Play- ing in Mecca Temple to a sizeable, en- thusiastic Manhattan audience, the en- '-ineers demonistrated that they could Co other things besides engineer.

Show Has Real Plot Characteriized by smooth acting, the 'setual plot of the musical comedy with its setting on an Arizona ranch and in Mexico. asas offered without any had brealks on the part of the cast. !The climax came at the close of the first act with lhe kidnappinv; of Peg MAurphy. the hard boiled 'Follies girl, by henchmen of Gonzales, the self-im- portant Mexican bandit. From comments heard after the per- formance, it was the general concen- suis of opinion that the singing and dancing were good and that the chorus was rarely ragged in their dance numbers. The audience in New York seemed to consider the performance an un- official alumni reunion, and there was considerable cheeril/g and singing by groups during the intermission. In fact, it might be termed a miniiature "Tech Riot" by one not familiar with the exuberant natume of Technology nmen. The New York performance had all the airs of a brilliant social func- tion. most of the audience being t,ressed as for the opera, and Mecca Temple itself was especially decorated for the affair. HARTFORD SHOW SUCCESS Hartford, Feb. 2, (Special to THE TUCXH). In their first performance of "West Is East" the members of Tech Show 1927 won honor for themselves and won over the Hartford anidfence to such an extent that the Show will be wvelcomle at any timle in the future. The production was enthusiastically received, but by an audience which was smaller than the play deserved. F7oot Giuard H-Tall. the scene of the Show's premiere. was about two :-h l(s fil'ed. bilt what was lacking in nu1m1bers was made uip in enthusiasm fry the stillelts.

Burton acting as manager of the Dormitory Fund Committee's cam- paign. Every expectation that the remain- ing $400,000 necessary to complete the quadrangle will be secured by June, is held by members of the committee. Of the $200,000 already in hand, half is the gift of Charles Hayden '90, while the other half comes from the Class of 1901. A contribution of an- other $100,000, from a source soon to ue announced, will permit with the other available money construction of t-wo units similar to the '93 dormitory unit, work to begin probably this spring. Tribute to the work of the Dormli- tory Fund Committee under the Chair- manship ofL Gototn James '10, was paid in a recent official statement by Dean Burton who took over the manager- ship of the committee last November. -Ie added that "the Alumni generally indorse the idea that the new Dor'ni- o:ries are the Institute's most urgent present need." Dr. Burton is at pres- ent engaged ina tour of the alumni clubs and individual alumni, being definitely assured of the success of the campaign. Due to his effective efforts, Dr. Bur- ton has been very instrumental in arousing the alumni over the country to the immediate need of dormitories. His pleas have so far been splendidly responded to and if present donations give any sign of the average increases in the fund, June should see the com- pletion of a successful campaign.

$200,000 Already Available,While Another $400,000

Forthcoming Soon

With $600,000 of the million dollarDormitory Quadrangle campaign prac-tically assured. a pressin-g need ofTechnology students gradually nearsactuality. $200,000 is already definite-

ly available while another $400,000will be forthcoming in the near future,

announces Former Dean Alfred E.Burton acting as manager of theDormitory Fund Committee's cam-paign.

Every expectation that the remain-ing $400,000 necessary to complete thequadrangle will be secured by June,

is held by members of the committee.Of the $200,000 already in hand, half

is the gift of Charles Hayden '90,while the other half comes from theClass of 1901. A contribution of an-other $100,000, from a source soon to

ue announced, will permit with the

other available money construction oft-wo units similar to the '93 dormitory

unit, work to begin probably thisspring.

Tribute to the work of the Dormli-tory Fund Committee under the Chair-

manship ofL Gototn James '10, was paidin a recent official statement by Dean

Burton who took over the manager-ship of the committee last November.-Ie added that "the Alumni generally

indorse the idea that the new Dor'ni-o:ries are the Institute's most urgent

present need." Dr. Burton is at pres-ent engaged in a tour of the alumniclubs and individual alumni, beingdefinitely assured of the success of thecampaign.

Due to his effective efforts, Dr. Bur-ton has been very instrumental inarousing the alumni over the countryto the immediate need of dormitories.

His pleas have so far been splendidlyresponded to and if present donationsgive any sign of the average increasesin the fund, June should see the com-pletion of a successful campaign.

Again the field of masculine sportwas invaded when Smith College re-

cently announced the organization of

what is believed to be the first crewin a woman's college. The sport is

under the direction of Miss KathleenGorman, the head .coach, and is fastbecoming one of the principal athletic o

actiiities of the !college. f Girls in aboth the junior and senior classes at 1

Smith have taken it up and are fast Ibecoming adept at using the oars.

A novel feature has been introducedin the shells and rowing machines, ]

that of pivoting the seats so that they Itip instead -of slide as the ordinaryequipment does. -The coach says that tthe purpose of this change is to en-

able the rowers to maintain a flat back

in-stead of rounded shoulders."We are not in any way attempting a

to ape the man," declared Miss Gor- i

man. "We use the same technique,

but that is all. Our method does not ]overdevelop the girls' muscles and give them that manish appearance. v

It does combine a general healthy ex-Eercise of all parts of the body with a

the pleasure of being .on the water and a

out of doors." I g

Already several contests have beenheld between the two upper classesand several more :have been arranged 1

for the coming spring. The method of

judging the crews and obtaining thebest working group is also an unusualone. The coxswains of the juniorcrews judge the senior boats and vice

versa for ,the third year crews.

"The training -in co-ordination isunsurpassed," said Miss Gorman, "andit also gives the girls who are notstrong enough to participate in stren-uous exercise a chance to go -out for

a sport and benefit by training in lead-ership through taking the position ol

coxswain."

AS WE SEE THE iMOVIES i

.METROPOLITAN

From a Technology student's view-point the biggest point of interest atthe Metropolitan this week is the ap-pearance of the Institute Glee Clubsinging the "Stein Song," "Going

Home," and "Take Me Back to Tech."Their appearance was very creditablein spite of the fact the orchestra

seemed at times to drown out thesinging especially on the final number.Although "Sorrows of Satan" has inits cast such artists as Adolphe Men-

jou, Ricardo Cortez, Carol Dempster,and Lya De Putti it is certainly not apicture which could be classed aseven average. The stage entertain-

ment includes "Chinese Jade" whichis quite up to the Metropolitan's stan-dard for lavish stage entertainment.It employs a wealth of very unusualstage settings and effects. The fea-ture of this act is a tumbling stuntby the "Six Pashas."

FENWAY

The Ki:! Brio.lher-with Harold Lloyd.A Regular Scout--with Fred Thomp-

son.

Funniier even than "Tie Freshman,""G-randma's Boy," "Girl Shy," is' thislatest picture starring Harold Lloyd

wvhich is now in its second week at'Lha Fenway. Although the picture con-sIsts of a lot of the regular slapstick?,ennedy wlhich would be dead and un-

nteresting in the average comedy, the'nlmitable Harold performs in a man-

her which is not only refreshing butuproariously ludicrous.

A Regular Scout would have beenconsidered a good picture about tenyears ago in the days when banditsand Indians held sway but in the pres-ent day regime of Beau Geste and TheBig Paradee it is decidedly below the

average. However, the feature pic-ture more than makes up for this de-

ficiency.

THE OPEN FORUM

To the Editor of The Tech:

I certainly had two busy, enjoyableand satisfactory days in Detroit Mon-day and 'Tuesday.I utilized the daylight portions mak-ing calls on the various alumni and

some of the school officials, but dueto the fact that the second term was

just starting in the schools I was un-able to address any high school groups.

Monday evening we had a fine din-ner meeting of the Detroit TechnologyAssociation at the University Club inDetroit with thirty four alumni pres-

ent. I spoke on new developments at

"WEST IS EAST"

FROM the enthusiastic receptions which the 1927 Tech Show en-

joyed in both Hartford and New York City it is evident that this

year's production has achieved a certain success. Itdash which gets its enthusiasm across the footlights.

has life andThe Mexican

setting and atmosphere lends itself remarkably well to our engineer-

ing type of dramatics-this fact is easily brought to mind by com-

parison to the settings of the more recent Show productions.

Throughout the acts the scenes and costumes are very colorful

and of changing interest. They are unusual enough to keep the

audience interested. The song hits featuring "Ride 'Em Cowboy"

work in very nicely and have that necessary swing and spirit to

carry the plot along. Undoubtedly "West Is East" is a production

which can be. classed above average in the history of TechnologyShows.

At the performance in Foot Guard Hall in Hartford the audi-

ence only filled the Hall to about two-thirds capacity and in New

York only one performance was given. This is our greatest ground

for criticism. Tech Show is not intended to be a profit making enter-

prise and in experience it has proven not to be. It does furnish

a very necessary and desirable connection between the undergradu-

ates and those Alumni who attend the performances. This is prob-

ably the most important contribution which the Show makes to Tech-

nology and it is a very important one because it so readily develops

a better spirit of interest among our graduates. These facts need

no further proof than that afforded by an out-of-town attendance

at a show performance. Why, then, is it not possible to give more

of the Alumni a chance to appreciate our dramatic effortsl?

"West Is East "is booked to appear at a total of only six per-

formances this year before the final curtain at the last appearance in

Northampton. Three of these appearances are here in Boston where

there is less need of Alumni contact than elsewhere due to the prox-

imity of the Institute itself and its activities. We are not in favor

of reducing the number of Boston performancess because they also

serve the undergraduates and are well attended, but certainly it

ought to be possible to give as creditable a Show as the 1927 1vrodu¢-

tion a considerably broader itinerary which would in addition better

reward the performers for the great amount of effort which they haveexpended.

Paul Harrington, who is a graduatestudent at Technology, national pole

vault champion, has been going greatin his specialty lately. In the Mill-rose A. A. games last week he set anew world indoor record by reachinga height of 13 feet 1 1-8 inches. In the

B. A. A. games Saturday he placedthird to Sabin Carr and Laddy Myerswhen the Yale man cleared the barat 13 feet 7 1-8 inches.

In the first match of the season theBeaver boxing team was decisivelyoutpointed by the Naval Academy 7-0,at Annapolis, three of the bouts end-ing by the knockout route and four bythe judge's decision. The Navy hadan unusually strong squad and showedto good advantage against the Cam-bridge boys.

The weeks folowing were spent in the New JerseTerritory of the Company where ouside plant construction was followeifrom the time the estimate was prepared by the Plant Engineer, subwaand pole lines completed, the cablplaced and spliced, to when it watested and put in service.

The uses of time and labor-savinmachinery proved very interestingFor example, there was the automatipole hole digger, which is capable odigging a hole in four minutes, as conpared with the three hours taken tperform the operation manually. Itakes the place of forty men.

At present the men are working iivarious central offices in New Yorklearning the many phases of "insidework, from the connecting of new teephone lines on the main frame to thclearing of troubles developed in thswitchboard circuits.

In the January 21 issue of THITECH the names of Gerald F. Palme'29 and Arthur C. Pforzheimer'29 wer(omitted in the list of elections to theAssociate Board of Volume XLVII oTHE TECH. The former was promoted to the position of CirculatioiManger while the latter has been elected Treasurer.

Men in the new Bell System optionof Course VI-A-find the work assignedin the New York Telephone Companyto be of especial interest. Lifting ca-ble from the bed of the Arthur KillRiver at Carteret to repair the im-portant "A" cable to Philadelphia;"riding the strand" twenty to fortyfeet above the street by means of atiny cable car to find where destruc-tive moisture had entered a cable;erecting pole lines; maintaining thecomplicated communication system ofdowntown New York; these are typi-cal examples of the work participated

.in by this group of Institute men.This option is considered to be of

,equal value as a power transmissioncourse. The first group of men en-tered into training with the New YorkTelephone Company last September,and since then have spent an allotedamount of time with practically everydepartment in the company, from un-derground cable placing to clearingtrouble as an inside man in a CentralOffice.

While with the installation and re-pair departments, the students had an-opportunity to observe the financialmachinery of the world's money cen-ter and later to study the home life

FIRST IS NEXT

Plans have been practically com-pleted for a series of talks by men se-cured by the Technology Christian As-sociation. Three outstanding menwill give lectures in room 10-250 at 4o'clock on February 21, 23 and 24,March 17 and 18, and April 6 and 7.There will be forums with talks byother noted men every week 'in be-tween these lectures at 4 o'clock in theFaculty Dining Room.

First in the series is Professor Clar-ence Skinner of Tufts, president ofthe Community Church of Boston,who will talk on "Superstition, Belief,{and Faith" in the Faculty DiningRoom next Tuesday. For the 21, 23and 24 of the month the Hon. J. StittWilson, lecturer and publicist, hasbeen secured; he will speak on the"Problems of Modern Education."

Although there will be speakers onMarch 1 and March 8, arrangementsfor those dates are still indefinite,and will be announced later. Profes-sor Henry H. Tweedy of Yale, whogave a series of lectures here last -yearand was enthusiastically received, willappear on March 17 and 18., His sub-jects have been announced as "AScientist's Faith and the AncientCreeds," "Who is Jesus and What CanHe Do For Me?," and "Religion andthe Problem of Money."

Dr. Kurtley F. Mather, associateprofessor of Physiography at Harvardand Scientific witness of the famousScopes trial in Tennessee, will be hereMarch 22. A week later Dr. BrewerEddy, brother of Sherwood Eddy, whospoke here this fall, will conduct an-other of the forums.

On April 6 and 7 the Reverend Rich-ard Roberts, author and lecturer, andoften called the "Fosdick of Canada,"will be the guest of honor. The serieswill close on April 12 with the appear-ance of Mr. Hubert C. Herring, lectur-er, who has studied all the aspects ofMexico for the last few years.

Announcement of this series will besent out by the T. C. A. to all students."he work has been in charge of John

C. Trahey '29, who is head of the Meet-ings Division of the T. C. A.

to but this situation was no doubt due toit the fact that no dancing followed the

Show.n Blackbottom Populark, In Hartford, the Blackbottom num" ber of the chorus seemed to be the1- most popular with the audience, wittLe Glantzberg's rope tricks also beingLe well received. ,ne Charleston number

proved to be an excellent example olfast stepping, with the men taking tothe steps with ease.

Many of the humorous lines in theShow were of much interest to students and recent graduates, bul

rseemed to be quite unintelligible tce the women and outsiders in the audie ence. Such jokes relating to thef phrase, "Would You Believe It, I--,':)- or to professors wearing sneakers orn to an officer of administration knownt- as "Uncle Horace" will be very pop

ular at the Boston performances inApril, but are apparently not fully ap-preciated by those not in the know.Some of the jokes refer to the "gen-eral disturbance" last November, andthese were understood by most of theaudience, whether alumni or outsidersdue to the power of the press.

Costumes Very StrikingSnappy costumes of the chorus

proved popular with the audience, thecostumes in the Blackbottom act be-ing worthy' of the Follies, in regardto the area of skin exposed, but thegreat muscular development made vis-ible was so incongruous that the au-dience was moved to considerablelaughter. Full advantage was takenof the Spanish and Western settingof the plot to produce colorful cos-tumes, those in the feature, "I CarryA Knife," being excellent examples ofpure Spanish motif. Senor Gonzales,the Mexican villain, is well costumedFor the part, as are his henchmen, andwith a clever assumption of brokenEnglish, proved to be very realistic.

Show Has Good SingerRand B. Jones '28, in the part of

Peg Murphy, the Follies girl, bore theburden of the acting in the femaleroles, and won the favorable commentof many. Curtiss S. McCune '29, asHarry Price, the Beacon Hill aristo-crat, and Samuel H. Evans G. as BuckArmstrong, a broken-hearted embryoengineer, bore the burden of the act-ing in the male roles. Evans wasparticularly commented upon for hisexcellent singing voice, although somein the rear of the hall stated that theycould not fully appreciate his tone, asEvans stressed quality rather thanquantity in his rendition.

Dorothy Rutledge, played by RichardJ. Street '30, caused much amusementto the Hartford audience when "she"'nearly wrecked the scenery during aparticularly sentimental love ballad."Tell Me That You Love Me In TheSame Old Way." John H. Booth Jr.'29 as Scraps, the East Side New York-er, who is always getting fired, -vasextremely realistic in his part, and re-ceived many laughs as a reward forhis antics.

Four More PerformancesVictor Martin '30 as Mrs. Newcomb,

Richard Goble '28 as Draper, the slickconfidence man, both assisted capa-bly in the plot. The cast was coachedby Carl Scranton, while the choruswas under the tutelage of Langdon.Mathews. The orchestra renderedgood assistance to the players, andwas under the direction of CharlesYoung.

Tech Show will appear again inApril, giving the usual three perform-ances in Boston during Junior Week,and also one performance in North-ampton, as is also the usual custom.

As the result of a desire of "Eddie"Piing's to furnish radio broadcast notonly in the pool room but also in theMain Dining Hall and possibly in theLounge Rooms, work was begun at theconclusion of last term on the installa-tion of a high power radio set andtesting the acoustic properties of theMain Hall with a three foot WesternElectric cone type loud speaker and apower amplifier which was assembled~y Professor Edward L.- Bowles.

The original idea of handling radiobroadcast has been superceded by theultimate aim of using the loud speak-ers only for making available in theMain Hall the music from the Ortho-phonic Victrola, and from concertswhich are given at Technology fromtime to time and also to handle com-mencement exercises and otherspeeches.

The results of testing the acousticqualities of the Main Dining Roomshow that they are very poor. Anysounds made are reflected so readilyby the bare walls of the room that thereverberations become almost deafen-ing. Professor Bowles feels that theacoustics and the beauty of the roomcan be improved by the proper hang-ing of muffing draperies. It is intend-ed to locate two of the three footWestern Electric loud speakers in theDining Hall, use one in one of thesmaller rooms, and use yet another asa pilot for the operator.
