representative from each of themajor or Class A activities.

It is not easy to ~define a Class Aactivity, but it may be said to beone which is of sufficient impor-tance to a large number of students.As an example, the M.I.T.A.A. andInterfraternity Conference are con-sidered Class A activitities, whereasindividual student professional so-cieties are typical of Class B status.

Heavy ScheduleAt present the Institute Comrmit-

tee is engaged in a number of tasks,the Red Cross Drive having justbeen completed, and the job of man-aging All-Tech Night at The Popsthis coming June. Aside from these,there are always routine matterssuch as approving elections madeby the various student organiza-tions.

The prime duty of the commit-tee this term, however, is to seethat activities get back on theirfeet, and to assist all in being of bet-

various issues which directly or in-directly influence approximately3000 persons. That group is theInstitute Committee, and the 3000persons represent the entire under-graduate student body here at Tech-nology.

The Institute Committee, or Inst.Comm. as it is generally referredto, is not merely a page in theM.I.T. Handbook, or a pseuo-studentgovernment organization. It is anactive legislative body that effec-tively regulates every major under-graduate activity at the Institute.To accomplish this purpose it isonly natural that the Committeeshould be a combination of all thestudent interests, thereby beingimpartial and just in its decisions.

Inst. Comm. RepresentativesThis wide range of representation

is reflected in the students makingup the Institute Committee. Thereare three representatives from eachundergraduate class, the Presidentof the Senior Class being Chairman

Greene DiscouragesNationalism; UrgesSupport U. N. O.

Nations can grow up if their dip-lomats, their newspapers, and theirpeople can grow up, concluded Pro-fessor William C. Greene, Depart-rnent of English and History, ina lecture sponsored by the LectureSeries Committee in Room 6-120 lastWednesday. Professor Greene's lec-ture on the subject "Can NationsGrow Ufp" ended on that hopefulnote, as he stated his belief thatwe have educated "just aboutenough" people to make world unity• possibility.

Using the title -of the lecture as• basis, Professor Greene analyzed,with occasional digressions, eachword and its meaning. The subjectof the sentence, "nations," wastreated first. What nationalism is,why it was originally justified, andwhether or not it is still justifiedtoday were the questions posed.

Professor Greene showed graphic-ally the relationship through dip-lomats, which has existed betweennations to date, and how it is nec-e~ssary, and possible through theUnited Nations Organization to re-verse their relationship and makeit one through the people them-selves.

The phrase "grow up" was nextexamined and defined. Immatu-rity, in persons or in nations, ischaracterized by certain traits. Pro-

Magounms LecturesTo Start Monday

Post-Marital ProblemsIs Topic Of Discussion

"In spring a young man's fancylightly turns to thoughts of love,"and so, on Monday, April 1, theI.,.A. will present Profeoi F. ii"x-ander Magoun in the first of hisspring series of lectures, "'In Prep-aration for Marriage," to be givenin Room 10-250 at 4:00 P.M. andagain at 5:00 P.M.

Whereas the -past semester's lec-tures dealt with the problems fac-ing young people before marriage,this series will present the difficul-ties facing couples after embarkingon the sometimes stormy sea ofmatrimony. There will be fourtalks this term to be given eachMonday, starting April 1.

Happiness and EmotionsProfessor Magoun explains that

"The thing that is at the bottom ofhappiness and of character is thedevelopment of emotions. The trou-ble is that in our civilization we'vebeen taught to repress them, or togive them a phoney, insincere out-let through too much jazz, too manycocktails, and too much superficialtalk. If we are to be haippy, wemust learn to express our emotionssincerely to understand them, andso to handle them intelligently."

Marital Bliss"Thus two people do not make a

failure of marriage by resenting itsbondage because they have sacri-ficed themselves for each other. Onthe contrary, they can spontane-ously create together an atmospherein which each can grow and de-velop far better than would be po}s-sible in any atmosphere he couldproduce by himself."

V.A. RepresentativesHandle Vets Problems

Representatives of the Train-ing Division, Veterans' Ad-ministration, will be present inRoom 2-131 on Mondays from2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M., on Tues-days from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00A.M. and on Thursdays from2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.

Editor, The TechWalker Memorial.

Dear Sir:

I am afraid that Mr. Robinsonin his discussion of the movementfor a "National Friendship withRussia Week" in last week's issuemisses the point entirely. He im-plies that this is one more signalthat "America is'unwilling to ful-fill its world commitments" andsuggests that to support our newforeign policy in the UJ.N.O. wouldbe a better policy. How these ideascan be read into the letter is be-yond my comprehension.

All this letter so ably says isthat we don't want war with Rus-sia, and that we are confident thatwe can solve our common prob-lems around a -conference table ina spirit of cooperation and friend-ship. The writer may not be awarethat there are small, strong, vocalelements in our population whowould have the rest of the world,especially Russia, -believe that theAmericans as a whole hold .to theopposite view. The purpose of thisletter is solely to make it knownto the rest of the world, by an over-whelming expression on the part

Letters to the Editor Fogarty Sells Out;Corners MarketOn Odds And EndsThe dorms this week seem to be

experiencing a general houseclean-ing. One fellow, .anyway, JackFogarty by name, is by all indica-tions trying to get rid of practic-ally everything he has in his room,and it might be well for Mr. Dow,the Manager of the dormitories, totake care that the fellow doesn'tsell his bed and wash basin.

Fogarty seems to be a person ofversatile avocation, because theitems he is selling include suchthings as a Spanish Guitar, a 100power telescope, a biology kit, anda 21, oscilloscope. One of his listsis headed, "I am giving up c~hem-istry." Jack, does the Instituteknow about this? This list coverseverything that the handy-dandylittle chemistry set offers and more,and we understand they are goingat bargain basement~prices.

Naturally this quantity of mate-riel that is being sold has causeda certain amount of conjecturingamong dorm residents as to why,

LECTURE SERIESIn the summer of 1944 there was active at the Institute

a Class A Activity which called itself the Lecture Series Com-mittee. Their purpose was to bring before Technology, prob-lems of national interest and to try and broaden the averageTechman's sense of national affairs. The only speaker that everpresented a talk under the auspices of this Committee wasLeverett J. Saltonstall, then Governor of Massachusetts. Some-how or other the Committee then just seemed to fold up anddie a premature death.

Towards the end of last term, however, a group of thinkingstudents at the Institute, composed mostly of dormitory resi-dents, decided that perhaps a revival of the defunct Committeewould be in order now that the problems of peace, atomiccontrol, etc., are staring everyone in the face.

On Wednesday the revitalized Committee presented theirfirst speaker, Professor William C. Greene of the Departmentof English and History, who gave a talk titled "Can NationsGrow Up?'" We hope that history won't repeat itself andthat we will hear more of this Committee. A forum or roundtable discussion such as that presented by the T.C.A. last winteron the Atomic Bomb would provide a great deal of interest,and, if that discussion is any indication, draw large audiences.

It would do well for the Committee to go beyond theInstitute for some of its lecturers, although there is a wrealthof material within our walls, as was evidenced by ProfessorGreene's excellent dissertation. No matter how we try tosidestep the fact, however, a well-known name is an importantdrawing card, and if this Committee were successful in bringingbefore the student body eminent talkers, it will have accom-plished a great deal as a student-run activity.

Don't scoff at the idea, either. Students at the RensselaerPolytechnic Institute have organized just such a Committee,and such men as Eric Johnston, President of the United StatesChamber of Commerce, have been numbered among theirspeakers.

DEADWOOD

The Institute Committee, at yesterday's meeting, sched-uled reports from the Combined Professional Societies, theStudent Faculty Committee, and the Veterans Association forthe next month. The first two of these, at least, hold thedistinction of being the least known of the, in general, littleknown groups on the campus commonly called student activi-ties. In the case of the Student Faculty Committee this isaltogether by design as it has been felt, wisely or not, thatrough spots in the relations of students and staff are best dis-posed of in the shadows of obscurity.

The C.P.S., however, was formed to foster and promotethe individual professional societies and to encourage coopera-tion between them. Just how this is to be accomplished is,and -has been, rather vague. All this has been in the past,naturally. New men are now in charge, the war is over, thingsare looking better, and so on. This must not and will notbe overlooked.

To get to the point, at last-these activities and otherslike them, unknown or not, carry to one not familiar withthe intimate details, a certain amount of prestige and if wemay be permitted the expression, of honor. Chairman of this,that or the other, looks good after your name in Technique.In reality, of course, it doesn't mean a thing.

Let's get away fro'm this sort of thing. Cut the deadwoodand concentrate effort in the limbs that are functioning.

Charles River BasinnSuccumbs To DinghiesAs Sailors Practice

Next Monday, April 1, sailing willofficially begin at the Institute forthose who have their sailing cards.The past few days have served asa reassurance that spring is heresince many of the sailors from lastyear's team have been out on theriver getting some practice for thecoming season which is quite a fullone.

The 1946 spring schedule, whichat present contains 34 differentevents, is the most comprehensiveyet attempted by the Inter-Col-legiate Yacht Racing Association.It represents an endeavor to carryout the Executive Committee policyof providing as much competitionas possible for all hands, and espe-cially for those colleges which lackracing facilities of their own orarrangements with nearby colleges.

The sailing team has its first re-gatta April 6 with Navy in 14-footdinghies, on the Severn River. Itwill be the first meet for Navy andTech and the outcome cannot bepredicted since neither team hashad much practice as yet. The firsthome meet in which the Techdinghies will take part will be April13 in a Pentagonal Regatta betweenTechnology, Harvard, Holy Cross,Northeastern and Tufts, with 12-foot dinghies.

Joe Levis, AceFencer, ReturnsTo Coach- Team

Plans Much TrainingTo Put Prepared TeamInto Field Next YearCoach Joe Levis is back at Tech

after a three-year seperation fromhis favorite sport, fencing. Thenewly organized squad of 25 sopho-mores, freshmen and veteran sword-men has resumed the ancient formof exercise outmoded by warfare.Interest and enthusiasm are run-ning exceptionally high as practic-ally the entire Tecth undergraduatesquad is starting from scratch. Thesquad has been taking lessons sinceearly January, and Coach Levis isgoing to keep them strictly on les-sons and exercise for a while andforbids dueling for at least anothermonth for all except two or threewho have made rapid progress.

It is said that men of Italian an-cestry, like Levis, take as naturallyto f encing as ducks to water. It isvery likely that Levis is the veryimpetus that has put Tech fencingon its feet this year. Levis, a Tech=graduate of 1926, captain of theTech D'Artagnans, and Intercolle-giate Foils-champion, since grad-u-ation he has walked off with fivenational chamnpionships and dueto his position as outstanding Amer-^ican f encer he was rewarded withthe captaincy of the 1936 OlympicTeam. Levis joined the professionalranks in 1939 by taking the Techcoaching berth.

Fencing Is Different"Fencing is different than gym-

nastics, tennis, rowing and othersports because the teacher can'tstand on the sidelines and get hisideas across, asserts Levis. "ifemust get in there and exercise withthe promising youngsters and tryto bring out their latent talents."

Levis maintains that it takes aminimum of six or seven years todevelopa~gbAm. fencer. The art oflunge and parry is an extremely in-tricate one. At Tech where most ofthe teaan Members are novices, theperiod of training must be cut downto two years or else.

Manly outstanding NewcomersOutstanding among the Engineer

fencers this year is Mario Ubatiwho possesses exceptional naturalqualities and holds a great future.Harold C. Bjerke, a Norwegianfencer is also very excellent mate-rial. He is very aggressive and fastand possesses the characteristics ofan A-1 swordsman. John Weil, oultfor the first time, is making excel-'lent headway in Epee.

At present there exists a wealthof graduate fencers who have re-turned to help out the new squad.Those (providing inlstruction besidesLevis are Bob Gooding, class '42sU.S. Naval Academy, captain of the1942 Sabre team. Vince De Pois,'39,T U. S.TNaval Aca~demy Intrerl-legiate foils champion 1939. (In-cidentally the referee in the matchat New York that gave De Pois hischampionship was our own fencingcoach, Joe Levis.) Bob Sweek '42,W. S. Naval Academy was the num-ber one Epee man of the Navy Teamthat year.

Paratroop Hero InstructingCombined with skill and speed,

courage is essential to the successof the team. At the present timethe team is honored with the ableinstruction of Tech's graduatefencer, Bill Kellog, '42, second WorldWar parachute hero and recipientof many war medals for heroismand decorations in Holland, Bel-gium and Russia.

Lacrosse Team ToWage First BattleWith Boston Team

Teams Will Meet OnBriggs Field SaturdayNo Admission Charged

Under a new coach, the TechLacrosse team will meet its first op-position this Saturday on BriggsField facing an older and more ex-perienced team. Coach Martin hopesto find exactly how strong the team

Iis at the present time. The BostonLacrosse consists chiefly of returnedveterans who wish to resume theold tough and rugged game. Be-sidles these veterans there are alarge number of former College var-sity players from Harvard, Prince-ton, and Colgate.

With only a few men remainingfrom last year's team, Coach Martinhopes to mold a team that will beable to hold its own in intercolle-giate competition.

Professor Green(Continued from Page 1)

fessor Greene's analysis showedthem to be egoism, backed by fight-ing when necessary to satisfy theegoism; exclusiveness, or a tendencyto band together with little concernas to its effect on others; the useof emotions rather than reasoningin making decisions; and a lack ofwhat can only be described as 11gen-tlemanliness," or a courteous atti-tude towards the other fellow.These are the traits which must beeliminated in both men and nationsbefore they can be considered"grown up."1

The question of "can" is the cruxof the matter, and it was on thisword that Professor Greene con-cluded his remarks. A vigorous dis-cusivzin of Unritedl States- foreign ponl-

icy and the world situation, a strolfgsupport of the UNO, and an equallystrong rebuke of newspapers ingeneral and certain ones in partic-ular, led to the conclusion that wemust, through education, grow up,and as we grow up, so will ournations. A question period followed.

The next lecture in the serieswill be held on Thursday, April 18.Professor D. J. Struik of the MuathDepartment will speak on the sub-ject, "What Can We Expect fromthe Soviet Union."

Contrary to the erroneous reportprinted in the last issue of TheTech, the Lecture Series Committeeis an independent organization inno way connected with the T.C.A.

As for what good this may do-,I have the feeling that the casting,out of any unwarranted fear of us.by the Russians (we have theatomic -bomb, you know) can do

;more to create a healthy atmos-.phere for -the settlement of ourcommon problems than -any othermethod known.

I would like to have any and allwho see in this movement whatI see in it (and not more) endorse

As

Walker Memorial.stumped for presents for yourmother's-in-law birthday, we areprinting the following list to helpyou out, 20,0 broken ink bottles, 8boxes of used KLEENEX, assortedcollection of iron filings, limitednumber of used valentines, trigono-metry books-missing pages, smallamount of doorknobs, 2 blue sweat-ers without necks, 1 dozen brokenpencils, 4 pounds of chicken feath-ers, tap water-unlimited supply, 1 1/2pairs of soleless shoes, large pile ofbroken window panes, 3 used eras-ers, 4 old tooth brushes, 1/2 pound ofheadless nails, one closet lock fromHayden 312, and a doorknob fromHayden 503.

This list doesn't appear to be con-sistent with the others, and we be-lieve that it is possible that some-one is kidding Jack to stir up moretrade than he can handle. Betterwatch it, Jack. Don't let 'em getaway with it.

Dear Sir:We read with interest your re-

port on "Elections Statistics, butfind a slight discrepancy in yourcomputations. A grand total of 117ballots were cast out of the 690 de-livered to Dorm residents which,on your slide rule, comes out to a"cool 16.5%". We first checked yourcomputation on our pocket-sizeslide rule, but getting a differentreSult, we tu r n e d to our faith-ful Log-Duplex Decitrig. Still indisagreement, we went to Buring-ton's log tables, worked it out bylong division, and finally in despair,resorted to the Associate Tutors'slide rule. Using all -these mnethodswe came outlto a "hot" 16.96%t.

We understand that the Coopcarries an excellent manual on howto operate a slide rule.

Respectfully yours,Helmut Onusseit, 2-48,Norman W. Stewarts 10-47,Donald H. Archer, 2-48.
