ONCE AGAINLast Spring, too late for anything to be done about it, we

urged that the fraternities begin selecting their pledges fromthe Sophomore Class rather than from the incoming freshmen.At the risk of being somewhat premature, we would like torepeat the proposal now and to recommend specifically thatnext year's crop of fraternity brothers be drawn from the Classof 1953 sometime next May. Many, if not most, rushing chair-men have come to realize that a half-week's whirl around thehouses is not enough to acquaint the freshmen with the fra-ternities or vice-versa. In fact, there is already a strong move-ment in progress to change the rushing system; we hope thesewords will turn the movement into positive action.

Moving rush week to the late spring, with the pledgestaking up residence in the houses the following fall, wouldsimplify matters at the dormitory office as well as make itunnecessary for anyone to have to move his luggage twicewithin the same week. Of course, the obvious advantage isthat a sound choice of prospective brothers can be made. Theonly objection to Spring rushing, which we don't think willstand up anyhow, is that while school is in session students aretoo busy to participate in the proceedings. Actually, there isno reason why potential pledges can not be invited to mealsand week-end parties at any time during the year since, as amatter of fact, fraternities do entertain guests all year anyway.Indeed, it might be well if some tradition of tendering bids tonew pledges at the IFC Dance were evolved. Such a procedurewould add distinction to the rushing process. We shall be mosthappy to hear of any steps the IFC takes to promote a rationalrush week.

TO UNIFY TECHOne proposal which the fraternities have not taken kindly

to was made by the Institute Administration last year. It wasurged that the twenty-five, or so, fraternities at Technologymove into houses to be built for them on the West Campus bysome insurance company. In spite of the fact that, compared tomost colleges our fraternities enjoy a fantastic amount ofautonomy, the objection raised was that moving the houses toInstitute property would subject the fraternities to too muchInstitute control. The first answer to ithe point raised is thatseveral fraternities already stand on Institute ground withoutsuffering from oppression.

Secondly,. the fraternities are in a position to demandcertain safeguards to their autonomy before coming over. Theymight, for instance, include in their agreement with the Insti-tute a provision establishing the IFC as the only body govern-ing the fraternities' territory, effectively the same situation asexists today. Just as the King can not enter the House of Lordsuninvited, the fraternities might stipulate that no member ofthe Administration or Faculty may come unasked into theirbuildings.

Centralizing student living on the West Campus wouldprobably be the biggest step in the solution of the perennialproblem of school spirit. Only when students live together ina group will they co-operate in activities. In the long run, thisis a step that the Institute can not afford not to take.

THANKSOnce in a while we feel that we ought to show the Institute

that we appreciate that its heart, such as it is, is in the rightplace. The recent successful Freshman Weekend was largelya,result of the efforts of the Institute Administration, and theyare to be congratulated. Probably the most important contri-bution to freshman orientation was the inauguration of theFreshman Album, a book of photographs and vital statistics ofthe entering class. This book can go a long way towards intro-ducing the new men to one another through its listing of hometowns and by all means its publication should be continued forcoming years.

here aren't contented with -thebridge over the charles. no sir. es-pecially the name. we mentionedsomething about that in this col-umn last week and some of ourmore ambitious techmen decidedto do something about it.

about a week ago two signs pro-claiming "harvard bridge closed"mysteriously vanished from theirassigned locations on massachu-setts avenue. one had been placednear the albany street railwaycrossing, the other at the approachto central square. an informanttold us that perhaps the where-abouts of the two placards couldbe ascertained if a thorough searchwas made of building 22.

and sure enough. located in anobscure room in the basement ofthe plywood palace the signs werefound. at the time of their dis-covery, an artist was doing a quickpaint job on. the word "harvard."upon questioning the gentleman,we learned that another foray tothe scene of the crime was plannedfor that evening.

as the hands of our clock strodepast 1, which incidentally is thesame hour that most of the cam-bridge gendarmes leave for thenight, a black cloaked party ofthree desperadoes 'carefully un-locked the door of their room inthe barracks and silently clam-bered aboard an ancient chevy.one of the occupants drove, theother two had all they could do tohold the retouched 3 by 5 sign onto the side of the car. the chevvywhirled around and made a maddash for the ames street exit ofthe parking lot.

a few minutes later we found our-selves on an unlighted side street,within a few blocks of centralsquare. the occupants, trained inthis sort of thing, leapt out of thecar. one headed for the square, whilethe others carrieti the sign, keelIngconcealed in the shadows. close in-vestigation of the objective revealedthat the eager gentlemen of cam-bridge had replaced the missingsign with another one, bearing thelegend, "harvard bridge closed."

a slightly tipsy fellow strolledby and inquired "wassa doin boys?"the reply was "changing signs.""oh" .was the answer, and the fel-low kept going. suddenly the hag-gard face of a tired apartmenthouse dweller awakened by thepounding, appeared from a nearbywindow, shouting, "I'll call the copeif you guys don't get the hell outof here." paying little heed to theirate citizen, work again com-menced on the project. it appearedthat even the fire house could havebeen moved with little or no ob-
