WTith the football season well on itsWay, THE TECH again takes theinitiative and condescends to chal-lenge the staff of the "poor Pussy"Phosphorus to the annual footballgame.

This challenge is given, not becauseTHE TECH feels that such a game willbe an actual contest for athleticsupremacy as it used to be beforePhosphorus got old and feeble, butrather to keep up the old traditionand to afford the newsies an oppor-tunity to get some exercise.

Formal ChallengeTo make the affair more legal, THE

TECH presents an official and formalchallenge to the Voo Doo staff: "THETECH hereby challenges the Voo Dooto a football game, said game to takeplace in about two weeks, the exacttime, date, and place to be decidedupon by representative mem-bers ofeach publication."

Plans for the game, ill anticipationof the acceptance of the challenge, arebeing made by ITi- TECH, these pla11scalling for only a five man team,which, it is felt, wvill be mnore thanenough to lick any eleven that Phos-phorus aial be able to put -up.

Avukah, an organization formed tofoster stronger Zionist feeling amongthe present generation of Jewish col-lege students, held a meeting lastMonday evening in the Philips BrookeHouse, at Harvard.

The meeting was conducted underthe supervision of Dr. Akzin, fellowat Harvard. Mr. Charles Rosenweig,'37, Harvard, gave a short talk on thecultural structure in Palestine. Thegroup then discussed the topic fromtheir own points of view.

Another discussion on the socialand economic structure in Palestine,was begun by Miss Franke, '36, Rad-cliffe. Mr. Shapiro, '35, M. I. T., gavea short talk on the views of the vari-ous classes now in Palestine as to thetype of government they would liketo have there.

The meeting was adjourned afterdeciding that the next meeting be heldMonday, Nov. 5, in the Philips BrookeHouse, at 7 o'clock. All interestedin the 4vukah should see E. Postof-sky, '37, Walcott 405, TechnologyDorms.

Says Tie Restriction MayRemoved Before End

Of This TermBreaking a precedent of long stand-

ing, the Alumni Association Councilof Technology has voted to hold year-ly reunions on the day previous toCommencement. Formerly reunionswere at intervals of five years with nospecified date. The council acted ona recommendation of a committeewhich made a study of the problem.

Under the new plan the five yearall-Technology reunions will no longerbe held. Instead, alumni will have anopportunity to visit the Institute an-nually on Alumni Day and participatein the activities of commencement.The annual alumni dinner which inthe past has been held in mid-winter,

the Committee not as stern law-makers, but merely as people respons-

Plane Takes Off Every Morningat 6:30, Meteorograph RecordsTemperature, Pressure, AriHumidity Automatically

Despite the death of LieutenantHenry B. Harris in an automobile ac-cident at Elmira, New York, last sum-mer, the Institute's Aeronautics de-partment has continued to make highaltitude weather observations. Lastyear Lt.: Harris flew the plane alone,making a new altitude record for non-professional fliers in Massachusetts.The army plane is now piloted on al-ternate days by Lieutenants ArthurF. Merewether and Julius R. Lacey,both graduate students sent to Tech-nology by the United States Army tostudy meteorology.

Every morning at 6:30 the planetakes off at the East Boston Airportfor an hour's flight. A meteorograph

carried in the airship records thetemperature, barometric pressure, andhumidity at the altitude of 22,000feet, while the pilot himself observesthe smoke, haze, clouds, and generalvisibility. This data, compared withsimilar readings taken at lesser alti-tudes and a, other weather stationsthroughout the United States, is usedin making the weather maps for thecountry.

Varied CareerLieutenant Merewether has had an

interesting and varied career in wide-ly different fields. Originally fromEast Providence, Rhode Island, he wasgraduated from Brown University in1922 with the degree of Bachelor ofPhilosopsy in chemistry. The nextyear he spent as a professional base-ball player in the Pittsburgh andminor leagues. After a season ascoach of baseball, football, and hockey

F ive hundred and ninety-four out ofa total of 678 fraternity and dormi-tory men asked "Do you favor therevival of the Tech Circus this year,and if so would you support it?" an-swered "yes" in a poll conducted byTHE TECH last night.

Seventy-eight per cent of the dorm-itory men polled answered "yes"',

6.2% answered "no", and 15.8% pro-fessed indifference. The fraternitieswere practically unanimously infavor, with 93.0% voting "yes", 4.3%"no", aind 2.7% "indiflerent".

Approximately 73% of the SeniorClass in the dormitories favored aCircus, 85% of the Junior Class, 82%of the Sopllomores, and 85% of thefreshmen.

The last Techl Circus was held atthe Institute in 1932 in the armoryadjacent to Coop field. One of thefeatures of the event weas a bar con-ducted by THE TECH, over whichwas sold beer. Some of the otherswvere a "Ferris Wheel" exhibited bythe Alplh Tau Omega fraternity, "TheSpinning Pot" by Sigma Chi, a fort-une telling booth by Kappa Sigma, apitch penny booth conducted by PhiBeta Epsilon, movies by Phi MuDelta, and many other booths.

The first Circus was held on MarchI, 1923, and since then they havetaken place at irregular intervals.

First Weekly Dinner WednesdayAugments Semi-Weekly

House Teas

Serving the double purpose of pro-viding an opportunity for graduatestudents at Technology to meet in agroup and at the same time taking ad-vantage of the many interesting andstimulating speakers in and aroundBoston, the first weekly graduatehouse dinners was held Wednesdayevening in Walker Memorial withPresident Karl T. Compton as thefirst speaker.

These weekly dinners were heldwith marked success last year andprovide an essential phase of theGraduate House activities.

The informality of the affairs is oneof the most important features and alively discussion usually follows everytalk, always with an opportunity forthe students to meet the speaker per-sonally.

The beginning of these dinnersWednesday night marks the start. ofthe Graduate House activities for theyear. A number of "house teas" areplanned with the accompanying "openhouse" throughout the dormitories.Every Tuesday and Thursday eve-nings members of the house gather inthe buttery in the basement of Craftsfor cocoa and a "bull-session." Thegraduates also have their own ath-letic organizations which competewith other dormitory teams.

Dr. Avery A. Ashdown, house-master, also announces as the newgraduate house committee, E. F.Creery, Jr.; J. PH. Holden; A. S.Langsdorf, Jr.; D. B. Langmuir; C. F.Partridge; and W. M. Murray.

enger revenue by approaching airplane per-formance. But it is claimed by the biologiststhat evolution, or at least mutation, occursmost rapidly in times of stress.

Motivated by heavy losses, certain com-panies have inaugurated a drastically newtype of passenger service which is featuredby high speed, frequency of service, (when-and--if-many units are installed), air condi-tioning and cooling, and all the latest gadgetsto-attract- patrnage.-

If prediction is based on the records of theChicago, Burlington & Quincy 'Zephyr", andthe Union Pacific six car train, this modernservice may revive depleted revenues as hasno improvement in many years of railroadoperation. The usual three car motor unit,each car -weighing 7i'0 tons, requires some 1600horsepower to achieve the same performanceas the "Zephyr" with its 660 horsepowerDiesel. As a rule, steam locomotives costsome $30 per horsepower compared to $80 forDiesels. It takes a large saving in fuel coststo make up for a so much heavier initial cost.Nor have these lightweight cars received thetest of service as to permanence and safety.

Prospects for a large number of suchstreamlined, high speed units being built aresmall, for the tremendous investment in theheavy, now perhaps obsolete passenger carsprevents their being discarded. Neither havethe railroads the large surpluses needed tobuild many of these expensive trains.

However, speaking more from principle thanfrom knowledge, we feel that this attempt atnew schedules should be continued, for asMachiavelli said:

"sHe will succeed who directs his actions ac-cording to the spirit of the times."

OPEN FORUM'In opening its columns to letters addressed

to the Editor, THE TECH does not guaranteepubltication nor does it necessarily endorsethe opinions expressed. Only signed corm-munications will be considered. However, ifthe writer so desires, only thle initials quillapapea o77. publication.

The F.E.R.A.To the Editor of THE 'TECH:

F.E.R.A. workers were considerably misrepresentedin an editorial published in THE TECH last Tuesday.Accordingly, a clarification of our position seems tobe in order.

THIE TECEI is -undoubtedly correct in saying that"many of the jobs llow held byr F.E.R>.A. students

would not be available wnere it not for the funds pro-vided by the government", but it is absolutely warongin stating that "the money provided by the F.E.R.A.dose not belong by right to these students, but in plainlanguage is considerably of a gift." Thle vione~y thattoe r-eceive from the F.E.R.A. is paid inz retucrn fowweorg a. o0se, and at the present rate of pay it is morethan wpell earned.' Any ''gift" involved in the processIgoes to the Institute. Furthermore, as the editorialstates, "'This is as useful a type of subsidy as can befound, for it creates a larger store of trained menethan would otherwise be available, with resultingbenefit to the community."

However, we -%vish to emphasize the fact that theF.E.R.A. is an employment progranl. Consequently,the example of a general waage cut in the :F.E.R.A.,which wNill certainly (?) be followed by similar meas-ures by private employers, is in effect an attack onour general standards of pay. Therefore, is it not tothe interest of every Tech employee as well as F.E.R.A.students to see that F.E.R.A. wvages are maintainedat levels commensurate -with the type of work beingdone? W~e believe that it is, and this is the principalreason for our objection to the wtage reduction.

Apparently, THE TECH fears that any criticism ofour present conditions of employment will "jeopardizethe certainty of thirty cents an hour." In the firstplace, the fact that we have just received a wage cutdemonstrates the uncertainty of even the thirty cent-rate. Indeed, passive acceptance of this measure isan inducement for further retrenchment. On theother hand, F.E.R.A. workers have been faced by thesame situation on other projects and by letters ex-pressing their collective protest save succeeded inrestoring their wage cuts. This, for example, xvas themethod employed -wKith success by the Boston Chapterof the Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemistsand -Technicians in the case of members who weredraughtsmen and designers on the State PlanningBoard. 'N1R e see llo reason wvhy their example shouldnot be followed.

Finally, THE TECH attempted to estimate the atti--tude of the general body of F.E.R.A. students by theattendance of only six at last Saturday's meeting,without being aware of the fact that these six formedthe Provisional Executive Council acting in the inter-ests of over forty F.E.R.A.- students who have al-ready agreed to take action. Moreover, at least twothirds of the F.E.R.A. -workers have yet to be ap-proached.

Evidently, the editorial was intended to be an obit-uary of - the new movement. -However,, the patientrefuses to conformn with the diagnosis and is far fromdead.-

OPEN FORUM (Continued)

Boys Will Be MoysTo the Editor of THE TECH:

A successful Field Day! Yes, interms of a series of clean, hard, ath-letic contests, it was. But this hasalways been characteristic of, ath-letics at M. I. T. We have alwaystaken our athletics for the fun ofthem and the physical exercise thaetwe could get out of them, and not forpublicity, prowess or prestige.

We have serious misgivings, how-ever, as to whether the Institute Com-mittee is doing such a great serviceto the students and to the good nameof the Institute in substituting a badnew tradition for a bad old one. Werefer to the evident satisfaction onthe part of the Institute Committeeover the "successful" event staged onthe far side of the playing field, thenauseating, disgusting and puerilgarbage fight. True enough, theflinging in each others' faces ofbushels of stinking fish, rotten eggsand decayed vegetables was confinedto only those students and the dozensof young hoodlluns from the Cam-bridge slurms who voluntarily partici-pated in is. We wonder, however, ifperhaps there was not a perceptibleloss of self respect, if the thin veneerof civilization wasn't rubbed danger-ously thin by such calculated care andsolicitude on the part of the InstituteCommittee in making so convenientlypossible this event.

Furthermore, we doubt as towhether this event and the glove fighthave had much to do with the elminia-tion of the former snake dance overthe Harvard Bridge into Boston. Wethink this tradition died a more orless natural death after the difficultiesof a few years back. Some old fash-ioned medical practitioners used tofollow the logic of "post hoc, ergo,proptor hoc" that is to say, the pa-tient got better after taking the pinkpills, hence he got better because hetook the pink pills. We think thestudent body would have gotten overthe snake dance disease anyway with-out having had to take a prescriptioninvolving garbage throwing. Perhapsthis quaint new custom, so easily con-fined this year to the back of the riflerange, may at some future time blos-som forth in the Great Court, or, hor-ror of horrors, out on Memorial Drive,

where someone might see it. Pulling

a few trolley wires and booing at a

few policemen might then seem like a

harmless diversion in comparison.

In fact, the present solution of the

difficulties of Field Day might seem

about as misguided to us as would be

the action of a school principal who,

in order to protect the front of his

building from an occasional dirty

word or suggestive picture, would

thoughtfully provide nice smooth

white walls in the basement, some

crayon and a bit of charcoal and en-

courage the little fellows to treat

themselves to some good clean unin-;

terrupted smut without thereby injur-

ing the good name of the school-all

this on the pretext that after all, boys

-vill be boys.

Flying FoolThe other day the Institute received

a letter from a German inventor ad.dressed to the "Technical Director.,It seemed that the writer had inventeda contrivance which spelled the doomof the automobile and airplane.andofered a cheap means of transporta.tion to the general public.

The contraption is very simple. itconsists, according to the letter, of _two metal plates, five centimeters-square, two buttons, and a smallcharging device carried in a knap.sack. The user attaches the plates tohis feet, and pushes the button on his -right side. This causes the plates to -be charged with a force acting against gravity. The traveller is lifted to any -desired height in the air, and stops--his ascent by pushing the button onhis left side. This discharges theplates, and gravity begins to work again. For ascents into the strato--sphere, an automobile inner tube iscarried from which the flyer cbtains air. The lnapsack carries food as-well as the rest of the apparatus.

But Not So DumbThe worthy designer of the device

has secured the backing of 37 final=ciers, but alas, they won't give him,any more money. They want to see-the device work. So the inventorwould like very much to get in touch -with the Technology inventor of the"thinking machine". Just what he Iwants, he doesn't make clear, but hemay want a robot to test out the de -vice. He promises immense profitsto anyone willing to go in with him.Well, we don't claim to be scientists,w-Ebut we haven't heard of the law ofgravity being repealed lately, as the inventor will find out when he tries-his brain-child out.

P ost MortemFor the benefit of those students-

who went up to hear Curley speak-the other day, hoping for a fight or.something, we repeat a story we heardabout that worthy. Curley wvas giv- cing a speech at a political rally in asmall town in Massachusetts. Bacon, according to Curley, was just anotherexample of the grafting type of RIor- Rgan Company vice-president. To illu s-trate his point he told a story aboutone of those vice-presidents who diedand, strangely enough, went to iheaven. Accosted at the pearly gatesby the angel Gabriel, he gave his cre- Identials and the angel Gabriel went

AGREEING TO DISAGREE

NAVAL CONFERENCE

'EELS for two battleships laid at GenoaAKand Trieste," says the New York Times.

". . .. local clergy blessed the keels. Both citieswere jubilant because the work of construc-tion will absorb some of their unemployment."

The item might have been written some fewcenturies ago as a British sovereign gaveorders for the strengthening of England'swooden wall. Those who strive for a worldwithout arms must wonder at man's inertiaas with the memory of war and threats ofwar still fresh, cities rejoice and priests givetheir blessings when a nation's armor isthickened.

Tle' ship, ralds of the world offer a poorlbach-o-ound for the next naval conference.With disavreement practically agreed on be-forehand, the size of navies will apparently bedeter mined in the old, old way, by the r e-sources of nations and the depth of their sus-picions.

WE'RE "AGIN" IT

FORMATION OF OPINION

T 'is prob~able that a large part of the criti-1cism directed at the New Deal and coming

from men powerful through industrial wealth,acquired or inherited, and a large part of thepr aise from the "under dog" is motivated,consciously or not, by basicly selfish motives.

The "revolution" in American political lifeh~as not yet progressed, and shows -no signsof so doing, to the point where the power orsecurity of the controllers of capital is seri-ously endangered.

A rigid application of present New Dealphilosophy will, no doubt, hinder them froma free expression of their will, but under noconceivable conditions will they sufferz anyreal hardship. Yet such is the mind of man,that even this mild thr eat to his 'resentrights and privileges brings forth resentmentwhich shows itself is not always logical criti-cism.

The resistance of such men to social legis-lation is not inspired by a desire to further theeconomic intelrests of the laborers, white collarworokers, pro'fessionals, and small businessmen who constitute the bulk of our popula-tion. Neither .-are the views of "radicals"based strictly on considerations of the com-mon good.

It would bie better both for conser vativeaend liberal if in c)riticism they guard moreBalefully against rationalization and questiontheir reason before their egro.

Coach Henry McCarthy has quite a problem on his hainds in selecting acapable quintet to take the floor against Harvard in the Hangar Gym onDecember 8. McCarthy has to find men to replace Gene O'Brien, Red Ken-nedy, Tom Murphy, and Bob McIver. Only three real veterans remain fromlast year. These men, Demo, Garth, and Thornton, will probably form thenucleus of this year's outfit. Freddie O'Brien, no relation to last year'sGene, may pair up with Thornton at the forward berths, while Dick Smith,a rangy senior who was ineligible in 1933-34, is being groomed for the pivot

position.

Coach McCarthy has the squad of candidates working out daily,with the freshmen turning out three times a week. Red Steele, coachof the freshman Field Day football team, was assisting McCarthywith the yearling hoopsters at their last practice session and willcontinue to do so in the future. Steele is a graduate student at theInsitute and should prove an able aid to the head coach.

Evidently the soccer team is determined to stay in the scoring columnas long as possible. After chalking up their first counter in nearly two sea-sons last Saturday, the booters tallied again in the Army game at West Pointon Wednesday. May they continue their scoring and may they soon makeenough goals in one contest to enable them to be on the long end of thecount at the end of the contest.

The playoff for the Dorm Indoor Baseball Championship has beenset for next Tuesday morning. Neither Walcott nor Munroe, the twocontestants, has lost a league game this season, so there ought to bea real hot struggle on tap Tuesday. Because of recent disputes andbickerings engendered by umpires' decisions it is expected that twoarbiters will handle the game, one man being behind the plate, theother on the bases.

Coach Roth Satisfied With Sea-son Material

Fencing Coach John Roth will haveto build next season's freshman team

from the bottom up, as only two ofthe twelve candidates for the yearlingteam have had any previous experi-ence.

Coach Roth, however, is not dis-mayed at this fact although there areonly half as many freshmen out thisyear as there were last. Roth is hope-ful because all of his small squadare very willing and conscientiousworkers.

During the first two practices thisweek, the new comers were drilled inthe fundamentals of advancing andretreating both by Roth and by mem-bers of the varsity who assisted him.

Hiany Veteran Marksmenl InsureA Wonderful Season

Says Managel

"Despite a tough schedule, the pros-pects of the Rifle team are wonder-ful," manager C. N. Endweiss, de-clared last night. There are a largenumber of veteran riflemen back thisyear who have proven their mettleduring many strenuous hours ofcompetition with the team. Theseveterans include R. J. Greer, '35, R. A.Denton, '36, C. F. B. Price, Jr., '36,R. E. Rice, '35, and L. C. Hall, cap-tain of the team.

The eagle-eyed Technology marks-nen face a long, stiff schedule thisy ear. Their first match will be withthe Marine Corps at the Tech RifleRange on November 16. On the 23rdthe second string riflemen will shoota shoulder to shoulder match withthe Yankee Division also at the Insti-tute Rifle range. Both of these match-es wvill be shot from two positions,

L prone and standing. In December, theteam will compete against the Bev-erly Rifle and Revolver Club and laterin the month will match shots withthe Lowell Textile Institute, both be-ing held here. The team will makeno trips until after February when itwill attend shoots held at the NavalInstitute at Annapolis, at the MilitaryAcademy at West Point, and at YaleUniversity at N~ew Haven.

The manager also reported thepurchase of three new rifles, the ordi-nary Springfield .22 calibre guns withthe Lyman aperture sights.

The holders of the present highscores for practice shoots held at theInstitute range are as follows: Prone:100, R. J. Greer, '35, R. A. Denton,'.36, and C. N. Exndweiss, '36. Kneeling:95, C. N. Endweiss, 736, 90-Standing-J. F. Keithley, '37.

Lieutenant A. C. Bridges, command-ing officer of the Freshman rifle team,issued a call for more candidates forthe team. Some of the men who hadbeen asked to come out for the teamat freshmen camp have not tried outfor the team; Lieutenant Bridgeswould like to have these men comeout at once. However, all freshmenwho are interested in riflery are cord-ially invited to come out for the team.There is no financial charge for thebullets and the use of the guns. Theseare all supplied by the governmentwhich also supplies fatigue clothingin which to shoot. No charge is madefor the targets or anything else. Itis not necessary that the applicant bea Daniel Boone as long as he is in-terested and is willing to try, theRifle team will be glad to have him.It is important that all interestedcome out at once because much prac-tice will be necessary for the fresh-mien postal matches which will takeplace after February. Those whomnake the team will be awarded theirclass numerals.

Thle schedule for rifle practice is asfollows: Tuesday, 10-1; Wednesday,9-12; Thursday, 1-5; Friday, 9-12.

ENGINEERS MEETDEFEAT AT THANDS-OF ARMY BOOTER

Tech Soccer Team Shows GreatImprovement -But Army

Wins, 5 to 1

BROWN NEXT ON SCHEDULE

The Tech booters were defeated bya score of 5 to 1, by Army at WestPoint, last Wednesday. The score isnot indicative of the marked improve-ment the Engineers showed as theyput up their best game of the season,

Army scored three goals in the firstperiod before the Engineers hit theirstride. After that Army was out-played, and could make no headwayuntil the last period, when the Engin-eers again weakened. Waxman scoredthe Tech goal onl a penalty kick inthe first period.

After this encouraging showing,hopes -are high for a victory overBrown at Providence this Saturday.A victory would do much to compen-sate for the 3 to 1. o-vertime defeatmet at their hands last year. Tech leduntil the third period, but Brown tiedthe score before the final whistle, andforged ahead in the extra period.

Technology, receiving the degree ofMaster of Science in 1925.

While at the Institute, he becameinterested in aeronautics. Not yieldingto this new influence, he worked dur-ing the next four years for Squibbsand Co. in New York and the Carbo-rundum Co. at Niagara. Then finallyin 1929 he went to the army flyringschool at San Antonio, Texas. The restof his time has been spent at variousair fields, particularly at Chanute,Illinois.

Lacey Active in AeronauticsLieutenanutt Julius K. Lacey is a

graduate of the University of Tennes-see in 1927. He has furthered his ed-ucation in the Government FlyingSchool, and the Army Air Corps Tech-nical School, and has attained widepractical experience in his work in theindustrial world.

He is at the Institute on a partialduty status, studying meteorology andacting as pilot on the daily observa-tion flights.

After graduation, Lieutenant Faceybecame connected with the AluminumCompany of America as plant depart-ment head. In 1929, he went to the

From San Antonio, the young offlgawent to Selfridge Field, Mickigftwhere he spent the next year with t3leFirst Pursuit Group.

To increase his knowledge of theengineering side of aeronautics, whichhas always interested him keenly, LtLacey spent a year at the Army AirCorps Technical School, studying air-plane maintenance engineering.

-Oxygen Supply NeededThe plane, a Fairchild, can be flown

to-the great height of 22,000 feet ojlyif-it is equipped with oxygen for thepilot. Because this need has not yetbeen filled this season, it has not goneto. a greater altitude than 15,000 feetThe flight takes an hour or more, aneffort being made to take the obser.vations at the same time all over thecountry so that the results should becomparable.
