ITwo years ago the Alumni Associa-

tion asked the undergraduates then atTechnology to join with alumni in.pledging financial aid in a drive tobuild an extended athletic unit forInstitute students.

As construction on the swimmingpool is being pushed forward beforethe arrival of the cold weather, of-ficial figures reveal that less than halfthe amount pledged by Institute under-graduates in 1937 has been forwardedto the Alumni Association. The firstunit of the so-called "Gym Drive", theBriggs track and field house, was ded,-cated last June during Senior Week.

$6,200 Still Due

A total of $26,153 was pledged bythe Classes of '38, '39, '40, and '41.

Sex LectureTo Be Given

Problem Facing StudentsTo Be Subject Of

Magoun Talk

How to face problems in sex in-telligently is the question to be dis-cussed this afternoon in Room 10-250by Professor F. Alexander Magoun otthe department of Humanities. Pre-senting the second in a series of fourmarriage lectures, Professor Magounwill speak at both 4:00 and 5:00 P.M.

Today's speaker maintains that thesexual problems facing Technologystudents are both insistent and diffi-cult. This situation is attributed, ac-cording to Professor Magoun, to thefact that the approach to sex hasoften been repressed, thereby raisingit to an exponential function. "Furthercomplications arise," he added, "fromthe unnatural postponement of mar-riage and the fact that the problemis being constantly stimulated as aresult of 'bull session' discussions."

Premarital Problems Discussed

"Problems before marriage will bediscussed today," announced ProfessorMagoun, "while those which ariseafter the mating will be part of thematerial covered in the supplementaryseries of talks to be given nextspring."

"The student body already knowsby past experience," explained John C.Potter, '41, director of the T.C.A. meet-ings department, "that today's topicis to be intelligently discussed, withno one's intelligence being insulted."

Athletics will be represented byThomas F. Creamer, '40, president ofthe M.I.T.A.A. The four publicationswill be represented by William S.Kather, '40, for The Tech; Jack H.Schaum, '40, for the T.E.N.; PrestonR. Gladding, '41, for Technique andCharles V. F. DeMailly, '40, for VooDoo.

Dinner Purposely PostponedThis is the first time that such a din-

ner has been held so late in the year.According to Wallace the dinner hasbeen postponed until now because thecommittee believes that with Field

FELD MANY DEGREESDr. WYaldemar Llndgren, internation-

ally distinguished geologist and formany years head of the departmentof Geology, died at his home last Fri-day. He was 79 years old.

Although Dr. Lindgren retired ashead of the department of Geology in1933, with the rank of professor emer-itus, he had an office at the Instituteand had been active in his professionuntil a few weeks ago.

Began Lecturing in 1908

In 1908 he began lecturing at Tech-nology, and in 1912 he was appointedWilliam Barton Rogers Professor ofEconomic Geology and head of the

department of Geology. During theensuing 21 years he developed theInstitute's department of Geology toa position of international prestige.

Dr. Lindgren's achievements wererecognized in 1937 when the GeologicalSociety of London awarded him theWollaston Medal, the most distin-guished international honor in the fieldof mineralogy, which is given "To pro-mote researches concerning the min-eral structure of the earth . .. "

Sigma Xi HoldsTalk On Gravtiy

The Technology chapter of SigmaXi, National Engineering Honorary

Fraternity, will sponsor a talk by Dr.Paul R. Heyl, physicist with ,heNational Bureau of Standards, on"The Old and New Ideas of Gravita-

tion", to be given on November 17, at4: 00 P.M., in Room 10-250. The lecturewill be open to all.

Dr. Heyl has been carrying on exten-

sive research on the subject of gravi-tation, and the theories pertaining toit. Recently, in the archives of theRoyal Society of London, he discov-ered information on gravity amongpapers which had never been pub-lished. He will discuss this informa-tion in his talk.

This amount was only a small fraction

of the whole subscription goal, the

major portion being pledged by

alumni. At the present time, however,

alumni redemptions stand at 90%,

while from undergradates only 46.9%o

or $12,256 has been paid to date. Of

this amount, $6,200 is still due from

pledges signed by the members of the

present Junior and Senior classes.

The Alumni Association, approach-

ing 100% redemptions among its mem-

University which conferred upon him

in 1916 the honorary degree of doctor

of science.

When the same honorary degree

was given to him by Harvard Univer-

sity in 1935, President Conant called

him "A geologist to whom all men

turned for knowledge of the metallic

secrets hidden within the rock." The

Lindgren Library of mining and

geology at Technology was named in

his honor.

Belonged to Many Societies

Dr. Lindgren was a member of the

National Academy of Sciences, the

Geological Society of America, of

which he was president in 1924, the

American Association for the Advance.

ment of Science, the American Insti-

tute of Mining Engineers, and the Alin-

Ing and Metallurgical Society of

America. He also belonged to the

University Club and the Cosmopolitan

Club. He was the author of the well-

known book, "Mlineral Deposits", and

of many reports on mining and ge-

ology in government publications and

technical journals.

T.C.A. Drive(Continued from Page 1)

joined the drive giving $577.56. Ap-

proximately $75 was received after

the close of the drive and is not com-

puted in the above figures.

Although 55 percent of the entire

student body contributed, which is one

percent higher than last year, the

total amount received is over $600

less than last year. "The lower con-

tributions this year can be traced to

many causes," stated Albert H. Bow-

ker, '41, chairman of the drive. "This

year we solicited the commuters bY

mail instead of by personal calls and

evidently the new system was not

as effective. Not publishing the

amount given.per man in the fraterni-

ties is probably the cause of the lower

contributions from this group."

A meeting of the drive committee

will be held Wednesday, Novembr 8S

at 5 o'clock. The returns of the drive

will be discussed and any changes

which will be necessary because of the

failure to reach the goal will be made.

"It is probable," stated Albert

Bowker, "that the budget of each of

the activities in the T.C.A. will be

curtailed: however, the income from

the blotter and from the reserve fund

will help meet some of the deficit.

The money which is ordinarily used

to decrease the debt on the Teeh

Cabin will probably be used for other

T.C.A. activities this year."

Students who wish to redeem their

pledges may do so at the T.C.A. office

this week, after which time the

pledges will be given to the Bursar's

office.

Bull Session MealAttended By 162

Dinner Has Traditional RedApple As Favor For

Those Present

Approximately one hundred fortystudents played host to twenty-twoprofessors last night at the largestBull Session Dinner ever to be heldin the Walker Dining Rooms.

The first of a number of such get-togethers between students and fac-

ulty, this dinner had the traditional

"shiny red apple" as a favor for eachof the diners.

Those members of the faculty who

were present included: Dean Robert

G. Caldwell, Drs. George B. Hoadley

and John W. Stout, Major Harold R.

Jackson, Professors Manfred Rau-

scher, Leicester F. Hamilton, Ernest A.

Hauser, Raymond D. Douglass, Francis

W. Sears, Alexander J. Bone, WilliamP. Allis, Robert J. Van de Graff, Wil-

liam T. Martin, Clark S. Robinson,

Hans Mueller, Theodore Smith, Joseph

S. Newell, C. Fayette Taylor, DouglasM. McGregor, and Earl B. Millard,Mr. Walter H. Stockmayer, and Mr.James C. Stout.

Solar Energy(Continued from Page 1)

will consist of a shallow, box-like

device placed in a recess on the roofof the building. A metal sheet, painted

black, is placed at the bottom of the

box and covers a series of thinl-walled

metal tubes. Water circulated through

these tubes is thereby heated by the

sun's radiant energy.

The building's heating system util-

izes a type of forced air circulation.

Air is warmed by passing it over a

tank which holds the hot water sup-

plied by the heating box on the roof.

Heating Systems Studied

A refrigeration system, operating on

an absorption principle and using sun-

light as its heat source, is also

planned. Although the building is quite

small, conditions of the average dwell-

ing have been simulated as much as

possible by the use of an unusual

amount of insulation. Both heat and

cold conditioning can therefore be in-

vtestigated.

M~agouln Lecture(Continued from Page 1)

The marriage lecturer also promised

that the discussion period on Wednes-

day, to follow the lecture, should prove

of especial interest. These discussion

periods which are held in Room 1-190

at 5: 00 P.M. on the day following each

lecture are a regular feature of the

series.

Last Wednesday's discussion period

consisted of an hour of lively question-

ing, by the students present of Pro-

fessor Magoun. The definition of eco-

nomic competence was given again bythe lecturer as the ability of the mar-riage partner to do his or her jobwell in the family community.

Outing Club{Continued from Page I)

evening of Saturday, November 18,with the cooperation of the RadcliffeOuting Club. Alan A. Smith, '41, isin charge of the dance; the squaredance caller is to be "Mike" Frueh,'41. Attendance at the dance is re-served for Outing Club members.

THE THIRD FACTOR

There is a war in Europe. This countryis faced with the question of our entranceinto that war. We, as students, are facedwith that question; a question which has.three possible answers.

Either we will enter that war, or we willnot enter that war-or the question of ourentrance is an absurdity; it cannot beanswered yes or no, for it cannot be put.

That third answer is the important one.Ask any average man or student if we willenter the war. He will say either yes or noor maybe. He has not considered the possi-bility that we have no right to ask thequestion, the possibility that we have no rea-son to even consider entrance into the war.

Admitted that at present such a possi-bility is not a probability, it is neverthelessa definite f actor in the situation. It is afactor that has been almost entirely neglectediin public discussions of neutrality. It*is apossibility which only concerted considera-tion can make 'into a probability.

If enough people in this country wrouldthink about that third answer and believe itto be the correct one, it would become thecorrect one. They would make it so.

We must make it the correct one. Wemust build up within ourselves a power ofsvmpa.thy for the people who are being mis-led and of pity for those who lead them, apower which will withstand the emotionalblasts of the battle spirit. There is somereason for that perversion of the soul wrhichthe leaders of nations are showing, some rea-son perhaps beyond their personal control.It is not their fault. We cannot cure thatperversion with the scalpel of hatred.

We must not let the tide of emotion, whichis rising in this country, overpower us. Thatemotion is false and ugly. It is as much ashame to our name as the similar tide whichholds powrer over so many other nations isa shame to their nlames.

We must so firmly believe in the impossi-bility of our entrance into the war, that anydiscussion of that entrance becomes non-sense. If we do not wish to fight,3 we willnot; nor wrill we be fought.

ELECTIONS

The Tech takes pleasure in announcingthe election of the following men to the posi-tion of Staff Assistants: Malcolm MacG.Anderson, Albert F. Clear, Jr., John L.Collins, John S. Ewing, Peter 'WT. Hellige,Harvey -Kram, John I. Kraus, FrederickKunreuther, Carthrae M. Laffoon, James L.McClellan, Jr., Charles D. Magdsick, Jona-thon H. Noyes, Frederick H. Olsen, PhilipE. Phaneuf, John J. Quinn, Franklin P.Seeley, Frank J. Storm, Maurice E. Taylor,Edward F. Thode, John Weingarten.

MORE COURTS

Moze bewailed is the fate of the hardworking Institute student, who is hard putto find time for athletic diversions.

Of these diversions, the most convenientfor the average student is tennis. Tennis canbe played in. t'he spare time, at odd momentson the spur of the moment; it requires notime-consuming conditioning.

However, tennis is not the most conveni-ent game for the Tech man. Hie must signup for a court weeks in advance, and whenhe gets one, it is nothing to talk about.

The Institute is now in the midst of anexpansion of its athletic plant. We wouldlike to suggest that in this expansion theInstitute provide for a sufficient number ofwell designed courts that more students mayhave anl opportunity to play the gamefrequently.

NON-REDEMPTIONS

It appears that there are a number ofundergraduates in the Institute who regarda signed pledge as nothing more than thefamed "scrap of paper".

The figures which indicate this are theones concerning payment of the pledges tothe Gym Drive, which was run at the Insti-tute two years ago. Of alumni pledges tothat drive, ninety percent have been fulfilled;of the undergraduate pledges, forty-sevenpercent.

That is an absurd disproportionality. 'We,not the alumni, will be the ones to enjoy thebenefits of that drive; we are enjoying themin part now in the form of the Briggs FieldHouse. 'We are the ones who thus shouldhave fulfilled our obligations first..

Those signed papers are obligations. Theyare our promise to pay, and are morally bind-inlg even though perhaps some were signedsolely to abate a nuisance.

They are more so an obligation in that theInstitute regarded those promlises as cash,and made its plans accordingly. By oursignature we have committed the Instituteto a program of construction much of whichhas already been carried out. 'We cannotnow back out, to leave the Institute holdingthe bag for our unfulfilled promises.

The forgetful or reluctant persons, whoowe fif ty-three percent of the amountpledged, have been notified at least threetimes by the Institute. Let's make it ourjob to see that no fourth notification isnecessary.

THiE BUTTERY

Have you ever been at the buttery in thebasement of Crafts? Have you ever givenany thought to the f act that the door wasunlocked; that there was nobody guardingthe place; that food was there for the taking?Did you ever give much thought to the factthat the "dunkers" wash their own dishes,and that they put the money in the culp with-out anybody checking up on them?

'We hear a lot of big words these days:democracy, civil liberties, Americanism, etc.;but we rarely recognize that it is a score ofsmall, individually insignificant acts of hon-esty and cooperation that give to thesephrases life and meanling. I

In a grudge battle marked by nu-

nerous penalties and the expulsion of

two players from the game, the

Juniors and Sophomores settled a year

old gridiron rivalry last Saturday,

when the Class of '41 managed to eke

out a one-point victory. In last 7year's

field day classic, the same teams

battled to a scoreless tie.

The first quarter of the game was

a Puntlng duel which greatly favorea

the Sophomores. John Arnold, Soph

be selected to shoot with the rifle

The first match has been scheduled

with the Arlington Rifle Club on the

night of Wednesday, November 22 at

the Tech rifle range. This match will

be a three position match-10 shots

prone, 10 shots kneeling, and 10 shots

standing.
