Andre Malraux, noted French writ-er and author of the well-knownnovels, "Man's Fate", and "Days ofWrath," and Louis Fischer, ForeignCorrespondent for the "Nation,"spoke last night on the Spanish war,at a meeting sponsored by the Har-vard Teacher's Union and HarvardStudent Union. A crowd of nearly1000) filled the New Lecture Hall atHarvard to hear the speeches.
Speaking first, Mr. Fischer, who re-cently returned from the Spanishfront, explained the present conflictin the light of the past history ofSpain. The revolt was, he said, aneffort by royalist and conservativegroups to "drive Spain back into thedark ages.." Up to a few years ago,he explained Spanish society was al-most medieval in its primitiveness.Since the end of monarchy, its historyhas been that of a succession of Rightcabinets undoing the progressive workof the Left, who were trying to better
the wvretched living conditions of the80% peasant population.
That the present government is thelegal Spanish government, he said,there is no doubt. Disregarding thefact that the "Popular Front" waselected by a majority of the people,it had been shown in innumerableways that the sympathies of the bulkof the people was with the Valenciagovernment, he stated, citing the caseof Malaga where, before the insur-gent occupation, 80% of the popula-tion fled the city, in what he called"'A vote of non-confidence in Franco,"
Denying that the war was anti-re-ligious in character, Mr. Fischer saidthat it was rather the church andclergy that was opposed. In spite ofthe fact that almost everyone in Spainis Catholic, he stated that the bulk ofthe powerful church forces sided withthe insurgents, except in the Basque

Editor, The Tech: To chlear up anymisunderstanding that may havearisen, the letter which appeared inlast Tuesday's edition of The Techconcerning The American StudentUnion, came from the ExecutiveCommittee of that organization andwas signed by myself as Secretary.The purpose of that letter was to"expound the views and aims" of theA.S.U. 'Opposed to the indifferenceand splendid isolation of The Ferret,as evidenced by his remarks,, we pro-pose to take action, not only on theissue of the Teacher's Oath but on amultitude of other social issues, anddo what we can do.

ment, but to every graduate. In thenew edition of the "Chemical Who'sWho" are the graduates of 456 Amer-ican and 49' foreign institutes orhigher learning. These men representthe real industrial and technical lead-ership in the field of American chem-istry, and the number of M.I.T. grad-uates who have won outstandingpositions is indeed impressive."
Last winter, Mr. Haynes, also tnepublisher of "Chemical Industries",lectured under the auspices of theChemical Department on the Econ-omics of Synthetic Raw Materials, asubject on wlhich he is a recognizeauthority, as he is one of the cour,-try's best known economists. Duringthe compilation of the 1937 edition ofthe "Chemical Who's Who", he col,-lected statistics on the hobbies olchemical leaders and found that golf:leads all others by a big margin,ihaving 1044 devotees with fishingsecond, 659; gardening third, 465.
Vol. LVII. MARCH 9, 1937 No., "LITTLE SYMPIHO!\Y"Editor, The Tech: There is an undergraduate activ-
ity here at Technology which is seemingly unknownto most of the student body. I refer to the M. I. T.Orchestra or the ';Little Symphony", as it was onceknown. During my five years with the Orchestra Ihave encountered many students who were absolutelyunaware that such an organization existed. The re-sult is that many students with musical training havemissed an excellent opportunity to keep up their activecontact with good music.
This year, with the much appreciated help of theInstitute Committee, the Orchestra was fortunateenough to secure as coach Mr. Jacques Hoffmann, anoted violin pedagogue and soloist. Mr. Hoffmann wasfor many years a prominent member of the firstviolins of the Boston Syrmphony Orchestra and' hasappeared many times as soloist with that organiza-tion. He was also concertmaster and guest conductorof the "Pops" orchestra. At Wellesley and BostonUniversity Mr. Hoffmann has conducted student or-chiestras and he is now leader of the Lincoln Sym-phony Orchestra, one of the finest organizations ofits kind in and around Boston.
Mr. Hoffmann has coached our orchestra of thirtypieces for the first term with excellent results. Themembers have been afforded a real chance to playsome of our best music as it should be played- underthe baton of a thorough and accomplished musician.
There are still vacancies in all sections of the or-chestra which should easily be filled. All students andmembers of the faculty with any orchestral or suit-able musical experience are invited to a Tuesday eve-ning rehearsal at seven o'clock in Room 2-390 so thatthey may talk to Mr. Hoffmann and perhaps take partin the rehearsal. Non-musicians are also invited toattend rehearsals so that they may enjoy the workthat is being done.

SECOND YEAR IS TIME ENOUGH This coming Saturday the swords-men meet Harvard at Harvard. i-GEORGE R. ROBINSON, G.HE eagerness with which the freshmen
have flocked to Course Counselling din- COURSE-COUNSELLINGEditor, The Tech: The commendable efforts of the
graduates to "course-counsel" the freshmen havewoven into a successful plan. Many of us who attendedlast Tuesday night were enthusiastic at having beenable to discuss our curricular problems with Tech menwho have "gone through the mill." We feel sincerelyappreciative of all that is being done for us by thosewho are giving their time for our benefit.
Near the close of the dinner the counsellors all sug-gested that we speak to the professors in charge ofthe different departments. But as several of my class-mates have agreed, a freshman is rather reluctant towalk in on a professor whom he has never met. I waswondering if another dinner could be held (after thepresent series is over) at which the professors in thedifferent departments would sit with the freshmen asthe counsellors did. It would be one way of -giving thefreshmen an opportunity to meet the professors ofthe various departments in one evening and ask thrquestions which will occur to them during the dinner.If the above plan should materialize I would be verywilling to assist in the necessary preparation.

need for the information dispensed there.There are numbers of students who, towardthe end of their training here, feel that theyshould have been in other courses. Quite alarge number of students do change coursesafter their first, second, or third year. There isno real reason why freshmen should sign upfor any course, except Architecture, since allcourses are alike. There is too much tendency . Infirmary List

for one to consider the matter settled if aRoman numeral is fixed after his name.
If freshmen registered without course des-ignation, and if the idea of Course Counsellingwas extended (for example to include profes-sors as counsellors, as a letter in today's OpenForum suggests), there would be less misfitswhen the time came to select courses at thebeginning of the sophomore year. Choosing alife's work is a serious step, and few highschool students are capable of making a satis-factory selection.
OR, WINNER TAKE NOTHING
T was a very wise man who said that theloser of a war is he who wins it. Especially
true will this be of the present war in Spain.This is a war that neither of the factions canwin, in the sense that victory will bring ma-terial or moral gain to the conqueror.
Spain is a land practically devoid of naturalresources. The destruction of war can be offsetonly by outside aid. The Spanish coloniies willof course help, but they will need capital fordevelopment, and the end of the war will seeSpain bankrupt. In fact bankruptcy is thething that is most likely to end the war. IfSpain is to be rebuilt and set on her feet, out-

side capital will have to be brought inr, andwith the capital will come outside control.
If the Fascists win it is almost certain thatSpain will become practically a territorial ap-pendage of Germany or Italy, or both. If theanti-fascists win we shall probably see a shortperiod of internal chaos followed by a dictator-ship of some sort, possibly another revolution,and certainly borrowings from some outsidenation or nations.
In any case Spain's autonomy will be lostfor a long time. We may even see in Spainsomething like the situation in China, exceptthat Spain's condition will be the result ofphysical exhaustion caused by the civil war.

Although admitting that there hadbeenr atrocities on both sides, Mr.Fischer said while the atrocities onthe Loyalist side were due to its in-ability at first to control its partisans,mass killings were an integral partof the Insurgent policy used to terror-ize the hostile masses.
He concluded by stating that theFascists could not win -in Spain, with-out outside help, adding that it wasonly the aid of Hitler and Mussolinithat had enabled Franco to hold outso long.
MLr. Malraux, just returned fromleading an international air squadronon the Spanish front, spoke to theaudience in French through an inter-preter.
