Scholastic averages for the entire
school have been released by the
registrar's office. A. M. Zarem, elec-
trical, lends the senior class with an
average of 2.98. The junior class is
led by a chemical, H. F. Newman,
with an average of 2.89. M. Camras
with an average of 2.96 heads the
sophomore class, while the freshmen
are led by A. F. Norwood with a
straight A average of 3.00.

The seniors top the classes in the
ratings, followed by the lower classes
in order.

Senior class ............. 1.65

Junior class ............. 1.49

Sophomore class .

Freshman class . .

As can be seen, the senior class
has a much higher average than the
other classes. This gradual increase
in the averages is caused by the
dropping out of the poorer students
in the lower classes.

Electricala Lead

Departmental averages show that
the clectricals lead the big three
(chemicals, electricals, and mechan-
icals) with an average of 1.53. The

ments with a 1.80 average.

Chinatown played host to the Ar~
mour Eye last Wednesday, March 8.
The occasion was a group dinner
given by the club at one of the more
exclusive chop suey houses. After
obtaining their fill of Chinese deli“
cacies, the members of the Eye ad-
journed to their rooms in Chapin
Hall where they heard two lectures
by fellow members.

First of the evening’s speakers
was James A. Rummell on “The Con-
struction and Use of Photo-electric
Cells in Conjunction with Photog-
raphy.” Rummell described the inv
ner working of the photmelectric
cell in theory and practice. The loc—
ture continued with the applications
of the photo-electric cell to actual
problems in the field of photography.

Donald F. Crego, president of the
Eye, discussed the subject “Infra
Red Light.” During the course of the
lecture, reference was made to the
fact that excellent photographs can
be taken in a perfectly dark room if
a hot flat iron has its infra-red rays
focused on the subject. The infra
red rays, however, must be used in
conjunction with a specially prepared
film.

A new studio camera built by
Conley has been purchased. The
camera takes a. 5 by '7 inch picture.
After the lecture various tests were

Engineering Men

 

 

 

 

With the help of Professor Mc-
Cormack, chairman of the legislative
committee of the Illinois Engineer-
ing; Council, an attempt will soon be
made to pass a hill in the. Illinois
state legislature requiring the regis—
tration of practicing engineers. Many
attempts have been made in the past
to pass legislation of this sort, but
all have met strong opposition, es-
peciully from the unions. The pres—
ent bill, as it is drawn up, is in a
form which should eliminate as much
of this opposition as possible.

 

ll accepted, the bill will require
the passing of an examination and
subsequent registration. A similar
system has been used in the legal
and medical fields for many years.

Many states have some law per-
twining to the registration of eniri-
neors. This organization of the pro-
fession has benefited society as a
whole for it has raised the standards
of practice and, above all, has of"
l'crcd a method for a more compact
organization of the profession. It
will undoubtedly also necessitate an
elevation of standards of schools of
engineering.

Composed of men in many engi-
neering fields, the Illinois Engineer-
ing Council was organized about six
months ago in the interests of engi-
neering, At the present time Presi~
dent Hcald and Professor McCor.
mack are members of the Council.

Last Thursday at 3:30 a meeting-
of the A.T.S.A. hoard was called to

 

 

 

consider several important questions

 

 

made with the camera.

Drama, Tho/ls,

Young Ladies,
Feature Play

Mystery ~— suspense — excitement
thrills—will be in store for all who
are planning to see “Captain Apple-
jack” presented by the Armour Plays
ers on the evenings of April 2151; and
22nd in the auditorium of the Student
Union Building.

This, the second production of the
current school year, is a modern play
written in an extremely fascinating
Arabian Nights entertainment mood
and contains much more physical
action and universal appeal than
would he expected in any other type of
dramatization.

Selection of the cast, including the
feminine roles, has already been com-
pleted, and rehearsals are now under
way. Richard Lescher has designed
a set which will enable the audience
to view all action on the stage from
all angles.

After the curtain has been drawn
on the final act of the play, the en-
tertainment will by no means be over.
Don Charlton and his Armour Tech
social orchestra will then swing into
action for the dancing enjoyment of
all.

Techawks will have another chance
to enjoy a fine dance in the Student
Union because the seniors have
planned another open dance to be
held Saturday, March 25, at 9:30
p.m. As the first class to hold a
dance in the Union, the seniors have
set a precedent of holding dances on
the campus. An unusual feature of
the dance is the fact that the price
of a bid will be only one dollar.

After auditioning several orches-
tras, the social committee, consisting
of B. G. Anderson, chairman, T. Col~
lier, I. M. Footlik, W. D. Chapman,
R. Kotal, S. J. Moculeski, and E. C.
Mitchell, finally selected Don Wal-
lace and his orchestra. With this
eleven piece orchestra to supply the
music, all who attend are promised
an enjoyable evening of dancing.

The senior class is trying to start
a series of inexpensive dances in the
Union. “We are attempting to en-
courage more social affairs in the
Student Union with prices as low as

possible," stated B. G. Anderson,
“and still have well-known or-
chestras.”

Future Managers To Hear

“How College Graduates Look to

of a talk to be given next Friday,
March 17, before the Armour Chap
ter of the Society for Advancement
of Management, by Mason Smith,
personnel manager of Marshall Field
and Co.

Mr. Smith, who daily comes in con—
tact with a large number of college
men, should give senior students
some interesting pointers on qualify-

 

ing for a position.

The Engineering Science depart—
ment again asked that they be giv—
en the recognition and consideration
a distinct department deserves. A
motion to the effect that they be
allowed to have a Junior Marshall
was defeated, the reason being that
there are only three students.

The various committees in charge
of the department elections of Junior
Marshals gave their reports next.
Results were as follows: Junior Mar-
shals are; J. G. Eggers, Jack Clark,
S. A. Heenan, D. J. Mackey, W. H.
Scherer and J. D. Shaver. Alternates
elected are Edw. Brannick, J. G.
Cerovslci, G. E. Dainin, Ralph Eris~
man and L. W. Norkus.

From these Junior Marshals will
be chosen the Head Marshal. This
Marshal is elected by the entire
class. The alternate in the depart—
ment from which the Head Marshal
is chosen automatically becomes

which have come up. The most im»
portant of these was the "Green
Cap" situation, noon to come into be-
ing again. Athletic awards were dis-
cussed after the green but problem,
and finally a new rule concerning
meeting dates for the A.T.S.A.. was
adopted.

Each year, on St. Patricks’ Day,
the freshmen are again requested to
replace their “Pots," on the shelf
since Thanksgiving. This year the
freshmen will NOT wear their
hats. This statement is by official
order of the dean’s office. No en-
forcement by members of the class

Robert Sweeney, the sophomore
class A.’I‘.S.A. member, stated that
it is the intention of the sophomores
not to participate in the annual
Junior Wcok rush if they are not al«
lowed to enforce the wearing of
green hats. The statement from the
dean stands, in spite of any protest
which the class of ’41 may make.
The institution of Junior Week is
much older than that of green hats
and has a greater tradition behind it.
Green hats were introduced only five
years ago, in accordance with the
general practice in institutions of}
higher learning in this country. It
was felt that this action would help
in uniting the freshman class and in
getting them started on the right
foot. Since green hats have only
proven a "sore thumb” and have been
a continual source of trouble in the

All is in readinesg and the mldwest
is waiting for the gun which will start
the eleventh running of the Armour
Tech Relays on Saturday, March 18
at the U. of C. Fieldhouse. Over
thirty schools have already accepted
invitations and many latecomers are
expected to check in before the final
day.

John J. Schommer, chairman of the
committee in charge of the games, has
obtained a group of capable and ex-
perienced officials who are certain to
conduct the various events with the
greatest efficiency possible. On Mr.
Schommer’s committee are George
Allison, Norman ‘Root, and A1
Schreiber.

Prominent Men to Officinkc

Chief referee for the games will be,
T. N. Metcalf, athletic director of the
University of Chicago. J. J. Lipp,
noted football oii‘icial will act as head
timer while the post of starter will be
held by Dr. W- J. Monilaw. The phy-
sicinn in charge is Dr. J. F. McNam-
ara ol' Armour Tech.

Outstanding among the judgcs at
the finish are August Pritzlatl‘, direc-
tor of high school athletics, Judge
Hugo Friend, D. H. Brown, and Grant
Stengfci‘. Judges at the high jump are
P. A. Maciarlane and Anton Burg.
Professors S. F. Bibb and W. W. Col-
vert will officiate in the pole vault.

In charge of the. shot put will be
C. J. Plocar and Nels Norgren, Chi-
cano truck conch. Bernard Weissmsn
has been selected as a marshall and
Al Schrciber and Art Jens represent
the press.

Other Officials Named

James Lightbody will serve in the
capacity of head inspector being as-
sistcd by W. C. Kraft‘t and Jay
Wyatt. The clerk of the field and
clerk of the course are not definitely
known, but they will probably be
Harry Frieda and J. K. Andern re~
spectively. Other officials will be
known in a few days.

Trial heats, for most of the events,
will begin at 4:00 Saturday afternoon
with the regular schedule planned for
7 o’clock on through the end. The
order of events will be the some as in
the past with the exception of the
special invitational mile which will be
held at the convenience of the partic-
ipants.

Brink Competition Indicated

Tommy Deckerd and J:mmy Smith,
formerly of Indians have accepted
bids to compete against Chuck Fensks
in an attempt to break Fenske’s mile
record of last year. A number of other
records will probably fall by the way-
side before the meet is over.

Lute entries received during the
past week include the University of
Nebraska, University of Duhuque,
Cornell College, and Wilson Jr. Col-
lege. Others are Kansas State, Van-
derbilt, Grinncl, and Carlton College.

The entries are divided into univer-
sity and college divisions with special
events for each. This Will tend to
bring about a more even balance and
will stimulate competition to a much
keencr point than is shown in many
other meets.

Musical Clubs Give
Concert-s This Wench

Continuing their string of success‘
ful performances, the Armour Musi<
cal Clubs will appear before the
Rotary Club of Chicago today. This
concert is to be held in the Grand
Ballroom of the Hotel Sherman at
twelve o'clock. Serving as a luncheon

 

dean’s office, they are being ubol~
ished for good. Hazing of freshmen
is definitely frowned upon by all of
the institute officials.

In adopting the new rules for
meetings of the board, the A.T.S.A.‘
made provisions for having defini
periodic meetinp‘s. This action it
felt to be neces y in order to have ,
a definite, pro-arranged date on tin“
calendar so that all of the members.‘
both student and faculty, can be
present. Meetings will now be hold
once every month in contrast to the
calling of meetings whenever it was
deemed necessary to have one.
