Jim Thompson, who run up a total of111/2 points. The versatile sophomorewon first place in the running highjump by clearing the bar at 6 feet.Although this height was high enoughto win the event, Thompson was at notime pressed to win, since he has al-ways comfortably cleared six feet inpractice. In the IC4A's last winter hecleared six feet two inches to tie forfourth. Thomson won other points inthe shot put where he tossed the 16pound ball 41 ft. 2 inches to take sec-ond place.

The occasionIwas the annual banquet of the club,held in its quarters in New York. Mr.Alfred T. Glassett, '20, president ofthe club acted as toastmaster.

Kb anOpen House

Only three more days, and Tech willbe the scene of another eight-hourwalkathon. We mean Open House, ofcourse. The majority of visitors, whodon't know any more about the loca-tion of the various exhibits than thefreshman guides, find to their sorrowthat they can walk farther and seeless at the Institute than anywhereelse. NT^^t that- the e:hibits aren'tworth the exercise. But the job is tofind them. Freshmen guides are, tosay the least, questionable aids.(aides?) We remember when, as aguide, several years ago, we reroutedvisitors down one flight, back a coupleof hundred yards, and up anotherstairway to get to an exhibit that wasjust around the corner from us.

1r72eshm.an AnticsA freshman math class was asked

to sketch a certain equation. Thecurves varied greatly. One young manended up .with what he termed a "twohumped camelloid." Another had a"bird's wing". The curve happened tobe a straight line. Proving that thefreshman class wouldn't look twice atanything less than a sine curve.

In-aitiations

What with Agenda holding their in-itiations and students running aroundwith red noses, and babies' bonnetsand bags (travelling), we are remind-ed of the predicament of a last year'sinitiate. The young man was told toget twco animals larger than a cat butneither dog nor cat. He finally had tobuy two rabbits, as he couldn't bor-row or steal any. Well, after the in-itiation, he kept the critters in hisroom in the dorms, but after the firstday or so, he was afraid to feed them.The porter objected, and besides hewas fastidious himself. So he had todispose of them. We don't know how,but we think the S. P. C. A. was sup-plied with the nucleus of a rabbitry.

"PARADE" TO OPEN ATCOLONIAL

The antics of Huey Long, FatherCoughlin and the rest of the figuresof contemporary history will supplythe laughs for the Theatre Guild'snew revue "Parade" which is sched.uled to open at the Colonial Theatreon May 6.

The new satirical revue, which willremain for two weeks before movingdirectly to New York, was written byGeorge Sklar and Paul Peters, co-authors of the now famous "Steve-dore", seen by more than 200,000 per-sons during its long run in the BigCity.

Jimmy Savo, master of pantomime,is one of the principals,,while JeromeMoross, a newcomer, has written themusical score. The play is a satiricalpicturization of all the phases of theNew Deal.

SYMPHONY HALL'>Ted Shawn and his men dancers will

give one performance only on Fri-day, May 3. Of the 15 dances, all buttwo are new, presented for the firsttime this season. This unusual groupfeatures ballet dancing in which threeare no feminine players. There aredances based on the origin of danc-ing, religious motifs, dance as laborand play, and finally the dance as artform.

The second half of the programopens with the first of the play danceswith music by Prokofieff, Shawn'sfamous dance of the Cretan priest be-fore the Snake Goddess, a Flamencodance (Ferruca Triana, from a manu-script secured in Spain last year), andthree American Folk Themes.

Concluding are dances based onmusic by Beethoven, Bach, and arhapsody of Brahms.

In democracies, today's minoritiesare often tomorrow's majorities.

HALLS OF FAME

Professors, in general, have been raked over theproverbial coals since the beginning of time for theirshort-comings, whether they be excusable or not. Thestudent paper at the University of Washington, inSeattle, made a survey of the campus anid then nomi-nated for its Hall of Fame, professors who:

Can fire facts, uninteresting as they may be, at theirclasses without putting them to sleep.

Gain student interest by plunging their classes intospirited discussions of the League of Nations, tariffs,the relative merits of Shakesueare and Johnson. orany other subject which they are studying.

Wear polka-dot tow ties on Tuesdays and Thursdaysand knit ties on the other three days.

Find it unnecessary to take roll because they maketheir classes too interesting and valuable to miss.

Stimulate thinkirng instead of sixth grade memoriz-ing.

Tell jokes no older than the earliest Mae West gags.Give tests oftener than two or three times a quarter.Have read something on their subject since 1928.Realize spring with its canoe-days has arrived with-

out reading about it in the weather reports.Illustrate their lectures with incidents which hap-

pesned (1) in states other than their home state; (2)to children other than their own; and (3) sometimeafter 1910.

Speaking for the professors, we would nominate tothe Hall of Fame students who:

Can stay awake and show at least a slight interestin their courses, even if they do not intend to use themin their life's work.

Are well enough read in current events and practicaleconomics to carry on a conversation of average in-te!! i oh nc.

Wear something besides dirty sweatshirts and cordsand shave and comb their hair at least once a day.

Prepare their work from day to day and do notdepend on others for their assignments.

Realize that even though spring is here, they mustput in at least a reasonable amount of work.

Contribute something to the course besides what isread in a textbook or heard in a lecture.

Take enough pains to make an examination paperat least readable.

Schedule courses because they wish to learn aboutthe subjects, rather than because the courses are re-quired.

THE TECH

WHAT YOU CAN'T DO TODAYEXAMS, GLOOM, AND PRESCRIPTIONS

S PRING is definitely here, students areS growing definitely drowsier in class, tennisoames and bull sessions are becotrnin. definie-ly more difficult to avoid, but something has tospoil it all. Just one little word in any conver-sation is enough to spread gloom: "Exams".

For those who prefer to concentrate theirworries into the shortest time, there is onegood way of preparing for finals. That is to letthe days slip by, continue to yawn in class, andabout a night or two before the fatal week ciis-cover that concentrated cramming is in order.The result is generally disastrous. One can'tface a nexam paper with any decree of com-posure having worked his eyes bleary overtextbooks and notes the night previous.

For those who prefer to gain a maximum ofreturn on their efforts between now and thelast exam, there is another popular method ofpreparation, which, unfortunately, is not over-worked. It is the example from which musthave originated the notion that every effectiveremedy must be distasteful. It is simple, butrequires, to put it mildly, Promethean self-discipline. The Romans had a phrase for itwhen they said: "Carpe Diem." The up-to-datebusiness man would put it: "Do it now."

Far be it from The Tech to hand out pre-scriptions for the well-known malady, whichmight be called cramania,. afflicting studentswho-lhave-ten-weeks-work-to-do-in-three. Theeditors might be put in the position of swal-lowing their own medicine. They might not beable to take it. But it is good to remind our-selves at this time of year, even if for nothingmore than the satisfaction of reminding our-selves, that a taking account of stock, a liningup of what work we have to do, and makinga schedule for the coming weeks, is not merelydesirable: it is a good idea.

BEFOGGED ISSUESTHREAT OF WAR

1 UCH comment has found its way into thelAl nation's undergraduate press concern-ing the recent anti-war strike. M3any conflict-ing views have been presented, ranging fromthose of Lhe alarmist patriots, who feel thatthe student's attitude is entirely wrongs tothose of the students of alleged Communisticleaninas. The issue is necessarily fogged bythe absence of any immediate war. No matterhow clearly the student body has made up itsmind regarding its actions in the event of war,when war comes, intellectual equanimity willgive way to emotional instability.

There exists in the minds of the studentstoday no solution to the question: 'How canwe prevent war?" or "I-Iow can we stop itwshen it comes?" And these are questions\which cannot be answered by one group in anyculture, simply because they involve the wholeof society. But what students can do is attaina group solidarity of opinion on the problem.Their opinions effectively expressed can exerta considerable force in time of crises. Theeffectiveness of that expression of sentimentis conditioned to a large extent by the calm-ness and rationally with which the student's"attack" on war is carried on. It is unfortunatethat the new Generation which arrives at thecollege age at a time when international peaceis threatened should be faced with a problemwhich it did not create, and which threatensits future security and welfare. Clear think-ing, is, -however, the best means of arriving ata solution.

Forster, Dick Smith, and Winiarski,were helpless at the bat, while theTech hurling was on the spotty side.The Lowell team, one of the best inthhis section, was quick to take ad-vantage of all -scoring opportunitiesand built up a commanding lead earlyin the game.'The feature of the con-test was a home run over the schoolbuilding in left field by Louis Athanas,Textile basketball captain last winter.

Class Game TodayThe Collegians have no more games

listed until next Tuesday, when theyclash with the Boston University Jay-vees. The days between now and thattime will be spent in practices and in-terclass games.

Sixty-five entires in the dorm tennis tournament stand as evidence thatthe interest in the net game is at a high pitch in the dorms. We are informedthat the number of entrants is a new record for the tourney. Cliffr Lytle isseeded number one, with Jack Silverman, the number two man.

The experts were inclined to predict that Tech would not finishsecond to Harvard in the Greater Boston Intercollegiate track meet,but Oscar Hedlund's trackmen came through in fine style to cop thesecond position. It was a foregone conclusion that the Crimsonwould annex first honors; the real battle was for the runner-up place.Jim Thomson continued to add to his achievements of the past winterseason by being Tech's high individual scorer in the competitionFriday and Saturday.

Although the baseball team got off to an extremely inauspicious start onSaturday, it snapped out of its hitting lethargy yesterday and actually outhitits opponents. Red Forster pitched a very fine game and deserved to be re-turned an easy winner, but his infield cracked wide open on him. Half of thebingles that were charged up against him were of the scratch variety. TheCollegians hit the ball hard and often yesterday in contrast to their inabilityat the bat in the Lowell game. The drive that Dick Smith hit over the fenceat Harvard was the high spot of the contest. It would have been a home runin any park and in any league. After the game the Harvard coach was heardto express himself very favorably in regard to Dick's batting prowess, for inaddition to the four base clout, Smith knocked out two more hard clean hits,and was robbed of a fourth bingle.

We note that there is a comparative abundance of sports on theOpen House program this year. Last year the athletic attractionsfor visitors consisted entirely of exhibitions by various teams. NextSaturday the lacrosse team has a home game, the Tech crews areentered in the races on the Charles, and last but bv no means least,the forces of Hedlund will meet Bates at the Tech Field.

cuse journey here to face Harvard andTech in a colorful quadrangular meet.All four schools will compete in theVarsity, Jayvee, and Freshman races,but Syracuse will not be representedin the 150 pound class.

Judging by last week's results, Techfans can only hope for a win in theVarsity race. The crew was handicap-ped by a last-minute shake-up, butHaines will be back at stroke thisweek, and the cres should go well.The other three crews will have toshow a great improvement if they areto overcome either their powerfulNew York rivals or Harvard.

Collegians LoseFirst Two Games

Dick Smith Makes Three Hits,One A Long Home Run,

At Harvard

After losing a very one-sided gameon Saturday to Lowell Textile, theCambridge Collegians, unofficial Techbaseball team, journeyed over to Har-vard yesterday and, despite the veryable hurling of Bob Forster, were de-feated by the Crimson Jayvees. Lowellwon the Saturday contest by a 19-0count, and yesterday's score was 14-8.

The Collegians, led by Dick Smith,exhibited plenty of power at bat inthe Harvard game. The Tech playersbanged out thirteen hits, almost allof them being clean hard-hit drives.Dick Smith, batting in the numberthree position, slammed out three finehits, a single, a two-bagger, and aRuthian home run. The homer clear-ed the left field fence with plenty tospare and scored Don Kenny, who wason base at the time.

Forster Twirls WelliForster, on the mound for the Col-

legians, twirled well enough to easilywin his ball game but his infield wasguilty of atrocious support. The Techlacrosse captain also helped his caust-along by getting a hit.

Captain Flood, playing No. 3 wasthe low medalist with 76. He playedin the foursome with Ozol, No. 4, whoshot a 79 to win his point also. To-gether, they won one point for lowball in the foursome, thus getting allof Tech's three points.

These were Tech's only three points,since Herb Goodwin at No. 1 andNorm Copeland, playing his firstmatch, lost their individual and four-some points. The scoring is unusualbecause the Beavers' No. 3 and 4 menunderscored the No. 1 and 2 men.Tech's next match is with Tufts onWednesday, May 1.

IThts column endeavors to solicit

student opinion upon selected ques-tions. A reporter interviews stud entsat random, in making his Irounxdsabout the Institute. Questions for thiscolumn may be submitted by readers.Open Forum comment on any of theanswers will be welcomed.

"Do qyou think that students shouldbe allowed the use of Institute tenniscourQts free of charge?"

Mitchell A. Sieminski, '36, V, Dormi-tories:"By all means. The Institute makes

it a point to stress athletic activity asa means of maintaining the bodilyhealth of its students. Why, then,shouldn't the students be allowed freeaccess to all athletic facilities?"

William H. Austin, '37, HI-4, 45 ChildSt.:"Because of the small revenue de-

rived, it might be just as cheap forthe Institute to allow the free use ofthe courts, and save the expense ofa man to collect tickets as it nowdoes."

Charles R. Holman, '36, X, BelmontSt, Norwood:"I believe that it would cause an

undesirable condition of overcrowding.Who would check up on whether theusers were actually students? I thinkthat the rates are very reasonable asthey are.'

Rufus Isaacs, '36, IX-B, Dormitories:"Uh-huh."

William E. Eaton, Jr., '38, VI, Dormi-tories:"With so few courts available, a

charge is necessary to avoid conges-tion. More courts are suggested andperhaps a smaller charge."

Edwin R. Millen, '35, VI-C, Dormi-tories:

;1 ~"Not necessarily. All schools havecharges of some sort. But outsidersshould be restricted more or at leastcharged a higher rate. It is oftendifficult to sign up courts ahead oftime as school work call not be pre-arranged. As a result, outsiders oftenhave courts at the only time theycabe used by students."

Leonard B. Chandler, '36, X, 8 Web-ster St., Winchester:"There will have to) be definite limi-

tations on the time allotted to eachstudent. Such a scheme will not prove

_successfuL'

-Lester M. White, Jr., '37, X, Dormi-tories:"I think that the payment of one's

tuition should entitle one to the useof all the Institute's facilities."
