Delivery ofthese rings to Juniors will be madejust -before they leave for the sum-mer vacation. The decision to de-lay delivery until then was madein an effort to get aback to the pr4-war custom ot having only oneclass at a time wear Senior Rings.

As usual the rings -will be manu-factured by the L. G. Balfour C~om-pany, but this year's prices havebeen raised somewhat. New pricesare as -follows:

REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISINO 61Y

National Advertising Servce, Inc.College Publishers Representative

420'MADISON AVE. NEW YORK. N. Y.CHICAGO * BO0STON ' LOS ANGELES - SAN FRANCISCO

For a long, long time, the activities lof the AdvisoryCouncil on Athletics at M.I.T. have been shrouded by an ironcurtain of mystery. To date, very few students, or evenfaculty members know what really occurs at the monthly pmeetings of the Council. If the truth were known, it would Timmediately be evident why so little of the Council's doings Sare publicized. s

The Advisory Coulncil is ~composed of -five Alumni members (Iand three undergraduate members, each of whom has one nvote. In theory and in practice, this body has the final say diover undergraduate athletics at-Te~chn-ology.. This situation, ciin itself, is bad enough, bus it is aggravated greatly by the efact that there is one man who, in practice, has almost com- S

plete control in the Council. This virtual- dictator of athletics teat the Institute is Ralph T. Jope, secretary of the Council. :.

Why so much power is concentrated in the hands of one Siindividual can easily be seen upon examination of the re Ymainder of the Council members. Other than, Mr. Jope, thetwo mainstays of the organization are Mr. Harry Worcesterand Dr. John Rockwell, the chairman. These three men, for -all practical purposes,- are life members, for they are- voted I'

back into office every three years. Because of their alreadyclong-te'rm membership ton the Council, M~essrs. Jope,- Worcesterand Rockwell, the chairman., hold the reins of power. The two younger alumni members apparently ride along with theolder men, and consequently, the undergraduate member sxrarely get anyw"here with attempts to oppose this for midablearray of plower.,

Upon further examination, it would appear'that the views of Dr. Rockwell and Mr. Worcester coincide' with those of tMr. Jope. Because of the many outside interests of theselatter two men. and because their ideas have 'been rather eicrystallized withi the passage of time, they do little more than approve the legislation instituted by- 'Mr. -Jope. Thuls, it -israther obvious that Mr. Jope runs the- show.'

The faults of this, system are many. 'First of all, he aundergraduates have entirely too little-voice in the matter iof athletics. For example, when a committee was to be -ap-pointed to form a priority list for temporary structures to house sathletics Dr. Rockwell duly singled out Mr. Jope, M~essrs, Jester;and Garth (the two younger alumni members) and JackLehmann, head of the A.A. The influence of Lehmanln, thensole undergraduate, certainly will be quite small.

It would seem, furthermore, that a Council, meeting butonce a month, is insufficient to handle efficiently the huge jobof a growing athletic program, particularly when none of theamembers is devoting all his interest to the matter. What weswould propose, then, is to institute a system similar to tha~tfwhich has worked so well in so many other colleges.b

This system is to create the new position -of a Graduate 'Manager of Athletics. He would be a trained man in the field, ,working full time, supervising and coordinating the M.I.T.A.A.and the Advisory Council. This would remove a great dealof power from the latter bo~dy, and place it in the handsrof a person much more capable of -handling such a job. Onlyin this manner can the status -of athletics at Technology beeraised to its riahtful position, that of becoming an integral parttof the educational system. INSTRUCTOR RATING -AN ESSAY IN EDUCATION

The Instructor Rating Survey, which has been conductedtin the Course X Department during the past week by members of the Institute's chapter of Tau Beta Pi, has apparently beenireceived with favor and a true spirit of cooperation by both faculty and students. That, in itself, is most gratifying. I

The idea of holding this -survey was conceived at a recent national conference of the T~au Beta Pi Fraternity, an honoraryorganization for the promotion of good scholarship. Membersof the local chapter approached Dr. Compton who declaredhimself wholeheartedly in f avor~of the idea. Since it appeared too difficult to give all students a chance to rate their instruc- tors, the Chemical Engineering Department was chosen quitearbitrarily as representative fof the student body. The facultyof the department was then canvassed and found willing tosubmit itself to the criticism of its students. Tau Beta Picarried on from there.

-,The procedure used for the actual survey guaranteed abso-lute anonymity for the student. Only in this way could objectiveviews be forthcoming. The points on which the instructorswere rated were well-chosen and the results should give agood all-round impression of how -well the professors are suc-ceeding in getting subject matter across to their classes. As thequestionnaires will not be turned -over to the instructors untilthe beginning of next term, the results of this. experiment inprogressive education will not be apparent for awwhile.c Itseems almost certain, however, that the faculty of the..ChemicalEngineering D~ebartment will be -influenced by the -opinionsof its students.I

Recently, the Harvard Crimson.published comments by metropoli-tan Boston college co-eds on the

legalization of fraternization of

American soldiers with the frau-leins cross the sea. Miss M~ary

Kindig, '48, pert Pine Manor stu-

dent, entertained the followingview: "Can't they wait until theyget home? There are three millionextra women in the States rightnow, and I am one of them." JaneD~eBeer of Wellesley expressed a

more sophisticated comment: "Theyhaven't got -anything that wehaven't got -they simply have gotmore of 'it."X Ex-WAC NastalthiaSmythe Heatherstone, Radcliffe, '44,was comiple~tely _incoherent: 'Smutnatch, I mean after all, I-meanreally. -BWat am I supposed to do

LAMass StAte Collegian reported

on hearings to expand the educa-'tion facilities into a university. In

answer to a-stunning proposal by

one speaker that the University ofMass. be. established in Framing,ham, while the present state college

be turned into a school for feeble-minded chlldren, a Collegian re-

porter -overheard Professor Randz

remark to professor -van Meter:"Good Heavens, I thought wevre

We feel that the younger gener-ation is growing up too rapidly. Tosupport our hypothesis we offer thefact that recently;- scribbled on aboard fence, we saw: "Jane L. hasan emotional attraction for JohnnyB."**

Wellesley is the next best thingto Heaven, but Heaven is easier toreach.

Hitherto, Techmen have never given been a chance to lettheir mentors know personally how much they were gettingout of a course. The grade system seems pitifully inadequatein this respect. Good grades do not necessarily reflect goodclass presentation~of subject matter but are ofteni <.he result ofsleepless nights and much-maligned "browvn-bagging." Pro-fessors often do not realize that the' bulk of their class is notable to understand a point they are trying to make. Questionsare not asked for fear of displaying ignorance. Some instruc-tors are impatient with their students and-can not appreciatetheir point of view on a problem. Some lack poise and lose theinterest and i'ndeed admiration. of their class through certainacti-ons. Those, who .can't make. otherwise dull subjects a little.more interesting fin-d their class apathetic.

lSurely no human. being is perfect or is expected to be.iMost students appreciate their; faculty and- are not likely tohold the idiosyncrasies of their~various mentors against them.A step forward will be made,,however, if the latter can beacquainted, with what the students think of their teaching

This article is presented by TheTech to answer questions of thestudent's regarding the new courseat Technology, Course XIV, Eco-nomics and Engineering. In gen-eral, the course is popularly re-garded as being designed for thosestudents that are so frustrated byNewton, Faraday and Co. that theycan't even cope with Course XV,or for reluctant engineers thatreally should be in the ivory towersup the river. A fine way to suicideis to suggest these impressionswhile in the office of the Registrar,Professor Ralph E. Freeman.

As the name implies, the purposeof the course is to provide a basictraining in economics and engineer-ing. The course is designed forthose planning to become staff ex-ecutives in the economic, personnel,statistical or other departments ofa business, governmental, or labororganization, as well as for thosewho will go on to graduate in eco-nomics in preparation for teaching.In the past such persons have typ-ically come into their professionfrom the liberal arts colleges. Thiscourse offers the engineeringapproach. The student will beequipped to use the methods of

exact science in the analysis ofeconomic and social problems.

Students have -their choice oftwo options: Human Relations, orIndustrial Economics. The first isplanned to help students to beeffective in relations with theirsuperiors, associates, and subordi-nates. It therefore includes suchsubjects as Advance Psychology,Labor Relations, and Managementof People. The second option pro-vides an understanding of the func-tioning of our economic institu-tions. It therefore includes suchsuxbjects as Industrial Economics,Banking and Finance, and Pricesand Production. In both optionsprofessional electives in the fourthyear afford an opportunity to pur-sue further study in these andrelated fields.

On the engineering side thestudent will elect one of three pro-grams of coordinated subjects inMechanical Electrical, or ChemicalEngineering.

The course leads to a degree ofBachelor of Science in Economicsand Engineering. At the presenttime there are six students enrolledin the course.

Inst. Comm.(Continued from Page I)

The constitution of the CombinedProfessional Societies was sub-mitted to take the place. of theold one which has recently beenrevised.

At the beginning of the meeting,a note of warning was sounded byKenneth A. Marshall, '47, chair-man of the Budget Committee,who advised the activities to plantheir social affairs carefully duringthe coming term to avoid losingmoney. There are so many socialevents scheduled already, Marshallstated, that students will find itharder and harder to dig up enoughcash to participate. As a case inpoint, he cited the Cain-TechyCarnival which, although receivinga great deal of publicity, neverthe-less lost $100 instead of earningthat amount as had been antici-pated.

After -passing a quasi-unanimousresolution to request the T.C.A. topost installmients of the "SteveCanyon" comic strip, the InstituteCommittee adjourned until nextterm.

Talk Sunday To BeOn Jet Propulsion

a "Jet Propulsion and Jet Propul-sion Enginess will be the subject of

1the second of the Society of Arts:.Popular Science Lectures at theM.I.T. on Sunday, January 19th,when the speaker will be Dr. Glenn

C. Williams, Associate Professor ofitChemical Engineering.lAfter describing the basic prin-

sciples of j et propulsion, Dr. Williamswill discuss the early history of jet

ipropulsion devices, including rock-ets, as well as air-breathing types.

,He will also speak on recent de-,velopments and applications, in-,eluding missiles and aircraft, -andcompare -L-he performance of speed

1Iranges of the various types. In ad-dition to explaining some of the

,problems to be solved in jet pro-,pulsion, Dr. Williams is expected tospeak about future applications of

. jet power.rThe third of the Society of Arts

LPopular Science Lectures will be,given by Professor Antoine M.,Gaudin, Richards Professor of Min-eral Dressing, who on Sunday, Feb-

.ruary 16 will speak on "Getting theMost Out of a Mineral".

Architecture(Continued fromn Page 1)

Houses of the New Rtepublic, GreekRevival, Gothic Revival, Eclectic,and Modernl. Each section of theexhibition is introduced by a shortexplanatory paragraph which con-stitutes a brief history of Americanarchitecture of the last 300 years.

The exhibition opens with mapsand drawings of the importation of17th century European buildingforms and their adaptation tochanges in climate, materials, etc.in the new world.

Eighteenth century houses show7the developing colonial style in va_ rious parts of the country. Four leading architects, McIntire, Bul-finch, Jefferson and Latrobe, werechosen to represent the transitionfrom colonies to Republic. Aftertracing over 19th and 20th centurystyles the photographs return to Richardson, Sullivan and Wright,the forerunners of the most crea-tive contemporary architecture. Thelast panels are devoted to a sectionof houses of the past decade. C

Alumni Swimming Pool was citedas an example of the lack of gen-eral interest in sports. Becauseof this, suggestions have been madeto include a compulsory athleticprogram in the Institute's curricu-lum. Personally, however, Dr.Baker questioned the advisabilityof compulsory participation in ex-tra-curricular affairs.

In closing, Dr. Baker praised thework of MI.I.T.V.A.'s Civic AffairsCommittee. This Committee hasbeen responsible for such things asthe debate on universal militarytraining held here in December. Dr.Baker expressed the hope that theinfluence of this Committee willcontinue long after all veteranshave left Technology in the formof a permanent "student forum."Such an organization, he said,might be modeled on the famousOxford Union, which conducts con-tinuous debates among students ofOxford University on vital issuesof the day.

Retiring president Vincent L.|McKusick, '47, presided over themeeting. Before a vote was taken foreach office every candidate statedhis record in M.I.T.V.A. workand presented his views for thefuture improvement of the asso-ciation. Among the members alsonominated for offices were: PaulC. Johnson, '49; Harold R. Hirsch,'47; James A. Levitan, '47; HermanA. Allen, '50; Harold B. Abromson,'48; Ralph L. Evans, '48; and Don-ald L. Pearson, '49.

A report on the practicability ofa hospitalization insurance planwas presented to the group. Theadvantages and responsibilities ofthe Blue Cross plan were discussed,and a motion was passed to ap-point a committee for further studyof the program.

Watson, Haddox,Ciccone StarFor Fifth WinWalker Gym was the scene of

Tech's fifth victory in eight starts,as the Beavrer quintet compiled 71,points in defeating NortheasternUniversity on Wednesday evening.The highest scoring game of thesea-son for the Tech five came witha wide distribution of scoring hon-orsevery Tech player contributingto the final score.

Captain Doug Watson not onlyplayed his best gamne of the sea-son, with startling displays of de-ception and ball handlinlg, but alsoswished with 12 points for Beaverhigh scorer. Roy Haddox, with hisdeadly one hand push shots, GabeCiccone, and Lou Morton also builtup the 20 point margin of victorywith 11, 10 and 9 points respectively.

Northeastern gained an earlylead in the game by a fast breakwhich, however, slowed down con-siderably as the game progressed.Tech came back late in the f irstperiod with Ciccone and Wats-onplacing the Beavers ahead by ascant 4 points as the half ended 32to 28. Morton controlled -the de-fensive boards for Tech as the gamesee-sawed in the ~balance with bothteams displaying a loose man toman defense throughout the firsthalf. Forward 'Roy Haddox, whothree times has scored over 20points for the Beavers, found hisshots missing time and again -whilethe taller Northeastern team wasable to work effectively in re-trievinlg the lost shots.

The second half saw an entirelychang~ed Tech team breakingthrough the N.U. defense to quickly take a 10 point lead. With the ad-ditional height of Heuchling andMadden bolstering our strengthunder the boards, the team showedthe pep and confidence which ithas never shown before. Trhe hap-less N.U. Huskies found the Techscnore going further and furtherfrom their grasp despite the factthat~- Coach Jarnes McCarthy sent,in many second and third stringiglen 'to complete the game.I

Mlec~im & TsotsiAid Short-HandedSquad In 3rd Win

With spectacular goal tending byJack Adams and a spirit of victoryunmatched so far this season,Tech's hockey squad defeated ahighly favored Northeastern sextet,7-5, on Wednesday evening at theBoston Arena. Shorthanded andtired from a lashing 12-1 defeat atthe hands of B. C. the previousnight, the Beavex sextet ralliedaround Adaans, -and consistentlyturned back Husky attacks.

When Gerry Wal-worth, the thirdmember of the starting team to betaken ill, was rushed to the hos-pital with appendicitis the eveningof the game, Coach Carvelli's squadwas left with but four substitutes.Undermanned two to one, theBeavers fought consistently to turnpersistent Northeastern attacksinto effective counterattacks. Row,Burdakin, and Willard all scoredtheir first goals, while regulars Clif-ford, Tsotsi, and McKim led theteam as it ran its record to threewins, two losses.

After Captain Clifford had tiedan early Northeastern goal with ahard, high shot from the blue line,the game fluctuated with the en-tire emphasis on attack.

In the second period Adams wasamazing as he turned back twentydrives at the net, allowing only onedeflected shot to pass him. Mc-Kim's and Tsotsi's spirited backchecking were Adams' only aid asthe Huskies sent wave after waveinto Tech territory attempting tomnakie-up the deficit.

In the last minutes of play the |

Northeastern squad -expected the IBeavers to collapse momentarily,5but each Husky score was matched 2by a Tech goal. Finally, in despera-tion, the losers put six forwards onthe ice, to throw everything atAedals but the goalie and the clockwhich ran out on them.I

Although the over-all supervisionof athletics here at Tech has beenvested by the Corporation in theAlumni Advisory Council on Ath-letics, present indications wouldseem to reveal that the Instituteis now inclined to take this matterin its own hands. Reasons have notbeen given for this change in policy,but the seeming lack of progressby the Council in the past severalyears may be behind this move.

Dr. Everett M. Baker, the newDean of Students, in an interviewwith the Boston Traveler on lastMonday, stated "that the supervi-sionl, in general, of anintr-muraland int~er-mural athletics program,to be greatly expanded in the fu-ture, will be one of his most im-portant jobs."

But the Corporation and mem-bers of the administration are notthe only ones who have -evidencedthe realization that somethingshould be done concerning -thismatter. The Institute committee,has appointed an eight man com-mittee to study the organization ofthe Athletic Association and tomake a general survey of the rela-tion between the athletic and edul-cational programs. This committeewill, among other -things, take intoconsideration the position ofAlumni Adlvisory Council. Membersof this committee include Jim Gold-stein, Chairman, Jack Lehman,John Taft, Bob McBxide, Norm Hol-land, Chuck Miller, Jim Phillips,and Bud Bryant. This committeehas had frequent meetings, andtheir report is expected to be givento the Institute Committee soon

1after the start of the new term.This re~port has received addi-

tional significance due to the factthat the Administration, and espe-|~cially Dean Baker, has expressedIa desire to read the report and itsEconclusions. Leaders of studentIactivities attended an informalsupper at, Dr. Compton's home onlast Sunday evening and receivedan inside view of the Institute'splans. After the supper, Dr. Comp-ton spoke to the student leaders,and interested faculty memberswho attended, on the general topicof the place of an athletic programat the Institute.

An interesting feature of Dr. Baker's statement was the fact thatIemphasis was placed not only oll inter-collegiate sports, but on theintramural phase of student ath-

Still smarting under its initial21-6 defeat at the hands of Harvard,a resurgent Tech wrestling teamtook a spirited Tufts team to themat and came up with a decisive21-11 win at Cousens Gymnasiumat Tufts on Saturday, January 11.

Tech's 121-pounder, Deptuls,quickly chilled the ardor of theopposition's capacity crowd in pin-ning Sawyer of Tufts in 4:15.Knodel of Tech, in the 128-poundclass, followed suit in putting theshoulders of Levy to the mat after8:50, with only 10 seconds remain-ing. Deval lost by a fall to Tufts'captain, Bordne, in the 136 poundclass.

Coach Meyerson intends to usethe coming month before the meetswith Amherst and Brown in polish-ing the rough edges off the Techteam. In three classes, the 121, 165,and 175, the Beaver varsity isalready strong and is potentiallystrong in all the others. In theopinion of the team and CoachMeyerson, the Engineers stand aneven chance of taking the NewEngland Intercollegiate Title.

Surprisingly enough, the fresh-man team has not had very muchsupport from the class of '50. Inorder to be able to enter a freshmanteam into competition, men axe stillneeded in the 121, 128, 136, and 145classes especially; however, allfreshmen are urged to come outfor the team. The team practices

The Bell System aims to keep the opportunity for advancementopen to all.

One of its traditions is that its executives come up from theranks. That has been true of the business for many years andnowhere is it better illustrated than in the careers of the menwho now serve as presidents of Bell Telephone Companies.

As a group, they have put in 611 years of telephone service, anaverage of 36 years each.

The Beaver medley-relay team ofBen Dann, Henry Morgan, andGeorge Loomis swept- to victory inthe initial competition of the meet,with a time of 3:17.9 minutes. BothMorgan, a breaststrokek, and Dann,a backstroker, have been consist-ently whittling down their timesas the season has progressed, witha resulting improvement in themedley clocking.

letics. Many people believe thatexpansion of sports here at Techis definitely limited in the collegefield.

Intra-mural sport and athleticprograms have usually beenhandled by the Beaver Key Society.Although the quality of this super-vision has at times appeared veryspotty, this type of activity hasmet with a moderate success. Owingto the fact that this type of sportsrequires little practice and no fixedtimes for the games, it could, underproper conditions, become an im-portant part of the official Institutesports program. In conjunction withthis should be considered the widerpopularity of the Field Day activi-ties, in some aspects, than somevarsity sports.

Taking in the over-all view, itwould appear that positive actionwill be taken. Just how Doon is notknown, but one cannot expecteither immediate or hurried actionon these vital aff airs. However, withthe forthcoming report of the Ath-letic Association Study Committeeand with Dr. Baker taking an in-terest in Athletics the student bodycan look forward to favorablechanges.
