OPEN FORUM |In opening its columns to letters addressed to the Editor,

THE TECH does not guarantee publication of any communi-cation nor does it necessarily endorse the opinions expressed.Letters on subjects of interest to the student body arewelcome if signed. However, if the writer so desires, onlythe initials will appear on publication.

Architectural Department

To the Editor:

As one glances over THE TECH, one is quite con-scious of the broadening aspect of the numerousheadlines. The student body in general is evidentlyinterested in the outside point of view. Many of theheadlines are definitely related to one or the other ofthe various courses, it is true, but still, they do getaway from '"shop" talk in instances.

It doesn't look as though those manytime farcicalgeneral studies fill the bill.

Considered from this angle, it appears that thestudents are really out to broaden themselves.

On the other hand, can you find one of those sup-porting outside interests relating to the liberal artsin its broad sense? To how many engineers does itoccur that we have one of the finest Architecturaland Architectural Engineering schools in the country.And if its existence does occur to them, how often dothey think of it in terms of its cultural influenceupon their education ? Are not both the engineersand the architects losing a great deal by this divisionof departments ?

Although a considerable number of menhave come out, the material is rather less thancould be desired as far as quantity is con-cerned. There are undoubtedly a large num-ber of men, interested in playing baseball andaccomplished at the gare, who, because oftheir natural inertia, have not reported to themanagers of the various teams. These menshould report to the various managers as soonas possible.

There is a possibility that, if enough in-terest is shown in baseball, outside games maybe arranged. It behooves all of the men onthe team, therefore, to find others who wouldcome out if enough persuasion were offered.Intermural athletics themselves are valuable,but the games would be much more interest-ing if an outside team were the opponent,rather than the members of another class.

A goodly number of men participate butlittle in the sports of the Institute, partlybecause of lack of interest and partly be-cause of lack of knowledge of the sport.Baseball, as the great American game, shouldinterest quite a number of these men. Asthere is no regular varsity baseball team, theinterclass teams offer an opportunity to in-dulge this hobby.

FASHION NOTE

RUSSIA AIMS TO PLEASE

SOMEWHAT unusual fashion note made

1A the front page in the New York Times

last Sunday. "First Soviet Fashion Show Isa Success"; say the headlines, "40,000 WomenSelect Fifty Dress Models."

"The show, which was held in a theatrelobby under government auspices, drew 40,000women, including factory girls and farmworkers, who came by excursion trains frommany parts of Russia, passed judgment on 150models, and approved fifty, which will be putinto quantity production."

Of considerably greater significance thanthe usual twaddle about clothes, the articleindicates that certain of the despised bourge-oise weaknesses still exists in the breasts of

sturdy Russian proletariat.But in all seriousness, the attitude of the

Russian government is to be commended. Asfar as press dispatches reaching the UnitedStates can indicate, a determined effort isbeing made to live up to the promises of therevolution and make the lot of the great massof laborers brighter, easier, and perhaps, hap-pier.

Travellers returning from the Soviet Unionoften refer to the drabness and monotony ofthe usual costumes, especially those of thewomen. Whatever else one can say against

the present dictatorship, it must be admittedthat such an organized attempt to give welldesigned clothes to all who want them wouldhardly be conceivable under the last auto-cratic regime.

"There were also a number of sport cos-tumes for skiing and the like, a few eveningdresses and children's clothes." Which indi-

cates that at least for the professionals andthe more skilled workers, ample leisure, andopportunity to take advantage of it, exists.

CUPS VERSUS CASH

TECH ENGINEERING NEWS

THE announcement that the Tech Engi-

1neering News has been awarded the YaleCup for outstanding work in the field ofscientific- publications will be greeted withconsiderable pleasure, but no surprise, atTechnology.

Decision was based on the scientific merit

of the alrticles contained, the ratio by pagesof advertisements, cover designs, pictorialsupplements, and general make up.

That the T. E. N. is an excellent publicationhas long been realized by its readers. Butunfortunately its readers number an alto-gether too small proportion of Institute stu-dents. Lack of support by an apathic publichas forced'the magazine to eat into its re-serves during recent years.

Although recognition of the merit of itsinteresting pictures and the care and watch-fulness of its editors may gratify the vanityof the managing board, a little cash in itscoffers from the sale of the magazine would bea much more concrete source of pleasure tothe T. E. N.

TOWARD THE COUNTRY

CITY-TO-COUNTRY MOVEMENT

T HE prophecy made by Prof. Ross F.1TTucker before the Building Officials Con-

fer..ence, that we shall see our population leavethe large cities in favor of smaller communi-ties, is certainly a pleasing one. A long steptoward rational civilization will be made whenwe move away from our dusty, smnoky, and

sunless caverns and canyons.According to Prof. Tucker, any family that

can pay an installment of $35 a month, canown its own home on a third of an acre of land.A good house, an electric refrigerator, a wash.ing machine, and an automobile could all bebuilt to sell for $3600, and a suitable financingplan easily arranged.

Such things are made possible by the short-ened working day, the automobile, and thelow-cost house. All of these are productionsof our' machine age- and can hardly be con-sidered part of the doom to which benioanersof technological unemployment consign us.

The number of people affected by these re-duced costs will certainly accelerate themovement toward the country. We shall, wehope, find our' population more evenly distrib-uted ov~er the nation, enjoying better health,

and living fuller lives.

BROTHER ALPHA

(Continued from Page 2)the other real Bibles, will be found incoherent,mystical, and deeply moving.

Eva Le Gallienne her biography At 33 is alook for Drama Shops, I)rama Clubs, DramaOptions and, generally all the world. We owethis book to the Depression, which cut off thesubsidies from The Civic Repertory Theatre,made it necesasry to take Alice up town, and,finally, to shut down the enterprise. It neededperhaps a matter of $75,000 a year to keepgoing, with the prospect of evolving tworepertory houses, a free school of acting, anda library. It seems that Roxy got the stubsidy. millions now spent in vast buildings,holding nothing.

But Eva herself will be the chief interest inthis hook. She wrote the book, apparently-And there she is, in all the parts we haveseen, La Locandiera, Julie, Mlasha, PrincessAlexandra in the Swan. It is just the lossof things like that that makes it tough togrow old. Eva, maybe, can never grow old,-a burning enthusiasm all gone into a creativejob, an artistic spirit encased in the rigidstubbornness of a Girl (;uide from theGodalming Troupe.

Incidentally, the book makes no attempt to lbeamusing. ]But one of the most amusingstories ever told is in the pages which de-scribe how the French behaved when Eva.Norman Blel-Geddes and Mercedes de Acostaundertook to put on Jolhanrle d'Arr in Paris."Dles S auvages!"

Richard \ldington his All Metz Are Entecmies isno doubt a stimulating novel, in some senseor other. Aldington is up to his old tricks fromThcr Colonel's Daulghter, but this time he triesa "magnificent romance" about a man whojust couldn't settle down to a business careerand a get-along-somehow marriage with hisMargaret. So the book is a mixture of faialStreet, Holiday, and D. 1. Lawrence.

Sylvia Thompson her Unfinished Symphony isby this time known to everybody who de-serves to know it. The apparatus is thatof a Noble Child of Nature, brought up byher father in seclusion on an island in theMediterranean, where there were only simplepeasants and High Ideals. The manner ofa Goddess, of course, but the point is howcould one use that manner in an office, tak-ing foolish dictation from a Boss who nevergrew up? This Noble Child played havocwith the standards-and the face--of herBritish relatives, but found at last a YoungAmerican whom she purposed to love becauseshe needed to love somebody, and becauseAmerican Husbands are honored in everycountry except their own. In spite of allthis apparatus, the Noble Child is a realperson and the story lives.

OPEN FORUM

(Continued from Page 2)

These United States have been mov-ing pretty fast since the War, but thisdepression has put us back on ourheels long enough to make us realizethe worthwhileness of the culturalside of life.

Would not it be greatly to our ad-vantage to have a fine ArchitecturalDepartment building on the Cam-bridge side of the river, and relatedto the school as it was formerly?Would not it help greatly that moveof the Administration's which wasdeemed necessary to the extent ofpublishing "Educational Opportuni-ties at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology ?"

It certainly seems enough of apoint for there to be many others whofeel as I do, and we would like tolearn if there is a general sentimentas well as if anything is being donewhich will bring about the above de-sired result in the near future.

Crimson Coach Praises Engineer,Team; Forster, Geil,

Asch Star.

The RI. I. T. varsity lacrosse team bowed before a more seasoned Crim-son team last Wednesday afternoon.at the Coop field when they came outon the short end of a 6 to 2 score. De-spite the top heavy score, the gamelwas by no means a walkaway for thevisitors. At the end of the first per iod,the score was 1 to 0 in favor of Tech,the score being the result of a beau-tiful solo by Ed Asch. Coach Pooleof Harvard did not hide his worry ashe led his team off the field, statingthat this year's Engineer Team wasthe best he has seen in years. Hiscompliments wvere by no mneans un-founded for in the past, Harvard hasdefeated the Engineers by scores of10 to 0 and 9 to 0.

In the second period the Harval dteam put on pressure and scored threegoals before the half was over. Thethird period was more or less dlefen-siv e for the Engineers in that twomore goals were scored by the Crim-sons. The last period opened with theEngineers trailing 5 to 1. Inspiredby the rugged defense workc by Geil.and by the flashy off ensive work ofthe Bob Fol ster, the Tec~h tealnmarched up the field and Red ForLsterstarted the rally by scoring on a passfrom Sayles. Harvard reciprocatedby scoring another goal a few- secondsbefore the final whistle.

Coach Luther Gulick, ex-Harvardace, wlas quite enthused by the show-ing of the team against his almanmater, and wvas especially pleasedwith the good work performed by EdAsch, Bob Forster, and Johnny Bor-g er. The other Tech men who playedwere: Sayles, Wilson, Geil, Gardener,Mathias, Barrett, Gass, Halverson,Colby, Lufkin, Ansel and Way.

G. B. I. C.'s,

Since 1926 when Technology 'wonthe New Englanld Intercollegiatetrack and field championships the sue-ceeding seasons were poor, but nowOsear Hedlund sees a great seasonahead for his team. He rates thepresent team the best in the last twogenerations. With the Greater Bos-ton Intereollegiates coming off Fridayand Saturday at the HarvardStadium, Hedlund is confident of giv-ing B. C., Northeastern, and Harvarda hard fight for the title.

Hccdlund expects to score in 13 ofthe 1,5 events, and also expects to pickup) more than has been previously inthe freshman events. Nothing shortof hard luck will stop the Engineersfrom scoring at least fifty points. Twoyear s ago, id. I. T. placed third -asthey did last year.

Juniors LeadingBaseball League

Seniors Win Their Only Gameby 15-5 Count; Play Soph-

omores Today

Displaying a heavy batting attackin support of good pitching, theJunior class baseball team sluggedits way to victories over the Sopho-mores and the Graduate Students, onTuesday and Thursday afternoons,respectively. The Sophomores weretaken into camp, 10-7, and the Gradu-ates were defeated, 15-2. In theother intramural game played thisweek the Seniors were victorious overthe Freshmen, 15-5, on Wednesday.

Tuesday's game was close until thefourth inning, when the Juniors col-lected four scores. Until this timeStoloff, the Sophomore hurler, hadbeen going fairly well, but with thecoming of Villaflor to the box in thisinning the Juniors hit hard to put thegame on ice. Dick Smith,. the win-ning twirler, with a six run lead,eased up going into the final inning,and the losers made a belated threecount rally, which fell short by thesame amount.

Seniors Bat Hard WednesdayOn Wednesday after two close in-

nings the bats of the Seniors brokeloose and chased across nine bigcounters in the third followed by fivemore in the fourth. During theserallies, Johnny Carey, boxing star,and catcher for his team, hit a longhome run and Gene O'Brien, basket-ball captain this past winter, hit atriple and a one-bagger. Cosgrove,Eagen, and Platt also got two binglesapiece.

Kend-lur and Hughes starred forthe yearlings, with the former driv-ing out a homer and the latter col-lecting a pair of hits.

Forster Pitches Three-Hit GameYesterday the Juniors renewed their

long distance clouting behind thethree-hit hurling of Bob Forster, whotook a day off from lacrosse to showthe graduates why he is rated thebest pitcher in the school. Bob, theman wiio scored one of Technology'sgoals in the lacrosse game with Har-vard the day pre-vious, showed notiredness from the lacrosse game andheld complete control of the situationthroughout the contest.

Brooks Morgan had a big day atbat for the winners, clouting out twolong home runs to right center fieldhis first two times up, and followingthese up with a slashing triple andan infield single in his last two ap-pearances at the plate. Johnny Or-chard was not far behind his team-mate, also getting four clean hits.These four together with the threebard smashes he drove out on Tues-day give him a perfect batting aver-age for his seven times up. RedForster and the Smiths, Dick andCharlie, each got a pair of safe drivesto swell the best-hit totals of the wsin-ner s. Trhe three hits of the Gradu-ates were divided up. among threemen, Sysko, zVaala, and Nudd.Practice for Unofficial Team Tomorrow

Today the schedule calls for theSophomores to meet the Seniors, wvhileon Mondaye the freshm en and thEJuniors clash. No gamne is scheduledfor tomorrow afternoon on accountof the fact that practice is to be heldthen for candidates who wish to tryout for positions on an unofficialTechnology baseball team.

No games have been arranged ye'for such a team, but it is expectedthat during the next week plans willbe made for two or more contests inMay with junior varsity nines ofother colleges.

Yale Oarsmen Favorites to

Defeat VarsityVeteran Light Crew Expects to

Continue Last Year'sWinning Streak

FROSH LOSE LAWRENCE

Technology's untried varsity crewwill be -put to the test this Saturdaywhen they go to Lake Quinsigamondin Worcester to race a strong Yaleeight. At the same time, the 150'swill be matched against Cornell andYale while the first year oarsmenmeet Browne and Nichols. Besidesbeing outweighed, the Tech heavies-had to practice -under adverse weatherconditions, especially du-ring the pastweek, when a strong cross wind onthe Charles hindered the oarsmenconsiderably. Coach Bill Haines hasnot had much to say about the race,but last night he stated, "I think weshall give them a good race."

The race will be the first in varsitycompetition for many of the men al-though most of them 'had somne ex-perience on the Junior- varsity lastyear. Al Mowatt, stroke, wras out all.of last year due to illness, but is oneof the mainstays of this year's boat.Charles Lucke, who rows directly be-hind Mowatt was bow man in lastyear's boat, while Captain JohnnyWestfall, -now at number six, strokedlast year's J.V.'s -and later strokedthe varsity to their first win in anumber of years.' Both Ed Loensteinand Styeck are. veterans, while DonWood, John Newbegin, and Haskinsrowed in the second boat, of wvlichTuffy Emory was coxswain.

150's Expect to WinThe 150 boat is a veteran crew

with two exceptions. Coach Hainesexpressed the opinion that he ex-pected this boat to continue theirwinning performances of last year.

Freshman Coach Al Dunning willbe sending his crew to almost suredefeat on -Saturday. The vetel anBrowne and Nichols boat which wasgiven a close victory over the Engi-neer freshmen last year, was unoffi-cially clocked at a few seconds overthe course record on the Charles. Onthe other band, the Tech first yearmen have been hampered by the lackof experience, and recently lost fourof their best men. The principal lossis that of Dick Lawrence, stroke, whohas been laid up with pneumonia.

TO ARMAS, YE CHIVALROUS

We believe that the policy advo-cated by this paper in yesterday'seditorial column should not die a-borning. We refer to the fact thatthe DAILY TAR HEEL postively opposesany alleviation in the strict rules thatnow affect the co-eds in their relationto fraternity houses.

Fraternity nouses on this campusare the seat of much evil. Only a fewdays ago we heard a boy mention anunprintable word in a rather loudvoice. He said d-n. We don't thinkthat our co-eds should be allowed toenter houses where boys say d-n.

As another point, we know a boywho feels that he will be able to kissa co-ed if he can get her into thehouse. Now that's bad. We stren-uously oppose any move that will de-tract from the popularity of theArboretum and the Gimghoul lodgeas kissing places, and we certainlylook with horror on any legislationthat will facilitate kissing. Kissingis unsanitary.

It seems to us that the Carolinaco-ed and her date should be wellsatisfied to sit in the Shack with adozen or so other couples and playtwenty questions or charades. If theywant -privacy, they can get it in thesolitude of E. C. Smith's theatre. Ifthey want to play bridge or dance,they can sublimate their desires. Weneed discipline to make us bettercitizens, so we want discipline.

We can not countenance any actionthat will tend to disparage or defilethe pure womanhood of our Univer-sity. These are the women who weshall marry-the mothers-to-be ofour children. A young woman whoenters the door of a fraternity houseis immediately open to disparagementand defilation. The Greeks have aword for them, Selah.-J. B. L.

considered before any hasty designIand construction of cities. A board 1

,Df qualified people, sociologists, engi-i1.neers, architects, economists, and11lawyers, set aside from politics,-should form the planning authority.,This board. he asserted, will make the.necessary surveys, study and provide,for the movement of populations, de-termine the highest social use of land,and dedicate the land for that use.'One of the functions of this boardshould be to -set aside areas of lowcost land to be devoted to spare time.

Against Multiple Housing

Professor Turner is against multi-ple housing except as an economicecessity for the reason that peopleShuld have access to tillable groundnd a shop where they may raise aar of the food that they consume

nd where handicrafts and domesticarts rnay be encouraged. The sp~eakerdivided the housing problem into twoparts: one, regarding the people who~cannot pay a rent that will yield acommercial return on the investment,the second regarding people who canpay an economic rent. The former-problem can be solved by governmentintervention to provide and developlow cost land and build thereon, amnove which would supply employmentand stimulate many parts of thebuilding industry.

The second problem is entirelyeconomic, and can be handled by thebuilding industry itself. "Here is amnarket for homes of 14 or 15 millionsof people that the building industryan serve but which it has neverUched because of the excess costs of

te speculative system under whichSlhas heretofore operated," Turner

stated.

If the architects are given the prob-l~em of designing low cost housingcombining utility and attractiveness,te speaker went on, instead of leav-

ing it to the' speculative builders, ourOW cost housing will m~easure up tois responsibilities. He suggestedtat the building industry might bor-

rwall idea from the automobile in-ustry in providing for the renovation

lid replacement of houses at the endDftheir reasonable economic life.

because we have neglected to makerovision for the replacement ofouses, we have today millions of out-

moded second hand and third handouses in blighted areas in all ourtites.

"It is possible not only to build aood house to sell for $3,600, but to

quip it with a washing machine, andectric refrigerator, and an autorno-ile,' Tgritier asserted. "Further-tore, it' is possible to build a goodUX-r0om house for $1,000 less, but inlder to accomplish this miracle wenust revise our ideas regarding landevelPment, speculative buildings and

he financial lubrication that has fa-litated the purchase of millions oftorlY built homes by people whoIud 'not afford them."

According to the information re-ceived from societies who have al-ready conducted their trials, thespeeches this year will include suchsubjects as "The Origin of Life,""The Nature of Matter," Earth-quakes," and "Rocket Popullsion.''

At the semi-finals, six speakers areto be chosen from the representativesof the professional societies. Thesesix will deliver their addresses onClass Day, when awards of $50, $30,and $20 will be made to the threejudged best.

WINIARSKI IS ELECTEDPRESIDENT OF C. E. S.

New officers of the Civil Engineer-ing Society elected Wednesday arethe following: Kasinier z J. Winiarski,'3a, president; Darrell1 A. Root, '35,vice-president; Fled J. Beehstein, '35,.secretary, and George R. Bull, '35,treasur er.

The followving were elected to theexecutive committee of the society:James H. Carr, Jr., G. Elliott Robin-son, Frank R. Ber-man and Anton E.Hitt], all of the class of 1936.

The annual class scrap between thefreshmen and the sophomores atOttawa University is nothing out ofthe ordinary, but its preliminaries areunique. It seems the entire school isguest of the freshman class at a friedchicken dinner after the fight, regard-less of who wins. Before the fightthe freshmen get the chicken and fryit, then put it in hiding. If the Sophscan't find it, the Frosh eat it, but ifthey do, then the yearlings miss ameal.

terials, and processing.The general option presents a pro-

gram balanced between mechanics,thermodynamics and design. It isespecially arranged for students de-siring a general training in mechani-cal engineering, and for those ex-pecting to engage in graduate study.

The automotive option concentratesin automotive engineering and pro-duction, with emphasis on either en-gine or chassis design. The poweroption specializes in the applicatoryphases of thermodynamics relating topower generation, and the design ofthe necessary equipment.

The refrigeration and air condition-ing option concentrates in the tech-nical phases of heat engineering asapplied to these increasingly impor-tant fields. The production option isintended for those who are primarilyinterested in the problems of produc-tion and machinery, with emphasis onmaterials and processes.

sc sLOW

These humble quatrains are composed

To tell a sprightly tale

Of how a witty junior nosedA senior with a frail.

The tale, ye hearties, goes like this:It seems two lads were nuts

About a certain little miss

Whose name, we'll say, was Lutz.

The junior's Christian name was Tom;The senior's name was Bert.

They both considered for the prom

The same blond, blue-eyed skirt.

Now Bert had honors, letters; he

Was quite the well-known lad.While two-bucks-ten and faith-in-me

Were all that Tommy had.

Wohen blond Miss Lutz declined to go

WVith Bert, he wondered why.

That Tommy should get all the show

Was quite a blackened eye.

He learned the night the prom was thrown

WVhy he had lost the date.

For Torn had made the timely loan

Of someone's Ford V-8!

M. E. Dept. to AlterCourses Next Year

Will Have Six Options in FourthYear; General Option Also

to Be Offered

Changes in the course in mechani-cal engineering at Technology bywhich the fourth year is divided intosix optional fields of study were an-nounced -by the department today, andwill go into effect next fall. The newcurriculum offers options in automo-tive, pover, refrigeration and airconditioning, production, and textileengineering, as well as a general -op-tion for students who desire a broadtraining and for those who expectto engage in graduate study. All theoptions i nclude a certain amount ofelective time, thus making it possibleto select courses of special interest.

The new optional system wasadopted in recognition of the grow-ing scope and complexity of mechani-cal engineering, and the difficulty ofcovering adequately its many impor-tant fields in the normal four yearcourse. Modern mechanical engineer-ing includes, among others, such greatdivisions as automotive, steam and in-ternal combustion engines, locomotive,steam turbine, power plant, refrigera-tion, heating and ventilating, air con-ditioning, textile, mill and factory,,
