Two major grants amounting to $1,000,000 by The FordFoundation for the support of research in the Institute's newlyestablished Center for International Studies were announeed onSept. 27 by President Killian.

"The development of the Center for International Studies,.and arrangements with The Ford Foundation for its gfenerousand pioneering support," President Killian said, "have been1handled for the Institute under the sound and imaginative guid-~ance of Dr. Julius A. Stratton, Provost, and of Dr. iMax F. Milli-1kan. Professor of Econormies, who is Director of the Center. Thei"-", -- -- i -

Architecture is the chosen field ofFushi Tjian-, of China, who graduatedfrom the American School in BuenosAires, Argentina. She is an accom-pl.;shed singer, and a "professional"knitter. Her -varied wa'drobe ofsweaters is a colorful testament toher talents.

Dark-haired Toby Shelofsky comes

from Jackson Heights, New York. Hei-'charm next year will enliven theCivil Engineering Department, and

the moot Doint seems to be how shewill manage the Surveying Camp..

Editor

Dorette Binner edited her schoolpaper in Hicksville, Long Island, andorganized the school's first serv'iceclub. Her choice of Course XV1II willparallel the career of her cousin, analumnus and a nuclear physicist at

creation of the Center marks an in-creased attention at M.I.T. to the eco-nomic and social implications ofscience and technology both at homeand abroad.

"The program of the Center is in-terdepartmental in character-. It af-fords opportunities for research to theDepartments of Economies and SocialScience and of English and History,and touches at many points upon threindividual interests of Faculty mem-bers in the several Schools of theInstitute. Studies undertaken sincethe beginning of the program have.been of basic academic interest andin large part directly related, to im-portant problems facing the country."

The Center has drawn principallyupon the resoure's of M.T.T. and theacademic conmunity of MetropOlitanBoston. but it hopes to engage theinterests of experts from a widerarea and to coordinate its work withother institutions conducting parallelprograms.Research in Human Conduct Factors

The grants were made by The FordFoundation under a mandate of itsTrustees to support, as part of itsover-all program, "scientific activitiesdesigned to increase knowledge offactors which influence or determinehumnan conduct, and to extend suchknowledge for the maximum benefitof individuals and of society."

The funds will enable the Centerfor International Studies to under-take twvo important projects. A grantof $875,000 will provide support fora study of international commriunica-tions oversP period of foul' years. Un-der 'this program, the Center willstudy: the nature of information andideas that reach various kinds ofpeople in foreign countries, the chan-Inels by which -they are conveyed, andthe factors--cultural, psychological,institutional, political, econornic---which affect the way people interpretthe information and the way they re-act to it. Since earlier studies have,emphasized mass media, such as radioand the press, special attention will

Unification of their class againstSophomore rivals has been marked byapparent restraint on -the part of thisyear's Freshman Class. They haveshow;n a marked aversion towarddemonstrating a rallying spirit. Per-haps this is due to a feeling that thereis strength in numbers. If they areunder this impression they are in fora surprise come Field Day and theGlove Fight. Last year's frosh foundthis out too late. Perhaps, however,there is the fear that the Administra-tion-will apply its "Mere Presence?'rule to any rally the Freshmen mightinstigate.

This ruling was distributed to all1freshmen and declares that merepresence at any unauthorized demon-stration will be considered prima facieevidence of guilt. c

Harvard too has a similar rulingwhich found complication last May. A irally honoring Walt Kelly, creator ofthe Pogo comic strip, resulted in ariot at which Harvard studentsclashed with local police.

When the smoke cleared twenty-sixstudents found themselves beingbrought to trial. Observers and theHarvard Crimson felt that the rallyIbecame a riot "only when the policelarrived." However, witnesses for the'twenty-six were reluctant to offertheir services while the possibility re-mained that the Administration mightinvoke/the Mere Presence rule. Testi-fying would admit presence at the ral-ly and might result in an unexpectedtrip home, minus one's registrationcard. Anonymity insures safety. This

"lack of witnesses is the shortest routeto a conviction" for the men on trial.The logic of the "prima facie" edictis that students present at such af-fairs expect a riot and are there tomake mischief.VOL. LXXTI TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1952 NO. 29

1. Residence Requirements. A person mustlive one year in the state including six monthsin any particular town. (Same requirementsfor everyone desaing to vote in Massachu-setts.)

2. Age Requirements. A person may registerwho will be twenty-one on election day.

3. Poll Tax. Males under 6S pay two dol-lars annual tax. It is not requisite for votingbut such payment is evidence of residence.

4. Registration Permanence. Regis-ration isFermanent if name continues to be carriedfrward en Police List made uJp in January.

5. Self-supporting. A Massachusetts SupremeCourt opinion of 1843 says that a student mustbe self-supporting in order that it be legallyrecognized that he has established residencehere. It is, however, up to each registrationboard to define self-supporting. Sentence fromCourt opinion defining '"Self-supporting": "Ifhe is emancipated from his father's family,and independent in his own means of support,it is immaterial from what place his means ofsupport are derived." However, if a student inone particular town is supported by a fatherand/or mother residing in any other city ortown of the Coommonwealth or any other state,the student is considered a resident of thetown where his father and/or mother reside-and he must vote absentee ballot to that state.Students living in dormitories, fraternities,sororities or rooming houses may or may notbe considered as residents depending onwhether or not they are self-supporting ratherthan on where they reside. Students supportedsolely by the G. I. Bill or scholarships areconsidered to be self-supporting.

6. State taxes paid elsewhere. Students pay-ing taxes in another state are considered resi-dents of that state and must vote absenteeballot to that state.

English words find "divest" meanings:In Chicago 400 college trained ap-

plicants for High School teaching po-sitions answered questions on an Eng-lish examination. They were asked to

iuse a giveh list of words in sentencesi which would illustrate their respectivemeanings. The list included such wordsas incoherent, dietary, punitive, trav-esty, succinct, insutrgent, malcontent,and divest. And here were some ofthe whoppers several of these collegegrads turned in.

"Divest problems will inflict you onthis task."

"The cake was on the punitive side.""Your research paper has malcon-

tent.""The travesty of the blast could not

be measured.""The insurgent on her side was two

inches deep.""The original species of monkeys

is succinct.""Some people who go to college,"

said one School Official, "get throughin a peculiar way. They pay their tui-tion so long .. . that somebody justfinally gives them the necessarycredits."

Ithe freshmen and sophomore classes.Until 1923 this night was known asTech Night, a night when the studentbody met to make merry, usually at alocal theatre production. A gang fightwas a customary part of the proceed-ings and festivities usually ended witha parade- through the streets of Bos-ton or Cambridge. It was broughtto an end when complaints were raisedover the loud rumpus Tech Nightcaused. In its present form Field Dayprobably is as competitive as it everhas been.

In the Field Day rivalry, the Sopho-mores hold a considerable edge overtheir rivals, with a record of 26 wins,8 ties, and 8 losses in the gamesplayed to date.

Not too much can be told about theteams at this point, because practicejust begun, but spirit seems to behigh. After scrimmages begin thisweek, the coaches will be able totell more about their prospects. Atany rate, the game looks like a goodone.

Freshmen and Sophomore footballteams began workout last week withonly fair turnouts. Both are lookingforward to the traditional Field Dayclash on November 1. Although theSophomores hold a big series edgeover the Freshmen, this year's gamepromises to be a close one.

The Sophomores have about thirty]men working out, many of them withexperience on last year's Freshmanteam. According to their coach,|the team lacks depth but there|are several potentially outstanding'players, especially among the back-1field candidates.

The Freshmen also have about thir-ty men in uniform, but expect severalmore players this week. Coach DanLickly says that very few of the menhave had any real high school foot-ball experience, but their spirit ishigh. "If all the men who have in-'dicated interest in the team were out,

we would have a pretty good team."'Both teams plan to schedule outside

games before the Field Day event.The Sophomores already have twogames in October with Tabor andThayer Academies. The Freshmen alsoplan to schedule prep school compe-tition.

52nd Field DayRecalls History

For those freshmen and sophomoreswho will not enter the glove fight to-rmorrow on Field Day, THE TEECHprints a history of the evolut'ion of theCane Ruisn to what we know today asField Day. Who, after reading this,will dare to say that the Glove fightis too strenuous?

Field Day, as a traditionally an-nual event at the Institute, is nowfifty-one years old, but is much thesame as it was when inauguratedin 1901. Previously underclassmenfound an outlet to their rivalry in theannual Cane Rush which was some-times literally a fight to the death.The freshmen were given possessionof the cane and attempted to defendtheir ownership from the sophomoreswho contested it. The fight was sup-posed to end with a pistol shot, firedfifteen minutes after the contest be-gan, but it usually served only to in-crease the battle tempo. When scrim-mage was finally halted, the numberof men from eachclass having a handon the cane was compared, and theclass having the highest number won.The traditional Purple Shaft com-memorates this event.

Cane Rush FatalIn 1900 the Cane Rush had fatal re-

sults. At the pistol shot on that daythe fight appeared even more deter-m.ined. When the members of the rivalclasses were unpiled and, to quoteThe Tech, Nov. 5, 1915, "The uncon-scious body of Hugh Chadwick Moore'04 was found wrapped about the caneand although he was removed imme-diately, all efforts to revive him wereunsuccessful. By his side w;as HaroldW. Sherrill '04, who was carried fromthe field suffering from a hemorrhageof both eyes and enlargement of theheart and who never recovered." Theinnovation of Field Day in its presentform came about at the spontaneousand unanimous demand of the studentbody.

Events held on the First Field Dayincluded football, a relay race, and atufg of war. The glove fight wasadopted in 1927. Since then the crewrace and the swimming meet havebeen added.

ditionally one of open rivalry between
