NCE again the Editors ofTHE TECH sharpen the

well-worn pencil and bringforth from the darkness ofthe- office closet the trustyshears: and indispensablepotof.paste. THE LOUNGER,he Wyho guides the waver-

ing footsteps of the timiid Freshman, has againdonned his mask, and is fully prepared tooffer wholesome advice and worthy sugges-tions to all who are in his opinion in need ofthe same. The Business Manager is oncemore on the war path, after a four months'period of needed rest and recuperation, andeven now his war-whoop may be heard re-ecqhoing along the corridors of Rogers.

The introduction of new ideas will makeTHE TECH more interesting than ever be-fore, and it is hoped that the paper will re-ceive the proper support by alumni andundergraduates alike.

N another column of this issue ofTHE TECH will be found an invi-tation and appeal to members ofthe entering class to try for TIRETECH Board. The management

of the paper wishes to see that class earlyrepresented on its staff and trusts that thematter will be taken up in a creditablemanner.

T was gratifying in no smallway to members of the upperclasses, and indeed to all whowere present at the addressmade to the entering classby President Pritchett, to see

the spirit manifested by the entering class:towards the President and the intelligencewith which his address was received. Ofthe address itself there is little that needs besaid; it was, as are all of Dr. Pritchett's ad-dresses, simple, strongly terse and direct inits illustrations and applications. It is notthis side to which there is need 'to point. Itis the personal note in the President's addresswhich is to be thought of and'appreciated.The Freshman is too little likely to realizethe advantages which are gained by personalcontact with his instructors and with themembers of the Faculty. Last year Presi--dent Pritchett took the initiative in many newmeasures which brought the undergraduates

II

THEi~t

into closer contact .with one another, and,more than that, with the Faculty. In hisaddress Dr. Pritchett dwelt, moreover, uponthe fact that life at the Institute means, firstof all, work. This undoubtedly is, in largemeasure, understood by the entering class,but the second principle for which lifeat the Institute stands, or should stand:the broad development along physical,ethical and asthetic lines, is one which

not only Freshmen, but upper-class men as

well, have yet to learn. The emphasis givenit by Dr. Pritchett is most desirable. Noth-ing is of more importance. It is well to re-member that it is an ideal not to be dismissed

as affecting one accidentally; it is essentialto real success.

OW that the confining work of the

aollege year has again commened,9 the preservation ·of health and

strength becomes a problem ofz~ ' primary moment to the student.

The solution to this problem is thegymnasium. Two objections to

exercise in a gymnasium are frequently putforward: that fresh air and out-of-door exer-

cise are better, and that the gymnast exercisesthose muscles most easily controlled,' thereby

becoming. unequally developed. Both are

true to an extent. However, when time isprecious, as is that of the Tech student,exercise must be at once varied and con-

densed, as is the case in a gymnasium. Also

each student at the gymnasium is measured

by the instructor and is then subjected to a.

system of exercises adapted to his needs, soproviding against the second objection. Thestudent who does not take this exercise for

his body's sake alone, finds a practical and

immediate return for time expended, in aclearer brain, with a consequent ability for

more rapid and-efficient work.

Pres. Pritchett to the Freshmen.

At one o'clock on October 2nd, the opening dayof the school year, President Pritchett delivered theannual address of welcome to the entering class inHuntington Hall. Many upper classmen werepresent as well as Freshmen.

President Pritchett spoke in part as follows:" One of the privileges which comes to those who

have to do with the work of instruction is the oppor-tunity, year by year, to enlarge one's acquaintance.This means in most cases to enlarge the number oftheir friends. It is my pleasant duty today to wel-come you to the Institute of Technology, to its work,to its associations and to its friendships. The yearsthat you are to spend here will, I hope, be full ofearnest work. I trust they may bring you no less theexperience of wholesome companionship and the re-ward of sincere friendship. In these relations I hopeI may have a part. Your student life is not to beisolated from that outside. It is to be a part of it,and a preparation for the work of the world. Earnestas is the life you will wish to lead here, it does notabsolve you from the relations of other men; the re-lations and the duties of kinship, of the social order,of citizenship.

"The country in which we live and under whoseprotection we pursue our several paths in peace andsecurity has, during the past month, passed througha deep experience. It is right that you should, ascitizens, share in the problemns that such events sug-gest; and, as I look into your faces, I can but re-member the words of the dead President, so recentlystruck down by the hand of an assassin, spoken as Isaid good-by to him a year ago when I came to theinstitute. 'I hope,' he said to me, 'that some waywill be found to teach the young men in our schoolsa better estimate of the dignity and honor of servingone's country well, and that in some way they maycome to understand that men in high place in Gov-ernment are honestly striving for good ends, andthat unworthy purposes are stumbling-blocks, nothelps, in a political career. I wish,' said he, ' thatthe boys of the country might understand that theyare factors in the country's upbuilding and mustlearn to take upon themselves its responsibilities.'

"His death has brought afresh to the attention ofall citizens questions of grave import and of far-reaching consequences. It is not my purpose to dis-

Il

iIi

ir"M P" IrW4 0-

TiHq E: IMCH

cuss these questions in any other way than to echothe President's words and to remind you that theyare questions in which you have an interest and aresponsibility. Two thoughts occur to me whichseem to have special significance for you as studentsand citizens. It is easy to see that the shot whichkilled President McKinley was aimed. at the destruc-tion of all law and of all authority. Even the dullestcitizen of our republic can appreciate that the spiritwhich stands behind this act is subversive of ourwhole legal and social order. But it is well to re-member that all violations of law tend toward theoverthrow of the nation's rights. The corporationwhich buys from a corrupt city government thefranchises which belong to the whole people, thepublic officer who betrays his trust, the mob whichsubstitutes force for legal process, or which under-takes to administer justice by mob trial, is sowing theseed whose fruit is Anarchy. Obedience to law is aheritage which our race has acquired only aftercenturies of struggle, and any violation of the law isa sin against the rights of all.

"Let us remember, even as students, one otherthing. The question before the American peopletoday is not whether the Government can suppressanarchy or bribery or municipal corruption or how todeal with any one of the problems which confront it.It is the old question which has been before us thesehundred and twenty-five years, and it is a part of thevery nature of our republican institutions. That'question is, will the body of our citizens give intelli-gent and conscientious thought to problems of citizen-ship? With an intelligent citizenship all theseproblems can be patiently and successfully met.They can be met successfully only by such a citizen-ship, and therefore if I may say one word to you atthe beginning of your life here which I should beglad to leave with you it is this: While you are learn-ing to be engineers do not forget that you are citizensof the Republic, and share its responsibilities.

"As to your life here I can at least say this: TheInstitute of Technology is a place where men comefirst of all for work and study. I trust you may findthis atmosphere to be to your liking and that you willundertake your life here in that spirit. But I shallbe disappointed if ycu do not also find here thatwhich ministers not only to work, but to. scholarship

tand to culture, and that the aasociatibns:with- the

professors and instructors, as well as with each other,may be helpful to you in your relations with men aswell as in the pursuit of the particular branch of ap-plied science which you are to follow.

"There is a vast difference between training andeducation, A man may be a highly-trained en-gineer and yet remain uneducated in the best andbroadest sense. I commend to you the ambition tobe educated engineers as well as to be trained en-gineers. You will find among professors and in-structors every wish to assist and to encourage. Ibeg to assure you of my own desire. to share yourconfidence and your friendship. There is no workwhich I can do in the Institute of Technology soimportant as that which brings me in touch withyour life and your difficulties and your aspirationsYou can do me no greater pleasure than to come tome for a word of consultation or advice, and toadmit me to your friendship."

Y. M. C. A. Reception to xi9o.

Last Friday evening the members of theFreshman Class were tendered a reception inthe library of Rogers Building by the M. I. T.Y. M. C. A. The reception was wholly in-formal and was given with the hope that themembers of the class would find an oppor-tunity of becoming acquainted with at leasta few members of their class. A large num-ber availed themselves of this opportunityand a very pleasant evening was spent.About nine o'clock President Pritchett arrivedand after greeting some of the upper-classmen present, shook hands with the membersof the Freshman Class.

Later in the evening the president made afew remarks which were warmly applauded.Professor Porter was then introduced andspoke briefly on the work of the Y. M. C. A.in the Institute. Refreshments were servedand shortly after a school yell was given andthe students separated.

IThe Sumatra Expedition.

Boston, Oct. I, -I9o.To the Editors of THE TECH:

GENTLEMEN:

In reply to your invitation to give to THE TECHan account of the results of the M. I. T. EclipseExpedition to Sumatra, I send you the followingbrief summary of events in hope that it may par-tially meet your desires.

The Expedition left New York, February 24th, andarrived at Padang, 'Vest Coast of Sumatra, April 6th.We carried with dus an equipment of astronomicaland geodetic instruinents which was in part theproperty of the Institute and in part a loan fromthe United States Coast Survey and the HarvardCollege Observatory. The whole outfit weighedabout four tons.

There was but orie -transfer of passengers andfreight between New Yobrk and Sumatra. Thistransfer was made at Genoa, where the partytook passage on the Kthingen Regenfes of theNetherlands 'Steamship Cotipany. On the voyageacross the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean andRed Seas and the Indian Ocean, only the briefeststops were made, a few minutes {t Gibraltar, a fewhours at Naples, Port Said, and Peibm, and then atthe next stop we found ourselves in the heart of thetropics, where the "sun at noon right above themast did stand." At Padang we received'a. Iheartywelcome from Dutch officials and the United C'atesconsular agent. The United States Naval ObserVa-tory, the Smithsonian and Lick Observatory parties.were already on hand, having reached Sumatra viaSan Francisco and the Pacific Ocean two daysahead of us. Two English Expeditions and 'a por-tion of the Dutch Expedition came on the samesteamer with ourselves. All these parties begantheir work of preparation at once. Japanese,French, and Russian astronomers arrived severalweeks later.

It was desirable that observers should be scatteredas widely as possible over the available area in orderto decrease the chances of general failure in theevent of clouded skies, and for 'this reason' eachparty picked out a separate station. As the Dutchgovernment very kindly offered free transportationon a railroad connecting Padang with coal mines inthe-interior, the Massachunetts Institute of Tech-

nology Expedition endeavored to show its full, ap-preciation of this courtesy by locating at the end ofthe' line, at Sawah Loento, some one hundred andtwenty miles from Padang.

The time between our arrival and the date of theeclipse was fully occupied by the construction ofbuildings and brick, piers for the different instru-ments.. Labor was cheap, but so Orientally slowthat even a month and a half was not a day toomuch for our preparations. During this month andand a half we realized that Sumatra was one of therainiest spots on the face of the earth, but asit often cleared up at noon over our station, we werehopeful. The long-expected day of the eclipse; Mayx8, 90oI, was not a perfectly clear day at SawahLoento, not such a day as we had been favored within Georgia the year before, nevertheless we were oneof the most fortunate parties on the Island. At thetimes of the four contacts the sky was sufficientlyclear to enable us to determine these with precision.At noon, during totality, which lasted nearly sixminutes, there was a light, filmy cloud between usand the moon. The cloud moved rapidly from westto east. The cloud was so thin that the shapeof the corona could be seen with the naked. eye,and through the large telescope the sun's. promi-nences and the fine polar streamers were dis-tinctly visible. On developing the photographicplates taken with the cameras of eleven feetfocal length, Mr. Harrison W. Smith found that thecloud had interfered little if any with his results.Our corona pictures are a complete success, andphotographs of the region near the sun show manysmall stars. Much of the success is due to themechanism for following the motion of the sundevised by Mr. Smith.

The Institute party was provided with instrumentsfor doing work which was not directly dependent onthe weather, instruments for making magnetic andpendulum observations. The' observations with themagnetometer were made by Mr. George L. Hosmerwith the utmost care, and show disturbances of theneedle during totality. These results have beenforwarded to Professor Bauer of the United StatesCoast Survey, and will soon be published in thejournal of Terrestrial Magnetism.

A determination of the force of gravity was madeat Sawah, Loento, on the week previous -to the

eclipse. This is valuable as furnishing a determina-tion of the force of gravity at a new pointon theearth's equator. Two more pendulum stations weremade at Singapore on our return voyage. Theobject of making these last two stations was to con-nect the work of the Coast Survey half-second pen-dulums which we had in our party, with determina-tions made twenty years ago at the same point witha Kater's pendulum. It is interesting to note thatthis work of twenty years ago was done by PresidentPritchett, then a member of the United States Gov-ernment Party returning from New Zealand, wherethey had been to observe the transit of Venus.These observations of ours at Singapore have donemuch towards connecting and putting on the samebasis gravity determinations made by distinct typesof pendulums in widely different localities.

At the present time Mr. George L. Hosmer iscompleting the circuit of gravity observations byswinging the pendulums at the base station in Wash-ington, D.C.

.So much for the work we set out to accomplish ina scientific line. -Much of interest:--has happenedthat was not in the scientific prospectus which itis pleasant to, recall; "but that is another story."The whole voyage from New York to Genoa, thenceto Sumatra, via the Suez Canal, thence to Java,Singapore; Hong Kong, Shanghai, Japan, Honolulu,San Francisco and Buffalo, was a thoroughly enjoy-able one for every member of the party. All werewell during the entire' six months. Our threemonths under the equator are remembered with asmuch pleasure as any part of our travels. We areall' of us one day older than if we had remained athome, on account of our circumnavigation of theworld from west to east, but aside from this no mem-ber of the party shows any ill effect from the trip.It is needless to- say that it was hot under theequator, but every one in the United States thistlyear has experienced days and nights fully as tryingto one's constitution as any that we passed through.We dressed in the thin white tropical costume of thColonial Dutch, and lived on the Malay diet of ricewhich has proved to be the salvation of those whodwell in those torrid climes. That all went sosmoothly under the strange and foreign conditions' in,which we found ourselves, is due largely to -the factthat a native Hollander, Mr. Gerard H. Matthes of

$

the class of '95 'was a'member of the expedition.In addition to acting as interpreter he was of invalu-able assistance at all times. .

As a result of our late experiences we have learnedthat if it is true that the sun never sets on Britishsoil, it is also true that the sun is always shining onsome alumnus of the Tech. We expected to meetthe alumni at Genoa, Japan, and the SandwichIslands, but Wve were' surprised to be 'aken in handat Shanghai by Mr. Murray Warner of '92, who withone of his mandarin friends showed us over the oldChinese town.

ALFRED E. BURTON.

Undergraduates and The Tech.

In such an institution as Technology inwhich most of the work is technical andengineering in its character, it should be re-membered that there are other sides to a broadeducation besides the attainment of skill andknowledge in simply engineering work.Some time ago a noted railway man gave alecture before the Civil Engineering Society,and.in the course of the lecture he said of theTech graduate that he had three failings:that in general he could not write legibly,that he could not spell well, and that hecould not form a correct English sentence.While this remark was made partly humor-ously, yet there is a great deal of truth under-lying it. It is here, in the Institute, that theopportunities offered for improvement inthese deficiencies should be made use of.Among the opportunities offered, work onundergraduate publications is of importance,And of undergraduate publications,'there will,be no disputing, THE TECH is preieminent forjournalistic practice. It has then, if the workis conscientiously performed, a value in thatit offers a chance for constant practice incomposition,-something which is much tobe desired.. The management of THE TECH

wishes to impress upon the members of the,two lower classes the opportunity which isthus presented, and to urge upon the membersof these classes to respond to this call credit-

ably. The editor-in-chief will be glad tomeet anyone wishing to try for THE TECH

staff at his regular office hours, or any others,at THE TECHi office.

The Football Outlook.

'Indications point to a very promising andsuccessful season for the Technology Foot-ball Team of I90Io. Not only are several oflast year's team back to play their. old posi-tions, but many new men have been out forpractice, and the work being done on IrvingtonOval every afternoon seems encouraging.Mr. F. J. Crolius, who brought out such an ex-cellent team last year has again been engagedto take charge of the coaching. The prac-tice so far has-been light, intended only toget the men into condition for hard work thisweek.

.Of last vear's team Capt. Hooker will takecare of one end and Pope, Barry and Woodare out to try their old positions as half-backs. Metcalf, who did such splendidwork until injured, is in excellent condition,'and will play full-back, while Hunter willcontinue his former position at center.Quarter-back and most of the line positionsare open to competition, but some goodmaterial has shown up, and taking it all inall, the team should give an excellent accountof itself.

Manager Cook has arranged the followingschedule for this season. Accounts of thegame will be given in T TECH as they areplayed.

gommulcat1ons.To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:

May I, through your columns, call attention to thework of the Hare and Hounds Club. The clubholds runs of five to eight miles in length on Satur-day afternoons, in the country about Boston. Theobject of the runs is healthy exercise; not greatspeed.

Both the captain and the trainer .of the Tech-nology Track Team indorse the work of the club anddesire that all men who intend to try for long ormiddle distance events next spring shall attend theruns regularly. The value of such work as a founda-tion for athletic training is shown whenever Englishathletes compete with Americans. The Englishmenwho have done cross-country work regularly foryears may be beaten in the dashes and field eventsbut it is very seldom that they fail to capture thelonger runs on the track.

The Hare and Hounds runs are not, however, forthe athletes alone, as many of our runners take nopart in the regular meets. Of the nine men whofinished enough runs to win the club emblem lastyear only three competed in the spring games.

On behalf of the Club I wish to invite every able-bodied man in the Institute to come out for as manyof the runs as possible. Men who have never hadexperience in this work are urged to come out for thefirst runs as these will be shorter and slower thanthose later on.

The Trials of a Freshman as Told by aFreshman.

EDITOR'S NoTE.' [We print the following article just as it wassubmitted to us.]

I wonder if everyone is affected the same waythat I was when I went to my first recitation inAlgebra; After considerable trouble I managed tofind the room, where the fatal struggle was to takeplace. Softly and in awe of the professor sittingupright in his chair at the front of the room, I stolein and slid quickly into the nearest seal.' Shortlyafter, the recitation began and the professor in lowgruff tones asked us to come forward and show ourregistration cards. Now it so happened, fortunately,I thought:then, but unfortunately as I found later,

that'when I'reached the room, the back seat in thecOrner nearest the door Was unoccupied and intothat I had. crept. 'But unfortunately that seat wastoo far away for me to hear a word that the professorsaid. However on seeing the others start forward,off I started, too, not knowing why. On reachingthe desk I very quickly found out it was our registra-tion cards that were wanted. Now unfortunately, Ihad worn a different suit on the day I 'received myregistration 'card and had forgotten to change thecard; so there I stood, the professor glaring at.. meand wondering why I stood so mum and without mycard. All the while I was trying to murmur, " I leftit at home." Finally he seemed to catch'the lastword,'" Home," he exclaimed, " well what are youup here for?" "Didn't you hear me say, if you-haven't it with you bring it next time? " Withsunken head I start for my seat which unfortunately,-this time, was- away off in the corner of the roomnearest the door; finally, it seemed ages before Igot there, I reached it. Then the lesson commenced.It had been assigned on a general bulletin whichunfortunately I had not seen.' However I soonfound, out from the fellow ahead of me that it was onlogarithms. For the second -and last time in thathour I considered myself lucky. Here was mystrong point,, but I found much to my sorrow thathere, too, was my weak point.

"Brown, define a logarithm of a number," growledthe professor. Brown couldn't define it to suit him,and neither could the next man nor the next, and ateach time the fellows all became more 'excited.This was visibly augmented by numerous questions

7

questions and defining a logarithm of a number eachand every member of the class went under. Thenthe round of the section was started with anotherquestion which was finally answered by the fellownext to me, So the next question must come to me.Now I had been unable to hear anything spoken bythe professor up to this time but could only guess atwhat was said by the several fellows trying to answerthe questions. Then came the question, (I foundout what it-was -later) " What is the number of which3A is the logarithm ?" "I can't hear," I murmured.He evidently didn't hear me, for he said "What's-that," and I, thinking he said, "Can't you," said"No sir." I knew something was wrong for every-one laughed, the professor excepted, of course. Thenoccurred the following dialogue, I answering hisquestions by "Yes" and "No, sir," as I thoughtthey ought to be answered. Many of them I foundout after were wrong.

"Can't you hear me?" "No, sir.""What is the number of which 3.- is the logarithm ?""No, sir?""Are you deaf ?" "No, sir? ""Didn't you hear me?" "Yes, sir."

"Then answer the question." "No, sir."

Then angrily "Sit down." I heard this last as litwas said more forcibly than the former ones. I hadnoticed that all the sections were laughing and thatwith the successive questions had so rattled me thatI was so confused I couldn't have told my name if Ihad been asked. I wasn't called on again that hour.

Soon the recitation closed much to my relief, andI found out then what I had done. Meanwhile I amkeeping a wide tract of land between myself andthat professor in the hopes that when he finds me inthe front seat at the next recitation he won't recog-nize me.

HINTS ON HOW TO BE A FRESHMAN.

x "·ci

I/

Ie

I -

-- 1- F

To those who this year are making their entreeupon the little stage called the Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology, and who are to -act their partthereon, THE LOUNGER would fain offer the advicethat, while to be ambitious is'well, to be cautious isbetter, and in a stage filled with phenomena like ourBursar, Spinoza and Janitor John, to say nothing ofTHE LOUNGER and Professor B- rdw- 11, it is well topractice the retiring virtues. To those also, to thosewho will shortly worship at the shrine of the Pro-fessor of Mechanical Drawing and receive inspirationat the hands of the Professor of Freshman Chemistry,THE LOUNGER extends the most cordial hand-shakethat it is possible to give.

It is now more than four months since THELOUNGER lay down his pen, and it is with a feeling ofsadness that he now takes it up. True it is that theInstitute has prospered in many ways during thatseason, and that it has grown prodigiously this yearin numbers. Can it, however, be forgotten even forone ephemeral second that we have lost from amongus C. 14. L. N. Bernard and Corporal Bailey? Quan-titatively we have gained undoubtedly, but quali-tatively? The Institute will seem to those who havedwelt in the glory of the sun-burst personality of thefirst and the mellifluousness of the secnd, hardlylike the Institute- of old. There is one reassumingnote, however in the fact that, with all necessaryapologies, THE LOUNGER is still on deck, and thatTHE 'FECH is still given away for an economic ex-change of two dollars.

As Tech enters upon the season of misery andtorment designated in the catalogue--as the schoolyear, THE LOUNGER would seize time by his hoarybeard and uncover a few mysteries for the benefit ofthe C seeking Freshman.

The first matter requiring explanation is that thetable in Roger's Corridor upon which small bookswere displayed on the opening day, was the Y. M. C. A.Information Bureau. The individuals stationed be-hind the table should technically be termed informers.

The above mentioned books may be used for thekeeping of accounts, and as a handy place for Co-op

tickets. THE LOUNGER would suggest that there isno necessity for entering the fact that two dollarswas expended for Freehand Charlie's Letter Plates.The Freshman will probably remimber that.

The "Cage" in the farther end of the corridor isnot essentially a repository for hats. Other articles,such as drill suits, may be left there. The use of theterm "Cage" is unfortunate. It should have beenreserved for that portion of the secretary's office, bestconnected in the student's consciousness with thedate October ioth. (No remuneration is expectedfor this adv).

By the way, in case an upper-class man can bepersuaded to part with the drill suit of his youthfuldays, if he should chance to remark that it is second-handed, pay due respect to his age and experience.

The Freshman should evince no surprise at theinscription over the Chapel door. If the words"Brunswick Exchange" were inscribed in Greekcharacters it might appear more classical; howeverthe student is just as welcome. Prayer-books maybe obtained at Mac's and Ridler's. Searles' isgenerally conceded to be the better, but Allen's hasone advantage in being cheaper.

Since the immortal occasion when the chief execu-tive of the Y. M. C. A. received a letter addressed:John Smith, President Mass. Inst. of Technology,Boston, THE LOUNGER has naturally felt even morethan the usual respect for that in3titution. When,on October 2nd, he entered Rogers: and saw in thecorridor the Y. M. C. A. table covered with many andvarious things he made haste to obtain from thereone of those little books of which the Freshmanasks "Do you give these away?" Such was themanner in which THE LOUNGER became acquaintedwith the following extract from this cyclopedia ofexact knowledge which is furnished for the benefit ofthe unsophisticated:

1902.

Semi-annual Exams. begin Feb. i i, 1902.Second term begins Feb. I .Annual Exams. begin March 27.Degrees conferred, School ends June io.Just how far such information is of living value is

not for THE LOUNGER to explain. But surely theprospect of the semi-annnal examinations begin-ning the same day as the second term, and thatFebruary iith, and, further, the indication that thefinal examinations commence March 27th, wouldrather lead one to suspect that the second term, thisyear will be, to put it mildly, a cinch. In comparisonwith this regime at Tech, life at that casino for theyoung across the Charles, must be grinding indeed.It has been suggested to THE LOUNGER by a Phariseethat the Y. M. C. A. printer must, like many others,attend chapel, but this THE LOUNGER regards as abase slander.
