H. H. Strauss, Staff WriterComplete reorganization of the

Combined Musical Clubs was recom-mended yesterday by the special In-vestigating Committee. In a prelim-inary report submitted to the Institute

, Committee by Anton E. Hittle, '36,> chairman of the Investigating Com-' mittee, many sweeping changes were

recommended.

In an analysis of the investigation,it was found that there is no close co-operation between the individual clubsand the members of the management.Too many members are now connectedw with the management with the result

* that much is left undone because eachperson depends uponl the other to doit.

Revised ManagementThe new management is to consist

of a Senior Board comprised of a gen-eral manager and the three leaders ofthe orchestra, glee and banjo clubs.

General conclusions reached by theinvestigating committee recommend

'that the Techtonians, the Institute Jazzorchestra should not be considered apart of the Combined Musical Clubs.The present glee club orchestra and

Dr. Compton Approves Peace Conference

While there is undoubtedly some advantage to be gained for the causeof peace through mass expressions of disapproval of war, I feel sure thatthe proposed Conference is a far more constructive approach. This Con-ference can emphasize some of the fundamental causes of war and point outways and means for their elimination, which is certainly the most effectiveway of handling the problem. This Conference will give an opportunity to gobeyond consideration of the most obvious accompaniments of war, whichare sometimes mistaken for its cause.

The administration of the Institute are wholeheartedly behind you inyour cooperative endeavor to make a valuable contribution to the cause ofPeace.

Very cordially yours,(Signed) Karl T. Compton,

President.

An All-Technology Peace Confer-ence, at which all persons and organ-izations will be given an opportunlity

to present their views to the entirestudent body, was approved yesterdayfor Monday, April 17, by the InstituteCommittee and byr President Comptonfor the Administration.

At the same time, it was revealedthat the Administration has been re-quested to dismiss classes at the In-stitute during the hour of 11-12 forthe conference.

In a letter to The Tech, printedelsewhere on this page, Dr. Comptonexpresses his whole-hearted approvalof the conference and has also com-municated his willingness to addressthe meeting, stating briefly his opin-ions on the basic causes and proposedremedies for the problem of war.

All Sides To Be AiredThe conference, which has been

proposed jointly by The Tech and theTech 'Union, is attempting to ap-proach the question of peace upon arational and impartial footing, pay-inag particular attention to all sides ofthe question and trying to determinethe best solution to the problem ofpeace.

In order to be made truly repre-sentative of the feeling of the entirestudent body, the conference is to bemanaged byr a general committee com-prised of one representative fromeach of the organizations voting tosupport the meeting, and by executivecommittee consisting of the ManagingBoard of The Tech and the SteeringCommittee of the Tech Union.

At a meeting on Wednesday night,the committee expressed the purposeof the conference as follows:

controversial subjects when it should havebeen looking out for the best attitude to taketoward a group of Technology students withcommon ideas who wish to band together. TheMusical Clubs are not banned because of preju-dice against saxophones. Why should the A. S.U. be refused recognition because they do notthink exactly as do members of the InstituteCommittee ?

FOR PEACE

AN ALL-TECHNOLOGY MEETING

FTER the sad failures of all past rallies,A mass meetings, and strikes on the Insti-

tute campus, in opposition to war, the presentproposal to discuss quietly and sanely theproblem facing the college generation seemsmore than acceptable. Red flag waving, soapbox oratory, and mob ballyhoo which accom-panied the strike meetings of last spring andthe spring before served to overshadow allpossibilities of meeting fairly the real issuewhich the American youth should be facing.

This year's proposal, which is being fur-thered by Tech Union and The Tech, shouldnot fail, however, because the direct supportof the Administration of the Institute, theInstitute Committee, and all activities on thecampus have been incorporated as the pre-requisite factor in the carrying on of thisyear's peace meeting.

Past meetings for the purpose of discussingwar and peace have failed partly because theyhave been of the nature of strikes and protestsagainst war instead of logical considerationsof peace and partly because they have been al-most wholly supported by the ultra-liberalgroups. Although these groups have usuallybeen sincere in their efforts to attain definiteopposition to war they have taken the wrong

method of securing the support of the

students as a group. The liberals havealways been in the minority and thosewho oppose them on other issues thanwar have carried their resentmentand jeering over into these matterseven when in most cases they havehad nothing better to offer. Thatthese left wing groups have been andare sincere in their efforts is proven,here at Technology at least, by theagreement of the American StudentUnion to support the coming peacemeeting.

It seems evident that at the presenttime, after the failures in the past, ameeting for peace could not hope to besuccessful if it in the least appearedto resemble the others. That themeeting scheduled for the week afternext is to be of an entirely differentnature, that the Faculty, including thePresident, is offering its active sup-port, and that logical, fair discussionis to be encouraged indicates that thismovement will obtain serious supportif any ever will.

Although the issue against war hasbeen fogged by the antic demonstra-tions which have been staged over andover again on the college campuses,there is a definite problem which isever facing the student and demand-ing his serious attention. Technologymen must not be slow in recognizingthis. Their attendance at and supportof the coming meeting will be theiropportunity for showing that thereare serious minds behind all the pooh-poohing which has been prevalent inthe past.

Symposium(Continued from Page 1)

After graduatingfrom the Instituteand spending several years in Ger-many, Dr. Hale set up an observatoryof his own in Chicago, but was almostimmediately called to the newly-formed University of Chicago as headof the Department of Astronomy. Hewas instrumental in establishing theYerkes Observatory of the Universityof Chicago and was Director for anumber of years, leaving in 1905 tobecome Director of the Mt. WilsonObservatory near Pasadena, where hehas been responsible for building the100-inch telescope, the largest in theworld until the new 200-inch telescope,for which he is also responsible, iscompleted.

In addition to these activities, whichhave made Dr. Hale one of the coun-try's most eminent astronomers, hewas largely responsible for the found-ing of the California Institute ofTechnology.

Although Dr. Hale was not able tobe present at the Symposium, a tele-gram of greetings from him was read.

INTELLECTUAL TYRANTSTHE INSTITUTE COMMITTEE AS DICTATORS

TP oHE constitution of the American StudentITUnion was refused recognition by the In-

stitute Committee at their meeting last night.In the discussion that preceded this action,various members of the governing body ex-pressed opinions that would make anyone witha true scientific attitude raise his eyebrowsseveral inches.

A scientist is an open-minded individual.With the experimental method has come a pe-riod of extensive and rigorous testing of con-cepts. No research is left uncompleted becausethe investigator has an innate prejudiceagainst it. Yet a member of the InstituteCommittee stated that because he personallyconsidered that the ideas of members of thegroup were ''filthy" he refused recognition,supported by a majority of that organization.Such an attitude is essentially unjust. Who isthere among us qualified to judge so weightya question? We do not here state that eitherside is right or wrong. We do here state thatopinions as to the rightness or wrongness ofideas of members of the A. S. U. are not per-tinent to a question of recognition. We holdwith Voltaire in this respect. "I disagree withwhat you say, but will defend to the deathyour right to say it."

An astonishing ignorance as to Just whatrecognition means was showed by variousmembers of the committee. It was pointed outthat even without recognition the A. S. U. hadthe right to meet and hold discussions. Theycould even use the name of Technology inspeaking of themselves. Hence it is obviousthat the only effect of recognition would be tobring the organization more or less under thesupervising eye of the Institute Committee.This is a much more effective method of curb-ing activities of an organization, if that iswhat is desired than narrowly refusing to lis-ten to them. In short, by recognition the Com-mittee would gain much, and by refusing totake such action it is setting itself up as areomnipotent arbiter of thought and opinion,which authority was certainly not vested in it.

Another objection raised to recognition re-volved about the fact that certain members ofthis organization were habitually engaged indemonstrations of a more or less sensationalnature outside the school grounds, whichdemonstrations reflected unfavorably on thename of the school and hence indirectly on itsgraduates. Here again it seems to us that thediscussion strayed from the point in question.Demonstrations off the campus are alreadyforbidden in a general ordinance applying to-all students and violations of that sort will bedealt with by the school authorities. Further-more lack of recognition will not make im-possible these demonstrations. The only thingit can do is to make impossible the regulationby the Committee of suchl activities in advancesof their occurrence.

It appears that the Committee let itself beblinded by personal attitudes towards certain

:S"PORTS COMMENTManager Gil Winslow of the Cambridge Collegians comes up with the

news that the unofficial Tech ball team will open up next Tuesday againstNortheastern University's varsity. Last year the Huskies took the Techplayers into camp by a 9-3 count, but the Northeastern pitching staff hassince been sadly depleted by graduation and ineligibility. Consequently a.Closer contest is anticipated for next Tuesday.

We are also informed that Professor Lawrence of the Institute'sEnglish Department will be the Collegians' coach for the season.Lawrence has had experience, both in coaching and playing, in West-ern New York State. With a seven-game schedule already arrangedfor the Tech balltossers, their new mentor will be kept busy for thenext six weeks.

Irving Newman, returning to school this year, showed that his absenceof a year hadn't lessened his squash-playing ability. Recently he earned theright to have his name inscribed on the Emerson Cup by defeating BennyGreenberg in the finals of the Emerson tourney play. In case the nameEmerson, in connection with superiority in undergraduate squash play, has astrange ring to your ears, we offer the information that Charles J. Emerson.of the class of '04 donated the cup to be awarded annually to the winner inthe undergraduate squash tournament.

Where, oh where did that statement, to the effect that the soccerteam definitely was going to be the recipient of the use of a set offloodlights, originate? It case you heard or read the story anywhere,including here, it would be well to take it with a grain of salt, for theplans are still tentative.

X:* * *e **

There seems to be a wealth of baseball news at this writing. From thefreshman manager, Mortimer Schultz, comes the news that the frosh will havean independent team this season, also. Contests have already been tentativelyarranged with several Boston prep and high schools. Schultz would like tosee better turnouts, especially for the interclass game on next Monday withthe Juniors, so that he can get a line on his best men.

Coach Oscar Hedlund stated that the outdoor track is in thefinest condition it has ever been in years. The indoor track, whichthe squad has just finished Using, has been rebuilt this year, and issaid to be one of the best in the country; so don't be surprised if theTrack Team completes their schedule with an even greater percentageof victories than it has turned in in previous years.

Rogers is very versatile in hismusical ability and handles with ex-ceptional skill the piano, trumpet,trombone, saxophone, clarinet, accor-dion, guitar and drums. He does notsucceed as well when he turns hishand to vocalizing. Jeanie Lang, radiosinger, helps make up for Rogers'vocal deficiency.

Tufts Beats M.IT.Lacrosse 6 To 2

Team Makes A Good ShowingDespite Its Bad Luck And

Inexperience

Wednesday afternoon, Tufts Col-

lege' defeated Technology's LacrosseTeam by a score of 6-2. The game wasvery fiercely contested, and penaltiesfor charging and roughing were metedout.

The Engineers had mamy openings,but failed to take advantage of them.Before Tech became coordinated,Tufts scored four goals in the first pe-riod, one in the second, and one in thethird. Tech scored two goals in thelast period, and two others which weredisallowed.

The M. I. T. Lacrosse Team is be-coming famous for its late rallies, andif the game had not been shorteneddue to darkness, there is no telling

i what the final result would have heen.Guidley was responsible for both ofTechnology's goals; Zemaiisky wasalso outstanding for the Institute. VanUmmerson starred for Tufts.

MOISTURE CONTROL

The most important single attribute of cigarettes, other thanthe tobacco itself, is moisture content.To its influence we owethe ability to make uniform cigarettes, to control combustion,and to govern quality of smoke. Excessive moisture interfereswith proper combustion, and makes cigarette smoke unpalat-able. Insufficient moisture permits dry, dusty cigarette smoketoimpinge upon the delicate mucous membraneof thesmoker.

Dr. Wdadsworth's calculus class

turned and asked if there wereany questions on the day's lesson.

As he looked at the class in

questioning them, a flash of puz-zlement passed over his face. He

stopped abruptly, walked to thedoor, opened it, and looked at the

number on the outside. Looking atthe class again, lie sheepishly

picked up his papers and left.

Elections to the Inter-FraternityConference were approved by the In.stitute Committee. Members a-proved -were George B. Wemnple, '37,chairman; John M. Simpson, Jr., '37,secretary; Robert D. Morton, '37, trea-surer, and Jervis C. Webb, '37, In-stitute Committee representative.
