Dr. Oppenheimer Is recognizedas one of the world's'most distin-guished physicists, and before hebecame director of -the project,which led to Ithe development ofthe atomic bomb, he was widelyknown for his ' quantum theory,fundamental particles, cosmic raysand nuclear problems.

His work on the Manhattan pro]-ect caused him to be described bythe War Department as "a leadingteacher' and a man of boundlessenergy and rare common sense,"while former Secretary of WarStimson cited Dr. Oppenheimer's"genius and leadership" in view ofhis important contribution to thewar effort.

Although Dr. Oppenheimer be-lieves that "a scientist cannot holdback progress because of fears ofwhat the world will do with hisdiscoveries," he has indicated hisconcern with what the world doesdo. He was a member of the Lilen-thal board and Is chairman to theAtomic -nera immlssion.

Packed CrowdHears R FrostTalk on Poetry

Famed N. E. WriterDeclares PositionOn Science and Art

l mpressive is the only word todescribe the lecture by Dr. RobertFrost last Wednesday in Hunting-ton Hall. Over seven hundred stu-dent, faculty members and secre-taries fLied Huntingtoln Hall be-yond capacity to hear the notedpoet.

President Karl T. Compton intro-duced Dr. Frost who then took overto give a short -tal on the com-parative attitudes of science andthe humanities. He -showed imme-diately the sense of dry humor tatwas evident -throughout the lecture.speaking of his seat in humanitiesat Dartmouth ollege he defendedhis visit here by claiminmg scienceas one of the minor humanities.

Stresses Field of PoetryDr. -rost stressed immediately

the fact that poetry is not writtenfor any group to appreciate but be-longs to everyone. Poetry has beendescribed variously as rhythmic,exact, intense insight and meta-phor.

Pointing out that in many re-spects these same words may beused to describe science, he ex-plained his tolerance of science.Countering the statement that thesciences were taking over in everynew field he explained -the atombomb with a simile about fuel.Wood deteriorates in time but maybe made to deteriorate rapidly byburning it. Yemilarly uranium de-cays over a long period but sud-denly some one found out how tospeed up the process.

Going on fromn there he ex~plainedhow science has a toehold on theuniverse but to do more than existthe intangible forms of expressionwere necessary. As a sense ofhumor is necessary so an inner poe-try, if not an outer expression of it,is obligatory for a person to reallylive.

Baker ForecastsBetter LivingConditionsSoon

Walker Student StafHears Dean SpeakOn New ImprovementsSeveral phases in the long range

program to improve living condi-tions at the Institute were broughtout last Tuesday by Dean Baker inhis address to the student staff ofWalker Memorial, He also compli-mented the staff on their sririt andcontribution to better living here.

One of the first projects to becompleted, according to DeanBaker, will be the new cage for in-door sports directly behind theArmory on Massachusetts Avenue.Ground was broken for constc-tion less than a week ago. Thebunding is scheduled for comple-tion by March 1. The constructionwill include glass walls and a rowof pillars running across the build-ing. The pillars will support atemporary timbered roof. Struc-tural steel Will replace the timberlater. Some $400,000 and manymonths in time will be saved byusing this construction.

Construction on the new librarywill begin next Spring, but itseventual completion date is en-tirely dependent on building conditions in the next few years. Thereis, however, a chance of completionwithin the next two years, saidDean Baker.

By far the longest range .plm, tostart no sooner than five ebarshence, is the demolition of West-gate and Westgate West to makeroom for more dormitories, playingfield, etc. A quadrangle may beeffected, using a combination dnew dorms and fratemnity houses.A large dining hall with cafeteria,private dining rooms, and recrea-tion facilities is not improbable.

~Magoun DeliversFirst Lecture OnM~arriage Advice

Discusses Nature ofLove and Romance;Next Talk onl Tuesday

Speaking before several hundredpeople in Room 10o-25D, last Tues-day, Professor F. Alexander M~agounof the humanities department pre-sented the flret of his series of lec-tures, "In Prepariation for Ma-riage."1

Professor Maoun told his audi-ence that "there are usually -threeim portant events in a person's life:birth, marriage and death."' Wehave c ontrol only over the second..So far "6the people of our countryhave not been doing -a good job onmarri-age.1 One out of three endsin failure.

After his introduction, ProfessorMagoun went on to discuss -the "'na-ture of love." H~e said, "the faminlyis where there is love. Deep in thehearts of each one of -us is theyearning -to lovre or be loved."

When one partner of a marriedcouple tries to change the person-ality of his mate, he is not express-ing true love. "The self righteousfather who compels his son to at-tend a certain college'; because BEwent there, is not expressing lovetowards his son. If a boy knowswhat he feels, and what he wants,he is to be praised.

A successful marriage will onlycome -about if both members areemotionally mature, and slight de-viations will not affect the mar-riage. JPerhaps It is so -that unlessa person learns that love is at anearly -age, he will never know itstrue meaning. "Maybe we mustlearn as children. Experience ofloving will teach you better ways tolove."'

In conclulsion the professor statedthat there was '"no substitute forlove or marriage. We all seek tolove or be loved, otherwise wve willseek other things." The professorwarned that love won't solve all oflife's problems 'qzve is somethingwhich will produce intellectual 8soi,and emotional climate."

Tech Students ToGet XImas Seals

Cambridge AssociationWill Mail Seals Monday

Beginning Monday, November 24,the Cambridge Tuberculosis andHealth Association will mail Christ-mas Seals to all the Technology stu-dents residing in Cambridge. About1500 students will receive Ithe seals,which sell at one dollar for one hun-dred seals.

During the spring of 1948 the As-sociation hopes to give free chestx-rays to 80,000 people who work orlive in Cambridge. M.IT. studentshave come in contact with the As-sociation before, when the Ascia-tion and the Massachusetts Depart-ment of Public Health conductedthe chest x-ray campaign at the In.stitute last spring.

The association also supports afree x-ray clinic every Wednesdayafternoon and Friday evening atthe Clambridgg City Hall Annex.The Cambridge Association is oneof the oldest of the local organiza-tions.-

The purpose of having everyonex-rayed is to discover any tubercu-lar people who are not aware oftheir condition. Treatment of thesecases eliminates them as carriers ofthee disease to others, besides the ob-vious benefit of curing the caseitself.

Publicity for the 5:15 Club's -annualThanksgiving Dance reached a newhigh when this Indian braved thecorridors of Building 10, molestingstudents and secretaries.

By SANDER RUBINLast Tesday we left our Techman

with the buggered telephone aboutto be descended upon by a repre-sentative of the telephone company.When the phone man arrived atthe Barracks the subscriber wasout, but he quickly located the tele-phone in question with the inten-tion of removing the extraneousequipment before the Techman'sreturn.

However, under the desk on whichthe phone was placed he foundsuch a maze of connections that hedeclared to sympathetic bystand-ers, "I can't figure out -this mess; I'llhave to wait until the buddingengineer gets back." The tele-phone company takes the long viewon such shenanigans. As long asthe subscriber pays his bills they'llusually let him keep his instrument,but they'll continue to remove anygadgets he attaches.

Who Needs a Nickel?

Methods for making pay stationcalls without sacrificing a nickel tothe cause receive special attention.The most elementary procedure isto place a penny in the nlickel slot,holding it against the side of theslot with a key. By giving the keythe proper twist, the penny is pro-jected into the slot in such a fash-ion that it closes the contacts in-tended only for a five cent piece.

The story is told about one Tech-man who was out on a double datewhen one of the party had to makea phone call, but although fve dol-lar bills were abundant, no one hada nickel. The Techman came tothe rescue with his penny flippingskill. His date exclaimed, "S that'show you do it!" She then ex-plained that her father was a bigwheel in the phone company andhe had been bothered for sometime by the penny problem.

Leading Engineers;Meet Ends SeasonOn Monday, November 17, at Van

Cortland Park in New York theTech cross-country team broughtto an ending the 1947 season. TheBeaver runners placed as a teamin thirteenth place of 26 teams inthe IC 4-A championships. Thismust be considered a great im-provement over the teams showingin the New England championshipslast week, as Tech now -placedahead of Maine and New Hamp-shire.

Manhattan College won the titlethis year scoring 86 points, whileSyracuse was second with 107 mark-ers. Of the New England Colleges,Rhode Island placed 6, Yale 10,MIT 13, Dartmouth 14, Maine 15,New Hampshire- 18, and Connecti-cut 23.

Henze, Noss Lead TechHank Henze once again proved

to be the best runnier for the C~ar-dinal and Grey team, as he placedin 48th position of the 182 runnersfinishing. Oscar Noss ran splen-didly and finished 62nd. FrancisJablonskii came in at the 89th place,and the sophomore contingence ofPaul Lobo, 96th, Gordon Hunt, 98th,Vinson Simpson, 112th, and SamRolland, 127th, finished the orderof the Beaver runners.

Coach Hedlund was very pleasedwith the performances of the Techrunners -as they placed higher thanwas expected. The absence of Cap-tain Knapp hurt the team's chancesfor a higher rating in the finalstandings. This is the second yearin a row that the Beavers haveplaced in the upper half of theteam scoring by one position.

Friday, November 21, 1947P.qP- Tlhrap

By FRAKI HEILENDAY

In the last week, the Institutewas surprised by a set of handdrawn posters announcing thebirth of a football game betweenthe classes-'48 vs. '49, '50 and '51.

All this sudden burst of spirit infootball at Tech was brough7, aboutby the birth of an idea for footballat Tech in the minds of Bill Osgoodand Dennis Allegretti, both of thesenior class. Allegretti had beencoach of the sophomore team atField Day and knew that in BriggsField House over 60 complete uni-forms were available for bringinginlterclass football to Tech.

With this idea and energy to cutthe red tape ahead, Dean Bakerwas approached, as was AthleticDirector Geiger, A. A. PresidentRodgers, and Paul MeNaughton,manager of the Techsapoppinweekend. Despite the fact that-theposters, hand drawn at that, wereonly put on Wednesday morning,the rally at 5:00 p. m. on the sameday saw over 45 men ready to beginfootball practice.

By Monday more than 85 menhad signed up for practice and allthat was needed was a coach foreach team. Allegretti was to playfor the seniors and Jim Phillips,who coached the frosh team thisField Day, was unable -to devoteevery afternoon to the job, andwith no coaches available the wholeidea of a classwide football teamwas dropped as suddenly as it wasstarted.

A turnout of 45 men in less than8 hours' notice and the signing of85 men to the prospective teamscertainly show that Techmen wantto see football at Tech, and evenmore important, Techmen do wantto try out for the team.

On Wednesday afternoon, No-vember 19, at Briggs Field ,the Car-dinal and Grey Soccer Team wentdown in defeat to -the Brown ele-ven, 4-1.

Brown took a 2-0 lead in the firsthalf as their offense hit for thejackpot from about fifteen yards.The Bruins added one more goalin third quarter as Tech substi-tuted freely. With the Beaverteam completely revamped in thelast quarter, Harry Falcao took apass from "fMoose" Marlio and shotthe ball past the goalie in the leftcorner of the goal. But that fln-ished -the Tech scoring, with Brownadding one more safety to clinchthe victory.

Tomorrow the Beavers travel toSpringfield to oppose the Spring-field college team, rated as one ofthe most powerful in the East.Tech will go into the game as theunderdog, but the players are look-ing for an upset of the mightyGymnasts in the season's finalgame.

Reading and listening to poetrywas likened by Dr. Frost -to goingto a play in which the poem couldbe played and given different formsof expression.

ieads Poems

Dr. Frost went on to read severalof his poems. Starting with a son-net on "Sarcastic Science" to putthe group at ease he read and re-cited from memory both humorousand serious poems. Many of thesepoems were familiar, as "The Code"and "Mending Walls." Others werefrom his more recent works. Fin-ishing up with two poems on"Rugged Individualism," Dr. Frostclosed the meeting.

The reception of Dr. Frost as thefirst guest lecturer in humanitieswas enthusiasticall1y received. Theturnout was a tribute not only toDr. Frost but to the interest of theTechnology students. In the earlystages of his lecture there weremany self-conscious titters thatran through the group as he spokeof the relation between the humani-ties and science.
