Registration lines were lon-erthan ever yesterday. Undergraduatean (I graduate student enrollmentreached an all-time Institute high of6150. The longest line was, as -usual,the 900-man freshr-man throng.

As usual, the Class of '61 is ex-pected to contain a great amount ofathletic talent. If it follows formerpatterns, about a quarter of the en-tering freshmen were varsity teamnplayers in high school. Over sixtywvere team captains.

None of the athletes entered MITon athletic scholarships, however, Iforthe Institute awards, none. Aboutone-third of the new.' f reshmen, never-theless, a re receiving scholarshipgrants on the basis of academicpromise and financial need.

It is expected that in addition tobeing talented, more than one hun-dred of the new men were class offi-cers in high school and more thanfoure hundred -were club officers. Theywere also a hard-working lot, be-ca-use about two out of tUhree heldafter-school jobs.

Freshman distribution is widely va-ried. As imight, be expected, Massa-chusetts and -New York men predomn-inate. They make up more than one-third of the class. The other two-thirds come fromt all the forty-eightstates, the territories, and over twen-ty-five foreign countries.

The initial questionnaire is to befLollowed by individual conferenceswith a selected sampling of the Classof 1961 in hopes that any existingshift in attitude among freshtcacmay be pinned dlown.

In his "Prospectus of a Study of theMotivations and Goals of MIT Stu-dents", A-rnie Ainstutz '58, President.of the Undergraduate Association,explained that this attempt to probefreshmen's motivational shift upongrowing use~d to Institute life wais"the culmination of literally years;of discussion hnvolving' members ollfaculty, administration and studc:-;tbody."

Why do the administration and stu-dent government wish to analyze saclosely the newcomers' reactions tathe MIT environment? With thou-sands of dollars and man-hours cur-rently' being spent on orientation,Amstutz feels "1we have no real in-dex of the accuracy of our conce-p-tion of the attitudes and motivationsof MIT students."

The questionnaire itself is dividedinto two main sections, one deali-ngwith the freshman's experiences hisecondary school, his deciding tocome to MIT, and his expectation°concerning this choice. The other sec-tLion seeks information about careerplans. Personal and family statisticsare the subject of an additionalgroup of questions.

the athletic, musical, and literary facilities, saw no labora-tories, met no professors. In fact, as they shuttled acrossthe Harvard Bridge, they barely met each other.

Merely putting Orientation WWeekend before Rush Weekis the obvious first step towards correcting this almost-funnysituation; both Inscomei and the 1FC halve tentatively set1958 as time for this change. The fact that more than sixhundred freshmen attended Rush Week this year, an in-crease of a hundred over 1956, should givre these bodiesstill greater incentive to work toward that date.

Outstanding among the movies appearing in Boston thissummer, A Hatful of Rain presents the problem of drugaddiction in a dramatic and realistic manner.

Johnnie, newly married, picked up the habit while in ahospital recovering from war injuries, Sincc then he hasbeen borrowing money from his brother Polo in order tobuy narcotics. Johnnie is now deeply in debt to a group of"pushers" headed by a rather seedy character called"Mother" (fohnnie's real mother died when he was quiteyoung). Johnnie has not told his wife about' his addictionand is in danger of losing her because she mistakes hisindifference to her (caused by dope) for love for anotherwoman. Things are brought to a head by a visit from thebrothers' father who has been promised some money byPolo', and is quite angry when he learns that Polo is broke,having given Johnnie all his savings.

As the story unfolds and wre learn of the unpleasant lifewhich Johnnie and Polo led when younger, we see whata failure the boys' father has been. In the present situation"Pop" makes things difficult for everyone by practicallydisowning Polo, again not seeing things as they really arc.Pop's trouble then, is lack of a sense of reality. He is up inthe clouds, living ill the dream of how he would like thingsto be and never seeing things as they really are. The relation-ship between this problem and that of a dope addict isobvious if we remember that dope has the efect of takingone away from reality. Johnnie too is up in the clouds, incontrast to his wife who is a more down to earth charactersince she realizes the problem and is trying to get at theroot of it.

The director has developed this theme of reality visuallyby many camera shots of high things (analagous to lack ofreality or "up in the clouds") contrasted to shots of lovrthings (analagous to a realistic outlook or "dowvn toearth"). The movie opens with a shot of an apartrentbuilding, the camera starting from the foot of the buildingand then moving up to the top.

When Johnnie is thinking of suicide he goes to a bridgeand we see the bridge contrasted with the water below.

The theme of reality is further developed by the title andthe story behind it. Pop tells us of Johnnie as a boy, havingheard that by working he can get a pocket full of money,he goes out digging in the ground and then looks in hispockets for money. It tained howvever, so instead of apocketful of money Johnnie winds up with "a hatful ofrain." Johnnie's lack of a realistic outlook is thus symbolizedby the rain, something which starts up in the clouds andcomes down to earth, and by the contrast between the pocket(low on the body) and the hat (worn high on the body).

The movie ends with a frm plea for a realistic outlookwhen Johnnie's wife finds out about Johnnie's drug addic-tion and immediately arranges to have him sent to a hos-pital where the habit can be broken rather than listeningto Johnnie and Polo who insist that Johnnie can do it byhimself.

It would seem likely that a flm ending with a plea forreality would itself be realistic. A Hatful of Rain retainsthe simplicity necessary for realism without ever becomingdull or tedius. The almost unbearable tension is broken upwith humorous scenes which never seem out of place. True,Mother and his gang of hoodlums are far from realistic,but this fault can be overlooked since they are extremelyhorrifying and consequently help build the tension. Thisfilm is an excellent example of just how artistic the filmmedium can be.

First of ail, to call football an American game is some.what misleading. True, the game is now played almostexclusively in America, but it comes to us from a landfar away and a civilization long dead.

Football was first played in ancient PRomne. introducedby Julius Caesar, it became one of the most. popularRornan sports by the time of Nero's reign. The eminenthistorian, Sigafoos, reports a crowd of MMCI1,DSDXIqpeople at the Colosseum one Saturday afternoon to seethe Christians play the Lions.

With the decline of the Roman empire, footballitellinto disuse. The barbaric Huns and Visigoths prefelredcanasta. Not until the fifteenth century A. D. did foot-ball emerge from its twilight and rise to its rigtliaful placein the firmament of European sports.

Which brings us to Sept-ember 29, 1442, a date deal tothe hearts of all football fans. It was on this date, accord-ing to the eminent historian Sigafoos, that a sixteen-year-old lad named Christopher Columbus tried out for thefootball team at Genoa Tech. He failed to make the teambecause he was too light (He weighed at the time oilvtwelve pounds.)

And why, you ask, is this date-September 29, 1442-so dear to the hearts of all football fans? Because youngColumbus was so heartbroken at not making the teamthat he ran away to sea. Anl if that hadn't happened,he never would have discovered America. And if Columbushadn't discovered Ametica, the world would never hasediscovered tobacco. And if the world hadn't discoveredtobacco, foothall falns never would have discoveredMarlboro-which, as every fan knows, is the perfect com-panion to football. And why shouldn't it be? Look whatMarlboro's got . . . Filter. ..Flavor ... Flip-top Box;...You can't buy a better smoke. You can't sroke a hettcerbuy.

The end of football in Europe came with the nolorious'"Black Sox Scandal" of 1587, in which Ed Machiaielli,one of the Pisa mob, paid off the Univel sity of HeidelbergSabres to throw the championship game to the (shortresA. and M. Gophers. It was a mortal blow to football onthe continent.

But the game took hold in the American colonies andthrived as it had never thrived before. Which hyings usto another date that remains evergreen il the }earlts offootball lovers: December 16, 1773.

On that date a British packet loaded wi'th tea sailedinto Boston harbor. The colonies had long been smartingfinder the English king's tax on tea. "Taxation withoutrepresentation," they called it, and feelings ran high.

When on December 16, 1773, the British ship dockedat Boston, a semi-pro football team called the NonpareilTigers, coached by Samuel (Swifty) Adams, was scrim-maging near the harbor. "Come, lads," cried Swifty, see-ing the ship. "Let's dump the tea it the oceani"

With many a laugh and cheer the Nonpariel Tigei,followed Swifty aboard and proceeded to dump tilecargo overboard ifi a wild, disorganized at-id aallnnedmanner. "Here now!" called Swifty sharply. "That's noway to dump tea overboard. Let's get into somlle kindof formation."

And that, fans, is how tile tea formation was born.e Max Sklltlrnn. 19JSi

FOOTBALL THROUGH THE AGOE-The football frenzy is upon its. But let us in the midkt

of this pandemonium call time. Let us pause fol a momentof tranquil reflection. What is this gireat American gare -called football? What is its history? rts origins?

Rush Week and Orientation Weekend are safely behindthe Class of '61. Rush Week, at least, has been a statisticalsuccess. Enough freshmen haie pledged fraternities so thatthe combined Instituce (and Boston area) housing facilitiescan accommodate the student body. There is a bed for eachstudent.

This is a crude way of determining the success of RushWLeek, a way which does not even begin to do full justiceto the aims and scope of the program. But it sully anduniquely justifies the TIMING of the program. The num-ber of schools whose fraternities rush undergraduates thisearly in their college lives is tiny. The disadvantages inforcing a boy to make so big a decision before be has evenbecome accustomed to his new school are so obvious thatno school which had a choice of times would choose pre-freshman year rushing.

But here at the Institute theme is no choice. There is notenough room for the entire freshman class within the dormi-tory system. Fraternities have the responsibility of housingone-third of each incoming class. To meet this responsibility,they must rush in September.

The situation here calls for a measure of sacrifice on thepart of the undergraduate body, a, sacrifice which we will.ingly or tacitly make in exc hange for added laboratory.classroom, and other educational facilities. W~e, by our verycoming here, choose these in lieu of a more ample dormitorysystem. Indeed, there is no reasonable plan foreseeable'which will end pre-freshmanl year rushing.

Thlis is njot to say that a status quo rushing and orienta-tion program is inevitable. Two undergraduate committees

-ne set up by the Int~erfraternity Council, the other baythe Institute Committee-have, in the past year, advocatedthat Rush Week follow, rather than precede OrientationWeekend. They believe that there is a so-called "Jack ofenthusiasm" among freshmnen, traceable at least in part tothe way in which they are introduced to MIT.

Freshmen who attend Rush Week shuttle from dormi-tory cot to fraternity smoker; after almost a week here mostof them knlow the story of the Techmen who welded atrolley to the tracks, but virtually all report complete lackof personal contact and familiarity with the MIT campus.They merely glanced at the build~ings, were nowhere near
