Managing Board though thought by many to havebeen born and bred in the 5:15Clubrooms, Jim Gallivan is actuallya native of Dorchester and haslived in tle Puritan City all his life.Graduating from Boston LatinSchool, he entered Technology inthe fall of 1940 and enrolled inCourse III. He is now one of the'few students left taking the courseand has just finished his thesis onsteel cartridge cases.

Jim's main undergraduate activ-ity was the work he did on TheTech. He became a freshman re-porter on the newspaper during hisfirst week of school and then wasmade successively Staff Assistant,Personnel Manager, and ManagingEditor. This last post he held fromJanuary 1943 to January 1944.

Outstanding Work on The TechThe outstanding work that Jim

did during his term as ManagingEditor is of the greatest credit tohim. When the future of the paperseemed very uncertain through lackof staff and financial support, ad-vertising and circulation, he dideverything ill his power to keep the

Charles W. Adams, 6-45, in as Secre-

of the 'fact that all of these len

have been recommended to the Na-

when evacuated from the dorms,

"6Openl House"' To Be EeldFor Freshmen, V 12, Coeds

At a meeting of Technology stu-dent activities heads held at 5:00P. M. Tuesday, February 15, inLitchfield Lounge, it was decided -tohold a so-called Activity OpenHouse during the third week of thecoming term. This open house willbe held for the purpose of gettingas many of the incoming freshmenas possible into student activitiesas well as giving the members ofthe present freshman class anotherchance to see what each activityhas to offer them.

Six students were appointed to anActivties Open House Committee.They are King Cayce, 10-44, Chair-man of the Walker Memorial Com-mittee, John L. Hull, 10-44, to rep-resent the V-12 unit, John M.Thompson, 10-44, representing theM.I.T.A.A. and all the sports, GilbertK. Krulee for the T.C.A., CarolynD. Cross, 2-46, representing the co-eds at Technology, and Frank W.Nolan, Jr., 10-44, who represents theClass B Activities. This committeewill work out the plans for theOpen House and will be in chargeof running it.

the school. Therefore The Tech would like to bring to itsreaders the best information that the staff has been able to obtain.

First, judging by the quotas already revealed for othercolleges, the Institute quota will probably be about half of thepresent number having deferments, with the actual numbernot certain yet in Washington. Those students whose nameshave been submitted to the National Roster for approval havebeen notified by Dean Lobdell, but, as he warns in his letter,this is not a definite assurance that the student will be deferred.The National Roster must first approve the deferment and thenthe student's local draft board must approve it. Those studentswho have not received notices by now can almost be certainthat they have not been included in the recommended group.Even if they hold a deferment now good for several months,this deferment may terminate before the date indicated on it.Definite news about these deferments will be announced later.

The Institute is doing its best to learn the answers to allpossible questions on the new draft regulations, including suchquestions as what is to happen to men becoming eighteen afterthe quota is filled, and whether other Technology students willreplace in the quota those students whose applications for defer-ment are refused.

Many students may not know that the Federal regulationsspecify how many students in each of four broad classificationsmay be deferred from each school. The national quotas are6,775 engineers, 850 physicists, 2,500 chemists, and 125 geolo-gists. The breakdown of the Institute quota has not beenrevealed. The method of allotting quotas to individual schoolshas not been told nor has Technology's method of choosingthose to be recommended for deferments.

To those students who will not be with us next term weextend our best wishes for the future and ask them to bear nohard feelings in a situation that was inevitably to come. It isalways difficult to draw a line dividing the men who will beallowed to go on studying and those who must go out to fight,but be assured that the members of the Faculty have drawn theline in the best and fairest manner they could find. Again ourbest wishes, we hope to see you back here after the war.

Eliot Elisofen'sTunisian BattlePhotos On DisplayFilmed under actual combat by

Eliot Elisofen of Life magazine, thephotographs now on exhibition inthe Lobby of Building 10 constituteone of the best war coverages yetto appear for public consumption.Most of the pictures were taken inthe actual combat zone, often underartillery and small arms fire, andpresent a pictorial record of theTunisian campaign.

Perhaps the most dramatic photo-gcraphs were taken during the raidon Sened. The pictures show Amer-ican M-3 tanks moving, into battleand sho~ts of the actual engagement,including an attack by JunkersJu-87b "Stuka" dive bombers on acolumn of our tank destroyers.Also excellent are pictures of araid by A-20 attack bombers of theTwelfth Air Force on German posi-tions at Maknassy. Elisofen relatesthat he was so busy taking picturesduring, the actual bombing that hedidn't see the objective. The firsthe saw of the town of Maknassywere prints of his -pictures he re-ceived when he returned' to theUnited States,

The real feature of the exhibitis the spirit and determination ofthe common soldier, which Eliso-fenhas so ably captured on celluloid.His pictures of tlle infantrymen,th-e tank crews, the artillerymen,and the men of the Signal Corpsgoing about the business of warprove, that in spite of the ma-chines, this is still a war of menagainst men.

Few photographers have everbeen able to capture the spirit aswell as the facts of war in theirpictures. Eliot Elisofen's ability todo just this mark him as one of thegreat photographers of our day.

Winning two relays last Saturdaynight in the Boston Garden B.A.A.Games, the Beaver relay teams hadlthe situation well in hand againstrepresentatives of twelve colleges.Tomorrow a few of the Beavers godown to New York to compete inthe N.Y.A.C. Games at MadisonSquare Garden.

The varsity one-mile relay com-binaition ran off a 3:31.9 mile whichwas more than enough to winagainst Harvard and Cornell. Infact, Tech finished third ,in therelay times. Rochester was firstwith a 3:29.7 effort. This Brady toGoldie to Bryant to Burns team will

i run tomorrow in New York withoutlead-off man Bob Grady, who hasto spend the week-end aroundCambridge.

Hollister ShinesThe second team mile squad also

copped some laurels as Hollie Hol-lister ran a fast third lap to giveM.I.T. a 3:34.4 victory. Lew (notAndy as he was referred to lastweek) McKee, Al Kay, and DaveBailey also ran in this relay againstBates and Cornell. l

In spite of the fact that OttoKirschner ran a 2:00.2 half mile,the varsity two-mile combo of OttoKirschner, Al Pritchard, Dick Poor-man, and Art Schwartz bowed toRochester and N.Y.U.

| igh Voltage ExperimentA couple of Tech boys also

grabbed the spotlight in the Gar-den, but not on the board track.The two would-be engineers con-ducted a high voltage experimentin the middle of the floor with aphoto-floor lamp. After several ear-splitting explosions had rocked theGarden, photographers Tom Brownand Bob McClintock ran for theirlives. Said Brown in retrospect,"The damn thing was wet."

The Navy V-12 sailors did not winanything in the Potato and Ob-stacle Races, but Chuck Simpsonand Bill Bodie finished second andthird in the potato affair. BillSchultz managed to salvage a thirdplace among the obstacles. TheV-12 units in Harvard and Tuftsfurnished the opposition.

In a game played last Fridaynight to determine third place, ChiPhi trounced Phi Delta Theta, 21 to13. The boys from the Penway

.played a hard tough game to makesure they would win. They keptthe ball moving all the time, andsent their star, Kyros. down to score14 points. The Phi Delts were pacedby Baker's seven points.

| Swimming AwardsGiven At Banquet

The Swimniing Team awards weregiven last night at their annualbanquet. The team had a successfulyear, although they didn't hit theirstride until the midpoint of theirschedule.

A straight "sT" award went to JimWaters for his achievement in theTrinity meet when he set TheAlumni Pool Record of 2:37.2 secs.for the 200-yard breaststroke.

14 M[en Awarded LettersThe following members of the

Assumes Old PoestMembers Will Play HostTo Rival College Teams

Now that the Beaver Key Societyhas swelled its numbers again afterthe recent elections, its membershave decided that the Society willact more like a Key Society againand assume the role it played beforehalf of its members were draftedand its activities drastically re-duced. This was decided at a meet-ing held at 5:00 PM., Wednesday,February 16, in Room 10-200.

Although the functions of theBeaver Key Society have for a whilebeen restricted to holding inter-mural sports tournaments its realpurpose is to act as a "Good WillAmbassador" to members of othercolleges coming to Cambridge to en-gage in competition with Technol-ogy teams. Members of the societyusually meet other teams at therailroad station, take them over tothe Institute, see that they had aplace to stay overnight, and makethem feel "at home" generally.|Members of the Beaver Key Societynow are trying to revert to thesehabits.

A committee was appointed totackle this job. They are: EdwardJ. Kelly, Jr., chairman, RolandNagy, Tom I. Stephenson, III, andWilliam F. Blitzer.

Advisory CouncilHolds Meeting

More publicity for athletic eventsabout the Institute was the bigtopic of discussion at the regularmeeting of the Advisory Council ofAthletics at the Engineers club lastWednlesday night. Also -letterawards were voted to the varsityand jayvee swimming teams.

Publicity about meets this springhere in school should take preced-ence over notices in the Bostonpapers, the group agreed; and plansfor posters on all bulletin boardsbefore each contest were pushedahead. The only objection to suchan arrangement would be in themechanical details of printing and|distribution, which can be easilyovercome according to John M.Thomrpson, 10-44, President of theM.L.TA..A.

Saturday ContestsThe Advisory Council also agreed

to suggest to the dance committeesnext term to build up Saturday,meets and games after the Fridaynight dance in preference to theregular house parties. But this,emphasized Thompson, was only asuggestion.

A straight T was awarded toJames L. Waters, 246, for breakingthe 200-yard breast-stroke record inthe Trinity meet. Also, letters werevoted to the other members of thevarsity. The usual custom of tabl-ing the ATA class meet awards untilnext Spring to avoid duplicationswas followed.

Tech Courtmen

Bow To StevensTraveling all the way to Hoboken,

New Jersey, the Beaver quintetdropped another game to powerfulStevens Institute by the score of42-32 in a renewal of a series whichwas broken off il 1932. Except forthe Beavers' spirited rally in thethird period when the local boyscame within four points of Stevens,the Stute, who won their tenthIgame of the year, had the game wellin hand.

Stevens jumped off to an earlylead in the first half with a 19-8tally, but for the remainder Techplayed the home team even. Cap-tain Cal Taft and Roy Haddoxturned in good games, while DougWatson, who had been laid up witha .bum ankle for a week, was onthe floor for three quarters of thetime, though his eye was not upto par.

Coach Henry MacCarthy was un-able to accompany the team, butsent along a capable assistant. SaidCalt Taft about the Stute, who in-cidentally played their last game|against Tech, "Those boys really

'Barflies BeatEager Beavers;Demnons Ahead

Maxwell Top Scorer;Playoffs Planned ForSecond Week in March

The Demons of Company D helduncontested the lead over the ASTPBasketball League as a result ofthe fifth week of play. The EagerBeavers of Company A, former co-holders of the top spot, lost theirfirst game of the season to the Bar-flies of -Company B to take secondplace along with the Barflies. Onerecord was broken and one was tiedas the Hotshots of Company Btopped the luckless RO'TC teamWednesday evening by a score oT38 to 17. Maxwell sparked the Hot-shots attack making 26 pointswhich now stands as the record forpoints per game for any man in theleague. The Hotshots total matchesthat rung up by the Demons whenthey beat the ROTC as the highesttotal team points for any game.

Beavers SwampedThe first half of Monday's double-

header matched the previous Mon-day's games as both teams put onan excellent display of body checksand flying wedge plays. By virtueof Mullaly's skillful shooting andsome fancy footwork, the Demonsstaggered off the floor 27-18 winnersover the plumbers. The. secondgame was far cleaner and just asexciting as the Eager Beavers foughthard to maintain their unblemishedrecord in the face of a well-coordi-nated attack of the Barflies. Loeserof the lushes was high scorer forthe game bringing home 8 pointsworth of the necessary bacon.

The first half of Wednesday's

twin bill saw the two cellar teams

fighting it out for the honor of

climbing out of last place. The

Snafus of Company A proved to be

the better team as they slapped

down the Devil Dogs of Company Dto the tune of 24-12. Deutsch led

the winning aggregation with 8

points while Hoffman gave the Dogs

five.

A still fighting although hope-

lessly outclassed ROTC team bowedto the victorious Hotshots to com-plete the week's bill. Hart of theCompany C team was second high-est scorer for the game with 7 pointsafter Maxwell's 26.

Playoffs TentativePlans are now being made to con-

tinue the league with playoffs afterthe expiration of the present sched-ule. These playoffs would start theweek of March 6 with the seconddivision semi-finals. There will beno games the evening of March 8because of the ASTP swimmingmeet. The playoffs will be resumedMarch 13 with the semis of the firstdivision and league leaders and sec-ond division leaders will be deter-mined the night of March 15.

AST Band HoldsFirst Rehearsal

Forty-Five MusicianasShow Great Interest

Recently organized through theefforts of the special service officer,Lt. Fishman, and made possible bythe use of Technology's ROTC in-struments, the ASTP Band held itsfirst rehearsal Tuesday afternoon,February 8, in Tyler Lounge ofWalker Memorial. Forty-five menwere present.

Last week's session gave the ma-jority of the musicians their firstopportunity to play an instrumentsince coming into the Army. Inview of this fact and in considera-tion of the players using unfamiliarinstruments, the music was good.

Devoting part of the first re-hearsal to completing details of theorganization, band members votedto combine the required hours ofpractice into a two hour meetingfrom 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M, eachWednesday night.

If present indications are signs tobe trusted, the AST unit will soonhave a band of which all can beproud. Unfortunately, there werenot enough instruments to allowall interested men to participate,the reed section being especiallyhard hit. Some hope is felt, how-ever, that the shortage of instru-ments may be filled by the USO ora civic organization, according toLt. Fishman.

Instrumental in organizing theband was Clarke S. Bressler of Com-pany A, who greatly aided Lt. Fish-man. Following is the band rosterbefore eliminations were begun. Allwill have an opportunity to playwhen instruments become available.

Trumpets-K. D. Kroffel, B. L.Goldsmith, H. G. Green, R. E. Deal,R. W. Baluffi, L. Novick; Cornets-L. C. Widmann, E. D. Sinclair, G. R.Weeden, R. S. Caswell; Clarinets-J. A. Lima, N. E. Pistorius, E. E.Gauthier, D. C. Kievit, E. P. Saper,R. V. Hill, R. M. Hartley, G. R. Miller,T. S. Greenwood, J. C. Fiedler, R. H.Palmer, A. Markus.

Trombones-J. B. McDevitt, R. J.Fischer, H. A. Miller, C. E. Murry,J. A. Langley; Baritones-F. Rees,G. L. Butler, J. S. Marion, H. E.Williams; Saxophones-W. H. Bitt-ner, L. M. Buckner, J. H. Whitting,A. J. Paraskevas; Percussion-J. H.Fox, V. J. Scholund, B. C. Lane, J. A.Lewis, S. R. Sweetser; Bass-J. L.Lawerence, J. R. Popejoy, S. J.Harris; French Horn-F. Blatz.

It's a far cry from the noise and2xcitement of the basketball courtto being curled up with a goodbook, but that is the essence of thedouble life -led by Pvt. Edward J.Mullaly. Born and raised in Bay-side, Long Island, New York, Mul-laly started his military experienceat an ear .y date by attendingXavier Military High School in New IYork City.|

Ed won a scholarship to St. lJoseph's College in Philadelphia{and divided his time between study-|ing for a degree in Bachelor of|Arts and winning a name for him-{self in the field of basketball. In April, 1943, he enlisted at FortlMeade, Maryland, having made a record as a flashing forward againstIsuch teams as CCNY, Fordham, Northwestern and New York Unii- lversity.+

From his Infantry basic at Camp|Wheeler, Ga., Mullaly was ordered:ito the STAR Unit at The Citadeland then was sent to MIT for basicengineering.;

In addition to being among the.high-scorers in the ASTU Basket-ball League, this congenial Irish-man rates tennis, baseball, andfootball among his other athleticabilities. Most of his spare time,-howe~ver, when he is not leading.the DEMONS to victory on thecourt, is spent reading Englishliterature..

A call for a still larger attendancewas sounded this week by Pvt. EdwinL. Crawford for the Sunday eveningworship service held on the campus.These meetings were started earlylast November by a few enlistedmen who desired to provide a placeof worship for the men stationedat the Institute. Never lasting overan hour, these meetings beginpromptly at 7:00 P.M. every Sundayevening in Prichard Hall, located onthe second floor at the North Eastcorner of Walker. They are non-sectarian, pattern after worshipservices of an army post, and fea-ture the music of a now famousmale septet.

The service is conducted entirelyby enlisted men. Attendance hasgrown from four to thirty, but weunderstand that several times thatnumber are wanted.
