More men are needed to carry outthe work of the Technology ChristianAssociation, which does a great dealfor the Institute in the way of pub-licity, by bringing the idea of col-iege, and particularly Tecli, to theboys of high school age with whom itcomes in contact. The undergraduateswho are working with the T. C. A. aredeveloping determination and thepower of decision through constantpractice, for they are entirely respon-sible for the carrying out of their own

FIRST YEAR MENARE SIXTH AMONGTHIRTEEN SCHOOLS
Penn State Is Winner, BillCox Retaining His
Championship
McCLINTOCK LEADS TEAM
Penn State gathered in all the ma-jor honors at the I. C. A. A. A. A.cross country meet in New York onMonday when her harriers won the
I team and individual championships inboth the Varsity and freshman divi-sions. Technology's Varsity team fin-ished in fifth place, while the fresh.men came in sixth.
Bill Cox, the great Penn State leader,won the championship for the secondyear in succession after Richard Det-
I wiler, from thle same college, had takenfirst in the yearling race. Normn Mc-Clintocl, the first M. I. T. man tofinish, took 13th place, with Capt. PeteKirwill not far behind in the lSth po-sition.
At the very start of the Varsity raceCox jumped into the lead and therewas little doubt at any time that theleaderl of the Nittany Lions would re-peat his victory of 1926. Jimmy Reid:of Harvard twice took the lead in theearly stages of the race, but it wasHarry Richardson, New England clhm-pion, who challenged the Penn Staterunner in the last mile. The Mainerunner cut down the lead to 80 yards,but as they neared the finish. Coxspurted and had a margin of a hun-dred yards at the end of the race. Thetime was 30 minutes 36 4-5 setconds,over half a mifinute slower than hisrecord 1reaking performance of lastyear.
When the points were checked uip atthe end of the meet it wNras found thatthe Penn State team had a margin often points over Harvard. The NittanyLions made an extremely good show-inlg for both Harvard and Mlaine hadthe best teams in their history andwere all primed for the race. All oftheir men finished in the first 25,

DRAMSHOP REQUIRESMEN FOR PROPERTIES
Men to Handle Stage Material
Needed in OranizationFreshmnen handy with hammer and
saw, who are not afraid of a bit ofmamial labor and who are still iinde-cided as to which activity to go out for,are just what the Te(h Dramshop, theInstitute's latest venture in fieldsdramatic. is looking for. As everyoneknows, 1no production. can be stagedwithout those unseen heroes, the prop-erty men, and that is something whichthe infant activity lacks at present.
Since the Dramshop plans to pro-lduce about three plays during theforthcoming season, it may be seenthat such a position will not be slight-e(!, and that it will play a very im-portant part in the suiecess of the newventure. Then again, the future stagemanager of the ompany will probablybe chosen from the property men, sothat this affords some men an excel-lent chance of becoming stage man-ager in future years. It is advisablethat any men interested in this Uncorksignify their intention in the nearfuture.

Electric TreatmentMakes Cold Dogs HotElectric hot dogs are the most
recent developments of Dormingenuity. Finding himself witha supply of wieners on hand andwith no visible facilities forcooking them, a future Stein-metz residing in Atkinson de-cided to let the power house dothe trick. A wire is hooked toeach terminal of the sausage, the110-volt current turned on andthe "cookey'" stands by till thedesired degree of heat and crisp-ness is reached. The success ofthis method is evidenced by therapidity with which these deliva-cies disappeared among the in-terested bystanders.
Infirmary Will ProbablyReady For Use By
Be
Next June
"Class of 1901" will appear over theentrances to the new dormitory unitsit was announced by Bursar Horace SFord yesterday. This action has beertaken in recognition of the gift whiclhthe class made toward the buildingfund, a gift which was a considerableportion of the money needed for asingle unit. It has not yet been decided what person or group of personswill be honored at the other entrancesbut the final decision on this will soonbe made.
All work on the two units is expectedto be finished by the beginning of thesecond semester. The plan at presentis to transfer the residents of '93 toone of the new units and lease roomsin the other to students on the dormitory waiting list, leaving '93 vacant.Repair work and a general renovationof it will then be undertaliken, and bythe end of the second term it is expect·ed to have it once more as good asneW .
Old Halls to Be RenovatedDuring the summner session, students
will have the use of the two new unitsand '93, and renovation and repairwork on the older halls will be started.It is expected that all the units will beready for occupancy at the beginningof the next school year. At presentthe amount contributed to the dormi-tory building fund is insufficient topay entirely for these two new units,ibut it is hoped that by the spring theAlumni will have contributed enoughto make up the deficit and warrant thecommencing of other units in the even-tual quadrangle.
Physically, the two new units willbe much like '9t. The exterior con-struction is exactly the same through-out, including the granite platform infront of the entrance. The inside con-struction, however, is slightly differ-ent. Some of the rooms are arrangedin a slightly different manner, and allof them are larger. All of them wvillbe singles containing a lavatory, andthe average rental wvill be about $5.50per week.
Rooms Best for the MoneyEvery effort w-ill be made to make
the rooms as comfortable as possible,according to Bursar Ford, who statedthat in his opinion the new rooms willbe the best in ally college for themoney. Outside construction on theunits is now complete, but it will takeabout two morle months to finish the in-terior and about tvo weeks to furnishit. Some of the rooms have alreadybeen plastered, and some of the plumb-ing fixtures have already been in-stalled, but a great deal more of thiswork is yet to be done. The paint jobalone will probably take a few weeks.
Worlk on the new AeronauticalBunilding and on the Richard HombergMemorial Infirmary is also progressing
apidilly. Indications at present pointto the conclusion of the former byabout the middle of June, because ofthe great amount of detail and specialworlk which must be done.

Professor-emeritus George Ab-bott Osborne died of pneumonia athis home on Beacon Street lastSaturday. He was chosen byPresident Francis A. Walker as amember of the original faculty ofthe Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, and taught mathe-matics from the opening of theInstitute in 1866 until he retiredas Professor-emeritus in 1910.
Professor Osborne received hiseducation at the Lawrence Scien-tific Academy, where he latertaught for a year before going tothe United States Naval Academyas professor of mathematics at thetime of the Civil War. Two suc-cessful calculus books were writ-ten by him at this time and arestill widely used. He was a mem-ber of the American MathematicsSociety, a Fellow of the AmericanAssociation for the Advancementof' Science, and the TechnologyClub of Boston.
Freshman ClassOfficers Meet In

Way Monday Second
Meeting Is Today
Section-leaders anti new-ly-electedofficers of the freshman class held theirfirst meeting on Monday afternoonSince this was the initial meeting ofthe officers. C. Brighaam Allen '29, pre-sented them to the section-leaders. Themeeting was held for the purpose ofgetting organized and to start the ac-tivities i the freshman c:lass.
Professor Henry G. Pearson, head ofthe Department of English and His-tory, addressed the officers and the sec-tion-leaders. He told them how to de-velop class spirit as well as Techlnol-ogy spirit. One of the best ways todo this was by getting acquainted witheach other.
To do this the freshmen must gettogether at various meetings such assmokers, boxing contests and danlces.Professor Pearson said that PresidentStratton, the Institute Committee, andthe upperclassmen vwould all supportthe freshman class in anything that itwould attempt to do.
Robert B. Freeman, president of theC(lass of 1931, then gave a short talkin lwhichl he urged thie members to doall they could to boost the class. Free-man also announced a meeting of theofficers to 1)e held in the CommitteeRoom (if W'alkeo Memorial at 5 o'clocktoday.
THE TECH TO HOLDBANQUET AT LOUIS'
Ill accordance with the establishedcustom of THE TECH, a Thanksgivingbanquet for memt)ers of the staff willbe held this evening' at Loais' Cafe,located on Avery' street between Wash-inston and Tremont. The affair willbe informal, and will bring togetherabout 50 members of the various de-partments of this publication.
Dinner will be served promptly at7 o'clock and it is rumored that itwill be followed yX an attractive pro-granl of entertainment. Among theinvited guests arle Assistant Dean Har-old E. Iobdell '17 and Winward Pres-cott of the Department of English.
NEW BOOK SHELVESBUILT IN LIBRARY
New shelves are being built to holdthe overflow of books which the li-brary has acquired, it was announcedby Prof. William N. Seaver. Librarian.Since the library was originally built,it has received so many books that ithad not the capacity fior them all.With the addition of an entire row ofshelves, it is believed that there willbe enough room for all the books, andfor many more additions.
Ceonsiderable relief has been feltsince the fines system was installed bythe library, as there are fewer over-due books now than at any time inthe history of the liblrary. This givesall students a fairer chance at thebooks.
Several new volumes have beenadded since the opening of the term,lists of which are posted at the en-trance to the library. Among theseare books on both scientific mattersand fiction. Institute men are urgedto-take advantage of the opportunitythey have of using, the collection.
Will Accept "Tie M. I. T. HARRIERS CAPTUREFIFTH PLACE AT NEW YORK
IN INTERCOLLEGIATE RACESBeing Cleaned" No
Longer as ExcuseHas Been Stereotyped Plea of
Nearly All Freshmen
Without Ties
"I can't wear my tie because it's be-ing cleaned" has been the reply ofabout 90 percent of the freshmen whohave been caught at various timeswithout their class ties byr upperclass-men. By now this excuse has come tobe so stereotyped that it cannot be ac-cepted any longer, even though it maychance to be the truth of the case.
So far, the enforcement cards havebrought out the fact that it is just asmall fraction of the first-year menwho consistently neglect to co-operatewith the rest of their class in regard tothe freshman rules. On the con-trary, they believe that it is smartto thwart the wishes of the majorityof the student body, and becauseof this they are going to be dealt withseverely by the Rules Committee. How-ever, their childish endeavors are invain, for about 95 percent of the classare wearing their ties consistently.
Whether or not a man is having histie cleaned, the rule states that hemust wear it on the Institute groundsbetween the hours of 9 and 5 o'clock.If a freshman can stand the expenseof having his tie cleaned, he can easilyeither purchase another one to wearwhile the other is away, or borrow atie from one of his friends. In anycase, it is a well known fact that twoties, each worn on alternate (lays, willgreatly outwear two ties each of whichis used continually until it is ruined.
Moreover, whenever a freshman goeswithout his tie, it is noticed by hisclassmates, and promotes laxity in theobservance of the rule. This in turninjuries the "Hello Rule." For thisreason,- the 'Rules Committee asks eachfreshman in the interest of his classto make it a point to wear his tie atall tinmes on the Institute grotnrds dur-ing class hours.
VARSITY DEBATINGTEAM TO BE PICKED
Team to Be Picked From EightMen-Frosh Team Chosen
Middleb)ury College, the first op-ponent of the Technology debatingteam, is expected to find that Engin-eers can be good debaters, when theymeet in a debate on the foreign policyof the United States at Rogers on Dec.14. The team has been preparing forthis debate for a long time, and twoteams have been chosen, from whichthe final team will be picked. In the,first team we have Ralph T. Jope '28,President of the Senior Class. SolomonHorwitz '29 and Paul V. Keyser, Jr.,'29, while the second team is composedof Joseph Harrington. Jr., '30, JamesG. Muir '.0 and Howard S. Gardner,Jr.. '30. From these two teanms therewill be picked the team that is to de-bate Middlebury, following the finaltryouts about a week before the debate.
Four men have been picked for thefreshman team. These are: Leon Kol-ker. Thomas Mackesey, FrederickMoss and Gordon Shellard. This teamwill engage in several debates withother teams, the schedule to be an-noounced definitely, in the near future.
M.I. T.A.A PlansRevised Form of
Eligibility CardsSales of Season Tickets Have
Been Brisk in FirstThree Weeks
As soon as the present stock ofeligibility cards is finished, a revisedform of card will be put out by theM. I. T. A. A. in order to avoid thediffie.ultie. which are continually aris-ing because of the flaws in the make-up of the cards which are now in use.
By leaving a space for those men1who have transfered to the Instituteto state during what year if any, theywere entered in athletic competitionin another college, all problems aris-ing because of the one year ineligi-bility rule at Technology will be d(]oneaway with. Heretofore there has beenno place to state the date of athleticparticipation. This places the respon-sibility of determining the eligibilityof these men entirely with the Secre-tary of the Athletic Association, whohas charge of the file of these cards,whereas at present they are checkedoff at the Dean's office, and no onehas the responsibility of decidingwhether or not the men are eligiblefor Varsity competition.
To date $4S.50 has been clearedabove expenses from the sale of sea-son tickets by the M. I. T. A. A. sincethey were put out three weeks ago.This is an increase of $20 over lastweek, and is a vast improvement overlast year, since the tickets had pre-viously not even been issued by thistime. Such returns indicate that con-siderable interest in Technology ath-letics has been aroused among the lo-cal alumni, and seems to indicate that there will be a large increase in |the attendance at games this year. i

and brother-in-law are typical small
town people to whom other peoples
affairs are much more interesting than
their own. They have plenty to talk
about before the play is over. Ariadne
picks one of her husband's clients
whom he wishes her to entertain well
in order to keep his business and doesher best to flirt with him much to
her husband's discomfort.
Katherine Warren as Ariadne takes
the honors for acting as she carries
off a rather difficult part extremely
well. Those people who like a com-
edy of people as they really are, rather
than some comedy of hypothetical sit-
uations will find this a play that is
packed with humor yet entirely to
Itheir liking. Except for a slight ex-aggeration of the character of the
husband's client the characters and
situations are perfectly possible in al-
most any home.

A husband to whom business is the
all important thing and a wife with
a sense of humor form the basis for
A. A. Milne's merry comedy "Ariadne"
which is playing this week at the
Repertory. The whole plot is treated
in the light humorous way in which
Milne excells.
Ariadne, the wife, exercises her
sense of humor to teach her husband
to whom business had always come
first that she should be the first, last.
and all important consideration. The
husband, however, is a man with al-
Hot stuff! The English department
waxes poetic-and so eloquently poetic.
Just see what the Lounger found inhis box:
Dear Lounger:
What is there so absurd
In ties of yellow, and red and
green?
One would imagine, on my word,
Color was something a bit
obscene.
What do the Undergrads all mean
By wearing neckerchiefs drab and
blurred'?
Me, for myself, I like a bird
Looking a bit like Harold Teen.
If you don't care for, y'under-
stand,
These here ties that I find im-
mense,
You might pick out a dozen and
Send 'em along with your compli-
ments.
Or let the Quadrangle Club devise
Something as great a school suc-
cess
As the Freshmnan Rules (I'm
laughing )-yes,
Why not enforce some Faculty
ties!
Yours sincerely,
Robert E. ("Tubby," the Lounger
takes it) Rogel s.
You should have seen the Lounger
jump around andct click his heels-he's
only forty, y'know-when he finally
managed to comprehend the delicacy
and feeling behind this little ditty-|
ditty is right, isn't it Tubby, or is son-
net, perhaps? Here is a prof who
knows his stuff, and can write poetry,
and has a sense of duty about lim.
Could You imagine Sandman Johnston,
for instance, being capable of such a
lgem, and idealizin, that his effort
might be all for the common good?
|Ye gaw-dls no! But here is a man after
the Loun.ller's own heart. He knowswhat lie wvants, and doesn't care who|
knows it-even to the extent of yearn- I
ning after Harold's sylph-like form. |But to come down to real, sincereI
business. The Lounger does appre-
ciate Tubby's interest in the cause;
he's very, very sorry, bht he hasn't
even a dozen ties of his own, but he.
will de his best to scrape up fifty or
sixty cents and show the man justl
what he thinks is a suitable bit of I
neckwear. And that crack about the I
Faculty tie can't by ally means be
ignored-soine more of that anon.
And now the Lounger lies expectantlyin wait for a missle or so from some
others less gifted, but all the more
willing, of the scores of -remaining
wardens.
This coluinn woudn't be complete-I
after the fine start the yellow-red-
green ties gave it-without a word oi'
two for Phosophorus to wheeze over. I
It recently came to the attention ofl
Loungel that the Bates "Bob Cat" I
and the Colorlado "Dodo" were not
lonn ago suppressed by the respec-
tive college faculties for their all-too-
profuse obscenity. Now wouldn't it
be sad if Phos himself were to go on
a like rampage, and suddenly have
all nine lives squeezed bodily from
him? Think of the humiliation that
would be brought to the door of the
fair Institute-and of the piles and
piles of dough someone would make
on the sale of the suppressed copies!

DUSTY ANSWER, by Rosamond Leh-
mann. New York: Henry Holt and
Company. $2.50.
Most of our present day books deal-
ing with the younger generation of
today seem to approach it from the
point of view of the older generation.
However, in "Dusty Answer," Rosa-
mond Lehmann traces the develop-
ment of a modern girl from childhood
through hel emotional struggles of
youth from a point of view quite de-
cidedly modern.
The novel is more of a biographical
character sketch than a simple storyas it has no major plot which runsthrough the whole of the book unlessit be the rather vague one of the strug-gle with lif e and love in general. Itstarts with Judith as a young childand gives her reactions to her child-hood companions. Then follow her col-legiate days at Cambridge with herearly love affairs and her friends ofboth sexes.

THE IMMORTAL BULL SESSION
A COLLEGE mal without a more or less inherent tendency tothrow all else aside merely for the sake of sitting in at a
good, wandering bull session must be about as human and red-blooded as the aver age curb stone. Such discussions, how-|ever pointless and straying the argnuments often seem, havesome intangible attraction for a mal no matter what his agemay be, and it is often impossible for one -to tear himself awayfrom the group and get down to study or to much-needed sleep.
These bull Sessions have met with very unfavorable criticismfrom outside sources, men who claim to kno1w calling it thecurse of university life. Yet for every such critic, there souldappear to be far more who feel that this informal type ofgroup discussion is one of the high points in a student's career,in which he is given the opportunity and the inspiration to de-velop his own philosophy of existence through contact withthe other fellow's views. But whatev-er the true state of af-fairs may be, it is quite certain that so long as students con-tinue to live together, bull sessions will never pass awvay.
It is in the nature of an experiment that the English Depart-|ment of Technology late last term conceived the idea of hav-ing some ten or twelve picked Sophomores meet during theyregular class hotlr and do nothing whatever lout argue amongIthemselves, giving the course of the dliscussio1 absolutely freeirein. The plain met with instant success. Seldom did the talkIconfine itself to the chosen subject, but wherever it would lead,|the sessions were certain to keep the group absorbed in its ownIthoughts, often long past the scheduled time.
W~hen the Honors section was formed this year, it wuas found|that Keith the increased enrollment similar grroup discussions|were practically out of the question and the experiment washdiscontinued. But so greatly were the members of the original|class impressed wvith the previous success of the idea that theyhave reorganized this term, and are now meeting regularlyat five o' clock Thursday afternoons in their old haunts inBEuilding 2. The~y hiope that all who might be interested in bullsessions as a recognized activity will attend their meetings,even though it would necessitate the formation of severalgr'oups. We recommend sincerely this opportunity to thosewho are accustomed to pass the early morning hours in ses-sions of their oven, for here they will meet men who are pastmasters in the art.

Right now the team is in Xthe best'f ornl that it has been in so far thisseason. All the regulars, with the ex-ception of Baroudi who was injured inthe Wildcat game, are back in play-in, order and several men cello weremediocre at the beginning of the sea-son have turned out to be as good assome of the regulars and will come inhandy as relief men tomorrow.
A lineup similar to the one that wasused against New Hampshire willplobably be employed against theArmy with special emphasis on de-fensive work which will count a greatdeal. The halfbacks attitude of hang-ing back with the fullbacks may provevaluable as a defensive factor, butthey will be needed in the forwardline it the Cardinal and Gray expectsto get ally goals across.
A review of this year's scorles is oneof the lest ways to point out theteam's improvements. They startedout with a 5-0 defeat handed themby Northeastern which has turned outto be one of tle strongest teams inthe east this year. With Worcesterthe Engineers turned the tables and

Keep Colored Students From Entering Into Life of|
- ~~~~College
Of approximately 4,500 students atthe University of Kansas, 124 are Ne-Zeroes. Yet the descendants of "Bleed-illg Kansas" maintain rigid restric-tions to keep the so few coloredstudents from entering extensivelyinto the life of the university.
Race segragation at Kansas has beenbrought to light by Mrs. Marcet Halde-man-Julius, wife of -the Girard p~ub-lisher. The investigation grew outout of an article in Thme Crisis, writtenby a former student at the university,charging discrimination against theNegro. A scathing editorial againstsuch a situation followed in the Halde-man-Julius Weekly, with the resultthat Chancellor E. K. Lindley invitedthe editor to investigate the charges,which he though t overdrawn. Mrs.Haldeman-Julius, while conltinuling herinvestigation in other Kansas colleges,professed -to find at Kansas Universityessentially 'the situation described inthe original complaint. She found abright side, too, she said, that seem-ingly the fact that the administrationholds no brief a,,ainst the colored stu-dent. To this, though, there is oneglaring exception. Negroes are notpermitted to take their last two yearsin the Unliversity's medical depart-ment. No explanation of this rulingseems to have been made by theChancellor or anyone else.
The most glaring discrimination -%vasfound, however, where "the line be- itween administrative and student con-trol becomes indeterminiate."' Thlecafeteria is frequented by about; 25negroes and about 400 whlites, yetthe negroes are segregated. The bou-quet for most obvious and unfair pre-judice was awarded the University,Athletic Association, for its disbar-ment of negroes from its activities.Defense is taken behind a MissouriValley ruling, but Mrs. Haldeman- Ju-lius scoffs at the alibi, wonodering whyfour schools should be permitted todictate to six. Shle blames the ath-letic association for "doing more thanany other one force, to promote raceprejudice with all the ugly conse-quences that invariably go with it.,,

While in New England he hasvisited Yale, Harvard and Technology.the latter is the o~nly scientific schoolin the country that he visited whileon his tour.
His visit through Technology wvas asuccess through the efforts of ProfessorHarry M. Goodwin, dean of the gradu-ate students, and Mr. William Jackson,who directed him to the places of in-terest and supplied information con-cerning the Institute.
The contractors wvere authorized tobegin wuora on the new Technology inDecember. 1913. The buildings areconstruceted of reinforced cement, facedwith Bedfordl limestone, except on in-terior coulrts, which are faced wsithlbrick. The foundation is- built on25,000 piles 15 to 40 feet long.

Professor James L.

He also spoke in several highschools. At each center he was en-tertained by members of TechnologyClubs and at Schenectady and Buffalo,luncheons were given in hils honor.|In his speeches Professor Tryon told
|of the interest of the Institute in get-}ting into closer relationship with the|universities and schools with the view|of facilitating admission. He also ex-plained the opportunities that Tech-nology offers in Scientific and En-gineering training. Next wveek Pro-|fessor Tryon plans to visit TrinityCollege, Wesleyan and others nearRhode Island.
As the result of a survey taken byProfessor Charles E. Watkeys, a di-rector of of statistics, the experien cesthat a stuldent receives as a participantill extra-curricula activities at collegeis considered of least value by the ma-jority of alumni.lFACUL T Y `CL'uB rnuLa.0
