S. Richard Childerhose was lastWednesday elected president ofnext year's Senior Class. George A.Schutte was elected to lead theJunior Class, and John F. Burlkwas elected Sophomore president.Jerome T. Coe, present Senior Classpresident, was reelected by theClass of 1942, to serve henceforthas Permanent President.

With a total of only 926 men vot-ing, the vote was considerably un-der that of recent years when ap-proximately fifty per cent of thestudents cast ballots. This drop isin line with the tendency noticedin the past few years, when less andless men have voted each year.

John W. MctDonlough, Jr., waselected Vice-President of the Classof 1942, having trailed Childerhoseby several votes, while John O.Karstrom was elected Secretary-Treasulrer, defeating George C. Ma-rakas by a very small majority.James A. Malloch and Robert S.Reebie were elected Institute Com-mittee representatives of this class,with Robert J. Schaefer as alter-nate. In their freshman year theClass of 1943 cast 500 votes; lastyear this number dropped to 311,and this year it fell off to 195.

"Pops" AlrternativeThree Alternatives Are

Listed By Senior Board|Because of the vacancy left in the

,traditional program of Senior Week

Iby the fact that the evening atI the Pops Concert must be dropped,

i a poll is being held whereby three{ alternatives will be offered for thatevening, announced S. Young

Tyree, '43, last night. This is thefirst evening of the program, thatof Friday, April 24th.

The first alternative is a barndance. The second alternative is adance to be held at the Common-

wealth Country Club. The SeniorWeek committee has considered

having a well-known New Englandorchestra. The- third alternativeis that of having all the participantsof Senior Week activities attend the

popular "Hellzapoppin"' produc-tion. This would necessitate thefulfillment of two conditions. First,

total price of Senior Week mustimmediately be increased by $3.30,as it would become necessary tocontract for the entire theater.This would allow the '"Hellzapop-

pin' " cast to revise the productionfor a Technology audience. Sec-

enne and "Sis" Frothingham, along

and Java and that surr~ender woutldbe a Beautiful Thought, on accountof Bushido.

No matter how you slice it, saysAlphie, it's still Bushido, but nloNippo has got an exclusive patentto make, use, or sell same. We gotBushido, too, Bunker Hill model,right there on Bataan.

Rattles No SaberBunker Hill Bushido rattles no

sabers and bankrupts no peaceablepeoples. Mostly it pitches hay, orpumps gas, or sells insurance. Thenthere comes a war. So it marchesout of step to the wrong hill, takesup an indefensible position, neg-lects lines of supplies and retreat,puts major-generals and hay shak-ers behind the same redoubt, swap-ping chewing tobacco, and thenwaits till it sees the whites of theenemies' eyes. Bye and bye it runsaway because its powder is allgone, and the professional flag-wavers, what's left of them, movein on the redoubt, what's left ofit. So Bushido bye and bye buildsa big monument there and DanielWebster makes a speech, and every-body feels good for a couple. ofhundred years. John Paul Joneshad Bunker Hill Bushido, too, sodid Perry, and Jeb Stuart, andTeddy Roosevelt and SergeantYork, and Joe Blutz.

It's shirt sleeves against goldbraid, 0 Sun of Heaven, and watchout for it when its gets tolling.Vichy papers please copy.

Great Pacific WarBunker Hill Bushido is what wins

in this Hector Bywater his TheGreat Pacific War which has justbeen published again. It was fictionin 1925, but now it reads just likethe newspapers, only too much so.Seems the war then was allimaginary, but Mr. Bywater's Japsdid all the things pretty much thatHirohito's boys have done and hadUncle 03am hanging on the ropes.He gets smart, though, just beforethe bell. Should have been requiredreading at Annapolis, 1925 to date.(Copy to Admiral Kimmel.)

A new life of Edgar Allan Poethere is, by this Arthur HobsonQuinn. It is Scholarship, First Class,and has all the Facts. It's the kindof biography J. Edgar Hoover couldhave written if he'd had two of hisbest men tailing Poe every minuteof his (Poe's) life. You can findout all about Poe except How andW~hy.

MORE VOTING PLACES, MORtE VOTERSThe votes have been cast, the officers elected, but, in spite of

vociferous pleading and goading from every quarter, the student body has once again failed to turn out in even a moderately largenumber to select its undergraduate officers for the coming year.This evidence, in combination with the minute attendance atthe elections forum Monday night, is conclusive proof that thestudents have ref used to shoulder the responsibility of taking anactive part in the election of their class officials.

Figures released by the Elections Committee show that theSophomore Class had the greatest number of representatives atWednesday's voting with 3 2 appearing, only slightly over fiftyper cent of the entire Class. The freshmen, as usual, turned outin a comparatively large body, 254 strong this year but stillonlly about a third of the Class roster.

The Junior Class managed to bring 195, or one-third of its total enrollment, to the polls to elect not only their class officers,but also the leaders of the entire undergraduate body. Thatmeans that one-third of one-fourth of the complete studentbody selected the leader of that body and that the winning candi-date received the votes of less than one-twelfth of those whomhe is to serve during the coming year. Poorest record of the daywas chalked up by the Seniors, when 1 5 2, or approximately one-quarter of the Class, participated in the elections. Although themen they chose will have very few undergraduate duties to per-form, the Seniors have displayed practically no interest in thefuture of the Class.

The smallness of these figures and percentages makes it evi-dent that the students will not go to any trouble for the demo-cratic privilege of casting their votes. Therefore the obviousanswrer to the problem of securing a reputable response at Classelections is to bring the elections to the students. Under thepresent procedure, the student must travel to the Main Lobby ofBuilding I10, where classes of ten f ail to take him, to cast his vote.If voting places were set up in other parts of the Institute,Walker Memorial for instance, more students would be accom-modated and a more representative cross section of studentopinion would be obtained. Consequently, we recommend tothe Elections and the Institute Committees for serious considera-tion the erection of more voting booths in different locations inthe Institute at the next election.

PUBLICATIONS AND THE POCKETBOOKUndergraduate publications have placed a strenuous de-

mand upon the pocketbooks of Technology students and haveprobably decreased to some extent their own incomes this pastweek. Three magazines, T.E.N., Vlu, and Voo Doo, wi'II havemade their appearances on the sales desks in the Main Lobby ofBuilding 10 by the time that this issue of The Tech is dis-tributed. To expect the average student to purchase a copy ofeach of these three periodicals in the space of one week is, webelieve, expecting a lot.

Each potential buyer, however, who has neglected to pro-cure each of the magazines because he did not want to dole outseventy-five cents in one lump, represents a loss to one or moreof the publications. In times like these, when advertising hasbecome scarcer and printer's costs higher, student magazinesmust turn to every available means in order to make the booksbalance, and that loss, small as it may seem, is serious.

In order to facilitate the sale of all three of Technology'sundergraduate magazines and to extend their dates of publicationover a longer period of time for the benefit of the students, thethree managing boards concerned should cooperate on their ownor with the aid of Gridiron to formulate a more orderly scheduleof the dates of issue.

Senior Week(Continzued J0111, Palle 1)

in addition to the balcony seatsalready sold by the Senior WeekCommittee, option holders wouldhave to bear a certain extra ex-pense of guaranteeing these addi-tional seats. This is due to thefact that Alumni Day will besmaller, thus leaving less poten-tial alumni buyers of Senior Weektickets.

Cards are being issued to all theSeniors by which they may specifytheir choice for the alternate prc-gram. It is imperative, announcedTyree, that these be returned im-mediately, as the results will bepublished in next Tuesday's issueof The Tech.

Tyree likewise announced thatanother opportunity for the re-demption of Senior Week optionswill be given on Thursday and Fri-day, April 2 and 3, in the Lobby ofBuilding 10. If not redeemed then,it will be necessary to raise the re-demption price by one dollar.
