Harvard,Chicago among coJleges given urban Funds As part of a long range program to develop major new intellectual resources for work on the prob- lems of American cities, the Ford Foundation has made grants of $10.8 million to four major US uni- versities for work in urban affairs. MIT will receive $3 million and implement several unique pro- grams. At a joint press conference held at fHavard's Holyoke Center, MIT President Howard Johnson, Har- vard President Nathan Pusey, and Daniel Hoynihan, Director of the Joint Center for Urban Studies made an announcement of the grants. Along with Harvard, the University of Chicago received $3 million, and Columbia University was given $1.8 million. A quantum change Although the universities in- volved have long been interested in urban affairs, these new grants will allow, in the words of Mr. Moynihan, "a quantum change in the level of activity in this field." MIT will use its share of the grant to enable broad participa- tion in the study of urban prob- lems by individuals and groups from the fields of architecture, city planning, enginering, econom- ics, political science, and manage- ment.

The TCA-sponsored StudentC(harities Drive will be held thisyear from next Tuesday throughFriday. Contributions will be ac-cepted by living group represen-tatives as well as at the booth inBuilding 10; the u-,,i- I bedonated the charity of thedonor's choice. Otherwise, TCA

will distribute the undesignated

funds among this year's three re-commended charities: the. Greater

Boston United Fund; CaWe, Inc.;

and the World University Service.

The World University Service is,

a charity that is relatively un-

kmown to MIT students. Its pur-

pose Ls to aid college students

living and working in poverty, ill

health, and with a lack of facili-ties. These conditions are some-

times so extreme that they are

completely alien to the Americanconception of university life.

WUS is being pushed, in thehope that students in poorer na-tions will receive the help theyneed to acquire new dorms, cafe-terias, libraries, scholarships,health programs, and that WUSwill serve to promote intemnation-al cooperation and goodwill.

The opening day of the prelim-inary- session of the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology wasFebruary 20, 1865. On that day,

u-w President Rogers entered the fol-Lu lowing statement in his diary:I "Organized the School! Fifteen

students entered. May this notprove a memorable day!"

By today's standards, the cir-cumstances that attended theschool's opening may have beena bit less than memorable. Thefaculty, for instance, comprisedsix members, including Rogershimself. The students themselveswere only 15 strong on te& firstday of 'class, though the numberrose quickly to 23 as late applica-tions were accepted. There was,at least, an impressive stldent-faculty ratio.

Early curriculamThe curriculum was also mod-

est. It consisted of mathematicstaught by J. D. Runkle, physicsby Rogers himself, chemistry byFrancis Storer, civil constructionby William Watson, French byFerdinand Blocher, and forehanddrawing, instructed by W. T. Carl-ton.

The admission requirementswere basically a prior knowledgeof the following subjects: arith-metic, algebra, plane geometry,English grammar, geography, andthe radiments of French. The pre-liminary session was intended tomake up deficiencies in these sub-jects, and to enable more exper-ienced scholars to embark on asecond year curriculum.

Noteworthy teaei stadfThough small, the first student

body and reaching staff was boththen and later noteworthy.

Professor RunMe, head of thedepartment of mathematics, wasto hold that position until hisdeath in 1. He also served M1Tin the capacities of Acting. Pres-ident and President from B&I to1878. Runkle was a self-educatedNew York farm boy who'went onto receive his SB from Harvard'sLawrence Scientific School in1851. From the very begiming he

was a staunch supporter of Wil-liarrm Rogers and of the Institute.He became knowm to generationsof MIr students as "UncleJohnny. "

William Watson, Professor ofMechanical Engineering, came tothe Institute from a lecturing po-sition at Harvard. He was himselfa Harvard graduate of 1857, anddistinguished himself by being thefirst in Arnerica to introduce themodeling of structures in plasterfor experimental purposes. Professors Storer and Blocherachieved distinction through theproduction of outstanding texts inchemistry and French respec-tively.

Probemns of rban ffair challenge nttt(Continued from Page 1)

The vast majority of work on the prob-

!ers of the cities have been carried on

as interdisciplinary projects. Major ef-

forts have been put forth by members

of the Departments of Civil Engineering,

Civil and Regional Planning, Eomnonics,

Management, and Political Science.

'Glideway,' 'Metran'

Relying on computers fo sort moun-

tains of data, the Dept. of Civil Engineer-

ing has made important studies of trans-

portation, traffic control, highway safety,

and novel structural designs. Interde-

partmnental projects such as 'Glideway,"

a high speed ground transportation sys-

tem for 1990; and "Central City Module,"

the design of a new kind of urban envir-

onment, are examples of MrT's contribu-

tion to solutions of the dilemmas of the

city.Long pamning

The programs to receive funds from this

new Ford Foundation grant have been

long in the planning stages. President

Howard Johnson, 'in an address to theL967 Alumni Seminar entitled "The Mean-ings of the City for lMIT," spoke aboutan Urban Systems Laboratory, and theprogram of Fellows in Urban Affairs. Inthe same speech he alluded to estab-lishment of endowed chairs in the field,and announced the appointment of BostonMayor John Collins to the faculty.

Accordirng to Johnson, the city has spe-cial meaning to MIT. It is "our homd, '"

and represents "the completeness and

diversity of life." "We have a lot to learn

from the city about the cexstence and

the cornplementarity of disparate ele-

ments, as we come in closer contact with

problems and as we become more in-

-:olved in urban affairs." The challenge

that M1T faces is to maJl moaern tech-

nology serve fihe needs of the city.

Unleash energies

The Ford grant will allow IMIT's parti-

cipation in urban affairs to reach new

I4/e need to channef

Due to its special strengths in engineer-ing, planning and management, MIIT ishighly suited for specific contributions tothe affairs of the city. 'There are prob-lems of urban life for which purely tech-nological solutions exist: pollution control,waste disposal, etc. The answers to theseproblems are within the technical capabil-ities of industry, and the university, but

no effective market place has been de-veloped for such services."

Market plaoeThe University could act as this market

place, interpreting technical know-how and

level of performance. It will permit the

school, in the word of President Johnson,

"to take some action that will unleash

the energies of this institution in ways

that will benefit the city and will allow

the reverse of this process, i.e., that the

energies and vitality of the urban pro-

cess can be captured and adapted to our

academic climate, to enhance the intellec-

tuai product of this university."

LOBI oin,

correlating it to the needs of the urbancenters. Dr. Johnson stated in his Alum-ni Seminar address: "Analytical studiesand a vast network of communicationon urban affairs-urban systems labora-tories and urban information banks--areneeded to be established by universities ineach metopaitan area.

We propose to begin such a laboratory

at MAIT and we are already underway

with several aspects of information

gathering and analysis."

Further areas

The Institute has also made a decision

to research those areas of urban affairs

where technology is not developed, such

as public housing, education and local

fin 1,ce. To insure a path of communica-

tion between the city and the university to

aid in the study of these non-technical

problems, it is "a necessary condition that

leading thinkers and actors must be

brought together and, in many instances,must interchange their roles to test andsecure the validity of approach and prac-Utce."

This declaration of President Johnsonforms the basis for the other two projectsto be funded by the Ford Foundationgrant. In order to infuse the actors intothe academic world, the Institute will en-dow chairs in urban affairs, and bring theleaders of the cities to MIT to lecture,teach, and participate in the research.

The third element of the program of ur-ban involvement will allow the bright andinterested young people, the leaders of thecities of tomorrow, to participate and lenda hand in the management of the citiesof today. Under the Fellows in Urban Af-fairs porgarm, graduates will be ableto serve on the staffs of urban officials,and bring the spirit of intellectual curios-tiy into harmony with pragmatism involv-ed in running a metropolis.

'Hell is a city'

To requote Dr. Johnson: "150 yearsago Shelly said, 'Hell is a city, muchlike London-populous and smokey.'"

1IT has made the decision that UrbanAmerica can and must be better LhanShelly's London.

Tech samaritansTo the Editor:

-o I, along with a few thousandother fools, had the misfortune

- to be in (I hesitate to say "driv-> ing") our cars the night of Novem-u ber 15. There were four alterna-2 tives: 1) abandoning the car;C) 2) crying; 3) laughing; and 4)W developing an ulcer. I attempted

the third and probably achieved>2 the fourth.a \,What kept the evening just shortE_ of total anarchy was the behavior

of groups of Tech students nearthe Mass. Ave. Bridge. For somereason best known to themselves.

- they were directing traffic, hand-3 ing out cups of hot coffee, and in

-- general making an effort to con-u, trol the uncontrollable.I- I will not debase these students

by trying to generalize on theiratcions that night. What they didwas beautiful, and that ought tosuffice.

YAF petitionTo the Editor:

Part of MIT YAF's effort indemonstrating support for DowChemical recruitment on campuswas to circulate a petition callingon the administration "to continuethe long-standing policy of permit-ting all employers who seek tohire MIT students to recruit oncampus."

This petition, with over 500 sig-

(Continured from Page 2)

Among the first students we find namessuch as Forbes, Stone, Stevens and Til-den which became known in Americanindustry a, decade later. Joseph W. Re-vere, grandson of silversmith Paul Re-vere, and Samuel Cabot, Jr., whose fa-ther had been a firm supporter. of Rog-ers were also students. The latter's broth-er, Godfrey Cabot '81 became, in the1950's, the oldest active life member ofthe Corporation.

Another early studentAnother of the members of that first

class was Robert H. Richards. He re-turned to the Institute immediately aftergraduation in 1868 to become the firstalumnus to teach at MT. In two yearshe became an assistant professor, andlater head of the department of miningand metallurgy. It is largely because ofhis reminiscences that much is knownabout those early days when classes meton the second floor of Boston's Mercan-tile Library building.

Need for instructorsAt the completion of the first prelim-

inary session, it became clear that moreinstructors had to be acquired. Amongthose who came to MIT at this time,were William R. Ware, Professor ofArchitecture and later head of the de-partment at Columbia University, anda young professor of Analytical Chem-istry named Charles W. Eliot. He waslater to become President of HarvardUniversity.

Tuition for the first full year was $100.The first two years of the curriculumwere standardized. Of the original 23 whoattended the preliminary session, 10 en-tered fhe first year program, 11 the sec-ond year, and two did not return. The

natures was presented to Mr.Constantine Simonides, assistant toPresident Johnson. Manpower lim-itations kept us from presentingthe petition to more than a frac-tion of the student body. Moreexhaustive coverage of a fewselected areas resulted in 94% ofone floor (40 people) in Burtonand over 75% of two fraternitiessigning the petition. I believe thisgraphically demonstrates our con-tention - the MIT Student Bodywants Dowv Chemical and othercompanies having governmentcontracts, to continue to be repre-sented on campus.

Sound of poetryTo the Editor:

Your article on poetry readingsat Mrf' was most welcome andlargely accurate - welcome be-cause many of us have tried foryears to bring to the MIT com-munity the sound of poetry andrelevant commentary as an extra-curricular activity; largely accu-rate because I was not the onewho brought Dylan Thomas toMIT. He was invited here by theLSC whose chairman at the timewas, I believe, a student namedEdlin.

Many thanks to Mr. Lowensteinfor a good article which we, inHayden, hope will serve as furtherpromotion of a happy project.

·Praise for WarrenTo the Editor:

May I commend Michael Warrenfor his superb front page articleon "Dashing Through the Snow."I was caught in the identical traf-fic jam that Wednesday and alsoset some kind of a record goingfrom M.I.T. to the CommonwealthAvenue end of B. U. Bridge in 4hours!

I want to express my apprecia-tion to the group of men fromM.I.T. who pushed my car half-way across the bridge and madeit possible for me to get homeat all. Thanks, fellows!

I don't think that anyone whohas not experienced a "car im-prisonment" can really sympa-thize with the victims. However,

iMr. Warren expressed himself sowell that I am sending copies ofhis article to my closest friends.

One of MlT's first coeds attends classes "when MIT was Boston Tech." Althoughmuch has changed since those early days of MIT - classrooms, laboratory supplies,even locations - coeds are still relatively rare occurrences on campus.

first graduating class in 1968 numbered13 because of upper class admissions.

Courses offeredThe six courses subjects offered the

last two years were mechanical engineer-ing, civil and topographical engineering,practical chemistry, geology and mining,building and architecture, and an inter-disciplinary series called general scienceand literature.

In those years, it was not unusual forMIT to enroll special students for only aterm or a year of study. A sizeable por-tion of the student body consksted of suchstudents. Also, a series of night lecturesgiven under the auspices of the LowellInstitute, was run by Institute personnel,to benefit those who could not afford afull-time education.

Lowell lecture seriesThis series was not meant as mere

entertainment. Neither was it restrictedconcerning the sex of its membership.

Therefore it is not surprising that a num-ber of serious women students were at-tracted to them. In 1867,,a small group ofthem petitioned the Institute proper foradmission, and the next year MIT was acoeducational school.

The first female graduate was Ellen H.Swallow in 1873. She had come to MITfrom Vassar College, and she stayed asa "resident graduate" working as as-sistant to Professors Ordway and Nichols.The next year, she married ProfessorRichards.

MIT's reputationThe reputation of the new Institute of

Technology grew from the day it openedits doors. In 1868, when the school hadto petition the state legislature for per-mission to confer a degree on its grad-uates, that petition was readily granted.The young school was becoming estab-lished in every way except one: fiman-cially.

Both Wilson and Johnsonbrought up the point that the col-lege student is a major drivingforce behind programs of the typeenvisioned for urban studies. Wil-son explained that inevitably, stu-dent interest precedes faculty in-terest. When the latter has beensufficiently establisher, the univer-sity as an institution tends to en-ter the field.

Even more im-portant, he stated, is that manylong standing notions about themake-up of the city are false. Onlyintensive research and analysis ofthe problems of the urban centerswill correct this situation.

President Johnson added thatthe colleges must prepare men tolead the cities of tomorrow, justas we now educate the engineers,doctors, scientists, and business-men of tomorrow. "We in the uni-versity should produce competencein urban affairs just as we haveproduced competence in law andmedicine."

It will be an interesting battlebetween "Hello Goodbye" andDaydream Believer" in the nextfew weeks for the number onespot on Billboard's list.

"Hello Goodbye"now stands at 45 in its first week.

Past 'clashes'The two groups have had only

one previous direct confrontationon the singles chart, when "AllYou Need Is Love" reached num-ber one and "Pleasant Valley Sun-day" number three in August.

The Senator also discussed theways in which technology affectsour life today and what it will doin the future. He considered theadjustment that society mustmake to rapidly changing technol-ogy to be one of our major prob-lems today.

Finally turning to the MiddleEast Nuclear Desalinization Pro-

mn Once again, intramural sports2 have raised a controversy in theO MIT community. This time, theo sport in question is wrestling.

The main reason for the debateis that three people who wrestled

0 in the tournament now appear toa be ineligible, due to subsequent

participation in varsity sports.However, there is a definite

loophole in existence on this point,I for the three in question were not() out for varsity sports when thie' tournament was held. Therefore,Iu under the current eligibility rules,- there was no violation.

On the past, swimming has alsohad the same trouble, with somehouses holding freshman out fromthe frosh team until after the IMmeet. This is apparently muchmore prevalent than the problemwhich occurred this year withwrestling.

Rules change plannedThere is obviously a need for

changes in the IM eligibility rulesto counteract the above problems.According to IM Council ChairmanScudder Smith '69, these are in theworks, and will be presented atthe next IM Council meeting aweek from today. These will closethe above loopholes, making aIM sports.

However, there is also a ques-tion of ethics involved here. Whatis the purpose of intramuralsports? Are they merely designedto provide an annual competitionfor the IM trophy? Or are theyset up to, allow people not goodenough to make the varsity achance to compete in athletics?

Another change neededit is reasonably obvious thai t ie

second case is the intent of thecompetition. Therefore, in addi-tion to closing the above loopholesin the rules, the IM Council shouldalso insert a new section in the

rules, allowing the protest com-mittee to take action or, any ac-tion detrimental to the spirit ofintramural sports.

PredictionsOn a somewhat lighter note, it's

been a while since anyone had thenerve to try a few predictions.

The swimming team looks tohave a close met with Bowdoin,Saturday, but should pull it out inthe final relay by a score of 50-45.Indoor track will also open againstBowdoin. On the strength of thesophomores, a reversal of lastyear's 70/2-42½/2 score seems like-ly. The cagers, facing Wesleyanin the opener, will have a toughtime. Dave Jansson '68 will pullthe team through to a 65-62 win.

The squash team will have asplit this weekend. They shouldhave no trouble with Adelphi Fri-day (8-1), but Dartmouth's ex-perience could-prove the differ-ence in Saturday's game' (4-5).Finally, the varsity skaters willprobably suffer a repeat of lastyear's 6-1 loss to UMass.

Bill Kennelly '70 forces Emerson wrestler George Woods intoa pinning combination in Wednesday's match. Kennelly was oneof eight engineers to pin his man.

Mellanson, all seniors, are excesptionally strong players and willlose to few opponents.

Arthur Klein, another senior, ispresently manning the number 7position, while Jeff Hallock, '69,despite missing practice while hewas running cross country, holdsdown the number 8 spot.

year are the three sophomores.Manny Weiss (9), Bob McKinley(4), and Terry Champlain (6)were numbers one, two, and threerespectively on last year's excep--tional freshman team. If thesethree men live up to expectations,the team will have a very solidfirst nine.

By Jrohn WargoCoach Farnham thinks his eleventh year as

varsity track coach should be a very rewarding one."Let's say this much, last year's varsity recordwas 1-6. We should improve on it, in- fact I thinkit's possible to turn it around." The overall depthof the team is better than it has been in years withthree or four good men in each event.

The team has few competitors with varsity ex-perience - only nine lettermen are listed on theroster. They will have to drawv a great deal ofmaterial from last year's freshman squad. butwhat a source of material; the class of 1970'sfreshman cross-country, indoor and outdoor tracksquads lost only one meet.

Sophomore sprintersThree of the four outstanding sprinters evidence

this sophomore strength: Bill McLeod '69, JoelHemmelstein '70, John Holding '70, and LarryKelly '70 will be running the dash. Coach Farnhamlists Kelly, Jim Leary '70, and Dean Schneider '69as the leading prospects for the 600.

When the 1000, mile, or two mile are mentioned,Farnham almost jumnps for joy. The coach draws

material for these distance events from the unde-feated cross-country team and comes up with agood deep lineup of runners. Ben Wilson '70 leadsthe pack here, followed closely by John Owens '70,Jim Yankaskas '69, Larry Petro '70, Eric Darling'70, and Pete Peckarsky '68.

Field events weaker"Our field events will be weaker this year,

primarily because we have lost top weight mensuch as Gordon DeWitte '67," says Coach Farn-ham, but quickly points to Pete Maybeck '68 andBruce Lautenschlager '70 as potential 53 footweight throwers and the team's top shot putters,backed by Jim Sicilian '69 and J. Douglas Reid '70.

In the pole vault area, Captain Steve Sydoriak'68 must be recognized as at the top in New Eng-land and will be- shooting for 1516 foot jumps inthe big meets.

McLeod leads jumpersThe broad jump sees Bill McLeod '69 hitting

over 22 feet and heading for 23, with Kjell Karsrud'68 bacEing him up. John Zilli's ('70) 6-3 jump out-doors should make him the leading high jumperwith Dave Ogrydziak '68 near him.,

and Princeton as other toughmatches.

Tech's first seven matches willbe played at home. Today theyface Adelphi, who has never de-feated Tech in squash. Saturday,the engineers play host to Dart-mouth. This should be a real testfor the sophomores. Last season,

although Tech's first 3 men de-feated Dartmouth, the team lostthe match. The season' success

may well be predicted by the suc-cess of the sophomores in thiscontest.

Although the varsity soccerteam finished the season with awinless 0-4 league record, twooutstanding individual playerswere able to land positions on theGreater Boston League All Starteam. Both Jeff Reynolds '69 andSteve Young '70 gained enoughpoints from the various varsitycoaches to top players from fourother colleges-Tufts, Boston Col-lege, Brandeis, and Boston U.

Reynolds, a 167 lb. goalie fromTampa, Florida, stopped 84 shotsin league play, while giving up15 goals in the four games. The5'10" junior was credited with anover-all total of 255 saves with 45goals allowed in the thirteen sea-son games. A mechanical engi-neering major at Tech, Reynoldscame off the bench to be Tech'sfirst-string netkeeper at the out-set of the season, and kept thespot pinned down with his excel-lent defensive play.

An even younger player is SteveYoung, who graduated from an

The next seven matches be.longed entirely .to the Engineers.Joe Baron '70 pinned Ron Rolesonin 3:38. Mike Dickens '70 pinnedMike Conners in 2:19. At 145pounds, Regan Fay '70 pinnedChris Callahan in 6:48. Paul Mal.ey 70 won the 152-pound matchwith a 2:23 fall over Tom Sutliffe.Another soph, Bill Kennelly, took3:11 to pin George Woods.

Garvey pins opponentCaptain Tom Garvey, the only

senior on. an exceptionally youngjayvee team, put the match wellout of reach with a quick pin overBarry Piper, and Dean Whelan '70added the seventh Tech pin in arow, putting Paul Levine to themat in 5:28.

At 191, John Stempack '70, 20pounds underweight, suffered a10-6 loss to Ken Kowalski. TheTech heavyweight, Frank Ching'70, in his first intercollegiatematch, lost a 6-1 decision to DaveTucker to end the meet.

Though they will certainly facetougher teams than Emerson intheir schedule, the outlook for thejunior varsity is bright. Presentlystocked with sophs, the team stillhas depth and talent. Their nextmatch, definitely-one of the rough-er on their-ssch-leddle, has Tech fac-ing the Harvard jayvees Wednes-day, December 6th._The varsityseason opens officially this Fridayas MrT travels to New London,Connecticut, for the annual CoastGuard Invitational meet.
