Russia's greatest asset in the cold war, according to WalterF.

Cooperate inFreshman Orientation

This year the National StudentAssociation will be operating withthe Dormitory Committee in the"M.I.T. Orientation" program. TheFreshman Orientation Departmentof Dorm Comm will help with theorientation of all American Freslh-men while the Foreign Student de-partment of the N.S.A. will assistforeign students.

Through this program, Techlol-iogy students will give the enteringstudents a friendly welcome to theinstitute and its student life. Oneof the objects of the program is toshow the foreign students that theyare welcome in the Institute familyand that they have just as muchchance to be successful with friendsand extra-curricular activities asany other student.

Three hundred students have al-ready registered to help with theorientation program, but many more are needed. Two hundredimen are needed for American stu-dent orientation and approximatelysixty more for foreign students./Those who wish to help in the pro-gram may get cards from the N.S.A.office.

Tech Soc al LifeHal Reeves,and his orchestra and

a cabaret theme will be featuredthis Saturday night as the Class of1953 presents the "Carnation Caba-ret," its first social enterprise hereat the Institute.

Empty liquor 'bottles, with candlesstuck in the necks will provideunique table decorations: A muraldepicting an old-time bar will con-tinue the theme of the dance. Insharp contrast will be a waterfountain with varying colored lightssurrounded by a bed of carnations.

Ope;n to AllIntermission entertainment, in-

cluding classical, qLartet, and hillbilly music, will be provided en-tirely by 'members of the Class oS'53. Peter B. Noonan and Thomas L.[Kelly will be featured vocalists forthe intermission, which will bebroadcast over station WMIT.

"We do not wish to infer from'the fact that this dance is pre-sented by '53," stated Gilbert D.[ Gardner, Social Chairman, "that itis for freshmen only; all membersof the Institute -family are invited."

Tickets are now on sale in thelobby of Building 10 'for the price of$1.80 per couple.

By KARL T. COMPTONCopyright, 1950, by THE TECH.

In this, the final installment of his reminiscences, Dr. Compton dis-cusses the problem of choosing a career and the significance of under-graduate specialization. He compares his own career with those of hisbrothers, Dr. Arthur H. Compton, Chancellor of Washington Univer-sity; and Dr. Wilson M. Compton, President of the State College ofWashington.PART VI

When and how to choose a career? No question is moreoften asked by parents or more earnestly argued by educators.To this question I have no clear-cut answer, except the con-viction tnat there is none. But I do have certain ideas based onexperience and observation. For example, a father askswhether I would advise his son to come directly to M.I.T. after

PUBLIC OPINI:ON9

The Housing Committee's decision to substitute a rent hikefor the previously planned curtailment of linen service in theDormitories is a refreshing indication that student opinion issometimes able to influence those Institute policies whichdirectly concern student life. Merely the fact that studentopinion on the proposed policy was so quickly and forcefullyexpressed in the form of petitions and letters of protestationreflects a healthy situation insofar as students here are ableto feel that their wants and opinions will receive considerationin matters such as this.

But why the original decision to sacrifice services in orderto maintain the rents at present levels? The Advisory Com-mittee on Student Housing considered the problem carefullyfor a long period of time before coming to a decision. Since

... -'-:o~ nly object is to' prevent the Dorms from running up agreater deficit, and since the two alternative policies accom-plish this object equally well, it would seem that choosing be-tween higher rents or less service was merely a matter ofdeciding which plan would present the least inconvenience toDormittry residents. Evidently the committee decided that theresidents -of the Dormitories would prefer a curtailment ofservice, although it was immediately obvious to almost alf resi-dents that this would actually incur a greater expense in laundryand spap bills than would a rental increase of ten dollars. It isgratifying that the committee responded so readily to studentopinion, but we feel that this selection of the lesser of twoevils, which in the end was decid. ed by the Dorm residents, couldhave been accomplished much more easily and efficiently hadthe committee troubled to sound out student opinion in thevery beginning.

OUTDOOR CORRIDOR

Public opinion can be expressed in other ways than in pet,'tions and letters, and be just as effectual as the Dormitorypetitions were. The most graphic example in hand came aboutazs a result of the well-known absence of a corridor through theEnglish and History Library in Hayden. Although no adequatesolution to the problem of The Locked Door has yet beenoffered, the Institute has at least come up with a fair-weathersubstitute for a corridor. This action has undoubtedly comeabout as result of public opinion expressed in the form offootprints.

The footprints began tp appear as the ground thawed lastmonth; before l-ong the stretch of ground along the North wallof Hayden was in sad enough condition to demand the sidewalknow under construction. With the completion of the sidewalkwe imagine that the case for a corridor parallel to the Englishand History Library might be closed, with the ridiculous detourthrough the basement as the permanent foul-weather route toWalker. However, we still feel that the absence of a corridorhere is a sorry mistake in need of adequate correction. Theobvious and necessary solution is a glass-enclosed passagethrough the court. Until this is done the locked doors of theEnglish and History Library and the Music Library stard asmute testimonials to' a ludicrous mistake in design. A

This week the spotlight focuseson Dr. Edward L. Moreland, the Ex-ecutive Vice-President of the Insti-tute. Dr. Moreland is retiring at theend of this term after twenty-oneyears at Tech.

Born in Lexington, Virginia, in1885, Dr. Moreland received thedegree of B.A. in mathematics andphysics from Johns 'Hopkins Uni-versity in 1905. He attended M.I.T.at its former Boylston Street loca-tion and received his M.S. in Elec-trical Engineering in 1908. In 1916,he became a .partner in the engi-neering firm of Jackson and More-land. D. C. Jackson, his partner,was at that time head of the E. E.Department at.Technology.

When the First World War camealong, Dr. Moreland served in theA.E.F. as-a technical advisor in thefield of power engineering. Afterthe war, the firman of Jackson andMoreland again started function-ing. In 1929, Mr. Jackson retiredand Dr. Moreland was asked to takehis place as head of the E. E. De-partment at Tech. After nine yearsin this capacity, he became Dean ofErngineering of the Institute whenDr. Vannevar Bush retired to be-come President of Carnegie Tech.

With the outbreak of the SecondWorld War Dr. Moreland workedwith the National Defense ResearchCommittee which was responsiblefor many of our war-time inven-tions including radar, the proximityfuse, and the amphibious duck. Hethen served in a civilian capacity on

The Russe is not the best in ballettoday, but it is ballet, and it is coml-ing to Boston. Unlike the Ballet deParis, which tends more towardsburlesque than it does ballet, theBallet Russe de Monte Carlo at-tempts a serious presentation of theclassic dance, placing a good dealof emphasis upon the particulartalents of its stars, Danilova,Franklin, and Danielian. Among theballet -connpanias of the present day,however, the Russe has fallen cor-siderably behind; the Sadlerts Wellsof England and New York's BalletTheatre taking the fore. TheRusse's Boston ,perfornances ofeayear ago showed major deficiencies.not found as conspicuously in the

.dancing of the leads as it was inthe corps de ballet, the orchestra,.and the stage sets. Whether these-points have improved vithin thelast year, I cannot say.

During their stay at the BostonOpera HousL from May 1st to the6th, the Ballet Russe will ,presentthe following programs: Mon. eve.:Swan Lake, Mute Wife, Cirque deDeux, Gaite Parislenne; Tue. eve.:Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Schehera-zade; Wed. eve.: Ballet Imperial,Pas de Deux, Paquita, Graduation -Ball; Thur. eve.: Coppelia, Mute.Wife, Raymonda (Act 3); Fri. eve.:Sylphides, Pas de Deux, Birthday,-Madronos; Sat. mat.: Swan Lake,.Nutcracker, Scheherazade; , Sat.eve.: Giselle, Mute Wife, Gradua--tion Ball.

Tech Ruby FowersIn Its Second Season

By STAN BENJAMIEN

M.I.T.'s answer to football, theRugby Club, plays its third sched-uled game of the current seasontomorrow at Yale. Organized in1949, the IVI.I.T. Rugby Club hasplayed: its way into the austerecompany of such veteran "Rugger"strongholds as Princeton, Harvard,and Yale. Plans for next year in-elude a try at the Bermuda RugbyFestival, which annually attractsthe best Rugby teams in the East.The igrowth of the Tech club can bewell judged by its recent ga-me atPrinceton. The Tigers, fresh fromwinning the Bermuda Festival,nipped the year-old Tech team bya score of only 6-3.

Until last January the club's fu-ture was always very much indoubt. The membership, which hadbeen spearheaded by Co-foundersM-an Postlethw.aite and Stephen

Garvin, dwindled when these andother club mainstays graduated.and by last year only four remained.But these four, Harrey Jones, BudWheelon, Roger Saleeby, and 'WaltHylander, took matters in hand,and sparked the club to a presentenrollment of thirty members,evenly divided between undergrad-uate amd graduate students.

Although Institute endorsementhas been offered by the ,MITAA, theRugby Club here, as at the otherRugby-playing schools, prefers toremain an independent club forseveral reasons, among which is thefact that many of the present play-ers would ,be ineligible to play underthe rules governing official inter-collegiate sports. However, the AAhas provided the club -with the useof fields and uniforms.

Editor, The TechDear Sir:

I think that someone ought toclear up the misstatement of factwhich appeared in the last issue ofThe Tech. The International Ref-ugee Organization is not an affil-late of the National Student Asso-ciation. The IRO is one of the olp-erating units of the United Nations,and the NSA is a union of Americanstudent govemrnments. The only waythat we (the NSA) are connectedto the International Refugee Or-ganization is through cooperationon the student scholarship programnwhich you described.

Your article also glossed over theimportance of the fraternity roomand board without which our proj-ect could not have been run. Thesefraternities, Chi Phi, Phi BetaEpsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, PiLambda Phi, and Theta Chi-'haveassumed all of the room and boardexpense ot the D.P. scholars thatreside ifi their houses. The moneyfor this comes from the fraternitymen themselves. In addition to theroom and board expenses, the AlphaClub, and Sigmpa Alpha Mu haveassumed the responsibility for theincidental expenses as well.

The World Student Service Funddid not provide the education forthese men; their scholarships aredue to the work of our committeewho saw the fraternities, raised theincidental expenses and did all ofthe other leg-work to mnake thisprogram possible.

Tomorrow the Beaver oarsmenwill churn the waters of Lake Car-negie to try for a victory in theannual Compton Cup Regatta. Thethree other schools represented inthis race are Princeton, Harvardand Rutgers. The race will be runon Princeton's one and three quar-ter mile course.'

Technology has never won thiscoveted cup given by former presi-dent of the Institute Karl T. Comp-ton but will have a chance this yearto even some old scores.

Varsity IntactThe varsity boat which showed so

well last week while being nosed outby Harvard in the stretch, afterhaving the lead all the way will beunchanged for this race. The shellconsists of bow man Alexander Ur-ling, Donald Christensen is in thenumber two slot, John Casson, PaulSmith, Richard Semple, CaptainBob Weber and Forrest ,Monkmanfollow with Allan Fonda as thestroke and Donald McGuire 'as cox-swain.

Four of these men, Urling, Chris-tensen, Casson and Sempie are upfrom the .freshman crew which al-most nosed out ,Harvard in thissame race last year. The Tech eighthas been whipping itself into shapeall week and should be ready forthis race. They are given an outside

chance to take this one from Ha-r-vard, who by past performance isthe favorite.

The Crimson is going to be a hardteam to beat. They are considered,to be one of the best boats in theeast.

Princeton which placed second toPennsylvania last Saturday has apretty good crew and will probablybe up for this race. They also havethe advantage of rowing on afamiliar course.

Coach Jim MacMillan said in aninterview that it would be a toughrace with Harvard the team to beat.Big Jim said that the Tech boatsshould be faster and in better shapefor this race due to the week's prac-tice. However, he would venture noprediction on the outcome.

Frosh and JV to CompeteThe Junior Varsity and the

Freshanmen will also travel to NewJersey to compete. The JV boat hasnot yet been settled with CoachMcMillan still shifting the seatingsin an attempt to gain more speed.

The freshmen which made a dis-appointing showing in last week'srace finishing a poor third to BUand Harvard has had a fewchanges. Frank Anderson and RayW.achter- will take over at the thirdand fourth seats and Ronald bMc-Kay will cox the shell.

by the world's colored peoples willbe lost. The young people in Egyptwon't come to the U. S. for ad-vranced education because they feardiscrimination. Consequently theyare going to Russia and elsewhere.

Color Line Spreading"While we build strong armed

services and support a MarshallPlan for restoring shattered coun-tries we are seeing them destroyedbecause we are not aware that thecolor line is spreading across theglobe, stated Mr. White.

He pointed out the reason whyChina went Communist. The Chi-nese people felt bitterness and re-sentment against the Westerndemocracies because of their doc-trine of extraterritorial rights andexclusion laws, and also because oftheir mistreatment by tourists,missionaries, and diplomats.

Two Great ProblemsMr. White concluded by declaring

that there are two great problemsfacing the world today. Firstly, theclash of ideologies between Russiaand the U. S. and secondly, the raceproblem. If the U. S. does not liveup to its protestations of democracyand solve the race .problem, hemaintained, the colored peopleswill turn to Tissa in desperation.

Eiarl; in 7-3 VictoryTech baseball team racked up the first win of their local

season last Monday afternoon as they trampled a haplessHusky nine by a 7-3 score.

Coach Warren Berg juggled his lineup considerably in anattempt to get all the power possible into the game, as he wentwith an outfield of Byrne, Johnson and Gushee, playing hard-hitting Pete Philliou at third base. Warren Fenster returnedto first and Mike Celantano took over Johnson's old spot atsecond. The strategy paid off as Tech collected 11 blows, everyman but Dixon' getting at least one.

Byrne's rousing double. The Huskiescame right back, however, in thelast half Of the inning, scoring twiceon two singles, an errqr and an in-field out to take a 2-1 lead. Beavershortstop Ron Thompson turned inthe defensive play of the gane inthis inning and choked off a 'pos-sible rally by Northeastern when,with runners on second and third,one out, and two runs already in, hespeared a line drive and tagged sec-ond base for an unassisted DP.

Tech Takes LeadThe Huskies picked up another

run in the 5th, but the Engineersmatched this btally with one of theirown in the 6th, when singles byGushee and Philliou combined withan NU error produced a score.

Tech moved back into the leadwhen the 8th inning rolled around.Johnson's double and Celantano'ssharp single to left with two downwere the big blows, but Husky er-rors combined with these to pro-duce three Beaver tallies.

Tech added some insurance in thetop of the ninth when Lubarskywalked, Dixon sacrificed, Thompsov.->singled, scoring Lubarsky, andJohnson singled to score Thompson,who had taken third on an error bythe Husky outfielder. Dixon set theside down in order in the last of theninth, ,anlning two pinch-hitters.

graduation from secondary school, or whether it would be betterfor him to go-first to a liberal arts college -and then transfer toM.I.T. This is a question which cannot be wiely answered inthe abstract, because either program can lead to excellent re-sults, and because so much depends on the boy himself. Theonly answer that I can be reasonably sure of is this: If the boy

is all enthused about coming to M.I.T., and especially if he hasa strong urge to become an aeronautical engineer, or chemist,or some other type of technologistj then there is probably adistinct advantage in letting him come where the environmentand curriculum will build on this enthusiasm. To do otherwisecould frustrate the incentive and kill the spark which are, afterall, the most precious educational assets. The opposite is ofcourse also true: if the boy is groping, then the best type ofinstitution is not clearly defined; and if the boy definitely doesnot like the idea of an M.I.T. type of education, it is probablya mistake to try to force it on him.

Actually I doubt whether the Tield of undergraduate studyplays nearly as decisive a role in fixing a future career as isusually supposed.· I have found, for example, that only abouthalf of our alumni are now in careers which are directly re-:lated to their field.of undergraduate specialization. The otherhalf are doing everything under the sun. So far as I can judge,neither half is more happy or successful than'the other. X canonly conclude that the ultimate value of an undergraduate edu-'.cation depends far more on the quality of intellectual 'and moraldiscipline .and inspiration than it does: on the particular courseof study which is the-vehicle t hrough which -this -discipline and-inspiration-are imparted.

--The preceding comment is of course much less applicableto postgraduate education. Here the' student .has already been: in.spired to me particular professional career,. and is seeking·to -acquire everye-possible bit of knowledge, ait and skill whichcan- make him effective in.-it. : . .-

.Finally,.a bit of intimate family history may serve to illus--.trate some of the viewpoints just expressed, and be a fittingend to this 'story.

B By all obvious criteria, my two brothers- and I are aboutas'similar as any three-people, not triplets, could be. We hadthe sgame heredity, environment, boyhood experiences, college-opportunities., We had similar extracurricular interests, as' in'literary clubs,' faternity, athletics.. .We are similar in physical.and, I think, in intellectual'and emotional characteristics. Yetno three' men could have gone about the selection of theircareers more differently.

I have alrea'dy-told how I became -attracted into physics.......... the result of being appointed assistant in physics at the be-

-"gkning of' my junior year, on the generous recommendationof a fraternity brother. My youngest brother, Arthur, had hisheart set on becoming a scientist from the age of twelve, whenhe'wrote his first scholarly dissertation on the toes of the ele-phant. Before following me to the graduate school of Prince-ton, he had; built a successful astronomical camera and hadflown in- his home-made glider. He had patented a method for:Stabilizing airplanes and had devised an entirely new methodTfor measuring the rate of rotation of the earth and determininglatitude. From childhood he never wavered in his determina-

, -tion to follow a research career in the physical sciences.My next younger brother, Wilson, had not decided what

career he wished to follow by the time he graduated from col-lege. He had, some thoughts of medicine and some of business.

, For some time, as an athletic director and then as an employee-:of a book company, he carefully kept his lines open into either

of these careers, or some other. I now confess what I neveradmitted to him, that I used~to worry lest he had not developed-the power of decision. But the real difference between him andme was that he made his decisions more carefully.

Both of my brothers have achieved high distinction, Wil-son as an economist and executive for the lumber industry andArthur as a Nobel prize physicist. Both have served our gov-ernment in peace and war. But the interesting fact is that allthree of us have become college presidents. In answer to theinquiry with which this story opened: "How does- one go aboutit to become a college president?", I can only say that this mayhappen in any one of a number of ways. This same statementholds for other types of careers and jobs.
