PETITMN FORCESIBursar Ford Sees "Fine"Chance to Protect Men
Ever on the lookout for the pos-sihility of finding someone for some-thing, Bursar H. S. Ford has writtento the Cambridge city council, request-ing that action be taken to make itcompulsory for motorists to drive olnthe right of the posts erected onMassachusetts Avenue in front of themain entrance to the buildings as asafety zone for passengers alightingor waiting to board trolley cars. Atpresent, automobile drivers are per-lmitted to drive between the posts andthe car tracks, as long as they remainto the right of the center line.
According to the Bursar, Technol-ogy students have been endangered be-cause automobile drivers passing with-itl the safety zones, and several of themen %waiting for cars have reportednarrow escapes. The letter was re-ferred to the committee on roads andbridges. In the meantime, Mr. Fordfears for the safety of the Institutecharges.
Years Ago
M. C. Brush '01, who brought HogIsland to its high state of efficiency,will deliver the first Aldred Lectureof the term today in room 10-250 at 3o'clock. The talk is open to Seniors,Graduate Students and members of theFaculty. Professor Vannevar Bush '16,co-operating with Mr. Aldred in thepresentation of the series, announcesthat the subject of the talk has beenleft to the speaker himself, since thebest results are obtained in this way.
The speaker is at the present timepresident of the American Internation-al Corporation, and was previouslypresident of the Boston Elevrated. H~eis a graduate of Course II, and is char-acterized as a man who has worked hisway up f ront the bottom. During thesummer he worked as a purser on alake steamer, and there made manyacquaintances which were of great val-ue to him in later lif e.
Brush's quick rise after leaving theInstitute -was quite unusual, his firstjob being that of cleaner in 'a round-house in the West, from which'he soonrose to a position of considerable im-portance or. the same road. He then-
ireturned to the E~ast and engaged instreet railway work eventually'becom
-ing- president, of -~the ..Boston- Elevated.In 1918 'when- he was only thirty-eight
~-years of age, Mr. Brush was asked to~-take charge of the work at Hog Island-~which wvas 'probably the largest single-,project developed during the WorldWa'r.
In addition to. possessing an attrac..tive personality, the lecturer is known1~as an exceedingly forcible speaker, andhis previcous talks. at the Institute havealways witnessed much applause.
NEXT TECH SHOWAT NORTHAMPTON
Applications For Junior WeekPerformance Mailed to
sw ~Students-
- ~~ Owi"Life",
Instead of duplicating the sex talkswhich were given under the auspices ofthe Technology Christian Association byDoctor Seerley last year for the benefitof the entire student body, a series ofthree lectures by Doctor Henry H. Craneoil the general subject of "Life" will hbegiven oI1 April 7, 8, and 9 in room10-250 at 4 o'clock. This year the T.C.A. is planning to distribute about 2000small blotters so printed as to remindthe students of the date of the seriesof -talks.
A graduate of Wesleyan College, Doc-tor Crane has recently been elected presi-dent of the Wesleyan Alumni of GreaterBoston, and has in connection with thatoffice and because of his prestige as aspeaker, has been kept busy lately 'de-liverinlg addresess at various institutionsof learning throughout the country. Heis pastor of the Central MethodistChurch, Boston.
Blotters are not a new idea for re-minding the student body of cominglectures since a similar plan to the oneproposed f or this year was used by theT.C.A. a year or so ago for the samepurpose. The blotters will be adornedwith the calendar for the month of April,but in the space occupied by the 7, 8, and9 of the month will appear the wordCRANE signifying the dates of the pro-posed lectures. The blotters will prob-ably be printed. in red on gray materialas in the case of the annual T.C.A.blotters.
Junior Prom TicketsAre Still Available
Tlle Junior Proml Committeewishes to announce that there areabout 75 tickets for the Proml stillavailable and that they may beobtained from any member of thecommittee.
As about 100 sign-ups are out-standing the- booth in the main lob-by will be open Tuesday from 11until .12 o'clock.
Also in order to facilitate thearrangements f or dinner at theProm and to obviate as far as pos-sible any errors, a list of the seat-ing arrangements will be postedin the main lobby next Monday.The Committee requests that thoseaffected will kindly check their as-signment card with this list and ifthey do not agree 'to change theirassignment card accordingly.

Affair Scheduled for TuesdayAfternoon of Junior Week
As an additional feature of this year'sJunior Week program, the Interfra-.ternity Conference has arranged for anInterfraternity Tea Dance to be givenin the Swiss room of the Copley PlazaHotel at 2.30 on Tuesday afternoon,April 21. The recent meeting of theconference showed that enough fratern-ity men would support the affai<rtowar-rant arranging for the dance.
Tickets are obtainable through the In-terfraternity Conference which has dele-gates in each fraternity house from. whomthe men can purchase their reservationsfor $3 per couple. Those in charge re-quest that all reservations be made be-f ore April 10 since a buffet luncheonwill be served and particulars as to theclumpier proposing to attend the affairare necessary.
Music will be furnished by the Tune-sters. There was no such aff air in lastyear's Junior Week, and unless enoughmen are willing to support the dancethis year there may be danger of dis-contilluing plans for the affair. How-evrer, considering the present prospects asthey appeared at the last conferencemeeting, there will be quite a gatheringof fraternity men at the Copley on theafternoon of the twenty-first.
TO CONSTRUCT "'MOVIE"BOOTH IN ROOM 10-250
Construction is about to start on a mo-tion picture booth in room 10-250 simi-lar to the booth in room 5-330, accord-ing to Bursar Ford. Work will be com-pleted, before the Alumni Reunlion, June11, and on that day, two continuous"movie" shows will be run in both ofthe above rooms, showing not only filmsof Institute activities but also a series ofsome of the best industrial films whichhave been made' recently at the Instituteand a~t industrial plants through the co-operation of Technology graduates.
The 'films will relate ,especially toaeronautics, automotive industries, chem-ical and textile industries, and to ma-chine tool manufacture. Facilities forshowing moving picture -films at the In-stitute will be doubled by the additionof the new booth. It is expected thatthe latter. will be found particularly use-,ful in illustrating the Popular ScienceLectures which are given in 10-250, forthe benefit of the, high school studentsand the public of Boston.

200 MEN -SIGN PETITION
Having been signed by over 200 Stu-denlts, a petition flow being circulatedamong the student body at the Insti-tute makes it necessary for the Insti-tute Committee to reconsider its deci-sion to substitute "The Courts of M. I.T.," for the "Stein Song" as the AlmaMater song at Technology for a oneyear trial. According to the constitu-tion of the committee, a vote of thestudent body must decide the question.
The petition, which will be presentedto the Institute Committee today or to-
morrowv, reads as- follows:"We, the undersigned, under-
graduate students at M. I. T., inlas-much as wie feel that the old tradi-tions should not be lightly doneawav with until better substitutesare found, do hereby petition thatthe action of the Institute Com-mittee in its meeting March 26,1925 relating to the substitution of'The Courts of M.

"In making this request, it is un-derstood that the signers do -notobject to giving the Prize Song afair trial, as would be done by sing-ing both songs at Institute gather-ings, but object only to doing awayentirely with.'The Stein Song' un-til a better substitute song isf ound."'hvAlready over 200 signatures hv

The same lecture, which is accompan-ied by illustrations of the work of thecompany and its organization, was de-livered by Mr. Chesterman at HarvardUniversity yesterday afternoon, .whenconsiderable interest was manifested illthe opportunity which the telephone in-dustry offers for college men. As wasthe case in the lecture at 'Harvard, to-day's -gathering is planned especially formember's of the Senior class in order toaid them in the selection of their futureplaces of employment. However, allmembers of the student- body may attendif space permits.

I 'c o m m u n i c a t i o n s 'Editor, "The Tech"·.· The absolute oblitera'tion of the Stein
Song from the few remaining traditili~sof M.I.T. by the Institute Committeeis a. thing which. /or the good of Techspit'it, should not be tolerated until asong which will meet very strong ap-proval among ,both students anid alumniis found to take its .place. The present"Prize Song, as well as the one of lastyear, seems to have fallen far short 'ofthis, judging to what extent it was ridi-culed by the student body upon its pub-lication. It is a song, in the opinionof. many, which does not inspire onewith spirit, but instead causes one tolaugh at the contrast-,-it glorifies thosethings which are true of a college withwe have not. This is a matter of opin-ion, and I certainly would like to hfearother student expressions.'
I think that everyone is willing togive the Prize Songs a fair trial, butit is not necessary to abolish the Steih,Song in order to give other songs thistrial. The safe and sane way seems tobe to pass a rule that both,-the SteinSong and the Prize Song of that yearbe sung at all Institute gatherings. Thenif a. song which meets-with more favorthan the -Stein Song turns up, the stu-
ident body will respond and the properlegish/tive body or bodies can take thenecessary stemps to declare it our newAlma Mater Song.

It seemed to the Lounger, when firsthe noticed that the orchestra that playsduring the lunch hour in WValker Mem- orial, had abandoned its place of safe-ty on the balcony, and descended tothe main floor, tha-t the members of saidnoise-producing aggregation showedconsiderably more courage than sense.He more than. half expected (dare 'headmit that he hoped?) to see a bom-bardment, rivaling that now famousreception a la H20, etc., tendered thePresident's guests not long ago. Sadto relate, no such barrage was laiddown, and the orchestra was allowedto continue to render its assortmentof quasi-jazz and its parodies on theclassics. Where were those bricks?

ISCORD, musical discord, seethes in our own realm of publicDopinion. The musical judgment of the Institute Committee
tell on disapproving -round, and now the student body is taking ahand in'this controversy over the Almia l.Nater Song. The existenceof the controversy is beneficial; it is good publicity for either:song and -many, mainly noticeable by lethargy, are beginning. to!perk -up and to inquire into the allegations dirgeful and allega-tions raphodo'sical.
Br iefly told,' from the affirmative come these arguments' Thatthe only 'w'ayr to give new songs a chance and to justify the ex-:pierid~ittkie Of two hundred 'dollars is in the path of legislative action.F/~rtheynrmor'e, a new Alma, Mater Song is needed that is moreintimately associated with Technology.
... Fromn the Negative: The Institute Committee acted beyondits authority, disregarding faculty and alumni opinion; The Stein
, :Soig.'embodies traditions not to be discarded liorhtly and per saltumrn;·- and -the acceptable and reasonable legislative action would be to·have "The Courts of l. I. T." sung in conjunction for a year ratherth ''n substituted.
"'Aside from this particular controversy, and making it seemmuch ado about nothing, it is generally felt that the music of theStein Song is'inadequate and inappropriate. A more spirited son-is. needed, and spirited words to the old music of the Stein Songwould be like diluting absinthe with a stein of cooling grap ejuice,like putting "Take Me Back To Tech" with the music of "God Savethe King."
It appears that the petition to refer the action of the InstituteCommittee to the student body has been signed with great numericalgusto (most petitions usually are). This means that the studentbody will now make the decision, and the only regret is that inall probability they, too will be swayed and changed and swayedagain by those that will to do the cerebration of the satellites.
THESIS WORK
'~HILE many discouragements and evidences of poor morals of-NVv ten loom before the undergraduate eve in their work toward aDegree, none are so detrimental as those occasioned by a poorattitude of the men in the upper classes. At this time'of year'.,when men in courses requiring single term theses are choosingsubjects and when the procrastinators of other courses are gettingfrenzied over theirs, we see a particularly unfortunate example ofthis attitude.
The thesis, culminating effort of four years labor, is the firstopportunity given the undergraduate for original research. It isa man's first and perhaps last chance to test his scientific ingenuityand possibly to add something to the store of human knowledge.The general idea at the Institute seems to be to approach thethesis as a matter to be treated as casually as possible and to -et~it done as soon as, and without the least effort po~ssible. t
Probably one of the best things a man can do, both from thestandpoint of his own education and of his influence on future under-graduates, is to pick his thesis subject before his senior year. Picka subject that has something of personal interest and in the time.before beginning work get as much information as possible onthe subject. Then before actually starting work decided exactlywhat you would like to find out and go after it in earnest.
THE B.U. EPISODE
rHE authorities at Boston University have -demanded the resig-J-nation of the editorial board of its humorous publication, The
-Beanpot, because of an alleged insult to the University and thenation. The insult was in the form of an editorial which chargedthe 'school with receiving money for the maintenance of the R.O.T.C. Unit and criticised the R.O.T.C. in an effort to show that thatwas the only reason for its existence-. Dean Lord of C.B.A. de-clares ~tha:t the charge is untrue.
It is Undoubtedly a serious thing to make a false charge ofsuch a nature against one's own, school. But surely the editorwould not have printed such a statement had she not believed herfacts to be true. And a request for a retraction of the error ill:the next issue certainly ougght to serve better than a peremptorydemand for the resignation of the one at fault.
It frequent.ly happens that a student or group of students mayhave opinions quite at variance with the Faculty of its school andbe quite sincere in those opinions. To attempt to suppress thoseopinions using a slight error in the statement of the student as apretext is not to eliminate such disagreement, but to aggravate it.

My. dear Louniger'.On the financial Page of the Boston
American (William Randolp.h Hearst,owner) there appeared recently the fol-lowing statement by B. C. Forbes:
"In talks with very large employersi have been told lately that there isan over supply of graduates of tech-nical schools, and especially of engin-eers. -But the demand for other clas-ses of graduates is broadenping rapidly
... In the' paper -and pu'lp' industry32.8 percent of the bigger executiveberths and 50.8 percent of the majortechnical jobs are occupied by collegeand university graduates."
It may be well for someone to writeto'Mr. Forbes suggesting that he nowtalk to-somie very smnall employers be-cause he mav discover that technicalgraduates acqluire an aversion to verylarge nien in general, for some psvcho-logical reason which involves their ownloss in weight during their four weeksof travail. He mnay even discover thatemployers who run to only about 125pounds net have a distinct preferencefor the scientific minds and the analyt-ical genius of th'e typical slide rule ar-tist, over the intellectual talents of thepitchers, quarterbacks, and shot-puttersof Yale.. Harvard, and Princeton (forexample) who nevertheless in our busi-ness, industrial, and social worlds.
It may be that he is right and thatthe supply of technical graduates ex-ceeds the demnand, but I merely offerthe above suggestion so that the fever-ent freshmen can go on being happy fora while longer in spite of Tech beingHell.
Hence I respectfully submit this for.your consideration-tfiinking always ofyour keen appreciation of the burdenswe nmust carry during these four years,and of your'rea dy commiseration forthose poor freshmen who may haveseen the above mentioned article andbecause of it decidged that their physicsand calculus was a lot of bunk. Youand I know the value of phvsics (noth-ing personal) and of calculus too, inspite of B. C. iFor~bes and his verylarge employers..

The number of candidates for theraseball team has been weeded out in:he last few practices, and Coach LukeBannon- has announced the probableine up for the Tuft's game on April
16. The present line up: Clough, cat-:her;, Crapjdall. 1st base; Merryweath-er, 2nd; Robinson, 3rd; Nichol, left

Pitchers Rounding Into ShapeThe team picked looks like a strong
combination. Crandalt is a fast andaccurate performer, and has been hold-ing down the first sack in fine fashionin practice sessions. Merryweather'sshowing on the dizzy corner has alsobeen first class, and he has been scoop-ing up the ball in snappy form. Theright field berth is still being foughtfor, with Rheinhart of last year's fresh-man team and Fay showing up well.

With the benevolent aid of "Old Sol"the Varsity trackinen have been get-ting in overtime licks on the cindersduring the last two or three days. Nowthat the ground is gradually losingsome of its surplus moisture the men inthe various field events are out fullforce to limber up their muscles, stiffafter a winer of idleness. Accordingto the statistics of "Doc" Johnson fully!225 men passed through the trackhouseyesterday noon at one time or anotherThis is about the largest quota of cin-der. hounds which has been present forpractice on any single day since out-door practice started about three weeksago.

It seems that in emptying the2nd freshman 'boat of water col-'Iected during practice, one of therowers lost his footing on the slip-pery dock when attempted to duckunder the upturned shell and fellin. However, despite his chilly re-ception he proceeded to help hiscrew mates to place the shell onthe rack, and then go to the show-ers.

Mack and Mike, the new team re-sponsible for the condition of the trackand grounds, report that work will be-gin on the -resurfacing of the cinderpath as soon as the dampness is out ofthe ground. This is indeed good newsfor the tracksters, as there were manyspots on the oval which were pretty wellworn and ragged. ':It will take aboutten days to complete the job during:which time the runners must use thestraight away between the goal posts onthe football field for the sprints, and theriver course or the inside of the trackfor distance work. This drawback intraining will be considered well worththe trouble if the new track helps theEngineers as much as the rebuilt trackdid two:.years ago.

Musicians Will Play HalfEach Night Next Week
Capitol Theatre,
Hourat
CONTEST ENDS APRIL 13
Despite the recent announcementthat the Conibined Musical Clubs areholding a competition for the purposeof securing a new appelation for theirdance orchestra, only six names havebeen turned in to the management ofthe clubs so far. The contest closes onApril 13 so that the dance orchestra inparticular urges that all those who haveany suggestions whatever turn theirideas in to E. B. Haskell '26 at rooml310, Walker before that date. Themanagement also announces that theclubs are schedulOd to play for half anhour every evening next wek at Gor-don's Capitol Theatre.
Two couple tickets to the clubs' an-nual Spring Concert will be the prizeawarded to the man whose suggestionis selected as the new name for thedance orchestra. The suggestionsshould be submitted in sealed enve-lopes. A list of the suggestions willthen be given to the dance orchestrafor their decision on the competition.The list will, of course not contain thenames of the men making the sugges-tions so that the judgment will be en-tirely impartial.
To Use Name Junior WeekThe dance orchestra reserves the
privilege of retaining their present nameshould none of the ideas suggested bythe competition prove suitable foradoption. If this should be the case, aLdecision will still be made as to whichis the best suggestions so that the prizemay be awarded regardless of whetherthe idea be adopted or not.
Besides the prize already mentioned,the winner will have the honor of hav-ing his namne in the Spring Concertprogram as the originator of the newtitle. If the orchestra adopts a newnanae. they whill play under this titlefor the first time at the Spring Con-cert. The lnanagenlent of the clubshopes that eno ugh original suggestionswill bie submitted before the thirteenthso that a name mav be secured for theorchestra which will be of help to thedance orchestra and become a byword,such as the 'Barbarv Coast Orchestra"and Yale's "Sleepy Hfollow Orchestra."
As a new departure in the line ofengagements, the clubs have made ar-rangements with Gordon's CapitalTheatre to render a Elalf-hour programat that Louse every evening next week.The program wvill consist of selectionshsx two of the clubs each night. TheGlee Club and the Dance Orchestra willbe on the stage for three evenings ofthe wvek and the Banjo and Mandolinthe ax eek, that is, on Mondays Wed-nesday, and Friday, while the Mando-lin Club and the Ba~njo Club will off ernumbers on Tuesdavr, Thursday, andSaturdays evenings.

czar in good standing in college baseballcircles.
We absolutely must have $800 if theteam is not to be disorganized; our pres-elit funds are very nearly used up, thusmaking it imperative that over $500 beraised within two weeks. A large numx-her of men have given their promise topurchase tickets when their monthlychecks have arrived and we expect thesemen to abide by their word.
"Whelther the ball team will be givenail official rating next year and becomea Varsity team depends entirely on thesuccess of this drive. Fifty cents for ;iseason ticket is a very small sum to ask,bult when less than 16 per cent of thestudents have responded, it seems thatthe student body, when called upon t.ogive a slight financial aid, has lost muchof the enthusiasm for a ball team thatwvas exhibited several weeks ago. Theteam now consists of 43 men, cut froman original showing of 86 candidates.When two score men come out to prac-tice every night after five, and five man-agers give a considerable part of theirtime to the development of a worthy ballteam, it is evident that baseball at Tech-nology has many staunch supporters.
"The only thing that prevents us fromtaking a trip to Maine and playing Colby,Bates, and the University of Maine," de-clares Bannon, "is the lack of funds onour side. It is up to the student bodywhether the Beavers will be compelled todisband or play an ineffectual and limit-ed schedule."
The Institute has started to fix up thediamond for the season, and will buildthe base line out ten feet with a numberof cartloads of loam. The first homegame will be played with NortheasternIUniversity on April 18, the day of theTechnique Rush.
