He developed -a new style threedecades ago, in complete revoltagainst the Nlaturalist school. Theprinciples of his work were set forthin a Manifesto in 1920. These are:"1 (1) To communicate the realitiesof life, art should ,be based on thetwo fundamental elements, spaceand time. (2) Volume is not theonly spatial concept. (3) Kineticand dynamic elements must ibe usedto express the real nature of time;static rhythms are not sufficient.(4) Art should stop being imitative

and try instead to discover newform."

Naum Gauio was born in Briansk,Central Russia, in 1890. He wasgraduated from the University ofMunich with a degree in Civil Engi-neering after he switched from acourse in medicine. Until the FirstWorld War, he lived in an artisticcircle in Paris. With this trainingin art and his education in engi-neering, he became an architectand sculptor, in his native land.However, Constructivism wasattacked by the Commrunists asbeing removed from Marxist reality.Ga,,bo travelled to Germany in 1922,France in 1929, and England in1934. Since 19~6 his residence hasbeen in Connecticut.

The National Student Associa-tion at the Institute has correctedseveral points in the story on theregional NSA conference which ap-peared in last Tuesday's The Tech.

Action citing suspension of In-stitute Professor Dirlk J. Struik as

a violation of academic freedom,reported as being taken by the con-ference, was in fact one of a num-ber of test cases of possible viola-tions brought to the attention ofthe conference by a subcommissionof the regional group dealing withthis problem, The conference as a

whole declined to judge Whetherany oi the cases was -a violation of

academic freedom on the basis ofinsufficient facts.

BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY NEXT MONDAY, THEREWILL BE NO CALENDAR OF EVENTS NEXT WEEK

THAT FOUR-DAY WEEKEND-A REALITYThis year we will be homeward bound on November 21.

The faculty is to be praised for acting quickly and decisively,and thereby making possible a Thanksgiving Vacation in 1951.While this year the two days have been given us with nostrings attached, except for the Freshman schedule, in futureyears they will have to be accounted for. If the faculty con-tinues to be as aware of the student's viewpoint on this issuein the future, as it has been in the past, a solution should beeasily resolved.

It is now up to the student to decide how he wants to makeup the two days. We still believe that the undergraduate willbenefit most if the Friday is accounted for in Tech Weekendat the beginning of the Fall Term.

Starting next Friday THE TECH will present the out-standing student suggestions for your consideration. We wouldlike to print YOUR ideas in our columns;

SAFETY MEASURES AT ALUMNI POOL

With the recent accidental death of a student in theAlumni Swimimng Pool, attention has been focused on thesafety measures that the pool provides. There are certainsteps that should be taken as soon as possible to insure themaximum safety of swimmers. A life guard should be on thedeck at all times, preferably on a raised platform so that hecan see the bottom of the pool. He should also have no adminis-trative duties such as answering the telephone or making outreports. An adequate first aid kit should be on hand at theside of the pool at all times.

We hope that the report approved by the Athletic Boardlast Wednesday night included these and other provisions. TheExecutive Committee of the Corporation should endorse theserecommendations and therefore increase the security andsafety measures at the pool to the practical limit.

Interested in starting statistics?Here are the little known factsabout the Walker Memorial DiningServici that present us with someastounding figures.

Everything at Walker is neces-sarily done on a large scale, with5,500 people served each day, 80persons on the student staff and40 regular employees.

Besides serving meals to Techstudents and staff, Walker DiningService also maintains PritchettLounge, and provides a cateringservice for parties and luncheonsfor the benefits of both studentsand faculty.

Top ManagementMr. Frank Baldwin, Director of

Dining and Housing Facilities, isin charge of Walker, along withall the other dining services. ML1r.Albert Bridges is the Manager ofthe Walker Memorial Dihing Serv-ice. The purchasing of food for allunits is handled by Mir. Falcione.Under his supervision, food is sup-plied not only to Walker, but toBaker House, Burton House, theGrad House, and the women's dorm.

The Dining Service is run on anon-profit basis, yet is faced withthe problem of a tremendous over-head. Power, light, dishes and suchare not supplied by the school, (butare purchased by the service. Inaddition to this, there are thesalaries of the staff members, bothstudent and regular.

Walker Student StaffThe student staff, which was

organized by Mr. William Carlisle,Assistant Manager, plays an im-portant part in the efficient run-ning of Walker. Students are wellpaid for their time, receiving wagesof ninety cents per hour. In all,there are nine semi-autonomousstudent staffs, composed of about300 students. They are ran similarly

to the student government systemhere, with regular board meetingsconducted in the accepted par-liamentary manner. ,Many illus-trious members of the MALT.Alumni Association, Faculty andAdministration have served on theWalker Memorial Staf during theirundergraduate days; of this Walkeris extremely proud.

The outstanding features in theover-all picture of Walker are thehuge kitchen and the even hugerstorerooms. The kitchen, for all itssize, is kept immaculately clean.Under the supervision of Dr. Hall-wood, inspections of dishes, milkand cream, are held weekly. Inaddition to this, monthly inspec-tions are held, during which,Walker is fine-tooth-combed, evento the inspection of the handleson the knives.

Health Standards HighBacteriological tests are an abso-

lute necessity, ald Walker is usedas a showplace because of its finerecord. All dishes are given a pre-rinse before they are sent throughthe dishwaghing machine. Thismachine automatically keeps thewater at a scalding temperature of180 degrees and regulates theamount of detergent used. Glassesand silverware are cleaned in aseparate dishwasher. This is donein order to prevent any accumula-tion of grease. It is also an assetfor maintaining a better than aver-age health record.

One of the most amazing sectionsof the Dining Service is located inthe basement and is composed ofa number of large storerooms andrefrigerators.Mr. Robert Radocchia,Head Steward, took us on a tourof this area. Among the thkigswhich he pointed out were thepotato processing oom, housingsteamers and a potato peeling

display showing the nflammlbilityof various substances, particularlymotion picture film, and the needfor proper protection of these sub-stances. The proper procedure forgiving a fire alarm and fighting thefire until help arrives is also demon-strated. A smoke detection systemcan be operated by the public.

Room 7-106 contains a trafic dis.play. The highlight here is thechance to test one's emergency re-actions, as well as driving ability.

Briefly, the main purposes of theexhibit are: 1) To promote the prac-tice of safety both here at ,the In-stitute and in the daily lives ofall members of the MX.T. family;2) To acquaint the MI.T. familywith the Institute's program foroccupational health and safety; 3)To demonstrate some of the serv-ices and equipment designed forhealth and safety which are avail-able here at the Institute; 4) Toencourage the use of properly pro-tected equipment.

Editor, The TechDear Sir:

- I enjoyed reading your very interesting article in the No-vember 2 number concerning General Biology, 7.01, and thenew instructor assigned to this course. In need of correction,however, is the statement, "At present the lectures are givenon a rotational basis with several members of the departmentparticipating until a final plan for the course is completed (boldmine) ." Far from being a temporary expedient as indicated here,the participation of all members cf the Biology Faculty in 7.01is a final plan evolved over a period of ten years to give thestudent a chance to "meet the experts" and obtain the mostup-to-date information on a highly coordinated series of topicsin modern biology. At the same time, the course is integratedand correlated by a single professor who is in charge of lectures,discussion periods, and laboratories. As a result, this course hasachieved a reputation as one of the leading General Biologycourses in the country. Although your article states that oneperson will in the future "assume most of the 7.01 lectures,"I am unaware of any plan to modify the course in this way.

1;$me a little friendly advice ...Don't forget the Angostura*l5"

Dear Sir:It was announced tonight that the Friday and Saturday

following Thanksgiving are to be student holidays. For thefirst time in my three years at MT, Thanksgiving is recognized,mechanically, as being more special than Patriot's Day, Colum-bus Day, or any of the other one-day holidays. This is the wayit should be.

Insofar as I can speak for the student body, I would liketo thank the faculty and the. administration for making thispossible. Since it is essential that in-future years the classeslost over this weekend be made up, I feel certain that theInstitute Committee will endeavor to suggest a possible methodFurthermore, I wish to express my congratulations to The Techfor recognizing a need, expressing it, and helping canr itthrough to a very satisfactory solution.

capacity with a minimum amountof materials and expense. Also thisdesign was decided upon becausea need for a more romantic type ofbuilding' in contrast to the rect-angular type was felt. Still anotherreason was that the usual steelcolumns could be eliminated.

Location

The auditorium will be located onthe west side of the campus in adirect line from the Rogers Build-ing steps, between the tennis courtsand the parking lot. It will not takeany space away from the playingfield.

This location is the best possiblein terms of quietness, being off thestreet audiences may alight fromcars without difficulty, and a circu-lar flow of traffic will be facilitated.

The upper level will contain astage at the west end with an. organthat will disappear from view whennot in use. The seats will rise upto a height of nine feet. There willbe no balcony. The east end willconsist of box offices, ibunges, etc.This part of the main structure willbe limited to activities of an educa-tional nature.

Overhead TracksDownstairs at the lower level, the

stage has a ringer-like characterwith facilities for , experimentaldrama groups. There will be nostage house to provide changes inscenery because' of the excessivecost, instead it will be done by over-head tracks. At the Tear of thestage there will be a ramp downwhich a car may back almost tothe stage itself.

This year the policyhas paid dividends with an unde-feated team.

Tech, led by Bill Nicholson andCaptain Chuck Vickers, was wellon its way toward its best seasonin six years last Saturday whenthe Beavers were upset by theUniversity of Massachusetts at Am-herst. Oscar Hedlund's runners willbe orn the rebound on Monday, and,aided by their familiarity with theFrankllin Park course, the localharriers stand a good chance ofcopping the title.

Nicholson Strong ChallengerAlthough Nicholson, who finished

5th in the 1950 championships, willbe in the running with Kelley forthe individual crown, the Engi-neers, like Providence, have a well

trouble on eligibility, losing

balanced squad. Vickers and Sopho-more John Farquhar have beenrunning with Nicholson most of

the way, while Jerry Tlemann,

Clyde Baker, and John Avery arefairly close to the first three. Wil-

liamns, who missed the opening meet

of the season, will be the seventhTech entry.

Four teams, Maine, Rhode Island

State, Univ. of Mass., and Vermontare possible dark horses. Mass. State

will be handicapped by the ineli-

gihility of freshman star Burt Lan-caster, as will Rhode Island, which

has been running three freshmen.

Vermont and Maine placed second

and third last year, Each of the

four teams has a candidate forwinner's mantle, Harry Aldrich of

Mass. State, Ray Lister of .Rhode

Island State, second last year;

Cliff Hunter of Vermont, and Dick

Dow of Maine, 6th last November.Also in the individual ranning

will be Walt Molineaux of Brown,

Dave Boivin and Charlie Grimm

of Connecticut, and Ed Shea of

Northeastern, who has the fastest

time for the Franklin Park courseso far this year with a 21:43 re-

corded two weeks ago.

The freshman race wvill be ex-

tremely unpredictable this year as

the Yankee Conference champion-

ships will be run as part of thevarsity race with freshmen eligible

for this meet, so that they will run

in the varsity race although notscoring for their teams in the New

England Meet. With such stand-

outs as Lancaster and Rhode Is-

land State's John Anton out of the

running, Bill Smith of B. U. ranks

as favorite. Two of the teamswhich topped the Tech yearlingsthis year, Tufts and Univ. of Mass.,will be among the leading con-tenders.

Starting time for the freshmanrace will be 1:45 p.m., with the var-sity race scheduled to get underway at 2:15 p.m.

Technology's soccer team went

down to its sixth straight defeat

at the hands of a strong Univer-

of 2-0 last Saturday.

This was the Beavers' sixth loss

after their early season victory over

Boston University. The game was

played on a very muddy and rainy

£3riggs Field which hampered the

Engineers' footwork and favored

Conn's passing attack.

Connecticut drew first blood in

the first period and scored once

again in the fourth to wrap up

the victory. Raui Bachmlan playea

a good game for Tech at fullback,

stopping many attacks that might

have resulted in goals. BearverRicardo Haegler was the offensive

U. S. Frequency Standard

Station W1MX was founded in1909, and hence is the oldest collegeamateur radio station in the coun-try. For five years beginning in1922, it was the frequency standardfor the United States. It was thethird station to cross the AtlanticOcean via short wave, and the firstto be heard as fat away as Hawaii.It has always been in operationduring emergencies, and recently,during such catastrophes as theJamaica hurricane and the KansasCity flood, it has received andtransmitted many messages ofgreat importance to the peopleconcerned. Over 100 foreign coun-tries have been contacted since itbegan operations.

This message service is the latestdevelopment within the station. itis hoped that the service will bewell-used. While Station W1MXcannot guarantee that messageswill be received, they do guaranteethat they will be transmitted. Aservice such as this is unique amongstudent activities at the Institute,and should be of great benefit toall.

At this meeting, it sas decidedto purchase ultra-violet lamps foruse in decorations for social func-tions.

The purchase of a multilithduplicating machine was indefi-nitely delayed following the presen-tation of .a special committee reportrecommending this action.

Early in the second week of November, 1881, the pressesof Alfred Mudge & Sons, Printers, were busy with a newpublication. On Wednesday of the following week the firstissue of THE TECH made its appearance.

During the month preceding the publication date, a groupof students had held conferences and completed last-minutedetails previous to launching this new venture. They were wellaware that others before them had the same idea, hadtried and failed. On February 22, 1873, twelve years after theInstitute was founded, THE SPECTRUM made its appearance.This was the first attempt at a student publication. THESPECTRUMi had a short lifetime, the last issue appearing on

Freshman, curbing the Sophomore, cor-recting the Junior and supporting theSenior in his old age. It will open as

avenue for the expression of publicopinion and will aim, in every possibleway, to help all in the development oftheir young manhood and womanhood.It is hoped too that it will keep the in-

But evenif genius does not bloom; even if thebeauties of rhetoric and poetry are notdeveloped here; even if this paper be-comes, like what it represents, only afield for plain, honest work, we shallnevertheless be sure that the efforts wemake are stepping stones to fuller at-tainment helping us all to the higherand nobler uses of our lives."The driving force behind the

group that published Volume Onewas H. Ward Leonard, '83. Much ofthe groundwork preceding the inl-tial issue was prepared by Leonardand he organized the first meetingof interested students. He did verylittle writing but was responsiblechiefly for the advertising whichmade the issues financially possible.After graduation Leonard becameinterested in ,the then new electricalequipment industry. Several yearslater he formed the Ward LeonardElectric Company which bears hisname today.

There were fifteen men on thefirst Managing Board, includingArthur D. Little, founder of the well-known firm of consulting engineers.Of these men, only one, Horace B.Gale, '83, is living today.

Memorial DriveParking Meters

Go For GoodAll parking meters along Memo-

were permanently removed a few

days ago by the Metropolitan Dis-

trict Commission because they had

proved Ito be both "unprofitable and

impractical," in the words of an of-

ficer representing the Commission.Last year the meters were placed

along Memorial Drive in front ofche Institute to discourage all-dayparking on the narrow drive. Buatwhey have been ineffective in con-0roiling parking there because'most students wouldn't pay" and·'it takes about a week to check upon out-of-state cars." 'You M/.T.iellows would park in the middle ofGhe street if you weren't afraid ofgetting hurt," the officer added.

MDh Requests

The Metropolitan District Com-mission requests those desiring topaxk all day or during the eveningnours, 4:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. to parkon the river side of Memorial Drive.If all-day parking is continued to agreat extent on the building side ot6he drive, it may result in "no park-rng" signs, the Commission threat-ened.
