Z-l40 ticod Marshall Arranges for ”factor Week" Tentative plans for the thirty- fourth annual Junior Week have been by Head Marshal J ack released Clark. Junior Week, which will be held for three (ltlys—~—Wed1iesday, Thursday, and Friday, beginning on May 10. is an annual affair at Ar- mour. During this period lab reports, drawings, and math homework are forgotten by the students for the sake of a widely varied program ranging from athletics to an Open House ex— hiliition. Marshals Supervise Events Junior Week is run by a group of Junior Marshals chosen by the mem- bers of the Junior class. Each de- partment chooses a representative, and the Junior class as a group chooses a head marshal. The depart- ment from which the head marshal is chosen receives another marshal to take his place. All arrangements and the carrying out of the plans during Junior Week are taken care of by the marshals. Jack Clark, a me- chanical, has been chosen as head marshal for this Junior Week. The alternate, also from the mechanical department, is Ralph Erisman. Sidv ncy Hcenan represents the chemicals, while the elect1icals are taken care of by Dan Shaver. Don Mackey of the civils, John Burgers of the fire protects, and William Schcrer of the architects complete the list of mar-- shals. The program is designed to provide interest for every member of the stu~ dent body. Success for Junior Week can only be assurred by the complete cooperation of a majority of the stu- dent body according to Head Mar— shal Clark. In the past Junior Week was held in conjunction with classes, and continual strife between the pro- fessors and students anxious to omit classes was the result. Under this plan Junior Week was held for a full week. By eliminating classes entirely for a period of three days, it was felt that a much better spirit of cooper- ation would result. Last year was the, first time this plan was attempted.’ The plan is being repeated this year. Class Rush Friday One of the most awaited events of the entire year takes place during Junior Week, that is, the Senior-Fac— ulty baseball game. It is at this time that the seniors, after four years of subjugation, arise with justifiable spirit and proceed to FQI‘HI the fac- ulty back to the bush-league. The much talked of class rush be- tween the freshmen and the sopho- mores takes place at this time. The battle for the po ion of the straw and sand filled bag; will take place on Friday afternon of Junior Week. It has been a good many years since the freshmen have succeeded in best— ll’ltl' the sophomores in this annual classic. The pentathlon, the interfratcrnity track meet, and junior-senior tug-of- war, coupled with a large number of other events, are designed to provide a full week for the students. Novel Sets Used in Captain Applejock Construction of the set for the pro- duction “Captain Applejaek" has be- gun and is progressing rapidly. A new design for a set more adapt- able to the Student Union stage, has been contemplated for some time, but, because of the type of play presented was not yet practical. In previous productions the custom- ary three-walled set has been used. but, in order to give a clear View to all the seats in the auditorium, 21 two walled back will be built. The new set allows a wide degree of interchangability as the space he- hind the set has been put to use. Rchcaisals are being held three times a Week until the date of produc— tion. Cha1acters me to be taken by two persons with the idea of present- ing a different cast each night. Tickets may be obtained from any of the members of the Armour Play-' held so that the “A" and “B" groum ers. All seats are reserved. Armour Institute of Technology, Tibba/s to Ta/k To Deans Here Dean 0. A. Tibbals spoke before the annual meeting: of the Illinois Asso- ciation of Deans and Advisers to Men in the Student Union last Saturday. The formal part of the meeting started at 101.1 izations president, Dean C. W. Schroeder, of Bradley Polytechnic In« stitute, introduced the first speaker of the (lay, Dean C. H. Frederick of the University of Illinois. His speech was entitled “The Philosophy of Stu- dent Control with Particular Em— phasis on Its Legal Aspects." Follow- ing this, the group adjourned and had luncheon in the North Dining Hall. Shortly after lunch the meeting re— assembled in the lounge. Dean Tib- bals was introduced and served as the toastmastcr for the remainder of the program. After speaking briefly, he introduced Professor William Krathwohl of the mathematics depart. ment, who is the director of the edu— cational testing department. Dr. Kathwohl spoke on “Educational Test. ing Methods.” Following this speech, Dean Tibbals introduced Mrs. Anna C. Orcutt, the phyeholog‘ist of our personnel staff. She presented a pa- per on “Orientation and Remedial Class Work.” At the end of this spcrch, Dean Tibbals introduced Dean Wallace Emerson of Wheaton College, who led the ensuing: discussion. This organization, the Illinois As- sociation of Deans and AdVIs s of Men, was started four years ago at which time President Heald, who was then our dean, was elected president of the group. At the present time Dean C. W. Schroeder of Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Peoria is the president, and Dean C. I.. Miller of James Millikan University is the sec. rotary. This group has rapidly grown, and last Saturday twenty eol~ logos and universities participated in the meeting. A’s Meet B’s at Coop Smoker Approximately 120 Co-ops, from both the “A" and “B" groups, at- tended the Co»op Smoker last Friday evening in the Student Union Build- ing. Movies of the manufacture and design of diesel tractors were shown after a short business meeting con- cerning the activities of the CO—Op Club. Short. but Very interesting speeches were presented by President II. T. Heald. Dean C. A. Tibbals, and Prof. Philip C. Huntly. President Heald’s speech concerned the em- ploymcnt of Armour graduates, and the number of graduates employed in various fields of industry, such as: automotive, refrigeration, railroad, and various others. Dean Tibbals str ssed the development and impor- tance of personality in the field of engineering. Prof. Huntly elabo- rated on the discussion of the pre- vious speakers, and summarized his statements by saying that personality nothing; more nor less than “oomph." is All Co-opx Become Members The business meeting proved to be one of the most interesting meetings ever held by the Co‘op Club. After heated arguments from both groups of co—ops, two motions which were carried over from the last business meeting: of the club, were passed. These motions are: All co-op stu- dents entering Armour Institute shall automatically become members of the Co»op Club, and, thereafter, no ducs shall be collected by the club. The changes will become effective im‘ mediately. Among the changes in the club recommended by various co—ops were that officers of the club be elected from all classes of co-ops attending school at any particular time, and that all classes in school at any time be included in the club as a unified group. These two changes will give all classes equal representation, and will make all co—op events open to all members. It was aso urged that more social events for both groups be students become better acquainted. .m, when the eigann N TICE Because of the Easter Holidays, Utere will be no issue of the TECH NEWS next. Tuesday. Elects Hear Schroeder on Airplane Power and Radio; Pick W.S.E. Men Armour graduate, Mr. W. Schroeder of the radio division of United Air Lines, will speak to the A.I.E.E. at 10:30 Friday, April 14, on the power and radio equipment of one of the latest transport planes. At their last meeting the ALICE. elected two men to lepiesent them in the 1cm gam/cd W.S .E. Nominees for the positions weic F. E. Anderson, G. E. Damm. G. E. Frost, J. W. Hart— man, and A. Voras. Frost and Hart- man were elected. A plan to increase attendance of meetings was proposed by chairman A. M. Zarcm. Each member is re- quired to attend a minimum nuynhcr of regular meetings. Failure to do this makes the member ineligible to hold office and attend social functions of the A.I.E.E. Only reasonable ex- cuses for absence are acceptable. The plan is to he put to a vote at the next meeting. An Air Conditioning ls Faculty Club Topic The Armour Faculty Club prc- scnted its thirteenth program of the, pr 111‘. S1 ‘ over station WCFL, Sunday, Ap l 2. Members of the club participating: were Professor Nachman, Dr. Anderson, and Mr. Schrcibcr. The subject under discus. sion was air conditioning. Discuss Air Conditioning Professor Nacnman opened the talk with a brief definition of air con- ditioning: the control of temperature, humidity, cleanliness and the distri- bution of air within a building. It was shown that complete air condi» tionim: was a process desirable in winter as well as in summer; in the latter case the cooling of air is con- sidcrcd, and in the former. the heat- inu‘. Since heating forms; one of the problems in air conditioning, the suc— cess of a heating unit with respect to this field depends; greatly on its adaptability to conversion into a cool- ing- unit by sending cool water through its pipes. Air is passed over the coils and then distributed to the proper parts of the building. The question of air velocity or per- ceptible air currents, together with relative humidity, is one of the major problems encountered. It was stressed that perceptible air currents were necessary to insure maximum com‘ fort. Coexistent with air circulation, is the matter of air cleansing: by means of filters or by washing with water which also serves in cool it. Here the air passes through a fine mist of water, previously cooled to about 50 degrees, which absorbs the excess heat from the air and con- denses the water vapor present. Thus the relative humidity can be con- trolled by passing this vapor—free air through another bank- of spray water which would humidify the air to the degree desired. Applications Unlimited Air conditioning was shown to be of use not only in the home, office and other places where people congregate, but also in the factory. The textile industry was cited as a case where excessively high humidi as were re“ quired in the manufacture of cotton materials, and the drastic method of obtaining this humidity, such as spraying; water in the air, resulted in definitely detrimental working condi- tions. With the advent of air condi- tioning the control of temperature and humidity is now held within very narrow limits. NOTECE There will be an important meet- ing of the entire staff at 12:20 to- clmy in the NEWS office. Report- ers are especially requested to be present. Chicago, Illinois, Tuesday, April 4.
