In the Institute CoPmmittees fairst

meeting of this term, David G.

Black, newly elected president ofthe classes o'f 6-46, 9-46, and of the

Institute Committee, took over thereins of chairman, ~following hisapproval, from P~eter IL. Raiichmsan,9-46, vice-president, -to conduct the

remainder of the meeting.After the roll call, which showed

James Burns,,2-47, Paul Re. Krasner,

2-48, and Robert B. Truitt, 2-48, alb-

sent, a motion tabled last week, wasbrought up, which states that "inncase there is only one nomination

by a O~ass for Institute CommitteeRepresentative in an elecltion, theclass be allowed -to send only oneInstitute Committee Representa-

tive until the next regular classelection." After consideravble dis-

cussion, this motion was defeated.The next item on the agenda -was

a motion asking that "any group ofstudents numberirng over 1003, vhoare to graduate at the salie time,shall have a full complement ofofficers and two Institute Cox~mmi~t-tee Represent~atives. Any smallergroup, but over 50 in number, shmallhave one Institute Comnmittee R~iep-resentatives, but no officers." Itwas -decided ~by the 'Cmmittee thatthis issue--cou~ld~·not, be -definzitelydecided as there was insufficientevidence as to the forthcomingschedules and enarollments. Thelmotion, therefore, was tabled forabout six weeks, until such infor-malticn could be obtained.

Red C=ross CommitteeA commnitte to take charge of the

Red Cross Drive, soon to start atthe Institute, was brought up andpassed. The committee is to con-sist of David 0. Black, Philip D.Jones, Stuart G. Farnumn, all of6-46, and four others to be chosen from the Institute C~ommittee.

It was decided that a committeebe formed Ito take charge of All-Tech Night at the 'TPops" this sea-son. There was some discussionas to the date on which this eventshould Ibe held and it was tenta-tively set for June 1.

Another approvement broughzt tothe attention of the Commrittee was A'that of the appointment of JohnE. Taft, made Iby the officers of hisclass, as Institute Commaittee ]Rep-resentative for the comb~inedclasses of 6-46 and 9-46. This mo-tion was readily approved.

It has often Ibeen asked why girlswould want to come to a Tech-nological school like the Institute,where social life, so essential to ayoung woman's happiness, is prac-tically nil, and where hard work.s the prime worry of all concerned.We decided to get to the bottomof the mystery this week, and oneof the first things we asked ourSpotlight personality, Virginia Fer-guson, was why she chose Tech-riology. Well, it looks as if the mys-tery will have to remain unsolved.for Ginny herself can give no rea-son.

A third-year student in Course V,Virginia, stoutly maintains that sheis not sorry that she made thischoice, though she candidly ad-mits that she sometimes wondersabout it herself. A local girl, Ginnywas born on January 8, 1927 (shehad no womanly qualms about re-vealing her age), in Lexington,from where she commutes daily toschool. The extent of her -travelsis no more than a few trips up toMaine in past summers. She hasan abhorrence of travelling, thoughshe would like to see places. Thisparadox is simply explained bythe fact that she dislikes the actualprocess of going from one place toanother. Perhaps a gallant Course

MI man will design Ginny a magiccarpet that will transport her fromcountry to country in the twinklingof an eye, so that she won't haveto bother with train and boat res-ervations, and all the other pettydisturbances that accompany atrip.

Unlike many of her fellow CheneyRoom compatriots, Virginia hastaken a phenomenal interest inextra-curricular activities. She nowheads the Walker Memorial Com-mittee, the first time in Technol-ogy's history that a co-ed has be-come Chairman of a Class A activ-ity. She is also a member in goodstanding of the Assooiation ofWomen Students, and recently re-signed her position as mem-ber ofthe Budget committee. The Techcarries her name on the mastheadunder the Editorial Boards and shebrazenly admits to being a one-time

member of the Voo D~oo staff, butthat was only for two weeks, anda long time ago, so we'll forgiveher.

About her later life, Virginia wasrather vague. She would like towork in a research lab, after receiv-ing her degree, rather than teach.She hasn't the faintest idea whenor whom she is going to marry, butshe quite definitely dislies theidea of becoming an old maid, al-though she says that when shemarries, she wants very few chil-dren.

Ginny is the out-doors girl type,and takes quite an interest in ath-letics. She played field hockey andtennis in high school, and enjoysswimming. She also roots for herhome-town baseball teams, whichshe apologetically says aren't anygood.

An unusual idiosyncrasy that shelays claim to is that she hates tohave her picture taken. She doesn'tlook too unhappy about it in ourcut, however.

Virginia likes to read moderately,but only light novels-she doesn'tlike this deep classic stuff. Text-books, of course, are a matter ofnecessity. She also enjoys lightmovies and radio programs.

We also wish to bring attention to the fact that the Gradu-ate House cafeteria, recently reopened, from all indicationsis offering meals far superior in cost, variety, and quality undermuch the same operating conditions.

The Walker management has taken a large step towardbringing the most satisfactory conditions, but there is definitelyroom for larger steps, and it would- be a sore disappointmentif they failed in fulfilling all their promises which they madeafter the Institute Committee report was released.

LET'S GIVE AGAINAt this time every year the American Red Cross conducts

its annual membership drive. During the war it was obviousto everyone that the Red Cross had shouldered a large burdenand needed the support of all of us to carry out its tasks. Nowthat the conflict is ended we are -apt to forget that the workof the Red Cross still goes on. Its tasks, unlike those of manyother agencies, did not cease with the surrender of Japan.

This is the first peacetime drive that the Red Cross hasstaged in four years, but in many ways it is unlike previouspeacetime drives. This year, in addition to its normal functions,the Red Cross still has to bear the weight of its wartime servicesto our armed forces. It still maintains facilities for our troopsoverseas as well as the services for personnel stationed in thiscountry, as well as its normal relief facilities so familiar to us all.

In addition we m~ust remember the millions of unfortunateshelped by the Red Cross each year throughout this country.

ROOM FOR MOREThose of you who returned on Registration Dayto eat

your first meal of the term at Walker were probably startledon first seeing the changes now in effect at the evening repast.Every table is covered with a gaily-colored runner, food isserved on chinaware, and covers are available so that the maincourse may be kept warm while the soup or fruit juice is beingconsumed. Set off on the west side of the hall is a table witha samovar, flanked by two candles, for serving demitasse at thecompletion of the meal. And to top it all off, one no longerhas to return his tray to the break-down table, for now thewhite-coated student staff members eagerly remove the dirtyplates and trays from the tables All this makes for an atmos-phere of pleasant congeniality while eating, and we are surethat the patrons of Walker Dining Service are grateful to themanagement for these improvements. The change is quiteremarkable, and undoubtedly has aroused many favorable com-ments. ._11_.C.l

But don't you think we are having the wool pulled over oureyes just a little? These changes are almost comparable toa bribe to forget about the most important item of the mal-the food. Of course, it is now being served a little warmerthan it was on the old G.I. trays, but it is still the same food.The prices of the individual plates, furthermore, have not beendecreased one whit, although the complete dinners offered atnight have been decreased by 5 or 10 cents below their totalcost, item by itemn. 'We offer as evidence the two menus printedbelow, one taken before the Institute Committee report wasreleased., and one after. 'We ask you to notice the close simi-larity between the dishes, and most important of all, betweenthe prices, yet the latter menu was prepared more than a monthafter the report was released.

Collection Of Used BooksFor Chinese Schools Starts

The war-ravaged universities ofChina which have carried on theirwork under enormous handicaps,are now turning to the task ofrebuilding their resources. Theirgreatest loss was in the destruc-tion of most of their libraries with-out which the Chinese institutionscannot hope to make effectivestrides toward the necessary educa.tional standards.

StudPents and members of -thefaculties of American educationalinstitutions are now joining in adrive to help re-establish the Chin.ese university libraries. Urgentlyneeded are the classics, text booksin every professional field, as wellas scientific journals publishedwithin the past ten years.

,,The collection of books at theInstitute is being carried on by acommittee headed by Mrs. HoraceS. Ford. Students and members ofthe staff are urged to contributeany books they can spare. Theymay be left at the InformationOfflce, Room 7-111. The drive willcontinue through April 8.

first practice session at Briggs

the fact that no positions atpresent are definite. For thefirst few weeks, practice islimited to track work and stick

By Dave H~erwitz

As the spring athletic season getsunder way with the lacrosse, crew,and outdoor track squads alreadyin training, it will be interestingto note how much support thesegames will get from the returningveterans. With the all but totalpassing off the V-1-2 from the sceneat Tech, coaches can no longerlook toward the graduate housefor the bulk of their athletes. Mostof the fine records which some ofthe teams garnered during thewar years were due in great partto the Navy -men. In the past yearalorne, for example, it was S~onna-bend and Pierce who led thesquash team thru a great season,Meduski and Wellard who helpedmake the lacrosse victories, andBuckman and Ray who helpedkeep the swimming team on top.This list is far from complete. Butit will suffice to make this pointclear; the returning servicemen,including the many transfers fromother schools, must pick up theathletic reins here at Tech.

There will be a definite area of-confliot, however. There can be nodoubt that the majority of the vet-erans are returning more athletic-minded than when they left. Butat the same Stime many of thesemen are anxious to complete theirwork as rapidly as possible, andthey are therefore -taking scholas-tic overloads at the expense of par-ticipation in athletics. This is aquestion which only each man isqualified to answer for himself.We can only suggest that anyonethat finds it at all possible shouldtake advantage of the opportunityto participate in intercollegiate ath-letics. I

But . .. and this is an importantIpoint . .. the responsibility for pro-

Bridin these opportunities has fora long time been in ithe hands ofa group which does not appear tobe at all convinced of its impor-tance. It is high time now thatwe dispelled the myth that athle-tics should have only a small in-auspicious place at an engineeringschool, that technical students forthe most part are disinterested.This is by no means the case. Suchfine institutions as Carnegie Techand Georgia Tech have had enthu-siastic response for 'years. AtM.I.T., however, the policy appearsto be virtual discouragement ofsuch potential response. We need

Last Saturday night, the TechIndoor Track. Mile Team stormedin to capture a second place inthe Mile Relay at the Knights ofColumbus Indoor Track Meet inMadison Square Garden. Techplaced second to N.Y.U., who holdsthe Intercollegiate Mile Relay title.Following Tech came Rhode Islandand Villanova College, claiming athird and fourth respectively.

Championships~0 Held7 New, EnglandColleges HaveEntered Teams

Trials Scheduled ToBegin At 2:30 Sharp,Finals Start At 8:00

The Championship swimmingmeet this year will bring the topcollegiate swimmers and divers

from the New England collegeswho are almost sure to break boththe existing Pool and NEISA rec-ords from -the basis of the season'sperformances. The Meeg will, -bheld at the Alumni Pool Saturday,March 16. Trials and finals will be

held at 2:30 and 8:00 respectively.Since all the entries are now in,

it is interesting to note where theshow of strength will be in thedifferent events, subject of course,to the results of the several meet.ings held at noon Saturday, when

the final entries are determined.

In the 300 yard Medley Relay,Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, Conn.'State, M.I.T. and Trinity willundoubtedly be in the finals.

220 Freestyle HighlightThe 220 freestyle with Ball of

Amherst, Pidgeon of Bowdoin, Car-son of Brown, Stone of Wesleyan,Maclay of Williams (present holderof Pool and NEISA records) andTyler of Trinity should prove a veryinteresting furlong.

It would be difficult, indeed, totry to predict the 50 yard freestyleresults with such entries as :Ballof Amherst, Briesem>eister, Jenkinsof Connecticut State, Bacon oiWilliams and Tyler of Trinity.

The diving event promises to bea fine exhibition. As an individualevent with nlo set standard of com-parison, it is more difficult to makreany predictions concerning it thanconcerning the races.

Bacon, Tyler In 100Also in the 100-yard freestyle

there should be plenty of excite-ment and close to record time,with the closest contenders beingBacon of Williams and Tyler ofTrinity.

One of the special races, the 150-yard backstroke, will see Sheridanof Amherst, Callahan ofr Brown,Jenkins of -Connecticut, Danna ofM.I.T. and Cosgrove of Wesleyanin what should be a close race,although probably not approachingrecord time.

M.I.T. will certainly miss nothaving Captain Buchman, now anensign stationed at Newport, R. I.,in the 200-yard breaststroke. Sincehe was undefated in this event indual competition it is certain thathe would be a sure place winnerin this meet.

Trackmen Place Crew CommencesTo Work-Out OlnIce-Laden River

First Home CollegiateMeet Scheduled For May4, Line-Up Undecided

With the breaking of the ice onthe Charles the crews have at lastforsaken the rowing machines tosally forth on th turpid waters.Last Thursday the heavies success-fully navigated their frail craftamong the remaining ice floes andon Saturday, the river being com-pletely clear, the lights were giventheir first workout in the boats.

This year, for the first time since1943, Tech has been able to as-

semble sufficient men of the properweight to put a light boat on theriver. This season's light crew,however, is for -the most part madeup of green men, wlich will putthem at a disadvantage with someof their opponents who have largenumbers of last season's rowers re-turning this year.

For only a week's practice on theriver the heavy boats have shownconsiderable improvement. Thisseason Tech is fortunate in havingseveral returned veterans who prev-iously rowed for the red and grey.Among these are Banks, Tilden, andBow en. It was Al Bowen whostroked to victory over Harvard thevarsity boat of 1943, the first Techheavy boat to down the Crimsonin the history of the contest be-tween the two schools. In additionto the above mentioned veteransone member of last season's varsity,Captain John Taft is again rowingthis year.

First Race On May 4The heavies meet their first op-

ponent on May fourth but as yet itis too early to state the makeup ofthe boat which will row in this con-test. As in the case of the light boatthe heavies will come up againstopponents whose squads are wellbolstered by returniing crewmen.

Coach McMillan has again reiter-ated his pleas for new candidatesfor crew. Especially needed are menin the 150-pound class for the lightboats and men of about 120 poundsto serve as coxswains.

The following are tentative list-ings of the light and heavy boats.The assignments to individual boats

Kiley, Education Div.Chief, Talks To Assoc.

"Future meetings of the studentVeterans' Association at Technol-ogy will be less formal and will befor the purpose of planning socialfunctions," said Paul R. Krasner,2-48, president of this group. "Wehave had two general meetings towelcome veterans and to give theminformation in which they mightbe interested."

Krasner revealed this informa-tion following an address in Hun-tington Hall last night by Mr. Har-old C. Kiley, chief of education andrehabilitation, Boston office, divi-sion of the Veterans Administra-tion. Mr. Kiley talked on the ad-mzinistrative problems of his officeand answered many questions forthe veterans.

Expanding on his ideas of futureplans, Krasner stated that he hadappointed William H. Ayer, 2-48,to conduct a survey among mem-bers of the association in order toascertain what kind of parties theywish to hold. To this end, Ayerstated that he is preparing a ques-tionnaire which will be mailed toall members of the association.Suggested social functions are aget-acquainted dance, a tea to beheld for married veterans, and alsoan informal beer party.

The social functions-will be openonly to members of the studentVeterans Association. Eligible menwho have not yet j oin'ed may doso by coming to Hayden 414, Runkle2,04, or Holman 301, in the Dor-mitories.

Sports Flashes(Continued fromn Page 3)

not here present again the well-known and well-verifl'ed case forcollege athletics. Instead we sug-gaest that in fairness to the studentbody some steps~be taken to securedirectors who are conscious of theneed of promoting sports in thispost-war period. Perhaps in timethe granting of locker privilegesto varsity candidates would nolonger be considered subsidization.Further, perhaps letters would beawarded to all who have earnedthema rather than to tile chancefew who happen to 'fall within anancient classification scheme with-out rhymne or reason.

In the future, therefore, suchtime-honored cliches as "lack oftime" will no longer suffice. In-stead positive action should be thepolicy. Let the A. A. really sponsorand encourage a wider variety ofsports, while the incumbent au-thorities check the actual response.We'll wager more than a few peon

~ple may be surprised.
