Written by Robert M. Beck~er, '34,and A4rthu~r B. Ellenwood, the showfeatures Robert E. L~indenmeyr, '35,in the leadin- feminine role, with M~.Scott Dickson, '34, the hero. The lat-ter has been author, coach and starill one of the most successful WestPoint comedies, The Hundredth NightShc:>w.

The cast is under the dil ection ofProfessor William C. Greene of theEnglish Delpartnlent, and the chorushas -for some weeks been practicingunder the guidance of LangdonMatthews, professiollal dance coachof Bcston, and veteran of Tech Showchoruses.

In true Tech Sllow tl alition, thehero is calledl Roger, who byN variousstr ategems and with the aid of hisfair "Gladys," attempts to offer asure-fire formula for remedy~xing pres-ent econoluie ills to the extent ofgetting ever ybodly jobs !

We felt sure that we could get a s~olid blockof at least eighty to a hundred votes, but wedid not consider this sufficient to elect becauseof the Preferential System of voting. We hadto get second votes from the weakest candi-date.

We swapped second votes with the com-muters by approaching them in classes, andshowing them how both nominees benefittedand neither lost anything. I think we got anumber of commuter votes this way.

Then we exchanged votes with some of thefraternities by asking them whether theywere more interested in seeing the "RhoDamtnit Rho" nominee elected president, ortheir own fraternity candidate elected toeither the Institute Committee or the ClassExecutive Committee as the case may havebeen. We told them that we had one hundredand twenty-three potential votes. Whatcould they offer?

"Give us all your backing, including youraffiliates, and we will puot your man on ourslate." I think that in this way about ten ofthe smaller fraternities were involved. Wecounted on them for about forty votes.

We worked feverishly during the day onthe commuters in between classes, and eve-nrings in the dormitories, even getting fra-ternity men living in the dorms to vote ourway.

The night before the election members ofthe ;committee visited every one of the onehundred and twenty-three rooms with a listof men with whom votes had been exchanged.We either checked the complete slate off thelist printed in copies of THEF TECH which wehad, or wrote them down for the men so theywould not forget them. Every man was urgedabove all to vote the complete ticket in fair-ness to the groups with whom we made ar-rangements.

During the next day, the committee did notgo near the polls except to vote themselves.Nor did we make inquiries of the voters lestwe arouse suspicion. That night we foundout that our candidate had been elected.

But the fight was not over. The secretaryof the Institute Committee was overheard tosay that he wished he could find a way to dis-qualify our candidate. He thought at firstthat it could be done through the PointsSystem. However, the Undergraduate Consti-tution., when studied, showed that procedurewas an impossibility. With such hostility, Ihad to be able to speak and vote at the Insti-tute Committee meeting on Thursday.

As I was on the Associate Board of Tech-nique, I secured the proxy of the GeneralManager, and I was promised full support dur-ing the meeting by the Dormitory Committeechairman. I was prepared to show, if our latenomination was declared void, that the wholeelection was held at a time in variance withthat set forth in the Undergraduate Constitu-tion, and that the whole election was thereforeillegal. But the anticipated controversy nevertook place, and our candidate was declaredduly elected.

That night the committee and the new ClassPresident held a victory banquet in a diningroom at a down-town restaurant. It had atruly political atmosphere: speeches, smokes,and stories.

A group of inexperienced Sophomores,pulled this stunt. Doubtlessly other groupsliving off the campus have done better Jobsunder the tutelage of Juniors anld Seniors,-the ones who know the ropes, and are thepowers that be.

For example, a search of the records showsthat a large number of class officers have beenheld by men from a relatively small group offraternities. That these men were qualifiedI have not the slightest doubt. The questionis, "Were these the only men who were quali-fied ?" Probably not, and one therefore drawsthe conclusion that voting blocks were veryMolkel in- securing their' election._

Little is now known ofC the commuter phaseof the subject. However, a Commuter Asso-ciation official inadvertently informed me re-cenltly that that organization had a fairly -wellorganized electioneering program, but I doubtif it has yet been put into effect. I anticipatethe inext election with interest.

The present electioneering law is contraryto good government. I have shown that it isviolated on1 all sides, and the reason is simple.If a man is to be elected except by subterfugehe must be able to go to the voters. Thevoters will never come to the candidate seek-ing to learn his qualifications as must be theprocedure under the present law. The classmeetings, like the one I have mentioned, provethis contention. The meetings have died outfor lack of interest.

Men at Technology have proven themselvesa fairly level-headed group. Disciplinaryproblems, for instance, are practically unheardof. Upon the repeal of the present election-eering law, it is not likely that such men willindulge in the electioneering excesses that thepresent law presumably seeks to prevent butcannot.

Instead, we may look forward to the orderlydissemination of the candidates' qualificationssand records. The now uninformed studentbody will then be alert to the situation, andbetter prepared to vote for the best man.

tunately, was just about to be thrownby the comedy relief.

We watched for a while, but thestrain 'of getting a stitch in the sideevery three minutes (from watchingthe expression on the faces of theauthors) was too much for us. Weaddressed ourselves to the Director.

"Does anything funny happen?""No, it isn't that kind of a show,"

he replied wittily."No, no," we said. "We mean in

rehearsal.""Oh, sure,"-was the ready answer,

"for one thing, Mr. Strew doesn'tknow his lines, and for the second,Mr. Bull doesn't know his lines, be-cause he sleeps and has to be showwhere to start, and for the third, Mr.Applegarth doesn't know his lines (healmost broke down at this point), andbesides he can't move because he'smuscle-bound in * * * * * *"

"Professor Greene," we said prim-ly, "can we quote you on that?"

"You can," he replied in that sten-torian manner, "but you***** hadn't better."

We left for the rarified -regions ofthe gym, where the chorines werehopping about on their own hook,thinking privately that, after all, hecould just hire a hall, and that wasthat.

REGULATION, NOT PROHIBITION

(Continued from Page 1)The problem then is not to prohibit a prac-

tice which is actually not in the slightest un-ethical, since that is impossible, but to regu-late electioneering so as to correct the viciousaspects now apparent.

This paper believes that a proper form ofregulation should be provided, which will con-tain, among other resolutions, a clause for-bidding electioneering at the polls, and pro-viding a method of proper regulation of cam-paigns..

OPEN FORUM

(Continued from Page 1)We quickly drafted the proper form, and

found in the course of an hour or so the neces-sary ten signatures to validate the nomina-tion. We had -no idea who the chairman ofthe Elections Committee was, but found outfrom a T. C. A. handbook and were soon onour' way out to Belmont where he was sup-posed to live. After searching half an hourfor his home we -finally found it. There wewere informed that the man for whom wewere looking, having the same name, lived in aCommonwealth Avenue fraternity house. Westarted our ride to town, hoping to catch him,and luckily enough he was in. We presentedhim with the tardy nomination and -no ques-tions were asked, much to our relief.

In the Tuesday, April 26, issue of THE TECHa list of candidates was printed. The rumorwas tr ue: three fr aternity men, one com-muter, and our dormitory man was named forthe presidency.

We immediately composed a committee ofour candidate's friends, and other stau-nchsupporters of the dormitory cause. We triedto get a man from each dormitory hall on thecommittee in order to have as representativea group as possible.

On Monday, April 25, there was a classmeeting in 10-250, where each candidate had amanager to speak for him, and to state hiscandidate's qualifications. The committeepassed the word around that as many dormi-tory men as possible should be present, andinstructed to applaud vigorously every time Imentioned the word "dormitory."

It was a dull meeting, composed of the can.didates, their speakel s, and the dormitorymen whom I had planted there. A few noblesouls, probably more curious than interested,also attended. I was the third or fourthspeaker. A volley of applause, whistles, andstamping greeted me when I rose to speak.I wondered if they had misunderstood the cue,but after talking a few minutes along the lineof the speakers that had preceded me, I casu-ally mentioned that my contestant was a dor-mitory man, and more applause thunder edthrough the room.

The reactions of the other candidates wereamusing. Most of them seemed to be startled.They gaped, stared, and soon realized that theelection was not going to be the comparativelysimply affair that the freshman and Sopho-more elections of our class had been.

Our next move was to procure a list of dor-mitory Sophomores. We obtained some onehundred and twenty-three names to workwith. The list was split up both according todormitory hall and nationality. A Latin onthe committee took all the Italian and Spanishnames, and a man of Japanese descent tookover all the Oriental votes.

If you're forced to go chorine in the inter-ests of art, let a pipeful of BRIGGS re-store masculine poise. BRtIGGS Pipe Mix-ture has a rare and Rabelaisian gustothat's tempered by long aging 'til it's ge-nial, mellow, biteless. When a feller needsa friend there's no blend like BRIGGS.

11eviate many disadvantages of theresent system.These DISADVANTAGES are: (1 )

Saturday classes are poorly attended.tis is a well-known fact, irksome toSe instructor and harmful to the

student; (2) one or two Saturdaylasses break up and spoil the entireBay for those who a-re planning a Sat-prday program; (3) a great numberIf students do not study Friday night

For their Saturday classes, which re-'ults in a waste of efficiency, time,IEnd effort on the instructor's part;.X4) commuters waste time and money

FINE ARTS

Fine Arts Theatre is now present-ing the Passion of Joan of Arc, theFrench picture held by New Yorkcritics as one of the finest screen pro-ductions ever released. One thor-oughly enjoys this film, feeling foronce that the superlatives used by thecritics are justified. The story de-picts the suffering of the French saintfrom the time of her capture by theEnglish forces to her death at thestake. She is tricked by schemingpoliticians, tried and sentenced, suf-fering almost unbearable mental tor-ture. Joan of Are, believing herselfto be sent by God to save France, isexecuted as a witch, a creature ofSatan.

Besides this feature, the Germanpicture Die Privatsekretar-in (privatesecretary) was presented. This filmportrays the story of a German girl,Renate Mueller, who comes to Berlin

Faculty dining room, Prof. Fuller waspresented with an initialled silvercigarette case. Dancing was held inthe 5.15 lounge after the dinner.

About thirty members were presentat the gathering, including most ofthe cast of The First Mrs. Fraser,which was presented in the Elisa-beth Peabody House two weeks ago.The Drama Club is composed of mem-bers of the Faculty Club, TechnologyDames, and the Technology Matrons.

Gable is most winning in the role ofGod's gift to the female species, andClaudette Colbert is quite vice versa.

To derive the fullest enjoymentfrom this picture, one must view itas an evening's entertainment andnothing more. Just the sort of thingto take one's mind off differentialequations and turn a young man'sfancy lightly to thoughts of love.
