STUDENTS FILE CARDS FORACTIVITIES COMMITTEE

Point System Prevents Men From Un-dertaking More Than Is Feasible

The cards, on whlichl tile students w, ore-

to marl; the activities they preferred to

trly for, are almost all in. _K!o definite

information can b~e rViven as to the -nuiu-

b ler of men sig~ning iip for each activity

|qute y-et. Thlc eao 'or this is lilatthe eards have faflced to reach a fear,and some have signodl up for miore thtan,they shollld have under 'lie pon yso,terls

Thle ,aetisities committee had thesecards made in order, to ]ra^e a lit orthe men cello thlinkc then leav-e sufficielltab~ilitvT to become proficienlt in someparticular lille. Tile imanagers of thevariolls teams are to have access tothese cards and b)y this means Cahill beable to find out hlow~ mlucI material tileymnay expect for the comincr season.

JSome men indicated prefecrence for asmany as six or eighlt activities. At-thou-1il this shiowzs the proper spirit,

.nevertheless it, appears that many moilare ignorant of the p~oint system otregulating activities in vogiie hlere. Tlhepoint system is under the manag-emlentof P. committee whlichl has ordained tlsat|no man sliall. carry activities. totallin-

imore than ten points except in the case.of nien in the mnusical clubs or athletics

when a man maye carry another officealtbloug-li the twvo together amount tomore than ten points. Eaeh activity

, Sas been aiven a certain number ofvIoinlts, according to the amount of time

iit takes. This insures that a man lt.illlnot undertake so much outside work

that his scholastic standing lvill suffers.Nowr that activities are running, at fulltilt again, the desire of all the bigg menin the Institute is that every man shall

,come out for something and stay out.TThese cards showv every mall, what ac-

tivities the Institute affords and enables)him to pick out the one is hicbel is his par-

ticular forte.

s ~REGISTER ON TIME

Dean Burton statedl theat men wrho illtend to return to Techlnology late, i. e.,after ])eceniber .'30. hlad better bewsare,

e-ayingr that there may be some rifficultya Fetting into the Institute after that

:))date. He explained that the Institutes is takcin(r in men wirth shady records,.men whlo have not passed all their sub-rjects, and that these inen especially

should take care. for they Nvill have the11most difficulty getting in.

A1 & reat deal of time ]has, been lost so'-far this year, and there is no need to°lose ants niore. If so much time had3

not been lost, the students probablywould not have had to return to tile In-stitute unit January 2. Returning lateit is understood w-ill also gin-e the in-structors a bad impres-sion of a man.

,Dean Bulrton said that he would not ad-tvXise anv man to comle back after De-

ceember 30thi. U~en returning, late will.have to p~ay a flyee dollar fee for late.r esistation. Despite all threats many

in| en have simplified thieni intention not toe|r etlr n till Janularv 2.

Alunroe wvas the man chosen to de-liv~er the "big talk" of the entire affair,on tljue glorious past of Technlology. Ofall our graduates probably none are bet-ter acquainted -with the Institute his-tory than Mr. Mhunroe. He holds mnany,implortant, positions in the Institute, be-incr Secretary of the Corporation and amanl of great inflllelce in the AlumniiCouneil. Byr trade lie is a paper manu-facturer, President and Treasurer of theAlu~nroe Felt and Paper Co.

'DRILL FOR TERM SUSPENDED

Sophomores May Not Have To DrillNext Term

'Tll Teclinology battalion drill hasbeen stlseled until D~eeember30bv or-dler of Colonel Cole. Tile reason for this;

vas I----- many men lead riot yet ob-tained uniforms. There wlas also treatdapffer of sickiness from drillina in theCambridg~e Armony with out overcoatsand many of the men ha-e none as yetto go with their uniforms. Originallythe R. O. T. C. weas to drill only for-tyr-five hours this term. So far thisylear thle battalion has drilled sixtyhours and has more than covered itscourse. -Since the wvar is over there isno need for the extra drill.

The S3. A. T. C. men *vill drill nestterm. but it is not known whether theS. N. T. C. wvill take drill or not, sincethey wvill still be under the supervisionof the Navy Department wvith respectto dlrill. The navv mnen claimi thatth-ev cannot wear ,-ll armyl uniformwhile in the Naval Reserve. It is un-derstood that the N.o. T. C:. wvill haveto hav-e two lveeks of naval drill everys illlr for a period of four years.

'NTex tterm there wvil b~e three, llolrsof drill a week;. Probab~lv onlv freslo-men -will takie drill. N~o arrancremeirtsfor Sophomores have been mladle as yet.About three hllndredl junior freshmenwill enter the Institute Dec. 30.

THE BEST PART OF IT

OA 0V that wle are out of the S. A. T. C. wve can look back or

the experience in 'a less prejudiced attitude and see tlaat the

training heas not by any meanas been entirely lost. One bigbrain has been the brinu~ing, of the men to-ether into closRe associa-

tion so that tlae), know one another much better than tbewr could il

they head not lived in the barracks. Then again, the titter lack oi

spirit and colle-e life has made evtery one determined to come back

full -of pep ant! determined to wvork hard to make the undergraduatelife worth while.

THE VOO DOO

AT last Die hear from the VOODOO again. Ni`e are told that

instead of hvbernating tintil next fall as was originally in-

tended, w-e -s\ill see him bright and early in the spring. This

means that a -ood many freshmen will be needed to try, out. The

Voodoo whill be the combination of the Technologyv M1orthly and

WVoop Garoo. The present plans are to make it a comnic macrazine,

very much like the old Woo0p, ill addition to which thefe Will be a

HOW ABOUJT A HIOCKEY TEAM?

With winter here it is time to think about or-,-anizin, a hockey

is glad to see the '"boys" back again.

There is a report cur-rent that theI

Nav al Aviators whlo are left *^ill be

If this is so it, will greatly hasten the

date at which all the rooms wrill be open

',GUARD MO'uNTING"

Every afternoon at 5 o'clock the new

guard relieves the guard which has

been keeping vigil over the post dur-

ing the last twenty-four hours. The

technical term for this ceremony is

"Guard MIounting." Shortiy before

five the new gauard of about twenty-one

men is drawn up in front of the Com-

pany "A" barracks and inspected by the

new Officer of the Day. The old guard

is drawn up on the opposite side of the

drill-ground facing the new guard. The

new guard is then marched across the

field and passes in front of the old,uard which executes "Present Arms."The new guard is given "Eyes Right"and brought into place beside the old

Iliard Thle O. D's salute one another

and the guards present arms. The oldguard is dismissed at the conclusion ofthese ceremonies.

The sergeant of the guard divides thenew guard into three reliefs and as-signs the men to their posts. Twosquads participate in the erelemonies atretreat, standing in front of the auard-house. A corporal and two privates ofthe guard lower the flag. The senti-nels stand Guard for two hours and are I

relieved for four hours. Thle sentriesare inspected during their watch bythe 0. D. Sentry-boxes have beenplaced about the Yard for shelteringthe sentries in cold, severe weather. Asa rule the guard is chosen entirely fromone company, and is so arranged thatno man has gtuard dutv aoain untilevery other nlan has had his turn.
