THIS WEEK MEETENGS will be

held by the seniors to decide a
class policy which may have a great
efi'ect on setting a precedent for
the future. One of the questions to
be decided will concern what will
be worn at the Senior Farewell. in
the past, this matter has always
been good for a violent discussion,
and from here it looks like there
will be a long argument again.

They talk about u bunch of. worn--
on haggling about what to wear
to what dance, but the senior classes
have always been able to give the
women a run for the laurels. Once
again the seniors will decide if their
Farewell will be strictly formal or
semi—formal. In the post, the semi
crowd has usually won out, lately
with the war on their side. And per-
haps they were right. War time was
no time to stress formality, and no
body did.

NOW, l’l" WOULDN’T hurt to have

at least one college function at
which everyone was in formal dress.
Of course, it may be hard to recog-
nize one’s friends, but it does add
dignity. A ruling in favor of a. semiv
formal affair would not bring uni—
formity; at such 9. Farewell, there
will be everything from sport coats
to tails.

Each side in the coming argument
will be able to give any number of
reasons for supporting its opinion,
but the fact remains that there
should be at least one dignified event
in four years, even in an engineer—
ing; factory. After all, for every
semi-formal dance, the girls have to
climb into formuls, and it wouldn't
hurt even an engineer to hunt for
a collar button once.

, The “Fresh Mixer” will be held
tomorrow in the SU auditorium. A
program of entertainment including
dance music by Homer Wickham’s

‘ bond, instrumental and dance spe-

cialties at intermission, and refresh—
ments served in the cafeteria, will
serve to acquaint. the freshman
among themselves and to upper
classmen, who are also invited.

lGirls from neighboring schools
have been invited for freshmen stu-
dents without dates only. The fresh—
men class officers felt they would
be slighting the upper classmen if
they procured dates for them, com-
mented George Stuckhouse, presi-
dent.

The intermission period will fea-
ture Barth Pollak at the piano, Bob
Neeton’s orchestra and a chorus
from a modeling school. According;
to the Frosh social committee, New-
ton‘s orchestra is considered one of
the outstanding small orchestral
groups in the mid~west. The band
will present its arrangements of
“Blue Skies" and ”Stompology.”

Ayuii ble to Students,

As a result of the encouraging
results of last semester's tutoring
service, the lnterhonorary Council
has decided to continue the project
on a permanent basis. The main rea—
son for this semesber’s late start
may be traced to the IHC’s lute
meeting and later difficulty in ob.
taming unoccupied rooms, according,r
to Warren Broclmieir, head of the
tutoring service.

Under Brockmeii‘ is a stall of 12
men, who are available for the stu»
dents general needs. The schedule
is as follows: Tuesday 10 to l2.
118A; ‘Wednesduy il to lo. 217C;
Thursday I to 4, ll'FC; Friday 3%
to 4, 211C. Since there is a mood for
additional tutors, anyone inte JFSlWl
should apply to Brockmeir.

At a meeting of the HT chapter
of the AVG last Thursday, the Web
crans’ problem committee presented
a report on a co—op bookstore, the
price of milli, end the Engineers
License Law.

The committee stated in its report
that it thought the prices the book.
store charged were too high; and
that these prices would cause a sub.-
stantinl decrease in eligibility time
under the GI bill. The Vets proposed
a remedy in stating that co-op boolt~
store would be able to sell books
and supplies for less than the book"
store.

The report pointed out that milk
in stores could be purchased at 2h:
3 quart, whereas the cafeteria has
been chargingr l8c a pint. A sub-
committee, headed by Arnold Ros,»
nor, is to appear before the ITSA to
protest against this discrepancy in
prices.

The AVC also accep—
ted the resolution that the chapter
would undertake the creation and
maintenance of recreational facili—
ties for the children in the neighbor—
hood of HT.

The permanent building program
on the lllinois 'l‘cch campus is re»
turning to full stride with the recent
delivery of structural steel, said
Raymond J. Spaeth, executive sec—
retary and treasurer of HT last
week. The lack of steel, due to the
fact that the steel mills could not
produce enough for all their orders,
was all that tied up the construction
of the buildings. Bricks, pipes, tile,
and all other materials have been
here for months, explained Spaeth.

The two new buildings are expec—
ted to be completed and equipped
for classes next Eleptember, said
Spacth. If, however, the buildings
are not wholly finished by then, the
freshmen chemistry laboratories will
be the first to be equipped so that
they may he used in September.

The two new buildings plus the
which
should be ready for occupancy next

the campus for instructional pur—
poses, adding: some 125,000 square
