Cheering Will be Practiced andFinal Plans for Field

l Day Made

All freshmen are called to a veryimportant Mass Meeting of the Classof '32, tomorrow morning in Room10-250 at 11 o'clock. This meetingwill be taken as an indicator of thespirit of the class.

The hour for the leeting is placedat a time when it is known that allfirst year men can be present. Theattendance if large will be an indica-tion of good support for the teamson the following day, which isabsolutely necessary for victory.

One of the most important busi-nesses of the meeting will be to

I practice cheers and get a good cheer-ing section organized which will givesupport and encouragement to theteam. It is hoped that evely fresh-!man who can yell may be enlistediin this section.

The speakers at the Ineeting will|be the captains or coaches of the! Field Day teams. Joe Paul, captainof the football team will tell of thecondition and hopes of the team.

: Freeman Fraim will speak on thetug-of-war team, and the class willlearn about their relay team and theircrew fromi those famous coaches, OsHedlund and Bill Haines.

Class Will Have MNascotThe mascot chosen to r epresent

the class will be made known by thecommittee, and very careful plansfor defending it from the Sopho-mores will be laid. I

Final instructions will be given out Iconcerning the glove fight, in which Ithe whole class participates. Themen will be instructed as to the latestand most approved methods of attack tand defence. The class will be tcautioned about conduct on the nightbefore Field Day an don the day ofthe event. It is to be made veryemphatic that there can be no cele- brations of any kind off the Institute cgrounds, and that the penalty for lviolation is heavy. The parents of tall first year students have been in- rstructed to that effect by President FStratton. I

President Stratton Urges Discretionin Activities of Coming Field Day ,

In order to maintain the good name of Technology before the public, 1President Samuel W. Stratton sent the following letter to those responsible Ifor he conduct of students who will participate in the activities of Field Daythis Friday.

Special attention is called to the advice warning against the participa-tion of students in demonstrations outside of the Institute grounds.

October 18, 1928. 1To parents or guardians of iSophomores and Freshmen:It has been customary at the Institute since 1901 for the Sophomore .and Freshman classes to participated in a series of athletic contests known c

as Field Day. For this purpose the first Friday afternoon in November isset aside by vote of the Faculty. IIn some years there have been unauthorized paradles outside the In- d

stitute grounds the night preceding the athletic events. and impromptu Idemonstrations following them. As a result the Institute has sometimesbeen placed in an unfavorable position before the general public. I

Conduct of future Field Days has, therefore, been under consideration tby the student government, working in conjunction with representatives l,from the Faculty and Alumni Association. Among their recommendations tfor the conduct of future Field Days was: t,

"That in order to protect the good name of the undergraduategovernment there shall be no parades or demonstrations of anycharacter off the Institute grounds, and that the President of theInstitute be requested to support this decision by giving due noticethat offenders render themselves liable to expulsion."The Institute authorities have every confidence in the student govern-

ment and believe that their decision is a wise one. Accordingly I am sendingnotice of the action,to you as the parent or guardian of a member of theSophomore or Freshman class, in order to ask that you cooperate with usby notifying your son or ward of the serious consequences of being involvedin a demonstration off the Institute grounds. |

party--a party that will represent "the producing class, the work-ers ill farm, factory, mine and office".

With the ultimate aim ill view of "the collective ownership ,of natural resources and basic industries and their democraticmanagement for the use and benefit of all instead of the privateprofit of the privileged few", the Socialist party has placed in thepresidential field a man of the highest integrity and sincerity ofpurpose who has devoted all of his time and energy for the pastten years to the labor strugole in its fight against the capitalist.Norman Thomas, who was a Presbyterian minister, has pledgedhimself to fight with all the power at his command for industrialdemocracy.

In contrast to the platforms of the two major parties, theSocialist platform stands squarely and unequivocally on nine im-portant issues that need immediate attention. On civil liberties,the party proposes "Federal legislation to enforce the FirstAmendment to the Constitution so as effectually to guaranteefreedom of speech, press and assembly, and to penalize any officialwho interferes with the civil rights of any citizen". It stands fornationalization of our natural resources be-inning with coal minesand water sites; immediate governmental relief for the unem-ployed; comprehensive labor legislation; increase of taxation onhigh income levels; enactment of the Berger Anti-Lynching bill';abolition of the power of the Supreme Court to pass upon the con-stitutionality of legislation enacted by Congress; nationalizationof the banking and currency system; immediate farm relief; with-drawal of American forces from Nicaragua, and abandonment ofthe policy of military intervention in Central America and othercountries; recognition of Soviet Russia; treaties outlawing war:and abandonment of the program of aggressive militarism andbig navy building in competition with other nations. These arethis issues that form the bulwark of the Socialist stand this yearand on this platform they have presented to the electorate a manof distinct intellectual attainments, Norman Thomas.

little hurt about my letter, and Iextend Professor Armstrong mysincerest apologies, as I really wasnot greatly injured by the wolves ofWall Street. In return, may I statethat I feel indignant that he doubtedmy real existence, and tried to castthe shadow of suspicion on some in-nocent member of his sleeping class.

It least, I will never again go toEc 56 lecture, and I am thinkingseriously of transferring to Harvard,as by the professor's own admission,the men are all boys at Tech. Whata pity that the school should be indanger of losing one of its few re-mainig coeds.

Dear Lounger:I have given a great deal of con-

sideration to that perplexing problemof what I shall do with myself onField Day and have at last made upmy mind that it would be an un-pardonable breach of etiquette to failto attend this rumpus. ConsequentlyI made a date with a few of my boyfriends around school and they haveagreed to take good care that I cometo no harm at the hands of thategotistica! Sophomore, who so threat-ened lly stability a few days ago.Furthermore I intend to stay to seethe whole business from beginningto end, and it vwill takle more than hecan do to cause me to leave theground. I am not accustomed tobeing draped on any flagploles and (donot iutend to acquire the habit thisweek at any rate. My heartiest de-fiance to hsim.

Well, old Lounger, professors arefunny people aren't they? Now hereis one Professor Armstrong, whoteaches Corporate Organization, forone thing., and I used to hide underthe platform up in .- 270 when helectured in it, as I didn't belong inthe class, but hated to miss it,thinking that here wvas a chance tolearn something useful in this school,for a change. Well, one day abouta week ago I was reclining underthe platform, almost dying withcuriosity to see the beautiful diagramsthat the professor was exhibiting onthe board, when he let drop a f ewremarks about the stock exchange.and lo and behold, I was overwhelmedwith chalk dust and a desire to takea flyer on the exchange. So I tookthe flyer.

Today, in tramped the professorand proceeded to berate the "boyswho wrote that Tillie letter to THETECH." It turned out that '%iheboy" h'ad "misunderstood or mis-interpreted" the professor's remarks,and the professor felt very bad aboutit. He offered to make good the"boy's" losses, if he would speak tothe professor in private. I claimthat any lecturer on a business sub-ject who doesn't know any betterIthan to lay himself open to a bunchof Counrse XV Juniors had betterwrite his lectures out in advance.Anyway. Lounger, he talked aboutthe incident for half an hour, andventured to express the opinion thatMajor Eddy. the only adult presentwhom he didn't call a "boy," wasnot the guilty author of the letter."It was farthest from my thoughtsto induce any boy to go to the mar-Iket anda speculate. I would like tosav to any boy seriously that I wantIhim to let me know of any loss hemay have incurred. and to what ex-tent he has suffered. I will standthis loss personally and make it. goodto him. This is no bluff." He re-neared this a few more times, and Ifinally gathered that he was Just a

A WORD T TO THE SPIRITED:

O N the first page of this issue there appears a copy of the letterrecently sent by President Stratton to parents of ail members

of the present Sophomore and freshman classes. We have re-printed it as a word of warning and advice to the undergraduateswho possibly are not sufficiently aware of the disastrous results ofpre-Field Day celebration two years ago this week.

Bloody parades and incitement of the Boston anger may per-haps add to the spirit of a school; the little they can add, how-ever, is of very slight consequence in comparison with the criti-cism, the unfavorable propaganda, the stigma, that is inevitablyattached to mob action of any sort and magnified to a huge degreewhen attached to that of college students. The last "riot" wasbegun in all thoughtlessness; it ended with the suspension of sev-eral students and a black eye for M.I.T. that has been hard to livedown.

Let us keep our minds, tomorrow and Friday, clear ernoughto realize that the name of the Institute must come first- ourpleasure second. Remember that ally conspirators for a nightlyparade rank at the best with the Red element of the lower classes.Be the parade political or other ise, we doubt seriously its possi-bilities as a peaceable party. May no students make themselvesliable to expulsion this year!

THE THIRD PARTY

'HIS election more than any before clearly illustrates the well-worn thesis about the two old parties being no different than

"two peas in a pod". With the Democrats turning to Republicanprotectionism and big business policies, it is increasingly difficultto find any line of demarkation between their platforms except indegree. The Socialists have therefore entered the campaign vig-orously, not so much for vote-seeking as for a presentation of theircase to the dissatisfied voters. They are making a gigantic effortto launch. with the aid of the five-million progressives, a third

To the Editor of THE TECH,In the October 24th issue the writer

of the editorial "AI Smith Democrat,"clearly showed his grasp of the issuesinvolved in the presidential campaign.In the midst of the storm of mis-representation which is now centeringabout Governor Smith, it is mostgratifying to find that THE TECHthrough the intelligence and fairnessof the editorial staff is willing to dis-cuss the campaign on the major issuesin evidence and the personal abilitiesof the candidates. Even those highin the councils of the RepublicanParty would do well to read yourstatement that "the failure to find aflaw in the Democratic nominee'stwenty years of service has compelledthe Republicans to attack him as aTammany puppet and as a Socialistin his views.

Saturday's cross-country meet wit)the UniVersity of New Hampshirwill be without doubt the hardest duameet of the season. New Hampshir(has a fine team, both Varsity an(freshman, and has a good chance fothe . New England championshipCoach Hedlund is giving his menthorough preparation this week foa tough contest, and the boys shouldbe in the best of condition beforenext Saturday.

As a result of the handicap meetlast Saturday the coach has been ableto size up his material and pick atentative team to prepare for theN. E. I. C. A. A. and I. C. A. A. A. A.meets which will be held later in theseason. Thorsen continued his finework of the previous Saturday andcaptured the time prize, running thecourse in 17:20 2/5. Herbert, whodid not show up very well in theHoly Cross meet, had the secondfastest time of 17:46. Some of theothers who finished in fast time wereBaltzer, Captain Worthen, Mitchell,and Littlefield, a freshman.

Probable Selections forIntercollegiates

The team that will probably repre-sent the Varsity in the New Englandsand the Intercollegiates consists ofBaltzer '31, Herbert '30, Mitchell'29, Worthen '29, Allbright '31Thorsen '29, McNiff '31, Blackwood'30, and Berry '30. These men haveall had plenty of experience, and haveshown by their wvork this season aswell as in past seasons that they are

quite capable of filling their responsi-bilities.

The freshmen who show the mostpromises and who will consequentlybe picked to run in these importantmeets are Littlefield, Camerlingo.

Jewett. Gilman. Conant, Green. Law-son, Kelley, and Hallis.

Technology has stood high on thelist of competitors in these meetsduring the last few seasons. This

year's team is no exception, althoughit has a hard assignment to fill. Thecoach was pleased with the resultsof the interclass handicap meet, be-

cause he saw in them success forthis season's teamn and for the teamsfor the next few years.

man, Broder, Lappin, Browne, Wood,Coleman, Ayers, Leadbetter, O'Sulli-

van, Poor and Landsman, with Good-hand, and Haskell as substitutes. Onthe freshman team are Wayne, Lynch.Semple, Rogers, Hall, Schaffer, EllisBeck, Henderson, Regan, Corson, and

Jewett, with Calabrese and James assubstitutes.

Baton practice is being held everyafternoon on the track, and so farthe Sophomores have the upper hand.This is undoubtedly due to their ex-

perience, and their year's trainingwhich makes them the favorite towin the relay. Coupled with the factthat they handle the baton better, isthe average time of the Sophomoreteam, which is a little lower than thefreshman team time.

Freshmen Have StarsWith this advantage it would seem

that the Sophomore team should havelittle difficulty in winning the Field

Day relay, but this may not be thecase. A week's training will meanmuch more to the freshmen than tothe Sophomores, and this week'sworkouts may decide the outcome of

the relay. Also the freshmen wvillhave two stars, that have shown theirheels to the Sophomores in the twoSaturday Handicaps, and will undoubt-edly do much toward taking the racefor the freshmen.

As yet the positions of the men onthe two teams are unknown, and willprobably be decided after the prac-

tice this afternoon. The fastest manwill not necessarily occupy the anchorposition, as a lead is one of the mainfactors in the outcome, and if thefreshmen get an early lead it m aydo much toward their winning therace.

A gathering of the Flying Club willbe held this afternoon at 5 o'clock inRoom 418 of the Aeronautical Build-ing. There will be an interestingprogram and all men interested inbecoming members of the club shouldbe present.

gross misunderstanding of the pur-|pose of the M. I. T. Liberal Club.:Some students incited by an atav~istic urge took it upon themselves to teardown a few of our posters of the MiaryDonovan Hapgood meeting. They did a good job. The Liberal Club meet- ink- proved a big success.l

Perhaps this instance of intolerance Icould have been avoided to a large'extent had the Liberal Club clearlystated its purpose as to correct anyerroneous ideas concerning its work. I do -not wish to depreciate the ex-cellence of your news articles on thelLiberal Club butt would greatly ap-.preciate the use of the Open Forumcolumn for a restatement of the pur-pose of this organization.

In the first place the Liberal Club is not a political organization. . I can- not stress this -point too strongly. That this is so can be seen from theifact that the Liberal Club -numbers)amon- its member shin men of pro- Igressiv e, radical -snd conservative convictions. Furthermlore, the Club ihas absollltel,- no connection wnith any !other clubs, society or outside or-ganizations. It is purely a Technology-Iorganization.

In brief, the purpose of the LiberaltClub is to study and discuss soeialIproblems of the day. In line with,this policy, the club invites prominentindependent speakers to use its plat-form in presenting their views, many'jof us here -believe that only through;-in organization of this kind where men of note can come and talk f reely,lcan wse search for the truth about;things and learn viewpoints other than}those served to us by the news-papersIand like organs. Above all, the,Liberal Club stands for fair play and,(an open mind.
