in a trite but none-the-less correct fashion the fraternity situa-tion during vacations.

If it is not plans for Hell Week, it is plans for Rush Week.The accelerated program being constituted as it is, even the mea-ger time which elapses between terms is barely sufficient for fra-ternity programs to be set up and put into action. This use oftime forces many of Technology's fraternity men to lose by farthe greater part of their vacation. With the unusual strain im-posed by the necessity of studying throughout the entire year,these vacations are necessary if the student is to justify his capa-bilities.

For this reason it seems to us that the Interfraternity Con-ference canI do a very valuable piece of work by placing somesort of limitations upon both Hell Week and Rush Week.

Possibly it would be an aid to the fraternities, as well as tothe entering freshmen, to set a definite time for Hell Week, sothat the initiation would be concluded completely in a week,rather than extending over a period of several weeks as eachhouse disrupts the classroom routine successively. Other stand-ard practices, definitely established by the Interfraternity Con-ference, would make this organization less of an ornament andmore of a utility on the M.I.T. campus.

Rush Week should be limited so that each house will not be'forced to break its neck trying to "beat out" its rivals. Un-regulated competition always results in the mutual exhaustionof the competitors, and this is particularly true now.

A-n excellent start toward fraternity coordination wasImade during the last Rush Week by the collection and distribu-tion of ration stamps. We hope that this effort will be extendedthis year so that the members of M.I.T. fraternities may be ableto spend their time in greatly needed relaxation, rather than inwriting numerous letters and hurrying back to Boston afteronly a day or two at home.

Light And Heavy BoatsTie For First Place InTime Of 7 Min., 13 Sec.

The Technology freshman crewsemerged victorious over the navalforces of Harvard in a race heldlate last term. In a time of 7 min-utes 13.5 seconds the Tech lightanid heavty crews tied for firstt -lacewith the defenders of the Crimsona good length astern. This Victorymarked the end of a disastrousweek in the annals of Harvardnautical history, the freshmen winbeing an aftermath of the varsitywin and a just vindication for thefrosh Engineers' defeat on the pre-vious Saturday.

The first start proved disastrous,as a Harvard crewman caught acrab 30 seconds from the start. TheCrimson boat suddenly lost head-way and stopped, wallowing in thewakes of the Tech crews, which hadtaken the lead from the start.

Tech Leads

The second start was just as suc-cessf ul as the first for the Engineerswho early took the lead, the lightsin the van. Then began a battlebetween the lights and heavies forsupremacy, Harvard by this time be-ing a nonexistent threat. TheHeavies pulled up on the lightsseat by seat, each stroke bringingthem up. At the Harvard bridgethey had nearly closed the gap andas the boats emerged from the steeland stone portals the crews werenearly neck and neck. When theboats passed the finish mark thecrews were bow and bow, with theCrimson thrashing the Charles agood length astern.

The official time for the race was7 minutes 13.5 seconds and the Techboats were seated as follows:

Reviews and Previews

METROPOLITAN - Bob Hope andBetty Hutton in the screen versionof the Broadway comedy Let's FaceIt. Perhaps a little disappointingfor those who have seen the playbut one of Hope's funniest. BettyHutton's worth watching too.LOEW'S STATE AND ORPHEUM-Humphrey Bogart in Sahara. Forthe second time the star of "Casa-blanca" shows that he can playmore than gangster parts. This isanother better one of the 150 warpictures that have been producedlately. Definitely worth seeing. Alsobilled with this is Chance of a Life-time.PARAMOUNT AND FIENWAY-Noone who read the book will want tomiss Hemingway's For Whom theBell Tolls. Every scene, every wordand supreme technicolor contrib-utes to make this picture one offilmdom's greatest. Ingrid Bergmanand Gary Cooper will be unforget-table, as Robert Jordan and Maria.MAJESTIC-A good double feature.Frederic March and Janet Gaynor 'star in A Star is Born and one ofAlfred Hitchcock's greatest andmost thrilling pictures, The LadyVanishes with Paul Lukas who dis-tinguished himself in "Watch onthe Rhine".OLYMPIA-Cary Grant and Laraine /Day are shown in Mr. Lucky, a veryamusing picture everyone will en-joy. Also shown is Leslie Howard'slast film Spitfire which is worth see-ing not only because it is Mr. V'slast.
