The theme of the conference will be "Professional Education and the Whole Man" and discussion will center about the mutual problems of the In- stitute and the liberal arts schools taking part in the plan. The last combined plan con- ference was held in 1947, the year the plan was set up. At that time the basic principles of the plan were worked out and courses ar- ranged so that the student's first three years in liberal arts college would adequately prepare him for a final two years at Technology, leading to degree from each school. Since that time the plan has been quite successful. Over five per cent of last year's graduates began their college education in one of the fifteen participating schools. Conference Program The program will include a wel- come by Dr. Compton at a dinner tomorrow night and a panel on student government on Thursday presided over by iRobert M. Briber, President of the Class of 1952. At a dinner Thursday night Head- master J. M. Kemper of Phillips Andover Academy and Dean C. H.

UNDERGRADUATES Provisions for ninety students to take commons meals in the Snack Bar of the Graduate House have been conmpleted, Dean Bowditch has announced. The move alleviates the overcrowded conditions of the Baker House dining facilities. The students who made this shift yesterday are those freshmen liv- ing at Burton House who had originally contracted for their meals at Baker. Since all contract meals at the Institute are identical, these men are receiving the same food as everyone else and at the same price, $18.75 for fifteen meals Monday through Friday. The overcrowding of the Baker House cafeteria resulted from a little confusion during the open- ing weeks of the term. Approxi- mately 190 Burton House residents had signed for comnmons meals at Baker. After Baker residents, who are required to take commons meals there, had held a protest meeting twelve days ago, the administration decided to put into effect its pro- posals on campus living made last spring. At that time, it was sug- gested that only one-hundred Bur- ton House residents dine in Baker with the remainder to be accommo- dated in the Graduate House. With this plan now working all Burton House upperclassmen may contract at Baker House, while sal the freshmen who have not signed for commons at Walker Memorial now eat at the 'Snack Bar. No farther complications are expected. Dr. Compton Will Be The Guest of Honor At Stein Club Dinner Dr. Karl T. Compton, Chairman of the Corporation of the Institute, will ,be the guest of honor at a di'iner dance sponsored by the Bos- ton Stein Club at the Hotel Statler on Wednesday evening, October 17. Feature of the dinner will be the presentation to Dr. Compton of a' fund raised ~by the Stein Club to be known as the Karl Taylor Comp- ton Prize Found. The income of this fund will be used for prizes to be awarded to students of un- usual qualifications. Dr. Compton, who will speak at the dinner, is expected to disclose (Conttiued on Page 1) A new cooperative course leading to careers in Science Teaching has been inaugurated this semester at the Institute. The course, IX-C, is a five-year course, with classes at the In- stitute and at the Harvard Uni- versity Graduate School of Ed- ucation. At the end of the five years, students receive a de- gree of Bachelor of Science in General Science from Technol- ogy and a Master of Arts in Teach- ing from Harvard. At present there are two juniors enrolled in the new course. The idea for the new course came from President Killian who thought that although the Institute relies upon secondary schools giving their stu- dents a good basis in science, it has done nothing to help the high schools gain good instructors. The new course is designed to train science and mathematic teachers for junior colleges and high schools. Teaching Experience Students will have one course on teaching fundamentals at Harvard in their junior year, will spend one-third of their time at Harvard in their senior year, and two-thirds of their fifth year at Harvard. At the end of their junior year, ap- plicants for course IX-C will be examined ,by a board of Harvard and Technology professors. Those not passed by this board will be allowed to get their degree in gen- eral science anyway. Acceptance will not be entirely based on grades. The unusual and in the opinion of {Professor Rule, head of the course, the outstanding part of the program is that in the last term (Continued on Page 2) I'hoto by Fitzgerall From left to right, first row: Jane Hodgson, Ella Patton, Dell Lanier, Roberta Walker, Alicia Larde.

By ANN HALPIN '55 With the advent of autumn, col- leges and universities all over the country are welcoming incoming freshmen, and are introducing them to higher education. M.I.T. like these other halls of erudition, has opened its doors to 750 aspiring engineers, chemists and the like. Included in the class of '55 are fourteen co-eds. Surprisingly enough, these gihls are not what are classed as "tvypical Tech co-eds." While above average in intelligence, they are all very good looking, have well rounded personalities, and have diversified interests and hobbies, exclusive of books. You like argyles? See Ellen Dirba - she knits like Madamle DeFarge ("Tale of Two Cities," men). You need a haircut? Look up Dottie Gih-sburg-she's scissors happy, and she'll do it free for nothing. Anybody got a stray Con- federate flag? Bobbie Walker and Dell Lanier would be interested.

A repre- sentative of each floor of each unit of Burton House, two from each floor of Baker House, and one from each hall of East Cam- pus will be chosen.

They will spend a month vacationing in Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand, and will return to Bos- ton on December 21. Field Day rallies got off with a bang last Friday when the fresh- men held their first in room 6-120. Gil Gardner '53, and George Fuld '53, were in charge of the affair, and started the ball rolling about 5:00 p.m. Not more than fifteen mimnutes had gone by, however, be- fore it became obvious that repre- sentatives of the class of '54 were in attendance. Almost as soon as Mr. Gardner opened his mouth, tear gas began filling the room. The freshmen quickly withdrew, and sought revenge. A few members of the Class of '54 were captured and de- prived of their pants, this being the normal retaliation when a rally is disrupted. Since room 6-120 was no longer usable, the rally reconvened out- side Building 6. Before they were able to get started, however, water, the first love of embattled Tech- men, was brought into play. Build- ing 6 suffered more than any of the intended victims in the fracas, however. When peace once more descended on the group of fresh- men they heard various pep talks and an address by Head Track Coach Oscar Hediund on past Field Days. Shaff Shafted One point overlooked by most freshmen was the fact that the Sophomores were supposed to make a presentation during the rally. A few of the freshmen heard about it ahead of time, however, and formed a group to jump the pre- senting delegation as they entered the room. The Sophomore Intelli- gence Bureau, however, learned of the plan, and has put off the presentation until a later date. The Purple Shaft has yet to make its (Continued on Page ]t) CAMBRIDGEt MASS.

With per-mission from the administration,Brooks' Dues Comnmittee collecteda fee from each student, payablewith tuition. W-hen tuition wasraised later, this fee, along withsome others, was incorporated intothe increased costs.

Mr. Brooks considers the Institutea much more "human" institutionnow, as compared to his under-graduate days when all but a fewstudents came here only for anenghLneering education. The changehe attributes to the greater em-phasis now placed on the humani-ties and on extracurricular ,activi.ties-sports, societies, organiza-tions. "There were recreationalfacilities available then, but only afew realized their value. The ad-mmistration, though not inhabit-ing did not emphasize the im-portance of extracurriculars. Underthe guidance of Dr. Compton andDr. Killian, however, the Institutebegan to realize the need for de-veloping engineers with a broadoutlook." Mr. Brooks, having knownmen of both the old and newschools, has noticed the difference-the broader outlook shown by the

on October 27, as a feature eventin the 51st annual Field Day cele-bration.

The 54's team is sparked by theco-captains of last year's freshmansquad, fullback Rich Wilson andhalfback Bob White, and by hold-overs Jerry Golden, "Jarring Jack"Jackson, Dan Likely, and JohnZarcara, playing tackle, end, center,and quarterback respectively. Atpresent the squad is using thestraight T-fonnation in practice,but may later change to the spilt-Tor add a wingback.

day from 4-6 in the afternoon with

two games scheduled as warmupencounters. On Saturday, October13, the Sophomores play LawrenceAcademy at Briggs Field and aweek later tangle with TaborAcademy at their home grounds.The climax to the season will comewhen the Sophs tussle with thelarge, high - spirited freshmansquad.

An ominous, yet justified, warn-ing was given.by Athletic DirectorIvan J. Geiger when he suggestedthat Field Day football would becalled off unless the class of '54cam send more men out to practiceregularly especially since it hasbeen reported that the freshmansquad numbers close to 45 men.There is no question that theSophomores must rally to the chal-lenge and increase its representa-tion on the football field.
