Tuesday, October l6, I934 After nine days of hectic entertain- ing at dances, smokers, theatre par- ties, and banquets, the fraternity rushing season closed last Friday night with pledging ceremonies at nearly all of the various houses. At a few of the houses, pledgings were not held Friday but were to come a few days later. Others who did pledge Friday will have addi- tional ceremonies during this Week.

The jour- nal is that of the 'l‘ohoku Imperial university of Sendai, Japan. Studies Multi-Lincur Forms Dr. Oldenberger is engaged in ex— tensive research in the field 01' func— tions of three or more variables. Such functions, known as multi— lin.ar iorms, are intimately con- nected with many problems deal— ing with life, and they are indis~ pcnsable in studies in relativity and quantum mechanics. Dr. Oldenburger has done a large amount of research in this field, and is something of an authority on quantum mechanics. He has pre— sented more than a dozen lengthy papers on the subject to various mathematical societies, and has pub- lished iour in recent years. Author of other Articles Besides the one soon to come out in the Japantsc journal, another will be published shortly in the “Trans~ actions of the American mathemat- ical Society." A paper cntitltd “Composition and Rank of N—way Matrices and Multi-linear Forms”, published in "American Annals of Mathematics", evoked a letter from Dr. Frank L. Hitchcock, professor of mathemab ice: in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which stated that this work involved a considerable ad- vance over research in the same sub- ject done there a few years ago. The journal in which the mono- graph appeared is published by the “Institute for Advanced Study” at Princeton university, a group with which Professor Albert Einstein is connected. STUDENT MUSINGS There are some prizes in this couri- try which are not got by “push". These are obtained by “pulls". A “pull” is a mysterious natural force which takes the place of muscle, brains, industry, or ability, and pro- duces satisfactory results. It is by far the best utility player in the political game and bats over .300 in business, the drama, and society. Having a “pull" means having a friend in power, who is willing to act as a steam Windlass for you. When a man with a “pull" desires anything; from an office to a divorce, he a» tachcs himself to the object and his powerful friend books on, and pulls until the prize is dislodged. A “pull” can haul a man over more talented candidates into a government posi— tion. It can secure him a city contract on the highest bid. lt can get him out of the police station without a fine, after he has run through a flock of school children at full speed. It can get a ship canal in his district, al- though ships would have to come many miles on wheels in order to play in it; and it will get a beautiful lady a job as star in a theatrical company, before she has learned how to dodge the drop curtain. It is estimated that over one billion donkey power is being exerted it. pulls in this country in one day. But nowadays there is always some or ficious cuss who is sure to come around and cut the rope, just as the pull is being exerted. Reformers are death on “pulls." Nothing delights a reformer more than to bisect a pull, just at the critical point, and to watch the indignant woe of the fly- sized pullee who was just about to be hauled into an eagle-sized job. A “pull" is a wonderful thing, but there are some feats it cannot per form. It cannot get a man on the world‘s series team, unless, of course, he smokes Camels. It cannot get poetry read after it is one hundred years old. It cannot cure dyspepsia, and it cannot induce an icy sidewalk to lie quiet and docile, while an im~ portant personage is trodding there- on. A big “pull” will haul a man higher up than a little push, but the altitude isn‘t half so permanent, for the pullee never knows when the man at the other end of the rope is going I to let go to spit on his hands.
