Richard Brandes '57, Inscomm Repre-sentative; Sanford Nobel '58, DormconRepresentative; Richard Sherman '58,Athletic Chairman; and Stuart Pinsof'58, Social Chairman. (It should benoted that the various houses differin the number of positions which re-quire a vote of all residents ratherthan a vote of all House Committeemembers.)

Both East Campus and BurtonHouse Committees held meetings lateWednesday night to fill out their re-spective slates. Among those electedwere the following:

In East Campus-Stanley Fenster'58, Secretary; William Levison '58,Treasurer; Allen Clark '57, and PeterLenn '57, Dormcon Representatives;Alexander Bernhard '57, JudicialChairman; Robert Hecht '58 and Wil-liam Levison '58, Social Chairman;Robert Glosser '59, Lounge Chairman;and Paul Rothschild '58, ActionsChairman.

Although the dormitory electionshave now gone by the boards. the In-stitute scene remains crowded with ahost of Class elections coming up nextTuesday, March 6.

The Classes of '57, '58, and '59 willelect a President, Secretary-Treasurer,and Representative to Inscomm. TheClass of '56 will elect a PermanentPresident, a Secretary-Treasurer, andan Executive Committee.

In addition, Commuters will elect anInscomm Representative and a Com-muter Association President. Fratern-ity members will vote for an InscommRepresentative also.

For the nth time a resolution in-volving Ring Committees was pre-sented. This one, which was passed,called for the disbanding of RingCommittees for the classes of '58 and'59. The details for those classes' ringswill be worked out by class officers.Originally, the motion called for thequestions being presented to theclasses concerned in the form of areferendum, a point which gave riseto several objections. Oliver Johns '56saw no good reason for the referen-dum, preferring that the question re-main in the jurisdiction of Inscommas per precedent. George Luhrmann'56 was curious as to how the point,or points, of the referendum would beexplained to the "great unwashed",a phrase he quickly disowned. Shortlythereafter, the committee voted todelete that section of the motion per-taining to the referendum, by amend-ment. The amended motion was thenvoted upon and passed. During thediscussion it was made clear that thisdissolving of Ring Committees was,for now, a two-year experiment.

Early in the meeting Bill Layson'56 reported for the Parents WeekendCommittee. The dates have been setas May 5 and 6, and the event will belimited to parents of juniors and sen-iors owing to physical limitations ofspace and time.

Nominations for Judicial Committeewere accepted at the meeting.

Intramural TrophySystem Revamped

The Executive Committee of theMIT Athletic Association met fortheir first business meeting Wednes-day night. This was their first officialmeeting since the installation of newofficers. Approval of two intramuralsports reports led off the meeting.These reports were given by the man-agers, Al Richman '57 for basketballand Joe Hamlet '56 intramural foot-ball.

The present system of a Adardlihnintramural trophies was the nexttopic of discussion, and a new systemwas voted in which will discontinueall "traveling trophies" which arenow awarded. Instead, individualawards will be given each season tothe winner of each intramural sports.The present trophies will retire at thebeginning of their coming season;their possession will be with the grouphaving a majority of "legs" on thetrophy if one exists; if no team holdssuch a record the trophy will go tothe one holding the "best over allstanding."

Outgoing members of the executivecommittee of AA will be given ad-ministrative awards,. it was next de-cided. These awards consist of a gol-den key.

The next order of business dealtwith a change in the tieup betweenthe Executive Committee and itsworking branches of AA. Henceforthmonthly reports will be given by theTreasurer, equipment manager, andthe publicity manager to the Execu-tive Committee.

A change was also made in the let-ters given to managers. Formerly allmanagers, both of varsity sports andintramurals were awarded the sametype of monogram; with "MGR" ap-pearing on the "T". Now the letters"IM" will be embossed on the lettersgiven to managers of intramuralsports in addition to the previousidentifying letters.

To deemphasize the material values which in this caseact against the intellectual ones (although in the long runthe intellectual values which lead to the best educationprove to be the best material values as well the case beingone of sub-optimization), the marking system must beradically overhauled.

Elimination of the cumulative rating as it now exists,although retaining' the present letter grade system, seemsthe best course of action. This will, perhaps unfortunately,necessitate the design of a new system of academic criteriafor academic disqualification to replace the multiple pit-falls provided by the cumulative rating. The elimination ofthe unsound, unfair and distorting cumulative rating wouldmore than compensate for this minor inconvenience, whichcould as -,yell prove a blessing in disguise.

The chief problem, however, is the stimulation and main-tenance of intellectual interest. The ideas discussed at theconference were a big step in this direction.

Individualism And DirectionIndividualism and direction are the keys to the solution.

The conference spoke of synthesis and projects. Synthesisto give direction, to add meaning by giving an overallpicture; projects to focus individual interest.

Individualism can and should be the basic factor in theInstitute educational system. The recent recommendation forchange in the required curriculum of Course XII was a stepforward, providing for individual selection of program.Adoption of this plan by other Courses is desirable.

The big change must come, not only in selection ofcourses but also in instructional methods. Variation of in-dividual interest, learning speed and learning methodsmakes the present too rigid system unsatisfactory. Individ-ual attention is limited, however, by available faculty time.

In many courses at present systems of lecture and recita-tion or of both combined are efficient. In theory, materialis presented by lecture and by text. Often redundance ofpresentation, necessary for some and superfluous for others,forces an unwelcome choice-either to devote time unnec-esarily or to cut the lecture and miss some of the often fewpoints which are available only there.

Recitation is the key problem. To derive full benefit, thestudent must schedule his work load to conform with theclass scheduel. This is, in a great number of cases, impossibleand leads to the well known treadmill where the studentis always behind. The many classes where recitation andlecture are combined produce a compounding of thesefaults.

A New System

We suggest a new system-the elimination of the twolectures, two recitations a week instead. Each relatively in-dependent topic in an individual course would be brokendown into sections, each to occupy a continuous period oftime-the section first given would be devoted to the pre-sentation of material through complementary use of textand large lectures followed by one or possibly two con-ference periods (not necessarily scheduled) to enable thosestudents who wished to clear up any problems on the ma-terial presented; the second section would be devoted toapplication, not the present mass assignments, but individualprojects covering the material. Available during this periodwould be conference hours rather than recitations. Projectscould, if desired, incorporate use of the laboratories.

Actual faculty time required would not be materially in-creased. Conferences would require individual attentionbut time freed by more actual lectures and less repetitioncould, alloted according to need, be more fruitfully used.

The treadmill would largely be eliminated through thesubstitution of conferences for recitations, and of one pro-

ject completion date for the many dates for present homework.

For the economics, humanities and business courses, thesubstitution of one three hour period a week would oftenprove superior to the present three recitations. The longerperiod has, in the cases where it has been tried, encourageddiscussion and in many of these courses, discussion is themost desirable educational factor.

The project system can be carried to another level. Givenonce a year or once a term, a project involving a synthesisof the material presented that year (or that term) wouldlend meaning and direction to the material. Equally valu-able would be survey courses presented, perhaps at thebeginning of the second year, enabling a student to com-prehend how his courses fit together to give him an under-standing of his chosen field.

Perhaps a startling change from secondary school educa-tion, the project system is hardly more difficult than thepresent one. It offers a more organized approach, giving thestudent an idea of where he is at any given time; recog-nizes the difference in learning methods and speeds; and,more important, offers in its individual projects, repeatedchallenges to stimulate and maintain interest.

The alarming number of academic disqualifications lastterm was in no small way a product of academic disinterest.The consideration of this problem is one of our most pres-sing needs.

Girls go to college for precisely the same reasons as men doto broaden their horizons, to lengthen their vistas, to drink at th.fount of wisdom, to trail their fingers in the main currents o ;American thought. But if, by chance, while a girl is engaged itthese lofty pursuits, a likely looking husband should pop int=view, why, what's wrong with that? Eh? What's wrong wit.that?The question now arises, what should a girl look for in a husband ? A great deal has been written on this subject.

appearance, some say education. All are wrong.The most important thing - bar none - in a husband is healtk :

that he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance tobeguile you with his wit and charm, slap a thermometer in hismouth, roll back his eyelids, yank out his tongue, palpate histhorax, rap his patella, ask him to straighten out a horseshoewith his teeth. If he fails to pass these few basic tests, phonefor an ambulance and go on to the next prospect.If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to thesecond most important requirement in a husband. I refer to asense of humor.A man who can't take a joke is a man to be shunned. There areseveral simple tests to find out whether your prospect can takea joke or not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or burn his"Mad" comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or turn loose his petraccoon. Or shave his head.After each of these merry pranks, laugh gaily and shout

"April Fool !" If he replies, "But this is November 28," or some-thing equally churlish, cross him off your list and thank yourlucky stars you found out in time.

But if he laughs silverly and calls you "Little minx!" thenput him to the next test: Find out whether he is gentle.The easiest, quickest way to ascertain his gentleness is, o--/

course, to look at the cigarette he smokes. Is it mild? Is itclement? Is it humane? Is it balm to the palate? Does it minister

tenderly to the taste-buds ? D oes it coddle the nerve-ends ? Is itthe perfect accompaniment to today's easier, breezier living?

EDITORIALSA Study In Failure

Lack of "scholastic enthusiasm" is perhaps the most im-portant problem that faces the Institute. It was also, until theconference last weekend, one of the most ignored. Eitherfailing to recognize the situation or doubting the signifi-cance of any recommendations they might make, studentgroups in general steered clear of the question.

Hardly a strictly local problem, the lack of enthusiasmis one that can be solved locally. Not to any appreciableextent the product of what Dean Kepple of Harvard called"American anti-intellectuallism", the situation at MIT canbe traced directly to the educational system now in effect.

Taken in its simplest terms, an educational system is en-dowed with a set of rewards and penalties whose sole pur-pose is to keep the student headed toward education. At theInstitute, as at most academic institutions, the rewards andpenalties are manifested in two mechanisms, the degreeand the marking system.

The degree serves as the pot of gold the end of theeducational rainbow and the marking system, in this casethe cumulative rating, provides the reward for academicsuccess-the high cum and the prestige and monetary poten-tial that go with it, and corresponding penalty for failure--the low cum and disqualification.

These rewards and penalties are, however, only supple-rn.. to:he-core of the. system, the instruction, research,practice and so on which are the actual methods of educa-tion.

If the degree and the high cumulative rating becomeends in themselves, the prime concern of the student be-comes not education but the best way to "beat the system"and get the highest cumulative rating. When this is thecase, both the core of the system and the supplements havefailed.

The outstanding success of the Associated Tutors is anindication that to many undergraduates, education is sec-ondary to cumulative rating. and, to this extent, the Insti-tute system has failed.

Understanding of the values of the students is an abso-lute necessity to the design of an efficient educational system.Among Institute undergraduates there is a definate dual-ism-the values are both intellectual and material. Igno-rance of the degree of material valuation in the undergrad-uates leads to the design of a system in which the supple-ments, degree and cumulative rating become of dispre-portionate importance.

The intellectual values are there; but, if the system isinadequate, they will become subordinate to the materialvalues. The problem of scholastic enthusiasm is the prob-lem of making the intellectual values predominant inpractice.

Solution of the problem entails the use of two methods-adjustment of the supplements to place less emphasis uponthe material and changing the actual educational methodsto stimulate the intellectual.

Deemphasis Of MaterialismThe cumulative rating system, by its precise nature, tends

to become disproportionately important. Scientifically un-sound (it is computed to three figures although the data hasbut one), it provides too convenient an index of successin "beating the system". Rather than emphasizing individualcourses, it is a blanket figure ignoring them. Intellectually,the courses are the meaningful segments of an education;the cumulative rating is an often meaningless generaliza-tion.

In the mind of the student the process is a simple one,recognizing that the cum is a handy index for prospectiveemployers, they value it higher than the education which inthe long run prove more valuable. An employer does notsee the knowledge they have of thermodynamics, or ac-counting, he sees their cumulative rating.

The student, therefore, takes the course of action which,corrected for his extra-curricular interests, will maximizernot his education but his cumulative rating. And educationis not always the road to the highest cumulative rating.

In order to pump the air around thetunnel, 10,000 h.p. are required. Allof this power ends up as waste heat'due in part to the friction of the tun-nel walls and is dumped into theCharles River from which the coolingLwater is taken. The tunnel uses overone-fifth of all the electrical powergenerated in Cambridge.

For each Mach number at whichtest data is desired, a completely dif-ferent set of nozzle blocks are re-quired. This is a peculiarity of super-sonic flow; namely, the Mach numberof the flow depends on the shape ofthe flow passage, or flow nozzle.

As a result of previous net dona-tions, the Red Cross has promised afree blood transfusion to all membersof the MIT community-a privilegeshared by few. If this privilege is tobe retained, the response must con-tinue to be great. All donors under21 years of age must have theirparents' permission. Applications maybe made at the TCA office.

Donations will be made this yearin the Kresge Auditorium. The datesare March 6, 7 and 8. This is an op-portunity to give a pint of blood andsave someone's life.

This would involveextensive talks with the pledges, ex-plicitly pointing out personal faultsand emphasizing expectations forchange. Those who were adamantlyagainst hell week change pointed outthe fact that the recent incident whichset off the present series of investiga-tions was the first serious blemish ona record made up of several years ofhell weeks. They advocated furtherthat the proposed resolution, throughits specific limitations, would leave achained skeleton of the former hellweek and would render it worthless.

The fact that the hazing problemis now in the forefront among studentissues is adequately brought out bythe numerous investigations presentlygoing on at various levels of the Insti-tute, and by the fact that it has be-come a major issue in the comingclass and Inscomm elections, with onecandidate already having incorporatedit into his statement for office.

"Parents, wives and sweethearts canbe brought along to this free admis-sion show to take part in job discus-sions. They can ask the many ques-tions applicants sometimes fail toask. Things like housing conditionsin the company's area, advancementpossibilities, and so on."

"bti;nn and Bitfers", this year's Tech Show, has the Arabian Nights as |tstheme, and magic as its plot. Here Maureen Taylor, a Boston University

co-ed. sings the show's theme song.

An Audience ,f 'Friends

Tech Show, from minstrel with interlocutor to "Djinn withBitters": what has it been and what is it today? From writtenand verbal history, here's the tale:

In the beginning the show had the same ingredients that it hasnow: a group of overworked Techmen who wanted somethingto do. For the first few years these ambitious promoters produceda program far different from recent Tech Shows as minstrels,variety shows, and even Gilbert and Sullivan came under the head-ing of "Annual MIT Musical." As these first students grew inexnerience, so did their efforts, and, despite its varied style, TechShow (as it became officially known in the early nineteen hun-dreds) became tremendously popular-so popular, in fact, thatby the late 'teens the Show was making enough money to affordprofessional assistance.

The Tcch Shows of the Iate 'teens and early twenties grew intoquite some affairs. WVith budgets in the range of twenty thousanddollars (as compared to five thousand for this year) and profes-sional direction to boot, the "revues" became full-scale produc-tions, replete with ballet and professional musicians. Only oneastect marred the scene: there were absolutely no girls. But thecrowds flocked in. The "Tool" of those days decked himself outin dinner jacket et al to take his girl to the Tech Show, whichwas customarily produced in a downtown Boston theatre. Whenit went "on the road", the Tech Show company was greeted withfanfare and ceremony. and omening night at Smith was the socialevent of the season. Tech Show's General Manager was the biggest"BMOC", and the show itself, well-financed and highly polished,was at a Deak of popularity.

And then, as with so manv theatrical ventures, the pretty, pop-ular balloon burst, and soilled water on the spirits of most of itsbackers. Expenses, which rose close to the twenty-five thousanddollar mark in 1925, finally outstripped reserves, and, in one bad

with the Hyannis Music Circus. with at least some measure of success, for although its reprcsenta-tive rarely attends Inscomm meetings,'Class "A" Activity TechShow has sort of "just growed". The magic of opening night atKresge, whether in the dressing room or out in the house, is stillthere and growing with every new year and every new Show.'heilther it will ever again become what it was in the twenties,and whether it should try, are questions that those who produce itand those who see it should decide for themselves. It is rumored'htt somebody wants to take it to Smith this spring. Wherever it"ons whatever its score and script may be, Tech Show has one-'vinta-ge many Broadway angels would pay well for: it has an

audience of friends.

Past Includes Minstyear, the Show was in real financial difficulty. With its first acuteloss of money, came a major loss of enthusiasm, and with it alowered standard of performance.

The next few years saw the Show drop from its '25 peak andbecome instead a loosely-knit evening of skits. The Tech Showvof the late twenties and thirties was a poorly organized student-run operation, often thrown together at the last minute; it prob-ably resembled more closely our present-day All-Tech Sing, andunfortunately, was considerably lower in quality. Finally, in 138,.the activity which had begun as a simple minstrel, risen to afashionable social event, and returned to a topical reviews, vanishedfrom sight altogether, not to return until after the war.

But the thread of interest was main-tained in Bill Green, a professor in theHumanities Department. Prof. Green hadseen the evolution of Tech Show since hisarrival in 1925 and was still here whena student named Bob Hildebrand "got the.bug" to bring back Tech Show. This wasin 1947, and the ideas which Hildebrandinaugurated bring us quickly through thepast ten years.

It is on the basis of not a particularlynew set of principles that the Tech Show"ssince '47 have operated. Thanks to con-stantly recurring active leadership, TechShow has been able to make good use ofthose principles and is now student pro-duced, student directed, and student per-formed-but with a completely new,completely original show each year. TechShow is a real show this time, with every-thing fresh and crisp in its Broadway-style production!

The idea clicked. From what must havebeen pretty tough going in '47, TechShow has risen at least part way back upthe hill. Via John Hancock Hall, PeabodyPlayhouse, and anywhere else they couldfind to stage their swork, the leaders oflTech Shows '47 to '55 brought back tothe Techmen the thri II of an opening nightand the fun and frustration of large-scaletheatre. Finally, last year the Show camehome to Kresge Auditorium where itagain resides in '56.

The formula has wnorked, andlt evidently Jack also has <

A good portion of Tech's hopes inthis year's New England Intercollegi-ate Wrestling Associations Champion-ships, to be held today and tomorrowin Rockwell Cage, will rest with JohnMark Hirschi '56, Athlete of theWeek. As a Freshman, John placedsecond in the 147 pound-class, and thefollowing year he copped third in thevarsity competition of this sameweight class. John got a little heavierduring the following year and wasforced to move up to the 157 poundclass. He was still a member of thetop ranks in New England competi-tion, and took fourth in this divisionlast year. John is a good bet to coptop honors in this year's competition.Coach James Malloney has alreadymade arrangement with the AthleticAssociation to send John to the Na-tionals, if he places high in the localcompetition.

John, who is 21, was born in WichitaFalls, Texas and grew up on hisfather's ranch. He was active in HighSchool Athletics, receiving a varsityletter in basketball his last three yearsthere.

He began the Institute in course12-b, but has recently transferred tocourse 9. John plans to take a jointgraduate program at both MIT andHarvard where he will get trainingin both business and diplomacy. Hehopes to make his career working forthe government's diplomatic service.

Besides wrestling John has beenquite active in the MIT community.His first year here he was a member

As a junior he served asTreasurer of Beaver Key. As a mem-ber of Beta Theta Pi he has servedas athletic chairman, rushing chair-man, and president. John has beenactive in just about all intramuralsoffered at Tech.

Although he never wrestled until hecame here, John has only been pinnedonce in 4 years of collegiate competi-tion. Coach Malloney says that John,as captain, has done a more than ade-quate job in leading the team throughtheir victorious season.

ockey Team BLast Home (

'The 1MI4T hockey team closed out theime version of the 1955-56 season1th one of their most exciting games

the year as they bowed to Tuftsi last Wednesday night. A hectic

|ird period that almost broke into aagfest and terminated with threepals in 41 seconds highlighted arme in which the cardinal and grey11 behind early in the first periodtd could never quite catch up. Cap-Un John Sullivan '56 made his lastPpearance at Tech a success by pull-

his second hat trick in threeames. Goalie Sandy Aitken'56 wasn'ti lucky as he was forced to retireiter the first period due to a highamperature.ITufts started out with a bang scor-ig twice in the first five minutes asBch was a little slow getting backa defense. A short time past the mid-4y mark of the period, Sullivan camei all alone and was stopped by a niceWe by Dave Wilson, Tufts goalie. Aalf minute later Sully took a pass~om Tom Buffet '57 and Bev Goodi-Sn '57 and delayed beautifully beforeiing out Wilson and scoring cleanly.'With Dick McCabe in the nets Tuftsbt a fast start again,. as Whiteyfamilton, last year's leading scorer

I the country hit the twines at 0:15.[amilton set up the second goal, draw-1g McCabe out and leaving an emptyet for Tom Nolan. At 6:21 GoodisonNed one into the upper corner of theiets to make it 4-2. Hamilton scoredain at 11:54 and Charley Cinto gotde sixth Tufts goal at 16:42. Thee three men figured in Tech's

[ird goal with Sullivan getting theore at 17:21.iThe third period went along calmly

or 14 minutes before Nolan got hiscond goal of the might. Then the

4ecking got hard and both sides heldack little in their fight for the puck.

;.. . .

Two closely timed penalties to theBlue and Gold gave Tech a big ad-vantage, and Paul Ronty, coachingfor the night, took out McCabe togive the Be avers a six to three ad-vantage. The strategy paid off asPaul Ekberg fired one right throughthe goalie, but backfired 22 secondslater when a Tufts defenseman lifteda puck from his own blue line into theempty Tech nets. Finally after an-other near battle Sullivan scored un-assisted to end the night's action.

Yearling HoopstersWhip Tufts' Quintet

Larry Roger's frosh basketeersclimaxed this season's play with a vic-tory over the Tufts' yearling five. The59'ers scored 54 points in this match,while Tufts dropped 46 points throughthe hoops.

Bob Horenburg and Phil Lille, bothfrom Tufts, were the game's highscorers with 14 points each. Tech'sDave Garelich and Joe McGinty bothhit the boards for 13 points in thisfinal match.

The MIT frosh five looked like realhustlers in this meet. Dave Garelich,the center, was particularly instru-mental in the victory. Garelich helpedthe yearlings by making 5 out of 7foul shots. Joe.McGinty made 3 fouls,having tried for 7.

Tech's freshman basketeers had a3-7 record this season against somereally formidable competition. The'59 hoopsters lost'to Huntington intheir first match, whipped Exeter, andtook the JV quintet. They fell to theHarvard five, dropped to Dean, lost atthe hands of Northeastern University,and dropped their game with Wes-leyan.

to Randazzo of Broan who tallied70.58 points as Dave Bryson '57 pickedup three of Tech's points at second.The 100 free, as the 50, was nip andtuck all the way; Will Veeck of Techended up second with a 56.0 behind55.5 for Levin of Brown.

The Backstroke was slated as theevent to watch, and the forecasterscould pat themselves on the back whenthis one was over. Al Johnson '58 andAl Hortmann-'58 finishing one andtwo respectively since the first meetof the year, Bowdoin, faced two of thetop backstrokers in New England,Chapman and Whitman. For the firstsix laps Chapman, Johnson and Whit-man were matched practically strokefor stroke, with Hortmann slightly be-hind. On the last two laps Chapmanpulled slightly ahead ending with a2:21.1 a new Brown record, whileJohnson and Whitman finished in prac-tically a dead heat, the second placeaward going to Whitman. Johnsonwas clocked at a 2:23.9. MIT coppedtheir first win of the meet as MurrayKohlman won the 440 in 5:36.0. SamMcIntosh '57 of Tech finished secondin a 6:23. In the last individual eventof the meet, the breaststroke, CaptainFreddy White '56 took second in2:48.6.

Tech picked up the final 7 points asDave Staples '57, Les Orloff '57, BobHull '57, and Carter Smith '58 walkedaway with the final relay. This Satur-day the MIT natators meet WPI fortheir final meet of the season.

come out on top. Springfield, Amherst,Coast Guard, BU, Tufts and Tech alllave men that could win. Tony Vertin'57 will wrestle for the cardinal andgrey and could come through in thisclass.

The Heavyweights feature the de-fending champ Patten of Amherst, therunner up, Rivers of Springfield, andDon Derham, a sophomore fromCoast Guard who has beaten thenmboth.

This season MIT has been ablycoached by Jim Maloney and Lebanongrad Adman Haddad to their bestrecord in years. With the teams in theassociation as balanced as they are,Tech may earn enough points to placethem high in the standings. Last yearthey were able to do no better thansixth but with the tournament at homethey should make a good showing.

Dr. Stella's freshmen have failed towin a dual meet this season but willbe sending some outstanding men intothe tournament. Damon Cummings,Bob Blum, John Linderman, and BobCouch at 130, 37, 47 and 57 shouldpick up several places for MIT's 59ers.

This afternoon over 130 wrestlersfrom nine New England schools willparticipate in the twenty-seventh an-nual NEIWA championships. Theywill be competing for sixteen varsityand freshnlan gold medals and theRockwell Cup, emblematic of the teamchampionship. Donated by Dr. JohnRockwell, longtime patron of athleticsat MIT, the trophy has resided for thelast five years in the trophy case atSpringfield College. It was won forthe first time in 1947 by MIT whenthe championships were resumed afterthe war.

The Springfield dynamo that cap-tured the title last season with fourfirsts, two seconds and a third wasdepleted by graduation, although theystill have two defending champions.Most of the dual meets in the leaguehave been won by less than a five pointmargin and no one team can be pickedfor a probable first place.

The top teams are Amherst, whodefeated Springfield last December;the Big Maroon themselves, who stillhave a strong squad; and Wesleyan,second last year and winner of thelast two freshman titles. MIT cannotbe excluded from the list, having onlylost one meet in the conference. Thehome atmosphere of Roekwell Cagewill also contribute to the engineerschances of winning the title as theyhave yet to lose on the red and greymats.

The individual competition shouldbe even hotter than the team competi-tion. Eighteen place winners, three ofthem champions, are returning tocompete in the eight classes.

At 123 pounds are Amerantes ofSpringfield, NEI winner and third inthe NCAA's last year, and Danielsonof Amherst who has beaten him thisseason. Bob Boese '58 represents Techin this class and is capable of an up-set. Undefeated Butler from Tufts willbe the principle contender for the 130pound crown. To give him a goodfight are Fricke, Wesleyan and RayOrtler '58 of MIT.

The 137's feature the returningchampion and the second place manhe edged out by a point. Defendingtitleist Alissi of Springfield and Gram-mentine of W.esU. will probably meetagain in the finals tomorrow after-noon. Top men in the perenniallytough 147 pound class are EngineerHarris Hyman '58 and Bob Thompson,1955 freshman champion from Am-herst College.

Beaver captain John Hirschi '56 andKen Davies of Wesleyan will be the157 pounders to beat. Davies beat

Brown won the opening medley re-lay as Al tHortmann '58, Paul Cotter'57, and Will Veeck '58 of Tech turnedin fine perforrmances .ir.n their ownright. In the 220 Murray Kohlman'58 was able to stay up with Fogel-son for the first five laps, but thenFogelson opened up a two body leadwhich Kohlman was unable to close.Fogelson won in a 2:22.6 and Kohl-man finished in a 2:28.2.

The individual ideas of each engineer are mostimportant. In aircraft design, the time lag betweendiscovery and the utilization of knowledge isextremely short, shorter perhaps than in any othermajor industry. The solutions to the most stimu-lating problems which arise in the industry arefrequently dependent upon the daily utilization ofnew ideas and new knowledge.

The graduating engineer considering his firstcareer decision may choose whether he will enterthis field of work -- t-e design of airplanes andmissiles - that progresses hand in hand with newdiscoveries in all facets of science and engineering,or choose a less aggressive industry. Of course, itfollows logically that greater and more rapid ad-vancement opportunities lie in a field that does notstagnate, in a field that is bounded by the creativeimagination of man alone. At Chance Vought, air-craft design draws capable engineers to positionsof greater responsibility in developing new ideasand supervising the additional technical manpowerneeded to "practicalize" the ideas. Starting sala-ries are commensurate with education and expe-rience for particular specialization and are alsocompetitive with other industries as well asother companies. Advancement, as one would

expect, is based upon demonstrated performance,not seniority.

The future of the aircraft industry is equal to, ifnot brighter than, that of other industries. Thecomplexity of modern aircraft and missiles, theinvestigation of new fields of knowledge as air-craft fly higher and faster,' the possibilities ofman's further use of science and engineering forconquest of the air in the second half of hbe !0thcentury, all emphasize the challenge and oppor-tunity to the young graduate.

We urge the graduating engineer to investigatethese opportunities at Chance Vought. He willfind a stable, 38-year-old aircraft designer andbuilder with young ideas, -a designer and buildernoted for advancing the state-of-the-art of air-craft and guided missile design. He will discoverthat Chance Vought offers career opportunities,not merely impressive titles, and that he willjoin an engineering organization that thinksand operates as a team rather than as a randomcollection of individual engineers.

We have the usual fringe benefits including an ex-cellent graduate study program, group insurance,retirement income plan, paid vacation, sick leave,moving allowance, and numerous paid holidays.

We invite you to discuss your opportunities at Chance Vrought with

M-HE development of a new airplane such as the Crusader, the World's Fastest

Navy Fighter, cannot be credited to any one engineer. Each engineer, how-

ever, is invaluable because this truly new high-performance airplane is only the

final result of the creative thought and teamwork of a large number of engineers.
