MENO11. SOCIETYHERS BRASLAVS& I

Jewish Symphonyr Leader TalksOn Composers; Madison

Quartet Plays

With Professor Braslavsky, conduc-|tor of the Jewish Symphony Orches-tra as feature speaker, and a concertby the Madison Quartet, the M. I. T.Menorah Society was host to membersof its Intercollegiate chapter at a con-cert and tea held last Sunday at theFelix Fox School, 403 Marlboro St.,Boston.

Professor Braslavsky spoke of thegreat Jewish composers-Mendelsohn,Rubenlstein, and Blochl - illustratinghis points at the piano. Deploring theabsence of men at the concert andcomplimenting the women on their in-terest in music, he suggested thatmusic should play a larger part in theIactivities of the college students.

The Madison Quartet included thefollowing selections in their program:Double Concerto in D minor

(2 violins) ........................... BachPlay Gypsy, Play, from operetta

Countess Maritza .................. KalmanBallad in G minor (piano solo).XhopinHungarian Dance No. 5 ............... BrahmsBrindisi (violin solo) .................... Alard

Thoroughly satisfied with the suc-cess of this' concert, the Menorah So-:ciety is contemplating sponsoring a lsimilar one in the near future. In -vaddition, an unusually large programof activities has been planned to sup- 1plement the club's regular functions. l'

The only clue in connection with thetheft is that a young fellow, givingthe name of "Bob White", called atthe house Saturday, claiming to knowtwo members of the frat, who werenot in. He was shown over the houseand soon left. Everyone at the house,however, disclaims any knowledge ofsuch a person. It is thought that hetook this opportunity to familiarizehimself with the layout of the house.

Completion of an experimentalmodel of what is believed to be thefirst mechanical calculating machinefor the solution of simultaneous equa-tions was announced at the Institutelast Saturday. The device was design-ed by Dr. John B. Wilbur of the de-partment of civil engineering underthe direction of Dr. Vannevar Bush,

vice-president of the Institute. Itrepresents a new step in Technology'sprogram of developing mechanical de-vices for the solution of mathematicalproblems.

The significance of Dr. Wilbur'smachine is indicated by the fact thatthe labor involved in the solution oflarge numbers of simultaneous equa-tions has stood in the way of engin-eers in their analysis of many import-ant problems. The rapid solution ofsuch equations will provide engineerswith a practical tool for the solution

Coming from behind after losing thecrew race in the morning, threesmoothly functioning Sophomoreteams swept over the freshmen togain nine points and insure a Sopho-more victory in the annual Field Daycontest last Friday afternoon on TechField. The Sophomore victories werein the relay race, tug-of-war, andCootball game.

Although the final score was 9-4 inFavor of the Class of 1937, the fresh-nen gained some revenge by winninghe glove fight, with a total of 129loves. The Sophomores gathered 107f their opponents' gloves, but thenarshals detected six of the '37 menliding their own gloves, and deductedthirty from the Sophomore total, mak-ing the final glove fight score 129-77.

Freshmen Win Egg FightThe freshmen won an unofficial vic-

tory in the egg and vegetable fight,which took place intermittently behindbhe temporary stands near the rifleange. Not only were there severalimes as many freshmen as Sopho-nores, but the yearlings had muchnore ammunition than their oppon-,nts, especially in the'number of eggs.

Fraternity social events assumed amixed aspect during the last week--end. Besides the usual formal dances

a beer party and a costume ball wereon the docket. Attendance of theFaculty reached a new high.

No. 6 Club on Saturday eveningheld a satisfying beer party at whichthe amber fluid shared prominencewith pretzels. Dean Lobdlell, Bursarrnhind, and Professors Schell, Wiener,and Elder quaffed and chatted, addingcongeniality to the occasion. Boxingcoach TommyY1 Ratwso1 assured theparty of success.

The Phi Gamma Delta, dance, F ridayevening, was honored by the presence,for a short time, of Dr. and Mrs.ICompton. Ed. Murphy and his orches-tra from Worcester furnished themusic with untiring continuity.

Theta Delta Chi inaugurated a newbar and game room at a dance Satur-day evening. The orchestra (KenReeve's) was the best the house hasever had.

The gobs and gobs or people whoattended the S. A. E. sailor dancewere rather disappointed with the

ation of the scientific explanation oftable-turning, a subject much discuss-ed in Faraday's time.

A -new column, "Bending Moments"thlat; is promised to appear "Loccasion-ally" merits attention. The writers!of the column who sign themselvesthe Quidnu-nes have ably dealt; withthe decreasing number of bearded andmustachioed faculty members since1900. The whole matter has beenshown graphically on a table, figuresfor 1934 showing that only three percent of the faculty is underbrushy.

REST FOR TH-E WEAPRY-,

A FRESHMAN-COMMONS ROOM ;

~qHERE has always been a~di~stinct, shortageIr of facilities at Technology fo r loungingand relaxattion' during free hours." While co-edshave the Maargaret Cheney Room and gradu-ate students in the pure sciences have theMoore room for this, purpose, the majority ofstudents have -no place to rest or indulge inleisurely conversation except the halls ofW6aalker Memnorial.

While most of us can endure this privationwithout undue 'suffering, it would be especiallydesirable for the freshamen to have a loungingplace ork commons 'room of their own. H-erethey could more easily become -acquainted witheach other in the difficult early months of theschool year and could find surcease from theforbidding austerity of the long fa~ctory-likehalls and the sepulchral classrooms. All thatis needed is a suitable room located in the malnbuildings, with a few easy chairs and sofas,some books and magazines, and perhaps aradio or victrola, to create a more home-like at-;mosphere for the new students.

It so happens that there is a room in Build-ing Two, wlzere most of the freshmen's classesmeet, which would be ideal for this purposeand which is now being used for nothing at ~I

de' lorable waste of some 3000 square fee-cof floor space. The room is 2-390, a large,spacious chamber which, up to last year wassmaintained as a branch library for the Divisionof General Studies but which was closed 01iaccount of curtailment in the library expendi-tuares. The room is well-lighted and has a ceil-ina almost twice as high -san o .-neo-hlrooms of the building. All that is needed issome furniture to transform it from a uselessexpanse of empty floor area to a needed coni-mons room for the freshman class.

THE MONO~KEY'S PAW~

F.E.R.A. WAGE REDUTCTIONS

A MONG measures instituted by the presentI X government for the relief of a nationwhose living standard had been badly hit byan unprecedented industrial depression wasthe Federal Emergency Relief Administration.Provision was made to aid needy students whootherwise could not attend institutions ofhigher learning. This is as useful a type-ofsubsidy· as can be foulnd for it creattes a largerstore of trained men than would otherwise beavailable, with resulting benefit to the com-munity.

As lonw as present wages and unemploy-ment conditions exist., we consider that anyact stopping aid to needy students would beunwise. However, obsjections which have beenraised to policies of the FER~A administratorsare even more unwise because they are basedon unsufficient grounds and emnperil the wh-olesystem.

The M. I. T. chapter of the National StudentsLeague has stated thatt it will attempt to or-ganize, all FERA workrers on the campus inolrder to protest against a recent 255% (wage"reduction bringing the rate down to thirtycents per hour. This reduction was orderedby the administrators of the FERA and didnot originate from Institute authorities.

TChe maximum amount allowed to each stu-dent remains the same, but to get it a studentmust work longer hours. To a certain extent,the new ruling makes money available to alarge'r number of students than before.

The N. S. L. claims that for work of sucha skilled nature as these students do, a h~igherrate should be paid, that students work toohard for their monthly allowance.

It occurs to this paper that many of the jobsnow held by FERA students would not beavailable were it hiot for the funds providedby the government, that" were students to ob--tain outside workr on their own hook tahey-would receive little if any more per hour, thatthe money provided by the FERA does notbelong by right to these students, but in plainlanguage is considerably of a gift.

It is doubtful whether The National Stu-dents Lea-ue will receive much backing frontFERtA workers here for most of them knowthe tale of the monkey who saw a jar full ofnuts, and in his eagerness to obtain all hecould grabbed so large a handful that he could-not withdraw his hand from the conmtainer. Itis not in the nature of man to jeopardize thecertainty of thirty cents an hour for the veryproblemaitic possibility of forty -cents an hourand perhaps no job.

An added indication tlhat this protest move-ment will receive its strongest opposition fromthe FERA students ttheriiselves is indicztted bythe attendance at the last N.S.L. meetingwhich was exactly'sixk.

Day, but; they. evidently don't intend~to take it; lying down. We detectedthe following sentence in a story onField Day submitted by one of onWfreshmen candidates.

Now while theSophomores might have lost a barrelof fish belonging to them, we doubtvery much that it -was a barrel ofSophomore fish. So we quietly revisedthe sentence to conform to Prof. Pas.sett's rules on libel.

THE TYPEWRITER'S FACE

HE primary goal of machine civilizationIF is to make materials useful. Utility firstand beauty second has been the order of pro-gress of mechanical technique. Designers havelong been at work in the decorative arts im-proviing the character of advertising callig-raphy and style, but one of the atrocities ofour present culture, the typewriter, has beenneglected.

The typewriter that speeds up the produc-tion of the written word three-fold, the type-writer that bangs incessantly in the news-rooms of papers the world over, the typewriterthat has become man's chief tool in transfer-ing human thought into ink and paper and hasbeen the medium through which flow noble,beautiful, inspiring ideas produces an illegibleaffront to the human eye. The only printedpage that is harder to read than neostyle, thephotographically reproduced copies of tvpe-writer copy used recently in textbooks, is thefinancial page of a newspaper set in six pointtype.

But the typewriter as a mechincal time-saving device is not to blame. It has becomean integral part of a motor-driven society andlikes greatly reduced the burden on humanshoulders especially the shoulders of thosewhose job is writing and those who must read.The greater part of the benefit has thus far-o-one to the writer, who can bang out onethousand words per hour without gettingwriter's cramp. But the report-reader, theletter-reader, and the owner of a neostyle text-book are obliged to wade through the uglystream of awkward letters for hours at a time.

Some persons will dismiss this criticism ofthe typewriter's type face as unworthy of con-sideration. But let their eyes run skimmingover a page of twelve point Garamond type,and it is safe to state that they will heartily

-ree that the improvement of modern type1. -ices is a noble cause. Recent books have madeuse of the exemplary work of contemporaryGernian and American designers, the type-,,Nriter being for the most part forgotten. Itis encouraging to note that a famous typ�-designer is now in the emplo'y of a large type-Writer manufacturer. It will be more encour-a-in- if more concerted effort is made in thisJono-ne-lected field.

�:, el

The typewriter has --already had effects or,Llie liandwritin- of those fortunate ones who,can use the devilish system of hammers tofiwilitate the production of the printed word.1handwriting has gone through various sta-(?3f i-om what one Annerican has called the "Spen-cerian fancy skating of our forefathers" to than"hen-tracl&' of the modern business man that' 'belie any interdependence between hand andhead." Users of the typewriter have droppedthe plume to assume the keys, and consequentUnfamiliarity with pen and ink has resultedin the deterioration of the "written" word.Handwriting will never be entirely abandoned.But as the typewriter becomes more widelyused, Ion-hand will be thrust into the discard.We have neglected handwriting overlong. Nowthat it is in its decadence, let us not'neglectthe typewriter's face.

EXCHANGE PROFESSORFIFE GIVES OPINIONS

ON LIFE OF TEACHERl

Has Had Varied Experience AtOhio State and Miami

University

"Treat me gently!" Those were thelast words I heard as I stepped outsidethe office of Professor John P. Fife.The exchange professor from StevensTech, Professor Fife, has, for thisyear, swapped places with ProfessorWilliam Greene of Technology's Eng-lish Department. It seemed strangefor a member of the faculty to speakso to an undergraduate, but then, Pro-fessor Fife is nothing if not na'turalwith his students. Perhaps that isthe reason he is already so well-liked.

Professor Fife thinks highly of theidea of occasionally exchanging placeswith someone in a different university.It keeps him out of a rut, he claims,and adds much interest to his work.He has been teaching English atStevens for the past five years, andfive vears in succession without achange of scene is conducive to leth-argy. Besides, the opportunity to com-pare the methods of teaching thereand here is invaluable, he continued.At Stevens, he said, the English de-partment has expanded into the De-partment of Humanities, which in-cludes those studies classified at theInstitute as English, History and Gen-eral Studies. Conference hours atStevens, he said, continue throughoutthe entire four-year college period,rather than for only the first two.

When asked what he thought of theInstitute, Professor Fife admitted hehad no very original thoughts on thesubject, and said that even if he did

AreWeight and Perfect TimingThe Deciding Factors

After practically conceding the firstpull of the tug-of-war to the Sopho-mores in eighteen seconds, the firstyear men came back in the secondtussle to hold their rivals for muchover a minute. The heavier weightand the more polished work of thesecond year men was the telling factorin the result.

The first pull was a walkaway forthe Sophomores, who dragged thefreshmen over the line in eighteen sec-onds. The yearlings were anythingbut prepared when the gun went offand were no match for a team thatworked with perfect timing and co-ordination showing the result of longhours of practice.

Although the Sophomores were con-fident of an easy victory in the secondpull, the yearlings were determinedto fight and it was only this that keptthem in for a minute. Here again thelack of practice on the freshmen'sside was shown when they failed tofollow the counter in pulling but mere-ly took the defensive and tried to holdtheir opponents. On the other hand,the Sophomores kept close to theground and refused to give an inch,but the power was shown by the factthat a number of second year men fellexhausted when the final gun went off.

The committee in charge of thefreshman military ball at the Univer-sity of Minnesota plans to attach dancetickets to the necks of five white micewhich will be released at strategicpoints on the campus.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAMFOURTH IN N. E. A. A. U.

Mort. Jenkins Leads TechnologyContingent At Finish

Coach Oscar Hedlund was well sat-

isfied with the showing of the varsitycross-country team in the New Eng-land A. A. U. meet held last Satur-day, in which race the hill and dalersfinished fourth out of five entrants.

There is more to the story than that,however, because the Tech runnerswere competing against four athleticclubs having older and more experi-enced runners, and because the racewas run over a 61/2 mile course insteadof the 4 mile race to which the boysare accustomed. The fastest time wasmade by Mort Jenkins, who finishedeighth, but all the team stood theadded 21/2 miles in great shape.

On Monday, November 5, both theVarsity and freshmen will raceagainst Holy Cross, of Worcester atFranklin Park. Last Saturday theFrosh lost to Quincy High.

COACHES WELL PLEASEDWITH FRESHMAN CREWS

The Crews Will Be Taken OffThe River This Week

Better times may be just around thecorner for Tech as far as rowing goes.Both Frosh coaches seemed satisfiedwith the work of their crew which up-set the Sophomore 150's on Field Day.Coach Nashner remarked that as faras rhythm and timing went, it wasthe best freshman crew which he hadever seen row, either in the spring orfall. The crew however, is by nomneans a finished product, and thefrosh went right back to work Mon-day morning. They had intended togo out on the Charles, but the extremecold at 7 A. M. forced them to workinside on the machines, as did thevarsity. The Frosh will go off theriver for good after this week, butCoach Haines has not announced hisplans for the Varsity.

BAD WEATHER HINDERSTENNIS TOURNAMENT

The tennis tournament has beendragging along slowly. Though tnethird round was scheduled for thisweek, ill weather and lack of interesthave retarded its progress. The sec-ond round is now being completed. Itwill be necessary for the participantsto play their matches immediately ifthe tournament is to be completed.

Tickets for this Saturday's Harvard-Princeton game are on sale at theT. C. A. Office. The prices are $3.30for section 22 and $1.65 for seats insections 20 and 40.

TWO YEAR SCORINGLULL IS BROIKEN

Soccer Eleven At Last Scores;Freshman Schedule

Is Cancelled

Breaking into the scoring column

but still not quite strong enough todefeat its opponent, the varsity soccerteam has at last broken 3 jinx whichfollowed the team throughout all oflast season and threatened to do soagain this year. A goal in the firstperiod which kept the Tech team inthe lead for nearly the first half of thegame was the first score this team hasregistered in two seasons. Dartmouthmanaged to score two goals in fhe sec-ond period and two more later in thethird period which caused the defeatof Tech 4 to 1, but the team has atlast proved it can score. Now all theteam needs is a victory and we canexpect one any day with the spirit ofthe team raised a great deal in thelast game.

It is not exactly known who scoredthe Beaver goal but both Cheng andWiniarski deserve credit for at lastbreaking the ice. Manager Hardmanstates that both men could have scor-ed and there is a doubt as to whichone actually did. The score raised thespirit of the team considerably andbut for a few breaks, they would havescored several times more. In severalinstances, the ball bounded off the goalposts and other scores were missed byjust this small margin. A continuedshow of the spirit showed in this gameshould soon have the soccer eleven oneof the winning aggregations repre-senting Technology.

The freshman soccer eleven has beendisbanded and the entire first yearschedule cancelled because of the fail-ure of the first year class to supportthis team. The Technology lineup forthe Dartmouth game was as follows:

Gray, g.Forsburg, r.f.hJ. Hamilton, L.fb.Bemis, r.h.b.Essley, c.h.Allen, l.h.b.A. Hamilton, o.r.Cheng, i.l.Waxman, c.f.Winiarski, i.r.Blanton, o.l.

SOPHOMORES WINGRI1DIRON CONTEST

Superior Experience DefeatsFighting Freshman

Team

Sophomore experience proved toomuch for-the freshman football teamlast Friday: the latter were the losersby a 12-7 score. The Soph squad func-tioned smoothly from the openingplay, while their rivals did not findthemselves till the last half. It is notto be thought, however, that the gamewas a one-sided affair. The frosh gavethe second year men a stiff battle upto the final whistle as shown by thefact that, with a few minutes to playthe freshmen went right ahead andscored their only touchdown.

End runs were the chief source ofgains for the Sophomore squad. Boththeir touchdowns were scored bysweeping end runs by Joe Heal, whowas helped beautifully by his inter-ference. Most of the second yearsquad's passes were completed toJim Thompson whose height and longredach made it easy for him to jumpup in the air and snare the ball. Heplayed an exceptionally good game re-covering three fumbles. Captain Brit-tenham, left tackle, also played a bril-liant game. Jack Simpson and J. Webbdid a good job in calling the signalsand carrying the ball while Zemansky,left end, and the two guards, Cestoniand Bishop, played a good defensivegame.

The outstanding freshman playerwas the left halfback, C. Shulman,who carried the ball time and timeagain for long gains. A. Chmielewskdidid a good job in calling the signalsand kicking. It; was a shame that thefrosh did not use his kicking abilityto a greater extent. It was also lewho carried the ball over the goal ina center plunge after the ball had been

TWENTY MEN RESPONDTO BASKETBALL CALL

Four Veterans From Last Year'sTeam Report

In response to Coach McCarthy'scall, about twenty upper classmen andthirty freshmen turned out for bas-ketball practice yesterday. With

Johnny Demo, Fletcher Thornton, BillGarth and Freddie O'Brien, of lastyear's varsity and Jack Simpson, WinGay, Jim Thompson and WalterWojtczalk, stars of last year's fresh-man t11eam, as a nucleus, a good squad

should be developed. The team svillfeel the loss of Captain-elect Kennedy,who transferred to Michigan.

The objective gamne on the schedulethis year is Harvard. The Engineersdefeated Harvard on its home courtlast year and are anxious to make ittwo in a row.

The freshman representation atpractice was very satisfactory. Verylittle can be judged from the firstpractice session but it does appear asif there is some good material in theyearling ranks.

GYM TEAM OUTLOOKGOOD STATES COACHChamPionship Meets Are To Be

Rield In Teclhnoidiy Gym'Near End Of Season

The comig season promises to beone of the most successful which the

Tech gymnasts have had in many aseason. Coach Halls Neudorf wa's ex-

tremelY confident of having a success-ful season this year because of the ex-

cellent way the veterans have been

performing and because of the num-ber of promising freshmen who havecome out for the team.

The number of veterans is in itselfan encouraging sign; Jack Flaitz, vet-eran tumbler, high bar man and ropeclimber is back again; much to Tech'sadvantage. The team is made stillstronger in tumbling by the presenceof Emory G. Hukill, '37. Dick- Lewis,star man on the parallel bars andrope climber is expected to bringhome some honors for Technology.The team is especially strong on thehorse because Harold Miller, '36 isback again. The two Benson boys,[Robert E., '37 and William M., '36,ivwizards of the parallel bars and ringsand the high bar are expected to ful-fiil the promise they have shown inthe workouts. Motorn I. Weinberg,

t'33, ace of the high bar, is laid uptemporarily with a sore shoulder, buthis team mates expect him to morethan hold up his end in the team com-petitions. It is hoped that DaveiWerblen, "36, an excellent man on theparallel bars but superlative at thejrope climb will once again conquer forXthe team. Roger Needham, '35, ex-iperienced ring man will be one of thepreserve men that are so necessary inta pinch. The prospects of the teamare further enriched by Ernest E.

IVan Hamn, '3a, the captain, winner ofithe N. E. A. A. U. Junior Champ~ion-|ships in the flying rings. He is also anexcellent tumbler and rope man.

The team has an important anddfficult schedule ahead of it this year.owever, all the meets except two,

those with Princeton and Dartmouth,'will be played at home. This, ofcourse, is important because the mengill be familiar with the apparatusand will feel more at their ease in,their own gym. The Eastern Inter-collegiate Championships, in which

,Army, Navy, Princeton, Temple,kSpringfield and others will compete. In>addition to this feature, the WalkerMemorial Gym will be the scene ofthe New England A. A. U. Champion-,ships, both Junior and Senior meets.

Ex-Mayor Janies Ml. Curley of Bos-ton was introduced by Gerald M.Golden,'35, President of the 5:15 Club,the presiding officer. Mr. Curley,speaking of his service as mayor ofBoston, declared that, after weather-ing the economic disturbances of 1914and 1922, he was able to bring Bostonthrough this depression without thedischarge of a single city employee, orany reductions in pay, until the Fed-eral act made this necessary.

We have to hand it to Oscar Hedlund for his ability as a prophet. Notonly did he pick the winner but also the correct score. On top of all this henamed the victors in each event. Oscar ought to be able to do pretty welldown at Narragansett.

That one-handed catch by Hier of the freshman team in the lastperiod of the football game sure was a peach. It would have been acredit for anyone to have snared that pass. It seemed to us that thefreshmen had the better forward passer but they didn't have anyonelike Thomson on the receiving end. Thomson was jumping up andgrabbing the ball out of a maze of interfering hands.

Congratulations to the soccer team! After nearly two years of patienteffort the booters: finally broke into the scoring column Saturday. Let's hopethey don't experience another two years of goose-eggs before they put theball between their opponents' goal-posts.

Walcott and Munroe will meet. for the Indoor Baseball Champion.ship of the Dorms some, time this week. The date has not been setdefinitely yet, but there is a strong possibility that the contest will bestaged Friday morning. It is an odd thing that Wood, after beingvery soundly trounced by Munroe in a league game, turned aroundand just as decisively drubbed Wolcott in a practice contest betweenthe two outfits. In all fairness to Walcott, however, it should bemade known that all its first-string men didn't show up for the Woodencounter. Wood, in turn, looked like champion in that game.

"It is America's duty," he said, "tovote for every Democratic name onthe ballot, because no man laboredmore intelligently, or with greater dili-gence, to speed up the consumption ofgoods, and to bring about re-employ-ment, than President Roosevelt-andno man was more hampered."

"To preserve the written Constitu-tion, we must safeguard the physical.Massachusetts must fall in behindRoosevelt and demonstrate that thewelfare of the people is most import-ant."

Mr. Alfred B3aker Lewis, the Social-ist candidate for Governor, was thenext speaker, and he devoted himselfto an explanation of the principles forwhich the Socialist Party Stands.

"Capitalism won't work under aNew Deal, or an Old Deal," he said,"since under that system, the em-ployee is just an item of expense, asfar as the employer is concerned." Mr.Lewis declared that in proportion aslabor costs are cut, the power of con-sumption is likewise cut. Thereforethe capitalistic system breaks downevery 8 or 10 years.

Since the safety valve is jammed,Mr. Lewis proposed that we must nowgo forward to a Co-operative Econo-my. "WLe must run industries, not forthe benefit of employers, but for thepeople."

Lieutenant-Governor Bacon was un-avoidably detained, so Judge Franklin

'W. Miles of the Roxbury Court, thelast speaker, spoke in his behalf. "IIam not interested in the issues of pettypolitics," he said, "but I am inter-ested in a square-shooter, a real man,Gaspar G. Bacon. The searchlight .ofinquiry can be turned on Gaspar Baconwithout revealing anything unwhole-some."

Judge Miles declared that the com-ing campaign is not an issue of the'New Deal, the Old Deal, or the Mis-Deal, but a question as to whether youwcant Curley, ex-mayor of Boston,or Lieutenant-Governor Bacon, whohas been ill the State House for 10years."

"Don't let them throw sand in youreyes!" he said, "There is much dis-cussion of a New Deal, and an OldDeal, but the real issue is betweenGaspar Bacon and James Curley."

tical the use of methods vhich dependon the solution of a large number ofsimultaneous equations, which willgive engineers more precise informa-tion as to the nature of their problems.

Interest Grew Out of Work inStructures

Dr. Wilbur's interest in a machinefor the solution of simultaneous equa-tions grew out of his work in struc-tures and the analysis of stresses inbuilding frames. Such analysis iscomplicated because the stress due towind in each member depends uponthe makeup of every column andgirder in the entire framework. Be-cause of this condition, an exact an-swer involves the solution of an ex-tremely large number of simultaneousequations. To avoid this engineersusually resort to a p p r o x i m a t emethods.

Before the invention of this newcalculating machine, Dr. Wilbur haddone considerable work with thesebuilding stresses. He devised a newmethod of analysis which, while stillapproximate, gave more accurate re-sults than those in use. The new ma-chine will give exact results withoutthe difficult and involved labor ofhand solution.

Graduate of InstituteA graduate of the Insitute in 1926,

Dr. Wilbur received his master's de-gree in 1928 and his Doctor of Sciencedegree in 1933. He has served as as-sistant and instructor in the depart-ment of Civil Engineering and lastJune his appointment to the positionof Assistant Professor of Civil Engin-eering was announced. Besides his the-oretical knowledge of structures, Pro-fessor Wilbur has had practical ex-perience in the bridge engineering de-partments of the Maine Central andt'ne New Yo-rk Central Railroads.

National Student League AidsIn Seeking To Procure

Minimum Wage

Furthering their plans to obtain repeal of a recent tXenty-five per centwage cut, student. FERA workers metlast Saturday to formulate a definitecourse of action on which workers willvote at a mass meeting at five o'clockthis Friday in Room 4-270.

The National Student League pro.posed that a telegram be sent toH. L. Hopkins, Federal Administrator,followed by a letter stating the propo.sition in full, and that a letter be de.livered by a delegation to A. G. Rotch,State Administrator, also stating thestudent's proposition.

It was agreed that a minimum wageof fity cents an hour be requested,with further appropriation of Federalfunds to make it possible for a student to earn thirty dollars a monthinstead of fifteen as formerly. It wasalso proposed that the clause discrimni-nating against part-time students beremoved, and the total percentage ofjobs available be raised from twelveto twenty-five per cent of the enroll-ment.

At the mass mneeting Friday allFERA workers are invited to vote onthese proposals; finally the finishedproposal will be drafted and actionwill commence.come out.

Submitted

Plans for Tech Show are rapidlyproceeding forward, manager Fred A.Prahl, '36, announced yesterday. Sid-ney Grazi, '35, has already producedabout one-half of the musical score,while the management has againsecured the services of LangdonMatthews, director of Tech Showchoruses for the last seven years, todirect the shambles of the chorines.The cast will be under the directionof Robert M. Becker, '34, Arthur B.Ellennwood, '34, and graduate students,and William W. Pritchard will havecharge of the scenery pushers andstage hands.

As yet no particular type of showhas been decided on, but "Masque",the Tech Show honorary society, feelsthat a revue would be in order 'thisyear, and is prepared to encourageembryo writers by offering a prize forthe best script submitted. The exactdetails of the offer will be announcedlater. Although the revue is favored,any type of show will be considered.

The business managership of the1935 show will be in the hands ofCarlos F. Lavanas, '35, who has an-nounced that the position of advertis-inlg manager is open to any Sopho-more or Junior who is interested int~his end of the business management.
