"Dear Editor,

"I have Just obtained my copy ofthe 1948, Technique and I -wish toinform youl that I sincerely resentone glaring omission, in the volume.Nowhere in the entire book do thenames Westgate or Westgate Westappear, much less any indication,through an article or pictures', thatsuch a proj ect even exits! . . .

"As far as my -wife, my son, andmyself are concerned (and I amsure I am voicin an opinion of thevast majority of residents in West--ate-and YWeztgate West) the yearanld a half we have livred In theproject have included some of themost pleasant and memorable ex-periences and friendships of ourentire lives.

YSTEMDean DescribesFinance Worries,Of Dormitories

Walker Dining ServiceAlso Commented OnIn Speech Over W'NM"In order for 'he honor sys-

tem to be successful-in anyschool or college, there must bepractically 100 9o support ofthe system by the studentswithout any sense of compul-sion from faculty or administra-tion."

These were the words of DeanEverett M. Baker during his '"Re-port to You" talk over WHITWednesday night.

Dean Baker said that two factorswere necessary for a successfulhonor system. One of them hasalready been MLentioed; the secondis "a homnogeneity within the comemuni-ty that makes all studentsthink alike in certain particulars,that prompts all students to act inthe same way concerning certainprocedures and respond in thesame way concerning communitymoves. We have neither of thefactors at Teehnologyr."

Step In Right Direction:·According to Baker, a few of the

freshman sections who have i:>,-stalled the honor system hlafemade a step in the.-right direptiohiibecause it puts the real responsi-Wiity_- for the main~a aice 0jstandards of ent itt here-itbelongs, within the student body.Dean Baker did not speculate on

Ithe question of whether ror not the-system would become universal atthe Institute.

In reply to the ever-presentquestion, "Why should I want thehonor system if it forces me to-squeal on my friend?" Dean Baker 0answered, "I would agree 100% ifthe honor system is imposed upona group of students. That, ofcourse, is impossible anyway. Anhonor system is something thatonly students in ,a real spirit ofcooperation can establish giventhe essential. basic cooperation."

The second item that DeanBaker discussed during his talkwas better communication. : Inshort, better communication means

Three Letters Tell StoryOf Unfortunate Yearbook

Since the publication and distribution of the lI48 Technique yearbook, The Tech has received several complaints about the book fromvarious members of -the Senior class- Below we print two letters receivedby us commenting on the quality of the year book. Jerome D. 'Crinsky,general manager of the 1948 Technique, has replied to these charges ina letter which is also printed below.

The first letter, -from Donald iMaxshall of Westgate, follows:

Gumpertz WinnerI9n Pres. Stratton.Essay Contest

Walking away with first prizehonors of $100 at the annual Strat-ton Prize contest last Wednesday

was Werner H. Gumpertz, '48.whose paper was entitled "ThrustProblems in Multiple ArchBridges."

Gumpertz, a member of Course I,was followed by John M. Mitchell,Jr., '48, a Course XIX man, whowrote his paper on "Sunspots Con-cern the Weatherman." Mitchell'ssecond prize paid $50. Third prizeof $20 was won by Jesse H. Haines,'48, whose paper was entitled "AProposed Color Television System."Gumpertz, the winner, will presenthis paper during the Class Day Ex-ercises.

Emphasis On PresentationThe six contestants who reached

-the inaz's. were judged on. the. basisof their. command of language,proper use of voice, and ease ofmanner. The judging of contentput emphasis on organization ofmaterial, but inot on originallty ornovelty.

The intention of Samuel Strat-ton, former president of the In-stitute, in founding the contestwas -to give students the opportu-nity to gain valuable experience inthe preparation of scientific ma-terial for public presentation andto acquire something of the art ofspeaking.

Presiding at the finals in Room10-250 last Wednesday was Vice-President James R. Killian, of theInstitute. The following men actedas judges: Howard M. JOnes, Pro-fessor of English at Harvard; Wil-liam T. Martin, head of the Mathe-matics department, and Thomas K.Sherwood, Dean of Engineering.

Barraclds BoardersStay In Bldg. 22

Shortage of RoomsIs Cause, Says Watson

According to Building 22 Mana-ger GOrden Watson, very .few, ifany, of the class of '51 barracks

-residents -wall be.;Able--to,; --obtain dorm rooms next fall. The'roomswhich have been made availablewill be filled by 1l/2 and 2 year bar-A. ",,- "I 'g WV .... Crn rm~n

__ .~1;~ 22, a '" Ind o1^ +S #^ ^;

Iwho are in 22. These men may expect dorm

rooms, however, upon completionof the first term, as the new SeniorHouse is scheduled for completionbefore February. Originally, planswere to abandon {Building 22 atthis time; this will probably not bethe case, however, as the incoming Iclass of freshmen will still make itnecessary to have extra housing.

Exceptions To Rule

There is, however, a certain

amount of flexibility outside of thepriority list set up among barracks

residents. Among other things, two

men entitled to a triple room can

take in anyone as a third member,

and physical disability along with

other extenuating' circumstancesare considered.

There are 134 rooms available as

of this summer, and there will be

up to 170 available by the start of

the fall term, most of which will

be filled from 22. The one-year

i barracks residents who will obtain

rooms will be chosen by some ar-

bitrary method, probably by draw-

ing namesifrom a hat.

Barracks Will Continue

The 360 rooms which will be

available in the new Senior House

lwill allow the one-year men to -'t

into the dorms by February, butthere will still be a substantial

enough demand for 22 to keep it

open indefinitely, in -all probability.

cations. Considering the cost tothe reader and the time ill prepara-tion, I should think the board' ofTechnique and the Senlior Classwould be as ashamed of this bookas I am."

Waltex S. Brauns, Jr. '48

Reply from KrinskyJerome D). Krinsky answered these

attacks in the following letter toThe Tech:"Dear Editor:

"In the past few days since ,th1948 Technique came out, we havereceived several complaints abouterrors and omnissions f~rom the book.

'iWe freely admit that the Seniorportraits and the group picturesare below the minimum standardsof good yearbook illustrations. Thisis directly attributable to the pho-tographer With whom ~we con-tracted for the Senior portraits,grouRp and informal pictures. Hiswork was definitely of inferior qual-ity but we did not fid this outuentil he retumed the proofs to us.At that tulle it was W6 late, as wellas too expensive, to have had thepictures retaken. Both our printerand engraver co-operated -with usin this difficulty by doing their ut-most to produce good results.

impossible to Correct Error"Thte omissions, duplications and

errors in -idenltifying certain mem-berrs of the Senior class are againthe fault of the photograwpher. Theglossy prints of the Seniors. whichwe received from him had not bealphabetized, and the names on thebacks of the pictures were, in agreat many cases, illegible or miss-

failed to pxepare the promised mas-ter list against which to check ourpictures. An engravrer's deadlinewhich had to be met to insure pub-lishing the book before the end ofthe year limited the time availableto findt these mistakes. Many errorswere caught -ad corrected beforethe tbook went to press, but someslipped by. It would have be

FAREWELL TO '48Once more The Terch reaches the end of another school

year and the job of evaluating the contributions of the Institutepresents itself. The job also poses itself as how to say farewellto the senior class without seeming saccharin sweet while stillevaluating their contribution to the life at Technology.

Needless to say the Institute owes much to the class of '48which has seen us through a yiear fraught with many changes.The constitution has been revised, the student government hasbeen broadened and the Institute life has been widened inmanyr respects. The post-war period has brought with it manychanges in the educational viewpoint of the country and Tech-nilogy has kept pace with the modern trend.

Thus the class of '48 has contributed ids part t~o the ad-vrancement in this the first real post-war year. We wish totake t«is opportunity to thank them for their contribution andto wish them success in their future life. Ave Atque Salve!Hall and Farewell!t

NSA- PIONEERS WITH FSSPSince The Tech will not be published duing the summer

term, this being the last issue of the school year, we want to>ao^ah.e11I41 -- port-mty to exte-nd eonngratulations to the NSA

Committee for its work in carrying out the M.I.T. ForeignStudent Summer Project and also to welcome to Technology theso foreign graduate students who have been invited to takepart in this program of educational reconstruction.

The Tech has followed closely and with great interest theprogress of the planning for this summer project, from theinitial article on D:ecember 19 which announced "Foreign GradsTo Come Here Next Sumrner," to the most recent article of lastTuesday which announced that 52 of the 80 students had al-ready been notified of their selection.

Partly because of the f undamental worths of the plan,partly because of its uniqueness (for this is the first proj'ect ofits nature ever to be held in the United States), leading educa-tors writers, and officials throughout the country have praisedM.I.T. students for their farsightedness and initiative in successfully carrying out such a plan.

A project of such magnitude as this (the initial budgetwas nearly $100,000 in goods and sewrvies) could not, of course,be carried out without the fullest cooperation from everyoneconcerned. The Institute Committee furnished operating fundsf or initiating the project, Dr. Compton gave his utmost supportand assistance in manyr ways, the M.I.T. Corporation waivedtuition f ees. for the students and individual members of theCorporation, the Dean of Students, and many members of thelvaolllfvy have been most helpful. In addition, most of the stundents are to be housed in the fraternities remaining open thissummex free of charge, and realy of the alumnni and friends ofM.I.T. have helped to make the program a success financially..M.I.T. can be justly proud of this concrete contribution to inter-national understanding and good will.

"The 1948 Technique is less elab-orate than its predecessors becausethe staff was faced with a choicebetween producing a simpler bookat lower cost,,,or stopping puttingout a yearbook entirely. This is aresult of the large deficit built upduring the war. We believe that wedid the best job possible under thecircumstances, and ~we feel that thebook is a credit to the Institute.

The Engineer lacrossemen pulledmL almost certain defeat from the

fire to tie New Hampshire Univer-sity, 5-5, last Wednesday afternoonon home territory. The game wasforced Into two overtime periods,but neither side could break thedeadlock.

With a little less than two min-utes of the fourth period remain-ing, the Wildcats, leading 5-3, ap-peared well on their way to closingTech's season in defeat. Then Paul8chneelock touched off a Beaverrally by burning one into the net.A moment later Ted Madden sentthe contest into overtime with thegame-tying tally.

Iconsider that the figure of $22,00

is not as much income as the In-stitute should be receiving fromthe investment of its funds onthese buildings. It is factors likethese that we need.to understand."

Dean Baker(C(ontinved frolic Page 1)

that efforts should be made to keepthe student more informed as towhat goes on around the Institute.

According to Baker, "too few ofour students read the pages of TheTech, and certainly that can be

isaid of our faculty and staff. Manyjthincs of great import occur herejthat too few of us know nothingi about." Most of the students'{questions concerning the adminis-tration can be found in the Treas-

}urer's Report.

In answer to the question of,Walker Dining Service's finances,iDean Baker had only to refer topage 263 of the Treasurer's report(available to anyone in the Treas-urer's office). On 263, it says that

I it was necessary to draw out $20,-376 from the reserve funds in ordertu llnst the deficiut of the Xia~t,

Dormitory Finances

Another pertinent questionamong students is, "Why is thedormitory rent so high?"

"Actually," said Dean Baker,the rents are not high, but I

Iknow they seem so to many." TheI,,answer to this question can beI found on page 262 of that sameTreasurer's report. The total ofall the regular charges of normalmaintenance was $204,627; repairsalone cost $18,703. The total in-come of the dorms was $223,723.That leaves a balance of approxi-mately $22,000, which most stu-dents would call profit.

In an interview about currentproblems around Technology, Dr.James R. Killian, Vice-President ofthe Institute, stated that theCharles Hayden Library is beingconstructed on a "cost-plus" basis.This means that the Institute ispaying for everything that goes into Iconstruction.

When asked if this policy was,not uncertain and expensive, Dr.Killian replied that it is cheaperthan contracts on a flat rate. Com.--panies contracting on a flat rateset that rate high enough to coverany eventualities, and since a re-liable company has Ueen -Li-Ireu, thee

cost will be in line with expecta-tions.

$20,000,000 NeededDr. Killian discussed the fin n-

cial policy of the Institute, andstated that the budget for the next!few years is very tight, and that anattempt will shortly be made toraise $20 million from private Isources. In the next few years the;enrollment is going down, and some Iother method of raising moneymust meet this decrease in tuition Ifunds. Next year the freshmanenrollment will be only 800.

The tight bud-et is ~partially re-sponsible for some of the presentmonetary policies; for instance, nochecks over $2, are cashed by thestudent -bank, partly because with-out expensive equipment and per-sonnel, the presence of large sumsof money is dangerous.

Senior H8ouse DelayedThe senior house, which was held

up by weather and labor conditions,will be finished in time for the

spring term, 1949, but there will besome unavoidable crowding in thefal] term, '48.

According to Dr. Killian, the finalsize of the Technology enrollmentfor a long range basis has not yetbeen decided, but for the next fewyears the enrollment is ooingdown.
