Both teams are fairlv well matchedthough there is no question in theminds of the respective squads as tothe outcome; each confidently down intheir hearts believes its team is goingto win. That mnakes the odds even,maybe. According to their former ne-farious precedents the Technique start-ed to practice a month ago, waiting un-til their teani had reached the point ofperfection before springing tie surpriseon THE TECH by challenging themto a football game and setting the datea wreek and a half in advance. So tak-en back by this action of the third storyworkers were the sublime mlinds of thenews organ, that a foe vanquished ut-terly by the huge score of 6-0 lastseason could comne back for another

SIXTY-FIVE MENCANDIDATES FOR

EIGHT POSITIONsqFreshman Elections Will Be Hell

Today in Basement ofBuilding 2

TRY PREFERENTIAL PLAN

Fourteen Freshmen Ambitious ofBecoming President of

Class of 1928

Today is the big day for the fresh-mien politicians. Sixty-five mnen arecandidates for election to eight offices:president, vice-president, secretary,treasurer, two members for the Ex-ecutive Commlittee, and two for theInstitute Commlittee.

Fourteen candidates for the presi-dencv of the class make the struggle avery interesting one, for seldom do somnany strive for the highest office ofthe class. As it is ex~tremlely, improb-able that any one candidate can securea majority of the votes, this electionwill prove to be a w orthy test of theutilitv of the new pref erential votingsvstem to be used for the first time.'The new system was designed to pre-vent as far as possible the election ofanvonc who had a plulrality over theothier candidates but who fiad such asmlall fraction of the total votes thathe ha-id Only a smnall part of the classbacking himi. For this reason, the In-stitutc Commlittee last Max decided totry out the preferential system, illwhiich each voter signifies the' order ofhis preferences for the various candi-dates.

New System ExplainedC. R. Muhlenberg '25, Chairman of

the Elections Committee, issues the fol-lowiing statement concerning the pref-erential system: "The new system be-ing tried this year for the first timecan onlv be successful if every voterindicates in order his preference forthe -various candidates. He is to dothis by placing Arabic nurnerals be-fore the 1lanes of the candidates in theorder of his preference for tlles. Hemall number as many or as few as he

iwishes, but the more he numbers, themore representative will be the result.

"As the polls will be open froml 8:30to 5 :30, every freshman will have anopportunity to cast his ballot, and it is

Ufficers Planning New SeriesjOf Meetings For Future

Nfr. Harold Haskins '04 will addressthe N~ovember meeting of the MechanicalEngineering Society to bee held in northball. Walkser, this evening at 7:30.

t"The Engineer" is Mr. Haskins' sub-ject. He will speak about the activitiesof the engineer outside of his profession.

The Nl echanlical Engineering Depart-, nents dIrawing rooms will bec open from, o'clock until the meeting begins so

that nzin who stay for the meeting maywork there. Passes must be secured fromP'ro fessor James by those who wish tostay .

Ill addition to the regular monthlysmokers, the officers are planning a seriesof special meetings for a more serious'Colnsideratioll of advanced mechanical en-gineering subjects than is possible in ameeting where men just beginning theirpro fessional subj ects attend. The officersfeel that highly technical topics are notinteresting to the majority of the youngermaen in the society and the subjects forthe regular monthly smokser are accord-i119lY selected to be interesting to all.th'le new series of meetings will still beopen for the members interested, and willbe very much like the seminars now of-.Prerd in some of the Institute courses.Promineit engineers will be secured toaddress these meetings and individualmembers will prepare papers for discus-S'iO. Professor G. B. Wilkes, associateProfessor of Industrial Physics will ad-dress the first meeting of the series to beheld November 25th in the Heat Measure-me,,t Laboratory at 7 o'clock.

CONCRT IS WELLRECEI'VED IN LYNN

Varied Entertainment ProvidedAt Second Engagement of

Musical Clubs

The Combined Musical Clubs pla edtheir second engagement of the season,Monday evening at the Ly.in Classi-.al I-Iigh School. Iynn. under the aus-piccs of the Lynn Educational Society.Several rather unusuai occurrences af-forded no little ailustnlie;nt throughoutthe evening.

in she first place the lights refused' Cunction for some unknown reasonand the entire school was plunged indarkness for about ten minutes. It alsohappened that the iien on the clubswere required to wait in the gymna-sium till it vas their turn to appealon the stage. A stray basketball camein quite handy so that despite the factthat the me ti were all dressed in tux-edcs, the waiting musicians had severalgood scrimmages. Personal appear-an(e did not seem to cut inuch figurewith the men that particular evening.

Pictures To Be TakersThe concert program, which was

practically identical to that given atFliene's went off in schedule time. Onlvcone or two minor changes in the nuim-hers rendered occurred. It happenedthat Homler Huntoon '26, who wasslated to play an accordion solo, al-though his instrument had been out oforder at the hrst concert, was unableto be present -,ithl the clubs. Accord-ingiv a substitution was made in theshlape of a sleight-of-hand act by T.A. Knowles '27, which was a little de-parture from the otherwise all-niusicalprogram. K. M. Peterson '28, thefreshman vio!inist planing solo numberswith the cilals this year, received aneven more enthusiastic reception thanthat acc urdet i b1i,- at the i-lene s co.-cert. He was called on repzatedly forelicores.

Pictures of the Combined Clubs willbe taken at Walker Mernorial at 5:30o'clock on Friday before the clubs leavefor their engagement at Concord Fri-day evening. The nanagement wishesto lay emphasis on this appointmentand to urge every member to be onhand.

EXPECT TO DECIDEON REDUCTION ATSSSION TOMORROW

Institute Committee ChangesWill Be Discussed by

Both Factions

BITTER FEELING AROUSED

Large Audience of Students WillProbably Be Present

At Wrangle

Tomorrows evening at 5 o'clock theInstitute Comlmlittee will decide wheth-er or not to make the cuts which havebeen hanging fire for the past fewweeks. -Much arguinent has been pro-duced pro and can, with each of theaffected parties certain that his activityshould not suver a decrease in repre-sentation, and others advancing rcas-ons whet some or all of the proposedcuts should be made.

The general conicensus of opinionseems to be this the combined socie-ties do not see that ant· cuts are ne-cessary, but if thiey fail they do notwant to fall alone. The publicationsior the nzost part belieie that the Pro-fessional Societies representationshould remain as it is. A. G. Hall '25chairman of the Dormitorv Comnmittee,declares "The reason the ProfessionalSocieties are suggesting that the Dormreuesentation be cut is that they hateto see their ovn representation cutdown while we retain ours. The reve-lations of conditions in the Back Bayrecently made, and the interest whichthe Allunni are showing in plans forincreasing Dormitory facilities provesthe inmportanlt part which Isle take instudent life."

Bitter Feeling ArousedMiuch bitter feeling has been aroused,

Sind it is probable that sparks will flyat the nieeting tomorrow. Almostevervone has taken sides one way orto-c other, and it is expected that com-rments from spectators eill help enliventhe mreeting. Probably a larger crowdthan ever before will attend the meet-ing, which is open to all the studentbody.

Dean Talbot sats, "This is a thingwhich the students must work out forthemselves. I have never even attend-ed a meeting of the Institute Commit-tee, and the decision is entirely up tothem."

The plan originally sugested wasthat the number of members of theCon bined Clubs who represent thatb~o 'i on the Institute Committee be re-duceci froin eight to two. Then theadditional suggestion was made thatthe three Dormitory Committee mem-bers be replaced by one, and that thefour publications, instead of each hav-ing a representative on the committee,have one for all four. The plan wassuggested about two weeks ago, andcornimclt has been rife since. How-ever, the Conmmittee will probably de-cidle once for all tonorrow.

FACULTY MEETINGWILL OFFICIALLY

TALK OVER PLANMay Be Decided Finally When

Faculty Holds RegularMeeting Today

Not a single vote in favor of the twoterm svstem wvas recorded in the ballotcontducted bv THE TECH to discover theopillioII of the transfer students on therelative merits of the two systems. Theopinion of transfer students vas especi-alhv solicited because most of them hadhadl an opportunjity of working underboth svsterns.

Over 40 transfer students recorded bal-lots, in addition to many other studentswho took the occasion to express theirprotests. As was to be expected, somereasons <ccurred pith great frequencyon the ballots; others were quite orig-inal. Tile Faculty meets today to con-sider the change, and the Institute Com-mittee will present to them through acommittee appointed b~y its chairman anexpression of student opinion on thesubject which will include the statementsill THE TECH's ballots.

Objections RaisedThe most frequently observed reason

for retaining the three-term system wasthat it provided an unbroken first term,instead of giving exNaminations soon af-ter a long vacation period. The difficultyof arranging substitutes for the present10 and 20 houlr courses under the two-term- plan wvas also melltiollcd severaltinles.

One thing which particularly strucktransfer students weas the added facilityin program arrangement which the threeterm sy stemi gives to irregular students.AloIng the salve line wvas the commentthat exp~erience with both systems hadshowvl that the three term system gavea better unit for learning than the two.

Other comments on the proposedchange were made, so~me humorous 'andsome evidently based onl the past experi-enlce of the men. The fact that the pres-ent system gives three thorough reviewsa sear rather than two was ernphasized.The present plan, it was declared allowsone to concentrate on a smaller numberof subjects at a time. As was to beexpected, -one or twco mentioned that itwas easier to makse up) tenl weeks whichhad been flunlkcd than 15. And a greatmany declared, "Let the school year beextended, if the Faculty deems it neces-sary. tl w-otld (lo much better to havethe school y ear several weeks longerthan to go back to two terms."

QUOTA OF COMBINEDDRIVE FALLS SHORT

T. C. A. To Receive Same AmountAs Last Year to Carry

On Activities

Latest statistics oil the Combined Driveshow that up to date $2640.21 have beencollected, $1942.96 in cash and $697.25 ialunredeemed pledges. Individual donationsvaried all the vay from ten cents to$50.

Two hundred dollars more in pledgeswere collected this year than in lastvear's drive, but about $1800 less in cash.The receipts this year did not reach the$3000 set as a goal, but last year the goalof $4000 was surpassed.

Statistics show that the fraternities anddormitories responded better than lastyear, all the dormitories being 100 percentsubscribed with 28 of the 31 fraternitiesalso 100 percent, whereas only 21 fra-ternities were 100 percent last year. Thepercent of the student body contributingis not much different from last year, andthe percentages of the various classesthis year each run near the average.

T he receipts will be divided up betweenthe T.C.A. and the American Red Crossaccording to the plans made by the com-mittce before the drive started; the T. C.A. vill receive $2000 and the remaindermin1Us a small amount for the expensesof conducting the drive will be given tothe Red Cross. The T. C. A. declaresthat the drive was entirely satisfactoryto the organization since it will receivethe same amount as last year and willle able to continue its activities as inthe past year.

Several men have already paid up theirilledges, so that the amount of unre-dleemed pledges has been reduced nearlvone hundred dollars. The treasurer Dfthe dri re desires that all outstandingvledges be paid up as soon as possiblein order that the beneficiaries of shedrive may be paid the sum coming tothem.

SENIORS ARE SLOW INHAVING PICTURES MADEOnly 135 Seniors have reported to

the photographer in the newly madestudio in room 3-410. After the Tech-nique has taken the trouble to makethe task as light as possible and nothave the Seniors travel into Boston,"itseems as if the Scniors would flock in-to the studio and fill up the book. In-stead the photographer is compelled toread magazines or chew gum all dayin order to pass away the time."

The photographer has been at theIlstitute now a week and will not behere after the last of next week as thepictures must be finished within twoweeks. "Photographs made in a hurryare bound to be poorly made and thenI am blamed for not taking a good pho-tograph" stated the photographer,"andunless they start coming in right awaythere will be a big rush at the end ofnext week."

The photographer is at the studiodaily from 9:30 to 12:30 and in theafternoon from 1:30 to 4:30.

Having read many of the argumentspro and con, may I take a few morelines than your ballot affords to hazardan expression of feeling growing out offour years of undergraduate experienceat a university using the two semestersystem. The average undergraduate(imyself one but a few years ago) isblessed with youth, inexperience, a cer-tain indefiniteness of purpose, ignor-ance of how to organize his life andorder his daily activities, and ignoranceof how to study effectively. He doesnot find himself until his Junior 'ear inmost cases. He does not wilfully neg-lect his work or nmisuse his time. I-iemerely gets swamped and loses his en-thusiasm for study. That student needsthe frequent pressure afforded by theapproach of a final examination.

Whether a student will loaf a greaterpercentage of the tinme during a ten ora fifteen week period is of not nearlyso great consequence as the opportun-ity to get back on the track, start fresh,get a footing as often as possible, andbegin again with a clear slate.

From teaching experience I can agreethat administering an examination morefrequently than necessary is no pleas-ure and that anv measure which willsimplify the work of the professor isdue for serious consideration. At thesame time, of what use is it to continueto instruct for five more weeks a stu-dent who is not grasping the subject?There would seem to be a distinct gainin tine saved to the student throughthe frequent sorting of flunkers andmisfits afforded bv the three term plan.Is it not safe to sav that most flunkingis done in the first ten weeks?

Tech is not a secondary school,-true. And perhaps admission mightbe restricted to those who have foundthemselves. organized their lives abouta great purpose, and are possessed ofan innate determination and unremit-ting drive in conquest of obstacles inthe path of learning. Such students,given laboratories, great books, andcontact with great minds could not beprevented from getting a high order oftraining. There would be no need forfrequent pressure and the situationwould approach what we are told ob-tains in the universities of England to-dav.

The communication of ProfessorPassano seems to me to be very muchto the point. To my mind, he has ef-fectively reduced the controversy, how-ever, to this basis: Shall higher edu-cation as represented by Technologybe for those relatively few who arestrong, who are able to drive forwardunremittingly by dint of their own highpurpose, or shall Technology effective-lv train the largest possible percentageof those who enter the Institute, thoserelatively inefficient individuals whohave not yet found themselves?

The average Professor need not bereminded that he in his undergraduate:lavs ,vas decidedly superior to mostif us as a student. That's why we ad-mire him and why we come half waycross the country and pay our hard

,arned money to sit under his tutelageHe will not be unduly quick to sayhat the needs of only the more inde-pendent and self-reliant student de-erve consideration.Please accept this merely as a hum-

')le contribution to the expression ofhe student's point of view. I, formne, shall not feel grieved, whatever'ction may be taken. I am strong for'he retention (Df the three term yearvith whatever modifications may benecessary to preserve the prof's goodhorning smile.

f ~ 5-ahl At the Playhouses

WALTER HAMPDEN STARSIN CYRANO deBERGERAC

oCyrano de Bergerac, which openedat the Boston Opera House, Monday,is a story of the swashbuckling exis-tence led by Cvrano and his fellowguardsmen-a vivid tale of the gloryand glamor of sword play, of menready to fight at the slightest provoca-tion, who win every woman they woo,of the tragic inferiority complex ofCyrano, brave, poetic, eloquent, boast-ful, yet afraid to tell his adored Rox-ane of his love.

Hampden, as Cyrano de Bergerac, iswonderful. He is practically the wholeshow, though so skillfully does he actthat he does aot seem unduly to mon-opolize the limelight. Romantic, pic-turesque. hulmorous ;et pathetic, heimakes, the auw.:ence forget his repulsiveappearance, and respect and pity hin.T he poetic, lovable soul of Cyrancmakes hinm, attractive despite his ugli-ness. He reminds one of d'Artagnan.Adventurous and daring to a fault;fighting against seemingly overwhelh-n-ilg odds; loving passionately, but help-inig his rival (a stupid feliow with abeautiful face) to win the womanwhom he desires above all else. Cy-rano coaches this silly puppet in the artof making love, getting a certainamount of bitter pleasure in his suc-cess. His beautiful self sacrifice holdsthe audience spell bound.

The play is unusually well staged.A very large cast, admirably trained,supp. orts Hampden without drawing at-tention from him. A battle scene isniost realistic. A duel in rhvyme isvery effective. Cyrano improvises ashe thrusts and parries, thrusting homeat the end of the verse.

Cyrano de Bergerac really existed inreal life. He was a braggart with highideals and a deadly Mlade, but witha tremendous nose. After a stormylife, he was killed Iby a servant in thestreet, the finishing touch to the dis-grace of a nian who always picturedfor himself a valiant death by theswxord in an honorable encounter.

Roxane, Cyrano's beloved but unob-tainable sweetheart, Christian, the sillyass who wins her, and a pastry cookwho lets his love for poetry get thebetter of him, are the only characterswho have Cmuch prominence. All oth-ers are subordinated to the outstandingimportance of Cyrano. All in all, it isa delightful revival of Rostand's bestplay, effectively put on by one of Am-erica's foremost actors.

rectly vote requires a knowledge of the preferential ballot andthe method of counting. On page 57 of the Student's Handbook,the Constitutional Provisions governing voting are set forth. Fresh-men should read this carefully before going to the polls.

Essentially the preferential system is this: Each man votesfor as many nominees as he wishes, numbering them in order ofpreference. Then, in counting, the first choices are tabulated, and ifno nominee obtains a majority, the only one having the smallestnumber of first choices is thrown out. Then his ballots are re-distributed in accordance with their second choices. If still noone has a mtajority this process is repeated until finally a man hasa majority. If twyo men are to be elected, substantially the sameprocess is gone through separately, first getting a majority forone man, then starting over again till a majority is obtained foranother maln.

The preferential system excludes the possibility of a man's beingelected by a small plurality, without having secured anywherenear a majority of the votes cast. It also cuts down any possi-bility of political maneuvering, such attempts reacting to the dis-advantage of anyone attempting it. The balloting at the polls iscarefully supervised: individual booths are provided so that every-one may vote in secrecy, while the form of the ballots preventsdouble voting.

We again urge all freshmen to vote. A heavy vote is indicativeof a commendable class spirit. We also call upon the freshmen tovote for reliable, stable men.-As an old philosopher put it, "I seeno virtue where I smell no sweat."

THE TRUE PROBLEM

N view of the Institute Committee meeting tomorrow afternoon,we wish to take this opportunity to point out a consideration

which has not been particularly emphasized in connection withthe many and sundry arguments on the reduction of the committee.This is that the principal object of the motion is not primarily toachieve a reduction, but rather to make the committee more ef-ficient by pruning out unnecessary membership.

When the present Institute Committee was started, and its con-stitution drawn up, representation from every activity, society, andso on was permitted. Realizing that such representation might intime become cumbersome, and unnecessary on account of cross-representation, the framers of the constitution provided that anyrepresentative could lose his seat by a two-thirds majority vote ofthe committee.

Such a state of affairs is now existent, and the question is nothow many organizations shall lose their seats on the InstituteCommittee, but which representatives are least essential. The leastessential ones are those who represent organizations which havethe least to do with the legislation of the Institute Committee.The present Institute Committee representation is in effect bygroups-the dormitories, the classes, athletics, Professional So-ceties, publications, and so on. At present each of eight of the Pro-fessional Societies is represented by one man, which makes therepresentation for that group greatly out of proportion to theamount of business transacted by the Professional Societies as awhole and to the number of men they represent. Hence this groupis the most logical candidate for reduction.

"JUDY DROPS IN" ATST. JAMES THIS WEEK

The St. James this week is givinga rather amusing comedy productionwhich, though full of ridiculous situa-tions is hardly up to the usual stan-dard maintained by the players. Theacting in many places is decidedlyforced but this is not so much the faultof the actors as that of the playwrightfor the situations are at times so un-usual that they require forced actingto bring out the full humorous content.

Richardson carries off his part some-what better than the rest while Nedellfollows him a very close second. MissHitz's part of the beautiful misunder-stood maiden really does not fit inwith the rest of the play as it needsvery dramatic acting to carry it offwhile true drama would appear ludic-rous in such a setting. ConsequentlyMiss Hitz cannot be blamed if she isundecided whether to act or to followthe lead of the four young students inpresenting a type of the good oldfashioned slapstick.

As a buxom and hot tempered Irishlandlady Miss Layng is by far the mostinteresting character study of the pro-duction. Her dialect is perfect andshe was able to put more real dramainto her part than perhaps any of theothers.

In some respects it is unusual thatthe play should have had such a longrun on Broadway for it is not the kindthat one would wish to see more thanonce, but as a pure comedy piece it willprove enjoyable to anyone preferringthat type of amusement. R W D
