Christmas cheer is evident inmany forms about the Institute andthe spirit of a small but worthygift was illustrated in a Sophomorephysics lecture Monday. After thedemonstration of an experimentsomeone threw a penny to thelecturer. On hearing the clink ofthe copper the speaker looked upand said, "Thank you". The badhabit of throwing pennies is usu-ally prevalent at entertainments,but the Christmas atmosphere hasurged a penny-philanthropist evento bestow a token on a professor.

Prof. Schell Gives StatisticsShowing Them in Favor

Of Economics

In his talk to the members of theClass of 1933 on Monday, ProfessorErwin H. Schell emphasized the trendfor engineering graduates to leavetechnical fields and to enter adminis-trative and executive positions. Thetalk was illustrated with lanternslides of statistics prepared by theSociety for Promotion of EngineeringEducation.

Professor Schell was introduced byPresident Stattoln, who announced

that the next two addresses of theseries being given the freshmen villbe by Arthur D. Little 'S5 and Prof.Charles R. Gow. Tlese talks are forthe purpose of aiding the first yearmen to choose their courses.

One imp-ess.ve fact revealed bythe statistics showed by ProfessorSchell bas that about half of the en-gineering graduates covered by thesurvey thought that there were notenough economic subjects taught inthe technical schools. This opinionfas evident mainly among the oldermen.

Soccer for the 1930 season wasplanned at the first banquet of thesport which was held to encourageinterest and continue the improvementof Technology's squad. Both themembers of this year's Varsity andfreshman teams were present at thedinner last night and suggestions ofall kinds were made for the team'sbetterment.

Samuel G. Ryan '31 was elected cap-tain of the soccer team for next year,having played right halfback duringthe last season. Tle manager will beByron E. James '32, who has assistedRobert W. Backus '30 this fall.

Coach Welch was the first speakerand he discussed the need of schoolsupport, an arrangement of classesso as not to interfere with practices,and the desire to have all the fresh-men come out for the sport with apossibility of hayving a Junior Var-sity team. He read a letter fromAlan W. Rowe '01 which stated thatthere would be an attempt to lay thefield parallel to the tennis courts, soas not to be bothered by the freshmanR. O. T. C.

On his election, Captain Ryan statedthat keeping in training was left tothe individual and should be kept asfaithfully as attendance at practice.He encouraged all the men to attendthe spring practice when games willbe played with outside teams.

The schedule for next year will in-clude Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, andpossibly Navy or Pennsylvania away'from home with five other games to beplayed here. The numerals were pre-sented to the freshman team, but theVarsity awards were not secured forpresentation.

The manager, who presided at themeeting, called on the members of theteam to make suggestions which couldbe put into effect and each contri-buted his share. Tle Seniors on theteam were presented with a Soccercharm and the meeting closed with thesinging of the Stein song.

RECOGNITION GIVENTO 1933 RIFLE TEAM

A. A. also In1creases Member-

ship Of Executive Committee

Official recognition was given to thefreshman rifle team at a meeting ofthe M. I. T. A. A. held yesterday af-ternoon. Freshman rifle teams havebeen competing for several years aspart of the freshman R. O. T. C. workbut they have not been previouslyrecognized by the M. I. T. A. A. as anofficial Institute sport.

At the same meeting, an amend-ment to the constitution of the M. I.T. A. A. wvas passed whereby the chair-man of the Budget Committee wvill begiven a seat in the Executive Com-mittee. This will illerease the mnem-bership of tile latter body from sixto seven.

Tle Crimson teamshowed plenty of ability, but they feltthe loss of their veteran guard Far-rel, who is ineligible for this year'squintet.

KEEP UP STEAMWVITH Christmas vacation only a few days ahead the normal

reaction is to taper off the investment of erudite energyand allow the subjects all to join the avalanche of "What I'lldo during the holidays". The man who can actually sell him-self on the idea that he is going to do many problems and num-erous themes and reports during any vacation should not be ata technical schooi. . He is a super-salesman and should devoteall his time to his art.

This Christmas will probably pass much the same as that oflast year or the year before. A kaleidoscopic view of the aver-age vacation might be-Friday afternoon: the last class, thebulging bags, the Wolverine, the train shave and shades of thebutcher, the Home Town, the family, the summer friends whosenames have slipped, the rounds of bridge, the hurried buying,the cravat exchange, the meal, the sports, the cousin's electrictrain, the dances, the theaters, the discovery at last that thebooks were left in Boston, the muffled cheer because of it, theNew Year, the last sleep-until-noon, the punctual train, theBack Bay station, the thought "What a loafer!"

The last week before the "rest" is important not in spite ofthe vacation but because of it. The problems and reports pre-pared this week can be looked upon as returns of labor well di-rected, while those consigned to the vacation list are wildcatpropositions even from the most optimistic viewpoint.

It is a difficult job and a mean one to contemplate. The onebright aspect of the aff air is this: he who keeps at his workuntil the end has at least a few days before him without ashadow of a book to dull his activities.

After practicing architec-ture for a whlile in the West he cameto Newv York City whlere there werebetter opportunities for designers.The first years at this news locationwere a struggle. A man who wasformerly in his employ reported thathe once had to sell two opera ticketsin order to buy food for himself andhis staff.

LOEW'S STATE

A viery odd picture indeed is thecurrent film at the State. It is aTechnicolor sound presentation ofJules Verne's novel, "MysteriousIsland", and though somewhat ration-alized by the advances in science sinceVerne's day, it may easily be termedthe most imaginative picture that hasbteen in Bostonl in some years.

It is essentially one of the okl-typelI elodranilas, with an avaricious vil-lain, stalwart heroes, and a beauti-ful heroine. As such, it easily holdsthe reader's interest. Thle story cen-ters around the imagined invention ofthe submarine on all island strong-hold just off the coast of a mythicalIkingdom.IAmong the unusual theories in-

volvred in the plot is that whlich sayrsthat there is a race of men, who, in-stead of coming on to land in theirevolution from the fishes, went to thebottom of the sea, and have develope-~din a manner similar to ours with thedepthis as their home. Photography ofsuch a people and their home is weirdto say- the least.

The acting must be commended, butits merit call easily be understood withdie names of Lionel Barrymore andLloydl Hllgles in the cast. The former,-iS a scientific wizard is by far the out-:tandimg actor.

Gnle tllin-, might well be noted, andWlhat is that the play Lvas certainly notlir ected by a mall who had had any--irntifice trabihmll. Such things as,ailing a group of valves an air com-,)ressor, and testing steel by tapping't with a hammer are bound to benoticed. However, if you can lastthrough the stage sllowN, it is a goodwager that you wvill enjoy the movie.If nothing else, you will be kept won-dering what queer stunt is going tobe pulled next.

Realizing that copies of final exam-ination exist in most all sorority andfraternity houses, the English depart-ment of the University of Minnesotahas had copies of final examinationsof the last five years placed in thelibrary. Dean J. M. Thomas of theEnglish Department said that "as longas a few could use this method ofstudy it is only f air that all shouldb~ave this opportunity."

The strict enforcement of an honorsystem, greater courtesy to prof essorsand deans, the safekeeping and returnof library books and the establishmentof an annual day to be spent in"solemn meditation uponl the ancientand honorable ethics of the legal pro-fession" are among the traditions re-cently adopted by the college of lawof the University of Arizona.

Oregon State recently bought be-tween fifteen and twenty tons of Ital-ian prunes to use in experimental workto determine new standards for dry--ing__..Then,. we _suppose, they'll feedthem to' the 'students.

TRIFLES'WITH the spirit of the day calling so insistently for the carry-|

ing out of all enterprises in an extensive and munificentmanner, it is often forgotten that little things done in a small|way count for a great deal. Wie can see evidence of this in ourIimmediate surroundings, for while our comfort and well-beingis generously provided for at Technology, the trifles that tendto build up school spirit are singularly lacking.

Not very long ago there was considerable complaint fromthe student body because the Great Court presented such abarren appearance. The Corporation looked into the matter,and promptly planned to go to the enormous expense of sod-ding the whole Court and planting many trees. New buildingsare constantly being planned, and hardly a year passes butthere is another addition to our already enormous educationalplant.

Yet we find the enthusiastic attitude of the student body asa whole towards student enterprise suffering stagnation. Tech-nology men are coming less and less to know each other out-side of the classroom, and the educational system assumes theair of mere manufactory turnout of men equipped impersonallyto take over the reins of industry. The humanness of the meninvolved loses itself in the over-sensible and rational mechan-ismn.

It is the student body which can remedy this state of affairs.The r ational quality of the engineer's mind should not preventhim from undertaking minc'r attempts to better his conditions.Look not for the great and sweeping changes that startle hu-manity and buring fame. Rather look to yourself and see thatyou are doing your part, even though it be a very small one.One example of what the students can do is offered in the pres-ent campaign to "Uise Walker". With the realization that theultimate end of his co-operation will bring about a more in-timate and adequate meeting-place for all Technology students,each undergraduate should constantly keep in mind what hecall do.

The Simplex Wire &: Cable Company has always been amongthe leaders in the development of the wire and cable industry.It has done much progressive pioneer work and was the firstto bring out the high-grade, flexible rubber-sheathed cablewhich has largely replaced the many types of braided orwoven covered cords and cables.

Many years ago it recognized the importance of researchwork in the manufacture of its products. Thoroughly equip-ped electrical and chemical research laboratories are con-stantly obtaining new information which is used as the basisfor improvement in Simplex wires and cables.

Simplex products are made in a factory equipped with mod-ern niachiinety, operated by skilled workmen and supervisedby engineiers who know how to produce cables that aresecond td ndiie. Ample testing facilities keep a check onmaterials and workmanship to insure highest Possible suc-cess during construction as well as upon completion of thecables.

An efficient engineering staff is always available for con-sultation regarding wire and cable problems.
