concern for the earning power of MITmanagement graduates," ProfessorSchell said. "And I find," he contin-ued, "that many of our graduates havedone likewise. Indeed, when trying tocollect information relative to earningpower some years ago, I received atidal response to the effect that 'myearnings are in no sense a measureof my satisfactions as a result of myMIT training.'

"Long-term objectives are increas-ingly being accepted as a responsi-bility of leadership. Foresight in theguidance of industry is one of theprime requirements facing us today."

"And in our search for the fullestrealization of our capabilities," Pro-fessor Schell advised the alumni, "weshould not overlook our family, recre-ational, avocational, and devotionalactivities. Indeed, it is in these areasthat greatest opportunity for furtherdeveloping one's latent versatlityoften resides."

Professor Schell came to the Insti-tute as a part-time teacher of businessmanagement in 1917, when'he was as-sociated with the H. F. Miller andSons Piano Company. After becomingassociate professor in 1926 he wasnamed head of the Department ofBusiness and Engineering Administra-tion in 1931.

A graduate of the Institute withthe class of 1912, Professor Schell iswidely known for research in businessand economic problems. He has servedas an American delegate to interna-tional management congresses and asa consultant to the Department ofState. Professor Schell holds theAISC War Medal, the Gilbreth Medal,and the Wallace Clark InternationalAward.

through the mailTo the Editor of The Tech:Dear Sir:

In a "semi-Malthusian" mannerthe final exams approach arithmeti-cally while the nvmber of people us-ing the MIT libraries increases ge-ometrically. The faces on these peo-ple very often do not correspond tothe tired "techman" appearance, butrather to the smooth shining faces ofBU co-eds and Simmons girls. Theycome, no doubt, either attracted byexcellent study conditions or the pos-sibility of meeting a fine MIT stu-dent, but still they come. Their num-bers add to the volume of noise mak-ing studying for the Tech students,who pay for the right to use the li-brary, a bit more difficult. It hasreached the point where one nightthere was hardly a seat left in theScience Library. It is certainly ex-pedient at this time to remedy thissituation.

the collegeDoes the college student of today

realize how much college life haschanged since the last century? In-deed, has he ever even stopped towonder how his intellectual predeces-sors lived? Perhaps a look at the col-lege life of the Nineteenth Centurywould prove enlightening.

According to the Rochester Cam-pus, the dormitory rules in effect atthe University of Rochester in 1885included this one:

"Art. 10-Gas will be turned offin the halls at 10 o'clock in the eve-ning, and no student is expected toconsume gas in his room after 11o'clock."

It is true that such a regulationmight cut down the suicide rateamong frustrated freshmen. How-ever. would the college N.an of to-day accept such strict regulations?One might reply that today's studentwouldn't care, because he doesn't usegas; but let us look at the signifi-cance of the regulation, leaving outthe gas. Imagine the results of 11p.m. lights out at Tech!! Completedemoralization of the student body,to say the least! For the averageTechman, the day is still young ateleven. Indeed, times have changed.

As for the academic side of col-lege life (there is one, you know),the Bowdoin Orient recently publish-ed a report on academic standardsat Bowdoin in 1835. In order to beadmitted, a student "had to be ablet> read and write Latin grammati-cally, be well versed in geography,arithmetic, six sections of Smyth'sAlgebra, Cicero's Orations, the Bu-colics, Georgics, the Aeneid of Vir-gil, Sallust, the Gospels of theGreek Testament and Jacob's GreekReader." After wading through all

CHALLENGE TO UNSUBSIDIZED SPORTSMENThe MIT varsity lightweight crew ought to be on the Thames

this year in defense of its international title, but there are noofficial funds available. We have a fine chance of winning theChallenge Cup for the second year in a row, but we cannot win ifwe are not there.

It costs some $.6,000 for the- trip to England-if everyoneskimps and the crew pays much of their own living expenses. Thecrew wants to go-and win-but they can only do so with financialassistance-contributions from everyone who wants to prove thata college can have a good team without pouring subsidies out ofbottomless vaults into its athletic program.

Students have already seized the initiative. The Tech and theEast Campus House Committee have already contributed $25apiece to a "Send the Crew to Henley" Fund, and students willman a booth this afternoon in Building 10 in an effort to collectthe contributions of all those who have a genuine interest in crew,sportsmanship, and the Institute.

Give today-whatever the amount-give !CREEPING INTERFERENCE

Next week Inscomm will consider a move on the part of theSecretariat to extend its authority to the running of Dormitoryelections.

The proposed revision, that "the Elections Division shall con-duct the. . . regular annual elections of all living group representa-tives to Institute Committee" and "The President of DormitoryCouncil", is part of a new set of by-laws which will require theapproval of Inscomm.

The By-Laws of the Undergraduate Association specificallyreserve to dormitory residents the right to decide the manner inwhich their representatives shall be selected.

Perhaps under the guise of efficiency, Inscomm is merely try-ing to overextend its authority. Surely, if the success of the elec-tion was the prime consideration, Inscomm would realize that fairand meaningful dormitory elections are best obtained by keepingthe ballot boxes in the dormitories-where they belong-and underthe jurisdiction of the dormitory residents-who are the peoplebeing represented.SENIOR RINGS FINIS ON A SOUR NOTE

Institute Committee has finally set to rest the issue of SeniorRings. It seems only fitting that we should write the epitaph.

Out of the many hours of exasperating debate many improve-ments in the whole field of Ring negotiations have evolved. Butthere are some things which Inscomm-packed as it is with hard-headed realists-'cannot see any use in doing.

They cannot see any use in condemning a group of "gentle-men" whose conduct toward a lady member of the committeemakes one wonder whether the Institute produces men or jackals.

They cannot see any reason for censuring a chairman whosedeceit in the contractual maneuvers would make a Machiavellisleep uneasily.

They cannot see any reason for taking a firm stand on the issueof free rings because, for this year, what is done is done. Agreeingthat the committee members should pay the cost of their rings intothe Class of '56 treasury, Inscomm only requests, without com-pelling, that the members of the committee do so.

The result their motion has elicited is appropriate to the hesi-tant-or gutless, as we prefer to call it manner of their decision,governed most probably by the age-old absolute of political ex-pediency. None of the members-Harry Freidman, Edward Boggsor John Roberts, has seen fit to respond to the "social pressure"which Inscomm hoped their measure would apply, and none haveturned in their money to the class treasury_ We wonder whetherInscomm really intended "social pressure" or "whitewash."DROOL IN THE SUN

We accept with pleasure the opportunity extended to us byour funny neighbors to best them in yet another field of endeavor

-the beer-ball game.We too feel compelled to aid in reviving campus esprits-or

i;exprits" as our illiterate fellow journalists spell it.We await with bated--but non-alcoholic--breath the holocaust

this Saturday on Briggs Field, as once again Voo Doo and TheTech match wits, skills, and capacities.

there are great differences betweenthe various classes-all the differl-ence in the world between a beggarand a maharaja. Here there seemsto be a feeling of equality, for thepeople are constantly told they alreequal. I noticed, for example, thatwhen you talk to an American girl,you have no idea what her fatherdoes.

"I was also greatly impressed bythe strong religious feeling. This wasmost unexpected,judging from Amer-ican tourists.

do look pretty bad sometimes . . ."This caused the eyebrows to move upan inch, defying all laws of physiol-ogy, but then the bell rang and I hadto sprint away, leaving eyebrowvs,question . . . and mostly answer tothe question behind me.

The encounter made me thinkthough. Maybe things aren't as badas all that, and maybe I did neglectthe cheerful side of things somewhat.Having thus trodden on the nylonpath of positive thinking, it was notlong before a great many things thatare pleasant and encouraging present-ed themselves to mind. So, to restoreperspective, here are a number ofreasons to be cheerful about. DeanBurchard, please take notice!

-The chances for peace seem to beimproving. It looks as if diplomacyand the conference table are re-emerg-ing as a-tool for settling disputes.

-The discovery of the Saulk polio

vaccine, a giant step on the hopeful

road of conquest of disease.

-School is almost over.

-Youth, spring and girls.

-The Dodgers are right thelre on

top.

-Summe;r, sun, and some peace ofmind ahead.

Upon this cheerful note, time hascome to put the Ivory Tower intomothballs fox the summer. We raisethe drawbridge, and put away our

stock of barbs and flowelrs. Just one

last task remains, to say good-bye to

the seniors. Good-bye and good luck,

class of '55. Our world of tomolrrow

will be shaped by your hands and your

brains. We expect to be proud of you.

To those of you who will assume the

challenge and responsibility of leader-

ship, Lao Tse speaks across the ages:

A leader is best

When people barely know that he

exists,

Not so good when people obey and

acclaim him

Worst when they despise him.

"Fail to honour people,

They fail to honour you"

But of a good leadel, who talks little

When his work is done, his aim ful-

filled,

They will all say, "We did this our-

selves."

International

About a month ago, there tookplace, in Bandung, an Asian-Africanconference, attended by the represen-tatives of twenty-nine nations. Thesenations met to discuss their mutualproblems and their positions, rela-tive'to each other and the rest ofthe world. Perhaps the most impor-tant aspect of this conference is thefact that it took place-that is, thenew awareness of these states ofthemselves as an entity, and of theirown potential as a third power bloc.

The villain of the conference, ac-cording to the American press wasIndia's representative, JawaharlalNehru. Said Life, "India's PanditNehru and Red China's Chou En-laiseemed agreed on overall strategy. . . Nehru chaperoned Chou about."Newsweek pictured him drawing"delicately on his black bone ciga-rette nolder" while waiting for "les-ser delegates to pay their respects."It also had him speaking for Chou(who did nothing but nod his headin agreement), angrily stalking, snap-ping, glowering (over an anti-com-munist speech), and finally subsidinginto grumbling silence. I feel, inface of the above, that a sympatheticlook at India's position, or, at least,an attempt to clarify India's foreignpolicy is in order.

Perhaps the best way to begin isto look at India by itself. India(whose population equals the sum-med populations of all the nationsat the Bandung conference, exclud-ing China) is a nation divided into

Southhad cut his losses to a n- :imurnm-after making his bad bid.

Although East-West can il-.ke gameon this hand, it is quite clicult toreach and not very comfortatble whenit is reached.

North's remarks to South were lesslogical than genealogical, but one wvasvery much to the point. "I don't mindhow much of your money you lose, butwhen you lose mine, I get mad." East-West weren't mad, though.

With this column, the Kibitzer putsthe cards away and settles up thescore for the year. A couple of part-ing words of advice-postpone allfinesses, don't sacrifice when you'replaying with the worst player at th~table, don't bid unless you're lookingfor a place to play the contract, andmost important of all, hold goodcards! May your summer be filledwith good luck, good partners, anigood times.

China is a fact, our nonrecognitionof it simply agglravates the problelnby making communications almostimpossible. Nehru adds, "the peoplewho feel I am 'pro-Communist' arewI-ong."

As for India's attitude towards theUnited States, Nehru thinks it isone of 'extreme flriendliness', inspite of the suspicions aroused by ouridentification with colonialism (Indo-China) and reaction (Chiang, Rhee,et al.)what he calls our !'guilt by as-sociation." After explaining India'sdesire to be self-sufficient, he says,"American technical aid and advicehave given us the push we needed.We hope it will continue."

many classes, rigidly adhered to, eachwith its own lore, mores, and speci-fic role in society. There exists nodesire to cross these class boundaries.There is no feeling of pushing. Thereis rather a calm acceptance of thestatus quo, a quiet resignation tomake the best of life as it is. Thecultures of India are so varied thatit is difficult to say very much aboutthe average Indian, but these thingscan be said: he lives in one of 600,-000 small villages, he is illiterate,and he ig hungry. He is especiallyhungry. Says Nehru, "We have tosee to it that our people have enoughto eat," and, "Our first five-yearplan was designed so that we .wouldnot have to worry about hunger."India's economic potential is just be-ing explored. Its biggest problem iseconomic development. It has to de-velop industries to draw unproduc-tive people away from agricultureand alleviate the unemployment sit-uation. India must turn all its re-sources inward to meet the drasticneeds of its population. Out of theprecarious internal situation, a pol-icy of non-involvement seems to arisequite naturally.

The international situation is seenby Nehru as "a power conflict inwhich communism is used as a toolby one side and a target by theother." At Bandung he said, "Wewill not join with either bloc becausethat means losing our identity."

One ofr most successful Beaverlacrosse te -is in recent years finishedup their .son Wednesday as theydropped thriller to highly ratedDartmoutl- Dartmouth is undefeatedin collegi, e competition this seasonand has o: of the best teams in thecountry. -h's showing was one ofthe best n .!de against them and afterthe game -:,e Dartmouth coach stated"This is t]:e best MIT lacrosse teamany of my teams has ever faced."

Beavers Open StrongThe first period started slow with

Dartmouth drawing the first blood at6:45. The Engineers quickly ralliedback as Walt Frey '56, and Pete Dyke'56, collaborated for a goal at 7:54with Frey getting credit. Followingthe attack men's example, the midfieldtook over at this point with MarinasGerakaris '56, punching one home withan assist from Dave Scott '55, andfollowing with an unassisted goal.The first period ended with the Bea-vers holding this slim 3-1 lead.

Dartmouth wasted no time tyingthe score early in the second periodbut Gerakaris came through againand scored with an assist from Dyke.This lead was shortlived as Dart-mouth again tied the score and theperiod ended 4 all.

Dartmouth Takes LeadThe teams traded goals early in the

third period as Dyke scored for theEngineers unassisted. The rest of theperiod was a hard fought defensivebattle but Dartmouth finally slipped

· , ,,

in a goal and went ahead to stay, 6-5.The period ended this way with Dart-mouth beginning to worry about theirundefeated season.

The last period proved the clincheras the Indian defense rallied and heldthe Beavers scoreless while pickingup two insurance goals. Depth provedthe deciding factor as the Big Green

pulled fresh men off the bench.Frey and Dyke stood out for Tech

on the attack while Scott, Gerakaris,and Captain Pete Toohy '55, all playedexcellent games on the midfield.

Coach Ben Martin is looking for-ward to another good squad next yearas Gerakaris, Dyke, and Frey will bereturning to lead the attack.

Tech's varsity lacrosse team losttheir fourth game of the season lastSaturday to a strong Stevens squadby a score of 12 to 11. Playing oneof their finest games of the season,the Martinmen overcame a 10-5 half-time deficit to tie the score at 10-10in the opening minutes of the lastquarter. But Stevens pulled the gameout of the fire with two quick scores,one of them with two Tech men inthe penalty box, and went into afreeze until the final gun sounded.

The tremendous surge on theBeavers' part in the second half wassparked by Dave Scott '55, who play-ed the best game of his career whilenetting three, "Leaky" Dyke '56, whoscored four goals during the game,and Marinos Gerakaris '56, with athree goal effort. Co-captain DaveBrooks '55 was the big spalrk ondefense during the game's second

half as the MIT defense tightenedup to hold Stevens to only two tal-lies in the half.

The Stevens coach, "BRuzz" Sey-mour, commented after the gamethat he thought, "It was not possiblefor a team to come from so far be-hind and be able to tie up the ballgame within one period." The Techstickmen, as in all their games thisseason, were plagued by a slow startduring the first half. The team hasconsistently been three to five goalsbehind at the end of the first halfand has had to fight uphill every game,sometimes succeeding as at Amherst,and sometimes falling short as inthis game and in the Harvard game,where they overcame a 4 to 1 firsthalf deficit and lost a very close 6-5decision with the clock running outon their late rally.

Aided by the strong right arm ofAl Hauser '56, and the booming batsof Larry Hallee '56, Ed Newhall '56,and Pete Peterson '55, the Beaverbatsmen mowed down Brandeis in bothends of a double-header Wednesday,21 to 1, and 5 to 0, to climnb out of thecellar of the Boston Area League. Thetwin bill was unique in that eventhough it was played on Briggs Field,Tech was officially the visiting teamfor the fihst game, while for the secondgame the Beaver nine assumed theirnormal home team status. This wasdue to the fact that the initial fiveinning encounter xvas a continuationof a 6 to 6 tie at Brandeis on April 16,while the second game, which wentseven innings, was a regularly sched-uled contest.

The first game started off decep-tively calmly, as Brandeis pitcherDick Stein retired the Engineers inorder, while Brandeis managed to get

two men on base against Tech starterHauser without scoring. The Merritt-men exploded for eight runs in thesecond on singles by third basemanPhil Trussell '56, center fielder New-hall, and left fielder Hallee, four Bran-deis walks, a passed ball, and a hitbatsman. Hauser strengthened withthe lead, as he struck out two of thethree men he faced in the last of thesecond. Neither team scored in thethird, although both advanced meninto scoring position. Singles by short-stop Peterson, Trussell, Hauser, New-hall, Hallee, and Peterson again upfor the second time in the inning,along with a Brandeis walk led toseven runs in the fourth sending theCardinal and Grey into double figuresand a 15 to 0 lead.

Hauser once again made fast workof Brandeis in the bottom of thefourth, and before the visiting "hometeam" could recover from the disas-terous Beaver fourth, the Merrittmenpushed across six unearned runs inthe top of the fifth and last inning, asthe big bats started booming for ex-tra bases. After Hauser was thrownout and Newhall reached base on aninfield error, Tomn Jones '56 struck out,which normally would have ended theinning. However, first-baseman AngiePerciballi picked up a walk, and rightfielder Al Richman '57, was hit by apitched ball to load the bases andbring up second baseman John Sulli-van '56, who immediately singledbringing in a run and leaving thesacks filled. Hallee then stepped up forthe fifth time :n as many innings, andslammed a grand slam home run lomake the score a ridiculous 20 to 0.Not to be outdone, Peterson batted inand scored Tech's last run of the gamewith the second straight home run ofthe inning. After the Beavers hadfinally been retired, Brandeis maln-

Although the Beaver Freshmantrack team defeated Northeastern'sfreshman squad 64 2/3-611/3, thevarsity squad did not fare so wvell anddropped a 72-63 decision last Satur-day on Briggs Field. Northeastern hasa powerful team this season and haslost only one meet.

Highlighting the valrsity perform-ance for Tech was Stu Bengston '55,who turned in an eye-catching miletime of 4:26.5 to take the event. Stu

has been a consistent winner this sea-son, but this was his best time. Otherwins for the varsity included iHarrySchreiber '55, with a 2:00.6 half mileand John Morefield '56 with a triplewin in the discus, hammer and shot.

The TechPage Six

To honor the member of each g-ad-uating class who best exemplifies thetraits of leadership and characterwhich are essential to the educationalideals of the Institute and to perpetu-ate the memory of John Murray Clif-ford who typified those tr aits, theClass of 1948 established an awardfor the Outstanding Athlete of the'Year.

A selection committee consisting ofthe Director of Athletics, the Dean ofStudents, and the Permanent Presi-dent of the Senior Class selects theaward wvinning senior on the basis ofleadership, character, athletic achieve-ment and athletic improvement fromna group of nominees submitted by thehead coaches of the various intercol-legiate sports.

The winner of the Outstanding Ath-lete of the Year award from the Classof 1955 is Larry Berman.

As a sophomore Larry Berman wasa three-letter mzan, winning val sityinsignia in Cross-Country, Wrestlinl,rand Track. If it had -not been for twioinju-ries, he might well hare becomeone of the few nine letter win-ners inInstitute history.

A knee injury 'kept him out ofwrestling his junior year, but he wvonhis second letters in Cross-Countr yand Track and wvas elected capta nof the harriers for his senifor year.

As captain, he led Oscar Hedlund's

men to one of their most successfulseasons. They were undefeated in dualmeet competition and climaxed theseason by -rinning the New EnglandIntelrcollegiates. Early in that race,Berman stumbled and fell, losing oneof his shoes in the process. Befole hecould regain his feet, almost a hun-dred runners had passed him. Heworked his way back in the race andstarted to pass men (in Cross-Count)ryit is far more tiring to have to passa great many men than to take anearly lead and hold it). He was ableto make up enough ground to finis in the top five for Tech and save theEngineers some important points.

His knee once again kept him outof twrestling. A foot injury preventedhim from competing in his third trackseason. He amassed a total of sixvarsity letters; and injulies kept himfrom an almost certain three more.

Berman's Institute activities havenot been confined to athletics. A mem-ber of the Glee Club almost since hecame to MIT, he was its President asa junior. He was elected to the BatonSociety and, as a member, helped runthle All-Tech Sing and Tech Night atthe IPops.

He sas elected to Tau Beta Pi hisjunior year and, as a student in theAeronautical Engineer ing h o n o r scourse, will receive both Bachelor'sand Mastel's deglees next year.

India(Continued from. page 3)

I think there is much value in idle-ness.

"Il cannot say -what Indian idealsare. They vary with each class. Forexample, I think, the ambition of aservant is only to be a better serv-ant. People accept the status quo.Here, luxuries become necessities.Everything must be new. Trade inyour old car!I Get a new TV set!tKeep up with the Joneses ! Peopleare always being sold things, loudly.Propaganda about the Americanstandard of living comes at you fromall sides.

"The first thing you must realizeabout our foreign policy is that theanti-American feeling which -yourpress insists upon is all wvrong. Per-sonally I feel that if war came, In-dia would rather side with the West.It tries to sit on the fence and notget involved with one of the powerblocs. India has a hungry popula-tion to worry about, and a youngeconomy which could be easily shat-tered byt war.

In its simplest form,the cryotron consists of a straightpiece of wire about one inch longwith a second wire wound tightlyaround it in a single layer winding.Current in the second winding, thecontrol winding, sets up a magneticfield which causes the first wire tochange from its superconductingstate to its normal state. The resis-tance of the straight wire is thuscontrolled by current in the controlwinding. The device has current gain,that is, a large current can be con-trolled by a smaller current; it haspower gain; it provides d-e isolationbetween input and output; and it canbe conveniently connected into logi-cal circuitry to perform computerswitching operations. Furthermore,the device is small and operates atlow power levels. It is anticipated

.aged to avoid a shut out as they scor-ed in the last of the fifth on twosingles, a stolen base, and a passedball, to make the final score 21 to I.

Coach Roy Merritt made the sur-prise move of the afternoon, as, aftera short pause, he started Hauser againin the second game. After the reliableright hander had set the visitors downwithout a run in the first. and beforeBrandeis could enjoy a tie game forlon-, a walk to Sullivan, a single byPeterson, a triple by Newhall, and aBrandeis error led to three Tech runsin the bottom of the first. Brandeiscombined a walk and a single to puta man on third in the second, butonce again Hauser tightened in theclutch and pitched his way out oftrouble. Brandeis pitcher John Shara-now settled down in the second allow-ing the home team no hits. AfterBrandeis was held scoreless in the topof the third, the Beavers scored theirlast run of the afternoon on a singleby right fielder Dick Rush '55, a drop-ped strike out, and a single by Hauser.Neither pitcher allowed any moreruns, and the final score read: MIT-4,Brandeis-0.

The twin killing ended the '55 sea-son on a happy note for the Merritt-men, as it brought them out of a fourgame losing streak. The season'srecord was a mediocre 5 wins and 12losses, but the first five of these losseswere suffered on the annual springsouthern trip, for which only two

tain manner, and part of an outly-ing frontier of Europe. Due to ourimmense size, we are different politi-cal entities than the European coun-tries.

There are many historical similar-ities between the two landis. Bothcountries began at the same time,under George Washington and Cath-erine II. Russia reached her literalypeak about 1850-60 with Gogol, Tur-genov, and Dostoevski; we' reachedour peak at about the same time withEmerson, Melville, Hawthorne, andWhitman. Neither peak has been sur-passed. Our Civil War and the Rus-sian Emancipation of the serfs, con-sidered by Kohn to be the decisivemoments in both histories, were sep-arated only by about two years.

What is more fundazental is thatboth have been spiritual isolationists.Both feel that they are new, thatthey are more than nations, that theyexpress ideals. There is no commonblood and soul in America, whatholds us' together is an "idea". ThisAmerican ideal is the universal ex-tension of the English idea of in-dividual right under law. Our uniquecontribution is that we made thisidea universal in 1775.

Our concept of government is astrong individual and weak state.With Russia it is the diametrical op-posite. She stresses not the individ-ual, but community "togetherness".

We believe in dignity as a leadingvirtue, the Russians in humility, sub-ordination.

This is the country of the middleclass. We are unique among largenations with neither proletariat noraristocracy. Russia has the least de-veloped middle class.

In 1918 both Wilson and Leninpromised worlld peace. The two coun-tries then became isolationists, wevoluntarily, and Russia because shewas weak and wanted to build up.Despite many attempts to prove thecontrary on the part of many writersduring World War II, the fact re-mains that Russia and the US havenever been "friendly". Neither havethey been eneries; they simply nevermet until 1945 on the Elbe.

Professor Kohn then stated thatthe great battle, if there is one,might well be fought not so much inEurope as Heine and Tocquevillepostulated, but as Dostoevski said(1881) in Asia.

As an afterthought Kohn statedthat in his opinion the recent Baln-dung Conference of Asian and Afri-can states was perhaps the greatestevent in the past 10 years. Thesmall, weak countlies spoke up rorecourageously against Russia than anyEuropean diplomat. The faith in lib-erty of the individual has a univer-sal appeal even beyond the West.Reason, not force, dominates.

To the Editor of Thle Tech:

Dear Sir:As chairman of the Judicial Com-

mittee, I should like to bring to theattention of the readers of Thle Teclhtwo cases Tecently brought before Ju-dicial Committee. Two students werereprimanded by the committee forfast and dangerous driving behindBaker and Burton Dormitories onWednesday, May 4th during a milddemonstration when there was a con-siderable number of people in a po-sition to be seriously injured by suchdl iving.

Because of the dangers involved, itshall be the future policy to allowno student driven vehicles behind thedormitories along Me.morial Driveunder similar circumstances, and vi-olators of this policy may be moreseverely dealt with than those men-tioned above.

I should also like to take this op-portunity to refer to a notice whichappeared in the Maleh 25th issue ofThe Tech concerning some pieces offire equipment which were removedfrom the fire apparatus at the Vas-sar Street fire. Most of this equip-ment has been rather mysteriouslyreturned and both the CambridgeFire Department and Judicial Com-rnittee thank those involved for theirco-operation. However, as the Cam-bridge Fire Department pointed out,it should be stl essed that the removal'of equipment from fire apparatus isa serious legal offense and can leadto considerable trouble with city of-ficials.

fee.MIT increase 83% in 15 years

Over the last fifteen years manda-tory fees at privately governed schoolshave undergone increases rangingflrom 78% to 150% (Cal. Tech), withan average increase of about 94%.MIT, however, will have undergonean increase of only 83%, includingthis latest boost.

The nature of a technical school Te-quires that its educational facilitieshave available more money for capitalexpenditures than liberal arts schools,due largely to the fact that experi-mental equipment for use at all levelsis constantly becoming obsolete orworn out from constant use. Also,more classes at the Institute meetin small sections, steering away fromthe straight lecture-type course, butconsequently requiring the hiring ofmany additional faculty members.

Dr. Killian's letter closes with a re-minder that the Institute has the re-sponsibility of maintaining highstandards of teaching and research,and that adequate financial resourcesare essential to our continued educa-tional leadership.

WGBH-TV, Boston's non-commer-cial educational TV station on Channel2, began regularly scheduled broad-casts Monday, May 2, at 5:30 p.mn.Operated with the advice and cooper-ation of the Lowell Institute Cooper-ative Broadcasting Council, the sta-tion will draw upon the extensive re-sources of the Greater Boston areaeducational and cultural institutionswhich are members of the council.

The director of the Council andGeneral Manager of WGBH-TV andWGBH-FM, Parker Wheatley, pointedout "The inauguration of WGBH-TVmay be considered, in retrospect, animportant event in the histolry of edu-cation in New England. It will bringtogether, for the first time, the media6f television and radio under commonauspices for strictly educational pur-poses."

This spring and summer WGBH-TV will offer a moderate schedule, in-cluding many important experimentalprograms. According to Mr. Wheatley,these programs will "fulf.1i . . .. needs

for authentic information and guid-ance in the education of . . . children;for authoritative reporting, intelpre-tation and discussion of political, so-cial, and economic problems; for looksinto numerous fields of science andtechnology; and for nw experiencesof the arts."

WGBH-TV is one o- the most mod-ern and professionally equipped edu-cational TV stations in the UnitedStates, having the largest single tele-vision studio in Boston. The WGEH-FNM and WGBH-TV studios are locatedat 84 Massachusetts Ave. oppositeBuilding 7.

For the past few weeks WGBH hasbeen rebroadcasting sessions of theDiscrimination Conference held at theInstitute recently. These broadcastscan be heard on Monday night.

The appointment of Houlder Hudg-ins, Vice President of Galen VanMeter, Inc., Financial ManagementConsultants, as Professor of Indus-trial Management in the School ofIndustral Management at MIT wasannounced by Dean E. P. Blrooks to-day.

Born in Broklyn, New York, onMay 22, 1900, Mr. Hudgins has hadextensive business and industrial ex-perience. He prepared for college atthe Horace Mann School in NewYork, and was graduated from Cor-nel University with the degree ofBachelor of Arts in 1923. From thatyear until 1927 he was instructor ofIndustrial Management and Account-ing in the School of Engineering atCornell University. From 1928 to1932 he was assistant to the treas-urer and successively controller, as-sistant general manager and mer-chandise manager of landel Broth-ers, a department store in Chicago.For five years beginning in 1933 hewas manager of the Furniture andHome Furnishings Division of Mont-

gomery Ward & Company. He leftthis firm to become President ofSloane-Blabon Corpolration, manufac-turers of linoleum in New York.Subsequently he became Chairman ofthe Board of Sloane-Blabon Corpora-tion and Executive Vice Presidentof Alexander Smith Carpet Company,its parent organization.

From 1942 to 1944 Mr. Hudginswas on leave of absence for warservice. He was Director of Pur-chases of the War Production Boardand Vice Chairman 'of the JointBoard of Procurement Policy from1942 to 1944 and for the ensuing twoyears he was Chairman of the FloorCovering Industry Advisory Commit-tee of the War Production Board andthe Office of Price Administration.His service as Vice President ofGalen Van Meter, Inc. began in 1953.

This is the engine that's writing awhole new chapter in the book ofautomobile performance records. Thisis the engine that has stock car timersdoing a "double take" at their stop-watches wherever experts gather tocompare the abilities of the 1955 cars.

For example, in therecentNASCAR *stock car competition at DaytonaBeach, Florida, Chevrolet literally ranaway from every other car in its class-and a raft of others besides. In theone-mile straightaway run for low-priced cars, the first two places-andsix of the first ten--went to Chev-

ralets. And in acceleration runs from astanding start against all comers,the Motoramic Chevrolet beat all otherlow-priced cars-and every high-pricedcar except one!

What's behind this blazing perform-ance? A compact honey of a V8 thatonly the world's leading producer ofvalve-in-head engines can build. Chev-rolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8".

It puts a new kind of fun in yourdriving life. You're in charge of 162high-spirited horsepower-or if you'relooking for even more excitement, the new"Super Turbo-Fire V8" (optional at

extra cost) puts 180 h.p. under your toe!

Pick the one you'd rather have funwith, then come in and get behind thewheel. You'll see why the MotoramicChevrolet is showing its heels to every-one else on the road!
