The MIT ImageProbably most freshmen come to
MIT with some idea of the Tech 'image.'Many of them think this image is astandard of conformity. Nothing couldbe farther from the truth.
An MIT 'image' may exist in theminds of some parents and high schoolteachers and even businessmen; but alittle questioning shows that everyonesees the school differently. We have heardthe Institute described as everythingfrom a trade school. to an Ivy Leagueuniversity, and the students as everythingfrom Wall Street snobs to bespectacledbeatniks.
The impossibility of pinning down theclassification of the MIT 'image' revealsthe truth of the matter-there is no'image,' no standard at Tech except thegeneral goal of excellence. Officially theInstitute tries to foster the impression ofthe individual, the 'whole man'-but notany particular man. Recent magazine at-tempts to classify all MIT students underone heading have been offensive to stu-dents and administration alike.
Of course, around the campus thereare plenty of images to conform to-fraternity images, activities images, po-litical images, even that old standard, the'collegiate image.' Sometimes the stu-dents themselves go to some lengths tocultivate this sort of image; they feel itis expected of them, as much a part oftheir college training as is the curricu-lum.
There is a certain value to conform-ing to some social standards; and most ofthe groups which demand a degree ofconformity have good reason for doingso, because these groups are offering aform of training for a later social or pro-fessional life with similar standards. Butthere is a certain danger and futility inconforming to a non-existent 'MIT col-legiate image.'
MIT can claim one of the most trulycollegiate atmospheres in the country;there is about the Institute an air ofstriving after knowledge which is uniqueamong American universities. This at-mosphere provides the key to success atMIT. Hard work in this environment pro-duces the MIT man, whose outstanding
characteristic is not his Ivy League at- (Cl.rkR a z -la Femmetire nor his way with women, but hisdepth of understanding of the basic con-cepts of science, engineering and the hu-manities. More, the successful studentwill have acquired social and civic re-sponsibility, taste for the excellent thingsin life, and the spirit of leadership whichhas kept MIT in its top position in theworld of education and research.
The particulars of a student's develop-ment are up to the individual. He mayenjoy athletics, politics, newswriting ormusic; he may be an electrical engineer.an economics major, a managementscholar or a pre-med student. Awarenessof the variety of MIT's opportunities andrealization of the importance of indi-vidual accomplishment will lead the ma-ture student to create his own 'MITimage.'
Activity financesThe recent history of one well-estab-
lished campus organization re-emphasizesthe necessity of accurate and thoroughmaintenance of records by activities. Aninvolved series of conferences with theOffice of the Dean of Student Affairs andwith other student groups have, it nowappears, preserved the existence of anorganization that has in times past madeworthwhile contributions to the under-graduate environment. A new constitu-tion, a new organization and a continuingsourcee of revenue should re-establish thisgroup.
Much of the confusion and inter-necine bickering that has occurred in thiscase could have been avoided if compe-tent and thorough sets of constitutional,historical, and financial records had beenkept.
The liberties granted by the Instituteadministration to the students in the self-direction of student affairs are not alicense for exploitation, irresponsibility.or petty politics. The annual turnoverbudget of many organizations runs intothousands of dollars, and a few groupshandle annually tens of thousands ofdollars.
It is clear that because of the diversi-ties in size and directions of our activities,no one standard, rigid system of book-keeping could be appropriate. It is nowwithin the powers of the Finance Board,however, to require presentation of anyactivity's financial records for reviewand possible audit.
At present only the records oforganizations in obvious trouble, andthose organizations which directly seekout help from the Finance Board, aresystematically reviewed. An annualreview of every group's financial andorganizational records would be impract-ical and unnecessary. However, a systemof random spot checks of records con-tinued throughout the year, might wellbenefit the continuity, solvency, andefficiency of student organizations.
A new scheme of student governmentis in early planning stages. Could thisspot-check plan be incorporated?
Freshinan WeekendThis year's Freshman Weekend was
a great success. Under the leadership ofDavid Rubin '65 the Freshman Coordi-nating Committee produced a weekendthat fully achieved its purpose.
The efforts of the committee beganlast spring. Committee members madepreliminary plans and convinced studentleaders of the inevitable success of theweekend. The program was changed toinclude only one of the Introduction toTechnology lectures that had filled pre-vious weekends. More time was allowedfor living group orientation. The addedtime for the living groups was of benefitto the dormitories, which do not have theRush Week period to begin orientation.
The Activities Midway received alarge attendance this year. To the creditof the Freshman Class, it appeared thatmost of the students were selective,showing interest in several activities rath-er than indiscriminately attempting tocover the field.
We offer our congratulations to thecommittee for a job well done.

and was especially concerned withthe obsolescence of knowledge:-
"Your education has given youtwo types of resources. One is away of thinking, of analyzing, ofarranging facts, and reachingconclusions. This will be with youforever. The other is certaintechnical proficiency-of more orless immediate value in your firstjob.
"This latter knowledge willbegin to become obsolete theminute you leave school.
"And unless it is updated inyour work, or by other means, itwill become of less and less valueto you and the enterprise towhich you will become a part."
rities" who have "estimated thatthe college graduate of 1964. hasonly six years of intellectualcapital. A PhD in Physics hasintellectual capital of only sevenyears. A PhD in engineering ownsintellectual capital of only elevenyears."'
Main speaker of the 98th Com-mencement was President JuliusA. Stratton. In addition, he per-sonally distributed each degree.
In another major event, DoctorStratton addressed an assemblyof nearly 1,500 MIT alumni andtheir guests the Monday followingCommencement.
The Alumni Day gathering wasreminded that the true measureof a university is not to be foundsimply in its new buildings:-
"A great university-like agreat city-can see its history andits progress, in part, in its archi-tecture. Its buildings, like therings of a tree, provide visibleevidence of its stages of growth.
"Yet the true measure of auniversity is found in less tangiblethings-in the achievements of itsalumni, in the character of itsscholarship, and, above all, in theeffectiveness of its teaching andthe aims of its educational plan."
In this context, President Strat-ton reviewed recent Instituteactivities calculated to maintainand strengtha MIT's internationalstature.Two major activities cited were
the review and revision of theundergraduate curriculum nowpending before the Faculty, andthe establishment of the privately-supported $15 million Alfred P.Sloan Fund for Basic Research inthe Physical Sciences.
"Our primary aimin the use ofthis fund will be to raise to evenhigher levels the quality, ratherthan the quantity, of our re-search," Stratton noted.

lBehold a Pale Horse,' nowslowing at the GCary Theatre, isthe type of mcvie Hemingwaywould have ma[e had he beena movie director; The result issrange, to say tle least./'The plot unfolds in typical Hem-
ingway style. Gregory Peck playsManuel Arfigues, a hero of theSpanish revolution banished toFrance, who has led raids intoSpain for twenty years. His agehas slowly taken ambition, drive,!streng, belief from him. Sudden-ly he realizes he is old and use-less, even though he is still afiery idealist inside.
Even in weakened condition,Manuel presents a threat to Cap-tab Vignores, of the Spanish po-lice, played by Anthony Quinn.After twenty years of tying, ihestill must catch Artigues or Ioseface. When Manuel's mothernears her last days, the Captainsets a trap to catch the son whowill surely come to see her. Thistrap is the substance of the movie,for two solid hours.
Manuel and Vignores are thesymbols of age. Into their per-sonal antogonism are drawn tWosymbols of youth. Omar Sharifplays the intense young FatherFrancisco (there is irony theresomewhere) who is caught be-tween his vows and his ideals.
!Pepi, the boy with vengeance inla cild's heart, represents inno-cence just beginning to be cor-rupted.
Except for the priest, all thecharacters have been cmruptedin some way. They are idealistic,
!but base; cynical, but ever hope-~ful. Vignores stops for a moment~in a chapel to light two candlesBand pray, "Please, Lord. Helpme to capture this man or I will

be degraded. It has been twentyyears." A few minutes later heis beating information out of apriest.
The film explores youth dis-covering the faults of the pre-vious generation, age continuingthe fight of youth long after rea-son and ability have worn out,men with heaven and hell co-existing inside them. The psycho-logical possibilities of thi. movieare great. Unfortunately, theyhave not been fully developed.
The script is superb, every sen-tence bengi a moral yet holdingthe others in place. "The war isover, Manuel. Why don't youstop?" are some of the firstwords of the movie. They couldas well be the last.
With such a script, the actingreaches unusual heights. But act-
ing and script cannot carry themovie alone.
By attempting to show the gray-ness of life and ideals, the moviegoes too far. "Behold a PaleHorse" ,becomes gray.
Just what causes the plot tobecome flat is hard to pin down.The scenery is drab enough todo any avant-guard film usftice;the directing is worse than dull.But the most boring aspect ofthe film is the very thing thatcould nmke it most interesting.
If only it were not so closelyknit, with a few irrelevant ideasthrown in just for diversion, itwould be bearable. A climaxlesstwo hours of moralizing fails toeffectively present the ideas itcontinually launches - from thescreen.
But there is one saving graceto the program at the Gary-thecartoon. It is a most unusual,enjoyable tale, a folk song set incolor. "Little Boy Bad" had theaudience clapping after five rnn-utes. It was especially enjoyableto me since I arrived late andsaw the cartoon after the mainfilm.

launch in 1975 on a Martin Com-pany Titan III booster. It wouldgo into a 500-mile orbit.
Basic AOAO form would be ahollow cylinder nine feet acrossand 30 feet high made from sheetberyllium. This would be the bar-rel of the AOAO's Cassegrain re-flecting telescope with a 100-inchprimary mirror at the bottom anda 20-inch secondary mirror at thetop. Three fin-like equipment lobeswould be placed around the bar-rel, giving AOAO the appearanceof a highly-speed airplane withthree severely-swept delta wingsequidistant around the fuselage.
A conventional two-mirror teles-cope would project an image outits primary mirror end, but thestudents fomund locating image-re-cording equipment there wouldgive the vehicle an unfavorableweight distribution. The studentdesign is for an eight-inch index-ing mirror between the larger mir-rors and positioned at a 45-degreeangle to project the image side-ways into the lobe containing aTV camera and instruments to an-alyze light from stars and planets.
Heat from a reactor known asMACE would produce 1000 wattsof power.
The group calls the reactorMACE because conical coversover the converters would giveit the appearance of a spikedmedieval battle club. Before andduring launch, the reactor wouldbe held quiescent by removal ofa control plug and would be storedin the power supply lobe.

Beat Mid-Atlantic
Sailors leadBy W. Thomas Compton
The MIT sailing team got offto a good start last weekend help-ing the New England team knockoff- the, Mid-Atlantic team 3-2 atKing's Point, New York. The NewEngland team consisted of MIT,Coast Guard, and University ofRhode Island. Princeton and RPIjoined host King's Point to makeup the Mid-Atlantic team.
There were five races of sixboats each. The winner of a racewas determined by the total num-ber of points for each team. Eachboat received one point for start-ing -the race, one for finishing,and one for each boat it beat.

Art Farnham, MIT's head trackand cross-country coach, spenthis spring coaching a U.S. na-tional team touring West Africaunder the auspices of the AAUand the State Department. Thetrip contingent of Coach Farnham,seven athletes and a manager,covered five countries as good-will ambassadors. The trip, whichran from mid-April until earlyJune, included the countries ofSenegal, Guinea, Nigeria, Mali,and Ivory Coast.
There were three general ac-tivities undertaken by the teamon their tour. The squad com-peted in actual meets against theAfricans, put on exhibitions, andheld clinics and lectures concern-ing track and field.
The American athletes weregenerally superior to the Africans,but Coach Farnham noted thatthere was a great deal of poten-tial on the teams he saw, espe-cially in Nigeria. The Africansseemed to be especially strong inthe sprint races and jumpingevents, while they had weaknessesin the distance races and weightevents.
The general living conditions,especially in the areas of foodand sleep, seemed to be a deter-rent to their development. Ourtraining methods were also some-what superior, which was one rea-son why the team made the trip.

rads organize crewBy P. Blakikock
Several graduate students, tiredof the sedentary life decreed forthem, decided to form a graduatecrew last fall. It became, andremains, the only all-graduatesports club at MIT.
In spite of initial difficultiesfinding oarsmen, a crew was en-tered for the Child's Cup Racelast fall (Classday races), and inthe spring, races were arrangedagainst Dartmouth, Amherst andBU.
This season will see an in-creased membership, includingoarsmen -from -MIT, Harvard,Yale, Syracuse and Columbia.Any crew men interested shouldcontact Ralph' Copperman X4995or Mel Platte X3552.
