by ALEX DANZBERGER

Based on the idea of providingmodern living for modern Boston-ians, the newest addition to theCharles River skyline at 100 Memo-rial Drive, formerly known as East-gate, is the most unique and futur-istic structure of its kind. Not onlyis the exterior of the building withits 'gracious picture windows andbalconies something to marvelover, but the finishing of the in-terior, including California stuccowalls and cork stone floors, is notunlike one of the more fancifulcreations from Esquire.

The building itself is placed sothat all the suites have cooling"through ventilation" in the sum-mer and .protection 'from the chillwinds of winter. The position ofthe three sections of the buildingallows more sun in winter, and pro-vides more shade in summer. Allsuites have river front exposure.

Corridors Every Third Floor-

The most unique feature of thistwelve story dwelling is that thereare corridors on every third floor.All suites above and below the fourcorridor floors are reached byprivate stairways which lead intothe alcoves adjoining the livingrooms.'Special care has been taken to

reduce sound transmission throughthe walls. Not only are there extrathick concrete walls at frequentintervals,separatedto deadening in the

The suites have been designedfor modern and efficient living.The trend of this simplified livinghas shown itself in smaller bed-rooms, more and larger closets,no separate dining rooms, and morespacious living rooms,. so as toreduce housework to a minimum.In addition to the refrigerators andgas ranges all the kitchens areequipped with G.E.

Memorandun TellsHow To TransferService Physicals

More information 'for those stu-dents at the Institute who receiveorders to report for physical exam-inations under the Selective Serv-ice System is contained in the latestmemorandum from the office ofthe Advisory Committee on MilitaryService. Thne following notice is toamend the folder on Military andSelective Service issued September18, according to Professor L. F.Hamilton, chairman of the commit-tee.

"If you receive an order to reportfor a physical examination fromyour local board in your home cityor town, you may have the exami-nation transferred to the Cambridgeor Boston area by presenting theorders in person to the nearest localboard and still remain under thejurisdiction of your home city ortown board. For information as toSelective Service headquarters, Bos-ton or Cambridge, please call atRoom 7-108. Those who are subjectto Selective Service and receivequestionnaires should call at Room7-108 to file a statement of theirstatus prior to classification 1-A."

To those who may be planningto enter the Armed Forces, Profes-sor Hamilton says that "enlistmentin the Armed Forces is difficultafter the receipt of an order to re-port for a physical examination."

(The folder containing completeinformation on Military and Selec-tive Service is available in Room7-108.)

Technotogy Sailors Finish FirstI Fie. Ten, Regain Trophy

Sailing against the stiffest compe-tition of the year, the Technologyskippers quashed the hopes of theKing's Point Merchant Mariners fora repeat victory in the ninthannual Danmark Trophy regattalast Saturday and Sunday. Toppingthe second place Mariners by fifteenpoints at the end of the two dayaffair, the Beavers regained posses-sion of the coveted trophy for thefirst time since 1945.

Facing a field of ten schools, twoless than scheduled, the Skippersled by six points at the end of thefirst day's racing. Second placeKing's Point led Coast Guard bYa mere two point margin, and Sun-day's schedule promised even moreexcitement. Then skillful skipper-ing by Beavers Howie Fawcett andBob Nickerson stretched the Techlead and cinched the meet. Mean-while third place Coast Guard hadfailed to overcome the two pointgap and had dropped to fourth,one point behind Harvard, andeleven behind the King's Pointrunners-up.

Howie Fawcett, sailing in A divi-sion, with crew Jake Kerwin, hittop score of the entire regatta with101 points in 'the ten races. Class BSkipper Bob Nickerson and crewLarry Buckland added to the scoreto compile a total of 176 points toTechnology's credit. Following theBeavers, the Merchant Mariners

totaled 161, with Harvard's Crim-sons and Coast Guard's Cadetsthird and fourth with 151 and 150points respectively.

After the top four teams cameBoston College, the DartmouthGreen and the Big Red of Cornell,Brown, Trinity, and Williams. Yale,an expected entry, arrived late andwas disqualified. McGill andToronto, previous entries, wereunable to make the trip for thefirst time.

The Danmark Trophy, one of themajor cups of the fall season, wasdonated in 1942 to the New Eng-land Intercollegiate Sailing Asso-ciation by Captain Knud Hansenof the Royal Danish Navy. CaptainHansen, in port at New Londonwith the Danish training shipDanmark, volunteered his servicesto the United States Governmentwhen the wax broke out and hisship ,was impounded, and later usedas a .Coast Guard trainling vessel.

To further the interest of inter-national collegiate competition,and to perpetuate the sportsman-ship and good feeling between ourcountry and his own, Capt. Hansendonated this trophy, named forhis ship. Competition for thistrophy is the closest event in thecollegiate sailing world to an inter-national sailing championship, andhas been so from the very start.

These men will meet ingroups of from ten to twelveonce a week with a leader whowill channel the activity of thebody into significant emotionalareas.

To establish a base line fromwhich to measure results, a seriesof psychological tests are to begiven to members of both controland experimental groups. The testsshow general personality character-istics and the degree of inner emo-tional tension and maturity in theperson tested.

Good Old DaysDr. Harris pointed out that the

small size of the average Americanfamily today does not provide toomany emotional checks and bal-ances such as were present in thelarge families of an earlier day.Thus, in a sense the experimentcan be considered an attempt toplace present-day students in suchan environment and to see how theyrespond to it.

The idea of experimental groupswith essentially normal people hasnot been widely tested. Much of theknowledge of group dynamics-hasbeen obtained from group sessionswith patients whose emotional ill-nesses incapacitated them. As aconsequence, the experiment istruly that, and may produce somevery interesting results such as im-provemient in study habits, increasein poise, and over-all emotionalmaturation.

liberalization of the curriculumissue, have assumed that I opposethe proposed greater emphasis onthe humanities. Actually, I did not,do not, and will not take a standon that issue. What I think aboutliberal arts is quite unimportant,but it is extremely important thatthose responsible for Institutepolicy be fully aware of all of theconsequences of any change in thatpolicy. My letter was intended topoint- out some of the possible un-desirable consequences of theReport's conclusions, consequenceswhich did not seem to me to havebeen given adequate Considerationin the report.

My second point is a generaliza-tion of the objections registered inmy previous letter. The Dean'sOffice has been good enough tosend me a copy of the Report, andafter a rapid scanning of thisreport, I still hold these objections.Essentially, I believe that the Edu-cational Survey Committee omittedsome very important steps on -theiranalysis, with the possible resultthat the Institute may find itselfin policy difficulties a few yearsafter the recommendations areadopted. In fairness to the Com-mittee, their omission was an excus-able one insomuch as it is a ver~common one among policy com-mittees in general, and it in n¢way detracts from the inestimablevalue of the rest of the report.

in examining a policy, a com-mittee should take the followinEsteps:

1. Investigate the history and .thepresent form of the policy in orde

to establish clearly what thepresent STATUS of the issue is.

2. In general, the presentSTATIS' will be unsatisfactory insome manner, so the committee willarrive at a list of desired CHANGES.

3. -The CANGIES will suggestvarious steps to be taken in orderto accomplish them. These stepshave been called CONCLUSIONS inthe Report.

These three steps are as muchas any committee usually doe, and

the Survey Conmittee did an excel-lenr job to this point. The follow-

ing steps, however, ard also neces-sary if sound policy is -to be formu-

lated.4. Forgetting for the moment the

desired CHANGES, the CONCLU-SIONS should be examined todetermine all the probable CON-

SEQU;ENCEs of executing the CON-OLUSIONS, as well as some of the

more disastrous possible-but-imnprobable CONSEQUENICES.

5. As a last step, the CONSE-QUENCES should be compared with

the desired CHANGES for consist-ency, and an expected STATUS,derived from the CONSEQUENCES(not the desired CHANGESJ, should

be examined for 'desirability. TheCOtNCLUSIONS may then bealtered or not depending on thefindings in this step.

My first letter was an attemptto apply steps four and five in alimited way to the specific prob-

lem of liberalization of the curri-culum. The Faculty must now per-form these steps for all the con-clusions in the Report in as efficienta manner as the Committee per-formed the first three if the In-stitute's new, policies are to besound. I might also point out thatthe procedure'suggested above isbased on the method of reasoningthat has become known as the"scientific method," and that acertain resemblance between thisscheme and the operation of aservomechanism (or any feed-backdevice) is not entirely- insignificant.

SUNDER RUBIN `50

"Fallacy of taking material outof contexi."

Dear Sir:This letter is addressed to Mr.

Sander Rubin and all other inter-ested parties.

The fallacy of taking materialout of context is well known. Eventhough a critic might do aun excel-lent job of abstracting and criticiz-ing a work, it is unfair to attackthe work on this basis alone. I do

not mean to say, that I know Mr.Rubin's comments to be out of linewith the thesis of the Lewis Report,but I do feel that only by reading

the report in the original form andunderstanding the intent of thewriters can Mr. Rubin claim anyright of criticism.

However, as Station Manager ofjWMIT, I would like to say that wewould be pleased to have Mr. Rubinand -other interested parties discussthe points at issue with the drafters

of the document. Our facilities andour staff are at the disposal of allconcerned.

however, was blocked, Northeast-ern' recovering deep in Tech's ter-ritory. With their backs -to the wallthe sophs braced, stopped theHusky drive short of success andtook the ball on downs on theirown 11 yard line. After one run-ning play was stopped cold, quar-terbaok Hall hit right end KarlEpple with a jump pass over thecenter, and Epple carried the ballfor forty yards to the midfieldstripe.

Huskies ScoreThis was the Beaver's lone offen-

sive effort of any consequence inthe first half, as poor offensive linework on backers-up and insufficientprotection for the passer disruptedany attempts at sustained drives.The Huskies, on the other hand,scored three times in this half,largely due to poor pass defenseon the part of the teavers. Theirfirst T.D. came on the ground, buteach of the next two were scoredas a result of aerials. Passes alsoaccounted for extra points afterthe first two touchdowns, althoughthe Huskies attempted a placementfor the third extra point and missedit. Just before the third touchdownwas made the Huskies were appar-ently stranded on the Beaver thirty,and there was a general feelingthat time would run out oh themsince there was less than a minuteleft in the half at this point. ButNortheastern struck swiftly in'twoplays to get their six points beforethe clock ran out.

Sophomores RollAfter halftime the Sophs came

back a new team. From the verybeginning of the third quarter theywere pushing the Huskies around,with the hard running of halfbackJack Friedenthal and fullback StetWinkfield combined with the pass-ing combination of Hall to Epplebeing responsible for most of theyardage gained. The Techmrenrolled from their own forty to theNortheastern ten before beingstopped on this drive, which con-surned the entire third quarter.

With five minutes gone in thefourth big Merill Ebner recovereda Husky fumble on the enemyfifteen. Hall carried around rightend on a bootleg play -for a nineyard gain, and then after a half-back buck was stopped cold, Hallpitched to Epple for the score. Thesame combination missed on thetry for the extra point, however.

The Sophs will scrimmage Went-worth Institute tomorrow after-noon.

Small-scale FoundryProvides Shop WorkIn etals Industries

Every Saturday in Building 35,you will find a miniature foundryin action under the auspices of theM.I.T. Experimental Foundry. Thisactivity was founded two years agoby a group of students with the helpand guidance of Professor HowardF. Taylor of the Department ofMetallurgy to meet the need forpractical shop experience on thepart of those students planning toenter the foundry industry.

M.I.T.E.F. has provided the meanswhereby interested students canwork cooperatively under combinedlaboratory and semi-productionconditions. The hours spent apply-ing the principles of science, en-gineering, and business manage-ment to foundry problems throughresearch and experimentation havebeen rewarding in terms of shop"know how," alumni claim. Theyhave found it valuable in seekingemployment and in subsequent per-formance on the job.

Opportunities GrowingIn conjunction, with its sister or-

ganization, the M.I.T. Chapter,American Foundrymen's Society,the Experimental Foundry has fos-tered and encouraged professionalinterest in the foundry industry.Opportunities are still growing:there are always problems awaitingthe Experimental Foundrymen inboth business and technical areas,members say.

Those wishing to join should havean interview with Charles R. Her-bert '52, Personnel Director, on Sat-urday between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00p.m. beginning October 14 in theFoundry Laboratory.

Each weekly winner will receivea winner's credit slip from TheTech to select his gift from theTech Coop across the street fromthe Institute. Choice of the fol-lowing: (1) Sweatshirt with MITinsignia, (2) miniature Techman,(3) large MIT banner, (4) MIT goldseal, or (5) miscellaneous equip-ment equal in value to above items.GRAND PRIZES1st Prize-2 tickets to Harvard-

of freshman crew candidates untillast fall, when it nearly sank oneday during practice. The poor oldtub was then hauled out of thewater and settled gently on thedock, where it came to rest, gushingthe Charles River through itsseams. Proclaiming it a hopelesscase, everyone who saw it agreedit should be put out of its misery.But the winter snows filled itsancient hulk, the spring thawsflushed it clear, the summer sunscorched its last layer of batteredvarnish, and now fall has comeagain, but the old white elephantis still lying out on the dock ineveryone's way. Perhaps the varsitycrewmen still want it around for oldtimes' sake-I don't know- but thepoor eyesore would be much betteroff dismantled. Time was when itsvarious components raced with thebest of them, but now it's just adecrepit heap that won't even stayafloat. Sic transit gloria mundi.

student was sentenced to fourmonths for "possession of obsceneprints for the purpose of exhibi-tion." Ah, those B.U. boys! Anythingfor a laugh! However, let's hopenobody starts investigating our ownphotographic activity too closely-it strikes me that by those stand-ards, a fairly large percentage ofmetropolitan Boston's student pop-ulation should be in jail just byvirtue of their pin-ups.
