Heads Largest DepartmentThe Department of Electrical

Engineering, the largest in the In-stitute, has a registration of 902students, of whom 302 are studyingin the graduate school. In additionto its undergraduate and graduateeducational program, the depart-ment carries on research which, onthe basis of budget, is as compre-hensive as the operations of indus-tries with comparable personnel.

Thus, the administrative respon-sibiiities of this single departmentare comparable to those of manysmall colleges. Its academic staff,including the junior grades ofassistant and research assistant,totals 260 members, while the totalpersonnel, including those of theDivision of Industrial Cooperationunder the immediate supervision ofthe department faculty, totals 750.

During the post-war peak, stu-dent enrollment in the Departmentof Electrical Engineering exceeded1,200. Associated with ProfessorHlazen and Professor Brown is Pro-fessor Carlton E. Tucker, the de-partment's Executive Officer.

EDITORSSunday, Nov. 19

This is a fine situation! I amtyping this column in total dark-ness, and for one, I'm darned glad

I spent three weeks learning touch-typing. The lights in downtown

Boston, which have just gone backon, are visible from my window, insharp black-and-white contrast to

the Cambridge side, which is ex-periencing a total blackout. Atabout 6:30 p.m., tonight, powerthroughout Boston and environsfaltered and stopped, and has beenout ever since except for the down-town area, which has just resumedfunctioning.

Flickering on the faces of theold dorms buildings is the reddish

light of a bonfire, started soonafter the lights went out, and sup-plemented by fireworks, the oldfamiliar water-bombs, and ex-ploding mixtures of sodium and

water. You commuters don't knowwhat you're missing. The fire de-partment has been here as usual,and extinguished the first fire, buta second, bigger one was started asthey left,--oh-oh! Even now I hearthe clanging bell mingled withraucous shouts that means they areback, probably with the paddy-wagon. Last I saw, some guy wasroasting marshmallows over thesource of all the rumpus.

Officer Grady, who is accustomedto these outbursts says simply,"High school stuff!"

But outside Tech the blackout isone colossal misfortune: Carslined bumper to bumper have beeninching across Harvard Bridge, andtelephone lines are being run onemergency battery units. Streetlights are out, and people arecarrying flashlights and lanterns.However three determined Bemis

brownbaggers, not the least bit dis-turbed, placidly continued theirstudies by the light of a gas lamp.The whole thing reminds me of a

painfully recent subway break-down, which occurred at the heightof the rush hour, and was also due

to an electricity failure. BostonEdison had better get on the ball.It's a sorry state when the failureof one peice of apparatus can cut

the current of the entire Bostonarea to zero.As for me, I just wish I had

,gotten a date for tonight!

If you have followed this column,you will be interested in the follow-ing note from Professor Francis W.Sears:

"You may be interested to learnthat the Graduate House straddles

the issue. For lunch the other daythey had WELSH RARBIT."

By this time, I wish I'd neverseen a Welsh rabbit. Make mineon rye!

And then again, maybe that stu-dent of elementary German hadsomething when he translated"Heraus damit!" as, "To hell withit!"

By ED LEONARDIn an effort to find sources of

females as yet untapped by theTechnology student body, thiswriter and an assistant journeyedto Boston University's School ofPractical Arts and Letters' Dormi-tory, Murlin House, under cover' ofa The Tech presscard. Two and ahalf hours later we had extractedthe following information for sixgirls representing five differentgeographical locations, four dif-ferent classes, and a thousand dif-ferent ophaions.

We were on the defensive fromthe start. "MI.T. men are better-and they know it," the girls agreed.They also agreed that it was easierto get a blind date for an M.I.T.man than it was for a Boston Uni-versity man. And fraternity par-ties? To a woman, the girls pre-ferred Tech fraternities and fra-ternity par-ties.

To the query, "How forward doyou think M.I.T. men are?" therewere quick answers. They addedup to "plenty." As one of the girlscommented, "If he doesn't try tokiss you at least by the second date,you know something's wrong."

Girls Drink, Smoke SociallyMost of the girls to whom we

spoke would drink. None of them,however drank unless on a date,and they didn't feel it necessary todrink when dating. In their estima-tion, a full ninety percent of thegirls in ,the dormitory smoke.Several of the girls considered anevening at the Eliot Lounge a"special" evening. All of the girlsdrank more in Boston than theydid at home.

The one hundred eight girls ,liv-ig in the house are about eightycents worth of taxi from WalkerMemorial and thirty to.forty centsmore taxi to downtown Boston.They have a particular aversion tomovies, and a distinct preferencefor Walker Memorial's social af-fairs, Pritchett Lounge, and bigM.I.T. dances. All said that. theyenjoyed an occasional play orsymphony, but didn't expect suchtreatment regularly.

Freshmen PredominateFrom a statistical viewpoint, we

garnered the following facts: Aboutninety percent of the girls are fromNew England, and most of the

This theory is the key to allfuture development and is basedon expansion in the scope of design.The need for this theory evolvedfrom ithe increasing complexity ofthe world since 1917.

In connection with Comprehen-sive Designing, Mr. Fuller has madenotable achievements in the fieldof spherical structures. Sphericalstructures enclose the most volumeusing the least surface. They arepractical, since strong forces, suchas explosions, have no effect onthem. This property makes themhurricane- and earthquake-proof.

Red AAggression In S. KoreaInitiates Open Wsarfare]Editor's note: This Is the last of a series of articles writtea especially for THIE TECH byProfessor Thomas H. D. Mahoney describing Korea and the part it has played In Inter-national relations since the close of World War II.

By PROFESSOR THOMAS H. D. MAHONEYDeportment of History

On 15 August, 1948 the Government of the Republic of Korea wasformally inaugurated, and the United States Military Goveunment ended.Four months later the General Assembly replaced its temporary com-mission with the more powerful United Nations Commission on Koreawhich was instructed to work for the unification of the country. TheCommission was further empowered to observe the withdrawal of bothRussian and American occupational forces from Korea. The Russiansagain refused to cooperate and denied the Commissions the right toobserve but did announce on 25 December 1948 that their forces hadbeen completely withdrawn. This claim proved substantially correctexcept that a rather large military mission had remained to train theNorth Koreans. The American withdrawal, which had already begunand which was subject to UN observers, was completed 29 June 1949except for 500 officers and men of the United States Military AdvisoryGroup.

One year later, almost to the day, American military forces returnedto Korea under somewhat different circumstances to participate infighting an aggressor whose depredations were to cost the United Statesover 20,000 casualties at the time this is being written with reportsstill adding to the list. The Americans returned to resist a viciousattack on the basic principles of the UN Charter and on the stepstaken by the United Nations in Korea up to that time. As PresidentTruman declared in his message to Congress on 19 July 1950: "If thischallenge -had not been met squarely, the effectiveness of the UnitedNations would have -been all but ended,' and the hope of mankindthat the United Nations would develop into an institution of worldorder would have been shattered." '

The significance of the communist aggression lies in the fact thatfor ,the first time the leaders of world communism resorted to openwarfare in the Cold War in an effort to realize their goals. Failure torespond ;by meeting force with force would only have been the signalfor other acts of aggression to -be committed elsewhere. By acting asit has, the free world has wrested the initiative away from those benton the destruction of freedom everywhere.:They are now on the defensivefor the first time and obviously they are most unhappy about the changewhich has taken place.

Now that the North Korean Army lias been crippled, althoughfurther sanguinary days are in prospect now that the Chinese Redshave entered the conflict, the free world, and especially the UnitedStates, faces another serious problem in the manner in which recon-struction in Korea is handled. But if the same courage and resolutenessis maintained in tackling these problems as was demonstrated in thefighting, where a high degree of cooperation was achieved, we mayfeel confident that Korea will be back on its feet and completely freefor the first time in over a generation.

THE TECH

Beaver Rugby TeamEnds Season With 6-3Victory Over McG;ll

An enthusiastic crowd of specta-tors came'out yesterday to watchthe Beavers beat McGill Universityon Briggs Field 6 to 3 in the lastrugby game of the season. It wasMcGill's first loss of the season.

Tech scored when early in thefirst half Hoffman converted apenalty against the Canadians tomrake an easy three points.

There was no further score in thefirst half of the game, but McGill,although playing with the wind,were hard pressed by the Tech for-wards. Much of the game wasplayed within reach of ,the Canad-ians try line, but dogged defensefoiled the Beaver attack. Thysbroke through once and almostscored.

Beavers Move Some of the best play was wit-

nessed in the first half when a longrun by Munck and Davidson, andthen a pass from Laxen to Frank-lin took the Beavers right down thefield. Finally a beautiful drop kickby Alan Munck just failed to clearthe posts.

The second half was marked onlyby hard forward play. Both packswere visibly flagged after a 40-minute first half, but still game. Itwas McGill's turn rto attack andduring one sortie on the Beaver25-yard line, Kent took possessionof a kick from Zimmerman, McGillcentre, and scored the first -touch-down of the game. Kelicher forMcGill failed of convert makingthe score 3 all.

Victorious By 19 PointsIn SophbFros Regatta

Lu a six-boat interclass regattaheld at the sailing pavilion last Sat-urday, the 'Sophs topped the Classof '54 by a nineteen point edge,winning handily 139-120. A strongbut Igusty wind, with occasionalcalms, added to the excitement, butno capsizings or breakdowns oc-curred. Disqualifications due, forthe most part, to the special teamracing rules cost both sides heavily.

The Sbphs swept the .field, notonly on totals, but on the resultsof the individual races as well, tak-ing first place in each of the threecontests. The men of '53 took thefirst race by a score of 44 to 38, asprotests cost boti teams points. Inthe second race, the first boat inwas from the frosh contingent, buta disqualification gave this race tothe Sophomores too. In the thirdattempt, the Sophsl swamped -thefrosh, who were badly hurt by dis_qualifications, by a 50-38 score.

Melaika High ManHigh point man or the entire re-

gatta was the Sophomore captain,Edward Melaika, with a score of 31points. Close behind was Sopho-more Jake Kerwin with 30 and DaveStern with 29. Other Sophomoreskippers were Gene Romer, HerbBrun, and Adam Bincer.

Freshman captain, Pete Felsen-thal, shared high point honors forhis squad. with teammate Klem,each totaling a score of 26 points.Other frosh skippers were Almquist,Lundquist, Rieman and Robertson.

In the Theta Chi-New Dorn Atilt, both teams seemed evenlymatched, giving each other a toughfight clear along the line. But thebreaks seemed to favor the ThetaChis, and gave them the extratouchdown.

The Theta Chis drew first bloodin the fi-st quarter writh a pass intothe end zone. Not to be outdone,the New Dorm imen crossed the goalline in the second half with a shortpass, and the game stood at 6-all.Then in the fourth quarter, a NewDorm fumble gave the Theta Chisthe ball on the 30-yard line. A passdown to the two and a line plungegave them their second touchdovm,and the game as well.
