Last Minute Victory

Cagers Just Nip UnionBy Edward M. Schneider '62

The MIT varsity basketball team went into last night's en-counter with Lowell Tech in high spirits, thanks to a thrillingcome-from-behind victory, 68-67, over Union College on Tuesday.

Tech, as has been the case in the last seven games, was aheadat the half; this time, 37-34, thanks to the twenty-one point outputof center Dave Koch '62. However, Union showed signs, towardthe end of the half, of breaking through MIT's zone defense.

Press Hampers TechSure enough, cornerman Lew Jones and Dave Santos of Union,

began to score on easy layups in the opening minutes of the secondhalf. Fine shooting by Koch, Chuck Gamble '62, Tom Burns '62,and Jeff Paarz '63, kept the Engineers in the ball game. However,with about eight minutes left in the game, and the score knottedat 53-53, the Union full-court press, which had made MIT look abit clumsy in the previous minutes, really took effect.

Tech's erratic passes combinedwith fine driving shots by theDutchmen from Schenectady re-sulted in a 65-54 Union leadwith only 4:25 remaining in thegame. It looked like the Engi-neers were going to go down totheir fifth straight defeat.

The Gap ClosesWhat took place in the next

four minutes had the spectatorsjumping on their feet. Tech wasstealing passes right and left.First Gamble swished two foulshots. Kent Groninger '63chipped in a three-point play.Phil Robinson '62 banged in along one-hander. Koch scoredwith two quick, short jumpshots. It was 65-64 Union withtwo minutes remaining.

The Engineers weren't stop-ping here. MIT got the ball,Robinson popped in another pushshot, and it was 66-65. Mo-ments later, Gamble stole theball and was fouled. He con-verted both attempts, and Techwas on top 68-65 with only 52seconds remaining in the game.Union scored another bucket andtrailed by only one point. A badpass gave the visitors the ballunder their own basket withthree seconds remaining. Theirlast shot was wide, and it was awell-deserved 68-67 victory forMIT.

Koch Paces VictorsKoch was high man with 29

points. The Engineers lookedpretty good from the foul line,scoring on 20 of 25 attempts.

It was an entirely differentTech team than the one thathad lost to the Coast GuardAcademy last Saturday night.Coach John Barry hopes they,will look as good throughouttheir next game, at Trinity, aweek from tomorrow night.

Dr. Wieman ToTalk On Theism

lational Naturalistic Theismis the title of a free lecture tobe delivered by Dr. Henry Nel-son Wieman today, January 13,at 8:00 p.m., in the LibraryLounge.

Dr. Wieman, for many yearsprofessor of the philosophy ofreligion at the University ofChicago and presently visitingprofessor at Southern IllinoisUniversity, comes to Boston thisweek under the auspices of theBillings Fund of the AmericanUnitarian Association.

Dr. Wieman's philosophy ar-gues that the idea of God has itsroots within the context of na-ture and that a supernatural ex-planation is an inappropriateacademic contrivance. He doesnot equate God with nature;rather with the growth experi-ence which tends to bring orderand meaning into life. Wiemanrefers to God as the process ofcreative synthesis which ope r-ates in a tender and loving man-ner. Devoid of the dualismwhich has traditionally thrownscience and religion into con-flict, Wieman's position pre-sumes there is a compatible re-lationship between religion andscience and that the disciplinesmerely serve different needs ori-ented within the same plane ofreality.

Arab Club And Fair Play For CubaGiven Provisional Class B Status

Two MIT organizations were granted Provisional Class Bstatus at the Wednesday night meeting of the Activities Councilthis week. The two groups are the Arab Club and an organizationknown as "Fair Play for Cuba."

The Arab Club was organized formally in October of 1958 atMIT. Its planned program for the future includes dinners con-sisting of traditional Arabic dishes, lectures on problems of themodern Arab world by reputablespeakers, including MIT alumni,and a number of debates of apolitical nature. A specialspeaker scheduled for February28 is to be announced at a laterdate. The officers of the societyare: President, Rurik Halaby;Vice-President, Qais Fattah; andSecretary-Treasurer, Imad Ta-her.

The Fair Play for Cuba groupplans to undergo thorough or-ganizational procedures at thebeginning of the second semes-ter, at which time its first dis-cussion session; will be held. Apermanent slate of officers willalso be elected at that time.

First- Term Grade Reports

To Be Mailed February 2First-term grade reports will

be mailed to the term addressesof all students on Thursday eve-ning, February 2.

The report may be sent to thestudent at a different address ifhe calls at the Registrar's Of-fice no later than January 27.

Duplicate reports will be sentto the parents of all first-yearstudents.

Transcripts will not be pre-pared after January 27 until theweek of February 20, 1961. Or-ders should be placed now.

Professor Weisner Chosen AsAdvisor For President -Elect

'It was announced Wednesday morning in Palm Beach, Florida,by Pierre Salinger, press secretary to President-elect John F.Kennedy, that MIT Professor Jerome B. Wiesner has been ap-pointed "Special Assistant to the President for Science andTechnology."

This post is currently held by Professor George B. Kistiakow-sky of Harvard University, and was previouslyheld by MIT's Dr. James R. Killian.

In accepting the job, Wiesner builds on acareer already marked with accomplishments.Presently director of the Research Laboratoryof Electronics at the Institute, he has been aleader in the rapid development of communica-tions sciences. He has been a member of thePresident's Science Advisory Committee, was a Jerome Wiesnermember of the committee which prepared the Gaither Report,and was staff director of the American Delegation to the 1958Geneva conference on the prevention of surprise attack.

Dr. Wiesner came to MIT in 1941 as associate leader of theradio frequency development group of the Radiation Laboratory.He later became project engineer of a key radar developmentprogram and a member of the laboratory's steering committee.Wiesner returned to MIT in 1946 after serving a year on the

staff of Los Alamos Laboratolry.In recognition of "outstand-

ing services to his country",Wiesner was awar(led the Presi-dent's Certificate of Merit, thesecond highest civilian award,in 1948.

John Corley To Conduct

Musical Carnival To Be At KresgeThe MIT Symphony Orches-

tra, the MIT Brass Choir, andmembers of the MIT ConcertBand, all under the baton ofJohn Corley, Assistant Directorof Music at MIT, will combineto present a Winter Carnival at'Kresge Auditorium Sunday af-ternoon at 3. The concert is freeand open to the public.

The program will open with"Seven Roumanian Dances" byBela Bartok, played by thestring section and solo wood-winds of the Orchestra. Nextthe woodwind choir of the Con-cert Band will appear to per-form three preludes by DmitriShostakovich. Concluding thefirst half will be the Brass Choirwith "Sonata" for brass, byGuiseppe Battista Buonamente,"The Village," by Sigmund Sin-ger, and "Symphony for Brass,"Opus 5, by Victor Ewald.

Following intermission, theSymphony Orchestra will pre-sent "Fidelio" Overture by Bee-thoven, "Oboe Concerto," byCimarosa, with Dave Roberts '61as soloist, and four dance epi-

sodes from the ballet "Rodeo,"by Aaron Copland.

The Shostakovich preludes arethree piano pieces "freely trans-cribed" for woodwinds by JohnCorley. The brass pieces rangein period from the 17th centuryBuonamente sonata to the con-temporary work by Singer. TheEwald symphony is a rarity, be-ing one of the few Romanticpieces for brass.

Roberts is SoloistDave Roberts '61 has been

solo oboist with the MIT Sym-phony since his arrival at Tech.Conductor Corley has termedhim "the most outstanding onhis instrument in the past tenyears at Tech." The "Oboe Con-certo" is a concerto in the clas-sic mode with melodic elementssuggestive of the coming of theRomantic Era. Cimarosa, whosedates are 1749-1801, was chieflyknown as a prolific composer ofItalian comic opera.

The four dance episodes of thecontemporary ballet "Rodeo"are entitled "Buckaroo Holiday,""Corral Nocturne," "SaturdayNight Waltz," and "Hoedown."

A recent Activities Council decision gave< Class B status to the "Fair Play For Cuba" group- now in the process of organization. Although

we must specifically reserve judgment on thisparticular activity, at least until it is organizedand functioning, we can't help but draw a paral-lel or two between this group and last year's

I EPIC. Both are ad hoc groups, formed by MITI men in answer to a specific national political

*-- problem. Both bear out the hypothesis that MITI students are becoming more and more politically

aware, albeit slowly. Viewed in the light of lastweek's editorial, this is heartening news.

Several factors on the MIT scene combineto encourage this tendency of the Techman tothink about and involve himself in the politicalworld. The presence and activity of the econom-ics and political science departments, particularlythe Center for International Studies, is part of theanswer. The involvement of well-known facultymembers in the Washington political scene --Dr. Killian, Professors Samuelson and Rostow,and now Dr. Wiesner - is another part. Wemight also cite the return to a freer atmosphereof discussion and action as memories of theMcCarthy Era fade.

Although one may not approve of a specificgroup or its actions, this general situation seemsto us to be a healthy one. It represents an extra-classroom step in the right direction; namely,toward educating and involving the engineer andscientist in the world "outside his laboratory" --the world of the humanities.

Of course there are inconsistencies and stopsalong the way. Inscomm's decision to leave theNational Student Association, followed as it wasby little or no progress toward affiliation with agroup with ideals more closely akin to our own,

CAM'US COM'bY

'1959

"\GO TO WORK... CO DIRECTLY ro WORK...DO N07 PASS5 0o..00 NoT COLLECT 2zoo. "

is one. The indifference commonly displayedtoward student politics is another.

Why are MIT students interested in nationalbut not student politics? At first glance theanswer would seem to lie in the fact that theformer involves clashes between groups, andclashes of ideas, while the latter involves neither.

We would add, however, that a genuineinterest in political affairs also must be accom-panied by some feeling of responsibility or per-sonal involvement. This feeling should extendto the local political scene, however far removedit may seem. One cannot expect to be a citizenof a nation without first being a citizen of a com-munity. If student politics at MIT lack color,ideas, and real conflict it is because the very oneswho deride them, refuse to be involved.

If an increasing interest among undergradu-ates in politics and government on the nationallevel is noted, this is encouraging. Accompaniedby widespread disinterest in student politics, it issomewhat anomalous. We ask you to considerthe anomaly.

Nearly a year ago we opened Volume Eightyof The Tech by stating that our desire was to dis-cuss the major issues that beset MIT. Since thenour considerations have ranged far and wide."Space junk" in Building Seven, research vs.teaching, MIT architecture, B.U.'coeds in theLibrary, intramural athletics, Rush \Veek, thetime necessary to procure a hamburger in Pritch-ett - all these and more have passed in review.On some, our comment has stood alone; on otherswe have been joined or attacked by various mem-bers of the community. Suddenly we find our-selves with just one last set of makeup sheets tolay out; only twenty more column inches inwhich to express our editorial views.

The feeling of nostalgia is strong, but hardlyunconquerable. Volume Eighty-one is alreadytaking shape; officers and editors are soon to beelected. We are sure that the next year of pub-lishing will see major changes in the paper justas has the past one.

We wish the Board of Volume Eighty-one allsuccess. The Board of Volume Eighty deeply ap-preciates the support - and criticism - whichhas come its way from so many different quarters.Given this essential element, we are confidentthat the new Board will meet its goals withsomething to spare.

Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.)

THE ENGINEERS HAVE HAIRY EARSToday in this age of technology when engineering graduatesare wooed and courted by all of America's great industries, howdo you account for the fact that Rimbaud Sigofoos, who fin-ished at the very top of his class at M.I.T., turned down hun-dreds of attractive job offers to accept employment as a machin-ery wiper at the Acme Ice Company at a salary of $20 a weekwith a twelve-hour day, a seven-day week, and only fifteenminutes for lunch'?

I know what you are thinking: "Cherchez la femme!" You arethinking that MIr. Acme, head of the Acme Ice Company, hasa beautiful daughter with whoiml Rimbaud is Imadly in love andhe took the job only to be near her.

Friends, you are wrong. It is true that Mr. Acme does havea daughter, a large, torpid lass lnatlre(d Clavdia who spends allher waking hours scooping marzipan out of a bucket and staring:at a television set which has not worked in Some years. Rimbaudhas not the slightest interest in Clavdia; nor, indeed, does anyother main, excepting possibly John Ringling Nort}h.

So how come Rimnbaud keeps working for the Acme IceCompany? Can it be that they provide hinm with free MarlboroCigarettes, and all day long he is able to settle back, nmkehimself comfortablle and enjoy the filter cigarette with the un-filtered taste?

No, friends, no. RIimbaud is not allowed to smoke on the joband when he finishes his long, miserable day he has to buy hisown TMarlboros, even as you and I, in order to settle flack andenjoy that choice tobacco, that slnooth, mellow flavor, that in-comparable filter, that pack or box.

Well, friends, you might as well give up because you'll neverin a Inillion years guess why Rimb)aud works for the Acmle IceCompany. The reason is simply this: Rinibaud is a seal!

IHe started as a performing seal in vaudeville. One night onthe way to the Ed Sullivan show, he took the wrong subw1%ay.All night the poor mammal rode the B.'M.T., seeking a helpinghand. Finally a kindly brakeman named Ernest ThompsonSigafoos rescued the hapless Rimblud.

He took Rinb)aud home and raised hiln as his own, andRimbaud, to show his appreciation, studied hard and got ex-cellent marks and finished a distinguished academic career asvaledictorian of M.I.T.

Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, butthrough all those years of grammar school and high school andcollege, he darn near died of the heat! A seal, you must re-memlnber, is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can im-agine how poor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropicalNew York and Boston, especially in those tight Ivy Leaguesuits.

But today at the Acine Ice Conllny, Rimbaud has finallyfound a temperature to his liking. He is very happy and sendsgreetings to his many friends.

Get the facts about a cateet with Con EdisonCon Edison is in the midst of a huge expansion program to servea constantly growing New York-the world's most dynamiccity. In five years we're spending over a billion dollars to buildnew plants, sub-stations and distribution facilities and to findnew and better ways to meet our city's increasing demand forelectricity, gas and steam.

Our tremendous growth is increasing the need for creative andambitious college graduates-in both technical and non-techni-cal fields. In the next fifteen years 750 of the 791 top manage-ment positions in the company will fall vacant-mainly throughretirement. These important positions will be filled largely bymen who join us now. Our carefully planned program forcollege graduates offers a good starting salary, major assign-ments at once and rapid advancement.

So why not get all the facts about the many interesting andworthwhile careers Con Edison has to offer... pick up a copy

Icemen Down WPI And AmherstMIT's varsity hockey team, with two straight victories in its

sticks, faces the University of Pennsylvania tonight on the BriggsField Rink at 7 p.m. The Techmen captured an impressive 7-2victory over Amherst Wednesday after blanking a hapless Worces-ter Polytechnic squad last Saturday, 11-0.

Mike Denny '63, currently the hottest Tech scorer, garnered ahat trick against Amherst and four goals in the WPI rout.

The Amherst game was all eve;l until the second period, whenthe Tachmen erupted for fourtallies. The seventh goal wasthe result of a third periodeffort.

Captain Erik Salbu '61 andSteve Levy '62 each accountedfor a pair of points. Protectingthe net for MIT was Tim O'Brien'62.

Eight Fast GoalsTech exploded for eight mark-

ers in the opening stanza againstWPI as Denny struck for a hattrick. After that there was nocontest. O'Brien was seldomcalled upon for a save.

SPORTSWRITERSThe planned expansion of The

Tech's sports coverage will per-mif the creation of new staffposifions. Persons interestedshould contact the sports editor.

Salbu and Bill Vachon '63each scored twice in the Satur-day frolic. Contributing a goalapiece were Levy, John Rupert'62 and Tony Weikel '63.

Expectation HighMIT is in good position for its

fourth victory tonight since Pen-sylvania was recently one ofAmherst's victims. Penn is fair-ly new to college hockey ranks,having initiated the sport tocomply with an intra-Ivy Leaguecompetition-in-all-sports pact.

After the intercession the ice-men will be at home five timesand on the road once. UMass,Wesleyan and WPI will be fac-ing the Techmen for the secondtime. Bowdoin and Connecticutend the regular season, to be fol-lowed by the annual alumniclassic.

Evidently off form after vaca-tion layoff, the varsity trackteam was topped by North-eastern and Tufts last Saturdayat the Northeastern cage. 'rhescore was Northeastern 73, Tufts44l.5, MIT 221/2. The frosh ag-gregation placed second, scoring51 to 16 for Tufts and 73 forthe host squad.

Joe Davis '61 continued to leadthe Tech scoring with six pointsgained via a second in the highjump, third in the low hurdles,and fourth in the lows. Davis'6 foot effort in the high jumpwas second to a cage record byNortheastern's Willy Anderson.

George Withbroe '61 was theonly winner for the Beaver var-sity, coming from behind in thelast half lap to nip the Huskies'Joe Bolton in the 600 in 1:8.7.Al Ramo '63 put forth one ofMIT's best shotput efforts infinishing second to Tufts' CarlBeasley. Herb Grieves '61 cameback from a fifth place in thetwo-mile to anchor the relayteam to a second spot finish.Forrest Green '63, John Mur-dock '63, and Larry Coppola '62made the first three batonpasses.

Frosh Jim Flink was a triplevictor for the third consecutivemeet, taking the dash and bothhurdles events, in addition to athird in the broad jump for atotal of 17 points. Gary Lukisand Jim Allen copped the polevault and high jump with 11'6"and 5'7" efforts, respectively,while Bill Harper and Jerry Das-sel placed 1-2 in the 35-poundweight throw.

The varsity hopes to moveinto the winning column tomor-row when both varsity andfrosh meet Bowdoin at RockwellCage at 1:00 p.m. The meet willhave an unusual feature in that,since both teams are competingin the mile relay in the Knightsof Columbus meet at the BostonGarden tomorrow night, thatrace will also count as the finalevent of the afternoon meet.

Shooting Ranges-MIT Eyesores

As the Second Century Fund continues to grow and' Instituteexpansion plans are released, one project is notably missing: theconstruction of modern target shooting facilities.

To be sure, the rifle range is not generally seen by visitors toMIT, but its status as the campus eyesore cannot be denied. Andthe pistol range, which, in serving both students and faculty occu-pies less space than the Ping Pong Club headquarters, can hardlybe termed an asset.

In a recent two year period 600 incoming freshmen expressedan interest in organized shooting. Yet there are only 60 under-graduates presently associated with the rifle and pistol programs.This drastic reduction can be directly attributed to the lack of ade-quate practice facilities. The rifle range boasts five firing points,the pistol range four. At other colleges 24 points are not unknown.

The amazing fact remains that MIT's varsity teams have donewell in both sports. Last year the rifle team captain, Bill Leffler, waseighth in the National Rifle Association Intercollegiate IndividualChampionships, which drew 1390 competitors. This year the rifleteam is undefeated and the pistol team has drawn the sincere praiseof the Coast Guard coach. We can only imagine how well these menwould perform, given decent facilities.

Boston is a stronghold of the nation's shooting enthusiasts.The MIT Faculty team leads its division in the Greater BostonPistol League, the nation's largest. The MIT undergraduate teamis second. But MIT's facilities place last.

We realize that the Second Century planners are aware of thisproblem, since the present decrepit rifle range is not seen on themodel of the future MIT. We hope that MIT's shooters will beable to join the April celebration, having been assigned a respect-able home.
