Dr. Compton introduced this notein his speech, balancing the addressof Professor Greene for the Auditor-ium and Oscar Hedlund for the gym-nasium.

After two hours of debating by asmall gathering, the audience decidedby a vote of 26 to 13 that the Insti-tute needs an auditorium more than agymnasium. Bad weather kept manyaway, but representatives of the Dra-mashop, the Debating Society, theMusical Clubs, the M. I. T. A. A., andTech Show, were present.

Saper-GynAt just about the time when we

Nvere all beginning to worry about theOLItcome of the. auditorium versusg.y-ninasium harrangue, some of ourvery own engineers come throughwith a suggestion which solves thewhole problem. Their proposition ofbuilding a glymnasium and using it atthe same time for an auditoriumseenis to be just the thing. Only wethink that the plan should be carriedUirou-,Y]i to its Ignore logical conclusion.

If the gymnasium can be used forauditorium purposes, we see no rea-,Son Why it could not also be used forthe regular classes of the Institute.I'liere is certainly no class at the In-stitute which is larger than could beaccommodated by the gymnasium.This would leave the whole presentInstitute building to be used for otherpurposes. For instance a part of itcould be turned over to the use of the'technology Dormitories and therebyel iminate the necessity of building theunit of dormitories recently proposedin the so-many-million-dollar expan-sion project.

Providing that a swimming pool isalso included in the gymnasium out-lay, other problems now existing couldalso be easily rubb6d out. For in-stance, the pool could be used on Mon-(lays and Wednesdays as anaval tow-iiig tank, and on Saturdays during thewinter it could be frozeii over andLISMI for hockey games. One cornercould be turned over to the use ofthe Biology Department as an aquar-ium, and the remainder could bestocked with a few thousand trout, adozen or two cod, and a couple of'11.111a so that Tech men would not haveto leave the campus to do their fish-ing.

The fish, '.having been caught, couldbe cooked over a fire which, duringthese fall evenings at least cracklesbrightly on the floor of The Technewsroom. The best feature of thisis that it would do away entirely withthe Walker Dining Service and there-by make room in the Main Hall fora bigger and better office of the Gen-eral Manager of Voo Doo.

The aeronautical wind tunnel neednot be put in a building by itself. Onthe contrary, it should be constructedadjacent to the swimming pool, -,where,on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon,it could be turned on full blast togive the Tech dinghy men a chance toget a little indoor practice.

Thus the there gymnasium for thedevelopment of the physique of 'thefuture engineer blosoms into a verit-able "Greater Technolo-y" (thisphrase is original with us and it isour hope that it may eventually be-come the slogan of the Institute). Ofcourse there might be a little difficultyin arranging all the activities andclasses in the one building, but thiscould be adroitly handled by theWalker Memorial Committee whichwould become the New GymnasiumCommittee.

Alwyn F. Marston, '38, 143 GrandView Ave., NVollaston, Mass.

"Tech Show is worthwhile as anundergraduate activity if properlyZZ,supervised, as it tends to create afeeling of cooperation among thestudents and affords an excellent

outlet for our activities."

"Most certainly! Traditions diequickly enough at Technology. Weshould try to preserve them. Fur-

thermore, Tech Show provides atype of recreation which is found in

no other extra-curricular activity,

and the loss of Tech Show meansnot only a loss of tradition to the

student body but a loss in recrea-tion possibilities to those interested

in such an activity."

It - science's apostle, industry'shandmaiden." Thus is the Institutedescribed in a thirteen page historyand contemporary sketch in the No-vember issue of Fortune . . . '�-justabout the toughest and most exactingcurriculum to be found in any under-graduate educational institution in theU. S." is carried by its undergradu-ates, who "in spite of their seeminglycrushin- scholastic loads, - haveplenty of leisure time in which todrink beer, watch the hockey games,sail on the Charles, 'go out for ac-tivities', or neck their girls".

The list of T,--ch's alumni, includingniany of the great names of indus-try, research, and science, is summedup by the Institute's ability to "pointwith pride toward alumni of almostevery stripe but one. It has seldomproduced any rebels. -Avid thoughit is for scientific and technologicalprogress, it is one of the most sociallyand politically conservative institu-tions of learning the country over."

Arid the faculty come in for a shareof attention, including "Norbert Wien-er, one of the Institute's few genuine,blown-in-the-bottle Absented-MindedProfessors, (who) is among the halfdozen top-flight mathematicians inthe'U. S." Or "Warren K. Lewis,the country's undisputed No. 1 chem-ical engineer", and "Jerome C. Hun-saker, (who) -- designed the NC-4,first aircraft to cross the Atlantic suc-cessfully."

And there are colored photographs,impossible of reproduction here, thatportray our president, Dr. Compton,seated at 'his desk below the portraitof George Eastman, and that showphotoelastic patterns with beautifulpatterns of soft color; that show Pro-fessor Alt'llur C. Hardy with his spec-trophotometer, and "Professoi-s Da--,,is and Wareham demonstratl0ig dyechemistry in the Institute's big lec-ture hall."

Then. of course, the story of the In-stitute's slow rise from its first fou-n-datlion to its present eminence withthe difficulties and setbacks encou-n-tered is included, as well as the storiesof its presidents.

And we read the classic story ofthe Institute, of "the mysterious Mr.Smith", George Eastinan, who, whenapproached by President Maclaurinfor funds, asked "What sum will beneeded" and, hearing that two anda half millions wouid serve, said "Iwill send -you a check."

But perhaps of most interest are

the observations upon the present fac-ulty and student body; the studentbody that takes it (the most exactinggcurriculum in any uiidergraduate edu-cational institution in the 1". S.) andlikes it and has a good time," and thefaculty "who have forsworn the busi-ness world's ambitions."

The poor co-eds at German univer-sities and colleges acquire their edu-cation by degrees, and at the end oftheir courses most of theni can't gettheir diplomas anyway.

Only a limited number of women-enough to fill vacancies in special

professions, are given the chance towrite exams for their degrees. SoGretchen can't finish her schoolingand expect to search for a position.

If she isn't offered a job and withit the opportunity to pass the finaltest, she has to be content with say-ing: "Heek, I didn't want the darnold thing anyway." Ja, so geht's.

New Captain Not SelectedBut Thorson Appears

Likely Choice

All-important is the question before the student body "Are we go-ing to get a gymnasium or an auditorium?" We need both, but onlyone will be given us now. The question resolves itself into this:Shall we stress the cultural development of the mind, or shall westress the physical development of the body? The Tech Union votefor an auditorium in its meeting Wednesday night meant little, forthe majority of the students who went to the meeting were naturallythe same aesthetically minded types who would be the sole bene-ficiaries of an auditorium. They were the type who use their brainsfrom 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. and then go out for some cultural activity inan effort to think some more. Are these students in the majorityor minority at Tech? We believe the average student desires rec-reation after 5 o'clock-healthful recreation-a lack of which willusually result in lower grades than normal for the individual. Fur-thermore ,a gymnasium would incorporate a swimming pool, andwho can argue that an auditorium would give greater benefit to agreater number of people than a swimming pool? Nuf said, withoutgoing into the corresponding increase of cleanliness of the engineersof the future.

To ease the minds of those who are worried about field day numerals, wehave heard that the executive committee of the M. I. T.A. A. will meet earlynext week to decide who will get the coveted insignia. Winners will be ableto get their certificate and numerals in the M. I. T. A. A. office immediatelyafterward.

Hopes are high that the soccer team will eventually win a gameagainst a large college. Although, according to the coach and man-ager, we have the best team -now that we have had for many years,the hooters have failed, by exactly one goal to win against theiropponents. We were defeated by Dartmouth, 2-1, by Harvard, 1-0,and finally by Clark last Saturday, 2-1. Oddly enough, Clark was-massacred by both Hlarvard antd Dartmouth. However, we expectour one-point loss record to be broken this Saturday when the Beaver

"Boxing is the most useful sportfor engineers in after life, "statedCoach Tom Rawson yesterday, "forall engineer has to work with theroughest, toughest people in theworld." He urged all students to comeout to one of the regular practicesessions everyday from four to six,adding that they would never be sorryfor it.

When asked who would be mostlikely to succeed Tony Chmielewski ascaptain, Rawson said that he wouldprobably select Bob Thorson, '37, butthat he had to confer with the man-agers before making a definite an-nouncement. 'Woody' Baldwin, '39, isthe only other boxer eligible for thatposition, he said.

Rawson thinks chances goodThere has been no definite squad

picked yet and the mittmen are allstriving to gain a place left vacantby graduation and failure to reregis-ter. It is the opinion of Coach Rav-son that the squad might make a goodshowing in spite of the many losses.He pointed out that crewmen partic-ularly should come out for boxing asit 'quickens their whole bodies' andis, an admirable supplement to theirwork on the machines during the win-ter. As an example he pointed outThorson who is both a crewman andboxer.

Trhe incomplete schedule li-sts gamesat Harvard, Westem Maryland, andRutgers, with meets here with Spring-field and Coast Guard Academy. Thereare four more meets to be scheduledaccording to an announcement fromthe managers.

The freshmen team will have aboutfour meets, including Harvard, Sbir.ley School and Yale. There are aboutthirty frosh aspirants out, somne ofwhom are pretty capable looking boysbut the eliminations have not yet be-gun.

Freshman Rifle TeamReports 1:20 Turnout|

In the initial practice periods ofthe season a hundred and twentyfreshmen have appeared at the riflerange beside the football field, show-ing an increase of ten per cent overlast year's turnout.

Although the majority of those whiohave appeared have had no exper-ience, quite a few have fired before atvarious high and military schoolsthroughout the country, and with thisamount of material for the freshmen,and in later years the varsity teams,it is small wonder that the rifle teamat Technology has enjoyed such finesuccess in their meets.

Scheduled meets for the freshmansquad weill not start until the first ofthe coming year so that there w ill beample time for those who are still de-sirous of trying out, to become fairlyskilled in the use of the rifle by thattime.

Twenty postal and four shoulder toshoulder matches are scheduled forthe coming season.

Ammunition and use of the rifle isfree and protective clothing is alsoavailable. Coach Captain Bridges isstill anxious for more candidates andbelieves that this -sport offers an ex-cellent means for those interested, toobtain their numerals.

The firing schedule for freshmen isas follows: Monday 9-12, Wednesday1-3, Thursday 1-5, and Friday 9-12.

The fraternities are ready toplay the semi-finals in the BeaverKey touch football tournament.

There are six Fraternities thathas-e not yet been eliminated.'They are: Beta Theta Pi, DeltaKvappa Epsilon, Phi Mu Delta,Theta Chi, Kappa Sigma, andLambda Chi Alpha. The gamesare played on one of the "Coop"fields.

The rtlles used, are: passes canbe made behind the scrimmageline only; a goal must be madein four downs; and a tw~o handtouch must be made to end adown. There are four periods ofeight minutes each.

Coach Jarosh Is Confident"Wonderful Season"

OfI

Nearly every man in the Institutewith swimming experience turned outfor the first scheduled practice periodof the season at the University Clublast Monday. Most of last year'sfreshman team was present, and it isexpected that these men will furnishmore than sufficient material to fillgaps and supply reserve power.

-Coach John Jarosh stated emphati-cally, "We have plenty of good ma-

Iterial on hand and the spirit neces-sary for a winning team. With a littlework, there is no reason why weshould not have a wonderful season."

The candidates for the team havealready started serious work, andthey should be in top condition by De-cember 16, wheel they meet BostonUniversity in the first meet of theseason.

The schedule this year includes sev-eral teams newt to Technology, as wellas most of those on last year's schled-ule.

Frosh Turnout StrongWith a turnout of over fifty can-

didates, the largest freshman aggre-gation ever to come out for swimming,the prospects of the freshman swim-ming team also look good. FreshmanCoach Bill Champion says that thisveal-'s free-style candidates look evenbetter than did those of last y ear'swinning team.

Coach Champion also stated that heis unable as yet to make any reliablecomment on the back-stroke, breast-str'oke, or diving mnaterial so early inthe season.

Traveling to Providence this Sat-urday to play the league-leading boot-ers from Brown University, the soc-cer varsity team will strive to end itslosing streak. After winning the firstgame from Bridgewater, the teamdropped the next three to Harvard,Dartmouth and Clark.

The team has been working out un-der Coach Goldie trying to perfect itsoffensive play in an effort to put insome winning goals. The booters havean almost perfect defense but theyseem to lack scoring punch. This de-fense will be tested by Brown, who isat the present time the most formid-able team in the East.

Also on Saturday, the freshmenwill travel to Springfield to take onthe strong team from Springfield Col-lege. The freshmen have quite a fairteam and are liable to upset the gym-nasts.

Last year this meet was won by.New Hampshire University who againshows great promise with one of thestrongest squads of the contestants.The Varsity Beaver harriers, the oth-er side of the picture, have not en-joyed a very fruitful season. Theyhave been defeated by Northeastern,Tufts and Mass. State, btut Coach Hed-lund is confident theft Tech will placewell in the meet, he said that themain reason for the Engineer's earlylosses was the unfamiliarity of thecourses. Franklin Park is however thehome course of the Beaver hill anddalers and therefore the M. I. T. squadwvill -not suffer any handicaps in thisrespect. The Technology freshmanteam have, in two meets, beat Tuftsand lost to Quincy High and North-eastern, showing a little better formthan their seniors.

Gym Team TurnoutBeats All Records

The gym team turnout this year hasexceeded all previous records, withabout fifty men in training at thistime. Eight graduate students are alsoworking with the group, althoughthey, will not be able to take part inany intercollegiate competition.

The Varsity schedule includes meetswith Princeton, Navy, Dartmouth,Temple, Springfield, and Army. Ofthese meets only the Temple clashwill be here.

The freshman turnout for the teamhas been unusually heavy, twenty-onemen being on the team at present.

-Coach Herb Forsell stated thatthere is an opening on the squad fora light mian for the rope climb, pref-erably a Sophomore or Junior. Thisevent is the real weakness of theteam, and Tech has not had a good|rope climber in several years.

More equipment is needed to takecare of the increasing popularity ofgym work, according to Coach Forselland a new, large mat has been orderedto supplement those now being used bythe fifteen men in the tumbling group.

Squash Season OpensWith Good ProspectsThe eighty-four freshman out for

Squash this term is a considerableincrease over the turnout for thesame time last year. Twelve menhave played on their high or prepschool teams. All those out for thegame will be coached by Jack Sum-mers, and most of them will probablyenter into the bumping board tourna-ment for places on one of the twofreshman teams.

he favored neither the gymnasi-u-ll io-the auditorium because both are muchneeded. He went on to clarify thepresent financial situation of the In-stitute.

Each of the projects proposed inthe expansion program, he said, wouldbe considered separately, and themoney for each raised seperately. In

the absence of a donor, the moneywould come probably from alumnisubscriptions. Since sufficient pledgesfor several of the projects, such as

{the wind tunnel have been obtained,their construction is assured. Dr.Compton concluded by saying that hevas firmly against the arousing of

school opinion for any particular proj-ect by propoganda on the part of anyschool organ. The need, he said, isfor a calm and judicial viewpoint.

Professor Greene opened his argu-ments for the auditorium by sayingthat he did not "disbelieve in the bodybeautiful" but that he did not considerbeauty of body any substitution forlack of beauty in mind. He did notclaim that the addition to Walkerwould be a panacea; but, as an ex-ample, his experiences with plays lastyear were sufficient proof to himn thatsome sort of auditorium is necessary.

Oscar Hedlund emphasized the factIthat athletics require less time than

cultural activities, and so were ofgreater importance to the hard-worked Tech students. Coach Hedlundtraced briefly the history of athleticsat the Institute, showing that knowl-edge of their need has always been inthe minds of the Institute authorities.Then he went on to explain the manyuses to which a gym could be put. Agym, he said, would include an indoortrack, a large gym floor for basket-ball, rooms for fencing, boxing andwrestling, rooms for meetings andconferences, such as the A. A. head-quarters; and it would also free thetrack house considerably, makingroom for more lockers which are urg-ently needed. He mentioned that thereare 1138 people using the track housenow with 99 on the waiting list forlockers. He pointed out that a gym French, '38, outing chairman.
