This year the Class of 1937, al-though reverting to previous proced-ure, is attempting a slightly moreambitiouis program than classes ofprevious years. With affairs at two cfthe most prominent Boston Hotels.The Continental and the Statler, theClass is evidently trying to hold aSenior Week which will leave an ex-cellence mark for classes of the fu-ture to shoot at.

Over three hundred signatures havebeen gathered in a period of threedays to a petition protesting againstthe Ins-tute's policy inl accepting aninvitation to send a representativeto the two hundredth anniversar-celebration of Goettinger Universityin Germany, circulators of the docu-ment claimed last night.

The Nazi celebration, at whichTechlolo-y will be represented byWerner Schaurte '14, prominent Ger-man industrialist is to be held thissunmmer. It has provoked much dis-cussion at tle Institute, on other calrn-ruses, and throughout the nation'spress. A number of prominent schools,both here and abroad including Yale,Princeton, and Cambridge, have de-clined to send representatives.

T'he text of the petition is as foi-10o1vs: "As students of the )~assachu-setts Institute of Technology, weProtest against the policy of the in-stitute in accepting the invitation toattend the Goettinen University'stwo hundredth anniversary celebra-tion.

FOR GOETTINGEN ANNIVERSARY

zPPOSITION to Technology's action in ac-cepting the invitation to send a repre-

sentative to Goettingen UTniversity's anniver-sary celebration was strengthened by twoevents last week. First, there have come theannouncements of Yale and Princeton thatthey are refusing similar bids, and second,there has been the immediate response of In-stitute students to a petition, protesting theschool's policy which has gathered over threehundred names in less than three days.

Although three hundred signatures do notrepresent too large a portion of the studentbody, we feel that in view of the fact that ithas been circulating only a very short timethe petition represents a commendable spiriton the part of thinking Tech men. It answersthe often heard statement that students atan engineering school are not aware of thesocial and political questions of the day.

The Goettingen celebration is not essen-tially in the nature of a scientific meeting towhich we will send a group of professors toexchange technological information and ideas.It will, instead merely resolve itself into aNazi celebration at which the Institute, ac-cording to present plans, will be formally rep-resented by a prominent German industrialistwho is a Technology alumnus. Goettingenstill has a fine reputation for its scholarship,but the Nazi authorities planning the celebra-tion care little for scholarship.

WVe oppose the Institute's policy on theground that in accepting the Nazi invitation,we are condoning the present educational sit-uation in Germany. We are celebrating lthefact that educational freedoni and the searchfor truth unhampered by political and racialbigotry hardly exists in a portion of the globe.In lending the name of a leading Americanscientific school to the Goettingen fete, weare placing a feather in the cap of the educa-tional gangsters and intellectual traitors whocontrol the present German system of school-ing.

COULD BE BETTER SPENT

N explaining the purchase by the WalkerIMemorial Committee of a forty-five dollar

directory of student activities Robert Y. Jor-

dan stated, at the Institute Comn-ittee meet-ing last night, that this was a "good use" forpart of the one hundred dollars obtained fromthe purchase of freshman ties last fall.

TRElMONT-Sunday through Tues-day, the duo showing this WhiteHunter with Warner Baxter and JuneLang and Gold Diggers of 1937 star-ing Dick Powell and Joan Blondell.

In making this statement, Jordan, a mem-ber of the Executive committee of the Insti-tute Committee, was undoubtedly expressingthe sentiments of the other members of thatgioup, which controls, or at least suggests,the activity of our undergraduate governingbody.

Without considering whether the directoryis worth the money paid for it, we must stillquestion the spirit which prompted its pur-chase. Jordan's words indicated that no bet-ter use could be made of the money fromfreshman tie sales. If, as he suggests, thisone hundred dollars is burning the pockets ofour solons, it would seem that the moneycould be put to much more worthy uses thanthat approved by the Institute Committee lastnight. Or, perhaps, the price of the freshmanties might be reduced.

WASHINGTlON ST. OLYMPIA -Beginning tomorrow are Penrod andSam with Billy Mauch and HenryWatson and Waikiki Weddimg withShirley Ross and Bob Burns.

Acceptance of this invitation is more thana courtesy from one institution to another, asstatements of the Nazi officials themselvesshow. In many of his past actions Dr. Corp-toln has shown a liberal mind. We Ilope hewill retract or modify Technology's supportof the Nazi festival.

WINS ELECTIONS

T-~.HE results of Wednesday's class electionsshow that in the absence of any specific

issues a strong political organization cansweep the class elections here without muchdifficulty. The two lower classes were exam-ples of this. In both the winning faction hadworked hard to organize its voters, and wererewarded by a clean sweep in the elections.In botlh cases, the winning -groups were fra-terniity groups, unlike most elections of thepast few years, in which the loosely organizeddormitories had generally beaten fraternitygroups because of splits among the latter.

Editor, The Tech: In last Tuesday's Tech, there wasa report that the TCA was considering reestablishing"Tech in Turkey."

The support of an instructor on the staff of RobertCollege in Turkey had to be given up in 1932 due tothe depression. It is a type of work which should bereestablished as soon as possible. Why not start thisyear ?

It was my good fortune, upon graduation, to spendone year at "Yale in .China." It was a great expe-rience and gave me the opportunity to see the resultsof such work at first hand. It is extremely worthwliile, and every member of a college benefits by themere fact that such work is being .supported by alarge part of the student body, staff, and alumni.

Such a movement serves to further the good willbetween other nations and the United States, and itis a definite step which Tech can take toward prornot-ing world peace. Many colleges have been carryingon such work for years, and all have added greatly totheir prestige both at home and abroad because oftheir interest in the development of higher educationin other lands.

By all means, let us reestablish "Tech in Turkey."Yours truly,

It is unfortunate that political factions atthe Institute are organized wholly on the basisof residence. Ability has little to do withselection. That is probably the reason Insti-tute Comdmittee meetings are so dull and gen-erally accomplish so little. Class representa-tives are mostly yes-men when it comes tovotiilg, and activity representatives are gen-erally interested only in their own pet pro-jects. Sharp differences of opinion are so rarethat they stand out as landmarks in the me-mory of those who attend meetings regula.r-ly. Part of the reason is undoubtedly themanner of choosing candidates.

Technology could do with a little real eIec-tioneering. If candidates would take as is-sues in the election some of the disputed ac-tions of the Institute Committee, for example,voters might be to pick their representativesintelligently, instead of voting blindly for thecandidate for whom their residential group is

The meet will start at 3 o'clockwith the freshman race between Techand the Crimson. At successive halfhours the 150 pound varsity race be-tween Tech and Harvard, and the jun-ior varsity race, in which Rutgerswill also take place, will be run. TheRegatta finishes with the main event,the varsity race, at 4.30.

the same one that raced il the LakeCarnegie meet last weekend. The menare in good condition and ought toprofit by the experience from theCompton Cup Races. The Crimsonboat is a powerful aggregation thatbroke the Lake Carnegie course rec-ord last week. They are a heavy boatwith experience and a beautiful row-ing style. The strength of the Rutgerscrew is unknown as this Regattamarks the first time a Scarlet boat isracing in intercollegiate competition;the sport has just been revived at theNew Jersey college. NVhat is known,however, is that they were coachedfor three years by the able Ned TenEyek and that they defeated Mranhat-ten College in an informal meet lastSaturday.

erman made the trip to New Hamp-shire to engage in the New EnglandLeague Contest.

The fast, experienced Green teamplayed havoc with the Engineers de-fense. Led by Harris arnd Pickering,who scored four goals apiece, theIndians stepped out in front after afew minutes play and led by a 12-0score at the half. Three minutes afterthe start of the final period the Techstickmen tallied their only goal whenBob De Raismes scored after a pile-upin front of the Green goal.

The Beavers opened the season witha tie against the Boston LacrosseClub, 5-5; were overwhelmed bySpringfield, 18-0 and nosed out byBrown 9-8; defeated Tufts 7-4; andlost to New IHampshire 6-1 previousto the Dartmouth game. Next Satur-day they meet Williams on t'ne Coopfield. The boys from western Massa-chusetts are reputed to be fast and tobe good stick holders.

Loomis, 14yllonen, andHodgson are expected to star in thesprints; Clark and Artz in the quar-ter; Laminsky, Rushard, and Gunarisin the half; Wirth and Crosby in themile. George Coorsen and JacksonUichols are the best hopes in the highhurdles.
