"Lift your mug at the Junior

Mug-Lift." That's the motto of thisyear's Junior stag party, dubbed bythe Juniors as the Mug-Lift, which

will be held at 8:30 pxn. on Wednes-day, March 2, in the Rockwell Cage.

Five-inch high beer mugs en-

graved with a slightly tipsy beaver

will serve both as containers and as

favors for the party. Beginningnext Monday, when the tickets will

go on sale, a mammoth replica ofthe Mug to be used at the Mug-lift

will be displayed in the lobby ofBuilding 10. Since the Committee's

budget is yet to be approved by theInstitute Committee, the price ofthe tickets has not been deter-milned; however, since the party isdesigned to operate at a loss, theprices will be kept reasonable.

For Juniors OnlyTickets will be sold through jun-

iors only. In order that the correctnumber of beer mugs may be or-dered, it is urged that the Juniorsget their tickets as soon as possibleafter the tickets go on sale.

Movies, SingingEntertainment plans, which are

not yet completed, include a jazzcombo, movies, a wiener roast, andgroup singing. A twenty by twelvefoot class banner made of cottonbunting wil] be included in the dec-orations. The banner was pur-chased in November with classfunds for class parties and reunionsand was used during the JuniorProm weekend.

Help WantedDue to the work involved in the

Junior Prom and in an effort toget more men participating in theactivities of the class, the Class of'50 Executive Committee decided toform a special committee for theMug-Lift. The committee is headedby Jack Weaver and consists ofPeter Baker, Don Lea, ,Nat Roosin,and Jack Stewart. Juniors inter-ested in working with the commit-tee should contact Jack Weaver orJim Baker in the dormitories.

total number. of students at Tech-nology is about five thousand. Of

twelve.hundred are graduates. Thelargest class; Juniors, total elevenhundred students.. J

Enrollment Leveling Off

Enrollment is now In a state ofstabilizing flux. The peak enroli-

ment has slacked back to a more

q normal level, but Joseph C. Mac-

! Kinnon, Registrar, doubts that thepre-war complement of three thou-sand students will be approached

unless a serious redession occurs.

If the present trend continues, thestudent boy will level to near

forty-dve hundred. Continuing, heeplains that definite predictionsare impossible because of the nianyfactors involved.

One fact is definite. The admis-sioa standards of the Institute havenot and will not ,be changed. En-rollment is determined by the num-ber of qualified applicants.

Veterans On DecreaseVeteran enrollment accounted for

a great deal of the expanded stu-dent body in the past few years, theJunior and Senior classes beingcomposed of over 50% veterans;however, the effects of the war arebeginning to wear away as far asenrollment As concerned. The Soph-omore class represents the first

isharp drop in veteran proportion,I 35%; and the freshman class is a

mere 17% veteran.Partially balancing the decrease

in veteran enrollment Is the in-crease in transfer students. Untilthis year, the Institute was enableto accommodate any transfer appli-

The two Seniors informed mnem-bers of these departments, ap-pointed by President Truman, todelve further into aspects of his"bold new program," of the activi-ties of the Foreign Student SummerProject. Eames and Haynes re-ported that they were well receivedand found a great interest in theproject wherever they went.

Recent developments in Ohinahave forced a cancellation of thatnation from the list of 27 countriesbeing invited to next stmmer'sseminar. From the Far East, rep-resentation is expected from Japan,Korea, Indonesia, Australia, NewZealand, and the Philippines. Is-rael, Egypt, and Lebanon have beeninvited from the Near East.

The war has been over for sev-eral years now, but anecdotes ofincidents that happened duringthese long years are still filteringback to us., Seems that near the end of 1943,about the time that every citizenwas looking in his closet for a hid-den spy, M.I.T. scientists were do-ing research on a system of com-munication using infra-red rays.One cold November evening, Pro-fessor Hans Mueller and several ofhis associates decided to test theirapparatus on the Blue Hills Reser-vation, bordering on the town ofCanton. As night fell, communi-cation was established over the newsystem, and using handi-talkies,Professor Mueller informed asso-ciates stationed in a nearby tower,that he was now going to try toincrease the range of communica-tion. Darkness completely envel-oped the men, but the tests wenton.

Circling through ,backwoodsroads, the apparatus was takenfurther away from the tower andagain contact was established.

In the middle of all this, the men

This editorial is a bit tardy; due to the completion of thenew Senior House the conditions which prompted it will bealleviated. Nevertheless, it is something we feel should be

voiced, and not glossed over. When the barracks dormitorywas originally established, a small sentence was put in thecatalogue which stated that a priority list for those enteringthe dorms would be drawn up according to the amount of timespent in Building 22. If at the end of the year, all of the roomsavailable in the dormitories were assigned to building 22 resi-dents, it would' be fairly safe to say that practically all thepeople who had spent one year in the barracks would havegotten dorm rooms if they desired them.

This, however is not the case. In the first place, any Junioror Senior has priority over a Building 22 man for a dorm room.Anyone with a good medical reason can get a dorm room. Aswell, anyone who can get in with one or two established resi-dents will be allowed to enter according to the dorm board'spolicy of building up congenial living groups. Finally, thereare any number of illegitimate methods of gaining entrance,strictly without the province of any of those mentioned. Onesuch method, as practiced towards the end of last term, is toget a friend in the dorms to go down with you to the managerand say that you wish to room together. The manager permitst~,.s, and you have only to pay thirty-five dollars or so roomrent for the rest of the term. You need not, however, live withyour friend; when the end of the term comes you find a litlecard in your box asking what room you want next term. Whenyou are in, you're in.

A good sob story to one of the managers has been knownto do the trick, making a pest of yourself has also unlockedthe mystical doors. The sum total of the influx from all theaforementioned sources has filled all the dorm rooms long be-fore the managers get around to assigning them to people whohave lived in 22 for one year.

So, what is the percentage in living in 22? A l of peoplehave lived in the barracks tinder the misapprehension that theyare getting closer to a dorm room bydoing so. The crux of thewhole matter is, that there never was and is not now a prioritylist, per se. There never was really any need for one.

There were tom decent solutions to the problem. Thequalifications for d(enn residents.coming from building 22 couldhave been rigidly enforced (With the possible exception ofmedical cases) or the fallacious idea of a priority establishedby living in 22 could be stricken from the catalogues and thebulletins of the dormitory board. Of course, we think theformer would not work; the latter and more practical solutionwould probably have been better.

An interesting sidelight on the situation is the singular factthat out of aboutfifty some-od-d vacancies occurring in the dorm-itories just this last term, due mainly to the large percentageof Juniors failing to meet academic standards, six vacanciesmanaged to filter through to Builtding 22.

As we stated at the beginning, the expanded dorm facili-ties offered by the new Senior House will probably clear upthe housing situation. (We note that the dorm board is re-serving rooms in the dormitories, including the new SeniorHouse for next year's Freshmen.)

A FORWARD STEPWith this issue, The Tech inaugurates the exclusive pub-

lication of the Institute's Calendar of Events in these pages.By the resultant distribution of the official undergraduate news-paper to the staff, we feel that there has been a major stepforward step in our campaign to make The Tech truly a school-wide organ. As another new feature, The Tech will print inevery Tuesday issue a social calendar of all events for the com-ing weekend.

were suddenly surprisednoise of a car tearing uproad which ran by the'which they were located.around, the headlights ofgreeted them, and twoarmed officers-of-the lawoff the running board... with re-volvers drawn and.pointed directlyat the men.

A raging police chief leaped outof the car, and without further ado,and leaving little time for explana-tion, ordered the men, includingProfessor Mueller into the car.Professor Mueller protested bitterly,but to no avail. The long arm ofthe law was doing its job. Severalidentification papers, includingthose from the U. S. Signal Corps,the F.C.C., M.I.T., and otherbranches of our armed forces failedto convince the persistent ofsicers.

The "captured" men insisted thrs tthe Chief phone M.I.T. for positiveproof, but taking no chances, themen v.ere tossed in the jug. Phonecalls were made to Vannevar Bush,Dr. Compton, and the Federal Bu-reau of Investigation, and the menwere finally identified.

If you're wondering why' thepolice chose to drive along the de-serted road in the middle of no-where at that late hour, the reasonwas that hidden in the trees sur-rounding the fields were two houses.One of them belonged to a HarvardProfessor, Morrison by name,. Theother belonged to the ManpowerCommissioner of Massachiusetts.

The Morrison home had recentlybeen broken into and the occupantsof the other house thought thatthe experimenters were erstwhileburglars, trying to burgle the placeagain. These good citizens phonedthe Canton police station.

That's the official version of thestory, and according to ProfessorMueller, there are several otherslants circulating throughout thenation, including ". . . the Wash-ington Version, the Wisconsin Ver-sion, the California Version andthe Chicago Version."

Another Professor, just homefrom Switzerland, ran into a for-mer classmate ci' Professor Muel-ler's. According to this Professor,the classmate wanted to know,... if Hans was still in jail?"

Of all the variations of the story,the one which is perhaps the mostamusing emphasizes the fact thatthe country was alerted for Germanespionage agents. According tothis version,-,as the police chief gotout of the car he asked the Pro-fessor this name. When the reply"Hans Mueller" came back, the of-ficer replied, "that's all buddy, theF. B. I. wants to see you."

Information regarding the num-ber of students who have failed tomeet the minimum scholastic re-quirements is completely confiden-tial data and cannot be released.Mr. MacKinnon discredits some ru-mors which circulate with consider-able credence among the studentbody: 1. There is no policy, statisti-cal or otherwise, which requires anapproximate number of flunks ineach class each term. The ax fallsonly where students fail to meetminimum requirements. It is per-fectly possible for any class to passthrough all eight terms with no one eliminated. 2. Speculations con-cerning the number of heads thatfall are often overestimations. Ac-cording to Mr. MacKinnon, the fail-ures are a minor percentage of anygroup.

I Reviews & Previews

It is too bad that so few stu-dents take much of an interestin what goes on at the Instituteover the weekends. For the mostpart, it is their own loss. Last Fri-day and Saturday, for instance,

Ithe Staff Players performance wasattended by large numbers offaculty and administration mem-bers, and small numbers of stu-dents.

We can only say that anyonewho missed the Staff Players' offer-ing of J. [B. Pristley's "LaburnumGrove" without good reason notonly is lacking a bare minimum ofschool spirit (such as it is aroundhere) but also missed (a) a fineshow, and (b) a slice of birthdaycake. The. birthday cake was inhonor of the fifteenth anniversaryof the Staff Players nee FacultyDrama Club, and the fine show wasthe fruit of the effcrts of somethirty or so members of the organ-ization.

Excellent Acting

No one would deny that thePlayers are an amateur group,and their weakness was in thedifficult matter of line memoriza-tion. On the other hand, the qualityof the acting was excellent; wehave seen much less convincingperformances from far more pre-tentious groups. It was good to seeactors who really looked their partsnaturally. With the exception ofJoe Fletten played by WilliamSiebert, an oldish man played bya youngish actor, alterations tothe players' physiognomy vwas at aminimum. Rather than comment onindividuals, we would like to offerone big thanks to the whole cast.

ExhibitsGreater Boston has more muse-

ums than any other city in theUnited States save New- York, yetmost of us live here oblivious oftheir presence. Admittedly theMuseum of Fine Arts on HuntingtonAvenue, housing a collection ofEgyptian, Greek, Roman, Near East-ern, European and American artand paintings, is well attended.Also the Isabella Stewart GardnerMuseum on the Fenway, housingan amazing array of old masters,sculpture, tapestries, stained glass,furniture, flowers and other objects,receives its fair share of the public.Yet two of the finest museums gocomparatively undiscovered: theyare both part of Harvard Universityand located near the Yard.

The Fogg Museum of Art, onQuincy Street, contains examples ofRomanesque and Gothic sculpture,and paintings, drawings and printsof the last six centuries. It also al-ways has a special exhibit on show.At present this exhibit includes twotypes of art. The first is the art ofprinting, and the second, and far

more interesting, is the art of etch-ing and drawing in the last few dec-ades. Of the works shown I par-ticularly admired Picasso's fouretchings done as illustrations toAristophanes "Lysistrata." Theyhave a remarkable simplicity ofline, and are executed with the ut-most freedom. This exhibit also in-cludes the recent colour pochoirsby Henri Matisse called "Jazz."These five works, all done in themost brilliant and clashing colours,are abstractions of dancing formsdone as illustrations to a text alsoby Matisse.

The second museum, even moreneglected than the Fogg, is the Ger-manic Museum. It houses Germanart and covers the period from theearly ecclesiastical sculpture of thethirteenth century to the Bauhausmovement of the late twenties. Themajority of the collection is devotedto plaster casts of statues from suchfamous German cathedrals asStrassburg. The museum also con-tains a baroque organ of the typethat Bach used; this instrument isused every Sunday morning by Mr.Biggs in his weekly radio organ re-citals. This month the museumalso contains an exhibit of theworks of the Dutch-American arch-itect Mies van der Rohe; this exhibitis nearly identical to the one whichonly a few weeks ago was shown inour Building 7.

11New Coach Had FineRecord At Harvard

By KEN ELDED

At a corner desk in the AA. office. . . noise, confusion, crampedquarters.

"Appointment at one?""O.K., thanks."·.. And at one I returned; sitting

on his desk-the signing of papers,a four-year contract with Deerfieldfor squash, the secretary with herheavy sweater, the window wideopen and cold, characters in and

i out . . . noise, confusion, crampedquarters....

My man walked in-Warren B13ergreturning from lunch, an olive-drab, duffel bag over his shoulder, prob-ably full of basketball equipmentfor the frosh team. In winter, thecagers, large balls, slippery floors,a five-man squad--in the spring,bats and balls, an open field, anine-man varsity squad . . . thecoach.

3 Years at HarvardBefore he came to Tech, Berg

had a three-year stay at Harvardas Frmh coach, his baseball teamwinning thirty-two and losing four-teen; his basketball team winringforty-eight and losing six games.

"It was luck," he says, "on thebasketball team, Harvard supplieda powerful squad of tall husky menfor those three years."

"But coaching is only part of thegame. A good coach without spiritcan lose games even with a goodteam. A coach needs good materialand facilities-all must be together,without any one factor a team islicked." He takes coaching seriously-playing to win-and his teams dowin. His freshman basketeers thisyear took their first six games andcurrently sport a record of sevenand three, their tlhree losses beingby six, two, and four points re-spectively.

Graduated from Ridge TechWarren Berg has called Cam-

bridge his home for most of his life;he graduated from Rindge Tech andHarvard Engineering. While withinthe red brick walls up the river hepitched for two years on the varsitybaseball squad, being elected cap-tain during his second year. Hisoutstanding thrills while playingbahll for Harvard was the defeat ofthe New Haven Bulldogs for twostraight years.

Several years ago he was signedup by the Red Sox and farmed toScranton in the New Englandleague. His stay with Scranton wasbrief.... Then for four years heplayed only service ball, a la corpsMarine. Part of these years Lieut.Berg was stationed at Tech doingresearch on radar.

Summer In the MlinorgSince the war he has spent one

summer playing for Lynn and Prov-idence to gain professional experi-ence to use in his coaching. Now,he manages to squeeze in a fewgames with the New England Hobosin spring and fall, while the Cape

Varsity Wins, 43-32;Pines Breaks RecordAs Frosh Beat Brown

Flashing plenty of speed andstamina, the Tech swimming teamdefeated a visiting R.P.I. squad43-32 at Alumni pool Saturday af-ternoon. The Beaver mermen cap-tured the first event of the meetand were never headed, in register-ing their fourth win against threelosses.

The day was highlighted whenTech's Bob Pelletier set a newM.I.T. Varsity record in the 200-yard breastroke event. His time was2:36.6 which cut three tenths of asecond from the old record whichBob himself had held.

Relay Team WinsCcach Smith's swimmers cap-

tured six out of the nine events andhad the meet pretty well sewed upby the end of the sixth event. Start-I ng off the meet, the 300-yard mned-ley relay team with Emerson Calla-han, Pelletier, and Carl Mellin rac-ing, was victorious over the R.P.I.trio..

In the 220-yard freestyle race,Frank Conlin of M.I.T. placed first,with Cooper and Redlich of R.P.I.gaining second and third places re-spectively. Bob Edgar and GarthCoombs then obtained sixteenpoints between them for 'Tech ibyplacing one-two in the 50-yard free-style and two-one In the 100-yardfreestyle event.

R.PJ. Divers ScoreBetween these two events, R.P.I.

captured a first and second in thediving contest. Guthe and Sheffieldscored for the Trojans, while LouLehman took third place for M.I.T.IlS the 150-yard backstroke event,Stan Jones and Dave Roller markedup another first and second for theBeavers,

Then came the most excitingrace of the afternoon with Pelletierjust nosing out R.PI.'s Gallaherand setting the new record. TheTech natators then picked up theirfinal three points as Carl Mellinplaced second in the 440-yard free-style race.

After the varsity meet the TechFresh met Moses Brown Prep Schooland took them into camp by thescore of 49-26. Jack Pines set a newM.I.T. freshman record in the 100-yard breastroke event. Jack's timeof 1:08.4 shaved three tenths of asecond from the old mark.

weekend, the Tech freshman bas-ketball squad emerged with an evensplit. Warren Berg's quintetdropped a 51-47 decision to theBU frosh on Friday for their thirdconsecutive loss, but came back towhip Harvard, 45-42 on Saturdayevening.

In both games the team showedthe effects of the long layoff due toexams and vacation, and the frater-nity initiations which several ofthe players are undergoing. Theplay was often quite spotty, withmissed passes, sloppy ballhandlingand, as usual, poor foul shooting.However, especially in the Harvardgame, there was also hustle, good

and Harvard was fouling repeatedlyin an effort to gain possession ofthe ball. The issue was in doubtuntil the final seconds when abasket by Herb Glantz ins'ared theBeaver victory.

Harvard Game Well PlayedOf the two gamnes the second was

by far the more interesting andwell-played. Harvard, led by play-maker Bob Hickey, had a smooth-working outfit which showed somereally good basketball at times. TheCrimson tenm had beaten five outof seven opponents before thisgame.

On the other hand the B.U. game

work under the boards, and somegood shooting.

BoU. Pulls AwayAfter an even first quarter,

during which both teams lookedvery bad, BU began to pull awayfrom a Beaver five which seemed tobe dead on its. feet. With OBryantsetting up the plays and Butcherpopping in baskets with monoton-ous regularity, the Terriers openedup a 40-24 advantage midway inthe third period.

At this point the Engineersawoke. Two quick baskets by MikeNacey touched off a drive whichnetted 11 points in a row, andeventually brought the Beavers upto a one-point deficit at 44-43. How-ever, here the drive stalled, andO'Bryant's two goals in the lastcouple of minutes put the gameout of reach.

Harvard Jumps Out In FrontThe Harvard game began in

dismal fashion as the Crimsonjumped off to an 8-2 lead. How-ever, the Engineers soon closedthe gap and two nice hook shotsby Cliff Herdman put Tech in thelead for the first time at 17-16.Thereafter the game was close allthe way.

The Beavers led, 21-20, at half-time, and during the second halfthe lead changed hands nine timesas neither team was able to estab-lish a .decisive advantage. With a

found both teams taking turns atthrowing the ball away. It seemedevident that the Terriers, whomCoach Berg's outfit had alreadylicked twice this season, won onlybecause the Tech team was in poorshape.

Incidentally SpeakingFour members of B.U.'s starting

five fouled out of the game in thelast period, leaving the Terrierswith only four eligible players, since.they had started with but eightmen on the bench. ConsequentlyB.U. played the last 58 seconds ofthe game with four men on thecourt. As in the previous loss toNichols foul shooting was largelyresponsible for this defeat; theEngineers scored 18 field goals asagainst 17 for B.U., but were ableto connect for only 11 of their25 chances from the foul line, whilethe Terriers dunked in 17.

Mile Relhy TeamPlaces 4th at NY

Tech's one mile relay team jour-neyed to New York last Saturdaywhere it competed in the New YorkAthletic Club Games at MadisonSquare Garden.- The team, com-posed of Bill Raich, Ed Olney, AlDell Isola, and Doug Vitagliano, fin-ished fourth in a field of five.

The race was won by the Univer-sity of Maryland, with Penn Statesecond and Rhode Island Statebeating out the Engineers for thirdplace by a nose. The Beavers' timefor the race was 3:26.

Victory could hardly be creditedto any one individual, for the entireTech squad turned in a fine per-formance. Offensive credit wasshared by Captain Jim Madden,Jim MacMillan, and Jack Corrie,who was back in action for the firttime in three games. Lou Mortonagain contributed a large part tothe defensive burden, repeatedlysnaring rebounds from his tallerTerrier opponents.

The Terriers Jumped off to anearly 10-3 lead, but this marginlater proved to be largest held byeither team, as Tech counteredwith seven straight points to dead-lock -the score. From here on inthe count was knotted 12 times andthe issue in doubt up to the finalminute.

Trailing 28-27 at half-time, theBeavers fell to a six point deficitin the opening moments of thesecond stanza. Corrie, Morton, andMadden then connected from thefloor to once again tie the score.A short time later, Madden's longset shot together with Ozzie Honka-lehto's two foul conversions enabledthe Engineers to obtain a five pointadvantage which they held to theend. Two minutes from the finishCorrie clinched the contest on aneasy lay-up after B.U. had startedto play all over the court in a vainattempt to save the game.

The final outcome may be statis-tically attributed to the Beavers'accuracy at the foul line, wherethey dropped 13 out of 20 charitytosses. From the floor both squadsconnected 20 times, but the Engioneers were far more accurate usingonly 62 shots to the Terriers' 75.The Engineers' season record nowstands at three victories and sevendefeats.

Warren Berg(Continued from Page 4)

In the spring and fall-hunting,anything from duck to deer, takesmore time. In the summer he di-rects a YMCA camp for 90 boys atOsterville on the Cape and plays afew rounds of golf on the side.. .And year round, he finds time tospend with his family--a wife andtwo children.

Take Sports M1ore SeriouslyAs for sports at Tech, Warren

thinks that Tech could win more ifthe students took sports more seri-ously. He hopes that as the facili-ties improve, more men will bestimulated to come out for athletics,for he is convinced that there ismuch good material lurking withinthe dorms and fraternities.

About coaching-play hard andtry to win. And though coachingitself is just like play, he remembersthe phrase, "All coaches get ulcersand die young." To which he re-plies, "It's lots of fun."

(Lablurnum Grove)(Conttnued fron Page 8)

As a matter of fact, the play waschosenz not to be a starring vehiclefor all-Y one person,-and-since -theresult was excellent, credit belongsio all .

The Plot ThickensPlotwise, "Laburnum Grove".con-

cerns itself with the effect of therevelation to a very ordinarysuburban family ithat the head ofthe house has beea engaged inhighly illicit business, "crook work,"involving bank notes, commercialdocuments, and of course, engrav-iag plates. The master of the hoise,played by Professor AL StanleyLivingston, is ostensibly engaged'inthe wholesale iaper trade. ln orderto provide some excitement for hisdauhtier' who complains 'of thequietness of the Laburnum Grovecommunity and to put a stop to tiresome brother-in-law's reilni-scences about how things were oAtEast in Singapore and. vicinitywhere he had spent some years,the paterfamilias reveals his pastone summer evening,

There is a bit of to-do aboutwhether or not he is really a crookor whether he was pulling someone's leg (or rather several legs).Actually, Scotland Yard has pickedup his well-hidden trail, and he isvisited by -a certain Inspector Stackwhom he parries neatly by anu n-shakable calm. By the time the plothas ,boiled, thoroughly, Mr. ,Redfersnis forced to ditch the counterfeitingracket (he would have preferredthe term business) and take hisfamily on a long planned vacation.In 'short, the criminal gets away,and the subtitle, "An ImmoraComedy" is.justinied,

Prof. Gifford Plays AdventuxerIt's hardly a great play and by

no means as full of laughs as lastyear's "Spring, Fever," but it iswholly delightful. Mrs. H. P. DoRockwell makes an attractive, post-adolescet, romantic, imaginativedaughter of the house. And Mrs.Livingston does such a fine job asthe long suffering wife of the boringbrother-in-law .that one is almostafraid that Professor Livingstonreally has a long suffering wife onhis hands. Professor Alan T. Gifordplays the robust and talkativeveteran of foreign climes like arobust and talkative veteran offoreign climes; no more could beasked of any actor.
