Spring, Summer TermFor 1946 ShortenedWith No Final Exams

The Institute's official calendarfor the next three terms, whichprovides for a transition from thepresent three terms a year to thenormal two terms a year, was an-nounced this week by Joseph C.MacKinnon, Registrar. The cal-endar is in accord with the policyapproved by the Executive Com-mittee of the Corporation and theFaculty Council. It covers the dou-ble purpose of returning to a nor-mal program and, at the same-time,keeping the Institute operating con-tinuously for the benefit of thosestudents, particularly veterans, whodo not want to take any lengthyvacations, The first normal termunder this transition program willbe the fall term of 1946, which willopen on Monday, September 30.After that date, the Institute willfollow the usual schedule of twoterms a year with an optional sum-mer session.

In order to move the starting dateof the 1946 fall term from Novem-ber, as it would be- under a threeterm a year program, to the normalopening date of the last Monday inSeptember, and at the same timekeep operating continuously untilthen several drastic schedule revi-sions were made.

The fall term of 1945 which willbegin with Registration Day onMonday November 5 will be thesame length as the terms underthe present schedule; there will befifteen weeks of classes and a weekof examinations at the end of theterm. The Spring term of 1946,which will begin on Monday,March 4, will be shortened to four-teen weeks of classes with no finalexaminations at the end of theterm. This policy will also be fol-

In connection with football, thetourney will be run on an elimina-tion basis in order to determinefour finalists. Four teams will beseeded for the competition, sixgames of which are to be playedbefore the end of the present term.Twenty-nine teams have been en-tered for football, in which the PhiGams are the defending champions.

Details ConsideredAmong the various points of de-

tail brought up for consideration bythe representatives was the timefor scheduled games. Previous cus-tom of slating contests for Saturdayafternoons and Sunday morningswill be pursued again .this year, al-though teams have the privilegeof re-scheduling games by mutualagreement. Officiating duties' willbe shared by Beaver Key and parti-cipating groups. As for eligibility,only active, undergraduate mem-bers of a house are to compete. Inthe event of tie games after regula-

plan, in effectt for awarding pointsin Beaver Key athletics. In ClassA sports, namely, softball, football,basketball, and volleyball, forty-fivepoints are awarded for first, twenty-seven for second, eighteen for third,and twelve for fourth.

occer TeamVictors Get Lone GoalIn Third Period; TechTravels To Davisville

The first soccer game in threeyears at M.I.T. last Saturdayresulted in a rather inauspiciousopening for the Tech varsitybooters, who were subdued byBrown, 1-0. The home team domin-ated play throughout the first half,but after Brown scored a taintedgoal half way through the thirdperiod, the complexion of the gamewas chariged.

Tomorrow the varsity plays itsfirst visiting game, scheduled withthe Sea Bees at Davisville, RhodeIsland.

Fists FlyThe inaugural at Briggs Field

was marked by several outburstsof friction between the rival teams,-with the result that Ed Dibos,inside right of Tech, and Brown'sGoff, inside left, were ejected inthe final period after a flurry offisticuffs.

Although Tech showed flashes ofadept pass work on the forwardline, several scoring opportunitieswere lost through shooting inaccur-acy. The Beavers, who kept theball in enemy territory much ofthe time in the first half, mountedtheir most consistent threat in thesecond quarter, when on four occa-sions shots at the net were deflectedby the horizontal bar of the goal.-

Goff RegistersAfter seven minutes of play in

the second half, Goff deliberatelyset the ball and fired a shot whichpenetrated a maze of players andslipped through Goalie Whorf forthe game's lone score. The victorymarked the fourth consecutivesuccess for the visitors, as they hadpreviously turned ,back Wesleyan,W.P.I., and the Camp Endicott SeaBees of Davisville.

Tulin, 2-46, and Louis B. Wadel,2-46.

The main purpose of the pointsystem is to limit the number of ac-tivities a student can hold, so thatpositions, may be divided amongmore men and so that no personwill have more duties than he canperform satisfactorily. A second-ary- purpose is to award recognitionto activity leaders. The committeeassigns a number of points whichit feels is fair to each activity posi-tion.

The Walker Memorial Committeerules state that 15 points is the max-imum number a student can carryduring any one term, unless hiscumulative is above. 3.50, in -whichcase he is allowed to carry 20.

FOR PREZY'S FRESHMAN RECEPTION

Ef To be absolutely proper, you donned your claw-hammer suit (if youowned one) and the stiffest shirt-front and collar obtainable. Presxy,similarly armored, grasped your perspiring palm. Matriculation wascomplete. You were a college stude at last.

America, too, was stepping out in the 1890's. Her cities weregrowing, populations were spreading. Railway Express, then as now,provided her with a nation-wide shipping service, including the bag-gage and laundry needs of innumerable college students. Today, dur-ing the emergency, the country's shipping needs are heavily strained.So, please do this with your baggage and home-going bundles: Packand wrap securely, address clearly, and get them started early.
