Tech Engineers OvercomeSerious Parking Problem

Up drove five husky engineers in-tent on satisfying an appetite. Theobstacle which stood between themand their craving was a place topark the car. At last a space wasfound that would fit the Ford skintight, the problem was to get it inthe limited space. But remembernow, they were engineers fromTechnology and a clever act wasforthcoming. Suggestions flew fromall corners until someone suggestedlifting the car into place, so tenstrong arms, ten legs, and five pairsof lungs were concentrated on mov-ing "old lizzie"l into place. Muchto the delight of a gathering crowdheld back by a "copper" the taskwas completed and the boys jour-neyed i n to eat.

Two TournaamentsBegin Monday For

The Squash PlayersHandicap and Regular Meets

Scheduled to StartNext Week a-15'-

Othlmlal -H. AnintillTwo squash tournaments start forthe squash enthusiasts next Mondayafternoon. A handicap meet for Uii-der graduates, one for freshmen, anlanother for faculty and graduate stu-dents make up one tourlnalllent. Tlheother is a regiflar scratcll toulllnamentwith the same divisions to obtain thlewinners of the Emerson (C1up.

Whiuners of the Emerson tr opliies,two large cups annonecedl a fewl -%eelcsago, vill also have a chance to go toNew York to compete in the Intelrcol-legiates tllere. Tllese two men willrepresent Technology at that meet.

Sign Up Before SaturdaySignups for both tournaments can

be made until Satu day at the bulle-till boai d over by the squash courits.An entl ance fee of a quarter is beinglevied to pay for silver plates for thewinners of the landicap tournament.

In the handicap meet players willbe divided into four classes by CoachSummers. The players will start withminus quantities, and as they winthese quantities will be done awaywith. The winner vill be the playerwho has the la gest quantity at theend of the meet. This vill give thepoorer players a chance to win theuleet.

The best players -vill be griven aminus 12 handicap to start the meet.Then. the remaining players will laveminus S. minus 4 and zero acco rdingto their respective abilities. The sameplan applies to all three of the meets.

The Emerson trophy tournamentwill decide in reality the school cham-pionship. In addition the whinnelr willbe sent by the A. A. A. to the NewYork meets. A large number of sign-tips are expected for this tournamenton account of the honor's that go withthe winning.

ADVANCED STUDENTSTEACH SOPHOMORES

New System Appears To BeBetter Than Lectures

Instead of the usual series of lec-tules in tle use of big guns and artil-lery equipment, which is a part ofthe Coast Artillery course, a newsystem, is being tried this term whichseems to be working very well. Sopho-mores who are taking the course aresplit up into ten divisions and in-structed twice a wteek by a group of 60Junior and Senior advanced students.This instruction will last for tenweeks after which the group willbegin the regular outdoor course.

In favor of the new method is thefact that a student pays more atten-tion while being questioned about ap-paratus onl which lie is working thanlie can in a crowded lecture hall. Alsothe advance students are finding thatteaching a subject is about the bestmeans of learning it.

Because of an unusual increase inthe number of men taking the course,the group going to summer camp atFort Monroe is unusually large thisyear.

Denies Any ComfortIn Classsroom Chairs

Contrary to all accepted theoriesit seems to distress the instructorsto see any of the students in theirclassrooms in a state of discomfort-at least that is the attitude of one

of the English Professors. In classyesterday men sitting near thefront were able to discern a mourn-ful expression on the face of theirteacher as he discoveerd one of hisscholars deep in the arms of Mor-pheus.

Dismayed at such a vision, the In-structor advised the young man inquestion to seek a couch or a com-fortable lounge chair in some restroom. He went on to state that itgreatly disturbed him to know thatone of his students should endangerhis future health by assuming suchangle for reclining.

BULL SESSIONS OR BULL

So prevalent and so trite that ithas become practically a truism is theidea that one gets more out of a co'llegiate bvull-session than out of any=thing else connected wdith the Unliver=sity. "I get more out of a sessionthan out of going to class," is the cDM-Mon form. Well, there are sessions-and tllere: are sessions-

There's the kind that comes aftera game, when the boys gather 'roundand discuss the relative merits of theplayers, w hether Smith or Brownemade the most points, and what werethe biggest faults of the opposingteam's tactics. There's the kindthat comes after a dance, wshen themusic, the punch and the dates arc-hashed over in retrospect, so to speak-And then there's the ordinary kindin which religion, food, life and sex-chiefly sex-are discussed. The latter type is the more wide in its appeal, and is the one more often found=

'rhe general opinion is that theideas expressed in these sessions arrso productive of thought- and so origin-nal that one cannot afford to passthem by. Perhaps this is true in aFfew cases; generally, however, it isonly the trite, the expected, that is ex-pressed in such a session. That, o--thle consciously clever.

Close observation wvill reveal thal-little that is said in a bull-session iit,sincere, and what is sincere is trite o-too flighty to consider. Perhaps thiFis because worthwhile subjects are scseldom discussed with anyi degree o--intelligence or with an open mind.

There al e sessions and sessions'Maybe they're worth one's time; may-b~e, we say.-V. H.

The Daily Nebraskan finds tha.wromen students have higher graderthan men. Thley give every reason fo-thlis except superior intelligence.

Officials at 'the University of Wash=inigtoll have found out that bright Stu-clents marry bright students, and Stu-

Interest In Things Other ThanRegular Work Indicates

Good Qualities

That extra-curricular activities arean integral and worthwhlile feature ofa Technology man's program, but thatparticipation in them should belimited to those wh~o are able to carrythis extra work without detriment totheir scholastic standing was the con-sensus of opinion of several professorsof the Institute whlo were interviewedon the general subject of activities.

"If any man is able to keep up hisscholastic standing and at the sametime to carry the extra work of anactivity, I say go to it," stated one."'This interest in something besideswhat is actually required indicates avery worthwhile characteristic in aman."

Actually Valuable to StudentEvery one of those questioned on

whether work in activities wras of anyactual value to a student replied inthe affirmative.. All said that the In-stitute has something other thantraining to offer the students.

"An education conlsists of manymore things than just-whlat is taughtin the class room. A strident must pre-pare himself to enter a world of co-operative effort, and anything thatprepares him for this is of definitevalue. Taking part in activity workwhile hle is at the Institute off ers astudent all opportunity to meet people,to work with them, and to makie socialcontacts," said a departmental headwrho has had considerable experiencein obtaining positions for men a~fterthey graduate.

Develops JudgmentAlong the same thoughlt, another de-

partmental hleadl stated that any posi-tionl that gives a man a chalice toexercise decision was of definite valueto the undergraduate, for when hefinishes his technical training he willbe placed in a position requiring moreor less ability to render judgmentsand to make decisions.

A third professor reiterated theopinions of one previously interviewed.He stated that the value of activitywork lies in the social contacts thatare made ill it. "Work in activitiesgives a social contact, a human ele-ment that the faculty can't possiblygive," he said.

"The man who comes to Technlologyand spends all his time over his booksmisses something of its life" saidl oneprofessor. "He may -et C's and H'sall the wvay through his course, butwhlen hle graduates he leaves tine In-stitute in the same way hle came fromhigh schlool. He has had no socialcontacts and has missed all the p~er-sonal element of his training."

It woas the unanimous opinion of

those questioned that participationin extra-culrricular work should not becontinued to the detriment of the regu-lar scholastic work.

One administrative official statedhis views on this phase of the sub-ject in this manner: "If participationin some activity beyond the regularcurricular work requires that a mlanslight his studies to such an extentthat it seriously affects his grades, heought to drop activity work. Somemen do not have the ability to handlemore than one job at a time, and ofcourse, the purpose of the under-igraduate in coming to the Instituteshould be to master the class roomSwork."

"Extra-curricullar work is excellentin its place" said another ill com-menting on the position of activitiesin the stuldent pro-ram.Time Budget Needed for Activities"In the last. analysis it all comes

APT ASSISTANCE J

A T THE recent meeting of the Advisory Council on Athletics 'ta sum of money was voted to the M. I. T. Squash Club tof

enable it to enter the Intercollegiate Tournament at New lYork, where it will compete against teams from the larger lcolleges and universities in the East. For an unrecognizedXsport, this privilege is one which represents every opportunity,for accomplishing no end of purposes.;

It is no easy task for the devotees of a new sport at the gInstitute to have it recognized by the M. I- T. A. A. as anextra-curricular activity deserving of financial support. A perusal of the records of the Athletic Association will revealithat no sport is entered under its supervision and support untilit has proven itself worthy in intercollegiate meets, and ofbenefit to the members of the student body who compete. Itis a well recognized fact that this sport offers every oppor-tunity for physical development, but it must prove to the sat-isfaction of the M. 1. T. A. A. that it merits its sanction inmeets with other schools.

Up to the present all meets entered by the Squash Teamhave been made financially possible by contributions from theIteam members themselves, as have been uniforms and other.supplies. Last year the Corporation asserted its interest byproviding a coach for Squash, whose salary is paid by the In-stitute. This fact did much toward promoting undergraduatetinterest in the sport, and raised its status considerably.

Obviously, a satisfactory showing in the IntercollegiateTournament will be a determining event in the history of thesport. The interest of the powers behind the policies of theAthletic Association, combined with the continual progressof the sport itself in intercollegiate competition, seem to in-dicate that Squash is well on the road to the justly deservedprivileges and opportunities of a recognized Technology sport.

AND TO WHAT END ?NOT many years ago the spring of the year was a seasonN for high festivity and celebration at Technology. In April

came Junior week, every day of which was dedicated to themembers of that class. Later in the month the "Tech Circus"was held, an event which suffered an unsuccessful re-birthtwo years ago. Still further back in the annals of student tra-dition we find records of a mnuch keener interclass competitionthan we find today, and events in which the entire schoolpal-took were not infrequent.

Why has there been such a decided decrease in this humanrelationship? One fundamental reason for the gradual dyingout of Technology tradition is the size to which the Institute.has grown within the last ten years. It is no longer possibleto depend upon every member of the student body for his sup-port in any movement, nor is it possible to promote suchevents as depend too greatly upon a cosmopolitan spirit. Asyears go on, we seem to resemble a group of individuals morethan we do a student body. The wide diversification ofsports and activities, the constant subdivision of courses intonew courses, and the rigid specialization which typifies eachof these, are factors which have discouraged any great feelingof student inter-relationship.

What, then, will be the Institute of -fifty years hence? Maywe prophecy that in 1981 the school will incorporate nostudent activities whatsoever, a-Ld that instruction is operatedon a time-clock basis. The ultimate result of this decreasingregard for the human equation is a matter for serious con-sideration.

The story. wvlile not the outstanding.eature of the picture, has been enl-

largedl from the printed edition, andthe female lead has been undulyinamiffied..

Aloy sins Horn, a veteran African-,'iv(,i' tr ader, takes with him oil oneof his, tripls inland the young son ofall old friend. Horn and Peru, hisyoung friend, encounter a widowedmissionary who lost her husband andbaby daughter in a tribal war 20 yearsbefore. Slle is still seeking thedaughIter whaom she believes is stillalive with the tribe. Horn and Perupromise to follow her ill the searchfor her daughter.

They go to the center of the con-tinent, to the Osorgi tribe where theyfind the daughter, who is as much asavage as the blacks and is now re-garded as a goddess. The capture ofthe party, their torture, and subse-quent escape, bearing the white girlwith them, furnish the tense portionof the play.

In the process of returning to civi-lization many perils are encountered,and the emotional element of the playgets under way. At the last we seePeru and his little white savage onboard a steamer leaving Trader Hornto return to his jungles alone.

Hardy Carey as Trader Horn andEdwina :Booth as Nina are the out-standing characters. Peru is playedby Duncan Renaldo.

CONSIDER ABOLITIONOF FOOTBALL AT B. U.

Lack of Student Interest InSport Given as Reason

That the lack of interest manifestedbay Boston University students maynecessitate the abolition of football atthat university has been suggested byDeall Alexander S. Begg, chlairmlan ofthe Athlletic Council. "We are spend-in'g the students' motley," is the state-m1ent made by the Dean, "andl we mustb~e careful wvitll it. Yet *e cannot con1-tinule to spelld these fUllds ulpol somle-thlin- that the students themselves donot seemingly wvant." In the midst ofthe current discussion l egardinlg theover-emplwasis of football, Dea n Begg' sstatenlent comies as a distinct contral-dictionl.

l7l1e lack of spirit at B3ostoI Uni-versity is accounted for in the Dean'sstatement by the lack of unity ill theschool itself and further by the fact.that a large proportion of the studentsare earning their wtay through collegeand have no time for the sport. Inthis connection, George V. Brown ofthe U~niversity made the statementthat every effort is made to providethe athletes faith jobs', he cites theinstance of "Mickey" Cochrane, whoworked at the Arena wit] ,about 25others while he was attending C. B. A.

Field Too Far From CityTlle distance of the field fromt the

city, according to Dean Beg~g, is thealibi commonly offered by the studentsfor not participating, and the charter-ing, of buses is being considered as apossible remedy. Dean Begg alsohopes to succeed ill instillingl someschool spirit into his students.

Hall OutstandingMiddle distance men will probably

be considerably under the influence ofBill Hall, a junior who has upheld hisclass' honor ill twio previous inter-classaffairs, and who will be good forpoints in more than one event for thethird year team. Bell, a member ofthe freshman relay team, wvill alsoenter this race and from all indicationsso far, he will give a good account ofhimself. Other entries for this eventinclude Sousa, '34; Huffe, '34; 117alsh,'33; Mulliken, '32; Moore, '34; Tim-mermann, '34. Everyone of these menare strong runners in the shorterraces, and this one ought to be one ofthe features of the day.

Don Gilman, the wonder cross-country runner, wvill enter both themile and the mile and a half races forthe juniors, and it will certainly b~e ahot race in either case, as the bestdistance men in the Instituteare entered. Manln, andl Cllarlie Hall,the men who astounlded Dartmoutlwvithl their work in the ESS and mile,are both to be pitted against Gilmanin each race, for the yearlings.

Shot Put EntriesIll the shot put, Bror Gronldal oulght

to have no difficulty in carrying thlefieldl as hle is the best wveighlt man inTrecllnology at present, wvitllolt anyexceptions. Viollowving him to thelimit, will be Bailey, the hleavywveigllLvrestler, wvho adds his strengthl to

the juniors' flag. For the freshlmenllWinermanl will lead the entr ies, wxitllTomlinson, Jew^ett, anal Lockhlart b~e-hind him. Putnam is the sole 1933 entry, and is up against some verystiff competition.

Benjamin is probably the indicatedwvinner in the llighl jump and his score,whatever it is will --o to the seniors'credit. Coon and Piel ce al e thesophomore menl, and they are sure torun Benjamin a close race for thetitle. Thle only freshman entlry isTomlinso)n, waho is also registeredl inthre shot put.

athletics at the Institute, all of thoseinterview stated that they consideredthe relation of sports to scholasticwork to be much better than it wouldbe if competitive sports were upper-most in the mind of the undergrad-uate.

One professor who has been con-nected with the Institute for over 40years, expressed the wish that therewere some way in which the studentscould get together for a little moregroup action than is now possible. Herecommended more school spirit andsuggested that a larger portion of thestudent body go to the athletic con-tests and show their loyalty to the Ln-stitute by taking part in school cheer-ing.
