A recommendation for the establish-ment of an Endowment Fund for theClass of 1925, sponsered by the classofficers will be submitted for the ap-proval of the members of the SeniorClass, in a class referendum next Mon-day. The polls will be held in the mainlobby and will be open from 9 to 5, asusual. Only Seniors may vote.

According to President G. L. Bate-man of the Senior Class, "The SeniorClass officers feelsthat in asking for avote by the class on the endowmentplan, that they are. giving the class op-portunity of publicity expressing their,illingness to continue the good workof the two previous classes. They feellthat the plan chosen is absolutely thebest that could be obtained to bringabout the desired result, and they aret sking that the Seniors show their will-ingness to co-operate by coming outa nd voting in the affirmative.

The recommendation, made by a spe-cial committee formed for investigatingthe matter, to the Executive Commit-tee of the class, stands as follows:"That tie Endowment Fund of theClass of 1925 be established by the pur-ch}ase of $250 twenty-five year endow-ment policies from the Aetna Life In-surance Company of Hartford, Coneec-ticut, by the individual members of theclass."

Conmmittee Selected Last FallA committee was selected lastlfall by

G. L. Bateman '25, President of theSenior Class, composed of R. A. Mit-chell, G. C. Caine, and D. R. Camp-bell, with the purpose of recommenld-ing to the Execuftive Committee a planthat would insure the best EndowmentEund in point of amount and conveni-

nce of collection. The committee, af-er investigating the proposals of twelvensurance companies, decided to recom-

end the plan submitted by the Aetnaife Insurance Company.By this plan members of the classould pay $10 the first year and, fore following 24 years, annual premi-

ums averaging about $8.88, dependingn the age of the applicant, the young-

er the latter the less the premium. Therveage age of the class is about 22rs, and $8.88 is the premium for this

Frequent informal reports are to begiven to the Institute Committee bycertain of the activities as a result ofa motion passed at the meeting of theCommittee last night. The purpose isto give the Committee an opportunityof helping the activities to learn stu-dent opinion on actions they propose.

The activities affected are the M. I.T. A. A., Tech Show, the Dorms, theCombined Professional Societies, andthe Musical Clubs. In addition, classofficers are to turn in reports on allprojected social functions of theirclasses.

Would Aviod DiffiultyIn discussing the need for the motion,

G. L. Bateman '25 mentioned the op-position formed by the students to theaction of Tech Show in the matter ofcoaching this year. "If the matter hadfirst been referred to the InstituteCommittee," he said, "I am sure thatmost of the difficulty would have beenavoided."

It was decided at yesterday's meet-ing that the Committee should take nofurther action in the matter oi the Na-tional Student Federation. It is alsoto investigate the use of the name ofthe Institute by a Lowell Jazz band.

Uphold Affirmativer on Proposal

Tliat Capital PunishmentBe Abolished

Dartmouth will meet Technology'sdebating team tonight at 8 o'clock inHuntington Hall, Rogers, affording thethird meet of the season. The Insti-tute men will uphold the affirmativeon the proposition, "Resolved that cap-ital punishment be abolished."

Technology will be represented byW. L. Sullivan '27, J. C. Evans '25, andWilliam Livingston '26. The membersof the Dartmouth team will be an-nounced at the debate. Richard Hale,a prominent Boston lawyer, will act aschairman of the debate. Judges havebeen announced as, W. P. Blood, law-yer; C. D. Smith, Dean of the Schoolof Business Administration of North-eastern University; and Professor Hal-ford Hoskins, of the Department ofEnglish of Tufts College.

IWill Use Intercollegiate TopicThe subject on which the team is

debating is one of much interest in de-bating circles at the present time. TheIntercollegiate Debating League hasadopted this proposition during the pastmonth as one for general use by thecolleges in the spring forensics. Tech-nology's teamn will meet Union Collegeon May 1, upholding the affirmative,as in the present case, on the same sub-ject. This debate, like the former willbe held at the Institute in Room 5-330.

In the last debate, Technology wasdefeated in spite of its strong defenseby the team from Oregon State Agri-cultural College. The subject was onthe proposition. that Congress be em-powered to override decisions of theSupreme Court which declared Con-gressional action unconstitutional.

CITwY COUNCIL ACTDS OINTHE BURSAR'S REQUEST

Bill Passed to Second Reading,Would Bar Cars From Zonle

The Cambridge City Council lastMonday passed on to-a second readingan amendment to the traffic ordinanceprohibiting vehicles from passingthrough the safety zone areas on theMaLssachusetts Avenue side of the Tech-nology buildings. Action came as aresult of a complaint made by BursarH. S. Ford to the Council that motor-ists were endangering the lives of In-stitute students by driving within theposts.

Investigation has shown that, accord-ing to the present ordinance, vehicleshave a legal right to pass through thezone provided they keep to the rightof the center of the roadway. Anamendment to the ordinance is neces-sary before the city can force motor-ists to keep out of the zones.

In order to bring out clearly, the factthat the activities at the Institute arenot well supported, census has beentaken which shows directly in everycase that candidates are scarce and thatthe classes of 1927 and 1928 have notgiven the support to the activities that the classes have in the previous years.

The T. E. N. has work for morecandidates from both classes. Now that the elections are over, there are onlyithree candidates left, all from, the-pres-Ient freshmen class. On the T. E. N.staff there are usually ten men; thusIthere are only three men to workc ona competition basis for these ten posi- tions. In an interview the general man-Iager stated that because there were aIrelatively small number of men already on the staff, competition was by nomeans keen, thus causing the work toIbe- done in a rather inefficient and care- free manner.

The report of the Combined MusicalClubs appeared to be slightly brighter,-for they had already long ago settledthe question of candidates for the mu-sical end of their activity. However ill the b~usiness departments they havreonly seven freshmen and six Sopho-moores. With just these few men out, the business manager stated that theb~est coonpetition he has in his depart-ments is two candidates for one staffposition; this is not nearly so muchrivalry as he had hoped to have in hisdivisions.

Vou Doo, because of the character ofits work needs a great many men; italso, was found lacking candidates inboth the literary and business depart-mients. Their report shows that thereare only ten freshmen and six Sopho-niores, out for their staff. The Voo, Doost aff usually consists of twelve men.thus there is not even a man and a,half trying for each staff positionsThe complaint from the Voo Voo was

To the Editor:I should like to take this means of

expressing the appreciation of the OpeiiHouse Committee of the splendid way inwhich the Institute officials, the studentsand the various undergraduate organiza-tions co-operated in the effort to makeOpen House Night a success.

The Institute officials and instructingstaff by giving generously of their timeand energy not only made this extent pos-sible but made it interesting as well asinstructive to the visitors. The publica-tions, the Techtonians and the other or-

ganizations showed some of the lighterside of the Insitute life while inerestedmembers of the student body gave theirservices As guides or as workers in lab-oratories. To all of these we wish toextend our sincerest thanks.

One-eye Connely would have turnedgreen with envy Tuesday night if hehad happened to turn up at the prom.There was a regular gate crashers con-vention. One of the windows being openthere was a steady flow through it. Truethe flow mostly continued right acrossthe hall and out of the door, being ac-companied from the window to the doorby the strong arms, but the Loungersuspects that all who went in did notcome out. One man the Lounger knows,crashed in three times and gave his re-turn check to friends. How he did itis a secret to be saved for future useat the Copley.

Shades of the Cosmopolitan Club, lis-ten to this Materials lecture. Accord-ing to the propounding of the prof oneof our most important trees is thePseudo Tsunga Douglas which in thelanguage of the proletariat is the Doug-las fir. The scientific name is composedof a Greek stem on a Japanese rootto which is added a Latinized form of aScotch name. Furthermore the tree hasbeen transplanted from the United Statesto various countries of Europe. How'sthat for traveling around?

"'INDIAN LOVE CAEL'FEATURES ROSEMARIE

Indian love songs and dances, murder,Desiree Ellinger, combined with themirth-provoking Hard-Boiled Herman(sometimes called Hoimon), effect an en-tirely favorable result in "Rose Marie"at the Shubert. Jim Kenyon (Jeem)we like for the leading gentleman-hecan sing (rithout contortions) and isnot miscaste as is sometimes evident inmusical comedy heroes. But "RoseMarie" is known as a "musical play"and there is something to follow in theplot. Starting in a hotel saloon in Sas-katchewan, where everyone is introducedwith rather pleasant color schemes, thescene then goes to the murder in thecabin of Black Eagle, which is broad-casted (the radio and cross-word arenot superfluously mentioned) when every-one meets in Scene 3 at Totem PoleLodge in the Canadian Rockies. In-cidentally, Wanda, the Indian girl, isworth watching.

Perhaps the kissing was overdone inthe second act (for Boston) but as itwasn't Rose Marie and as the story wasstill unfinished the second and last actwas quite satisfying and thrilling. Itended in Quebec without the usual grandfinale.

The "Indian Love Call" is the songwhich helps the story and is the songone sings on the way out through thelobby, half-way home, forgets the nextday, but remembers next week. "RoseMarie," as a song, is also not to beforgotten in the after-humming.

Splendid acting, lingering music, pleas-ing colors (if not -unusual costumes),humor and good dancing, not to mentionan interesting plot, are some of thethings which combine to make RoseMarie one of the worth-while musicalplays of the season. J.H.

IT should hardly be necessary to emphasize to members of the

Senior Class the importance for unanimity of action in sup-porting the plan of the Executive Committee for endowment in-surance. Neither is it necessary to quibble over the "duty" forvoting,-that is incidental to the Drimarv Droblem of obtainingsentiment that will assure the success of the fund, not only nowduring its inception, but later with the less pleasant problem ofpaying the premiums presents itself.

It is customary in a majority of colleges to obtain funds fromthe alumni body through the numerous channels that have beendeveloped. The increasing cost of running an educational institu-tion has created this problem of high tuition or the alternative,alumni support; and the method of applying the alternative hasnow reached the systematic stage of a definite payment plan con-ducted by an insurance firm. That tuition charges approximateonly 50 percent of actual costs here at the Institute and the prin-ciple of continued support which the American collegiate systemhas been built upon are facts, well known and precluding of argu-ment, which make essential the financial support of graduates. Butit should be further emphasized that the rightness or wrongnessof the plan is not the problem, for experience and necessity havelong since answered this question in favor of the affirmative.

To support this plan wholeheartedly the Seniors would be butcarrying on. They would be redeeming an obligation, fulfillinga duty, accepting a plan that is the most efficient method of ful-filling this duty. There is no doubt that the plan will be accepted,but it is hoped that some interest and vigorous support will beevinced in its acceptance.

very similar to that of the T. E. N.,that is, there are not sufficient men onthe staff and out for the staff to showany form of real rivalry.

Technique reported that it has tenfreshmen candidates for its staff posi-tions but no Sophomores candidates atall. In an interview the business man-ager stated that in most of the Tech-nique departments competition wasrather lively and the best that couldbe expected from the two classes con-sidering the reports of the other ac-tivities.

Although THE TECH has been con-ducting an extensive drive among thetwo classes for more candidates atpresent there are only four Sopho-more and four freshmen out for thepositions that at present are beingheld by twelve men. Probably becauseof the character and amount of workon THE TECH more men are neededthan in an average Institute activity.There is practically no emulation what-soever in many of the departmentsfor in some cases there is only oneman out for a single staff position.

Both the T. E. N. and THE TECHfind that they have a few Juniors hold-ing Sophomore positions, because thereare not enough Sophomores to takecare of these positions. In all casesit was found that the present Sopho-more class did not come out for theactivities as well as the previous class-es, and that the bulk of the undergrad-uate activity work was being done bythe Junior and Senior classes. Thereports of all the activities show thatthe conditions this term are slightlybetter than the low mark set by thelower classes earlier in the year. Evi-dence shows clearly that the presentSophomore class is not keeping up tothe standard set by the previous classesand also that the present freshmen classhas not done much better.

r The Terrier team has already playedone match this season against a medi-

r ocre Tufts team, which they lost 4 to 2.t Linquist of the B. U. team- was the

only man to win a singles match, and1 teamed with Specht won a doubles

1match, the only two victories the' Ter-r riers were able to obtain fronm theE Tufts netmen. With this showing aI victory can be safely predicted for the

Cardinal and Gray team when they; meet the B. U. team on the twenty-

ninth.

Captain Joe Russell should have lit-1.tle trouble taking the best of the Ter-riers into camp, as he is playing very

:pretty tennis at the present timfe. As;yet he is uncertain who will start iin.second position, but in all probability.it will be Ernie Hinck, star of last;year's frosh team. It will probably benecessary to have an elimination matchbetween the other members of the team,but the way things now shape up Hinckshould have little trouble in placing

.second man. He should also be able totake the measure of any man that the

,Terrier team 'trots out.The other two men on the Tech

team are also' certain, as Broadhurstand Peck have both had Varsity ex-

,perience and can hold their own MinLfast company. Broadhurst has been.playing regularly with Captain Rus-.sell, and has been showing a stronggame and a varied assortment ofstrokes. Peck with his steady game, isa hard man to beat, and with a winter

,of practice on the Longwood Courtsis better than ever this year.LThe doubles will probably consist of

ICaptain Russell and Broadhurst as the,first team, and Hinck and Peck thesecond doubles. This is the best ar-rangeqment as Russell and Broadhurst

,are both graduating this year, whilePeck and 'Hinck have still a year toplay together.

As soon as the crews arrived at thehome of the- Naval Academy they re-ceived a great ovation from the Midship-men and with the usual Naval hospital-ity the men were given the best of shellsand equipment for preparation for thebig, regatta. When the Beaver oarsmenfiled into the Mess Hall for their firstdinner, the Middies gave them one ofthe most rousing cheers that has everwelcomed a group of athletes anywhere.

Eights In Strict TrainingMonday afternoon Bill lost 'no time

in getting his crews started on the grindwhen he took the eights for a six milerow down the Severn River. The char-acteristic roughness of the Naval racecourse made the men realize what theyare up against as they bucked the mina-ture white caps scudding across the water.The men went on strict training as soonas they stepped on the train Monday and

Norwich staged a first inning battingspree that sent the Beavers down 4 to3 in a close game on Tech field Wed-nesday. All Norwich's runs came inthe first inning, when a bunt, a cleanhit, and a home run with two men onbases gave the opposing team a leadthat the Beavers were never able toovercome. The Tech team pushedacross one run in the first and two inthe second, but the opposing twirlerheld them scoreless from then on.With the bases loadedrand no one outin the fifth inning, Laker went intothe game and did the iron man trickretiring the Beavers without a score.

Canfield pitched a fine game for theBeavers and deserved better luck.After the first inning he allowed theopposing batters only three scatteredhits and struck out six men. Garrity'shonie run was the deciding factor, andoccurred at a time when it would dothe most good. It was a long drive tocenter field, one, of the farthest hitsever seen on the Tech diamond.

Laker was fairly effective for Nor-wich. His pitching was nothing unusu-al, but he seemed to have the abilityto pull out of some pretty tight holes,and that saved the game for his team.

Little Gus Cotter performed at thebat in. his usual effective manner, get-ting a two base hit and coming in forone run.

If the Tech-Norwich game yesterdayafternoon could have been started inthe second inning, the Beavers' recordfor the season would still have been'unsmirched. Some heavy hitting byNorwich in the first inning netted fourruns and after that, with aCnfield set-tling down, the Beavers fought an up-hill battle which fell just one run shortof a tie.

from the reports received last night, thewell being of the crews is a great dealthe result of this action.

Before retiring at night the men haveoven taking long walks, another phasein their training that has put them allill fine fettle. This with two workoutson the river, one in the morning and theother in the afternoon concludes the pro-gram that Bill has lined up for theBeaver standard bearers. The Navy hastightened up in their practice schedulealso, and the Midshipmen crews look intop form for their first race tomorrow.

The Naval eights are seated with pow-erful men this season, all of them tow-ering 6 feet or more in height, magni-ficent eights if there ever were such.They are decidedly heavier than the Techcrews and in as much as a heavier crewis more at home in rough water, theBeaver oarsmen are up against a toughproposition if the Severn takes on achoppy character tomorrow.

An optimism long absent has return-ed to hover over the rowing prospectsof Cornell this season.

Throughout the spring recess, whilemost of the students were enjoying theholidays at home, the universitys boat-men stirred the waters of Cayuga de-termined to restore a prestige thatCornell has tasted and enjoyed. Themen were driven -hard. They werecompelled to develop their legs whenCoach C A.

Chink Drew and Sol Brodsky ToEnter Lists In Weight

Tournaents

Seven representatives of the Beavervarsity track team entrained yesterdayfor Philadelphia where they will contendwith the country's best collegiate trackand field athletes in two relay races,while Captain Chink Drew will defendhis intercollegiate hammer throwingchampionship. Judging from the timesturned at the interclass meet the En-gineers appear to. be well advanced intheir training and should therefore makea good showing. , Coach "Oscar" an-nounced yesterday that the men who areto make up the one mile relay, each manrunning a straight quarter, are DougJeppe, Ike Stephenson, Howlett, andGeorge Leness; probably running in theorder named. In the medley relay LouPorter will run the century, Jeppe willrun the furlong, 'Iowlett the 440 andGeorge Leness will run the half mile.

Chink Drew who tossed the hammer148 feet in the games Monday, till take-part in this event at the Penn meet.If effort and genuine performance meananything he should again return with thecrown this year as he did last season,when the winning distance was only 147feet. Sol Brodshy will perform forTechnology in the shot put and discusthrow. As the management could not af-ford to pay his expenses he showed realInstitute spirit by volunteering to takecare of this item himself, hoping to beremunerated by the valuable experiencehe is sure to gain.

The coaches had planned to hold timetrials tomorrow to determine the entriesfor the varsity meet with Princeton andthe frosh encounter with Tuft's year-lings; both of which were to take placenext week. The track management wasnotified late yesterday afternoon byTufts that the frosh meet had to be can-celled. So far no plans have been madeby the freshman manager as to fillingthis open date, but a meet will probablybe arranged with Northeastern or B.U.

Because of the change of plans therewill be an open handicap meet tomorrowafternoon. The scheduled events are: 70yard dash, 300 yard dash, 660 yard run,and the three-quarters and one and ahalf mile runs. All the regular fieldevents will take place. This meet is im-portant in that the entries for the Prince-ton meet and the rest of the encounterson the schedule will be largely composedof those runners and field event men whomake a good showing tomorrow.

An exhibit of rare books and pam-phte~ts on magnetism can now be in-spected in the display-case at the farend of the Central Library. It is madeup entirely of volumes chosen fromthe some 3500, that constitute the VailCrollection. Mrs. Lane, Vail librarian,has so arranged and selected the groupthat it will be of great value to boththose interested in the early historyof science and in old books and prints'

Beginning with a volume written byPetrus Peregrinus in the' 13th century,and printed in 1558, the collection car-ries one through the famous "De Mcag-mete'" of William Gilbert, printed inthe year 1600, and thence through twocenturies of evolution in the study ofmagnetism. Arranged as they are, it isnot difficult to trace in the pages theadvancement in the discoveries whichfinally led to the mariner's compass. Atypewritten card is placed on eachbook telling in full the outstanding factsabout the author and his works. Alarg~e part of the collection is written inLatin, but there is enough in old Eng-lish print to show fully just how muchwas already understood about magne-tism during the Renaissance. The the-ories put forward by the savants ofthree centuries ago, to the modern stu-dent, seem childish but nevertheless areamusing in the extreme. One authorgives as an excuse for-the existence of

his book, that it is "amusing to theminde."

Vail Collection Exhibits have beenquite numerous during the past year.The librarian has really an "embarasde richesse" in the great number ofbooks at her disposal. Technology hasin this collection the third largest tech-nical library in the world, the first be-ing in England. Notwithstanding beingsurpassed by two other collections,there are many books in the possessionof Technology whaich'are not to befound in either of the other leading lib-raries.

Originally, the texts were in the pos-session of a rather obscure Englishscientist, who had the good fortune tobe financially able to ask his book deal-er to -place in his hands every printedword on electricity that he could ob-tain. The result was that cases uponcases of electrical knowledge were atthe disposal of the Englishman. How-ever, after having succeeded to someextent in his patents pertaining to ear-ly telegraphy, his health broke downand his library went back on the mar-ket. In 1912 the collection was boughtby Mr. I. N. Vail and presented to,Technology. At that time it could notbe placed in the insufficient buildingsat Rogers, but in 1916 when the In-stitute moved into its new home, aplace was allotted to it.

Studecnts Association A~ffirmsr that:

Smoking Is Not Ethical

After considering the recent referen-dum on smoking, the Legislative As-sembly and Council of the StudentsAssociation of Vassar almost unanim-ously passed the following resolution asto smoking at the college:

"The Students Association, recogniz-ing that smoking among women is notestablished as a social convention ac-ceptable to all groups throughout thecountry, hereby affirms that smokingis not approvej at Vassar and requeststhe best interests of the college, to usetheir own common sense of personalobligation in complying with publicopinion as herein expressed."

"Because of the danger of fire, smok-ing in the college building is forbiddento faculty, students, employees, andguests by order of the administration."

Reasons for adopting this resolutionare given by the Students' Association.

"Vassar is primarily an institution forthe advancement of higher learning. Itis not an institution for the advance-ment of new social standards. In viewof its educational purpose, it wishes todraw from as many groups, throughoutthe country as possible, and is unwill-ing to take any steps which might lim-it its membership. It can thereforeadopt only those social conventionswhich are everywhere acceptable. Let-t�rs from all parts of the country haveshown that smoking among women isnot yet sufficiently approved to be ac-cepted by Vassar without seriouslymenacing the best interests of the col-lege." -New Student.

The third Biennial IntercollegiateConference, which is to be held at Cor-nell May 1 and 2, has been called notfor the express purpose of promotingextra-curricula activities nbr with theintention of formulating codes of ac-tion uniformly applicable to all the col-leges and universities represented, butfor the purpose of endeavoring to placethese activities on a basis which willinsure the most beneficial results tothose participating and strike a sanebalance between them and curricularwork.

The first conference of this type washeld under the direction of the studentleaders at Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology in 1921. Some one hund-red delegates, representing forty-twoinstitutions, were present on this oc-casion. The second was held at Pennin the spring of 1923, virtually the samenumber of delegates taking part.
