Benny Goodman's orchestra, recent-ly signed to play at the
Inter-Fratern-
ity Conference dance on April 30, isconceded by many to be the
best andmost popular in this country, and isalso the most youthful
of the well-known bands, from the point of viewof actual
service.
The band, whose Swing rhlythmshave won for Goodman the
popularlyaccepted title of "King of Swing," hasbeen playing
together for less thentwo years, having made its introduc-tion at
the Hotel Roosevelt in NewYork in April, 1935.
Goodman himself, one of the na-tion's foremost clarinetists, is
one ofthe youngest conductors in the busi-ness, being only 27. He
was born inChicago, and bought his first clarinetfrom a
pay-as-you-play music dealeradvertising in a local magazine.Later
he studied the instrument seri-0usiy at the Lewis Institute,
and"turnedl Professional" when he was]2. At 36, he played several

the incomes of security holders certainly is not great-ly
changed. This should be considered as a reasonfor not increasing
the tuition of those at presentstudying at Tech.
It seems to me that the fairest way of raising the,tuition would
be to do so without letting the increaseaffect students now
registered here. When -NotreDame wanted to augment their tuition
several yearsago, they did this so as to affect only the members
ofthe incoming classes. These students were able totake the higher
tuition into account, and thus wereable to plan their expenses
accurately for their fouror five years. This plan seems more just
as it doesnot place anyone in the awkward position of havingspent
two years at a university only to find it impos-sible to continue
because of the added financial bur-den. Could this plan not be used
at Tech in the pres-ent case ?-JOHNi W. KRAkUS, '40.

Question: Do you think that theCorporation's action in raising
thetucition to $600 is justified?
Isadore Schwarts, '38, XVII, M. I,/T. Dormitories.
Yes!! If scholarships are increasedproportionately, smart people
neednot feel the increase at all. There-fore I am in favor of the
action.
John H. Crankshaw, '39, II, 53Trowbridge Street, Cambridge.
Past attendance at another insti-tution leads me to appreciate
the ar-gument that the $600 fee here is lit-tle more than tuition
plus fees atsome other schools. It is not as un-fair as first
inspection might suggest,yet I've little doubt but that the ex-tra
$100 will place considerable hard-ship upon those of us whose
financialcondition is precarious.
'Edwin M. Brown, '39, VI, 17 Cot-tage Street, Norwood.
I am decidedly not in favor of thischange. It will undoubtedly
prohibitmany students who might be able topull lthrough under the
present sys-tem from receiving the benefits of anM. I. T.
education. No other schoolof this type in the country finds sucha
high rate necessary-why shouldTech ?
David WV. Foss, '40, ¥, Mi. I. 1.Dormitories.
No!! The class of '40 came into theInstitution with the
understandingthat the tuition was to be $500. Itwould be only fair
to them to wait forthem to be graduated before raisingthe
tuition.
William Henry Austin, '38, II,President, Combined Professional
so-cieties, Riverbank Court Hotel, Cam-bridge.
Since the average cost of putting astudent through Tech is well
over athousand dollars, there is some justi-fication for the
increase in tuition assuggested by the Corporation. How- Iever, the
income of the Institute issuch that it should continue withoutsuch
an increase in its present policyof educating its .students at the
low-est possible expense to the student.

Editor, The Tech: Well, it seems as if politicalsharpshooting
has started already-, as evidenced bythis little duel between Mr.
G. Richard Young andThe Ferret.
All campaigns have their mud battles, but this bat-tle
especially annoyed me because of the surprised,holier-than-thou
attitude which The Ferret took whenrihis generously distributed
derogatory remarks eliciteda warm response from an opposition
camp.
Of course The Ferret is entitled to his personalopinion, as is
also Mr. Young. But Ferret, you madesome statements as "some pretty
petty politics"' werepulled by a "board of directors" of the 5:15
Club,misnamed because "nothing is directed in that WalkerBasement
hole;" "the careless reinstatement of Mr.William McCune on the
strength of a flimsy excuse"was "bad"; and "it begins to look as if
the InstituteCommittee may soon have another probe on itshands."
Then you indulged in some delightfully ironicstatements concerning
the Junior Prom. After doingall thnis in one column, Ferret, don't
try to convince usthat you have "never, either directly or by
inference,scored any persons in this column."
Another thing is the statement that "Mr. G. RichardYoung has
written finis to his impeccability as anauthority on student
affairs . . . by signing his nameto a letter to the editor last
Tuesday." How wouldThe Ferret have Mr. Young reply to his attack,
by ananonymous letter? Probably Mr. Young feels as I doabout people
who, while hurling political invectives,use anonymity to protect
themselves, personally, fromthe effects of a reply on the part of
the opponent. Ishould think a Tech strident would have intestinal
for-titude enough to stand publicly for his personal opin-ions and
not hide in the lee of an unsigned column.-JOHN H. BECH, '40.
SCRAPAND STEEL
Robert F. Eastabrook, Vice-Presi-dent and General Manager of the
NewEngland Telephone and TelegraphCompany will be the speaker at a
din-ner and reception given by the Grad-uate House at six o'clock
Wednesday,March 24 in the North Hall of WalkerAMemorial. PMr.
Eastabrook will speakon "The Position of the Public Utili-ties in
the World Today."
E see by the papers that the steel mills,alarmied at the high
price they pay for
their supplies of scrap iron, are trying to
throw the bugaboo of a shortage of an impor-
tant natural resource at Congress in order to
get passed an embargo on scrap.
The -August New York Times reports that
"executives of several steel concerns have in-
formed members of both houses of Congress
that heavy scrap steel expors had reduced
rhe i-mi'ediate- supply and raised the price of
scrap steel." So they want an embargo, to
lessen- demand and hence to lessen the price
that they have to pay for this comn:modity.Wle must give credit
to the gentlemen for the
soundness of their grasp of the law of supply
and demand and for being Viery frank in say-
ing just what they mean.

Propaganda of the steel mills to the con-
trary, there is not, and by the very nature of
American heavy industry, insisting as it does
on the principle of early obsolescence and re-
plDace,,et, , ther- never Aa, bd, .. 1^ , .4-~ rof
steel scrap in America- The steelmasters'
anguished cries about shortages caused by ex-
ports are hardly worth consideration; they
can secure all the metal they want by meeting
the market price. And in fact they do get all
the scrap in the country except that produced
within a few hundred miles of the sea coasts.
But the steady and large increases in our
scrap steel exports slhow that stories of Euro-
pean rearmanent are not appreciably exager-rated.
Editor, The Tech: The proposed increase in tuitioncertainly
seems reasonable considering the fact thatthe average cost per
student is at present about $1X00.But in spite of this, it seems to
me that it is ratherunfair to those students who are goad, but who
donot have the benefit of a scholarshiip. Thee-are manyin this
class who have plarmed a b-adget foir hei'-h col-leth years and to
whom the additiointl hundftd dol-lars makes a great deal of
difference, perhaps thedifference between a college degree and an
incom-plete cllege- education.
The editorial' in the Extra edition of The Tech con-tained an
artiele dealing with the prbposed ihtlrease.The article mentionled
the slight inflation which hascaused prices to go up all over the
country. It mustbe remermbered that the salaries of the majority
arenot immediately affected by the rise in prices; that
