Dog Sleeps With Froshin Mathematics Class

Unnoticed by Mr. Raymond D.Douglass a German police dogfollowed the example of the restof the students and fell asleepin the back of a class in M12.About the middle of the hour thehound was awakened and coaxedto go up to the front of theroom. He stood before the classadmiring the speed at which theinstructor was integrating log-arithmic functions. He grew sodisgusted that he moistened thefloor since he was being instruc-ted in "natural functions," andthen resumed a dormant positionuntil the class was dismissed.

Roaming joyfully among themurky debris left in the wakeof the Filter Paper, the Loungerpicked up a ripe assortment ofcomments from the exposed ad-dicts of drink, women or merelymemories of Mother.. Heh heh-

GREE NEBill Greene heads the list with

a typical Greenian comment."And the hell of it is, it's alltrue," says Bill.

DOUGLASS"The Faculty should consider

itself lucky to get off so easyin there now," said First RateDouglass with a sigh of relief. "Itwas a good issue, but not nearlyas raw as its predecessors'.'

PASSANOAnother mathematician heard

from; in the words of L. MagruderPassano, "My interest in the matter is smaller than any value youchoose to assign, however small.In fact, I don't give a damn eitherway."

MAJOR SM!dITHMajor Smith cracks liberally

that "The bovs must have theirfun". And this mild dribble froma Major!

DRISKOThe Lounger leaves the mean-

ing to his readers when PopDrisko says that "It seems to getdeeper every year".

BALSBAUGHAnd now for a big repudiation

from the outraged Balsbaugh. "Ican't possibly account for thesituation as presented; it musthave been two other people". Thislatter quip seems vaguely fami-liar, somehow; and somehow theLounger is wondering a little asto just how the situation shouldhave been presented.

MILLERPop Valve Miller thinks that

"The boys had some fun and en-joyed it.. I enjoyed it myself".

PEARSONMolly Pearson has really been

too busy to read this weed in thefield of journalism, according tohints dropped by Molly Pearson.

HUDSONTriple E Hudson is broken up

over this, for yesterday he wishedoh so earnestly that his wardswould disclose their troubles inperson instead of behind a screenof yellow anonymity.

SMALLER FILTRATE

WILLIAMSGordon Williams, chief stoker

aboard the Kappa Sig steam rol-ler, warns the world that "Steamrollers multiply, just like cats andwhite mice. Beware of myprogeny".. Oh you G75!

GLENNBelieve it or not, Earl Glenn is

all in favor of more humor andless dirt.

HAMILTONHugh Hamilton, head of the

Apartment Research Committeeof the T. C. A., responds to in-quiries with a truly harmless andtotally unconvincing verse fromG. WV. Carryl:'"I blush to add that when the birdTook in the situation,He said one brief emphatic wordUnfit for publication".Aw hell-Some day the Loun-

ger's going to slip a pair of potcovers under his shirt, do hisdamnest to talk falsetto and justbeg Hughie to tell all about thatancient King of England as onlyHugh can salaciate. (Damn goodword, that.)

DISCRETION CLUBAmong the Discretion Club are

listed Atkinson, Woolman, VirgieMcDaniels, Glazebrook and Jew-ett, and the Lounger knows a fewothers too, all of whom "havenothing to say".

Ho hum.. All the insult Loungergot was a feeble bunch ofplagiarism; and if any of youimaginators ever thought that theLounger was any kin of theScrounger . . oh well, why notjoin the Paresis Club?

And now foractivity heads,heads, and just

our associates,-fatheads, sore-

plain deadheads.

KARASOs Karas, big little mouthpiece

of our Varsity navigators, hasoiled up the old horse pistol andis out for somebody's blood, he'snot quite sure whose.

HALLAHANTrackster H1allahan reports that

he's sending an issue home toMamma; and if you think theLounger's a liar, ask John T.

HILLSPerhaps this was broadcasted

for publicity purposes, perhapsit's just the exudations of oneholy in spirit and careful of hisflock; be it as it may, "We Deltsuse good floor was, anyway, byGod", bombasted Fisher Hills.

Leo Reisman's Orchestra to Playat First Social Affair

of Class of '32

Friday evening marks the officialentrance of the -Class of '32 into thesocial life of Technology. TheFreshman Dance is to be held in thePrincess Room of Hotel Somerset. Itpromises even to rival 'the JuniorProm, Technology's main social event,in not only having Leo Reisman's Or-chestra furnish the dance music outalso in having its own prom girl. MissDoris Vinton, popular star of"Luckee Girl," the new musical com-edy, just opened at the Shubert ApolloTheater, will be present as the guestof honor.

Miss Vinton will make her appear-ance after the performance escortedbcy a member of the Dance Committee.Effort is being made to persuade thestar to entertain with a few num-bers from the show. The show is anadaption from the French with musicby the composer of "My Man," whichshould make any selections Miss Vin-ton chooses to give well worth hear-ing-and seeing.

The offer previously made by theDance Committee to provide feminineaccompaniment still holds. Applica-tion, however, should be made at onceas the supply is not inexhaustible,despite the new sources which havebeen discovered.

Tickets are on sale in the MainLobby and can also be procured frommembers of the Dance Committee. Thenumber is to be limited and freshmenare advised not to wait until the lastminute since they may be disappoint-ed.

Telephone CableManufacture Is

To Be DiscussedMessrs. Shea and Hart Will Lead

Electrical Engineer'sColloquium

"Manufacturing Problems Arisingin the Production of Telephone Cable,"is the subject of a colloquium to bepresented through the courtesy of theAmerican Telephone and TelegraphCompany in Room 10-275, on Mondayand Tuesday, April 8 and 9. The dis-cussion will be held from three tofive o'clock and mill be conducted by.Ir. J. R. Shea and Mr. C. D. Hartof the Kearny Works of the WesternElectric Company.

Members of the instructing staff,Sraduate and senior students, and theJunior Honor Group who are interest-ed in the subject are invited to attend.On account of the manner in whichthe topic will be presented, it is ex-Pected that those who attend will bepresent at both sessions. A syllabusfor this colloquium will be posted onthe Electrical Engineering departmentbulletin boards.

Messrs. Shea and Hart will discussthe developments in cable design dur-ing the past twenty-five years and willillustrate the problems which eachsucceeding change in design hascaused. The enormous growth of theTelephone Company system and theincreasing use of telephone cable bothin local and toll plants, has paved the'way for intensive improvement in thecable manufacturing methods. Thiscolloquium will deal with the types ofproblems which have had to be solvedin order that the manufacturing com-Pany might produce the enormousquantity of cable required by thepresent day installation needs. Manyof the problems to he spoken of haveapplications to fields other than cable-manufacture and thus may prove to beof interest to a larger group.

Provisional Recognition CivenLacrosse Team But Not

Squash Team

At a lengthy meeting of the Ad-visory Council on Athletics held atthe Engineers' Club last night, morethan 60 athletic awards were made.In addition, two Institute records wereaccepted and one was rejected.Provisional recognition was given tothe lacrosse team, while recognitionof the squash team was withheld ona technicality. The 400 yard relayrecord made by Edward H. Mackay'31 was approved and accepted, as was'also the 200 yard breast stroke recordof Emmanuel I. Birnbaum '30. The150 yard back stroke record made byLawrence D. Luey '29 was not allowed,inasmuch as the previous record hadbeen lowered only one-tenth of asecond.

The petition of the lacrosse teamfor recognition was submitted to the: Advisory Council before being ap-I proved by the Executive Council ofthe M. I. T. A. A., and in the usualcourse of events recognition would bewithheld until such review was made.However in view of the fact thatseveral games have been scheduledfor the lacrosse team in the nearfuture, it was voted to grant pro-visional recognition to this Sport,pending action by the ExecutiveCouncil.

A somewhat similar situationexisted in the case of the squashteam, which also petitioned forrecognition, inasmuch as the applica-tion had not been reviewed by theExecutive Council. However, as nogames were scheduled in the very nearfuture, it was voted to withhold theIrecognition of the Advisory Counciluntil the case shall have been approvedby the Executive Council of theM. I. T. A. A.

It ivas stated that individual cupswould be given to those who madenear records in swimming events,while medals of uniform design wouldbe given relay contestants.

iAs We See the Movies}

THE FEN{WAYAt last, we've seen a good talkie !

This is not advertising copy-it's afact! "Close Harmony," the featureDffering at the Fenway at this timehas everything which most criticizedtalkies lack,-and a great deal more aswell. In the first place, the repro-duction is good-Nancy Carroll singsseveral good numbers, Jack Oakie andSkeets Gallagher put on an inimfitable,"song and dance act," both on and offstage, the selections by the orchestraare as realistic as the genuine articleand the incidental music is pleasing.The acting is fine, and the plot inter-esting.

The picture was accurately adaptedfrom the stories by Elsie Janis andGene Markey which have delighted"Saturday Evening Post" readers forthe past two years. Both these~writers know vaudeville intimately,Iand the back stage life on the ""bigtime" which the picture portrays giveit a thoroughly authe~ntic ring'.

From the time the story opens witha nocturnal practice session of AlWest's jazz band, the action is humanand dramatic. Al West, as played byBuddy Rogers, is the young go-getter,trying to land a day time position invaudeville and a full timhe job withthe beautiful star, the part adequate-ly performed by Miss C~arroll. Hegets them both, but not without manyaltercations with the manager andmuch competition from Barney andBay, typical "Harmony Boys."

Harry Green gives a capital charac-terization as the Jewish manager,and more clever humor is supplied byOakie and Gallagher, the harmonyduo. But with'all its humor, the pic-ture is as true to life throughout itswhole sequence as anything we haveseen in a long time.

"Close Harmony" is full of goodclean fun, harmonious music and act-ing par excellence. You'll be sure toenjoy it immensely.

LOEW'S STATEA picture that is less of a movie

and more of a musical play than any-thing 'the average student has yetseen is the present bill at Loew'sState Theatre. "The BroadwayMelody" is interesting especially forit technique and splendor, althoughthe entire show is above average.

Charles King, for mer star of "Hitthe Deck", has a fine voice, makinghim well fitted f or the part of a sing-ing playwright. The plot is the oldone about the young girl supposedlygetting led astray by the last theatercrowd, but since this picture worksin a good part of one of a g'orgeousreview such repetition does not makethe interest drag. Indeed, when soundpictures are combined with coloredfilms, there is little difference. in effectbetween the movie and the real thing.

Anita Page, as the younger of twosister vaudevilliennes is beautifulenough to watch in any show. Shecomes to New York with her elder

I sister to show their act. With the aidof Charles King, both of them "make"a big review but Anita's beauty bringsher larger portion of acclaim. Kingand Bessie Love wcho plays if 'nita'ssister are about engaged, but thatdoes not prevent Charlie from fallingin lovre with Anita and her inevitablesurrender. Out of loyalty to hersister Anita tries to fool Charlie byrunning around with a big "Stage-Door Johnnie", but in the end hersister sees through the puzzle, andthe other two get married after manystruggles. Bessie Love does the bestacting of the three, and one cannothelp but feel sorry for the girl whcgets all the bad luck just because shEis not the prettiest, and wants heisister to be happy. As a direct opinion

BLIND BOSTONIANS

WHEILE most of us in our years at Technology have never par-1IFtaken on the proverbial Saturday night of that old New Eng-

land dish which has made Boston famous elsewhere, -neither havewe bothered to visit the many spots of historical interest for whichthis part of the country has a world-wide reputation. We haveglimpsed the hqniely Bunker Hill monument as we walked acrossthe bridge, and we have probably seen the Art Museum (thoughwe may not have recognized it) while driving along the Fenlway.But who among us has taken the trouble to spend time in theseplaces, or to go to Symphony Hall for more than an infrequentconcert, or who but reviles the "rubber-neck wagons" in whichhistoric tours are made ?

That "A prophet is not without honor, s ave in his own coun-try"e is the truth, no one denies. "Distance lends enchantment",:and we who are right here on the around refuse to be impressedwith what is close by. This lack of interest may be explained bya lack of time, rather than any particular abhorrence of the Insti-tute men for subjects such as music, art, history and literature.The trouble is that few of us, when we have some spare time, careto conduct investigations along these lines.

Out-of-town students, at the close of examinations, are tooanxious to get away to vacation pleasures to pause for intellectualsight-seeing, and those who live here think that there is no hurryabout seeing things that have always been here and always willbe. When, however, it is realized that every summer there arethousands of visitors in Boston with one single object and that"to see the town", the thought is provoked that perhaps there issomne knowledge here aside from technical that is 'worth the con-quest.

It is also true that most Technology students are here butIfor one reason-to study. Yet study can be applied to more thanjust technical subjects and it should be. Very often a man's en-tire career is made by knowledge in no way connected with his"bread and butter" course. Napoleon once said that a man whoknows two languages is worth two.men; he could have added thata man navho knows twno subjects is worth two men.

Most men here dislike the reputation they have gained-thatof being merely staid technicians, inter ested only in mattersscientific. If this "shoe" does not -fit, why is there 'not some sortof active effort to showe Boston to Technolo- ? With so manyfeatures of fascinating interest right at our doors, it is a shamethat most students, after more than thirty-six months of living,in the cultural center of the world, can boast of visiting nothing,;

mo-imposing than theatres, movies, and night clubs.

LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE

NEARLY two thousand years ago, Marcus Aurelius made a littlenote in his diary to the effect that never, having engaged to

do a thin-, would he give as an excuse that he had not found time.Marcus Aurelius weas a man of courage and morals, and by heed-ing the little ideals that he set for himself, he made himself great.Today as then everyone is in the habit of putting off the dutiesthat he has undertaken. Students let their work slide, declaringthat they lack timde, men wcho have been delegated to perform somecivic service, instead of refusin- to do it in the first place, acceptand then neglect to perform- it.

Such slovenly habits are indicative of weakness of character.Every time a student puts off his work until the wseek-end, he isbreaking down his moral fiber. Strength does not consist of un-dertakinlg heroic tasks, but of performing creditably those thathe can do. It is not only in the scholastic line that the student fallsdcwn, for everyone in school is given little tasks that must be per-formed. And nearly everyone neglects these tasks until he iscalled to account.

The tr ue test of a man of value is whether or -not he performspromptly and efficiently the little duties that come to his lot. Engi-neers are prone to forget this, and though they may be all-power-ful in one direction, they are pitifully dependent on others forguidance in matters of comparative simplicity. It is thus impor-tant for us to heed well the words of Marcus Aurelius, and whilewe are striving for a great purpose, keep in mind that the smallerdetails are not to be neglected.

New Two Mile Route Will TaksePlace of Shorter Ones

Formerly Used

Due to the opening of the new Cot-tage Far ' Bridge, a longer racecourse has been made available forthe crew races to be held on theCharles this season. The new courseto be laid out by Harvard and Tech-nology surveyors will extend from theBraves Field to the Union Boat Club,covering approximately two miles.

This course will take the place ofa n ile and three quarters course ex-tending from St. Mary's Bridge tothe West Boston Bridge. This hasbeen the official race course for theInstitute and Harvard crews for overten years, but since the constructionof the new Cottage Farm Bridge alonger course has been possible, andthe surveyors expect to be able tolengthen the present one by a quarterof a mile.

Improvement in New RoutePrevious to the construction of the

St. Mary's Bridge, the crews rowedover a mile and seven-eigths coursestarting at the old Cottage FarmBridge which also ended at the W~estBoston thoroughfare. This newcourse will be a distinct improvementover the old, which was shorter thanmost collegiate courses, as it will callfor more endurance, a need which hasalways been lacking in the presentmile and three quarter run.

SIGMA NU CAGERSIDEFEAT PHI KAPPA

Interfraternity basketball got intoaction again last night when the Sig-ma Nu team crushed the Phi Kappafive taking the lead at the start. Atthe end of the half Sigma Nu led 12to 6. This lead was increased to 22 to|8 by the end of the game. The highXscorers for Sigma Nu were Lawton,Merchant and Weddle. Riley, Har-rington and McKenna starred for thePhi Kappa team.

the w ater under the steady pull ofexperienced oarsmen. This is a thrillin watching the crews race that is notfurnished by most athletic contests. Itis a grueling sport, for men whohave bodies that will stand up underthe strain of a race that taxes everyounce of their power. It is the smoothrhythm that adds the fascination tothis sport, and its "popularity isdeserved".

A propos to the poularity of crewand the number of men it attracts,it is well to observe the great extentto which the coach and his assistantshave effected the success of this spoIt.A coach+7nwho can hold the men and

Imake the worst drudgery a pleasure,Isolely through his owvn personality andappeal to their masculine natures, isthe greatest asset that a team can|have. The Institute is fortunate inIIhaving several such men at its serviceIIin the different departments of athle-|tics. They are doing the work because Iit is the thing they like to do aboveI|everything else. Hiere, more than atimost schools the spirit of com-Imercialism that has been so much!frowned upon is entirely lacking.

At present sports are very inactiveat the Institute as far as actual com-petit-on is concerned. The month ofMarch saw the successful completionof the season for several of the mostactive athletic activities, and thingsare riding along now on the lullbetween the winter and the springsport seasons. This does not meanthat there is a lack of interest, how-ever, for the interest at this timeis perhaps greater than at any otherperiod of the year. Crew and trackmen are devoting their whole-heartedefforts to the spring work, and themajority of the eyes of the sportfans are turned in their direction.

Among the minor sports lacrosseis attracting a great deal of noticebecause of its novelty to the studentsat M.I.T. This is not the only reasonfor the poularity of the game by anymeans, as the number of men who'report at daily practice indicates.Tennis will soon be under way, anda full season is planned by the manag-ing staff. The Institute courts arePopular at present, and they are allin use at nearly every hour of theday.

|The soccer team seems to be faring'well in its spring work, though ithas been severely handicapped -by thediversion of its former stars to otherfields under the pressure of extra-curricula activities which limit theirtime to be devoted to athletics. Theteam practices regularly and theprospects for a good team are brighter ievery day.

The manner in which the rifle teamris cleaning up in the collegiate wiringSIs very commendable to themselvesand to their excellent instruction inthe skillful handling of the firearms.they now -stand at the head of the list|in New England, with a chance ofcapturing the Eastern title.

It is a treat at this time of theIYear to stand on Harvard bridge and| atch the crews as they glide through

NORWICH U. IS RUNNER-UP

By defeating Norwich University1356 to 1312 during the past week,the Technology rifle team has clinchedthe New England Intercollegiatechampionship for the second time insuccession. The shooting of the teamthis year places it in a class by itselfas far as New England is concerned,for the team has won each of its sixN. R. A. New England matches bydecisive scores, averaging about 1350to its opponents's 1250, -and has setthe season's record for New Englandwith a score of 1367. Norwich Uni-versity placed second to M.I.T., withfour victories and two defeats.

N. R. A. Match on April 13Only two more matches will be fired

this year, these two being the HearstTrophy match, which will be fired next

j week, and the N. R. A. Intercol-legiates, which will be fired at Com-monwealth Armory on April 13. N.R. A. matches will be held in othersections of the country on the samedate. The team finishing first amongthe entrants at the Armory on April13 will be the Eastern champion; theteam having the high score through-out the country will be the Nationalchampion. It is considered that theM.I.T. team has a fair chance of win-ning the Eastern championship, butthe chances of winning the Nationalare very slim. Navy is entered in theSouthern section, and unless it shootsbelow its usual form, will turn in thebest -score in the country.

Teams Not Yet ChosenThe personnel of the Hearst and the

N. R. A. Intercollegiate teams has notyet been picked. The Hearst team islimited to R. O. T. C. members, andis a five-man team. The N. R. A.team is also a five-man team, but notnecessarily limited to R. O T. C.members. Eliminations will be heldthis week to decide who fires on theHearst team, and probably moreeliminations will be held next week:to decide on the N. Rt. A. team.

INTERCOI EGIATE

According to "College Humor", theUniversity of Pennsylvania used tohave a tradition known as the "row-botham". This originated with acertain student named Rowbothamwho was awakened in the wee hoursby the stentorian supplications of abibulous roommate of feline habits,urging him to "throw down the key".The enraged student threw everythingmoveable out of the window in thegeneral direction of the offendingsound. Until the practice was stoppedby drastic measures on the part ofthe college authorities, a cry of "Yo,Rowbotham" was sufficient to bringabout a wholesale reenaction of thisincident.

Out of 88 fraternity houses on thecampus of the University of Illinois,an investigation conducted by theDaily Illinois showed all but 20 ofthose fraternities repose behind un-locked doors.

the outside. The inner disc has threeconcentric circles. The outer one hason it the days of the month, by num-ber, the middle one has the numbersof the months, and the inner one hasthe numbers of the centuries.

To operate this calendar is muchmore simple than to explain its theory.The last two numbers in the year arecounted off around the base, and theplug inserted in the hole. The samenumber is then divided by four, andneglecting the remainder this numberis also counted off with the peg. Thenthe number of the month is set oppo-site the plug, and opposite the numberof the day is the name of the day. Fora different century one more adjust- Iment of the plug is necessary.

By means of a relatively simple in-tegral the whole theory of themechanism can be explained, and theboard merely puts the solution into aform that anyone can operate. It isplanned to display the board on OpenHouse Day for the edification of thevisitors as to some of the many won-ders that can be accomplished in thefield of mathematics.

Hydraulic Expeinmentation Dr.Wednesday, April 3, 2 P.M.,

Although few students see the bene-fits that are to be gained in the studyof abstract mathematics, it is occa-sionally forcibly demonstrated to themthat the calculus serves a useful pur-pose. One of the students has recent-ly developed by its aid a perpetualcalendar, by the aid of which, giventhe date. anyone can find the day bfthe week in a few seconds.

Such a proposition is harder thanit would seem, for multitudinous fac-tors influence the corrections of suchan instrument. In the first place, thelimiting date of the calendar is theyear 1587, when the present systemof accounting for dates was adopted.The other end of the calendar is un-limited, and indeed the graduationslead up to the year 2300 A.D. and canbe takesn further by anyone. The prob-lem of leap-year is difficult of solu-tion, for the rule for leap-year is thatevery year exactly divisible by fouris a leap-year, with the exception ofthose years exactly divisible by onehundred. These in -(-urn are not allregular years, for those divisible byfour hundred are leap-years. Besidesthis there is the problem of the month,since the months have varying num-bers of days.

With a handful of integrals, then,the industrious stuident set himself towork. Numerous simplifications weremade, and he finally arrived at a con-clusion that one disc and a peg wouldsuffice to make the calendar. Ac-cordingly the Institute carpenter shopwas given the task, and soon paintedfigures graced the white pine, herald-ing the advance of science.

The apparatus is simply a largeround disc with a knob in the centerby -which to turn it. This is mountedon another disc, which has fcour holesat regular intervals around its cir-eumference. A small brass peg is in-serted in one of these holes. On theoutside disc the days of the week aregiven, with Friday on the top. Thereare also numbers, one to seven, around,

Dr. Ing. Theodor Rehbock, Professor of Hydraulics at the TechnischeHochschule of Karlsruhe, Germany, will give the seventh lecture in the serieson "Hydraulic Experimentation."

GERMAN EDUCATIONALMETHODS DISCUSSED

Faculty Club Hears Address byDr. Werner Heisenberg

D:r. Werner Heisenberg, Director ofthe Institute of Theoretical Physics'of the University of Leipzig, was theprincipal speaker at the luncheonmeeting of the Faculty Club held yes-terday noon in the Faculty Diningbloom at Walker. His subject was"Technical Education in Germany"and he gave a complete account ofGerman university methods. He ez--plained how the students, during thefirst few years in advanced schoolsare handled in large groups of fromone to six hundred, thus preventingany individual contact with the pro-fessors. During the third or fourthyear, specialization begins, and numner-ous seminars keep the student in veryclose touch with his instructors.

Professor Heisenberg remarked es-pecially upon the lack of supervisionof the students. They are entirelyfree too attend classes whenever theywish. No examinations are givenduring the course, final examinationsin all subjects being taken upon thestudent's graduation after four, five,or six years at the university. TheProfessor attempted no comparison ofthis form of education with theAmerican methods, but he did -remarkupon the great wealth of laboratoryspace and material which is availablein the United States.

The meeting was attended by about90 members of the Faculty. A secondmeeting this week will be held on F~ri-day, the subject of which -will be an-nounced in the next few days.

Among the exhibits definitelyplanned for this year is a demonstra-tion of television by both some grad- Iuate students and some members ofthe freshman 2lass. The aeronauticaldepartment has made it known thatthey will have several interesting ex-hibits and reports from the other de-partments indicate that their exhibitshave taken definite shape and are nowbeing worked upon.

As the Technique Rush will fall thisyear on Open House Day the studentswill be sure of having a large audiencewatch them make heroes out of them-selves. The Dramashop and TechShow have announced that they wvillput on a performance sometime dur-ing the day. Many more events thatare being worked on seem to indicateto the committee in charge that OpenHouse this year will be full of inter-esting and enjoyable things for thevisitors.
