Seven Engines Roar to SpotAt 8:30 A.M. the Cambridge Fire

Department arrived with seven en-gines, the Cambridge Police Delpart-ment, and twenty-five fire-fighters.Aerial laddelrs awere sent up to thefifth floor, and the volunteers finallystopped the fire by casting the burn-ing books and wastebasket out of thewindow.

Besides damage done to the booksand walls, Hastbacka noticed that afull bottle of Canadian Club whiskeyhad vanished from his liquor cabinet;he said, "Probably one of the volun-teers took it". Brudno stated that hehad to persuade the firefighterls notto "hack down the walls" while put-ting out the fire.

There's a measure of doubt as tothe origin of the fire with regard topossible arson because neither of theoccupants smokes and the personnearest to the fire, Jim Yoder, whodoes not smoke, was sleeping when theblaze broke out. The fire is the thirdto occur in Burton House this year,and the second to break out in thesame wing of Burton.

not receive them. However, Dr. Stratton has made knownhis personal views, and they coincide substantially with

the outlook held by the presidents of Yale and Harvard.Here, then, is the Oath. Should students be required to

sign it? This is a subject for discussion, particularly forwe who are in the academic environment, and most familiarwith the effects of such a requirement. And it should notbe left in discussion; once our conclusions are formed, theopportunity for action presents itself. Write to your Con-gressman, who in the near future will have to vote "Yes"or "No" on the question. And don't let the cynic, who maylaugh at you for taking the time to write, and at The Techfor advocating that you do so, deter you from making yourfeelings known.

As for The Tech - we will continue to keep our col-umns open to those who care to express their views forpublication as well as for their Congressmen. We havebeen criticized for printing a letter which ridiculed thestand of one Tech freshman. However, those who submittheir views for publication must expect to find them sub-jected to criticism, both in form and in content. And inclosing let us add that brevity and conciseness, in additionto content, are among the important criteria for pickingthose letters which will appear.

In recent issues of The Tech, controversy has raged overthe Loyalty Oath which students accepting funds under

the National Defense Education Act are required to sign.We have received a number of letters, and have printedthree. In all of these, the authors have assumed that theiraudience was familiar with the form of the Loyalty Oath,and past discussion on it. Feeling that this may not beentirely true, we present the Oath in the column to theright, and the following brief summary of events that havebrought the Loyalty Oath into the limelight once again.

The National Defense Education Act passed by Con-gress in 1958 provides graduate fellowships, and aids in-stitutions in their loan programs for students. However,a "rider" attached to the bill requires the signing of theaforementioned oath by individuals receiving funds, asexplained above. A bill introduced by Senator John Ken-nedy at this time last year, which would have repealed therider, was defeated by a narrow margin. Again, this year,a motion to remove the Loyalty Oath from the NDEA isbefore Congress, and the fact that it will soon get atten-

tion precipitates the current interest. The administrationsof Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Wellesley, among othercolleges and universities, have specifically repudiated thefunds. MIT has not taken an official stand, since we do

us, visit us, or see one of our school visitors or an Educa-tional Council member. Each of these has an opportunityto consider MIT as a possible place for his education, andit is from these that the entering class of 900 is drawn. Ourproblem of information and guidance involves not only thislarge number, but their parents, teachers, advisers, relatives,and friends. Since it is out of the question for so great arange of contacts to be carried on by a small staff in theAdmissions Office, we broaden out our area of communica-tion with the educational public in four ways:

First, there is the program of Institute publications." Second is the programn of visiting schools, which has beengreatly augmented in the last few years. Each year, some 35members of the Faculty and Administration spend a weekor more visiting secondary schools in all parts ,the UnitedStates. This involves a great deal of preliminary corres-pondence and scheduling, since no school is visited withoutan invitation from the principal and an actual appointmentmade in advance. The school visitors are predominantlyyounger members of the teaching Faculty, but include alsomembers of the Admissions Office staff as well as otheradministrative officers. As one result of this program, wenow have on our Faculty a group of nearly 200 youngermen who have had some direct contact with high schoolsand their problems.

Our third device for broadening our contact is the annu-al Guidance Conference. We hold annually here in Cam-bridge each fall, a conference on educational guidance towhich we invite about 100 carefully selected guidancecounselors from high and preparatory schools all over theUnited States.

Partly because these visitors have so many interests incommon, and partly because they see each other so seldom,they find these conferences of great help and interest, andgo away full of enthusiasm. There seems to be no substi-tute for getting people actually here and into the MITatmosphere for a couple of days in order to convey to themwhat the Institute is really trying to do. One feature of theprogram is to have MIT undergraduates from each of thesecondary schools act as hosts at lunch for the counselorsfrom their respective schools. In this way, the importantobjective is met of having the school representative get afirst-hand impression of how his students are getting alongwithout the information going through any MIT inter-mediary.

The fourth and most important of the major agenciesinvolved in broadening the admissions process is the Edu-cational Council. This body of over 700 Alumni, many ofthem very experienced and all enthusiastic and loyal, hasmade a contribution of incalculable value to MIT and tothe broad problem of educational guidance in the UnitedStates. There is no substitute for an informed group at thegrass roots who are always available locally and in contactwith the individual schools. The 1,200 high schools whichare in direct touch, each with a member of the Councilspecifically assigned to it, have had good reason to appre-ciate the splendid work carried on by these men.

The Educational Council has, to a considerable extent,set a standard and an example for similar efforts in otherinstitutions. Its chief merit lies in its genuine educationalapproach, in contrast to the kind of shortsighted recruitingefforts which have so often aroused hostility in the highschools. While we are very anxious that a candidate shouldhave a complete knowledge of MIT, so far as this is pos-sible, so that he can make an intelligent selection, we feelthat a candidate who comes here solely because of heavyselling pressure is seldom a good risk. We want him tomake his own decision with full knowledge of the alterna-tives open to him.

Today's Faculty Forumn is written byB. Alden Thresher Director of Ad-missioms. Before turning his attentionl/o admissions w'ork, he u'as an MITProfessor of Economics. He is pres-

e,/tly Chah'rm7all of the College En-/rance Exami.naion Board.

Today, college admission is a complex operation withmany facets. It is a multilateral activity involving not onlythe institution and candidates for admission, but parents,teachers, high school counselIng and guidance personnel,testing and examining bodies of various kinds, and a broadfringe of interested friends and relatives. Admission, fur-thermore, is no longer a bilateral operation between theinstitution and the student. It takes place, rather, in a com-plex social environment ir which the student looks at manypossible institutions of higher education and makes somekind of a tentative selection among them, while each insti-tution in turn looks at a great many potential students, andif it is fortunate enough to attract many, can exercise somedegree of selectivity.

The admissions operation at MIT is a part of this com-plex process and cannot be thought of realistically in isola-tion from it. Students who applied for admission to MITlast year applied on the average to 3.6 institutions, were ac-cepted by 3.2, and entered one. To those to whom weoffer admission in a typical year, some 125 other collegeswill also have offered admission, and there wilI be some-thing over 200 other institutions to which one or more ofthese young people -,vill have at least made application.We are thus enmeshed in a network of comparisons, choices,and decisions, involving hundreds of institutions andthousands of candidates for admission.

One consequence of this situation is that the process ofselecting an entering class, while important, represents avery minor fraction of the total time, effort, and funds ex-penided in the admissions process. The overwhelminglylarge proportion of our work goes to educational guidancein the broadest sense, in:cluding contact with secondaryschools, teachers and counselors, prospective students andtheir parents, relatives and friends. Our mission includesthe provision of information on a broad scale, not onlyabout MIT, but about other institutions, and about themanifold opportunities awaiting those whose education isin some way oriented toward science.

MIIT's StereotypeEvery institution has the problem of combating over-

simplified or outdated stereotypes which continue to mis-represent its true nature to the public. We have perhapsan unusually difficult problem in this regard at MIT be-cause IMIT has undergone such a radical and rapid evolutionin the last 30 years. People know; a lot about MIT andmost of it isn't so.

Thus our total educational mission is not confined to theteaching done within our own walls, but includes an ob-ligation to con'ey to a wide segment of the general publicsome broad appreciation of the values inherent in highereducation oriented around science. More important thanthe duty of excluding less qualified applicants is the func-tion of attracting -well-qualified ones. This, in turn, cannottake place unless a wide range of youngsters acquire rea-sonably realistic ideas about scientific education. The boywho comes here for the wrong reason, or because of a mis-taken idea of what he is getting into, is seldom a good risk.

Broadening the "Interface of Contact"The admissions process at MIT is thus an operation of

broad scope in the areas of educational guidance and publicrelations. We are in some kind of contact with somethinglike 20,000 potential freshmen a year who either write to

letters: MIT's ArchitectureDear Sir:

Your editorial (May 3), "Expanding MIT," with its comment on theiarchitecture of the Institute, voices a grave but common fallacy in that it seeli-compatibility over architectural history by freezing design at some point, A-number of universities have been guilty of this fallacy. It seriously crippled foria number of years the natural growth of Harvard's architecture which offered a;marvelous picture of the past in American design over hundreds of years and-fortunately has been freed for this development again by recent decisions there-At another very well-known Ivy institution a policy such as the one you have voiced has essentially resulted in a group of bad buildings in recent years whiktcould be traced directly to the policy.

If you look at all the great historical cities that we find most interesting to-visit, you will realize that part of their excitement lies in the fact that they displayithe range of human architectural thinking throughout their history. An occa. isional village which time has passed by may, like Shirley Center, retain a beau.-tiful uniformity. A place like Carcassonne in France which has been given acertain amount of synthetic protection, and which also has a living village atits foot. may become a museum of architecture of a particular period.

But universities are not museums. The glory of Oxford and of Cambridge-is that they do show every one who goes there the architectural mark of nianyegenerations of ancestors.

I can think of no exceptions, either on a university campus or in a greatlcity, to the premise I have laid down here.

Adopting a policy of contemporaneity of course means that sometimes build.ings will seem incompatible with each other and almost certainly guarantees that!at a given period in time some of the earlier buildings and some of the mostirecent ones will be disliked by parts of the community, but tastes change and!time and again we have seen a shift in which buildings are most valued. Thelrisk of having some buildings at any one moment that do not seem attractive, Ar=even one or two that will never seem attractive because they were symbols of altime which had not figured out its destiny, is much overweighed, it seems togime, by the liveliness and the steadily contemporary integrity of a campus. ThusrI think it was a marvelous stroke of policy initiated in 1938 when Anderson and'Beckwith built the swimming pool here, which is still one of our notable build-1ings, and when this was followed consistently by Presidents Killian and Stratton'in using first-class contemporary people. This has resulted in a situation inkwhich, as you may or may not realize, MIT is widely known outside its 0~nKboundaries for the brilliance of a number of its buildings. Aalto's dormitor,Baker House, which was first praised and then went through a period of criti.-cism, is now again being widely praised and many critics are now saying itis[one of the best of all his buildings. The Saarinen Auditorium and Chapel and_the Cage and a whole series of other buildings I could name add to this. a

We should be proud of this, and not discontent with it, and perhaps Ourt

only regret ought to be that somehow we never managed to have a building by!Frank Lloyd Wright. E1

There is a point, however, hidden in your comment which is valid. Greatsarchitects must somehow manage not to do their great art in isolation. It is not~enough for an architect to build a great thing among other buildings withlcomplete disregard for the other buildings. This is a problem which troublesour best modern architects very much but we have got to trust in their abilitiesand sensitivities and the answer is certainly not either (a) to try to freeze themin a mold in which they cannot and will not design, or (b) to accept the talentsof ordinary people who are perhaps more willing to conform to some pre.determined theory. Over history, the best architecture has been consistently areflection of the primary attitudes of the people for whom it was built and it hasfailed when it has not been such a reflection. A primary characteristic of MITis that it is not afraid of change, and indeed interested always in accommod0&tion to it and even in promotion of it. To have an institutional architecture whichdenied this attitude would be completely false.

Little Gustave watched with amaze-ment, as the older boys and girls ofSunday School majestially intoned"Jesus loves me". All of a sudden hefelt a strange demon take hold of hisbody and soon Gustave, four years old,was dancing gaily at the sound of thesevere hymn. He was carried out.

Today Gustave Martinez Solomons,Jr., born in Boston in 1938, and betterknown as Gus, recalls this incidentwith great laughter. 'It was my firstcontact with dance. I haven't stoppedyet." Indeed, he hasn't! At MITalone he has participated in five TechShows, two United Nations danceshows, and Dramashop's "The Al-chemniist", 'Eld Game" and "Othello".Ior Gus this is not a college game,a trend that will pass with his gradu-ation: it is a serious matter for hehas already decided that dancing willbe his career. "My life", he says, re-proachingly.

There is a sort of fascination inhis manner, an easiness of movementsthat makes you believe you too mightfly one day. It is an elegance of ges-tures, a poise that only a born-dancerhas. But Gus is not limited in histalents, although dancing is the onlyone he takes seriously enough to giveup a career in architecture. He is awonderful comedian and his recentsuccess in "Othello" makes him a tra-gedian as well "I felt great doing it.It was the first serious thing I everdidl at MIT. It's a ~reater challengeto make an audience cry than to makethem laugh. If you stumble right, onstage, you might make them laugh.But you have to know what you arereally doing, before you can makethem cry".

It is probably the same theory thatprompted hinm into having his ownRepertory Theatre, at fourteen. Thecompany was composed of his youngerbrother and two little girls from theneighborhood, and the. performanceswere held in the cellar. Not satisfiedwith such an enterprise, Gus had hisown puppet show called "Pink PoodlePlayers". Of course, he wrote all hismaterial.

As a Junior at MIT he decided hereally wanted to be a dancer. Thiswvasn't a lightly made choice as Gushad been studying for a year at theBoston Conservatory of Music withJan Veen, a modern dance instructorl.At this point Gus stopped talkingabout himself to explain the differencebetween "Modern dance and Jazz. Itis the same difference that exists be-tweenStravinskyand Brubeck. Modern.is serious because of the intent while.

As finals approach and one begins to dream of goingback home to the security of meals served at regulartimes, the newspapers start announcing the various fes-tivals and summer theatres around Boston; this has thebad effect of making one regret regular meals.

All joking aside, very soon the Boston Arts Festivalwill open on the Boston Public Garden. It will begin onrLune 3rd, and already at full speed

ith the production of young Jackichardson's "The Prodigal", to be

resented by the Charles Playhousec0mpany.Those who had the pleasure of beingn Boston during last year's festival11 remember the controversy createdy the Art exhibition, and the exposi-

ion of rejected canvases at the oldhurch on Charles Street. This yearhe art competition is open to anyrtist in the United States and fiveaard-winning architectural projectsill be displayed in a geodesic dome.The Performance Program promises

to be fascinating and will includeGus Solornons, Jr., star of Tech Show and recentTech while one of The Tech's secretarys looks on.

Jazz is a freer style, usually associ-ated with musical comedy. It is asort of satirical dancing".

At the Consei'vatory Gus studiedBallet under MIrs. Ruth Ambrose, andJazz under Bob Gilman; this Sear heis studying nModern undel Rob Cohaon.Aside froml the Consev-atory classeshlie attendedl acting lessons unlder AllanLevitt, at the "Actors \AVolkhshol'".

The future, for Gus, belongs to coln-cert dancing and that is whlat hewants to do; he \will start with acomnpany and holpes, one day, to halvehis own one.

Because he has been associated withso mallny- artistic activities at MI!TGus felt all undlelrstandable desire toexpress his oplinions. "Dramlasho opcouldn't be better. As for Tech Sho\w,it needs organization. On the otherhand there isn't enough spirit amonglstudlents and it's almnost inmpossible toobtain a male chorus. J think thiscould be talken care of by tlying touse an all-male cast as befoire; itseems that people think of it as a pro-fessional show, most probably hbecauseof the girls in it, who have more timeto give to rehearsalls and usually haveimore experience. Tech Show shouldlbe more of an MIT community pro-ject."

Although the subject of Tech Showis an interesting one, Gus was her eto talk about himself, so eve orientedlhis thoughts toswarlds his career andthe way his choice had been receivedl

by his parenlts. Being a reasonableman MI. Solomonos Sr. is perfectlysatisfied with Gus's inclinations; butknowiing the way youth thinks andacts he has also wvisely inlnposed thecondition that Gus graduate fromlMIIT, "ju.st inl case", a colndition Gusis nmore than glad to put up with.

Back to Tech Show and ilDramlasholpafter fiv-e minlutes of consversation,Gus sayIs that both organizations neednmore faculty supporlt; an(! by this hemeans that Dean Fassett shouldln't bethe onl- one to attend the shows."I think that there are professor'swives -w\-ho could be in Tech Showthemselves!

Orchestra Gives Spring ConcertLast Saturday evening, the MIT Syn:phony Orchestra, conducted by John

Corley, presented its annual Spring concert in Kresge Auditorium. The pro-gran consisted of Tolrelli's Sinfonit can trombe. Brahm's Dozuble Corcerto forl'ioin, Cello and Orchestra, and Tschiakowsky's Fourth SJ}1ymphony.

The Sinfonia is a lively piece for string orchestra composed of four move-iaents. It was written in the late seventeenth century, and the style is typicalof that era. Mr. James Ruttenberg performed very ably. His tone intonationIremained very clear even though most of the piece is written in the upperrange of the trumpet. Though perhaps using more tone color than the com-poser intended, the orchestra executed the accompaniment very well.

The double concerto, in three movements, is undoubtedly fronom the handof Brahms. Although a few of the very intricate passages appeared trouble-some, the orchestra blended very well with the soloists in the performance.The soloists displayed their parts effectively, alternating solos and duetsagainst the orchestral background.

The Fourth SymphZ1oy of Tschiakowsky was the featured wolrk of theevening. The introductory motive of this work forms the nucleus for the wholepiece. Although the composer intentionally uses heavy brass quite a bit, at

testants, it was not awarded.The "Boit Prize for Essay" is open

to all undergraduates, and offers cashprizes to the three best entries inthat particular category. This year'swinners were Peter T. Crichton, with"A comparison of David Hume andC. S. Lewis on the subject of miracles;Carl Wunsch, a sophomore, with "Thecauses of the Spanish-American War:A study of the historical approaches";and J. W. Green, with "A study ofthree poems of Dylan Thomas". Allthree entries were written, at first,as term papers or themes for Humani-ties courses. Mr. Crichton decided toenter his theme in the contest afterit obtained good results in 21-03.Pleasantly surprised by the news ofhis victory, he explained that he'llspend the cash award during IFCweekend. About his theme, Mr. Crich-ton outlined a few ideas: Hume re-fuses the idea of miracles on thegrounds of probability, while Lewisaccepts them on the weight of phi-losophical arguments.

Mr. Wunsch wrote his winning en-try as a term-paper for 21-41, "His-toly & the Historians". It is a studyof the Spanish-American War, mostlyconcerned with the way its Historywas witten, rather than what thefacts were. Mr. Wunsch added thathe thought the "Boit Prize" to be agood idea but believed that instruc-tors could do more about publicizingit.

The "Boit Prize for Creative Writ-

ing" is concerned with the use of theEnglish language and has the samecash awards as the prize for essays.Because of its wider range of literaryformat it usually receives more atten-tion from the students.

This year two of the three winnersare Architecture majors. The firstprize went to Richard Dattner, witha short story entitled "Connections",which was published in the last issueof "Tangent". MIr. Dattner was bornin Poland, lived in Italy for one year,in Cuba for five years. He wrote hisfirst poem when he was nine years old,and remembers with a smile that "itwas all about a bird on a tree". Hebelieves that "writing is a piece of acomplete world picture. Putting stor-ies together is identical to puttingbuildings together: they require thesame organization". "But", he adds,"I'm an architect!" Asked about hiscreative process Mr. Dattner explainedthat designing a building is to startwith the information gathering, untilit speaks to the architect; then ihewill try to sense the direction impliedby the various parts, in an attempt toorganize the whole, to integrate everypart of the building into the finalstate. "Hopefully", he concluded,"the work of art finally speaks withone voice, with evelry piece image sub-ordinated to the main voice".

The third prize was given to AlexeiVergun, author of "The Portrait".Mr. Vergun is well known to MIT

students, as well as Mr. Dattner,ftheir constant contributions to literary magazine. Mr. Vergun born in 1938 in Belgrade, YugoslaviHe came to the United States in 104¢after having lived in his own courtas well as Austria and Germany. the United States he wandered fryNew York to Michigan, Texas, SaFrancisco, Connecticut and finaDMassachusetts. He justifies his choiaof a career by explaining that inachitecture there is a synthesis ofa the disciplines that interest him, athetic as well as technical. He blieves the Bolt Prize is a good thibecause it gives encouragement Lthose who need it. However, Mr. Vagun deplores the little publicity it.-given. Asked about the possibilitycpublishing some of his work he didclared that he doesn't feel he hamatured enough, yet, to show bwork to a publisher. On the oth hand he was asked by the publisherdean anthology of contemporary Amescan poets to contribute to it. TEbook will soon be published by thiUniversity of Guadalajara Press,ug.der the title "Score 1960". MIr. 'ehgun also designed its cover.

To conclude the interview Mr. Ve=gun said that "at MIT, the educitional institution, as such, tends suppress imaginative work" and tAthis is "basically incompatible vit{growing intellects and the awar_ness and love of life"

Community Players Play AnouilhAfter only four weeks of rehearsal, instead of the usual eight, the MIIT

Community Players will be opening their production of "The Waltz of theToreadors" by Jean Anouilh. It will be the third production of that groupthis year, a group that began in the early 30's with productions of original mu-sical comedies on topical Institute themes. Around 1945 they began to presentmore serious worklcs such as "Arms and the Man" and "The Little Foxes", butthese had to be put on in classrooms, dining-i ooms or any other space availableat MIT.

"The Magical History of Dr. Faustus" was presented for the first time bythis group, and you may recall that it was quite a successful production. JohnGilland directed it, between finishing research in Building 10, and teachingacting at the "Actors Workshop" as well as the Boston Center for AdultEduention

Your capsule is flashingma light, sending out radio signals, and spreading dye on the surfactof the water. 3. A bomb has been released from your capsule, harexploded far underwater, and further belied your presence to yOURsonar-equipped searchers. Happy now? But what if somethingleaking, you say.
