here and there is explainable, but there arecertain parts of the area that become floodedwith water an inch deep at the slightest (Continuedl from page 1)provocation.

Friday of last week there was an amazingamount of water, probably partly trapped bya firm base of solid ice that clogged the drains,and not the fault of planning. That was toobad for those who did not have over-shoes toprotect against two or three inches of water,or for those who happened to step insecurelyon a submergegd piece of ice. Occasions ofthat sort can not always be avoided, but theregularly large puddles in the third line ofspaces are a constant menace that can andshould be reduced.

REQUIRES A CONSCIOUS EFFORTIt is a shame that lack of parking space

makes the main entrance so unpopular withpeople who come to Tech, but since a largenumber of men do park their cars in the rear,they might at least be accommodated by arelatively dry path to the buildings. The pres-ent model-towing-tank-walk, of which thecurb stones are often the only parts out ofwater, is of doubtful value. The sidewalks toevery other approach of the buildings drainthemselves without much trouble even duringa rain, while those who are blessed with carsmust swim half their way to class.

Along with other New Year's Resolutions,we hope that the administrative departmentof the Institute charged with the maintenanceof our back yard will put down on the list ofthings that need improvement the fact thatthe main parking space and paths leadingto it need attention.

We don't mind water once in a while, butwe'd rather choose the time and the place.

so far, and may be a good driver, but the onlysafe way to get where you are going is to beon the alert and not in any more hurry thanthe road and the rest of the traffic permits.

Four terms of eleven weeks are giveneach year. These may be taken con-secutively (graduation in three andone-quarter years) or three terms maybe taken each year (graduation in fouryears). The entrance requirements areintelligence, character and at least twoyears of college work, including thesubjects specified for Grade A medicalschools. Catalog-dues and applicationforms may be obtained from the Dean.

Driving on ice requires a technique thatmust be consciously developed and worked on.Summer driving is not comparable, and much.more caution must be exercised. Your car isonly under control while the wheels are turn-ing, since with the present day brakes allwheels may lock when the brakes are applied,and on eice the car will go where and how itpleases. Unfortunately, the car is out of con-trol wizen the wheels are going too fast aswell as when they are stopped which bringsthe additional danger of stepping too hardon the gas. iost Techn students have workedout all of these problems in freshman physics,but now and then one is reminded by a crum-pled fender that cars are heavy, the coefficientof friction on ice is low, and speeds are hardto judge.

Fenders can usually be straiglhtened andre-touched, and the popular disc wheels don'tbreak easilyr, but even if we care little for ourown safety, it mnust be borne in mind thatotlherls use the streets and they must beconsiderecd. One of the best policies seems tobe to assume that everyone else is entirelycrazy when it comes to driving, and to .keepaway from any accident that mighnt resultfrom this stupidity.

It Ihas been found to be much easier to re-member to drive more cautiously than to tryto forget the horror of a fatal accident. Forall the rush and hurrty there'may be in get-ting things done in school, there is seldom anyhaste that is worth a human life. Every yearwe see the tempo of life increasing and moreand more people feel they must rush in orderto get things done. For all the truth in thistheory, driving on ice is a poor place to prac-tice it.

Coming up from behind, the Tech-nology rifle team defeated the North-eastern University rifle team by ascore of 901 to 894 last Friday eve-ning on the Northeastern range forits fifth win in six shoulder-to-shoul-der matches.

Early in the match the Northeast-ern team began turning in exception-ally high scores and the Institutemarksmen were considerably behind.Tech's captain, Charles H. Maak, '38,and John L. Ohlson, '39, led the teamin a last minute scoring spree, how-ever, and the team squeezed out avictory by the narrow margin of sevenpoints. In addition to Maak's 184and Ohlson's 183, three sophomoresplaced. They were Norman L. Davis with 180, Jean L. Lewis with 177, andValentine deOlloqui with 177.

Other Adventures ThrillingWill's experiences with cowpunch-

ing are not the only adventures thepresent meteorology student h a sknown. Indeed, they started in hisdays at Buckmirnster College, whenhe toured the world twice. Althoughhe missed the '32 warfare in China,by only a few days, he sa w plentyof activity in the Ghandi riots inBorrbay.

Three summers later, he joined theRainbow Bridge Expedition as anarchaeologist. The expedition spentseveral months mapping unknownterritory and excavating ruins. A tripdown the swift San Juan and Colo-rado Rivers was the most thrillingexperience of thie expedition. Thetrip was made with a collapsible boatin a river flanked for many miles bytwo sheer cliffs. Only a boatload ofsupjplies was lost corming through therapids, Will boasts.

Beans AgainHere too beans were the main ar-

tiele of diet, witl rice a close second.So rare are other foods that Willtells of a time he refused a dollarfor a piece of small cantaloupe whichhe was saving for himself on a twohundred mile trip. Two hundred milesof beans, he explains smilingly, areenough to make any nian offer adollar for a piece of cantaloupe.

Still "Raring" To GoAll his experiences have not quieted

George's restless spirit, however! forhe is thinking of going to Alaskathis summer, to pan gold. The onl-thing holding him back, he explains.is that he is getting slightly tired ofnavy beans, and, too, sooner or later."I'll just have to go to work."
