..By President E. G. Koch

The U.S.S.R. has her satellites.The United States does not.U.S.S.R. schools are training nearlytwice as many scientists and engi-neers as are being trained in theUnited States, and U.S.S.R. scien-tists and engineers are not secondraters. If we are to maintain ourposition in the sun, we have todecide where we are going andwhen we expect to get there.

One solution is to train morescientists and engineers. Anotheris. to be sure that our scientistsand engineers are top quality, whichmeans top quality educationalstandards and rigorous attention toaccomplishment. As an engineer-ing school, M.S.M. has a big stakein this undertaking. Also, one wouldsuppose that students at M.S.M.would be serious and determinedto be the best engineers whichstudy and hard work could produce.However, that seems not to be thesituation, as evidenced by the mid-term grades released recently. Thesegrades indicate that the large ma-jority of students of every classlack both the scholarly attitude andthe scholarly attainment necessaryto high quality professional devel-opment. '

Where AreWe Going?

EditorialIf you have been downtown lately, you may have noticed

many business places with orange and green cards in the win-dow which read "Weare School of Mines Boosters." Thesecards indicate that the business establishment displaying themhas purchased an ad in one of the school publications. Wewould like to. urge the students and faculty to "boost the boost-ers." There are several good reasons for doing so:

The businesses who bought ads for the Magma or Ampli-fier did so partly as a gesture of good will towards the school.One good turn deserves another.

Businessmen will be much more inclined to support theschool when they can see the results of their advertisements.When you visit an establishment which displays a MinesBooster card, mention that you saw it. The school brings atleast $1,000,000 into Butte each year in addition to the moneyspent by families, and friends of students who live in Butteor vicinity. The more the school supports the advertisers, themore advertisers will support the school.

Without ads, the cost of the Amplifier and the Magmawould be prohibitive. Every dollar taken in by the sale of adsis a dollar saved for the student body.

It should be obvious, then, that the school and the down-town businesses must support each other for the mutual bene-fit of both. The most big-hearted businessman will be reluctantto buy an ad if it proves unprofitable to do so. Need I say more?

Effective study cannot be donein an unstudious atmosphere. Everyhour in the classroom requires ofthe average, serious student twohours of study and preparation. Thismeans that study hours must beobserved and study habits perfected.It means that quiet hours mustbe quiet and that every student mustspend his study hours studying.1t means that there is no place atM.S.M. for those who do not sub-scribe to this attitude' and thisapproach. No college is a play-ground and no playboy should bein college.

Mid-term grades constitute a sortof progress report. Let us all takeheed lest the final report be un-progressive.

Butte's First Building

A primitive structure of rock and limb was the firstbuilding erected in Butte. It was a crude shelter, probablyhastily thrown together by the gold-seeking pioneers Wil-liam Allison and G. O. Humphreys.

These men, Butte's first permanent settlers, built in thespring of 1864 in what became known as Baboon Gulch andnear the present site of the Butte High School.

T. C. Porter, one of Butte's first citizens, recalled in 1896that his party put up a cabin in the fall of 1864 and addedthat they were a few days behind Allison and Humphreyswho apparently had improved their original home or hadbuilt another.

The Porter cabin figured prominently in Butte's earlyhistory, for it was here that Dr. Anson Ford, later first post-master, nomed the camp "Butte," and it was here that JoeRamsdell lived. Ramsdell shipped the first copper ore outof the camp--to Swansea, Wales.

Enclosed, please find $1.50 for mysubscription to The Amplifier. I likeseveral things about your new news-paper. Mainly, they center aroundyour working toward original scien-tific and engineering thinking andhumor.

For instance, in this November19 issue, the guest editorial "TheThreat of Soviet Tech~ology"showed good selection of a thinkpiece. "Love Letters in the Cotton;Pickin: Sand" w~s wonderful if orig-inal With the writer, but fairly goodeven as a steal. I'd suggest youput sources on all material.

This fast-moving tournament wasmuch smaller than in former years,with only forty teams from threeWestern states participating. At theend of the six rounds Whitman Col-lege, the University of Idaho, andthe State College of Washingtonwere involved in a three-way tie forfirst place in the men's division.In the women's division WhitmanCollege was the first place winrrer,with Whitworth College and Gon-zaga University tieing for second.

Mines I (Don Roberts and Ri<:h-ard Vincelette) and M1I1es II /JlmConnell and Maribeth Sullivan)broke even in the six rounds, eachwinning and losing three rounds.Mines III (Georgeann Sullivan andBillie Todd) took straight losses.It is of local interest that Mines

II was the only team ·to defeat thedebaters from the University ofIdaho who were in the three-waytie for first and who took thetrophy home on the flip of a coin.

(All our humor is original ex-cept for the jokes or the articleswhich are specifically designated as"lifted" from other pUblications. Inthe case of "Love Letters in theCotton Pickin' Sand," the piece isnot only original, but also virtuallytrue. ~ost of the humor articles arenot Signed because of the wishesof the authors. The above case il-lustrates one reason why they areso modest.)

It was a quiet occasion yearsago.

meaning of "Silent Night." Christ-mas spirit is not regulated by push-buttons or remote control. It cannot be turned on suddenly whenChristmas Day arrives. There isa world of difference between thesetwo nights,and yet they are verysimilar. In place of a shiny labora-tory, the scene was a, stable. Manystories have been written aboutthe famous dog, Laika, but thedonkey involved years ago was evenmore important and should not beforgotten.

Signed by two students who wishinformation on outer space. A Christmas Fable

As Herb related the sad story,his uncle began to laugh."Why that old so - and - so!"

chuckled Harry, "he was in schoolwhen I was here and he never didpass that subject! Scrooge repeatedthe course so many times thateventually people thought he wasteaching it!"When he was through chuckling,

Uncle Harry changed a sardine canin a Volkswagen, and Herb leftfor the dance in high -style.

Old Professor Scrooge wasbounced out of school without re-ceiving his diploma and shortlyafter was sentenced to ten years inthe state pen for trapping Easterbunnies out of season. Herb andGladys Stubschmagulwitz were mar-ried immediately after semesterfinals and lived happily ever after.The young couple received manywonderful wedding presents, includ-mg a matched set of drill steels anda U & I credit card. Harry God-mother went home to Two Dot:wher~ he made a good living chang-mg tiger teeth in to golf balls.Moral: All's well that ends well.

dler at the door."Fraternity Joe: "We'll take two."

Once upon a time there was a

I poor Mines student named HerbStubschmagulwitz, and he lived ina big brick dorm with many otherstudents. Every day Herb and hisfriends would gather all their bookstogether and walk to a nearbygroup of buildings to study suchthis as Reading, Riting, and Rhe-ology. In the evening, after lab, thestudents would go back to the dormand eat a wholesome meal of boiledskobals and diced snerps. T'hus re-freshed, they would return to theirrespective cubicles to write reportsand argue with one another.

It came to pass that severalmonths after school had started, anotice was posted in Main Hallannouncing that Christmas wouldbe held on December 25, so as tocoincide with the winter holidays.In those days it was a custom togive and receive presents at Christ-mas time' and everyone was veryhappy - everyone, that is, exceptHerb.Now Herb had a very dear friend

named Gladys Stubschmagulwitz(no relation) who lived down thestreet in a big house with whitecolumns in front; and every yearthey had gone to the ChristmasFormal together-filled with goodspirits. This year, however, Herbwas toiling for 'a mean old manknown as Professor Scrooge, whodidn't believe in Christmas. Pro-fessor Scrooge was so mean thathe sent comic Valentines to his fel-low faculty members and set snaresfor Easter bunnies. To make surethat none of his students went tothe . Christmas Dance, Scroogescheduled an hour quiz for the dayfollowing and woe to the personwho failed it! Naturally, poor Herbwas very upset. He wanted to goto the dance, but he had to studyfor the test.The night of the dance he was

sitting alone in his room engrossedin his studies, when in 'walked hisuncle, Harry Godmother.. "Why are you studying on the

night 'of the Christmas dance?"asked Uncle Harry.
