has already been moved to the In-stitute's famous dome, site of theold central library; here the Navalcollection will be consolidated withevery other engineering library ex-cepting that of Aeronautical En-gineering.

Science Units MovedThe school of science will also

find its libraries consolidated. TheLindgren Metallurgical Library, thefamous George Eastman ChemicalLibrary, and the libraries of Biologyand Food Technology will all beforged into a single unit to be lo-cated on the site of the presentDewey Library.

Plans call for the relocation andexpansion of' the Dewey Library;the library will become an integralpart of the new School of Indus-trial Management, finding newquarters in the Sloan Building.

The only libraries unaffected arethe Central Library, the Aeronauti-cal Engineering Library, the Ar-thur Rotch Architectural Library,and the Humanities' Libraries, Eng-lish and History, and Music. Thecommittee felt that because of thehigh specialization and limitedattraction oI the Course XVI unitthat it would best remain in itspresent location. Rotch library, thecommittee declared, is properlylocated now, where it is centrallylocated within the limits of theSchool of Architecture.

By FRANK SARNOA lack of sufficient lighting in

the halls of the main buildings andan attempt to relieve the monotonyof the present color scheme in thehalls have both helped hasten thepainting of Institute corridors.

Work so far has progressedthrough Bldgs. 3 and 5. The re-mainder of the main buildings aredue to be completed by Spring.

Increased demands on availablepower prevent more wattage frombeing used for lighting, with theresult that a more effective usemust be made of the light avail-able. To do this, high reflectingpaint will be used and fluorescentlighting will replace the older in-candescents. As much surface ofthe ceilings and walls are beingpainted white as is practical, whichin effect will relieve the impressionof narrowness that one now getswhen walking through the halls.

Color monotony will be avoidedby employing six or seven hues. Thecolor scheme will be used alongwith the number system to locatethe various halls.

Walker Staff now holds the M.I.T.bowling championship as a result ofits lopsided win by 105 ,pins overTheta Xi last Wednesday night.Paced by Vic ,Macres' 298 points,the winners approached the schoolrecord of 1368 pins set earlier inthe season ~by Teta Xi.

Ln an earlier meeting during thefinals, Walker had beaten Theta Xiby three.pins, 1309-1306, but laterlost to Kappa Sigma and so thefirst-place tie resulted. ATO andKappa Sig each won two of fourmatches, while Theta Chi finishedwithout a ,playoff victory. Each ofthe five teans had won their divi-sion honors in the regular season.

Bob Gavdella of Theta Xi com-piled a 93.3 average in the playoffsto lead Macrs -and tearmate CliffSayre for the scoring ,honors.

Grouping by Schools Planned-Major Change in Hayden Set

A Faculty Committee, with the specific approval of PresidentKillian, has just approved drastic and sweeping changes inthe whole structure of the M.I.T. library system.

The changes, announced by Libraries Director Vernon D.Tate will affect virtually every department in the Institute andwill take months to effect.

Basic principle behind the revisions is the consolidation oflibrary facilities by schools. The library of Naval Architecture

RenselerProfessorDeveops ew IdeaI1n Aircraft Design

Troy, N. Y., March 4-The disas-trous stalling of fast aircraft, thehigh-speed failure and inefficiencyof many heat-power machinessuch as steam and gas turbines, jetengines, compressors and guidedmissiles may be avoided in futuredesigns through use of a revolu-tionary idea developed by Profes-sor Nell P. Bailey, head of mechani-al engineering at Rensselaer Poly-

technic Institute, Troy.Bailey's method permits the de-

signer more accurately to predictwhat will happen within a speedingmachine. The use of air, gas, steamand water at ever higher tempera-tures and greater speeds has shownthe theories of classical thermo-dynamics falling far short of pre-dicting what actually happens in aheat-power machine at high speed.As a result of these "horse-and-buggy" age. theories, designers, inplanning new machines, have beenforced into trial and error methodsin eliminating "bugs" that unex-pectedly appear in tests.

Now at Toll GateRefusing to accept the steadily

growing difference between test re-suits and theoretical prediction as'experimental and instrument er-

rors," Bailey found too much en-ergy credited to a pound of air, gas,or steam flowing through variousprocesses. In his experimental workBailey found it unprofitable to pur-sue one pound Of substance throughthe equipment like a 'policemanchasing a suspected car, as hasbeen the procedure in the past. In-stead, he seated himself at a "tollgate" and watched energy roll by.

covery lies in giving the designer(Continued on Page 4)

The College PrsBy SHEL DICK

A Free Press:Opinion of a free press, says the

Wellesley College News, is deter-mined by its reception in the think-ing of its audience. The mostdangerous curtailmaent of that freepress, the News points out, lies inthe frame of mind of its readers.The author of the article feels thatreaders who subscribe to reitera-tions of their own views, and whoesteem praise of their own dogmasexert detrimental pressure onnewspapers, especially in communi-ties where only one newspaper cir-culates. Motivation for this actionlies in indignation of criticism and"the probing of shaky convictions."Newspaper opinions therefore touchsensitive and susceptible regionswhich the writer, however, feelsare in need of careful review. Criti-cisnt and objective appraisal . . .are benefits of a free press."Fraternity defies National's ruling:

The Delta Upsilon Chapter atWesleyan University was suspendedfrom the National fraternity afterignoring and overriding a Nationalruling concerning prospective can-didates. Despite the threatenedouster, the chapter initiated, alongwith six other pledges, a Negrohonor student. In the words ofthe chapter president, the housewas going "to initiate on the basisof character and personality alone."

By KEVIN G. WOELFLEINDuring the Fall of 1951 an inter-

ested group of advanced Air ForceROTC cadets conceived the idea ofaffiliating themselves with an airsociety. Application was made, andin February the charter of theM.I.T. Studernt Chapter of ArnoldAir Society was granted.

This organization, a group corre-sponding to the professional engi-neering societies, was foynded in1947 at the University of Cincinnati.At present there are approximately75 chapters in Air Force units atcolleges throughout the UnitedStates. The Societies fundamentalpurpose is to introduce men to thetactics and operations of the AirForce previous to their term ofservice. The founders feel thatsuch a preliminary acquaintanceis of vital importance to anyonewho has ambitions of making hisAir Fbrce life a successful one.

Tech lacrossemen have beenworking out for the past four weeksin the cage, under Coach Ben Mar-tin. At attack are Miller, highscoring threat of the past two sea-sons, Newcomer, Oliver, Trevett,Friedenthal and D'Olivera, all ofwhom have seen action in pastyears.

A host of experienced midfield-ers, led by Capt. Donovan, Jergerand Carson, should have an ex-cellent season. Haven, Fisher,Redlien and Krimball, have all im-proved tremendously. Up from lastyear's frosh are Coombs, Jackson,Turano, Mapes, Richards, Staffordand Moody.

Meuser, a starter last year atmidfield, has switched to defensealong with Piper. Rounding outthe squad are Springer, Anderson,Conlin, Miliotes, Karney and Bova.

Practice is continuing in the cagefrom four to six, three days a week,for both Varsity and Freshmen.

Many agree that rugby is rougherthan football, since there are notime outs, padding or substitutions.A team consists of 15 players, 8 for-wards and 7 backs. The game isplayed in two halfs, from 30 to 45minutes long, with a 5-minute restperiod between. The ball is ad-vanced by running, kicking or pass-ing it laterally. Only the playercarrying the ball may be tackledand when tackled he must releasethe ball, which is then put intoplay. Play stops only when the balgoes out of bounds, when a penaltyis called, or when someone scores.After the try (or score) a placekick Is taken at the goal.

Silvio Vitale of Revere, Mass.,M.I.T. Varsity fencing coach, hasbeen appointed to the FencingRules Committee by the NationalCollegiate Athletic Association(N.C.A.A.), it was announced bythat body.

The appointment honored Vitalefor his efforts in popularizing fenc-ing, particularly in the New Eng-land area, both in collegiate circlesand as coach of The Boston Fenc-ing Club.

takes an engineer with self-and we have engineering

WE LOOK FOR MEN interested inlthemselves because healthyself-esteem makes a man want to show what he can do. People whomerely want a job won't give us the fresh ideas that are the life's bloodof our industrial instrumentation business. It's the..mbitious, drivingengineers that are solving today's complex industrial process problemsthrough automatic controls and systems. Why don't YOU put your self-interest to work solving tomorrow's problems in this varied, challeng-ing, interesting field?
