recompense for their bravery. However wedon't feel that these privileges should includethe sole right to view the colored motionpictures of Institute sport activities, whichwere shown publicly for the first, and only,time at the last All-Tech Smoker.

A special showing or showings should bemade of this half-hour movie, perhaps inHuntington Hall, whrich would be open toall students and staff members. Such a show-ing this term would offer many advantages.First it would enable everybody interested inInstitute sports to see the participants, inaction. Second, it would enable the partici-pants to see themselves as athletic ClarkGables.

Third-it certainly wouldn't hurt any ofthe sports concerned to get a really goodshot of free publicity. Fourth-we're still go-ing strong-there is a fast growing interest inInstitute sports, and free moving pictures ingeneral that will guarantee a capacity audi-ence at any showings of such sports pictures.This interest in movies has been indicated byattendance at "All quiet on the WesternFront", and the Edgerton "Quicker'n aWink" picture.

The original purpose of the films, now theproperty of the Walker Memorial Commit-tee, was to offer an interesting substitute atthe All-Tech Smokers for the old series ofdry after-dinner talks, and the sport exhibi-tions given in Walker Gym after the Smoker.However, there appears to be no definitereason why the whole school can not be af-forded the privilege of seeing the only fullcolor films of Institute life in existence.

the pulchritude of its students, hasbeen studying at the Bishop LeeDramatic School here in Boston. For

the last two summers she has beernplaying in summer theater stock atEasthampton, Long Island, and in NewEngland "little theaters".

The show will feature Connie sing-ing- a nlumber of new sollgs writtenespecially for her by several of theyoung songwriters ill the group. .

An interesting bit of the play is a

satirical sketch on the recently pro-posed system of requirinlg applicants

for admission to "Hah-vahd" to passmor als and virtues tests. Previewglimpses of this skit indicate thatthe upthe-river boys are in for a bit

of a ribbing.

Dinner Dance Goes Over

Also on the calendar for Fridaylnight is the Dorm Dinner Dance you've

been reading so much about. Earlierpessimistic views of the affair seem

to have been a little prematurebecause at present writing it's up intothe black and still climbing. Don

HOORAY FOR THE BRONZE RATIt is a great day for the Old Guard since

the "Bronze Rat" has once more been upheld.A large majority of those voting in theJunior-Senior class referendum Wednesdaywere 'in favor of the present ring. The votewas decisive and there should be no doubt inanyone's mind that public opinion felt thatthe proposed ring was not superior enough todisplace the present ring from its throne oftradition.

However, while the iron is still hot, wewish to bring forth a few points. It is evi-dent from the f act that about half of theJunior and Senior classes voted in the poll(polls usually being looked upon with dis-dain by the student body) that, the studentsare interest-ed in the ring. Also, since over athird of the votes were for the new ring andmany voters expressed the opinion that it wasa choice of two evils, some dissatisfactionwith the present ring must still exist.

Nothing can be done for the Class of 1941as the episode is officially closed with the re-sults of the poll, but it is well within thejurisdiction of the Class of 1942 to continueinvestigation of the ring situation. An activecommittee should be appointed which willmake a complete survey of the job. One ofthe main faults with the past ring committeewas that they were not able to off er any selec-tion from which the class might choose. Inthe fall. -olk, all SCour olI the samples were ofthe same basic design and were the work ofstudents in the Architecture department.

The new committee should approach themajor ring companies and ask them to sub-mit suitable designs for a possible class ring,outlining the need for a serviceable, durable,yet attractive ring. The present ring wasthe result of professional designs submittedby ring companies. At the same time, repre-sentative alumni should be consulted becauseof the tradition they consider tied up in thepresent ring. Any new ring should have thetacit approval of the alumni.

After a suitable selection of styles andshapes has been obtained, a class poll shouldbe reconducted to give the "Bronze Rat" afair fight. Theti, and only then, should a finaldecision concerning the class ring be ren-dered. At any rate, regardless of the methodby which it is handled, the matter of a classring should not be dropped at this time whilethere- 'is still considerable criticism of thepresent ring.

LIGHTS, CAMERA-NOW ACTIONFar be it from us to imply that those cour-

ageous souls who dare enter these sacredportals as f reshmen are not entitled to someprivileges denied upperclassmen, as a sort of

Men in power have at last come to realizethat the common people might have somegood ideas, and it is Up to the Technologystudent, although not one of the commonpeople of course, to cooperate to the fullestextent possible. The latest of the authoritiesto appeal for public aid are Herr Hitler ofthe city of Berlin and His Honor, MayorTobin, of the city of Boston. Although ofwidely different interests, both appeals shouldappeal to the scientifically minded under-graduate.

Der Fuehrer started the parade by his re-quest for American opinion in twenty-firewords or less, to be cabled collect. As yethe has not announced the prizes for thebrand contest, nor has he required that oneEnglish scalp or a reasonable facsimile thereofbe subnmitted with each entry. Other scien-:ifically minded individuals have figured outjust how many entries would have to be sub-mitted to make the cable charges equal tothe cost of five Messerschmitt Fighters.

In the spirit of democracy, it is the inviol-able duty of every Institute student who canexpress his opinions on the world situationin twenty-five words or less to forward themto the man with the little black moustache.In view of the fact that there are very fewphrases which are more typically Americanthan the "twenty-five words or less", thissilould not be a dificuit task. Then, too,most of the people do not really know morethan twenty-five words about the world sit-uation so it is the opinion of this column thatthe request is certainly fair.

A little closer to home is the appeal of HisHonor for aid in solving the traffic problemthat has just been discovered in Boston'sMetropolitan area. Fortunately, there wasno word limit set to the advice that can beoffered under this topic. The only restric-tion that has been placed is that some con-structive criticism should be included if atall possible.

Actually, some of the future City Plan-ning engineers and others interested in suchproblems might be able to lend considerableinformation to the city authorities about thisproblem, which they appear to be attackingin earnest. It is a problem that vitally affectsa large percentage of the students duringtheir career at the Institute. It also calls thebluff of those who complain about taking anhour to get across the Harvard bridge onoccasions, and the impossibility of findingparking space in downtown Boston at any-time. It is the old adage of "put up or shutup". At least it is a' chance to show thatTechnology students have a little interest inthe community in which they gain theireducation.

Timed to the split second, directedwith a master's hand, The Philadel-phia Story is playing at Loew's Stateand Orpheum theaters,

The Philadelphia Story was a goodplay: one of Philip Barry's best. But

in the opinion of this reviewer, the

motion pcture excels the play in enter-tainment value. The lines are not quite

down to the level of the Broadway,production-the public mind must notbe polluted-but are sitill efficient atrolling 'em in the aisles. The mediumof the -movies allows more breadth oftreatment: except for the self-censor-ship feature it has most of the ad-vantages of the stage in the way of

,production.Casting of The Philadelphia Story

was a real accomplishment. KatherineHepburn is excellent as the pamperedMain Line heiress who, divorced from

her first husband (a prince of a gent),is about to marry another (a heel),and is compromised by an escapadewith a reporter sent to cover her

marriage. Hepburn, Cary Grant andJimmy Stewart make a lively trio, andthey pounce eagerly on all the barbs

with which the play is qpeppered. ClareBooth and her pen have nothing on

Philip Barry.Our only objection is that the story

is about a breed in society that shouldbe smacked hard, Lot tweaked gently.But you will laugh continuously, andremember the show for a long time.If you like sophisticated comedy, this

is your dish.Tara! Tara! It's an Epic. Just ask

the producer. H udson's Bay, whichhas been playing at Keith's Memoriallately, is a story of Northern Canada,replete with fur traders, Indians, and

Paul Muni. A little slow, with HighMotives flying around here and there,but nevertheless a really good show

for our money. Paul Muni is a sensi-tive player as Pierre Radisson, philo-sophical fur trader, even if he doestalk too much. Laird Cregar does agood job with the comedy relief. Allin all, it is an entertaining picture.We liked it.I

Semnors To inmBy The Sports Staff I

A future star for Tech's track

alls was born' on Mlonday in Ogdens-

urg, New Yiork. Congratulations to

oach Oscorl Hedlulud on the birth

f a lgandson.

"The most far-reaching step ever

aken to popularize sailing and yacht

racing" is what the magazine Yacht-

ing calls the program being inaugur-

ated this-spring to bring dinghy sail-

ing within reach.of everyone in Boston.

i ech's Nautical Association is taking

n active part in the work of the

ewly formed Community Sailing Asso-

iation which under the directorship

Jack Wood has already built a

eautiful new boathouse on the Bostonide of the Charles near the Long-dlow bridge.

The dinghies of a new design byrofessor George Owen of the Navalrchitecture Department are rapidly

iealing completion, and by June 1lie program should be in full swing.ccording to Jack Wood, the commit-

ee in charge is "primarily interestedreaching the youngsters who would

therwise not be able to afford sailingf ally kind." To aid in financing thisIan the Sailing Association is accept-

ng adult college, sea scout and otherroup memberships who will ,beharged a fee ranging from $i5 to $5year for a certain number of hours

f sailing and training. For the kidsfrom the streets of Boston the fee

yill be only twenty-five cents a month.

The new boathouse plans to use thesystem developed and used so suc-O.essfully here at Tech. Members willbe ranked on their relative skill inhandling the boats and their knowl-

ge of sailing learned through shoreihois. Already, settlement houses in

e Boston and Cambridge slum areasHre setting up sailing clubs; and withl small model designed by Jack Woodand built by the Hobby Shop workers,Ire teaching the would-be-sailors themarts and ways of the new dinghies.

College yachting groups who haveteen forced to use Tech's SailingLvillion will have a place il the pro-am of the new organization. Shore

hools are being started at Radcliffe,rvard, Tufts, Northeaste n, Bostoniversity, and Boston College with

Dchmen Dick Knapp, Dick Gibson,ans Aschaffenbarg, Jim Tyson,,hnny "Butch" Carleton, and Frankolk to help lead the program at thespective schools.

The new boathouse will be open toe college groups on May 1, a monthrlier than others, so that when theand opening takes place the staff11 be prepared and a nucleus willready to take charge. Much praisedue Jack Wood for the Mart hes taken in working for and direct-I the new program. Juvenile delin--ncy is expected to be lessened by

Beaver IcemenGo On Rampage

Final Spurt Too LateAs B. C. Pucksters

Win Hockey Game, 14.6Tech went on its first rampage of

the hockey season Tuesday night inthe Boston Arena. It was about twentyminutes too late in starting. Yet itwas very impressive to watch andheartwarming to the few Beaver spe,-tators who sat in on the B3oston C(!1-

lege game. When the high sprayingice settled back on the Arena fo~r,

Tech stalked out with six goals scoredagainst -the champion club in EasternHockey.

That B. C. scored 14 times was in-

cidental considering the fact that B.C.had been outplayed for over a period,that B. C. hadn't been pressed so hardby any other team in the East over

any similar stretch of game time, andthat no other team tallied so manygoals so freely as did the Beavers inthat last period and a fraction.

B. C. Takes Lead

The first period was entirely BostonCollege. Dumond tallied three times,Chaisson once with three assists,Boudreau once and Sullivan once. The

second period started to duplicate thefirst as Chaisson, Mee, Boudreau andMaguire scored in quick succession.The score was ten to nothing. ThenNat Sage, out with a bad leg most ofthe season sparked the Engineer of-fense to its big splurge. Twice hetook passes from sub wing Hart andtwice he whipped the puck by thesprawled out Eagle goalie. B. C. addedtwo goals before the period ended.

But Tech wasn't finished.. Blanch-

ald and Hart soloed in quick succes-sion and sank two more for Tech.

Small caught the fever and soloed in,passed to Blanchard and another

Beaver goal dented the strings. And

the Beavers still Ted hot whipped an-other goal in when Waller took a pass

Wrestlers TryFor Second WinAgainst Springfield

Fettes, Carleton,Byfield Stand Out;Frosh Are Strong

Aftel weighing in at 8 o'clock this

Saturday morning the varsity wres-

tling squad will make the journey to

Springfield College where they are ex-

pected to meet the season's stiffest

competition.

Fettes, who has been undefeated-throughout his career as a Tech wres-tler, and Capt. Carleton are expectedto win their two out of the eightmatches to be fought. Byfield, whoweighs only 1$0 pounds, may have toface a heavyweight opponent weigh-ing over 200 pounds, but he has comethrough in strong. competition before.

Although Frank Seeley has won onlyhis most recent match, he has beensteadily improving since enteringteam competition this year. If he andByfield win, and Carleton and Fettes

come through in usual form, the toughSpringfield team may be humbled.

Frosh Excel

The best freshman team in manyyears is scheduled to swamp SuffieldAcademy this Saturday. With two35-5 victories to their credit againstMoses Brown Academy and Harvardfreshmen, and no defeats, the Beaver

freshmen have only the Springfieldmatches to fear. The Springfieldfrosh tilt will come two weeks hence.

5-0 by the powerful University Clubteam last night, Coach Summers feels

that the Beavers stand a good chanceto win tomorrow against Wesleyan inview of the spirited 3-2 victory overTrinity last week. The matches will

begin at 8 P.M. Friday when Freeman,Corney, Sheetz, Mar, and Oszy willtilt with Buafham, Lamb, Marsh, Ray-mond, and Wing of Wesleyan

Geology Department, addressed the

Technology chapter of Sigana Xi, hon-

orary; scientific research fraternity, on

the subject of "Man's Relation to the

Earth," last Tuesday, February 18 at

4 pum. in Eastman Hall.

Professor Shrock, who is espcially

interested in Paleontology and His-

torical Geology, gave the second of a

series of talks on the subject of "Man's

Relation to His Environment." The

previous lecture was on "Mdan's Rela-

tion to the Cosmos," and the lecture

which is still to be delivered will deal

writh "Man's Relation to Man."

Shrock Explains Evolution

Professor Shrock based his lecture

on the two aspects of evolution: the

evolution of organic life, culminating

in the production of man; and the

way in which man has changed his

habits in seeking to adapt himself

more perfectly to his environment.

As a Geologist, Professor Shrockpointed out the relative youth of manas compared to the age of the world,and attempted to convince his audi-ence of its relative insignificance asfar as time was concerned.

Traces Speciai ization

In a series of artistically executed
