PROM C OMMITTEEIWANTS WALKER TO9

ITSELF MARCH 17aCorporation Will F~inanace Tea

]Dance the FollowingAf t ernoon

ARRANGE FULL WEEK-END

According to a statement made bythe Junior Promn Conimittee, last eve-ning, the conimittee has decided thatit does not wish any other activityto function in Walker on the eveningof the Prom. The reason foi· this isthat it is the wish of the committeethat the patrons of the prom be notforced to remain in the same atnios-phere all evening.

Also, it was decided that the nia-jority of the guests at the prom pre-fer to attend the theatre on the sameevening. Many do not do this, saidEdward L;. Asch, chairman of thecommittee, as they feel that they aremissing a large part of the evening'sactivities. The committee, carefullytaking this into account, has providedan intermission to allow everyone topartake of the theatre without niiss-ing any of the prom. Furthermore,they have included an early dinnerserved at a tinie when it may be eatenadvantageously. A program has beenarranged which will fill completely thehours between six-thirty and fouro'clock with entertainment.

Corporation Sponsors Tea 1DanceFor· those who object to the in-

creased cost over the price of TechShow, that a three-hour intermissionentails, Asch stated, the committee ismaking arrangements with Drarna-shop to nmrn111- - ,i""r uni the samenight in the Rogers building at thesame price as Tech Show. At anyrate, Tech Show will be running onthe evening after the prom, and it willbe the ideal thing to fill in the ,vreek-end.

The Corporation of the Institute hasdecided that it will be able to financethe usual tea dance on the afternoonfollowing the prom, on March 18. Thisco-operation of the Institute will prob-ably add much to the rest of the plansof the committee to inake the week-end as -enjoyable as possible, and ata cost far below that of any formerproin. This is the first time in twoyears that thIe corporation has feltthat it was able to finance the teadance.

Wrestling Team'victorious OverNorwich Matmen

Scores First Victory of YearBy 231/2 to 41/2; freshmen,

Lose To Harvard

Showing greatly improved forniand. spirit, Technology's varsitywrestling team won its first victory ofthe season last night in the HangarGyni by swamping Norwich to thetune ot Z311,12 - 41"2. in a preliminaryi-natch the Harvard freshmen reversedthe tables on the Engineer freshmen,and came out with an overwhelming29-5 win.

Two of the matches went into over-time periods. That between Ganisbyof Norwich and Otto Putnam of Tech-nology was finally called a draw, afterneither of the two could gain morethan a few seconds advantage on theother. Koller won his match fromWillard Lemaire, who was wrestlinghis first intercollegiate match, whenthe latter, in the overtime period,thou-ht they were off the niat and re-linquished his advantage, giving Kol-ler a chance to gain more time on him.Up to that tinie the match was prac-tically even. Marderosian was theonly Engineer to lose, and he was de-feated by Captain Lavin of Norwichby a time advantage of two and a halfminutes.

Henry Christensen, in the 155-pound class ,vas the only EnIp-ineerfreshman to win a inatch from theCrini-,on. He threw Dickson Sinith ofHar,,ard in five minutes and twenty Iseconds. I-Zowland of Harvard wasawarded a referee's decision over JimCrai- of Technology in the. 126-poundclass.

Viewing the bacteria which causecolds under the microscope will befeatured at a lecture by Dr. B. E.Sibley on "The cause and preventionof colds", Thursday afternoon at fouro'clock in the Homberg Infirmary.

This is the same lecture which wasso fell attended last year. Dr. Sibleydesires that because of the preval-ence of colds the freshmen, who havenot had the opportunity before, shouldhear the talk. All students, however,are invited to avail themselves of thischance to obtain information aboutcolds. The slides containing theIgrowths of bacteria have been speci-ally procured for the occasion.

LIBERALh CLUB WVILLHHEAR DR. COMIPTON

Dr. Karl T. Compton will speak on"The Scientific Approach to SocialProblems" Thursday at four o'clockat the meetin- of the Liberal Club inRoom~ 10-250.

Joseph Dauber, '34, president, statesthat the purpose of the Libeiral Clubis to ar~ouse student interest in theprobleins of the economic and socialsysteni. He expects that Dr. Comp-ton's talk will be of major interest onaccount of the widespread discussionof "Technocr~acy"' and other proposals

will be hurled to the flames. The wholeprocedure is expected to take abouthalf an hour.

In 1928, the first year that a bon-fire was employed, a very elaborateprogram was carried out. The snakedance had a band to lead it in itsrhythm. The late Dr. Samuel W.Stratton gave an address to the nnen.A tree was planted in the corner ofa grass plot adjoining Walker iMemo-rial, in the effort to establish anotherprecedent. Just before the ties wereburned, three rifle salutes were firedand taps was played by the buglecorps. WTith all this inspiration tospur them on the freshmen made shortwork of the ties, which they had wornfor a long seven months.

Long the object of bitter scoffing onthe part of those near-sighted in-dividuals who consider the supremeachievement of education the inven-tion of little machines for large pro-fits, it is to be presumed that Harvardwill once more be given its full shareof distasteful epithets by the samepeople, because of the incorporationof President Lowell's latest concep-tion, the Society of Fellows.

This Society, providing the full op-portunities, for three years, of all thefacilities of Harvard, will allowtwenty-four men to pursue funda-mental research in any field of en-deavor they care to enter. They mayenroll for any courses whatsoever,and may utilize any of the researchfacilities of the University, but theywill not be candidates for a degree, inany way, nor given credit for any ofthe subjects which they take.

It has been truly stated that this isan idea -never before utilized in thehistory of education, and it is hailedas the be-inning of the end of the no-tion that the mystical letters, Ph.D.,spell perfection.

Degrees are awarded to people -wbopass examinations in scheduled sub-jects. And it must be said, in allfairness, that the degree is an excel-lent indication of the amount andquality of the stuff! a given individualis able to remember over a g ivenperiod of time.

But consider merely the effects. Theperson who is engaged in real pro-duction is not necessarily the personwsho obtains a degree. Nor is theperson wcho has the degree, the manwaho can produce.

It is, therefore, to be lamented, thatthe degree should be taken as an in-dex of the productive ability of an in-dividual, and to be held as such a re-liable criterion of this, that it is well-nigh impossible to hold a professor-ship in many of the institutions oflearning west of the Alleghenies, un-less the candidate is the holder of thernlagialt umilbivin. AULT Lnis, regardlessof the fact that many, and most Doc-tor's degrees, are awarded on thebasis of a thesis so trivial as to be in-consequential.

For once, at least, in the education-al history of this nation, a scholar wrillbe allowed to indulge in purely crea-tive production, without the necessityof molding it to the requirements of-such a degree. For once, at least,creative ability will not be measuredby this one standard which is totallyinadequate to measure the creator.And for this, we thank thee, Presi-dent Lowell.

To the man interested in his owvneducation for the sake of that educa-Ition who works for the joy of crea-tion, that remarkable ability so loud-ly scorned when found in the presentand so highly praised when seen inthe past, this founding of an instituteof scholarship must seem to be averitable paradise of opportunity...Here are the educ ational opportun-ities and the research facilities of oneof the best universities in the world,made ready to the Open Sesame of Ability.

No strings are attached. No spur of honors is applied, nor is the in- dividual tied to an indicated course of

In opening its columns to letters addressedto the Editor, THE TECHI does not guaranteepublication of any communication nor does itnecessarily endorse the opinions expressed.Letters on subjects of interest to the studentbody are welcome if signed. However, if thewriter so desires, only the initials will appearon publication.

To the Editor of THE TECH:A peculiar situation exists among

graduates of Technology; a situationwhich sooner or later many of usundergraduates will be forced to meetface to face. The problem centers it-self in the question, "When is an en-gineer not an engineer?"

Ordinarily, a Technology graduateis an engineer and as such he is re-garded as a member of that mathe-matical group of men whose interestsand ability never leave the laboratoryof research or applied science. A fewmen, either from circumstances ortheir own volition, remain true to theengineering profession, but the ma-jority do not. It is an interesting factthat in one of the Institute's largestengineering courses, over 80 percentof its graduates have become eithermajor or minor executives in less thanfifteen years from graduation. Thispercentage is only a little less in theother courses. It is evident that ourengineers are becoming business men,and yet only a few of us are offered-in opportunity to become familiarwvith the business world before we en-ter it.

It has always been the policy ofTHE TECH to urge that undergradu-ate activities should demonstrate theirusefulness or cease to function. Inhearty accordance with this policy,CORPORATION FIFTEEN offers toall the undergraduates of Technologytheir opportunity to become familiarwith the -modern business world intowhich so many wtill soon enter.

!Education Is Not NeededEducation is entirely superfluous

and the Massachusetts Institutle ofTechnology ought to close its doorsand devote its buildings to some wor-thy occupation, according to a sagephilosopher who makes it a practice

!to frequent the corners around Ken-dall Square. He eloquently expressed

;his opinions on the subject to one oflthe Institute students recently.

lThe student, being one of thatspecies known as commuters, wasstanding on the sidewalk awaiting aride home. He had been promised thatbe would be given the ride, but thereseemed to be some delay. The philo-sopher, being of a congenial sort, musthave seen the waiting one and, takingcompassion, decided to keep himn com-pany. He walked over to the student,who was confronted with someone 'hehad never seen starting a conversationwith him.

"What do you do?" the figure asked.The appearance of the gentleman

in question-showed his learned natureremarkably well. His hair was un-kempt; his face was clean-shaven ex-cept for the growth of the last threedays; his thick -neck could be seenthrough his open collar. Finger-nailswere in need of attention, and shoeswere soiled with mud. A tatteredco at and worn trousers w ere fittingaccompaniments to the other featuresof his appearance.

"I'm going to school over on theriver," was the answer of the student,pointing back toward the Alma Mater.

"Where ?""Over at the Institute.""H~uh?9s"At the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology.""Oh ! You go to that school over

there," and the stranger motionedtoward the Charles. He followed im-mediately with his discussion of thevalue of education, "Well, what do youstudy there?"

"Well, I take calculus, physics,chemistry, and . . . "1

"That's a waste of time. You oughtto be out earning some money to sup-port yourself. Besides all the moneybeing spent on that school should begiven to someone who needs it, thepoor for instance."

WE WANT TIMEDURING the first part of the term a petition was circulated

Dthrough the dormitories, and incidentally signed by a greatnumber of men, requesting the adoption of a -new regime at Tech-nology -no classes after four o'clock. This was desirable inorder that the amount of time available for athletics should beincreased. Besides athletics there is another group of interestswhich would be more effectively cultivated weith an increase in theamount of available time. These are the fine arts.

It is assumed by the facullty that requiring students to "take"a few general subjects (just in the same manner as one takes apill) arouses their interest in the subject. This is quite probablyriot true; from our own experience we may say that it is abso-lutely untrue. There is, however, more to the matter than this.There are at Technology a fairly large number of men who arealreacty genuinely interested in letters and cultural subjects. Tothese men the so-called subjects are actually a detriment. Thelarge amounts or t;i_~;> mil,-,t. ha. snprt on the merely super-ficial general course prevents them from acquiring any familiaritywith many subjects which they sincerely desire to cultivate.

This matter might be remedied by extending the work at theInstitute to five years without increasing the actual number ofhours spent in school. This would allow anyone who desired, tospend time on outside interests without fear of damaging hisscholastic record. Both the athletes and the intellectuals wouldbe satisfied by the same move.

OUR LUCKY FRATERNITIES{N frequent occasions college presidents and others connected

0J with the administr ation of educational institutions makestatements that find their way- ILI- he -newspapers. O~f course,the disciplinary statements are those to be featured, and as fra-ternities are hotbeds of sin and vice to a portion of the public,those interviews in which the fraternities are told by the officialvhat they can or cannot do alre given more prominence than

others.Before the Christmas vacation here appeared a dispatch in

which the president of Williams College was reported to have "laiddowen the law to the Williamstown Greek letter organizations.Drinking must stop in the fraternity houses or they would be pad-locked for an indefinite period." And so it goes: this here andsomething else at another school.

The Technology fraternities are fortunate whether they real-ize it or not. The apparent disinterest of the administration infraternity matters is underlaid with a quiet watchfulness whichin no wsay attempts to dictate to the houses but which stands readyto help the fraternities if an occasion arises in which they needthe sulpport of the administration.

This course of action is not one of complete disinterest vet itassures the fraternities of a freedoml for which theyr canwelbthankful.welb

HUDSONMANIAFOUR years ago when Technology had what was thought to beIFone of the best crews ever produced at the Institute, there was

a movement started to send our boat to Poughkeepsie. We finishedthird, if memory serves aright. Since that time, through thegenerosity of an interested alumnus wie have continued to sendcrews to the regatta, but this year there will be no Hudson Riverrace for the Engineers. Doctor Rowe's statement to the Bostonnewspapers published yesterday, a single word statement, a veryconcise and quite sufficient "No," definitely establishes the factthat our Hudsonmania is over.

After rowing a season of short races, all of two miles or lessin length, and after the strenuous period of examinations when itis practically. impossible for the men to keep training, a Technol-ogy crew is not capable of accustoming itself to the gruelling four'mile race in the three w eeks before the contest. While the raceis a gallant gesture on'the part of Technology' it is a futile one;our crews are not callable of entering such. a: race -on -a par withother schools and defin"te ly. to' drop Poughkeepsie from our sche-d'ule is- the'wise move.

study. The individual applies thelash, the individual produces his ownwvork;, originally, with no obligationsto hinder him.

There is another aspect of thissuper-scholarship o f scholarships,which appeals highly to this writerof outspoken o-Dinions. The elimina-tion of credit for degree will effectu-ally keep those workers of formulae,those memorizers of facts and systemsand processes, from stealing opportu-nity from the more creatively en-dowed. Only the student genuinelyinterested in producing and creating,the real scholar, will be attracted.

In addition, one supreme blessing isseen, in that a student will not be ex-pected to confine himself to the limitsof a subject already defined, thusburying himself in the horrid graveof specialization. It is fairly concededthat the creator is not the man whoknows all the formulae in one smallcorner of his particular field. To thescholar who may be a fellow of thissociety, the entire field of knowledgeis open, without restrictions, andfrom this he may abstract such por-tions as he needs for the pursuit ofhis own idea. With the abolishmentof the conception of the specialist inone subject, we may look for real pro-duction in fundamentals. Truly isthis a school for the genius.

It is thus that we regard what maybe called President Lowell's last ges-ture at the conventional world of edu-cation. He has made scholarship some-thing other than a game pursued forthe sake of trivial prizes.

"You are so full of moods, Lecora," said Peter Walmsley speakito Violet Heming who is playing tleading role in "There's Always Juet", and that just sums it all up. MiHeming does a wonderful job in caturing the moods and presenting therealistically to the audience. Happpouting, love-sick, in the heightsjoy, rueful and somewhat doubtfwhether she should continue to enj(her new found lover, gay, "mad", slplays them all to perfection.

It's light, it's gay, it's comedThat's the cheerful little play at tiPlymouth for these two weeks. Itall about the reserved English giwho meets the young American wlhas already fallen in love with heand just from seeing her acrossroom at a tea that same afternoontoo. He is full of sprightliness, ancertainly he is no sticker for dignitand formality. She is somewhashocked, yet quite content to endurhis attentions, crude as they be according to the English standards. Buit really can't be called "endure", fobefore he has been in her apartmenfor long she calls up and pleads sickness to get out of a dinner at he-aunts and all so that they can go t(dinner.

It's the acting, not the story tha,makes this play. Violet Heming an(Roger Pryor do an excellent jobt, sheas the English lady and he as th(American. Then there is LiliarTonge wcho plays the part of theshocked, horrified nmaid, Florence,"who knew Leonora since she waltborn, in fact since before she wasborn." And Peter, poor Peter, _playedby John Graham Spacey, who makesa good job of the admiring English-man.

How John Van Druten wrote a playthat can keep an audience interestedfor the whole evening in the love af-fair of two young people is wonderful,for during the whole time one isamused, pleased, or perhaps even ap-plauding.

The course of the play shows "Steve"as Dwight calls Leonora, and "Steve",as Leonora calls Dwight, making loveafter they have both fallen at an af-ternoon tea. It is -nothing more thanthat, for an entire evening. He comesto her apartment without a formalintroduction, she breaks a dinner en-gagement, they go driving the nextday, he has to leave for America af-ter three happy days, there is a sor-rowful departure, and a happy re-*nion when he gets a second cable,they go out again, Mama callsdaughter L~eonora from France. Shetells her what has been going on, and"Steve" says "Hello, Mama", curtain.

The lines are clever: an example,when tiley meet after he has gone tothe boat and come back after receivinghis cable: He, "Did you sleep much lastnight?" She, "No," He, "Neither didI," "Well you know marriage neverwas much of a cure for insomnia."

It is something that appeals to,el eryone. Drop in some night andenjoy yourself.

SHUBERT THEATRcEP'aul M~uni in "Counsellor-at-Lawv"

By ELMER RICEHere is a play that represents what

sone have deprecated as the modernNew York school of the drama, butit is a representative of the best ofthat school. It is written around agood plot, well developed, the starportrays his hero forcibly and verita-bly, and he is ably supported.

While the theme could not possiblyoffend anyone, some of the languageand minor comedy is what might betermed broad. It seems to be thefashion nowadays, though; and itmust be said that it fitted in so welliVith the rest of the play that it wasn1ot objectionable.

, ~OPERA HOUSE:,"Melody", produced Monday night

!at the Opera House, is something new.in the way of George White produc-tions. This is no revue, but musicalcomedy almost operatic, with musicby the justly famed Sigmund Rom-berg. The cast, the costumes, thedancing, the whole show was good,sometimes to the extent of being ex-travagant. Hal Skelly, Everett Mar-shall, Victor Morley, Walter Woolf,Evelyn Herbert, Jeanne Aubert, andmany others whirled through partsthat left the audience more than satis-fied.

The singing was good throughoutthe show, both the songs and thesingers doing their parts. A couple ofbeautiful songs, too soon to be popularjazz tunes, and a happy musical scorefor the whole musical brightened upthe show. Several clevrer and distinc-tive dances, and specialty dancersprovided the George White touch.

Almost no plot accompanies themusical, still there is sufficient thatthis is no revrue. The long span ofyears allows most of the players tohave dual roles. And it gives Rom-berg a chance to weave his tunes overseveral periods of the last century.

of the other's superior wisdom."Algebry be damned. Do you want

to know how I'd do the problem?""Yes."

"Well, one man could do the job inone hour, so in half an hour he woulddo half the job. It took the othertwo hours to do the job, so in one halfhour he would do one quarter of thework. That would be three quartersof the job done in one half hour, orthirty minutes. In ten minutes bothof them together would have done onequarter of the work, and it would takeforty minutes to complete the job."

T he remarkable mathematicianagain pushed his now over-awed pupil.

"Here's another problem for you,"he continued.

At that moment the student noticedthe automobile for which he was wait-ing. With a short "I have to go", hequickly escaped.

The fact still remains that the In-stitute should immediately close itsdoors, should send its students towork, and should use its buildings tohouse the poor.

Chances That A Senior Will GetA Joh Are Discussed By

Frank L. Locke

If you read THE TECH carefully,you will know that almost all reviewsstart with a description of the coverDf the magazine being desecrated. Bed

ing original we shall turn the coverpage and describe page 141 to you.Being impressionists we shall showyou only the most salient feature ofthat page. Here it is:

CONTENTS (Condensed)The Outlook for the 1933 Senior -

Frank L. Locke.A Laboratory for Practical Electron-

ics - Truman S. Gray.Society - A Problem in Thermody-

namics-Harold Ward.The Sun - An Engineering Master-

piece - Donald H. Menzel.Helping Industry to Build Itself -

Leonard H. Church.The Manufacture of Printing Ink -

Carl E. Foss.The first article is rather well

written. It contains excerpts fromspeeches by such eminent authoritiesas Owen D. Young and Dr. Karl T.Compton. In addition Frank Lockeplaces a careful summary of the in-dustrial situation in relation to theSenior before the reader. This articleis recommended.

The Electronics LaboratoryIt is interesting, no doubt, to study

electronics, and hence it is interestingto read about the subject. The articlein to-day's T. E. N. is more or lesshistorical in temper, with especialreference to the development of thelaboratory at the Institute. From aliterary point of view we can notpraise the work. It is written in astyle which leaves one in an indiffer-ent mood. The writing is insufficient-ly definite and visual. Perhaps thisis because Dr. Gray had to write downto the student level. Writing down, wewould have you know, is hard work.

TechnocracyA student of 2.42 would hardly con-

sider society a problem in thermody-namics, yet this is the claim HaroldWard advances in an earnest andclear article on Technocracy, approvedby the new god, Howard Scott. Wewish to say one thing immediately:Harold Ward can write clearly, andHoward Scott can not.

Howard Scott likes big words, issomewhat of a mystic (the two oftengo together), and also tends towardconceit, as is proved by his callinghimself Technocracy and "a group ofdistinguished engineers." Conse-quently we are not at all surprised toread (between the lines) that Tech-nocracy is only an old idea turnedbackwards and polished up a bit. Wedo not mean old in a historical sense,but old in the manner in which a jokeis old. Technocracy is only the agedscarecrow that every economist-jingoflaunts at technicians every so often.The machine is conquering man. AndHoward Scott adds "It should." Hisattempt to prove anything of the sortis absurd. Who makes and runL3tS themachine ?

Material Long Known

The rest of Technocracy, as HaroldWard reveals it to us, is also un-original. The enormous increase inproductive power is something Nor-man Thomas would have gladly toldyou about if you'd asked him, _and theenormous waste of productive poweris fully treated in "The Tragedy ofWaste" by Stuart Chase, who is nota socialist.

Energy determinants, or something,is original with Scott, and is nonsense-except with a socialistic govern-ment. The share of production whichis awarded to each person must eitherbe determined by the government,which is what socialism means; or by

the laws of supply and demand, thatis, by the price system.

Issue Is ReadableNevertheless Harold Ward has writ-

ten an extremely interesting articlein a readable style; an article whichone might very well buy a copy of theT. E. N. to read.

Of the remaining two articles wecan only comment on the first, for theproof of "The Manufacture of Print-ing Ink . . . ", which is to be done incolors, was not ready at the time ofthe writing of this review. "HelpingIndustry to Build Itself" is fairly in-teresting, but we shall not say moreabout it because this T. E. N. con-tains such interesting material thateveryone ought to get their own copy.

Note: We have given our own op-inions on Technocracy, basing them onthe facts Harold Ward presents.

Bell System service must go on all the time. Dayand night, Sundays and holidays, it must handle t rwith speed and accuracy not only the usual traffic

but also the unexpected rush of calls.

To m-ieet this obligation, Bell System men tackle

problems of many kinds. At Bell Telephone

Laboratories, scientists develop new kinds of

apparatus. At Western Electric, engineers findways to make telephones, switchboards and cable

more and more reliable. In the telephone com-

panies, traffic engineers devise improved operating v

methods that make service faster, more accurate,more dependable.

Result: at noon or in the dead of night, the

public reaches confidently for the telephone, ;

knowing that Bell System service never stops.

(Continued from page Theo)

"Then you don't believe in educa-tion?" the student asked.

"Oh, education is all right, but it'sbeing over-done. An old sea-captainlearned me to read, write, do arithme-tic, and even a little algebry. I knowenough and that's all anyone elseneeds to know."

These were the wise words issuingfrom the mouth of the loiterer. Hegave the student a familiar push andcontinued to vent his wisdom.

"Take my brother for example. Heonly went to school two years, butwhat did he do? He sailed a shiparound the Horn five times without anaccident; five times without an acci-dent. I'll bet there isn't one fellowover there at that school who couldsail a ship around the Horn."

"But our education is of a differentsort," the student remonstrated.

"Education be damned," was theemphatic reply. "All you need is alittle common sense." Again he gavehis hearer a familiar shove.

"That's the trouble with these edu-cated fellows: they haven't any com-mon sense. For instance, here's aproblem that shows what I mean: Ifone man can do a job in one hour,and another man can do the same jobin taco hours, how long will it takethem to do the job together?"

Remembering the work problems onwhich he was drilled in his prepara-tory school days, the student thoughta moment or two, probably two, andreplied:

"Forty minutes.""That's right," assured the wise

man. "Now that problem was givento a group of teachers, and would youbelieve it, most of them said it wouldtake three hours."

"But you have to use algebra tosolve that problem, don't you?" ven-tured the man from Tech in the face

that society is to science and engi-

neering- what the Phi Beta Kappa so-

ciety is in alrts, letters, and philoso-

phb. Its purpose is the promotion ofscientific research in institutionswhich offer op-portunities for inv·esti-

gation.

Its membel ship is mnide lp of hfcul-

ty niembers· lwho have shown some

important achievement in original in-

vostig-ation, and of uplirelclassmen or

Praducate students who Save shownnmarked excellence in sonie branch of

pure, cr applied science. Because

very few undergraduates are ad-

initted, it would not interfere in the

least with such societies as Tau Beta

Pi or Alpha Chi Signia.

The society boasts a total iember·-

ship of twenty thousand throughout

the whole country. In this section,both Harvard and Yale have chapters.

Sigma Xi originated in 1886, when a

group of scientific research men con-

verted a discussion group to a re-

search fraternity. Later they ex-

panded the organization to a nationalfratezrnity.

The idea of introducing a chapterof Sigma Xi is not new. In January,1920, faculty members of the Institutewho were members of other chaptersof Sigma Xi drew up a petition for

M. I. T. Gridiron Takes Place ofPi Delta Epsilon at

Pi Delta Epsilon, the national hon-

orary journalistic fraternity, no longer

has a chapter at Technology. At a

meeting of the members of this sp-ciety it was voted to return the char-ter to the national organization andorganize a new society which is moreadapted to the needs of the publica-tions at the Institute.

The M. 1. T. Gridiron is the nameof the organization which now knitsthe four undergraduate publicationstogether. The name was copied fromtthe famous National Gridiron Clubmade up ofl News Correspondents inWashington, D. C.Mome Adapted To Technology Needs

Membership requirements for PiDelta Epsilon restricted the numberof men eligible to join to such a lownumber that it was felt that the fra-ternity did not justly represent thepublications, As a result -the neworganization makes eligible for elec-tion to its membership all men on theJunior and Senior Boards of the pub-lications, and also in special cases mniiwvho have spent an equal amount oftime as the members of the Boar ds,with a particular publication.

Inthings going along just as nice as pie,except for the fact that the presidentwas in a hot argument witli a newpledge who thought he was somesomebody and was holding out for noSaturday work, because it cut in onhis date time, when I just shut him uplike that. Yes sir, just like that, heshut up.

Of course when I was pledge, Iwormed out of the work pretty easy,because they were so glad to get methat I just about ran the house. Yousee, when I was in high school, I ranthe paper and did the major part ofthe dramatic work for the club, andbesides I came in on the Podunk HighSchool Alumni scholarship, so all inall, they just looked at my record anddecided that they had better hang onpretty tight to a good thing.

Well, to go on with the story, therewas the president arguing the pledge,,

Someone told us to say that the

Junior Prom Committee says that

they don't think that THE TECH is

giving them any support. Went even

farther, in fact, and let us all in on

the fact that THE TECH is going

right to the hot place. But it didn't

worry anybody. We have been in so

many hot spots at one time or an-

other, that one more, more or less, is

as nothing.Well, even if the bosses won't co-

operate with you Messrs. Junior Prom

Committee, we will. We're all full ofsupport. We realize how cold, cruel

and misunderstanding the world is,

and if you feel blue sometime, why

just come around when we have our

special extended epaulets with theTurkish absorbers adjusted, and youcan all have a good cry together, poor

dears.

Word comes to the extended earthat the Tech Show is all set to go;lines fixed, stage set, rehearsals going,and all the rest. In short, everybodyis primed for a successful season, ex-cept for the fact that they can't thinkof a name, and so must hold back allthe publicity -until something nice inthe way of titles turns up.

Well, well, why didn't they comearound to the old mhan himself. Weheard the sad tale and immediatelyset our creative mind to integratingover the public-reaction function,combined with an appropriate factorof timeliness, to say nothing of the in-tellectual fad function and arrivedat the one appropriate solution, whichis not exactly original, - Techno-crazy. Oh no, no extra ch-arge. AllIn the day's work-for wp man an THETECH.

Twittering hysterically after thefirst term's work we have vowed to dosomething about it all, and have de-cided that the best method will be toband it right back to the professors,just exactly the way it came to us.Wherefor we append our idea of theway we yearn to write our papers inthe forthcoming exams. It follows.

Well, woell, I haven't heard one likethat in quite some time. Merely amatter of fundamentals, merely amatter of fundamentals. Really, pro-fessor, you must have only a bird'seye view of this course if you have toask a question like that. Extremelysimple, I must say, extremely simple.

Now let me see. First of all, by re-ferring to formula 95, page 450 ofyour book;, - you have the book, Ihope? -it will easily bie seen that anumber of simplifying assumptionsmust be made to get rid of the dis-turbing f actors.

Now we do this by, -but I musttell you a story, professor. This re-mlinds me of the incident that occurredat the last meeting we had over at thehouse. You know, I was rushed heav-ily by most of the better houses onthe camipus, but I finally joined upw-ith Alpha Alpha Alpha. These bighouses mzay be all right, but I prefersomething where you can rub elbowswvithbftle next fellow, and kIIow all thenime that there is someb~ody who isO. K. in every -way.

IN a newspaper with a history of more than half a century, in-Idividuals come and go; the institution continues. Each suc-cessive group carries on the work for its allotted period and re-tires, delegating its responsibilities to those who are to carry onfor the following year. Thus with this issule, the Managing Boardof Volume LII finishes its work and retires from the scene ofactive endeavorol

It is with a mixed feeling of joy and sadness that we relinquishcontrol of the undergraduate newspaper that during the past yearwe have come to regard as our own. We are glad to be relieved ofthe responsibilities, yet we are sad that we must stop short now.But our time is up, and as we retire from the field we wish thenemw luardstlzvvt-y success and assure Technology that we considerour successors worthy and capable of guiding THE TECHthrough the coming year.

BY POPULAR DEMANDnBLIVIOUS to the demands of the student beady, the Junior

0 Prom Committee is wasting time and energy in advocatingplans which they know full well are not in line with majority opin-ion. They seem to forget that they are serving as representatives ofthe Junior class, and not by "divine right". It is up to them toyield to popular sentiment. When the Institute Committee re-fused to pass the proposed budget, they reflected majority opinion.To receive the full support of the Junior Class the cost of theirmajor social function must be kept as lowv as possible.

Besides keeping the initial expense down, the Committeemust consider the interval that is left between the dinner and thestart of the dancing. We have already suggested that there couldnot be a more fitting way of enjoying the intermission that view-ing a perf ormance of the Tech Show. We have also pointed out thaton the Wednesday and Thursday nights preceding the Prom, andthe evening following the show will be produced. What coulld bemore convenient than to remain in Walker Memorial for the en-tire evzenin-(? Yet the Committee seems to be doing their best toprevent Tech Show from being presented. They give as a reasonthat it would be difficult to prevent the cast of the Show from"clashing" the dance. What could be simpler, hav~e them comedressed informally. Then they will be unable to attend the dance.Whyr the Prom Committee should be so determinedly opposed tothe presentation of the Showe remains a mystery.

While this may have a particullar bearing on certain coursesat the Institute it does not strike so close home at Technology ingeneral as it might at schools where a larger por'tionl of the Borokis of a descriptive nature. But even so, we have enough coursesof instruction capable of being passed through the exercise ofsheer mwersory alone. A goodly -number of the subjects in eachcourse are ofe the descriptive type. It is necessary that a man learnof the "state of the art", as one professor puts it, and -when suchcourses are required for graduation it is only natural that the stu-dent turn his memory to work at this point and save his thinkingf or the courses that require analytical interpretation.

Engineering is not the type of work that lei-ds itself best tothe "parrot" technique. True enough some of it does, but thlegreater portion does not. There are "parrot" courses, but wve areblessed with being almost free of the peculiar birds.

of Co-captain Adam Sysko, who hadto be taken out of the game in thefirst half with a temperature of 102degrees.

The next game was with Rhode Is-land State, another of the teams todefeat the Engineers last year, andthis game the Providence team lost bythe score of 40-33. The Technologyteam showed up particularly well onthe free throws and on breaking upthe enemy offense before it really gotstarted.

The Union game, which the Engi-neers won 38 - 36, was a brilliant ex-ample of fine defensive play in thelater stages. This game was almostexactly opposite from that with Clark-son Tech, for the U~nion team made,a strong comeback, nearly tying thescore.

The high point of the season so farhas been the Brown game, which wasthe first after the Christmas vaca-tions, and which the Engineers wonhandily, 54 - 42. The game wvas fast,the opponents had a very strong team,and it was only by playing their bestgame of the season that O'Brien,Shaughnessy, and Feustel were ableto accumulate between them fifty-twopoints, more than enough to top theforty-two which the Bruins managedto score against the remarkable de-fensive playing of the whole Technol-ogy team, of which Pat Amenta wasespecially outstanding.

As a let-down from the fine playingand teamwork of the Brown game, theEngineers played probably their worstgame against Lowell Textile, a defin-itely inferior quintet. They tried shotafter shot without success. EvenO'Brien was missing shots from underthe basket. The Lowell team was lead-ing by quite a margin at the half.In the second half the play was justabout the same as in the first, when,with about eight minutes to play,Coach McCarthy sent in Tom Murphyat guard. Murphy was not botheredby the jinx that seemed to hang overthe rest of the team and he soon sanka couple of shots. This seemed toawaken the others, and they began todrop them from all angles. One shotfrom center court by Co-captainSysko, which went through withouttouching the rim, did much to restoreconfidence. Finally the Engineers,who had held their opponents score-less since the start of their rally,passed the Lowell team and just man-aged to get enough points to stave offa last-minute rally. The final scorewas 30 - 28.

In the Amherst game the Technol-ogy quintet seemed to have recovered,and they outplayed a strong team towin 40 - 30. Technology led all theway and was never inl danger. TheLord Jeffs fought hard, but the supe-rior playing of their opponents wastoo nuch for them to compete with.

With the admirable record to dateof six wins out of seven games played,and with a winning streak of five con-secutive games, Technology's varsitybasketball team looks like the strong-est to have represented the Institutein many years. The five teams re-maining to be played after mid-yearinclude Tufts, Harvard, and New1ampshlire, the latter two of fahomthe Engineers barely defeated lastyear, while they lost to Tufts.

,.First Technzique In 1885

Whefi~the first issue of the yearbocappeared in 18-85 is was very unpritentiou ".-attemptiing only to preserNfor posteriity a record of events. T1editors at that time expressed tflhope that "by making the first ievery way a success, we shall seelong line of Techniques stretching iperspective towards the future.Looking back over -the various volumes we see many changes for thbetter which bear out this wish. Thfirst four Techniqutes kept the originasmall size and paper covers, and nountil 1889 do we see the lusty anmgrowing infant in new clothes. Tha~year the book was enlarged and boundin board covers.

In 1892 the yearbook institute(many of its features, and again i]1895, began to publish photograph.of the faculty. It- must be remem.bered that at this time good repro.ductions of photographs on the printedpage were very expensive, and as aresult very few of them were pub-lished. The 1903 Technique mirroredthe radtical changes in athletic's thattwere made at that time. By a voteof the student body, football and base-ball were abolished 'and the presentform of Field Day was substituted forthe old Cane Rush. Also., color workwas introduced at this time.

It becomes harder to isolate furthernoticeable changes as we come nearerto the latest volumes. Technique be-comes more than a catalogue of thosewho took part in this or that, forpages of text describing the variousundergraduate activities are more andmnore in evidence. The 1910 book dis-tinguishes itself by introducing a sec-tion devoted to interior views of theInstitute. The books of this periodhave become more and more cumber-some in thickness. It wvas not until1914 however, that this was relievedlby the increase of page dimensionsthat have been standard since thistime.

One of Houdini's most spectacular escape featswas performed with a huge milk can filled withwater. He invited persons of the audience to bringpadlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the 'pcan, the lid was put on and fastened with severalpadlocks. A screen was placed in front of the can.Assistants stood by with stop watches and fire axesto save him from drowning after a certain time.About a minute later, the screen was removed,Houdini was seen panting and dripping ... the 7padlocks remaining intact!

EXPLANATION:

The usual method of escaping from a milk can isas follows: The lid of the can is apparently secure-ly padlocked to the lower portion, but actually themetal band to which the staples are attached is thetop of a short inner lining. The performer, afterbeing locked into the can, pushes the lid upwardwith his head and the short inner lining is forcedout of place, pernitting his escape. The screen isthen removed.

What exciting magic there is in cigaretteadvertising

Let's look at one of its greatest illusions... that cigarettes can be mysteriously givensuperior "FLAVOR."

THE EXPLANATION: Just three factors con-trol the flavor of a cigarette.The addition ofartificial flavoring...the blending of varioustobaccos...and the quality of the tobaccosthemselves. Quality is the most impor-tant. Artificial flavoring can never whollydisguise the poor flavor of cheap tobaccos.

The blending of several cheap, raw to-baccos cannot improve the favor of anyof them. A fine cigarette is a cigaretteblended from costly, ripe tobaccos.

It is a fact, well known by leaf to.bacco experts, that Caamels are

made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVEtolba6cos than any other popular bracnds

This is why the Camel flavor has neverbeen rivaled ... why Camels have givenmore pleasure to more people than anyother cigarette ever made.

In more costly tobaccos lies the secret ofCamels' delicate "bouquet"...of their rich,cool flavor-of their non-irritating mildness.

It's the tobacco that counts.All the natural goodness of Camel's to.

The installation of Mr. Rocco Fal-cione as head chef has seen the pre-paration of ordinary dishes in anunusual and attractive manner. Hehas attempted to give each dish theproper seasoning which so often dis-tinguishes American cooking fromEuropean.

Says Chef Falcione, "Americans donot enjoy their meals; they hurry toomuch. In Europe people eat leisure-ly, and after eating they sit at thetable and talk, thus deriving full bene-fit from their meals."
