Freshman PhilanthropistAdds To Oscar's Worries

As most of the fellowsaround the Institute know, Os-car Hedlund has a purpose inplacing those sticks at intervalsalong the cinder txack. Somefellows, however, have to be dif-ferent, and one of this type wasout running around the tracklate one evening recently, whenone of the Cambridge urchinsapproached him questioningly.

"Kin I have some of demsticks for firewood, Mister?"

The freshman slowed in hisstride momentarily. "Sure, takeall you want, kid." When hecame around the track again,there was the urchin, walkingoff with as many of the sticksas he could manage. And that,Oscar, believe it or not, is thecause of the disappearance ofyour markers.

Moral:You can figure it outfor yourself, Oscar, but we'rewarning you, he's still out fortxack.

Report Low Akverage of;Dormi'tory Frosh Rating-

,.

Figures relfased at the Dor-mitory Committee meeting lastMonday show that the av-erage rating of all the fresh-men in the Dormitories, at thefive week mark, is 2.87. Theratings are based on 37 units:5.01, 8.01, E-11 and M-11. Thenumber of freshmen taking thefull freshman schedule is nine-ty-two.

Five men received ratings be-tween 4.00 and 4.50; twenty-onebetween 3.50 and 4.00; twenty-onebetween 3.00 and 3.50; eighteenbetween 2.50 and 3.00; thirteenbetween 2.00 and 2.50; ten be-tween 1.50 and 2.00; and fourbetween 1.00 and 1.50. Thenames of all the freshmen withratings under 3.00 have beengiven to their Hall Chairmen.

The average Dormitory rat-ing in June, 1932, was 3.23.

E.E.DepartmentOffers Colloquia

For Eighth Year"Transmission Line Transients"

Will Be Discussed InFirst Colloquium

For the past seven years the De-partment of Electrical Engineeringhas offered a series of colloquia eachyear through the co-operation ofmanufacturing, operating and engi-neering companies and firms in theelectrical engineering field, and col-loquia are now arranged for the pres-ent term. These colloquia, open toseniors, graduate students and jun-ior honor students, are designed to ac-quaint them with the way in whichthe fundamental sciences, especiallymathematics and physics are appliedto particular engineering problems.

Each colloquium is led by an en-gineer of important achievement inhis own company. The presentationcovers two hours on each of two suc-cessive days. References are an-nounced for each colloquium severaldays ahead so that those planning toattend may secure the proper back-ground. In general, the leaders willwelcome questions and discussion atany appropriate point in the presen-tation.

Four Subjects Will Be DiscussedFor the first term of this academic

year the following colloquia are an-nounced:November 21-22, Mr. L. V. Bewley,

Power Transformer Dept., GeneralElectric Company, "TransmissionLine Transients".

December 5-6, Mr. F. H. Buller, CableSection, Central Station Engineer-ing Department, General ElectricCompany, "The Design and Opera-tion of Oil Impregnated PaperCables." . .. ..

Murley Given HandicapAs an added attraction an amazing

quarter-mile race for track managerswas staged. John Murley, 237-poundyearling was given a 140-yard handi-cap, with the other six managers whocompeted starting from scratch. Mur-ley got off to a late start, and hisopponents were gaining steadily, butthe robust freshman had enoughenergy to hold his advantage anddash across the line some twenty yardsahead of the next manager.

FENCERS WILL ELECTCAPTAIN THIS WEEK

Veterans To Choose New Leaderfor the Coming Season

The fencing team will not be with-out a captain after next Wednesday,according to a statement made byManager Frank J. Brazel, '35. Lastyear's swordsmen elected VincentFrisby for the position, but he hasnot returned to the Institute this fall.The vacancy must be filled by a vet-eran letter man, of whom there arebut two on the squad. WhetherPentler or Wells is to be captain willbe decided by last year's team, whichwill vote by mail.

Both the manager and Coach Rothfeel that they have material fromwhich they can develop a strong teamfor the coming season. Although thecomplete schedule for 1932-1933 hasas yet not been determined, the fol-

Game, Makes Two GoalsTo Lead Team

KRON, BROCKMANN SCORE

Finishing the regular 1932 schedulewith a smashing victory,-the. Institutesoccer team defeated the Clark Uni-versity eleven of Worcester by a 4to I score at the Coop Field last Sat-urday afternoon. The Engineers dis-played their best form of the entireseason, and their teamwork was beau-tiful to watch.

Playing his last game for Technol-ogy, Captain Gus Kidd6 gave a bril-liant exhibition of ball handling, andscored two of his team's goals. Kidd6has played as either halfback or full-back for most of his three years as aregular on the Beaver varsity, butfor the Clark game Coach MalcolmGoldie transferred him to center for-ward. The excellent offensive playof the team last Saturday showedthat the move was a good one.

Kron and Brockmann ScoreKron, playing right inside, and

Brockmann, at left wing, were theother Engineers to dent the scoringcolumn, each accounting for one goal.

Final records for the season showthat the Institute booters scored atotal of eight goals, against eighteenfor their opponents, and that theirefforts resulted in two victories inseven games. It must be remem-bered, however, that one of the de-feats was an overtime contest, andthat another was lost by the marginof a single goal. Since Captain Kidd6is the only regular *vho will-gradtuatenext June, Coach Goldie feels certainthat next year's booters will improveupon the record made this fall.

Dr. Lindgren TellsMining Society OfGolden Prosperity

Professor Morris Presents "TheWorst Side of Geology"

-'To Members

Speaking before the members of theMining and Metallurgical Society,Professor Waldemar Lindgren, headof the Department of Geology, told ofplaces where depression did not exist.

"Mine gold, that doesn't go down.Gold stays right where it is," saidDr. Lindgren. In recent trips to thegold mining regions of Canada andCalifornia he noted that everythingwas booming; every man had a job;there was no depression.

Professor Frederick K. Morris, ofthe Geology- Department, tallied on"the very worst side- of Geology" inDr. Lindgren's words. - He explainedclearly his conceptions of the .formand the formation of the earth:.. ;Ieshowed how similar species of ani-mals are to be found in all parts ofthe earth. He discredited many the-ories of the earth's. structure with thesimple statement,' "It's bad en.g!neer-ing." He stressed the fact that theearth itself is a great engineer.

As for the future of the engineer,Professor Morris said, "So'me of usthought at the beginning of the de-pression that the engineer might dis-appear. He will when the Earthceases to be an engineer."

Digressing for the nonce from thehum drum of the everyday life, letus take you far away and over thehills to the day when the boys fromthe United States Military Academywere gallanting around Boston, plusuniform, plus the Army manner.

Perhaps the seclusion of the lowerreaches of the Hudson river has astiffening effect upon the courtesy ofthese future protectors of the -nation,but whatever it is, it was all very per-plexing to at least one young lady ofEmerson.

Jan Whiteman and the uniformsagreed with each other in a ratherremarkable fashion, except that Jansays they are a little stiff. In pointof fact, one handsome Lothario, inthe execution of his duties as escortof the evening, tried to help heralight from the well-known and oft-used taxi.

Now it so happened that this wasthe last ride of the sojourn, whichmay have confused Jan a little. Atany rate, the Army boy proffered hishand, held stiffly from the shoulder.Recognizing a peculiar situation. Jandid the best there was to do. Shestepped -nicely to the ground, tookthe proffered fist, and shook it warm-ly. They say the Army was slightlynon-plussed, but how is a poor girlto know?

In opening its columns to letters addressedto the Editor, THE TECH does not guaranteepublication Of aony communication nor does itnecessarily endorse the opinions expressed.Letters on subjects of interest to the studentbody are welcome if signed. However, if thewriter so desires, only the initials will appearon Publication.

Truly Representative?To the Editor of THE TECH:

"The good name of Technology hasbeen protected". Thus runs the open-ing sentence of an editorial which be-cause of its utter lack of a sense ofproportion and of the eterna-l fitnessof things, coupled with extreme badtaste, will cause the tongues of othercollege news organs to wag for a con-siderable length of time with remarkswhich cannot be other than deroga-tory to this same good name whichhas just been so gloriously upheld, ac-cording to the fatuous statement ofour editor.

The noble and fatherly editor ofTHE TECH has taken upon himselfthe duty of informing Miss Hunterthat she must not aspire to any classoffices or otherwise engage in Insti-tute politics. To quote: "We are verysorry, Miss Hunter, but it seems thata girl is hardly the proper -represen-tative for a class of boys."

There was no necessity for adminis-tering this slap in the face, with itsaccompanying admonition. To be sure,in a school consisting mainly of malestudents it is oh, so laudable to dis-courage a girl from trying to super-sede the male in any of his more cher-ished activities. But our editor doesnot seem to realize that Miss Hunterreceived sufficient rebuke when the re-sults of the election were made known.It is now up to -Miss Hunter to decidefor herself whether, in the face ofthis unfavorable response to her de-sire for undergraduate offce, she willcontinue in such attempts, or willcease to do so. It is most assuredlynot for the editor of THE TECH tostate, as he has done in this patron-izing, head-patting editorial, whatMiss Hunter shall and shall not do.

It was a foregone conclusion thatMiss Hunter would not be elected. Itwas, in fact, most 'remarkable thatshe was nominated. But some mis-guided freshmen were so thoroughilyfrightened by this appearance of im-pending disaster that, feeling a needfor strong measures was at hand, anddriven to desperation, they plasteredthe bulletin boards of the Institutewith certain posters, the wording ofwhich will not and need not be re-peated here.

The state of mind of the editorwhen he dashed off the editorial inquestion was apparently a vrery closeapproximation to that enjoyed by thefreshmen to whom reference has justbeen made. "A girl engaging in In-istitute politics ! Preposterous ! Thinkof the degeneration involved if sucha calamity should take place ! We

That an -occasion for such a noticeshould occur at Technology indicatesa reprehensible state of affairs.

If theywere all gathered into one room wemight put up a sign, "TechnologySlums", lock the door of the room, andlet the matter drop. But we cannot dothat because we do not know our un--touchables. The most we can do to prevent the threatened discontinuanceof the newspaper service is to request,implore, and if necessary, demand,-that the untouchables redeem them--selves. If any person catches one red --handed he should force the fellow intohonesty or report him immediately.,The latter course cannot be objectedto as squealing. It is not squealing, it,is self-defense.

The untouchables, it has just been-brought to our notice, do not confine-their activities to the news stand.

It is with interest that we note thepredominance of men whose last namesbegin with letters in the very firstpart of the alphabet, on the governingboard of the freshman class.

The obvious reason for this, if wemay safely assume that the majorityof the class knows nothing concerningthe qualifications or personalities ofthe men for whom they are voting, isthat the likeliest looking nlame at thetop of the list will receive the prefer-ence.

Many bemoan this fact, especiallythose who, don't make the grade, andplace the onus of the responsibilityvariously. -However, it is not ourwish to condemn or scathe. But itdoes seem a minor shame that thegovernment of the incoming classshould be made in much the samemanner as alphabet soup.

The Lounger wishes to take thisoccasion to publicly congratulate thecommittee for the Investigation ofWalker Memorial Cafeteria. How-ever, one wonders if things aren't be-ing carried a little too far.

One of our very good friends hadthe occasion to go backstage for anextra bun. When he presented thisto the cashier, in order to negotiatethe transaction, the cashier seemed tohave a little difficulty in gauging thevalue of one bun. Seeing his dilem-ma, our friend presented a dime,thinking this would adequately coverthe legal price.

The cashier made mental calcula-tions, placed the dime in the drawer,picked a dime out of the drawer, andhanded same to friend with bun. Andthere you are. Perhaps it is just aswell the investigation has closed. Alittle more of that sort of thing andwe could draw down good salaries,just getting buns.

In spite of the above noted improve-ment, the meat we had the other nightcertainly had a decided tendoncy. Youknow, carves from contented cows.

IT'S A SHORT LONG TIMEMARCH 17 seems far in the distant future, but by our T.C.A.

Nblotter calendar we find that it is just 16 weeks from nextFriday. A long four months, you say, with Christmas vacationand mid-term examinations coming between now and then.Granted, it's a long time, but for those men engaged in the workof preparing for the Junior Prom it will be a short four months.The multitude of small details, the almost appalling number ofminor decisions that must be made, and the major plans and ar-rangements necessary will require more time than the committeenow realizes.

While the duties of offce and memory of their election arefresh ill their minds, the men on the committee should begin work.To hesitate at this time, to delay the beginning of work will meanthat starting will be much harder at the later date when activework does begin. True, no plans of a very detailed nature can bemade this early, but at least the general lines along which work isto proceed can be decided on at this time, and the apportioning ofwork among the various members of the committee can be done.This committee, to which the whole Institute is looking for a goodand successful Prom, will -find its long time short enough; itshould get under way at once.

LAME DUCKSWO weeks from today Congress convenes, and 144 men willbe representing constituents who have repudiated them in

favor of anlother. These men, 144 of them, 36 Democrats and 108Republicans, were defeated in the recent elections, but under therules according to which the game of politics is played they re-main in office. The public is coming to realize that a conditionwhich allows a representative to stay in office for months afterhe is defeated by another is not a healthy state of affairs, andsteps are being taken to correct it.

In the voting this fall the public has expressed itself as favor-ing certain policies. Whether the menl now serving as their repre-sentatives will vote for measures to carry out these policies ds amatter of some doubt. What is the attitude of the lame duckstowards prohibition, what will they do about foreign debts, whataction will they take regarding unemployment and credit relief?Will they follow the policies they supported in previous years orwill they vote as their successor would under the same conditions?In any event, having the castbaside lame ducks in Congress servesno useful purpose. Any move to hurry action toward having thenewly elected men take office at once merits approval.

SHALL THE FIRST BE FIRST?EN the recent class elections out of four class officers chosen

three of the names were placed first on the ballots. This factindicates a woeful lack of information concerning the candidateswho were running for office. Many, as they go to the polls, with-out knowing any of the candidates for an office, check the firstname that appears on the list. As the men become better ac-quainted the position on the ballot becomes of lesser importance,as shown by the fact that 'only five of the twenty-six men electedlast spring held the coveted position.

There are two remedies to the situation. Either draw lotsfor the best positions or let the candidates become better knownby allowing them to electioneer before the vote is taken. Thereare certain forms of electioneering~ which are undesirable, it istrue, bult in lieu of the fact that a certain amount goes on in spiteof the Institute Committee ruling of no electioneering, all shouldbe given the opportunity without having the removal of theirnames from the ballot hanging over their heads. There has beena growing sentiment in its favor for the past few years and lastspring the elections committee instituted the class election rally.This form of electioneering proved unpopular and the amendmentto the constitution to allow all forms of electioneering was de-feated. If only to prevent the first name on the ballot from beingelected electioneering should be allowed.

t prefers the variety which will un-doubtedly arise from the sentence lastquoted, well and good. Merely in the

iinterests of protecting the good name,of the Institute, of course.

By way of conclusion, the classicgem of the entire masterpiece may

!well be inserted. This reads: "Thelfair co-ed who dared (of all conceiv-.able expressions !) assail the bulwarksof masculine supremacy has been re-pulsed." And here, beautifully setforth, is the entire situation in a nut-shell. One can see 546 of our brawnyheroes straining every last effort tokeep Miss Hunter out of office. Boy,aren't they the brave and gloriousYuns, though?

Very truly yours,WILLIAM G. CRAGIN, '34.

Investigating CriticizedTo the Editor of THE TECH:

After reading the recent report ofthe Walker Investigating Committeein the Friday issue of THE TECH,we wish to make the following com-ments in refutation of some of thestatements.

Let it be explained first that weare both employed by the dining serv-ice and have eaten a great number ofour meals there for several years.We are quite well acquainted withboth the good and the bad points ofdining halls; in short, we feel com-petent to speak.

It is assumed that the main pur-pose of the Investigating Committeewas to determine the true consensusof student opinion as to the diningservice. If the report submitted bythis committee is as published in THETECH, the workd has been a miserablefailure for several reasons.

First, the percentage of studentsrecommending any change, makinganyone suggestion, or contributing anyparticular criticism was not includedin the report. Without knowing thebacking for the suggestions and criti-cisms, (for criticisms are suggestions,too), it is impossible to know the ma-jority thought. An idiosyncratic criti-cism by a biased individual is giventhe same weight as honest commentby a majority of the entire group.The conclusion is obvious.

Second, the report is not impartialbecause it does not even mention thoseparts of the Walker service whichmeet with favor among the students.We know definitely that numbers' ofstudents expressed themselves in thequestionnaire as being decidedly inFavor of a great deal of the presentservice at Walker. Such opinionswere not included in the report, as"hey should have been to give the?ntire picture of the majority's

thouhts.Partiality in a supposedlymprilreport cannot be tolerated.

Third, the report is impregnatedVith statements which are untrue anddeas which are extremely biased. In)ur judgment, 27 per cent of the sug-1,estions and 53 per cent of the criti-

Iven to the casual observer, glaringnisstatements are present. We can-ot help but take offense when per-ons place such assertions before theublic.Fourth, we believe that the commit-

ee report has been used as a vehicle

"Conquerors"

A prize-winner! "Conquerors" wimost certainly rank with the oulstanding pictures of the year. Acombination of good direction, powerful plot, and incomparable acting habeen effected to produce a masterpiecof the cinema art.

Ann Harding and Richard Dixfronted with the stupendous demandof the plot upon their acting, leavabsolutely nothing to be asked wherthey have finished. They are botlcalled upon to play dual roles, they arcboth required to portray youth, middleage, and, at last, old age. They doit all with splendid finesse.

The plot deals with a very timelysubject, considering the rise and falof the United States from the depthsof depression to the dizzy heights ofbloated prosperity and back again. Ilshows how the people follow the mar-ket each time expecting prosperity tostay for good, and then how with itsfall each time they lose their courageand decide that the country is comingto ruin. Through all this the storyportrays the life of the typical manof courage who is the instrument bywhich the country regains its balance.

Dix plays a bank clerk in love withAnn Harding, the daughter of hisemployer. The girl's father, who istroubled with ill health, dies during thepanic of 1837, when he finds he has lostall his possessions. The young couplego west to Nebraska where Dix aftermany hardships establishes a flourish-ing banking business. Time passes.A daughter is born, grows Up, andmarries a weak fellow who commitssuicide during the next depressionleaving Ann Harding, his wife, witha baby boy. Again the fight of time.RPichard Dix now plays. the part ofthe aged and experienced banker aswell as that of his g-randson.· Thetrash of 1929 has arrived, but the oldman is happy in the knowledge thathis grandson is undaunted and -willcarry on in spite of all.

FROSH RIFLE TEAMIHAS TURKEY MATCH

The freshman rifle team will holdits annual "Turkey Match" betweennow and December 2. This is a com-petitive match open to all the candi-dates for the yearling team. No prizeis to go to the winner, since the mainobject of the competition is to furnishan incentive for practice.

A target with five turkeys picturedon it is given to each competitor. Ineach of these pictures, along with theturkey, are two small pumpkins, thecurses of all the shooters, for if theyhit a pumpkin they lose two points.However if they hit a turkey in thehead, it is five points to their credit;if they hit the breast, they receivefour points; a hit in the midsectioncounts only two; and a shot anywhereelse is scored as a miss.

This match is being run in twoflights of sixteen competitors each. Inthe first flight are the sixteen menwho have thus far turned in the bestscores, and in the second flight are thesixteen next best men. As in a golfmatch, the eight winners in eachflight will then compete with eachother in the quarter final shoot; thewinning four in a semi-final; and fin-ally, two men in the final shoot todetermine the flight winner.

T. C. A. CabinetThe T. C. A. Cabinet will hold a

meeting Tuesday at 5 o'clock in theT. C. A. office in the basement of'Walker Memorial. A picture will betaken of the group after the session.

THE TECH

Basketball Teamlooks Strong As

Veterans ReportAll But Two Members of Last

Year's Varsity ReturnTo Institute

Technology's basketball team hasbeen practicing in the Hangar Gymfor some time now under the abletutelage of Coach Henry P. McCarthy,and the evidence seems to indicatethat Coach McCarthy will have an-other successful season to his credit.Many veterans have reported to date,including practically all those whocontributed to the great success oflast year, and there are a number ofvery able candidates for the few un-tertain positions.

The candidates for the various pos-itions include Obie O'Brien, Co-Cap-tain Fred Feustel, and Joe Fisher,forwards; Bob McIver, Red Steele,and Les Fitzgibbon, centers; and Co-Captain Adam Sysko, Pat Amenta,Joe Oldham, and Tom Shaughnessy,guards. The last three can also beused as forwards if the occasion de-mands. O'Brien, Feustel, and Syskowere the mainstays of the 1931-32team, while Amenta and Oldham sawplenty of service. Shaughnessy hasbeen one of the outstanding playersin the dormitory league for the lasttwo years, and Fisher and Fitzgibbonwere stars on last season's freshmanteam. McIver transferred from Prince-ton in 1'931 and was consequently in-eligible for his first year here. Thisyear, however, he is out for basketball,and he, along with Steele, last year'sjayvee captain, should be able to fillthe gap left by Captain Harry John-son's graduation.

First Game In Three WeeksThe first game for the varsity this

season is with the Newport Naval Ac-ademy and will be played in theHangar Gym on Saturday, December10. The rest of the schedule includesgames with such strong teams as Har-vard, Brown, Rhode Island State, andNew Hampsiire. The new opponentsare Amherst, Union, and ClarksonTech. The schedttle calls for tengames at home and two away; sincelast year's team was undefeated-onthe home court, t-tfiis considerablybrightens the team's outlook.

Freshmen llave'New Coach

The sizeable `squad of freshmenwhich has been turning out, is beingcoached by Sergeant H. FK McDon-nell of the Military Science..Depart-ment, who is taking the place of AlZollars. This arrangement givesCoach McCarthya chance to devotemore time to the varsity.

On Monday the freshmen practice-in the Walker Memorial gymnasium,while on Wednesday and Friday theypractice in the Hangar. The seasonopens here oniiDecember 10 against,Wentworth Institute, and other oppon-ents include R].I. State, New Hamp-shire, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Tuftsfreshmen, Tilton Academy, and Gov-ernor Dummer -Academy.
