Combine To MArderBaseball Tomorro'-w-s

Undefeated "The Tech Trojans"will face the VooDoo juggernautin the crucial game of their an-nual one-game series tomorrow.Both teams were expected to be infine "spirits" by game time. Inlast year's playing of this sWiMballepic the "Trojans" nosed out theV.D.Is 11-10, although there wassome dispute as to the score aris-ing from the fact that the slightlybefogged players couldn't remen-ber the day of the week, much lesswho had scored.

It is rumored that The Tec~h willsend their ace heaver, Dave Israel,against the powerful VooDoo nmne.He is the originator of the ball thathas hops instead of hop. Always agreat, crowd drawer, J.D.C. "Babe"Little, triple threat man (purity-body-flavor) whom they got fromthe Kellogg crunchers for threebox tops, will lead the Voo Doo"grafters" in their attack.

Surprises are in store for thecocky grafters in the form ofTom "'Tully" Hilton, officially listedas groundkeeper, whose wonderfulcapacity at fielding has astoundedJake (their coach); and JoltingGeorge Freund, only man in base-ball with a negative batting aver-age.

For Coming YearThe Institute Committee lost

Wednesday held elections for threepositions on the Executive 7Commit-tee, and elected two members tothe newly formed Judicial Commit-tee. in adiieiiol title coul'ILOVe-ae-LU-

question of Junior -Night was dis-cussed, and the report of the JuniorNight Committee was accepted.

Adriaan P. Van Stolk, '49, waselected vice-president of InstituteCommittee, from a group of fournominees, and James K. Bermaii,'49, and Eugene Wroblewski, '49.were elected mem-bers-at-laxige onthe Executive Committee. The Ex-ecutive Committee consists of thepresident, vice-president, secretary(also head of WWC), treasurer, andtwo members-at-large.

Hilton Heads New CommitteeThomas L. Hilton, '49, General

Manager of The Tech, was electedchairman of the newly-formed Ju-dicial Committee, and Harry F.Raab, Jr., '5, ,was elected a juniormember of the same committee.

The report of the Junior NightCommittee was submitted and ac-cepted. The report discussed thepurposes, acconplishments, anddifflculties which resulted from -thestag party citing instances of "dis-graceful conduct."

More Planning RecommendedThe committee recommended in.

connection with its report, Itmore planning be made as to thetype of entertainment, and es-pecially that planning ibe made farin advance, to allow for full andcareful -consideration by controll-ing hbniciie Thp retowrt, roonm_mended that marshals be appointedfor fuiture affairs, that a more care-ful control of beverage be planned,and that attendance be limited, es-pecially with respect to membersof other classes.

Class of 1949 PenalizedDiscussion was started asto what

penalties -for the "unfortunate mis-take" should be made, and it wasvoted that the Class of 1949 wouldbe denied the right to serve beerin Walker Memorial at any futureaffairs. According to Davidl L. Yeo-mans, '49, this will include aRlsenior events in Walker.

As a result rules concerning con-trol of beer, and of activity plan-ning in Walker were officially writ-ten into the Walker Memorial Oom-mdttee House Rules. It was de-cided that the existing committeesand controls are sufficient tDhandle any activities in Walker,but it was again stated that no by-passing of these controls will bemade again, as was done for Jun-ior Night. An apology was madeby the Junior Night Committee fornot consulting Walker MeniorialCommittee in time.

Question Raised AgainAfter discussion on rules had

ended, a representative of theCatholic Club again brought upthe question of restrictions on thetype of entertainment. SinceWalker Memorial Committee mustpass on any and all plans; it isassumed that no out-of-taste planswi1 De permitted.

In conclusion, it was decided thatthree things would be done: A let-

ter would be sent to tihe Dea3's of-fice, describing the Junior NightCommittee report, and advising theDean's Office of the Institute Cdm-mittee's decision to accept :lthe re-port; that the rules concerningWalker Memorial refreshment andentertainment were incorporatedinto the WmW house rules; and fi-nally that the class of 1949 was de-nied the use of beer in Walker Me-morial for the remainder of theirclass parties.

TIagoun, Class Prexy,Says Gift Will HelpBroaden Tech Minds

-,we must not confine ourselves -xtone narrow aspect of life-music isas important in our life as pro~b-lem-solving," declared Professor F.Alexander Magoun in explainingwhy the Class of 1918, of which heis p! esident, chose the unusual giftof a Hammond electric organ topresent to the Institute]

The organ will be dedicated thisSunday at 3:00 pm. in Morss Hall.Harry Upson Camp, '18, will give arecital, and the Glee Club willrender appropriate numbers. DeanEverett M. Baker will conduct theservice, to which all are invited,and Dr. Karl T. Compton w^ill ac-cept the gift for the Institute.

Prof essor Mtagoun stated that theClass of 1918 felt that Techmenwere too little acquainted with;deas that were not connected withcantilever bridges. He mointed outthat other engineering schools suchas Worcester Tech and Lehigh, haveorgans, while Technology until nowhas not owned one, a situationwhich the donors believed shouldbe rectified.

In the future the musical clubsand other organizations will be ableto use the organ for recitals andconcerts. Since the instrument isportable, it will be possible to moveit to the rotunda in Building 7 forthe annual singing of Christmascarols, or, to use it for an All-Techsing in the Great Court.

THE NEED FOR MORE SPIRITED SINGINGThe Boston Globe in one of its columns Monday morning

commented on Tech Nights at the Pops to the effect that it

was nothing like 25 years ago whel Technology students

thought more of college songs than of the orchestra and

drowned out the orchestra singing Tech songs.

While we think highly of the Boston Pops Orchestra and

hence don't advocate such extreme measures, it is certainly

desirable to develop a little more spirit when it comes to singing

our Technology songs. In "Sons of M.I.T.," we have an original

song of as high caliber as any of the other college Alma Maters.

All it would take is a little spirit and publicity to make it

well-known at least in this area. There is no better way of

arousing a feeling for one's college than by a song to associate

smith the school.

Letters to the EditorI BEGIN TO WORRY

Dear Sirs:

One evening when I was sitting

in my room on the fourth floor of

the Sigma Chi fraternity house,

quietly doing my lhomework, an

incident occurred which unnervecI

me for several days.

My roommate George, had been

wandering around for several

mir utes trying to determine the

weight of an airmail letter he had

just written, so that he could put

on the correct number of stamps.

Widely differing opinions resulted

when he asked other people to

guess the weight and he decided

to use some other means of judg-

ing. with a wild gleam in his eye

he snatched a rod from inside of

one of the window shades. Then

he dug in his desk and came up

with a half-pound block of cheese

and a slide rule. A copy of Phillip's

calculus book uosed as a fulcerum for

the window rod !ever completed

the equipmerlt, and shortly, with

the aid of another roommate,

Johnny, the weight of the letter

was well known within a small

fraction of an ounce. Theyr tried

hard to integrate but a simple pro-

po>rtion seemed to give the solution.

When scientific training goes

that far, I begin to worry. Atttend-

ing MIT for several years might

do it to mle, Dr you, too.

WAIFM R. STAHL, '51

Otherwise, we found Tech Night at the Pops as usual one

of the highlights of the social season at Technology.

for college students all over the country. Many educators have

a glint in their eyes like crafty land speculators. They're

thinking about lew buildings, bigger departments, and

expanded faculties. However there's a trend in the new

enrollments that suggests it's time to say "who"" and let's take

a look around. In many colleges more non-veteran students

are enrolling this winter.Optimists have assumed that the present record enrollments

are indicative of a long-time trend. The applications of five

million veterans for benefits to be invested in higher educationl

havre been approved by the Veterans Administration. This

backlog of potential students plus increased enrollments of

non-veterans provides the basis for this anticipatory rubbing

together of the palms. However, thousands of these pros-pective students may never shove an enrollment card over aregistrar's desk or stand in a registration line.

Veteran students who have not yet taken advantage of theireligibility entitlemzents are working at various jobs. They'llthink hard before giving them up. Jobs are getting scarcer

-and veterans are getting older.A man 25 years old, and that's the average for veterans,

is likely to be reluctant about jumping into four years of col-lege work. At that age he is probably thinking about marriage,a home, and a steady income. That leaves the nlon-veterans tobolster enrollment statistics.

The years 1930-1936 were a period of exceedingly low birthrates. Children born during that time ale now the ones whoIare entering the nation's colleges and universities. They willaccount for a large part of our college population for the nextfive or six years. Thus there will probably be fewer new-sl-udents entering schol-01 fl'ail in 61. l-e----. 1)1tvtu yeasu car

That there will be a continued high enrollment in schoolsat the college level is not questioned. But plans based on boomtime conditions must be discarded when a recession begins.It is better to proceed with the prospect of a setback in mind.Booms do burst. The one in education probably will.

Sample DefeatDoubles Teamn GainsOnly Beaver Victory

Two long winning streaks collidedhead-on last Monday afternoonwhen the Technology and Harvardtennis teams met at Soldier's Field.

At the conclusion of the day's

activities it wasthe Harvard recordwhich remained intact, as the

Crimison racquetmen handed theBeavers an 8-1 defeat.

Not only the team's seven-gamewinning streak, but also the per-sonal undefeated records of Cap-tain Axel Kaufmann, Garr Colton,

Warren Watters, and Chuck Millerfell by the wayside as the Harvardteam swept all six singles matchesand two of the, three doubles en-counters.

Eaufmaarnn, Watters MmiiThe only victory for Tech was

contributed by Kaufmann and Wat-ters, who defeated Ted Backe andVince Brandt in doubles, 6-3, 6-3.

Most of the singles matches were

close, although Earl Ruhlig was theonly Techman able to am a set inthe singles competition. The team

seemed to experience considerabledifficulty in getting accustomedto the Harvard courts, which are

quite a bit slower than the homecourts at Briggs Field.

Freshmen Split TwoThe freshmen tennis team

blanked Tufts, 9-0, in a match heldlast week. On Monday afternoon,however, the freshmen were de-feated by Harvard, 5-2. Gerry

Montsalvage wron his singles matchfrom Bayard Robb, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0,

and Pete Ney and Zeke Crockerdefeated Bacon and Price of Har-

vard, 6-3, 6-3, for the only Techvictories.

Sailing(Continued from Page 1)

while accustoming himself to theboat, he more than made up forthis loss by winning all his othersix races.

As a result of his victory here,Evans will represent the NewEngland Yacht Clubs in the final

eliminations at Larchmont at theend of May. The winner of thiscompetition will represent theUnited States in London next Sum-mer.

Six skippers were eliminated inthe first round of the Olympiceliminations Tuesday, while thefleet was divided into two divisions.Tech's John Marvin racked up two

firsts in B. while another Techskipper, Chuck Bloomer, capturedthe only first Evans-missed in A.

Tech Places FourthThe Tech sailing team was

swamped by three other colleges

to place fourth in a sea of ninein the Coast Guard Bowl regattasailed last Saturday and Sunday atNew London.

Yale won the regatta with 153

points, followed by Brown 142, andCoast Guard 124. Tech placed

fourth with 101 points, beating Bos-ton University with 99, Holy Cross

98, Boston College 97, Middlebury79, and Northeastern Universitywith 69 points.

Tech's reputation in racingcircles was saved on Sunday by

Danny Greenbaum who gainedtwo firsts and several seconds. High

Captain Reynolds entered Tech-

nology in 1942, and rowed that year

for the freshman crew. Called to

active service in the Navy, Bill

spent three years as a fighter pilot

before being returned to civilian

life. He lost no time in getting back

to rowing, and was in the shells in

'46, '47, and '48.

Bill is 23 years old, about medium

height, and tips the scales at 160.

Rather serious in appearance, Billis always thinking about the sportthat takes up so much of his timehere at Tech. The time he has leftis spent flying with the NavalPReserve Squadron.

the team showed how far it had

A, Ax Votes New SystemFor Determlining Awar s

Letters ReservedFor Athletes OnlyClimaxing three months of work

on a new system for sports awards,the M.I.T. Athletic Associationvoted to accept the recommenda-tions of its Awards Committee atthe regular monthly meeting ofthe Association last Tuesday eve-ning.

The new system, which will takeeffect next Fall, provides a com-plete separation of awards for

athletic and for administrative abil-ity. As was decided by the A. A.last winter, the straight T willalso be eliminated, and athleteswho meet the oualifications for avarsity or junior varsity award will'receive a seven or five-inch chenilleT. respectively.

According to D:onald Marshall','48, chairman of the Awards Com-mittee, the philosophy of the newsystem is to give the Insigniaawards "real prestige on an ath-letic level." Administrative per-sonnel in the A.A. Will in thefuture receive awards of gold orsilver keys rather than varsity em-blems.

Other significant,, developmentsinclude the reserving of classnumerals for award only to quali-fied freshman athletes-of inlter-col-legiate sports and freshman man-agers, and the institution of a nlewtype award for Field Day and irl-terclass competition.

The Awards Comumittee, consisting of Marshall, William P. Reyn-olds, '48, and Thomas H~udson, Jr.,'49, canvassed 19 colleges as totheir system of awards, and -alsinterviewed the coath, captain, andmanager of every M.I.T. athleticteam.

Henze caught New Eampshire's

turn. Henze pulled away from

Dunklee in the home stretch to

win the race.

The 880-yard run was all Tech.

Randy Cleworth led all the way and

Doug Vitagliano and Henze over-

took the leading Wildcat runner in

the last 100 yards to finish second

and third, respectively, and com-

plete the sweep for Tech.

Dunklee Pulls Ahead

In -the varsity two,-mile race,New Hampshire's Dunklee startedhis kick at the beginning of the gunlap. He passed Gordon Hunt, ofTech, and caught Tech's BudSimpson, only to have the latterpull away from him. In the mean-time, Hunt was narrowing the gapbetween himself and Dunklee. Thethree came down the home stretchwith Simpson leading and Huntgaining on Dunklee. In a finishthat had the spectators shouting,Simpson won and Hunt passedDunklee to take second place.

The meet was interrupted due toheavy rain after Art Compton, ofTech, had won the freshman highhurdles race. When the meet wasresumed, Tech's Louis Galan andBill Warner finished one-two in thefrosh 100-yard dash.

Olney Wins TwoEd Olney scored a double win

for the Beaver freshmen by cop-ping the 220 and 440. Ed Guertinwas the Tech high scorer witheleven points, and Riciputi led theBlue and White freshmen with 16.Guertin won the shotput and tookseconds in the discus and javelin.

Construction(Continue'd from Page 1)

Previously changes in the originalplans had caused delays. The mainalteration was the change from afour-story structure to a six-storystructure, necessitating a changein the amount of concrete goinginto the foundation.

Brick Work Commences

At present the concrete pouringis the big job. The columns andsides of the fourth floor are nowbeing poured, and a small amountof bricklaying has started on thefront of the building. Soon thebricklayers will go all out for theirjob, and whens the concrete menhave reached the roof with theirpouring about the middle of June,the bricklayers will have reachedthe second story.

Leaving the Senior House, wewander~ed over in the direction ofWalker Memorial, where we visitedMr. Fe. A. McKinnon, general super-visor of our new library project.Very much downcast by the re-mo~val of the intriguing steamshovel, we asked McKinnon whatsort of future entertainment wasplanned for the sidewalk engineers.He replied the pile driver (prob-ably with a 3500 pound hammer),to be used in about two or threeweeks, should provide sufficientamusement for most. of the spec-tatos.

Caissons to Support LibraryThe workers . are occupied at

present with the installation ofcaissons, which are the cylindricalshaped objects about three orfour -feet in diameter which are nowlying on the ground in the "bighole." After the caissons have beeninstalled (at a depth of from 27to 42 feet), they will be filled withconcrete and, as the concrete dries,will be removed.
