Airplane Model TestedBy Sceptic Young Guest

One visitor to Technology dur-ing Open House day was scepti-cal about airplane models whichwere on exhibition in Building33 for use in the large windtunnel. He wanted to see if themodels would fly or if they werejust toys that did not work. Ac-cordingly he picked up a smallm)etal p2lane and with all hismight sailed it into the air. Thesmall airplane made a fortunatelanding and was not broken, buta freshman guard was then puton duty to see that YoungAmerica would refrain from test-ing the models.

SCOTCH BAGPIPERS PLAY

Over 40 Students in Annual BattleBrave Danger of Rush to

Fighting of the gamnest kind wasthe outstanding feature of the annualTechnique Rush, one of the main at-tractions of Open House. Over fortystudents dared the danger of battlein an attempt to win a precious pad-dle and thus cover themselves withglory and grease in that twenty min-ute period in which those wooden ob-jects of all the struggle were passedout of the roof of the slimy, grotes-que hut standing defiant of attack inthe middle of the baseball diamond.

Long before the scheduled time forthe rush, the crowds started to collectabout this improvised open air fightarena. When the faint music of theScottish bag pipes were heard float-ing over from Walker Memorial her-alding the start of the affair the mobhad swelled to such proportions thatthe roofs of cars and adjacent build-ings had been resorted to.

Announce New BoardA long'file of white clothed stu-

dents then appeared trailing threekilted Scotehmen playing their bag-pipes. These old and new membersof the Technique Board marched tothe field where they formed about thehut in a huge circle while Eddie Mor-ris, famous Harvard Stadium announ-cer, bellowed out the -names olf the-newly elected managing board of thenew volume of the yearbook, follow-ing- this with the rules of the Rush.

and the students who had formed intwo main groups on opposite sides ofthe field raced for the hut and foughtthe grease and their fellow stud~entsto reach the top of the roof where pad-dles were to appear at one minute in-tervals. Alfred W. Halper '32 lvas thefirst to be rewarded for his tortured

T ooking beautiful in defeat thefamous Varsity eight lost one of thehardest fought races ever run on theCharles by a length after remainingprow to prow with the Tiger oarsmenfor over a quarter of a mile. In thefirst race the 150 pound crew lost tothe light Princeton boat by a lengthand a quarter, after the Princetonboat had led by about a half a lengthover the entire course. Taking a faststart, the Jay-Vees also lost their raceafter having a length lead over theiropponents at the quarter mark.

Engineers Take First LeadWith a slight breeze up the river,

the Varsity took the lead at the gunwith a long smooth stroke, whichthey increased to a quarter of alength at the quarter mile mark. ThePrinceton stroke which was about thesame count as the Engineer boat wasa little shorter, and allowved theTechnology crew to lead bay a quarterthrough the Harvard Bridge. As thecrew approached the Institute, thePrinceton stroke wvent up, bringingIthe Tiger boat even at the threequarter mark. With a long powerfulstroke both crews kept prow to prow,Technology showing beautiful oars-manship as they pulled ahead for aslight lead.

With less than a hundredyards to go, McLeod, number 7 onthe Engineer boat, caught a crab, andthe Pr inceton boat shot far ahead,increasing the distance between theboats to a length and a quarter. Inspite of the three stroke loss, theEngineer boat staged a terrific finish,gaining more than a quafter of alength =on their opponents, but theTiger lead was too great, and thedistance between the crews wvas alittle more than a length at the finish.Whether the misstroke of McLeod lostthe race for Technology is doubtful,as Princeton had a quarter of a lengthon the Cardinal and Gray oarsmen asthey approached the finish.

Potash Struck by Governlmen~t in TestHoles Sunlk in Texas and New MexicoAns We See the Moviesi,

Another side to that "sine quo non"of the movies, the eternal triangle, isdeveloped in "Betrayal," a new Para-mount release which is the feature atthe Met this week. Of course thereare triangles and triangles, most ofthem rather boring, but this one, inwhich Emil Jannings, Esther Ralstonland Gary Cooper form the "drainatispersonnae," has new angles which areforeign even to the most accomplishedengineer.

Particularly forceful and compe-tent is Janning's characterization ofthe Swniss Burgher. In this role, thefamed actor used his talent to makethe self-satisfied, good-natured mayoriof a small Alphine village a charac-ter who is more human than was themad Czar in another famous produc-tion, "The Patriot."

Gary Cooper, as a Viennese painter,and Esther Ralston, as a beautifulSwiss mountain girl, form the reasonfor the triangle. Loving her de-votedly before the marIriage whichwas forced on her by her parents,Cooper becomes the friend of thefamily, called "Uncle" by the children,|and always received with a warm wel-come. Ignorant of the tragedy in his;|wlife's life, Jannings is oblivious toIanything but his love for his family,land his friendship for Cooper makesIthe situation difficult. The wholestory moves forward rapidly, and theplot is excellent.

In the stage show, "Castle ofDreams," all the well-known charac-ters of "Mother Goose appear. Thefeature of the unit is the MotherGoose Parade. a cleverly executed dis-play. Of the specialty acts, thatwhich is perhaps the best is given byMary Spoor and Jack Parsons, whosefinished interpretation of an animateddoll dance meets w ith hearty appro-val. From a mechanical actioned dollMiss Spoor turns to a scintillatingdancer, performing in each case veryprettily. Eddie Allen and Doris Can-field gave the usual song-and-dance act.The Foster Girls are the chorus thiswreek, and their colorful costumes addconsiderably to the general effect ofthe setting.

FAIR WEATHER SPORTSMANSHIPT HE Tigers "came, saw and conquered" and did a good job of it.

But "Are we down-hearted?-NO!" The crews rowed goodraces, learned a great deal and are ready to finish the season in theauspicious manner in which they started it.

The danger in this situation is not from the crew, but ratherfrom the student-body. Too prone are we at Technology to. sup-port a winning team, to bet on a sure thing. We were all smilesand good cheer last week when the prospects were bright, but ourfair weather sportsmanship will not support our fighting repre-sentatives when they are losing.

Never in history have we had a crew which showed suchpromise. The news notices which they have received, havebrought to Technology much favorable publicity and a wrealth ofoutside. interest. Whether they reach Poughkeepsie or not, we atthe Institute have an opportunity of a life-time to show this crewwhat real student backing means.

AN OPEN HOUSE PREVIEWT HE curtain has fallen on Open House, 1929, and the performance

has hastened to join its illustrious predecessors. Crowds havecome, gazed and vanished. Life has reverted to the beaten path,even for the husky-voiced query-answerers in charge of machinesand demonstrations.

Amid all this questioning, however, there is one question un-answered and perhaps unasked, "Why not an Open House exclu-sively for students and faculty of the Instiute ?" On the face of itthe idea may sound selfish and unworthy, yet why should not thosewhose life work is or will be along similar channels be able to wit-ness these demonstrations without feeling that they are crowdingin front of some guest?

A simple measure would make this plan easily possible. OpenHouse is always on Saturday, and it would require but little moreeffort to complete the exhibitions on the Friday preceding, thusallowing a private showing the next morning, for which the stu-dents might well be excused from classes to see. Then, insteadof the hub-hub and confusion of half-finished displays, a smoothly-running all-Technology Open House could be shown, and -the ex-periments explained in more technical terms.

A more appreciative group does not exist than this particularaudience. Each student at Technology is interested in all the de-partments and what they are doing, yet whe oeheav thetime or opportunity to see their equipment in action. And at the afternoon and evening Open House, with scores of visitors, nostudent, no matter how enthralled, can elbow his way to the frontof a large group around an exhibition.

The public at large gains from Open House a wonder at the'marvels of science, in most cases, an uncomprehending wonder-plus a wholehearted admiration for the Institute. This is exactlywhat is desired and expected, but doesn't it seem unfortunate thata presentation which means so much work and time, should go solargely unappreciated-when the students themselves would forman audience, at once eager and understanding.

Why not at least half a day for students and faculty only?Technology Open House as it is, of cour se, is excellent in every wAay;it pertains to be-and its upbulilders cannot be commended too highly. It is because it is so successful that we feel more of it is due "the native sons."

WE THANK YOUFOR the first time in the history of Open House, the visitors came,

to Walker. Always in times past the guests have seemed to!fear the walk from Building Two, and have consequently goneIan, ay wsith no thought to the extra-curricular activities of the stu-Idents.I

The reasons for the welcome change of policy were several.|For one thing, the Technique Rllsh was not in the Great Court, a new arrangement whose good points far outweighed its disadvan-tages. Then there seas this year a great increase in interest shownby the various publications and activities, which was evidenced bythe "Sunday Clothes" aspect of the offices. But more important,

eve may account for this new departure by the efforts of theDramashop and Tech Show.

To these two groups, who where responsible for a heretoforeunknown interest in student affairs, Technology owes a great debtof gratitude. On behalf of the students, wve give them a sincerevote of thanks.

less favorable for potash explorationthan other portions further west andnorthwest. Although these tests donot actually condemn the east andsouth border regions, they justify thediscontinuance of further explorationin those areas until well cuttings mayreveal localities more favorable thanthose thus far tested.

Private Companies Make TestsGovernment exploration preceding

and following the passage of the Pot-ash Act has directly or indirectlystimulated private companies to makecore tests for potash. Four of thesecompanies have been permitted somepublic use of their results, and threehave cooperated directly with theUnited States Geological Survey. Inall 32 test holes have been drilled inthe Permian salt basin. Of these 20are in southeastern New Mexico,three drilled by the Government and17 privately. Of the 11 drilled inTexas, including the latest, not yetreported, eight are Government andthree private. One private core testhole has been drilled in Kansas. Aconsiderable area of soluble potashsalts has been discovered in south-eastern New Mexico, in which severalbeds of these salts and of polyhalitehave been found that range in thick-ness from two to seven feet and inK, 0 content from 10 to 20 per cent.Most of these beds are less than 2,000feet below the surface and many ofthem less than 1,500 feet. A private-ly drilled core test hole in southwest-ern Midland County, Texas, is re-ported to have encountered a layer ofsoluble potash salts and beds ofPolyhalite at depths greater than1,900 feet.

The Geological Survey is continu-ing its examination and analysis ofcuttings from wells drilled for oil inpotential potash districts, because in-formation thus gained is useful inextending knowledge of the potashfields and serves as a basis for thefurther selection of sites for coredrilling under the potash act.

Geological Survey Analyzes 32Samples from Holes in

Permian Basin

Potash has been struck in each ofthree test holes bored by the Govern-ment in Texas and the results of theanalyses and other details were madepublic by the Department of theInterior recently. The GeologicalSurvey is responsible for the analysesof the cores which were taken fromthe three test holes drilled by theBureau of Mines under the PotashAct, which provides for joint explora-tions by the Department of theInterior and the Department of Com-merce. All three of the holes pene-trated numerous beds of polyhaliteinterbedded with halite and someanhydrite. Other minerals were rec-ognized, but polyhalite, a complexpotassium magnesium calcium sulfate,was the only potash-bearing mineralpresent.

98.7% Cone RecoveredPotash conditions prevailing near

the Southern Border of the Permiansalt basin are fairly well summed upin the results obtained from the eighttests conducted in this region. Thetest-hole was drilled in northwesternCrockett County, Texas, about 12miles southwest of Rankin. It waschurn-drilled to the top of the saltsat about 468 f eet and core drilledthence to a total depth of 1,001 feet.The percentage of core recovered was98.7. Six beds containing 9 per centor more of potash (potassium oxide)were encountered, but none of thesewere as much as a foot thick-therichest, which contained 11.2 per centof K,0 in the sample, equivalent to14.10 per cent in the soluble salts be-ing only 5 inches thick. A bed 5 feet2 inches thick at a depth of 521 feetcontains 6.35 per cent Ko O in thesample, equivalent to 7.14 per cent inthe soluble salts, and may be regardedas having remote commercial possi-bilities.

So far as these tests go they indi-cate that these parts of the basin are

Larus & Bro. Co.,,Richmond, Va.Gentlemen:

Just a line to let you know -wheresome of your tobacco has been goingfor the last ten years.

i have been smoking Edgeworth forthe past ten years; in fact, since Istarted smokin~g and it is just as goodnow as it was then. Have given otherbrands a fair trial, but there is nonelike Edgeworth. During that time Ihave had costly pipes and some not socost~y, but I have decided that it isnot the pipe but what is in it thatcounts.

\'W~ith best wishes for your continuedsuccess in the manufacture of this highgrade tobacco, I am,f ~~~Sincerely,

eight set a new course record of 9minutes and 24 seconds, while the*Engineer boat crossed the line justlfour seconds later. This was the firstIrace over the course, and was oneIof the hardest ever fought on -theI

Wdith a slight head wind, and alichoppy course to race, the J. V.'s tookthe lead at the start by setting a fastshort stroke, which they increasedrapidly having almost a length on thesecond Tiger Varsity at the quarter.Both crews rowed easily, with long Ismooth strokes as the boats ap-|proached the Harvard Bridge, the|Engineers splashing a little. As thenboats neared the bridge, both strokes Iwent up, but the Tigers, who wererowing a faster stroke, pulled up tothe Technology boat, passing them asboth shells emerged from the bridge.Shooting ahead with a long powerful'stroke, the Tigers increased the dis- tance between the crews to a half as the boats passed the Institute. Dueto the rough water of the lolwer Basin,both crews were chopping badly asthey approached the finish.

Tigers Spurt at Fnish When about 300 yards from the}

finish, the Princeton eight started thefinal spurt, and their lead went up|to a length and a half, making theirvictory almost certain as both crews,rowving hard, -neared the finish line.The Princeton stroke, which was nowlonger and smoother, increased again,and the Tigers crossed the line morethan two lengths ahead of the Tech-{nology eight.

Practice commenced about the endof October, with five of last year'sletter men and about one hundrednew candidates. Shoulder-to-shouldermatches were held in December withthe First Corps Cadets and the 101stInfantry, and the team showed earlystrength by winning these matches byoverwhelming scores. In January ashoulder-to-shoulder match was firedwith the U. S. Marines team fromFCharlestown, and the Marines ^rerebadly beaten. The following week theteam met Boston University in amatch at the National Sportsmen'sShow, a unique match in that it wasopen to the public and witnessed bya fair-sized crowd. In spite of thetrying conditions, the team shot aswell as ifl it were on its own ran-e,and won easily.

Wins R. O. T. C:. TitleThe First Corps Area R. O. T. C.

match was then fired in successivestages, and lvas won by M.I.T. againstseven other collegiate teams in theIFirst Corps Area, Norwich finishing,second, and University of Vermontthird.

At the beginning of the second term,a return shoulder-to-shoulder matchwas fired with Boston University,which M.I.T. won by the score of1332-1270. In the middle of Februarythe N. R. A. New England Leaguematches commenced, one being heldeach week. The M.I.T. team provedto be in a class by itself in thisleague, and won each of its matchesby a wide margin, finally defeatingNorwich, its closest rival, by 50 pointsand winning the New Englandchampionship.

C. C. N. Y. Is DefeatedEarly in March a trip was made to

New York, where C. C. N. Y. was en-countered. C. C. N. Y. had beenturning in scores on a par with thoseof M.I.T. in telegraphic matches, butwhen the teams met shoulder-to-shoulder the New York team cracked,and M.I.T. won 1352-1270.

Togo weeks later the team journeyedsouth and in a shoulder-to-shouldermatch with George Washington Uni-versity last year's National Cham-pions, wvas defeated 1327-1333. Asthe team had shot considerably betterthan this against C. C. N. Y., theresult wvas rather disappointing. The lfollowing day the teart Went toAnnapolis, and although it shot well,lost 1344-1375 to the powerful Navyteam.

Becomte Eastern ChampionsThree we-eks later, on April 13, in

the last unatch of thoe year, the teamw on its naost notable victory at theN. R. A. Eastern Intercollegiatles,held in Boston. Although nine other

Iteams wrere present, among them

Columbia, Syracuse, and C. C. N. Y.,which wsere reputed to be thestrongest teanils in the East, M4.I.T.finished on top with a score of 1300,followed by Columbia with 1281.Clark, of M.I.T., won the Easternindividual chanupionship in this matchwith a score of 272. On this samedate three other sectional matcheswere fired in different parts of thecountry, the highest scorer being con-sidered the national champion. IowaState had high score with 1365 pointswhile Navy was fourth witb 1349 andM.I.T. placed eighth, the total num-ber of teams being twenty-eight.

Bright Hopes For Next YearOf the eight consistent high scorer

on the squad, five-Kohler, Loomis,Orleman, Captain Rieddig, andTwarogowvski-were letter men lastyear, while Plugge once fired on theGeorge Washington University team,and Clark and Hamilton, the twoSophomore stars were on last year'sfreshman team. By graduationKohler, Loomis, Plugge, and Reddigwill be lost but the remaining fourmen whill constitute a powerfulnucleus for next year's team. Thereare several other men, Sophomores,on the Varsity squad who turned infirst class scores toward the end ofthe season and who will undoubtedlyshow up to advantage next year, andwith several good prospects now onthe Ri. O. T. C. freshman squad, itappears likely -that next year's teamwill be a very good one.

LATE RESULTS OF WEEK-ENDSPORTS

Wes Reynolds of the Gym team tookthird place on the rings in the Na-tional Amateur Championships held atPhiladelphia last Saturday. .He wasthe only member of the Instituteteam to compete.
