    DEAR REB:I'm a regular Renoir on the canvas, but on campus I just don't seemto make the scene. There was one campus cutie that used to admire mypaintings, but now she's too busy admiring some guy's new DodgeDart. She says riding in this guy's Dart is like art; every time they go out,they draw a crowd. What can I do? I just have to see this girl again.It's not that I'm in love with her, I haven't finished her portrait yet.

    Pick and chooseDuring the past few years more than

    two-thirds of each freshman class hasaccepted the MIT fraternity system's in-vitation to attend Rush Week.

    Because of a shortage of undergrad-uate housing and the economics of run-ning 28 independent fraternity houses,this particular yearly madness is heldin the five days preceding freshman or-ientation, which itself precedes the be-ginning of the fall term.

    Given the utter inability of each rush-ing freshman to see and evaluate morethan a handful of the 28 houses, it wouldseem to be only sensible that Interfrater-

    O nity Council do everything in its power- to supply each rushee with the maximumW amount of pertinent information about- each fraternity.

    One very pertinent piece of informa-tion which should be included in eachhouse rushing booklet is whether ornot that house, because of clauses in itsnational charter or for other reasons,discriminates against any racial or relig-ious group of rushees.

    Some people may argue that every-one knows which fraternities do or donot exclude Negroes, Orientals, or Jews.These people fail to realize how manyentering freshmen come from either non-college backgrounds or at least non-Greek backgrounds, and have littleknowledge of this unsavory side ofrushing.

    Many freshmen know nothing aboutfraternities except that they might wantto live in one. If these students happento be members of a minority group it iscertain that they would feel much morecomfortable rushing with a sure knowl-edge of which houses will and will notwelcome them.

    It should be pointed out that mostof the MIT fraternities do not discrimin-ate at all in their rushing, and thatmany of them are model groups of stu-dents from widely differing racial andreligious backgrounds.

    As for those fraternities who do dis-criminate, the practice should at leastbe publicly acknowledged to the incom-ing freshmen. If these houses areashamed of the practice, then we suggestthat they eliminate it, even at the costof withdrawing from an unenlightenednational organization.

    Several years ago the Institute Corm-mittee gave the undergraduate Associa-tion President the power to require thatfraternities acknowledge discriminatorypractices in their rush material. OneUAP who did require such a listing foundhis political effectiveness decrease duringthe rest of his term as some fraternitiesstruck back. This power has been eitherignored or forgotten by succeedingUAP's. Perhaps the matter hasn't beencritical enough for a UAP to risk thepossibility of accomplishments in otherfields.

    In any event we feel that the matteris the responsibility of the Interfraterni-ty Council, not the Undergraduate As-sociation, and we urge the TC to requirethat discriminatory practices be listed inrush material from here on out.

    Good receptionSaturday evening the then newly in-

    augurated President of the Institute willbe entertaining undergraduates at a re-ception-dance in the newly renamed duPont Athletic Center Gymasium.

    - Hopefully, the undergraduate studentbody doesn't need to be urged to takeadvantage of this opportunity to meetMIT's new president and demonstratetheir wish for his successful term of ad-ministration.

    After all, the Johnson, with help froma student planning committee, have ar-ranged an evening which will makemeeting the president an extremely en-joyable task. Lester Lanin's well knownorchestra will entertain in the Armory(the d.P.A.C.G.), while lesser groups willbe playing in the Sala and the Lobdellrooms of the Student Center.

    I iA workman pressure-rolling the

    Iowa State football field receiveda surprise when a homemadebomb exploded on the 45 yardline, triggered by the weight ofthe roller. The incident happenedSaturday, several hours before theIowa State - Nebraska footballgame.

    Authorities said the bomb wasdesigned to be triggered by firstfootball player to step on it duringthe game. The extent of injurythat could have been inflicted wasnot estimated. As it was, nobodywas injured in the explosion thatblasted a "small hole" in the turf.FBI agents were notified of thebomb, which had been buried sev-eral inches underground by an un-.known culprit.

    Unnecessary roughnessUniversity officials commented

    that the field was accessible toanyone at almost anytime, butnothing similar had ever happenedat the campus before.

    If the bomb had been detonatedduring the game, it could have re-sulted in "unnecessary roughness"during a tackle, a "jet-propelled"lunge for extra yardage, or pre-haps even a huddle broken' upseveral seconds early.

    Candid Camera visited TulaneUniversity in New Orleans duringthe summer, and several Tulanecoeds are still blushing.

    One of the four victims, DeanieSouth, says she was called intothe dean's office, but they wouldnot tell her the reason. Upon ar-

    rival, she saw several other stu.dents waiting, but she was quick-ly ushered into an inner office con-taining four "very serious" look-ing men.

    Mr. Peterson, the acting deanof students, arose, shook her hand,and presented her with a stainlesssteel ring as an award for notwalking on the grass during theschool year. "I thought somebodywas crazy somewhere," she com-mented afterwards. She hadwalked on lawns quite regularly.

    Another victim, Dollie Hurtig,was likewise summoned to Peter-son's office and presented With asimilar award for using her postalzip code most often.

    When 'deans play tricks on students it is beyond reproach, butwhen students play tricks on otherstudents it is an entirely differentstory.

    Saps

    Apparently however, Saps onother campuses arouse less con-troversy than they do at MIT. The"SAPS" at Tulane University arethe "Student Auxiliary Police," aspecially trained body of studentssupplementing the regular policeforce in such matters on capPUSas traffic control, property protec-tion, and handling emergencycalls. The program is so successfulthat the size of the force has beenincreased over last year fromnthree to 12 students, and manYinquiries have come from collegesall over the nation desiring simi-lar programs.

    Souath rises againIt seems that the large building

    that iis the focus of student activi-ties, commonly known on mIany

    campuses as "The Student

    Union," has been renamed the"Student Center" at Virginia Tech

    SCEP Chairman Mike Telson'67 raised the question of whetherMIT students would prefer theirgrades to be based upon a rigid,objective test system or a moresubjective instructor evaluation.General feeling was that studentopinions would vary, and the sug-gestion was made to develop asystem which could incorporateboth ideas, allowing the studentto choose which he preferred fora particular course.

    Better feedback suggestedTo better institute curricular re-

    forms UAP Frank March sug-gested a more dynamic educa-tional system, based on increasedstudent feedback. Increased jointmeetings between student andfaculty committees and furtherdevelopment of combined student-faculty groups were suggested.The possibility of having the un-dergraduate body represented onon policy-making faculty commit-tees is currently being analyzed.

    Student apathyFinal discussions centered on

    the apathy of much of the stu-dent body regarding undergradu-ate association government. Thegeneral feeling was conveyed thatmost students did not realize theimpact that the undergraduate atMIT has on formulating policieswhich govern his four-year stayat the Institute.

Aftersome fine close-ups of a gyratingnavel she tries to coax our heroBeau Geste (Guy Stockwell indisguise) into something more in-timate. In the finest tradition ofthe French Foreign Legion andof nmilk-drinking American cow-boys, he puts her off: -like manya young Legionnaire, he has alsosworn off the life. that e ran

    away from. In that other life wasa woman and an unfaithful busi-ness partner; and so Beau Gestehas washed his hands of life.

    But as soon as he encountersFrench strong-man Sergeant d'A-ginot (Telly Savallas), disciplin-arian of the post, he gets en-tangled again. The story is builtaround their conflict: the rest ofthe Legionnaires, who are mor-tally afraid of the Sergeant, wor-ship Beau Geste because he isthe only one courageous enoughto stand up to him. The Ameri-can hero, whose real pseudonymis Graves, finds himself cast intoa role he does not wish to play.

    Conflicting characters

    Nevertheless, he is forced toplay it by d'Aginot himself. TheSergeant has a heart that is blackthrough and through. He hatesGraves with a passion and doeseverything he can to provoke anoutburst of temper from him. And

    so they go on, probing for eachother's weak spots, through thearrival of Beau Geste's brother atthe post, through the unsucess

    ful mutiny of the Legionnaires,

    and through several fierce at.

    tacks by the Arabs, until one ofthem finally triumphs over the

    other.

    This may be one of the better

    adventure films to come out ofHollywood, with its beautiful col-

    or vistas of the Sahara Desert

    and screaming Blue Men of Mo-rocco. 'Beau Geste' rages on at

    a furious clip reminiscent of Davy

    Crockett at the Alamo. In place

    of the music of, the Alamo, the

    producer wove into the movie

    some symbolism, undoubtedly

    drawn from the book.Colorful battles

    Notwithstanding its obviously

    Hollywood origin, the bad jokes

    and fake characters were kept

    to a minimum. Even the hero

    had almost done something bad

    when he was in the United

    States. The battle scenes are cer-

    tainly fulfilling, with soldiers fall-

    ing off the lookout tower, plenty

    of blood and gore, gobs of smoke

    and fire. A couple of beautifullyironic touches, like the Sergeant's

    attempt to make casual conver-

    sation to a soldier: 'Well, where

    are those big dreams now?' orsomething to that effect. No re-

    ply. Dead men tell no tales, asthey say on the Spanish Main.

    Coed sainling teamtakes initial meet

    Wind, rain and stormy weathernot only has no effect on post-men, but does not deter the LITWoman's Sailing Team fromwinning regattas.

    The girls placed first in a re-gatta hosted by Jackson on therainy afternoon of October -1.MIT's final score was 44, onepoint: more than the second placeteam, Jackson. Held at TuftsYacht Club, the competition wasdivided into two divisions withRuth McDowell '67 and Alix Smul-lin '68 skippering for MIT in Aand B Division respectively.Since many schools did not showup, the regatta consisted of fourraces for each division.

    Tech Show '67 is making amove toward more serious the-ater. Its goal is a musical showthat can stand up on the merits.of its book, music, and lyricswithout leaning on the excessiveuse of MIT "in" jokes. The in-evitable references to MIT willstill be there, but, unlike pastshows, this year's humor will beaimed at a wider audience.

    MIT sailed boats which werelighter than usual, and were inex-perienced in the lighter dinghies.Another factor, that of tides, hurtthe team. Those unusual sailingconditions plus a few little mis-takes account for MIT's thirdplace finish. Overhall boat speedlooked good, however, and theteam should be improving overthe season.

    The New England Inter-collegi-ate Sailing Association will holddivision B eliminations at CoastGuard Saturday. MIT will be therein 24-foot sloops. The Jack WoodTrophy Regatta will be conductedat MIT Sunday. This regatta isalso composed wholly of dinghies,with two varsity boats, one juniorvarsity boat, and one freshmanboat. All boats will count towardthe trophy. Instead of having skip-pers assigned to each boat, every-one who sails shares the skipper-ing. As a result of this rule, ateam will have to have depth towin, since everyone must be ablelo skipper. Since MIT has depthin its sailing squad, they shoulddo well in Sunday's home regatta.

    ry Banner '68, Tom Thomas '69,and Greg Cast '69 turned in 86,87, and 93 respectively. TrailingTech was Vermont, the defendingchamps, Plattsburg, and PotsdamCollege.

    Saturday's round saw Bannerhitting fifteen greens in regula-tion, dropping four birdie putts,and bogeying the three greens hemissed. His 70 was low round forthe tournament and broke the ex-isting course record. Gerry's 156ranked him second to Moreland,who missed a short putt on thesixteenth green to register a 71.Tom Thomas shot a 75 in spite ofputting problems, to earn sixthplace in the tournament. Gamblealso had his troubles on the green,but scored a 78 and finished infifth place. Greg Kast reboundedwith a 76 while Rector shot a 79.Totaling their four best rounds,the engineers had a 644.

    Carleton dropped into thirdplace four shots behind MIT, butSir George Williams managed tohold onto part of their lead towin the tournament. Gordy Pin-dar of Carleton tied Banner withan 81- 75 - 156, but Tech's juniorstar was awarded the runner-uptrophy for his sizzling 70.

    Coach Merriman is hoping forbetter weather this coming week-end when the team travels toBurlington, Vermont to competein the ECAC qualifying round ofeighteen holes. Two teams andten individuals will qualify for thefinals to be held Oct. 15 at BethPage Park on Long Island.

    but was halted by a goal line stand

    Ed Jones '68 opened the second

    half with a DU interception and

    scampered back to the ten. Twvo

    Sophomore Walt Suchon's extrapoint made the score 13-0 DU.

    The final score came at the endof a sustained drive capitalized bya five yard run by quarterbackDucsik. Especially outstanding wasthe DU line headed by DaveSchramm '67, Walt Price '70, TomSolter '67, and Larry Delhner '68.

    Tech's baseball team squeaked

    through with their first victory of

    the fall season Friday afternoon

    by defeating .Boston University4-3.

    The combination of strong pitch-ing and hitting was the decidingfactor. Jack Cleary '68 drove inthree runs with a home run, tri-ple and sacrifice. Ed Richilhan'67 was the starting pitcher. BobKiburz '68 relieved in the sixthand was the winning pitcher.

    B.U. had several opportunitiesto score due to passed balls andwild pitches; however, they couldnot get the hits when theycounted.

    This game was, by far, the bestplayed by the team this fall. Atthe present time the team's rec-ord is 1-3. The final game wasscheduled against BU, but waspostponed because of rain. Thegame will be played tomorrowafternoon at Briggs Field. This

    The MIT soccer team droppedits second consecutive game ofthe season 3-0 to Trinity CollegeSaturday afternoon. Cold, rainyweather inhibited the play of bothclubs at Trinity's home field.

    One of Trinity's goals was scoredon a penalty kick, called becauseof an obstruction.

    The team showed good hustlein the first half but seemed to fallapart as the second half got underway.

    Goalie Roy Talus '67 sprainedhis shoulder while making a div-ing save in the third quarter. CarlEverett '69-and Gavin Clowe '68,fullbacks, played well for the de-fense.

    Another factor which seemed to

    affect play was the use of a rub-ber ball. MIT has normally useda leather ball. Passing was poorand no one could kick furtherthan twenty-five to thirty yards.
