Like most fountain managers Bobgets pretty peeved at the wise guysin the crowd. However, he usuallypasses them off with a shrug. Hisphilosophy on this point is verysimple. "If you let them get yougoing, you're done. I Just crack ajoke and try to keep them happy,until I can put some food in theimouths,"

Nevertheless, Bob still has some

JOB WELL DONE

Political Issue IsDecided By NSA

Vote Not To EngageIn Partisan PoliticsIn a two-day conference of the

Northern New England Region ofthe NSA 1held last weekend on-theMount Holyoke campus, repre-sentatives of more than 30 col-leges and universities in Maine,Massachusetts, New Hampshire andVermont adopted a regional .con-stitution. The constitution declaresthat the association "shall speci-fically refrain from becoming in-volved in partisan political affairsor sectarian religious considera-]tions."

However, the former of the con-stitution made it clear that theyshall oppose any political doctrinewhich would stifle free and demo-cratic education in the UnitedStates. Ratification on the consti-tution will require an affirmativevote by two-thirds of the studentgovernments of the memberschools.

Technology was represented atthe conference by Eaxl W. Eames,'49; Rosemary Durnan, '48; Paul C.Johnson, '49; Morris Wasserstein,'49; Lloyd A. Haynes, '49, and FrankKellogg, 150.

MANLAGING BOARD

No. 23Vol. LXVII

By DAVID MARCUSIt has been said that an army

travels on its stomach, and as oneform of an army (in numbers,work), Technology is no exception.Doing his part in filling these Insti-tute stomachs is Robert Radocchia,almost universally known as Bob,who runs the lounge bar on the firstfloor in Walker Memorial, and whohas recently been appointed man-ager of the ultra-new lounge up-stairs in Walker Memorial.

Feeding an army is no noveltyfor Bob, for during the war thirteenhundred soldiers ate every meal atWalker Memorial. Throughout thattime, he was, as he explains it,"working anywhere and doing any-thing." At the outbreak of warBob was already working in theLounge Bar, having been promotedfrom the kitchen to that position.

Bob is married and the proudpapa oftwo daughters. The young-est arrived at the end of last term,and for a while Bob looked as if hewere taking final exams. One hadto check pretty carefully on whatwas ordered and what was receivedin those trying days. A three dayvacation helped immensely!

it's hard to find a person whodoesn't speak highly of the "Boss"of the Lounge Bar. From M r.Bridges, who says that Bob's char-acter and work are of the highestorder, down to the poor freshmanwho only wants a hot dog and somepeace out of life, it is generallyagreed that the Lounge Bar doeswonders considering the enormouscrowd it accommodates every day.

Bob passes most of the compli-

quizzes for taking the wind out ofthe new men. Others blame theSophomores for their lack of ini-

tiative in hazing. In previous yearsthe weeks before Field Day were

filled with pseudo-outrages com-mitted on the freshmen by the

older men. No reports of damp

freshmen being fished out of theCharles or of ties being strung

across Technology Bridge have beenreceived this year.

Sophs Garner Sound TruckSophomore stalwarts, it is ru-

mored, have managed to obtain asound truck with which to cheer

their men to victory and hurl in-sults on the freshmen during cru-

cial periods of the contest. To addto the colorful events the R.O.T.C.band will be on hand to toot the

boys to victory regardless of theirclass.

On hand in any case will be theMarshals and Ushers from the up!per two classes who will keep orderand judge the contests. Chief Mar-shall G. Kendall Parmelee andChief Usher Ronald Green predictthat through the unbiased servicesof their respective corps both sidestwill be given completely equal]chances to demonstrate their su-iperiority.

One change has been broughtinto the scoring schedule this year.The glove fight, traditional end ofField D:ay and end of many aSophomore and freshman, will bea warded on -a percentage basis.The large number in the freshmanclass gives the Sophomores toogreat an advantage in the struggleto obtain the elusive gloves so thisyear the respective numbers in theclasses will be taken into considera-tion before the three points areawarded.

candy, and cigarettes by the Berk-shire County Disaster Service ofthe AmericanL Red Cross. Theofficial count of 323 men was madeat this time. Groups of men weretaken in trucks of -the Massachu-setts National Guard and the Con-servation Department towards theburning area. There they patrolledthe edge of the burned area in,several groups seeing that emberswere confined to the territoryalready burned over.

After the patrolling duties werecarried out the group cut across anactively burning area to anotherbase, Hutchinson post. The confla-gration, a brush fire, was confinedto the wood and dry leaves whichwere more than ankle deep; littledamage to -the trees themselveswas in evidence. At one point alonga ridge a one hundred foot frontof fire with flames about three orfour feet high was visible about300 feet below. The major portionof the men reached Hutchinsonpost by 11:30, and were sent to thePittsfield Armory by truck, for thenight.

At 8: 00 am. the men were boldthat they were to remain at the.armory until called for and thatthree groups would be needed atnoon, 6:00 p.m. and midnight.

Everett W. Baker, DeanMass. Institute of Technology

Two weekends ago the first Intramural Folotball Tourna-ment to be run under the M.I.T. Athletic Association, and Mr.Geiger, the Athletic Director, got off to, an auspicious start.It was generally agreed that the present tournament is a greatimprovement over the past, and it is steadily getting better asthe students in charge gain experience.

The main fault iolf past tournaments, namely the lack ofofficials and a uniform set of rules has been almost completelyremedied. Students have been trained for the past four weeksto officiate at these games. Two officials have been assignedto each game, and as of this week we understand there will bethree. At the beginning there were some cases of disrespectto the officials and some misunderstandings about their care-fully planned rules but this too is improving as all concernedare getting used to the program.

Also the set-up of four leagues and double elimillationls isworking out quite satisfactorily as each team plays at least twogames before it is out of competition.

Then there are stall improvements to make the runningof the -individual games more smooth. The officialss halve beensupplied with jerseys, whistles and horns, and at least one teamin each game is wearing distinguishing jerseys.

The scheduling has gone quite well with very few post-poned games in comparison to previous years, although sometrouble was encountered when darkness cut into the regulartime of some of the late afternoon games.

How~ever, in general nothing but high praise is in order foarthe Athletic Associationl, the officials at the games, and thestudents participating who are for the most part displaying ahard, clean, and fast brand of touch football which is makingthis an outstanding intramural football tournament.

JUST PLAIN STUDENTS AGAINWith the passing of the M.I.T. Veterans Association, an

era in the history of Technology has definitely come to an end,namely that of post-war readjustment of veterans to the pre-war status-quo in the field of student activities. We're gladthat this has come about so quickly for it is an indication thatthe so-called "veterans' problem" is in reality no problem atall. And we're not mourning the fact that M.I.T.V.A. has fadedout of the picture. In our opinion, the organization is no longerr eally needed on the campus.

When we say this, we do not mean to slam the VeteransAssociation for we think it did a good service for the veteranswho actually Joined, and to all Institute dischargees, who bene-fited from the Veteran's View, a weekly mimeographed publica-tion which printed news pertinent to veterans. The lecturesM.I.T.V.A. sponsored, such as the forum on Universal MilitaryTraining, were important and most of its other activities wereundoubtedly beneficial to the veteran body at Technology.

But as against its good points, there were various factorsweighing against the organization and these were undoubtedlythe cause for its decline and ultimate passing way. For onething, many of the activities carried out by M.I.T.V.A. dupli-cated those already being undertaken by the regular activitieswith a result that each organization affected suffered to someextent. For another, there was never a real attempt made toget veterans from all living groups to join in large numberswith the result that most of M.IT.V.A.'s membership was con-centrated in the dormitories. The real cause for M.I.T.V.A.'spassing, however, was probably the fact that it carried on nopolitical activity, for which the organization certainly cannotbe criticized, in that it was merely an organization representingthe veterans on campus. They were much too eager, however,to get back to their pre-war status as Just plain students anddid not want or need to be represented. An attempt to segre-gate the veterans from the other students was thus doomed tofailure.

It is significant that even with the number-of veteransthat entered the Institute with the last two classes, M.I.T.V.A.couldn't find enough new members and even the old ones lostinterest. We think its Executive Committee wras very wise inits action to disband the venture.

McCarthy Sees GoodSeason for Varsity

The word from Coach Henry P.McCarthy, Tech's varsity basketballcoach, indicates that our team willbe stronger than ever. A large show-ing of recruits turned out for prac-tice during the past week and a cutis under way to get the squad downto a workable size.

Although some varsity men fromlast year's team were lost, manyreturning veterans will see action.Lou Morton, Doug Watson, Jim Mad-den, Ed Corrie, Bob Deutsch, DickRorschach, Bill McGourm and PhilSkorve from last year's squad areback and are the main reason forMac's confidence. A tough sched-ule lies ahead, but Tech shouldhave a team ready to meet its oppo-sition on more than equal terms.

Wien the teams representingthe classes of 1950 and 1951 meeton the football flel-d tomorrow, itwill be the freshmen, who are beingclassed, by those who. are supposedto know, as the under dog. Thereason for this balance of power tobe on the Soph team is that obser-vations made on Brlggs FMeld inthe past few weeks have shownthat the same members of the teamdo not show up at practice everynight. This will "naturally" tend toslow the team down because theboys don't get used to playing witheach other.

It was evident in the recentscrimmage with the Northeasternfrosh, played at Briggs Field lastSaturday afternoon, -that the Techfrosh were not used to working asa composite group. The fnal scoreof that scrimmage Northeastern22, Tech 0.

Coach Oscar Hedlund believesthat Rhode Island State is theteam to beat in the New Englandchampionships, and not the Uni-versit y team. He expects Tech toplace ahead of the University ofMassachusetts' team in the cham-pionships.

Freshmen TakeNational CrownIn Team Sailing

Individual LaurelsCaptured by HarvardWith Tech Second

Tech's freshmen skippers amasseda 172-point total to capture theteam crown of the National Fresh-men Dinghy Championships sailedon the Charles River Basin lastweekend. Harvard, whose FrankScully nosed out the Engineers' BobNickerson for individual laurels,was second with 153 points.

Wifth the first five teams finish-ing within an eight-point range, theI.C.Y.R.A. Star Class Championshipat New London, also a weekendevent, went to Harvard skippersOwen Torrey and Hilary Smart forthe second straight year, whileTech's F'red Blatt itook third.

Third event of the busy I.C.Y.R.A.weekend, the twelfth Brown FallRegatta, was copped by the hostSeekonk sailors, winners of theD:anmark Trophy earlier in the sea-son. Technology trailed Brown,Coast Guard and Harvard to an-nex fourth place.

Tomorrow and Sunday will markthe climax of [the Fall racing sea-son when MI.T. plays host to adozen college teams competing inthe Seventh Annual Fall Open In-vitation Regatta for the Erwin H.Schell Trophy.

Sailing with substantial winds onthe opening day but with onlyzephyr-like puffs on Sunday, theteam of Bob Nickerson and HowardFawcett rolled to victory over theten-college field to bring Technol-ogy its~third team championship inthe nationals since inauguration ofthe event in 1941.

with Milt Rand, Jim Veras, andHarry Falcao fight-ing for the Car-dinal ui-n4'a:refts, 'Tech held andlkept'-de COtrimson on the defensethe rdst of the half.

The~ second half saw the pressurecontinued by the Beavers and whena Harvard defense player caused afree shot for Technology? HarryFalcao- tied the score with a goal.

After the' foiath quarter started,the action: became more furiousthan ever with-Harvard now alsodoing the attacking. With but tenminutes to go, BEin got his secondgoal of the day--when he repeatedhis specialty during a lapse in theBeaver defense. Though Tech triedhard to even up the score oncemore, all attempts were futile.

Coach Thomas was well pleasedwith the Tech players perform-ances, anl expressed his opinionthat with a break or two the scoremight have been reversed.

Last Saturday the Tech JV-Freshman team defeated SuffolkUniversity's Varsity team 1-0 atBrigg's field. The game was ratherrough with the two teams veryevenly matched.

This Saturday the varsity travelsto Troy, N. Y., to meet RP.I. TheNew York Engineers must be heldas slight favorites, but with theright spirit the visiting team fromMIT could win.

Usborne SeeksWorld CharterDraft by 1950

British M.P. ThinksStrong Central BodyNeeded to Avoid War

British Parliament member HenryUsborne spoke Monday in 10-250under the sponsorship of the Lec-ture Series Committee on the sub-ject of World Government.

Opening with a reasoned explan-ation of the urgent need for somekind of central and powerful worldunion, Mr. Usborne went on topropose a possible plan to achievethis end. According to the hopesof the committee he repesents,there will be held in the fall of1950 a Peoples' World Constitu-tional Assembly to draft a charter.

At present the predominant feel-ing in Europe, the speaker claimed,is that war is inevitable in thevery near future unless somethingdrastic is done quickly. Moreover,they think that it will be a war ofannihilation, with possibly GreatBritain the Pearl Harbor of thefuture.

Mr. Usborne stated that to him"the price of peace is justice," notdollars or power as most Americansseem to think. Since it is impossibleto have justice without a coded law,we must have a more effective legis-lature and the most important andnecessary corollary, an effective en-forcement agency. To this endnations must be willing to give upsome of their sovereign power,which the United Nations did notachieve.
