Rogersstates that the society will this yeartry to be of service as a go-betweenin attempting to fill any vacanciesthat are found with Institute men.

Today at two o'clock the societywill leave from the main entrance ofbuilding five for a trip to the Atlanticworks-ship yards in East Bostonwhere a. new constructional idea isbeing tried in barge building. Thebarges are being constructed -with abackbone of ten inch channel iron.The society will also take its annualfall trip to Lawley's ship yard at Ne-ponset at some later date.

Chemical WarfareCompany First Of

Kind In Country(In connection with the establish-

ment of a Chemical Warfare Compa-ny at the Institute, the following arti-cle, Captain Thomas Phillips, C. W. S.,describes the company and explainsits purpose.)

With the approval of the AdjutantGeneral of the Army, the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology this yearattains the first R. O. T. C. ChemicalWarfare Company in the UnitedStates.

The entering freshmen in thecourses V, X, X-A, and XV-3 are reg-istered in a separate company knownas the Chemical Warfare Company,which is attached to the Infantry bat-talion.

The purpose of the formation of thiscompany is to provide Infantry drillduring the first term of freshmandrill, and to have a demonstrationunlit during the second term. Thecompany will partiiepate in ChemicalWarfare drill, and will fire the dem-onstration problems with the Stokesmortar grenades, candles, etc., for theregular Chemical Warfare Basic,Course, and for the Advanced Course.

The officers of the company arechosen from members of the ChemicalWarfare Advanced Unit, the sergeantsfrom Sophomores from the abovenamed four courses who desire to par-ticipate in freshman drill and who in-tend to continue with the basic unitin the spring term, and the corporalswill be chosen from members of thefreshmnan class who exhibit the properproficiency. The work of this companyis particularly interesting on accountof the variety of weapons with whichit is trained, and also on account ofthe opportunity to fire the 'variousproblems which will be presented toit in the spring term.

There are still vacancies for ser.geants as guides and section chiefs,and the Officer in Charge of the Chem-ical Warfare Unit desires all Sopho-mores of the four Chemical coursesnamed who desire to participate inthis drill to see him in his office atIthe earliest opportunity.

FOR MAYOR OF BOSTONYielding to the representations of a

committee representing some of -themore intelligent citizens of Boston,who have appealed to him as the onlyman of influence in Boston not alreadya candidate for Mayor, the Loungerhas decided to throw his 1918 Stetsonin the mobbed ring in an effort to re-lieve the situation. At present thereare sixteen contestants including theScandinavian and if the number keepsgrowing with equal rapidity, theLounger feels that his friends at M. I.T. and several of the citizens of Bos-ton will constitute a majority sufficientto elect. You see everybody else willbe running.

It is incumbent upon him at thistime to state at least a few planks inhis platform. (Note the abundance ofconstructive policies).

L. As the people's candidate andthe representative of oppressed stu-dents it is his purpose to endeavor toalleviate the restrictions which nowsurround them. He promises to allowno anti-vice campaigns in Back Bay,feeling asured that the wholesomenessand purity of those living there is sul-lied by such procedure.

2. Abolition of the Hendricks Club,Tammany Club, Democratic City Com-mittee, and Good Government Asso-ciation. In their place he would sub-stitute the XXI Century Club with itspi evisionl and tremendous endurance.I-e would make THE TECH the offi-cial civic newspaper because of its ac-curacy, continuity, and conservatism.

3. Abolition of the Boston Elevatedand the establishment of a street rail-way system which will actually carrypassengers. Some of the Lounger'srivals are proposing various ways toimprove the service, but the Loungerdoes not believe in feeding medicineto a corpse. He proposes a systemthat will have a five cent fare acrossHarvard Bridge.

4. He promises to relieve the freightcongestion by allowing musical showsto appear in Boston as they do in NewtYork. He promises to make nospeeches on the opening night of Poly-annla plays. The official Boston cen-sors he promises to deliver over toHighball John for homeopathic treat-ment. He says "Art for Art's sake,"rather than Art for the Mayor's polit-ical aggrandizement.

5. He holds for civic beauty; there-fore he is for fewer and better co-edsat the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology. It is his purpose to havethe State House dome polished onceeach week and tobacco chewing abol-ished in the legislative chambers.

6. Appointment of Technology mento fill all city offices.. They would besuch a good beginning for the beauti-fication campaign. Anyway, Jim Cur-ley puts in his friends-why shouldn'tthe Lounger ?

7. Annexation under the Bostoncharter of all Greater Boston, especial-ly Cambridge. Then "Boston Tech"would not be an anachronism.

Above are the several great cardinalpoints of civic management that -theLounger avows. He solicits your voteand will be glad to meet you and per-sonally talk the campaign over. (Don'tforget your Listerine).

ALL TECHNOLOGY SMOKER

,DVICE, more advice, and still more advice! Get this instruct-Aor and be sure to keep away from that instructor. Go outfor this activity, go out for that aetivity; do :not go oat

f or activities at all. :For three weeks the poor freshman has list-ened to advice in his classes, read it in the publications, and hadit forced -upon him between classes, until he begins to wonder whatit is all about. And yet the upperclassmen cannot understandwhy he is confused and bewilderedl, or why he seems to feel outof place and ill at e ase-a stranger.I

Tonght is the All-Technology Smoker, an undergraduate tra-dition. It is the welcome of the student body to the new-comers.It is their formal acceptance by their fellows. Until today theyhave felt on the outside. Tomorrow they will be on the inside.By their own hearthstone, a real "Tech man." Tonight all Tech-nology will be their host, the faculty, the students and aeeadtivities. Tlhe welcome will be as friendly as it can possiblybe made. May the-se niew mein come as guests, and leave as atrue part of the Institute.

IS FRATERNITY RUSHING A FAILURE ?

AsN HIONEST inquiry into the present status of frushing atTechnology can lead to bult one conclusion. The ]#esentsystem, or more accurately, lack of system, is a near failure,

and in many respects an unmitiggated evil. What is the actualsituation ?

For count number one, the extravagance of the present methodis unwvarrantedl. The majority of: the chapters come back to startrushing some two weeks before the opening of .scho-ol. Aside fromthe fact that the men must payr thec expense of these twvo additionalweeks, mally are forced to give up summer work, thus entailingmnuch additional loss.

For count number two, there is -the interferance with thefreshmen t~aking their entrance examinations. The examinationrooms are mobbed and the unfortunate freshmen whom the fater-nities bit upon as likely material are worried and hornswoggled,that is, "rushed" in a way that could not but be detrimental to thework of their examinations.

F~or count number three there is the utter lack of sportsman-ship in the present simian frenzy to get a man. In some cases itto the unthinking fury of the desire to get men; in other cases it isthe very fury of malignancy. Since it is a free lance propositionwith no checks and no punishments the system is a purely cut-throat proposition with scruples only now and then in evidence.The unlucky freshman is the goat of the whole f arce. He is drawninto an highly artificial and glamorous experience and buff eted toand fro with little chance to form sensible estimates of the f our-year proposition he is geitng into. It is a thoroughly bad way toinitiate a man into college life; it is an altogether thorough wayto warp his perspective. The "sweat box"' and the rooming-up offreshmen are resorted to. There is much mud slinging and some ofthe houses do not -stop at these irregularities. So stands the pres-ent situation.

Will a different plan work any better ? It is doubtful. Inthe Cornell undergraduate newspaper recently appeared an editorialcondemning the rushing agreement that is in force at that school.'The editorial purported to prove that both fraternities and fresh-zmen were unscrupulous in breaking their rushing regulations. The:same situation prevails in practically every other college that at-tempts rushing regulation. -Some years ago a system of delayedrushing was attempted here and it turned out to nbe an ingloriousfailure.

The natural assumption that follows is that in principle some-thing is wrong -with fraternity rushing. It wor ks neithe& when regulated nor when unregulated. It is deleterious~to the freshmnenand expensive to the fraternity. It is the reductio ad Wbsurdumof college activities. Surely it is not an illusion to believe that somehappier, better method could be discovered to obviate the evilsof fraternity rushing as exists regulated or unregulated in Ameri-can colleges.

RESURGENCY IN A MINOR KEY,1-I EE yer(ls, a-to T'chl Nig-ht endled ill a 1lear riot and as a

1r esullt ,steps where taken to lessen its, boistroulsness. The lineof march was!1 cha~no-ed anld the unlder-rladuates brought across

This change is due in. a large mEsure to the lack of success whichtended the two teams last yearthere was not enough material to werant the existence of more than oiteam and here it necessitated havi:.dart of the good men run on one teawhile the other part participatedthe other.

Chuts and Rick Show Promise

When the harriers line up for thEfirst run there will be several familifaces among the missing but these vcancies will be filled from the nE

men and the yearlings of last yesAmong the veterans who have repoed for the hill and dale sport are Ca]Bill Rooney, a familiar figure in Teenology track circles, Don Hooper a:Davidson, mefibers of the Varsitylast season.

Eddie Chute, the captain of tfrosh cinder outfit of last year, a:a former Andover man will ma

hot competition for the other can(dates, as Chute is no novice at tlong-distance running game, havi:been a prominent factor on the freeman cross-country team last fall. Aother prospect who has been showiyup well in the daily runs is MarvRick, national steeple-chase champi(and winner of third place in the Oly:pics in his event. This is Rick's firyear of Varsity competition for Tecnology and he should be a very vanuable man before his allotted thr

years of intercollegiate work are fi!shed.

Schedule Announced

The frosh outfit is shaping up thyear with about 20 men signed up a]prospects for a winning outfit seefair. It is very hard to forecast tlfreshman outfit this early as they aall untried in collegiate running a]although some of them may have seeral years of prep school competiti(tucked under their belt, they mewith such different conditions thmany upsets occur.

yards. This test will be conducted bythe swimming instructor at the Hunt-ington Y. M. C. A., and anyone wish-ing to take it must first obtain aphysically fit ticket from the Depart-ment of Hygiene. The test occursOctober 13th at 5 P. M.

Anyone desiring to row, who can-not swim, may arrange for swimminglessons with the swimming instructorat the Y. M. C. A., 316 HuntingtonAve. The swimming test is not ex-ceedingly difficult, and yet a man thatcan only swim a few strokes will notbe allowed to pass. The test is pri-marily for the purpose of finding outif a man is capable of taking care ofhimself if thrown into the water. Aman that has been rowing a hardrace has to be a fairly good swimmerto save himself if thrown in the waterin such an exhausted condition.

Soccer Team HasGame Scheduled

With All ChinesePlay Saturday Afternoon On

Tech Field for FirstGame of Year

'Soccer will get under way at theInstitute when the Deaver Team meetsthe All Star Chinese Team on Satur-day afternoon at Tech Field. Capt.Arana wants all of the candidates tobe out for this game as they will pro-bably be given a chance to show theirstuff. It will be the first game of theseason and should give a fair line onhow lthe team will stack up this year.A week from Saturday the Beaverkickers meet New Hampshire Statein the intercollegate lid lifter, and theAll Chinese tfray should provide agood workout in preparation for thisgame.

Two full teams were out for prac-tice Wednesday night permitting agood practice workout and scrimmage.Plenty of pep was shiown and that isthe thing most needed now is to ironout the rough spots and produce asmooth working machine. Tzhe teamis not developed to a very high pointjust yet, but that will come alongbetter after a few more workouts.

,Captain ffirana -announces thatpractice will be held next Tuesdaynight instead of Monlday, as Mondayis a holiday. The team is still beingrun without a coach although ManagerW~hitnew has a man in view. Theabsence of a coach at the beginning ofthe year is going to be felt by theteam, as several of last years menhave been lost to the team, and acoach is really necessary to developthe ne w candidates . 'The loss of Bate-man, Sacco, aund particularly Ruiz,high point scorer last year, will beseriously felt, but when a coach isobtained the new men should rapidly

[be groomed to -fll the places of themen lost to the team.

CREW MEN MUST PASSSWIMMING EXAM NOWOwing to the large number of acci-

dents occurring recently resultingfrom the [increased popularity of row-ing, all men going out f or crew mustdemonstrate their ability to swim 50

Clintock and Hallohan all look goodat the present writing, but to pick anymen out of the yearling outfit andsay definitely that they are better thansome others is well nigh an impos-sibility, until after several meetshave been run.

Manager Jackson of the Varsityteam has arranged the followingschedule:

Oct. 24-University of New Hamp-shire at Durham.

Oct. 30-Harvard at Cambridge.Nov. 7-Brown at Franklin Park.Nov. 16-N. HE:. L. C. C. at Franklin

Cortlanld Park, New York.

This schedule is identically thesame as that of the freshmen with theexception that the frosh are run-ning freshman teams from the othercolleges.

FIRST ROUND MATCHESTO FINISH THIS NOON

On account of the inclement weatherer which prevailed during the firsttwo days of this week, the entries inthe tennis tournament were unableto play off their first round matchesand hence the entire tournament hasbeen set back several days behindschedule. The management requeststhat each match be played off assoon as possible by the -contestants,in order to avoid any more delay.

As yet there have been no phen-omenal upsets in the matches withall of the favorites coming throughas expected. However it is a -bitearly in -the tournament for any darkhorse to crop out and show his colors.This morning is the latest opportunitywhich any of the men {have of playingoff their round matches, as this noonthe lists will 'be checked up by thetennis manager, A. J. Connell '27.

With four Sophomores on the Var-sity crew this year, much can be saidfor the work of Bill Haines in develop-ing inexperienced men quickly. Last

t year these men that are now gettinga tryout in -the Varsity shell werewithout experience, save for the littlethey had done in prep school. Afteronly a year under the Institute men-

L tor they step into the Varsity shell,and have a good chance to stay therefor the remainder of the season. Co-lumbia appreciated this faculty ofHaines' and asked him to try and whiptheir crews into some sort of shapefor the Poughkeepsie regatta.

While Os Hedlund has not all themen that he wants out for track thisyear, Coach Connors is in still a worsefix for field event candidates. Thereseems to be a scarcity of heavy mencoming out for the weight eventsthis year, and few candidates for thejumping events. If success is to at-tend this branch of track, there shouldbe five to ten men out for every event,men that come out regularly andwork.

The loss of Coach Danguy will befelt by the fencing team this season.Danguy knew his sport from the bot-tom up and had the skill to impart itto the men that came out for fencing.One of his best pupils was Joe Levis,whom he groomed so carefully thatthe Intercollegiate title was broughtback to Technology.

An observer might think that theSoph football team was in much bet-ter shape than the frosh if he watchedthe two teams out practicing. Whilethe Soph coaches are putting the menthrough a snappy signal drill andpractice formations, Shotts is stillforcing the monotony of conditioningand the fundamentals on his pupils.The writer seems to feel that the froshteam which appears so backward intheir training at the present time mayspring a surprise when Field Day rollsaround. The hard work they are go-ing through now will harden them per-fectly, while the Sophs will have for-feited condition for perfection in sig-nals. It will be interesting at leaston Field Day to notice which systemwins.

If the frosh could only realize thatthe turning point of this Field is prob-ably the tug of war, perhaps theywould come out and practice. TheSophs have had a year's practice un-der the best coaches in the country illcrew and track, practice which it ishardly possible that the fresh canovercome. These two events countonly six points together. The froshfootball team, if they work hard andget out for practice has a fine chanceof coming through with a win. If thefrosh then can capture the tug of war,they have Seven points and a victoryon Field Day. Both these last twoevents can be won if the frosh comeout and do some work, but not other-wise.

PIGSKIN WARRIORSPREPARE FOR GAME

Freshman Coaches Drop Hints

Of Dark Horses That

Will Star

Out on the gridiron from fouro'clock until dark, are the aspirantsfor the two lower class football teams,preparing for the big game on FieldDay. From every outside appearancethe Sophs seem to have every edge onthe yearlings. The weight, experi-ence, speed, and number of the for-mer slightly outshade the frosh, butCoach Dyer claims to have some darkhorses on the yearling squad, whichmay upset the proverbial dope bucket.Both teams have been fighting hardthe past week and the spirit of thefrosh is not to be underestimated.

Manager Seavey of the Sophomorespromulgated the following lineup:ends: White, Parkes and Larson;tackles: Luby and Dean; guards:Bartlett, Rutherford, and Abbey; cen-ter: Wofford; backs: Capt. Gray, Ri-ley, Sealy, Kelly, Benson, Proctor,Blackwood, and Wilson. This is byno means a final lineup, as it may benecessary to make many changes asthe days progress.

Coach Shotts of the yearlings hasnot announced the freshhen lineupyet as the freshmen are on edge dueto the keen competitioll, but undoubt-edly the dopesters will have a big sur-prise when the teams take to the fieldon Class Day.

The fighting spirit of the respectiveteams is growing every day and itwon't be long before the spirit of eachteam will be at its highest pitch. Prac-tice of both teams during the weekconsisted of pullting, passing, tacklingthe dummy, and light scrimmages.Practice is held on the field inside ofthe track every afternoon at fouro'clock for both teams.

Harriers Encounter University Of NewHampshire In Seasons Opener

Although it is a bit early in the season to forecast with any-degree of aecuracy the calibre o! the cross-eountry team, if thepresent outlook is any criterion, this year's outfit will be one of thebest aggregation of hill and dalers to represent the Cardinal andGray in recent years. Coach Hedlund has a large squad out everyafternoon, rapidly rounding into condition for the first meet whichis with the University of New Hampshire at Durham on the 24th-of this month. This year a different plan will be followed than wasused last year, namely that instead of maintaining a hill team -anda level team, the entire squad will be striving for positions on oneteam alone.

"The successful men in college do not seem to be very happy. Mostof them. especially the athletes, are overworked." Prof. H. S. Canby, Yale.

"Misdirected labor, though honest and well intentioned, may lead tonaught. Among the most important things for the student to learn is howto study. Without knowledge of this his labor may be largely in vain."Prof. G. F. Swain, M.I.T.

"To students who have never learnt 'How to Study,' work is very oftena chastisement, a flagellation, and an insuperable obstacle to contentment."Prof. A. Inglis, Harvard.

"HOW TO STUDY" will show you how to avoid all misdirected effort.
