Third Htighest Technology ScoreThe performance the team turned

in was really outstanding consideringthe fact that the tearn score they firedwas the third highest' that a Techteam has ever fired. The two scoresof 1437 and 1440 which. topped Satur-day's score was fired by Tech's Na-tional Championship Team in 1951,and both of those scores are world'srecords for five and ten man collegeteams.

Fresh WinThe Beaver freshmen, who fired

their match against the HarvardIfreshmen in the morning at the Techrange, led the way for the varsity bywinning their mnatch with a team scoreof 1359, which defeated the Harvardteam by 110 points and is in itself a'fine score for any freshman team tofire. High scorer for the fresh wasRobin Kozelka with 278, wvith 56'ersBreeden, Bdsch, Webb, and Circeosupplying the supporting scores.

The double set of victories Satur-day constitutes a :fine start for bothteams and chances are excellent thatthey .vill surpass all existing recordsfor intercollegiate rifle teams and re-gain for Tech the national crown.Team coach M/Sgt. Clarence Yeagerand advisor Herb Voelcker, captainof the '51 rifle team, are extremelyconfident about this year's opportuni-ties, and believe theat next year theTech varsity can break any recordsleft unbroken by this year's squad,since all the varsity team membersiare sophomores and juniors, and willbe bolstered next season by membersof this year's fine freshman team.

Other Contests ScheduledThe intercollegiate rifle season will

resume its series of natches afterthe Christmas recess, with varsitycontests scheduled against NewHampshire, Coast Guard, Boston Uni-versitly, and other New En-landschools, as well as ;a southern trip inearly February in which the teamwill meet the powe-rful rifle teams ofthe nation, including the NavalAcademy, University of MarylandIand many others.

best a dimly defined one. In ques-tioning some of the participants ofthe rivalry, I found a definite dis-avowal of any purpose. There werepeople who participated and who arenow encouraging the continuation ofthe plresent program to whom Fresh-man hazing represented "fun" andnothing more. Was it "fun" ? If break-ing down doors, overpowering peopleby sheer weight of numbers, inter-rtupting the schedule of new studentsalready cramped for time-if thesethings can be called "fun" then cer-tainly hazing' is "fun."

Hazing may be "fun" for

mny position was unenviable, becauseI entered it alheady firmly convincedthat hazing held no meaning for meand could not be made compatiblewith my personal beliefs.

What purpose, if any, is servedl bythe existence of Freshmen hazing?Certainly, Freshmen rules and the ac-companying hazing do help to in-tegrate the new student into theM.I.T. vway of life. We all agree thatthis integration is essential, but thisdoes not mean that hazing is neces-sarily an inviolable part of M.I.T.On the contrary, hazing is a negationof the most important aspect of lifeat Tech. The most individual thingabout our' school is the great freedomof choice that the individual is.given.Too many of us either take this feee-donl for granted or consider it irn-adequate. The rules regulating studentbehavior alre few and usually instigat-ed by the students themselves tbroughltheir student government. Adminis-trative edicts are very ralre occur-ences, here, unlike the situation inmany other colleges. Because of thisFreedom, the individual stadent ofM.I.T. is an important person. TheF1ree and untrampled grotlh of tlheindividual is our proudest posseseionand ;hould be our most cherished one.Yet, expediency seems to have wvonout over r eason, and in the attempt

to make new students realize themany advantages of ourI school we

find oulrselves resorting to coercivemeans. Force has no piace in a schoolg|rown strong' on the principle of in-dividual rights.I The' purpose behind hazing is Iat

The Beaver matmen used the Tufts Jumbos for their secondvictim of the year as the Freshmen and Varsity 7won again by thescores of 23-13 and 29-3 respectively. The freshmen collected theirvictory on three pins, a decision and a folrfeit against two pinsand a decision. The varsity won by three pins, three decisions anda default against one decision.

Graef Wins OpenerFirst varsity match on the mats was the 123 pound class

clash between Jack Graef of M.I.T. vs. Howland of Tufts. Thematch was very close and was well fought. Jack won by a decision

score of 9-4. Landy is a senior whohas wrestled thlree years previous tothe present season. In the final matchof the day Chuck Seymour, pinnedhis man Frandson in four minutesand 55 seconds. Chuck is also a seniorwho returns for his last year to theteam. Chuck in the 5ast has an excel-lent reputation and a record to backit up.

Frosh Come From Behind

The Freshmen team stalrted byLukins and MIT being pinned by But-ler in forty seconds. Next Masvallpinned Perry of Tufts in 1 minute, 42seconds. M[onzeglio lost by decision toSalke by a score' of 8-1. To tie it upLawson defeated Feron by a scoreof 8-4. MIT then pulled ahead withtwo pins, Hirschi pinned Cart, 7minutes, 2 seconds.

4-2. Jack looks better at his newweight class. Dick Dangel workedquickly and pinned his man in 3minutes and 40 seconds. This wasactually Dick's first match'of theyear. He looks to be in good shapeand did an excellent job on the Fresh-man Team last yealr. He won his firstmatch by forfeit.

Kennaday Takes Fast WinJack Kennaday working with his

usual speed and deadliness pinned hisman 2 minutes, 40 seconds the fastesttime for the varsity of the day. Jack's opponent was Gariepy of Tufts. DickCrow.ell lost a well fought battle toBylrne of Tufts. Dick lost by the scoreof 10-5. Dick suffers a little flronom lackof experience. He couldn't wrestle lastyear because he was ineligible trans-fel student.

Larry Berman of MIT looked con-vincing in his 9-4 victory over Swainof Tufts. Larry worked his usual pointstyle of wrestling that is w restling-for points rather than for the pin.Larry who just recently joined the.teanm has shown a lot of promise in his last two victories. Team captain|Ebeling won his match by default. Hisopponent Moore of Tufts was stunnedwhen his head struck the mat and wasunable to continue.

After the noise of battle hassubsided, the camera is brought tofocus on the Institute, "one of thegreatest institutions of its kind inthe world." Then some pictures ofM.I.T.'s more notable graduates areshown followed by a succession ofresearch labs filled With complicatedelectrical and chemical apparatus.

Role Of Scientists StressedAll the while the narrator stresses

the role Wvhich these scientists areplaying in shaping the modern world.By this time the awed audience isbeginning to wonder whether reallive college students are actually partof this world of flashing radio tubesand bubbling flasks.

The R.K.O. cameraman, undoubted-ly realizing this, devotes about tenseconds to show some serious mindedfreshmen watching and listening toan appalently fascinating 8.01 lec-ture. This is followed by shortglimpses of the crew, the sailing pa-vilion, and the track team. Thesescenes do not last too long and weonce again retulrn to watching artifi-cial waves bounce off a steel wall inthe hydrodynamics laboratory andseeing some pretty spalrks from ahigh voltage generator.M.I.T. A Storehouse of Brain Power?

The film ends with the boomingvoice of the nalrrator commenting onthe promise of science and its fullfill-mert here at the ]nstitute. Anyoneseeing the film and not-realizing theactual fact, cannot help getting theimpression that 1I.I.T. functions pri-marily as a huge storehouse of scien-tific curiosities, and all anyone doesis to take meter readings and turnon switches.

I firmlybelieve that a more natulral transitionto the college level than that whichthe hazing program offers is neededand desired by most students. To meetthis need, I now present the essentialcomponents of a workable plan.

1-Freshmen rules to be abolishedas such, but Freshmen should be wive-ample opportunity to learn the schoolsongs if they wish to do so.

2-Freshman Weekend to be im-proved, both in content and organiza-tion.

3--The Freshman Advisory Pro-gram to be strengthened and ex-panded so as to facilitate better un-derstancding among the Freshmen, up-perclassmen, and the Faculty and ad-ministration.

4-Dormitory Committee, Intelr-Fra-ternity Conference, Freshman Coor-dinating Committee, and both theFreshman and Sophomore classes toco-operate in an organized effort toreduce hazing to a minimum.

5--Dormitory Committee and thevarious House Conminttees to organizeinformal "get-togethers" for all stu-dents in dorm units at beginning ofschool year. The House Committees tomake a greater effort to satisfythe social and activity needs of dorlnresidents throughout the year.

6-Upon registlration, all Freshmento pay a nominal sum for class dues,this money to be used in calrryinglout class functions and projects. TheFreshmen tie should be abolished.

7--Field Day to be changed frominterclass to intercollegiate com-petition, with a series of eventsscheduled against one opponent-pos-

In short the picture misses thepoint. The majority of the footage isdevoted to showing special equipmentused by a very small majority ofTechnology students. References tothe existence of any sort of studentlife are made apologetically and inade-quately. It is clear that the main ideaof the film is not to present a truepicture of M.I.T. to the general pub-lic but rather is an attempt to drawpeople to movie houses by cateringto the general mania for weird andunusual scientific devices. It is un-fortunate that R.K.O.-Pathe chose tomake "Men of Science" in the mannerthat it did, for the film selves tosupport rather than condemn the pop-ular belief that M.I.T. is just a hugefactory devoted to the production ofbigger and better scientific devices.

8-The Glove Fight should be eli-minated-we all know of its inherentdangers-a serious injury could occurat any time, and would be senseless.

Field Day and the Glove Fight nowserve to break down tension which somany Tech students unavoidably ac-quire. A well organized program ofsocial events and activities in thedorms would remove tension peace-ably and more easily.
