OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE UNDERGRADUATES OF THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Fur seniors, two graduate stu-aents, the "Technology Dames", andiie Graduate Management Society of

e School of Industrial Managementmceived Karl Taylor Compton Prizes

the Spring Convocation this morn-g. lThe seniors are Harry R. Blieden,arry B. Duane III, William C. Sal-

min, and Jay D. Schmuecker; the:aduate students are John D. Crow-iy and Douglas A. East.-The Clifford Award for the most'OUtstanding athlete of the year went:t L. Peter Hohorst '57. Other ath-j]tic awards were presented to Her-irt i. Heller '57 (best manager ofie year), Charles R. Conn II '60 (Q-

ub axward to the best freshman ath-te), and to nine others: five for ad-m'inistration of athletics, four for out-standing participation in their respec-

by the Faculty Committee on Stu-dent Environment.

Bleiden, captain of the heavyweightcrew, was cited as "a leader in theextracurricular life of the Institute".Duane, captain of the swimmingteam, married with three children,and a member of Tau Beta Pi, wasrecognized as "scholar, athlete, andgood citizen of the Institute commnu-nity".

Salmon was honored for his cworkas chairman of the Institute Commit-tee Judicial Committee during its in-vestigation of the March 2 distur-bances. Schmuecker's award sternm-mad from the Tom Clark fraternitytragedy of more than a year ago. Hechaired a special Pledge TrainingCommittee, created by the Interfra-ternity Conference, and succeeded inobtaining modifications in fraternityinitiation practices. He was honoredfor "the establishment of a true spir-it of brotherhood in the fraternities."

Crowley and East wvere named asPresident of the Graduate StudentCouncil and "leader in the affairs ofthe community of Westgate" respec-tively.

The "Technology Dames", wives ofmarried students, were especiallyhonored for "helping. . . wrives fromoverseas to become part of the Insti-tute community." The Graduate Man-agement Society was cited for "pro-motion of good relations.within the-roup and between students and fac-ulty" and for provision of "educa-tional opportunities by means of itsspeaker and discussion programs."

Twenty-three of the thirty undergraduates, who vere arrested by the police in the March 2 demonstrations, havebeen cleared of Institute charges by Judcomm and the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline. In addition, the finesimposed on eighteen students by the District Court were can llcelled after a change of plea before the Middlesex SuperiorCourt.

After their conviction, nineteen students agreed to appeal to the higher court with the exception of one, eachchanged his plea from "not guilty" to "nolo contendere," meaning, "I do not contest." Sheldon Epstein '60 refused thechange, asking for another appeal.

After the change of plea was registered, the District A ttorney's office strongly urged the Court not to accept "nolo"and to order the defendants to stand trial on the merits. An examination of the probation officers' reports and thepolice reports was made by the Judge; after a brief conference with the defense counsel, the Judge stated that he wouldaccept the pleas of "nolo". He then spoke to the defendants on their responsibilities to the community and the school,making reference to "the exceptional group at MIT." Upon concluding his talk, the Judge formally accepted the"nolo" pleas and placed the cases on file.

The legal effect of the decision is as follows: no finding of guilty, no conviction, and no criminal record whichcould be used again in any othercivil or criminal matter. All lowercourt proceedings were erased by theaction of the Superior Court, includ-ing the fines assessed by the DistrictCourt. Mr. John Connelly, counsel forsixteen of the defendants said, "Forall practical, intensive purposes, thecase is closed." Technically, however,action could be taken again, sincethere has not been a complete trialwith a definite finding.

On the week-end following the dem-onstrations, the thirty students whowere arrested, and ten others whowere implicated in the case, appearedfor open hearings before a combinedInstitute Judicial Committee. Thehearings did not constitute a court oflaw, but rather served only to betteracquaint Judcomm with the facts, sothat just decisions could be renderedin the disposition of the cases.

The findings of these hearings werejust released to The Tech by WillianmSalmon '57, chairman of Judicial Com-mittee. No names were given, but thegeneral findings were as follows: 24innocent (23 arrested), four Judcommreprimands (three arrested), two Jud-comm probations (one arrested), sixDean's Office probations, two expelledfrom the dorms, one turned over tothe Dean's Office for action, and one"split-decision". Three of 'the lastfour were arrested.

In explaining Judcomm's action,Salmon stated, "In deciding the casesof those men charged with participat-ing in the disturbance of March 2,this Committee considered the follow-ing offenses to constitute inappropri-ate behavior for a member of the MIT

RLesearch AssociateLoses Four FingersIn Chem Explosion

An MIT chemistry research asso-ciate was badly injured in an explo-sion Thursday morning in the micro-chemistry lab in building 2. The mis-hap occurred when Stephen Nagy '51was testing an unknown samplewhich had been submitted for analy-sis. Nagy lost the four fingers on hisleft hand.

After the accident Nagy was rush-ed to Massachusetts General Hospitalwhere he is still undergoing treat-ment.

The sample which Nagy wvas work-ing on was one of the many whichare submitted for analysis in theMIT laboratories. Professor Hamiltonof the Chemistry department report-ed that as of Sunday night no rec-ords on the sample had yet beenfound, making it impossible to deter-mine who had submitted the speci-men. Hamilton said, "We don't haveany idea what is in the samples;they're unknowns-that's why theyare here."

Nagy was heating the sample in atest tube when it exploded. He -,asholding the tube in his left hand, re-sulting in the immediate loss of allhis fingers except for his thumb.

A group of Colombian students atMIT have declared their enthusiasticsupport of the nation-wide uprisingthat swept their country's despotic"president", Gustavo Rojas, frompower last week-end. The group, num-bering about twenty, met in NewYork Saturday with other Colombianstudents in American universities todraft a declaration protesting againsttheir government's outrages. Whatwould have been a protest became astatement of solidarity when news ar-rived of Roja's fail early Fridaymorning.

"Before Rojas was ousted, we weresticking our necks out with the decla-ration," said Rodrigo Botero '56,speaking for the group, "now it issomewhat anti-climatic." Botero saidthat government juggling with theirspecial student dollar exchange ratewas the least of the reprisals thatmight have been in store.

The government is now in the handsof a military jutna and a coalition ofLiberals and Conservatives. Three ofthe Colombian students, Henry Eder'57, Alfonso Mejia '58, and Botere '56,though skeptical of the junta, de-clared their confidence in the coali-tion cabinet. Alberto Lleras, a Liberal,and Giuoliermo Valencia, from theConservative Party, were in the stu-dents' eyes especially capable- ofcleaning up the economic mess cre-ated by Rojas' irresponsibility.

Colombia, normally one of the mostdemocratic of the South Americancountries, had fallen for the firsttime in fifty years under the kind of

dictatorial control which has beenseen elsewhere on that continent.Gustavo Rojas maintained that hisiron grip was needed to protect Co-lornbia from the bickering of the Lib-eral and Consem'ative Parties. Hisreckless disregard for citizens' rightsand his extravagant expenditures onarms and Cadillacs led recently to thetwo Parties forming a common CivilFront. Rojas' attempt, in a tw-o-foldviolation of the constitution, to ex-tend his term of office until 1962 bycalling a rubber-stamp parliament toelect him, precipitated a generalstrike last week. Though over a hun-dred civilians were shot by govern-men.ent soldiers, the revolt was essen-tially non-violent.

"The whole country acted as a uni-fied block," said Botero. Industrialists,plagued by increasing economic re-prisals by the government, shut downtheir plants. The banks closed. Onlythe governmrnent-sponsored press re-mained in operation.

The streets of Bogata, the nation'scapital; were filled early Friday morn-ing with people shouting for Juras'ouster. In a few hours it was over;Juras had been ushered out of thecountry, bound for Spain,

Botera emphasized that this revolu-tion expressed the unanimous disgustof his countrymen for the excesses ofwhat he called a "completely fascist"dictatorship. He pointed out also thata new regime would not simply comein 6n the heels of the old, but thatthe bloodless and non-vindictive suc-cess of the Civil Front not only heldgreat promise for the country butwould be a disquieting warning todictators elsewhere in Latin America.

VALEDICTORY

With this column I complete my t hird year o f writing

fo r Philip Morris.It has been my custom in the final column of each

yea r to f orego any attempts at h umor, because you, dear

readers, have ha d your f unnybones s o frozen by th e cold

wind of impending final exams that it" is futile to try toget a laugh out of you; and because in this last column

of the year we are saying goodbye, and goodbyes are

occasions for sweet solemnity, not slapdash foolery,

Today my heart is full. I am grateful, first of all, to

the Philip Morris Company who make this column pos-

sible. They have given me a completely free hand in the

choice of subject matter; they have not tampered in any

way with my copy; they have been unfailingly courteous

and helpful. I wish to take this occasion to extend heart-

felt thanks to the makers of Philip Morris for their most

touching kindness, and to notify them that if we renew

our association for another year, I shall require a sub-

stantial increase in salary.

Second, I should like to tender my thanks to you,

dear readers. A writef's life is not an easy one. There

are an appalling number of hazards-a drought of ideas,

for one; catching your necktie in the roller of your type-

writer, for another-and when a -writer is blessed, as I

have been, with an audience as alert, as bright, as intelli-

gent as you, dear readers, then he must take his hat in

his hand and his necktie out of the typewriter and humbly

give thanks.

This, dear readers, I nowThanks for being readers. do. Thanks fo r being dear.

F inally, I wish to thank the tobacconists of Americawho make it possible for us to buy our Philip Morris

Cigarettes by the pack. If there were no tobacconists,

we should have to buy our Philip Morrises direct from

the factory in boxcar lots. This would present grave

storage problems to those of us who live in dormitories

and other substandard dwellings.

I hope, by the way, that you have been to your tobac-

conist's lately and bought some Philip Morris Cigarettes.

I have been trying to beguile you into smoking Philip

Morris Cigarettes by means of what advertising men

call the "soft sell." Indeed, I have occasionally gone

beyond the soft sell into the "limp" or "'flabby" sell. I

hope my pulpy merchandising has had its effect, for here

is an enchanting cigarette, pure, natural pleasure, a joy,

a jewel, a haven to the storm-tossed, a bower to the weary.

And in addition to being a haven, a bower, and all like

that, Philip Morris is a boon to the absent minded. No

matter which end you light, you're right!

And so goodbye. Go in peace, go in content. May

good fortune attend your ventures, may love and laughter

brighten the corners where you are. See you, hey.

OMaM Shulman, 1957

It's been a great pleasure for us, the makers of Philip Morris,

to bring you this monu men t to the soft sell each week. Till

next year, goodbye, good luck, and good smoking-tvilh

natural Philip Morris, of corris!

Judeemro Comes Through

The trials of the rioters are over and decisions have been

handed down by both the civil courts and the student

judicial committee.

It must be said that the student judicial committee

handled the situation well. They ran their hearings in an

acceptable manner and came up with decisions that even

though might not be the best, were good enough to be

accepted by the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline

with only minor changes.

The magnitude of this case is without precedent in the

judicial committee's records and there are several implica-

tions in its 'result. The Institute can be reasonably assured

o£ responsible action from the judicial committees in future

cases of student devilment. Perhaps of even greater im-

portance is the respect of the student toward the usefulness

of student government.

tohe ecllege world

Here in Cambridge, land of the Crimson, home of the

engineers, the monsoons have confirmed the presence of

finals time, otherwise known as spring. At this time it is a

simple matter to recognize the three types of individuals

comprising a student body, namely the "college boys", the

athletes and the working class.

The college boy is known to everyone. He is noted for

wearing Brooks Bros. suits with dirty white sneakers, or

dirty chinos with plaid sport jackets. He is unable to decide

which is the most natural and generally covers up the

whole works with a raincoat. it is for this privileged class

that "Little Warren Wilson Junior College has set aside

seven days as Secret Passion Week" (courtesy of the Duke

Chronicle). Let's face it. There is no justice!

In the spring, when the rain stops, many a young man's

fancy turns to . . . baseball, lacrosse, and the discus. After

all, jockstraps keep generous alumni happy and, as the

Georgia Tech Techniqzue points out, student support is in-

creasing. As an example, MIT baseball games are now

consistently drawing at least ten or eleven fans per game.

Furthermore, the locker room odor is rapidly becoming a

college boy's answer to Old Spice. Jockstraps are great,

though. Most of their friends are the college boys who act

as interpreters.

Last, and certainly least, we have the backbone of MIT,

America's hope for technological superiority, the students.

They are conspicuous for their ability to amaze their dates

With completely unrehearsed gems like, "I worked out the

neatest integral problem last week." or "Do you think it's

right for atoms to be split?"

For them comes this piece of advice by Dick Wasserman

of the Duke Chronicle: "Instead of going to an ADULT

movie or reading a dirty book, it is much cheaper to obtain

at least vicarious satisfaction by simply buying two rabbits."

After reading here about your friends and enemies, con-

sider for a minute. Have you been adequately represented,

or are you in a class by yourself ?

Captain of the frosh foot-ball team and an avid booster of thatsport, Chuck at the present heads acommittee to revive field day foot-ball. His athletics were not confinedto football only this past year though,as Chuck was a member of the win-ter Track and Field team and is nowplaying freshman lacrosse.

Intramural hockey, basketball andfootball also found him a participant,playing for the Sigma Nu teams. Thenext three years Tech will see andhear a lot about Chuck Conn as hefollows his athletic abilities.

Dick Schwaegler needs no intro-duction to MIT students for hisstandout performances are on Skiteam for the Boston papers as wellas 'The Tech are full of accounts ofhis prowess whenever he goes intoaction.

Henrickson has sparked the soccerteam with his fine play throughoutthe seasons and his award is richlydeserved.

Pep For Soft PledgeSeen In Vitamin Plan

The presence of alumni advisorshighlighted last Thursday night'smeeting of the Interfraternity Con-ference at the Hotel Continental. Theadvisors were invited in order tostrengthen the ties between theirgroup, organized about a year ago,and IFC.

Prof. Murray Horwood, who is incharge of sanitation at the Institute,was also at the meeting, and spoketo the IFC on ways of improvingsanitary and nutritional standards infraternity kitchens. His suggestionsincluded a program for educatinghouse stewards as well as a possiblearrangement through which fraterni-ties might buy food from the MITdining services. Prof. Horwood's ideaswere received with interest and thematter will be taken up again at ameeting of stewards and house man-agers in the fall.

Tom Lewis '59, of Kappa Sigma,was elected Coordinator for the IFCDance next year.

The meeting closed with a discus-sion of pledge training. There weresome who believed the restrictions ontraining procedures adopted last yearto have "swung the pendulum toofar" and felt that they should be re-laxed. A straw vote indicated thatfew houses thought they had bene-fited by having to run their programswithin the restrictions. However, thegroup was wary of reverting to theold system after only a year's trialof "soft" pledge training.

Beaver Rugby ClubLoses To Amherst;Ken Jones InjuredIntermittent rain and a muddy

field were decisive factors, as MIT'sRugby Club was downed by Amherst9-0, last Saturday on the victors'home grounds.

The Lord Jeffs opened the scoringwith a try late in the first quarter;added another in the second; and reg-istered their final tally just beforethe close of the contest, however, theymissed all three attempts for the ex-tra points.

The home team, comprised mainlyof football players, organized onlyrecently, and consequently they ob-served new rules. This made for re-ally poor rugby, and the fact thatquite a few of Tech's first-stringfifteen were unable to make the tripbecause of scholastic commitmentsdidn't improve the quality of the en-counter.

The Engineers suffered more thanthe loss of the game, as team captainKen Jones G was sidelined early inthe opening period with a pulled legtendon. The injury will prevent Kenfrom playing in the season's finalsthis Saturday afternoon, when theBeavers meet the New York RugbyClub on Briggs Field. This match willbe the second half of a home-and-home series between the two squads.The Techmen dropped the first en-counter, and will be seeking to av-enge the earlier defeat.

N. E. Sailing ChampionshipCopped By MIT As Widnall Stars

In two days racing this week-end,the Tech sailors became New Englandchampions. Topping a fleet of elevencolleges that had qualified for thefinals, MIT in twenty-two races gain-ed 200 points to top nearest competi-tor B.U. by 10 points. The racing atthe Edgewood Yacht Club on Narra-gansett Bay, Rhode Island, was mark-ed by variable conditions which testedthe versatility of all competing teams.During the first few races in Satur-day's steady, light, easterly breezes,Tech piled up an early lead. At theend of the day, MIT was on top by25 points, comfortably ahead of thensecond place Bowdoin. Bill Widnall'59 with crew Steve Strong '57 hadgained four firsts and two seconds,pacing Tech to its lead.

Sunday's racing was marked by al-most no wind. Varying from a deadcalm to a zephyr of a few knots, thelight air caused many usually consis-tent skippers to place badly. Both"A" division skipper Bill Stiles '57with crew Dennis Posey '59 and "B"division skipper Widnall were plaguedwith several bad races, but were ableto cling to the lead and go on to winthe championship and the covetedCoast Guard Alumni Bowl.

Winning of the New England'squalifies MIT to go on to the nationalchampionships to be held June 17-19at Annapolis, where the top two teamsfrom each of the four associations inthe nation will be competing for the

Frlankly, the feature is an expeiri-ment in objective reporting, andwe by definition had to inject un-biased opinions into it. However, itwvas not published without what wefelt were worthwhile reasons.

Firstly, we feel that it honestlyirated the prospects of the MITathletic teams in competition, andprovided a chance for the generalTech student to gain' prospectiveinto the doings of intercollegiateathletics on this campus. Secondly,it established a criterion by whichthe outcome of the athletic contestscould be judged, as to the relativeperformance of the MIT teams.

In the last issue of Tlhe Tech anew sports feature appealed called"Beaver Predicts This Week.' Insaid column our sports departmentattempted to predict the outcomeof the intercollegiate athletic eventsduring the following weekend. Sev-eral people have exprlessed antag-onism toward the feasibility ofsuch a column, and they in allTights deserve a hearing and sin-cere consideration.

The facts are: we predicted thatTech would win five contests andlose five contests during the pastweekend. Our ballgazing was fifty-five percent correct, but the out-come percentage was not an im-portant factor in our determina-tions. As a college newspaper spolrtsdepartment wve admit that it isplausible whether suggesting that

Oarsmen Go WinlessFrosh Heavies Shine

MIT's crews went unvictorious lastSaturday, the heavyweights bowing toRutgers at New York, and the lightsto Navy at Annapolis. The last tune-up before next week's Eastern SprintChampionships, the races failed toproduce any startling hopes for Techcrew fans-with one possible excep-tion-the frosh heavies. Coach FrankDuBois' boys turned in another prom-ising performance as they bowed toundefeated Rutgers by three feetover an unfamiliar 2-mile HarlemRiver course. By next week and cer-tainly by the IRA Regatta late inJune, the frosh should be an evenstronger contender.

The varsity heavies saw Rutgersand Columbia both cross the finishline with room to spare. In the JVrace it was Columbia victorious overRutgers and Tech.

Down at Annapolis the middiesrowed effortlessly to three straightwins.

This June, the graduates of our engi-neering and scientific schools, pocketsstuffed with job offers, have "the worldon a string."

But there's another "string" attachedto this fabulous situation: A man can

only accept one iob offer.

How canll the graduate make up hismind wisely about his vital decision?

We're not going to try .to tell you.And we're'going to resist the tempta-tion to point out the many advantagesof working for IBM-much as ourcoallny, like every' other, needs top-notch engineering and scientific talent.

We're merely going to leave you withone thouigght that may help you makeyour decision:
