Oscar Hedlund, coach of the trackteam, and Richard L. Fossett, presi-

dent of the Senior class, are to be

the principal speakers at the last

freshman mass meeting before Field

day, to be held tomorrow afternoon

at five o'clock in room 10-250. Coach

Hedlund will talk on the necessity of

the sponsoring of Field Day by the

members of the freshman class, and

will attempt to raise the spirit of

the first year men for the following

day. As the representative of the In-

stitute Committee, Fossett will out-

line the aspect of the Committee on

Field Day. The captains of the vari-

ous freshman teams Grill be officially

announced. A large attendance is re-

quested, for it is necessary that all

men participating in any event be

present to receive Field Day instruc-

tians.At M~onday's meeting of section

leaders it was agreed to back the

Freshman-Sophomore Dance which is,

to be held on Friday, November 4 in

W~alkier. This meeting wvas heldl to

discuss the final details for Field Day

and makem plans for the occasion. The

first returns of the money being col-

lected to buy equipment were an-

nounced as totalling about thirty dol-

lars. Henry W. Eagall, '34, coach of

the football team made the purchase

yesterday of second-hand football

suits.

ahead of Roosevelt, w\ho finished close

behind with 300 vuotes. The Commun-

ist vote totalled 32.This referendum is the largest ever

'held at the Institute in any election.

It is twice as large as the greatest

vote compiled in Technology's history.

More than 65 per cent of the student

body took part in this straw vote

which differed from the results of the

recent Liberal Club Symposium,

wherein the Socialists won.Voting Was Continuous

Keeping the supervisors busy, a

continuous stream of voters entered

"and left the polls all day. President

Karl T. Compton cast his ballot early

in the morning and was followed by

Vice-President Bush and Dean Lob-

dell. The total faculty vote was 110,

88 percent of which was Republican.

Tabulations of the various classes

reveal that only the Senior and Jun-

ior Classes voted in accord with the

final result. The remaining classes

gavre the Democratic party preference

over the Socialist for second place, at

the samne time giving H~oover large

majlorities.

Veter's Opinion On Some Ballots

Among the many ballots cast were

several containing additional lines of

the voter's opinion. One Republicanl

vote advsocated not changing horses

in midstream, while another ballot

auas marked only "Bolshevism regime

preferred." A third ballot had a Re-

publican vote for Al Smith as presi-

dent and a fourth upheld the Probi-

hition party with Upshaw as a can-

didate.There was heavy voting in the early

morning and noon-time hours, when

most students and Faculty members

were not engaged with classes. At

Rogers Building on Boylston Street,

88 percent of the student body cast

ballots.

TIME EXTENDED FORTECHNIQUE SIGN-UPS

Af ter October 28 Seniors MustMake Own Appointments

Techniquee has extended the time

for Senior photographic sign-ups un-

til Friday, October 28, it was stated

y esterday. The managers believedthat since so few Seniors had -made

appointments, there must have been

some misunderstanding. Men Ahol

sign up before that date wvill have the

privilege of being photographed near

the Institute on tl e szecond floor of

the Coop building; otherwise, they

will have to make their own appoint-

ments and have the inconvenience of

getting pictures taken in Boston. The

year book has arranged the Warren

Kay Vantine Studios to make the

-ihotographs.

Plan Squash and BasketballTournaments and Also

Formal Dance

The Technology Interfraternity Con-

ference has decided definitely againstI

forming an interfraternity football

league. It was decided that the cost

of supplying the teams with equip-

ment would be prohibitive-, and that

if the teams played without suitable

equipment, any injuries resultingwould be put under the responsibilityof the Conference.

However, the Conference has de-

cided to hold a squash tournament, to

start probably on November 22, and

a basketball tournament, to startsome time in December or January.

December 9 is the date set for the

first Interfraternity Conference For-

mal Dance. The dance will proba-blyr be held at some hotel in Boston.So far,

Business Administrators ReviseOriginal Constitution for

New PurposeI

Corporation XVl will inaugurate a

liew procedure in the management ofi

their organization by placing more

emphasis con social activities and lessi

on business talks, it was announced 1

yesterday. This change was decidedt

uPon at a -meeting ox1 the Faculty Ad-Vrisors, in view of the fact that the-re

arc, so many speakers in the course

itself, and that it would be in the

best interest of the members to deal

vith social activities in connection

With their professional associations.

To make this change in the prin-

ciPles of the organization it will be

'necessary to revise the constitution,

thus making possible the combination

of Social activities and business talks

at the meetings. The annual eventsof Corporation XV, the midyear in-

dustrial tour, and the stock specula-

Ition contest, will be continued.

|Another important change this year

Iis in the functioning of the organiza-tion. To prevent the delay experi-|enced at the beginning of previous

years, Junior and Sophomore direc-

tors are to be appointed to take'barge of 'he organization.

The purpose of this step is to helpacquaint men with the work of the

corporation. Com-petition for posi-

tions as directors and officers of the

organization will begin in a few days.

President James W. Vicary, '33, said

that many students have shown in-

terest in the new plan, and that the

revised constitution is expected to

meet with the approval of both stu-

dents and Faculty.

CLASS TEAMS AREREADY FOR ANNUALBATTLE ON FRIDAY

Both Classes Are Confident ofVictory; Battle To Be

Hard-Foughth

CLASSES HOLD MEETINGS

With the annual Sophomore-fresh-man battle in the offing, class spirit

is again raising the opposing groups

to a fighting pitch. Members of both

classes express confidence, and com-

petition is so keen that the struggle

on Field Day promises to be hard-fought.

The class leaders are rounding up

their cohorts, and the freshmen will

hold a mass meeting on Thursday at

five o'clock in room 10-250 to make

final plans for the event. Richard

Fossett, president of the Senior class,

will speak, and give instructions about

Field Day regulations.The first event of the day, and one

of the most i-lportant in point value,

is the crew race, to be held at 7:45 in

the morning. It starts at the boat-

house, and ends directly in front of

Walker Memorial. Though some men

may have to get up a little earlier

than usual to see the event, it is urged

that as many Sophomores and fresh-

men as possible be at the scene of

action to cheer the respective crews.Tug-o'-War is First Event

The first pull in the tug-o'-war con-

test initiates the afternoon events. At

1:50 the first half of the football

game starts, and at 2 :35, the relay

race. The second pull in the tug-o'-

war is scheduled for 2:50, and inime-Eiately following this, at 3 :00.4the

<eond~h alf of the football game is be-

gun. If a third, pull is necessary, it

will take place at 3:45.The most spectacular part of the pro-

gram, the glove fight, is to be staged

at 4:50, and from recent demonstra-tions of rivalry between the lower

classes, one may expect the contend-

ing groups will put on an exhibition

to rival the gladiatorial combats of

the Romans.A banquet for the athletes who par-

ticipate in the day's events will be

held in the North Hall of Walker Me-

morial at 6 :00, and is sponsored by

the Field Day Committee. Dr. Arthur

Rockwell is to be toastmaster; Presi-

dent Karl T. Compton and Dean Har-

old BE. Lobdell, '17, will also be pres-

ent.The following additions to the mar-

shal and usher lists havre been made:

0mar H. Somers, '33, a marshal; and

Paul Davis, '34, an usher.

All Sophomores a n d freshmen

should take especial notice of the fact

that their classes pay for damage they

cause to Institute property. The dam-

age is not paid for by the Institute.

T.C.A. CampaignV; ill Start U4 ithDinner at % alderChristian Association Workers

Will Learn PsychologyOf Soliciting

In order to bring together the men

who are to assist in the coming finan-

cial drive of the Technology Christian

Association, the annual drive dinner

will be held tomorrow night in the

North Hall of Walker at 6:15. One

hundred and twenty-five fraternity

heads, free-lances, members of the

mum amount of money from the stu-

dent body.Professor F. K. Morris and Pro-

fessor F. A. Magoun will address the

Soph Mlass MeetingSet For Tomorrow

Quadrangle Club Calls MeetingIn Attempt To Raise

Class Spirit

In co-operation with the president

of the Sophomore class, the Quadran-

gle Club is sponsoring a mass meeting

for the second year men to be held

tonaorrowv at 5 o'clock in room 5-330.

The last meeting of the class was a

big disappointment to everybody. The

attendance was small and little inter-

est wvas shiow,.n in regards to Field

Day by those that were present. For

this reason, the Quadrangle Club will

try to revive any spirit that may be

left amuong the members of the class

prior to the clash with the freshmen,

Friday.Edward J. Collins, president of the

Sophomore class, will preside at the

meeting and prominent members of

the Quadrangle Club will give short

pep talks.

BOYS OR MEN?THE first step in the investigation of the Walker Memorial

"TCafeter ia begins tomorrow. Questionnaires will be dis-

tributed throughout the dormitories, in an effort to sound out

the opinions of those who use the Cafeteria continually. There

have been -numerous complaints leveled against -the food and serv-

ice, and many have resorted to eating at nearby restaurants. The

purpose of the questionnaire is to collect these objections for con-

sideration, along with any recommendations obtained.It is theref ore to the interest of the Dormitory residents that

they give serious thought to filling out the set of questions and in

off ering suggestions. There will probably be the usual number of

boys who will insist on making a joke of a serious matter, but the

number is small, and the information from the many will be valu-

able.The investigation lasts for a period of one month, and it is

the aim of the Committee to advance at the end of this time, some

definite suggestions for making Walker Memorial the place we

want to go to for meals. If the Committee goes about the task in

the proper spirit and carries on its investigation in an unpreju-

diced manner, the results will be valuable. The efforts of the

Committee can be made even more effective by wholeheartedundergraduate cooperation.

WHAT NO ABDUCTIONS ?IT is with increasing surprise and alarm that we view a rapidlyapproaching Field Day, and as yet, no kidnappings. In the

past someone was always kidnaped, and Field Day just won't beField Day if somebody important isn't spirited to some outlyingtown, there to languish until the Great Day is past.

Perhaps the Freshman class is a bit non-plussed as to whomto capture. In former years some important personage of theSophomore class has been the object of its attentions, failing di-rect assault upon the president of the class, himself. LackingEdison scholars, this seems to be the only possibility this year.

However., the day is yet to dawn when some genius of classaffairs will rise and lead the way to the abduction of all the Soph-omore officers and then make them nest on their own eggs. Thatgentlemen, would be the coup d' 6tat.

WHITHER THE WIND BLORTETHR ESULTS of yesterday's presidential straw vote indicate thatthere is a strong Technology wind blowing f or the return of

Hoover to the White House on November 8. Even stronger thanthe student evidence of Republican preference is that of the Facul-ty which cast an 88 percent vote f or Hoover, with the remaindersplit about evenly between Roosevelt and Thomas.

While it was generally conceded that Hoover would win atTechnology by a substantial majority, it was hardly expected thathe would obtain more than two-thirds of the total vote. Roose-velts weakness and the strength of Thomas were quite surprising.'The Communist vote was even smaller than anticipated.

Engineer Hoover polled his largest vote in the School of Engi--neering -where young engineers think the President's acts warranthis return for another term. The School of Architecture had thelargest percentage of Democratic votes; the School of Sciencegave the largest majorities to the Socialist and Communist par-ties. Any desired inference may be read into these results.

While a variety of reasons might be given to account for thelarge Technology majority for Hoover, both student and faculty,the underlying one is that the Institute is located in a section ofthe country that is traditionally conservative and most of its stu-dents are drawn from families permeated with this conservatism.We are satisfied with the status} quo and are hesitant to make achange in leadership at what we consider to be a critical time.New England has this attitude; what better than to expect thatwe have it too.

The shouting, and the tumult dies,the electioneers and saps who get ex-cited about it all, depart, the life ofthe Institute resumes much of itsformer placidity. In short dearfriends, the straw vote has ended,even if the wind continues to blow.

However, it all goes to show thatthe Institute as a mechanical system,is conservative. Sure, didn't Hoovertake the cake? Of course, we don'tmind him taking the cake, as he didin '28, but this business of spilling themilk, besides, is a little too much.

There is a little wonder connectedin the Lounger's mind with the waythe Democratic vote all seemed to beseared over to the Socialist side. Onewonders if this is the result of Gar-ner's witty persiflage as the Speakerof the House, or whether the sloganfor the Democratic campaign did it.

"Hee Haw, we're coming back."may sound all right to a certain typeof mind, but we are consoled for ourapparent lank of appreciation forwhatever subtle intellectual connota-tions it may contain, by the thoughtthat-, after all, any jackass can saythat.

Whether the boys know it or not,the Lounger had his finger in the pie,all right, all right. He was r ightthere yesterday afternoon, helpingthem ballot and unless somethingwent wrong, a greasy little individualfrom the Mirror got his picture. Well,that's seven year's bad luck right offthe bat, because it's sure to break it.

Our one good looking coed, and theLounger will stand on that (not thecoed, of course) came up to cast 'her'ballot, but never a tumble. Evidentlythe brutal assaults of her classmates( '36 ) have only gone to strengthenher defenses, more's the pity. TheLounger was not only ostracised, whyshe'd hardly speak to him!

While we were wondering about itall, someone called our attention tofact that Hoover has a two-thirdsmajority. Hurrah, he's ratified!

Speaking as we are of nothing moreor less than so much hot air, we feelconstrained to speak of the comingField Day.

We understand on very excellentauthority that those intrepid travelersin the highways and byways of life,those daring seekers after the day'snews, come what may, those courag-eous and dashing devils we see perchedhigh above the boiling cauldrons ofdanger, even these supermen of thenewsreel, have been asked to take afew scenes of the coming Sophomnorefreshman melee.

However, they have refused to ap-pear until the major part of therougher activities have ended. Theyare afraid of being bombed with afew of our excellent eggs. Shucksfellows, they should watch a Betabarn dance.

Forsaking these unique topics, wewish to waft our gentle readers backto the more prosaic topics of every-day life. The transition now havingbeen effected cleverly, the brilliantauthor resumes his narrative on an-other tack, only he's a little tactlessthese days.

The Lounger is a bit uncertain asto the amount of interest that greatand teeming mass of his avid fol-lowers display in Theoretical Physics,but he did overhear Professor Frankmention the fact that a Bessel func-tion was similar to a damped sinewave. A g-d damped sine wave, we'dsay.

FINE ARTS THEATRE'Das Floetenkonzert Von Sanssouci"Slow motion interrupted once by a

wild-westernish type of horse race,wherein the hero is pursued by the"bad men" only that he may shinemore brightly because of his success-ful escape, characterizes "Das Floeten-konzert von Sanssouci", the featurepicture this week at the Fine ArtsTheatre. The film is based on a his-toric episode in the life of Frederickthe Great of Prussia.

Using the complaints of the Kingof Saxonia, together Austria, Franceand Russia plot to conquer Prussiaand divide it amongst themselves. ThePrussian envoy to the court of Sax-onia learns of the plot and informshis emperor via the hero of the pic-ture, a major in the army of Freder-ick and a pseudo-musician. Frederick,by showing the envoys from the plot-ting countries that he is prepared forwar, averts it. Interwoven into themain plot; is one involving the musi-cian-major and his wvife. She iswearied of sitting at home and wait-ing for her husband who is foreverperforming missions for his emperorand succumbs at length to the pro-posals of a villainous suitor. She issaved, however, by the wisdom of theking and all ends well.

RKO KEITHI'SA Bill of Divorcement

"A Bill of Divorcement", the latestcinema at the new Keith's presentsJohn Barryinore in one of the finestvehicles of his stage and screen ca-reer. Two exceptional debuts tosound pictures are also made by BillieBurke and Katherine Hepburn.

The story, a protege of Broadway,deals with the readjustment to life ofa shell-shocked soldier. His wvife hasgrown away from him during hisoverseas absence, and when he real-izes that she actually fears him, heceases his struggles to regain her.His daughter trys to console him.She too has lost i love, because shehas learned that her father suffersfrom more than shellshock, and thatinsanity might crop out in her familyin another generation.

Miss Hepburn's renunciation of herlover, and Barrymore's realization ofthe loss of his wife are the dramatichighspots of the photoplay. MissHepburn's beauty and finished actingpromises another star for the talkingscreen, while Barrymore rises to un-sealed heights. Miss B~urke does notbelie her reputation as an actress.

The vaudeville is hardly better thanmediocre. Lina B[asquette, of Holly-wood fame, and the usual slapstickersand novelties fill out,- the bill.

At the "Boston" we have an oldtheme presented in rather a novel'way. There is the poor, lonely girl,played by lovely Helen Chandler, whofalls into the clutches of the richyoung villain who can "give her allthe things she ought to have". Beingan innocent little girl, she accepts hisoffer and gets herself into a jam con-cerning a murder, as usually happensin such cases. Then there is the big,handsome detective who has to choosebetween his duty and his heart.

There are plenty of thrills andheart-throbs, the radio police beingneatly woven into the story in sucha manner as to give an idea of theinner workings of the system.

Liberals Have Many and VariedOpinions On Military

Science

Opinions on compulsory MilitaryScience in education at Monday'smeeting of the Liberal Club were sodiversified that not a great deal in theway of conclusions was obtainable.

In order to have a more orderlydiscussion three short preparedspeeches will be given at the next reg-ular meeting, Thursday, November 3,room 4-231. "Pacifist's Viewpoint onWar", "Aggressive Opposition toWar" and the "Militant Point ofView" are the -subjects. After thespeeches an open forum will be held.

The Board Committee reported thatit was unable to procure a bulletinboard for posting clippings of politi-cal and economic interest. No satis-factory proposal was offered formeans of getting this board. Theclub has written to officials of theCity College of New York for in-formation concerning Oakley Johnson,who claims that he was dismissedfrom the instructing staff for outsideparticipation in Communist activities.

Dr. Karl T. Compton will addressthe club on November 10, in room4-231 at 5 o'clock. The officers of theclub invite all to be present.

T e Sports Desk

Coach Goldie's soccer team hasbeen playing a fine game lately, buthas met with a streak of particularlybad luck. A week ago the Institutebooters dropped a 1 - 0 heartbreaker toDartmouth, and followed that lastSaturday by playing Brown to a tiein the regular periods and then suffer-ing a momentary relapse in the over-time session. If they continue theirpresent good form, they should beable to chalk up their first victoryhere next Saturday against Bridge-rater.

Glancing at the basketball schedule,we have a feeling that P. T. Mc-Carthy is going to have a nice teamthis year. Nine of the team's elevengames are scheduled for the homecourt, on which last year's team wasundefeated. That and the fact thatfour regulars are back makes every-thing look rosy, providing the Coachcan dig up a man to fill Harry John-son's shoes at center.

The Sophomore football team hadtheir first workout last Friday up atHarvard. Against the second Har-vard freshmen, they looked rather'ragged for the first few minutes, butafter about ten plays they started tofunction and gave a good perform-ance, especially on the defense. The]main fault seemed to be unfamiliaritywith the plays, but that should beironed out by Field Day. It looks likea powerful team, and will give thefreshmen plenty to worry about.

Around the boathouse there are

forthcoming Field Day crew race ismentioned. It seems to be the generalopinion that the freshmen are fullyas strong as the Sophomore fiftiesthey will oppose. Coach Dunning ofthe yearlings has a lot of big fellowsto work with, including Smith, whostroked last year's freshman FieldDay eight. It looks like a real racethis year.

The oarsmen will work under thesame conditions as last fall. Theywill start at the boathouse and finishdirectly in front of Walker Memo-rial, and lapstreaks will be used in-stead of the regular racing shells.

That Technology is a pleasant place

in which to work and that its students

form a group of anhitionms votng

men, is the general opinion of the 45

janitors who care for the Institute

Buildings. Few students pay much

heed to the men who wipe off the

blackboards between classes, yet they

form an integral part of Technology's

staff.Each janitor is assigned a certain

section of one of the Institute build-

ings and cares for about 1 20,000

ssquare feet of floor space. Some sec-

tionls are composed mainly of class-

rooms, others contain offices, but the

amount of space which each man

mnust clean is approximately the same.

Those caretakers who have charge

of the classrooms develop a knack of

erasing blackboards and require only

a few moments to erase those assigned

to them. Although there is no set time

for washing floors, each man cleans

those of his section about once a week.

If there is a spell of wet weather, the

floors must be cleaned more frequent-

ly, for then, much dirt is tracked into

the buildings.Besides the 45 men who care for

the Institute by day there is a group

of '21 men and women who clean the

buildings during the night.An individual bell signal is assigned

to each man. Upon hearing his call,

the janitor goes to the nearest Insti-

tute telephone and receives his instruc-

tions from the Superintendent's cffice.

There are now more applicants for

janitors' jobs than ever before. Major

Albert S. Smith, Superintendent of

Buildings, said that men competent

to do a high type of work have sent

in their applications.
