O a. I'd lose my ndividuality.O3 b. It's graduate school for me.a c. My mother wants me to be a doctor.

Can't argue with c), but before you checka) or b)-pencils up! There have beenaotchanges. Drastic changes in the businessscene. But changes in the vox populf attitude

garding busness . .. Xespally on campusj.u. Xst haven't kept pace.

Take the belabored point that businessturns you into a jellyfh. The men who rumost of the natio's successful firms did'tarrive by nepotism, by trusting an Ouijaboard, or by agreeg with their boses. Alongthe way. a well-moulated "No" was said.And backed up with the savvy and guts to-day's business demands.

In shorM individuality is highly prized inmuch of the business world-the succesfulmuch. Even'when the business is big. LikeWestern Electric the manufacturing and sup-ply unit of theBellM System.

We provide o.sunications equipaet for

our Bell System teammates, the Belt telephonecompanies. This takes a lot of thought, deci-sions, strong stands for our convictions, (andsometimes some mistakes... we're human,every 160,000 of us).

Individuality pays off. Not only in- raibut in personal reward as well. Like an engi-neer who knew deep down that there was abetter way to make a certain wire connector-and did. Or a WE gal who steamied time-consuning office procedures, and saved ussome $63,00 a yeu.

Rewards and accolades. For saying "No."For thinking creatively and individually. Fordoing.

Not every hour is Fun Hour, but if you'vegot imagination and individuality-you've gotit made. With a businss like Western ElectriC.We' even help you answer b) with our Tui-tion Refund progr, . Cnme on in and gofor President!

1968: ITS CAUSE AND CUREAre you still writing "1967" on your papers and letters?

I'll bet you are, you scamp! But I am not one to be harshwith those who forgot we are in a new year, for I myselfhave long been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in mysenior year at college, I wrote 1873 on my papers untilnearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally,not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fitof pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we allknow, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action.Who does not recall that famous meeting between Mr.Arthur and Louis Napoleon when, Mr. Arthur said, "Lou,I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874:" Whereupon the French.emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi que nous ettyler tu"'. Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that,gs you can imagine.)

But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 onour papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to findsomething memorable about 1968, something unique to fixit firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple be-cause, as we all know, 1968 is the first year in history thatis divisible by 2, by 5, and by 7. Take a pencil and try it:1968 divided by 2 is 984; 1968 divided by 5 is 393%; 1968divided by 7 is 281 h. This mathematical curiosity will notoccur again until the year 2079, but we will all be so busythen- celebrating the Chester A. Arthur bi-centenerarythat we will scarcely have time to be writing papers andletters and like that.

Another clever little trick to fix the year 1968 in yourmind is to remember that 1968 spelled backwards is 8691."Year" spelled backwards is '"raey' "Personna" spelledbackwards is "Annosrep"' I mention Personna because Iam paid to write this column by the makers of PersonnaSuper Stainless Steel -Blades, and they are inclined towithhold my check if I omit to mention their product.

Not, mind you, that it is any chore for me to sing thepraises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that shavesyou cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you beaming, atrouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free, a match-less blade that leaves you scratchless. If you are tired offacial slump, if you are fed up with jowl blight, tryPersonna today... available both in double-edge style andInjector style. And if I seem a bit excessive in my admira-tion for Personna, I ask you to remember that to mePersonna is more than a razor blade; it is also an employer.

.But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable as-pects of 1968 and high among them, of course, is the factthat in 1968 the entire House of Representatives standsfor election. There will, no doubt, be many lively and inter-esting contests, but none, I'll wager, quite so lively andinteresting as the one in my own district where the lead-ing candidate is none other than Chester A. Arthur!

Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president tocome out of retirement and run for.the House of Repre-sentatives. John Quincy Adams was the first. Mr. Adamsalso holds another distinction: he was the first son of apresident ever to serve as president. It is true that MartinVan Buren's son, Walter "Blinky" Van Buren, was at onetime offered the nomination for the presidency, but he,alas, had already accepted a bid to become Mad Ludwigof Bavaria. James K. Polk's son, on the other hand, be-came Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fillmore's son went intoaluminum siding. This later became known as the Mis-souri Compromise.

@ iE8, Max Shulman

In Missouri, or anywhere else, there is no compromisewith quality in Personna or- in Personna's partner inAsluing pleasre - Burma-Shave. Burma.Shave comesto you in regular or menthol. Try it. You'll find it saasbrings around any other lather.

The fall social highlight of MIT isJunior Prom, followed many monthslater by Spring Weekend, sponsored bya committee of Inscomrrm. To bridge thissocial gap the IFC re-introduced its own

>- weekend, known as Winter Weekend, a< few years ago. The IFC endeavor was

z usually a slightly paler version of thetwo large weekends, but it was a welcome

>. event to break up the long winter.This . year the IFC and Dormcon

U3 joined forces to produce an all-campus- Winter Weekend, the plans of which, as

outlined, indicate that this year's week-end will be every bit as large as the two

3 traditional ones. In fact, there is a goodo chance that Winter Weekend could

surpass the other two.It is premature to congratulate the

weekend organizers on their efforts, butit is interesting to note that they havegone about their business with very littlefanfare, which is in contrast to the greatamount of politics which surround bothJunior Prom and Spring Weekend.

Members of the Junior class executivecommittee and the class president allcampaign with the prospect of producing"a great JP" as usually the key issue(sometimes the only issue). In fact, theprincipal function of the Junior class gov-ernment may be said to be Junior Prom.Spring Weekend is even more complexin its organization. Inscomm votes on theSpring Weekend Chairman with infinite

care. This year there was more argu-ment, dissension, and confusion aboutSpring Weekend Chairman and the sub-sequent committee than any other singleissue Inscomm confronted.

The Winter Weekend chairmanship ismuch less publicized, largely an appointedoffice by the Executive Committee of theIFC. In addition, the weekend committeeworkers are neither class politicians noraspirants for the highly valued post ofSpring Weekend chairman.

We do not mean to suggest thatpoliticians cannot put on a good weekend,but the fact that the living groups canput on an equally good weekend withoutthe politics might mean that it could beworthwhile to do away with some of thepolitics.

For instance, if another Junior Promcommittee structure were organized,junior class leaders would not have tocampaign on their abilities to decoratea ballroom or judge a beauty contest, butcould devote some time to issues affectingtheir class. In addition, if Inscomm didnot have to spend hours and hours indebate over Spring Weekend Committee,it would be free to discuss more salientconcerns.

To conclude on a lighter note: Weare encouraged by the fact that the IFCand Dormcon have joined to give theentire campus a winter weekend, and wehope the endeavor is successful and apermanent one.

'Out With the old.Volume 87 of The Tech will conclude

legitimate publication with Friday'sissue. We would like to take this oppor-turtyi to congratulate the Board ofDirectors for Volume 88. Beginning nextterm, the new Board will begin publica-tion on its own. There will be, of course,

many similarities between the old andthe new The Tech, but there will probablybe some innovations and improvements,too. We do not know what they have instore for the MIT community, but weare familiar with the new members ofthe board, and we know they will serveyou well.

130. One Tech staffer, at-tempting to reach someone atthe ZBT house, picked up aphone in our office and dialedthe house number. He was as-tounded to hear nothing but aclick, and then two voices dis-cussing a quiz scheduled for thefollowing morning. Our staffmember tried fo get a word inedgewise while the other twocarried on about amine acids,and expounded long and hairychemical reaction, but it was ofno use as the conversationistscouldn't hear him. After listen-ing for a while (taking occasion-al notes), our reporter hung upand rediated the number. Again,a click and two apparently pan-icked students discussing aminoacids and the like. This time.however, when the staff mem-ber registered his dismay athaving reached the same pairagain, he was greeted by a curt,"What the hell was that?" Hequickly hung up and left thetwo as puzzled as he was.

131. Viewers of basketballgames rarely visualize the mansitfting behind the PA mike andannouncing the lineups andscores, but he does indeed exist.In fact, at the last MIT-Bafesgame, there were almost twoannouncers. The original an-nouncer had quit over a disputewith his employer, the AthleticDepartment, or at least that waswhat the department thought.So it went ahead and hired an-other student. The first an-nouncer, however, had secondthoughts, and determined thathis retirement had been hasty.He spent most of Saturdayafternoon preparing a tape re-cording of the national anthemto play at the game. Much tohis surprise, when he arrived,the new employee was securelybehind the microphone prepar-ing to announce the game. Alifttle argument ensued, endedonly by the insistence of anAthletic Official that he retire.ment, although perhaps hasty,was indeed final.

132. As the efilux of Tech.men to Wellesley began lastweek, it was not long beforeseveral funny incidents filteredback to the eyes and ears ofThe Tech. One dismayed Wel.lesleyite was seen to emergefrom a class mumbling "I sawmen today, really men. I sawfive of them today." In anotherclass, a large segment of thegirls leered at the MIT studentin the back row, lazily smokinga cigarette, and unaware ofWellesley prohibitions on smok.inq in the class. However, asthe professor said nothing, thestudent continued. In anotherlecture, Wellesley girls claimthey heard a jaw of a Techmanhit the floor as the instructorassigned a paper to be doneover the weekend.

If you never miss anothermovie, be sure that you miss"The Penthouse." Opening tonightat the Sack Cheri 1, it is a mo-vie that - above allU- lackseverything. The plot, and I usethe term loosely, consists of amaniacal intrusion by Tom andDick (Harry was waiting down-stairs) into a penthouse currentlyoccupied by Bruce, a real estateagent, and his cormsort for themoment, Barbara. Tom and Dickenter, in the guise of gas metermen, but it is quickly obvious thatgas is not their line. Also obviousis. the fact that the penthousedoes not belong to Bruce, who isjust "using it for the night."

Tied up in ribbons

Tom and Dick want to "have aparty" and, under knifepointforce Bruce into a swivel chairand tie him up with ribbons.Throughout almost the entire pic-ture, Bruce remains tied up. Itwas quickly apparent that Bruceis a rather meek and unimpres-sive chap. In fact, he was so meekand unimpressive that I was im-pressed by how meek and un-impressive he was. 1The twofellows proceed to force two fullglasses of whiskey into Barbara,all the while taunting and rebuk-ing Bruce, who now looked like

Harry's hereBut the climax of the movie

is the entrance of Harry, who'sbeen waiting downstairs. AfterT & D leave, Bruce extricateshimself with the help of Barbara,who is now looking a bit theworse for the wear. Another knockon the door and a new visitor,Miss Harold (Harry), introducesherself as Tom and Dick's paroleofficer. "Harry" resembles a pa-role officer as closely as CalvinCoolidge resembles the MGMLion. Tom and Dick mischievous-ly re-appear to supposedly apolo-gize, with the permission of Bar-bara and Bruce. But as the pic-ture draws to a close, we find thatHarry is just as nutty as her twomale companions, and the threeof them bind Barbara and Bruceonce again with more ribbons,and skip off crazily ever after.

The marquee solemnly reads,"If what happened in THE PENT-HOUSE happened to you . . . Youwouldn't want anyone to knowabout it, either." It should read,"You wouldn't want to see iteither."

Come live and work with us inSouthern California. Aside from thefact that Southern California is theadvanced technology capital of theworld, we'd also like to mention thatthe weather is great, sports and enter-tainment are unlimited, and all thegirls are beautiful.

Now about us, We're just complet-ing our first major nuclear station,the 450,000 kw capacity San Onofrefacility. It will be the largest in the U.S.

-when it completes the check-out-phaseand goes on line.

We have more nuclear stations inthe planning stages, including a combi-nation electric power and desaliniza-tion plant.

We're doing lots of work in EHVtransmission, too. And we're lookingeven further ahead to direct conversionmethods: thermionics, thermoelectrics,and magnetohydrodynamics.

Grow With UsWe must double our generating

capacity in the next eight years to keep

pace with the electrical demands ofSouthern and Central California. By1975, we'll also have doubled our totalplant and equipment investment tomore than five billion dollars. Andwe'll probably have to double again inthe eight years after that. We need topengineering talent. Electrical engi-neers, mechanical engineers, civilengineers, chemical engineers, andthermonuclear engineers.

Master's ProgramWe offer good starting salaries and

opportunities for rapid advancement.Our master's program will pick up thebills for you if youwanttoworktowardan advanced degree while employed atEdison.
