D IENOUNCES MATERIAiLISM

Speaking before all audience whichfilled 10-250 to overflowing, Billy Sun-day, liard-fightinlg, shi-smashling evan-gelist, denounced "Godless, materialeducation" and proved that his eight

iyears of experience in the majorleagues had not been lost in the whirlof revival meetings. Standing beforehis enthusiastic listener s, Billy losthimself in a mass of baseball tech-

@nique, and while swinging imaginarybats, and pitching baseballs of mereair, Mwith an occasional leap into the

fatmospher e for a high fly, lie drove> lome point after point witl llis color-

ful anecdotes of former days.The vehement, acrobatic preacher,

with no chairs or tables oll which toleap and pour forth his sermon, filledhis speech wsith color and interestwith his characteristic facial ex{pres-sions, hand waving, crouchling, andqulicks jumps. Many times as hereached the high pitch of his cli-maxes his speech rivalled that of FloydGibbons' in speed and his audiencewas held spellbound to the end.

"Do Your Best," Keynote"Do your lbest," was the keynote of

his speech. "Learn to do the commonthings in an uncommon xvay. It's thefellow who can do a thing better thananyone else wvlo brings home thebacon," he said.

He went oil to cite twvo examples ofengineers, one wvlo always did his best,and another whlo was forced into doing'a poor job. Tlle first built a bridgenear Pittsburgh whlichl w^as one of thefinest examples of bridge building ofthe time. Its w-orth, however, wvas slotrealized ulntil some years later wvlenthe mighty Alleglleny' andl Mononga-hela rivers overflowved and wvaslled theentire cityd of Johnstowll, Pa., aglainstthe structure.

He concluded, "Thley dug tweolty-four hundred bodies out of tile muckand debris that surrounded the bridge,but not one stone of the masonry suf-f ered ! Not one stone of that bridgewas removred by that mighlty torrent! "And he brought hlis hand down with aslap to emphasize the fact.

"A second engineer wlas luired tobuild a bridge for the Erie Railroadat Ashtabula, Ohio. He submitted hisplans to the board of directors, whotold him it would cost too much andsuggested changes. The engineer'knew lie was taking a risk and at firstwvas reluctant to change llis plans, butlie finallya complied wvitll their s11g-gestions.

"For a number of years the bridgeremained uncllallellged witll only theslow rumbling of the trains passingover it every day. Tllen one night astorm came up. Tlle wind hlowled, andthe trees shook and the storm uen-leashed a fulry seldom seen in thoseparts. Coming down around the bendtoward the bridge wlas a special trainwith nine coaches jammed to thedoors with people. Just as it got tothe bridge, the bridge fell down and87 people wvere killed."

Billy shook his haned at the audienceas he climaxed his story w^itll thislast remark:I"The engineer who built the bridge,vllen he received news of tile disasters,

HARRIMAN TO SPEAKAT ALDRED LECTURE

"Trends of Business" Will BeSubject of Address

Mr. Henry I. Harr iman wvill deliv erthe third of this year's series of Al-dred lectures at 3 o'clock this after-noon in Room 10-250, speaking oll thesubject, "The Meaning of Major Busi-ness Trends of the Day." Mr. Harri-man is chairman of the New EnglandPowver Compally, chairman of the.Metropolitan Planning Board, Chair-mian of the Trustees of the BostonElevated Railway, and President ofthe Boston Chamber of Commerce.

The Aldred lectures were founded in1923 by John E. Aldred. After many-years of contact with important en-gineering developments, Mr. Aldredbecame convinced that technical stu-dents, who are on the threshold ofactual practice, would profit by thepersonal experience of men who havebecome successful in engineeringfields.

Football Signlals,Bring Responses

From Soda Jerks"Shake It, Squeeze It, Paint

It," But It Gets ResultsFor Customer

"Back stack-paint it black andsprinkle it ! " It is not an order to,tar and feather somebody, nor is itan attempt to sound foolish. Rather-it is the method of delivering ordersin the Supply Store of the Universityof Alabama. Since 1925 this system~has been used there, with a viewstowards speed, to order drinks andsandwiches.

Onl the w~hole the idea is styled after-football signals. For instance, ''Thir-ty-one, shake it !" or "Eighty-one-squeeze it!" All these signals havea prescribed meaning and with newsdrinks and new sandwiches other sig-nals are originated.

Cones Cal led SticksBlack, red, or white sticks are cones

of chocolate, strawberry, and vanillaice cream respectively. In generaicones are termed sticks and dishes arecalled stacks.

"One ja-va! " brings a steaming cupof coffee, while "one hot" calls forthhot chocolate. Sandwiches are workedoil the football system, the signals be-ing 101 ham, 201 chlicken, 3001 Swisscheese, and so oil to 1001, meaningbaked ham.

A popular drink of the Universityis called a "dope" and has the codename, "81, Squeeze it!". When lemonis wanted oin this drink it is squeezedbut wvithl cherry it is squirshed. Someof the other drinks are 21 grape juice;31. chocolate mlilk; 41, cherry smash,51. Dr. Pepper; 61, lime-ade; 71, va-nilla milk; 81, "dope" or Coca Cola;and 91, green river.

Signifying the process of puttinganl orange through a squeezing ma-chine, an orangeade brings forth theresponse, "Through the mill !" But afancy order 1,ke a chocolate nut sun-dae requires a much more intricateorder. This particular one is pro-dueed by the yell previously giv en"back stack-paint it black and sprin-kle it! "

A~niong the most stretched-out or-ders, according to the manager of thestore, is "31 shake it, sprinkle it, andfloat it ! " None other than a choco-late malted milk with ice cream ap-pears tender that commandl.

Sonletimes signals become mixed.bout as in football there is a remed=-to that. NShenl "signals off" is shouted it mneans that the order wvas no-undlerstood, and consequently the messsage is z epeated.

'eI' Will Arise" Chapter of Pro BetaA. FAmord ofcontiuouls

News ServiceFobr 5iO Years

Novel Fraternity Limits Its,Membership To Those

On Probation

Whrile the fraternities at Tech tryto raise their scholastic standinlg, itis admitted that they don not havethe same purpose as the new "I WillArise" chapter of Pro Beta Theta,whlich was founded at the Universityof Montana and which recently held

.its first annual Founder's Day banquet.Membership in this frmaternity,

f ounded exclusively for the promotionof better scholastic records of themembers, is limited to those studentswho have failed to pass the requlirednumber of courses and are on schol-astic probation for the term.

Charter Members at BanquetAt the banquet, which was held at

a down town restaurant in Missoula,the home of the university, all fourcharter members of this chapter averepresellt. Althlough nlothing is said ofit in the report issued on the banquet,one supposes that all of the chartermembers were allowed to make ashort speech by reason of the honorsurrounding their connectionl with fra-ternity.

The group w~as founded at the be-,ginnling of the winter scholastic period-,,%henl follr men, room-mates, foundthat they had all failed to make therequired "C" average for the previousquarter and were on academic proba-tion. Upoll analyzing the cause forthis failing, it woas discovered thattheir low grades were chiefly due tothe habit of "sleeping in," and there-by missing their eight. nine, and eventen o'clock classes.

Is Unique OrganizationResolving to do something to remn-

edy this deplorable situation the fourmlen organized the Pro Beta Theta fra-ternity, the name explaining the rea-son for the existence of the group. "IWill Arise" was chosen as an appro-priate name for the local chapter,whlich Mwas also the original one, and"Oh, how I Hate to Get Up in theMorning" wias selected as the officialfraternity song.

Thle motto, another of the publicfeatures of the fraterity, is "We PassEv~erything.'' A similarly appropriatesecret motto is admitted to the mem-bers it is said. The charm and pin ofthe fraternlityr withl such noble idealsis a miniature alarm clock.

Has Strict RulesRulles of the fraternity may appear

a bit strict, but one must sayt thatlley w ould certainly be effective in

combating ignorance and course fail-ures if carried out to the letter. Someof the regtllations under whlich the fra-ternity brothers in this group live are"Each member must be up by 7: 30o'clock every morning except Sun-day, must study at least four hours aday, and must not under any condi-tions except illness cut ally classes."

Infractions are punished by heavyfines, and since its organization morethan ten dollars hlas been collected

from this source. Money received isused to pay for a banquet held every

o7l0tlh.Members Are Equal

All members of the fraternity are of-ficers. There is one head-man, whois president andl treasurer, and theothers are all vice-presidenlts of equalrank. NTew members may be taken

in flext quarter if the members' gradesare still lowv enoull-~l to warrant a con-tinuedl existence of the fraternity.

Ap~parenltly the charter members ofhis orgranizationl are not extremelyiopefull of the r eslllts to be obtainedr om the(. sv stemi as they make thisprovision for its continulallce.

SUGARED PILLSW~ITH every expectancy of witnessing a very unsuccessful

attempt to sell heaven to the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, upwards of eight hundred members of the in-structing staff and student body crowded into room 10-250Wednesday afternoon to listen to that ranting evangelist,Billy Sunday, but, to their surprise, heard interesting recountsof innumerable anecdotes, each of which would make Profes-sor Miller tremble for his reputation. Not that Mr. Sundaymerely amused his audience; he did to a great extent; heaccomplished something which has been the bugaboo of everyteacher of every art-he made his point without too obviouslyurging it upon his listeners.

Not since the visit of Gypsy Smith two years ago has anyspeaker so held the attention of his audience. The evangelisthad every opportunity to talk religion, and such an addresswvas widely anticipated, yet not even the slightest attemptwas made to touch upon that topic. The subject that hedid choose was not a new one, and he made no appeal thatwe had not heard a number of times before. His method ofpresentation was so humanly informal, however, that whenthe meeting closed, no one f elt that he had been forced toaccept principles, no one was too aware of any potent sagaci-ties that might have f allen from the lips of the speaker, yetbeneath the satisfaction of having spent an entertaining hour,lay some benefit gained.

Many members ofe the Institute's Instructing Staff mightwell copy Mr. Sunday's methods. A student whose mind is atease can consume much more of the wealth of knowledge thatflows back and forth in a classroom than can one who isliterally forced to swallow it against his will. Professor Millerand a f ew others are able to "put across" the driest ofmaterial, merely because they appeal to the emotions tosuch an extent that the student is able to comprehend thesubject matter to a much greater degree. Would that moreof this evangelistic tendency existed within the stolid char-acter of the average engineering instructor!

POSITIONS WANTEDA T THE present moment, three maj or problems confront

practically every member of the Senior Class; first, thecompletion of a satisfactory thesis; second, the meeting of allrequirements for graduation; and lastly, the obtaining ofemployment after leaving the Institute. Of these the menmust solve the -first two through their own efforts, but Tech-nology offers no small amount of help in the solution of thelast within the functions of its Personnel Department.

Uinder Colonel Frank L. Locke, Personnel Director, theInstitute has within the last five years developed a service.which makes every effort to obtain positions for the members.of graduating classes. It arranges interviews between studentsand- the representatives of the larger industrial concernsthroughout the United States, and furnishes these companieswith statistics, biographies, records, and all other information.which may be of use to them. The interviews begin in theearly part of the Senior year and are continued through bothterms, allowing every student to survey the field of possibleemployment, and allowing the representatives to make a fairselection of possible employees. In addition, the departmentoffers its services to those men who are in need of wor k some-times long after they have severed their actual connectionwith Technology.

Practically every larger college and university in the UnitedStates maintains a similar service, but it is doubted that anyare operated as efficiently and as successfully as that at theInstitute. The Personnel Department is a large factor indetermining the success of subsequent careers, and, as such,-represents an invaluable asset to every member of the under-gradu~ate body.'

Adventure and misadventure befellfour American students when lasty ear they set oult to work their pas-sage to the Orient and back. and wereshanghaied to Cape Town, SoutlAfrica, instead. Recently they re-turned to this country, and one ofthem, from Oberlin College, accord-ing to the Oberlin Revielv gave the

In his description Henry Douglas,'29, describes conditions on the boatas "appalling," and the food "bad atall times." He continues his storyof wretchedness and cruelty.

"'The second day after wve left Am-erica one of the crew fell and brokehis le-. He wvas not given proper at-tention, and wilen we got to Shlangllaihe weas simply left there withlout any-Drovision for hlis aelfare. Though wew~ere in Borneo for a week, no oneva s allowed ashore there.

Mate Fights Dane"Tlle mate got into a fight with a

young Dane, who was injured so thathe had to be left in the hospital atBalik Papan, Borneo. Just before wvearrived in Cape Town one of the en-ginle boys fell sick, and died withinten llolrs. To top it all, our last nightin Cape Towrn wvas spent in the im-migration detention barracks."

Withl the understanding that they~would make a three montlls' voyage,touchling Cllina, Borneo, and Japan,and finally returning to California inSeptember, the students shipped asdeck hands on the Litiopa, a Nor-wegian oil tanker, at that time inSan Pedro, California.

No Contract or PassportsNo contracts were signed, and the

boys hack no travelers passports. In-stead of taking the ship back to Cali-fornia as understood, the captainsailed from Borneo to Cape Town,Africa. Here trouble wvithl the im-migration officers arose when thestudents attempted to leave the shipat Cape Town.

At this stage the captain refusedto furnish transportation back to theUnited States, but the students andsome other American sailors obtainedfrom, the Supreme Court of SouthAfrica an attachment on the ship andin that way passage to New York wasseculred.

A water shortagle at Hood College,Frederick, Mdl., has made it necessaryfor a rule to be passed allowing stu-lents only one bath a week.

PSYCHOLOGICAL IDEAFAILS IN EXECUTION

All-Southern Football PlayersRuin Professor's Plan

Professor Earl Dewey Meyers, ofChlica-o. professor of psychology atTulane University had a brilliant psy-chological idea the other day, but inexecution it wasn't quite so effectivein producing results as hle expected,or perhaps it had an even greatereffect than intended.

The idea of the plan woas to showthat when one is excited, hle does notobserve so accurately as he does whenill a normal condition.

Ill carrying his idea into executionlie secretly induced one of his stu-denlts, Richard Whittell to start a fighttwith hiln when the class began. Laterthe class was to be asked to describethe encounter.

But unfortunately, the class didn'twvait till later. Whenl the willing Whlit-

tenl attacked his instructor, Doll Zim-merman and Preachler Roberts, all-southlern football players intervened.

A fewt moments later the zviltedWhlitten explained and the somewhlatconfused Professor Meyers wvas sureOf just one thing,-: His popularityaniong the students weas a great dealmole actual than his psychology.

Frank Richards will be the onlypole vaulter for Technology in themeet, but judging him by his per-formance in the Hangar, each after-noon, there are going to be eithersome hardy Green men in the vault.or some broken hearted ones.

One match which will contain realclass is the broad Jump, every entryhaving beaten the freshman Intercol-legiate record in. the event, and everyone shows promise of being able todo better than lie has vet to date,these records having been made whenthe men were encased in their win-ter sweatshirts and sweatpants. Wrig-ley, Bel and Allen are the ones whogave Oscar Hedlunc this record to beproud of, and they are all enteredin other events.

Aside from the individual skill ofthe team members, this year, thereis a balanced sense of organizationabout the men whicl spells trouble forthe persons against whom it is exert-ed. There is rarely an aggregation oftrackmen which includes so many all-around stars, and in the light of theseconside ations, there ought to besomething big to talk about after themeet.

With champions in three events, thefreshman track team goes to Hano-ver, New Hampshlire, to (lo battle withthe Dartmouth frosh this Saturday,and Coachl Hedlulnd says that therehasn't been such a groulp of athletesin a freshman class in "many a longmoon." Last year the Greens beatthe yearlings by a rullaway score, thetime is ripe for a reven~ge and the menfeel it.

Dick Bell, Holladay, and Allen areentered in the dashles, with Bell hlold-ing the Intercollegiate freshman rec-ord in the fifty yard race. There oughtalso to be plenty of pushing for thelead in both the hundred and the two-twenty. Holladay and Allell arecause they have been making quitecause they have been making quiteas good showings in the daily prac-tice.

In addition to the raceagainst their opponents, thel e is akeen rivalry between the two menthlemselves, and this meet offers anunexcelled oppoltunity for them to d e-cide which man is the better.

"I-didn't go up-there witl, the idea ofstriking filt:` I had- a definite aim, toget on base.

That ship) was a derelict. There aremany such derelicts in the world to-day. Don't be one."

He drews hearty applause from theaudience by his statement, "Don'tthink that everything that is -worthlearning is givers to you by the Pro-fessors here at Tech. There are twokinds of education, one that other peo-ple grive you and that you get for your-self and each one is just as important as the other." '

He told the melt to develop a spiritof kindness. "Kindness is ain in-stinct." lie said. "Politeness is ain art-pure applesauce."

Plans For Freshman Dance A4re Approved

Institute .Committee Passes_ Motionl After Long

Discussion

(G07ltinulcd1 frome Page OnIC)Since the subject of a freshman dancehas already been brought before theCommittee and wvas decided neither afinancial nor social success, I feel thatthe date of May 1 should be reservedfor thle Musical Clubs."

O. Glenn Goodhland, '31, next tookthe floor. "Although the InstituteCommittee decided last year to aban-don freshman dances," he said, "Inevertheless feel that last year's ac-tion wlas a mistake and should be re-versed. The freshmen understood thefinancial hazard that faces them, butthe present Senior class gave a dancein their Freshlmanl year which wasfinancially successful and was alsosomewhat of a social success. As forthe date, that can be given to theExecutive Committee for action. I feelthat the freshmen should be givenpermission for the dance, but not onMay I."

"Dances Financial Failures"At this point Humphries changed his

motion to read withlout ally specifieddate and it wvas again put before thecommittee. Sanders again took thefloor against the measure. "It is awell-known fact," he said, "that thesefreshmen dances have proved finan-cial failures more than they hatebeen successes and the dance commit-tees, whlo did not realize all the factsin the case, were forced to shoulderthe 'Loss. If the freshmen dance werebanned, the Sophomore Dance wouldthen benefit and perhaps even theSenior Prom. In that way there wouldbe one less dance and the others willbe better attended."

Goodhland then explained that sincethe Sophomore Dance would be heldbefore the Fresllman Dance and sincefreshmen wnere not allowed at tileJunior Prom, thle attendance at eitherwvould not be materially decreased.Humpllries said that he thought thefreshmen could receive valuable ex--perience wital their dance this yearwhlicll would help them in their comn-ing affairs.

After a little more discussion inwhlicll the fact that the freshmen wrerealso planning a class smoker wasbroughlt out, the motion was put to avote and passed.

At the same meeting Louis P. Hol-laday '34 wvas approved by the Com-mittee to succeed Everett Kimball,Jr., '34 as freshman member of theInstitute Committee. Holladay pre-pared at Penn Chlarter School wnherelie wvas active in track, soccer and theclass record. He was anchor man ofthe Freshman Field Day relay team,is a member of the track team andPhli Beta. Epsilon fraternity.

Thlere has been no change in theother freshmen class officers.. Hum-phlries. the president of the class, andSayonard H. Farnum '34, are the othertwno men representing the class onthe Institute Committee.

I could see thatit was going to be high and close.Tllen just as he threw the ball, hisfoot slipped. Instead of a high closeball it was knee high just as the bat-ter wanted. I heard the crack of thebat and looked up. The ball was sail-ilg high and wide right for right field.

Tells of Greatest Catch"I never ran so hard in all my life.

The whole game depended on thatcatcl. Tle ball, I could see, was go-ing stlraight toward a group of spec-tators who had crowded onto the side-lines after the grandstands had beenfilled. I yelled, 'Get out of the way,'and they parted like the Red Sea atthe rod of Moses.

"I was running as fast as I ever ranbefore. I could see that I stood verylittle chance of getting it. I prayedto God. I remember I said somethinglike this, 'Please God let me get it-and malke up Your mind fast becauseYou haven't much time to decide,' Justthen a current of wind picked up theball and held it just for the smallestmoment. But that was enough. Ijumped up as high as I could; the ballhit my bare hand-and stuck. It wasthe greatest catch I ever made."

Acts Different Parts.Whlile telling this story Mr. Sunday

went through all the motions of thepitcher as he tlrew the fatal ball. Heshowed how the batter hit it, how heran after it and in the end lie jumpedovel a foot and a half off the floor,despite his sixty odd years, to showthat great last effort which succeededin capturing the ball.

No one, especially no real Scot, would let a black sheep go un-

shorn. That's the whole story behind the centuries-old black

and white "Shepherd's Check." During a period when the

wearing of the Tartan plaids was forbidden, the "Check" was,

the national costume. 100 years ago a Scotchman experimented

by dye-copying the color schemes in Killiecrankie Pass. His

new dyed check was a great success and a 19th century Scotch

vogue. We've copied him at his best in our "Shepherd's Check"

neckwear. The Prince of Wales and well-dressed Londoners

like them wholeheartedly. We're sure you will-at $2.

For wear with a blue suit: a Shepherd's Check tie in BrackenRed and Yellow; or Navy, Marine and Light Blue.

For wear with a brown suit: Shepherd's Check in Chocolate,Brown and Tan.

For a gray suit: Black, Gray and White; Cardinal Red andBlue; Jasper Blue and Black. Come in and investigate the pos.
