ARE WE ENTllRELY LACKING IN HONESTY?

nNE of the prime elements in the makze-up) of a successful miallt b lie e an ordinary bousiness man or be I-e an engineer. is honestv.This quality is of foremost importance in a man's character if he isto do anything worth awhile. That Technology men, e~lgineers inthe making, to %Nhoni honesty should lee a b~y-wsord, are no morehonest than the general public has been shown by their disregardfor the prillcilzles of commloll decency in the nlatter of p~ayiig fornewspapers.

Ever since the Institute has been in its present buildings, papers,have been left on the table ill the basenient of W\a]lker -Aeinorial,with a little lbox for coins. Tile total disregard for this hint thatpapers are to lbe paidl for ha.s caused the womani cello brings themlto threaten to discontinue the service for wvhicli fess nlen seemi -,ill-ing to pay.

It is at once straii-~e and sad that a manl whlo is axillillg to p)anhundreds of dollars to obtainl an education to fit lliml for -a life ofservice to liulmanlitv, for sutch is the life work of the eno-ineer-. shlouldstool) so lose as to cheat a poor' -%voiiian oult of the fews penn~ies -upon-wh~lich she is dependent for her daily bread.

Come, comle fellows. Do not quibblle about the paymllent of ;aflew coppers. Thle papers are brought -for your coriveiiieiice, andyou certainlly- should be whilling to pay for them.

OFFICER OR PRIVATE?

THE tithe is now- at haund for the mlemlbel-s of the Sop)hornoro1Tclass to decide what branch of '-\Tilitar,, Science they wvill fol-

lowv this corinlg terll. A&s all of themn now knots the IAfilitanrDepartment loas, in the past year or so., changed the system, sothat the Sophomores specialize in somne particular branch of theservice during their third termn.

In the minds of most of the mean, this also brings to a head thequestion of whether or not to take tip the Advanced R.O.T.C. Ivork-next year. This is, of course, not a pzarticularlv important decisionin a tnan's life, hut still, it is a question of wvhetller or 1lot it is worthwhile to pult in all extra thlirttr hour course. each terns for the restof the tithe they\ are here. True, ill the case of somie of the units,it is not even this much, as ill nanyr cases, a large part of the \i-tary wuork is covfered by the regular curriculum -,,,ork;.

To draws up) a balance sheet of the gains against the lab~or in-volved, the credit sicle of the ledger -\xill colltail the followrinl- iteims:Cash to the ex~tellt of thirty cents a day during a period of 21;,months, anid about sevpenty cents a dayr while at camp, a total ofovfer twEo hullldred dollars: transportation to and from canilp at the!rate of finee cents a inlile: board and clothing while at callnp; ex-perience that is valuabule ill p eace tinies and of supreme importanceill war timnes; six week~s of healthar outdoor life after a vear of-studil; the use of government property to the value of thousandsof dollars-prop~erty that cannot b~e secured elsedwhere to wvorkwaith; and last, but far from least, the abilit,, to no righit iltO) theservice Advithl a collllissionl, without wasting vraluabule time in a train-illt camp.

The debit side virtually disappears in comparison to the abcove,containing only-: Thirtv hours a term of verv -%valualble work;. thenecessity of talkin- two) particular general studies, instead of havin-tall of themn op~tional; the giving up of about six w-eekss of onle sumn-mner to attend canip.

MANY\, mally othlerwXise hood citizens claim that there are goingto be no more wars, or at annr rate, not for two or three

,-enerations. On tile other hand those wh~lo are in a position to knlowset the date of the slext major war as fromt fi-\,e to fifteell yearshence, depenldin-, on the partictilal- person giving the inlforination.What Technlology n11aiixvyants to go into the ranks as a bouck; privrate,whenl at little effort, be can secure a commission, and be paid forsecuring it ?

Thle Editor, of course, wuill not recommend one unit ill prefer-ence to another-it all depends on what line a man is particularlyinterested ill. All lie wants is that every upperclassman in the In-stitute whrlo is eligible shall be enrolled in the Advanced ReservedOfficers Trainingt Corps. At present, there are 472 Juniors andSeniors taking the whork;. That means that there are probably atleast 500 men who could be training here nowv but wvho, due to alack of initiative or otherwise, are not doing so.

Pick your unit by March 25decide to go to camp this summerbefore April 1, and put the Institute on top of the list of R.O.T.C.Colleges in the percentage of students enrolled in advanced courses.

on the history of swimming at Tech-

nology, past and present. He showed

He claiinedthat it would not be through the In-stitute or the Athletic Association, butthrough the Alumni of the Institute.It must be in the same w-ay that Yale,Williams, obtained theirs through thedonations of wealthY Alumni that wereinterested in sports at the Institute.

Coach Dean spoke on the methodsthat would be followved in training nextt~ears teami, including the new equip-mnelt that will be obtained -with theapprOpriatiOII.

SIX SWIMMING RECORDSBROKEN DURING SEASON

out the year earned him many places,ranked next to Armstrong with a totalof 25 1-3 points. Woods va s a closethird with 25, but as Wies scoredpoints in the relay, while Woods con-

Reports from the office of the Phy-sical Director indicate a slight awaken-ing oil the part ol freshmen in the inat-ter of P. T. substitution. Yet up todate only 151 mnen have signified theirintention of getting into a live sportinstead of taking tle unpopular gyimcxerciscs: 65 men are taking up trackwork, 41 cress 24 baseball, 9 fencing,and 6 each swimmlling and gyml. Manyiniore have intentions of Siglling Up butthey have only to 12 noon ol1 Saturdayto do so.

This small showting, about tw·enty--fiveper cent of the entire freshman class,seems to lbear out the truth in thegeneral understanding of the upperclasses that there is a decided laxityamongst the lower classnmen in sup-porting Institute athletic teams. Allthe coaches agree that "it is a pitifulstate of affairs wvlen undergraduates,especially freshlnienl, must literally bedragged out for competition."
