in the chemistry, physics, and

that department’s extensive lab-
oratory setup.

Claus was born in Skelleftea,
Sweden, a town so close to the
Arctic Circle that electric lights
are not used between the months
ot’ May thru August. (Claus prob~
ably takes to the present Chicago
weather like a polar bear to an
iceberg, that lucky man.) He
came to America at the age of 19
in 1926.

Elie worked with a construc-
tion gang almost continuously,
with a few breaks to visit
Sweden and a winter in a log-
ging comp, until he came to the
newly formed Illinois Tech in
1940 with the buildings and
grounds department. After at
year with that section he went

the chem one department,
where he has remained since.

One of the more memorable in-
cidents of his tour of duty at Tech
was the time a student spilled
some mercury on the lab floor.
When he asked Claus how to
gather it up, Claus told him to
go to the Chemistry stockroom
and pick up a mercury magnet.
The student returned in a few
minutes with a dustpan with cop-
per wire wound around the handle
and inquired, “Where do I plug
this gadget in at”

While maintaining and issuing
equipment to students may be—
come nerve wrecking to say the
least, Claus has somehow man-

the student insurance plan with-
out the necessity of a physical ex--
amination has been e x t e n d e d

second semester will be eligible
to participate in the summer
health plan which will provide
continuous protection th r0 ugh
September. .

Any students wishing to buy
this insurance may do so at the
‘V 'bursar’s office. '

Lambert Neighbour, " ‘

 

 

chosen to fill theyaonnt positions
on the publications board.

The one year appointments re-
turn the board to its original
strength of four students, one
faculty, and one administrative
representative. They were neces-
sitated by the, completion of terms
of ofiice of. Evert Sane, committee
chairman, and Sherman Roberts,
secretary. ’

Other boon-d Members are
Robert Z :5 vi 1; it, naturist-Elected
chairman; H a r r y' ‘Ashbridge;
James Armsey, director of pub- ‘
lic relations, omit retiree Davis,
head oi, the industrial engineer-
ing and business and economics
departments. Bert Neighbour
was elected secretary ol' the
board at a, meeting Tuesday}

Tedriclc and Neighbour are well
qualified to take their positions
as members of the board. Before
coming to Illinois Tech, they both
had experience in the journalism
field. Tedrick has been editor of
the newspaper at Wright Junior
college and has been active at
Tech since his arrival at year ago.
Neighbour, who is new president
of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity,
was sports editor of a company
publication, and a staff member
of an armed service newspaper.

One of the main tasks con-
fronting; the publications board
is the recruiting of stall mem—
bers for campus publications.
With the expected drastic drop
in enrollment next semester,
publications will he howl hit.
The publications hoard intends
to help build up the depleted
publications stalls.

The board selects the editors of

all school publications. in addi—
tion, the publications board makes
budget recommendations to ITSA
and handles complaints concern»
ing publications. Now under its
jurisdiction are Technology News,
Integral, Lifechnette, Student Di-
rectory and Zest.
