The sections containing picturesof the Seniors and the faculty havebeen moved to the rear of the bookas the board feels that they are ofinterest principally to the indi-|viduals involved. The classes andall their honorary societies follow'the activities.
The banquet for the Techniquestaff, at which the managing boardfor the coming year will be an-nounced, will be held tonight atthe Hotel Statler.
Frosh DebatersTo Start Contest
The preliminary program of theSecond Annual Freshman DebatingContest to be held from April 23 toMay 1, will commence at 4: 00 P.M.this afternoon in L~itchfield Loungewhen all participants will meet toreceive instructions and advice onthe art of debating. Robert P.Auty, '45, assistant manager incharge of the contest, will explainrules and principles of argument,and debating coach TheodoreWood, Jr., will speak on "How toWin a Debate." Also included onthe program is an exhibition de-bate.
This freshman competition wasfirst held last spring by the Debat-ing Society with the cooperationof the English department for thepurpose of stimulating interest inpublic speaking and argument.
A team of three speakers wasselected from each section. Thevarious teams then met duringclass hours for the first two roundsof elimination, after which thesemi-finals and finals were held.Professor Eaton's section 6 teamhad the honor of becoming the firstwinner.
The instructor of the winningsection will have his name en-graved on the contest trophy andwill have the privilege of keepingthe cup for a year. It is probablethat the winning speakers will re-ceive medals.

Following this main meetingtwenty-two fraternities, the studenthouse, the Senior House and dor-mitories, the Graduate house, andthe 5:15 Club all had "bull session"dinners.
The Senior House and Under-graduate Dormitories held a jointdinner in Morss Hall after whichthey adjourned to the LitchfieldLounge where those in attendanceheard Professor William H. Timbieof the department of Electrical En-gineering speak on the importanceof religion today.
The 5:15 Club held their dinnerin the club room and had as theirguest Frederick K. Morrison of theGeology department.
The Sixth Annual Technology
Embassy, held last Wednesday

The Reverend Mr. Waitstill H.Sharp delivered the main addressof the meeting in Room 10-250, dis-cussing "Cynicism, Agnosticism, Re-ligion,-Three options for the in-telligent student." He was intro-duced by James R. Killian, Jr., '26,executive assistant to PresidentKarl T. Compton.
Mr. Sharp assured his audiencethat all three options are intelli-gent outlooks. In defining the op-tions, Mr. Sharp stated that cynicsdespair of a meaning to the ulti-mate reality of nature, while ag-nostics do not pretend to under-

Three RedemptionsOffered By FreshFor Option Holders
Miss Judy Darling WillChoose Winning StubsAt Noon On Wednesday
Three holders of options for thefreshman prom, who will be chosenby a drawing in the Lobby of Build-ing 10 next Wednesday at noon,will receive free redemptions oftheir options, it was announcedyesterday by the dance committee.The drawing will be made by MissJudy Darling, vocalist for RolyRogers Orchestra, which has beenchosen to play for the dance onMay 8th.

The committee announced at thesame time that the dance, in spiteof rurnors, will be held in a hotel.The Hotel Kenmore in KenmoreSquare has been chosen not onlybecause of its facilities for handlingthe dance, but also because of itsaccessibility for those men who donot own cars.
Roly Rogers orchestra is to bethe same one which played for theSaturday night dance on JuniorProm weekend and not his smallerorchestra which has been seenaround town at various otherfunctions.
The options which are being soldat $2.00 and will be redeemed laterfor $1.30, including tax. They canbe purchased from all freshmancouncil members at all fraternities,at the 5:15 Club, or at the salesdesk in the Lobby of Building 10.
Seniors Pick JonesFor Informal Dance

completion of a modern war. Technology students realized thatengineers and scientists were particularly needed by their coun-try il this hour of darknes, and they readily agreed to an ac-celerated education because it would give them a means to servetheir country in a capacity where and at a time when, she neededthem most.
Two things, however, remained to plague the members ofthe Junior class: the means of financing their Senior year afterthey had been deprived of a summer's earnings, and the possi-bility that an accelerated schedule might omit some courses andconsequently decrease the thoroughness of their training. Thefirst of these problems was solved by the Institute through anexpanded scholarship and loan policy which satisfied the finan-cial requirements of most of the worthy students.
The second of these fears will be dispelled, we believe, bythe course schedules announced today. Careful perusal of thesenewly-devised programs will show that the general curricula ofmost courses have remained unchanged and that the humanities,social studies, and non-professional courses, which spice theengineers' education with a little culture, have not beenexcluded.
The undergraduate body owes its thanks to the Instituteofficials who formulated the speed-up program with the intelli-gence and forethought which will enable the student to beginhis service to his countrv at an earlier date and with no decreasein efficiency and effectiveness. These officials have solved thecomplex problem of acceleration in wartime education with asanity and insight unadulterated by the confusing, thoughtlessactions which so many other schools have adopted as solutionsto the same problem.

open out in Brookline at the Beta
Theta Pi Lodge this week-end. The
boys will entertain from ten to two
this Friday by way of their Spring
Formal. Bert Edwards has been
engaged as maestro for the eve-
ning.
. . . for you Tech men who are
still stag-dated for Friday, the com-
bined Lasell-Technology Glee Club
concert seems a good bet for diver-
sion. After the concert, a record
dance will hold sway till twelve-
thirty with a contingent of some
two hundred Lasell chirpsters avail-
able as dates. All Tech is invited
with formal dress being the only
requisite.
. . . continuing the week-end in
a party vein the Lambda Chi Alpha
brothers have taken over the Brad-
ford Roof Saturday night for their
Spring Formal. Chappie Arnold
will supply the music while the
refreshments. There is always the
chance that the House sextet will
offer entertainment of one sort or
another by way of harmonization.
. . . holding high the informal
standard for the week-end are the
lads from 22 the Fenway who are
primping up for their Bohemian
party this Saturday. The motif for
the semi-masquerade will be that of
Shangri-Lha with Harry Reeves
supplying the appropriate (we won-
der) music. As can be safely ex-
pected the wafting of Chi Phi "sea-
breezes' will be a great factor in
determining the climate on the

under such martial circumstances,
he thinks is almost subversive in-
activity.
Army Day especially, he was all
full of bellicosia and nostalgia.
Seems the sight of that column-of-
threes, three dimensional, khaki
sinusoid wavering across the greens-
ward brought back the long long
thoughts of his Lost Youth, when
he served his apprenticeship to
Mars. There's no fool like an Old
War Horse, or any part thereof,
that's what he always says.
But when he wore the uniform
in-no, of-the Other War, things
were different. (The prepositional
shift is necessary in order to speak
the whole truth. While the uni-
form served brilliantly at Cantigny
and St. Mihiel, Brother Alpha was
not actually in it at the time. Even
the uniforms were diff erent-dog
collars, spiral ;puttees, and bar-
racks caps all designed for mini-
mum comfor t and efficiency..
Bayonets, too, and cartridge belts,
both precarious and insecure. No
band and no grass. War was what
Sherman said it was-even if actual
hostilities had subsided some time|
previous.
The Old School Tie
That's the main and rather ob-
vious difference. The Global War
(ex-World War II) may or may not
be won on the Playing Fields of
M.I.T. The Old School Tie may not
necessarily be red with gray stripes.
These local E'usileers, or Minute
Meen, or Franc Tireurs, barked at by
shiny Lieutenants-General as they
march and counter-march accoyd-
ionly, may be just a diversion to
keep the Mata Haris out of the
Radiation Lab or off t-he roof of
Building Six. Or maybe the parad-
ing is j ust to save tires on that
power lawnlmower that used to keep
classes awake in that vicinity.
So HEe Read a War Book
This John Steinbeck, who hit the
jackpot with the Grapes of Wrath
and Of Mice and Men has gone out
over his depth in The Moon Is
Down, a boiling pot of propaganda.
It is a good enough picture of an
occupied Norwegian village, with an
admirable Mayor Orden and a neu-
rotic German colonel, but compared
with the two foregoing American
books, it's a Life camera study or a
March of Time. Good, but not
Great. The thesis that a country
that won't be beaten, can't be
beaten crashes through a door that
has been open for some time. His
Nazis are psychological sissies. In
Poland the real ones were tougher.

THE NEW COURSE SCHEDULESOn pages three and four of this issue of The Tech appear
the revised course schedules for the Senior year, which will fol-low during the summer directly after the Junior terms accord-ing to the recent decision of the Faculty and Corporation tospeed up the last year of a Technology education. That such amoderately accelerated program was necessary became especiallyapparent after the United States had entered the war withundermanned and underarmed fighting forces and after theUnited Nations had suffered several humiliating and decisive
MIRACLE MANBataan, one of the few isolated plots of ground in the
Southwest Pacific which had not felt the tread of Japanese feet,has fallen as it was inevitably doomed to fall. But with its cap-ture has come a loftier esteem and a greater respect in the heartsof all America for the courage and ability of General DouglasMacArthur. For it was not until MacArthur had left the be-sieged defenders of Bataan that the Nipponese were able tomake any headway in their endeavor to rid entirely the Philip-pine Islands of the gallant American and Filipino soldiers.
Today MacArthur works furiously in Australia whippinginto shape the defenses of that island-continent in preparationfor the expected Japanese onslaught. From his headquarters inAustralia, the General must take his stand against the nextenemy foray, and from there he must also send forth any at-tacking units which are capable of leaving their base to dobattle with the Japs on "foreign" soil. With his supply routesconsiderably lengthened and dangerously threatened by thehostile hordes, be faces an almost insurmountable task, verymuch like the one he handled so expertly in the Philippines.
Upon his Success depends the success of the United Nations'Pacific campaign. May he prove to be in Australia the samemiracle man he was in Bataan.

Friday, -:pril to, 1942
The urgent need for men withthorough technical training to
aserve-both in industry and in thearmed forces requires that the In-
3!stitulte's fundamental plan of in-struction continue unchanged. War-
:time adjustments therefore consti-jtute an intensification of effort
rather than a shift of direction.Thle statements below cover thequestions most frequently asked re-garding the war program.
Accelerated ProgranmUnder present conditions the In-
stitute does not plan to adopt anyextreme "speed-up" plan for its stu-dents. A careful analysis indicatesthat such a plan would weaken
irather than strengthen its totalacontribution to the war effort, and
swould retard rather than expediteeffective service by its students.This decision has been taken afterwide discussion with Army, Navry,and industrial officers who arethoroughly aware of the urgent needf or well-trained scientists and en-gineers. The Institute believes thatthe national effort requires a
istrengthening, rather than a weak-ening of technical educational pro-
dgrams, and this is the more im-perative because both the war and
Adour long-term national progress|call for men of superior education
in science and engineering.The calendar of the first three
years will accordingly be left un-changed, and the First Year class
,'will enter in September as usual.jThe summers following the first
and second years will be availablefor employment in war industries
iexcept that part of this time will bedevoted to the summer courses
'tnormally required in certain cur-ricula. The work of the last under-graduate year will, however, begin
,in June following the completionof the third year, and the class will
jgraduate the following February.The usual policy will be continuedof permitting qualified students toanticipate subj ects or to take ad-vanced standing examinations insubjects in which they have notbeen enrolled, in order to expeditecompletion of their graduation re-quirements. Most of the basic sub-
|jects of the first three years will, ashitherto, be offered also in the
|Summer Session.The formal action of the Faculty
fiin approving a Senior SummeriTerm for the Class of 1943 included
the following votes:;"That first-term subjects for
seniors given in the Senior Sum-.mer Term be not repeated for,.seniors in the Fall Term, and
that second-term senior subjectsgiven in the Fall Term be notrepeated for seniors in the Spring
fi Term.|"That during the war period
undergraduate students of theInstitute be requested to obtain
iemployment contributory to thewar effort during summer periodswhen not engaged in academic
|work, and that they be requiredto submit to their registration
Xofficers on registration day of the-Fall Term a report describing theduration and type of summerwork engaged in by them."
Graduate ProgramNo definite change of registration
dates for graduate students hasbeen made. Attention is directed,however to the unusual opportunitywhich is available to graduate stu-dents to expedite their program byenrolling in the summer term fora program of work which will beacceptable as in partial fulfillmentof the requirements for advanceddegrees.
Changes in Curricula
and SubjectsNo essential changes in regular
courses of study have been foundnecessary to adjust them to war-time needs; the scientist and engi-neer as normally trained are in de-mand beyond the capacity of thecolleges to supply. Certain specialsubjects are available such as thework in ultra high-frequencyoffered for selected students inElectrical Engineering or Physics
and preparing them for electronics,radio, and communications work inthe Army, Navy, and industry.(Both the military services areoffering commissions to properlyqualified men with training in thisfield) .
Information bearing upon thewar has been incorporated in manyprofessional subjects, as for ex-ample in Business and EngineeringAdministration where extensivecase material on war productionproblems has been collected, or asin Architecture where the designcourses now include special prob-lems in construction methods re-lating to war construction. Thelarge research program on warproblems affords selected studentsopportunities to choose thesis sub-jects in fields directly related to thewar effort.
Camp TechnoelogyThe Civil Engineering Summer
School at Camp Technology, EastMachias, Maine, is offering a pro-gram of military interest to a lim-ited number of undergraduates inaddition to those who regularlywould attend the camp. Many mil-itary problems, such as the estab-lishment of artillery ranges, map-ping, orientation, and the astro-nomical determination of directiondepend directly for solution uponaknowledge of the basic principles ofsurveying taught at the camp: theschool is given from July 28 to Sep-tember 18. Students who wish tobe considered for the camhp shouldconsult Professor J. W. Howard,Room 1-263, or Professor J. D.Mitsch, Room 1-381, M.I.T.
The HumanitiesAfter careful consideration, the
faculty has decided that it is im-portanlt to preserve the existing bal-ance between professional coursesand the non-professional subj ectsin English, moderm languages, thehumanities, and the social scienlces.In the case of languages and eco-nomics, especially, these tools aremore than ever necessary. Allthese courses, however, have beenreconsidered as to method and con-tent. Thus in elementary composi-tion, special attention will be givento the form and content of govern-ment reports. Similarly, in the re-quired courses in the history ofthought, materials of a political,character will be used which givethe ideological background of thepresent war and which emphasizethe values inherent in the Amer-ican way of life. Similarly in eco-nomics the principles and thetopics selected will serve to intro-duce the economics problems ofthe war period and of post-warplanning.
In modern languages the increas-ing interest in Spanish is met bynew sections, one especially plannedto fit in with senior schedules.
For the first term of the senioryear, which comes this summer,eight General Study electives willbe available as follows: Militaryhistoryc and policy of the United,States; Introduction to Music;Comparative Political Institutions;the Economics of War; ReadingSeminar; Psychology; Topographyin a World War; and Problems ofthe Far East.
Three of these courses are newand all but two are obviously in-tended to give the type of trainingwhich the times especially demand.In other cases, for example, theReading Seminar, the books chosenfor consideration will emphasizethe increased importance of inter-national politics. Next year, suchcourses as Economic Geographyand International Relations will bemodified to fit the existing situa-tion.
Selective ServiceThe following instructions are
being sent to students who are reg-istered for Selective Service:
"To the extent that he is able,every citizen should see that hisservices are put to the most effec-tive use during the war. In manycases this service can be most effec-tively performed in the militaryservices; in other cases the citizen

can contribute most by remainingin a civilian capacity. The regula-tions which govern the operationof the Selective service systemrecognize the importance of civilianpursuits in the following passages:
'It is in the national interestand of paramount importance toour national defence that civil-ian activities which are contrib-Uting to the national health,safety, and interest should bedisrupted as little as possible,consistent with the fundamentalpurpose of the Selective Trainingand Service Act.'"In the fields of engineering and
science there is a shortage of menfor both civilian and military ac-tivities, and the governmentthrough a nation-wide educationalprogram is seeking to train addi-tional men to meet this shortage,recognizing the fact that the nor-mal supply of engineers and sci-entists graduating from regular col-lege programs will not be adequateto meet the country's needs.
"The Headquarters of the Selec-tive Service system have also recog-nized this need for professionallytrained men, and local boards havebeen notified that students in cer-tain professional fields may be con-sidered for deferment under appro-priate conditions.
"With these considerations inmind the Institute is ready to re-quest deferments for students ifthese students are preparing forwork in essential occupations, ifthey are in high standing at theInstitute, and if they show promiseof making a'significant contribu-tion to the national welfare in pro-fessional capacities.
"It is clear that any decision tosubmit a deferment request shouldbe made by the student, and inmaking this decision he should askhimself 'In what capacity will I beserving the best interests of thecountry?' If such consideration in-dicates that a continuation ofscholastic training is wise. the ma-chinery for making a defermentrequest has beer established.
"To initiate such action, the fol-lowing procedure must be followed:
1. If you have already received aquestionnaire fill out the enclosedcard immediately and return to theRegistrar's Office, Room 3-107,M.I.T., Cambridge, Mass.
2. If you have not yet receiveda questionnaire, but have beengiven an Order Number (not serialnumber) fill out the enclosed cardand return to the Registrar's Of-fice. When you receive your ques-tionnaire, which you' are requiredto return to your Local Boardwithin five days, immediatelynotify John J. Rowlands, Room7-208, M.I.T. If you are eligible fordeferment, the Institute will thenfurnish you with an affidavit whichshould be returned with the ques-tionnaire to your Local Board. Re-member to keep your Local Boardinformed at all times of your where-abouts.
3. If you have not yet receivedan Order Numlber, hold this carduntil you do and then return it(see section 2 above) for furtheraction..
"A recent statement from Head-quarters of the Selective ServiceSystem to Local Boards includedthe following:
'When a person is in trainingand preparation, ot her than in in-dustry, it is usually impossible todetermine whether he is trainingand preparing for an occupationin any particular activity. For thisreason any person who is foundto be a 'necessary man, by reasonof undergoing such training andp~reparation may be considered forclassification in ·Class II-B.'
'If a registrant is in training andpreparation in a recognized andaccredited academic, professional~or technical college or university,it must be concluded that he willnot have sufficiently demonstratedbis abilityr to the extent that hec
-,gives promise of successfully com.

;ion, until approximately the'satis.factory completion of the secondacademic year of his college work.'
Transfers fromCooperating Colleges
The prevalence of acceleratedprograms of study among theeleven colleges included in the In-stitute's cooperative plan intro-duces certain complications in theprocess of transfer. It is recom-mended that students contemplat-ing entrance under this plan com-municate with the Institute's Di-rector of Admissions at an earlystage of their college course. Ingeneral, two years plus one sum-mer at the Institute are requiredunder this plan, though some ad-justment may be required for stu-dents who complete six semestersin college at a date which putsthem out of step with this program.
Army R. 0. T. C.
Students entering the third year,having -completed the requiredbasic Military Science subjects ofthe first two years may, as hereto-fore, apply for admission to theadvanced course will continue mili-which runs concurrently with thelast two years of the undergraduatecurriculum. After graduation, stu-dents who have completed theadavnced course will continue mili-tary training at the service schoolof the branch in which they havebeen trained, Upon satisfactorycompletion of this course they willbe commissioned as second lieu-tenants in that branch of the serv-ice. About one-third of the Institutegraduates now take the advancedcourse. Students in this group areexempt from registration under theSelective Service Act.
Enrollment of
Naval Reserve Offiers
While there is no Naval R.O.T.C.at the Institute, qualified third andfourth year students not enrolledin the Army R.O.T.C. may applyfor enrollment in the Naval Reserve.Those accepted are enrolled as pro-visional ensigns in the Navy, con-ditional upon completion of therequirements for graduation. NoNaval instruction as such is givenin conjunction with the Institutecourse, but such training is givenafter the officer is ordered to activeduty. All ensigns commissioned onthis basis are assigned to duty asspecialists in branches appropriateto their training.
Consult the Placement Bureaufor detailed and up-to-date informa-tion on opportunities for commis-sions in both the Army and theNavy.
Meteorology Training
At the request of the Army AirCorps, the Navy, and the WeatherBureau, the Institute is conductingnine-month courses in meteorologyleading to commissions in the AirCorps and the Navy or positions inthe Weather Bureau. College grad-uates with adequate training inMathematics and Physics mayapply. The next course will prob-ably start in February, 1943.
E.S.H.D.T. Program
In addition to its regular educa-tional program, the Institute isoffering many subjects under theEngineering, Science, and Manage-ment Defense Training Programof the United States Office of Edu-cation. These subjects are gener-ally not open to regular studentsas credit subjects counting towarddegrees. They are offered for Armyand Navy personnel, Civil Serviceemployees, and civilians employedin defense work. Courses in NavalArchitecture, in Aeronautical En-gineering and in Aircraft Enginesare being given for Naval Officers,work in Ultra High-FrequencyRadio Technique is given for bothArmy and Navy officers, a coursein Ordnance Inspection in coopera-tion with the Watertown Arsenalhas been given several times forCivil Service Inspectors, and thissummer a program in physics willbe offered. tor men detailed hereby Naval Ordnance.

TECHNOLOGY LOSESEXCELLENT COACH
Last spring a Junior remarked tome, "The two swimming coachesremind me of something at theNew York World's Fair, the trylonand the perisphere." In spite ofsuch ribbing as this John Jarosh isa darn good fellow.
In the good old days when fresh-man P. T. was a requirement, JohnJarosh as swimming coach was incharge of a group which chose toundergo the ordeal in the pool.Jarosh was no slacker; he pitchedright in and did the calisthenicswith amazing muscular control andpower.
Held Several Records
Few students realize that TohnJarosh was captain of the swim-ming team here at Tech back inthe days before the new AlumniPool when the swimming team hadto migrate to the University Clubof Boston for a few practices aweek. Coach Jarosh held the 150-yard backstroke, 440-yard freestyle,and 300-yard individual medley.
One thing which I enjoyed lastyear was seeing him glide thelength of the little pool underwater. He would stand at one end,take a breath, submerge, and shoveoff from the end of the little pool.Effortlessly he could go the lengthof the small pool without a stroke.

Marriage LecturesConcluded Tuesday
Dr. Janney DeliversFinPal Talk Of Series
Dr. James C. Janney, noted gyne-cologist and executive of the Mar-riage Study Association, deliveredthe last lecture in the T.C.A. spon-sored series of talks "In Prepara-tion for Marriage" at 4:00 P.M. and5:00 P.M. last Tuesday afternoon inHuntington Hall.
The subject of Dr. Janney's dis-cussion was the birth of a baby,and his talk was illustrated by
diagramatic slides. The doctor alsogives marriage preparation coursesat Boston University and WellesleyCollege.
One of the most important state-ments which Dr. Janney made wasthe fact that young people mustunderstand what they're doing.Knowledge, not instinct, makes forultimate skill in attaining the fullbenefit from marriage.
After his lecture Dr. Janney heldan informal discussion with thenumerous students who sought toquestion him. He answered allquestions which were asked of himover a period of almost forty min-utes. The students evidenced ex-treme gratefulness for the opportu-nity of having an authoritativeperson give advice on these mat-ters, it was said by Professor F.Alexander Magoun last night.
Copies of the marriage lecturesyllabus are available at the T.C.A.office and in Professor Magoun'soffice.
