For more than thirty-five years there has existed on the MIT campus, a secret senior society called Osiris. Thisleast known and less often mentioned of all student organizations acquires its name from the ancient Egyptian godof the damned, brother and husband of Isis, god of the underworld and judge of the dead.

In further description we quote from the 1941 Technique: "If thre is one organization at the Institute thatthe undergraduate body rarely encounters, that body is Osiris. Indeed, not even the members or purposes are knownto the students. The constitution filed with the Walker Memorial Committee (now Secretariat), gives some clues,and those of a quizzical nature may find solace in the information. From that document one can learn that the mem-

bers of Osiris meet twice in the Spring of each year under the sign of Sirius,

"I sound my barbaric yawp over the Dog-Star, and that there are only two officers (chosen by lot), Osiris andthe roofs of the world." Isis. It is known also . . . that the founders were foresighted enough to writeWalt Whitman, Song of Myself a constitution that could not be amended."

Think you can reach the great The above is one of the rare public descriptions ever given. The Constitu-dome? Why not try? The Tech tion of Osiris has been removed from the files of the Institute Committee forLiterary Supplement is interested at least two years, perhaps more, in spite of the fact that constitutions of allin all your attempts. Send your undergraduate organizations are required to be deposited there.manuscripts to the Offices of TheTech, Room 020, Walker Memorial. This secret society for seniors elects its members in the spring, shortly

_- - - - - after the Class Elections. The membership is composed of about fourteen

i)ne of the key questions to be con-sidered was that of finding amplespace for the use of commuting stu-dents. One suggested solution was toreserve the "blue room" (the room offPritchett Lounge, where the television6 set is located) for lunch and recreationa for commuters. In addition, one of thelounges on the second floor would bereserved as their study room duringi the day, but it would be available forf meetings on a sign-out basis in theevening. The main objection to thissetup is that it is expected to resultI in greater crowds of students and staffin Pritchett and Morss Hall duringlunch hours.Other changes on the second door

- -vould probably include the addition ofseveral offices in what is now a largehall between T.C.A. and FacultyLounge.

The biggest change discussed wasthat of moving the offices of the Ath-letic Association and the Athletic Di-rector to Walker Memorial. The mostG likely site for these offices would prob-ably be in Tyier Lounge.

Institute Committee would probablytalke over a little more space on thefirst floor for files and offices, enablingit to vacate the subcommittee offices

(Continued on pape 6)The score for the show was writ-

ten by John Hsia, and the script isby Jack Bacon. Mr. Hsia wrote partof the music for last year's show,and Mr. Bacon collaborated on thebook and lyrics. Warren Moon, whois one of the singing leads, has expe-lrienced a great deal of professionalwork. He recently sang at the Dor-mitory Christmas Formal and will beheard at the All-Tech Dance.

This is the fiftieth production ofTech Show. The performance datesof March 11, 12 and 13 will mark thefirst use of the main hall of the new-ly finished Kresge Auditorium by anyMIT theatrical group.

The tradition of Tech Show reachesas far back as 1898, when a group of I formation is given and no questionsstudents decided to give a minstrell are answered. If an invitation is ac-show in order Ito raise money forathletics. The show was given in alecture hall in "Tech onE BoylstonStreet". The idea grew, and finally,a matinee performance of a minstrelshow was given in the Hollis StreetTheatre in the Spring of 1899.

For some 18 years thereafter, manyforms of theatrical entertainmentwere attempted.As a result of expe-rience, the management of the 1918Tech Show decided that musical com-edy was the best form for an under-graduate show. This originated a cus-tom that has been followed eversince.

cepted, the candidate takes part in aseries of intriguing incidents, both onthat evening and later, some of whichhave been witnessed. Should a personrefuse on the basis of a previous en-gagement or because his questions- gounanswered, he never knows what hemight have experienced that night, forthere is no second chance. Last year'sinitiates, for instance, had part oftheir curious initiation in an old houseon Beacon Hill, into which they wereled blindfolded by the retiring mem-bers just at dusk. The succeedingmeeting found them participating in

The following statement has beenmade by the Executive Committee ofInstitute Committee:

An editorial in The Tech on Feb-ruary 11th disclosed the existence ofceltain business practices of a ques-tionable ethical nature in the seniorring contract negotiations which hadnever previously been called to the

|attention of Institute -Committee.Recognizing that there ale areas ofethical uncertainty in the method ofcontract negotiations, and havingformulated, in order to meet this situ-ation, a set of operational standardsfor the consideration of Institute Com-mittee, the Executive Committeewould like to dispel any implicationthat there has been any mishandlingof funds or misconduct by the RingCommittee. We stand squarely behindthe integrity of the present Ring Com-mittee and are completely satisfiedthat they have conducted their affairsin good conscience.

The question of equating price ofrings to quality is a matter of judg-

ment. We must assume that when theClass selects its Senior Ring Chair-man it bases its choice upon a trust ofhis personal judgment. Therefore, al-though we may set standards for prac-tice, Institute Committee cannot leg-

| islate judgment standards and shouldmake no attempt to do so.

Eldon H. Reiley, Presidentfor the Executive Committeeof Institute Committee.

Chairman Eldon H. Reiley 555 re-ported to Inscomm at yesterday'smeeting in the Schell Room of Build-ing 52 that the reason recommenda-tions referred to by the Senior Rin-Conmittee chairman did not come be-fore Institute Committee was that thewritten report was not handed in toInstitute Committee until last Friday,after the editorial in The Tech ap-peared. The report contained norecommendations for Institute Com-mittee action other than that it be puton file in the Insconim office for theuse of the next rint chairman, whichhas been the pi ocedui e in the past.

The present senior class oficers andthe alumni office have announced thecomplete revision of permanent classoffices. The offices of permanent presi-dent and vice-president will remainas before but the permanent secre-tary's position has been amended to Iinclude the functions of treasurer.

The person filling this office will

be assisted by an assistant secletary-treasurer. These offices were broad-

ened in order to provide for the care

of a class treasury of approximatelyten thousand dollars. The positionsof class marshal have been abolished.This group will be replaced by a six-man executive comnmittee.

Most important of all the changesperhaps is that affecting the tenureof the selected officers. They will bepermanent in name only.

The executive committee ;%vill prob-ably not lead the class in for com-mencement as the marshals had donein the past. There may, however, bea special table set aside for the per-manent officers at the commencementluncheon.

OSIRIS

The questions raised by today's front page article strike atthe very roots of our system of government. We are confrontedon a college level with a threatening problem-one of which isof national scope as well: how much information does the publichave the right to demand of its representatives? Several mem-bers of the present and past undergraduate body have raised thisquestion in regard to the organization named, fearing that per-llaps we at the Institute are missing the benefits of our own gov-ernmental system because of a denial of the rights of studentsto be informed of the actions of their representatives. Answeringthe question these men have raised is not difficult: what is theobjective, why the secrecy, how great the influence of a clandes-tine society which is composed of the leaders of student opinionand the heads of the administration and the faculty-whichmeets regularly during the academic year to discuss Instituteproblems, yet refuses to divulge the names of its student mem-bers, the content of its discussions or its intentions?

Having considered the worth and the desirability of publiclypresenting what information we have at great length, we haveconcluded that it is proper that the students be informed of thesituation that exists.

The men involved in Osiris may claim that their private livesare being invaded, that their constituents have no cause to ques-tion them for whatever groups they partake unofficially. Yet themembership rolls of this organization show an unquestionabletrend toward the enlistment of almost every power in studentgovernment. And he who would represent the public must makehis private life totally apart from his job--or have no privatelife.

We place this stigma upon the members of the organization,present and past: We have not published all the long list of allallegations which have been drawn against this group over thecourse of many years, for we did not feel that all could be ade-quately substantiated. Yet we do feel that its members have beenflagrantly guilty of a blindness, a narrowness of viewpoint, as tothe fundamental concepts upon which any democracy must stand,and which the Institute as a leading force in liberal and progres-sive education should strive for, and be able to realize, more read-

·ily than most social groups.

What these men should never have forgotten is that the ba-sis of a strong and free society is a well-informed public, andthat an intelligent society can use its liberty without resortingto license, can govern itself better than any caucus is able to do.And unlike a caucus, an informed society cannot possibly degen-erate into a ruling clique of small men in high office. For we mustbe always on guard lest good men give way to bad and weak-ness follow strength.

On these grounds of moral incompatibility with beliefs whichwe uphold as the best ideals of the mind of, man, and in the lightof statements of student and administration members of Osiris-statements which should preclude this organization's existence,

we respectfully submit to the members of Osiris that the under-graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are de-serving of, and entitled to, an explanation of the actions of theirrepresentatives and of the faculty and administration in main-taining an organization which can easily discredit the entire con-cept of underograduate self-determination.

Dear Sir:-One of the catchwords we hear

much about at Tech is student au-tonomy. Here the students both indi-vidually and collectively in studentgovernment are given nearly the fullpowers of free men to run their ownlives and affairs. I firmly believethat the degree this concept is ful-filled here has determined thestrength of M.I.T. and converselythat what authoritarianism remainsis a measure of our weakness.

I possess, as I think do most stu-dents here, the democratic scientist'sinnate abhorrance for secrets and se-cret societies. You can appreciatethen my shock and dismay when lastspring I heard rumors about a se-cret society of prominent studentsand administration members. Thename of the organization is Osiris. Ifyou look in the volumes of Teck-nique before 1954 you will see thatthe active senior members have usu-ally included the Institute Commit-tee Chairman, the President of theI.F.C., the President of the Dormi-tory Council and other student lead-ers, as well as such prominent mem-bers of the administration as thePresident, the Dean of students, etc.Last year they did not publish thenames of the senior members.

then, the organization meets over din-ner and discusses problems of gen-eral interest to the student and ad-ministration members, especiallythose before the Institute Committee.The student members of Osiris arepicked because they are the leadelof student opinion. Would they beable or willing to oppose a well or-ganized administration position putforward at one of these meetings-especially in the light of the admin-istlration members' further knowledgeand experience, as well as their con-trol of the students' records and rec-ommendations? Or would the stu-dents be good fellows and forgetabout it? The rest of the studentbody might even remain uninformedof the decision.

I have no proof that the organiza-tion has been used for this purpose,but I .wonder what they have to hidein their secrecy. Does the administra-tion have views on certain studentissues that call only be discussed insecret with a few hand-picked stu-

further ceremonies in the penthouse of100 Memorial Drive, the home of thelate Dr. Karl T. Compton.

The group meets secretly, often onTuesdays before Institute Committeemeetings, and is known to discuss cur-lrent problems of interest to both stu-dents and administration. Past mem-bers apparently have a standing invi-tation to attend current meetings,should they be in the vicinity, andmany do.

Through the years it has been thepractice to publish the names of theretiring student members in Tech-nique, even though all identities areconcealed during the year in whichthese persons are active. For the firsttime, however, in the 1954 Tech-nique, these names were not listed.There is a strong indication that thiswvas done to secure further the exis-tence and purpose of this organizationwhich now appears to the casualreader of the yearbook to have onlymembers of the faculty and adminis-tration on its roster.

Osiris has, in addition to its dozenor so select seniors, many importantfaculty and administration membersincluding the Vice President of theInstitute, the Dean of Students, theBursar, the Registrar, members of theCorporation, and members of theteaching staff. The President of theInstitute is known to attend meetingsalthough he had not been listed as amember up to 1954. Members aresworn to secrecy and will deny theirassociation with the group. Almost allof them will disclose no informationconcerning the organization and somewill go so far as to feign completeignorance of its existence. However,among the members from the Class of1954 not heretofore publicly disclosed,w'ho attended Osiris meetings wereDean L. Jacoby, Albert A. Ward, DavidR. Wones, Jack W. Smith, Samuel J.Losh, David L. Vogel, Wilbur Fiske,Edwin G. Eigel and F. LawrenceHolmes. Members of the presentgroup from the Class of 1955 whoseidentities are still secret includeamong others, Eldon H. Reiley, JohnJ. Seiler, W. Chandler Stevens, GlennD. Jackson, Lennard Wharton, DavidNasatir, Thomas A. Marlow, andDavid B. Brooks.

In 1940 the question of class honor-ary societies was a major issue beforethe student body. Then, as now, therewere many students who seriouslydoubted the purpose and value of suchorganizations which were, in theireyes, merely self-perpetuating fra-ternal groups constituted in the nameof "honor." The student body hadnothing to say as to which of its melm-bers had distinguished themselves inthe eyes of their classmates and weretruly worthy of membership. Togetherwith "Q" Club and Beaver Key, Osiriswas under particular fire, being agroup of student-elected officials meet-ing in secret over the conference tablewith members of the administration.In the spring of that year, a generalvote of the student body was taken onthe question of Class honorary socie-ties in which those 'voting expressedan overwhelming opinion against thesegroups. The vote, however, was voidedby the Institute Committee on thegrounds that an insufficient number ofballots had been east. Thus these or-ganizations, Osiris aniong them, existtoday.

1Ike Geiger: Seven Years Of ProgressDuring His Tenure As Athletic DirectorHis Goal Was To Give Each Student The Opportunity To ParicipateFreely In Athletic Activities Which Contribute To His Education

Ivan J. Geigcr, late Director (of Athletics at the Institute, who died of ahcart attack Jan. 18, 1955. MIT's first Athletic Director, he was largely re-svoonsible for the cxpan.ioi. of the intercollegiate and intramural programsin, the last. few years. During hi.s tenure in office the Rockwell Cage, theSkating Rink, the Tennis Courts, and other facilities were added to Instituteproperty. He was a leading figure in New 'Englanl and National Athletics.

'p: New Slating Rintk; Middle: Athletic Board showing structure ofthe 'letic Association; Bottom: New Basketball Floor in Rockwell Cage.ITh: atrng Rink and Cage Floor are two of the rmst recent additions to?snI .'e Athletic facilities.

"Our MIT sports program is nearly unique inthis country, in its amateur spirit, its wide stu-dent participation in expansive intercollegiate,intramural, and recreational program, and inthe extent of student administrative opportuni-ties offered by a strong undergraduate athleticassociation."

JAMES R. KILLIAN, JR.Ike Geiger, in his seven years at the Institute,

did more for this program than any other per-son. His philosophy of athletics brought theprinciple of amateurism to its logical extreme,and his work in the development of an intra-mural program second to none and in the ex-pansion of athletic facilities made the dream ofsports for everyone a reality.

Ike felt that it was feasible as well as desir-able to conduct an athletic program aimed atthe majority rather than the minority, in whichthe philosophy, aims and objectives are not onlycompatible but also in complete accord with andsupplementary to academic philosophy, aimsand objectives. He was an enthusiastic sup-porter of student management as valuable tothe participant through the development ofleadership and a sense of responsibility. He wasalways on guard against overemphasis, realiz-ing that it breeds professionalism and in thelong run warps the goals of an educational in-stitution, substituting athletic prestige for in-tellectual achievement.

PhilosophyThis is not to say that he considered inter-

collegiate competition unimportant and victoryundesirable. He felt that ".... athletic compe-tition, competition to win, benefits the studenteducationally as well as physically. Consequent-ly, intercollegiate athletic competition is -re-garded as a privilege to be extended to all stu-dents, certainly not to be restricted to a fewhirelings as is the case in some institutions."Ike thought that the charging of admission wascommercialization and that it was accompaniedby evils not compatible with his goal of educa-tional athletics. He called it a "vicious inconsis-tency" and attacked the attempts of adminis-trators who tried to rationalize this "commer-cialization" by claiming its value in public re-lations and athletic prestige.

Amateurism was his theme. He did not be-lieve the athletic program should support itself,that athletic scholarships should be awarded orthat students be obligated or induced to partici-pate in athletics by granting of special favorsof any kind. Instead, he agreed with the tradi-tional Institute policy of awarding financial aidto all worthy students.

In a memorandum to Dr. D. L. Farnsworth,then acting Dean of Students, he set forth hisideas on the objectives of collegiate athletics."Participation in athletics," he wrote, "mustoffer opportunity to the individual to meet situ-ations with growth in personal and social at-tainment for all members of the group." Thesatisfaction experienced in any form of sportscompetition and the attainment of carry-overskills which will bring enjoyment to the studentin later life, often forgotten in this day of thespectator and vicarious as opposed to activeparticipation, were among his goals. For today'syouth, who, in this time of progress and highstandards of living, have been called the mostunfit physically America has ever produced, herecommended athletics.

These were the ideas of this man, who in hisrelatively short tenure as an athletic director,climbed to the heights of his profession. To puthis ideas in practice at MIT, a new programwas needed.

GrowthWhen Ike came to the Institute in September

of 1948, he found MIT in a period of growth.The West Campus Development plan was in itsembryo stage. In the next year Baker House wasbuilt and Burton House acquired. Athletic ac-

tivity was centered about Barbour Field House,the Alumni Pool and Walker Memorial Gym-nasium. Technology Field still occupied what isnow the East Parking lot. The intramural pro-gram was small. Beaver Key Society sponsoredsome seventy-five intramural contests in threesports.

If sports for all was to be the goal, then intra-mural sports were the key to its attainment.Ike put them into the hands of the Athletic As-sociation and engineered the enlargement of theprogram from three sports to its present totalof thirteen. Participation has trebled while thenumber of contests held has risen from seventy-five to over nine hundred.

The addition of volleyball, bowling, table ten-nis, swimming, tennis, squash, track, sailing,badminton and hockey to the previous big threeof touch football, basketball and softball has in-creased the scope and the appeal of the pro-gram. This entire program is student run andstudent planned. The Intramural Vice-Presi-dent, who heads the A. A. machinery initiatedby Professor Geiger, is responsible for all intra-mural sports, carrying out the policies laiddown by the Executive Committee and himself,initiating policies beneficial to intramural ath-letics, and the intramural council is the govern-ing body of the sports.

FacilitiesThe plan for increased participation and the

growth of the athletic program necessitated asimilar increase in facilities. The plans for WestCampus development and the new West Campusdormitories indicated a similar move by theathletic department.

The acquisition of Rockwell Cage from thegovernment was one of Ike's major accomplish-ments. He negotiated with the Army (it wasformerly located at an Army training camp inthe South), purchased it at an almost unbe-lievably low price, had it disassembled andtransported to Cambridge by barge and erectedat its present West Campus site. The basketballcourt at Walker Memorial was woefully inade-quate and Ike, after several years of vain at-tempts, obtained the necessary funds, andsecured the new basketball floor. The hockeyrink, obtained through alumni donations washis last physical acquisition. For the rink, heinstituted a schedule which is by far the mostliberal to be found at any college, devoting theoverwhelming majority of time to general skat-ing.

We all too often feel that there is an inevit-able dichotomy between athletics and academics.Ike Geiger was a rare example, an educator inthe field of athletics who sought to synthesizeacademics and athletics into the long soughtideal, the education of the whole man.

The Intramural Council of the Athletic Association,.Both an extensive intramural program And studentmanagement of the A.A. were among Professor Geiger'scontributio,u to Institute athletics. The IntramuirolCouctil controls thirteen different sports in whichl j.o)teams consisting of close to 2500 men compete.

Out on the floor for the first timesince mid-term vacations, the fresh-man basketball team looked a littlerusty in losirig to a good Andovercontingent, 64 to 54. The game, play-ed in Rockwell Cage yesterday after-noon, was marked by extremely poorshooting from the floor by bothteams and by the phenomenal foulshooting record of the visitors, whosank 20 of 24.

Andover took an 18 to 9 lead earlyin the game, and the Beavers werenever able to overtake them. The en-gineer starting lineup of Al Hur-kamp at center, Ahren Sadoff andDave Larson at the forwards, andPaul Larson and Myron Shulman atguards, along with substitute guardsPaul Repetto, Hank Moesta, andJohn Boynton were able to choponly one point off the visitors' leadin the second quarter, and the halfended, Andover 36, M.I.T. 28. Thesecond half followed the same pat-tern, .with Andover finally winningby ten points. Paul Larson led theBeavers with 14 points as Tech se-riously missed the services of MacJordan and Dave Rachofsky, whowere unable to be excused from lab,and John Irwin, who was out withan infected knee.

It should be emphasized that -II ofthese ideas are merely suggesti0,~for further consideration. A cor. mit.tee of three representatives of th( Ad.ministration and five students hasbeen set up to continue the inve.r tiga.tion and attempt to draw up 10rconcrete plans.

After a close first half the M.I.T.basketball team had a hot second halfand edged out Lowell Tech Tuesdaynight by six points. The game, playedat Rockwell Cage, was originally be-lieved to have been canceled, but thesudden notice proved to be no disad-vantage to the engineers who wontheir third straight and raised theirseason's record to an even 7-?.

Lowell opened the scoring but Jack

Britt, '55, broke the ice to tie thegame at 2-2. With Gift Weber, '55,leading the way, the engineers Jump-ed into a 10-2 lead, then Lowell ral-lied to tie it up 12-12. From there itwas a see-saw battle throughout theremainder of the first half with MIThaving a slight edge most of theway. The engineers left the courtwith a slim 36-34 lead although theywere outplayed on the floor by theinspired Lowell squad. Lowell hadmore shots but was unable to hit asthey made only 30%o of their shotswhile MIT hit 39%. Center Dee Ver-gun, '56, and forwards Larry Hal-lee, '56 and Weber led the way asthey cleared both boards well andcarried the scoring load.

Lowell opened the second half.witha fast goal to tie the score again at36-36 and added a free throw tosurge to a 37-36 lead. After an ex-change of goals Weber hit two fastjump shots and a foul shot to giveMIT a 44-41 lead and Vergun hittwo charities but Lowell fought backagain to tie it up with two goalsand a free throw. This was the sev-enth time the score had been tied,but it marked the beginning of theend for Lowell as the engineers sud-denly hit a hot streak. Phil Platz-man, '56, hit a free throw and Weberhit two more jump shots beforeLowell got two. Weber came throughwith another falling jump and Ber-nie Benson, '56, and Weber hit fromthe feld with Platzman adding an-

other as MIT suddenly had a 58-48 lead. Lowell got two but the engi-neers were still driving as Vergunhit again from the field and Halleehit three from the line. Benson add-ed two more as MIT finished out itsscoring and held a commanding 65-52 lead. Lowell rallied but the timehad run out and the engineers coast-ed to victory.

The amazing Cardinal and Grayvarsity fencing team continued itswinning ways last night as themaskedmen edged out perenniallypowerful Harvard, 14 to 13, inWalker Memorial. This victory tag-ged the Tech duelers as the rankingteam in the East, since they hadpreviously defeated the only otherexceptionally powerful contingent inthe East, Boston University, by anidentical 14 to 13 score. This markstheir eighth straight win out of theirfirst nine starts, having lost only toCornell in the season's opener.

M.I.T., starting very poorly, wononly three of their initial nine foilxnatches, with co-captain, Frank Dav-enport, '55, taking two of the threepoints. The next-event, however, thesaber match, was handily won byM.I.T. by a score of 8 to 1. With al-most certain defeat facing them, theCrimson team fought back to a 12all tie, only to fall one point behindin the next match,. With ,io back tothe wall, M.I.T.'s Bristol camethrough in a record 20-minute con-test to beat Harvard.

The Harvard victory followed winsover Bradford Durpee last Saturdayaid Trinity Tuesday night by scoresof 19 to 8 and 17 to 10, respectively.

The Engineer hockey team, after a rocky start on its sixteen game schedule, beat a scrappy University of New

Hampshire sextet 3-2 for its second consecutive victory. P laying on their own rink, the red-hot Beavers were a vastly

improved team from the squad that lost six games during December and January. As the score indicates, the con-

test was close until the final buzzer. The Beavers scored first at 19:22 of the first period only to lose the lead in the

second period on two New Hampshire scores. The Engineers tied the score at 2-2 at 18:26 of the second period and

the winning marker came midway in the third period.Both teams passed well in the first period but neither could score because of good defensive play and goal tending.

both teams to score early in the lastperiod, Stu Patterson dug the puckout of the corner, fed John Sullivan'56 in front of the cage, and Sullie,after faking the goalie out of posi-tion, scored. The goal came at 12:14and gave the Beavers a slim 3-2 leadwhich they never relinquished. SandyAitken '56 thwarted the Wildcats dur-ing the rest of the period as he leapedon several loose pucks in front of thenets. The WiIdcats in desperationpulled out their goalie and operatedwith four linemen until they sustaineda penalty at 19:14.

Defense OutstandingBeaver defensemen Nick DiBona '55

and Captain Harold Wells '55 did afine job in stopping the visitors' of-fense. John Sullivan again proved toomuch for enemy defensemen. He car-ried the puck rimbly through the de-fense several times in addition to scor-ing the decisive marker of the game.

The Beavers travel to westernMassachusetts tomorrow to meet Am-herst at 2:00 p.m. On Sunday after-noon the Engineers meet the Alumnion the Tech rink in their annual en-counter.

Tech dominated the puck and openedthe scoring at 19:22 on a shot by WaltBachman '56 assisted by Gus Schwartz'56 and Fred Culick '56. The Wildcats'Rube Hall tied the score at 8:12 of thesecond period assisted by John Stiles.Stiles clipped the corner of the netsat 17:22 to give the visitors a short-lived 2-1 lead. At 18:26 Stu Patterson'57 took a pass from Bev Goodison '57and rocketed an angle shot by theUNH goalie. With less than two min-utes remaining in the period a meleeoccurred and a major penalty wasgiven to each team.

Training has many facets in a big firm like Du Pont, Dress,and a great deal of thought has been given to make it trulyeffective. We look upon training as a very important factorin a man's career. We think that the best way to train a col-lege graduate is to give him a' maximum of on-the-job re-sponsibility in a minimum length of time. That's the generalguiding policy at Du Pont, Dress.

Of course, each department varies this general policy tosuit its special needs. A new man being trained for produc-tion supervision may first spend a year or so in laboratoryor plant development work. Or he may spend his trainingperiod as a plant operator. Thus a man obtains firsthandknowledge of his process, and establishies a bond of mutualrespect with the men he'll be working with on his first majorassignment.

A young man interested in sales is often first assigned to aplant or laboratory dealing with the products he will latersell; or he may join a group of trainees to learn selling tech-niques right from the start.

An engineer, chemist, or other technical graduate is usual-ly chosen for a specific job within his major field of study.Such a man brings specialized knowledge and skill to hisjob, and he is encouraged to put them to use promptly. Butat Du Pont his experiences on the job are supplementedwith lectures, conferences and discussion groups. In a veryreal sense, new technical employees continue training intheir specialties after joining the Company.

To sum it all up, Dress, Du Pont's training program isindividualized to provide a new man with specific oppor-tunities to learn from contacts with more experienced men.The prime objective of Du -Pont training is always keptclearly in mind-to develop men for future advancementand effectiveness in the organization.

DONALD C. MILLER received his B.S. in Chemi-cal Engineering from Ohio State University in June1937. During the following month he started workwith the Organic Chemicals Department of Du Pontat Deepwater Point, N. J. Since then he has receivedand given many kinds of technical trainipg. TodayDon Miller is a general superintendent at Du Pont'sChambers Works-well qualified to answer questionsabout training programs for college men.
