CAMBRIDGE, MASS., TUESDAY, MIARCH 17, 1942 PRICE FIVE CENTS

"It's time we learned," our mostpotential source of democratic soli-darity lies in a great land lying toour south, though we know too littleof our fellow Americans in theSouthern Hemisphere.

So "It's Time We Learned" isGeorge Bemberg's thespian contri-bution to a substantial basis forunderstanding Latin Americans . . .to understand their activities, theirway of thinking, their very spirit.It comes from a man who knows,and the play is as timely as today'swar news. It is a dramatic triumphin the sense that it successfully de-bunks the motion-picture illusion ofSouth America as a land of palmtrees, rumbas, and Carmen Miranda.

American solidarity was but amyth. They may learn that thecommon Yankee abuse of a fineLatin culture had cost the NorthAmericans the very security whichis being paid, for today in blood, isthe sentiment expressed in the play.

It is even more significant thatthe Dramashop is staging the pro-duction. Whether or not it is muchof a dramatic triumph for Technol-ogy's thespian organization as it isfor Bemberg depends upon Drama-shop's ability to match the impor-tance of the play. One reason isthat Dramashop has come a longway from a socially encumbered or-ganization to a place where it hasdefinitely settled down to the pro-duction of drama.

And there is no better way tolearn that "it's time we learned"than by witnessing a dramatic ac-count of the bland way Americansbrush over the finer principles oflife, against the keener appreciationof justice and profit of the LatinAmericans. Bemberg teaches us ina straightforward manner exactlythe understanding we must ac-quire; he teaches us that we cannottake for granted the bond of oursouthern neighbors.

More specifically, "It's Time WeLearned" hits home because it isabout two American college boyswho visit a family in South Amer-ica, and the comparison of customsand habits of thought shows thatthe Latin Americans are a sensitive,romantic people.

These two American college boysrepresent the leaders of the nextgeneration. When they become theleaders, they may learn that therecent indications of closer Pan-

fraternity Conference dance, sched-i!ied for the evening of March 27at the Imperial Ball Room of thei-Totel Statler, will include a balloonbombardment of literally hundredsof balloons, by means of which $50u-ill be given to the dancers, a groupof wandering minstrels to sing atodd times and places, and a cari-caturist, Pol Van Geel, who has al-ready gained considerable reputa-tion among many of the fraternitymembers. All this will be in addi-tion to the "Battle of Music", star-ring Sam Donahue and Harry:.Iarshard and their bands.

Continuous Music Planned

The bands will play steadily, al-ternating at 30 minute intervals in-stead of playing ten minutes andresting five as is the practice whenonly one band plays. By means ofthis system, crowding on the dancefIoor will be abolished and dancers

Iwill be free to dance at will, it waspointed out by Warren E. Foster,143, chairman of the dance commit-tee. The ticket holders are assuredthe best music of which the bandsare capable as the bands will bevieing for top honors.

The dance will be open to all, andnlot restricted, as hitherto, to fra-ternity members.

Forum To DiscussPost War Problems

"Collective Security" and itsmany ramifications will be the sub-j ect of the second of a series ofPost-War Reconstruction Forums tobe held Wednesday, March 18, inLitchfield Lounge at 5:00 P.M.under the aegis of Professor Theo-dore Smith, of the department ofEnglish and History, assisted byMr. Duncan S. Ballantine, of thesame department. The whole series

jis under the joint sponsorship ofJ the T.C.A. and the Debating

Society.

The open discussions, after somepreliminary remarks have beenmade, are the bases for all analysisof the problems to be faced. Withrepresentatives from the variouscountries involved acting as na-tional agents and other studentsrepresenting vested interests, thetrue international attitude isattained.

The whole discussion is baseduipon the basic assumption thatthe war will be won, and the forcesof the allies conquer, although thew ar may at this time seem far-fom being won. All students areinvited to attend these openforums held every Wednesday at5:00 P.M.

Itwould not be necessary to pose asan expert on international affairsto do this.

Dramatis Personae

The plays presented every Satur-day by the E 22 drama optionclasses are always good for a laugh,even if they were meant to betragedies. Take last Saturday'sproduction, for instance. It seemsthat one professor in the Englishdepartment has been promisinghimself for years that some dayhe would present that classicalGreek tragedy, "Electra." The maindrawback has always been lack ofwomen students-a lack which isstrongly felt by undergrads as wellas professors. This year he sworethat he would produce "Electra,"even if he had to rope, tie, andthrow a female impersonator toplay the title role.

Sure enough, those who saw lastSaturday's play were treated to aslady-like an interpretation of theGreek maiden as was ever wit-nessed. A light, graceful wisp of afigure glided upstage, carrying animaginery jug of water on "her"lovely head, paused, and gentlyset down "her" burden. Then, rais-ing her shapely arms to theheavens, she spoke her openinglines in a voice that was as freshand rippling as a mountain stream.

That was too much: women canwear slacks and be as masculineas they please, but whenl a manturns the tables on them-oh, well,it's all f or Art's sake.

his country in a capacity which is particularly necessary forvictory over a modern, mechanized army like the enemy's. Adeferment, then, is not something which a student gets; it israther something which he is given by a people which expectshim to do his bit in return. Obviously, the student's first methodof repayment is to apply himself to his studies so wholeheartedlyand so efficiently that he will be especially well-fitted for hiswar-time post.

Beyond that, the engineering student is further indebtedto the government which has provided him with a draft defer-ment. He must turn his attention to the peace which will fol-low and to his responsibilities in relation to that peace. It willprobably be the lot of the scientists and engineers after the con-flict has ended to guide alone their efforts towards a peaceablegoal. NPever again must they submit to the whims of a master,to a longing for money, or to any influence whatsoever whichcould cause then to contribute to the destruction of the peacethat will be established after the war. They must necessarilyturn their endeavors to peacetime activities so that that peacecan be enduring.

When the engineering student of today accepts his draftdeferment, he assumes for the engineer of tomorrow the re-sponsi bility of preserving a peace that can last only with the fullcooperation of science and technology.

ANOTHER TOWN MEETINGWith the approach of the annual class elections, once again

the problem of the student body being divided into residentialgroups and cliques with each seeking to corner the elective posi-tions comes to the fore. The unofficial electioneering season willbegin with the distribution of nomination blanks and will enldonly on election day.

In each residential group, caucuses havre been or will besponsored by a few of the leaders, who select one of their numberas the residential nominee for whom the rest of the group is in-structed to vote, and generally do. Not enough emphasis hasbeen placed upon the policies and qualifications of the candidate,in comparison to his minor services to the group to which hebelongs.

The situation wras partially relieved last year by the Debat-ing Society when it sponsored an elections forum in HuntingtonHall in which all presidential candidates from the three undergraduate classes presented their platforms to the students at-tending the meetiN. We suggest that the Debating Societysponsor another elections forum so that the voters will know forwhom they are voting and what policies. the elected officers willinstitute.

There are crackpots in everywalk of life who are spouting fal-lacies, the sum total of which isvery confusing to the average stu-dent. One moment he is urged toenter the armed forces; the next,he is told to stay put. Someonestates that he should prepare forpost-war reconstruction; anotherwarns him that we are fighting forour very existence, and that thepresent is all-important, the post-war period of secondary import-ance. You would do well to separ-ate the wheat from the chaff ofthese theories, and the consequentbenefit to the student body wouldbe enormous.

THE TECH

A PRIVILEGE AND A RESPONSIBILITYToday Secretary of War Stimson will pull from a fishbowl

the slips of paper which will determine the order in which thelatest registrants in the Selective Service draft will be called toduty. Particularly fortunate among these soldiers-to-be are thestudents of engineering who, because of their potential value toindustry and the war effort, will not be asked to interrupt seri-ously the routine of their peacetime lives to join the armedservices. Instead, they are to be deferred until the time thatthey have absorbed enough technical knowledge to serve ef-fectively the nation's best interests.

To the individual student, a deferment from active militaryservices means a great deal. It means that he can finish his edu-cation without interruption, that he can continue living as be-fore with minimum discomfort and regimentation, and that hewill not be subjected to the dangers of the battlefield at least forsome time to come.

Crew PracticesDespite Weather

The M.I.T. crews are progressingnicely, and practice is being heldregularly and without regard toany obstacles that nature maythink up to place in the path. LastSaturday the crews went out onthe river amidst the snow Atndwind, and, despite the very roughweather and the inexperience ofthe freshmen there were no acci-dents and practice was conductedwith the same efficiency as before.The main purpose of the practiceis to toughen up the oarsmen forany kind of weather, the first racebeing but a scant five weeks away.

Loveland Places4th At Amherst

Although few members of theteam accompanied Coach Jarosh tothe Intercollegiate meet Friday andSaturday, the contestants managedto take two points for the eighthplace as Amherst, the host, walkedaway with the meet. Jack Lovelandwas the sole Beaver to place whenhe seized fourth position in thebreaststroke. Jack Hunn lost aheartbreaking chance as he fum-bled his last dive which might havewon him a good score.

T'he meet was completely Am-herst's as it took a lead as great asanl of the other scores. The otherTech team to qualify was the 300-yard relay quartet, which has donean excellent job all season.

Large Turnout RaisesLacrosse Team's Hopes

Practising on emergency groundbehind the Alumni Pool, the var-sity lacrosse team anticipates avery successful season. Coach BobMaddux stated that the team hashad a fine turnout this spring andstill has two weeks of unbrokenpractice before any meets.

The Walker courts should beready in a few days, it wasannounced, and spring practicewill begin as soon as possible.Since a good many Seniors willbe leaving early, there is moreopportunity for undergraduates.The latter are asked to seeSummers tomorrow, Wednes.-day, at the Squash courts if it isfound impossible to attend therally on Thursday.

Fifteen fraternities to date haveannounced their intentions toenter the All-Tech Swim held theend of this week, March 19-22,while dormitories and other organ-izations have been strangely silent.'With better and greater plans be-in-: formulated, the sponsors ex-pect a sizeable audience as well asmore competitors to come out inforce for the finals at 2:30 Sundayill the Alumni Pool.

The grandstands will be open andthose who are unable to competefor the grand prize are requested|to bring a member of the fair sex.|The soprano screams of excitement|iwsill dispel all the gloom of the|Mlosing teams and will provide more interest in the mixed swimmingaf terwards.|

The waterpolo, which to swim-|nimers is considered a mild form of||drowning, is another highlight of|tine occasion. Arrangements have|been completed af ter faculty|9acquiescence for at least one if riotlXtwo bouts between upperclass|'Lteams and freshmen teams.|

The divers are practicing their|most tricky dives and will put on a|hair-raising exhibition. These mem-|bers of the varsity have takenalmost every meet they have en-tered and will put the finishingtouches to the program.

Skiers Deserve CreditFor Holding Meet

If the skiing story appearing inthe last issue of The Tech had notbeen cut off so short, it would havegone on to tell that the ski teamunder the sponsorship of the Out-ing Club was the host of the cham-pionship meet of the Eastern Divi-sion of the I.S.U. at Bridgeton, Me.,on February 27-28.

Hans Aschaffenburg, Jim Klein,and Frank McClintock were themainstays of the Tech barrelstav-ers. In the downhill race HansAschaffenburg skiied to the short-est time of his team, but finished4th. Jim Klein, Volker Rassbach,and Jim Mavor followed in 6th,12th, and 14th places respectively.

Take 2nd and 3rdBeaten only blr Les Soule of Colby,

Hans Aschaffenburg and Jim Kleinscored 2nd and 3rd respectively inthe slalom race. Volker Rassbachand Jim Mavor scored 13th and15th places. In the langlauf, about61,22 miles, Frank McClintock placed4th; Aschaffenburg and Mavor, 7thand 10th. In the jumping eventFrank McClintock was second onlyto Sommernitz of Bates; Jim Mavorand Hans Aschaffenburg scored 9thand 12th.

In spite of the good individualscores M.I.T. did not have enoughgood men to make a good showingin the totals. The results wereMaine 562.9, Bates 538.7, M.I.T.513.6, Colby 449.7. All in all, muchhas been accomplished in the fewyears that the ski team has existed.

Hans Aschaffenburg, Captain ofthe ski team, has been chosen presi-dent of the Eastern Division of theIS.U. With a better all-round teamlast year the Beavers won the I.S.U.Eastern Division Championship andfinally, the ski team went so far asto run the championship meet thisyear.
