All Nominees PresentPlatformsFor Class Elections February 2.

CLASS OF 1945 (10-44)

PRESIDENTKing Cayce: "Although social budgets are being cut, the demandfor social functions will continue to be voiced by fraternity men, aswell as Navy students and commuters. The need for smaller, less ex-pensive dances that everyone can afford will become apparent. Thesolution to this problem will lie in frequent, informal dances run by theclasses themselves-and possibly by student activities.

Robert H. Horsburgh: "In the few months remaining to the class of 10-44at the Institute I feel that now as never before there is need for unityand cooperation among its members and its factions. For service menand civilians, fraternity and commuters, there is need of a representativebody of class officers, among 'whose duties should be, numbered, factfinding and rumor dissipating of those matters so important to us allconcerning our remaining months at the Institute and thereafter."

John L. Hull: 1I am running for the office of President of the class of1945 for two reasons- -First,, I have a deep intuest in undergraduate cur-ricula, and I should like to keep our class activre, and important to theschool. Secondly, I feel -that I have had sufficient experience in schoolactivities to help accomplish the aims desired by the class and school."

INST. COMM. REP.Joseph Al. Aguila: "As long as I have been at Tech, I have been an in-teresting by-stander. After elections I will be either an interestedby-stander or an enthusiastic officer.. In either case, I hope to take partin the revival of class virit.

As far as policy is concerned, I alone cannot formulate one and seethat it is carried out. That is the duty of -the class officers as agroup, and my policy can only be to see that the leaders of the class workfor the best interests of the class."

Robert L. Hunter: "It is the specific function of the class instituteCommittee member to represent his class for the attainment of generalwell-being, bigger and better parties, and mutual support among allphases of Institute activities. I would endeavor to fulfill the aboveduties to the best of my ability should I be elected."

Shersing J. Lavani: "I -am in favor of promoting more class spiritand interest in class activities. I would like to see retained all -the activi-ties that precede graduation."'

ULASS OF 1946 (645)

PRESIDENTWalter E. Kulesa: "A coming problem. is the new freshman class whichwill be admitted in February. They will be few in number and I am underthe impression that this incoming class will feel slightly inconvenienced.It will be the duty of the Junior class to create class spirit and unityamong these new students. A Field Day seems doubtful, yet I feel thatsomething approaching a Field Day should be inaugurated."

Gerald L. MacKinnon, Jr.: "The President's most important duty isto act as chairman of the Junior Prom Committee. My experience as amember of the Frosh-Soph Dance Committee and as Treasurer of theSophomore Prom definitely puts me to such a position. I have profitedwell by the mistakes in the past and shall to the best of my abilityprevent them from being made again."

T.C.A. Marriage TalksAgain Shatter Record

Breaking rby over one hundred therecord set last week, more thantwelve hundred students packedHuntington Hall Tuesday afternoonfor the second in the winter seriesof T.CA. Marriage Lectures by Pro-fessor F. Alexander Magoun of theDivision of Humanities. ProfqerMagoun's topic this week was "Pre-Marital Sex Problems."

A conservative estimate places theattendance at the 4:00 P. M. sessionat between 725 and 750. SinceHuntington Hall seats only 523,many students had to sit on thestairs or stand along the walls dur-ing the lecture. There were nostandees at the 5:00 P. M. lecture,but all the seats were filled. Thecrowd at the early session was solarge that it became necessary tostation janitors in the corridors todivert the latecomers to the reardoors of the hall.

EVERY VOTE IS NEEDEDThe number of nominations submitted for next Wednes-

day's elections shows that, for a change, the student body mayactually be interested in who their officers next year will be. Asmentioned in a previous editorial this is only the first step; thesecond step is to actually go to the polls next week and vote.

So far the Navy men, both V-12 freshmen and Lehigh trans-fers, have shown the best unity and spirit. The freshmen haveorganized into a party, drawn up a platform, chosen their candi-dates and started an active campaign to rouse their fellow stu-dents to vote for them. Their platform shows that they recognizemany of the undergraduate shortcomings and intend to remedythem. The former Lehigh men now of the Technology Class of6-45 have chosen one of their men to run for President. Theytoo have shown good organization and spirit.

If these candidates get all their men out to vote they havean excellent chance to win the election even though they com-prise only a small portion of their respective classes. In that casethey would deserve to have their candidate win, for it is thegroup that is willing to work for something that should attain it.

These two cases have merely been taken as examples to tryand impress upon the students the fact that they will have to dothe voting themselves, rather than sit back and expect someoneelse do it for them, if they want their preferred men to get theclass offices.. From what has been seen so far of the contrast ofLehigh spirit to Technology spirit, it might not be a bad idea tohave these men manage undergraduate affairs for a change.

A.S.T.P SECTIONIf you turn to the back page or have already done so you

will notice a new addition to The Teech. In this A.S.T.P. Section,the news is covered, written, and arranged entirely by membersof the Unit stationed at the Institute. The men who do this arefor the most part former college students who were active on thepublications of their school before entering the Army.

'We welcome this section and its staff to the regular make-upof The Tech because we feel it fills an unwarranted gap in fournews coverage. Our aim is to cover all the news of the Instituteand its students, and the Army men stationed here have becomean important part of Technology. They are just as character-istically a part of wa'rtime Technology as freshman P.T. and thedorms were of pre-war Technology.

We hope that this will just be the start of the active par-ticipation of the Army men in all of the Institute's undergraduateactivities. The activities need Army men to be really repre-sentative of the student body and we trust that these men willderive some pleasure and aid from working with us.

EDITORIAL BOARDVolume LXIV of The Tech is pleased to announce the

election of the f ollowing men to its editorial board: Cortlandt F.Ames, King Cayce, Gabe E. deRoetth, H. Bruce Fabenls, WilsonN. Gilliat, John L. Hull, R~obert L. Hunter, Herbert F. Knape,Gilbert K. Krulee, and Peter L. Quattrochi.

IIn reading the lists of the mem-

bers of the larger activities hereat Technology you will certainlyencounter the name of Lamar Fieldmany times. Wlho is this personwho is so active in so many variedfields? Ask anyi man on the campusand every one of them will give youa different answer. Some will iden-tify him as head of this organiza-tion, some as a member of that,and others as a Course V man ex-traordinlary. The Spotlight will tryto present a true picture of themany facets of Lamar's varied ac-tivities.

Like the famous Ty Cobb, Lamaris a native of Anniston, Alabama.He entered the Institute, as did theother surviving members of theClass of 2-44, in the fall of 1940.He chose Delta Tau Delta as hisfraternity and now is president ofthe Technology chapter. Thesewere the inauspicious beginnings ofthe Field saga.

Was The Tech Head

Lamar joined The Tech businessstaff early in his career at the In-srtitute and rose to the position ofGeneral Manager of Volume XaIII,a job in which he distinguishedhimself.

In his Freshman and Sophomoreyears Lamar won the Boit prize forone of the best essays written bymembers of either of those classes,one of the first students to win ittwice in a row. In his Sophomore

LAMAR FIELD

year Field was elected to Alpha ChiSigma, the chemistry honorary fra-ternity. AS a Junior he was electedvice-president of -this society, andlast year he became president, aposition which he now -fills.

At the present time Lamar ischairman of the Senior Week Com-mittee, a member of Gridiron andthe Chemical Society. Until re-cently he served as a member ofthe Executive Committee of the In-stitute Committee, governing bodyof the Institute's student govern-ment system. He has the unusualdistinction of -being one of the direc-tors of the Harvard Cooperative So-ciety. In addition he wears thecoveted symbol of Osiris, the Seniorhonorary society.

Played Field Day Football

In the world of sports Lamar hasnot been inactive. He was a mem-ber of the F-reshman Field Day foot-ball team and served on the rifleteam his first year at the Institute.He also was a member of the fenc-ing squad for both his Freshmanand Sophomore years.

In addition to all the above-mentioned honors Field is also astudent of music (graduate of Professor D. M. Fuller's famous musiccourse) and a veteran of Boy Scouttrips a-broad and at home, whichhave undoubtedly -helped him tosurvive the fuelless cold of Bostonwinters, a far cry from his nativeSouth.

With the graduation of LamarField Technology will lose one ofits most active students. No morewill the night watchmen, on lonelyvigil through darkened halls, passhim wending his way back to theDelt House, puffing contentedly onhis pipe, this books -under his armsand the faint aroma of them chemlab clinging to his coat.

Twelve Remnainl InWalker Competitio-n

Only twelve candidates remain ofthe original thirty-five who startedin the annual Walker MemorialCommittee competition early lastweek. From these twelve, about sixwill be chosen to be members ofthe Walker Memorial Committee.The results will be announced inthe next issue of The Tech.

what activities mean to the stud-ents, and what the functions ofthese committees are. If I amelected I will try to even betteractivities to build up a school spirit,which has -been lacking a little inthe past, and also to brinig thefaculty in closer conjunction withthe students."

|CLASS OF 1947 (246)| ~PRESIDENT

|Wi liam C. Cahill: "In these un-certain times, maintenance of tradi-tions such as Field Day is to be

{furthered as much as possible. Be-cause of the complexity of hiddenand unsuspected problems, no clear-{cut policy can be determined. I,|however, pledge myself, if elected,to perform to the best of my profi-ciency any and all duties imposed

Iupon me by my classmates."|Edmund V. Claxton: "In the sixmonths I have spent at Tech, sev-eral aspects of student life havesurprised, and in some respects|greatly annoyed me. There seemsto be little semblance of any realclass organization, and the con-|sequential state of affairs certainlyadds more fuel to the already wide-lspread belief in the "factory-like"Iatmosphere of our school."

|Robert A. Grady: "Some ideas al-|ready proposed to make this classmore unified and friendly, which I

{heartily endorse, are: several ill-|expensive, informal dances besides{the regular Soph Prom; monthlymeetings of the class to promotefriendship and new ideas; intra-mural sports between Navy and ci-|vilian sections to help unify thesegroups; a column in The Tech tokeep the class aware of all classactivities; a campaign to increaseIschool spirit."

|Stuart G. Farnum: "Business as|usual has proved itself in MIT{activities; let's continue the policy.Let's provide the incoming fresh-men with flaming red ties and give

*}the fresh an opportunity to prove;}themselves in a rowdy, well-plansnedLEsield Day. Let's shoot the works'.and make next year's SophomoreProm a bang-up affair, with the

lbest band available. With complete.cooperation between Navy and civil-lian groups, let's make our Sopho-.more year a really active year. Wehav the chance. Let's do it!"

John F. Marr: "I am in favor ofifreshmen ties. The Quadrangle

L Club should continue to exist during,the war to. enforce this measure.rAlso, the V-12 freshmen should be,distinguished from the advanced,Navy students. I realize that Navyregulations forbid the wearing of

.red and gray ties, but stickers onjrthe outside of their books would be.a bood substitute. This idea is en-,dorsed by the present QuadrangleClub."

SECRETARY-TREASURER

,-Patrick E. Volvan: "As a group thefrshe are probably younger and

.-perhaps less experienced thanusual. Realizing this I believe thatwe should endeavor to cooperate

r with the school administration evenmore than in the past in order togain friendship, advice, and counseland thereby avoid many mistakeswe might otherwise make."S

t Roger P. Sonnabend: "I believe thatr the Secretary-Treasurer of thet Sophomore class can, with the other1 class officers, be of considerable helpY to various Tech committees in get

ting in all. Sophomores more inter-ested in Tech and its extraceurriculaactivities. Navy class officers es-pecially would be of value in al?-complishing this, since, as the num-ber of civilian Sophomores decrease,activities will become more and moredependent on Navy interest-inter-est, which up to now has not beenproperly stimulated ard which hasbeen noticeably dormant.

INST. COMM. REP.

John C. Adams, Jr.: "At this time,it is, in my opinion, almpst impos-sible for a candidate for a classoffice to state any definite policies.for no one can foresee what ques-tions will arise during the tenureof office.. Our class should continueto support all activities and :ath.letics so long as it is compatible withwartime conditions. Or, these funda-|mental questions I shall attempt to}present the true sentiments of theINavy and civilians in the class."

!|James S. Craig: "I believe that a,{balanced proportion of Navy and,{civilian officers on the InstituteL Committee, backed by active parti*{cipation by all students in the ac-,}tivities themselves, would bring a. new cooperative spirit at Tech andwould supply the needed interes-tIto a governing body.

|Hillman Dickinson: "There will be;}trying times for all of us and alE|of us will have to work seriollsly}and ardently if we are to keep alive

;|those traditions and customs which,{were given to us. This should be! our goal for the coming year, andin achieving this goal we -find we|have achieved class unity and

.Ispirit."S

|Thomas J. Donnelly: "'A well plan-ned 246 class meeting every monlt'a

Richard S. Mooney: "Since I havecome to Tech, I have found thatthere could be a closer unity be-tween the civilians and the newNavy members of our class. I thinkthat this could be remedied by hav-

Eager Beaver,Demons LeadArmy League

Barflies, Demons BeatSnafus and DevildogsWednesday Evening

T~he AST basketball league com-pleted its second week Wednesdayevening with the Eager Beavers ofCompany A tied for first with theDemons of Company D. Both teamsmade a clean sweep of their oppo-nents to date and show promise forthe future. Officially known as theASTU 1141 Basketball League, it isunder the direction of Lt. Robert-son, unit sports officer. The leagueis scheduled to run its series 'ofdoubleheaders for about five moreweeks at the rate of two a week.

Barflies Slap Down SnafusWednesday evening's twin bill

was opened by a thriller betweenthe Barflies of Company B and theSnafus of Company A. The gamewas close until the latter part ofthe second half when the Barfliescut loose some power plays to sweepup a victory of 21-12. Loeser ofthe Barflies was high scorer for theevening with 10 points. Deutch ac-counted for 6 points of the Snafus'11. The second game was an evenlymatched affair which ended withthe Demons of Company D ekingout a one point win to top theDevil Dogs of the same company,12-11. Mullaly of the Demons sup-plied 8 points to his team's total,while Kluge donated four to theDevil Dogs.

Plumbers Can't Stop LeakThe doubleheader began Monday

evening with a 23 to 8 washout ofthe Plumbers of Company B by asmooth working ROTC team. Al-though beaten the first week, theCompany C team staged a well-played offensive against the Plumb-ers who, although they showedplenty of power, were unable to useenough teamwork to make theirplays count.

Company C-What happened to C' Cora-

And some it ap-pears are getting more than theOCS they bargained for, with "dryruns" on Sunday afternoon andmore orientation films on "Why WeFight."

Congress DebatesSevere ReductionOf A.S. T. ProgramThe House Military Affairs Com-

mittee, in a special closed sessionthis week, may recommend severereduction or complete abolition ofa large part of the Army SpecializedTraining Program as a means ofpreventing the induction of 200,000pre-war fathers.

A survey made of members of theCommittee indicated strong senti-ment against continuing the pro-gram at present rates, with the pos-sible exception of medical and den-tistry students.

In order to add weight to theirrecommendation, the committee isconsidering asking the House Appropriations Committee to cut offfurther funds for the progran.

The Military Committee's recom-mendations would not affect theseparate programs for training en-gineers and men for Military Gov-ernment abroad. It would, however,have an effect on -about 140,000soldiers now in colleges studyinglanguages, psychology, medicine,dentistry, surgery and many othersubj ects.

Including officer personnel neces-sary for training and maintenanceof the program, the committee esti-mated at least 150,000 soldier-students would be released for com-bat duty if the program were dis-continued. The Navy's V-12 unitwould supply 60,000 additional men.

In an editorial comment Wednes-day, the BOSTON HERALD hintedthat the Committee's recommenda-tions were propagated by campaignambitions and suggested that themilitary Leaders take the initiativein making the decision regardingthe training program's importance.

Colonel PalmerSays 141,000Now In ASTP

16,800 Men Are InAdvanced EngineeringSection Of Program

At a meeting of the AmericanAssociation of Physics Teachers inNew York City a few weeks ago.several disclosures concerning theASTP were made Iby the DeputyDirector of the ASTP, Colonel Theo-dore de Cue Palmer.

As of the first of the year, therewere enrolled in the -basic training72,000 men; inadvanced engineer-ing, 16,800; in area and languagefields, 13,00; in medicine and pre-professional fields, 21,900; and abalance of 18,000 in personnel psy-chology, ROTC, and the 17-year-oldreserves.

A few examples of assignmentswhich might be expected after thecompletion of the ASTP trainingwere given in Colonel Palmer'sspeech. Among those were Armyairplane and engine men, artillerymechanic (anti-aircraft, light, andheavy), Diesel engine work, meter-ologi-st, electronics work, and con-trol station opexator (anti-aircraftsearchlight battery).

Another point brought out in thespeech which should be of interestto all trainees is a mention of theaverage rate of attrition for thethree summer months of June, Julyand August. The average rate ofattrition was about 20 per cent forthe whole program, although therates for individual schools ranefrom 5 per cent to) 40 per cent, de-pending upon the standards at theparticular institution.

Colonel Palmer has evidenced hisbelief that this war will be a long-and bitter struggle. Most of themen now in the ASTAP will see s-erv-ice overseas, and there is a strongpossibility that many of those willbecome casualties, according to thecolonel. 'However, he also adds thatno effort is being spared in givingthem the preparation necessary fortheir job.
