next test, to be held on April 19, 1956,falls on a holiday. It is also an ad-vantage to have your test score assoon as possible.

Students who wish to be deferredunder the provisions of the SelectiveService System must take one of theCollege Qualification Tests and re-ceive a score of 70 or higher or be ata certain level scholastically as a full-time student (42 hours for freshmen;45 hours for all other students). It isimportant that each student know hisown test score, which may be obtainedby asking the Local Board personally.This information is not given to any-one else and will not be available untilat least a month after the date of thetest.

While a test score of 70 or highermay be the criteria by which a stu-dent is deferred, also eligible for de-ferment are second-year students whohave been in the upper-half of theirclass during the preceding academicyear, third-year students who havebeen in the upper two-thirds of theirclass during the preceding academicyear, and fourth or fifth-year studentswho have been in the upper three--fourths of their class during the pre-ceding academic year.

Rules pertaining to members of th,:Freshman Class provide for defer-ment in Class I-S or Class I-SC untilthe end of the acadenmlic year, preced-ed by a I-A classification and a phys-

Human Relations EducatorExplains Positiorn Plans ToRemove Restrictive Clauses

"All discriminatory clauses that exist at MIT fraternities are due to nationalconstitutions," says Stephen Weisskoff '57, Humans Relations Educator of IFC.The major problem faced in the removal of such clauses is the nationals, whofor many houses supply the necessary financial aid. In the nature of a nationalit is obvious that there are going to be chapters in the south, such houses arestrongly against the removal of restrictive clauses, and it is against the nature

going, and many were just standingaround talking. As a matter of il-lustrating the personalities of some ofthe people present an incompletecount was taken of articles these peo-ple brought with them. Included inin this count were 8 cots, 5 decks ofcards, 1 bass ukulele, 3 portable ra-dios, 1 deskpen, 3 sleeping bags, and4 of the ever present slide rules.

Why Were They There?Opinions of those waiting varied

greatly when asked why they werestaying at the Institute during a holi-day.

James Friedman '58 stated "thatthe house thinks it is entitled to someof my time now and then, ;and thateveryone at the house said that I havea lot to gain by staying here, so-."

John Irons '59 said, "You shouldknow why I'm here," and then addedparenthetically, "although I wonderwhy I'm here myself." He stated thathe took it for granted that this wouldbe one of his pledge duties. His part-ing statement was, "I never figuredon anything like this before I cameto college."

Mike Drew '59 complained, "Mylegs ache, my knees ache, this floorsure isn't the most comfortable onearound." Another trouble stated byDrew was, "It's the lack of womenhere that makes it hard." He sug-gested that in the future TCA shouldprovide food to those waiting.

J. P. NOTICE

There are approximately a dozentables available to the general stu.dent body for the Junior Prom onNovember 4, 1955. Tickets will be onsale in the lobby of Building 10 onWednesday, October i9 frorn 10:00a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Fr-a n klin InstitutePraises Huffman

Assistant Professor David AlbertHuffman of the Electrical Engineer-ing Department was among elevenscientists in various fields honored atthe annual Medal Day ceremonies ofthe Franklin Institute in Philadel-phia last Saturday. Seven Americans,three Britons and a Frenchman re-ceived the various awards.

Professor Huffmarn received theLouis E. Levy medal for what wastermed "his outstanding paper on'the synthesis of sequential switchingservices'." He received a Bachelor'sdegree in Electrical Engineering anda 3Master of Science IDegree fromOhio State University and finishedhis Docterate at the Institute in 1953..

Committee NamedOn Burton Housing

At last Wednesday's meeting ofthe Burton House Committee the mo-tion was presented, seconded andcarried that there should be a newtemporary subcommittee, the BurtonHouse Dormitory Development Com-mittee, which would study problemsconcerning future dormitory develop-ments at the Institute in general,Burton House in particular. LewisCohen '58 and Les Dirks '58 werenamed co-chairmen. The subcommit-tee will have as many members asDirks and Cohen deem necessary. Itwill study one, and only one, prob-lem at a time. All problems will beassigned to the subcommittee by thefull Burton House Committee. Thefirst problem was presented to thenewly-formed committee immediatelyafter its creation.

The problem assigned: The exten-sion of the cooperative operationfrom the 410 to 'the 420 section, withthe setting up of an experimentalmodel in the 420 section envisionedin the near future.

In addition to creating the Dormi-tory Development Committee, theBurton Committee elected a JudicialCommittee Chairman, Jory Shlenger'56. Reports were received from thevarious subcommittees. A few, e.g.the Hobby-Shop and Dark-Room com-mittees, reported plans for expansion.Their fate will be uncertain untilDormcom approves the Burton HouseCommittee budget.

of a national to break up, even oversuch a major issue.

The clauses under consideration fallinto four classes, religious, racial andthe -"socially acceptable", and the un-written "gentlemen's agreement." It isWeisskoff's hope to destroy the writ-ten regulations, assuming that un-written ones will die off in time.

Action taken so far this year in anattempt to destroy restrictive clauseshas included sending letters to fresh-men explaining the situation here atthe Institute, mailing copies of theDiscrimination Conference issue ofThe Tech, along with letters to thepresidents of the nationals explainingthe attitude here. In Weisskoff's words"I don't expect removal of any clausesthis year but I feel something definitewill be started."

He feels that the situation at theInstitute is "healthy" because it isthe fraternities themselves that areworking toward the removal of theserestrictions.

In discussing plans for the futureWeisskoff mentioned that he wouldlike to write to other schools inquiringas to what they had done concerningthe problem, and finishing the job ofcompiling all important informationpertinent to the subject.

Prof. itman Secretary-GeneralOf Recent Geneva Atoms Congress

"We can be assured that the peace-ful applications of atomic energy canand will be developed under adequatesafeguards for human health and thefuture of the race." This is the feel-ing of Prof. Walter G. Whitman, whorecently returned to t h e UnitedStates from the International Con-ference on the Peaceful Uses ofAtomic Energy. Prof. Whitman, whoheads the Institute's Chemical Engi-neering Department, served as Secre-tary-General of the two-week GenevaAtoms for Peace Conference held lastAugust.

In a CBS radio talk after the com-pletion of the conference, Prof. Whit-man described the meeting as "a moststimulating and exciting experience"and stated that it had "opened oureyes to the prospects of benefit toman, . . . demonstrated that the na-tions are eager to co-operate in re-alizing those benefits, and . . . shownthat their co-operation-through theUnited States-holds bright promisefor the future."

The conference was originated lastDecember when the United NationsGeneral Assembly unanimously re-solved that Secretary-General DagHammarskjold should call a scienti-fic congress to exchange informationon the peaceful uses of atomic energy.Early in February Hammarskjold ap-pointed Prof. Whitman Secretary-

General of the conference, with theresponsibility for its planning andoperation.

Although the conference itself end-ed in August, Prof. Whitman's workwill not be completed until the manypapers and discussions of the con-ference have been edited by theUnited Nations staff and printed inseveral volumes in each of four lan-guages. He expects to return to theInstitute on a full-time basis nextJanuary.

During t h e course of the sixmonths prior to the Geneva meeting,Prof. Whitman saw the conferencedevelop in both size and significancefrom the expected relatively small in-ternational scientific congress to ameeting of fourteen hundred delegatesrepresenting seventy-three nations.

During the months of preparationfor the conference Prof. Whitmanalso had what he describes as "arather unique opportunity" to ob-serve the development of internation-al co-operation. The significance ofthis experience can be illustrated bythree elements of the preparation.

First of all, the planners had toeliminate the uncertainty and "let'swait and see" attitude held by themajor nations when the conferencewas originated. By talking directlywith the responsible individuals of

To the Editor of The Tech:Dear Sir: I

It is absurdly easy to attempt towreck a structure; one needs only theblunt tools of chisel and hammerwielded by a materialistic boor. Butthe implements requisite for the erec-tion of such an edifice are the fineequipment of an artisan, in fact ofmany such scholars working in uni-son.

Certainly vhen one has achievedthe privilege of living and reapingthe fruits of the culture representedwithin an institution such as MIT,he is only too well aware of the toiland sacrifices of the scholars whomake it great. And recognizing theaesthetic values of the structure, heseeks to lay new stones, raising ithigher instead of attempting to chipout existing mortar.

Perhaps at times the edifice ap-pears drab due to the fingerprints ofthose who, not seeing its beauty, trythrough their senses to feel thatwhich makes it great. At last, in des-peration and futility, they seek totear it down, for it is something theycannot understand.

There are those at Tech who "hatethe Institute" consciously or subcon-sciously. They do this because theyare in a culture they cannot fathom.Van der Waal's forces would still bea mystery to them were they to rubtheir fingers against the forces forcons.

Of course they condemn the Insti-tute's standards. But the existingmortar is sound.

time for money, is it not? Maybe themoney saved by universal honestycould be distributed a m o n g thethieves, and thus nlake it superflu-ous for them to steal. Indeed, this isnot nearly as silly as it may sound.If one takes the law enforcementbudget for a city like New York, anddivides it by the annual number ofcriminals there, one arrives at a re-spectable annual income per thievingcapita. So, the thieves wouldn't haveto steal, the honest people could stoplocking up things, a n d everyonewould be the happier for it.

Dea6n Baker's Son

To Visit Antarctic

David Baker son of MIT's lateDean of Students Everett MooreBaker is Communications Officer on aNavy-sponsored expedition to theAntarctic. He will leave from NewHampshire, October 26, with an ad-vance group of the expedition.

This advance group will preparebases at Little America, Ross Island,and McMurdo Sound for the mainparty leaving the United States ap-proximately six months later.

This expedition is being conductedas a part of the third InternationalGeophysical Year, 1957-58. This yearis designed. to get the answers to alarge number of new questions aboutour planet that have accumulated inthe past quarter century. As a partof the coordinated plans for thisyear three chains of weather sta-tions, strung out on.three mneridianlines from the Arctic to the Antarc-tic, will chart the circulation of theatmosphere. Other outposts in theArctic and Antarctic will record in-tense electromagnetic activity thatcenters around the earth's magneticpoles and generates the beautiful dis-plays of the aurora borealis andaustralis.

For the fifth time that day, I bentdown wearily to tie my bicycle to afence. The whole laborious process: se-cure the steel rope, attach the for-bidding-looking lock, pocket the key.Suddenly, with startling clalrity, thethought occurred to me what a fan-tastic and incredible amount of wastethere exists in all our precautionsagainst dishonesty and stealing.

Let us count all the theft preven-tion gadgets and precautions we useor can see used in a lifetime, an oper-ational approach to the evaluation ofthe efficiency of social immorality,as t h e social science departmentvould put it.

To wit: all the locks and all thekeys in existence. The time wastedopening and locking innumerabledoors every single day. Not onlydoors, but also typewriters and lug-gage and pianos and windows andcars, and so forth, ad infinitum.

'ro wit: all the admission ticketsand slips and checks, and the manyother ways man uses to insure thathis fellow creature will not slip insomewhere or use something withoutpaying for it.

To wit: the army of people whoselife is devoted to check on our hon-esty. Railroad conductors and tax col-lectors and movie ushers and police-men and insurance investigators, andthousands more.

With a little effort, one could goon and on and establish quite a longlist in the same vein. How frightfullyinefficient it all seems suddenly inthis new perspective! How incredibleit strikes one to see a whole societypermeated with the mechanics andworries and gestures of guarding itspossessions from the acquisitive dis-honesty of a relatively few in itsmidst.

Imagine all the savings that couldbe made if people were honest. Andmore than the savings--the marvel-ous convenience and peace of mindof it all! No more keys, no morelocks, no more anxiety. A new senseof dignity above all, because the con-trols of dishonesty cast the shadow ofdoubt upon every one of us.

The only problem is how to achievesuch a blissful state of affairs. Quitea problem indeed! But let's see . ..why does a person steal? Most of the

"Whole Men". No longer is theCharles River Manufacturing Com-pany turning out a motley assortmentof feet, heads, and arms; the latestmodel is fully integrated, equippedwith humanities and power steering,and ready to take his place amongthe grey-flannelled riders of the 7:52local from Stamford to New York.No longer does the MIT graduatemutter something to the effect that"they told me that everything can bederived from F=ma" when the dis-cussion turns to the social character-istics of the earlier Egyptian dynas-ties. He can now discourse upon non-Western literature or the aestheticsof the t-welve-tone system with easeand confidence.

We have been told that the engi-neer of today must possess a broadsocial view. When the electrical engi-neer designs a circuit, he no longerrestricts his questions to such mat-ters as whether it will work and howmuch it will cost. He now contem-plates its possible traumatic emo-tional effects on the workers who willassemble it. When the civil engineerplans a railroad bridge, he cannot besatisfied when he is sure that thething won't fall into the river. Hemust view the structure in a socialperspective, considering whether itaccurately reflects the cultural char-acteristics of his environment.

For better or for worse, we arepart of this new generation of engi-neers. We can only speculate onwhat the representative of the oldgeneration was like. Judging from the

calumnies heaped upon his narrow-minded viewpoint, his vision wasbounded by the integral on the rightand the derivative on the left. He hadan acute allergy to anything resem-bling culture, and the mention ofit would send him scurrying to a darkcorner. He either could not or wouldnot read a printed page unless it hadeither a graph, a numerical table, oran equation on it, and after a fewyears he stopped reading altogether.He was a mystery to his wife (howanyone would want to marry him wecan't imagine) and after his sonsdiscovered that an engineer was notnecessarily someone w h o operatedrailroad trains, he became an enigmato them also. His principal redeem-ing trait was his habit of earninglarge sums of money. While otherswere attempting unsuccessfully tocorner the stocks of a large corpora-tion, he would become president ofit. And of course he would contributesizeable sums of money to his dearold alma mater.

Little has been said about the MITthat produced him. The present headsof state at the Institute are too pre-occupied with "universities polarizedabout science" and such to bothermentioning what this place used tobe like. The picture can only be re-constructed. We hear mentioned inan old school song the existence of achapel-but the present silo is of re-cent origin.:We hence might presumethat during the old days, perhaps,prayers were offered to the God ofScience in the Great Court, wherethe names of all her saints are in-scribed. Humanities must have been

nearly non-existent, except for a re-qluired course in Economic Processes,better known among the instructors inthe subject as Processing of Econo-mists. The few humanities professorsat Tech must have been looked downupon as strange and incomprehen-sible creatures of little practical val-ue, and the terms "unpractical value"and "value" were of course equated.

But now a new era has dawned,and a change has taken place in thestatus of the humanities professor.He is no longer merely a missionaryto the savages, tolerated by the tribalhierarchy. He is now a respectedmember of the MIT community. Hisoffice is located in an air-conditionedbuilding. His library is well-stockedand centrally located, while the en-gineering professors who formerlylooked down upon him with disdainare forced to secure their books inthe dark attics of Building 10. He nolonger needs to hide when he kneelsand bows five times daily in the di-rection of Harvard. No "Whole Alan"is complete without the dose of cul-ture which he injects, and he has be-come an indispensable part of themanufacturing process.

Where all this is leading to, wecan only guess. With such strangeand possibly cancerous growths asCourse XXI sprouting in all direc-tions, anything could happen. Per-haps, in not too many years, MITwill deal exclusively in the humani-ties, while Harvard will engage inthe mass production of engineers.With the Charles River Manufactur-ing Company revamping its produc-tion line, who can tell?

in his :nouncement of the million dollar bequest to the Institute'sathletic sy" n, from the late David dupont '56, at the recent convocation in3ockwell ( :e, President James R. Killian, Jr. skillfully put into wor~dsvhat we be ie to be general student opinion as well as that of the adminis-, 'ation Dr, llian, in making public the grant, stated, "This bequest empha-sizes our fi -.ng of tragedy in the loss of David du Pont, while -t the sametime leavia, .s with a feeling of the deepest appreiation for his generosity,his foresig' and his expression as a student of affection for the school."Certainly o: could not help but be filled with a feeling of gratitude to David

duPont. Ar. 'ig those not fortunate enough to have known him, this feelingmust have - .n accompanied by a curiosity as to the character and person-ality of the benefactor. He possessed intelligence, strong will, and leader-ship qualiti, . He was president of his living group, yet he ,,as at the same

tim gifted -ith humility and understanding.The stt.'ent body certainly owes a debt of gratitude to David dupont,

iin that the r-.quest opens new and definite possibilities for improved athletic~facilities. 3,re important than these improvements, however, is the possi-bility that t',e publicity given the gift and the purpose behind it, will further:raise the interest of the student body in the Institute's athletic system. Weheard a reaction to duPont's gift which said in effect, "Fine-so David

_duPont had a million dollars to give to Institute athletics. What could Ipossibly do to match that?" We wish students would realize that it's neither

,their money, nor anything material, which often is lacking, but rather theirinterest in the athletic system. All the million dollar bequests in the %world}ould not keep the Institute's whole athletic system. f rom dying tomorrow,_ere the students to show no interest. We were as proud of our school as wecould have been, when the student body voluntarily came through last spring'ith enough money to guarantee the lightweight crew a trip to the HenleyR.egatta. That spirit, however gratifying it may have been, was the excep-tion rather than the rule, and was brought about by rare circumstances.Now that Dave dupont has provided student interest with a firm foundation,wfe hope the students will follow through with the structure which only theycan provide. A suitable beginning to such a trend would be widespreadstudent participation in deciding where the million dollars will go. A ques.

,tionaire and a suggestion box in Building 10 have been proposed for this'purpose by the recently appointed Committee on Athletic Needs. At the risk,of pressing our point, we reemphasized that the only way student interest;can or will be served, is through active participation on the part of theI students.

After rolling over their first twoopponents by scores of 5-0 and 9-0respectively, the Beaver Varsity soccerteam succumbed to a powerful Am-herst squad Saturday, 3 to 0 at Am-herst. The game, billed as the decidingcontest as to which team would chal-lenge Dartmouth for the New Englandchampionship, wvas played hard andfast all the way by both sides, and atno time before the third period wasit obvious what the outcome would be.Amherst, having practiced under rainyconditions during the entire week pre-ceding the game, were clearly readyfor the miserable weather which wasto decide the type of game to beplayed. With a steady thin rain and astrong shifty wind prevailing for theduration of the game, the home teamworked well with short, low passes,keeping to a minimum the effects ofthe wind. Tech was seriously hinderedby the delayed arrival of the twostarting insides, Carols Gonzales '57,and Bernard Blaschitz '56, and by in-juries sustained by left halfback andco-captain Pete "Leaky" Dyke '56 whoseriously twisted his knee midway inthe second quarter and had to watch

the rest of the game from the bench,and by high-scoring Cel Almeida '58,who played the entire second half withhis ribs taped, due to a collision withan Amherst halfback.

The action started fast with bothteams pressing but with neither gain-ing a distinct advantage, until late inthe quarter, when a penalty was calledon Tech goalie Rudy Segovia '58, forblocking out an Amherst forward withhis body. Jeff center half Andersonblasted the subsequent penalty kick

Tech Rugby SquadTies Harvard, 0-0

Opening their home season lastSunday, the MIT Rugby Club foughtHarvard to a scoreless tie in thewind and rain, of a cold Octobermorning.

Pinned inside their own 25-yardline most of the game, Harvard es-caped defeat when a score by TomHoffman, loose forward, .was canceledby a penalty for an illegal throw ona lineup. There were many penaltykicks, but the wind prevented anyscores.

Outstanding for Tech were AllanMunck, G, stand off; Ken Jones '57,loose forward; and Dave Dahmen '58,second row.

Next game is in New York City,Satun'day, against the NYC RugbyClub. The hext home game is onField Day, Nov. 5, versus the -Mon-treal Barbarians.

out of the ]'each of Segovia to makeit 1-0 at 16:00 minutes of the per-iodNo more scoring occurred until 18:30of the second quarter-, when Amherstcenter forward Kno-wles booted theslippery ball through Segovia's out-stretched hands from about eightyards out. The half ended with thescore 2-0, Amherst. Neither team wasable to score in the third quarter-, withiseveral Engineer threats fizzling dueto wide shots. Amherst's backrieldtightened up sufficiently in the fourthquarter to stifle the Cardinal and Greyoffense. After pressing for the entirequarter, the Jeff offense clicked at17:00 when right wing Hall scoredwith a beautiful shot from fifteenyards out, for the third and finalAmherst goal.

Although the defeat does not totallyrule out the possibility for the Beaversto win the New England Champion-ships, it seriously hinders them in thatboth Amherst and Dartmouth mustlose two games during the rest of theirschedule, while the Beavers go un-defeated. The next game will beagainst Tufts at Briggs Field,Wednesday afternoon, with Tech be-ing heavy favorites.

the countries expected to be able tocontributed the most to the meetingand by encouraging informal ex-change of plans between these coun-tries, the planners soon accomplishedtheir initial goal.

The most vital element in the prep-aration was the recruiting of a groupof younger scientists to become theacfual planning and operating teamfor the conference. Early in May themembers of this team began work-ing together, nineteen men represent-ing thirteen nations from both sidesof the Iron Curtain. Directly assist-ing Prof. Whitman was Dr. ViktorVavilov, who joined him.from Mos-cow in April.

Of the many problems faced by theplanning team, one of the most diffi-cult was the selection of the. paperswhich would be scheduled for oralpresentation at Geneva, a problemwhich was particularly complex be-cause the more than one thousandpapers had been submitted by nationsrather than by individuals. To Plrof.Whitman and his associates, how-ever, the most surprising feature ofthe resultant arguments was thatthey were not between United Statesnationals and Russians, but betweenphysicists and chemists, olr betweenbiologists and metallurgists. The re-alization that co-opelration and unityof purpose had so quickly beenachieved made each of the plannersnot only far more optimistic aboutthe ultimate success of the GenevaConference but also proud of hismembership in a team of civil serv-ants of the United Nations.

Co-operation also was stronglyevinced at the conference itself, withphysicists, geologists, engineers, met-allurgists, agriculturists, geneticists,health physicists, engineelring design-ers, and many other professionalgroups each contributing. Also co-op-erating impressively were the .rnem-bers of the press,.who, even in Russia(according to Dr. Vavilov), reportedfairly and factually on the proceedingswith a minimum of sensationalism.

Young engineerpioneers in esignand sales of newtiny transistors

The germanium transistor-some smallerthan the eraser end of a pencil and able tooperate on a few thousandths of a watt-is probably one of the most promising

developments in the electronics field today.It opens the way to new midget radios, TVsets flat enough to hang on a wall and manyother exciting possibilities.

One of the men who helped design andperfect these tiny transistors-and the manwho is now head of sales for all GeneralElectric germanium products-is James H.Sweeney, Manager-Marketing, Semicon-ductor Products Department.

Sweeney's Work Interesting, Vital

As early as 1948, Sweeney was head of agroup that studied the design and possibleuses of germanium products. He gainednational recognition for his work in devel-oping and introducing these products toother industries, and when a new Sernmi-conductor Products Department was formedin 1953, Sweeney was a natural choice forthe job of marketing these products.

25,000 College Graduates at General Electric

When Sweeney came to General Electric in1941, he worked in many different depart-mernts until he finally found the work hewanted to do. Like Sweeney, each of the25,000 college-graduate employees is giventhe chance to grow, to find the work hlie doesbest, and to realize his full potential. ForGeneral Electric has long, believed this:When fresh young minds are given the free-dom to make progress, everybody benefits-the ;,,di;,dual, the company, the country.
