Last Thursday night the InstituteCommittee voted eight to four to severall JITt affiliations with the Nationalstudent Association after discussionwith NSA officers, President Don Hoff-man fromr the University of Wiscon-sin, and Harald Bakken, ex-presidentof the Association and now a graduatestudent at Harvard.

AIt the meeting most Inscomm mem-bers suggested that the NSA was notliving up to its purpose as stated inthe NSA constitution - to be con-cerned with matters pertinent to "stu-dents inr their role as students."

Although MIT has been with NSAsince its founding in 1947, the Ins-comm discontent began recently whenNSA made resolutions on national andinternational issues without a majorityrepresentation from American col.-lege students.

At the National Congress of theAssociation in Urbana, Illinois, thissummer, the four MIT delegates, ChrisSprague, '60, Frank Tapparo, '60, Far-ley Fisher, '60, and Linda Greiner, '60,accused NSA of forcing spirited leg-islation without representation, andin nmany cases without full knowledge.MIT walked out of one conference andasked that its name be removed from

star's evolution, the first of which isthe condensation period, known asHelmnholtz contraction. During thisperiod, interstellar gas combines bygravitational attraction to form astar. As it contracts. the materialbecomes hot, and at a certain point,hydrogen fusion begins to occur.

Then follows a long equilibrium pe-riod, during which the star steadilyburns its hydrogen supply into heliumand energy. For an a-verage stat, thisstage may last forty billion years.

After this period, the star beginsto expand, quickly using its diminishedhydrogen supply. It is during thisperiod that some stars are observedto "nova"', or "super-no'a".

With its hydrogen supply gone, thestar rapidly shrinks to become a whitedwarf. Fronm this stage, it loses itslulninence, and dies.

Dr. Struve stated that, while thisprocess is not directly observable, themeasured change in period of pulsa-tion of Cepheid. variable stars is ev-i-dence that this evolution does occur.These pulsating stars provide muchvaluable information about stellar ag-ing, and thus are being closely stu-died.

Dr. Otto Struve presented the sec-0ond of this year's Karl Taylor Comp-ton lectures Thursday night at KresgeAuditorium. A capacity audienceheard the eminent astronomer speak

is nows thought to be true of stellarformation, growth, and death, al-though he pointed out that our knowl-edge in this field is by no means com-plete.

as basic to democracy. A public system of communicationshas been used to perpetrate a fraud at the peoples expensefor the profit of a few private groups. The lie was trans-mitted to about 50 MILLION persons over a system regu-lated by the Feaeral Communications Commission.

A democracy has as its underlying assumption the avail-ability of information to the populace. The public cannotmake decisions without reliable facts to base them on. Thedistortion of these facts is a crime against the entire nationand there is, in essence, little difference between lies pre-sented over a public system under government regulationand lies created by the government itself. Propaganda filmsmay be "entertaining" but they lead to a form of govern-ment which is not.

Misrepresentation and distortion must be fought atevery level - on television, advertising, radio as well aselsewhere. As a totalitarian state cannot exist with truth-a democracy cannot exist without it.

J. B.A little less than a year ago we were extremely moved

by this new play by Archibald MacLeish, and it is com-forting to know that the same production, with a differentcast, is now in Boston, as brilliant as it was in New York.

The clear understanding of our own creation and pro-creation as well as the motivation of our destiny and lifeare all-time favorites of accomplished writers: it shouldbe so, for once every subject has been treated and developedthere is still one which depends entirely on the writer'spersonality and belief, his own self.

Archibald MacLeish's J. B. is, first of all, the author'sexplanation of his faith, a confession only made when oneis near the end of his life, for a man can hardly live withhis belief once it has been made a public property. J. B.is a work of art in the best sense of this rather vague expres-sion: a touching and powerful poem, with the true lan-guage of a poet, and not the artificial or unnecessary show-off of erudition of a T.S.E.; it is a striking power of Evilfor the non-believers, a splendid, accurate song of Opti-mismn for the believers; and, as staged and directed by EliaKazan, it is a very good play.

The story on which it was based can be found in anyedition of the Bible under the heading Job, and to our ownsensitivity, is far from being as powerful and impressive asMr. MacLeish's version.

The play is dangerous in as much as the compensationsgiven to J.B. after the successive disasters he endures arefar from being satisfactory. For those who have a weakbelief J. B. accomplishes the poisining effect of exposingthe nihilism and fatalism involved in strong fanaticism or,rather, in the blind acceptance of the precepts of theChurch. As in any,play Evil is more attractive than Good;it is therefore frightening to receive such bitterness andcynicism without receiving more than a promise of a bettertomorrow.

The disasters of J. B.'s life are displayed in black andwhite in strongly appealing poetry, and the redemptionor compensation is only suggested too quickly.

To remain on the safe side we will only consider that theplay represents the failure of Evil and that Faith is strongenough to keep the most unfortunate of human beingsfrom cursing God. The issue may not satisfy the author'sabsolute strength or morality; it may satisfy ours.

But no matter what are the philosophical implications,J. B. will remain one of the best plays of any theatrical sea-son, whether in New York, Boston or Atlantic City, as aproduction for the stage as well as a book to be read andread again.

Van Doren Cherry Trees, etc.To THE EDITOR:

It was revealed last week, to the surprise of millions ofquiz show watchers and other interested spectators of theAmerican scene, that Charles Van Doren had been coachedand aided when he won $129,000 on a quiz show threeyears ago. In addition to the 'cheating' several very im-portant issues were raised.

Most interesting to me were some of the opinions ex-pressed by my own friends. They echoed some popularmisconceptions which seem to indicate an alarming moraland intellectual laxity.

First is the almost unanimous praise accorded Van Dorenby the members of the investigation committee after hemade an admission of his guilt. Only one member of thecommittee dissented front the prevalent opinion that itwas a courageous and noble action on Van Doren's part.Perhaps this attitude is a remnant from the story whichmost of us have heard about the confession of little GeorgeWashington when he was confronted with a truncatedCherry tree. George was praised for his admission and thepunishment was witheld. So is Van Doren praised, and, ibelieve, this praise is undeserved.

The difference between the actions of Washington andVan Doren is marked although superficially similar. Georgewas presumably safe from discovery when he confessed.'he choice he faced was one between remaining silent andunpunished and making a confession and accepting theprobable punishment. He chose the honest alternative andmust have been surprised at the outcomne. Van Doren, onthe other hand, lived for three years with his guilt and upto a week before his appearance before the committeepleaded innocent. The committee had sufficient informationbefore his testimony to establish his guilt so Van Dorenreally had little choice left. He could continue to pleadinnocent and face the subsequent exposure or he could con-fess and try to salvage a little self-respect and some sym-pathy from his audience. His decision to confess was actu-ally the only reasonable position.

The distinction between these two seemingly similarconfessions is really a religious one; man must be free tochoose if his choice is to have any meaning. George Wash-ington was free when he chose to confess - Van Dorenhad no alternative for circumstance determined his choice.The first is a noble act but the second is not. The fact thatVan Doren is an adult must only compound his guilt forhe can be held fully accountable for his acts.

Finally, I am very disturbed by the 'belief held by manypeople (including Van Doren himself at one time) that thecheating is to be condoned, or at least overlooked becauseit did not deprive anyone of anything and was committedmainly to provide more entertainment to the viewers.

Besides the fact that those contestants who were not inon the fraud were dishonestly defeated, is the fact that wehave all been deprived of certain rights which we regard

The Axe FallsIf MIT, like its urban home, reeked of bookie joints

whose proprietors took bets on Inscomm meetings, agambler could have cleaned up on Thursday night's de-cision which put the undergraduate body out of the clutchesof the National Student Association.

Before the meeting, political speculators were predictingthe usually conservative student group would stay withinthe NSA's motherly influence.

Litchfield Lounge was graced by the presence of thecurrent NSA president and one of his predecessors. Theypermeated the room with the NSA party line. It didn'twork. NSA was booted 8-4.

Oddly enough, the four voters who stood up for the NSAwhen the roll was called seemed to be so blissfully con-tented with the spiels given by the two national officers thatthey thought it unnecessary to voice their own opinions inany way that would conceivably sway voting. The NSAheadquarters men spoke affably and affectionately of theirorganization; every question from the floor was answered,every negative point countered. Superficially, that is. Butthe answers and the counter blows could not change theconvictions of the eight who opposed the organization;there was too much NSA, too much abstract patriotism, toomuch responsibility to the world by the U. S. student.There was too little explanation of these points; of how theviews of such a heterogenous group as the U. S. studentbody could be expressed, or even if such expression is pos-sible. Most important to our point of view was the lack ofany convincing NSA schemes for facilitating intercollegiatecommunication which involved MIT; communication whichhad been burdened down by the cumbersome, badly oiled-machinery of the NSA.

The NSA, with its farcical national conventions, its ill-considered resolutions which set forth the "opinion of thestudents of the United States," its ineffective local value, itscost to MIT ($1000 yearly), is now without our member-ship. We commend Inscomm for the action, strongly rec-ommended on this page prior to the meeting.

JI Friday Night... Gay Crowds and a QueenBy Jean Pierre Frankenhuis

As the long trains hummed on theballroom floor and the glasses jingledmerrily on the tables the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology Juniorpromenade opened its fanfare of mu-sic, dance and entertainment. Held

at the Statler Hilton Hotel on a rainyNovember evening it opened the sea-son with a taste of long-rememberedHigh School formal and a sophisti-cated atmosphere of Grand Gala Open-ing.

Fluffy taffetas, glittering satins,winking "lames" filled up the room,swiveling around with grace andcharm, emanating a fresh scent ofyouth and gaiety. Contrasting withthe bright colors of the evening gowns,the tuxedos shone with severity anddistinction in a happy 'ombination wehad grown unaccustomed to, after toomany weeks in the MIT corridors.

At the guest's table Dr. and Mrs.Stratton, Dean and Mrs. Fassett, Pro-fessor and Mrs. Bartlett, Mr. Carlisleand members of last year's comnmitteehonored the festivity with their pres-ence, increasing the cordial bonds be-tween students and Faculty. As wvepaid our respects we could not fail tonotice the elegance and poise of Mrs.Fassett, in a delicate and simple greenevening dress.

A delay of an hour due to an acci-(lent compelled Larry Elgart to playwith half of the members of his or-chestra, as well as improvising nlostof the arrangements. Fortunately inthe middle of the evening the rein-forcement arrived and Elgart com-plemented his own performance witha lady crooner who warmed up theroom with her interpretation of "MyFunny Valentine", sending the cou-

ples to the main floor as if by mag-netism.

Among the couples sitting at thetables we noticed Sally Newton, agraduate from U.C.L.A., wearing abright red dress, and accompanied byPete Burleson, '61; Eunice Brown, asecretary at MIT, accompanied byLawrence Carr, '60; and in the Geor-gian Room a very sophisticated younggirl in a dazzling white "lame", CarlaHyndman, accompanied by MorganElmer, '63.

At the first intermission the longexpected moment of the election ofthe Queen arrived. After the presen-tation of the finalists the suspensewas created and finally the result wasannounced: Paie Sanger, who waswearing a classical style taffeta-and-satin blue dress, and was accompan-ied by Jim Francis, a Junior in CourseVII. After the usual pictures we hadthe privilege of interviewing theQueen who is a Freshman at GarlandJunior College. As we strode downthe stairs in search of a telephonebooth, Paie told us she intends to"teach nursery school, get married andbe a successful mother". The happypair met six weeks ago on a blinddate and has no further plans at themoment but to enjoy many more "de-lightful weekends". As she was askedher age Paie smiled and repliedpromptly: "I'm 18 years old and I'mhappy the way I am". We couldn'thelp but agree.

Miss Paie Sanger, Queen of the Junior Prom

A few items from our note-book:- The unfortunate absence of Mar-

la Moody, very active member of thecommittee, who remained at the in-firmary with pneumonia.

- Some people complained aboutthe lack of Latin Aimerican music inElgart's repertoire. Swinging hipswere at leisure.

- Why did the "Princeton Nas-soons" sing so late, when everyone

The final game of the season wasscheduled MIonday against Boston Uni-versity.

The varsity soccer team absorbedits third loss of the season Saturday,bowing before Dartmouth, 5-1, in themud at Briggs Field. The Techmenhave won five contests.

The Engineers' lone goal came inthe third period as outside right PedroPiedrahita, '61, angled in a low shotfrom 10 yards away.

Dartmouth Scores EarlyDartmouth broke the ice after just

tell minutes of the first quarter andfollowed with two more tallies beforethe half ended.

In the fourth quarter the Big Greenadded one point on a penalty kick andrammed home the final goal with aminute left in the game.

Three upsets featured first roundintramural football playoffs for su.-premacy in Divisions A and B SundayDelta Tau Delta, last year's "A'Champions and titlists of League I,were vanquished by League II]Champs Beta Theta Pi, 20-6. TheLeague II representative, Phi GammaDelta, was upset by the top of LeagueIV, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 7-0.

In the battles for "B" honors Lamb-da Chi Alpha of League V triumphedover Student House of League VII,13-0, in the only encounter which livedup to form. East Campus of LeagueVIII surprised Senior House of LeagueVI, 12-0, in the third upset.

Betas Allow First ScoreThe Betas, who had racked up 70

points during the regular season whileholding their League III oppositionscoreless, allowed the Delts to breakthe string late in the fourth period.

Dick Pickett, '61, passed the victorsto two touchdowns, hitting WarrenGoodnow, '59, with a short toss in thefirst quarter and Jim Russell, '59, ona long heave in the third stanza foT6-pointers.

The second Beta score came in thesecond frame on a short aerial from-Cal Koonce, '60, to Dick Rossman, '61.

The Delts had several scoring op-portunities but were able to reach paydirt only in the final minutes as SteveSmith, '62, connected with John Criss-man, '61.

Fumble Leads To SAE ScoreThe SAE-Fiji game featured two

very strong defensive teams thatwould have played to a scoreless dead-lock had it not been for a bad snap-back from center. Late in the secondperiod the Fijis were in a fourth-downkicking situation on their own 18 yardline. The snapback was dropped onthe 13 and the Sailors took over.

Two short passes carried to the 4,- and on fourth down quarterback N1ic.

key Haney, '62, was almost nailed for' a loss, ran to his left, and lofted a

strike to Bill Lenoir, '61, in the endzone.

Sikes Leads LCADave Sikes, '63, completed two short

passes for touchdowns and passed forthe extra point to account for all thescoring in the Lambda Chi Alpha vic-tory.

Sikes, throwing from a halfbackposition, reached Hank Hobbs, '60,twice, once in the first quarter andagain at the end of the first half withhis scoring tosses.

Pass Defense Wins For ECThe Senior House offense that had

scored 86 points in 4 games was sti-fled by a tight East Campus pass de-fense in its loss to the small andspeedy League VIII champs.

They scored in the first period ona short toss from Terry Chatwin, '63,

1 to Bob Petrich, '63. The second tally,r which is under protest, came when

Jim Omura, '62, grabbed a long Chat-win pass that had bounced off thefingers of two defenders.

Next Sunday will see the end ofthe football season in encounters forthe Division "A" and "B" tiiies. TheBetas and SAE will clash for theformer, and Lambda Chi Alpha andEast Campus will vie for the latterhonor. Both games are scheduled for1 P.M.

IM Swimming Meeti At Pool On WVeekendI The MIT living groups will be tak-

Harriers Second in TriangularThe varsity cross country team

faced Northeastern University in atriangular meet for the second timethis season last Thursday and for thesecond time the Beavers lost to North-eastern while downing the third squad.,he final score was NU 19, MIT 38,ITfts 71. The frosh were victorious,defeating Northeastern 19-36.

Co.captain Dan Oliver, '60, led thebarriers with a fourth place finish, thebest an MIT runner has finished thisseason, in 21:22 for the 4.1 milecourse. George Withbroe, '61, followedin fifth spot in 21:32. Co-captain Bob3Iullen, '60, and Herb Wegener, '61,were eighth and ninth while Ed. Mc-Cartney, '60, 12th, Herb Grieves, '61,15th, and Steve Banks, '62, 18th,rounded out the top seven for theengineers.

Regular Season EndedThe Beavers thus concluded their

regular season schedule with a 4-7record. Although percentagewise notbetter than last year, the entire squadhas shown great improvement, as in-dicated by the fact that last week thenIst four MIT runners finished in lessthan 22 minutes and the first eight inless than 23, whereas the year pre-;ious only one or two would have beenin the former category, with maybefire in the latter. Interest and spirithave been higher, too. This season'ssquad had thirteen regular competi-,mar, while last fall's had- only eight.

Fresh Gain First WinThe freshmen concluded their cam-

paign with their first meet victory ofthe season. Tom Goddard, Chuck Sig-vxart, and Roger Hinrichs swept thefirst three places to insure the year-lings' win. Pete Hierl, Jeff Gibson,Bill Klehm, and Hilton Kabat fol-loived in 8th, 10th, 16th, and 18thplaces, respectively. The meet alsocounted as a win over the Tufts frosh,although the Jumbos only enteredfour men, to give the Beaver frosh a3.6 season mark.

testified the audience appreciated ev.ery selection in its due form. Andthere was a good reason for appreci.ating it, as the Trio has its own wayof conveying College humor in itslyrics, accompanied by a terrific beat and astonishing showmanship. Their casualness put the audience at ease fand allowed the Trio to exchange wit.ty remarks as well as sing licentiousor hilarious songs in a most success.ful way.

Intermission was a long successionof girls looking for specific informa.tion about powder rooms, and a pa.trolman of the Security Force was athand. "They don't have to ask meanything: just by the way they holdtheir breath I know what they want"was his comment.

The second part of the concert wvasa repetition of the first as far as theaudience was concerned until the Trioreached their climatic finish, by ask.ing everyone to join in their famous"When the Saints Go Marching In".By this time everybody who couldstill do it was on his feet, clappinghands, dancidg, shouting, cheering,and some even carried the tune. Theenthusiasm of the Trio had taken overthe whole Armory and nothing couldhave stopped the gaiety at this point,nothing but the end of the concert,which in everyone's opinion was wellworth the waiting in the rain.

Some day it would be very excitingto listen to them in a sober state.

Thompson suggested that if the NS.Arefrains from making foolish resolu-tions and develops more representa-tion from American students, MITshould consider re-affiliation.

Thompson said that the NSA has"visions of grandeur" and thinks thatit can attract students by passingresolutions which concern national andinternational issues. He spoke ofthe "romantic" attempt of the Asso-ciation to condemn nuclear tests.Thompson stated that the NSA is"potentially a good thing, but studentsdon't even know what it is".

"Blind" Actions CitedFrank Tapparo, '60, Baker House

President, who voted against disaffilia-tion, said that MIT "is better off no0vif NSA continues its past policy".Tapparo suggested that when NSAbegins to achieve its purpose, MITshould definitely rejoin; but said thatnow most of its actions are "blind".

UAP Chris Sprague, '60, who alsovoted against disaffiliatioh, said that anew organization as suggested byKaplan would be impractical. Heecalled the disaffiliation action unfortu- nate and said that the actual movetoward the separation began when theMIT NSA coordinators failed to dotheir jobs. He agreed that if NSA iimproves, MIT should re-affiliate, butstated that NSA will have a difficulttask to improve itself if more schoolssever relations.

The Tech editors suggested dis-affiliation in an editorial in the Sep-tember 25th issue, and repeated thesuggestion in an October 16th edi-torial.

After being in high spirits, but informal wear, on Friday night, it wasa relief to find the MIT community instill higher spirits, but in their usualcasual acoutrements. The fight forchairs was conducted in an orderlymanner, avoiding any spilling of bev-erages from the tables.

This was Saturday night of JuniorProm weekend and the entertainingpart, on stage, was confidently givento the Kingston Trio. In the tumul-tuous atmosphere of complete relaxa-tion, the guest's table humorously ac-cepted the challenge of drinking cokeand ginger ale as an example of self-control. It was very pleasant to seeDean and Mrs. Rule, Dean and Mrs.Fassett, Professor and Mrs. Bartlettand Mr. Carlisle set themselves backto the time when they were sitting inthe back row, thumping their feet andclapping hands at the performers.Cathy Carie and Laurie Strattonjoined the roaring crowd and enjoyedthe performance of the Techmen asmuch as the Kingston Trio.

For thirty-five minutes the Trioheld the audience in their hands, mak-ing it sing or remain silent at will.The mood of each song was conveyedby light effects of the most varied na-ture, and in general quite ineffectual,which didn't seem to bother the audi-ence as it was sitting in the darkanyway.

Most of the Trio's repertoire wasat hand and "ahs", "ohs" and "his"

NSAthe records. (The Tech, Sept. 18,1959)

No NSA Spirit"In the past, NSA coordinators at

MIT have not been able to stir studentspirit," said Sprague, "and conse-quently, the NSA has failed at MIT."A month ago the Institute Commit-tee discussed disaffiliation, and lastThursday finally voted to withdraw.

At the end of Thursday's meetingDick Kaplan, '60, Athletic Associa-tion President, put forth a motion thatMIT take the lead in the formation ofan organization of engineering andscience schools to replace the NSA.This motion ras tabled and as yethas not been decided.

Kaplan feels that the NSA's un-represented resolutions on internation-al problems such as the apartheidproblem in Africa, the Cuban revolu-tion, and nuclear tests should not haveMIT's name tacked on them. He feelsthat this proposed organization wouldprovide a more common ground forcommunication with engineering andscience schools than the NSA did, sinceMIT was the only major technicalschool affiliated with the Association.He believes that an "equal partner-ship" between MIT and other schoolsin sports and scholastics would be farmore successful than the past affilia-tion.

Wait For ImprovementPaul Thompson, '60, IFC represen-

tative, disagreed with Kaplan, statingthat MIT should wait and "see ifNSA improves". He compared theNSA to the League of Nations whichfinally became the United Nations.
