The Great Domie, symbol of thetriumphs and fear-s of the maany MITundergraduates of the past went sail-ing skyward along with such assort-ed items as Voo Doo, B & P, andother, heritages, as an atomic blastshook the surrounding countryside.

The inushrooming cloud of tubes,tests, and ungraded freshman labsspewed into the morning sky as thegigantic skyball startled inhabitantsof towins as far away as Providence,Rhode Island.

The mayor of Cambridge, AntonioDeSapyo, hailed the explosion as agreat step forward--" Now we arerid of May Day riots, hitchhikers,and sloppily-garbed intellectual idi-ots. And in addition, the blast hascleared the atmosphere of the soapand chocolate odor which has char-acterized our faiir city."

Majority of Institute IntactThe true heart of the Institute-

its personnel--has survived the holo-caust. However, nearly all the physi-cal plant has lbeen blown to partsunknown. Left in the spot which thebeautiful cantinms had occupied wasa smokinig mnass of indistinguishabledtbris. One survivor was found amidthe rubble searching foi- his glassesand muttering "Dear me, now I'llnever clamp down on those hotp)lates."

Stratton SaysPresident Stratton said, in an ex-

clusive interview with a Reamer re-p)orter, "MlIT has weathered worsestorms in the year-s behind her. I sus-p)ect that we shall not he disappoint-ed by the basic niature of the MITman.

for the {aritimeInstitute of Tech-n10ogy. The entire

physical plant ofthe former Insti-

Commodore Ju-liu s Stratton, Mskipper of the

school, hailed the ''

move as "a great

step forward inthe fig'ht to better -~

prepare our stu- ,";4 dents for the ad-justment to theworld ahead." He

added, "WNe shalltry to maintain the friendly andpersonal atmos-phere which pre-Vaded tlhe oldMIT."

First Mlate JohnRule, consulting,

impo,'tant aspects of college lifesuch as pDersonality development, lifeadjustmenit, etc."

so I polished it a littlerjust a little,mind you. And then the whole g ------business started to rock and Iscreamied. A few minues later every-body left."

(ContiiCed on pag.eC 2)Fast on the heels of the mov-e into

the sea came the announcemnent from

high administration officials of a tui-tion incirease to "hell) defray ex-pelnses" aund to "provide the studentbod0y with some of the comforts pre-viouslv denied due to lack of suffi-cint funds."

Ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00)Per year is the figure, and the imn-pIrov·emnents planned are listed in athree-volume report handed down

yesterday after a violent Corpora-ti0n meeting aboard the SS Dande-

lion, niew MIT headquarters.Faculty Frolic

Top on the priority list is a newand better Faculty Club. First MateRule, already settled on board theDandelion, had this to say when con-tactee by Reamer reporters: "We

felt that the best thing for the stu-

Idents would be a happy faculty. Go-ink along with this idea, it seemedto the Corporation that the Clubw0ould hell) retain an esprit, de corps

a1mon1 the faculty and adniiiistra-tion which would have good effects0n the student body. A happ~y facul-ty mremans happy students."

Undlaunted by the explosive eventsof the past few days, Chief Stew-

aid Fred Fassett remarked, "W'ell,IM0w that we have thre funds, wNe can

encourage the 2'ight kind of atmos-1)hlee. O1)en house hours and hotplates a1.e things of the past. W;ithAIIT dockjing at a different portevery w~eekend, we should have anentirely new nicd refreshing roster ofComplaints and rules."

Student Gover-nment gets theirs inthe form11 of $2.5 per student to beUsed for, whatever purpose they seefit. Top Swab Sprague, speaking forthe entire ShipsCamml, commente d,"e sCee fit to use this as a holding

account to be used as we see fit."The Administratio n has released

the destro of their new Executive

This isan old pr1incille, first usedt by theGreeks at Thernolylm.."

Pointing out that the increase, -washigher than had been expected, Bo-sun Holden emplhasiz ed the goodlwhich would derive to the studentsas a result. The example he cited toback up his statement -was the Float-ing Cool).

editorialThe Institute's recent decision to establish a Center for Clairvoyance and

Mesmerism marks a significant step forward in man's goal to fathom theunknown. Throughout the ages man has attempted to bridge the gap betweenthe here and the hereafter. Now for the first time some of the world's mightiestscientific minds will come to grips with this problem.

When the planned S10 million electronic seance machine atop ComptonLabs goes into operation unlimited advantages will accrue to the entire MITCommunity. Entire freshman 21.01 sections can attune to Thoreau and Platoby simply plugging into clairvoyance equations, freeing the humanities stafffrom classroom work for the more important task of correcting themes.

Big names like Kant and Spinoza will be listed in the catalogue asProfessors absentia of humanities, finally ending worries over spiralling facultysalaries and our standing in the university community.

Of course, there will be problems. We do not now know what effect this-w ill have on the current humanities staff, long fond of theorizing and insistingon hidden motives of the ancients as expressed in their writings. Then too,people like Plato inay not een be good instructors; however it is doubtfulthe Institute sees this as a serious drawback.

The Daily Reamer salutes this scientific effort to subdue nature's lastfrontier.

collegie WHIA-The new pastimes of college men everywhere come rolling into this

writer in too ,great a number to print in tote. From Iowra University comes areport of a cigarette smoking contest. One very nervous student now holds the

record-he smoked 442 cigerettes simultaneously. Unfortunately he died twvodays later of a very severe case of lung cancer.

At another midwestern school the administration became quite worriedat the constant efforts of the students to build snow barricades across majorhighways, so they gave the enthusiasts a chance to let off steam by allowingthem to erect huge piles of snow on the football field. Well, this the under-grads did - and they ended up with a pile that covered the entire field andis 200 feet high. Now, with Spring approaching there is great fear that thething will melt and wash away the grandstands - and even worse, that itvon't melt at all which will force the university to drop its football program

next fall.From our own school comes a report that a group of students very nearly

set the Harvard Bridge in resonance. The collapse of the structure was pre-vented only by the intervention of a civic minded group of Course II instructors.

"TouchU, varlets!" cried Altos, skewering four of

the King's Enemies like shish kebab upon his gleam-

ing blade. Turning calmly, he watched Pathos and

Bathos wrestle the fiendish English archvillain, Lord

Half-Nelson, to the floor, and subdue him.

"Well done, rare comrades!" he shouted. "France issaved! Let us go to my aunt's nearby castle, for rest

and Schaefer beer."

"Let us retire to the anteehambers!" his valiant

friends huzzahed. "Schaefer's got a smooth round

taste--never sharp, never flat."

The gay blades were taking their ease in the great

banquet hall when Skip the Page entered, carrying

gleaming silver tankards and a single bottle of

Schaefer.

"Hallo! Just one for all?" expostulated Bathos in-

credulously.

"No, all for one!" exclaimed the greedy Pathos,

snatching up the beer.

"En garde, Pathos!" murmured Altos. buckling his

swash and reaching for his foil.

The Rattle Theater is currently showing another of their fine fhlms "Storyof A Romance." This wonderful picture portrays the poignant love story oftwo yaks in the wilds of Outer Mongolia, and was filmed by natives in stun-ning black and white with an original Daguerre camera. This is true art, in itsmost refined, cosmopolitan, plastic form.

The story in brief: Muk-luk, a yak owned by an humble peasant, falls inlove with Rahg-bate, a beautiful yak of noble blood. He cannot hope to winher because of her royal position, and besides, she is destined for the DalaiLhama's larder as soon as she reaches the optimum weight of 2500 lbs. Thestory itself makes the film worth going to see; but besides, the director hasblended in touches of comedy. Muk-luk catches the mange, and there are somevery amusing shots of the heroic yak with all his hair fallen out. (Contrary toHollywood, foreign film-makers are not afraid to poke fun at their heroes!)But this mishap turns into a windfall; the yak is mistaken for a sacred Brahma,and wanders into the royal stable in search of his belo-ved. He is too late, andthere is infinite pathos in the scene where Muk-luk watches his darling beingcarved into filets. Grief-stricken, the yak ~'anders into a courtyard where heis killed when Lowvell Thomas Sr. (the only human to appear in the film) fallson his head fronm a third-story window.

There are a few shots of the scenery, but in the main the director doesnot allow the landscape to detract from this touching, simple story. In fact, formost of the picture the background was completely out of focus, which givesthe film a very clever, surrealistic effect.

In summinig up. "Story of A Romance" is a wonderful work of art anda delicious change from the noisy and distracting works Hollywrood invariablyturns out. Go see it, for this is truly plastic. -JPF Jr.

Machine Analysis to Grand Expose of Chemistry StaffBe Required Next Brew Kettles Found in Boiler RoomFall for Freshmen

After considerable research by theelectrical and mechanical engineeringdepartments in conjunction with sev-eral outstanding undergraduates, MIThas completed the curriculum for anew compulsory course in gadget-aided vending machine analysis. Itwas decided by the administration'sCommittee on Practical EducationalPolicy to make the subject requiredin the first term of the freshmanyear, as the material offered can beof inestimable value during the yearsat the Institute as well as during theremainder of adult life.

The student will be taught how toapply modern request techniques uponmany of the coin operated dispensingmachines located all over the world,yet, keeping with the MIT policy ofengineering education, enough theorywill be included to give him a basisupon which he may counter blockingdevices and new types of machines.For undergiraduates who are to beeither on scholarship or loan, a 1-hourlaboratory will be held every week-(lay from one to two o'clock in theafternoon on the lower deck of Sec-tion 26. The daily experiments willprovide the students with low costlunches and cigarettes.

Students receiving A's in first termvending will be invited to take a sup-plementary training session in twistedhanger communications engineering.The laboratory for this will be runon an economical basis despite itslong range.

The Institute clihenmis-try staff, having been reported tohave been delivering lectuires and con-ducting classes in what seemed to bea most disorganized and fogg-y man-ner, was recently su}iject to a thor-ough investigation by the Sub-com-mittee on Professor Sobriety. A lo-cal order of the \Women's Temper-ance League, this committee canMe upwith what they had suspected forquite some time. The still, located in

A swooping backhanded shotthrough a sticky wicket gave Cor-poral University women a stunningvictory over MIT this afternoon inthe first annual National CroquetChampionships. Miss Shirley Hona-winkle led the ferocious attack as shebanged a mean red ball all over thecourse. Miss Ionawinkle using thecommonplace hand grip, unnerved thehome squad very early in the matchas she drove the ball through bothstarting wickets while whistling ex-erpts from Beethoven's Ninth.

However, this commanding lead wasshort lived as Tech's star lawn wreck-er, Cool Stanley Faversham, madefour consecutive wickets before failingon a difficult uphill corner approach.It is interesting to note that thecursor on Stanley's slide rule wasslightly off as he calculated this mostinteresting shot. Stanley however, washappy to report that Newton's thirdlaw of motion still holds.

Miss .Carol Redburgh, manning thegreen, managed to strike the bail ofTech's number five slugger, AntonFarquar, and the excitement began.Electing to "sail" her opponent's ball,Miss Redburgh, hit her foot and suf-fered five broken toes. The shot how-

Miss Faversham meanwhile co¢pleted the course in jolly good tir..and proceeded to eliminate all tballs of the defenseless Rodent nlrleteers. Maritime was lost and C¢poral won the remaining 2 matches.

Disgusted by the lack of vitalityexhibited by the present crew, coachJohn Freeloader has vowed to sellthe whole lot at the first authorizedslave market. The hapless oarsmenare currently followving the floatingInstitute on its way to Madagascar.

Master Freedollar is very con-cerned with the health of his chargesand has entrusted their feeding tofood director Harold Down. Down,having the interest of the boys atheart, has them on a strict diet of Wbeer and brick ice cream. Any grum-blings have been effectively handledby the iron, but fair discipline of Freepenny.

At dusk, after a strlenuous day ofwolrkouts, the weary boys are put tosleep on comfortable beds of nails."Toughens the skin," said F. Tan-karo, "nail captain". Captain Tan- karo sees to it that the fellows havea freshly sharpened set of nails daily. He is genuinely disturbed however by the niessy condition ofthe beds following the evening res-pite.

New Physics LabProgram for Frosh;StudyGameofPoker

Phlrsics professor J. Ungo Inward,in an effort >parltly to revive freshmaninterest in S.02 labs, but primnarily togain immense personal w\ealth forhimself, has announced a revolution-ary1 chanllge inl the freshman progranl.Frolm nloe\ on. the frosh will undergoan extensive practical study of prob-ability theory in combination wnith anintroduction to some of the more sub-tle aspects of poker, America's secondnmost popular indoor sport.

First, the students will learn suchfundlamentals as computing the oddsof drawing to an inside straight;then they will be introduced to soniceelementarny, but helpful, tricks likedealing- frolm the bottomI of the deck.palming an ace andl slipping a seconddeck of cards into the .anme. Laterin the lab prOg'ranl, Inwlard plans tobring in several psycliologists to pre-sent lectures on the theory of bluffing'and facial expressionls. Inwards hopesthat these humlanists will be able toteach his '"boys" hose to bleed cau-tious opponents for all they're w-orth.

TInwarld confessed that lie wvill makeeach student sig'n a contract givinghim a tenll percent cut of all future-winnitgs before lettiiig thenm take thelab prograim. Looking optimisticallyinto the futulre Inward predicted thattollmorrow's Course V\7III gradfuates willfar surpass those of Course XV as thetop money earners.

The admlilnistration ihas made noofficial comment regarding Inward'snew program, but Dean Pittance wascverhealdi to remark vistfuly that he-wished that hle had thought of it.

i!Nearly three million dollars -worth.~of gifts were given to M~IT last week.iThe largest part, $2,527,000, in stock,'was given by an alun-nus and his

],-vife, 1K.and Mlrs. Cecil H. Green'3of Dallas, Texas, for the creation

'' of a center for Earth Science. Mr.'Greert is vice-president of the Texas.Instrmients Inc., manufacturer ofi transistors and electronic systems of':defense.

~'The second gift, a new type of:l1aboratory equipment for electricalengoineers, was given by Westing-house Educational Foundation. Thedonation is part of a new nation-

:wvide program, whereby the Founda-tion, supported by the Corporation isgiving laboratory equipment valuedat over $500,000 to nearly 150 ac-

cr-edited colleges.hI_ announcing the Green gift, Dr.

Explaining the reasons for makingthe gift, Mr-. Green emphasized theexplosive force with which the im-portance of the earth sciences havebeen increasing. He said, "We con-sider MIT to be in an especially fa-vorable position to mnake effectivecontributions to our basic knowledgein these disciplines and to do so withmaximnum dispatch. The earth sci-ences are already a part of MIT'scurriculum and the Institute pos-sesses both the scholarship and theleadership essential for this job."

Mr. Green's close association withthe MIT dates from 1921. Born inManchester-, England, and brought upin Vancouver', he matriculated atMIT in 1921 and by June 1924 hadreceived both his bachelor's and mas-ter's degree in Electrical Engineer-ing. He was appointed a niember ofthe visiting committee for the De-partment of Geology and Geophys-ics in 1951, when he concurrently de-veloped wvith Dr. Robert Shrock headof that department a cooperativetraining pr-ogramn for exploration geo-physicists. For some time he has beena member of the nominating commit-tee of the MIT Alumni Associationand in June 1958, wNas elected a termmember of the MIT Corporation.

The Westinghouse gift is made upof equipmnent conceived by facultymembers in the MIT depart ntnt ofElectrical Engineer-ing, and revolu-tionizes the content and methods ofteaching it. The new approach usesa single generalized machine, makingit possible to teach students thebroad principles of electrical science,which underlie the wide range of de-vices and systemns of energy conver-sion, and control with a mninimium. oftime and equipment. Students--it isclaimed-can now readily explore un-conventional as well as conventionalrotating mnachine systems.

Folk dancing, songs, art, ball-roomdancing, and debates will be part ofthe show of culture fromi landsaround the world as MIT's third In-ternational Week gets underway Sun-day.

Briggs Field will be the scene ofthe opening activities when the MITsoccer- team meets a German-Aineri-can Professional teani froni Bostonin the afternoon. Officially openingInternational Weeks will be an ad-dress by Ar. Abdel Darim Mirghani,senior officer of the Perimanent Mis-sion of the Sudan in the UnitedNations w-ho will tallk on "The Posi-tion of the Smaller Nations in theUnited Nations Today," Sunday eve-ning.

This year's activities, which willextend through Sunday, April 19, are)eiilg organizedt by the Inter-natio nalPrograna m Committee of the Under-graduate Association. IPC, whosechairim-an is Jaime de Sola '60, ismade up of the chairmen of all of theUnder-graduate National Clubs atMIT.

President Stratton has given Inter-national Week the following endor-se-ment: "MIT has froni its beginningwvelcomed students and scholars froomall over- the wvorld. Increasingly in thelast two decades, the Institute hasbeen able to contribute to the grow-ing formation of a world cmn-munity,particularly in the fields of science,pure and applied. The ideal of MITwill continue to be to retain its es-sentially American character, and atthe same time to participate eveirmor-e fully in the world of ideas thatknows no national boundaries.

"I understand that InternationalWeek this year is stressing particu-larlyv participatio n ty' our1 owVn for-eign students. Chairman de Sola has

written me, 'This week is given bythe foreign students at MIT to theAmericans at MIT in aplpreciationfor the niany things they did for usduriing out' stay in their country.'On behalf of the whole family of theInstitute, I wish to thank through Mr.de Sola all of these participants andto wish great success to MIT's Inter-national Week of 1959."

The keynote speaker for the week,Mr. Miirghani,i was choseni by theUnited Nations to attend the ModelUN meeting held in Indiana recentlywhich was one of thiree such meet-hogs, the other two being held in Cali-fornia and in Monr'eal.

The soccer tam-e will begin at '-Ip.m. on Sunday wNith Mr. RichardBalch, Director of Athletics perfor-m-ing: the kickoff ceremonies. Mr. MLqir-zghanii -%ill speak at 8 p.m. in Kresge,

"The War Against Alan" was thesubject of a. talk given by NormanCousinls, edlitorj of the "Saturd(1ay R7e-view", before a very smlall aludincein Kres-'e Auditorwium on Wedinesdayeventrotg.

All'. Cousinis beIzaiin his talk by re-viewving the Berlin Situation as itstands nowv. After goinig over the rea-sons for-the Soviet concerPn aboutBerlin and Germnuiy, he examineld thepositions of the United States and ofthe Soviet Union. The United States,Ml'. Cousins said, has a1nnounc0 ed itswvillingness to -o to nuclear War tokJoele Berlin. We have also managedto convHinc e our1selves that NikitaKhruschev is too r-easonable to pushus that far. It was also pointed outthoughi, that Mr. Khruschev has saidexactly the same things, so that bothsides are wvaiting for the other toback downi. This is ohviously a dai-gerlous situation.

The Berlin situation was an intro-duction to a larger and more impor-tanlt tolpic--"What Imeanls are Iwe us-inlg to pr-eserve our civilizattion?" Itis obvious lhat violenc e can no longlerbe used as aln inistrumwient of foreig:npolicy: }~oth t he U. S. ind theU'.S.S.I. agree that n1o onle can l winthe nText war.

"Amierican people," Mr. Cousinssaid, "hav-eiin't an adequate sense ofthe frag:ility of civilization. \'We musthave tln alternatitve to violence,."-ow theen are -we to g-o about pre-servingi our civilization based on theidea of sovereig:nty of the individual?To do this, wve have to "conivert factsinto logic" and develop a iieaning-ful plan; a "Great Idea" -which wecan present to the wor-ld.

The big stumbling block prevent-

ing out' civilizatioll floml attaining itsg:oals is natiomlal sovereigfnty. IMr'.Cousins pwointed out that nationlal sov-ereign-lty has heenl obsolete since theIndlustt'ial IRevolution. It is "a r-elic

of the 1)ark A-es." He said thatthere is no one of authoi-ity ini thewvorld who is workin,.- full limCe for1l1eace. The President of the UnitedStates cannlot -worl for lmeace, he istoo thusy with politics and inlitern1al

affairs. Not eveni the Secl'etary-Gen-

erial of the Uiiitcd Nations cani wvorkqfor. })cate.

The United Nations hasn't been ac-tive in the Berliii clisis! The troul,ie,with the United Nations is that itcannlot prevenit allythinig from hap)-p)enoiig, it onfly "runIII s after history

with a mop." If these p~eo]ple camnnotwvork for peace, theii it is ut) to eachindliividual to dedicate him1sellf to thisjo}h. He must develop this "Great/dca" nitl wJork £or "Sanity i'l our·time."

AlMr. Cousins coli'rged oil his pro-posal of a "Great Ildea", but first hehad a warning; this Idea maust be forall the -world, iiot just for the \West-erw, white half. "We .laeust not Ie

collceilnce nd w\\ith our ,petty 1wlel'SOlal

To advance our Idea of the dig-nityof the inldividual, we must work tosee to it that our goverlimen£ makesdefinite, attainabl e g4oals p)art of ourforeigln p~olicy, anld 'preseint them in

irIkeeps acting on the same level of quality and would wehave this sort of contest around Boston, there is no doubtshe would win the "Consistently Best Actress" award ofthis whole season. She has an enormous talent and deserves

a better chance at the "Playhouse" that the roles she hasbeen getting: why not give her the lead? Edward Finnegansteals the scenes everytime he gets up and acts; he is thecomic relief, not only because the play needs one, butbecause he is experienced, sure of himself, and knows wvhathe is doing. We do not laugh at him but u./th him, and thismakes the whole difference. Edward Zang moved swiftlyand personified the character with accuracy and good meas-ure, impressing us as a sensitive actor, feeling his part andliving it, rather than playing it. As for Stanley Young, hesuited his part perfectly: it is not easy for somebody to bea "villain", but Stanley Young does a perfect job untilthe end. The direction is lively, fast, precise, and flawless.

A very good blocking job, a sense of equilibrium andesthetics is entirely to the credit of Michael Murray, whoseems to have hit it this time. His energy has been trans-mitted to the actors, his feeling of balance has carriedthrough the difficult job of matching the violent and op-

posite temperaments of the characters involved, blendingwith good taste, misery and happiness, love and hate,

tragedy and comedy.

The sets and the costumes are simple as life was in

New England during this period, but they are real, natural,and well designed respectively by Robert Skinner and EstherSmall.

Congratulations to the "Charles Playhouse" for a showthat everybody should see, applaud and admire as the bestin the last months.

From the Manchester Guardian Weekly, June 20, 1957.A strikitg lessonz in keeping the zipper Ifp stiff is givenz

i, a recent iznimber of The Weekly Billelin of the Fedecra-tio J of Civil E12gileering CoztractorsJ, a'hich prtts thefollowinzg letter from a bricklayer inZ Barbados to the fimnzfor 1uhich he zworked:Respected Sir:

When I got to the Building, I found that the hurricanehad knocked some bricks off the top. So I rigged a beamwith a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a

couple of barrels full of bricks. When I had fixed thebuilding, there was a lot of bricks left over. I hoisted thebarrel back up again and secured the line at the bottomand cast off the line. Unfortunately, the barrel of brickswas heavier than I was, and before I knew what was hap-pening, the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground.I decided to hang on and halfway up I amet the barrel com-ins down and received a severe blow on the shoulder. Ithen continues to the top banging my head against thebeam and getting my fingers jammed in the pulley. Whenthe barrel hit the ground it bursted its bottomrn, allowingall the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than thebarrel and so started down at high speed again. Halfwaydown, I met the barrel coming up and received severe in-juries to my shins. When I hit the ground I landed onthe bricks, getting several painful cuts from the sharpedges.

At this point, I must have lost my presence of mind,because I let go of the line. The barrel then came downgiving me another heavy blow on the head and putting mein the hospital. I respectfully request sick leave.

The following hand was played at ficticious rubber bridgegame in East Campus. South felt justified in jumping totwo spades over his partner's take out double (after all,he had a void, and a nice six card suit.) West bid hisown six card suit again, but North knew there -,as gamein spades. East was unwilling to sell out, though, andsacrificed at five hearts.

South now felt that his hand was better than before

and too good to let the opponents play the hand at hearts,and so he jumped to six spades. The fallacies in whatmight have been South's reasoning will not be discussedhere. West jumped up and down and stood on his head,having the contract set in his own hand. "DOUBLE!!"said he when he had regained his composure.

The sight of the dummy shook West up considerablyand he watched and miserably follonwed suit as Southruffed four hearts in the dummy and four clubs in hishand, West having to discard his diamonds on the lasttwo clubs since he was unable to even overtrump South.This left this position.

The CrucibhlePowerful, strong, revolting, exciting, full of suspense

and violent emotion, "The Crucible", currently presentedby the "Charles Playhouse", is the best show we have seenthem putting on as well as one of the best of this season.Dealing with witchcraft, religious persecution in the 1690)'s,love and brutality, belief and superstition, Arthur Miller'splay is more than the portrayal of New EngIand's life atthe end of the 17th. century, is more than a simple historicalfact told in a beautiful theatrical fashion: it is the ever-]asting fight between men with faith in God and men withfaith in the church, men who trust themselves and menwho trust gold candlesticks and Sunday prayers.

The tale is horrifying and it would be a crime to tell it,-depriving future spectators from the suspense it builds andthe ideas it carries. It is a play with a message, and a mes-sage far more reaching than the laughter and hisses ofsome young boyrs in the audience who seem to be bittenby a little bug everytime the words "Massachusetts","Boston" or "Harvard" are mentioned in this or any otherplay. The errors of the Inquisition, the errors of the Frenchrevolution, the same errors which condemn and isolate re-]igion nonwada)ys are shown here Mwith contempt, horror,injustice, and bitterness. The separation between God andthe priests who made His name the motto of their club

:strikes and shreds the spectator, not in the manner of so-

,phisticated college boys playing the game of their century,Abut in the admirable craftsnmanship and skill of playwright

Miller, who gives us a good measure of his talent in elab-orating dialogues, building tension, dealing with the-atrical tricks well hidden under the most perfect, naturalscenario.

But the "Charles Playhouse" presentation is complete:not only have they chosen a good play, but they have comeout of a deep hole to give us splendid performances, solid,snappy direction and simple but impressive sets.

The acting is almost uniformly good with a few excep-tions we will not mention to avoid shadowing what is cer-tainly the best this group has given us. Particularly im-pressive, however, were the performances by Ruth BoltonBrand (Abigail Williams), Mary Weed (Mary Warren),Edward Finnegan (Giles Corey), Edward Zang (JohnHale) and Stanley Young (Danforth). Ruth is an oldfriend of ours from the days of Dramashop, and her actingis worth seeing, being probably the best female performanceof this season, matched only so far by Mary Weed as MinniePowell in "Shadow of a Gunman".

"Oh happy day"' thought South as he visualized him-self taking the rest of the tricks with the K, 10 of spades,the A, K of diamonds, and the K of clubs for an over-trick. But a bad trump split gave West three tricks tohis surprise and delight, and the contract was down two."Sorry partner, bad break." was South's only comment.But North shot him anyway. The funeral is next week.

JAMES B. CAREY f

"'The McClellan Comnmiftee - Threat orHelp fo the Labor Movement"

considered it bad judgment indeed topluck a pansy on a pleasant day forthey were certain rain was sure tofollow.

The familiar daffodil was celebrat-ed as merely the delightful harbingerof Spring by Shakespeare ("Thedaffodil . . . comes before the swal-low dares"), but the folklore ofWales reveres the flower as a symbolof wealth and have adopted it astheir national emblem. Legends in-sist that the discoverer of the firstdaffodil of Spring will gain moregold than he has ever seen before.

The daffodil isn't even a daffodilto the sturdy citizens of the Isle ofMan, who know the golden-trumrptedflowers as "Goose Leaks". Manxmenregard the bloom with misgivingsand consider it unlucky indeed tobring one indoors before the goslingsare safely hatched.

Hundreds of years before it be-came possible to wire flowers to vir-tually allywhere in the world, theflowers that bloom in the springwxcere the subject of many supersti-tious beliefs. Flowers meant manythings to many people and the sig-nificance of a particular flower oftenchanged radically in different areas.

The daisy, for exalmiple, was be-lieved by Cenltr al Europeans to curetoothaches. The English, on the otherhand, used their daisies to treatheadaches, gout and even rheuma-tism. The self-same daisy was also asymbol of luck and trust. In someareas, if you were fortunate enoughto tread on the first daisy of the sea-son, you were sure to be nmarriedwithin a year'.

The name "daisy" has religioussignificance. It comes from "days-eye" and the flower is supposed tohave sprung from the tears of MarykJagdalene.

The rose which speaks of Iove isundoubtedly the most popular flowersin the world. While the rose repre-sents love in the language of flowersand is a religious symbol for the Vir-gin Mary, it commemorates a longand bloody wvar to Englishmen. Thewhite and red roses represent thewarring Houses .of York and Lan -caster, symbolizing a time of greatconflict in English history.

The Romans, sniffing the same rose,

decided it had great medicinal valueand Pliny, the historian, lists 32 dif-ferent potions that were made fronroses. Belief in the health-givingbenefits of the flowerl welre so great,that Romans actually ate roses as asalad ingredient and exen candiedthem so that they could be preservedin jars.

Forget-me-nots -, elre once believedto have supernatural powers. AncientCelts considered these blooms a sureculre for bites of serpents and maddogs. Hundreds of years later, Celticdescendents used forget-me-nots inpoultices for sore eyes. Medievalknights believed that steel telm-peredin the juice of this fragile flower,would be strong enough to cut stone.

In addition to the meanings of in-dividual flowers, there is a languageof flower arrangement. It's a form of"sign language" that according tomany florists, has a tradition of itsown.

Just as roses in a bouquet standfor love, leaves in an arrangementrepresent hope and the promise offulfillment. A flower sloped to theleft says "I" or "me" and a slopingto the right means, "thou" or "thee."Even specific leaves have come tohave their own meaning. A laurelleaf twisted 'round a bouquet says,"I am" and a folded ivy leaf indi-

must strengthen the United Nations,with eventual federation in mind.

The time periods were suggestedby Mr. Cousins. While it isn't nec-essary that those specific ones beadopted, the time periods must bedefinite. This is the only way thatwe will be able to get the other peo-ple of the world to work with us.There is no reason to believe that theRussians will go along with ourIdea, but if it becomes popularenough they will join us for theirown self-protection, just as they join-ed the United Nations.

The main point of Ml. Cousins'talk was that each individual mustdedicate himself to the task of worldpeace, and work to spread the "GreatIdea" of the sacredness of the indi-vidual.

by Sam Balk which his hoa

I Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to the program clthe United States and chief Israeli edhim.delegate to the United Nations, spoke Engleberg ciThursday afternoon, Mach 26, in ny accomplis

iddle East." His talk was given mosphere of 1fnder the auspices of the MIT Lec- genial to him, h

ture Series Committee. on the facultyAmbassador Eban began his talk velrsity in Eng]

i a jovial vein by declining "as a Two great foracious guest must," any disagree- cording to A

nlent with the words of praise with molding the wo

other nations are now freely avail-able to her for her defense, alleviat-ing the shortage of wvar materialsthat once periled her and so aug-menting her security even more.

Mr. Eban said that if, in 1949, sixhundred and fifty thousand poorlyareemd and fed Israelis could defeatthe combined might of the Arabworld, how much more potent is theIsrael of today against any threat ofagglression.

The scientific revolution has donemuch to reduce the handicap of Is-rael's limited size and shortage of re-soulrces. The great source of powerto be found in the atom and theavailability of synthetics and similarmeans is making Israel self-sufficientand giving her the opportunities fordevelopment which are so necessaryfolr a young country.

Israel stands out a s one examplefor the many new nations rising inthe world today, so they look for in-struction and inspiration. These newcountries are repulsed by Russia'stotalitarianism and have not the re-soulrces to emulate the United States,and is thus qutie fortunate that theycan learn from Israel how fruitfuldevelopment can be accomplishedwith modest means. Israel is now en-gaging in a very active technical andmedical exchange with these eme-rg-

ing nations ill all palrts of the w-oldlls.

As for r'elations with her neigh-bors and the settlement of the prob-lems therein, Ambassador Eban saidthat Israel is- alvays more than will-ing to talke part in talks with theArab nations, and very anxious tolay their differences aside and worktogether to produce a hearty and vi-tal Middle East.

The Ambassador belies, however,that the settlement will inevitablybe a gradual one, and will not comethrough some single inspired strokeof diplomatic genius.

He said that if the 1)roblem is tobe solved, the Arab world must havethe will for its solution, and ceaseinsistance on its calines for Israel'sterritory. The Arab nations must, andinevitably will have to, in Eban'sopinion, recognize Israel's legitimateclaim to her land and her stature asa nation.

Ambassador Eban closed his talkwith an affilamtion that the Israelipeople and the nation Israel will al-ways militantly strive for and dotheir best to be a citadel of the de-mocracy and humanitarianismz whichare so necessary to the troubledworld of today. The Ambassador wenton to answer questions from the au-dience.

Unmatched Engineering Facilities for Devel-oping Advanced Flight Propulsion Systems

Operations at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft are essen-tially those of an -engineering and developmentorganization. As such, an engineering atmospheredominates the work being done, much of whichdirectly involves laboratory experimentation.

In the past three decades, expansion at Prati& Whitney Aircraft has been almost tenfold. Inrecent years, greatest emphasis has been on extend-ing engineering facilities to meet the needs of ad-vanced research and development programs in flightpropulsion.

Among the Connecticut P & W A facilities aremany that are unequaled in the industry. Thiustoday, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft is better preparedthan ever to continue development of the world'sbest aircraft powerplants . . . to probe the propulsionfuture ... to build and test greatly advanced pro-pulsion systems for coming generations of flight vehi-cles - in whatever form they take.

While MIT students were enjoyingthe freedom of spring vacation, thevalsity laclosse team enjoyed a high-ly successful trip, outscoring a per-ennially strong Al my plebe team13-5 on Malch 30 in a scrimmageand drubbing Adelphi 12-2 in the l'eg-

ular season opener on April 1, atGal-den City, N. Y.

The Adelphi contest saw the En-gineers' midfield spearhead the vic-tor1y as their outstanding play en-a'Hed Tech to conti ol the ball forover 80% of the gamie. The victors'fil-st midfield of Chuck Fitzgerald '59,Jim Russell '59, and Alan B1ren-necke '61 welre blilliant as were thesecond midfield of Joe Skendar ian'61, Nat Florian '60, and Dan Mi-chael '60.

Conierford Scores FoarAttackman John Conie~ford '59

was top goal gettel for the Techmen-ith four, while Fitzgerald tallied

three and Paul Elkbelg '59 two.

Because MIT dominated the playso much, very little pressure wasput on their defense or goalie. PhilFrink '60 and Dix Browder '59 shay-ed the netminding duties equally forthe Beavers and had to stop onlyeight or nine shots.

A scheduled scrimmage at Stevensthe following day was rained out, butthe trip did point out conclusivelythat MIT will be a strong contenderfol the division crown, of which they-velre co-holder s last spl ing. Accord-ing to Coach Ben Malitin, the onlyquestion remaining is the inside de-fense which fas untested during thetrip. The coach also stated that thisis "potentially the best MIT teamever"

The MIT varsity baseball teanlopened their 1959 campaign with anarrow 2-1 victory ovelr Rutgers inan exciting contest. The Beavelr ninelost both of their other two springtrip games to Catholic Universityand Johns Hopkins University by thescores of 4-2 and 6-1, respectively.

Techmen Win in NinthAgainst Rutgers the Techmen pick-

ed up their first marker in the topof the fifth inning when left fielderJack Pogarian '59 opened with a sin-gle, advanced to second on a sacri-fice by center fielder Joe Schutzmzan'61, and romped home on the strengthof a booming double by third base-man Elliot Fineman '59. In the bot-tom half of the same inning, Rut-gers fought back to even the scoreat one-all. Neither team was able topush a run across the plate until theninth inning when catcher WarrenGoodnow '59 singled, moved to secondon a sacrifice by Pogarian, dashed tothird as Schutzman grounded out,and then made it honme while theRutgers catcher pegged to second ina fruitless effort to nab Fineman,who was attempting to steal secondafter receiving a base on balls.

Blinn Pitches VictoryJohn Blinn '61 was the winning

pitcher for Tech as he hurled eightflrames befolre being relieved by Good-now in the ninth. Blinn fanned eightand passed seven; Goodnow struckout one and walked one. Fineman wasthe heavy belter for the Cardinal andGray as he drove in one run and col-lected three hits in three trips to theplate.

Oeler Goes Nine InningsDick Oeler '59 went the full dis,

tance on the mound for the Engineersagainst Catholic University and hesneaked the third strike past six bat-ters Awhile allowing two free tripsto first. Although three of their gametotal of four hits came in the first

inning, the Beaver diamond menfailed to draw first blood. They pick-ed up their two runs in the fifthstanza with the help of three baseson balls by the opposing pitcher.Catholic University tallied twice inthe foulrth and twice in the sixthfl rame.

The game against Johns Hopkillswas loosely played as the Cardinaland Gray were charged with threeerrolrs and Hopkins four. Blinn struckout six and passed two in this game,and once again was relieved by Good-now in the latter stages of the contest,this time in the seventh inning.Goodnow whiffed two and gave upone pass. Neil Fitzpatrick '60, firstbaseman, led Tech batters with-twohits in three at bats.

The varsity baseball squad is nowpracticing hard in preparation forthe clash with Harvard Saturdayafternoon at Soldier's Field.

In their first competition of thespring, the varsity sailing team camein third in the races for the McMil-lan Cup held last Saturday and Sun-day afternoons sponsored by the U.S.Naval Academy om the windsweptwaters of Chesapeake Bay. Princetoncaptured first position and the trophyby a one point margin over Dart-niouth and MIT who tied for sec-ond. The Indians were able to breakthe deadlock in their favor, puttingthe Engineers third.

The races were conducted in 44-foot yawls that required a skipperand seven crewmen. At the helm forthe Beavers was Bill Widnall '59and assisting him was Dennis Posey'59. Heading the foredeck crew wasPhil Beach '59. Filling out the re-mainder of the jobs on board the
