Vinson W. Bronson-Transfer stu-dent; General MIanager DebatingSociety, Scabbard and Blade.Statement: "The Senior ,Class Presi-dent, when presiding over InstituteCommittee, must possess the abilityto appreciate both fraternity anddormitory viewpoints. In addition,he must also be able to commandthe respect of those over whom hepresides. Respect is given to thnosewho can work with others, who dopossess tact and self-control at alltimes. These qualities are gainedthrough experience. I have workedwith `many people both here and atRipon, and what success I havehad may be traced to la certain joyin being able to get along with myfellow men. In many instances,the actual ,braintrust of the groupwere the people who worked withme. But the success of the mostbrilliant plan is impossible unlessthe activities of the entire groupare coordinated and cordial rela-tions are maintained among mem-bers.

The above facts hold equally truefor Institute Committee. In addi-tion to the desire to maintain cor-diality and smoothness of opera-tion, I feel that the actions of In-stitute Committee, its purpose, andits duties, should be put before all

Students OpposgngStruik ProsecutionA resolution opposing the Massa-

chusetts Anti-ArLarchist Statute of1919 and protesting the prosecutionunder it of MJ.T. mathematics pro-fessor Dirk Strulik and Harry Win-ner as "unjust . . . opposed to ourConstitutional traditions and ... astep which threatens the free andopen exchange of ideas which is ,anessential part of the educationalprocess in a democracy," wasadopted by the annual New EnglandConvention of Students for Demo-cratic Action meeting on the cam-pus of Brandeis University, Satur-day.

The Convention also decided tourge all chapters to protest boththe law and the trial and to inviteProfessor Struik to address a meet-ing under the auspices of New Eng-land S. D. A.

The resolution, offered :by PhillipE. Villers, Harvard freshman, wasadopted following -a morning ses-sion which heard Richard ;. Axtand Leonard W. Levy, of the Bran-deis Social Science faculty, discuss"The Struik Case and Civil Liber-ties." This talk was preceded by adiscussion of the 1952 election byUnited Press Congressional Corre-spondent John Stele, a Nieman Fel-low at Harvard.

Another resolution adopted bythe delegates representing eightNew England college chapters cen-sured the action of Wayne Univer-

The system which was devised byProf. Moon and Prof. D. E. Spencerof Brown University is basicallysimple. Just those -fundamentalconcepts which do not introducemore complexities than their addi-tion justifies would be given newnames. These new names wouldbe required to have nonamibiguity,internationaiity, simplicity and eu-phony. By choosing words fromclassical Greek, the problem of in-ternationality and ambiguity wouldbe solved, for experience has shownthat many scientific words takenfrom anciernt CGreek. are acceptedby the entire scientific world. Suchwords would lack vague popularmeanings that rare ,afterwards con-fused with precise scientific mean-ings. Simplicity would be attainedby standardizing the endings sothat one ending would stand forper unit, another for per unitarea, etc.

Fbr example, Prof. Moon has pro-posed the Greek word kratLos to re-place force. Es arbitrary scheme

(Contfnued on Page 4)

"With the increased complexitiesof this modern world, there is noreason to make the learning ofits parts any imore difficult." Toeliminate some of the confusionthat has resulted from the use ofambiguous terms in Physics, Prof.Parry Moon of the ,Dept. of Electri-cal Engineering has for some timebeen advocating a new system ofnames for concepts, dimensions,and units. This new system, ifadopted universally, would promotemore exact bhinking and make thetranslation of technical papers aneasier chore.

Confusion On DefinitionsAbout one hundred years ago

when J. B. Mayer advanced thetheory of force conservation, hecaused quite a stir until it wasdiscovered that force to .him wasenergy to anyone else. Includedamong the most confusing is theconcept work which does not admitthat holding a ,brick out at arm'slength is work. Another morefamiliar cause for confusion is thesimple concept of weight which isactually a specd example offorce.

Facuhy FellowshipKevin A. Lynch, assistant pro-

fessor in the Department of Cityand Regional Planning, has beenawarded a 1952-53 Faculty Fellow-ship by the Ford Foundation's Fundfor the Advancement of Education.Two hundred forty-six college

teachers have received fellowshipsfor the next school year as part ofa program -for strengthening liberaleducation in United States colleges.According to Clarence H. Faust,president of the Fund, "'The FacultyFellowship Program is based on thebelief that a year devoted to study,research, observation or experi-rnent will renew and enrich the iu-tellectual lives of the recipients ofthe awards and help them to be-come better teachers of undergrad-uates."

an organization which shall co-ordinate and assist the under-graduate extra-curricular activitiesin order to help speed the opera-tion of student government, wereapproved by the Institute Commit-tee during its meeting last Wednes-day in Litchfield Lounge.

A motion to the effect thatFreshman Weekend in the fall of1953 be held at the Institute wasdefeated. However, Instcomm. ap-proved a motion that a committeebe set up to examine the operationand philosophy of the Open HouseRules and the house system of gov.-ernment in the dormitories.

The Secretariat, which will gointo effect April 9, 1952, will co-ordinate and assist the tundergrad-uate extra-curricular activities bymeans of an activity file; it is toconduct elections throughout theschool; to administer all Institutefacilities under the jurisdiction of

Fields Of EndeavorLUsted For $kudBents

Following is a tabulation of fieldsof concentration aJvailable underthe new humanities program, whichis to go into effect this fall. It in-cludes the combinations of -threesuubjects which may be taken lbyJuniors and Seniors without con-sulting a Humanities instructor, aswell as the list of distributionalsubjects. Outline of the new planappeared in last Tuesday's issue ofTHE TECH.

Enginer Needed,States Plcement

Professor Carleton E. Tucker,head of the Placement Bureau atthe Institute, revealed that he de-mand for engineers exceeds thesupply by three or four times. TheDivision of Industrial Cooperationreceives calls from six to eight com-panies daily in request for engi-neers.

While the number of graduatesin engineering is decreasing, thedemand is sharply increasing andit is likely that the situation -willexist for at least the next.few years.Heaviest in demand are mechanicaland electrical engineers. The fieldof electronics is clamoring, for mento work on computers and servo-mechanisms. There is also an ex-cessively large call for chemical en-gineers and iLdustrial engineers.

Some students have been reluct-ant to interview for jobs, since theyfeel that their first work aftergraduation will be in the army.Even though a student will receivea military commission wnen hegraduates, it -is recommended bythe Bureau .that he make arrange-ments about getting a job anyway,since he will in this way have some-thing to fall back on when he isreleased from service.

Dorm Weekend PricesAnnounced At LastCommi r ee eeting

George Fuld, '53, retiring socialchairman, announced the pricesfor Dormitoryt Week-end at theDonrm Comm. meeting last Mondaynight. The complete week-end

Resignation of George Fuld, '53,from the position of social chair-man was regretfully accepted.

Charles B. Johrson, Jr., '55, askedthat the results of the dormitorychairman elections be made public.Nicholas Melissas, '52, objected stat-ing that the release could serve nouseful purpose. Johnson withdrewhis action.

CLASS ELECTIONS: PLATFORM VS. PERSONALITYClass elections are four days off, and candidates' campaign

posters have filled the new bulletin boards for the first timesince they were erected.

About three score candidates are running for office, andit may be well at this point to take a look at the character oftheir campaigns.

A glance through the pile of nomination petitions showedup a fact of considerable interest. From among all the candi-dates, we could count on the fingers of one hand those who arecampaigning on a controversial issue.

The planks of the remaining platforms are far less in-flammable. Doubtless we all agree that a representative shouldstrive for class unity, for numerous and successful class func-tions, and that he should wage war against apathy and againstcontrol of Instcomm by minority interests. Little difference ofopinion is possible here. Most candidates know it and seek elec-tion on this basis.

So, in the end, the elections consist, on the one hand, ofthose who base their hopes of election on the stand that theytake on a controversial issue; and, on the other hand, of thosecampaigning on old and dependable issues and consequentlyrelying for election on their own experience and popularity.

Much good will it do us to be represented by a man whoruns on the platform, say, that all undergraduates at the Insti-tute should be made to go into dinner with a collar and tie, 'butwho has never so much asattended a debate. Much good willit do us to elect a candidate who favors an Institute pennant inevery room to promote school spirit, if the man cannot keep ameeting in order, or is incapable of making adequate arrange-ments for a class social.

There is nothing like a capable candidate with a soundissue. Bnt if we have to choose between a capable candidatewithout a controversial issue, and a controversial issue without acapable candidate, it is the former who merits our vote.

So, in Tuesday's election, let us judge our man on hispersonal merits. Let us go to the class forums to observe hisattitude as well as to hear his views. Let us beard him in hisden to evaluate his tastes, and to form an opinion of his outlookand character. Let us examine his petition and consider hisactivities record with critical attention.

And above all, let's cast that ballot. Abstention is a signof contempt for all the candidates. Voting is more than a right.It is an obligation.

The New Humanities Plan

IMPROVEMENT, WITH ROOM FOR SOME MOREThe reorganiation of third and fourth year humanities at

the Institute, approved last month by the Faculty, is a greatimprovement on the present plan.

Not only does it do away with the somewhat superficialinsight into a humanities field gained from two terms' study;it also avoids the pitfall of too intensive a study in any onehumanities field at the expense of the student's main courseat the Institute. At the same time a large increase in the num-b' her of subjects offered in each field eliminates a lack of free-dom of choice which was a principal defect of the old system.In addition, the rules governing choice of 3-term combinationsof subjects seem to be fairly flexible.

The next step should see E21 and E22 changed from acompulsory subject to an elective, and the extension of thenewly extended range of subjects to choice by Sophomores.The new program would thus consist of one 2-term combina-tion, one 3-term, and one distributional subject.

With so many new subjects offered, it is a pity that noeffort was made to set up a course in creative writing. Such acourse would be combined with writing in one of our under-graduate publications, with academic credit divided equallyamong the two to form one humanities course.

It was asserted, in the first place, that such a course was notfeasible economically. This we are in no position to debate.

Secondly, it was stated that the standard of our publica-tions was not high enough at present to justify such a plan.This, it seems to us, is not a reasonable attitude. It implies thatwriters on the publications must first improve the quality oftheir writing, after which the Institute would be willing to teachthem how to do it.

Academic credit for writing in our publications would im-prove their standard considerably. Coupled with classes increative writing, it would work wonders.

We earnestly hope that the School of Humanities and SocialStudies will see fit to re-examine its stand..

"This conference will discuss theeffects of atomic bombs and willoutline the most recent availableknowledge on the design of struc-tures for resistance to large blasts.It will include discussions of theimportant aspects of the economics

The Case of the

i THREE-CENT PATSY// Once there was a Senior who

/A faced the grim prospect ofGraduation. With Social Secaurity 42 years away, he recog.nized the need of a job.

So he burrowed manfullythrough Classified Sections, under "HelpWanted," in search of the Right Niche.Spotted it, too, one day. A honey. GoodMoney, the right field, nice location, pen-sions and benefits up to here. The ad askedfor Brief Histories from applicants.

So he wrote. Not cockily, but convincingly.A masterpiece that took four nights andfilled six pages -with. Deathless Prose. It leftno doubt that here was The Man for theJob. He slapped on a 3-cent stamp.P.S. -he didn't get the job. His epistlewound up as 334th in the pile, and they nevergot down that far. Hired one of the firsteight, as a matter of fact-all of whom hadEnough Brains to flash the Data by telegramand land on Top of the Heap. -nWhether you're canvassing Personnel Man-agers or just hooking up with a Hen BackHome, you can count on a Telegram to getthere first. A Potent Point to remember, too,when sounding out Pop for Pesos, remember.ing AMother's Day, or working up a Weekend.Two words to the Wise are "Western Union."

The Constitutions and Elections

Division will perform such duties

as reviewing the constitution, his-tory and membership of any organ-ization petitioning Instcomm. forrecognition as an activity. It shallconduct all elections that the pres-ent Elections Committee has juris-

diction over.

The membership of the Secre-taxia ,wll consist of a Chairman,two Senior Associates, four Divi-sion Chairmen, and twelve fresh-man members' from which eightmembers will be selected as Sopho-mores. The Chairman of the Sec-retariat shall be a Senlior and the

four Division Chairmen shall beJuniors.

The motion proposed by theFreshman Coordinating Committee

to the effect that Freshman Week-end be held at me Institute nextyear was defeated mainly becausethe Institute Committee felt thatfreshmen had a better chance toget acquainted with each other at

a place like Camp Wonderland,where they were more concen-

trsated, than when they are spreadout at the Institute. It was also

felt that the activities were ableto interest more of the new stu-dents at Camp Wonderland, be-cause they had more time to talk

to the students as individuals than

in the mad rush which goes on inRockwell Cage during FreshmanWeekend at the Institute.

However, the F. C. C. stated -thatmore persons could be accommo-dated here, that it is considerably

cheaper and that more of the In-

stitute facilities are available foruse when the weekend is held at

the IInstitute.

seen combat (preferring to kill indirectly from agovernment laboratory), Whittaker knew the robotwould outperform the human on the battlegroundin agility, stamina, killing ability, and hatred ofthe enemy soldier, metal or flesh. It needed noplasma, no medical treatment, no shelter. Most ofall, it was quite expendable. Whittaker's robotsshould have been ideal instruments of warfare.And they were, fabulously so. Twenty thousandenemy soldiers shot or strangled to death in thefirst month of use. Even when the Asians intro-duced some of their own machines into the IraqSector, the Allies still came out ahead on casualties.The robots allowed our forces to make notablegains on the English front. Victory was ours, butfor the Armistice. "Armistice" was an ugly wordto Robert Whittaker. How many millions in ap-propriations had it cost him; how much glory forhis contribution to the victory of the forces ofliberty ?

"Major, step into my office, please."Whittaker, looking up from his report, saw the

Commanding Officer motion him into the officewith an impatient wave of his pudgy, well mani-cured hand.

Possibility of Society OfficesThere is a possibility of there

being a small office for Professionalsocieties associated with Course 1,and there may be limited kitchenfacilities. However, these thingshave yet to be considered.

The facilities of the SpoffordRoom will not be limited in use tothe Civil Engineering Departmentbut wll be available to the depart-ments located X the vicinity ofBuilding 1. It is expected that allthe details concerning the roomwill be worked out in the nearfuture and the Spofford Roomshould :be ready for use by nextfall.

Course I HeadProfessor Emeritus Charles M.

Spofford, eminent structural engi-neer, was head of the Departmentof Civil Engineering for fifteenyears and was in charge when theInstitute moved across the river.He is a graduate of the Instituteand has spent most of his lifeteaching. He is very active in pro-fessional societies and is at presentsenior member of a firm of consult-ing engineers in Bosbon, which hasdone inportant ,work both insideand outside of this country.

:Whittaker didn't smoke; he had only the care-:ly prepared report and his officer's cap to occupy

hands. Had it been only an hour he had beeniing in the C.O.'s anteroom? Glancing at thelionoscope on his finger, he saw that it was in-ed only 1600 hours. Usually he could estimateBe intervals closer than that. It was one of hisw amusements to test his memory and timeJgrment occasionally. Of course, human facultiesold never approach those of the robot and itsXtronic calculating machine.

"Good afternoon, sir. I have my report with me.It took some doing, with all the enlisted men gone,but it's finished."

"Great. Always nice to have a report to read.Well, sit down, man, sit down," he ordered, plac-ing himself firmly in the massive chair beneaththe mural of the grinning Kansan on the wall."Major, the military is in a helluva mess. No en-listed men, fewer officers every minute, no money,no anything-complete chaos! The country isfrantic in this demobilization business, makingabsolutely no provision for the next war," he con-tinued belligerently, emphasizing each phrase witha thump on the desk, "and with that man in theWhite House doing nothing, absolutely nothing,. . oh, oh, damn!" He stopped with an explosiveburst of breath in utmost frustration and indigna-tion, challenging his subordinate to disagree.

"Yes, it's terrible," Whittaker began, "but surelyPsych Warfare could have done something, evenif . . ."

"Psych Warfare, Psych Warfare," the C.O.whined. "Of course Psych Warfare should havedone something! But it's the people in this foolcountry who are really to blame. My God, whymust they have to have their slogans and songs andatrocities and all, in order to get enthusiastic abouta war. Can't they learn to hate the aggressor evenif it happens to be a robot instead of a man? Yourrobots were a fine thing for military science untitlthese taxpay-ers up and decided they weren't goingto pay as much for our robots in China as for 'ourboys' in Bolivia. Yes, by God, you're as much toblame as anybody in Psych Warfare "

"Colonel, really I . . .""Oh, forget it, Whittaker," replied the Colonel,

wiping great drops of sweat from his chins, "it'stoo late now. The war's over without being won,the whole International Defense system is comingapart at the seams, and here we are arguing amongourselves. Well, I'll tell you one thing. It may beyears before the War Department recovers, butwhen it does, there'll be no room for robots in it.So that's that and you'd better look for a jobsomewheres else."

"But where?" cried Whittaker, then instantlyregretted it. Almost as if he had asked a favor ofan intellectual inferior, he realized.

"Where? Yes indeed, where? Where will anyof us go? Try the Post Office, maybe they'll needrobots to guide air-mail rockets," he cackled, ap-preciating his little joke by himself. "Now get thedevil out of my office, Whittaker," the C. O.shrilled, almost crying. "I don't ever want to bereminded of ,our infernal machines again!"

Walker Staff's annual AssemblyBall, now the coveted tradition ofthe dining hall's student staffmen,will be held in Walker Memorial onFriday, April 18. Harry Marshard'sorchestra will ,play.

With seven hundred people ex-pected to attend, and many formerTechnology graduates coming fromafar, the affair will be a spiritedreunion of many of the now suc-cessful men min industry who have,at some time, lugged dishes in thedining hall.

Herbert Teaser Is ChairmanSirLnce September preparations

have been made for decorations axlndpresentations by an all-studentstaff committee, under the leader-ship of Herbert Martin Teager, '52,chairman. Floodlights and acanopy will add glitter to the build-higs exterior, while artistic lightingand decorations will transformWValker Memorial from a studentunion and dining hall into a ball-room worthy of the affair.

Hesading the schedule of eventsis a private reception for the com-mittee and honor guests, followedby receiving until eleven. Thereceiving line will include promi-nent members of the NMIT'faculty,administration, and corporation.

Assembly Originated In 1935Originating in 1935, the Francis

Amasa Walker Assembly has beenheld every year since then with the

exception of the war years. Thecommittee attributes its tremend-ous success mostly to the fact thatthe work done for it by the studentstaff is voluntary and of a suffi-cient volume to make the equiva-lent cost to other school organiza-tions prohibitive.

Originally -the financial expenseinvolved was met -from gratuitiesreceived by the staff, and fromvoluntary contributions. From thissource also came the small finan-cial assistance necessary to holdan informal dance each month.The informal dances became sopopular, however, that the sale oftickets to the Student Staff andtheir friends was begun. Now popu-larly known as /DO's, these in-formal dances are held once eachmonth, with sprofits used to helpfinance the Assembly.

Assembly CommitteeSelf-Perpetuating

The staff each Fall elects someof its members -to a self-perpetuat-ing committee which Iplans theAssembly from September untilApril.

Each year the Assembly is high-lighted by the music of a well-known orchestra. Unique presenta-tions staged at intervals through-out the evening, the Grand Assem-bly Promenade, and a .buffet supper

regain his own self. There were large dark ringsunder his eyes, and his face wore a haggard look.As he made his way through the small villagetowards his field, his fellow villagers questionedhim as to his exhausted look. Knowing that if hedisclosed his dream, he would become an objectof ridicule, he gave the reason that he had stayedup all night reading the "Bhagvadgita."

The whole morning Ram continued in his ner-vous state, neglecting most of his work. Everysecond he expected the figure to spring out of thefield and put an end to his life, so that his ashestoo would join those of his wife, which had been.sprinkled over his field after her cremation. Atevery sound he started, and muttered a prayer to"Bhagwan".' At noon he returned to his hut andprepared and ate his meal in silence. He did notreturn to his work for fear he would collapse, andcause a stir amongst his friends. Hie did not wantthem to know about his present state of mind, anddecided to avoid them until he could regain his"karma".2 But his absence only aroused the curi-osity of the farmers, and one of them, Clhandra,visited Ram.

"Brother farmer," said Chandra, "is there any-thing that you are in need of? Remember thatyour marriage is to take place in a few days, theGods be willing." "O mother of mine," groanedRam, "I am not well. My marriage will have towait until the gods are more favorable."

"To my mind, the sooner you are married, thebetter for you. God's blessing be upon you."

Dissatisfied, Chandra left Ramn to tell the othershis strange story; it was decided that willing orunwilling, Ram must be watched; otherwise themarriage, which was intended to bring two lonely

beings together, would result in a disappointfor the girl.

Towards evening, Ram became more andafraid, dreading the dark which night would bwith it. He did not eat anything, fear conquehunger. As night wore on he felt like a mantrance. An irresistible power drew him tofigure, and he could not take his eyes off thener where it stood. Outside, his friends wahim through the cracks in his hut, and wondat his strange actions.

As he stared at the idol, he wondered whyfeared it, a mere carving, a lifeless stone fiHe laughed at himself for behaving so, buthe could not turn his eyes away from it; hebeing hypnotized by an unnatural power, anwas sapping all his strength.

Ram rubbed his eyes and stared again. Hehis hand, and realized that he was not dreamIt was real; the idol seemed to have grown bidHIe heard the same rumbling sound he hadthe other night, and began to tremble. Thegrew bigger; it was now as big as his arm.eye sparkled as if it were a gem, the wings flapproducing an eerie noise which froze his bogand chilled the pith of his bones. Bigger and bithe idol grew, amidst increasing rumblings.eye sent forth sparks; Ram clutched at his facethair, and fervently whispered "Help me, O Biwan, help me. What sin have I committed toserve such a fate? O help me to conquerdemon." On saying this he opened his eaesbeheld a terrifying sight. The idol had gro,;:.big that it filled the room; flames roared out ofmouth, producing a frightful and horrific dtacle. Ram dropped to the floor and closed his.to block out the scene-but in vain! He saw teven with his eyes closed, and opened his nito scream for help; but only a hollow voic:

kl It was indeed a curious figure of stone. Barelyn four inches high, it had five legs and three arms,

and on its back were two horny wings. A largeiee round eye was fixed in its forehead, and it mouthM. was twisted into a queer grin.

Ram Yopal returned the stare of the figure hehad found in his field while ploughing, and gave a

r· hollow laugh, as if trying to mock it. He was ingood spirits because he was due to be married

g soon to a girl twenty-five years old, whose firstL] husband had died of cholera. The local "banya,"

, or shopkeeper-mediator had arranged this match,since Ram, after cooking for himself for nearly

I1 twelve years, had decided that he needed somecne-e to help him with his field, and also his housework.11: He resumed his reading of the "Bhagvadgita,"I

- and soon became absorbed in its inner meanings1 .4.. "There is no death, but only LIFE. After the

G GREAT SLEEP there is a REAWAKENING" . . .- As he read this awful statement, his mind rocketted

% backwards in time until it reached the image of hisfirst wife. She had died a painful death at the ageof fourteen, while giving birth to her first child.He recalled the scene in the field; two limp bodies-those of his wife and her dead son, as yet notcompletely born, lying one on top of the other,by the side of the plough which stood in an un-finished furrow. What a bright red, staining the

e soft black earth, and adding to the weird effectproduced by the knotted urrmbilical cord whichbound the two in life and in death! Ram wonderedif it was death-or only a GREAT SLEEP. If so,when was the REAWAKENING? He shuddered,

I and Ict his eyes revolve in a circle until they restedon the stone figure. As he did so, he heard far off,as if from the distant mountains, a low rumblingsound like that of a splitting of the very bowelsof the earth, as if to throw up the dead that itcontained for a mass reincarnation. Twice he heardthis, and with it came a feeling that he was notalone. His nerves shaken, he decided to resort tothe only comfort his primitive hut could offer him-his primitive rope and wood bed. In spite of thefact that his mind raced around in circles like thevillage cur chasing its tail, weariness triumphedand his eyes closed in a sleep, although his mindcontinued its mad race.

The stone figure thundered into life with a flashof lightning, slowly looked around, and fixed itsgaze on Ram. Closer and closer it came on its fivelegs. The victim, on his knees, burst forth with aflood of entreaties. At each call for mercy thereappeared a similar figure, until the room was filledwith myriads of wicked-looking idols, each ofwhom had his eye fixed on the quivering figure ofRam, making him feel as if his body was beingtorn into shreds by countless sharp daggers. Hisarms and legs thrashed the mud floor, writhinglike a worm being pecked at by a flock of sparrows,until with his last breath he screamed! . . . Heawoke to find himself on the floor of his "makan,"in a bath of perspiration. He realized that he wouldbe unable to resume his sleep.

Dawn broke to find Ram Yopal pacing up anddown his room, whispering prayers in an effort to

Remington Feeny's money went to his feet.Being extremely cautious, he hid his money inhis shoes so he could always keep it with him.By the time he was 48, he was nine feet tall.

Money can be used to grow on, but not neces-sarily by Mr. Feeny's method. For instance,more than 1,100,000 people have shown theirfaith in the future of the Bell Telephone Systemby investing their money in it. About one-fifthof them are Bell employees who bought stockthrough a payroll savings plan.

It takes both money and people to keep theBell System growing and improving to meetour country's telephone needs. That's why col-lege men with the right qualifications can findinteresting opportunities with us-in engineer-ing, research, operating and administration.

Originally -the financial expenseinvolved was met from gratuitiesreceived by the staff, and fromvoluntary contributions. From thissource also came the smnall finan-cial assistance necessary to holdan informal dance each month.The informal dances became sopopular, however, that the sale oftickets to the Student Staff andtheir friends was begun. Now popu-larly known as ID)C's, these in-formal dances are held once eachmonth, with Iprofits used to helpfinance the Assembly.

groat did he find. His mind ceased to function,Cause the idol had penetrated every part of his3dy and blocked up every channel. He feebly

tirash on his already mangled body. Devoid ofthis senses, he fell back as if dead.~11 this while, the watchers outside remained~psfixed, but when he fell back, dead to them,

fl, broke open the weak door and rushed to hisiue, attempting to revive him. They laid himsihis bed and applied all the primitive methodsaown to them for reviving the unconscious. But[, saw from his colourless face, and heard from

' heartless chest, that he was beyond their help.reeing to return in the morning to take his still,y to the temple for cremation, they dispersed.

When Ram came out of his coma he found the'm in darkness, the lamp having burnt out.

hile relighting it, he wondered what he had"n doing on his bed. As he looked around the

'n, his eyes alighted on the figure, and in ai everything came back to him. His stomachlike a rotten log which was being eaten up by

4cts, ready to give in any minute. He squattedthe floor to think out a line of action, but thed pounding on his temples refused to let himjo. One thought alone flashed back and forth;

n/must get rid of the idol, of this demon. Sheeraustion drove him once more to his bed, and

A time he slept soundly.Day brought new life to Ram Yopal, whose

action was to convey the figure to the nearestand dispose of it for ever. As he sent it spin-out into the center of the water, he felt freethe evil spirit which had ruined his life for

days. On his way home he stopped at theoya's" shop and inquired after his prospectivee. Yes, he was ready to be married! Yes, whyk That same evening! Yes, the "banya" would

ige everything; and Ram would be at the'Ole that evening.[When the other villagers saw Ram, they drewia and whispered to each other mysteriously.hey had been to his "makan" in the morning toke his body to the temple, but were astounded'finding the place empty. They concluded that

,body was carried off by evil spirits, and poor, became to them only a subject for gossip.

4t miraculously, here was his likeness walkinghugh the village! Chandra, bolder than the rest,Red out to him, and received in reply a humantce, very surprisingly. Soon they found out thatyeas indeed human, and not a spirit in humanm returned to haunt them. In fact, the "spirit"

es whiter than usual, he discovered that duehis eagerness, he had arrived earlier than the:, and would have to wait for her. What wouldbetter than. to pay his respects to the "rishi"l inmeanwhile ?

The old man was very glad to receive himn andar of this remarriage, scheduled for that eve-g. Ram told the "rishi" of his horrible experi-x with the idol which possessed an evil spirit,i how he had managed to rid of it.'everend father, can you give me an explana-

fields without his bullock. And the bullock had togo---otherwise he would be tormented to the endof his days by this terrible demon.

The food, which had taken some time over thewood fire, smelled good. But of what use was itwvithout his normal appetite? Yes, he must go withthis young wife to the BIG CITY; they called itBombay, after the temple Mnumbadevi, wvhich stoodthere. The nose-ring gleamed, and seemed to out-shine tle eye of the figure. Ram could not eat, butoccupied his time by returning the wicked gleamof the idol's eye, and the grin of its mouth. Hewondered what his wife thought of him, but wasthankful that the morrow would bring freedom.But what if the idol followed him to the city? No,it would not, because all it wanted was the bloodof his bullock.

Ram could not sleep-his bed creaked noisilyas he tossed and turned. He hoped that the soundwould not wake her. What if hle had another ofthose visitations from the demon ? She would neverlive with him after observing his behaviour duringone of those real niglhtmares. He could see thegleam of the idol's eye through the dimness of thehut. Did it move? "O Bhagwan, how muchlonger?" He turned away from the idol and wasmet with the glinting of her nose-ring. He prayedthat she would not awake in this moment of historment. Her soft hand reached out and touchedhim lightly on his heaving chest. She was awake!Now he must not let tlihe idol overpower him lestshe discover his madness. He could feel her sooth-ing breath on his ch-eks, and felt that here he hadsomeone to defend him from the demon. Now hesensed her comforting smooth body close to hisand he breathed more slowly. He must not disclosehis fear of the demon to this woman, who some-how sensed that he Auras disturbed and was attempt-ing to soothe his nerves. He saw thie nose-ring ofhis first wife close to his face, and hle becamecalmer physically. But his mind was still in a tur-moil.

It seemed that hler body had some power overhlim, for in some manner he had managed to sleep.He remembered that the last thing he saw was hernose-ring, almost encircling his ow n nose.

The sun streamed through the cracks in his hutand he sat up in his bed. Immediately, there cameto his nostrils the smell of fresh grass after ashower of rain, and the hut seemed brighter thanhle -ver remembered seeing it. He looked around,in the corners, on the floor, at the roof-the evilspirit had flown-the idol had vanished! He criedout in joy, and shook his wife, to awaken her andtell her the good news . . . hLer body felt limp andcold, and he realized that he wlas shaking a lifelesscorpse! His cry became one of sorrow-a cry toBhlagwan. She had been robbed of her warm blood-and also of the nose-ring'!

He heard the call of the bullock as it breathedin the fresh air around it. It seemed as if his minderas now cleared of all its fears and doubts, sweptwith fresh thou8ghts for the new life ahead of him.A penetrating peace and calm entered Ihis wholebody anid filled the room wxith the incense of tran-quillity. He would go to the BIG CITY. The sac-rifice wnould have to be made, because he hadattained "Nirvana".

tion of this strange happening?" he asked. "Didyou offer any sacrifice to this demon?" questionedthe "rishi". "O sage, among mny humble posses-sions, none are worthy enough of being sacrificed,except my only bullock, which I need to ploughmy field. Even this wife which I am about to take.will have no token of marriage. I have only a nose-ring which belonged to my first wife, which Iwithheld alone from among her other ornaments,for an occasion such as today." "Then what didyou offer to appease the soul of your dead wife,and also to take the place of the nose-ring?""Father," said Ram sadly, "I was even more poorat that time than I am now. I burnt incense andprayed for a whole day in the hope that her nextform on this earth would not require any materialwealth. Maybe she will return as a dove, and soanswer my prayers."

Since his woman had arrived, Ram left the pres-ence of the "rishi" after receiving his blessings.

She seemed very young, but that did not disturbhim. "As long as she can work," he said to him-self; her limbs looked healthy, so he supposed thatshe would be a great help in his field as well as athome with the housework.

As he walked home with her that night, hethanked "Bhagwan" for being kind to him. Nowhe would have less work to do. He saw the nose-ring of his dead wife, long forgotten, gleamingfrom the nose of the second wife, and he wascomforted.

The house was in darkness when they arrived,except for the thin rays of light emerging from thecracks in the walls and roof. She waited at thedoor until he lit the lamp, because she was notfamiliar with the room. As the tiny flame of thelamp flared into brightness, Ram's voice croaked,and he lurched to the floor, letting go of the lan-tern which crashed down beside him. He had seenthe statue figure !

She wasted no time in applying a wet rag to hisforehead, which soon brought him out of his un-consciousness. He saw her bending over him andhe clutched her arm for support. Not a word didshe say, but after helping him to his feet, beganpreparing the evening meal. Ranm found himselfstaring at the idol, as he had done previously, onlyto discover that its mouth was set in a wider grinthan before, as if to emphasize the futility of at-tempting to get rid of it without offering a sacri-fice. Come what may, he would take his bullockto the temple for an offering. What would he dothen for a living? He had heard of the BIG CITY\which stood on the sea-shore, and which offeredemployment to all who desired it. He would takehis wife with him and both would work and livea better life.

Possibility of Society OffcesThere is a possibility of there

being a small office for Professionalsocieties associated with Course I,and there may be limited kitchenfacilities. However, these thingshave yet to be considered.

The facilities of the SpoffordRoom will not be limited in use tothe Civil Engineering Departmentbut will be available to the depart-ments located in the vicinity ofBuilding 1. It is expected that allthe details concerning the roomwill be worked out in the nearfuture and the Spofford Roomshould be ready for use by nextfall.

Course i HeadProfessor Emeritus Charles M.

THE THOUGHT OF YOU

Every Human SoulIs a rough diamondOf potential splendour and sparkle.The degree of sparkleWhich a human soul attainsDuring the life-time of its bodyIs dependent on other soulsAs well as itself.

For even a rough diamondMay have a sparkle of its ownYet it can only be polishedBy rubbing it against other diamonds.

Thus the soulsWith which we come into contactShape and polish our own souls.We must, ourselves,Select a sparkling soulIf we wish ours to sparkle.

iMy CounselorHave you ever known the friendship of the sea?Have you seen it when it's grey,When it's blue or green?Have you ever tasted sprayWhen the sea has angry been?Have you ever felt the comfort of the sea?

Sometime I sit and look into its depths-Peer down into its secret cragsWhere rock defies its fury.And, Oh! the moving things it brags-The seaweed jigs, and shells all scurryHomeward in the sand with trailing steps.

The sea's a mighty god of moods.His brow grows cloudy quickly,And his mouth foams white.His parasites he churns till sicklyTlley become at his ire's height.When finally his temper dies, he broods.

On days that boast Sol's warmest smile,The winning water looks upWonderingly at her mirror of blue,And from its texture seems to sup,Relishing the delicious hue.Her heart is peaceful for a while.

They say the land and sea will clash e'er more.Like all good friends, they fret and fight,But time are many when sea and sodIn matchless green both delight.They then exchange a peaceful nod.For He says they must meet and make the shore.

I shall always feel the friendship of the sea.I shall always awesomely recallIts power, depth and beauty.I'll remember, when it seems that allIs pain and solitary duty,The peace of heart I felt at Neptune's knee.
