THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPEROF THE M.I.T. UNDERGRADUATES

By KRL T. COMPTON

In the opening part of his reminiscences, published last Friday, Dr.Compton discussed his student days at the College of Wooster, his inter-est in athletics, his first job in a laboratory, and his decision to becomea physicist.

In this installment, Dr. Compton tells of his lifestructor at Wooster and his subsequent experiencesdent in the physics department at Princeton.

league as Dean of Humanities at M.I.T. He hadbeen my father'smost brilliant pupil, and he was planning in the following yearto go to Princeton for graduate study in American History.As he was living in our home, I saw the bulletins which he re-ceived from the Princeton Graduate School, and thus learnedof the new Palmer Physical Laboratory and of the two physicistsfrom Cambridge University who had recently joined the Prince-ton staff. These were Owen W. Richardson and Jamnes H.,Jeans, both already distinguished before the age of thirty anddestined to become world famous. So I decided to go to Prince-ton just as soon as I could get together the necessary financial:resources.

Just then another event occurred which opened up' anOpportunity to advance my plans. The head of the chemistrydepartment of the College was to be granted sabbatical leavecf absence the following year and the College had to provide asubstitute. I had taken and enjoyed all the chemistry coursesoffered at the College. Furthermore, the young man who hadserved as student assistant in chemistry, had also been catcherwith me as pitcher on the College baseball team. So we con-cocted a scheme whereby we could continue our baseballinterests for another year in the local "bush league," while atthe same time gaining both experience and a little money asembryo scientists. We went to the President of the Collegeand put to him the following proposition: If he would turn overto us the amount of money which the College Trustees hadallowed for filling the chemistry professor's position in hisabsence, plus the amounts which we were then receiving asstudent assistants in physics and chemistry, we would under-take to operate the chemistry department for the year and alsothe physics assistantship.

I have always thought that the President accepted this as asporting proposition. Since I have had later experience intrying to find men for jobs, I have suspected that the good manmnay also have been at his wit's end to find a temporary chem-istry instructor, and that he seized upon our proposition with asigh of relief, feeling that he might have ,done worse. At anyrate, we got the job, we had a wonderful time and excellentexperience, and I saved enough money to. permit me to go to

Job ProspectsIn Hear FutureGenerally Good

Labor Depf. ConsensusReports OpportunityBest In Big Indusfry

With about 500,000 college stu-dents graduating this year-thelargest number in our country's his-tory-the job outlook for the newcollege graduates is generally good.It is not, however, as good as in1947 and 1948, according to infdor-mation released by the U. S. De-partment of Labor.

Basically, the economy of thecountry is strong and there is ageneral consensus that productionand employment will remain highduring 1950. However, the bigproblem facing the 'economy is thatof constantly providing more goods

md services and utilizing fully a.abor force that is growing at therate of 600,000 to 700,000 workers ayear. Even if employment contin-aes during 1950 at about the samelevel as last year, as it is' expected

to do, unemployment will increaseand Jobs will be harder to find.

Some Expansion OpportunitiesAs usual, most jobs taken by this

year's graduates will be those whichhave been vacated by othersthrough deaths and retirements.Most of the openings will occur In

Professor Norbert Weiner de-livered another of his informaladdresses to a limited but receptiveaudience Sunday night. Speaking onthe topic "Religion and Responsi-bility," the professor centered onthe position of the scientists inworld affairs, laying heaviest em-phasis on the Responsibility aspect.Mr. Weiner said in effect that themodern scientist cannot shrug offthe responsibility for the effects ofhis work, 'but rather that he mustdecide whether his means are justi-fied by the ends they produce.

The professor dismissed thematter of Religion per se by defin-ing it to include all religions as astandard of behavior rather than

Dear J. Parnell,

We have found just simply theduckiest little shop in the wholewide world, and we know you'lljust love it! It's a quaint old bookstore that calls itself "New Eng-land's Clearing House of Informa-tion for Progressives," and pub-lishes a list of its latest acquisitionswhich sports unabashedly as abannerhead the slogan "KEEPLEFT with the Progressive BookShop." The shop is located directlybehind a couple of dusty displaywindows on a little side street in|Boston. On one of these windows isscotch-taped a copy of TEWORKER, and bth windows arefilled with pamphlets, bbaring suchtitles as "A .NEW D:EPPRESSION?""THE COMUNIST MANIFESTO," "and "IM CASE FOR THE CM-MUNIST PARTY." Typically Iron-ical is the title of one booklet wediscovered inside the shop; it iscalled "ANTI-SEMISM IN RUS-SIA-THE BIG LIE," and it claimsthat in Russia there is no anti-Semitism, Komerade -- the old one-big-happy family routine. We sug-gest that they look up the word"pogrom" in one of their Russiandictionaries-that is, if the Comin-form hasn't invalidated it.

It also brings mental relax-ation .... We should all put oursliderules, Chesterfields, and Bud-weiser aside at least once a weekand take a quick half a lap aroundthe track. As I was saying though,Theta Chi and SAE are pacing thepack as far as points are concerned,but the softball, track and volleyball contests may still produce adark horse.

I.F.E. FormalThe Interfraternity Council

Formal this year will feature BradKent and his orchestra. Withduerespect to Mr. Kent and his musi-cians, I think that a big name bandwould ,be more in order. The deci-sion for a local band was madeIn order to save money and makethe tickets less expensive. Theargument for cheap tickets hasalways been strong, but the addedattraction of a big name bandshould be enough so that mencould curtail their social activitiesfor a couple of weeks and savetheir money.

The Saga of Valerie: The Techreceives all sorts of. mail - bils,checks, Clipsheets from the Boardof Temperance. rBut in garneringmaterial for this article, I washanded a letter with the scribbledcommentary, "reqWred reading."It is from one Valerie Riggs, whosays that she has refused to payincome taxes since 1944 and isrefusing again this year because,to put it simply, she doesn't likethe way the government is spend-ing it. She says that ... those inour government who are decidingour fate for us . . . are consultingthe cleverest minds in science toconcoct the most diabolical schemesfor killing hmocent men, women,and children . . . " This is probablyaccurate enough to make the boysin Ballistics run their fingers aroundthe insides of' their collars, butValerie has found the solution,fellows! Just refuse to pay yourtaxes, and the world situation issolved! Let's all Laissez-faire witha big bangl

We appreciate the thought, butsomeone, whose initials are V. B.,is being awfully idealistic. Thereis even an organization known asthe Peacemakers whose membersare doing the same as Valerie. Soif any of you want to do away withyour taxes wve can give you theaddress of these people and you

"That any organized action, orattempts to organize action, for thenomination, promotion, or electionof a candidate for any living groupor activity shall be consideredgrounds for disqualification . . .,"etc., etc.

I quote from the minutes of theinstitute Committee one week later,March 20, 1947:

"M.S.P. that the existing ruleconcerning nominations for elec-tions passed on March 13, 1947, berepealed."

It is my opinion that any indlvid-ual who quotes from past minutesof any legislative body incurs anobligation to present the entire pic-ture. I hope that no injurious con-fusion among candidates and vot-ers has resulted.

474 Beae adBy Mort Bosniak

Last year during the football season, the Sports Editor ofthe Tech decided that he would predict the outcome of someof the football games of the week. He met with only moderatesuccess.

If the number of wrong predictions during any one par-ticular week was a bit high, many readers seemed to rememberthese mistakes an dthe Sports Editor took a little heckling. Thatis why I am a little hesitant in making my predictions of thefinal standings in the Major League pennant races. However,I do have the safety factor of time working in my favor. Veryfew people will remember who I predict for the final standingsby next September and if I'ql all wrong, well then perhapsno one will remember my bad judgment. However, if by somestroke of good fortune my prognostications are correct, thenyou can be sure that if you forget what I have predicted, I'llmost certainly remind you of my success.

With this in mind, here are my predictions for the 1950Major League campaigns.

With a respectable showing in theIntercollegiates, the riflemen endedthe most successful season in theteam's history. It was certainly themost extensive, for it was the firsttime that the Beavers have had aschedule that included matcheswith all of the powerful teams inthe East, and the first time theyhave had a chanre to fire in thelarge championship matches. Theschedule included twelve dualmatches, of which the Engineerslo t one. In matches with severalschools at a time, the Techmengained first places in fields ofthirty-six teams, six teams and fiveteams. They also twice took firstplace honors in competition withthree schools and a third place ina field af four. The squad firedagainst the teams of twenty-sevencolleges before the intercollegiates,and defeated each at least once.Six of those schools also defeatedthe Beavers, however.

Outlook GoodIn spite of the loss of Captain

All other members of this year'svarsity team will return with a Val-aable year's experience. In addi-tion to some promising freshman;hooters, Mel Bowers, an All-American rifleman who transferredto Tech this year from the Uni-versity of Maryland, will strengthenthe varsity for the coming season.

In engineering, the number ofgraduates will exceed the numberof openings in the early 1950's; afterthe next 4 or 5 years, the employ-ment situation for new graduatesis likely to improve in this rapidlygrowing profession. 0

Competition in chemistry willalso be keen during the next fewyears among persons withohut grad-uate training. There will also bean oversupply of business admin-istration and accounting graduates.

Princeton, provided I might be fortunate enough to be awardeda fellowship. Incidentally, this job of teaching chemistry atWooster is the only position I have ever held for which I applied.

Toward the end of that year came my application for apostgraduate fellowship at Princeton. In this I was unsuccess-ful, being informed that there were other applicants whoseclaims to a fellowship appeared superior to mine. I was, how-ewer, offered a half-time teaching, half-time graduate studentposition, which I accepted. In my second and third years atPrinceton, I was awarded very generous fellowship aid. Themost astonished young man in Princeton was I when, near theend of my first year there, the head of the physics departmentcame into a laboratory class which I was conducting and, withthe very stern look on his face which I later learn'ed was themask that concealed his excitement, informed me that thefaculty had awarded me the most prized fellowship in the insti-tution. I thought at -first he must be joking, for I had had themisfortune to lose all the results (except experience) of my firstyear's effort at research when an overnight plumbing leak inthe room above my laboratory had completely wrecked myexperimental apparatus just before its .inal test.

At la'st, with my Ph.D. degree practically assured, I beganlooking around for a teaching position. No college scouts insearch of budding talent came to Prince-ton for young physicists,and I began to getdesperate. Finally I made out a list of fortycolleges or universities, with any one of which I would havegladly cast my lot, and to each I wrote the best letter of applica-tion, I could--compose. , Having mailed these letters, I anxiouslyawaited the results. When they came, I was s"unk. Out of theentire lust came only one offer,-an instructorship at six hundreddollars per year. I could not get married on that salary, andthis event had already been over-long postponed.

ComptonPulitzer Prize PoetTo Speak On RevoltIn American Poetry

Peter Viereck, Pulitzer Prize-wining poet and historian, willlecture Friday, April 14, at 5:00 p.m.in Boom 10-250. The talk, sponsoredby -the Humanities Division andLecture Series Committee, will be

on the subject iad-Century Revoltin American Poetry.

Mr. Viereck's book of -poems,

Terror and Decorum, won the 1949Pulitzer Prize for poetry, and a

new volume of verse, StrikeThrough the Mask! has justrecently been published. Viereck

believes in poetry that people can

understand, and that is the revolt

he will refer to in his lecture.

He has achieved wide acclaim

for his work as a political theoristas well as for his poetry. His otherbooks are Metapolitics and Con-

servatism Revisited. The former is

a discussion of Nazism, and thelatter is a -work illustrating the

value of conservatism in our worldtoday. Both studies have been very

highly conmmended.,, Mr. Viereck,who served in the army in theAfrican and Italian campaigns, isnow associate professor of historyat Mount Holyoke College.
