fraternity findings

by Larry Boedeker '58One of the biggest complaints con-

tinually heard on the other side ofthe Charles is that fraternity repre-sentation in The Tecz is extremelyinadequate. Because The Tech real-izes this and is constantly trying toimprove, a regular column will bepublished.

The coming bid parties and IFCweek-end should provide a wealth ofinteresting material. The column willalso include items about other as-pects of fraternity life and theirviewpoint on Institutue affairs.

Writing the column will be almostimpossible however without the helpof the fraternities. Any informationabout parties, projects, or any otherinteresting activity will be helpfuland greatly appreciated. Just get intouch with Larry Boedeker at PhiMu Delta by calling Ci 7-9148.

an entirely different ensemble fromthe one this writer has heard in thepast. It is true it cannot approachcomparison to the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, but it seems to have risenabove the level of amateur medioc-rity it has held in the past.

Included in the evening's programwere: Coriolanus Overture, Op. 62by Beethoven; Symphony No. 101,"The Clock Symphony" by Haydn;Trauermusik or Music of Mourningby Paul Hindemith; and LouisianaStory, a Suite for Orchestra by Vir-gil Thomson. Klaus Liepmann, Mu-sic Director at the Institute, conduct-ed the Haydn and Hindemith works,while the Beethoven and Thomsonworks were conducted by Alvin Etlerof Smith. Aaron Temkin, a graduatestudent at the Institute was the violasoloist in the Hindcmith Work.

Fii'st to be performed was theBeethoven Overture. While the per-formance lacked a certain freshnessin one or two of the more rhythmicparts, especially at the beginning, theoverall effect was quite satisfactolry.There were several minor slips dur-ing the performance, but these re-mrnained minor and infrequent andcontributed no great detrimental ef-fect.

Concluding the first part of theconcert was t?. ever-popular HaydnSymphony No. 101, also called theClock Symphony because of the clock-like rhythms in the second movement.The performance of this work wasrather noteworthy, although the mu-sic sounded somewhat incoherent dur-ing several of the fortissimos. Alsoworthy of mention is the rather fineperformance turned in by Kenneth

of the pretty Smith College musi-cians, or to the aesthetic inspirationalbeauty of the new Kresge Audito-rium, or to the presence of a ratherlarge appreciative audience, or per-haps our musicians have been apply-ing themselves of late. The fact re-mains, however, that in its concertthis past Saturday evening in thenew Auditolrium, the MIT SymphonyOrchestra, augmented by the sym-phony of Smith College seemed like

government has been the successful comeback of the Public Rela-tions Committee this year. PRC sends notices to the Boston papers,and hometown releases to the local papers. It handles much activitypublicity within the Institute. Lest its work go unrecognized, wewish to take this opportunity to congratulate--and thank--a groupwhich has done a fine job.

A short time ago we had never seen any sign of this organiza-tion's existence other than its presence on flow charts. Under therevitalized chairmanship of R. Peter Toohy '55, PRC is,once againperforming the function for which it was originally established,the dissemination of Institute news, to the student body and to thepublic. PRC is doing its job in a manner of which every memberof the undergraduate body can be justly proud.

In its final session, the old Inscormm succeeded in establishingthe potentially most useful and effective Student-Faculty groupyet designed--the Liaison Council. This small group of six studentswho will meet with representatives of Faculty and Administrationwill probably be able to accomplish more in the field of intra-Insti-tute relations than many years of Stu-Fac committees, and will beable to keep Institute Committee better informed of official opinionthan it has ever been before.

Unfortunately, the bureaucratiphilic Inscomm members havesomewhat dampened our fervor for the prospects of this Councilby tying it heedlessly and unfortunately to the present Student-Faculty Committee, an organization which, though its membersmay take issue with our opinion, is little more than the Dr. Gallupof the Institute.

Inscomm discussion has amply demonstrated that Stu-Fac isperforming little useful function. Why don't the members of Ins-comm realize that government by committee is already one of thegreatest plagues that beset us, and that the creation of the LiaisonCouncil is adequate testament to the need for dissolution of theStu-Fac Committee ?

THE RIGHT KIND OF SPIRITThe enthusiasm with which the residents of Baker House have

responded to the request for their aid in housing conferees at theDiscrimination Conference is a fine example of the constructivespirit which we like to see at the Institute.

The conference steering committee, expecting only about 100volunteers to relinquish their rooms to delegates during the affair,was instead pleasantly confronted with nearly twice as many gen-erous offers of willingness to endure inconvenience for a worth-while cause.

Another mightily pleasing evidence of Baker's spirit which isdeserving of even belated mention in this column is the amazingturnout for the recent dormitory elections. About 981/2° % of thetotal residency voted in these contests, a figure which has neverbeen approached to the best of our memory in any Institute ballot-ing of comparable magnitude. Plaudits are definitely in order.

A Campus-to-Career Case History

It's James Kirchhoff's job to lookahead. As a Plant Engineer withIllinois Bell Telephone Company, hehelps estimate telephone equipmentneeds years in advance.

For example...when a new realestate development is in the planningstage, Jim figures how much tele-phone equipment it will need whenit reaches its full growth. His esti-mate is based on his knowledge of

the equipment's potential plus fore-casts provided him of the area's rateof development. He then makes acomplete report that becomes thebasis of plans for the future.

Jim can take a look at his ovwnfuture, too. In telephone engineeringhe can see a great many opportunitiesopening up in the next five years.. .ten years. He can pick the one hewants and start working toward it.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Jim graduated from Northwestelrn Universityas an E.E., class of 1952. His progress sincethen is typical of college men who have chosentelephone careers. If you'd be interested in asimilar opportunity, see your Placement Of-ficer for full details. There are also openingswith other Bell telephone companlies, with BellTelephone laboratories, or Western Electricand the Sandia Corporation.

Baker Pucksters Champs;Cop First Geiger Award

by Jerry Marwell '57

The first intramural hockey champion in Tech history was chosen Tuesdaynight when Baker House topped Phi Gam 2-1 and clinched the Ivan J. Geigermemorial award. With few contests remaining this new intramural venture hasproven itself both safe and enjoyable, and is a welcome addition to the scene.

The Baker House sextet relied mainly on seven players in its successfultitle quest. In the nets was Steve Edelglass '56. Ted Harshman '55, NormJeffrey '56, Milt Lilie '57, and Bob Turner '56 comprised the dependable line.Eddie Atkinson '57 and Jack Siegal '56 played spectacular defense.

The rock-ribbed defense, in particular, stood out in the finals. The dornmmen topped Theta Chi 3-0 and allowed only one shot to disturb the nets in thePhi Gam game. Against the Phi's Siegal and Harshman did the scoring fo'-Baker and Rog Houch '56 hit for the losers.

In the play-off for second place Theta Chi outlasted Phi Gam to take a nineperiod overtime match 2-1. The Phi Gan stars for the season were defensemen

Harry Flagg and Bill Waterson, both'57, who somehow managed to playvirtually every minute of every gameduring the five match schedule.

A special vote of thanks should begiven to intramural hockey managerJoe Hamlet '56 who did one of themost efficient jobs the AA has seen ina long time in organizing this infanttourney. The refereeing done by hisstaff, none of whom could have hadany experience along this line, shouldserve as an example for those in othersports.

It is both hoped and expected thatmore groups will enter into the compe-tion next season. Some of the notablerules used are: No checking within 10feet of the sideboards. This cuts downconsiderably on injuries. The "puck"is actually a rubber tennis ball. Thegoalie is the only man on the squadto wear any appreciable amount ofprotective equipment.

Hockey counts as a semi-major sporttowards the coveted All-Sports tro-phy. This, coupled with the fact that,through the new skating rink, moreand more Techmen are finding skatinga tremendously enjoyable sport, shouldgive an added impetus to the alreadysuccessful intramural hockey program.

by Jack Friedman '57Good Will is an abstract quantity in almost universal demand. The easiest

way for a group to obtain this precious quantity is through favorable publicity.Organizations and individuals everywhere will do almost anything and spareno expense to attain it. The Institute, whose academic standards are universallyrespected and whose contributions to science and technology alre world-re-nowned, maintains a public relations office which continually attempts to wetmore and better publicity for MIT.

In the belief that actions speak louder than words, we are presentinl, .111:idea whose purpose is to achieve Good Will for the Institute not through w\oridsbut through deeds. Athletic teams go long distances foi- awvay contests, butfew colleges attempt to make them feel at home and none, to our knowledge,has any organized plan. Beaver Key Society has taken it upon itself to pelformnthe rather cursory courtesies MIT apparently feels are the responsibility of ahost team. These courtesies usually consist of ushering the teams to and florolthe site of the particular contest and in providing them with ice clreamn in thelocker room.

It is a custom in minany prep schools to invite the visiting teams to meettogether with the home squad over coffee and doughnuts. These informal get-togethers help to promote the good feeling which should be part of amateursports, and visiting teams leave with a lot of respect for the home school. It issurprising that colleges have not adopted this practice.

Al Hahn '56 has suggested that MIT take the lead and begin doing morefor visiting teams. In addition to the informal sessions, he has suggested thatwe make tours of the Institute a palrt of the reception we give to visiting squads.MIT is a fascinating place and we might do well to show it off to visitors.

Hahn's idea was well received at a_ _ ~· -_ __ ~- recent AA meeting. It has been sug-

Oppolrtunities were never so goodfor civil engineers as they are now.Construction is increasing greatlyevery year; as an example of thisconsider the projected one-hundredbillion dollar Federal highway pro-gram.

Any freshman interested in CivilEngineering is urged to visit any ofthe professors listed in the courseguidance letter sent to him.

Although the labs will not beopened any freshman is welcome tovisit any of the Course I labs. Struc-tural, construction materials, soilmechanics, photogrammetry, and san-itary engineering labs are in Build-ing 1, and the hydrodynamics lab islocated in Building 48.

C..E. Exhibit(Conturd f!r om page 1)

building shows the use. of a new wallconstruction for buildings; itv.exte-rior walls consist mainly of one-eighth inch aluminum facing andperlite insulating concrete.

To show some of the surveyingpart of civil engineering, a photomap and two stereoscopic maps areexhibited. Other displays show trans-portation projects, soil stabilization,water power, flood control and stressanalysis.

This display will help show fresh-men some of the work done by civilengineers in the six main areas ofthe course-structures, building con-struction, foundation engineering,transportation engineering, and sani-tary engineering.

The exhibition, which will continuethrough March 16, is open on week-days from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

To give freshmen a further de-scription of civil engineering Prof.John B. Wilbur, head of Course I,will speak in 10-250, Monday, March14, at 5:00 p.m.

In his talk this is the message thatProf. Wilbur would like to get across-"Civil engineering is the broadestin scope of all engineering profes-sions because it touches most closelyon the lives of people. The best wayto appreciate this is to think of greatcities and what they would be with-out civil engineers. Civil engineeringis so close to everyone's life it istaken for granted and people appre-ciate only the spectacular new de-velopments."
