honor which has fallen this week toJohn Demo, '35. Demo, a regular

guard on last year's varsity hoopteam and one of the outstanding de-fense men of last year's five was elect-

TECHNIQUE PLANS FORGRADUATE SECTION

IN 1935 PUBLICATION

Nalle, Bush Approve New Plan;Graduates Urged To Sign

For Appointments

In its 1935 issue, Technique is con-

sidering the possibility of running aGraduate section, in which there willbe a picture of the Graduate House,

a description of the Graduate School,

and pictures and biographies of the

Graduate students. The proposal has

been supported by Mr. John M. Nalle,

Placement Officer, and by Dr. Vanne-var Bush, vice-president of the Insti-tute.

Aid in Seeking EmploymentiAmong other advantages, it is

thought that the proposal will be ofgreat aid in the placement of gradu-ates seeking employment. All gradu-ate students are urged to sign up inorder that they may appear in Tech-nique. Signups for picture appoint-ments will be made through the sixhouse representatives in the Dormi-tories and through members of thevarious courses.

INDICATION OF INTEREST

Creation of a fund for the eventualerection of a theatre at Technologywas announced last night whenDramashop offered the proceeds ofthe- three performances of "The Tav-ern" by George M. Cohan on Thurs-day, Friday, and Saturday of thisweek to be used as a nucleus.

It is expected by Dramashop thatthis theatre will be used not only byitself, but by Tech Show, the dramnaoption of E21, the Technology DramaClub, the Musical Clubs, and similarorganizations at the Institute.

Will Replace Other RoomsIn effect it will replace Room 10-250

as a general auditorium, and the Com-mons Room of the Rogers Buildingand Walker Gymnasium for stageproductions.

Although it is not believed byDramashop that the requisite amountfor building a theatre will be immedi-ately forthcoming, this gesture is in-tended to be indicative of interest inthe drama and a need for a suitableplace for dramatic production.

PhysicsHaving nothing better to do we

dropped in on an 8.03 lecture yester-day. That eminent physicist, Prof. F.W. Sears was expounding to his groupof mildly interested Sophomores theeffects of passing a current through acoil of wire. To illustrate his point hecalled attention to a number of looseturns of insulated wire hanging on arod. He explained at length just whythe coils should attract each otherwhen the circuit was closed.

He closed the circuit, and the cel-erity with which the coil jumped ateach other drew the customary laugh-ter from the students. He opened theswitch and closed it again. But noth-ing happened. It seemed he hadblown a fuse. "That shows you theamount of current we use," he declar-ed learnedly. Turning to the switch-

A RECEPTIVE'MOODDEBATING CLUB SPONSORS UNION

I-FiHE case for an open forum to be pat-terned after the famed Oxford and Cam-

bridge Unions in England, demonstrated byTheodore Smith in his letter to the editor, hasbrought to light facts which bear out the needfor such a Union. and has already resulted inaction indicating that the idea has fallen onfertile soil.

As explained in today's Open Forum letter,the Debating Society, realizing that Technol-ogy -students were interested in questions out-side their relatively narrow sphere of under-graduate life, as illustrated by their large at-tendance at meetings such as the one last yearat which Colonel Samuel C. Vestal and Profes-sor Charles F. Taylor discussed war and itsprevention, and the circulation figures on non-fiction books in both Walker and the CentralLibraries, made provsion in its constitution fora forum basically similar to the proposed Tech-nology Union.

With the experience that the Debating Clubhas already had in adapting the idea to thespecialized conditions at Technology, its spon-soring of the combined activities will result ina stronger organization and a more rapid so-lution of problems, chief of which is the inter-ested student's difficulty in sparing an hourfor discussion front an already heavy scheduleof studies and other activities.

OPEN FORUMIn opening its columns to letters addressed

to the Editor, THE TECH does not guarSanteepitblication ao' does it necessarily endorsethe opnions expressed. Ontly signed com-municationzs will be considered. However, ifthe, wi'iter so (desires, only the initials willappea' on publication.

Technology Union and Debating Club

To the Editor of THE TECH:Mv recent communication to your columns on the

subject of a student forum has brought to light a factof which I was unaware and which makes a portionofl my letter inaccurate. One of the articles of theconstitution of the Debating Society provides spe-cifically for the maintenance of such a forum.

I was completely unaware of the existence of thisprovision and in so far as a competition of purposewas indicated by my proposal, I wish publicly towithdraw any such intention.

It does seem to me however, that there is basicallyno ultimate conflict and that the suggestion whichappeared in last Friday's TECH is indeed only an ex-tension of activity already planned by the DebatingSociety.

Thus it would be well, perhaps, to alter my sugges-tion that the "Union" start independently, and makethe student forum contemplated an extension of theDebating Society and bear its name. The DebatingSociety is, of course, an accredited and official activityalready.

The sensible conclusion would seem to be, then, amerging of the two activities-if indeed the merelyproposed Union can be called an activity.

What will be the ultimate nature of the organiza-tion depends on -the nature of the activities engaged

board, Prof. Sears removed the offend.ing fuse, and substituted another froma remote part of the board. Still noresults. He checked the circuit, noth.ing seemed wrong.

That Magic TouchFacing the back row, he remarked,

"Mr. Bradley, will you please get mea 60'amp' fuse, this one doesn't work."The fuse was procured but still thehook-up didn't function. So with afinal despairing survey, ProfessorSears summoned the lot assistant,That worthy took a brief glance atthe apparatus, touched the coil andthrew the switch. The coils jumped atonce. The trouble had been in thecoils themselves; a junction hadn'tbeen securely fastened.

With utmost insouciance, ProfessorSears faced his tittering audience, andremarked, "That's a demonstration ofan important fact I never want youto forget. If you want a flow of cur-rent you must have a closed circuit."

Theme SongFor the benefit of those freshmen

who may not be aware of the fact, thetheme song of the 8.01 and 5.01 lec-tures is not "With My Eyes WideOpen I'm Dreaming."

URtING the Revolutionary War, GeneralWashington, encamped at Cambridge,

conceived the idea of establishing a nationaluniversity to make amends for the damagedone in quartering the militia's horses in Har-vard's donrmitories. Unable, later, when Presi-dent of the United States, to realize his con-ception because of a recalcitrant Congress, heleft in his will fifty shares of Potomac RiverCompany stock for a national university be-cause of a "desire to see young Americans losetheir local prejudices and become citizens ofthe national republic, and a desire to see amore general diffusion of knowledge about thescience of government." Although most ofWashington's successors have advocated theorganization of such an institution, his idealhas remained unrealized.

The recently announced inauguration of theNational Institution of Public Affairs may bethe first step in the eventual establishment ofa national university. This organization, spon-sored by the national administration althoughfinanced by private contributions, will offerin its first session, two months of training inthe practical operation of government withtraveling and living expenses paid to selectedstudents from the various colleges and uni-versities in the United States. The instructionwill consist of apprenticeship to a governmentofficial and observation of the various govern-mental departments and bureaus in action,along with academic study of government inthe abstract. The purpose of the Institutionwill be to train students of promise in publicservice, in accordance with the new trend ofappointing ,experts in political science to im-portant governmental positions.

There are many good reasons why studentsfrom technical'schools should be representedin the group chosen. to take advantage of theopportunity 'the Institution is offering. It isonly in recent.,years that the importance of theengineer in the general policy has come to berealized. Only Sunday, President Roosevelt ex-plressed tihe holpe that eventually all electricpower tlhrouglhout the nation would be gener-ated by governmental agencies. If his wish isrealized. the administrator who is well trainedboth in political and physical science will begreatly in demand.

IFor this reason it would be desirable thatrepresentativres be chosen from Technology tocompete in the final eliminations for the limit-ed numlber of positions in the training school,in accordance with the system for selection.The qualifications set up for candidates, a highsclholastic standing, a demonstrated interestin politics and govergnment, and general goodcllaracter, bar no deserving student, even froma technical institution. One drawback in thepresent plans is that the session of the Insti-tution is to take place during February andMarch of next year, an unfortunate time formost college students and one that should beseriously reconsidered before being definitelyestablished.

The establishment of this organization is a'commendable forward ,steP 'toward: securing'competenit public leadership by organized se-lection and theoretical as well as pratical train-

in by it. The most hopeful truth of the

situation (and can anyone doubt it?)is the tremendous value of public dis-cussion and the fact that we at theInstitute ought to have more oppor-tunity to avail ourselves of it.

It might interest those who are con-vinced of the real practical value ofsuch a forum as the "merger" wouldproduce, to know that several repre-sentative students are planning ameeting which should interest thewhole student body.

Yours sincerely,THEODORE SMITH.

Twenty-seven candidates for t;hevarsity team are workin~g oult thriceweekly. The squad practices at BostonArena between the hours of seven andseven forty-five in the morning, andmiust leave the ice promptly as thearena is rented to other parties from7:45 on.

Yesterday the boys had a shortscrimlmage, the first sincee the squadwas cut last week; but because theseason is only three weeks old and theplayers have yet to reach their peak,Coach Owen has not attempted to anl-nounce his No. 1 sextet.
