Russell’s Rhythm
Tops Card

“More room for dancing” has
been, the cry of HT dancers and
finally a social committee has an-
swered the call. The class of ’44
selected the Crystal Ball Room
with the primary purpose of pr -
virilng more than ample room for
the three hundred and fifty cou—
ples expected. Style and class
have not been sacrificed for size
alone however, since the Cmgstal
Ball Room is the smartest room
for dancing in the Edgewater
Beach Hotel, which for years has
been among the very best of Chi-
cago’s Hotels.

Indirect lighting and modem-
istlc furniture blend the ultra
smooth atmosphere of this law
mous Chicago social rendcvous.
Located on the near north Side on
Sheridan Road it is eacily emcee
sible, with ample parking facili-
ties on hand.

{inch Russell to Play

To top the card of entertain—
ment the freshman class; has Scl-
ected Jack \Russell to play for
their initial social affair. Rticseli’c
orcheetm hall a long list of he
pressive engagements at oututund'

National defense has claimed
Professor Arthur W. Sear, well-
known member of our faculty.
Professor Scar is entering the
Bridgeport, Connecticut, plant of
the General Electric company to
do research. and development
work in radio and television. Dc-
velopment of improved equipment
for the Signal Corps of the army
is the main pquOSO of this work.

Research Work Continued

Professor Sear will continue, at
the General Electric company, his
work in the development of spe‘
cial controls using electronic de-
vices, for“ one of the major indus~
tries in the United States. Other
recent accomplishments of Pro-
fessor Seal“ include the construe
tion of a beat-frequency oscillator
for the Homiaille-Hcrshey corpor-
ation of Detroit and the installa-
tion of a novel ventilation control
System for the Faculty club.

Varied Abilities;

Professor Sear, a graduate of the
University of Minnesota in me-
chanical engineering joined the
Armour faculty in 1925. He has
been a member of the mechanical
engineering, mathematics, physics,
and electrical engineering depart-
ments. Mechanical drawing, des-
criptive geometry, machine design,
statics and graphics, triginometry,
physic’s laboratory, physics for~
architects, and electrical engineer—
ing have also been taught by Pro-
fessor Sear.

Professor Sear keenly regrets
leaving ll’l‘ which he believes has
a brilliant future ahead, but he
expressed the feeling that in times
of national emergency one’s duty

‘to his country is foremost. His
experience as an active soldier in
France and as an engineer and
teacher should prove to be of con-
siderable value.

A new engineering fraternity
has; come into view on the Armour
campus. Formerly a Lewis; insti-

lnterfratemity council meetings,
but this semester it has been made
an official member of the council.
“We intend to participate ac—
tively,” said Vitold Edutis, necre~
tary of DLX, “and we will also
be active in the interfraternity
pageant this year.” However, they

although they plan to attend en
masse. The faculty Sponsor of
Delta Lambda Xi is Professor
Wade of the Mechanical depart-
ment.
