SHERWOOD'S PLAYBRINGS LAUGHTER.

HEARTY APPLAUSEPerformance Wins Enthusiastic

Reception From FirstNight Audience

2 MO RE PERFORMANCES

Before a full house of Institute pro-fessors turned first-niglitcrs, the Drama-shop last night gave the first performanceof "The Queen's Husband" in the Com-mons Room at Rogers. The audience ofFaculty members and their wives, includ-ing President Xarl T. Compton and Dr.Samuel C. Prescott, applauded enthusi-astically a production which was thor-oughly enjoyable throughout, containinga number of excellent individual per-formances.

The central figure is the Queen's hus-band, King Eric VIITI who is unfitted,both by temperament and by marriage,for his job. His major interest is playingcheckers with his chief footman, whilehaughty Queen Mlartha, assisted by oilyLord Birten, the Foreign Minlister, andbombastic General NTorthrup, the PrimeMinister, rule the realm with an iron hand.His daughter, Princess Anne, contractslove with the King's secretary; but hermother plans a marriage of state so onePrince William of Greck, philanderingheir to a throne.

Henry A. Cashman '34 is King Eric.As such it is his duty to run at the beckand call of Her Majesty, to hear her clar-acteristic greeting, "Well, where have youbeen!"; to comfort his daughter and takeorders from his Prime Minister, meanwhilemaking sundry philosophical observationson the trials and tribulations of kings.His was the most consistently enjoyableperformance of the evening.

The cast made few mistakes, and gaveevidence of talent and training. The maleparts were the most successful; in par-ticular, Charles W. Ball '34, as PrinceWilliam, drew deserved applause at theend of his short performance on the stage.James J. Souder '36, as Lord Birten, wasa delightfully wily Foreign Minister. Ger-ald C. Hudson '35, was a swaggering,hypocritically patriotic, bloodthirstyPrime Minister.

Feminine HonorsPriscilla Bacon's "Princess Annie," and

Nathalia Ulman's "Queen Martha" car-ried off the feminine honors. The latterwas impressive in stage presence, theformer sincere and practical. Norman M.Johnson '34, as the old footman, was stiffwith age and the dignity of his station.Charles H. Fischer, as the King's sec-retary, was Handsome and humble, anexcellent partner for the Princess.

Unusual "properties" featuring the playare bursts of gunfire, bombs falling with-out, falling plaster and shattering glass.An unobtrusive musical background isintroduced in some scenes, and in othersmakes ludicrous comment at the entranceof certain characters.

Report Mlonday

Supporting the Institute Committee inits stand to identify the authors of thebanned Filter Paper, the Dormitory Com-mittee, representing the undergraduategroup livring in the Technology Dormi-tories, passed the following resolution lastMfonday which was transmitted to theInstitute Commuittee in a letter yesterdayafternoon:

Resolved: "That the publication of theFilter Paper by certain students residingin the Dormitories, in violation of thedecree of the Institute Cortutittee andthe President of the Institute wvas withoutthe sanction or the k-nowledge of the Dor-mitory Committee. The Dormitory Com-mittee wvishes to go on record as upholdingsuch disciplinary action as may be takenagainst the offenders to protect the prin-ciples of student government."

Ihe Dormitory Committee stated thatIthis resolution was passed to show that it

is solidly behind the Institute Committeein anly action it mzay take.

Empower Executive CommitteeAt the samne meeting a motion wvas ap-

proved stating "That the Institute Com-mittee empower the Executive Committeeto sit as an official investigating committeeconcerning the publication of a FilterPa per; that it arrange the charges andpresent recommendations to the InstituteCommnittee."

Results of the investigation will be pre-sented at a special closed meeting of theInstitute Committee to be held in theWest Lounge of Walker Memorial at 5o'clock Monday afternoon. The recom-menidations of the Executive Committee'will be made at that time.

Is Test of AuthorityMembers of the Institute Committee

are of the opinion that the controversycaused by the appearance of the FilterPaper is a test of the authority of studentgovernment at Technology and that everyeffort should be made to protect the goodname of the undergraduate organization.

Inl addition to the action taken in regardto Filter Paper the Institute Comnmitteetransacted a large amount" of routine busi-ness. Appointments to the FreshmanRules Committee and the elections ofofficers of the Combined Musical Clubsand of the M.L.T.A.A. were accepted. Theresignation of Arthur N. Rinehimer '32,chairman of the Points System Committee,wvas also accepted, and Roger P. Congdon'33, was appointed acting-chairman ofthat group.

The appointment of William Brock-niann '34, and Gorham K. Crosby '34 tothe Elections Committee was approved.The formal report of the Junior PromCommittee, submitted by Richard L. Ftos-sett '33, president of the Junior Class, wasaccepted. The meeting adjourned aftersetting April 28 as the date for the nextmeeting.

TECH - IN - TURKEYPROJECT DROPPED

FOR COMING YEARWill Send No Repiresentative

To Turkey Until 1933,TF. C. A. Plans

TECH ICABIN IS CAUSE

At a special meeting of the Cabinet andAdvisory Board of the Technology Chris-tian Association held Wednesday evening,the Cabinet passed the following motion:"That the department of Tech-in-Turkeysuspend for one year the sending of a rep-resentative to Robert College."

This action was finally decided upon inorder to meet the decreased budget.Furthermore, the money voted in thespring to send the representative is notsubscribed until the following fall drive.Since there is difficulty in predicting nextfall's drive due to subnormal conditions,the present Cabinet feels that the judiciouspolicy is to decrease the Tech-in-Turkeybudget for one year and put this fall'sdrive amount towards the representativesent the next summer.

T.C.A. Will Continue Project in 1933It has always been the policy of the

T.C.A. to include in its regular programthis Tech-in-Turkey project. The T.C.A.has long felt that the sending of a rep-resentative to Robert College wvas aworthy cause for expenditure. As men-tioned in the above paragraph, the T.C.A.does not mean to discontinue its Tech-in-Turkey program for good; it merely in-tends to deviate from its regular customfor next' year only. In 1933, the rep-resentative will once more be sent out.

There are several good reasons whysuch an action wvas necessary. One causeis the -recent decrease in next year'sbudget. Tech-in-Turkey annually requires$1,200 for expenses and is of such naturethat either all of this amount or none mustbe appropriated. Consequently, thoughall the other items of the T.C.A. may bescaled down to a minimum, the Tech-in-Turkey project still requires over a thou-sand dollars.

The Tech Cabin wvas the considerationof primary importance. The constructionof this cabin cost the T.C.A. six thousanddollars. The T.C.A. still owes $5,100 onthis debt and the Cabinet and AdvisoryBoard feel that before supporting foreigninterests, they ought first to be sure thatthey wtill be able to handle matters of somuch more direct interest to the studentbody as a whole.

EXTRA ! BONFIRE!Spring, much study, and the sug-

gestion received from the concretemixer used at the tennis courts,may be the reason for a bonfire be-tween the new dormitories and theEastman Laboratory Building lastnight. A large and enthusiasticcrowd surged around the burningpile, under which were two dil-apidated automobiles, but the sceneof activities was soon transferredto the steps of Walker where theconcrete mixer chugged away mer-rily in the center of a large group,when THIE TECH went to press.

.By Grace of God, and the indulgenceof the managers of the Dramashop, to saynothing of the pull of THE TECH higher--ups, whatever they are, the Lounger for-sook the thin white light of scholarship towitness backstage life at the opening nightof "The Queen's Husband," the old fakir.Anad thus it comes.

And the Lounger must use preciousspace to say that it was worth it, worthalmost anything, in fact. Ah, gentlereader, if only you could have witnessedthe sigh of relief that arose when GeneralNorthrup remembered to order thebombers into action; if you, too, couldhave felt the clamminess of the leadinglady's hands (sorry, Nathalia, but jootyis jooty) as she went on the stage for herlines, if you could have lighted the Sec-retary's cigarette, between the acts-then, gentle reader, would you haveknown the warmth that suffused thecockles of the Lounger's heart as he wan-dered amongst the actors, stealing linesfor his dirty old copy. As the Loungerlooks back on it all, however, it was theleading lady's hands that caused the mostsuffusion (jooty before sediment again,Miss Ulman).

But there was Tragedy stalking amongstthis homelike scene, too, laying his blight-inlg hand on the innocent merriment ofthese charming peoples. I speak, s-uh, ofold T. Kresser himself, known in song andwitty story throughout our ancient halls.

Kresser, you must know, is the intelli-gentsia leader of a hoi polloi revolution,and as such, appears before his publicwith a most scholarly and professorialbeard, a la graduated Van Dyke. Well, asI started to say, poor old Kresser wassitting there amongst the backstage whis-pers, perched out of harm's way on a highstool, disconsolately fingering his beard.

Sneaking up behind him, that oldneanie, the Lounger, heard him remark

STUDENTS SUPIDORT THEIR AUTHORITYTHE Institute Committee of the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology Undergraduate Association, through its Execu-tive Committee, has during the past few days been engaged in anactivity which is to protect the good name of this institution andits student government. In direct contradiction to the expressedrecommendation of the student governing organization that sucha paper not appear this spring, certain members of the under-graduate body published and placed on sale a Filter Paper. Thisaction on the part of a very few students was contrary to thewishes of the student body at large, which for the most part wasopposed to such a paper or indifferent to the whole matter.

W~hile at timnes it may appear that the student group has littleinterest in undergraduate organizations, when an occasion ofspecial interest a-rises, the majority of the Institute undergraduatesmay be depended on to support their own governing body in theproper regulation of student affairs. The Institute Commnittee inits efforts to identify the amateur publishers who issued the" yellow journal" has the support of the greater portion of the stu-dent body. Whenever an occasion has arisen at Technology whenthe prestige of the undergraduate government has been threatenedby a small bout vociferous minority, the student body has spokenas a mass and supported its representatives in any action taken.The immediate activity of the Institute Committee in this instancewill receive student commendation and support.

The Undergraduate Association of the Institute is probablyunique among college gosvernmnents for the almost perfect freedomfrom Faculty control tunder which it operates. This trust of theFaculty and Administration has not beent-nisplaced. The studentshave timhe and again demonstrated that they can properly managetheir affairs.

Some form of g:overning body is essential to any society,national, community, or institutional. The students have shownthemsels es to be on the side of those who exercise control so longas this power is not abused, and the population of this countryhas also so indicated itself. The American nation as a whole is apeace-lov~ing group and one which will maintain its traditions andideals of harmnony wi-thin the ranks and respect for the duly conl-stituted authority. Those echo flaunt this authority do so contraryto the majority opinion -which will support those in control inwrhatev~er action may be taken. The people of America are funda-ment-ally ag:ainst those echo would tear down its institutions, andthe students are an important part of this people.

EXPERUIENCE SPEAKS'TvITH the submitting, of the formal report of the 19032 Junior

Prom Committee to the Institute Committee yesterday after-noon, the affairs of this group which annually enters upon its dutiesweith little or no preparation for or acquaintance faith1 its work-weere brought to a close for another year. In submitting the reportRichard L. Fossett, Jr. '3.3, chairman of the Committee, read thebrief yet important recommendations. The Committee feels thatif these recommendations a-re followed a more successful Prom -willresult. Having the experience of conducting- the most recent ofthis, the outstanding social event of the year, the Committee is ina position to lmnow what should be done to better the Prom, andtheir sugg-estions should carry considerable -weight with the Com.-mittee of next spring.

The Prom Committee of 19332 has recommended to its suc-cessor but one definite change: that the price of the Prom bereduced to six or seven dollars. In addition to this direct recom.-mendati~on, the Committee makes numerous suggestions all ofwhich would improve the Prom. These include such things ashavting a smaller number of dances but having, them all, a smallerexpenditure for an orchestra, and perhaps the elimination of favors,but the Committee says that in no case should changes be made'which w ill cause the Prom to lose its significance as the outstandingsocial event of the Technology calendar. These suggestions meetwith popular approval, for they are all. such that they wouldimprov e the Junior Prom.

to have one like this." There followed

silence and more beard-fingering, then asigh of regret and finally, defensively,"Well, it would only take a couple ofyears, anyway." Shed a silent tear, dearreader, for ambition and a young man'sprayer, early frustrated.

The Lounger was bitterly disappointedat the sound effects. Instead of the niceshells going wheeeeeeeep, bam-bop, withthe prompter bouncing on the stage atodd moments, there was a horrid trans-cription thing which gave a perfectly per-fect effect of a nassy old bomber droppingthings about the players' ears. Even thehigher realms of dramatic art, yes I saidart, are sooner or later invated by thatby-product of the Ford factory, standard-ization.

The Lounger perceives, upon readingthe work of his favorite author in the lastedition, that the editors were just meanenough to cut off one of his little anec-dotes right in the middle, and so end thecolumn on a rising note. The story in-volved the Queen, who perked up in themiddle of the coach's speech, by courtesyof Professor Fuller, when that worthy wasasking for a nice, ornate cigar-box for theKing not to lake cigars from.

Possibly inspired by the word ornate,our Queen immediately broke the em-barrassed silence that followed to say,"Well, anyway, I have a swell candelabrahome. It holds seven candles, too." Well,to make a point to the story, the firstthing the Lounger noticed was the can-delabra, blazing in full seven-candle-power glory, just to the left of the stage.That is, after the Queen pridefully pointedout her little contribution to your humblecorrespondent.

TRACK MlEN HOLDPRACTICE TODAY

Coach Hedlund Plans HandicapEvents Saturday If The

Weather HoldsCoach Oscar Hedlund has planned a

stiff practice session for his track squadtomorrow afternoon, and if the weatherpermits he may run a few handicap events.Aided by the typical spring weather, therunners are rounding into condition muchfaster than was expected. The caretakershave spent the last week smoothing androlling the cinder path and it is in the bestcondition of the season.

Coaches Bowie and Hedlund have awealth of material from which to pick thevarsity team. Dick Bell and Lou Hallidaywill probably represent the Institute inthe dashes. In the quarter-mile Mullliken,Jewett, Rosas, and Schwarz seem to havethe edge. Johnny Barrett and GoochySmith are thtjick of the half-milers, whileBob Mann and Ellery Clarke lead the fieldin the mile. Jack Kearns, the veterancross-country runner, looks fine in the two-mile run.

In the field events Bob Bowie has Rim-bach and Etstein in the hammer throw;Bailey, McAleer, Dahl Hanson, and MaxWinerman in the shot-put; and Bailey andEtstein in the discus. Walt Wrigley,Lockhart, and Kinraide will take care ofthe broad jump. In the high jump, Pierce,Coon, Tomlinson, and Walker have all hadone or more years of experience. There arethree veterans in the pole vault, namelyPierce, Green, and Morse. Robertson,Brown, and Winerman will probably bethe choice for the javelin.

Texas Ranger SaysPsyc ozogy Needed

In Use Of RevolverDemonstrates Various Methods

Of Firing With Old .45Six-Shooter

"Texas Jack" Sullivan, former TexasRanger and National Revolver Instructorof the International Association of PoliceChiefs, was a guest last night of the ArmyOrdnance Association at a dinner meetingin the North Hall of Walker Memorial.He spoke on the "Psychology of GunPlay" and supplemented his talk withdemonstrations of the various methods ofrevolver shooting of which he spoke. Theshooting was done at an almost incrediblespeed.

In his speech, Texas Jack stated thatthe Eighteenth Amendment was not thecause of the recent crime wave to any ex-tent. Already this wave has practicallywiped itself out, he said. "Elements ofevil cannot exist for any great time in aclean people," said the speaker, to explainwhy the crime wave has almost wiped it-self out. Evil devours itself.

Five years ago, the speaker stated, therewere over 2900 men in the country whowere on lists as out-and-out killers. In arecent list only 300 men were named. Thereason was that most of the killers hadannihilated each other, without any greateffort on the part of the law.

Eight Men Clean Up Southwest

As a result of gun psychology, thespeaker said, eight men were able to cleanup the Southwest. They made towns goodin a half hour. What they did was to rideinto a town, get the attention of severalhundred notorious, would-be killers, andgive them till 8 o'clock of the followingmorning to leave town. Fear made themleave.

One must use psychology in using a gun.For instance, when a gun is drawn, it is agrave error for the drawer to step forward.In frisking a person, one must make surethat the person being frisked has his backtowards the frisker and thatthe former'shands are high up in the air. Also, infrisking, one must not use the flat of hishand, but the fingertips.

Demonstrated With .45 Six-Shooter

For his demonstrations, the speakerused a .45 six-shooter. The shooting of agun when pto-offered to a frisker is calleda "Broncho Reverse" and is a shot thatcan only be accomplished by extreme co-ordination of the muscles and brain.Other shots demonstrated were the "ham-mer-fanning shot" and the shot from arevolver kept in the belt.
