W. a WOOD TALKS
TO ENGINEERS IN
THE COMMONS
Amendments Made
And Accepted To
Constitution
The Engineering Society held its
regular meeting Wednesday, January
24th, in the Commons, President
Luecke presiding. Several amend-
ments to the constitution were accept-
ed. According to these amendments
in the future there will be three
ciasses of membership—active, in-
active or honorary. The inactive
membership includes ail those in the
society who have not been initiated.
It is planned to hold an initiation for
a Ihrge number of new members on
Engineers' Day. Some day in April
wiil be chosen. These new amend-
ments require that aii candidates for
initiation must have been inactive
members in good standing for at least
one term prior to initiation. The so-
ciety has provided for a historian
whose duty it shaii be to search the
records of the past in an endeavor to
compile a complete history of the so-
ciety's activities since its organiza-
tion.
F. P. Brogniii was appointed chair-
man of a committee to provide for
an entertainment during the present
term.
Mr. W. E. Wood, generai manager
of the Houston Electric Co., made a
very interesting talk on the technical
executive in which he showed that
one of the most important phases of
our college life is the association and
persona! contact with our fellow stu-
dents. Mr. Wood extended the so-
ciety an invitation to visit any of the
plants of the Houston Electric Co.
He expressed his surprise to And such
an active, energetic organization at
the Rice Institute and suggested that
they make an effort to get into closer
contact with the business men of
Houston, believing that such a move-
ment would result in benefiting both
the schooT and the city.

the first of its kind to be given in this
part of the country. Mr. Tidden, who
was present At this affair, is giving
some very valuable suggestions for
both scenery and costumes. Later in
the term, sketches, suggesting possible
costumes, will be run in The Thresher.
It will be remembered that these sug-
gestions were a great help before the
Spanish ball, which was given by the
Archie Arts last year.
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Tidden there
is assisting Mr. Ellis, president of the
Architectural Society, in arrangement
and plans, Mr. James Chiilman, who
has been for the past four years in
Europe, and has recently returned to
resume his duties in the Architectural
Department.
Business arrangements for the Deep

space at the Autry House, the sale
of tickets will be limited.

NEW BUILDING FOR WORLD'S
LARGEST ATHLETIC
CLUB
Further impetus has been given to
the athletic activity of the 28,000 em-
ployees of the Hawthorne Works,
Western Electric Company, at Chi-
cago, by the action of the company's
board of directors in approving an ap-
propriation for the construction of a
iarge locker house to be buiit im-
mediately adjacent to the Memorial
Athletic Fieid. Work on the new
building will start eat-iy in the spring.
The new building is to be Colonial
in design, with a high-pitched dark
green siate roof, high dormers and
wide steps at each end and a row of
columns across the front, wiil over-
wide overhanging eaves. The walls
will be of brick with a stone and red
pressed brick trim. A large porch,
with wide steps at each end and a row
of columns across the front, will over-
take heed to the warning voices here-
lookthelicldto the south. Two
main entrances wiil iead from the
porch into the first door area, where
stairways win connect with the sec-
ond door and basement.
The interior construction will be
Hre-proof throughout. The Rrst Hoor
will contain lockers for men, with
shower baths and washrooms adjoin-
ing. Women athletes will utilize the
second Hoor, where lockers with the
same conveniences will be provided.
Another large locker space, with
showers and washrooms or the men
and boys will be loeated in the bese-
ment.
Since the Athletic Field was con-
structed two years ago, as a perma-
nent memorial to the 48 Western El-
ectric men who gave their lives in the
service, athletics at the works have
continued to boom untii today more
than 7,000 men, women and boys are
voluntarily taking part in some form
of sporing endeavor. At least twenty
different forms of athletics are in-
cluded in the program of the Athletic
Ctub.
