Woll, '37 A WORTHY CAUSE N VEW of the consderable success whch has so far attended the Class of '34's effort to create a worthwhle gft to the nsttute, the establshment of a szable sum s practcally assured. t may be pertnent at ths tme to pont out what fnal shape the gft wll assume.

The commttee n charge has been -wse, we thnk, n not makng an mmedate decson as to what wll be done wth the accumulated sum. Condtons may, and probably wll, change radcally n a quarter of a century. Technology wll undoubtedly not have the same needs that she has today, and t s well that no attempt has been made to te strngs to the gft at such an early date. t can be defntely stated, however, that the money wll not go nto the general operatng fund of the nsttute but wll ;be put to some purpose such as establshng a seres of scholarshps or helpng to buld a new track house, both of whch possbltes have been already suggested. LET TH ERE BE LGHT GHT, t appears, s at last comng to LTechnology. Not a physcal lght such as the members of the Physcs Department examne wth ther lttle gadgets, but a fant glow of nterest n somethng at whch the average Amercan student has always looked wth horror and suspcon, controversal poltcal and socal ssues. Ths paper f eels that an actve curosty towards these lberal, or radcal problems, dependng on one's pont of vew, are an ndcaton of vtalty and ntatve on the campus. The -present school year has wtnessed the brth of two -new organzatons, and the rebrth of a thrd among the actvtes of the nsttute, namely: The Modern Trends Symposums, the Natonal Student League, and the Debatng Socety. Of course, the characterstcs of these organzatons dffer wdely, but each has for ts underlyng purpose the dscusson of curtrent problems-local, natonal, and nternatonal. The "Modern Trends Symposumns" had ts ncepton some weeks ago, wth a small group of upperclassmen who, deplorng the fact that ther contact wth the cultural departments of the nsttute ends wth ther Sophomore year, banded together for the purpose of learnng more about world condtons, especally European. Professor rederck K. Morrs, a man who has an abundant knowledge of world hstory, and who has had much drect contact wth many types of people all over the world, was asked to lead the frst symposums. That he has done a good job, and that students really are nterested, s attested by the fact that the orgnal group of sx has expanded to sxty. The Natonal Student League has just been formed by a group representng all classes. t s, of course, a student branch of the natonal organzaton. ts general polcy s to nterest students n the dscusson of such causes as the movements aganst war and fascsm. Ths year, a small body of freshmen reorganzed the defunct debatng socety. n spte of an almost complete lack of encouragement (there were exactly four undergraduates present at ther last debate), the team, wth no professonal coachng, has been vctorous n all ts attempts, defeatng two college groups whch have pad coaches gvng courses n debatng. Thus, n the formaton of these organzatons, have some Technology students shown that they are not wllng to reman a part of the tradton that "Technology men. are engneers" and nothng else. RED H ERR NG THE proposal that Technology, Harvard, Tand Radclff e be taxed on ther property was recently made by the Cambrdge School Commttee to Mayor Russell and the Cty Councl. Ths suggeston has cropped up frequently n the past, and now that the cty's fnancal status s at a low ebb, the red herrng s agan dragged across the educatonal path. Not havng a poltcal leg to stand on, n makng ths proposal, the school commttee makes the "request" that the unverstes contrbute the amount whch would be demanded f unversty property were taxable. The colleges comprse a large part of Cambrdge property, and the contenton s, no doubt, that f ths property were not used f or educatonal nsttutons, and were thus taxable, t would yeld somethng tangble n the way of help to the cty's pocketbook. How much the land now used by the unverstes would be worth f t were -not used for educatonal purposes s a matter of speculaton, but t s most certanly true that the unverstes have made Cambrdge what t s. Not only has the presence of the unverstes enhanced the value of real estate n resdental sectons; t has created resdental sectons where there would have been none. More than creatng prestge, whch also has cash value, the nstructng staffs and undergraduate populaton of these communtes of learnng have poured substantal sums nto the pockets of the cty's resdents and merchants. Before the foundng of the nsttute the cty of Cambrdge requested that the proposed college choose a locaton n the cty and changed the plans of streets whch had prevously been lad out n order to make room for Technology. t seems strange that the cty authortes have so drastcally changed ther atttude. The amount Technology would donate to the cty's funds from taxes on ts property of $,000,000, at $35 per thousand, would total approxmately one-sxth of the nsttute's yearly ncome. n vew of the fact that by charter, n accordance wth the Amercan tradton, the unverstes are specfcally exempt from taxaton, t does not seem that the colleges wll be wllng to make the donaton. Asde from the local aspects of the stuaton educatonal nsttutons n any case should be free from any burden of taxaton by the communty n whch they are located. They serve a much wder purpose n throwng ther doors open to the youth of the world, and n turnng out men equpped the fll key postons n many felds of endeavor. They are not moneymakng nsttutons. n ths respect they are analogous to churches whch have been tradtonally exempt from taxaton. The fnancal burden mposed on the colleges by taxaton would only make mperatve the curtalment of expenses essental to ther functonng. Ther standards would stand n danger of beng lowered. We must preserve ths Amercan tradton. The colleges must be as unhndered as possble OPEN ORUM, opelnnlg ts colulllns to letters anldlrcssed to the Edtor, T'; TECH does not guarantee publcaton of any commlluneaton nor does t necessarly endorse tle opnons expressed.

At a recent meetng of the Georga Collegate Press Assocaton, at the Henry W.

One delegate, representng a senor $'college under the Unversty of Georga System, stated that authortes of that school had construed a certan Nrulng of the Board of Regents, whch only made the school authortes respon ble for materal contaned n 'offcal campus publcatons, to forbd advertsng of any sort n newspapers publshed by schools under the Untversty System. CLeadng authortes have termed. Ị, l~ a msconstructon of the Regents' rulng. Not only does the excluson of advertsng matter take away a lfe substance of the newspaper, but t s also an unnecessary dran upon the nsttuton's funds to fnancally support the publcaton wthout advertsng revenue. -One of the purposes of a campus ths Tuesdary, Aprl 0, 934 BOT AWARDS GVEN TO SX SOPHOMORES Twenty Dollar Przes Gven for Perfect Englsh Przes of $20 each, part of the annual Bot przes "to stmulate the nterest n the best use of the Englsh language," have been awarded to sx members of the Sophomore Class.

He sad that the depresson had altered condtons so that t was now advsable to marry the stenographer, one of the few people now wth a job. A few years ago when Professor Rogers advsed graduates to marry the boss' daughter, t was rumored that the Amercan Socety of Boss' Daughters had pad hm a -at fee as retaner. t s now evdent that the stenographers have swayed hs allegance.

4 -. Page our - Wth thle A mereon - - College Edtor A Chance for mprovement Rado has probably be-en the target lately for more v erbal nssles than any one factor n our sonewhat cornplcated modern lfe. Durng the past year t has come n for severe "pannngs" n the edtoral columns of ths paper, and there stll remans much unsad about ths subject. There may be more pressng problems before the publc at the present tme, but -none n more need of consderaton when the proper tme arrves. The feld of rado broadcastng has developed wth such stunnng rapdty that the people have not been able to keep abreast of developments. The publc has been gnored n rado's frantc rush to obtan advertsers. and the huge ncome obtaned from ths source has been used to buld up an mpregnable monopoly. As thngs stand now, two chans control rado n an ron grp. Small ndependent statons ether have to co-oper ate wth the chans or go out of busness. Newspapers have realzed that the publc wants newvs, entertanment, and edtoral comment besdes commercal advertsng. On the other band, rado has totally gnored the publc n sellng the "front page," the "edtoral page," and every other "p~age" to atdvertsers n a mad search for profts. n fact, thngs have reached the state so ably descrbed by one rado columnst as "rado advertsng s at a pont where t s possble to clam anythng, leny everythng and prove nothng." Many newspapers try to mantan an educatonal level, but t s mpossble for any broadcastng staton to put on the ar any educatonal and hence unsporsored program due to the ron mace -welded by the chans. There s one ray of hope whch has been presented by a graduate of ths Unversty. n a recent ssue of Edtor anzd Pu~blshzer there s prnted an ntervew wth Dr. Orestes H. Caldwell, Purdue, '08, edtor of Electronzcs and member of the ederal Rado Commsson. Mr. Caldwvell states that there has been developed an attach % d Everythng from a Sandwch to a Steak Dnner at LYDA LEE'S 3-COURSE MEALS 30c- 40c - 45e ment for prntng newspapers by rado, whch has already been used by shps 2,000 mles at sea. The devce, whch wll sell at a mass proclucton prce of $2r5 uses a magnetc stylus whch can be substtuted for the loudspeaker, and accordng to Dr. Caldwell the apparatus s ready for the market. n as much as rado and the newspapers have been at odds wth each other heretofore, t seems unlkely that anythng so drastc wll be ntated untl the two have coordnated themselves better. The task of reorganzng rado control wll not be easy, for the rado ndustry s credted wth one of the st ongest lobbes ever to grace the nner sanctums of the Captol Buldng. Small opposton s smashed wth an ron fst. Larger and more formdable opposton s countered wth subtle flattery, publcty, and brbes. The ruthless methods employed by the rado ndustry may be llustrated by the last presdental campagn. Many tmes Roosevelt and other Democratc campagn speakers were cut off n the mddle of ther addresses, but about two months before electon tme, a general realzaton dawned upon the poucers n rado that Roosevelt would be the next presdent of the Unted States, and he was mmedately showered wth every courtesy as the broadcastng moguls set about entrenchng themselves r the new regme. The most dstressng thought about the whole stuaton s that the ederal Government s spendng over a mllon dollars per year n regulatng and controllng rado, and what a contlol system! Some new form of regulaton must be nstalled before the ndustry s strangled, whether t be by a reapportonment of broadcastng terrtory, or by makng the local staton supreme. t s almost a certanty that any new system cannot be as bad as the present system, and there s a large possblty that a great deal of mprovement can be effected.
