Neus Bureau
Established BY
TechStudents

For a long time there has been
an evident need for some sort of
q publicity bureau at Tech. and
Mr.. Erickson, a teacher of Tech,
was appointed chairman for the
publicity bureau some time ago
by Mr.. Daniel, the principal, and
was authorized to appoint rep
resentatives from the organizaE
tions of Tech. these members to
submit weekly a report OF the
past proceedings of their organ
izations to the Washington news
papers This formation, how
ever. proved inadequate as there
was no organized publicity. For
this reason several of our Tech
students have proceeded TO or
ganize a Tech student publicity
committee ct. s. p. c.. These
pupils obtained the o. X. of Mr..
Daniel and have really organized
live-wire publicity bureau.
This committee has a represen-
tstive from every recognizes
Tech activity. These members
elect chairman or presiding Of
hcer for the whole committee.
Mr.. Erickson was appointed fac
uity adviser. and Mr.. French, the
printing teacher, has consented
to sit on the committee as a
member. The first meeting or
the committee will be on Friday,
February 3. 1922. in the assembly
ball. II will be for the purpose
of introducing the. different
members and to start the T. >.
=. C. on its new program. n
constitutional committee will be
appointed, by the acting chair
man. which will draw up a con-
stitution for the committee. THIS
constitution will be presented to
the general organization at the
earliest time so that the COM
mtttee will then become a char
tered organization. and as such
will be able to draw on the G. o.
for funds.
The aim of the T. S. p. c. is
twofold: 1t Is going to make the
people of Washington realize
that they have a model. hign
school in their midst: 1T is also
going to make all Tech students
feel proud in that they are at
tending a school where everyone
has an equal. fair chance to
make the best of himself or her
SELF. A student Is worth what
he or she knows and can do her.
At Tech. nor what his or he,
father did in the past.
-@There are over 1000 people In
Washington interested in Tech.
We feel that il we do not keen
these people in close touch with
Us that we are negiecting our
duty as Techites- This. then, Is
our object. to keep student and
acquaintance In a cooperative
mood so that they will realize
the Importance of Tech and will
strive to make her the best
school in Washington.

Trice's whistle which he blew, in

Propaganda to this effect has resulted
in host Of inquiries directed - the

never have been in foreign trade.
Such inquiries. mainly concerning how
to go about obtaining foreign outlets
