When the Shelton opened (7years ago) we began catering tocollege men and women. Grad-ually their patronage has in-creased; we feel safe in assertingthat more students make theShelton their New York homethan at any club or other hotel.One reason for this is the freerecreational features plus a de-sire to serve on the part of Shel-ton employees. Room rates havebeen greatly reduced. Rates from$50 per month upward. A roomfrom $2.50 daily.

Club features (free to guests) are as fol-lowrs: Swimming pool: completely equippedgymnasium; game rooms for bridge andbackgammon- roof garden and solarium.Restaurant and cafeteria service at reason-able prices.

NEW HANDSO NCE atcain the administration of Technology,'s student govern-

ment passes into new hands; capable hands, we believe. Oneof the essentials of democracy is the perennial change of theleaders. This system doubtless has its advantages, but it has itsdisadvantages, especially lihen the tenure of office is as short asit is in student government.

One disadvantage is that bry the time a man has becomeaccustomed to the feel of the reins, he retires, and a new, more orless inexperienced man takes charge. This does not make forsmoothness and continuity of government. It does, of course,keep a poor government from staying in power too long, but it alsomay remove a capable one before its, full period of usefulness isended. However, it is the only practical system of student govern-ment.

Student government offices are among the mzost thankless oftile entire undergraduate activity system despite the fact that themen holding ILhem have the entire responsibility of directing thecourse of student affairs. The work connected with a major officeis great, and men accepting them are open to much adverse criti-cism; it is seldom that they hear a word of appreciation or praise.

To the ,>w Institute Committee, we recommend that theyexecute their duties wnith as much vigor and judgment as they arecapable of exercising, that they remember the missteps or theirpredecessors and avoid them, and that they recognize the responsi-bilities connected with their positions. W~e assure the Committeeof our cooperation in furthering the best interests of Technologyand wsish them the best of luck.

"THIE ENGINEER TALKS"AST spring at a special banquet of the Combined Professional

Societies, the late Dr. Samuel Wi. Stratton suggested to theassembled engineers a plan that he had cherished for a number ofyears. He arrived from one dinner jutin time to present his out-line, and left immediately after to attend another important func-tion. But during, that short informal address, seeds were sownamong, the Societies for the student paper contest which is under-way this year.

It is the pitiable plight of the present engineer, that he is help-less when it comes to presenting any kind of address. It was forjust this reason that Dr. Stratton introduced the annual speakingcompetition. Realizing the value derived from such an oppor-tunity, more than five out of a total of twelve member societiesof the Combined Societies should take part, and aid in establishingthe contest as an institution.

CONFUSED DONKEYT 0 an already confused Demnocratic donkey, the results of the

California primary must add further bewilderment. Whilefor a time after the stampede of the House and the virtual deathof the Garner boom, the battle for nomination narrowed to a Smith-Roosevelt fracas, the results of the California voting make therace a confused three-cornered affair. The supporters of the HouseSpeaker havze taken heart, and there are reports of a rejuvenated"Garner for President" movement.

Just what the confused donkey -will do in convention, no onecan say, 'least of all those boosters of certain candidates. Smithas a Catholic has little chance to interest Southern dele-ates.Roosevelt writh the opposition of the Smith forces and the possiblesupport of "favorite son" delegates after the first fewe votes, stooda fair chance of getting the nomination until this unexpectedsupport of Garner. The Whole matter is nows more complicatedthan before. The donkey is confused, without a doubt.

"Symphony of Six Millon"

"Symphony of Six Million" at R.K.0.-Keith's is an excellent character portrayalwith an overdose of artificial melodrama.Very convincing is the portrayal of the|life of a Jewvish family in New York'sGhetto; very disgusting are scenes suchas that one in which the father cries outhysterically that he is very happy, andafter ranting a little while, falls in a faint.

A novel by Fannie Hurst furnishes thebasis of this film, and true to that author'sstory, focusses on the intimate happeningsof one section of humanity.

An enterprising son of the family be-comes a surgeon and enjoy s himself thor-oughly alleviating suffering in the Ghettofor practically no financial reward. Hisfamily urges him to move uptown wherethey will all be more comfortable. Finallyhe consents, but is greatly disguisted byvneurotic societv women who visit hisoffice. The son does not conmpletey -findhimself until lie returns to the belov edGhetto.

Tennis PlayersTake OpponentsIn Easy Matches

Varsity Defeats Amherst And

Tufts While Freshman

Take Worcester

With the tennis teams still in their im-mature stages, they have been doing verywell against the competition up to date.The varsity team, in particular, has dis-played unusual form in defeating theJumbo representatives from Tufts, andthe team from Amherst. With fine playerslike Eder, Lammers, Koerner, Hanley,Ross, Reagan, Spragens, and Harris givingCaptain Freddy Feustel, who has beenplaying out of form so far this season, tln-diminishing support; the team lad littletrouble in defeating their formidableopponents.

Apparently Feustel's long winter ]a--off has affected his gamne, and it will lonecessarv for him to do more conscientiouspractising than his teammates, who playedsquash during the winter months, in orderto he in shape.

Coach Jack Summers has been morethan satisfied with the showing of thefreshman candidates. When tennis prac-tice was called, more than thirty freshmenturned out for the team. Of the thirtv-fivecandidates that answered the first call, notone has dropped out of his own accord.

,kt Worcester, the Institute freshmanteam defeated the representatives ofWorcester Academy four matches to one.Ly-tle, seeded first freshman polaver, dis-played brilliant form, and defeated hisopponent 6-2, 6-1. iNot to be outdone b~vhis teammate, Joe Lempert dazzled hisWorcester adversary with fine serx ice"aces" and unusually fine back-court play.

The summary: Lvtle (MT.I.T.) defeatedSharp (W.A3.) 6-2, 6-1; Frumlbcrg (WR'.A.)defeated Weatherbee ( 3-I.I.T.) o6, G-2,7-3; Newmar (2I.I.T.) defeated I. Trevis(WEr.A.) 6-3, 6-3; Fisher (M.I.T.) defeatedJ. Trevis (W.A.) 6-1, G-4; Lempert(MI.I.T.) defeated Livingston (W.A.) 6-1,6-3.

FOR years there has been gen-erally a striking avoidance of

the word "inhale" in cigaretteadvertising. Why? Goodnessonly knows! For everybody in-hales-knowingly or unknow-ingly! Every smoker breathes insome part of the smoke he orshe draws out of a cigarette.

That's why it's all-importantto be certain that your cigarettesmoke is pure and clean-to besure that you don't inhale cer-tain impurities.

Lucky Strike has dared to raisethis vital question-for it has

solved theproblemnl t gives you the

protection you want...becausecertain impurities concealed in

even the finest, mildest tobacco

leaves are removed by Luckies'famous purifying process. Luckies

created that process. Only
