"Be a gentleman" wvas the adviceoffered the clolmitory freshmen byProfessor Leicester F. Hamil~ton,ehair nan of the dormitory board, atthe first Dormitory dinner in W~alker-Memo<rial last -night. Hie told hisaudience that everyone was "not onlylivin- under student government butwas a par-t of student government."

This statement was the keynote ofhis speech, in which he described theorigin of student government at theInstitute, with special reference tothe Dormitory governmient. Pointingout that there are only a fewz T e-u-lations, he stressed the need of self-imzposted discipline to get the mostout of dormitory life. It wvas at thispoint that he brought in his "Be ag-entlem-an'* admonition, as the oneessential rule, covering ever ything.

The meeting opened after dinnerWith the "Stein Song" and "Take MeBack to Tech," f9ollowing w Ic

TreasonThe trouble, we profoundly think,

is that too many people know thebusiness of too many other people.For instance there is the example ofTuffy Emery, that blithe and devilishcox for the varsity crew. Now if we'hadn't been given the vital truth con-cerning varied goings on at thefreshmen camnp, life might remain,momentarily, uncomplicated.

Sunday morning was brilliant withthe promise of untold things. Tuffywas radiant, after a trial run withhis crew, with the prospects of aquiet morning's splashing here andthere about thle tranquil lake. Theseprospects and splashings we dis-covered, were mainly concentrated ina sizable cove just around the corner,where a winsome damsel was retiredwith a book f or the day's reading.

Although without literary aims atthe time, our hero glided gently in tobegin the usual amenities. Oh no,he wasn't fromn M. I. T. Wouldn't bebothered with the inconsequential re-sults of the academic life, and lookat all the money you wasted, and hewouldn't be seen with that bunch offloafers that ran the camp any way.

Oh, did she like literature ? Well,he was a writer of sorts. Yes, indeed.Got off quite a little in his time.Regular paper too. Oh yes, he wroteregularly, about twice a week. Well,he publication wasn't very large,

-airly private, as a matter of fact.Iomne to think of it, maybe it was a

-;mall public, bout quite faithfulthough.

Exactly how- big? Oh, very small,probably not more than three or fourread it. Well, all right if she wasgoing to be astute, maybe they wereonly letters.

So she was going to college wasshe? Well, how much did she know?knyway, college wasn't much use.Bet she couldn't tell whether the-ous' ears were in back of the horns

or in f ront of them.Wthat, didn't she know a simple

thing like that ? Why, he wasshocked. And going to college too !Where were they ? Well, after all.A~ simple question like that! Did shemean to tell him she really couldn'ttell? What a state. No, he wouldn'ttell her. Might spoil it. Well, better.-hink that over, time he was gettingback. (Elapsed time is now abouttwo houls, and the lady's dinner hasbeen an hour waiting. ) Well, soIon-. Don't let the freshmen getyou.

As a matter of fact, Emery, justwhere are those ears?

Just As We ThoughtConcluding our usual sophistry

wvith notes around the office, we arepleased to r elate of the notes whichone of our follower uppers wroteConcerning ar. interview with awould-be candidate.

The candidate had indicated in-terest upon the T.C.A. card and thenhad failed to come forth. The mantraced him down to his room in thedorms where he found his man,

He was interested in journalismand had thought seriously of THETECHI all right, but was afraid hecouldn't vrite and had decided, there-fore, to go out for Voo Doo.

VI-4I Therefore, in connection with thework on the field, it was necessary toprovide additional space for parking.

This problem has been solved byextensive enlarging and remodellingof the previously existing facilities.The space behind the main group ofbuildings has been enlarged to thegreatest posible extent, and newcable fences have been installed forthe control of traffic.. The cables aresupported by steel posts, which arepainted white to make them morereadily visible. As an additionalsafety feature, white strips of metal,have been suspended from the cablesth emselves, to warn motorists oftheir presence.

The space at Building 33 has beensimilarly improved, as well as thefacilities at the east side of Build-ing 10 and at the east side of Build-ing 8.

If the number of cars which dailycome to the Institute increases to anygreat extent, it will be -necessary touse the space near the board track.This has been graded and can beconverted into a parking space onvery short notice.

The paving in all tHe parkingspaces has been done over. Themain space in the rear of Building 10has been resurfaced with a coating ofTarvia "'A" and three-eighths inchtraprock.

One Way Traffic InstalledThe roadway encircling the new

grass plot has been made narrower,and traffic is now routed in a counter-clockwise direction around the plot.It was felt that the roadway border-ing Tech -field should be movedfarther south, since the efforts ofcertain over-ambitious h a m m e r -

traflic. Accordingly, the road andguide fence have been moved 20 feetto the south.

"Cops" Handle Large Volume ofTraffic

Approximately 450 cars come dailyto the main parking spaces, and eightmen are required to handle the rushin the hours before 9:30 o'clock. Thefirst double row of the main space Isreserved for the staff up to this hour.The medical department also has areserved space near Building 11. Themen are kept busy keeping the re-stricted areas open and keeping theroadways clear, and tags are placedon all cars improperly parked, re-questing the operators to park in anon-restrieted area.

After 9:30 o'clock, only two menare maintained on duty, to enforcethe one-way ruling and the parkingrules.

New Project, Suggested byD~r. Compton, in Charge of

Superintendent Smith

Members of the Faculty and stu-dents alike, returning for the Fallterln, have observed with feelings ofmingled relief and gratitude thechange which~has taken pla-ce in theerstwhile barren expanse of prairielying between Building 6 and thedormitories. It is now blossoming forth as a very presentable grassplot, surrounded by a neat concretecurb and interlaced with new con-crete walks.

This present bright, and cheerfulaspect is in very pleasant contrast tothe previously existing conglomera-tion of boardivalks, autos of high andlow degree, and a general appearance

as of dust, cinders, and depressingdrabness.

The suggestion that the grounds beimproved was made early last sum-mer by Dr. Compton. In accordancewith his suggestion, it became theduty of Albert V. Smith, Superin-tendent of Buildings and Power, toplan and supervise the project. Theactual direction of the work was dele-gated to his assistant, M~r. J. W. Mac-Donald.

Took Four Wheeks to CompleteAs soon as the planning of the

project was completed, and the actuallabor begun, a steam shovel -was em-ployed for a period of four and a'half days, to do the sub-grading.After this, the soil was treated with3850 cubic feet of lo-vi-grade fertilizer,

in order to prepare it-for the coating throwers constituted a grave menaceof rich loam which was to follow. Ito the safety of the automobile

I " ... . -

2500 cubic yards of loam was thenlaid in a nine-inch layer over the en-tire surface of the field, and 3000pounds of high grade fertilizer werethen applied, -preparatory to the sow-ing of the 700 pounds of grass seed.The labor of 12 men was requiredover a period of more than threeweeks, in order to do this amiount ofwtork.

It is interesting to note that thefflrass seed was sown in September,

rather than in July or August.Superintendent Smith explained thatthis was because the hot summerweather tended to scorch the grassand prevent its growving, whereas theautumn weather, while comparativelymuch cooler, was not cold enough tocause any damage to the grass, withthe result that it would grow muchbetter.

New Concrete Sidewalks and CurbingAnother very agreeable leature of

the new project is the concrete side-walks wbich havte been installed.These converge at the northwestcorner of Walker Memorial, and fromthere lead to the entrances of Build-ings 2, 6 andl 8. They are a welcomechange from the old board and ma-cadam -walks.

The new walks comprise 1000linear feet of concrete, 350 feet ofwhich are six feet wide, while theremaining 650 feet are five feet wide.They have a crown of one inch, inorder to facilitate drainage. In addi-tiOII, the field is surrounded by 1300linear feet of curbing.

The wvork of laying the concretewas not done by Institute labor. In-stead, a contract for the work waslet to the local firm of SimpsonBrothers. It is of interest to notethat this firm has built all the othersidewalks on the Institute grounds.

New Provisions for Auto ParkingAs will be remembered, the present

field was previously used for theparking of cats, and approximately150 cars were thus accommodated.

Than $7500

Superintendent Smith statedthe cost of the woral on theIgrass plot . was S.3,700, while

thatneNlv

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

SCHOLARSHIP'S RISE

THE psychologist in explaining the graduate rise in the stu-T dent scholarship rating might place the blame on the low ebb

of finances back home. I-e might predict with the advent ofinflation and higher prices, a gradual reversion to the slothfulways of our predecessors of 1928-29. All over the country theattitude of the student seems to be to get -more out of his books,to get more for his money than during easy money days.

With the tightening of the strings of the family bursary,more pressure has been brought to bear on the student memberof the fold. The need for scholarship and loan aid from thevarious institutions has caused the student to pay more attentionto his scholastic position. In times past, the freely flowing dollarkept the college man in school with the minimum of sacrifice, andlittle was demanded in the line of scholastic accomplishment.

Evten the strongest activities have felt the sting of the popu-larity of scholastic achievement. Professors in every college havecomplained that during the past five years interest in undergradu-ate undertakings has reached the lowest point in their experience.But to assume at random that participation in extra-curricularaffairs is detrimental to scholastic rating is to be grossly mis-taken. In fact the direct reverse is true. It is well known thatthe men who go farthest after graduation are the men who ledin undergraduate affairs during their college life. Right here atTechnology, the average Tating of men concerned in undergrad-uate affairs is higher than the average of those who are not.

BRING B3ACK ROMANCE

p\/UCH ado has been made in recent gangster fiction of thelM semblance of honor and honesty even in the lowest stratum

of society. "There is a spark of good in every mnan," is the usualcomment that the religious reformers preach and try to kindleinto flame. From the rumblings that have come up the hall fromthe T.C.A. office there is some doubt about this ."spark of good"in some of the undergraduates here at the Institulte. Each yearthere has been some trouble about the' theft of books from thebook exchange in the basement of Walker Memorial. The lossesthis year have particularly irked the managers of the book ex-change.

Men who leave their text books and supplies with the Christ-ian Association, for the most part, find it heartbreaking to selltheir belongings but through necessity are forced to give themup for the financial return which they bring. It is discouraging,to say the least, to find that not only the money is absent but.also the book or instrument is not on the shelf. It is the practiceof romantic story book thieves to steal from the rich to aid thepoor. If honesty of the good old fashioned New England varietycan not bie instilled into Technology men, let the English Depart-ment instill a spirit of romance into each of uIs that will avert thelosses among the impecunious booksellers next year.

RELIEF UNAMERCAN?

$330,000,000 of the $500,000,000 appropriation for unemploy-7: ment relief, have been tur ned over to Harr y L. Hopkins, the

Federal Relief Administrator. This money will be spent for food:clothing, and fulel for the unemployed this winter. So large anappropriation for this purpose is wvithout precedent in this coun-try's history.

Some men (Rugged Individualists) will say that this isXwrong: that it is not in accord with oulr traditional American wayof doing things; that to tax the rich in order to distribute theirwealth to the poor is radical and socialistic.

In his treatment of the unemployed President Roosevelt doesnot impress us as being radical or socialistic. To be radical now-adays implies r aising Human Rights to a par with PropertyRights. But to keep the unemployed from starving or fromfreezing is to remove a potential menace of rebellion a threat toproperty.

Incidentally, the Declaration of Independence still possessesso much political dynamite that we wonder that more is not heardof it these days.

First Year Men Wantedfor Managerial Work

Tw o of the major sports ofthe Institute are deploring thelack of freshmen assistantmanagers. Both the boathouseand the trackhouse have needof first year men who are in-terested in trying out for thepositions of sophomore assist-ants and ultimately for man-ager of the respective sports.
