Members of Staff of Course XVContribute Sum to Meet Duesand Fine Assessed on Societyby Institute Committee

The controversy between Corpora-tion XV and the Institute Committeewhich resulted in the withdrawal ofofficial recognition of the Corporation,was brought to a sudden close yestcr-day by Professor Erwin H. Schell,head of the Department of Businessand Engineering Administration inwhich Corporation XV is the under-graduate professional society.

In a letter to William G. Ball, Jr.,'34, president of the CorporationProfessor Schell expressed the desirethat the society "continue peacefullyto carry on the splendid work" whichit has been doing and enclosed sixdollars which had been contributedby members of the Department t0meet the amount now in dispute andpayable to the Budget Committee.

Millikan Presents Discussionof Cosmic Radiation

and Positrons

Leadin- scientists from all overthe world are gathel ed at the Insti-tute this week to hold the autumnmeeting of the National Academy ofSciences. Sessions which began yes-terday morning with a business meet-ing wtill continue throughout todayand tomorrow in the Eastman Lec-ture Hall.

At the scientific sessions, which areopen to the public, papers will bepresented on recent advances in thefield of science. Papers this after-noon will be on biology and medicine.Professor J. L. Cartledge and Dr. A.F. Blakeslee of the Department ofGenetics at the Carnegie Institutionof Washington will discuss the in-creased number of mutations in oldseed. A discussion of "blackhead,"a fatal disease in turkeys, will bepresented by Dr. Ernest EdwardTyzzer, of Harvard Medical School.

The autumn meeting was openedyesterday morning by Dr. Karl T.Compton, President of the Institute,who gave the address -of welcome.He emphasized the fact that althoughTechnology has undertaken the pri-mary responsibility for the occasion,Harvard is also a host, since some ofits members have co-operated inworking on the local committee. TheTechnology members of the localcommittee include Dr. Karl T. Comp-ton, chairman; Dr. John C. Slater,secretary; Dr. Frederick G. Keyes;and Professor Emeritus WaldemarLindgren.

Millikan Discusses Cosmic Rays

Following the welcome, the firstscientific session was conducted,Robert A. Millikan of California In-stitute of Technology presented apaper on cosmic rays and another onpositron electron pairs. He assertedthat cosmic bursts are not due tothick swarms of rays, but are rathelinstrumental accidents when a gammaray explodes an atom and disturbsthe sensitive electroscope. The secondpaper, presented on behalf of CarlAnderson and Seth Neddermeyer, dis-cussed the electron and positronpaths produced when a gamma raycollides with an atomic nucleus.

A second speaker at the morningsession was Abbe Georges LeMaitre,'27, author of the theory of the ex-panding universe. His hypothesissets forth the idea that the universebegan as a limited region, but a gi-gantic explosion began tHe disintegra-tion of this system, resulting in theoutward movement of the heavenlybodies. Some of the local systemsexperience contractions within them-selves, forming nebulae and galaxies.

Development to Test Desirabil-ity of Public Control on BigScale; Importance of UnifiedControl for Power Develop-ment shown

Dr. Arthur E. Morgran, Chairmanof the Tennessee Valley Authority,which was called the greatest eco-nomic and social plan undertaken inthis country, described the develop-ment yesterday evening in WalkerMemorial in a public lecture, whichwas a part if the opening program ofthe National Academy of Sciences,now meeting at the Institute. Theplan was characterized as an experi-ment to test the desirability of pub-lic ownership before applying it ona larger scale.

The proper way to treat the Ten-nessee Valley Authority, according toDr. -Morgan, "is not as an isolatedundertaking, but as an integral partof the whole program of the presentadministration." It is an effort toappraise the merits of broad-scaleconclusions about the social andeconomic order so that it is possibleto "bring about necessary changeswithout undue violence or upheaval."

Economic Planning NeededThe necessity of unified economic

planning was stressed by Dr. Morgan."To make significant changes in thehabits of a country, and to actuallylay the basis for a different socialand ecomonic order is no short-timejob," he stated. "Tariff policy, bank-ing policy, the National RecoveryAdministration, those and other is-sues must be dealt with by the nationas a whole."

MASQUE AWARDGIVEN AT BANQUETThe award of $50 for writing the

manuscript which was selected forthe 1934 Tech Show will be presentedto Deborah V. Rubenstein, '34, andJoseph Dauber, '34, the co-authors,at a banquet to be held in the facultydining room at 6:30 p. m., Thurs-day, November 23.

TO INSTALL SOUNDSYSTMEM IN 10-250

Equipment Will Include NeededPublic Address System

Definite authority has been givento the Technology Photo Service toinstall sound equipment in LectureRoom 10-250. Completion of thework, which has all eady started, isexpected in two ceeks.

besides being suitable for thepresentation of talking pictures, theequipinent will include a public ad-dress system, so that students attend-ing lectures will have no difficulty inhearing the instructor, nor will theinstruct-or have to speak loudly.

Talking pictures other than thoseshown for educational purposes willbe shown by the various clubs andprofessional societies of the Institutewho wish to do so.

The Photo Service has been experi-menting with talking pictures inWalker Memorial dining room, and inother lecture rooms. Frank H.Conant, who is directing the worksays that the acoustics are excellentin 10-250 and good in Walker. HPalso states that the Photo Service isobtaining some portable equipmentwhich may be used in any of thesrrooms.

Leslie Howardl and Heather Angelgive masterful representations of twovery difficult parts, in this odd trag-edy. Howard portrays the palrt ofa man with a theory that time maybe traversed, and goes back to the18th century where he falls in lovewith a girl dead a hundred and fifty-three years.

It must be understood that originalproduction ofe this play caused anenormous sensation in London andNew York. The picture follows theoriginal themne almost exactly, butstands as another example that thescreen, ats compared to the legitimatestage, is a sterile mediuim.

Although there wel e no detectabledramatic flaw s, instead of the ex-treme emotional -climaxes of the play,the picture makes one feel just alittle uncomfortable. Evlen so, for astraightforward interesting -situation.Ifull of those subtle creations knownas "touches," this picture remainsone of the foremost.

Someone from the 'S. M. lab tellsof a notable triumph of the purelytechnical mind over those crafty menof mighty business. by which wemean to say that Course VI andCourse XV clashed, and the electricalmen came out on top.

The hapless Bus. Ad. man was in-vrolved in an argument as to theversatility of the telephone, and wasfinally urged into one of those twvobooths over that wtay, to be shown bydemonstration that no call was toolong or too short.

After he had been instructed in theuse ofe the instrument and given anumber to call, all waited expectantly.At first there was no response, butin the nick of time. old Bell camethrough, and the engineers sighed inrelief as the bell in the next boothstarted ringing.

At the last report, the businessman was still probing for his nickel,and vainly.

Ba~q and BnttleWe a re pleased to announce the

Institute's most seclusive and exclu-sive society, just formed-Bag: andBottle.

Only coeds and Course VIII menare eligible, and very few of those.The requirements are that you bringyour ownl lunch to school, and it mustbe brought in a brown paper bagThen if you are in on the deliveryof milk to a certain door of the Insti-tute, you might be elected.

The society is strictly a luncheongathering, and we regret to statethat, since there is only room forthree persons at the present meetingplace, no more elections will be -madeuntil the exit of one of the presentmembers.

Boogey-ManA f riend of ours is one of those

eligible f or the above, but prefers totake his meal in Walker, for whichwe can't blame him.

His story is one of the f utility oflife. Ile tells us that he walks oncearound with his sandwiches claspedsafely, and then, buying a glass ofmilk, sits down to solitary meal witht he brownbaggers staring at hin -indisapproval.

But he says he doesn't care, noteven a little bit. Says he often thinksof blowing up the bag and burstingit, just to see the brownbaggersjump, but doesn't do it very often.Thinks they imight get used to it.

BACK TO TECH - - -

1t4ANY of us who went to the Scabbard and Blade Ball FridayMV] night were much puzzled by seeing so few familiar facesamong the musicians. The posters said that the Techtonians wereto play, but the number of Tech students in the band was verysmall indeed. In fact it consisted of a leader and two or threemen. At least six of the musicians are known to have been pro-fessionals.

This orchestra has obtained a large number of Jobs throughits connection with the Institulte. It is a member of the CombinedMusical Clubs, and as such was supposedly made up of Technologymen. All of the student members of the band must pay their fivedollars to join the clubs -the professionals do not.

Whenl we first looked into this situation, the offenders com.-plained that there were very few men in the Institute capable ofkeeping up the high standards of the Techtonians of last year.Members of the band complained that no high degree of perform-ance could be reached because practice sessions were too few andfar between. As a matter of fact the music Friday night did notcompare too favorably with last year's Techtonians. The lack ofrehearsals is painfully obvious even in a band of professionalsgathered from the four corners of Boston especially for the occa-sion. A well-drilled group of Tech men could have done as well.

Enough pressure was brought to bear by the advisory boardof the musical clubs so that the leader of the Techtonianls has re-signed to form his own band made exclusively of professionals. Adecision as to the future of the Techtonians is still pending.

In reorganizing, the band should stay within its original pur-pose. The music may not rank with that of some professionalgroups, but it will represent a real effort toward honest work bymen who are willing to put in a bit of their time to make a fewextra dollars. This would provide the necessary incentive to hardwork and results. However, we appreciate the fact that if no onein school can play a particular instrument needed, it may be neces-sary to import a professional. But this should be the only con-dition.

AN ARMISTICE SIGNED

THE agitation aroused in the hearts of those to whom Corpora-T tion XV is dear, by the action of the Institute Committee lastThursday, is due to a misinterpretation of the constitution of theUndergraduate Association. Reading in the constitution underthe article IV, section 6, of the Budget Committee rules we find asfollows:

"The annual dues for each organization coming under thejurisdiction of the Budget Committee shall be one dollar, payableon January 1, except that organizations financed by undergraduatedues shall pay no dues to the budget committee. A fine ofc fivedollars shall be imposed for the late payment of dues."

The high minded financiers from Course XV evidently figur-ing that economy begins at home, interpreted the above rule toapply to their organization. From a close study of the rule, wewonder how the Institute Committee was able to qualif y the state-ment and read into it a meaning like this: . . . organizations fi-nanced by the undergraduate dues are those which are subsidizedby the Institute in the form of money grants from the Bursar.The constitution should be changed so that the proper interpreta-tion can be read into the rule without reading the invisible writingbetween the lines.

Corporation XV is a live activity, its lectures and social activ7i-ties are before us constantly. With recognition withdrawnl by theInstitute Committee, they were barred from using the bulletinboards to advertise their activities (this was a fatal blow), but theofficers of the Corporation decided to fight the issue to the end.-Both battlers, the Corporation and the Institute Committee wereequally determined; the issue might still be a hotbed of discussionbut for the Faculty. A collection was taken among the Instruct-ing staff of Course XV and the bill paid. The Corporation is re-instated. A good fight is over.

Yours very truly,ERWIN H. SCHELL.

Ball Forwards MoneyLate yesterday afternoon, Ball

forwarded the money to the InstituteCommittee and shortly afterward,Richard Bell, '34, chairman of theInstitute Committee, issued the fol-following statement:

"Since Corporation XV has paidits debt to the Undergraduate Asso-ciation in full, the organization isautomatically re-instated as a mem-ber in good standing."

The controversy which yesterday'sdevelopments brought to a closehinged on the interpretation of theterm "undergraduate dues" as it ap-pears in the Undergraduate Associa-tion constitution. The officers ofCorporation XV interpreted the termto mean dues -which are collectedfrom undergraduate members of theorganization. "Undergraduate Dues"are described in the Institute Cata-logue as those dues which areappropriated by the Bursar from thetuition fee of all students and usedfor "the promotion of student life atthe Institute."

a spectacular sixth in the I.C.4A. Cross-Country Championships, right behindnone other than the great Gene Venzhe, with whom he battled right up tothe finish line and who beat him by the narrow margin of three yards. That'ssome feat and we don't mean maybe! That sixth place helped a lot in thetotal and was largely responsible for Technology's finishing in twelfth place.

Last year the first Engineer to finish was Johnny Barrett, infortieth place, who yesterday finished fifty-fifth. The work of theother members of the team cannot be disregarded either, for it wasthe good work of Barrett, Talbert, Ranger, and Fitch which upheldJenkin's performance and made the good team showing possible.A4s for the freshmen, as a team they did esen better than thevarsity, finishing sixth and living up to the predictions made forthem.

We want to take this opportunity of thanking Oscar for his thoughtful-ness in sending the sports department of THE TECH a telegram telling of theresults of the race. Perhaps we should also speak of his generosity, fortelegrams from New York cost money, especially one of the size and detailthat Oscar sent. Of course THE TECH did pay for it but not before Oscarhad offered to pay for it himself.
