JUDICIAL COMMITTEE HEARINGS:le nine-member combined Institute Committee-Dormitory Council Judcomm spent most of[e week-end hearing testimony about the March 2-3 riot from scores of witnesses. Chairmanlilliam Salmon '57 wields the gavel.

NWeek-E nd HearingsLast Saturday and Sunday, the thirty MIT students who were arrested at

le fateful Baker riots were among those summoned to appear for open hear-igs before a combined Institute Judicial Committee.

The committee stressed the fact that the hearings did not constitute aiurt of lasw, and, therefore that the ordinary rules of evidence would not

ecessarily apply; instead, the purpose was only to better acquaint Judcomm'ith the facts, so that they could render just decisions in the disposition ofie cases. Each student was given a chance to present his story, which, if thereas no reason to question it, was accepted by the committee. The group previ-isly had investigated each story, and most questions pertained to discrepan-es in the testimony. The defendants!sses as they wished. The studentsere required to answer all ques-)ns presented by the committee, un-ss special permission was given bye chairman not to answer the quer-J.

In an official statement William!imon '57, Judcomm chairman, saidat no defendant would be asked tostify against another; however, sev-al students who were subpoenaedter the investigations had begun,It that their names had been men-sned during the course of the hear-gs. Salmon denied this. They wereled, he said, as a result of otherdcornm investigations.All in all, forty students appearedfore the committee as defendants.i1 of those who were arrested, in-iding the four who had been clear-

by the Dean's office, were calledcause their arrest implied partici-tion. of some kind in the riot; thisis not used as proof of guilt, how-er, said Salmon. The open sessionseluded all of the facts which wereing used as evidence in the cases;

,additional information was added-the closed sessions where the final

cisions were reached.The findings will be forwarded toe Faculty Committee on Studentscipline for action. The announce-ant of the final disposition of theses may be deferred until the pol-f of the counsel for the studentsvW in civil jeopardy has been de-rliined. At the lawyer's request, no

3aimony was presented at the firstil hearing last week, but was post-ned until today for regular courttion. The quick action of Judicial¢nrnittee was for the purpose ofssibly presenting some evidence at

e trial.

Living Expense AidOffered HungariansBy Four Fraternities

Broadening the international scopeof the MIT community, the Institutehas offered to give Hungarian ref-ugee students up to ten terms of tu-ition-free schooling. John Holmfeld'57, chairman of the MIT Committeef o r Refugee Hungarian Studentswhich has charge of this grant, saidthat the funds would be split amongfive students for two terms each.

This tuition was given with thestipulation that MIT living groupswould provide free room and boardfor these students. After an appealmade by Holmfeld at a DecemberIFC meeting, four fraternities haveagreed to help. Alpha Tau Omega,Lambda Chi Alpha, and Phi GammaDelta have unofficially told Holmfeldthat they are interested in having aHungarian refugee in their house.Phi Kappa Sigma is making a dona-tion of $100. Although the Directorof Student Aid has turned down theidea of appropriating scholarshipmoney for the room and board ofthese students, the dormitories arestill undecided about putting up the$800 needed.

Most of the refugee students fromHungary are presently studying En-glish at Bard College in New York.Those who are interested in scienceand engineering have been invited toapply to MIT for admission. Fromthose that apply the admissions officewill select five by the same stan-dards that are now employed for theselection of any student. The onlyrestriction is that the Hungarian ref-ugee must be able to get a degreeafter only two years of study. Thatmeans that the student must havealready had two years of schoolingin Hungary.

The MIT Committee for HungarianRefugee Students, which is composedof ten students, arose from studentinterest in the Hungarian revolution.It has been meeting once a week anddiscussing the problems concernedwith raising the money for the roomand board of these students.

Bring Stoufer's To Baker In April;House Chairman Sees Boyeott End

Baker House dineresidents will gain the reform for which they twice boycotted, when Stouffer's extends its campusfood-management operation to the Baker House dining room immediately after the spring vacation (March 24-31).Mr. R. Colin MacLaurin, Director of General Services, disclosed the change-over plans to The Tech early Sunday.Baker House Chairman, H. Paul Zeiger '58, informed of the disclosure, called it "a great thing." He said, "I doubtvery much whether there will be any more boycotts now. We plan to give Stouffer's the utmost co-operation."Included in the change-over will be the installation of a Stouffer dietitian and the assumption of control of foodpurchases by the firm. Mr. Robert Wheeler, presently the top-ranking Stouffer representative in Morss Hall, will alsodirect the Baker House dining operation.Acquisition of the dietitian was the chief factor which delayed Stouffer's entry into Baker House, according to Mr.MacLaurin. At the beginning of this term, it was felt that a qualified dietitian could not be found before the end of the

term. But the Stouffer representa-tives whom he consulted after thesecond boycott told Mr. MacLaurinthat a dietitian will be available intwo weeks. This date coincides withthe beginning of the vacation. Whenthe students resume classes, said Mr.MacLaurin, Stouffer's will alreadybe there.

Mr. MacLaurin stated that hehopes there will be no more boycotts.Referring to the limited Morss Hallfacilities, he said, "We can't feedthem (the Baker diners) on this ba-sis."

One Baker House resident, who hadbeen active in organizing the firstboycott, related the boycott to thechange-over disclosure in this way:"The purpose of the boycott was toobtain better food. We ate Stouffer'sfood in Morss Hall and enjoyed it.This announcement is just the thingwe boycotted for."

"We Can't Feed Them"Mr. MacLaurin did not consider

the boycotts a factor in producingthe change-over speed-up. "it's whatwe were going to do anyway," hesaid.

Boycotts Reserved For ProtestBaker House residents agreed that

there is now no cause for further boy-cotts. However, many cited the sav-ing of the food, which would havebeen served on the day of the firstboycott, for use five days later (theannounced cause of the second boy-cott) as an example of the kind ofthing which might cause protest ac-tion.

A dministration Heads Call nscomTo Closed Sabbath Day Session

"Most Ins'citute financial plans aremade on a long range basis," statedPresident James R. Killian at a spe-cial closed Institute Committee meet-ing. The early Sunday morning meet-ing was called by top administrationmembers in order that they mightclarify their procedures for the stu-dent body through Inscomm.

Present at the meeting, besidesPresident Killian, were: Julias A.Stratton, Chancellor; Joseph J. Sny-der, Treasurer; Phillip A. Stoddard,Assistant Treasurer; Malcolm G. Kis-pert, Assistant Chancellor; John T.Rule, Dean of Students; and Freder-ick G. Fassett, Dean of Residence.

The administration first explainedthe Corporation setup, pointing outthat budget policy is initially madeby Executive Committee of the Cor-poration. Going through budget factsand figures they make frequent use ofcharts and graphs to clarify their ex-planations.

Since the announced dorm rentraise, many false figures concerningfinancing are believed to have beencirculated one of which is the factthat the school has enough unrestrict-ed (interest free) money to put moreinto the dormitory system. It was ex-plained that the Institute has only$700,000 of such money; and in the

NEIWA AwTlards AMatnmanOB est

The New. England Intercollegiate Wrestling Association conducted its11th annual tournament at Williamstown, Mass. between ten colleges-Amherst,Boston University, Coast Guard Academy, Dartmouth, MIT, Springfield, Tufts,U. of Massachusetts, Wesleyan, and Williams. Awards were given to the lead-ing-school, winner in each weight class, and a special award for the "outstand-ing wrestler." The special award was given to Harris Hyman who is a Seniorat Tech. The cup is awarded after a vote by the coaches of the various schoolson the basis of performance during the season in intercollegiate matches andat the NEIWA finals.

Springfield College took the tournament for the seventh consecutiveyear. Springfield, which is a college for physical education, romped wayahead of the rest in the two-daybouts. Although the Springfield coachremarked that due to the fact thatall his boys go out for so many sportssuch as football, track, tennis, etc.,it is hard to get them in shape, itappeared that nothing could be fur-ther froml the truth. Williams Collegetook second; MIT took fifth.

Points for the team were gained asHarris Hyman took first place in the .: i147-lb. class and Tony Vertin tookfourth in the 177-1l. class.

Outstanding wrestlers on the fresh-man team were Joe Patalive 147-l1b.taking second and Steve Gill 130-Ib.taking fourth in their respectiveweight classes.

realm of Institute financing this wasdescribed as "Not that much."

The guests also made it clear thatno campus employment scholarshipswould be cut next year; and alsopointed out that scholarship :moneyhas risen considerably in recent years.In 1957, over $630,000 worth ofscholarships were given, as compar-ed with $55,742 given ten years ago.

The discussion then shifted to theplace of student government with re-lation to the administration. During'this time, Dean Rule, referring to thecurrent riot investigations, stated, "Ihave reiterated to the Judcomm that,as has always been the case, theirdecision would be their own. I haveno idea what they are going to rec-ommend. In the history of Judcomm,I have been told that only once inthe last ten years has the FacultyCommittee on Discipline changed aJudcomm decision."

TEN, The Tech ToFigure InOfficee1oveTo Gain More Space

Sweeping changes will soon bemade in the student activity office al-lotments in Walker Memorial. Chair-man of the Secretariat's FacilitiesCommittee, Patrick J. McGovern '59,announced that TEN has been per-mitted to move into the present of-fices of the Rocket Research Societyand the Public Relations Committeeon the third floor of Walker.

The Rocket Research Society willoccupy the Foreign Student SummerProject room in the basement ofWalker in expectation of receivingspace in Building 20 upon the com-pletion of the new Compton Lab sometime this Spring. The Public Rela-tions Committee will put its files inLitchfield Lounge and receive deskspace there. During the inactivity ofthe FSSP they will store their filesin the old The Tech darkroom.

Meanwhile the vacated offices ofTEN will be claimed by The Tech,who will use the space for a newdarkroom and a separate business of-fice. These additions are in line withThe Tech's attempts to establish adaily publication for the MIT com-munity. A committee composed of theformer managing board of the paperand members of the faculty is study-ing the problems involved in thistransition.

The availability of limited spacein Building 20 for student activityuse will offer some relief from thepresent tight situation in the appoint-ment of student activity rooms inWalker Memorial. However, plansfor a new Student Union are beingenthusiastically discussed among themembers of student government andsome action is expected soon. Theneed for an activities building of thistype is severely felt.

NOW YOU CAN BE YOUNGER

THAN SHE IS!

it's a scientific fact that girls reach emotional ma-turity earlier than boys. For this reason freshman girlsdecline to make romantic alliances with freshman boys.

Thus, the freshman boys are left dateless, and many'sthe night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep.An equally damp situation exists among upper-classgirls. With upperclassmen being snapped up by freshmangirls, the poor upper-class girls are reduced to dreary,manless evenings of Scrabble and home permanents.

There is a solution for this morbid situation - a verysimple solution. Why don't the two great have-not groupsfind solace with one another?

True, there is something of an age differential, butthat need not matter. Take the case of Albert PaysonSigafoos and Eustacia Vye.

Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel atVanderbilt University, was walking across campus oneday, weeping softly in his loneliness. Blinded by tears,he stumbled upon the supine form of Eustacia Vye, asenior in wicker and raffia, who was collapsed in awretched heap on the turf.

.j

"Why don't you' watch where you're going, yousquirt?" said Eustacia peevishly.

"I'm sorry, lady," said Albert Payson and started tomove on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspira-tion. "Lady," he said, "you're miserable because you can'tget a date. So am I. So why don't we date each other?"

"Surely you jest !" cried Eustacia, looking with scornupon his youthful head and body.. "Oh, I know I'm younger than you are," said Albert

Payson, "but that doesn't mean we can't find many splen-did things to do together."

"Like what?" asked Eustacia."Well," said Albert Payson, "we could get a third and

play some one-o-cat.""Bah!" said Eustacia, grinding her teeth."All right then," said Albert Payson, "we could go

down to the pond and skip some stones and maybe catcha few frogs."

"Ugh!" said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length."How about some run-sheep-run?" he suggested."You are callow, green, and immature," said Eustacia,

"anld I will thank you to absent yourself at once !"

Sighing, Albert Payson lit a cigarette and startedaway.

"Stay!" cried Eustacia."Was that," she asked, "a Philip Morris you just lit?""What else?" said Albert Payson."Then you are not immature!" she cried, clasping

him to her clavicle. "For to smoke Philip Morris is thevery essence of wisdom, incontrovertible proof that youknow rich, natural pleasure from pale, poor substitutes !Albert Payson, I am yours !"

And today they are married and run one of the biggestwicker and raffia establishments in Blue Earth, Minnesota.

To the Editorial Chairman, The TechAt a meeting of the Porters last Friday, the Housing

Manager, Mr. Henry K. Dow, made this statement. "Youshould be grateful that you are working for MIT. Wecould give you six months notice and let you go." Mr.Dow's statement was in my mind a scurrilous attempt tobelittle the status of the porters, some of vhom have beenwith the Institute over thirty years. These remarks seem tobe tainted with some discrimnatory overtones.

The only group who seem to be bearing the brunt of thenew rules going into effect concerning the cleaning of roomsis the porters. Mr. Dow is adding insult to injury by sug-gesting that we as a group are not only superfluous but alsoungrateful to question his pronouncements. Is Mr. Dowspeaking for the MIT corporation, or am I correct in as-suming that Mr. Dow is speaking only for himself? Astatement from the corporation on this question would domuch to alleviate the uncertainty and the resentment thatMr. Dow's remarks have caused.

Joe GreeneSixth floor porterBaker House

Editors comment-It is evident that the Institute's an-nouncements are not only affecting the stvdents, but the

porters as well. Also, it is equally evident that the mannerit which the announcements are made lack a certain amount

of clarification and tact. It is hoped that Mr. Greene'squestions will not go unanswered.

reviews" We Co a Id 6e Id &f WZV fley MkAedourot Saidenberg Chamber Players

On Sunday, March 10, at 3 in the afternoon the MITHumanities Series presented the Saidenberg ChamberPlayers in a program including the works of Cesar Franck,W. A. Mozart, and Johannes Brahms.

An extremely well balanced group the Saidenberg Playersperformed a quintet with piano, a quartet with oboe and aquintet with clarinet with the greatest of ease. Ordinarily.your reviewer does not particularly like chamber music butthis was one of those wonderful exceptions. Everything thatcould be brought through interpretation was there-soft-ness yet delicate, bold yet not overbearing.

From time to time this reviewer has commented on theacoustical properties of Kresge Auditorium for variousmusical events, and it is fitting that we should not overlookchamber music in this respect. As has been mentioned be-fore Kresge is excellent for the symphony, the piano, andthe voice. Ihis is true because there is practically no re-verberation in the building and the sound carries to a walland is killed. An efft. such as this best shows, off these-various things. On the other hand organ music is bestplayed in a structure where there is a considerable amountof reverberation and the sound remaining after the releaseof a thrilling chord will roll around the building severaltimes blending everything with everything before it diesaway to nothing. This Kresge will not and cannot do. Withrespect to Chamber music we again find that a lack of re-'erberation is pleasing for the enjoyment of this mediumof music and, moreover, the stage of Kresge jutting wayout into the audience enhances this for Chamber groupswho should play where the audience can be more intimate.

The concert was well received by a very enthusiasticaudience and this reviewer wishes to remind you that thefifth and last concert sponsored by the MIT HumanitiesSeries will be on April 5th with Ernst Levy in a piano re-cital.

Authorities Offer Two-Step Escape FromDraft: Graduate School And Critical Job

by Robert SoliIn order to clear up questions in

the minds of students about how thedraft will affect their lives, this ar-ticle is presented as a partial an-swer.

For those in their undergraduateyears there are two types of studentdeferment: Class I-D for those whowish to sign a Draft DefermentAgreement with one of the R.O.T.C.units here at the Institute, and theClass 2-S deferment which determin-ed by the score on the Selective Serv-ice College Qualification Test or bythe student's grades.

Students who wish to obtain aClass 2-S deferment must take oneof the College Qualification Tests andreceive a score of 70 or higher or beat a certain level scholastically as afull-time student.

For persons taking the CollegeQuaiification Tests, it is importantthat each knows his own test score,which may be obtained by asking thelocal board personally.

While a test score of 70 or higher

may be the criteria by which a stu-dent is deferred, a second-year stu-dent may pass the test or have beenin the upper-half of his class duringthe preceding academic year; a third-year student may pass the test orhave been in the upper two-thirds ofhis class during the preceding aca-demic year; and a fourth or fifth-year student may pass the test orhave been in the upper three-fourthsof his class during the precedingacademic year.

Those who plan to attend gradu-ate school will be eligible for twoyears' deferment for a Master's de-gree and for three additional yearsfor the Ph.D. degree if a test scoreof 80 or over has been earned or ifthe student is in the upper one-quar-ter of his class as a Senior only.

The student considering MITGraduate School will be sent a ques-tionnaire and instructions for fillingout Selective Service Form 109. How-ever, if he plans to go elsewhere toGraduate School, there may not bea Selective Service Office to turn to

for help. In this case, those concern-ed should go to Mrs. Lutz's office,Room 14-S136, early in the springand fill out a set of Forms 109; thenit will be necessary to ask the grad-uate school to file a Form 109 withthe applicant's Draft Board prior tothe expiration date of his present de-ferment. He must also request hisown deferment, emphasizing his testscore or high grades, or both.

After graduation, the student mayapply for six months active duty withthe help of his employer if he has adegree in a critical course and hastaken a critical job.

Critical courses-Chemistry*; Engineering (a 1l

branches); Geology and Geophysics;Mathematics*; Microbiology and Bac-teriology; Physics*; Teaching, collegeand vocational in critical occupationsonly, and high school in mathematicsand physical and biological sciencesonly.

This week t h e MIT SwimmingTeam put forth a stalwalrt but fruit-less effort against an overwhelminglineup of the N.E.I.S.A's best swiim-mers. Tech's mernien walked out ofthe UConn meet without havingscored a point in the 113 school meet.

This poor showing can be partlyattributed to the illness of some ofthe team's most promising members.Dave Bryson '57 was in the infirmarywith infectious mononucleosis, whilethe team's other diver, Dave Cahlan-der '59 had to keep out of the meetbecause of a spinal injury.

Bryson in the past had beaten PeteLawson of Springfield, winner of theevent last week-end.

Despite the swimmers' disappoint-anent the UConn event provided muchexcitement. Bill Yorzyck, the onlyAmerican Gold Medal Olympic swim-nmer, gave an exhibition. The 220-yardbutterfly man swam his event in 2min. 5.4 seconds-3 seconds less thanthe NCAA record set concurrently atHarvard.

The MIT freshmen met with moresuccess than our varsity men. BobBalrrett, Clarence Kemper, CharlieRook, and John Windle took 6th placein the Freshman 400-yard relay.

Only four of this year's team willgraduate in June. Though these men,Harry Duane, Bob Hull, Bob Jant-zen, and Les Orloff have made out-standing contributions this year, theteam can look ahead to success nextseason.

In addition to the team plaque,Borgwardt was awarded a medal forthe second highest average during theseason. Bob averaged 286 to takehome the award.

This Saturday Tech competes inthe National Rifle Association sec-tionals at Boston U. The scores ofthe top teams at this match will beforwarded to N.R.Ao headquarterswhere the national winners Hwill bedecided. This is undoubtedly the big-gest match of the season and feelingis running high in preparation for it.The nimrods are expected to be "up"for this crucial match. This is thesecond straight year which Tech hastaken the New Englands. Thestrength and balance of the teamare reflected in the fact that severalof the men on this year's squad haveb e en named to various "all-starteams". With a strong distributionof talent throughout the 'lower classesprospects for the next few seasonsare equally as bright.

UCoan Surge NipsMIT Trackmen InFinal Indoor Meet

Meeting the University- of Connec-ticut Saturday, in its third and finalindoor dual track meet, MIT lost ahard fought battle by three points,58-55.

U. Conn surged to an early leadwith an unexpected sweep of thebroad jump after Johnny Maier '59fouled out. Fred Morefield '57 helpedTech back by Adwinning the weightthrow and throwing second in theshot-put. With very poor and unor-thodox facilities for the pole vaultand high jump, Tech was held to atie for second and a tie for first inthe respective events. A sparklingperformance by Larry Lassinger '58added ten points to MIT's score as hewon both the low and high 60-yardhurdles. in the 60-yard dash FredBrownard '59 and Bob Williamson'59 streaked to first and second places.Following behind Connecticut's stel-lar Lew Steiglitz who ran a fantastic4:13.5 mnile, Glenn Bennett '58 strodeto an excellent 4:35 second place. Inthe mile relay Juniors Dick Murdock,Bill Duffy, Glenn Bennett, and EdBell steadily increased their leadwith the aid of U. Conn's sloppy pass-ing to win by 40 yards.

The Freshmen bowed to U. Conn'sstrength and depth 63-41. Outstand-ing Beaver performer .vas Bob Mu-rano who again this week easily wonthe 1000-yard run and the mile. BobSlusser ran a good 1:i8.9 to win the600 and gave the frosh relay a goodlead on the opening leg which theyheld all the way.

With its first game only four weeks away, the MIT baseball team has been holding practices in the armory. Pros-pects are good for improving upon last year's 5-10-2 record. On the team are several good players from last year's fresh-man squad which, led by good hitting and a strong infield. was the first in several years to break into the win column.

These players include first baseman Larry Jones, second sacker Dick Campbell, catcher Warren Goodnow, andpitcher Al Beard. Karl Walterskirchen, a transfer student, is another addition to the team, and should help out atfirst base.

The squad will be led this year by co-captains Al Richman, shortstop, and Pete Hohorst, outfield, both seniors.Other seniors rounding out their college diamond careers are Bill Fleischer and Chuck Speer. Juniors Walt Ackerlund,Dick Barone, and Dan Read will help out with the hitting and fielding chores.

With three hurlers missing fromlast year's team, pitching may be thebiggest hurdle which Coach Whitelawwill have to overcome.

winning this team trophy was CalPlace, Harvard's number two player,but unseeded in the championships.

MIT Captain Tom Thomas '57 hadhigh hopes of advancing far in thistourney on the basis of his improvedplay in the second half of this sea-son. Unfortunately Tom was upset inthe first round by Horan of Dart-

mouth in five games. The scores were12-15, 16-15, 15-8, 13-15, and 15-11.

Also representing Tech, but eiiminat-ed in the first round, were Bill Bate-man '57, Henry Lyden '57, and Jesse

Wallace '58. The team finished theseason with one victory and eightlosses for the year.

Taech Puckmen Lose

To Strong UJ Of N.H.Tleam In Finatl GameA 5-2 defeat at the hands of the

University of New Hampshire lastThursday marked the close of Tech's1956-57 hockey season. The game,played on the victors' ice, was thethirteenth straight setback for coachBen Martin's forces.

During the early stages of thegame MIT strove desperately to gainits first victory. For a while it seem-ed as though this might be possible.After Le Clere drew first blood forUNH, "Bev" Goodison '57 knotted thecount at one goal apiece. At 6:55,Le Clere tallied again to give thelead back to the skaters einom Dur-ham. One more goal for each sidemade the score 3-2 in favor of UNH.After this, however, the game wasall UNH as they put two more goalsthrough the nets in the last periodto wrap up the decision.

Paul Scala '58 and Paul Eek-berg '58 combined to register Tech'ssecond score. Dick McCabe '57 andDick Burgie '58 shared the goaltend-ing chores for the Beavers.

championship for the second straight

year, Ben played effortlessly and didnot lose so much as one game untilthe finals. Sunday afternoon Ben met

John Griffiths of Navy in the finals.

Griffiths surprised the champ in thefirst game with a very hard serve,

the hardest of any player in the tour-nament. Heckscher then settled downto play fine, steady squash, and hisaggressive opponent was no matchfor him. The scores were 12-15, 15-17,

15-10, and 15-7. Henri Salaun, firstranked amateur squash player in theUnited States, says that Heckschner is

one of the five top amateurs in thecountry. Harvard also won the team

Because of the work of Dr. A. M.Gaudin, Richards Professor of Engi-neering, uranium can be recoveredfrom ores up to a hundred times lean-er than had been thought possible.

Dr. Gaudin recently received theRobert H. Richards award for thiswork at the annual meeting of theAmerican Institute of Mining, Metal-iurgical, and Petroleum Engineers inNew Orleans.

The work began during World WarII when t h e Manhattan District,which developed the A-bomb, askedDr. Gaudin to head an MIT team toinvestigate ways of getting uraniumout of low-grade ores by flotationmethods. Dr. Gaudin was chosen be-cause he is an authority on flotationmethods. However, Dr. Gaudin didnot want to restrict himself to a sin-gle method, and he received permis-sion to try other methods. The suc-cessful process has nothing to do withflotation.

The first step in the process is toleach the uranium in sulphuric acid--dissolve the uranium, leaving theinsoluble impurities behind. The prob-lem which faced the group was, howto separate the uranium from the

New Levy Symphony

In Boston Premiere

At Kresge, MYlarch 15The Boston premiere of Kaudee's

song cycle, "Chamber Music" andProf. Ernst Levy's "Chamber Sym-phony" will be held in Kiesge Audi-torium on Friday, March 15.

Both "Chamber Music", which isbased on poems of James Joyce, andthe Symphony, were composed in 1951and first performed in 1952 at Man-del Hall of the University of Chi-cago. The coming performance is thesecond anywhere of Prof. Levy's Sym-phony No. 12.

"Chamber Music" is written forthree voices and a string quartet, andthe symphony is performed by elevenplayers, with three voices in the sev-enth and the last movement.

The two pieces will be perfomnedby members of the Boston SynmphonyOrchestra, with Polyna Zagaretu, so-prano, Margaret Danford, alto, andRichard Gilley, tenor, singing the vo-cal solos.

sulphuric acid. At first the group ex-perimented. with cations, but whilethese extracted the uranium theyalso extracted other metals like ironand aluminum. Then the Batelle Me-morial Institute (Illinois) publisheda report as a result of research inother aspects of uranium products.They found that uranium could besatisfactorily extracted by anions.Immediately, according to Dr. Gau-din, "we dropped everything on anhour's notice and proceeded to inves-tigate anion resins." This led to suc-cess.

The other two major contributionsof the group to the uranium extract-ing industry consist of RIP, or resinin pulp, and SIP, or solvent in pulp.The former is a way of avoiding theexpensive need for separating thepregnant uranium liquor from wastesolids which follow the leaching op-eration, and the latter is a similarstep-saver in the solvent extractionmethod which is applied to the proc-essing of some low-grade ores.
