"Pass the Hat," the most recent ofa long line of annual Tech Shows, willcome before the footlights tonight inCamblridge High and Latin Audi-torium. The audience consisting main-ly of Tech students, faculty members,and alumni who have returned for theevent, will see a show calculated togive them a fine evening's entertain-ment and to maintain the reputationthat has made Tech Shows an M.I.T.institution.

Entirely original, as it has alwaysbeen in recent years, this year's showis designed to appeal to the musicaland humorous tastes of 'all personsconnected with college life. Nearlyall the show takes place at a fictitiousmid-Western state university, com-pletely overrun by socially and ath-letically-minded "play boys" and re-splendent with good-looking coeds.Complications arise in the happy livesof the "country club" members withthe appearance of two Brooklynites,one a serious minded youth eager tostudy, and the other a Brooklynese"slang-slinging" gangster who some-how got lost in the shuffle after abank robbery and turns up at theschool with the cops hot on his trail.The story, the lively music, and thehumor-especially that of Arnold Le-vine, '53, in the role of a gangster-combine to give a presentation that isassured to be happily recalled manytimes in the future.

The 'story for "Pass the Hat" waswritten by Levine, while the musicwas composed by Lou Calcagno, '54.

Dr. Kar~tl Cqmpton . IVisits, AddressesB ritim RdiOE S ""T

Dr. Karl T. Compton, Chairman ofthe Corporation, was special visitorrecently at the Commemoration Dayceremonies of Imperial College inGreat Britain.

Dr. Compton's address at the schoolwhich is generally considered to be .theEnglish counterpart of M.I.T., dealtwith the topic, "The Growth of High-er Technological Education in theTwentieth Century." The President ofthe Corporation also touched on thebenefits of international links in thescientific and technological field.

Close AssociationsAfter thanking the Governors for

the award of his Honorary Fellow-,ship, Dr. Compton went on to say thathe wvas proud of the association be-tw een the two great institutions ofM.I.T. and Imperial College. Manypersonal friendships had grown upand there had been a rapid inter-change of new ideas. Dr. Comptonenumerated the people from Great!Britain, some from Imperiai, who

'were now working at the Institute,land pointed out that much of the in-spiration and guidance for the estab-lishment of M.I.T. in 1865, had comefrom the Kensington School.

In discussing the growth of techno-logical educatiqn in the 20th centuryDr. Compton had time to consider onlyone aspect, that revealed by a remarkof Sir Richard Southwell that indus-trial structure must determine thestructure of engineering education.He wcent on to say that since the be-lginning of the 20th century there hasvebeen tremendous advances in automo-tive, aeronautical, chemical, and elec-tronic engineering which have been ac-companied by corresponding changesin the teaching of engineering and ap-plied science.

Education Precedes IndustryDr. Compton emphasized that it

must be realized that it is not suffi-cient for education to follow industry,it must also anticipate its future re-quirements by wisely interpretingtrends and foreseeing needs.

To the Editor of THE TECH:

L I hope that this letter will not betoo late to be of value in the presentField Day controversy. I am greatlyconcerned by the current clamor toabolish Field Day and the Sophomore-Freshmen rivalry. I think that it isabout time that a freshman voice israised.

As a self-appointed arch-enemy ofthe Class of 1955, I have been therecipient, as my sophomore-instigatedtrip to Philadelphia certifies, of wellover the ordinary share of freshmanhazing. I have also taken an activepart on behalf of the freshmen by or-'ganizing rallies, conducting raids, andso forth. Yet, despite the study timewhich I have lost over the pre-FieldDay period, given the chance to do itagain, I would assign even more of mytimpe to class rivalry.

drawn out of their shells. It was as aresult of a dorm raid in which sev-eral freshmen were tossed en masseinto the showers that I was literallythrown into contact with the fellowvresidents of my hall. Needless to add,friendships developed 'rapidly afterthat. As a result, East Campus is nowa happier, more pleasant place for meto live.

Is it nonsense, as Jean-Pierre Rad-ley asserts, to unite in a commoncause freshmen 'who would otherwisehave no "common denominator?" Isit foolish to make freshmen identifythemselves with their class and hencewith the Institute? Is it wrong tobring freshmen together in a commonbond of friendship? Should I sitdown at my desk, shove my nose ina book and isolate myself from theother thirteen men on my floor?

Several objections have been raisedto Field Day and its antecedent classrivalry. The first of these is that classrivalry is detrimental to the charac-ter of freshmen. If we are to defineas detrimental that which draws

freshmen a little out of the narrowssphere of scholastic activity, then

[this argument might be valid; other-wise. I feel inclined to say that classrivalry helps as a builder of self-de-pendence and initiative. The unwrittenrules of fair play in the rivalry-Yes,there are such rules!-might well'beextended and modified to cover anyconflict in life. As for Field Day it-self, it is most important that it beretained, and its most prominent fea-ture, the Glove Fight, be continuedas a means of allowing 'hose who hadpreviously kept to themselves achance to take part in the rivalwyduring its last and most spiritedphase.

Another argument against classrivalry has been that it creates badfeeling between freshmen and sopho-mores during the remainder of theirM.I.T. careers. I need only point outthat many of the very best friendsI have made since coming to M.I.T.are those who were most active inhazing me.

The argument which I fdar willcarry the most weight in discussionsconcerning the future of Field Dayis that too much damage is done dur-ing the rivalry. From what I haveseen, I. can say that ninety-five per-cent of the damage is done, by onepercent of those taking part. Thesefew individuals could not be re-strained from breaking things, evendid they not have the name of classspirit under which to mask their ac-tions. In defense of this, I need butstate that the connecting door to myroom has been broken and I havetwice had occasion to visit the infirm.ary, due not to class rivalry, but ra-ther to the irresponsibility of otherfreshmen. It is the presence of suchindividuals that assures us that dormi-

FOR A STUDENT UNION

What with the Institute's available financial resources tiedup elsewhere, and with the rather limited means at the disposal of

the Baker Memorial Foundation which brought the matter up, theproposal of erecting a Student Union building on the West Campushas not received all the attention it deserves.

The program which the instigators of the rnove have in mindis indeed a formidable one. The actual list of types of spaces which

are to comprise the Student Union building is in fact short: meet-ing rooms, activity offices, reading rooms, record library, andrecreation space. However if we consider how many meetingrooms would be necessary, how many activities would be entitled

to office space, how many reading rooms would have to be pro-vided and how large a recreation area would be essential, it isobvious that we will finish with quiite a sizable building. An ob-stacle would be that of making the land available. Part of the pro-posed site, although owned by the Institute, is at present coveredby the business block opposite the principal entrance to M. I. T.The cost of the project at present estimates would reach $3,000,-

000. Even were a sum that large raised, there would still be theproblem of procuring building materials for what would be, fromthe Government's standpoint, non-essential construction. Opposi-tion may arise fromn those who contend that since we have WalkerMemorial, wve don't need a second building. Others may point tothe fact that having meeting rooms for activities and studentcommittees alone would be wasteful use of space, since today many,Institute rooms are serving the double function of classrooms dur-ing the day and meeting 'rooms at night. I

'In a recent editorial we drew attention to the Institute'sgrowth in size and wealth since 1916; to the l'epercussions whichthis substantial growth has had on the academic and non-academiclife of the student; and to the fact that the modification of the.student's environment has not always kept pace with his growth.

Nowhere has this la_ been more striking than in the question-of providing a congenial backdrop for the student's non-academicactivities. That the Alumni living at the turn of the century wereaware of the importance of 'this is shown by the construction ofWalker Memorial. But that was a couple of generations back,What was adequate space then is inadequate space now; androoms which were then regarded as well lit, heated and ventilatedare no longer considered comfortable today.

At present the headquarters of student activities are strewnhaphazardly about the campus. Some of the larger activities haveno more than a pair of rooms tucked away in a stuffy basement,with little or no room for expansion. Some of the smaller activi-ties are obliged either to meet in a classroom or in one of theWIralker lounges, which are bafdly ventilated or, as in the case ofthe Faculty lounge, are no more than a through passage.

The proposed Student Union, with adequate space and withfacilities for expansion could contain, apart from those roomsalready outlined, a drug-store and barbershop as an alternativeto those noa existing at the Coop. A record shop and a small gen-eral appliance shop could also be provided.

It tremains to decide Mwhat group could best undertake so largean enterprise. The choice seems to fall naturally on the EverettM-oore Baker Memorial Foundation. The Baker Memorial Founda-tion was one of the first to bring up the proposal in concreteterms. By probing and investigating new possibilities, by contact-ing faculty, alumni, students and visitors for aid and suggestions;in short, by keeping the great project steadily before the eyes ofall of us, the Foundation could provide for succeeding classes thenecessary congenial environment which is lacking at present. Itwould also symbolize in a new way those goals for which the lateDean Baker fought so earnestly. I

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5,1952 The Tech Page Three

The M.I.T. winter sports season willget off to a fast start this weekendwith a total of seven Beaver varsityteams engaged in intercollegiate com-petition.

The hockey team starts things roll-ing Friday night with a game againstthe University of Rhode Island at 7o'clock in the Boston Arena. TheRhode Islanders almost always haveone of the best squads in New Eng-land and promise to provide somestiff opposition for the Beaver sextet.

Saturday afternoon five m o resquads swing into action. The squash

team will travel to Hanover, NewvHampshire to meet the Dartmouthteam. This will be the first interiol-legiate match for the squashmen, whohave already won their first twoMSRA matches.

The swimmers will meet Amherst at 2 o'clock in the Alumni Pool, and the wrestlers face Boston University atthe same time in Briggs Field House.The fencing team clashes with Brad-ford Durfee, in Walker Memorial andthe rifle team is scheduled to meetthe Boston University sharpshooters.

The Engineer quintet opens its1952-53 campaign tomorrow nightagainst tthe powerful Hilltoppers.Since our last report to you on thestatus quo of the hoop sport here atTech, the bright light had continuedto shine. While the rest of us weresleeping off three months of too muchTechnology, the Five Was workinghard to round off the rough edgesbefore the first whistle.

The features of the weekend forCoach Scotty Whitelaw's squad wasscrimmages against the Harvard andBoston College VARSITIES.

The Crimson Squad still ha1s 6' 6"Dick Lionette a rangy, powerful re-bounder who has an extremely deadeye. Nevertheless the Tech, quintetheld their own throughout the scrim-mnage. When it was all over it wasimpossible to pick the better team.(The school from up the river isv,'ton ott'r schedule this year for onlyone -reason-there was a Tmixup inscheduling and they failed to let usknow they wanted to have us ontheir schedule until it ,was too late,and our.s had alr'eady beenl filled.)Against B.C., one of the strongertea.nS in Neu) England, the Ca?'di-wal and Grey ended up with jusstabout ten points less than the Eagles.Even this close score does slot revealhow well the team looked. Except fortheir phenomenal outside shootingthe Boston College five would havelost heavily, for the Beavers out-played them, all the way and weveremuI'Mch. sharper on the inside.

This game tomorrow eve shouldprove a real test. Trinity is the out-standing small college team in theeast and has lost but one man fromlast year's squad that toppled theEngineers 64-45. The remarkable ap-pearance of the team so far, coupledwith the fact that Trinity usuallygets off to a slow start each season,should make this game a real thriller.

The City game . . . is scheduled f or8:4, in the ! 37th street gymnasium.The gym is about the size of Walkerand there seems to be quite a littlesentiment about the contest in the bigcity, so- you may have some troublefinding a seat. However, the A.A. isasking for tickets to be sent up orto guarantee Techmen admission. Con-tacting the sports department or theA.A. would be a big help to you andus. incddentally, City opened its sea-son last Saturday with an unimpres-sive win (for City) over Hunter Col- Ilege 77-52. This is Hunter's first sea-son in intercollegiate basketball andthe former all girl's school has arather raw squad. However this doesnot mean that better is not to be ex-pected from the N\ew Yorkers. 33-year-old coach Dave Poalasky (wholwas born the year ex-coach Nat Hol-iman started coaching the cage sport!at City) has high hopes-far from,unfounded. The nucleus of the team!consists of four of last year's regularsand two starters from the CommerceCenter that -Polansky previouslyIcoached. One of the veterans may well|earn national recognition. This is cap-tain Jerry Domerschick. A junior, heaveraged 15 points a game last year

CONFERENCE IN THE CLOUDS

Among the undergraduates on any college campus, you'll findthe talk reaching up to the clouds. And once in a while-in a class-room, around a study table, or even in a bull session-a really bigidea is born.

Big ideas come, too, from the men and women in laboratories,business offices, shops. But often these professionals are exploringa path first glimpsed in college.

How do we know? Because of the many college people whohave come into the Bell System, where big ideas and a lot of dreamshave taken their place in prog ress. The human voice, carried alonga wire, first across a town, then a state, a nation, and now the world.Music and pictures and things happening delivered into cities andhamlets all across the land by radio and television networks.

We're always looking for the men and women who get bigideas-whether they're about people, or machines, or ways of doingthings. Your Placement Officer can give you details about oppor-tunities for employment in the Bell System.
