The Student Placement Bureau is now handling interviews between sen- iors and graduate students and about twelve to fourteen prospective em- ployers each day. The Bureau, headed by Mr. Joe Jefferson, schedules inter- views and counsels the students, giv- ing them comparative information from sources in industry. Each year the drive begins slowly in October and reaches a peak in February and March. Last year, 437 employers scheduled visits to the campus and conducted a total of 7119 student interviews. This was an aver- of 8 interviews for each of the 890 students using the Placement Bureau. Another 286 employers recruited by correspondence. To the senior, this is important because it gives him the chance to discover clearly what indus- try wants and what it offers.

If there are no hitches it should be ready a year from next Fall-but not be- fore." The dining room, which will really be two separate dining rooms with a common kitchen, will be only partly contained within the present struc- ture of Burton House. The actual eat- ing area will overhang the driveway behind the building and jut out onto the athletic field. grees averaged about $490 per month starting pay and doctors averaged $675 per month to start. The pay vari- ations between courses or fields of study was not as great as that be- tween individuals. It was noted that salary offers continued to rise throughout the year. Ask WBTS Clause For Protection, Not Control, Dean Says Protection, in view of its legal re- sponsibility, and not increased control over student activities, is the Admin- istration's aim in the case of WTBS and FM, according to Dean John T. Rule. WTBS is seeking approval of its plan to ask the FCC for a ten-watt educational FM license. But, says Rule, before giving approval, "the Institute would like an advisory board which would have power to re- quest and receive revision of any of the station's policies detrimental to the public relations of the Institute. This would be necessary since such stations are under FCC regulations and the Institute itself swould be re- quired to be responsible to the FCC." Dean Rule has asked WTBS to amend its constitution to provide for this advisory board, which would con- sist of "an MIT Public Relations man, an alumnus now in the broadcasting industry, and an administration rep- resentative." "But we are not dictating to them," says Rule. "We have asked the Man- aging Board to write their own amendment, then bring it tp us and we'll get together and consider it." One point which neither Dean Rule nor the Managing Board of WTBS could clarify is the exact nature of the FCC regulations governing the type of license which WTBS seeks. There is considerable.speculation but no certainty regarding the amount of control the FCC would require the Administration to exert over the sta- tion's policies. No one is sure who would have to be listed as owner. In most other colleges with FM stations, the owner is the Corporations or the Trustees of the college or the station itself as a corporation. One member of the Managing Board has said that the station is seriously thinking of incorporation. Dean Rule has indicated that the amendment is being sought solely to comply with FCC regulations and, in the light of these, the Administra- tion may accept a more lenient ver- sion than the one he has suggested. Arnold E. Amstutz '58 and Ritchic B. Coryell '58 were elected as Under- graduate Association President and Vice-President last week. Amstutz won by a margin of 180 votes with a total of 787 votes against Helmut Weymar's 607. Coryell swept the UAVP election with a margin of 274 votes. On the first ballot Coryell polled 688, Larry Spiro 437, and Toni Deutsch 290. On the second ballot, after eliminating Deutch, the count was Coryell 829, Spiro 555. As usual, the turnout was small. Only 38% of the undergraduate body voted with the total number of votes cast at 1394. The following joint statement was issued by Amstutz and Coryell last Thursday: "We are naturally very pleased with the results of the election and the support which was given to our idea of President and Vice-President work- ing together behind a specific plat- form. We certainly want to thank all those who helped us in the campaign. The work involved in running for these offices is very time consuming and without those who gave their time and assistance we couldn't have done it. "After the organizational meeting on March 6, we wvill begin working to realize the goals of the platform and hope that through a revised pro- cedure of legislation, everyone will be able to know what I4scomm is doing and have their opinions expressed. We are looking forwvard to many concrete accomplishments before summer vaca- tion." Both Amstutz and Coryell stated that they wvere never at any time sure of victory. Both agreed that it was an interesting and active campaign. The two victors feel that by running on a joint ticket they have set a precedent. Coryell stated that he felt that he had an advantage due to the fact that his opposition was composed of a sophomore and a co-ed. Both men have laid out a consider- able amount of work for the next Arnmstutz, Coryell Start Program After Victory year. The first big problem to be tackled %will be hazing. Amstutz says that he plans to have a definite policy this spring. He states that a strict Judicial Committee will be needed to enforce such policy. The problems of compulsory ROTC, parking, parietal rules, etc., are all slated for future action. MIT Drops Backing Of Enrollments Conf. The National Conference on Rising Enrollments, originally co-sponsored by the National Student Association and MIT and scheduled at Kresge Auditorium for the week-end of March 29-31, has been changed to a regional gathering under the sponsor- ship of NSA alone, but will still be held on the March date. The conference has been called to debate the problem posed by an an- ticipated upsurge in numbers of stu- dents applying for college during the coming years. Solutions to the ques- tion which w;ill be discussed range from general expansion of college educational and physical facilities to an attempt at making present build- ings and staffs serve an increasingly carefully selected group of students. In explaining the change in spon- sorship, Bob Batchelder '57, co-chair- man with Ben Chertok '57 of the MIT group coordinating the conference. said that since the NSA had failed to produce speakers and money for the conference by the first of Febru- ary implementation of further plans by MIT could not be accomplished. "As time was running short and the NSA had not carried out their end of it," said Batchelder, "we decided to drop our part in the conference."

Protection, in view of its legal re-sponsibility, and not increased controlover student activities, is the Admin-istration's aim in the case of WTBSand FM, according to Dean John T.Rule.

WTBS is seeking approval of itsplan to ask the FCC for a ten-watteducational FM license.

When, for example, I roomed with Rimsky Sigafoos,my hobby was stamp collecting. I did not take up muchroom. All I needed was a small corner for my stamps,my album, my magnifying glass, and my tongue. Rimsky,on the other hand, was by hobby a cat burglar. Hardlya night went by when he didn't burgle twenty or thirtycats. You can imagine how crowded our little room usedto get! Many's the time I got so exasperated that it tooktwo or three rich, natural Philip Morrises to restore mynative sweetness. @ Max Shulman, 1957

We, the makers of Philip Morris and sponsors of this colurn,.know that you and your roommate are getting along just fine.But it you ever do have a little tiff, don't try a peace pipe.Try a good, natural smoke--Philip Morris!

Music In The ChapelIn the chapel on Sunday, February 24, at 4:00 p.m.

William MacGowan was heard in a concert of early organmusic. Assisting Mr. MacGowan were Grace Kazarian,soprano, Luella Ballentine, mezzo soprano, and John Burns,recorder. Organist and choirmaster at the Village Congre-gational Church at Whitinsville, Massachusetts. Mr. Mac-Gowan played a program including the works of Schmid-kellner, Baston, Bach, and Drischner.

Several of the works deserve special mention. In theConcerto II for organ and recorder descant both Mr. Mac-Gowan and Mr. Burns displayed artistry in their interpre-tation. The recorder is a difficult instrument to play withregard to intonation and the organist must be careful notto overpower or to play too full when accompanying therecorder.

In the Duet from the Cantata 196 of Bach, the soloistsperformed admirably and your reviewer feels that this wasone o fthe high points of the concert.

Mr. Mac6owan also chose five of the Max Drischnerchoral preludes for his program and they were extremelywell received. In the "Zions Stille" a quartet sang with theorgan.

One more composition should be mentioned-the Bachchoral prelude "O Guiitless Lamb of God". An extremelyemotional piece, gradually building up to a thrilling climaxthrough the use of chromatic harmonies, Mr. MacGowanused. the facilities of the "Little Gem" Holykamp admir-ably. Considering that the organ has no reeds (for betteror worse) and has only twelve stops, it becomes a difficultmatter to start from a pianissimo and gradually build acrescendo.

Although a capacity crowd was not present, those therewere genuinely interested in the music as one could tell inthe after concert chatter.

Tight Little Island

Tight Little Island, now playing at the Brattle Theatre,is the humorous, if not novel, story of simple folk who,for sundry reasons, have been deprived of their "water oflife"-whiskey. In general the acting is excellent; thehumorous situations prove humorous, though at times abit too fantastic; and the plot is an oft-tried veteran.

The accent-clad story, draped over a little fishing islandoff the coast of Scotland, takes place during the war, whenthe English Captain Waggett has been sent to the island toorganize the Home Guard, and, tragedy of tragedies, thealcoholic lifeblood of the island has been stopped at thestill. Sergeant Odd returns from the fighting in NorthAfrica and in no time flat has the local belle on the affirma-tive end of a marriage proposal. While the ineffectual cap-rain is drilling the lethargic Home Guard and the villagersare bemoaning their dehydration, a ship carrying 50,000cases of the beloved booze handily runs aground on rocksjust off the island. The crew is hastily shipped back to the

mainland, and the islanders are about to do some salvagingwhen the captain decides that the Home Guard shouldallow no looting, and he assigns the only member of it

that he thinks he can trust, Sergeant Odd, to guard theship. However, the sergeant is persuaded to recognize theneed of refreshments at his engagement party; the HomeGuard becomes suddenly efficient and rescues a few hun-dred cases; and the captain is soundly thwarted. Angered,

and ready to arrest the rum-rustlers, he imports to theisland some dark-dad compatriots who soon take on the

aspect of revenue men combing the hills for bootleggers.Naturally, the chase ensues, with the islanders striving topreserve their heritage.

Basil Radford plays very well the part of the pompous,stubborn, but duty-conscious Captain Waggett, whose ef-forts to carry out any of his plans invariable run amuck.Doing a very convincing job of portraying Sergeant Fred

Odd was Bruce Seton, and in the role of his fiancee, PeggyMcCroon, was Joan Greenwood, X5 a laughing little Scot-tish lassie. I '"

TWO CAN LIVE

AS CHEESILY AS ONE

Now in the final months of the school year, one thingis certain: you and your roommate are not speaking.

But it is not too late to patch things up. Examine therift calmly. Search your soul with patience. Perhapsthe fault is yours. Perhaps you are guilty of violatingsome of the basic rules of roommate etiquette.

For instance, in decorating your room, have youforced your preferences on your roommate without re-gard to his or her tastes? This is a common cause offriction. Indeed, it once happened to me. back in my fresh-man year when I was sharing a room with a boy namedRimsky Sigafoos who covered every inch of our wallwith 850 pictures of James Dean.

"Rimsky," I said to him in gentle reproof, "pleasedon't think me unduly, but I had hoped to put a pictureof my fiancee Mary Beth Thermidor on the wall."

Rimsky examined the picture of my fiancee Mary BethThermidor. "You're kidding, of course," he said anddropped the picture in the wastebasket.

Well, that got my dander up, and I was mad as a wethen till Rimsky gave me a Philip Morris Cigarette.

As we all know, there is nothing like a mild, natural,Philip Morris. Treats a man right. No filter, no foolin'!Anger melts and frowns become smiles with PhilipMorris, all seems right in the world, and no man's handis turned against you, nor yours against any man.

So, puffing a pacifying Philip Morris, I forgot allabout Rimsky's slight to Mary Beth Thermidor. In fact,with her picture out of sight, I soon forgot all aboutMary Beth Thermidor, too, and one night at the Fresh-man Frolic, spying a round young coed over in a corner,I came up to her and said with a fetching leer, "Excuseme, miss. We don't know each other, but I would liketo rectify that sad omission." And she said, "Oh, youhorrid, horrid youth! I am your fiancee Mary BethThermidor." With that she stomped furiously away, andthough I tried to win her back with Philip Morrises, shewas beyond recall. I, utterly shattered, signed on as acabin boy with the Cunard Line and am today, aged 53,the oldest cabin boy on the North Atlantic run.

But I.digress. We were talking about roommate eti-quette. Let us turn now to the matter of share and sharealike. Have you shared everything equally? Drawerspace? Closet space? Study space? And here's one thatoften causes trouble--hobby space.

A question of vital concern to allmembers of the student body is: Whatare the aims and purposes of intra-mural sports at MIT? It is one whoseanswer affects our attitude towardTech athletics in particular and ourscholastic attitude in general.

Sports have been rightly called thefinest means of social and moral train-ing-and this without even consider-ing the physical advantages given tothe loyal enthusiast. The sense of fairplay and sportsmanship coupled withthe invaluable experience of meetingkeen competition in a mutual field ofcontest, battling, and defeating it, isa personal achievement that partici-pation in sports most effectively de-velops, and one which no one can af-ford to deny himself.

The MIT Intramural Program isdedicated to the maximum dissemina-tion of these benefits to the membersof the Institute Community. A year-round program is carried in all themajor athletics, and including suchlesser publicized activities as squash,badminton, and ping pong. In fact,almost any conceivable physical activ-ity can be started under the auspi-ces of the Intramural Manager aslong as enough people express aninterest in participating. The coming

Steep intothee Expanding Field

of Instru entation

Automatic control, or automation, or data reduction areall Instrumentation, and offer some of the broadest and mostsatisfying careers available to today's engineers and scientists.

Atomic energy, iron and steel, aircraft and automobiles,chemicals and chinaware, petroleum and electric power areonly a few of the many industries which need instruments.This need creates permanent opportunities in many of our op-erations, including research and development, product engi-neering, industrial engineering, production, inspection, mar-ket development and customer contacts.

The products with which you would be concerned includeautomatic, high-precision instruments for controlling, record-ing and indicating temperature, chemical concentration, radi-ation phenomena, frequency and load and many other con-ditions. For heat-treaters we make furnaces and processequipment. For the worker in science-whether student orresearcher-we make both automatic and manual laboratory-type instruments, with which you may already be familiar.

The Company has about 3000 people-is one of the biggestin its field, yet is compact enough for you to be able to "followthe score." Its reputation for progressiveness in industrialrelations, and for quality of product is world wide.

Wayne L. Besselman, our Coordinator of Technical Em-ployment, will be on the campus on March 5, 1957 with infor-mation which he will cordially share, about our very modernopportunities and rewards for engineers and scientists. Yourplacement bureau will arrange an appointment with Mr.Besselman, at your request.

System Control for Utilities

Spring season promises competitionin sailing, softball, volleyball, track,tennis and golf for the MIT student.

The three logical requirements forteam entrance into any one of thesesports is: (1) organization of theteam members and submission of ateam roster, (2) the procurement ofsomeone to obtain whatever equip-ment may be necessary and (3) thenatural consequence, the healthy par-ticipation of the squad in the activity.The members of the intramural teamsnot only find themselves enjoying thediversion from the "grind" and thephysical satisfaction of exercisingtheir body, but they also develop newand lasting friends of complimentaryinterests.

However, may one caution be im-planted upon the minds of the com-batants on the intramural playingfields. Victory is always the aim tobe sure, but more important is thatthe keenness of the contest developsin the contestants the healthy, normaldesire to do one's best, rather thanany frenzied feeling that the onlyalternatives in the battle are victoryor utter defeat. Whatever the finalscore, if the game is played fairlyand if each side has given their bestefforts to the cause of success, thenboth sides have won. The laurels ofpersonal victory shall be the rewardof each team member, regardless ofthe final outcome of such a contest.

True Spaniards have an interestingway of looking at their favorite spec-tacle, the corrida de toros or the bull-fight. While most tourists conceive itas a struggle of man against bull, thenatives say that it is really a strug.gle of man against himself, which, ifwe stop to consider it, is probably themost significant struggle of all. Thisinterpretation can justifiably be car-ried over to all athletics in general.The team participant is actually con-ditioning himself to meet the chal-lenge that the sport provides so thathis ability to direct his physical ac-tivity will aid the purpose of theteam. Therefore the glory of thesquad is only the vivid reflection ofthe personal accomplishments of itsmembers. And intramurals, especiallysuch a fine program as MIT offers, isan excellent way for the Techman toreap the individual benefits that team-play and sportsmanship afford.

Charity Drive Fund |Recipients Express

Their Appreciation"The distribution of the receipts of

the 1956-57 TCA Charities Drive hasbrought a flood of 'Thank you' let-ters," reports Fitz Rawls '57, Presi-dent of TCA.

The sum collected in cash andpledges amounted to $1730.26; andafter deductions had been made forexpenses and unpaid pledges, $1350were distributed among five organiza-tions.

Of the sum collected, the maximumamount contributed by a single livinggroup was $353.40, by Burton House.Lambda Chi Alpha gave the rnost permember-$3.55, and Phi Beta Epsilonwas second with $1.92 contributed permember. .,

United Community Service (RedFeather) received $400, this being30% of the total. World UniversityService and the Jimmy Fund each re-ceived 20%, this amounting to $275.The remaining was divided betweenthe American Cancer Society andInited Cerebral Palsy, each receiving15% of the total-$200.

Acknowledging receipt of the money,Red Feather said, "We wish therewere some way in which . . . thosewho conducted the campaign andthose who contributed . .. could bethanked personally - but the realthanks will come from the familiesand individuals who will be helpedthrough your gifts."

Commenting on the "thank yous",Fitz Rawls said, "A good deal ofcredit for the success of the drivegoes to the solicitors in each of theliving groups ... MIT students shouldlook forwvard to next year's drive andtry to surpass this year's result."

Bob Hecht has emerged as Presidentof Dormitory Council, defeating hisonly rival, Kari Balbach in last Tues-day's elections.

The newly-elected officer has an-nounced vigorous plans for the future.He favors "fewer rules and more ac-tivities," the latter to include rivalrybetween the three dormitories. Theindividual houses, he says, should"solve their own problems - morepower should be given to the housecommittees."

Hecht confesses that he knows littleabout the past history and activitiesof Dormitory Committee, but he op-poses the action taken a short timeago to permit opening of rooms bystudent government; "Room-searchingby student government is unneces-sary," he declares.

Nomination for the Dormcommpresidency was by petition, which re-quired. 15% of the dormitory popula-tion to sign.

House committees have been rela-tively idle lately; controversial issuessuch as hazing and commons mealshave already been thoroughly consid-ered. The Baker house committee,however, made a survey of Bakerhouse opinion on commons and a com-mittee appointed for the purpose

found that there was general satis-faction with the quality of the mealswith most people favoring the "fam-ily style serving."

The Baker House Committee alsosuspended a provision of their by-lawsthat had prevented freshmen fromrunning for Inscomm representative;there are now five candidates in thefield, one of them a freshman.

All three of the House Committees,Baker, Burton and East Campus, in-tend to hold elections this week.

Hillel ToReorganize;

Plans New Activities"Under its newly elected executive

board, MIT chapter of B'nai B'rithHillel Foundation is now undergoingan extensive reorganization and build-up period," according to Ivan M.Schmidt, Secretary, MIT Hillel.

The first activity of the new termwas started by a traditional bagel-and-lox brunch, held on the 10th ofthe month, in conjunction with thesister chapter at Simmons. Dean Rulewas the guest. The following Wednes-day, new officers were elected: BillRothstein '59, was elected president,Howard Gendel '60, vice-president,and the secretary and treasurer areIvan Schmidt '59 and Dick Rosenthal'58, respectively.

On Sunday, at 3 p.m., "A Cycle ofJewish Music" was presented onKresge Auditorium, by Manuel Zym-elman, G. The songs were in Hebrewand Yiddish

SoonMore than five hours of Activities

Council discussion Friday night pro-duced a revised version of the Coun-cil's proposed new by-laws which willbe presented for Institute Committeeapproval at its next meeting.

A key point in the discussion con-cerned Activities' representation onInstitute Committee. The proposedBy-laws, provide for three Councilseats rather than the one which theCouncil now has. The group favoringthis plan felt that the leaders ofClass A Activities, the group fromwhich the three would be chosen, aremen who have already proven theirleadership and policy-making ability.Furthermore, it was argued, wherethe student is represented throughhis living group and through hisclass, his extra-curricular activitieswould be a third and excellent methodof representation.

The opposition emphasized thatleaders in activities are many timesholders of office in either the class orliving group level; therefore each rep-resentative of Activities Council, ifthere were too many, would be fillingmore than one seat. The Council'sviewpoint, they argued, could as wellbe presented by one man as by three.Another plank of the By-laws specifi-cally states that each Class A Activ-ity must be represented on the Coun-cil by its "highest ranking officer."Several Council members have com-plained that the practice of sendinglower-ranking Activity members hashampered the effectiveness of theCouncil.

MIT Fencers WinAgainst BU And HCAs Epees, Foils Star

The MIT fencing team won bothof its matches by sizeable marginslast week. Tech first downed BostonUniversity 20 to 7, Tuesday, and thentook Holy Cross 17 to 10 on Friday.In the first of these matches, theB.U. team never was in contentionas the MIT team swept the first roundof fencing 7-2. The epee team's per-formance was particularly remark-able. After suffering heavy defeatsin the last three meets, the epee teamscored an 8 to 1 victory over B.U. totake the team honors of the day.Fencers in this weapon were RoyNorris, Bob Barbolini, Ron Wempen,and Joe Pedlosky.

The foil team, tallying a 6-3 count,was composed of Jim Wieting, BarryShabel, Mike Fein, and Ted Quist.The sabre team also won 6 of their9 using the combination of Hal Mil-ler, Ben Edwards, Larry Campbell,and Mike Meeker.

Saturday, Holy Cross put up a moredetermined battle than B.U. but neverreally gave Tech too much to worryabout. The individual weapon scoreswere foil 7-2, sabre 6-3, and epee 4-5.This year is Holy Cross's first in in-tercollegiate fencing, and with sucha good start, they could very wellbecome a strong team in this area.

With these two additional wins theTech fencing team now has six winsto two losses. Their next meet is theNew England Invitational Tourna-ment which will be held in WalkerMemorial on March 2. This meet willinclude teams from Trinity College,B.UJ., Bradford-Durfee, University ofConnecticut, Holy Cross, and Bran-deis. This match should provide fenc-ing fans at MIT the chance to watchsome good competition.

Tech SwimmersFind Brown Fast

The MIT swimming team, hamperedby a murky pool, turned in one oftheir poorest performances lastWednesday as they took the shortend of a 61-24 score against Brownin a meet that had figured to be veryclose.

Lynn Jacobson '59 turned in hisbest time of the season, however, intaking third place in the 200 yardbreaststroke. Bob Jantzen '57 also didhis best time of the season, 55.5, forhis leg of the winning freestyle relay.Bill Veeck '58, Roger Kane '59, andHarry Duane '59, were the othermembers of the relay, which won inthe slow time of 3:49.5.

Murray Kohlman '58 picked upeight points with a win in the 440and a second in the 220. This was hisfirst defeat in the 220 since he wasbeaten by one of the top men in theEast at Harvard before Christmasvacation. Bill Veeck '58 took a secondin the 100 yard freestyle followed byDuane 8.59 in third place. Neil Divine'59 suffered his first loss since thefirst meet of the season, as Claysonof Brown set a new Brown PoolRecord of 2:16.3.

Coach Gordon Smith said that theresults could be partly attributed tothe slow Brown Pool, but added thatthe team just plain had a bad day.He expects that they will bounce backagainst Springfield this Wednesday.This was Tech's fourth loss againstfive wins and one tie.

Tech's Freshman Swimming teamturned in a creditable performance inlosing to a strong Brown Freshmanteam, 44-32 last Thursday night atAlumni Pool. Outstanding for theFrosh was Tony Sirnson as he tookMIT's only first place in the Divewith a good score of 55.28. He hasbeen consistently winning for theFreshmen.

There are three promising free-stylers on the Freshman team. JohnWindle, who has been turning in verygood times, took second place in boththe 50 and 100 yard freestyle races.Bob Kimper took second in the 200yard freestyle.

Hoopsters Win Two;Northeastern Edged,Stevens Slaughtered

Playing three games last week, theBeaver five edged Northeastern, 69-68, at home last Wednesday; lost inovertime to Pratt, 84-79, Friday eve-ning in Brooklyn, and clobberedStevems 56-40, in Hoboken Saturdaynight.

Battling uphill all the way, theMIT hoopsters eked out a one pointvictory over Northeastern. MurrayMuraskin '57 and Bob Polutchko '59starred for the Beavers as they tallied21 and 16 points respectively. Polut-chko took the game's reboundinghonors as he grabbed 16 off theboards.

The visitors appeared to be headedfor a runaway at the outset of thecontest as they scored 8 straightpoints. They maintained control of thegame for the first 15 minutes untilthe Engineers were behind 31-15. TheBeavers picked up some ground inthe waning minutes of the first halfand trailed 39-28 at the intermission.

The complexion of the game chang-ed completely in the second half.With Polutchko and Muraskin pacingthe attack the Techmen finally over-took the visitors midway through thefinal session. Northeastern wasn'tthrough at that point though, as theyrecovered to battle for the lead. Witha minute and a half to go the Engi-neers were down 68-64. Then Muras-kin sank a long one-hander andMarty Goldstein '57 tied the scorewith a driving layup. With 16 se-conds to go Paul Larsen '58 droppedin a free throw to decide the game.

One of the controversial refereeingjobs in years drew boos from thespectators and comments from bothbeaches. In all 52 personal fouls werecalled with four of the losers andtwo Engineers fouling out.

The Beavers were off on theirshooting from the floor as they hitonly 19 of 77 for a 24% average.They sorely missed Lee Cooper '59who is out for the season with asprained ankle.

In one of the season's closest en-counters the MIT five dropped an 84-79 overtime decision to Pratt Insti-tute. The home squad led during mostof the first half by a few points butthe Beavers hung in there tenacious-ly. At the intermission, Pratt heldonto a 37-32 lead.

In the second half the local teamheld their small margin until the clos-ing minutes. With only seconds re-mainimg Marty Goldstein sank a pairof free throws to knot the score at71-all. In the overtime, the Prattmencapitalized on a few breaks to cop thevictory. Polutchko had 21 and Muras-kin 20 to pace the Techmen.

Leading from the opening moments,the Beaver cagers trounced StevensInstitute by a score of 56-4)0. Duringthe initial half the Beavers built upa 31-20 margin as they had no trou-ble throttling their outclassed oppon-ents.

Bob Polutchko '59 and Mac Jordan'58 with 16 points apiece, led the scor-ing for the victors. Murray Muraskinalso hit double figures for the B3ea-vers as he amassed 10 points.

Squashmen Lose ToHarvard Squaremen

MIT played traditional rival Har-vard in squash last Wednesday andcame out on the short end of a shut-out, 9-0. In one of the most excitingcollegiate matches of the year, MIT'sTom Thomas '57 battled five gameswith intercollegiate champ Ben Heck-scher before bowing. Thomas playedbrilliantly to take two of the firstthree games, but then he lost just abit of his touch and Heckscher tookcontrol. The rest of the Harvardteam, one of the country's best, wasjust too strong for Tech.

Saturday, the Tech team playedhost to the Amherst varsity andfreshmen. Again, Thomas was involv-ed in the top match. He split the firstfour games, but was the unfortunatevictim of a hot streak by his oppon-ent in the fifth. Henry Lyden '57,Tech's number three man, won hismatch, but the remainder of the team*-e-nt down, Amherst winning by ascore of 8-1.

Attention is now centered on theoutcome of League VI where PhiGamma Delta and Sigma Alpha Ep-silon are tied for first waith 3-1 andAlpha Epsilon Pi trails with 2-1. AnAEPi win would create a three waytie, as both the first two clubs havecompleted play.
