With the advantage of a high speed computer,it was possible to dispense with many of theseapproximations. The former value of player ex-pectation (winnings) wvas- .62%, least un-favorable among current gambling games. Thenew result is - .21% for a one player game.In addition, the computer allowed considerationof unused sets of arbitlralry composition of cards,thus making possible calculations on the basisof seen calrds. The consequent dependent tlrialviewpoint "makes the detelrmination of a win-ning strategy possible."

Strategy and SubsetsCertain subsets were investigated using the

computer as to changes in expectation. Whenall cards of a given value are gone, expectationof the player can be radically altered. Onepleasantly unexpected result was the informa-tion that when all the fives are gone, expectationrises to an extremely favorable 3.29%. Thethree pairs on either side of five (4-6, 3-7, 2-8)show relatively symmetric decrease in expecta-tion, though' all alre favorable. Thus a playerusing this information would bet minimal

Foundation Awards MIT$475,000 For CenterThe Carnegie Corporation of New York announced Monday

the award of a $475,000 grant to MIT for studies in connectionwith the Center for International Studies. The grant is to beused for research into the politics of transitional societies. Thework deals with the problems encountered in "nation-building,"particularly in the emerging nations in Africa and Asia.

Eight fellowships annually willinclude both professional andstudent research at the Centerfor International Studies. Themembers participating in thisprogram will include sociolo-gists, historians, economists, po-litical scientists, and anthropolo-gists.

The existing programs in theCenter will set the pattern forthe expansion of the program.Work has been carried out onthe economic development ofIndia, evolution of Indonesiansociety in the postwar period,the structume of Burmese poli-tics, and the economic and po-litical development of the newAfrican countries.

Part of the work is guidedtoward an implrovement ofUnited States policies towalrdthese emergent nations. TheCenter is now doing work un-der the sponsorship of the Sen-ate Foreign Relations Commit-tee on the effects of Americanforeign policy.

Mh IT Offers CourseOn Arms Problems

Thanks to the efforts of DickStein '62 and Don Shakowr '62,MIT now has a course on armscontrol, more formally known as"Problems of Armaments andArms Control in the Context ofthe Present World Struggle."Last term, the movement to cre-ate such a course was begun bythese two juniors, and as aresult of their work, the De-partment of Economics and So-cial Science decided to offer aneight hour course on this sub-ject. It will be taught by Pro-fessor L. P. Bloomfield who isassociated with MIT's Centerfor International Studies and aformer member of the State De-partment as well.

Enrollment of the courses wasmade available to anyone inter-ested, as no prerequisites wererequired "other than a generalknowledge of current events."Due to this, as well as to thefact that students from Har-vard were permitted to enroll,the group taking this course willcome from varied backgrounds.

The course will be centeredabout weekly seminars, withlectures by noted speakers ar-ranged whenever possible. Thetwo-hour weekly sessions willcommence with a lecture byProfessor Bloomfield, proceed-ing then to discussions withgroups of six or seven, eachgroup hopefully chaired by afaculty member.

By Jeff Levinger '63

Edward O. Thorp, an instructor in MIT'sMathematics Department, has recently publishedpreliminary results of a study on "A FavorableStrategy for Blackjack." Intrigued by the pos-sible applications of plrobability and game theoryto the standard gambling games, Thorp has vis-ited every major casino and numerous minorestablishments in Nevada, over 80 in all. Thoseof lesser significance, orl ones he has been un-able to reach, have been resealrched with theaid of questionnaires. His extensive study ofvariations in rules and betting procedures inprofessional gambling haunts lends his addedair of authority to his report, impressive on itsown merits. Analysis of present variationsshows a corresponding change in expectationof, at most, .005 from the theoretical figures.

Complex Model with ComputerThorp refers to an earlier study of blackjack

which considered the game from the standpointof independent trials, i.e., the player does notkeep track of cards already used. Simplifyingassumptions were necessary to keep the compu-tations within the bounds of a desk calculator.

Thelalrger the ratio of allowablemaximum-to-minimum bet, thecloser the results will fit thetheolretical projection. Thoughrelatively infrequent, these sub-sets do provide winning strate-gies.

Plroglramming thecomputer to simulate actualblackjack play would enablemore comprehensive strategies,applicable to the glreatelr num-ber of situations, to be evolvedand investigated. Offers of as-sistance from experienced pro-grammers would be welcome.

Profit-Piercing ProbabilitiesWidespread publicity followed

the publication of the report,though blackjack-veteran re-porters remain rathelr skeptical,even scorlnful. Offelrs of moneyand requests for the systemhave flooded Thorp's mail. Of-fers of free room and boardhave come from Las Vegas casi-nos, where professionals areeager folr anyone with the $3200that the system suggests offers$10 houlrly profit. With plropelrassurances, Instructor Thorpmay take a trip, and make atest which could force altera-tion of the time-honored rulesof blackjack with modern math-ematics.

As yet, no one has definitelyannounced his candidacy, butThe Tech expects to receivestatements from prospectivecandidates by next week.Among those names now beingmentioned in student govern-ment circles as likely to runarle: Frank Osha of BurtonHouse; Julri Toomnli of EastCampus; Robert Huff, EastCampus; Mike Jablow, PiLambda Phi; Ed Linde, SigmaAlplha Mu; and Joe Vittek, Sig-ma Phi Epsilon.

Erich Leinsdorf Brilliantly Conducts SymphonyThough Erich Leinsdorf has been heard in Boston before, as conductor of the Metropoli-

tan Opera, his recent appearance is his first with the Boston Symphony. He chose an openingprogram well suited to justify his solid reputation as an eminent Mozartean, wide-ranging operaconductor, and impressive symphonic interpreter. Leinsdorf's own arrangement of interludesfrom Richard Strauss' opera,"Die Frau ohne Schatten", gavethe audience an impressiveglimpse of this vast but seldomheard masterpiece. RetainingStrauss' own stupendously ex-travagant scoring, Leinsdorf'ssynthesis alternated moments ofshattering power with episodesof subdued and rarefied beauty,ending with quiet, mystical har-monies.

Interestingly enough, Dr.Leinsdorf conducted without abe.fon and substituted a suit for 0 t y0the customary coat and tails.Using simple but clear and ex-pressive gestures, he elicited a a s a n fine performance of Mozart's aSymnphony No. 29 in A major.The symphony, scored only for r a strings, oboes, and horns, fullydisplays the maturity, freshness,and wit of its eighteen-year old

does the faculty. They should at least becomecognizant of the fact that they do not exist in avacuum.

On this page in the future will be foundopinions upon various aspects of campus life. Itis not expected that everyone will agree withwhat is said here; in fact, it is hoped that not allwill agree. We wish to stir up thought, not tobe controversial for the sake of controversy, butto suggest alternatives, to be skeptical, and toguide. This page is available for Letters to theEditor. Faculty, students, and staff are urged towrite to The Tech expressing their feelings abouteditorials in this newspaper, about MIT, or aboutthe world at large. Note however, anonymousletters will not be printed; names will be with-held upon request. We will try to be fair tothose on all sides of issues. We hope the yearwill be interesting.

And finally, our thanks to the board ofVolume LXXX for the splendid job they did,and for their efforts to make the work of thenew board as easy as possible. We aspire to doas well.

Unpopular PolitisIn a letter appearing below, an MIT stu-

dent expresses his distress that the Fair Play forCuba organization was given permission by theActivities Council to make use of the MIT bul-letin boards. The writer goes on to criticize TheTech for not voting against such permission. Heholds that because most of the MIT student bodydoes not "agree" with this organization, itshould be denied the status of a Class B activity.

The right to use the MIT name and pub-licity facilities is a privilege, but is it a privilegeto be granted according to the popularity of theideas of the organization ? Obviously, if everyoneagreed with the Fair Play for Cuba group, itwould have no reason for existing. Its ideas areunpopular; The Tech assuredly does not like Dr.Castro and does not "agree" with him. Butthere is certainly no reason to suppress a grouptrying to get a hearing for Castro's side of thequestion. Or is the writer concerned that theposition of the United States with respect toCuba is so weak that dissent must be stifled?We do not think this to be a problem.

The abstension of The Tech on this issue wasa reflection of its disapproval of Dr. Castro, andof its doubts as to whether the group wouldactually exist more than a few months. Whetherthere should be a class of activity-permitted touse the bulletin boards but not the MIT name isa question that must be settled soon. We 'arelikely to see more ad hoc political groups in thefuture, and a policy toward them should be set.If this is not done, every group will become apolitical football for Activities Council.

The test for approval of a group should notbe the popularity of its ideas, but only that itbe made up of MIT students with a responsibleaim. Otherwise all religious groups, all politicalgroups and all publications that represent mi-nority opinion would have to be barred fromusing the MIT name, since in a sense, the bulkof the student body does not "agree" with them.

Volume LXXXI BornThis issue of The Tech marks the start of

the eighty-first volume and year of publication,under a new editorial board. As MIT enters itssecond century, and The Tech its ninth decade,it is fitting that this publication should broadenits horizons much as MIT is broadening its ap-proaches to the modern world.

With this in mind then, this newspaper ap-proaches the coming year with the view that itis responsible, as the sole news outlet on cam-pus, to provide a broadened coverage of campusevents, and of events off campus that bear uponthe MIT community. The board of this news-paper feels furthermore, that the expression ofopinion upon circumstances affecting student lifehere are of great importance. There is a majorlack of communication here at MIT; outside ofthe classroom there is very little exchange ofideas, of intellectual innovation. According tothe Sussman report, the MIT student body ishighly conservative, probably more conservativethan their parents. MIT tries to be an institu-tion of the future; it should be a source of ideas,not a sink, where the old and tired is clung to,merely because it is familiar.

Many of MIT's faculty have answered thecall of the new administration in Washingtonto help bring about the "New Frontier". Re-gardless of one's politics, and regardless ofone's feelings about Mr. Kennedy's approach tothe problems of the world, it is clear that newideas are in vogue, that the world is undergoingextreme and far-reaching changes.

could each student be assured of the personalized attention, thecamaraderie, the feeling of belonging, that is all too often lackingin higher education.

Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturday afew years ago. On this day Crimscott had a football gamescheduled against Minnesota, its traditional rival. Football was,Of course, something of a problem at Crimscott, what with onlyfour students enrolled in the entire college. It was easy enoughto muster a backfield, but finding a good line-or even a badline-baffled the most resourceful coaching minds in the country

Well sir, on the morning of the big game against Minnesota,its traditional rival, a capricious destiny dealt Crimscott a cruelblow-in fact, four cruel blows. Sigafoos, the quarterback,woke up that morning with the breakbone fever. Wrichards, theslotback, was unable to start his motorcycle. Beerbohm-Tree,the wingback-tailback, got his necktie caught in his espressomachine. Langerhans, the fullback, was stolen by gypsies.

Consequently, alas, none of the Crimscott team showed up atthe game, and Minnesota, its traditional rival, was able to scorealmost at will. Crimscott was so out of sorts that they immedi-ately broke off football relations with Minnesota, its traditionalrival. This later became known as the Dred Scott Decision.

So you can see how only four students might be too small ahenrollment. The number I personally favor is twenty. Howcome? Because when you have twenty students and one ofthem opens a pack of Marlboro Cigarettes, there are enough togo around for everybody, and no one has to be deprived ofMarlboro's fine, mild flavor, of Marlboro's easy-drawing filter,of Marlboro's joy and zest and steadfast companionship, andas a result you have a student body that is filled with sweetcontent and amity and harmony and concord and togethernessand soft pack and flip-top box.

That's how come. 1961 Max Shulman$ * *

HOW SMALL CAN YOU GET?Today let us address ourselves to a question that has long rockedand roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at asmall college than at a large college?

To answer this question it is necessary first to define terms.What, exactly, do we mean by a small college? Well sir, some saythat in order to be called truly small, a college should have anenrollment of not mote than four students.

I certainly have no quarrel with this statement; a four-student college must unquestionably be called small. Indeed,one could even call it intime if one knew what intime meant.But I submit there is such a thing as being too small. Take, forinstance, a recent unfortunate occurrence at Crimscott A and M.

Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestledbetween Denver and Baltimore, was founded by A. and M.Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1706 to escape thepotato famine of 1841. As a result of their foresight, the Crim-scott brothers never went without potatoes for one single day oftheir lives-and mighty grateful they were! One night, full ofgratitude after a hearty meal of French fries, cottage fries, hashbrowns, and au gratin, they decided to show their appreciationto this bountiful land of potatoes by endowing a college. Theystipulated that enrollment should never exceed four studentsbecause they felt that only by keeping the college this small

Or, if your tastes run alonganother line, Carmen McRaemay interest you at Storyvillein the Bradford Hotel.

Nearer at home, the HaydenGallery here at the institutewill have major paintings fromthe Whitney Museum on dis-play until February 28. Thesepaintings - 30 oils and 7 water-zolors - are an expression ofthe progress of American art. Ihave seen them and found themmost intriguing. Definitelyworth taking out an hour or soto see.

If your looking for folklore:oncerts Jordan Hall might be,worth looking into Saturday at3:30. William Clauson and his,uitar promises to be a sensa-tion in the field with his tenorvoice. If he can please the NewYork Times he must be some-:hing out of the ordinary.

Going abroad? Well, even ifyou only wish you were, theseries of lectures illustrated,vith slides being given in theFrustees Room of the BostonUMuseum should prove first-rate.rhe lectures are every Tuesdayiight at 7 and include such top-cs as the "Monuments ofRome," "Galleries of Paris," and'Small Towns of Spain." Artind architecture will be empha-sized, but an attempt is madelo keep the scope quite broad.

A marvelous soprano will singin the MIT Chapel to the ac-eompaniment of the organist,Thomas Curtis. The soprano,Louise Curtis, received her mu-sical training in Boston andNew York. There will be tenselections. It will be held Feb-ruary 12 at 4 p.m. This concertIs the first Sunday afternoonorgan concert in the MIT Chapelsince the Christmas season andis open to the public free of2harge.

For those interested in opera,Boston University is holding itsaudition sessions through Feb-ruary 15. They are being heldat the School of Fine and Ap-plied Arts Auditorium. It isunder the leadership of Prof.Ludwig Bergmann and N.Y.C.soprano Adelaide Bishop. Al-

though a non-credit course,there is not a finer opportunityin Boston for those interested.

Although relatively quiet,Boston still contains ample op-portunity for first class enter-tainment this week. Don't missthe spectacles of TremontStreet.

Josh White ToThe second concert of the

MIT Choral Society's Guest Ar-tist Series will present JoshWhite on Friday evening, at8:30 p.m., in Kresge Auditori-um, with seats by reservationonly.

Josh is ranked with thegreatest of the folksingers ofour time. The key to his tre-mendously successful careerthroughout the thirties, fortiesand fifties undoubtedly stemsfrom the imagination and deepemotional feeling which he in-jects into each song that hesings, and he is still referred toas the "Daddy" of the folk-singers.

Coach Ben Martin's varsityhockey team won its sixthstraight game Wednesday,downing Wesleyan, 5-3, in acontest marred by a third periodfree-for-all. The victory fol-lowed two mid-term conquests,over Holy Cross, 10-1, andSalem State Teachers College,11-3. Before the vacation theTechmen dropped the Universi-ty of Pennsylvania, 8-2.

The punches were traded latein the third period. Steve Levy'62 and Wesleyan's Dave Ek-land came together near theWesleyan blue line. In the me-lee several sticks were raisedbefore the officials broke up thefray, with Levy and Eklanddrawing roughing penalties.

Weikel Paces ScorersTony Weikel '63 led the Tech

scoring, caging two goals, onein the first and one in the sec-ond period. Levy opened thescoring at 0:40 of the first stan-za, and Weikel counted at 6:52.Mike Denny '63 found the rangeat 13:35. Wesleyan scored twicein the first period.

MIT missed several fine op-portunities in the second periodwhen they were one and some-times two men up on the visi-tors.-The lone home score camefrom Weikel at 12:25, and Wes-leyan counted at 17:25.

Basketball Team Cops TwoOn Midterm Trip South

By Edward M. Schneider '62The MIT varsity basketball

team hosts Case tomorrownight in Rockwell Cage, hopingto continue the fine play thatcarried them to a successful2-1 road trip between terms.During that trip, the Engineersrouted Stevens Tech, 84-46, andJohns Hopkins, 77-59, after be-ing nipped by Hartford, 70-68.

Although surging to a 12-2lead in the opening minutes,Tech could not contain thesharp-shooting Hartford cagers.Hartford connected on 46% ofits floor shots compared toMIT's 37%. The Engineers'often-erratic foul s h o o t i n gdipped to a low 64%. CenterDave Koch '62 contributed 32points to the Tech effort.

Tech Bounces BackWhat a change against Ste-

vens! It was MIT all the way.Never in danger, the Engineersscored on 56% of their floorshots. Leading the squad wereKoch with 31 points (73%shooting average) and TomBurns '62 with 18 (70%).

Hitting on five of his first six

long jump shots, sophomoreJeff Paarz led MIT to its vic-tory over Johns Hopkins. Heended up with 19 points, fivefewer than high-scorer DaveKoch.

HOOP HAPPENINGSDave Koch is now the leadingscorer and rebounder in theGreater Boston Area. . . . Heis averaging 23.9 points pergame. .... Koch was named tothis past week's All-New Eng-land basketball team. .... Al-though it doesn't show in thebox score, Phil Robinson '62 hasbeen doing great work on de-fense for Tech. ... With a 7-6record, MIT is heading for itsbest season in quite 'a while.. . .This Saturday's game willbe carried by WTBS starting at8:15. .... Tech has led at half-time in the last twelve games.
