Z440 ’Nome’ Books Lisl- l_orge Number of Tech Professors Herald Mentioned in All Three Directories A little browsing around among the books devoted to listing“ men of ac- complishment will reveal a surprising number of Armour Institute faculty members. Two of these books, Who’s Who in America. and America’s Young Men, are amended and repub- lished every two years, while a third, Amcri.m Men, of Science, is revised once in four years. These are the only nationally known books whose scope includes complete listing of peo- ple in the United States. Of. these three, Who’s Who America, the leading biographical di- rectory of the country, has just dis- tributed its latest edition. Our facul- ty has eight representatives among the 31.545 names it contains. They are: President H. T. Heald; Dr. H. M. Raymond, President Emeritus of the Institute; Dr. 'L. R. Ford; Prof. J. C. Penn; Prof. A. H. Carpenter; G. F. Gebhardt, Professor Emeritus in . mechanical engineering; Prof. C. E] Paul; and Dr. G. L. Schergcr.

W.$.E. to Discuss Merits 0% Engineering Societies The W.S.E. will hold their next regular meeting Friday at 10:30. Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, Tuesday, October IS, 1938 1 Invite Student Architects To van der Rohe Meeting Architectural students have been given the opportunity to attend the meeting following the.Ludwig Mies van dcr Rohe testimonial dinner this evening. A place has been set aside for them to listen to the proceedings of the meeting, without charge. The meeting is scheduled to start at 8:15. The dinner is to be held in the main ballroom of the Palmer House and will be attended by outstanding architects from the Chicago area. All students who wish to attend the dinner may obtain tickets at the Art Institute. The price, as announced on the bulletin board, is $3 per plate. ‘Armour Eye” begins Membership Campaign Armour Eye extends an open in- vitation to all students, earnestly and actively interested in photog— raphy, to attend a meeting at the organization‘s headqulartcrs tomor- row. The purpose of this meeting is to enable the club to discover new talent to enrich its membership. For the past few weeks the Ar- mour Camera Club has been under» going some extensive remodeling. The club has fiver-coma in Cbapin Hall which when completed will con- sist of two dark rooms, an executive room, a studio, and an exhibit room. With an appropriation from the A.T.S.A. which is pending, the club plans to get an enlarger and some studio equipment. Regular meetings are held every Friday at twelve o'clock noon in the studio in Chopin Hall. Monthly night meetings are being planned at which prominent photographers; will be guests, to lecture or judge the club work. Arrangements are being made for picture contests to be held among the members each month. Each con- test will consist of two parts, the first being on a general subject and the second on individual subject which the participant will choose by lot. There will be eight monthly contests in all, and the winners of each of these will compete in a final contest. These Contests are expect- ed to contribute new ideas and to encourage a greater interest in club work. Around the wall of the exhibit room, a rack has been built in which mounted pictures will be shown. The pictures will be replaced each month with new content pictures, so that a large and changing variety can be shown. S Nome hi. 3. Anthea Chairman of Seniors I At the first meeting of the senior class under the new form of gov- ernment, the c ass commissioners and officers were introduced to the class. Harold S. Anthon, as chair- man of the commission took over the meeting from W. E. Kruse, class president of the junior year. Anthon then introduced his associate officers who are, namely, T. A. Clark, vice and S. P. Finnegan, secretary. The other commissioners are, mechani‘ cals, R. N. Vandekeift; civil, C. W. Reh; fire protects, B. G. Anderson; electrical, R. I. Bush; chemical, S. J. Moculeski and E. N. Isakson; and science, E. F. Wagner.

A. Pearl of Armour’s mechanical engineering department presented a paper on the metallug» raphy of welding high strength structural steels. In speaking to over 2200 delegates who had assembled, he pointed out the curious fact that the material at the vicinity of the weld invari- ably has a different tensile strength from that of the original pieces. In the case of low carbon steel, this increases fifty per cent, whereas most of the new alloy steels seem to be weaker at this point. He went on to show some of the problems brought up by this phenomenon. Dr. Pearl also presented papers to the American Gas Association in Cincinnati and at Washington Uni“ versity in St. Louis last spring. I-Iis subject in the former instance was “The Metallography of Welding and the Importance of Training Weld‘ ere.” In the latter instance he spokel 0n the “Adaptability of Stokers to‘» Domestic and Small Industrial ln— stallations.” Petition Plan To Be Used For Freshman Elections Last Friday the freshman class ol- iiccrs and election committee, met in the gym to discuss the various meth~ 0d: ‘01' carrying on an election. The method they decided on is the petition form of election, in which nominees are admitted to the primary ballot by signed petitions, and elected on a second ballot. Final details have not been de- cided upon, but the committee will meet next Friday, and have the com— plete plan ready for presentation the following week. The committee's uim Three New Men Made Trustees On Monday, Oct. 10, James D. Cunningham, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Armour Institute, an- nounced the election of three new members to the board. The new mem— bers are Charles B. Nolte, C. L. Rice, and Harold S. Ellington. The new members are all very prominent in midwestern industry. Mr. Nolte, President of Crane and Co. was born at Mattoon, Ill. He received a B. S. in mechanical en— gineering from the University of 11- linois in 1909 and then joined the firm of R. W. Hunt as engineer, remaining- with the firm until 1930. During his employ with this concern he rose from engineer to manager, vicc~president, and finally to general manager. Mr. Noltc has been Presi» dent of Crane and Co. since 1935. Mr. Rice was born in Pittsiield, Mass. and received his college train- ing: at the Massachusetts State Col- logo and Boston University. After his graduation, he served one year as junior engineer at the filtration plant of Pittsficld and then entered the Western Electric Co. at the Chi- cago plant. In 1908 he was made Vice President, the position which he holds at the present time. Mr. Ellington, an alumnus of Ar- mour Institute, 0.13., ’08, began his professional career with the National Construction Co. railroad engineers. Ho Iator,trunsferred to the. Standard Concrete Construction Co. From .1912 to 1016 he was plant engineer for Stroh Brewing (30., Detroit, and from T016 to 1910 construction manager for the Booth Estate, De— troit. Since 1019 he has been a menu ber of several firms of architects and engineers, and now is a partner of the firm, Harley and Ellington. it”s eases Final muss Figures I I, or ”bars”, Registrar lie Latest figures- are now available concerning this semester’s registraw tion. As in the past, the night school greatly outnumbers the day division. Complete figures of the night school are not available, but the figures of Friday, October 14, show that 1740 students have registered. In addition to this 100 students have gone through the Registrar’s office, but ave not completed registration. Business decline is held responsible for the slack in the enrollment, since last year there were 2067 students in the night school. Great increases in department registration in the day school and the cooperative classes compensate for this decrease in the night school. A total of 1068, compared with 046 for last year, have enrolled. There are 236 students in the cooperative department, as compared with 168 for last year. Class enrollment has increased ex- cept in the senior class. The fresh! men class now numbers 335. There are 269 in the sophomore class. The largest increase is in the junior class. There are 223 juniors as compared with 163 for last year. The seniors number 147; part time students, 50; graduate students, 4/1. The department of mechanical en— ginoering‘ loads the school in enroll- ment. There are 343 mechanicals. The chemicals number 283; electri- cals, 173; civiln, 107; architects, 83; fire protects, (i3; and science 16. In the cooperative department, there are 9] first year students in mechanical cneincerinu, 81. second year, and 64 in the third year. In the night school the mechanical en- l chairman; A. M.

In addition to the indus- ih‘ial areas already incorporated in :the present cooperative set-up. which . includes the Chicago industrial area. the Waukcg’un industrial area, and the tri-city ‘area, institute oflir’ils, accordinl,r to L. J. Lease, industrial coordinator for the cooperative course, are planning to include the Kankakce industrial area in the plan. The course is of five years’ dura- tion. Requirements for admls'on are thesamc as in the other courses and the degree of bachelor of science is conferred upon those who complete the course. According to the cooperative plan approximately half the cooperative studentsare assigned to courses at the Institute, while their partners, constituting the xremainder of the group, are employed in the plants and factories of the cooperating indus— tries. The groups are interchanged given year each student is in college twentyd’our weeks and in the factory twenty-six weeks. A sufficient wage is paid to each student to enable him to meet all ot‘ tuition and other fees at the Institute. One of the conspicuous merits of the plan is that it provides college train- not afford a college education. kakee area will be the same as in the Chicago area and will provide for resident study at the Institute in a manner similar to that for the tri- city area.

The ocea~ sion is to he the annual Ar): dance, called this your, the ZAltABANDA. Music will be furnished by Junie Griggs and his Colonial Club orches- tra. For the information of those who have thus far escaped the cry of “Hey, how about a bid to the Arx dance?" the total demand on the pocketbook is $1.50. Decorations for the Michigan Arx style. The bids, which are cir— culating freely at present, give a pre- view of the artistic cilort which has been expended to make the affair a success. Plenty of Balloons As for the ballroom itself, the committee promises a ceiling covered with balloons. This should provide an excellent target on which all en~ skill. In addition to the balloons, decorations all over the room to carry out the theme of ZARABANDA, or “liveliness.” The feature of the evening will be, of course, the orchestra. The Colonial Club is a ten piece organization which has, in addition, a vocalist from Northwestern University. The ability and appearance of this singer are two 01' the factors which led the commit- ‘ Club. Another governing factor is the ability of the musicians to play, an almost endless variety of selec- tions. It is a well known l'act that some people like swing music, while others do not. Since Mr. Griggs’ boys can play in both styles, they were a logical. choice to satisfy cveryone.‘ 0n Sheridan Road Directions for reaching the Edge- watcr Beach Hotel are quite simple: The “Beach" is located on Sheridan [toad at Balmoral Avenue; this is 5400 noth and 1000 west. The eas— iest way to get there from the south side is to go over to the outer drive and follow it north right to the hotel. From the west side the best way is to take Ogden Avenue to its end, then take Lincoln Park West, and Stockton (Continued on. page four) ’Eil‘reumliners’ Saturday blight Rapid transportation, or the story of the men behind the streamlincr, is the topic of the third program in Ar- nour’s fifth educational radio broad- cast series. This prom-am depicts the evolution of the old steam locomotive to the new streamlined Diesel; the story of a race against time, under ad» i verse conditions, to prove to the world that a newer, better, and faster mode of transportation had been perfected for the use of everyone. i * ' The most important problem of a powerful lightweight engine solved by Rudolph Diesel who devised what is known today as the Dl('.\'('l en- u’inc.
