No. 13Vol. LXIV"Gabriel Edward Martin Gaza de-

IRoetth," etc., etc., reads a tatteredbirth certificate, "born in the to~wn-ship of Szeged, Hungary, in theyear of Our Lord - " (Censoredbecause the draft board isn't toknow.) That was the first warnm-ing the world got of deRoetth'scoming. A short while later theinfant spoke a. word and it wasdecided that Gabriel was not thename to call him by.

Timei flowed gently under thebridge and then Pappa deRoetthdecided to leave Hungary. Thefamily, in their haste, hurtledacross the Atlantic and almost flewon by America, but they managedto slow down in time to land inSpokane (pronounced spo-kan),Washington. Gabe, quite a bril-liant lad by now, was placed inGonzaga High Schol in Spokane,and, when he got tired of amusinghimself there, went onto GonzagaUniversity.

Spans Continent Second TimeAfter a year of Gonzaga Univer-

sity, things got boring in Washing-ton and Gabe decided to take alook at the country he was now in.Once again he overestimated thesize of the United States, abut didget stopped before he ran into theAtlantic when he hit Boston. (Icwould be ever so easy to digressand put in a few kind thoughtsabout Boston here.) Presumablythere was some reasoning involvedwhen deRoetth decided to go toM.I.T. So here he is in Course X,and a success at that. This articlewould be much shorter if the lastsentence was not true, but, havingmade it, we will qualify it.

In his Sophomore year at Tech-nology, Gabe got on the Electionsand Institute Committeees. In thespring he played lacrosse. He keptthese activities alive within him-self and added to his honors thepostion of junor member on theSenior Week Commitee. That same-year, he pledged Alpha Chi Sigma.This year, his Senior year, Gabe isstill holding down what he gath-ered in earlier years, swapping hisjunior member3hip for a seniormembership on -the Senior WeekCommittee, a plain position for

In the April 7 issue of The Techthere appeared a biased editorialconcerning the activities and func-tions of the Quadrangle Club. Theday before, one of the members ofthe last year's club had been inter-viewed by the editor. This inter-view was carried out in a most cor-dial fashion.. The following day TheTech come out in its usual hypo-critical manner by slinging a notuncommon amount of mud. Theeditor presented his petty griev-ances to the student body by bothmisstating the facts and drawinguntrue conclusions. To keep therecords straight, we wish to statethe proper facts. Thirty-five prom-inent freshmen, representing everymajor activity, were interviewed bymembers of the preceding Q Clubat the end of the last term. As aresult of these interviews, twelvemen were chosen as a nucleus ofthe new club, and ten mnore wereselected at the first meeting. Thusthe last "farce election" nettedtwenty-two men who entered theflub at the beginning of the pres-ent term.

Your suggestion that we have up-perclass officers and run Field Daywe discount for three reasons. TheQ Club is a Sophomore Honorary)rganization consequently shouldbe run by Sophomores. We maintainthat the past failures of the clubare greatly due to the lack of co-operation of these selfsame upper-cl-assmen. Thirdly, Field Day shouddbe run by non-participants to main-bain a spirit of fairness. The pres-ent Q Club has been in operation fora little over a month. As its firstproject it chose to enforce the fresh-man tie rule. That it was success-ful is shown by the fact that onlyfour freshmen consistently failedto comply with the rules.

We maintain that an organiza-tion, any organization, that has asits function the betterment of anyphase of Institute life is indeed asworthwhile as an activity that doesa halfway job of bringing to stud-ents some obvious facts, some an-nourncem-ents, and some news thatcould be as competently handled bythe bulletin boards and one pageper month in Voo IDoo. Everyoneshould clean his own house in theSpring. We've cleaned ours!

Not long after he came to Tech-nology, Gabe decided that Chi Phiwas the best fraternity for him. Heseems to have figured that hecould do more drinking and lesswork there than at any other houseafter seeing the size and excellenceof the houses beer-stained files.Since then, in between telling thefreshmen what a lousy bunch theyare, he tells the Sophomores longland glorious tales of the prowessof every member of his pledge class.

At the last meeting of the Interfraternity Conference t

the suggestion was brought up that the Latin-American House ebe admitted to the Conference. It was promptly laughed a

downs and ignored on the grounds that the House had not been r

in existence for two years, a requisite for membership according f

to the I.F.C. constitution. tThe I.F.C. might not have acted as it did if its members t

had fully comprehended the situation better. They undoubtedly i

acted in good faith but by no means completely understood E

the motivations of the students they were dealing with. An N

open-minded investigation of the group might lead the I.F.C. e

to change its decision -in part. rThe Latin-American House was founded last November t

by a group of South American students. It is run along much l

the same lines as a fraternity, but the South American students, Swho have never had any experience with fraternities, are anxiousto learn more of the details of fraternity organization, thoseless obvious to outsiders. They would like to participate in

Institute sports, and other activities.

The Interfraternity Conference could assist them in this, !

even by only letting them attend meetings. Should they beleft to develop as best they may, in no way connected withthe I.F.C., when the two years have past they may well havedeveloped along other lines, and the I.F.C. will have lost apotential member. This could be a serious loss, for the Latin- i

American House will not lose men to the draft, and may become Jpowerful if it continues to grow at its present rate. It is only .common sense that the I.F.C. should aid and direct the develop-ment of the Latin-American House.

Not only is it common sense, but it is also common courtesy.We are, in a way, hosts to the South American students, andas such we have been neglecting our duties. They have cometo the Institute with good-neighbor feeling, Pan-Americanism,and the expectancy of cooperation. Instead of being greeted

.with the same feelings they have been totally ignored, so thatthey are forced to organize their own house, and devise waysof publicizing it.

Their organization, with assistance and supervision, can

develop into a fine and Important body at the Institute, andan important part of the I.F.C. They have the ambition, theyhave the ability. May we humbly suggest that they be giventhe assistance, the opportunity?

RKO BOSTON-Bill Robinson, the

world famous dance star, is the

stage attraction here this week.

Along with Bill is Dolly Dawn a cute

little vocalist, and Pat Henning, Who

has a pretty good line of jokes. The

curate account of the raid on Makin

Island. The famous Lieut. Col. Car-son is played by Randolph Scott.

Margaret O'Brien. By devious means

she becomes mixed up in a report-

er's love affair, but in the end she

makes everything come out all right.

James Craig plays the usual happy-

go-lucky reporter, and Marsha Hunt

his'sweetheart. The second picture

Joe Besser.

ous, side-splitting, or any other ad-

jectives you could think of still

tionably the funniest picture of the

is the whole show. Even Dinah

Shore, one of the best vocalists in

the country, is overshadowed by his

performance. Don't miss this pic-

ture, it's tops. Passport to Destiny,the second picture, can be tolerated.

METROPOLITAN-Continued for a

second week is Standing Room Only,

a film about busy Washington, D. C.Paulette Goddard and Fred Mac-Murray are the lovers who can'tfind a place to stay in the over-crowded capital.

Kappa Sigma overtook the D.U.'s

in the opening game of the Beaver

Key Society's Volleyball Tourna-

ment held in Walker Memorial Gym-

nasium last Wednesday evening.

They took two straight games by

the scores of 15-5 and 15-12. The

second engagement of the evening

saw Phi Kappa Sigma defeat Phi

Kappa twice by the scores of 15-5

and 15-2.

The game was comparatively new

to most of the players, but never-

bheless proved very interesting to

them and the spectators. The game

between Kappa Sigma and Delta

Upsilon was the highlight of the

evening. The D.U.'s took an early

lead with a score of 7-0. The Kappa

Sigs sparked by the playing of Her-

man Aguierre, 10-46, finally won

the game.

In the Phi Kappa Sigma-Phi

Kappa games, Phi Kappa Sigma

scored easy victories. Bob Hilde-

brands 6-45, was their star player.
