Washington--The United States and Russia have come to the conclusion thatthey cannot agree on a plan for the pooling of peaceful uses of atomic energy.For eight months, both nations have corresponded on the possibility of making.such a plan. Now, both nations have decided to publish a 36-page documentcontaining the notes exchanged between them, planning to use them as propa-ganda.

Washington-Secretary of State Dulles has gone to London to the nine-powerconference being held there. It is said he has hopes of reaching an agreementwith Premier Mendes-France on the issue of re-arming West Germany andaccepting her into NATO. If not, however, he also has plans to re-arm WestGermany against France's disapproval. Included in his measures are plansfor recommending the moving of American forces to Spain, Britain, Italy,and the Middle East. However, this is just a theory now.

Washington-The United States has demanded that Russia pay $1,620,295.01for the shooting down of an American plane over international waters twoyears ago,. or else we shall submit the case to the International Court ofJustice at The Hague. The United States also asked Russia to release infor-mation regarding the eight crewmen who were supposedly picked up by aRussian ship after the crash.

The fault is partiallythat of succeeding generations of In-stitute Committees in not making fulluse of their National Student Con-gress delegates. Certainly, Inscommmust bear the responsibility for therelegation of the NSA committee toa musty and little-seen corner ofWalker Memorial. On the other hand,the national has not done effectivepublicity work in past years. AnyTech student who has attempted toglean pertinent information from themass of trivia trivia usually found inthe USNSA news-letters outside theInsComm office can attest to the weak-ness of this form of publicity. t

Lack of effective publicity, past or-ganizational and administrative criseswithin the USNSA staff, and occa-sional vituperous attacks by the rab-idly irrational Students for Americahas resulted in much questioning ofthe worth of NSA affiliation by col-leges and universities. Although over300 colleges representing 1,000,000students are now members (almosthalf of the college population in thecountry) and the organization is nowon a firm footing administratively andfinancially, the old bugaboo of com-munications still brings on occasionalbouts of hesitance on the part of somecolleges. MIT has been no exception;in 1952 the charges of SFA that theUSNSA was leftist and even commu-nist-tinged received wide attentionand InsComm instituted an investiga-tion into MIT's relationship withUSNSA. The subcommittee's reportbrought out two main facts: the na-tional staff had been cleared by theFBI; the policies and organizationhad undergone thorough investigationby a joint committee representing theNational Association of Deans of Men,the National Association of Deans ofWomen, and the National Associationof Students, and had been given com-

Females Flock ToBaker House HopIn Great Nu mbers

_.

Baker House experienced the larg-est and most colossal acquaintancedance it has ever housed last Fridaynight. The oversupply 0d girls wascompletely unanticipated. Girls fromSimmons, Boston University, PineManor, Chandler, Brandeis, Garland,Jackson, Radcliffe, Mount Ida, Frank-lin Square House, Beth Israel, Fisher,Chamberlayne and, many other collegesflocked to Baker House by charteredbuses, cars, taxies, the MTA, and byfoot.

Girls GaloreThe Baker House Social Committee,

headed by James H. Stone '55, hadplanned on having 200 girls for thedance. But outside observers passingin front of Baker House around 9:00p.m. that evening noticed a sea ofgirls passing in and out of the dormi-tory. Grlls who were late-comers tothe dance took one look inside andwalked away. At one particular in-stant during the evening there wereover 600 people in Baker House, thegirls outnumbering the boys 2 to 1.

Seventeen cases of soda, fourteenpounds of potato chips and ten poundsof pretzels were rep0~ted consumedduring the dance. The Baker HouiseSocial Committee have expressed reso-lutions for more accurate social co-ordination so that in the future nomore girls will be inconvenienced.

Fooitba'lll KicFirst Sailingy

by Jerry IThe rosters for-intramural football

and intramural sailing, fall season,are in, and the campus competition isofficially under way. .

'Leagues ChosenIn football 36 teams have been enter-

ed and these have been split up intofive leagues. The first league consistsof -eight- teanms while the others eachcontain seven, with one bye given outin the opening round. All choosing wasdone by picking out of a 'hat. For thisreason one of the leagues appearsmuch stronger than the others.

Opening GamesThe leagues shape-up something like

this. -In league one Theta Xi playsPhi Kappa, Delta Tau Delta, fightsBaker "A", D.U. has it out with thenewly formed TEP squad, and thepowerful Phi Gamin's, last year's win-ners, play Kappa Sig. In league num-ber two it's Sigma Phi Epsilon vs.Sigma Chi, the 5:15 club against Stu-

-dent House, and AEPI against Bur-ton. Phi Kappa Sigma draws a bye.

In league three Chi Phi is the lucky,bye-drawing squad. Lamba Chi Alphafaces Burton Student Staff, Phi DeltaTheta plats Delta Psi, and Phi SigmaKappa goes against Beta Theta Pi tocomplete the league.

League Four PowerfulLeague four is the big story this

year. It seems to containf most of theserious contenders for Phi Gam's foat-ball throne. In this league we findSAE opening its season against Theta

'ks ff Seasown'rFournamnt SetMarwell '5TI Chi. SAE is last year's runner up-and

traditionally fields a top notch squad.Theta Chi is one of the most athletic-..minded houses-in- school and is almostsure to present a strong threat. Thepower-laden Grad House is also'in thisleague. They face Pi Lambda Phi intheir opener and will find no easypickings there. Most of ATO's thirdplace squad of last year is back andthey should be improved. Phi MuDelta has the job of meeting them inthe season starter. -The last team inthe league is East Campus whichdraws a bye. The Easties have thelargest manpower pool on-campus todraw from and must therefore alwaysbe considered a threat.. Rounding out the schedule is league

five. In this' league we find Phi BetaEpsilon opening against an improvedSAM club; Theta Delta Chi playingGrad House Student Staff and DKEcoming up against Baker "B". SigmaNu draws the bye. ,

New Ref SystemA new system of refereeing football

games has been started. It is muchthe same as the system that was insti-tuted last basketball season. All refswill be paid two dollars a game. Theywill be chosen by two tests, one writ-ten and one oral, which will be givenby Jack Merkl '56, Dave Foreman '57,and Ashton Stocker '55. These testswill be given on Wednesday at fiveo'clock at the AA office. Anyone iseligible. Two refs will be used for each

game.. It will cost. each team aboutseven dollars with -the teams thatreach the- finals paying extra.

Sailing StartsThe first sailing season will prob-

ably start next week. Ernie Blake, themanager, expects from fifteen totwenty teams to be divided into fourleagues. Each team will consist of twoboats, the helmsmen of which will befamiliar-with the racing rules. Theultimate winner will be decided in aneight team final regatta.

EliminationBoth football and sailing will be

elimination tourneys, the football be-ing double elimination. Football willcount ten poihts toward the all-sportstrophy while the sailing contest willbe worth ten: The sailing experimentis to be watched with particular inter-est. It is the first new thing to beinjected into intramural sports in along time.

Crew On CharlesFor First Drills,Frosh Promising

The forgotten Fall sport, crew, ha(!its official Tech start yesterday whenthe Charles saw the first of the Card-inal and Grey oarsmen. Although theracing schedule comes almost com-pletely in the spring the fall practicesare probably the most important phasein the rowing year since this is whenthe fundamentals of the sport are in-grained in the oarsmen.

The size of the Frosh turnout mustmake the '58 coach, Phil Leanderson,a good deal more cheerful. Largerthan last year's rookies in number andat least equal in strength and height,the Frosh turnout bodes well for Bea-

Putting one little word after another and whatever became of sports newsat the Institute ? None of the fall sports get under way for a week or so andnothing is going on athletically with the exception of the weekly sailing races.

This is the part of the year when sport fans at Tech start to bemoan theabsence of football. In order to console these poor unfortunates, we shallattempt to talk a little about football and the Institute . . . The sophomorefootball team has an ace passer in Willie Waterson who throws as well asanyone seen around Tech in recent years ... The line is quite light, however,with tackles averaging around one-seventy . . . The fifty-seven-men have arough schedule mapped out for them: Boston Latin and Tabor Academy arethe sophs' pre-Field Day opponents. Besides lack of weight, the sophs will behandicapped by insufficient practice time. Both Tabor and Boston Latin willhave had at least two weeks edge in practice and a considerable weight ad-vantage over the class of '57 gridders . .; The freshman footballers shouldfield-an above average outfit. The material is rumored to be excellent . .There are a lot of rumors around about frosh athletes. We prefer to take themreasonably salted. Did you hear the one about the six-foot-seven freshman iiBurton House ... A rumor which sounds a little more reasonable is the oneabout the experienced frosh basketball material ... No insult to the six-foot-seven you know what if he exists . . . Speaking of basketball, the varsity

ver crews of the next four years.

The heavyweight situation is defi-nitely looking up, since Tech had astrong Junior Varsity last year andgraduation did' not cut too deeply intothe squad.

Light -coach Frailey is faced withthe difficulty of producing a worthysuccessor to his championship crewof last year. Returning, however, arefour lettermen and fragments of theJ.V. and frosh' squads. All in all thisseason could be one of the best everseen at the Institute.

I

received a serious blow when StanShilensky '55, veteran six-foot-six cen-ter and last year's late-season surprisestandout scorer, succumbed to aca-demic pressure. We heard the newsfront Scotty Whitelaw, Engineer cagecoach, who was trying hard to thinkof something else at the time ... But.,. and need we say this, Dee Vergun'56 joins the team this year. The six-four transfer student from Texas hitthe headlines last year when, inelig-ible for varsity play, he broke all in-tramural scoring records and led theIntramural All-Stars to a near upsetof the varsity in a benefit game forthe embryo basketball Hall of Fameat Springfield . .. Which brings us tocage Captain Carl Hess '55 who wonthat game late in the second half-witha, sensational exhibition 9f set-shoot-ing including a mid-court shot thatswished through as the third quarterending buzzer sounded. His ball-hand-ling, driving and shooting should leadthe Engineers to a successful seasondespite the loss of Shilensky . .Which reminds us of another rumor. . . that Shilensky will be back nextterm. Scotty hopes so. So do we . .TigerJack Britt '55 will be back. 'nuffsaid .. . The cagers should be quitethe club to watch and in the Cage withthe new floor, even better.

TERESA WRIGHT says: "Up to 16, my knowledge of actinghad been gleaned from seeing movies., When I saw my first

professional play, that was it: I only wanted to act. I got intohigh school plays, wrestled props at Provincetown, understudied,

sat for months in producers' reception rooms. One rainynight, sick with a cotld, I read for a good role, and got it!"
