I]The Tech Prom IsslueAppears Friday Night

The Tech will not be dis-tributed at the regular timethis Friday, because of our spe-cial Junior Prom issue, which isto be issued at the dance onFriday night.

There comes a time in thelife of every newspapermanwhen he wants to get out ofjournalistic harness, and cutl3se hil print. The JuniorProm issue offers that oppor-tunity to the staff of The Tech,so we abandon all conservatismand air our gripes and fan-tasies. Those who are takingin the prom will find this issuean interesting souvenir, as wellas a good way to show theirdates what is -NOT going onaround the Institute.

Miller has been riding the crestof popularity for the last few years.Collegiate fans are his most de-voted followers and have beenmainly responsible for his rapidrise above the innumerable bandsof the country. His trombone, un-usual arrangements, and smoothsaxes are known to all. The band'svocalist, Marion Hutton, is also topsin her division, and equally wellknown.

The Walker Assemblies affair has|been among the outstanding dancesIof Ithe Technology calendar. TheIannual custom was begun in 1934,and is now a tradition. They aresponsored by the Walker MemorialStudent Staff, and are open onlyto the members of the staff andtheir guests.

T.C.A. Pledge IHoldoutsAsked To Come Across

Those men who have not asyet paid their T.C.A. pledgesare requested to make paymentat the Cashier's Office or theT.C.A. Office as soon as pos-sible. The great majority ofthe pledges were paid promptly,but a few men have yet to partwith their treasured lucre.

Clinton C. Kemp, '43, Chair-man of the T.C.A. Drive, pointso at that these pledges are asmuch of an obligation as anyother debt, and since they wereincurred several months ago,everyone has had ample timeto meet them.

The feature of the program wasProfessor Paul C. Eaton's speech,in which he told about his ex-periences with former debating or-ganizations at Technology. Profes-sor Eaton said that the present or-ganization was undoubtedly themost efficient one which he hadever met at this school. He added,jokingly, that this opinion waspartly due to the fact that the De-bating Society, when it asked himto sponsor last year's freshman de-bate tournament, saw to it that hissection won. Retiring presidentRaymond F. Frankel announcedthat Professor Eaton would beawarded a cup for coaching hissection to victory. The cut will be-come an annual award.

Gold Key for FrankelAt the banquet, George Musgrave

presented Frankel with a gift fromthe society, a gold key, in appre-ciation of his work done during thepast year.

SUMMER SENIORSThe recently-announced acceleration pro-ram for the Class

of 1943 has lef t in doubt the status of man), of the Seniors'ordinary peace-time activities. Among these is Senior W~eek,the one evtent in which the entire class takes part.

If the present Junior Class is to halEe its Senior Week itshould start planning immediately. The usual procedure fol-lowed for the past few years has been to elect the Senior WeekCommittee in the early part of the first term s:) that it will haveample time to make arrangements for the various affairs thatconstitute Senior Week. Inl accordance with this idea, theJuniors may insure the success of their Senior W~eek mrith anearly election of the Committee.

A near duty could very easily be assuaged by the 1943 SeniorWeek Comamittee, that is the provision of entertainment in theform of social events for the Class of 1943, which must remainat the Institute for the compulsory summer session. The regu-lar Senior Dance, which is usually held during thle first term ofthe Senior year, could be supplemented by occasional and lessexpensive informal ,affairs throughout the summner when sociallife at Technology wrill undoubtedly hit a new low.

We suggest that the Junior Class elect its Senior WeekCommittee in the regular class elections on March 2 5 so that

Iplans can be formulated at once and the summer social lifestepped up to the tempo of the regular winter terms.

REVIVAL WITH A PURPOSEIt is a lamentable situation which exists when a college

organization has to go abroad to gain material for its campus,activities. But that isexactly what happened recently whenthe Dramashop selected a play written by a Harvard man forits latest production.

Dramashop, has in the past experienced a good deal oftrouble in wrangling enough support from the student body to

jsify its existence and to 'rvde a satisfactory turnout at its

productions. Handicapped by the lack of an auditorium onthe campus or in the very near vicinity, Dramashop has seem-ingly been unable to attract the students in any great numberswith its several productions a year staged in Boston and HarvardSquare playhouses or in the far too undramatical atmosphereof Room 10-250.

The problem of Dramashop, then, is to arouse interestamong the student body by some other means than the prox-imity of its activities; it must make the students want to see itsplays even though they must travel some distance from theInstitute. The best way to do that is to sponsor a theatricalwhich will be written, directed, and enacted by the studentmembers of Dramash~op alone. NN~e do not propose an endeavoras gigantic as the now defunct All-Tech Show, which was thecause of more than one man's scholastic failure; but we dorecommend that the Dramashop stage an All-Tech Play in anattempt to gain the students' active support and to revive, atleast partially, one of Technology's few traditions.

SOPHOMORES, TURN OUTi T~~hen the Institute announced that the Junior Class would

go to school this summer, it also informed the Sophomores thatthey would have to work in defense industries at the same time

and submit a report of their vacation positions to their registra-tion officers in the falls This Friday at noon in Room 10-250,Nathaniel McL. Sage, Placement Officer, will explain to theSophmores exactly what is expected of them.

To the Sophomores, we suggest that they attend the lecturein full force. In this way, they Swill be able to learn where theywill be of the most use and how they can do the most good.

Investigation of this report setmnathematical geniuses up at Har-ivard to work.

w~ould correspond in general to the i,relationship of our congress to the|several states.]

Streit lists the following advan-itages of such a union. First, helclaims that we would be in a muchsetter position to win this war.

After the war the union would actas a tremendous stabilizing forceIn an unstable world. In the futureorder it would be a daring nation"hat would think of attacking sucha combine. In the making of thepost war peace, it would be impos-sible for petty self interests to creepin and separate the two countriessuch as happened in 1919 when thepeace conference became a "grab-what-you -can-and -devil take thehindmost" affair. Streit also main-tains that the lowering of tradebarriers within the union wouldcreate a tremendous increase ofconsumption which would result in-in increase of production which

wvould result in higher wages andtower general costs. This is synony-

.nous with a higher standard ofliving.

As time goes on, Streit proposesthat various other democratic coun-

tries be taken into this great fed-eral union. Thus, the eventual goalwould be a single world union. S

were: "How about some real j okes;our folks don't read the Mineranyway." or "The miners whodon't like the Miner jokes shouldtransfer to an Arts School ormaybe take up knitting.", and"There is only one type of paperthe latest Miner jokes should beprinted on, and it isn't news-

THE TECH

Political Problems-IsStreit's Unlion Now

One of the most controversialsubjects which confronts the Enog-Aish-speakinlg world today is theproposal which was miade byClarence Streit, a former Leagueof Nationls reporter for the NewYork Times, for a union betweenshe United States and GreatBritain.

Thtis questioll has aroused mostof its furor in the United States.John Q. Citizenl, ever since theAmerican Revolutionl, has beennaturally distrustful of the Britishl.This has been especially true dur-ing the last decade, when peopleheave been irked by the British WarDebt to the U. S., by the fatherlyattitutde the old British govern-ment took toward the Nazi move-ment in Germany, and by the factthat the British gave help to 'theConfederacy during the Waroetween the States. The tendency"over here" has been to think thatthis talk of unionl was British in-spired, and that the British wouldreap all the benefits of such amovement.

Some of these arguments may bejustified.. For the purpose of assist-ing clear thinking on the subject,we here present a brief resume ofil,-he facts inl the case.

Watches League of NationsClar ence Streit, to whom the

credit (or the blame) for this pro-posal has generally been given, wasLll Geneva in his capacity as af~oreign correspondent for the NewYork Times from 1929 to 1939,through the League's height ofpower to its present state of imn-potence. While watching the Leagueat work, he made a detailed studyof the uniting of the thirteenAmerican colonies. He came awaywith the conviction that the menwho formed the League of Nationshad a wrong basis.

Streit was convinced that (1) inthe modern world there was adefinite need for the nations of theworld to come together, and (2)that this could never be accom-plished through the medium of anallianc~e or league. He came to thesecond conclusion after examin-ing the failures of the originalthirteen American colonies whilethey were banded together underthe articles of confederation, andthe complete metamorphosis whichtook place after they formed atrue federal union.

since the outbreak of the war, is,or the United States and the Brit-.sh Empire to unite immediately.B~y this arrangement each of theBritish dominions would probably,
