more making the next highest mark.
Two prizes for freshmen students
for the amounts of thirty dollars the
first and twenty dollars the second
have been donated by Mr. H. L.
Hasie, a former student of the Col
lege, now a civil engineer in Mem
phis, Texas.
These prizes will be awarded at
the close of the session. Details gov
erning the awards will be worked
out later.
Rather Good.
An Englishman was seeing some
“collegiate” dancing for the first
time. He seemed greatly impressed,
and after a lengthy pause inquired
of his guide: “I say, my dear chap
pie, they marry afterwards, don’t
they?”

“Ticket” commanded the door
keeper at the Junior Prom.
“Here,” said the fellow with the
unattractive girl, “and give me a
transfer.”
Book Store Owner: Aren’t you
worrying about the ten dollars you
owe us ? " • ? *1
Student: Heck no. What’s the use
of both of us worrying about it?

Where do young college men get in a large
industrial organisation? Have they
opportunity to exercise creative talent?
Is individual work recognised?

A IRPLANE carriers are a re-
-*■ cent development in naval
history—and they have a com
munication problem that calls for
the engineering resources of an
organization which has shown it
can make radio history.
Complex maneuvers are di
rected, scouting ex
peditions controlled,
and far-dying planes
recalled—by radio.
On the U. S. Navy Airplane
Carriers “Lexington” and “Sara
toga” the situation is met with
crystal control transmitters de
signed to send on different wave
lengths. Each plane’s receiving
set has its own wave length. A
turn of the dial on the transmit
ter selects the wave length cor
responding to that of the plane
to be reached with a message.
Radio equipment on the “Lex
ington” and “Saratoga” was de-
Westinghouse
signed, built, and installed by
Wes ting ho use — the organiza
tion which in 1920 established
KDKA, the pioneer radio broad
casting station of the world, and
which also operates stations KFKX,
KYW, WBZ, and WBZA.

Opportunities to do the history
making things in engineering fall
naturally to an organization with a
record for making history in its field.
And Westinghouse, quite as naturally,
offers powerful attractions to those
young college men
whose initiative and
enterprise fit them for
history-making tasks.
