Victim of continued overwork.
armour colleges Dean Tibbals is
telling a longdeferred and Well-
earned vacation which will prob-
ably last the remainder of the
semester.

Since coming to Armour as an
instructor in chemistry nearly
thirty—five years ago, rest has not
been a familiar experience to
Dean ‘T‘ibhais. lie has held numer-
ous academic and administrative
poaiiionsa. ills versatility and vi-
gor made the scope of his activi—
ties large. When he assumed the
duties of dean, he stocked the
shelves of his office with his vast
store of patience, understanding,
and good will. Students in trouble
have always found him friendly
and ready on help. President Heaid
summed up the whole school’s
feelings last week when he said,
“The temporary loss of Dean Tib~
bale is something we all feel keen-
ly.”

Pecbles dieting Dean

Dr. 'i‘ibbals’ leave of absence has
left a gap which has been hard to
fill. Professor .l. C. Peebles will as-
sume the duties of the dean’s
office and the title of acting dean.
This has required some adjust-
ment of time in Professor Peebles’
work with the Research Founda-
tion. This timevjuggling was made
possible through the cooperation
of Mr. "Vagtborg, the Foundation’s
director. Since Professor Peebles‘
time is so limited, Mrs. Orcutt has
volunteered to devote several
hours each week to the solution
of student problems brought to
the dean’s office.

There can be no doubt that the
whole school joins with President
Heaid in wishing Dean Tibbals a
speedy recovery.

Spring in here, and with it the
first dance of the present season.
in the spring a young man’s; fancy
lightly turns to w well, besides
thatmriancing. ’I‘hc Gamma Rlio’s
had this in mind when they made
plans for their dance-“The Spring
Thing, .

They are pioneering an entirely
new idea in college dances—cm
which features a sparkling floor
show. There have been new songs
written especially for the Show,
and old ones have been “swung
up" by clever rearranging. Sev-
eral talented acts have been origi-
nated. The dance is scheduled for
March fill, at the Mount Prospect
Country Club. The country club
is in a rustic setting of spacious
ground, with a beautiful patio and
terrace on which you may walk
with your “lady love.” (The scene,
by the way, of all the past Gamma
Rho successes).

Howl-Formal Chosen

It is to be a semi-formal affair-—
that’s what the gals like, you
know. Roy Benson is to furnish
the syncs-potion. Arrangements
have been made for food and re:
freshments, with ample table and
seating facilities. The Committee
consisting of Jack Perkins, Bob
Meyer. John Knapp and Al Falk-
man has been working; since last
November and they haven’t left
a thing undone to make it a com-
plete success. Best of all, boys,
this dance is to cost you only
$1.50 a bid, which makes it one of
the most reasonable dances of the
year. You can obtain bids at
either school—at Armour from
Wally Werneck, Erwin Powell,
Fred DeMuth, Warren Kuehl, and
Fred De Money; at Lewis, from
any fraternity or sorority member.

Sam Campbell, the famous no:
turallst and philosopher, will re-
turn to Armour College to give a
“lravcilesson” Friday the 14th of
March at l0:10. The W. S. E.
will sponsor this general assembly
when Mr. Campbell will talk. on
"On Your Way to San Francisco.”

lirmouritcs Enjoy Campbell

Last year Mr. Campbell prc~
sented his color movies to a very
large group of students, and he
was received with such enthusi-
asm that a return engagement has
been arranged. One of the scenes,
shown at that time, showed a de-
licious technicolor-ed steak sizzling
over a camp fire. it was so real«
letlc that the hungry audience
moaned in agony.

Mr. Campbell is a well known
writer and lecturer, and his fa-
mous motion pictures serve to il-
lustrate his theory that Wild
animals will become tame if they
are treated kindly. After attend-
ing the University of Chicago the
naturalist opent the greater part
of the past 30 years in the forests
of Northern Wisconsin, where he
has established the nationally
known‘fianctuary of Wegimintl."
in this territory, near the Three
Lakes, Mr. Campbell has taken
most. of his beautiful nature
movies. This; sanctuary is one of
the new private preserves to fos-
ter the conservation of wild ani-
mal-life in the United States.

Among the several books pub
lished by the lecturer are: “(Zon-
qucst of Grief,” “Sanctuary Let-
ters,” and “Nature’s Message of
Peace.” For over three years he
has been participating in a radio
program featuring nature talks.
It is expected that his talk will
again attract a capacity audience.

In his own informal and inter-

his observations on the reasons

Entering Field

Bang! The gun sounds for the
start. of the first race in the Thin
ieenth Annual Illinois Tech Re-
lays to be held this Saturday,
March 15, 1941 at the University
of Chicago Fieldhouse. About thir-
ty-llve teams featuring over four
hundred topnotch athletes will vie
for medals and cups in the mid—
wcsl;’s outstanding track and field
classic.

Formerly known as the Armour
'l‘ech Relays, and renamed after
the merger of Armour Institute of
Technology and Lewis Institute
last summer, the relay games will
reach new heights; this week.
Many defending champs return to
compete with sparkling newcom-
ers in an attempt to erase the old
records and mark up brilliant perv
rormancen. Preliminary events are
scheduler] for the afternoon, with
the final cm‘npetitlon beginning at
7 o'clock in the evening. Charac-
teristically known as the only hold
dlc‘western meet in which col-
leges and universities can com~
pole in separate uectlons without
the killing competition of an open
meet, the Illinois Tech Relays all
ford the small college with. top
flight talent competition.

’l'cam Entries Classified

According to John Schommer,
all team entries are classified in~
to two separate and distinct di-
visions according to the rating of
the school and the competition in
which it customarily engages. The
smaller schools are placed in the
college division, while such
schools as Northweatern, Kansas,
and Illinois are placed in the Uni~
versity division. No university
contestant may compete in the col-
lege division, while a college divi~
sion athlete, having exceptional
ability, may compete with the
better talent in the university di-
vision. At the same time, several.
events, including the field events,
the mile run and the half mile
run are declared open events, in
which all entries, irrespective of
classification, may compete.

The games are under the direc-
tion of John Schommcr, famous
athletic official and Tech athletic
