Nominations for class officers mustbe filed in Rsoom 10-100 by 1 o'cloeb,next Tuesday, April 17, with twenty-five sponsors for each candidate in-stead of ten as formerly. The changein the constitution was made yester-day evening at the meeting of theInstitute Committee.

Other changes in the method ofnominations are that a candidate mayrun for only one office at a time and- that a man may sign only one numi-nation for each office. It was sug-gested that a motion be passed at themeeting to declare all nominationssigned before today be declared in-valid so that the nominations for thecoming elections could be included un-der the new rules, but the motion wasnever made or brought to a vote.

The elections will be held theWednesday after vacation, April 25.At that time a president, vice-presi-dent, secretary-treasurer, and tworepresentatives to the Institute Com-mittee will be elected from the classesof 1935, '36, and '37, and a perma-nent president and secretary will bechosen for the class of 1934. Theoffices of secretary and treasurer havebeen combined by action of the In-stitute Committee yesterday, and theelection of two members for the classexecutive committees has been elimi-nated.

Halfred L. McKeever, '34, chairmanof the Elections Committee, empha-sizes the fact that twenty-five spon-sors are required this year. Becausethe change was made but yesterday,the posters advertising the nomina-tions incorrectly state that ten spon-sors are required.

CLASS Ors140ftrIAuAND NOMINATIONS

RECENTLY CHANGEDInstitute Committee Revises

and Revamps StudentConstitution

Changing the undergraduate con-stitution and bringing it up to dateoccupied the Institute Committee atits regular meeting yesterday after-noon. The procedure of nominatingmen for class offices was changed sothat twventy-five sponsors are -now re-quired instead of the former ten, aman mzay run for only one office at atime, and men may sign only onenomination blank for each office.

Another change wvas in the officersto be elected. The office of treasurerwas combined with that of secretaryin the office of secretary-treasurer,and the positions of representativeson the class executive committeeswere eliminated. Moreover, electionsto the Senior Week Commnittee willhenceforth be counted by the prefer-ential system instead of the Hare-Spence system. This change does notaffect the actual voting, but only thework of counting by the electionscommittee.

Nominations provoked most discus-sion from the members of the coml-mittee. Joseph Seligman, '34, Secre-tary of the Institute Committee, ad-vocated the changes, saying that anyman who could not get twenty-fivesponsors stood a small chance of elec-tion. He also proposed enforcing thenewar uling that a man may sign onlyone nomination blank for each officeby depriving a moan of the right tovote if he broke the new regulation.He said that the exact method of en-forcement should be left to the Elec-tions Committee. When confronted'with the statement that the changewould be an ex post -facto act inas-much as some nomination papers havealready been signed, members of thecommittee suggested that all -nomina-tions signed before the meeting be de-clared invalid. The suggestion, how:-ever, never became a regulation.

The changes in the nominations'having been unanimously approved,further changes in the constitutionwere made in rapid succession. Theofficers of a class xvere changed toPresident, vice-president, and secre-tary-treasurer with twvo class repre-sentatives on the Institute Committee,and the method of counting the SeniorWeek elections was revised.

Contrary to statements made byseveral newspapers yesterday, mem-bers of the Sigma Alpha Mu frater-nity, whose house at 83 Egmontstreet, Brookline, suffered a $5,000fire yesterday morning, w^alked or randowen the stairs and left the building

lbyr the conventional exits. Sonic re-ports of the catastrophe stated thatall or somze of the brothers jumpedfrom the second and third story win-dowvs.

Cause UnknownInspectors yesterday wvere unable

to determine the cause of the blaze,which started in the basement of thebuilding directly under the front hall-way. Although the source of the firewas estimated to be a fews feet fromtthe furnace, it wvas deemed impossiblethat it could have been the cause. Itwas still functioning normally today.Experts also asserted that the condi-tion of the wiring indicated that itwas installed so as not to endangerthe building.

House Still LivableOnly one room in the house was

damaged to such an extent as to makeit unlivable, and this afternoon life inthe -fraternity wvas only slightly al-tered from the regular routine.

sonalities, it is not difficult to see how incon-gruous the T. E. N.'s editorial really is.

Of course the editorial may merely be anadmission that the system of electing men toresponsible positions on the basis of their so-cial affiliations has not turned out fortunatelyfor the magazine and that it warns other ac-tivities to take counsel from an experiencethat has made it sadder and wiser. Perhapsthe editor is honestly unfamiliar with the factthat the vicious system he condemns is anapparent institution on his own publication.

Just as the editorial states, such control isunhealthful both for the students and for theactivities. Yet the great difficulty is thatthere is little that can be done about it unlessthe ruling powers either voluntarily correctthe situation or become forced to do so by thepressure of public opinion. It would hardly bewise to have a regulation on prohibiting theheads of activities from choosing their ownsuccessors. And rationalization is so good asubstitute for reason that fraternity brotherswill always be chosen with clarity of con-science as the "best men." Even sociologistshave considered this problem of irrelevantselection one of the knottiest in their science.The only possible means of rectifying one-sidedcontrol is to convince those whom a long termof power has corrupted that it is really theactivity that is done lasting harm by inferiormanagement and personnel.

PHOS PURRS

PHOS purrs with pleasure at the signs ofXrenewed spirit and interest shown by thestudent body yesterday when practically theentire issue was sold out before noon. This ishardly up to the standard set in the good olddays when its circulation reached the figureof 3,000, but it shows a definite trend of in-creased interest from the depression figureof 800, when one man supplied all his friendsand enemies with his Voo Doo. Phos can'thelp remarking on the evident fact that it isthe dormitory men and commuters who areshowing the greater interest in the Institute'spublications. This seems inconsistent withthe fraternity policy of activity support shownby their determined efforts to be representedin the staffs of all publications. They mightrealize that there is another vital method ofsupporting the Institute's publications, name-ly, buying the publication itself. Perhaps ifthis fact had been realized in the last twoyears these publications would not have suf-fered the losses which this lack of support hasproduced. However, from all indications, itappears that the student body is catching abit of that stranger to the Institute's domain,school spirit.

FACTS AN D F IGlURES

N THIS issue of THE TECH are publishedthe results of a recent investigation to de-

termine the experiences and preferences ofTechnology men in their high and preparatoryschools. The statistics in themselves perhapsprovide rather uninteresting reading. Theyoffer, however, an excellent opportunity forthe devotion of a little thought as to the rea-son for the meagre success that extra-cur-ricula activities enjoy at the Institute.

The single thing that has been criticizedmost extensively for this is the curriculum ofthe Institute. It is, as practically every highschool youth knows, "the toughest school inthe world." The difficulty of the courses is acontributary factor to the lack of success ofextra-curricula activities, but it is doubtfulthis offers the complete answer to the prob-lem.

The statistics disclose a very significantfact; many more freshmen declare interest inactivities than come out to participate in them.For example, 95 freshmen checked THE TECHon their T. C. A. cards; yet only 13 actuallycame out for it. Similar conditions exist inevery other activity. Such a drop in interestbetween the last part of August and the lastof September must have a reason.

There are several possibilities. Perhapsmany of the applicants were careless in fillingout their cards. Undoubtedly many of themfound that the activities required much moretime than they had expected. But even thesetwo suppositions cannot account for so tre-mendous a decrease. The only other hypoth-esis, that the activities themselves do not meetthe expectations of the new men, must cer-tainly be responsible for a large part of thisdrop.

Activity leaders do not make the activitiesattractive and interesting for the new men.To be sure, they hold mass meetings, display-ing multi-colored posters with their announce-ments. But the Technology nan is not at-tracted by colors and superfluities. The aver-age freshman, just entering Technology, isskeptical about taking on too many outsideinterests- he has heard -the various storiesreferred to above- he wants to be sure thathe will really be gaining by participation inactivities.

Of course, each activity offers a differenttype of physical or intellectual gain, andtherefore each will appeal to a different type

MANAGING BOARD Under PressutreSome mighty funny things happen

under pressure of impending catas-trophe, if only someone present keepshis wits about him and remembersthem. We were just fortunateenough to contact the one S.A.M. whoremnembered all the things that hisbrothers thought about when notifiedthat the house was on fire.

For instance, there's Pressler, theImmaculate. When he was awakenedhis first thought was of his well-tailored suits, which must be savedat all costs. He impulsively threwthem out of the window only to havethem land in a puddle of water. Butan hour later, when the fire hadbeen extinguished he discovered thathis room was one of those which hadnot suffered from the fire.

The freshman, as usual, came in forhis share of ridicule. He was the ladwho, at the height of the fire, decidedthat he needed a handkerchief to com-fort his sniffling, and almost starteda fight with the firemen because theywouldn't let him go back to his roomfor one.

Best of all, in the eyes of our in-former, happened after all the funwas over and the last smolderingcoals were dying out. The fire chief,supervising the cleaning up of thedebris, chastised one of his men whosebroom strokes were perpendicular tothe length of the boards, "Don't youknow that you should always sweepwith tile boards so you won't scarthe floor? You're a Hell of a house-keeper !"

escape the caustic tongue. We foundout from another of the fraters thatit was he, once a resident of Paris,who valued his passport above allother possessions. But it can be ex-

Selling by telephone gets results. In many linesof business, salesmen are finding they can covermore customers more often -and close more salesat lower cost-by telephone.

Bell System men have worked out a numberof plans for systematic market coverage by LongDistance telephone. They have also devised tele-phone plans for more efficient handling of pro-duction, purchasing, administration, distribution,collections.

Because Bell System service is fast, economi-cal, adaptable to specific needs, business more andmore turns to the telephone.

RESPONSI BILITY

ASTRONG defense for the apathy tooAcommonly displayed by students towardtheir class officers has been that these menheld positions of little responsibility and ofno direct importance to the electors.

The Institute Committee has replied byeliminating three offices from every class,namely, two posts on the executive committeeand the treasurer. To the objection raised byone member that there would be no one toassume the responsibilities of the office it wasreplied by a man who had held such a positionthat there were no responsibilities. The re-maining offices will undoubtedly be filled bymen who have enough work to make theirj obs worthwhile.

Thswas one of the series of motions theInstitute Committee passed in one of the mostinteresting and fruitful meetings of this term.

Ain amendment to the Elections CommitteeConstitution was made that for all class elec-tions there shall be signatures . of twenty-fivesponsors on the nomination blank and that noindividual may sign the nomination blank ofmore than one candidate for any office.

With all pr obability, the effect of thisamendment will be to limit the number ofcandidates to any one office, and the resultingconcentration of interest, plus the work whichmust be done before one can become a candi-date wvill undoubtedly spread informationwhich will make for elections emphasizingmerit more than is now the case.

Ain important step toward a mor e effectivestudent government has been made.

ONE-SIDED CONTROL

I77E Tech Engineering News, gener ally1 considered to be the best of our collegetechnical magazines, has finally taken -noticeof the fact that there are some student ac-tivities at the Institute which are controlledby one relatively small group of students,namely those belonging to fraternities. Inits May issue, it publishes an excellent edi-torial on this subject which appar ently de-plores the fact that in many activities it ispr actically impossible for a non-frater nityman, no matter what his mrneit, to attain aposition of author ity and importance. Itpoints out that some of the publications areso controlled by this minority group that theoutsiders who are elected to their managingboards are scarce.

The accuracy of these observations are un-questioned. However, it is lrather puzzling tointerpret the T. E. N.'s purpose in publishingthis editor ial when one considers that themagazine itself is to all appearances as muchunder, domination of the fraternities as anymajor activity at the Institute. Seven of thenine members of the present managing boardand eight of the nine on the last volume'shave been members of fraternities; and forthe past three volumes no noin-fraternity manhas been on the publication's senior board.

On the other hand, sixteen of the twenty-three members of the freshman staff and five.of the nine Sophomore staff members whowere not elected to the present managingboard are not members of fraternities. Thecorrelation between the proportional repre-sentation of fraternity men in the upper andin the lower brackets of staff positions is evi-dently negative. While it is impossible tocite further evidence without involving per-

VESTAL AND TAYLORSPEAK AT RALLY

(Contfinit1ed Ofr om Parge 1 )Colonel Vestal said that civil ovals

have taken more lives than interna-tional wars, and that civil wars arecontinual ashile international scars arespor adic. He denounced those whofavor civi. -wars in an attempt to doaway with international wcars, callingit an attempt of a minority to ruleover the majority. At the conclusionof his speech Colonel Vestal requestedthose wvho believed that the R. O.T. C. was the best means of preselrv-ing peace to rise. Between two-thirds and three-fourtbs of the audi-ence rose.

Taylor Favers Refusal to FightProfessor Charles E. Taylor, who

spoke after Colonel Vestal, said thatthe way to stop war was by individualand group action. "Nobody daresopenly to advocate war as a desir-able thing," he said, "but the disagree-ment starts when we take up theproblem of bow to stop it." He saidthat personal refusal to fight wouldprevent war. "As long as greatmasses of people are willing to fightwhen told to," said Professor Taylor,"4war is inevitable."

He said that tile personal courageto stand up against public opinion weasgr eater than mere physical courage.The attitude that preparedness is ameans of preventing war wvas said byProfessor Taylor to have been disap-proved by history. He said also thatwars do not settle problems, andpointed to the present situation inEurope as one proof of it.

In regard to the -view that wars areinevitable, Professor Taylor said thata ]hundred years ago the same vriewwas held with regard to personal war-fare, but this has -now been practi-cally eradicated. He advocated a re-duction of armaments, saying, "I liketo, think of what could be done withthe money nowv used for armaments."

BLAZE VICTIMS DENYJUMPED FROM WINDOW

None of the outside walls of thebuilding were burned through, and thehouse offered adequate protectionfrom the rainy weather of yesterday.Gas, electricity, and water conduitswere turned off, however.

Stiller Discovers Blaze

Bernard M. Stiller, '34, was the firstto discover the blaze, and it wasthrough his efforts that the rest ofthe residents of the house were awak-ened and got out before the way wvasblocked, according to testimony givenby the brothers. The house wasvacated about five minutes after Stil-ler first discovered the smell of smoke.

According to an electric clock whichstopped at the instant that one of thereires, near the source of the blaze,was burned through, the fire startedshortly before 4:13 yesterday morn-ing. Firemen had it completely un-der control and were starting to cleanup the debris less than forty-fivenainutes after this time.

Finals Played in4 Squash Tourneys

E d er, Bainbridge, Newman,Winners in Racquets

Contests

Playing one of his best games sincehe has been at Technology, JamesEder beat Ed Lueas in the finals ofthe Emerson Cup Tournament, 3-0,Wednesday. Eder played a consistentdriving game to win over the numberone man in straight sets, 15-3, 15-12,15-9.

In the other three tournamentswhich ended this week, John Bain-bridge beat Bill Timmerman, 3-0, forthe junior varsity trophy, John Masonwon over Morgan Rulon, 3-0, for thefreshman title, and Irving Newmanbeat Saul Comins for the Commuters'title.

Both finalists in the Emerson Tour-ney have been members of the squashteam for three years. Lucas was at-tempting to have his name inscribedon the cup for the second time in arow. This year's result is just thereverse of last, when Lucas won overEder, 3-1. Besides having his nameinscribed on the large cup, Eder willreceive a small trophy of his own, aswill the runner-up. The large cupwhich goes temporarily to the winnerof the annual tournament wasdonated three years ago by CharlesJ. Emerson, '04.

In winning the J. V. title, Bainbridgejustified his holding of the numberone position on the junior varsityteam. He has been the mainstay onthat team throughout the year, in itsgames against prep schools and localclubs. Mason likewise was numberone man of the freshmen and is nowin the semi-finals of the Interfrater-nity Tournament. Newman, the vic-tor in the Commuters' tournament,has been a regular on the varsityteam and recently received his letter.

Two Tournaments RemainWith five tournaments now comn-

pleted, including the Dorm tourneywhich ended a few weeks ago and waswon by Lucas, there remains onlythe Interfraternityf individual and theFaculty-Graduate tournaments. Bothof these are in the last stages andare expected to end before the springrecess.

John Mason is scheduled to playClaude Beaubien in the semi-finals todecide who will face Eder in the finalsof the Fraternity tournament. Al-though the Faculty-Graduate tourna-ment is still in the quarter-finals,Professor Louis F. Woodruff of theElectrical Engineering Department,and Claude Beaubien, graduate stu-dent, are the favorites to reach thefinals.

Granberg ElectedTo Lead Swimmers

Technology Records in 440, 220,Medley Relay Approved

by M. 1. T. A. A.

Robert J. Granberg, '35, of Chicago,was elected captain of next year'sswimming team at the annual banquetof the squad last night. He will haveto fill the shoes of Fred Vaughan,one of the best swimmers ever turnedout at Technology.

Granbersg has been a regular onthe varsity for the past twco years,and was also a member of his firlstyear team. He was in the 50 and 100yard free style events and also swamon the 400 yard relay team. In theshort dash, he often came close to theTechnology record of 25-1/10 secondsbut lvas never able to break it.

Over thirty men attended the ban-quet last night. Although there alasno guest speaker, Coach Max Unter-see said a few wrords on the progressof the team within the last few years,while Fr eshman Coach Sherman

Brown pointed out the excellent rec-ord of the first vear team this yearunder the captaincy of Cleon D~odge.

Although the varsity did not hangup such an impressive record thispast season, the individual work ofICaptain Fred Vaughan stands out for the year. He established two new|Technology recor ds which wnere offi- cially accepted by the -M.I.T.A.A. last week. The first was made in the 4401yard free style swimi at Mfiddletowrn,Conn. in a dual meet against Wes-|leyan on March 3. He set a newItime of 5 min. 27-2/5 seconds clip-ping the oldl mark by 5-2/5 seconds.

In the 220 yard free style. Vaughan|set another record of 2 min. 26 sec.,Icutting the old one by over twelve|seconds. This record weas also chalked up at the Wesleyan meet. The med- ley relay team composed of Radcliffe, G. Edmonds, Mr. H. Muller and B. O.lSummers set the third record of theseason at the University Club Pool|during the Newv England chanmpion- ,ships, a time of 5 min. 28-3/5 see.IAll these records wvere made under N.E.I.S.A. rules.

gTIME TRIALS HELDBY CREWS YESTERDAY

Varsity Wins in Slow Time OverHenley Distance; Other

Boats Lag

In spite of the absence of CoachHaines, a time trial over the Hen-ley distance was run last night, withthe varsity, junior varsity, sopho-mole heavies, second varsity, and sec-ond 150-pound varsity crews conpet-ing. The varsity 150-pound crew didnot lace since Bill Rothen, its numberthree man, has a spr ained wr ist. GuyHaines, the stroke of the 150-poundvarsity, officiated in place of hisfather.

The crews started off even, but atthe end of the first quarter mile thevarsity, junior varsity, and sopho-more heavies were out ahead. At thistime the varsity took up the strokeand pulled farther ahead leaving theJ. V.'s and sophomores behind. Whenthe varsity reached the bridge theyhad a length and a half lead on thejunior varsity and a txvo-lengths leadon the sophomores. The leaders thenhad the race well in hand, leaving theother two boats to battle it out forsecond place. With only about 50strokes to go, and the junior varsitya half length ahead, the sophomoresput on a final burst of speed thatpulled them over the finish line abouta length ahead of their opponents.The time for the race was seven and Ia half minutes, which is quite slowtime for the Henley distance.

Dormitory SophomoresTake Bath in Charles

Two dormitory sophomores,feeling their oats apparently,took a late evening dip in theCharles Monday night, in theneighborhood of the CottageFarm Bridge,

It all started when one offeredto jump off the Harvard bridgeif someone would "walk himover." His offer accepted, he im-mediately backed down and re.fused to go. Feeling that per-haps he did need a bath, a con-descending soul next door offeredto go in with him, and after muchargument the offer was accepted.

After preparations such asGertrude Ederly might make toswim the channel, the two ath-letes plunged in the murkydepths, and after six strokesapiece, emerged dripping andshivering, but quite triumphant.
