A SHORT LIFEVETERANS OF FOREIGN WVARS

IKE a short-lived popular song hit, the epi-L demic. of the organization of the Veteransof Future Wars has come into our view andthen passed on into obscurity. While the activ7-ities of the college veterans were in the fore-front of attention and whidle the school andmetropolitan newspapers were playing up sheidea to the utmost, there were varying naturesand degrees -of reaction to the movement fromextreme indignation on the one hand throughuncertainty to utmost hilarity on the other.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars and theAmerican Le-ion puffed and pouted with re-sentment, the benefactors of the recent bonusrulings cringed a bit under the ridicule, thepress snatched up the news and gave it theusual play-up to the limit, the student instiga-tors and supporters floated for a spell on theclould of self satisfaction, and the general pub-lic smiled to themselves.

But of a sudden the Veterans ran out of ma-terial to keep up the barrage of ridicule, theybegan to be overlooked by t-he newspapers asenthusiasm waned, and for the past couple ofweeks little has been heard of the matter. Thepost at Techlnology lived the same short life.

Among tile college lpapers, reactions to theVr. F'. AN;\. v-aried also from wvholehlearted sup-port of ',,le movement to scathi-ng criticism onthe o-rounds that the newt movement is dis-respectfull to our war veterans.

Tllose w11o supported the V. F. W. in a spiritof ridicule and lampoon of the b~oon-do-glling,of ourI congress, were in the mrajority, how-ever. Althlou-hl in the final canalysis we shouldresplect those who fouoght and sacrificed on thebattle finks,, whether or not we are in sym-pathly w-ithl the cause for which they fought,most of us seem to be aoreed on the idea thatthe moves of the V. F. W. can well serve assatire of the representatives of the people whotoo often squander the American's money tothe satisfaction of minority demands.

Thle treatment of the veterans' bonus wasme}rely the subject wh1ich pr esented the oppor-tnility fol' tile form of criticism which it isgetting- by the college youth through the V. F.W. If the ridiculle handed out here has pinchedthe rloglt Persons even a little, the efforts ofthe ori-inators and subsequent supportershasve Ilot been wasted. No one should pass baythe activities of tile V. A. XI". wvith the impres-sion that it is Just another youthful prank ac-comp~anied w itll thoughtlessness -and 'dis-respect, but all should see that it is an indica-tion of the reaction of the college Generationto opoel nnmen-tal policies in -eneral at the pres-e: -t time.

As far as carrying on the organization isconcer fed, nothing mor e ofc consequence islikely to coupl-e of it because the Veterans hRaveM'un out of ammunition and have lost tempo-

r'alrilv-. and tile efol e permanently, the atten-tionI of the public. But that matters but littlelecause Nvhlotever the movement could accom-plislh ill the line of cliticism of existing condi-tiors lias allrea.dy been realized and the con-

1 n opening its columns to letters addressedto theEditor, THE TECH does not guarantee,publicatien, nor does it necessarily endorsethe opinions expressed. Only signed com-munications will be considered. However, ifthe writer so desires, only the initials willappear on publication.

To the Editor of The Tech,

Dear Sir:

I feel that the story of the local broadcasting sys-tem, appearing in the Open House issue of The Techgave the false impression that I was personally re-sponsible in a large measure for the design and con-struction of the system which was intended to bringto guests of Open House news of various events duringthe day.

Insofar as credit was given to me in that report, thestory was false, for my part in it was very small. Iregret particularly that the story failed to give creditto Mr. Glenn -Morris, Mr. Eon Nyhen and their friendsat Harvard, who not only provided equipment for theradio link with the launch on the Charles, but gavethe entire day to operate it. They encountered diffi-culties which would have exhausted the patience ofalmost anyone, and stood up under a tremendousstrain against nearly insuperable odds.

The group of fellows who worked to make theventure a success gave time and effort with no ideaof getting recognition or publicity; the reward forthe work, if any, was merely the satisfaction of doingthe best we could. I want to extend my apologies tothose whose co-operation was not acknowledged in thelast issue of The Tech. Among my friends at Harvardwho was not mentioned was Joseph Gratz. The listof those at the Institute who helped includes Bill Fin-gerle, Dick Vincens, Tony Hittl, Francis Peterson,Fletch Thornton, Rufus Applegarth, Joe Kren, JosephMcLean, Art York, Dick Hickman, Henry Rahmel, Edrentley, Carl Me'ville, George Morrell and Walt Blake.I want also to mention the superintendent of buildings,the electrical supply department, the instrument roomsthe photoservice, and the signal corps as having con-tributed help essential to the success of the venture.To McKenna Radio of Harvard Square, which loanedus a radio for tests, we owe a note of thanks. Thislist does not include all those ewho offered suggestionsand encouragement. May I be forgiven if it is in-complete.

MEMORIAL -The first Boston

showing of Things To Come will take

place here Thursday night at a pre-view showing. Raymond Massey,

Ralph Richardson, Sir Cedric Hard-

wicke, Pearl Argyle, Margaretta Scottand Patricia Hilliard head a cast of

20,000 in this mammoth production,

which marks Mr. Wells' first original

script for the screen, and gives a

thrilling picture of life in the 21stCentury when, according to Mr. Wells,our great-great-grandlehil dren willlivle in marvelous subterranean cities,flooded with artificial sunlight andconditioned air.

Things To Come is treated as threeseparate stories in which the present,the near future-and the distant futureplay the roles of three individual pro-tagonists. Beginning in 1- 940, thistime-trilogy shows the world at thebrink of a war which destroys civiliza-tion leaving in its wake a handful ofprimitive survivors, ready for anotherwar. In the beginning of the twenty-first century a group of scientists takecontrol of these few and start build-ing a marvelous new world.

In this wonderful world of the fu-Iture, cities are subterranean-vast ex- cavations, dug into the hills andIequipped with artificial light, heat andair. Buildings are constructed almostIentirely of glass, and constantlyIbathed in artificial sunlight. Human beings carry portable television sets,

Very sincerely,

(Signed) Richard Odiorne, Y.6.

WATCH FOR THAT PIN!Universities are filled with young men and women

who are throwing their childish illusions away for themore "grown up" ones that are found in college life,in fact we are getting away with such a change inthoughts that we actually believe it" to be really anessential precedent.

We have an illusion of prestige. Prestige is in-fluence. It is all aloma that surrounds people andplaces. It comes from social success, a beautifulhouse, a big brass knocker, attractive living rooms,and numerous other things. It is constantly rubbingoff onto one's chest. It pushes chin and nose upward,and it es er. gets into a handshake.

Another illusion is that of sophistication. We be-come sophisticated mostly through contact wmith pro-fessors, books, and other people. As sophisticatedpersons, wse 'know little about the contents of the books,or do wce understand our p~rof s or people eve talk to,lbut we can cross our legs gracefully, tell people aboutourselves and politely excuse ourselves when wie be-come bored. With an inexperienced eye, wse can dis-tinguish betwseen humanism and transcendentalism,bu-.t it is out of our line to differentiate between icecream and cottage cheese.

We might add those students to our lnisled listwanho are continuously grinding their books and nevertaking any time to contact people or take part insocial activities. We might add those urho are livtingin "joints," rumble seats, or dance halls.

Bubbles havre been drawn above, each spreadingand expanding into unreal college life-but soon some-olle will come &-ong with a pin in hand while wh-listlinga different tune.-Pvrdue Exponlent.

SPENDING SPREE$30,000,000,000. That's some chunk of dough, and

it's tile national deb~t of these United States. It'd beok~ay if wce didn't have to worry about paying it. But*^e, tse college men, whill have to bear much of the loadof the vast debt that the Roosevelt admlinistratioll ispilling, up at the rate of thousands a milnulte.

Youl could spend a lifetime counting $100 bills andnever get near the astronomical thirty billions. It s analbsolutely; incalculable sumn. And somebody has to pay-it; and we're nominated for touch of the task;.

The queer angle of the whole thing is this: thechaps doen aIt W\ashlington who are foisting this uponlus are clever going to see that debt paid. Ytears aftertines\ve passed hence and petitioned the custodians ofthe Hereafter to admit their Democratic souls, wxe poormortals wil lbe paying and paying. It's going to take-enerations to liquidate that thirty billion indebted-

oled Door-s AlgainNormalcy having more or less re-

turned to the Institute, we survey asbest wsle are able two very worn solesand wonder why under the sun wefeel obligated to make the rounds ofthe Institute every Open House. Thereare students who can resist thecrowds and the confusion, but we arenot of that preoccupied class. Westill like to watch not the exhibits, butthe visitors at the exhibits, and derivethereby amusement which if entirelyincapable of being explained coherent-ly is none the less real.

The idea of giving the freshmanhobbies the central ring of the circusis good. None of the hobbies involvetoo abstruse science; all of them areunderstandable by the average visi-tor which is more than can be saidfor seventy per cent of the upperclassand course exhibits.

We learned one thing about OpenHouse visitors. They aren't nearly asinterested in science or mathematicsor physics or chemistry as they arein good old-fashioned arguments withplenty of fireworks. One of the co-edsbecoming discouraged with the co-edexhibit turned into a refuge forWomen-With-Sore-Feet, got herselfan upperclassman to heckle and theydrew capacity audiences.

SPORTS COMMENT LThat certainly was a wild and wooly varsity crew race Saturday night,

with all three boats aiming blindly in the general direction of the finish lineand hoping to find it in the inky darkness. We watched the race from theHarvard Bridge and could see each crew clearly enough as it emerged frombeneath the bridge, but by the time the boats had got a hundred yards fartherdownstream it was purely guesswork to attempt to place the rowers. Techwas a fairly close third as it canie out from under the bridge, but the Tigerand Crimson oarsmen had more reserve power for the home stretch.

If it hadn't been for the field events on Saturday, the Engineertracksters would have beaten Maine handily. It is true that StanJohnson and Luther Kites took two of the three places in thebroad Jump, but the brawn and skill of the Pine Tree Staters in thediscus, javelin throw, shot put, pole vault, and high jump put themeet on ice for them. Of course a track meet isn't a real track meetwithout field events, so we shouldn't crab. For Captain Johnson, theOpen House Day meet was an opportunity to duplicate his triple winin the corresponding meet with Bates in 1935.

That 11-0 whitewashing of the Beaver lacrosse team on Saturday bythe Williams aggregation probably wouldn't have been so much of a shellack-ing if a few more of the Engineers had turned out for the game. The regulargoalie did not make the trip to Williamstown, and we are told that CaptainJoel Bulkley was running around tearing his hair in an attempt to locate afull team.

Son Guy Was StrokeThe long hours spent in training are

seldom off the river after the disap-pearance of the ice. The intense coldwhich paralyzes the coxswain andcoach, who must remain physically in-active, is the only thing that can drive|Williamn Haines inside; and then hetakes up the task of instructing onthe machines. The tendency for theHaines family to show a penchant forthe oar has manifested itself in Bill'sson, Guy, who was Captain and strokefor last year's Institute eight. Thisyear he is helping his father to put outa crew.

"My! What a lovely child, and doyou always run this big boat by youritsy bitsy self?" With this query thecomely English ladies would pick upthe five-year-old child, who was steer-ing his father's ferry boat, and kisshim. It would have been practicallyimpossible for an ordinary person toconcentrate on rowing under theseconditions, but Bill Haines, Technol-ogy Crew Coach, is no ordinary indi-vidual. He immediately put the femaleelement out of his mind and concen-trated in his only love, rowing. So itis that Technology has a crew coachwho is well qualified for all phases ofhis position.

|Went To EatonBill Haines comes from a long line

of crew men. It was undoubtedly oneof his ancestors who stroked Williamthe Conqueror over the English Chan-nel in 1066. This lover of the oar re-ceived most of his education in thatvenerable English institution, Eaton,but the fates were destined not toallow him to graduate from this exi-gent place of learning. In fact theyouth possessed a little too much ofthe Old Nick in him, and the facultyfinally decided that the school wouldhave to do without the services oftheir'. ?st stroke. But this did not dimBill's -rdour for the race, as is wellproven by hlis appearance a few yearslater as stroke on the crack four-oarcrew which represented Great Britainin the races held in Austin, Texas,with the United States. It might benoted that the Britons won the racesin both 1894 and 1896.

Coached Union Boat ClubThese dates may seem to place Bill

in the class of those who fought forthe Union in '66, but this is far fromthe truth. At present this ruddy-cheeked individual is in his prime.

Before starting his thirteen years atTechnology, this man who resemblesthe hardy Norsemen, was the coach ofthe Union Boat Club from 1911 tothe fall of 1915 when he took over thetask of instructing the Harvard oars-men. Finally he ended up here atTechnology in 1924. Since then hisfortunes have varied greatly. Uponbeing asked if the continual instruc-tion of different crews year in andyear out ever became boring he an-swered, "I've enjoyed every momentof it. It never becomes monotonous;each man brings up new problems, andI have grown to love helping solvethem."

The affection and respect whicheveryone out for crew has for this manis very noticeable when one talksabout him with these students. Hisgreat love for true sportsmanship isknown by all of the men w-ho haveever known him. He would not hesitateto give up a race in w lich his cox-swain attempted to rattle the oppo-|nent crew by disturbing comments.Yet the man does not possess the in-sane desire for victory and retentionof his position which makes it such ahell for the members and coaches ofmany other college shells.

Ladies Don't IKiss Him Any MoreBill looks back waith longing on his

blissful childhood, and tle great SOT-

row of his life is the fact that the la-dies don't kiss him as they used to.But he would like the American Pub-lic to take a greater interest in row-ing. He declares that the people shouldtake the attitude that the Englishhave towards the sport. Of coursethere it is practically the nationalsport, yet Bill maintains that the pub-lic here should also realize that thesport is not all lacing, but involv esmany technicalities which people

MEMORIAL-The first Bostonshoring of Things To Come will takeplace here Thursday night at a pre-view showing. Raymond Massey,Ralph Richardson, Sir Cedric Hard-wicke, Pearl Argyle,Margaretta Scottand Patricia Hilliard head a cast of20,000 in this mammoth production,which marks Mr. Wells' first originalscript for the screen, and gives athrilling picture of life in the 21stCentury when, according to Mr. Wells,

our. great-great-grandehildren will

live in marvelous subterranean cities,

flooded with artificial sunlight and

conditioned air.

Things To Come is treated as three

separate stories in which the present,

the near future-and the distant future

play the roles of three individual pro-

tagonists. Beginning in 1940, this

time-trilogy shows the world at the

brink of a war which destroys civiliza-

tion leaving in its wake a handful of

primitive survivors, ready for another

war. In the beginning of the twenty-

first century a group of scientists take

control of these few and start build-

ing a marvelous new world.

In this wonderful world of the fu-

ture, cities a-re subterranean-vast ex-

cavations, dug into the hills and

equipped with artificial light, heat and

air. Buildings are constructed almost

entirely of glass, and constantly

bathed in artificial sunlight. Human

beings carry portable television sets,

A SHORT LIFEVETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS

IKE a short-lived popular song hit, the epi-

LJdemic, of the organization of the Veterans

of Future Wars has come into our view and

then passed on into obscurity. While the activ-

ities of the college veterans were in the fore-

front of attention and while the school and

metropolitan newspapers were playing up the

idea to the utmost, there were varying natures

and degrees of reaction to the movement from

extreme indignation on the one hand through

uncertainty to utmost hilarity on the other.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the

American Le-ion puffed and pouted with re-

sentment, the benefactors of the recent bonus

rulings cringed a bit under the ridicule, the

press snatched up the news and gave it the

usual play-up to the limit, the student instiga-

tors and supporters floated for a spell on the

cloud of self satisfaction, and the general pub-

lic smiled to themselves.

But of a sudden the Veterans ran out of ma-

terial to keep up the barrage of ridicule, they

began to be overlooked by the newspapers as

enthusiasm waned, and for the past couple of

weeks little has been heard of the matter. The

post at Technology lived the same short life.

Amon- the college papers, reactions to the

Vt. F. NAMar.rlied also from whole-hearted sui)-pOlt of -,,he mov ement to scathing criticism on

the ogrounds that the new movement is dis-

r espectful to our w ar veter ans.Thlose who supported the V. F. W. in a spirit

of ridicule and lampoon of tile b~oon-do-g-lincr

of our congless, were in tile majority, hoss-

ever. Althouahl in the final analysis we should

respect those who fought and sacrificed on the

battle field, whether or not we are in sym-

pathyr witll the cause for which they fought,

most of us seem to b~e a-reeGd on the idea that

the moves of the V. F. W. can well serve as

satire of the representatives of the people who

too often squander the American's money to

the satisfaction of minority demands.

The treatment of the veterans' bonus was

merely the sublject which presented the oppor-

ttLInitv for the form of criticism which it is,getting by tile college youth through the V. F.

Wv. If the ridiculle handed out here has pinched

the r ighlt per sons es-en <a little. the efforts of

the orio in~ator s and subsequent supporter s

have not been wasted. No one should pass by

the -activities of the V. F. W.T with the impres-

sion that it is just another -oublhful prank a.c-

comminlied with thlou-hltlessness and -dis-

respect, butt all should see that it is an indica-

tion of the reaction of til-e colleg-e generation

to -ove) 1mental policies in general at the pr es-e -lt tille.

As f~ar as carrysing on the organization is

concer fed, nothing mor e of consequence islikely to comle of it because the V'eter~ans have

run oult of ammunition and hlave lost temipo-

ralily-, and thlelrefore per manently, the atten-

tion of the pub3lic. But that matters but littlebecaLise wh latever the movenment could accom-plishl ih the line of criticism of existing condi-

tinuation of the farce beyond this point wouldresult only in irksomeness. Also it would de-

tract from the prime motive of the organiza-

tion; namely to give warranted ridicule with-

out becoming a nuisance or a bore.

In opening its columns to letters addressedto the Editor, THE TECH does not guaranteepublicatien, nor does it necessarily endorsethe opinions expressed. Only signed com-munications will be considered. However, ifthe writer so desires, only the initials willappear on publication.

To the Editor of The Tech,

Dear Sir:

I feel that the story of the local broadcasting sys-

tem, appearing in the Open House issue of The Tech

gave the false impression that I was personally re-

sponsible, in a large measure for the design and con-

struction of the system which was intended to bring

to guests of Open House news of various events during

the day.

Insofar as credit was given to me in that report, the

story was false, for my part in it was very small. I

regret particularly that the story failed to give credit

to Mr. Glenn.Morris, Mr. Eon Nyhen and their friends

at Harvard, who not only provided equipment for the

radio link with the launch on the Charles, but gave

the entire day to operate it. They encountered diffi-

culties which would have exhausted the patience of

almost anyone, and stood up under a tremendous

strain against nearly insuperable odds.

The group of fellows who worked to make the

venture a success gave time and effort with no idea

of getting recognition or publicity; the reward for

the work, if any, was merely the satisfaction of doing

the best we could. I want to extend my apologies to

those whose co-operation was not acknowledged in the

last issue of The Tech. Among my friends at Harvard

who was not mentioned was Joseph Gratz. The list

of those at the Institute who helped includes Bill Fin-

gorle, Dick Vincens, Tony Hittl, Francis Peterson,

Fletch Thornton, Rufus Applegarth, Joe Kren, Joseph

McLean, Art York, Dick Hickman, Henry Rahmel, Ed

Bentley, Carl Me'ville, George Morrell and Walt Blake.

I want also to mention the superintendent of buildings,

the electrical supply department, the instrument rooms

the photoservice, and the signal corps as having con-

tributed help essential to the success of the venture.

To McKenna Radio of Harvard Square, which loaned

us a radio for tests, we owe a note of thanks. This

list does not include all those who offered suggestions

and encouragement. Ilay I be forgiven if it is in-

complete.

WATCH FOR THAT PIN!

Universities are filled with young men and women

who are throwing their childish illusions away for the

more "grown up" ones that are found in college life,

in fact Nve are getting away with such a change il

thoughts that we actually believe it to be really an

essential precedent.

We have an illusion of prestige. Prestige is in-

fluence. It is an aroma that surrounds people and

places. It comes from social success, a beautiful

house, a big brass knocker, attractive living rooms,

and numerous other things. It is constantly rubbing

off onto one's chest. It pushes chin and nose upward.

and it even gets into a handshake.

Another illusion is that of sophistication. W7e be-

come sophisticated mostly through contact with pro-

Iessors, books, and other people. As sophisticated

persons, wie know little about the contents of the books,

or do wse understand our profs or people wve talk to,

but wse can cross our legs gracefully, tell people about

ourselves and politely excuse ourselves when eve be-

come bored. With an inexperienced eye, wse can dis-

tinguish betwseen humianism and transcendentalism,

but it is out of our line to differentiate betw een ice

cream and cottage cheese.

We might add those students to our misled listwho are continuously grinding their booths and never

taking any time to contact people or take part in

social activities. 'We might add those who are lisving

in "joints," rumble seats, or dance halls.

Bubbles have been drawn above, each spreadi-ng

the Institute every Open House. There

are students who can resist the

the visitors at the exhibits, and derive

thereby amusement which if entirely

The idea of giving the freshman

bobbies the central ring of the circus

is good. None of the hobbies involve

too abstruse science; all of them are

understandable by the average visi-

We learned one thing about Open

interested in science or mathematics

or physics or chemistry as they are

in good old-fashioned arguments with

SPORTS COMMENTI That certainly was a wild and wooly varsity crew race Saturday night,

with all three boats aiming blindly in the general direction of the finish lineand hoping to find it in the inky darkness. We watched the race from theHarvard Bridge and could see each crew clearly enough as it emerged frombeneath the bridge, but by the time the boats had got a hundred yards fartherdownstream it was purely guesswork to attempt to place the rowers. Techwas a fairly close third as it came out from under the bridge, but the Tigerand Crimson oarsmen had more reserve power for the home stretch.

If it hadn't been for the field events on Saturday, the Engineertracksters would have beaten Maine handily. It is true that StanJohnson and Luther Kites took two of the three places in thebroad jump, but the brawn and skill of the Pine Tree Staters in thediscus, javelin throw, shot put, pole vault, and high jump put themeet on ice for them. Of course a track meet isn't a real track meetwithout field events, so we shouldn't crab. For Captain Johnson, theOpen House Day meet was an opportunity to duplicate his triple winin the corresponding meet with Bates in 1935.

That 11-0 whitewaslhing of the Beaver lacrosse team on Saturday bythe Williams aggregation probably wouldn't have been so much of a shellack-Ing if a few Lore of the Errgineers had turned out for the game. The regular

goalie did not make the trip to Williamstown, and we are told that CaptainJoel Bulkley was running around tearing his hair in an attempt to locate afull team. Actually it wasn't quite that bad, for the Engineers had a total oftwo replacements on hand for the contest.

should look for and appreciate, as wellas the individual problem of each man.

Son Guy Was StrokeThe long hours spent in training are

seldom off the river after the disap-pearance of the ice. The intense coldwhich paralyzes the coxswain andcoach, who must remain physically in-active, is the only thing that can driveWilliam Haines inside; and then hetakes up the task of instructing onthe machines. The tendency for theHaines family to show a penchant forthe oar has manifested itself in Bill'sson, Guy, who was Captain and strokefor last year's Institute eight. Thisyear he is helping his father to put outa crew.

"My! What a lovely child, and doyou always run this big boat by youritsy bitsy self?" With this query thecomely English ladies would pick upthe five-year-old child, who was steer-ing his father's ferry boat, and kisshim. It would have been practicallyimpossible for an ordinary person toconcentrate on rowing under theseconditions, but Bill Haines, Technol-ogy Crew Coach, is no ordinary indi-vidual. He immediately put the femaleelement out of his mind and concen-trated in his only love, rowing. So itis that Technology has a crew coachwho is well qualified for all phases ofhis position.

Went To EatonBill Haines comes from a long line

of crew men. It was undoubtedly oneof his ancestors who stroked Williamthe Conqueror over the English Chan-nel in 1066. This lover of the oar re-ceived most of his education in thatvenerable English institution, Eaton,but the fates were destined not toallow him to graduate from this exi-gent place of learning. In fact theyouth possessed a little too much ofthe Old Nick in him, and the facultyfinally decided that the school wouldhave to do without the services oftheir '. st stroke. But this did not dimBill's _.dour for the race, as is wellproven by his appearance a few yearslater as stroke on the crack four-oarcrew which represented Great Britainin the races held in Austin, Texas,with the United States. It might benoted that the Britons won the racesin both 1894 and 1896.

Coached Union Boat ClubThese dates may seem to place Bill

in the class of those who fought forthe Union in '66, but this is far fromthe truth. At present this ruddy-cheeked individual is in his prime.

Before starting his thirteen years atTechnology, this man who resemblesthe hardy Norsemen, was the coach ofthe Union Boat Club from 1911 tothe fall of 1915 when he took over thetask of instructing the Harvard oars-9men. Finally he ended up here atTechnology in 1924. Since then hisfortunes have varied greatly. Uponbeing asked if the continual instruc-tion of different crews year in a.ndyear out ever became boring he an-swered, "I've enjoyed every momentof it. It never becomes monotonous;each man brings up new problems, andI have grown to love helping solvethem."

The affection and respect w hicheveryone out for crew has for this manis very noticeable when one talksabout him with these students. Hisgreat love for true sportsmanship isknown by all of the men Xwho havreever known him. He would nlot lhesitateto give up a race in which his co:;-swain attempted to rattle the oppo-nent crew bv disturbing comments.Yet the man does not possess the in-sane desire for victory and retentionof his position w*hichi makes it such ahell for the members and coaches ofmany other college shells.

Ladies Don't Kliss Him Anly MoreBill looks back wsith longing on his

blissful childhood, and the great sor-row of his life is the fact that the la-dies don't11 kiss him as they used to.But he wsould like the American Pub-lic to take a greater interest in rowN-ing. He declares that the people shouldtake the attitude that the Englishhave towards the sport. Of coursethere it is practically the nationalsport, yet Bill maintains that the pub-lic here should also realize that thesport is not all racing, but in-olvesmany technicalities X hich people

Technology tracksters were defeat-ed Saturday by the University ofMaine, 71lJ8 to 63.7/, in the first meetof the outdoor season for the Engi-neers at Tech Field. The meet, an an-nual feature of Open House, appearedto be going to Technology during thepinning track events, but Maine's ex-cllence in the field events proved tobethe deciding factor.

Captain Stanley Johnson of the En-gineers displayed his versatility byFirnning his specialty, the broad jump,and also both hurdles. David McLellanalso starred when, after placing sec-ond in the 220-yard dash, he won the440-yard run. Henry Guerke camethrough with a second in the mile andin the two-mile run. Tech's failure togather many points in the field eventswas due mainly to the absence of TomBrown, the Beavers' best javelinthrower and shotputter.

Maine made a clean sweep in thediscus as Captain George Frame wonwith a throw of 125 feet. Frame in-creased the field record for the ham-mer throw from 158 feet 6 inches to166 feet 11/2 inches. The summary:

The varsity lacrosse team was aneasy mark for the strong WilliamsCollege stick wielders going down todefeat by the score of l1-0. The gametook place Saturday at Williamstowsn,Mass.

The main cause of the defeat canbe traced to the lack of manpow er.Coach "Tommny" Tucker had only two replacements to relieve the players asthey grew tired. The Williams teamwith three full teams available wvasconstantly being replenished by freshrnen who found it increasingly easy-to score. Charley Gidley, star first at-tack player, was unable to play be-cause of an injured shoulder.|Technology Versus DartmouthThe same situation existed yester-

Protons(Continued from Page 1)

Overton Luhr developed a pure protonsource, making use of the phenonienon of "accommodation coefficient',of ions which was discovered by Dr.Karl T. Compton of M. I. T. and Dr.Cletus C. Van Voorhis of PrincetonUniversity, several years ago. FPr-ther investigation of the method Ivascarried on At the Institute. While thissource was excellent in respect to thepurity of the ions it produced, it didnot give as large a usable quantity ofprotons as did a method developed byDr. Merle Tuve and his associates ofthe Carnegie Institution of Washing-ton.

More recently Dr. Compton, Lamarand Samson simplified Dr. Tuve'scource, and greatly increased theyield of ions. However, both methodshad the disadvantage of producingprotons which were accompanied byfive or six times their number of mole.cular hydrogen ions, the presence oiwhich interferes with the full poweof the apparatus. This obstacle ap-parently has been eliminated in thenew form of glass tube developed byLamar and Buechner.
