New advances in technology arelargely dependent on the develop-ment of new materials, and on anunderstanding of the physics ofthe processes determining theirproperties, according to Dr. Rob-ert Allan Smith, British physicistwho has recenftly come to the Ins-titute to become the center's firstdirector.

Smith states: "Research on theproperties of atoms and moleculesand on their use as buildingblocks to form solids will be re-quired if we are to have materialssuch as new metallic alloys, semi-conductors, superconductors, plas-tics, and ceramics to meet fihestringent needs of modern engin-eering."

The Center for Materials Sci-ence and Engineering will be thesecond of five centers for teach-ing and research to be built undertthe Second Century Program.The Green Center for Earth Sci-ences is now under construction.7be Center for Life Sciences willbe started in the next few months,as soon as its financing has beencompleted. Other buildings plan-ned will house the Center forCommunications Sciences and theCenter for Space Research.

"This we believe has been ac-complished, and with remarkablesuccess," he concluded.

Second .Largest BuildingThe new Center for Materials

Science and Engineering will ex-tend along a line parallel to thecentral corridor of the main build-

ing. It will be connected byramps, corridors, and stairwayswith the Building 10 area.

The center will rise -to the sameheight as the main building; how-ever, having lower ceilings, it willcomprise five floors instead offour. Being 380 feet in length andhaving 160,000 square feet of floorspace, it will be the second larg-est building at MIT.

Constructed of concrete, the cen-ter will stand on massive piers,with walls of the first floor setback to create a colonnade effect.The facades will be dominated bya grid of vertical and horizontalstructural columns and beams,broken by narrow concrete span-drels separating fuU-!ength win-dows set back two feet.

A team of researchers led byDr. Robert M. Dowben, visit/ing

-professor of biology at MIT, an-nounced significant progress in ar-'re~ting muscular dystrophy at the16th clinical meeting of the Ameri-can Medical Association.

The reserchers found that twodrugs, a steroid called 1-methyl-delta-l-androstenolone, and digi-toxim, a digitalist compound, re-tard the progress of the disease.

The .researchers spent 6 yearsand 'a.most $300,000 teSting 93

compounds on dystrophic white

mice. The most effective of these,

the steroid and digitoxin, were

then tested on humans. Both work-

ed to some extent, so ithey were

then administered in combination,

and produced better effects.Dr. Dowben believes that mus-

cular dystrophy may -be at least

-part'ially due to the leaking of cellfluid Ithrough the membranes of

the cell. These drugs serve to de-

crease the amount of leakage,

,thereby decreasing the rate of de-'terioration of muscular tissues as

· New Sport Organized At VassarGirls' Answer To President's Call

"In part to answer President Kennedy's call forphysical fitness" was the reason given last week forthe formation of a tiddlywink society at MIT. Thesemust be very stirring words for the college student,for these same words were cited at Vassar as thereason for its new team. This team, however, iscompeting not in tiddlywinks, but in football. Truethat it's only touch football, but Vassar's notshirking rough opponents. Games have alreadybeen scheduled with Lehigh and Princeton.

Vassar' already has two games under its belt.In its first action the team lost 14-6 to a men'steam from Sienna College, near Albany. Thesecond match, according to a Vassar halfback,proved that the team is "just rounding into topform." In this game the girls held the male Vassarfaculty members to a 12-12 tie.

Anyone planning to challenge the team shouldknow that Vassar insists on fielding a team ofeleven girls while limiting its opposition to eightmen. But, then, what man will complain about theodds?

Fallout Shelter, Anyone?What to do in case of a nuclear attack continues

to be a much-discussed problem around the na-tion's colleges. "College World" last week reportedan article in The Polytechnic Reporter (PolytechnicInstitute of Brooklyn) claiming that fallout 'sheltersin the New York area are ridiculous.

And as do all major problems, this, too, hasarisen at the University of British Columbia. ThetUbyssey, in its usual investigative spirit, decidedthat its readers,should be informed of what to do inthe event of a nuclear attack.

The natural first step in the investigation was tocall the provincial Civil Defense headquarters forinformation, but no one was there to answer thephone. The next step was to call the local Van-couver CD unit. No one there knew what to do,but they suggested calling the University switch-board. That was the usual procedure, they said.

You'll smoke with a fresh enthusiasmwhen you discover the cool 'air-softened"taste of Salem

* menthol fresh e rich tobacco taste . modern filter, to

But the switchboard operator wasn't sure Whatto do either so she switched the call to Buildingsand Grounds. Buildings and Grounds switched thecall to Sir Ouvry Roberts, UBC Director of Traffic.

Sir Ouvry wasn't available but one of his stathought he was "something honorary on UBCCivil Denfense."

Undaunted, The Ubyssey then called the Uri.versity Fire Department where the fire chief saidthis his department was responsible only for puttigout fires-not for evacuating students in case ofnuclear attack.

The Ubyssy called back to Buildings andGrounds and spoke to an assistant superintendentwho informed them that Bev Twaites of the depart.ment of pathology was "co-ordinator of civil defensefor the University."

But no. Twaits said M. E. Ferguson, manager ofUniversity Endowment Lands, was in dcharge. TheUbyssey was finally getfting somewhere. Fergusonat least knew something.

"There are no fallout shelters on campus," hesaid, "but there are some places suitable for takingcover." He added that Sir Ouvry Roberts wasmaking plans for the safety of students living inthe dorm. "But they are just plans-there's nohigconcrete."

The final procedure seems to have been out.lined by Major James R. Stafford of the CanadiarArmy who said that the best thing students coulddo was to "hide somewhere in a basement."

Stubborn As A GoatA procedure equally as mysterious to some stu.

dents was how to get a good act out of a goat.The animal cast as a symbolic bad omen in"The Rose Tattoo", proved to be a constant head.ache to fellow actors at the University of Minne.sota.

The first problem to arise was finding a sonvenient place to keep the goat. The actors thought

they had solved this by buildinga pen for the goat in the scene:shop, but after only three hours a

..... B : .man from the University Health.Service arrived to tell them thatthey absolutely had to move thegoat because it was illegal to keep-a live animal on the campus.

The goat was moved off campus!this making it necessary for a cast-member to ferry the goat back-and forth in his car each night. -

4ar But problems did not end here.Once the goat was in the theater,.it became necessary to furnishhim with a constant attendant. Or

: else he would cry through the-.. :..:: .whole play.

To make matters worse, the goathad stage-freight. Instead of gal-loping freely across the stage oncue he froze up. Consequently,-"galloping" had to be redefined asi"dragging along at the end ofa tight rope."

An obvious solution, perhaps.would be to cast a replacement-goat. Don't think that this wasn't.tried! But being bitten on stage.by a goat can be a very embar-rasing thing. Of stage-fright and-viciousness, stage-fright was votedto be the .lesser of two evils.

New T3pe of GrantAn omnipresent problem for al-

most every university is that offinances. A partial solution i=grants and endowments. Grants,however, come in all sorts of-shapes and sizes. The latest col-lege to be reminded of this was-Middlebury College.

The grant, donated by a Mid-dlebury alumnus, was in the form-

j/ @ | of fuel oil-7,200 gallons' worthf.-,~.. _ l ~The gift was motivated by an oc-

currence in the alumnus' fresh-man year. In the spring of 1917Middlebury was forced to close

.. its doors early. It had completeldyexhausted its reserve of fuel ol. -

.. Since then, the alumnus has goneinto the fuel oil business. The mon-

Educational Defense Dept.Washington "'Revamps ROTCWASHINGTON-- The Defense Department has wrapped a cloa

of secrecy around the details of a new ROTC program which 0soon be offered at American Colleges and Universities on a pumvoluntary basis.

It is clear, however, that the services are backing away fromtlarge compulsory ptrogram they have been using to get needed doficers. Instead, incoming freshmen would be throughly screenedtests and interviews. Those qualifying would be offered scholarshilto cover the costs of their education.

Students who accept the government's offers wouldn't take Pallin any military training until the summer between the sophomore amjunior year. Then they would go to summer camp, and continue thitraining on campus during the junior and senior years, with a sectssummer training period coming after graduation. '

While the new program wasn't expected to get to Capitol L

before 1964, it now appears that the proposal will be taken up earu_in the first session of the 88th Congress, which convenes in JanuarPressure from Universities and Colleges and the Armned Forces iigiving the new program a needed push.

Defense Secretary Robert McNamara has approved the chang~agreed up on by officials of the Army and Air Force. The proposals Ao4are being reviewed by the Bureau of the Budget, which must apprivethem before Congress can act.

Still hidden behind a Pentagon curtain are some very imporsdetails of the proposals. The amount of the scholarships is one pothat the Bureau of the Budget may alter. Scholarships now grantedunder a Navy program which is the prototype of the new progra~range between $1,000 and $2,000 per year. i

The amount of the scholarship is crucial because it will receivevery close attention from the House and Senate Armed Services C~mittee.

Also unclear is when the students would be commissioned. On1faction in the Pentagon is pumping for commissioning on graduati0~Another hopes to delay it until after the second summer camp. Whamever decision is finally made by the Pentagon and the Bureau of [fiBudget, will get a Congressional "going over."

Many institutions are showing that they don't have to wait Aocongressional action. Land grant universities are required only t0offer military programs-not mandatory ones.

Defense officials report that more than a dozen schools have ai;ticipated the new ROTC program by cutting back the mandatory tNtyear programs to one year, and in some cases doing away with tImandatory provision entirely.

If the selective scholarship ROTC program does get through Gotgress, many college -and university administrators are hoping to offetraining in more than one service.

Because of the size of present campus military programs, the_have to be either Army or Air Force. With smaller training grouqschools will be able to offer students ROTC programs in both servies-or eventually, all of them.

The Armed Services are now favoring the selective programbecause of the low efficiency of the large mandatory programs. i

The services, especially the Air Force, have been on the losinlend of the wandstory ROTC programs. At any large land grant edlversity, where law requires a military program, thousands ofmen are "force-fed" their first taste of military life.

Four years later, the service ends up with only a handful of 019ficers. Under the compulsory program, it is common to find FreAlmen ROTC programs for over 1,000 students which produce onlyor 40 officers at graduation.

resigned until it was announced in TheTech.

We ask ourselves why there seems tobe so little interest in working for aca-demic improvemen.ts here. Certainly thisis the consuming interest of many under-graduates who are willing to sweat bloodfor an MIT degree. Inhere are severalthings we believe SCEP can do, given agood chairman, to become a valuable or-ganization. The first is to realize its lim-itaticns. Educational changes must comefinally from the faculty; we would nothave it otherwise. But there are manyareas in which the, student committeecan work and achieve good results.

Sometimes it is hard for a studentgroup with varied ideas and backgroundsrepresented to see where it can bestspend its time. If the group was givena context for cooperation, such as regularand hopefully frequent meetings wistlh thefaculty's Committee on EducationalPolicy this problem would probablyvanish. In addition by understanding theproblems that concern the faculty at agiven time SCEP's suggestions would cer-tainly prove more pertinent.

SOEP should -relinquish the idea thatonly educational subjects of a sweepingnature, like the grading system, concernit. If its members carried out a really ,tho-roughn study of some of the "problemcourses" they -would undoubtedly learnso much,that they could not only be heop-ful in the area of the study, but couldthen begin -thinking of some of the prob-lems shared by most MIT departments.

We would like to see more interest inSCEP, but there will only be more inter-est when the committee applies itself tobetter defined and more useful activities.The new chairman will have to leadSCEP out of the mire; we hope he is able.

pands and the size of the communityincreases, it seems clear that an expan-sion of the Medical Service is in the of-fing. We urge the planners to considerthe establishment of a clinical dental ser-vice to care for student needs.

While members of the staff may findit easy to get .regula-r dental care in theirhome community, it is inconvenient, tosay the least, for students who live on ornear the campus to do so. A small, butregular clinic as a part of the medical De-partment could be of great value to stu-dents in the area.

you can lose only one trick. Theother thirteen per cent of the time.he will show out, you lust losetwo tricks and you can call your-self a victim df cruel fate. Finallyten percent of the time, one ofthe opponents will show out, againryou cannot misplay the suit, forif it is West, you must lose twotricks anyway.

The end result is this: the playof the Ace insures loss of one trickin situations ahere one trick onlycan be 'lost.

Both sides vulnerable, and withsixty partials. You South hold:

Q 2, f*K4, + J1098, + KQ

West opens with one club, Northand East pass. What do you bid?Answer One notrump. This isessentially a balancing bid, prom-ising nothing more than what youhave. The important thing to re-member is this, There is nothingon this earth poorer than a playerwho passes his partner's one -clubopening with a sixty partial on.Your partner is marked with

about ten points, or more. If youdidn't have a sixty partial your

self, a pass would be proper,since you could not be sure of

game your way.This week's hand:

You South hold:* K10765, f* 543, * QJ10,

South Dealt. Neither Side Vul-nerable. The Bidding:SOUTH WEST NORTH EASTpass pass 1 + pass

1 4 pass 3 * pass3 notrump ALL PASS

West led the Queen of Hearts.South, as far as he is concerned,

was ,a victim of cruel fate on to-day's hand. Playing at ThreeNotrump, he won the heart Queenopening with his Ace, and led thetwo of diamonds. ,Dummy's Queenwas played, and East won withhis singleton King. Back came an-other heart, South winning withthe King. Now another diamondwas led and South was on the bigguess.

Should he finesse dummy's -ten,or play East for the King and Jackof diamonds? South finally put upthe Ace. East chuckled, as mostplayers do after winning singletonkings. West just sat patiently with

his good hearts until he diasthrown in with the diamond Jack,after which he cashed them. Downone.

South's play aof the Queen of dia-monds to the first trick of the suitwas an expensive one. It couldonly be justified if he needed allsix diamond tricks to make hiscontract. There is a simple butspectacular safety play for the lossof one diamond trick, in all casesexcept when East holds all the dia-

monds, in which case naught willavail.

Souti's proper play was the Aceof diamonds to start the SAit. No,he didn't peek. But be sure thenext time you drop a singletonKing this way that you rememberthe reason for playing the Ace onthe first trick, it will keep youfrom losing friends.

The reasoning is simple. It takesyou off all the guesses in the suit.First of all, thirteen per cent ofthe time a singleton Jack or Kingwill appear in the hand sittingover the Ace. Now you can onlylose one trick. Likewise, thirteenpercent of the time, a singletonhonor will appear in the hand sit-ting under the Ace. This you can-not misplay either. Sixty four per-cent of the time both opponentswill play small cards. You now en-ter to the other hand and lead upto the Queen-Ten combhination.Fif ty one per cent of the time,West will now play either theKing, or Jack on this trick arid PEANUTS appears daily and Sunday in fhe Boston

COMMITTEES:AN AGONIZING RE-APPRAISAL

To those of you who stay out of your student governmentbecause you believe the committee system is just an excusefor inaction, let me cite an example to prove that a committee,properly led and directed, can be a great force for good.

Last week the Student Council met at the Duluth Collegeof Veterinary Medicine and Belles Lettres to discuss purchasinga new doormat for the students union. It was, I assure you, adesperate problem because Sherwin K. Sigafoos, janitor of thestudents union, threatened flatly to quit unless a new doormatwas installed immediately. "I'm sick and tired of mopping thatdirty old floor," said Mr. Sigafoos, sobbing convulsively. (Mr.Sigafoos, once a jolly outgoing sort, has been crying almoststeadily since the recent death of his pet wart hog who hadbeen his constant companion for 22 years. Actually, Mr. Sigafoosis much better off without the wart hog, who tusked himviciously at least once a day, but a companionship of 22 yearsis, I suppose, not lightly relinquished. The college tried to giveMr. Sigafoos a new wart hog-a frisky little fellow with floppyears and a waggly tail-but Mr. Sigafoos only turned his backand cried the harder.)

pe omyarl dBut I digress. The Student Council met, discussed the door-

mat for eight or ten hours, and then referred it to a committee.There were some who scoffed then and said nothing-wouldever be heard of the doormat again, but they reckoned withoutInvictus Millstone.

Invictus Millstone, chairman of the doormat committee,was a man of action-lithe and lean and keen and, naturally, asmoker of Marlboro Cigarettes. .Why do I say "naturally"?Because, dear friends, active men and women don't have timeto brood and bumble about their cigarettes. They need to becertain. They must have perfect confidence that each time theylight up they will get the same gratifying flavor, the sameSelectrate filter, the same soft soft-pack, the same flip topflip-top box. In brief, dear friends, they need to be sure it'sMarlboro--for if ever a smoke was true and trustv, it's Marlboro.Get some soon. Get matches too, because true and trustythough Marlboros are, your pleasure will be somewhat limitedunless you light them.

Well sir, Invictus Millstone chaired his doormat committeewith such vigor and dispatch that when the Student Councilmet only one week later, he was able to rise and deliver thefollowing recommendations:

1. That the college build new schools of botany, hydraulicengineering, tropical medicine, Indo-Germanic languages, andmillinery.

2. That the college drop football, put a roof on the stadium.and turn it into a low-cost housing project for married students.

3. That the college raise faculty salaries by $5000 per yearacross the board.

4. That the college secede from the United States.5. That the question of a doormat for the students union

be referred to a subcommittee.So let us hear no more defeatist talk about the committee

system. It can be made to work! © 1962 Max Shulman

You don't necd a committee to tell you how good Marlborosare. You just need yourself, a Marlboro, and a set of tastebuds. Buy some Marlboros soon at yo4r favorite tobaccocounter.

I 'Shoot The Piano Player' At FenwayBy Gliberto Perez-Guillermo

"Shoot the Piano Player"("Tirez sur le Pianiste") is Fran-cois Truffaut's 2nd film, 'the 3rdin order of release in the U.S.(after "Less Quatre Cents Coups"and "Jules and Jim"). Like theother films, "Shoot the PianoPlayer" is a highly personalwork, a very refreshing one, al-ways reflecting Truffaut's obviousdelectation with the art of movie-making ("The film of tomorrowwill be an act of love", said Tru-ffaut a few years ago). "Shootthe Piano Player" is a portrait ofa little man, a subject dear toTruffaut. His handling of it isquite unconventional, with a con-tinuous mixing of moods andgenres, photographed in a fluid"free camera" style, in perennialmotion, adding sharp cuts and animaginative montage, frequentlychanging the tempo, 'often resort-ing to close-ups in the mannerof Griffith. The film is sometimesbaroque, sometimes austere. Ithas weak moments and brilliantmoments. By and large, however,it is a most intriguing, amusingmovie to watch.

"I enjoy unexpected details, de-tails that prove nothing, detailsthat show how vulnerable menare." Truffaut said recently (inan interview in "France Observa-teur"). This is clear to the viewerof "Shoot the Piano Player".Truffaut's characters are many-sided, full of little weaknesses andfunny details. Much of the comedyin the film is due to this.

The central character, Charlie(superbly played by Charles Az-navour) is an unobtrusive, gentleman who plays the piano at a bar.Charlie had once been famousas a concert pianist, but uponlearning that his wife had givenherself to his impresario in orderto get him a contract, he had quitand started a new life. In a bril-liant scene, his wife confesses (wesee a close-up of her, a beautifulblonde, against an- austere settingof white walls; after she hasfinished, Charlie walks out; sud-denly he hears something and runsback to the room, the camera fol-lowing him in his frantic motion;

.she had jumped out the windowand Charlie sees her lifeless bodylying on the street). Charlie is at-tractive to women, and too many-of them bestow their favors uponhim on the screen, in scenes fairlyconventional. There is one signifi-cant exception: the scene with thewaitress Lena, when he recalls hisearly life. We see a superpositionof shots of the room and a close-up of the lovers, then an altera-tion of two different shots ofCharlie and Lena at two different

times, an excellent technicalachievement.

Charlie's life is empty, andTruffaut looks kindly upon him When Charlie's last hope fades-and he resumes his meaninglessdaily pursuit, Truffaut has corn.mpleted a warm, human portrait>of him. In it there are elementsof comedy, pathos, melodrama, in.a mixture that does not alwaysblend, but that results in a gene-rally successful, technically bril. {liant movie which the reader mustnot miss.

ment. A.s it opened, IN THE

COUNTING HOUSE is a collec-

tion of bright possibilities loosely

held together. There is, for in-stance, a delightfully funny office-party in act -two, sparked by KayMedford, as an aged receptionistwith low alcohol-tolerance. Thereis Sydney Chaplin, whose final dis-integration is a sudden, terrifyingadmission that, for some, therecan be no freedom from entangle-ments. There is Howard Da Silva,in a fine, strong performance ofa father too old to be bold, tooaware of position to be forgiving,too timid to refuse compromise.Barbara Murray as the unfortun-ate secretary caught in an affairthat turns into a battleground, isa very moving, realistic charac-ter.

But, save for occasional scenes,there is not yet a play to hold

these bright moments meaning-fully together, nor are there yet

finished performances, even by

the best players.The first act is particularly

rough, with -many of the small

parts done badly. One has the

feeling that their lines were in-

serted only recently, to jazz up -the

realistic atmosphere. Kay Med-

ford had quite little to do there,

which makes her act two explo-

sion somewhat of a surprise. Her

part will 'fatten before the Broad-

way opening.One of the biggest assets the

play has, in tis incubation-period,is Arthur Penn as director. Mr.Penn has made a reputation forhimself by making excellent plays.Considering the excellent Taw-ma-terial on view at the Wilbur, hestands a good chance of makinganother.

Anyone unlucky enough to have

seen SENDMAN & SON a few

weeks ago, will feel odd watching

IN THE COUNTING HOUSE. Les-lie Weiner's new play is almosta mirror-image of that comedy.The same elements are present:garment-industry nepotism, the

youth-age struggle, the extra-cur-ricular affair that disrupts the of-fice. But where Elick Moll madecomedy, Leslie Weiner {has treatedhis material with deadly serious-ness, and has made a much bet-ter play.

Woody Hartman, the young sonin his firm, celebrates his fortiethbirthday in the opening scene;his ideals include high-level ac-tivity in S.A.N.E. and the N.A.A.C.P. His ideals are genuine, andhe runs his business life accordingto them. He commands the re-spect of his business associates,the affection of his staff. And yetby act three, his ideals, his mar-riage, his love-affair and his busi-ness have totally disintegrated. In-this much more real 'businessworld, nothing decays faster 'thanprinciples.

This review is, quite frankly,more a prediction than a judge-

Analog Computers FindNew Role In libraries

By Mike Shorenstein

A new application for computers

.is -being developed by the Arthur

D. Little Company. The idea is to

use analog computers to indexsources of information such aslibrary catalogs.

Speaking on WGBH's "MIT Sci-ence Reporter" November 15, Dr.Vincent GGuiliano, Staff ResearchAssistant at pitt-le, outlined theprogress made in this project.

Guiliano explained that an ana-log system is better suited to in-dexing work than a digital sys-tem. Analog computers are op-erated on the principle of con-tinually varying quantities, where-as digital devices follow the prin-ciple of "all or nothing," in feed-ing out information.

Thius in a digital indexing program, only one strongly relatedsource will be -provided for anygiven topic. An analog program,however, will offer several sourc-es in order of their strongest re-lation to the topic.

As an example, Dr. Guiliano il-lustrated a highly simplified op-eration of a library indexing sys-tem in which specific sources ofmaterial are identified when asubject is fed into the computer.

Several Ateps toward practicalapplication of library indexing onthis basis are'being considered bythe Little researchers. Guilianoestimates that this analog associa-tion network will be able to ac-commodate 100,000 documents andseveral hundred index terms.

Other uses to be found for tthissystem include indexing legaldocuments and catalog;ing med-ica'l symptoms for quick reference.Guiliano also stated that comput-ing by association is a basic op-erating principle for automaticlanguage translation in which se-mantics presents obstacles.

The Little computer is construct-ed of linear circuit elements.Whereas most analog systemshave a few thousand links, Little'sI will have several million links.

Mariner 11 Measures Solar Wind,Beams Data Back From Space

By John Montanus

Mariner II, America's Venus-probe rocket fired Aug. ZZ, has beensteadily sending back data on the oonditions in interplanetary space.Professor Levrett Davis Jr. and Dr. Conway W. Snyder of Cal Techreprced some cf this data at a seminar of the Department of Physicson Tues., Nov. 20. The topics discussed were taken from a small partof the total data returned by Mariner II.

The satellite contains a spectrometer to probe one of the pheno-mena discovered on earlier American and Russian attempts, the socalled "solar wind." This "wind" consists of a Stream of electronsconstantly radiated from the sun. Previous data had established littlemore than the existence of the s§trern; Mariner II now has sentalmost 63 days' continuous data, interrupted only by an eight-day silu-dcwn fcr repairs. The instruments measure the energy of the streamin ten different levels; to compile a complete spectrum of the streamtakes 3 minutes and 46 seconds. The data is available in about threehours; most of the difficulties are encountered in getting the datafrom the various tracking stations around the globe.

Analysis of over 20,000 measurements shows that the wind blowsconstantly at velocities ranging from 3i5 to 700 ]km/sec. There wasgreat variation in the activity of the "wind", with periods of com-parative calm followed by prolonged stormas. Coincident studies witha magnetometer reveal that the storms also disrupt the interplanetarymagnetic field. Variation in this field ranges from 7/10 to 20 gamma(1 gamma equals 10 exp-5 gauss) .

There still remains much to be learned from Mariner II beforeit passes Venus on Dec. 14, but more satellites wall be needed toprovide additional data on the solar particle stream. A~s yet the datais insufficient to theorize to any extent on the causes of the "solarwind. "

The electrodes, which consist ofa silver chloride core coated withbromine, are shielded to preventerosion. Since ocean current isconfined to a certain distancealbove the ocean floor, 'the elec-trodes must be suspended abovethis "skin depth."

One problem which arises inthese measurements is interfer-ence -from the earth's gravitation-al field. Inaccuracy in the dataresult if 'it is not distinguishedfrom -the field set up by the oceancurrent.

Computer DethronesChampion Champion AtWorld's Oldest GameA Lincoln Laboratory computer

'has captured the world's Kalahchampionship from William A.Champion of Holbrook, Mass.

I didn't even have a chance,"commented ex-champion Cham-pion on his defeat. He had accum-ulated hundreds of victories inthe twenty years he has beenplaying what the Coop calls "theworld's oldest mathematicalgame."

Kala~h is played on a board withsix pits on each side and twooval depressions, or kalahs, oneach end: Players move 'fdicatorsin their own pits toward theirhome kalah. The game is com-pleted when one player has allhis pits empty.

The winner is then the playerwith the most counters in hishome kalah. A player can cap-ture opposing counters 'by land-ing a single counter of his ownopposite a pit containing the op-position indicators.

The computer was programmedto play the ancient game as anexercise, but the calculator exhib-ited such talent that it promptedthe Lincoln Lab scientists tomake the challenge.

The computer makes its moveson the basis of "utity," a ratingin whidc units of desirability areassigned to each play on the ba-sis of advantage to -the computeror disadvantage to -the opponent.Having a perfect record since itstenth game, the computer indi-cates that it has greater abilitythan humans to think of futuremoves at the same time it makesplays -in the present.

IM Icemen SetTo Begin Season

Tech's intramural hockey sea-son gets underway this week, withaction highlighted by several im-portant contests.

Probably the most interestingcontest this week should be theLeague A game between Phi Gam-ma Delta and Delta Psi. The Fi-jis took last year's championship,and Delta ,Psi was -last year'sdark horse, taking third place ,byvirtue of a series of upsets. Inan important League B contest,Grad House meets Theta DeltaChi. Both of these living groupsfield perennially strong squadsand finished high in last year'sstandings.

·Donald Krotser, a graduate stu-derst in Course XI, presented alecture November 19 on "Electro-magnetic Methods for Measuring

Water Motion."His -talk was given for a Semi-

nar in Oceanographic Instrumen-tation sponsored by the Meteo-rology and Geology Departments.

Krotser, who studied ocean cur-rents in the Pacific in 1958, ex-plained the present method ofmeasuring currents -by electricalmeans. When two electrodes areplaced in -the water several hun-dred yards apart at right anglesto the current flow. they will reg-ister a small voltage on an ap-propriate measuring device. Thevoltage is induced -by a magneticfield set up -by the oean current.

Graphing voltage measurementsvs. time, one may obtain an ac-curate record of ocean currentflow. The variance is of-ten ashigh as 15 millivolts. Theoretical-ly, the device should register 25millivolts per knot of current atan electrode separation of 1 kilo-meter. Besides its application inoceanography, adaptions of thisinstrument have found use inmeasuring blood flow and circula-tion in pipes.

Our engineers developed special techniques to solvethe welding problem. They found a process whicheliminates the crystalline pattern on galvanized steeland produces a surface that will accept a high-qualitypaint job.

Now zinc can be married to steel and used for vitalunderbody parts and rocker panels of Ford-built cars.The zinc coating forms a tough barrier to corrosivemoisture-and if corrosion attacks, the zinc sacrificesitself through galvanic action, saving the steel.

Other avenues explored in the fight against rust alsobrought results: special zinc-rich primers to protectkey body areas, aluminized and stainless steels toextend muffler life, quality baked-enamel finishes thatare more durable (and look better).

Fraternities at Amherst Collegeare now given the choice of main-taining their financial independ-ence or turning their propertyover to the college in return forthe college's paying the local tax-es and assessments.

The fraternity men would thenpay room rent to the college.

Amherst would also take care ofupkeep and insurance.

The plan was first proposed twoyears ago by the trustees of Am-herst. More than half the Am-herst fraternities have already ac-cepted the college's proposal. Theplan will go into effect in Septem-ber, 1963.

Campus interviews at Massachusetts Institute of Tech-nology will be conducted on November 29, to select

qualified engineers and physicists to take part in the devel-opment of Stanford University's new two-mile linearelectron accelerator.

The accelerator, being built under a $114,000,000 con-tract with the Atomic Energy Commission, is designed toproduce an electron beam of 10-20 Bev (billion electronvolts), which can be increased to 40 Bev should it laterprove desirable. Planned for completion in six years, theStanford Linear Accelerator Center will then take itsplace among the principal international centers of particlephysics research.

The Center presents an outstanding opportunity towork in highly stimulating intellectual atmosphere. It issituated on the 9,000 acre Stanford University campus onthe beautiful San Francisco Peninsula. Engineers andPhysicists working toward advanced degrees in the follow-ing fields are especially needed at this time: -ELECTRONBEAM OPTICS i KLYSTRON TUBE DEVELOPMENT a MICRO-

WAVE ENGINEERING IN MACHINE DESIGN.

To arrange for an interview on the above date, pleasecontact your University (or Engineering) PlacementOffice. If this is inconvenient, write Mr..G.. F. Renner,Employment Manager, Stanford Linear AcceleratorCenter, Stanford Univcrsity, Stanford, California. Anequal opportunity employer.

'Athletic Student'By George McQuilken

In recent years Tech athleticteams have been able to competefavorably with teams from schoolsof similar standards and purpose.This has led to speculation about6hanges in the athletic policy hereat the Institute.

According to Mr. Ross Smith,Director of Athletics, the primary.aim of the M.I.T. athletic pro-grams today are basically thesame as they were in 1910. Thatyear Dr. Rockwell stated that thepurpose of an athletic programwas: "to produce athletic studentsrather than student athletes."'Tech' Policy Adopted Elsewhere

This policy is now being adoptedby many other colleges, most ofwhich are disillusioned with com4mercialized sports. This is es-pecially true where spectatorvalues seem to over-emphasizedat the expense of general studentparticipation. Boston Universityhas decided to de-emphasize foot-ball, and the Ivy League schoolsprohibit post-season competition.Sports Program Serves PurposeIn addition to physical benefits

Smith sees athletics as servingtwo purposes. 1: They provide theathlete with a sense of belongingwhich develops loyalty; 2: They

Former OlympianPublicizes Sports

Mr. Peter M. Close, the MIT'snew Athletic Publicity Director,is experienced in both athleticsand publicity. A New Englanderby birth, he grew up in Man-chester, Connecticut, and attendedschool locally. Mr. Close is a grad-uate of Saint John's Universityon Long Island, where he partici-pated in track and cross country.He received a B. A. in Englishin 1959, and that year he wasnamed to the All-American TrackTeam.

After graduation, Mr. Closejoined ithe Marine Corps, wherehe continued to participate inathletics and began writing ath-letic publicity. He was a success-ful olympic candidate, and com-peted in the 1500 meter event inthe 1960 Olympics. After theOlympics, Mr. Close became headof the Athletic Program at CampLejeune in North Carolina.

Mr. Close feels that his primaryfunction is letting people knowabout the superior athletic teamshere at Tech. He hopes to im-prove the public image of MIT'ssports program, heavily publiciz-ing victories.

Coach's Corner

American Wrestling-1492 To Present

By W. R. ChasseyAmerican ,Indians competed in

wrestling matches long before thearrival of Christopher Columbus.Among the English, Dutch, Frenchand the Spanish settlers, wrestlingwas frequently the main attractionat social gatherings and fairs.

Through the Civil War period,wrestling in the U.S. was strictlyon an amateur basis. Followingthe War between the States, somewrestlers became such spectacularperformers -that 'there was a de-mand for them outside their owncommunities. At first, they wereonly paid their expenses, 'but asinterest increased, they demandedpart of the gate receipts. Thiswas the ,beginning of modern pro-fessional wrestling which todayhas become a brutal and sadisticshow bearing little resemblance tothe sport of wrestling.

First Tournament in 1905Intercollegiate wrestling had its

beginning in this country in 1900when the Universities of Yale andPennsylvania competed in the firstdual meet. It proved so popularthat college wrestling spreadthroughout the East. As a result,the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrest-ling Conferenf e was formed in1904 to draw up a uniform set ofrules to govern competition. Thefirst intercollegiate tournamenttook place under the auspices of

this organization in the spring of1905. They have taken place an-nually ever since. Many other con-ferences have been establishedsince, including our own -New Eng-land Association.

NCAA Forms Rules Committeein 1927, the National Collegiate

Athletic Association organized 'theWrestling Rules Committee. ThisCommittee is responsible 'for set-ting up a uniform code of rulesfollowed by all college wrestlingteams. The authorities have notallowed tradition to stop improve-ment. There has been a constantrevision of the rules. The wrestlingof today 'bears slight resemblanceto the style of thirty years ago.The rules have been changed toprevent injuries and to make thesport more enjoyable to the partic-ipants and the spectators.

Two Styles In OlympicsEvery country has its' own style

of wrestling. However, in theOlympics, all countries use eitherthe Graeco-Roman style or Catch-as-Catch-Can style. In Graeco-Ro-man wrestling tripping below -thehip and all holds applied on thelegs are prohibited. A fall occurswhen both of a man's shoulderstouch the mat simultaneously. TheCatch-as-Catch-Can is regarded asa compromise which is acceptedby all nations who compete. The

wrestlers are permitted to takeholds below 'the hips and a fallis declared when both shoulderstouch the malt simultaneously.

The European approach towrestling stresses the ability tosecure locks on an opponent whilein a standing position and throwhim to the mat for a quick pin.The American style puts greateremphasis on take-downs thiat allow'the wrestler 'to control his oppon-ent after he has Ibeen brought tothe mat. 'From this riding position,the American wrestler tries towork his opponent into a fall.

American Method PreferredIn Olympic wrestling, a fall is

declared when a man's shoulderstouch the mat simultaneously. Thistouch fall tends to make the con-'testants work very slowly andcautiously. As a result, this stylehas not gained 'popularity with theAmerican wrestlers or public.

Under our Intercollegiate rules,the opponents shoulders must beheld continuously to the mat fortwo full seconds to secure a fall.This has speeded up wrestling-andencouraged wrestlers to takegreater chances. It has permitteda wider range of holds, moves,and counters. Consequently, Amer-ican wrestling is considered moreinteresting to the spectator.

provide the student body with arallying point and a source ofpride. In order to increase thebenefits from this program, theteams should receive more pub-licity; and more students shouldbe encouraged to participate.

Pamphlet To Be DistributedOne method of increasing this

participation is through a pam-phlet being prepared by the Ath-letic Department for internal dis-tribution at the Institute nextsummer.

This publication will enumerateon the opportunities in intercolleg-iate, intramural, and club athlet-ics, the physical education pro-gram, and the athletic awardssystem.

In particular, it will describe indetail the role of the athlete andmanager in the eighteen varsityand sixteen IM sports, that MITcurrently offers. In addition, thepamphlet will survey Tech's littlepublicized yet highly successfulClub Program.

Intramural AquamenTo Clash This WeekMIT's Intramural Swim Meet

will begin with trials Wednesday,Nov. 28, and Thursday, Nov. 29,at 6:30 PM in the Alumni Pool.

Phi Delts Face Strong FoesPhi Delta Theta, winner of the

meet for the past two seasons, isagain a favorite. However, it ap-pears from previous records, thatGrad House, Sigma Phi Epsilon,Lambda Chi Alpha, Delta Upsilon,and Sigma Alpha Epsilon mayalso be prime contenders for thetrophy.

The meet will consist of swim-ming events in all strokes: butter-fly, backstroke, breaststroke, andfreestyle, in.addition to a 200 yd.medley relay and a 200 yd. free-style relay.

Finals Are SundayThe finals are scheduled for

Sunday, December 2, at 3 PMin the Alumni Pool. Spectatorsare urged to come and see themeet as the competition promisesto be keen.

Rugbymen ReachSemifinals

MIT's Rugby Club closed its'sea-son Sunday with a strong showingin the 7-a-side Rugby Tournamentat Van Courtland Park in NewYork. The Engineers entered twoteams, the first going all the wayto the semifinal round while thesecond squad topped Holy Crossbefore being stopped by Harvardin its second contest. Harvardwent on to win the tourney.

The first 'team fought its waythrough three opponents beforelosing to the New York RugbyClub 8-0. In the Engineers climb,they won by forfeit over Brown,walloped Long Island Rugby Club8-0, and stopped Army in an over-time thriller, 3-0.

Techmen first met the Rugby-men of New York two weeks agoin a contest which they dropped 6-0. Again the 'New Yorkers provedtoo much for MIT, however NewYork went on to finish second be-hind Harvard, Thus both Techsquads lost to the two top entreesin the thirty team tournament.

away at 2:00 p.m. Only one outof the top nine men is returningfrom last year and Coach EdCrocker will have to rely largelyon untried sophomores and juniors.

Icemen led by 5 veteransTech's icemen will meet the Uni-

versity of Massachusetts away at7:00 p.m. one week from today.Five lettermen, four forwards andone defenseman are returningfrom last year's team which post-ed the best record in the historyof MIT-nine wins, five losses andno ties. The returning lettermenare backed up by several promis-ing sophomores who should fillthe holes left in the defense posi-tions.
