In past years the Lounger hasheard students judge the success ofthe entertainment at the All-TechSmoker by the laughter of ObieDenison and the tint of the cheekson the trespassing coeds and facultydames. But alas such will no longerbe the case. For Obie will be milesaway, the coeds and faculty dameswill be forcibly ejected should theymanage to dodge past the doormen,and the entertainment will be noto-rious for its genuine, scrupuloussanitariness.

The Lounger wonders just howfar in the feminine element will getbefore the bouncers begin. Techcircuses have long been the meansof rating the ingenuity of the moreinquiring coeds, but now that theyare passe what is there left for acoeducational spree but being ableto blush on the balcony during amen's smoker?

"WHERE THERE'S SMOKE-"

1

"THERE'S fire," as the old saying goes. And believe it or not, (there'll be plenty of smoke at the All-Technology get-together

tonight. Wheth er you prefer to be blindfolded, or like themtoasted, you'll be satisfied. Or bring the pipe--or don't smokeat all.

Which all goes to prove that there should be a lot of fire there,and the committee's promises seem to indicate that the pep andfun will make the evening a merry one. Good food, snappy talks,songs, movies, and somne mysteries which sound awif ully interest-inmawhat more do you want for an evenin-g ?

This is the flrst, and one of the few yearly affairs, where thewhole student body has the opportunity- to mingle together. Ofcourse, there are banquets, dances, smokers, and partiesthru0[,-houl+t fl,, Lrye~. ' ,Jit ;trloe .. ,re o. ene-.,lly, for ti -..... I.a.-roup. This is a:n occasion when everybody is there-all theclasses, and graduates and faculty join onl this night to have a

ha:'ge tile. YoU. liewcorners mav take the word of those of uswho have seen these lffainrs before--you're missinpg a. lot if youdon't come.

You freshmllen are particularly ur-oed to be present. You,most of all, need to realize what the real Technoloog spirit is. OuC-standing undergraduates and Faculty meml)ers wNill show youw~hat that side of the Institute life is which you don't see over inthe classroom. These will not be dry speeches, but informal talks,interesting, somethino- you'll be glad youl heard. You've probablybeen crabbing all fall about howv much things cost-here is thechance to enjoy yourself to the ultmost, and all for nothinog. Din-ner for first year men is at 6:15, and even that won't set you backa Sou.

This year we come to a school which has enlarged its build-i;-os, beautified its grounds. added new courses to its fine curricu-lurm; a larger freshmen class than ever was admitted; the activi-ties and sports show promise of a very successful year. The All-Technology Smoker committee has made plans to keep up withthis improved tone at the Institute. All they need is student sup-.L:ort, and all it costs you is a little time. Let's give it to them!

INTERESTS AND GULLIBILITY

IN.TERESTS of a technical nature naturally prevail over all othersin Technology students. And these interests are pursued here

so relentlessly in countless cases, and to such a degree, that ilmany individuals they become obsessions. The cultural interests,to speak of one phase of extra-technical interest, wrhich shouldexist equally with the technical pursuits, are submerged to a planefar below their true value. The result, as wve have long sincefond, is a well-trained engineer, but a very inarticulate socialbeing.

This situation, which has the earmarks of a provincial re-actionary atmosphere at Technology. is not a sudden outgrowthbut one to which maniy have acquiesced with a mere shrug of theshoulders. But now we propose to shed light on these cobwebsand explode their feigned innocence by throwring a few bombshellsinto their midst. What we need is some fresh air, a new enlioht-ened atmosphere-something refreshing, exhilarating.

This year we are witnessing one of the most interestino potlitical campaigns since the famous Bryan oratorical contest of1896. The Democrats have put forward in Smith one of their mostdyniamic personalities. The conservative Republicans have nomi-na-ated for the Presidency, Hoover, a man whose administrativeand executive abilities are lauded to the skies by his associates.These two men have been placed before the electorate as candi-dates for the highest office in the land. Their records deserve theclosest analysis, and their abilities a most careful study. As anexcellent cultural interest, we recommend this political campaignas one that should receive an enthusiastic T'eception in the mindsof all students. We would not like to see college men prove them-selves gullible fools in so important a matter, particularly whenthey have every opportunity to inform themselves intelligently.

pass out. The Lounger suggests thatthey could very capably combat thisif they would use the same non-

coughless Rolled Cold brand that somecompany gave away last term.

Among hints to the ladies, here isa little news gem the Lounger gotfrom Gilbert Seldes in "The Stammer-ing Century": "Amelia Bloomer,pioneer in reforming women's fas-hions, did not make the first pair ofbloomers. They were made by aneighbor, a Mrs. Miller, and oughtto be called millers. But Mrs.Bloomer was a notable woman leaderand her name stuck to the garmentwhich was supposed to herald newfreedom for women. Oddly enough

Frosh S quad Losing

in Num bers

Field Day football is -etting u nder

way in earnest at last and if the

size of the squads that are workin g

out on Tech Field each night is anyI

indication there is going to be a

hard fought game on the second of

Novem ber. With experienced men

getting into the coaching of both

teams and the first gam es only about

ten days off the squads are getting

a taste of real training.Wednesday's mass meeting for

the Sophomores seems to have put

some real spirit into the class at least

as far as football goes for Wednes-

dlay saw the biggeest group of Sophs

at practice that has been seen so far

this fall. Fully eight of the twenty-

five men out that afternoon are

members of last year's outfit. Some

of the veterans present were Boyn-

ton, Kamy. _Morse, Grondal, Wilson,

Lamn-oreflei, McMinim, and Coffey.

At present the coaching of the

second-year meni is in the hands of

Mr. Fitch. Fitch is a imember of the

Sophomore class and has had a lot

of football experience as a member

of the University of Southern Cali- X

fornia team. He has plenty of as-'

sistance from Kontoff a former starl

Boston University player. Last year's huladle system that was

so effective against the class of '30,

has been abondoned in favor of aI

new set of signals that have been de-

vised and which include some of the

best plays of last year. Wednesday

saw the men in light scrimmage and

as soon as some suits can be obtained

real hard work will be on the daily

program.From the wAonderful showings the

frosh made at the first of the practice

sessions there has been a very gradual

drop in attendance Ihat doesn't look

very eficourag-in(. but taking into

consideration the fact that the Sophs

are just getting under way the

yearlings still have the junmp.

Probably the falling attendance

was due to the fact that there was

no regular coach to direct the work-

outs and the men were forced to

plug along by themselves breaking

up into groups and being able to get

in only a small amount of ground-

work.

Budget Not Decided UponFigures concerning this year's quota

will be announced in a later issueof THE TECH. Last year the amountwas 83100, of wt hich $2300 was re-ceived, therefore causing the budgetsof some of the departments to be re-duced. Consequently the scope ofsopne of the activities had to be con-sidlerably limited.

Students are always welcome atthe office in the basement of the Walk-er .Miemonorial. Information may behad for the asking upon nearly anyIsubject concerning the Institute.

'1here are several openings forstudents who Eire interested in anyof the T. C. A. departments, suchas tne Handboolk Department, andother branches. Information concern-ing the above subjects may be had'by applying at the office.

Freshman CamD Is Success

There were about 30 more fresh-men attending the Freshman Campthis year over last year which showsthat the idea is becoming more popu-lar every year. However, the T. C.A. lost approximately $2 on everyman at the camp.

Cheers for these various activitieswere given by the assembly betweenthe speechs. Thse cheers includedof course the old Technologystandards, as well as a new cheerwhich awas tried out, consisting ofthree M.I.T.'s and then nine "rah's"in rapid succession.

Atthat time student leaders of the var-ious activities will be present to ex-plain the functions, and duties of theundertakings and efforts will be madeto interest the newcomers in comingiout for the competitions now goingon.

Those interested in sports will goupstairs to the gymnasium wherethere will be exhibition bouts put on 1by the Varsity Boxing and Wrestling'teams. The Varsity Gym Team isscheduled to put on a series of gym-nastics which will be the feature per-'fornmance of the sports program.Some of the point winners on thevarsity who scored last year in theIntercollegiates, will be there to givea special demonstration which willbe their first appearance of the year.

Awards Will Be PresentedA general assembly of all the stud-

The annual presen-tation of the key to Walker Memorialto the student body by Mr. AlexanderMacomber, '07, President of the Tech-nology Alumni Association will takeplace at that time and it will be ac-cepted by Brig Allen. This event isa traditional feature of the Smokerand gives the men an insight intoTechnology history which is naturallyincluded in part of the speeches.

Presentation of the Technique Cupto the track man still at the Institutewho scored the most number of pointsin the track meet last year, will befollowed by the awarding of theSchwartz medal. This prize is giveneach year to the man who has beenadjudged the best athletic managerfor the past year. The secret of whois to receive these awards is neverknown until the night of the Smoker.'

Cabaret Acts On ProgramWhat is considered by many stud-

ents the hi o. light of the entertain-ment prog'rain wvill be the cabaret actsby professional dancers and singers.Last year they proved to be' verypopular with all those present and the.commfittee promises that this even-|ings performance will be much more !snappier than last years. The exact!order in which the variou-s vaudevilleacts will comne off is not kno-wn butit includes singninl', dancinc', and act-iink. The feature number of the even-ing which will probably make thebiogest hit will be the dancing byrGretchen Grant and Ruth Prineau.!Theyes will be accomipained by Ben!AMacomber on the oiano.
