"A Junior Prom Saga" decorates

the 1oth page, done in old style with

"Phosphor Essences", those col-unmns of quips inspired by newspaper

Reviewer Refuses ToaCommit Self And

Satisfy The T.E.N.

Articles Institute Written,Junior and Freshman

Among Authors

T. E. N. would like us, we think, tostart our review in this manner: to-morrow heralds the appearance of theMarch issue of the Tech EngineeringNews, and many interesting features

are provided for the reader. But no good reviewer can commit himself to that extent without really believing what he is saying. We don't believe we can go quite that far for the her- t

alded Marchl issue.KThe magazine this month is prae t

tically home Rwritten. Of the five arti-cles two are student creations, tw( t

are by members of the faculty, and the remaining one was written at Harvard. All of the articles are to a too grreat degree expository, but they are all well done, so the single tone which the magazine bears through the f-whole of its pages is not disagreeable.

Perhaps the stories which were written bay the students will interest the general reader to the greater de-gree. The first, written by Louis C.Smith, '36 tells about 'the daily lifeeof four youths, "isolated for the -winter on the summit of frigid Mt. Washington." (Quotation marks -arefor emphasis; wve don't thinkc you will find the quoted wfords anywhere in T. E. N.). The story is interesting andl informative-what especially in- gterested us as new wvas the descrip- P<tiOnl of the horizontal icicles which -|one finds aft the top of the mountain.-but there is not enough to it, the imaterial is too new spaperish, and not EWat all what one has a right to expect PiT. E. N. to publish. C,

The othier student-written article is by Gordon K. Burns, '34. KnowingEGordon ]Burns' qualifications by rea-son of previous experience, wne expect-ed an excellent and w ell balancedpiece of literary work when we readhis name on the title page. Our onlyexplanation of what we found in thepages of T. E. N. is that Mr. Burnswas in great haste when he created ithe thing. W~e -wfill grant that the ark ti-icle, whicle is about the mechanical :telepholle exclhange, is interesting.P7,}that it is lucidly -s ritten, but not that O,-

it fulfills our expectations. It startsDIas a ",4.i(l-you-ever-stol)-to-thiink<"Astory. Thenl it goes on only to stop to fl9,

.The Tech Show boys, guessing cor-rectly that we have a soft place fortheir enterprise were all over the lottoday, telling us about all the thingsat the rehearsal.,From the way things have been go-ing, it looks as if they have the properleading lady, all right. Li:ttle "Taffy"Emery wrill I-ave to be renamed-

";the darling of the Sigma Chi's". Thestory goes quite sensationally, but of

course, you won't have to take it allin.

First the lads went to the broad-eastillg station for a skit and later onto the dorm dance, "Tuffy"- staying

right by his rmake-up all the while.Paul Liappe did the honors as escort,and whether or not this was respons-

ible for Tuffy's success, we cannot say.However, in spite of it all, Emery

was introduced as Miss Oglethorpe tothe boys, and did it go over ? Evenhis own fraternity brothers werewhirled around the floor for a turn or

two, and none the wiser they.The crews boys were sicked on the

shrinking violet, and they fell for the

tout ensemble. We understand thatpoor little Turff even had to battleoff a few insistent off ers for a quiettalk in the lounge. Well, Tuff~y, op-portunity k~nockis but once.

The climax of it all came when hiso-ven room-mate is alleged to havebeen misled by the adroit disguise,but w7Xe're beginning to think it's alla publicity stmllt.

In -spite of the genius of our friendthe emnoter, wxe see ahead one futurenot so appealing to the aesthetic soul,although, from the engineer's hard-boiled point of vriew,- it might be quitea~ll right. From the way the windblowts now, it looks as if there mightbe a good future for Emery in thebearded ladye bushiess.

With shoutings and hullabaloos the£-lreat day approaches. Manyv bustling sin1,1 hurrvins,-s disturb the re-ularswvingings of the trapeze artists in tlebeclfry of Walker, as the statue handsandl Lappe shout back andl forth ato)ne another. Julst what is to evolvecan be guessed by a -short look at thestagings and curtains and gadgetsthat arise from wblat once was a penfectly good gymnasium floor.

The other ilight tragedy stalksedatmidst thle company. The lusts of thetPes) 'have been too strong for one of)ur lesser known Juniors. Thlis one isTowle, Warren Towle, to be exact,w ho has anxiously watched over asmall hirsute crop on the manly chest,these many years.

U p to this time, his has been an'lllDxious vigil wxithl not too much toshows for the watchful waiting, butalas, Fate, in the form of LangdonMatthews has intervened. A last min-ute change of costume necessitatesthe use of the razor on his pet, hisdarlinig, llis brain child. Alas!

Nows it xsould seem that these mis-wvhelpedl devils leave taken to scoffingat Tile Techl. And so there wvill appear(no wle -Xvon't tell you the story) oilthe stage, a scene in whlich a rmons-trous (in size only ) page of this paperis shown. One of the headlines, wse aretold further, r eads, "Phosphorus D~e-gret-, Broodl.'

As usual, wee reply in the .scathingzforni, wzishing that Phosphlorus mightbe kept in nights instead of roamingthe filthy alleys, or perhaps that's toomuch to ask of Bill Mills.

And so the scene closes, the -stagehalf erected, Moody and H~itchcockscrambling madly underfoot and over-llead, dropping ropes and things uponlthe hapless actors, the awhile Bill(Profanity) Green scream-sl mad~lyand ineffectually for order in thechaos of production.|

A Recordof ContinuousMews Seruicz for

Over Fifty Years

While safely ensconced behind aladly of generous propor tions, onemorning recently, it was Dur painfulfate to observe a gentleman of ouracquaintance, comporting, himself in amanner which the famous Emily Postwould not have classified as the properprocedure for gentlemen on trolleys.

The above mentioned gentleman, ofSouthern extraction, was seated some-what to our Northeast on the outsideof one of those -seats which the"Bestrwy" claims will seat two.Slightly to his left were standing sev-eral ladies of not altogether displeas-ing mien.

To our horrified amazement thisgentleman instead of demonstratingthat spirit of true chivalry for whichthe South is justly known, merely bur-ied his countenance more deeply in hisnewspaper and appeared totally un-awxare of the presence of then afore-mentioned females.

To say that we were flabbergastedwould be stating the case mildly, veryrmildly. It weas formerly our belief,since so sadly corrected, that at leastthere was a remnant of that thingwhich causes a man to leap to his feetat the sight of a woman standing in astreet car, left in those representa-tivres of plantations and mint juleps.

As may be surmised our object herehas not been to decry the practice ofobtaining a seat in the street car andIholding onto it, but rather has it beenour desire to mark the passing of theenterprising spirit of chivalry, whichhas for -so long characterized thatland of "How all you-alls".|

MYHAT REACTIOIN?ENGRWOSSED in our banking situation and speculating on its

Ecourse and outcome, we have forgotten the plight of the Ger-man nation. Our difficulties are not fundamzental; our governmenthas not been endangered nor ourl system menaced. But in Ger-many the Rvepublicall flag- has been hauled down to be replaced baythe imperial colors and the Nazi's swastika. All anti-H~itlerites arebeing terrorized and liberty of speech, press, and assembly force-fully suppressed. Even Americans have complained of maltreat-ment at the hands of the Nazis.

It is true that the Hitler regime obtained its power legally inthe last election but obtained it under conditions of intiinidationand force which cannot be overlooked. It is also true that the sig-nificance of the Hitler vote dwindles when one recalls that Hitlerpromised to retain powers regardless of the election results. Thestay-at-home vote was called out as the danger of civil war becameappar ent.

As we observe the H~itlerite policies we wonder whether suchactivities wsill successfully intimidate warrling elements in thleGerman nation or whether they will serve to kindle elemlents hlere-tofore Uwaveri-ng. If there is any strength or union left in theGernna~n rnalsses, a counter-movemenelt seems inlevitabole.

iP'LENTY OFE EtAXRDX IORK

l CTITH almost insurmountable dlifficullties looming up like aIVe bleak wall, the managers and performers of Tech Show haveknuckled down and after two months of preparation are readywitll this year's production, "Fancy That". Rigrht from the startthey were met with discouragement. There was a strong- feelin-against its revivification.. In order to obtain the sanction of theInstitute Committee, they were forced to raise a bonrd coveringtulle a-mount of their budoget. Eacn performer was required to postfive and the management ten dollar bonds. With over one hundreddollars shortage, two of the mana-ers, Paul Lappe and Harold Ri.Bellinson, signed notes for the remainder. Expecting to give itsbig- performance on the -night of the Junior Prom, the Show re-ceived a decided setback when the Prom Committee refused topermit the ulse of Walker Memorial on their night.

From watching the chorus caper about in the Walker gymand seeing the leading lady go unrecognized for a good part of thedormitory dance Friday night, we acre sure the performances willb~e excellent. Over the radio, on the same night, the orchestradisplayed a finished rhythm in the musical numbers.

Tickets sales, from the latest reports, are well over the ex-penses already. Its outstanding success is directly the result ofcareful and courageous management. It has taken quite someplanning- and plenty of good hatfd work. The principals are to becongratulated and shoulld be rewarded by- the full suppor't of thestudent body.

Often lab~oring under the most ad\versecollditions, the men played tllrough a ha'-il schedule and emergedwith one of the bdest records ill Newl Englandc, and the best in theGrea'er Boston regidon. In addition, two Technology men wereselected for the Bostonl Trallscript's all-star team.

Whrlen the handicaps, to high athletic attainments at an eno-i-neerina school like the Institute are considered, the feat seems allthe mor e notewor thy. Tile outstanding char actei istic of the teama'sp~lay was the ability and stamina to come through with v7ictoriesin closelyt-contestedo gam'es. Statistics show that of the Encrineers'ten triumphls. only three were won by5 a margin of tent or morepoints, while six were achieved with three points or less to spare.Thle team and the coach are to be congratulated for the fightingospiri't which call ied them throughl to such a creditable showing.

Now- to go on as we are sure T. E.N. editors like us to.

The two hundredth- anniversary ofthe birth of Joseph 7-riestley is theoccasion of an article by Dr. TenneyL. Davis of the Chemistry Depart-ment, who reviews the tumultuous lifeof the "firebrand philosopher" and ex-amines his theories.

The two remaining articles we willnot give space to. One is about oxy-gen, the other about astronomy, bothare interesting, but there is no needto comment on them at length.

FINE ARTSIn response to numerous requests,

the Fine Arts Theatre is presentingthe Russian dramatic photoplay,"Potemkin", which was directed bySergei Eisentstein. Lean, high strung,this strange story of the birth of arevolution is told with a power of sim-plicity that pins the interest and gripsthe emotion. Specifically, it deals withthe mutiny of the sailors aboard theRussian warship "Potemkin".

As a co-feature, Prof. Ivan Pavlov'sphysiology research work based on thereflex actions of the brain, "Mechanicsof the Erain" is being shown to thegeneral public. This was the workthat was exhibited to Technology aweek ago. On the whole, the perform-ance is well balanced.

The smallest class in the Universityof W. Va., is a course in experiment-al pathology given to one student.

Under the auspices of the Institute

Saturday afternoon ffrom 3:30 to 6:30

o'clock in the Main Hall of Walker

Memorial, as the crowning feature of

Junior Week. All students and facultymembers are invited to attend thisdance, without charge, all expensesbeing defrayed by the Institute.

The Corporation affair has been anannual event for a number of years,having missed only once, last year,when the Corporation did not havesufficient funds to give the function.

sulted from the interference of -a re-flected with a fundamental wase.

If light waves Invere many timeslonger, one could see around a cornea-,Professor Sears declared. Their mi-nute size, however, prevents theirbending more than an infinitestimalamount around the edges of an obsta-cle. Sound waves, being comparative-ly long, are diffracted to a corres-pondingly greater degree.

The blue color of the sky was at-tributed to the tendency of lightwaves to be scattered by dust parti-

cles and air molecules, and transmit-ted to the earth. Blue waves scattermore easily than those of other colors,and in tlhe tremendous distance lightfrom the setting sun must travel be-fore it is transmitted from the air tothe earth, most of the blue waves arescattered out, leaving yellow whichgradually turns to red.

The atomic theory of a few yearsago of ball-like electrons whirling around a positive nucleus has beengenerally superseded, Professor Sears-said, by a conception of electrons vi-brating about the nucleus in the rnaii-ner of a -iolin string. He predictedthat the theory of the wave-nature of 1matter will play a vital part in the A;

future of physics.

present a talk. Dean Harold E. Lob-dell and other members of the facultywrill also be present.

At the luncheons, to which twelvehundred commuters have been invit-ed, men will be asked to Join theCommuters' Association and futureplans of the organization will be dis-cussed. Men who are interested in or-ganizing local clubs in the variousdistricts will indicate this along withother information onl cards which willbe distributed. The purpose of boththe -main association and the districtclubs is to interest commuters in ac-tivities and to enable them to meettheir fellows.

If the meetings next Wednesdayand Thursday are successful, lunch-eons will be held every week at thesame time. The committee -who haveplanned the luncheons desire that allcommuters attend one of the firstmeetings this week. Fraternity menwill not be considered commuters.

A plan similar to that outlinedabove has recently been suggested forHarvard. The essential purpose is thesame as at the Institute: to give thecommuters so~me of the college lifewhich their formerly lacked.

The results of the freshmen's show |ing give the varsity team high hopesfor the comning years. AlthoughBoyman was out most of the year be-cause of illness, be won both bouts heentered, in dual meets and handilywvon the freshman 135-pou-nd title bya fall.

Although inexperienced, Henshaw~has come through his first year ofwrestling very successfully in the175-pound class. His winning of thefreshman title by a fall over Smithof Tufts, makes him an outstandingcandidate for the now vacant 175-pound position on next year's varsityteam. Craig had to enter the conso-lation bout handicapped with an in-jured knee which he had received inthe preliminary, but won in spite ofit to take second place. Both Georgeand Arnold showed up well in captur-ing seconds.

MILLIKEN PICKED TO tLEAD HOCKEY TEAM t

Stat Goaltender Is Elected To v,Succeed Captain Hrones

FUirank Roscoe Milliken, Jr., '34, waslast Thursday elected captain of the v~arsity, hockey team for the 1933-1934Kseason. Milliken, star goalie of the Beavers, wzas one of the two men on .the team to receive straight T's this l.

Hrlones, wdho w~as a regular defensemall until he was injured late in the(season.

Mtilliksen saw his first playing in organized hockey as a freshman at E

the Institute. In that year he did notcome out for hockey until the middle of the season, but he developed so rapidly that by the end he was regu-]lar goalie. Last yrear as a sophomorehe alternated at goal for the varsity w~ithl Don Whiston, a senior.

This year he was regular goalie and played in every game. His goal- te-ndin-g sas the feature of all other-wnise rather unsuccessful season, and]sports wmiters in all the metropolitannewspapers commented on his stella-_performances. It was due very ma-,terially7 to llis efforts that Technologydid as well as it did against strong connpetitionl..

Captain Milliken will have an all-veteran team -with him, next year, as

there are no seniors on the team this

year. With such goal-tending as he

displayed ands w5ithl many very capable

pulayer s in the line-lap, the Beavers

should fsale niuch better next winterthan ther (lid this season.

"Thlis year, every effort was madeIto C'lt expenses to an absolute mini-

and effolt into the production."In respect to the student body

Lappe said. "I Should advise -all stud-

eints planning to see the show to make

arrangements for tickets immediately,because the hall's limited capacityleav es a relatively small number of

seats available. Liberal credit will beextended where desired."

presided, and plans and schedules forthe coming season were announced.With a number of other men knownto be coming out later on, the pros-pects for the season look particularlybright.

The players were informed of sev-eral changes in the rules of the game.The field has been shortened from 120yards to 80; there will be four fifteen-minute quarters instead of two thirty-minute halves, and there will be tenmen instead of twelve. These changesare calculated to make the game morelively and more interesting from thespectators' point of view.

In spite of the early date, the firstpractice of the season will be held to-morrow, starting at four o'clock if theweather permits.
