Quivering Cats Plan to Bringin Ringers to Stand

Onslaught

Carrying their ancient feud to themore legitimate field of football,THE TE:CH and Voo Doo will neet atthe unheard of hour of 10 o'clock onSunday morning, November 5.

The same spot that has recentlywitnessed the comparatively peacefulantics of the Sophomores and fresh-man will be treated to an extremelynitrogenous soaking of blood. It iscommon information that the bloodof cats,, particularly black cats, has>-au almost magical effect upon vegeta-'-tion when applied as a fertilizer.

When the quivering Cats dared toaccept the challenge of the newsiesthey must have been trusting to theirpower to spread bad luck. It isrumored that their secret triple re-tverse play derives its efficacy by hav-ing three of their quivering cats runacross the path of the oncomingNewsie with the result that 'he willwilt in his tracks from the curseplaced upon him. However, theNewsies will remove all necessity ofcrossing the path of the black Catsby the simp:- method of grinding thecats deep into the ground and walk-ing on them instead of across theirpaths !

The Voo Doo team has evidencedSome fear as to the ability of the or-dinary run of Black Cat to stand upunder the terrific onslaughts of theNewsies. As a. result they have im-Ported a few special brands of catscon'sisting mostly of alley cats with

slightly hardier physiques. One ofthese alley cats, ringers to you, wasreckless enough to permit his nameto be printed in the November issueof Voo Doo with the position of quar-terback indicated. To the Newsies itmakes little difference whether thereare a few more cats to be trod upon,of course, the ground will be slip-perier with more blood.

The lineup for THE TECH includessuch all-American material as "Dan-gerous" Dangel and "Smothering"Smitty as the cat-chasing ends.''Steamroller'' Seder and "Stooge"Gratz wvill dog the black cats in thepositions of guards. "Hangman"'Hamilton centers the ball and consid-erable attention. "Rock" Odiorneand "Bone-crushing" Bull will gorethe alley stinkers to oblivion underthe offcial title of tackle. The posi-tion of the members of the backfieldis being kept secret until the gamebegins. This is being done in an ef-fort to keep the spirit of the blackcats from descending to abyssimaldepths. If they should learn the iden-tity of our irresistible backfield it isfeared that they would call in a fewpole cats to assist them.

Those of Voo Doo who -rashly re-'signed them-selves to the sacrifice are"Crawling" Kron, "Backout" Bailey,"Darling" D~uff, "Flit" Freedman,"Elfen" Ellenwood, "Winsome" West-fall, "Daisy" DuPont, "Lead foot"Lindemmyer, "Milk toast" Mills,"Cutie" Cargen, and "Cut-up" Ken-nedy. This list includes only one ofthe dozens of ringers that the VooDoo is bringing to be slaughtered.

Russian Divorce Laws No WorseThan Ours, Rev. Paine

Tells Liberals

A strong plea for the recognitionof Russia was made by Rev. GeorgeL. Paine, secretary of the GreaterBoston Federation of Churches in anaddress before the members of theLiberal Club Tuesday evening.

Rev. Paine declared that othernations should first "clean out theirown houses" before criticizing Rus-sia. He explained that although Rus-sia's war debts to the United Statesare still unpaid, the Soviet 'has aclaim on the Allies, for Allied troopswere sent into Russia after the revo-lution before war was declared. Thespeaker asserted that the debts con-tracted by the present Russian gov-ernment will be paid. He owns abond on the Soviet, he declared, onwhich interest has always been paid.

Russian divorce laws are no worsethan those of other countries, accord-ing to Rcev. Paine, who showed thatin spite of the simplicity of the pro-ceedings the number of divorces is nogreater than those in the UnitedStates. Russia, in the Rev. Paine'sopinion, is just as worthy of recogni-tion as any other nation, and he be-lieves that the day is -not far off'when the United States will recog-nize Russia.

Bachenstoss said that be hadtalked with the Heads of CoursesI, II, III, V, VI, VI-A, VI-C, IX, X,XI, XV, and that, with the possibleobjection of two department headsthat too frequent occurrence of OpenHouse might tend to dull the effect,no disapproval was evidenced.

Wright, '35; Clyde M.Leavitt, '35; and Thomas Wareham,'36, to the Senior Ring Committee;the appointment, subject to the ap-proval to the Point System Commit-tee, of Zay B.

We feel like giving credit wherecredit is due, and it is -certainly obvi-ous that if anything is going to be asuccess, it is this Boat Club business.And if any one thing has made it soit is the Emery-Westfall combine,whose satyr ical genius has guidedth~e destiny of this social effort of thebrawny crew rnen.

Personally, we never would havesuspected such enthusiasm over aproject of these strong, quiet brutes,beaten, as they are, into silent taci-turnity by the winds of the river, butthat just goes to show yhou what canhappen when somebody that knowshowv, stars putting their oar in.

0oI Waish I TWva a Moron,-Per-

hzaps-

Ther e is a slight matter that hasbeen di-awn to our attention wvithlinthe past fess days, concerning a mis-ta];en identity.

Cei-tain w orthyr gentlemen fromt ahouse on this side of the r~iver werevisiting a certain young lady, orladies, on the other side of the riveron the way to N~ewton. We just wvantyou to appreciate the suburban at-mosphere.

Eventually the boys left for home,indulging, in their excess of highspir its, in considerable horseplay.Some, ill one car, were engaged inhiding another gentleman's hat some-where up a pole in the vicinity.

Ther e must have been somethingmysterious in the whole business, al-though why three fellows, a hat, anda pole, should be mysterious, is be-yond us. At any rate it was justwith that mysteriousness that afourth factor entered computations.

He dashed out of a -nearby house,ad jibbing "stick 'ein up. All right,all right, I got ya covered, etc." andadvanced with a fairly wicked lookingautomatic leveled at those in thecar. ( One is supposed to have sup-posed that the hat had been properlydisposed of by this time).

Still holding his gun, the intervenerin the interests of public justice wasthreatening this and that, and tellingthe boys to move along. One de-barked and approached him, to seewhat was what, whereupon Hair-breadth Harr y dropped his gun andstar ted making passes at him. Atthis point, Hairbreadth Harry'spoppa leaned out of a window and in-formed the rvorld at large that thepolice were comning. Se. Hairbreadthdeparted, post haste, to the relativelysafe haven of his own domicile, pre-sumably to quiver uinder the bed.

Somewhat mystified, the gentle-men involved inspected the aforesaidn-un, and found it to be a weater pistol.At this juncture someone from anearby house strolled by, to see whatall the noise wvas about.

When asked about the mysterioushero, and showed the evidence of hisbr avery, he nodded understandingly.

"It's all right," he said, with thetone of one accustomed to makingmany allowances, "He's a Senior atTech."

Four years at Tech ! Oh sugar !Is it too late, or can we still get out?

__o-

Cho0ice of the PeopleApropos of the freshmen elections,

we feel quite the student indicatorof the political pendulum, as we notethat the President, Vice President,and Treasurer just elected wvere allinfluential in that-phony kidnappingof Briggs.

Perhaps it is going a little too farbut wne feel moved to compliment theboys on as tidy a piece of advertis-ing as it has been our lot to see inmany a day. Who's afraid of the bigbad electioneer ? Phthrtrrrrrrptz.

The hard times have made thestudent more serious avers a south-ern educator. He's getting it seems,more out of college and less out offather.-Boston Traweller.

THE POOR CAT>OW that the second edition of the cat's scratching is in the

N51hands of the victims who paid their quarters, we are begin-ning to hear those wails that were suppressed after the first issuein the hope of better things. Voo Doo's second masterpiece is abitter disappointment. It contains but one or two good originaljokes and a number of fairly funny ones cut from other collegepapers. The rest is just filler.

It must be that old Phosphorus is dead. If he is countedamong the deceased, he most certainly must be revolving slowlyin his grave. For the modern Voo Doo is certainly only a shadowof its former self.

The haughty attitude that was so becoming to the cat in hisearly days still remains. In the recent issue he advises thatTHE TECH refrain from printing an occasional joke. Then he addsthat his job is to tell jokes, not give advice. He ought to tellsome jokes for a change! Just look some time at the collegecomics that sell for only fifteen cents. They are often far betterthan our Voo, Doo. If the cat cannot improve the quality of hisissues, he certainly ought to get off his high horse and cut theprice.

THE ENGINEER CONSERVATIVE

ONCE upon a time there lived a man who owned a wolf, a goat,0 and a head of cabbage. And it came to pass that this manwent on a journey, taking his possessions with him. In the courseof his travels lie came to a river on the bank of which he foundbut one boat, a rickety craft which could support himself and butone of the objects he had to transport across the stream.

If he took the wolf with him and left the goat and the heador cabbage together, his capital would suffer a sudden decrease.If, in protecting the cabbage, he left the wolf and the goattogether, his wealth would experience an even greater drop.

Luckily he was not an engineer, so instead of applying thefirst and second laws of thermodynamics and ending up with abridge, he arrived at a plan whereby with the mneans at hand hecould get himself and his possessions over the river in safety. Thereader, with a little thought, can figure out how.

Engineers, in fact all technicians, are apt to fall into a type oferror which a less rigidly trained man often avoids. Because oftheir habit of analysis and examination in the light of basic lawsthey are apt to feel helpless in the presence of a question not opento attack by the scientific method. An example is the engineersconservative outlook on politics.

When discussing any large group of individuals it is danger-ous to speak of averages. It is inaccurate to say that the averageengineer is politically conservative. There are many engineerswith radical leanings, there are some who are reactionaries, thereare large numbers who are politically negative. Yet there is adistinct tendency for the graduates of technical schools to be defi-nitely bourgeois. The engineer is commonly supposed to takethe motto "Go slow" as his political creed.

On the face of it such a policy is inconsistent. The engineeris seemingly a radical in his work. He is noted for his startlinglynew ways of doing things. He is constantly solving impossibletasks in unexpected ways.

Eat actually he is merely applying the unchanging funda-mental laws of science in the best ways to meet particular condi-tions. He has been trained to consider every problem in the lightof certain prescribed rules and limitations. When he thinks on apolitical problem (when he does) he takes it for granted thathtere are laws governing political science as there are physics.Since he is not an initiate he is apt to mistake theories in commonpractice as laws and as a result his conclusions take a conservativeslant.

Volume' LII is pleased to announce the election of WalterLandsiedel, '37, to the Advertising Department.
