the Bloomer costume was derivedfrom that of the least advancedwomen in the world, the slaves in theharem." Which reminds the Lounger;who was the handsome engineer plv-ing the needle up in the Voo Doooffice a day or so ago? Damn clever,these cats.

In past years the Lounger hasheard students judge the success ofthe entertainment at the All-TechSmoker by the laughter of ObieDenison and the tint of the cheekson the trespassing coeds and facultydames. But alas such will no longerbe the case. For Obie will be milesaway, the coeds and faculty dameswill be forcibly ejected should theymanage to dodge past the doormen,and the entertainment will be noto-rious for its genuine, scrupuloussanitariness.
The Lounger wonders just howfar in the feminine element will getbefore the bouncers begin. Techcircuses have long been the meansof rating the ingenuity of the moreinquiring coeds, but now that theyare passe what is there left for acoeducational spree but being ableto blush on the balcony during amen's smoker?

"WHERE THERE'S SMOKE-"
1
"THERE'S fire," as the old saying goes. And believe it or not, (there'll be plenty of smoke at the All-Technology get-together
tonight. Wheth er you prefer to be blindfolded, or like themtoasted, you'll be satisfied. Or bring the pipe--or don't smokeat all.
Which all goes to prove that there should be a lot of fire there,and the committee's promises seem to indicate that the pep andfun will make the evening a merry one. Good food, snappy talks,songs, movies, and somne mysteries which sound awif ully interest-inmawhat more do you want for an evenin-g ?
This is the flrst, and one of the few yearly affairs, where thewhole student body has the opportunity- to mingle together. Ofcourse, there are banquets, dances, smokers, and partiesthru0[,-houl+t fl,, Lrye~. ' ,Jit ;trloe .. ,re o. ene-.,lly, for ti -..... I.a.-roup. This is a:n occasion when everybody is there-all theclasses, and graduates and faculty join onl this night to have a
ha:'ge tile. YoU. liewcorners mav take the word of those of uswho have seen these lffainrs before--you're missinpg a. lot if youdon't come.
You freshmllen are particularly ur-oed to be present. You,most of all, need to realize what the real Technoloog spirit is. OuC-standing undergraduates and Faculty meml)ers wNill show youw~hat that side of the Institute life is which you don't see over inthe classroom. These will not be dry speeches, but informal talks,interesting, somethino- you'll be glad youl heard. You've probablybeen crabbing all fall about howv much things cost-here is thechance to enjoy yourself to the ultmost, and all for nothinog. Din-ner for first year men is at 6:15, and even that won't set you backa Sou.
This year we come to a school which has enlarged its build-i;-os, beautified its grounds. added new courses to its fine curricu-lurm; a larger freshmen class than ever was admitted; the activi-ties and sports show promise of a very successful year. The All-Technology Smoker committee has made plans to keep up withthis improved tone at the Institute. All they need is student sup-.L:ort, and all it costs you is a little time. Let's give it to them!
INTERESTS AND GULLIBILITY
IN.TERESTS of a technical nature naturally prevail over all othersin Technology students. And these interests are pursued here
so relentlessly in countless cases, and to such a degree, that ilmany individuals they become obsessions. The cultural interests,to speak of one phase of extra-technical interest, wrhich shouldexist equally with the technical pursuits, are submerged to a planefar below their true value. The result, as wve have long sincefond, is a well-trained engineer, but a very inarticulate socialbeing.
This situation, which has the earmarks of a provincial re-actionary atmosphere at Technology. is not a sudden outgrowthbut one to which maniy have acquiesced with a mere shrug of theshoulders. But now we propose to shed light on these cobwebsand explode their feigned innocence by throwring a few bombshellsinto their midst. What we need is some fresh air, a new enlioht-ened atmosphere-something refreshing, exhilarating.
This year we are witnessing one of the most interestino potlitical campaigns since the famous Bryan oratorical contest of1896. The Democrats have put forward in Smith one of their mostdyniamic personalities. The conservative Republicans have nomi-na-ated for the Presidency, Hoover, a man whose administrativeand executive abilities are lauded to the skies by his associates.These two men have been placed before the electorate as candi-dates for the highest office in the land. Their records deserve theclosest analysis, and their abilities a most careful study. As anexcellent cultural interest, we recommend this political campaignas one that should receive an enthusiastic T'eception in the mindsof all students. We would not like to see college men prove them-selves gullible fools in so important a matter, particularly whenthey have every opportunity to inform themselves intelligently.

pass out. The Lounger suggests thatthey could very capably combat thisif they would use the same non-
coughless Rolled Cold brand that somecompany gave away last term.
Among hints to the ladies, here isa little news gem the Lounger gotfrom Gilbert Seldes in "The Stammer-ing Century": "Amelia Bloomer,pioneer in reforming women's fas-hions, did not make the first pair ofbloomers. They were made by aneighbor, a Mrs. Miller, and oughtto be called millers. But Mrs.Bloomer was a notable woman leaderand her name stuck to the garmentwhich was supposed to herald newfreedom for women. Oddly enough

Cross-country is beginning to takethe center of the stage among the
fall sports with a large number of
men trying fo r both the Varsity an d

twenty-four men working hard every
day. Out of this group Coach Hed-
lund should have no trouble in select-
ing a team of ten good men at the
time on October 13, the first to be

The men a re at present very well

Captain Worthen has been leading[
the squad e very day at practice. DickIBaltzer, captain of last y ear's fresh -

IccNiff, Albright, McBrayne, and Mc-

thing for the other men to work for.

of the department of mathematics I
at the University of New Hampshire,
that John Walstirom of Keene, N. H.,
has broken all records in the entrance
examinations in mathematics. Wal-

class of the College of Technology, I
was considered to be so far ahead in
his mathematics that he was given a

Both Teamns Have New Coaches.
Frosh S quad Losing
in Num bers
Field Day football is -etting u nder
way in earnest at last and if the
size of the squads that are workin g
out on Tech Field each night is anyI
indication there is going to be a
hard fought game on the second of
Novem ber. With experienced men
getting into the coaching of both
teams and the first gam es only about
ten days off the squads are getting
a taste of real training.Wednesday's mass meeting for
the Sophomores seems to have put
some real spirit into the class at least
as far as football goes for Wednes-
dlay saw the biggeest group of Sophs
at practice that has been seen so far
this fall. Fully eight of the twenty-
five men out that afternoon are
members of last year's outfit. Some
of the veterans present were Boyn-
ton, Kamy. _Morse, Grondal, Wilson,
Lamn-oreflei, McMinim, and Coffey.
At present the coaching of the
second-year meni is in the hands of
Mr. Fitch. Fitch is a imember of the
Sophomore class and has had a lot
of football experience as a member
of the University of Southern Cali- X
fornia team. He has plenty of as-'
sistance from Kontoff a former starl
Boston University player. Last year's huladle system that was
so effective against the class of '30,
has been abondoned in favor of aI
new set of signals that have been de-
vised and which include some of the
best plays of last year. Wednesday
saw the men in light scrimmage and
as soon as some suits can be obtained
real hard work will be on the daily
program.From the wAonderful showings the
frosh made at the first of the practice
sessions there has been a very gradual
drop in attendance Ihat doesn't look
very eficourag-in(. but taking into
consideration the fact that the Sophs
are just getting under way the
yearlings still have the junmp.
Probably the falling attendance
was due to the fact that there was
no regular coach to direct the work-
outs and the men were forced to
plug along by themselves breaking
up into groups and being able to get
in only a small amount of ground-
work.

Budget Not Decided UponFigures concerning this year's quota
will be announced in a later issueof THE TECH. Last year the amountwas 83100, of wt hich $2300 was re-ceived, therefore causing the budgetsof some of the departments to be re-duced. Consequently the scope ofsopne of the activities had to be con-sidlerably limited.
Students are always welcome atthe office in the basement of the Walk-er .Miemonorial. Information may behad for the asking upon nearly anyIsubject concerning the Institute.
'1here are several openings forstudents who Eire interested in anyof the T. C. A. departments, suchas tne Handboolk Department, andother branches. Information concern-ing the above subjects may be had'by applying at the office.
Freshman CamD Is Success
There were about 30 more fresh-men attending the Freshman Campthis year over last year which showsthat the idea is becoming more popu-lar every year. However, the T. C.A. lost approximately $2 on everyman at the camp.

Cheers for these various activitieswere given by the assembly betweenthe speechs. Thse cheers includedof course the old Technologystandards, as well as a new cheerwhich awas tried out, consisting ofthree M.I.T.'s and then nine "rah's"in rapid succession. It was hintedthat sorme fellows might practicecounting to nine.

Atthat time student leaders of the var-ious activities will be present to ex-plain the functions, and duties of theundertakings and efforts will be madeto interest the newcomers in comingiout for the competitions now goingon.
Those interested in sports will goupstairs to the gymnasium wherethere will be exhibition bouts put on 1by the Varsity Boxing and Wrestling'teams.

"The habit of criticism grows uponus because criticism is the easiestthing in the world. It does not takea thimbleful of brains to find fault,and the biggest numskull in the worldcan find fault with the greatest menin the world.
