Beginning vAth the 'all Term, norefrigerators or hot plates will bepermitted in the dormitories, if cur-rent proposals are adopted. Theobjiection to these appliances, ac-cording to Safety Egineer MarkDondero, is the ever-present dangerof fire.

Refrigerators in themselves arencot condemned as they use littleelectricity. However, a refrigera-tor means food, which in turn leadsto hot plates. Hot plates not onlyuse current, but are constant directsources of danger from fire. hneelectricity they use is enough, whena radio, hot plate and lamps, forexample, are on the same circuit,to blow out a fuse. This has hap-pened a number of times this yearand in some cases students havereplaced the 15 ampere fuses withthose carrying 30 amperes, Thiscan cause the overheating of wiresand lead to electrical fires veryeasily. To effectively outlaw hotplates, refrigerators must go also,says Dondero.

This year has been unusuallygood from the standpoint of ac-cidents. There have been only afew minor fires in the dormitories,mostly due to experimentation andnot to the appliances. However,the danger has been present, andnext year, says Dondero, we mightnot be so lucky.

Appointment of Walter H. Gale,Associate Professor of AeronauticalEngineering, as Secretary of theMassachusetts Institute of Tech-nology was announced today byDr. James R. Killian, Jr., President.

As Secretary of the Institute, anew administrative post, ProfessorGale will have executive responsi-bilities for the Institute's broadprogram of external relations, in-cluding alumni, and developmentof resources.

In line with the general dutiesof his ocfie, Professor Gale willhave administrative direction ofthe following offices and program:the Development Office now estab-lished on a permanent basis, theorganization and extension of theInstitute's system of alumni coun-selors for prospective students, theIndustrial Liaison Office, the NewsService, the Publications Office, andthe Summer Session.

Tribua e To SlZ ons,eveleopmenzt Fund

More than 1,000 leading indus-trialists, educators, and distin-guished representatives of the pro-fessiors will join to pay tribute toAlfred P. Sloan, Jr., at the VictoryDinner of the Technology Develop-mert Program in New York onMay 3.

Speakers, in addition to Mr.Sloan, will include Paul G. Hoff-man, Dr. Karl T. Compton, Dr.James R. Killian, Jr., and MarshallB. Dalton.

The dinner will celebrate the suc-cessful completion of the Institute's$20,000,000 development program.

Exceptions to the ruling wouldbe made only for those studentsliving at home, with concurrenceof the Dean of Students. Preciselywhere the freshmen would-live wasnot designated in the report of theCommittee. First year dormitoryresidents lived this year in speciallydesignated buildings on EastCampus, but Robert M. Kimball, di-rector of Business Administration,remarked that the freshmen mightbe assigned to any of the threeunits on the campus or be sprinkledthroughout the dormitory system.

According to the Committee re-port, the "proposal results from astudy of -the educational valuesavailable only through campus resi-dence and has been approved inprinciple by the InterfraternityConference." The date for start of

The Military Science Departmentis now able to grant a number ofdeferments to freshmen who havenot previously been accepted.

According to Colonel Charles F.Baish, PMIS&T, an additional quotafor draft deferment of EUT fresh-men has been received for ArmyROTC units.

Among the new dormitory pulicyproposals for the school year 1951-1952 is a new telephone systemdesigned to cut costs and complywith the lower rents now proposed.Still only tentative, the new systemwould be adopted in two steps,reaching full development in theSpring Tenr of next year.

Initially, the system would con-sist of having all outside callshandled through the East Campusswitchboard, except the calls tothe Baker House. All calls receivedby the East Campus switchboardwould he relayed to the corridorphones nearest the persons calledas is now done However, studentswould be notified of their callsover the room phones, as is nowdone, only between 3:00 p.m. and1':00 pm.

Dial Phones in Corridors

Starting with- the Spring Termof next year, all outside calls tothe dormitories would be handledat the main Institute switchboard,KI. 7-6900. 'The calls would berelayed from there to the corridorphones as before and notificationof the students would be the sameas explained above. In addition,the present corridor phones wouldbe replaced by dial phones, makingall calls to any point in the In-stitute direct. Calls to anyoneliving in any of the dormitories

A grant of $10,000 from theVannevar Bush Trust to aid stu-dents in the development of quali-ties of leadership and resourceful-ness was announced today by theInstitute.

While the grant was made with-out restriction, the trustees sug-gested that $500 be awarded an-nually from the income and princi-pal of ithe fund to the undergraduatehead of student .government to de-fray the extraordinary expensesincident to his office.

"The trustees," it was announced,"were led to this suggestion by theconviction that one of the bestways to further scientific progressis to develop qualities of leader-ship and resourcefulness, not onlyas applied to scientific problems,but also as applied to the complexfields of government and human re-lationshnips.

"In the modern world, it may notbe enough for scientists or otherspecializers to be educated solely intheir specialty. Universities haverecognized this problem and havebeen concerned over the develop-ment of useful methods of combin-

real significance of these activitieslies not so much in their socialprestige or value as an asset foremployment as in their influence inhelping the participant in develop-ing a mature and responsible out-look. If, today, the student leaderfully recognizes that he is workingfor the betterment of the group ofwhich he is a part, and in so doingis gaining leadership experience, itfollows that tomorrow he will havea more firm background for partic-ipation in the affairs of citizenship.

"At the present time, plans forthe conference include the at-tendance of leaders of industry,business, and education, men skilledin the psychology of group dy-namics, who should be able to im-part some of their knowledge tothe students. A weekend in thefall will be devoted to the con-ference during which there will beuninterrupted discussions of theproblems of student leadership andgovexnment."

Qapi CgaJ Each Living Unit M ayHave House Measter;

oom Rents Revised.As a result of a three-month

survey of dormitory and diningoperations made by the Advisory

i Committee on Hausing and DiningIr Facilities, a number of proposals

to effect reorganization of certainservices in the hope of gainingincreased eaonomy .have been in-cDrporated into a report. Theseproposals are zweeping and exteon-sive, bouching on almost' everyservice now offered by the Insti-tute for the comfort and con-venience of residents.

*, A House Master for each livingunit is recommended as an aidto "the development- of betterunderstanding and freer communi-cations." The Master would beselected -by the students andadministration from the facultyto act ams counelor to residents inhis house. He would not be con-cerned, according to the report,with disciplinary matters or housemaintenance.

Eoom Rents

The second of the proposalsconcerns the reduction of dormitoryroom rentals. The Committeerecommends that a schedule shouldbe set up at Baker House with rentsranging from a minimum of $170to a maximum of $210; the EastCampus rentals should be reducedby $10 per academic year; River-side rents should be reduced byan average of $.20 per academicyear. Mr. Robert M. Kimball, Direc-tor of Business Administration,staites that there is no formulato decide the rent for a given room;it is essentially qualitative judg-

campus beginning in the fall of 1952, the Advisory Committeeon Dining and Housing has recommended. The Committee sub-mitted the proposal to student leaders at a dinner given byPresident Killian last Wednesday night.

Prreimiary Trialeb Predecessor OFContrac Feedins

Last Wednesday President Killiangathered students and officers ofthe Institute to discuss the pro-posed dormitory changes. Onceagain, the oontract feeding prob-lenr loomed up as a maj or stumblingblock to any definite improverments.During the course of debate oneoutstanding suggestion was made,andw.ill become a reality on May 7if enough students back the plan.Basically, it is a "trial" contract,which will be tested over a periodof two weeks, and would resemble-the Baker House system. For a $20deposit, students would be entitledto 30 meals, served in WalkerMemorial during the present dininghours. The plan will be tried onlyif 200 or more students sign upnow with either A. W. Bridges, orW. H. Carlisle.

President Killian mummeed up thesuggestion in these words; "Thistrial run approaches the controver-sial problem in sound Technologyfashion by providing anl objectivetest. I ~hope that enough studentswill sign up so that we may havefair test, and so that studentsthemselves will have a clear oppor-tunity to appraise the arrangementin Walker."

Contract feeding fwill be com-pulsory for all incoming Freshlmennext yeses, but on a voluntarybasis for upper-classmen.

Fraternities MayRent Dorm Rooms

Fraternities, In the next schoolyear, will be able to rent blocks ofrooms in the Riverside Dormitoriesto serve as annexes to their presentquarters, Assistant Dean ThomasL. Hilton announced Friday. This,said Mr.. Hilton, is in line withthe new policy of keeping thedormitories filled to capacity andthus keeping individual rates aslow as possible.

In past years, according to Mr.Hilton, fraternities have requested.space in the dormitories to housetheir ,overflow members. Becauseof a shortage of rooms theserequests w'ere refused. Now thatRiverside is available, space will beallotted.

CONTRACT FEEDING AT WALKER MEMORIALWe cannot too strongly urge that all residents of East

Campus Dormitories subscribe to two weeks of Contract Feed-ing, as proposed last Friday by the Director of Dining andHousing Facilities.

This is important. This is a chance for every student livingon East,Campus to make himself an expert on contract feeding.Whether a student is in favor of or opposes contract feeding,he cannot know what contract feeding in Walker Memorial islike unless he has participated in contract feeding in WalkerMemorial.

All indications point to this two week period as a fair trial.We can assume that the Institute is giving us an honest sampleof what their form of contract feeding is like; they would onlypostpone the argument by "putting on the diog" now.

Remember, your objection is not worth hearing unless youknow what you are talking about. Try it!

ment - considering location, theavailability of dining ,facilities, andthe relative attractiveness of theaccommodattions.

The third proposal pertains tonew and reorganized dining facili-ties. The Committee proposes thata snack ,bar be provided in River-side, accommodating approximatelyseventy-five and operating between11 a.m. and midnight seven daysa week. This proposal was a com-promise, since the cost, $300,0D0,of setting up a complete dining hallis far beyond the means of the In-stitute at the present time.

Contract FeedingAlthough contract feeding will

be a requiremenrt for Freshmenbeginning in the Fall of 1951, itwill be available on a voluntarybasis at the beginning of any termto other residents of East Campus.Contract feeding for one hundredresidents of Riverside will be ayail-able at Baker House. Residents ofthe Grad House and other residentsof Riverside may register for con-tract feeding in the Campus Roombeginring in September, 1951, ona.fifteen meal per week basis. A lacarte service in the Campus Roomwill be discontinued in September,1951.

With regard to furniture, bedlinen, and towels, the Institute willcontinue to provide these items.However, beginning in July, 1951,the Committee recommends thatthe Institute discontinue the prac-tice of providing soap in the in-dividual rooms. A study of the totalcost of soap in the past year showsthat $%,00-$10,990 was spent ofwhich $3,000-$5,000 was the costof the soap used in ,the students'roms.

Beginning in the Fall of 1951, theInstitute will authorize studentlaundry agencies in each majordormitory unit. The Institute willdesignate certain laundries forwhich the students may serve asagents. Application for a laundryagency may be made to W. H.Carlisle, Jr. Students will still befree tQ mail their personal laundryhome or to take It to any locallaundry.

The first indication of oppositionto this film came Tuesday when agroup of students went to Ahe rfficeof the Assistant Dean, Thomas Hil-ton, to protest the showing of thefilm and to prevail upon the Dean'soffice to prohibit LSC from show-ing it. This ,prOtesting group wascomprised of the following stu-dents: Ronald C. Chisholm, '52;John C. Welch, '53; Joseph O'Leary,'51; Connie Gradilone, '53; FrancisHyson, '52. All of the group are

Ecstasy, Heddy Lamar's secondmovie, was produced in Czecho-slovakia in 1931. Fritz Mandel,Heddy's millionaire Austrian hus-band, attempted to suppress themovie by buying up all existingfilms. However, he failed, and in1934 the picture reached the U. S.where it was promptly seized bythe Treasury Dept. It has sincebeen released.

The State of Massachusetts hasbanned the movie on Sundays andBoston has banned it for all sevendays of the week. In Europe, theScandinavian countries passed itbut Germany and France banned it.

Members of the Administrationmet with Inter-Fraternity Con-ference representatives last Mon-day in an effort to clarify and dis-cuss the proposal that all fresh-men be required to live on Campus,and the implications that the pro-posal has for all IST .fraternities.

In answer to the question of "Whyhave restricted living," AssistantDean Thomas L. Hilton stated thatit would benefit the freshmenclasses markedly since at the pres-ent time fraternities take a goodpercentagre of the "cream of thecrop" ,and those students who endup -in the :dorms or commute don'thave a chance to associate withthese ~poteantial campus leaders. Hefeels that it would definitely benefitthe remahider of the freshmenclass who are not as inclined toactivities and extra-curricula asso-ciation.

Dean Farnsworth then statedthat the proposal is an effort tobu~ild up school spirit through theincoming freshmen. He furthersaid that a freshman's first associa-tion upyan entering the Instituteshould be with the Institute itself;leaaning how the Institute func-tons, and being integrated into theTechnology family. It would alsogive the entering freshmen the op-portunity to get, acquainted withheir fellow classmates.The Dean's office has approved

an lIF proposal made at this meet-ing of notifying the fraternities atleast two years in advance so that,some form of Spring Term rushingcan be conducted preceding the

By ARTHUR HAINESProposals to house all ,freshmen

an the Institute ,campusas outlinedin the recent report of the AdvisoryCommittee on Housing and DiningFacilities were strongly defendedby Assistant Dean Thomas L.Hilton last Wednesday night at aforum aired on WVT v. i-ZTltonpointed out that living in the dormsduring the freshman yeaT formsclose friendships, makes the stu-dent more familiar with campusfacilities, and raises his termratings. He also added that almostall other comparable schools suchas Princeton, Yale, and Cal Techrequire freshmen to live on capus.

In support of the high scholasticaverages for those students livingin the dormitories the approximatefirst term ratings for this year'sfreshmen were quoted at 3.40 fordormitory freshmen, 3.00 for .ratez-nity :freshmen, and an all Sreshmenaverage at 310. Mt.. Hilton stated,"Freshmen living in dormitoriesalways rate better than the averagefreshim.en."

Fraternity AdvantagesLawrenrce Mayer, president of the

LFC, had stated however, at anIFC meeting thast fraternity fresh-men are tmuch more active in socialaffairs and athletic events. Frater-nity rpen also develop an Institutespirit through greater Participationin extra-curricular activities andby forming closer friendships withother students at the Institute, hesaid.

Dormitory space will probably beassigned to fraternities, but will notbe issued ,by the ~bloek. Rooms forfraternities will be spread oit ,andfraternity brothers will be expectedto take part in dormitory activitieslike any other dormitory student.

Mail service is at .present underinvestigation. Mr. Hilton tried tomake clear that the alternative topresent practice is to have U. S.postmen place mail in boxes and

Mr. Hilton went on to say thatwith the proposed new phone sys-term a central switehboa rd must beinstalled, and that it must be inoperation twenty-four hours a day.The dormitowy resident would becalled to a hall phone, during 'hourswhen the house phone was not inoperation. Sir. Hilton agreed thatthis system wouldgive poorer serv-ice than is being offered at presentbut once installed it will be lessexpensive to operate.

this his third visit to the country,Lord Tedder naturally spent mostof his time in Washington. How-ever, he says that he was able to"get a breath of air down inFlorida" for a while.

,Lord Tedder likes the UnitedStates in general, ,but says thatAmericans and Englishmen tend tothink that they are very similarbecause of their common language."The English are as different, as asociety, from the Americans as anyother nationalities, and we mustnot allow ourselves to forget thisin our dealings with each other.But," he added with a smdle,"Americans land British both knowhoaw to eat.

°"ECTACY "-

"Ecstasy," controversial and highly publicized film, wasto have been shown to three audiences by LSC on Tuesday.At about 3:30 p.m., just before the movie was to have gone onthe screen before an estimated 500 people, two Cambridgepolicemen walked in an,& prevented the showing.

In accordance with Institutepolicy, the Dean's offce refused tointervene unless there was a ques-tion of legality. Some of those pro-testing were not satisfied with thisruling. One of them called Cam-bridge City Hall in the hope of pre-venting LSC from getting a license.After speaking with the bureau oflicenses and the mayor's office, hewas connected with Sgt. Batemanof the Cambridge Police, who agreedto meet him and view the perform-ance.

.As a police offcial, Sg%. Batemanhas the right to stop any showwhich he deems, 'after viewing, im-proper or undesirable. Only theprevious day, council had passed aresolution reninding the police de-partment of this duty. Harvardsucceeded in showing "Ecstacy"four times.

"Ml.asachusetts Institute of Tech-nology is rated quite high by Cam-bridge University." , This typicalBritish understatement came. fromthe cha;cellor of the university.Lord Arthur William Tedder, duringhis visit to the Institute on April24.

Lord Tedder, who was Allied Dep-uty Supreme ,Commander in Eu-rope under General Fisenthower inthe past war and who has beenchielf of Air Staff of the Royal AirForce since 1946, spent the day atthe Institute as the guest of Pres,-dent Killian. Just how he spenthis time here is restricted informa-tion, but he said that he was im-pressed by the "stimulating atmos-phere" wh/ch oervades the Insti-

tute.

Prepared North Atlantic TreatyFor the past twelve months, Lord

Tedder has been in the UnitedStates working with -GeneralBradley and General Elyof Francepreparing the North AtlanticTreaty. He has been on leave ofabsence from the British Broad-ca,5ing Company. Now he has beenrecalled to England by the B.B.C.,and visited the Institute on his wayhome.

Lord Tedder began his militarycareer in 1914, when he joined the

not, as has been rumored, to havethe mail centralized in one building.

An inspection system will prob-ably be resorted to next year in thequestion, of food and hot plates inthe rooms. MT. Hilton indicated thatto prevent the use of -hot platesal} food, refrigerators, etc., must beremoved, since enforcement of oneand not the other is virtually im-possible. At the same time it waspointed out that ,boarding houses,which have ampl e cooking facilitiesand privileges, can be rented at anaverage of one dollar ,per week lessthan the average dormitory room.

FCCFormulaNesHewPlan1 For 'ImprovedFreshm~an\eekead

The ,promotion of '55 class spiritwill be the principal aim of fresh-man weekend this fall. In additionthe fresh an Coordina$ing Com-mittee plans to make numerouschanges in the program in orderthat it may be run on a moreinformal level than last fall.

John B. Jamieson, '52, past chalT-man of the weekend committee,explains that a majox fault of the'50 program was the excess "long,dry talks" ,by student leaders andfaculty members. The frosh satand l'stened instead of exchangingideas among themselves.

The activities exhibit in Rockwellcage was a great success, however,and will certainly be included inthe schedule this coming fall. Itafforded freshtoen personal con-tact with upperclassmen in everyactivity.

Freshmen to Live In DormsAll freshmen attending the orien,-

tation weekend will be living inthe dormitories during -that shortperiod. This is to get the class of'55 together aEd instil in them aspirit of cooperation. Upperclass-men grades will live in thedorms.

Members of the faculty will besitting at every dining table, so thatthey can talk with the froah ratherthan lecture to them.

The question of Camp Wonder-Land and the Institutle as.site forthe weekend was also discussed bythe committee. It was finallyagreed that if the program could berun most efficiently here at thenstitute, this would be done..
