3 Frat PartiesScheduled ForSaturday Night

Approximately 350 couples dancetonight at the Junior Prom of theClass of '47, held in the ImperialBallroom of the Hotel Statler. Thedance will last until 1:00 ANM.

In addition to the Prom tonight,three fraternity parties are sched.uled for tomorrow evening, withorchestras playing at all of them.These parties are at Chi Phi, 22The Fenway, Phi Kappa, 229 Com-monwealth Avenue, and Phi SigmaKappa, 487 Commollwealth Avenue.Admission will be by ticket stubonly.

Signing of Jimmie Lunceford,whose band is rated one of the bestin the country, promises to makethis year's Junior Prom the biggestsocial event of the season.

The honor of which Jimmie andhis orchestra are most proud isthe winning of Metronome's "A"rating, which has been awarded toonly a very few aggregations,among the others being BennyGoodman, Artie Shaw and GlennMiller, Jimmie attributes his suc-cess to the fact that he has con-centrated on developing the bandas a unit, rather than starring in-dividuals.

Since Lunceford's band rose topopularity in 1934, it has played inballrooms throughout the count;ryand has made numerous record-ings. Among the hits for whichhe is particularly noted are "What-cha Know, Joe," "Tain't What YouDo," and "Blues in the Night."

The infant was borntwo weeks before it was expected,but Dr. Phineas Scrooge, in chargeof the case, has reported that bothmother and baby are doing fine.Thus one of the questions whichhas puzzled Techmen for genera-tions was finally settled--Phos isa woman!

Phosphorus cannot be sure whothe father of her child is.

Tech Dorms Become Co-ed Tech Mann Act

New Activities Planned;Student Morale Rises

CAMBRIDGE, January 18 (FF)--Applying scientific principles tosocial problems, the Institute hasannounced that its dormitories willnow be open to both male and fe-male students. This situation wasbrought about by the sudden influxof girl students entering CourseXXV.

The Dormitory Committee held alengthy meeting last Monday nightin which two barrels of beer wereadopted and the following resolu-tions consumed: (1) interconnect-ing doors between rooms in Wal-cott, Bemis, and Goodale will be

'sealed shut for the protection ofthe male students. (2) rooms willalternate with men and women,thereby assuring even distribution.(3) the letters WO must be addedon to the alternate doors alreadymarked MEN, also assuring evendistribution.

Climaxing the one week trial ofcoed dormitories, the inquiring re-porter of The Tech interviewed sev-eral dorm men with the question:"What do you think of having girlsin the dormitories?" Here are afew of the answers: E. G. Beaver,2-4T-"Hubba-hubba!" Aloysius A.Weirdwun, 10-46,-"I think it's agreat thing except that the queernoises in the next room keep meawake at night." Cecil B. Bagger,'49,--'Oh, I think it's thimply tew-wible. If there's anything that an-noys me, when I'm trying to study5.01, it's the pitter-patter of highheels outside my door and thesound of low laughter."

Progress MadeHearing reports that remarkable

- progress was being made in havingboys and girls do their homeworktogether, and that many newformulae were being developed, thestaff of The Tech hooked up amicrophone to the underside of thewashbasin in Munroe 606, con-nected to The Tech office, to findout just how these formulae wereevolved. We reprint here some ofthe notes taken by our stenog-rapher, S. Z. "Cuddles" Bakal.

"Why hello, Gloria. Are you readyto continue our experiments?"

eighth time already, and it's get-ting tiresome."'

"Don't worry. I think this'll bethe last time. We're sure to get ourresult tonight."

"Well, O.K., but this is definitelythe last time. I've got other home-work to do, you know. Have you gotthe equipment?"

"Yeah, sure."(A few minutes silence.)"Are you ready? Well, let's go

then."(More silence.)"There, I knew it, Gloria. The

time is inversely proportional tothe frequency."

"That's good, but don't you thinkthe coefficient of friction is in-volved some way?"

"I don't know. We'll try againand see."

(Still more silence.)"Eureka, we've got it! This'll

revolutionize all previous concep.tions."

At this time the loudspeaker atThe Tech office went dead, andunable to resist finding out whatthis amazing discovery was, we allran up to Munroe 606. Bursting inwe asked what the discovery was."Should I tell him, Gloria?" "Sure,go ahead, Wally; he's bound toread it some day in Sears anyway.""O.K., here it is ... for every actionthere is an equal and opposite re-action."

Question of the week: "What doesWalker do with the large half ofthe grapefruit?"

Angers JFratsHouses To Be MinusFemale Companionship

CAM;BRIDGE, January 18 (FF)-Fraternity men from M.I.T. to Slip-pery Rock Teachers were up inarms today as a result of the newTech I.F.C. non-importation regu-lation. The new rules announcedyesterday by the I.F.C. have beenbranded by the Beacon Street boysas "The M.I.T. Mann Act." TheI.F.C. counters that it is about timethat something be done to smashthe white slave traffic.

The hateful legislation that hasso disturbed the lives of our fratmen was announced yesterdayafter a torrid session of the Council.The principal points of the edictare as follows: (1) No person orpersons of the female sex, nor any-one suspected of being female, willbe permitted on the premises ofthe Institute fraternity houses ex-cept at such times and under suchconditions as are enumerated in alater section. (2) At all times whenfemales are present in the houses,it is required that there be inattendance in every room in whicha female guest is seated, standing,or otherwise disposed, a femalechaperone, unmarried, and mini-mum age 50. (3) Females will bepermitted in the houses under thefollowing circumstances: Betweenthe hours of 4:00 P.M. and 5:30P.M. on Mondays, Thursdays andSaturdays; they must not go abovethe basement floor except as naturemay require; the above describedchaperone must always be inattendance.

Reaction to these rulings waswidespread, as the news was spreadwide. President McFifi of Bettersleyasked, "Where will decent Betters-ley girls spend their weekends·now?" Normal Dutchman, dormi-tory big-wig, after long sufferingunder even more stringent dormrules was heard to say, "This willmean the end of fraternities atM.I.T. They have been bereft oftheir last attraction. At last all thehouses -will be available for use asparts of the new and greater co-educational dormitory system." Aninformal meeting of the IF.B.A.(Interfraternity Bar, Beer, Belles,Broads, and Boogie Woogie Associa-tion) passed a resolution that "wewill fight this odious thing 'tilthe last on the bbaches, in thestreets, from the housetops, andwill never submit, even if we haveto go to Harvard to escape it."

Tech Students Hold Walkout;Soup Kitchen T

Keeping in step with the times,the students of M.I.T. have goneout on strike, refusing to appearat any classes whatsoever, there-fore resulting in professors havingtheir own private bull sessions. Con-cerning the effect the strike willhave on the country, Secretary ofLabor Swollenback announced,"The M.I.T. student strike willcause an acute shortage of scientistsin this country and can only leadto the return of the caveman."

In regard to the progress of thestrike itself, school officials ex-pressed high hopes that it wouldcontinue for a few more days, butit was doubted that students couldbear to remain away from theirstudies so long.

Government authorities a r emaintaining a strict hands-off pol-icy because of the depth and com-plexity of the issues in question.

A sidelight event caused by thestrike is the opening of a soupkitchen in Walker Memorial to takecare of hungry pickets. The ironyof the situation is that with eachbowl of soup that each striker re-ceives at Walker he is given a TauBeta Pi Key.

THE LIDS OFFThe dog is in the manger, the cats in the bag, something

smells in Denmark and all Hell's breaking loose. All the inhibi-tions, the conventions that have bound us in the past, the re-gards for the niceties and the Dean's Office have been swept intoa pile and buried in a hole in Building 9. The hidden spark ofcreative genious, at times almost stifled by the continual perusalof such items as "Ross R. Graves, '46 has been judged the manmost likely to succeed Titschmarch by the M.I.T. chapter ofthe Royal Second Order of Dis-Intergraters. There are at pres-ent three members of the Society and great hopes are held forfuture expansion. It is expected that the selection will meetwith no more than the usual amount of opposition from the re-actionaries on The Institute Committee." Constant repetitionof such gems has dulled the sense and abilities of our embryonicSteinbecks. Frustration was rampant, and neurosis flour-ished.

To combat this subtle poison, known in the Greek as hack-or dog-work, the opportunity of the Prom was seized with mad,almost hysterical joy, as a chance to blow off a few thousandcubic feet of steam (S.T.P.) which have accumulated in oddcorners of the paper's collective cranium. This outburst hasswept away cobwebs, long unmolested in print and will un-doubtedly (it always does) raise the temperature and the cen-ter of gravity of some.

According to tradition, be it known that this issue travelsunder the name of Fido-Facts and Fiction, and that all recordedherein, except as noted, are the complete and utter children-ofthe imaginations of sundry and assorted members of the staff.Psychologists would call it an escape mechanism but all agreeit is a welcome change.

In recognition of the similarity between our state andthat of the chaotic and puzzled world we hereby dedicate thisissue to all those who are frustrated, all those who are stirredby strange longings and hidden doubts, those who wondersometimes in the night. An occasional rebellion is good forthe soul and refreshes the sense of humor.

In TheAfter a long and grueling period

of espionage and counter-espionageactivities in Phosphorania, the for-eign service of The Tech has un-covered many amazing and hereto-fore unknown facts about the headof the Mangy Board of the M.I.T.comic (we blush with shame) mag-azine. Yes, Howhard V. (for ven-omous) Pulmotor, is not the young,naive, innocent that the staff ofVoo Doo would have you believingbelievers believe. So, without fur-ther fiddle faddle we will relate thetruth in this daring and unprec-edented expose as it was cabled tous straight from our Phosphores-cent, or rather Phosphoranian cor-respondent.

How was not born; he was whit-tled from a piece of petrified woodby Mr. Gepetto who has been on aweek-long binge, and was just re-covering from the effects. After onelook at How it is obvious that pinkelephant4 and green dragons musthave had some influence on his cre-ation. Sin started for him almostas soon as the last shaving fell fromMr. Gepetto's stiletto, for he imme-diately seduced the marionette onthe shelf beside him.

CAMBRIDGE, January 18 (FF)-In a surprise release last nightfrom the office of the Office of thePresident, it was announced tomor-row that next term's entering classof the Institute would contain 25or 30 Conover Models.

The girls will be guests of theInstitute on full-tuition scholar-ships (plus $100 per term forpersonal expenses). This action wasprompted several weeks ago whenquite a few of the lovelies took I.Q.tests in New York and were foundto rate much higher than the aver-age college student.

WholesomeTherefore in a secret meeting

held December 31, between Presi-dent Compton, VicePresident Kil-lian, Deans Lobdell and Pitre, andseveral of the beauties with "higherscores," it was decided that theConover models would be "whole-some, intellectual additions to theTechnology family."

The announcement has broughtprompt reaction: 25 cronies havefiled a complaint that such an addi-tion to the student body would bea real detriment to the pleasantatmosphere that the Institute nowpossesses.

B1 Causes Weinerto Lose 19 Pounds

Professor Norbert Wiener, notedmathematician and savant, statedin a recent interview that the mil-lions of innocent laymen who spendtheir hard earned money on vita-min pills are being duped and de-ceived.

Vitamins, he says, are not onlyuseless but definitely detrimentalto good health, and besides theymight make you sick. ProfessorWiener bases his observations onpersonal experimentation with thepills over a period of three weeks.At the end of this period ProfessorWiener had lost 19 pounds, was con-siderably weaker, could no longersee in the dark, and was consider-ing reading Paul de Kruif's newbook, "The Male Hormone."

Appeals have already been re-ceived from several professors'wives not let their husbands teachM-11 and 8:01 next term. The T.C.A.is already planning a refreshercourse in these subjects for coeds.The Coop has announced that thegirls will model Phillips' Differen-tial Calculus starting March 1st.

The M.I.T.A&A. announced todaythat Frank Leahy had been signedto a 131/2 year contract as headfootball mentor at the Ifistitute.The move came as a complete sur-prise to most sports analysts, al-though reporters .from The Techhad gotten wind of the affair manyweeks ago.

This heralds the return of Techto the football wars as a first ratepower to be reckoned with. Offershave already been received fromthe "Big Ten" to make M.I.T. thetenth member of the loop, but noaction has been taken in that direc-tion as yet.

The bookies havebacked up the Cadets' coach by in-stalling M.I.T. as 23 point favorite,with few takers as yet.

Coach Leahy is expected to takeover the reins here on or aboutMarch 1, at which time he will issuea call for spring practice. Assistantcoaches Fella Gintoff and Alex-ander Magoun will be on hand tolook over the prospects for nextseason.

Durgin-Park Plans Radiations SaleTo Open Branch To Charge HomOn Carleton Site

To Handle 3000 Daily;Special Feature Is $5.00Meal Ticket For $6.00CAMBRIDGE, January 18 (FF)-

In a special interview for "TheTech" last night Mr. William C.Haberer, manager of the Durgin-Park Restaurant, revealed plans forthe extension of his organization'sservices to the public. Included inthese plans is the opening of abranch restaurant near Teldhnology.

The proposed site for the newbranch is the premises now occu-pied by the Carleton Cafeteria onthe corner of Main and CarletonStreets. Mr. Haberer intends tohave the premises completely reno-vated and enlarged. Accommoda-tions will be provided for approxi-mately 3000 customers per day.

Mr. Haberer expects that withsuch a large volume of customers,the majority of which will 'be fromthe Institute, he will be able tooffer meals the quality and pricesof which will be more satisfactorythan those now obtainable. Menuswill be changed from day to dayand special rates will be instigatedfor regular customers in the formof $6.00 tickets which will buy $5.00worth of food.

The atmosphere will be condu-cive to enjoyable eating. Leatherupholstered booths and soft light-ing are expected to contributetowards the comfort of the patrons.The waitresses will be all hand-.picked models and hostesses witha basic understanding of Engineer-ing will be provided for lonelyTech men.

It can safely be stated that theopening of such a modern eatingestablishment near the Institutewill have a great effect on thevolume of business of WalkerMemorial. Institute officials wouldmake no statements when ques-tioned by representatives from"The Tech."

Wavelengths To ActAs Basis For PricesLee Du Pont, head of the Rad

Lab, has announced the forthcom--ing auction sale of surplus radia-tions. During the course of its war-time activities the Lab accumulateda tremendous over-supply of radia-tions, spectra, and deuterons, forwhich it had no use. These werestored under the mysterious domesatop the lab, but will now be re-leased for sale to the generalpublic.

Expected to go at special bargainprices will be an assortment ofRadar'scope images of the city ofBoston. Radiations on sale will varyin wave length from 10 to the nthto 10 to the -e Angstroms and areof frequency as often as they feellike.

The lab has not been able todetermine just what these rays canbe used for, but every sample willbear a. certificate signed by Presi-dent Compton stating that it isa genuine radiation produced rightat the Institute. It has been sug-gested that rays might be used bypurchasers to reduce the cost ofrunning their homes. All the wagesformerly paid Mrs. Calibash for theperformance of many householdtasks can be saved by use of radia-tions for such things as pushing upthe next Kleenex, starting up theelectric clock when you put theplug back in, determining for youwhich shoe to take off first, andenabling you to tell whether it'sthe front door, the 'back door, thetelephone, the clock, or your earthat's ringing. And don't forgetthat with every purchase of 2000milli-microns or 2x10 to the eighthquanta of rays, radiations, waves,or used thermionic tubes, a radlab secretary's telephone numberwill be provided free.
