Chief among the speakers wvas Os-car Hedlund, who spoke to the Sopho-mnores about their relay team, andalso urged them to turn out for theirField Day sports in general. He em-phlasized the necessity of beginningpractice early, and not waiting untilthe last few days before reportingto the team.

Three Weeks of Practice"Since Field Day has been moved

a week ahead this year," Oscar said,11you actually have only three weeksin wvhicll to prepare, instead of a fullmonth, as has usually been the case."

All Geology Material CollectedThe geology department has a

particularly precious assemblage ofores and minerals which have beengathered with much care and patiencefrom all parts of the world. Hithertothey have been scattered throughoutthe department, but now they will behoused in their new glass cages, wherespecial lighting features designed inco-operation with the Department ofElectrical Engineering will illuminatethem. It is expected that the exhibitswill all be in their mew locationswithin a few weeks.

In addition to the 16 case displayin its own building, the geology de-partment has an exhibit in the MainLobby, which is periodically changed.Here various subjects of general in-terest are treated.

That long row of glass cases thatrecently made its appearance liningthe walls of the third floor of Build-ing 4 is to be the Institute's newrmuseum. Sixteen of them have beenset up and the business of filling themhas already been undertaken by thegraduate students in -eology underthe direction of Prof. W. Warren headof the same department.

With all its other elaborate andcostly equipment, the one thing thatthe Institute has lacked has been amuseum. There was at one time, ac-cording to reports, an exhibition ofdiscarded chemical laboratory appa-ratus which was labeled a "museum",but there has been no attempt untilthe present to gather together allthe valuable possessions of the In-stitute into a permanent display.

More than one- good 'or even ex-: : ceptional student has literally "cut" = a

himself out of the Institute. Cases ;S1 |ribare on record of men who made theupper third of the Dean's List in theirfirst term as freshmen, only togradually drop in rank until theirgrades were below the minimum.

Statistics, if gathered, would un-doubtedly show that of the men drop-ping out in their Junior or late Sopho-more years, disinterest in their coursein general as manifested by inat-tendance at classes would account fora large portion. Every student atthe Institute may not be intensly irn-terested in each of his subjects, butattendance at classes whether in theactive or passive state will go a longway toward producing a passinggrade.

Prof. Lewis to AddressWest on Clay Gelation

respond to this propaganda; a fairly- iarge:number of the exceptionally gullible even ex-ceed the expectations of their advisers. Thislatter group becomes so involved in work re-moved from their studies that exam time nndsus deprived of their future company.

We do not say that there are no men capableof spending a proportionately large amount oftime on activities and succeeding in their cur-ricula work; there have been men in the pastand their will be men in the future who dis-play an enviable talent for doing everythingwell. This bit of advice is addressed to thosewho are not so fortunately blessed.

Some years ago a point system of activitytime allotment was carefully drawn up whichprovided for a total extra-curricula time ex-penditure of ten hours a week. This Isroughly one fifth of the time estimated forcurricula work. Neither of these figures isrecommended as a strict working basis for allmen. But to freshmen planning their futuretime here we strongly advise they start withthem until they become sufficiently welloriented to change with safety.

We must remember that education is ac-quired at the expense of both time and money;few of us can afford to waste either.

THIRTY PERCENT OF '39WILL NOT COME BACK

RUEL and bitter as it may sound, thefact is that a certain percentage of the

freshman class will find itself classified nextFebruary as "Expelled because of low rating".There are several reasons for this: some menwere never intended to go to a technicalschool, others fail to connect any importanceto the elementary subjects taught during thefirst year, and still others have never formedthe studying habits so necessary to scholasticsuccess.

The first two reasons are better used asexcuses to be rendered to parents upon ar-rival home than for basic explanations offailure. If one is not cut out for engineer-ing or science because one is not interestedin such subjects, there should be no valid rea-son for coming to the Institute in the firstplace. Similarly, the importance of the firstyear subjects is indicated by fullness of thecurriculum during all four years, and by thescarcity of extra-curriculum time. If fresh-man subjects were as irrelevant and unneces-sary as some freshmen think, some of thework to be done during the other three yearswould be substituted for them. There is noreason for any freshman to wait sixteenweeks in order to find out that he doesn't likethe school or the manner in Which it is run.

Studying habits, on the other hand, areusually acquired only after a year or moreof constant effort in self-training. While acertain number of entering students may haveacquired this gift through disciplinary highor preparatory school measures, and some maybe naturally gifted, the majority of fresh-men in each entering class have never en-countered, if ever heard of, the actual rate ofstudying necessary to remain at the Institute.Concentration in spite of disturbances is es-sential if all the work is to be done and suffi-cient sleep to be had.

Since the percentage of the freshman classwhich leaves "for an indefinite period" eachFebruary remains fairly constant in the longrun, any attempt to save the souls of all otthe first year men would be futile, no matterhow much advice were offered

Those freshmen wlho take to heart the ad-vice they receive will, however, deserve toremain in the Institute as much for sincerityof purpose as for the higher ratings. As oneprofessor so aptly expressed it, "Take a goodlook at the man on your left. Then look atthe man on your right. One of you will notcome back." The one who will not come backis the man who does not know how to studyand does not want to learn.

CUTTING CLASSESTHE BOOMERANG

NTERING freshmen are invariably givenadvice on the advisibility of working as-

signments thoroughly especially at the begin-ning of the term. The effects of cuttingclasses are so obvious that they would seemto need no description. But after a freshmanhas become acquainted with schedules, andhours he finds that he can miss a nine o'clockclass, to catch up on his sleep, cut an eleveno'clock period to finish the assignment forthe following hour, and leave a three hourdrawing period two hours earlier to savewear and tear on his equipment.

The direct effect of this procedure are notobvious enough to be alarming. The studentwill encounter here and there a problem whosePrinciple he has never heard of. He falls be-hind in his drawing but figures that a fewhours at the end of the term will finish it up.And his decreasing term marks are easily at-tributed to the "hard courses"for which justsuch deficient students as he have givenTechnology a reputation.

PT 1OR ITS EQIVALENT

EFORE noon of Saturday, October 19,D freshmen must indicate a preference forsome sport or take PT1, physical training.

Advice on whether or not to take PT1 cannot unfortunately be advice, but must berather a summing up of the alternatives; per-sonal preference must in the end decide. Andthe joker of the whole question, of course,is that whatever course you poor frosh fol-low you are bound to take off most of thesurplus flesh which you have probably cherish-ed for some eighteen years or more.

Just to give you an idea, in our freshmanyear we decided that crew (perhaps the mostpopular substitution) might have its bright'side. During that year, our weight averagedaround one hundred and seventy pounds; dur-ing our Sophomore year it attained an all timepeak of two hundred and three.

PT1 has the advantage over sports of re-quiring less time than any sport. Classes oftwo hours a week do not start until after fiveweeks of the term have gone by. Freshmengoing out for any sport, however, must reportevery day for an hour.

But do not let us deceive you as to PT1'sbeing a sinecure. Director Henry P. Mc-Carthy will leave no muscle unturned in aneffort to put you in good shape. His eye isvelritably eagle-like in its ability to detectthose men who are trying to cover a minimumof effort with great arm and leg wavings.

Extending the arms and rotating them insmall circles seems very tame until you tryto do it for any length of time. Stand up nowand try it for about two full minutes.

Now if you have the strength to continueit might be well to know something about themarling system. All marks for either PT1or a substitution are made out by DirectorMcCarthy himself, and are based on a recordof attendance. Cuts in either PTI or a sportmust be made up by spending an equivalentnumber of hours in PTI. It is possible toflunk physical training. although it is probablyharder than flunking 8'01 or Ml1.

But do not be scared by our description ofPT1. If you really want to put yourself in¢·ood physical shape by all means sign up with"PT" McCarthy.

ACTIVITY OVERLOADSA PROPER BALANCE

VERY year freshmen are urged to en-gage in the various activities about the

campus. They are lectured by upper class-men; they are advised by faculty members;they are cited examples of great companieslike the Bell System who demand evidenceof undergraduate extra-curricula activityfrom men they hire.

thinking, and practice in the tech-nique of group discussion.

This boy said if he could sell enoughto win the Grand Prize he was goingto marry and start for the ForeignOffice anyway. He had never beenabroad, and he felt sure once he wasthere they would practically have toget him a job.

So Brother Alpha asked him whatcost it, and he said $25.00, thirty-twovolumes, from Architecture to Zy-motic Diseases, with gold letters onthe back. So Brother Alpha asked himdid he have a little one, marked downor something, and he brought out alittle sample he had used in his caseit was dirty, for $0.25.

This little book has been a greatcomfort to Brother Alpha. It has akind of vellum cover made of oilcloth,looks like the Middle Ages, and hecarries it round with him r -w insteadof the Steam Tables.

Then, too, there has been lots andlots of other books coming into theWalker Library all Summer. BrotherAlpha read only a few but is gettingready to read some more.Hesketh Pearson his Gilbert ard Sullivan, a

biogralphy. Brother Alpha read in the parts,as his First Edition friends say, during thesummer. That is, he read some of it inHarper's Magazine. The book is a com-pendium of unpublished anecdotes about thetopsy-tumvy team, both of whom have moreidiosyncrasies than the Math Department.

Then there is Ma-n of Aran by Mr. Pat Mul-len, an Aranian actor. This is not a MotionPicture. It is rather a story about the islandsand about how they took the picture there.Anecdotes here, too, about Gortnagappleshore and the curragh work on KilmurvyStrand.

Then this Kennebunkporter Kenneth Robertshis For Authors Onzly, a bunch of second-ratethemes. Brother Alpha saw hope for a na-tion which took to its heart AruZdel andRabble in Ari.is, but when the same nationpays $2.50 per copy for the same author'sbook of essays, the Democrats might as wellkeep it.

Captain Roberts didn't like the Pulitzer PrizeCommittee and said so in the above book.So Brother Alpha was encouraged to readCharles M. Andrews his The Coloial Periodof Aller-ican History, the 1935 Prize Award.This volume is called TILhe Settlevients andreads entertainingly. What a Trained His-torian would say about the footnotes BrotherAlpha hopes he never hears.

New Swim CoachesAnnounced by JopeJohn Jarosh And Bill Champion

Will Guide SwimmersThis Season

John J. Jarosh, Technology, '30,and William J. Champion, Yale, '33,were introduced as the nlew swim-minlg coaches at an informal dinneron Wednesday evening sponsored bythe Tech Swimming Club, and held inthe Silver Room of Walker. Theguest speaker of the evening wasAir. Ralph T. Jope, secretary of theAdvisory Council on Athletics.

Jarosh, new head coach, was oneof the stars on the Technology swim-ming team several years back, andhas the enviable record of havingearned three straight '"T" 's. Havingbeen a student at the Institute, he hasa clearer insight on the problems ofroutine curriculum and the difficultiesconfronting members of the team.His experiences should prove a valua-ble asset in planning the team's ac-tivities.

Assisting Jarosh will be BillChampion swimming star in thebreast stroke and backstroke events;so his experience and enthusiasmshould be a determining factor inhelping to produce a winning team.

On Monday, October 14th, the na-tors will hold all open mass meetingin Room 5-330 at 5 o'clock. Motionpictures will be shown and the coachespresented to new men. Amy varsityor freshmen candidates coming outfor swimming are invited to be onhand as some very important in-formation regarding transportationto the University Club pool will beissued at the time.

A. E. E;* Is H~oldingMembership Drive

Extension Of Activities ForNext Year Planned By'

Glider Group

Having concluded a successful sea-son last year, and looking forward toa still better one this year, the A.E.S.is conducting a membership drive toreplace officers lost by graduation.Their location in the main lobby mayeasily be recognized by the glideralongside.

Inasmuch as the drive closes Mon-day the club urges that all interestedpersons stop by and have their in-quiries answered. Their motto is"Join the A.E.S. and learn to fly byflying."

More ActivitiesThe club plans to havre more ex-

tensive activities this year than last.Last winter, since the Franklin gliderwras being recovered, training tripswere necessarily hampered. Despitethis difficulty, however, over a thou-,

.sand flights were made in the fewtraining trips that were carried out.

In the early part of June, soonafter school was out, a number ofmembers went to Concord, N. H.,where they had an entire airport attheir disposal daily for a week. Thetrip was taken in order to train forthe Nrational Soaring Contest at El-mira, N'. Y. Weather conditions beingfine, ample flying: was done under thecompetent instruction of Ben Baden-och.

Because of thris training, the A.E.S.was quite successful at the Elmiratcontest the first part of July. Thoughno trophies we-re brought back, fiveSoaring Certificates were the rel-dsof various N members. Despite but einhours of available gliding weather atElmira the A.E.S. had every possiblebit of flying and even an airplane towin addition.

EquipmrentThe equipment of the AhE.Ss at

present consists of two gliders, theone seater Franklin and the two pass-enger Alferro. In addition to thisthere is Jim Kendricks's projected sail-plane, which may be built in the nearfuture. If there are sufficient newmembers added this year a newFranklin will doubtless be added tothe equipment. With three glidersthere will be no less than three thou-sand flights. Aside from gliders therehas been some sentiment expressedthat a winch should be built. Thiswould mean that gliding could be done

Ladder Type Tournament Used

The annual Faculty-Graduate Bump-ing tournament, the purpose of whichis to select five players to representthe M.l.T. Faculty-Graduate team inthe class "C" interclub matches, hasstarted again this Fall. The presentorder of names on a board was chosenat random from the sign-ups, anid aman may advance his position bychallenging and defeating any manabove him. Dihe challenge matchesare to be the best three out of fiv~egames.

The league matches will beginabout the first week of December.After the first match a man maychallenge only within the next fivepositions abo-ve him that is up to andincluding mumnber five position. Thefirst four positions may be challengedonly by the man in the number fiveposition or by each other. This isto prevent the probable leagueplayers from having to play too manychallenge matches, and it is hopedthat by that time the relative abili-ties of the various players will befairly well determined.

Any student studying for an ad-vanced degree, or any graduate ofother colleges, as well as all membersof the Institute staff may enter thistournament by giving their nanmes toMr. Moulder in the squash office.

Sign-up sheets for freshman andJunior Varsity squash, and for theEmerson -Cup and Commuter's tourna-ments are now posted on the squashbulletin board.

Added This Summer

Ninety feet of concrete walk havebeen added to the Edmund Dana Bar-bour Field House during the summer,a recent investigation by The Techrevealed. The wzalk is welcomed by theusers of the Track House who are nowno longer obliged to become baptizedwith rnud in seeking to enter thebuilding.

The Barbour Field House was conl-structed during the summer of 1934,and opened last fall, replacing atwenty-year old temporary w oodenframe structure. Entirely devoid of-windows, since each room is illuminat-ed by its gown skylight, the newestInstitute building is 183 feet long, 53feet wide and one story high. The roofrests on steel reinforced supports.

Inside,- the building is finished inyellow glazed tile to a height of sevenfeet and is capped by a stucco tilewall to the ceiling; the floor is of re-inforced concrete. Designed with aroom for coaches and team managers,a rubbing room, and showers, thebuilding also contains two largerooms for visiting teams with indi-vridual services anld showers. TheDana Field House is provided withthe best of sanitary facilities.

Drawn Up By EngineeringCouncil Provides For

Student Quizzing

Plan

Co-operative tests in English andMathematics which all freshmen arerequired to take Monday, October 14,and Monday, October 21, are part ofa plan for development of men in theengineering profession.

Devised by the Engineers' Councilfor Professional Development, theplan involves occupational guidancefor undergraduate engineers andyoung practicing engineers. Separatecommittees are working ol each offour phases of the problem of better-ing the engineering profession.

The Committee on Student Selectionand Guidance devised the Co-operativeTests with the hope of predeterminingwhether or not a student entering anengineering school has scientific apti-tude. If the tests prove successful inthe course of a number of years, theCommittee hopes to be able to Judgeentrance applications by the tests.

The Committee on EngineeringSchool designate those schools whichhave adequate equipment and in-structing staff to properly train anengineer. President Compton is thechairman of this Committee.

The Committee on ProfessionalTraining determines a complete pro-gram of study "to insure to the in-dividual a preparation which will en-able him to meet fully the require-ments set forth in the minimum defi-nition of an engineer."

The Committee on ProfessionalRecognition is at present working ona suggested reading list for younggraduates of engineering schools. Thepurpose of this committee is to de-velop reading habits in the young en-gineer, to broaden his education andto aid him in his struggle to get ajob.

The Tech Inquires of the February 26issue. It asked the follow ing question:"The Main Library closes every dayat 6 o'clock, on Saturday at 4, andremains closed all day Sunday. rnyour opinion is this justified by theargument that only a few studentswould use it after such times."

A representative opinion follows:"By nature a library is a repository

of knowledge, any limitation of hoursis contradictory to the fundamentalidea of making this knowledge uni-versal. A locked library, if onlyhandicapping a few students, is de-feating its own reason for being.

(J. Charles Kittel, '08)Professor W. N. Seaver, the Librar-

ian in an open forum letter publishedon March 5 comments on this inquiry.

"Since the'Library exists to servestudents as quite as much as facultyneeds, student opinion in regard to theservice rendered is important, and allsuggestions and criticisms are w el-comed by the Librarian and staff."

In this letter, he states that an ad-ditional expense involving the pay oftwo library assistants and an elevatoroperator amounting to $550 would beneeded.

Coach Hedlund is hopeful that oneof his three vets, Doug Chalmers,Eugene Cooper, and Tommy Oakessvill capture the race.

In addition JeromeKittel, frosh captain last year, andNestor Sabi, a newcomer to crosscountry this year; will face the start-ing gun.

in recounting the degradation of theHebrew race to the rank of mereslaves.

Summarizing the case of civiliza-tion against Germany, he laid at itsdoor the expulsion of 5 Nobel Prizewinners, 10,000 doctors, lawyers, andintellectuals, 12,000 professors 90,000Jews, and the sending of unnumberedthousands of Jews to the concentra-tion camps-all of which the Nazisproudly proclaim as the victory of"brawn over brains." Julius Streic-her, prominent Jew-baiter, he quotedas having said: "When I hear theword 'culture' my hand automaticallygoes to my revolver."

Mr. Villard asserted that Hitler'sMinister of Education was six yearsago declared'by six doctors to be in-

sane and consequently dismissed fromhis teacher's job.

Citing the "unity of the Germanpeople" and the re-establishment ofyouth's faith as the only concreteachievements of the brown-shirtregime, he demanded: "Is it right tounite people for bad causes ? Is itright to inspire youth with falseideals ?"

At the meeting, the opportunitywas given those present to join theTech Union by paying the member-ship fee of fifty cents. The adoptionof a membership fee is an innovationthis year, designed to cover the ex-penses of meetings.

The meeting was presided over byClaxon Munro, Jr., '36, who also in-troduced the speaker.

bitter enemy, Mr. Villard asserted"Germany has struck hands with Po-land too in order to take the Ukrainefrom the Soviet Union." A possibleJapanese-German agreement was alsosuggested, he maintained, in that mar-riage of Germans with any race otherthan the Japanese is forbidden.

In describing the atrocious treat-ment of the Jews, whom he charac-terized as the "scapegoats" of theHitler movement, the grandson ofWilliam Lloyd Garrison, himself anoutstanding liberal, admitted, "I rackmy brains in vain to find any evidenceto make the Jew the vicious enemnyof the state, or of culture, that the

tug-of-war teams to turn out forpractice without delay.

John B. Pitkin, '37, manager ofField Day, spoke briefly on the neces-sity of getting started immediatelyand supporting the teams.

Sign-UpsAt the close of the meeting, those

desiring to sign up for any of theField Day sports were given the op-portunity to do so. While this doesnot in any way mean that candidateswill be limited to those who did signup, the lists are expected to providethe nucleus of a group who will beparticularly active in their sport.

CommutersIt was announced that since tug-

of-war practice will be held from 6:00

to 5:45 o'clock in the afternoon, it willbe possible for commuters to attendthe practices and still have sufficienttime to catch their trains.

There were about 25 men whosigned up for tug-of-war, and a sur-vey of the list showed that theiraverage weights would run about 175pounds. This weight will, of course,be a great advantage in the pull, andHugh T. Smith, the tug-of-war coach,is counting on using it to its fullestpossibilities.

Proportionately smaller numbers otmen signed up fro relay and football.Donald Wier announced that he ex-pected to have the support of theentire Sophomore heavy crew in 'build-ing up an efficient tug-of-war team.
