Academic FreedomConference PlannedBy Boston N.$.A;1

Recent investigations of Communistinroads into New England schoolshave inspired the organization of aSteering Committee to organize aseminar on academic freedom whichwill bring together "experts" in thisfield with representatives of student-gonvernment. The committee was ap-pointed by a Boston area conferenceof the National Students Associationat its meeting last week.

It is generally believed that the ap-pointment of the Steering Committeewas a reaction to the inpendin, al-rival of the Wiley Congressional In-vestigating Committee, which in re-cent months has been touring' thecountry investigating alleged conm-munist inifiltration into the nation'sschools.

No Action YetJohn G. Polk, '53, Institute repre-

sentatix-e to the NSA conference em-phasized in an interview with ThiesTech that no official action of anykind had been taken by the organiza-tion, but that it appeared that a num-ber of representatives felt that stu-dents oulhlt to be made awvare of theadvent of the Wiley Conmmittee andshould be acquainted with its pastrecord.

The steering committee of NSA,which will also plan for conferenceson student travel abroad -will hold itsfirst meeting tomorrow. It is expectedto set the date for .the AcademicFreedom Seminar at that time.

May I take it upon myself to thankTHE TECH for a very constructivecriticism of Tech Show '53, "PassThe Hat." For the first time in threeyears your crlitic has rememberedthat Tech Show is an amateur produc-tion.

However, I would like to rise to myown defense. You evaluate my musicas "lively and expressive but monoton-ous with regard to rhythm." I do notsee how you can. possibly use thephrases "lively and expressive" and"monotonous" in the same sentence.If you will glance at your copy of theprogram you will see that "Call MeMac" and "A West-Side Gal" are im-mediately followed by "Let Me Sing."The first and second were written toexpress melancholia and inner con-flict, and so, naturally, they were writ-ten in a gloomy minor key.

you noticed, there were at leasttwo dozen changes of tempo in each ofthese, so I would hardly call themmonotonous in rhythm.

Similarly, "Let Us Drink" containedno more than 10 consecutive measuresin the same rhythm. And "Pass TheHat," a bounce number, was followedby "I Love Him So," a blues number,which was followed by "Let's HaveA Rally."

Andy Kazdin's overture to Act IIcontained 5 different time signaturesand at least 5 changes of tempo. JohnHsia's "Now We Are Alone" changedtime signature twice and tempo thlreetimes.

Any monotony evident in "DrinkOn, Gentlelmen" should be taken upwith Mr. Beethoyan.

In all the other numbers in the showyou wvill notice that each was followedby a song whose tempo was either,twice or half as fast as that preced~it.

THE SCOURGE OF THE HOT--PLATEThe battle between the Administration and some strudents on

hlaving hlot-plates and certain other types of electrical appliancesin dormitory roomls has been raging for some years now, and it isiigh time the matter was settled once and folr all. A recent in-estigation by tile Dean's Office and the MNlanager of the Dormi-tories disclosed tlbat the gcreater part of the illicit hot-plate existson East Campus and in the Graduate House, The fact that hot-plates could just as well exist at Baker House and Butrton Housebut don't, seems to show that certain cllaracters of a home-lovingnature gravitate invariably towards the East Campus.

The Administration must take this into account in all serious-hess. Its objections to allowting: hot-plates in the dormitories arequite justified. But any enforcement plrogram will continue to meetwith the present ineffectiveness unless some other outlet for theculinary aspirations of East Campus men is provided. To the bestof our knowledge the basement of Crafts and MIunroe contain kit-chen equipment which could be converted into a buttery. If such abuttery existed and hot-plates were still found in dolrritory rooms,the Administration could in all fairness deal sever-ely with viola-tors. In the meantime it must continue to expect infringements.

To the Editor of THE TECH:Mr. Quinn's very cogent opinions

about the relationship of rivalry tovandalism center about the proposi-tion that the preponderance of dam-age is done by individuals, by unbal-anced persons with a predilection fordestruction, by people to whom therivalry is nothing more than a' pre-text for doing publicly what theywould ordinarily do secretly. "It is thepresence of such individuals that as-sures us that dormitory damage as-sessments would not be a dollar lessif rivalhy were banished." In thepresence of such powerful assuranceit seems a shame to introduce figureswhich even the remarkable mind ofMr. Quinn will find difficult to judgeirrelevant.

A MATTER OF FACTSReporting to Instcomm last Wednesday, the Chairman of the

Field Day Investigating Committee stated that tlhe main objectionto Field Day was the hazing which plreceded it; the Committeewould therefore proceed on the general asumption tlhat Field Dayshould be preserved, but a way should be found to minimize thehazing which comes before it. The Committee came to these con-clusions after consulting a number of students and Administrationofficials. These cannot, despite the best intentions of the Commit-tee, be expected to represent the views of the whole student body.

This newvspaper has offered to cooperate withl the Field DayInvestigating Committee in conducting a poli of all the studentsin order to find out their views. The initiative for conducting sucha poll must come from the Committee. The conclusions drawn with-out the benefit of a poll show that the Committee has sought toreach decisions without knowing all thle relevant facts. They alsoseem to irnply that a majority of its members are firmly convincedof the very debatable fact that hazing can be minimized withoutabolishing Field Day. In any case, the Committee leaves itselfopen to suspicions of bias and negligence.

The investigation is of too serious a nature to permit of trif-ling. The Committee was not formed to investigate hazing alone.It was folrmed, as its name implies, to investigate Field Day in itsentire setting. If it is not prepared to do this, another Commnitteemust be formed which will.

TRADITIONS IN THE MAKINGIt is to be regretted that tlhe Dean's Office has this year seen

-fit to discontinue a tradition founded by our late Dean of Students:Everett Moore Baker: that of erecting a Christmnas tree each yealrin the lobby of Building 7. It is still more to be regretted that nomention was made of this move; ancd it is lucky tlhat somre stu-dents found out in time to do something about it. In its Wednes-day meeting, Instcomrnm formed a committee to alrrange for theprovision of such a tree, and agreed to see which of its sourcesof funds was available for its purchase and erection.

Instcomm's prompt and spontaneous action is very commend-able, ancLd will be appreciated by us all. We suggest that hence-foyth the Balkelr Memorial Foundation take upon itself as one ofits tasks the iprovision of a Christmas tree in Building 7 each year.

We alre goladci to note that carols will again be sung this yealr,this time on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. This is con-sidered a better time than the customary 11:45 a.m. While moststudents do not have classes scheduled for this hour, there arequite a few who do, and we hope that between now and Wednesdaytle Administration will see fit to reconsider its decision not tosuspend classes at that time.

Basketball(ConLtinued from Page 1)

A.I.C. has lost all three starts, hav-ing previously lost to Amherst andConnecticut.

Next GamesThis week end the team will play

twoo big road games, against CityCollege of New York on Friday nightand against Stevens Institute of Tech-nology on Saturday night. Althoughthe recent basketball scandals de-stroyed the CCNY championshipteams, City still has a good team, andwill the Beavers a hard time. TheStevens game is always interesting,since the New Jeresey engineeringschool is a natural rival for M.I.T.This is the first time that the Beavershave met City, but Stevens defeatedthe Tech squad last year in a closegame.

The next home game will be onTuesday, December 16, against theUniversity of New Hampshilre. Thegame will be played at 8:45 in WalkerMernorial. The TJNH game promisesto be a good one, as the New Hamp-shire team has several excellentplayers.

This together with stricter enforce-ment of the existing regulations, maycut down the flood of unauthorizedmaterial.

As most students know, there wasrecently a false alarm in the BurtonHouse, to which a considerable por-tion of the Fire Department respond-ed. In the discussion resulting fromthis incident, it was brought out thatno fire drills have -been held in theDorms recently, and that no plan ofoperation to follow in case of firehas been worked out. The Dormcommhas nowv been charged with this re-sponsibility. A committee will drawup a plan of exodus to be used incase of fire and notices will be postedin all dormitory rooms.

A motion wvas made to the effectthat the meetings of Dormcommshould be held perinanently in theBaker House. A lively discussion en-sued, led by the members from EastCampus, to defeat the motion. A rollcall vote was finally taken, and themotion was soundly defeated.

Jay Berlore made a motion to theeffect that all house committeesshould be elected at the beginningof each semester, instead of once ayear, as they are at present. Themotion was tabled for further study.

W.M.I.T. has asked Dormnicomm fora loan of $300 which would be usedto place a transmitter in the 420 sec-tion of Burton House. A representa-tive of W.M.I.T. will be present atthe next meeting.

The varsity squash team lost a 7-2decision to a powerful Harvard teamon the M.I.T. courts, Wednesday,December 10. The only winners forl|Tech wlere Na'i Malani and Paul Mel-avas, both of whom took closematches from their rlivals. Severalother matches were close. however.r,with Hugh Harriman and Paul Goldinboth losing 3-2. Coach Jack Summerscited the excellent play of both Ma-lani and Melavas in winning, and saidthat Tech's number one man, PaulRudzinski, also played well, althoughhe was outclassed by his opponent,Watts.

The freshman teanm, although muchimproved, lost to the Harvard Froshby a score of 9-0. Inexperience con-tributed greatly to the downfall ofthe Tech team, as several membersof the team had been playing for lessthan a year.

The next match fo' the varsity teamwill be on January 8, when the Wes:leyan varsity will visit Cambridge.The freshmen are also scheduled tomeet the Wesiey~an frosh the sameday.

"The manipulation of terror as asystem of power is a delicate art. Adictator in command of modern arma-ments and a secret police can trans-form his subjects into robots and au-tomatons. But he runs the risk ofdestroying the sources of creativeinitiative on which the ultimate survi-val of his own regime depends .. .A system of terror ends by terroriz-ing the master as well as the slave.. . . This is the problem of the Sovietdictatorship, and the problem onwhich it may well be founded."
