I. F. C. Dance CommitteeGets One Counterfeit Bill

I. F. C. dance officials are won-dering whether to consider Tech-nology men usually honest, notquite entirely honest, or merelyunequal to opportunities, such asthey are-

The reason for this is the dis-covery that out of approximately$1700 taken in only one one-dol-lar bill was counterfeit. Since noprevious records on the numberof counterfeits are available, it isnot known whether this is a goodor a bad record. However, despitethis lack of definite information,the general feeling is that thecommittee was trather lucky.

Professor Roy W. Carlson of theDepartment of Civil Engineering andthree collaborators were awarded theWason medal for the most meritoriouspaper presented before the AmericanConcrete Institute during 1934, at theInstitute's annual meeting in NewYork on February 21.

The paper described investigationsby Professor Carlso.n and ProfessorG. C. Troxell, Professor R. E. Davisand J. W. Kelly of the University ofCalifornia, which led to the develop-ment of the special cement being pour-ed by the million cubic yard intoBoulder Dam.

The research was supervised byProfessor Carlson, under ProfessorDavis' direction, and revealed muchneeded information on the effect ofphysical and chemical composition ofcement on the heat of hydration, vol-ume change, durability, strength, andother properties of concrete.

Professor Carlson is well known forhis research in structural materialsfor large dams and for the develop-ment of electrical measuring instru-ments to record strains and stress,

PLATO STILL LIVESTHE BLINDING FLAME OF TRUTH

NE of the most perfect and be0 allegories ever constructed in the ato explain the attitudes of learned menfound in the seventh book of Plato's "lie". From this allegory, we may concluthe basic difference between a philosoplan ignoramus is the same in this ageinvestigation of the natural sciences astwenty-four centuries ago.

For Plato relates the story of a grmen chained with their backs to a wall,and above which a fire is burning, anthe top of which several real objecpassed. The shadows of these objects abefore the prisoners, wvho are unable tosources of the images. As a result, thestandards of the group are based entirelthe passing shadows, their repetition, tquency of that repetition, and all assthouglhts.

One individual of the group is set frforced to look up at the objects whiclthe shadows; he is at first blinded, butadjusts his eyes sufficiently to be able tthe articles. He is then unable to c,them as material as the shadows whicproduce, but at last he adjusts his nthink in ternms of three dimensions. La,is shown the fire behind and above thand the cyclical process of adjustm,peated. The freed individual understarplight of his former fellow prisoners,cordingly pities them for their superfic:look. But the tables are turned when 1himself chained once more with his lthe wall. Blinded by the fire, he can nosee the shadows cast by it. and hencEgarded as an outcast by the othersngroup.

Everyone knows that whether or notthe fire of truth, he will nevertheless beto live among many who have not. Ifregard for the moment the ficti-tious individual and considereveryday life, we can see howeasy it is for one who has seenthe truth to make himself un-derstood by others, in under-standing the outlook of his as-sociates through his own formerexperiences.

No matter how desirable itmay seem to such a seer to livewithin his own shell, it is truethat sooner or later such a men-tal life, closely associated as itmust be with his physical life-which is governed by the desires-of the group with which he lives

--will at some time be greatlyinconvenienced by the very diff-erence in the demands of thosewho live in the light and thosewho live in the shade.

It often happens that thelearned one attempts to furtherhis enliglhtenment, claiming thatin return for the earthly goodswhich enable him to do so, hewill attempt to spread the lightof truth to the providers ofthose goods. Could he do so, hewould be justified, but in only toomany cases he is too well attrac-ted by the flame, and hence is al-ways blinded. Since reconcilia-tion of new, personal knowledgewith his old, common knowledgeis impossible in this light,he is unable to teach anything

PUTTING IT OVERI. F. C. DANCE

HE success of the I. F. C. dance last Fri-1day evening at the Statler was an almost

unprecedented indication of what a schooldance can be, provided the dance manager hasthe push to "put it over".

With money not quite as plentiful thesedays as it has been in times past, students aremaking economies that often affect their ex-penditures for dances and entertainment.Faced with the difficulty of selling tickets tostudents who are reluctant to part with theirmoney, dance committees are sometimes tornbetween two conflicting tendencies. They hesi-tate to hire an expensive orchestra fearingthat they will not make their budget, and yetthey realize that one of their main sellingpoints is a good orchestra.

The only answer to the dilemma is to havea dance committee with the judgment to plana dance on a large scale and the initiative andenthusiasm to "sell out." The I. F. C. dancecommittee had the foresight to see that thefraternity dance could be made a success, andcan be satisfied that it was.

To the Editor of TIIE TECII:

I am glad THE TECH has been interviewing studentson the subject of evening closing of the Central Li-brary. Since the Library exists to serve student quiteas much as faculty needs, student opinion in regard tothe service rendered is important, and all suggestionsand criticisms are welcomed by the Librarian and staff.

When the Central Library used to be open until10 p.m., so little demand was made upon it in thelater evening hours that in 1933-34, when economymeasures became necessary, it was closed at 7:30.This year, in order that the Library might effect afurther actual budget saving of ten per cent, 6 o'clockclosing was voted. It was felt that the great majorityof students would be able to obtain before 6 o'clocksuch books as they might need and take them to theirhomes or dormitories for evening use, and that thishas been the case is shown by the comparatively smallnumber of complaints received.

Nevertheless, tor men engaged on research prob-lems, who must use reference sets that do not circu-late, or a variety of periodicals in the stacks, the situ-ation is admittedly inconvenient, and it is the hope ofthe Library Committee that funds may be found nextyear to provided for keeping open evenings, possiblyas late as 9 o'clock. The expense, however, is not ex-actly negligible, as it appeared to one of the studentsinterviewed; there must be two attendants, not one, onduty at the desk and an elevator operator must beprovided. To keep open until 9 o'clock from October

It wasexpected that Stan would place second to Little, the man who nosed him outlast year, but a dark horse in the person of Ben Johnson copped first honorsahead of Little.

It was a case of strength in numbers at the gym meet with Armyin the Walker Gym Saturday, with the cadets winning because theyhad enough men to take all of the second places. Tech turned up withwinners and third-placers in exactly half of the events. Ernie VanHam, in particular, gave a fine exhibition to the big crowd on hand.It was the Largest crowd we have ever seen in the gym, but you know"there's something about a soldier-".

Hal Miller stirred up controversies in both his ascents in the rope climb.The first time there was some question whether he jumped the starting gunin making his event-winning time of five seconds, but Army conceded thepoint.

ReviewSad aPreviews

"Chapayev" at MajesticThis Russian production is one of

the really "epic" pictures. Strangelyenough, the fact that all the dialogueis in Russian (with English titles)does not detract from the force of thedrama. Except for the few necessaryexplanations, the entire plot can beeasily followed through the excellentpantomine of the actors.

The action of the story takes placeduring the civil strife between the"Reds" and the "Whites", which fol-lowed the overthrow of the Czar inRussia. Chapayev is an illiteratepeasant who leads a band of loyal"Reds". Hitherto accustomed only toguerilla warfare, he is given commandof a division in the Red army, underthe "councillorship" of a young govr-ernlment Commissar. It is from thestory of D. A. Furmanov, this Com-missar, that the facts of the episodeare obtained.

Chepayev, the great general, is nat-urally resentful at the presence of hisco-commander, and he almost killshim in a fit of rage, but gradually sub-mits to the latter's superior wisdom.

Harold George was the hero of thevarsity bouts. In his first bout on thevarsity team this year he came thruby beating Hawkes of Springfield,who is unquestionably fine materialfor +.hp inter.nollogintes. Co->naptainMardorosian is also rated as a prob-able winner in the intercollegiates

Cestoni ImprovesThe heavyweight Cestoni gave defi-

nite proof that he has improved whenhe obtained a draw with Combs, bywhom he was beaten last year. Al-though not a winner Co-captain Har-old Oshry did a fine job in the 145 lb.class. He lost a time decision toClark of Springfield who has been out-standing all season.

In the freshman bouts the sole Techwins were Atmore Strom 175 lbs., whotook the decision from Konsivitis ofSpringfield while Newton Peyton tookhis opponent with a fall in the heavy-weight class. The coach expects to seeboth these men take victories in theintercollegiates to be held at Tech Fri-day of this week.
