~~ NO. 17 ~~~~CAM~BRIDGE, MI~ASSACHUSETT'S, FRIDAY, APIRIL 15, 19S55 5 CE'NTS

Institute Committee held its first discussion meeting under the leadership of John Saleian on Wednesday, April 13.The session opened in the Schell Room of building 52 with all the members of Inscorem present.

The major business of the meeting was the discussion of the restrictive clause problem that exists with respect toMIT fraternities.

Saloma made a few preliminary remarks, pointing out that the problemn of fraternity restrictive clauses is an,important one which does exist at MIT. He added that we must find a solution to this problem by ourselves, and not beunduly influenced by what has been done at other schools.

George Luhrmann '56, President of the Inter-Fraternity Council, gave a resume of the position that the fraternitiesat MIT find themselves in.

There are at present 10 fraternities on campus with restrictive clauses in their constitutions. Eight of these desireto remove their clauses; t/he single religious fraternity feels its clause is justified; one wishes to retain its clause.

Two of these are t.o represent the'lfraternity bIody in its relations with

the Adrni,,istration of the Instituteand all 0thoir groups and to promote

iathe interc..is of the student body asarepresente- by the Fraternities. Thethird is to, ,,rmulate policies designed

each tre}tl- uring the school year.TIv a~P'C~ tives fromt each nemn-

bar fraternity attend the meetings.One of the representatives is the fra-ternitly 'president; the other is eitherappointed by him or elected by thefraternity.

The Executive Committee is a veryimportant organ of the IFC. It is com-posed of the Chairman, the Secretary,the Treasurer, two elected membersat large, and two memnbers ex-officiowho are the fraternity representativesto Institute Committee. The commit-tee's function is to fulfill those execu-tive duties as maty be necessary forthe efficient and proper handling ofthe business of the Conference. It re-ceives and considers all mattersbrought before it, and presents to theConference those matters consideredimportant.

The major part of the work of theIFC is carried out by the standingcommittees. It is their function toformulate statements of Inter-Fra-ternity policy requested by the Execu-tive Committee.

The important task of maintaininggood relations between the fraternitiesthemselves, the school, and the com-munity as a -whole is carried out bythe Public Relations Committee.

Social items are handled by theSocial Affairs Committee, which man-a-es the annual IFC (lance and other

lating their sundry social plans.Several committees are connected

with the rushing period. The ClearingHouse Committee, responsible for theoperation of the Clearing House dur-ing Rush Week, aids both the fratern-ities and freshman by keeping'sched-'ules of where the freshman will beduring Rush Week and keeping mess-a-es for both freshmen and thehouses.

Opening lead: Eight of spades.This wveek's hand is from the MIT

Club Championship last Saturday.The North-South pair picked up a topby making three overtricks in thenormal contlract of three no trump.Although most pairs were in three notrump, the contract was usually play-ed from the Nolrth hand. North, how-ever, made the fine waiting bid of twohearts xather than bidding two notrump and South bid the three notrump.

The opening spade lead was takenby declarer's jack. Declalrer next droveout the ace of hearts. West held upuntil the third trick, declarer discard-ing a small diamond. West could notlead a spade back without finessinghimself so he led back a small club,neatly finessing his palrtner's queen.Declarer cashed his ace of spades, andthen vwent to the board with the kingof diamonds. He cashed a heart, East

discalrdin, a diamond, declarer dis-carding the small spade. The dummy'slast healrt was led and East w assqueezed. He had to keep his clubstopper so he discarded another dia-mond. Declarer discarded a low club,took his ace and king of clubs, andled the ace of diamonds, dropping thequeen and jack. The ten of diamondstook the twelfth trick.

Declarer did not make the best playavailable. The way he played thehand, the twelfth trick depended uponWest having a doubleton honor in dia-monds. The hand can be made on anydiamond distribution by a doublesqueeze. If the clubs are cashed be-fore going to the boalrd with the kingof diamonds, West will also be "inthe vice" on the lead of the last heart.

A SCIENTIST SPEAKS"The Undergraduate Association of the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology has published thisbook . .. as a remzembrance to a friend, with the hopethat the thoughts expressed on the folloving pageswuill help to keep alive in the hearts of those whoknew him the spirit and the ideals that areKarl Taylor Compton."

This is the Foreword to A Scientist Speaks, excerpts from thespeeches of Karl T. Compton, made while he was president of theInstitute from 1930 to 1949. His words are ones which no manwhose life is to be intertwined with science and technology can wellafford to neglect--and no man today is free from the social com-plications which modern science and technology have engendered.

Scientists everywhere have often been condemned for a nar-rowness of interest and failure to understand the human implica-tions of their work. Karl Taylor Compton has been instrumentalin making sure that we have not "lost touch with philosophyamidst the competitive attractions of the ever-increasing numberof specialized sciences."

We never had the good fortune to know Karl Compton person-ally, and we did not really grasp the magnitude of our loss until-we had the opportunity to leaf through this selection, short and de-ceptively simple but packed with profound observations which arefood for a lifetime of thought. This was a man trained in sciencewho spoke of the "Age of Man's Opportunity" made possiblethrough applied science, "not an end in itself, but . . . the mostpowerful means ever discovered for supplying the opportunity tosecure the finest things of life."

Science for Dr. Compton was the means to "augmenting thedignity of life by giving faith greater reason than ever for humil-ity." A Scientist Speaks is a synopsis of Karl T. Compton's effortsto arrive at a definition of the place of science in modern society-its place in general education, in religion, in the future of civiliza-tion's development, in democracy.

No words we invent can do justice to the perception of thisgreat man. Let him speak for himself:

"One might say that all of us are prisoners within certain con-fines imposed upon us partly by accident, partly by environment,and partly by limitations of our own initiative and imagination.The purpose of a liberal education is to push these imprisoningbarriers out to much greater distances so that we have the freedomand possibility of thinking and working among the resources ofa very greatly expanded world of ideas."

"There is nothing more important in our present educationthan to develop the habit of looking for the facts and fundamentalprinciples, and training onurselves in the habit of making decisionsin accordance with the facts rather than in accordance withhunches, preconceived ideas . ."

"A man whose mind is trained to view situations objectively,to draw rational conclusions from observed facts, to plan his courseintelligently in the light of these facts and conclusions, is a manwhho is a safe citizen in a self-regulating society."

A Scientist Speaks will ever remain with us as a cherishedmemorial to a great man's mind and as the basis for a philosophyof science in the world today and tomo1rrow.

Luhrmann. It suggested that the IFCbe given chief responsibility in theremoval of the clauses. Having theinterest of the fraternities at heart,the IFC would be able to find the bestway to eliminate these clauses withoutharming the position of the fraterni-ties in their relations with the na-tional councils.

The general feeling of Inscomm wasthat some plan which did not adoptauthoritarian measures should beadopted.

I sit and wonder. The morning fil-ters through the dull court yard intomy room. Today's newspaper hasslipped from my hand onto the floor.The strife of humanity is like anugly beetle with feet of ink, besmudg-ing the printed page. everywhere,tracing out headline after headline ofthreats and death and war and fear.My eye floats dreamily through thenaked wall; I sit and wonder. I won-der with deep curiosity what it feelslike to live in a peaceful world. I canonly call upon imagination for as-sistance, not upon experience or mem-ory. My generation has never knowna peaceful world. When we wereborn, Number I, the war to end allwars (how naive that sounds today!)-was ten or fifteen years in the past.But even then it was not a sky with-out clouds. The ominous black thun-derheads showed above the horizon.Even if one averted the eyes onecould not escape the shadow of thegrowing menace. Number Two came;blood saturated the sands of time.Number Two ended. The nervous joyof the early interpeace came andwent, making way to the nerve sawof Number Two and a Half, and tothe perpetual icicle of apprehensionand fear and visions of apocalypse

and end.

So I sit and wonder what it mustfeel like to live in a period without.war. Maybe in a period like Victori-an England, or some other rare pe-riod in civilization when swords didnot flash. I wonder what it feels liketo live in peace, real, tranquil, deeppeace. It must be a good feeling. Afeeling we have never known, andprobably never will know. Somethingthat has been taken from us. A birth-right: the right of man to know peaceand to dwell in the land with theploughshare instead of the sword.

I wonder how it feels to rise in themorning, and not to wonder whetherone will go to bed at night. To pickup the morning paper and to readabout man and his achievements andthe blessings of friendship, rathelrthan about slaughter and hatred. Togo out into the sun and see signs di-recting us to parks or beauty insteadof to the nearest bombshelter. To re-joice in seeing children play happilyinstead of thinking that their futuremay be to become a heap of charredbones. I wonder what it must be like

THE MIANSFIELD SHOE WITH A

AP L i T P E RSONALITY exposure to juvenile delinquency, isleft comparatively unscathed. GlennFord plays the part of Richard Dadier,ex-Navy man, and graduate of HunterCollege. The fact that Mr. Dadiergraduated from a women's college isprobably his only claim to distinction,but Glenn Ford manages'to admirablybring forth a strong character.

When Dadier came to North ManuelTrades High School he expected thekids to be tough, but after a coupleof years in the Navy he didn't thinkthey could give him too much trouble.Sullenness and impertinence he ex-pected. Mugging, knives, and rapeweren't exactly his idea of a highschool though, nor was fighting teen-age gangs for his very life.

Even his personal life is attackedby the ruthless members of his class.His wife (Anne Francis) receives aletter claiming that Dadier is beingunfaithful; a deliberate lie, but aneffective one. Because of the anxietycaused by these letters their child isborn prematurely. Here is where thescreen writers stick their two centsworth in. Hollywood must have ahappy ending, so the child lives.

The story is violent, in both passionand action, even to the extent of pos-sible exaggerations. But one of so-ciety's most controversial subjects iseffectively brought to the screen in amotion picture you will not soon for-get.

"Blackboard Jungle" is an attempt by M.G.M. to bring to the screen oneof the top social problems of our day. The story is taken from a novel by EvanHunter. The subject is juvenile delinquency.

Screen writers seem to have a habit of trying to make every movie atypical movie even if it means changing the story a bit now and then. "Black-board Jungle" is no exception. They did limit their dirty work to the/minortheme though. The real story-the story of a young English teacher's initial

to sit down and plan oneS futureand direct one's vision beyond theimmediate moment. Rather than toput on the bitter blinders of todayand say, half cynically and half re-gretfully "who can make plans todaywhen tomorrow is uncertain and may-be doomed."

I wonder, w-ith curiosity and a lit-tle sadness, for I will never know.Reality and history take me by thehand and courteously escort me outof my dream. it seems to me I canhear children of tomorrow sigh.

However, never argue with success isalways the motto of a non-hatedkibitzer.

The Engineer sailors opened theirseason at the Naval Academy with afourth place in the McMillan Cup Re-gatta. This meet is the only intercol-legiate event sailed in big boats, usingNavy's 44 foot yawls. Sailing for MITwere Nick Newman '56, Allain DeBere'55, and Fred Brooks '55.

Last Sunday, back in dinghys andthe River Charles, the skippers werebeset by high winds and numerouscapsizes, causing the quadrangular re-gatta held here to be cancelled. Bow-doin, B.U., Boston College and Techcompeted, with MIT and B.C. tied forthe lead when the meet was called, acombination of cold, choppy water andstrong winds making further sailingimpossible. Tech sailors were seniorsJohn Wing, Nick Newman, and DickMateles, juniors Steve Strong, GeorgeBarry, Steve Freedman, and BobNorthrup and Bill Stiles '57.

The Freshmen started off their sea-son with a first place, winning an oc-tagonal meet held here Saturday.Coming from behind in the last race,with a first in B. division by JessWallace and a third in A by Bill Blaik-lock, the 58'ers edged out BU's girlsby two points. Third was URI, follow-ed by Bowdoin and RISD. Blaiklockcontributed 34 counters and Wallace31 to Tech's total. Crews were JimBarber and Dick McCullough.

Next weekend the varsity facesHarvard in a dual meet that is alwayshotly contested, then splits up on Sun-day to defend the Sharpe Trophy atBrown and sail a triangular meet withHarvard and Babson. Then the yearl-ing skippers go down to the CoastGuard Academy for the New Englandchampionship eliminations.

7-3

In Poorly Played ContestIn its first league game the lacrosse

team vent down to a 7-3 loss at thehands of a sloppy Tufts squad. MIT,however, was the sloppier of the two

-teams as the Beavers lost their earlylead, fell behind and were unable torecover the mrnargin.

At the half the score was tied attwo all, but Tech overconfidence ledto slipshod play and the Jumbos pick-ed up two and three points in the lasttwo periods.

Tech led at the start with a fastgoal by Walt Frye on an assist fromCaptain Pete Toohy '55. The rest ofthe first period remained scoreless. Inthe second frame Tufts evened it upbut this did not last as Marks nettedanother for the Engineers. Towardsthe end of the half, the Jumbos evenedup the score at 2-2.

Tufts picked up in the third quarterand went. ahead by two points. Theypicked up three more in the final roundbut with the game almost over DickWade '57 picked up a consolation pointfor the Martinmnen.

-The Tech Photo--Nelo Scklcr

A green MIT lacrosse squad lost itsopening game last Saturday to theBoston Lacrosse Club, composed most-ly of experienced grads and sparkedby Tech grad Bill Oliver. The Beaverswere hopelessly outclassed'and drop-ped the game 14-2.

The team was playing far betterthan the score would indicate but theveteran lacrosse players were a littletoo much for the Tech men. MIT'sonly goals were by captain PeteToohy '55 and "Leaky" Dyke '56.

Oliver was high for the BLC with fourshots past the Tech goalie.

Vacation HurtsSpring vacation upset the engineer's

practice sessions. With only one scrim-mage behind them, they had to faceone of the best teams in the area withless than three weeks training. Theyhave a squad which should improveover the season. The Beavers' stand-out was Malrios Gerakaris '56, who isback on defense after a year on thefront line as an attack man.

Tho MIT Lacrosse Team

Again a standout for MIT was"Gerry" Gerakaris with his fine de-fensive play. He is the strong pointin the backfield. SparKing Tufts teamwas Shaw who scored three.

The team next faces MiddleburyCollege this Saturday on Briggs Fieldin what should be a close game. OnPatriots Day, next Tuesday, they facethe University of North Carolina inanother home game. This game is un-scheduled but should also be close asboth teams are evenly matched.

Under - watchful eyes of severalniajor le, *., scouts, the MIT baseball

Steanm sue. ibed to a perennially pow-elful Hia :rd nine, 6-0, at SoldiersField lasti uesday. The game malrked

the open of 1955 Greater BostonLeague 7. and left the Engineersstill 0ok - for their initial win ofthe youn: oason.

AI Hau :.'55, started on the moundfor the Y .vers but the cold, dampiweather s ned to bother him. Beforehe could -i"m up the Cantab sluggers

,broke lose with four hits and as marnyruns in ti_ second. Hauser was far,f.lm the .excellent form he showedIearlier in the season when he heldUipsala of East Orange, New Jersey(the engineers' last opponent on theirrecent southern road trip), to five hits

Pwhile going the distance. The cold[weather seemed to effect his controlL great deal as he walked five men

iin his one and two-third inning stint.Ken Rossano drew the starting as-

Lsignment for the Crimson and com-ipletely baffled the Engineers for sevenpinnings. His control was excellent asShe struck out five and walked none.'The four Beaver hits were wvell scat-tered, making the start of a rallyditicult. Phil Trussel '56, was the only

;batsman who could -et to Rossano asIhe banged out two singles in as nmany

trips to the plate. Bob Kessler cameon for Harvard in the eighth but thisplroved to be even worse as he held theBeaver batsmen hitless for the lasttwo innings.

Gift Weber '55, followed Hauser tothe mound in the second and scatteredfive Harvard hits through the remain-ing innings while allowing two runs.Nat Botsford had two hits for thevictors, including a double whileSimourian came through with a bigdouble in the second inning rally.

Steve Ohlson '56, put on the maskfor the first time in his life and dida good job with the Beaver catchingchores for the last two innings.

The Beaver nine was up for thisgame after the 9 to 2 defeat they suf-fered at the hands of the Crimson lastseason. The Crimson got only four hitsin that encounter but the Tech pit-chers handed the game away withfourteen walks, exactly twice as manyas Hauser and Weber allowed on Tues-day.

Aaron Copland, the celebratedAmerican composer, rehearsed hisnewest work, Canticle of Freedom,with members of the MIT Choral So-ciety, Glee Club, and Symphony Or-chestra on Monday night. This work,described by Copland as an "allegroof two themes, building up to a cli-max, then returning to the originaltheme, and ending with a choral coda. . . (for lack of a better name . . .'choral finale' sounds too long.)', wascommissioned by the Institute a yearago for the dedication of the KresgeAuditorium. When Klaus Liepmann,Music Director, discussed the newwvork Wiith Copland, the composeroriginally considered a completely or-chestral piece, but on learning of thelarge chorus available, he expandedthe Canticle of Freedom to includevoice parts. The work then grew froma length of 8 minutes to 15. Coplandbegan work on it in December andcompleted it only last month.

The text is a rather obscure poc.--nby John Barbour (1320-1395). It cameto Copland's attention in a musicalsetting by Chavez. The theme of thepoem is:

Freedom is a noble thing.Freedom makes man to have liking.Freedom all solace to man gives,lie lives at ease that freely lives.For free liking is yearned forOver all other thing.Nor he that aye have lived freeMay know well the misery, the

anger;And the wretched doom that is

coupled to foul thralldom.Freedom is a noble thing!Canticlc of Freedom follows in the

same vein as Copland's earlier worksdealing with Americana, Billy the'id, Appalachian. Spring, and Qutict

City.In commenting on Ca??ticl, Profes-

ser Liepmann said, "It's a festivepiece, optimistic and joyful. It is al-together appropriate to the occasionon which it will be performed . . . Iam also proud that . . . MIT . . .has been willing to commission a newmusical work for the dedication of itsnew buildings. I have long felt thatuniversities should assume their prop-er place as patrons of the arts. it istheir responsibility."
