Fitz Rawls ElectedTo TCA Presidency

Fitz Rawls '57 was elected to thePresidency of the Technology Chris-tian Association at the Annual elec-tions on Thursday, March 1. He suc-ceeds Walren Briggs '56, whose for-mal tenure in office will end in lateMarch at the annual installation ban-,quet. Although Rawls has had no for-mal association with the organiza-tion, his prowess in student govern-ment was adjudged sufficient qualifi-cation for the re-organization whichfaces TCA in the coming months.

Other officers elected were Tr avisAmis, III '58, Vice-President inCharge of Services; Halvey Notarius'568, Vice-President-Social ServicesDivision; Robert Phinney '58, Vice-President - Religious Action; RonMaiden '57, Treasurer; Ralph Schin-zel '58, Secretary.

Before the elections, discussion washeld regarding the proposal to changethe name of the organization fl omthe Technology Christian Associationto the Technology Community Asso-ciation. Although such action requiresapproval from the TCA AdvisoryBoard in order to become effective,student sentiment was unanimous inapproving the new change.

Also approved unanimously wasthe proposed new constitution) de-signed to make some changes in thestatus of 'he Advisory Board and theprocedure for electing new officel s.

move he and tie newly elected ex-ecomin plans to take in administrat-ing the motion is to divide the job tobe accomplished into the two mainCategories of a general evaluation ofthe pledge training system and thespecific solution to the initiation weekpoblem. The first of these will biehandled this sprin- and will be large-ly based upon discussions betweenpledge trainers and fraternity lead-ers and membel s of the Institutepsychiatry staff. Although this is nonew innovation il itself, the discus-sions should be more valuable thanthose of teh past in that specificpoints will cover as opposed to theL, eneral issues to which the talkswere limited in the past. The sec-ond category will be handled nestfall through questionnaires and a spe-cial committee which will privatelydiscuss initiation week individuallywith representatives from each house.Brenner stated, "I am very happy yosee that the motion wvas passed andI and the rest of execomm are com-pletely confident that each house willevaluate and l edesign its initiationweek practices in accordance withthe motion."

The Interfraternity Council passeda motion at its meeting last Thurs-day effectively eliminating any fu-ture fraternity hazing which mightbe dangerous to the pledge or harm-ful to the name of the Institute. Themotion was passed by a two-thirdsvote after considerable discussion.

The passed motion stated: "Thepurpose of pledge training and initi-ation activities of the fraternities atthe Institute is to enrich the life ofthe individual, especailly in his re-lationship with the group, the fra-ternity. and MIT.

"In keeping with this goal, we es-tablish the following principles:

"1. No fraternity shall violate thebasic principles of good taste, and afraternity will initiate no activitywhich will be detrimental to the rep-utation of the MIT community.

"2. No initiation or pledge train-ing activity shall constitute any phys-ical or emotional hazard to the indi-vidual. Such potential hazards in-clude the 'long walk', the quest. dan-gerous physical exertion or exhaus-tion, physical violence, paddling, andthe 'mock initiation'.

"3. No pledge training or initia-tion activities will take place outsideof the fraternity house with the ex-ception of such functions as a for-mal initiation banquet or service tothe community."

To administer and interpret themotion, the council recommended theformation of a permanent IFCPledge Training Committee andbroadly asked that chapter advisorsand members of the faculty and ad-ministration, including the counsel-

ing section of the medical depart-mient, gl ant aid wherever possible.The Pledge Training Committee willgive advice and assistance to the fra-ternities and will have the power torecommend changes in the program,subject to review by the IFC. IFCChairman George Luhrman, whospearheaded the drive tos-al d pass-ing of the motion in what was prob-ably his last important duty in office,stated after the meeting, "I am con-fident that the newly elected officerswill continue the fine wolk of theIFC, and will effectively carry out theadministration of the motion passed."

At the same meeting at which themotion was passed, the council elect-ed its officers for the coming twoterms. The offices Which were up forelection were chairman, secretary.treasurer, and two execomm mem-balrs at large, all of which combineto make tp the council executivecommittee. Elected wvere ChairmanMichael Brenner '57, Secretary Mar-ty Gerson '57, Trieasurer Fritz Her-m, ng-house '57, and MIembers-at-hirf.e Bill Salmon '57 and Bob Jor-dan '58.

Al C'lass Elections

Will Be Held TodayAs the bulging bulletin boards and

the placard carrying campaigners areseen throughout the halls today, onecannot help but know that todayclass elections are in full swing. Threeclasses are balloting for the officersof the next two terms along with thefraternity representative to Inscommcontest.

Enthusiasm for these elections hasbeen running high for the past week,the Freshman contest being especial-ly vigorous, with about fifteen candi-dates competing for the foul offices.Issues in this contest include FieldDay, actions of the Frosh Council oflast term, finances and coming events.

Sophomore elections, although morequiet than theil- understudies, arejust as intense, and mean a greatdeal, for the elected officers will makeup the Class Ring Cornmittee, anidthe President and Secretary Treas-urer will autonmatically be a part ofthe Juniolr Prom Committee. In addi-tion the Pr esident of the class willserve as Chairman of the JuniorProm Committee.

In order to provide mor e conve-nicnce for voters today, three pollingplaces will be available for the bal-loting instead of the usual two. Thesepolls will be located at the followingpositions: Building 10 lobby; junc-tion of buildings two, four, and six;and the junction of buildings one,three, and five.

Captain Jacques Yves Cousteau, theinternationally known undersea diverand explorer, -will speak in KresgeAuditorium on Tuesday, March 20, at7:30 p.m. under the auspices of theLecture Series Committee.

At the same time, his new fulllength feature film "The SilentWorld" will be shown openly for thefirst time in America. it was photo-graphed by Luis Marden of the Na-tional Geographic Society in wide-screen color and will soon be releasedin the U. S.

Since April 1952, The NationalGeographical Society has been spon-soring Capt. Cousteau in his underseaexplor ations. In cooperation with theNational Geographic magazine he haswritten many feature articles, includ-ing "Fishmen Explore a New Wor-ldUndersea", and "Fishmen Discover a2,200 Year Old Ship", which describesthe discovel y of an ancient Greektrading vessel found almost intact inthe Mediterranean Sea. Othel articleshe has written include "To theDepths of the Sea by Bathyscaphe",written in conjunction with Dr.Jacques Piceard, and "Exploring DavyJones' Locker with Calypso".

Capt. Cousteau's first interest inunderwater activities was shown inthe skin diving he did during the Ger-man occupation off t h e Southerncoasts of France during the SecondWorld Wal. This inspired him towrite his best selling book "The Si-lent World".

Special underwater camelras andstroboscopic lights have made it pos-sible to film in color the underwaterscenes which appear in "The SilentWorld". It is of note that these in-strumcnts, designed to work at depthsas great as 15,000 feet, were design-ed by Professol Edgerton of MIT.

The film has won wide acclaimabroad in its French plremiere, andcritics are waiting for its releasehel e. The domestic version of "TheSilent World" is il English, dubbedby Rritish Technicians in London.James Dugan, Cousteau's associateand author of the book "The Great

mances, Strawson won all eight ofhis natches, while Bristol won allbut one of his eight. Excellent pel-formances were also turned in byfoilmen Harvey Levine and Jim Wiet-ing. As a team they scored 10 winswith only six losses.

Of the six Tech fencers takingpart in the meet, three won high hon-ors in the individual awards. Straw-son, with a perfect record, won thefirst place trophy in the epee divi-sion, while Bristol was close behindin second place. Levine tied withBeers of Trinity for first place hon-ors in the foil division. In the play-off to determine who would take thetrophy, Levine lost to Beers, whomLevine had beaten in a hard-foughtbout earlier in the tournament. Thesabre division trophy was taken by

BU fencer Don Lambert, who drop-ped only one match.

That evening, after all 120 boutshad been completed, team captainHarvey Levine received the perma-nent team tlophy for MIT and Tech'scoach, Silvio Vitale was presentedwith the Rotating Elde Trophy whichannually goes to the winner of theNew England tournament. This wasthe first year for Tech to claim theElde. Last year the Engineers lostthe championship to BU by only onepoint, whil2 the two previous yearsTrinity had taken the top position.

Next week the fencers will travel toNew York to participate in the East-erns. It is hoped that several indi-viduals on the squad will be able tofence in the National Championshipsimmediately following the easterns.

Not often does a confirmed critic take the opportunityof engaging in "appreciation: the art of criticism after thefact." This pretty well unconfirmed critic will do so here-with, however, and let this review stand as his impressionsof the time, talent, and effort that went into Tech Showthis year, and quality of the resultant product.

This year, as in years before and since, the curtain wentup on a not-quite-ready production; it hurt to see the littlethings kill the otherwise fine work on opening night. Butone bad night, like one bad review, will never kill themagnetic idea of Tech Show, and this year was certainlyno exception. The capacity crowds of Friday and Saturdaynights watched a much-improved and highly tempered show.

The things that were wrong with Tech Show (and therewere some) were fortunately the most excusable. If anaudience can ask and get from any cast a sincere, friendlyperformance, it may be well satisfied; there was very littleto be disgruntled about this time.

As a. matter of fact, there was more than enough to bemost pleased with. Carole Behrens, for whom this was thethird Tech Show in as many years, was just what was ex-pected of her, and with Carole, you get quite something.Jack Rosenfeld, on his forth and final stint with the Show,managed to bring off skillfully a traditionally poor role:non-singing lead in a musical comedy. Jack did it and didit wvell, and his quick, happy feet and hurt little boy grinmade poor, unheroic Joe a very believable hero indeed. DubAlston, a Course VIII senior, although failing at times toput over the character of his Storyteller, still fitted well intothe tale, and at least looks like he should; when he "warmedup," he shone through nicely.

But for most of the audience most of the time, I wouldventure to say that the Show belonged to a freshman, GusSolomons by name, and, by skill and dexterity, one of themost theatrical men I've ever had the pleasure of watching.Gus is a past master of that seldorn-seen art, "The BigGesture". His feet, his hands, his head-his whole beingin fact-are perfectly coordinated, and he uses them topunch over every line, push home each phrase. Even MissBehrens, a master deliverer in her own right, had consider-able trouble keeping up with him, and when they met iathe "Heroes' Heroes" trio with Dub, it was a first class duelof blatantly good comics; the audience ate it up. Carole wason her own and at her best, however, when tne last scenecame around!

As a measure of success, "Djinn and Bitters" sufferedmore from an excess of talent than any other single factor.Due I imagine to the ability of several newcomers, theShow was arranged. in a theatrically dangerous manner. Inorder to make it possible for Maureen Taylor to deliver oneof the finest performances in the Show, she was written infor just one scene, and it, stopped the show with its owntheme song. Fine. But you can't get away with it unlessyou're awfully good. Isabel Cantelini, as the haughty Mrs.Norton, did her "Lament" with considerable verve, but,had she failed to put the number over (as she almost didThursday night), the pace of the show could have beenseriously hurt As it was, some of the solos went consider-ably better than others. Although well done by any stand-ards, Sandy Taymore's "Happily", Judy Sterling's "Ereudwas a Fraud", and Joan Icove's "Insane Melody" just didn'thave the push necessary to stand by themselves against abackdrop of almost no plot, and even less exposition; thisis far from legitimate criticism of the performers them-selves, for whose work I have great regard. Especially inthe case of Miss Icove, they were more sinned against thansinning: they gave most satisfying personal performances.But it points up the fact that the classroom concept of

theatrical structure and character development really meansomething!

What did go over, probably due in part to the fact thatshe was the only fully exposited character among the var-ious "Dream Girls", were the two numbers by CharleneHeaid as Roberta, the actress. Miss Heald has a fine voice.I hope she wasn't type-cast ? Insane as was the refrain, Mis3Cantelini, Dub Alston and chorus on "Go To Hell"' caughtthe audience just right every night, and despite somebreathy vowels and flubbed elocution, typified the generallyabove par choral work; although Bobby Shane, who ledthe sharp and nicely made "You're Ernest Hemrnmingway",could ver)y well have "leaned on it" a little more, particu-larly Thursday, she still came over with a bang. Jerry Mar-well, as well as directing, did a fine bit of flashy stage workwith Jack Rosenfeld in "Apache Fight"; Coleman Bess andNick Margulis, with supposedly little previous experiencecan put a line over with considerable skill; and Honey Levin,Jack's dancing partner in both the "Apache Fight" and

I

T

L

"Modern Dance" numbers, was fine. Miss Levin has warmthas an actress and skill as a dancer; she was great!

This again is not meant in a personal vein, for, in therush and pressure accompanying any show, even the mostskilled and patient overlook and make mistakes. Never-theless, it would seem that the structural difficulties in theShow were precentable: too little exposition, and expositionlines "sluffed" or not emphasized, so that the audience wasleft without motivation for some of the characters; dis-continuity in spots (uncomfortable gaps in the action).Thursday these things hurt the show, because the drive thatsparked the Friday and Saturday shows. was not quite thereto gloss them over. It's a professional, not an amateur fault,but it's worth thinking about, and maybe avoiding the nexttime.

Drama critics should keep their mouths tightly shut whenit comes to music, but perhaps it is fitting to finish withwords of praise for Morton Archtar, who, with competenceand even genius few would expect of any musician youngor old, wrote every note and every phrase that made themusic of "Djinn and Bitters" delightful. Tech Show '56was, in short, a worthy effort; a big job well done.

Role Of The Value ConsultantEditor's Note: This is the fourth of five parts of Dr. Harf-man's report on the area of value theory.

by Dr. Robert SO HartmenIn my counseling on a student's academic complaints I

try to make clear to him the relationship between intrinsicvalue and extrinsic value in teaching, on the one hand, andlearning, on the other. First I try to show him the intrinsicvalue of creative teaching, which means its rarity and price-lessness-to the point that some students agreed with methat to find one minute of such teaching in four years wouldbe w.vorth all the four years.

Secondly I try to show the student the peculiar difficultyof teaching the sciences. This difficulty has baffled educatorsfor years. One of the country's leading teachers of educationwrote me just the other day, concerning the differences be-tween teaching science and teaching the humanities. Scienceteaching, he wrote:. . . has always given me some trouble in my own educa-tional theory. I can get inspired with insights into the func-tion of the humanities and the arts as richly evocative of in-sights which they often do not literally intend to teach.The students not only come to live in a bigger world, butthey live more perceptively. This makes the impracticalstudies the more practical of all in later life when the stu-dent is confronted with novel problems of a high order ofgenerality. Moreover, the- students get a sense for style inthe larger sense, and this alone often makes all the differ-ence. The professional schools of the university commonlyfail to appreciate this. Consequently, they seem to turn topsychology rather than literature, and to literally directivephilosophical theories rather than speculative and imagin-ative theory in an attempt to get in capsule form what can'tbe encapsuled.

But when it comes to the exact studies, the physicalsciences, we have a different kind of problem. It is notenough to make the sophisticated observation that, of course,these studies really are not exact and that there is as muchopportunity for creative thinking here as in the liberalstudies. This is convincingly true only after most of astudent's academic work is over. For the most part, he isdealing in exactly logical and quantitative thinking whichhe is ever trying to refine even further. There is somethingproper about reading one's own enhanced ideas into Goetheor Picasso, but this is improper about 99% of the timewhen reading chemical formulas. Teaching a science is alittle like teaching a philosophy as doctrine, for commit-ment. He isn't supposed to think his own thoughts; he issupposed to think the right thought. That's what theteacher's or the priest's function is, to inform him. In thislies an obvious danger if one is teaching for the liberationof intelligence.

So far as my present thinking goes, the secret lies in thefelt intellectual disposition of the teacher. Either he getsbogged down with the notion that he is teaching a bodyof self-evident and necessary truth and emanates this wholeatmosphere in the classroom which the students contract bycontagion, or the body of science or doctrine is representedas one of the human mind's significant adventures. In thelatter case I should think the sciences themselves could beliberating if the teaching were punctuated with alternativeturns that thinking might have taken or did take. And yetno less a mind than Wkitehead, who would go along withall of this, modifies it by the introduction of his rhythmtheory which allows a period of years in which studentsjust soak up enormous quantities of exact and uncontestedknowledge.

Value theory makes clear this baffling contradiction by de-fining precisely the creative intrinsic and the systematic ex-trinsic dimension of science and the teaching of it. By un-derstanding these two dimensions the student will under-stand his own position and not confuse the values in ques-tion, either in himself or the teacher.

Thus, thirdly, I try to show the student his own intrinsicvalue and extrinsic function in the learning process. Hedoes not go to M.I.T. for the sake of M.I.T. but for thesake of his own personal development. Such development,however, presupposes an exact knowledge of oneself anda precise goal to follow. If there is such a goal, any kind ofteaching will prove profitable in the framework of one'sown concept of oneself. The dissatisfaction with certainkinds of teaching shows a healthy distinction between ex-trinsic curriculum requirements and intrinsic character in-clination; but if this dissatisfaction goes too far it shows alack of self-definition. It does not discern the value of theextrinsic as roevas to the intrinsic end.

An epic of truly monumental pro-portions, Israel In Egypt deals withthe destiny of a people, rather thanof individuals, and includes no lessthan 23 choruses, some of which areconsidered to be among Handel's fin-est. The oratorio is also notable forits brilliant orchestral effects.

Although Israel In Egypt is amongHandel's major oratorios, it has sel-dom been performed in this area.After the MIT-Connecticut Collegepresentation these two groups arescheduled for a second performance tobe given on March 18 in New Lon-don with members of the EasternConnecticut Symphony Orchestra, Ar-thur Quimby conducting.

Tickets for the March 10 concertare available at $1.00 from the Mu-sic Office, Room 14-N236; they willalso be on sale in the Lobby of Build-ing 10.

This Saturday MIT's first annualCharities Carnival will take place inthe Rockwell Cage. The Carnival,which will run from 7 to 12 p.m.,is the result of a year of work of atemporary subcommittee of Inscomm.and renews an MIT tradition whichwas discontinued two years ago.

As in the past the Carnival willfeature booths set up by living groupsand stunts by professors. An addedattraction being innovated this yearis the inclusion of girls from numer-ous girls' schools in the vicinity in-cluding Fisher, Leslie, Brandeis, andothers. Groups of these girls will as-sist the MIT groups in setting upand running the individual booths. itis expected that over seven hundredgirls will participate, the largestgroup of members of the fair sexever to participate actively in anMIT function.

An added feature in this year'sevent will be top Boston disc jockeyBill Marlowe who will emcee the Car-nival and present a stage show. Mar-lowe's 85,000 member fan club, in-cluding many MIT students, is thelargest of any disc jockey in theUnited States. The stage show willfeature several top East Coast rockand roll groups, including FrankieLyman's Teen Agers and the Valen-tines.

The money raised from the Car-nival will be allocated to five inter-national student charities, the mostprominent of which is the World Uni-versity Service. This charitable or-ganization is devoted to improvingeducation, particularly in backwardparts of the -world, by supplying

Professor Hugh C. Longuet-Hig-gins, a distinguished British investi-gator in the field of molecular the-ory who is John Humphrey PlummerProfessor of Theoretical Chemistry inthe University of Cambridge, En-gland, has been named Arthur D. Lit-tle Professor of Chemistry at MITfor the current semester.

Dean George R. Harrison of theSchool of Science who reported theappointment, also announced plansfor a series of lectures on the appli-cation of chemistry of modern phys-ical theories of atomic and molecu-lar structure to eb presented by Pro-fessor LTonguet--1iggins during thenext three months.

"Treating broadly the quantummechanical basis of molecular phe-nomena," Dean Harrison said, "Pro-fessor Longuet-Higgins plans to in-clude in these lectures applicationsto different fields of chemistry drawnfrom his wide experience in the the-oretical study of chemical compoundsand their reactions."

These lectures will be open to allchemists in the Boston area, as wellas to the MIT community generally;they are being presented each Mon-day and Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.

Professor Longuet-Higgins is oneof Britain's outstanding younger sci-entists. His training was received atOxford University where he took theM.A. and D.Phil. degrees.

In 1952 he was named Professorof Theoretical Physics at King's Col-lege, University of London, a chairwhose tradition dates back to its firstincumbent, James Clerk Maxwell. In1954 Professor Longuet-Higgins suc-ceeded Sir John Lennard-Jones in thePlummer Professorship at Cam-bridge. He is a Fellow of CorpusChristi College there.

He has served the British govern-ment and British industry in variouscapacities, and is a councillor of theFaraday Society. In 1951 the Chem-ical Society of London awarded himits Harrison Memorial Prize for themost meritorious series of researchpublications by a British scientistthirty years of age or under.

ITwo of the outstanding basketball

players in the history of MIT willclose out their intercollegiate careersnext Wednesday night at ShapiroAthletic Center, Brandeis University,when the Greater Boston All-Starsmeet the New England All-Stars ina benefit game for the BasketballHall of Fame. Admission is 75 centsfor students and one dollar foradults. The game will begin at 8:00p.m. and should prove to be a spir-ited battle.

This year's Co-Captains Dee Ver-gun '56 and Bernie Benson '56 willbe the Beaver representatives in thecontest, with Vergun tentatively slat-ed for a starting spot on the localquintet.

Benson is a veteran of three yearsplay, occupying a starting guard slotfor all of the past season and for sev-eral games in his junior year. Hisfloor play and clutch baskets haveplayed a big part in every game thisyear.

Vergun has rewritten the entirebasketball scoring books during histhree year's stay at MIT. He was re-cently given Honorable Mention onthe All-American team for the secondstraight year, and he finished highamong the national scoring leaderswith 409 points for a 24.1 point av-erage. In his first year he led theEast Campus intramural team to atie for the championship and thenpaced the All-Stars to a perfect rec-ord and leave him with the toprounding schools. He was a regularcenter from his first day of varsitycompetition and set a new seasonscoring record last year. This year

his 409 points broke his previous rec-ord and leave him with the top toptwo scoring seasons in the school'shistory. His 37 points against Lowellthis year also established the singlegame record.

Other outstanding basketball play-ers who will be picking up theirsheepskins this spring include LarryHallee, sparkling forward who attimes played some of the best bas-ketball of the team. Hallee was atwo year starting veteran, and hisspot will be hard to fill next year.John Patierno moved into his own asan outstanding guard this seasonafter two seasons of occasional play,Patierno became a regular during themiddle of the season and his deadlyset shots helped take the scoring loadoff the front line. Phil Platzman andMatty Matsuo will also be lost bygraduation. Both were strong second-line performers, moving into startingslots on important occasions to turnin brilliant performances.

All in all, next year's prospectslook very good, with several goodguards back and sophomore regularMac Jordan around to anchor thefront line.

Next year's winter sports scenewill also find many other regularfaces gone from the campus. Goal-keeper Sandy Aitken has finished hislast hockey game for the Cardinaland Grey and his skates will be hardto fill. High scorers Captain Sullivanand Gus Schwartz will leave a gapin the center ranks of the team whenthey depart in June. Defenseman JimCoult and Jim Royer will also be

Said Olin Dowrnes, music critic forthe New York Tzimes, of a recent NewYork performance by the HungarianQuartet:

"We listened to a group of fourstring players, profoundly versed intheir art, who sat down as informal-ly as if they were alone together intheir shirtsleeves, finding incompar-able happiness and solace for all theills that a troubled world might bringin making music together. It wasplaying that was farthest from theprecision hitting, smooth shellacked,crack quartet sort which could be im-agined. These men lived in the musicand the music lived in them. Therewas no need to carefully remember arehearsed effect, a special pause orbalance. With an enviable backgroundof experience and of living tradition,these men played instinctively to-gether . . . and in a way which wentstraight from heart to heart."

John E. Young is working toward his B. S. in chemistry from Cali-fornia Institute of Technology this June. He has maintained honorstanding in classwork while serving on the school newspaper, in thedebating society, and as treasurer of the student body. John is in-terested in chemical research and development.

Well, John, it's hard to define the difference in a way thatwill satisfy everybody, because one always finds a lot of over-lapping between research and development work. But mostpeople agree that there are differences, especially in time se-quence. Research work comes first, because one of its main ob-jectives is to establish or discover new scientific facts that willsupply the foundation for new industrial developments. Inother words, research men seek new knowledge about mat-ter, generally working with small quantities of it.

Development work comes later, and Du Pont has two maintypcs. First, there is newr process development. Here scientistsand engineers modify, streamline, and augment the findingsof research so that new chemical products can be profitablymade on a large scale-or existing products can be made bynewer and more efficient methods. Pilot-plant and semi-worksoperations are usually included under this heading.

Second, an important kind of development work is directedtoward improvement of exit'ing processes and prodZucts. Herethe men study how to obtain yield increases, utilize by-prod-ucts, increase outputs, and solve sales service problems as theyarise. This mlay require considerable research, and that bringsus back to the overlapping I previously mentioned.

There are genuine differences, John, but a good deal ofsimilarity, too--especially in the constant need for imaginationand creative effort. I think you'll find that research and de-velopment work are equally challenging and rewarding atDu Pont.

and brought it across center ice andinto the Wildcat zone all by himself.A New Hampshire defenseman cutin front of Paul, and at the sametime he lost control of the puck andsomehow it managed to slide pastGoalie John Barry to -ive Tech thefinal 3-2 margin. With two minutesto go in the game a penalty to Ek-berg put Tech a man down and atthe same time New Hampshire yank-ed their goalie to make them twomen up. Some good defensive play byBev Goodison '57 and Jim Coult '56added to some fine saves by Aitkenkept the puck out of the goal.

The season, which ended up withfour wins and nine losses, proved tobe somewhat disappointing, thoughnever lacking thrills. A better thanaverage team on paper, the puckstershad the misfortune of playing theirbest against strong opposition whereit was fruitless, and looking theirworst against teams they could havebeaten. Outstanding throughout theyear for the Beavers, Aitken's aver-age of over 37 saves per game, in-cluding 64 at Princeton, are far bet-ter indication of his value to the teamthan his defensive average of sixgoals.

The 1955-56 hockey season endedon a successful note Saturday after-noon as the Engineers came from be-hind to edge New Hampshire 3-2 atDurham. Goalie Sandy Aitken '5G, inhis last appearance in the Tech nets,turned in another outstanding perfor-mance. Defenseman Paul Ekberg '58scored the winning goal midway inthe third period.

Tom Buffett '57 shot Tech into thelead early in the game as he scoredunassisted at 4:28 of the first peri-od. For the remainder of the periodboth teams had several close callsbut were unable to hit the nets. PetePritchard tied it up for the Wildcatsearly in the second period, and ErnieTwombly but them ahead 2-1 at the18:20 mark.

The Beavers bounced right backin the third p e r i o d with GusSchwartz '56 scoring unassisted on along shot from just inside the blueline. Play picked up at this point asboth teams battled for the tie-break-inz goal. Several penalties againstMIT put the pressure on Aitken, buthe was able to keep the nets clean.The winning goal came on quite aninteresting play at 10:40, as Ekberg,playing defense, picked up the puck

Finishing off their season in stel-lar fashion, the MIT tankmen swamaway with a 60 to 24 victory overWorcester Poly this past Satulrday inthe Alumni Pool. The only eventwhich the Tech natators lost wasthe final relay.

The opener, the medley relay, waswon by Al Hortmann '58, Paul Cot-ter '57, and Dave Staples '57. Thesecond event, the closest of the after-noon, the 220, was won by MurrayKohlman '58 of MIT in 2:44.0. SamMcIntosh '57 of Tech was fourth, only2 seconds behind in a 2:46.0. TheBeavers picked up another 6 pointsas Carter Smith '58 won the 50, withFrank Salz '57 taking third. HarryDuane '57 was a few tenths of a sec-ond off of his own record as he fin-ished the 150 individual medley in1:43.3. Les Sodickson '58 took secondin this event to give Tech another 8points. The diving was won by DaveBryson '57, with Dan Holland '58 ofTech picking up second Will Veeck'58 won the 100.

the distance on his back for a third.The breaststroke, the final dual eventof the season, was won by Bob Hull'57. Bob, an ex-freestyler, has comea long way in this event and shouldreally help the team along next sea-son. Second place -went to FreddyWhite '56, captain of this year'ssquad. Freddy has done a fine job inleading the squad this year; he'skept morale as high as it has beenat Tech in a long time. The final re-lay went to WPI, although Hollandopened up a big lead as first man andWhite did a fine job at anchor.

Closing their regular season with :adisapointing 2-8 record, The En-gineer squash team bowed to a strongYale squad, S-1. Juan Hermosilla '57,playing number one, was the onlywinner. In downing Yale's highly ratedWarren Zimmerman, the Guatemalhnwas at the top of his game only inthe third set. Lacking the precisionthat usually characterizes his game,he was unable to win with his cornershots. Eventually it was his courtcovering and stamina that enabledhim to down the tall, husky Zimmer-man.
