Freshmen and Sophomores will havea chance to show their class spirit inthe several athletic events that wvillprecede the Field Day-clash. Most up-perclassmen can predict the "winnersvictorious" by judging the class par-ticipation in these pre-Field Dayevents.

Tug-of-WarTomorrowr, October 16, at 1:30 p.m.,

Briggs Field, there will be the un-limited Tug-of-War for Freshmen andSophomores. Freshmen can sign-upfor the event through their Section

A more controversial issue was in-troduced by Ashton C. Stocker '55,fraternity Inscormm representative.Stocker moved to rescind the motion,passed by Inscomm last year whichoutlawed "off campus hazing." Aftersome discussion, Stocker's motion wasreplaced by a substitute motion fromSherman J. Uchill '55, Baker Houserepresentative. Uchill's motion wouldoutlaw rides, but would require theJudicial Committee to act only if theperson taken on the ride lodges acomplaint. Uchill's motion was in turnamended by Garry L. Quinn '6, rep-r'esentative of the Class of 1956, toallow Judicial Committee to initiateaction even when no complaint islodged, if any personal injury occurs.This amendment was carried by a voteof 14-3, the nays being voiced byStocker-who considered the inclusionof such a provision "extraneous andridiculous"; Richard L. Peskin '56,Burton House Representative; andDavid Rados '55, Fraternity Repre-sentative.

Those favoring Uchill's motion asamended by Quinn argued that it al-lowed those who so wished to partici-pate in hazing and protected those whodid not wish to participate. The op-ponents of off-campus hazing averredthat it was facetious to expect anyoneto ask a freshman if he felt like go-ing for a ride and argued "hat thenew measure would effectively elim-inate anti-ride legislation by makingit unenforceable.

Rides Still BannedSince the motion would rescind a

previously passed motion, it requireseither a two-thirds vote of those pres-ent or a majority vote of the totalmembership of Inscorem for passage.The roll-call vote was one short ofthe necessary majority, as 10 mem-bers voted to permit rides, seven vot-ed against the motion, and two ab-stained. Two other members were ab-sent.

Voting for rides: Glenn D. Jackson'55, Richard L. Peskin '56, DavidRados '55, John S. Saloma '56, HenrySalzhauer '57, W. Chandler Stevens'55, C. Harry Schreiber '55, Ashton C.Stocker '55, Sherman J. Uchili '55,Roy W. Salzman '55.

Voting against rides: Stanley Becker(Continued on page 3)

Amstel attempted to close the meet-ing, and ordered a tape recorder turn-ed off. He unilaterally attempted toeject a The Tech reporter from thediscussion without debate, but wasprevented from doing so by vote ofthe House Committee.

The difficulties stalrted with a bilrth-day party for two students held about10:30 p.m. in the 4th floor room ofMarcos Sualrez '55. The participants,under the influence, made a great dealof noise, threw beer cans and bottlesfrom their windows to the street be-low and into the halls, broke aboutthree dozen light bulbs-plunging thesecond, th:'rd and fourth floor hallsinto total darkness-and ripped outan Institute phone.

According to the man at the desk,this group joined up with a party heldin the room of John Woulbroun '55at about 12:30 a.m. to go get someChinese food. On the way out severalof the students collapsed. While get-ting into their cars they greatly dis-turbed the residents of the hospitalnext to Baker, as they did again whenthey returned at about 2:40 a.m.

The night watchmen stated, "theyreally cut loose . . . many of themouite drunk . . . howling like maniacs,acting vulgar, stupid . . ." Some menengaged in water fights and broke twopumpkins on the second floor.

All the participants had been previ-ously warned against repeated noisyparties by Amstel', who summonedthe men to appear before the Commit-tee and read them the part of theDormitory By-Laws authorizing ac-tion and penalties for such offenses.

Most of the men admitted guilt. Onbeing questioned about previous of-fenses, one of the participants in therioting said, "If we keep drifting backto previous incidents, this is going tobe endless."

Two Football EventsAlso on B1riggs Field tomorrow will

be the first football game between1957 and 1958. The defeated class w-illhave a second chance at football onOctober 23 to redeem themselves be-fore Field Day. Whether there will beany points awarded for these eventstoward the Field Day score board, de-pends upon the number of underclass-men participating and supportingtheir team.

An All Tech WeekendIn recent years it has become in-

creasingly popular with underclass-men as well as upperclassmen to bringtheir dates to the Field Day festivi-ties, and even to take in some of the"Field Day-Junior Prom Weekend"by attending second night informalwhere the President of the winningclass receives the Field Day Trophy.Many of the underclassmen who hadany shreds of their glove left afterthe Glove Fight last year gave themto their dates for keepsake. Last yeargirls from all the Boston colleges wereon the M.I.T. campus, especially forthe Glove Fight event. Dor't worry!there will be plenty of blankets onhand for the unfortunate. After serious consideration, Institute Committee passed the

following motion an October 14, 1953:

"MSP--That all cases of hazing off campus which are reportedto the Judicial Committee, or which they learn about independently,shall be subject to Judicial Committee action. Forcing an individ-ual off campus shall be considered hazing."

As a corollary to this motion, the following was MSP at thesame meeting:

"The Executive Committee of InsComm shall promptly useevery possible means of publicizing the contents and intent of thisntotion."

The Judicial Committee feels that sufficient time has passedfor most students to be aware of this motion. The only possible ex-ception being the Class of 1958, we feel that this notice will servetc. inform that group.

Therefore, it will be the policy of the Judicial Committee totake immediate action on any further violations of this motion.

At this Wednesday'ssession, the committee voted to sponsor the publication of a booklet containingexcerpts flrom speeches Dr. Compton made when he was president of M.I.T.This booklet, titled "A Scientist Speaks," will contain many of his ideas aboutthe relation of science to other fields of thought and endeavor. Inscomin feelsthat this booklet will be valuable reading for all students, and a fittingmemorial to Dr. Compton from the Underfgraduate Association.

HELLJust what is meant by this word Hell ?They say sometimes it's hot as Hell!Sometimes they say it is cold as Hell!When it rains hard, it's Hell they cryIt's also Hell when it's dry.They hate like Hell to see it snow,It's a Hell of a wind when it starts to

blow.Now, how in the Hell can anyone tellWhat in the Hell they mean by Hell ?

This married life is Hell they say-When you come home late, there is

Hell to pay.It's Hell when the kid you have to tote,When he starts to bawl, it's a Hell of

a note.It's Hell when the doctor sends his

billsFor a Hell of a lot of trips and pills.When you get this, you'll know real

wellJust what is meant by the word Hell.

MORE PLUM ISLAND

By next Wednesday, unless student opinion is strongly op-posed, Institute Committee will have successfuly pulled the teethout of last year's motion to ban off-campus hazing. At Wednes-day's meeting, a move by Ashton C. Stocker '55 to rescind themotino passed last year regarding rides and other forms of off-campus hazing was amended by Sherman Uchill '56 and GarryQuinn '56 to provide that Judicial Committee would initiate ac-tion if the person hazed reported it to the committee, or. if personalinjury resulted. The amended motion failed to pass by but onevote. The two amendments at least prevent the original motion oflast year from becoming a complete failure, but they fail to servethe purpose intended.

The great majority of students here, sadly enough, considerit a low form of "squealing" to inform a responsible person thatthey have been "taken for a ride" or even that they have beeninjured during hazing. Because this attitude is so prevalent at theschool, the motion as it now stands is completely ineffective incurbing freshman hazing. Freshmen will still be taken out beforetheir quizzes, they will still be subjected to injury and harshtreatment, they will still come down with virus pneumonia aftera night on Plum isl, in the semi-nude, and, in short, they willstill be subjected ,i all the harsh and unfair treatment that orig-inal Inscomm motion was designed to stop.

This year's Institute Committee has demonstrated by thismotion, which appears destined to pass at a special meeting nextWednesday afternoon, that they have neither the courage nor thestrength of conviction of their predecessors. It may be true that afew enlightened members will fight this new proposal to the end,but we fear that the majority are of the type that does not resenthazing, as long as they are the ones to haze, rather than to behazed.

THE GREAT J. P. SWINDLE

In two weeks there will be a formal dance at the Hotel Statlerwhich is commonly referred to as the Junior Prom. The front tablesat this dance will be occupied primarily by seniors, sophomores,

-and even freshmen and other urchins. The juniors, meanwhile,will be located in the dark corners behind the potted palms, andout in the halls.

A year ago the Class of 1956 elected a Junior Prom Commit-tee. This Committee was entrusted with the duties of securing agood band for this dance, and of ensuring that the junior -classreceived special prefersnce in the matter of tickets and location.

This committee, headed by Oliver Johns '56, has succeededadmirably in the first of its goals, with the Sauter-Finegan orches-tra being signed to play. However, they have only partiallyreached their second objective. It is quite true that, under theoption system employed, the members of the Class of 1956 weregiven first chance at securing tickets, but, to quote the By-Lawsof the Junior Prom Committee, "These options shall guaranteethe holder a ticket to the prom, but shall not entitle him to anyparticular table location."

Therefore, while the juniors could assure themselves of a ticket,there was no preference of location. The system that was employedthis year gave an advantage to the seniors, sophomores, etc., whowere willing to sit up the majority of Tuesday night waiting inline for tickets. As a consequence, many of the best tickets weretaken from the juniors by such groups as the fraternities, whocould afford to "order" their pledges to endure the all night standbefore the general sale last Wednesday.

The 1955 Junior Prom Committee has successfully taken anarrow and biased view, by attempting to console the juniorsthrough the option system, and still giving the advantage of thebest tables and location to certain selected parties.

You'll find it is, quite literally, like noother car in the world-a heart-lifting blendof the true sports car with all that is bestin American engineering.

There is the velvet smoothness of aPowerglide automatic transmission (butwith the classic floor selector-lever).

The ruggedness of an X-braced boxgirder frame (but with the astonishing im-pact resistance of a glass-fiber-and-plasticbody).

Luurious seating for driver and passen-ger in deep foam rubber (but cradled inthe traditional security of bucket seats).

Generous luggage room, the panoramicsweep of a deeply curved windshield, theflair of tomorrow's styling (but within thepolo-pony compactness of a real road car).

The Corvette blends all this and more.For it is a driver's car . . . a low-slungtorpedo with a center of gravity only 18inches above the concrete... with outrig-ger rear springs that make it hold to theroad like a stripe of paint ... with a 16 to

Radar Discoversprivate Aircraft

Los- nOver PeanA small private plane lost in fog

over the Atlantic was located andguided to safety by the Institute'sRadar Station on Nantucket Island.At the time of its discovery the lostplane was 32 miles at sea on acourse toward Europe and had onlyan hour's supply of fuel.

On the afternoon of September 29,Mr. -L. B. Bachman, C.A.A. Directorat the Nantucket Airport, contactedM.I.T.'s radar station for help inlocating the missing aircraft. Radaroperators focused their attention onsmall planes and, by telephone tothe C.A.A. and then by radio fromthe C.A.A. to the plane, instructedthe pilot in maneuvers which identi-fied the plane on' the radar screens.The pilot was instructed to reversehis due-east course. At the sametime a Coast Guard rescue planewas directed into the path of thelost plane, where it made contactand guided it to a safe landing atthe Nantucket Airport. The plane hadfuel for only five minutes of flightwhen it landed.

In Fifth Season,Concert Band IsVNow OutstandingIt is probably safe to assume that

when the M.I.T. Concert Band .vasfounded, few people dreamed that infive years this group would be oneof the best, and largest of its kindin the East.

This organization, begun in 1949by James Burkhardt, 50 to play forthe mid-century convocation and theinauguration of President James R.Killian, is today creating a reputa-tion unique in the world of music;by playing original band composi-tions exclusively, they are establish-ing a new and exciting medium oftheir own.

It is interesting to note how thisunusual group developed during thepast few years. In 1950, when thefamed mid-century convocation tookplace, more people wished to attendthan could be accommodated. Tlheeasiest way to gain admittance wasto join the new concert band, or-ganized to play for the events-andthat is what approximately 75 Teth-men did.

The founders of the band soon re-alized that for a group of this sizea competent conductor would be nec--essary. Upon scouting around Bos-ton, the band found an energetic,young high school band director whowas willing to put in the many

Delta Tau Delta, whom we picked to win by eighteen points showed terrificpower in beating Phi Kappa 44-2. They'used a powerful line consisting of JoeTimms and Lou Giordano '58 and Jan Wenning '56 to rip the Phi Kappa's toshreds. They were great-that's the whole story.

Kappa Sig continued winning butnot before a really fine TEP squadthrew a good scare into them. TheTEP's are good and are improving;watch for them. The Kappa Sigs justmanaged to eke out a 6-0 victory.Baker A topped Theta Xi 7-6 anddidn't look as strong as expected.Phi Gam beat DU but only by a scoreof 8-0. This was one game we didn'tlike to watch. The FiJi's started outhot, they scored in the opening mirn-utes of play. Tom Hoffman '56 tooka pass and then scampered thirtyyards for the T.D. A safety immedi-ately followed this. Then Bill Water-son '57 got shaken up and had to betaken out. The FiJi's were never thesame. What hurt, though, was thefact that in the fourth qvarter TomHoffman was hit by a man who wasoff his feet and got up with a smashedelbow. An expensive lesson on whythe rule that a man may not leavehis feet to throw a block is in thebook.

In league two Sigma Chi showedsurprising power in trouncing PhiKappa Sig 39-6. We had them by 6.We also picked AEPi over the 5:15Club but the commuters ran all overthe fraternity boys. Possible reason

.. . some key players decided to gohome for thne weekend. Burton Housealso surprised us, not by winning, butby showing up to face Student House.The Student House boys played welland won by a 6-0 margin.

Delta Psi SurprisesOur second wrong choice came in

league three. Here we said that PhiKappa Sig would top Delta Psi bytwo T.D.'s. We were nineteen pointsoff as the Delt's emerged with a 7-0victory. Our supposed brainstorm waspicking Burton Student Staff to "up-set" Chi Phi by maybe six tallys. Theywon, all right, but by a score of 31-0.This team looms larger and larger inthe mind of anyone attempting to pre-dict league champions as they con-tinue to bulldoze any team thatcrosses their path.

Their opponents next week in whatshould be the ehampionship-decidingbattle, the Betas, made us look goodby besting Phi Delta Theta in whatwe said would be a "pick-em" game(we picked the Betas) by the "pick-em" score of 8-0. This game was closeall the way, the Beta's picking up thatsafety on the last play of the game.One touchdown is a mighty slim lead.That T.D., by the way, came on a passfrom Dick McLoughlin '57 to DonEvans. Ben Lightfoot '56 shone forthe losers.

SAE ImprovesWhich brings us to league four

where Theta Chi did just what it wassupposed to, ATO was too good (asfar as our predictions were concern-ed) and SAE got even with us for allthe uncomplimentary things we'vebeen saying by playing a whale of agame.

The Theta Chi-Pi Lam contest wasa well-played, hard-fought affair.Both teams exhibited strong lines andbalanced offenses. The Theta Chi'swon because of one reason, experi-ence. Their T.D. came on a Dave Scott'55-Dick Rush '55 pass. The safetywas made on the last play of thegame. We should be hearing from PiLam again. They shouldn't be keptdown.

ATO ImpressesThe ATO-East Campus battle prov-

ed one thing ... ATO is the biggest,roughest, and close to the best squadin the Institute. Their defense is eas-ily the most formidable around. In thefirst half of their game with the East-ies their defense was so good that theDorm-men had possession of the ballfor a total of eleven plays. John Stell-ing %56 and Tony Vertine '57 were

SAE crushed Grad House by ascore of twenty-two to nothing, there-by knocking the graduates out of thisyear's competition. They looked muchmore like the runners-up they werelast year than they did last week.Particularly improved was their pass-ing attack. Bill Dean '57 and thewhole defensive line also showed toadvantage.

The varsity soccer team lived up toits pre-season billing by taking itsfirst two games, besting Boston Uni-versity 3-2, and rolling over Brandeis,4-1.

Top B. U.The B. U. game was not nearly as

close as the score might indicate. MITwent in front early in the first periodand was never headed. Ray Morales'55 slammed in a goal midway throughthe period and Bernarde Blaschitz '55netted a pair in the same stanza.

The Boston Terriers counted boththeir tallies during the second quarterand after that the game was all Techalthough Coach Ben Martiin's chargeswere unable to add to the scoring. TheEngineer strength lay in their defensewith both goals coming on momentarylapses. As the season progresses thedefense should become more consis-tent.

kick off the 1954 MIT gridiron seasontoday as they face Boston Latin onBriggs Field. The game is scheduledfor 3:00 P.M.

Boston Latin is highly rated, having

held last year's Boston high schoolchamps to a scoreless tie earlier thisweek. In final drills held this week,Dave Scott '55, coach of the '57 grid-ders stressed pass patterns and out-side running plays. He cited thestrength of the Latin line especiallythrough the middle.

Air AttackIf the sophs are to get anywhere

against the powerful Boston highschool squad, it will have to bethrough the air. Sophs Willie Water-son and Ed Vaughn will provide thethrowing end of'the soph air attackwith ends Fred Kissner, Hal Smith,Bill Dean and Hoddy Schumacher and'halfbacks Bill Salmon, Scott Loringand Don Aucamp on the receiving end.

by Jack Friedman '57 It's about tinJh we gav e redit where credit is due. Director of Athletic s

Ivan J. Geiger has done an a lmost unbelievable job. Sports a re continually oIn

the upgrade he re at Tech with facilities being improved alnost constantly. In

view of the little attention paid to the sporlt p,'ograi by the Administration,

this no mean feat. As the Tom Lehrer line goes, "Ike" deserves the credit·

We h ad Professor Geiger on our first sports propram for WMIT (you

can hear it ever y Tuesday at 7:45 P.M.), and he gave us the scoop on the new

hockey rink. It will probably be open for stu dents every night, and almost

certainly Friday night, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Are you listen-l

ing Mr. Lippal? Sounds great for che.p dates (no charge for students and

guests).After the program we walked outside and met Hal Stubteg '55, Varsity

Vice-Pre sident of M.I.T.A.A. We s tarte d talkingh nd, in five minutes, we had

a regular bull session outside of Ware dormitory with people walking up and

joining the discussion. About an hour or so later, just afte r the session broke

up, one of our friends, known for his understatements, turned to us and said,

"You know, Ike's a real good man" Note don't think anyone will disagree.

S ports Notes·.. The sports year started off with a bang this past weekend. The soccer

var sity won impressively i n both its ganms, with a rout of Brandeis the

feature. The varsity harriers look strong, wPlanning handily over Tufts iespite

the absence o f number tw o man Dave Palakountain sa 6 an th e physical

collapse of Dave Solenberger '57. Those "in th e know" say that Soienberge'

is a fine runner and with a little experience should develop into a top-flite

runner. The sailors rallied after a disappointing weekend showing at Coast

Guard to take the Oberg Trophy on Columbu s Day . . . Despite contrary

opinion by the Intramural branch of the M.I.T.A.A., The Tech whill continue to

sponsor Intramura l All-Star teams an d w ill see to it that representative

schedules are arranged for t he teans. We expect a nd will welcome the coop-

erasion of the A.A. in the selection of the teams and the administration of the

schedule and coaching staff. Paul Goldin '54's idea seems to have really gone

over big . . . The weakness of the varsity soccer team seems to be at the all-

important position of goalie. The Frosh have no worry on th is score. We

doubt if there's a freshman anywhere who's in a class with Ricky Segovia '58.

We saw him against Medford, a nd , if you want to take our w ord for it, he is

sensational· Go out and watch the Sefsh some time. They're a colorful outfit.

Don't miss the left outside. He's a Liberian with a string of names a mile

long, but everybody calls hio Yancey. He can make a soccer ball do every-

thing but sing. . The cross countr men have a fine runner in Ray Smith 56.

Most runners like to pass men on a straightaway or going downhill. Smith

pulled ahead in the Tufts m eet while going u phi ll. His endurance is phenom-

enal ... Nick Newman d6 is coming th rough i n fine style for the sailors this

year. He's far and away the most improved skipper and seems to be crowdi'lg

Alain J. daBere '5 5 for the top spot... Apologies t o Gift Weber '55 and Larry

basketball prospects. Halle e has been work ing out almost every night in

Seotty Whitelaw forget Stan Shilensky ... The new rink is scheduled toi open

November 15, if we ha ve o ur figures right. We hope it's finished on time . . .

Did you know th at ove r seventy per cent of undergraduat e students participate

in either varsity or scheduled intramural athletics ? . . . The next addition to

the athletic facilities should be increased outdoor space. If a substitute is

found for Westgate the space can be made available. Let's hope it's soon. We

need it. Don 't forget to listen to the Campus Sports Panade Tues day. We'll

Boston Latin features a winged-Tattack which will be pitted against thesoph's straight T. Latin has a big,strong line but relatively light backs.Coach Scott cited the lack of smooth-ness of the Boston backfield as an en-couraging note.

Tentative Lineup

As a tentative starting lineup,Scott named: Hal Smith 'and FredKissner at the ends; Bill Dickersonand Denny MacLain, tackles; guards

Mike Brenner and Lee Bredbenner;center John Day; quarterback EdVaughn; halfbacks Scott Loring andDon Aucamp and fullback Ken Jones.

Backfield StrongThe backfield has looked well in

practice, but the line seems a littlelight and should have trouble withthe big Boston Latin forward wall.The guards, Bredbenner and Brennerseem to be the best part of the Bea-ver forward lineup. Bob Lawrenceplays behind them and is a strong de-fensive player. Kissner is the top passcatcher but "Tiger" Smith is the su-perior defensive man. Bill Dean is a

fine defensive end and should see ac-tion. Salmon, Waterson and Ryan areother good backs. Waterson shouldplay on offense, Ryan end-defense andSalmon both ways behind the starters.

The M.I.T. sailors met five otherBoston Colleges Columbus Day at theTufts Yacht Club and walked awayfrom the field with a startling displayof sailing prowess. In annexing theviCtory the Beavers took possessionof the Rudolph Oberg Trophy em-blematic of the Greater Boston Cham-pionship.

Le Bert SkipperSkippers for the Cardinal and Grey

in their triumph were Alain deBerc'55, John Wing '55, and Nicholas New-man '56, who were ably assisted bycrews of Jim Simmons '55, Bill Stiles'57, and Paul Luadi '55.

Wing OutstafidingWing put on a spectacular show

taking four firsts and two seconds.This near perfect record made himhigh point man in the regatta. deBercshowed well in taking four firsts butcouldn't match this in his other tworaces. Newman was first under thewire three times to round out therout. Surprise of the meet was Har-vard's poor showing. Long a poNver inNew England sailing the Crimsoncame in a disappointing fourth, wellout of it.

Tufts SecondThe team scores ran: MIT 106, Tufts

88, B. C. 74, Harvard 69, B. U. 65,and Northeastern 53.

The Beavers now move on to a seriesof duals scheduled for this w eekendwhich will determine qualifiers for theNew England Racing Championships.

The fSosh lost Thursday to Tufts'freshmen 22-36 but the word is thatthey will improve as the season rollsout. Hampered by lack of experiencethe '%8 runners have fine potentialand with any sort of luck shouldcompile a respectable record. An in-'teresting sidelight is the fact thatthe first Beaver across the lineThursday had never run competi-tively before.

Depth is the big reason for theaura of optimism surrounding thecross-country squad. Coach OscarHedlund has been particularly iim-pressed by the size and spirit of theturnout. The team has at least sevenmen who can go all the way on anygiven day.

An added boost should be givenby the return of Dave Palamountain,'56, last year's number three man.Palamountain was unable to run inthe opener but his appearance shouldbrighten an already cheerful scene.On looking ahead to the New Eng-lands we see a powerful Tech dis-play in which the Cardinal and Greymay not place in the top five butwill probably have five men in thefirst twenty. If events develop ashoped M.I.T. will, by the time No-vember eighth rolls around, be es-tablished as a strong threat to takethe New England Chlanmpionship.

Sparked by their amazing goalie,Ricky Segovia, the Engineer Froshsoccer tearn opened their season on asuccessful note, losing to powerfulMedford High by 1-) and routing the

Tufts class of '58, 5-1.

Segovia Sta rs

Except for a brief period in the firstquarter, almost the entire Medfordgame was played in Engineer terri-tory. The smoothly coordinated andexperienced (they wvere playing theirninth game) high school squad sentsortie after sortie deep into Cardinaland Gray teiritory only to be repulsedby Beaver Goalie Ricky Segovia. Se-gov-ia had very little help, some of itcoiming from halfback "Sandy" E1Baroudi. He played sensationally inthe Beaver nets stopping penalty kicksand smothering Medford shots. Vet-eran soccer fans wvere highly impress-ed with his play.

The Medford score came with buta fe-v minutes remaining when, whileTech was changing backs, two Med-ford men broke through and drilled

homne an unstoppable shot. The fewvchances the Engineers had to attack,they defeated themselves by poorpassing and almost a complete lack

of coordination. This, however, wastheir first game of the year and aftera scant few weeks of practice their

sloppy play was understandable.

Show Improvement

Wednesday afternon, Tufts came toBring-,s Field to face the fSosh. On thestrenmth of their previous showing,the Jumlbo faosh were a slight favol-ite. The Cardinal and Gray men, hoa,-ever, seemed to have profited enormi-

ously from their one ganie experien.e!and dominated the entire game.

hours required to lead the group suc-cessfully. This man is the band'spresent conductor, MIr. John Corley.

While working for a degree inpublic school music at Boston Uni-versity, Mr. Corley .won scholarshipsto attend sessions at Tanglewood,the summer home of the BostonSymphony. He has been acclaimedone of the finest of cornetists.

When World War II broke out,the army claimed his services, andupon his graduation from the armyband school he became the youngestband director in the history of theUnited States Army. After leadinga group in Iceland, he returned toBoston to enter the field for whichhe trained, and is now Director ofBands in the Brookline schools.

Leading an ensemble which wouldplay 'only original band music hasalways been a dream of Mr. Corley's.lie has put forth great effort to seethis dream realized, and is only be-,ginning to reap the fruit of success.

The brass choir which many heardplay at the recent convocation is asort of hobby with him. This groupis not the first of its kind at Tech,but it is the largest one to be formedhere. There are no auditions, so thateveryone who so wishes may join.The music played runs the gamutfrom the 17th Century to the pres-ent. It is anticipated that this en-semrble will be heard in perfor-mances later in the year.

The concert band itself consists of74 selected musicians forming a per-fectly balanced unit. The only re-.mailling openings are for stringbass. Mr. Corley has referred to thegroup as a "fabulous technical out-fit." He has declared that, for the

most part, the members are so amaz-ingly proficient that he would nothave to use his number one men forsolo work.

Under the leadership of its presi-dent, Randy Robinson, 55, the bandhas planned numerous concerts thisyear, the first of which will be heldon October 23 at Vassar College.Under his supervision the officers ofthe outfit havre been scouring themnusic publishing houses of the na-tion to uncover works written origi-nally for band.

By playing these compositions ex-clusively, the concert band is creat-ing a new type of audience and es-tablishing a new musical medium,scoring another "first for M.I.T.

because they're the best team around.ATO is probably second best, how-

ever, and anything can happen. Nocomment on score.

Sigma Phi Ep should take StudentHouse by one o' two tallys, Phi Gam-ma Delta is two T.D.'s better thanBaker "A", and Delta Psi is aboutsix points better than Lambda Chi

Doubtless, you've guessed that the Droodleat the right is: Careless two-gun cowboyenjoying better-tasting Lucky while wait-ing in ambush. Lots of other two-gun cow-boys-and many millions of no-gun folks-agree that Luckies taste better. Students,for example, prefer Luckies to all otherbrands, according to the latest, biggestcoast-to-coast college survey. Once again,the No. 1 reason is that Luckies tastebetter. They taste better because LuckyStrike is the cigarette of fine tobacco . . .and "It's Toasted" to taste better. "It'sToasted"-the famous Lucky Strike proc-ess-tones up Luckies' light, mild, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste evenbetter. So, enjoy the better-tastLng ciga-rette ... Lucky Strike.

They deserved thevictory.
