The following is the resolution concerning est- ablishment of field house fund which was glossed by ITS/l. See story on page one. . WHEREAS, the ITSA BOARD OF CONTROL has a fund in excess of $10,000, being an accumulation of moneys (Activity Fees) not used by the STUDENT BODY over a period of many years, “this accumw iated money being for the sole use of the STUDENT BODY as a whole and for their benefit exclusively”; and WHEREAS, it has been a known fact for several years that the Faculty and Students have never had adequate facilities for Athletic or Recreational Activities; that the Varsity Squads have been always forced to work under conditions that have limited their success; that. we are in need of Locker Rooms, Showers, Team Rooms, Basketball Courts, Tennis Courts, Handball Courts, a Rifle Range, Swimming Pool, and Indoor Track and, in other words, that We need 21 FIELD HOUSE to rightfully take our place as a GREAT SCHOOL; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that $10,000 be placed in a fund to be known hereafter as the “FIELD HOUSE FUND,” such fund being hereby created by this act of the ITSA BOARD OF CONTROL; that such fund so created become the recipient of all funds donated and to be donated for the purpose of building and maintaining this FIELD HOUSE; and that this structure be built upon the order and at the discretion of the ITSA BOARD OF CONTROL.

But there is also little doubt that a new era of understanding between the school authorities and the students is about to begin. For the first time in the history of Armour, before and after the merger, the school authorities have recognized the bargaining right of the student body in regard to the administration of school own- ed concessions. Although the phrase “bargaining right” may be a little too trite to use here, in lieu of its past con. nection with conditions of industrial strife, there is difficulty in finding a better description of what the students did attain as a result of their mass boycott of the lunchroom. in return for the cessation of the boycott, the officials agreed to the setting up of a student committee with the power of investigating the operation of the cafeteria and by means of a series of meetings with George S. Allison and Mrs. Thompson, its administrator and manager, the eli- minating of as many of the student grievances as possible. Technology News is satisfied that this arrange- ment is clear out enough to solve the difficulties that have so long been a part of our campus life. ill“. Herold Wodihom fipeollts dorms hiss On November 79" Problems in electrical research will be the topic of Dr. Harold Vagtborg’s talk before the A1101?) next Friday in room 2W of the Student Union. As director of the Research Foundation, Dr. Vagt- horg is considered well qualified to acquaint the budding electricals with the various new techniques and (levolpmems of research in the electrical, field. Past attendances at recent AlEE meetings indicate that again an overflow crowd will be at hand. Vice-president lrving Kaluima is vigorously ex- tending the organization‘s membership drive to the sophomore class. It is felt that an aggressive interest on the part of the sophomore electricals in their engineering society will be of great help not only to them in the enjoyment of their studies but also to the society itself. Wm. deport“ till“ lmlmlih hoard Minis bundle liter dislilviles This; is the first of o series of articles to present to you, the sludmls of Illinois Tech, a factual report on the activities of your student government, the ITSA. At the meeting; of the i’l‘SA board last Friday several important issues were discussed and passed upon. 0f prime importance was the lunchroom con- troversy. A special committee was appointed to work with Mrs. Thompson, manager of the lunch‘ room', and Mr, Allison to settle the lunchroom af— fair to student satisfaction. President lleaid said that he and other officers of the institute would cooperate fully with this committee or any other committee representing student opinion. Also of great importance was the establishment of the field house fund. $0,000 was appropriated to start the fund rolling. This money is an accumula- tion of student activity fees of many years past. A letter was received from Dr. Davey, coach of the hockey team, requesting that the $255 left over from last year’s appropriation should again be made available to the team for incidental expenses. The request was granted. The Lewis student lounge problem was present again. No definite decision was reached. As you may know $300 was set aside to furnish the lounge but as yet no space has been found. President Heald, Dean Clarke, Bob Meyer and Pat Arns are working together to secure the desired space. At the request of the senior class the year—book problem was presented to the board. A committee from the board was appointed to work with several members of the year-book stall to select a name suitable to the student body. Suggestions will be entertained, these suggestions at a later date to be voted on at a- general poll. The last business discussed concerned the dance club. A request was received from Herman Tachau, president of the organization, for $100 to cover the rental of the Student Union for the club’s evening affairs. This was tabled until the next meeting at which time a detailed report may be presented. In the meantime, the dance club will be extended all credit necessary by the Student Union Board. Moms Hunting Hardly More Horrible Hoiseui, Hosiily Hurry Home Testing their skill as radio de~ teciives, the members of the Arm- our Radio club participated in a hidden transmitter hunt on Sun- day, October 26. The. hunt, spon- sored by the Hamfester’s Radio club of Chicago, was a contest for amateur and commercial radio men. Three cars with twelve men from Rho Epsilon—~‘WOYW, Arm~ our’s chapter, sought, to gain prizes. Out of 21 cars competing, Arm- our boys came in 13th and 14th, the third car having ignition trou— ble. The competition of the Com» merciai men with more eilicient equipment proved too much, Zen- ith Radio corporation securing first place. The cars were equipped with portable mobile direction finder units and loop antenna. Starting from Ryans woods, at a pile-arranged signal indicating the transmitters presence on the air, the cars took directional readings. Two read in g 5 approximately placed the transmitter but the fun had only begun. After knowing the transmitter was so in e wh e r e in Chicago Heights, the fellows drove up and down streets and alloys wooden ing what door to knock on. One of the cars, using current from the battery, had a short-circuit which gave the boys a hot seat for a while. The fellows in the Armour cars were given prizes of radio handbooks by WQYW. The detectives in, the 13th car were Anton Soda WQBDM, Curtis Hep- perle WSHUC, and Rudolf Oras WQZEW (the letters representing the personal transmitter licenses of the fellows). Freshmen Elect Four Permunenr Oliicers Heading into their long and per- ilous college careers the class of '45 last Friday selected the fol lowing men to act as their officers for the forthcoming year: Herbert Post, secretary; Eugene Andre, treasurer; Harold Skinner, I'I‘SA representative and James McNar- ney, social chairman. The balloting for the offices of president and vice-president was so close that a runoff election will be necessary to determine these officers. Candidates for the first position will be Norman Dozen- brook, William Murphy and John ’l‘womcy while James Gibbons, NOVEMBER 4:, 191M Wm WWW ARCH” [Cm till/All NEH WM MCFURE A?“ All?" lNSFll‘Ul‘l’ (continued from page one) he explained that true regionalism only'exists in completely isolated communities and, due to early de- velopment: of transportation, ma- terials become available for from their origin. He showed how the invention of motor cars changed Japanese living, and in cons e- quence, their architecture. Traditionalism and even worse revivalism were false regionalism as exemplified by some builders in California. His slide of an auto 3 tire plant, housed in the shell of 1 a Spanish Mission, caused much amusement. He explained how Nazi Germany is attempting to impose medevial regionalism in oc- cupied countries and how it would fail. He ended his talk by showing some slides of his own work and explained some of the problems which confronted him as an ar- chitcct. Richard J. Neutra assisted in the designing of Chicago’s famous. Palmer House and numerous oth' or structures located throughout America. He was born in Vienna, Austria, and acquired his earlier education there. Since 1925, Mr. Neutral has been a resident of Los Angeles, California. Professor Emeritus Peel Doodles Roch Collection Illinois Tech. has acquired two geology collections to augment the original collection in the Liberal Arts college, according to Mr. L. R. fllhiesmoyer, student adviser of the new Institute of Gas Tech- nology. Professor Emeritus Poet, former g professor of zoology at Lewis in stitute, and Dr. Carpenter, asso- ,‘ ciate professor of metallurgy, have donated their personal geological collections to the school. In doing so the collections of the school have acquired folios, which are valuable because they are no long- er in print. These folios belonged to Professor Poet’s collection. From Dr. Carpenter’s collection the school. received specimens which appeared in the Columbian '5 Exposition. The total value of: these collections exceeds several thousand dollars. Donald McConachie, Peter Minn wegen and Douglas Snyder will fight it out for the office of vice- president. TECHAWKS; W200?” TO lANi-i TURNER With a week to go in Dance club membership drive, members of the club are putting on extra steam in an effort to boost the membership to an allilme high. Announcing himself as being highly pleased with the results, Johnnie Cotter, chairman of the membership committee, empha. sized that the drive closes Wed- nesday, November 12, one week from tomorrow. All who bring in three new members will receive a bid to the Turkey Trot, the school’s social opener to be held the 19th, the day before Thanks- giving. Club‘s Advantages Advantages of belonging to the Dance club, the officers point out, are numerous. The total cost of membership is only twenty-five cents. Regardless of the member’s ability there is a class that espe- cially meets his needs. During the school year there are to be TURKEY Willi”; JOli‘llS DATE BUREAU numerous social affairs, several of which will be open to the mem- bers only. At the end of the se- mester the club will hold a free dance and social open only to members in good sounding, at one of the city’s better places. Exclusively the property of members will be the Dating bu- reau, in charge of Pete Minwegen. The bureau’s files have been painstakingly prepared and are, according to Pete, representative of the city’s finest examples of feminine pulchritude. Lewis Girls At tomorrow’s session there will be girls for all who desire part“ ners. These will come to the school under the gallant escort of Bill Murphy who is heading a convoy of automobiles to the Lew- is campus to pick up a bevy of sweater girls. The first of the bids to the Tur- key Trot will also be placed on sale at tomorrow’s meeting. l
