by CARL V. SWANSON '60This past Saturdlay the games

\-ere einstated as Field Day returnedto the MIT campus. The crowd gath-ered in the arena of Briggs Field toview- the superiority of brawn ov-erblains. The conclusion of Field Day,as ev-ery sophomore has heacrd flroma freshman, proclaimed the score tobe Freshman (45), Sophonmores (15).

Traditionally the sophonmores sweepField Day, hum-ibling the freshmenand as the sophomores say, remind-ing the frosh of their tlrue place, "thelow-est of the low."

Occasionally the freshmian, however,reminld the sophomores as w as donethis year, that the vword "low" canalso apply to the other as well.

The nature of the dlay immediatelybecame ev-ident as the sophom(iresboat hove into v-iew before the BoatRace. Towved by a launch it, skillmmedover the Charlles, its long, slenderbottom leav-in- almost no wvake. Ag-raceful boat, its gray length conmple-menting the -well Imade, multicolor'edflag flipping atop the mast, offeredcanr. anguishing contrast to the firesh-man boat-a double row of rusted, 55-gallon oil (htums;s, torn ill half andwelded together. It has been said thata sophomore calculated that eachaletnber of the Freshman crewv w-ouldhave to wveigh seventy-five pounds ifthis boait were to float.

Apparently a freshjman also calcu-lated this, as a B & 1) pickup truckswun, onto the bank of the Charlesopposite Smith House where the racewas to be held, sporting ain unpaintedbox-like thine,- which wvas the officialflreshlman entry. Cholrtling with gleeat hav-in- outsmarted the Class of '61with their tin call decoy, the froshlaunche(l their barge. No one can befound wvho saw- the look of triulmphupon that esemplawy freshman, spirit-ed and dedicalted, who reportedly hadspent the thirteen hours before thelaunching wveldling the tin canIs lo-gether.

Beth is a sophuloemore from Whitten-berg College wherle she is a mnemiberof Delta Gamma Sorority, and activein Drama Shop productions. Last yearat Whittenberg she was chosen queenof freshman fraternity weekend. Shewas escorted by Ted Kraver, '59, ofBaker House.

Mr. Malcolm Rivkin, Institute LongRange Planning Officer, 1recently in-dlicatedl to Inscoeini what the futurephysical plant of MIIT may look like.The pIrinciple problem underlying alldlecisions is the difficulty of acquiringnew land.

The Long IRange Planningi Conm-mittee has a twofold function asdesclribed by Mr. Rivkin: to work outa 20-30 year program, and to Workwith the Boston-Cambridg-e commun-ity. He stated that MIT has no defi-nitely predictable sources of incomeand, therefore, must use a flexibleprogram for expansion.

Parking Problem SolutionsSeveral solutions to the parking

problem were presented. The 1800parking spaces now available willhave to be greatly increased to meetnew demands in the future, requiringthe pulrchase of about 25 aclres ofland. The prohibitive cost of land($350,000 to $400,000 per acre) makesthe construction of a two story ga-rage the most feasible answer. Fi-nances for the structure would prob-ably result from a $30 to $40 perannum parking charge per car. Notewas made that it would probably beimpossible for MIT to foot the ap-proximately $600,000 bill, and that a$1.50 per car per day parking ratewould be prohibitive.

rlr. Riv kill stated that the "ques-tion of univer sity responsibility forstudent and facuity parking" arose."MlIT is one of the few- urban institu-tions that has no palrking charge," lheadded. West-atc will not be used forparlking hut a fringe par king systemmay be employed. This systemn wouldentail parking facilities at a sizeabledistance (!.i to !.; mile) flrom campuswvith a shuttle serv ice between.

Westgate PlansPlans for the use of the Westgate

land include the construction of frat-crnities, dolrmitories, a graduate cen-telr, alnd academic or athletic centersas possibilities. Present athletic fieldspace will probably be increased. Thesize of dormitories would run about200 man units. Mr. Rivkin stated re-garlding fraternities that "personallyI do not feel that 40 man units arefeasible."

Student Union

The Studlent Union is high on thepriority list. The business sectioncould be built sooner than the studentactivities part because of commnercialfinancing for the former.

A plan to relocate the entire MITcampus is impossible because the$49,000,00U worth of present buildingsw-ould cost $100,000,000 to reduplicate.

SS REGULATIONS

We would like to correct thedefinition of a full-time student inthe second year for purposes ofcertification to the Selective ServiceSystem.

A second-year student, not takingROTC, is considered as full-timewith a minimum of 42 units eachterm. This change reflects the factthat ROTC is now elective, andthat the second-year course sched-uies have not been allowed to in-crease.

A first-year student, not takingROTC, is considered full-time withat least 39 units, as always.

Possibly symbolizing the Institute's continual expansion program into untried areas, this"fixture" perched haughtily upon the Great Dorne last weekend, silently raising its "arrns"to the masses below.

Fresh Boat BuildersAttack Own Officers

In an open letter to the FreshmanClass, three members of the fresh-man boat committee who *worked onthe "decoy" metal boat hav-e con-demned Larry Pitts, '62 president, forthe way in which he "used" them.

Having stated in the ietter that themove by the high command of theclass in not informing the .workelrson the ill-fated boat that their workw-as all in vain, the -writers conmmientedin an interview that they felt that"the decision to construct the woodenboat was a panic move on the partof the class president, one w-hichdemonstrlated his complete inabiiityto lead the freshmien."

The greatest complaint concernedthe night before Field Day when the-writers complained that they -were

"conned" into working through thenight on the construction of a boatthat had no significance.

Aftel- stating the bulk of theircase in a manner that would havesoftened even the heart of Dicken's"Scrooge", the three concluded with:"We feel that Larry Pitts, presidentof the class, is responsible for this;-reat injustice, since he had fullknow-ledge of the wooden boat. We al-so feel that he no longer deserves therespect of the class and, consequently,that he should issue a public apologyand his resfgnation so that he canmake w-ay for a person with comnmonsense and decency."

Although it had been requestedi thatthe letter not be revealed to Pittsbeifore its actual publication in orderthat it -ould be "to him as big a sur-prise as his action w-as" to the writers.The Tech, acting on the assumptionthat mlore good-and less harm-w-ould come of the matter if the prexy

Particle ResearchOutlined At M I TAlumni ConferenceThe standard of living in the United

States is fal better than it wvas lessthan half a century ago, because wvehav-e learned to utilize energy moreefficiently, Dean George R. Harrisontold the MIT Regional Conference atAlbuquerque, New Mexico, Saturday.

The MI\T Dean told many alumnifroml the southw-est area that one ofthe most important research projectsconcerning energy is being carried onat Volcano Ranch, only 15 miles fromAlbuquerque.

"This group has discovered cosmicrays which have energy ranges of oneto ten million, million, million electronvolts," the Dean revealed.

At the site near Albuquerque, theMIT scientists have set up twentystations on a 2500 acre Lange to de-tect the impact of inconmling cosmicrays. By studying the distribution andtime of arrival of these particles, Pro-fessor Rossi and his colleagues areable to measure the direction fromwhich the cosmic ray has come intothe earth's atmosphere, which is in,-portant in determining the origin ofthe particles.

"As a matter of fact," he said, "ifone could stake out a claim of desertla]nd twenty nmiles long and ten mileswide, and could capture all of thesunliglht that falls on this area andturn it with 100% efficiency into theforms in which we now use energy,all of the energy requirements of the

Basie Rides Again

Feeling the power and excitement of the Count Basieband in full flight can be an exhilirating experience. Thesubtle guitar-playing or Freddie Greene is the nucleusof a pulsating rhythm section. The shouting brass en-sembles, the moaning saxaphone passages, and the crisp,lyrical solos lend an effect of joy and worldliness to theproceedings.

For the Basic oriented listener, the concert at Rock-well Cage Saturday night was both satisfying and dis-appointing. Although the performance was executed withaccustomed musicianship and professionalism, it was un-inspired due to a rude, and, except for brief flashes ofenthusiasm for the commercial exhibitions of the band,unresponsive audience. (After the concert, vocalist JoeWilliams felt that the audience was enthusiastic but boor-ish; twice the Count was visibly annoyed with a groupnear the stage that sang some inappropriate strains fromHandel's Messiah. A roll of toilet paper was thrown ontothe stage, and the stage was constantly overrun with auto-graph seekers and several members of the J.P. committeewho made unintelligible remarks into the microphone.)

With the aforementioned handicaps, the Basic gangtip-toed and trampled over some thirty ballads and blues,nearly a third of which were given over to Joe Williams.Joe sang with both blues-bawling and pop-singing stylesinto the lone microphone on the stage which was connectedto a set of speakers hung from the roof of the cage. Theeffect was one of the band playing on the stage withthe singer suspended from the rafters. The "brass-answer-ing the reeds" backing of the band on Tender Trap. andThe Comeback, the interplay between a stone-faced JoeWilliams and alto-saxist Frank Wess on Every Day, JoeNewman's trumpet introductions, Eddie Jones' rock-solidbass on Smack Dab in the TMiddle, and Williams' lyricismon Goin' to Chicago, were the highlights of the singer'sappearance.

The gentle, easy swinging style of the Basic band wasvery effective on the ballads and medium tempo blues.Spring is Here and Baby, Baby all the Time were vehiclesfor Charley Fowlkus' baritone and Henry Coker's trom-bone;; Wendell Cully's trumpet sound gently floated downfrom the rafters as the band glided through Neal Hefti'sdelicate Lil' Darlin'; Joe Newman's effortless solo bootedthe band along in a fluent version of Indian Summer. Ata medium tempo, Freddie Greene's maracas gave impetusto the muted brass and solos by Thad Jones (trumpet)and Frank Foster (tenor); Greene's Corner Pocket featureda softly stomping solo by Basie himself; Frank Wess'driving flute solo was framed by an arrangement whichzig-zagged from a guitar-bass duet to a muted brass en-semble to Wess to Sonny Payne's brush solo to the saxa-phone section back to brass and drums.

The bruising, shouting Basie style showed up in WVhirly-bir' as Billy Mitchell (tenor) delivered a charging solosparked by raucous shouts from the trumpet section. AlGray (trombone) was heard in a fast staccato style whichresembled a B-29 strafing an air field. Blee Blop Bluesgalloped faster than Faubus through Harlem with scorch-ing solos by Mitchell and Newman. Sonny Payne waspresented a screeching Old Man River as a vehicle for hisdrumming which was at first musical, but then developedinto a wierd ritual of bouncing the sticks off the drums.

Fifteen minutes after the concert ended to the strainsof Basie's One O'Clock J]mp, the band's bus headed acrossthe Harvard Bridge. The happy feeling which usually fol-lows a Basic concert was missing. For those who enjoyedany part of the performance, another listening is reccom-mended. The Basic band deserves it.

MYER KUTIZ '59

Dr. Faustus

Anyone who wishes to present a show has a hard jobon his hands: choice of play, scenery designs, light designs,costume design, cast, direction, and production. When thesame person meets two other dependent factors like therelatively restrained choice of talent and the undoubtedlypoor construction of the Little Theater, it is a matter ofgreat courage to produce a comedy like The Magical His-tory of Doctor Faistus, as the Community Players are thisyear.

The plot itself is of least importance, bringing nothingnew to the ideas already developed by Marlowe, or morecontemporary authors. The old theme of the man sellinghis soul to the Devil for twenty years of power and re-gretting it as the time passes is too much of an operanowadays to awaken any interest in the audiences of thetwentieth century who are more interested in sexual rela-tionships among members of the same family, or in com-plexes discovered by Freud and staged by Tennessee Wil-liams.

There was very little left to the author, George Hitch-cock, but to introduce a brilliant dialogue or a witty com-ment on the whole idea. Neither is done. The dialogueis, nonetheless, amusing and entertains for two hours,which, afterall, is the whole purpose of the theater, or atthe very least, of the comedy.

Some will wonder about the nature of our commenton the difficulty of setting the play. This is exactly themost striking success of the show. The first part of thefirst act makes use of the "orchestra" in a sober but inte-resting way. The second part of this act is set on thestage and depicts the laboratory of Doctor Faustus; andPaul Bromby made wonders with the few lights he usuallyhas at his disposal.

The second act is a wild attempt to produce a farcein its broader sense, turning to seriousness at the very end.

It is without any doubt the third act that we enjoyedthe most, not by the lines, not by the comic, but by thereally splendid attempt to bring to us an example of theCommedia Dell'Arte of the pantomime. It is true thatthis attempt is not pure, for the actors to say perfectlystudied lines which is contrary to the history of thatparticular expression of the art. But the colors, the lights,and the blocking, as well as the still-positions of theactors when required, prove the ability of John Gilland,the director of the play.

The fourth act is, of course, the sad end of DoctorFaustus.

Duke Ludwig is played by a young beginner, DickBogan, and we must say he is still a little shy on hismovements. But this is a minor point, and he gives us agood performance.

The Doctor of Medicine, Alan Horshdorfer (true namein true life), is very well done, and we wish some of thecast would learn a little from him on "how to feel atease on a stage." Though his gestures are very exaggerated,they never tire the spectator, for this is supposed to bea farce, and funny too, for those who played in it anddidn't know.

Faustus, played by Abe Bers, is very unsure of him-self in the first two acts, but his performance in the fourthact along with a very difficult speech perfectly felt andacted proves that he just needs a little warming.

A particular mention must be made to Thelma Gillandas Old Man Noah, and to Jack Rosenfeld (once more, yes)as Ezekial. Undoubtedly Jack Rosenfeld is an actor.

Theatrically speaking Professor Greene played his partperfectly straight as Mephistopheles or the Cardinal; nospecial mention should be given. However as The Playerin that superb scene of the Commedia Dell'Arte, ProfessorGreene was very good, adding to what we consider wasthe best part of the show and possibly one of the bestworked scenes in our MIT amateur theater.

The director, as mentioned before, is our well knownJohn Gilland, and he did a good job in spite of thedifficulties which include a very weak financial situation.

Faustus will also be presented next Friday, Saturday,and Sunday. Paul Bromby on the light designing shouldbe enough to take you to the show.

Pancho went to his room and lit a cigarette and pondered Ii isdread dilemma. What kind of cigarette did Pancho light? Why,Philip Morris, of corris!

Philip Morris is always welcome, but never more than whenyou are sore beset. When a fellow needs a friend, when the heartis dull and the blood runs like sorghum, then, then above all,is the time for the mildness, the serenity, that only Philip Morriscan supply.

Pancho Sigafoos, his broken psyche welded, his fevered browcooled, his synapses restored, after smoking a fine Philip Morris,came to a decision. Though he was a bit small for football (aneven four feet) and solnewhat overweight (427 pounds), he triedout for the team-and tried out with such grit and gumptionthat he made it.

Pancho's college opened the season against the ManhattanSchool of Mines, always a mettlesome foe, but strengthenedthis year by four exchange students from Gibraltar who had beensuckled by she-apes. By the middle of the second quarter tiheMiners had wrought such havoc upon Pancho's team that therewas nobody left on the bench but Pancho. And when thequarterback was sent to the infirmary with his head drivenstraight down into his esophagus, the coach had no-choice hutto put Pancho in.

Pancho's teammates were not conspicuously cheered as thelittle fellow took his place in the huddle.

"Gentleman," said Pancho, "some of you may regard poetryas sissy stuff, but now in our most trying hour, let us hark tothese words from Paradise Lost: 'All is not lost; the uncoIn-querable will and study of revenge, immortal hate, and couragenever to submit or yield!'"

So stirred was Pancho's team by this fiery exhortation thatthey threw themselves into the fray with utter abandon. Asa consequence, the entire squad was hospitalized before the half.The college was forced to drop football. Willa Ludowic, nothaving any football players to choose from, took up with Panchoand soon discovered the beauty of his soul. Today they are seeneverywhlere-dancing, holding hands, nuzzling, smoking.

Smoking what? Philip Morris, of corris! © 1958 s Shul'n..

And 'for you filter fanciers, the makers of Philip Morris giveyou a lot to like in the sensational Marlboro-filter, flavor,pack or box. Marlboro joins Philip Morris in bringing youthis column throughout the school year.

Science Professor Robley Evans of the MITRadioactivity Center received a size-able turnout to his call for radioacti-vated people. Among those who re-sponded to the advertisement placedon the first page of the New YorkTimes were two w-ho had drank manytimes the normal "safe dose'" ofradium.

One, a salesman, drank a radiumtonic to pep him up when he felt rundown. As vas common practice at thetime, his doctor did not oppose usingthe tonic and allowed him to drinkit. He bought 100 bottles of tonic butluckily was not able to buy more be-cause the manufacturing companywent out of business. Now, thirtyyears later, when he was tested forradioactivity by Professor Evans, hewas still found to possess seven timesthe normal "safe dose" for man.

1000 Times Safe DoseAnother case, a businessman, took

tonic forty yealrs ago but stopped thetreatment wvhen it gave him no relief.Later his joints began to creak andhis bones showed odd deposits. Pro-fessor Evans found twenty five timesthe normal "safe amount" still in hisbody and figures that he originallyconsumed 1000 times the safe dose.

These two people were especiallyfortunate in surviving without mishapbecause other tonic drinkers lost limbsor even their lives as a result of theeffects of the tonic. Those who did

suxvive. howevere, are in good healthnow and none of them have leukemia.

Standard May Be Too LowDr. Evans perhaps was overconser-

vative in 1941 when he set the "maxi-mumn permissible body burden" ofradium at one ten millionth of a gram.All subsequent radioactivity doseshave been based on the 1941 standardwhich maybe was too low. If this isthe case, much of the recent scareabout fallout can be ignored.

Lockheed Missile Systems Division is systems manager for such major, long-termprojects as the Navy Polaris IRBM; Air Force Earth Satellite, Q-5, X-7; Amy Kingfisherand other important research and development programs. The division was honoredat the first National Missile Industry Conference as "the organization that contributedmost in the past year to the development of the art of missiles and astronautics.

Headquarters for the Division are located at Sunnyvale, California, on the SanFrancisco Peninsula. Research and Development facilities are in the Stanford IndustrialPark in nearby Palo Alto. Other Division locations are at Van Nuys, Santa Cruz, andSanta Maria, California; Cape Canaveral, Florida; Alamogordo, New Mexico; andHawaii. Together, they provide complete facilities with the latest scientific and tech-nical equipment, including one of the most advanced computing centers in the nation.Employee benefits are among the best in the industry.

discovering they could ride on water.Meanwhile Officer Lucaelli showed no0concern for anthropology as he in.voked the wrath of God, requestingseveral freshman to remove their tin-can craft from the Charles.

The members of the Class of '62,wild and untamed by the Institute,wallowed in their element, barredtheir teeth, and conquered the sopho.mores in both tug-of-war contests. Asthe two teams of twenty-five men eachprepared for the first tug, on BriggsField, several freshman captured the'61 flag, and fled across the soccerfield. After a bit of a scuffle the flagwas found amidst six Field Day con-.testants each grabbing for the flag andoat the same time slugging the otherfive. When it became apparent thatthe six were all sophomores, the flagwas again hoisted upon the sopho.mores pole. The Class of '62 easilwon both the team and the unlimitetugs in about ten seconds for eachpull. These easy victories for thefreshmen resulted fromn their superiorstrategy: they kept their derrieresclose to the ground. A sophomore ex-plained that they too knew this strat-egy but, upholding their dignity, re-fused to stoop so low.

The totem pole race followed withfour teamns from each class carryinga thirty foot decorated telephone pole400 yards. The Class of '62 added tenpoints to the twenty points they hadwon in the two tugs-of-war as BethStrong, the JP queen, judged theirpole the better decorated. The Sopho-mores proved themselves gentlemen as they slowly but surely lost Field Dayto the freshman. On the third lap theflreshmen dropped their pole but '61square shooters all the way, immedi-ately dropped their pole. Resuming therace both teams ran abreast as theyapproached the finish line but thesophomores politely bowed to '62dropping the pole while '62 fell tovictory on the finish line winning fif-teen more points for themselves. De-spite the protests of several girlsBeaver Key disqualified the littlewhite dog that actually won the racon the grounds that it had not actual-ly carried a thirty-foot totem pole.

Cold Frosh GlovesThe featured and final event, the

Glove Fight, finally began after distribution of the gloves and arousinof spirit: sophomores cheered, thfreshmen screamed "Hate, hate, hate,"and certain of the spectators giggledAs the starting gun cracked the freshman, gathering all their orange glovethrew them into a 55 gallon drunwhich was partially buried in Oncorner of the field, and placed blockiof dry ice atop the gloves. This cleverimaginative device-and the 100 to la5freshmen guarding it-proved imponetrable to the sophomores who lost altheir gloves.

'61 gathered all their gloves andsmugly threw them into a heap upOwh ch sophomores threw themnselveiand then wrapped gloves and bodiein a fishnet. Beaver Key had absolutely no trouble penetrating'this defensziAs soon as the cry that someone 0the bottom of the pile was hurt canl,out, Beaver Key told the sophomnreito get off their gloves to release t injured man. Seeing their opportunitithe freshman decisively svept Pas3the astonished sophomores and threwthe blue '61 gloves into the her iaround the net.
