HUNTLY DABBLES lN RIVERSIDE POLIHCS News has reached the office of the Technology News concerning a startling political development soon to take place in Riverside, lllinois. From a source usually considered reliable your corres- pondent has learned of a forth- coming seizure of the local gov. ernment by one Phil Huntly, di- rector of the department of civil engineering at Illinois Tech. At an election to be held next week Professor Huntly is slated to as- sume control of Riverside govern- mental affairs. An unknown series of circumstances has caused the disappearance of the opposition party in Riverside, and as a result the ballot in next week’s election will contain only the name Huntly under the heading of Candidate for Mayor. This means that Pro- fessor I—Iuntly is certain of elec- tion unless Riverside has a coa- lition of all voters who make it a practice to vote for Charlie Mc. Carthy, Gracie Allen, or Mickey Mouse in every election. The source of this information, who has requested that his name be withheld until he has handed in his late reports in CE. 320, stated (continued on page three) Z143 Year Scholarships At Lewis To Be Given Ten In May 'l‘en scholarships for complete tuition for one year are being aw- arded by the Lewis division to students of high-school, public or private; and to junior college stu— dents in the Chicago area.

EKPLOSWES IS NEW COURSE FOR EDT Upon the inception of the Na- tional Uefense program in Novem- ber, lull), ll’I‘ answered by quick- ly setting up its Engineering De- fense Training program. Within 3 weeks. 5,000 applicants were in- terviewed and 1,500 were assigned to the original courses. The demand for engineers has become so great that “IT has been authorized by the United States Office of Education to organize a second EDT. program similar to the first one. The purpose of the program is to provide training in specific technical subjects in order to raise the efficiency of the engineering personnel of the Chicago area. No tuition is charged since the costs of the training are met by the Federal Government. A study of explosives is one of the 21 courses to be given under the second program. The purpose of this course is to provide train- ing in the chemistry of explosives. No laboratory work will be re- quired, The major part of the course will consist of the classi- fication of chemical properties, manufacturing, analysis, testing, and use of explosive materials and their raw supply. The course will get underway on April 28, 1941. Realizing that there is a great shortage of personnel in the ex- plosives industry many men have applied for the training. Of these fifty men have been accepted.
