Armour camera enthusiasts will have the opportunity of exhibiting their prize pictures in this salon, as the faculty; and entire student body are invited to participate. The restrictions are that the pic» tures must be eight by ten inches or larger in size, and that they be mounted on a 16:20 inch light colored stifi“ caIdboai-d mount. All entries must be submitted at the Armour’s Eye club rooms by noon, May 9. The prints in this salon will be judged by the “Open Ho - Night Visitors."

The boys also plan to exhibit a completely equipped dark room on that night. juicera, Mocha Won Trip Third diiietfhoirnera Inspection trips are the order of the day for several groups in the near future. On April 18, today, the 9. A. M. is sponsoring a trip to Bauer and Black while on May 1 the senior mechanicals and clectricals will take an all day trip to Allis- Chalmers company. This afternoon at 2:30 the S.A.M. trip will meet in front of the Bauer and Black building preliminary to starting~ the tour. Production meth- ods with an eye to economic problems and plant layout will be the objects of this trip. Economic aspects of plant management will also be brought out. Mechanicals and clectricals will be excused on May I because the Allia- Chalmcrs trip is an nibday affair. Attendance will be taken when the group assembles in front of the com- munity building at 9:00. This trip will take in the huge shops of the company showing the many complex industrial processes which are used by this versatile corporation. Since Allis-Chalmers makes so many de— vices of an electrical nature, particu- larly motor driven power units, and so many varieties of intricate mc‘ chanical machines, water wheels, pumps, motors, and special machines this trip is. of special interest to all mechs and juicera. Arrangements are being handled by Irving Footlik and Russell Kotal. Any senior of these two departments should see either of these men for further information on transporta- tion and other arrangements. Variety oi Topics @ttered III Iviovie To be Shown Sui“.

Recently the number of persons in— vitod to attend these Saturday movies has been increased. The placards ad- vertising these movies have been sent to many indu. rial companies in Chis cage and its vicinity. l. M. Footlik, who has been making all of the ar- rangements, expressed the opinion that the turnout of these men has been quite gratifying. The number of working men who have come to these movies has greatly exceeded the attendance of high school students. The purposes of these movies are twofold. The first to show the working man the developments being made in various fields other than his own, and the . ond is to acquaint high school seniors and working: men with Armour institute in an cI'Iort to further the mutual understanding between them and the Institute. An additional rc‘ ‘ n for inviting high fichool seniors s to show them the type of work that an engineer is en. gagged in and to show the typical problems confronting the practising engineer. Three movies were shown last Saturday entitled “The Chilled Car Wheel", “Farther. Faster, Safer”, and ”Algonquin Waters." The first dealt with the modern foundry praw tise of sweating railroad car wheels on by means of dry ice or liquid air. The following picture treated the progress of transportation. The third romanccd about the water sports and travel lore of Lake Algon- quin.

April Is, That the Moderate May Know Two weeks ago an editorial was piloted in the TECH NEWS on some of the faults of the A.T.S.A. have been made by any member of the A.T.S.A. to answer the Since then no attempts accusations. Only one conclusion is possible, and that is that they: are ”true. Election of officers, which occurs every year, has taken place up to the present time as follows: The candidates for office are chosen by a nominating committee which committee is in turn handpicked by members of the AT...SA Board The nominating committees in past years have deftly succeeded in picking candl- da’res where only one choice was possible. makes possible a rule by one group that already has a majority of offices in the organization. In fact the Board has been. for the past three years, the private stomping grounds of one social fra— Iiernity, Phi Pi Phi. A week ago, Lloyd Norkus, the first vicevpresident, who should have been president automatically next year, resigned from the Board. According to the present constitution the succeeding officer is going to be picked by the remaining members of the present Board of Control. This can mean only thing : the present situation will continue for another year unless drastic actions are taken. If is evident from these facts that the students in general have nothing to say as to the manner in which this student organization is run. The present constitution has a provision whereby it can only be amended by a two-thirds vote of the ENTIRE STUDENT BODY. Upon only one occasion. and that was; the vote on the Student Union, have that many students voted, let alone agreed upon a measure. With the present setup any change In the present consl'ii tuiion is impossible Furthermore. this constitution, which is supposed to be pub- lished every year. hasn't been seen by the students for the past FIVE years. There is only one solution to all these difficulties and that is a new constitution. A committee has been working on revisions of the existing constitution for the past few months. and the re— sults of their deliberations are printed on the second page of this issue of the NEWS for all to see. We demand that a vote be taken on l’his constitution by Fri- day of this week before a new president is selected. It is only in this manner that the administration of the A.T.S.A. can be returned to the hands of the students of Armour, where it belongs. Every student pays a total of nineteen dollars a year as an activity tee. Most of this amount goes to the. ATSA. It you want a voice in the spendmg of your money, vole affirmatively on this constitution when it is brought up for a vote.

The new constitution is printed in the editorial space on page two. chcrul important changea arc to he found in this new not of rules. The chanficn have been made for the express purpose of remedying" several dcl'e'ts in the old rules. The follow— ing- list gives these changes and the reasons for making them. Article V., Sec. 2. Only one. fac— ulty representative is allowed under the new rules, as contrasted to two formerly. This change in made so that the students will have a greater majority on the board. Article V1., Sec. 2. A new method of nomination is put Into olfact. Where the nominations were made by the hand-picked committee of the board, they will now be open to everyone. Anyone may place his name on the ballot. The provision for clone hallottinp; is also now. It providI-n that more than the two high- cst men from the primary may be on the final ballot. The 3% figure ap~ plicn to the proportion of the total vote which must exist as a plurality between two new nivc candidates before a man may lot- said to be eliminated. These changes will allow greater freedom of nomination, eliminating: any caucus. Article VI., Sec. II. The entire board will now conduct the election rather than the small committee as wan the former practice. This change is a small one, being" a technicality. Article VII. Meetings of the board will now be held on definite damn rather than on the everyano— often basis us used before.

For the first time in its history, the Armour Players are producing: a play in conjunction with another school, Chicago Teachers College.

Scrapping the old four cornered set, Richard Lischcr, a Irrnduute architect, designed a three corner set which will project the ac~ tors’ voices at an increased volume throughout the hall. Besides the bet— ter acoustics the now set allows a better view of the stage from the balcony along with better lighting ef— fects and more room back stage. All New Flats Unod The flats used in the new set were all newly built and painted by the stage crow directed by Bob Under- hill and Bill Buckmun. Another innovation, the double cast, will be tried out in this produc— tion, each of the costs being; used for one performance. Success in this venture will result in the use of double caste in the. future, allow- ing: twice as many students the chance of acting in coming produc— Lions. Double coating was also made pos- sible by the two night presentations of Captain Appleiack which was de- cided upon for this reason and also as a result of the audience conges- tion of the previous play. Play in Melodrama Captain Applcjack, itself, is a play that is in complete accordance with the tuslcs of the students, being an adventure melodrama packed with Ru spit-n, hidden icweln, gun play, and an all- conquering: hero.
