110 to Tour MIT Von Hippel Leaves NROTC Prof. Lowell Head

High School CounselorsTo Attend Meeting Here

Over 100 high school college advisers will be coming to MIT nextThursday and Friday in the fourth annual Guidance Conference. Whilehere, they will tour the Institute, hear addresses by deans and admin-istration leaders, and present their own views of guidance problems inforums and panel discussions.

This program, under the direction of Mr. Robert Weatherall of theAdmnissions Office, is designed both to advertise the Institute and togive guidance officers basic information on college selection procedures.Among the programs scheduled for the visitors are talks by Deans Bel-luschi, Brown, Brooks, and Harrison on the concept o0 scientific educa-tion; a discussion of Russian scientific education by Prof. Sanborn Brown;and an address by President Stratton at the Faculty Club.

The guidance counsellors will also participate in panel discussions.Somne of the topics to be covered include financial aids, modern languages,the Advanced Placement program and revisions of high school sciencecurricula. There will also be several panels on the guidance and selectionprocesses at MIT, during which the cousellors will present their ownviews of the problems involved.

A high point of the two-day program is a luncheon on Thursday,October 8th, at which each visitor will be accompanied by an MIT studentfrolm his own home town or neighborhood. It has been found in previousconferences that some of the most fruitful exchanges occur at this lunch-con wdith the students.

The counsellors come from all parts of the country. Their hotel bills,and all travel expenses above $50, are being paid by the Admissions

Office.Weatherall states that the beneficial effects of the first three con-

ferences are clearly seen whenever a member of the MIT Admissions Officevisits a local high school. These visits are another phase of the "ad-vertisement and information" program. About thirty faculty members andsix admissions officers spend one week each year visiting high schoolsthroughout the country. Each representative visits about fifteen schoolsin his area in that week. They find that a definite rapport has beenestablished in those schools whose college advisor has visited MIT duringthe Guidance Conference.

Beatosophy Flourish at Walker;Acquaintance Dance Planned

The Beat Spirit which lies at the heart of every MIT student willcome to the fore this October 17th, when the Walker Staff will holdits first IDC-Beatnik-Acquaintance Dance-Party. This far far out event,something unique in the history of the Institute, will feature "swinging"records and an abundant supply of chicks from all the girls' schools inBoston.

All cats are requested to bring their own guitars, bongos, and es-presso mugs. Those who wish to sit should bring their own pads, butorang e crates will be provided for conformists. In addition to espresso,cgars and raw fruit will be sold as refreshments.

Walker Memorial should be unrecognizable when the Walker Staffgets finished redecorating. The front steps and columns will be trans-fornied into an alleyway, and the murals will be covered up with samplesof student Staff Dadaism.

N:s for dress, the members of Walker Staff are now selling blackturtle-neck "beat shirts" for $1.50 apiece. The rest of the costume shouldbe as beat as possible.

It is rumored that a high point of the evening's entertainment willbe poetry readings by a well-known member of the Humanities Depart-,ment.

Tickets for this event, along with the beat-shirts, will be on saler. the lobby of Building Ten starting October 13th. Tickets cost $1.25singly, or a season ticket for the 7 IDC's may be purchased for $6.

Diet) and DisagreementTo THE EDITOR:

When, many years ago (or so it seems), Mr. Franken-nuis joined your staff, I was mildly elated. I disagreed withmost of his reviews, thought him a fairly bad critic, andfound him somewhat autocratic. However, he was inter-esting and knew something of the English language. Inthese two respects he was a vast improvement over hispredecessor - therefore, my elation.

As time has gone by, he has repeatedly shown a lack ofknowledge concerning the things he has reviewed. He hasoften shown, also, an unwillingness to learn about the cul-tural heritage of the country producing the picture. Thisis inexcusable in a critic.

In the case of "Porgy and Bess", only one of his criti-cisms is true; the one concerning the "still-life" appear-ance of the set during musical numbers. This, however,is on purpose, as Mr. Frankenhuis would know had helooked into the opera's background. (I have done this,and seen it.)

My true reason for this letter is to demand, as one of thefast shrinking minority (you published the figures lastyear) who actually pay for your poor excuse for a paper,that Mr. Frankenhuis be replaced. Any critic who has soconfused himself with the Deity to state that no one whohas seen the picture ever disagrees with his review does notdeserve to be backed by even so poor a paper as yours.

In hopes that you will soon be a fairly accurate news-paper - the first step being a new critic-

eherehez la femmeWere you dateless last weekend? If so, this weekend is

your chance to remedy this situation. Yes, men, girls wantto meet YOU!!! This Friday and Saturday evenings manylocal girls schools are participating in the mixer madnesswhich is dominating the Boston college scene. For a pleas-ant mixer weekend try the following recipe.

At eight o'clock Friday evening, arrive at Zero Marl-borough Street (Boston), the home of the Katharine GibbsSchool. These girls usually present outstanding mixers,but don't arrive too late, for their social rooms are quitesmall. The four hundred sixty Gibbs girls, who have oftenspent a year at such schools as Smith and U. Mass., rangein ages between seventeen and twenty-four this fall.

After Gibbs, slip over to 411 Commonwealth Avenueuntil midnight for the Garland Junior College dance: Gar-land girls really know how to plan a mixer. Their band,entertainment, and refreshments are always excellent. Dressin conservative Ivy League fashion and prepare your con-versation to oscillate between Yale weekends and Bermuda.Garland is a combined junior college-finishing school, andthe girls are usually extremely attractive and quite charm-ing. How this nearby school has avoided mention in theSocial Beaver is certainly a mystery.

Saturday evening the MIT Freshman (in name only)Acquaintance Dance, "Pleased to MIT You", will be heldat Walker Memorial. In past years, upperclassmen haveentered this dance and absconded with many of the girls.

For a really promising Saturday evening, go Wellesley.Yes, Wellesley dormitories are having their open houseacquaintance dances. At least four houses plan to partici-pate this weekend, and other houses will follow in weeksto come. One benefit to freshman Techmen at Wellesleyis that a man can tell that a girl is a freshman if she isnwearing a yellow name badge. One of the finest andlargest women's colleges in the nation, Wellesley has girlsto satisfy every man's dating tastes, so don't be surprisedif you have to elbow your way through a few Harvard andYale students to attain a vantage point near the dance floor.If the competition is keen at these dances (which is oftenthe case), you might suggest having a coke at the "Well"to your dancing partner.

Although it is better to have invitations to these mixers,invitations are certainly not a necessity. So Good Hunting.

Crime and PunishmentLast year at least seven MIT students left school as a

result of the administrative boot. In each case the "requestto withdraw" came as a result of deliberations held entirelywithin the administration. The offenses were mostly thefts;generally of Institute property. Because the offenderscarried on their activities outside of a particular dormitoryor living group, their cases did not "fit" into the scheme ofstudent judicial committees. They were handled in theDean's office, and here were the decisions of expulsionmade.

We as students must realize that the ultimate authorityfor decisions of such consequence lie, and rightfully so,with the Dean of Students. Yet, wve cannot help but ques-tion the measures which have been taken in the past; disci-pline for acts 4 a serious nature seem to have only twopossible punishments. They are probation or expulsion.

Probation, most often of the "pericil" type which leavesno permanent blot on an individual's record, must be con-sidered as almost completely ineffective. It is essentiallya warning, the mildest form of discipline which now exists.On the other hand, expulsion is the most drastic. Thereseems to be no middle ground.

Offenses by college students fall in a broad range, fromthe distorted collegiate prank to the acts of "pure crime",i.e. out and out theft. There are also other areas of en-deavor for which disciplinary action may be needed. It isimpossible to believe that this wide range of discipline ishandled either effectively or fairly when only two widelydiverse punishments exist.

A student whose actions belie his responsibilities shouldcertainly be disciplined. The punishment should vary withthe seriousness of the action. It should involve some posi-tive action on the part of the offender. Except in the mostextreme cases, a first offense should not result in expulsionof the student.

How can such a disciplinary philosophy be put intoaction? First a number of general areas of punishmentshould be developed. This could involve anything frontweekly conferences with a Dean to working at a hospitalor mental institution during the weekend, or perhaps at theInstitute, doing something useful.

We feel that the establishment of such an area of disci-pline would be an excellent innovation; it might even salvethe conscience of the student. It could not help but be aconstructive experience. It would fill an absolutely neces-sary gap in present punitive measures.

They never tired of hear-ing our replies to such queries as - "Do youthink Cuba is becoming a Communist country?"and "Do you believe everything your news-papers print when. muich of it is Batista-sup-

ported lies ?"I tried to answer these questions by saying

that now; here did I see the evidences of Com-munism, but that certain of the reforms did ap-pear to be of a Communist bent. As for the

charge against our newvspapers, I tried to ex-plain that while certain reports were opp-sed tothe Castro methods of government, Americanjou'nalists tried to present a true picture of thesituation.

As I mentioned previously, the hope of allages and classes of Cubans was fantastic. Theylooked upon this new government as the realiza-tion of their dreanms. This liberation was oftencompared to our own civil w-ar for the similareffect it displayed.

The Agrarian Reform

Nothing is the topic of more conver-sation,

except maybe Castro himself, than the Agrarian

Reform. This system of agricultural re-alloca-

tion is designed to make the most of the fertileland. It is hotly debated as in many aspects it

is the picture of a Soviet collective farm.

By pooling machiniery aid transportation fa-

cilities, the once-hanidicapped farmer iow has

the latest equipment at his disposal. However,

all the suar, tobacco, anl hemp is sold to the

governiiment w-lNhich is in effect counter to wvhat

we call free enterprise.

Playing at Government

Castro speaks of every Cuban as his child.In fact, one might at times get the idea that

this new government is a big game for hmn_ andhis youthful cohorts. There is no rigeur of dip-

lomacy or protocol, for at times Castro gives theimpression that he is purposely avoiding diplo-

Inatic contacts. Fidel, who personally makes allmajor decisions, is rarely found in his Habana

office or Habana-Hilton suite. His life is onebig whistle-stop tour; Pinar del Rio in the wtest

today, Santiago de Cuba in the east tomorrow.At times governmental gristmills are at a

standstill for want of his signature. Howveirer,it can hardly be said that he is not sincere. Heloves his people and his country, and they arealmost unanimously his willing servants.

Unanimous Hospitality

The Cuban people themselves are no lessremarkable. From Las Villas millionaire toVinales peasant the hospitality extended madeTre feel ashamed of the comparable United
