The conflict between the rapid expansion of automationon cargo vessels and the longshoreman in need of workwas discussed November 24 in a seminar presented by theNaval Architecture Society. Mr. John Moran, a vice pres-ident of the International Ldngshoreman's Association,and Mr. H. M. Tiedemann, a designer of automated sys-tems for cargo ships, were the guest speakers.
In presenting the longshoreman's point of view, Mr.Moran emphasized the consideration needed for thosedock-workers who would be displaced by automation. Hestated that these men, many of whom have devoted many

documentary film, it is, nonetheless, eh lafilin with a viewpoint. The centralfigure is a forty-year old workingnman who comes to Manhattan's skidrow, the Bowery. The film focuses onhis inner struggle as he tries lo es-cape the hopeless atmosphere of theBowery limbo. The compassionatenarrative leaves him on a symbolicstreet corner, the Bowery on one side,
the way to a job in Chicago, his "laststand", on the other. Part of the ex-ceptional honesty of this film comesfrom Mr. Rogosin's use of actual in-habitants of the Bowery as "actors"Ray Salyer, who plays the leadingrole, was so impressive in his actingthat he was immediately offered a.$40,000 movie contract; he turned it
down with the comment: "I just wantto be left alone ... . There is nothingelse in life but the booze." He wentback to the Bowery, where twr mnen gwho had played his friends in the Tom Lkaro/flm had died of alcoholism soon after nments ir. its completion. week.ON' THE BOWERY was awarded Teehn

years to work on the docks, must notbe left by the wayside; rather, "Someunderstanding must be shown thosewho built what we have today." Healso stated that labor is in no way op-posed to change, provided that thechange provides a place for theworker. "Management", he said,"must be practical. It must give in".
Mr. Tiedemann, presenting theshipowners' side of the issue, said thatmanagement is aware of the problemsconfronting labor, and that progressin automation involves a compensationfor the worker. However, he alsopointed out that technology will ad-vance, and it is thus the obligation ofboth nmanagement and labor to insureti'at this advance will not lead to a"choking" of the economy. He notedthat automation provides new jobs,and there would be no mass displace-ment of worlkers. "Union and indus-try ale responsible to each other.Labor must share this responsibility,and, if it does so, it will share in theprofits", he concluded.
Professor AW'hite, of the IndustrialManagement Department, served asmoderator at the seminar. He sum-marized the discussion by pointing outthat both men were definitely awareof all the issues involved, and that thiswould make constructive collectivebargaining possible.
The longshoremen recently signed athree-year contract, ending a strikewhich threatened to tie up all foreign,and much domestic, commercial, traf-fic.

Engineer's Role StressedBy Stratton in N. Y. Speech
President Julius A. Stratton was the speaker at the annual dinner of theMIT Club of New York at the Hotel Biltmore last Wednesday. In his speech,entitled "The Next Hundred Years at MIT", he claimed that science and en-gineering would be amnong the most powerful forces shaping American society,and called for a reaffirmation of the role of the engineer as well as that of thescientist.
"Impossible though it may be to forecast the outcome of specific events,one can designate the principal forces that are shaping the new century," Dr.Stratton said. "It seems to me without question that the three most significantmovements of our age are these:
"1. The scientific revolution;"2. The concentration of power in two great, rival nations - the United
States and Russia;'"3. The emergence and rise of new countries with high national aspirations
from among the underdeveloped areas of the earth."I shall make no attempt to elaborate upon any one of these three points.
Nor do I really need to. They speak for themselves. Let me emphasize only this:the second and third movements are corollaries of the first. The Soviet Union,
and now the expanding- economic andindustrial growth of the so-called un-derdeveloped countries, are as muchthe products of technological as ofpolitical revolutioni.
"The one, over'iding lesson that wemus't draw from these observations isthat never again can we consider sci-ence and engineering as disciplinesrem-ote from the majior concerns ofmankind. Henceforth the course ofscience in the United States i'll beinextricably interwoven with ourmeasures of defense and survival,with the economic status of our citi-zens, and intimately related to everyfacet of our -way of life."
Recalling' that MIT "had its rootsin a plan for the education of the en--gineer," Dr. Stratton said: "The his-tory of our country is in large measure
the history of magnificent engineering coupled with a genius for the manage-ment of great enterprises. Nothing that I can foresee leads me to believe thatthe role of the engineer will diminish in importance in the years ahead. On thecontrary, as the forces of economic and political competition bear in upon usfrom all sides, the demands upon the American engineer will continue to grow,and his profession will become increasingly difficult and exacting.
"It is true, of course, that for many years pure science was almost whollyneglected in the United States - and it is good that we have finally recognizedthe importance of basic research; but we must not in the process lose our per-spective. We need urgently at this juncture to recapture the imagination ofyoung people, and of high school students in particular, on behalf of engi-neering. We must show them indeed that engineering as well as science holdsout enormous challenge for the future and that in this profession they may findnot only the satisfaction of useful accomplishment, but also the joy of high

set ablaze last Sunday evening by a carelessly lit match. According to DeanFassett, the flammability of Marcus' Room was largely increased when somepractical jokers bedeceked the room with many toilet-paper streamers taped tothe walls and ceiling.
When the blaze could not be quelled by hand extinguishers, the CambridgeFire Department was notified at 6:10 P.M. and canie with 33 strong, three fireengines, 2 ladder trucks, and 1 rescue engine. Scorched walls and ceiling com-prised the damnage, estimated by Dean Fassett to be $2,000. The room has beenalready repainted, and Marcus has moved back.

Advise and Consent lay Allen Drury (Doubleday andCompany, 616 pp..) is a novel about the United StatesSenate, a subject Mr. Drury seems very well acquaintedwith. For fifteen years he was Washington correspondentfor several newspapers; the last seven of those were in theemployment of the New York Times.
The main plot of Advise and Consent has to do with thenomination of one Robert A. Leffingwell to the office ofSecretary of State. Mr. Leffingwell is a man of question-able opinions on foreign policy. When evidence is un-earthed which reveals Leffingwell to have been a Com-munist, pressure is brought to bear on the chairman of theinvestigating subcommittee to suppress this evidence, andit is around this political frame that the story is woven.
The setting for Advise and Consent is sometime in thefuture, several Presidents after Eisenhower, but the bookseems to be peopled with characters drawn from the pres-ent and near past. There is, for instance, the Senator fromthe Midwest who wants very badly to be President butkeeps being defeated at the party's national convention.The Indian Ambassador talks a doctrine which sounds asif Nehru wrote it, while the Russian Ambassador is givena line similar to Khruschev's we-will-bury-you remark.
Ihe concept which dominates the book is the honesty,integrity, and intelligence of the Senators. Over and overthe author stresses that what these legislators want is whatis best for the country - not their individual regions orstates in particular. Bringing forth the fact that Leffingtonwas once a Communist is not used as a reason for blockingthe nomination (witch-hunt style) but rather a method.
Advise and Consent has two main faults. First, the bookis too long. The account of schemes and counterschemesbecomes obstructive to the course of the book. Second, Mr.Drury twice stretches the tension of his story to a breakingpoint and then immediately interjects a rather lengthybiography of a main character. This not only rather abruptlyinterrupts the story, but the reader tends to rush throughthese biographies and so might miss a rather well con-cealed passage which develops into a major part of the plot.
In general, Advise and Consent is a taut, unusually sus-penseful novel. Its nature is such that I feel it will be ofinterest to any American citizen now and for a long timeto come.

This is a heartrending story of a hnamed Rester Prynne who is so poewhat to eat nor a roof to cover her Ibrawny girl and she never complapatience is rewarded: in the summer (scholarship to Alabama.
Hard-worldng Hester soon wins heshe is a shoo-in for All-Conference hoWar Between the States and footbalduration.
In today's hand South managed to go down on a ThreeNo Trump hand that should produce an overtrick withcareful play and normal defense. The bidding was shortand to the point, and game in No Trump is the logicalplace to play the hand.
The opening lead was won with the ace of spades, andthe queen of hearts was led for a finesse. East took his kingand returned a spade. South wisely held up dummy's king,but had to take it on the third lead of the suit. As Southhad only eight tricks off the top at this point, he had totake finesse in diamonds. YWest won his king of diamondsand his two remaining spades for a total of five defensivetricks.
Note, however, that if South goes to dummy with theking of clubs on the second trick, and the diamond finesseis taken before the heart finesse, he has no problem. Westis allowed to hold his second spade lead, and if he continuesspades the heart finesse can be taken without risk, as Eastnow has no spades to return. The contract makes with anovertrick.
The defense can hold the contract to three if Westswitched to the queen of clubs after leading the secondround of spades. He is then in a position to take the jackwhen his partner'gets the lead with his king of hearts, andthe defenders get one trick in each suit. But the contractshould not be set.

LITTLE WOMENby Louisa May "Bubbles" Alcott
The Marches are a very happy family-and for no discerniblereason. They are poor as snakes; they work from cockcrow toevensong; their dear old father Philip is away with the Unionarmies; and they can't do a thing with their hair.
Still, nothing can dampen the spirits of madcap Meg, jocularJo, buoyant Beth, animated Amy, and crazy old Marmnee, asthe merry March girls laughingly call their lovable mother.
Well sir, one Christmas the March girls get an invitation to aball. They are dying to go because they never have any fun atall except maybe a few chuckles during the hog-renderingseason. But Beth reminds her sisters that they can hardly gotraipsing off to a ball and leave poor Maxmee all alone atChristmas time. The sisters swear a lot, but they finally agreewith Beth.
Mstmee, however, will not hear of it. "Land's sakes, littlewomen!" she cries. "You must go to the ball and have somefun. There will be fruit punch and Toll House cookies andEarly American sandwiches. Best of all, there will be morrisdancing. Oh, how your father and I used to love that I"
"I never knew father could dance," cries Meg."Oh yeah?" cries Marmee. "You should have seen Philip
morri.""Was Philip a good morriser?" cries Jo."The bestl " cries Matmee. "Philip could morris in soft pack
or bip-top box and was full of fine, fresh, natmal mildness!"The girls are cheered to hear this and go to the ball. Marmee
stays home alone, but soon gets a wonderful surprise: Philipcomes back from the war I
When the girls return from the ball, they find Marmee andPhilip morising, and they cry ll- s "Hs _h " and throw the Ekebonnets in the air, where they are to this dlay.

Oath Et Al.
To THE EDITOR:
Presidents Pusey, Griswold, Goheen, and their ilk oughtto be very happy now. They have told that nasty old UnitedStates Government where to go. The nerve of those bureau-crats - requiring potential recipients of federal loans underthe National Defense Education Act to disavow member-ship in, or support of, organizations which aim for violentoverthrow of our government! Just whom do they thinkthey are -handing out money to our fine universities, butattaching strings to it? Every right-thinking liberal knowsthat even the slightest intrusion of the government intouniversity policy is a grave threat to Academic Freedom.
Frankly, I just don't understand. What the presidentsof Harvard, Yale, Princeton, et al, seem to be claiming isthat a student's political beliefs should have nothing what-soever to do with whether he or she is worthy for federalfinancial assistance. Carrying this credo to its ridiculousconclusion, it is conceivable to imagine a Klaus Fuchs re-ceiving a government loan so that he might continue hisresearches into bigger and better ways to blow the despic-able United States to smithereens.
I don't claim that the loyalty-oath will actually havemuch effectiveness in weeding out undeserving applicants,but I can't comprehend how anyone could challenge theright of the government to ask for such an affidavit fromprospective borrowers. I personally, have filled out affida-vits of loyalty in applying for National Science FoundationFellowships. In no way do I feel that the government wasinfringing on my personal freedom or compelling me todo something distasteful. It is thus very dismaying for meto read of the spurious moral indignation and unrealisticattitude displayed by the prexios of some of our most dis-tinguished institutions of learning.
Peter D. Rosenbaum
TO THE EDITOR:
While President Stratton, Dr. Killian et al. wildly de-nounce the Loyalty Oath, the resolution passed by InstituteCommittee last May exercised a commendably maturerestraint from any precipitate opinion.
As Wv. B. Yeats wrote,Where, where but here have Pride and Truth,That long to give themselves for wage,To shake their wicked sides at youthRestraining reckless middle-age?

Original Version of
Honneger Oratorio
In Kresge Dec. 13In the summer of 192i "King
David" was first performed at a littletheater high above Lake Geneva inSwitzerland, and Arthur Honeggerbecame famous almost overnight. Con-ducting at the celebrated occasion wasa young Swiss musician named PaulBoepple. Now 38 years later, on theinvitation of Klaus Liepmann, pro-fessor of music at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology, Paul Boepplewill conduct the Bennington CollegeChoir and the MIT Glee Club andSymphony Orchestra in the originalorchestration of "King David" on Sun-day, December 13, in Kresge Audito-rium, at 3 P.M.
The dramatic oratorio combineschorus, soloists and orchestra withthe narrative of David's rise fromlowly shepherd to prophet-king.Originally composed as orchestral ac-companiment for Rene Morax's bibli-cal drama, the music so far surpassedthe play that Honegger wrote a second"concert version" for symphony or-chestra, now widely performed. Be-lieving the orginal version to be farsuperior for dramatic choral produc-tion, Professor Liepmann selected itfor the MIT presentation.
Mixed Orchestration
"King David" combines Old Testa-ment story with New Testament philo-sophy, and correspondingly Honeggerembraces two musical styles: the "pri-mitive" oriental tone color and per-cussion and the polyphonic style ofBach. The 17-piece orchestra includestwo flutes, one oboe, two clarinets, onebassoon, one French horn, two trum-pets, one trombone, one double bass,celesta, harmonium, piano, and threepercussion players. Chorus and solo-ists sometimes provide commentary onthe action of the narrative, as inGreek drama.
Soloists for "King David" will beJoyce McIntosh, soprano, Robin Long-anecker, alto, and Donald Sullivan,tenor. Robert Brooks, chairman of thePoets' Theatre in Cambridge, willnarrate the production.

achievement.Dr. Stratton described plans for the use of a grant of more than $9,000,000
recently given to MIT by the Ford Foundation for the advancement of engi-neering education. The Ford funds, he said, have been designated for thefollowing major purposes:
!. $3,500,000 to endow seven professorships in newly emerging fields ofengineering.
2. $1,000,000 for postdoctoral teaching internships - towards our re-sponsibility to replenish the ranks of teachers.
3. $3,000,000 for the revision and development of engineering curricula.4. $1,500,000 for the development of new instructional laboratories."The Ford grant brings to MIT one of the most exciting opportunities for
educational achievement in its history. It also imposes on us an enormousresponsibility," Dr. Stratton said.
"The most critical task that lies ahead in the revision of engineering cur-ricuia," he emphasized, "will be that of maintaining a proper balance between,art and science. Modern engineering has its roots in and draws its entire sus-tenance from physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The time gap between sci-entific discovery and useful application is growing steadily smaller. Today'sfrontiers reveal tomorrow's industry. Solid state and nuclear physics, polymerchemistry, abstract algebra and information theory already are incorporatedinto engineering. Clearly the great engineers of the future must have the in-tellectual grasp to cope with that kind of a technological world.
"I think it desirable and indeed inevitable that future MIT students ofengineering will be far more thoroughly grounded in mathematics and thebasic sciences than most of us of preceding generations. But man is a doer as
L,,ell as a thinker. And I most ardently hope that we shall make equal progressin the development of those counterbalancing qualities of the ideal engineer-the powers of judgment and decision, the sense of responsibility towards clientand community, a feel for measure and cost, an ethical approach to his callingthat is the mark of every high profession."
The toastmaster at the dinner, Charles George Dandrow, a vice presidentof Johns-Manville, of Bronxville, presented the Silver Stein award, given annu-ally to an MIT alumnus in recognition of outstanding service, to Alfred ThomasGlassett, '20, of Bronxville, N. Y., a civil engineer and president of the W. J.Barney Corporation. Hosts for the dinner were E. C. Edgar, Chapaqua, presi-dent of the MIT Club of New York, and A. D. Green of Westfield, N. J., presi-(lent of the MIT Club of Northern New Jersey, which alas a co-sponsor of theaffair.

Announcing a comprehensivePostgraduate Education Program forengineers, scientists and mathematicians
Ever since the founding of the company some forty years ago, IBM has recognized educa-
tion as an integral and continuing part of a professional person's life.
Through formal educational programs within the company, and through affiliations with
universities, it has long been possible for IBM employees to earn scholastic credits.
Now a comprehensive Postgraduate Education Program, surpassing any previous programs,
has been initiated at IBM for plant and laboratory personnel.
ADVANCED DEGREE UNIVERSITY PLAN A qualified engineer, sci-
entist or mathematician, who has been with IBM at least a year,
may compete for a fellowship or a scholarship in selected fields
at the university which he believes offers the finest opportunities
for advanced study. All benefits that would normally accrue if the
candidate were on active employment will be retained.
e Doctoral Fellowships: Selected candidates will receive full tuition,
fees and regular salaries for full-time study up to three years.
O Masters' Scholarships: Selected candidates will receive full tuition,
fees and regular salaries for an academic year of full-time study.
ADVANCED DEGRPEE ON-SITE PLAN A qualified engineer, scientist,
or mathematician will have the opportunity to undertake part-
time graduate studies at an IBM plant or laboratory, concurrent
with active employment.e Masters' Degrees: Candidates will be able to complete their
studies at company expense under programs operated in conjunc-
tion with universities near IBM facilities.
ADVANCED STUDY PLAN (NONDEGREE) These studies offer con-tinued educational opportunity throughout a career at IBM. Theyare not generally degree-oriented. Given at or near IBMi facilities,they are designed to help retain mastery over basic engineering,science, and mathematical subjects and to gain knowledge in
advanced fields such as number theory, finite mathematics, mag-netism, solid state physics, and network analyses.

Conductor BoeppleHawzaiiarn Sulmm erStuies Offered Tells of Honegger's
Musical TalentsDirector of the Dessoff Choirs in
New York and member of the Ben-nington College faculty, Paul Boepplestudied at the Basel Conservatory, theRoyal Academy for Music in Munich,and the Dalcroze Institute at Geneva.After teaching for sev-en years asE. Jaques-Dalcroze's assistant, hecame to the United States (1926) todirect the Da!croze School of Music inNew York. He has served on thefaculty of the New School for SocialResearch in New York, the MasterSchool of the Chicago Musical Col-lege, Westminster Choir College atPrinceton, N. J., the Univelrsity ofMichigan, and Bennington College,Vt. He has conducted world pre-mieres of "Judith" by Honegger and"De Profundis" and "Cantata III" byErnst Levy, and American premieresof "Nicolas de Flue" by Honegger and"Golgotha" by Frank Martin, as w\ellas Honeggelr's "King David" whichhe describes below in his own words.
"Late in February of 1921 RendMorax, the Swiss-French playwright,in quest of music for his biblical play"King David" with which, after seven
vwal years, he planned to reopen theTheatre du Jorat, urged E. Jaques-Dalcroze to compose the score. Hewas also looking for a musical direc-tor. Much involv-ed in a stagew-ork ofhis own, Dalcroze declined, suggest-ing the then still little known Honeg-ger for the task and me as conductor.We were both hired. About March 1st,Honegger, then in Paris, set to wtork,while I waited at Geneva for the firstsigns of a score. Early in April thefirst pages began to arrive, handsome-ly engraved by a music plrinter wdhopractically camped on Honegger'sdoorstep. My enthusiasm rose witheveriy installment, and I started re-hearsing on a high pitch of excite-ment. The choirists, farnm-boys andgirls from the small villages ofMezieres and Carrouge, high aboveLake Geneva where the Theatre duJorat is located, did not share my en-thusiasm at once. But when they be-gan to become familiar with the mu-sic, they caught on fire, too, andceased to complain about the 'hor-rible dissonances.' By opening daythey were all 'there,' if not always inthe best of tune. The band of windand percussion players which I hadrecirfted from the Orchestre de laSuisse Romande was excellent, andso were the soloists. They all did aremarkable job in the few weeks wehad.
"Honegger, who joined us sometimein May, was of course the guidingspirit of us musicians. I was still verygreen, for this was my first conduct-ing job of any consequence. ButHonegger, easy-going and sparingwith advice, by the warmth of hisnature made everything seem easy.I had gone to fetch him at the Lau-sanne R.R Station, but found no signof him, for he had taken an earliertrain. By coincidence we met an hourlater on the platform of a streetcar.I stared at the unmistakable originalof a picture I had seen and asked,'Honegger?" 'Ma foi, oui. Boepple?'·Lui-meme. 'Sans biaque?; And aswe shook hands he said, 'Sott'i schabevor mer ufe gonnt?' (Swiss Germanfor 'Should I shave before we go upthere ?) - as if we had been friendsof old. We were from that momenton -- and decided that he didn't needto shave!

Heavily loaded with sophomores, the varsity hockey team is hard at wo0preparing for competition that begins a week from next Tuesday at the Unitversity of New Hampshire. E
On the ice for the Beavers this winter will be only four returning lettermen, so Coach Ben Martin has quite a bit of work to do to utilize the talent ufrom last year's freshman squad. Three of the returnees will probably tearn uto form a forward line with George Lermer, '60 at center, and team captaiGeorge Kirk, '60 and Billy Scanlon at the wings.

Although three deep at the goalieposition, there is a shortage of experi-enced defensemen. Only Hank Schlei-nitz, '61, has varsity playing behindhim on defense. The team will sorelyfeel the loss of Paul Ekberg, '59 andNick Alter, '61.
The New Hampshire game will bethe first of a reduced ten game sched-ule which includes only one newcomer,Wesleyan, while Cornell, Hamilton,Williams and Army have beendropped. Eight of this winter's con-tests will be played at the BriggsField Rink, giving the Techmen anadvantage. A game slated for nextSaturday with Columbia has been can-celled.
With less pressure on the team thisyear, they should improve on lastseason's 1-11-1 record.

Already underway and off to a finestart is the Tech pistol team. Themen have shot four matches in theGreater Boston Pistol League, defeat-ing all of their opponents, includingHarvard.
The prospects for the shooters dur-ing the 1960 season look very prom-ising. Leading the squad are retuan-ing lettermen, Captain Tom Remmers,'60 and Dennis Kelley, '60. Addedstrength should also be given by anewcomer to the squad, ex-marineand NRA master, Vincent Zappala,'63.

Beside having considerable talentlined up for niat worlk, the team spilitis higher than it previously has beenclue to lthe fact that they have newquarters in the DuPont Athletic Cen-ter. The well lighted and heatedwrestling room is a welcome changefrom the Cage. Along with the newroom is a new -wrestling mat thatmakes the Beaver facilities among thebest.
Coaching for tile second year isAlex Sotir. Alex wonl the Newv En-gland Intercollegiate HeavyweightWrestling championships in 1954 andpredicts a winning season for the MITWr7estlers.

Koch. a 6-4 sharpshooter, found thenets for a 24 point average with lastyears frosh. His tendency to commitfouls early in the play, however, oc-casionally impairs his effectiveness inthe final periods.
Burns, a 6-2 corner-man, employs ajump shot as his rain offensive wea-pon. Hallee, a varsity returnee, sawlimited action last season.

The varsity basketball team willopen its 16 game season against Trin-
_ ity at Hartford, Connecticut, tomor-Frow night. Judging from the schedule,Iwhich has been softened by the elim-;ination of such comparatively stl'ong
teams as Boston University and Army,'-the cagers should improve on lastYear's 3-13 mark.
The cagers, under rookie coach JackBarry, will enter the season with 12sophomores on the squad. The restof the team is composed of men whohvere used sparingly last year.
Captain Hugh Morrows·, '60, whoaieraged 17.6 points a game last year,is the lone returning letterman.
In addition to the lack of seasonedplayers and the usual conflicts be-tieen academic and athletic interests,;the team is also plagued by injuries..Morro-w has been working out despitean injured knee while another Te-turnee, Al Gaston, '61, is in the in-Irmary.
MIT's indoor track team, really'indoors" for the first time this sea-;on, will inaugurate the winter sea-ion with the first meet ever to be run
Over the new track in Rockwell Cage.The Cindermen will face BostonAollege on December 12.
Eight lettermen are returning to the;quad this year. These are Don4orrison, 61, sprints and broad jumpXaptain Bill Nicholson, '60, weights;iim Long, '60, sveights; Joe Davis, '61,Urdles and high jump; Bob Slusser,60 and George NWithbroe, '61, middlelistances; Nate Liskov, '60, pole vault;ftd Bob Williamson, '60, sprints.
Seasoned by a year of varsity com-petition -rill be Herb Grieves, '61,Herb Wegener, '61, and Paul Robert-son, '61, mile and two nile, last year'sJV letter winners. Help is also ex-pected from Neil Bacote, '62, lastyear's top freshman scorer, in thesprints; Steve Banks, '62, in the mile;Rog Weissinger, '62, in the 1000; Lar-ry Copola, '62, in the 600; and RayLandis, '62, and Dick Rossman, '61,in the weights.
Brightest lights on the yearlings'horizon at present appear to be TomGoddard, Roger Hinrichs, and ChuckSigwart, distances; Bill Graham, polevault; Forest Green and Steve Hester,hurdles; Stu Kurtz, middle distance;and Al Ramo, weights.
Good Turnout"Bigger and better" characterizes
the track team's situation this year.With eight lettermen returning ascompared to two last season, the var-sity are looking forward to a success-ful season. In addition to head coachArt Farnham, and assistant coach AlSotir, the thinclads have a new as-sistant coach, Dick Erickson, who isalso freshman crew mentor.
The facilities are better. This year,for the first time the Beaver runnershave an indoor track, the 10-lap ovalin Rockwell Cage, thus giving themthe advantage of regular practice, in-stead of their being at the whims ofthe weathelran. This has alreadypaid off in attracting a large fresh-man turnout. The varsity and fresh-man aggregations anticipate more suc-cessful campaigns than last winter's1-3 and 1-4 slates.
