THE TECH DARESTECHNIQUE TO ITSANNUAL CARNAGE

Newsroom Squad Will PrepareTo Do Up Foes In Old

Roman Fashion

INFIRtMARY TO PREPARE

With THE TECH challenging thesnivelling "Sneaquers to the annualgridiron roasting on November 26, theperpetual fog surrounding the yearbook office has turned to gloom- forall sneakers have placed orders forcoffins and made out their last wills.

Careful inquiry reveals that the de-pleted and scatter-brained staff ofTechnique is wholly incapable of pro-ducing a congregation of their unfor-tunates which would even resemble afootball team when compar ed withTHE TECH'S brawny, bruising,brainy, bone-breakiers.

'Sniquers Quake At ChallengeRecent tremblings of the earth which

have shaken Walker during the pastweek, have originated in the 'Sniqueoffice in the basement, where thosespineless snapshotters having beenquaking in anticipation of this chal-len-~e. Their frantic pleas for mercyhasve so stirred the newsmen that THETECH seriously considers allowing itspoor rival its choice of being over-whelmingly defeated in poker, bridge,or ping pong.

Even with this wide range of com-petition, the sneakers are hopeful offinishing second or third, if at all.In no event do the newsies considerit necessary for more than four mento make up their football squad, thisnumber being more than sufficient tohandle the entire Technique staff.

Infirmary Adds New RoomsIn preparation for the awful carn-

age, the Homberg Infirmary has addedeleven new rooms into which the vic-timns of THE TECH'S wrath will beplaced. The American Red Cross ismiaking plans to give first aid to allspectators who unwittingly ventureto close to the scene of the massacre.

TURNER SEES SLUMPIN MINING INDUSTRY

Says It H~as Reached Low Pointand Now Has Upward Trend

Dr. Scott Turner, director of theUnited States Bureau of Mines andpresident of the American Instituteof Mining Engineers, addressed ameeting of members of the organiza-tion living in and around Boston, anda group of students o~f Mining andMletallurgy from Tufts, Harvard, andTX. I. T. at a dinner Monday night inthe North Hall, Walker Memorial. Inhis talk Dr. Turner voiced the beliefthat although there has been a slumpin the mining industry, the secondlargest industry in the United States.The slide has reached its lowest pointand is now on the upturn.

A description of the work done bythe Unemployment Committee wasgiven by Mr. J. P. Alexander, head ofthe Emergency Research and Engi-necring Bureau of the A. I. M.

FACULTY MEETINGDECIDES TO FUND

SALARY RESERVEPart of Pay Will Be Used To

Guard Against PossibleBudget Deficit

CO-OPERATIVE PLAN MADE

A co-operative plan whereby thestaff and employees of. the Instituteare to contribute to a salary reservef und to guard against the deficit whichwill occur in case the year's incomeis further reduced, was announced byPresident Karl T. Compton followinga meeting of faculty last Wednesday.

This fund wnill be set up from twosources. The first consists of a de-posit of ten per cent of salaries orwvages, after deducting an exemption

lof S500, to be accumulated betweenDecember 1, 1932, and July 1, 1933,with the ulnderstanding that any bal-ance of this fund which has not beenneeded to meet the operating expensesof the Institute, be returned pro rata;at the latter date to those who have,contributed to it.I"Professors' Fund" Second Source|The second source is the "Profes-

jsors' Fund," wV}ich has been accumu-|lating for more than a year fromn the50 per cent contributions of incomeearned by members of the staffS forprofessional services rendered outsidethe Institute while it is in session.]The professors themselves have

voted that this fund shall be usedto set up a plan for leaves of ab-sence to enable members of the staffto increase their professional contactsand opportunities for research. Theyhave, however, nowv voted to put suchportion of this fund as may be re-quired to meet operating expenses atthe disposal of the Institute.

President Compton em~phasized thatthis is a precautionary measure toprepare for contingencies which arenot nowv in sight and which he hopeswill -not arise. Prudence demands thatsuch precautionary measures be tak-en in order effectively to meet thesituation if it should be necessary.

Not Considered As CutThere has been no reduction in sal-

aries at Technology, and this actionis not considered as a reduction, Pres-ident Compton stated. The corpora-tion has made every effort to main-tain salaries on the present basis,especially in view of the fact thatthe outside income of the staff,through various professional contacts,comes from a type of work which has(Cont~inued on 77(age f our)

At Midnight

At the'stroke of midnight twelvecadet officers of the- R. O. T. C. wereelected to membership in the Scabbardand Blade Society at the Military Ballheld last Thursday night in the mainhall of the Walker Memorial. Aboutone hundred couples were present todance to the music of Leo Reisman'sorchestra and celebrate the fourteenthanniversary of the signing of theArmistice.

The hall was appropriately decor-ated with various flags and sabreshung from the balcony. Two machine,,runs and two field guns Iere obtainedfrom the National Guard, adding aneffective nilitary atmosphere.

During the intermission, refresh-ments were served to all present. Thechaperones for the dance were officersof the Military Science Department ofthe Institute.

Associate Members ElectedBesides the new members, seven

associate members were elected, in-Icluding Captain Knight, Major Gat-lchel, Captain Johnson, ProfessorWaterhouse, Professor Zimmerman,Lieutenant Keller, and Lieutenant;Potter.l

The new members elected to ,the'Honorary Military Society wereRobert M. Emery, William E. Cole-man, Herbert A. Morriss, W~alter W.Bird, Albert G. Kern, William A.Baker, Winold T. Reiss, Raymond P.Holland, Aaron K. Dedcay, FrancisH. MacDuff, Richard M'artin and Mar-v~in J. Silberman.

ALPHA CHI SIGM~AAWARDS STUDENTS

Announcing t h e undergraduateawards of Alpha Chi Sigma, honorarychemical society, Professor Gill lastWednesday evening presented RobertDillon, '33, the Junior Award, annual-ly given to some outstanding seniormajoring in Chemistry or its relatedfields. Robert K. Kennedy, '35, re-ceived the freshman award of havinghis name inscribed on a plaque keptin the Chemical Reading Room.

The Junior Award is a year's mem-bership in the American Chemical So-ciety. Both awards are made by thefaculty and are on the basis of schol-arship and personality of the stu-dents. Dillon is taking the ChemicalEngineering Course while Kennedymajors in Electro-chemical Engineer-ing.I

Above is a facsimile of the pamphlet passed out in the Institute halls lastWednesday by staff members of "Voo Doo". Although the corridors were prac-tically littered with the circulars, THE TECH reproduces it above for thebenefit of those who for one reason or another have not read it, and are stillunder the impression that "Voo Doo" never has produced anything humorousand probably never will.

Many people who read the pamphlet expressed the opinion, following acomparison between the pamphlet and recent issues of the magazine, that25 cents should have been charged for the pamphlet and the magazine givenaway free.

The pamphlet was published on characteristic yellow. It was in all proba-bility written before "Voo Doo" was acquainted with the fact that Mr. Fos-sett had personally read and approved the article in question.

The Quadrangle Club will meet atthe Theta Chi House Wednesday nightat 8:30 o'clock. The dliscussion of theFreshman tie problem will probablybe brought up at this meeting. Sinceconsiderable publicity has been giventhis question in the last few weeks.

Monday's headline unmistakably reveals an attempt on thepart of the would-be news finders to create a feeling of ill will

between the two groups of undergraduates.

"The Tech's" motive glares through the flimsy news in the

article, once more showing the paper to be a mere outlet for theevil thoughts of a few illiterate, biased and uncontrolled children.In our estimation, "The Tech" is a great big net loss.

enough brains to laugh the thing off,in spite of this and that to the con-trary. However, in spite of Dicky-bird's proclamation, we have to notethat the so-called underdogs of the In-stitute are still dormant.

Before we close, some reference tothe excellent example of yellow journ-alism handed around by those scream-ingly clever boys who run the Insti-tute's supposedly humorous magazine!should be made. Well, 'we guess wegot a nice one to the button all right,all right, and all via the excrutiating-ly subtle genius of Danny Havens,which fairly shouted at your humblecorrespondent from the tiny yellowsheet.

The Lounger has a pretty mentalpicture of a motive glaring through aflimsy new article. What with dressesthe way they are and everything, thisis, no doubt, not beyond the ranges ofpossibility. Perhaps one of thosethings we can wait for, with the com-ing of beer.

Perhaps you noticed the beautifulirony of the statement which sayssomething about evil thoughts, illiter-ate, biased, and uncontrolled children.As New Yorker so aptly put it, we'resick of one and half a dozen of theother.

Then there is the sharp economicdivision of periodicals. One is led to0infer logically, that if THE TECH isa great big net loss, then the writerfondly supposed Voo Doo to be anequally great big gross profit. Weare inclined to agree with the "gross"part, but that's as far as it goes.

THAT HAUNTING PROBLEM0 NCE again it appears that the question of war debts with all

aits complexities will be thrown into Congress. Recent pressdispatches from Europe indicate that advances looking to a fur-ther reduction or a cancellation of debts have been made or willbe mnade by the debtor nations. Both. France and England havecommunicated with the United States, Greece has failed to makea payment due last Thursday, and Hungary has stated that it willbe unable to meet an obligation of $40,726 in principal and inter-est due on the 15th of next month.

President Hoover is returning to Washington where he willconsider the notes that have been received and discuss the situa-tion with cabinet members and congressional leaders. The in-elusion of expected war debt collections in the budget for thecurrent fiscal year complicates matters. In addition the last ses-sion of Congress overwhelmingly voted against further reductionsin foreign debt payments.

The whole question of war debts is bound up with those ofarmaments and economic conditions. There is a sentiment in theUnited States -against a furthers seduction or cancellation if themoney otherwise devoted to a payment of debts would be used toincrease war strength. This attitude is justified. On the otherhand there is she f act that improved economic conditions willcome bult slowly if the debtor nations must continue to staggerundleer the great load of debts. The problem facing the Adminis-tration and Conlgress is indeed a knotty one.

W~e have it straight from the sourceitself, that the Institute consumedexactly a pound and a 'half in justexactly forty minutes. Which re-minds us of Saranac, where t~hey saythat, while they don't knowv so muchabout the production, the consump-~tion is something terrible.

Before we let this thing rest, out ofdue and shocking modesty, we musttell you about the professor who must,unfortunately, remain unrecognizedin anonymity.

This worthy gentleman accepted theproffered jelly-bean, then -read thescriven emiblem, gravely. He turnedaway, contemplated the small sweet-meat, and then came back, holding itout to the unfortunate donlor, saying,"Here, I was wrong too." Then heleft, walking disconsolately into theelevator.

tor gven(er,,1ations"'The first of the month" used to be a time of

feverish activity for ledger clerks. But the BellSystem accounting staff -breaking away fromtradition -simplified the keeping of accounts andrendering of monthly statements to customers.

They applied a' modern system of rotafion bill-ing to the telephone business which now spreadsthis work evenly throughout the month. In co-operation with manufacturers, they devised specialtypewriters and bookkeeping machines. Thusthey did away with inefficient rush and achievedgreater accuracy, speed and neatness.

This is but one example of a point of view foundthroughout the Bell System. Even long acceptedroutine is constantly studied -it's always worthlooking for the more efficient way !

Commenting on freshmen ties, MissHunter believes that the freshmanclass should wear the insignia as amark of distinction. The girls, too,are willing to wear the school colors.On Field Day she and three other co-eds tried to get scarfs with Tech col-ors, but were unable to do so.

About her candidacy for class presi-dent she said, "They always try tomake a girl secretary. I'm tired ofbeing offered secretaryships." Shewas nominated for secretary of theUnity Club but declined.

Miss Hunter is the daugher of

Frederick H. Hunter, an alumnus ofthe Institute, and a former member ofits instructing staff.

To tire Editor of THE TECH:

Mr. Fossett's article in the Novem-ber T.E.N. is the statement of theman at the head of Institute under-graduate activities and for this reasoncarries much weight. His predictionsfor Technology in the future are veryinteresting and will doubtless invitemuch comment. It is unfortunate,therefore, that Mr. Fossett's com-ment on the relative merits of dormi-tory and fraternity men should havereceived the prominence that Monday'sissue of THE TECH gave it.

The efforts of the more enlightenedelements in both groups have been di-rected for a number of years towardsthe removal of the unhealthy and un-desirable sentiment which, they firmlybelieve, can relct only to the detrimentof Technology as a whole. We trustthat THE TECH has no idea of re-viving this issue - that in givingsuch undue prominence to the state-ment of Mr. Fossett, they did notforesee the consequences of such ac-tion. We have strong reason to be-lieve that Mr. Fossett had no inten-tion of raising this question whether or not one group is superiorto the other is a question that we be-lieve beyond the powers of any un-dergraduate.

The feeling of cooperation and good-will between the two groups hasgrown during the last few years andwill continue to grow. We trust thatunfortunate controversies such as this

one till not interfere with its pro-gress.

Runkleite InstallsMicrophone On Radio

Runkle again breaks into thespotlight, this time with a homebroadcasting contraption. Notsatisfied with standard broad-cast reception, one of the in-mates has installed a miniaturemicrophone attached to a regu-lar set. All the embryo CabCalloways, Ben Bernies, JimmieWallingtons, etc., will have achance to perfect their tech-nique; that is, unless the ob-jections advanced by the otherinmates prove too objectionable.

The experimenters startedMonday evening by placing theset on the window sill and con-versing with the passers-by be-low. After a few minutes apaper bag filled with water des-cended from the room above,and the set was removed to achair just inside the window.Broadcasting was not inter-rupted, however. Soon moreprecipitation of aqua occurred,and the window was closed, butstill broadcasting continued.

Co-ed Presidential Candidate In-terested in Outside

Activities

For the first time in the history ofthe Institute a girl has been nomin-ated for the position of class presi-dent. Miss Alice T. Hunter, one ofthe freshman co-eds, is listed amongthe nominees on the freshman electionballots.

Miss Hunter came to the Institutebecause she likes science and math."After six years in a girls' school, Ithink Tech is the swellest place ever,"Mliss Hunter said. She feels thatmore girls interested in science do notcome to Technology because they areafraid of the boys. She is in CourseV, intends to major in chemistry, andwants to do research in this field af-ter graduation.

As to class spirit, Miss Hunter doesnot agree with those who accuse -theInstitute of having no spirit. Tech-nology has long been said to lack theatmosphere which is supposed to existat other colleges. "From the thingsI've seen, there is as much spirit andactivity here as there is in some lib-eral arts schools," Miss Hunter said.She also observed that men who donot live in the dorms miss a lot ofthis. Conditions almost require thatcommuters take little or no part inactivities, because outside work doesnot start until five o'clock. Somethingshould be done to remedy this situa-tion, she stated.

According to Miss Hunter some ofthe co-eds are interested in gym work,but the gym is constantly in use, andthe apparatus is never available to
