2 THE BATTALION 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? * * * A new $3,000,000 hotel in Chicago will be named “The Coolidge.” It ought to be a nice quiet place.—Ex. A. N.

Have they opportunity to exercise creative talent? Is individual work recognised? r r r 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. r r r 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.
