However the question was rais-ed as to whether such changeswould really solve the problem.For exaxnple, would students cur-rently living in apartments bewilling to move back to on-cam-pus residences, even if these pro-vided cooking and i other ad-vantages of independent living.
No solutionSome students thought mt.
"There will always be those who
By Bob HorvitzThe "Foxhole Theory of Under-
graduate Residene," wherebystudents retreat to their individ-ual living groups for relief fromthe daily "war" here at the Insti-tute, was one of a number of ideasdiscussed at the all-day InstituteCommittee Housing Coniferenceheld Saturday.
The "Foxhole Theory," whichwas proposed by. Chief Psychia-trist Dr. Benson Snyder, impliesthat the nature of MlVT's residen-tial system necessly fails toprovide any real connection be-tween a student's housing and histotal education. In fact, it seemsas if many students use their res-idences as retreats from the aca-demic environment of the Insti-tute.

Firs, long-rangehousing plans .might include me-thods of providing residences fora greater number.of students clo-ser to the Institute. Both the con-struction of additional dormitoriesand the moving of all fraternitiesto Cambridge were considered to-wards this aim.
like to retreat away from cam-pus," explained Steve Douglas '67.
A second possible solution to theproblem of the "Foxhole Theory"was presented. Residences mightbe set up according to studeat'sacademic areas of study. For ex-ample, all course VI majors mightlive in an Electrical EngineeringHouse. This proposal met withconsiderable student OppOSition.

Melvyn Basan '69 of BurtonHouse has also carried on astrong publicity campaign, includ-ing drop posters in the lobby ofBuilding 10 and huge computerprint-outs.
Dave Pack '68, from SeniorHouse, has already collected some$20 toward his total. Charles La-wine '69 of Baker House has alsocarried on a strong campaign towin the title of UMOC.
All four candidates are now con-fident of victory.
Voting for the ugliest man willbe held in the lobby of Building10 starting today and lasting untilFriday of this week. Votes maybe cast only by purchasing bal-lots at one cent apiece.

bringing MIT to the "foxhole" byscheduling small classes (such asseminars) in individual livinggroups. These might even- be cen-tered around meals to further addto the informality of the situation.
Although this plan would havethe disadvantage of not providingstudents with contacts with thosefrom other living groups, it wasfelt that this problem was out-weighed' by the increased person-al student-faculty relations possi-ble. Also, since this arrangementcould only be for a few appropri-ate courses, students would stillmeet others in their remainingsubjects.
This program will be institutedon an experimental basis nextterm. For example, professors willprobably meet with students intheir living groups once weeklyfor 3 hours at a time.

Also discussed at the housing
conference was the long-range fu-
ture of fraternities and dormi-
tories. With the construction ofMacGregor Dormitory and the es-
tablishment of a dormitory"rush," it seems as if the natureof these two living group types isbecoming much closer. However,it was agreed that even with suchchanges, dormitories would never
really be able to replace the fra-ternity system.
Plans for future dormitory ac-comodations were also consider-ed. For example, East Campusmight be either closed or reno-vated; Ashdown House might beused for further undergraduatehousing; and new dormitories, inaddition to MacGregor, might beconstructed on the eastern and/orwestern portion of the campus.

(Continued from Page 1)I didn't want to do. One wasteaching, and the other, becominginvolved in administrative work."For the past 21 years, however,Professor Houghton has been headof the Department of Meteorologyand what he calls "a part-timeprofessor." As department head,it is inevitable that he shouldfind himself "pushing papers,"but Professor Houghton believesthat "As long as I'm at MIT andour business is education, I wantto be a part of it." As a result,he remarks, "I behave like a pro-fessor part of the time." Profes-sor Houghton currently teachesthe courses 'Physical Meteorolo-gy' (19.72), 'Physical Oceanogra-phy' (19.83), and the 'Meteoro-logical Seminar I' (19.91).
Considering his own career,Dr. Houghton suggests, "This isnot the most efficient way to be-come a meteorologist." Nonethe-less, he is of the opinion that "Ifyou have a reasonable backgroundin science or engineering, you

have cornsiderable mobility." Hisbelief that what is significant is"the method of thinking aboutproblems rather than the particu-lar subject matter," is crucial tohis educational philosophy.
Finds time for researchIn addition to his role as de-
partinent head and professor, Dr.Houghton also finds time for "alittle bit of research." For ex-ample, he is currently undertak-ing a careful analysis of raimak-ing. Yet another of his interestsis indicated in that he was in-strumental in the formation. ofthe National Center for Atmos-pheric Research in Boulder, Colo-rado, in 1959, and served as firstchairman of its board.
For an individual with no for-mal training in meteorology andno contact with the field until hispost-graduate years, Dr. Hough-ton has certainly done ratherwell in that field. Perhaps thisreflects the truth of his claimthat, to a large extent, "meteo-rology, like electrical engineering,is simply applied physics."

Last spring, in the hope of intiating ac dialogue, we printed the Viet Nam viewsu of representatives from these two groups

Reserve ticketsTo the Editor:
As one of those people whostood in line for tickets to Marat/Sade, I would like to extend mysympathy to 'MIT's only expert in20th century German literature.'It certainly is a shame when aprofessor can't get tickets by pull-ing strings. I trust that in thefuture the LSC will lay aside 1/2to 2/3 of the tickets to events ofthis nature for those whose 'spe-cial interest' doesn't extend tostanding in line.

ProtestationsT6 the Editor:
I should like to protest the un-reasoned cacophony found in thelobby of building 10. The use ofmusic reproducing devices by anygroup who has need of themshould be continued, however, Iwould suggest that the leaders ofthese groups should decide amongthemselves- whose music shouldbe heard at what time.
I think the use of music is animportant advertising and educa-tional asset as it is usually pre-sented, but its use this last weekserved neither purpose. Many ofus were only motivated to passthrough as quickly as possible.
The East-West music war isreally asinine. The leaders of allgroups concerned should haveenough sense to know this and tostop the 'ear pollution.'
In regard to the political speak-ers who have attracted audiencesin building 10, I would suggestthat they please move back to-ward the windows so as not toallow their listeners to block thepassageway through the building.I welcome their enthusiastic pro-testations and I realize the neces-sity of a warn place to take astand, but I would ask that theydo not obstruct the passage ofindividuals who do not or can notchoose to listen.
As for the Student Center Li-brary problem, I would ask thatthe librarians not be forced into
being policemen against theirwill, although perhaps it. is ideal-istic to expect that' the slobsshould control themselves. Thepresent loose structure of the li-brary is an asset. Most of us areabove high school age and shouldappreciate what 'good sense'means. Since your editorial I'venoted fewer marks of the slobs.Let's hope all marks will disap-pear with time.
Steven Pecsenye '69
DiscontentTo the Editor:
I'm writing this letter in thehope that the discontent I expresswill be recognized and acted uponby our student body. My concernis not so much for myself as formany of my friends who are nowbrothers of fraternities, and forthose freshmen who will becomeMIT's fraternity men of the fu-ture.
Strangely enough a large num-ber of MIT brothers who I've talk-ed with are opposed to the fra-ternal philosophy as they've un-derstood it at MIT. They are vio-lently opposed to the methods andideology of rush as well as thegeneral 'fraternity attitude' whichthey would attribute, in a largedegree, to the competition broughtabout by MIT's rush system.
When speaking about studentswho are not yet brothers, I amforced to generalize (I believe ac-curately) from the first handmknowledge I do have. I can only
hope that what I say can be re-futed for as many houses as pos-sible.
It is my contention that due tothe philosophy of rush week it isimpossible for an incoming stu-dent to make an accurate apprai-sal of a fraternity. I also feel thatuntil a student becomes a brother,that is until after he has pledged,he is being deceived. In fact rushas practiced at MIT is in manycases immoral and in some caseseven illegal.
It appears self-evident to methat we are in need of a comn-
prehensive re-evaluation of ourfraternity system.

I am re-ferring, of course, to your out-moded and overly-moldied cur-few system which, after 1:00a.m., is more reminiscent ofCheck-Point Charlie than a wom-en;s domitory. 1 suppose, how-ever, that it is much safer fora girl to register in one build-
_ing and have a stalwart, brave,upright, decent, and pure guardescort her to another building,which just happens to be on theother side of the -campus, thanto have the girl's morally cor-rupted date drive her to herdorm door.
Perhaps this method of reg-istering after 1.00 a.m., althoughludicrous itself, is not as im-portant as the curfew system
employed in nearly all privatewomen's schools, includingyours. You pride yourselves inthe "honor system," and in mostcases would stake any integrity-n it; yet you refuse to allowyour students to fully partakein a total honor system, whichwould include private choice ofreturning, departure, and sleep-ing times, by using a punish-ment system as the motivationfor your evening moral code.
(Haven't you heard of posi-tive reinforcement, Walden,too?) To me, that system reeksof hypocritidal immaturity. Areyou interested in producing a"Wheaton Woman" by confiningher to your campus a greatfraction of the day, or are youreally concerned with producinga real woman? Your methodscompel me to believe the for-mer.
I would sincerely like to seeyour administrators stop tyingto breast-feed "your" studentswith their Starlac of distrustand give them the chance tosever an already withered um-bilical cord.
A socially concernedMIT Senior

Jewish rightsTo the Editor:
The help of the MIT Communityis once again needed. The Jewsof the Soviet LnAon are facinggradual strangulation. Russia issystematically depriving them ofthe cultural, religious, and evenhuman rights which they allowall other groups, and which SovietJewry desperately desires. OnlyJews are forbidden to studyabroad, for example, and onlyJewish prayer books and Biblesare denied publication. Sovietnewspapers conduct systematicattacks against Jewish citizensand institutions; they implicateand ridicule whole fanilies forimagined economic crimes. Syna-
gogues have been closed or mys-teriously burned, and even the
blood accusation has been revivedin same areas.
The argument that Russian
Jews are not interested in Jewishculture or religion is false. Thous-
ands of Jews gather in the streetbefore the Moscow synagogue
every year at the Rejoicing of theLaw-the one time they do so
without fear of economic repri-
sals. The few concerts given byIsraeli performers are filled to
capacity. And visitors to Russiarepeatedly tell of the concern
Jews there express for their fu-ture. Soviet Jews ask only for
the rights that Russia grantsevery other religious or cultural
denomination, rights guaranteedto them by the Soviet Consttution.
Three years ago the MITCommunity joined with otherBoston schools and circulated apetition to the Soviet governmentexpressing concern for SovietJewry. This y e a r Americansacross the country are holdingsimultameous programs on Decem-ber 11, Hunma Rights Day. Thestudent organization in Boston hasplanned, as part of the Bostonrally, a silent protest march be-ginning at 1:00 p.m. that Sundayfrom the Public Gardens. Russiais influenced by world opinion;they recalled t h e antisemitic'Judaism Without Embellishment'because of it. Thiz_ December Lt.march is the time and place forthe MIT community to show itsconcern.

Staff problemTo the Editor:
Just an unimportant friendlylittle gripe concerning our stead-ily improving Music Departmenthere at Tech.
Instructors in music courses areforced to waste their timne in classdrawing musical staffs on theboard with rulers and chalk. Ifthe Institute is completely againstpainting lines on the blackboardsof rooms like 2-190 (used for21.81), perhaps those in chargecould be convinced to obtain a de-vice in which eight pieces of chalkare placed. These five equallyspaced pieces of chalk can then,with a quick flick of the wrist,create a musical staff in no tOneflat!

Well, a funny thing is going tohappen on the way to the future:
You're going to have to thinkharder and longer than ever.
Computers can't dream up thingslike Picturephone service, Telstar®satellite, and some of the otheradvances in communications wehave made. Of course, we dependedon computers to solve some of theproblems connected with theirdevelopment. But computers needabsolutely clear and thoroughinstructions, which means a new andtougher discipline on thehuman intelligence.
And it will take more than a computerto create a pocket phone the sizeof a matchbook, let's say... or find

By Jeff StokesAccording to playwright John
Arden, 'Armstrong's Last Good-night' is a play 'founded upon his-tory; and indeed it comes closeto being a cross between Shake-speare's 'Macbeth' and Sir WalterScott's Rob Roy. A student ofScottish or English history wouldsurely find this play fascinating,especially as it is presented in theScots 'language'. But amongst thelaymen 'Armstrong's Last Good-night' will probably meet mixedreactions, for several reasons.
One of these reasons is that weusually go to the Theatre Com-pany of Boston's productions ex-pecting a more contemporaryscene, wiuth profou-ind, npoetic linesreflecting the existential trend ofmodern thinking. The Arden playis almost reversion to (or revivalof, depending on your tastes intheatre) the Elizabethan era;Johnny Armstrong has all the el-ements of a tragic hero, exceptthat he doesn't speak, in iambicpentameter.
A variety of tonguesThe lines are poetic, provided
one can grasp enough of the dia-lect; and this brings us to thesecond reason why many peoplemay feel a sense of frustration at
this play. The program includesa short glossary of Old Scotsterms, which, unfortunately, isn'tquite complete. It turns out youhave to know a little French,since Sir Davis Lindsay and hisparamour decide to converse fora while in that language; and aknowledge of German may helpyou with some of tle Sots dia-lect.
A complex subjectThus for a full appreciation of
Arden's work one has to untangleboth the language and the chaoticpolitical condition of the Scottish-English border in the fifteenthand sixteenth centuries. At thetime of the play, around 1530, itwas the custom of the Englishlandlords and Scottish lairds alongthe border to exchange raids oneach other's livestock. King Jamesthe Fifth, then in his teens, andhis attendant Lords became con-

cerned lest the rampages of theseborder chieftains bring on anotherwar with England. One of thesechieftains was John ArmnstrongLaird of Gilnockie, and the playdeals with the efforts of the King,and of his Herald and Tutor, Da-vid Lindsay, to bring this outlawto execution.
The tragic heroArmstrong is a crudely magni.
ficent man, a kind of Nietzscheanlion, and a philosopher of 'fra-ternal' feudalism. He has idealsthat are part 6f his grand ego-tism, an egotism that is easilyflattered into trusting the King;and thus he is brought down bythe wiles of lesser men than him-self. Crafty Ulysses survived theTrojan expedition, while great sol-diers fell all around him; and solives on David Lindsay, eyes,ears and policy maker of theKing, as well as his schemingparamour, who has collaboratedin Armstrong's downfall.
In the program notes Ardenpoints out that he hopes to showa .basic similarity between themoral problems of the Scottishborder wars and those of the Con-go conflict. The appreciation ofthis aspect of the play thus re-quires some sophistication on thesubject of the Congo, which islikewise an intricate and entang-led affair.
Breadth of talentAnd so you will have to go and
decide for yourself whether itleaves you warm or cold. It is arather grim play, sometimes tothe point of being lugubrious;there is a trace of the Shakepear-can wit, however, even though theplay may not have the universalappeal of the Elizabethan mas-ter's work.
For a cast composed entirelyor almost entirely of Americans,the Scots dielect was reproducedfairly well. Charles Siebert asSir David Lindsay and Jose-phine Lane as his mistress areexcellent performers.
Larry Bryggman as John Armn-strong is a powerful and convin-cing tragic hero; and in generalthe supporting roles were effec-tively carried out. The Companyhas demonstrated the breadth ofits talents, and if the play is abit abstruse, the actors are cer-tainly not at fault.,,05505050000000800000

By Paul BakerFrosh sports got into the swing
of the winter season last week-end, as four teams (basketball,fencing, indoor track,-and swim-ming) competed in opening tilts.
The hoopsters split their twocontests, outbattling Trinity 96-85Thursday night in overtime, andlosing to Wesleyan 78-72 Saturday.
Thursday's match was a see-saw affair in which the leadchanged hands several times.
Down 81-79 with five seconds re-maining, Tech's Bob Vegeler knot-ted the score with a layup. Ithe erfring overtime period, .theEngineers completely outhustled
Trinity, scoring 15 points to their3.
Bruce Wheeler paced the en-gineers, scoring 35 points. JohnVliet chipped in 20, and SteveChamberlain 19. Bob Vegeler andNick ,Mumford played excellentboard ganes and added 11 and 10points, respectively.
Wesleyan Tops HIoopstersSarday the freshman play was
disappointing as they blew a 19point lead in losing to Wesleyan.Tech was very ragged in the fisthalf, but still managed to build a17 point lead, due to the outstand-ing shooting of Steve Chamber-lain. On the whole, the team haddifficulty scoring; they missedseveral layups, dropped passesand threw the ball away.
As the second half started, theengineers settled down and helda 6041 advantage. Wesleyan sud-denly caught fire, however, andchipped away the lead. With onlya few minutes remaing, theysurged ahead and hung on ,to a78-72 victory.
For 1, Chamberlain led thescoring conne for 27 points.Bob Vegeler played well, pullingdown rebounds aid scoring clutchpoints. Bruce Wheeler, wifh 10,ran into foul trouble and missedpart of the game.
