Morin Conducts Fatigue Experiments An investigation on the fatigue strength of metals subjected to combined stresses is under way at IIT under the direction of Dr. J. Marin. A new type of fatigue testing machine has been designed and built for this purpose and will soon be in operation. The machine subjects a ’ thin~walled tubular specimen to a fluctuating internal pressure synchronized with a fluctuating axial load. This is a new field of research which is of particular importance in «zero nautical and machine design. The investigating is being spoon sored by the Welding Research Committee of the Engineering Foundation. Funds for the work carried on by this Committee are donated by various industries. The main committee is, in turn, spon- sored by the American Welding Society and the American Insti- tute of Electrical Engineers. Among those cooperating in an advisory capacity on this project are Colonel G. F. Jenks of the War Department, Washington, D. 0,, and Everett Chapman, President of the Lukenweld Company, Coat caville, Pennsylvania. Mr. L. Zwis slcr, graduate research assistant, is at the present time assisting Dr. Marin with this project. The machine was conetmctcti during the past few months in the Armour Research Foundation shop. A grant of about 551006 in being used for this work at pres exit and the estimated cost for next year is about $4000. been made as yet, it is suggested that ii‘iterestcd students contact lilies Lillian Snodgrass at Lewis. The spring session is now nearing completion, and twenty night atu' dents and six auditors will be given their final examination with» in two weeks. Termination of this course will merit the successful completion of two years of Civil Pilot Training at Lewis during which time the requirements; of the program have been met consistently.

Hawkers to Speak Present on this memorable oc- casion will be the faculty and beads of both schools to commcm crate the departure of the second graduating class from what has now become the leading engineer- ing school of the country in point of attendance and service to the community. For the address. Presi- dent Heald has secured Mr. AL berl W. Hawkers, president of the United States Chamber of Com- merce and also president and chairman of the board of Congo- leum—Nairn, Inc. of Kearney, New Jersey. Mr. Hawkes com; blues a native wit with a deep- seated appreciation of values so that his talk on this occasion pro— mises to be most interesting as well as informative. A word of caution to the gradu— ates was voiced by Dean Peebles regarding the admission of guests. Inasmuch as there are a limited number of seats and the size of the class is exceptionally large, it is necessary to limit admission to ticket—holders only. It would do well for graduates to determine before hand the number of invita- tions needed in order that neither Uncle Joe nor Aunt Minnie will be disappointed. TECHNOLQGY NE‘WS Tau hero iii Elects @rcscun Wrosidont Tau Beta Pi, Armour’s oldest and most distinguished honorary fraternity, recently held its elec‘ tion of oliicers who will guide the affairs of the organization next year. Membership in Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering from ternity, is one of the most out- standing recognitions which an undergraduate or practicing en- gineer may attain. Retiring president, Robert J. Mead, chemical, presided at the election of officers. . Elected to the important office of president for next year was George Orescan, junior chemical. Assisting him will be Gus Staats, electrical, as vice president; Earle G. Huxhold, civil, as recording sec- retary; Charles L Ball, civil, as cor- responding secretary; and Robert J. Creagan, fireprotcct, as data longer. Faculty member Professor Myril B. Reed is the organization’s treasurer. iE’WiS Siblil—iil‘l's SEE “THE Cll‘f" Through the joint efforts of the political science and social science departments at Lewis, a sound film. “The City,” was shown last Thursday morning at 9:30 in the Lewis auditorium. From the pictorial point of view the film was very suggestive in its dealing with social problems and maladjustmenta which have mani- fested themselves as a result of the phenomena of urbanization. Typical city life, as well as facil- ities which are available to the in» bailouts" were illustrated in the film. The running comments which accompanied the picture were pro- vided by Lewis Mumford, a so- ciologist famous for his book of several years ago, “Culture of Cities." The film has attracted wide attention. and has been shown be- fore various societies and associa- tions dealing with political and social changes which arise as city life becomes more and more prob- lematic. To see this film is to be made more mindful of conditions, and to he inspired with possible improvements for a more decent pattern of associated living in the modern city. baritone now Elmo crlrvnaocrnu won Mr. Robert Stein was the speak or at the bi-Weekly meeting of the chemistry seminar held last Wednesday, May 14. The subject for the occasion was the catalytic dehydration and dehydrogenation of benzyi alcohol. By passing benzyl ether vapor over mixed aluminum and chrom~ inm. catalyst, and varying the com. position of the catalyst, tempera— ture, and pressure, it is possible to get selectively either distilled stil- bene or anchrocene or henzyl eth- er. Discussion of the above men- tioned process was the text of the talk presented by Mr. Stein. This research is being done toward a masters degree by Mr. Stein. The work is being accomplished under the direction of Dr. V. I. Komar- ewsky. trwn curl-loav— snort acetates Norman Kharasch and Helen S.

Musical club members will be fed in real style in the Continental Room at the hotel shortly after 5 p.111. Following the meal will be the election of olilccrs for next year. Then the notemen will move into the Grand Ballroom to give the Armour Alumni Association a bit of dinner music. Past years have shown that the class of ’15 is able to give the glee club keen competition. This engagement follows close upon the club’s success in pre- senting last Friday’s concert at the Lewis Auditorium. All three groups collaborated to make the morning a musical one. Notable features of the program were Robert Hlemman’s rendition of “The Road to Mandalay,” and “Spring Song" and “Lilac Time," sung by the Lewis girls’ chorus. In token of work well done in, such concerts, Pi Nu Epsilon add- ed nine members to its active list last Wednesday evening at the Auditorium Hotel. They are Wayne Ault, Emil Dclioo, Don- ald Ely, William C. Laube, Jr., Arthur Marks, Jr., George Ray- mond. Richard Stoncham, Her- man Tachau, and James Walker. A banquet followed the ceremony. CIVILIAN PILOT TRAINING Summer Session The question of a class in Priv mary Flight Training, under the Civil Aeronautics Authori» ty, for the summer is not yet settled. The probabilities are that there will be such a class. Blank applications for the training may be obtained at the office of the Registrar. Applica- tions; will also be received for the S e c o n d a r y (Advanced) Course. Action of Armour Col- lege of Engineering in applying for a quota for primary flight training will be determined by the number of applications re- ccived. Grads Assured 0i” Good Time To those who have. attended the annual alumni banquet in years past will come happy memories of the few hours association with classmates, professors and friends that the occasion provides. Another alumni banquet is in the offing with better program, a livelier evening, and new features. Never will you have a better time to again meet the old gang you went to school with. The Annual Alumni Banquet will be held at the Knickerbocker Hotel at 163 East Walton place. It will take place on Tuesday, May 2'7, at 6 pm. if you make your reservation now, you will be able to enjoy the following: A menu that includes in rapid order; shrimp cocktail, chicken broth, celery, and olives, sizzling fllct miguon with french fried onions, fancy potatoes, new peas, special salad, toasted waf» ers, and frozen ll‘rench pastry with coffee. With this start you will be ready to hear a nationally pro- minent speaker who will expound upon a current topic along with a very short report of recent af- fairs at the Institute and in the alumni association. In addition to all this will he the undergraduate Glee Club and the Institute Orv chestra to bring you unto-date on the songs the current group of engineers are singing. Then you will be surprised to learn that at no time. during the evening will you be expected to have anything but a good time. There will be no solicitation of funds, no collection of dues (unless you wish to pay them), no tipping, for the one cost is two bucks- Don’t miss this big Alumni Ban- quot. iii mw-WW~ to Election of officers for the com- ing year will take place at the Alpha Lambda Pi meeting tomor» row night. The meeting will take place in the Art room of Lewis institute at 8 pm. (ill b flit inst Engineers miracle garcons wigiiay hound 2% Mann picture For a long time, Armour stu- dents have been put to shame by their folks. it seems that there is a trick to putting up pictures. The major difficulty is in putting the nail in the wall. Well, with the new method, all this trouble will be avoided. Under the new sys- tem, the most important item to have, is “Eleman’s Cement Mix- ing” book. On the cover of this book are two pictures. The first picture shows a young, unshaved man lying exhausted on the side walk, and beside him is an un- mixed pile of cement. Below the picture is a caption reading, “He doesn’t know how to mix cement.” in the other picture stands a smiling young man dressed in top hat. white tie, and tails, with a cement mixing book in his hand. He is calling to his friend, “Come and see me mix it.” On the first page are the basic instructions. They are as follows: in order to mix cement, one must first get some sand, it pail of water, some cement, and a small coke. Upon receiving five dollars, we will send you ll) cents worth of the best sand we can find, tell where you can get some water and cement absolutely free, if you are willing to pay the shipping cost, the government tax, the state tax, the sales tax, and the defense tax (and the bookstore’s 90%) which will amount to $125.03. A mixer can be made from any stick or board, or can be bought from a lumber yard for three dol- lars, if they see you coming. l-Iav— ing how both cement and mixer, follow these directions: (A) Grasp mixer in both hands. (B) Utilize muscles in arms so the mixer is lifted several feet above the cement. (C) Let fall. Lesson ll. Repeat Lesson I. Lesson Ill. Repeat Lesson II. Lesson IV. Repeal, Lesson III. Now that the cement is made, we are ready to put up a picture, engineer style. First blow a hole in the hole. T'hen fill the hole with cement, and just before the cement hardens, push a nail into it. Then all that has to be done is to hang the picture on the wall. Simple, No? :
