QCTDBER ’2’, 1941 VANEDER MEl’ ELECTED PRES. SHUTTER WENDS; SALQN NEXT MGNTH Club's New Equipment On Exhibition Equipment? Facilities? Activi» ties?—~Say, you haven’t seen a thing until you get a look at “The Eye’s” new quarters. Ahead of other clubs, “The Eye” held its election Fri. Sept. 26. The photo-enthusiasts now have a fly- ing start. Chosen to guide the destinies of the club for the forth- coming school year was Richard Vendor Mey, ME ’44. First om- ciul act of the newly elected presi- dent was to invite all students to come to the club rooms on the fourth floor of Chopin hall this Friday, Oct. 10, at 10 a.m. At that time the clubrooms will be open for inspection to anyone inter- ested in photography. Among the highlights of the last meeting was the unanimously adopted reduction in dues. Al- though the old fee of $3 per semes‘ ter was fully justified by the won— derful equipment which the club has, it was decided to lower the rate to $2 per semester. Henry Hermonovich, who was elected treasurer will take care of the li- nancial arrangements. A very fine Super Omega 3 en- larger and a 5x7 Elwood enlarger with a Zeiss Tessor lens are among the very excellent coulo- ment belonging to the club. The studio is complete with inter» changeable backgrounds, spot~ lights and a new portrait corners. Charles; Behrcns, the new vice- presidcnt, will be in charge of in- structing the new members in the use of this equipment. A salon is being planned tor the near future. So get clicking you shutter-bugs, and don’t forget the next meeting of “The Eye,” Fri— day at 10, in the clubrooms. TECHNOLOGE.’ NEWS WHAT’S THIS?

Wisdom homoerotic in Meiji... would Keeping pace with recent de- velopments in other departments and the country at large the me— chanical engineering department has rcadaptcd its curriculum and facilities so as to meet modern industrial demands. New equipment has been added to facilitate study in all phases of the courses. Among the new ma- chines are several micromax tour peroture controllers and recorders -—-a pipe-insulation testing device, and an air-conditioning machine presented by the Mills Novelty company. A new control panel for the air blower, equipped with resistors and rheostats to provide continuous control from 160 rpm to bursting speed was built by co-ops, and floor drill press, bench drill press, lathe and grinder have been installed in the steam lab. workshop. Principal curriculum changes, according to Prof, John I. Yellott, have been made in the direction of unifying the work in machine design into a four semester se- quence. Prof. Yellott stated, “the trend towards the giving of more analytical and less empirical ma- terial has been followed in the introduction of fluid mechanics in place of hydraulics, and in chang- ing the status of Dr. Jacob’s course in heat transfer from that of an elective to a required course. The mechanics lab. setup has been changed and the fluid the chanics lab. will take over some of the fundamental work formerly given in the mechanics lab. course. “Work in heating, ventilating, sud eirconditioning which for- merly run during the whole of the senior your has been consoli— dated into a single course which will be given during the second huh” of the senior year. The work. in shop practice is also being changed, with increased emphasis on engineering aspects rather than on the acquisition of manual skills. “Emphasis in the machine shop will be placed on the manage- men: and engineering phases of production rather than in mar chine operation, An improved new course is the sophomore work in engineering materials given by Prof. Raga. This is expected to give mechanical engineering stu- dents a working knowledge of metallurgy. The course is made possible because of the large in~ crease in metallurgical laboratory facilities furnished by defense training equipment.” The latest EDT report shows that HT has trained 4,539, indi- viduals out of a total national number of 106,629. The total amount of money granted to the institute for training was $248,- 494 out of a nationwide total of $7,245,893. Thus IIT has done 4.27% of the total training with an expenditure of 3.43% of the total appropriation, achieving a very creditable economy. A great deal of credit for this newest progress goes to Prof. John I. Yellott, who last year re ceived the A.S.M.E. award for be ing “an outstanding young me- chanical engineer in the United States,” and to his able staff. it?

Speakers Urge Student Spot-i" Participation Last Friday at 9:10 am. the west campus was graced by the official presence of the high moguls con- nected with the sports department of Illinois Tech. The assembly was opened by “Uncle John” Schom- mer who first called upon Mrs. Olive Pierce Hazel to illuciclate concerning women’s sports. Mrs. Hazel discussed the importance nt‘ physical education as a part of the educational program. She also announced the meeting of the Lewis Drama club on Tuesdays and 'l‘hursdays from 1-3 pm. ll‘ollowing Mrs. Hazel, Mr. Schornmer introduced Coach Grant Stenger. Mr. Stenger is well known to the upper clasmcn at Lewis, but for the freshmen this was their first introduction to the man who will direct their athletic activities for the coming year. Mr. Stcnger announced that a meeting,f will be held this afternoon in the gym. Rennie M e y e r s, basketball coach; Dr. McNamara, medical ad- visor; Bill O’Brien. freshman coach; and last but far from least, Sonny Wolssmun, baseball, box» ing, and wrestling coach, were in- troduced and urged participation. in the various athletic activities of Illinois Tech. Miss .ludkins, assistant to Mr. Schommor in the placement bu- reau, was then, introduced and she stated the need for students who have a knowledge of secretarial work. Miss Judltins also asked the students who desired either part or full time work. to file their ap‘ plicutions in the coop office to te- cilitate rapid placement. To the girls of the arts and sci— ence divisions, Mr. Schommer ad- dressed his closing words. In his usual straight forward manner, “Uncle John” explained to the girls who have majored in the physical sciences that they have a better chance for advancement if they have u secretarial back- ground. Dean Clarke closed the assem- bly by pointing out to the stu- dents that now more than ever there is a need for every thinking individual to test his resourcefull- ncss, initiative, and in general the characteristics that every Ameri~ can likes to say his pioneer fore~ Fathers possessed. All branches of industrial activities are now open to any student who has the cour- age to assert these characteristics. flirt-hull files deceive reticent” hitrs stitch “Art, art," says Sandy. “I better tell Daddy,” Annie.
