THERE is a rumnor going the rounds that the faculty, throughT various persona-es, has expressed itself of the opinion thatthe efforts of the stuldellt body in opposinlg the twro terni plan rerebunglingly ineffectual and misleading.

That the student body failed to obtain consideration is history,lout it is also as accurately true that lack of time prevented theproper gaging and sounding of student opinion so that it could bepresented in telling form. Therein lies the reason that only referen-dums of the transfers and the fraternities wvere taken. What hap-pvened weas that the students wsere informed of tile proposal by mereheresay and alaoke too late to find themnselves faced wNith a changethey did not relish, approve. or conscientiously see any good in.

The discussion could continue ad nauseum, but suffice it to saythat anyone familiar with actual conditions in the student body canttnhesitatingly attest to the contention that student opinion is over-wrhelmingly opposed to the change which the faculty, by a decidedly-divided vote, has endorsed.

Thlis is said to clear up any misconceptions which involve theidea that the students did not oppose the change, and to stamp aserroneous the expressed belief that student opinion wvas misrepres-ented by- a minority. If ever sotne choice spirit attempts a his-toricity of the ex;istence and effects of student opinion in the edu-cational system, let it be werit for himn that in this case studentopinion surged with almost unanimity, but its effect wvas weak be-cause there was not sufficient time for expression.

THE GENEROUS ADVISOR

COTHING is quite so heartening to a student as to be given a

an humanitarian attitude adds immeasurably to the morale of thestudent.

We knew of one case whlere the gruff attitude on the part ofan advisor practically destroyed the confidence of a transfer whoweas a new-comer. On the other hand, wve know of other caseswhere men have been greatly helped and urged on by advisors Nvitha humanistic personality.

In the final analysis the real value of a man lies in his humanity,and the highest pedagogic traits is that of boeiriog capable of awalken-ing in the student an inspirational desire for attainment. One of,the greatest teachers America evter had-G. Stanley Hall-achievedhis effects through the magic appeal of his personality.

WHY HONOR SYSTEMS FAIL

TNSTANCES are so numerous of the failure of honor svstems that1it is -%vorthl ,,-1iile to inquire into some of the causes which

are mainly responsible. Students too often assume the fallacy thatfaculty opposition and non-support underlies the lack of vigor andineffectuality which too often characterize ambitious honor systems.

The real trouble lies with the students- with the -overnin-students. In the majority of cases they loose the proper perspectivein administering discipline and act unwisely and impetuously. Theyfail to discriminate between the importance of different breaches.They attempt to practice the obsolete and childish morality whichholds that a minor violation, that a half untruth, is as serious as agreater illegality.

The psychology behind this is the youthful desire to shine andthe untempered inexperience of the legislators. If an honor systemis to bie applied effectively and permanently, the administering stu-dents must realize that they cannot ex;pell promiscuouslv. that theycannot ruin the career of a man over a triviality, that they cannotmake a mountain out of a mole-hill and in doing these things re-tain the confidence and support of the students under the system.

When this confidence and support is lost, the minute the gen-eral file of the students becomes antagonistic, the power of thehonor system is doomed. Let it not be understood that the honorsystem is held in disrepute: it is invaluable in the education plan.It is its administration that needs censure and improvement. Shouldat anytime such a plan come into use at Technology it is hoped thatwhisdom and temperance will be observed in its administration.Those departments in which it has been and is being tried deservethe highest commendation and the trail that they have blazed isthe route to a finer student body. We hope unwise and thought-less acts weill not endanger the efficacy of what invaluable honorsystem w^e havte in our midst.

To the president of the Senior Class-an Institute Commlittee ;to TechShow;-a chorus that its not nauseating,to the student body-a hair cut; to thesw\illllillg teami-a swlininiler; to theProgressive Club-a bottle or ether;to a miajority of the instructors in theapplied department-a ])it of hunllan-itv; to the instructors of the -Math.dlepartnilent-a visit to a Ilusical revue;to the VooDoo-a llumlorous inspira-tion ; to the unfortunates ill Heat 242-cross wvord puzzles distributed Illclass ; to the dormis-a thief to lvynch;to the student b~odv,-no termsl at all;to the Tech nienl a la Harvardonianl-a silver cork screw. These are justa fews of the gifts that the ILoungerthinks would spread good cheer amlollgus, and the giving of thein Would bethe best oI charity. Howv about it?'

People certainly are full of ideas !The latest that has comle to the earsof the Lounlger is a suggestion to abol-ish the Christm-as holidays on thegrounds that nien take a couple ofAd eekss to recover from the effects ofthe parties and so on. The Loungeradnlifts that it will take himn a while toI-et over his vacation, but if he had nlothad it, he whould be in all probalbilitylocked up in a padded cell. After week-sof study. which he takes so seriouslyand intensel, lie needs the rest. Hesees the wvisdoinl of the proposed step,however, and begs leave to point out tothe sponsor of this new and efficientplan another evil that has appareritlbeen overlooksed. Studaents are inlvari-ablv groggy during the lectures ininie-di~ately after lunch. It is terribly hardtoo keep awake oil top of a heavv mneal.Therefore, whv not cut out the middaynical? Think of the increased effi.cieiic-,-! The brain, nosw befuddled withfood wvould then act like a steel trap.-\k7hy not cut out vacations and lunch-es ? Efficiencv above all I

The Lounger notes wsith interest thatthe Mil Sci department has found a newoccupation for its resourceful sergeants.The other dav one of them wvas seennavigating a baggage truck about theInstitute with nothing but a bottle ofiiiilk reposing inl uncertain euilibriurnon it. A milk wvagoll would really Ilavebeen more appropriate, but the Lo-ungersupposes that is asking too much.

Evidently the Technology Reviews i"skeered" that THE TECH will get the

j Ullp onl them in up-to-date appeal tothe reading public, judging from thefact that a ' complicated" cross wordpuzzle is a appear in the issue whichcomnes out tomorrow. The Lounger isall agog to see just what the ''conipli-cated" promise will mnean. and he imsalmost inclined to believe that his curi-osity wvill actually compel him to buya CQIpy of the Review, unless he canbullm a cop!- off sonilebodv else.

The L ounger actuallv saxv a fellowvthe other dayr who got a good necktiefor Christmas. It reallv wasn't a mnir-acle. howvever. The truth wvas that thenecktie he had received a-s a present-,vas defective, so lie had exchanged itand picked hiniself out a really goodolle. All the Lounger's Christmas neck-tit'S were defective enough, from hispoint of view, but not enough froml thestore's point of view to lbe returnablll.Thlere ain't no justice (or any SantaClaus, either)!

W;ith his eyes still heavy from sleeplo-st during thle recent vacation, theILounger is inclined to wlonder whlich isor "enjov ing" a modern vac'ation. It'sor "enoyilng" a modern vacation. It'sb~ad enough nows to try to get doxvii tobusiness, but Ye Godfs! thinkc what itwtill be like when wve have to startgrindirng for mid-termls right afterChristtmnas! I

Dartmouth About Equal toBeavers in Team

Strength

WEithl the third big game of the seasonOOloillg Up otl tile horizon the pucksters,

are work~ilg hard for the battle withDartmouth SaturdaN at Hanover.Throughout -vacation practice Advas moreor less suspended because many of themen elected to leave town during the re-cess. Coach W\iggett faces iio-v a propo-SitiOtl that is a stickler to get his menin fast-traveling shape so that they wvillbe able to put uop a good scrap againstthe big Green, As *et the lin~ecp is unl-decided and it is expected that Wiggettwill use his old policy of using all menill ullifornl in the game.

It will be Dartmouth's third officialcontest also, for they have played bothUniversity of Toronto and M~cGill duringthe last wveek or two. However, theCanadians wvere too much for themn stthey proved for every team and sentthem down to def eat without apparenteff ort. I11 the Toronto contest played(1l December 31st, Lou Hudson ran aw~ayf rom the bovs f rom 2N. H. Whilehe led the offensive for Varsity his team-miates held the Dartmouth forwards toone lone tally, to win 7 to 1.

Technology Has Good ChanceThe McGill contest was mnore closely

contested, the Mlontreal men wvinninlg ina fast game by 2 to 1. Both contestswnere played at the Arena and so can-not be a judge of the Green's homestrength oll this account. 'Moreover, theCanadian players were not playing at topslpeec in. either contest. Toronto playedtheir second string most of the time andso did 1f cGill. This gives no basis ofcomparison oil which to base any dopeas to the outcome, except if wie tak~e ill-to account the Harvard gamne with Tor-ollto which the former wvon 2 to 1. But,wec cannot counlt the Crimson equal toToronto ,as the (Canadlian.,; vd ere insolnewhat of a slump that night because of their strenuous gamne with B. C.

Xteam work of the squad, Fr-lberger scoredthe goal against the Canadians. Whileiln Bos5ton then took on Brae Burn inanother unofficial contest, to win I to 0)._\auser accounted for the tally.

I ~Squad of Men

N. E. TECH ON SATURDAY

Streniuous practice is the order of theclay at the Hangar Gym for inemb~ersof the basketball squad these afternoons,for after a two wveek layoff the tearnhas to get going£ in fine form i or thefirst game of the year tllis Saturdayswith 'Northeastern Tech. Today the teamwtill takse on Boston College in a lprac-tice game for Coach McCarthy wantsto leave no stone unturned th~at mna)help the squad in getting into good form.At a meeting of the squad yesterday af-ternlooo sliortlv after the practice ses-sion, E. W. Eager was elected to cap-tain the sport.

Eager who hokls down a guard p~osi-tiOII played a fair game with last year'sqluinltet, though not a pllenomeneal play-er Ed has come tip greatly in his gamein practice and points to strong defen-sive game. With the whole team round-illg into formn it looks as though Macmay strike it lucky and pull through agood team. At least he will not haveto go far to surpass last vear's recordswvlicll after the Northjeasternl game wasone long string of defeats.

Practice Gamne Each AfternoonSininonlds and Forrester both of

whom played last season have returnedto take up the forward positions. Thesetwo along with Ingram and Timmermanmakoe up the group that will take careof the offensive part of the game as farals the forwards are concerned, ErnieHinck; seems to have the center postclinched, although two othier men illLauria and Wilcox provide plenty ofexciting competition. Guards are Caine,Eager, Biehle and Bryant.

Every afternoon nowv the varsity goesthrough a scrimmage weith the subs andmuch -valuable practice is gained throughthe impromptu contests. The squadpracticed for about four weeks beforethe holidays so the men are fairly wvellacquainted with the feel of the ball andthe court. As last year's varsity wvaswoefully weak in this department, itlooks promising for the team winningsomething during their winter campaign.IThe men are also xvell grounded in the

passing game, a circumstance that goesa long was- to winning a few contests.

Again Uncle Horace rakes in thefines! They tell us he collected somefifteen hundred dollars from lucklessstudents. A lot more than he couldsqueeze out of us the first term, whichproves one of two things: either thatwe are getting richer, and can affordto pay the five spot for cutting acouple of days for the sake of one lastparty, or that we are getting dumber,and are flunking more -ubjects, givingour grasping uncle a chance to fleecetis for condition exam fees. Which-ever is true, it saddens the Lounger tosee sonle other man drag in a thousandand a half just at the time he himselfis bent, broken, twisted. and otherwisefinancially embarrassed as a result ofChristmas with its attendant evils:railroad fare home and shopping. Oh.for the chance of being Bursar for aday or two!

*'o w that the o ld cries o f "Ho wv manyH'- did you get? " are being less ire-qtuently heard around the corridors ,men are turnin g to their schedules, a ndtrying to make them as easyr as po-,-sible. There is a terrible scramble toget the professor6s with reputations forleniency, and to "avoid so-and-so.Icause he flunked half his class lastterm." The Lounger, o f course, neverworries about his instructors-heknows he'll get C's or better whoeverhe has ! H-Ifs one main objective, how-ever is to arrange a schedule with noSaturday classes so he can have hisweek-ends off for . . . ahen, hisstudies. No luck up to the presentwriting, though. He fears that theladies-pardon, he means le.ssons-willhave to be lonely this term.

Perhaps it is a good thing that thepath of the total eclipse does not in-clude this community. The men ill thedormitories would probably find them-

' s "-/:'" I CROSSWORD PUZZLEBy S. G. Simpson '16

, The puzzles submitted to T HE T EC H so far have almost h ad a

,tendency to have their black squares form some kind of Technology

insignia, as this one does. Generally this sacrifices good interlock

and prevents the use of clever words, but the puzzle today has ex-

]cellent points in spite of the trick design.

A FORWARD STEP

TrIwE new eligibility rule passed by the Advisory Council .is one

1 which is bound to ineet with a great deal of adverse criticism,

but it is beyond question a desirable step. It puts Technology on

an equal footing with other colleges, the majority of which have

a similar eligibility rule. It thus eliminates troublesome explana-

tions and adjustments which have in the past been made necessary

by the fact that our eligibility rules have been less strict than

those of many of our teams' competitors.Of course this rule may work adversely for solne squads, but

any such effect is bound to be overcome in a short time by the

rise of new men. Besides, the new rule, in accordance with the

usual policy of the Advisory Council, will not go into effect until

next Fall. This gives ample notice for the managers of the various

sports to put machinery in motion to compensate for any loss which

the new rule may cause them.Athletic eligibility and the closeness -with which rules regard-

ing it are followed is an important factor in the outside standing

of the teams of a college. The Advisory Council has always main-

tained high standards in this matter, and the new rule is only an-

otfher expression of their desire to make the standard of athletics

at the Institute as high as possible.

THE NEED FOR A SONG

T HE cynics and the sophisticates decry such a discussion as this

-a plea for an original and spirited song unmistakably identi-

fied with Technology,-but in doing so they ignore a fundamental

human temperment which always responds to sentiments musicallyexpressed.

The committee conducting the Technology Prize Song Contest

has extended the time for the present year until the fifteenth of

this month. First of all there is the $200 prize offered for the song

chosen each year. But more important, there should be a sense of

institutional obligation that should impell those having the ability

to try their hand at a song that pertains to Technology.A survey of the present song list is only necessary to indicate

the need of a new one. While the Stein Song is musically and

lyrically good, it is never associated with the Institute because there

is nothing in common. The other songs are more or less trivial

and lack the element of quality that is to be found in the songs of

our contemporary institutions.We began by mentioning the importance of a spirited and

expressive song. There is nothing better to crystallize sentiment

and to focus enthusiasm. Religious chants, martial songs of patriot-

ism, all songs relating to social interests have p-roved their great

value. Our feeling for Technology needs a vehicle-one with a

royal swing, one that clings to the fancy and lives in the memory

regardless of whether we are gifted with a "tonal perception" or a

"tonal memorv." Such a song should be in the realm of possibility.

In the course of holiday travel it was noticed that in general

those students who plaster M.I.T. labels on their baggage were

usually those of whom we are the least proud!

SEEING THE ECLIPSE

OPULAR interest is waxing keen over the eclipse of the sun

1 which will take place two weeks from tomorrow. Scientific

investigators are making elaborate preparations for observation of

this great natural phenomenon, railroads are running special trains

to take observers into the band of totality, and plans are being made

by most schools and colleges for observation.Wesleyan and Wellesley wvill have classes suspended for the

eclipse, as will other colleges in New England. It was announced

vesterday that mid-year exams at Harvard which come the morn-

ing of the eclipse will be postponed from 9 to 10 o'clock, to permit

students to view the eclipse from the most favorable vantage points.

It is particularly interesting to note that this is the first time in its

history that Harvard has changed its academic schedules for any

natural phenomenon.As yet no similar provision for observation has been made at

the Institute. In views of the steps which other colleges are taking

to permit their students to view this impressive event, and especi-

ally in view of the fact that Technology is a scientific institution, it

seems entirely appropriate and desirable that classes should be sus-

pended on the day of the eclipse, or at least that 9 o'clock classes

should be excused.

Technology's puckchasers will stand an even chance for a winw-hen thex' meet the strong Dartmouth hockey team at Hanovertomorrow, Coach Gerald Wiggett said yesterday. Improvement inthe combination play and the development of a strong defense isthe reason for the optimism expressed by the coach.

Northeastern Defeated by TuftsCoach McCarthy has built up a

smooth running team out of nearly newmaterial, and has an outfit that shouldhave a successful season. The team israther weak on foul shooting, and madegood very few trie6. All the basketsmade in the game were from near thebasket, neither team attempting anylong shots. Both teams used the fiveman defense. Wilcox played a finegame at center, and Hinck and CaptEager showed up well. The perform-ance gave the team some much neededpractice for the opening game of theseason with Northeastern on Saturdaynight and promises a good chance ofwinning. The game will be played inthe hangar and will start at 8:30.Dancing will follow.

In their first meet of the season, North-eastern's freshman and varsity qu,,tetswent down to defeat before the basket-ball teams from Tufts. the varsitv scor-ing a well fought game to the tune of31 to 19. The freshman team lost witha big margin, 50 to 15.

CRAM FOR FENCING ATA TEXAS UNIVERSITY

Among the newer indoor sports atTexas University is cramming for afencing final. Since a certain amount ofcredit is given for fencing, it was de-cided to test the proficiency of thosetaking the course by adding it to thet of subjects requiring an examination.Eight girls and over twelve men tookthe course the first term, and a greatincrease is expected next term. It ishoped that the number of men will in-crease. Since a class of eighteen girlsis expected during the winter term, every-thing points to a larger men's class.Marks were quite low for the first term'swork, as might be expected in a newcourse, but improvement is looked for inthe future by the instructors in charge.

Student Succeeds InCrossing Of Charles

An intrepid student has finallybraved the d(angers of the Charlesriver and the Metropolitan Park po-lice and crossed the ice in safety.Ycsterdav afternoon a dinm spectw|as discerned near the Boston sideorf the river and interested bystand-ers began to speculate on the fateof the embryo Comniodore Peary.Mlany expected hinm to emulateEliza before hlie succeeded in reach-ing the Cambridge shore, but for-tune was kind and the explorer gotto the landing in safety.

No reception committee of police-men was at the dock to meet thetraveler. Either his presence wasnot discovered, or the officers svi-pathized with the attempt to provethe ice was safe for navigation.

The nied clinic is an extremely lbusyplace these days. We suspect the holi-days had something to do with it. Acouple of weeks of sleeplessness, sev-eral surplus tons of food, plus otherdissipation is bound to react. TheLounger is of the opinion that thevalue of the clinic is not fully realized.* * *

We wonder if the intercollegiatecross word puzzle contest held in NewYork over the holidays will start simi-lar ones. How about a national tour-nament to determine the most facilecollegiate wordsmiths-to determinethe most gabbling student body in thecountry? In advance we feel that anearlb)3 institution would have a walk-away. Of course for rapidity, the\woicn would come through in ad-vance.

DANCE TO BE GIVENBY 1927 THIS TERM

Frosh Also Plan Hop AlthoughNothing Definite Decided

At an interview with P. I. Cole,President of the Sophomore Class, astatenmecnt was niade to the effect thatthe Class of 1927 swould probably holda dance sometinie during the presentterm. As social activities usually havethe ascendency over athletics duringthe \Vinter Tern. it has been more orless of a customI in the past for allclasses with the exception of theIJuniors, w\ho must get ready for theirprom ill the third ternm, to lhold dances|during the second ternL

The Class of 1927 heldl a dance dur-ing the second termn last year and ifrunmors are correct this y'ear's fresh-nian class will do likewise although nodefinite plans have been drawn up tothe present date. Similarly nothingdefinite has been acconmplished towarddeciding matters regarding the Sopho-nore's hop of this terni but a meetingof the class officers at an early datewill probably get things under wavSGoon1. The fresh also intend to settlethe details of their affair in the nearfuture.

The Scniors have as yet nothing tosay regarding a dance. However, con-sidering the two hops proposed above,the Winter Concert and Dance of theCombined Musical C(lubs on the 23rd ofthis mnonth, the Dorni Dance next Fri-dav, and the Tech-Dartniouth Concertandl Dance of the clubs which may takeplace this ternm, there will be plentyof work afoot for the social hounds ifthings plan out as expected.

Professor Refuses toSmoke Cheap Cheroot

At yesterday's Popular ScieniceLecture on gasoline and other fuels,Professor Gill had occasion to usea lighted cigar in miaking experi-mients on the iiiflainnmabilith of ga-s-oline. Displayling what lie terimeda "cheap" cigar, Professor Gill in-stead ot proceeding in the usual1aimer of lighting the cheroot bydirect inhalation, placed it in the

end of a tube which led through aseries of flasks aud niore tubing toa water suction, anid lighted it wvith

a Bunsen buriier. The professor didnot offer any reason for this peculiarmethod but left it to be -wonderedwhether it was because lie was atotal abstainer from nicotine or

whether it was due to the low qual-ity of the cigar. which latter wasanply- evident from the fulmes evol-

ved in the process. Incidenitally, thegasoline. being in a tall beaker andthereby prevented from a mnixture

with air, was not ignited wheni thecigar was broutght near.

Decision To Be Reached AtInstitute Committee Meeting

On Thursday

That a Technology Circus is desirableseemis to be agreed by everyon e inclId-iing the presidents of all three classes.The on-l question is one of expediencyfor since the new decorations ill themain hall of Walker -will probably prc-vent the holding of the circus there, itwill be necessary to find another place.

G. L. Bateman, president of the Se-nior Class declared, "I believe the stu-dent body wants a circus and I am infavor of arranging one for it." Aspresident of the Institute ComnmitteeBateima n has appointed a sub-commit-tee to determine the facts of the cir-cus situation, and the committee willpresent a report at the next meetingof the Institute Committee.

"I am very much in favor ot havinga circus, andl I am sure that the entireJunior Class thinks so," is the commentof R. W. Head, president of the Junior

Class. "Moreover, I have spoken withmanv members of the Institute Com-mittee and of the various classes and I

find that evervone is in favor of theplan. Anything like the TechnologyCircus which rouses the school spiritof the student body is a good thing forthe Institute."

"The student body at Technology hastoo few opportunities to get togetherfor us to allow so splendid a chance as

a Technology Circus to escape us," saysP. I. Cole, president of the SophomoreClass. "A Technology Circus ''s a finething since it brings all the students to-gether socially thus affording an op-portunity for the building up of a great:Technology spirit. I am heartily infavor of the plan and believe that thosevho have charge of it should do all in

their power to put it across."

approach of the eclipse. The best re-sult is obtained by shielding the eyesfrom bright light until totality begins.About 30 degrees to the right of the

sun will be seen in a group the threeplanets. lercury, Venus. and Jupiter.

In order /or people in and aroundBoston to have a chance to see the to-tal eclipse the New York New Haven

and Hartford Railroad will run a spe-cial coach train to Westerlv, R. I.where the eclipse will be wholly visible.The Board oi Trade of Westerly havearranged a special platform within tenminutes walk from the station whereevery opportunity will be given to see

it, providing the weather is favorable.The price of the fare oln the train willbe $3.18 round trip, the return beingmade directly after the eclipse arriv-ing in Boston about 12 o'clock.

Although the eclipse will be 99 percent visible in Boston the one per centof the sun that will not be covered willspoil the whole show and will not af-fect the sun materially. In placeswhere the eclipse will be total all hensand animals will go to roost and cockswill crow as if night had come. Manyfanatics will also have a chance to tellthe public that the end of the world

will come at the same time.

Details of Pedometer ContestDecided on By Clubs'

Management

XVith the first concert oi the termover and plans practically complete fortheir \Winter Coucert, the CoombinedMusical Clubs have taken the first biteout of their heavy schedule this term.Encore6 ad infinitunm would have beenthe feature of the concert at the Lex-ington Old Belfry Club last Fridayevening it the audience had had its way.As it was, it took all the efforts of themanagement to keep the program with-in the prescribed time limits. A\Xhenasked for a criticism of the affair, Pres-ident Mathews of the Old Belfry Clubsaid. "The only criticism I can offer isthat there was 'lot enough oi it. You

did not give enough encores.The Baujo Club and the banjo duet

bv Raymnond Mancha '26 and D. A.Shepard '26 were evidently the most

popular offerings on the program sincethe former was applauded for three

minutes and forced to play an encorewhile the latter eventually renderedthree encores.

Pedometer to Decide WinnerThe management of the clubs has de-

cided on several details of the WinterConcert to be given on Friday even-ing, January 23, in the Louis .NV Ball-room of the Hotel Somerset. Theconcert program will be limited to ninenumbers in order to allow the maximumpo)ssible time for dancing. Regarding

the dance orchestra to play1 for the af-fair, the clubs have niade no decision,

since it is a question of whether an out-side orchestra should be hired for the

dance following the concert or wheth-er the job should be undertaken by

the clubs' orchestra.

Ticket Sale Starts Today 1

It has already been announced that cthe clubs intend to initiate a new styleof divertissement at the concert in the I

shape of a guessing contest. One of tthe members of the clubs will carry a tpedometer in his pocket throughout the

evening. The instrument will be set atzero at the beginning of the affair and .wrill be stopped at 3 o'clock. Smalltslips of paper will be distributed with:the program at the start of the per- gformartce. Those attending the con- ecert will write their names and their

guess at the pedometer reading on their sslip of paper and will deposit it in a e

box provided for the purpose. Thewinner will receive free couple tickets

CAST, CHORUS ANDBALLET CUTS MADE

AT FIRST MEETINGNew Wayburn Introduces Unique

System in SelectingCandidates

POSTER COMPETITION OPEN

"\Vonderful material hcre,-I'ii sureof it," said Necd Wayburn, coach ofTech Show 1925 at the first assemblyof all candidates on Saturday evening.AMr. \Vaxyburn was particularly pleased

whith the personality of the men whoturned out, .aying that in the try-outs/or the average amateur show this im-portant characterstic was greatly lack-irg.

North hall alas filled with enthusias-tic can(lidates wyho were anxious tosing, dance, or take a speaking part inTech Show 1925. Everv sheik andThespiani at the Institute was presentat the first meeting-cach waiting foran opportunity to reveal his talents as

. a juvenile, light comedian, chorus girl,or chorus man. Fortv-six men tookpart in the first tests for members ofthe chorus and ballet alone, and 30 oth-ers were present for the first elirnina-tions for the cast.

Coach Uses Unique SystemMr. Waybprn first outlined his meth-

od of coaching, extremely simple andgreatly different from that employed byprevious coaches of Tech Shoxv. "Dis-

s cipline," lie stated, was the moost im-portant feature of his school of danc-ing. He also emphasized the fact thatall rehearsals nmust conme on time, and

t that every member of the cast, chorus,or ballet must appear ont the minute

in order that no tine be wasted. Allof the players will receive instructions

as to "make-up," the use of several ex-tra people to make up the actors beinga waste of tinie and expense in Mr.Wayburn's opinion. "Nothing is so pa-thetic," he said, "as to see a groupof amateur players with poor make-up."

After further instructions and abrief explanation of some of the techni-

cal terms in stagecraft, the coach pro-ceeded to put all candidates for thechorus and ballet through a series ofgroup tests, all of which were to deter-mine aswhether or not the men had aproper "sense of rhythm." Several of

To tile E'ditor'After readinig tile acconnt of the

mneeting of the Advisory, Council olnAthletics we wvondered if that imporftaut body-has niot lost sight of the pur-po-se for which it was formed. Toquote the catalogue. "The pur'pose ofathletics at the Institute is not to de-velop highly trained teams, but ratherto encourage all student.,s to participatein some form of phy'sical recreation.Frhe success of a given athletic activityis gauged by the number of men it at-tracts." The object of the Council isto uphold athletics as stated. They al-so ·seem to be concerned with an im-aginary m~enace of professionalisnt.

For a college to have professionalathletes on its teanis at least two thingsare necessary: money and enthusiasmn.At some colleges the gate receipts ofgames and eagerness of alumini to bepresent and back the team make boththese things very evident, but at MV. 1.T., where there is no, revenue from ad-milssionls, and where contests with out-side colleges are viewed by a meagrehandful of students, this menace ofprofessionalism is practically nil.

Howvever, the chief object of theCouncil is stated to be the inducing ofas large a number of men a~s possible toget into athletics. But what is it thatnmakes men get into .sports? \Why is itthat at least a quarter of the freshmanclass at Yale or Princeton go out at thefirst call for football nien? It is be-cause the nien who make the varsitywill play the best teams iln the countrYonl eveil terms. Why is it that about60 per cent of tile student body atPrinceton is in some form of athletics ?It is because the teamis of that univer-sits' are successful in the acceptedsenise' of the word and to make one ofthe teams means something to the un-dergraduate. \Why is it that at Wil-liam-s over half of the students partici-pate in sports? It is because the teamsof that college, wxhile not of the calibreof those of larger colleges, competesuccessfully with colleges of their owni-size.

Conversely, the M1. 1. T. swimmingsquad this year did not have enoughmen to nmake up a class meet. and wefind that the varsity of last year lostmost of their cofitests. The franticappeals for candidates onl the boxingteam is the direct result of last year'srecord. Oin thle other ]hand, the crewwas faith' .successful last year, anid thesquad has greatly % rael

Interest in a team means a largesquad. But it takes more than nmralvictories to make the Institute take in-terest in a team. When tile Counciltake cognizance of this fact they willtry to help, not hinder, the varsityteanis. The eligibility rule passed atthe last meeting will certainly injuresome teams. Weakening a team willdecrease the number of candidates forthe succeeding squad: this mneans de-creasing the number of men out for-athletics.

Is thi-s the object of the AdvisoryCouncil onl Athletics?

The Lounger got the thrill of hisyoung life the other day-he found along. official looking envelope from"WVho's \Vho" in his mail box. "Ahia

hie thought, p~atting himself mientally onthe back, "I see iiy fan/e has spreadabroad." He opened the impressivemissive and saw within a questionaire,asking him to put down his "specialachievements or inventions," to tell ofwhat corporations he was director, togive a brief outline of the books he hadwritten, and much more similar infor-miation about his life history. He hadjust about decided that people had atlast realized his greatness, and hadstarted to write a sketch of his workwith THE TECH, when in comie hisroommnate, flourishing a duplicate epis-tle, pointing to a little request for aten dollar subscription to "Whio's W~hoin Engineering for 1925" which theLouinger had previously, overlooked.His air castle had crumbled. If or-dinary engineers like his roomminate canget their nantes in the book bv thetpayment of a paltry ten 1bucks. theLounger will save th~e ten for futureuse. It was quite delightful to feel fa-IlnioS, even for a short time, however,despite the .shock of realization that itwas all a imoney making scheme!

The Church Directory that his col-leagues put in last Friday has been anever failing source of amiusemient tothe ILounger. His interest was arousedhv, one of the announcenments of a rath-er famious Boston church to tile effectthat there would be a "Young People'sMeeting at I A. M. Sunday." That is

achurch after the Lounger's own heart.Mfidnight parties to anmuse the pleasureseeking and hell-bent younger gene-ration. Hot stuff!

One of tile prettiest comtpliments everpaid to an R. 0. T. C. nian was over-heard hy the Lounger the other day inBoston. One of our emibryo Re6erveOfficers, togged out iu his finest b~ootsand spurs, shining marksmanship imed-als, brilliant buittons, a camp~aign baror two to add a {bit of color, and all therest of the " fxns"was -walking dtownthe street, doing his best to carry him-self like a \Vest Pointer, when a littleur'chin pointedl hini out to a frieud ina-wed admiration. saying in a hoarsestage whiisper "Look. dore goes a sog-er! 7' Now isin't that the fine-st comipli-nment one could vwish for-to be thoughta real soldier?

THE CIRCUS

AT the beginning of this termn we pointed out that. since it is outAof the question to hold a circus in the newly decorated ma~in

h'all of Walker, the hangar gym would be a highly satisfactory sub-stitute. The question of whether or not there be a circus this yearcomes up again this week, when it is probable that the circus comn-mittee will present their report at the mneeting of the Institute Com-mittee.

little consideration cannot fail to show\ that the hangar gy'mi~s excellently adapted for the circus. There is as much actual floorspace as in Walker, and in addition there is an excellent stand forspectators, besides a smnall stage, which would be ideal for specialevents -without interfering with the main floor space by erecting aplatform. The floor is unobstructed by pillars, and there is littlelikelihood of damage to the gyrn, in view of its construction.

The circus is a splendid medium for the development of Institutespirit and activity, and it is certainly to 1)e hoped that the circuscommnittee will recommiend favorably on it.

COLLEGE MISFITS

T the recent meeting of the American Association of CollegesAthe point w\as brought up that millions of dollars were wasted

annually because so imany go to college and are forced to drop outsooner or later because of mental -unfitness. It -\,as contended thatthe money spent upon these students is a waste.

If this be true the first question that arises is: \V'hy- do thecolleges allow these incapable people to -et within their portals ?Is it this nioney, this wasted mnoney, that the colleges are anxiousto get ? Is it that they are trying to strengthen their positionthroug-h the mere force of numbers? Or is it that they considertdat out of much chaff can be gleaned a maximum of abilility.

Taken from alnost any- viewpoint it seemis that the collegesIlhenmseh-es are to be taken~ to task as being responsible for thefailtre of so many misfits in college. Something is wrong with en-trance requirements; the colleges do not try stffficiently hard tow{eed out the weak material at first.

:In the army, in numer~ous colleges, and in industrial work psy-chological tests have proved that they iea acrt index ofmnentality. In colleges they have showxnzhowx iany, mnany- studentswith low intelliglent quotients try to enter, and they have made itpossible to pre-vent theim fromt doing so. Thifs is but one form ofeffort that colleges can mnake to keep out the dead w\ood.

It is up to every man to study his own case. An F is no reasonfor stimiarill, dropping all one's activities. On the other hand,an H or two is n iot anyv ground for overloading with extra w\,ork.IDiscretion and muoderationi should rule in either case. No one elsecan dictate ho-w imuch time any, given nman should devote to inon-academic work~.

ACTIVITIES AND THE MAN

~)ITH each set of reports sent out by the Institute. wvith the cor-Y ¥corespoindin- set of Faculty Votes, there conmes a reiiewal of

the (-)d discussiort as to how, iluch time a manl should put on hisstudies, and how,, muchi I-e can ,afford for activities of one sort orother. This term.1 as always before, attempts at §eneralizationhave been made. Endeavors to genernaiz7e about such -a topic neverhave been successful and never wvill be. Each individual case nmstbe studied separately.

There have been efforts to say just how- much outside -work~

Vihe average man can (lo without interfering with his outside workTechnology-. With no intent to criticize any particular person, webeg tLo disagree. We do not desire to cast aspersions at this 'manor that one,-but wve feel that since none of us are "a-verage" all theway throughi, the plan of attempting to fit every- man to some ar-bitrary standard wvill not work out in practice.- Fortunately, thisf~allaci'ous plan is being followed only by a small minority of ad--visors, and it is hoped that the number will decrease as times gloes on.

It is impossible to say, for examnple, that a mart will pass allhis studies if he devotes only so mnany hours a week to recreationand other things that will give him a change of thought. It all de-pends upon the individual. Some men can carry several activitiesand -et high marks-others fail when they do nothing but work.(Work, of a valueless sort, of course.) Is it not better to workhard and play hard as we have been advised to again and again,than to spend hours at one's desk, when half the time spent in con-centrated work and the rest at some diversion would do the trickjust as well?

Live Wire StudentsDon't let this wonderful oppor-

tunity for substantial extra earnhig6pass you by. We are looking for afew more good men who are able totalk convincingly to business mnen.A few hours of concentrated activityevery day means a payroll of about$50.6'0 per week.

Night In WalkerDr. A. W. Rowe '01 and Coach

Bill Haines Are AmongThe Speakers

Tomorrow eveniing at 6:30 o'clock ailcrew men of the three upper classes willgather in the North Hall of Walker foraL dinner, at wvlich the coaches and mana-gers will outline the plans for tlhe Springseason. The main idea for the affair isto get the men together prior to thecommencement of the regular practicesat the boathouse. Following the dinnershort talks will be giveni by Bill Haines,Dr. Rowe, Mfanager Guy Frisbie, and the

other coaches.Durinig the first week of this term only

the freshmen have been reporting forrowinig practice, but *n *;\ednesday after-noon all the crews will start in on an in-tenisive training for the remainder of theterm. It is the desire of the coaches toget the men together at a dinner iIorder that they mnay fully,- understandvwhat is expected of them and why theirvwhole hearted sul)port is absolutely essen-tial to the success of the sport.

Bill Haines platns tu give the men oneof his sincere talks ,)n what he expects

o)f thenem during tlhe season. For the\Varsity, Junior Varsity, and 150 pound

crews lie has i real message, and all themen on any of these crews are especiallyurged to attend.

It is Bill's opinion that if the men ontlhe competitive crews can be made torealize what they are up against ini theIine of competition early in the season,they will be more. nearl- readv to meetthe opposing crews whien the time comes.in his talk lie will undoubtedly stressemphatically the necessity of the mencoming out as soon, and as early ini theseason, as possible.

Randall Scores TwiceBerkeley of the engineers carried the

largest bturden of the defensive wvork,while Randall, in left wing position, wasthe engineers' inost proemainent carrier oftlhe puck. The absence of Eddie Moultonfrom the forward line was seriously feltfor his pretty shots for the net werealways dependable as one of the redeem-ing features of a Technology contest.

Randall scored both points for theengineer delegation and provided lots ofwork for the Dartmouth defense. Al-though Technology had several easychances to score, ineffectiveness ishooting proved a serious handicap.

Technology's wrestlers won an easy and decisive victory overthe Northeastern grapplers in the opening match of the season forboth teams in the hangar gyrn Saturday night. Six of the boutsvere decided by falls, and a decision was rendered in only the 125

Friends and Former Students ofProfessor Sedgwick Found

Lectureship

This year's Sedgwick Memorial Lec-ture. the third of the series, will begiven by Professor Wi. J. V. Osterhoutin Huntington Hall at 5 o'clock Janu.ary 23, on the subject "Some Funda-mental Problems of Cellular Phyisiol-

oge."The Sedgwick lecture Memorial Lec-

tureship was instituted by the friendsand fonler students of Professor W. T.Sedgwick, former head of the Depart-nient of Biology and Public Health,who died about four years ago. Thepresent generation of Technolog- stu-dents know Professor Sedg-ick onl-by hearsay, but, according to Profes-sor S. C. Prescott, present head of theDepartment of Biology and PublicHealth, he wias nmuch more than amere professor; he was a man of inter-national reputation in the field of Bio-logy, of striking and attractive person-ality, and an advisor and friend a6 wellas a teacher.

"So strong was his influence felt b-the graduates of his course, that afterhis death, his friends and former stu-dents established the Memorial Lec-tureship as a fitting remembrance andtribute to him, and one, which, it wNasfelt, would have been most pleasing tohimself."

It was decided to give one lectureeach y ear. the subjects to be alterna-tels from the field of Public Healtliand from Biologyc since ProfessolSedgwick -,as equally Interested itboth these subjects. Last year's lecturdwas given by Professor W. H. Welchof Johns Hopkins University, on the-subject "Foundations of Public Health,"so that this vear's lecture will be on zCpurely biological topic.

Proiessor Prescott declares thatwhile the subjects are not along theprofessional line of manr of the stu-dents, they are topics of great generainterest and as such will add greatlyto the information and culture of thoseattending. He wishes that as many aspossible make use of this opportunityof hearing a distinguished speaker talkIon a worth -vhile subject.

At the second lecture of a series ofeight entitled "Our Mobile Earth,"which are being given each Monday andThursday at Huntington Hall under theauspices of the Lowell Institute, Dr.Reginald A. Daly, Ph.D., S. D., who isgiving the lectures, spoke on "Seismiol-ogy, the Science of Earthquakes." In-asmuch as Boston had experienced anearthquake only the day before, thelecture turned out to be of very imme-diate interest. Dr. Daly mentioned theearthquake il his talk, stating thatwhile he is not a trained seismologist hebelieved the earthquake to have beenvery near Boston and to have had itsorigin somewhere in the L2errimac Val-lcy. With the aid of a pen and inksketch, he described the seismographrecord at Harvard.

Professor at HarvardDr. Dalv, who is now chairman of

the geological and geographical depart-ment at Harvard Universit-, llolds de-grees from several universities and hasstudied at Heidelburg and Paris. Hewas also for several years geologist forthe Canadian Interllational BoundarvSurvey-s and for the six vears ending1912 was professor of physical geologyhere at the Institute. Since 1912 hehas been the Sturgis-Hooper professorof geology at Harvard. He is a Fellowof the American Academy of Arts andSciences and a member of several geo-logical societies.

In his lecture Thursday night, Dr.Dal!r said that it is only recently that"the fault or tectonic origin of nearlyall important earthquakes has becomeclear.". He then illustrated this typeof earthquake by giving an account andexplanation of the California earth-quake of 1906. In a suminiarv of hislecture, Dr. Daly said that earthquakesof this nature are incomparably mnore-erious than other forms, but that amnore thorough understanding of thecause of earthquakes would enable awarning forecast to be made. The lec-ture tonight wuill be on "Nature of theEarth's Interior."

In Aerial SurveyingAt Present

G. H. Miathes '95, an authority uponAerial Surveying gave his first of aseries of 20 lectures before 600 studentsFridav.

Mrr. Mathcs spoke on the three dif-ferent forms of maps that are used byengineers, the difficulties of these maps,and the wide opening in this line forengineers.

"The first aerial map was miade in1861 fron a kite and was a very crudeaffair full of errors. With the ad-vance of the aeroplane the maps havetaken on a practical significance andalthough the results are not yet per-fect the map from the air of today isat least as good if not better than mapsmade from the ground. In a recentground map made of a large area often miles the transit was found to be210 feet out of line and flas discoveredb-,- an aerial niap, made of the sameterritory," stated Mr. Mathes.

There are three mnap-s made from theair that are ini use at the present time a Mosaic map, made by patching threeor four separate aid maps together; aphotographic niap, made bys rephoto-graplling aerial nlaps; and the Linenilaps, a combination of the aerial mapand the ground map.

Withl the use of the steroscope theflat maps have nowa assumed practicalimportance a-s by looking through thismachine hills and valley s are easilymlade out.
