Plans for the Annual Federal In-spection of the Air Force ROTC de-tachment at the Institute are now be-ing completed, according to ColonelCharles F. Baish, in charge of the

; Department of Military Science.Under the general direction of[ Colonel Adolf M. Wright, Air Force

ROT C Inspector General, a liaisonl team consisting of Colonel Byron R.

Switzer, Lieutenant Colonel NewtonE. James, and Captain James C.

I? Lambdin will visit the Institute onH April 16, 17, and 18.

: This year marks the first time thatinspections have been carried out

:~ under the supervision of the newlyclieated Air Force ROTC Headquart-

:ers at the Air University, Mont-K gomery, Alabama. Prior to August,

1952, the Air Force ROTC was underthe jurisdiction of the ContinentalAir Command.! i The primary purpose of the nation-,al inspection program is to examine; the training, both in the classroom' and on the drill field, of the 145,000AFROTC cadets-, now enrolled in

A, American universities, and to noteany deficiencies and difficulties whichneed correction in each unit.

Teaching procedures, adequacy ofiinstructor facilities, effectiveness of

: instructors and general military bear-ing of the cadets are some of thepoints on which each detachment will

'be graded. Approximately two dayswill be spent at each institution, with

; the inspecting teams in most cases re-viewing the corps of cadets on parade.

The inspectors will also scrutinizethe administration and supplymethods of each unit and discuss theAFROTC program with school andlocal officials.

,Academic Freedomj Dr. James R. Killian Jr., president

[-of the Institute, was one of 37 headsL of leading American and Canadianeducational institutions to sign the re-`port on academic freedom issued bythe Association of American Univer-hsities last week. The report was

: drawn up by a committee headed by:Dr. A. Whitney Griswald, president

' of Yale University.The report, entitled "The Rights

" and Responsibilities of Universitiesand Their Faculties," took six months

}to prepare and said in effect that fullacademic freedom should be guaran-teed all professors, but that this free-dom should not include the right tomembership in the Communist party.

(The Association, which is headedby Dr. Harold W. Dodds, president of

Travelling to Annapolis, Marylandfor their first regetta of the springsailing season, the Beavers faced hostNavy and eight other Eastern -sailingteams in the 26th annual McMillanCup regetta.

The Naval Academy will providethe yawls to be used in the regetta,distributing them by lot to -the com-peting schools. Two courses, of 12and 19 miles have been marked outfor the races, held on April 4 and 5.Competing from the New EnglandIntercollegiate Sailing Association,besides Tech, are Harvard, Defend-ing Champion Williams, Rhode Is-land, and Yale. Middle Atlantic en-tries are Navy, Cornell, Webb, Syra-cuse, and Colgate.

"Humanity CalledArchitecture NeedAt Present Time

"Architecture, to endure, must beimbued with feeling, imagination andreason," is the opinion of Pietro Bel-luschi, dean of the School of Archi-tecture and City Planning at the In-stitute.

Mr. Belluschi suggested at a recentconference on art education in NewYork that perhaps we are not payingenough attention to beauty in thiscrowded age of science, pointing outthat the search for beauty remainsthe hope to close the gap betweenknowledge and wisdom. He agreedwith the conclusions of a recent con-ference on the plight of the moderncity which regretted the passing ofthe use of ornamentation and richnessof design. During this conference anarchitect, painter, sculptor, poet,critic, and writer all agreed thatmodem architecture was cold, over-intellectual and inhuman.

Human Needs Affect Architecture"We have lost awareness of human

beings," Mr. Belluschi said. "Theoptimistic architect today must be-lieve in humanity. Architects nolonger work for monarchs they workfor the multitudes." He emphasizedthat great architecture is never anarbitrary form but grows from humanneeds. The purpose of architecture,he said, is to provide emotionally andphysically satisfying shelter for man.

Both the Geology and ElectricalEngineering Departments have sched-'uled "Open House" for the near fu-ture. Two world-famous electricallaboratories at the Institute will bepresented by the Course Six StudentFaculty Committee Thursday, April9, from 4 to 5:30 p. m. as the fifthin its series of laboratory open houses.Dr. J. G. Trump of the High VoltageLaboratory will show the newest andlargest of positive ion accelerators aswell as the most promising new wea-pon in the fight against internal can-cers. Located in Building 28 is the2,000,000 volt Van de Graaff X-raysource ,used for deep tumor therapyin cancer treatment. Although un-known to most undergraduates, thislaboratory has been treating as manyas forty patients a day. The remark-ably flexible arrangement at Techpermits an X-ray dosage approxi-mately ten times that of a normalchest X-ray with minimum detrement-

The large Van de Graaff generatorin Building 58 originally designed toproduce 12,000,000 electron volts isnow being operated at 8 mev. Thispositive ion accelerator and a similarone at Los Alamos constitute thehighest energy apparatus so far at-tempted by the electrostatic method.

Plans are being prepared by theDepartment of Geology and Geophy-sics for an "Open House" for firstyear students on Tuesday andWednesday afternoon, April 14 and15, from 3:30 to 5:30 p. m.

The purpose of the "Open House"says Professor Robert Shrock, chair-man of the department, is to givefirst year students an opportunity tosee departmental facilities, equipmentand operations, and to ask questionsthat they may have with reference toGeology, Geophysics and Geochemis-try as possible professions.

42 Voice Chorus aFrom Puerto Rico IPlans Sing Tuesda IAs its final concert of the season,

the Institute Humanities Series willpresent the Chorus of the Universityof Puerto Rico, directed by AugustoRodrigues, on Tuesday evening, April7 at 8:30 p.m. in Huntington Hall.This concert will be free and open tothe public-no tickets required.

The Chorus is made up of 42 sing-ers-mixed voices-ranging in agefrom 16 to 23. They are Puerto Ricanby birth. Spanish is their mothertongue, and English their secondlanguage.

The singing is done a cappellaconsidered the purest, and most ex-pressive form of choral art. All themusic, from three to eight parts issung in its original language of com-position, Latin, Spanish, Italian,French, Creole, English, Brazilian,Galician, Vasconian, Russian andHebrew.

It was in 1936 that the Chorus ofthe University of Puerto Rico wasorganized, and since then it has hada consistently successful career. Onboth its 5th and 10th anniversariesthe Chorus was honored by Dr. Archi-bald T. Davison, of Harvard Univer-sity, as guest conductor.

Nearly 700 concerts include CarnegieHall, the Hall of the Americas atthe Pan American Union, Presidentialplace in Haiti, four world-wide broad-casts over the National BroadcastingCompany, three coast-fo-coast overthe Mutual Broadcasting System andtelevision over the Columbia Broad-casting System-besides musical back-

'grounds for three documentary filmsand RCA Victor records. A short 17-day tour to Washington and NewYork in the spring of 1949 won themost laudatory comments of criticsand audiences while accomplishing 37presentations. Twelve other publicwere made in four days duringL'Exposition Internationale Bicenten-aire Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

The program which the chorus willpresent at the Institute includes re-ligious chants, English madrigals,folksongs of Various countries, Latin-American songs, and popular music ofPuerto Rico.

Resacor EngineerSubject Of SpeechBy Dr. Weinberg

Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg will bethe speaker at the annual dinnermeeting of the student branch of theA. S. M. E. at the Institute. The af-fair will be held at 6:00 p. m. onTuesday, April 14, in the CampusRoom of the Graduate House. Admis-sion to the dinner is $1.75 per person.

He will speak on "The Nature ofReactor Engineering," a relativelynew and diverse field for MechanicalEngineers, and a field which, in viewof rapid scientific and technology ad-vaces, promises to be of extreme im-portance to the engineer.

Dr. Weinberg has been the Directorof Reserch at the Oak Ridge NationalLaboratories since 1949, previous towhich time he had been the directorof the physics division of the labor-tories. He has been active as a mem-ber of the American Physical Societyand in his specialty of mathematicalbiophysics.

Reservations may be made by con-tacting Arthur A. Winquist '53, orJack Webb '53 on East Campus orthrough Professor Warren M. Rohse-now of the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment.

Sixteen Piece gBandOF Wild ChosenFor Enterteinment

Mechanics Hall will be the scene ofthe first All Tech Dance to be heldon May 9, it was announced earlierthis week. Jerry Wald's 16-piece bandhas already been chosen to supply themusic for the affair. His orchestrawhich is Decca Record's No. one re-cording group, is currently playingat the Paramount Theatre in NewYork.

iMechanics Hall was reserved forthe dance early in February of thisyear and will cost approximately $600.Use of the main hall, balconies, stageand dressing rooms, and the exhibit-ion hall which is just off the mtainhall will all be available for the dance.This space will accomodate up to 6100people.

1000 Couples MinimumA minimum of 1000 couples is ex-

pected to attend the dance. It will besemi-formal and will start at 8:30p. m. and end at midnight. Ticketswill cost about $3.00 per couple. Theactual price, however, has not yetbeen decided upon.

A committee was set up by In-stitute Committee to investigate thedesirability of such an "All TechDance" and to make preparations forit if it proved feasible. A strong stu-dent indication that this type of affairis what the students want urged thecommittee to make the necessary ar-rangements. The dance is expected tobe strongly supported by the studentbody.

Members of the committee are:Eldon Reilly '55 (chairman), MarionManderson '53, Robert Sukenik '55,Malcolm Blair '53, Bennett Sack '53,Sidney Hess '53, Harry Schreiber '55,and Mitchell Savin '56.

Univ. Of Tennesseeinstalls Electronic"Reaction Meter"

Push button learning has come tothe University of Tennessee's campus.An electronic device now being usedexperimentally by the College of En-gineering enables the student to reg-ister an immediate protest without in-terrupting his professor if he failsto grasp a point in the lecture.

Called the "student reaction meter,"the push button learning aid has ameter which faces the lecturer andshows him how many students arenot understanding the presentation.

If the number is large, the professorrepeats and clarifies his material.

Built Last SummerUnique in the South and perhaps

in the natiofi, the reaction meter isbeing used now in elementary engi-neering courses. Originally suggested

for use here by Engineering Dean N.W. Dougherty, the device was de-signed and built last summer by Pro-fessors C. H. Weaver and W. O. Lef-fell of the electrical engineering de-partment.

Termed simple and practical for al-most any classroom, the meter iscalibrated by the teacher according tothe number of students in the class.Each student has his individual pushbutton on his desk and can set themeter needle quivering.

With the control in his hand, thestudent can show when he is failingto grasp the subject without personalembarrassment. The professor, inturn, can determine the percentageof his class understanding his lec-ture.

through the mailTo the Editor of THE TECH:

I am interested in Mr. Sarno's com-ments about telephone communica-tions to the students and the impli-cation that the Institute does nothave an up-to-date telephone system.The Institute has provided a ratherelaborate internal dormitory tele-phone system with telephones in therooms of Baker, East Campus, theGraduate House, and the corridors ofthe Burton House, representing an in-vestment of approximately $100,000.I doubt very much if Mr. Sarno canname many colleges where there is aninternal telephone system with tele-phones in most of the student's rooms.In addition, extensions from the NewEngland Telephone switchboard areprovided in the corridors of the dor-mitories on all floors, on which stu-dents can receive calls from Instituteoffices and from anywhere outside ofM.I.T. Pay stations are also ratherliberally located through the dormi-tories. I have had occasion to stay indormitories at other colleges on theground floor. Calls come in to thatpay station for all the students inthe house. Someone has to answerand attempt to find the studentwanted.

In the system provided at the In-stitute it is possible to call all of thedormitory offices from any New Eng-land Company telephone. The deskclerk can then get in touch with thestudent to determine if he is . in hisroom. If he is in his room, the stu-

by dialing at a pre-arranged code.This, however, would necessitate in-creased dormitory expense and conse-quently rentals. It would also be pos-sible to put New England telephonesin all of the rooms, but this againwould necessitate the increase in roomrental by approximately $1.25 a weekto take care.of the expenses. The In-stitute Administration considered thisand decided against it.

With reference to the Burton Dor-mitory an internal dial system provid-ing telephones in each suite as in thecase of the Baker Dormitory wouldcost approximately $50,000. However,the attempt in the Burton Dormitorywas to keep down expenses and con-sequently the rents-hence the slight-ly less convenient telephone system.

It would be entirely possible byvote of the residents of any housefor the M.I.T. switchboard to refuseto call students after twelve midnightor any other desired hour.

It should be emphasized that thepresent operating method has notbeen designed primarily for the pur-pose of relieving the operators ofwork, but to make it possible to com-plete the call on a fully automaticbasis. As I call students in the dormi-tories frequently myself, I do notfind it particularly objectionable afterleaving the message that I want to becalled by a student to hang up andwait for him to call back from a cor-ridor telephone.

Owes Complete Candor"Above all he owes his colleagues

in the university complete candor andperfect integrity, precluding any kindof clandestine or conspiratorial activi-ties. He owes equal candor to the pub-lic. If he is called upon to answerfor his convictions, it is his duity as acitizen to speak out. It is even moredefinitely his duty as a professor.Refusal to do so, on whatever legalgrounds, cannot fail to reflect upon aprofession that claims for itself thefullest freedom to speak and themaximum protection of that freedomavailable in our society. In this re-spect, invocation of the Fifth Amend -

ment places upon a professor a heavyburden of proof of his fitness to holda teaching position and lays upon hisuniversity an obligation to re-examinehis qualifications for membership inits society ....

Unless a faculty member violates alaw, however, his discipline or dis-charge is a university responsibilityand should not be assumed by politicalauthority. Discipline on the basis ofirresponsible accusations or suspicioncan never be condoned."

residents who dislike having to walkto Burton House to play tennis, theeight Walker tennis courts are to behard surfaced early this spring, ac-cording to Director of Athletics IvanJ. Geiger.

The clay courts have been a prob-lem for some years, as whole morn-ings were required to ready the courtsfor- play, and the slightest rainfallrendered them unplayable. With thenew hard surface, the courts shouldbe available during all daylight hours.As soon as completed, the courts willbe put on reservation, with studentsenjoying top priority. Xr. Pung ofthe Walker Staff (extension 885) willserve as reservation clerk.

NCE there was a big, muscular fellow named Joe SchIu mph.He was full-back on the football team, captain of the

baseball team, and star of the basketball team. He had aroommate named Freddie, who spent more time reading booksthan Joe did sewing letters onto his sweaters.

One day, Freddie came running in. He was obviouslygreatly excited. "Joe !", he panted, wiping the steam from hishorn-rimmed glasses. "Guess what! I've just found the perfectshirts for all college men! They're brand new... and they'regreat for dates or cla--"

"I know," replied Joe. "Van Heusen's new short collarstyles. They're the latest thing this year... and those smartshort collars go perfectly with college clothes."

"'rell," said Freddie, "that's not all. They've got one calledthe Van Karon that's the epitome of good looks. It has adiminutive collar that flatters anyone's cervical region. Andit sets off your cravat impeccably!"

"Honest Injun?", said Joe."XVhat's more," said Freddie, "they have a comprehensive

collection of neoteric collar styles, including short spreads,short eyelets, short button-downs ... plus short collars withregular or orbed points. And, you can get the new Van HeusenShort Collar Shirts in a myriad of smart new colors. They'reso handsome they'll make any college man look like anoligarch !"

"An oligarch?", said Joe. "Well I don't care. I'm gonnabuy some anyway."
