Senior Architects
In Competition
For Witchell Award
Architectural drawing's for the an
nual Witchell Competion are nearing
completion. The competition has been
held yearly for the past five years
and is sponsored by Frank O. Witch
ell of the Dallas firm, Lang & Witch
ell, architects. The prizes are attrac
tive medals in the shape of the Cor
inthian capitol, the first award is a
gold medal and the second prize is
a similar medal in silver.
The program for this year is “A
University Club in a Large City.”
The features that are required in the
plan represent the usual facilities
found in a club building of this sort.
Among numerous other accommoda
tions there must be a library, a small
auditorium, a gymnasium and swim
ming pool with necessary facilities,
and residential accommodations with
the usual lounges and dining rooms.
The contest is open to senior stu
dents in architectural design. In a
general statement about the trend of
the drawings to be submitted this
year, Ernest Langford, head of the
department says, “The designs show
a marked influence of modernism,
which simply means that architecture
is in a period of transition, trying to
find its way out of the classicism of
the past fifty years.”
The following students are compet
ing for this year’s prizes: W. M. Col
lier jr., Abilene; C. R. Coneway, Fri-
ona; A. G. McKain, College Station;
J. E. Monroe jr., El aPso; E. E. Ro
berts jr., San Antonio; E. M. Rus
sell, Ft. Worth; E. J. Schmidt, Rose
bud, and R. L. Stripling, San Augus
tine.
Scribblers Present Play
“Strata,” a one act play written, di
rected, and produced by “The Scrib
blers,” was given before an enthu
siastic audience last Wednesday night
in the Asbury room at the Library.
The theme of the play was a philo
sophical conception of human nature
as consisting of three layers or strata.
Every person, as developed by the
play, has three distinct layers of per
sonality. The first layer is a glossy
covering of our repressed desires, un
social qualities, and vulgar manners.
This top layer is the polished surface
that we use in everyday life to meet
our friends and acquaintances.
Under stress of strong emotion or
drink the top layer breaks and the
second layer becomes apparent in our
actions. If the stress is severe enough,
or immediately following a severe
stress, this second stratum disappears
and the third one is seen. This third
layer is the inherent good in every
man and woman.
During the course of the play sever
al successive situations worked on the
three characters to reveal in turn their
different “strata.”
College men as a whole fall short
as leaders, according to Charles Stel-
zle, of New York.

Marshall Wins
In A. H. Contest
Mechanical displays and shop oper
ations will feature the “open house”
of the mechanical engineering depart
ment Saturday, May 9. The exhibit
was planned by members of the de
partment after it was learned that
there would be no engineers’ day and
consequently no entertainment for the
visitors expected on the campus for
the week-end of Mothers’ Day.
Most prominent of the displays will
be “Vesuvius of the foundry” in which
a spectacular display resembling vol
canic action results from the mixing
of molten iron and an easily burned
metal. Huge masses of smoke and
fire works fill the foundry room dur
ing this particular display and much
excitement has heretofore resulted
from the exhibition.
In addition to this there will be
exhibitions in the wood working and
machine shops and in the steam lab
oratory, where numerous steam prime
movers, principally among which are
a miniature locomotive, a reversible
locomobile engine, a marine engine, a
new Tipps diesel-type engine and sev
eral other steam driven engines and
air comprssors, will be in operation.
The shops will be open for the vis- |
itors at 6:30 p. m. and exhibits will
remain open until after the pouring
of molten iron and the “Vesuvius” ;
act which is scheduled to begin at 8 j
o’clock so that it will terminate in |
time for spectators to attend the |
dance at the mess hall which starts
at nine.
Twenty-four visiting members of
the Zeta Delta Epsilon fraternity re
cently kelped conduct the installation
of the 72nd Upsilon Alpha chap
ter of the national organization at
the University of Arizona.

R. P. Marshall, Heidenheimer, took
first place with a score of 548 Satur
day in the annual Sophomore live
stock judging contest conducted by
the department of animal husbandry
last Saturday. With a scoring of
first place in three of the four di
visions of animals judged, he was
easily the winner over the group of
fifteen that entered the contest.
The three highest men, R. P. Mar
shall 548, J. Nagy 525, and M. A.
Stinson 518, will receive gold medals
donated by Bryan merchants as re
cognition of the work they have done
in this contest. Following close be
hind Stimson, was L. F. Stewart with
517 and W. D. Russell with 512.
The number of contestants this
year, which was smaller than usual, is
due to a decrease in the number of
students usually taking this work
rather than lack of interest in the
work.
NEW EDITOR IN CHARGE
Claude M. Evans, Battalion editor-
elect for next year, has been author
ized to assume his editorial duties im
mediately, due to the withdrawal from
school of Robert L. Herbert, editor
this year. In appreciation of the work
done on the publication this year by i
Herbert, however, his name will con
tinue to appear on the editorial page
“masthead” as editor-in-chief.
Selection of Evans as editor of The
Battalion for the remainder of the
year was made on recommendation of
F. E. Bortle, cadet colonel and senior
election committee chairman, as it
was deemed unnecessary to call a spe
cial election for the position as the
close of the school year is so close.
Shepps Ellected Pres.
Hillel Club
Isadore Shepps, a junior in Troop
A, Cavalry, has been elected as presi
dent of the Hillel club for next year.
Other officers selected at a meeting
of the club held Sunday night, May 3,
in the Asbury room of the Library
were Walter Gershovitz, Hillsboro,
vice president; I. A. Handler, Galves
ton, secretary-treasurer; and Louis
Gross, Waco, publicity director.
A review of the club’s work during
the past year was made, and tenta
tive plans for a picnic to be held May
23 were discussed.
Outgoing officers of the club are
E. Levy, Waco, president; N. O. Gor
man, Dallas, vice president; Morris
Bock, Dallas, secretary-treasurer. Un
der the regime of these men the club
membership more than doubled this
past year.
Only a people that are strong and
calm can work usefully for peace.—
