In particular, President l—lcald and ’l‘reasurcr Allison are due for a thank you note on this, as it was their sympathetic action that removed this rather irritating thorn from the collective students’ side. indeed, not only were the matches provided, but we were pleasantly surprised with the incor- poration of the school colors and seal in the design of the covers. ”Plan [Amy-n» I”? in vvvurfnrwv n? its nH‘ m u a m “1; Humor more“ “you”, .1. .... c... ...aJ sec... to have had, perhaps, too much the flavor of insigni- licance about it. Certainly, as far as the financial aspect is concerned, the matter was ridiculous to the extreme. Per book of matches, the cost is ap- proximately one tenth of a cent. Too, the inconvem ience to the student in either purchasing a bulky box of the sulfur woods, doing without them, or in trusting to the good nature of the candy company supplying the book store in leaving a few packages as a courtesy, might be considered as having been overvexaggerated. But there was a definite feeling, on the part of the students who patronized the lunch room and bought cigarettes there, that the attitude of the Institute toward them in this case was rep~ resentative of a trend of neglect in extending ordin- ary courtesles to them in non-scholastic enterprises. And the sentiment was strong enough to instigate a student investigating committee and for Technolo- gy News to comment on the situation editorially. That part of it is now a closed book. The student sentiment was called to the attention of the adminis- tration and the condition has been corrected. More than that, we think, could not, be asked, unless it TECKINOKAOGY NEWS be that such understanding and cooperation, as has been stimulated, continue in all phases; of the stu- dent’s relations with the school, as it has in this case, and as it always has in educational matters. The moral to this story, if there is any, is that such understanding is a vital necessity in a school as large as 1sz for. as we have observed, the lack of it creates a real harm in student dissatisfaction and cynicism. Til. GEE ”Ml Wflllll WE on With the passing of Junior Week, most of us find that from now until June 7 there is nothing left for us but work, work, and more work. Reports, draw» ings. reports. cramming and more reports will all go to make this a busy {our week period. Some of us will choose to do the work; others. will allow the balmy weather to gain its hold. To those who are choosing the latter course we extend our most pro~ found sympathy. We understand how you missed your first two classes Monday morning because the moon was full Sunday night. We realize the difficulty of doing homework Monday night while thinking about that Sunday date. We also are quite aware of the excelm lent radio programs that Tuesday night has to offer. Since you didn't do any homework Monday or Tuesm day, you figure that Wednesday is about as good a day as any to cut your classes, but that doesn’t mat- ter since you will undoubtedly finish all your back work Thursday night after having gotten a refresh- ing night's sleep Wednesday. But Aunt Jennie and Uncle Joe are coming to stay over Thursday and Friday. so you'll just have to put off that Saturday night date or else put the work oil for next week. It is, of course, impossible for us to have any warmth in our hearts for the fellow who p15 in clean up his work the next few weeks. We be brand him a lazy, goorl-for-nothing time‘waster. if he does pass in all his courses? The fact is, he'll What if he does finish his work by June, 7, and what have absolutely nothing to do all summer but loaf. . He might even graduate in {our yearsm—just in time to obtain a position in an essential industry and thereby avoid being drafted. So you see, fellow students, this man is not only a time-waster, he's ll slacker. tool if you don't “want, to find yourself” in the above position, we advise you to relax and take it easy for the coming month. Keep those mid-week appoint: merits, and don‘t. let those heavy homework as- signments disturb you. if our advice is followed. we gimrantee you an extremely full summer and, who knows, maybe another year at ll'l‘. ill}. llEEElkhEl’l liiillihl ill-lll‘lill‘il In any wordossociation test these (lays if you my “hobby" about half the people will immediately answer “photography," 0n street corners and in offices men and women gather in little circles of confusion and talk about gamma, latitude, emul- sion speed, depth of focus and anastigmats.

Small wonder, then, that to visitors the main service darkroom of the Armour Research Foundation is one of the highlights. Photography in its; many applications has become one of the most useiul of research tools. Aside from the obvious record photographs there are spectro' grams, photomicrog-aphs, X~ray pictures and dif- fraction patterns. There are also ordinary and high— speed motion pictures, and filtered photographs of things that the eye never sees. All these together demand darkroom facilities of production capacity.

Walls and ceiling are white to give maximum visibility under filtered safelights, and have mounted electric clocks, working and viewing lamps. A dark maze allows entrance with— out opening a door even when operating in total darkness, and also provides an inlet for fresh air which is circulated by fans and concealed wall. ducts. The walls are lined with white enameled steel work benches and cabinets with steel shelves and smooth-rolling supply drawers. Bench tops are of stainless steel and have a slightly raised edge to prevent water and chemicals from dripping to the floor. Sinks are made integral with the bench tops. Each sink has two swingspout faucets, one for hot and cold water and the other warm water which is first filtered, then thermostatically controlled by an automatic mixing valve set into the wall. In front of each sink is a dial thermometer which shows at all times the temperature of the water flowing. One sink is especially built with adjustable submerged racks to act as a thermostatic bath for developing trays and tanks.

Collegians, or what is better known as “Joe.- College." supposedly have the an. sum to this “live in comfort; sans the slept in it” appearance.” De- sinmers, however put a firm AND noisy veto on this; type of garb, with the mere explanation: f'It’s messy.” The lone acceptors of this: informal garb are college fe~ males who ale forced to do so in View of the equally “messy," may; “sloppy" Therefore. standing: legions: wear?” Your roving rc~ porter. as might have been impli- cated from the above, acquircdn few ideas and suggestions from the recent rush.

High point of the evening, of course, was the highly~touted “Male Leg Contest.” Hilarious in all its aspects, the melee for most beautiful male 113;; 11011018 brought to the stage a rare assortment of hairy limbs of various shapes and sizes. Judging of these hir- sute appendages was conducted by Miss Bea Mathews and the dance committee. Miss Mathews has had excellent training in the observa- tion of legs and was amply quali- fied as a judge on the basis of her work at Michael Todd’s Theatre Cafe where she has displaced Gypsy Rose Lee in the affections of neophytes of the terpsichorean art. One of the strongest con- tenders for “Best Male Leg” was “Gravel-throat” Weissmann who, mor has it, bathed those mis- shaven limbs for a week in milk to further endow them with that lustrous creamy whiteness, so ap— pealing to contest pudges. After much deliberation the honor was finally granted to Chester Swan. Armourite is obvious “What will modern coir over the jacket.

Complementing these numbers for a full evening's concert, the Illinois Tech musical clubs opened the program, starting with the dramatic “ll G‘uarney” Oven lure by the orchestra, followed by three expertly done Glee Club numbers, and finishing with two instrumental selections: MacDow~ oil’s “To a Water Lilly,” done in a rarely attempted arrangement «a French horn solo—and Grieg’o “To Spring.” Then the air became charged with tenseness; musical club mem- bers who belonged to fraternities went upstairs to swell the ranks —-—and everyone was at attention, ready to give his best for his own organization.

The closeness of the contest, however, moved the judges to give honorable mention to two other photo—finishers: Del- ta Tau Delta, and Phi Kappa Sig- ma. A second series of musical club numbers followed, including se- lections by two more of their so- loists, Robert Hemmen, baritone, who takes a large share of the credit for the club’s successes this season; and Roy Hrubes, trombon- ist. Both soloists gave encoree. The program closed with audience, fraternities, chorusters and on chestra, all joining in on Mrs. Erickson’s “ll’l‘ Loyalty Song.”
