Editor The Tech.

A fine example of one of the bad phases of studentgovernment is the Institute Committee's action inthreatening to wvithdlaw recognition of the CombinedProfessional Societies. A little shift of emphasis fromdestruction to rehabilitation might lead to more workand less political prestige for the Institute Committeemembers, but it might also do some good to under-graduate affairs at Technology.

The purpose of the Combined Professional Societiesis "to promote general interest in professional societiesand in their purposes, to bring the officers of the vari-ous societies into close contact for the exchange ofideas and cooperation on matters pertaining to thesocieties."

It has been charged that the C.P.S. is not fulfillingits purpose. It may be that the charge is in largemeasure true, that the C.P.S. is at present somnolent;but that is no reason for killing the organization. TheC.P.S. has a good and useful function, and if it is notentirely performing that function it is to be com-miserated with and helped, not destroyed. The C.P.S.wvas at one time among the most active of Technologyrundel graduate activities, and if left alone may yetregain its former standing.

According to the report of the Institute Committeemeeting published by The Tech, one member of theCommittee asked why it was necessary for the C.P.S.to have representation on the Institute Committee.The enlquirer might better have paused and asked him-self what necessity it was that placed him in such anaugust position. If it is necessary for the fifty manstaff of The Tech or the three hundred members of thea :15 Club to be represented on the Institute Committee,then certainly it is necessary for the thousand mem-bers and fifteen member societies of the CombinedProfessional Societies tc be represented.

Very truly yours,S. L. COHEN.

Editor, Trhe Tech:

WNe don't belies-e it! If it cost the Institute $4ato clean up the red paint, we believe that they musthave bought nlew lenses, or something on that order.It is beyond our humble mental powers (I.Q. 155) tobelieve that the Institute's financial policy as regardsexpenditures is the same as regards collectionsand tuition r ates. However, w ere it otherw ise, thejob would have cost about one gallon of turpentille.Could you itemize the expenditures or at least giveus a rough idea as to wthy it cost so much? The regularInstitute grounldsmnen receiv e no extra pay for suchwvorkl and their supplies must contain some turpen-tine, cloth or steel wool, and a little "elbow grease."

Furthermore, wve think it was a good, harmlessprank, and we xvish more such would be done.

Yours unbelievingly,

"The Goblin"

more weighty factor. T.E.N. challengedthe students to be honest, and they naturallyrose to the challenge. If, conversely, T.E.N.had challenged the students to swipe themagazines, that august temple of scientificjournalism would probably have lost quite afew shekels.

However this nifty little advertisingscheme would only work among people inwhom the element of dare is more importantthan the element of money-that is, amongthe middle and upper classes. It wouldn'tbe wise for T.E.N. to try its "We TrustYou" policy among people more needy thanInstitute students.

49~W-;W_= 4iB VOLLUnpenetratin£g Impression

Of course he can't sap for sure, bua lot of the girls at the dorm dance inNorth Hall last Saturday night lookedto the sub-lounger like a bunch of repressed personalities, so he decided todo a little investigating, and found, tohis dismay, irrefutable evidence of thisfact. Of course you've all seen the bustof someone or other in the FacultyRoom near the corridor to North Hall,but how many of you have noticed thethin but competent coat of lipstick onthe lips of the bust? The lipsticklooked to our investigator of oscula-tion like the imprint of the lips of atall red-head seen wandering throughthe faculty room with a tall, thin, in-sipid freshman in tow... but hewouldn't be sure.

Forbearance

Every Professor knowvs the typethe man eho comes to class only whenthe mood strikes him, or by mistake.He is an exasperating. sort of cuss, butafter having met a few of him theprofessor sometimes resigns himselfto the inevitable and doesn't bothermuch any more, except to take it outon the dope in the quizzes. ProfessorSloan has evidently acquired such aviewpoint.

The class dias Applied Mechanics."Jones," says the Prof., 'how wouldyou do the problem?" Jones, not be-ing present, says nothing. "What!"says Sloan, "Aren't you here againtoday, Jones?" Still Jones remainssilent. "All right, Jones," says theProf., "You don't have to answer."

Information, Please

This happened some time ago.It seems that there is a habit, in

the T.C.A., of making the freshmanrecruits do all the stooging about theoffice. They run errands and lickstamps. And hang around the officewaiting to run errands and lickstamps.

So, at last, the Secretary bustled upto a particular Freshman, handed hima drinking glass of the genus Walker,and said "Get a glass of water, or areasonable facsimile thereof."

"Where?" said the Freshman withhis most innocentist look.

"In the John," said the Secretary.The Freshman blushed.

THE READER SPEAKS

ILLEGAL TUB-THUMPING

"Any organization appearing before thepublic as an M.I.T. undergraduate organiza-tion must first be granted this privilege by atwo-thirds vote of the Institute Committee."Thus is the ruling of the Institute Commnit-tee's Constitution. Violations of this rulingare neither frequent or important.

Last week, however, a leaflet was circu-lated on the campus, a leaflet issued by "theM.I.T. Branch of the Young CommunistLeague." That is a direct violation of therulingc, quoted above, and a very importantviolation.

It is the violation of the spirit of the lawwhich is important. That law was designedto prevent minority groups from giving tothe public a false impression of Institutestudent opinion.

The violation is yet more important be-cause the sentiments expressed by the leafletmn question are just the rabble-rousing, tub-thumping, non-constructive ones whichshould not be submitted to the public of thiscountry at this time. It is propaganda de-signed to create a belligerent, unreason-mg,emotional frame of mind in its readers; andexpresses just such a frame of mind in itswriters.

Furthermore, and more practically, it isthis sort of verbal chest-pounding which,when publicized as student opinion, willarouse the emotional, unreasoning attitude ofmind in our legislators and so bring themdown, causelessly, on our necks.

If such has not been already so done, thismatter should be brough1t to the active at-tention of the Executive Committee of theInstitute Committee, and to the authoritiesof the Institute; and a recurrence of inci-dents such as this one made a more remotepossibility.

A DOUBLE-DARE

PI-ople are funny animals. If an object issurrounded with barbed wire fences andpolicemen to keep the populace out, the im-mediate reaction is that almost everybodywill go through Hades and high water toget at it- just to see if le can. On the othe-hand, if that very same object is placed in aconspicuously undefended spot and no at-tempt made to safeguard it, the very samepeople will behave in a most highly moralmanner.

This ancient and mossy fact was demon-strated again last week, when T.E.N. placedits last issue on sale with no one to force pay-ment save the conscience of the buyers, withthe result that 96.1 per cent of the buyerswere matter-of-factly honest.

This scheme of T.E.N. was not really atest of ,the honesty of Institute students,since the'element of challenge was easily the

Feature Of BoxingTourney Is Fast

FightingBoxing Lasts 2 Days Before

Five Champs AxeCrowned

After two days of fast fighting andmany bouts the All-Tech BoxingTournament was completed last Satur-day evening with a great measure ofsuccess, according to Coach ThomasRawson. However, the number of par-ticipants in the competition was ratherdisappointing, but this will doubtlessencourage more entries for next year'stournament.

Seven Rifle Team Gains FourthPosition In New Englands

Shootinlg a meager 1305 last Friday|afternoon in the New England CollegelRifle Intercollegiates at New London,|the Technology marksmen took fourth

L-|York University, Yale and West Point.l Their score in this four position matchaljwas only 1789.

l ~~Heymann Starss|Since the team had defeated New

Y |\ork University and Coast Guardl|twice during its season, this showingslwas not as good as had been expected.llThe only high point was Seymour E.IHeymann's score of 366 in the

births result in the death of themother, or one mother out of everylhundred families. Authorities claim|that at least seventy-five percent of

L these deaths are unnecessary, beingcaused by public indifference andlignorance of prenatal care. Accordinglto these statistics, five or six Seniors|will lose their wives at childbirth.|Instruction on this phase of mar-

Iriage is just as important in a schoollsuch as Technology as in a women's|college because oxl the husband's prom-inent role and responsibility in pre-lnatal care. Records show that eachlInstitute graduate will have 2.3 chil-|dren, so the problem is one which will|have to be solved by the majority ofjTechnology students.

'|Prevention Stressed|The greatest task in front of au-

|thorities at the present time is that|of overcoming the tendency for peopleto seek advice on a subject only after|something has gone wrong. The prob-lem is one of prevention rather than|correction, and it is essential that|people know what they wvill have to|face so that they can prepare to meet|the situation squarely.lThe pictures to be shown Thursday

;are sponsored by the American Com-|mittee on Maternal Welfare. This|committee, a medical organization, is|raking a drive to educate the public|about prenatal care in an effort to cut|down the appalling death rate. Ac-|cording to those in charge of the mar-lriage lectures, this will be the first|time that pictures on this subject will|have been shown in a New Eng-land|school, although they have been used|in many of the Midwest colleges.

|Janney Prominent Authority

|Dr. Janney, who 'will be in charge|of the question and answver period, is|the most prominent authority on pre-|natal care in the Newv England Dis-Itrict. He is one of the moving spirits|in the Marriage Study Association ofBostoll, wshich is establishing a manual
