Sig Ep Captures First in TechSing; Egbert Awarded to Bexley

The 1959 Field Day will include thetug of war, the glove fight, and twonew events, a boat race and a totempole relay. This plan was approvedby Institute Conmmittee Thursdaynight, after it had been presented byWalter Humann '59, president ofBeaver Key, which will sponsor theField Day. It is scheduled to be heldon Junior Prom Weekend, in conjunc-tion with an All Sports Day, to berun by the Athletic Association.

The perennial songsters of Sigmalhi Epsilon have once more run away

with high honors at the Baton So-ety's annual " All Tech Sing." The

inning group, which has placed firstfor three of the past four years, pre-sented an impressive thirty-five voicegee club.

Second honors 'went to BurtonHouse, with runner-up Beta Theta Pifinishing in third position. The co-eds fronm Bexley Hall took homethe "Egbert" award.

Mlaster of ceremonies TheodoreWood, Associate Professor of Human-ities, got the evening off to a flyingtart with his wry comments on the

state of modern music, and "thatgreat treat . modern radio!" Lam-enting the passing of good music,Professor Wood extolled the virtues ofgroup harmony and appealed to theMIT community to bend unending ef-forts to stamping out the "leatherjacket, rock 'n roll, transistor radioin ear crowd," which he said threat-ens to overrun us all.

Led by- songmasters Paul Mc-Keown '59 and Jerry Flower '58, theSig Ep's presented, "Salvation Belong-eh to Our God," Riu Riu Chiu," and'Oh Lowd, I'm on My Way." Thearge group is a tradition with the

fraternity, and has won each year ithas been entered. Last year, depart-~g from custom, Sig Ep entered adouble sextet, but could do no betterthan third. This being the third winin four years for the fraternity, theyretired the Tech Sing Cup.

Beta Theta Pi, which won thirdplace honors, entered a seven-mangroup, led by Hup Martin '60, andsang "Dry Bones," "Old PorchChairs," and "Jolly Greeks."

~ Flield DaEkberg '59, president of the AthleticAssociation. When AA abolished FieldDay exactly one year and four daysago, they gave as their reason,"Field day athletics hurt teams here,and they detract from our pride invictory during interschool contests."Last Thursday, with formal athleticsnot under consideration, the objectionto the four organized mob events wasthat some people might hurt them-selves. However, Ekberg's was theonly dissenting vote on three of thefour proposals.

Facuity Picture Book ProposalGetsInstitute CommzitteeApprovalA proposal for a "Faculty Picture

Book" was approved by the InstituteCommittee Thursday. The plan callsfor a directory, which would includepictures and a biography of eachmember of the faculty and admniinis-tration, and would be offered free tostudents.More Complete Than Present Edition

Such a book is presently in limitedcirculation, but, according to the ad-vocates of the plan, there is notenough information included, and itdoes not reach enough of the MITcommunity. The new book, whichwould be arranged in alphabetical ord-er except for principal officers of theadministration who would be in aspecial section in the front, willinclude for each man such details asname, position, where and when born,education, degrees earned, positionsheld, awards and honors, achieve-ments, and a small amount of person-al information like hobbies and ma-rital status.

Second Frosh PollTo Probe SourcesOfFaIl inEnthus iasm

The sociological survey of the classof 1961 is due to continue until allfunds are exhausted, according to Dr.Leila Sussmann and Mr. Gene Le-vine, authors of the report. Speakingat a special conference Thursdaynight, they said they plan to givethe freshmen another questionnaire,similar to the one given this pastsummer. The purpose of this ques-tionnaire is said to be to determinethe loss of "gung-ho-ness" and the"severe disillusionment" among MITstudents.

Although the Institute Committee isattempting to raise $6,000 to completethe report through June, and eventu-ally a quarter of a million dollars fora. full four-year study, the wholeplan has received criticism from out-side observers and the authors them-selves. At Thursday night's confer-ence, Dr. Ernst Levy expressed hisdisagreement with the behavioristicand statistical assumptions upon whichthe report was based. He said, "Theinformation . . . wxvill be interestingbut irrelevant. We must work forwhat education should be, not whatpeople want it to be."

Dr. Levy continued, "I am opposedto the individual's being consideredsecond to the community . . . Our in-toxication with the success of scienceshould not stop our asking, 'Whatmethods are appropriate?' . . . Thispoll cannot help us find our princi-ples, ideas, and purposes . . . Educa-tion must not look for guidance fromsocial statistics."

(Continued on page 3)

not yet definite but tentative plansare to distribute the book free toeither just those who express inter-est in it, or else to all members ofthe student body. The book will becopyrighted by those organizationswhose members contribute to it, Sec-retariet, Public Relations Committee,Tech Engineering ~News, and WTBS,according to its sponsors.

Some Faculty Opposition MetThe plan will be submitted to a

Faculty committee soon by Dean Rule;somie opposition has already beenshown, however, by certain membersof the faculty and administration whofear that uneven coverage will resultin a decrease of faculty morale.

A second imposing problem is thatof financial backing, though no fig-ures are yet available. It is intendedthat a pilot model, covering threefull professors, three associates, andthree assistants, will be prepared asa financial experiment to determinethe cost of the actual publicationwhich will include over five hunderdmen.

Robert Samberg '60, originator ofthe proposal, said, in a statement Sun-day, "It is my hope that the informa-tion contained in this book will pre-sent to the students of MIT an ac-curate picture of the faculty and ad-ministration of the Institute, and thushelp to inspire among the studentbody a spirit of belonging to an ed-ucational community of unparalleledequality and stature."

,y ProposalsN'o Hazing

Walt Humann made the additionalpoint that, in accordance with theInscomm resolution, hazing would notbe tolerated during Field Day. PaulEkberg convinced several members ofof Inscomm that hazing would defi-nitely come back, but the majoritydisagreed.

The new events of a totem polerelay and a boat race are designedto allow maximum participation withminimum destruction. For example,an event such as took place when oneFreshman class gassed a sophomoremug lift with home made tear gaswould not be encouraged. Rather,these two events are designed tofoster creative talents.

Boat RaceThe boat race on the Charles

would take place immediately beforethe All-Sports day crew race. Theboats would be built by members ofthe classes competing from spareparts gleaned from local dumps, andcertified by members of the NavalArchitecture Department. As manypeople as possible would help roxwthe boat; however, the team whoseboat didn't sink would get extrapoints.

The totem pole relay race wouldinvolve teams of about twenty-fivemen from each class who would runthe length of Briggs Field bearinga symbolic totem pole. The shaftwould be a telephone pole, obtainedfrom some nearby locality, and orn-ately decorated with abstruse baroquesymbols. Linda Greiner '60, presidentof the Association of Women Stu-dents, said that the coeds would bedelighted to help decorate the poles.

One suggestion raised would haveeach totem pole erected at some suit-able spot on camnpus with a plaquecommemorating the event. UAP Jer-ry Stephenson '59 vetoed the idea, say-ing, "I can see some people kickinglike crazy as soon as we start plant-ing telephone poles around the Insti-tute."

Glove Fight BackThe tug of war and classic glove

fight, features of past field days,would be reinstated, and severalevents would be planned for precedingweekends to build up to a climax onfield day. This would be similar tothe idea of the Purple Shaft, which

Three events are coincident with the coming of Cam-bridge spring: the year's first crew race, the Boston Mara-thon and the opening of the Gin and Tonic season.Patriot's Day having come and gone and with it disturb-ingly warm breezes, the time has come to put away Scotchand ice and take to the seasonable refreshment.No longer necessary is a warming drink but a cooland refreshing one. Beer still belongs and many continueto enjoy it but the man who feels undressed on theCharles bank on a Saturday afternoon without a blazer,boater and ducks is incomplete without a frosty bluetinted glass.Any place is a. good place for a drink and any timeis cocktail (excuse the Americanism) time, but thereis no place and no time like a warm, spring Saturdayon a gaily crowded colorful riverbank, for those wholike a convivial glass or two; and, although wine glasseshave been seen on the river is ever afloat with cans,Gin is king.For a time vodka was de rigueur on Madison Avenue;but now, the Russian potato liquor having made its wayto the orange juice and coke set, it is, without doubt to allas it always has been to the select few, out of place.Gordon's is the standby gin, although Beefeater's ispreferred, and rightly so, by the affluent. There are othersbut these are reliable and generally available. It is pos-sible to economize, but if you try to do so lab alky is asgood and much cheaper.Two top-grade tonics are available here; Schweppes,of course, and equally good Cock and Bull. Of theothers only Canada Dry is worth tuppence. Tonic (prop-erly quinine water as distinguished from the Massachu-settsism for any carbonated beverage) is the most ex-pensive of mixers and the quality bottles are worth theextra pennies. There are of course those who prefersweet summer drinks -the majority of them women -but few are worth their salt if they persist to drink, otherthan out of politeness, these concoctions. There is, however,an exception. A worthy bartender can mix a topflite ginsling, Pimmis Cup, the available counterpart, is - al-though tres chic some years back - of little regard.The purist will mix his gin and tonic with lime andonly fresh lime makes for a first rate drink, the variouspackaged varieties being hardly palatable. The innovator,however, will enjoy a more unorthodox mixture. Fillinga large high-ball glass with ice, adding gin and tonicin almost equal quantities and finishing with the juiceof a half-lemon and the lemon peel and pulp, he willblend a drink to mix with the spring breezes and laterone that will enable the hottest sun to be ignored.

-Jeffrey Chaucer

tollogoe woadThere's no use denying it. Spring is here for sure. Andwith it have come all sorts of good things, all long awaitedfor. Things like cutting classes to enjoy the grass of thegreat court, along with all the secretaries, professors, andother class cutters. Things like Saturday afternoons (andFriday and Sunday too, c ome to think o f i t,), when youcan't do anything at all except lie in the sun and maybedrink a cold beer or two, and maybe later go for a ride insomebody's convertible. And the Pops, with the fifty- centsecond balcony seats that are better than most of the otherseats, where you can wear straw hats and bermudas, andsmuggle a few beers in under your coat, which is cord, ofcourse. All these things and lots of others are here, and I

say they're not one damn bit too soon.The ,Hamilton College Spectator quotes a freshman whosums up the whole f reshma n h istory course: "Everyth ing

which happened before the French Revolution led up toit; everything after was a result of it." I seem to remembersome similar impressions during one course last year, whenI spent several long evenings trying to manufacture manywise pages of causes and effects of that particular revolu-tion, about which I knew next to nothing, and cared less.A fraternity brother of mine is pinned to a girl atDePauw, and he receives their newspaper regularly. Ac-cording to him, the following incident actually happened.Seems one of the literary honorary societies on campus washolding their formal initiation. Ihe candidates, all blind-folded, of course, stood outside the meeting hall, facinga wall. The person who was watching them left for a mo-ment to go into the meeting. At this point our heroes enterthe scene. Commanding, in a mystic voice, one young ladyto "Follow me", the heroes led her to an awaiting auto-mobile, where they relieved her of her fifty dollars initia-tion fee, drove her to the edge of town, and let her out.Now that's what I call taking advantage of a good educa-

Under the Roofs of ParisUnder the Roofs of Paris, the Brattle's current offering,is of interest solely as an early "talkie". Billed as ReneCair's first sound film, it was made before M. Clair haddeveloped his talents in that milieu. Roofs is a "talkie" butit most certainly is not talky. In many places, the soundtrack is restricted to background music while the charactersspeak on, incomprehensible to those who, like most, cannotlipread French. There are English titles but they are more

limited than the dialogue.The p lot is a rather simple o ne b ut i t manages, neverthe-less, to be as unconvincing as possible. Fortunately theprincipal characters are a singer and pretty girl and the girlis pretty and the songs pleasant. Thrown in for goodmeasure are a Parisian tough guy (with black mustache)and numerous local low lifts. The setting is uniformly dulleven for Paris, a sort of Scollay Square sans neon.M. Clair has managed a few interesting shots, but gen-erally the photography is of no appreciable significance.It also has the herky-jerky quality of the old-time cinema.Generally, Under the Roofs of Paris, is one of the un-distinguished drama-comedy mixtures (in which neitherare successful) of 1930 B pictures seen on off hours tele-vision. Probably, Roofs, apart from its historical interest,wou ld be bes t lef t fo r the French equivalent or the LateLate Show.Also showing, is an arty short featuring (from left toright) Renoir, Seurat and Picasso.

The Punched-CardFieshman

Professor Levy is one of the few who have questionedthe wisdom of reducing MIT freshmen to punched cards.Speaking at a recent conference, he opposed the aims andfound irrelevant the results of the sociological inquiry con-ducted by Miss Sussmann and Mr. Levine. In this he oughtto be seconded.The sociologist, whether he likes it or not, must developand work from a "model". In Me present case, the modeltakes the form of a set of "types" or, better, "slots" into-which incoming freshmen can be fitted. At first, Miss Suss-mann sought the "average" freshman; now she is broaden-ing into such categories as the "longhairs, bohemians, poli-ticians, and playboys". Her study seeks truth through detail.No amount of detail, however, can obscure the fact thatstudies of this kind fail to reveal the tremendous potentialfor creativity and individuality which resides in each andevery entering freshman. The Institute will not get veryfar with an approach which defines the MIT freshman asone thousand divided by one thousand. Nor will we bemuch better off knowing that the entering class breaksdown into so many playboys, so many politicians, so manyvegetables.

It will be argued that information of this sort betterenables the Administration and Faculty to suit our intellec-tual and social environment to the entering classes. Thebasic premise behind such an argument departs radicallyfrom customary concepts of education. Once upon a timethe colleges and universities taught certain material becauseit was believed that this material was valuable in itself andought to be perpetuated. It was exclusively the school'sdecision which subjects were taught. There is now a dangerthat curricula will be oriented so as to coincide with theintellectual character of the incoming classes. Though thismay not sound very dangerous or very radical, it means agradual leveling of standards and a deterioration of out-put. And it means that the people-and there are many ofthem-who refuse to fit sociologicaly defined slots will findit increasingly difficult to forge an intellectual and socialcharacter which they can call their own.Institute Committee is hoping for a quarter million grantwith which to complete the Sussmann-Levine study. Whatan incredible vase! We should get on with the job ofimproving teaching salaries and expanding educationalfacilities before throwing so much money down this drain.

Vther substitutes for the glove fight,such as a greased pig or greased pole0ontest, were rejected. A Georgia-Tech-styie pushball contest, in whicha huge inflated ball is pushed aroundhe field by the opposing classes, was

SUSSMANN(Continued fromn page 1)

Dr. Sussmann was quick to agreewith Dr. Levy that, in its presentform, the poll could not possibly beused to formulate policy. She said,however, that a full four-year surveywould have useful manipulational im-plications.

The talk was organized by theOrthodox Christian Fellowship. Oth-er speakers wvere Dr. Lemoyne White,MIT psychiatrist, Dean WilliamSpeer, and Dean Frederick Fassett,.Vho moderated.

Dr. Sussmann, who is a professorof sociology at Wellesley College,told an audience of over one hundredstudents and administration officialssome of the aims and future plans ofthe work. She adduced an example ofsome similar work she had done inthis field, involving an engineeringfirm which had complained to her,"Our men are not as happy as wewould like them to be."

THE POSTMAN COMETHI have recently received several letters from readers whichhave been so interesting, so piquant, so je ne sais quoi, that Ifeel I must share them with all of you. The letters and myreplies follow:FIR:

Maybe you can help me. I came up to college eight yearsago. On my very first day I got into a bridge game in thestudent union. I am still in the same bridge game. I have nevergone to class, cracked a book, or paid any tuition. All I dois play bridge.

To explain my long absence and keep the money comingfrom home, I told a harmless little lie. I said I was in medicalschool. This nade Dad (my father) terribly proud. It alsoenabled me to keep playing bridge. We were both very happy.

But all good things must come to an end. Mine ended whenI came home for Christmas vacation. I arrived to find thatSister (my sister) was in the hospital with an ingrown spleen.Dr. Norbert Sigafoos, the eminent ingrown spleen surgeon, wasscheduled to operate, hut unfortunately he was run over bya hot-food cart on the way to the scrubbing room.

"Oh, never mind," chuckled Dad (my father). "Harlow (me)will fix Sister (my sister)."

Well sir, what could I do? if I told the truth I would make alaughingstock out of Dad (my father) who had been braggingabout me all over town. Also I would get yanked out of schoolwhich would be a dirty sharme just when I am beginning tounderstand the weak club bid.

There was nothing for it but to brazen it out. I got Sister(my sister) apart all right, but I must confess myself completelyat a loss as to how to put her back together again. Can yousuggest anything? They're getting pretty surly around here.

Sincerely,Harlow Protein

Dear Harlow:Indeed I do have the solution for you-the

solution that has never failed me when thingsclose in: Light up a Marlboro! Knots untie asyou puff that fine rich tobacco. Shade becomeslight as that grand flavor comes freely and friend-lily through that splendid filter. Who can stayglum when Marlboro gives you such a lot to like?Not I. Not you. Not nobody.

SIR:

Just off the campus where I go to school there is a lakecalled Lake Widgiwagan. Thirty years ago when my father wasan undergraduate here he went fishing one day in Lake Widgi-wagan and dropped his Deke pin in the water. He dived fordays but never found it.

Just yesterday-thirty years later, mark you !--I went fish-ing in Widgiwagan. I caught a four-pound bass. I took thefish home, cut it open, and what do you think I found inside?

You guessed it! Two tickets to the Delnpsey-Firpo fight.

posedly democratic policymakingwhich wasn't, and confused lines ofauthority. At this point, a memberof the aulience asked whether therewas any analogy between this situa-tion and the MIT Administration andInstitute Committee.

Looking For CharactersDr. Sussmann regretted that she

hadl not covered coeds, commuters,foreign students, all the ramificationsof dormitory life, and the social castesin campus activities. She said thatshe was looking for "longhairs, bo-hemians, politicians, and playboys" oncampus, and also wished to investigaterumors of a "poolroom gang."

The problem of publicizing the re-ports was raised by a member of theaudience who said that all he knewabout the report was what he hadread in the school newspaper. Ex-UAPArnie Amstutz '58 explained that 250copies had been distributed and thatit was hoped that everyone who wasinterested in the matter would havea chance to see a copy. However,those people who asked for copiesThursday found that there were nomore available. Amstutz said the re-port might be reissued if the demandis great enough, and if the two dol-lars per copy can be raised.

The question of financing the reportis now the biggest obstacle barringits completion, according to Amstutz.Dr. Sussman has recommended thatthe study be followed through fouryears here and several years aftergraduation. It is estimated that sucha program will cost $250,000.

To date, $7,500 has been spent -$2,500 put up by Inscomm and the re-maining $5,000 by the administration.It will cost an estimated $9,000 to fin-ish the work through June, of which$S,000 has already been raised. Thereis a possibility that a foundationgrant for a full-scale report may beobtained.

Methods to Alleviate Lack of StaffIn Colleges Sought by NSA Meeting

The last meeting of the NationalStudent Association, which was heldat Trinity College, Hartford, Con-necticut, last Friday and Saturday,discussed the problems of increasingeducational burdens.

Thisyear the "hush hush" Egbert turnedout to be a do-it-yourself sports-man's dinner kit, complete with liverabbits, a manual of breeding habitsand a one year supply of rabbit food.

Phone CorrectionsThere were two errors in the

list of fraternity phones recentlypublished in The Tech: Delta Up-silon should be 2328, while PhiKappa should be 2307.

All of the phones are on two-party lines, so the other party onyour line cannot be contacted. Ifyou are calling from a phone hav-ing an even number, the otherparty on your line would havethe next higher number; if youare calling from an old extensionnumber, the other party wouldhave the next lower number.

MIT was represented by Jerry Ste-phenson '59, UAP, Stewart Wilson '59The Tech editor, George Henry '59MIT-NSA co-ordinator, and ShelahLerner '61, PRC member.

The meeting agreed to implementseveral projects which have begunin pilot form under a $25,000 grantof the Fund for the Advancementof Education. These projects, de-signed to alleviate the growing pres-sure of educa 'onal demands on col-lege staffs. 'ye been tried out atTrinity Coll, itself as well as atMt.

aThe varsity sailors placed third in

a hotly contested battle for the Bos-toll Dinghy Club Cup, defeating eightother colleges. Rivals Harvard andBoston University placed first andsecond ahead of the T~chmen. Theregatta was sailed in ideal conditionsor. the Thames River at the CoastGuard Academy in New London, Con-necticut.

Bill Widnall '59 sparked Tech's ef-fort, winning 7 out of his 11 DivisionA races. Widnall, with crew Bob Hop-kins '60, -was high point skipper for theregatta with 118 points. However, sev-eral errors in B division cost Tech thevictory. Near the end of Saturday'sracing, Tech was in the lead on totalpoints. But, B division skipper DennisPosey '59, with crew Will Johnson '59then fouled the Coast Guard boat.Disqualification from that race putTech into third, behind Harvard andB. U. Fighting back in the five re-maining races in each division, Wid-nall aced four firsts in A division,wThile Posey placed consistently highin B division. With two races to go,Tech was again in first place. Wid-nall then placed seventh in his lastrace putting Tech one point behindB. U. The pressure again on, Poseytook to the water. It appeared thatPosey had won the regatta by finish-ing two places ahead of B. U., how-ever the B. U. skipper registered aprotest against Posey for a foul atthe weather mark. After a long de-liberation, the race committee subse-quently disqualified Posey, againthrowing Tech out of first into thirdplace for the final standings.

Lacrmssemen parry as they add another victory to their perfect conference record.

Trouncing Worcester by a decisivemargin Saturday, the varsity lacrosse;eam added its third straight victoryn conference competition to an un-

held their opponents scoreless in a,moothly played contest.

WPI never had a chance as theCaldinal and Grey took off to anearly lead and controlled the ball forhe entire game, adding further proofto the observation that the lacrossesquad could be MIT's top spring sport.

WPI Pitches ChangeupTwo days aftel their glorious vic-

tory over Halvard the Engineer Ninereturned to normal, suffering two de-feats at the hands of WPI.

The opener of the two seven-inn-ing contests began early in thebalmy afternoon. WPI drew firstblood scoring one run in the bottomof the first. In the top of the secondWarren Goodnow was hit by a pitchedball, stole second, and was driven inby Bob Hecht's single to center.

In their next five at bats the boysfrom Worcester got five more runsfor a total of six in the first game.The engineers tried to come back inthe top of the seventh, but with basesloaded and no outs they could getonly one run as Mike Morimnoto '60stole home.

The second game was a completefiasco; WPI took it 20-5. In the spaceof two frames, three hits, four walksand six errors accounted for tenWorcester runs. On the bright sidewas the long lead-off home run byBob Witte and the 400-foot home runwith two men on from the bat ofWarren Goodnov.

Cloudless skies and balmy weath-ex crowned the opening of the crewseason as the lightweights bowed topowerful Harvard crews in four suc-cessive races.

Rowing against a slight wind whichmade the water below the bridgechoppy, the varsity shell kept evenwith the Crimson in the first quartermile of the Henley distance (one andfive-sixteenths miles), but Harvardmanaged to pull out to a length bythe bridge.

Looking smooth throughout therace, MIT picked up the stroke at thebridge, and looked like they weregoing to close the gap. They pulledup to within half a length at Bakerhouse, but dropped back again asHarvard powered into a beautifulsprint. Keeping it up for the rest ofthe race, the -Crimson widened thegap to three lengths to finish thedistance in 7:24.0. The losers pulledacross the line in 7:38.0.

The MIT oarsmen will get anotherchance at Harvard this Saturday onthe Charles, in a race which will alsoinclude a strong Navy team.

In the preliminaries Harvardswamped the Tech freshmen and Jun-ior varsity.

The JV Ltoat stayed even with theCantabs until the bridge, three quart-ers of a mile from the finish butonce again the Harvard sprint leftthem trailing by three lengths as theflag went down. Halward's time was7:44.2, with MIT nine seconds behind.Brown, also in the race as a guest ofHarvard never' put up a fight, trailingin over a minute behind MIT.

The opening contest of the after-noon will be a rematch of the MITand Harvard Fresh lights that tangledlast Saturday with the Cantabs leaving

Ad- have taken advantage of the goodweather this week for extensive prac-tice and could well surprise the boysfrom up the river.

Crimson in the Junior Varsity 150-lb.contest. Although Harvard beat the En-gineers last weekend by a scant boat-

length, this race looks to be a three-way battle with the Annapolis eightrating a slight edge.

Scheduled for five o'clock is theVarsity lightweight race to feature thesame three schools as the JVR en-counter. Beaver Coach Val Skov '55and team captain and coxswain AlPhilippe '58 are hoping to improveover their showing of last week whichsaw the Cantabs finish fourteen sec-onds ahead.

At the request of the Departmentsof Military, Navy, and Air Science,Acting-President Julius A. Strattonhas decreed May 6 as Institute Mili-tary Day. A parade and review willbe held on Brigg's Field at 4 p.m.Classes for all freshmen and sopho-mores will be cancelled for that pe-riod.

rand Promnenade of the 1955 Assemblies Ball. This photograph, supplied by the A-BallCommittee, was taken by Technique and ran on page 131 of fhe 1956 yearbook.

The Technique photographer haseen barrned from coverage of the958 Assemblies Ball. John Brackett39, Editor-in-Chief of TechniqueJ959, said Wednesday that after ne-,otiations with the Executive Com-nittee of A-Ball, he was unable toIbtain satisfactory arrangements foriking pictures of the event. In par-icular, the photographer was to beimited to "ten or less" shots, ande was to take pictures only at!mes and places specified by the Com-

face masks or any other armor orpadding. It was requested that nopictures be taken of this event, asthe flash bulbs going off could causea bad accident, according to Mr.Rose. Such details of the dance asthe intermission entertainment havetraditionally been kept a closelyguarded secret until the pemform-ance.

The Assemblies Ball, twenty-fourthin the series, is given annually by theWalker Memorial Student Staff. Atthe ball, which lasts from ten p.m.until three a.m., white tie and tailsare de rigeur. Among the features ofthe event are a receiving line forguests which will include PresidentStratton, Mrs. Compton, and DeanBowditch, Fassett, and Thresher. Atmidnight the entire party will ascendto the third floor Walker Gymnas-ium for a buffet and pouring cere-mony.

The Athletic Association's objectionto the recently approved Beaver KeyField Day has been summed up byPaul Ekburg, '58, AA president, as be-ing simply an objection to hazing.

Ekburg, who cast the only dissent-ing vote on three of the four facetsof the field day plan, stated that hefelt it almost impossible that a fieldday, pitting freshman against sopho-more, could be held without its beingpreceded by interclass hazing. Thishazing would be completely againstexisting Institute policy.

He felt that the idea of havingfreshman-sophomore rivalry is entire-ly purposeless, stating that he did notsee how driving the classes togetherfor a week or so could contribute any-thing lasting to class organization orspirit.

Ekburg further questioned the ad-visability of promoting this class di-vision, even if Field Day could ac-complish it, for he felt that inbuilding such class loyalty, MIT loyal-ty is lost. The only possible good fea-tulre which he could find in the planwas the personal enjoyment of theparties participating. He stressed,however, that this is only individualgain, and does not necessarily advancethe reputation or standing of MIT asan educational institution. He also feltthat such rivalry and hazing was notfor the good of the student, particu-larly the freshman, who finds him-

self tied up for a period of time insomething wlorthless, when he couldbetter be adjusting to the scholasticlife of the Institute.

Despite these feelings, however-, theAthletic Association intends to donothing to try to thwart the plan,as its administration is entirely in thehands of Inscom-m and Beaver Key.The AA will cooperate in co-ordinatingthis program with scheduling of oth-er athletic events, but will not ac-tively promote Field Day.

Beaver Key SeleetsFour New Members

Four new mernbers were -electedto the Beaver Key at its regularmeeting last Tuesday, April 22. Beav-er Key is the honorary society whosemembers are "descrving of recogni-tion for their activities' record."

The newr members are: Allan Buf-ferd '59, president of Burton House;John Comerford '59, holder of severalvarsity athletic letters; LeRoy Coop-er '59, president of T Club; and Eu-gene Zoba, JudCon member active inEast .Campus affairs.

Beaver Key is continuing throughthe spring season to provide cider anddonuts to contestants after all homeg'alllces.

In light of these facts, it haseen planned to eliminate coveragei the A-Ball completely from nextear's Technique; this is a decidedreak with tradition, as Techniqueas photographed the dance up tohe present time. The dance will beoered by photographers from the

0stn Herald Society section ande A-1ail's own "semi-professional"hOtographer. Brackett comments onhis: "These actions on the part ofhe Assemblies Ball appear to showheir desire for publicity for them-

!elves at a high level, but their lackf regard for the MIT community."arl Rose '58; Chairman of the A-a11 Executive Committee, was not
