SAD FACTS
It is with regret that THE OWL must pub-
ish the following statements. However we
feel that a realization of these facts will aid the
Engineering student-body. We ask you there-
fore to receive the following in an open frame
of mind. The Owl dance on Oct. 18th was one
of the best in the history of the fraternity.
When the receipts were checked it was found
that there had been 101 paid admissions and
about 20 complimentary admissions. The com-
plimentary admissions were given to the Bos-
ton College and Villanova football men. ~~
Of the 101 paid admissions 85 were engin-
cers. Of 214 engineers, 35 had shown their.
loyalty and goodwill. Are we to gather that
the 179 students who were not present were
home studying? If but 50% of the student en-
gineers had attended, the fraternity would
have showed a splendid profit. Is it asking. too
much?
Phi Kappa Pi meetings are poorly attended.
These meetings cannot be successful until the
attendance is up to the standard. It is you
who make or break the meetings. In all prob-
ability the faculty will reach the conclusion
that we do not desire a fraternity and will use
the period that is now set apart for the meet-
ings,
There is such a thing as indulging in too
many extra-curricula activities but there is also
such a thing as not taking sufficient interest in
outside activities. Strike the happy medium.
AS TO PROBABLE SUCCESS
In a recent letter from the personnel director
of a large corporation, the following unsolicit-
ed comment was received relative to the prog-
ress of one of our-1929 graduates: -.
“T am giving below the actual comments
received from the department as to the
progress of Mr. —_———_ who was graduat-
ed from Villanova in 1929,. ‘Mr. ———_ .
is doing satisfactory work, has a good per- .
sonality, is quite a mixer, has practical
ability, learns quickly, is aggressive and
certainly has possibilities for advancement.
At this time we would not attempt to sug-
gest the direction of his future advance- -
ment but he is starting out very. well’.”
Incidently the above remarks point out some
of the qualities which must go hand in hand -
with a sound intellectual training in order that
success may. be attained in this work-a-day
world.
HELP THE UNEMPLOYED!
Charity begins at home we are told. Conse-
quently in these days of wide unemployment when
everybody is engaged in ways and means to help
the unemployment, VILLANOVA ENGINEERS EM-
PLOYED should redouble their efforts to help
VILLANOVA ENGINEERS UNEMPLOYED. We
are glad to be able to say that in proportion to
the number ‘of our graduates we have a very small
list of unemployed. Please notify us of vacancies,
promptly.. We are able to supply immediately
three electrical engineers, two with previous ex-
perience as hell as three civil engineers with lim-
ited experience. .
