TKE BROWNBAGGERS WILLcome into their own again, to

judge by the severity of the markinglast term. In the past year or so theInstitute has been tightening upscholastically. So quietly has thistightening been going on that fewstudents realize its extent. Yet allthe signs are there, and if they areexamined simultaneously the concla-sion becomes evident.

Limitation of the freshman class to600 was the first outward sign. Dur-ing the depression there were noteven 600 who could be admitted by aliberal stretching of the standards.'Inis year, many were rejected whowould have been admitted a year ortwo ago.

Limitation of course enrollmentswas another step. It will graduallyweed out the less competent whowere admitted when requirementswere more lax, And the number ofborder-line cases who were "'bounced"this term seems much higher thanusual. Very definitely there was lessof a tendency to give students a"break" in marking individual sub-jects.

All this will undoubtedly result inthe greater glory of the scholasticstandard of the Institute. But it isunfair to the student who had beenadmitted under one standard&to sud-denly discover himself no longer inhis chosen course because he failedto measure up to a higher standard.

FREE TENNISWVHY NOT?

E. N.'s editorial last week suggestingifree use of the tennis courts for students

brought up again a quetion that has been an-noying students for years.

It does not seem quite fair to charge thirtycents an hour for the use of the tennis courts,when more favored sports are free. One resultof the present system is that the courts areused almost as much by people only remotelyconnected with the Institute as by those moredirectly affiliated.

It would seem logical that Technology couldoffer its students free tennis privileges, asmany other schools do, instead of charging asmuch as public courts. If the M. I. T. A. A. isinterested in making a useful investigation, itshould study the question and recommend aplan that would provide free tennis for stu-dents.

mild winter it has been possible to getsome relief by opening a window.

It is time the administration real-ized that work cannot be accomplishedefficiently in a sealed room. Air condi-tioning is not necessary, but ventila-tion of class-rooms and lecture-hallsshould be drastically improved.

Frederick J. Kolb, '38 HerbertK. Weiss. '37 PLYMOUTH - "Brother Rat," anew George Abbott production, op-ened to Boston audiences last night.The product of two young play-wrights, John Monks, Jr., and FredF. Finkelhoff who are both alumni ofVirginia Military Institute, the playis the munfolding- of a seniors trials,tribulations and escapades during hislast two months preceding gradua-.tion. Although the plot does not runperfectly smooth, and shows imrma-turity of purpose in other parts, thestory as a whole indicates that theauthors are well on the road to suc-cess.

We were particularly interested inthe commandant's daughter who, as atutor in .Chemistry endeavors topound some knowledge into a cadetshead. Her acting was identical to thatof a high school teacher and herknowledge of Chemistry about asliberal as a Harvard freshman'sbrains.

The jokes have a new life aboutthem which appealed to us. The sub-plot of a cadet's wife and his becom-ing a father provide quite a few bellylaughs.

Messrs. Monk and Finkelhoff, ifthey keep up the good work, will seeus again in the first balcony.

It is therefore difficult to explain just whythe Institute should fail to practice what itpreaches. Many who have slept through lec-tures in 4-270, 6-120, and similar repositoriesof stagnant air can testify that the ventila-tion system of the Institute is: sadly deficient.

Room 6-120 is an outstanding example, es-pecially since one would expect the newest ofTechnologyis buildings to be the most up-to-date. But not only is there no artificial venti-lation, but it is practically a physical impossi-bility to open a window.

The only value of the present lack of ven-tilation is that it makes possible an approxi--mate estimate of the amount of sleep the dif-ferent students have had the night before. Thetwo-hour sleepers fall asleep almost at once.In about.fifteen minutes those who have hadonly half their normal rest are dozing peace-fU!~. ~Andas ~e air becmes increasinly hot

It is unfair to a student who hadbeen getting marks just above min-imum scholastic standards for two orthree or even three and a half yearsto suddenly find himself below theminimlunm, on the same quality ofwork.

Of course the Institute has made noofficial announcement, because to doso would be to admit that standardshad been lowered during the depres-sion. Unavoidable though that mayhave been, Building 10 didn't think itwould sound very good. But it wouldhave been fairer to the students tobe honest about it.

SHORT-SOiGHTED COURTSLIBERAL VS. CONSERVATIVE

[ \j')[TITH the General Motors strike peaceablyv T settled, we can examine the issues be-

-, hind the forty-day strife much more open-mindedly than previously.

In revierving the history of the strike, themost outstanding fact was the open disregard

-~ of court orders shown by the sit-downerswhen they refused to evacuate the plants theyoccupied. This is extremely significant.

A commonly accepted basis of government! ~is necessary for the proper working of democ-.

racy. Respect for law is part of this basis. If

the government must take undemocratic steps.~ to enforce its edicts. The courts have always

-" been an essential factor in government, andpeaceable abiding by law is necessary forpeaceable enforcement of the law. Governor

~ Murphy, moved by very laudable humranitar-': ~ian motives, refused to employ troops to en-

force the-order of the courts. The General~i lMotors Corporation, anxious to have the sup-

: : Zport of the general public in its contentions,was not overly anxious to have bloodshed,

either. Hence the courts were, in effect, over-ruled.

W hile it was admittedly not an easy matterin this case, to see to it that the authority ofthe law was Icept up, it is obvious that unlesssomething is done to rebuild the reputation of

,~; the courts our existing legal institutions willnot mean much in the Tace of the strikers'successful flaunting of properly constituted

. , authority.V- What can be done is not quite clear. The

J i courts might declaire the legality of the sit-:| ~dowvll strike, but to do so would be to declare

the violability of private property, a stepwhichll they felt could not be taken under acapitalistic economic set-up. The police powerof- thie state could be exercised, but that would

~: represent the beginning of tyranny. To exer-cise police power would be to admit that thebasis of gov-ernment had broken down, was nolonger accepted by the people, and that thebasis was being' forced upon them, an undem-ocretic prioceeding.

There is only one thing to do, and that is toso liberalize 'ile attitude of ttie courts that. ~ they l'eain some of their lost reputation. Itis ac, u:doulbted fact that the poorer elementsfind cnle cout'ts today anything but a temple of.JuTstice.
