Well Aimed Kick AvertsCatastrophic Explosion

It is something to go toheaven. But one is really notjustified in trying to takeothers with him if they do notcare to go along. So when theywrote a sign to put in the win-dow of Room 6-134, saying"Danger. Hydrogen. No smok-ing or lights," they meant it?Accordingly, when one of thosefreshmen absent mindedly leaned against the door and smoked his old briar, a good swift hick was forthcoming. The wvould-be angel pulled him- self together and slipped away. Harold Gerry, the fellow whoiis doing all the work with the hydrogen isotropes, came to5the door to see what caused the5(excitement. But they saved him a few more gray hairs by

Inot telling him.

Animal KingdomApproves T.C.A.

Drive HeartilyIsochronoldometer, a Turtle and

Family of Fish SupportT.C.A.

Over thirty members of the under-graduate student body who volun-teered to aid in the TechnologyChristian Association's annual di ivefor contributions which support itsseveral departments, are already ac-tive throughout the rank and file ofthe students. The drive, whichstarted yesterday, will be concludedon Friday, November 3.

An isochronoldometer mounted atthe T. C. A. table in the Main Lobbydisplays the support affoided thedrive by members of tne animalkingdom. Emma and Jim of the fishfamily, and Reginald, the dog, shou-enthusiasm as controlled by thephoto-electric mechanism.

Machine Shows HeartbeatsThe technical explanation of the

machine is rather complicated: Jimn'sand Emma's hearts beat in unison,producing a series of impulses whichare picked up by a microphone, thenntransmitted to a relay which causesa light to blink. Rollo a turtle crawlsup the side of his bowl and tries toshield a photo-electric cell, but he isusually unsuccessful and the photo-electric cell actuates a relay whichsends electrical impulses to an electro-magnet. The magnet pulls the woolfrom in front of Reginald's eyes andhe sees the redish orbs of Rasputin.a rat, and emits barks which arepicked up by a nmicrophone and sentto a machine which translates theminto English by lighting up a signreading, "Support the T. C. A."

The budget, the basis of thedrive, is composed as follows: Techcabin S900, employment bureau S550,freshman camp $450, office S325,ticket service S200, information S200,handbook 8200, book exchange S150,contributions $100, conferences $100,foreign students S100, boys' churchrelations $75, freshman cabinet $50,deputations $50, and miscellaneous$59.

Prohibited

Elections of all the freshman classofficers and members of the JuniorProm Committee will be held tomnor-row, in the Main Lobby and in aroom assigned for the purpose inRogers. The polls open at 8:30 to-miorrow morning, will remain open-until 5:30 in the afternoon.

Electioneering Prohibited.The ballots will contain a list of

thle nominees, grouped according tooffices arid arranged in alphabeticalorder. The voter on entering thepolls fills out the ballot at a screened

[tbooth, drops the upper portion intothe ballot box, and give the lowerportion containing his signature tothe attendant at the exit. On tle

[~ballot he numbers the candidates inthe order of his p reference.

kv s pointed out in the Undergradu-, ate Constitution, there will be no vot-~;ing by proxy. All forms of election--,eering at the polls, andl any attempt'to form voting blocks is prohibited.-Preferential System of Toting-In counting the ballots the so-

,called preferential system is used.A list of first choices for the office inquestion is made. The man with thelowest number of first choices is dis-qualified, and the individual vote ofeach man who has voted for 'him isgiven to the second choice as indi-cated on the ballot. If no second

Itchoice is indicated the vote of thatman has no further meaning in theelection..

The same method is employed untilthe competition is finally narroweddown to two men, and the one withthe greater number of votes is chosenwhile the second is made alternate.When two men are elected to an office,such as to the Institute Committee,the candidates are narrowed down toa group of three. Of these three, theman having the highest number of votes becomes one of the officers. Hisvotes are then distributed by thepreferential system between the othertwvo candidates. Of these two, theone having the largest number ofNotes is elected.

The ballots will contain the namnesof all the candidates who are in therunning. Several names are omittedbecause of the fact that the nomina-tion papers were incorrectly filled out.

,IDancing to the offerings of SammyLiner's popular orchestra, 271 couplesattended the Field D~ay Dance givenby the Dorm Dance Committee lastIlriday evening from 9 to 2 o'clock,in the Main Hall of Walker Memorial.

A particularly appropriate innova-tion was introduced in the method ofdecoration. Freshman and Sopho-'more gloves and freshmen ties takenfrom the field of battle, formed thefigures "36" and "7-6," thus announc-ing the victor and score of the day'sbattle.

A fierce glove fight victory enabledthe Sophomores to break a 6-6 dead-locki andl nose out the determined firstyear meal hn the annual Field Daybattle on Tech field last Friday after-nool1. The freshmen lost by a marginof 23 gloves, the final score ill theglove fightt standing 101 to 78 infavor of the second year mzen.

Although the Sophomores had acomfortable mnargin of 6 points dur-ing, the earl y pal t of the afternoonby virtue of victories in the crew andrelay races, the freshmnen came backstl ongly to capture the last twoevents, football and tug,-of-war andtie the score as both classes enteredthe final contest. The football gamewas won after a hard battle by ascore of 13 to 0.

Both classes, } ealizing that thefield day victory rest-ed oil the glovefight, entered the struggle with afirm determination to win. This at-titude showved itself timie and againduring the melee as the men madesuper-human efforts to retain glovesor snatch others from their ad-versaries.

Only ten cases of eggs were thrownby the combatants, but a greatvariety of other missiles was evident.Both classes resor ted to tomatoes,oranges, cabbages, bananas, squash,and fish, all of which had long agoseen their best days.

PUT MATTER TO-WORK FOR POWER

Prof. Wiener Writes Articlein Technology Review

This Month

We have an excellent copy ofTechnology Review before us: thecopy for~ November of this year. Thn-two notable contributions are both b3lInstitute mnen. Professor Norber.-Wiener has written "Putting Matter-to York" for this number, and Pro-fessor F. Alexander Magoun has constributed "Training for Leadership.':which has for a subtitle the interest.ing question, "Are weaklings bred b.--our modern scholastie system?"

Professor Wiener has written resume of all the possible sources ancmeans of storage of power. Frotrthe basis of his analysis he showsquite conclusively the necessity ofatomic power (or some other equallyconcentrated form ) to the furthedevelopment of industries.

It is very difficult to prove sucrassertions as Professor Magour,makes in his article, at least to provethem to the good American democrats.Perhaps if his ideas could be proved-1their common-sense would be recog-nized. He seems to be associatedwith that school which holds that-education should be by interest ratherthan by compulsion. We know-which method we prefer. There is nosuch thing as interesting work.

We Like Coffee. We Like TeaApropos of these stories the boys

will insist on bringing us concerningMr. Longley and the coeds, we guessthat we rate just as high as any ofthem, we do.

Almost immediately after the pub-lication of the last squib, MissHunter herself approached us witha welcoming smile. "You know," shesaid confidingly, "all the girls thoughtthat, since you handle most of thegossip, Vog would be better equippedf or Cleofan."

We took her right up on it, too,but shucks, she backed out when wesaid we wvouldn't play unless we couldcaptain.

However, maybe things would beall right if we invited Cleofan intothe Lounger. One story a day, andgood clean dirt, too. How about it,girls ?

-o-Banquet

We f eel that we have reached thezenith, the absolute climax of acareer but hardly begun. Nothingmaore can matter, nothing more cancount, it is all trivial compared tothis, the high point of life.

For the first time, we went throughthe agony of being the toastmaster ata real live banquet, even if it washeld by THE; TECH.

Perhaps none of our readers haveever experienced the glow of right-eous, pride which accompanies the in-vitation, and then the debasement ofan utter futility as one rises for thefirst time before an expectant andhilarious mob-and tells a story theyall know.

And then there is that small groupof raucous souls who sit right in themiddle of things and wait until yougIet to the part "Gentlemen"-atwhich they quietly start somne rollick-ing little tune f or the r est to pickup.

We did think wie had them, butthis was only at one point. Therearose a great epidemic of napkinthi owing. The august toastmasterrose to his feet to deliver some timelybon mot, after an outbur st of thisspontaneous song. Barely were weon our feet when a beer-soaked mis-sile whizzed by. Several eyes gleamedwith that unholy light which heraldsdisaster to the speaker.

"All l ight boys, go ahead if youmiust, but remember,"' we told themsternly. "One more napkin and twothousand people will laugh at you onTuesday."

Immediately about three thousandnapkins buzzed and :murmuredviciously around our ears. We ad-mitted to ignominious defeat, but dous a favor, dear reader, please, andthe -next time THE TECH muan passesjust give him a good long horse laugh,will you? We hate to go back on ourword.

price of gold in pounds sterling rises, and the ratio of$4.80 per pound is restored.

4. R. F. C. buys more gold.a, 6, 7, etc., this cycle repeats until the United States and

Britain possess all the monetary gold in the world.But long before this happens, France and other nations declarean embargo on gold exports. That is, they go off the gold stand-ard.

Now here is an interesting situation. With every nationoff the gold standard, what measuring stick shall be used to de-termine the relative value of tie currencies of the various nations.Obviously, without a measuring stick of some kind, the only kindof international trade which can be carried on is barter.

International trade by barter is a necessary consequence ofeconomic nationalism carried to its conclusion. World trade bybarter means very little world trade; means the division of theworld into a few large economically self-sufficient units; meansa lower standard of living; and means intensified internationalcompetition for natural resources, which will tend to result inwars.

RKO KEITH'S

"After Tonight"

Is Constance Bennett on her waydown? If "After Tonight," which isnow playing at RKO Keith's, is anyexample of the scenarios which areto be given to her in the future, theanswer is, yes.

The entire blame cannot be put onthe story, however. It must beshared by the supporting cast as wellas Miss Bennett herself. Althoughshe acts in her usual rather sophisti-cated manner, and even sings a littlein a sleepy contralto, not good, yetnot unpleasant, her entire perform-ance lacks verve and will. Herleading man likewise seems to be ableonly to look stern and amorous, in anice way.

The plot is the well-known "spyin the War, my God where will webe tomorrow" stuff at first, but itsettles down to the old saw of a man"torn 'twixt love and duty."

The show has its fair points, how-ever. There are some amusingmoments in the earlier scenes, and, inspite of all its poor qualities, it islight entertainment.

With only four andone half minutes of actual dancingtime, she intrigues the audience be-yond description.

The cinema feature, "Saturday'sMillions," is another of those footballpictures. The lead is given to LeilaHyams supported by Robert Young.Unfortunately the picture does notlive up to the expectations of one whois acquainted with the original serialwhich appeared in "The SaturdayEvening Post." As usual, the modi-fications to the plot have weakenedrather than strengthened it.

DIG DOWN

BACK in 1929 the T.C.A. quota was overscribed by more than athousand dollars. True, those were prosperous days, but

does the T.C.A. do any less now than it did then? And besides,the T.C.A. budget has been reduced by approximately twenty-fiveper cent since that year. It is quite all right to cut down onluxuries and such during depression years, but necessities aredifferent; they are just as necessary as they always were, theT.C.A. included. In consequence of all this, then, is it necessaryto ask the student body to aid the T.C.A. a little more than at firstthought was considered for this year?

Before we dismiss the soliciting agent with the least possibleexpense, let us consider briefly what the T.C.A. does. While somefreshmen may not be familiar with all the activities and servicesof the organization, they have all heard of the handbooks andFreshman camp. The rest of us know about the book exchange,the ticket service, blotter supply, lectures, Tech cabin, social ser-vice and employment bureau.

Yesterday marked the official start of the drive, but we havemeans of knowing that the first contributions from students werereceived last Thursday, to be precise, from the men engaged in thesoliciting work, who no' only give their valuable time to the drive-they happen to be the men about the campus whose time is

really valuable-buat also make contributions certainly not smallerthan those they are asking the students to give. Some of theircontributions were fairly large. We wonder, will the rest of theschool do them one better?

DANGEROUS DOLLARS

THE United States Government, through the R. F. C., is goingT to buy gold in the foreigin market. This step is the logicalcorollary to President Roosevelt's monetary policy. Obviously theguidance of the gold value of the dollar by speculators and byBritain's Exchange Equalization Fund could not be permanentlysatisfactory to the Administration.

But this act of our Administration threatens dangerous con-sequences-nothing less than a currency war between the UnitedStates and Britain.

Suppose President Roose-velt wants a ratio of $4.86 to thepound, and the British Government decides to maintain a presentratio of S4.80 per pound. Lets tabulate what follows.

1. R. F. C. buys gold in the foreign market.2. Gold now costs more dollars per ounce, and it takes $4.82

Dealing the most surprising blow of the entire Field Day program, the

under-rated freshman football team outplayed their Sophomore rivals in

practically every department of the game, to win by the score of 13-0. The

fighting first year men, scoring twice while they held their opponents score-

less and tied up the Field Day score at six-all by their victory, with only

the glove fight remaining to settle the issue of supremacy between the Sopho-

mores and freshmen. Considering the fact that the team was outweighed

and lacked the experience of their rivals, the men should be congratulated

for the unexpected spirit and real Technology fight which they exhibited.

Coaches McIver and Selvidge, of the first-year men, did an

excellent job in preparing their squad for the Field Day game in

such a short training period. Likewise, Coaches Eagan and Sayles

of the Sophomores did an excellent piece of work in coaching the

i£second year men, but it was just not the day for a Sophomore vic-

tory. The freshman line proved far superior, and together with Jim

Newman's excellent broken-field running was the deciding factor in

the triumph.

7 'The freshman tug-of-war squad exceeded the expectations of their most

enthusiastic supporters in winning their event ill two straight pulls. This

was a pleasant surprise for the first year men entered the event as under-

dogs. Getting the jump in the first pull, the freshmen had -no trouble in

defeating their rivals; in the second pull, however, they had a more difficult

time of it, the advantage alternating between the two sides. But finally, in

spite of their bad form, which was somewhat better than that of their rivals,

the freshmen pulled the Sophomnores over to their side, after 56 seconds of

struggling.

The most exciting event on last Friday afternoon was the relay

race, which was enough to cause a lull in the egg-throwing betweenthe rival classes. The Sophomores did not gain the winning leaduntil the tenth man received the baton, and even then they mustthank the fact that McClellan, the fastest freshman in the timetrials, was absent because of a back injury. According to Coach

Oscar Hedlund, "It would have been a different story if McClellan

had been in there." The lead changed places about six or seven

times until Hitchcock, the ninth Sophomore to receive the baton,

passed his rival. Runkel and Brown opened the distance between

the two sides and Johnson was able to breeze in twenty-five yards

in the lead, in the winning time of 4-563,/5.

Soccer Team Loses 1-0 WhenBemis Scores for Brown

in Last Period

Defeating itself with a goal by

Bemis, substitute halfback, was the

unique happening encountered by the

soccer team last Saturday, as it lostto the Brown eleven, 1 to 0.

The "goal," which came late in the

last period, climaxed a brilliant hard-fought game, in which the consistentperformances of both goalies was a

shining feature. Time and again the

forwards of both elevens would drive

hard shots at the cage, only to find

them skillfully blocked by Kaiser or

Tolman. Kaiser, bruised from a col-

lision with a Brown forward, insistedon remaining in the game, and though

unable to even bend forward, stoppedevery shot except the tallying pointby Bemis.

To be fair to Bemis and the Engi-neers, the mistake was one whichcould have been made by anyone.During the scrimmage around theTechnology cage, with about eightminutes to finish the game, the sub-stitute halfback aimed a shot back atthe X. I. T. offense, only to have itbound off his toe into the Technologygoal.

Captain Hansen, Hamilton, andEssley contributed sterling perfoi m-ances for the Beavers, while 'Murray,Allen, and Dyer starred for theRhode Island eleven. Lineups were:

More Than 70 Participate inOuting and Dance at

Lincoln

Corporation XV's hayride enjoyeda huge success last Saturday night.Thrills and chills added zest to theexcitement of the evening.

Even before the students piled intothe four wagon-loads of hay, a flurr-of excitement was caused by a smallfire in one of the cars. The studentsexperienced an even greater th illIhowever, when one of the horsesdrawing a load of boys and girlsstopped in the middle of the railroadtrack as a train was coming. Bysome good fortune the horse was notstubborn, and after a few "clucks"he resumed his way across the tracks.

Wrapped in furs, sweaters, andblankets, and seated comfortably inthe cold-resisting hay, the studentsdid not mind the brisk cold of the trueOctober evening as they were drawnslowly over the backroads of Lincoln.The usual quiet of the country roadswas broken by gay song andlaughter.

Aftel the ride, the party was con-tinued in the meeting hall near theLincoln railroad station. The youngpeople warmed themselves before theopen fire, and consumed doughnutsand cider. A phonograph and a piano,sometimes both in use at the sametime, furnished music for dancing.Between dances the couples toastedmarshmallows on long sticks at thefireplace.

At the close of the evening a grandmarch was held to select the bestcostumes. The winners, attired infarmer's costumes, received a cow'shoof as a pi ize.
