110 Options ReturnedThe majority of the loss was due to

the return of one hundred and ten op-tions following the sudden change oforchestra one week before the dance.This resulted in the immediate loss oftwo hundred and seventy-five dollars,although most of those returning op-tions would have redeemed themrather than suffer a complete lossafter the shift in plans was madepublic-

LIVEAX D LEARN

EATHERP medal for Committees this sea-son goes to the Interfraternity Confer-

eonce Dance Committee. Although it is reported

that the $3.75 deficit will be reduced not only

by $100 to be made up by the committee itself,

but by $200 that has just turned up from rain

insurance, this leaves around $75 to be shared

among the fraternities. Although this is less

than thle $275 they had expected to have to

pay, it is none the less quite large.

Just who is to blame is debatable, but it

stands to reason that the committee could

Ihave been more careful. The hundred or

more men who demanded their money back

after buying options would not have done so

if the orchestra had not been changed, and

the orcllestra would not have been changed if

an air-tight contract had been signed in the

irst place.

Perhaps the committee merely got the bad

breaks, but it appears that they were never

albsolui;ely sure whaft was going to happen.

Alost plans entail a certain amount of uncer-

tainty, but some people don't seem to realize

how careful one should be with other people's

money.

PEACE MEETINGADVOCATES BOYCOTT

LAME-DUCKSHAVE SNTO PLACE IN THE INST. COMM.

HERE are reputedly various ways inwhich Peace for thie United States may

be sought. The Collective Security mrethod

entails active participation in sanctions, either

military or financial, while the other is based

upon non-intervention and neutrality. There

is a great deal to be said for either side, and

it was interesting to watch the formation of

an all Technology Peace organization to dis-

cuss the situation.

It is also interesting to note that the or-ganization has already decided, without anydiscussion or vote on the subject, its stand onthe method of pireserving peace. Perlhalpssome of the organizations that sent deiegates-ill be glad to know thlat a representative

lwho favors the Japanese BoEycott w as sent toa meeting in Eoston for the promotion of thissancltion.

It is true that any of the members had achance to oppose the action, but to send a del-egate witlhout any discussion seenis to haveLeen a fast one.

N EDITORIAL in the last issue of TheTech pointed out that the new Institute

Committee which takes office next week has

before it the taslk of reforming the present in-

effectual Student-Faculty Curriculum Corn-

mittee. The new legislators have before them

still another task, that of eliminating lame-

dlucks from their own group.

Membership on the Institute Committee in-

cludes two representatives and the President

frorrm each class, and the presidents, chainrmen,

or general managers of a selected list of "Class

A" activities. These activities include organi-

zations like the Dormitory Committee which

elects its ofliicers in the late Spring and other

activities likle Voo Doo and The Tech whilich

elect their managinog boards at the close of

the firlst sennester.

Since, under the present atrrangemlent, rep-

resentativ-es retain their seats for the school

year, from September through AMay, a curious

situation arises. The Gene-ral Manager of The

Tech, for instance, although he relinquishes

his position at the end of January, retains his

Institute Committee seat as General Manager

of the publication until tile end of the school

year. Since there is a new The Tech head and

a new Managing Eoard, the former General

Manager usually hlas little contact with the

paper unless lie usurps the powers of the new

leaders. If his function on the Institute Com-

mittee is to represent The Tech, he obviously

cannot lperforni it efficiently after he is no

longer connected with the paper.

The system is unfair, for it means that the

Institute Committee during the second sem-

ester is not entirely composed of active class

representatives and active organization lieads,

as its constitution specifies.

'Why not remedy the situation? Have the

new officers seated in February. Although

only three organizations would be affected by

the rulino-Tile Tech, Voo Doo, and Tech-

nique--it would be of incalculable value tothese three publications as well as promnotingthe efficiency of the legislative body.

If certain difficulties result from this ar-rangemenit, they can be easily corrected. Ifone of thle men affected by the new seating-plan is a member of the Executive Committee,all election can be conducted to fill his vacancy ..Moreover the benefits to be derived from hav-in- a nucleus of at least t'lhree experiencedmen in the new Institute Committee each fallwould outweigh any minor disadvantageswhich might result from1 the new arrange-ment.

How many of these Questions can you Answer?

1. What was the first successful application of reductiongear drive to a large marine vessel?

2. How many kinds of heat are supplied by the "Corox"surface units of a Westinghousc eIectric range?

3. Who introduced the Parsons steam turbine to the UnitedStates?

4. What are the seven major types of rectifiers?

S. What alloy, consisting of non-ferromrragnetic elements,is rnevcrtheless ferromagnetic?

6. What type of power is used on the electrified portionsof the Pennsylvania Railroad? What voltage?

i. What and where wvas the first commercial "repeating"broadcasting station?

8. When were the main rolls of a steel mill electrified forthe first time?

9. What was the first large-scale display of incandescentlighting ever seen?

[0. What is a sterilamp?

John Sexton, '41, threw the javelin180.95 feet to smash the previousfreshman record of 167ft. 3in. madein 1929 by John A. Robertson. PaulDesJardins, varsity captain, turned ina surprise victory in the two mile run,coming in far ahead of the field in 10minutes, 22.6 seconds. As expected,George Clark, '40, who featured thedashes at Bates last Saturday, re-peated first rate performiance in thel0, and 440. He did not run in the220 but his team-mate, Oettinger, '39,took first in that to prevent a com0i-plete freshman sweep in the event.

There's a long list of differences in Camels-extra-mildness-natural taste-the greater pleas-ure I get--the fact that Camels don't give mejittery nerves. I've been smoking Camels over 20years.

Dr. Davis has contributed a greatdeal to the field of chemistry, havingamong his published papers "Histor-yof Chemistry of Alchemy," "ChineseAlchemy," and "Scientific Miethodol-ogy", as well as many papers con-eerning organic chemistry. Amongthe latter are discussions on nitro-gen, urea and the gaanidine series,,complex cyanates and thiocyanates,joxidation of metadiphenols. and as-symetric synthesis. It is in the field:of organic chemistry that he is mostinterested and it is in this work that

he is most widely known.
