Bull Moose Club.fo add chapters

Officials of the National BullMoose Federation, attending theYoung Republician LeadershipTraining School in Washington,D.C. last week announced -thattwelve new clubs will soon jointheir organization.

The Federation is modeled af-ter the Bull Moose Party estab-lished by Theodore Roosevelt inthe 1912 campaign for the UnitedStates presidency. Fomunded atMIT in October, the Federationaims to "rebuild the RepublicanParty along more liberal lines."

Ralph Kopperman, the nation-al coordinator, has said, "Our ob-jective is not to split the Repub-lican party, but rather to bringout its progressive best. In ad-dition- to progressive Republi-cans," he continued, "there isroom for independents and evenfor Democrats who agree withour basic pu ." Bull Mow-ers "cannot condone the sacrificeof human dignty to prejudicethat wears the mask of individu-

Other members of the BullMoose National Committee areIrving Thomas, president of theMIT Club, John McLennan fromBU, and Don Weldon and EdwinKampmann from Mrr.

It-isn't easy to become an officer in the UnitedStates Army. Only the best young men are selected.The training and course of study are demanding.

Frosh mid-termsAlready we have heard some criti-

cism of the new freshman quiz systemintroduced by Undergraduate PlanningProfessor George E. Valley, Jr. The newplan, admittedly rather quickly con-structed, consists of one round of hourquizzes in physics, calculus, and chem-istry, then two-hour mid-terms, andfinally another round of hour quizzes.

Complaints have centered around thetwo-hour tests; some are afraid that thisis an excessive burden on the freshmen.But since the three tests will be given onThursday iind Friday, with Wednesdayoff for studying, there should be no prob-lem.

The spirit of the complaint, however,is bothersome. There is implication thatthe new system will hurt the freshmen'scums, and that the Institute is therefore"screwing" them. Such an attitude is aninsult to the judgment and the concern X

of the action's proponents. The main objective of the Institute is i

to teach the material. Many felt that theaiternating one-hour quizzes were ac-tually a detriment to efficient learning;studies made of the quiz cycle and its ef-fect on individuals tended to confirm this.The new system is an experiment to seewhether a comprehensive mid-term testwill motivate the student toward a morecontinuous method of study and a moreefficient method of learning than Thurs- cCday night cramming.

If the student takes care of his good Ischolarship habits, cum will, as usual, t]take care of itself. Of course, anyone who tfound the one-night cram sufficient to rpass a test may have to change his hab- its, and this may be annoying; however, ewe cannot feel too sympathetic. The re- (·~~~~~~~~~~~~~sults of the program remain to be seen; r

-.-frankly, anything is bound to be better ethan the quiz cycle. (

Stewart Awards .nThis Monday is the deadline for nom- i

inations for the Stewart'Awards honor- tEing outstanding contributions to student toactivities. Last year these awards were established to pay tribute to the oftenunrecognized work done by groups, lead-ers of organizations, or individual mem-bers.

The Stewart Awards have filled a realgap; for some time there had been noextensive public recognition for a largenumber of hard-working students whoseachievements were enjoyed by the wholecommunity. - Excellence in these fieldsshould now receive the credit given topathletic prowess or officers of studentgovernment.

Thus far not many nominations havebeen filed; certainly there is no lack of''qualified candidates. Anybody can makea nomination; we hope that all those whohave respect for the accomplishments ofa friend will pay him the compliment ofoffering his name.

LetterPSYCHOLOGICAL ERROR

To the Editor:Would it be too ungracious if

I were to ask for a brief correc-tion in your report of the speechI gave at annual Tech banqueton February 28 at Endicott House?It was a magnificent banquet andfull of cheer, but somehow theremust have been considerable noisein the channel between your guestspeaker and his audience. I sus-pect, of course, that most of thenoise was in the transmitter andnot in the receivers, but I amquite sure I did not intend to con-vey the description of the psychol-ogy program attributed to me onp. 3, column 3, of the Tech ofMarch 3, 1965.

I read there that I described thethree "prongs" of the program_as "human learning, neurologicaleffects, and clinical testing." Thedescription I gave there and else-where is rather different. It en-tails: (a) physiological psychology(studies of brain and behavior);(b) general experimental psy-chology studies of perception andlearning); and (c) social and de-velopment psychology (includingstudies on the early acquisition oflanguage, logic and social values).

To the uninitiated, the correc-tion may amount to little, but forpsychologists questions of how todefine their field loom large. Be-sides, your description has causedan upsurge of telephone requestsfor clinical testing service fromour department - still another in-dication of the power of the press!

But again, these three "prongs"aside, it was a lovely evening;many, many thanks for the invi-tation.

Hans-Lukas TeuberChairman,Department of Psychology

Apathy or spirit?To the Editor:

The UAP candidates have nowfinished running through the tra-ditional list of irrelevancies whichthey will vaguely either fight foror fight against or encourage ordevote all their energies or What-not, and the one that has never

failed to come up is the questionof the "apathy" of the MIT stu-dent body toward Student Gov-ernment and the lack of tradition-al "school spirit."

It is indeed true that the aver-age MIT student believes that stu-dent politics are worthless. He isin general much more concernedwith his own private interests(athletic, cultural, social, religi-ous, sexual, or even academic)than in running for some silly of-fice, attending uncheduled meet-ings of a "governing body" whichdoes nothing and in fact veryfew are sure even exists, or play-ing that wonderful spectatorsport so dear to the amateur pol-itidan, "Parliamentary Proced-ure. '

In any discussion of studentgcvernment, the one part of itwhich can be and has been use-ful to the MIT community is us-ually mentioned (I suspect thatthe reason it was barely mention-ed this time is that it no longerexists): that is the Student Com-mittee on Educational Policy.One of Martin Laandy's famouspolemics some time last yearseems to sum up the position ofSCEP: the head of the Commit-tee is quoted as saying very in-dignantly, "The Zacharias Coim-milttee is only interested in theTech Tool and not in SCEP_."Landy goes on to point out thatat the time all but one of themembers of that much-toatedpart of Student Government werein Courses XIV and XV, whichgives some notion of just how farthis group is from the mainstreamof MIT's academic life. Certainlythe Zacharias Committee couldnot have had much patience witha group of superior clean-cuttypes with no academic ambitionclaiming to represent the MITstudent body.

Dean Wadleigh in an interviewin The. Tech some years agospoke of the process of educationin terms of "scaling the greatgray wall," a morbid image in-deed. Certainly no one uniformlylikes everything about MIT (5.02,Friday quizzes, Prof Frisch...),

Techbut this belief that MIT's aca-demic side is just an ordeal to besomehow gotten through beforegoing out to a high-paying jobsomewhere seems to be unfor-tunately prevalent, and I-believethat it is the most unfortunatepart of MIT's spirit. It is inter-esting to note that there are stu-dents who actually like theirwork, and this does not seem todepend upon itheir grades. This isthe 'spirit' which MIT above allother schools should be trying tofester, and is not. Elsewhere asubstitute 'spirit' can be gener-ated in "Yea State" pep ralliesand sad Alma Maiter songs, butthe average MIT student is fartoo much of an individual to beaffected by this sort of nonsense,or the equivalent nonsense of am-ateur politics.

Don Wagner, 65(It is undeniable that there

are many on campus who haveno interest in student govern-ment and student-run activities.There may even be some whodo not share the benefits of thework done by SCEP (which isvery much in existence), theStudent Center Committee, theSpring Weekend Committee,the Freshman CoordinatingCommittee, and the rest. Theremay be some who do not goto LSC movies, read The Tech,attend concerts, or buy Tech-nique.

Many undergraduates- dochoose to ignore these services,as long as they continue to berun satisfactorily. Any hint ofmismanagement never fails tobring outraged protests; but thehundred other things done wellelicit no response.

To someone unconcernedwith the origins of the bene-fits he receives, it may be dif-ficult to connect student gov-ernment with his athletic, cul-tural, social or religious life.But all of these areas are sup-ported on campus by student-run organizations; all of themrely on student government forfinancial assistance, settling dis-putes, and other very practicalproblems.

It is a simple fact that under-graduate activities involve largesulims of money, and that theservices rendered for nothingby the students would cost theInstitute a pretty penny werethey not done by volunteers.

(Ed. note: This is the firstof a series of three articles writ-ten by Jim Taylor '65, who re-cently attended the InternationalCon~ rence of Students at Cor-neIfUJniversity. In this article,Tailor discusses some of theissues arising from a consider-ation of the purpose of a uni-versity education..)

A comprehensive examination ofthe purpose of university educa-tion within these confines of timeand space is as absurd as thesuggested 21.02 final exam ques-tion, "Discuss the world and itsimplications." Rather, I intend toraise some issues and suggestsome questions which arose whenthe delegates to the InternationalConference at Cornell attemptedto define the purpose of univer-sity education. I will then sunma-rize our general conclusions, de-veloping it as a framework withinwhich every nation may find itseducational system.

The first issue that comes tomind is the relation between nat-ional government and education.Should formal training in an ideol-ogy be mandatory? Should it betaught at all? Is it in a nation'sbest interests to "indoctrinate"the populace with the exdstingideology? In this country, young-sters are taught the Pledge ofAllegiance and respect for theflag in their formative years. InBritain, children are taught re-spect for the monarch and systemof government just as early. Isthis a duty of the educationalsystem? Perhaps several ideolo-gies should be taught, allowing thestudent flexibility to decide amongalternatives without bias; this isthe case in Lebanon, for example.Somewhere the balance betweencomplete freedom of expressionand complete domination by thestate must be struck.

The ancient "dchotomy ..whumanism and materialism mustalso be considered as it relatesto the government. Anyone whosuggests that every person inIndia be educated according tohis own abilities and interests, ir-respective of the needs of thecountry, is not being realistic. Insuch developing nations, the uni-versities are expected to providethe political leaders to run thecountry, the scientists to deal withthe supply and demand problemof food and population, the engin-eers to create cities out of wild-ernesses. Philosophers, poets and Imusicians are a luxury in suchnations. There is simply no roomfor them in the educational sys-tem.

In a developed country such asSwitzerland, however, educationmore nearly fulfills the classicalrole of education for the masses,making man aware and appreci-ative of his environment. H e r e,instruction can be devoted tobringing out the potential energiesof the individuals. This is theJeffersonian philosophy wherebya society moves ahead as awhole; tis is where the "libe-ralyeducated" man is the adaptableman; this is where man can morenearly control his environmentthan be controlled by it.

Yet another question is the roleof the university vis-a-vis thegovernment. Should educationalinstitutions serve as forums forinterpretation and discussion ofof political issues? Should the uni-versity be critical of national poli-cies--and take an active hand ininfluencing them? Just where doesthe faculty stand with respect tothe rest of the society? It happensin other countries that universityprofessors assume a dual role.They must be above their society,looking objectively at its flawsand suggesting remedies. At thesame time, they must be part ofthe society they are criticizing.In a nation such as West Germ-any, professors are at the top ofthe social ladder in terms of pres-tige, status and influence. H o wdoes the educational system re-cognize this? In what ways doeseducation prepare a man to acceptthe responsibilities of being apolitical leader? The United States

has a long tradition of separationof - government and education.What effect does this have on theperformance of these respectivefunctions? To what extent is thisdesirable and to what extent isthis avoiding responsibility?

The conclusion that these ques-tions suggest in terms of an in-ternational purpose of education,is that "no such animal exists."Education is necessarily relativeto the development of environ-ment in its social, political andeconomic aspects. For y o un gstruggling countries this meansthe purpose of education is direct-ly related to the needs of thecountry. For older, establishedcountries, education must still sat-isfy the needs of the country. Inthe latter case, however, the ful-fillment of those needs is lesssensitive to a particular mode ofeducation. More time and effortcan be devoted to educating theso-called "whole man." Samuel-son's classic example of guns andbutter is a good analogy. Educa-tion must choose, in this cae,how much energy to devote totoday's urgencies, how much totomorrow's problems. Two hun-dred million teachers in In d iawould make that country the mostliterate nation on earth, if it sur-vived.

rexam inedThe conclusion that no common

ground for international educa-tion exists, is not supported by theabove arguments. The fact re-mains that the developed coun-tries have experienced the grow-ing pains with the accompanyingeffects on educational institutions.Experience, even someone else's,is a valuable teacher. In addition,these countries give developingcountries some notion of wherethey're going. Accordingly, suchideas as junior year abroad, for-eign exchange students, and for-eign students in U. S. universitieshave developed and are currentlythriving.

It is in these ways and forthese reasons that education canand must span the gap betweenthe "haves" and the "have-nots,"between the "rich" and the"poor" countries, between the de-veloping and the developed coun-tries. The day of a universal pur-pose of education is not here, butit is coming.

(Next week, Taylor will dis-cuss the problem of student-faculty-administration relations,with particular emphasis on thbstudent's role, both inside andoutside the university.)

Economists' poll shows MIT faculty second;MIT program rated first in effectiveness

A poll of economists at 85 col-leges across the country has re-vealed that the economists con-sider the quality of the faculty re-sponsible for the graduate pro-gram in economics at MiT secondonly to that of the Harvard facil-ty, and the MIT program the mosteffective in the nation.

As Professor Paul A Samuelson

noted to Newsweek magazne,"We're Avis. We try harder."

Allan M. Cartter, Vice-Presidentof the American Council on Edu-cation, announced the results ofthe poll, but the outcome was notunexpected according to ProfessorRobert L. Bishop, who was "grat-ified but not surprised."

According to Professor Bishop,Acting Dean of the School of Hu-mranities and Social Science, theMIT program now typically at-tracts more National ScienceFoundation fellows than the offer-ings im economics of any otherschool.

The radio. physics research alsoincludes a variety of topics inwhich the interactions betweenfields and particles provide thebasis for exploring physical orchemical processes. The tech-niques applied to the studies cov-er much of the electromagneticspectrum, including x - rays, opti-

Radio AstronomyIn the area of radio astronomy,

the most important achievement,according to Prof. H. J. Zimmer-man, was the detection of the18-centimeter absorption lines ofthe hydroxyl (OH) radical in theradio absorption spectrum of Cas-siopeia A, thereby providing posi-tive evidence for the existence ofOH in the interstellar m e d i um.The measurements were made byProf. A. H. Barrett in collabora-tion with staff members of theMIT Lincoln Laboratory using the84 - foot parabolic antenna atMillstone Hill and a spectal - lineautocorrelation radiometer design-ed by Dr. S.

Optical Radar SystemAn optical radar system using

an optical maser as the trans-mitter has been used by Prof. G.Fiocco to detect meteoric d u s tparticles in the upper atmosphere.Scattering layers' were observedat 60 to 80 kilometers and at 120kilometers.

The optical radar has also beenused to observe the aerosol layerin the atmosphere at a height ofabout 20 kilometers. During thesummer of 1964 additional obser-vations' were made in Alaska andSweden in order to study the at-mospheric scattering by the aero-sol layer in concomitance with theappearance of noctilucent clouds.The results of these tests, stillin the process of evaluation, arebelieved to be relevant to the dy-namnics of these clouds in theirpassage from twilight to darknessconditions.

Maser oscillator noiseMeasurements of optical maser

oscillator noise were reported byProf. H. A. Haus about a yearago. During the past year it wasound that these masers can haveimplitude. modulation noise caus-ed by plasma fluctuations, andhat they also may operate in a'quiet" state in which no noisenodulation is observable. Meas-Hrements of the amplitude fluctu-.tions of helium - neon opticalnaser oscillations both below andhbove threshold in the "qui e t"tate of operation have beennade successfully.

Noise spectrum studiesThe measurements below thresh-

Id show that the only majorontribution to the noise spectrum; that of the amplified spontan-ous emission. As predicted byleory, a narrowing of the spec-rum is observed as threshold ispproached. The measurementsbove threshold show, again thatnder carefully adjusted operatingonditions, the noise is causedlainly by the spontaneous emis-ion.As the threshold excitation isKceeded more and more, theoi s e spectrum widens and de-reases in'relative amplitude, asredicted by a semi-classical the-ry treating the maser as a van.r Pol oscillator. These measure-ents were made at Lincoln Lab-atory in cooperation with Mr.Freed.

Cambridge police encounter25 Years Ago

With the smoke of battle safelycleared away dormitory residentsyesterday recalled many amusingsidelights of their first encounterof the year with the Cambridgepolice.

One of the first victims of thestudents' snow barricade was anautomobile driven by a BostonUniversity student. With him inthe car was a young woman.When the car was halted by thewall of snow, the couple weregreeted withl a torrential hail ofsnowballs.

The pair were not without re-taliation, however. Stepping fromthe car, the young student shout-ed to the attackers, "Just a bunchof cowards... why don't youbuild a good wall?" This rebuffonly brought on a heavier fusil-lade, forcing the driver back intothe safety of his automobile. Fur-ther jeers and snow balls, how-ever, brought the student .outsideagain.

The Techof the world's life.

MIT's spirit is indeed the en-joyment of the tasks to be ac-com plished. There are imma-ture harpers whose only phraseis "Tech is hell." But few ofthem are found in student gov-eminent. Anyone with a jgoodperspective on' the whole ofMIT life enjoys it; anyonewhose mind is chained to thelab desk is bound to abhor it.

Our "amateur politics," likeour amateur tamsic and our am-ateur publications and-our am-ateur lab projects, is part- fthe education available; but notforced, at MIT. This breadthof opportunity makes the Insti-tute great; takinZ advantage ofit makes the student successful.-Ed.)

The importanceof Inscomm

By DoWglas C. Spreng·Chairmn, PR

When I took over the duties ofPublic Relations C o m m i t t e eChairman last year around iistime, my knowledge of studentgovernment was perhaps vague albest. Now, after a year of work-ing actively with these who com-prise it, I feel as if I should tryto convey to ,all undergraduatesthe importance oF its existeeand the benefits that are derivedfrom being an integral pat of it.

I never fail to wince when ihear Inscomm referred to as a"glory spot" from which littleworthwhile emanates and wheremuch worthless discussion takesplace in the name of student gov-ernment. The reasons for thesefeelings afe, I am sure, based ona large cxtent on the lack ofpublicity and a certain amount ofapathy on the part of those whoare not aware of the beneffit theyreceive from student government.

Without such activities and pro-jects as Christmas Convocation,Spring Weekend, Junior Prom,Freshman Weekend, Intercollegi-ate Conference, Summer WorkAbroad, Freshman Feedback, Op-en House, Presidential StrawVote, Social 'Calendar. StudentCenter, and the $60,000 ActivityBudget, the Institute Would be aless desirable place to spend fouryears. Yet 'hese are only a fewof the many benefits that eman-ate from student government. No-where else do the students at auniversity influence the activitythat arises outside of the class-room as they do here at MIT.Nowhere else in the country dostudents have as much freedomand trust to operate these activi-ties on their own as they do hereat MIT. As a result, nowhere elsedo students have the opportunity

as they do under this great sys-tem.

Furthermore, these student-runorganizations do not simply oper-ate automatically. They are onlythe result of much lime and ef-

I should like to compare stu-dent government with a large in-dustrial organization. Inside acorporation, there are those whoperform the actual task of pro-ducing the items. Each produc-tion group has a foreman who or-ganizes their actions, watches forproblems, and sees that their pro-ductivity is maximized. Over allthese people, one finds the Presi-dent and the Corporation Board,comprised of experienced men in

the essence of our present corpor-ate system. Although the analogyis not perfect, one can clearly seethe identities of subcommitteemembers, - subcomnmittee chair-men, the UAP, and Institute Com-mittee with their respective coun-terparts.

I hope that those who feel theyhave been deprived of completemknowledge concerning student gov-

ernment at MIT will read thesefour pages carefully. Even thoughthis article cannot possibly con-vey all infomiation about MIT'sstudent government it should cre-ate a far greater understandingthan has heretofore been estab-

quired duties of secretarial workfor Inscomm, the Secretariat hastaken on a number of extra proj-ects.

The standing functions of theSecretariat include handling bul-letin boards and booths in Building10, checkildng the constitutions of

various activities, and runningclass elections.

After the UAP and class elec-tions, it will examine whether ornot the campaign period was longenough (3½ weeks). It was short-ened so that the new Inscomimwould have more time to start itswork second term. Secretariat will

also be checking to see if the es-tablishment of the class executivecommittee had the desired effect:to prevent several qualified menfrom running for the same officeand elim.inating each other.

Two other special responsibilitieshave been worked -on. The firstwas the annual Christmas Convo-cation presented for the entireMIT community last December atwhich Dean Harrison spoke. Thesecond is the upcoming Junior Sci-ence Symposium which is a con-ference held for outstanding stu-dents from local high schools.

The Mock Election kept Secre-tariat busy during the middle ofthe first term. This was a coordi-nated effort with the major politi-cal clubs to arouse some interestin the national election and bringto light the important issues. Theelection turnout was very encour-aging; more people voted than atany other campus election duringthe past few years.

Under reorganization, the re-sponsibilities of the Freshman Co-ordinating Committee w i I 1 beturned over to the Secretariat. Theprimary duty is the organizing andplanning of the Freshman Orienta-tion Weekend. This should be avery good change. First, the workwill be handled by an efficient,well-established group, and sec-ond, it will be a project which wltget the newly-elected sophomoremembers quickdly involved in stu-dent government.

Reorganization isInscomm's task

This year has been one of greatSignificance for Institute Com-mittee.

Reorganization was the largestproject undertaken and its resultsare starting to take seed now. Theentire Constitution and By-laws ofthe Undergraduate Associationwere surveyed and a large partwas rewritten to clear up am-biguities or to redefine Inscomm'srange of activity and its power.

There can be no doubt that,when a few small stumblingblocks are eliminated or amend-ed, the new Constitution and By-laws will be approved.

How reorganization will affectthe environment of committees,ASA activities, all-campus pro-jects, class governments, and thestudent in general is given on thefollowing two pages. A detailedaccount of its structural changeis included. Nothing stated isfinal.

Inscomm began its term ofoffice last year by settling a dis-pute between the Social ActionCommittee and Technology Com-munity Association. Soon after, itcommenced discussion on the pos-sibilities of reorganization and anIntercollegiate Conference. Thesummer group was formed tostudy our student governmentalstructure. Inscormm reconvened inthe fall and discussed the possi-bilities of various projects, amongthem the Kennedy Library Fundand the Straw Vote.

Spring Weekend CommitteeStudent Center Committee

Christmas Convocation

The reorganizational proceduresthat have taken place in studentgovernment in the last year canbe placed into two categories:1) Structurally, and 2) Philosophi-cally. The need for these changesbecame apparent primarily be-cause of the new Student Centerand drastic changes in- ActivitiesCouncil. In addition to this, a de-sire was- expressed to keep In-stitute Conmmittee to within reas-onable size and provide b e t t e rcommunication between variousgroups.

The Old Structurelnscomm's Purpose

The chart on the left will serveto illustrate the structure of thep r e s e n t Institute Committee.It consists of sixteen voting mem-bers and various subcommitteechairmen. With the UndergraduateAssociation President acting aspresiding officer, Inscomm oper-ates essentially as a "discussionboard" for reviewing c a m p u sissues, planning new projects, andseeing that all aspects of studentg o v e r n m e n t are functioningsmoothly. It represents the broad-est opinion group on campus.

Voting Members

There, is heard, the voice of thedormitories, the InterfraternityConference, Association of Wom-en Students, Non - Resident Stu-dent Association, Activities Coun-cil, Athletic Association, and theClass Presidents. While many oth-er people may attend Inscommmeetings, it is these men andwomen who decide the major stu-dent governmental issues by ex-ercising their voting privilegeswith regard to Inscomm legisla-tion and policies.

Permanent SubcommitteesThe subcommittee structure is

found directly beneath the votingmembers. A complete list ofstanding committees lies to thefar left and right. These are divid-ed into two categories. The Perm-anent Subcommittees are thosewhich f u n c t i o n continuouslythroughout the school year. Theirchairmen sit on Inscomm but donot have a vote. Rather, theirpresence is necessary to adviseInscomm when the need arisesand to report on the progress oftheir activities. In contrast, manyideas may be handed down tothem by the voting body to aidthem in thefr work and to providefresh channels of expansion.

Temporary & SpecialSubcommittees

The Temporary or Special Sub-conummittee are those w h o s eactivities extend over a shortperiod of time or-occur sporadical-ly from year to year. For in-stance, Christmas Convocation,which occurs every year and isorganized by students, realistical-ly does not require constant acti-vity throughout the year for thosewho produce it. Therefore, it fallsinto the category of Special Sub-committees. The IntercollegiateConference Committee orgnly existsby an act of Inscormm and doesnot operate at all when there isno impending conference. E v enthough it may be extremely activeprior to the conference, it. is ac-cordingly dissolved when the con-ference is ended. Thus, it is aTemporary -Subcommittee. Thechairmen of these committeesgenerally do not attend Inscommmeetings unless they are called into report on their progress andfuture plans.

An Academic Interlude

Clearly, the majority of the vis-ible. work produced by studentgovernment is manifested by theabove committees, who spend lit-.erally thousands of man-hours incarrying out their programs. Theresult is that MIT becomes muchmore than just a place to studyclassroom material, it is a placewhere one can both benefit fromand contribute to activities outsideof the academic whirlpool.

The Executive Council

The Inscomm Executive Councilis perhaps one of the least knownand most influential groups oncampus. It is comprised of theUAP, the chairmen of F i n a n c eBoard and Secretariat, and onemember - at - large. The member-at- large is elected by Inscommearly in the year and must beone of the sixteen voting mem-bers.

These four men are responsiblefor interviewing candidates for of-fices elected by Insconmmn, prim-arily those seeking subcommitteechairmanships. The ExecutiveCouncil then relays their opinionson to the rest of the voting mem-bers of Inscomm at the electionmeeting.

Further CoatributionsIn addition to these duties, they

discuss issues and new policies in

detail so as to spare Inscommlengthy debate on these topics.The Executive Council will visitdeans and call in various activ-ity leaders and other sources ofifformation such as subcommitteechairmen in order to present allfacets of the topic in question tothe voting members. There is nodoubt that an Executive Councilproposal or decision carries agreat deal-of weight with it.

The New Structure

The question of reorganizationbasically centers around oneword: efficiency. How can Ins-comm and its subcommitteesfunction most effectively, b o t hin debate and action? Last spring,a summer committee which wouldwork during the summer wasformed to look into the questionin detail by interviewing activityleaders, subcommittee chairmen,and other informed persons. Aftermany hours of questions, answers,and discussion, the group arrivedat certain conclusions.

THE A A Seat

A survey of the voting member-ship reveals certain problems. TheAthletic Association President seatis designed to give athletics theirvoice in student government. How-ever, the A has such a su-uog,self-sufficient structure of its own,that it is equipped to handle anyproblems that arise within itsbody. Furthermore, the last twoAA Presidents have both express-ed lack of interest in the proceed-ings of student government.Advantages of the AA's Presence

However, it is recognized byboth parties that a great deal of

,mutual benefit can be derived byhaving athletics and student gov-ernment tied together. Their struc-tures are quite similar and organ-izational problems can be solvedby consultation between the two.Furthermore, it appears that ab-solute autonomy between athleticsand student government is un-desirable; the vastness of theathletic program calls for its ownrepresentation just as does theactivities program under ActivitiesCouncil.

In view of the above, there islittle doubt that the AA will re-tain their Inscomm seat.

The N RSA Seat

The Non-Resident Student As-sociation seat has been questionedbecause of its hazy definition of

representation. Although hundredsof students are non - residents,only about one hundred fifty areclaimed as active members, onlyninety - one were listed in thescholastic standings, and only onehundred voted in the last electionfor Inscomm representative. Com-pare these figures with B u r t o nHouse (531), Baker House (348),East Campus- (404), and the IFC(1134). The problem then exists:How many people are really be-ing represented, hundreds or justninety - one?

Its CeMibutlis

On the other side of the argu-ment, it is held that NRSA isextremely active in intramuralsports, activities on campus, andathletics, and should be treated nodifferently than any living groupsimply because the members don'tlive under the same roof. Theyalso represent a unique point ofview.

The Bexley Hall Dilemma

Bexley Hall presents anotherproblent. Its internal governmentis based upon a rotating chair-manship. Unlike the other dormi-tories which elect a president andexecutive committee for an en-tire year, Bexley's officers varyfarm .~nvth to monnth. They havesolved the tnscomm problem, how-ever, by electing an Inscomm re-presentative for the entire schoolyear. The objection to this is thatmany people hold the living grouppresident as the most informedperson in his group and fthat Bex-ley, having no such office, is notrepresented correctly. On the oth-er hand, many others considerthese arguments quite invalid andbelieve that Bexley's voting seatshould, indeed, be retained.

A prediction can be made atthis time since there is a major-ity in both the Bexley Hall orNRSA cases, They shal probablyretain their voting seats.

SubcommittesThe "'new" chart on the right-,

hand page reveals the formationof a third category. Going by thename of Administrative Subcom-mittees, the new constitution callsfor the chairman of each to siton the Inscomm Executive Coun-cil along with the UAP. Compari-son with the "old" chart will re-veal that the member - at - largehas been dropped, Student CenterCommittee and Activities Councilhave been added, while Secretar-

iat and Finance Board have beretained.

Increased Importanceof the Student Center

The reasoning for this changedue to many new situations have recently arisen. The concerns the Student Center.

A Complex Problem

However, it is generally felt thatan organization such as ISCshould exist, even though it is notobvious where it fits into activitiesor student government. No heavymajority exists either way at themoment and this topic will be dis-cussed before a decision is reach-ed.

The Temporary and Special Sub-committees will be left intact.

The New Freshman Council

The Freshman Council has beenreorganized by living groups.Wherefore, in the past, C o u n c i iwas elected by sections, thirty-five in number, it shall now con-sist of sixty-eight regular mem-bers: Fraternities, 28; B u r t o nHouse, 10; Alumni Houses, 10;Baker House, 6; Senior House, 6;McCormick Hall, 3; NRSA, 2;Bexley Hall, 2; and StudentHouse, 1. It is hoped that this ar-rangement will provide bettercooperation from all living groupsand strengthen the activities of theFreshman Council accordingly.

Class Officers Revamped

As most students now realize,the class officer system has beenaltered. The President has beenretained, but the vice - Presidentand Secretary - Treasurer posi-tion s have been replaced by theExecutive Committee. For theSeniors and Sophomores, the Ex-ecComm is comprised of threemembers and for the Juniors itis six members. Those elected inthe Junior Class will automatical-ly form the Junior Prom Commit-tee and the President will be theJP Chairman who will report toInscomm the progress of his com-mittee.

The New Philosophy"The Overview Function"

Upon seeing that no concretedefinition of powers existed in theold Undergraduate AssociationConstitution, a new Constitutionwas written which more carefullydefined Inscomm's position withrespect to committees, activities,

and over-all student welfare. Thediscussion of Inscomnm's philoso-phy led to the coining of a newcliche: the overview f u n c t i o n.Essentially, overview consists ofa definition of strength, that is,what Inscomm can discuss, whatit can legislate, and how it canenforce its legislation.

Discussion

After examining the pros andcons, it was concurred that any-thing which affects the generalMIT community may be discussedby Inscomm if it sees fit. By thewords "if it sees fit," it is meantonly that discussion must be askedfor by a member. At any pointin the debate, someone may chal-lenge the importance of the topic,and if a majority is in favor ofcontinuing the debate, it shall con-tinue. If a majority is not found,the topic in question will be drop-ped. Furthermore, discussion ofthe topic does not necessarilyimply that any action will be tak-en, rather, this is one method toadvise a group, committee, orindividual, or to-become better in-formed of the issue at hand.

Action

It is generally felt by membersof Inscomm that action or legis-lation should not take place whenthe issue concerns an internal af-fair of a living group. Since thedornmitory presidents and the In-terfraternity Conference are usual-ly equipped to deal with problemssuch as these, Inscomm may onlyadvise in these matters. However,if such a situation develops intoone of a non- internal nature orif the dorm president or IFCshould not be able to control thesituation, then it becomes justifi-able for Inscomm to review thecase and issue either a recom-mendation or mandate.

Enforcement

How can any such mandate beenforced? Where is the power ofInscomm located when it makes

a decision? The answer lies large-ly in the administration. The of-fice of the Dean of Student Af-fairs, the Dean of Residence, andthe Faculty Judicial Committee allcarry the powers of enforcement.Naturally, Inscomm must h a v etheir support in such a matter.

Another source of power is inthe student body itself. Any de-cision of Inscomm may be chal-lenged and if the majority of theundergraduate students c o n c u rwith the decision, it remains in-tact and enforcement can be aid-ed by the general will of the stu-dents.

Further Action

What is the relation betweenInscomm's activities, and classgovernments? The feeling is near-ly unanimous on both points. Afterthe reorganization of the ActivitiesCouncil and its definition of pow-ers, all activities will be subjectto review by the Council. In thecase of an inter-activity disputeor a question of ethical behavior,Activities Council will be calledupon to settle the entire matter.It is, therefore, not expected thatany Inscomm directive wouldever occur. However. Inscomm ex-ercises total overview for allactivities and, therefore, overActivities Council, also. If a situ-ation should arise where it be-comes necessary for Inscomm tointervene in matters concerningeither an individual activity orActivities Council as a whole, itmay do so.

Class Government-s

Likewise, Inscomm will reservethe right of complete overviewconcerning the class governments.If the officers of any class attemptto undertake a project or break aprecedent that Inscormm deemsdetrimental to undergraduates inany way, a recommendation ormandate to these officers will ne-cessarily follow. A good case inpoint would be that of a class-sponsored function which, 'to allappearances, will throw a classfar into debt. The action takenwould clearly be for the benefitof the class. Methods of enforcingthis mandate would be through

the administration and FinanceBoard, which controls all mone-tary flow.

Subcommittee Overview

Once again, a nearly unanimousdecision has been reached in re-gard to subcommittees. Since allsubcommittees chairmen are elec-ted by the Institute Committee,the members of Inscomm havethe privilege to remove (by a 2/3majority vote) any chairmanwho they feel is unworthy of his,position. Furthermore, c h o i c eof members and project formula-tion are subject to total reviewin any case where it is found ne-cessary. This does not mean thatsubcommittees have no freedomor flexibility;it only means that ifan undesirable situation o c c u r swithin a subcommittee, Inscommhas defined methods of eliminat-ing the problem. Subcommitteesthen remain free to innovate pro-jects and carry them out as theysee fit but they are protected byoverview from falling into a dang-erous state of affairs.

Subcommittee Specifications

To eliminate "dead horse" sub-committees from continuing as aninert part of Inscomm, all tempor-ary and special sub committeeswill undergo certain specificationsas to length and tenure of exist-ence at their inception. These con-ditions will be specified by theInscomm at that time. If no speci-fications are placed on such acommittee, it will become defunctwhen the new Inscomm/takes overunless the new group decides toretain it and accordingly v o t e sto retain its existence.

Future Importance

The adoption of this Constitu-tion will be, it is hoped, a step toincrease the efficiency and over-all effectiveness of our p r e s e n tsystem of student government;to strengthen the regard in whichthe administration already holdsit, and to promote the g e n e r a 1welfare of the undergraduate bodyfor which it stands.

Just what will be going -on inthe structure under that bigorange crane, anyway?

While no one has a crystal ballhandy, the Student Center Com-rittee has been tackling problemsconcerning the physical details ofthe Center, its operation and ad-ministration, and introducing theInstitute community to its facili-ties.

During the spring and fall of1964, the Committee worked onthe physical lay-out of the build-ing. Final plans for the activitiesfloor and recreational areas werediscussed and approved, with theconsultation of the lDean's Office,Professor Eduardo Catalano, ofthe Department of Architecture,and James Murphy, Assistant Su-perintendent of Building Services.

The new Student Center, scheduled to be finished by-next fall, will house activities, arecreational area, and a Reserve Reading Room.

The Committee's status in rela-tion to the Institute has provensomewhat more difficult to defineoIt is certain athat undergraduates-will hold responsibility in thearea of scheduling facilities andprogramming certain areas. Theywill also havre-the job of provid-ing a channel of communicationbetween the various groups and'interests using and concernedwith the Center.

Among the unfinished tasks isthat- of makdng the administrativestructure explicit. Tie presentcommittee hopes to complete thisbefore leaving office.

Problems remainTwo of the many remaining un-

solved problems will face the nextcommittee even before the Cen-ter is occupied. Furniture, tenan-cy, and capital changes consti-tute one of the problems. Althoughit is fairly clear that most fur-nishings in the activities officeswill be purchased by the Insti-tute, their exact ownership hasyet to be determined. The natureof tenancy in those offices, alongwith the mechanisms for makingcapital changes elsewhere in thebuilding, also must be established.

The second problem facing theCommittee is that of introducingthe Institute community to theCenter and its facilities. Dedica-tion ceremonies are in the discus-sion stage, and a large Endicot~tconference is being planned fortis spring. 'However, the Com-midttee's task is far from com-pletion.

University October 16, 17, and 18.After attending this conference,the Committee reaffirmed its po-

ticipation it elicits and ir the free-dom given the participants. Inview of this, the Student CenterCommittee report states, "It hasbecome quite clear that the Stu-dent Center's contribution to thecommunity would be nOUfied itits administration entailed theloss of autonomy and freedom."

The Committee's problems havebeen compounded by the currentInscomm reorganization.

Last fall, Inscomm created aConference Committee "to investi-gate the possibility of holding anintercollegiate conference at Mrrand possible topics for such anevent."

The general guideline for topicchoice was that the topic shouldbe an issue which affects collegestudents now and, possibly evenmore important, in their yearsafter school. From a list of seventopics considered by the conunit-tee, the subject of urban affairswas chosen.

The main effort of the FCCChairman this year has- beento motivate the reorganizationchanges regarding FreshmanCouncil and Freshman Orientation.In the future, the Secretariat willhave the responsibility for run-ning Freshman Orientation; thiswill remove the need for creatinga rommittee with a two-monthfunction.

Freshman Council has two mainpurposes: providing an orguma-tional basis for freshman parti-cipation in Field Day and develop-ing politicians. This year's Fresh-man Council broke records forBeaver Pin sales. A FreshmanLeadership Conference was con-ducted February 20, just beforeelection and committee formation.

The FCC has made a few sug-gestions for the future. They are:a) organization of registration,with a minirnwn of speeches anda minimum of distributed mater-ial; b) elimination of the psycho-logical test; and c) elimination ofthe mixer.

This year's Open House, to takeplace April 10, has gotten ofE toa good and early start, accordingto the Open House Committee.

Close contact between the Com-rmittee and the faculty has beenestablished. Liaison faculty mem-bers have been set up in the va-rious departments and labs. Com-mittee members are in-close con-tact with these liaison and withmembers of the administration.

Open House Committee is at-tempting to obtain the coopera-tion of the honorary societies inthe various departments to pro-vide valuable help to the faculty.A $100 prize will be awarded tothe department having the dis-play judged to be indicative ofthe highest amount of student par-ticipation and public interest.

program baled on the principle ofdecentralization. was set up for thefall term 1964. SCEP's role in thisprogram included- arranging meet-ings between course heads andtu~tors.

Working again with the Schoolof Humanities and Social Sciences,SCEP has set up a group of sixseminars in the areas of humam-ties and social sciences for hisisspring term. The seminar will con-sist of a faculty member visitinga living group for dinner and twoevening meetings over a three-veedk Peio. Burttca Hous, Baker

House, Senior House. Sigma AlphaMu, Phi Mu Delta, and Pi Lamb-da Phi are the six living groupsparticipating.in this program.

A detailed year-long study offeedback in the classroom has re-cently been completed. The basicconclusion was that feedbackshould play a larger part in theteaching process at AI. Present-ly, the results of the study arebeing discussed with faculty mem-bers.

Overseas worklocaied by F&

The goal of the Foreign Oppor-tunities Coimittee is to makeavailable alternatives to a hurriedEuropean tour or a transplant typeof junior year abroad program.

Such opportunities are ones thatprovide insight into and apprecia-tion of foreign attitudes that shouldfollow a trip abroad. One very at-tractive approach for the MIT stu-dent involves foreign summer tech-nical work; language requirementsare not severe, teciumcat experi-ence is not forfeited, and academ-ic work is not interrupted.

In cooperation with the place-ment office, the FOC placed a trialgroup of 20 students last summer,with excellent results. Both gradu-ates and undergraduates partici-pated. A second,. slightly larger,groupo has been placed for- thisyear. Somne of the countries towhich students have 'been sent areFrance, Germany, Sweden_ andEngland.

The FOC has been working withProf. John Norton, Institute For-eign Study Advisor, on study yearpossibilities.

(Coiint.,ed from Page 7)for comparison with cesium andhydrogen atomic clocks is alsoin progress. A promising deviceis the two cavity ammonia maserwhich overcomes some of the in-herent difficulties of the singlecavity maser. The origin of cer-tain frequency dependences is cur-rently being investigated.

A cesium clock of moderatelength incorporating a number ofnove features is in development.Every effort is being made to con-trol and minimize the known sour-ces of frequency instability, ac-cording to Prof. G. G. Harvey.

The electronics required to gen-erate frequncies and lock themto resonances has been extensive-ly improved and has made pos-sible a factor of 1 improvementin the inter-comparison of com-mercial atomic clocks to the pointwhere their temperature apd mag-netic field dependence are nowthe dominant effects. Meaningful

niques to measure this stabilityare also being investigated.

Microwave spectroscopyThe work of Prof. M. W. Strand-

berg and Prof. R. L. Kyhl in themicrowave spectroscopy groupwas principally concerned withparamagnetic resonance phenomastudied with electromagnetic radi-ation and the properties of metalsstudied-with both hypersonic andelectromagnetic waves. The tech-niques for using microwave ultra-sonics have been developed bothhere and elsewhere to the pointwhere these high frequency soundwaves have become useful forprobing the electronic propertiesof metals.

this year's Tech Show is a riot.Set in the Florence of the ItalianRenaissance, 'You Gdtta HaveArt' concerns two impoverishedstudents who must raise seven-teen hundred florens tuition forthe Florence Institute of Arts andSciences. They arrive at the casaof that patron of the arts, Sig-nore Luigi Mecidi, seeking a spon-sore, only to be mistaken for pro-fessors from the Institute. Theyare hired as tutors for the eightMecidi children and the fun be-gins. For the next two hourseverything from the Institute toGoldwater gets battered amid aninteresting mrxture of the fif-teenth and twentieth centries.

Tech Show has always beenplagued by lack of practice time.This year's production is no ex-ception; the music and scriptwere finished a mere two weeksago and final changes in the chor-eography appeared five days be-fore opening night. But, unlikeprevious years, the performershave not let unfamiliarity ruintheir presentation.

Several actors threaten to stealthe show from each other. A de-tailed description of their talentswould fill too many inches, butthe most outstanding deservemention. David Fan, as the FooMan Chou alchemist Tetrazini,again proves his ability to useevery prop, every gesture to pre-sent his role. With his black goa-tee and flowing cape, he pre-sents a fascinating caricature ofscience and evil.

Constance U11er is wellu knownto anyone familiar with the. Gil-bert and Sullivan Society. In herusual professional manner sheplays the ideal Italian mother,complete with barbed tongue andfast temper.

Linda Sheldon, as the maid inlove with Pledacello, makes herpart a major one, even though itwas probably not written as Such.Her expressions and gestus are

the students, determined to enterthe Institute so that their fortuneswill be assured. Their best sceneis the painting of a replacementfor one of Medidi's masterpiecesthat Tetrazini Stole in revenge for'being dismissed as tutor. (The en-tire plot is even more complica-ted.) The original "Bontacessa" isa piece of pop art that true con-noisseurs would love but tIe stu-dent's version looks unusually likea certain Da Vinc painting, hid-eous to the practiced eyes of theMlecidi's.

Every farce must have its buf-foon and Norman Rubdn fits thepart beautifully. With his jewelencrusted globe of the ninespheres and his two-foot shoes,he would bring a laugh just stand-ing on. the stage.

By Norm WagonerUnlike Teshigahara's "Woman

In The Dunes" (reviewed in thiscolumn last week without nameor meaning), Ibsen's "When WeDead Awaken," now playing atthe Hotel Bostonian, is dispirited.Written in 1899, this play comesas a somber conclusion to Ibsen'slong career as poet-dramatist,naturalist, social critic, psycholo-gist.

"When We Dead Awaken" re-volves around a sculptor namedRubek who has formed himselfinto an idolater rather than anartist. Worshiping an Aestheticswhich is cold and abstract, avoid-ing passion toward it or the peo-ple whom he uses for it, Rubekhas "locked himself into a box,"dead. He is like a run-down PeerGynt who has fled from realityinto illusion.

This is but one of the delightful scenes you will encounterat this year's Tech Show 'You Gofta Have Art.' Who says M.I.T.is a place for uncouth, ill-cultured tools, with no originality?

The costumes, besides provid-ing the proper setting for thisfarce, are specifically designedfor the parts. Most of the girlscouldn't Handle their trains, andit is surprising that the menagreed to wear their tights, buteven so the costumes add im-mensely to the performance.

The music is no less suited tothe. show. A strange balance be-tween strings, reeds, French,horns and a harpsichord pro-vides the right mellow suptportfor the singers, besides promoting

a Renaissance mood. The over-ture may be a bit lengthy; butan intereting theme and excel-lent orchestration make it worthlistening to. Nowhere does the or-chestration drown out the sing-ing, a difficult accomplishment inKresge.

Taken as a whole, or in part,'You Gotta Have Art' is a laugha minute. It is no wonder thecast has done such a fine job;they must enjoy every minuteof it.

With dramatic exposition whichextends right to the end of theplay, Ibsen reveals Rubek's past"episode" with Irene, now insane,who was Rubek's model for his"Resurrection," a tableau of fig-ures half-emergent from .theearth, suspended between life anddeath. Irene idealized their pla-tonic affair to the point where shehad to leave him, now thinks her-self dead, and- walks about en-shrouded in w--''.

Afterwards, Rubek married Ma-ja, with her expecting him to giveher glory and showher the world.Not only did he fail at this, buthe seems to have rejected her,so that in the first act she is bit-terly sardonic. But when shemeets Ulfhejm, a lively woods-man, she bounces around like alittle girl who has a chance to"show" her guardian, pique hisinterest, and have a good timeas well. At least, she emergesfrom the play more alive thaneither Rubek or Irene. As per-haps inevitable for all Romantics,Rubek aniid Irene Collapse in theirown style of Death Swoon at theend.

"When We Dead Awaken" is astudy in psychopathology whichindicts much of the degenerateromanticism of Ibsen's day. Theplay condemns any Art which di-vorces itself from reality (Art forArt's Sake) as irredeemably dead;thus the heavy irony in the poetryof the title.

David Wheeler's production sus-

tains an eeriness which pervadesall of the characters and matchesthe mood of Rubek's tableau.This sense extends even into theanti-climax, which might havebeen cut, following a very star-tling climax. The anti-climaxseems ridiculous, as if- Ibsencould not,resist a final stroke a'la Strindberg.

Richard Shepard's Rubek dis-plays fine sens.t..ity 'A f"r tran-s.n.asU TIbsen's stereotype. JanetLee Parker forces her role asMaja-appropriately to a degree-although she might be fresherduring the beginning. As Irene,Bronia Stefan lacks the with-drawn, unearthy beauty whichwould have intrigued Rubek. Sheappears too hearty and toohealthy; but this incongruity doesevoke a certain pathos' which issuitable to the role.

Paul Benedict's woodsman, Ulf-hejm, is not like the standardwoodsman: -his woodsman doesnot say "To Hell!" but wheezes"To hell, hmm." This succeeds,although Ulfhejm might be morerobust to offset the others; suchwry complexity does add to thegeneral mood. But the mountainlandscape of the setting does not-it is colorful yet not distant andsolemn enough.

Mr. Wheeler's production gen-erally is quite competent; if youadmire Ibsen, and you should,you will find an evening with theTheatre Company very worth-while.

friends whom they have grown tolove?

They most certainly can.It all happens like a Shakes-

pearean tragedy. The audienceknows what must eventually hap-pen. The Americans must eventu-ally contact their main force(they've got a radio, the Japan-ese have not) The 'Japanese thinktoo much of their honor as soldiersto surrender. The whole story isso very sad.

In spots the movie is a bit over-done. The character of the lieuten-ant, for example, (Tommy Sands)is a little too much. I am notsure whether this is due to over-acting, overdirecting, or the script,but he is a character out of MadMagazine. The other characterstend toward being slightly one-di-mensional, but are fairly well-de-veloped generally. Frank Sinatraand Clint Walker are good in theirparts, which is to be expected. Theacting of the Japanese players isuniformly excellent.

The verdict on "None But theBrave" is favorable. In many pla-ces it is not on the highest intel-lectual level, such as at the veryend, when the words "nobody everwins" flash on the screen. Thisgives the audience credit for a lotof brain, as this is what was be-ing said for the past two hours.In some spots the dialogue is abit hack. But in general the movieis quite exciting, and it is alwaysentertaining. It should be enjoyedby anyone who does not absolute-ly despise anything resembling awar story. It is definitely not theusual type of war movie, and it Iis certainly more than just a warmovie.

NRSA downs Theta Chi for IM hockey title;Rennison goal in final minute deciding factor

By Jack SeaqistA goal by Walter Rennison with

one minute left to play proved tobe the deciding factor for NRSAas they narrowly edged Theta Chi3-2 for the IM Hockey champion-ship last Tuesday night.

Although the winners had tocome from behind in the closingmoments of the game to gain thevictory, they were the ones whoactually began the scoring. It wasSteve Croopnick who put the firstnotch on the scoreboard although

Bridge team defeatsUMass doubly, 8-3

The MrT Bridge Team preserv-ed its perfect record with an 8-3victory over a visiting team fromthe University of Massachusetts.This particular match was doublyimportant to MIT because it isinconvenient for the Boston areateams to reciprocate and go toUMass, so that each UMassmatch counts as - two. Thistriumph brings the MIT record to4-0. UMass ended its season at44.

The match was very closethroughout and the difference wasdetermined on but two of thetwenty-four hands. The M.I.T. firstteam of Art Bushkin '65, captain,Bob Lurie '66, John Hrones '68,and Don Peterson '68 was heldeven by the steady UMas num-ber one foursome. However, anoutstanding showing by the MITsecond team of Paul Berger '64,Ben Feinswog '64, Dick Friedman'65, and Barnet Wolff '65 providedthe winning margin..

The winner of the New EnglandChampionhip probably will not bedecided until last match of season,April 18, when MIT hosts an alsounbeaten Harvard squad.

NRSA had one man in the penaltybox.

Theta Chi ahead 2-1However, Theta Chi, embar-

rassed over the first goal, first'tied the game up with a goal byBill Jessiman '63 and then goingahead 2-1 by way of a goal fromMike Greata '63, with both com-ing early in the third period.

Not to be outdone and withtime working against them, NRSAevened the count with a goal byJoe Adolph '66 with but four min-utes to go in the game. The out-come was not long awaited asRennison broke away three min-utes later and notched the finaltally.

The NRSA victory put them infirst place and Theta Chi in sec-ond in the overall standings.Lambda Chi Alpha finished thirdwhile Phi Gamma Delta and Bak-er House finished fourth and fifth,respectively.

All-star team announcedIn other news of interest, the

All Star team was announced lastweek with NRSA and Theta Chieach placing two on the firststring. The team consisted of AlLeslie '65, NRSA; Dennis Buss'64, Lambda ChiAlpha; Mark Han-son '65, Sigma Chi; Phil Smith'65, Theta Chi; Bill Jessiman,Theta Chi; and Walter Rennison,NRSA. The second string wascomposed of Bob Goldsmith '64,Zeta Beta Tau; Rick Gander '65,Theta Chi; Ben Gilds '66, NRSA;Chuck Greene '67, Zeta Beta Tau;Don Schwanz '66, Phi GammaDelta; and Mike MacKay '66,Lambda Chi Alpha.
