TECH ECHOES Q 1, Marshall, Borden, Lundquilt, Bliss, Rohrer, Ansley, Vinkle. Spectemur Agendo I The Specternur Agendo or S. A. club, increased -each school year by six students from the Engineering and Junior College student body, is the scholastic and activity honor society of Oregon Tech. To be chosen as a member of the club, the choosing being done by a student committee with the assistance and supervision of Mr. Percy Bliss, a member of the faculty, is indeed an honor. The students are judged and selected on the basis of a point system, each activity and each outstanding grade receiving points varying with their importance. Each new member receives a S. A. pin upon entering the society, the letters S. A. standing for Spectemur Agendo, Let us be known by our deeds. The club, a year organization, selects its members for outstanding work done in the fall and spring terms of the chronological year, rather than the school year. Con- sequently, of the six new members chosen this year only four are now attending, Carl Bowersox and Al Kroner having graduated in the spring of '34-. Two members of last year, Russell Borden and Berthalie Lundquist, are now attending school. The six students chosen for membership took part in various activities: Carl Bowersox served as president of the student body, 'spring term. Albert Kroner was active as secretary of the student body, spring term, and as editor of last year's Tech Echoes.

Jim Kirwan Alpha Rho Omega was originated in 1925 by a group of engineering students to encourage good fellowship and to promote social activity in the school. During the past year the fraternity has enjoyed various social functions including an inter-fraternity banquet with Delta Kappa Pi, a sport dance at Peninsula Golf Club, and an anniversary banquet at Kelly's Restaurant. The fraternity recently selected a book to present to the school library. Eight new men were received into Alpha Rho Omega during the yearg William Eggison, jim Kirwan, Bryan Hough, Joe Lebo, Roy Martin, Edwin Sheriff, Edgar Olsen, Lauren Fisher. Mr. Bliss, instructor in the engineering school ,was unanimously elected advisor of the fraternity and has been of great assistance in the functions of the group. The alumni of Alpha Rho Omega organized an Alumni Chapter, electing Dick Gordon as president. The function of this group is to keep in contact with all mem- bers of the fraternity not in school and to support the activities of the active members. Borden, Martin, Mussen, Himmel, Kirwan,
