Union Packed to Rafters As Armour’s Dramatists Present ‘Journey's End’ Before an appreciative audience (If some 600, Frid“y evening, the Ar- mour Players presented their most successful and ambitious project of recent years-Journey’s End. Play- ers Bernard Sternfeld (Capt. Stan- hope); Charles McAlcer (Lieut. 0s- borne) ; Ray Nerhus (Lieut. Raleigh) ; James Duncan (Lieut. Hihbert); and Leon Epstein (Lieut. Trotter) turned in performances of exceptional note and realized the full dramatic possi- bilities of a play which, by its very nature, afforded potentially a means of exploiting the talents and trainv‘ ing‘ of an engineering college.

The d‘ince .I to be held in the New Student Union building on Friday, February 3. At a meeting: of the (lo-op Club just before the holidays it was decided that a dance should be given by the (lo-op Club at the end of the present term. Thanks to excellent coopera- tion on the part of the dance commit- tee and members of the club, arrange- Inent‘v‘. have now been completed. Mem- bers of the dance committee appoint- ed by President F‘red Krahulcc are Walter Jordan, Chairman; Bill Anv thony and Bert Milleville. The Student Union was picked as the most suitable place for the (lance because. of the excellent facilities for such an affair. The roomy dance floor, soda fountain, and the spacious and inviting lounge should combine to make the occasion a hiizhly enjoyable one to all attending. Al Trace’s orchestra was chosen from a wide selection of Chicagoland dance orchestras. Al plays regularly at the Sherman llotel and his orches— tra is noted for its melodious dance music. The auditorium will be ;:ailv dec- orated for the occasion as a special delegation, appointed for the purpose, is already workingr out the plans. The bids, pricrd $1.50 each, are now on sale.

This con- cert and an unannouced trip are scheduled to he held during February for the two organizations. New Time Set For Broadcasts In the '1 new seIics of radio talks titled the “ aculty Club.” the radio audience is elven a view of activities of thcI Faculty Club. The “round table” talks. will be broadcast weekly at 12:17) p.m. on Sunday aft- ernoon over WCFL. Radio audiences were taken on a tour of the Faculty Club in last Sun- day’s broadcast and stopped to hear a discussion as to whether there are too many engineers in this coun- try. PIofessor Harris bIe'an the dis- cussion and the other members of the faculty that discussed the ques— tion were Professors: Dutton, Pee- hles, and Sptars. An important statement as wheth- er all men trained to be engineers would really continue in that pro- fession was considered. Mr. Harris carried on the disco sion by saying that the engineei ifted out of the conventional channels, not because he was not trained for the. particular field, but because so many new lines of work have presented themselves that the engineer often becomes in- terested in other work which de- mands him. About three quarteIs of the grad- uate engineers. end up in fields which 'their undergraduate work did not seem to destine them for. The de— mand is not a conventional method of hiring just to fill a job, but it is a demand for trained men, according to Professor Dutton. The engineer creates his own demand as he shapes the material and forces of the in- dustrial wmld in which he lives. He then fits himself to that demand by first of . civilization. Gen. Wood S.
