I The proposed reduction of the Insti-tute Committjtee has aroused a greatdeal of strong feeling especially oil thepart of those affected. The Comnbinedprofessionala Societies are anxious thattheir representation remain as it is,but if it is decreased thev- want to seetile publicatons and the florins fall too.Others, oil tlie contrary~, seern to agreethat the Societies should have theirrepresentation decreased but the othersshould remnain as thev~ are. THE TECHh~as asked a fe\w of the interested partiestheir opinions, and prints their answersherewith.

FRESHMAN ELECTIONS

OMINATIONS are due in this wveek for the officers of the fresh-N man class, and it is urged that all members evince their interestby initiating or supporting the candidacy of the men they feel tobe of official calibre. The freshman election is at best a haphazardaffair, making it most essential that the class express itself to thehighest possible numerical extent in order that the error of choicemay be minimized.

Choosing the best man is difficult and to do so it is necessaryto be acquainted with the men being nominated, their personality,their sincerity, and their stability. Is their scholastic record in-dicative of their ability to remain at the Institute? Have theycapacity to serve as an officer, attentive and active to the full re-quiremens of the office, and at the same time to do justice to theirwork ?

These are somne of the criterions that should be kept in 1hindil the selection of men. There arise at times various cliques whichseem to draw a following. Such should have no place in a studentelection. Unbiased voting redounds to the credit of the voter-let every freshman who values and trusts his own judgment voteindependently. But most important, there should be no exhibitionof indifferent attitudes. Get behind some noominations, and thenput some selective enthusiasm into the elections!

The Com-bined Drive is a combination in restraint of unlimitedCharity Camllpaigns. Make it a )ermnanent affair by giv'ing it yoursupport.

TRADITIONS

ECHNOLOGY has few traditions as it is, and wie are. glad toThear that at least one has been relnembered. It used to be thecustom in the days of the old buildings across the river to gathertogether on the steps of Rogers to pass the time and to sing Tech-nology songs. Men got to know one another under conditions farmore conducive to lasting friendship than the classrom. An at-tempt to revive this tradition was made on Field Day when thesnake dance following the athletics wound up in a general meet-ing on Rogers" steps at wdvhich "Take ,le Back to Tech" and "TheStein Song" were sung.

This is all right, but to have a snake dance every time youhave a sing means getting nasty headlines in the Boston papers.Since we have moved from the old buildings, no place has beenchosen by the students as a gathering place. What is wrong withWalker's Steps. We have an old tradition. Why scrap it when itcan easily be revamped to fit present conditions. A "CommunitySing" was held in the Dormitories last Sunday. That proves thatsome men in the Institute are interested in our old songs.

Traditions are too little thought of here at the Institute. Onenever hears of them except from Alumni who complain that thestudents of to-day have no college spirit. 'Men formerly got to-gether on Rogers' Steps. The Beaver was branded as a made toorder tradition and discarded. Here is a tradition that has existedfor years. Why throw it to the winds?

Technology students seem to be as opposed to a long term asare the guests in Sing Sing.

General Maniager. THE TECH

To the Editor:-In the meeting of the Institute Conm-

Ilittee which was held last Thursday,three motionls were talbled until tihenext meeting. The last two of thesewere referred to I)v THI TEO-r a,'retaliations." while the Chairmall oftle Thnstitute Comnmittee characterizedthem as "childish.'

Both of our worthv critics arie iinerror-there was nothing either child-ihll or retaliatorv concerned vith thepresentation of these two mnotions.

Two meeting ago it was announced)by Mr. Cole that plans were under wayfor a reduction in the size of the In-stitute Committee. The next move inthisdirection was the motion presented byMr. MNitchell to reduce the representa-tion of the Professional Societies toone.

The purpose of the two mnotionswNhich we presented was inot to reducethe representation of the publicationsor of the dormitories but to call atten-tion to the manifest unfairness of thenmeans by which it was proposed to re-duce the size of the Conmmittee. If areduction in the size of the com-imitteeis necessary, the burden of reductionshould be borne by, all types of activi-ties represented on the Committee atthe present time.

If the first of these motions is passedwvithout the other two, one can scarcelvrefrain from questioning the sincerityof the sponsors of the first motion.

(Signed)Harrison Browniing '25, Ch. M.E.Soc.Stuart John '26, Chairman A.I.E.E.(The only portion of the above coII-

linication that requires any sort ofresponse is the fourth paragraph. Thismatter was largely covered by theLounger in Mondav's issue of 'T'ieTECH. However, in order that Messrs.B3rowniing and John may see just -whatthey are saving. we wrill outlilne thepresent representation oln the Comn-mittee.

The Committee now cousists of thefollowing men: three men from eachclass; three men from the dormitories;and one man each from the followingorganizations: The Budget Committee,the Walker Memorial Committee. theActivities Commttee. the Finance Corn-mittee, the Boathouse Committee. thePoint Svstem Committee, the ElectionsCommittee, the Intramural Committee,and the Dormnitory Executive Commit-tee; one man from each of the fol-lowing activities: the M. I. T. A. A.,Technique, Tech Show, Voo Doo, TechEngineering News, Combined MusicalClubs, Technology Christian Associa-tion, and THE TECH; and one manfrom each of eight professional societies.

We feel sure that Messrs. Browningand John will see the point of the fivedivisions that have been made above,i.e., into classes, dormitories, under-graduate committees, major activities,and Professional Societies. They shouldsee that no reduction can take placewithin a group without reducing thewhole group. They should see thatno group can be done away with. Theyshould see that if a reduction is to bemade, the only logical thing to do isto pick out the group where represen-tation is the least necessary from apoint of view of government, and toreduce the representation of that groupto a minimum. The eight ProfessionalSocieties. as has been previously pointedout in these columns, bear no real ini-portance from a governmental view-point, and accordingly, that is the

logical place for the reduction. Theirrepresentations is not being wiped out.There will still be a man froin the Com-bined Professional Societies sitting inthe meeting. As prevously stated, ifhe does not represent the societiesproperly, he should be fired and a newman appointed.

The first Institute Committee wastoo small, being composed of classrepresentatives only. It flourished fora time, but almost went under aftera time. It was revived again and rep-resentation was given to anyone whohad the least title to it. This was doneIby way of experiment, and provisionX as mtade in the new Constitution foreasily lopping off organizations whichwere found unnecessarx.,-viz, the Cos-niopolitan Club,-and 'which entailedneedless cross-representatioll.

It is not, therefore, that we aremaliciously singling out the Profession-al Societies, b)ut are doing just whatthe framers of the p1resent C'onstitutionlknew would have to be done when theywrote that .document.-F'ditor.)

To thi le. clitor:-In today's issue of THE TECH you

were Ikinl enough to offer to answerany question there might be concerningtile three motions which are soon tocome up for the consideration of theInstitute Coemflitee.

There are two question.~ in this mat-ter about which I amn uncertain, and Iwould therefore be obliged to you forenlightenment.

(I) If a reduction in the size of theInstituite Committee is to be diesired,

why is it necessary to resort to irregu-lar- means to accomplish the desiredend. It seems to me that if there were1no other motive than the reduction inthe size of the Committee, the Chair-man would appoint a committee to in-vestigate the desirability and the meansof effecting the reduction.

(2) Under date of November 7, 1924,a letter was sent to you signed by Mr.Browning and rayself. The reason forsending this letter was to explain thepurpose of the two motions which wepresented. If THE TECH is interestedin fair play in this matter, and I amsture you are, this letter should havebeen published.

The only thing we are combating isthe irregtularity of the proceedings. Ifit is reported, regularly. by a Commniitteeon which we are represented that it isdesirable to reduce the size of the Coni-Inittev and(l that the best and fairest

Penn State honored her oldest rooter.For over 40 years Andy Little has beensynonvymous with football at Penn State.

Between the halves of the NorthCarolina game, the Sophomore classformed the name ANDY in huge letters,stretching all the wlvy across the grid-iron. Eleven hundred freshmen marchedacross the field and elected him an hon-orary member of their class.

The Technology Dames is an organ-ization comiposed of the mothers, wives,and sisters of Technology students. Itschief aiim is to promote a feeling offriendship and helpfulness among itsmnembers and to make their stay in

,Boston a pleasant one.There are many women every year

wvho accomrpany their men folks to Bos-ton to be with them while the3 are stu-dents at the Institute. Many of liewomen come from disant states, andoften they get pretty lonesoxe withthe men away at school all day. \¥heth-er they are strangers in Boston or not.they enjoy making friends with otherwonien comie from distant states, withim everything connected with theInstitute. It is a joy to themn also tobecome acquainted with the buildingswhich are so famiiiiar to their nmen.

The Technology Danies meet ever-,other Monday afternoon in the EniniaRogers room in the Administrationbuilding. There is always a -worthwhileand interesting speaker, good rmusic,and then a bocial tea. Besides the regu-lar progranls, there are occasional in-

novations, such as a bridge part3', atheater iarty, a H1allowe'on party ora Valentine party. A unique but verywelcome feature of the meetings, isa temporary kindergarten held in thesaine room at the same hour as themeeting for the little children of mem-bers who perhaps could not otherwiseattend.

There is also a visiting committeewhose duty it is to call on all the newmembers and those eligible for mem-bership. The greatest difficulty theclub has is to locate the woimen folk ofTech students. The only clue is a ques-tionnaire which asks if tile student ismarried.

The visiting committee finds that theTechnology student is prone to claimia wife who at the timie of the callproves to be a "joke." But with mothersand sisters there is only. one way toreach themn and that is for the studentsto tell thiem about the TechnologyDames. (It is a morale booster).

TENNIS IEN READYFOR NEXT SEASON

Manager Has Arranged MatchesWith Leading Colleges

In preparation of a strenuous seasonnext spring, the varsity tennis team hasalready had several practice matchesamong themselves. Yesterday, Broad-hurst and Peck defeated Russel andHinckin a close match 6-4. 7-5. Broad-hurst and Peck have had a years prac-tice playing together, so naturally madea better doubles team than the strangeteam of Russell and Hinck. The scoredoes indicate however, that Technologyhas two strong doubles teams, no matterwhich combination is chosen.

Brdadhurst was the outstanding starof the winning combination, with Peckbacking him up in his usual steady con-sistent manner. The strength ofthe team, however, lies in its balance.All four players were semi-finalists inthe Fall Tournament, while Russell andHinck were opponents in the finals. Thestrength is shown by the upsets that oc-curred in practice matches this last week.Frank Broadhurst defeated Ken Pecktwo out of three sets, then Ken turnedaround and defeated 'Hinck 6-3.

Manager C. B. McFarland '26 has al-ready arranged for six matches, fourhome and two away. The home matchesare with Harvard, Bowdoin, Boston Uni-versity and Dartmouth. The matches thatwill be played away are Williams andWesleyan. This is the first year thatTechnology has been able to secure amatch with the Harvard Varsity in agood many years. which is an excellentsign of the improvement that has beenmade in tennis teams at the Institute.

"Voo Doo has nothing to say at pres-ent," says Frank Riegle '25, its GeneralManager. 13. F. Groenw,,ald '25, GeneralManager of T. E. N., declares, "I agreeentirely with THE TECH'S stand onthe matter both as to decreasing themembership of the Societies and lettingthe representation of the Dorms andPublications remain unchanged."

"HINDLE WAKES" IS ATTHE COPLEY THIS WEEK

Ani old, old story. retold in a different.vay'. The poor but honest working girl

lead. astray by the son of her wealthyvemployer, anid all the accompanying com-plications. NNrith the exception of thefirst act which seemed a bit lacking miforce, the play was very well done, bothas to writing and acting. E. E. Clivewas good, as usual. There was justenough restraint to his voice and actingto give the desired impression of under-lying power. Hi-s part was that of thewealthyv North Counitry,, mill owner, vir-tuous to a fault, ashamed of the scanda-lous conduct of his son, a beastly rotter.

The story brings out the continuiadstruggle between the single and double-standards of morality. Nothing new, buttreated in a somewhat different fashion.Rather appealing to the average Amer-ican playgoer, who does not want any-.thing too subtle, but wvho does not ob-_ject to ain occasional remark that withslight use of tile imagination may bx:thought almost risque.

Mlay Ediss acts out her part of thepoor weaver's daughter whose innocencehas been contaminated in a very satisfac-tory manner, though her accent fre-quently reminds one of America rathe."than Lancashire. Katharine Standing is-quite attractive, though her part giveslittle opportunity to show off her ability.Elspeth Dudgeon, C. Wordley H-ulse,Harold W-est, and Phillip Tongue alldid well in their respective parts.

"WE'VE GOT TO HAVEMONEY" AT ST. JAMES

"We've Got To Have Money" at theSt. James this week offers consolationto Tech students anticipating VoteTens, for it describes the phenomina]financial clinmb of a man who refusedto take a college education. Go earlyto avoid the rush.

As a comedy of situations, or rathera farce of exaggerations, it -necessarilyhas a skillful skeleton plot, and asfrequently is the case the plot is moreinteresting than the less ingenious modeof expression interposed upon it. Itis impossible to erncage the intricacy ofthe story in this alloted space, but suf-fice to say than the unusual elementssuch a villain, a trio of loving couples,an indissoluble collegiate friendship,and an ending so perfectly perfect thatone would suspect that the planetaryorbits had been equipped with baillbearings and esperanto and the MetricSystem universally adopted-all theseelements were present and formed asynthetic compound most pleasing tothe St. James constituency.
