Last Fri. day, March 7, the Armour fresh- man class met to form a well or~ ganized class under the leader- ship of their president, Harry Any derson. Introduction of the freshman class officers was the main reason for the meeting. Each officer upon being presented explained his duties and what was being done along those lines. Outlined plans for the freshman dance, work of the social chairman, were pre- sented. ’l‘he freshman dance is to be held at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. Dancing, informally, will be done to the music of Jack Ros. sell’s orchestra. The committees in charge, both at Lewis and Ar- mour, have high hopes of making their (lance a stupendous start for the class of ’44. Enclose Heads Rush Committee Also, plans for Junior Week have commenced to the degree that a committee of strategy has been formed with Ulysses Backers at the head. On Saint Patrick’s day. it is hoped that all freshman will buy green hats, as the custom has been, so that the class of ’44: will learn to know each other and will be able to organize enough to give the sohpomores a good lich- ing during Junior Week. Junior Week is May 640. So freshmen, talk it up and get organised, cause if you don’t .. ? Officers of the Armour freshmen class that spoke at the meeting are: president, Harry Anderson; vice-president, Robert Lamons; treasurer, William Dunlap; score tary, Robert Howard; Social chair- man, Michael Coccla; LTSA. rep- resentative, Donald Maihok, anti member of the Student Union Board, Charles Prizer. illusion Engineer Estates lhlillliiltttihihtliill fly ifll‘iyi‘ill @eci“W‘lliblt Because of the increasing need for engineers in national defense work, the United States Civil Serv. ice commission has again an- nounced an examination to fill junior engineer positions in any branch of engineering. The starting salary for these positions is $2000 a year minus a three and one half percent re- tirement fund deduction. The up lications will now be rated as re. ceived at the Commission’s office in Washington until December 31, 1941. Qualified persons who do not have eligible ratings under pre vious junior engineer examina tions held by the Commissions within the past year, are urged to file their applications at once. Appointees will perform pro- fessional engineering work includ- ing assisting in experimental re- search, design or testing of mach- inery, and testing and inspection of engineering materials. To be eligible for competition the appointee must have complet— ed a four year engineering course, with the exception that senior stu- dents will be admitted under cer- tain conditions. They will not have to take a written test. In- stead the applicants will be rated on their education and will be givA on additional credit for graduate study in engineering or for en— gineering experience. Further information and appli- cation forms may be obtained from the secretary of the Board of U. S. Civil Service Examiners at any first or second class post office, or from the US. Civil Serv- ice Commission, Washington, DC. i ll ACQUIRES STEAM TURBINE FOR MECH DEPT. Through Lhe good graces of the Pyle National Company, Armour has acquired a new super steam turbine. This was made possible by a permanent. loan from the company. This single-wheel tur- bine with two stage expansion contains two of the most modern instruments now in existence: the new Weston temperature gauge, which operates on the principle of the bimetallic helical coil, and the Frahm vibrating-reed tachometer. The generator is composed of a number of resistances in parallel controlled by a panel switch board. This turbine was installed last week and is now ready for testing. New Course for Seniors The course in which this tur- bine will be used will cover lif- teen weelts of lectures to be given. by Dr. Yellot and Trumplcr. The students will be able to perform a complete test on the turbine in one afternoon. This; course is to be added to the regular curricu~ lum for senior mechanicals.

The movies treated a phase of the oil industry which concerns the lubri~ cation of moving, mechanical parts and those uses of oils which interest mechanical engineers. An announcement of a smoker which is to be held on Friday, April Al, from 8 to 12 13.111. in the lounge ol‘ the Student Union was made. Tickets for the smoker are now available at the price of forty- five cents each. Movies, refresh- ments, musical entertainment and an interesting speech are on the program for the evening. Prof. Roesch made a brief speech concerning the forthcom- ing A.S.M.E. convention at De- troit. He urged the members of the society to prepare speeches dealing with general mechanical problems, the best of which would he entered in competition at the convention. floodrnon finneert filives Eucelleni ifilpporiunll‘y "limo filluclouis it‘ll: Ilfllf (Continued from.

The orchestra theu counters with the furious “Russian Sailors’ Dance." and [continues with two other brilliant selections. in partial contrast, then, the glee club offers a melodiously calm selection, which is followed by a baritone solo on a universal Robert He no main favorite, ”lite Road to Mandalay." Both organizations combine trl‘ umphanlly to conclude the first hall with the beautiful “Lost Chord.” A trio of surprises follows the second curtain in three Russian Roy Hrubes numbers by the glee club.

Then comes a brilliant violin solo, and the interesting “Southern Suite.” RENTAL LIBRARY l5 PLANNED FOR CULTURE SEEKERS ' .111 an attempt to satisfy a rapid,» ly growing demand for the latest and most popular novels, biogra- phies, and light scientific books, Miss Nell Steele, head of the Ar- mour Library, has tentatively sug~ gested a scheme for a new rental collection. Books for Varied Tastes While the Armour Library is necessarily a specialized library, ”its policy has always been to pur« chase a generous selection of mod— ern fiction and titles in travel, biography, etc. The purchase of duplicate copies in sulficient mun- bers to supply all immediate do mantle has. however, been found impossible. It seems that the tastes of Armour students for the “six best” have been in no way dulled by their steady diet of heavy technical reading. Often the reserve lists on some books are so long that It means waiting months for them. Therefore, asks Miss Steele of the students. “Are you interested enough in new books while they are new to support a rental colleo lion in the library?” in considering a rental colleo lion, Miss Steele explained that it is in no way designed to replace the present policy of purchasing books for so caller “cultu ‘al and lecreational reading." if it is pre- ferred by the student to wait for the library copy, instead of se- curing it immediately for a small fee, he may still do so. Acquire New Books it is planned that as soon as a book has been paid for in rental fees it will be transferred to the general library collection, from which it may be obtained without cost. This problem of stretching budgets to purchase the latest works at s time when the reader wants them is a familiar one to all libraries. The proposed solu- tion for the Armour library has for years been successfully prac- ticed in the largest libraries in tho country. Those who are willing to pay a small fee and have a book sooner will find a box on the Library desk where may be left not only com- ments on the rental plan but sug- gestions as to books of immediate interest. The library does not pro- pose to purchase any thing and every thing for rental, but the stu- dent's preferences will color the selection. couriers tune or Mochenlcul brewing hilllPlslhli SEW more 3533 “to $303 @reenwoeels hoolt givers @953 W. lvlfitlhlgwhll SEELEY 34-53 “Our 26th Year” In The Lewis Institute Building Mlhlllfllill El, will WW chestnuts settles .Iuro illustrates or ulcsosoors Electrons hurtling t h r o u g in space at a velocity of 18,000 it. per second is the subject ofstucly of Dr. Copeland and his electronic classes The electron microscope being developed by Dr. Copeland utilizes these electrons for the study of their behavior in electro- static fields. The electron microscope con- sists mainly of three parts; a vac. uum producing mechanism. a large size voltmeter, and a long sectioned glass tube. The vacuum is essential as the speed of the electrons will be effected by it. One out of 10,000,000 molecules of. air is left in the tube before the filament is heated at one end. Residual air will become ionized and have a, licensing effect on the fluorescent screen at the other end of the tube. Metal plates are placed between the sections of glass and, a poten~ tial dillcrence is set up across these plates. This potential dif- ference causes the electrons being produced by thermionic emission to move through the tube at a rapidly increasingly rate. As the electrons strike the fluorescent screen the image is produced. By this method 2,500 volts is the greatest potential attainable with this apparatus, as it is still in the experimental stage. An instrument of this type, will be effective in studying biological substances. More thorough study of cancer tissues and tissues in- fected with other diseases will be made by the use of this ml» croscopc. The number of lines which distort the image on a television screen will be decreased by the aid of the experimentation being carried on with the electron microscope. Dr. Copeland, a well known physicist on the faculty at l.I.'l.‘., believes that the electron micro- scope will eventually be filed ex- tensively throughout the field of biological science and in the rap- idly growing industry of televi- sion.
