B division, Dick Knapp tied at 41

Jack Wood's Predictions Are True
As predicted by Jack Wood, rain
made Sunday a great day iL Beaver
racing history. With skippers skilled
in taking advantage of a stiff breeze,
and with chances of -being "ganged up
on" minimized, Tech was able to take
full advantage of the squally nor'-
easter that caused two capsizes.

ference dance last Friday justly received less
than usual adverse criticism.
The dance was definitely not stiff and the
two dance bands worked together very
nicely. As usual in such arrangements, the
small band was forced to bear the greater
burden of the playing while the Big Name
Band took all the credit. Clinton proved to
be very stingy of his music, but frequent
tiresome intermissions were lacking because
of the two bands.
With the intermission program, the I.F.C.
has made a step in the right direction toward
relieving the stiffness of formal dances. The
choice of entertainers was fortunate, none of
them dragging on to the point where they
became boresome.
This dance should serve as a model for
future dance committees, which should tryto f urther the work that the I.F.C. hasstarted. It should not be too long an evolu-tionary process before a big dance will not
be forced to have a big name band to sell.
tickets. Then all the committees will be able
to put more time and money on the inci-dentals that make a dance. The next step
could be favors or a combinations favor-program. This practice is popular at other
schools and might impress a visiting datemore than a big name band.

Saturday Mixed Swimming
Editor, The Tech
Dear Sir:
We would like to lend our support to your move to
have the pool open for mixed swimming on Saturdays.
It seems to us that this would give a large group of
students the chance to show and use the Alumni Pool
when they are entertaining weekend guests.
It seems to us that this idea should certainly be
given a chance. Considering the short time till exams,
we would propose that mixed swimming be put into
practice on Saturdays for a trial period. At the end
of four weeks (exam time) it could be determined
whether the measure is worth the cost. At any rate
we heartily support the move of opening the Alumni
Pool on Saturdays for mixed swimming.
Yours truly,
Hans R. Wittels, '43; William R. Moulton, '43;
Spencer A. Schilling, '44; Geza E. Neuman, '42;
Carl Zeita, '42; H. A. Helm, '42;

Edgar F. Smith, '41; Monroe R. Brown, '42;
J. Barrie Mackenzie, '43; Israel Z. Lenlsner, '43;
W. Lob, '41; and David Josefowitz, '41.
(Editor's Note: The Tech has also received endorse-
ments from a number of the Institute secretaries for
the Saturday mixedqbathing proposal, on the grounds
that it would enable them to enjoy a swim [after their
work is finished early Saturday] without the present
inconvenience of having to return to the Institute
Monday evenings.)I

NO ACTION AS YET,
No action has yet been taken in the case
of the Student-Faculty Committee, either ine
appointing a chairman for next year or in re-
vising the constitution so that the committee
would have more power.
A letter published in these columns states
that it is the man and not the committee that
can make or break the job. We feel that
there are definite faults to the organization
as it now stands, but the correction of these
faults alone is not enough. An energetic
chairman must have charge.
Since it is so late in the term it may behard to accomplish all of the work that will
be necessary but constructive planning for
next year is the least that we expect, either;by the present chairman or the new one.
The Institute Administration will be the
most important factor in any reorganization
since they will be the ones wrho will have to
delegate the necessary powers.
MARXISM AT HARVARD
That communist hunter and fifth-columnl-
ist buster, Walter Winchell, has informed us
via his Sunday broadcast, that Harvard U~ni-
versity- has gone in Lor M4arxism to a- very
'f unny' extent.Says Walt: Groucho Marx (recently from
the West) has been off ered and has acceptedthe chair of Professor of Humor at Harvard,
and will take his post next September. This
scoop by Winchell was not denied by the
Harvard authorities, said this Monday's
Harvard Crimson.We personally would prefer Harpo. Just
think of a professor with Harpo's lecturing
ability! But we don't want to jump to con-
clusions as to why Harvard wants or needs
Groucho.Nevertheless you all know that one of the
essentials of a rounded personality and one
of the secrets of success is a good sense of
humor. And according to Professor Magoun
one also needs a good sense of humor in order
to make a good husband.-Maybe? But wewouldn't want to jump to conclusions!
IT'S A GOOD START
A continuous series of gripes has been
prevalent in recent years about the state of
Technology dances. These complaints
naturally differ with the individual, some
want a "big name band" while others want
a danceable band. A traditional dissatisfac-
tion is the stiffness and formality of the big
dances. ,For a big dance, the Inter-Fraternity Con-

Editor, The Tech
Dear Sir:
In considerig. the editorial in your 4/18/41 issue on
the Student Faculty Committee, it occurs to me that
the handling of matters of mutual interest would re-
quire just such a committee.
As in all such things, the job is What the person
running it makes it. It would seem like an excellent
opportunity for some IJstitute civic service by The
Tech in promoting someone of known aglglessiveness
fo! the job.Yours truly,

Trackmen WinAgainst Colby
Beavers Take TwelveOf Fifteen EventsIn Opening Meet
Undaunted 'by icy wind and frigid
weather, the Cardinal and Gray
tracksters overwhelmed the Colby
blue in the track season lid-lifter on
Briggs Field last Saturday afternoon.
Winning twelve of the fifteen events,
the Beavers swamped the White
Mules 94 2/3 to 40 1/3.
Led by Captain Lew Jester, who
won -both hurdling contests, the Briggs
Fielders lost only the closely con-
tested qularter-mile, broad jump and
javelin events. Rudy Hensel, capping
both the 100 and 220 yard dashes, ran
the 100 in 9.9 seconds which would
have officially broken the previous
varsity record of 10 seconds if the
wind had not -been above the three
nlile limit.
Colt~y Takes Three
Jim Bateman of Colby won the
quarter, and his colleagues, Jack
Fifield and Harry -Bubar, took the
broad jump and javelin throw, re-
spectively. The longer runs were won
by the following Tech men: GeneBrady, the 880; Bob Miller, the mile;
and Stan Backei', the two mile.
In the field events, John Nagle sur-
-passed all other entries in the high
jump and shot put, while in the pole
vault contest a curious situation was
reached when Bruce Horst and
Gregory Azarian tied foi- first. The
discus and hammer throws w ere taken
iby Jack Madwed and John Meier,
- respectively.- I

Nine SwampsCrimson Frosh12-4 Saturday
Seven Run RallyIn Lucky SeventhDecides Season Opener
Playing in weather more suited to
football than baseball, the Tech Inde-
pendent nine walloped Harvard's frosh
by the score of 12 to 4 last Saturday
afternoon on the Coop Field. Captain-
Manager Ed Beaupre allowed only
three hits by the Crimson Babes in
the eight innings he pitched.
The Harvard nine, leading four to
two in the seventh inning, completely
fell apart. With the aid of two errors,
a free pass, and singles by Broderick,
Schaefer, and Christison the Techmen
scored seven times. Schaefer's single,
a hard clean hit to left, came with the
bases loaded and two men out.
Strikes Out Nine
Besides holding the neophytes from
up-river to three hits, Beaupre struck
out nine of the Harvard -boys. Only
one earned run weas scored on him.
Other men outstanding for the Beav-
ers were Bill "Rabbit" Sadler, who
played a blang up game at second base,
and Dave Christison, who with Beau-
.pre got the Beaver's only extra base
hits. Next game for the Tech Inde-
-pendents will be on Saturday against
the Boston Boys Club.
