Award to Draper

In a second Air Force presernta-tion, Professor Charles S. Draperwas given the Exceptional -ServiceAward for his work in solving AirForce Technological problems.Draper is Deputy Head of theAeronautical Engineering Depart-ment and Director of the Instru-mentation Laboratory. He iswidely known for his work on acomputing gunsight for fighteraircraft.

During the midterm vacation, the Technology varsity rifleteam took an eight-day tour which was probably the most ex-tensive and successful that any shooting aggregation has everundertaken. In the course of the trip, the team broke the rangerecord of every range that it fired onr., and as a result, now holdsrecords at six of the seven schools at which it competed.

The tour started out with a bang on Saturday, January 27,when Tech met the world's record-holding University of Mary-land team and last year's intercollegiate champions from West

Scieantists' Salaries!

L ower In SchoolsSalary levels of the Nation's top

scientists are considerably lower incolleges and universities than ineither government or private in-

l dustry. Earnings are highest inprivate industry not only for theentire group of scientists but alsofor those in each age group, inevery scientific field, and in everyregion of the country.

This is one of the major findingsof a study of the employment, edu-cation, and earnings of the coun-try's leading scientists. The study,which covers 42,00 of the 52,000scientists listed in the 1949 editionof the biographical directory"American Men of Science," wasmade by the U. S. Department ofLabor's Bureau of Labor Statisticsin cooperation with the Depart-ment of Defense.

The scientists studied were pre-dominantly research workers. Nextto research, teaching was the ac-tivity most often reported.

Chemists were ,by far the largestgroup, comprising about one-fourthof the scientists in the survey. Thebiologists were second and the en-ggineers third, although the total

However, the southerners put ona desperate last-minute drive whichTech could not match in the finalrelay. This gave the victory toMaryland with a 1440 total score,and a new world's record. Techcame out a strong second with 1432,and West Point finished third with1424. The Eeavers were sparked byCharlie MacDonald's stellar 292which took the top individual hon-ors for the day. Allan Tanner, HerbVYoelcker, Mel Bowers, and Art Auersupplied the supporting scores.

Beaver SweepAfter this first spectacular en-

counter, the rest of the tour wasrelatively easy coasting for theTechmen. On Tuesday morning theteam met the National HearstTrophy Champions from DuquesneUniversity in a shoulder-to-shouldermatch in Pittsburgh, and admin-istered a resounding defeat via a1420 to 1364 final count. Voelcker,Bowers, Tanner, McCoy and Mac-Donald supplied the five scores in-that order of relative magnitude.In the afternoon of the same day,this same crack five-man team de-feated the University of Pittsburghon the Pitt range by a 1414 to 1378score.

The team interrupted its Journeyto New York City on Wednesdaylong enough to fire against the rifleteam from Rutgers University. Cap-tain Herb Voelcker and ManagerAllan Tanner, supported by Zar-tarian, MacDonald, and Bowers,led the squad to a 1424 to 1394 vic-tIbory.

Development FundGoem Over The GoalMore Than 5 illol

Successful completion of the$20,000,000 Development Programwith a total of $20,100,000 was an-nounced by Marshall B. Dalton,national chairman of the Insti-tute's Committee on FinancingDevelopment, before nearly 1000alumni at the Mid-Winter Meetingof the Alumni Association atWalker Memnorial. '

Mr. Dalton said that in additionto the $20,100,00 contributed andpledged during the initial phaseof the Institute's long-range de-velopment program, the total -ofgifts and pledges during the yearwas recently increased by the$5,250,000 grant from the AlfredP. Sloan Foundation for the In-stitute's new School of IndustrialManagement, bringing the grand

.tbal to $25,35d,000.Mr. Dalton continued, "Although

the total amount contributed andpledged has exceeded the goal set,a part of the total contributed wasdesignated for purposes not con-templated in the campaign. As aresult, trio of the original objec--tives of the program, a buildingfor nuclear science and electronicsand a new gymnasium, have notyet fbeen provided for, although weare confident that funds for thesebwo important goals will ultimatelybe forthcoming."

Linear AcceleratorNow In Operation

Completion of a 17-million voltlinear accelerator for use in thelaboratory of Nuclear Science andEngineering at the Institute wasannounced last week-end by Dr.Jerrold R. Zacharias.

This new research tool, like othermachines of its kind, will be usedfor experiments on nuclear struc-ture and to verify-or disprove-hypotheses regarding the structureof matter and its interaction withradiation. Although its energy of17 million volts is not unusuallyhigh by comparison with other ma-chines like the synchrotron, theaccelerator will be very useful be-cause of its intense and narrowx-ray beam and its neutron output.

Construction of the linear accel-erator was under the general direc-tion of Professor John C. Slater,head of the physics department,who originated the design. Dr. Ar-thur F. Kip, assistant professor ofphysics, was in direct charge of itsconstruction.

Unusual OpporfunitiesOperation of the machine is now

the responsibility of Dr. Peter T.Demos and Dr. Isaac Halpern, whohave brought it into operation dur-ing the past 12 months. They haveIhe help of several graduate andundergraduate students in physics,

every branch of natural science,and about tzv-thiwds of the-Na-tion's iPh-D.'s in the natural sci-ences were covered by the study.The small proportion of scientistsin the survey who did not havedoctorates usually held eithermaster's or MlD. degrees.For Ph.D.'s in all specialties

taken together, the median salaryin private industry was $7,070 ayear, in government $6,280 a year,and in education $4,860. The en-gineers had the highest mediansalary and the biologists the low-est in every type of employment.So important, however, was thedifference in salary levels as be-tween one type of employer andmother that the biologists work-ing for business firms tended toearn more than the engineers onthe college campus.

The older men received highersalaries than their younger col-leagues, whatever the type of em-pl, oyment, but median salariestended to ingrease more rapidlyWith age in private industry thanin, any other type of employment.

In other words, 53.6 per cent didnot really commit themselves toany real support at all. In view ofthe fact that the poll was a per-sonal one and the pollsters favor-able to the cause, it was consideredthat any further polling wouldindicate, if anything, less favorableresults. Since it was iurther con-sidered that, for football, greaterschool support would be neededthan that indicated, and indicatedonly on paper at that, the matterwas dropped.

Incidentally, during the debateon the matter, it was noted thatthe question of football seems tocome up triennially.

Eight of the top New England-college basketball teams will be in-Vited to compete in a New Englandinvitational basketball tourney tobe held in March, it has been an-nounced by the executive connit-tee of the Association of New Eng-land Colleges for Conference onAthletics.

Acting upon the recommendationmade last spring by the Basket-ball Committee of this New Eng-land Conference, the executivecommittee had forwarded plansfor the tourney to the N.C.A-.Tournament Comuittee for ap-proval.

N.C.A.A. AgreesIt was hoped that the N.C.A.A.

would consider the winner of theNew England Invitational as theDistrict One representative ir* theMarch 'N.CAA. tournament. Thereply was to the eff ect that al-though the winner of the tourna-ment might not automatically bechosen this year, due to the possi-bility of some top teams being un-

able to compete because of priorscheduled commitments, that: (1)a team would represent DistrictOne, and (2) that the New Englandtournament would be a guidetoward the selection of that team.

The New England TournamentOamittee hopes that by startingthis year, the interest in collegiatebasketball will increase and thata higher percentage of participa-tion of invitees will result nextyear.

Held En MarchDetails of the toarnament will

be released in the near future byTournament Committee ChairmanEdward Parsons of Northeastern.It is known that the tourney vil'be held at some New England col-lege campus the week of the 12thof March. New England collegesare now being asked by ,ProfessorIvan J. Geiger, Secretary of theNew England Conference on Ath-letics, if they will compete in sucha tournament if invited and alsofor their choice of a proposed site.

In this match the Techmenreally showed their power againstthe strong St. John's team, andturned in a 1440 total whichequalled the record Maryland hadset when firing against M.i.T. fivedays previously.

Herb Voelcker led the team witha new M.I.T. individual record of295, and was supported by MelBowers with a 291, Allan Tannerwith 289, "Lightsnin' Dud" Hartungwith 284, and Charlie MacDonaldwith 280. St. John's College putforth a 1409 to oppose the Beavers'tally.

Defeat FordlhamA few hours after this spectacular

display of Tech power, a short-handed Tech squad defeated Ford-nam on the Rams' home range toadd another scalp to its impressivelist.

The finale for the tour occurredan the following day when TechDroke the New York UniversiLyrange record which it had set ayear previously. In this match, MeLBowers topped the individual listwith a 288, while Arthur Auer, HerbVoelcker, Dud Hartung and Allantanner supplied scores totalingz419. N.Y.U. shot a team score of1396.

As a primer for the triangular,match southern trip, the Beaversfired a triangular match againstDartmouth and Worcester Poly-sechnical Institute on January 20.rech's score of 1426 established anew record on the M.I.T. range, andwas far above the 1359 and 1350shot by Dartmouth and W.P.I. re-spectively.

fired against Wentworth Institute.rhe Tech freshmen really showedtheir strength by winning with a936 to 887 total in the two positioncontest. Tech's Jim Crewe 'high-lighted the match by turning ina superlative f96 individual score.Practically all the freshmen showdefinite promise as prospectivevarsity material for next year'steam.

The southern sweep provided val-uable experience and boosted thesquad's confidence. Much credit isdue -to Coach Jim Brahe and Man-ager Allan Tanner for the excellentway in which this tour was exe-cuted. Their efforts coupled withthe cooperation of the entire ten-man team yielded a record to beproud of, and definitely places Techin a top contending position forthe national intercollegiate cham-pionship.

Beaver Wrestling TeamDrops Meet To Amherst

On the Saturday before the vaca-tion, Tech's varsity wrestling- teamjourneyed to Amherst College andsuffered their fourth defeat of theseason. The team has failed to wina meet this season while tying one.The score against Amherst was17-11.

As usual it was Sinclair Buck-staff, -Earton Conant, and ChuckSeysour comTning through for Tech.Buckstaff and Conant won by deci-sions, whilte Seymour, wrestlingaonve his weight, in the unl mitedclass, came through with a pin in,he quick time of 2:48.

The 1951 Institute Indoor Trackseason swung into high gear dur-ing the three week exam and va-cation period. -

The emphasis has been almostentirely on the relay teams, open-ing with the Boston Knights ofColumlbus Meet at the ,Boston Gar-den on January 20. The two-milerelay team won its class relayevent, with Harvard running sec-ond and Springfield running third.For the Techmen, George Grenier,Bill Nicholson, Ed Olney, andVickers toured the distance in8:01.3.

Lose One Mile RelayThe one mile relay team of

Thompson, Stolley, White, andO'Donnell placed fourth in theirevent behind Tufts, Williams, andColby. The Freshman mile teamof Farquhalr, Williams, Klein, and:ovasz placed third in their event.

On January 27 the spotlight[hifted to New York's Madison3quare Garden, where the 15' 1"height reached by Rev. RobertRichards in the pole vault and a]:07.5 mile by Don Gehrman stolethe headlines. Tech entered onlyone team, running Grenier, Georgethompson, Vickers, and Olney ina one mile class relay. The Beaverrunners, after a good first leg byGrenier, faded to a poor fourthbehind strong teams from Man-hattan, Penn State and New YorkUniversity.

[Relay Teams Run 3rdLast Saturday night the B.A.A.

games at the Boston Garden com-manded the eastern limelight withTech running all three relay teams.The two mile team, again made upof Grenier, Nicholson, Olney, andVTiickers, ran third behind Syracuseand Providence. The also rans inthis event were N.Y.U. and Har-vard. The winning time was 7:51.5,second only to the record breaking7:41 turned in ,by Georgetown'scrack outfit.

Harvard Wins Dual MeetIn their only dual meet thus far,

January 13, against the Harvardtrack squad, the Beavers provedunready for a team as powerful asthe Crimson and bowed by a top-heavy 87-22 count. The only brightlights for Coach Oscar Hedlund'smen were the performances of thetwo mile relay team, which almostlapped Harvard's entry, and of:Chuck Vickers, who won handilyin the 1060 yard run.

that this effort in support of theInstitute comes to a conclusionjust at the time when the Institutemust accept large responsibilitiesin behalf of national defense, andwhen the resources and facilitiesmade possible by the developmentprogram will yield immediate divi-dends to the nation.

"The completion of this particu-lar intensive campaign does notmean that the Institute's financialproblems are solved or ameliorated.The price of survival of the privateinstitution must be sustained andaggressive solicitation of new sup-port. M.I.T. is no exception, andwe must, therefore, plan on an un-remitting effort to secure supportfrom private sources. We intendto do this. Plans are now beingcompleted for a permanent devel-opment office and program whichcan insure this long-term effort.

I believe that the Institute shouldplan on obtaining at least another$10,000,000 in capital funds withinthe next five years, and that it isnot unrealistic for us to strive todouble this amount in addition tothe $20,000,000 we have already se-cured. The objective is not to growbigger, but rather to grow strongerand more effective and steadily toincrease the quality of our educa-tion."

Dr. Killian said that in order tomaintain quality of technical edu-cation in the Institute the admnin-istration had concluded that itshould Lot make any plans for ac-celebrating its program by requiringstudents to go to school the yearround. Experience in the last war,he said, clearly demonstrated thatthis kind of schedule definitely re-duced standards of education, andthat such a program of year-roundeducation should be required onlyas a last resort.

TCA ContributionsThe TCA requests that all eontri-

butions pledged to the TCA FinancialDrive' last fall be paid as soon as pos-sible so that the drive books may beclosed before the end of the fiscalyear. Pledges are payable either atthe Bursar's Office',or alt the TCA of-fice in Walker Memorial.

Mobilization(Continued from Pdge 1)

the present world situation isdeplorable; there has been a 50%increase in drunkenness since1941; and "Liquor Lena and Col-lege Charley are having a bettertime of it than ever before."

Safety engineer Mark Donderostated that an M.I.T. Defense Coun-cil will not even attempt to protectthe Institute against a direct atombomb hit. All we can do is to seekprotection from a "miss," Donderosummarkzed. Nevertheless, the com-mittee expects to distribute some10,000 pamphlets--describing thelatest methods of protection againstatomic attack-to every individualconnected with Technology. Thiswill be done within the next fewdays, Dondero stated.

Accelerator(Contin-eut from Page 1)

who have the unusual educationalexperience of using the linear ac-celerator as a research tool in mod-ern physics.

Electrons shoot into the linearaccelerator at nearly the speed oflight from an electrostatic gener-ator of the type originally developedby Dr. Robert J. Van de Graaff,professor of physics. They rush thelength of the 21-foot tube by ridingon waves of high-frequency elec-tricity acquiring more speed andenergy.

At the end of the tube, electronswith lup to 17 million volts of en-ergy enter a vacuum-tight metalbox. In their collisions with atomsin their path, these electrons knockout neutrons and high-energyx-rays, which will be of great im-portance for studying nuclearstructure.

"Ea(gnetrons"

The waves on which the elec-trons ride down the 21-foot tubeare generated by 21 radio trans-mitters of the type used in radarsets, technically known as "mag-netrons," one to each foot. One ofthe difficult things about buildinga linear accelerator of this type isto get these 21 tubes operating inthe synchronism, so that each elec-tron is pushed ahead and notpushed backward when it enterssuccessive sections.

The solution is to let one of themagnetrons set the pace for allthe rest. The transmitter tubes aredivided into seven groups of threeeach, and in each group one mag-netron is designated as master, toguide the other two workers. Themasters, in turn, are guided by onecontrol group of three--and withinthis group one is master and twoare workers. This ruling master isthe official timepiece of the organi-zation, making sure that electronsspeed smoothly down the fulllength of the tube.
