When the baton drops, signifying In ththe start of the Intrafraternity maestrcConference Dance on Friday, May with h10, at the Hotel Bradford, Johnnyossm allaLong will be on hand to supply the sectionstype of music that has made his setiorchestra one of the most rapidly osoletrising dance bands in the nation. Scorny.'

It is true that most musical ag-gregations owe their popularity toone particular type of arrangementwhich usually gets its start in onelsonlg that just happens to "catch,"and Johnny Long is no exceptionto the rule. His name is synonym:inous to that of Jive singing which -lie has probably done the most to {-popularize. :.

Success With Shantytown:

Thle song that gave Johnny his s.start is the old timed, "Shantytown," with a vocal arrangement that f

spread through the country like -Z--wildfire. The American public seems.-to have a special weakness for nov-elty tunes, and, when the. new ver-.is~gsion of 11hantytown" with its "ctreelin the hole, and the hole in theground, and the green grass growin'all around and around" hit the piso-ple, they in turn, sent the Decca l recording sales of the song well over |the 150,000 mark.

Soon the Long Glee Cluib becameunmistakable with its jived up ver-Johnnysion o~f "oldies" such as "When I bring hiGrow Too Old to Dream" and "Blue BradfordSkies," to mention just a few of the on13his hits.

Class Of 6-46 ElectsPermanent Officers;Classes To Combirne

Spring Elections will be heldWednesday, WMay 8, in the lobby ofBuilding 10. Officers of the Senior,

bh Junior, and Sophomore classes arele to be elected as well as permanentd class officers (President, Secretary-

1- Treasurer, and three class Dayy Marshals) for the Class of 6-46.k The men who are elected at thisik time will take office at the begin-

ning of the fall term.

eS Nominations must -be turned inbetween 9:00 AM. Wednesday, May

is 1, and 1:00 P2M. Thursday, May 2,- at the Information Office in Build-

!s ing 7. (The necessary nominationIs blanks can be obtained at this of-

fice.) Each nomination must haveat least 25 signatures and must beaccompanied by a statement ofpolicy by the candidate (not to ex-ceed 200 words in length), a tabu-lar list of his extracurricular ac-tivities, his cumulative rating, anda picture. His nomination will notbe considered unless these instruc-tions are followed.

Men may nominate and vote onlyin their own class. No one man can

o sign more nominations for an of-0fice than there are vacancies to be

filled. For example: A man maye sign two nomination blanks for theY office of Institute Committee Rep-resentative of his class becausee there are two men to be elected to

the office... The penalty for,.faijuire .to co=ly '

with these regulations is loss of theright to vote in the election and, inthe case of a candidate for office,disqualification of his nomination.

The class status of an individualshall be defined, for the purposesof the Election Committee, as theclass to which he will belong at thebeginning of the fall term. Men

1who are then 4-1 or 4-2 will be Sen-iors (Class of 1947); men who are3-1 or 3-2 will be Juniors (Class of

l1948); and men who are 2-1 or 2-2will be Sophomores (Class of 1949).Thus it is possible bat a man whois now 3-1, 3-2, or 4-1 may be nom-inated for an office in the SeniorClass if he will be 4-1 or 4-2 in thefall. Men who are now 4-2 are inthe Class of 6-46 and will vote inthat class.

This change to the prewar stand-ard of 3 sets of class officers (thefreshmen are not considered an or-ganized class) is in line with thepolicy of Technology of reverting toprewar conditions as quickly as pos-sible. It is hoped that the changesfrom the usual form in this electioncan be carried out smoothly to fa-cilitate reconversion. The secondstep will be taken next fall whenthe Elections Committee will reviewthe class status of all men who arethen holding class offices. Thosemen who will change class at theend of the fall term will be replacedby a special election conducted atthe same time as the Senior WeekCommittee and Junior Prom Com-mittee elections.

Editor, The TechWalker MemorialDear Sir:

I attended Professor Struik's lec-ture on the subject of "What CanWe Expect from the Soviet Union?"and was surprised at the opinionsexpressed in front of an audiencecomposed mainly of Technologystudents. It is the pride of thiscountry, as I understand, to havefreedom of speeech and allow every-one to express his personal opinions.Is it permissible, however, to givean audience facts that are not true,statements that are not correct,and conclusions based on inaccu-rate premises?

The students of this college andof all the colleges of the UnitedStates want to learn the true andunbiased facts about the worldsbiggest problem today-the Unionof Soviet Socialist Republics. Theyare weary of hearing propagandaand counter-propaganda thrownback and forth at them throughnewspapers, radio, books or lec-tures.

In attending Prof. Struik's lectureI expected to hear an impartial dis-cussion of the Soviet problem. WhatI heard was the strangely familiarphraseology of the universal propa-ganda:

"U.S.S.R. is a true friend of thesmall nation and their people."Does Prof. Struik know that overtwo million Poles were deported toSiberia, over 200,000 imprisoned orsent to forced labor camps in Asia?Were they all "landlords" and'fascists" as he expressed himself?

"U.S.S.. wants friendly demo-cratic governments in border statesfor its own security and the securityof democracy." . . . IS a governmentformed in Moscow and then ratifiedthrough a masquerade of popularelections a democratic free-electedgovernment of an independent na-tion? Are governments such as thatof Bulgaria, which is not recognizedby the United States, friendly anddemocratic?

"The best proof that people ofthe U.S.S.R. are happy is in thefact that no attempts at revolt weremade, although arms were abun-dant in time of war." . . Prof.Struik seems to forget about the1939 Ukrahian revolt, about themass desertions, about the PolishArmy in Siberia. How does he ex-

Worst of all, however, are those people who have tossed inthe towel, and admitted their own lack of faith both in theircountry and in the will and ability of their fellow man to fashionworld unity-those who insist that war with Russia is inevitable.A well-known Washington news analyst in a broadcast not solong ago even went as far as to predict conflict with the U.S.S.R.by April first. Needless to say he failed as a Nostradamus-his prophecy didn't materialize-and why should it ever ma-terialize?

The public is inclined to worry too much over what Russiadoes and is doing; they interpret every disagreement betweenthe Soviet Urwon and the Western Powers as a bad omen, andas only one more step to eventual war with that country. Thisis an out-and-out defeatist attitude that must be dispelled, forin their own unthinking way these people will foment the warthey fear so much. Their war-mongering is to be comparedwith that of any profiteer who seeks war for his own gains.

Recently a movement started to establish a "Friendship-With-Russia Week." Why should there have to be such a move-ment? Can we not be friends with Russia or with any othernation, for that matter, without going out of our way to do it?If we directed our energies more to fulfilling our pledge fora concerted effort to insure universal peace, and less to frettingover a possible conflict with Russia, we may see a happier worldsooner than we expect. Talk of war will breed war, and if weconvince ourselves that we will get on with Russia, then thevery thought of war will vanish from the sczne.

ONE MORE SIGN OF NORMALCYSince the advent of the three-term year at Technology,

the faculty and student body have been in a state of confusionand perplexity concerning the various organized classes that havebeen rushing through the Institute with tags like 6-45 and 10-44after them. To the outsider, furthermore, this cryptic nomen-clature must have borne some air of mysticism with it. Underthese conditions there Was an election for officers of one classor another every term.

Following the pattern set by the Institute, the ElectionsCommittee is returning to its pre-war system, and elections willnow be held in the spring of every year for the Senior, Junior,or Sophomore class as a whole, rather than for each individualterm of the classes. Those of you who are graduating in out-of-phase terms may feel slighted in that your class is not represented.These off-schedule classes, however, will not be recognized bythe Alumni Association, so the Elections Committee has givenyour men the opportunity of running for office in the June classes.They will serve one term until they graduate, and then thevacancy will be filled by a re-election.

Let us bid adieuythen to the classes of 2-47, 2-48,,etc., andwelcome the classes of '47 and '48.

plain why the Lithuanians weretransplanted to the Urals, theUkranians to Sakhalin, the Gruzinsto Werchojansk? Was it not be-cause of the fear of nationalisticmovements?

"Bands of fascists, Poles andYugoslavs still dream of a waragainst the U.S.S.R. and hope toget the support of the UnitedStates." . . . Is this the right thingto say about the men who foughtthe Germans for six long years?Does he forget the siege of Warsawand the insurrection, the battles ofTobruk and Mount Cassino, and theplains of Normandy? An Army ofover 100,000 Poles in Italy refusesto return to Russian occupied Po-land. Are they the "fascists," the"landowners," the "colonel's clique?"It is easy to use standard cliches,it is harder to express sentimentsand emotions for which men gavetheir lives.

Prof. Struik said that the Russianpeasant is happy, that he is lookingforward to better his standard ofliving and attain a higher pros-perity. Did he speak to this peas-ant, did he mix with the crowds insmall villages, did he discuss withthe workers when there was noParty Commissar around?

I did.

AMATEUR WAR-MONGERSIt is not the usual policy of this column to step out of the

semi-secluded sanctuary of school affairs into the frighteningvoid of international relations, but in recent weeks so muchhas been thrown back and forth about the "Red Bear," thatwe would like to add our comments to the conglomeration ofopinions and feelings on the subject.

A lot of people today are generally scared of Russia's poten-tialities as a world power and aS a war-making nation. Theyare gloomy over the prospect of ever seeing the United States,Great Britain, and the Soviet Union as three nations genuinelyinterested in preserving world harmony, and in contributingto the peace unselfishly without a view to the benefits they mayderive from the negotiations. The constant bickering, the side-taking, the jealous nationalism of the threw is casting a despondentshroud over hopes for a truly tranquil amity among these coun-

tries.

ety Struik LecturesOn Soviet Union

Repair And SecurityAre Primary Policies

The Lecture Series Committeepresented a talk by Professor DirkJ. Struik on Tuesday afternoon,April 23, entitled, "What Can WeExrpect From the Soviet Union?"Professor Struik is Chairman of theMassachusetts Council for Ameri-can-Soviet Friendship and -hasspent some time in the SovietUnion.

Professor Struik believes thatwhat we can expect from theSoviet Union can be summed upin two steps-reconstruction in-ternally, and a desire for security,reflected in that country's foreignpolicy. This reconstruction shouldnot be confused with our programof reconversion since many Russiancities were completely destroyed bythe ravages of war.

It is expected, Professor Struikexplains, that most of this damagewill be repaired by the close of thefourth "Five Year Plan" in 1950,unless outside trouble intervenes,and it is here that the Soviet for-eign policy enters, to insure thenecessary se cur i ty.

The M.I.T. Radio Society's regu-lar monthly meeting will be heldin Litchfield Lounge at 7:30 P.M.,Friday, May 3. A real live Texan,Basil Baibee, W1OCE, ex W2MWX,8x W5FPJ, will be the kprincipalspeaker of the evening. He willpresent a "short-haired" discussionentit ed "Getting on 10 and 80."The talk will be principally to helpnewcomers to the field of hamradio to get on the air with the leasttrouble and best signal possible,but it is expected that old-timerswill be able to pick up a few helpfulhints also. Refreshments will beserved.

T'he meeting will be open to mem-bers only, but non-members mayjoin at the door. Regular codeclasses are conducted by the soci-ety each Tuesday at 5 P.M. andFriday at 4 P.M. in Room 10-267.
