ADVISORY COUNCILSTUDIES QUESTION

OF CLUB INSIGNIATo Canrvass MW.I.T.A.A. Opinion

To Decide Managers' StatusIn Varsity Club

BOAT TRAVEL CONDEMNED

Question of P. T. Substitution ForFreshmen Referred To

Dean's Office

Questioning whether managers of sportswho have won the "bar-T" should berated as full members in the Varsity Club,the Advisory Council on Athletics decidedthat a canvass of undergraduate opinionshould be made after a general discussionat a meeting at the Engineer's Club lastnight.

To Canvass X.I.T.A.A.

At present, there are two types of mem-bership in the Varsity Club. The regularmembers are winners of the straight "T"who have been competitors in varioussports. Honorary members are those whohave been granted a "T" for exceptionalservice to athlietics. Feeling among theCouncil was divided; some felt that man-agers who put as much t ime into thesport as the competitors, should have anidentical reward. The opposing con-tention held that the managerial insigniais not necessarily inferior but is different.

IMembers of the M.I.T.A.A. will beasked to determine what the undergrad-uate opinion is upon this subject. Uponthe basis of this canvass, the AdvisoryCouncil will send a recommendation tothe Varsity Club.

Boat Travel Condemned

Travel by Technology teams by boatwas denounced because of the greateruncertainty of that mode of travel, thegreater difficulty of keeping training, andthe fact that additional funds have beensecured from the Corporation this year inorder to eliminate boat travel.

The question concerning substitution ofa sport for P. T. for freshman candidatesas managerial positions was referred tothe Dean's office. Under the presentruling all freshman candidates for man-agers are automatically barred from anysubstitution privilege.

DECISION FOLLOWSPROTEST MADE BY

PRES. COMPTONOfficial Orders ZHave Not Come

But Are Expected Soon,Col. Arthur Says

COURSE XVI MEN ELIGIBLE

Following a protest from PresidentCompton to the War Department atWashington, permission has been grantedfor the continuation of the Air TrainingUnit of the advanced 7]\ilitary ScienceCourse at Technology. Official orders tothis effect have not as yet arrived, butLieut.-Col. Robert Arthur, Executive Offi-cer of the department of Military Scienceand Tactics at the Institute, stated lastnight that he had been assured by reliablesources that the orders whould be trans-mitted shortly for the maintenance of theunit here.

Special arrangements will be made toenable all Juniors enrolled in Course XVIto sign for the advanced course in the AirService, if they so desire. Juniors, ofCourse XVI only, who are not now takingthe advanced course wtill be able to electthe work at the beginning of the secondterm with one extra hour a week, to bespent drilling the freshman units.

May TransferQualified juniors, nowv in other units,

will be permitted to apply for transfer tothe Air Unit in February. Since the first-term work in Junior year consists entirelyof drill, designated as MS31, those menat present in other units will have no extrawork of any sort.

Seniors will not be in any way affectedby this change in policy, since the AirCorps is still operating at the Institute,though this was to have been its last year.The only men immediately affected arethe Junior members of Course XVI, al-though Sophomore and freshman membersof the Aeronautics Department will beinterested in years to come.

Special Exception MfadeIn response to a question, Colonel

Arthur stated that, so far as lie has beenable to determine, a special exception hasbeen made to the Army's decision to re-move the air trainling courses from all thecolleges and schools in the country. Hsaid he believed this exception to havr

"TIE CEREMONY'SSteal First Casket, But Fail

When Second Is GottenTo Fill The Gap

PROF. GREENE ORATES

Stirred to wrath by a tactical blunderof the freshman dance committee, a largegroup of Sophomores strove desperatelyto disrupt the "tie funeral" planned as themain event of the freshman dance, heldthe last Saturday evening before theChristmas holidays. The wily Sopho-mores gained temporary victory whenthey contrived to intercept the "piece deresistance" of the ceremony, an ornatecoffin loaned to the freshmen for theoccasion by the _Nlational Casket Com-pany.

In the preliminary announcements ofthe dance, the committee had caused it tobe stated that Sophomores wT-ho attemptedto "crash" the party would be "dealtwVith." No great amount of troubledeveloped at the ticket doors, but thedriver who was delivering the coffin wvaswaylaid and persuaded to hand over thebox, which was then placed safely else-where.

When the casket failed to arrive onschedule, members of the committeeguessed the probable cause of trouble,and one of their number, who had theproper connections, 'phoned for another.Great care and a bit of glib argument,when two or three Sophomores attemptedto seize it at the last minute, finally wronout and the freshmen had their ceremony.

Borne on the shoulders of six burlyfreshmen, dressed in toppers and shorts,the coffin wvas brought in and depositedin front of the orchestra to the accompani-ment of a dirge. A short, witty speech byProfessor Greene of the English Depart-ment, in which the freshmen received theirappointed share of sarcasm, preceded thedepositing of the ties in the casket. Thebox was then borne away with a doublefile of freshmen following mournfully be-hind.

Ties Later Burned

Later the whole collection of ties wasquietly cremated and the ashes thereofwere sprinkled thither and yon about theGreat Court of the Institute. The casketswere returned to their respective owners,

the first one having meanwhile been re-

turned to the freshman committee.

Music for the dance was furnished by

the Techtonians, and President and MIrs.

Compton and Assistant Dean Pitre and

Mrs. Pitre attended as chaperones. The

decorations were the ones which had been

used the evening before for the Dorm

Formal Dance and were kindly lent to the

freshmen by the Dormitory dance com-

mittee.

Refreshments for the gathered throng

were sold at the Cafeteria during an inter-

mission at 11 o'clock. A special supper

was also served in the Grill Room for the

chaperones and the members of the Dance

Committee and their guests during the

intermission.

IMembers of the Committee announced

after the dance that it had been financially

successful, which, according to Bill Car-

lisle, head of the Walker Dining Service,

is so unusual that he can remember no

time during his career in WTalker when

that has happened. Plans for another

dance to be held sometime in the spring

are being discussed by the class officers.

'"SAVE A DOLLARS'TECHNIQUE URGES

Sign-Up Booth Will Be Open forThe Entire Week In The

Main Lobby

After this week the price of the Tech-nique for 1932 will be five instead of fourdollars. "Sign up now and save a dollar,"is what the Technique staff suggests. Thesign-up will last for this week only in theMain Lobby. Last year many were dis-appointed because they had not madethis arrangement for the entire edition wassold out and no copies wvere offered forsale.

Those who have already taken the PiDelta Epsilon offer will have nothing topay at this time, but for those wvho aresigning up, the charge wvill be two dollarswith the remainder due the first week inFebruary. Another way that it may betaken care of, is to charge the entireamount to one's Bursar's account.

Graduates Here

Vital economic and business problemsof the day were discussed at a New Year'sbusiness conference held for the benefit ofgraduates by the department of Businessand Engineering Administration at theInstitute last Saturday. t,

For this conference, which wras attendedby more than two hundred past studentsin the business course, Professor ErwinH. Schell '12, head of the department atTechnology, had planned a programwhich brought under discussion some ofthe most vital problems of the day. Itwas the purpose of this conference to studythe underlying changes brought about inbusiness and commerce during the last fewyears and which it now appears will havea permanent effect upon the business andindustrial structure of the future.

R ELIGIOUS fanatics have, in recent years, taken to longtirades which reveal the "terrible truth" that the modern col-

lege student is drawn away from the religious ties he knew at home,and charging that higher education is killing much of the spiritualbeauty of life. Peculiarly enough, the Technology Christian Asso-ciation has had an experience which might indicate that it is hightime for repenting and redemption.

With the admirable intention of bringing the Technologystudent in-Lo closer contact with local churches, this organizationmailed to each freshman, before school officially opened this fall,a blank which when signed by his own pastor and returned to theT.C.A. would allow him membership in the church of his denomina-tion in Boston or Cambridge during his four years here, thus in noway forcing him to sever his home connections, and offeringtemporary membership in a local c;hurch v-V7hile af st-udCL-it at Tech-nology. These blanks, with proper instructions, were sent tosix hundred new men; eighteen accepted the offer.

Nothing daunted, the T.C.A. set about to revise its mailinglist. It was found that 35 per cent of the freshmen had indicatedno church preference on their freshman cards. Accordingly, thesemen, along with those who would live at home while students atTechnology, and also those who were members of churches whichwould require no such arrangement, were promptly deleted fromthe list. The revised list contained about two hundred membersof the first-year class.

A new letter was drawn up before the Christmas holiday, newblanks enclosed, and these two hundred men were given a secondopportunity to this offer. Thus far no replies have been received!Wye may lay this to the possibility that insufficient time has elapsedsince mailing this letter; we may assume the mailing list is stillat fault. At least it is apparent that the T.C.A. is having its diff-culties in Iocatina, students who-will willingly be saved.

Student apathy to matters of a religious nature is nothingcrew, but whether or not this experience is indicative of a regret-

table situation at Technology we are in no position to judge.Perhaps -,re may expect the proverbial thunderbolt any instant,perhaps not. At any rate, the T.C.A., in light of a discouragingdisinterest, should be commended for its repeated efforts to keepTechnology students to the way of the good and the pure.

TECHNIQUE ONCE AGAINJ§1111R NJ AdgA FTER a lapse of sales activity since Regist~ration Day, Tech-

ni~qitc is this week renewing its efforts to sell signups for theInstitute yearbook, that important chronicle of Technology under--raduate actizrities.

Appearing with a much improved mnake-up, increased size,and nesw material, Technique received much favorable commentafter its deli-very to students and Faculty last spring. One tangiblesign of its favorable reception is an order for.one hundred copiesthat has been received from an Institute official. Such an orderhas not been received before. Faculty and administration mem-bei-s are not alone in their expressed approval of the improved-volume. Student remarks were all of a commendatory nature.

As a permanent record of Institulte activities, Technique fillsa place in Institute life, and as such a record it deserves a place inthe undergraduate library. Its many photographs and well--written description make it a valuable record of the year atTechnology. 011PON

Again this year Technique offers its inducement to subscribeto the publication at reduced rates during its sign-up campaign.B3y making a deposit in the form of a sign-up, one not only assureshimself of obtaining a copy of the book, but also obtains it at- aprice considerably below that charged when the publication is.issued. With the quality of the volume issued last year and thepromise of a similar volume this year, this undergraduate publica-tiOnl should havre little difficulty in securing sign-ups, anld thestudent body will benefit by the reduced price and the assuranceof a reserved copy.

An exposition of the substance, develop-menlt, and results of cardiographic researchis presented in this month's TechnologyReview by Professor Vannevar Bush, ofthe department of Electrical Engineering,and W. D. Reid, of the Evans MemorialHospital.

In 1887, Waller did the first work inthis field with his capillary electrometer.It had already been demonstrated thatthere are slight differences of potentialconnected with muscular and nervousactions, so that it remained only to perfectan instrument for measuring these phe-nomena accurately.

New Year's and no news combine together for a new column. Since the contentsof sports columns are ordinarily trite, this one will'certainly keep up the tradition.With the wonderful teams that have come out of Technology this season, the depart-ment must just break out with the news.

Technology's two major winter sports, basketball and hockey, are enjoyingvarying degrees of success. The hoopsters got off to a big start, with Gene O'Briendoing all of the shooting. Newport Naval was a setup for the Beavers, with theCrimson Independants the first real test for the Engineers. Successful in this game,the basketball team dropped its third game to Rhode Island, to crash all Beaver hopesof a long string of victories, broken perhaps only in the Harvard game next week.

Three games are on the slate for next week, with Clark Wednesday, HarvardFriday, and Brown the next night. Coach McCarthy has another setup in the Clarkgame. which will give him a chance to try some of these much-tooted subs of his. Theother two games are no cinches, for the Beavers have a small (if any) chance in over-coming the Crimson team. Brown is more in the Engineer class.

Hockey got its first setback this season when an inexperienced coach took theplace of the veteran Stewart. Since that time they have shown remarkable totallack of teamwork and offensive play. Last season Coach Stewart was praying for agoalie, for he had good offensive and defensive talent.'

Now Duplin is in the opposite situation. He has a very nice goalie in Milliken,and another in a much improved Whiston. But the offense doesn't function at all;at least it hasn't to any treat extent in the fovr games so far. At least there is hopefor improvement in the Northeastern game at the Arena tonight, for Northeasternis not so good, either.

Technology Sextet Has SlightEdge In Early MorningScrimmages To Date

FIRST GAME FOR N. U.

Having had plenty of opportunity topractise during the holidays, a faster, anda better-conditioned Technology hockeyteam will go on the ice tonight, when theBeavers play Northeastern University.For the other half of the twin bill, theMelrose Hockey Club meets the BostonHockey Club.

Last year the Huskies beat Technology2-0. The Beavers had a better team butlack of a competent goalie caused theEngineers a defeat. This year, Capt.Tommy Regan and his teammates willput it all over the boys from HuntingtonAvenue if they play the brand of hockeythat they displayed in the Boston Univer-sity game before the holidays. Regan andJoe Fahey scored two goals in the lastninety seconds of a ten-minute overtimeperiod, to win the game, 3-2.

Huskies Lose VeteranNortheastern will undoubtedly feel the

loss of Dick Sommers, a veteran forward,who is ineligible. On the first line theHuskies will have Capt. Bill Carter, rightwing; Herbert Gallagher, center; andMaurice Rice, left wing. Simon Andersonand Matthew Walsh will play right andleft defense, respectively, and James Den-ton will start in the goal.

This will be the first game of the seasonfor the Huskies although they have beenpractising since November. Technologyand Northeastern have had several scrim-mages during morning practice sessions atthe Arena and the Beavers seem to haveonly a slight edge, if any. Going into thefray as the underdog, Northeastern maybe looked to to put up quite a battle andmay even surprise their confident oppon-ents.

Second Game to be HotConsidering the game of hockey played

by the Melrose Hockey Club in its matchwith the Beavers during the holidays, theMelrose-Boston Hockey Club game shouldsizzle with action. The Beavers receivedeven more punishment at the hands of theClubmen than they did in the Princetongame. Several fights were nearly started,and at the termination of the fray theBeavers were nearly crippled. The firstgame nwill start at 8.15 o'clock.

Economic Conditions." Considering thedecline in prices from a national and inter-national point of view, Professor Dewveysaid:

"Prices of commodities in general havefallen 30 per cent in less than three years.The fall in prices of finished goods, how-ever, is not one-half that of the averageprice decline. Fixed charges have re-mained almost stationary.

"The fall of prices has increased theburden of reparations imposed upon Ger-many by one-third.

"Due to this decline in prices, Englandowes the United States, as measured incommodities, after paying us hundreds ofmillions, more than she did when shebegan to make payments."

Outstanding EconomistProfessor Dewvey is one of the outstand-

ing economists of the country, and hisobservations -were of unusual interest. Themarketing of manufactured goods, a topicof particular interest in every industrytoday, wvas discussed by Professor RobertF. Elder, who is widely known for hisstudies in marketing.

Changes in corporate financial policywere discussed by Professor Floyd E.Armstrong, of the department of Econ-omics, and Professor Wyman P. Fiskespoke on "Significant Changes in Account-ing Control." Professor Schell, wvho pre-sided at the conference, re\,iewved impor-tant trends in production manag-ement.

BASKETBALL TEAMWILL PLAY THREGAMES NEXT WEEK

Clark, Harvard and Brown ToBe Played By Varsity

In Four Days-

FROSH PLAY SATURDAY

After a week of practice to get backinto form, the freshman and varsity bas-ketball teams will resume their schedules.The first-year aggregation starts thingsoff this Saturday, January 9, with a gameat Dean Academy. The varsity squadwill get into action next week, playingthree games in four days. Clark Univer-sity will be played at home on Wednesday,January 13; Harvard on Friday, andBrown on Saturday, the last two gamesbeing played away.

Harvard is undoubtedly Technology'shardest game, and it is unfortunate thatthis should come between two other gatneswhich are also far fron setups. ThisyearTs Crimson quintet does not seem tomeasure up to that of last season, butcomparative scores seem to give them anedge over the Engineers.

Junior Varsity Loses to HarvardTwo games were played on the Saturday

before the Christmas holidays. The Juniorvarsity lost to the Harvard Seconds by a29-16 count, in a rather one-sided game.Coon, who played an excellent floor game,and Captain Steele, who scored six points,were the best Beaver players.

After the Junior varsity contest, thefreshmen lost their second game in threestarts to the Harvard yearlings in an inter-esting and hard-fought encounter. As inthe Rhode Island State game, the firsthalf was fairly even, with Harvard leading13-11. The later periods saw the Crimsondraw away to ring up a final margin of35-24. Harvard showed the usual lot ofpromising material. Boys, a forward, ledhis team with fourteen points. For thelosers, Szczechowicz and Peterson, withsix points, and Fitzgibbon, with five,stood out.

At the present time the varsity havewon two out of three starts, while thefreshmen have been victors in one of 'theirthree contests.

With the opening of the hunting seasonin Schenectady several Union College stu-dents were seen carrying guns, but headedfor the pawn shop, rather than the forest.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIPIS URGED BY T. C. A.

Letters Sent To Assist 'New MenIn Joining Churches

In an effort to bring Technology stu-dents into closer contact with localchurches of their respective faiths, WilliamC. Schumacher '34, of the Religious Divi-sion of the T.C.A., has sent letters to thepastors of twenty-nine churches nearTechnology inhiting them to cooperatein the work being conducted by the T. C.A.Just before the Christmas vacation letterswere sent to two hundred first-year stu-dents living in the dormitories andfraternity houses. Blank letters of intro-duction were enclosed which were to befilled out by the pastor of the student'shome church and sent to the pastor of alocal church. It is expected that thisservice will aid students in making con-nections which will be of benefit to himwhile at Technology.

SPOR TS DESK

As well as a hard week for the varsityball-tossers, the Jayvees, assuming theirfull rights this year for the first time, areaccumulating a schedule with neighboringJunior varsity teams, which begins to as-sume the full proportions of a gameschedule. Men on this team journeyedto the Harvard Gym on the Saturdaybefore vacation, and met the Harvardsquad, and they will continue with fourmore games, two with Tufts, another withHarvard, and a possible one with BostonUniversity.

Injuries this year on the basketball teamhave not menaced the squad to a seriousextent, but there have been several whichhave caused a little trouble. Dan Emond,from last year's freshman team, broke abone in his foot early in the season, in agame of football, but was practising againbefore Christmas and is now fully re-covered. In the Jayvee game withHarvard, Bing Crosby sustained somecontusions of the inner nose, which re-quired an operation during the holiday,but he will play again as soon as it isentirely healed.

While on the subject of injuries, it nowlooks as though the wrestling team mightbe handicapped by the loss of the servicesof Captain Vassalotti for a meet or two.He has had trouble with a trick knee thisyear, and last night in working out, itgave out again. Vassalotti has been thescoring backbone of the squad during theyears he has been here and is counted onfor a good deal this year, as captain.

In the rather unfortunate wrestlingmeet with Harvard, before the vacation,two men -who would have done much toimprove the team's standing, were unableto compete because of injuries. LouVassalotti's knee wvas bothering him atthat time, and Koller, wrestling heavy-weight, had pulled an elbow ligament.Putnam replaced Koller, and Poole,Vassalotti.

Amherst swimmers are coming out tothe University Club pool next Saturdayafternoon, to meet the Institute team.So tar, the Institute lineup has not beenannounced, but the men are all reportingfor practices after the vacation, and feware suffering from the colds commonlyassociated with the sport.

One of a group of five famous Americanportraits on exhibition at the Metro-politan Museum is one by Samuel Morse,inventor of the telegraph, who was anartist before he took up invention.
