N ew York theater-goers. Since then

' this particular play has been used

in the movies, and now the chief
characters concerned in the orig-
inal script can be heard in a radio
serial. The Lewis players who
have been working on the play
for some time, feel that this play
will have an especial appeal to the
audience since the characters are
well known, and the interpreta—
tion that the players will give will
be particularly interesting since it
has not been so long since the
players themselves were faced by
the same problem as Henry and
his associates face.

A stormy love affair in a Moxi-
can village unfolds in the one—act
curtain raiser, “Sunday Costs Five
Pesos.” Helen Marzullo gives an
excellent interpretation of the
Mexican temperament in bringing
out the excitable, yet childish
love of the Mexican peasant.

Admission to the evening of
dramatic entertainment can be
gained for the sum of forty (40)
cents. Tickets may be obtained
from the information offices on
either of the campuses, in the
Bookstore on the south campus,
or from any of the Drama Club
members.

“RAlLllGADS” TQPEC
rd“ AME MEETlNG

Railroads as the backbone of
transportation, their military sig-
nificance, and their contribution
to the development of our coun~
try were discussed at the meeting
of the ASCE last Friday. The
speaker was C. B. Grove, chief
engineer of maintenance of way,
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

With short anecdotes of person.
a] experiences, Mr. Grove told of
the appeal possessed by railroad
work. It taxes every energy, re-
quires constant attention, and
presents unusual occurrences.‘ in
addition to technical knowledge
and practical experience a rail—
road man must be able to keep
the fire of enthusiasm constantly
burning.

Bciiiand for Engineers

Mr. Grove, whose work includes
interviewing prospective engi»
nears, has had thirty years of
service with the Pennsylvania. He
was thus well qualified after his
talk to answer questions related
primarily to the engineer’s rela~
tion to railroads. Demand for em
gineers is large. not for new con
struction, but for development
and maintenance of present rights
oi tax. A definite, well-planned
program is in operation for train-
ing of engineering graduates for
positions ol? a supervisory nature
which present excellent possibili-
ties for advancement to execu—
tive positions.

The meeting was closed after
president Art Minwegen intro-
duced Mr. Sanders, the chapter
contact member.

Lewis Loangc Discussed

Because the members were very
slow to arrive, the meeting got
under way late, but once started,
the business before the house was
passed upon or discussed in a
most efficient manner. The new
student lounge for Lewis was re.
ported on, and it appears that the
Lewis people will not be disap-
pointed Bill Vizard then reported

that the yearbook problem was’

under consideration but that noth~
in had yet been decided.
intcrscholastic Bowling League

There was much important new
business brought before the
house. Sonny and “Uncle John”
revealed that IIT has received
an invitation to participate in an
intel‘schelastic bowling league.
Northwestern. Loyola, Chicago.
and De Paul are to be the other
members of this league, and each
school will put forth two teams
of live men each in this competi‘
lion. This invitation was accepted
by a unanimous vote. Other new
business included the appeal of
Rho Epsilon, the radio fraternity,
for funds for new equipment.
"Uncle John” promised to take
care of this matter for the “hams.”
