Photosynthesis, the process bywhich solar energy is convertedinto chemical energy, and whoseunique demonstration lies in thewonder properties of chlorophyll,has for ages prodded scientists intoits explanation. When, over a hun-dred years ago, the Becquerel cell,the first cell which was devised toproduce an electric current with theaid of light, was invented, no oneknew how it worked. When Langeaccidentally stumbled upon thephotoelectric properties of selenium"Camer layer" cells, and thus in-

-cented the widely used photronic

a mystery.

Secret Is Revealed

In an M.I.T. laboratory not longago, however, another cell was con-structed in which light is convertedinto electric current. But this timeit was discovered how and why.The name of the discoverer is Dr.Eugene Rabinowitch.

Physical- chemist Rabinowitch,long acquainted with the photo-synthetic wonders of chlorophyll,set out on his study with two pur-poses: the first was to devise a cellwhich, at expense of light energy achemical reaction could be made torun "uphill." He then wanted touse this shift of chemical equilib-rium for the production of an elec-tric current. His main problem wasto find an organic dye which wouldreverse one natural direction of,combustion processes on other oxi-|dation-reduction. reactions.

|Organic Dyes Responsible

|A purple dye called thionine ap-peared to be the answer. It wasdiscovered that the ferrous ions In

|a solution of thionine and ferrous|sulfate will under the influensce of|light, be oxidized to ferric ions,while the thionine is correspond-

|ingly reduced to leukothionine.Without the action of light, how-|ever, the action is reversed, thus|creating an electromotive force.These conclusions gave Rabinowitch

Only 33 AttendStudent Rally

With a mere thirty-three studentspresent to hear candidates speak,the annual Debating Society elec-tions forum got under way at 5:15P.M. last evening in Room 10-250.Ward J. Haas, Vice-President of thesociety and chairman of the forum,introduced each candidate and con-ducted the question period at theend of each talk.

One of the more important topicswhich were brought up at the maeet-ing was the subject of the respon-sibility of the Junior Class Presi-dent. George A. Schutte, '44,brought to the attention of thosepresent that the President of theClass of 1944 would become Presi-dent of the Institute Committee,upon the graduation of the Classof '43 in February of 1943. Thisfact, Schutte said, calls for extraconsideration when choosing theJunior Class President.

VOTE TO GRIPEThirty-three campaign managers, newspaper men, and can-

didates for class offices were the sole attendants at the electionsforum last night in Room 10-250. Thus the second attempt ofthe Debating Society to acquaint the student body with thegroup of men fom whom three class presidents are to be chosen,and to correct, at least partially, the situation which has foundresidential politics predominant at Technology during the pastfew years was received with a minimum of enthusiasm and sup-port. That lack of interest in student government by the stu-dents means but one thing: that Technology undergraduates donot care how nor by what individuals their school affairs aremanaged.

Daily, students fill the air with criticisms of the actions oftheir student officers and committees. They don't approve ofthe band that the Junior Prom Committee has signed, they don'tlike the idea of a barn dance during Senior Week, and they com-plain about how all worthwhile offices go to a few student poli-ticianls. But when the Debating Society offers them a means ofhelping to right all these evil-doings, they fail to accept the offer.

There is, however, one remaining way in which the studentbody can redeem itself. That is obviously in the class elections.The only means which the student no0w has to gain justly hisprivilege of griping is to cast his vote tomorrow.

ENGINEERS FOR RECONSTRUCTIONWhile the general pattern of the world of tomorrow has

been clouded in turbulent confusion ever since the day whenyonder Austrian paperhanger took matters into his own bands,it is high time that we applied some good, common engineeringsense to the problems of social and economic reconstruction.Too often has it been our privilege to participate in discussionsextolling the glaring injustices of the treaty of Versailles. Toooften have we censored the lack of imagination of the drawingroom politicians who less than a quarter of a century ago castthe die for what they believed to be a world pattern of happi-ness, prosperity and peace.

Night Editor: Charles H. Burns, '44.

The interest which numerousseniors are showing in the SeniorWeek program is very encouraging,and indicates that our 1942 gradua-tion will be accompanied by an ex-cellent social program. The Com-mittee wants to provide tile func-tions most desired by the class, andit is only through criticism andIsuggestions that this can be effec-tively accomplished. Early gradua-tion has necessitated certainchanges in the usual program,-changes which must be made to thesatisfaction of the majority ofticket holders.

With regard to the Friday nightparty, the plans for which havebeen under discussion, the Commit-tee fully intends to follow thewishes of the class. With the as-sistance of certain interested men,the various proposals are being ixn-vestigated. As soon as their prac-ticality has been established, SeniorWeek ticketholders will be can-vassed to determine their senti-ments.

It must be remembered, of course,that there are practical limitationsto any program. Committee mem-bers are personally responsible forthe financial success of SeniorWeek, and consequently can onlyplan events which give a reasonableprospect of financial success. Thesale of tickets has not been suchthat lavish plans are easily feasible.

The Committee is appreciative ofany comments regarding the pro-gram, but urges that all these bemade in the next two days, sincedefinite arrangements must bemade immediately. We wish tothank those who have expressedtheir sentiments already.

Very truly yours,

Jerome T. Coe, President

Class of 1942

Too evidently plain are the gruelling consequences of themistakes of a former day. It is our sacred duty to prove thatthey cannot and will not be repeated. All over the country arespringing up discussion groups, small and big groups of enthusi-astic individuals who now, even in the midst of the world-wideclash of arms, are moulding plans for the future based on theassumption of the destruction of the totalitarian menace in theEast and in the West.

Our words of hearty encouragement go to the Post-WarReconstruction Conference which meets for the third time to-morrow afternoon at the Institute. The fact that this confer-ence group has vigorously started upon a task which we trust itsmembers do not underestimate, indicates that already a step hasbeen taken in the right direction. While the Institute is, as awhole, keyed to the objective of helping as effectively as possiblein the persecution of the war, we need no apologies for a con-ference to discuss and formulate a practical and constructiveprogram for a Post-War world.

Let us hope that this conference will not frit away manyidle moments over vague theories of philosophy, but will analyzethe vast variety of problems confronting it in terms of theirfundamentals and with an approach revealing the attitude ofimpartial and sane engineers. This conference deserves the sup-port of every member of the Institute community who holdsany hopes for the world of tomorrow.

Of South A mericaAlters Our View

Political Problems -IIThe motivating power in the atti-

tude of the United States towardits Latin American neighbors has,during the greater part of the pastcentury and a half, been the in-stinct of self-preservation. our so-called "Good Neighbor"y policy ac-tually has its origin ill a unilateralself-preservative declaration whichwe know as the Monroe Doctrine.

In the early nineteen thirtieshowever, we came to realize thatsuch a policy could no longer betruly effective. The "banana" coun-tries, which we seemed to think wecould forever keep tied to our apronstrings, were growing up. Theywere beginning to make knownthat they were not backward In-dian countries which provided aplace for "dollar diplomats" to ex-tend their spheres of influence, butthat they were prospective worldpowers, richer in resources thanany other similar countries on thesurface of the earth.

Fraternity Is FosteredWhen the men who determined

our foreign policies gradually cameto realize this, they also graduallybegan to get the idea that thesecountries must be looked at with amore fraternal and less paternalattitude. But, as is usual with ourdiplomats and oulr people, theycame to this realization at a verylate date. To see why this is so, weshall make a hasty exploration intothe field of economics.

Most of the South Americancountries are almost exclusivelyagricultural. This is a natural statefor young countries. Their chiefcrops are such staples as wheat,coff ee, meat, maize, and similarproducts. In mlany cases, as is evi-dent, these crops are in directcompetition with our own.

Gym Team TrainsTo Meet Springfield

Dogged by hard luck during theentire season some thirty loyal var-

sity and freshman gymnasts arepreparing for the N. E. A. A. U.

championship meet and Springfield

meet in the Walker Gym at 7:00this Saturday evening.

Early last fall the gym team with-

drew from New England Intercol-legiate circles. It was found thatnot enough neighboring colleges

had gym teams with which to com-

pete and that competition with

teams at a distance entailed tripstoo long to be deemed feasible. In

spite of this, several meets were

scheduled. But with the coming of

the war most of these were can-celled.

Worst Blow to ComeThe worst blow to the team came

early in December when they wereforced to leave the Walker Gym.

The team resorted to cramped

quarters in the Y. M. C. U. in Bos-

ton. But the gymsters persevered

and competed against McGill Uni-

versity in Montreal, winning 46-44.

On March 10 the gymnasts wereable to re-enter the Walker Gymand have been continuing practicefor the coming Springfield andA. A. U. meets. The prospects forthis meet are bright. Emilio Touchewill compete on the side-horse;Heinie Shaw, tumbling; George An-derson, side-horse, parallel bars;Box Maxwell, highbar, parallel bars,rings tumbling; Frank Wilbour,rings; Henry Bourne, rope climb-ing; and Chuck Carlson, who wona- novice title last year. g

The New England Amateur Ath-]letic Union championships will be|run on an individual basis. RayKeyes, '40, who was a one-man teamfor Technology a few years ago,will be one of the competitors.There are three classes in the meet!senior, junior, and novice. Whatthe men do in the N. E. A. A. U.will count in the match againstSpringfield.. The varsity men havea better chance of beating Spring-field than they did last year andwill be out to avenge last year's de-feat. Other colleges represented inthe meet will probably be Amnherstand B3. U.

name for himself on which to sup-

port his band, Donahue accepted

some of these off ers, gaining nation-

wide recognition as a soloist with

such renowned orchestras as those

of Gene Krupa, Harry James, and

Benny Goodman.

After securing a firm musical

reputation, Sam returned to his

own band in December, 1940, and

under his leadership, the outfit

really began to click. Within the

past year alone, the rise of Dona-

hue's band has been of skyrocket

proportions. Music critics in many

publications as well as other Or..

chestra leaders themselves have

been loud in their acclaim of tihis

coming new band. These critics

describe the natural rhythmic style

of the band as the most refreshing

in the past decade, believing that

the youthful spirit of its stream-

lined music will find favor with

both old and young alike. Featuredwith the band on vocals are Donna

Mason, and Fred Lane, while Wayne

Herdell, Mitchell Paull, and HaroldHahn exhibit individual distinction

on the piano, triumpet, and drumsrespectively.

Sweet to swing Music

Although more popularly knownas the swing contestant in theI.F.C. "Battle of Music," Sam Don-ahue's band is not stylized. His

arrangements run the gamut ofmusic from sweet to swing, fromgraceful, lilting waltzes to real

killer-diller jive.

this statement becomes.ference of chemical potiential was

created in the two halves of the

cell. By the immersion of platinum

electrodes, one in each half, an

electric potential was created. This

yielded the electric energy for

which Rabinovfttch was searching.

Scientific Importance

The significance of this cell at

the present stage is not a commer-

cial one. What Rabinowitch

achieved was a new controlled

method of converting light energy

into electrical energy by means of a

simple chemical reaction. Whereas

the photoelectric effect of the oldBecquerel cell often was uncontrol-able due to impurities rather thanto the essential components of thecell, Rabinowitch demonstrated howthis effect can be obtained in a well-defined chemical systemi in whichlight causes an oxidation-reduction|reaction to run "backwards," awayfrom the thermodynamic equilib-riurn. This proceeds fundamentallyin the same way in which the com-bustion of glucose to CO, and HDlis reversed by chlorophyll and lightill green plants. In short, Rabino-witch'ss achievement cell is a tre-mendous scientific jump.|

Studied In Germany|Eugene Rabinow~itch was born in|

Russia. He later studied at theUniversity of Berlin, collaboratbedwith James Franck, a Nobel Prizebio-physicist, and was launched onthe study of the mechanism of

photosynthesis and the effect oflight on oxidation-reduction proc-esses. He later moved to Englandin 1934 where he studied further,and in 1938 he came to America.Since then he has been workingthrough the Cabot Foundation.Numerous scientific papers and two

|books bear his name on the subject,one which he is working. Asked|what he would do now, he answered|only with a scientist's philosophical|shrug of the shoulders.

European Influence

Now during the part of the lastIseveral decades when we were ig-noring our competitors, European Icountries were building up "spheresof influencer in these nations. (Themost active country in this respectwas England-not Ger.., any as iscommonly supposed). This resultedin the more southerly nations onthe South American continentgrowing further and further fromthe United States.

Correction Being MadeOur own state department is now

struggling to make the corrections.The American people, however,seem to be doing their best to balkthese efforts. If, for example, the"farm bloc" would come to realizethat Argentine beef could be im-ported from that part of the' coun-try which is not afflicted with the"'foot and mouth" disease withouthaving a great deal of effect on theAmerican market and yet having atremendous salving effect on ourrelations with the Argentine, agreat step toward an understandingwould be taken. Just a bare men-tion of such a move, however, seemsto cause a panic among the Amer-ican farmers.

As for our attitude toward ourLatin neighbors after the war, itmust take several things into ac-count. We must remember thatSouth America's natural marketslie, to a large extent, in Europe, andwe should make no effort to inter-fere with these markets. We mustremember that South America isyoung and growing, and by helpingher build up her own industries,we should make every effort to helpher grow. We should rememberthat South America's culture,through the medium of HollywoodAmerican News Agencies (whichsupply South America with eightyper cent of its news, comic supple-ments to newspapers (which reachmany times the number of peoplethat radio broadcasts do), lies veryclose to ours, and act accordingly.Then, when crisis again knocks atour door, we will have a powerfuland united Western Hemisphere.

that the Senior Class is to attendpunch parties and informal danceson the Saturday afternoon and eve°aing following the dance. To makethe week-end even more complete,a Dramashop play and the 5:15Carnival are being presented thatsame Saturday night, while VooDoois planning a special issue for theoccasion to be distributed the nightof the dance.

The winning door prize ticketswill be drawn sometime during thedance by Miss Phyllis Reed, Sim-mons College student and date ofJohn S. Arend, '42, who is chairmanof the Interfraternity Conference.Special decorations are beingplanned as a surprise for dance-goers.

school through the summer makes

an informal series of dances, beach-

parties and picnics indispensible,

was the consensus.

Summer Social Program

The forum opened with addresses

from the two freshman candidates,

John L. Hull and John F. Burke.

each of whom stressed the need for

ullity in the Class of 1945. Follow-

ing these speakers, Sid F. Atlas,

S. Richard Childerhose, and John

i W. McDonough, Jr., all of the Class

of 1943, delivered short speeches,

the gist of which was the necessity

to keep the summer social programgoing.

Finally each of the five candi-

dates for Junior class President de-

livered a talk, each of them in some

|way mentioning the importance of

a successful Junior Prom next year.

E. Carroll criticized the present

method of election, and offered a

plan which he hoped would allevi-

ate the political competition among

the various groups in Technology.

Malcolm G. Kispert spoke mainly

on a proposed enlarged Junior P"rom

Committee, and also offered a sug-

gestion that a "band committee"

be formed to obtain thp "big name"

bands for dances. George A.Schutte, Caleb S. Taft and John A.White followed Schutte, each dis-cussing the Prom, and White giv-ing a lengthy discourse on theharms of "party politics" in theInstitute.
