A Peace Corps team fromWashington, D.C. will be visitingMIT on February 7-13.

This team, which will includereturned volunteers, will be avail-able to explain the purpose, pro.grams and future plans of thePeace Corps and to accept ap-plications from interested juniors,seniors and graduate students.

An Information Center will beset up by the representatives,who will be working in conjunc-ticn with Alpha Phi Omega, andwill be located in the PlacementCenter.

Members of the team will behappy to speak and answer ques-lions at clubs or living groupswithin the MIT community, ardanyone wishing to make arrange-ments to this effect may get intouch with Thomas W. Harring-ten, Jr. in the' Student Place-ment Office (E19-455).

Non-competitive aptitude testswill be given several times mdailyto applicants, and optional lang-uage achievement tests in Span-ish and French will also be ad-ministered.

Before the above tests may betaken, a Peace Corps question-nalire must be completed andsubmitted to one of the membersof the Peace Corps team. Theseforms are available at most PostOffices and may also be obtainedfrom Mr. Harrington.

Training programs for theCorps, which now includes nearly10,000 volunteers both overseasand in training, begin in almostevery month of the year, andthose who apply during theteam's visit to MIT will be in-formed of their status within twomnonths.

Dr. Philip Franklin, retiredprofessor of mathematics and for-mer Secretary of the F a c u l t ydied January 27 at the Massa-chusetts General Hospital.

Professor Franklin, who hadbeen'hospitalized since January8, was recovering from surgeryat the hospital when he died un-expectedly. He was 66.

Professor Franklin officially re-tired in June, 1964, after teachingmathematics at MIT for 40 years.He had continued to conductclasses on a part time basis sincethen.

As Secretary of the Faculty forthe five years before his retire-ment, Professor Franklin servedas chairman of the Institute'sCommittee on Academic Perform-ance. His colleagues on the com-mittee presented him with an en-graved silver bowl describing himas an "anonymous friend of stu-dents over many years." At thattime, President Stratton paid trib-ute to him as a teacher "who hasdevoted himself with special dis-tinction to the welfare of studentsand to the process of teaching."

$36,000 as a part of the. Du PontCompany's annual program ofaid to education and basic re-search.

Professor Franklin dies-the City College of New York in1918. In 1943, CCNY awarded himits Townsend Harris Medal for thealumnus who achieved notablepostgraduate distinction. He re-ceived the master of arts degreein 1920 and the doctor of philos-ophy degree in 1921 from Prince-ton University.

After teaching for one year atPrinceton and two years at Har-vard, Dr. Franklin joined the MITDepartment of Mathematics in1924. He was made assistant pro-fessor in 1925, associate profes-sor in 1930 and full professor in1937.

Professor Franklin was man-aging editor of the MIT 'Journalof Mathematics and Physics' from1929 to 1945 and an editor sincethen. He was the author of some60 research papers in the fields ofgeometry, topology and analysisand the author of seven books,including 'Methods of AdvancedCalculus' (1944) and 'CompactCalculus' (1963). Three of hisbooks were used as texts for MITcourses.

A memorial service was heldSunday, January 31, at the MITChapel in honor of ProfessorFranklin.

A specially called session ofthe Activities Coun-il met in theBlue Room of Walker on theThursday evening of reading per-icd to consider problems causedby the publication of the JanuaryiLeue of VooDoo.

After approximately two andcne-half hours of debate and dis-cussion, a motion proposed byRusty Epps '66, chairman, passedwithout dissension.

The VooDoo staff was requiredto prepare a statement of phil-csophy and a plan that wouldenable the staff to avoid pubica-tion of material that might pro-voke a response similar to thatcaused by the "Gayboy" issue.

The statement will be presentedby the VooDoo staff at a regularmeeting of the Council tomorrownight.

It was announced that all avail-able copies of the issue werewithdrawn from newstands inHarvard Square and at North-eastern University on the Tues-day following publicaton day, atI - I . I

Last year's second term courseswith enrollments of over 50 stu-dents have been classified bypercentage of failing grades (E,F. or O).

Those courses which flunked9- 11% of the enrolled memberswere 5.42, 8.72, 18.10 and 18.20.

Courses which handed out fail-ing grades to between 6 and 8%of their members included 2.401,5.02, 5.62 -and 6.07.

Also included in the 6-8%bracket were 8.04, 18.02 and 18.04.

Three to five per cent of theenrolled students did not pass in2.02 T, 2.403, 5.14, 6.06, 6.27J,6.41.

Also included in this group were8.02, 8.041, 8.07, 14.01, 16.20T, and18.03.

Students were treated similarlyby the Institute in 18.06, 18.15,18.22, 21.04, 21.11 and 21.68.

Of those registered for 1:15,2.101, 2.671, 2.672, 5.142, and 6.02,0-2% did not receive credit.

The Institute did not pass thesame percentage in 6.05, 6.08,6.14, 6.25T, 6.251, and 6.342.

A similar percentage failed6.44, 6.70, 6.72, 7.02T, 8.053 and8.06.

Also included in this bracketwere 8.10, 10.13, 10.31, 14.004,14.02, 14.51, 14.70, 14.71, and 14.77.

Zero to two per cent also failedin 14.84, 14.91, 15.01, 16.62, 18.05,21.54, 21.80, 21.91, and 23.12.

Eight per cent of the freshman-class was disqualified or put onprobation last spring while 10%of the freshmen were so treatedin 1962-63 .and 8% in 61 - 62.

Nine per cent of the sophomoreswere either disqualified or placedon probation, as compared with10% for 162 - 63 and 9% in 1961-62.

The junior class had 6% of itsmembers disqualified or put onprobation last spring while only4% of the juniors were so treatedthe year before and 8% in 1961-62.

The seniors had the lowest cas-ualty rate last spring as 3% oftheir members were placed onprobation or disqualified. One percent of seniors received similartreatment in 1962- 63 and 2% in1961.- 62.

Class elections--may the best men winThe coming class elections March 2

will be of special interest; they will offera test of the advantages of class govern-

. ment reorganization. Hopefully this- year's elections will set a precedent of6 high-quality candidates.>_ The new plan calls for replacement of6 the vice-president and secretary-treasur-D er of each class by a class committee; the

A change was intended to insure that the"' best men will be in office. Some opponents>- of the change claim that the committeea will not be as attractive as the titled po-' sitions; this election will determine theZo validity of their claims.

The change was proposed on the as-sumption that capable people in officewill receive due credit, regardless of title;the chances for achievement in the corn-

O mittee should be unchanged, or even im-- proved. A voter well informed about the'" accomplishments of student government- will be accordingly influenced in subse-

quent elections.The big decision for candidates will

be whether or not to run for the presi-dency. As previously, this will requiresome judgement of voter appeal. But thebig test for the committeeman will beduring his term of office, determiningwhether he has the talent to qualify himfor a higher post.

For the voter, the decision may beharder, especially in the junior class. Sixmen will be elected to the committee; thevoter should be aware of the capabilitiesof at least this many candidates when

Early declaration of candidacy willmake the voters' task easier, as well asimproving a candidate's chances. As peti-tions are filed, there should be indicationsof the success of the change.

With the new term comes a new vol-ume of The Tech, under new manage-ment with some new ideas. But we wishto remind our readers of the old and un-changing obligations we owe to them,and which we feel were so well handledby the old Board and staff.

As the official newspaper of the MITundergraduates, The Tech tries to pre-sent pertinent campus information asclearly, impartially, and promptly as pos-sible. We welcome any opportunity to as-sist rapid communication between admin-istration, student activities, and the un-dergraduate body.

It is our duty to report issues as wellas facts, and to comment on the news aswe see it. If others disagree with ouropinion, our pages remain open as a for-um for all who offer intelligent dissent.We also hope to continue printed discus-sion of campus topics by student leaders.

Our goal is to make the newspapernot only informative, but also interesting.The readers are the sole'judge of our suc-cess here; any corrections or suggestionswill be appreciated. New columns andfeatures will be tried in the near future,and reader reaction will be of great con-cern.

We will undoubtedly make errors,both in reporting and in judgement; weare glad to admit our mistakes if onlyour readers make the effort to point themout. We pledge our effort to make TheTech a truly representative publication;our achievement demands the interest ofthe student body.

SCC: what's aheadWe were happy to print the letter

on this page attacking our statementthat the Student Center Committeeshould be on the Executive Council, be-cause the letter presents many of thebest arguments against the proposed ac-tion. It is to everyone's advantage thatthe Student Center Committee be thor-oughly examined; a better public realiza-tion of the Committee's problems andstatus will make their task easier.

There is a certain amount of vague-ness about the committee, not only be-cause it is impossible to predict exactlywhat it will be called upon or allowed todo,- but also because the general revisionof student government hopes to betterdefine the relationship of the variouscommittees to Inscomm. No definiteplace can be assigned to the committeemntil this week's discussions are over.

But one fact is certain; the StudentCenter Committee handles many smallbut necessary details about which moststudents, even Inscomm members, do notknow or care to know. Like the manytechnical decisions of Finboard, thesedetails cannot be reviewed by Inscomm;like Finboard's work, the sum of manysmall matters is important.

It is a matter of opinion, then, what'position will give the committeemen clos-est connection, day to day, with studentgovernment leaders. After the definitionof committee structure is handled, theStudent Center Committee's futureshould be easier to determine.

Letters to The TechStudent Center

To the Editor:I wish first to congratulate The

Tech on ithe excellent job whichhas been done of covering the de-velopments in the student government reorganization in the pastfew weeks. It is very importantthat what is being proposed beunderstccfi by the MIT studentbcdy. Many of the decisions thatwill be made will have a pro-fc'und effect on undergraduate lifeat Tech, despite the fact thatthey seem on the surface ratherirrelevant to the activities of theavrzage tool.

There is one aspect of reor-ganization, however, which yourrecent editorial dismissed ratherquickly and easily, which involvesa great many more problems thanwere suggested. I feel that youragreement with the proposal toFc m a Student Center Committeeas an' administrative committeewith a seat on the ExecutiveCouncil shcws poor understandingcf both the Council and the Stu-dent Center. You do show appro-priate concern that a Student Cen-ter Committee might grow to con-trol a disproportionate share of"student government functions."Yet you advocate a system which

can only increase the danger ofsuch an eventuality.

First, it seems ludicrous to methat anyone should be so brazenas to propose as powerful a statusfor the Student Center Committeeas an Executive Concil seat wheneven the present, temporary Stu-dent Center Committee is unableto define clearly the functionswhich will be required of such acommittee. Providing a new or-ganization with greater status andmore power than it has beenshown to need is merely a wayto guarantee that it will growto exercise this power and status.This *is totally unaccephtable inthe case of the Student CenterCommittee.

More important, your editorialis concerned that Inscomm exer-cise the power of review to alarge extent with regard to the.Student Center and any admin-istering committee. When was thelast time that Inscomm revieweda Finboard or Secretariat deci-sion? It is the subcommitteeswhich come under the closestscrutiny of the Institute Commit-tee, not the members of the Ex-ecutive Council. The nature ofthis Council as an initiative bodyprecludes it from nearly as close

According to Mr. Austin,Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, "In past years registrants for thisCity Planning, Civil Engineering, series have come from industrialElectrical Engineering, Manage- companies, government agencies,ment, Mechanical Engineering, and research and educational in-

stitutions throughout this nationand overseas."

Dr. Julius A. Stratton, Presi-dent of the Institute, has stated,"The Summer Session at MIT hastwo principle objectives: one isto give qualified men and womenin industry, government and edu-cation opportunities to keep pacewith recent events and currenttrends in their own professionalfields; the other is to supplementour regular academic year withsubjects for students working fordegrees."

A limited number of SpecialSummer Program Scholarshipsare available to defray, in part,the Program tuition of membersof teaching staffs of other educa-tional institutions.

In addition to the Special Sum-mer Programs the 1965 SummerSession will include academicsubjects from the Institute's reg-ular academic program startingJune 21.

In view of these very pertinentfac:s, it seems clear to me thatany proposal to elevate the Stu-dent Center Committee above spe-cial or temporary status beforeit is clearer what its functionswill be, and which functions couldbest be administered by otherbranches of student gvoernmentalready extant, is both rash andpremature at this time. This sug-gestion is a gross error in judg-ment which The Tech should beashamed to support.

Conference topicTo the Editor:

I would like to reply to the "Let-ter to the Editor" written by Er-win Strauss which appeared inthe January 13 issue of The Tech.While Mr. Strauss's criticism ofThe Tech's editorial may be ac-cepted by one who is willing toseriously consider the possibilityof having a conference here atMIT, the tone and much of thecontent of his letter do not helpto clarify the situation.

The objections that Mr. Straussmakes seem to revolve aroundhis view that within the academicframework of MIT no topic ofsufficient importance can be foundto merit the expenditure and ef-fort that a conference would re-quire. However, as an observerof our troubled society, I can as-sure Mr. Strauss that there aremany contemporary p r o b I e m sabout which much can not onlybe said, but also be done. One of

the functions of a school such asMIT should be hte disseminationin a concise manner, of all thepertinent facts and scholarly view-points relating to these problemsto the interested student whowould attend such a conference.

It would have been informativefor Mr. Strauss if he had consult-ed with David Mundel, the chair-man of the conference planningcommittee, to find out what wasactually being proposed. Havingspoken with Mr. Mundel I can re-port that the committee seems tofavor a very crucial and laudablesubject for a conference, the prob-lems of our urban areas. This top-ic would presumably include suchessentials of urban life as publichousing, mass transportation, ed-ucation and defacto segregation,recreation, welfare programs,class unemployment, and the poli-tical process. Because of the rapidgrowth of American cities and theinability of our political leaders toplan their development, an inter-collegiate discussion on the futureof our urban centers would beboth a proper and desirableundertaking for the MIT studentbody.

New In.daa Insitue . Visiting Professorship announced;Indian management school described Karl Pfister honored bycopany

According to John M. Wynne,to associate dean of the Alfred P.-o Sloan School of Management, the- expansion of industry that- haso taken place in India since its

- independence has occasioned live->- ly interest in the techniques ofc industrial management Mr. Wynmn, who recently re-ae turned after 16 months in Cal-,U cutta, has been serving as 1MTu senior representative at the In->: dian Institute of Management,< Calcutta. The Indian Institute, aa new graduate school of manage-L ment, was established in 1961 byZt the government of India in col-LU laboration with the Ford Founda-

tion and the Sloan School.Although Indian industry has ad-

vanced rapidly during the pastdecade, its operations are not as

I complex as those of Western in-dustry. Nevertheless, Dean Wynnepoints out, the methods of re-

uj search and analysis which are'I applied to industrial problems in· large corporations in the United

States work just as well in tun-derstanding some of the difficul-'ties peculiar to Indian industry.MIT responds to Indian invitation

MIT's activity in managementeducation in India began in 1960in response to an invitation fromthe All India Management Asso-ciation for MIT to assist in ar-ranging seminars in advancedmanagement techniques for sen-ior executives. The seminars,which have been held each sum-mer since 1960, are designed toorient the participants to the new-er techniques of management. In1964 the Indian Institute of Man-agement assumed responsibilityfor the operation of this AdvancedManagement Program.

MIT was requested, in 1961, tohelp in the formation of the In-dian Institute of Management atCalcutta. Dean Wynne reportedthat the progress of the schoolhas been steady, with new typesof educational programs beingstarted as facilities become avail-able. With the admission of thefirst regular graduate students in1964, the Institute has becomecompletely operational.

One measure of the Indian In-stitute's success, Dean Wynnesaid, is the number of requestsit has received from both indus-try and government to undertakeresearch projects. Some projectsare carried out on a consultingbasis while others are conductedunder Indian Institute sponsorship.

One of the latter type is di-rected at determining the factorswhich lead to major labor-man-agement disputes. The study wasinstituted at the request of alarge company which suffered a

long strike. The Institute assumedsponsorship of the study mi orderto assure no bias toward eitherlabor or management.

In 1962 the Institute initiateda series of short-term courses forexecutives working in particularareas of management operations.These courses last from four tosix weeks and cover such topicsas marketing planning and opera-tions research. Three or four suchprograms have been held eachyear. The visiting MIT facultymembers and ithe Indian Insti-tute's own faculty participate inthem along with leaders fromgovernment and industry in thefied being investigated.Junior executive program initiated

As former director of the execu-tive development programs atMIT, Dean Wynne helped begina program which was started in1963 at the Indian Institute forjunior executives. Similar to theSloan Fellowship Program atMIT, it offers concentrated studyat the graduate level to youngmen who show promise of futuredevelopment. Students are youngmen -with several years of man-agement experience, nominatedfor admission by the companiescr agencies for which they work.

With expanded living accommo-dations available, the 1964 aca-demic year marked the beginningof the Indian Institute's regulartwo year graduate course. Fiftgraduate students have been en-rolled, and 80 are expected toenter this year. The Indian In-stitute will continue to expandcJer the next seven or eight yearsto a capacity enrollment of 600regular students and 150 executivestudents.

Warren G. Bennis, professor ofindustrial management at theSloan School, succeeds DeanWynne as MIT's senior repre-sentative at the Indian Institute.More than a dozen members ofthe Sloan School faculty. havetraveled to India at various timesto take part in the prgranms be-ing carried out there.

The Indian faculty and researchstaff have grown steadily and pro-vide a firm nucleus for the an-ticipated growth of the overallprogram. As the Indian facultycontinues to grow, MIT faculty.involvement will diminish, but theunderstanding of the Indian in-dustrial structure gained by theMIT vistors indicates a continu-ing ccperation between the twoschools.

You're looking at the intelligent product of one week'swork. (Some might be in your campus library.) They'retechnical bulletins written by some very talented scientistsand engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. JPL peoplewrite over 500 such documents each year. Documents withtitles like "Evaporation Effects on Materials in Space," and"Simple Guidance for Deep-Space Booster Vehicles."Pretty heady stuff.

But then designing spacecraft to reach the Moon and

planets is a pretty head-y assignment. And it takes a lot of

bright people to make it happen. Where do these bright

people come from? Better colleges and universities around

the country. Yours, for example. Why not sign up for an

· interview with a JPL man? Besides working at the most

fascinating job in the world, you'll also have lots of goodbooks to read.

You are high over the Potomac River just 12 milesfrom the White House... and viewing 186 acres

of extraordinary research activity

The Washington Circumferential Highway allows speedy ac-cess to best suburban communities in the District of Columbia,Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

® HYDROMECHANICS LABORATORY facilities Include this High-Speed Towing Basin almost 3/5 OF A MILE LONG, 50 feet wide,and 20 feet deep. This Laboratory is concerned with speed, sta-bility, control and seakeeping qualities of floating or submergednaval designs, and with fundamental naval hydrodynamics.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS LABORATORY facilities include thelatest, largest computer systems, and feature the LARC, theIBM 7090, and a 1401. This Is BuShips' primary computing fa-cility, working on engineering, research logistics, and numericalmethods. Work carried on here involves mathematic simulationof the life cycle of nuclear reactors; automatic calculation ofship lines; and applications of computers to management prob-lems.

( In this giant new Maneuvering and Seakeeping facility,both fixed and free-running models may be tested under anysea-state condition. You may also work with the High-SpeedPhenomena Division at Langley Field, Virginia.

® AERODYNAMICS LABORATORY facilities include severalwind tunnels-ranging from subsonic through hypersonic atMach 10-which are used to determine and improve static sta-bility, control and heat transfer characteristics of helicopters,VTOL's, supersonic aircraft, missiles, etc. Air flow studies alsoinvolve bomb design, bridge structures, aircraft turbulence whenapproaching carriers, and other government and private prob-lems.

® The unique STRUCTURAL MECHANICS LABORATORY facill-ties at Carderock are the new pressure tanks which permit thestudy, by means of large structural models, of the hull struc-tures for deep diving submarines and deep sea research vehiclesto reach all ocean depths. Additional Structural Mechanics Labo-ratory facilities are scattered throughout the 186 acres, andinclude a tridimensional Static-Load Frame, a Pentagonal Test

Pond, Explosion Pits, and a 600,000-Pound Universal TestingMachine. With these facilities, Laboratory scientists and engi-neers conduct studies aimed at improving the hull structureand increasing the resistance of the Navy's ships to enemy at-tack. This requires development of fundamental, theoretical ap-proaches of load and response, and development of engineeringsolutions based on the increased understanding. A substantialportion of the ship protection research is carried out at theUnderwater Explosions Research Division of this Laboratory lo-cated at Portsmouth, Virginia.

V The ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION LABORATORY was Justestablished to intensify research and development of ships ofimproved detection capability, and reduced vibrations and under-water sound output. Fundamental and applied research in hydro-dynamics, structural acoustics, mechanical vibrations, and signalprocessing are supplemented by conduct of acoustic and vibra-tion trials, and development of acoustic and vibration instru-mentation.

The OPERATIONS RESEARCH GROUP cannot be pinpointedas easily because it ranges over all the RDT&E activities at TheModel Basin- hydromechanics, structural mechanics, aerody-namics, and applied mathematics. Special applications todayare in the fields of naval architecture, ship silencing, ship pro-tection, and weapons effects . . .setting realistic performancegoals for ships and submarines in view of probable environ-mental factors . . .handling special externally-generated pro-jects that tie in with DTMB capabilities . . .and making recom-mendations to the Technical Director as to improving researchmethods and orientation.

To staff these five operating Laboratories, we are seek-ing college graduates with BS, MS, or PhD degrees inAerospace, Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical or Struc-tural Engineering; in Applied Mechanics, Mathematics,Physics, and Naval Architecture.

Of course, from this height you can't see much de-tail, which makes the imposing expanse of the two mainbuildings all the more intriguing. Perhaps you can guesstheir functions, but it's also what you can't see (andthis is summarized in the adjoining column) that makesthe David Taylor Model Basin a completely unique fun-damental and applied research organization - and aplace you should seriously consider for your careeras a professional scientist or engineer. As the Navy'sadvanced facility for research into submarine, surfaceship, aircraft and missile design concepts, the ModelBasin can offer the young graduate certain specificopportunities hard to find anywhere else.

1. Reachthe$10,000to$12,000 level WITHIN 4YEARS.2. Take Graduate courses for advance degree with Navy

help.3. Gain diversified RDT & E experience with the best

equipment and facilities of their kind.4. Work on research projects of recognized national im-

portance.5. Attain recognized professional stature sooner, at

which point a number of futures are available.

MIT graduate proposes electronicaids for preventing boxing accidents

By' David Vanderwerf

Cdollefe5¢#1es

Princeton rejects thought of coeds;Allen B. Chertoff '59 has pro-

posed a system whereby the con-dition of a boxer could be contin-uously monitored over a computerwhile he is in the ring.

According to Chertoff, a 28-year-old electronics and aerospace con-sultant, "The equipment nowexists to create an electronic sys-tern by which the physical condi-tion of a fighter could be moni-tored through the course of a fight,and the effectiveness of the blowshe strikes and sustains could bemeasured electronically."

Appalled by two bouts he saw inrecent years; the one is whichBenny (Kid) Paret was fatally in-jured and the other in which Son-ny Liston surrendered his crownwhile sitting on a stool, - Chertoffsuggested a system similar to thatused to chart physical reactions ofastronauts during space flights.

This system requires the fighterto swallow a device containing a

transducer which would transmitdata including metabolic changes,heart beat, pulse rate, blood pres-sure, and brain conditions to acentral computer. The fighterwould also wear gloves with trans-ducers buried in them to measurethe impact and effectiveness of hispunches.

Equipment such as this could beused to detect internal bleeding orminor cerebral strokes that mightend in tragedy. Such mircominia-ture devices would also be able totransmit data for judging a fight.

A computer would not be fooledby the sound of punches that areactually bouncing off arms, or bya fighter who loses his balanceafter actually slipping a punchthat seemed to hit him hard.

Such equipment might havesaved Paret, claimed Chertoff, bytransmitting data on his physicalcondition prior to the fatal injury.It could also have measured theimpact of the lefts Liston threwafter his arm was supposedly in-capacitated.

Whether or not the sport's ownsystem of self-policing will becalled into question by direct Fed-eral legislation may depend on thesuccess of this or other solutionsto the boxing problem.

LoCoeds may be a fixture at the

institute, but that's not the case-at other schools, as reported in theNew York Times. Princeton, saysthe Times, has again decided thatstudents will not benefit from thepresence of women in their class-es.

Coeducation at Princeton, a sub-ject which periodically comes upfor discussion, was brought upseveral months ago by the Prince-tonian, which editorialized on theadvantages of female faces in thePrinceton classroom. As before,the administration announced thatit was considering the problem,and as before, cane the announce-ment that it was not deemed ad-visable. And, adding to the woesof the Princeton males, a requestfor longer open house hours wasdenied.

Rodents in the room?Meanwhile, as Princeton males

request company in their rooms,females at the University of Louis-ville complained about unwantedvisitors in theirs. Although manycf the dormitory residents are un-awxvare cf the fact, reports theLouisville Cardinal, there aremice in the women's dormitory.

The girls who do know aboutthe mice have varying reactions.One expressed unconcern, but wasannoyed at the loss of acheese left on her desk. Another,taking defensive action, con-structed mouse traps in her airconditioner.

When asked to comment on thesituation, the Dean of Womencommented, "Mice are ever pres-ent when there is food around."Althcugh she did not feel thatenough were around to worryabout, the sentiments of manywere perhaps expressed by onegirl: "What is the rent rate inapartments near campus?"

The Smear TechniqueWhi'le women and mice occu-

pied the attention of some collegi-ates, the focus at Carleton Uni-versity, Ottawa, was on publica-tions, reports the Carleton.

Speaking at a judicial hearingon the banning of "The Thunder-b3lt," party newspaper of the Na-tional States Rights Party ofBirmingham, Alabama, an Ot-tawa publisher informed the as-sembly that he had b e en"smeared" by the Carleton.

uilsville ignores presence of mice rContending that "Communism University, according to a sur-

is Jewish," the publisher stated vey conducted by The Silhouette,that he had been libeled by aspecial "hate sheet" of the Carle-ton. He had said in his paper thatopposition to him at Carleton wasinspired by a Communist cell.

In testimony before the commit-tee, the publisher stated that "two

McMaster's student newspaper.In answer to the question "Do

you believe in religious tolera-tion?" fifty-five per cent of femaleprotestants answered "no." It wasalso discovered that female Prot-estants disagree with male Prot-

crew-cutted youths" had app- estants on almost all questions ofroached him for an interview be-fore the "hate sheet" appeared."They tried to trip me up onevery point," he said. The nexthe heard was when his doorbellwas rung and a hand thrust incopies of the issue dealing withhis paper.

Testifying in behalf of the lift-ing of the ban on mailing of therub!ication for "scurrilous anti-Jewish and racist material," hesaid that the paper had been boy-cotted by Jewish advertisers sincehe started publishing anti-Comn-munist material. "The Lord," hestated, "must have been on ourside to remain solvent throughthis hellish thing."

Trash removalThe same issue of the Carleton

reports that a periodical, "Edge,"edited by a former faculty mem-ber of the University of Albertahad been removed from a maga-zine rack as trash."

The periodical was removed atthe request of an Edmonton cityalderman, who branded it "sacri-legious filth." Claiming that theperiodical "makes light of Christand his teachings," he said "Idon't know how we can do any-thing about cleaning up the liter-ature available to teenagers whenthe university produces filth worsethan anything on the newsstands."

According to the owner of thestore from which the magazinewas removed, he did not sellmagazines "of a questionable na-ture" and those which sell badly.

The publication was also at-tacked by the provincial ministerof municipal affairs, who stated"The so-called literary efforts inEdge pollute the minds of ouryouths. "

IntoleranceFemales are the champions of

religious intolerance at McMaster

the survey.Female Protestants, according

to the survey, feel that they areobjects of discrimination; wouldnot marry someone of a differentfaith; think Roman Catholics arecorrect in considering birth con-trol a religious problem; and rateseparation preferable to divorce.

The survey covered 763 stu-dents, classified as Protestants,Roman. Catholics, agnostics, athe-ists, and others. The majority saidthat they were content with theirreligious views, although seniorsand graduate students were slight-ly less content than students in thefirst three years.

Tn answer to other questions inthe survey, students gave the fol-lowing answers:

"Do you dislike organized re-ligion?" "Yes," said 75 per centof atheists and agnostics, andslightly over 50 per cent of othergroups. Organized religion was de-fined as opposed to a personal, in-dividualistic faith. About 85 percent of both Roman Catholics andProtestants agreed.

Seventy-six per cent of thosesurveyed believed in the separa-tion of church and state. Only 16per cent of Roman Catholics ad-vocated church rather than statecontrol of education, as opposed to30 per cent of Protestants. Allgroups felt that the university hadno effect on their religious beliefs;a majority of Protestants, in fact,felt that their beliefs had beenstrengthened since entering theuniversity.

Although female' Protestants feltthat university students were morereligious than other persons theirown age, agnostics and atheistsdisagreed. Both female Protes-tants and atheists agreed, how-ever, that they were the objectsof discrimination.

American premiere of Arden playby Jeff Stokes

When a person finds himselfcompelled to live in relativesqualor, he may resent it vio-lently at first, but after a timehe will come to tolerate and evento embrace his lot. Our dwellingplaces grow upon us like diseas-es, and before long we begin torelish the stains and odors thatused to offend us.

Such is the relationship thatruns through John Arden's 'LiveLike Pigs:' a destitute Londonfamily, deprived of its slumdwelling by a well-wishing left-ist government, is forced to livein a decent house. Their resent-ment becomes ridiculous; withgreat perversity they do every-thing they can to get booted out,and then when the town finallydecides to- remove them they re-fuse to budge.: Like pigs in thegarbage they revel in theirgrunginess, literally embracing itin the form of its human embodi-ment, Big Rachel. Rachel is apig of the first order: hideous tolook at, faithless to her family,offensive to all.

How do I know about squalor?Arden's play, now enjoying its

American premiere at the Bos-ton Theatre Company, has beenwritten off by irate leftists as anempty protest against the social-ist tendencies of the British gov-ernment. It reaches much, muchmore deeply than that, however.The playwright has presentedman in his most elementary con-dition: stripped of all luxury andcultural pretensions, fighting forhis life, for his right to women,and for nothing else, faithful tohis instincts, to his emotions, andto nothing else. The Sawneys arenomads among human beings,trying to eke out from the faceof their world what it owes them.

' We wonder whether any man isnot just the same kind of happy-go-lucky riff-raff as Sailor Saw-ney or Big Rachel, but clad inricher clothes and more delicate

__~~~~~~~~

manners. Aside from this specu-lation the audience senses quitekeenly the dilemma of the poorman: he has neither the educa-tion nor the desire to improvehimself.

A significant feature of the playis the juxtaposition of the Saw-neys and a family that pretendsto considerably more decency:the Jacksons. Arden shows theclash between their ways of liv-ing, and we find the one drag-ging. down and the other puingup. 'Live Like Pigs' reveals hisinsight into the forces that in-fluence society on a grass rootslevel. He dramatizes these forcesin a rude, tragi-comic poetry thatShakespeare could never touch.

Unfortunately, the Cockney ac-cent provided a major stumblingblock for the actors, but actingability in areas other than enun-ciation made up this lack. BroniaStefan, as the Old Croaker, hasa voice and accent all her ownthat needs no special tutoring.Paul Benedict playing Sailor Saw-ney handled the Cockney quitewell, not to mention his superbfeeling for the part as a whole.These two, the most admirable ofall the characters from the view-er's standpoint, represent thelast worthy survivors of the old'nomadic' order that existed be-fore the welfare state.

The rest of the company,though falling over the language,performed remarkably. 'Live LikePigs' seems a tough bit to di-rect, but David-Wheeeler handledit as he always does: with amaster's ingenuity. The stagesetting done by Robert Allen,solved a number of problems ina manner both appropriate andunique.

MIT Concert Band returns froma successful intersession tour

By Julie LeverenzWhat with four major concerts

to play in four different cities,the M.I.T. Concert Band hasspent a busy intersession. Accord-ing to director John Corley, thebusiest one of them, it was thebest tour he has conducted. Stop-ping at Douglas College in NewJersey, Dickenson in Pennsylva-nia, and the University of Mary-land, the band highlighted itstour with a concert at Town Hallin New York City. The audienceof 200 included the composers offour works on the program andone or two newspaper reviewers.

The band, since it has comeunder the direction of Mr. Corley,has undertaken to encourage newcompositions in the hitherto little-used medium of the symphonicconcert band. The willingnesswhich the M.I.T. band has at-tempted contemporary music hasattracted such unsung writers asNicholas Caiazza, Andrew Kazdin,and W. J. Maloof to lend theband their manuscripts. It is acourageous project. The avant-garde repertoire is not only toughto play but tends to limit thesize of the audience.

The only fault one can find withthe band's performances on touris that frequently the instrumentswere out of tune with each other

and with themselves. Discordantmusic is no excuse for neglectof pitch. 'Unintentional disson-ance' was most obvious in thewoodwinds. Both the woodwindsand the brass, however, displayedremarkable technique and a truefeeling for their parts.

The Contemporary Chamber En-semble. conducted by Arthur Weis-burg will perform 'L'Histoire duSoldat' by Stravinsky and 'PierrotLunaire' by Schoenberg in KresgeAuditorium this Sunday, February14, at 3:00 pm.

'Firebugs': a study in indecisionBy Sherry Gulmon

Max Frisch's "The Firebugs,"presented by the MIT Communi-ty players at Kresge Little Thea-tre is a simultaneously scary andinvigorating portrayal of the dis-aster that can arise from modernman's lack of moral decisiveness.

Gottlieb Biedermann representseveryman. Engagingly played byRay Lussier, he is a pompousmiddle class businessman, dedi-cated to his job, and easily frus-trated by such things as the sui-cides of his employees and thenagging of his wife. His primaryproblem in the play is a coupleof pyromaniacs who have beenigniting all the best houses intown. They come to call on him.

Joe Schmitz, portrayed by TomSheahan, is a hulking, clumsyworking class type who displaysa disgraceful tactlessness andsloppy manners. Ramon Scott,who plays his mentor, WillieEisenring, is suave and sophisti-cated, with a sparkle in his eyeand a taste for the finer things

of life. Throughout the first twoacts, these two trip back andforth from the kitchen to the at-tic, chatting with the Beider-manns and- fusing the wirings toseveral drums of gasoline. Need-less to say, Herr Beidermann andhis fluttery, thin-lipped wife Ba-bette become increasingly morenervous, along with the audiencewho wonders why they don't justcall the police.

Finally the crucial night ar-rives, and Beidermann decidesto have a dinner party in thehope that his guests will be dis-tracted from their ominous in-tentions. Mrs. Beidermann ob-serves that their goose is cooked,and Joe Schmitz sings dirty nurs-ery rhymes while he gnaws on adrumstick. In general, the atmos-phere is rather charged, but theclimax comes- when Herr Beider-mann gives mitches to the fire-bugs. After all, "if they reallywere firebugs, they would havetheir own."
