Five series of lectures in modenphysics will be offered at the Insti-tute from July 10 to August 18 forgraduate students, college and highschool physics teachers. Research,recreational, and living accommo-dations will be available for thoseinterested in attending.

Professor P. Scherrer, Zurich, willlecture on experimental atomicphysics and Professor E. Amaldi ofthe University of Rome will lectureon nuclear physics. Institute Pro-fessor V. F. Weisskopf will lead acourse in the theory of nuclear re-actions; P. M. Morse in special rela-tivity; and J. R. Zacharias in radio-frequency spectroscopy of atomsand molecules.

Tuition for the six-week course

/h se IEAectrongi Age"To Be Weners TopicInLeturleOnMonday

Norbert Wiener, Technology'swell-known professor of mathema-tics, and author of Cybernetics, willgive a lecture entitled "The Elec-tronic Age" on Monday, May 8, at5:00 p.m. in Room 10-250. The talk,sponsored by Lecture Series Corm-mittee, will be concerned with thepossibility of automatic operationof factories, and the social effectsof such a revolutionary change.

Since in an automatic factory ac-counting as well as supervision andoperation may be done by electronicdevices, the only useful functionsthat humans would have would bemaintenance and engineering. Eventhese jobs could be greatly simpli-fled. The consequent unemploymentand social change may be the out-standing problem of an automaticfuture. 0

In a forthcoming book, TheHuman Use of Human Beings, Pro-fessor Wiener discusses this ques-tion more deeply.

Seniors To Orent FroshAnd Promote ScholarshipUnder New Advisor Pan

Next year's Freshman Dormi-tories will introduce a Senior Ad-visor Plan designed to ,benefit boththe Freshmen and the Seniors. Theplan presents opportunities for se-niors to be of service to the Insti-tute and at the same time receivefinancial remuneration.

Those who qualify for the ,posi-tion of advisor will live in the dorm-itories and will have definite re-sponsibilities, according to Dean ofStudents Everett M. Baker.

Will Answer Quesflions

They will be expected to act as afriend to the freshmen living on theadvisor's floor, and answer ques-tions concerning the Institute, Bos-ton, and other schools. Advisorswill also be expected to stimulateinitiative. among the ,freshmen tomeet their instructors at conferencehours and seek help on questionsabout their work.

The',advisors will not be expectedto schedule regular hours for con-ference periods, but attendance atFreshman Weekend and a monthlymeeting in the Dean of StudentsofFice is requested. The presence ofadvisors in .the freshman dormi-tories is expected to be a, good in-iluence in maintaining an atmos-phere of orderliness and girup self-discipline.

will be $100, but Technology grad-uate students enrolled in the sum-mer session will be admitted free.No academic credit for the courseswill be given. Further informationand application blanks may be ac-quired from Profes-sor John C.Slater, Department of Physics,Room 6-113.

Nuclear MachinesWill Be Dis"layedOc}pen Hoase Day

The "laimp -that isn't there" ex-periment will highlight Physics De-partment exhibits at this year'sOpen House, to -be held on Saturday,May 13.

Through the use of a tricky opti-cal system, a person approachingfrom a particular direction seemsto observe a lamp 'burning in asocket. The bulb is actuallymounted underneath the system,and when the visitor passes by, theillusion vanishes and 'he seesnothing but an empty socket.Course VIII undergraduates willexplain the phenomenon to puzzledonlookers.

Lipsticks W11 Be AnalyzedAnother Physics exhibit will con-

sist of a spectrophotometer whichis used to analyze the color contentof women's lipsticks. Female visi-tors will thus be able to obtain afree lipstick analysis. Other exhibitsinvolve ultraviolet radiation andpolarized light.

All of the Institute's nuclear ma-chines will be open for inspection,although they will probably not beoperating. Visitors will have an op-portunity to observe the cyclotron,the new 30) m.e.v. synchrotron, thelinear accelerator, and varioushigh-voltage generators. All will beexplained .by members of the Lab-oratory for "Nuclear Science andEngineering.

Acoustics Lab Features NoiseThe Acoustics Laboratory wiil

also be open to the public. Visitorswill be showm an "anechoic" chamn-ber, with a bank of 256 loudspeakersforcing sound through a panel intoa "soundproof" room. A microphonein a water-filled tank will operatea loudspeaker to demonstrate un-derwater sound conduction.

A directional microphone, pick-ing up sound only from a preferreddirection, will be demonstrated foronlookers. Other exhibits includean experimental acoustic studio, anultrasonic generator, and acousticalbaffling.

M.I.T.'s "Dinner Music Society ofUpper Beacon Street" will mark itsfourth month of successful opera-tion with a radio broadcast fromthe stage of the Savoy, Boston jazzcenter. The broadcast, from 4:0)0to 4:30 p.m. this Sunday on stationrWTAO, will 'be -part of a three- to

Action is being taken to seethat only Institute personneluse existing parking lots, butno immediate solution for thelack of parking space forhundreds of Institute cars isin sight. Recently aggravated bythe installation of the parkingmeters on Memorial Drive, the fa-cilities will receive another blowwhen construction on the new Biol-ogy and Food Technology Buildingis begun.

According to Malcolm G. Kispert,Administrative Assistant ,to thePresident, the policy next fall willbe to issue stickers to Technologymen for the use of the west endparking lot near Briggs field. Policewill be hired to see that only carswith stickers use the grounds. Thesmall area next to the Armory willprobably be left open for those un-able to get a reservation.

Institute Committee ProtestsThis procedure vwas worked out by

the Administrative Council, andhas the support of the faculty corn- -mittee on parking, headed by Pro.,lessor Samuel H. Caldwell of theDepartment of Electrical Engineer-ing. Both connittees realize that'most students will be unable to af-ford the forty cents per day parkingmeter charge on Memorial Drive,but the Institute was powerless toprevent their installation.

Institute Conunittee has sent aletter to the Metropolitan DistrictCommission protesting the decision.A petition sponsored by the 5: 15Club, with over seven hundred sig-natures, has been enclosed with themessage. Inst. Conm. will be readyshould the M.D.C. grant its requestfor a personal interview on thematter. A committee has been ap-pointed to prepare a case for theInstitute.

Not Enough Free LandEven should the M.D.C. ruling be

reversed, and the parking metersremoved, Technology will continueto have a serious parking problem.Nearly every college is in the samesituation; there are just too manycars and not enough free land.

aNemenSmashBoston Colkege 7-2IMonsalvgtge ins ifth Straight

Tech's tennis team swept to a de-cisive 7-2 victory over the Eaglesof B.C. last Tuesday afternoon onforeign courts. The Engineers weretriumphant for the third straighttime, having previously posted winsover R.P.I. and Bates.

The Beaver had relatively littletrouble shooting down the highfly-ing B. C. Eagle, as Coach Summer'scharges took five of the six sin-gles matches. Gerry Monsalvatge,playing in the number 1 spot, out-classed Ginty of B.C. as he won hisfifth straight match. He is unbeatenthis season. St. John Bain and Mor-ley Drucker extended their winningstreaks to four each,.while Bob Fur-man and Pete Ney, each of whomgot off to a slow start this year,seem to have hit their stride as theyclocked off their second consecutivewins.

After the Beavers had sewed upthe meet in the singles, and Mon-salvatge and Bain had teamed upto blast the Eagles in the number

one doubles, Coach Summers sub-stituted in the last two doublesmatches. Holden & Matthews camethrough with a win in their firstvarsity competition, thus matchingthe feat of Mar & Beckett who,after winning last Friday, werebeaten by Pierce and Chisholm ofB.C. in the most bitterly foughtmatch of the afternoon.

This afternoon the squad treksto Amherst to engage the Lord Jeffs,one of the most powerful teams inthe East. 'After this rugged test theBeavers return to Briggs Field toengage Worcester Polytechnic In-stitute.

The individual scoring was asfollows:

Singles: NMonsalvatge (MI'T) defeatedGinty (BC) 6-1, 6-4. Bain (MIT'1) defeatedSlaloney (BC) 6-3, 6-2. Drucker (MIT) de-feated Pierce (BC) 6-4, 6-0. Ney (SLIT)defeated Chisholmi (BC) 6-4, 6-0.

SUBSTANDARD

Freshmen soon learn that their course in Military 'Scienceis an inevitable part of their education here at Technology.

Although the great majority are not very happy about thehours they must spend on the drill fields and in map-readingclasses, they find that these things must be classified alongwith death and taxes if they want a degree from the Institute.Undoubtedly some of them have inquired around to find out justwhy a two-year term of R.O.T.C. training is compulsory here.Usually they find out that the Institute long ago got some landfrom the United States government under the-terms 'of theMorrill Act, which created the land-grant colleges and insti-tuted the M. S. courses in these schools. Casual investigations.-usually stop right here, since something that exists as a resultof an act of Congress and has been established for almostninety years presents a formidable impression of permanence.

The unwilling part-time soldiers do a lot of griping aboutthe Military Science courses to which they are subjected.They complain that the three hours consumed' by the courseevery week are a total waste of time, when time is preciousto students at Technology. The subject material of the courses,presented in the most infantile manner, is of virtually nointerest to a future scientist or engineer.- A knowledge ofhow to make out a morning report has no application in re-search, engineering, or -even in business, they complain. Ingeneral, the morale of the students Undergoing the compulsoryM. S. courses is rock bottom. Class lectures are often nothingmore than a joke, to students and instructor alike. The stand-ard of ethics involved in taking a quiz in one of these courseshas been a laughing matter for a long time. Even thosestudents who might get something out' of a good militarycourse fall into line with the predominant attitude, and soeveryone laughs about M. S.

It is unfortunate that such a condition should exist atTechnoJogy. If a compulsory Military Science program isto be maintained here, we feel that it ought to measure upto a higher standard than it does at present. The unit isevidently a comparatively good one, since blue stars are wornon the uniforms to indicate that the Army considers it up toscratch in comparison with the R.O.T.C. units of other schools.This may be so, but it certainly isn't up to scratch by thestandards of the Institute. There is a great deal to be gainedby improvement of the present situation. In addition to thebenefits which the student would incur, the advanced R.O.T.C.unit. here sadly needs the increased student respect whichit would get if our undergraduates were not poisoned to theentire R.O.T.C. program during their first two years.

The first step in the direction of general improvementshould begin with the administration of the Military Scienceprogram a's now exists here. With only a small effort it wouldbe possible to make the present courses at least acceptableto someone on the mental level of our freshmen and Sopho-mores. Simply by revising the present courses, which seemto have been designed for people of the mental level of highschool freshmen, to a slightly more sophisticated plane, woulddo a great deal. However, this in no way represents a com-plete or ultimate solution to the problem, and we shall discusssome of the more significant possibilities in the future.

Last January 10, a small, modifiedlight aircraft settled down onBriggs field. The plane larfded ina space of lessthan 100 feet. Thisweek we turn the spotlight on theInstitute personality responsible forthe development of this revolution-ary airplane.

Professor Otto C. Koppen is anexpert oil stability and control inaircraft He was graduated fromthe Institute in 1924 and has beenassociated with aeronautics in oneform or another throughout his en-tire professional career. Followinggraduation, he found employmnentwith Henry Ford, designing a per-sonal aircraft for the auto magnate.This plane later shattered the idis-tance flight record from Detroit toMiami, and is now exhibited in theFord Museum, Dearborn, Michigan.

After working for the NACA andFairchild Aircraft he joined thefaculty in 1929. His appointment tothe professorship followed soon.

busied himself with such projects asdeveloping, along with ProfessorNewell, the first cellulose-plasticairplane body. He gained experi-ence in small plane design when, in1935, he developed the "Family

Letters to the EditorEditors, The TechDear Sirs:

For many years the ,annual Em-bassy sponsored by the T.C.A. hasbeen the chief stimulus provided atM.I.T. toward serious religiousthinking. The Embassy speaker al-ways prompts discussion. This year,President Killian, speaking on "TheSearch for Virtue," will undoubt-edly be most provocative and en-lightening. I *do not know whatqualities of 'character and conducthe will describe as. virtuous, but Iam certain that what he will 'saywill inform our thinking and clarifyour ideas about. religion a'hd ourways of living.

Of almost equal importance willbe the discussion meetings that willfollow President Killian's addressin most fraternity houses and. indormitory groups. To these havebeen invited Faculty Members,Ministers, Priests -and Rab'bis-rmencompetent in the realm of religion.The opportunity to talk with themabout the problems of philosophy,religion and life that still vex men'sminds is one to be welcomed by allof us.

For information about discussiongroups call at the T.CA. office.

The T.C.A. has provided again arare privilege which should be en-joyed by a very large number ofour students and faculty.

Dixon Off to Shaky StartThe first inning looked like a

Tufts rout in the making, as Dixonallowed two hits and three walks tothe first five batsmen to face him.However, with two runs in, basesloaded and no one out, he started adouble play on a come-backer, andstruck lout Bennett to end theinning. Thereafter Dixie was tough,allowing only two hits over the nexteight innings.

Tech picked up one run in thesecond frame when Mike Johnsonsingled to right, stole second, andscored as first baseman Minot threwwildly to third base after havingmade a' nice play -to retire WarrenFenster. Dixon then singled, butthe rally was choked off when leftfielder Fobert made a nice shoe-strinrg catch on Ronnie Thompson'sbid for a ,double. -
