As a guide to civilian conduct in a military situation,_ Dean John,W. M. Bunker, Chairman of the Institute's Safety. Conmnittee, lastnight issued the following notice: . .

"Now that armed troops are on guard duty at the InsCtitate, it isessential that all members of the Staff, employees, students andvisitors of the Institute comply precisely with all military regula-tions. There can be no exemption from.this obligation.

".Adequate protection may on occasion. cause temporary incon-venience to the individual, but it is a patriotic duty to ignore per-sonal inconvenience and cheerfully comply with war-time require-ments.

"Sentries have the responsibility of challenging any person whoseintentions are in doubt. It is the duty of anyone who is challengedto halt and to await instructions of the sentry before proceeding.A sentry may require that credentials or identification be shownand if not satisfied may order a person to proceed to Military Head-quarters for further investigation by an officer of the guard.

"Obey the orders of the sentry without argument, and adjust laterany matter that is not satisfactory.

About forty Army and Navyofficers connected with the Insti-tute attended a smoker held in theHobby Shop last Tuesday eveningat 5 :00, P.M. The smoker was heldto introduce these service men tothe facilities offered by the shopand to offer them the use of itwhile they are stationed at Tech-nology.

Several members of the shop con-ducted work to exhibit' the opera-tion of the milling machine, theglass blowing equipment, the hobbyshop press, and the other activities.Also present were many facultymembers including ProfessorsJames Ri. Jack, Ernst A. Hauser,Major Arthur D. Caswell, Mr.Walter C. Wood and Mrs. Arthur C:.Watson. Coff ee and doughnutswere served to all.

During the course of the smokera pair of genuine brass ear ringswere presented to Robert P. Rich-mond, 143, representative of TheTECHI, by Warren B. DeLano, '44.These were given as the prizeoffered by the Hobby Shop to theperson who revealed the method ofoperation of the perpetual motionmachine exhibited in the MainLobby of Building 10 last week.

Swimtmers NeedReplacemenlts ForMen -Lost Recently

"The varsity swimming team

should be arranged so that each

man has only to swim in one event

in each meet," said Captain Bill

Denhard of the Varsity swimming

team yesterday. This he went on

to explain is impossible With the

few men which are now out for

swimmng. Many of the men on

the team are swimming in two or

more events in each meet.

Coach John J. Jarosh said thathe knew that there were many men

in she Institute who swam on both

the varsity and freshman teams

last year who could help the team

out greatly now. The team is now

in a very desperate position having

lost many of its best men for vari-

ous reasons.

After tomorrow's meet withBrooklyn there are still three regu-

lar meets and the New England

Intercollegiate Championships inl

which men coming out now can still

compete. The team needs these

men to replace the men which they

have lost who include Ted Thomaswho broke the Institute 100 yardfreestyle record several weeks ago,and who has since then left theInstitute. Several members of theteam are also out due to illness,the most oultstanding of which wasPhil O'Neil stellar distance man.The team has also lost its divingcoach Henry M~acnamara who yes-terday joined the Marnes.

Coach Gordon Smith mentionedthat since P.T. has been abolishedpractically no freshmen except theactual skeleton of the team havebeen coming out for swimming, andreminds all freshmen that swim-ming is the best and most health-ful type of exercise. He said thatswimming gives a person the typeof muscle which is the best forhealth, that is a long supple one.

Befuddled FroshCompiles Datk

H~ell Weeks UnearthsAmazing Revelations|On Tech Courses

An age, it has been said, wouldMnot be time enough to do allthat there is to be done on1 thisearth. It would not, it seems, evenbe time enough to take all theicourses that the Institute has tooffer. For by actual computation,it would take 89.47 years for oneman to take every course offeredthis year.

Figured out under forced draftby some poor freshman during hellweek, anid verified with the nlewbulletin, the results, due to slighterrors in the collection of data andthe large personal error factor,may be considered accurate onlytwo significant figures. Upon in-vestigation it turned out that thehell week computation was donebetween the hours of 4:00 and 5:00A.M. at a table in Walton's restau-rant, -Scollay Square, and that-theso-called verification was doneabout the same hour yesterdaymorning at a desk in Wood 606.

But accurate or not, the implica-tions of the figures are staggering.It would mean that, if you hadstarted yesterday, you would re-ceive your degree of Master ofBrown Bagging sometime in theyear 2031.

Just think! The year 2031.Roosevelt would just be beginninghis twenty-third term. Mrs. Roose-velt would just have completedwriting the 27,857th issue of "MyDay". Mexico, at the rate of oneevery fall and one every spring,would be in the midst of her 178threvolution.

According to a noted crewauthority, the previous springwould have seen the 356th Techvictory over a Harvard shell. Theabove report, however, is subject tocensorship at the source and thereis good reason to believe that theprediction may not be entirely'un-biased.

George M. Musgrave, 143, andPhillip J. Bendt, '43, became thefirst varsity debaters ever to defeatBoston College in the history of theInstitute's competition with thatcollege. Last Wednesday afternoonthey downed them on the subject:"Resolved that the Federal G;overn-menl should control by law alllabor unions in the United States."They had the affirmative.

This was the debating team'sninth win in the last ten meets.Musgrave was chosen by the judge,Reverend Geisen, as the best de-bater in the meet and Bendt waschosen as second best above theirBoston College competitors.

Yesterday afternoon, however,the debating squad made a lessspectacular showing against Tuftson the subject of "Resolved thatthe United States should enter intoa permanent union with GreatBritain." The Technology men, JackL. Uretsky, 145, and John R. Taft,'44, took the affirmative and werebettered by Tufts, although Uret-sky was chosen a second speaker.

T. C. A. Boys WorkJoins 25 Colleges-In Social Council

Coordination PlannedFor Good Of AR SocialWork Organizations

All college organizations of socialworkers have been united into one

group, through the efforts of the

T.C.A. Boys' Work Division. At a

meeting held on February 7 at

Phillips Brooks House in Cambridge,

representatives from 25 colleges in

Boston and vicinity agreed to pooltheir efforts in the new Boston Col-

legiate Council of Social Workers.

Sid F. Atlas, '43, Director of the

T.C.A. Boys' Work Division, ex-

pressed his belief that the work

under this new system will be far

more effective than it formerly was,

when. each small group tried to

accomplish its work without con-ferring and cooperating with othersengaged in the same effort. He em-phasized the fact that most of thecolleges represented are girls'schools, and that frequent get-togethers are planned so that thesocial workers may become betteracquainted with each other andwith, their work.

To Sthnulate Interest

"We want to make boys' work andgirls' work more than just a job,"said Atlas, "we want to make it agood enjoyable recreational activityfor all concerned, and we feel thatthe co-ed nature of our new organi-zation will be very helpful in ac-complishing tlsis."

In order to stimulate interestamong college students, Atlas, as-sisted by Stanley B. Roboff, WendellDavis, and Lewis H. Geyer, all ofthe Class of 1943, plans to speak atassemblies in local colleges, explain-ing the nature of the new council,and its activity. The first get-together of the Council of SocialWorkers is to be held on WednesdaysFebruary 25, in Room 1-190, atwhich time the delegates will heara talk on social work by ProfessorF. Alexander Magoun, and see somefilms shown by Walter C. Wood,Master of the Senior House.

The T.C.A. intends to pay theCouncil's expenses for the firstyear, but officers are to be electedby popular vote as soon as possible.It is expected that the Council willbe self-supporting by next-year. Atthe present time, approximately 100Technology students alone are en-gaged in boys' work, and there isplenty of room for any others whoare interested.

"A .4's Harvardlsees Harvard" might be title of aletter full of most revealing in-formation written by a HarvardSenior to the Editor of the Crimson.3We quote:

"Throughout the academic yearthe daily physical work of a (Har-vard) student consists, on the aver-age, of walking a few blocks, push-ing a pen across paper for severalhours, and, in times of emergency,turning the pages of a book. Tosupply the amount of energy neededto perform that work they havebeen stuffing their faces with tre-mendous quantities of food anddrink. The result has been anappalling increase in the girth-rate.At present there is so much excessweight on the typical Harvardframe that if all the men in thecollege were laid end to end, theresu~ts would be utterly repulsive."

. . . Needless to saythe editor of the Crimson does notreceive such neat and precise anl-lthropological studies of Harvardmen for no reason whatsoever.Indeed for the past week Harvardhas been in a state of turmoil, allcentering around a newly intro-duced Dining Hall ruling that therewill be no second helpings, and thatthere will be extra charges "formilk and other beverages."

The magnitude of the contro-versial reaction against the DiningHall ruling, which it appears wasIoriginally prompted by a rise infood prices, may only be judged byIthe fact that a heated radio debatehas already been held on this sub-ject, and that the Harvard StudentCouncil has appointed a specialIcommittee to investigate the foodsituation at the University. Thecorrespondent quoted above aloneclaims realism and impartialitywhen he also writes: "With visionsIbefore me of the day when Har-

She's twenty-four, congenial, andinterested in -Tecmnology men, ac-cording to your reporter who inter-viewed Miss EBetty Furness justafter she finished a star perform-ance -in I'my Sister Eileen" nowplaying at the Wilbur Theatre.After'spending eight full weeksplaying before Boston audienceswhich no doubt have included manyTechnology men Miss Furness com-mented that she liked Hub audi-ences very much. At present re-hearsing for a new play, Miss Fur-ness will not be in Boston muchlonger as she and the rest of hercompany are leaving Boston whencethey will head south to Baltimore,Washington, and Philadelphia.

Tech Men Not New

When Miss Furness visits Tech-nology this afternoon as the guestof the Junior Prom Committee, shewill come with a genuine interestin Tech men as her father, GeorgeFurness, graduated from the In-stitute way back ill 1906 when theschool was over on Boylston Street.F~or the benefit of Course VIII, hewon his degree for his work onphysics, and he is now manager ofUnion Carbide and Carbon, resid-ing in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Betty, though, did not follow inher fathler's footsteps by attendingTechnology. She entered the Ben-nett School and then went to workas a Powers model for John Powers,the New York photographer. Some-Itime later she was given a screentest by RKO who immediately of-fered her a contract which she ac-cepted. During the course of herscreen career, she was also undercontract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,but has since returned tLo the legiti-mate stage which she prefers.

During her career she has playedin numerous summer stock com-panies and although she has noparticular plans she would like verymuch to lead a Broadway hit. Whileshe admitted that she might like togo back to the screen sometime,Miss Furness wants to learn fromthe stage first where, says theyoung veteran, work is much moreexacting.

The Absentminded Professor

A young instructor of the De-partment of Mathematics strodeinto his M22 class one day this Iweek, and proceeded to dash off theday's assignment on the board, asis his custom. Presently his stu-dents began to realize that all wasnot well in the State of Denmark.There was something suspiciouslyunfamiliar about these problems,even to that great majority whohad yet to crack the textbook.

The boys began to murmuramong themselves, but the instruc-tor stuck grimly to his task. Pres-ently he sensed the tension in theair, and decided to investigate.

rOmigawsh, now he knew, he hadbeen doing M12 problems for anM22 class! Oh well, a little reviewLever did anyone any harm.

'Mumps To YouEvery one at the Institute and

especially the glee club are verysorry to hear the news from Haver-hill that the Beautiful Blondes ofBradford are quarantined with themumps. The glee club has had tocall off its concert with them to-night. Here's hoping that they areall better in time for the JuniorProm.

Early BirdThere is another story of a fresh-

man trying out for Voo Doo, wholast Wednesday night went up tothat publication's office andpatiently waited all evening onlyto find that he was twenty-fourhours early for the make-upsession.

... Cyclotronexperimenters at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, California,have reported the isolation of anunstable form of Element No. 61,only missing item in the list ofelemental substances in the Uni-verse, according to the AssociatedCollegiate Press.

The Radioactive form of No. 61was produced by bombarding a mix-ture of rare earths with atomicbullets in the cyclotron- The work-is being done by Dr. E3milio Segre,one of the co-discoverers of ele-ments 43 and 85, and Dr. ChienShiung-wu, a -young woman NuclearPhysicist.

The Place for element No. 61 hasalways been empty in the Periodictable of elements, and it has so farnever been discovered in nature,although its name had beendecided upon as Illinium. It is oneof the rare earth metals, being inthe same general category asAluminum.

The troops on guard duty have a particularly difficult jobmade more difficult by the continual coming and going of In-stitute Staff, students, and visitors. Some of their demands mayseem unwise at the moment, but it is the responsibility- of thestudent to comply with these demands in spite of his opinion ofthem.

It is one of the little tests of a country at war that its peopleshall obey the rules formulated by the officials who know what isbest for the general welfare. Already, the student body hassacrificed some of its peace time privileges; it must continue tocooperate as ungrudgingly as it has in the past.

LEARN HOW TO STUDY

The Class of 1945 is evidently not interested in knowinghow to study. This would be the inference drawn by any ob-server who witnessed the poor turnout of freshmen at the firstof the series of "How To Study" lectures being currently de-livered by Professor Magoun. An even dozen was present at theopening session last Monday; not many more were on hand whenthat lecture was repeated yesterday.

After their first hectic semester at the Institute, freshmenmay well appreciate the benefits to be derived from a thoroughknowledge of how to study and from an organized applicationof that knowledge. It is this information that the StudentFaculty Conmmittee, sponsor of the series, is trying to convey tothose who probably need it most;. At a crucial moment likethe present, when a student's power of concentration and in-terest in his studies is noticeably reduced by the "it-doesn't-matter-anyhow" attitude peculiar to a warring nation, a coursein studying will improve the student's efficiency and ambition.

We recommend that the members of the Class of 1945 takea more enthusiastic interest in the "How To Study') lectures andtake advantage of the aid which is being off ered to them. 'Whatthey learn now will be of value to them for at least three yearsto come.

PAPER SHO>RTAGE

A serious paper shortage faces the United States, and Tech-nology students continue to write on only one side of theirhomework papers. In some instances it is the request of theprofessor, in others, the idiosyncrasy of the student that causessuch a situation to exist.

If one student could conserve 500 sheets of paper in oneyear by using both sides, the entire Institulte of approximately3,000 students could conserve 1',500,000 sheets, a considerablesavings in the light of the seriousness of the situation.

In the interests of patriotism, certain members of the facultycould change their practise of accepting only one-sided home-work papers, and certain students could put away their eccen-tricities for the duration in an attempt to conserve paper.

Bette Davis gives us some more ofher excellent acting; while AnnSheridan comes through with ashowing that definitely surpassesany of her previous attempts.Opening in Boston yesterday at theMetropolitan Theatre, "The ManWho Came To Dinner" definitelyrates a triple integral.

... an addition to the numerousBoston cocktail lounges will be

made with the opening of a new

spot at the Hotel, Fensgate in thenear future. Rumors of a ninetycent per drink minimum, amongothers, have come to the ears ofyour columnists, but full inlforma-tiOll is still unobtainable. So far,plans indicate that the new,'SatireRoom" will open coincident with

the Junior Prom.

. . . highlight of the weekend byway of social entertainment is theformal Dormitory Dinner Dance.Featuring the music of Don Gahanwhose vocals will be carried by theThree Flufferettes, the dance is tobe conducted in true night clubstyle-complete with floor show.Rumors have it that ballroom danc-ing, in the Hartmann style, will bethe main attraction with a jugglingact and vocal specialties also onthe agenda.

. . . after a two year theatre runon Broadway, "The Man Who CameTo Dinner" now is making thecinema rounds. Breaking its pre-cedent of hashing hit plays, Holly-wood has succeeded in producing acinematic version of this play thatis a hit in its own right. If any-

thing, the picture is more amusing.

International MeetScheduled WithMcGill University

Gym And Rifle TeamsWillL Cross The BorderTo Open Competitionl

Through the cooperation of theCanadian Government and GeorgeAnderson, '42, Technology's G~ymand Rifle teams will cross theborder to compete with McGill Uni-versity on Sat., Feb. 20. This is thefirst time that McGill has venturedinto intercollegiate competition inthese two fields.

The Rifle match is unique, inas-much as McGill uses silhouette tar-gets and a differenlt type rifle. Toovercome the difficulty an unusualarrangement has been made. One-half of each the school's teams willfire with its own rifles at their tar-gets. Then the other half will usethe opponent's rifles, and fire at histype target. The men representingTechnology are Gannon, Terry,Garrett, Woodworth, Adams, Wies-enthal, and Captain J. T. Barker.

With Jack Whelan still unable toplay, and Red Dolan suffering froman ankle injury received during theB.U. encounter, Coach Henry Mc-Carthy will send a considerably re-vised quintet onto the floor againstthe Bates cagers when they invadethe Hangar Gym tonight. Despitethe weakened lineup the Beaverswill be fighting hard to maintainthe perfect record they have setthis year on the home floor. Therewill be no preliminary contest, andthe game will get under way at8:00 P.M.

The starting lineup will probablyconsist of George Marakas andJerry Coe at the forward spots,Cal Taft at the pivot, and CaptainErnie Artz and James Woodburn inthe guard slots. Coach JimmyDeAngelis, initial Bobcat quintetwill probably be composed of Boyanand LaRochelle at the forward posi-tions, Wight at center, and Josselynand Card at guard. Norm Boyanhas led much of the visitors' scoringthis season, and will be the man

Lounger(Continued from Page 2)

Here's a not so good pun theLounger heard in one of his moreadvanced classes the other day.ordinarily it would not be deemedworthy of print. In fact, ordinarilythe Lounger doesn't print puns ofany sort. However, the circum-stances greatly altered its value,and all present when it was firstpronounced were sent into gales oflaughter-r whatever.

Main reason for its humor is theperson who authored it. Ordinarilyhe never says anything. He's oneof those fellows who sit very quietlyand peacefully through every class,never having a word to say to any-one about anything.

At the time of the action of ourlittle drama, our hero, together withseventeen other suff ering souls wassitting through one. of those classeswhere the prof puts a long list offormulae on the board. The mainthing that was boring the, groupwas the fact that these formulaewere of the "thus it will easilybe seen"' kind. The professor, a verydiligent sort of man, who takes hiswork very seriously was full. of de-rive this, and derive that, and soforth, wThen the soft voice of ourshy little friend piped up from theseat beside us: "A two hundredyard derive maybe."

Wrestling(Continued from Page 8)

Adams; Herb Boshnet in the 136pound class; John McCreary whowill wrestle in the 165 pound divi-sion; and Calptainl Bud Schuman,who wrestles at 155 pounds. Theremainder of the Maroon lineupwill probably consist of LawrenceHartman in the 128 lb. class, LyleGray in the 145 lb. class, Karl Kurthin the 175 class, and Jim LinebergerIn the heavyweight divisions..

When they go onto the mat theTech grapplers will be out toachieve better results than they didin last years match, which resultedin a 29-3 win for Springfield. Threeof last year's bouts were lost on onepoint decisions, but this year thetide may turn in the Beavers' favor,Bob Fettes and Hugh Byfleld, whowere defeated in one point decisionmatches last year, will bie back toavenge their defeats, and mayeasily turn the trick.

Frosh to WinThe frosh squad will be out to

repeat the performance of lastyear's outfit,.which wound up anundefeated season by whipping theMaroon yearlings 28-8. The lineupfor the frosh team will be: 121, for-feit; 128, Murchison; 136, Mayne; II

The Varsity squash team met itsfirst defeat in three meets, at thehands of the Harvard Club lastWednesday, on Harvard's court.

The match was well-fought andclosely contested. For a while itappeared that- Technology wouldwin, when our first two men scoredvictories. However, three consecu-tive defeats turned the tables. Ourline-up was: No. l man, Sheetz,who won; No. 2 man, Louis Stouse,who also woI1; No. 3, Carl A. Trexel,Jr.; No. 4 man, Johnl Barry, andNo. 5 man, Hahn.

Captain Sheetz and Louis Stousewill compete in the Inter-CollegiateTournament which is scheduled forFebruary at Yale University, NewHaven. This annual meet bringsthe top notchers together in a threeday contest, anld it is hoped thatTechnology's men 'will fare well.
