ers of the Freshman Council gath-ed at Endicott House for the
thirdnnual Freshman Leadership Confer-
~ce. By far the most successful ofe series, this conference was
plan-ed and run by Ed Roberts '57, chair-an of the Freshman
CoordinatingOmmittee.
"Role and Responsibilities of Stu-ent Government" was the
morning
pic. To keynote the discussion Jackaloma '56 emphasized the
point thate government of MIT undergradu-tes is conducted not by a
dictator-
ip but by students who strive tochieve mature undergraduate
think-
g, The group then broke up intour panels to consider aspects
ofudent government affecting fresh-en.
All panels felt that the Freshmanouncil as presently organized
is theost feasible organ for uniting theeshman class, but many
sectionaders decried the lack of interest
mong the rank and file of theirlass. In the discussion of Field
Daywas suggested that each year after
the event the classes participatingihould have an opportunity to
make
changes in the rules.After dinner, Prof. Norman Dahl,
chairman of the Freshman AdvisoryCouncil, and Prof. William
Greene,chairman of the Committee on theFirst Two Years, spoke
about"MIT'sChanging Educational Policy." Prof.Dahl emphasized the
role of the fac-ulty adviser and the importance ofcareful course
selection. Prof. Greenecontrasted A m e r i c a n
educationalprocesses with the European systemand speculated on the
future coursestructure at the Institute.
The afternoon panels are believedto represent the first occasion
onwhich freshmen have held formal dis-cussions on the Institute's
educationalpolicy. Several bases for concrete ac-tion emerged.
Particularly warm re-ception was given to a proposal for ayear-long
freshman orientation coursein which students would learn of
ac-tivities and 'opportunities in each ofthe academic departments.
One sug-gestion which has already been actedupon by Inscomm was
that an in-vestigation be held to consider thepossibility of
improving the qualityof freshman instruction by
graduatestudents.
Senior Ring Committee '56 was once again the main subject of
Inscomm debate. Meeting last Wednesday evening,the legislative
group finally came to a vote on a twice-tabled motion concerning
the Senior Ring Committee of '56,originally presented by Bob Alter
'56 two weeks ago. The motion called for payment by the members of
the Ring Com-mittee a sum of $31.50, or the retail price of the
ring, whichever was the smaller figure. The discussion that
followedthe motion's removal from the table was lively and marked
by a variety of views.
In support of his motion, Alter cited a previous Inscomm
recommendation directed to the Ring Committee re-questing their
payment in full for the rings, which request, Alter stated, was
ignored. He expressed the opinion thatInscomm recommendations
should carry sufficient weight to command, implicitly, compliance,
and that, therefore, theRing Committee's disregard for this Inscomm
request set a dangerous precedent.
Several representatives differed with Alter's views. The phrase
"ex post facto" was used quite often. For example,Jim Rowan '57
said that if Inscomm felt that Ring Committee members should pay
for their rings, Inscomm shouldhave made that policy known to the
Ring Committee prior to the signing ofBinner '56 made it clear that
deposits were made on the rings before Inscomm's

any contract. In this regard, Dorettarecommendation, although
full payment
was made somewhat later.The moral as well as the legal side
was discussed at length. Ed Roberts'57 proposed a substitute
motion whichresolved that since the Judicial Com-mittee's request
to the Ring Commit-tee to pay for the rings had been ig-nored, and
since Inscomm in makingmerely a request, protected membersof the
Ring Committee while neglect-ing its higher obligation to the
classof '56, Inscomm should:
(1) Apologize for ignoring its tacitobligation to the class of
'56.
(2) Order members of the RingCommittee to pay for their
rings.
Prior to this motion, Dick Peskin'56 had asked that Inscorem
admit itsmistake in the poor handling of thesituation, and then go
on from thereto rectify the error.
This viewv met with opposition.Oliver Johns '56 suggested that
theInscomm members should not "stum-ble all over" themselves

Holding that expulsion from anyone dormitory was tantamount to

a less serious pun-ishment than expulsion.
Re-hearing the case, DormJudcomfound both defendants guilty.

MIT's Olympic Fund Drive has ter-minated. The Fund Committee
re-ported that student response wasvery poor. The drive has yielded
only$400 to send our athletes to Australiain 1956. Because of the
inferior re-sults, the committee is as yet unde-cided as to whether
to recontinue thedrive in the spring or merely sendin the present
amount and not at-tempt to collect more.

Having all good intentions of wrv'iting a colunin for this paper
under thegeneral heading: of "entertainment around Boston, niusical
arid otherwise" I
decided to start with a review and comment on the jazz concert
scheduled for
last Wednesday in Kresge Auditorium. Needless to say I got off
to my usual
flying start: no concert! It seems that Don Elliot and Serge
Chaloff had both
agreed to have their groups play for the MIT Jazz Society's
first meeting free
for nothing, provided! that there was to be no admission charge.
Wednesday
morning the union said that they couldn't play unless the Jazz
Society paid the
musicians, which, unfortunately, they couldn't.
Of the two scheduled groups, Don's is the better known. He is
one of the
most popular modern jazz niusicians and deservedly so. He plays
ribes, trumpet,mellophone, bongos and sinlgs equally well and
exhibits a strong rhythmic drive,
complete technical facility anad excellent taste independent of
the instrument
he chooses to expless himself at the momlent. I mil-ht add that
he is also one
of the most pleasant of people. Ser-e, though not quite so
versatile is even more
exciting-. He plays the baritone sax with a de,-ree of control
seldorn heard on
that difficult instrument though his extremely wide vibrato
tends to get the
better of his taste ill his ballads. It is no mean feat just to
holt a thirty pound
baritone for an hour but Ser-ge appears to sing through the
instrument as
thoufh it were merely an extension of his musical personality
and not an
instrument it all. As a matter, of fact, when he does sing,
(wvhich is seldom,thank -roodness) his voice has ran unmnistakable
resemblance to the ahinost uglythough r-ather expressive soulid of
the baritone.
He is one of the dominant forces in Boston jazz and the
"grandda'ld.d" ofthe other important baritone saxists of the
present jazz scene including GerryMulligan, who derives much of his
style from Serge, and the late Bob Gordon.He wvas a member of
Woocty Herman's "Four Br-others" baind along- with StanGetz and
Zoot Simis and lie made nany famous recordings with them.
Hispresent g-roup is a sextet featuring ex-Kenton alto player Boots
Mussili, pianistBob Freedniwn and a wonderfully swvinging- bass
player Everett Evans.
I strong'ly suggest that if you have the opportunity to hear
Serge ill thenear future that you (lo so and that you make it a
point to stop in tit the FiveO'Clock Club on Huntington Avenue and
heal' Don %while he is still in town.It is really too bad that an
organization such as the MIT Jazz Society, whichis trying to create
an interest in good jazz here at Tech and expand the interestsof
the Tech man in general, hias neither the moral nor financial

The Institute Judicial System is awell-ordered structure
designed totreat, on a student level, student dis-ciplinary
problems. The co-o'dinatin-rstudent judicial body is the
InstituteCommittee Judicial Committee, whichis a sub-committee of
Inscoimm. Sub-ordinate to the Judcoram are the I)or-eitcry Judicial
Committee, the Inter-fraternity Co u n c i I

discussionsat 3:00 p.m. in the Student-FacultyLounge in Walker
Memorial. Every-one is invited to attend this weeklydiscussion,
which features five to tenforeign students from a variety
ofcountries.
These informal affairs are whatmay best be described as an
"Inter-national Coffee Hour." No preparedprogtram or pre-determined
topicswill be presented, but rather thosepresent will gather into
small panelsor groups and discuss any topicswhatever with the

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young engineerdecides what colors
are best forG-E reflector lamps
Which color of light makes people look nat-ural? Should a blue
light be used more oftenthan a red? What kind of effect does a
violetlight have on merchandise?
In recent years, color lighting has becomeso important in
stores, restaurants, theaters,and displays that General Electric
developeda line of new easy-to-use color-reflector lampsfor this
market.
The man responsible for deciding whichcolors are most effective
for users of theselamps is 29-year-old Charles N. Clark,
Ap-plication Engineering Color Specialist forGeneral Electric's
large lamp department.
Clark's Work Is Interesting, Important
In a recent series of tests, Clark made acritical appraisal of
literally hundreds ofcolor-filter materials to find the ones
thatproduced maximum results but were stillsuitable to
high-production techniques, prac-tical stocking and simplified
selling. Thisexperimental work also had to take intoaccount all the
information on human per-ception of color.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Clark came to General Electric in1949, he already knew the
work he wantedto do. Like each of the 25,000 college-grad.uate
employees. he was given his chance togrow and realize his full
potential. For Gen-eral Electric has long believed this: Whenfresh.
youn-g minds are given freedom tomake progress, everybody
benefits-the in-dividual, the company, and the country.

than a "privileg'e". l)ormCemmn Jud-Comm implied that suspension
ofprivileges was within the pover ofthe Baker Coemn, but that
suspelnsionof rights was the preserve of theJudCorlni.
There is some contention that theI)ormComm JudComm mTneeting
maybe invalidated, since Herb Amster'56, head of the Dormitory
Counciland a Baker resident, claims he wasnot advised of the
meeting. TheBaker House Committee plans to ap-peal the JudComm
decision to theI)olrmitory Council.
The second major area covered bythe Raker House Committee was
thecontroversial "Baker House Tax". Atthe beginning of the term a
referen-dum held in Baker showed that a ma-jority of the students
voting desiredthe imposition of a dollar tas onevery residlent, to
be used to expandthe Baker House budget. \When col-lection was
attempted, however, there-,as considerable and very noisy
re-sistance. As a result, the BakerCommwiped out all tax
legislation fl romthe record and plans to hold another,more widely

this referendum will be final,and the House Committee will at-tempt
to enforce the tax, if it is ap-plroved.

The secondl round of the intramural football playoffs will take

takes on BetaTheta Pi. SAE and Phi Delta Theta are both undefeated
for the yea', havinltwon theilr respectiv-e leagrues undefeated and
knocked off their opposition inlast week's playoff games. SAE
rolled over a highly rated Phi Gam team 18 to 0,and the Phi Delts
dropped the Betas 14 to 7 in one of the closest games of theyear.
This week it should be the Pil Delts over SAE in another close one
butWalt Ackerlund '58 should make the difference. The Betas should
keep theirtitle hopes alive by knocking off the Phi Gams easily.
With tailback TomHoffman '56 and four other regulars definitely out

Led by team captain Ray Smlnith'ssensational runlling, the tol,
perfnr-mance of his coliege career in hislast intercollegiate race,
a vastly im-proved MIT varsity harrier squadplaced sixteenth in the
largest fieldever to compete in the ICAAAAchampionship meet held
last Monday-over the tough Van Cortlandt Palrkcourse in New York
City.
Finishing; strong, Smith passed ascore of competitolrs inll the
last txw,miles to place 26th. an implroxementof 21 positions over
his effort of lastyealr. Following theil; captailn's (-ample, the
remainder of the B;eav(rsquad also regained .ground in thelast
stages of the fi-o-mile distancein the 47th renewal of the
annualevent. Hampered by the absence ofstars Jack Buell and the
injured EdCarter '58, the Beaver smuad did wellin defeating
Rut-'etrs, Pennsylvania,Yale, Union, Rhode Island. Lehigh,Columbia,
and Alfred. The team titlewent to Pittsburgh with MichigalnState,
tlroubled by the lack of astrong fifth man, a close second.
Theindividual title went to Henry Ken-nedy, a Michigan State
sophomore,whose time of 24:30.3 missed themeet record by two-tenths
of a sec-ond.
Smith's performance is all the moreamazing in view of the number
oftop New England runners from theNEICAAA meet the week previouswho
were beaten by the Beaver har-rielrs this time. Among these was
Bob"Squeaky" Horn, Massachusetts, Avhoplaced second in the New
Englandmeet. The remaining places gralrneredby the Tech team were
Dave Vaugrhan'5)7. 79th, Peter Carberry '57, Il)th.W'alt Kuckes

168th. MIT was representecdlin the three-mile F.!eshman run byMark
Porter, 91st, and Chuck Staples.103rd.
The ICAAAA meet marked theconclusion ,f the 1955 cross
count,'yseason. Though not maeasulrinz. u toearly season hopes, it
w-as, none theloss, a successful y-ear. A revision ofthe results of
the Boston Universitydual mrneet due to the discov-ery of
anineligible runner, has given the MITteam another victory, raising
theirregular season record to 2 and 3along with a sixth in the New
Eng-land's and this week's sixtoenth inthe ICAAAA's. Coach Oscar

The Tech FRIDAY, NOVEMBIER !g, 195I _ ' i lug__ 7 'r~r~esl
by F. Heimut Weymar '58
In attacking the job of utilizing the million dollar bequest
toward athletics at the Institute from the late DavidduPont '56,
architecture student Dimitri Vergun '56, has issued the
accompanying preliminary plans. Vergun, holder ofthe present MIT
basketball scoring record, has chosen the job of laying out plans
for extensive additions to the pres-ent athletic facilities as the
subject of his senior thesis.
The two proposed plans differ mainly in that one makes use of
the armory, modernized and adapted for use as agymnasium, while the
other precludes the razing of the nearly half century old building
and replacing it with newfacilities. If the armory were to be
incorporated into the new'plant, the proposed plans would call for
a new structure
recently proposed by Building andPower. Briefly, these plans
call for abuilding built around the hockey rink,with squash courts,
and separaterooms for various other sports on thefirst floor, and a
gymnasium and officeson the second floor.
As we see it, the best plar, proposdthus far is Vergun's layout
involvngthe new athletic building. t, includesnecessary new
facilities for all need.ing intercollegiate sports notablecrew and
squash, while also ?roviding
(Continued on page Ijust southeast of the armory to housean
auxiliary swimming pool, separatewrestling, fencing, and
weightliftinglooms, a crew tank, a rifle range, andsquash and
handball courts. Included
ture would be the newly located Ath-letic Association offices.
The extensivefloor of the armory itself would pro-vide space for
the intercollegiate bas-ketball teams along with the inter-mural
hoop, badminton,. and volleyball squads. Were the armory to betorn
down, the alternate plans wouldcall for an entirely new building
run-ning parallel to Massachusetts Avenuewith the swimm'ng pool and
an aux-iliary gymnasium between it andRockwell Cage. The squash
courtswould be situated beside the pool, justeast of the cage.
Included in the pro-posed new main structure would befacilities for
all indoor intercollegiatesports, while the auxiliary gym
wouldhouse the various intermural sports.Were either of these two
plans usedwith slight modifications, the tempo-rary floor in the
eastern end of thecage would, in all probability, bepermanently
taken up. Both plans alsoinclude a permanent roof over therink.
Several other plans have been offer-ed since the bequest was
announced,notable among which was the layout

Marty Gerson '57 asked for a clear-cut decision, sans apology,
either tomake the Ring Committee pay, or not.
Roberts' substitute motion was thenput to a vote and defeated by
elevenvotes against to eight votes for. A1-ter's motion met the
same fate by avote of thirteen to six.
Jack Saloma '56, Inscomm Presi-dent, reported that:
(1) Although request for extensionof this year's Christmas
vacation hadbeen turned down, the Institute re-quested student
views on the '56-'57calendar which will be drawn up inDecember. A
committee has beenformed to handle this matter.
(2) A Parents' Weekend (May 6)Committee, composed of faculty
mem-bers and students, promises excellentresults.
(3) An increase in funds has beenmade available to several
activities,e.g., music. More funds have been re-quested for the
intramural program.
M. Philip Bryden '56 informed thecommittee that the NSA will
hold aconference having for its topic thecurrent state of American
education.The site picked for the conference isSaratoga Springs,
New York, and thetime, December. Bryden suggestedthat MIT be
represented by competentsophomores and freshmen, so that
thepotential leaders of student govern-ment might be afforded some
valuableexperience.
Four new motions were voted on bythe Committee. Those passed
included:
(1) the Executive Committee mo-tion: That the SCEP undertake

much needed space for casual individ-ual and intermural
recreation. Theidea of incorporating the armory intothe plans seems
poor in that thestructure, although probably spaciousenough, would
be an eye-sore twentyyealrs from now, and generally wouldnot fit
into the proposed plans for thecampus. Building and Power's
plan,economical as it may be, would notprovide near enough space
for theInstitute's present athletic needs, andthus would fall short
of its purpose.
No matter what plan is finally adopt-ed, it is truly encouraging
that meas-ures are being made in solving theproblem.

Blood Drive EndedThe TCA Blood Drive was complet-
eded on Thursday, November 10, withvery satisfactory results.
Althoughthe count is unofficial, it is estimatedthat 515 pints of
blood were obtainedduring the drive.
The drive was greatly hampered bythe fact that Baker House
residentswere not allowed to contribute be-cause a case of jaundice
had beendiscovered in the house. In spite ofthis, the results of
the drive stoodup very well in comparison with thedrives of last
year
