In Volume 73 we have digressed slightly from the usual, perhaps even indulging in some wishful thinking here and there. We quote apropos from TECHNIQUE 1885: We have chosen from the mass of material what, in our judgement, seemed best calculated to give satisfaction. You may not agree with us in our selection; but we ask you, indulgent reader, to remember that we are but students. . . .

Hawkins Harald J. Henriksen Civil engineering is probably the broadest and the most important of the br nches of engineering. Civil engineering is responsible for our modern cities with their complex network of transportation systems, sanitation facilities, and towering sky- scrapers. The large range of opportunities requires that the civil engineer has broad technical knowledge supplemented with practical experience. The technical courses are only part of the education, for laboratory courses give the student experience in manipulating the tools of the profession. Most civil engineering projects involve three separate phases, conception, design, and construction. As a result many men find that their professional w ork centers on only one phase. Therefore, the course is arranged so that after training in the funda- mentals, the student can continue in an option suited to his personal interests. The American Society of Civil Engineers offers both technical and social oppor- tunities for its members. Tt also attempts to instill a professional spirit and to acquaint the student more closely with his chosen profession. Chi Epsilon, the national civil engineering honorary fraternity recognizes those students who have made outstanding contributions to the course, and to M.I.T. as a whole. The department ' s greatest asset is its faculty, who are leaders in their field — men of fine teaching ability and sound engineering achievement. Many of the developments in the field have come from the laboratory, where student and professor work side by side. I ' RUF. JOHN B. WILBUR ENGINEERING V. 1 jmas . Buflelt James F. Burke John T.

JOHN CHIPMAN 24 Metallurgy deals with the recovery of metals from their crude ores, refining them and preparing them for use. To meet these broad demands the course in metallurgy offers two options, one in metallurgy, the other in mineral engineering. These options are designed to train the men in a specific line of work, but despite the specialized curriculum, the graduate is able to choose from a wealth of industries where metals are used. The curriculum in Metallurgy ( Option 1 ) is designed to balance the fundamentals of physics and chemistry, and to follow these with specialized studies in the science of metals. The engineering training deals primarily with the refining of metals from the ores, casting or forging of the metal, and the control of the structural properties of metals. Mineral engineering deals with the mineral compounds of metals, their separation and extraction. Included in these fields are the sciences of crystal chemistry and min- erology. As long as the world needs metals, there will be a need of competent men to mine, refine, and refashion metals. Course Three men can belong to professional organizations in their field. The American Foundrymen ' s Society, and the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgi- cal Engineering offer the opportunity for members to keep informed of the latest developments in their field, through discussions, and lectures.

This is supplemented with general courses in humanities and science to produce a graduate who will use both engineering and humanistic ideas in solving architectural problems. Since the field of architecture is so I)road. the department is divided into two options. Architecture, and City Planning. In addition to the science and humanities, the students learn to think in three dimensions, to include visual order in their designs. The students may draw upon the Institute for technical training in engineering fields, such as structures, heating, illumination, and acoustics. All these courses are integrated into the design classes, where the students solve actual achitectural problems. In the five year course, the man can grow in the educational environment and develop the techniques and judgement of a professional architect. The Tech .Architects and Planners Society is an organization designed to tie the two design schools together and at the same time foster exchange of ideas between other schools in the country. The society also strives to maintain correspondence with the professional societies in related fields, and to keep its members informed of ad- vancements in the profession. I ' ROF. LAWRENCE B.

Karpati r m Ralpli C. fieyn il( The chemistry course begins with an introduction to the field in general chemistry, followed by studies in the four main fields: analytical, including quantitative and qualitative analysis, physical chemistry, dealing with chemical behavior, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. The objective to this program is to provide a background of chemistry for those who seek a career dealing with chemistry and those who wish to go on to graduate school and pursue a career in research. The curriculum includes work in the fields of mathematics, humanities, physics, and other electives. In the senior year, the thesis occupies a major portion of the man ' s time and interest, and it may prove helpful for the student who is uncertain whether he wants chemical research for a career. The M.I.T. Chemical Society ofifers excellent opportunities for students to broaden their own background and at the same time become better acquainted with one another through social events. Their program includes plant trips, and guest speakers in the field of chemistry. The national honorary society for student chemists is Phi Lambda Upsilon, who elects to its membership students whose scholastic and extra-curricular records are outstanding. PROF. AKTHliK C.

BHOWN The purpose of the electrical engiiieeriiii: department here at M.l.T. is to meet the challenge imposed upon it by a rapidly growing field. The student must be given a firm background for the professional, industrial, or business area that he plans to enter when following his career. The problem is resolved at M.l.T. by providing the student with a mastery of the basic sciences of engineering and phvsics. hile the fundamentals of electrical engineering and its application are stressed, the humanities and social sciences, an integral component of the program, serve to broaden the perspective, and to establish in him a sense of values. To further develop his background, he is given the opportunitv to attend discussions on topics of general interest in his field and to visit laboratories through the efforts of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. The curriculum embraces two major fields. Information Transmission and Processing deals with radio, radar, wire telephony, and electronics: Energy Conser- vation, Control, and Utilization is concerned with power, light, heat, and control necessarv to keep the wheels of industrv rolling. For a select group of students, the Institute offers Course I-A. the cooperative course, which combines industrial or research experience with education. Upon completion of a five year course, these men are awarded both S. B. and S. M. degrees. Hexalpha, an organization of men in course I-, , helps to unite men in the course into a strongly knit bond. This group plans athletic and social programs to attain this end. The Electrical Engineer ' s honorary society. Eta Kappa Nu, is represented at M.l.T. under the auspices of tlie Beta Theta Chapter.

They are provided with a broad training in not only the fields of classical physics but also the many ideas of modern physics. After a thorough grounding in the undergraduate curriculum, the student may satisfy his individual needs by choosing from a wide range of specialized subjects. Upon graduating, he may do advanced work in an allied field. There is a current trend in industry to assign development work of the type usually done by engineers to physicists. Furthermore, shortage of science teachers offers an opportunity for the physicist to emljark upon an academic career. For those students in Course VII! who desire extracurricular familiarization with current topics of interest to the physicist, the Physics Society offers innumerable benefits. Cooperating with the Department of Physics, it presents lectures and conducts tours to local research laboratories. PROF. NATHANIEL H. FRANK 49 1 William C. Bowman Robert G. Bridgham Paul H.

Sterrett For students in either general science, or general engineering, the Institute offers an unusual opportunity for freedom of choice of curriculum. They may plan their programs according to their own individual needs. For ex ample, a student interested in mechanical engineering from the managerial point of view may take one-half of his electives in Mechanical Engineering and the remainder in Business and Engineering Administration. Likewise, a student taking the course in general science may elect any science course as his foundation on which to build the course best suited for his career. The five year course in Science Teaching is also incorporated in this department. Once again, the students are given an unique opportunity. After three years of study at M.l.T. they divide the balance of their Course between The Institute, and The Harvard Graduate School of Education. Tliis combined curriculum leads to a B.S. degree from M.l.T. , and a Master ' s degree in Education from Harvard. I ' KOK. JOHN 1. KLLi. 44 ENGINEERING SCIENCE TEACHING (F «% fCi V. Stuart I ' . Keeler Charles D. Koch 45 Similar to that of the chemist, the curriculum of the chemical engineer must lead to a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics. However, because he utilizes that knowledge on a much larger scale, the chemical engineer is connected with the business operations of his company and must be aware of costs involved. Besides, because the chemical industry as a group is expanding three times as fast as the rest of industry, the chemical engineer must be prepared to solve new problems arising from new situations. Chemical Engineering at M.I.T. is, therefore, a course designed basically to teach the students to think for themselves. Fundamental subjects provide a broad background but no one field is stressed. The M.I.T. Course in Chemical Engineering Practice enables students in Course X to supplement their training during the latter half of their senior year at one of the practice schools that the Institute maintains in the plants of three companies. Two societies at M.I.T. that encourage the interests of Chemical Engineering students are the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and Phi Lambda I psilon the honorary chemical fraternity.

LAURENS TROOST The course in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is designed for thosi students desirous of following a professional career in the design and building o ships and their propulsion machinery. The first two years comprise basic subjects in science and humanities anc sh ' p construction. In the following two years naval architecture, marine en2;ineering and ship design are emphasized. Also included in these years are related subject in heat engineering, fluid mechanics, steam and diesel engines. For the student who intends to pursue ship construction on the graduate level the Institute offers a five year program that gives the graduate a Bachelor of Scienc degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and a Master of Science ii Shipping and Shipbuilding Management. At the conclusion of the first three year the student embarks upon a special program designed to give him the two degree The fourth year consists of all the specifically required subjects of Course XIII plu additional subjects in either the Department of Economics and Social Science o the School of Industrial Management which will provide prerequisites necessary fo graduate work in Courses XIV and XV. During the fifth year the fortunate Course XII man prepares a thesis twice as long as the regular undergraduate thesis. mm ▼ , Norman W. Burpee Richard H. McCabe Alan W. Metzger Ii- 1. mH !• rank H.

Morelield Edward W. Riter In order to provide training in either engineering or science combined with the social sciences, the New Technology has developed the Department of Economics and Social Science. Emphasis on the relationships among scientific, engineering, economic, political, and human relations problems provides the discriminating student with an understanding of both technical and non-technical aspects of our modern industrial society. The course XIV man may concentrate his academic interests in an engineering field (electrical, chemical, or mechanical), or he may choose an area of science concentration. In addition. Course XIV can provide a broad undergraduate training preparatory to graduate work in such fields as industrial economics, social science, law. medicine, and politics. When he graduates, the Course XIV man may apply his theoretical supply and demand curves, total cost and revenue functions, and marginal analysis to a wide range of careers: research, engineering, economics, persomiel. sales, and government, labor, and other bureaucratic organizations.

Since its foui uiiiig in 1861. M.I.T. has had the reputalion of tiratluating me who are destined to be leaders in the fields of scienie and enpineerinp. In recei years Technology has turned to providing men who are qualified to assume manageri; positions in the various technical fields. The School of Industrial Management liroadens and educates the student scope of imagination by offering courses dealing with the problems of modern busines techniques, emphasizing the mathematical and scientific basis. Thus we see a gradual with a well rounded education. On one hand he is able to perceive the objectives c modern science and engineering; on the other, he is able to channel the talents ( his subordinates toward the attainment of these objectives. During his junior and senior years the Course XV man has the opportunity 1 make field trips with his fellow students and professors. While on these trips 1 sees local business and industry in action, thus the theories in his te xtbooks and noti take on new significance. The School of Industrial Management, in a manner typical of M.I.T. in generf is helping to advance the knowledge and producti itv of industry by providing nif prepared to become leaders in the managerial realm of science and engineering.

Members of M.I.T. ' s Course X . Aeronautical Engineering, are provided with a multitude of opportunities to become top engineers in this field. As well as providing the best in classroom instruction and laboratory experiments, the Institute offers a veritable gold mine of related activities and programs. First, the course itself involves a co-operative option in partnership with aeronautical industries. Also, there is an honor course for outstanding seniors. This plan allows a student, after five years of preparation to receive both a bachelor ' s and a master ' s degree. In addition to this academic preparation, there are several extra-curricular activities — The Institute of Aeronautical Engineers. Si ma Camma Tau. the Course W I honorary society, and the Glider Club, which offer the Tech student everything from lectures on advance developments to the thrill of actually piloting a heavier-than- air craft. A student in Course X I finishes his schooling, not only able to cope with the technical problems of powered flight but also to understand the significance of air- planes in the modern world. This sort of engineer is prepared to fill anv responsible position in the aeronautical industry. I ' P.OF. CHARLES S. DRAPER 64 ENGINEERING Ki. Iiard W . B..hlen I)a i.l M. l{ra(llc Martin M.

Building Engineering and Construction. Although the undergraduate course has been discontinued with this last class of seniors, any interested student can register in Civil Engineering, since the two courses are so closely related. The basic course remains the same, while leaving room in the fourth vear for specialization in Building Engineering and Construction by means of specific elective?. These subjects give mainly a basis by which the student can either proceed directly into industry, where he may become a principal in one of the many building enter- prises, or enroll for further specialization in the Graduate School. For the most part, after study in the Humanities and Applied Science, the fourth ear student studies both managerial situations in Job Management or Building Management, where he learns relationship between the worker, contractors, and owners: and actual construction, where he studies materials and cements. The professional course continues this work with subjects as Wood Design and Graphical Analysis, Concrete Design, and Engineering Laminates. ;oF. ALIJEUT G. H.

Rosenbaum The Mathematics Course offers for any student the preparation necessary for specializing in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical physics, mathematical or applied statistics, or engineering fields requiring proficiency in mathematics. Whether the student wishes to become a research, teaching, or indus- trial mathematician, the course provides a wide range of both required and elective subjects, which gives to any student a full and adequate background for professional work. After the first two years which develop, by studies in the humanities and sciences, a basis for expansion, the individual has in his junior and senior years a wide choice of electives which he can choose to meet his own needs and objectives. Among these varied subjects are Probability and Operations Analysis, Modern Statisti- cal Theory, Elementary Differential Geometry, Analysis, and Modern Algebra. The Course leads to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and usually the undergraduate continues further specialization in the Graduate School. As an added attraction, the Course XVIII man is provided with the opportunity to join the Math Society. Meeting weekly, this society provides informal lectures both by students and the faculty on many interesting and diverse topics not covered in the regular curriculum. The monthly bulletin, which the Society also publishes, is of particular interest to mathematics majors. XiirnKHi li. Iliii l A closeup of one unit of the mognelic memory in Whirlwind I.

HENRY G. HOUGHTON The !Meteorolog Course, in training men to find answers to the challenging problems of determination of the weather, provides a basis of scientific and engineering studies. This basic knowledge is supplemented by specific studies in both theoretical and applied meteorology. By choosing his eleetives wisely and with the addition of a year of graduate study in meteorology, a student is considered to be more than well prepared to take excellent positions in both industry and civil service. Due to the small number of interested students, the undergraduate Meteorology Course has been discontinued as of this year; however, interested students may still take eleetives in Course XIX. giving an adequate preparation for the graduate course. At the present time, after a general background in basic sciences and in General Meteorology during the first two years, the major portion of the course in the junior and senior years develops many different aspects of meteorologv. The composition of the atmosphere, elementary thermodynamics and heat balance of the atmosphere, and application of meteorological knowledge to weather forecasting, business, industry, transportation are all studied earlv in the course. Later, Climatology. Oceanographv, Synoptic and Dynamic Meteorology are covered to round out the undergraduate course. Georse E.

' s Course XX is designed to give the student a basic understanding of the vital elements of the food industry. A typical program includes courses in biolog} ' , bacteriology, biochemistry, nutrition, and chemistry. A comprehensive study of these subjects gives the food technologists-to-be a command of the principles and methods involved in food processing, packaging, preservation, and flavor control. A graduate of Course XX is well versed in the doings of the food industry and is capable of improving, organizing, and aiding food companies in all processes from the original procurement of the raw products to the sale of food to the consumer. V ith this sort of training most Course XX men will find jobs with the food industry, although thev also are well qualified for positions in related chemical activities. Food technology, a relatively new field, is rapidly expanding and offers many opportunities to those interested in research. Presently, a great deal of work is being done with atomic radiation and x-ray as food preservatives. Another large field of endeavor is in research on the effects of sight and smell upon the flavors of various foodstuffs. It is believed that these two senses, especially smell, are as important as actual taste in the desirabilitv of a food product. I ' KOF. BERNARD E. PROCTOR 74 TECHNOLOGY Joseph Eichhert;.

BARTLETT This double major course includes concentrated studies in one field of human- ities and one field of technology, providing an ambitious student innumerable oppor- tunities. From its beginning in 1955 Course XXI has offered a broader education than is possible when one is concentrating in one technical field onlv. After four years of study culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree in Humanities and Engineering or Science, the graduate may continue his technical work at graduate school or his humanities program at a liberal arts college, or as a final choice, enter immediately into industry, well schooled in both topics. The first two years subjects are similar to other courses at the Institute; but during the junior and senior years, the student has an almost unlimited choice of majors. Any technical course in the Institute may be elected for the scientific major and the only restriction on the humanities program is that it be in economics, philoso- phy and literature, or American industrial society. A sample program might combine philosophy and literature with biology and include such subjects as Philosophical Problems and Systems, Science and Philosophy, Organic Chemistry, Genetics and Cytology, and Embryology. Climaxing his efforts in the senior year, the student does a special project or a thesis which combines his two areas of study. ' Whot, me worry?

H0 A1 A greek letter fraternity exists as the sum total of its personnel- specific individuals subscribing to the gene ral principle and progress of brotherhood. Brotherhood is symbolized in the pin; each letter and jewel bearing a significance of the ideals and consummate goals of the fraternity. The pin is worn with manifest pride, and more than a strong sense of loyalty is required to keep it from reposing on someone of the opposite sex. Much approbation can be given to the accomplished objectives of fraternities, but the prime advantages are that fraternities provide beneficial training and a plenary stability for college people. Ends such as these should not be dissuaded. -Ezra Framingham Saltonstall 76 r i ■ ' 3l. ' 1 INTERFRATERNITY CONFERENCE MICHAEL E. BRENNER Chairman The Inter-Fraternity Conference binds together the twenty-six active fra- ternities at M.I.T. It represents the fraternity body and assumes appropriate responsibility in its relationships with the Institute, the student body, and the community. Its objectives are to raise the academic, social, and physical standards of the fraternities and to encourage friendship, solidarity, and cooperation among the houses to the mutual benefit of all. The business of the I.F.C. was conducted at monthly dinner meetings attended by the president and one other representative of each house, the com- mittee chairmen, and the Executive Committee. The I.F.C. is a member of the National Inter-Fraternity Conference. Mike Brenner, chairman of this year ' s I.F.C, represented M.I.T. at the N.I.C. ' s annual convention in December and brought back valuable information on items discussed there. One of the high points of the year was the presentation of the National Sigma Chi Foundation Trophy. This trophy is awarded annually to the fraternity maintaining the highest scholarship average for the entire year. Permanent scholarship plaques were also awarded to the top three fraternities. In addition, awards were made to the fraternity showing the most improvement and to the pledge class having the highest average. IPC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Front Row, I lo r: Martin L.

The basic course in Army R.O.T.C. gives the Tech student a fundamental understanding of the organization, |)urpi)ses. tactics, and history of the United States Army. It is the aim of this type of training to inculcate the cadets with discipline, loyalty, and knowledge, which are essential attributes of an Army ofiicer. Although all cadets do not become officers, training of this sort is extremely beneficial. For those who desire to become officers, the advanced corps is available. This select group, whose members are cadet officers, helps run the basic course R.O.T.C. These men are given special traitiiiig in some technical field. u( ' b as ordinance, communications, or supply. This train- ing is climaxed with a six week stint of summer camp at an Army post. As an additional aclivitv for underclassmen, the Army Drill Team offers training to freshmen atid the group founders, the so|)homore class in 1955.

The group is the first of its kind in the United States and will produce naval officers for engineering duty billets. The unit, headed by Captain J. S. Lewis, U.S.N., in- cludes forty midshipmen who were specially chosen from over one hundred applicants. An exhaustive weeding out process, which included a thorough physical examination, was involved in the selection. Because of the course ' s special nature, the picked students are given a slightly altered N.R.O.T.C. curriculum: and certain subjects, such as naviga- tion, are omitted while others, including a course on guided missiles, are added. Also, as an integral part of the course, a six weeks cruise to a foreign port will be scheduled for each student at the end of his junior year. The four year course will culminate with the commissioning of the mid- shipmen as ensigns (engineering duty I U.S.N.R.

Through its suggestion fraternities this year joined the Back Bay Asso- ciation, a community improvement group consisting of property owners in the Back Ba area. In addition fraternities were encouraged to invite neighbors and other members of the connnunity to visit their houses: thereby promoting greater understanding between fraternities and the community. I.F.C. Committee work extended into many areas this year. Through the IMi ' dge Training Committee a complete re-e aluation of objectives in pledge training look place. The Rushing (Aimmitee organized and co-ordinated Rush Week. Its sub-committees sent out a new pamphlet on fraternity life to every entering freshman, operated the I.F.C. Clearing House, and conducted a Pre- Rush Week Meeting for the freshmen. The Public Relations Committee sent out press releases to hometown news|)apers alntut all men pledged, and published the Fraternity Times. Information on food dealers was gathered by the Stewards Committee, and information on dealers in house maintenance and supply items was obtained bv The House Managers Committee. This vear TEP Club, a local living group, came one step closer to becoming a full member in the I.F.C. In the fall it was granted probationary membership in the Conference, which entitles it to a vote at I.F.C. meetings. The Dover Club was granted permission to organize as an independent living group. If successful in its first stages it will then be eligible for initial membership in the I.F.C. The social ear for fraternity men was full. Each of the fraternities gave several parties for its members, and in addition many held open bid parties. The highlight of the social program was the I.F.C. Weekend in May. which provided the fraternity man with a fitting occasion for his special girl.

Our far-flung brothers returned from their a(alions only to find that we had won the outstanding chapter award during the summer. We all participated in work week during which new floors were put down on the first floor. Rush week cuhninated in the pledging of a top class. As the year progressed our social committee lined up quite a number of parties: manv of which we will remember for their originality. The Treasure Hunt led Aaron Rosen to a bottle of scotch. At the Block Party and the Baker House Blast, we joined forces with other fraternities to put on an excellent party. The Pledge Show was. as it usuallv is. one of the best parties of the year. The spring term saw the traditional Alumni Weekend and Pledge Formal, where the old and the new mixed for a grand time together. Scholarship was also important.

Work week and the donated time of man) of the brothers left the house in much better shape than ever before, with a brand new kitchen and living: room and new paint and wallpaper in almost every room. Our social calendar left little to be desired this year. While the weather was still warm, we started off with a clambake, followed by dancing back at the house. Then came the annual open bid party, the Fall Brawl, which was held at the Pocahontas Tavern this year due to the premature sinking of the Cambridge Boat Clul). The Taus played host to over 400 of their fellow Tech men. The pledge party was a complete success, starting with a buffet dinner and ending with dancing to the music of Ted Cathcart and later, brother Bob Keller. Then came the Christmas party, which was the final event of the first term. It was highlighted by the second pledge skit and their annual gifts to the actives. Second term saw the Winter Formal again a big success, celebrated just before the end of winter and the commencement of our rounds of informal parties. A beach party and such gatherings as the Tech Show parly rounded out the year. During the year several brothers were pinned, and many of them found the hard way that winter was not the time to go swimming in the Charles. and then the swim!

BETA THETA PI Another year has slipped In at the Beta House, and from the trail left behind, it looks like one of which we can he proud. The chapter, including twelve en- thusiastic reminders of a successful Rush Week, joined in carrying out a suc- cessful scholastic, athletic, and social program. In school activities we were led b) Jim Rowan as president of the .Senior Class and Fritz Herminghaus as chairman of the Public Relations (Committee and treasurer of the I.F.C. Others of us found our way into the Q Club. Beaver Key. Secretariat, and T.C.A.. as well as the scholastic honor societies. The Beta seniors saw that the P Club got off to a good start and insured an equall) successful ending by placing four members on the Senior Week Com- mittee. The rest of the chapter got in on the act also, making the Junior Prom, Miami Triad. I.F.C. and Cape weekends among the best ever. One of the attrac- tions at these and other house parties was the quartet of Jim Rowan. Karl Duff. Hup Martini, and Larry Pearson, all members of the Logarhythms. Skiing became known as a social function as well as a sport this year, and mid-terms found o er one third of the chapter heading north. The football team successfully defended its league championship, after which the hoopsters and hockey players moved into the spotli ght. The volleyball team was out to retain its championship, and spirit was high. Last, but certainU ' not least in the minds of those who remember last year, this year was successful because the furnace worked on those below-zero morninss. LAWRENCE R. HOOVER President WILLIAM H.

DELTA TAU DELTA A i surelv as |)ast events at the Uelt House bring pleasant memories to the men of Heta .Nu. so for them will the future bring success in their endeavors along with plenty of fun. The boys are constantly trying to surpass their achievements in scholarship, athletics, and social functions. With a strong new pleilge class and energetic upperclassnien. tlie Delts are succeeding in all three categories this year. Beta Nu has participants in every MIT sport with men like Dave Bryson I diving I and Mike Tvm 1 rugby I holding top positions on varsity teams. With Verderber treasurer of the freshman class, Blomstrom president of the Q-Club. Flemig chairman of Field Day, and other men filling managerial positions and club memberships, the Delts reign high in activities. The powerhouse ' intra- mural football squad won second place in the league, while the hockey, basket- ball, sailing, and bowling teams stand a good chance of winning titles this season. Last fall the boys put the Shelter at its sparkling best in preparation for ensuing social functions. So far the Delts and their gals have enjoyed numerous parties like the pledge-sponsored Polynesian Affair and are eagerly awaiting the Beer Blast and IFC Weekend. The big green door on Beacon Street will always be open to the men who graduate this year; and we who remain would like to say, So long, Canuck, WesterhofI, Twitch, Mike, Pecker, Slush, Ouiji, Ted, Flint, and Tweety. Don ' t worry, you guys, the game of signs will still be goin ' when you drop in. E. D. BRYSON President FREDERICK B. WHITTINGTON Vice President ERNIE R. FLEMIG Secretory CHARLES R.

Most of the campus found its way to the big carnival tent behind 526 Beacon Street and joined in the melee of barkers, girls, straw hats, music, and colored lights. Carnival opened a great social year for DU. Fall and Spring House Parties, the Christmas party, and the many theme parties offered weekend respite from our studies. Along with our socializing we found time to participate in a big way in M. I. T. athletics. The crew, baseliall. rugbv. lacrosse, swinnning. hockey, and track teams found DL ' s in their numbers. Intramurally, Delta U won the swim- ming trophs for the second straight ear and placed well up in all its other competitions. Delta Lpsilon sparkled in the many facets of student government at M. I. T. Among other active members our brotherhood included the Secretary-Treasurer of the class of ' 57, the ' 59 Vice-President. Treasurer of the Undergraduate Associ- ation. President of the newlv-formed T Club, two members of the Junior Prom Committee, and members of Quadrangle Club, Beaver Key, and Osiris. Partici- pants in T.C.A., Secretariat, and S.C.MP. helped fulfill our motto, A Delta U. in everything, every Delta U. in something. This has been a good ear for Delta L psilon. Those of us who remain at 526 hope onh that it ma remain as the graduates of 1957 have left it; may we do as well in the future as the lia e in the past.

Two of the brothers were married, antl another transferred to a different school. Two more had the good fortune to be in Italy for a year and are studying at the University of Rome. We were proud to be ranked scholasticallv last term in the upper quarter of the fraternities: and this year four of the six seniors are members of the Tau Beta Pi honorary society. Our fall party, as usual, was the prominent social event of the term; the highlight of that weekend was the performance of the popular Hungarian pianist. George Fever, on Sunda . One of the brothers of the same nationalitv was instrumental in arranging this marvelous entertainment. In December we held the Christmas party for a group of underprivileged children, as well as the Egg Nog party to which our friends on the faculty and our older friends were invited. Sticking close to tradition, we held our second house partv. the clambake, and the Founders Day celebration in the spring term. Our representation in the Institute activities has continued to be strong this vear. The brothers are associated with Technique, the Institute Committee, the Glee Club, the nmsical clubs, and others. Soccer, hockey, squash, tennis, and crew continue to be the primary sports in which we participate, although this vear we cannot boast of the two varsity team captains we had one year ago. .■ llhough we can certainly be pleased with our record over the past year, we do have things to be concerned about — in particular, a membership increased by two or three men next vear.

One may walk along the drive and see many different people, doing many different things in many different surroundings. A great many of those who live on Memorial Drive are rarely concerned about the differences in what is going on around them; they are conscious only of its unity. It is just Memorial Drive and it will be just Memorial Drive when the sun rises tomorrow morning. The house at 314 Memorial Drive is a house of manv moods. And yet it is one house. In it. both Picasso and Currier and Ives hang on the walls, both Beethoven and Brubeck are heard, both English tweeds and gabardines are worn. The greatest achievement which occurred in this house this year was the realization of the importance of these differences, the differences which make up the unitv which is considered so important. Some call it a rising spirit of individualism. The men who live at 314 are men of many moods. And yet each is a man in himself. He is not a man trying to conform to the unity, but rather a man who is contributing himself to the whole. He takes pleasure at his similarities with his brethren, and in turn learns from his differences. This year he has been found in Tech Show, the Glee Club, Sailing. Track, Voo Doo, Debating. WTBS, and a number of other varied activities. This diversity in interests is due to the fact that his tastes and interests are not determined bv the group in which he lives. He may be found at Katy Gibbs, Simmons, Vt ellesley, Radcliffe. He may spend his evening at Durgin-Park, Storyville, or at the skating rink. He is an individual, a free-thinker.

Photos by Technique THETA XI Strengthened in number b nine pledges, Delta this year had its largest nienihership in nian years witii the annexes at 80, 82, and 86 bursting with brothers. Strength in numbers brought the house a vigorous spirit in sports and scholarship as well as in the perennially popular social events. Delta ? record in sports was one of the most successful in the memory of the jjrothers. Sparked by our retirement of the sailing trophy, our intramural program received enthusiastic support, with notable assistance from the spirited freshman class. And as usual, a high percentage of the house participated in varsity sports. Amid the maze of probl. ms. papers, and lab reports our efforts were aimed at maintaining the high scholastic standing achieved the year before. One of the brightest memories of the year was the glowing social season, highlighted by the black light party at Halloween, where painted guests and painted ghouls tried to outshine each other under the ultraviolet. There were also the puns, jokes, and monologues around the coffee table, where scientist, philosopher, artist, and hack met in the fruitless exchange of frustrations. Reminiscences of the year at Theta Xi include not only scenes of group life, but also individual images. Foremost are those of the seniors — Brothers O ' Kane, Edwards. Bauschalz. Clunies. Varela. Baird, Fell. McMahon. Williamson, Fry- klund. and Teague. Thev are mentioned here not to pigeonhole each with a phrase for posterity, but because all have shaped the strong spirit and tradition of Delta of Theta Xi. ROBERT G. FULKS President HAROLD C.

Rush week was particu- larly eventful for Beta Chapter, as we pledged fifteen fine men. Then it was back to the Institute — with studies, sports, and other activities. As usual the House was out for manv sports, at both the varsity and intra- mural levels. In football the Big Red ' took the league championship, and in other intramural sports we were able to walk away with top honors. The social season had its memories also. Starting with the party in honor of the pledges at the beginning of first term, we then carried on actively by partici- pating in Junior Prom weekend, holding a Christmas party, and giving a party for underprivileged children. Second term was highlighted socially by our annual bid party, the Monster Rally, IFC weekend, and outings to selected beaches. The fraternity has been an integral part of our years at M. I. T. : teaching us, through experience, many of those human values never obtained from formal education. To our graduating brothers we wish continued success and advatice- ment.

Amid much tumuh and shouting, tlie work was finislied. and a very successful rush week followed. The pledge .class was a large one. resulting in one of the largest groups at Kappa Sigma in several years. Seven brothers were forced to set up housekeeping in apartments first term, because of the full house. A new and improved program of pledge training was put into effect this year. A big brother system was among the new features which the (Chapter be- lieves have resulted in a better group ot new brothers. One of the main objectives for the year was an improvtinent in house scholarship. Stronger emphasis on scholarship and increased stud) help for the freshmen have done much toward the realization of this goal. In Institute activities the chapter has been well represented by brothers active in Student Government and working on publications. Nearly everyone took an enthusiastic part in intramurals, and, though few titles were won, the season was considered a success by all who participated. Socially, the chapter enjoyed a crackerjack of a year. Starting in the fall with a South Sea Island part) and continuing with the Christmas party, the annual Speakeasy bid party, and other smaller affairs; the social schedule always offered something special to look forward to. The vear was a good one for everyone at 33 Bay State and will long be remembered by all of the brothers who shared in its work and pleasures. PHILIP V . CHENEY President RICHARD A.

After waxing floors, washing windows, and installing furniture for two new commons rooms, the brothers sw itched their dungarees for their best suits to prepare for Rush eek, which proved to be a great success. During the year we achieved our principal goal of maintaining our high scholastic rating, due in no small part to the hard work and steadying influence of our senior class. AU was not study, however, for when Frida) evening came, the social depart- ment swung into high gear. There was scarcelv a weekend which did not witness some tvpe of party for the brothers and their guests. Among the outstanding social events of the vear were the annual pledge party and the annual Oriental Orgy. Our departing seniors will take manv memories with them, among them certainlv a deep regret over the passing of the second floor bathtub with the advent of our unofficial house pet — a cat which walked in the front door one night and adopted us. All in all. it was a great year scholastically, socially, and athletically. The loss of the class of 1957 will be deeply felt by the underclassmen; for our seniors have done much to help build our house in the four years they were at the Institute.

On the athletic front we competed with our usual good results in all intramural sports. Socially, our numerous informal parties, outings, and open bid extravaganzas made each weekend something to look forward to and remember. iNot to specifically mention our pledge party and our Monte Carlo, which were the talk of the campus, would be a grave injustice to our great social chairnien. To be among the leaders in scholastic rating has become an accepted fact around 450 Beacon, and this year proved to be no exception.

Those who remain behind will constantly recall Mike Brenner as l.F.C. Chairman and House President, only to mention a few of his many, varied, and highly successful endeavors. Few will forget Al Borstein as Rushing Chairman, Exchequer, and ingenious Social Chairman, or Harry Salesky, as Voo Doo Editor. Who will replace Andy Cohen and Jerry Collen on the gridiron, basketball court, and baseball diamond? Who will match the frate rnal interest given by Howie Phillips and Frank Salz? Finally, our entire senior class will undoubtedly look back at the many friends they leave at Xi Chapter with as much pleasure as we had being the fraternity brothers of Mike, Al. Harry. Jay, Frank. Andy, Howie, Dave, Barney, Jerry, Gene, Jim, Bob, and Tom. Those who depart will remember a year in which Sammy rose from its obscurity in intramural athletics, hosted the campus to several rousing parties, and participated in all aspects of campus life.

I. T. community. Having survived the pains of growing, we are now striving to make Sig Ep into an even better fraternity — one which will continue to contribute to the well-rounded educational growth of its brothers. A real appreciation of music has developed among the brothers at Massa- chusetts Delta. Aside from widespread hi-fi interest, the majority of the brothers participate in the Sig Ep Glee Club — a group which received top honors at the 1953. 1951. and 1955 All Tech Sings, and which showed active interest and participation in the Massachusetts District Sig Ep Sings of the past three years. Athletically speaking, Sig Ep teams have begun to appear high on the scoring ladder of intramural sports. Our position as undergraduate softball champions and as bowling champions helped us to place fourth in total points for the year. In intercollegiate sports Sig Ep is proud to have three varsity team captains, in addition to being ably represented on six other varsity teams. During the past vear scholastic honors have been bestowed upon the chapter for ranking third in the over-all fraternity ratings. Socially speaking, the chapter calendar was highlighted by the second annual Sig Ep Circus. Preceding this came the traditional Pledge Dance, vcith the annual Christmas Partv at a children ' s hospital and the festive Sweetheart Ball in the spring. To our departing seniors we wish every bit of success and express our heartiest appreciation to them for revealing to us the true meaning of fraternal spirit.

These men proved to be full of spunk and unity, which was well demonstrated by missing sophomore underwear shortly before Field Day. Just ask the man who owned some. The chapter took up activities in the intramural sports program by partici- pation in football, basketball, hockey, badminton, and Softball. Our success was not be glamorized or frowned upon. The house also had representatives in a wide variety of the intercollegiate sports. With the revival of tradition and tuning of voices, the chapter conducted a delightful serenade. It was enjoyed b) all of the ladies, including Mrs. James R. Killian. An outstanding social event of the )ear was the second amiual Sweetheart Ball held early in March. The highlight was the crowning of another Sweetheart of Alpha Theta. Other functions enjoyed were the Miami Triad Dance and the I.F.C. Dance. All of these weekends produced changes in the house, not oiih ph sicall , with the girls moving in and boss moving out, but also with the earnest attitude of study set aside and the carefree air of fun presiding. The serious side brings the thought of many hours spent over the books. Quiz reviews held before the freshmen quizzes were an integral part in the pro- gram for maintaining high scholastic achievement. With a large senior class leaving this year. Alpha Theta is looking forward to another exciting year with a big group of new faces, the old crowd, and undoubtedly the older grads. V ILLIAM T. BRANDON PresideM JOEL B.

T. has been a very successful one from all aspects. The social calendar began with the annual party given in honor of our new pledges. Next came our fall house party, which featured a formal dance at the Longwood Cricket Club and an informal party at Pocahontas Tavern. In December we held a party for under- privileged children, followed by our traditional Christmas party, at which there were many laughs as the brothers exchanged gifts. Spring house party on IFC weekend was highlighted by our annual open bid party. During the year Phi Betes participated in such diversified activities as the International Program Committee, Voo Doo, the Logarhythms, the Debating Society, the Q Club, the Radio Society, the Motor Sports Enthusiasts Club, Tau Beta Pi, and Pi Tau Sigma. In addition to entering teams in almost all of the intramural sports, we were represented on the varsity hockey, lacrosse, soccer, skiing, track, and cross country teams. In June, as always, we are looking forward to our annual reunion at Pine Orchard, Connecticut. Reunion each year gives the actives a chance to renew friendships with the alunmi during an informal weekend. WILLIAM T. ADAM Presfden f.

ROELLKE Treasurer PHI GAMMA DELTA Phi Gamma Delta lost little time getting into the swing of fall events. eek- ends were marked with football games, followed by a relaxing evening at one of the fall brawls. The Fiji footballers had a successful season while winning their league title, and there was usually something to celebrate about. The Halloween party, a victory party. Junior Prom weekend, and joint parties with other houses on campus kept us all socially alert. Most Saturday nights ended with the octet acquiring new members in a songfest around the piano. Field Day and intercollegiate sports found many Fijis doing their best to stay in shape and represent the Institute. Football, track, crew, swimming, skiing, hockey, lacrosse, and golf were the major sports in which we had lettermen; and of these sports, three had captains who were Phi Gams. We feel that sports are an important part of school life, and we are proud of the Beaver Key trophy whicli we won last year. During the school year other activities played a large part of our life at M. 1. T. Five of Phi Gannna Delta ' s men represented her on the Institute Com- mittee. The Secretariat. The Tech, loo Doo, T. C. A., and the Athletic Association were among the varied activities, as well as a number of class offices. Honoraries such as Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade. Beaver Key, Q Club, and P Club were other fields of endeavor. Our activities and athletics helped to broaden our interests and education. These, coupled with our bull sessions, excursions, and many good times together, gave us a good balance in our college education. They also helped in our close friendships and purple Fiji spirit.

PHI DELTA THETA As in past years Massachusetts Gamma has certainly lived up to its fine reputation for scholarship, fellowship, courtesy, and social life. But these attri- butes are just the basis for gi ing a person the pride of being a Phi Delt. Only intangible qualities such as spirit and unity could have made this the great year it has been. We have continued our community service projects for worthwhile causes, not only for the purpose of lending a helpful hand, but also to spread our spirits over a wider area. Our singing at dinner, parties, and pinnings shows that we have good reason to be known as a singing fraternity. The seniors will long remember our hard fought intramural contests, the Miami Triad, and house parties. But more than anything else they will remember our high degree of spirit and the many friends they have made in their stay at Massachusetts Gamma. Even a stranger in the house can feel the willingness to co-operate, without which no fraternity can mold its potential into something more than just a living group. Our chapter adviser, Bud Bryant, has been a big help, not by attempting to push us in any direction, but by working through the members, thus aiding us in achieving for ourselves the results we desire. We at Massachusetts Gamma feel that by working hard, both at school and at the house, we have contributed much to the MIT community. JAY D. SCHMUECKER Presidenf BOYD E.

The burden of the Institute was lifted earlv by a trip to the Blue Hills for our annual fall picnic. Other highlights of the social season were a hav ride and a very unusual beer and pizza blast thrown bv the pledge class. Phi Kappa also held its first star light ball which proved to be a very enjovable evening. Everyone received a real workout and had a lot of fun at our traditional Christmas party for fifty of Boston ' s underprivi- leged children. Santa Claus, Bob Laflamme. will remember this Christmas long after he has departed in June. Evervone seemed to recover enough from the social events to make it to the various athletic fields, and give their all for old P.K. However, the cry from most of the teams was wait ' till next year . Since our class of ' 59 is the athletic class of the house, this could come true. Our athletic soplKimores have also been giving their all for M. I. T.

Starting off the year by pledging nine men. the chapter went to work in the whirl of school and fraternity acti itice;. I ' hi Kappa Sigma was well represented in student government with Lndergraduate Association and class officers; in athletics with men on the freshman and sophomore football teams, and the varsity squash and basketball teams: and in music with members of the orchestra and ROTC liand. Intramural sports placed an important part in chajiler life. Kvery man took part and, win or lose, had great fun participating. The football team that was rebuilt last vear began to sparkle, and we look forward to an even better season next vear. The Skull House took on a smooth atmosphere in social activities this year, and most of the parties lost their blast aspect. The Pledge Party, Founder ' s Day, and Christmas Party topped the list of successful events. The annual Skull House SkufHe rocked Beacon Street as in previous years and helped add that extra touch to J. P. Weekend. After man) months of planning the remodeling of the interior of the chapter house is becoming a realit . This sununer should see 530 Beacon in the process of a face lifting. We have to tally up one loss that is really a big one. That is the passing of the senior class. We ' ll not forget the antics, devotion, and friendship of T Square, Lord, Gus, J.

Not to be forgotten either was our brilliant football victory ( first in six years!), or the time we reached the finals in softball (without playing a game). and also in volleyball ( the hard way I . But all was not fun and studying. The seniors have participated in such memorable house improvement projects as repapering the music room and all the halls with occasional assistance from Budweiser. painting several study rooms (flame red and canary yellow I . and sanding and varnishing many of the floors (wise with years of controlling the sander and watching freshmen slrusgle with it). Yes, the seniors have many memories, but among those which they shall hold the longest are those of the friendships which they made at Nu Delta. For here is where they, for the past four years, have found and offered true brotherhood, strengthened by a sense of unity and spirit which is felt by everyone at Phi Mud. The rest of us will also remember certain friendships acquired at Nu Delta, among them, those of the seniors — Schu, Bob, John, Marty. Jim, and Herb (Bugs).

After two accjuaintance dances to get things started, the I ' lii Sigs invaded the Boston Opera House late in October. We all enjoyed the fine presentation of Shaw ' s Major Barbara. ' The term ' s social activities continued with our hillbilly party in November and were topped off by the Christmas party on December 15. The spring term brought brothers from all our Region 1 chapters to Boston for the basketball tournament and a week-end of fun. As usual, the barn dance met with great success I no casualties reported), and our bid party in April wound up a happy and successful social year — this despite some brothers ' thoughts being on such far-away places as Michigan, Florida, and Los Angeles I Wheaton, it may be noted, has moved close enough to Boston to permit weekly visits this year I.

We painted, polished, and washed our way right through to rush week. Rush week was also a big success. This year ' s Rushing Chairman, Terry Hoyt, did a fine job of coordinating our activities during this period: and at week ' s end we had eleven new pledges: McLaughlin, Burns, DeMichaels. Gal, Bueche, Wong. Murphy. W indie, Von Benkin, Remmers, and Hopkins. Our first sizable party was a Heaven and Hell party held early in October. The members of each floor competed with one another by decorating separate rooms on the second floor. Our next, and most successful party, was a Hallowe ' en party held late in October. This party is an annual event for which the pledges make all the arrangements. The hit of the party was a large black cat. measuring 8 by 10 feet, which was made by the pledges. Complete with blinking light bulbs for eyes, it stood on the second floor balcony for several days. Later, it somehow found its way to the Simmons Campus. The Hallowe ' en party was followed by the traditional Vi ' inter Formal on the first of December. This party featured the usual wine and our famed champagne punch. Other parties included the Christ- mas party, house party weekend, and one of the I. F. C. cocktail parties. In addition to our social activities we were active in intramural sports, doing much better this year than in any other previous year. Individually, brothers were active in T.C.A., Technique.

B m nl Jr Schmalzgesicht Gesundheit 136 One of the evidences of the trend toward the socialization of Tech- nology has been the steady improvement oi the life in the student houses. This year has been conspicuous for the continuation of successful effort to outlive the impression that they comprise only a place to live and study. The principal aim of undergraduate student housing is to provide an adequate place for the complete concentration of solitude, and the proximity of someone who is studying in the same field makes the situa- tion ideal. The fact that the average rating of the men living on campus is higher than the Institute average supports this point impressively. The environment is not only conducive to a wider scope of life, but to more effective study. It is felt that members of the alumni body heartily approve of the social and living conditions now existing in the student houses, under a system of student government and freedom with respon- sibility, a Technology tradition of distinct and far reaching educational value. — Robertson Woods 136 DORMITORY COUNCIL Like the students, the Dormitory Council is undergoing a process of maturing, learning to fulfill the responsibilities of creating a favorable environment for the more than fifteen hundred dormitor) residents under its jurisdiction. This process, under the guidance of the administration, involves assuming areas on control, ac- quiring proficiency in the areas, helping the individual House Committees to take over the supervision of these areas, and then assuming still further areas of control. This year found the Council acting with informality but efiiciency, defining its policies more rigorously by specific problems and solving specific problems by reference to its established policies. Faced with no dramatic issues, the Council accomplished the tasks laid before it with much deliberation but little didiculty. The Dormitory Christmas Semi-Formal received a much greater turnout than was originally anticipated and was proclaimed a success from every standpoint. The Dormitory Telephone Directory was prepared and distributed in record time. The Judicial Com- mittee worked well in preventing infractions of the rules as well as straightening out the comparatively few violators. Co-ordination of the individual House Committees, especially in judicial authority and financial flexibility, proved very successful. The great amount of work the Dormitory Council was able to accomplish was due, in large measure, to the close harmony of the members, a situation all too rare in committees. With a growing awareness on its responsibilities to the MIT society in general, the Council investigated its present policies in the area of parietal rules and judicial systems by interviewing prominent citizens in the community who were qualified to review these topics. The Dormitory Council Leadership Conference, held last Novem- ber and attended by representatives from the MIT administration, the faculty, dormitory government, and various girls ' schools in the area, offered a number of recommendations for further action. The goal of the Dormitory Council, to evolve ... a code of living which stresses the maximum of personal liberty with the minimum of group discipline, the maximum of personal initiative with the minimum of group coercion, the maximum of personal responsibility with the minimum of group control, and the maximum of personal dignity with the minimum of group arrogance . . . was brought even closer to realization this year.

Baker House has done much in the last year to make itself more of a home for its residents. A newly-furnished lounge, centered near the attractive fireplace, had much use as a living room. The marble games on the rug became a familiar sight, and weekend marshmallow roasts grew very popular. Continuation of family-style meals led to the innovation of having tablecloths on Friday nights. It is not uncommon now to see a table of eight, four fellows and their dates, set with candles and a bottle of wine or champagne. Official house judicial action became unnecessarv as the Baker House Conunittee worked hard to help disciplinary matters settle themselves before they really had a chance to get started. Counseling and warning in a friendly though firm manner seemed more sensible than policing and punishing. The house responded very well, each member assuming his individual responsibility. Athletically, socially, and politically, Baker was very active. The most en- thusiastic crop of freshmen in years made up almost half the men on the football team and the three basketball teams. The softball, badminton, and hockey teams again reached the play-offs and were eliminated only after a hard fight. Fast becoming a part of Baker House tradition is the annual Christmas partv for underprivileged children, which was sponsored this year jointly by the Baker residents and T,C.A. Everyone who participated in the party derived a great deal of satisfaction and pleasure from it. In fact, there is some question as to who had the most fun — the children or their hosts. A Skit Night with com- petition between floors brought out many fellows who seldom attend other social functions. The dance Friendly Persuasion (or Girls Beware ) was the talk of the campus. Those who attended had a wonderful time. Bi-weekly but- teries provided a time for mid-week relaxation, with the accompanying House Auctions becoming a growing fad. Baker House Committee was able to spend more of its time this year considering house improvements. The newly-formed Department of Internal Facilities gave many house members who were eager to do something for the house, but not necessarily interested in politics, an opportunity to take of projects of their own. The year w as not without usual minor uprisings over commons meals. Some cuts in food quantity, the result of rising costs, met with much disapproval. However, a much better program of communication between the House Com- mittee and the administration has led to the selection of menus more to the liking of Baker residents. Baker House would not have been complete without its faculty residents. Dean and Mrs. Fassett and Professor and Mrs. Holland. Dean Fassett and Professor Holland (known as Fred and Morm around Baker) served as the guiding hands, counselors, and fellow conspirators of Baker residents through- out the year. 138 aker house Baker House— Class of 1957 139 ' iii Outside snow.

The past year certainly proved this in many ways. The fall term brought with it new faculty residents, Professor and Mrs. Neal Hartley, who embarked on their whirlwind of open houses, holiday dinners and help for both residents and their organizations. The Social Committee, discontent to be rivaled in brilliance by Professor Hartley ' s now famous sport jacket, bombarded the house with events such as the Creep and Moulin Rouge and startled everyone with their unusual decorations and dance atmosphere. Varsity Variations, the House ' s sing-for-the-fun-of-it group, just about sang itself out of existence while the Hobby Shop Committee beat, banged and sawed a new facility into being. Athletically, Burton went allout for intramurals, the Chess Club had numerous matches and The Christmas Festival Committee returned half-frozen from a December tree-cutting trip in the wilds of New Hampshire. As a result of recommendations from the long awaited Ryer Com- mittee report, the House saw plans for a new dining hall in the near future. Contrary to the expectations of the first floor residents they were not redistributed ' at mid-term to make room for construction. The House Newspaper, The Reflector, appeared faithfully with bi-weekly issues containing news and views of and for the residents, mental stimulation in the form of diabolical puzzles, and an incredible Page Four called The Ivory Tower . 142 .w n9= The nights are short. The House Committee, unchallenged by its mere appropriation of funds for existing activities, sponsored a few more, made the much used laundry a lOO ' i Burton establishment and pushed the drive for Burton improvements. Add to this, their meetings with the administra- tion, the publishing of the Freshman Pamphlet, the improvements in the House Darkroom, the incessant clicking of the mimeograph machine and the sound of the silk screening publicity posters — and you are just beginning to get an idea of what went on. In the line of unoflicially organized activities, there were a few social gatherings with the Cambridge Fire Department, odd mailings to certain House boxes, ridiculous rumors about certain cooking ap- pliances, unintelligible election material, mixed emotions about first semester grades, and many, many things to tell future grandchildren. .-. ■ ' •.

East Campus is, by its very nature, the most difficult of the MIT dormitories in which to arouse any unity of purpose or community spirit among its residents. For this reason the overwhelming success of the various East Campus social endeavors this year is particularly signifi- cant. The East Campus Coffee Hours, featuring such outstanding guests as Dean Rule, Professor Ingard, and Professor Norbert Wiener, offered an excellent oppor- tunity for relaxation and informal conversation. Professor Ernest Levy, one of the East Campus faculty residents, contributed immeasurably to the social program by the informal gatherings which he often held in his apartment and by his concert performances on the piano, which were held in the Music Library for the benefit of East Campus residents. The East Campus Social Committee sponsored several dances in Walker Memorial and provided dancing lessons for those who wished to improve their dancing skill. East Campus expanded its athletic program considerably this year. Intramural competition was available in touch football, basketball, and baseball. Tennis courts, ping-pong tables, and a pool table were all close at hand; and, of course, the MIT Alumni Swimming Pool and Squash Courts are located just across the parking lot from East Campus. Among the less strenuous but none-the-less important sports enjoyed by East Campus residents were the perennial favorites: chess, poker, and bridge. One of the most interesting stories of life in East Campus for the 19.56-57 school vear concerns Talbot Lounge, which is adjacent to the East Campus office in the first floor of the Munroe unit. Newly redecorated at great expense just before school opened in September, Talbot played an important role by serving as a place for East Campus residents to relax and read a magazine or play cards. But the pleasures derived from Talbot Lounge during the Fall Term were short-lived, for early one October morning a fire started in Talbot which caused so much damage that the lounge had to be completely redecorated again — a task which was not completed until January. The loss of the use of Talbot Lounge for several months certainly dealt a blow to the solidarity of the East Campus comnmnity. On the other hand, the sophomores of East Campus proved their ability to work together as a team. Late one evening just before Field Day they organized themselves into groups of about eight and systematically visited each freshman, relieving him of a pair of jjants and painting ■■1959 in brilliant purple letters across his forehead. And so the year passed . . .Every East Campus resident liad the opportunity to take his nose out of his books long enough U take part in one, or several, of the many diversions which were offered to him: spurts, dancing, an occasional riot or water-fight. t r the Christmas Party given for the underprivileged children of Cambridge — each of liicse a small iuit important cog in the intricate mechanism of life at MIT. 146 •SsU ?

Student House celebrates its 26th anni er- sary this year. For more than twenty years the house was supported bv outside contributions, but with the termination of this support in 1953 a large body of the former residents organized and provided the necessary funds on a sustained basis to make it financially possible for the House to continue. The House is actually operated entirely by the student members, who manage the building and do all the work themselves aside from cooking and certain items of maintenance. Moreover, the House rules and govern- ment are also handled by the students. 1 he spirit engendered by such a mode of living is a positive aid to scholarship and to extra-curricular activities. ser ing to knit the membership closely to- gether and to form the basis for many lasting friendships. 150 The Frosh throw a party. Photo by Student House omens dorm Now in its twelfth year, the IM.I.T. Women ' s Dormitory is called home, at least f(ir most of the year, by seventeen Tech coeds and their housemother, Mrs, Margaret Alvord, who is appointed by the Advisory Committee for V ' omen Students. Each spring the house elects its own officers. Through the President, Toni Deutsch, and the rest of the house officers — Vice-President Martha Goodway, Secretary-Treasurer Joanna Muckenhaupt, Work Captain Carol DifTv, and Freshman I{epresentative Gun Hovik — the activities of the house are coordinated. They also help to keep the house running smoothly and pleasantly. The dorm is managed on a cooperative arrangement, each girl having some household task, such as preparing breakfast or washing dishes, to perform. At present the main project of the girls is to try to get the buzzer system to work regularly. Monday evening is guest night at 120 Bay Stale Road. This is a traditional custom of inviting professors and their wives to dinner. Plans for expansion of living quarters are now in progress; by next year many of the coeds will be very happily housed in a wing of an apartment building near the ' Institute.

As a promoter of invigorating managemental coordination and the broad cultivation of conjunctive working abilities they have no peer. The individualistic importance of each of the greater organizations has only recently become recognized by their several leaders; and the establishment of a different approach toward activity cooperation, re- moved from the student governmental structure, offers new opportuni- ties for independent operations. Thus promulgation of the educational policy has been achieved partially, with future horizons available for exploration. — Rogers Jamison Wollcott III 152 li ■ Tl HHI 1 --. . - HHhlI ' s f B E g , - ■ ■ ' JF B MP ' ME •j- ., :.-.- ' .-■ .- « v,- Mgj -nH 1 1 H p V, — fjj ■ 1 H ■ H i V ■ 1 - F k •• 1 j| 5 EXie ir 5SSSS A Committee of Institute students, with little travel experience and observing vast unknowns, can not really be expected to chart a clear and defined route to clear and finite goals and objectives. And when the inconsistent murmur of previous travellers impedes progress, the final resort is to an inadequate transportation facility. The realization that the primary function of most of the subcommittees of the higher student governmental organization is directly related to activity services has been expressed recently, leading directly to a challenging and searching examination of the purposes and aims of this government; and its relation to the activities. A clarifying solution will have concrete results and establish a firm foothold from which to advance, and an economical efficient structure on which to build a future organization. — Rogers Jamison Wolcott III INSTITUTE COMMITTEE Desiring to better the orientation program at M.I.T.. the Institute Committee worked effectively to change the previous system as its first project of the new year. Much study centered around hazing and its general effect as a means of orientation. Support- ing previous legislation in this area steps were taken to stop hazing. Numerous studies at hand evolved many ideas which should vastly improve next year ' s program. One suggestion and problem that the Interfraternity Conference is engaged in is a program of deferred rushing. Legislatively, this year ' s Committee did much to alleviate problems in ballot-count- ing and clarified the duties of the classes, class officers, etc., through a revised class constitution. Completing the autonomy of student finances. Inscomm succeeded by establishing the Finance Board and reclarifying the functions of Finance Committee. Now, the students have complete control of financial allotments made to the various activities open to the M.I.T. community. To help better the life of commuters at M.I.T., extensive remodelling of rooms in Walker for their use was instituted. Commuters may now relax in congenial lounge- type settings that compete with the finest in the school. Several fact-finding committees including the Parking Committee and the Communi- cations Committee have helped ease many student problems. Out of these reports it is hoped changes will be put in effect. . . . There may yet be a solution to the parking problem! The bienniel Open House in late April showed Greater Boston and many others an intimate glance at M.I.T. and student life. This promoted better ties with our neighbors. It is hoped that this, and future Open Houses, will attract more and more prospective college students to the engineering field. Feverish activity at Tech followed the actions of students in their revolt in Hungary. Mass meetings were held at Kresge and other places in Boston. The first Institute Student Assembly helped show student opinion to the world. Out of this activity grew numerous fund-raising campaigns. Plans were also settled to support Hungarian stu- dent-refugees at M.I.T. in the next year. All in all, Institute Committee can be proud of its record . . . furthering the interests of students ... in leading M.I.T. to nobler expressions of student opinion. However, this was more than an exercise in student government ... we will not forget the beach party . . . conferences at Endicott House . . . the Christmas Decoration party. Again, these and many more provided a busy, challenging, and enjoyable year. MALCOLM M.

EDWARD ROBERTS rm ■o I m j- Activities Council Search and reevaluation marked the major occupation of the Activities Council during the past year. In its third year of existence, the Council has devoted a considerable amount of time and thought during its tenure to defining its areas of jurisdiction and seeking the most effective or- ganizational form for activities coordination, representa- tion, and government. As presently constituted the council is composed of one representative from each of the thir- teen Class A activities and five representative chosen from some 80 Class B groups, one from each of the five Class B subdivisions: (1) Professional Societies and Honorary Groups; (2) Religious Activities; (3) Hobby, Musical and Dramatic Groups; (4) Honor Societies (non-profes- sional); and (5) Social Activities. This group, meeting biweekly, has been plagued with the same problem which faced the previous year ' s Council; i.e. most of its time was taken up with the least exciting task of approving consti- tutional changes in existing activities and in recognizing new groups on campus. Realizing the serious harm to the permanence of the Activities Council which could result from lack of interest virtued by these structural problems. Council members have considered ways and means of re juvenating the activities governing body which previously had shown great potential in achieving a significant posi- tion in student government. Work along these lines reached their peak last Decem- ber, when the Council sponsored a dinner meeting and conference of all Class A activity presidents, selected Class B presidents, and invited guests from the facultv and ad- ministration at the Graduate House. From this group came almost unanimous support for the principles of a program offered by Bruce Blanchard (Athletic Association) and Fitzhugh Rawls (TCA), whereby a new Council would be formed composed of Class A activity heads only who would meet monthly with invited faculty and administra- tion personnel and representative Class B presidents to discuss problems of mutual importance to all the activities. Three men from among the Class A prexys would be elected as the executive board for the Council, and woulif all hold voting seats on the Institute Committee. This small select board could handle procedural matters between meetings which would be greatly simplified by more ef- fective utilization of such groups as Finance Committee and Secretariat to handle administrative work. At the time of this writing, the Council is attempting to iron out the technicalities of this proposal, but judging from the unanimity of opinion which pervaded the conference meet- ing, it would seem rather certain that the new structure will be approved by the activities. Following such adop- tion the Institute Committee would have to act to modify their own representation before the plan could be carried out. Earlier in the year Council representatives busied them- selves in helping to revise the undergraduate financial set- up with the Council President Ed Roberts serving on the student-faculty and administration Committee on Inde- ACTIVITIES COUNCIL MEMBERS EDWARD B.

These groups formulated and put to test Undergraduate ideas for achiev- ing greater financial independence for Tech ' s undergrad- uate student government and committees and our approx- imatelv 100 recognized student activities. These activities on the whole increased in participating membership and several new groups attained formalized status under Ac- tivities Council supervision. They include: T Club, the honorary organization for all MIT letterman; Tau Kappa Alpha, The National Honorary for debate and forensics. Baptist Student Union, Swim Club, Physics Society, and several others. 156 Association of Women Students This September we welcomed the largest group of fresh- man coeds in the history of the Institute. During Fresh- man Weekend, the dorm was filled with twenty-three eager freshmen and three older -girls. After a Cook ' s tour of MIT and the Boston area, the new girls were introduced to their big sisters at the Registration Day luncheon which was attended by all coeds. Our first mixer of the term, the Fall Open House, brought many food-seekers and socializers to Cheney Room. We are grateful to the MIT Matrons for the tasty refreshments they supplied for this occasion. The Matrons showed further interest in our group by arranging to have guest speakers at several of our meetings. A large crowd of students and staff members flocked to Cheney Room for our Christmas Open House. They were treated to a large variety of goodies, prepared for the event by several of our girls. The lounge was brightly decorated for the holidays, and our wobbly Christmas tree caught the spirit of things and remained upright. In fact, the tree even survived the Childrens ' Christmas Party the following day. We stuffed our young guests with ice cream, candy, and home-made cookies. Santa Claus dropped by with presents for everyone. In an attempt to get more graduate students to partici- pate in the activities of the AWS, we held a graduate stu- dent mixer in the late fall. Beverly Beane, an AWS gradu- ate student, was awarded one of the most coveted honors attainable by a woman in the field of engineering, the Tau Beta Pi Woman ' s Badge. A formal presentation of the award was made at the December banquet of the Mas- sachusetts Beta Chapter.

Commuter Council within the Student Government section of Technique 1957 sym- bolizes the recognition of a new and promising group on campus. Student Government, the Administration, and in- terested Commuters coordinated their efforts to bring the Commuter Association Area opened earlv this year. Dining Commuter Council, the governing body of the Commu- ter Association, was sanctioned by Institute Committee in the Spring of 1956. Immediately the Council set forth to work with the Administration in order that its new home on the second floor of Walker Memorial Building might be furnished with the necessary proposed facilities. The Commuter Association re-opened early this year. Dining facilities for nearly one hundred Commuters are now in- corporated in the Blue Room. Potted palms, attractive and comfortable chairs and sofas, tables, and a radio- phonograph-television combination complete the decor of the lounges. The purpose of the Commuter Association is to inte- grate the Commuting Student into the MIT Community. Commuting students have already shown a greater interest in campus affairs. In intramural sports, for example. Com- muters, through the Association, have shown not only an interest to compete, but the ability to win. The Commuter Council has already been placed at the level of IFC and Dorm Comm in Student Government. It is hoped that within the very near future the Commuters of the Association itself will show as great an interest in campus affairs as do the members of the other living groups.

In this capacity it administers the Un- dergraduate Association Budget by maintaining the finan- cial records of those activities and committees whose rec- ords are kept by the Finance Committee, and by dispers- ing funds to the treasuries of the activities and committees who handle funds through their own treasuries. The Fi- nance Committee also acts as a financial advisory board to all undergraduate student activities. This past year, under the leadership of Jay Hammerness, the Finance Committee has put into effect several import- ant changes, which have resulted in more efficient book- keeping and in more efficient supervision of the finances of the undergraduate activities. The most important of changes are: revision of the By-laws of the Finance Com- mittee; a new policy regarding admission taxes, which is beneficial to the activities concerned, and yet conforms to government tax regulations; and a program of orientation designed to instruct new members in the standard opera- ting procedure of the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee chairman this year was Jay Hammerness. The members of the Junior Board were: An- tonia Deutsch, Mike Falk, and Jeff Ingram. M. Folk, A. Deutsch, J. Hammerness, J. Ingram. Finance Board During the past year, under the direction of Chairman Jay Hammerness, the financial branch of the undergrad- uate student government has undergone an important and progressive re-organization. Under the new independent financing system which was initiated by the 1955-56 In- stitute Committee, a permanent finance board was estab- lished to make all policy decisions concerned with the financial operations of the undergraduate association. Spe- cifically, the Finance Board is directly responsible for draw- ing up the Undergraduate Association budget, and for ob- taining the annual Administration appropriation, the fund appropriated by the Institute for the support of student organizations. The Finance Board is further directly re- sponsible for the distribution and the control of the annual Administration appropriation. In order to implement the organization of the new Fi- nance Board, it was necessary for the chairman and the members to write the By-laws of the Finance Board. In this, its first year of existance, the finance board has stud- ied many weighty problems and in the solution of these problems has laid the foundations upon which sound fi- nancial policy for the Undergraduate Association can be built. The Finance Board consists of: The Undergraduate As- sociation treasurer as chairman; the Undergraduate As- sociation Vice-President; the treasurer of the Activities Council; and four members at large.

Established as the secretarial subcommittee of Inscomm, the Secretariat continued to function this year in its tra- ditionally inefficient manner. Under the inept leadership of Dick Hughes, Chairman, and Chuck Ingraham, Office Manager, the Secretariat has increased its membership in all four divisions. Jim Austin, heading the Elections Division, has done little throughout the year to improve ballot-counting, still a very touchy subject. This division is responsible for student elections. The Social Division, directed by Jay Schindler, is irre- sponsible at all student social events. The division has done much research to help organizations get a list of certain bands and impertinent facts about them. A more incom- patible program for defraying dance expenses in Morss Hall was also imposed. Keeping inaccurate officer lists, as well as the constitu- tions of cooperating undergraduate activities is one of the major duties of the Secretarial Division. Led by Emil Wright, this division has continued to misrecord minutes of M.I.T. student government inactivities. The Publicity Division, in addition to regulating pub- licity facilities around the school, fosters less publicity through dissemination of feelthy peectures and by try- ing this year to provide more pornography for M.I.T. activities. Due to the work of some of its members in all divisions, the Secretariat has lost irrevocably its place at the hub of student government activities.

During its second year of activity, the Student Commit- tee on Educational Policy, replacing the Student Faculty Committee, again proved the worth of the organizational arrangements which established it. Composed of 26 members under the able leadership of Bob Batchelder, SCEP, was given the role of investigative body for the Institute Committee, the newly formed Liai- son Council, and the administration in general. In opera- tion, the committee often broke up into smaller groups to study specific phases of a problem, recombining to crystal- lize the component parts into reports on the subject at hand. Meetings were usually held once a week, often with a speaker from the Faculty or some other group present to outside views on problems under discussion. The first task undertaken by the committee was a thor- ough study of the tutorial problem. As a result of the Committee ' s investigation, the problem was defined and several concrete recommendations were returned to Ins- comm. Later in the year, questions relating to a confer- ence advising enrollments were considered at the behest of NSA. Manv other studies were undertaken. 160 National Student Association The Natfonal Student Association is in essence a repre- sentative body of students from approximately 660 Amer- ican colleges and universities. The main business of N.S.A. is carried out by a coordinator and in some cases a com- mittee, on each campus. The campuses in turn belong to a regional division of N.S.A. where many problems of a regional nature are considered in conference and where regional contact is maintained by a regional chairman. M.I.T. belongs to the New England Region. In addition to the regional conferences, where the national policy is dis- cussed in relation to the regional campuses, there is an annual congress where all member colleges are represent- ed. National policy is voted on by all member colleges. These decisions refer only to problems affecting students on a local, national and international level. They are rec- ommendations and need not be enacted on the individual campuses. The job of the coordinator at M.I.T. is one essentially of coordination. He is on hand to procure for any activity as much information as is available. He assists the activi- ties and student government by acting as the voice of N.S.A. on the campus, both by keeping in contact with the national office and with student government here at Tech.

International Program Committee The International Program Committee is made up of undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in taking advantage of a unique situation of MIT: the highest percentage of foreign students of all American universities. Due to the high foreign student enrollment here, there is an excellent opportunity to learn about other countries and people. The activities of the IPC are many and varied. There is an orientation program for the new foreign students. Also, trips to nearby colleges and universities help to ac- quaint the foreign student with something more than MIT. A trip to the TVA, during spring vacation, is always very popular. Also in the spring, the International Week, with displays and with talks and discussions at the Endicott House, focuses attention on the international scene. Throughout the year, talks are arranged on current inter- national issues. Radio interviews with foreign students present informally much information about life and cus- toms in foreign countries. The IPC is currently working on a program to bring foreign students to the USA. In a more direct connection with international affairs, a clothes drive was held for the Hungarian refugees. As well as carrying on these and other affairs, the IPC keeps in close contact with other colleges and universities on a national and international level.

Since that time, over a year and a half ago, P.R.C. has accomplished more than at any other time in its history. Last year ' s very successful high school open house was just a prelude to this year ' s activities. The good relations between Tech and the high schools were kept up by a stream of news releases to the schools concerning their graduates. A home- town news release program was inaugurated and supported by activity leaders from whom the news must come. The fall and spring te rm activities calendars were published, the latter with a picture of the proposed Student Union Center. Thanks to P.R.C, the Field Day and Junior Prom were well covered by the Boston press; and the introduc- tion of a Queen added a new glitter to the occasion. Now, with a well trained staff of sophomores and juniors, P.R.C. faces the next few years with a new confidence in their ability and value of their work.

Field Day Committee The purpose of the Field Day Committee is to admin- ister Field Day and all its associated activities. It also offers to aid the Freshman Class in getting organized, a chance for them to mingle with each other, and a chance to direct their spirit of adjustment along suitable lines. In order to increase the interest and spirit in Field Day this year, greater emphasis was placed on the sports events, such as, crew, football, swimming, relay race, tug- of-war, and the climactic Glove Fight. Again this year, a Queen was chosen for the weekend at the Junior Prom, for whom we refer you to page 170. This Field Day, the 56th, was outstanding for one other reason: it did not rain, for which event we must, no doubt, thank the hard-work- ing members at the left. FIELD DAY COMMITTEE 1. to R; C. L.

Additionally, the IFC and Dormitory system have their own Judicial committees which are sub- ordinate to the Inscom Judicial Committee. The Committee is composed of five voting members; the Chairman and Secretary are elected by Institute Com- mittee and IFC, Dormitory Council and 5:15 Club each have a voting representative and a non-voting represent- ative. Action may be initiated by the Committee at the re- quest of the Dean ' s office. A member of the Committee, a student activity or a student may appeal a case from one of the living group Judicial Committees. The Committee this year has continued the policy of keeping the student body informed as completely as pos- sible. It is the hope of the Committee that through proper communication, situations which may eventually involve Judicial action can be avoided. Since the Judicial System is a fairly recent addition to student government, the Committee has worked to clarify Judicial procedures to the extent of making several changes in the Committee By-laws.

Dean ' s Committee for the Student Union The Student Union Committee is happy to report the appointment of the Dean ' s Committee on the Student Union by Dean John T. Rule, for the purpose of working on problems related to establishing the Student Union on the M.I.T. Campus. The noted Architect, Eero Saarinen, who designed the Kresge Auditorium and Chapel, has agreed to serve as architect for the Student Union building when plans are matured. This year most of our time was devoted to further dis- cussions of the functions of the union as a means of furthering the informal education processes at Tech and broadening channels of communication. The problems other universities encountered in creating Student Unions were studied in detail. Several trips were made to unions of neighboring universities, and many valuable ideas emerged from these visits. Three members of this committee were appointed to the Dean ' s Committee and have acted as Liaison and as repre- sentatives of the Student Union. Campuswide interest in the Student Union project among the MIT family has never been greater.

Qualitive selection plays an important part in this developing process of creative education. With a multiplicity of honors is con- ferred an abundance of responsibilities. The challenge to one who has been made a living symbol of a set of ideas is great, and the effectiveness of his solution to this representational problem is the indication of his real merit. — Rogers Jamison Wolcott III OSIRIS A SENIOR SOCIETY DEDICATED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HONORARY MEMBERS •Henry S.

The college that affords its students opportunity to learn some science and a little history, to read the classics of literature, to taste a small portion of sociology, economics, and anthropology, to appreciate art and music, to examine philosophies and question theologies has only begun its proper function. The great purpose of education is to help young men and women to become self- reliant, responsible citizens in a cooperative community. I am not at all sure that self- reliance and responsibility can be taught in the same sense that physics and history can be taught. Initiative, imagination, cooperation and responsibility can, however, be learned, given the environment of the academic community. This is the great need in American education . . . This need is our special responsibility. EVERETT MOORE BAKER Late Dean of Students 175 TAU BETA PI At the writing of this report the MIT chapter of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering society, numbers 125 active members and will grow to over 200 by June. This is a huge organization with a huge task to perform: to be of service to the Institute in those activities for which such a group of students (chosen from all engineer- ing courses on the basis of outstanding scholarship and exemplary character — men who are leaders of student activity at MIT) is ideally suited. Among these activities are course evaluation and in- structor evaluation services, which may be requested by any staff member to aid him in evaluating the quality of his instruction. A program of visitations to high school students applying for admission to MIT will be initiated in the spring term to assist them in making more enlight- ened choices of college. Of special interest is a plan of Sophomore aides to Seniors and graduate students work- ing on theses. This program is organized to give the Sophomores an insight to what sort of work their class- room studies may lead and, as a result, to boost their en- thusiasm for technical studies. Not to be overlooked are the benefits to Tau Betes of association with each other and faculty members, and the bi-annual initiation banquet and dance — to welcome and honor new members.

CHRISTIAN 176 SIGMA XI SIGMA XI Unlike the various honorary societies concerned with specific fields of science or engineering, the Society of the Sigma Xi strives for the promotion of original investiga- tion in all fields of engineering with its many branches and of science, including psychology, medicine, mathe- matics, and the national sciences. It is the goal of the so- ciety to foster a spirit of understanding and companion- ship among research workers, who form an integral part of modern society. This objective is explicitly borne out in a phrase analagous to the ideal of the Society: partners in investigation. Since its inception seventy years ago at Cornell Univer- sity, chapters of the Sigma Xi have insured rigid stand- ards in the practice of bestowing honors to those who, in the world of scientific investigation, have rendered service to humanity. In more than one hundred universities and colleges and schools of science and engineering in the United States chapters of the Sigma Xi have been estab- lished through the keen insight of those administrators desirous of effective recognition of those exemplifying the highest ideals of the Society. To further instill the practice of continued striving for even greater scientific horizons, approximately fifty Sigma Xi clubs have come into being in colleges and industrial research laboratories where no chapter exists at present. Twenty two years ago, in August of 1934, the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology chapter was founded. By the end of its first year, well over one hundred members and associates were listed, many of whom presently are members of the Institute faculty. Four times a year the Society publishes a journal, the American Scientist. which carries to all people partici- pating or those merely interested in the progress of science and engineering, valuable contributions and communica- tions. In order to stimulate and facilitate the achievement of its goals of continued scientific research of the highest caliber, the Society maintains a research fund available for grants in research. 177 PI TAU SIGMA The M.I.T. Pi Kappa Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma was or- ganized in April, 1947. Since then it has been active in establishing a closer Student-Faculty relationship and al- lowing recognition for outstanding Mechanical Engineer- ing Students. Admission is based not only upon high scholastic achievement, but also upon participation in ac- tivities both in and associated with the Institute. The Chapter undertakes projects each term to help fos- ter the high ideals of the Mechanical Engineering Depart- ment. MEMBERS William Adam David A. Appling Raymond P. Auyang William G. L.

Nobel 178 ETA KAPPA NU Eta Kappa Nu, the National Electrical Engineering Honor Association, was founded at the University of Illi- nois in 1904, and has grown steadily, presently listing 67 undergraduate chapters and twelve alumni chapters from Boston to San Francisco. Beta Theta Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu was established at MIT in 1939. Like its parent Association, the chapter strives to improve the standing of the Electrical Engineer- ing profession in general, and to aid the Institute in pro- viding sound Electrical Engineering education. To further these aims, the chapter has compiled, and annually revises, a list of suggested thesis topics. This year, an informal company information system was set up to help those, seeking employment, evaluate the several hard-to-define factors so important in company morale. Although the academic requirements of elegibility for membership are stringent, the chapter endeavors to make election to membership more than a recognition of scho- lastic achievement. Leadership, breadth of interest and activity, and personal integrity are factors of paramount importance in the selection of new members. The officers of the fall term were: William Northfield, President; Jack Haenichen, Vice-President; John Pen- hune. Treasurer; Ray Stata, Recording Secretary; Chuck Persons, Corresponding Secretary; Dick Brooks, Bridge Correspondent.

This organization works closely with the Department of Civil Engineering in furthering interest and providing an incentive for greater achievements in the profession. Each year it assumes projects which will work towards the ben- efit of the department and will draw more men toward the profession. MEMBERS Jordan McClaran, 1 ' 58 Terry S.

The aims and pur- poses of the Society are the promotion of high scholar- ship and original investigations in all branches of pure and applied chemistry. Election of juniors, seniors, and graduate students in courses closely allied with chemistry to Phi Lambda Up- silon is based primarily on outstanding academic achieve- ments. Students in the fields of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy, Biology, Food Technology, Business and Engineering Administration (based on Chemical Sciences), and Biochemical Egineering at M.LT. are among those eligible for membership. Annually, the freshman selected for his outstanding rec- ord in the first year Chemistry course is honored by the Beta Alpha Chapter. 181 SIGMA GAMMA TAU i fiinwivrtnuju MEMBERS Richard H.

Sigma Gamma Tau. the Aeronautical Engineering hon- orary society, strives to recognize those Courses XVI stu- dents who have demonstrated outstanding scholstic ability. However, membership is not based solely on scholastic achievement; such factors as character, activity, and con- tribution to Institute life count heavily in the selection of members. Since the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers, interest in flying has steadily increased. The im- portant role of air power in World War II has stimulated public interest in flying. Since the war. the extensive use of airplanes for travel, commerce, and national defense has multiplied the importance of the aircraft industry. Consequently, the men who design and construct air- planes today make important contributions to American society. Sigma Gamma Tau devotes itself to the stimulation of interest in aeronautics and to the promotion of further scientific development in aerodynamics and aircraft de- sign. To achieve these ends, Sigma Gamma Tau serves as°a discussion center for M.I.T. students interested in the various aspects of the aircraft industry. However, the society is not solely of an honorary nature. In addition to the academic activities, Sigma Gamma Tau members find that their organization is a refuge from the day-to- day grind at Tech. 182 BATON SOCIETY MEMBERS J. B. Dennis B. E. Edwards J. M. Graetz W. B. Marks D. A. Place A. T. Prentiss A. D. Sterns W. A. Wiltanen The Baton Society has as its purpose the promotion of interest in music on the M.I.T. campus. It is an honorary group whose members have been chosen as a result of their demonstrated ability and interest through participa- tion in musical activities here at Tech, both as performers and in management capacities. The activities of the Baton Society range from assisting the musical department and the individual musical clubs in their presentations to sponsoring various outside groups in performances here. The annual All Tech Sing, and Tech Night at the Boston Pops are also included in the Baton Society ' s endeavors. Some notable functions which have taken place under the sponsorship of Baton Society are the opera Don Pasquale by the New England Opera Theatre, an organ recital by Pierre Cochereau, on the new organ in Kresge Auditorium, and a recital by the promising young violinist, Leopold Avakian. 183 GROGO THE HONORARY SOCIETY TO TECHxMQUE Fellows of the Society John Loring Andrews Br- dford Stevens Barnes Richard Lewis Carson Franklin Koon Hu Ching Joseph David Cohn Gary Jay Fallick Philip Noel Gallagher, Jr. Jeffrey James Coleman Ingram Phillip Issenberg Edward Fred Schuman.

It is also vitally interested in the furthering of athletics at M.I.T., an example of this being the Beaver Key Intermural Trophy awarded to the winners in inter- mural competition. Similarly, in attempting to develop that intangible thing known as school spirit, the Key has actively supported this year ' s group of energetic cheerleaders. The membership of the Key is composed of thirty men who have been outstanding in their contri- butions to sports and to other extra-curricular activities at M.I.T. Acting in its capacity as host, the Key contacts opposing teams a month prior to their engagement, and upon their arrival the group is cordially welcomed by members of the Key. This welcome includes taking the players to their room and meal accommodations and conducting them on guided tours of the school, all of which are previously arranged by Beaver Key. Following the game, the teams that have just battled on the field are invited to an in- formal gathering where the men from each school have an opportunity to relate and compare their experiences. The friendships made at these gatherings are not only of life-long value to the individual, but also help establish better relations between M.I.T. and other schools on a personal basis. The Key was directed this year in its activities by Presi- dent, Bob Jordan; Vice-President, Chuck Ingraham; Sec- retary, Dan Holland; Treasurer, Mac Jordan, and Mem- ber-at-Large, Bill Daily.

Many people felt that this decision would mean the discontinuation of M. I. T s Sophomore honor society, the Quadrangle Club. In previous years, the Q club had been renowned for its hazing abilities. Then, early in October 1956, the Q club issued a new statement of policy and aims. The Q club became a service organi- zation, dedicated to help and benefit the M. I. T. com- munity. In the short period of time since the re-organization of the club, its members have done a great deal to benefit the school. Plans are now being discussed on methods to improve Tech Cabin. a favorite rendezvous of many fraternities and other living groups. A school spirit drive has been started and Q club members are in the process of creating several new and improved cheers for the student body. The be st reflection of the successful re-organization of the club, however, lies in the resounding victory on Field Day over the class of 1960. Losing only one event, the class of ' 59 swamped the Freshman 17 to 5. The officers of this year ' s Q club were B. Blomstrom, President; D. Lytle, Vice-President; I. Staples, Treasurer; R. Simon, Member-at-large and Pat Minnela and B. Muh, Secretaries. Pat, incidentally, is the first girl to become a member of the club. The Q club would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of this year ' s Sopho- more class for the great efl ' ort they have put forward in making the class of 1959 one of the Institute ' s finest. 187 iki ' i ' 1 m SCABBARD AND BLADE Company G-5 of the national college military fraternity, Scabbard Blade, is one of over one-hundred other or- ganizations in colleges and universities throughout the country dedicated both to training men to become better prepared to lead our country in the future and to help keep abreast of current military developments. Members are chosen on a selective screening basis from the Advanced Reserve Officers Training Corps Cadets on the basis of activity, ability, interest, merit, general mili- tary bearing and their ability to make a valuable contri- bution to Institute life. The activities of the Company include smokers, socials, field trips, and the presentation of the annual Military Ball. Although the Ball was accompanied last year by a blizzard it turned out to be quite enjoyable to all who could make it. Recently a field trip was taken to the Boston Navy Yard Annex for a tour through the Battle Cruiser Albany which is being overhauled there. The trip was very informative and similar trips are being planned in the future. Our advisors are Maj. V. E. Bobbins of the Army and Capt. F. Vi ' . Dedrich of the Air Force.

Hohman MIT is the home of the 12th Regimental Headquarters of the Society of Pershing Rifles. This society is a national organization for cadets in the basic course of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. This means that the members of any ROTC unit, aval, Army, or Air Force, are eligible for membership. As it is, in general, the aim of ROTC units to give a student basic training in elementary mili- tary arts, so it is in accordance with these aims that the Pershing Rifles tries to foster friendship and cooperation in the mihtary department and to promote the efficiency of the cadet corps. To become a member of the C-12 Company here at MIT, a cadet must go through a certain pledge period to prove his interest in the organization. Then, as a member, he is entitled to wear the distinctive blue and white Persh- ing Rifle cord and to participate in all of the society ' s activities which include special training in the military sciences. 189 m B m. g if The students of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Cambridge 39, are fortunate in having the privilege and the opportunity to peruse, at their leisure, four publications of individual mettle, and in some cases, worth. The professional publications are those whose indi- vidual member ' s, attitude toward their work is on a level commensurate with the highest standards of artistry, relying for their inspiration on that subtle quality which transcends mere brilliance. The cooperative spirit that has been achieved between groups of the several organizations is commendable, per se, but it lacks the comprehensive unity and direction essential for providing the focal point in the furthering of common interests. This is tlie emphasis toward which the next steps must be taken. — Rogers Jamison Wollcott III ZcckHujue J957 RALPH J. WARBURTON Genera Manager EDWARD F. SCHUMAN Edifor-in-Chief BRADFORD S.

Eor its govern- ment the Staff has adopted a set of Rules and Regulations w hich set forth the duties and powers of its President and Secretary, and of its standing committees w hich include those on Graduate School Policy. Undergraduate Policy, Eirst Two Years, General Education, L ' ndergraduate Courses, Student Environment, Admissions. Omissions, and Industrial Liaison. These Rules and Regulations also provide for a Staff Council which permits preliminary dis- cussion of questions of major policy by a smaller group prior to submissions of these questions for action at the General Staff meetings. Though the Technique has but a single Staff, which meets and deliberates as a unit, its handling of undergraduate circumstances is through the medium of five editorial bodies, each with its own Associate —those of Art, Activities, Sports, Eratemities, and Residences. Certain major research laboratories which have special relevance to national defense and hich are thus less intimatcl - associated with the Technique ' s educational program report directl - to the ' ice- President for Industrial and Business Relations.

The other day in Litchfield And it came to pass (or flunk) that following the final examination period of the fall term 1956-57 the Institute graciously bestowed upon her belabored abecedarians an entire week to be leisurely spent by said disciples. Then, mused certain members of that esteemed publication, Technique, what is that motivating force which seems to inspire us to far greater efforts than those during that humdrum falling into the category of school? Oh yes — the deadline — mightier even than the cum! Of course this entire situation was an affair premedi- tated and perpetrated by General Manager Ralph Joseph Warburton and Editor Edward Fred Schuman long be- fore, thespring ' of 1956 to be specific. After partaking of the exquisite cuisine of one of Boston ' s leading establish- ments they sealed the fate of Technique by legally bind- ing its fortunes to those of Comet Press for a second successive year. Things started to roll during the summer when Editor Ed Schu sent an ominous bulging package from Garbage Jeff ' n ' Dick Heights, Ohio to his number one assistant Gary J. Flick in Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The Moose obligingly returned the unopened parcel with the added inscription, Looks good to me! gaily scrawled on the unbroken wrappings. Then we knew we were in business. Returning to the old familiar haunts in September we found that new was replacing old and the familiar haunts were soon to be refamiliarized. A honey of a dummy waited to be transformed into the sparkling gem that was to be the 1957 Technique and the Debeer Company of Johannesburg, South Africa waited for Ralph to trans- form some of his capital into another sparkling gem but he was playing favorites. Work had barely reached the lethargic stage when we were forced to curtail all activity in favor of a lab thesis in interior decorating undertaken by the staunch fellows of B P. Lo and behold! We scarcely recognized our dingy double upon return. Treas- urer John Andrews and Business Manager Bradford Barnes luxuriated in an aura of Judgement Day Orange while the editorial staff upon venturing into the strong- hold of the Capitalists in the vain hope of finding even a sparsely stocked refrigerator, were relieved to be able to return to their sedate domain of Penicillin Blue.

Our financial cares gurgled down the drain when Literary Associate Jeffrey James Coleman announced coyly that Fincomm was soon to be replaced by Jeff- comm. Also quite literary but not so financial, Robert Holton and Richard Carson contributed to the cause of all literary associates,, which of course is to alleviate the state of panic in which the Managing Board seems to exist. These associates were only partially successful since they too began to panic when our nebulous staff of daguerrotypers produced a number of pictures whose quantity at deadline time was in the vicinity of negative infinity. Phillip Issenberg headed this gallant crew which will long be remembered for their acarpous contributions to photographic endeavor. Photographic Features Editor Dave Cahlander, when pestered enough by Ed Schu, began to record with finesse typical scenes of MIT life, the end result of which may be observed on our dividers. Collaborating with these two was Devastating Deanie! Before long the big question at the Phi Mud house was, Does SHE have HIS pin? To be on the safe side, involved Schu was politely escorted to the showers when he refused to answer. Deanie could not be reached for comment. Striving to maintain our yearly average we again suc- ceeded in enticing a lone Tech coed to join ranks. Susan Schur supplemented the artistic creations of Frank Ching while Chief Art Consultant Charlie Novak pulled much of our basic design literally out of the air. We the editorial feel obligated to recall to mind the fact that only the ship captain or the publication editor occupy the privileged station of the hallowed bovine. All else is not entitled to portrayal through the eyes of forced objectivity but rather must assume the burden of public opinion in the spirit of Horace Greeley who once said, I do not regret having braved public opinion, when I knew it was wrong and was sure it would be merciless. Such is the guiding precept of Technique 1957. C. J. Novak, consultant Le ' Extradonaire. BUSINESS ASSOCIATES John Andrews, Alberto Velaochaga. W VOODOO +:• ' M •Ml ; ■ ?.

SALESKY Editor From the minutes of the final Combined Board meeting for the fiscal year 1956-1957 : The meeting was called to order at 6:17 on May 12, 1957 by the General Manager ' s girl friend. A call was made for old business, whereupon the Circulation Manager requested that the Office Manager be directed to conduct a thorough search of the premises in view of the fact that a girl he had brought to the ofi ce on March 17, 1956 could no longer be found. A lively debate was then conducted concerning the advisa- bility of notifying the lost and found department of the loss. Upon the inconclusive termination of the discussion, a call was made for new busi- ness, whereupon the Joke Editor stated that he was reminded of a joke. After appeal by the Make Up Editor, he was silenced on the grounds that the call was for new bus- iness. A motion was made by the Business Manager ' s girl friend that Voo Doo buy Baker House. There ensued a lively physical competition between her and the Treas- urer ' s girl friend; during the course of which, the latter ' s mink coat was damaged. Time was called after five rounds and the decision was for the Managing Editor ' s girl friend who was later quoted as saying, Never could resist a good old fashioned hair pull. Due to the confusion a vote was not taken, but prevailing opinion at the time seemed to be that the motion would not have carried due to the depreciation of the value of said building by adjacent structures. The Literary Editor made a motion that a unanimous vote of thanks for a fine job well d one be given to the Literary Editor. After the motion failed to pass by a vote of twenty-seven to one, a recess was called. SENIOR 30ARD rji Horry M. So lesky Alan M. May Editor General Manager Williani 3.

The General Manager ' s girl friend de- clared that no further new business would be considered due to the fact that she just had to wash her hair that night. After the cheering had subsided, permission was granted to the Managing Editor to address the assemblage. In a futile attempt to alleviate the heavy boredom which seemed to be descending on him the secretary recorded the entirety of his remarks. ' Gentlemen, as you are no doubt aware, Vqo Doo is undoubtedly the most important organization in the city of Cambridge, if not in the entire state of Massachusetts; it is furthermore the possessor of the greatest concentration of talent in the nation. Here he stopped and waited for applause. It is indeed fitting that at this meeting we recall that the past year has been one of the most successful in Voo Doo history. For the first time, due to the laudable duplicity of the Sales Manager, we sold more magazines than we printed. Furthermore, we now have a newly decorated office complete with orange wall; and the Editor ' s girl friend has promised that we will soon hear the patter of little feet around the beer closet. At this point he was shouted down and the General Manager ' s girl friend began to adjourn the meeting when Phosphorus sauntered in. After greetings had been ex- changed, the General Manager fulfilled the duties of his position for the final time by pouring two cans of beer on the floor. When The Cat had finished drinking, the meeting resumed. Several requests from the floor were entertained; they were that there be more parties the following year; that the other office be redecorated; that the office manager be instructed to stock rye, scotch, and gin; and that next year ' s beer ball game be played with champagne. Suddenly a lull in the discussion occurred and the Features Editor took advantage of it to ask The Cat what he thought of the material which appeared in the magazine during the year. The stuff ' in the magazine? asked The Cat, as he adjusted his tie, changed his coat, and rifled the cash box. Who cares about that? BUSINESS BOARD Front Row, I to R: R. Gottlieb; J. Zwickel; Cole S.

TECH ENGINEERING NEWS ROBERT KOCH General Manager The Tech Engineering News, the top collegiate techni- cal journal in the country, gives to the students of M. I. T. the chance to express their views on scientific subjects. This year the material has tended to be more inclusive, with poetry and other general arts articles being pub- lished, as well as the science fiction stories, political arti- cles, and the usual topics that appear in the monthly issues. The magazine is supported entirely by the sub- scriptions and advertisements secured by the Advertising Editor. The magazine, staffed entirely by M. I. T. students, has an editorial staff which is responsible for make-up and the publishing of the magazine, and a business staff for obtaining the necessary money to publish the magazine. The General Manager, Robert Koch, is particularly adapted to his job on T. E. N. through his studies, and complements these by his work for the magazine. Rae Stiening, the Editor-in-Chief, has expanded and broadened the objectives of T. E. N., both in the fields of natural and classical philosophy. As editor, his fluent pen has issued poignant comments on the more significant problems of our times. Managing Editor Herb Schwartz has greatly improved the format of the current volume of the magazine by his meticulous attention to detail. Con- stant contact with the printer has assured the maintenance RAE STIENING Editor-in-Chief JARDA POLAK Business Manager 198 of T. E. N. ' s usual hiph standards of quality. Jarda Polack. has executed the duties of Business Manager vested with him and, in addition has increased the material assets of the organization. He also handles the social arrangements for the frequent dinners and convivial gatherings. These four men compose the Managing Board of this year ' s Tech Engineering News. Howard Resnikoff, Associate Editor, has proven him- self admirable as the instigator of many constructive and far-reaching changes in all phases of T. E. N. ' s activities and has been aptly designated as the producer. Allen Tucker, the other Associate Editor, has been a mainstay on the staff with his valuable literary contributions. The commendable job of Leon Ephross has resulted in the reorganization of the advertising department, and Alberto Velalchaga has handled the duties of Circulation Manager superbly. Dave Ytterock adequately fulfilled the duties of make-up editor, while Jack Pages ' posters have become famous throughout the Institute, under the pseu- donym of Don Hatfield. The finishing touch was added by Terry Palmer ' s covers coupled with Graham Harvey ' s photography, which gave the magazine an aesthetic and professional quality. Even with all the hard work required to publish T. E. i ., we ' ve all found our experience amply rewarding. MAKEUP STAFF, I.

Seventy-five years later, honoring its Dia- mond Anniversary, a special edition was issued commemorating the publi- cation and recording the progress of the Institute as The Tech reporters saw it — then and now. Paradoxically, the seventy-fifth year was the vear of Volume LXXVI; it was also one of Tech ' s finest years; and the anniversary issue, one of its hours. The Turning Point Fittingly, Volume LXXVI marked a turning point for The Tech. It was a difficult year marked by conflicts. Only two Managing Board members survived the two term Board, Editor John A. Friedman ' 57 and Robert G. Bridgham ' 57 who for the fall term did double duty as Managing Editor and Business Manager. Out of the conflict with student government came a clearcut statement of the position of the paper and a new constitution. Despite the rising cost of the newspaper, and a severe financial crisis, the books of Volume LXXVI closed with a thin black line at the margin — perhaps most satisfying to business manager Stanley Shapiro. The Tech Robert H. Rosenbaum, General Manager, represented on activities Coun- cil both terms, serving as its treasurer. From Conferences, experience and imagination came the germ of an idea — a daily newspaper. Certainly not a new thought — the paper had been daily in the early 1910 ' s — it was one suggested with consideration. A joint committee of The Tech, student gov- ernment, faculty and administration was picked to study the problem in detail. Its answer could mean a key turning point for the seventy-five year old publication. Technically, Volume LXVI left The Tech a better place. Refurbished office, and revamped business practices, a revised organization and a rein- forced stafT, should promote progress. Glen, Manchester, Hallo way, Friedman, Wohl mann.

Editorially Editorially, The Tech took on a new viewpoint, a more overall one. Less concerned with specific events, its goal was the urbane and wider period. Opinions were strong, controversial, and usually emotionally and ruthlessly logical. Editor Friedman was quite uii])opular in many circles — from stu- dent government and athletic association to the Dean ' s office and the administration. News Volume LXXVI witnessed a period of important news stories. From the Clark tragedy and the Carnival riot, to the Freshman bankrobber, the Ryer Committee report and the Struik reinstatement and censure, the news stories were big and exciting. The news staff was often under fir e, often outstanding. Reporting of the disastrous Charities Carnival riot, handled by the assistant News Editor Stephen M. Samuels ' 59 was one of the finest journalistic efforts in The Tech ' s seventy-five years. There were others below its level, others almost up to it. Sports coverage under William G. Daly, ' 58 and F. Thomas Bond ' 58 was, as traditionally, thorough and informed. Added emphasis was placed on the popular intermural program. Photography took on a new importance; its development in quality was the product of a large staff ably managed by George E. Glen ' 59, with Stephen J. Sacks ' 59 and Louis R. Nelson ' 59 and Thomas J. Markle ' 59. Volume LXXVI saw the addition of a new type of story — the full page photo and story spread. It also saw, under features chief G. Henry Haines ' 58, critical reviews of outstanding events. Tangent Tangent — The Tech sponsored all — MIT liter ary magazine, had a new start under the parent The Tech management. Format, style and content changes resulted in a well received and financially satisfactory magazine. Stressed were articles by outstanding faculty and student works. Friedman, Haines, . ' hapiro and Allan C. Langford ' 57 were the active Tangent board. The Future With the changes initiated by Volume LXXVI and the new constitution, the future suggests further progress and daily appearance seems just around the corner. The legacy is the basis for this progress. Sporfs Fans! — Feinberg, Chief Bond and F. John McElroy. Nelson, Glen, Markle, Pellar. Day After . . .

Dramatic plays seem to elude this ubiquitous pattern much more frequently. Perhaps this is due in no small pait to the extreme excellence of direction and casting. The stage can be a marvelous complement to the talented efforts of the individual who masterminds the production, as well as a showcase for those who are the sublime instruments of the script. However, in concert presentations, the original statement is a sober reality. The redundant gyrations of the commanding personnel too often subjugate the inherent competency of the participants and the score, producing a result which is lackluster in character. Ofttimes this imperfection can be exculpated. — Ezra Framingham Saltonstall TECH SHOW 1957 • i i i k GUS SOLOMONS WARREN MOON JERRY MARWELL THE GUIDING LIGHT. Each year, early in the spring, Tech Show bursts into the pubHc eye with the biggest, brassiest, most colorful musical comedy this side of Broadway. But it is before the opening curtain goes up and after the final bow is taken that the drama behind the drama is played. After the traditional gala party on closing night the cast goes home to sing the show ' s songs in the shower in order to boost record sales, while people like Norm Peterson, General Manager. Stan Cortell, Business, and Terry Meyer, Pro- duction Manager begins putting shoulders, theirs and others, to wheels. Tech Show ' 57 began in the spring of ' 56 with the successful efforts of Hank Uman and Joe Carty to, liter- ally, get the Show on the road as far as Vassar, In the fall Gerry Marwell, the director, together with Tom Doherty, his long-experienced special advisor, and Nick Margulis, his enthusiastic assistant, trumpeted, loud and clear, a call that was answered by myriad faces eager to shine under Stu Keeler ' s lights. Old, experienced hands like Warren Moon, Gus Solomon, Bobbe Shane, and Charlene Heald welcomed to the cast such talented newcomers as Phyllis Luberg, Norm Lerner, Rafael Torrens, and Ralph Gilbert. Then work began in earnest: amid midnight meeting and all night conferences the lilting melodies and tuneful airs of Mort Achter were combined with flairful writing of the team of Pearle and Teplitz into an incredibly witty modern day legend. Throughout the hectic activity of the weeks preceeding opening night, the calm and serene presence of Bill Greene, the faculty advisor, stood beacon- like in the confusion until, on February 28. the sound of Tech Show ' 57 was heard by all. 204 L COMBINED MUSICAL CLUBS The Combined Musical Clubs was made up of three or- ganizations — the Concert Band, the Glee Club, and the Symphony Orchestra. Every member of these organiza- tions is considered a member of the Musical clubs, which gives it a membership of approximately two hundred peo- ple. The officers of the club come from all three of the musical clubs. The General Manager was Richard Place, the Business Manager, Bradford Barnes. The function of the Combined Musical Clubs is twofold. First, it is the financial agency of all three organizations and handles all the funds of the three. Second, it serves to administrate the activities of the group and see that each is properly staffed. The Concert Band and the Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of John Corley, gave several performances during the year with girls ' schools in and around Cam- bridge, and they also put on some individual performances. Professor Klaus Liepman again headed the Glee Club, molding them into a well-balanced singing group. The Concert Band played at home several times in Kresge Auditorium and also travelled to several of the New England colleges nearby to give performances. In recent years the Band has played to audiences at Yale, Vassar, Wellesley, LaSalle, and others. The MIT Band is the only collegiate band in the country which plays orig- inal band music. All the music for the Concert Band has been written especially for that band over the holidays they made a trip to New York. The Band has made two records in the last two years and plans to make one again this year. The Symphony Orchestra played both individual and combined concerts at Kresge and in the nearby area. These included one given at Wellesley and a trip to Mt. Holyoke. More were proposed for the winter season. Members of the string section of the Orchestra combined with the band to give a performance in the fall. The Glee Club followed a rigorous and prolific schedule of individual and combined concerts throughout the year. The club combined with several girls ' colleges including Radcliffe, Wellesley, and Simmons. The year was climaxed by Tech Night at the Pops. 205 Choral Society The Choral Society stormed the bastions of great music in Germany, this summer, and ovations were ahnost universal. The Mozart All-Stars, as the MIT singers were named by student members of the Darmstadt Orchestra, gave six formal concerts; in Frankfurt, Weikersheim, and Bad Mergentheim, and in the old university towns of Heidelberg and Marburg. The performances were an unqualified success. Even rehearsals drew a daily quota of German youngsters who slipped into university music halls and medieval churches to listen — wide-eyed and silent — to the American visitors. The addition to members of the Choral Society (freshmen coeds and professors in- cluded), there were five soloists, all of whom were received enthusiastically at concerts and in the German press: Helen Boatwright, soprano, Margaret Tobias, alto, Donald Sullivan and David Ashton, tenors, and Paul Matthen, bass. MIT ' s musical offerings on the tour consisted of four major choral works: Haydn ' s St. Teresa Mass, the Mozart Requiem, Honegger ' s King David, and Stravinsky ' s Mass. (On one less formal occasion they were called upon for the songs of Stephen Foster.) From castle tours to seminars, from banquets to solemn performances, from Stephen Foster to the exchange of technical notes on scientific developments in the two coun- tries, the tour in Germany was eminently successful. And most important of all were the many new friendships which were made with students across the seas. Bill Burdine sums it up this way: For our American chorus and the German student orchestra to work together in a joint musical venture oi this type was a wonderful demonstration of international goodwill and understanding, and seemed to all of us the essence of the entire effort. Answers Tauber Zeitung, a newspaper covering the MIT-European Youth Orchestra finale in Bad Mergentheim, Something not so obvious (as the merit of the perform- ance itself) was the spontaneous and enthusiastic joining of people from all areas through the medium of music, a language we all understand . . .; and the fact that a country of technical miracles and an Institute not specializing in art sends a non- professional choir which gave such an overwhelming performance. n € 1 If m- .a HL if ., l 1 1 1 1 1 1 H } j ■ ■ II III ■ ii i i i n iiiisx:. Symphony Orchestra The Symphony Orchestra had another busy year as they gave several individual concerts during the year at Kresge Auditorium and away at various other New Eng- land Colleges. Combined concerts included ones given at Wellesley and Mt. Holyoke. Members of the Symphony Orchestra were also members of the Combined Musical Clubs which administers the finances of the orchestra. John Corley conducted the performance of the Sym- phony Orchestra and was instrumental in the successes of these performances. The President this year was Kenneth Guy re, who did a commendable job in leading the club through another fine year. Dick Klafter and Henry Peskin, the Concert Managers, labored long and hard to make the performances run smoothly. The Personnel Manager was Carlos Prieto and the Publicity Manager was John Sc ' haefer. The organization could not have existed without these two jobs, which are so important to the functions of the orchestra ' s activities. The concerts are usually given on a home and home basis. One year the MIT Orchestra travels away to give a performance, and the following year the group from the other college comes to MIT. These combined concerts are usually given with girls ' schools in the area. Usually a social gathering such as a dance is staged after the per- formance of the two groups. This has worked extremely well and serves to give the MIT students and the girls the opportunity to meet each other. This serves to relax the group after giving a rigorous performance such as a con- cert. This year a Christmas party was held in addition to the usual social gatherings. Thus another successful year for the MIT Symphony Orchestra was concluded. Glee Club The Glee Club this year was headed by President Thomas Lovejoy. In addition to the usual duties of the president, Tom maintained contact with the other Glee Clubs in the area to make arrangements for the combined concerts. He also took care of transportation facilities for the trips away and planned the parties that the club held. Graham Harvey, the Concert Manager, arranged the var- ious concerts for the club, and George Gardner managed the publicity end. The Librarian was Hayward Alker and the Assistant Librarian was Sheldon Rips. Professor Liep- man led the club again this year and moulded the mem- bers into a fine singing group. The- club participated in several individual concerts at Kresge Auditorium and also at some of the girls ' colleges in the Boston area. Several combined concerts were also put on during the year. Some of the more rigorous con- certs included Brahm ' s Requiem, and Handel ' s Israel and Egypt. They also sang Bach ' s Christ Lay by Death En- shrouded. In addition to these formal concerts they sang lighter music such as spirituals, folk songs, and some short classical songs. These songs were put o n at colleges such as Simmons and Wellesley, and at junior colleges like Pine Manor, Endicott, and LaSaUe. The schedule varies slightly from vear to year, but it is essentially the same. On the social side, the club held several informal concerts, follow- ing which dances were held and refreshments served.

However, during the past years the Logarhythms have firmly established themselves in Institute life to be- come one of the most talked about singing groups in the Boston area. They have appeared on radio, television, in Boston Symphony Hall and at numerous M.I.T. functions. On al- most any weekend their four part entertainment can be heard livening a party or dance. There is hardly a girls college in New England which has not listened to their melodious tones. Indeed, the Logs have entertained Welles- ley, RadclifFe, Wheaton, Bradford, and many others. Originally dedicated to the barbershop style, their ar- rangements have assumed a wide variety ranging from the soft and mellow Kentucky Babe to the bouncing Somebody Stole My Gal. When their first record was released in the spring of 1953, it met with immediate ap- proval. In 1955 the demand for the second record far exceeded the supply. It is safe to predict that the Logarhythms will continue their growth and that they will become an integral part of musical tradition at M.I.T. DRAMASHOP Dramashop is in every way a group of students brought together by interest in many different phases of drama. There is more to Dramashop than acting alone. There are equal opportunities on all phases of the theater — produc- ing, directing, set-designing, costuming, lighting, publicity, to name a few of Dramashop ' s many facets, besides acting. A Dramashop function, introduced last year, an evening of one act plays, is entirely student produced and directed. These plays have been very well received by the students, and have become very popular. Also introduced last year was the celebrity series, which brings to Tech notables in the field of Drama. This year the group has produced an evening of one act plays, produced and directed by students, a main pro- duction of George Bernard Shaw ' s Missalliance and a reading of T. S. Eliot ' s Murder in the Cathedral. There have been many productions scheduled for the second half of the year. There will be a continuation of the celebrity series, with the appearance of Robert Graves, a renown English poet, whose last appearance in this country was in 1937, two more evenings of one act plays, and the spring main production. 209 In the future, when recalling college days, certain things will stand out: the work, the good times, the responsibilities held, the amount of participation in organizations. Of these, the first is an accepted part of college; it is the primary reason for attendance. The second is also an accepted adjunct to a college education. But the latter two items — responsibility and participation — are fringe benefits which are all too often neglected by the college student. Even sampling these can do much for the man in viewpoint, maturity, bearing — the list is long. Holding a responsible extracurricular job or actively helping to run an organization is a very present aid in developing qualities which will be needed later on when one begins to assume positions of importance in the business world. Unfortunately, many do not realize this, and consequently do not take advantage of what is offered. Those that do, however, will vouch for the desirability of activities and organizations. — E. Francis Sprague WTBS R. BRUCE GROVER, JR. Station Manager Since its creation in 1946. WTBS, originally called WMIT, has growTi and gradually risen to the position of being one of the largest class A activities on campus. Run entirely by students, the station is in every respect comparable to a commercial broadcasting station. Its goals are threefold: 1) to provide experience to all interested students at MIT in one or more of the fields of activitv concerned with broadcasting operations; 2) to serve by providing an impartial communication agency for all students and therebv help unifv and express a student opinion which is based upon knowledge and decision, as well as providing information which is not otherwise readily available; 3) to serve by providing entertaining, unique material, as well as informative and cultural, providing programming which the students find worthwhile listen- ing. WTBS is financially self-sufficient, and broadcasts over 100 hours per week. The regular broadcasting schedule, based on yearly listening surveys, consists primarily of music and news. The music is predominantly classical popular, with a rapidly expanding jazz department to cater to an increasing demand for that type of music. News is supplied by a regular United Press teletype, the MIT News Service, and WTBS campus reporters. In addition, a wide variety of special features are broadcast, ranging from a play-by-play report of Field Day action and major home sports events to network broadcasts with national sta- tions and exclusive coverage of such events as the New England Opera Theater presentation of Don Pasquale. Broadcast coverage includes the dormitories and many of the fraternities, using equipment mostly built by past and present staff members. This year WTBS, in conjunction with WCTR of Tufts and WRRB of Radcliffe, formed a three-station network, and many programs now are carried by the en- tire network, CBN, the Collegiate Broadcasting Network, has proven itself a success, and further expansion is predicted. Many other experiences await the new WTBS staff. Among the many challenges may well be a new FM station. It is an activity which offers much opportunity for self-development, with experiences in all aspects of radio station operation. Providing the listeners with a source oi information and entertainment is just one facet of the widely varied opportunities open to all station members.

With a new name, a new office, and a new set of by-laws, the old Association has taken on a new life. The new office, in the East wing of Walker Memorial, is spacious and efficient. Connie Houghton holds forth in the outer office, getting more and better seats at Boston ' s theatres for Tech men than ever before. The inner office harbors our secretarv. Sallv Jackson, and the Institute ' s new Dean (our former General Secretary) Bob Holden. Xew this year are the Campus Charity Drive and the Hotel Service. In the first annual charity drive T.C.A. col- lected over SI 700 for five different charities. The Red Feather received the largest amount of the contributions, with the rest going to Cerebral Palsy, Jimmy Fund, Can- cer, and World University Service. The Hotel Service was instituted to maintain a listing of local hotel rates for the convenience of students making reservations for out-of-town guests. It has expanded to cover East Coast hotels from Washington to Boston. Through T.C.. . both students and faculty can get reduced rates while travelling. The Mental Hospital workers, who got started last year, are doing a tremendous job again this year. They have tripled in number and are being joined in their work by volunteers from several nearby girls ' schools. These work- ers have become a well-established part of the Social Ser- vice Division. The rest of the Social Service Division has been kept very busy in the local settlement houses. They have done a good job in finding more underprivileged children for campus organizations which desire to help such youngsters at Christmas time. DEAN R. HOLDEN 214 JANE McGONAGLE The success of the Institute ' s whole man policy is evi- dent in the ticket service. Tech men are ordering nearly $6000 worth of tickets every month through T.C.A. ' s Con- nie Houghton. T.C.A. is glad to contribute to the educa- tion of whole men at M.I.T. by aiding them to enjoy the cultural pursuits available in the Boston area. The Religious Activities Division held five Skeptic ' s Seminars this year with Norbert Wiener. Dean John E. Burchard. and Dean George R. Harrison heading the list of speakers. Capacity crowds filled 10-250 for each Sem- inar held in the fall, so a continuation and expansion of the program is being planned for the spring term. On the administrative side, a new Advisory Board has been formed. Ex-officio members are Mr. E. F. Bowditch, Dean R. J. Holden. Mr. William Carlisle, and Prof. John B. Wilbur. Sally Jackson Elizabeth R. bequests tickets to a loyal subject 215 imi NAUTICAL Barber, Sec ' y., Stiles, Comm., Pomponi, V. Comm., Windall, Member ot large, Blaiklock, Treas. H. WILLIAM STILES Commodore The N.A. in addition to its regular recreational activi- ties, supports a Varsity and Freshman Sailing Team which has full recognition by the Athletic Association. The rec- ord for the team in the past year includes many New Eng- land and intersectional victories. The Varsity team is look- ing forward to starting in the spring in the same winning tradition with which they closed the Fall season. Three big victories, the Fowle trophy, emblematic of the New Eng- land Team Racing Championship, the Schell Trophy, the top fail regional event, and the Potomac Frostbite, for the third time in as many years, are indicative that this is another in a long line of national championship teams. The student government of the Nautical Association is the Executive Committee elected annually by the general membership. To aid the officers is the Bosun ' s Club, a semi-social group, chosen for the interest in the activity and their willingness to work. Their work consists mainly of teaching sailing, and offers a good opportunity to be in contact with others who share a similar interest. In ad- dition to the Bosun ' s rating, several intermediate steps, such as coxswain and Racing Skipper encourage the gen- eral member to further his nautical interests and abilities. The members of the Executive Committee for the past year were: H. William Stiles, Commodore; Sal Pomponi, Vice Commodore; James Barber, Secretary; William C. Blaiklock, Treasurer; Charles Robertson, Graduate Repre- sentative; John Armitage, member-at-large; William Wid- nall. Freshman member. 216 ASSOCIATION f-: ' -1-1 This year ' s membership, of over one thousand, once again placed the N.A. at the top in student participation in the MIT community. New acquisitions to the fleet, such as the two racing dinghys of the Finn class, helped keep the membership high. The Association continued its fa- vorite pastime of teaching interested students how to sail. This is done not only in the regular season from April to ISovember, but in the Winter, in the Hot Stove League. This year celebrates the N.A. ' s twentieth anniversary, and it was noted with pride that over seven thousand Tech men and women had learned to sail while at MIT. The responsibility for the organization and functioning of the N.A. falls on the able shoulders of Jack Wood, Sail- ing Master. With nearly twenty years of experience behind him, Mr. Wood has created a smoothly running Associa- tion in which the student is given much responsibility. In addition to quietly handling the daily problems of the large group, he also teaches some two hundred freshmen to sail. Famous in his own right in the Yachting circles of this country for many years, Jack Wood is greatly re- sponsible for the organization of intercollegiate sailing. His coaching has produced five National Championships at MIT, and an enviable number of victories in New Eng- land competition. NAUTICAL ASSOCIATION BOSUN CLUB front Row, L to R: S. Pomponi, W.

During the past year the activities of the Lecture Series Committee have taken a more prominent place in the life of the MIT communitv than ever before in the ten year history of the committee. The best-known activity of the committee is its weekly mo -ie series. The program has been enhanced this year by the increased use of Kresge Auditorium and by the frequent use of the Cinemascope equipment. High spots of the program included: THE RED SHOES. MR. ROB- ERTS. THE LIVING DESERT, and MARTY. A second series was begun, the Classic Series, which, in keeping with the spirit of the LSC, presents movies of outstanding interest which cannot be seen in regular thea- tres: Snaw ' s PYGMALION. BIRTH OF A NATION, and the original THREE MUSKETEERS, with Douglas Fair- banks, Sr. With all this, the Committee did not lose sight of its main objective, and presented lectures appealing to com- mon interests. Politics was represented by former Presi- dent Harry Truman, and by Harold Stassen. Special Ad- -isor to the President on disarmament and entertainment was discussed by Bennet Cerf. and by Pete Seeger. Throughout the vear the Committee developed its poster making facilities, and has become the center of silk- screening for all activities on campus willing to use its facilities.

The Society began this year with a new coach, William Krosnow. Mr. Krosnow is a former Dartmouth debater, and is now studying at Harvard. Most of the veteran debaters are back this year, and several promising freshmen have joined the society. The season began with several of the greater Boston tournaments, all of which were regarded as strictly prac- tice tournaments for the Society. The University of Ver- mont Invitational Tournament was held in November. The Society ' s perfomance there was about par for November and about average in the standings. The Tufts Tournament was held in December, and here M.l.T. placed second. This tournament is perenially a tough one for M.l.T. and their performance was an in- dication that they might be able to achieve greater success in coming tournaments. The Spring term activities begin with several invita- tional tournaments such as those held at New York and Georgetown Universities. The all-important District VIII qualification tournament will take place in the early spring. This tournament is the one which determines the entries for the West Point Invitational, the national debating tournament. Needless to say, they ' ll go all out for that one. VERNON PORTER President 219 ALPHA PHI OMEGA i Dick cheers for UMOC I 1 to R: I. Dunno, E. Friedman, D. Rosenthal, C. Kotek, UMOC, Laura Singerman, M. Kaplan, D. Norman, B. Burke. The members of Alpha Phi Omega, fraternally bound and dedicated to the noble ideals of the scouting move- ment, are selfishlessly and continually serving others — their fellow brothers, their school, community, and nation. In the past year our chapter has completed many valu- able projects with great success. In the first two months of school, A. P.O. sponsored a dormitory phone book con- taining the name, room, and telephone number of every dormitory resident; the cost of which was supported al- most completely by advertising. Immediately after the directory ' s publication, a gigantic U.M.O.C. contest began. With beaver-like industry and artistic creativeness the members were able to produce the most successful contest of its kind ever held on the MIT campus. At Christmas time, A. P.O. held its annual party for needy and underprivileged tots of this locale. Soon after our year-end vacation, a rousing party vvas held in the Baker Master Suite for the purpose of promoting spirit among the members, which was fol- lowed by weekends of skiing and various other activities. In February a ten week swim program was begun in which nearly 200 scouts from all areas of Cambridge de- scended on the MIT pool each Saturday, to pass their achievement tests, and. in general, to have a lot of fun. This activity has proved to be of tremendous benefit to each and every participant whether he was a scout, scouter, or an A. P.O. member. At this writing many additional ventures are focusing themselves upon the not-too-distant horizon. Some of these experiments may include: supervision of the Red Cross blood drives, ushering for such events as parents ' week- end, registration day and so forth; sponsoring of activities directly benefiting the student body like school-wide danc- ing classes, tutoring classes, information services, and ride services. The Alpha Chi chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is growing! Recently it has shed its class B activity status and has, since then, evolved into one of the better class A ac- tivities. It shall not stop there! Quality and growth are progressing to a constant positive slope. The time may eventually come when A. P.O. will assume the leadership of all student activities. But whatever its position, A. P.O. will alwavs give of itself unselfishlv and will constantly strive ONWARD and UPWARD! 220 DeMolay De Molay is an international social and fraternal organ- ization of young men dedicated to clean and manly living. MIT Tech Chapter, sponsored bv Richard C. MacLaurin Lodge. A.F. A.M., was the first chapter organized at a university. The cardinal teachings of the order are love of parents, reverence, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanliness and patriotism. In addition to its social functions the Chapter conducts formal meetings to instruct these qualities of leadership, and runs service projects to practice them. Re- cent services have benefited the Westgate Nursery, The Residence Halls, and underprivileged children. Social func- tions included concerts, plays, Tech Night at the Pops, and the Charter Hall. The membership includes students who were former De Molays in high school and desired to continue asso- ciation, as well as new members. De Molay Officers First Term Master Councilor EVERETT B.

Due to some excellent work done during the previous summer, the staff was requested to expand into two new areas, Baker House and Graduate House. Crews of two staff men each were assigned to these houses to supplement the previous full-time crews there. The staff did, however, suffer a reduction in membership due to the evacuation of part of Burton House during the spring term to make way for the new cafeteria. In addition to keeping Burton House spic and span, there are various other activities in which the staff engages. The staff tutors, for example, present weekly quiz reviews to the staff freshmen in physics, calculus, and chemistry. Among the staff men participating in tutoring this year were Neil Divine, George Henry, Russ Walstedt. and tutoring chairman Paul Larson. The staff athletics activities took on a new aspect this year. Previously some- what of an emphasis had been placed on getting a winning team out. This year, under the direction of Co-chairmen Earl Biven and Howard Markham, quality was sacrificed somewhat for the sake of getting, everyone into the game and having a good time, which is the real purpose of the intramural sports program. The staff maintained teams in such sports as basketball, badminton, volleyball, and Softball. The staff social committee, with Russ Walstedt as chairman, enjoyed an active year. Various dances and parties were presented, sometimes being open to the entire institute community, and occasionally being exclusively staff affairs. Lastly, we mention the staff column in the Burton House Reflector. The post of col- umnist was assumed and well handled by Jake Karrfalt. Irt Row: M. Markham, P. Larson, L Sprodlin, P. Pluto, J.

The staff provides an opportunity to combine part-time work, extra-curricular activity, and companionship with fellows who share similar interests. Walker Staff is the oldest student staff on campus. The system of student captains originated at Walker, wherein the students themselves are in charge of the work accomplished by the staff. The primary function of the staff, of course, is to provide service to the cus- tomers of the Walker Dining Service in Morss Hall, Pritchett Lounge, and at various dinners and coffee hours, which are held at Wa lker or other places on campus. The staff has often been complimented for its enthusiasm and efficiency in carrying out these various tasks. In addition to its workday functions, the staff has several committees, which organize the staff ' s social activities. The Assemblies Ball Committee plans the bit ultra-formal Assemblies Ball which is put on each year for the staffmen and their friends. The Informal Dance Committee of the Walker Student Staff en- gages in planning and putting on an informal dance each month. These dances have gained the reputation of being the one best bet on campus for a good time. The staff also has an athletic committee which coordinates the staff ' s participa- tion in maiLy intra-mural sports including basketball, ping-pong, bowling, and tennis. The tutoring committee conducts quiz reviews in all freshman subjects for freshmen on the staff and their friends. The staff publishes its own biweekly newspaper. The Breakdown Bugle, which contains all the latest Walker-type gossip.

It meets with outstanding Christian Laymen and Pastors, who. drawing on their experience, speak on topics related to the Christian faith. The socials of this past term included a canoe outing and a Christmas party. During the last year a student retreat was spon- sored by the group for interested MIT students. A study course on Campus Evangelism was also conducted. The officers this year were: Jan Boal. Richie Coryell. Mike Ross, Glen Brick, Larry Taughan, Brad Clough, and Lew French.

Edward Jones (President), Michait Brose, Don Wodsworth, Lambert Bear, Hartley Moskins, Doug Jackson, John Chichester, Dick Procunler. The Christian Science Organization at MIT has continued to afford the oppor- tunity for all interested members of the MIT family to unite in the close bonds of Christian fellowship, and to learn more about Christian Science and its dem- onstration in daily living. Regular weekly meetings, open to all. were held in the MIT Chapel. These meetings included readings from the Bible and Science and Health ivith Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as testimo nies and remarks on Christian Science. Other activities included a special recep- tion for incoming Freshmen, several receptions at which prominent Christian Scientists were asked to speak, and a free public lecture by a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. By means of these activities, the Organ- ization has continued to contribute to the increasing spiritual awareness at MIT. Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Although MIT is known for the Ituilflinj; of top engineers and scientists, its spiritual aspect if often overlooked. The MIT Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, formed in 1945. is an organization of Christian students with like goals and purposes, who believe in the Divine inspiration of the Bible and the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Its purpose is to deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of its members, to bear witness to Jesus Christ, and seek to lead others to a per- sonal faith in Him. Its members, both as individuals and as a group, stimulate interest in and actively support foreign and home missions and the work of the local churches. In the past few years, as the God we serve has broadened our vision. IVCF has grown in depth and outreach. Daily prayer meetings and weekly Bible stud- ies are held in each of the dorms. Once a week we all come together for a time of fellowship, usually with a nearby minister or Christian layman, who brings us a message on some phase of the Christian life. One of the highlights of the year is the annual fall conference, which is held in conjunction with the 1 CF chapters on other campuses throughout the Boston area. This year we met at Rolling Ridge in northern Massachusetts. The fellow- ship and the concentrated Bible study was rich in spiritual value. We have all felt a deep impact on our lives as a result of attending this conference and others like it. The stabilizing force behind IVCF ' s effort comes from Peter Haile, our Boston area IVCF advisor and counselor. He is a spiritual father to all of us. His con- sistent praver life and daily application of the word of God to his life are both an example and a challenge. First Row, L to R: lomos Piper, Larry Lassinger. Rev.

Orthodox Christian Fellowship The MIT Orthodox Christian Fellowship is an organization with the purpose of uniting Orthodox Christian members of the MIT family in religious worship, fellowship and understanding. To accomplish this, the group offers many rewarding and enjoyable activities throughout the year. Monthly meetings are held in which prominent members of the Orthodox religion speaks on topics such as the role of religion in the modern world, with emphasis on Orthodoxy ' s part. Other lectures cover interest- ing historical aspects of this religion. All the lectures features a discussion at the end, in which those attending may ask questions. Other activities include an annual dance in the spring term, which has proven very successful. This social activity is supplemented by a number of in- formal parties which are given each year. Also a twenty-minute Chapel service is held every Thursday at 5:10 PM in the MIT Chapel. Rev. Father A. Metaxas of the Greek Orthodox Church of Cambridge officiates in the service, in which Orthodox Christians may come together to worship. The Fellowship, a member of the New England Federation of College Ortho- dox Students, stresses cooperation with other Orthodox Christian groups in the Boston area for the mutual benefit of ail concerned.

The club attempts to bring to its members an improved awareness of God, of society as it relates to God and of themselves as creatures of God. With this in mind, the club has presented a program which has included: daily and Sunday Mass in the MIT Chapel: classes in philosophy and psychol- ogy; availability of our chaplains. Rev. J. Edward Nugent and Rev. Louis McKernan, for consultation; Weekly meetings addressed by persons experienced in various fields, such as, Dorothy Day, contro- versial labor writer. Rev. Daniel Linehan, seismologist on Operation Deep Freeze, and Most Rev. John Wright, Bishop of Worcester; an- nual retreat and Day of Recollection; pamphlets sent to members; two newly formed activities, the Graduate Students group, and the chant group. The Catholic Club is a member of the Boston Province of the Newman Club Federation. Two former presidents of the Cath- olic Club, Mr. Phillip Untersee, ' 55, and Mr. Charles Joyce ' 56, are National Publications chairman, and Province Chairman, respectively. Officers for the past year were Edward J. O ' Brien, President; Ar- thur D. Ballato, Vice-President; John J. Best, Treasurer; Joseph F.

Hillel The major events of the Hillel program this past year include High Holiday Services in the MIT Chapel and Sabbath Eve Services each week, some of which were conducted entirely by particular fra- ternities. Perhaps the high point of the year was the gift of an Ark, a number of ceremonial objects and two Torahs, one over two hundred years old. The entire gift was presented to the Jewish members of the Tech community by the Boston Stein Club. Led by Hillel Advisor abbi Herman Pollack, the study group classes have continued to grow. Socially a number of brunches and dances completed the Hillel program. 226 b Technology Philosophy Association Front Row: W. Rodgers, A. Newman, F. Fenney, R. Hughes. Second Row: E. Sprogue, R.

Spurred to greater glory through thought by the wisdom of Sophocles when he wrote, There is no witness so terrible— no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us. the members of the Technology Philosophical Association feel that they are pursuing the calling of their consciences by delving earnestly into the mystify- ing and exhaulted realm of philosophical investigation. Every Hll major will recall the relief and wonderment with which his thought processes, previously shrouded by the mental turmoil that all of neophyte humanity is forced to endure, were awakened when the immortal words of Socrates were burned into his soul forever. These words, The Delphic Oracle said 1 was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because that I alone, of all the Greeks, know that 1 know nothing, are the guiding light of TPA. It is the dedicated purpose of this society to adhere to the true wisdom and rationale of Socrates while its members search their souls for the good. As Ovid said, ' • The good are heaven ' s peculiar care. The consuming desire to recognize the good and realize it in our everyday lives occupies and directs the major efforts of the devotees of precognition. During the past year, the Institute has enjoyed the fortune of having as the inspir- ing director of the lindergraduate Tabloid a being who, although not technically a member of TFA, is most certainh an individual whose burning quest for the most divine absolute pictured by Plato has been neither quenched nor inhibited by its elusiveness. To him the TPA extends heartiest encouragement for further and greater efforts. It is through such refreshing approach to the physical applications of the mental life such as this lh;il llir TP will li e and endure forever! 227 Outing Club Members of the Hilary-Tensing Expedition which recently ascended Mount Everest, and was congratulated by the Queen.

Hobby Shop The Hobby Shop, located in the basement of Building 2, was or- ganized as a place for students to relax and to gain practical expe- rience with machinery and materials. The Shop has a wide range of facilities, including a wood shop, metal shop, photographic darkroom, electronics shop, print shop, and equipment for working with optics, jewelry and leather. Many students find the Shop an excellent place to spend their spare hours in relaxation working on their hobbies and projects. Popular activities include construction of furniture, hi-fi cabinets and speaker enclosures, poster and ticket printing, design and assembly of hi-fi equipment, ornamental and automotive metal work. Many objects of art as well as unusual scientific apparatus have emerged from the Shop. Many student activities and living groups take ad- vantage of the Shop ' s excellent facilities to aid in their publicity pro- grams and other work. Membership is open to students and staff members. Organizational meetings are held tlie first Wednesday of each month. An Institute employee is on hand for general supervision and to give instruction in operation of equipment when needed.

As a social and service organization of the Republican Party, election year saw us getting a taste of practical politics at work. In addition we were fortunate to have many excellent speakers, including tlie Honorable Harold Stassen. The election night party and the Christmas of the Massachusetts Council, in which we are active, were well attended. This spring promises many more interesting speakers on topics of politics and current events, and a meeting or two with Y. R. Clubs from the local girls ' schools is planned. Our club has been, and will continue to be, active, not only during election years, but every year, for a successful grass roots organization is the key to political victory. 7rf Row: D. McKee, J.

Some of the largest turnouts in the history oft he club came to play in the new monthly series, the recently added individual and team- of-four championships, as well as the traditional monthly master point games and the annual open pair Club championship. Intercolle- giate play was given emphasis with matches against Harvard, Harvard Law, Tufts and Yale in addition to the usual participation in the National Intercollegiate Championship. A sanctioned member of the American Contract Bridge League, the club ' s tournaments are open to all those who wish to participate and intercollegiate play is avail- able to those who qualify through best showings in the weekly games. ffonf Row, L to R: A.

All phases of model building are represented including control-line, free flight, flying scale, and radio control. At various times, projects are undertaken such as aerodynamic measurements of a speed model in the aeronautical engineering student tunnel, and the construction of an exact replica of a historical flying model. The president of this year ' s club is Alan Budreau. 1st Row: J. Varderpoel, E. Lorrobee, A. Budbeam, P. McLaughlin, W. Washburn. 2nd Row: T. Miller, R. Morloth, A. Sherman, Y. Asghar, W.

Operating with the IXM, the Radio was the third Amer- ican station to contact amateurs in Europe. Since the first spark trans- mitter was put on the air in 1911, the Society ' s station, now WIMX. has contacted amateurs in over a hundred countries, and has achieved a notable record in international radio contests. IMX is active in several amateur networks engaged in relaying messages throughout the country, and provides this service free to all MIT students. The officers this year are R. B. Dirks, president: D. J. Goldman, vice president: J. C. Hungerford. Secretary; M. Zimmerman, Treasurer; W. . . Kearsley, Station Manager. i to R: V , Kearsley, M. Eaelsteln, D. Goldman, M.

The chapter sponsors a variety of activities designed to imple- ment several basic objectives. Classroom theory is supple- mented b) field trips to job sites and fabrication plants ami with practical discussion by experienced engineers from man fields. Professional consciousness is devel- oped through seminars dealing with professional prob- lems, attitudes and aptitudes. Initiative and responsibility are encouraged by having the members participate in planning and carrying out the diapters functions. Such activities as the banquets, steak frys, and seminars are managed by interested students with the officers acting as advisors and coordinators. The annual speech contest is designed to develop poise, confidence, and power of ex- pression through practice in public speaking. The pro- gram, as a whole, has successfully achieved its objectives.

Walter, R. Kruger. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has as its purpose the advancement and dissemination of knowl- edge of the theory and practice of mechanical engineering, the presentation of a proper perspective of engineering work and the opportunity to become acquainted with the personnel and activities of the Society as well as to pro- mote a professional awareness and fellowship. Twice during each term, Student-Faculty dinners were held, also open to all mechanical engineering students. These dinners were informal, and the discussion which followed them led to a better understanding between the faculty and the students, touching on controversial issues such as the grading system in the department, its labora- tories, and teaching methods. ,In order to combat the general feeling of apathy towards their chosen profession which exists among many students at MIT, AS.ME proposed and carried out successfully a Conference on the Development of Scholastic Enthusiasm. The purpose of this conference was to discover some means of correcting this situation bv instilling in the younger students an ethusiasm for their prospective ca- reers so that they will be able to make the most of the precious opportunities which college offers. This confer- ence was carried out with the collaboration of students from each department, the faculty, and the administration. Society of American Military Engineers The Society of American Military Engineers is an or- ganization formed to enable students, interested in the special problems of military engineering to pursue their interest from a nonacademic standpoint. Through the me- dium of lectures, discussions, and a few social events, the SAME offers a deeper understanding of principles and fundamentals. Through association with prominent mem- bers of the faculty at these events, a greater concept of the values of military engineering is obtained. This year, R. A. Delaney was Chairman of the Board: R. A. Knapp was President, and Captain M. Rule was the Faculty Advisor. Front Row, L lo R: R. Delaney, A. Codes, R. Knapp, K. Balbach, Copt. M. Rule.

Rocket Research Society, primarily an un- dergraduate group, is engaged in the design, construction and testing of rocket components and related systems. The Society has extensive facilities for the scientific testing of rocket motors. This equipment, which is con- stantly being added to and improved, is located in the basement of Building 2. Because of the nature of the rocket propulsion field, the work done by the group ranges over a great many areas of science and engineering. The Society has attempted to keep up with the increased ac- tivity in rocket propulsion by offering a unique opportu- nitv for interested students to gain invaluable firsthand ex- perience in this vitally important field. Research done by the group has been greatly aided by a generous grant from the Aerojet-General Corporation, as well as by the kind assistance of many labs and groups on campus. Besides its experimental work, the Society publishes a quarterly journal and co-operates with other amateur groups throughout the world. Headquarters for this phase of the activity and for a growing library as well as for work on data reduction and correlation, is its office in Walker Memorial.

The Chinese Students Club aims to promote fellowship among the Chinese students on campus through social and cultural activities. The membership is made up of about 40 graduate and 30 undergraduate students. Chinese fac- ulty members are often invited to the activities, which are usually planned to interest members in a wide range of age, class, and professional field, yet with a common cul- tural background. The Club also sponsors joint activities with the other Chinese student groups in the Greater Boston area through the Coordinating Council. President of the Club for 1956-57 was Leonard L. C.

Atliletics at The Technical College exist for the students alone. No faculty or alumni pressure to produce winning teams is evident. No financial aid is given to lure better athletes. No revenue is obtained from athletic events. The various intercollegiate and intramural sports are organized and maintained solely for the enjoyment of the participants. The only drawback to intercollegiate athletics in their present form is the appalling lack of support by the undergraduate student body. However this indifference seems to be part of the technical attitude, and transcends beyond the athletic field, although it becomes more apparent in the sports program. Perhaps the present trend will shift. Until it does, not much can be done except to be patient and hopeful. — E.

I.M. Vice-President GLENN P. STREHLE Recorder JOSEPH HAMLET T Club President This year the Athletic Association completely reorganized itself. Separate bodies for each area of representation — participation, manag- ing, and intramurals — were either set up or strengthened, and positions which in the past had been almost entirely clerical, or bookkeeping were replaced by clerical personnel. Also a new Athletic Board was estab- lished with more student and less administration representation. The T Club was formed in the fall for the purpose of increasing the social contact of varsity lettermen on campus. The club through its president has representation on the Athletic Board and the Executive Committee of the Athletic Associa tion. The Varsity Manager ' s Council has been upgraded by setting up a formal training program for man- agers, and the position of Varsity Vice-President has been enhanced by making him responsible for the intercollegiate budget. The Intramural Council has been strengthened by increasing the living group representation and giving it full power in the area of intramurals. Moreover the newly instituted position of Recorder now has the responsibility of binding a permanent record book of each year, con- taining the results, records, and letter winners in each sport. Through the years, the Athletic Association has been in a con- stantly changing situation, with athletics becoming more and more commercialized nationally. The result is the A. has been changing to stay abreast of other college athletic administrations without losing any student management or policy making. TECH BOAT CLUB Included in the deluge of suniiner mail for entering freshmen is a small pamphlet extolling the manly virtues of crew. Tryouts are announced, and the various aspects of the sport are explained, in this first introduction to rowing. However, this is not only an introduction to crew, but also to The Tech Boat Club, which writes the letter. The Boat Club is an honor organization of outstanding crew men who have shown exceptional leadership ability, and. whose interest it is to promote crew and athletics in gen- eral at the Institute. In doing this, they hold pre- and post- season banquets for the crew, complete with guest speak- ers and trophies, and, in addition, publish a newsletter sent to alumni to keep them abreast of the crew ' s activi- ties. One of the more unusual duties of The Boat Club is to arrange the christenings of new shells. Last fall the Elizabeth Parks Killian, named in honor of Mrs. Killian. was launched with much fanfare after Mrs. Killian had broken the traditional bottle of river water. The success of this, too, was due to The Tech Boat Club. Front RoA, ; fo r; Leonard S. Simon (Historian); Paul H. Rothschild; William C. Bowman (Commodore); A. Wentworth Erickson (Vice- Commodore).

' cannot be heard on the Charles, and many a chill evening has seen the spotlighted prow of an eight oared shell slip from beneath the bridge. Then winter sees the crew at the rowing machines doing calisthenics, and running, all in preparation for the spring, and the four or five gruelling races it brings. The man in charge of this, the biggest sport at MIT is head coach James B. McMillin. The captain of our 1936 Olympic winners, he is the only active coach with a gold medal. In addition to being head coach, he is charged with the varsity and J.V. heavyweights. The freshman heavyweight coach was Aloysuis Lawn who rowed at the University of Pennsylvania. ■ In their first race, the Charles River Championship, the three heavy boats placed second behind Harvard, but ahead of B.U. In the second race, on May fifth, the J.V. boat finished first with the varsity second and the fresh- men third. The E.A.R.C. Sprints on the Potomac saw the varsity and frosh eliminated as the J.V. finished sixth in a race Cornell won while MIT placed last, behind Harvard and Princeton, in the Compton Cup Race. aBPB  w ' - T: CREW LETTERWINNERS 1150 lb) T.

All major crews except Harvard and Yale, who have a traditional regatta that day, compete. The varsity boat was ninth, while the frosh were seventh, in this race. Coaching the lightweights to a fair season was Frank DuBois former Penn captain and stroke whose crew won the J.951 Henley Regatta. Val Skvov, who stroked two victorious Henley crews, assisted with the freshmen. At the Charles River Championships on April 21 the Varsity and Freshmen placed behind Harvard, and the J.V. ahead. In the Biglin Bowl Regatta, held here because of ice on the Connecticut at Dartmouth, MIT was second in the Varsity and J.V. races, while the freshmen won. On May 5, 1956, the first Geiger Cup Regatta was held on the Harlem, at New York City. The race, a memorial to Ivan Geiger, late director of athletics at MIT was won by the Cornell varsity and J.V. boats, and the MIT freshmen. The last lightweight race was the 150-lb. Champion- ships, held May 12, on Lake Carnegie, at Princeton. The Varsity and J.V. were eliminated, but the freshmen fin- ished second. 241 SAILING Kneeling: Philippi, Capt.

Beach, Posey, Barber c n --;=, - j aHv- Starling in the spring of the past year, the varsity started building up to the national championship calilirc of the previous two years. This ground work started to pay off in the fall season just concluded. Closing in a sweep of the three major regattas of the season, the team showed remarkable depth and at the same time came up with outstanding individual performances to win in the clutch situations. To start the winning surge, Tech took the Schcll trophy in a two boat competition with the best ten in New England, followed by the Fowle Trophy, the four boat team racing championships, then went south to cop the intersectional Potomac Frostbite regatta for the third straight year against ten selected teams from the Atlantic coast and the Midwest. The personnel of this year ' s varsity were led by returning Captain and Commo- dore Nicholas Newman. In the fall Bill Stiles captained teammates Jim Barber, Bill Widwall and Dennis Posey to this fine series of victories with hopes running high in anticipation of the national championships in the spring at the U. S. Naval Academy. In addition to intercollegiate competition, three Tech skippers stepped out last spring in the N.A. ' s Firefly class sloops to capture the North American Team Racing Championships in the class. This first for an American college team will be defended in February of this year. Under Sailing master, Jack Wood, the team has the determination and the ability to bring the National crown back to Tech for the third time in four years. SAILING LETTERMEN J. Barber W. Blalklock N. Newman W. Stile S. Strong K. Dunipace (Mgr) BASKETBALL With Scotty Whitelaw stepping down to freshman basketball coach and John Burke moving up to varsity coach, the hoopsters had a complete rejuvenation. In the opening game of the season, sophomore Bob Polutchko and Murray Muraskin racked up eighteen and seventeen points, respectively, to lead the Techmen to a 74-65 win over Trinitv ' . A couple of days later. Clark fell prey to the shooting of captain Mac Jordan and sophomore Lee Cooper, among others, by a 73-64 margin. A heartbreaking loss to Amherst in overtime fol- lowed. Then the Beavers went wild in setting a new scor- ing record by beating U. of New Hampshire 94-53. Sam Wilensky sank two fouls to send the team over 88, which was the old mark. Other results included wins over Lowell Tech and Bowdoin and losses to arch rival Har ' ard, B.U. and a few other schools. The season can be considered successful with an hon- orable record of wins and losses. With sophomores Polutchko and Cooper coming back and help from a freshman team that was undefeated in its first six contests, the Beaver basketball teams of the next couple of years should turn in favorable performances. 244 M -mm ,i R!nffl?dIn ® i rv TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY The Track team, last year, guided by Field Coach Arnie Arneson and Track Coach Oscar Hedlund made many good appearances, even though the actual record was by no means spectacular. Varsity Captain John More- field, who was also the top man on the team, did manage to set one record during the season. His throwing of the shot 53 feet, 3.5 inches set a new Briggs Field and NEICAAA record. The season ' s highlight came during the New England ' s, when the team finished in third place rather than in sixth or seventh as had been expected. The Cross Country season, also, was not spectacular, in spite of the high spirit demonstrated by the team. Tech, unfortunately, began its C.C. season quite slowly, and although everything seemed to pick up remarkably in the last few meets, the damage had been done. The Tech- men ' s record in dual meets was two and two, and they placed sixth in the NEICAAA but only sixteenth in the ICAAAA contest. This year ' s team should do considerably better, according to Mgr. Jim Mulholland, with experi- enced performers for Tech. TRACK LETTERMEN E. Bell G Bennett J. Buell P.

Vaughn SWIMMING A highly successful season was turned in by the var- sity swimming team which compiled a six wins, five losses and one tie record for the first winning season since 1949- 1950. The swimmers defeated Wesleyan, R.P.I., Tufts twice, U.S. Coast Guard Academy and W.P.I., while los- ing to Harvard, Brown, Springfield, Trinity, and Bow- doin. U. of Mass. tied the Tech team by coming from behind to win the final relay. The season ended with the New England Intercollegiate Swimming Championships in March. Three New Tech records were established dur- ing the season while several others were seriously threatened. Dave Bryson set a new mark in the dive with a point total of 92.16 in the first meet against Bowdoin. Ed Getchell established the 100 yard Butterfly record against Tufts with a 1 ;06.3 clocking. The 400 yard medley relay record was set and broken several times during the season. The final combination for the new record was Al Hort- mann, Lynn Jacobsen, Ed Getchell and Captain Harry Duane. Murray Kohlman, the top scorer for the second year, was the outstanding swimmer on the team as he consist- ently won the 220 and 440 yard freestyles. Neil Divine did an outstanding job in the 200 yard backstroke. The 400 yard freestyle relay made up of Bill Veeck, Roger Kane, Bob Jantzen, and Harry Duane showed excellent improvement as their time dropped fifteen seconds over the previous year and repeatedly threatened the school record. Varsity Coach Gordon Smith is losing only three of his fourteen lettermen. Several good prospects from the freshman team should also help make next season a great one. The top freshmen were John Windle and Bob Barrett in the freestyle, Charlie Rook in the backstroke and but- terfly, and Burnell West in the breastroke. SWIMMING LETTERMEN D. Bryson P. Cotter H.

Newhall S. Ohlson A. Perciballi A. Richman R. Skavdahl C. Speer J. Sullivan R. Turner The 1956 Baseball team, coached by Koy Merritt played excellent ball throughout the season. After the first game, a sensational 6-2 victory over Brandeis at Briggs Field, hopes were raised for a really outstanding season, but defeat at the hands of Wesleyan dampened those thoughts. Nevertheless the Tech nine ' s final record was not one for us to be ashamed of. Dick Skaverdahl, John Sullivan, and Ed Newhall turned out to be among the most outstanding performers, and assisted by such other stars as Al Richman, Larry Hallee. Dick Speer. Walt Ackerlund, Bob Turner and Co- Capt. Stu Olhson offered tough resistance to Worcester Polytech, Boston University, Boston Co llege, Lowell, and the USCGA. Prospects for next year look rather promis- ing. A fair number of returning varsitymen along with strong replacements from the present J.V. and Freshman squads should insure our strength on the diamond next spring. ■TS «  (5 ,j ;v-AiSii) ;.- .iJf iia ' , LACROSSE Lacrosse last year looked as though it was in for a tremendous season, what with the terrific performances the team gave, up until the game against Concord, the defending Class C champs. In that game, high scoring co-captain Peter Dyke unfortunately broke his leg, thus putting himself on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. In spite of the loss, we did bring Concord down to defeat, but had considerable trouble in all of the suc- ceeding games. Co-captain Joe Hamlet along with Marinos Jerry Gerakis and Pete Frye, just could not seem to click. Spirit was good, but the boys just could not manage to pull out a victory. Coach Ben Martin ' s boys, all in all, turned in a five and four season which is not bad, especially in the light of the loss of Pete Dyke, but disappointing in considera- tion of pre-season expectations.

In none of our games, were we ever actually out of the running until the last crucial minutes. Coach Ben Martin had plenty to work with, especially in the persons of Sandy Aitkin and Captain Johnny Sullivan. That the season was not more of a success may be more attributed to poor luck than to any other factor, for those two men would have been enough to carry the rest of the team. Sandy developed into an outstanding defense player being especially conspicuous in the net against such rivals as the University of N. H., Colby College, and Princeton University. Sally, as Capt. Sullivan is called, was out- standing on offense, and especially so against Northeast- ern University and Colby College. Another outstanding player from last year ' s team, Beverly Bev Goodison, is returning as this year ' s captain. From all indications Bev should give an outstanding performance, and could find many other promising teammates. HOCKEY LETTERWINNERS A. Aitken T. Buffett J. Coult H. Durivage P. Ekberg B. Goodison R.

Bradford Durfee, University of Connecticut. Trinity, Boston University, and Stevens Tech were all beaten by the team while only Harvard and City College of New York won. Holy Cross was still on the schedule at press time. With a five and two record already, the team is looking forward to the New England Invitational Tourna- nient, the Eastern and National Intercollegiate Tourna- ments. Coach Silvio Vitale, a former Italian three-weapon champion, produced individual standouts in each weapon. Roy Norris, ' 57; James eitling, 57; and Larry Camp- bell, ' 59; were the top men fencing sabre, foil and epee respectively. Captain Harold Miller. ' 57. and Barry Shabel, ' 59, were also noteworthy performers. An ex- tremely large freshman turnout promises excellent pros- pects for the coming years. WRESTLING Among the outslaiuliiig men on lliis year ' s wrestling team were Captain Tun ertin and last year ' s Captain Harris Hyman. Along with John Lunderman. Mike Flint, Kay Order, and the rest of the team, these men managed to finish with a fine season. The varsity beat Boston Uni- versity and the United Stales Coast Guard Academy, lost very close matches with Wesleyan and the University of Massachusetts. They were, as usual, creamed by Harvard. The frosh record was hardly as good. They did not win a single match although they came close once or twice. Freshman captain Bill Martin and Don Weaver, the 128- pound backbone of the freslimen team, were the outstand- ing frosh e en though Weaver was out half the season, both did well at Dartmouth and at the New Englands. The many returning lettermen plus this year ' s freshmen should be a good combination for next year. SKIING An e, tremely successful season was turned in b) the 1956 Beaver skiers. A first place in the Brown Giant Sla- lom, held at North Conway, New Hampshire, started the season off very nicely. First ' s in the Eastern Intercollegiate Divisional meet, held in Vermont, and in the Keene Teachers Trophy contest, also in Vermont, soon followed. After that, unfortunately, the lean years set in. A lowly tenth ill the Eastern Intercollegiate Meet followed, and then a sixth in both the Tufts Challenge and the Harvard Giant Slalom. In the last contest, the Boston College Trophy Slalom, the Techmen placed fourth. Among Tech ' s more outstanding skiers are Captain Richard Schwaegler. Gunnar Brandamo, Trond Kaalstad, and Larry Young, all varsity men for the past two seasons. Capt, Dick Schwaegler 253 RIFLE Finl Row, to r: Robert Borgwordt, Horry Johnson, Sgt.

The I ' nited States Coast Guard Academy, The Maritime Insti- tute, and Saint Johns, dropping to Army and Navy in erv tight matches. Later the sharpshooters went on to win the New England Sectional Collegiate Championship and the Greater Boston Collegiate Kifle League crown. Ttch had a good number of riflemen who could be con- sidered outstanding, but in the opinion of manager George Bohlig. Bob Borgwaldt and Joe Jennings were MIT ' s best shots. Matches in which Tech participates are run on a three position basis, viz., prone, kneeling and standing. The best five scores are entered as to the judging, al- though ten of our men usually compete in a meet. SQUASH In spite of the terrific amount of talent possessed by the members of the MIT Squash team, especially in the form of number one, Juan Hermosilla, who ranked second in the United States, the record established by the squad was far from outstanding. We did beat Trinity and Wes- leyan, thou gh, to come out with a two and eight season. A number of our losing matches were heartbreakers, though, and the record was by no means a fair estimate of Tech ' s ability at the sport. Among the schools to whom MIT bowed were Adelphi, Dartmouth, Yale and Army. In number two position this year was Howard Cohen, in three Tom Thomas. Gene Vinson, Bill Bateman and Henry Leydon. were fourth, fifth and sixth. 254 RUGBY riif Kugb Clul) is an organization composed of l)olli graduate students and undergratluates who are interested in the playing and the promotion of the sport at MIT. The Club is unique as a sport in that it is not under the authority of the Athletic Association but is a recognized Class B activity. During the fall the team played against such neigh- i)oring rugby enthusiasts at Dartmouth, Cornell, The New York Rugby Club, an d The Montreal Barbarians Rug- ger Club. During the spring the club left the East for the first time to fly to (California and there compete with the U. of California, Stanford, and the San Francisco Olympic Club. Captain Ken Jones, Charley Henry, Doug Lang, George Brown, and Joe Walsh, who has, incidentally been with the team since its inception in 1948, are but a few of the many excellent Rugby players of which MIT may boast. SOCCER The 1956 Soccer season for MIT may be regarded as one of Tech ' s best. The final record was 3-1-1. The tied score having resulted from the fact that darkness forced the end of the game with Springfield after two overtimes. In the first game of the year. Captain Harald Henriksen led the team to a terrific victory over their opponents, the boys from Harvard Square. In the Tech- men ' s only loss, to The University of Connecticut, the Technien were leading all the way. but with about eight minutes left to play, Lconn managed to score one past goalie Rudy Segovia, and followed it shortly with another, for a final score of 2-1. Some of the other fellows on the squad who were especially outstanding were Tom Buflett, Herb Johnson, Reinaldo DoVal, and Subin Banharnsupvat. Prospects for next year seem bright, a number of varsitymen will be returning, and they will be joined by men from the other squads.

The beginning of the year went quite well, but the southern trip during the mid-semester break was a flop. During that trip, the Tech pistols shot against Navy and the United States Merchant Marines, the two top teams in the country. The Annapolis sharpshooters set a new range record in defeating the Men from Cambridge by 1408 to 1265. The USMM Academy provided the next competition for the Tech Triggermen. The Marines squeezed out a 1238 to 1216 victory over the courageous engineers. Immediately after returning from this tour, Technology competed in a three way match with Harvard and Brown, taking first place with a score of 1275 to Brown ' s 1225 and Harvard ' s 1274. The last match of the season was played against the University of Connecticut. It is interesting to note that Pistol is one of the only sports at which we beat Harvard this year. Captain Rook, USAF, and his boys deserve hardy commendations. GOLF Golf at M.I.T. was a big disappointment in 1956, and with good reason. As a sport which requires a great deal of practice, Golf by its very nature is inconvenient for M.I.T. men, who are unable to take an afternoon off to go play. The difficulty of arranging playing time has led to a lack of interest resulting in a poor turnout for the team. This in turn resulted in a record of nine losses in 1956. Brown, Wesleyan, Babson, Harvard, Colby, B.U., Bowdoin, Holy Cross, and B.C. all defeated M.I.T. in their whitewash record. A twelfth place out of the twenty- four teams in the New England Invitational Golf Tourna- ment was the only bright spot of the year. Captain Joseph Bowers was the leading golfer and he was back to play in the 1957 season. Help from the fresh- man team which had a three-and-one record last year was also appreciated.

AC The Ed appreci Seventy political ■ To the reader of the foregoing pages we express the hope that the results of our efforts are such as to merit approbation. Whether modestly or otherwise, we assume such to be in some measure the case, and thank you for your appreciation of our endeavors. The following pages are no less worthy of your careful perusal, and will, we trust, be of mutual advantage to you, and to those who have so courteously and heartily given financial support to TECH- NIQUE. It is hardly necessary for us to say that the firms represented in our advertising columns are among the leading Houses in their respective departments, and that students who are strangers in the City can go to them with entire confidence. Remember, that one good turn deserves another, and accordingly give a share of your patronage to those who have advertised with us, and be sure and mention TECHNIQUE. Hoping that this last piece of advice may have the desired effect. we lay down our pen with a sigh of relief, our only wish being that you may have more reason to commend, than condemn, the Editors of TECHNIQUE. -Rogers Jamison Wollcott III -Ezra Framingham Saltonstall 238 I7() SENIOR DIRECTORY WILLIAM THOMAS ADAM BE 2 Rocky Hill Rd..

Hojv to influence fluids Getting steam, gases and liquids to cooperate in the profitable processing of a multitude of products is a critically important job. A job that requires ingenuity and experience. Mason-Neilan engineers are experts in inducing fluids to do exactly what is needed. Whether the problem is to control fluid pressure, flow or tempera- ture ... or to time and record operations — Mason- Neilan designs and manufactures the equipment to do it accurately and economically. Does this sound interesting to you? If it does, and you suspect you have a persuasive way with fluids — why not investigate the possibility of a future for you with Mason-Neilan.

BEVERLY RICHARD GOODISON 275 Exploring the Universe: Sub-Atomic Worlds. ... To Creeks, the atom was literally a-tomos, not 10 be cut. Now its very nucleus is split and scientists are tracking sub-atomic particles, seeking to discover ihe nature — order and meaning — of avast, dynamic universe in which domestic notions of space and time and energy do not apply. Ethical corollary: The finds of nuclear exploration must be employed not in the service of a scientific, or economic, or political provincialism but wherever ihey are needful to the physical, mental and moral rehabilitation of men and of societies.

' , N- 1- 1 the view from 100 years Within the next century, all the xcorld Kill be poor in energy , ..except for atomic energy, Can we say then — since there is a positive correlation between energy con- sumption and national income, and between national income and individual living standards — that many of today ' s children may see, and suffer from a world-wide poverty? The industrial West— metallurgy, combustion engines, chemistry, steam, electricity, electronics — was built and is maintained by potier derived from fossil fuels. It is a coal and oil civilization and it, alone, in the next century could consume all the free ivorld ' s coal and oil resources. Now, however, the once-agrarian East and Latin America — two-thirds of the world ' s population — also are determined to have the benefits of industriali- zation: power to conquer poverty and disease; power to create and maintain an economic self-sufficiency; and, out of that, power to create and maintain political freedom. The practical developments of the Industrial Revolution that have so pro- foundly changed the world economy since 1856 — the Bessemer converter, aniline dyes, oil-cracking, the internal combustion engine, the electric motor, electric light, electric power, synthetics, electric and electronic communica- tion, automation and computation, the submarine, winged and wingless aircraft and the space rocket— were the direct result of preceding theoretical explora- tions by Galileo, Bacon, Newton, Gauss, Laplace, Faraday and those others who could visualize new worlds. The Atomic Revolution now overthrowing present conceptions of power, transport, communication, medicine, agriculture and biology— and hence colonial and collectivist politics— stems directly from the pure and applied scientific research of Curie, Rutherford, Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Eermi, and hundreds of others. It is evident, then, that exploration oj the universe is now requisite to our survival as men and nations. Thus, prospecting for new energy sources — whether in sub-atomic worlds, in the atom, in the earth, in the sea, in the sun, or in the dynamics of stars- is an enterprise for new scientiit-manager-engineer-share owner groups. Cor- porate systems with the research and de velopment capabilities, the produc- tion facilities, the financial capacity and the courage to fit out scientific expeditions to new and far places — and to capitalize on their discoveries. General Dynamics today is the product not only of its omti particular history but of the scientific and industrial history of the Western world. As such. Dynamics declares its corporate purpose to be: The comprehensive exploration and translation o the basic forces of nature into useful work under the sea, on the sea, on land, in the air, and in space beyond the earth ' s atmosphere. 277 WILLIAM KNOWLAND GOODWLN, JR. 102 Washington St., Marblehead, Mass, IV-A Arcliilerture: Dean s List 9 terms; Entered as Freshman from Marblehead High Scliool, Marblehead, Mass.; 5:15 Club; Society ol Tech.
