VALUE FOR MONEYTHIS year's Junior Prom, as the biggest event of the year ford

"the class of '136, has not been getting tile support it deserves.One of the biggest obstacles in the way of a r~easonabl1e sub~scrip)-tion has been the price, which has been regarded as exorb~itant, andJustly so. Moreover, students realize that the expense of the affairsdoes not end whzen the ticket has been paid for.

Realizin- that the original figure was too high, the prom com-mittee has reduced it to eighit dollars, feeling, that this reductionwill bring the subscription down to a just price. Most studentsprobably feel that even the eight dollars is still a lot of money tohand out in one jump, and fail to realize that this price is only fiftycents abcove last year's amount. Thle additional fact that the or-ch~estra engaged for the prom is one of the best should tend todispel the idea that the present price is not backed bay value.a

The Junior Class ought not to allow its major dance this year beonly a fair success. It ought to be willing to get behind the danceand make it a big success.

Plans Are ConsideredFore Anti-Wa~r Strike

Technology Mass Meeting BeingHeld On April 12

In connection with plans for inter-national anti-war strike to take placethis spring a mass meeting will beheld at the Institute on April 12.

Discussion of plans for this meetingand plans for the 1935 Anti-War Con-

!ferenlce wvil. be made at a meeting ofrepresentatives of all interested Insti-tute activities Wednesday at a o'clockin Room 4-142.

Strike Supported by NationalMovements

The international strike is beingsupported by the National Council ofMethodists Youth, the Inter-Seminary.Movement, the American Youth Con-ference, the National Student League,and the Student League of IndustrialDemocracy. Tile latter two organiza-tions have chapters at Technology.These chapters are leading and sup-porting the anti-war activities at theInstitute.

Technology organizations which aresending representatives to the Wed-nesday meeting are therInstitute -Com-nmittee, the T. C. A., The Tech, theCatholic Club, and the Menorah So-ciety. Other activities are invited toalso send representatives. These rep-resentatives are not committed to any

l anti-war action or policy.

ExposeMany and varied have been the

schemes for beating a major quiz,Physics in particular. A couple ofSophomores have been in the habit ofgoing to the first quiz of two, gettinga quiz paper, then leaving and study-ing the questions for the remainder ofthe hour in the Library. The nextperiod when they took their regularquiz they had a pretty good idea ofwhat to expect. This system hasworked efficiently in both freshmanand Sophomore exams.

However, at the last quiz, orderswere given to the proctors to allowno one to leave the room without pass-ing a paper in. And so the two sophswere found to have submitted papersfor both quizzes, they having for someobscure reason signed both paperscorrectly. Prof. Page had them on thecarpet, of course. And so ends a per-fectly good system.

RadicalsThey were discussing Vaital questions

Such a procedure is obviously unfair to thestudents who have done superior work in thecourse. It is especially unfair to the studentswho came to the Institute unprepared for therigors of the freshman year and whose per-formance suffered thereby. Moreover, everystudent is entitled, for his tuition fee, to a justrating in every subject for which he has paidhis money.

The psychological effect of such a shiftlessform of marking is likely to be far-reachingand pernicious. Although some students witha poor start which was no fault of their ownnever attempt to do better than they did dur-ing their freshman year, there are others whofind themselves in courses where this gradingsystem, or lack of it, is used, whose continualstriving to do better results in no markedchange in their grades. If he meets up withsuch a situation frequently enough he willeventually become discouraged and slacken hisefforts. Since most of his other courses usethe conventional rating system, the results ofthis relaxation might be disastrous.

This is a matter that the moribund Student-Faculty Curriculum Committee might well in-vestigate. The ancient joke of the professorgrading papers by dropping them down thestairs must not be allowed to become an ac-complished fact.

THE PEOPLE VS. PRIVILEGEROOSEVELT AND THE HOLDING COMPANY

RESIDENT Roosevelt has made a state-r ment of far-reaching importance in at-tacking the corrupt practices of the holdingcompanies. UTforturately he has cut out forhimself a task which will tax even his greatpower. The holding companies in this countryrepresent about 60%o of our total wealth. Suchcompanies as the American Telegraph andTelephone Company, itself with a rated valueof nearly five billion dollars, are rdally sizeableunits when compared to°our national wealthestimated to be from 200 to 400 billion dollars.

The holding companies were originally de-signed to provide efficient management for theoperating units, mostly utilities, at a minimumof cost. They have deteriorated into vast enter-Izrises for milking the resources of the operat-ing companies and through them the citizensof the United States. They are enabled to dothis because they have acquired controllinginterests in the operating companies and canthus dictate the policies of these units. PRoose-velt wishes to remove this power of coercionby prohibiting the holding companies fromhaving financial connections with the operat-ing units under their management. His planis recognized by reputable business men as be-ing both necessary and fair to all honest menconcerned.

But the holding companies, with their vastwealth, are not to be put aside so easily. Theywill wield the power their money has giventhem, to influence Congress; and if we are tojudge from similar situations in the past, thereis not a great likelihood that Roosevelt's meas-ure will be carried out,.

But even if the measure does not pass Con-,gress, the conditions existing in this greatstrata of American industry will be exposedto the public view. In the conflict between thepeople and vested interests, the former are toooften hampered by an ignorance of the actualstate of things. But with knowledge, it ishoped, will come a more vigorous interest insecuring more intelligent and less corruptiblerepresentation in our legislative bodies.

Hehad just completed a ringing denunci-ation of the capitalistic system whichenables students to be roo-er, that is,which compels students to provideluxuries for their oppressors by fivedollar tributes. At any rate, he hadpaused for breath when a voice froman obscure corner remarked, "Capital-ist yourself, isn't a soap box goodenough for you?" The orator retiredfrom the bench at once.

Dramashop(Continued fromt Page 1)

The change in the policy of Drama-shop which has made it a regularlyorganized club has greatly increasedits efficiency. The separate acting,business, and lighting departmentscombine to make a smoothly workingorganization that can even manage totake time out of meetings for after-noon tea.

Informality is not absent now, how-ever. When the photographs now ondisplay in the Main Lobby were taken,no one had been obtained for two-year-old Mary, so a co-ed standingnearby was pressed into service.Somewhat out of character, but theidea is there.

JOE ISN'T DEAD YET"Economic necessity has forced thought into the life

of college students. Foolish hazing and tradition, ex-orbitantly expensive fraternities, excessive drinkingand gambling are disappearing. Serious thought oneconomics and political problems is increasing." Sosays the editor of the California Daily Bruin alongwith many others in response to the Literary Digest'squestion of whether or not the "rah-rah" era is at end.

For the last five years every college newspaper hashad at least one editorial a year proclaiming the deathof "Joe College", and to a certain extent, the rah-rahboys have been subdued. The depression has killedmiany of the excessive and expensive displays typicalof the boom era collegiate capers. However, it cannotbe said that "serious thought on economics and polit-ical problems" has displaced rah-rahism.' To take itsplace has appeared a "superficial sophistication," aveneer of indifference. From observation, it is impos-sible to believe the Digest's dogmatic statement that.'a -student interested in world affairs, government, andsocial and political economy, is taking the campus,play-boy's place."

EXPENSIVE ENTERFAIN.MENTFINANCING TECHNOLOGY'S DRAMATICS

ITHIN the next two weeks Technology's,VV two dramatic activities, Dramashop and

Tech Show, will present their respective per-formances, the former its semi-annual threeact play and the latter its yearly musical com-edy. Both organizations have an importantfunction in the extra-curricular life of theschool and both their productions deserve thesupport of the students. Yet this support isapparently lacking, to judge from the reportsof ticket sales in recent years. Last year, forexample, Tech Show ran up a deficit of overtwo hundred dollars, on its three performancesof "What! Again?"

The reason, it would seem, is not so muchlack of interest on the part of the students.It is rather a lack of sufficient interest to just-ify the payment of a dollar for a seat to eitherproduction. As a minimum price, this is in-ordinately high, and an amateur organizationthat must charge it places itself in an unfa.v-orable position to compete with professionalgroups that can provide a better quality ofentertainment at a lower minimum charge.Certainly more tickets could be sold if thisprice were reduced.

However, neither organization has set thisprice in order to have an exclusive audience orin order to accumulate a bursting treasury.Each has fixed it on the basis of what wouldbe necessary to cover the expenses of its pro-duction assuming a full house. The stumblingbloclk is the size of the house each must use.

Dramashop has no other place to performthan the Commons Room of Rogers Building,a room of such diminutive proportions that itcan only accommodate about a hundred per-sons. Tech Show is similarly hampered by thelimitations in the size of the Walker gyrnna-sium, where its productions have been heldsince the resurrection of the activity two yearsago. Yet neither activity can expect the stu-dents to be so philanthropic as to pay morethan the value of the entertainment warrants.

A possible solution might be to present agreater total number of perforrnances for eachshow at a lower price per ticket. But the moresatisfactory one would be the eventual con-struction of an auditorium and theatre as apart of the Institute. Dramashop's gesture ofputting the receipts from its last pla-y into afund for the erection of such a theatre is high-ly commendable. A faster and more effectiveway would be to get some wealthy alumni in-terested in the project, certainly a much-needed improvement. This might best be doneif the dramatic organizations at Technologycontinue to give positive indication that thequality of their performances justifies such astep.

BLIND INJUSTICESTAIRCASE GRADING

LTHOUGH it hlas frequently been ad-A smitted that the system of determininggrades bcy examination, as now used in the In-stitute, is probably the best method for plac-ing the abilities of different students upon acomparative basis, it appears that that systemis not being employed universally. Severalalert students; noticing that the term gradesissued by certain departments did not waveras much as they should, inquired as to thecause and were informed that, due to the diffi-culty encountered in computing the grades ofa large -number of students'in certain courses,the resultant 'standing of those -studet waoften based upon" the'ir riecord during previousyears at the Institute.

I. C. Meet

Harold George, Jerry Webb andJoe Heal will make the trip to LehighUniversity in Easton, Pa. this week-end to compete in tlhe national inter-collegiate wrestling tournament. Al-though Co-captains Avis Der Marder-osian, New England winner in the 126pound class, and Harold Oshry, run-lier-up in the 135 pound class in thesame tourney, have made the best rec-ords of the team during the season,they will not wrestle in the nationalsbecause they cannot spare the timefrom their thesis work.

Harold George competed in only onevarsity meet this year since he couldnot make the 118 pound weight, butwill wrestle il the 126 pound class inthe nationals. Both Jerry Webb andJoe Heal are sophomores who lack ex-perience but can be depended upon togive a good account of themselves.The former is entered in the 145 poundclass while Heal is in the 155 poundclass.

Golfers Start DrillThis Week At Oakley

Technology's Golf team, under thedirection of John Cowan, Oakley Clubprofessional, plan:; to hold its firstpractice this week.

The schedule includes: April 24,Boston College at the Oakley Coun-try Club; April 30, Worcester Techat Oakley; May I, Tufts College atTufts; May 4, Bowdoin at Brunswick,Maine; May 15, New England Inter-collegiate Tournamellt, at the OakileyCountry Club. Matches with Amherstand Brown are still tentative.

The Dorm basketball teami apparently is going to be in action until thelast gull of the hoop season is fired. Games are scheduled for tomorrow andThursday, both with teams from Everett. The latter game, a return engage-ment with the Everett City Club, is a little bit uncertain at the presentmoment, for it may be impossible to use either the Walker or Hangar gymsbecause of previous reservations by other activities.

It didn't take long at the Intercollegiate championships for the145 pound boxing title to leave the banks of the Charles River. TheTech defender of the crown that Johnny Carey won in 1934 waseliminated in his first match last Friday. It will probably be quite awhile before the news reaches Careyv, for according to tile last reportswe heard of him, he was working down in Panama.

**~***Of late the scores of the Tech gyrm teamn's meets have been almost identi-

cal. The Army meet was a 3G-18 loss, that with Navy, a 38-16 defeat, andthen last Saturday came the 38-1C setback by Dartmouth. In all three coI-tests Ernie Van Ham and Jack Flaitz each contributed a first place on therings and il the tumbling, respectively. These two men, consistently perform-ing in fine style this year, should do w-ell at the Intercollegiates next month.

Glancing ahead somewhat, ive note that the tennis schedule forthis spring is a very compact one. This has always been the c ase atTech, because of the early closing of school, but somehow we feel thatthis year's schedule is more concentrated than usual. Wie base thisopinion on the fact that six intercollegiate matches are listed for theInstitute netmen within a period of fifteen days.

Swordsmen Ring Up Fourth WinOf Season Taking Rutgers

11 to 6

The Technology Fencers won a de-cisive victory over their Rutgers Uni-versity guests in Walker Gym lastSaturday afternoon, cutting out ascore of 11 to 6. This is the fourthmeet of the season that the team hasWon.

As usual Rldy Ozol's excellent work

at the foils eclipsed the exhibitionshanded in by the other fighters on theteam. However, the performances ofLeo Dantona and Andre Laus, twopromising members of Coach Roth'sjunior varsity, certainly did not passunnoticed.

The swordsmen are looking forward

to still another victory next, Saturday*when they will fence the Providence

YMCA. From the looks of things,Providence is coming up with a strongteam, so, if the Tech boys do win, itwill be their hardest earned victory ofthe year. Art Williams, Captain ofthe Technology team last year, willbe fignting foils and sabre on theRlhode Island team.

The fencers terminate their seasonwith the Intercollegiates at New YorkMarch 29. The Institute will be rep-resented by veterans in all threeweapons and the odds are about eventhat Tech will carry off a prize or twoat the big tournament.

Boxers Back BFromIntercollegiates

Capt. Nick Lefthes, Norton,Casale, All Lose In

Preliminaries

With the return of Coach Rawsonfrom the Intercollegiates at PennState, the sport of boxing is shelveduntil next season. Those who madethe trip with Coach Rawson were"Champ" Norton, 115 lbs., Capt. NickLefthes, 145 lbs., Jim Casale, 155lbs., and Manager Red Hornor. Thecoach was also accompanied by Mrs.Rawson.

The three Tech boxers were alleliminated in the preliminaries, butall gave good performances, stayingthe full three rounds against experi-enced opponents. An unusual thingabout the Intercollegiates was that inthe entire 36 bouts not a single K. O.occurred.

Champ Norton fought Stewart Finerof Harvard, Nick Lefthes fought ArtM-IcGovern of Syracuse who becamethe 145 lb. champion. Jim Casalefought Regan of Syracuse, a finalist.

Gymnasts Drop FinalMeet To Dartmouth

Lose 36-18, Despite Scoring OfFour Stars

The Engineer gymansts droppedtheir final meet of the year to Dart-mouth last Saturday by the score of36 to 18. With this loss, the team

N ends a season that fails to show a sin-gle victory, despite the consistentscoring of Captain Ernie Van Ham,Jack Flaitz, Harold Miller and DickLevis.

Van Ham won first position on theflying rings, while Flaitz won the

s tumbling with ease and took a secondon the horizontal bar. Of other Tech-nology scorers, Miller took thirds inthe rope climb and the side horse,while Lewis took a second on the par-allel bars.

These four men have scored con-sistently throughout the past seasonbut have lacked the support that isnecessary to win meets. The individualpoints scored as compiled by the man-ager are: Flaitz, 36 points; Van Ham,23 points; Miller, 22 points and Lewis,22 points. Only six points have beenscored by other members of the team.

hTe Eastern Intercollegiates whichWill be held in the Walker gym onApril 13, is the final meet on theschedule for the team. Coach HansNeudolf is putting his four starsthrough intensive training for the

Alpha Kappa Pi ranks first among the fraternities inscholastic ability according to the accompanying list ofratings recently released from the Dean's office. Thisplaces Alpha Kappa Pi first in the average over the fiveyear period although its rating has dropped 0.20 over theJune, 1934, rating and 0.30 over the February 1934, rat-ing.

In June, 1934, Alpha Kappa Pi placed second in thecomparative list of fraternity standings with Chi Phifirst. Chi Phi ranked eighth in February of last year, andthis year the fraternity dropped back again to sixth place.

'The general average of all undergraduates shows a dropof 0.16 over last June's figure. The present rating of 3.18,however, is a slight increase over the figures for last Feb-ruary. 'this same marked drop over the rating for theprevious June was noted in the average of all under-graduates released a year ago.

Dormitories again led the fraternities both in the gen-eral average and ill the standing of the freshmen. 'thedormitories are also above the average of all undergradu-ates, which indicates that they probably stand above thecommuters also because the commuters are the most num-erous group among the undergraduates. No definite fig-ures are computed for the rating of the group of commut-ing students.

Inasmuch as the trend for several years has been a de-crease in the rating for February over that of the previ-ous June, the standings of the fraternities should be com-pared with the standing a year ago. Ten fraternities showa decrease in rating when compared with February, 1934while fourteen fraternities show an increase. There wasno change in the rating of Phi Mu Delta over last year andseveral fraternities, such as Delta Kappa Epsilon, SigmaNou, and Kappa Sigma, show very little change over lastyear.

Of the fraternities ranking among the first six, ThetaDelta Chi, Delta, Tau Delta, and Phi Delta Theta are new-comers to the group, ranking twelfth, eighteenth, andninth, respectively, last June. Delta Upsilon also showsa rise from sixth to second place. Drops are shown byPhi Mu Delta, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi KEappa Sigma, mhichranked third, fourth, and sixth, respectively, last June.

Fraternity upperclassmen averaged higher than fra-ternity freshmen by 0.07 while last year the upperclass-men outranked the freshmen by 0.11.

Three of the fraternities which rank among the firstsix in the averao-e of all their undergraduates also rankamong the first six in the standing of their freshmen.They are Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, and Chi Phi.Alpha Kappa Pi has had no f reshmen for the last twoyears.

the facts would lead one to believe.Although it is true that hourly wageshave gone up 70%, yet employmenthas lagged so that weekly wages havedecreased until they are in effect be-low the minimum wage. The fault ofthis situation Mr. Gorman lays at thedoorstep of the avaricious employer.

Cites Code Benefits"The textile code is not working to

the satisfaction and benefit of theworkers but to the satisfaction andbenefit of the employer.. . They (theemployers) have got their share outof recovery. The workers did not!"Mr. Gorman cited the benefits thatthe N.R.A. has effected, but statedthat those were things that the indus-try was not "big enough to do for it-self." The evils were not eliminated.He stressed the fact that the futureof N.R.A. was uncertain, but statedthat the union "was in favor of theN.R.A. with modifications."

Satisfied with StrikeIn regard to the strike of last fall,

Mr. Gorman expressed his satisfac-tion. If it did nothing else, he stated,it brought before the public the prob-lems of the industry and made themthink about it. Also, the action of theAdministration in arbitrating and ap-pointing groups to iook into the situ-ation met with the praise of thespeaker. "Tlhe Union as such still hasfaith in Roosevelt."

This "wiggle" was developed by LaBelle while she lived in an Egyptianharem as the Sultan's favorite, and itis done in native costume. Contraryto popular belief, the poster displayedat the Tech Show desk in the lobby isnot La Belle as she will appear Thurs-day, but is an older sketch of Fatima,in the days when she was a co-ed atTechnology,

The highlight of the chorus still bethe Mechanization Ballet, in -whichFred A. Prahl, General Manager ofthe show, will take part. This will bedone in the true Hans Weiner style,Prahl declared.

the "Three Songs" although the con-nection is not always evident.

Lenin's voice taken from a short ad-dress, is reproduced, together with theEnglish translation.

The main effort of the film is di-rected to telling of the people's lovefor Lenin, their willingness to die forhind, the abyss from which he liftedthem and height which they have at-tained to the vresent. The panoramaof scenes depicted is interestingenough, but would seemn to need moreexplanatory notes.

Harem Dancer WillCome tHere Thursday

"La Belle Fatima will have some-thing to say to the boys after she hasdone her special dance," the Tech

man, sophomore, and junior classesaway from class spirit and support ofnecessary social functions justifies thedecision."Leo R. Dantona, '37, XV-1c, 132 Havre

St., East Boston:"It's a good idea! Now all the

profits can go into the class funds.Later all the classes can merge theiraccumulated funds and use the moneyfor worthwhile purposes."Andre N. Laus, '37, XV2, 68 No. Bea-

con St.:"Very logical. Why should the dance

committee work for the club, take allpenalties and get nothing?"

Norman B. Robbins, '37, XVI, 314Memorial Drive, Cambridge:"This ruling is only fair since the

committee is representative of thegroup involved and should not be con-sidered as separate from it."Leonard Stearns, '37, V, 284 Ferry

St., Malden:"Since a dance is run either for the

pleasure of profit of the class or so-ciety, the saddling of the committeechosen by the society with any lossescreated by the dance is unfair. Thecause of the loss often lies in the factthat the society or class has failedproperly to support the affair. Thetreasury should make up the deficit."

Harold Miller, '36, XVI, Dormitories:"After all, the committees do all

the work and therefore I am in favorof reducing their burden, but in orderto liven up the committees and insuresuccess, it might be well to make themfifty per cent responsible."

I Question for next issue: "TheCanadian Government has recentlydecreed that the Dionne quintupletsshall become wards of the King. WhatiS your opinion of this decision?"

Question for today: "A recent rul-in2g of the Institute Committee makesclass and club treasuries father thandance committees fiucLncially respons-zblle for any dances rsun by the society.

V1jzat is your opinion of this ruling?"

Joseph G. Bryan, '37, IX-A, 97 GreenSt., Melrose:"If an organization gives a dance,

one may justly assume that the mem-bers at large will benefit. Provisionshould be made so that the risk canbe stood by the members at large. Ithink that the ruling is a wise one."Mjerrill E. Tolman, '38, I, 36 Everett

St., Arlington:"I think this ruling is to an advant-

age. It minimizes the work done inhandling receipts and expenses by theelimination of the transfer of themfrom the dance committee to thetreasurer, which change necessitatesdouble the number of reports, ac-counts, and possibilities of errors. Iffewer people handle the finances thereis less chance of mistakes and fewerpeople have the responsibility."

reredith C. Wardle, '38, XVI, Dormi-tories:"The class should be responsible for

all dances undertaken as a means ofpromoting class spirit."

John E. Orchard, '35, XV2, 532 BeaconSt., Boston:"Thi.s ruling definitely limits any

incentive on the part of dance com-mittees. Nevertheless, the recenttrend, as shown by the present fresh-

Reviews and Previews

"Three Sonigs About Lenin""Three Songs About Lenin" at the

Majestic this week is rather disap-pointing, unless one has a thoroughknowledge of Russian history. Thepicture does, to be sure, furnish anindication of the greatness and powerof Lenin, but it does not afford anyreally intimate idea of the characterof the man, beyond that assigned tohim by his devoted followers after hisdeath.

The picture has no plot, but consistsof a number of movie "shots" ofLenin, Russian celebrations, pageants,parades, collective farms, and otheronly distantly related subjects. An at-terpt is made to have them apply to
