Varsity In 124 RoutAs Byrne Hits Homer;Moulton Wins 1st GameAfter a slow start, the Tech var-

sity baseball team pulled away inathe late innings to defeat a LowellTextile nine, 12-4, last Saturdayafternoon at Briggs Field. StanMoulton pitched all the way, scat-tering nine hits as the Engineersracked up their first win of theseason.

Barney Byrne was the hitting starof the game for Tech, blasting outa home run and a triple, and driv-ing in three runs. He also walkedthree times for a perfect day at theplate. John lacMillan and PetePhilliou also had two hits apiece toaid'the attack, while three Lowellpitchers chipped in with ten walksand three wild pitches.

Errors AplentyLoose defensive play was respon-

sible for most of the scoring in theearly innings; Tech went out infront with two unearned runs inthe first inning, and Lowell cameback with two unearned runs in thesecond to tie it up. The Engineersscored another unearned run in thesecond, but three errors by JoeD'A.nnunzio allowed the Textilemento tally twice in the third and takethe lead at 4-3.

From that point on, however,Textile was held at bay, while theEngineers went to work in earnest.After starting pitcher Sugg hadbeen taken out for a 'pinch-hiftt,L'the Beavers pounded his successor,IMatthewson, for four hits and fourruns in the sixth to gain a com-manding lead of 10-4. The final tworuns were scored in the eighth offMurmes, Lowell's third pitcher.

Foreigners To BeSummer Students

FSSP Sponsors EightyFor Special Research

Applications by students fromtwenty-three countries throughoutthe world are being studied andselected by the Foreign SummerStudents Committee. Eighty for-eign students will finally be selectedto come to the Institute this sum-mer.

This marks the second year inwhich foreign students will be in-vited to the Institute to do specialshort term research work. Lastsummer the FSSP sponsored thestudies of sixty-three foreigners.

Graduate WorkThe students, who will all work

on graduate level, are selected bythe committee on the basis of pre-vious studies and independent workas well as general character vouch-ers and ability to benefit from theproject.

Travelling expenses 'from andback to their native countries arefLnanced by the government. -Ex-penses here at the Institute are metby the Foreign Summer StudentsCommittee, which is a part of theNSA at Technology.

As seen by Professor John B.Wilbur, job opportunities in Civiliengineering are good, but are not

in the "lush stages" that prevailedin the years immediately followingthe war. Professor Wilbur said thatthe reasonable balance between thelumber of prospective employersn.id the number of prospective em-

ployees is a "healthy condition"'The average monthly salaries for

last year were: Bachelors, $26r;Ilasters, $290; and Doctors, $375.

All undergraduates with tin panalley inclinations, who are inter-ested in working on Tech Show1950 are invited to an organiza-tional meeting on Friday, April 29,in Tyler Lounge, at 5:00 p.m. Fresh-men and Sophomores are especiallyneeded to provide experience forfuture years.

Openings exist at present in mostdepartments. Previous experiencein stage production is not neces-sary.

Preliminary script outlines forthe show will be considered duringthe week of May 2. All personsworking on script ideas are urgedto submit their outlines either toMary Burke in Litchfield Loungeor to Jerry Hartstein, '51, Box 173,Dormitories, by May 2.

Tech men will compete Thursdayin a contest to determine who isKing Wolf. The object of the con-test will be to talk the above pic-tured Emerson beauty queen into

a Soph Prom date.

Technology's wolves will be on theprowl in full force this Thursdaywhen the Q-Club presents "RWolfHunt," another of the stunts inconnection with the Soph Prom.Participants will vie with one an-other in attempts to date a "belledame" on the steps of BuildingTen.

"Wolf Hunt" will work as follows.Potential wolves may sign up forthe contest from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00p.m. today at the Soph Prom boothin the lobby of Building Ten. Thestunt will be run off Thursday noonon the steps adjoining the GreatCourt.

A Queen at StakeBob Abelson, G, will supervise the

Wurster of Architecture and Plan-ning speak in glowing terms of thearchitectural style of the New Dor-mitories and the lay-out of theHayden Library, we were perhapsa little surprised to hear his choiceof 'the top structure of any kind onthe campus.

'~Rockwe6ll Cage," he said, with-out the slightest hesitation, "is thebest looking building on the lot. Ithas dignity without any pompous-ness at all." The Dean went on tosay that he felt the cage reallycame into its own during the con-vocation ceremonies when it wasused to hold the inauguration gath-ering. "The row of columns run-ning down the center of the build-ing had us worried for a while,"he said, "we only put them in be-cause it meant that we could buildthe roof with timbers we receivedfree from the government.

examples of the architectural artist.Yet this building. as Dean Wursterpointed out, is really a wonderfulexample of what can be done withlight and air. Even though influ-enced by the space necessary fora pop fly, the height and simplegrace of the interior coupled withthe flood of light from the hugewindows give a wonderful feelingof freedom and dignity, whetherthe occupants number five or athousand.

Even the exterior of this struc-ture seems to mirror the free, sim-ple dignity of the interior, andgive pron.ise to the air and lightwithin. All in all, we think DeanWurster has a pretty good pointthere; we think the cage is quitea remarkable building, too.

12 Million VoltsNext to the swimming pool, a

building is going up which is tohouse the new 12 m.e.v. electro-static generator, a building whichshould cause quite a bit of com-ment. This will arise from the factthat it has a hole in the middle ofit. This great, gaping window look-ing right through it from front toback, makes the whole top of thebuilding look like a large block let-ter 0.

Professor Anderson, who designedthe building,, explained the thingquite simply. "We needed space atthe bottom of the verticle columnof the generator for laboratoriesand control rooms, and we had tohave unlimited access to the top,too," he said. '9But on the otherhand, we had no particular needto get at it any place in between."

Dean Wurster said they hoped toget rid of 22 every year, but thereseems no possibility of doing awaywith 20 in the near future. Afterpausing gloomily on the thoughtthat they had to tear down tempo-rary structures from the last warbefore they could put up tempo-rary ones for this, we moved on tothe brighter prospects of the EastGate project.

The Phi Gamma Delta CowboyParty started'off peaceably enoughwith a buffet supper for the broth-ers and their dates. But once theguests had arrived the wild andwoolly west took over. With astrange communion of minds, tre-mendous numbers of guests showedup with the latest and most efficientmodel squirt gun, and neither dig-nity nor beauty was proof againsttheir insistent assaults.

This year's screen attraction wasthat epic of the frontier, "The GreatTrain Robbery," filmed on the vastnew desert prairies. And try to geta place to see it! There was alonger line-up than for "Joan ofLorraine."

Phi Mu Delta nearly blocked Bea-con Street off with spectatorswatching them raise sail on theircraft for the pirate party. T'mafraid that for sheer magnitude ofeffort we all have to tip the topperto Social Chairman Jay Van Horneand his brothers. inside, the piratetheme was set by a huge, grinningskull over the band stand and someclever Jack Tarbox and "Bugs"Waldt cartoons, "Bugs" reciprocat-ing for Jack's help on dJijD lastweek. Incidentally, the band, Jor-dan Berman, who is new to theFraternity circuit, was very wellreceived.

At the Three Quarter CenturyConvocation Friday night theSigma Chis introduced Ed McLeodas Stonwin Hilchurch. Stonwin'sspeech didn't turn out to be an epic,but Joe Glascow, the master ofceremonies, spoke at lenigth on thecultural influences prevalent atmid-century, the "Struik Scare"and the Kinsey Report, etc.

As the sailing teams are not sup-posed to race these meets in theirown boats, Tufts sailed here lastSunday while our men were racingin Tufts' dinghys. In the elimina-tion meet at Tech, the three win-ning teams were Brown, Harvard,and Boston University in that order.

The six schools which qualifiedSunday, along with Coast Guard,Yale, Williams, and a tenth schoolnot yet selected, will sail at CoastGuard for the championship onMay 1.

The game began as a pitchingduel between Dixon and Thorrell ofB.U., but Tech took advantage ofThorrell's wildhess to send him tothe showers in the third inning.Five runs crossed the plate on threewalks, a hit batsman, an error andtwo singles, as the Beavers battedaround. The key blow was FredSylvester's hard single to left withthe bases loaded, driving in tworuns.

Four Runs in 6thTech added four more runs in the

sixth inning. Tony Zaia, leading off,reached first on an error by theshortstop. Lou Lee singled him tosecond and Reese reached first asthe pitcher threw wide to first ona bunt. This loaded the bases butonly momentarily as RonnieThompson unloaded a long drive toleft which the B.U. left fielder gothis glove on after a long run butcouldn't hold. This long singleknocked in one run with Lee beingcaught at the plate trying to scoreon the hit. Bill Rush and pitcherDixon then singled to drive In threemore runs.

Basehits and ErrorsDixon was well in control in the

first six innings, allowing but onehit, but weakened slightly in thelast three frames while pitchingwith a sore finger.-B.U. pitchersgave seven walks and hit one bat-ter, which didn't help their causeany.Tech fielding left much to bedesired; six errors contributedheavily to the B.U. scoring.-WadeGreer goes against Tufts at Medfordnext Friday.

Last Saturday the Tech lacrossesquad went down to a thumping de-feat before a powerful Dartmouthteam to the tune of 27-0. The Greensteamroller showed great strengtheven in their reserves, and at notime did the Technology ten offermore than token resistance. Dart-mouth stancs at the national num-ber one spot, and showed they hadwell earned their rating as theyhanded Ben Martin's boys theirsecond defeat of the season.

The Beavers suffered their firstcasualty of the season when DonLea received a fractured collarbonethat will put him out for the restof the season. By the time the sea-son closes there will probably bemore warming the bench due to in-juries if the murder and mayhemboys keep up their work.

By John Dixon

For the eighth consecutiveyear Harvard's oarsmen rowedoff with the coveted ComptonCup. Competing with Tech,Princeton, and Rutgers on achoppy Charles River last Sat-urday, Harvard captured everyrace for a clean sweep of theriver.

Weather conditions caused a twohour delay of the competition andalmost halted the racing com-pletely. Finally, at 4:30, the, fresh-man heavies hit the water and thefirst race started at 5:00 P.MI. .Astrong headwind and rain most ofthe afternoon made the winningtimes well off the record for theevent.

Tech Takes Early LeadTech's varsity crew took the lead

at the start but gave way to Har-vard and Princeton at the /4 milemarker. At Harvard Bridge, thecrimson of Harvard took a boat-length lead over Princeton's Tigersis the Engineers slipped to third.Rutgers was out of the running.Harvard maintained its lead with a30 stroke and finished a length andi half ahead of Princeton. Techinished third, four lengths behind.he winners. The winning time was):24.5 for the mile and three quar-ter course.

Freshman Race ExcitingThe freshmen crews offered the

nost excitement on the damp af-ternoon. The Tech shell was re-peatedly blown off the starting po-sition and was off its course as therace began. Harvard took an earlylead, expecting competition fromthe Princeton frosh. Tech, how-3ver, made up the length lost atthe start and forged ahead. -I'Beaver froesh led by a half lengthit the one mile mark with Harvardsecond and Princeton third.

However, over the last quarter,nile, Harvard raised its stroke,passed the Tech freshmen, and ledby several boat seats at the finish.Princeton finished third, two3engths behind. The winning timewas 10:19 with Tech' being clockedin 10:20 and Princeton in 10:26.

Princeton JV's LeadIn the jayvee competition, Prince-

ton broke on top and led over mostof the course. Harvard turned onsteam in the stretch and edged outthe Tigers by a half length, how-ever. The Crimson's closing strokewas a brilliant 38 and the fastestof the afternoon. Tech finishedthird with Rutgers last.

As the 150 pound races began,darkness was the primary handi-cap. The Harvard freshmen cap-tured their race over the Henley(a mile and 5/16) with a winningtime of 7 minutes, 9 seconds. Thelightweight jayvees raced in thissame contest along with the var-sity crews, Harvard again finishingin the lead. The Tech oarsmen hittwo buoys in the darkness andcracked an oar. The final race wascalled no contest because of dark-ness.

Baseball(Contitaued from Page 1)

Highlights and SidelightsMoulton had his slow stuff work-

ing well and had Lowell hitting intothe dirt continuously. With per-fect support Stan would have hada shutout . . . Outstanding defen-sive play of the game was MikeJohnson's nice stop on a hard hitball by Ducharme in the first in-ning... . Joe D'Annunzio had fourerrors but also contributed somegood plays on tough chances....Gene Lubarsky picked two men offthird base with good throws . . .NJortheastern's Huskies invadeBriggs Field tomorrow afternoon.

Architecture(Continued from Piage 1)

above the ground as yet, we de-cided to concentrate on the moregeneral aspects of the building. Itwas Intended, the dean informedus, to produce a closer associationof students and staff. In particu-lar, it is designed to provide a placewhere a young married instructor,perhaps working on a higher de-gree, could live for his first fewyears. While there, he could lookaround in the suburbs for a placeto live where he could raise chil-dren, away from the city, as wellas being close to all the Institutefacilities.

Then, the Dean continued, afterthe bhildren were grown and offto college, he could return and beclose to his work presumably tillhis dying day. "It's a whole newway of living," the Dean summedup.: Well, not that we wish to giveyou the idea that this was the ex-press purpose of the new building,but this does give you an idea ofthe possibilities it offers.

ConstructionMost of us are familiar with its

looks from the pictures and modelswhich we have seen. In particularthough, Dean Wurster pointed out

the advantages of the open angleeast wing and disconnected westwing towards defeating those twoever-present apartment problemsthe re-entrant view and the blockedsummer breeze.

The building should be quite ahandsome addition to the water-front, with its brick finish and theplay of light and shade due to thevaried form of the balconies. Itsbeauty will be evident even thoughyour childhood may be tinged bythe memory of a city apartmenthome with its long dark corridorsand ever-present odor of boiledcauliflower. Of course, this onewill be different, at least we cer-tainly hope so.
