Special Engineers' Cheering Section Plan Is Approved
More Football Enthusiasm and Support Expected by Using School Rivalry.
Rivalry
The school of Engineering and Architecture will have a special cheering section at all home football games next fall according to plans drawn up by a representative group of engineering students and approved by Dean George C. Shaad and Dr. C. "Phog" Allen Wednesday morning.
The athletic department will set apart a section of the men's cheering section for engineers. Old yells will be revived and new yells made. An engineering chef leader selected after officers will have charge of the section.
Special Engineering Convocation
Special Engineering Convocation
Dean Shaad has promised to co-author the book, next fall to discuss the plans and iron out any questions which may arise. Yells will be practiced and all students will be required to their seats in the special section.
It is felt that there is not as much support given to the team on the field as there should be and that this team will be the most successful. The idea is to co-operate with the present cheering plans by introducing the element of school competition. There will be a game next fall all schools in the University will have organized. The athletic department plans to seat each section for special cheering sections are organized.
The idea has been under discussion for three weeks. Theodore Gardner, e29, George Eps, e29, Frank I. Baxter, e29, have been working on the plans for some time. When Dean Shaah and Doctor Allen were consulted on the matter they gave approval because the things look like the solution works.
Idea Is Co-operative
2000 Invitations Are Sold
Three engineering fraternities, Kappa Eta Kappa, Theta Tau and Triangle are behind the movement. It was not to go against the wishes of the head cheer leader but rather to co-operate with him and make the cheering much more offensive out the laws," he said, "and the laws try to shout the engineers down with the other schools trying to make more noise." The result ought to be very heartening for the team. A Rock-Calk yell by such a student body will send his队伍 between his legs."
Open Announcements Go Third Class for Two Cents
Persons who desire to mail announcements of the University graduation exercises will find that the rates vary for postage charge depending on the university. Postmaster mail.

"I am not sure that the supply will be sufficient for everyone if the stack is full," Mr. Creight said. "There is only an average number of invitations on supply this year. In case that it is too high, we need to order more but we must know soon enough. Students are urged to turn in their order when needed, we can obtain them at once."
Two thousand of the announcements have been sold, at present, according to the University business office.

Cleveland, Ohio, (UP) — A guilty fire door was discovered today in the Cleveland Clinic X-ray room, the seat of the origin of an explosion yesterday. The door was discovered by a investigating committee early today.
Had the door worked, it would have shut off the room from the vest of the building and caused the deadly gas vented to the street through a vented door.
Experts disagreed regarding the nature of the gas that caused the deaths of 21 astronauts in a lunar fire, supposedly generated from X-ray films, were comparable to wartime nuclear weapons.
Dr. William Lower believed the gas was nitrate Peroxide. Dr. Harold Hareid used a mixture of hydrogen peroxide was of a bromine and iodine nature given off by blazing film coated with fluorine.
A tri-fold investigation was under way today to determine how the $500, 000 clinic was transformed so sud- dults could receive treatment of poison gas, flames and panic.
Governor Cooper announced all state agencies had been joining in the investigation. Coroner Pewar was to investigate the official committee was named by City Manager Hopkins to begin a hearing before noon. Authorities agreed that the blame lay in the X-ray storage facility. The story brick structure and that the deadly gas swirled from ignited X-ray film, but disagreed as to whether the clouds of dark yellow that swept out during the explosion were acetone, or bromine and iodine vapor.
Of the dead, all but four have been identified.
Included in the list of identified dead are several famous physicians and scientists, including the founders of the clinic, died last night.
