Friday, October 17, 1947-'Pt,-re Two

Serge Koussevitsky leading theBoston Symphony Orchestra openedthe sixty-seven-th season for thegroup on Saturday nlight. The three

:9pieces presented were Bachi-9"Brandenburg Concerto No. 1,"1

'eMathis Der Maler," ,by Hindemuth,and the "Fift Symphony" of Bee-thoven.

An enthusiastic welcome wasgiven -the seventy-three-yeaT-oldKoussevitsky as he strode out tolead the one hundred iand nine manorchestra. Playing with vigor andskill to the packed house the Bos-ton Symphony again Proved itselfequal to its reputation as one of thetop orchestras in -the country.

Notably absent from this openingconcert was evidence of formalwear. Scattered here and therethroughout the crowd were a fewof the faithful but most of ithe at-tendant concertgoers were garbedin more prosaic garments. Whetherthis attitude is, -indicative of a newtrend in fashion or just a stubborn-ness, has not been determined yet.

Inlteresting Program GivenlThe "Brandenburg Concerto No..

19 is the first of six concertWs p~re-sented by Bach to the Margrave ofBrandenburg in 1721. Though neg-lected for some time they are nowconsidered to be the purest exam-ples of that composer's polyphonicstyle. The first concerto places theemphasis on what was then knownas Violino Piccolo, a rather weaksolo instrument. In the programSaturday night a violin wras subiti-tuted for the pat.

Hindemuth, a contemporary com-poser, first presented his symphony"Mathtis Der Maler'" in 1934. Thethree movements are taken fromnthe score of his opera of the samename. The theme for the...opera istaken from sthe life of the rentais-sance painter, Matthias Grunewald.Each movement is identified withone of the artist's paintings on thealtar piece of the Isenheim. church;first, the "Angelic Concert," second,the "Entombment," and lastly, the"Temptation of Saint Anthony."

The first half of the concert led up ],to the climax of the superb playingtof the well known Fifth Symphony by Beethoven. The grace of the first movement giving way to the im- dpelling force of the third movement toas directed by Koussevitsky and tAplayed by the orchestra compelled erecognition of the immortality of the master's music. Historically this symphony first presented in 1808, SIwas received indifferently and even .with derision. One additional note should be that the Fifth, when first presented in Boston in 1841, was t]considered "rather solid entertain- tment for even a Boston Audience." y

Also passed by the Institute Com-mittee was a resolution introducedby Earl W. Eames, 149, in supportof the President's food conservationprogram. The program is now beingfollowed by the Walker MemorialDining Service. As requested by theCommittee, The Tech publishes thetext of the resolution beow:

"Recognizing the most seriousfood shortage existing in Europeduring this period, and because ofthe urgent need for food conserva-tion in this country, the InstituteCommittee fully endorses the foodconservation program proposedSunday, October 6, by the Presidentof the United EStates, SecretariesMarshall and Anderson, and Mr.Luckman of the Citizens' Food Com-mittee. The program consists of thefollowing points:

1. Eat no meat on1 Tuesdays.

2. Eat no eggs or poultry on Thurs-days.

3. Eat one less slice of bread or oneless roll a day.

"The Institute Committee stronglyurges the dining services at the(Graduate House and at Walker, theindividual fraternity dining rooms,and each individual student toadopt the program imnmedliately andto keep such a program in effectuntil the declared end of the em-er-gency."1

RED FEATHER DRIVEThe Community Fund is at present holding its Re~d Feather

(,ins e to support 300 hospitals, health, youth, and social servicesini the as) communities in the Greater Boston area. A unitedeff ort of this sort has been found to be the most economical andei c i ent, m ethoad of raising money.

The faculty, administration, and employes of Greater Bos-ton schools and calleges will be solicited, but many students,who are unable to give to similar services at home should feelfrsee to make contributions.

Living Groups and Agencies CooperateTo Accommodate Record Entering ClassType Techi Reviews & PreviewsI

WE'VE HAD ITTechnology finally broke into the news-in the form of a

full-page "campus por-trait" spread in Esquire. Finally we havea. chance to get an objective view of ourselves.

Glow with pride, men, for we're apparently "thousands ofUpight young men poring over books and sweating in labs who

have a rendezvous with the electronic, jet-propelled future."However, don't get the idea that we spend all our time

brownbagging. For "the fervor with which (we) bend to (our)books is only exceeded by the ardor of (our) relaxation." So,thank God, we're actually the all-round kind.

And now that we've been immortalized let's get back toour differential analyzers. The curves coming out are begin-ning to look like Varga girls.

N.S.A. AT TECHNOLOGYThe affiliation of Technology's student body with the

new ly formed National Student Association is now under cons.<idleration by the Institulte Committee. There cannot be thes~lightest doubt but that our school, whose delegates to the5.NS.A. convention have taken an active part in the inception ofthe organization, will ratify its constitution and its student bodybecome members.

Unlike organizations like the Students For DemocraticAction, the United World Federalists and the American Youthfor Democracy, the N.S.A, will be a really democratic and trulyirepr esentative organization whose members actually stem fromevery region in the country and from all types of colleges anduniversities. Thus, the entire student body of an educationalinlstitutioll gains membership at a time as soon as its governingbody votes in favor of affiliation.

This organization does not spin vague, idealistic pipe-dreams about the wickedness of the world of today and the|U~toplia that might be brought about tomorrow. Furthermore,Iits members will not plaster the campus with propaganda for|'cemocracy" or incite its members to act hot-bloodedly on what

it considers an injustice to the rights of the common man and inparticular the common student. The program laid out for'K.S.A. falls along much more sensible and realistic lines.

Perhaps the bulk of N.S.A.' s activity will be conducted ona local level. Planning foreign student exchanges in coordinla-tion with particular schools, assisting these and other foreignstudlents in their adjustment to American ways, running educa-tionlal films, compiling comparative cost-of-living figures at col-leges, and conducting faculty evaluation programs would all fallalollg those lines. The N.S.A. "will bring to American collegestudents the benefits of regional and national cooperation onlmanyr phases of educational problems and activities."

Activities of an international character will be conducted.thi-ough membership in the International Union Of Students..Ther e, American students will have the opportunity, as in oythertworld organizations, to take the leadership that the UnitedStates must assume during these critical times in getting the :people of the world to discuss and settle the many problemswhich stand in the way of global peace.

We believe the N.S.A. is a sound orgainization and that the tlelegates who spent a week this summer in drafting the intri- c;,ate Constitution and By-laws did a remarkable piece of work. ffi

In particular, we think that the Technology delegates, Earl W. 0Eames, Jr., Rosemary Durnan, and Paul C. Johnson deserve the hi -hest praise for their report on N.S.A. which was received by ii-tembrls of the Institute Committee during the past week. X

The Tech is determined to back this organization to the L u llest extent.

Get Rich SchemeSweeps Institute;$2048 Made EasyA money-makring scheme has been

brought to our attention recently,and we thought you might like tohear how you too can make $2,000without any effort to speak of. Th eplan hit the Institute at the be-ginning of the te~rm and has beenquietly interesting'some of our moreventurous speculators. As one mightexpect, it is a switch on the oldchain letter gag.

The eager plunger buys a letterfor two dollars from a friend, pre-sumably. This letter consists of alist of ten (or so) names and anexplanation of the scheme. Thebuyer of the letter copies the letterover placing his name at the bot-tom of the list and Crosing off thetop name. He then sells the twoletters (copy and original) to twoof his friends -at two dollars, apiece.He sends two dollars to the manwhose name he crossed off the list(the address is also given), andkeeps two dollars for himself.

$500,000 Grantsfor Turbine LabGiven by Sloan, Head Industries

Made possible by grants of morethan $500,000 from a group of lead-ing industries interested in funda-nental research on gas turbines,

the new gas turbines laboratory in-cludes the most modern equipmentin its new home, located directlybehind the main buildings of theInstitute. Included are a super-sonic wind tunnel and unique facili-ties for research on the elements ofcompressors, combustion devices,jets, and gas turbines.

Contributions for the new labwere made by Mr. Alfred P. Sloan,Jr., the General Electric Company,Lhe Westinghouse Electric Corpora-tion, the United Aircraft Corpora-tion, General Machinery Corpora-tion and the Curtiss-Wright Cor-poration. The United States Navycontributed notably to the con-struction of the lab by providingsome of the equipment. In discuss-ing the significance of the newlaboratory, Professor Edward S.Taylor, its director, stressed the:growing importance of the gas tur-bine as a power plant.

Research OnI Basic Principles";In planning the new laboratory,"

he -said "considerable thought hasbeen given to determining the typeof research which will fit best withthe over-all programn of trainingfor engineers and in addition willmake a direct contribution to theart. With these objectives in mindit was decided to plan the labora-tory for long-range research withthe objective of discovering basicprinciples rather than for develop-ment work on specific pieces ofapparatus. The -gas turbine seemnsparticularly well adapted to thistype research. It is easily separatedinto its major components whichinclude compressor, combustionchamber, and turbine so that eachcomponent may be studied sepa-rately.

{'Basically the principles of whatis now known as the gas turbineare far from new. In 1791 JohnBarber patented a gas turbine inEngland, and since that time therehas been a long series of similarinventions. Until very recently,however, none of the ideas of thepast could be put into practice.

Primarily this was because metal-lurgical and mechanical engineer-ing had not progressed to the pointwhere positive results could beachieved. Metals were not avail-able. for example, with which tobuild turbine blades able to with-stand the very high temperatureand high speed necessary for econ-omical operation.

The Way Is Open"In recent years many develop-

ments have occurred which pointedthe way for the future. One of themost important is the turb-o-super-zharger.

One of the most interestingpieces of apparatus in the newlaboratory is a high speed windtunnel capable of operating up tothree times the velocity of sound.This tunnel will be used at first tostudy the problem of the flow ofair into the inlet of propulsionengines for supersonic airplanes.

Another piece of apparatus willmake it possible to investigate thenature of flow through compressorand turbine blades. This instru-ment, known as a cascade device,will operate at first at low velocitiesand, with this background ofknowledge, a device for operatingat high speeds will be designed.A large air compressor has beeninstalled to supply air to combus-tion apparatus which will burn upto six pounds of air per second ata pressure of fifty pounds persquare inch.

Harrison SpeaksOn Physics Jobs

In an address before approxi-mately 150 students in Room 6-120on Tuesday afternoon, Dr. GeorgeR. Harrison, Dean of Science, com-

Lpared the Physics profession withthat of the ministry by declaringthat one should not enter the pro-

;f ession solely for money. He further, asserted that employment by thelgovernments though the pay is sub-Lstantially greater, should be subor-

dinate to a job in the academicfield. His reason was that a gov-

,ernment job allows much less timefor creative research than academici work.

By Sander Rubin

A great number of the enteringfreshman class has never been in ornear Boston until recently. Si-ncestudents at the Institute spendeight months out of the year in theBoston Metropolitan District, i, isdesirable that the freshman ac-quaint themselves with the customsand traditions of the locality. Tofacilitate this The Tech herewithoffers a few pointers on the GreaterBoston area.

Probably the most immediatelynoticeable difference between Bos-ton and the rest of the world is thepeculiar manner of speech. Bos-tonians substitute the "ah" soundin words that normal people wouldpronounce with "1ar." Thus, thephrase "large charge" becomes'lahge chahge." Or, witness theharrowing experience of one for-eigner who went in to a photog-raphy store and asked the proprie-tor innocently for a tube of de-veloping powder.

"I'mn sorry," the salesman re-plied, "the smallest size we have isa quot."

"A what?" asked the confusedcustomer.

"A quot.""What is a quot?""A quot! A quot! You know,

two pints," said the salesman, whoby now had become quite excited.

The customer took the developerin what he preferred to call thequart size, and left the store badlyshaken by the encounter.

The Boston newspapers reflect thenatives' peculiar notion that any-thing going on outoside of the Metro-politan Area, or at best easternMassachusetts, is of almost no im-portance. The day we returned tothe Institute this fall all the after-noon papers carried banner head-lines announcing a court ruling onthe adoption of a certain "B1abyX." This should have been of im-portance only to Baby x and hisparents, but the affair seemed tobe the most important topic of theday to Bostonians.

By following the local newspap-ers for about six months one canarrive at an int~eresting empiricallaw concerning the frequency ofviolent crimes in :the vicinity. A

Glove Fight Tactics.To Reveal Anatomy'And Soph Ingenuity

ThLe culmination of Field Dayeagerly awaited by all-but the par-tici~pants-is t~he G~love F~ight. In-trepid coeds gather from milesaround to witness the devastation.

Mee reasons for this overwhelm-ing popularity lie deep in the his-tory of the fight and in the rules

,and regulations. The game startsinnocuously enough with freshmen

.and Sophomores lined up on op-posite sides of a football field eachwearing a single glove of distinctivecolor. Barrels are placed in a smallcircle at either end of the field intowhich captured gloves are thrown.The purpose, naturally enough is tocapture as many of the opponents'gloves as possible-preferably morethan are captured from your side.

Soph TacticsSeveral y-ears ago the Sopho-

mores, taking advantage of theirsuperior knowledge of the affair,hid their glove in their pockets.This proved successful for soemetime but led to even "greater" ef-forts to conceal the gloves. In thefrantic search for these elusiveitems clothing Ihas been known to

|mysteriously disappear fromn the{bodies of the men less fleet than|others.

IITwo instances from the dim past|easily recalled by participants andspectators alike are the time a lone,very scantily clothed individualmade the mad dash across Mas-sachusetts Ave., through the hallsof the Institute, and into~the dormsand also the chagrined student cladin a pair of socks and a sweateritied around his waist -who ran, inhis haste to get off the field. fulltilt into a fraternity brother and hisIdate. The question of who wasmost embarrassed has not been de-cided.

2 ~~Soph Ingenluity|A new twist was introduced by

ione enterprising group of Sopho-|mores. In the huddle before theIonslaught a figure walked slowlyIout to the Sophomore group hold-|ing a bushel basket. All the Sopho-more gloves were placed in thebasket and then both basket andman disappeared. The -loves werenever found and the Sophomoreswalked off with the prize withouthalf trying.!The game is well played in a

' gentlemanly manner though, wi th

i the large number of marshals,I judges, referees, umpires, and what-|not provided to keep order, we are! told. The fairness of the contest isseen in the fact theat since its estab-lishment in 1927 the results havebeen split almost equally. The win-ner is awarded three points for theField Day total so get in there andpitch-or do whatever you wish inthe Glove Fight. L

HELP WANT:EDThis is the last call for Field

Day marshals and ushers. Allmen interested get in touchwith Hal Abroms or leave yourname in the M.l.T. AthleticOffice.

Men are needed for the fresh-man and Sophomore Tug-of-War teams. All those interestedmake a beeline for Briggs Fieldat 5:00 p.m. on Monday.

All men interested in posi-tions as intramural managersof basketball, baseball, volley-ball, track, or softball leave yourname and phone number withthe secretary in the A.A. office,third floor of Walker. Monday,October 20, is the deadline forsigning up.

Chaain Letters(Continuzr ed front Page .')

Of course, if there were twelvenames on the list there would be2048 letters with his name at thetop and he could expect to make$2048. The potentialities are enor-mous; with only twenty-one namesone might expect to reap over amillion dollars.

Scheme Evades Old Law

The original chain letters clut-tered up the mails so much thatthere was a law passed outlawingthem. In its new incarniation, how-ever, the letter does not passthrough the U. S. Mails so the lawdoes not apply. The scheme has thesame faults that the traditionalchain letter had in its day. Everydollar that anyone makes indicatesthat another poor, friendless soulwas unable to sell a letter. If every-one who buys a letter manages tosell it within two days, every man,woman, and child in the UnitedStates will have bought a letter be-fore two months have passed. Ac-tually, the time required for tumnover is often a matter of hours sinceeach letter holder will try to regainhis two dollars as fast as possible.

Whatever the merits of thescheme may be, the best way tomake $2000 is to take 11 names atrandom from the Itelephone bookand draw up a list with your ownname as the twelfth. Write an ap-propriate letter and sell it to afriend. If the plan doesn't workquite right and yield $2048 as itought, at least you will have yourfriend's two dollars.

In Season's First GameOn a hot afternoon at Fitchburg

State Teachers College last Wednes-day, the Tech soccer team was suc-cessful in winning its first game4-0. The Beavers played decidedlybetter ball, but al kinks had not asyet been worked out.

After a minute of play, a Fitch- burg player committed a foul in the igoal area, and Dimmi Dimmitriou;put the resulting free shot beyondthe goalie's reach and Tech led, 1-0.|A see-saw battle now ensued withithe Tech halfback line playing ex- cellently.

Football GameTo Be HighlightOf '47 Field Day

Sophs Use Single Wing,

Frosh the Tricky "T"For the Mortal Clash

'Mis yew, as in the years gone by,one of -the highlights of the FieldDay athletics will be the footballgame between the frosh and theSophomores. As usual both teamsbegan their practice with the out-set oxf -the regular school grind andwill continue to work hard right upuntil the whistle opens the gameset for the af ternoon of November 1.

Now, with but two weeks to gobefore the eventful day, -the rivalrybetween the classes of '50 and '51grows. Both teaxns as they runthrough their practice routine eyethe other team from across theboard track of Briggs Field andwonder if the team will be goodenough to capture the coveted classnumerals on November 1. TheSophomores seem sure of ,them-selves since they have gone throughone field day before, while the fresh-men may gain confidence fromtheir high school days spent in justthis type of competition.

Records

Although the regular Field Daywas inaugurated back in 1901 therecords for the football games goback only as far as 1919. In theperiod of time between 1919 and1946 there have been twenty-fivefield day football games played. TheSoph teams have won fifteen ofthese games while the frosh havewon their numerals in six contests.The remaining four games werebattled to tie score at the final gun.This year the freshmen really havea score to settle because the rec-ords show that during the yearsfrom 1937 to 1946 a total of sevengames were played, the Sophomoreswinning five while the other twoended in a draw.I

1946 a Thriller

Last year the football gameturned out to be the big event ofField Day, discounting of course theGlove Fight. At the closing min-utes of the game the gallant fresh-man team was leading the Sophs bythe score of 7 to 6. Quarterback!Dick Van Orden called for a fake'punt on the fourth down with the ball very deep in his own. territory. IVan Orden tried to pass the ball|but was trapped behind the goalline. Van threw the ball but it didnot leave the end zone, thus givingthe Sophomore team an automaticsafety and the two points necessaryto win the game, 8 to 7.

This year the Sophomores areextremely fortunate in having backeight of the first stringers from lastyear and perhaps what is even morefortunate to have Dennis Allegretti|back as the head coach. Those in- cluded in the Soph roster this year|are Bob Snedeker, half back, andBob Geiss, end, the touchdown com-bination from last year. Other menwho will compete again for theirclass numerals are Morton, ILang,Sharp, Caulkins, and Rab. Quartersback Hobie DeStabler, who was notable to play last year because of aninjury to his elbow before Field Day,will be ready to call signals in theevent of November 1, 1947.

Cross Country TeamTakes First 6 Places

The Tech Cross-Country teamcompletely trampled the teams ofHarvard and Holy Cross last Fridayat Franklin Park. The Beaverscompiled the lowest possible scorefor a meet of 15 points. Harvardscored 61 points and Holy Cross 66.

Tech took the first six places andalso the eighth place. Only O'Learyof Holy Cross with a seventh placemanaged to break up the monopolyenjoyed by the Beavers.

Good Season AnticipatedWhen interviewed after last Fri-

day's meet, Coach Hedlund ex-pressed his deep satisfaction withwhat the boys had shown him inthe meet. He expects the team tobeat Tufts and Mass. State in thenext two meets, and gives Tech aneven chance to get by New Hamp-shire the week before the New Eng-land championships. ;n the cham-pionships, however, Coach Hedlund

On Thursday, October 23, the In-stitute Chapter of the Society ofthe Sigma Xi, scientific research so-ciety of America, will sponsor a pulb-

lic address, with demonsstrations, by

Dr. Jiohn R. Dunning of GolumbiaUniversity on "Future Nuclear Re-search."

Dr. Dunning is well known for his

work in (the field of nuclear research.His ability as a speaker has wori

him a high place as an expositoramong scientists. The lecture will

be held at 8:15 p.m. in Huntington

Hall and is open to all interestedpersons.

Tickets for the dinner may be ob-tained -through Professors A. A. Ash-down, 4-415; R. H. Frazier, 4-240;F. W. Sears, 4-354, C. R. Soderberg,3-174; and M. S. Stevens, 5-1165. Theattention of all members of the so-ciety is drawn to both the dinnerand the meeting.

as usual fears Rhode Island State.As for the Intercollegiates in NewYork, the competition down thereis too keen to be able to predict theoutcome yet. But COscar said: "Yes,we have a club this year."

Tie for First PlaceLeading the team across the finish

line were Captain Harold Knappand Oscar Noss, finishing in a deadheat. Knapp is the spiritual leaderand the hardest worker of the team,and he moves his muscle-filled bodywith powerful strides acquired afteryears of training. Noss glides alongthe ground and his thin legs hardlyseem to touch the turf, but onlythrough hard work does he accom-plish this.

"Iron Man" Hank Henze finishedjust a few strides behind the lead-ers. Hank has just finished a seasonas captain of track and is now serv-ing on the AA executive committee.

For fourth place another tie wasrecorded as Sophomores GordonHunt and Paul Lobo ran the racetogether all the way. These twomen are just about what Techneeded to have a good team thisyear and both should have brightfutures as runners.

Veteran Cross-Country runnerFran Jablonski finished sixth. Fin-ishing eighth and rounding off theVarsity for Tech was Sam Hollanda Sophomore.

You probably know a number of men in yourclass who were pilots in the wartime Air Force.They are the best advertisements for the AviationCadet program. Talk with them about it.

Chances are, they'll tell you their service aspilots was one of the most interesting and excitingphases of their lives. Fast action, comradeship,and the chance to serve their country paid themdividends they don't forget . . . added somethingto their stature and poise that they couldn't havegotten anywhere else.

Cadet life today is no different. As a potentialpilot in the new U. S. Air Force, you serve at a timeof equal importance to the nation. Freedom,responsibility, the chance to use your own initiativeare all yours.

The training you get is the finest your govern-ment can provide - $35,000 worth for every Cadet.

You're taught by skilled instructors, fly the bestairplanes. Your living facilities are excellent.

Learning to fly today opens profitable fields toyou in aviation - which is expanding more rapidlythan at any other time in history.

Pilot training is open, now, to single men, 20 to261/2 years old, who have completed at least one-half the credits or a degree from an accreditedcollege or university - or pass an equivalent ex-amination. Cadets completing the course w-ill becommissioned Second Lieutenants, ORC, and as-signed to active duty as pilots with the Air Force.During their tours of duty they will be given achance to qualify for Regular Air Force Commis-sions.

Compton TalksTo Freshmen

President Cites Need

For Close CooperationThe first official freshman gather-

ing, which took place last Friday at

9:00 a.m. in the Armory, was ad-

dressed by Dr. Karl T. Compton,

those who did not attend Frosh

Camp hearing the President of

Technology for the first time. A

crowd of more thon 800 freshmen

heard Dr. Compton call upon "Task

Force '51-Operation M.I.T." to

"subordinate selfish interests" And

cooperate in fulfilling its mission,

which is the advancement of sci-

ence and its practical applications.

To illustrate the need for coopera-tion in an undertaking such as "Op-eration M.I.T.," Dr. Compton re-lated the proceedings of the atomicbomb test at Bikini as well -as of theunderwater test, -where the successof the operation depended largelyupon the cooperation of everyone,particularly the inhabitants of theareas where tests were performed.Having been a member of one of thePresident's boards dealing with theprojects, as well as president of theother, Dr. Compton described theheight -of the "'mushroom" caused|by the underwater explosion as be-Iing 7 or 8 times the height of aship's mast, and gave a detaileddescription of the scene after theblast took place.

The Class of '51, numbering ap-proximately 900, consists for thefirst time since the end of the warpredominantly of civilians. The ex-c ellent turnout at Dr. Comptonl'saddress serves to alleviate the im-pression that such meetings mightbe made compulsory. This., accord-in- to informed sources, might havebeen the case had the attendancenot been as good.
