Mlarching under a 1938 flag, allthe freshmen taking MilitaryScience returned from drill lastnight in great indignation. TheoffendingE flag was flying fromthe roof c, Building 3, just abovethe door by which they entered.

Foiled In their plan to displaythe '38 colors above the tenniscourse on Coop Field. the Sopho-mores flew t hei r flag f r o mthe roof. In the ensuing battlebetween the Sophomores andjanitors, some of the freshmensucceeded in tearing down thebanner, but only after they hladall entered the building.

David S. 111cLellan, President ofthe Class of '37, opened the meetingand aftel finally getting order ex-plained the object and the rules ofthe glove fight.

Professor R. E. "Tubby" Rogersgave a talk, w-lich lie admitted wasnot in his line, although he hadwatched a lot of Field Days. Rogersexpressed the desire that the classof '39 should not enter into the eggfight if there is one started. He sug-gested that the freshmen should notstart it, and told them not to fire tillthey "see the whites of their eggs."Rogers also told the freshmen thatthe egg fight was not an old customof Field Day, but that it is a recentout-growth for which the Institute has

First Dorm Dance ToTerminate Field Day

Freshman Ties Will Be Worn If

Sophs Win Field Day

The Dormitory Dance, coming as aclimax to the Field Day events,promises to be a gala affair. Thebest possible dance music is expectedof Phil Carmody's orchestra, Fridaynight, so that the dance, beginning at9 o'clock and continuing through until2, will not by any means be a long-di-awn out affair. Open fires and com-for table lounges are to be providedfor those who -isl to rest a whilefrom the tumult.

Hugh T. Smith, '37, is in chargeof the decorations. Besides thoseplanned by the committee, the decora-tions will probably consist for themost part of gloves, football helmets,sweaters, and other similar athleticapparatus. The huge Technologybanner will be hung up, and, as isquite in keeping with the day, thescore of the field events vill be rep-resented in large figures by Fresh-men ties.

Tickets will be $1.50. Freshmenvill wear their ties or not according

Itis Professor Hauser's purpose to fur-ther phySsical and chemical knowledgeof colloids in connection with a varietyof industrial problemns. He intendsto direct his students on lines lead-ing to broader applications of ourknowledge of the colloidal state ofmatter. Thais is important, particular-ly because comparatively few in-dustries have made use of thisknowledge.

Dr. Hauser has brought with himnthe latest optical instruments that thelatest technique of science demandsfor this special field of research.Probably the most interesting is ahigh powver fluorescent light micro-scope, an instrument that opens upnew and unexplored fields of observ-ing reactions like surface absorption,etc. Newly designed projecting mi-croscopes vill enable him to demon-strate in class the B r o wni anmolecular movement, reactions offlocculation, dispersion, etc.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Life seems to have narrowed down to acompetition between our leading symphonicconductors to play the works of Sibelius in in-creasing slow tempi. The climax sas reachedSunday by Otto Klemperer with the New YorkPhilharmonic playing the "molto moderato"in the 5th as if written "largo e molto largo".

Wite have no quarrel with this engaginglittle by-play. It seems to have been startedby the young maestro Werner Jansen in hisdebut last year, and has probably done muchto clarify the delicate intricacies of oTches-tration and counterpoint. Since it wasknown that Jansen had the personal approvalof Sibelius, his style of conducting im-mediately was happily seized upon as a meansof proving that you were "in the know".

So on with the mad, mad whirl, but weventure to hope that as in Mr. Klemperer'swork last Sunday, tempi will not always takeprecedence over clarity of presentation.

ADVICE TO A SOAP-BOXSHADES OF LIBERALISM

HIERE is little doubt that all members of1 social institutions, whether they be na-

tional lea-ues or merely local clubs, stop atsome time to reflect upon the sincerity of puw-pose of their more active and seemingly moreimportant brethren. It is rather difficult,however, to weigh accurately the relative im-

6 portance of the assets and liabilities imputed6 to a society by the personality and appeax-6 ance of the member whose connection with

chat society is well known.G One of the reasons that most soap-box ora-7 tors are not taken seriously, even by mobs

whose average intelligence is far below thatof the orator, is that the latter appears tohis audience either as an educated Australianbushman, sans modern inconveniences suchas a barber or tailor, or as a rather dangerousex-inmate from some nearby asylum. Theresult, of course, is that no matter how hardthe orator may try to convince the public,his words -o unheeded. Some stand, ap-parently listening to him, for no other reasonthan that of amusement at the wild sight.Others stand around him with a rapt expres-sion, listening to the frantic notes in his voicewithout assimilating the substance of hisspeech. Still others remain in the crowd be-cause they have nothing else to do-theywould rather be watching a steam shovel.

EC TEXTA NEW VERSION

AST term there was published in thisL column a criticism of the textbook usedfor Ec12, the "Economic Process Volume I."At that time the Editors felt justified in mak-ing suggestions as to the arran-enment andstyle of the text on the basis of the state-ment of several members of the EconomicsDepartment that they would welcome helpfulCliticism from students.

The hopes of the students who offered theirsuggestions have been adequately borne out.The new text for introductory economics hasbeen revised, as was promised last year, andthe result is a clear, well-arranged, and read-able text, that extracts the essentials fromthe subject and presents them in logicalsequence.

One test of the good text is the easewith which the reader can outline the ma-terial. To be sure, the student should notbe slpoon-fed, nor should difficult concepts beover-simplified. But the logical and clearsequence of factual material is absolutelynecessary if the student is to concentrate onthe basic theory behind the printed words.In the new "Economic Process" the problemof outlinin- has been ably handled by theinclusion of topical sentences, which not onlymake the first reading more fruitful, but alsoincrease the value of a rapid review.

To say that an economic text especiallyadapted to the needs of the engineering stu-dent was an imperative need at Technologyis only to repeat the obvious. The writers ofthe present text were Unquestionably qualifiedto deal adequately with the problem. EBt abook of this nature does not spring into beingovernight, nor even in one year. In a fieldwhich changes as rapidly as economics, wemay expect major problems to be treated inan evrer widening variety of an-les, neces-sitating new factual evidence to support newtheories, and new lines of thought branchingout from the old. WVe feel sure that the De-partment of Economics at the Institute willrevise its text whenever it feels that thereale new frontiers to be widened il theeconomic wasteland.

Ballet Russe.COMMENTS

Boston is now left void of comedy andmusic. With The Great Waltz gone,one of the finest musicals of the kindthat we have had, we are left to waitfor The Student Prince. Life Beginsseems to have gone as quickly as itcame. Why, I do not know-it wasan interesting musical comedy regene-rating gags of grandfather's time.Nevertheless it was pretty good. Yes,and I guess the authors couldn't getthe Boston audiences to believe thatThere's Wisdom In Women for thatplay has also left, probably for good.

Howe-ver there is still somte lifeleft to the show world of the city.Ballet Russe is to open tonight. Thefinest ballet dancing this side ofheaven is supposed to be the featurefor the evening at the Opera House.For those interested:

And next week Katharine Cornellwill return to Boston in WilliamShakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Shewill appear at the Shubert. ThreeMen On a Horse will open next Mon-day night at the Plymouth. It is the"biggest comedy hit on Broadway" atthe present time.OPERA HOUSE

Ballet Russe de Monte Carlofounded on the old Russian ballet ofDiaghileff. First program for tonightincludes "Three Cornered Hat," comicballet with music by De Falla;"Sebeherezade," exotic music by Rim-sky-Korsakov; "Aurora's Wedding,"music by Tchaikovsky. The dancerswill perform every night this weekwith twvo matinees. Other programsinclude "Spectre de la Rose," fortnerNijinsky triumph, and "Choreatiumn"based onl a symphonic movement ofBrahms'.

"MONEY VERSUS MEN"

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

IT is not often that speeches made, state-ments printed, or pronouncements broad-

cast contain anything significant, anythingthat merits more than passing consideration.Usually the least important "news" is themost sensational, those which can be playedup for one edition, for a day or possibly two.The fact that Her Ladvship the Countess VonDown-the-Street had eloped with a taxi-cabdriver, or that one certain huge bulk ofmuscles and bones had succeeded in flatten-ing another in the fourth round constitutesa first class "lead" story.

An address "Money versus Men", deliveredby Edward Howard Griggs, Sunday morningat the weekly meeting of the CommunityChurch in Symphony Hall, appears to fall outof this category of Sensationalism; it meritsthe attention of everyone, no matter whathis individual beliefs, if for no other reasonbecause it attempts to discuss a vital problemon a plane higher than that maintained bymost party politicians. The address concernsitself with certain wealknesses of the presenteconomic system and stresses the dangers ofblind disregard of facts.

Mr. Griggs said in part: "Production anddistribution primarily for human service,with profits never ignored but always su-bordinated should be the dominant character-istic of the Amelican economic system of thefuture rather than commercialism which ex-ploits mien for profits alone.

"It has been said that the President shouldconfine himself entirely to helping us out ofthe slump, and leave all reforms for a moreprosperous time. I do not in the least sharethis view. It is just in a time of economicsuffeling that people are shocked out of theirusual lethargy, compelled to think and revaluetheir lives. It would have been tra-ic hadnot the President sought to utilize this crisisin inaugurating reforms that will give perm-anently -reater social justice. Much in theprog-am is frankly experimental, but life it-self is experiment. No chan-we means stagna-tion and death, while blind change is dis-integra-tion and anarchy.

"Social progress is thus menaced from twosides. The dispossessed, suffering under theexisting order, are apt to welcome any changeand so to foster destructive revolution. Thishas been sadly illustrated in Europe sincethe Wol ld War, Germany giving the lasttlagic example. On the other hand, thosewho ale privileged under the existing orderare inclined to resent and oppose any changefor fear of losing their privilege . . . Whentradition and justice conflict, it is traditionthat must yield. )Ichen the legal and themoral are in opposition, it is the legal thatmust be reformed. Wohen it is a question ofmoney versus men, it is money that must besacr ificed."

It might be well to ponder over some ofthese points before the approaching election,when heated, emotional campai-n speechesare likely to impede clear headed thinking.

Tech and Clark PlayScoreless Soccer Tie

Brilliant Play Of Clark GoalieKeeps Tech From Win

The great f ghting spirit of a poorlyorganized Clark University team keptthe M.I.T. soccer players out of thewin column for the third time thisseason.

The Clark team was so disorganizedthat Gray, Tech goalie made onlythree stops during the entire game,but the brilliant individual play of theClark goalie wras sufficient to holdCoach Goldie's men scoreless also andthe game ended in a 0-0 tie.

The lineups were as follows:-M.I.T., Gray, g.; Brittenham, rb.;Hamilton, (Capt.) lb.; Essley, rh.;Gillis, ch.; Angevine (Dresselly, sub.),lh.; Arino, or.; Dresselly (Kron, sub.);Wu, c.; Ceballos, iU.; Waxman(Wojetzak, sub. ).

Clark University:-Stedd, g.; Sul-livan, lb.; Balarion, rb.; McComas,lh.; Riley, ch.; Grip, rh.; Bibeaw, ol.;Gray, il.; Davis, c.; Symonds, ir.;Vanegreka, or.

One encouraging thing about Field Day is that by Friday night a Tech-nology team will have won an athletic event. So far this year, no Beav er teamhas been returned victorious in an athletic contest. The soccer team, a finedefensive aggregation without a scoring punch, has played three full gamesand has yet to score a point; although in their last encounter they played ascoreless tie with Clark. The cross-country team has also had three contestswithout turning in a win. So after Field Day we may all rejoice that a Techteam has finally been victorious.

The Beaver cross-country team operates under one serious handicapThere is no location in this vicinity where the harriers can really practicecross-country. All they may develop is their endurance, but they can-not develop hill-climbing speed by running around the reclaimed riverflats at school. The only time the runners see a hill is when they com-pete in a race. Cross-country practice wvithont hills is like hockeypractice without ice. Yet you never hear a complaint from the coachingstaff about this situation.

The addition of two points to the value of the glove fight, - hich1 re-valuation was simultaneous with the request for discontinuation of foodthrowing, showed definite foresight on the part of the Field Day commmittee.With the lower classmen having nothing but the athletic events to occupytheir afternoon's attention, the glove fight svill be entered uith more fightingspirit than ever before. The Sophs and frosh rill have their spirits-andclothes-undampened by decadent morsels and vill be better able to venttheir rivalry in an organized activity, in which a win means class pointstoward a Field Day victory. It is this column's hope that the classes of'38 and '39 will co-operate with the committee anal President Compton's wishto discontinue food throwing. Perhaps some pleasure was obtained fromit, but certainly it was not a great addition to Field Day. It till be anunusual sight to see competing classes actually watching the football game.

Glove Fight

By Oscar Hedlund

When the Sophomore and freshmancrews begin their crew race down theCharles River early Friday morning,the 35th annual Field Day will havebegun. The annual battles have con-tinued without interruption since theirbeginning in 1901, with the Sophshaving won 76 per cent of the 34 con-tests.

The first competition fas held atCharles River Park, and at that timethere were only three events on theprogram. They were football, relay,and tug-of-war. The programs werethe same until 1918, when the com-mittee decided to make Field Day abroader program and added two moreevents-the crew race and glovefight. By this addition the totalpoints were raised from nine to thir-teen-four for football, three for thecrew and relay races, twp for the tug-of-war, and one for the glove fight.

the Faculty Lounge on the secondfloor at 5:45, will proceed to the NorthHall for the dinner and the address.A discussion will follow every talk,and an opportunity to meet thespeakers personally will be afforded toany one desirous of doing so.

These dinners will serve the two-fold function of providing an op-polrtunity for the residents of theGraduate House to meet as one groupand to welcome in their midst per-sonal friends and members of the I[n-stitute StafF.

This arrangement, which gave manymore boys an opportunity to becomeactive team members, continued with-out change until this year, when acommittee ruling will raise the pointsfor glove fight from one to three,making a fifteen point total for theentire day.

The Field Day cup was offered inthe first year of competition and whenpresented, it was stated, "This cupis a token of victory to the winningclass of Field Day contests for thenext fifty years." This is the samecup which Friday's winner will re-ceive.

In the course of thirty-four yearseleven grand slams have been ac-complished and in every case it wasthe Sophomore class which was ableto score all the day's points. Notonce have the frosh been able to stoptheir opponents from scoring, but in1930 their Sophomore opponents couldonly gather two points.

The tables which follow show howthe classes have. scored and the per-centages they have attained in eachevent since the final revision in 1918.The probable odds based on past re-sults are also shown.

been blamed. Rogers said that he wasdisappointed in the spirit that thefreshmen had shown in their tug-of-war team and asked that they showmore of the ambition he saw whenthey tore down a 1938 flag. "If youwon't do it for yourself or for yourfaculty wrho love you," he urged thefreshmen, "do it for the co-eds."Wiihile Rogers was speaking someSophomore shouted '38 in at the door,but the commotion soon died whenthe ten men who dashed out returnedempty handed.

Professor Rogers concluded his"pep" talk with Dr. Allan WinterRowe's summary of the ideals of theInstitute Advisory Council on Athle-tics which follows:

I. To be amateur in thought,spirit, and act.

2. To foster honest competition asthe normal expression of healthyy outh.

3. To estimate the value of a sportby the number of active competitorsthat it attracts.

4. To inculcate and foster theideals of clean sportsmanship.

5. To be governed by the spirit aswell as by the letter of the rules of

play.

6. To refuse the cheap advantageof hair-splitting technicality.

7. To make the true goal of in-dividual and team endeavor the play-ing and not the winning of the game.

8. To be good winners and to begood losers.9. To promote and to aid athleticssolely for the physical and moral bene-fits accruing to the individual and tothe group in their exercise.10. To play to win, but only as thewinning may come through superiorskill, strength, or endurance.

The rally closed with Oscar Hed-lund's gloomy predictions that theFreshmen would lose all but threepoints if they did not show more am-bition in going out for Field Dayteams.
