TechnologyCanada with an enrollment of 28

students, 11% of .the total, stillmaintains its position as the largestsingle community in Technology'sforeign population. However, Cana-dian students have been decreasingsteadily in number for the past twoyears for in 1939 Canada had 47students at the Institute (18%),while in 1940 there were 46, repre-senting only 13% of the total.

Close behind Canada is Chinawith 26 representatives at the In-stitute, a decrease of 4 studentsfrom last year, and a decrease of 14from 1939. Germany, with 20 stu-dents, most of whom are refugees,occupies third position.

Third MicrofilmExhibition To BeHeld In Library

Latest DevelopmentsWill Be Shown ByEta Kappa Nu Men

An exhibition of microfilm equip-ment and its uses will be displayedin the Central Library beginningtoday and will continue from 9:00A.Ms. to 9:00 P.M. every day untilFriday, November 28. Interest shownin microfilm exhibits during thepast two years has prompted therenewal of the exhibition this year.

Microfilm, a new development inthe field of photography, is usedwidely to condense printed matteron small plates, thus making feas-ible its preservation in a smallspace. Because of its ability to rec-ord observations quickly and ac-curately, it also has extensive scien-tific and industrial use. Microfilmis at present being used in the Tex-tile Laboratories here at theInstitute.

142 Mien To Make Excess PrecipitationDrowns Luckless Frosh

With water flying, spotlightsgleaming, radios blaring andmerciless upperclassmen cheer-ing, hapless '45 men pa-raded around the dormitorycourt last night in grim, butnot mute, testimony of theprevalence of rodents amongfreshmen.

Although in true DesperateDesmond style they were re-peatedly nailed, the routinewas the same as all other dormriots since time immemorial,1861. The casual observer mightdraw the conclusion that in-genuity and imagination do notflourish in a population spring-ing from rats.

measures, a tax of ten per cent must

be added, bringing the total cost to

$4.35.

Some time next May, it was an-!nounced, the options are to be re-deemed for about $9.00 or $10.00.This uncertainty is due for the most lpart to the various State as well asFederal taxes which must be inves-tigated before a final decision canbe made.

Tyree Urges Early Purchases

"Buy at this time," said SheppardYoung Tyree, Jr., '42, Senior WeekCommittee Chairman, "for the bestbudget, the best entertainment andthe best Senior Week can be ar-ranged if the Seniors cooperatewith the committee and buy early."

Hans Flegenheimer, '43, secretaryof the Technology InternationalClub. died last Wednesday morningin the Deaconess Hospital. Suffer-ing from a brain tumor, he had beenill for a month previous to hisdeath.

A dormitory resident, Flegen-heimer was registered in the Insti-tute's five year course in MarineTransportation. Born in Soest, Ger-many, on April 1, 1921, he moved toThe Hague, Netherlands, in 1933,and to the United States in 1938.He graduated from the RooseveltHigh School in Seattle, Washington,and entered Technology as a fresh-man, with the class of 1943.

He earned his class numerals asmanager of last year's victoriousSophomore Field Day tug-of-warteam. He was interested in promot-ing good Will among the variousraces and as such was active in theInternational Club. He was also amember of the Propeller Club.

.The annual Well-Tech BarnDance is to be held on Saturday,December 6, from 8:00 to 11:30 P.M.in Alumnae Hall at Wellesley Col-lege. The dance, sponsored by theT.C.A., is open to all freshmen andSophomores, although the size ofthe hall limits the number of menwho may attend to 150.

Transportation will be providedfor all who wish to avail them-selves, according to publicity chair-man G. Kendall Parmelee, '45.F'urthetr details are to be announcedlater.

Two hundred seventy three for-eign students from all parts of theglobe, representing 53 countries, areregistered at the Institute, accord-ing t3 statistics recently compiledby the Foreign Student Departmentof the T.C.A. in conjunction withthe Information Office. This showsa decrease of 81 students and onecountry from last year, and is iden-tical with the enrollment for 1939.

Tuesda'y, Nov'eber 25, 19j4Pag6e - Two - -'--

For Bo~ysi~ ~ ~ b Stwr Row .a. n

In' spite of the combination of

Thainks~g-iving and thielHarvard-Yaile

week-end to make available dates

scarce, Technology social life, -or

those who stayed within B3oston-'s

sacred boundaries, was not lacking

in the amenities which make exist-

ence ill this mortal coil not unbear-

able, nay even enjoyable.

Before we mention anything else,

we should say something about the

Theta Chi dance. Theose few who

can do without liquor certainly en-

joyed it; those who can't paid a

short visit or two to Stempf's apart-

ment and enjoyed it too. At least

that is the impression we got.

One place that Tech men seem to

be missing is the Boston Arena.

Practically every night there is

public ice-skating down there, on a.

rink somewhat larger than a hockey

rink, and quite thoroughly crowded.

But it is ice, and much more fun

than going around in ci. cles on

eight little wheels. There is suffi-

cient room for comfortable skating,

but any attempt at speed winds up

against a crowd of kids slowly crawl-

ing around the oval. A little wet

if you don't keep your feet.

A hasty reconnaissance of local

frolic spots taken during the

scholastic slack of the past Wednes-

day to Monday week-end showed

surprisingly little of interest and

almost nothing of novelty.

Best entertainment bets are still

the hotel rooms: Somerset's Bali-

nese Room; Sheraton Room of the

Copley, and Terr ace Room in the

Hotel Statler.

Rising for comment is the often

redecorated, re-named and re-

opened-former Zero Hereford, in

the rear of the Fox and Hounds.

New again this year is the interior

but still the same are the prices-

high. The cocktail lounge of the

Fox and Hounds with 'Lar ge fire.

place and crackling logs, leather

lounge seats and the congenial

Freddie and Nina is still an A-1

place to drink a few hours away.

Good too, along this line, are the

two lounges of the Parker House.

One an the lobby floor; the other

up, right near the loof--with a

glassed-in, steam heated view of

"Boston at Night"-ugh.

Ray-marond Scott, in our opinion

one of the best interpreters of mod-

ern American music, is still at the

Bermuda Terrace of the Brunswick

and is a bet in entertainment which

shouldn't be missed. It is also some-

thing which can be considered nec-'

essary from the point of view of

keepinwg abreast of contempo ary

musical evolution.

Cinema Palaces ( ?) Of Boston-

those garish examples of 1928 archi-

(Continudc( onl Pagse 4).

The unmannerly attitude of the studentsis another expression of this regrettable habitinto which the student body has fallen. Be-cause of Technology's standing and entrancerequirements, almost all of the students with"-out exception have had family training andbackground above the average so that thereis no excuse for the ill-manners displaye-d inthe classroom and lecture hall.

We hope that Technology students are notof the low caliber that these conditions indi-cate, but the evidence is all on the wrong side.

ASLEEP BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"Foiled by Nature" or "Why Technology

Will Have To Wait Until Spring To ObtainIts Beaver Mascot" has been chosen as thetitle to the wild life saga concerning that elu-sive "Bronze Rat" whose arrival has beenpredicted so of ten in the past.

The latest reports from the wilderness ofNew Hampshire seem to indicate that thegame wardens have given up the chase. Notbecause this erudite broad-tailed mammal istoo clever for man, but because nature hasstepped in to play a decisive role. Hiberna-tion. Like the bear, his big first cousin, thebeaver-our clever mascot-holes up for thewinter, leaving man to suffer in the wintryNew England blasts.

For this reason, the Institute will have to

go mascotless until spring, although our wildlife experts assure us that they have locatedthe hideout of one of these forest denizensand are prepared to nab him as soon as hesticks out his nose.

FRANKLY IT IS TERRIBLEThe manners and dress of the Technology

student body are deplorable. Attempts havebeen made to build up school spirit and ac-tivity interest among a greater number ofthe students but the old excuse that thereisn't sufficient time is invariably offered.However, there ca;n be no justifiable excusein this case.

M. I. T. is unique in that it is a city schooland that it has the reputation of being one ofthe finest engineering schools in the country,but by no interpretation can this be twistedto give the students a right to be- so slovenlyand ill-mannered. And no students, individ-ually or as a class, are so brilliant that theyhave the privilege to sacrifice a neat appear-ance and gentlemanly behavior.

Visitors at the Institute, and there aremany these days because of national defense,do not receive a favorable impression of thestudent body as judged from comments thatthey have made. -And if the point has beenreached 'where strangers will remark aboutthe situation. it is time to do somethingabout it.

There can be no excuse for students to goabout the halls with several days' growth ofbeard and in rough hunting shirts. This isnot a lumber camp, it is a city school. 'Weare not advocating a school of stuffed shirts,but every student owes it to the Institute togo to class neat and clean and then act in agentlemanly manner after he arrives. Cer-tain laboratories may demand old workclothes, but the student should have enoughpride to stay out of the main buildings wherehe will come in contact with outsiders.

The freshmen are frequently chief con-tributors to the slovenly appearance of the,student body, which indicates that they re-ceived the wrong impression upon theirarrival at the Institute. Freshman ties cutoff at half mast arefar to numerous. Newties can and should be purchased at the Coop.

A Competitor For WarEditor, The Tech,

Dear Sir:

On Monday, November 24, there appeared inCambridge and all over this country, ChristmasSeals bearing the double-barred cross, the emblemof tuberculos s prevention work throughout theworld. This year the seal holds special significancefor the lighthouse represents a timely warningsignal in a dangerous world.

A glaring spotlight is thrown on the menace oftuberculosis in times like these. Not only has thedisease always in past periods of stress flared upand spread, but the comparison of fatalities ofwar and tuberculosis shows startling facts.

In the last year tuberculosis killed approxi-mately 10,000 more Americans than were killed inaction or died from wounds received in action,during the First World War.

Best available figures on the number of Amer-icans killed in action, or died from wounds re-ceived in action, in all the wars the United Stateshas fought since 1776 show a total of 244,450. Inthe four-year period, 1937-1940, tuberculosis killed245,668.

Civilian air-raid casualties in England during aten-month period in 1940-1941 were approximately36,000. During a comparable ten-month periodtuberculosis took 50,000 lives in the United States.

The timely warning signal from the 1941 Christ-mas Seal is the knowledge that there is need formore wide spread information and an alertness toa possible serious situation. When everyone inthis country understands what tuberculosis is, howit attacks and how it kills, he will not remaincomplacent about this killer and will do all in hispower to keep this disease at a minimum.

The Cambridge Tuberculosis and Health Asso-ciation carries on throughout the entire year anationally approved program for the control andfinal eradication of tuberculosis. Part of the fundsraised here support a state and national programfor tuberculosis control while the local programincludes education both with individuals and or-ganizations, rehabilitation of ex-tuberculosis pa-tients, a case finding program, negro health work,nutrition service and the maintenance of a sum-mer health camp for tuberculosis contact children.

This is the only time during the year when thetuberculosis fighters make an appeal for financialsupport to carry on a campaign that saves ourlives, our health and our happiness. ChristmasSeals long ago wrote their value in the victoriesthey have supported over the disease.

To end their fall season theBeaver racketeers have been in-vited for the Itercollegiates, atNew York, where they will makethe acquaintance of such doughtyopponents as Purdue, Stevens Tech,and Army, with a possible set offurther matches with Duke. Ofthese teams, Clint Kemp, the man-ager, stated that the team is con-fident of beating the first twosquads, while the Army game wilbe anybody's match, and Duke israted as -one of South's strongestcombinations.

New Coaching System"A new system of coaching for

the freshmen has gone into opera-tVon this semester, the success ofwhich will," said Clint Kemp, "beshown in the results of their gamesin the M.S.R.A. in the next fewweeks."

This new system, he explained,was more efficient than the old.Freshmen out for squash were toldto send in their schedule cards andtwelve freshmen with the same freeperiod were told to come at thattime for coaching. Two classes aweek are held for each man till thefrosh coach thinks that one periodof coaching is enough for the per-son concerned.
