After a long period of planning and investigation it appears that the rediape connected with setting up frequency modulated operation of the MIT'student operated campus radio station, WTBS, will begin to be cut very shortly.iAccording to Ira Holzman '57, technical manager for the station, the petition
by WTBS to the Institute Administration is near approval and definite word,Should be received in the next few days.
If this petition were approved the next step would be to apply to the Fed-eral Communications Commission. It is expected that difficulty will be en-countered in obtaining the approval of this petition since special permissionis required to broadcast advertising

Delayed Rushing NotThe Answer, SaysIFC Comm. Report
Delayed rushing is undesirable,said the members of the Interfrater-'nity Conference Committee for De-layed Rushing, at the monthly IFCmeeting last night.
The members of the committee,which was set up last fall, were:Dean Speer, Ron Zolkiewicz '58, El-lery Stone '59, Ron Enstron '57, andHal Smith '57.
They decided that t h e benefitswhich would accrue from delayedrushing would not compensate for itsdisadvantages. Ellery Stone said thatthe decision was reached by "consid-ering the various aspects of the sub-ject from three different points ofview: those of the Institute, thefreshmen, and the fraternities. Forexample, we thought the Institutewould not approve of the interruptionin the students' workl caused by rush-ing in the middle of the term; thefraternities would suffer as delayedrushing would shorten the effectivelife of the member with the frater-nity; and it would be harmful tothe freshmen pledges as the frater-nities generally give intensive orien-tation programs which help a fresh-man get his feet on the ground, andthis is most effective at the begin-ning of a freshman's stay at MIT."
The committee decided t h a t itwould be best if the freshman week-end were lengthened to a week andrushing alternated with the regularfreshman week-end activities. Forthose freshmen who did not wish tobe rushed there could be alternativeprograms such as guided tours of theInstitute.
lief in the advantage of a "team" tohead Inscomm and in a scheme thatmay well put an FM station onCampus-"an integrating factor thatwouid put a new spirit into thecommunity." Feelings ran high asSpiro mounted to the sp)eaker's posi-tion and propounded the statement"Hazing is fun!" as well as a mneansto bettelr Freshman orientation, andcampus feeling. The big problem (ashe saw it) was to put it on a cam-puswide scale. Hazing with the liv-ing group seemed no problem to this
candidate for UAVP. In anotherstatement, he wvent on to say that aplatform was a poor excuse for solv-ing any of the major campus prob-lems or problems of the MIT com-munity. A thorough awareness ofthese major problems was the onlyanswer to what might be a longrange solution.
Helmut WNeymar, UAP hopeful,met fire from a number of Lakermen and members of Inscomm on thegrounds that he and Spiro were re-ceiving the support of various cam-pus activities. Arnie Amstutz round-ed out the first speeches with an an-swer to Helmut \Weymar's New Phil-osophy with a number of copies ofhis platform, which he promptly with-

drew from his pocket and distribut-ed among the audience. As he put it,"I don't think most people have beenreading these."
It was during the question periodthat the candidates' views reallycame to light and some of the feel-ings of the audience became appar-ent. Coryell no sooner stepped to thespeaking position once mnore, than hewas under attack by memnbers of hisown living group concerning his po-sition as social chairman of theBaker House. Coryell stated that somefacts p)ertinent to this would be pre-sented in a forthcoming newsletter.
Helmut Weymar, in accordance onceagain with his new philosophy, aroundwhich he bases most of his platformand hopes for a better MIT commu-nity, pleaded for a realistic approachto t h e problems confronting us.Speaking with the background of onewho has worked intimately with manyof the "higher ups" while on theLiaison Committee, he specificallystatedl that a iecognition of cornmpul-sory commons as a system here tostay was just one of a numnber ofnew approaches that are necessaryfor an Inscoinm that would have asubstantial place in formulating In-stitute policy.
Amstutz, on the other hand, thoughin agreement wvith Weymar on a nuIm-ber of issues, sawv Insconm as a mias-sive "lobby", or a place where thestudent body could mnake itself feltand leave its mark on Institute policyby its sheer w-eight.

Canadian Hazing
Occasionally when we of MIT lift our sleep-weary eyesfrom the glare of a fluorescent lamp upon the pages of a
L book which some professor has written for his own course,our caffeine-stoked brain notices flashes of fire revealing acollege where life exists-a red, raw uninhibitedly col-legiate life. Perhaps the rawest of these schools representedby its equally raw but excellent paper, The Ubyssey, is theUniversity of British Columbia.
To compensate for the humiliation suffered by the fresh-, man girls during the hazing period by their practice of de-
skirtsing and to show their true idolization of the female,the men of the University of B.C. observe a co-ed day."Co-ed Day" the very name suggests an Elesian world ofosier bodies, delicately poised in obsequiousness: of flutter-ing, patrician supplications; of girls, girls, girls; girls buy-ing and being bought, carrying and being carried. Co-edDay! Hoo boy! For this is the day when male superiorityis finally and gloriously recognized. Co-eds will complywith any masculine desire, without any of the superfluouspouts and moues with which they beg the issue the restof the year. In the morning Nurses and Aggie girls willinvade the library and take all available boys out to coffee. . . (and) polish boys' shoes. At noon there will be a pepmeeting in the auditorium with a Chinese Auction of fourco-eds, entertainment, and Home Ec. girls selling goodies."At this point the reporter striving for the removal of am-biguity asked, "What kind of goodies ?" The afternoon wasclimaxed by the tea dance while the dance in the eveningconcluded the festivities.
Unique Pictures
The gleeful- fun-loving, its great to be alive, virile butgood natured humor and attitude of the entire campus iscaptured by the newspaper with unusual pictures with moreunusual captions. An example of this is a picture of thebacksides of four co-eds kneeling over the back of a couch,described by a unique caption: "Tireless in its efforts tobring its readers both sides of the story, the Ubyssey herepresents pictorial proof that Mardi Gras Queen candidateshave a deep-seated desire to get ahead. Ubyssey photogra-phers, it seems have a similar deep-seated desire to getbehind the headlines, down to the bottom of things."
Engineers Versus Agglies
The U of BC seems to be continually engaged in somehumorous activity, such as a recent float race between theEngineers and the Agricultural College. "The Aggie's Cow"(one of the floats), a lumbering ox, built on the battle linesof a battleship, was standing there, patiently disgorginggreat quantities of eggs, flour, and rotten vegetables toeager Aggies and Foresters.
The Engineers tried to retaliate by throwing logs, a sixby six, and gas n,,d oil over the road. A member of thefaculty f :c' ern from lighting the gas, and a crowdof Aggiestopped them from using the logs. The racestarted in a shower of debris as the Aggie drivers peltedthe Engineer 'horses'. 'The Engineers disintegrated whenthe Aggies started using natural, solid fertilizer. The Atticswon in a walkaway."
Snow B1alls Fly
The virility, joyousness and unconcern of the studentspervades the University sometimes resulting in goodnatured,though perhaps foolish, riots. Recently a spontaneous de-monstration routed' and ruined, at the outset, a fund raisin--drive. "Great trek committee efforts to get publicity forUBC's appeal for funds failed today as snowballs ruinedceremonies on Main Hall.
"The program called for former great trekker AubreyRoberts to deliver a speech to start things off. He had torun for cover after he said about ten words.
"Next event scheduled was the hut-building, contest be-
tween the Engineers and the Foresters. The snowballs tore
the huts apart while they were being built.
"The CBC television cameraman found it almost impos-
sible to get shots amid the flying snow-balls. A photographer
from the Sun had his camera put out of action the same
way.'
Arise men of MIT. Leave these drab, pastel brown walls,
grueling hack work, and surmountable problems. Lead a
life of virile, lustful Joy amid the raucous humanity of that
most fascinating, most colorful campus-the University of
British Columbia.

I'm taking commons and know thatany system must be as voluntary aspossible. Under any circumstances,liberal cut-and-exchange privilegesare a necessity.
In order to improve esprit de corpsand training, the second year ROTCprogram should be on a voluntarybasis. This leaves the Freshman yearas an introduction to ROTC;
Inscomm was not successful lastMarch when they said, "Thou shaltnot haze." Let's put the problem onthe level where the, people who aredirectly concerned can deal with it.Individual dormitories and fraterni-ties should be allowed to handle theirown hazing problems.
How about a constructive sugges-tion on parking? Though this maynot be the whole answer, let's con-sider establishing shuttle service andoff-campus parking lots for Institutepersonnel living in the suburbs, leav-ing on-campus lots free for stu-dents.
What about facilities on-campusto allow commuters easy access toovernight accommodations? This canba obtained by working in coopera-tion with the dormitory system.

Elections Tuesday--Vote
Next Tuesday, the student body will elect student gov-ernment leaders. The main duty of these leaders will beheading the new Institute Committee in the coming year.Clearly, it is necessary to have good leaders in any form ofgovernment before good government can exist. It is for youto determine these leaders.
The mark of a successful Institute Committee is therecord which it establishes with respect to legislation, hand-ling of funds, new ideas brought forth, etc. Not to be leftout, is the manner in which Institute Committee upholdsthe laws it makes. A case of this is the ban against hazingthe present Inscom inherited last year. Good or bad, therule was there and should have been either enforced orchanged. After damage was done to both freshman andstudent government prestige, the Schultz Committee wasformed whose only contributions were sweeping generali-ties and minor recommendations. In areas such as this, awise student government should reflect on its motions, seewhat the implications are, and prepare to either uphold thelaw to the fullest extent or drop the whole matter. Half-way student government is worse than none at all.
When you vote next Tuesday consider each man-hisqualifications, his merits, his failings-consider how he willreact to the responsibility of student government and thesituations that will arise during the year, and consider hisplatform-how it affects you and its effect on the way oflife at MIT. Consider ail of these and then vote. But besure and vote, for a truly active student government can beobtained only through a truly active voting student body.

To the lEditorial Chailrman:The recsponsibility of student gov-
ernment does not always consist of'"talcing stands" or making decisionson "key" issues. Aside flrom theglamoulr, there remains wolrk to heclone. It is not enough to deal withthe prioblems that arise during theyear, we must also effectively attackthe existing "problem areas". Theseproblem areas include: FreshmanOrientation, Communication, Student-Faculty Relations, Financial PrIo-ccdures, and the like. These big prob-dems can't be solved overnight; wemust keep working at it.
The UAVP must do his share inleading the attack on these "prob-lem areas". Without ambitious lead-ership, Insconim cannot be very am-bitious either. It is imperative, therc-folre, that the UAVP have experi-ence in the areas in which he shallbe called upon to act.
I have the strongest confidence inmy ability to handle the office of Vice-President capably and effectively. Ihave an avid interest in these stu-<lent problemns-an intelrest which Ifeel I have demonstrated in my workin student government. I have serveda full year on Institute Committeeand have gained expelrience wvith theproblem areas and with the studentgovernment agencies set up to dealwith these problems. I have a greatinterest in the Freshman Orientation-Hazing Area and have worked onthis problem through the FreshmanCo-ordinating Committee, the Fresh-man Week-end Committee andthlrough my role as Chailrman of theFreshman Leadership Conference. Ihave also participated in the foreignstudent program at MIT, through theIntelrnational Program Committee,and have dealt with the communica-tion problem thlrough a special com-mittee set up by Inscomm. I also hadthe privilege of being an MIT dele-gate to the National Student Con-gress in Chicago last surnmer, wherefor ten days I discussed and compar-ed the plroblems of student govern-mert all ovelr the country.
To the Editor ial Chairman:
The job of Vice President is chieflyconcerned with coordination. That is,the Vice Presicent should be respon-sible for maintaining communicationamong the subcommittees. The UAVPshould also represent student opin-ion to the Administration and intc-grate administrative and student gov-elrnment relations; and serve in apublic relation capacity. In order toaccomplish these things the VicePresident must be dynamic and pos-sess initiative and willing to work. Ihave been an active nmember of manycampus organizations; among them,the Junior Prom Committee, treasur-er of the Association of Women Stu-dents and President of the MIT Wo-men's L)oiin. As UAVP, I intend tocontinue my service to the school.
I feel that the students of MITmust be assulred of fair representa-tion and unbiased discussions on In-stitute Committee. This can best be
Expanding on the recent history ofstudent government, the war yearscrleated other pi-oblenis. The stepped'up academiic schedule meant thatthere were two -ralduatin- classes ayear and thus, the rtace for juniorclass president assumied greater sig-nificance since he would be the headof Institute Comnmittee within thehalf year.
The main issues during this periodwere polarized upon the interplay offraternity - dormitory - commuterpolitics.
Nineteen forty-six marked the be-ginning of a new era at MIT. For thefirst time in the history of studentgovernment, a co-ed was elected thehead of a class A activity, the chair-nianship of the Walker MemorialCommittee. In this siLme year thepresidential election wound up a tie.The run-off was held by ballotingthrough the mails.
The next year brought the outlaw-ing of large caucuses for the nomi-nation of political officers. This ac-tion was taken by the Institute Com-mittee under the chairmanship ofNorman Holland '47, who at presentis Assistant Professor of Humani-ties and Baker House Faculty Resi-dent.
Along with the slate o. officersthere was included on the ballot in11948 the question of the 'federationplan". This suggested innovation pro-posed that a larger proportion of theInstitute Committee members beelected from the individual classes.The purpose of the plan. was to stimi-ulate interest in student government.The plan was rejected by the poll.
In nineteen fifty-three a student ref-erendum, a motion to separate theoffices of senior class president analpresident of Institute Committee, waspassed. Previously, the junior classonly had voted in the selection ofInscomm president. The next yearthe whole student body participatedin the election of Undergraduate As-sociation President. The issues inthis campaign focused on: 1) Dis-crimination. in ;raternities, 2) Stu-dent assessments, 3) Financing ofthe Student Union Building, 4) Haz-ing.
The disinterest of many studentsin student government may be basedon doubts about the value of studentgovernment in general, or criticismof the worth of a particular admin-istration. Is student governmentworthwhile ? How do the operationsand characteristics of ou' InstituteCommittee compare with those of for-mer governments?
Robert M. Briber '52, a former Un-dergraduate Association President,now a Presidential Assistant, profetsthese opinions: he felt that the thingthat makes student governmeint im-portant and valuable is, first, theprocess of personal development andmaturation, which, is an offspringof the experience derived from theresponsibility of ruling and policy-making. Secondly, and Mr. Briberfeels that this factor is often over-looked in such an evaluation as this,"If it has no other importance," hesaid, "the strength of student gov-ernment is simply that it's fun. Asfar as its value to the Institute com-munity is concerned," he states, "todebate on the point of efficiency, theefficiency of a company or concern, isneither important or relevant. In stu-dent government, the understandingand personal evaluation by the stu-dent of his own problems, means thatthe job will be done better and actu-ally with more efficiency. Student gov-ernnment p-rovides a r eady-malde andresponsible source of student opin-ion."
by William Cramer
The Institute Commnittee firlst con-vencd on Februarly 11, 18933. Therewerv twelve menl on the filrst com-mittee, whose first president was A.F. Bemis. The Constitution statedthat "the powers of the Committeeshall not be completely outlined, butits general policy shall be to fur-ther the best interests of the Insti-tute as a whole." At this time theInstitute Committee met once everytwo weeks. Today Inscomm has amembership of fifteen and meetingsare held once evelry two weeks. Inthe embryonic stage of InstituteCommittee Thle Tach reported thatstudent support of and interest instudent govelrnment were the prima-ry factors in the successful birth ofthe Committee.
Whatever the reasons, its stinm-ulating and ameliorative effects seemto have been conspicuously absent inthe Institute community in recentyears.
It is difficult to detect the firstsigns of this lethargy, but an exam-ination of contemporalry historyshows that such sentiments wvereprevalent and wsidespread with theend of the depression and the begin-ning of the second worldl war.
In 1942 only 33 persons attendedthe newly formed elections forumnand only one-third of the senior classvoted in the election of the leadersof the entire student body. The se-nior class president was traditionallypresident of Institute Committee. TheTecl observed that "the studentswere not intelrested enough to evensee the candidates to find out for-what they stood."
Second-Place VotesPlay Important RoleIn Picking UAVP
This year the voting will be runon the preferential system. The sys-tem works in the following way:Given candidates A, B, C, D, and E.If A has a simple majolrity on thefirst ballot, then he is elected. If not,then the last place candidate on thefirst ballot is removed from the vot-ing and the second-place votes, forexample, on the ballots are lredis-tributed as firlst place votes on thetotals of the rest of the candidates.Similarly, the third place votes arealso ledistributed and so on. If nocandidate still has a simple majority,then the process is repeated untilthere is a winner. It is thus possiblefolr one candidate to have fewer filrstplace votes than another, but comeout the winner if a majority of thepeople who voted for the less popu-lar candidates selected him as theirsecond choice. With this system ofcounting ballots, people change theirmindls as the tide of fortune changesand candidates are eliminated fromthe scene. It is thus extremely im-portant to carefully consider secondlplace choices and not to choose can-didates on the ballot any fartherthan is dictated by personal feeling.(It is the opinion of Dick Hughes'57, chairman of the Secretariat, thatthe ideal way of voting would be inan assembly whiere all the votersminds.)
The votes will be counted by theSecretariat, under the supervision ofthe Elections Chairman, Jim Austin'57. Before the results are official,and in event of protest, the resultsmust he announced by the InstituteCommittee and will be done so onFebrlualry twentieth.
To the Editorial Chairman:The office of UAVP has been
changing in 1recent yealrs. I wouldlike to see this change made in the
ilrection of molre efficient student!ovelrnmcnt. To achieve this, gl eat-Cr cooperation with the UAP is es-Sential. Thelrefore, I have decided to
olrk with Arnie Amstutz t;oward thelollowing mutual goals.
In the matter of hazing, the firststep is to work for the repeal of the!o-hazing resolution and to put thetonteol of hazing in the hands of thetving groups. Inscomm should thenroceed to outline broad limits withn eye toward eliminating sadism,oth physical and mental. This muste done before summer in order toave a definite, well-publicized policyo present to freshmen in the fall.As fo' commons I feel that a poor
ituation will probably get worse un-ess the students' opinions are press-!d on the administration. Admitting;hat compulsolry commons is inevi-!able, all over campus is not an ap-proach that will get favorable re-iults. Therefore, we will work with!he new catering selrvice to presentStudent ideas in menu-planning andto establish a liberal cut-and-ex-!hange system.
The only final and long-range solu-lion to the parking problem seems to)e to cut down the numbel of calrs,hat flood daily into the MIT area.Phe building of lot after lot for thei'rtra cars will see no end until theIoof of Kresge is shingled with auto-nohiles. With this in mind the pro-posal that parking lots be placed intiuburbs for MIT personnel shouldbe pursued and developed. This would
r1ovide more space for students'
Tile ROTC sophomore programiould be put on an optional' basis.(his would make for a sharper unitior the guys who are interested inROTC. The Freshman program wouldiave to be made more attractive injirder to sell people on continuing.,elre is reason to believe that theROTC department, itself, is interestedin this line of thought. If studentpressure at UCLA could bring about'a voluntary system, we at MIT canlo similarly.
In closing, I stress again the valueif coordinated action in the top lead-"rship of Institute Committee. I sin-rclely believe that far more can beAccomplished with such an approach.if you aglree with me, I would ap-preciate youlr support.

accomplished if Inscomm is not con-trolled or guided by one opinionalone. With a sepalration of the of-fices of the President and Vice Presi-dent, the student body can be assuredof obtaining the flexibility so abso-lutely essential if the people who fillthese two positions are to perfo]'mmost effectively and most produc-tiveiy. The Vice President should beneither a "yes-man" to the President,without opinions of his own; nor amilitant, policy making individual,but rathelr a coordinator and advisor.
One of the major problems facedby Institute Committee is the deline-ation of authority. Where does theadministration's jurisdiction end andStudent Government's begin ? AsUAVP I shall do my best to helpstlrengthen the position of StudentGovelrnment and see that the stLu-dents al-e allowed to solve such prob-lems as are presented to them, notjust discuss them.
Parking, ROTC and hazing are ac-tually Administlration problems, andwhile we are given lresponsibility forfinding solutions, ve are not giventhe authority to put our solutions in-to effect. As Undel-graduate Associa-tion Vice President, I propose to rem-edy this situation by coordinatingthe policies-and activities of the Ad-ministration in regard to Inscomm.This job can best be carried out bysomeone respected by the Adminis-tlration and by one xvho has demon-strated ability, responsibility and ex-perience in such undertakings. I fealthat I am that person. .

The following are among the "im-plicit obligations" which I feel theVice-President should be prepared toassume:
(1) The Vice-President should serveas a liaisson between Inscommn andthe nine permanent sub-committees,keeping operations coordinated andInscomm informed of their progress.
(2) The V.P. should cooperate withInstitute agencies of communicationto keep the student body informed ofInscomm's actions and policies andkeep Inscomm informed on generalstudent feeling.
(3) The U.A.P. cannot function asthe dynamic leader he must be ifoverburdened with administrativeXwork. The V.P. must be ready andwilling to assume a large share ofthis wolrk.

4. Advanced study is atyour doorstep
Such excellent schools as Colum-bia, New Ybrk University, Poly-technic Institute of Brooklyn,City College of New York, CooperUnion, Pratt Institute, StevensInstitute of Technology, and Man-hattan College are within easyreach. For those interested in ad-vanced degrees this is of value.In addition, most scientific andengineering societies have theirheadquarters in New York. Youcan enjoy their regular meetingsand the contacts with other engi-neers.
We often forget the advantagesof living in New York or its sub-urbs. The city, with its opportuni-ties for entertainment, culture,shopping and sports, has every-thing - it is truly the capital ofthe world. From the U. N. Build-ing to Radio City, from the glitterof Broadway to the shops on FifthAvenue, from the Battery toCentral Park - New York is anexciting city to see and a stimu-lating one in which to work.

ine instruments have been assembledin one place. These include Amati vi-olins, viola, and cello dating from1619 to 1680; Stradivaris dating from
11701 to 1723; Guamrneri, from 1676 to1734; and Gofrillers dating flrom 1703to 1723.
The oldest instrument is an or-~ate violin made by Andrea Amatiin Cremona in about 1565 for King,Charles IX of France. It was usedan the French court until the Rev-}olution and disappeared for about akentury.O' i

Also in the collection are suchinstrumnents as a quintone dating to1698 and miniature violins made fordancing masters to calrry in theirpockets. There is also a collection ofold coneert plrogrlams and othelr oldplrints.
The exhibition, which will remainhere through March 10, was broughttogether especially for MIT. Most ofthe instruments are flrom tlxe collec-tions of Emil Heiolmann and Rem-bert Wulrlitzer, two of the world'smost famous dealers in rare instrlu-ments.

W\ednesday also saw Beta Theta Picontinue undefeated in the playoffs,as they ran through Phi Delta Theta,64-43. Warren Goodnow continuedto spark the Betas, who plreviouslyhad knocked off Grad House A intheir title drive.

Looking ahead to future matches,Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Pi,and East Campus appear to be theteams that have the best chance toreach semi-final and final competi-tion.

Heralding important things to come, workwas begun in late summer, 1956, on a wide
access road in a remote section of Palm
Beach County, Florida. At the end of that
road, situated northwest of West Palm
Beach, a 500,000-square-foot plant destined
to be the newest addition to Pratt & Whit-
ney Aircraft engineering facilities is already
well under construction.
Here, engineers and scientists will soonbe hard at work dealing with new and in-creasingly complex problems relating to ad-
vanced jet aircraft engines. Working in closecoordination with men at other P & W Aestablishments - particularly the com-pany's multi-million-dollar Andrew Will-goos Turbine Laboratory in Connecticut -
this newest section of the Pratt & WhitneyAircraft team will face a challenging.assign-ment. They, too, will be concerned withdesign, testing and development of highlyadvanced, extremely powerful jet engineswhich will join a family already includingJ-57 and J-75 turbojets, currently playingimportant roles in the growing military andcommercial air power of the United States.
The engineering graduate who begins hiscareer at this Florida facility will have therare opportunity of keeping pace with itsanticipated growth. Irn an organization re-nowned for development engineering su-periority, he will gain irnvaluable experienceworking on vital, long-range projects thatare a challenge to the imagination.

Beaver Hoopsters Downed By Taller BUT;Overecole After Nine-Point Halftinme Lead
Leading by nine points at the endof the first half, the MIT hoopsteirssuccumbed to a much taller BU squadin the second half as they took an81-62 trouncing at Rockwell CageWednesday night. The Red andWhite's height advantage' enabledthem to take more than twice asmany shots as the Beavers since theytook more than 751%o of the rebounds,especially off the offensive backboards.
With Lee Cooper '59 and Mar-tyGoldstein '57 leading the way with 11and 12 points respectively, the localspiled up a 40-31 halftime lead afterbeing ahead several times by 13points.
Both teams started with a zone de-fense, but midway through the halfthey both returned to the usual man-to-man. Although outrebounded, the

Techmen hit on close to half theirshots from the floor while their op-ponents couldn't seem to find thebasket.
Cooper, Goldstein, Murray Mura-sklin '57, Mac Jordan '58, and BobPolutchko '59 comprised the startinglineup for the Beavers and they play-ed the entire half as Coach Burkewanted to hold the winning combi-nation together.
After the intermission it was acompletely different story. BU beganto hit from the outside and they tiedup the game after about five min-utes of play at 42-42 after scoringnine straight points. The two teamsbattled back and forth for a few min-utes and the visitors took the leadfor good midway through the half.The winners kept running off streaks
of five and six points as their back-court men began to hit on sets andlong jump shots. When they missed.the Red and White would usuallymanage to get in a few more shotsbecause they completely dominatedtheir own boards. It appeared thatthree BU cagers would be rebound-ing against only one Techman mostof the time.
The Terriers had four men indouble figures with Dick Armstrongleading both sides as he netted 20points. The Beavers' three top scor-ers were Muraskin, Cooper, and Gold-stein with 19, 13 and 12 tallies re-spectively. Muraskin accounted for 12of MIT's 22 points in the second halfas his teammates lost the range onthe hoop.
Undoubtedly Polutchko's playingwas affected due to the fact that hepicked up three personal fouls in thefirst ten minutes of the game. Bobseemed to be gradually worn downby the heavier Terriers under theboards as he started out by pickingup a good share of the rebounds.
This was the Beavers' fifth straightsetback and the seventh in elevencontests this season. Their next gameis with Bowdoin at home this Fridaynight. After that four of their lastfive encounters are on the road.
The Beaver Freshmen sufferedtheir first defeat after seven consecu-tive wins to the BU first year men,75-58 in the contest preceding thevarsity game.

After Bradford WinDnuring the last weelk, the MIT
fencing team won one match by awide margin, but lost the succeedingtwo by almost as great a point spread.Febrluary 6, Tach met an out-class-ed Bradford-Durfee Technological In-stitute team and brought home astunning wrin of 21. to 6. The foilteam composed of Jim WTieting, MikeFein, Ted Quist, and Barry Shabelturned in a perfect record of 9-0.Wieting entered the line-up for thefirst time this year to fence his threebouts unscored upon, proving he hadsufficiently recovered from a fall leginjury. The epee team lost only oneof their nine. Team members wereLes Dilrks, Roy Norris, Ron Werempen,and Joe Pedlosky. The sabre team,howevelr, with fencelrs Larry Camp-bell, Ben Edwards, Hal Miller, MikeMeeker, and Bob Barbolini took onlyfour of their nine bouts.
Ironically team scores were almostreversed Saturday when MIT wasdefeated by a powerful City Collegeof New- York team 19-8. The onlybright spot of the match was theTech sabre team's win of 6-3. Signi-ficant was the fact that trwo ofC.C.N.Y.'s sabre team wvere winnersof the Eastern Championships inteam competition last year. Wietingand Dirks took the only other twowins in foil and epee rfspectively.
Wednesday, Tech was defeated bythe Halrvard fencers 18 bouts to 9.In foil Wieting won all three of hisbouts for the only wins in that weap-on. In sabre Meeker had two winswhile Edwards and Campbell had onewin each. The only epee scores weretallied by Dirks and Wemper. whohad one each. This gives Tech threewins and two losses for the seasonwith five matches yet to be fenced.
Next week, MIT meets Boston Uni-versity and Stevens Institute. Thelatter team should not give muchtrouble to Tech, but the former mayprove more difficult.
Maatmen BeatenIn their closest encounter of the sea-
son, the MIT matmen were edged bythe U. of Mass., 12-11, in the vic-tor's gym. T'his -vas their fourth lossin five matches this yea-r.
Bob Boese '58 was the only grap-pler to register a pin for either sideas he downed his U. of Mass. op-ponent in the second period to cap-ture the 123-lb. class. Jimnmy Sim-moonds '57 wion for MIT when thehome squad forfeited the 137-lb. bat-tle. In the 167-lb. match, Bob Solen-ber:g '57 won a two-lpoint decision toremain undefeated.
The Beavers' star inatman, HarrisHyman '58, had his perfect recordblemished as he drew with last year's147-lb. frosh New England champ.
In the 130-lb. contest, Tech's RayOrtlet '58 dropped a three-point de-cision. Mike Flinn '59 was outfoughtin the 157-lb. scrap and MIT for-feited the 177-lb. match.
Tony Vertin '57, Beaver captain,although outweighed by more than30 lbs., put up a great battle in theunlimited contest.
MIT Pistols Wi nThe MIT Pistol Team added one
more victolry to its recordl by out-shooting Harvard, and Blrown in athree-wXay match held at the MITrange last Saturday. The Tech squadtook a close first by a total pointproduction of 1275, with Harvardcompiling 1274 and Brown 1225.
This match was the team's firstfollowing an unsuccessful southerntrip during mid-semester break. Thetrip provided the opportunity to com-pete against two of the ton teams inthe country, Navy and the US Mer-chant Marines. The Annapolis sharp-shooters set a new range lecord indefeating the visiting Techmen by1408 to 1265. The USMM Academyat Kings Point, Long Island, pro-vided the next competition for theTech triggermen. The Marines squeez-ed out a 1238 to 1216 victory overther courageous engineers.
On March 2, the team travels tothe U. of Conn. for the final matchof the season.

The MIT Swimming Team comp!et-ed its home schedule with a convinc-ing 59-21 victolry over Tufts, and aheartbreaking 43-43 tie with a pow-
erful U. of Mass. team. The teamnow hits the road after compilingan ?impressive five wins and one tierecord in six home meets.
The Tech Medley Relay Teamcomposed of Johnson '58, Jacobson
'59, Getchall 59, and Duane 57, swamto an impressive thirty-yard victoryover Tufts with U. of Mass. twentyyalrds further back. The 220-yd. free-style event was a thlrilling dual be-tween Kohlman '58 of MIT and Bal-
Vwin of IT. of Mass. with Kohlman thewinner by two yards. Kossler '59
finished fourth, ahead of both theTufts' men.
The 50-yd. flree-style found BobJantzen '57 and Roger Kane '59 fin-ishing second and third respectivelyagainst both teams. The 100-yd. but-telrfly was won by Hone of U. ofMass. in 62.6 seconds. Getchall '59placed third behind Pickering of
Tufts.The century was a heart breaker
for the Engineers as both Veeck '58and Duane '57 were edged out by thetwo U. of Mass. freestylers Carroland Balwin with Mulligan of Tuftsfinishing third. Tech breathed easierwhen Devine '59 and Hortman '58made it clear after only fifty yardsthat MIT would once again comethrough with a clean sweep in the200-yd. backstroke-Devine winningby 7 yds. in the excellent time of
2:23.5 seconds. The 440 was an ex-citing race all the way between Kohl-man '58 and Ham of the U. of Mass.
