program that can compare with, say, the Mid-western colleges. Yet in the sports in whichthe coaching has been excellent such as track,swimming, and crew, Technology has beenable to turn out top-notch teams. Though prac-tice hours have been inconvenient and possiblycurtailed to some extent owing to the rigorousacademic work at the Institute, here is con-clusive proof that our school can have athleticteams to be proud of.

Denouncing a coach is a delicate matter.The initial step usually has to be taken by theplayers themselves. Members of the teamwho expect to play again the following yearare not prone to compromise possibly theirposition at that time in case their complaintsrevert to their coach. Graduating players oftendon't care. Besides, those participants not toofamiliar with the sport often don't realizewhether the coaching is actually good or poor.Spectators seem resigned to blame the lack ofpractice hours for poor team showing, notknowing whether the team could have madeout better with better instruction;

It would, therefore, be well to throw thespotlight on the coaching situation in eachsport and to do something about a matter thathas escaped the attention of all but a few fora long time. That body is the Advisory Council.on Athletics in whose hands rests the appoint-ment of the coaches. The Council realizes thepresent situation and is trying to do somethingabout it. However, the channel of communi-cation between participants of a particularsport and the Advisory Council is a long runso that the latter does not always have itsfinger on the pulse of opinion and sentimentof the participants in Technology sports.

Dr. Dana L. Farnsworth, Institute MedicalDirector, who was a guest at last Tuesdaynight's Council meeting, suggested that at theend of the season of each sport, the players begiven a chance to give their opinion anony-mously, of the season's coaching. This systemhas worked at other schools and also provedquite worthwhile last term, when Tau Beta Picarried on an Instructor Rating Survey inCourse X. With the opinions of the personswho ought to know best in hand, the AdvisoryCouncil would be better informed and in anenhanced p~osition to act on the coaches. Wethink Dr. Farnsworth has a good idea.

Avast, ye lubbers!! This week thespotlight, through the spray ofmurky Charles Riverrank cigarettesmoke and sulphuric acid fumes isbeing trained on Steve King, '47,one of the more versatile "men-about-Tech."

Steve unpretentiously started hislife at Tech in September, '41, byjoining the freshman swimmingteam and sticking to it throughhis Sophomore year. Risking thedanger of being considered all-wet(I couldn't resist it), Steve wentout "sails to the wind" for theNautical Association and was activein the Inter-collegiate Yacht Rac-ing, Organization.

Duty called Steve to the war inJune, '43, when he spent some timeat Texas Tech in the AS.T.P. Un-able to resist the water, Steve spentthe remainder of his time in theCoast Guard where he continuedsailing and swimming, incidentallybeating the Technology mermen ina meet while swimming for theCoast Guard. Coming back to Techin November, '45, Steve started offwith a strong wind in his sails. Hewas elected Vice-commodore of theNautical Association and Presidentof the Inter-collegiate Yacht Rac-ing Organization as soon as hereturned, advancing to the Com.-modoreship at the next election ofthe Nautical Association.

In line with his professional in-terest, Course V, Steve reorganizedthe inactive students branch of theAmerican Chemical Society andwas made secretary. A member ofAlpha Chi Sigma, the honorarychemical fraternity, Steve's moststartling discovery in the realm ofchemistry is the amazing solubilityof poly-wool-trousersate in sulfuricacid. The scene of this phenomenalaccidental discovery was Steve'sorganic lab, where he spilled somesulfuric acid on his trousers andwas forced to step out of the causeof his difficulty, a wise, althoughindiscreet move. Steve's chemicalstrip tease caused the coeds in theclass "no end" of amusement. Steveis now engaged in some more Consverytional research work for thePlastic Manufacturers Association.

Steve's past is wrapped up withthe Deerfield and Williston Aca-demies where he played soccer, theSmith College Day School wherehe played tag, and his Northamp-ton home where he played hide andgo seek when he was a youngster.At present he is living in the ThetaDelta Chi fraternity house and islooking forward to attending theGraduate School or doing researchin industrial plastics. Although heis urinarried, unengaged and un-committed, he is keeping an openeye for any red-headed coeds. Asa final word of tribute and an assur-ance that Steve will use his poten-tialities to the fullest advantages,allow me to inform the reader thatlast summer Steve held the enviablejob of water-front counselor at :agirls camp. Obviously a man witha bright future!

Arnold S. JudsonGeneral Manager, The TechWalker Memorial, CambridgeDear sir:

February 28, 1947

Having read the letter to the editor in The Techwritten by S. Martin Billett, '48, I want to expressmy opposition to his opinion. Mr. Billett states:"It is obvious to anyone that if men do not go outfor athletics, regardless of their reason, they do notwish to engage in a sports program." This may beobvious to him, but it isn't so obvious to me. Ibelieve that a lot of men come to Tech.with, theidea of going out not only for sports, but for ac-tivities also. However, they get so tied up in theirstudies that they do neither. As a result, they de-teriorate physically and spiritually. Once a persondoes not go out for sports or activities in his fresh-man year, he finds it very difficult to get himselfto go out later on due to the natural "inertia" whichovercomes him. I firmly believe that if a man oncelearns that there is time to do other things duringthe week besides study, he will go out for activitiesand sports. From personal experience I know ofseveral fraternities that have in the past compelledtheir freshmen.to go out for extra-curricular activities,and as a result these boys continued to do so aftertheir freshman year. Contrasted withi this, I alsoknow that where the freshmen in some fraternitieswere riot compelled to go out for activities, they neverdid go out for them after their freshman year be-cause they never found out that they could maketime for them if they tried.

Mr. Billett also speaks of the "imperious positiontaken by the Institute Committee." I wish to pointout that the Institute Committee is made up ofstudents elected by the student body and appointedby the various activities. It is thus composed of men(and a woman) who have shown their ability in somefield of activity or who have been elected to representthe students. It is an entirely democratic body in thatanyone who wishes to come to a meeting of the In-stitute Committee and speak may do so. Nothingprevents anyone from doing this. In addition, Ishould like to point out that a comprehensive studyof the athletic program was done ,by a study groupof eight or nine people, including A.A. representatives.The problem was given much consideration.

I am in full agreement with the Institute Commit-tee recommendations concerning the athletic pro-gram, and the fact that the Institute Committee istaking an active interest in the problems of theschool speaks well for it.

Very truly yours,WALT-E A. LACK, '47

Call Me Mister, produced by Mel-vyn Douglas, presented at the Shu-bert Theatre, is an extremely livelymusical. The bulk of the revuesatirizes the Army.

The cast of the show has beenselected from ex-servicemen andwomen, and it is indeed refreshingto see a musical that is not builtaround an exclusive star. In thisshow the skits stand or fall on theirown merits. They do not dependupon the presence of the star fortheir success.

The skits ill this show follow theusual musical revue patternby fall-ing into a comedy grup and a songgroup. The best known and per-haps the funniest of the comicgroup is the skit showing the AirCorps -as seen Sby the Infantry. Filledwith chatter spoken by fiendishlybemedalled ("I want the good pos-ture medal'') fliers, the skit soundsand looks like What Frice Glory!played by Spike Jones. Another,picturing what. would have hap-pened to Paul Revere if he hadmade his ride today was moreamnusing to a man who had beeninside a supply room than to acivilian. Easily appreciated byr allwas the opening skit of the soldierwho returns home to a family comepletely sold on all the magazie areticles about psychoneurosis.

The two important songs, "I'llAlways Be," and "South America,Take It Away!." have been boostedinto popularity by the usual com-mercial channels and' are well-enough known to have sustainedtheir skits, no matter what.

It probably is useless to praiseany onle member of the cast, sincemost of them wandered from skitto skit, apparently as their fancypleased. them. One {thing was cer-tfin; most of thbe cael seemed. tobe enjoying itself.

THE TECH

A NEW LEAFLong ago in the dim past history of the In-

stitute, there was formed a Corporation Com-mittee on Student Life. This committee wassupposed to take an active interest in studentlife at the Institute, and see that action wastaken on constructive suggestions for improve-ments in extracurricular activities and the like.

Up until recently this committee remained inthe background and rarely figured in the news,principally because its members were occupiedwith other matters and had little time to devoteto the students. Furthermore, they operated atsuch a level that it was difficult for any inter-ested parties among the student body to reachthem.

This situation has recently taken a decidedturn for the better, when a dinner meeting washeld last week with members of the committee,interested parties on the administration, andstudents prominent in activities attending. Thismeeting was no more than a bull session inwhich the students did most of the talking,presenting their assorted gripes and severalconstructive ideas for the improvement in thecondition of activities in general. It wasdecided to hold one of these meetings aboutonce a month so that this corporation committeemight better perform its purported function.

W e feel this new attitude on the part of thecorporation to be a great improvement over theold. We should further like to commend theDean's Office for establishing this commonmeeting ground for both the Corporation andthe students. Few schools are f ortunate enoughto have an administration which is taking suchan active interest in the affairs of their stu-dents while maintaining a strict laissez-fairepolicy with regard to supervision or interven-tion. We can only hope that this attitude onthe part of the administration and Corporationwill continue and that they and the studentswill achieve an even greater unanimity in thefuture.

Public Rel. CommitteeWill Hold Competition

Competition for positions onthe newly-formed Public Rela-tions Committee will begin nextweek, Kenneth S. Brock, '48,Chairman, announced today.Candidates will be assigned aspecial project which will takeapproximately one week, thenext week candidates will beinterviewed, and the followingweek the final appointmentswill be made. Six new men areneeded in addition to the fivemen now on the committee, andall classes are eligible to com-pete for the positions.

In the future candidates willbe required to serve the com-mittee for one term before be-coming members. Full detailsmay be obtained at the smokerto be held in Litchfield Loungeat 5:00 P.M. on Monday, March

-10.HOW IS OUR COACHING?

The coach spells the difference between agood or a bad athletic team. A skilled coachcan make a superior playing aggregation loutof an initially inexperienced and untrainedgroup of men, provided team morale is kepthigh and the instruction on an expert level. Aninexperienced or despondent coach may besurrounded with excellent material, yet maynot produce a winning team.

This week, murmurs were heard concerningthe coaching of two Technology teams. In onesport, the players were incensed at the "un-sportsmanlike" attitude of their coach duringthe conduct of their games, besides criticisinghis defeatist attitude, andlallegedly poor meth-ods of coaching. In the other, a long-standingcondition of slightly less than superior coach-ing was p~ointed out and deplored. The namesof these sports don't "natter for it is the broadpolicy of the coaching of Technology teamsthat is at stake.

Admittedly, M.I.T. does not have a sports

Zacharias SpeaksOn Nuclear Eng.

A.A.E.E. Plant Trip ToBe Held Next Monday

I Professor Jerrold R. Zacharias,Director of the Laboratory forNuclear Science and Engineering,spoke last Wednesday under thesponsorship of the A.I.E.E. on "Engi-neering in Nuclear Science."

After listing and describingbriefly the various devices for workin nuclear experiments, such as thecyclotron and the synchroton,Zacharias went into the field ofengineering. The engineer is neededto construct all the larger, morecomplex machines for the ,physi-cists to use.

Justin A. Perlman, '48, chairmanof the A.I.E.E. student branch, hasannounced that a plant trip to theSimplex Wire and Cable Corpora-tion is scheduled for Monday,March 10. This trip is open to menin all courses, and will start at2:00 P.M. from Room 10-206. Asa special feature of the trip, therewill be a short high voltage demon-stration in the electrical laboratoryof the company.

Prof. Greene(Continued from Page 1)

war, Professor Greene divided theminto two proups: those causes thataffect the masses and those thataffect the politicians. Wars resultfrom an interaction of the two, hesaid. The popular emotions thatcontribute to war are fear of starv-ation, nationalism (the "ta-hell-with-the-rest-of-the-world" atti-tude, as Professor Greene calLs it),and indignation (the "it's-nasty-it's-horrid-you-can't-get-away-with-it" attitude.)

On the higher plane of the poli-ticians, lust for political and eco-nomic power creates wars. Of thesetwo, political lust is the most dan-gerous, said Professor Greene. Apolitician not only desires morepower, but also a politician de-sires not to be "out of power." Herepresents a-whole party of lesserpoliticians who depend on him fortheir power. This fact accounts forthe necessity of a politician to atleast maintain his power. Profes-sor Greene cited Stalin as an ex-ample.

Besides the emotional factorsthat create wars there is anotherand, perhaps, most importantcause, weapons. "They have thepsychological effect of breedingwars by their mere existence," saidProfessor Greene. "They breed sus-picion and also can ruin us econom-ically."

Mark Kirchner,lead-off runner for the Tech relayteam, put up a tough fight in thescramble for the lead, but was ableto offer Oscar Noss the baton withonly ninth place secured. A three-way race now developed betweenTufts, Seton Hall, and MILT. foreighth place. Noss was able to holdninth, while Hank Henze ran un-expectantly well and moved in tothe eighth spot. Douglas Vitaglianoran away from Tufts and SetonHall but had too much a handicapto be able to catch the top-flightteams, and the relay team finishedeighth. Of the New England colleges,only the Rhode Island quartet withseventh place beat the Engineers,while Tufts and Yale saw them-selves beaten.

This Saturday the mile relayteam of Robert Baldwin, JamesPrigoff, Harold Ingraham, andDouglas Vitagliano are competingin the New York Knights of Colum-bus games in the Madison SquareGarden. This will be the last ap-pearance of Tech's track team inNew York this season.

LACROSSE PRACTICE

Against 4 Losses.Led by Ed Thompson and Jac]

Clifford, Tech's hockey team swepthrough its finale with Tufts, 7-3on Wednesday night at the Arenato round out one of the most successful seasons in M.I.T. hockedhistory. The win not only placesthe squad in third place in theNew England Intercollegiate HockeLeague with a 5-4 record buThompson and Clifford, each o:whom scored 3 goals and 2 assistzin the game, again proved them-selves to be two of the finestplayers in the league-well deserv-ing to share the co-captaincy olnext year's team.

From the starting whistle theTech sextet outskated a tired bulgame Tufts six, and within a fewminutes Thompson and Cliffordcombined for a goal, Clifford scor-ing. Then after Tufts had tied itup, Clifford again scored to givethe Beavers a 2-1 edge going intoDthe second period. Tufts tied itup in the first minutes of the period,but -from then on it was all Techin both the Splaying and scoring.

Charlie Siefert started the bar-rage with one of the most spec-tacular angle shots seen this year.Then Clifford passed the puck toThompson who 'blasted it past theTufts goalie. In the last period itwas Thompson to Clifford, Thomp-son unassisted, and Clifford toThompson before the red lightstopped blinking. The one-two com-bination that has scored 75% of theBeaver tallies could not be stopped,and Tufts went down, fighting, butoutclassed.

The Tech aggregation has notplayed with such excellence andspirit during the entire season, andfor the first time almost the com-plete team was at the game. GoalieJack Adams finished the seasonwith -one of his best games, whileTed Madden again showed theability that has made the Adams-Madden combination one of thebest defenses in the league. Tsotsi,Buradkin anid Willard on defense;Lombard, McKim, Walworth, Row,Nolan, and Tenney on the offensealso -played a fline game.

Lose to B.C., 8-4M.I.T. dominated the third period

4-2, but B.C. was too strong forthe Beavers as they downed theTech sextet by an 8-4 count lastTuesday night at the Arena, in thenext-to-last game of Ithe season.Repeating the stages of the B.U.defeat, the 1pucksters found them-selves unable to overcome the early6-0 lead taken by B.C., with the twinscores in the last period by EdThompson and Charlie Siefertbeing to no avail. Outplaying theTechmen for two of the three,periods, the superior B.C. squadhanded their coach, Snooks Kelley,his l00th hockey victory while atthe Heights.

Coach Ben Martin and man-ager Phil Macht have issued acall for all those interested inLacrosse to attend the dailypractice sessions at Briggs Field.Practice is held each afternoonat 4:00 PM. Coach Martinstresses the fact that there isan opportunity for anyone tomake the team, and that pre-

inous experience is not of primeimportance.

Big Charlie Siefert tallies the Beavers' third score in the B.C. game.Behind 6-0 at the start of the last period, Siefert and ThLompson com-bined with two goals apiece to give Tech 4 points, against B§.C.9s 8.Thompson, co-captain along with Clifford of next year's team, seems to

be getting a big kick out of Siefert's score.

B. K. VolleyballIn the first week of Beaver Key

Volley Ball competition nine teamshave advanced to Round two inthe winners' league, leaving theirdefeated opponents the opportunityto enter a consolation league. Thisis the first time the Beaver Keyhas sponsored such a plan whichwill give the teams more of achance than a straight eliminationas in previous years.

On Monday, March 3, SeniorHouse A won a forfeit from LambdaChi Alpha; Phi Delta Theta de-feated Building 22XC, 15-12, 12-15,15-12; and the 5:15 Club conqueredDelta Kappa Lpsilon, 15-13, 15-10.Tuesday, Mdarch 4, saw the LenoxClub forfeit to Theta Chi, PhiKappa, Sigma rolled over Phi SigmnaKappa 15-12, 15-6; and Chi Phicame through with a close victoryover Beta Theta Pi, 15-5, 10-15,16-14.

Wednesday, Marc~h 5, saw Haydenaccept a forfeit from Sigma AlphaMu; Wood receive a resoundingthrashing 15-3, 15 -9 from PhiKappa; and the Senior House Acome from behind to defeat PhiMu Delta, 12-15, 15-12, 15-7.

As strange as it may seem to themany Coarse T1T men who spendtheir time in the basement ofWalker Memorial trying to beat thepin ball machine, one of the mostpopular facilities at Walke~r is thebowling alleys-under the genialsupervision of Ed Pung. With the

,alleys open daily from 11:0 RAM.t to 9 :00 P. M. and until 3 :00 iPM.Xon Saturday, there is little free time

tfor the pin boys.Ed Pung estimates that about 150

,strings of king pins, and 130 stringsof candle pins are bowled daily.

tThe prices per string of 25c. and15c., respectively, are below Bos-

tton's prevailing prices. For mnid-Iwesterners accustomed to the kingpins, the Walker Alleys offer one

.of the few places equipped for the,big balls and shorter pins.

kWith six alleys available, at pres-ent four are used during the dayrfor candle pins, when the local

.crowd does the bawling, with four!alleys being reserved in the evenings,for king pins. Two leagues sharethe alleys during weekday nights-

,the large total of king pin stringsbeing rolled by the eight teams inthe Faculty League and by twelvein the Dorm League.

The daytime bowling hits its peakduring the noon hours when themembers of the 5:15 Club come infor their daily round of "stickers."This is bowling on a "loser pays all"basis. Besides the actual bowlingitself, the noon's activities consistin the finding of a "fish" -thisbeing the polite name for a sucker.The common variety of "Sfish"' forthe most part being a mid-westerner who proud of his bowlingachievements with king pins iseager to try his hand with thesmaller balls. There is one specialtype of "fish," often described as a"kingfish"~-which naturally refersto someone who has bowled withthe "boys" before, yet who comesback for more. The chief requisitefor a kingfish being an unlimitedsupply of money.

The afternoon gang's average issomewhere around 90, with thehigher scores being turned in byHal Ingrahamn, Joe Casey, NickYannoni, Tom Higgins, and SonnyMonosson. Ed Pung scoffs at their

averages, pointing to the alley can-dle pin record of 181, with the nextscores being two at 167 each. Theking pin record for the alleys is 237.

Skirts and slacks are not verymuch in evidence during the dayon the Walker Alleys, but theFaculty Bowling League boasts ofwomen members. It may be re-ported (in the unraised eyebrowsdepartment) that at present theDorm Bowling League has notshown outward evidence of femalemembers.

The Faculty Bowling League, ifscouting for a female "ringer,"might make inquiries of frosh co-edNatalie Adelman. Said female hav-ing caused the afternoon cande pinbowlers no end of consternation asshe neatly scored an 83, which wassufficient to win over her male com-panion. She then proceeded to taketwo of three strings - with thecandle pinners vowing in the futurenever to select any mermaids.

Tech Relay Team IsEighth In Field Of 13,Fail To Score A Point

The 3C4A championship held inMadison Square Garden last Satur-day, March 1, produced many out-standinig performances that indi-cate a great future for the UnitedStates' Olympic team of 1948. Thevictor of the meet was N.Y.U. with35 ,points, while Manhattan tallied30 for second place. For the firsttime in several years M.I.T. failedto score a point.

Harold Ingraham, Beaver runner,had the luck of being matched withthree of the finalists in his heat ofthe 660-yard competition. Ingrahamgot off to a slow start and was inthe six-man heat for the first halfof the race. He then started hisfamous kick and just missed catch-ing Sousa of Georgetown at the tapefor third place and a place in thesemifinals. However, eien if In-graham had been able to reach thesemifinal, the many outstandingrunners in this event would prob-ably have proven too much forTech's middle distance ace.

I: An incident occurred Wednesda3night at the Boston Arena, sceneof the M.I.T.-Tufts hockey gamewhich probably will never be pub-licized for the same reasons it wasallowed to happen. It serves toillustrate many points that thispaper has been calling attention toin the past; and likewise, to showthe present place of the Institutein those sports which have as yetno "professionalized" character.That the dispute arose betweenHarvard and M.I.T., institutions ofhigh esteem in the educational fteld,and yet as diametrically opposed inathletic policy as their similar objec-tives would permit, was inevitable.

Twco matches were scheduled,Harvard-Williams and M.I.T.-Tufts.John Chase, Harvard's mentor,wanted his game played straightthrough, out of line with the Arenapolicy of alternating periods fordouble headers. To secure thispoint, an undergraduate managerwas sent to Paul Brown, manager,of the Arena, one day before thegame, only to obtain the reply thatthe coaches- of the other gamewould be allowed to decide. Neithercoach was consulted until the nightbefore, and then both were em-phatically against Chase's plan.And yet, while Harvard was playingits first period against Williams,Chase, not having consulted eithercoach as yet, was still convincedthat his game would go straightthrough. Only when the players ofM.I.T. and Tufts took the ice be-fore the retiring teams could getset, did the previously unlimitedconfidence of Harvard seem shaken.The dispute that arose, thereafter,as to whether or not Harvard andWilliams would at least be allowedto play their last two periodsstraight through (which they were),is unimportant. The significantpoint came when Paul Brown askedthe M.I.T. manager to allow Har-vard to finish without dispute, sincehe feared the repercussions fromChase should the Crimson be de-layed. Evidently he had felt theserepercussions before. The undaunt-able Mr. Chase got his way. AllM.I.T. could get was new ice at ten-thirty to conclude the game.

Why is this whole dispute worthmentioning? That Paul Brown wasconveniently not on hand, until theHarvard sextet was on the ice isnot important; that Johnny Chasefelt condescending in allowingM.I.T. to play a doubleheader onice time that he claimed Harvardhad reserved for three weeks (Notwithstanding the fact that theM. I. T. contest had been scheduledfor three months) is unimportant;that Harvard acted with its custom-ary attitude toward Boston collegesthat it had in the past, that it re-fused to compromise, is not impor-tant; that the Boston Arena re-spects Harvard's account far morethan Tech's, is not important; thatM. I. T. acting as a college sponsorsing participants in intercollegiateathletics could muster no respect isimportant. How are the playerssupposed to feel when they see anadministration. acting without co-ordination, letting them get thepoor end of situations consistently?

Here, again, we are faced withthe shortcomings of the presentsystem. An Athletic Director andthe prestige which will go with theposition and the man who fills it,was the thing needed to back upthe hockey teamn's manager andcoach on Wednesday at the Arena.

TechfRifle`^'T-aln

With 18 Wina..Teamft Plans To EnterNati6nal- CollegiateMatches'On 'Marchi 29

There are few -athletes at Techwho iRay against teams. as far awayas Colorado State and the iUni-versity-of Arizona, but members ofthe N.I.T. Rifle Team managed toplay both of these teams, and manyothers this term, without so muchas missing -a class. The explanationis simple: most inter-collegiate riflematches are conducted by mail ortelegraph. Tech's marksmen havealready -won eighteen matches thisyear while losing but eight, and theteam has seldom travelled outsideof New England.

Besides a varsity rifle team, theInstitute also supports a freshmanrifle team, a varsity pistol team, andan R.O.T.C. rifle team, all of whichparticipate in intercollegiate com-petition. The rifle teams, under thetutelage of Sergeant Frey of theMilitaryS cience 'department, havebeen very successful during thelast two seasons. The R.O.T.C. ag-gregation took first place in theinter-collegiate competition for theFirst Army Area last year, andplaced second nationally in com-petition for the Hearst Trophy. Thisyear the varsity riflemen are insecond place in the New EnglandLeague, bowing only to the unde-feated Coast Guard Academy. Techhas high hopes for the comingNational Collegiate matches, theWorld Series of collegiate shooting,which will be played March 29th.

Any member of the undergrad-uate body is eligible for the M.I.T.Rifle Team, the present eleven-mansquad having been chosen by elim-ination from the ninety men whocame out for the sport in Septem-ber. High man on the squad at thepresent time is Stan Smock, '48,who has averaged 274 points out ofa possible 300 during 15 weeks ofcompetition. Rounding out the firstfive men on the squad are GeorgeD:undon, with an average of 271;Charles Stewart, 268; Watt W.Webb, 267; and Charles K. Holmes,Jr., 266.

The present season will end withthe Intercollegiate competition onMarch 29th, and the Techmen arealmost certain to finish second inthe New England competition. Withbut one more league match to beplayed, third-place Yale cannotovertake the Beavers, and theCoast Guard team has first placepractically clinched by virtue of itsundefeated season.

Outing Club PlansW eeke nd Activities

Several activities have beenplanmed by the Outing Club for theweekend of March 7. A group of 10men from the Institute have beeninvited by Tufts for a ski trip totheir cabin near Plymouth, N. H.

In an effort to get acquaintedwith nearby clubs, Boston Univer-sity's newly-formed Outing Club hasinvited groups from several nearbyschools, including Technology, toSargent Caanp The camp is locatednear Petersboro, N. H., and has ex-cellent facilities for skiing and skat-in.

A square dance is being held atthe Charles Hayden Memorial Fri-day evening, at eight, to whichinterested students are welcome. ;Those interested in the activitiestfor this weekend may obtain full information at the Outing Club -office, now located at Building 20E-t003.

Tech WrestlersDefeat Brown

'Hold N. E. TournamentOn March 14 At Tufts

Brown University became the sec-ond-victim of the Beaver wrestlingsquad on Saturday, February 22, bya decisive score of 19 to 11 atProvidence. In the last individualcollege competition of the belatedseason, Joe Deptula tallied fivepoints for the victors with a fall inthe 121-lb. class, while teammateWalt Masnik overwhelmed his op-ponent in the unlimited weightclass. Wilbur Haggerty, the onlyfreshman on the varsity team, WhitMakuy, and Leo Ackerman earneddecisions in the clean, well-refereedcompetition.

On March 14 and March 15, Techwill engage an eight-man team inthe New England IntercollegiateWrestling Tournament to be heldthis year at Tufts' Cousens Gym-nasium. All the major schools inNew England will participate inthis competition. The Beavers willalso enter the NX;AA.U. individualmatches on March 29, when theQuincy Y.M.CA. will play host tothe New England colleges.

orchestra where he met Artie Shawand began a lasting friendship.

Claude left Wylie to becomearranger for Hal Kemp and fol-lowd this with arranging -work forBenny Goodman, Bing Crosby, RayNoble, and others. In January, 1940,he formed his own band with adebut at the Hotel Pennsylvania inNew Yorkr.

In October 1942, Claude enlistedin the Navy as an apprentice sea-man. When Artie Shaw was trans-ferred to a new post, the Navyplaced Thornhill as the leader ofThe Rangers, the Navy's musicalaggregation. The band toured thePacific Theater twice in a~n All-Navy show with Dennis Day (JackBenny's singer), Tommy Riggs, andJackie Cooper, playing at everyisland but Japan itself. Thornhillcame away from the Navy a chiefmusician with a citation fromAdmiral Nimitz, a commendation

band recruited from his Navy show.Claude's longhair background led

him to incorporate two French-horns in the brass section, an in-novation in a dance band. He alsohas four trumpets, two trombonesfour rhythm, and five men doublingon sax and clarinet. He himself playsthe piano and -does the arranging.The band also features two vccal-ists, Buddy Hughes and FranWarren (see picture, if you haven'talready.)

Thornhill was born in Terra Haute,Indiana, and started studying musicat four. At six he was considered aprodigy, having given his firstrecital. He also organized his firstbvand at that age, an eight pieceaffair to play at parties. Anyway,Claude was smart; he didn't becomean electrical engineer.

Freshmen AddALL-TECH WRESTLINGTwo New MarksIn 43 23 Win

Shattering four records, theTechnology swimming team rolledto a 55-20 triumph over the U. S.Coast Guard tankmen at New Lon-don, Conn., last Saturday after-noon. The previous evening a strongUniversity of Connecticut contin-gent had turned the tables on theTechmen to win 51-24 and set fourrecords of its own.

Riding the crest of anotherrecord-busting wave, the M.I.T.Frosh swimmers established twonew marks Wednesday afternoonin defeating Moses Brown 43-23 atAlumni Pool.

Leqpard Sets Two MarksCaptain Jim Leonard proved the

ace record breaker in the CoastGuard meet, as he rocketed to vic-tories and new records in the 60and 100-yard freestyles. Leonard'stime for the 60 was 29.7 seconds,while in the 100-yard swmheestablished the record mark of 55.5seconds.

John Searle laid low another free-style time as he churned throughthe 220-yard distance to finish in2 minutes, 24.1 seconds. Still an-other mark fell bfore the out-classed Coast Guard, as Technol-ogy's 440-yard relay team of GeorgeLoomis, Ted Thomas, EmersonCallahan, and John Searle turnedin a time of 3 minutes, 51.3 secondsfor the quarter-mfle swim.

Pelletier Stars for FroshIn the freshmen-Moses ll3own

meet, Bob Pelletier set a time of1 minute, 9.4 seconds for the 100-yard breaststroke to undercut theold mark of 1: 10Q.0 which he himselfhad established in a meet withHuntington School on February 14.A second record succumbed tofreshmen potency as the 200-yardrelay team of Carl Mellin, FrankConlin, Bob SMeisel, and Bob Edgarsmashed their own mark of 1:43.7with a record time of 1 minute, 413seconds. The old relay record, asPelletier's breaststroke mark, hadbeen set in the Huntington meetof February 14.

same reason I do not advocate asubsistence increase in the 'single'and 'married-no children' groupsnow-namely, to discourage the'gravy-trainers.' "

Question 3.--Do you think singlemen and women should receivemore than $65 a month? Answer:Yes,- 54%; No, 46%.

Question 4.-Do you think mar-ried men without children shouldreceive more than $90 a month?Answer: Yes, 56%; No, 44%.

Although a majority of thosesubmitting questionnaires favoredthis proposal, the comment whichwas most often made in this con-nection was that the student should|either remain single until he grad-uated, or that if he married, hiswife should work; in which casehis subsistence should not greatlyexceed that of a single man.

Question 5.-Do you think mar-ried men with children Should re-ceive more than $90 a month? An-swer: Yes, 83%; No, 17%.

A professsor of economics re-marked:

"As an older man, affected chieflyby the taxes which these expensesimpose, I find that I would ratherspend my income on my own son.On more general grounds, however,I think that any further increasesof government expenditures wouldbe unwise at this time."

1200 Students FavorRaises For Married Men

Approximately 1200 question-

naires were submitted by Tech

students and faculty members inthe recent poll conducted by the

Veterans' Association. Here are the

results:

Question 1.- Do you favor a

plan for extending the educational

benefits of the GI Bill of Rights toall men and women on a basis of

scholastic proficiency? Answer: Yes, |

53%; No, 47%. |

The support for this proposal wassurprising in view of the fact thatit has not been very widely dis-cussed. It is probable that supportfor such a plan would be much}weaker among the general popula-tion than it is among teachers andstudents; so it should not be con-cluded that the governmenlt is goingto embark on an educational pro-gram of this type in the nearfuture.

Question 2-e-Do you think thatthe igovernment should pay all ofthe subsistence expenses of menunder such a bill? Answer: Yes,31%; No, 69%.

The general feeling on this ques-tion seems to be expressed in thiscomment, which was made by astudent: "I would favor a subsist-ence allowance somewhat under acomfortable living wage for the.1

XI Technically poor pictures cannot be usedThe Photo at the left may be interesting, but it is so fuzzy and solacking in contrast that the rotogravure reproduction of it would makeit unintelligible. Photos should be sharp, contrasty glossies at least

.3x5 in size. No negatives, metal engravings, or newspaper clippingsmay be used.

a Avoid posed, uninteresting photosJoe Glotz, pictured at the right, may be a big wheel on his owncampus, but the obviously posed picture is not interesting.
