The first proposal was that all prop-erty damage shall be paid for by thosewho inflict it.

Use of Cars DiscussedThe next recommendation was that

the employment of cars in hazing berestricted as their use increases thepossibility of personal injury. Thisyear, for example, several men couldhave been injured during an episodeconcerning the Purple Shaft. InstituteCommittee agreed that cars are neces-sary means of transportation and

CR.IMhETHINK CRUSHEDA front page headline in last Tuesday's New York Times

proclaimned bluntly: "West Point and Annapolis Forbid Debatesen Recognition of Peiping." Reading on, we found that the ques-tion of recognizing Communist China is this year's intercollegi-ate debate topic, and that, because of this, students of both serv-ice academies are forbidden to enter the competition.

The reasons behind all this? The Arrmy says, "It is Depart-ment of the Army policy not to have U.S.M.A. cadets debate onsuch a controversial subject, on which in any case national pol-icy has already been established." Even more dubious is theNavy's position that one side or the other would have to favorrecognition, thus upholding "the Communist philosophy andparty line."

We could dismiss the whole episode as just another servicesnafu, except for its disturbing implications. National policy isno divine proclamation, out of bounds to critical analysis by blas-phemous mortals. Free discussion is essential to the workings ofdemocracy. Now, however, someone in Washington has discov-ered that a novel leprosy lies in merely debating our China pol-icy. Replacing careful thought by hysteria, a much more abun-dant commodity, he has ruled that since the Reds want recogni-tion, patriots must not only oppose it, but must refuse to discussthe matter. The intercollegiate debates are therefore thought-crime.

We challenge this decision. Our survival as a nation dependsnot on blissful ignorance, nor ol a bovine assent to everythingofficial, but on our own ability to weigh the situations and deci-sions we must face. Our national judgment is no better for suchhysterical refusals to examine all possible alternatives. The"someone" in Washington has hurt America far more by his pan-icked blunder than any conceivable debate could have done.

At the time of Dr. Compton's death this summer, the mainbulletin boards were removed from building 10 out of respect toour late leader. Soon afterwards, the Irnstitute decided.to removeall activities booths from the building and leave it as a shrine tothe school's war dead, whose names are enscrolled upon the walls.

Since the Building 10 lobby had previously served as the lo- cation of the main bulletin boards and the center of student ac- tivities, and since no location was readily available for a similarpurpose, it was decided to permit the booths to remain in thebuilding until a new location had been found. At this time it wasplanned to construct a number of booths along one of the wallsin the corridor leading from Building 10 to the main lobby. Alarge bulletin board would be placed on the opposite wall to serveas the school's main bulletin board.

More recently, however, the Institute has run afoul of cer-tain problems that make it highly impractical to place booths ad-jacent to the main corridor as previously planned. As a conse-quence, the school remains without a suitable location for a mainbulletin board accessable to all students and personnel. Certainly4..le boards in building 2 and 5 do not serve this purpose. In themeantime, the lobby of Building 10 stands as a huge, nearly va-cant sepulcre, serving as little more than a passageway betweenBuildings 3 and 4.

Somehow, after seeing the lobby vacant for over eight weeks,we cannot help but feel that it would be a more fitting reminderof the alumni who have died for their country if it were a livingmemorial, the center of student activity in the Main Institutebuildings, rather than a cold and lifeless waste.

For this reason, let us return the bulletin boards to Building10, and make it once more a beehive of activity. Then, and thenonly, will it be a true memorial of the dead in the minds of theliving who carry on. If the voices of those who are immortalizedon its walls could be heard, they would certainly concur.

Ten men between the ages of 26 and 40were featured in a recent national magazinearticle which presented a portrait of theyoung scientist in America today. Thesepal-ticular men are a sample of the mostbrilliant young scientific minds in industry.

Itsinteresting to note that three olf theten are with Bell Telephone Laboratories,three with General Electric and one eachwith four other companies.

The variety of opportunity in researchand other phases of telephone work hasalNways attracted an unusually high per-centage of the nation's best young men.

Jacobs with 14 and Gavin with13 were high men for the evening. Itlooks like the East Campus Raidersall the way with only Pi Lai holdinga threat.

In league three: On Nov. 10; Aero-syns topped Baker A 43-28, TEP wasdowned by SAE 31-25, and TEP beatPhi Sig Kappa 34-22. On the '17th:Aeerosyns defeated Student House 39-15 and SAE topped Phi Sigma Kappa46-33. Coffin of Aerosyns with 20 and17, Walt Baturka '57 of Student Housewith 15 and 8. Gelrekaris '57 of Bakerwith 13 and 14, and Bangert of SAEwith 14 were high scorers here. Itshould.be SAE as league champs witha little competition from Aerosyns.

League four shapes up as the nmostinteresting league to watch. Threesquads ale battling -it out for thelaurels. On the 8th: Grad House edgedTheta Xi 32-31, and Phi Kappa Sigmafolrfeited to Phi Kappa. On the 10th:Grad House over Phi Kappa Sigma48-17, DU eked out a 20-19 triumphover Phi Kappa, mainly because DickHurlbut '57 held Mike Kennedy '56 to9 malrkers, and AEPi downed ThetaXi 34-29. On the seventeenth GradHouse topped AEPi 35-21 and DUwalloped Phi Kappa Sigma 48-17. Topscorelrs for these last two nights welreBill Ermin of Grad House witlh 14 and22 points, Lars Olsen '57 of DU with

16 and 10, and Yutan '55 of Pi Lamwith 18 and 6. We think that DU willtake this league because they shouldbeat Grad House.

In league five: On the 14th: LambdaChi topped Beta 41-19, Sigma Chismealred Sig Ep 51-24, and Theta Chidefeated Chi Phi 101-13.

-lne season :t tone year is ap-proaching when musical groups overthe country, large and small, profes-sional and amateur, present variousversions of Handel's indestructiblework, The Messiah. The average mu-sic lover has grown accustomed tomassive presentations of the orato-rio, performed by a chorus and or-chestra of huge proportions, a tra-dition that grew up after Handel'stime, partly due to the romanticcoloring of 19th centurey music. Fol-lowing the efforts of Mozart to re-orchestrate the music, Mendelssohnand others managed to conceal manyof Handel's stylistic intentions. Thus,in producing a really accurate Mles-siah one must start afresh and ex-amine the first performance of the.work, heard in Dublin in April,1743.

Handel was working with a com-pact, well-tlrained group of a fewdozen singers and a small orchestraof similar size, composed forty percent of reeds and strings. Becausea piano does not blend well withstrings, Handel chose a harpsichordto augment the ensemble. This wasall Handel worked with, no organ,no immense brass section, and aboveall no gargantuan-sized choir.

Yet not all the confusion sur-rounding The Messiah can be blam-ed up the effects of time and tra-dition. Handel himself brought abouta duplication of certain arias formore than one voice range. Many of

the solos in The Messiah were laterrewritten for lower or higher voices,depending upon what singers wereavailable. One aria, "How Beauti-ful are the Feet", comes in no lessthan four versions-two soprano,one alto, and an alto and sopranoduet! Similarly the aria, "Thou artgone up," 'was written four ways-two soprano, one alto, and the usu-al version, bass. So, it is no smalltask for a musical group to reval-uate The Messiah.

But fortunately this year in Bos-ton such an effort is being made bythe Emmanuel Episcopal Church, lo-cated at 15 Newbury Street. Thedirector, Grover Oberle, has returnedto the original score of the Dublinperformance and duplicated theoriginal orchestra and chorus sizeand first versions of all the arias.The oratorio will be presented inthe church, December 1st. Some ofthe arias will undoubtedly soundstrange to modern ears, but it willbe a Messiah according to Handel'soriginal intentions, stripped of well-meant, but unnecessary tradition.

Westminster Records has made aneffort in the same direction, withresults not too successful. The con-ductor of the performance, HermannScherchen, attempted to recapturethe original spirit of the work, util-izing the original orchestra and cho-rus size. But the very novelty of theset defeats its purpose: . to reveala new Messiah. Having broken awayfrom the conventional orchestration,Scherchen proceeds to adopt tempithat are unconventional, if not un-singable. In such choruses as "HisYoke is easy" and "All we likeSheep" the London PhilharmonicChorus is unable to follow the furi-ous tempo, and at the same timebe really accurate with the runs and"fiotiture" that abound in the ora-torio. All the chorus can manage todo is to approximate the directionof pitch in each set of sixteenthnotes in the runs. At the other ex-treme is Scherchen's exaggeratedslow tempi on such choruses as"Surely". All totaled, the older, moretraditional version by Beecham iskinder to the singers and more con-sistent.

Discretion must be used in re-eval-uating a work as popular and agedas The Messiah. To fly violently toradical extremes with no reasons ex-cept to defy convention and gratifyone's personal ideas about how thework should be performed is no bet-ter and no more satisfying to givethe mediocre, traditional version usu-ally heard today.

A straw poll taken at the meetingon cars as an instrument for hazingshowed four in favor and eighteenagainst their use.

Thomas A. Marlow '55, JudicialCommittee chairman, then expressedthe opinion that cars were extremelydangerous because of their misuse andthat they . should be completely out-lawed respecting hazing.

Violation of Individual RightsAnother feature of hazing brought

out as objectionable was that the in-vasion of privacy when rooms arebroken into is a violation of individualrights. Along with this idea came thesuggestion that hazing shall be per-mitted only if the subject of the haz-ing has consented to it. However,many members considered this im-practical as those bent on hazingwould not desist simply because some-one did nbt feel like being hazed.
