Though werarely think of our own standards in thislight, the "right" standards tend to be thosewhich are best for the welfare of the groupat any particular time. -Ordinarily these stan-dards are obeyed because of the pressure ofindoctrinated beliefs, supplemented, of course,by civil laws.

Science offers the knowledge that intelli-ffent conformity with certain standards ormorals will benefit thle group.' and the indi-vidual. For an intelligent person, this knowl-edge should be and can be a much strongerreason for conforming with those standardsthan blind religious belief. In brief, then a"scientific" philosophy of life is one which isbased on a scientific understanding of theeffects and interactions of that philosophy,both on the group and on the individual.

Religion is not necessary for a well balancedphilosophy-science can serve as well or bet-ter; the sensible methods of science whichwe are taught to use in our professional workcan apply as well to fields where the rational-ized and in many cases meaningless abstrac-tions of religion have formerly been almostunchallenged.

Editor, The Tech:Arising from my precious letter on

Chinese war relief, some pertinentviewpoints have been stated in thiscolumn by "Another Graduate" andby Mr. Sun. Some of their opinionsare perfectly plausible and conscien-tious, but others require amplificationsince they are erroneous when one un-co-vers their hidden flaws.

It was mentioned that my warningwith respect to foreign entanglementsis really a false alarm. I hope it is.The fact that there are latent dangersconcurrent in the present Chinesepolicy is, however, exactly the reason

that they should be discussed. Thehumanitarian motive exemplified inthis Chinese relief is certainly anhonorable one, and one neither to bedisregarded nor ridiculed. It is to bepraised. Closer scrutiny will reveal,however, that it.is just such policywhich may draw us into war as haveother previous valorous ideals. Havewe not had wars for freedom, forhonor, and for democracy'? Have wenot. fought a war to end all wars?Why might not the nest world warbe one for the benefit of humanity?

SENIOR CLASS SPIRITNEEDS ENHANCING

HITE LAST YEAR in college should meanmore to everyone than just thirty weeks

of study. Seniors at the Institute, in general,are almost entirely lacking in class spirit.Certainly man' of the advantages of the bestcollege year should not be thrown away.

Senior Witeek has usually been the onlyreally organized function of the entire classwith them. A few more similar occasionsearlier in. the year might lend a hand in unify-in- the class of 1938.

In future years, the new housing facilitiesmay enable the seniors to have frequentmeetings and scheduled events. Anythingthat can be done to foster a better traditionof class spirit is certainly worth thinkingabout.

WORLD"S FAllR EXHIBIT1 S WORTHWHILETHRILL THIE CORPORATION undertake

//to run an exhibition at the New YorkWorld's Fair in 1939? The possibilities of anunusual type of publicity for the Institute insuch an exhibit are excellent.

Presentin- Technology to the layman is adifficult problem. as Open House committeesin the past have discovered, but the W-orld'sFair is an excellent opportunity for the Insti-fute to present itself to people from all overthe country interested in science and educa-tion. Many corporations consider Institutegraduates a necessary part of themselves, but"Science and Engineering" are not linked upwith "Massachusetts Institute of 'rechnology"in the public mind.. A carefully prepared ex-hibit run by several undergraduates or recentgraduates could help accomplish this linking.

A religious philosophy of life would bebased, in -eneral, on the ideas of God andirnmortality. There is no question that aexell-balanced philosophy of life can be basedon religion, for it has been done, althoughmany religious philosophies have been farfrom well-balanced.

BTut today science and scientific knowledgehave made ideas of God and immortality un-tenable to many people. VFteligious leadersmust depend on such vague and essentiallymeaningless concepts as "An eternity ofthought" or "The wisdom of the universe."If a reluctance to admit complete severancewith the old ideas makes people hold on stillto some notion of a God, that notion, asLothrop remarked, is such a complete abstrac-tion that it really has no meaning at all. Butwhat may the non-believer use as the basisfOr his philosophy of life?

We must Xecognize that there is a con-flict between science and religion, in thebroad sense of the terms, despite the wishfulclaims of religious leaders that they are twoseparate worlds, not. applicable to each other."Science" is not a body of facts as many as-sume or would like to believe, it is a way ofdoing things, a way of explaining things."Science" does nob mean "scientific knavwl-'ed-e," which is constantly changing, it means"scientific metthod," which is relatively -fixed.As Lothrop pointed out, religion (or God) isalso "a principle of explanation." But thetwo principles. the two methods of explan-ation, are incompatible. And the scientificmethod of explanation is the betteir one, sinceit does Ilot depend on rationalizations andwishful thinking.

But religion does more tilan explain. It

Editor, The Tech:A "prohibition" problem seems to be raising itself

at present in tie Institute and itf is by no means anoble experiment. During the past few weeks therehas been an increase in gambling here, particularlyin the form of card games.

Although many rules may be broken with nonoticeable effect, I think that infringement of regu-lations of this type has a bad effect on the moraleof both players and onlookers. The eighteenth amend-mient. was one of the most unsatisfactory laws evermade and this case is very analagous.

There is no definition of gambling even implied inthe regulations and while card playing is definitelyfrowned on, there is no stigma attached to bowling"stickers." There is nothing essentially immoral withgambling and possibly it should be allowed on thegrounds. Public opinion, however, would be definitelyopposed to anything of this sort at the Institute.

At present, round table conferences which are un-mistakably card games, held in open rooms of theschool, present a poor impression, particularly tooutsiders. The authorities should either actively pre-vent open gambling or set aside private rooms forthe games.

RELIGIONIS NOT ESSENTIAL

C41S ORTHIODOXY :RE3LIGION necessary inthe formation of a well-balanced philos-

ophy of liffe?" - the nominal subject ofWednesday's Forum meeting-can, we be-lieve, be answered in the negative. The ques-tion holds great interest for Technology men,and while both speakers Wednesday were in-teresting, neither attacked the topic directly.

Any discussion of the subject depends to alarge extent on one's definition of religion.Ballard in his book on Social Institutions says:"Religion is the process, more or less rational,by which man so organizes his emotional lifeand its related activities as to -ive him asense of security in dealing withl the mys-terirl~s factors of his social situation."

If this statement is accepted in its strictestsense, our' question is answered in the affirma-tive, by definition. However, the definitionprobably is Ineant to, and the usual concep-tion does limit it to certain types of "proc-esses," represented by what we have calledorthodox reli-I.ion.

Seeking Third Straight WinTo Maintain Spotless

Team RecordNine Tech Lettermen ReturnFor Opening Encounter

Of SeasonSeeking its third consecutive vic-

tory in shoulder-to-shoulder matches,the Technology rifle team will meetthe marksmen of the Beverly RifleClub on the Institute range this eve-ning at 7:30.

This match with Beverly is the firstof a pair of home and home matcheswhereby each team is given an oppor-tunity to act as host to the other,thus putting each at the disadvantageof firing on a strange range. In pastyears the Tech riflemen have had ahard match against Beverly, but Ser-geant McDonnell, the team coach,feels confident that his team, bol-stered up by its new sophomore re-cruits, will take the match.

Engineers Have Heavy Schedule

Attempting to avenge the twolosses which it suffered at the handsof the Terriers last year, the Beaverhockey team opens its season tonightat the Boston Arena, when it goes onthe ice with the B. U. men at eighto'clock. The Terriers, who will startone of their strongest outfits in years,will find Tech much stronger thisyear than last.

The Tech squad this year has ninevarsity lettermen skating in the cardi-nal and gray jerseys. Captain Muth-er, '38, Acker, '38, Minott, '38, Eddy,'38, Cook, '38, Drury, '39, Pickard'39, Milliker, '39, Kettendorf, '39, allvarsity lettermen, have returned.Langs, '39, Grace, '40, Small, '40, andCarnrick, '40, round out the squad.

Tech Has Experienced TeamWrith Muther at right wing, Grace

at left wing, and Minott at center,the Beavers will put an experiencedforward line on the ice. The defenseposts are also filled by veterans;Eddy is at right and, Hilliker at leftdefense for tonight's game. Carnick,at goal, is the one new man on thestarting team. He fills the post heldby Rebori last year. The Engineerswere rather weak at goal in the 1936-37 season, but the Tech nets willprobably be much better defendedwith Carrick guarding the cage.

Starting with the Boston Univer-sity engagement, the Tech icemen arein for a very busy -season. Theyplay a total of thirteen games, allbut four at home in the BostonArena. After meeting the Terriers,they-take on-Harvard on December 7,Brown at Providence on December 10,Boston College on December 14,Northeastern on December 17, Armyat West Point on January 8, andBowdoin on January 14.

One team which has always won consistently in the past is the rifleteam. When all the other sports have waned, the riflemen have gone rightalong taking match after match. Tonight, with two wins this seasonalready under their belts, the sharpshooters meet the Beverly Rifle Club.

It was also mentioned that theUnited States would be unable tokeep out of war if world equilibriumwere disturbed as it was prior to thelast war. This is certainly true. Ourtrade keeps our factories hummingand our cities busy, and a completeembargo on foreign nations-as wouldbe necessary to remain aloof froma war-would immediately result inpanic. The discussion returns, then,to the prevention of this situation.First Aid in China may show thatwe disapprove of Japan's activities,but it is not enough.

Contrary to the state-ment that "we now realize the im-poltance of international laws andtreaties" are again Italy's invasion ofEthiopia and Germany's disregard ofthe Versailles treaty. These are notail.

The fact that Chinese propagandain this country is better because theirpictures actually show conditions canbe explained, it is true, by the factthat the Chinese are really the under-dog. It is also true that Japanesearmies are fighting Chinese civiliansas well as Chinese armies. Remem-ber, though, that the Japanese peoplethemselves do not care for war; afew diplomats in control of the na-tion want it.

was recommended by the Field DayCommitteeto include the addition ofdinghy racing as one of the eventsbetween freshmen and Sophomores infuture battles. Under the proposedmanner of scoring, football and crewwould count four points; the glovefight, the relay, and the tug-of-war,three points; and the new event wouldcount as two. This would take a totalof 19 points and eliminate allychances of a tie in the final score ex-cept when there was a tie in someevent.

Open House Plans at Technologythis year gained impetus when FredKolb, '38, chairman of the committee,submitted a budget for the eventscheduled for April 30 of next year.It was urged that the activities makeevery effort to cooperate with theCombined Professional Societies intheir attempt to restore one of themost important school events of for-

OU bet they do! In aviation is one of the most dis-criminating groups of smokers in the country. The fa-

mous record holder, Col. Roscoe Turner, smokes Camels. Sodo test-pilot Lee Gehlbach, Capt. Frank Hawks, and TWA'schief pilot Hal Snead-to mention only a few. As Col. Turnerputs it: "I guess you've noticed that men in aviation aregreat smokers. And, from what I see, most fliers share myregard for Camels. They need healthy nerves. That's one bigreason why so many of us stick to Camels."

ARTHUR WALDO, JR. is aSenior in College. He says:"Working out a tough assign-ment often can mnake me feel alltuckered out. The second I feelmyself getting tired, I like to geta 'lift' with a Camel."

PETER KILLIAN is a newsphotographer. Hiis slant: "Camelsare always in the picture withme-on the job-at home-andespecially at the table. Camelshelp my digestion to keep click-ing day after day."

WINIFRED CASTLE workslong hours at her editorial desk-smokes a lot. She says: "Ithink there's nothing like Cam-els for mildness. I can smoke asmany Camels as I please andthey never get on my nerves."

EDWARD HURLEY, a success-fuI, busy architect, says: "To myway of thinking, a man doesn'treally know what honest-to-good-ness natural flavor means untilhe smokes Camels. 'I'd walk amile for a Camel!' "

ED GRAFFE, gym in-structor, says: "Yes sir,I can smoke Camels allI please without gettingjangled nerves. No mat-ter how much I dig intoa pack of Camels, theydon't tire my taste."

MARIE DRISCOLL,business girl, speaks forlots of stenographerswhen she says: "Camelscertainly have every-thing I like a cigaretteto have."
