The MIT Dramashop returns to anactive existence with the forthcomingproduction of Francis Fergusson's

imelodramatic farce "The King and theDuke." The recently reorganizedDramnashop is the oldest of the dramag roups here at Tech with a historythat had produced twenty uninterrupt-ed years of presenting full lengthplays to the public.

The MIT Dramashop w-as organizedin the fall of 1927 under the leader-ship of Prof. Dean Fuller from amonga group of some sixty undergraduateswho had been gathering informally todiscuss and read plays aloud. In De-

mcenber, 927, Eugene O'Neill's "TheHairy A wa.' was presented in what had0riginall- been a foundry laboratoryon Bo0ylsn Street in Boston. For thenext eiev : years the Rogers BuildingConlrlons was the regular theatre forDrarnashb , productions. In April,938, the Dramashop was forced to

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1955

I For il e sixth consecutive year, the M.I.T.-Boston Globe MassachusettsScience Fa i r will take over Rockwell Cage for three days as 275 high-schoolscientists from all corners of the state convene to show their projects to thethousands of yearly visitors and compete for top awards.

Science Fair opens for public inspection Friday, April 29, at 6:00 p.m., andcloses that evening at 9:00 p.m. It is open Saturday, April 30, from 10:00 a.m.to 8:30 p.m. and on Sunday, May 1, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Winners will beannounced at a ceremony in the Cageat 4:00 P.m. Sunday afternoon. D u

Each of the students is already a glas A Eastwinner in his own school's science fair. Over a hundred Massachusetts high R eceives A S M

The Karl Taylor Compton labora-tories will provide a fitting new homefor the research programs in nuclearscience, electronics, and other import-ant related fields at MIT. These labo-ratories will come as a realization ofDr. Compton's hopes that the Insti-tute could find possible an extensionof the research quarters of the GeorgeEastman laboratories. These newlaboratories, he felt, like the Dor-rance laboratories for the depart-ments of biology and food technology,would tremendously benefit the Insti-tute and all its departments.

Current plans call for the start ofconstruction on the Compton labora-tories this summer.

The start of World War It acceler-ated laboratory construction, with theerection of the radiation lab for radarresearch and the Chemical Engineer-ing building. Later Building 24 vas

built with Buildings 22 and 20 follow-ing. In 1945 the radiation lab wasdismantled and MIT acquired Building20 for an electronics and nuclear lab-oratory. Soon after the acoustics lab-oratory moved into the garage ofBuilding 20 and Food Technology awing of the structure.

At this time the need for new build-ings at MIT became apparent. A dis-cussion by Institute officials led to thedrawing up of a list of the Institute'sneeds at that time. Included in thislist were an increased endowment, anauditorium, a chapel and a library. Anincreased fund raising program wasstarted which raised 25 million dol-lars, 5 million more than expected.Despite this large fund not all thebuildings were constructed.

It was seen that Building 20 couldnot be replaced immediately. To re-duce the hazards of dust, heat, and

fire and to make the building moreusable new windows were installed,the building was painted, and otherimprovements were made.

In June, 1954, the Institute hadplans for a Physical Sciences labora-tory. After the death of Dr. Comptonsuch men as President James R. Kil-lian, Jr. thought such a laboratorywould stand as a fitting memorial tothis great scientist and leader.

These men then actively sought aseven million dollar memorial fund tohonor MIT's late president and chair-man. This fund would provide boththe laboratories and the resourcesneeded to assure vigorous programsof research and teaching in nuclearscience, nuclear engineering and elec-tronics which were envisioned and,for so many years, championed byDr. Conmptoln himself.

This fund would provide three mil-lion dollars for the laboratoriesproper, one million for an associatednuclear reactor, and three million tobe designated as unrestricted supportfor this project. This latter sum willprovide a backlog of operating fundswhich would assure that specific grantsfrom industry and government re-search contracts would most fully re-ward the purposes intended by their

Debaters VictoriousThe MIT novice debaters ended

their 1954-55 season in victoriousstyle this past week-end at DartmouthCollege.

The team of Allen Tucker '58 andJohn Griffith '58 on the affirmative andBob Jordan '58 and Alex Bernard '57on the negative took first place witha 9-1 record. This is the second con-secutive year that the MIT team haswon the tournament.

Among the nineteen schools repre-sented were Bates, Vermont, Pitts-burgh, Maine, Smith, Tufts, and JohnsHopkins.

Griffith was awarded fourth placeamong the speakers for the affirma-tive and Jordan w;on third placeamong those on the negative.

Norman Thomas, Socialist leaderand five times candidate for the pres-ident of the United States, still speakat the Institute on Friday, April 29,at 5:00 p.m. in the Kresge Auditorium.Mr. Thomas' lecture, entitled "ThePolitics of Confusion," will be a con-sideration of the present politico-economic situation in America, and anappraisal of our political parties.

Mr. Thomas, who is at present theleader of the Socialist Party in theUnited States, has been an editor,social worker, a pastor, and candidatefor the governor of New York. He isa graduate of Princeton and Union

Theological Seminary and has studiedunder Woodrow Wilson. He has anHonorary Doctorate in Letters fromPrinceton.

Mr. Thomas, the author of manybooks, is at present a columnist forthe Call, a socialist publication. He isa very widely acclaimed speaker andhas been on such radio forums as"Town Meeting of the Air" more thanany other man.

This lecture, the second Mr. Thomashas given on the Institute campus, isbeing sponsored by the Lecture SeriesCommittee. Admission will be free.

Only a smart, well-rowed race by adetermined boat of Engineer J.V.lightweights kept Harvard from a

sweep of the Charles River Champion-ships. The Henley champion light var-sity lost a six-inch decision to theCantabs, in the day's biggest upset.Wind and choppy water marred manyof the races. Only during the finalevent, the varsity heavy contest, wereconditions good.

Harvard drew first blood by taking1the frosh light race by a length. Theirtime was 6:59 for the Henley distanceof a mile and five-sixteenths. Theygot the jump on the start and helda three seat lead as the crews passedWalker. Tech started to move andclosed almost even at Harvard Bridge.The crimson oarsmen won the raceat the sea wall, between the bridgeand Burton House, as they picked uptheir stroke while Tech held it low.

The J.V. lights took an early leadand held it throughout the race. Tak-ing a half-length lead just after thestart, they moved to a length advant-age at the bridge. They fought offtwo Harvard surges and, by overstrok-ing their opponents, finished over alength ahead in 6:57.

The varsity lights rowed their en-tire race at least a stroke and a halfunder Harvard. They took a half-length lead at the start. Harvard,rowing at 33 to their 31 closed it totwo seats at the Sailing Pavilion anddrew even at the bridge. They movedthe stroke up at the sea wvall, gaininga jump on the Beavers and taking aslim half-deck lead at Baker House.Rowing three strokes over at Smith

site of the old Rogers Building. AfterDean Fuller's death in November of1949, the Dramashop became inactive.

Professor Everingham, the new Di-rector of Drama, came to MIT to or-ganize and encourage undergraduatedramatics. He was one of the originalorganizers and performelrs in theBrattle Theatre, and a Fellowship forstudy at the University of Londonbrought him under the tutelage of thefamous Ellis Furmor. While in Europehe traveled extensively, studying Eu-ropean Theatre and did much researchin 19th century drama.

"The King and the Duke" is adaptedfrom the episode in "HuckleberryFin,." Its first performance was in1938 at the Bennington Festivalwhere it met with critical acclaim.The Drarnashop production has theshow's original composer and costumedesigner, Professor Gregory Tuckerand Mrs. Helen Bottomly. Prof. Tuckerhas rewritten the original score es-pecially for this presentation. Thedances are stated by Patricia Lain-bert, and the lighting consultant isMiles Aloraln.

OPEN HOUSE EXTENDED

This Friday, April 29, OpenHouse hours will be extended until3:00 a.m. because of the Dormi-tory Semi-Formal, part of DormWeekend. The deadline Saturdaywill be 1:00 a.m. as usual.

through the mailTo the Editor of The Tech:Dear Sir:

I was interested in your story onAaron Copland's "Canticle."

In it you referred to the passagebeginning "A! fredome is a noblething" as being from an obscure poem.Although the poem is not as famousas The Ancient Mariner or the De-serted Village, it would hardly becalled obscure by anyone who is famil-iar with the history of English litera-ture. The poem from which this istaken is "The Bruce," which runs intwenty books and over 13,500 lines, anarrative poem about that criticalpoint in Scottish history when theDouglas and the Bruce led the fightfor Scottish freedom. It begins withthe death of Alexander III in 1286 andends with the burial of the Bruce'sheart in 1332, and the central episodeis the battle of Bannockburn. It is oneof the best known poems in MiddleEnglish and Barbour was the founderof Scottish poetry, and probably oneof the most voluminous writers inMiddle English.

The particular passage beginning"A! fredorne is a noble thing" is muchquoted and would be likely to be foundin any antiology of quotations.,

Sincerely yours,JOHN E. BURCHARD,

Dean, School of Humanitiesand Social Studies

THE GIFT HORSEMany of our friends will soon be graduating. What kind of

gifts should we give them?Here is no simple question. It is never simple to find gifts for

people who have everything, and college students, as everyoneknows, are the most richly endowed of mortals. They've gotbeauty and truth. They've got rhythm. They've got stout hearts,willing hands, and a clear vision that dispels the miasmas of the

future as the morning sun sears away the last wisps of a coolnight's fog. They've got heaps and heaps of money, as who wouldnot who has been receiving such a huge allowance over fouryears of schooling?

What can we give them that they don't already have ?

One infallible gift for the person who has everything is, ofcourse, a stethoscope. New models, featuring sequined earpiecesand power steering, are now on display at your local surgicalsupply house. Accompanying each stethoscope is a gift card withthis lovely poem:

When you hear your heart beat,When you hear it pound,Remember me, your buddy,William Henry Round.

If, by some odd chance, your name does not happen to beWilliam Henry Round (you're laughing, but it's possible), hereis another dandy suggestion for the person who has everything- a gift certificate from the American Bar Association.

These certificates, good at your local lawyer's, come in threeconvenient sizes: small, medium, and large. The small certificatecovers title searches and writs of estoppel. The medium sizecovers torts, claim jumping, and violations of the Smoot-HawleyAct. The large one covers kidnapping, murder, and barratry.If, by some odd chance, you don't know what barratry is

(you're laughing, but it's possible), it is arson at sea. This inter-esting crime is called after Cosmoo "Bubbles" Barrat, a captainin the British navy during the last century, who was addicted toburning his ships. One man o' war after another fell victim tohis incendiary bent. The Admiralty kept getting crosser andcrosser, but every time they called in Captain Barrat for ascolding, he would roll his big blue eyes and tug his forelock andpromise faithfully never to do it again. Oh, butter wouldn'tmelt in his mouth, that one!

So they would give him another ship, and he would soon reduceit to a scattering of charred spars. He burned more than 120,00(ships before he was finally discharged as "doubtful officermaterial."

After his separation from the navy, he moved to Vienna whenrhe changed his name to Freud and invented Scrabble.

But I digress. I was listing gifts for the person who has everything, and here is another one. This gift, in fact, is not only fo'persons who have everything, it is also for persons who havnothing, for persons who have next to nothing, for persons wh(have next to everything, and for persons in between. I referof course, to Philip Morris cigarettes. Here is the cigarett,for everybody-for everybody, that is, who likes a mild relaxinmsmoke of fine vintage tobacco in a handsome brown packagthat snaps open with the greatest of ease. For those, if suc}there be, who like dull, nondescript tobacco in a package tha;,requires a burglar's kit to open, Philip Morris is definitely th;wrong gift.

Among the newer gifts that warrant your attention is a revolttionary development in the enjoyment of recorded music. Thi,is the Low-Fi Phonograph. The Low-Fi, product of years o:

patient research, has so little fidelity to the record you put or-it that if, for example, you put Stard&st on the turntable.Melancholy Baby will come out. This is an especially welcom(gift for people who hate Stardust.

Finally there is Sigafoos Shaving Cream, a brand new kin(:of cream that makes whiskers grow in instead of out. You just

bite them off in the morning.*~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~t5A .':41. S,;alhX~m .I"'

liRHE 'Y. TIWE by Berthold Lippel '56

Albert Einstein, man and legend,the Newton of our times died lastweek. Quietly and with dignity heparted from a world whose destiny hehad indelibly imprinted with the last-ing power of his ideas.

Albert Einstein was a man of peace.How sarcastic are the bold headlinesthat proclaimed: "Einstein Dies . . .Paved way for A-bomb"! The man ofpeace, eulogized not for the fruit, butfor the poisonous byproduct!

It was not Einstein who paved theroad to the A-bomb. The first stone onthat road was laid one day when Cainraised his hand against Abel. Everygeneration has added to the road, frombow and arrow to the sword, from the

-gun to gas, from napalm to the H-bomb, until the road today has be-

come a smooth and efficient express-way to death for all of us.

It is dangerous to trust a child withmatches. He can burn himself. But hecan also be taught how to use themproperly, how to light a comfortingfire. The moment has come for manto pause producing matches and learnhow to use therh, lest he burn hishouse and himself in it. There is des-perately little time left, less than wecare to admit.

This is the challenge of cur genera-tion. A challenge we cannot avoid. Toclose one's eyes is to close them for-ever. It is a difficult challenge. It re-quires work and thought. It requiressurgery of ideas and feelings. It re-quires strength and purpose. It re-quires love. It requires a new manwithin us.

Albert Einstein is dead. We cannothonor him with speeches. We canhonor him by paving a road awayfrom the bombs. It is the only memo-rial worthy of his genius and of ourhumanity.

In defense of Guiness it should benoted that relative to his other filmsthe supporting cast is unusuallylarge. Guiness, who is quite capableof carrying the ball alone, seems tobe hanmpelred throughout by the num-bers of his cohorts. The cluttered setseemed to limit his ability to whatis probably the poorest pezrformanceof his career.

The film, now showing at the Bea-con Hill Theatre, is accompanied byan interesting documentary on the lifeof Winston Churchill.

A formal dance on Friday nightmarked the start of the annual IFCWeekend. The dance, featulring themusic of Harry Marchard's band, washeld in the main ballhoom of the HotelStatler. Jane Morgan, the "Amelricanfrom Pal-is," provided intermission en-telrtainment. About four hundred andfifty couples attended "FraternityRow's" biggest social event of theyear.

On Saturday afternoon a jazz con-cert was given at the Phi Mu Deltahouse, with music by Carl Michaelsand his five piece band. Following thejazz session, cocktail parties were heldat Pi Lambda Phi, Chi Phi, and DeltaTau Delta.

Saturday evening's entertainmentwas provided by several parties. Theta-Chi presented its Monster Rally,Theta Delta Chi its Outhouse Orgy,and Phi Beta Epsilon held forth atthe Cambridge Boathouse with a Klon-dike Party. These affairs brought to asuccessful climax the events of IFCWeekend,

in baseball no player will make a hitevery time. Even Holly\wood will ad-mit (with a little persuasion) thateven the great pelfolrmels are boundto miss now and then. There are, how-ever, degrees of failure. To borrow alittle baseball jargon, Alec Guiness,in his latest film "To Paris WithLove", has truck out. No ]fits, no runs,and plenty of e rrors.

One man cannot alone be blamedfolr the failure of a team, howevelr.There are such people as scriptwritelrs, dilrectors, and fellow per-folrmers, all of whom must do theirparlt. In this case everybody seemedto pitch right in and do his worst.

The well worn story concerns a manand his son on a holiday in Pal-is.The father (Alec Guiness) is a wealthyScottish vidower with 42 years of ex-perience in life. His son is a youngman of 20 who is to go to service intwo weeks time. This devoted sonthinks his father needs a woman to

Dick Fetter's work as Financial Manager ofthe Department began long before GeneralElectric started building the plant. He andhis group first had to estimate probable op-erating costs and predict whether the plantwould be profitable.

Now, during construction, Fetter's chiefconcern is keeping track of all the expenseson this multimillion-dollar project. Whenthe plant is completed, he will set up acomplete financial section and manageeverything from tax, cost, and general ac-counting to payrolls, budgets and measure-ments, and internal auditing.

Afielder's choice and another Bowdoinerror brought across the remainingtwo runs. The Beavers scored twomore runs in the seventh but the visi-tors came right back to score fourtimes in the top of the eighth on threehits and two walks given up byHauser. The Merrittmen immediatelykilled any hopes the Polar Bears mayhave had by scoring three runs in theirhalf of the eighth on singles by Sulli-van, shortstop Pete Peterson '55, andHauser, along with two bases on ballsand a fielder's choice.

However,arch indentations do appear at sea-level, but these are entirely inaccess-ible unless the student is an apt swim-mer, or comes prepared with water-wings; for a moat encircles our ivorytower. Here surely is the supreme testof religious zeal! Thus, by proxy ofthe form, again is the function carriedout. As for the moat itself, its purposeis at present rather recondite. Pos-sibly a return to the feudal system isdesired. But then, the question arisesas to whether President Killian wouldbe comfortable, and, accessible, atophis coal-black charger, girdl'ed in steelarmor by the edge of the moat.

At the top of this cylindrical tem-ple, another rather esoteric form pre-sides, resembling a rocket-ship, head-ed heavenward. This vessel for outerspace might be very effectively em-ployed in not wafting gently, butforcefully propelling recalcitrant MITstudents into the Empyrean.

In conclusion, if by chance thisgreat architectural advance, seekingperfection in roun'dness (this beingthe closest architecture can presentlycome to the perfect square), does notinspire the students with religiouszeal, it may yet, by its very strang-e-ness of form, further theif enlgineer-ing interests and drive themn to designeven "big'ger and better" chapels ofworship.

Jaramillo won their doubles match,and Hahn and Mendes de Leon de-feated the State of Maine doubleschampions for the deciding match.Bates won the other doubles matchover Moss and Dick Jacobs '56. It isinteresting to note that not one ofthe singles matches took more thantwo sets to complete.

Bowdoin was supposed to be thestrongest of the three Maine teams,and it came as quite a surprise toCoach Jack Summers and the rest ofthe MIT squad as Tech triumphed infive of the six singles matches to as-sure them of victory. Capt. Hahn wasat his best form of the year as hedefeated Bowdoin's Nieman in tworelatively easy sets.

Bowdoin started fast against Techpitcher Al Hauser '55, combining awalk and a double to put men on se-cond and third, but the cool Beavermoundsman pitched his way out oftrouble. Second baseman John Sullivan'56, lead off folr Tech with a single,but the Merrittmen failed to threaten.Neither team threatened in the second,but the Engineers scored their firstrun in the bottom of the third on adouble by catcher Steve Ohlson '56,and two Polar Bear misplays.

tences as undergraduates of TheMassachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy, is here resolved. And what's more-by mere architecture. Students neednot even enter the "pearly gates" forinspiration; simply by gazing uponthis matchless expression of modern-ity such divine phrases as "Oh myGod!" and "Well I'll be damned!" willrise to their inspirited lips!

Moreover, the central position ofthe chapel permits it to be sightedespecially well from the ice-rink andbaseball field, where mundane petti-ness must give way to divine forgivaland benediction. Here, this conspicu-ous exterior may act to furnish addedinspiration to a religious tirade, oreven assuage wrath by its soothingreligiosity.

Judging from the present develop-ment of the building, there does notseemto be any provision for naturallighting. Perhaps utter darkness, in-ducing meditation, will grip the in-terior, symbolizing the ignorance inwhich man's soul is thrashing about.And, after a few moments of thisthrashing about, the darkness willmotivate our logical, expedient MITstudent (and all MIT students ARElogical and expedient) with a desireto come out into the natural light ofGod.

sponsors.Current plans show the 300 foot long

building to be five stories high andhave a "penthouse" on the roof. Alsoincluded in the building will be a lec-ture hall and eight classrooms.

The lecture hall seating 425 willtake the place of room 10-250. Chem-istry and electrical engineering, bothof which are hard-pressed for lecturespace, will move their lectures to 10-250. Seating in the new hall wvill beprovided by tables with two rotatingstools anchored in the floor. This ar-rangement will put an end to climb-ing over other people in getting to aseat in the middle of a row. The hall,although seating fewer than 10-250,will insure complete vision to all on-lookers.

Other features of this ball are airconditioning and provisions for tele-rising lecture demonstrations andother events that take place in theroom. This television service could beconnected to WGBH-TV, brought outto a mobile unit, be connected to ex-isting telephone lines, or brought tothe eight classrooms included in the-Compton building. Adequate lighting,at the proper angles and intensity fortelevision, and possibly a gondola forcameras will be hung from the ceiling.

Early plans of the building did notcall for classrooms, but the plans wXererevised by adding two additional baysto bring the total length to 300 feet.This addition will bring the cost ofthe building to 3.5 million dollars.

The nuclear reactor, provided for byone million dollars in the memorialfund, will be one used both for teach-ing and research purposes. The re-actor plans are in accordance with theInstitute's policies of improving andenlarging the courses and research innuclear engineering and nuclearphysics. After the war these courseslagged because of strict governmentsecurity. Later a course in nuclearengineering was established underProf. Manson Benedict.

The Karl Taylor Compton Labora-tories when completed will place MITresearch programs in a qualified,permanent space designed expresslyfor their needs.
