Electioneering in the form that:"(Candidates be allowedl to hold rallieson the Institute grounds and to ill-dul-e in other forms of electioneering,subject to the approval of the Elec-tiOIIS Committee, but not to form vot-in-g blocks or to electioneer at thepools," 'was legalized by the InstituteCommittee last esveninq, upon accep-tance of the report submitted by theSpecial Committee on Elections.

Much importance had been placedon this question of electioneering aswvas experienced last November 8thwhen an attempt was made to havethe fraternities pool their votes to se-cure positions on the Junior PromCommittee for their fraternity bro-thers. It was this incident thatbrought about an investigation by aSpecial Committee on Elections.

The Committee had been requestedby the Institute Committee to recom-mend measures designed to improveconditions under which elections atTechnology are now held.

"It is perhaps not necessary,"stated the report, "sto point out thatno perfect -solution can be made tosuch an intangible, many sided prob-lem. The Committee does not claimthat its recommendations, if adopted,will prevent all undesirable featuresin coming elections, or that complaintsthat the measures are unfair, too lib-eral, or reactionary, will not arise."

Committee Makes MistakeThe constitution of the Christian

Science Organization was accepted atyesterday's meeting. Recognition ofthe organization had been withdrawnby the Institute Committee on Janu-ary 10, when the Executive Committeestated that it had found no evidenceof activity on the part of the club.However, since that time the club hasproven to the Eexecutive Committeethat it is active enough to merit recog-n ition.

A letter was read to the Committeefrom Lawrence C. Ebel, G., formerofficer of the Liberal Club, from whichrecognition had also been withdrawn.The letter stated that since there waspractically no prospect of a revivalof the Liberal Club, he was turningover the funds of the Club, amountingto $6.07, to the Institute Committee.Ebel suggested that the money mightbe kept in case the Liberal Club wasever revived, but at the suggestionof John B. Ballard, '35, treasurer ofthe Institute Committee, the amountwas turned over to the TechnologyUnion, whose purposes, according toBallard, are somewhat similar tothose of the Liberal Club.

The Institute Committee also ap-proved the recent elections of THETECIr, T. E. N., and Voo Doo, andthe selection of Elwood H. Koontz, '36,as Junior member and treasurer ofthe 1935 Senior 'Week Committee.

Election Changes MadeAfter the report of the special com-

mittee investigating electioneering,Samuel S. Fox, '35, chairman of theElections Committee and a member ofthe special committee, moved thateach of the recommendations beadopted. A motion was passed thatnominees submit the information re-cluested by the committee on theirnomination blanks, with the exceptionof Senior Week Committee nomina-ions.

In the discussion as to whether can-didates be allowed to hold rallies, Rich-ard Muther, representative of theClass of '38, said that he was afraidcandidates would spend too much timepreceding elections holding ralliesHowever, Peter Grant, '35, said thatonly twenty or thirty people attendedother rallies at present, and that onlythe candidate's friends would attendpolitical rallies, so that not manyrallies would be held. The motion tcpermit rallies under the control of theElections Committee was passed.

Motion Suffers ChangeThe motion that fall Freshman elec-

tions be abolished was passed withoutdiscussion, and another motion thatthe Freshman section leaders be calle&the Freshman .Council was also passed

home rebuilding plan of the government is aworkable scheme? Certainly the present ad-ministration will not pass without leaving arecord of mistakes as well as of achievementbecause of the fact that only inaction will es-cape error. It is just as true that indolence

never began anything and never will, whetheron the part of an individual or in a nationaladministration. Upon what basis, it is asked,do the planning authorities in Washington de-

fend their $150,000,000. program for low-renthousing? The answer is straightforward anddeserves serious consideration. During thepast fifty years, countries of Europe, notablyEngland and Germany, have been studyinggovernment housing, and have achieved muchmore in this field than has the United States.England has done much to house her laboringclasses and is very active in this field at thepresent time and demonstrates that adequatehousing and community planning has becomea national policy. The United States has donelittle to compare with the recognized advancesthat England has made, and has much to learnfrom England and much to imitate profitably.

Still, some will ask, "but how will it haveworked out years from now?" Here again,England has a ready answer. In the great Lon-don fire, in 1666, large parts of the city werepractically burned to the ground so that ex-tensive reconstruction was necessary. Thefight about a plan for rebuilding began at oncebetween the individual property owner and thecity planner. The property owner opposed anyplan calling for the rerouting of streets with

the resulting necessity for relocation of do-mestic property lots. The city planner, in thiscase, the celebrated English architect, SirChristopher Wren, insisted upon replanning

the district for workability and beauty and,actually designed a plan for the destroyedarea, which if adopted, would have made Lon-don one of the most beautiful cities in theworld. The English people realize this now,but instead of having one of the most beauti-

ful of cities, they must content themselveswith a most unbeautifully planned districtwhich was rebuilt after the fire, sacrificing theideals of good planning to the selfish interestof the individual. The Londoner has ever sincebeen ashamed of his city's stand in the arg-u-ment against intelligent city planning. Thestory of his oprposition to a reasonably con-ceived and beautifully planned area, and of theenduring disappointment that his unplannedcity has been to him, should be sent far andwide to every American city which is nowstruggling with those who oppose tearingdown the old to mak e place rf^ the eI-W.

HIGHWAY TO HEAVENFALSE EMPHASIS

HE more one becomes familiar with the1 physical, electrical and chemical processes

taught in an engineering school, the morefaith one has in the ability of the new scien-tific tools to solve all the world's ills, to relievethe burden on human shoulders, and to makethe world a veritable paradise of mechanicaltime-savers. In his intoxication over the mira-cles that he can perform in the laboratory, thestudent sees unlimited vistas of a care-free so-ciety, in which man is the master of the ma-chine, opening up before him.

Perhaps his faith in the scientific approachand his facility in dealing with matter in vari-ous forms blinds him to the complete realiza-tion of the tremendous problems that the ma-chine has brought. He may be vaguely awarethat concomitant with the wide application ofelectric and steam power, the use of modernmethods of building construction, and the rev-olutionary effects of increased communicativeefficiency havte come problems that cut deeplyinto ou1rsociatl system structure. But he tendsto maintain the sentiment that science stilloffers the best remedy for the world's "sea oftroubles."

The student need not look far for examplesof maladjustment created by lack of intelligentuse of the tools and materials which have de-veloped with such amazing rapidity in the lastfifty years. Writers who present a glitteringpicture of the American home, with a bathtub, refrigerator, and central heating, distortreality. But a survey of American housing bythe editors of Fortune shows that less thanhalf the homes in America measure up to min-imum standards of health and decency. Badhousing conditions are not the only challengeto the engineer, sociologist, and city planner.Transportation is another feature of the mod-ern city which is presenting problems of in-creasing complexity.

It is a more balanced and healthy outlookif one recognizes that the effects of the ma-chine on civilization are not entirely on thecredit side of the ledger. One may then workmore earnestly toward a society in which theneeds and desires of each individual are moreadequately fulfilled and not be disillusioned byfinding that the path to heaven on earth is nota paved highway, lighted by the torch of ap-plied science.

TURNING THE TABLESALUMNI BANQUET

HAT the Technology alumni banquet held1 in Walker Memorial last Saturday eve-

ning should have brought with it a certainamount of discourteous behavior in smallgroups of the alumni was unfortunate. Theloud clapping and boisterousness at one or twoof the tables was inappropriate as well as dis-courteous to the speakers and to the glee clubmembers who entertained at the gathering.

A reunion of any sort is not inteded to be asolemn affair, and former classmates can beexpected to indulge in considerable convivalitywhen they meet again after being separatedin their professional and business activities.The occasion offers a chance for alumni to re-call their school experiences, and renew friend-ships, and live again for an evening in an at-mosphere of collegiate sociability. The oldgrads are perfectly justified, moreover, in go-ing out on a spree after an alumni dinner, ina further attempt to forget their present caresand revive the spirits of the "good old days."

But the few warm-hearted, back-clappingcronies, whose spirits rise particularly high ata reunion, should have the good sense and goodtaste to restrain their emotions to fit the dic-tates of propriety.

A favorite pastime of the older generationis damning the younger generation, often notwithout reason. There are rare occasions whenthe tables can be turned.

LONDON'S LESSONCITY PLANNER LOOKS AT HOUSING

RAT any adjustment of present housingT conditions in Boston will arouse bitter op-position is shown by the reaction in South Bos-ton, which has recently been chosen as the siteof a $5,000,000 government housing project.According to the Boston Press, "furore israised by the home plan", and "South Bostonfolks bitterly oppose the project." Logicallyenough, the expected question is raised, "Howmuch will we have to pay to live in these newhouses ?" Then follows an array of argumentsagainst making a change from present condi-tions to new ones. Those opposed to rebuild-ing the district climax their argument withthe statement that residents of South Bostonhave a deep and genuine love for the section.

Recognizing the weight of certain of thearguments against rebuilding, it is reasonablealso to consider the problem from the far-sighted, comprehensive outlook of the cityplanner. The city planner realizes from surveysthlat haive been made during the past twoyears. that dozens of American cities, rangingin Copulation from a few thousand to severalmillion, have large residential districts wheremresent housing facilities are entirely out ofdate and inadequate, that houses have beenstrewn in an unplanned jumble, with no facili-ties for amrks and recreational equipment, andthat little thought has been given to whatmight be termed the amenities of communitylife. Unplanned communities lack that whichin a well planned community fosters genuinepride on the part of the residents. Critics ofour social structure have followed with realapprehension the disintegration of the com-munity as a force promoting good living andgood government. Sociologists recognize thatthis country is faced with a major problem ofrestoring' to the community a service more sig-nificant than merely that of marking the phys-icpl boundary of a district.

A further question demands an answer. Howdo the people of South Boston know that the

ginning of the year, a number of ob-jections and suggestions were made.Among them it was suggested thatthe Institute Committee elections bedeferred so that the Council members

could become better acquainted witheach other, that the Council be re-clected at the beginning of the term,

and several others.

Incr edulityHe had a rubber ten dollar bill. He.

also had plenty of time and an ap-preciative audience. So he dropped-the bill in the middle of the floor inthe Main Lobby. Students passedit without giving it a second glance,or smiled at the obvious hoax. So hesubstituted a real one dollar bill.

As no one picked this up, the groupwhich had collected to watch the funcontributed several more dollar bills,and stacked them up in the middle ofthe floor. In all, there were abouteight dollars there, cold cash. Stu-dents and professors, one after the.other walked past, carefully avoiding-the money. We would like to tell youthat someone finally picked the moneyup. But no one did. However thathappens to be the kind of practicaljoke that only works once. But Nlehope someone tries it again when.'we're there!

Love and KissesWe have at times endeavored to,

prove to the general public that the!more potent emotions and impulses

may be reduced to mathematical iformulae and equations. So ve.

'weren't surprised when an esteemed,member of the Junior Board receive-

ed a Valentine from a "ScientificSweetheart". (Only a co-ed would

. dare to adopt that title.) As we werel saying, the young man was very much

impressed by the neatly drawn heartwith vectorially added forces piercinait. But the mathematical work was notso effective. The resultant of theforces at right angles to each otherw was established as one force multi-plied by the cosine of the included

· angle. Which is quite correct. WVret I therefore -conclude that the youngji lady is very impulsive in ffafiem

l'anmour, and is more interested ir

i getting the result she wants than irthe correct intermediate steps.

Lecture Given OnSeamless Tubing

J. P. Dods Demonstrates MakingOf Special Tubings

Before A. S. M.

Seamless tubing, its manufacture,.efinement and use, was the subjectof a lecture by Mr. J. P. Dods, a rep-rLesentative of the Summeril TubingGo. last Friday in Room 3-370. Mr.ijods described iln detail the processesU, sed in the manufacture and refine-ment of the tubing.

A round steel bar is heated untilplastic and then passed through a setof revolving rolls that cause it toprogress in a line parallel to the cen-ter about which it revolves. In thisforward progress it is forced over apiercing point supported by a mandreland in this manner a hole is formed.All the metal displaced passes intothe walls of the tube.

After piercing the bar is passedthrough a series of grooved rolls witha mandrel on the inside where in suc-cessive passes it is reduced both indiameter and wall thickness, the ex-cess metal going into length.

The product following this operationiv known as a hot rolled tube.

The next step is the drawing of thetube. The tube is pointed at both endsto permit insertation into the die andto provide a grip for pliers on thedrawing bench. In preparing thebillets for darwing it is absolutelyimperative that they be clean both in-side and out from scale and dirt. Thebillets are immersed in a hot acidsolution of just the right concentra-tion and temperature that it will workuniformly over the whole surface. Inorder to prevent pitting chemicalsknown as inhibitors are introduced tothe acid bath. Their purpose is toprevent the action of the acid from re-moving the surface of the materialafter the scale has been removed andat the same time not impair the effi-ciency of the pickling solution.

After pickling they are fully washedto remove and neutralize any remain-ing acid. After washing the billetsare dipped into a vat a drawing lubri-cant known as dope. This is the finalstep in the preparation and the billetsare now ready for the drawing opera-tion.

The billets are conveyed to a ma-chine known as a draw bench. Herethe pointed end of the billet is insertedin a die which is rigidly mounted inthe draw head of the bench. This diemay be of hardened tool steel for thefiner finishes is of cemented tungstencarbide. A mandrel is inserted in thetube and the tube is drawn.

After drawing the tube is anmealedand treated to the desired degree ofductility.

The tubing is used for such variedpurposes as hypodermic needles, air-craft alloys, radio cathode sleeves,and diesel feed lines.

Previous Dances UniqueThe Catholic Club has had in the

past many very unusual dances. Oncea bundle of old clothes was the admis-sion charge, which bundle was turnedover to charity. On St. Patrick's Day afew years ago an Acquaintance Dancewas held, to which were invited affili-ated organizations from other col-leges. This year they sponsored thenow famous Chemical AppraisalDance, where admission charges weredetermined by chemical analysis ofthe entrants. This proposed Anoma-lhstic Dance promises to continue the.tandlalrd of entertainment set byformer dances.

ahead by the slim margin of one

point, the score being 17 to 16. Then

in the second half, the Beavers put up

L rally which brought them well in the

lead and kept them there to the fin-

ish of the game.The game was marked by erratic

playing on part of both the teams,

Clark failing to show any high classplaying throughout the game. Tech's

; playing was marred by poor passinge during the game, but the Beavers

showed a strong scoring power. Theircenter, Dick Smith, was high scorer

: with the total of thirteen points.; This noon, eight Engineers will: leave by train in order to play Uniond College tonight at Schenectady, New

York. In this game, which is theteam's first game away from homethis season, Tech will find Union tobe a very formidable opponent. The

s men that the Beavers will have toe watch especially are Captain RayEL MacDowell, left forward, and Joe Mi-L- lano, center, who are the leadingt point-getters on Union's team, whichq is enjoying a successful season. Tech

will have to play hard in order to: make a good showing in this games Then Saturday night the Engineersn will meet New York University. Ine, spite of the fact that N.Y.Uo should

Fencing Team BeatenBy Harvard College

New Intercollegiate RulingTaxes Energy of Team

Confronted on Tuesday night with asuperior and more experienced Har-vard team, the Technology fencersperformed valiantly in the face ofoverwhelming odds only to go downto defeat in both the varsity andfreshman matches by the scores of 23-4 and 7-2. Captain Fenton of the Var-sity team declared that the meet didn'tgo badly when one considers the op-position that faced the team. "Har-vard," he said, "has the intercollegiatechampion epee team, and in additionto that, the team includes some goodfoil men, one of whom has won anintercollegiate championship. Theteam is furthered bolstered by the ad-dition of several veteran sabre men.""To add to all the other odds whichTechnology faced, each sabre andep6e man had to fence five additionalt:mes because of a new intercollegiateruling which decreed that 9 sabre and9 epde matches must be fought in eachintercollegiate fencing meet." Lackinga sufficiently large team, the wearyfencers had to spur themselves againstfresh opponents in more than ten ofthe matches. This fact largely miti-gates the severity.

The varsity team consisted of: foilDantona, Ozol, Toorks, and Fenlon;epie: Suarez, Bartlett, Fenlon; sabre:Suarez, Toorks, and Ozol. Ozol andToorks each won one match with thefoils; Fenlon and Suarez took a matchin the epee and the sabre.

In regard to the freshman meet-Coach Roth declared: "Harvard has

The starting lineup for Saturday'smeet will again lack the name of Ed.loyan, runner up in the New Englandintercollegiates last year. In his placeRicks will again enter Jervis Webb, asophomore who has capably handledthe berth in the previous meets.

ous to last year every dance since

1929 had been held in Walker, but the

committee, under the lead of WaiterH. Stockmayer, '35, conducted an in-vestigation and found that the major-ity of the students favored the danceaway from Technology. Accordinglythe Statler Hotel was chosen, and theresponse wras so enthusiastic that itwras decided to continue the customthis year.

To Choose Prom GalThe Junior Prom has always been

the most colorful social event at Tech-nology. Endowed with much tradition,it marks the climax of the social sea-son. In the past many publicity stuntshave been tried. The orchestra whichwas to play gave the students a sam-ple of their wares by means of vic-trola records. Free tickets wereraffled off. It is usual that someoneprominent in the theatrical world ischosen as Prom Girl. However, thecommittee, now busy with financialarrangements, has as yet made nodefinite provision for any noveltyfeatures.

After the meeting proper theFreshmen members held a short spe-cial meeting in regard to a freshmandebate schedule. It was decided to ad-journ the meeting until yesterdayafternoon. At that time Robert Treat,Jr., '38 was elected by unanimous con-sent general manager of the fresh-man debating team. It was decided toget in touch with Boston Universityin order to arrange a debate withthem for some time in the middle ofMarch on the subject of socializationof medicine. The team for this debatewill probably consist of Benjamin M.Siegel, '38, and Harold James, '38,and one other Freshman not yet de-cided upon.

Relative Costs of DatesHeatedly Discussed

The Debating Society favors dutchtreats on dates, according to a discus-

sion on that question which was thefeature of their last meeting, held

Tuesday afternoon in the Faculty Li-

brary in Walker Memorial. Paul W.

Stevens, '37, started the discussionwith an informal talk on the negative

side of the question, and interestedmembers promptly and rather heated-ly took issue with him.

Those arguing in favor of the status

quo made much of the point that chiv-alry demands that the man pay thebill. This contention was counteredby the claim that not only is chivalrydead, but that since woman is gainingequality with man in business sheshould also gain it in the matter ofpaying for entertainment received.Furthermore, it was pointed out thatmany girls felt themselves under ob-ligation to the men who had that eve-ning spent much money in order toshow them a good time. This stateof affairs is eminently unjust, accord-ing to those who argued it. In answerit was claimed that the girls mustspend much more on clothes for the

Aboard was put loudly into position be-low him, with an accompanying dia-logue that made it clear just what theobject was. However this board hadinstead of nails little slivers of tinfoil:utting up convincingly on its surface.

The blindfold was removed. A fash-light was played skillfully over theboard. With tears in his eyes, the fel-low on the ladder finally acceded tothe exhortations of the spectators,jumped-and collapsed in a faint.Example of the Fine Art of Deception

Up on the roof were several mengrouped around a lad with a blindfold-- the inevitable blindfold-over hiswondering eyes. Near them was oneedge, which fell off abruptly, not tothe ground far below, but only six orseven feet to the attached roof of anadjoining house - something quitecommon in Boston.

To this side was led the pledge,with the explanation that for variousreasons he was this night going tomake a jump into a fire net, maneuv-ering below. Commands rang out inthe air. "Bring it in a little." - "No,he'll miss it there." - "You'll haveto allow for the wind."

The crucial moment came, andafraid of nothing, our man boldlyhurled himself out. into the air, onlyto crumple up immediately upon the

Paddling-One of the Old Sports

Initiation without paddling would

be like potato chips without salt.

Rumor has it that fraternities got the

idea from relics of prehistoric caves,

tempered the old style to fit a muchmore highly advanced civilization, andmade the custom a universal by-law.

In more than one house about town,pledges carve their own under super-vision of the elders. They have tomake a really artistic job of it, too,with designs and all. Three or fourpaddles are acquired for each man,probably under the agreement that hemay keep the least splintered one fora memento.

Not so long ago, while a man was;running", there came to his advisors

a novel idea. A cake of ice was forth-with produced, and the initiate wagmade to seat himself upon said iceand coult, from 212 degrees to abso-lute zero. Having done so, he rose,bent over, and was paddled back againfrom absolute zero to 212 degrees.What he said after the process hadbeen repeated is not known.

Paddling is Made Into a Game

Another fraternity ran a contest inwhich the man who broke the mostpaddles during the conversion offreshmen would receive a prize- acharm, perhaps, or a lov~ing-cup. Thechampion was a veteran at the art, al-though his style was not at all com-plicated.
