Locker Key CausesAccident in P. T. Class

During one of the regular periods

of Physical Training yesterday

morning, an example of how a

harmless recreation may become

dangerous came to light. While

performing an exercise which con-

sisted of jumping up and down, one

of the men dropped his locker key

on the floor. It landed under the

feet of the exerciser in front of

him, and, as his foot descended,

went right through the sole of his

shoe. lThe next thing on the pro-

gram for the victim of fate was a

trip to the infirmary with a pain-

ful, but not serious, injury.

Plans for the annual SophomoreDance, which will be held next Fridaynight in the Main Hall of "N'alkerMemorial, are rapidly nearing com-pletion. Since nearly everyone of thecommitteemen gained considerable ex-perience in formulating a similar en-tertainment last year, it is believedthat they canl use their acquired knowl-edge in arranging an interesting eve-ing. It is expected that the dancewill be equal in every way if not su-perior to that one of last year vhichattracted a large crowd.

Tickets are note being sold daily inthe Main Lobby of the Institute. Judg-ing f om the results of sales to date,many men will be expected at thedance, since a number of admissionshave already been purchased. Post-ers have been put on display at vari-oous conspicuous places correctly in-forming the men as to the particularsof the dance.

In order to further the sales of tick-ets, special offers are made to thosewho wish to earn a free admission.Any man who sells as many as tentickets will be given one free ofcharge. In addition to any free lanceswho may sell tickets, they may be ob-tained from any of the SophomoreClass Officers or members of the dancecommittee.

Senior NominationsMust Be In Today

Owing to an error on the part ofthe Committee in charge of elec-tions, it was erroneously printedin last Wednesday's issue of THETECH that nominations for ClassDay Marshalls must have the sig-natures of ten sponsors. The cor-rected statement is that nomina-tions for Class Day MarshalIs musthave the signatures of twenty-fivesponso rs.

Nominations for Senior Class DayMarshalls and for the Senior WeekCommittee are due today at 5o'clock in the ballot box placedoutside the Information Office inBuilding 10. For nomination to theSenior Week Committee five spon-sors are sufficient. Any errors oromissions should be reported toCharles R. Wood '31 before nextTuesday morning. The electionswill be held next Wednesday.

Varsity Lose To Williams Inj Close Game 31 to 25-

Motter Stars

FRESHMEN LOSE 28 TO 20

i Though outclassed in the first halfof the game with Williams the Tech-nology basketball team came baclk ilthe last period to make a close andinteresting contest out of it, losingin the end by six points. The final

s score was 31-25, while the freshman3 game with Boston Boy's Club ended

in a 28-20 count in favor of the lat-ter team. Last night the yearlings

,{, met the strong Dartmoutl freshmanteam, and Saturday night the Varsitywill encounter Clal k University ofWorcester.

All during the first half of the Wil-liams game Wednesday niglt, the Pur-ple team ran circles around the Beav-ers coming out ahead at the half by ascore of 20-7. Of these seven pointsonly one basket was made from thet floor all the rest of the points comingvia the foul line. However the sec-ond half was of an entirely differentature, the Engineers coming back to

score almost twice as many points astheir opponents.

Game Rough at TimesSome rather rough basketball vas

displayed during the game, and tomake matters worse the refereecouldn't seem to call the right mis-demeanors at the right time. Tech-nology scored nine of their points onfoul shots.

Motter led the scoring for both fives,making three field goals, and every-one of them being of al extraordinarynature, besides counting twice on pen-alty shots. Field and Fowle were tiedfor high scorers on Williams, eachmaking seven points. However, Sys-ko played the best game of the eve-ning, being responsible for five pointsand displaying some fine defensivework against a man who was almosttwice his size.

GUESTS' ENTRANCE

ON SATURDAY, the second of May, the Institute will hold

its annual Open House Day, during which no effort is

spared in presenting a m.aximum of the technical and research

activity that is carried on within these walls. For an entire

afternoon and evening every department of the school cur-

riculum will offer exhibits of the most interesting sort, Walker

Memorial will house the undergraduate activities' exhibits,

and the dormitories, along with all other divisions of the In-

stitute's plant, will be thrown open to the world at large.

Needless to state, there must be a tremendous amount of

preparation for this occasion. Corporation and Faculty

members who are -connected with the operation of the Open

House Day, along with Robert Backus '31, who, as president

of the Combined Professional Societies, acts as the student

representative, have for weeks been making preliminary ar-

rangements, and at present the plans are rapidly approaching

finality.The ultimate good that is derived from such a function is

inestimable. Technology is, more than most students realize,

the scene of a great quantity of scientific activity. As one

of the foremost engineering institutions in the world, it may,

through an intricate display of its integral parts and its vast

field of accomplishments, contribute not only to the ever in-

creasing'reputation of the -school, but actually instruct and

educate those who attend.

"These manufacturers deserve un-doubtedly t he greatest praise a nd t he

at s uch hig h speeds is certainly ta k-ing a great risk, but after all isn'tlife all luck. I always trust to luck.

I have no misgivings whatsoever,whe n I got into the ca r before my try

fo r the reco rd, e xcept I did wonderwhether the parts o f the car would

stand the strain.Car Brought from England

"The important thing was that theracing machine ha d bee n built over

4000 miles away o ver in E ngland a nc d

then brought over all that distancejust to be run for three minutes dow n

the Daytona sands. T here is no suit-able place in England to try out a carlike this. So you can very well -under-

stand why I might have expjerienceda little nervous strain w hen I got into

it, not knowing whether all the partswould o-ordinate as they were

planned to."Captain Campbell says that he en-

joys racing. It is his hobby, abound-ilig in pleasure and fun. He has mademany acquaintances . through this

source, and lie continues, "I have metnianly fine friends, especially in the

U nited Staies which I have visitedtwice for the purpose of bettering thespeed record. This second visit has

been most deliglhtful, and I sincerelyhope that when an American comesto England lie is treated as well as

I ha- ve been in both mny trips to the

United States."

SANITARY DRINKINGFOUND TO BE COSTLY

But Do Students or UniversityBear Greater Expense?

Drinking at the University of Co-lurnbia is done oln a sanitary but ratherexpensive basis. There are doubtsamong the students of that institu-tion as to whom this expense falls

upon. By devious calculations theyfigure that they are getting theirdrinks, water at that, too dearly, but

they are entirely wrong.Expense oll part of the students lies

in the price of ciups, which are the en-tire sanitary feature of the Columbiafountain system. To obtain a drink

one lnust purchase one of these clipsfor a penniy. But the university pays

only half a cent for a cup. Seeminglyit makes nioney by this method.

Going still further into figures, inone year 30,000 cups are used, which

at the prices stated above costs $1,500lalnd bring s in $3,000. Obviously 100

per cent. profit! But as it happens 30,-

000 cups (do not meall 30,000 pennies,for it is a very common and likewise

natural plactise to distribute about a

dozeit drinks among a group of boyswith one solitary and, after a while,

lealky cup. In fact many a cup ma-chine has been found dry as a desert

and only one penny in the receptacle.It is sometimes possible to extract lots

of cups with one cent.No Profiteering

And to continne the proof that Co-lunibia University is not profiteering,one is reminded that the water is keptin coolers which need from fifty to one

hundred poundds of ice a day, depend.insg ol the temperature; there are at

least a dozen coolers about the cani-pus. This ice is valued at about $600-about twenty cents per cooler a day

for six days a week for forty weeks.

Besides all the above comes the la-bor of por ters to keep the coolers

filled with water and ice and also thecost of repairs. To sum up, the uni-

versity does not make money oln the

drinking clps, "quid est demonstran-(htlln."

KEY SOCIETY DANCESET FOR TOMORROW

If as large a crowd attends the bas-

ketball game tomorrow night as were

present at the Newport game on the

(late of the last Beaver Key Society

dance. it will be advisable to get to

the game early, for there wasn't even

standing room in the rear of the

.gym. Tomorrow night is the date of

the second of these popular dances.Art i~Marshall and his ten piece or-

clhestra will begin to play immediatelyafter the game in the Main Hall of

WValker Memorial and will continue

. till 12 o'clock. Tickets are on sale,t and may be obtained from any member- of the Society or at the door.

Austin jokes have even gone up tothe University of Toronto it seems.

r tempted to take a bantam car into the

physics lab to illustrate the law of lost

motion when the professor interfered.They left it unceremoniously on the

If you happen to see a rather scho-arly looking young woman rummagin-around one of Boston's better know-

Each year all of twenty thousand visitors inspect the In-stitute on this occasion, and each year the program is more

elaborate and the field closer to completeness. From all in-

dications the 1931 Open House Day will be still more com-

prehensive, and its organizers will receive the rewards which

they so justly merit.

"WHEN GOOD FELLOWS GET TOGETHER"

jT HAS been repeatedly stated that one of the most valuable

attributes of a college education is the companionships

which are made during the undergraduate years. The

various Technology Alumni Associations are contributing

something more to this attribute, by fostering a continuance

of student friendships and by the constant adhering to the

traditions of the Institute.For years the Alumni of Technology have been actively

engaged in the widespread organization of these associations,

and at present there are several hundred each in some rep-

resentative city of the United States. Practically all are

operating successfully, and can deservedly boast of the vast

number of interested former students who have enlisted in the

membership. The function of such organizations is of infinite

value to the Institute, especially since they tend to hold the

interest of the graduates in their Alma Mater, and since they

represent a body of men who may be depended upon to sup-

port and inspire the progress of Technology's purpose andplant.

The conscientiously loyal undergraduate may be grateful

that he does not sever his affiliations with the actual spirit

of Technology when he leaves the buildings on the Charles.

He will find that as he follows his career he can continue his

association with the Institute and, at the same time, make

new and valuable acquaintances. The Technology Alumni

Latest Feat Held No ThrillsFor Malcolm Campbell

Of England

"A uto racing is a hobby which for

me is full of fun and nerve-rackingonly wrhen I have to drive a car which

has never been tested at high speedlbefore," was the surprising statementmade by Captain Malcolm Campbell,famous British speed king and holder

of the world's record which he re-cently captured at Daytona Beach bydriving over the sands at 245 miles

an hour, in an interview granted to

a reporter of the "P rincetonian."A fter his experiences during the

last war, iin which he served as anaviator, Captain Campbell maintains

tlat lie gets little thrill from his speedon [lie earth's surface. He says, "Mycareer on the track began in 1.905

and has held my interest ever since.

Duriiingt the war I wvas an aviator, and

s ;o with suich a past how could I everexperience any thrills at going 245mliiles an hotir just last week dlown

in Florida?"Has No Thrills

The fam ous driver of super-cars con-tinued, "There have never been any

thrills for me in racing, even at high

speed. If I have had any I coufldn'tpoint out when and where I experi-enced them. That is like asking me

which trophy I like best. There are

so many that I have won during all

these years that I couldn't possibly an-

swer which is worth the most to me."Captain Campbell went o0] to say

that every race driver must have some

determination. Without it lie would

niot -et anywhere in .the game.Only 25 per cent of the credit should

go to the driver of the automobile that

breaks a speed record, said this vel;-

oran of the track. "Tweiity-five per

cent should go to the mechanics who

put all tlleir efforts into the colnstrue-

tion of the car, a sreal deal to the of-ficials wlio promote tlhe attempt to

break the 'world's record, anid then

stevedore beneath half a ton of cargo.who is responsible for his death? Oi '

of rope gives muich better service than

others. hlow is tbe user to know the

aianufacturer's nan(.'?Formerly, the task of marking 2'ope

in a permanent. distinctive, an(d, as is

sometimes desirable. secret mauner,was practically impo:;sible. Now, how.ever. throu,, a process recently de-

veloped in the Teclhnologly laborator-ies, rope can be marked easily in a

way which embodisa. all these charac-

teristics.Problem Given Institute

Several la.rge cordage companieslaid the problem before the Divisionof Industrial Co-operation and Re-search, alnad they. in turn, passed the

project on to Prof. Ernest H. Huntressof the Or.aric Chemistry Department.It was Prof. Huntress, who, actingupon su;ggestions front many collab-

orators. finally perfeted the process.It is 1)ased up!)n the well known

chief one being, that they are not per-

manent and that they are not at all

secret. Also, the numl)er of distinctivecombinations is quite limited. The newln'ocess is o)en to none of these objec-

tions.Uses Treated Fibers

In manufacture. a small strand offiber is treated with the marking com-

po/ind and is twisted into the rope.Buried deeply in the middle of the fi-

ber, it is protected from the dirt and

grease which quickly obscure the pres-

ence of other means of identification.Using two or more together makespossible a great many distinctive color

combinations. while the marking sub-stances theemselves, being fortunatelyall of a light straw color, are scarce.

ened room, the marking stands oiit in

brilliant color. Each manufactureremploys a different distinctive combi.

nation of colors, and by this meanseach company's product may be readi-ly identified.

Regarding Popular SoftDrink Consumption

A recent investigation at Emory asto tie amount of Coca-Cola consumeedby the students at that school has ledto some very interesting facts; name-ly, that nine hundred and ninety-three,bottles are consumed dlaily,. or 28,110b~ottles each month.

In the light of these facts the say-ing "We are raised on Coca-Cola . . ."is not so fari from wr1mong after' all.This amount of Coca-Cola means thaton the average every student at Em-or1y drinks eight-tenthis of a bottleevery day, including Sunday.

If the Emorites consented to pour,out their daily imbibing on tie campunof that college for a period of l enyears there -would be created a pondtwenty-five feet deep. twenty-five feel:wvide and two huntdred and1 fifty feetlong'. a veritable lake. The annualcost to the students for this soft dhrinkanlounts to $16,266. This amount inall increase of $3,000 over last ylearl.

If the total number of bottles tllatwvere emptied yearly at Emory werep~laced end to end they would form aline forty-six miles iii length. Thesefiguires were compiled fr-omn the Yvari-oMs soda dispensaries serving- thestudntels.

Congress at Portsmouth and made aspecial study of the labor situationin connection with the strikes of thattime. He revisited the devastatedarea of France, and the students ofthe ruined University of Louvain inBelgium. He made a study of studentconditions in Germany and Austriaafter the War, holding conferenceswith the students of the University ofBerlin. In Czechoslovakia he con-ducted the first student conference inthat new republic, five hundred yearsafter John Huse, the rector of theUniversity of Prague, was burned atthe stake.

Army Pilot WillSpeak To A. E. S.

In W alker TonightCapt. John P. Richter First

Man To Make RefuelingConnection

Capt. John P. Richter, who holdsthe distinction of being the first manto complete a refueling connection in-midair between two aeroplanes, willaddress the members of the Aeronauti-cal Engineering Society at a smokertonight at 7:30 o'clock in NTorth Hall,Walker. Capt. Richter is an armypilot, and will have much of interestto recount from his regular line ofduty as well as from the feat he per-formed seven years ago.

It was in 1923 in California thatCapt. Richter originated the practicewhich has indefinitely prolonged thelength of continuous flight. He madethe refueling contact in a DH 4B planeto demonstrate the possibility of ac-complishing this act in the air ratherthan with any idea of endurancelights.

Word has been received that theA. E. S. glider has been licensed un-dler the Massachusetts Aviation reg-ulations. Tlere will be a discussionof flight training at the meeting anda new schedule of construction willbe planned for building the newglider. One wing has been completedand the necessary plywood for theleading edge is awaited.

The A. E. S. extends a cordial inri-tation to the members of the societyand their guests to attend the smoker

Bell System service is custom-made. Each ofthe 65,000,000 telephone calls handled in theaverage day must meet the exact wishes ofthe person making the call.

Telephone men study a customer's com-munication needs, then advise the type ofequipment that fits them best. For depart-ment stores they may recommend the "orderturret"--a special switchboard for takingorders by telephone. Thus they enlarge the

store's service and simplify ordering for thecustomer. They develop equipment and plansfor brokerage houses, police departments,nation-wide sales forces - and all manner ofbusiness firms.

The telephone industry continues to growby fitting its service more and more com-pletely to the user's needs. For men withinsight and the ability to coordinate, theopportunity is there!
