Technology.

The purpose of the Power Con

mission, or consumption to meet
together annually for the study
of mutual problems. Invitations
are extended to all persons inter-

Mini; Kathryn .ludkins, coordin-
ator of the now cooperative cours-
es in i'lllSlHGHH administration and
management at Lewis Institute,
announced, recently that the sec
and section of the class will be»
em on March 31.

The eighteen students who have
just completed their first two
month period in school will spend
the next eight weeks at positions
in business or industry. They will
all be employed at wages that will
enable them to pay their school
erpenscs and supply some extra
money for incidentals.

3.8. llem'oc Given

At the end of five years, the stu-
dents are graduated from the
course with the degree of bache-
lor of science in business admin‘
istration and industrial manage-
ment. This puts them well on their
way to positions as junior execu-
lives.

Each school year is divided into
six periods of eight weeks. The
students alternate hetween work
and school every two months. For
the first period, the student takes
fundamental courses in science,
economics, salesmanship, purchas-
ing, marketing, advertising, office
management and other related
fields.

All Junior Mechanicals who
intend to run for the office of
junior marshal must have their
petitions in the hands of Robert
Arko by tomorrow. Each peti-
tion must contain at least 10
signatures. The election will be
held Friday morning in the
Student Union lobby.

Unlucky thirteen it was to some, but to others it was the opposite.
Thus, the Thirteenth Annual Illinois Tech Relays went down in the

in order to fill the demand for
technical men in the present criuis,
Illinois Tech may accelerate its
courses to provide swiftor gradua-
tion for engineering students. It
is: obvious that such a demand ex-
hits; in fact, positions will probab»
ly be open shortly for 40 to 50
thousand graduate e n {:1 n e o r 5,
while the schools of the country
will have provided only 12 to 15
thousand. Both the Society for the
Promotion of Engineering Educa-
tion and the. government’s Adviu
sory Committee on Engineering
Defense 'l“raining have studied the
situation and reported on it.

This acceleration is one possible
solution. Under this system, the
present juniors would be sched»
uled for classes during the sum-
mer in order to he graduated next
ll‘obruary. This would result in
about 25% more graduates for
each four-year period. The change
would only ail'ect juniors because
the seniors would be out of school
before the system would have
gone into effect.

the load carried by a freshman or
sophomore student is already a
heavy one for his state of adjust-
ment to college work.

President Henry 'I‘. Heald, after
considering the plan, stated sov-
cral of its faults. The program
would require some form of gov-
ernment financial aid; otherwise it

ty of Chicago field house last Sat
urday night and in the course of
the evening saw three new reo-
ords established.

By taking first place in the col~
loge division, Michigan Normal of
Ypsilanti became the first school
in the thirteen years of the Illi-
nois Tech Relays to win the meet
four times. To make the record
even more remarkable the Teach-
ers have won the meet in their
division for the last three years.
Normal amassed a total of 55 5/6
points to lend its nearest compo»
titlon, De Kalb by twenty two
points. Normal also won in 1934.

Littler Sloth Marl:

Michigan Normal’e victory was;
only overshadowed by Gene Lita
tlcr of Nebraska and. by one of
Normal’s own lads Don Sommor—
field both of whom won two
events in the evening's activities.
Littler set a new Tech Relays roe
0rd in the 440 as he breezed
through the distance and came in
forty yards ahead of his nearest
rival, Zolin of Wisconsin, to film
ish in 09.3 which topped the old
record, set by Wagner of North
Central. by one tenth of a second.
In the 70-yard dash Littler was alu
so expected to do wonderful
things but due to a slow start he
finished in 207.3, two-tenths of a
second above his own record of
:07], which he shares with four
other former relay competitors.

Don Sommerfleld was king of
the college hurdle division as he
finished first in both the high and
low fields. Both times he was
about even all the way but in the
final sprint for the tape, nosed out
his rivals.

Although no official count was
made for the schools in the uni-
versity division, Wisconsin was
unofficial winner with forty four
points. lllinois finished second and
Marquette, winner in this divi~
slon for the past two years, finish
ed a hair behind the lllint for a
third.

Michigan Normal started the
ball rolling by capping the two
mile relay in the first event of
the meet held in the afternoon.
