Deserting SophomoreBetrayed by Classmate

Stygian blackness enveloped thelecture room as Professor Searsprojected diagrams onto the wallfor his Sophomore group. Sudden-ly blinding lights were switchedon, revealing a student tiptoeinghis way to the nearest exit. Sur-prised but undaunted the desertercontinued steadily door-ward whilethe class waited in breathless an-ticipation for the lecturing profes-sor to spot him. He, however,busy at the blackboard, went se-renely on with his discussion. Itlooked like a victory for the would-be truant. Then without warningart unsympathetic classmate roaredout, "What wouid you do in a caselike this?" Professor Sears turnedhastily just in time to catch theluckless deserter who hestitated,confused and chagrined before mak-ing a break for the door, his facea deep purple.

Grid Enthusiasts GiveWalker Radio Big Hand

As a Saturday afternoon rendez-vous for homeless Technology boys,the Walker Memorial pool roomhas risen above "bull" sessions,winter baseball talk, and matinees.The radio telling the story of thebig game is the reason. If to beseen is to be appreciated then tobe heard is to be enjoyed, judgingfrom the undivided attention whichthe large assembly of grid enthu-siasts always gives the radio onthese occasions. Credit is dueMessrs. E. C. Cullum '31 and C.M. Daniel '32 for making this di-version possible and Ed. Pung forgiving a fourth of his pool-roomover to non-paying customers.

Record Crowd Attends InitialDance of Architectural

Society for Year

Hogan's Hole saws its demise lastnight at 2 o'clock, when by mainforce the reveler's wvere induced toleave the Exhibition Room, at Rogers.The dance started promptly at 9 P. M.Friday night with George Tyne'sorchestra furnishing the music.

The novel feature of the lightingscheme was that the only light camefrom several red lanterns swvingillgfrom the ceiling of the Hole. A hun-dred and fifty couples danced in de-lirious abandon under the shades ofthe red lanterns and seemed moreand more to be entirely oblivious ofeach other as the evening wore on.The dance was quite characteristic ofGreenwich Village parties. Thosepresent at the ball entered into thespirit of the design and helped tomake it the success it proved to be.ISeveral gentlemen not knowingwhat the Bowery really is, came inevening clothes. Other cosurneswere very picturesque, in that theyvaried from a night shirt and a wigto as Mephistophelian outflit.. Thedresses of the girls present were quitein keeping with the lighting, sincethere seemed to be a scarcity of lbotll.

The decorations seemed to disap-pear at an alarming rate and in theorder of their value to the souvenirhunters. The first to go wvere thesketches from the live models, whiclwere placed about the interior of theExhibition Room. Soon the colorfulposters from Old Howard wvere takenby some art connoisseurs.

The decorations committee collsist-ing of Wayne A. Soverns '30, JosephM. Shelley '30, George F. Schatz '30,and James G. Carr '29 appreciated theinterest that the visitors sllowed intheir art.

As Tech Show this year consists ofa number of short skits there are no

long parts to learn and all the linesare easy. Because of the number andvariety of skits used there is oppor-tunity for many students to take

part in the Show. The coach wishesall students who have had any ex-perience or who are interested in thework to be present Tuesday afternoon.

More musical numbers are stillwanted for the show. Fast lively foxtrots are desired.

In a modern ship repair yard's su(-cessful operation, the human equa-etion is one of the most importantfactors to he considered stated Mr.

George H. Steblins '17 at a meetingof the Naval Arclitecture SocietyTuesday night. The meeting las heldat the winter quarters of the BostonYacht Club, due to the work of Pro-fessor G. Owen in securing the per-mission of the Yacht Club officialsto hold the meeting there.

Excellent work witlh a fair r eturnon the investment is another necessityin present day Naval Repair said Mr.Stebbins' in continuing his speech.Photograpls of ships that seemedready for the junk yard were shownon the screen and after explainingsome of the more important detailsgone through in the repair of a ship,he showed views of these same shipsafter they had been repaired. Itwas hard to believe that some of thesewrecks could ever have been madeseaworthy again. The organization ofShip repair yards was also explainedby the speaker.

Mr. Stebbins is General Managerof the Boston Plant of the BethlehemShipbuilding Corporation Ltd. andhas had a gread deal of experience inshipbuilding circles and is one of theforemost men in this part of the coun-try on the subject.

NEWSIES IN GREAT SHAPE

For the first time in history, thewinners of THE TECH-technique andVoo-Doo-T. E. N. battles will engagein a football game to decide the su-premacy among the publications atthe Institute. A cup has been donatedby Pi Delta Epsilon, the nationaljournalistic fraternity, and will be pre-sented to the winning publication.

Since THE TECH'S crushing vic-tory over the 'snique last Wednesdayand Voo-Doo's defeat of T. E. N. inthe mud battle last Thursday, planshave been made for the winning pub-lications to meet Wednesday, Novem-ber 27 at 2:30 o'clock. "Pat" Patti-son, the wandering referee of the T.C.

In past Rears there havealways been just one or two outstand-ing runners to whom the title wasceded without question. This year theold "sure-bet" runners are not onthe list, but in their places come anumber of championship calibre men,experienced from past intercollegiateencounters, who will provide as t'hrill-ing a duel for first place honkrs ashas been seen ill the history of therace.

Others prominent in the play in-clude Conway Tearle, Lowell Sher-man and William Courtenay, all castas suitors of the heroine, and littleFreddie Burke Frederick. The boy'spart is important and he performswith a pleasing sincerity and naivete.Alec B. Fraucis, whom everyone en-joys, has an unfortunately small part.

Although the plot is slightly shIop-worn, the cast gives a convincing per-formance. Some of the scenes showthe usual movie "set" of a jungle, andthe rain hisses on the roof and thetom-toms rumble in quite the ortho-dox manner. The story has a moral-never again should any of theaudience base his opinion on merecircumstantial evidence alone.

Publix presents one of its star stageshows in "Mardi Gras", a colorful,tuneful revue whose motif is the fam-ous New Orleans fete. Martin Downeydisplays, at least, a very fine voice,and with him appear a number ofother stars.

treat themselves to the well knowndelicacy which has become so popularin this country in recent years.

It is also reported that the phasedisplacement angle of apple pies is tobe increased from 30 to 45 degrees.This undertaking, according to Mr.Bridges, has been made possible onlyby the application of the most ad-vanced modern methods of industrialresearch. After encountering numer-ous difficulties, not the least of whichwas the necessity of developing a spe-ciaI cutting fork, the staff of the Tex-tile Laboratory has succeded in de-signing a new and inexpensive type ofpie crust. Always a believer in thewisdom of giving the customer theadvantages of decreased productioncosts, Mr. Brid-es has decided on theabove innovation.

Thus is upheld again the oft reiter-ated assertion of the Lounger thatWalker offers absolutely the lastword in restaurant service within theborders of the campus of Technology.

Another person who does not agreewith Professor Robert E. Rogers ofthe English Department on his viewsof "snobbery" is Wrilliam Butterworth,President of the National Clhamber ofConmerce. In an address recently de-livered to the students of Boston Uni-versity he urged the men to cultivatean unsnobbish attitude towards theirfellows.

Mr. Butterworth stated, "One of thewoI-st starting points a young mallcan have is to come out of collegew-ith a firm conviction of his super-iolity. Nowvhere ese in the world arethere such favorable facilities for alusiness education as are offered in

Kappa SigmaApproximately 250 bids were sent

out to the formal dance which washeld at the IXappa Sigma House, onBay State Road, last Friday evening.At midnight there were over 75couples dancing to the music fur-nished by Reggie Sackett's orchestra.

A division of colleges into threetypes for different types of studentsis the plan proposed by professorDavid Snedden of Teachers College,Columbia. He would lave one forthe "bread-and-butter" or pre-profes-sional student, another designed forthe coon-skin coated, hip flask totingyouth who prefers girls to study, anda third for the "quiet seeker afterlearning." Tle basis for this ideais said to be a recent suggestion byDean Max McConn of Lehigh that anew type of "gentlemen's college"be established for students interestedprimarily in extra-curricular activities.

Workmen engaged in drainage ex:-cavations at the Tower Bridge roadin the heart of London, have uncov-ered human skulls and bones of ani-mals, several hundred years old.

UNANIMOUS, BUT HASTYWTITH impetuous students unanimous in their "hope against

hope", a petition requesting the inclusion of January 2-ndin the holiday vacation is constantly gaining eager signers.About seven hundred men have already placed their signatureson the petition, and there is no real reason why the whole stu-dent body, unthinking as it is in such cases, should not signifyits affirmative desire in this matter.

For no one wishes to start school on the day immediatelyfollowing New Years. It is necessary that those who live indistant parts of the country leave home before any of the NewYear festivities beg>in. Even those who live nearby must f orf eithaving dinners with their families in order that they may beback to school oll time. Why shouldn't they want an extra dayof vacation?

On the "con" side of the argument, there are a number ofimportant considerations. The program for the school terms ismade out several years in advance, and any departure from itnecessitates that numerous changes in the curriculum be made.After making allowance feor the various legal holidays and!Field Day, the Christmas holidays, mid-term recess and Springvacation, there remains a school year of approximately onehundred eighty days. Courses are made out with this as abasis, and if the one vacation is lengthened, some other mustsuffer.

This year is the eighth of a series, and introduces severalirregularities. School began this fall later than usual, andGraduation Day is not until June 10th. There is no possibilityof shifting graduation day, and even if there were, the otherchanges incident to the shift would immediately make such a Imove out of the question.|

Obviously it is easy to get student signers for this petition.IAlso it is very probable that a petition signed by 2000 menlwould carry considerable weight with the faculty. But why lnot -et somne faculty signatures to the petition? Certainly theiwritten acquiescence of a number of professors to the plan be-Ifore it is presented to the whole group would be a favorable|indication.}

Whatever is done must be done quickly. The next regularmeeting of the faculty will be December 18th, which will be too|late fo a-ny action to betaken oiithe petition. It should either|be presented to the President or the Secretary of the Faculty,Xand a special meeting of the faculty w ill probably be called to|consider it.I

While there is doubt that the petition will bring favorableaction from the faculty, it would seem that so unaminous an j'expression of student opinion should certainly be given con-lsiderationl. However, if there is a sincere objection to the waythe holidays are arranged at present, it would be well to insti-|gate some action against next year's calendar. ChristmasIvacation in 1930 does not start unltil December 24th, and that|

IF PIPES made the man, anybodyI at all could rise in the world justby smoking a few pounds of Edge-worth. But pipes do not make the man.

Men make the pipe-most men do.Somewhat depends on the individual,more on the pipe, and the tobacco ismost important of all. Things mustbe congenial.

Edgeworth is a congenial tobacco;cool, slow-burning, fully flavored.Edgeworth has poise, kindly goodnature, real tobacco personality-Edgeworth welcomes new friends.Many a good man has been pledgedto pipes by Eldgeworth alone.

Like to meet Edgeworth? Just askwith the coupon-and the postmanwill bring your first few pipefuls ofthe genuine, three years seasoned ifit's a day. Our treat, if yor please.

The lower animals rere placed on alegal equality with human beings ilolden days, according to an articlein The Law Journal here. The Jour-nal points out that in ancient timesan animal which killed a man, wassentenced to die the same as a manwould have been undel similar cir-cumstances. As late as 1383 in Ire-land, a rooster was sentenced to beburned at the stake for the crime oflaying an egg.

Dr. Arthur A. Mitten, only son ofthe late Thomas E. Mitten. has re-nounced his right to his father's mil-lions because his fatler's will leftthe bulk of his estate to the causeof cooperation between capital andlabor. Legally, the money should goto the younger Mitten in spite of thewill because under the Pennsylvaniastate law, no bequest to charitableinstitutions made within 30 days ofa man's death is legal.

Deans Winternitz from MledicalSchool Tells of Work: of

Yale Institute

The origin and plans of the Instituteof Human Relations at Yale U~nivers-ity were told Saturday night by DeanM. C. Winternitz, head of the schoolof medicine at the university, in anaddress before 225 social workers atthe fourth New England conferenceof the Child Welfare League of Ameri-ca in the Twentieth Centulry Club.

In the last analy sis the instituteplans to examine the human beingfrom all angles and to apply theknowledge gained to everyday life, hesaid. To obtain this knowledge thereactions of patients w~ill be taken,their mode of life, reaction to variousphenomena in their existence, reac-tiOll to the ordinary events in theirlives, and their mental and physicalcondition, will be thoroughly examinedand the results evaluated.

Introduced by Prof. Felix Frank-furter of the Harvard law shool as theman "who, I suspect, if the truth wereknown, conceived the plan," DeanWinternitz said the plan was notthe work of any individual, and if theexperiment had not been tried atYale first, it would have been at-tempted at somewhere in the nearfuture.

C. C. Carsten, executive director ofthe league, spoke in the afternoon. liesaid the family unit is largely disre-garded by social workers, in favor ofthe individual, that the measuringstick of social service work is thecharacter of public rather than privatesocial work.

At the afternoon session, KennethL. Messenger, commissioner of child,welfare of Connecticut, spoke on thel

Tech in Turksey Representa-tive Tells of Work

Judson T. Biehle '27, the Tech inTurkey representative has just senta letter to Mr. Wallace M. Ross con-cerning his activities in Robert Collegein Constantinople. Some excerptswhich were particularly interesting,with Mr. Ross' permission, are pre-sented herewith.

"Didn't any Tech men come to Eu-rope this past summer? I did notmeet one in my travels. This sum-mer was quite interesting and enter-taining, howvever, with ruined Asiaticcities, Bulgarian mountains, opera inMunich and Salzburg, a bicycle trip inBavaria, a student convention inBudapest, and a couple of weeks iniItaly.

The laboratory students are learn-ing to write reports fairly well, al-though some of them still think thata good conclusion reads like this:

"I wvish to state that the experimentwas performed successfully."

"We have been fortunate this yearin gaining a two man track team onour teaching staff. Caleb Gates, sonof our President, an all around trackand field man at Oxford and SheldonCollier, the Brown Olympic star, arehere and have, of course, created quitea little excitement among the boys.You can start an argument any timeas to whether these two men could de-feat the school track team. It is agreedthat they would win about eight firstplaces and a couple of seconds but thestudents expect to clean up on therest. It will be an interesting meet ifit occurs.

"Some new American students haveentered Robert College and I had oneat my table for a few meals. He washighly popular with the native stu-denlts as he taught them more slangthan they had heard in the past year.There are two Americans in myPhysics classes but they make almostthe worst grades in the class.

"One of the movie theaters in Con-stantinople is now showing 'sound'

lfilms. It has shown two Americanfilms with sound effects only but thiswleek there is a genuine 'talkie' tobe seen and heard.

"The new Fordl assembly plant has.just erected a large sign next to amosque and wrill begin production

lsoon. Evseryone wants one of thetraditional five dollar a day jobs, rep-

;resenting opulence to the ordinary.workman around here.;"If you haven't seen the October

,copy of the Geographic, Please lookat it. It contains some excellent views

lof the Bosphorus taken by Mr. Wil-,Piams of our community."

Well, at last the pearty is over, andwhat a party it was. The excellentmusic added to the success of thed59air, although it didn't make muchdifference after 12 o'#clock. GeorgeShatz had to do a twin act, besidestaking tickets from. those entering, hehad to entertain the three femaleswhich he brought. He certainly be-lieves that happiness lies in num-bers.

Several fellows from the dorms whowere present seemed lost in the Hole.One poor deluded freshman didn'tknow where to get a drink for him-self, but his "parcel," who was notso dumb, soon found the place. No,he was looking for a drink of water,-what else do freshmen drink.

"Curly"' Co-fran seemed to believethat the Bowery was in Florida. Hisnight-shirt may however have proveduseful in that lie didn't have to un-dress in order to get into bed.
