Letters to the Editor

April 19, 1944.ro the Editors of The Tech:

On April 14, there appeared inTHE TOCH an editorial which di-

i recced its judgement at the lasti regular meeung of the Interfratern-

,ly Conterence. Obviously, therenas been some misunderstandinganlong tne editors as to the actualsituation regarding the Latin-Amer-ican House.

at tne laSt regular meeting of theConteience it was suggested that(,ne Latin-American House be con-slcerea lor membership. The issuewas discussed seriously at someiengtn and was not promptlyiaugned down as was suggested ini-Ht; TECH. The factor which de-ieated the potential motion was thefact that tne Constitution ot rine-Conference states that: "All fratern-ities of two years' standing at theInstitute, except Interfraternityand honorary fraternities, shall beeligible to membership," Naturallythe motion in the form presentedwas out of order. Also, the editorsmust expect some dissension to anymotion that is proposed. Few, ifany motions are received with im-mediate approval.

However, it will be noted that al-though the discussion was out oforder the matter is by no meansclosed. The original proposer ofthe motion has been consulted andthe matter has been discussedfurther with him. Logically, thenext step would be to investigate thestatus of the Latin-American Houseand this has been done. Furtherconferenfces with the officers of theHouse are scheduled for the pur-pose of establishing commongrounds upon which these men canbecome more familiar with preval-ent fraternity methods. What mustnot be forgotten, is that althoughthe Conference tabled the discus-sion, the possibility of inviting theLatin-American House to send rep-resentatives to the meetings isunder consideration. No doubt, ifthe Latin-American House shouldprove its desire and ability to con-tribute to the Conference it will bewelcomed.

From such a consideration canthe suggestion be classified asignored?

Very truly yours,(signed) Peter L. QuattrochiChairman, M.I.T. Interfra-ternity Conference

To the EditorThe Tech,

Your editorial in your last issueon the I.F.C. was most appropriate.Perhaps the smug members of thatorganization will eventually awaketo the realization that they couldaccomplish something more thanthe throwing of the annual formal.I frankly expected more of the newExecutive Committee than this

To the Editor:Your editorial on the I.F.C. last

week, has caused a lot of discussionaround school, and in my opinionwas highly unfair to the I.F.C. Myprincipal objection to the editorialis the second sentence which statesthat the idea of the Latin-American House's being admitted to the Con-ference was "promptly laugheddown, and ignored on the groundsthat the house has not been inexistence for two years."

This request was neither laugheddown nor ignored. It was discussedfor a considerable length of time,and many sides of the question wereheard. In fact, the very idea that somany sides were heard was theprincipal reason for the motionwhich recommended that the Exec-utive Committee investigate the pos-sibility and report at the next meet-ing. Disbussion was heard frommany people who know men livingin the house, and more will prob-ably be heard from the executivecommittee.

Another statement in the edit,which apparently was written toprove a point, but which is entirelyirrelevant, is the statement thatthe house "is run along much thesame lines as a fraternity." There

In The Spotlight

FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR SCHOOLThe effects of the war on Technology have been so numerous

and profound that most persons are inclined to forget aboutthe little difficulties. Many of these little things grow outof the bigger ones in unexpected ways. The big effects of theArmy training program at the Institute have been obviousto everyone, but who has stopped to consider the result of the usethe Army trainees made of the drill field?

As a result of their drilling every day, come rain or shine,through dust, mud, and snow, all but a few scattered patchesof grass on the field have been killed. Everyone connected withthe Institute knows how this condition of the field came aboutand the necessity of it. Unfortunately outsiders and visitorsfail to realize what has happened and form an inferior impres-sion of the school on the basis of the below par condition of thegrounds.

Professor Carl M. F. Peterson, Superintendent of Build-ings and' Power, is doing everything he can to retain a staffcapable of keeping the Institute grounds in perfect condition,but the ever-present manpower shortage has made it impossibleto do little more than keep matters from getting worse. How-ever, he has worked out a plan by which it should be possibleto return the grounds to the superior standards maintainedbefore the war, provided the undergraduates are willing to help.

The Institute will hire students for work about the grounds.They will receive compensation at the rate of sixty cents perhour and may work Saturdays, Sundays, or any three consecutivehours on weekdays up to 6:00 P. M. Applications should bemade at the Personnel Office, Room 5-119, or at the StudentEmployment Bureau, T.C.A. Office. No experience or specialskills are required.

Here is a chance for students not only to help improvethe looks of their school but to work outdoors in the open airfor an excellent employer. The appearance of the Institute isof considerable import as many of its visitors are importantpersonages from other countries and they will carry home theimpression they receive here. The student himself should valuethe opportunity to do some healthful work in the open, a thingvery few undergraduates encounter after enrolling.

It is not sufficient to merely agree that this would be a goodthing. For the plan to succeed some students must apply forthe jobs. Those who do can be sure of receiving in -return fortheir work not only the usual monetary compensation but thethanks of the entire Institute staff and undergraduate body aswrell.

SATISFACTORY BUT NOT SUFFICIENTSince the start of the blood donor drive on February 1'0

under the direction of the M.I.T. Blood Donor Committee43 5 individuals connected with the Institute have made the tripto Boston to give their pint of blood. This amounts to over54 gallons that will go to save the lives of soldiers overseas.

Encouraged by this start the committee has decided tocontinue the drive for the duration of the war. To date theyhave worked very hard and deserve a great deal of credit for theexcellence of the start, but the final success of the drive dependson the cooperation of everyone at Technology. Why not givea little of your tinge and 10 per cent of your blood to bothsave the life of some fighting man and boost the Institute'salready large contribution to the war effort?

JVFinal Score 3 3Metcalf, Wyckoff,And Welland Score

The M.I.T. Lacrosse team openedits season last Saturday in the mudand rain of Briggs Field, as CoachCharlie Van Umberton's Beaversmet and tied the Boston LacrosseClub at 3 to 3, in a hard-foughtgame. As the Boston Lacrosse Clubis composed of former college ath-letes, the Techmen really put in agood day's work.

The game saw M.I.T. open an of-fensive that quickly sent them outin front. Using the plays that heavebeen drilled into them, the Tech-men bored their way toward theBoston Lacrosse Club's defense andtallied three times before the op-position could rally their forces.Metcalf, Wyckoff, and Welland werethe men who struck pay-dirt forM.I.T.

Boston Lacrosse Club Scores

After those lightning-swift blows,the EBoston Team reorganized theirdefense, and managed to stave offthe attacks that followed. Afterthe first seven minutes of play, inwhich M.I.T. scored its goals, thescore remain ed at 3 to unztil the|third quarter. Then the Boston La-crosse Club decided to put on adrive of their own. Charging to-ward the Tech goal, Lane drove twogoals home, and Link Redshaw,M.I.T.'s coach last year, followedup with another. Then the M.I.T.defenses tightened, and there wasno more scoring, although bothteams went all out to break thedeadlock.

Outstanding players for the M.I.T.team were Bob BEronson in the nets,Captain Jim B~rayton at attack,Pierce, and Pete Wyckoff at center.It is interesting to note that LinkRedshaw played against M.I.T. dur-ing the game, and it must havemade him happy, that his team-ma,,es met such stiff opposition.His brother succeeded him in thecoaching spot here at Tech, seemsto have taken up right where Linkleft off; building a winning team.

The Lacrosse team will play againthis Saturday, April 22 at 3:00 P.M.on Briggs Field. Their opponentswill be the Exeter Lacrosse Team.

Lights Can Find No OpponentsThe coach likes the way the

lights have been improving, stating,that they are not as jerky and arerowing better. However, it looksas though this crew is going tohave a hard time getting a race.Moch has been contacting prac-tically every college in the countryto find one with a light crew, butwithout success. The only otherlight crew is at Harvard and that,race is scheduled for June 10.

The first race of the season willbe at Annapolis with Navy, Cornell,and Columbia. The varsity heaviesand the jayvees will participate,and the jayvees will meet the sameopponents at Cornell on May 20.On June 3, Tech will race Harvardwith as many crews as we have.

More Managers Greatly

Needed At Boat IHouseCrew, Tech's most active

Sport is in urgent need of moremanagers. There are manypositions open and in order forthe sport to function smoothlythey must be filled. All thoseinterested should see Dick Ball-man at the Boat House. Be-cause of the lack of men thereis chance for rapid advance-ment and worthwhile work.

This past week, Coach Moch hascontinued his experimenting withthe varsity crew. He is still tryingto find the man to take Al Bowen'splace as stroke. Chick Street hasbeen rowing at that position prettysteadily recently, but Jorgenson wasgiven the position in yesterday's-practice. The boat as it lines upnow is: Street at stroke, Hield at,7, Kalb at 6 and captain Cook at5, Claire at 4, H-oaglund at 3. Rus-sell at 2, and Taft in the bow withGrant as coxswain. This lineup, issubject, to change at any time andis often different on the water.

The varsity boat has some bigmen, but they are not too fast asyet. They have hit racing strokein the time trials being held, butB~ob Moch is looking for bettertime. The trials ,so ftar have beenheld over the mile and five-six-teenths distance, but they will soonbe held over the full lnile and threequarters. The varsity heavies havebeen finishing about fifteen sec-onds ahead of the j ayvee, whichhas 10 seconds over the lights.

Captain Shevstov|Speaks At M.I.T.X

Russian Army OfficerDiscusses Student Life

Last Monlday afternoon, Techno- logy men and women were treated|to a lecture on student life inRussia by Captain oyrest Shevstov ofthe Russian Army. A chemistrystudent at the University of Mos-cow, Captain Shevstov volunteeredfor active service when the warbegan. After being wounded sev-eral times in front line action, the

fftwenty-five year old captain wasIchosen to come to this country asia representative of Soviet students.

Introduced by Professor NorbertiWiener, Captain Shevstov spoke in

Russian, the speech being translated|by Dr. Paul Anderson. The captain

divided his talk into two sections,52student lif e in Russia before and

during the war. The captain statedthat anyone in Russia who fin-ished the required ten years ofelementary education could go onto higher education if he so de-sired. These students get stipendsfrom the government paying fortheir tuition and living expenses.During the summer, these studentsmay travel all over the Soviet Unionfree of charge.

College Life in Russia

The captain further stated thatcollege life in these government uni-versities is very similar to that inthe United States. The course ofstudy lasts from four to five years,depending on the subject. Thereare many extra-curricular activitiescarried on including sports, drama,and music. The enrollment in theseuniversities are about 50 per centmen, even in technical courses.

When the Nazi invasion occurred,no student was drafted. About onethird, however, volunteered for ac-tive duty. Those that remained, areengaged in -war work in addition totheir studies. Since the Nazis de-stroyed all places of higher learn-ing in their retreat, the studentsare faced with the tremendous taskof rebuilding these universities andlibraries after the war.

Appreciation for U. S. Aid

In conclusion, Captain Shevstovthanked all the American studentswho contributed money, books, andinstruments for rebuilding of theUniversity of Stalingrad. After hisspeech, the audience had a questionperiod during which, the studentsfurther enlightened themselvesabout student life in Russia.

Last Tuesday night, Harvardwith the aid of their Navy men de-feated our V-12 unit in boxing.It is hard to believe, but the out-house boxers took all six bouts.However, this is no nark againstDiSavino, Hixon, Dobony, Craig,Price and Bennett, who did theirbest at a great disadvantage.

The Haav'd boys have been inconstant training for the pastthree months, taking five hours of}boxing per week and roadwork.They were in top condition and hadthe experience of a match withArmy which they won. The Techmen were suffering from an ob-vious lack of conditioning andtraining, especially since the teamwas only organized about a weekbefore the bouts. They did wellin the first rounds of their bouts,but after that it was all Harvard.

Tech Wins Wrestling

In addition, Harvard picked theweights, rounds, time, and sup-plied the officials, not that we aremaking any accusations. However,,there was one bright spot in theevening when Fletcher and Rich-ardson took the two wrestlingmatches from Harvard.

Letters to the Editor

April 19, 1944ro the Editors of The Tech:

On April 14, there appeared inlTHE TpECH an editorial which di-recced its judgement at the lastregular meeting of tne Interfraterna-iLy Conterence. Obviously, therenlas been some misunderstandingamong tne editors as to the actualsituation regarding the Latin-Amer-ican House.

At tne last regular meeting of theContelence it was suggested that6ne Latin-American House be con-slaereci tor membership. The issuewas discussed seriously at someiengtn and was not promptlyiaugned down as was suggested in-HE; TECH. The factor which de-

ieated the potential motion was thetact that tne Constatutlon oi tneConferene states that: "All fratern-ities of two years' standing at theInstitute, except Interfraternityand honorary fraternities, shall beeligible to membership." Naturallythe motion in the form presentedwas out of order. Also, the editorsmust expect some dissension to anymotion that is proposed. Few, ifany motions are received with im-mediate approval.

However, it will be noted that al-though the discussion was out oforder the matter is by no meansclosed. The original proposer ofthe motion has been consulted andthe matter has been discussedfurther with him. Logically, thenext step would be to investigate thestatus of the Latin-American Houseand this has been done. Furtherconferenrces with the officers of theHouse are scheduled for the pur-pose of establishing commongrounds upon which these men canbecome more familiar with preval-ent fraternity methods. What mustnot be forgotten, is that althoughthe Conference tabled the discus-sion, the possibility of inviting theLatin-American House to send rep-resentatives to the meetings isunder consideration. No doubt, ifthe Latin-American House shouldprove its desire and ability to con-tribute to the Conference it will bewelcomed.

From such a consideration canthe suggestion be classified asignored?

Very truly yours,(signed) Peter L. QuattrochiChairman, M.I.T. Interfra-ternity Conference

To the EditorThe Tech,

Your editorial in your last issueon the I.F.C. was most appropriate.Perhaps the smug members of thatorganization will eventually awaketo the realization that they couldaccomplish something more thanthe throwing of the annual formal.I frankly expected more of the newExecutive Committee than this"faux pas" would indicate that theyare capable of.

Managing Board This week the Spotlight swings toCarroll W. Boyce, 10-44, dance com-mitteeman extraordinary. In histhree years at the Institute Carroll,1has served on five dance commit-tees, an enviable record for anyman.

Aside from this activity, perhaps jhis best known about this hallowed Iseat of higher learning, he has done imuch else to gain renown.

Carroll entered Technology in thefall of 1941 fresh from MamoroneckHigh School in the town of Larch-mont, New York, one of the lessersuburbs of the largest city in theworld. Soon after his arrival inthe city of beans, blue laws, and nar-row streets he pledged Alpha TauOmega, and started on his careeras a Techman.

Peterson, Superintendent of Build-ings and' Power, is doing everythingo he can to retain a staffcapable of keeping the Institute grounds in perfect condition,but the ever-present manpower shortage has made it impossibleto do little more than keep matters from getting worse. How-ever, he has worked out a plan by which it should be possibleto return the grounds to the superior standards maintainedbefore the war, provided the undergraduates are willing to help.

The Institute will hire students for work about the grounds.They will receive compensation at the rate of sixty cents perhour and may work Saturdays, Sundays, or any three consecutivehours on weekdays up to 6:00 P. M. Applications should bemade at the Personnel Office, Room 5-119, or at the StudentEmployment Bureau, T.C.A. Office. No experience or specialskills are required.

Here is a chance for students not only to help improvethe looks of their school but to work outdoors in the open airfor an excellent employer. The appearance of the Institute isof considerable import as many of its visitors are importantpersonages from other countries and they will carry home theimpression they receive here. The student himself should valuethe opportunity to do some healthful work in the open, a thingvery few undergraduates encounter after enrolling.

It is not sufficient to merely agree that this would be a goodthing. For the plan to succeed some students must apply forthe jobs. Those who do can be sure of receiving inr return fortheir work not only the usual monetary compensation but thethanks of the entire Institute staff and undergraduate body aswell.

SATISFACTORY BUT NOT SUFFICIENTSince the start of the blood donor drive on February 1D

under the direction of the M.I.T. Blood Donor Committee43 5 individuals connected with the Institute have made the tripto Boston to give their pint of blood. This amounts to over54 gallons that will go to save the lives of soldiers overseas.

Encouraged by this start the committee has decided tocontinue the drive for the duration of the war. 'ho date theyhave worked very hard and-deserve a great deal of credit for theexcellence of the start, but the final success of the drive dependson the coopieration of everyone at Technology. Why not givea little of your tipe and 10 per cent of your blood to bothsave the life of some fighting man and boost the Institute'salready large contribution to the war effort?

This past week, Coach Moch hascontinued his experimenting withthe varsity crew. He is still tryingto find the man to take Al Bowen'splace as stroke. Chick Street hasbeen rowing at that position prettysteadily recently, but Jorgenson wasgiven the position in yesterday'spractice. The boat as it lines upnow is: Street at stroke, Hield at7, Kalb at 6 and captain Cook at5, Claire at 4, Hoaglund at 3, Rus-sell at 2, and Taft in the bow withGrant as coxswain. This lineup issubject to change at any time andis often different on the water.

The varsity boat has some bigmen, but they are not too fast asyet. They have hit racing strokein the time trials being held, butBob Moch is looking for bettertime. The trials so far have been,held over the mile and five-six-teenths distance, but they will soonbe held over the full mile and threequarters. The varsity heavies havebeen finishing about fifteen see-onds ahead of the jayvee, which

ihas 10 seconds over the lights.

Tech Boxers Bow'To Harvard Pro's

Last Tuesday night, Harvardwith the aid of their Navy men de-feated our V-12 unit in boxing.It is hard to believe, but the out-house boxers took all six bouts.However, this is no mark againstDiSavino, Hixon, Dobony, Craig,Price and Bennett, who did theirbest at a great disadvantage.

The Haav'd boys have been inconstant training for the pastthree months, taking five hours ofboxing per week and roadwork.They were in top condition and hadthe experience of a match withArmy which they won. The Techmen were suffering from an ob-vious lack of conditioning andtraining, especially since the teamwas only organized about a weekbefore the bouts. They did wellin the first rounds of their bouts,but after that it was all Harvard.

Tech Wins Wrestling

In addition, Harvard picked the

weights, rounds, time, and sup-

plied the officials, not that we are

making any accusations. However,

there was one bright spot in the

evening when Fletcher and Rich-ardson took the two wrestling

matches from Harvard.

Final Score 3-3Metcalf, Wyckoff,And Welland Score

The M.I.T. Lacrosse team openedits season last Saturday in the mudand rain of Briggs Field, as CoachCharlie Van Umberton's Beaversmet and tied the Boston LacrosseClub at 3 to 3, in a hard-foughtgame. As the Boston Lacrosse Clubis composed of former college ath-letes, the Techmen really put in agood day's work.

The game saw M.I.T. open an of-fensive that quickly sent them outin front. Using the plays that HIavebeen drilled into them, the Tech-men bored their way toward theBoston Lacrosse Club's defense andtallied three times before the op-position could rally their forces.Metcalf, Wyckoff, and Welland werethe men who struck pay-dirt forM.I.T.

Boston Lacrosse Club Scores

After those lightning-swift blows,the Boston Team reorganized theirdefense, and managed to stave Offthe attacks that followed. Afterthe first seven minutes of play, inwhich M.I.T. scored its goals, thescore remained at 3 to 0 until thethird quarter. Then the Boston La-crosse Club decided to put on adrive of their own. Charging to-ward the Tech goal, Lane drove twogoals home, and Link Redshaw,M.I.T.'s coach last year, followedup with another. Then the M.I.T.defenses tightened, and there wasno more scoring, although bothteams went all out to break thedeadlock.

Outstanding players for the M.I.T.team were Bob Bronson in the nets,Captain Jim Brayton at attack,Pierce, and Pete Wyckoff at center.It is interesting to note that LinkRedshaw played against M.I.T. dur-ing the game, and it must havemade him happy, that his team-mates met such stiff opposition.His brother succeeded him in thecoaching spot here at Tech, seemsto have taken up right where Linkleft off; building a winning team.

Lights Can Find No Opponents

The coach likes the way thelights have been improving, stating,that they are not as jerky and arerowing better. However, it looksas though this crew is going tohave a hard time getting a race.Moch has been contacting prac-tically every college in the countryto find one with a light crew, butwithout success. The only otherlight crew is at Harvard and that,race is scheduled for June 10.

The first race of the season willbe at Annapolis with Navy, Cornell,and Columbia. The varsity heaviesand the jayvees will participate,and the jayvees will meet the sameopponents at Cornell on May 20.o~n June 3, Tech will race Harvardwith as many crews as we have.

Captain ShevstovSpeaks At M[.I.T.

Russian Army OfficerDiscusses Student Life

Last Monday afternoon, Techno-logy men and women were treatedto a lecture on student life inRussia by Captain Orest Shevstov ofthe Russian Army. A chemistrystudent at the University of Mos-cow, Captain Shevstov volunteeredfor active service when the warbegan. After being wounded sev-eral times in front line action, thetwenty-five year old captain waschosen to come to this country asa representative of Soviet students.

Introduced by Professor NorbertWiener, Captain Shevstov spoke inRussian, the speech being translatedby Dr. Paul Anderson. The captaindivided his talk into two sections,student life in Russia before andduring the war. The captain statedthat anyone in Russia who fin-ished the required ten years ofelementary education could go onto higher education if he so de-sired. These students get stipendsfrom the government paying fortheir tuition and living expensesDuring the summer, these studentsmay travel all over the Soviet Unionfree of charge.

College Life in Russia

The captain further stated thatcollege life in these government universities is very similar to that inthe United States. The course olstudy lasts from four to five yearsdepending on the subject. Thereare many extra-curricular activitiescarried on including sports, dramaand music. The enrollment in theseuniversities 'are about 50 per cenimen, even in technical courses.

When the Nazi invasion occurredno student was drafted. About on(third, however, volunteered for ac

Etive duty. Those that remained, ar(engaged in. war work in addition Uotheir studies. Since the Nazis destroyed all places of higher learnsing in their retreat, the student~are faced with the tremendous tas]of rebuilding these universities an(libraries after the war.

| ~~Appreciation for U. S. lAidIn conclusion, Captain Shevsto'

51thanked all the American studentwho contributed money, books, awtinstruments for rebuilding of th]University of Stalingrad. After hispeech, the audience had a questioiperiod during which the studentfurther enlightened themselveabout student life in Russia.
