For the twelfth consecutive year anew record number of freshmen will

go to freshman Camp at Lake Tlas-sapoag this afternoon. The Technol-

Architect's perspecti; e of the new School of Architecture

been sponsoring this camp for twelvevears has provided 26 tents and 17cabins which will shelter a total of404 men; 328 of whom are freshmen,30 of whom are guests and 42 ofwhom are upperclassmen. Severaldozen men had to be turned away forlack of accommodations. the third suc-cessive case of overcrowding.

This is an increase of 24 in the num-ber of freshmen over last year. Fourblankets per man and all twenty-sixtents were borrowed from the armyin order to shelter the freshmen andthe guests. Electric lights will beprovided in all the tents and cabinsthis year, instead of only in the cabinsas previously. One upperclassmanwill be in charge of each tent andcabin so as to help the new men inorienting themselves and understand-ing the organization of the Institute.

Among the prominent guests areDr. Karl T. Comnpton, President of theInstitute, Harold E. Lobdell, Dean ofStudents, Thomas P. Pitre, AssistantDean of Students, and Samuel C. Pres -,cott, Dean of Science. tielt

There is no question that a new dormitorywould be more than filled. It should be builtas soon as possible.

Bidding a man on the station plat-form is a common procedure. A re-spectable House can be detected bythe fact that it permits its prospectsto consider the bid during the entireride from the station to the House.Any attempt at hurrying the decisionor any attempts of "train-chasers",a form of rushing parasite, should betreated with utmost suspicion.

The end of the line production isreached when the new pledge brotheris deposited in the fraternity House,congratulated by the brothers, andstored in the cellar until needed toanswer the phone calls, the door bells,and othervwise stooge for his upper-classman brothers.

we have a few words of advice that mightenable him to get more out of his stay. Re-member always that the purpose of the campis to help orient students who have never beenhere before. If you are somewhat backwardabout making friends, if your unfamiliar sur-roundings make you feel reticent, rememberthat the other fellow probably feels the sameway. So put on a bold front yourself, andsoon you will feel at' home.

Remember also that the men you are withnow will be your classmates for the next fouryears. Try to get friendly with as many asyou can. You may not have them in class andif you don't meet them now you never will.

You will hear a great deal about activitiesat camp. The outstanding activity men of theInstitute will tell you about the opportunitiesfor extra-curricular work. Listen to themcarefully, for a reasonable amount of outsideactivities are necessary to round out a. com-plete programr. If there are any activities youare particularly interested in, ask the upper-classmen about them. Don't be bashful, theyare only too -lad to oblige.

Alumni and professors will give you someof the background of Technology- -a little ofits history and its traditions. Listen care-fually, for the knowledge you pick up will makeyour stay here more enjoyable.

This weekend at camp and next Monday atthe All-Tech Smoker you will be introducedto Technology. Make the most of it, so thatwhen classes start you will not be a stranger

RATERNTITY rushing season is here again,and as usual a good number of the fresh-

immediate decision is that it is afraid you maydecide differently if you look around elsewlhere.Don't be too quick to move into a fraternityhouse. First, ask yourself whether or not youwant to join any fraternity. Talk to non-fra-ternity men and get their point of view. Thereis also the financial aspect to consider.

Then if you decide to join a fraternity, don'tbe too hasty about deciding which invitationto accept. Don't be too impressed by the na-tional reputation of a fraternity--you are go-

ifng to live with the local chapter. Be sureou get around to meet all the men at the

hdVine, particularly the lower classmen whowill be here longer and with whom you willhave to get along. Don't get rushed off yourfeet. Four years is a long time to pay for ahasty decision.

The advice given in the General Bulletinpublished by the Institute is excellent counselto follow. It says:

"Upon your arrival at the Institute consid-erable pressure may be brought to bear uponyou to pledge yourself immediately to somefraternity. You should realize that joining afraternity is a serious step which should betaken only after you have made careful in-spection and comparison of all the chaptersfrom which you may have received invitations.This procedure is approved by the Interfra-ternity Conference and the chapters compos-ing' this Conference agree that a reasonabledelay thus occasioned in making a decisionshall not endanger your chances of ultimatelyjoining the chapter of your choice. In yourprofessional wvork you will find hasty decisionsdang-erous. Start training yourself now toavoid them."

·- ·· : ·.. · ·:·.·- -··;;;~ ~ ~: ii~i~i~Dear Mr. Editor:

Now that the Institute has seen fit to warn thestudents about the Evils of Smoking and has chastisedthe boys about Kidnapping during the week of FieldDay, I feel ' t h a t it should also take a paternal inter-est in the Kidnapping which occurs during RushWeekl;. Some of the freshmen are still so unsuspect-ing that they arrive on the station platform withsuitcases which actually contain valuables instead ofworthless trash like bricks and last year's edition of"The Ecoxnomic Process". Then when the suitcasesare held for ransom the poor freshman is forced toadvertise in the Want Ad section of the "Boston DailyRecord" or the "Harvard Crimson", for what fresh-man is sophisticated enough to read Greek letters andwhat fraternity is highbrow enough to aspire to the"Transcript" or the "Herald"? What can a poorfreshman do while his clean shirt or his best brownbrief case are moulding in the room of some rush-ing chairman ?

I might also say a word about the bidding of thefraternities. Although in most cases the national of-fice of the Greek letter fraternities recommend thattheir chapters learn the names of men before theyare pledged, the Tech chapters as a rule feel exempt.the general procedure, designed by some enterprisingrushing chairman who was seeking a job with Gen-eral SMotolrs (advt.), is patterned after the famousChevrolet plant in Detroit-a perfect example of lineproduction. As a rule some smooth talker swingsonto the train in the general vicinity of Providenceor Springfield and introduces himself to all the youngnen who wear coats and trousers of the -same ma-terial. Coats and pants of different design usuallypoint out Harvard men, although men wearing glasses
