In previous years, the Tea Dancehas usually preceeded the Prom butthis year it will serve as sort of aclimax to that affair. As the Promdoes not have its finale until 4 o'clockon Friday, those who attended willhave a short while to rest before con-tinuing their dancing at the Corpora-tion reception.

Prom RedenpAtionCampcaign To Be

Continued TodayOver 60 Juniors Redeem Signups

for Prom in First Dayof Campaign

At the close of the first day of theredemption campaign over 60 sign-ups for the Junior Prom had beenredeemed. This is an unusually largenumber considering that the first daywas reserved exclusively for Juniors.

In addition to the large number ofredemptions many tickets were soldto those who not previously signifiedtheir intention of attending this year'schief social function. It is expectedthat a capacity crowd will be in at-tendence at the Prom if the first dayof the redemption campaign is anyindication of the number exceptingto attend.

Due to the great influx of Juniors,the Committee wishes to advise thattable reservations should be made assoon as possible, if good accommoda-tions are desired. The greater partof the reservations have already beentaken by Juniors but there are stillsome -ood tables remaining, for thosein other classes. Redemption will becontinued for all classes today andtomorrow morning and also Mondayand Tuesday of next week.

Itastitute Radioalation ReceivesEastern Messages

Amy Communications RelayedFrom Phillipines Copied

at Round Hill

Transmission and reception of mes-sages relayed from the Phillipines isone of the many services that theInstitute's Experimental Radio Sta-tion on the estate of Coloned E. H. R.Greene at Round Hill, Massachusetts,is performing almost every day. Thisservice has been in use for the lastfew months.

Members of the United States Armyin the Phillipines maintain a shortwave radio station independent of thegovernment stations and thereby pro-vide for all interested a quick meansof communication to the UnitedStates. Personal messages are~handled gratis and daily communica-tion is maintained. The route of these;messages is KIRC, Cavite, PhillipineIslands,-W6EEO, Williams, Cali-fornia, W9EGU, Henning, Min-nesota,-WI XV, Round Hill, Massa-chusetts. The schedules are so ar-ranged th-t messages filed in thePhillipines on the first of the month,for example, fire delivered by theInstitute's station on the secondW1XV as the eastern terminalhandles all the traffic for the Atlanticseaboard states. This one or twoday service is a great saving in timewhen contrasted with the twfentx3-three day mail service.

If messages are urgent, as is some-times the case, they are telephoned tothe addressee or given to an amateurradio station in the city of destination.In cases of messages for the victoryof Boston they are given to WIXMat the Institute during the regulardaily communication period. Other-wise they are forwarded by mail. Thedistances covered in one day by theseradiograms is about 12,000 miles.

Are Discussed

and

eAppearing for the first time underthe names of the new Managing

eBoard, Tech Engineering News pre-c sents its February issue, which will

be on sale Monday and Tuesday oftnext week.

This issue is devoted to railroadd engineering and late developments ino railroad equipment. An interesting

discussion of railroad transportationIlis given in an article "Modern Freight-Transportation," an inquiry into theb methods of freight handling with ae detailed discussion of a newly devel-

oped car retarder. "Automatic TrainControl," by Professor J. B. Babcock'10, is a summary of the results ofrecent research on the automatic con-trol of trains. The pictorial section,with its accompanying article, 'MotivePower Development," contains photo-graphs and descriptions of steam, oil-electric, and gas-electric locomotives.

An article of general interest"Ideas of an Inventor" by GeorgesClaude, who recently spoke at theInstitute, is a discussion of some ofthe problems confronting an inven-tor, and of the simplicity with whichmany of them are solved.

IBERAL CLUB TO: HEAR PROF. DAVIS

Will Speak Today on Education-- Second Meeting Monday

Professor Tenney L. Davis of theChemistry Department will addressthe first meeting of the Liberal Clubtoday in Room 4-370 at 4 o'clock. Thesubject is "The Scientific Access To aLiberal Education." Professor Davisis very well qualified to speak on thissubject, having written many paperson liberal as well as scientific topics.He has written many papers on Logic

!and on "The History of Science."After Professor Davis' lecture, a'

business meeting will be held at whichmany important questions 'will be dis-cussed. Among these are the electionof a secretary and a decision whetheror not a banquet should be held at theend of the year.

The Liberal Club will hold a secondmeeting Monday in Room 10-250. Thismeeting will be in the form of a sym-posium and the subject is to be"American vs. European University tEducational Methods." The speakers Iwvill be four in number: Dr. Keyes,head of the Chemical Dept., Professor fManuel S. Vallarta of the Physic sDept., Professor Joseph W. Barker Iof the Electrical Engineering Dept..and a fourth speaker to take Presi- 1dent Stratton's place. The latter con- csented to speak, but received a suddencall to Washington and will probably faddress a future meeting on this sub- lject. t

With the sending out of student andAlumni announcements during this

land last week, final steps have beentaken in arranging advance ticket

Isales for the performances of "A TechRiot" at John Hancock Hall, St.James and Clarendon Streets, onMarch 1 and 2. Tickets for both even-ings will be placed on sale at the In-stitute Monday, February 26, at $1.50and $1.00.

Rehearsals of both cast and chorushave been going on during the pastweek with satisfactory results. Underthe direction of Coach LangdonMatthews, a series of steps have beenworked out for the opening and clos-ing numbers of each act. With theI present rate of development, thechorus gives promise of being the

I best Tech Show ever had. The showis particularly fortunate this year {in being able to use popular numbersfrom some of the recent shows forits dances. The program calls for"Let's Do It" (Paris) as an openingnumber and "Crazy Rhythm" (Here'sHowe) as a finale. Other numbers in-cluded are: "Picking Cotton" (Scan-dais), "'Doin' the New Low Down"(Blackbirds,) "Life as a Twosome"

} (Americana,) "Makin' Whoopee"(Whoopee,) "Digga Digga Doo"I(Blackbirds,) "Doin' the Raccoon,""Chloe,' and "Rainbow 'Round myShoulder." Daniel Silverman G. Sam-uel II. Evans G. and Horace B. Preble1'° are taking prominent parts in thesinging.

Many well-known students will be Ffound in the cast, including several |activity heads and the president of theSenior class, all of whom are taking parts in "Shear Murder" by Hunter,Rouse '29. This action of this skit iconcerns the trial of one of Walker's Ipopular secretaries for the murder of!one of Technology's most noted fcampus characters. The members of ithe Dramashop, directed by Dean M. |Fuller, will present a skit entitled "Action." In this case, the title isnot a misnomer. "Bon Voyage" byJerome B. Geisman '29, the first skit !on the program is leading the rest in @perfection. j l The management of the Show re- Iquests all those who plan to attendthe performances on either March 1Ior 2 to send their applications to theShow office as soon as possible in aorder that seats may be assigned.

About this time there also arrives the gentle suggestions byboth the hopeless and the disillusioned that honoraries are need-less and a curse to student welfare. Other colleges have con-ducted campaigns against the general prolificness of such frater-n~ities, with more or less success; it was once tried here, with totalfailure as the result. Buat that is not our object at t-his waiting.For to be sure no little good comes from these honoraries, and not,a little better is the Institute for having them; but who can sayl-definitely that this good is not outweighed by their faults?

No, they are here, and probably here to stay for a long time,blossoming forth each Spring in a new delegation, gorgeous intheir vesty display. They may look boastful, and they may oftenappear as though they would snap the chains with the slightest

1 1N1IGHT FOOTBALL ISI Pa-REEDCT-ED FOR) 1929

Noicre Diame is E~xpectesd to Meet !Drake in Glare ofd Calciu ml

Nliezit football will com-e into na-|tional pi-oniinence in 1929 accoroding- to an al ticle ill the M,,_arch COLLEGEHUMOR. Several schools havre played]football at night in the past as an ex-Iperiment, and so satisfavctory wererIthe results that it is believed that night football has come to stay.!

At least it wuill be brought into the 'national spotlight next November wnlien Coach Knute X. Rock~ne's Notr-Dame eleven meets Coach 0. AI. Soil-em's Drakse University teamn at Sol-dier's Field Chica-zo, which came into|prominence a while ago as the scene iof the D~empsey-Tunney fight.|

It whill be Chicago's first night franie of football. As it is now plannedithere will be brilliant pyrotechnics!and spectacular devices never before Ithought of in connection with a grid-iT on contest. The team on defense?wvill face a niew problem in trying tosolve the mysteries of the hidden ball'plays at night.

It is hard enough for the playerson a football team to follow the ballin bright daylight so with this extraattraction Chicago is expected to turrout to the tune of one hundred thou-sand spectators to view this battle.Since two other Mi2zSouri Valley con-ference schools are considering noc-turnal games for -the 1929 season,in all probability it won't be long be-fore night football becomes popularamong the sporting people.

There is an unusual exhibit ofFreights and measures beinz displayedat the Naval Museum until June. Sev-eral large cases have been filled with%veights and measures of ancienttimes, from the era when Egypt wasthe most powerful country of theworld down to recent years. Thesource of the exhibit is an extensivecollection belonging- to Edward ClarkStreeter, and it is supplemented by aset of explanatory notes.

Twelve cases of weights are dis-played. The first one is filled withthose which date back to the firstdynasty in Egypt (3400 B.C.) Thegeometrical precision of these instru-ments is quite remarkable, consider-inT the date at which they were made.M~ost of these are of stone, althoughsome of a later date are bronze.

Case two contains some Greekwreights which are mostly of lead andare therefore corroded so much thatthey can no longer be used with anydeczree of accuracy. They are moldedin the forms of different animals, andsome are cut down through the middleto represent the half-weights. Someinterestin- bronze weights of Romeare in case four. They are the barrel-shaped weights which were at onetime used throughout the knownworld.

Because of a decree that "weightsshould be cast of glass which carsnotalter by increase or decrease," theArabic Weights are made of this ma-terial. The Byzantine weights in thesame case are worthy of a place ofhonor in an art museum, for they arebeautifully carved stone.

In the fifth case are a series ofancient weights o f the cities of

Easly WinsProbably the most sensational event

of the last meet was Easly's fastwork on the Crimson matman. Inthe unbelievable time of one minuteand twenty-two seconds, Easly pinnedhis man to the mat. Having been outonly a nonth, his victory came asa surprise, and much excitement pre-vails as to what he will do tonightin the Brown Gymnasium. It wasthis sensational fall that endangeredthe Crimson score, later to be lost,when Gordon after an exciting boutNvas pinned by a much heavier man.

'Gordon, by getting the first timeadvantage, showed his abilities, andit is hoped that he will be able to pinhis opponent tonight.

Fresh Confident of WinningStill more confident of victory is

the yearling squad, as they have lostljust one meet this year. Axford,Captain Vassolotti, and Ward are stillundefeated, and they expect easyvictory over the Bear frosh. On the iyearling squad are two new members,Dunleavy, and Pratt, who have hadthe experience of one meet. Dunleavylost his match to the Andover captain,'but is expected to make a good show-ing tonight, as he has shown muchimprovement in practice. Pratt, wholost his match in the last few secondsof the ten minute period, has shownpossibilities, which should develophim into a powerful wrestler.

This week is certainly a busy onein sports at the Tnstitupte, and nearlyevery active sport has a contest ofsome kind scheduled for Friday orSaturday. The only great exceptionis the basketball team, which findsitself with a vacant weekend on itshands due to a last minute cancella-tion of the game with ProvidenceCollege. The freshmen, however, arestill scheduled to play Tabor Academyat Marion, Mass.

The swimming and hockey teamsare both set for a few days of activity,traveling many miles and performingtwice in as many days. The tank-men will spend the night in NewYork where they will meet the swim-mers from Columbia. On Saturdaythey will go up the river to WestPoint to be the guests of the Armyin the second meet of the week.

There is a great deal of interestmanifested at this time in the ancientsport of Knighits and courtiers andthe men who have become sufficientlyproficient in the art to hold al position-on the regular team have a fineschedule ahead of them. Startingthis week, the season lasts until March16, and includes such teams as Har-vard, Dartmouth, Bowdoin, and Bos-ton University.

The track men have some speedkings entered in the Newv EnglandIndoor Championships on Saturdayafternoon. It would be well worththe effort to take a trip to the Arenaand see these men perform. It willbe especially interesting to see howthe Engineers stand among the tracktalent of the New England colleges.The freshmen are allowed to enter,and they have some men who shouldsubrlprise the sporting world with their

Believe Scholarship Is GoodIndication of Probable

Success in Ue

Sometime ago there appeared inthe magazine Printers Ink an articleentitled "Leaders or Just Scholars."This is an interesting topic of itselfand futhermore opens up lines ofthought which are interesting to allexecutives who have the responsibilityof creating and recruiting commercialorganizations.

In general, I am inclined to theview that scholarship rating wouldbe the best indication of probablesuccess in after life if the conditionof choice were to be limited to onlyone single quality. However, evenin this I would say that it wouldbe unwise to carry the qualificationto the ultimate, subordinating an ab-solute first standing to a require-ment of rating somewhere within thefirst quarter of the class.

Going beyond this first statementit is necessary to consider that practi-cally every modern organization ofany size has subdivisions of its ac-tivities for which men of specializedqualities, both of natural endowmentand artificial training, are best adap-ted. In the activities for instance inwhich includes his background in asuch as research or design engineer-ing, scholarship is of itself likely tobe a fuller indication of future satis-factory performance, while in com-mercial or executive lines of activitythe indication of scholarship, whileimportant, at least within the limita-tions above mentioned, may be con-siderably modified or in fact, out-weighed by the individual character-istics.

For these reasons, in undertakingthe recruiting for our organizationamong the graduath 'students ofapproved institutions, we endeavor toget as full a picture of the student'scharacteristics as possible, the stu-dent himself furnishing informationwilich includes his background in ageneral -way; his scholastic trainingboth preparatory and university; hisextra scholastic interests during thisperiod; in what feature of scholasticwork befound most enjoyment; whatproportion of schooling expenses ifany was self-earned; and what thegraduate looked forward to as his pre-ferred line of life work.

At the same time a rating is re-quested from the faculty representa-tive giving the standing of the stu-dent according to the quErter divisionof the class, both as to scholarshipand to personality. with a requestforjudgment on the general class of fu-ture work for which the student seemsto be best qualified.

In addition, our company represen-tative interviewing the students re-cords his impressions of the studenturder the ezeneral headinz of physi-cal qualities, general intelligence,leadership, personality qualificationsand general desirability to the com-pa-nv

The entire picture thus made up ist'hen used, not only as a basis for of-

fering employment but also in thecase of acceptance as the basis ofpicking out the branch of the com-pany's activity in which the youngman will start his work.

The results of this system in futuresatisfactory development justify thepains taken in these preliminary,studies.

Five hundred numbers of the Har-vard Lampoon, Harvard's comic week-ly, were destroyed last Monday-night, when the office of the HarvardLampoon was forcibly entered. Presi-dent A. C. Churchill of the HarvardLampoon Company, was so certainthat the culprits were the officers ofthe Crimson, Harvard's daily paper,that be sent a bill to them of $75.00to defray the cost of the missingcopies. However, on the denial oany implication in the deed by theCrimson's men, he reported the theftand fire to the Cambridge Police.

Twenty-Five Mi~enA rrange To TakeI Up Social W~ork

Studentss Show 'Willlingness to doVolunteer Welfare WvErk

ArBound Boston

Mr. W. Dunmcan Russell, director ofboy's activities of the CommunityService, Boston, was said to be pleasedwith the -way the students of the In-stitute respdonded to the plea forvoluntary boy's work. Of tihe twenty-five students who made appointmentsto see him every one agreed to dosome sort of work. Six are to doBoy Scout work, three will bewrestling instructors, three will takeboy's clubs, two will teach modelboxing classes, five will be leaders ofaircraft; building, three are to bebasketbair coachels, one w~vill teachfencing, one hiking, and one soccer.

Mr. Russell stressed the point that,the students who do this work get asmuch from it as the boys who receivethe benefit of their services. The,leader learns how to control boys.This knowledge will help him laterin life when he is in charge of men.Perhaps the most important ad--vantage according to Mdr. Russell, isthat the student gets to see the otherside of life. He believes that the fact,that most men never know what ison the other side of the fence reallyconstitutes a social problem and thisis one way it can be solved. Be'sidethis the Institute also makes a goodname for itself.

John B. Hutchins '31, in charge ofboy's work of the T. C. A., states

I that there are many similar positionsopen for any students who may be in-terested in this kind of work.
