The concert will include numbersby the Banjo Club, Glee Club, Mando-linl Club and the Jazz Band. Special-ty acts will include a piano duet byC. W. Clay '26 and H. L. King '29, aviolin solo by G. W. Smith '26 accom-panied by G. W. Bates '26 on thepiano, and probably a brass quartetteby W. H. 13orghes-ani '26, and A. R.Keith '27 playing trombones, with P.C. David-son '26 and W. A. Wit-ham '27playing trumpets.

To get to the Edison club house,take a Dudley Street car from Massa-chusetts station, transfer at North-ampton street for an Uphanis Cornercar. Get off at the Edison Plant,which is between Northampton Streetand Edward Everett Square on Mas-sachlusetts Avenue.

Christmas Party ArrangedArrpalgements for the Christmas

Party have been completed and theticket sale will begin shortly afterDecember 1. The party will be heldat Whitney Hahi on December 18.

According to the management thisChristmas Party has been planned totake the place of the Fall and WinterConcerts. Due to the two term sys-tem the possibility of having threeconcerts is precluded, for the mid-years come at the time when theWinter Concert has been given in thepast.

W. P. Lowell Jr. '26 states, "Bycombining these two conc~erts we aregoing to make a bigger and bette'rconcert than before. This party willcome at a very logical time as faras the work of the student body isconcerned and since it is the biggestevent of the Fall social season atTechnology it should prove a fittingclimax."

The winner of the Annual PrizePoster will be announced shortly. Vir-gil Quadri, last year's winner, is notat present at Technology and the out-come of the contest is close. Sincethe broadcast many telegrams and letsters have been received from peopleall over the country who enjoyed theconcert broadcasted last Tuesday nightfrom WBZ, Springfield.

Concrete Mixes Will be Dis-cussed ine Series of Talks

. Next Month

A series of six lecture demonstra-tionls on the proportioning of mnixeswill be conducted under the auspices

of the Portland Cement Associationw ith the co-operatioll of the Institutein room 3-270 starting December I.,

to which anyone interested is invited

and for which there is no charge.Possibilities of so designing con-

crete mixtures that a predeterminedstrength may be corroborated by fu-1ture tests have received considerable,attention during the last few years.Many laboratory tests have been madefor the purpose of establishing anytruths which might possibly be linkedup -with the original theories in thisregard, many national constructionorganizations have spent considerabletime and trouble in job analyses, andthe Portland Cement Association hasfollowed these developments closely.

It is the intention in these lecturesto study from a practical point ofview the questions of water-cement ra-tio, flneniess moedull, strengths and jobcontrol through actual concrete mix-ers from which test cylinders will bemade and compressive failures will bemeasured. All the details -of the bulk-in- of sand, moisture in sand, inunda-tion methods, aggregate sizes, scien-tific mix designs, will be studied indetail.-

Anyone interested in registering forthis course should address the Port-lalld Cement Association, 10 HighStreet, Boston, in order to make surethat his name is -included as it is nec-essary to limit the registrations to200, at this time.

Percent Accuracy, SaysProfessor Nortoni;umerous Blanks Circulating

In Class Rooms ShowMany Running

pRESIDENT IS CHAIRMAN

Small distances to the aveTage stu-dent mind mean something in the na-ture of a few thousandths of an inch,but according to Professor J. T. Nor-ton of the Department of Physics,measurements to one hundred mil-lionth of an inch are now possible,with an accuracy of one per cent orless. The X-ray is the means of suchprecision measurements and it is real-ly used as a sort of microscope to de-termine the distance between atomsin crystalline structures.

There are reasons for this carefulwork, among them being the fact thatsuch measurements show the arrange-ment of the atoms within the crystaland the difference between amorphousand crystalline materials is discerni-ble. The various allotropic formswhich a material possess also can bedefined. The X-ray used in this formis more of a research tool that oneof production and at the present' timeits use industrially is somewhat doubt-ful, stated Professor Norton.

-Valuable to ChemistsThe Powder Pattern method is the

term applied and its field of useful-ness is not limited to metallurgy alonebut it is equally valuable to the chem-ist as a means of analysis and to theceramic manufacturer, also. The crys-talline material is prepared usually bygrinding to an extremely fine powderand it is held mechanically by paste,within small glass tubing or even inthe form of wire or sheets. After be-ing in the field of X-rays for severalhours and having used a photographic

-films fur recording the results, the char-acteristics of a metal or an alloy canbe readily determined. This method isuseful in the study of alloys, interme-tallic compounds and salts.

Though such determinations do notfind much usefulness as direct testsin the industrial field, the knowledgegained can be applied Ito commercialpractice with benefit, according toProfessor Norton.

Vail LibrarianJust A nnounced

Will Take Effect Next Month-Mrs. Lane Goes to Lake

Placid Club

Mrs. Lane, librarian of the Vail Li-brary, has accepted an offer to takecharge of the library of the LakePlacid Club at Lake Placid, New York,and will complete her duties at the In-stitute in the middle of December.

Dr. Melvil Dewey, founder of theclub, is responsible for engaging Mrs.Lane as librarian of that organization.Dr. Dewey was known as the "Father"of the American Library Movement 50years ago and is the originator of thelbrary system which is now employ-ed in the Central Library.

Professor D. C. Jackson, head of theDepartment of Electrical Engineeringwhen questoned as to Mrs. Lane's res-ignation made the following state-ment. "We of the Electrical Engine-ering Department regret to hear thatMrs. Lane is leaving, as we appreciatethe work that she has done in ac-quainting students with, and showingthem how to use the library."

"Over one quarter of the students atthe Institute are engaged in rthe studyof electrical subjects and the import-ance of the Vail Library in this studycannot be over-emphasized. In thislibrary we have a very rich and com-

| plete collection of books, and to makeI the best use of this collection students

must know how to use the library.""In selecting a librarian to take

Mrs. Lane's place we shall, I am sure,be able to find one who will take thesame interest in the students that shbhas."

Mrs. Lane wishes to extend the invi-ta~tion through THE TECH to all con-nected with the Institute to call at the

ILake Placid Club and inspect the li-brary whenever in -that section of thecountry.

Monl.But the Lounger's work is never

done.*The Louilger seriously and frankly

wonders just what the departmentsreally expect fr(?m Seniors. Do theyactually expect these men to keep upwith their work' from day to day, ordo they realize that nine out of tenSeniors simply scramble along lettingone subject slide wvhile catching upin the r est. then when a quiz comesalong letting everything else go, tocram enough knowledge in that onesubject to pass ? An allegorical rep-resentationl of the average Selliorwould be at watcher on a leaking- dike.holdingl il his hands a limited a-l()inout

of clay. \N'ith it he must patch ulpthe holes eniougah to keep the thingtogether.

Thle Lounlger hopes he is a normalmall with a fair balance betweellstudies and outside interests. So he}feels justified in saying that if tiledepartments expect the work kept upday by day, it is a physical impossi-bility with the present -24-hour (lay,and if they are satisfied wilth the minadscramble something is wrong. TheLounger is taking some wonderfullyinteresting courses this year, coursesto which he would like to devote extratime. But instead of really enjoyingthese subjects and his Senior year,it is a case of dab at the surface ofthis, and that, and the other thing, un-til it becomes monotonous drudgery.

The Faculty has its point of view.They claim an engineer must know alittle of everything, and that the moreinformation the student is exposed to,the more will stick. The question isdoes it stick permanently or merelyuntil exams are over? To the Loungerit seems like a case of filling a pailby forming a ring around it andsplashing water into it. The pail isfilled eventually but half -of the wateris wasted.

The Lounger being by natUre bash-ful, shrinks from the idea of invad-ing, the mystical realm of woman's

gr blts. But hearing of a very inter-esting series of articles to be -startedin. the Ladies Home Journal, he bough'tit- copy and opened it expecting toblush at much hosiery and negligee.In this he was disappointed-he evenfound an advertisement for ni.e-n's

clothes. But to return-in these arti-cles ;a college man is going to at-temzpgt to show the Teal conditionsamong the undergraduates at vrarious

INTELLIGENT GIRLSFAVORED AT N. Y. U.

Students Vote for PersonalityAbove Beauty-- Drinking

Condemned

Questionnaires answered by 100 9tu-dlents and ten of the faculty of NewtYork University revealed that the"ideal girl" must have personality andintelligence, not beauty. To the ques-t ionl, "would you marry a girl men-tallyr superior to you?" fifty-two of thestudents answered "no," forty-fivewl ote "yes," and three others were

unecided.To the quesiton, "are education and

intelligence necessary?" ninety of the1(00 students answered "yes," and onlyten "no." Those who answered nega-tively based their opinions on thefact that they knew girls who hadnothing more than a grade schooltraining.

The "ideal girl" must be good-look-ing-, for seventy-one insisted on thisqualification. Good looks, however, donlot make up for lack of personality,fo-l when asked "do you prefer beautyto personality?" ninety-one wrote "no."

Personality proved to be among thecb ief: attributes of a perfect woman.ninety-five out of a hundred sayin--

that this quality was one of the most.ilnportant of all feminine virtues.

To the question regarding the use ofliquor by girls, twelve were in favor,five not concerned, and eighty-threeopposed it

Cigarettes are also in disfavor. Al-thou-h mlost of the students weresmokers themselves, eighty-two ob-jected to the use of Cigarettes by girls,fir e (lid not mind what they did and

thir teen_ were in favor of allowingtlienil to smoke if they wanted to.

Rtou-te was also disapproved. Sixty-five reere against it. Athletic womenwvese favored by a vote of fifty-eightto forty.

The "ideal girl" must also be agood dancer. Only nineteen thoughtit was unnecessary for a girl to be a(lanlcer to meet their standards.

SECOND HANDICAPIMEET OF SERIES IS

HELD TOMORROW

Track Events D~rawing Many,While Field Events Are

Being Neglected

MOSTLY NEW MEN REPORT

Handicaps Have Beens Adjust-ed Since First Meet of

The Season

Tomorrow the track m-anagemenI will conduct the second of the seriesof handicap meets to be run on TechField until the cold weather mnakes itimpossible to use the cinder track.The first meet held several weeks agodrew a large number of men andCoach Os H~edlund expects even moreout for the different events tomorrow

It is Ilot necessary that a man beout. for tracki in order to enter thehandicap meets. The size of the hana-dicaps that ale being given to the dif-ferent men is sufficient to give everyman coming out for the meet a fairchance to woin. The-re is also the addedinducement in the different cups of-fered by the Advisory Council to theindividual winners.

Field Events NeglectedThe system of handicap meets held

regularly is one of the best means ofstrengqthening a team. Thle same sys-tein is employed by the University ofPenllsylvania and Illinois and otheruniversities which boast crack trachsqulads. Coaches Hedlund and Co-n-nors have uncovered several of theirI-ood men by this system, and menthat were never seriously consideringcominlv- otlt for track have struck. Itis not however compulsory for a manto remain out for the sport because heente-rs a handicap meet.

Althoug1h the track events drew aconsiderable number in the last meet,the field events on the whole wererather neglected. Last year the fieldevents drew nearly the same numberof men that the track events did, andsome of the keenest competition ofthe year was displayed in the polevault, hurdles, shot put- and hammer.U~nless quite a fewv men show some in-terest in these events soon, Doe Con-nors is going to havre tough sleddinglo t11Tn out a winning field eventsquad when spring rolls around.

L~eness Rounding I nto FormIt will be interesting to note the

results of the second series of eventsand compare the winners of theseevents with the first meets winners.

It is not likely that there will be an-other double winner in tomorrow'smeet, as the handicaps wvill be moreevenly adjusted. In the first run, A.1-1. Shedd walked away with the 75-ytard and 150-yard dash in rather easystyle last meet, so it will be necessaryto give the rest of the entries a stilllarger handicap as Shedd ran fromscratch in both races.

Tomorrow's meet will probably finddGeorge Leness in better conditionthan in the fir st meet. Leness is nottip to the form he was in when he cap-fred the New Englands and upset the

(lope in the Nationals, so was not ableto give the lax ge handica p he wascalled upon to do in the first meet.Leness is not forcing his training, asO)s Hedlllnd is priming him to capturethe .Nationals this year, and there'ippears a strong likelihood of his do-ing so.

Doc Connors is at the same timegrooming Hank Steiribrenner for the

niien in the handicap meets at thistime is no true criterion nof theirstrength. At the present time, thereis a dearth of older material entering11he meet. Most of the men that areentering are inexperienced, so they arereceiving competition only from eachother.

SPIKES

It was too bad that Fred Peaslee ofNew Hampshire could not run in theInltercollegiates. Fred has never yetbeen pressed in a long distance race.He finished about two hundred yardsahead of Hillman of Maine in theNew England games while Tibbettsled the same man by about one hun-dred and fifty yards. It would cer-tainly have been great to see the up-sta te man abreast with the Harvardand Syracuse leaders. The sport crit-ics would then have a chance to com-

pare two entirely different forms ofrunning for the Crimson flash raceswith his arms flying out in front andWis body erect, while the New Hamp-shire harrier has a sort of swaying

strong Army eleven to such a lowscore the Beavers showed that theyare a fast aggregation. The cadetsshowed a fast offense which was dif-ficult to solve and many times the

Engineer backs came to the front andbroke up their running game.

Captain Luis Arana played a stellargame for the Enginers with his fight-

ing tactics in breaking up the oppon-ents thrusts, and his ability to keephis feet at all times stood him in fine

stead. Young and Martinez also

played in fine form, both playing their

last game for the Institute.The cadet score came early in the

first, half before the Engineers could

organize their offense and the furious

onslaught of the Army forwards bTolke

through the Engineer defense and

slipped the ball by the hands of goalie

Flynn. From that time on the Beaver

uprights remained unscathed, but sev-eral times Flynn was kept busy guard-

the goal.It aas a tough game to lose, par-

ticularly after a number of near goals

on the part of Germain and Martineztowards the end of the game. Gerlllain

played a.pretty game at outside rightand he'should prove a valuable man

on next year's eleven. In the second

period the ball was kicked back and

forth, first -on the Beaver's side andthen on the Cadet's and of the fieldwith the cadets having the edge.

Young's toe was a deciding factor

all through the game, his bootts all

going 40 yards or more consistently

just as in the game with Clark lastweek. The loss of this game means

that the Engineers have wound up

that the Engineers have wound up

their regular schedule but a game will

undoubtedly be arranged with the A11Star Chinese team of Boston withinthe next two weeks.

A fair idea of how fast the Varsityrace was run might be obtained fromtile fact that the last three ffien'wereseven minutes behind the leaders.This trio was not as bad as anyonemight suppose, either, for every en-trant in this meet has to be a realrunner. Only the cream of the hilland dale men ever are allowed to com-pete in the National Intercollegiates.

Yale certainly pulled a surprise illthe freshmen run when they rompedhome a winner by a comfortable margin. The New Haven harriers did notshine exceptionally before the Inter-collegiates and were generally picked

BEAVER SWIMMERSCONFRONTED WITH

HEAVY SCHEDULE

Initial Meet of Seasons WithBoston University on

January 9

FROSH HAVE NINE MEETS

Facing one of the stiffest aggrega-tions of tank opponents ever sched-uled for an Engineer swimming team.the natators have their work cut outfor them between low and the open-ing meet with Bcston University onJanuary 9. Intervening, however, willcome the interclass meet on Decem-ber 11. providing a good workout, asa preliminary to the stiff schedule laidout for them.

The 192G schedule includes four col-leges which were not on last year'sschedule, namely, Williams, Dart-mouth, Union, and Syi acuse. Theseteams supplant Wesleyan, West Point,Yale and Lowell of last year's compe-tition. The freshmaii aggregation willface two more opponents than the var-sity with a total of ten meets. Withthis heavy schedule the yearlings willhave to do Usome navigating to equalthe fine showing of last year's fresh-man team.

Not nearly enough men are comingout for the interclass competitionwhich is but two weeks away and itlooks now as if the class of 1928would be the next to inscribe theirnumerals oon the shield which was pre-sented to the Institute by the Brook-line Swimming Club. For a man toenter the interclass meet it is not nec-essary for him to come out for swim-ming or to be eligible for the varsity.The only qualification necessary isthat he be a student art the Institute.

The varsity has not yet been pickedand will not be until after the inter-

class meet. Anyone placing in thismeet is almost sure of a place on thevarsity.

Season to Open With MJcGill

Here Feb. 6-Stiff ScheduleBeing Planned

With a little over a month of prac-tice Coach Tommy Rawson is slowlybut surely whipping the boxing can-didates into shape.

Every afternoon at the hangar twen-

ty to thirty leather pushing aspirantsare seen putting on the gloves, step-

ping a few fast rounds and takingtheir share of punishment. Around thecorridors during the day, more thanone black eye and swollen jaw is seen.This is the kind of never say die

spirit that is the foundation of a win-

Ining team, no matter what the sport

may be. It is the type of spirit thatmake good teams champions and poor

teams good ones.

Need Men in Heavyweight Classes

Although the season does not com-mence until February 6, Coach Raw-

son is directing training as if the firstmatch were next week. He is taking

no chances of not producing a pow-erful team. From every outside ap-

pearance it is evident that both thevarsity and freshman aggregations

will produce teams capable of takingthe measure of their adversaries.

IWith Captain Epstein, Kwok andFlya1lj of last season's varsity as anucleus, Coach Rawson is stopping atnothing to bring forth a team of firstclass calibre. He has yet to see a can-Ilidata for the 168 and 175 poundclasses. Outside of this he has awealth of splendid material. Peatfieldand Conroy of last year's freshmansquad will make a strong bid for the11 and 145 pound classes respective-
