$ITF F A . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Construction of the Institute'snew high voltage generator came to

-a dead stop last May. A steel millstrike delayed delivery of a largehigh pressure tank which must beinstalled before work can be re-sumed.

When the twelve million electronvolt generator is finished, it will becapable of delivering a steadystream of positive ions and elec-trons with a potential of three totw'elve million electron volts.

Differs from CyclotronA generator of this sort differs

from a cyclotron in that the efergyof the accelerated particles is veryconstant and controllable. Theenergy of part'cles emanating froma cyclotron is spread over a consid-erable range.

Westgate Once AgainScene of Conflagration

Fire once again ravaged cro~wdedWestgate 'late Saturday night.Flames were detected spouting fromduplex cottage 40 about 11:20 pgm.and Cambridge firemen were imme-diately alerted. Their prompt actionprevented the blaze from reachingthe disastrous proportions of thefamous '46 Westgate West conflag-ration, although moderate damagewas caused.

Nathan Cook, occupant of thedwelling, reported that the fireprobably originated from a portableelectric cord. Woodwork, curtains,chairs, .and a rug. were consumedbefore the blaze could be broughtunder controL

The fire that took place on Octo-ber 31, 1946, gutted the inside of oneof the two story barracks in West-gate West. The dwelling which wasfortunately unoccupied at the timewas badly damaged. The fire burnedover an hour before it could bebrought under control.

.Eastgate Applications Exceed Facilities;Iulti ilwn Dollar Project Near FinishWith frame and exterior con-

struction on the Eastgate Aparf-ments still under way; requests forspace in the completed buildinghave already exceeded the numberof suites planned, officials disclose.The twelve-story structure on theeasternmost end of the campus is ajoint project of the Institute andthe New England Mutual Life In-surance Company.

Old Factory Delays ConstructionOver-all construction on the

apartments is slightly behindschedule due to a delay in procur-ing the Cosmopolitan factory build-ing which had to be dismantled.Accordingly, the westerly end of themain wing, where the factory wasformerly situated, shows the leastprogress. The rest of the main wingand the east and west wings havenearly reached their full height.There has been no above groundconstruction on the semi-under-ground garage to be located in therear.

Some interior work has alreadystarted including door frames andwall work in the east wing. Severalof the unique corridors are also in.These occur only on every thirdfloor and provide access to the floorsimmediately above and below thecorridor floor. Such a system in-sures privacy and thorough ven-tilation for suites on non-corridorfloors.

All apartments have been de-

signed to provide a maximum ofsunlight for the occupants, whichit is expected will be mostly Insti-tute staff and faculty members. Noliving room has a northerly expos-ure and all are situated. so as toprovide maximum window area andprivacy. The projecting concreteslabs now visible will eventually be-come balconies for every suite re-gardless of size. These living roomextensions will be separated fromthe main apartment by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. All kitchen anddining areas are on exterior walls.

Modern Improvements FeaturedAdditional features of the apart-

ments have been released. Theseinstallations will include G.E. gar-bage disposal units, G.E. electricranges, and silent mercury lightswitches. Circulated, filtered warmair will be used for heating. Steamwill be furnished by the CambridgeSteam and Electric Company, thiseliminating all boilers and attend-ant smoke in the building itself.Closets will be fitted with slidingdoors, so that all the contents maybe reached without swinging a doorout Into the bedroom.

The total of 261 apartments isdivided as follows: 29 three-bed-room apartments, 108 two-bedroomapartments, 95 one-bedroom apart-ments, 28 studio apartments, andone penthouse apartment. TheGeorge A. Fuller Co. is undertak-ing the construction.

Beginning with the current season, a new policy regardingadmissions to Tech athletic events will go into effect. Thispolicy, established by the Athletic Association, requires thatall students present their registration certificate for entry tothese events, while guests and non-students will be required topay full admission.

The work, which had 60 mem-bers last year, expects to get about30 of these back this year. The re-mainder of these places must befilled in with new members,

Combined AssistanceBoys' Work functions mainly in

conjunction with regional socialservice institutions such as the com-munity chest financed settlementhouses. Men are placed in variouspositions within these institutions,often with much responsibility.

Some work, however, is under-taken by the Institute body as anindependent unit. For example,efforts are being made to organizeinto an orderly system the use bylocal children of Institute groundsand gym. Money has been appro-priated from regular T.C.A. fundsto send Boston area boys to summercamp.

Due to the unavailability of thepast director, David Kret, '50, hasrecently assumed duties as directorof Boys' Work.

attitude of hostility toward fresh-men and has adopted instead a"fatherly, or at least big-brotherly"

against a slipshod quantitative

statement in item 6 which, if

allowed to go uncorrected, is apt

to leave our -freshmen a un-

fortunate and erroneous imprres-

ANAGEOthan 14 percent of 1.14k (where k

is the briginal or usual'se~lingrice

coop cannot break even if it raises

prices only 14 percent. According

to my calculations, the break-even

-One :thing is certain: it's this year or never (or at -earst rlot-for.a long Dume to come) for most Tech teams. to, poduce a replly*Dig~season. 'Very few Iosses. have been incurred through~gr~aduati;on, whilenext 8pring the class of '50 will- take with it the nucleus of oiuI. basket-ball, baseball, tracer, azid swi nmming teams, to mention only a fewt. So,if anything is to be accomplished, it wail have -to be this. year:-:

There -seems to be a -general realization- in athletic .circles that this.is th~e ca'se.- For example, Warrenl Berg has had his bat and~glove, men,out for fal practice, practically an unprecedented feat,,. 1'n an -all-outeffort to produce a winning team next Spring. With all -his xeguiazs.having an added year of valuable experience untder their belts -andthe addition of several members of -last year's fairly successful fresh-man nine, the chances are fairly good that Berg will get his win~ug

team.On the basketball front, we note that Technology's hoosters axe

scheduled t6 m-ake' an appearance on1 the Bo0ston Garden court -thiswinter, for the first time in many years. This facet seems to indicatethat the AA expects to have a team which will sho'w up to some a~d-vantage before the critical Boston public, most of which is probablyfirmly conied that all we do at Tech is push slide rules ar:ound.At any rate, Ted Heuchling has lost only Jim Madden fromh last year's"five, and although Jim was certainly a key man, his less should bemore than balanced -by the addition of several talented operatives from.last year's freshma~n outfit, which boasted the most successful season in1history.

Lawst April, when The Tech ran its baseball contest, the expertswere predicting close, two-team pennant races in each major league.I~t was to be the Braves and tile Dodgers neck-and-neck ill the National,League, while the Red Sox fought it out with Cleveland's, Indiansfor the ijupio loop championzhip. The 150-odd entrants to the contestseemed to? agree with experts, opinion, as most of -the entries consistedof various permutations and combinations of those four clubs in thefirst twor places of each league, and the other -twelve teams as also-rans.

Now, five -months later, the season enters its final week with botohpennaint races about as close as could be imnagined, but, strangelyenough, -the casts seem to have undergone a change. Brooklyn's belovredbumns have spent the last few weeks chasing not the Braves, whorepolse "comfortably?' in fourth place, but the St. Louis Cardinals, ateam which had been generally consigned to the serapheap or a homefor the aged. And, perhaps even more surprising, the Red sox have had-to put on a tremendous stretch drive to pull even with-Cleveland? No.The New Yorks Yankees, a collectionl of .260 hitters who have spent theseason trooping in and out of the infirmary but somehow have remnaxk-ably clung to first place.

These developments, besides -makitlg a lot of "experts " faces redl(including our own, although our picks, -the Sox and Dodgers, are still

in contention), threaten to create -confusion in the judging of thecontest. For example, if the Yankees and Cards should go on to wintheir pennants, we shall be faced with the situation of having no onepick the pennant winners correctly. Two entrants picked the Red Soxand Cardinals, while a Dodger-Yankee World Series was predicted byeight entrants.

According to the original rules of the contest, an entrant had topick both peninant winners in crder to qualify for the prize. This, of

course, will have to be changed inthe event of a Yankee-Cardinalvictory. Maybe we should consultProfessor Wiener -to get a mat~he-mati~cal formula for deter-mmingthe winner. However, we won'tworry about it too much. We'll Justsit back and -bite our fingernailslike everyone else while the nextfew exciting days determiile theultimzate winners.
