NO ACTION TAKENON EASTMAN GIFT

Suggest Erection of New DormsAnd Funds For Graduate

Research Work

I

No action has been taken, or will betaken this terim, on the gift of fourand a half million dollars from GeorgeEastman which was announced recent-ly. Because of the nearness of theterin's close, and of tie absence of thePresident. andl because tie announce-ment of the gift was made so recentlythat there has not ben sufficient tinmeto consider the mnatter, it was decidedbest to postpone any attempt to decideas to the dispo.sal of the money.

Many plans-; have been suggested forthe disposai o{ the money. Dormitoriesare mentioned mnore frequently and bynmore people than!! anything else. In-creased facilities for research in Chemn-istry and Phyvsics are considered bymany to be necessary, and ChemicalEngineering research also asks for apart of the funds.

Waiting for Dr. StrattonA pension fund for retired Faculty

menibers has been suggested, so hasalso a fund to increase the salaries ofacti-ve inember.,. Athletics are in needof further subsidies and more money isneeded for graduate study and researchfacilitics.

As soon as Dr. Stratton returns fromWashingzton. plans for the disposal ofthe nioney will be considered. but adefifite disposltion .of tile whole w\villnot lbC' decided on for somiie timle.

ALL MEN IN ACTIVITIES

Preferential System of VotingIs Found To Be Very

Satisfactory

Wednesday's closely-contested dlection for five positions on the JuniorProm Committee resulted in the elec-tion of the foliowing men' D. A. Shetard, E. F. Kniight, MN1. M. Greer, A. S.Brookes, and K. S. Lord. D. A. Shep-ard received the largest number ovotes and tie others in tile above or-der. There will be a mneeting of the Ju-nior Prom Committee at 5 today at 526Beacon Street.

Shepard was president of the classin hiis Sbophomort year, and now repre-sents the (_lass of 1926 on the InstituteCommittee. He is affiliated with theMtusical Clulbs, and i-s head of the Re-ligious Service Department of the T.C. A.

E. F. Knight is a member of theDorin Dance Committee. His athleticactivities include track, and member-ship on last year's Sophonmore base-ball teamn. Greer was president of theClass of 1926 two years ago. He iscaptain and stroke of the 150 poundcrew. Brookes is manager oi the box-ing teans, and formerly was Sophomorecrew manager. Lord has held variouspositions in the class, and is managerof swnmming. Last year he 'was assis-tant crew manager.

_!.. 48 Percent VoteThe number of nien voting wvas 337,

or 48 percent of the total membershipof the class. This percentage is con-siderably less than that of the freshmenin their elections recently, but generalclass election-s always bring out morevotes than Prom Comnmtt ee elections,due, probably, to the feeling that thelatter is not so important. Member-ship on the Prom Committee, however,is one greatest social honors which car.be obtained throughout the four yearsin college.

C. R. MNuhlenterg, Chairman of theElections Committee, states that thepreferential system worked niuch bet-ter than in the freshmen elections, andfewer votes were thrown out on ac-cotint of ignorance of the voting regu-lations. The counting of the ballotstook considerably less time. Gn the

TECH SHOW 1925Management Engages Prominent

Producer to SuperviseEntire Show

STAGED ZIEGFELD FOLLIES

Cast, Chorus, and Ballet Will BeSelected by Coach At First

Assembly Jan. 10

-Ned Wayburn, recognized as Amer-ica's foremost producer of musicalcoiedies and revues, has been engagedto coach and produce Tech Show 1925.He will select the cast, chorus, andballet personally on January 10, thedate -,et for the first assembly of allcandidates for the shov.

Mfr. Way3burn has achieved interna-tional fame for his genius and stage-craft in the production oi scores o'successful professional shows. Pre-vious to his founding of the "NedWavburn's Training School for theStage," he produced the first musicalplays of George M. Cohan and GeorgeAde, and was engaged by Oscar Har-ruerstein as producing stage director,at which time he introduced the veryfirst "girl" acts to the professionalstage. Following his later engagementa~ stage director for Klaw and Erlanger. he entered the vaudeville produeing field and staged over 100 success-ful headliue acts and musical comedyattraclions.

Engaged By ShubertsAfter the establishment of hi~, train

ing school, he'was engaged by Lee andJ. J. Shubert, Lew Fields, and alsoAlbert de Courville, famous Englishmianager, for the production of hume:rous musical successes in both thiscountry and abroad. He opened officesin London to stage his own musicalproductions with American. French andEngil)sh stars but was obliged to stopproductions there when war -,as de-clared.

In 1915 he accepted the engagementas Producer and General Stage Direc-tor for Florenz Ziegfeld. Fils genius inthe subsequent production of so manyisuccessful editions of the "Ziegfeld Foi-lies" has served to make the name ofN ed \V-avNburn known throughout thecountry, and no Follie-s would be com-plete wvithout tie phrase "staged byNed W\aylburn."

DECISION PASSEDWITH ONLY THREE

YEAR WILL END EARLIER

Will Increase the Number of

Subjects From 5.2 to5.8 Per Term

Two seinesters a year instead ofthree will be the rule at Technology,according to the decision of the Fac-ulty, at its regular meeting Wednes-tle.>. Seventy-five Faculty membersout of 120 present favored the change.The ruling goes into effect next year.

The decision was made after an af-ternoon of discu-sion pro and con, withpartisnllis of both sides arguing strong-Iv as to the relative merits of the twosides. A", a six-tenths vote of thosepresent is ~ecdcd to change a Facultyruling. uiiinder which head the questionwai;s included. the motion was passed bya margin ot only three votes.

Will Start EarlierMVlany arguments were advanced for

changing to tie new calendar. In thefirst place. it had already been decidedthat the school year niust contain atleast 180 -school days, and under thepresent calendar it falls short of thatnumber by about a week and a half.It would flave been necessary, had thepresent sy-stemi been continued, to ex-tend the third terni to about the endof July. since it would have been im-practical to start earlier and begin thesecond term before Christmas.

As it is. the school year will start alittle earlier than heretofore--probablyabout the fourth week in September-and will end about ten days earlier thanit does under the present system. Va-cations will be just about the same asthose at other colleges. Examinationswill come at mid-year and in June; andno mnore than four will be scheduledfor any one course during one exami-nation period.

It wavs feared that the change wouldunduly ilcrease the number of subjectscarried simultaneously by each man;but according to a comparison made bythe Faculty between the present sched-ule and the tentative plans for the newschedule, the average numiber of sub-jects at present is 5.2 per term; andthe new; arrangement will raise it to

Considerable TroubleCaused by False Alarm

Forty employees of the Institutein the Department of Buildings andPower were called fromn their workat-4:20 yesterday afternoon when,someone turned in a fire alarni frombox 12 on the first floor of building2, the second false alarm in two-weeks. Major Albert S. Smith, Su-perintendent of Buildings character-ized the false alarm as a granimarschool trick and unbecoming ofTechnology nien. He em1nhaticallypointed out the trouble his depart-ment is caused by such pranks.vmniei the alarm is sounded, every

janitor and mechanic eniployedabout the buildings responds pre-pared for any emergency, and at thesame time the high pressure waterpumps for fire protection are start-ed.

THE TECH seems to have beentreading on somebodv's toes when itprinted the truth about Quadri's fron-tispiece in Voo Doo. The Lounger issure that no personal slams were meantwhen the review of ¥oo Doo was writ-ten. He sticks by the' reviewer, thoughand insists that the woman is cross-eyed, despite Virgil's denials. Virgilwas quite riled up yesterday. Hedropped into THE TECH newsroom totell us just what he thought. Toughluck on his part, if he is annoyed, butif he will draw peculiar looking girlswhose eyes mutually attract each other,and who are just a shade too fat, lethinm take the consequences.

The two termn system seems to havecome, definitely and finally. The Loun-ger has it on the best authority thatone of the chief motives underlyingthe change is to decrease the Faculty'swork, especially during the Christmasholidays. At least two of our fore-

]lnost professors, not to mention othersill authority, have admitted candidlythat this is one of the main reasons.Nice way to treat the poor helplessstudents' How about thinking of ourhappiness during the vacation? Howmuch more we shall enjoy our few days

meml)ers attempt to get on the J. P.Comm eittee.

When will Tech men grow up The[.ounger had a rather vague idea thatw-hen a man had reached the advancedstage of learning and intelligence need-ed to get into this 'Stute of ours, hehad ~eft behind him the childishnessof his prep school davs. This illusionhas been painfully dispelled by someone, who, in a moment of infantile play-fulness, turned in a fire alarln in Build-

ing 2. This points toward a freshmanwho has not as yet had the dignity ofTechnology instilled into his moron-like

mind. The Lounger hopes that thesight of the poor janitors frantically

running about the building amply re-rDaid this joker. Let's hope he is sat-isfied.

The Postman's Ball held recentlybrought much chagrin to the Lounger.No less than a dozen Tech men were

found stumbling the heavy fantastic

at this letter carriers' hop. They were ito be seen lounging in the salon ofMechanics Hall, walking the concourse-with reekish, odiferous, exotic damsels,and dragging feminine chewing gummachines around to the strains (and

grunts) of a blaring brass band.That men should attempt to bribe-

government officials by inveigling theirdaughters with sweet illusions and dar-ling lies is quite scandalous. That they _should expose themselves to choking, Iinsipidly sweet, and tenacious perfu-Imery wafted like zephyrs of halitosisabout the grand ball room is quite dis-gusting. That they should forsake thegods of science and engineering for amidnight revel with postal sirens isiquite incomprehensible and disappoint-ing.

You may be wondering how theLounger obtained all his inside infor-mation. He was inside. But it will_not do to say more on that point.

Part of the men present were theneophytes of a certain fraternity who ihad been sent there as part of theirinitiation horseplay. Judging fromtheir salubrious antics they might aswell have been given tickets to theeBrunswick or Copley Plaza. e-

TRY YOUR SLIPSTICK!A. F. Underwood '26

THE DIE IS CAST

N the face of widespread disapproval on the part of the studentbody, and unfavorable opinions held by many of the Faculty,

it has been definitely decided that the two-term plan will go intoeffect next Fall. That the Faculty is divided on the matter isproved by the fact that the motion was passed by only three votes.Discussion among students since the decision was muade public yes-terday morning has shown a decidedly unfavorable attitude.

The majority of the student body has opposed the two-termidea from the start, and now that opposition is augmented by asense of injustice. Aside from the fact that a report from the In-stitute Committee was read at the first Faculty Meeting at whichthe question was taken up, and a few professors held open forumsin their classes, student opinion has not been consulted. No of-ficial referendum has been taken, and nothing regarding the pro-posed arrangements under the two-term system has beeni pub-lished, so that a great deal of doublt is existent in the mind of thestudent about what he will be up against next year. In view ofthese facts it is not surprising that student opinion is aggrevied,and it remains to be seen what the student body will do in thematter.

N the Juni6r Prom. election only 48%o of the class went to theI polls and voted. In contrast the freshmen, who would bepresupposed to have a great deal less class initiative, voted 75%ostrong in their elections earlier in the fall. This is a poor com-mentary upon the development of class spirit.

"DON'T GROWL-KICK"

N views of the prevalent and widespread dissatisfaction among theundergraduates at the Institute as a result of the Faculty de-

cision to adopt the two term system, a suggestion that we followout the ideas of the President of iMiddlebury College may not beout of place. A short time ago, in an address to his students,President Moody advocated publicity for any constructive criticismsthat appear pertinent. Rumblings of discontent do no good to anvone. Rather they harm every one. Before you start telling woe-ful tales to vour immediate friends, with the probable dishearten-ing effect upon all concerned, look about you and see what othershave the same ideas. Get together and talk it over with therm ina cool and sensible manner. If you then decide that the troubleis worthy of note by the entire student body, come out good andstrong behind your arguments. Don't go off half cocked. It doesno good to tell your room mate about it, that will not hell). Tellevery one about it after you have had time to thoroughly con-sider the pros and cons.

Instead of growling to yourself, kick and kick hard! It is ofcourse difficult to please both the Faculty and the undergraduatesat the same time. We have now heard their version-let's hearsomething from the other side. Stop your crabbing and pettyknocking. It is just a waste of valuable time and effort. Give asubject a bit of serious thought before you talk about it. If itis worth worrying about, it is worth submitting to the studentsat large. If after a little thinking, it seems too trivial to bring be-fore the public, forget about it. If it still seems important, comethrough with some really worth while ideas.

Remember that destructive criticism never did any one anygood, but that without constructive criticism we would still be inthe Dark Ages. Don't be afraid to kick and then if you havesomething worthy of knocking, be sure you are right and goahead. Think it over; get a good line of arguments, and then hopto it. "Don't growl-kick!"

Ithe start and Bailey sent an easy oneat Richards which slipped past his out-stretched stick after only 15 secondsof play.

Not to be outdone by this last Har-vard display of offensive power, Moul-ton made a long shot from scrimmageat rink center which floated past Reidthe bewildered Harvard substitute goalbefore he knew what was happening.Then just to show that the first shotwas not a mistake Moulton put anotherone through. The Tech backers wentwild for the team showed a lot ofscrap. It was Harvard's turn to makea goal and Austin again showed hisstuff by placing another one in the net.Then Morton racked another one upfor Technology, the last goal of thehectic evening was made by Bailey un-assisted.

In Last Third

Against the fast traveling Harvardforwards the Technology pucksterswent down fighting in a lively game atthe Arena last night, 8 goals to 3. Al-though the Cardinal and Gray put upa wonderful scrap in the first periodwhen they held the Crimson stick-handlers to one goal, they could notkeep up the fast pace and Harvard putacross 4 niore goals in the second pe-riod with Technology still scoreless.In the third period the Beavers start-ed to score when Moulton scored two

in quick succession, another followinglater in the period off Morton's stick.

At the start of the game everythingpointed to a fast and furious contestfor both teams brought the puck dan-

gerouslv close to their opponent's goaltime and time again on brilliant dashesdown the ice by the forwards. Onone of these 6cintillating plays, Har-vard got its first goal when the fast-skating Austin received a pass fromPratt near the Technology goal and

by a bit of quick stickwork shot thepuck past Richards. The Beaver de-fense -was -working admirably fronithe first and many plays6 started bV theHarvard varsity wvere broken up by theclever stickwork of Berkeley, and Zu-

brinski before they got too dangerous.Team Went Fine at First

Newell, the varsity goal guard of theCrimson had a hot time for a while

when the combination of Randall,Niles and Crandall brought the rubberdown to the Harvard end of the rink.However, try as they might severalbeautiful shots were killed in front ofthe net. Receiving the puck on de-fence near the end of the half Berke-

ley 1)rought the puck down with somnefast skating and stick handling to scor-ing distance his shot was blocked bvNewell thus stop)ping the best chanceof the first half to score.

Every manl on the Beaver sextetplayed his old head off at the start ofthe game. As Flint Taylor said at halftime. "the team wa-s going excellentlyand holding Harvard to an even break."Conting out on the ice at the beginningof the secon,-1 period the men showedthe effects of the gruelling pace thatthey had set and were not going atsuch a high pace as they had startedwith and the Harvard attack proved

irrestible.Austin Scores Again

Again Austin coming out of a scrinm-inage at the Engineer end of the ice

put a hot one past Richards in oneinuinite and 45 seconds from the hegin-ning of the period. Finding themselves

two goals l)ehind the Beaver puckchasers made several glorious attemptsto score that proved futile against thegoal-guarding of Cumminiigs who hadtaken the place of Newell. The Har-

vard goal tenders were in distinct Con-trast to Richard- the Technology goal-

ie who. plaving his first varsity ganie,was a bit nervous and not at all sure of

what to do when the scrimmage cameclose to the goal. Several shots that

were easily stoppable got past hiniwvhen a itarvard forward came quickly

towards hhlln and sent a straight shotat him.

Burgess Scores TwiceThroughout the garne the entire as-

pect of the fray was entirely differentfronm last year's game as the team pre-sented an attack that had to be reck-oned with by the Crimson skaters. Lastvear the Cardinal and Gray hardlv tookthe puck past the center of the ice inany, kind of attack. preferring to standback of the center line and let the Har-vard forwards peg away at Dent Mas-sey in goal. An entirelv different storv

can be told today for never did theteam let down in trying to push backthe nien from up the Charles.

And they certainlx went at it hard.Every timec a Harvard and a Technol-ogy skater collided it was always theCrinmson jersey that wiped the ice chipsfrom the sturface of the ice. This sit-

nation was positively ludicrous at timesfor the result was alvavs the same andthe hard fightingz Engfneers made the

Harvard puckchasers look like begin-ners on sk-ates. Despite all this bodycheckinq Harvard could not be deniedand before the end of the second pe-riod two mnore goals had been scored

With a fighit that threatened to win right up to the final event.the frosh went down to defeat before a finely balanced Sophomoreteam, by the close score of 29-25. The Juniors were third with 14points, the Seniors last with a mere four points. These four pointswere due to the effort of two men. The placing of Kerns '26 in thebreast stroke was the deciding factor in the Sophomore victory,for if the frosh had been able to win this second place they wouldhave had enough points to win the meet. An excellent caliber of

men were entered in the meet as can lie seen by the fact that twoInstitute records were broken, and a new rcord in the 100 yardsbackstroke was established. The first record to be broken was the

50 yard dash record. This record was broken Wednesday afternoonin the trial heats of the 50, when Grover, captain of the freshmantl- II . -t"ncf r] -II+ I L s- ̂ -:__ -d C_ .

teamll, tsUstet Di: lll e in tle tastrecord being 26 1-5 seconds.

Ihm ediately after the resumingof hostilities today, another record

was broken in the relav race. Thisrecord was broken by the freshmanteam, due again to the fine work ofGrover, their captain. This race was so

close that the judges had to go in closeconference in order to decide w-hetrerit was Ralph Johnson's or Grover'shand that touched the end of the tankfirst. After a short time it was an-nounced that the freshman had wonand had broken the freshman record.The deciding factor in this race wasthe fact that John.son in coming up thepool about three feet in front of Gro-ver ran too close to the Junior swm:-mer and lost a number of feet.At the word of go, Armstrong jumped

timge of 2 5-8 seconds, tle; form~er

t - _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~into the lead which fie held right up tothe end of his 50 ysards, This lead wasincreased sliglhtly by Hinlrod, but lostagain oln the third lap. The last lapwas the aforementioned beautiful fightbetween Johnson and Grover. The Ju-riors were third in this event, the froshsecond team coming in fourth.

The next event oln the program wasthe diving contest in which one nan

from the three lowver classes was en-tered. The three men were called up-on to (lo four regular dives; the run-

ning front dive, back dive, the jack andthe back jack. They swere then givenfour options. The options brought outsonie ol the prettiest diving ot the af-ternoon, especially the work of 'Woods,representing tile Juniors. His b ackc

JiCk witlh a somersault was a beautyand brought applause from the snmail

group of swimmnling enthusiasts present.In the third option it was Higgins '27who drew tile applause of the audience.Hie executed a flying Dutchman witha somersault that was a beauty to be-

hold. It was Woods' perfect form inthe dives froni the moment he came toattention till he disappeared beneaththe vater tilat caused the iudges to

give hlim the decision. Brown, thefreshman diver attempted some ratherdifficult dives whichl he executed boutfairly.

Breast Stroke InterestingThe next event was the semi-finals of

the 50 yard dash. Both the stars inthis event were content to loaf and

just place. It was the final of thisevent that brought out the best indi-

vidual fight of the day. From the mo-Ilment the guln wenlt off it was a neck

and nieck fight bet.ween Grover andArmstrong, with Grover winning outby, a nose. Hlimr od placed a good

fourth in this event, but was at no tuneable to keep the pace set by the lead-ers. Even with the competition of-fered by Arnmstrong, Grover was notable to repeat his lerformance of thepreceeding afternoon.

With the thrills attentive of the 50yard dash over. there were new thrills

in store for those lovers of swimimingwho were present. The heats of the

100 vards breast stroke were the nextevents onl the programn. The first heat

brought forth the first Senior enteredin the meet. Kerns '25, varsity breast-stroker was matched against two finefreshmen, and Bill W alworth, captainof the varsity, was matched against two

more. All of the iien in these trialstook it easy, saving themselves for thefinal.

Grover Wins 100 Yard SwimNext on the ,-ogram was a conipa-

ratively new event at the Institute. Thiswas thie I00 vards backstroke, which

was noteworttfx because it not only setthe record which will stand for this dis-tance. but brought out the only otherSenior entered in the meet. The race

was a walkawav for the boy fromHavw-aii-Ralph Johnson, a-s he finished

abont three-quarters of the pool aheadof Arnmstrong, a class mate. It was

a close race between Armstrong andRussell to see who would be able to ,squeeze into second place. The new

tine set in this event ,,as 1 min. 261-5 secs.

The final heat of the 100 yard swim twas another laurel for Grover, the I

frosh leader. Weis swimming for the rSophs was the only man that gave him cany opposition in this event. A finem urt by W eis on the last lap brought r

hilim up verv close, but fie could not lovercome the lead obtained at thebeginning by the sm-oothly swimming

Grover. The plunge for distancebrought forth the onlv humor of the l

>therwise eventful afternoon. Every smal not fast enough for anvthing (

rise, the frosh entered in the plunge.

Objections raised to the present sys-tem were that little work is done forthe first week or two, and that labora-tory work is neglected the final weekof each term; and it was declared thatwith only two terms a year the periodsof readjustment and of let-down areless frequent. It was also said that thevacation coming in the middle of thefirst term would stimulate the menrather than set them back, andthat there would be plenty of time forrecovering from the vacation beforethe examination period.

When asked his opinion on thechange, Dean Talbot declared, "I havenothing to say concerning anythingthat happened at the Faculty meeting,and I see no reason why any commentshould be needed."
