Traffic Survey Under Col. EddyReveals Vital Statistics onHighway Driving Conditionsin Massachusetts.

One per cent of the worst drivers

ain lassachlusetts, cause more than 361per cent of the automobile accidentslin the State, according to a traffic andaccident survey carried on during thelast year under the supervision of theInstitute with Colonel Robert C. Eddy"i charge.

This and other important statistics.were compiled through the work of

the survey which employed a maxd-n'um of 1,200 workers, 450 graduateengineers, 125 of which were Tech-"ol0gY ren, and with as total payrollof about $400,000.

On December 9; 1933, Governor Elyequested Technology to supervise

Suha survey of accidents in order toetenine the real causes of accidents

headed and hones voting. For theaverage student the names on the bal.lots might hare just as well bee4taken indiscriminately out of the directory.

But before discussing a remedy forthis situation, let us investigate theeffectiveness of the Institute Committee in preventing electioneering in thepast. Last year-THE TEcHmpublishedan expose written by Marvin Silber.man, '34, showing how a large votiqgbloc has been formed in the dormi.tories with the aid of- several fraterz -ties. The aims of tbeis -voting bloc-were carried out successfully and i complete -secret. Another eap:14.le of less direct influence exercised by the-fraternities occurred immediately bee fore last Wednesday's elections, when-a mimeographed sheet -was circulated in some fraternities containing a lit of fraternity candidates. Ile naes-sage also included this question: ,Do you want the dormitory reside~nts and -commuters to get control of the JIM-ior Prom Committee?"

The dormitory men havte not beea -guiltless in this respect. The namaes of their candidates were posted in the =dormitories and copies of THE TEC HIwith dormitory candidates names ea- icircled were circulated, before the last N;election. And the long-forgotten and disorganizde commuters had a "meet- ing" before election day, not ostens.vibily a political rally, but the real pur.post of which was to get a commuter_onto the Junior Prom Committee.

If we admit that the law regulating

electioneering not only fails to accom. Iplish its major purpose Ibut- alsomakes nearly impossible- the honestchoice of the best man for office, there-is but one answer: the law should be _irepealed.

OPEN FORUM (Continued)

First of all, why shouldn't the Jun-ior Prom be run by Dorm Men andCommuters? The circular offers noreasonable, unbiased answer to thisquestion. It is a noble effort, that ofencouraging Fraternity spirit, butthe Junior Prom Committee should berepresentative of the three groupsthat make up the student body, andthere is no call for cut-throat compe-tion among them.

There is but one group of thesethree that considers the Fraternities"the social back-bone of the Insti-tute." That group is the Fraternities.They have absolutely no foundationfor such an assumption, and if thisis the general sentiment of all Fra-ternity men, they have been sadly dis-illusioned during their Institute ca-reer,

Fraternity dances are closed exceptto invited guests, while the Dormitor-ies and Commuters hold all their af-fairs open to the whole Institute.

The Fraternities are widely scat-terer and far from the center of Insti-tute activity. The Dormitories is theonly group of the three that is abso-lutely united and on the campus. Itis the group that leads a true Insti-tute life, makes best use of the Insti-tute facilities and lends the true as-pect of the spirit of cooperation tostudent organization. They do not"encroach" on anyone's rights in so do-ing, nor do they organize against anyother of the two groups with whichthey cooperate.

Moreover, there are men in theDormitories and among the Com-muters who have held and now holdthe highest positions in Institute stu-dent government, and have done thebest of work in these positions.

In view of these considerations,such an open expression of Fraternitysentiment toward Non-Fraternity menappears one-sided and perverse. Itbrings to a head a feeling among theFraternity Lroups that has long ex.isted without Eoundation and hasshown itself in Fraternity manipula-tion of Institute activities.

Electioneering

To the Editor of THE TECH:If someone had consciously tried to

device the most unsatisfactory sys-tem of electing class officers and com-mitteemen at the Institute, he couldnot have invented anything muchworse than the present system. Theinefficiencies and injustices of ourelectoral machine have too long beenoverlooked. Some action must betaken to make the student body poli-tics-conscious.

The prime fault of the system andthe factor which contributes most tothe student apathy is the overwhelm-ing lack of information about the menup for election. To most of the votersin the last class elections the nameson the ballots were no more thannames. They carried no significancebecause the voters had little or noway of knowing the qualifications ofthe men for whom thiey Heare voting.What is the result of this lack ofavailability of information ? The re-sult is widespread underg aduate lackof interest in the outcome of the elec-tions and consequent lack of feeling ofresponsibility on the part of the stu-dents in the executive and judicialmatters of major importance to thestudent body itself.

Information about the candidates isnot available because it is not legal.In the by-laws of the elections com-mittee is a ruling that makes anyform of electioneering in the Insti-tute illegal. The purpose of this lawis to prevent "dirty" politics in theform of mud-slinging that might takeplace in open campaigning and also toprevent the formation of voting blocs.Its real result as we have seen is avery effective obsrtuction to clear-

Like the Chinese farmer, all patriotism hadbeen squeezed out of his bones by prolongedand bitter suffering. He was an instinctiveinternationalist, sympathizing with the lowlyof all warring nations, passively resisting ag-gressionx by outsiders or by his own govern-ment. His attitude in the Russo-Japanesestruggle, for instance, wavered between in-difference and downright hostility to his gov-ernment's course.

It is still possible that the peasant, in spiteof seventeen years of "education" may still re.fuse to make sacrifices for victory in a Siber-ian theatre of war. His inertia would morethan offset the effects of an industrial plantwhose size is generally exaggerated, and ahuge, loyal, not too thoroughly equippedarmy.

A recent digest of the much publicized fiveyear plan claims that it resulted in no moreconstruction than the increase for one normalyear in the UnIited States.

However that may be, it is better for Rus-sia and for the world that the Soviet's newproletariat not to be put to the test of war.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTSNEW ENDOWMENTS

N the seventy years that Technology hasI existed it has accumulated an endowment ofsome thirty-five million dollars and the where-withal to develop one of the best educationalplants to be found anywhere. However, in re-spect to its non-curricular advantages, Tech-nology has not been so fortunate. It still lacksmany needed improvements for the recreationand housing of its students, which, with thepresent financial set-up, can only be obtainedby special endowment on the part of philan-thropic alumni or other interested persona.

Among the most urgent neds of this kindmight be mentioned an addition to WalkerMemorial with a swimming pool, more spacefor activities, and more lounging facilities, anew gymnasium to replace the prehistorichangar, and above all, an addition to the un-dergraduate dormitories. The original plansfor Walker Memorial called for wings extend-ing from each side of the present buildingcontaining all recreational facilities not pro-nrovided for in the main part of the building.Their construction has been postponed untilthe necessary funds are obtained. Similarly,while everyone who uses the hangar gymnasi-unm realizes the necessity for a .new structure,gymnasium buildings are expensive and thefunds for their construction cannot be ab-stracted from the regular operating expensesof the Institute.

The large waiting list kept by the dormi-tories at the first of this year bears evidenceto the need for another unit or two for un-dergraduates. With the transfer this year ofthree undergraduate halls to the GraduateHouse there has been a shortage of roomswhich has led to much hasty but necessitiouspledging to fraternities on the part of newstudents. Although dormitories are self-sup-porting when constructed, it requires an en-dowment of considerable proportions to erecTthem. If the increased enrollment predictedfor the next few years materializes, the needfor housing facilities will become a pressingone which should be anticipated far enoughahead of time to, prevent a serious shortage.

Without an energetic campaign for fundstoward these improvements there can be littlehope of seeing. them realized in the near fu-ture. The effect of the present financial situa-tion on the pocketbooks of potential donors IS"reflected here by the fact that capital gifts tothe Institute during the' past . fiscal yearrealed a new low. Most of Technology'spresent endowment has come as a result ofconcerted, whole-hearted campaigns. It isnow time to consider the advisability of an-other campaign of the- sane kind, only thistime to make the living conditions and recrea-tional facilities at the Institute the equal of inseducational plant.

STAGE and SCREEN SPORTS COMMENTThe Pursuit of S-Eappiness

The double extend& , makes a blush-ing success of "The Pursuit of Hap-piness", the theatre's latest attempt toshame the Boston grand'dames, whichis now playing its final week at theHollis.

Set in a cold winter during theRevolutionary War, the play tells theentirely amusing story of a Hessiondeserter from the British army, whois captured Incidentally by a Connecti-cut farmer, and eventually by thefarmer's daughter. The deserter,Max Christmann, pleased by theAmerican war-cry of liberty and thepursuit of happiness, is, however, be-wildered by New England's definitionof these ideals. Why, he asks at vari-ous times, must you be fined if you donot go to church? why can't you smtkeon Sunday? why are you arrested ifyou are not married to the woman?

But his greatest problem ariseswhen he begins to bundle, only to findthe saw-toothed center hoard swvingingdown betwen him and the girl, Pru-dence. Is this the way, he asks, thatyou do your "running after happi-ness'? Then he found that the boardcould swing up quite as easily asdown.

It was the servant girl Meg, though,who brought down the house. Meghad spells when she would get sweetfeelings about men, Meg couldn't goto bed wichen the militia was near, andshe never learned to lie, at least notvery well. One night Prudence caughther slipping out into the cold, andwondered why. "Oh"., said Meg, "I'mgoing to get something in the barn."She kept her promise too, and go somehay il her hair besides.

VeroA rm."_

As we look over the schedule of coming athletic events we note that theTech rifle team opens its season on Friday of this week- against the U. S.Marine Corps team. With only Wilbur Foote and Len Shapiro gone fromlast year's outfit, the 1934-35 group ought to be able to bring home more thanits share of victories. In addition to Greer, Hall, Rice, and Flood, SergeantMacDonnell has several new candidates who are no slouches in the art ofsharpshooting. Technology's rifle teams have been consistently good in theirperformances in the past, and as it appears now, we can expect another seasonof commendable marksmanship.

With Mort Jenkins not running up to his usual standard, Tech'scross-country team didn't fare so well when the final returns were in atthe New England I. C. A. A. Championships yesterday at Franklin Park.Jenkins' bad leg bothered him enough to keep him from finishing anybetter than twelfth. Undoubtedly his poor showing in contrast to thatof 1933 was also attributable to the fact that Mort was not in the best ofcondition because his leg kept him from working out last week.

That athletic bulletin which made its appearance in the main lobby re-cently is a very commendable improvement to the credit to the Athletic Asso-ciation. The bulletin publicizes all the coming athletic events to the studentbody in a clear and concise manner. In the past, publicity has been attainedby means of posters and newspapers and although these methods are alwayseffective in their respective ways, they are never quite able to take the placeof a single prominently-placed bulletin.

comes a diverting martyr to his belief.Farmer Kirkland, who is much too

indulgent and liberal for Mrs. Kirk-land, has an unhappy time trying un-successfully to drink when his wifeisn't looking, but he does get out ofgoing to church.

The dialogue is uniformly success-ful, and not too extravagant. it isalive, it holds a fast pace, and provesthat the authors took full advantageof the abundant humor of their sub-ject; and since the characters do notfail their lines, it does liot matter thatthe action of the play is slight, andoften fantastic.

on the final scene, she said to a south-ern officer who had been extremelywistful as regards her charms: "Col-onel, I've got something hot for youout in the kitchen." Yes, he went outto the kitchen.

that stopping distances varied morenearly as some power of the speedbetween the square and the cube. Thiscannot be attributed to air resistanceand friction of the tires because thesewould have an opposite effect. Thesurvey revealed that the real causewas the reduction of friction in abrake lining when it becomes hot asit does when braking from highspeeds.

Need Four-Fifths Second to StopThe time reaction of the driver is

another important factor in analysisof accidents. Tests showed that anaverage of four-fifths of a second isneeded (by a driver who wishes tostop, to think and act.

A questionnaire was sent to 12,000motorists (about 15%o of all in thestate!. A majority of these favr edincreasing the age limit for licenseddrivers to 18 years, and that inspec-tions should be made every six months.The vote was overwhelmingly in favorof the compulsory use of hand signalsfor vehicles stopping on or turning onthe road, although road studies of thesurvey revealed that practically nodrivers use the signals on State roadswhere it is already compulsory.

Personality of the driver is an im-portant factor in highway accidents.The survey made a careful study ofthe records of 10,000 drivers in thestate. Care was taken to pick a rep-resentative group.

Reduction of highway accidentsfalls into two fields, education and en-gineering. Enforcement with an edu-cational rather than a vindicativemotive will have greater lasting re-sults. Engineering should consist ofstriving for greater dependability inbrakes and other equipment, andgreater uniformity and consistency inthe treatment and marking of road-way hazards in order that the drivermay not suddenly encounter a hazardwhen a warning is reasonably expect-ed.

The object of the Club is "to re-ward deserving varsity men for loy-alty to the swimming team, to pro-mote the general welfare of the teamthrough publicity and the arousing ofenthusiasm in the student body withregard to the attendance of homemeets, to bring into closer personalcontact the outstanding varsity men,and to show courtesy to all visitingteams.

The Club will try to make the Insti-tute swimming conscious. A dance isto be held this year at which theyhope to put on an exhibition never be-fore seen in Walker. It is believedthat the Club will be recognized as anactivity before long.

The Phi Kappa Sigma house danceFriday evening was a lively affair,particularly when the lights went out.As soon as candles were lighteddancers blew them out again. TheHuman Fiend received quite an ova-tion at his nonchalant entrance to thedance. "Also present" was JohnDuff who afforded more merrimentthan his Voo Doo publication Fridaymorning. Roger DeWitt and his or-chestra furnished the music.

The Phi Beta Epsilon week endhouse party was climaxed with adance Saturday evening. Ken Reeve'sorchestra played well and the vocalaccompaniment was good, eventhough the singing saxophone playerhad a difficult time expressing him-self in the hi de hi part of Minnie theMoocher.

FrustrationWe've always been under the im-

pression that those benches in theMain Lobby were meant for studentswho lacked the energy to go up to theCentral Library to study. So, whenwe had a few minutes to spare, butstill not enough time to wait for theelevator, we established ourself moreor less comfortably on one. We hadjust got well into the intricacies ofinternal combustion engines when afreshman appeared with a worn andhunted look.

"Pardon me," he queried breath-lessly, "but could you tell m~e-where-?" We could and did. Thenwe settled back with the satisfied feel-ing that we'd done our good deed forthe day. Along came a Sophomore,looking for the Rlecord's Office. Slight-ly irritated, we forced a smile, how-ever, and sent him blithely on his way.

As a third man came hesitantlytoward us we snapped our book shut,took him by the arm, and propelledhim gently but firmly through thedoor of the Information Office. Thenwe gathered our belongings and mov-ed on with a vague feeling of frus-tration.

Fame At LastWe're feeling pretty well satisfied

with ourself today. Yes sir, we've gota new reader for our column. Andfrom way out in -Chicago too. Thatmakces four readers we have in allnow. The only drawback is that theyoung man isn't interested in the restof the paper, and consequently is hesi-tant about paying for something hedoesn't want. So we'll have to con-vince him that our column is worthat least three cents any time.

That Contest Of OursIt seems that everybody took our

announcement of a contest in our lastissue as a joke. We want to statedefinitely that we're serious about it,and have a worthy purpose in thefurthering of knowledge.- Fsor thosewho missed the first announcement,the questions are as follows. 1. Howdo the worms get on the sidewalk be-tween Walker and Building 2 in wetweather? 2. What is the density ofthe walk in worms per square foot?3. What happens to those worms thatare stepped on, since they are neverto be found the morning after ? Theperson submitting the most correctsolution will have his answer printedin this column with or without hisname, as he desires. Answers may bedropped in the mail slot of THE TECHNews Office door in the basement ofWalker.

Everyone must have at least an ideaan the question. This is a good chanceto do your part for the advancementof science.

records with others were sent to theoffice where the information was sum-marized and accident spot-maps weremade for the more important citiesand towns. From this information

i definite recommendations were madefor the correction of accident-causingsituations.

Complete Surveys Taken In SomeTowns

This over, the district engineers5 conferred with local authorities with

the result that complete traffic sur-veys were taken in fifteen cities andtowns. These surveys included an ex-i haustive study of local traffic volume,accidents, observance of traffic lightsand stop signs, enforcement of trafficregulations, safety education inschools, and the preparation of trafficflow maps, accident spot maps, andcomplete accident-by-location files.The reports were intended to place inthe hands of local authorities the bestinformation obtainable on the subjectand suggestions for the solution of thetraffic problems.

Analysis of the highway accidentsof the State revealed a variety offactors which might be studied. Thequestion of visibility of pedestrians tonight drivers was among the most im-portant. Experiments were carriedout to determine the distance at whicha pedestrian becomes visible undervarying conditions of road surface,weather, street lighting and the lights

h of oncoming cars. Under normal con-ditions it was found that the pedes-trian does not become visible until thecar is within about 100 feet of him.At a speed of 40 miles per hour, thedriver has only one and seven tenthsseconds in which to think and act soas to avoid hitting the pedestrian.Motorists Average 39 Miles Per Hour

Studies were also made of speedsof vehicles along straight stretches,at curves, intersections, and other haz-ards. Speeds of fifty cars each in about3,000 locations were measured, andthese figures were classified and aver-aged. The average speed on straightstretches was fouhd to be 39 miles perhiour. The average speed of the fast-est fifteen per cent was 61 miles perhour. Drivers reduced speed in thepresence of hazards by the followingpercentages: schools and hillerests]5%, curves, intersections, and forks18%/,, bridges 21%, underpasses and,railroad crossings 28%. In connectionWNith the last, out of 25,000 accidentsiniestigated ill Massachusetts in thepast four >-ears, only 137 occurred atsteain railroad crossings.

Distance needed to stop a car inIlse of emnerg-ency depends upon the

However in the tests carried out bythe survey, it was found that stoppingdistances were not exactly propor-tional to the square of the speed, but
