DIr. Rowle Spealis For 3IInaffersHaN-in~l extended a welcome to th;

new lelael as potential alumni, D.Rowe pointed out that the Institutepossesses a unique system of managing athletics. Believing that the u-dergraduates can use their Own initia.tive, the Institute lets them managetheir own affairs, and complete con-trol of the finances is placed in theirhands, he said.

Though teams are developed forwholesome competition, the intangiblebenefits of character building andfriendship making are consideredparamount to the success of thoteamis. Dr. Rowue concluded "theplaying of the game is a far moreimportant thing than the winning orthe losing of the ganme."

The second speaker, A. W. K. Bill-ings, a member of the Advisory Boardon publications, emphasized the bene-fits of participating in publications."In these days of depression," hestated, "professional men have beenhard hit, and the experience obtainedfrom -ork on one of these outsideactiv-ities can be invaluable aftergraluation." It has often happened.he 2nentioned, that the avocations ofmen at Technology have later becometheir real vocations.

t-~~W .Today, while opening his volumin-ous fan mail, the Lounger found apostmark from South Dakota and thefollowing charming little expressionof appreciation, written by Hiram E.Beebe, Class of 1910 and now Vice-President of the Bank of Ipswich,South Dakota:."Your writing . .. was very muchenjoyed. I always thought this col-umn was written by one of the Eng-lish Professors . .. ."Later -

Your column again appears inTECH and perhaps the above surmisewas correct."

There is just one small puzzlingfeature about this. Should the lastpart of the above be read -" . . . andperhaps the above surmise was cor-rect.", or "1 . . . and perhaps the abovesurllise wLas correct."

And then there is this matter ofconfusing the Lounger with an Eng-lish professor. Damned with faintpraise, that's us.

Have you heard what happened toEly Culbertson in Bagdad? He hadto make a grand salaam to the Sul-tan. Very insultan' person, this Cul-bertson, but we suppose he bridgedall the gaps. Suggested picture:-Edly Culbertson bridging a gap.

All Tech Smoker NotesAnd the feminist movement goes on

and on. The All-Tech Smoker invadedby coeds - that sacred stag gracedby women students and one a blondeat that. What is this 'Stute comingto? Mat-ter of fact, though, theyaren't bad numbers. Doc Tryon'staste is certainly improving. And theylook as though they will date like aChesterfield. Upperclassmen, stakeyour claims ! But Lounger warns you,keep away from the one he has spiked.

The girls were even seen to jointhe dart throwing, whereby the froshworked off the toxic effect of brotherBridges' mneal. In fact even Bill(Greene, most austere and dignifiedmember of the Faculty, was seen totoss a few in the midst of the fury.

A. W. K. Billings gave THE TECHa nice hand -thank you -. He ex-plained for the doubting that Voo Dooreally is humorvoous -a point open asa question of fact.

Marc Anthony Greene waxed face-tious about the wanton Tech Show, now deceased, and the blonde coedblushed. ( She'll get calloused aftera few months in Bill's E-11 class).

T--.ibby, of "marry the boss'sdaughter famne", explained for the in-nocent frosh the true significance ofthe murals on the walls of Walker.The principal mural is the Faculty-,with a few stenographers xvho slippedinto the picture. Stenos are alwvayssslipping-in one way and another. Themural on the left as one pays thecashier is the Walkier kitchen dealingout the spaghetti - to the right isrepresented the Republican partyr be-ing led into the wilderness by the de-pression, "You will -note that the de-pression has lost its shirt".

Registration InMilitary ScienceHolds Proportion

Basic Course Affected Most bythe Depression. R. O. T. C.

Units Show Small Loss

Comparison of the figures givenTHE TECH by Captain Craw~ford M.Kellogg of the Department of MilitaryScen>ce with the Institute enrollmentfigures (printed in last Friday'sTECH) shows that registration inmilitary courses has fallen off in amanner corresponding to the decreasein the number of students at the In-stitute.

The most serious losses occurred inthe two years of the basic course, thatis, in the freshman and Sophomoreyears. The registration of Sopho-mores in 1931 was 528, of freshmen,5031. Corresponding figures for thepresent term are 474 and 494. TheSophomore loss is 54 and the fresll-man 37. The losses are approximate-ly in the ratio, 136 to 66; these figuresrepresenting the drop in the totalregistration of the Sophomore andfreshman classes, respectively.

Junior Registration IncereasesThe losses in RE. O. T. C. courses,

although distributed in a completelyirregular manner, are essentially ofthe same nature. For instance, thoughthe registration of Juniors in the ad-vanced courses actually rose by five,a loss of 18 Seniors compensates. Thegains and losses in the individualcourses are -not sufficiently large to bereliable for comparisons.

In 1931 no Juniors were allowed toenlist in the air corps because thecourse was to be discontinued. Thisyear Congress permitted the continu-ance of the course. and at the requestof the Institute it was reopened here.

Changes In StaffIncidentally there have been several

changes in the personnel of the de-partment during the summer. Lieu-tenant-Colonel Robert Arthur has re-placed Major Peter H. Ottosen inchart e of the Coast Artillery UJnit.IMajor Ottosen is atSchool in charge of-unit there.

To thle Editor of THE TECH:Passport size diplomas are a seri-

ous business' the distinguished editorof Voo, Doo, to the contrary notwith-standing. Mr. Henry will soon, I hope,reach that age at which he can regis-ter to cast his vote in national elec-tions. When he does, he is going tofind himself in the predicament Ifound myself shortly after graduatingfrom DI. 1. T. I was requested toeither go to a school a mile away totake a literacy test, or to produce mycollege diploma. I kidded the regis-tration officials a bit, to get them torelent, but they maintained in all seri-ousness that it was necessary to pro-duce the- two square feet of parch-ment if I wanted to vote for (oragainst) Jimmie Walker. And dig itout of the trunk I did.

The American College at Beirut inSyria, uses the passport type of di-ploma as do other foreign schools andit proves quite convenient to gradu-ates of Beirut who come to an Ameri-can college and are required to pro-duce credentials. In applying forpositions I halve several times beenasked to produce a certified trans-cript of my record at the diff erentcolleges I have attended. Instead ofa mass of large photostats this couldwell be an insert in the pocket sizediploma folder. Sooner or later Ameri-can colleges will follow the leadershipof the European colleges in this re-gard. Why shouldn't M. I. T. be one

AGAIN this year freshmen in the Dormitories are required torender certain services to upper classmen. Rules issued to

the new men include that they shall keep a supply of nickels, speakto everyone, and run not more than one errand an evening. Inaddition to these little things performed for second, third andfourth year men, they must obey certain other ultimatums of theFreshman Dormitory Committee: they must not wear prep schoolathletic insignia, they must learn cheers and as if that were noten~ough, they must have green cards on their doors.

Supposedly the Institute is a place where men come to work,not where boys spend their time at play. The object of any set offreshman rules should be to bind, together the incoming class sothat they may get to know one another and work together f or theirfour years at the Institute. With this in mind, it seems that therules laid down by the Freshman Dormitory Committee are in-tended to mnake sport of the incoming freshmen rather than to aidthem in becoming a more useful part of the undergraduate body.Sulch rules seem childish, puerile, useless. Making a man keepnickels is on the same plane with making him keep matches f orSenior s or wvith prohibiting new men from sitting on certain steps.If there is a purpose in it, that purpose is well hidden.

- ~~~~REINCARNATICATNTHE Egyptians held to a belief that after death the spirit re-turns to this earth in another form, perhaps ill the body of a

lower animal. Modelrn civilization, how~ever, has improved onthis. Instead of coming back in a new f ormn each timde, the newnversion returns annually in the same form.

~~< ~Conditions in any field of endeavor become almost intolerable;- ~there follorvs warm. discussion and argument about what can be* ~done to imlpr ove the pr esent way of doing things. Then the season

changes, arguments become less heated, and vanish altogether.XWhen a year later the conditions again arise, talk begins anew,

and the vre y same arguments and plans are presented. TheEcryptians were pikers. We not only have the spirit again but wehave the same form as well.

Sulch is the nature of discussion of fraternity rushing. Eachyeal dormitory men and fraternity men alike agree that condi-

-tions are develorable, f eeling rises to a high point with everyonedletermillec to do something about it. Rushing passes, classes

- ~comne, activities begin, and the whole matter is dropped till the f ol-lowing September. For a while those interested are concerned,

- ~but lno one ever does anlythin.g.Perhaps the reason -nothing it ever accomplished is that con-

ditions now are as good as they can be. Elaborate rushing rulesand restrictions have been tried in many colleges, and in generalthey- have failed. With such rules and deferred pledging the agonyof per~suadinlg freshmen to join the houses is only postponed untilafter classes begin. Instead of having the whole thing settled andalmost ov er when classes start, wve should be in the throes of rush-ing at a time when most men need to devote their energies tostudies.

If pledging were delayed till the second term, the fraternities,which occupy an important position in the housing of undergradu-ates, whould be burdened with the financial responsibility of oper-ating partially filled houses for the fall term. This is a factorwhich cannot be ignored in suggesting changes in rushing me-thods. Even were rushing postponed till after classes begin, ortill the second term, w~;ould the freshmen be able to decide more-wisely? It is open to question. Who would enf orce deferredrushing rules if we had them? Men are peculiar animals, and ex-perience at other schools indicates that after one or two or threeyears deferred rushing would exist in name only.

Perhaps after all our system, as bad as we all admit it to be,is as good as we can get. The purpose of rushing -is accomplished

c ~with dispatch, although the neatness may be lacking, and we arenot weighed down with an elaborate set of unenforeable rules.

During the ten days we were there,our principal recreations were hiking,rolling rocks over the cliffs, playingcards, cooking, and beard growing.Dr. Bennett cheated his way to vic-tory in the beard growing contest byadding dirt.

Greene Believes Tech Show Can

Be Exhumed

The next streakers Pr ofessor Wil-

liam C. Greene, rose alied hear.y-,

cheers and proceeded to put tle as-

sembly in gales of laughter wiithl a

dramatic "weeping over tile (tead body

of the old Tecl Show", as Professor

Rogers later expressed it. With re-

gard to the Dramashop lie told howv

his office had been intimately con-

nected with its inception, how the

Dramashop stands for the best in

Drama, and how it needs not only

actors but stage men and piano-

movers.

After a few words about the Musi-

cal Clubs, he reached the climax of his

dramatic talk with his lament over

the passing of "that noble wench,"

the old Tech Show, and said, "She

has been dead a year - the question

is, gentlemen, how rotten is she?"

Near the conclusion of his speech

he asserted, "If you are willing to

put a show on this platform; if you

are willing to write things that people l

might speak; . . . I feel sure that the

authorities can be seduced to allow

the Tech Show to be put on again."

Duncan, '33, and Bell, '34, Get

A^vards

After a brief period of professional

entertainment, Dr. Rowe made the

presentation of the key to Walker

Memorial to Richard L. Fossett, '33,

the president of the Senior Class.

Richard S. Morse, '33, president of the

Athletic Association, then presented

the Technique Cup to Richard Bell,

'34, as the outstanding track athlete

of last year's team, and the Schwartz

Medal to Walter R. Duncan, '33, as

the best of last year's managers.

Rogers Gets Big Laugh On Murals

Professor Robert E. Rogers, the

principal speaker of the evening, was

next introduced amid great applause

from the audience. At one point in

his talk he received a great response

from his listeners with his burlesque

on the murals in the hall.

He described the one entitled "Hu-

manity being led forward by Knowl-

edge" as "The Republican Party be-

ing led into the wilderness by the De-

pression". "The Depression", he added

"has, as you notice, lost its shirt."

Passing to a more serious vein, Pro-

fessor Rogers said that a statistical

study over a period of two years made

by Dean Harold E. Lobdell had defin-

itely proved that the groups of men

in the activities rank higher in schol-

arship than others.

At the conclusion of his speech, the

assembly made a tour of the activity

offices.
