Hank Sllwa, captain of the ’ basketball team, is still in training at Fort Scliyiar in Washington, 13.0., but will soon return to the Chicago area where he will work with the ordnance department. Other men from the lllinois In. stitute of Technology who have completed training at Fort Schy~ lur in Washington and who‘aro now ensigns in the United States Naval Reserve are Ed Magka, Charles Bigos and Zenon Prone. Bill Krausc, (Jo-captain of ’il baseball team, has finished a course at Annapolis and is now on active duty at the Rhode 1' :land Arsenal. Amneur Mon at Milli“. 'l.‘wo lllinois boys, Ed Wloi'ring and john Sauvage, have com~ pletcd training at the Magnolia» cits Institute of Technology and are now stationed in the Was-it ington Ordnance department. After graduation last year, Ed Boarlni left Chicago to join the naval reserve in Washin man When he received his commission papers, he was posted in Joel:- sonville, Florida. Another IIT man who will be connected with the Chicago «02rd- nancc department is Dick Noise who is now in training at the University of Minnesota. Walter Rusanowski is now no ishing a course at the California Institute of Technology and as yet, has not been assigned to any certain area. Pratt and Whitney Aircraft corporation trained Ed Mailek on engine motors in East Hartford, Connecticut. Ed passed through Chicago last Thursday and paid a visit to the school while on his way to an assignment in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Last year this office found itself without an ade~ quote number of senior records. Three of the forms may be typed, while the other two must be let- tered. New forms are being made up now and seniors will be noti- fied when they are ready. No form will be accepted without a photograph attached. S e n i o r 3 should order their photographs immediately. Size 2%" X 21/2" photographs are essential. lutervic ws Beginning Early Indications are that interview- ers will Visit the campus early this year. Pratt and Whitney Air- craft corporation of East Hart- ford. Conn, has contacted IIT for information regarding the fourth year men who will graduate in February. Giddings and Lewis Machine Tool company of: Food on Lac, Wisconsin has made a similar request. The Pennsyl- vania railroad will have its chief engineer of maintenance of way on the campus late in October. Among the other companies send- ing out representatives is the Goodyear Tire and. Rubber com- pany of Akron, Ohio. Members of the placement office will appreciate it if the seniors will be prepared to complete their records, and that means having their photographs available. short- ly after ihe forms come back from the printer.

JESSE HQBSON, PLACED IN CHARGE OF ELECTRlCALS after 5 years experience in. the industrial field of electrical engi- neering Dr. Jesse E. Hohson has returned to Armour college of engineering as head 01": the electrh col engineering department. in 1936 he was an instructor in the department. of electrical en- gineering. After receiving his BS. and MS. degrees at Purdue university. Professor Hobson studied for his doctor’s degree at California institute of Technology. For the five year period prior to loll he “was associated with West— inghouse Electric. As head of the central engineering station his duties were the management of production and control of power transmission for the large district located just northwest of Chicago. Dr. W. A. Edson, previously with the Illinois Bell Telephone Laboratories, has been assigned to teach sophomore and junior courses in electrical engineering. Harvard university has had the privilege of having Dr. Sarbacher, formerly assistant professor of electrical engineering at IIT, teach a course in electronics for ‘the purpose of training men for the United States Army Signal Corps. The building of an electronics laboratory is imminent. More complete plans for the expansion of the electrical engineering cur- riculum will be announced in about a month. lLLlNOIS INETKTUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.

Twenty—seven of these awards, to the sum of $18,900, went to men engaged in graduate study, such as teaching assistants, follows or scholars. The remainder was Ruth Cowon Clause Engaged As lieocl Dr, Ruth Cowan Clause, nutri- tion expert formerly associated with the council of food and nutri~ lion of the American Medical Association, has been appointed professor of nutrition and chair‘ man of the home economics ole— partment of. UT. The home economics depart- ment has been greatly expanded to include the applied arts course and the administration of the Lewis cafeteria. lie-organization of the system formerly used in the Lewis cafe tel-la began Wednesday, October 1. Mrs. Lola Janis has been ap pointed to ellect this reorganiza- tion which is under the supervis- ion of Dr. Ruth Cowan Clause, chairman of the home economics department. Students in the home econom- ics department, especially those interested in taking courses in hospital dietetics and institutional management, will be able to re— ceive a more thorough under- standing of the problems involved in the preparation and serving of large groups. The first hand in- formation and experience gained will he a valuable source of in- formation to those home ec’ers who will enter the field of restau- rant management and hospital dictctics.

ANNGUNCEE Gil/ii) dfl‘i‘lflfll CQURSES In line with Illinois Institute’s progressive policy of expansion the graduate division has set a swift pace of building and extend- ing its own student body, cur- ricula, and staff. In fact, just four years ago there was no graduate student body. This year there is a total of four hundred students. It is significant that a large per- centage of the new instructors and professors that the Institute recently gained from engineering industries and various colleges and universities have been ap- pointed to teach graduate classes. New li’o‘trolcum Course A course in petroleum refining is proving to be a subject attract- ing many students. This new course, conducted by Professor Komarewskl, offers the principles of manufacturing and process de- sign of modern petroleum refin- ing and hydrocarbon conversion systems. Another new course that is proving to be a boon to the stu— dent body is the course in indus trial electric drives and motor (continued on page two) shared by nineteen Armour divin nion, and nine Lewis division Winn more of scholarships from high schools and junior colleges chiefly in the Chicago area.
