 Unfortunately, the machine doesn't think however, much it may appear to approach that desirable attribute. One reason is that at present the ma chine is brainless. But, even if it had a brain, that organ would be of no use in controlling parts completely separated

COLLEGE MEN DEMAND TO x ENTER MILITARY ACADENIEt
Rensselaer, Poly Students Propose Plan Whereby Graduater Ehngin-

 Troy, N. Y., June 23.-With OnlS eight dissenting voices the entire stu dent body Of the Rensselaer, Polytech- mic Institute in straw vote express sed the opinion that provision sh ould be made for the appointment of grad uates of engineering colleges to the United States Military and Naval Aca- dernies-and that they should receive there two years course covering part of the work not included in their col 1ege curr1culunas.
 Graduates of the United States Ma val Academy who take up civil en- gineering, now receive their engineer ing instruction of two years at Ben sslaer Poly; and the Military and Ma val Academy graduates who take other engineering courses perform like duty at similar private institE- tions.,
 The agitators Of the plan state that while, if graduates of engineering colleges were appointed to the Aca- denies, it would take two years for the college graduate to acquire his military knowled dge-and hence there would be no gain in time saved d-nev- ertheless, a college graduate would en- ter the service after more mature re Election than the present Appodntees whose average education corresponds to that of a high school graduate. Tn addition, the college graduate would have already proven his liking anG adapta,bility to engineering, and wou16 not =be likely to become dissatisfied with the service''-having choser both the military and engineering pro fessions at a mature age.
