This rule is intended to force new houses to gi-ve satisfactory evidence of its sta- biltity and self-suficiency. The oppo- sition claimed that the Dover Club, which hopes eventually to become af- ffIated with Zeta Beta Tau, a na- tioanal Jewish fraternity, is, in fact, |alneady affiliated with that body. Of the twenty-six member frater- ~nities in the IFC, foutr voted against the Dover C~lub petition.

Transfer Students Organized Dovrer The idea of forming the living group which has come to be called the Dover Club was conceived in Feb- ruary nineteen fifty-six by a number of dormitory residents whose efforts were spearheaded by two transfer students, Jack Segall and Lyle Brown. These two ren, from Syracuse and McGill Universities, respectively, had both been active members in the na- tional fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. In an attempt to "get the ball rolling", the group contacted' IFC last spring and informed the body as to its in- tentions. Because of the adoption of certain new procedures, action on the Dover Club petition was post- poned until this team. These new rules allow the club to receive a loan from a sponsoring body in one year. Until this time the members will sup- port the group out of personal r e- sources. TEP Started in 1954 TEP Club has existed on the MIT campus for over two years; in 1954 it grew into a living group from the ideas of about twelve dorm men. This group is described, in the petition which they presented to IFC, as ". . . strong both physically and spir- itually." TEP has now furnished their house, located at 488 Beacon St. "as a fraternity house should be fur- nished" and has "been able to achieve a sound financial position." The lmost contr oversial aspect oI the TEP petition was their financial situation. The method which they nowt employ is to collect bills throughout the term, thus closing the books only 'at the end of this period. However, they recognize the "many serious drawbacks" of this method and plan to overhaul the system as soon. as pos- sible. A Hungarian university student, a leader in the fight for freedom, asked an MIT audience yesterday to "send a request to the President" urging strong action against the Soviet inter- vention in Hungary. Noting that Hun- garian students sparked a nationwide rebellion in his country, Istvan Laszlo (an assumed name) called on Ameri- can students to take the lead in arous- ing American public opinion. Laszlo was one of three speakers at a rally, in Kresge Auditorium at five p.m. yesterday, sponsored by the National Student Association. Al- though the rally wvas conceived only at the last minute, over five hundred persons attended. The other two speakers were Prof. Lerner, an MIT political scientist, and Rev. St. Ivany, a naturalized Ameri- can -efho novas a leader in the pre-Com- munist regime in Hungary, an XIIT lectures until four years ago, and is now the New England Chairman of the International Rescue Committee. Professor Lerner said that the Hun- garian revolt "calls for a new rule" to guide U. S. cold war policy. He cited it as a case of a "superpower crushing an a I r e a d y - successful revolution." "Hungarians are dying every day; can we do much less," he said. "The most important aspect of the Hungarian revolt was the conquest of fear," noted Reverend St. Ivany, "and we must follow this example set by the people of Hungary." He then dis- missed the fears which, he said, pre- vent the American people from more actively supporting the revolt; among these, the fear of starting World War III the fear that the rebels are pup- pets of a Fascist or other reactionary faction, and the "irntellectual shyness" which has led many Americans to seek "an understanding" of Commu- nism. Laszlo painted a grim picture of the status of the Hungarian student be- fore the revolt. Speaking through an interpeter, Charles E:rney '57, he told of conditions where "there was no place to express free thoughts ... no place to learn what ate wanted to learn. The students presented "a few reso- lutions" to the government, calling for more academic freedom. "The answer was shooting." The students' forty-two point plan then reduced itself to two points: "Russians go home, and free- dom in Huungary." Both Laszlo and Riev. St. Ivany em- phasized that the aim of the. revolu- tion is freedom. "The Hungarian Free- dom Fighters are led by nobody," said the Reverend. "They are defend- ing a righteous cause." "The Hungarian students didn't want Fascism; they wanted free gov- ernment. Speaking to a Tlze Tech reporter later, about the bloodshed in his coun- try, Laszlo commented: "The picture portraying the revo- iution, in "'Life" magazine were too cruel. The revolution is more humane srith the level-headed aim of establish- ing freedom, not terror. The revolt is hoping to build a flee nation, not to revenge Russian atrocities. A student at the University of Sop- ron in Hungary since 1953, twenty- one year old Istvran Laszlo first be- came involved in his country's revolu- tion as a leader of a student governing group at his school. It was partly through college students that the spontaneous revolt was developed, and as soon as fighting broke out Istvan became a military leader of the stu- dents and youth of the Sopron area. However, on the third of this month Istvan left the military combat when he was delegated by his fellow stu- dents to take part in a delegation to the United Nations accompanying Hungary's Minister ol State.

It was decided that the organization should undertake to help Laszlo bring his message tor American college students by scheduling any appearances Xwhich he desired to make. The first such appearance took place at Newtorn College of the Sacred Heart, -near Boston, early yesterday afternoon. The tour continued Mwith MIT in the afternoon and a Harvard date last might.

This was the question wrhich Inscomnm attempted to resolve in its meeting Wednesday. The ques- tion stemmed from a resolution to es- tablish an Institute Committee col- umn in the publication. The lresolu- tion was finally xeferlred to a com- mittee consisting of the Managing Board of Thle Techb, the Executive Committee of Inscomm, and Dear. of Students, John T. Rule. Execomm had previously expressed a position with regard to Thee Tects in a statement i~ncluded in the min- utes of November 12. The statement is as follows: "The Tech received a fhanchise fronl the Undel gr aduate Association as an official newspaper of that association. Student Goveln- ment in its duty to its electors is re- sponsible for the acti ities of the newspaper, especially whe.e its news- reporting and reflection of student opinion is concerned. However, in keeping waith all other periodicals, the editolials appearing in, the newspa- per awe solely the concern or respon- sibility of the editors or the editorial board." In addition to this statement, sev- eral Inscomrn members cited Tine Tech,'s financial relationship to Ins- cormm and its office in Iiscomm-con- trolled Walker Memorial as further proof that the newspapeer is not in- dependent of Inscomm control. Insti- tute Committee, they argued, could, if it wished, dissolve the paper, re- move its Managing Board, or dictate whatever articles (outside of the ed- itorial page) it deemed fit to pyint. In particular, Ed Roberts '57, and Arnie Amstutz '57, urged strongly that Inscomm could and should main- tain a regular column in Tihe Tech, wlritten by Institute Committee men- bers. The resolution which they sup- ported is as follows: "RESOLVED that Institute Conm- mittee, in cooperation with Thie Teclh, establish a column in that publica- tion the purpose of which shall be to plesent the activities of student gov- elrnment as viewed from the Insti- tute Comniitte6. The administration of this feature shall be the respon- sibility of the Undergraduate Associ- ation President, who shall delegate the writing of same to various mem- bers of student govel nment as lie deems apprlopliate." Several Inscoml members, while not denying the authority of that body over the newspaper, spoke against the pl oposal for a column. Larry Spiro '59 felt that it would "cheapen the paper and cheapen Ins- comm by causing dull, uninterest- ing stories to be plrinted." Haxry Flagg '57 felt that the idea is unnec- essary because, "if Inscomm has any- thing important to say, Jack (John A. Friedman '57, editor of The Tecit) will print it." This suggested that Inscomm limit its newspaper-wrlit- ing activities to press releases. Jack Friedinan, The TechL editor, argued against the column, maintain- ing that the newspaper must remain independent to be effective and that partial conti-ol by Inscomm must lead to complete control. A "Student Committee for Free Hun- gary" at Harvaxd issued a long reso- lution concerning U.S. and U.N. re- sponse to the present situation. .ncluded are appeals to the U.S. for full cooperation with the U,N., and strengthening of this body's resolution calling for Soviet withdran.al from Hungary. If, however, the U.N. should fail in alleviating the situation, the resolution recommends U.S. action by sevel ing diplomatic relations with Russia, and refusing to recognize aly puppet Gove ernment in revolt-torn Hungary. Even stronger, it goes on to recommend that this country support volunteer troops to assist the Hungarian people and at the same time declare readiness to oppose further Soviet aggression. i · i · i I'·Lr··\ · '?F ·· 1 if ··· -·;·-i ?r·.L P-!:;*ICI " L"' )t i:''`'' :3·· n L.L- ::ul'":::l,.r:":% ·.I' · ; · 1""''" - -·\'·;.· ... ·.lti :r-,:·c'' L ''.pl-"·I'`C:r.;rl.· . rr ·.. r·- '' 4'"",_ · ·· -:I· 4 ·' sl Pershing Rifles Show their marching Style in last Sunday's Yeteran's Day Parade Iloson. ~~ - 1 ~~~R oom an neAfl I w r~~f"N AM mm ,es l~etatsns Anti-Red Hungacrian Stderz Rebel d Dover Club Challerges MIT Students TOe.iAcet Istvan Left Hungary IStudent Group Organized Bere l To Seek Aid In US

The idea of forming the livinggroup which has come to be calledthe Dover Club was conceived in Feb-ruary nineteen fifty-six by a numberof dormitory residents whose effortswere spearheaded by two transferstudents, Jack Segall and Lyle Brown.These two ren, from Syracuse andMcGill Universities, respectively, hadboth been active members in the na-tional fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau.

A Hungarian university student, aleader in the fight for freedom, askedan MIT audience yesterday to "senda request to the President" urgingstrong action against the Soviet inter-vention in Hungary. Noting that Hun-garian students sparked a nationwiderebellion in his country, Istvan Laszlo(an assumed name) called on Ameri-can students to take the lead in arous-ing American public opinion.

Istvan Laszlo, Student Leader of Hungarian

How niuch control over Tlae Techis legally vested in Institute Commit-tee, and how should this control beexercised? This was the questionwrhich Inscomnm attempted to resolvein its meeting Wednesday. The ques-tion stemmed from a resolution to es-tablish an Institute Committee col-umn in the publication. The lresolu-tion was finally xeferlred to a com-mittee consisting of the Managing

"Candide"Candide, now playing at the Colonial Theatre, is a lush,

"candied" musical. The play, written by Lillian Hellman,is based on the book of the same name by Voltaire. Itfollows the adventures of Candide, a naive young manplayed by Robert Rounseville, as he travels over the worldseeking his love, Lady Cunegonde, played by Barbara Cook.

The play begins as Candide is about to wed Lady Cune-gonde. Unfortunately the marriage is prevented by theHessians conquering the castle in Westphalia just as thewedding is about to begin. The play then follows Candidethrough his life as he goes in search of his love, LadyCunegonde, who disappears during the sack of the castle.During the course of the play Candide travels frorn, West-phalia to Lisbon, then Paris, Buenos Aires, Venice, andfinally back to the ruins of his home. Of course, the playpurports to run a gamut of experiences from rape to in-quisitions.

The orchestral arrangements by Bernstein are excellent,although not pop-type music. The modern music demandsopera trained voices, and nearly turns the play into anoperetta in places. The use of the brass is particularly im-pressive; the singing throughout the play is quite good.

But the lines themselves fail all too often. The wittiestlines in the play are those Voltaire wrote; Miss Hellmanwould have written a better play had she stuck more closelyto Voltaire's lines. The Popian ending is particularly pallid,especially compared to the one in the book. It doesn't strikethe listener as anything but incongruous and ruinous.

The result is' that generally the acting is better than thematerial. Max Adrian, in the dual roles of Dr. Pangloss,the optimist, and Martin, the pessimist, does a notably goodjob, handling the trying acting in excellent fashion. IrraPetina as the old woman, Carmen Matthews as the Coun-tessa, Louis Edmonds as Maximillian, and most of thesupporting cast all do an excellent acting job.

But the play just isn't good enough. To achieve any sortof effect it is forced to augment the acting by such stagetricks as unusual backdrops, panels on wheels that roll inthe manner of a sick elephant across the stage, trick lightingeffects, and floating rafts. The whole effect is to degradesomething not Worthy of degradation. All in all the playis a failure.

Declarer won the opening lead on board and after pullingtrumps proceeded to lead a spade and finesse. West wonwith his ace and returned a club. South took with his aceand then had to lose another club and two more spadesfor down one.

Honever with a bit of thinking the hand is unbeatable.Declarer should pull trumps, play the king of diamonds,a small club to his ace, ruff his last diamond and lead thelosing club, end-playing East. East is forced to lead a spadeor else allow a ruff and a sluff. By forcing the opponentsto lead spades declarer can keep his losses to three tricks.

Well sii, one night she left her rug lying outside. Itrained buckets, and the rug got all matted and shrunlken,and Penelope couldn't unwind it. When the suitors cameback in the morning, the poor frantic woman startedrunning all over the house looking for a place to hide.

Well sir, it happened that Sappho, the poetess, hadcome over the night before to write an ode about Penel-ope's Grecian urn. So she said, "Hey, Penelope, whydon't you hide in this urn? I think it's big enough if you'llkind of squinch down."

So Penelope hopped in the urn, and it concealed herperfectly except for her hair-do which was worn upsweptin the Greek manner.

Well sir, with the suitors pounding on the door, Sap-pho had to move fast. She whipped out a razor and cutoff Penelope's hair. The suitors looked high and low butthey couldn't find Penelope.

LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG MORALSFirst Little Story

Once upon a time when the inventors of the airplanewere very small boys, the roof on their house developeda terrible leak. A repairman was called to fix it. He sethis ladder against the side of the house, but it was avery tall house and his ladder was not quite long enoughto reach the roof.

"Sir, we have an idea," said the boys who even at thattender age were resourceful little chaps. "We will getup on top of the ladder and boost you up on the roof."

So the boys climbed to the top of the ladder, and therepairman came after them, and they tried to boost himup on the roof. But, alas, the plan did not work and theyall came tumbling down in a heap.

MORAL: Two Wrights don't make a rung.

Second Little Story

Once upon a time a German exchange student camefrom Old Heidelberg to an American university. Onenight there was a bull session going on in the room nextto his. "Aeh, excuse me," he said timidly to the group ofyoung men assembled there, "aber what is that heavenlysmell I smell?"

"Why, that is the fragrant aroma of our Philip Morriscigarettes," said one of the men.

"Himmel, such natural tobacco goodness!""It comes in regular size in the handy Snap-Open pack,

or in long size in the new crushproof box....Won't youtry one ?"'

"Dankeschiin," said the German exchange studenthappily, and from that night forward, whenever the menlit up Philip Morris Cigarettes, he never failed to bepresent.

MORAL: Where there's smoke, there's Meger.

Third Little Story

Once upon a time Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, hadherself a mess of trouble in Ithaca. With her husbandaway at the Trojan War, all the local blades were wooingPenelope like crazy. She stalled them by saying shewouldn't make her choice until she finished weaving arug. Each night when her suitors had gone home, Penel-ope, that sly minx, would unravel all the weaving shehad done during the day.

"EIlectra"The garden terrace of Agamemnon's palace in the city

of Argos provides the setting against which unfolds theancient Greek drama, "Electra." The present version of theplay was written by Jean Giraudoux, staged by the StaffPlayers of MIT and directed by Prof. William C. Greene.

Violent and irrational passions clash among certain ofthe protagonists. This Olympian struggle is from time totime alleviated by touches of whimsical humor that concealpiercing analyses of motives and intentions. The story,briefly, concerns a daughter's single-minded passion toavenge her murdered father. Her mother, guilty of thecrime, claims extreme mental cruelty as provocation for thedeed. Around these two swirl the black currents of un-bounded hatred, dragging all concerned to the inevitabledisaster. The daughter's long vanished brother reappearsto become the instrument of revenge. This fact displays toolate the futility of a crusade whose object, justice, can besecured only upon the commission of greater injustice.

Heading the cast was Chelly Baron as "Electra," thedaughter, whose portrayal showed that she has mastered theart of living into her role. She gave an outstanding per-formance where a less sensitive interpretation might haveproduced overacting of this emotional and passionate role.Also of high calibre was the work of Louise Licklider asthe mother, Clytemnestra. She gave a dignified and highlyeffective portrayal, exposing the dangers of Electra's failureto consider the realities of human nature. On this highplane, too, we must mention William Harris as a witty,wise and omniscient beggar, although one who had notmemorized his lines.

It is quite fortunate that the cast was led by these threefine characters because most of the others did not by farcompare with them in ability. They were awkward, appeareduncomfortable, and lacked proper coaching as to movementsand diction. Much material was lost in the first act due tohurried and slurred pronunciation. Many of the minor char-acters gave us the distinct impression that they did not knowwhat to do with their hands. Some of them were so ob-viously false in their presentation as to appear ridiculous.One outstanding general criticism concerns the deplorablenumber of instances when memories failed and lines werelost. Many otherwise well-presented effects were spoiled inthis manner.

A word must be added about the simple but very effectiveset design by Tom Doherty. The costumes also deserve highpraise. Make-up showed imagination and the lighting wasfairly good. There were occasions, though, of too muchbrightness for the small size or the Little Theatre.

In brief, with some effort, the rest of the cast could be

Final playoffs for the intramuralfootball championship got underwaylast Sunday with SAE and ThetaChi recording victories over Phi Gamand the Betas in the first round. Thisweek-end will see the two unbeatenteams meet in what could decide thetitle.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon scored twicein the closing minutes of the secondperiod and went on to roll up their20th straight win by an 18-6 marginover Phi Gamma Delta. Pete Hohorst'57 was the big story as he grabbedthree TD passes from Walt Humann'58 to account for all the scoring. PhiGam started first with Al Beard '59passed twice to Chuck Ingraham '58and Hal Smith '57 before hitting DonAucamp '57 in the end zone and a6.0 lead. From that point on thegame was all SAE as an intercep-tion gave them the ball on the Fiji35 and three plays later behind ex-cellent blocking, Humann hit Hohorstwho made a diving catch for thescore. 2 minutes later another inter-ception gave them the ball at mid-field and after a pass to Browand,Hohorst grabbed a pass in the endzone after it had been batted in theair by two defenders. The second halfwas the same story with Hohorst'sED comning on a play, where he gotbehind the secondary in the righthand corner.

An injury riddled and freshmanlacking Beta team was no match fora smooth moving Theta Chi team

hich rolled to a defisive 21-0 win.

tinued his baseball in the ;minorleagues. He takes over an ine.kperi-enced Tech quintet that can boastonly one returning starter in Cap-tain Mac Jordan '58, but which hasalready demonstrated hustle and spir-it capable of overcoming these handi-caps.

Burke himself, after three days'contact with the team is very pleased,citing their spirit and eagerness tolearn. He plans no drastic change inforni of play as yet, with tile prob-able attack de-emphasizing a pivotoffense as such. The team has just

a little more than two weeks of prac-tice lrenlaining befolre their first gameof the season, against Trinity atHalrtfolrd on the first of December.At present, the "Burkemen" are point-ing to this game and a win herecould be the start of a good season.

FRESHMAN HOCKEY

There will be a rally for all meninterested in freshman hockey nextMonday at 5:15 p.m. at the rink. Itis hoped that the rink will be readyfor action next week and that prac-tice can start soon. Experience is nota Drereauisie.

Fred Browand of SAE and Bob Root of PhiGam fighf if out for a pass from SAEWalt Humann.

The Betas running game was defi-nitely handicapped by the absence oftheir pledges who had taken a sneakthat week-end, and the passing ofTheta Chi's Hank Moesta '58 wasunstoppable.

Theta Chi built up a 15-0 lead inthe first half on TD passes from Mo-esta to Bill Bayer '58 and NickHurst '60 and a safety by John Cad-walleder '60. In the third period Mo-esta, alter.nating passes to Hurst,Bayer, and Al Richman '57 pacedthe attack again, with Bayer gettingthe TD on a diving catch on the goalline.

I GOING iY

John C. Neftleton expects to receive his B.S. in chemical engineer-ing from Villanova University in June 1957. He has served as presi-dent of the student chapter of A.I.Ch.E., and as secretary of PhiKappa Phi fraternity. John is now wondering about the pros andcons of advanced study in his field.

But I've noticed this at Du Pont. Once a man lands ajob in his chosen field and actually begins to work, hissubsequent advancement depends more on demonstratedability than on college degrees. That's true throughoutthe entire company-in scientific work, administration,or what not.

So an advanced degree is not a royal road to anythingat Du Pont, John. But when coupled with proven abili-ties, it is unquestionably helpful to a man in research anddevelopment work. It often gets him off to a faster start.

Robert J. Buch, M.S., Ch.E., came to the Engineering Devel-opment Section of Du Pont's Grasselli Research Division fromthe University of Louisville four years ago. Since then, he hasengaged in many kinds of chemical engineering work, from pilot-plant operation to evaluation of the potential of proposed re-search programs. Within the last year, Bob has taken the re-sponsibility of procuring B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. technical gradu-ates in all phases of chemistry and chemical engineering for theGrasselli Research Division.

ALN advanced degree would undoubtedly have a favorableS effect in technical work, John, but let me enlarge on

that just a little. In your own field (and mine, too) ahigher degree is considered to be evidence of ability incarrying out original research. It is therefore helpful inobtaining work in research and development, where thatskill is definitely important. You might say that it gives aman a head start in proving his ability in those areas.

It's less important in some other areas, though. Forexample, in production or sales work ability for handlinghuman relationships is just as important for advancementas technical competence. If an engineer is sold on pro-duction work or sales, a graduate degree in marketingor business administration might be more helpful to himthan advanced technical training in getting started.

M7ainae Takes MeetA steadily improving MIT cross

country team made one of its bestshowings last Monday as they placedseventh out of fifteen starters in theannual New England Championshipmeet held at Franklin Park. CaptainDave Vaughn '57 ran one of his bestraces of the season as he placed 32ndand bested teammate Pete Carberry'58 who snared the 37th. spot. Alsomaking a good showing for the En-gineers was Rod Swift '58 who close-ly trailed Carberry in the number42 spot and Bob Solenberger '57 closebehind in the 44th position. FinalTech scorer was Glenn Bennett '58while Sars McNulty and Jim Pearsonrounded out the team.

The individual race was X-on byUConn's Lew Steiglitz by a half min-ute margin, but even this win wasnot enough for Connecticut to beatBlaine as the Orono team took thetrophy by a 56-57 margin. Brownedged New Hampshire folr foulrthwith Providence and Rhode Islandalso leading the Tech harsriers.

Bob Murano turned in Tech's bestindividual performance of the day aslie placed seventh among the fresh-men, but Tech's other finishers werefar behind, leaving MIT 12th out of13 teams. Othner yearling harrierswere Ed McCartney 61st., Bob Mul-len 62nd., Steve Williams 71st., andRay Fletcher 85th. Tech's chanceswere definitely hurt by a mistake inregistration which prevented CaptainDan Oliver from competing. Thisweek-end, the team will travel to NewYork for the IC4A meet at Van Colrt-land Park.

Twelve teams from the New En-gland area were represented in the

The TechPsae S;ixI

Tech's fall crew teams sufferedheavily at the hands of their Dart-mouth opponents last Saturday as theGreen rowed to victories in three of

the four races held over the wind-swept Connecticut River. All threeheavyweight boats were beaten withonly the varsity lights able to score.
