M. I. T. Plan Entries
-Early replies from three schools,
indicating that they will send boxers
to the Eastern Intercollegiate tourn
ament March 17 and 18, have been re
ceived by officials here, according to
Edwin S. Maimed ’33, student, man
ager in- charge of arrangements.
Syracuse University will enter a
full team in. the meet, a communica
tion received Friday said. With the
addition of Captain Joe Moran, .the
same team that defeated the Penn
State boxers here two weeks ago will
compete in the .tourney.
Dartmouth, Penn Reply
Although officials at Dartmouth
said that the college had no recog
nized boxings team, they indicated
that several of the intramural cham
pions might be worthy of competing
in the tournament here. University
of Pennsylvania authorities, also
wrote that several boxers would prob
ably be entered from that institution.
Navy's director of athletics replied
last week that the . Academy would
be unable to enter any representa
tives in the meet. However, continued
negotiations are being carried on with
officials there in the hope that they
may enter some of their best boxers,
according to Neil M. Fleming, gradu
ate manager of athletics here.
May Limit Entrants
"If favorable' response frdm-n'on
member institutions continues, the
association officials will no doubt de
cide to select the.best imen in the
various weights ' to compete in the
tournament, instead of having a- large
•number enter," ' Mr. ■ Fleming, said.
"This would be necessary to eliminate
the undesirable feature of having two
rounds a day for two' days," he added.
Invitation's to compete in the tour
ney have also been extended to Army,
M. I. T., and Western Maryland as!
members of the association, and to:
harvard, New Hampshire, and Yale,;

college session, eight during the sum
mer, and twenty-one during both the
regular session and the summer.
The concensus of alumni opinion as
indicated by additional comments
seems to be that students should work
part time only, borrowing.some mon
ey toward the end of their junior or
senior years, and then not too much.
Preferably one year and not more
than two years is cited as the maxi
mum time that a student should stay
out of college to earn money for his
expenses.
“A man' does not get full benefit of.
his college course when all his time
is devoted to earning his way
j through,” one alumnus says. “There-
J fore, a man should get together thir
ty or forty percent of his college ex
penses and then earn the rest as he
goes through.” «•
“My advice to studerfts would be,
don't borrow, too much,” adds another
! alumnus. “I should fix $l,OOO as the
| maximum. And by all means borrow
1 under thc proper business terms —
pay interest, protect yourself with in
surance, and pay buck u stipulated
amount yearly after graduation.
Otherwise your borrowing will be
come a nightmare to you.”

Wood Points Out
Working in conjunction with the
present officers of the Athletic asso

charge of the election of officers of
the association this spring as a result
of a decision reached by the Athletic
Board of Control at its meeting here
Saturday.
The decision to change the method
of election followed a discussion of
criticisms of the present system at the
Board meeting. Student Boaid will
have charge of the election until the
[revisions committee of the Board of
j Control proposes changes in the Ath
jletic association constitution which
j will eliminate present faults in the
election system.
Criticism Prompts Action
: Under the new arrangement, the
Athletic association election will be
conducted in Old Main instead of in
; the various Schools us has been the
custom in the past . The student com
mittee in charge of class elections will
also supervise the Athletic association
election, according to John A. Wood
“IS, chairman of Student Board.
A.wave of criticism fiom the student
body concerning the piesent method
of electing Athletic association offi
cials prompted th? action by the Ath
letic Board of Control, Wood stated.
•The, jljscussion proceeding the Board's
decision revealed, .that the general
opinion was that balloting should take
place in a central location and be in
j charge of disinterested persons, he
said.
Will Revive Interest
“The action of the Board will re
lease the Athletic association officers
from student criticism, and will revive
i interest in the activities of the as
sociation” Wood said in making the
announcement “It will also vlimin
