of the Coop Barber a "trim" means thatyou would like to part your hair with atowel for two or three weeks after theoperation. The secret consists of whisper-ilg in the tonsorial artist's ear before theordeal begins the mysterious words:"Shampoo and tonic." Whereupon saidartist realizes the necessity of leavingsome hair attached to your scalp if lie isto comply with your request. Incidently,it's a good idea to avoid re-encounteringthe same scissors wielder if you shouldchange your mind about the "shampooand tonic." After all, though, the CoopBarber-shop is first rate--as a shoe-shine parlor.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor:The fact that only 12 per cent of the

student body cast a ballot in the recentstraw vote held by your paper wouldseem to indicate a lack of interest amongthe undergraduates in the present cam-paign. We are certain, however, thatonec group of undergraduates is interested,namely the LaFollette Club. Believingthat this is the most vital political cam-paign which has been waged in our coun-try since 1896, and believing that it is in-alaugurating a new political era in our na-tion's politics, and further believing thatevery effort should be made to stir upinterest in the campaign among the stu-dent body, the LaFollette Club of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology inorder to promote such interest hereby is-sues a challenge to any student or political(,rganization in the Institute or in great-cr Boston to a public debate on the is-sues of the present campaign. It is will-ilg to debate any one or all of the planksof the planks of the LaFollette platformat the option of the accepting party, andat a time and place agreeable to the ac-cepting party.

TEXAS DEAN APPROVESOF STUDENT MARRIAGES

Afte:r hearing that Bavlor Universityhad prohibited the larriage of under-graduates, Dean H. Y. Benedict of theUniversity of Texas told the Arts stu-dents to go ahead and get married ifthey saw fit. Baylor, deluged with inar-riages last spring passed a ruling thatno students of that institution could benlarried. "But Baylor is a private in-stitution," says Dr. Benedict, "and canpass rules prohibiting all students whodo not have pink eves if they please.

A£t.xa. University is a p~ublic ilistitution0and such a rule would not be legal here.For instance, we once had a student

lere who was charged with murder, butt wasn't our nlatter."

The Dean was undecided as towhether the murderer or those gettingmarried were tempting Providence theaost. He said that he though studyingability would not be hampered by lnlar--iage, but that it would be more a ques-

,tion of finances. If they could affordit, let theim go to it.

Once again our dear Institute Commit-tee gets it in the neck. This time, the pow-ers that be in the official Institute have de-creed that unless the Institute Committeecan meet without making such a mess inthe Faculty and Alumni room, the placewhere they have done everything fromabolishing Tech Night to trying to burnup Walker, they will have to meet some-where else. Accordingly, Austy (him-self) announced in the meeting last night,that "next time if there isn't any meet-ing here, it will be in north ball."

The only time that the Lounger couldkeep from yawning in the big meeting lastnight was during the scrap over the Com-:)ined Drive. For a time it looked asLhough things might get quite snappy.:,iac, Austy, and others had it back andforth quite warmly for a few minutes.Glenn even gave up the chair for a min-ute or two and stuck his oar in. Thenjust as it was getting good, *Mitch movedthe previous question, and stopped it all.Even then, M1ac stuck by his guns, andmade the nicest little bitter ender thatthe Lounger has seen for some timne.

The only other thing that the Loungerheard was "i move that the report of th-,

Committee be accepted," repeatelad infinitum, it made a glorious requiem

)r lullaby, or anything else soothing.

lThe LounIger has received another dis-patch from his western correspondnt, "J.B. ex '24 ex '25." It is printed herewith.Th Lounger hopes to receive these fromtinie to time during the rest of the year,and in genral, he will make no specificannouncement of them, but \will hav'.them run under J. B.'s signature.Dear Lounger:-

"Well, we see from this distant point-the great wide open west to be exact-that our little friend "Fighting Bol)." has

hi. friends on the staff of your esteemedsheet.N'low be it far from me to cast unearned

DIAL-TWISTERS MAY GET EDU-CATION OUT OF ETHER

The hard-pressed dad who has tofurnish funds for Son's super-hetero-dyne as well as for his college educa-tion will probably receive with joy theannouncement that several universitiesplan to give regular courses by radio.This newest method for the dispersionof knowledge has been adopted byColumbia University to the extent that

studies in literature, psychology, andcivil governnte~, identical to thosetaught in the class-room, are regularlybroadcasted. The University of Pitts-

burgh conducts a "radio schiool" everyMonday evening, and the Universitv ofX;Vashiiigton has plans for a similar

nature. The Kansas State College ofAgriculture holds the honor of beingthe pioneer in this field of education,havin.g given courses, conducted writtenexaminations, and awarded diplomas tosome 400 listeners-in.

THE STUDENT TAX

ONE of the two main things that wvere done at the Institute Coin-0 mittee meeting last night was the reapportoinment of the Stu-dent Tax. As it wvas done, the only changes are to cut down theamounts that each man gives towards his class functions and thereserve fund, and to put the amount that is to be secured in thismanner into the coffers of the Athletic Association. Everybodywill agree that the Athletics at the Institute need every cent thatthey can get hold of. The support that they receive from the stu-dent body is none too good at best, and anything that can be logi-cally done to give them a hand should be done. As Bursar Fordoutlined in his talk at the All-Technology smoker, the Corporationis doing its full share in this line, and it is only proper that theundergraduates should contribute a little more than thev have inthe past.

The changes will mean that the freshmen and Sophomores willnot get quite as much put into their treasury as in the past, and thatthey will have to cut down on their expenditures on smokers, etc.However, as was outlined in the report of the committee on Reap-portionment, a large part of the money that they used to spend ontheir social functions was on decorating the main hall. The re-decoration of the room will render this unnecessary. The twoupper classes receive substantially the same amounts as before.This is due to the fact that the investigations of the committeeshowed that the expenses of the upper classes are somewhat higherthan those of the lower classes.

THE COMBINED DRIVE

ITH it now definitely decided by the student government thatY v a Combined Drive for Charities will be held this fall at the

Institute, it remains to look into this drive and find out how worthyit is. The two bodies to receive the benefits of the money realizedin this campaign are the Technology Christian Association and theAmerican Red Cross. No student at the Institute will questionthe worthiness of the T. C. A. The amount of help that it givesto new students and old, foreign students and native, each year,cannot be calculated in dollars and cents. The room registry aloneis of sufficient value to warrant the small donations that they askfor each year. When the Book Exchangre, "Fr' resan Bible," theBoys' work, and its many other services are considered, it is surelyworthy of the full financial support of every student.

Similarly, the American Red Cross needs no defense. Thegood that it does perhaps is not felt as closely by the students here,but nevertheless, it is just as real. When the call comes in a fewweeks. give all you possibly can to these two causes.

HELP SAVE THE GRASS

TT cost the Institute $5000 this summer to lay out the lawn in thefront of the great court, and judging from the amount of favor-

able comment on the improved appearance of the buildings, it was$5000 well spent. The touch of green, contrasting with the whitebuildings, removed the dead look they previously presented.

And now, just as the lawn is beginning to get well rooted, wornspots appear around the paths, and especially at intersections wherestudents have cut the corners. It doesn't take much more timeto follow the path than it does to cut across, but the slight addedeffort makes the difference between a beautiful well-kept lawn anda bedraggled, run-down patch.

It is impossible for the gardeners to preserve the lawn withoutthe cooperation of every man at the Institute. No matter how muchloam they import, how carefully they roll and water it, their ex-ertions go for naught if a few hundred vandals take a notion to walkacross it on a wvet day. Out of respect for the appearance of theInstitute, every student should make certain that he is not respon-sible for destroying any of the improvements which have so far beensecured.

A\dvelltures are becoming exyceeding-Iy common at tile boathouse'chese days.()n Weclnesday one of the coxswainlsafforded quite a little enjoymellt byexhibitillg the un~heard of desire tobjeat his shell illtO the water. The coxin qluestion had evidelltly not been at-t enlding to business for when someonecalled to him to watch his rudder, liestartedl oin a ruII f rom where he wasstcand~ing on the float and, inl an effortto straighten out the rudder, lost hisfootinlg on the edge of the docl; antdfell illtO the river.

'loday's little mishap was of a moreseriouls nature. Hlere again it was aczsxswvaill who, apparently attempting,to run his shell right up on the float,p~ractically demtolishing the bow ofnumlber 2 shell. The boat came to-w-ard the dlock at a goodl clip and theco;, seeing the danger, called to theibowv man to rowv ill order that the headOf the boat might lbe SWUllg arounld toclear tlle dock.

Last night the second Soph crewX as forced to outside material in orderto get out on the Charles for their usual1x orkout. With such a dearth of '2;crew material in order to get out orcrew material, Sophomores reporting nowshould find no difficulty in securing op-Port!nities to row either with the secondSOPI)s or as a third Soph crew.

;ql~. aae uam ati penbs qsoa~ aq; uOboth in the backfield and in the for-ward wall. In the last few practicesa much better turnout has showed upfor coaching than before the disastrousdefeat by St. John's Prep. Some ofthe men who played in that game haveas yet not deigned to showv up on thefield of battle, thus labeling themselvespoor sports. If ever a game did a teamsnore good, it was last Saturday's fiasco,for the men with spirit are out to showtheir stuff and all the self-conceit isgone.

Seven newcomers have been added tothe squad,-Gordon Miller -who islightning fast and carries some weightis a good backfield prospect. Steck-lehaus, a big, redheaded chap, lookslike a good linesman, he also showspromise as a punter. Gracia Benson,Ward, R. Miller and Bartlett will addto the strength of the team. O'Hearn,Riley, Gould. Hartz and Luby are go-ing strong after Saturday's experienceand are taking to the workonts with awill.

Last night Tomi Price put the teamthrough signal practice and drill onforward passing with Riley and Hartzon the throwing end of the combination.All the rest of the backs and the endswent out a pair at a time to snare thepigskin from the air as it twisted andtwirled through the twilight. Althoughseveral passes weent by many werecompleted, as to what would happenin a regular game it is hard to say.After Riley did some punting the teamwent through their signals for a quarterof an hour after which Tom called ita day.

Os Hedlund took the team over thecourse this afternoon for a generalsurve.y of the various difficulties inrunning the race. The men were veryenthusiastic on looking over the runand showed every prospect of makinga strong front against the Providencemen.

D)uring the past two weeks thecoaches have been working the menout gradually on the cinder track, atthe first they had to restrain the en-thusiasmn of the men in wanting to runlong distances on their debut on thetrack for the fall. however that stagehas passed now and the mentors havebrought their charges to good runningform for so early in the season. Workhas been carried out along the CharlesRiver Road, around the cinder oval,and over the Belmont course. Theveterans have showed up strongly thisfall and strengthened by the last vear'sfrosh squad they present a formidableappearance.

Cross-country practice is more or lesshandicapped around here as there isno hilly ground UpOn which to run themnen near Technology. The land ismostly flat and does not give the nienthe right kind of practice for competi-tion as they would get if they .,,ere upin the \NVhite Mountains in Vermont."There would be the place to train asquad." said Coach Hedlund, "aroundhere T am afraid I will have to resortto running the men up and down thestands." Since the regular hilly coursesare so far out. it is impossible to takemen out to them in the afternoon sinceno time would be left for running. De-pite all these disadvantages the coaches

have turned out two squads which willput up a great scrap for honors thisafternoon.
