Two groups of sophomoreshave drawn up tentative slatesof candidates for the springelections. Edward J. Marguliesand Waldo (Bo) Newcomerhave announced their candi-dacy for president of the class of1952 in its junior year.

Margulies heads a slate composedof Harold R. Lawrence and James L.Stockard for Institute Committeeand Stanley I. Buchin for Secre-tary-Treasurer of the class. Mar-gulies, Buchin and Stockard arefrom the dorms, while Lawrence isa commuter.

Listed in an opposing party are,in addition to Newcomer who comesfrom Delta Psi, Gilbert H. Lewis ofPi Lambda Phi and Lawrence W.Mayer of Delta Upsilon, candidatesfor Institute Conmittee and Hen-neth A. Johnsson of' Sigma AlphaEpsilon for Secretaly-Treasurer.

Both presidential candidatesserved as Institute Committee rep-resentatives of their class and onthe executive council of the Sopho-more Council during the past year.Newcomer has also been presidentof the Q"' Club, student Chairmanof the Red Cross drive and hasplayed football and lacrosse.

Margulies has been active on theElections Committee, the T.C.A.,the Sophomore Field Day footballteam, and Is serving as chairmanof the Soph Prom Committee,Sectetary-Treasurer of the NewDormitory House Committee, andon the Activities Ball Committee.

The parties were organized andthe slates drawn up in. caucusesheld recently.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPEROF THE M.I.T. UNDERGRADUATES

Construction On MetalsProcessing Lab&oratoryPlanned For Early June

Construction of a new MetalsProcessing Laboratory, which willbe erected with the gift of one mil-lion dollars by Alfred P. Sloan '95,is rapidly nearing realization. Asite on the Institute grounds inclose proximity to the GuggenheimAeronautics Laboratory, the WrightBrothers Wind Tunnel, and theSlosan Automrrotive Laboratory isplanned.

Construction is to begin by Junei. The building will be about 250feet long and 50 feet wide. It willface Vasser Street, and will standat -the site now occupied by Build-ing 23. The structure will be a five-story affair and of modern design.Large areas of glass brick and aplain exterior surface is planned inkeeping with nearby buildings.

Objectives of the Metals Process-ing Laboratory cover both teachingad research. Students in certainengineering courses are to receiveindividual instruction in foundry,forging, stamping and weldingprocesses. Investigations of a basiccharacter in the general field ofmetal work is also planned.

Director of the Metals ProcessingLaboratory is Professor John Wulff.He is assisted by an advisory com-mittee composed of Professor C.Richard Soderberg of the Depart-ment of MechanIcal Engineering,Professor John Chipman of the De-partment of Metallurgy, and Pro-fessor Erwin H. Schell of the De-partment of Business and Engi-neering Administration.

Rooms Available May IPlans for student occupancy of

the hotel are being studied by thecommittee on Dining and HousingFacilities. Although a definite.pro-gram has not yet been decidedupon, it is expected that a fewrooms will be available for studentsshortly after Miay 1 of this year.

A larger number of rooms shouldbe ready by the fall of this year,and there is the possibility that bySeptember, 1951, Techmen will haveRiverside all to themselves. Duringthe gradual transition from anapartment hotel to a student dorm-itory, the building will remain un-der the management of an inde-pendent real estate agency.

Room for Six HundredIt is not expected that large scale

remodeling will be necessary, butthe kitchenette installations willprobably be removed before stu-dents occupy the rooms.

The building will eventually pro-vide living space for over six hun-dred Tech students. This will ex-pand dormitory facilities to a ca-pacity for 2100 students. Thus, forthe first time in Institute history,it will be possible to accommodatemore than half of the student bodyin dormitories or fraternities.

dinner.

cubo-octahedron. This solid of.eight triangular and six squarefaces he has renamed the Dy-maxion.

Mr. Fuller calls his subject "Ener-getic Geometry" because it is con-cerned with equilibrium andchange among the radii or edgesof geometric solids. He- believesthat these equilibria or motions arerelated, at least by analogy, toforms of potential and kineticenergy.

Ping-Dong ball models illustratedMr. Fuller's point that such a slightchange as the removal of a singleball could transform the Dymaxionsuccessively to icosahedron, dode-cahedron, and so on. A scale modelof the Dymaxion house was amongthe exhibits in this talk, I

At the annual convention of theInstitute of Radio Engineers, a newradio tube was announced whichwill greatly improve the efficiencyof electronic computers. StephenH. Dodd, Jr., Dr. Hans Kepler, andPatrick Youtz, all of the InstituteServomechanics Laboratory, madethe report,

Looking like a glass automobilemuffler with an extra pipe comingout of the end, the new tube isliterally a storehouse for numbers.It will hold its information as longas power is supplied and can re-ceive a particular number intwenty-millionths of a second. Thistube, the designers said, will be es-pecially useful because it can re-member a 400 digit number.

Storage tubes of the type men-

tioned at the convention are im-portant because they can be usedas "notebooks" in which the ma-chine keeps track of problems, in-structions, and partial answers inthe course of computation. A newcomputer that is to be built willcontain 32 such tubes.

The new tubes operate by storing"dots" of electric energy on a roundstorage surface. Each tube will re-cord a choice of only two digits-either zero or one, "yes" or "'no'"-in any of the 400 different positions.

Conventional numbers higherthan "0" and "'" are representedby combirnations of those two. Theelectrostatic tube might treat thenumber "9" by remembering the"0" in a particular location andthe 'T' Ln another location.

Geometry was energized here lastMonday in a profusely illustratedlecture by Buckmster Fuller,famed designer of the Dymaxioncar and house. Mr. Fuller has beeninterested in mathematics in gen-eral, and solid geometry in parti-cular, since his Navy days of thirtyyears ago. He has educated himselfin this field, meanwhile discoveringmany interesting relationshipsamong solids which are never ex-plored in traditional school courses.

Various experiments, the speakerexplained, had convinced him of afundamental four-foldedness of theUniverse. Then it was an easy stepto the four-faced figure, the tetra-hedron. Further experiments withspheres, hexagons, cubes and otherregular polyhedrons led him to the

RIVERSIDE AND RUSHINGThe Institute's purchase of the Riverside Apartments

comes as a surprise to most students who had expected a muchlonger time interval between the completion of the New Dormi-tories and any further significant improvement of the housingsituation here. When present tenants are moved out and altera-tions are completed, the building will provide living space for600 students. This fact should provide food for thought foranyone concerned with the proposed deferred fraternity rush-ing program. We have argued the case for such a program onseveral occasions during the past year. It is generally concededthat the freshman will be aided in weighing the pros and consof fraternity living and he will be able to compare the varioushouses on a more concrete basis if he spends some time oncampus before he is forced to come to a final decision on livinggroup affiliation. The administration appreciates the possibilityof attaining a much more integrated and unified undergraduatebody by keeping the freshmen together for -a term or two beforethey are split up into the various living groups. Fraternityopinion is divided; deferred rushing would eliminate many ofthe problems inherent in the "present system and would permitthe fraternities to examine prospective members more care-fully, but the houses would be forced to "lower their standards"and pledge a greater number of men each year to make up forthe missing freshmen. Deferred rushing can be instituted onlyif it is possible to put all the freshmen in the dormitories. TheIFC appointed a committee last term to investigate the question,and feeling that new dormitory space would be a long timein coming, the committee dismissed the problem and went onto find other means of improving the rushing situation. TheAdministration, avowedly in favor of a deferred rushing pro-gram, has been able to put the q'uestion off for-the same reason.

Deferred rushing is no longer an academic problem; thepurchase of Riverside affords a means for instituting such a"program just as soon as the building becomes available foruse as a dormitory. Excluding those entering students who areresidents of Greater Boston and would live at home, the entirefreshman class could be housed at Riverside. We hope that thisopportunity will be taken. If it is not, deferred rushing vialreturn to its former status as a hypothetical possibility, and wefeel that it might stay that way for a long time to come.

LONG QUIZZESWe share the almost universal opinion that sometimes

quizzes "re too long. Not just too long to finish, because oftenit is desirable to design a quiz so that a grade may be assignedaccording to how much of the exam the student is able to com-plete in a given time. This kind of quiz should consist of a greatmany short problems of increasing difficulty, and it best servesits purpose if no quizzee is able to finish in the allotted time.But the hour exams given here are not based on this principle,and a class average of 25 or 30 per cent indicates that the quizwas poorly designed.

Such an exam does not efficiently test the student'sknowledge of the material covered, and it does not help toclarify and tie together this subject matter, an educationalservice which every good examination can provide. The futilityof such a quiz was ludicrously illustrated to a class full ofJuniors last week. After handing back the students own sadlyunsuccessful attempted solutions to the single problem on thequiz, the instructor began thrashing with it himself. One hourlater he had a blackboard full of chalk marks, but no answerto the problem.

SOCIALISM REVISITEDDifferent economic systems distribute the wealth in differ-

ent manners, but both laymen and economists have long recog-nized that it is the economic system that produces the mostthat can truly be said to perform the best. What use is it thateveryone have railroad tickets if there be no railroads?

It is here that the socialist state seems most likely to falldown. Critics of Labor Britain and Stalinist Russia point outthat no matter how equally these types of governments dis-tribute shoes, no one vill be better off if there are just notenough shoes to go around.

Picture for a moment a great city like Moscow or Londonwithout fuel to heat its houses, with a communications systemcarrying on only from day to day awaiting a total breakdown,with the transportation workers so incensed over their miserythat they are about to strike in protest, and without even anadequate water supply. This would indeed be a condemningpicture for a socialist capital. The picture is, of course, of ourown New York City, capital of the capitalist world.

Friday, March 10, 1950Page Two

After nearly eighteen years ofcontinuous service to the MI.T.student body, even the most lard-boiled skeptics are ready to admitthat the Associated Tutors are hereto stay. The story of the evolutionof the Associated Tutors begins inthe early thirties -when AlexanderDingee, jovial head of .the A.T. wasan instructor in Physics at the In-stitute. About this time there camea change in the department heads,and this change combined with -thelack in the number of college stu-dents dduring -the depression re-sulted in the release of about 27members of the Physics Depart-ment.

Opens Tutoring ServiceDingee survived the first year,

but was let go the second to findhimself in a position common tomany men at that time-jobless,and with a wife and three childrento support. Dingee, finding it im-possible to acquire a job, createdone. Alone he began ,to tutor inphysics, using a room in the RiverBank Hotel as classroom. The RiverBank Hotel is better known todayas the -'Gaduate House. He builtup his staff and reputation untilabout 1938 his annual income wason an even par with a physics pro-fessor at the Institute.

Boom Period After WarThrough the years, Mr. Dingee

has acquired four men besides him-self to take care of the tutoring.Dingee, himself, of course, takescare of the physics instruction,while William Lowell instructsmath and Mr. Anderson teacheschemistry. Besides these, Mr.Adams, former member of the In-stitute faculty for 25 years, teachesapplied mechanics, and Mr. Russell,another Institute veteran handles6.18. At first Mr. Dingee used In-stitute instructors in chemistry andmath, but due to the fact that thesemen seldom remained at the Insti-tute, he acquired the services oftwo local high school instructors,Lowell and Anderson.

During the period after the war,as many as 1400 to 15G0 differentstudents attended A. T. classeseach year. At present about 700to 800 of the student body attendDingee's classes. Mr. Dingee at-tributes the large drop to the factthat during the period after thewar many of the students werepicked by the armed forces to at-tend Technology, and apparentlywere not subjected to the samecareful scrutiny that the Admis-sions Department gives.

However, it is not to be implied

Pictured above is A.L.M. Dingee, headof Associated Tutors, pointing a know.

ing finger of eager 8.02 students beforea recent quiz

that only the lame ducks patronizethe Asociated Tators, for eachterm a goodly percentage of theDingee's students are on the Dean'sList. Mr. Dingee also feels that thephysics exams are not as difficultnow as they once were, so if youare taking a Course VIII subject,you can count your blessings.

Moreover, some classes tutor bet-ter than others, with this year'sSophomore class setting the poorattendance record at the AssociatedTutors. Nonetheless, although thedegree to which a class as a wholedesires tutoring varies from yearto year, the Associated Tutors ap-pear to have become a permanentpart of the Institute picture, satis-fying a very real need of Technol-ogy students.

Although their record is only twowins against six losses, the TechMatmen are traveling to New Lon-don to compete in the New EnglandIntercollegiate Wrestling Associa-tion Championships with highhopes of a reversal of form. Theintercolleglates are being held thisweekend and are run both on ateam and on an individual basis.

Both the Varsity and Froshsquads are entered in the Cham-pionships and they will be wrestlingagainst Tufts, B.U., Coast GuardAcademy, Amherst, Springfield,Wesleyan and Williams. Last year'scup went to the powerful Williamsteam with the Tech varsity takingfifth place and the Frosh placingsecond.

Tech's hopes ride with John Han-sen, Captain Will Haggerty, TomCallahan, and Larry Foley. Hansen,who last year took first place in the145 pound class in the Freshmencompetition, is one of Coach GeorgeMeyerson's brighter prospects.Throughout the past season, Han-sen has been one of the most color-ful and skillful members of theteam, finishing the season with arecord of seven and one, three byfalls.

HaggertSy, this year's captain, wasone of the mainstays of the teamthroughout the season finishingwith six wins as against two de-feats. Last year, in the tournament,Haggerty took third place in thevarsity 155 lb. class. Callahan,another of Tech's prospects, fin-ished the season with a record of3-1 while handicapped by a kneeinjury. Tom took first place in thevarsity 145 lb. class in the cham-pionships last year. Foley, who wasinjured at the beginning of theseason, returned to strengthen theteam with four consecutive vic-tories. Last year in the 121 lb. class,Foley took first place in the fresh-man competition.

Frosh hopes in the tournamentlie chiefly in the ability of theirbrilliant captain, Chuck Seymour.Seymour's record for the past sea-son is 5-0, with four wins by pins.

A great deal of his value to theteam can be found in his six feetfour inches of rebounding strength,which has made the difference inmany, if not all, Beaver victories.Then too, his great defensive workhas always played a large part inholding down the enemy score.

Lanky Lou never played basket-ball in high school, back in hishome town of Union City, New Jer-sey, but got into the sport duringhis span in the armed forces. Helearned the sport so well that hehad little trouble making the var-sity squad as starting center whenhe enrolled here in September 1946.

Modest and unassuming, Mortonfinds time for numerous activitiesand still manages to maintain anhonor rating which woeld give any-one good cause to envy. Back in hisSophomore year Lou played firstbase for the first baseball teamever to officially represent theBeavers on the intercollegiate levelPressure of other activities, how-ever, forced him to give up base-ball after that year.

Lou in Many ActivitiesHe is currently a member of Pi

Tau Sigma, M.I.T.'s honorary me-chianical engineering society, andalso of Scabbard and Blade, famil-iar to Techmen as a society forstudents of advanced ROTC. Thiswould be enough to satisfy mostpeople, but Lou also spends a lotof time in his Course II professionalsociety, the American Society ofMechanical Engineers. Still an-other of his activities is theM.I.T.A.A.

Lou's hobbies are rather vagueand numerous, his primary onebeing, of course, sports in gen-eral, and baseball and basketballin particular. According to manyof his friends another of his majorinterests is the cultivation of hiswell-known mustache, often men-tioned in Boston newspapers.

Basketball After GraduationWhen asked if he thought he

would continue to play basketballafter graduation, Morton repliedthat he would continue to play thegame until he became too old torun around the court. He hastenedto add, however, that this was notto be taken as meaning that heintended to turn professional aftergraduation. "I'm interested only insemi-pro, industrial league type ofbasketball," stated Lou.

Using value to the team as acriterion, Morton has been one ofthe best basketball players ever torepresent the Cardinal and Grey.This is what the Athletic Associa-tion has to say about him: "Lou isone of the most outstanding bas-ketball players ever to enter Tech.Without a doubt could make anycollege team in these parts. Asuperb hookshot and one of thebest passers on the squad whichgives Lou the option of playing any-where on the court on the offense.A real plugger all the time and canbattle with the best off the back-boards." The Beavers will have tolook hard to find a worthy replace-ment.
