“BEER BUSTS" at Tech seems to be
good financial propositions, recalling
the recent fate of school dances. The
boys sometimes bring in female enter—
tainers and movies to spice things up,
but they are reportedly getting wild
lately.

If they get any Worse than the one
Tuesday, Tech beer parties will be as
publicized as Wheaton College’s prayer
meetings, but not for the same reasons.
How about a little caution, fellows?

ADVERTISING METHODS some—
times spoil the pleasant art of mer-
chandising. I dislike
those sucker baits that
offer “charm and
glamour —— just send
$1.50, etc.”

A Chicago newspa— :
per is currently run- _____
ning an ad in which a
photographer claims
that 300 kids are be
ing lined up for a
movie, being selected with the help of
photographs which only his outfit is
authorized to make. Probably that
many pairs of ambitious mommas and
precocious brats are hanging Holly-
wood’s door now. Save your money,
parents.

“NOT BAFFLED,“ said Mordy
Rhodes, Rho Epsilon president. He was
referring to the article run last week
on the Student Union sound system.
(See the letter, column 4.)

 
 
  
 
 
  
 

 

 

According to the story, “The problem
of repairing the sound system involved
innumerable hours of stringing wire
and the acquisition of a transformer
whose impedance requirements baffled
the Rho Epsilon radio technicians for
two semesters.”

Our sources for the story offered
“baffled" as a kindly explanation for
the job so long undone. if we all are
mistaken, we’re sorry, however, we’d
like a better reason.

 

 

Techhawks, do you think that you

don’t get enough vacations? Illinois
Tech students are better off than they
think they are. Officials of Davidson
College decided to give the students and
faculty a necessary vacation between
final exams and the beginning of the
new semester. The generous holiday
consisted of three days—«Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday.

Three days is a vacation?

Are you an ideal boy or girl (not

both—I hope)? A Purdue Univer-

674 students-4332 males and 342

females. The professor, Dr. Har-

that he finds the young folks don‘t

always date the kinds of persons

they would prefer to marry.

An old clergyman owned a parrot of
which he was very fond, but the bird
picked up a vocabulary of cuss words
from a previous owner and after a se-
ries of embarrassing episodes, decided
to get rid of the bird.

A lady in his parish suggested a last
ditch remedy. “I have a female parrot,"
she said, “who is an absolute saint, She
sits on her perch all day and does
nothing but pray from morning to night.
Why don’t you bring your parrot over
and see if her influence doesn’t reform
him?”

The clergyman said it was worth a
trial and next night arrived with his
pet under his arm. The bird took one
look at the lady parrot and chirped,
“Hiya, touts. How about a little loving?"

“Oh, baby! Come to mamma,” cried
the lady parrot gleefully. “What do you
think I’ve been praying for all these
years?"

didn’t like in the attitude of the
girls. The girls were not altogether
enthusiastic about some of the
boys’ traits.

it simmers down to this, he said:
“All a boy wants is a girl who is
affectionate, romantic, physically
attractive, one who doesn’t sinoke,
and gives promise of being a home-
maker. All a girl wants is a chap
with conventional sex standards,
good financial prospects, who is
ambitions and industrious, of a re-
ligious nature, considerate and so-
ciable." Comment: my require-
ments for a girl—she must be
warm, and breathing.

To the Editor:

The P. A. system was built by Rho
Epsilon several semesters ago. They
were hired by ITSA and subsequently
paid for it. When the system broke
down last year, Rho Epsilon and the
Radio club were asked to make a term
porary hook—up for the Christmas pro—
gram which they did and which worked.
No charge for labor was made for this.
The system was r‘ewired by l’I‘SA over
the last vacation. The question was
asked of me regarding which two of
three available terminals should be
used to match the amplifier to the new
lines. I informed the boys of ITSA that
,if they couldn"t find out by a simple
impedance measurement or some other
means, I would help. Evidently they
found out because the system now
works. At no time was mention made
of a matching transformer. A state
of bafflement never existed in the minds
of either the Rho Epsilon or the Radio
Club boys connected with the project.
The lTSA boys on the project are EE’s
of varied advanced standings, who
should normally never have difficulty
with such a simple project. A retrac-
tion is therefore in order.

Thank you,
Mordy M. Rhodes,
Pres. Rho Epsilon

The reason college men usuolly ask for
”Arrow” is that year after year, these shirts
give them the best value.

For the proof, come in and see our spring
