JAN UAR"! 20, 35342 With twentycight editions of Technology News under its belt, the present staff is going to bat for the last time with mingled feelings of sadness and relief. This journalistic business gets in the blood. Yep, it’s great stuff! But from here on, we give the business to a new and, we think competent, group, while we old birds sit back and take it easy. A time like this is a good one for reminiscing. During the past year a great many important events have occurred that have been our job to report and comment upon. Some of these events may in the future be considered as vital, in the history of Illinois Tech, In the pages of the last year’s issues of Technology News are recorded the beginning and growth of the EDT program here; the founding of our $1,000,000 Gas institute; the phenomenal student lunchroom uprising; the inaug- uration of the Co-op Book Club; the announcement of definite building programs for 1942; the holding of the first alloschool dance ever thrown here in a really big way; the new war acceleration program; and now, in this issue, the announcement of the new Chemical Co-op program. Never before, per- haps, has any new stall" at either Armour, Lewis, or Illinois Tech, had the privilege of covering so many real news flashes. In our editorial columns we have endeavored to write in as honest and unbiased a fashion as pos- sible. If we were at times severely critical, it was because we were zealous for the elimination of flaws that might hinder the progress of Illinois Tech. And we feel no little pride in the realization that not only is Illinois Tech big enough to accept criticism but flexible in attempting approvement. As for Technology News itself, we have enjoyed continuing and improving a make-up and style which is sufficiently modern and streamlined that other college papers have seen fit to copy. That there are sufficient flaws in our system to keep the next stall", and many other new staffs, busy in improvement we are also humbly aware. We TECHNOLOGY NEWS » Limo wish to thank the many interested students and faculty who have given so many helpful Cl'll.l(ilslTlS ol‘ the paper. ‘ Looking ahead, we are of the opinion that the future of Technology News appears very interest- ing. If Illinois Tech adopts a summer term, it is possible that for the first time our paper will be published in the summer. And as the school on pands with the building of its new campus, it ap pears very likely that the Tech News will become a daily. Nor is it improbable, with the night school as big as it is, that eventually a night school sup- plement or, perhaps, a complete night school edition may be adopted. All these things are, of course, in the dream-stage. But, the handwriting is on the wall . . . Illinois Tech is growing in leaps and bounds, and with it will grow Technology News. And, with our best wishes, we hand this future of Technology News-«lock, stock and barrel-mover to a fresh group of industrious students, the ap- pointment of whom will be announced next week. Ah! l—low refreshing it will be to read Technology News every Tuesday morning without knowing beforehand.,what will be in it. What a thrill to be able to look every man, woman, and child, in the face and say, “We didn‘t do it!” Aha! Yes, indeed, chillun, we exit laughing. WW STUDEN?‘ HEALTH PLAN No student health plan this semester? Yes, that’s right—mo health plan. Why? We run out of time; didn't get around to seeing all the people we should have seen. But alas! Perhaps it‘s for the best. Now we can conduct a very thorough investigation of the Civic Medical Center. Now we can prove to those that are skeptical that it’s really true you get all that's promised. At the next meeting of the ITSA, a committee of student and administration representatives will be appointed to conduct a thorough investigation of the plan. This probe will probably take several weeks and if the plan is found acceptable, it will be submitted to the student body for a vote of approval. The investigations will check on the following details: 1. The rcpulability oi" the Staff. 2. The financial details of the plan. 3. rl‘he equipment and hospital used by the Med. ical Center. 4. Determine exactly how comprehensive the plan will be. Not mentioned in last week’s article was the establishment of a clinic on the campus, or near the campus if there it; no space available, for the convenience of the students. This will be staffed by a doctor, and for the first several weeks of a semester a laboratory technician to take samples for analysis at the downtown laboratory. The student body will receive detailed informa- tion from the committee whenever such reports are received. Several faculty men, who are mem- bers of the plan at thrice the price it is ollcrcd to us, speak very highly of the plan, stall and equip- ment. Before the plan is brought to vote, the students will have complete assurance, that it is reliable and worthwhile. coca mausrwaféonmu A. complete course in industrial engineering is now available to cooperative students in addition to the established mechanical engineering course, it was announced by L. J. Lease of the (Jo—operative Office. The first classes in the course are to begin about June. At the present time, positions are being secured for students planning to enroll in the course. Industrial engineering answers a new and in- creasing demand of industry for a different type of engineer. The industrial engineer is taught the basic groundwork of engineering, but (instead of specialized training in the present fields of en- gineering, as Power Flam Design) the engineer gets his training in production planning, cost analysis, material control, manufacturing methods, time and motion study, marketing, accounting, etc. This type of engineering has to do with the handling of human beings rather than the engin- eering of materials. Engineers make good manag- ers because they have been trained to think straight and they understand the manufacturing processes. The plan, as adopted now, would be a regular five-year coorse. The tuition for the five years would average $240 per year. Fees and text hooks would involve an additional expense of about $75 per year. The tuition of $120, plus the fees, is payable at the beginning of each semester. The students are paid at the regular wagerate for the kind of work done for the time they are at work, not for the time they are in college. Stu. dents are not permitted to change industrial post tionswithout the knowledge and consent of the coordinator. Scholastic requirements for the cooperative course are the same as for the Instilute’s regular four-year courses. Also, a student must have main talned a scholastic standing within the upper 25 per cent of his high school graduating class. A student must have had, in high school, three se~ mesters of algebra, three of geometry, two of phys lcs, and two of chemistry. ' W JANUARY fall, 1042 ll‘l“ cessation scintillation tubules in statesman orient society rumination Job {finances Good For Senior Class January has been a busy month for the placement office. A great many interviews have taken place, although few definite decisions were made. A mose encouraging note is the almost unanimous opinion of the interviewers that the present senior class is one of especially high merit. As many interviews as possible have been, postponed until after examina- tions. Many Interviews Representatives of. the following companies have visited the An mcur campus: Swift 8.: Co., the American l..ocomotive Company, the Carnegie—Illinois Steel 00., the Teletype Corporation, the National Advisory Committee for Aero- nautics, the Bendix Corporation of South Bend, the General Elec- tric Company, Curtiss-Wright from New York, Standard Oil, Westinghouse, Phillips Petroleum, the International Harvester Com- pany. and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Outstanding among these was the General Electric Company who interviewed all Mechanicals and Electricals, and who left. twen- lylwo offers. BARNEE OF lOWA u. saves mouou sruov DlSCOURSE AT LEWIS Dr. Ralph M. Barnes, professor of Industrial Engineering at the Univ. of Iowa, will give a lecture on “Motion Study Research,” on Wednesday, January 28, at 7:30 pm. in the Lewis Auditorium. Dr. Barnes is well known to the engineers for his: work not only in time and motion study, but for his work in industrial en~ ginecrlng and management as ‘well. This lecture has been ar— ranged by Mr. James S. Perkins, supervisor of time and motion study courses; in the Engineering, Science, and Management Train. ing program at UT. On Monday, January 10, 300 mu dents were added to the ESMDT program. Their course of study will continue until Saturday, April H, at which time they ‘wlll be clasped as Under Inspectors in the Ordnance Department, and subject to reclassification as Junior 0rd: nance inspectors. ALLlSGN ARRANGES F05? SELLING aortas llT’s treasurer, George A. Alli- son, is setting up machinery to distribute defense bonds for the convenience of the faculty, em- ployees and students at the cash— ier’s offices of both campuses. Bonds and stamps should then be purchased through the school so that 111‘ can make a good contri- bution towards the fight for vic~ tory. Coop Coursew (continued from page one) izes in production planning, cost analysis, material control, time and motion study, marketing, and accounting. The students are paid at the regular wage rate for the type of work done with their company. The great advantage of the co-op courses is that they give an op. portunity to study practical appli- cations in industry of the tech- nical theory of the classroom. 2400 Research Proiocls In Last Five Years “Industrial Research Progress at Armour Research Foundation” is the title of an article appearing in the December issue of the News Edition of the American Chemical Society, The article noted that in the five years that the foundation has been in existence a total of 143 long—term research projects have been undertaken. The num- ber of short-term investigations initiated new number about 2300. All this work has been done for a total of 1050 companies, individ~ male, and other agencies, who have availed themselves of the services and facilities of the Foundation. The unusual success enjoyed by the foundation may be credited to their method of research, which constitutes the Armour Research Plan. Under this plan, which at present is very unique in the field of research, the responsibility for a project is given to the {condo} tion as a whole, which then as“ signs qualified, men to the job. This system provides for those persons engaged in research the benefits of all. the facilities of the Foundation, including equipment and the knowledge of qualified men in many diversified fields. Another feature of the plan con- sists of periodic meetings in which all the men engaged in research get together and discuss any prob- lems with which they may be having any difficulty, The effec— tiveness of the idea may be illus- trated by the following: One of the Foundation’s men was having difficulty in trying to find a new, more oilectlve method for mixing the components of chewing gum. During one of the periodic dis cussions a metallurgist suggested. freezing and pulverlzing the indi- vidual components, and then mix~ ing them, and a new industrial process was born. The Research Foundation has now added the new experimental engineering building to its facili- ties, and is now building a metal- lurgical research building, which is expected to be in full operation by March of 104-2. In addition, sixteen new laboratories have been added, including ceramics, airflow, stress analysis, and Diesel laboratories. Travel Film Shown Faculty Womens’ Club At Party in Union Julia Beveridge Scholarship Party, sponsored by the Faculty Women’s Club, was held Satur- day, January 17, at 7:00 pm. in the Student Union. Professor Henry F. Dutton, Dean of the Evening division, contributed his part to the entertainment by showing some of his travel pic. tures During the course of the evening all persons attending had the opportunity to partake in any of the games that had been plan- ned, play cards or bunco, or dance in the lounge. An Afghan quilt, main and pre- sented by the Welfare Scrvlp. Group, was ruffled. The prooeecs from this raffle were placed in the Julia Beveridge Fund which pro— vides scholarships for either Ar- mour or Lewis students. At the monthly meeting of the Literary Forum of the Faculty Women’s Club on January 29, Miss Mollie Cohen, member of the language and literature depart ment, will speak on Tangore, Hin- du Poet and Philosopher. This meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Henry T. l—leald.
