Page Four Mort Shows How to Borrow Easily Advises Against Flattery, Abruptness Best (This is the first of a series of edu— cational articles of especial value to the engineering student. It will be known as the “How To—” series. “How to Borrow Money” is the first of this series.) By Mort The technique used by the average Tech student in the art of ‘putting the touch on,’ ‘Mooching out of,’ or any other term used to designate the process of borrowing money, is of the crudest form. The general procedure employed by the greater majority of Tech Touchcrs is the ‘howdy pal' type. This is recognized the world over as the simplest and usually most in- effective method. The victim is ap- preached by the scintillating conniver with a heart warming, “hello, old boy, old pal, how are you. Gee, you’re a swell guy”——and on, and on, and on. The expected answer is always, “Aw- right, how much do you want?” What Does Victim Think? From the psychological standpoint, the faintest hope for this reply should be far removed from the bor- rower’s mind. To follow my point of view, put yourself in the victim’s place. What does he think of first? Ninety-five per cent of the time he’ll say to himself, “Well, now here’s a fellow who’s really fond of me. From all indications he’s just dying to be friends. I guess I won't give him the dough, he likes me so much he’ll be pals again anyhow." And so our hap- less heel takes on the hunt for fatter and (lumber game. Now then, if our hare-braincd hero had been well acquainted with the system used by the more astute shake- down artist, he would have appealed to the altruistic nature of his ‘choscn' by a trickier and truly effective meth- or]. The method is this: Approach your victim in a venomous mood. Let him know you despise him! Go as far as to tell him why . . . even point out his hateful characteristics. Now then, let us look at his phychological reac- tions. He’ll think, “Now this guy’s honest. He hates my guts and he tells me so. He hates me so much it’ll probably kill him to be indebted to me. He’ll pay as soon as he‘has it, I hate him so much I’d just love to he ARMOUR TECH NEWS @myowcs ”if... the gate, cultural side of their education.

S.— THEY USE TOO MUCH POWDER,” Group from A.S.M.E. inspects Auto Show Gleaming bodies and glittering chrome were the order of the day last Thursday when the Armour A.S. M.E. conducted an inspection trip through the Chicago Auto show held at the International Amphitheatre. The trip, which took place after the Armistice day assembly, was made possible by Professor Daniel Roesch, who was able to secure over two hundred tickets. his creditor and watch him squirm.” And so the process is completed by your getting the loan. Here’s Another Way The preceding method can be ap- plied universally but for a standard approach at an engineering school use this system. Pick some dim-wit in m advance and keep supplying him with the homework. After a few weeks he becomes utterly dependent upon you. Then you’ve got him! Come to school on the pay-off day with a long look on your face. When old money-bags shows up for the work then you put the “Scrooge" on him. “I can't give it to you," you tell him. ”Why," he’ll plead. “Well, I put my slide—rule in hock and can’t do it.” When he hears this will he kick in? You betl! It’s been done to me many a time. Anyhow, if your pecuniary condi- tion is very bad, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go out and work for some money.
