”MO‘TMEIR" GLANCY to filth Contributing to the future ideal of “campus school,” 220 undergraduate students from many states in the union and various countries throughout the world make up the residence lists of Farr and Fowler halls, Illinois Tech’s two recently—established dormitories for men. Men pursuing courses in engineering, and students of science, architecture, and liberal studies occupy the two halls, whose con- struction was completed just prior to the opening of the fall term in 43. Wt Wishing to maintain a prevail- ing fraternal atmosphere, enter— prising occupants, aided by their counsellors, wasted little time in getting house members together, electing committees and planning entertainment and relaxation dur- ing the school years ahead. Funds obtained from the treasury of the old Graduate house (now Brown hell) were used to purchase sub— scriptions for magazines, provide cards, chess, checkers, and ping” pong equipment for the ready use of interested residents. Aided considerably by “house mothers” Ed Glancy, Tech’s has» ketball and baseball coach who supervises Fowler, and Fred Travis, dean of admissions, who handles Farr’s troubles, the don mitories made considerable prog— ress in ironing: out various social and technical difficulties to fit the dorms effectively into the long- range building program slated for this area. , The Farr hall boys last Febru- ary organized a house council com- posed of men in charge' of all phases of interdorm activity. With the installation of this council, plans were made to publish a newspaper to brine: news of dor- mitory and school functions to the residents of both Farr and Fowler halls. This newspaper, called quite fittingly Farr Crier. has a present- dav circulation of 300. The council also established “Ivy Day,” which consists of the yearly planting of an ivy plant from a different state or country (the home of a Farr hall resident) alongside the house. Last year Irene Radvilas, IIT woman of the year. was guest of honor at this festivity and consequently did the spade work. Other activities encased in by unified action of the residents were the entering of a contestant in the uelv man contest. participation in intramural athletics and the Junior Wee‘k Turtle race, conducting a survey on the ups and downs of the Brown hall food service, and soon— sorshin of several dances through- out the year. Kev leaders in Farr’c campus progress have been Sam Lane. Les Saxe. Jerry Drescher, and Dick McCall. Fowler hall, on the other hand, F'filt’ififll" d?” 82% Year can see why everyone likes Night? flit? fihlhlllhfih' it , :wmmmmw l has carried on its functions solely through a duly elected house com- mittee, now headed by Roger Bills, and sundry contributions of mem— bers s c a t t c r e d throughout the house. The house committee, besides handling numerous problems that arise, has thrown several success- ful dances in the basement lounge. The committee also has recently published its own paper, the Fow- ler Growler, and has several other activities planned for the coming months. Athletic teams have been or— ganized by various members of the dorm, and these teams, posses- sing good athletic talent, have successfully competed in all phases of intramural athletics. The food» handled by “Father” Wilneta Falconer, the breadwin- nor, still continues to occupy the minds of students, however. Al- though much has been done to pro- vide more likeable and better qual— ity food, the dorm occupants, who are required to eat all their meals at this cafeteria, feel that much still can he done to correct present conditions. It is hoped that the food survey of Farr hall, men» tioned previously, will indicate clearly which foods are actually eaten and which serve only as more work for the neighborhood gar- bage collector. i on late tiles use In hunters “Will graduating seniors take 200 to 1 odds in order to get a job?” This question was asked by Harold L. Minkler, director of placement, last Tuesday. f‘A numv her of seniors have not as yet sup~ plied identification photographs. In most cases, it would be worthwhile for them to spend a couple of dol- lars to obtain additional photo“ graphs (2% x 31/2) for use on the interview blanks,” Minkler said. Positions paying $200 to $300 a month are being missed because the placement files are only 65 per cent complete with the seniors’ in- terview forms and photographs. Tuesday, one interviewer left the placement office without con- tacting either of two chemical en- gineering seniors who had not com- pleted their forms. “Not only were two good positions missec," Mink~ ler said, “but also two opportuni- ties to obtain doctor’s degrees.” neither will it“ aims Clues otter ngsionl Sc hatter travel Home «and hack on ihhhhhihdhifi ithlli. fifiitfithtiihhi More Fan, Too, traveling with the gang.

For Elissa—For fiemicrt chr @ependnhility @Q my hhr‘hihii By Dave Miller Featured speaker on Tuesday’s senior class placement pnogram will be Maynard M. Boring, manager of personnel for General Electric. Mr. Boring is making a special trip from Schenectady. N. Y., at the request of the senior class to present a talk on “Job Opportunities for the 1950 Grad- uate.” Few men are more qualified to present the subject than Mr. Bor- ing, who is considered the “dean of college recruiters” by those in the field. He has personally inter» viewed and recruited technically- trained men since 1917, and it has been estimated that he has inter- viewed 250,000 men since that time. Receiving his degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado he began working for General Electric as testman and assistant general foreman. In 1922 he became permanently asso— ciated with the’personnel depart— ment, where he worked until 1934. A promotion in 1946 elevated Mr. Boring to the position of manager of technical personnel, and he is at present working at this job. Mr. Boring has been a prominent ’ figure in engineering education. He held the positions of chairman on the Manpower committee of the American Society for Engineering Education and of the Committee on Education of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The appearance of Mr. Boring on campus is of added interest as General Electric, twice yearly, visits Illinois Tech with the idea of hiring new engineers for their company. This fact should influ- ence others than just seniors to attend this meeting, which will be held Tuesday, December 15, at 1:00 p.m., in the Chemistry audi- torium. ”that” its 2 mm.’ d9 Ecyerngcs at Every iieseripiion. e Finest oi Luncheons Served liaily. iii Frankie Speciaimflhiclten and Ellis «— Friday and Saturday Nights ”'i‘ill Meet Your lllinoie Tech Friends in the Conviviul Atmosphere of the Friendly Tavern.
