In tlhe otion passed by Inscomm following an Rule's recent letter, it was stat- lthat no action was being taken on :dcomm's recommendation, because Dean's action made Inscomm pernfuous". Dean Rule has already :n an advance copy of the state- .:nt, and will have a comment on it ::ly next week. Amstutz said that Tnscomrn was not 4rticularly dissatisfied with the spe- Ic action that Dean Rule had taken IVoo Doo. Rather, he said, it was question of recognition and position. The central problem is one of student government responsibility. Inscomm in Action As if to back up their demand for delegation of responsibility, the Ad- visory Councils set up by Insconmn early in the fall have been particu- larly busy this past week. The Conm- mittee on Comprehensive and Oral Exams has mrnade a s.,ong sg,,,estio;- for having oral exarnminations put into the undergi-aduate curriculum. The Cumulative Rafti.ig Comrnittee has suggested the teri aInd cur.i ratings l)e removed from semester g:ades. The Commuter Facilities Committee has been investigating the possibility of lodging commuting students over- night in Walker Memorial. The Bulle- tin Board Committee t is now having glass covers built over the bulletin boards. Among other forthcoming activities, Institute Committee wvill sponsor a Christmas Convocation in Kresge Auditorium on December 18th. In the future, a Parents' Weekend and a Teachers' Honoring Program will be offered by subcommittees of Inscomm. The purpose for this flurry of activity, according to Amstutz, is two-foldl. First, it will show that Inscomm is more than a biweekly sounding board, but has the ability to institute posi- tive action. Secondly, said Amstutz, it is important for members of Ins- comm to realize that their position involves more than simply attending meetings, but requires outside work. "Why Does Inscomm Exist" For the next meeting, Amstutz has requested all members to submit short statements on the subject, "Why Does Institute Committee Exist?" Further- more, all interested MIT students have been requested to submit any worth- while ideas for action that they may have to their Inscomm representatives, with the hope that the best of these ideas may become suitable projects. At this forthcoming meeting, it is hoped that a definite answer will be developed for those critics of Inscomm who have argued that it does no use- ful work. It is also hoped that an understanding of Inscomm's exact re- sponsibilities will be simultaneously determined. 6scomm Secats lAA President; ioActionOn Class Representatives The motion for changing representation on Institute Committee was dis- · ;sed at last Thursday's meeting, and a decision was finally madLe. The nmotion, 'ich had been proposed by IFC President Bob Jordan '58, had been tabled Poatedly for the last four weeks, clue to the Voo Doo discussions. Insconmm has decided to seat Dan Holland '58, Athletic Association Presi- It, His election was unanimous, and he wvill be seated at the next meeting. Another decision, suggested i at this meeting by UAVP Ritchie Coryell '58, '0ides that all members of Inscomim 'o hold their seats ex-officio-that ,by virtue of their being elected to other office--will lose their original ce if they do not take part in Ins- Mlm meetings. When asked about Holland said that, although he ;ls that it is more important for 'ivity leaders to lead activities, he ends to take full part in the meet- bs by choice.

HARRISON TCA Drive Raises $1500 For Charily; Short Of$400OGoal Nearly $1500 has been contributed to the second annual TCA Charity Drive with final returns yet to be mad<. The total, however, will fail far short of the $4,000 goal. "Response was very good from those contacted, estimated to be only about one-half of the student body," states Bob Phinney '58, drive manager. Any- one not contacted who would like to contribute may stop in at the TCA office anytime." All solicitation was done by volunteers from various liv- ing groups, and the highest team will receive a keg of beer. The money will be distributed among five diversified charities, with each man's contribution going to the gr-oup of his choice. These organizations a-re the United Fund, the American Cancer Society, the International Rescue Com- mnittee, which helps refugees from be- hind the Iron Curtain, World Univer- sity Students, an international schol- arship fund, and the Community Tal- ent Search, which seeks to find and develop scientific talent in under- levelopod unrban aureas of the United States. Phinney asks thlat all wEho pledged a donation drop a check in the mail or stop in at the TCA office in Walker Memorial within the next month. Dramnashop To Do "Richard H" Above are Ellerv Stone '59 and Michael Meeker '58 as ther, will appear in Dramashop's production of Shakespeare's Richard 11 this week. The two play King Richard and a monk, respectively. Not pictured. but playing the role of Bolingbroke is Buck Rogers '61. Tickets for the four productions of Richard II are available in the lobby of Building 10 or by calling Tech extension 2901. Elsa Maxwell, famed party-thrower, threw a barb into American education last week when she said, "Our young people are too serious. There's no lightness in their education. Every- thing is 'MIT-ism'. They try to beat the clock, beat the other fellow." Dr. George R. Harrison, MIT's Dean of Science, far from agrees. "I shall resist the temptation to say that what America is suffering from is too much Elsa-Maxwellism, but I do think that we need to turn from the present party-giving spirit to the spirit of the Boston tea party, when men had a cause and vere willing to sacrifice their immediate comfort for their ulti- mate good," he said. This comment was part of a speech given before a regional conference of MiT alumni, held in Pittsburgh on December 7, in which Dean Harrison began with this warning: "I believe that the next two years are the most dangerous in the history of the modern world, and. that the decade after that will show only a slow relaxation of the danger, and that only if we Americans wake up much faster than we are waking up at present. I am afraid that the American moral fibre has been tender- ized by the sweet acids of success," said the dean. "Krushchev has al- ready announced that the Russians have won, and if we keep on in our present course, he is right." After sounding this general alarm, Dean Harrison described his exact viewpoint. "I have never worried about the atom . . . or hydrogen bombs," he said, since "the release and control of (atomic energy) are necessities if all the people who will want to live on earth soon are to have enough to eat. I am not even worried about intercontinental mis- siles at the moment," he said, "for I think the Sputniks woke us up in time to take care of that, provided we work hard enough." These are not our real problems, claims the dean, but are only symptoms. Basically we, as a nation, are too self-satisfied. As Dean Harrison commented, "We have been over-confident; the time has come to run scared. Already there are signs of relaxation after the post- Sputnik awakening." Not only are we asleep, according to the dean, but the With the Russian drive for tech- nological supremacy so evidently in progress, Dean E. P. Brooks, School of Industrial Management, and Dr. Morris Cohen, Professor of Metal- lurgy, each cited the need for rapid advances and improvements in their respective fields, at the MIT Regional Conference held last Saturday in Pittsburgh. Pointing out the challenge of Sput- nik to management, as well as to sci- ence, Dean Brooks said, "It would be most inappropriate to speak of man- agement today without recognizing the problems newly clreated by rockets and satellites. In order to rewin su- premacy, we will need to make a great scientific and technological effort. But the effort vwill not be enough unless it is well administe'eed. And that is a problem of management-of industrial management in large part." Hie went on to say, "The nation's reaction, since Sputnik burst so un- expectedly into the scene, has been that we must have more scientists anad engineers. It is equally important to have with them more well-educated industrial managers who can coordi- nate and put into practice their dis- coveries. Our effort to improve tech- nical knowledge and skill will be in part wasteful unless wve also train men who can turn knowledge and skill into better products mnore effec- tively produced. That is why Sputnik DOWAGER ELSA MAXWELL nation's attitudes seem reactionary. "We need science and scientists as never before, yet people are worried about our getting involved in too much science," says the dean. A real and rapid step must be taken, in his opin- ion, to change this attitude. That is our real problem. As a solution, Dean Harrison pro- posed that, "It should be possible for any student with outstanding brains to earn an education by using them. There is evidence that America now loses about half its potential number of highly educated men for financial reasons. The government should set up at once, for there is no time to lose, a system for sending selected outstanding students to school, with all expenses paid so long as they could meet educational standards about twice as high as those most of our public schools now require." Such re- quirements would be "stiff, but well within the abilities of the top two percent of the age group." This bears a similarity to the Soviet educational system, which is also government sub- sidized, but Dean Harrison maintains that he "does not like the Russian system, but at the present juncture we are not being asked what we like, but what we must do to stay free." is a challenge to management and to those of us who educate for manage- ment." Dean Brooks emphasized, that some qualities indispensable to tomorrow's administrator are beyond the reach of education, e.g. boldness, initiative, character and judgment. "We cannot give these qualities to students who lack them. But," he added, "like all creative abilities. everyone has some potential for leadership, and we hope to begin developing it among our carefully selected body of students during their time in the school." Grave Concern for US Metallurgy In his first major speech since his areturn this fall from an extensive visit to Soviet industrial arnd educa- tional centers, Dr. Morris Cohen ex- pressed the opinion that the US has reason for grave concern over Russia's rapid progress in metallurgy as wvell as her spectacular success in other fields. Although the United States is pro- ducing more than twice as much steci as the Soviet Union, Russ;a's pro- duction has increased 1,000 per cent in thirty years, and this heavy indus- try has a top priority in an attempt to match American production -within the next fifteen years.

For SolidarityThat MIT should cease to be a campus seems highly un-

likely, cepeially in view of its large endowment and therezern reassurances by acting President Stratton to theeffeat that not even the mounting pressures of national de-fense will turn the Institute into a non-.academic ManhattanProject. But here again, on a much larger scal than withWTBS, is a conflict between internal (academic) and e.~-

tcmnal (industrial and defense) inteersts, an acute conflictbidding fair to become more a.cute, it conflict bolstered by

the nation's rising technological needs and our strong de-sire to serve those needs.

Yet short-run needs fly in the face of long-run needs-the necessity of training engineers and scientists for to-morrow's industry and defense. And both of these tend to

bc encouraged at the expense of what cannot beet a dead-line: the pursuit of knoweldge.

To resist the encroachments of lesser needs upon highergoals, by a repeated assessment of our status and our role.should always be our policy. Indeed, the best expressionof "MIT-ism" has always been to serve the nation and theworld succulent recipes from the cookbooks of scienze andtechnologyt, not like a short-order cook who follows ordersand stays in the kitchen, but like one who dines with theworld, like a gracious and knowing hostess.

college worldYea Rah for innovations! For the great many Dixieland

lovers around and about, there is a group up at NewtowneHall name of the Satellite Six who play large amounts of

New Orleans type music on Saturday nights, to the delightof lots of customers sitting around drinking what is ostensi-bly ginger ale, clapping their hands (some even in time tothe music), dancing when the music permits, and singinglustily such old favorites as Saint James Infirmary andWhen the Saints Go Marching In. The band includes avery stoic piano player, a trombone, base, drums, clarinet,and a tnumpet player who does a beautiful imitation of thesinging of Louis Armstrong, and who occasionally may beobserved to drink vodka straight from the bottle.

There was a little excitement the other day down at theUniversity of Connecticut. Seems there was a big fight onthe top of one of the dormitories, and since it was Sundaynight of Homecoming Weekend, a large crowd gathered,growing larger as the fight moved closer to the edge of theroof. The Connecticut Daily Campus reports: "Suddenlyone of the men faltered, then went down. A bloodcurdlingscream rose above the cries of the mob as a dark formhurtled earthward.

"Horrified spectators rushed toward the prostrate,sprawled form on the ground as a lone figure, silhouettedagainst the stars, looked from the roof. The first manreached the dark form and found-the limp body of adummy stolen from a display.

"Above, the second man picked himself up from theroof and quietly slipped away." Don't give up the fight,people. We may win the fight against maturity yet.

As I look through all these papers from colleges fromall over the country (that's my job), I'm always being madevery sad by these big spreads about Homecomings, completewith football games on Saturday afternoon, big parties, oldgrads, and particularly by these Queen contests. Typically,the front page is covered with pictures of all kinds of goodlooking girls (all of whom I find perfectly acceptable),with a big story on how one will be selected as queen atthe big blast after the football game. The Miami Hurricane'was particularly aggravating with a full section on colorin addition to the usual front page. That's OK, you guys.You go ahead and party. We ENJOY our work!

EVER YBODY!I! Don't forget the basketball game thisweekend with Harvard. It's a home game, the last Saturdaynight game before vacation, and we're going to SMASH'em. So bring a date, or come stag, but come, and help ourneat new cheerleaders make lots of noise.

The Ether And The VoidLast week-end, when our own WTBS played several

minstrel songs recorded by Richard Dyer-Bennet, onepleased listener remarked that, when he called the stationjust two weeks ago to request those numbers, the fellowthere had said that WTBS didn't own any of Mr. Dyer-Bennet's recordings and that he had never heard of the man.

WTBS is still without a Richard Dyer-Bennet record, butwas able to borrow one from the Hayden Music Library,probably in direct response to requests for it. This kind ofresponsiveness is, more often than not, characteristic ofWTBS, especially in the music department where campustaste runs from the classics to a curious blend of "Dixie"and Duke Ellington. The most popular show is the all-request "Saturday Night Owl", but its popularity is beingthreatened by another program, pioneered last Saturday, inwhich two D-orchester "Dj's:' named Herman and Dermanjunket to West Campus with their records to broadcast"live from Baker House".

"Live" coverage of campus affairs is also being pioneeredthis year, under able Station Manager Roy F. Thorpe '58.Eager staff members, wearing white oval WTBS press but-tons and lugging tape recorders, troop across the campusfor interviews with prominent Institute figures, or tap theInstitute phones for conversations in which an electronicblip imachine always has the last word.

In music and in news, WTBS is learning to serve theMIT Community better each day.

Unfortunately, WTBS doesn't reach the whole campus.From transmitting lines strung in East and West Campus,it beams programs into the dormitories. But efforts to extendits coverage to the fraternities by running a wire under theCharles haev been repeatedly fruitless. The four hundredundergraduate commuters, a like number of apartmentdwellers, and virtually the whole faculty are far beyond thereach of WTBS with its present facilities.

The desirability of reaching these important elements hasprompted the Managing Board of WTBS to seek a 250-wattcommercial FM broadcasting license and a 312,500 grantto buy the necessary equipment. The Administration andstudent government have so far supported WTBS' desireto go FM, and the station should be ready to re-modulatesometime next year. With arrangements proceeding smooth-ly, WTBS announcers have alertly started to amend theirstation breaks with little slogans like: "Adding FM to bet-ter serve you . . . About to serve the entire communitythrough FM . . . The finest in FM listening will sooncome your way... FM is on its way; watch for it."

Like the rest of the campus, we will forbear the watchingand merely listen for it; yet, despite the sweet smell of allthis soft sell, we cannot help but be apprehensive aboutwhat we're going to hear. Since roughly ninety-nine percentof the potential listening audience of WBTS-FM will con-sist of non-members of the MIT Community, it seems likelythat the policy-makers will give considerable considerationto the interests of the non-MIT segment. Also consideredwill be the station's responsibility, as a "voice of MIT" tocensor material which might reflect discredit on the school'sname.

Under the present set-up, WTBS would probably nothesitate to invite Arnie Amstutz and Dean Rule to discussopen house rules, but WTBS-FM would almost certainlysteer clear of such a program. In fact, the whole campusaffairs "live coverage" effort, while it may not be curtailed,will undoubtedly be re-oriented to give primary considera-tion to the "ninety-nine percent".

Even in the music department, external pressures willprobably produce changes. Who would have thought thatHarvard's WHRB, which went FM last year, would banits listeners' favorite: folk music. Yet that has been done.

In short, we hold it quite likely that WTBS-FK al-though it will reach a much larger segment of the M~ITcommunity, will not "better serve" them-in fact thatWTBS-FM will virtually ceasc to be a campus radio station.

ence which was designed to help thesection leaders gain a better under-standing of their jobs.

To begin the Conference, Dean Rulespoke on the structure of the MITcommunity, from the Corporation andAdministration down to the studentlevel and discussed the many ways inwhich the interests of the administlra-tion and the student body often over-lap and clash, with special referenceto such cases as open house hours inthe dormitories which many memberso-f she corporation now want to cutdown or eliminate, and the Voo Doocase in which Dean Rule, himself, hasfigured prominently.

After Dean Rule's talk the groupbroke up into two discussion groups,one, led by Carl Swanson '60 on "Stu-dent Government Aims and Duties",and the other led by the chairman ofthe conference, Jaime de Sola '60, on"Freshman Orientation."

Among the ever-present problemsdiscussed iin the "Orientation" groupwere the problems posed by RushWeek. It was suggested that the in-coming freshmen be allowed to spendtwo nights in the dormitories beforethe beginning of Rush Week so thatthey could be "rushed" by the men inthe dormitories, and at least get afirst hand look at dormitory life, anexperience many MIT men never have.Dean Fassett pointed out that therewould be room in Burton House forthe whole freshman class, plus a suit-able number of upperclassmen to makethe frosh feel welcome.

The fourth annual Freshman Lead-ership Conference, sponsored by theFreshman Coolrdinating Committeewas held Dec. 7 at Endicott House.

All freshman section leaders andalternates were invited to the confer-

nagement action. Many will corm-tte requirements for a master ofence degree in industrial manage-int. All will receive Sloan Fellow-ips to help meet the cost of thear's study.

A single judge, by giving the vic-torious MIT affirmative debate teamnfourteen points less than the averagescore of his four peers, spoiled theBeavers bid for victory in the thirty-school Tufts Debate Tournament lastSaturday.

Both MIT and Princeton were unde-feated in ten debates, but the Tigersamassed 428 speaker points againstMIT's 418. Harvard finished third witha 9-1 record, losing only to Princeton.

Juniors Richard Becker and RobertHillman made up the MIT affirmativeteam, arguing that the union shopshould be illegal. On the negative sidewere sophs Wayne Hayden and Rich-ard Smith. Each team debated fivetimes, victory being decided on a pointbasis, with each participant beingawarded up to 25 points.

Becker and Hillman tied for thirdbest affirmative speaker in the tourna-ment, each with 106 out of a possible125 points. Thus they were 38 pbintsshort of the maximum, with exactlyhalf the docked points coming at thehands of the one judge.

The affirmative team defeated Harnm-ilton, Williams, Barnard, Massachu-setts U., and the University of Maine.The negatives put down Boston Uni-versity, Brandeis, St. Michaels, St.Anselm's, and Eastern Nazerine.

Next week the Beaver debaters willbe in New York for the NYU tourna-ment.

MIT rnatmen dropped their firstmeet of the season Saturday afternoonas the Tufts wrestlers defeated themn20-15. Lack of strength and an injuryin the upper weight classes seriouslyhandicapped Tech, even though theyeasily took the lower weight divisions.

Wrestling is scored on a systemwhere a pin gains a team five points;a decision victory three points and atie match two points for each team.

In the first match of the afternoon,little Don 'Weaver '60, in his first in-tercollegiate varsity competition, pin-ned his opponent in just 1 minute and

47 seconds in the 123 pound class.Tech continued strong as JamesSimonds '58 won a decision and BobBlum '59 tied the 130 and 137 poundclasses respectively.

Healthy Lead for TechNext came Mike Rosner '60, who

pinned his opponent in about six min-utes to add another five points. Atthis point in the meet MIT had ahealthy lead of 15-2. This, however,was as far as the matmen went in thescoring column.

Joe Patalive '60 lost a decision inthe 157 pound bracket, and Mike Flint'57, the team's only returning letter-man was pinned at the three minutemark. Tech forfeited the 177 poundmatch, as wrestler Bill MIartin '60 wasout with a head injury. The forfeit

by Dave Packer '59, Sports DirectorBy defeating Trinity last Saturday,

the Tech hoopsters showed what po-tential they really have; a potential.hich, unfortunately, the rooters at

the home Amherst game failed toee. For one thing, Amherst is one ofthe best teams in New England, andtheir first half press (which MIT usedsuccessfully against Trinity) panickedthe Tech five and they fell apart. Butafter seeing the team in action atSpringfield and Trinity, it is too badtlat the good crowd left the Amherstgame somewhat disillusioned aboutMIT basketball hopes.

We hope that this de-feat will notdampen spirits for the Harvard gametis Saturday. This is the big one-'the game of the week", for there isno team we would rather see fall tote cardinal and grey.

Student EnthusiasmTech has a good team-it has both

potential and spirit. What it doesDeed, and should have, is the supportof the students. It's amazing whatideline enthusiasm can do-and thereshould be plenty of it at the Harvard,game. The rally in the cage, as wellasthe "cocktail rally" at a fraternityhoase in the afternoon are definitelyastep in the right direction.

Only if we, the spectators, proveLt MIT spirit really exists, and thatwe are behind the fellows on the.ourt-only then rill Coach Burke'sboys be up to their peak.See you at the cage Saturday night.

We can make a difference.

Overcoming an early 13-0 Trinitylead, the MIT hoopsters won their firstgame of the season Saturday night bydefeating the Trinity five on theirhome court 71-65. Led by the highscoring Lee Cooper '59 and Eric Has-,eltine '59, who tallied for 19 each,MIT pulled away from their opposi-tion early in the second half, and kepttheir lead for the rest of the game.

Tech started slow, and in the firstsix minutes Tririty had pulled out toa 13-0 lead. Then center Norm How-ard '58 connected for the first Techgoal, and the team started rolling.Walt Humnann '59 put in a jump shotand made a free throw to make thescore 13-5. Trinity's Dick Schwemmput in a layup to give them 15, butTech held them there while Cooper,Howard and Burton connected.

MIT Takes LeadMIT then held the opponents to a

five point lead, and with only threeminutes left in the half started topull up closer. With the scoreboardreading 25-20, fast moving guardHerman Burton 'TO hit with a setshot, and Hasseltine sunk a reboundshot to bring Tech within one point25-24. Then, with 90 seconds left,Hasseltine made another to :put theEngineers into the lead for the firsttime 26-25. Before the halftime gunsounded. Trinity made three foul shotsto leave the halftime score ia theirfavor 28-26.

For KeepsIn the second half Tech came alive

again, shooting 44% as compared with29%7o in the opening period. The teamshovered within one basket of eachother for the next two minutes, untilwith five minutes of the period goneHasseltine connected again with a setshot, making it 34-33 in the Engi-neer's favor. Trinity never again saw

the lead, as Tech widened the gap to40-34 oln a set shot by Jordan, anotherbasket by Howard, and a tally by Has-seltine on a beautiful pass from Cap-tain Mac Jordan. Throughout thegame, Jordan played beautifully andalthough he scored only 5, his floorwolrk and passes were outstanding.

With half of the period gone Burtonfouled out, and was replaced by PaulLarsen '58.

Foul ShotsThe Engineers continued to build up

their lead, and with seven minutesleft, led by 10 points, with the score56-46. The crowvd was quite hostile tothe MIT players, and constantly heck-led them during foul shots. This, how-ever, did no harm as Tech sunk sevenout of seven in the last three minutes.

With two minutes .left in the ganmeTrinity started a move and broughtthe score to 65-61, but the free throwsof Dave Rachofsky '58, Howard andCooper brought the lead up to eightpoints, to make the score 71-63. With30 seconds left Trinity made the finalscore, and the gun sounded with theEngineers the victors 71-65.
