"Vu", M.I.T.'s Pictorial Magazine,opens its new year with a bigtwenty four page issue. This issue,first of three, will be published dur-ing the week of December 7. Thestaff expects an even better yearthan last year, when over fifteenhundred copies were sold.

This issue features "Technique"the undergraduate year book. Itwill picture the book in its variousstages and also will give a previewof this year's annual. The manysteps through which a book of thissort must pass before printing willbe depicted, and the persons thatdo the work are to be shown.

Field Day is being given a largeportion of this issue and there willbe many pictures of the variousdances that have been held aroundthe Institute this year.

A novel feature is to be a seriesof profiles of prominent persinstaround the Institute which will t~estyour knowledge of Institute big-wigs. The finest paper museum inthis part of the country is right hereat the Inlstitute and "'Vu"' will pic-ture it in this issue.

Tnhere will be three large issuesthis year. They will be publishedduring the first week of December,March and May. Al of them willbe larger and will contain more pic-tures than last year's issues. Anextensive program is planned andwill include every item of interestat the Institute in these three is-sues. No extra copies are beingprinted this year, so it is expectedthat the magazine will sell out as itdid last year.

Students Urged ToAnswer Camp Poll

All students who received ques-tionnaires on Freshman Camp fromthe T.C;A. are urged to fill themout and return them as soon aspossible. The only way in whichthe camp can be improved in thefuture is through applying correc-tions shown to be needed by thepoll of the students who attended.

The questionnaire, seeking infor-mation as to how the FreshmanCamp on the campus can be im-proved, has been sent to the fresh-men who attended and to the coun-selors who were there by HEarry Ot-tinger, Jr., '43, chairman of theFreshman Camp Investigating Com-mittee.

In the letter accompanying thequestionnaire Ottinger states, "Thedifficulties imposed upon the T.CA.by the war and the accompanyingmaterial and transportation short-ages made it necessary that thecamp be held on the campus thisyear, az you already know. Be-cause it was something new andbecause we feel that it will be withus for at least a few years to come,we believe that there is much roomfor necessary improvement in thisCamp on campus."

In a newsection of the Technique, there willbe presented a new idea which inthe words of Robert C. Meissner,'43, General Manager (of Technique,is "novel as hell and looks damngood." O~f course it can't be re-vealed just what this new idea isbut it is -enough said to say that thishas never been done before by anypublication, and the whole idea has

The M. I. T. Debating Society in-creased its number of victories bywinning last Friday by an over-whelming score a varsity debatefrom Clark University.

Lee Hanower, 145, George M. Kel-ler, Jr., '45, and John W. Colton '45,Technology's representatives, tookthe affirmative side of the resolu-tion "Resolved; that the UnitedNations should establish a perma-

the race for Professor Magoun's cup. Address M eetingLast year's entries featured the ap-

ton, '45, fell short of reality becausethe audience took too much ad-vantage of the humerous interrup-tions. Eleanor C. Edwardson, '47,in the part of Gay Wellington, theinebriated actress, added much tothe humor during the second act.

Also playing a difficult part ex-cellently was George F. Coons, '46,as the grand father Martin Vander-hof. Other members of the castwere: Marion H. Perris, 345, as theaspirant toe dancer, Essie; LenoreE. Brooks, 45, as Rheba, the cook;I. Leon Schwartz, 'd5, as Ed Carsmichael, Essie's husband; Philip R.Jonsson, '46, as Donald, the butler;Geoffrey Robillard, '44, as the in-come tax collector, Henderson; Law-rence B. Van Ingen, '46, as theRussian dancing teacher, Kolen-klov; Leonard W. Katz, '43, anldJoan T. Rothwell, graduate student,as Tony's mother and father, Mr.and Mrs. Kirby; the Russian coun-tess Olgo was enacted by Mary ZGuinan, 144.

According to Gunther H. Baldauf,,44, business manager, around 300people saw the play. Director Pro-fessor Dean M. Fuller and his as-sistant L. Gerald Firth, '43, are duea great deal of the credit for theplay's success.

The M.I.T. Dramashop made avery promising opening for its sea-son with the presentation of "YouCan't Take It With You" last Fri-day and Saturday nights at thePeabody Playhouse in Boston.

Despite the fact that the play hadbeen in rehearsal only four weeks,it was acclaimed one of the bestproduced by Dramashop. Althougha large majority of the audiencehad seen other productions of thestory, there were many interestingadditions and subtractions renderedimpromptu by the cast that madethe show livlier than most profes-sional productions.

The Cast Does Well

Frieda S. Omansky, '46, playingthe part of Penelope Sycamore, thegushing author - painter - mother,gave one of the finest performancesof the evening. Jasper D. Ward,'45, was a well-chosen Paul Syca-more, the juvenile father, who hada mania for fire-works. His cohortin the fire-works production, Mr. dePinna, was very well portrayed byHarold A. Miller, '44.

The point is, however, that the I amount of money in an activity4should not determine its status, Aor B, and should not be directlyproportional to the number of mem--bers. An activity of but a fewmembers would certainly not becondemned for over zealousness orselfishness if it should accept asizable financial endowment fromsome outside source. Why thenshould an activity be criticized forsuccessfully running an affair thatsatisfied lall who took part in it, butrather unfort~unately(?) turned outto be a financial success? A clubthat has the initiative and abilityto secure for itself a lucrativebudget should be entitled to dis-burse the money it makes for itsown best interests.

Activities here at Tech are co-existent under the guidance andsupervision of the Institute Com--mitteee to prevent clashes of inter-est between different organizations.Therefore, it is but proper thatThe Tech, an activity which is it-self under the jurisdiction of theInstitute Committee should edit itsconvictions about striking wrongscommitted by a brother activity.However it is not right to accuseactivities of "slipshod accounting"without backing up such a state-ment with some sort of proof. Themighty pen of an editor should berestrained from this depredationof character printed in such a non-committal form. Such desultoryremarks as those that appeared inlast Friday's editorial are unanswer-able because of their broadness.L~et us have complaints combinedwith reason and not those com-plaints that limp onto the publicstage unaided by crutches, and sofall; for some there are who seethe fall and know the actor tto bea phoney, but those less wide awaketurn their attention to some otherstage and remain forever impressedwith the crippled actor's prowess.

of fi~ve years.The All-Tech Simi ~rsps a always regarded as one

of the main social events of the year and wcas held at one of the

maajor class dances. It served several functions then as it shouldnow. In the ~first place it promoted an interest in music whichmis h~ealthful for a collegiate group, in the second it gave the dif-ferent groups ;a chance to sirow off their talent in singing theirown songs, and in the third it was one competition in which allgroups could part~icipate upon a comparatively equal basis. Inaddition to the singing competition, the society is again hold-

ing a dance afterward so that the spectators and contestants canmake it a real social event.

Nlo stiff rules and regulations have been formaulated so thatt~he form of the competing team and its selection of song are en-tirely lef t to the choice of the individual entrants. Trxick ar-rangements and novelties can easily have their p~lace along withschool, fraternity, and other songs. The selection can be, as ithas in the past, as important as the quality oi the renadition,wNithin reason of course.

Som~e group is going to win a loving cup to adorn a mantel-piece, but everybody who participates or spectates should havea good time at tlhis musical get-together.

WHER1EE DID THE, BE-AVER GO?

Every year the Beaver Club f aces the problem of findinga suitable project for its inlitiates to undertake. This year theetask becomes evident as the very name of the honorary societybrings to the attention of the student body that T~echnology hasno beaver! This deplorable state was magnified last year whenthe present members of the club mazde a heroic but unsuaccessfulattempt to provi'de Technology with a real live beaver.

AFs the stay of the venerable Seniors shortens, the new menmust snatch the torch f rom. the f umbling hands of the presentmemenbers whose enthusiasm so pitifully lapsed into lethargy.This they must do in order that the black mark brought uponthe Beaver Club may be forever erased and so that athletic teamsrepresenting Technology on the field of battle may have somesort of inspiration to urge them on to greater things.

All schools have a mascot, usuaally in the animal kingdom,which represent the tenor of the school's esprit de corp. We~have the Beaver, nature's engineer, commonly referred to on thiscampus as the "3Bronze Rat." It is a fine state of affairs whenthe school mascot is looked down upon by its own memabers. Notonly is our beaver slightly in ill-repute, but it exists solely onpaper and the senior rring.,

It is possible, and we hope probable, that the latest additionsto Beaver Club may havt the required energy to carry out themission which their predecessors began so magnificently andended in such infamy. The students of Teehnology are tiredof words. They wrant to see the real thing.

For those who prefer to taketheir entertainment in a more re.laxed way, there was the Drama.shop production of the Broadwayhit "You Can't Take It With You."'This, although not quite as polishedas it was at its last showing onBroadway, was deserving of atleast two bells in anyone's column.This play with slight changes inscript known only to those who hadmemorized the original was givenagain on Saturday night. Not manypeople saw it twice, but enoughpeople enjoyed it each evening tomake it a huge success for theDramashop, as well as an excellentway for anyone to spend a pleas-ant evening.

Among the fraternity dances,Alpha Tau Omega took over Fry'sbarn in Brookline Friday night andput on aquite a dance. There issomething about the fall, and thespirit of it that lends to a barrndance this time of year. The hayride from the bus stop on theWorcester Turnpike to the barnabnout a quarter of a mile away isanother innovation for fraternitydances, which although broughtabout by the unpleasantness of galrationing, is still a rather pleasantformr of transportation over shortdistances.

The K~appa Sigma's at theirhouse on Bay St~ate Road becamethe first house to break out theirformal togs in defianace of the ]In,stitute Commifttee and the Lcrter,Fraternity Conference and holdtheir house dance formal. Trhisdance, their annual punc~h bowl,has always been a good dance Ofwide repute, and proved to be nolet down this year for those peopleattending. This dance- also gavemany men a chance to make surethat their tails and tuxes wouldstill fit, and gave them ample OP'portunity to have them refitted forthe Junior Prom next Friday night-

Last weekend was a rather excit-ing one around the Institute withmany places for boys to play. Fri-day night had three things forthose who could attend. Most ex-clusive party of the evening washeld by The Tech at the StateBowling Alleys on Burbank Street,Boston, where the paper had thealleys reserved for the evening for,

as to require a single digit to givethe figures on those who have ap-plied. The plan is set up so thatas f ew ears as possible will be em-ployed to get the largest numberof people to their destination. Eachperson with a car is requested tofill out a sheet on which the route,time of departure, and capacity ofcar should be given. The driverwould not have to go out of his wayor change his time of traveling toaccommodate his government anda few fellow Americans. The T.C.A.will arrange the canipooling so thatall that is required of Mr. Driveris the application of his brakes atone or two corners. Just becauseyou have new tires and enough gasto get to work this fortunate situ-ation does not mean that theseprivileges be used to the last dropof gas and the last blowout. Here'sa chance to help win the war andat the same time to meet a f ew ofyour neighbors. All that is requiredis a short trip to the T.C.A. officein order tD ffll out the informatilonsheet.

Although Bob Meny, '44, lead thefield in scoring 181/2 points for hisclass, this was not quite enough tobeat the concentrated efforts of theSenior five. The class of 1944 camein third with a total of 55 pointsand the Class of 1945 ended theday in fourth place with 30 points.

races. The second and third place

teams were likewise placed in fourteam groups.

This set up unlike other regattasgave the second and third placeteams a chance to winl a consola-tion regatta in the afternoon andmore important, a chance to sailwhere otherwise they would be on

.the shore watching the others race.

A Dozen Teams EnterA dozen New England colleges

entered the regatta with threecrews. The groups were arrangedaccording to the teams' showingthis Fall. After each race, thecrews changed boats by teams toeliminate the chance of one crewpossessing a fast boat for the wholeregatta.

T~he Tech fencing team under theexpert coaching of Joe Levis, for-rmer Olympic champion, has beenshaping up in the last month'spractice in preparation for thisyear's stiff schedule.

According to Larry Churchill,manager of the varsity team, "theteam will undoubtedly win most ofits bouts this year although wehave one of the biggest schedulesever faced by a Tech fencing team.

Three Letter Men Lost"We lost three letter men, Hinch-

man, Kellogg, and Nowak, throughgraduation last year, but we havegained quite a few good men fromlast year's freshman squad whohave had previous years of experi-ence."

The following is the schedule ofthe varsity fencing matches:

The final round-robin tourney ofthe current Beaver Key schedule

inched two steps closer to comple-

Of the last five squads in the round-robin, only SAE, Senior A, and Sen-

brackets. Of these, SAE reigns as

the favorite to retain the touch

football crown it captured last year.The week to come will match SAEagainst both Senior B and Theta

Miatches Begin at 5:10 P.M.|

Weighing will start any time after4:00 P.M. and matches will beginat 5: 10 P.M. All entries will beaccepted up to the time of thematch. John Lutz, coach of the,team stated in his office last night,"We are wide open for any men inthe 121 pound, 175 pound, and theheavyweight classes. Experience isnot necessary, come out and findout just for the fun of it."

During the regular wrestling ses- sions, held every Monday, Wednes-Iday, and Friday, Coach Lutz giveshis men pointers on the sport. Afterhis lessons the boys hold boutsamong themselves and he goesaround correcting their holds and improving their technique.

Varsity Meets Tufts First

The first varsity meet will be withTufts at Tech on December 3. ThisImeet will be closely followed by oneagainst Harvard on the fifth, andon the twelfth of the same monththe team will travel to Middletown,Connecticut to grapple with Wes-leyan College, the inter-collegiatechamps.

Last year's wrestling squad wasrecognized as Tech's best group inltwelve years and the freshmenteams were undefeated for twoyears so that Tech's chances of-making wrestling history are al-most a surety. The team still lacksmaterial in certain weights which!should be made up by the time theseason opens.

"You fellows," said the coach,"who are looking for some sport toget into, will find wrestling a worth-while accomplishment. We helpyou to co-ordinate your muscles and'to use your body to the best ad-vantage. I repeat, we are lookingifor fellows, and we'll help to buildyou up, so come out for the team."

Carpenter Back In Game

Captain Warren Carpenter wasback in the lineup and played avery good game despite the injuriesthat had kept him out of the gamewith Tufts. The Tech line-up wasas follows: goalie, Jim Libby; full-backs, Miles Coverdale and MalcolmMcFaull; halfbacks, Warren Car-penter, Bill Richardson, and EdChapin; forwards, Tom Moose, BillIhde, Hugh Slawson, Bill Abbott,and Ralph LaVallee.

Although the team started theseason slowly it played a very goodgame against last year's cham-pion's, Springfield, and tied Tuftslast week.

Team To Take Trips IThe Technology team makes I

quite a few trips to compete against |Other colleges. The most outstand-|ing of which are to Yale in New|Haven, to Hamilton in Clinton, and to Cornell in Ithica.

There are twenty-one men out forvarsity posts and a total of thirty-two aspirants for the freshmancompetitive team. "Although,"said Larry, "these men are ham- ]pered by the fact that they have to ifence in the basement of the new!dorms, they have been able to over- icome this obstacle to a great extentand are doing rather well.

Frosh See Good Season Ahead"The freshmen, practicing three

days a week, are on the road to a,good season. They have an ad-vantage over most colleges in thatfive of their number have had oneto five years' previous training andhave already fenced competitively.With these boys as a nucleus thefreshman squad should not havemuch trouble with other colleges."

The schedule for the class of1946 team is now in the last stepsof make-up. The first meet will beheld late in February to assure aImaximnum amount of time for thefreshman practices.
