Stu-Fae Co onimo DiscussesReview Period Poll Results

By S. A. KLIMENT

Following by a week the poll conducted to obtain Sophomores' views

on the proposed reading periods, the Student-Faculty Committee met

last Th-ursday in the Campus Pwoom of the Graduate House to review

results, and to discuss an outline of the freshman orientation program

for next fall.The results of the poll-published in THE TECH last Friday-were

considered as a reliable (basis for further action, since great care was

taken to make the parts in thequestionnaire as impartially worded

.as was possible.Distribution of Reading Period,Vhfile there was agreement on

how to interpret most of the datain the results, differences in opin-ion were found to exist on whetheror not to have the proposed read-ing period in one block.

Those favoring a'spreading outof the readirng period maintainedthat it would force students tostudy for each exam, and that itwould minimize the chances of hav-ing several exams together, thus"reducing the ,pressure."

Those opposed to having theperiod in one ,block suggested eitherthat the period be spread out sothat there was one free day beforeeach final examination; or that thereading days Ibe divided into twoparts, one before the final series ofquizzes, and one before the finalexamination period.

ForOpposing this view was the opin-

ion that cutting up the readingperiod into little pieces would de-feat the very purpose of the period,which is to create a few days with-out tests or exams on the follow-ing day, and to enable the studentto badget his time as he thinks fit.

Best methods of reviewing werealso discussed. The Committee feltthat a rigorously scheduled reviewperiod was not desirable, and ad-vocated a system whereby the in-structors would either be availableat specified times for consultation;Dor that question and answer periodscould be conducted by instructors,with attendance optional.

There was some debate on theoptimum length for such a readingperiod; while it was felt that fourdays would serve the purpose well,no formal decision was reached onthis point.

Review or Reading?t! The pros and cons of calling theperiod a "reading" period or a "re-view" period were considered.

A straw vote taken among upper-classmen on the Committee revealeda majority of 9 to 1 in favor of hav-ing the period extended to all

stiff entrance requirements accountfor the many girls enrolled withprevious college training. This alsomakes their average age abouttwenty, rather high for a two-yearschool.

This maturity is quite easilyrecognized, but these gals are farfrom "settled." They walk fast(10 minutes to school in CopleySquare), talk fast, and act friendly.Their practical jokes are usuallycontained within the house, butthey take plenty of razzing fromthe Techmen, who particularly loveto kid them about the Sundayattire required by the school.

Through these and other minorincidents, the girls have reallygotten to know some Techmen, andhave formed very definite opinionsof them. Though quite a few wearTech pins, the M.I.T. student ingeneral is rated very low, socially.This was attributed to a "spherethat encloses the 'Institution' andeverything associated with it."

Frosh Near VictoryIn Interclass Track

In spite of a tremendous effort bythe senior class in their last chanceat an interclass track title, the classof '55 appears to have come off withits third straight interclass vic-tory in the spring interclass meet.With only three events, the javelin,discus, and broad jump, still to becontested, the Frosh squad holds a58-51 lead over the seniors. Thesophs were third with 41 points,with the juniors a distant fourthwith 29.

Frosh CaptainHarry Schreiber, half-miler from

Columbus, Ohio, was elected cap-rtain of the freshman track teamat a meeting last week.

Beaver Diamondmen sStalemaie Beaw LoseTo Upaela Coll. 4-3

Despite an excellent display ofheads-up base-rAnning, and capabledefensive play, the Engineers went'down to defeat on Thursday beforeUpsala College of New Jersey, 4-3,after relinquishirng a 4th inning3-0 lead.

In the 4th, the Techmen fash-ioned three big runs out of o;ie hit,and two well-executed double stealsto go out in front. With CaptainAmos Dixon hurling beautiful ball,it looked like Tech's third win untilthe 7th frame, when Dixie issuedtwo passes to start the canto.These, coupled with a pickoff throwby Valerio which went awry, twohits, and a wild pitch which allowedthe winning run to reach third base,led to the downfall of this hustling,scrappy MI.T. ball club. CoachMerritt relieved Dixon, who hadpitched a grand game, and sent BillTeeple to the hill in an effort tostem the tide. Teeple did just that,blanking the Upsala forces the restof the way.

On dates thehave no conversation other thanscience and its problems; theyforget all manners and etiquette,and fail to treat their girls as such.Besides this they have an air ofsuperiority which keeps them frommixing with students not in theirown category.

Techmen are also slow in makingdates, very often calling the sameday anid blaming the delay onschool work. This may be justifiedsomewhat, but the line is used toomuch to suit these, girls.

Anlother complaint is that Tech-men lack initiative -to suggestsome form of entertainment besidesa party -and/or Memorial Drive.They very rarely think of a play,picnic, or movie (other than ascience fiction). They also fail to telltheir dates beforehand when defin-it~e plans are made.
