Spring, Balloons -Burst upon MiTby Dave Vilkommerson '62

The finest qtualities of a man -eouragle, compe)2tiiveness, quick think-

ing, ingenuity, a strong arm, and asense of humor - arec being' developedin the water fights sprin--ininLr up, likethe flowers and the finals, in thespr~ing.

Friday niglht witnessed the polish-ins of these qualities at the dorms, atthe fraternities, and even at Bexley.

At West Campus, the Deke's andPhi Beta's "attacked" Burton House,using 1-0 gross of water' balloons.Burton joined the fray and carr-ied offa trophy, the Pleke trash can. BakerHouse was then attacked, with in-compllete results.

The other fraternities hadl wvortlthierobjectives. Usin- lacrosse. sticks to ob-tain added -rane, tie fr-aternit y menpropelled water balloons at the fairdamsels li-ving' in the 3U domns ofCharlesgate.

The Coeds on third floor of Bexleydecided to garnish the heads of passer-bys wvith the uhtiquitous water balloon.

One such unfortunate happened to liveat Grad House, and he quickly formeda vigilante committee of the GradHouse to stamp out such wanton be-

havior. The committee encamped onthe fourth floor of Bexeley and when-ever one of the third floor par-ticipantsdared lean out to take aim, emptied awastebasket of water on her head.

This proved effective.In East Campus, particularly fifth

floor Wood and fifth floor Walcott, thea.rt of water balloon throwing is atits peak. The plain water balloon is acarefully calibrated device, made tobreak on just the right contact, not onthrowving, not to bounce off harmlessly.

In addition to the regular var-iety,the East Campusites boast a doublfeballoon. This is composed of a wvaterballoon inside a.n air-filled balloon.When hitting somiething, the air bal-loon causes the water balloon to forma thin horizontal sheet of water-, caus-ing maximum coverage.

Inscn-mm adopted two resolutionsr·ecoImmending that funds supplied bythe National Defense Education Actbe neither accepted nor rejected onthe grounds of the- loyalty oath.

Dick Kaplan '60, president of theA.thletic Association, brought up the

, resolution that NDEA funds shouldnot be accepted or rejected becauseof the loyalty oath. He termed the

! decision a "significant and novel"oiie.

The second -resolution recommend-ed that the decision to accept or i'e-jeet funds should be left entirely upto the individual concerned.

iKaplan explained that objection tothe loyalty oath by heads of othershools was purely on intellectualgrounds. He cited risin- costs as a

reason amainst the Presideint of IMITturninfig dowVn funds fr- what he

called an "individual decision."

No Worse Than

Pledge of Allegiance

Kaphtn said he "could see nothingworse in the loyalty oath than wasin the Pled-ge of Allegiance." He said,"Inscorem, if it passed a resolutioneither condelmning' oi- condonin' tileact, would be expressing the opinionsof its thirteen memibers. And any-body's opinion is as good as ours."

Kaplani added, "It is quite possiblethat we wvill be unpopular with liber-als in the area."

A year of headline spells out a year of news at MIT. The Tcchfor September 19, 1958, started the news year off with this -"940 Fresh Register for Orientation; Total Enrollment of 6200Expected." For the freshmen, this would he a year of ne-wthings; and for the residents of Burton - freshmian throughsenior - this would be a year of something new too.

The much-talked-about Housem-aster Plan -went into effect illSeptemnber with Professor Howard Bartlett as Housemaster ofBurton House. Meanwhile, over on East Cam-pus, Senior Housewas busy breaking away fr-om the Parallels. In a referendum on},ay 30, 1958, the residents of Senior House had voted to politi-cally disassociate from East Campus, and spenit the term settingup their own constitution.

On the social side, Junior Prom was on its way. The headlinein The Teck on Septemnber 23 told the story: "Harry James atJunior Prom: Sat. Night Stars Count Basle; Raffle SystemEliminates Long Waiting Line for Tickets." There would be nomore all night stands in Building 10. Instead, Lady Luck would

decide the seating arrangements for a JP promnising the biggestentertainment in a long time.

Going along with the big band sounds of JP came the soundof a r~evival - the Techtonians were coming back.

Parking -problems always make news, and this year was noexception. More space appeared in the "1-3-5-7" area, and wheenavailable space Tan out, the Security Force and the IFC gottogether and set up a system giving fraternities special permitsfor car pools.

October 3 - "Commuters and 5:15 Combine To Form NRSA;To HaveP On-Campus House Soon". MIT's non-resident studentsgot together in an unprecedented move, dissolving the Com-mluteifs Association and the 5:15 Club, and calne Ulp with theNoon-Resident Students' Association.

W1hile all this activity was going on among the living groups,tie fr'eshman and sophomore classes were preparing for FieldDay '58 -back again after a one year absence. Strict rules andlew contests bothered everyone but the classes of '61 and '62.These twvo worked away at telephone poles (to be converted intototem poles by November 7) and an assortment of lumber and oildriums (to be converted into sea-going vessels by the same (late).

JP Friday night saw the' Statler Grand Ballroom packed withabout 1200 people, living it up to the music of HaMry Janmes. OnSaturday afternoon, the freshmen and sophomores went at it,with the usual grim and gray determination which accoimparniesglove fights and tugs-of-war. The '61 boat came out ahead onthe julging and the actual race, but the freshmen won the daywith the other events.

Saturday night saw niearly 7:;0 Techmlen and dates jammedinto the Cage foi- Count Basic, Joe Williaons, and liberal amountsof "hbring-your.-owin."

Mary Weed, as Emily, continues to deserve my preference as the best fe,,::actress around Boston, and she accomplishes marvels with the very tough se.tmental lines of the end of the third act. Let's hope she keeps her position asleading lady of the company. As for John Cazale, (George Gibbs), his portrayis absolutely stupendous, hilarious, touching, thrilling.

I _ ,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Significant Year. '58-'59As wc look toward the finals which bear close upon us,

x-e renmember the feeling which never fails to appear uponthe approach of our first exam. It is that we have donethis before - and such a short time ago. Time seems torace by ait MIT, making the past events and experiences ofcollcge life appear to be hurled together in an inseparable,indistingulishable mass.

Looking back on the occurances of the 1958-1959 year atthe Institute from our vantage point, however, we can seethat it was filled with accomplishments and actions thatwill, in many ways, change the nature of MIT. It was,incidentally, unmarred by- any major disasters, both naturaland student-created. The tuition raise for the Fall of '60was announced on Friday - and there was no "disturb-ance"; neither have any fraternity men been jailed thisspring. Some may comment, "drab"; others, "mature".

On a higher level, however, Dr. Stratton's election to thePresidency of MIT was perhaps the most significant newsitem of the year. From all indications, his Inaugurationwill also be a gala event. The school is rapidly preparingfor the morning of June 15. Institute workmen are es-pecially busy with the moving of trees, rebuilding of side--walks (which, perhaps, will not consistently hold greatpools of water) and general tidying up of the physicalplant.

The new President seems to be steering the great ship ofMIT on a new and interesting course as the nature of theengineering education almost certainly is destined forsweeping changes. The most tangible manifestation ofthis trend was in the appointment of Gordon Brown to theposition of Dean of Engineering. Dr. Brown, in his yearsas chief of the Electrical Engineering Department, hasshown his ability in making changes consistent with the"engineering-science" philosophy.

We also hail Dr. Stratton for his Kresge speech toundergraduates and his promise for the continuation ofsuch a program. li7hal MIT is and icill be should be an in-terest of exery undergraduate, and there is no one morequalified to speak on this subject than Dr. Stratton - think-ing of hill both as a person and as our president.

On the student's side of the ledger, the MIT under-graduate has, for the first time in recent years, come underdirect attack. The way he dresses, his seeming lack ofcontemporary ethics, his denial of the value of social gracesall seem to be issues which have a great many people con-cerned - from Atlan/ic columnists to various members ofthe administration. Perhaps there is really nothing toworry about, but this is taking the easy way out. If any-thing is wrong in this area and should be improved, it canbe done only on a grass roots level. At least these com-ments have brought into the open something which a greatmany people have felt for a long time. In this case, how-ever, realization of the problem is probably the best, andonl) way to a solution.

Student government has rolled on in its traditional fash-ion, still wrestling with the problem of what it can do thatwill be of value. We have suggested that Institute Com-mittee is not to be blamed alone for this haziness of pur-pose. We believe that in mainy cases the administrationpowers have neglected student consideration and havethereby made less effective the course of action which wasfollowed.

The Interfraternity Conference, with the institution oftheir cooperative buying program, has taken a great stepforward in the last year. The telephone system in thefraternities is another example of this group's constantrealization of the good it can do acting as a service organi-zation for the fraternity system. Another aspect of its pro-gram, the Endicott conference, showed how valuable IFCcan be for coordinating information and ideas exchangebetween the chapters. The only black mark on its year's rec-ord is the recent passage of a motion allowing pre-RushWeek contact between freshmen and fraternity menthrougt~h the ride service offered by indivdual houses. Onthe surface this sounds innocent enough, but in the past ithas provided much leeway for pre-Rush Week rushing.Perhaps here, too, the realization of the problem and theprinting of the new rule for all rushees to read will resultin a more honest treatmnent of it by the chapters, even in thelife and death struggle of rushing.

We look forward to the next toelve months in fullknowledge that they too, w-ill bring significant and excit-in, developments as the dynamic entity of MIT continuesits inexorable movement, keeping even with, and at timesleading, the upward march of humanity.

Schwar< Speaks in AnsiwerTo the Editor:

I have followed with interest the correspondence thatdeveloped following the lecture I delivered to a group atyour institution. As frequently happens, the central issueof my lecture has tended to become obscured by peripheralminutiae during the correspondence. I take the liberty ofrestating my central themes.

"World Communism is making frightening progress to-wards its self-proclaimed goal of world conquest.

Their formula for world conquest is encirclement plusdemoralization equals surrender.

An obligation rests on each of us to honestly acknowl-edge the evidence and make the personal sacrifices necessaryto thwart the Communist objective".

The elucidation of the last thesis is the heart of the prob-lem and time and space prevent the enunciation of a pro-gram here.

May I quote from the book, "How, To Become A GoodCommunZisi", authored by Liu Shao-Chi, president of Com-munist China, and published by the Foreign LanguagesPress, Peking, China. (1951.)

"What is the most fundamental and common duty of usCommunist party members? As everybody knows it is toestablish Communism, to transform the present world intoa Communist world." (P 37)

"Therefore, the cause of Communism has become apowerful invincible force throughout the world. There isnot the slightest doubt that this force will continue todevelop and advance and will win final and completevictory .... Consequently we shall have to go through along, bitter, circuitous and arduous process of strugglebefore we defeat them". (P 41)

Liu Shao-Chi is obviously in error on one point. Every-body does vo/ know that the fundamental goal of Com-

mnunists is to conquer the world. A number of your cor-respondents must be excluded. I submit that Liu Shao-Chihas superior qualifications to indicate Communist objectivesthan they.

The problem confronting us is literally, "The survivalof Christian civilization from the advancing brutal barbar-ism of Atheistic Communism". The Rev. Myron B. Bloy,Jr., may prefer euphemistic phraseology but I believe yourreaders, students of a great scientific institution, prefer the

ugly truth.Fred SchwarzExecutive Director'Christian Anti-Communism Crusade

OurM Towln

"Our Town", by Thornton Wilder, currently at theCharles Playhouse, was, at the time of its first presentation,a revolution not soon to be forgotten! It deals with life inGrovers Corners, a small and typical town in the UnitedStates, with small and typical sentiments, small and typicalcharacters; but far from being a fault, these smallness andlocal colour in the play are qualities and part of the successof the story. For "Our Town" is a sort of Americana, inwhich every single detail is observed with wit, humour andenjoyable reality. If there is a play in the world where thespectator is asked and can identify himself with the char-acters "Our Town" is certainly it. There are no grandiosesentiments, no length, "alexandrin" speeches, no 20th cen-tury anguish, in a word, no "posterity" ingredients: it waswritten for you and me. It's no surprise to know that the

play wasn't very successful at first: who wants to recognizeherself in that foolish growing adolescent named EmilyWebb? Who wvants to be exactly the mirror image of theshy and clumsy George Gibbs?

Thornton Wilder added more to his play than a meresatire (the word is wrong: it should be portrayal) or, life ina small town. There are specific directions not to use anyscenery, stage props, or special light effects: why create theillusion of precise objects and environment if the subjectof the play is not an illusory one? Therefore the revolution

was complete; comprising the story, the characters and thelanguage as well as what we call in French the "mise-en-scene".

The result of it as the Charles Playhouse couldn't be moresatisfactory. Their production is a delight, a relaxing, re-freshing show, enough to make you look at this world ofours with condescendent eyes.

Edward Finnegan as the "stage-manager" has a superbperformance, a masterpiece of good acting. Well at easein the role, natural, dominating the part with the perfectionof a skilled craftsman, he floods the stage with joy, commonsense philosophy and sympathy, putting the whole audienceso well at ease and so intimate with the development of theaction that for a moment we feared that, when one of thecharacters asks the spectators if they have any further

questions about Grovers Corners, somebody would get upand sa) something. Edward Finnegan has long deservedsuch a chance and his performance in "Our Town" is thefinest of any we have seen this year.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN

This is the last column of my fifth year of writing for PhilipMorris and Marlboro. I have made it a custom in the lastcolumn of each year not to be funny. I know I have alsorealized this aim in many other columns during the year, butthat was not for lack of trying. Today I am not trying. I am-. nottrying for two reasons: First, because you are getting ready forfinal exams and in your present state of shock, nothing in theworld could possibly make you laugh. And second, this finalcolumn of the year is for many of us a leave-taking, and good-byes always make me too misty to be funny.

For me the year ends neither with a bang nor a whim per, butwith a glow--a warm, pleasant, mellow glow-the kind of glowyou will find, for example, at the end of a Philip Morris orMarlboro.

It has been in every way a gratifying experience, my fiveyears with the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro, and Iwould like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfeltappreciation to these good tobacconists, to assure them thatthe memory of their kindness will remain ever green in myheart, and to remind them that they still owe me for the lastthree columns.

And in these waning days of the school year, let me addressmyself seriously to you, my readers. Have I trod on any toesthis year? Ruffled any feelings? Jostled any sensibilities? Ifso, I am sorry.

Have I occasioned any laughs? Chuckles? Sniggers? AMonaLisa smiles? If so, I'm glad.

Have I persuaded any of you to try Philip Morris andMarlboro? To taste that fine flavor? To smoke that excellenttobacco? If so, you are glad.

And now the long, lazy summer lies ahead. But for me suni-mer is never lazy. It is, in fact, the husiest time of yefir. Twosummers ago, for instance, I was out ringing doorbells ceerysingle day, morning, noon, and night. There was a contest,you see, and the kid in my neighborhood who sold the mnostbluing won a pony. I am proud to report that I was the luckywinner.

Last summer I was also out ringing doorbells every singleday, morning, noon, and night. I was trying to sell the pony.

of his educational institution."The idea expressed by this resolu-

tion was summed up by anothelr res-olution passed at the same meeting:

"Resolved that the Institute Colm-mittee does not feel that it is rightto make value judgments (underlin-ing mine) for the individuals of theMIT commiunity on any loyalty oathprovision."

Thus Inscorem has said that theindividual's feelings about loyaltyoaths arle very much his oxvn con-cern. Further, he should not be p)re-vented from accepting finrncial aidto which a loyalty oath plrovision isattached because of another perlson'sfeelings, howsever strong. No need-student should suffer because of thebeliefs of his college administration.his student government, or the edli-tors of his college newspaper.

As for the question of w-hetherloyalty oaths are in themselves "good" or not, the Institute Commlit-tee prefers to leave that decision th,the individual. The loyalty oath prlo-vision of the NDEA was written byCongress to please the "folks bIackhome." It seems clear that those ofus who disapprove of loyalty oathsshould spend our energy talkingi' t(,the "folks back homrne," not to eachother.

Nife Crawler Request ShowTECH SHOW AUCTION

To the Editor of The Tech:The loyalty oath provision of the

National Defense Education Act hasbeen a fav-orite topic of The Techeditorials of late. In view- of the in-terest in the Act, the Executive Com-mittee of Institute Comninttee intro-duced the. following resolution at theinmeeting of April 23, 1959:

"Resolved that the Institute Com-mittee disapprov-es of the loyaltyoath provision of the NDEA."

This resolution which was intro-duced to facilitate discussion of theloyalty oath, was tabled indefinitelybecause not enough information wasavailable for intelligent discussion.Accusations of irresponsibility werefoilthcoining from The Tech but manymembers of Insconrem relt that totake a stand without proper prepa-ration would be irresponsible indeed.

At its meeting of Mlay 21. 1959, theInstitute Committee again discussedthe NDEA. This time the followingresolution vas passed unnqnimously:

"Resolved that the Institute Com-mittee feels that the Na;tionial De-fense Education Act slhould not beaccepted or rejected by the Adminis-tration of this Institutioni on the ba-sis of its loyalty oath pro'-isions. Anyqualified student who is willing toabide by the provisions of the Actshould not be prevented £r-om so do-ing by action of the Adaninistration

(Coltilued froi, page 1)The Institute gave the world - or

at least a part of it - a look at whatgoes on behind the grey walls on May2, the date of Open House 1959. About25,000 people romped through the cor-ridors during the five hours whenevery department was ready for vis-itors.

As the year wore on, Institute Coni-mittee began worrlying about the costof education and formed a committeeto gather facts and present them tothe administration. But before thecommittee could 'neet, a tuition raisefor June 1960 was announced.

Over 300 students listened atten-tively in Kresge as President Strattonspoke informally on the Institute'sdevelopment and plans. The highlysuccessful talk was praised by all wvhoattended and hopes for a repeat per-formance this fall have been ex-pressed.

More news fronm the administrationthis time a change in personnel:

The Tech, May 5 -- "Brown NamedNew Dean of Engineering; Soderbergto Become Institute Professor." Dean

Soderberg was not alone in his ap-pointment for Dr. Norbert \Veinelrwas also given the title of InstituteProfessor.

On the lighter side, IFC and DormWeekends were the occasion fordances, parades and contests. W'hilethe IFC was whooping it up at the oldcorral with a wild west theme, thedormitories shipped out to sea bothliterally and figuratively.

The rest of this year's news is stillto be written. Senior Week will fol-low finals, and graduation will fol-low Senior Week for those who havemade it through the hectic thesis perli-od. On Alumni Day this year, Dr.Stratton will be inaugurated as prlesi-dent of MIT.

F inal Issue,This is the last issue of The Tecih

for the spring term. Publicatioll willresume next September.

The Board of Directors and tilestaff of The Tech extend to the en-tire MIT Community best wishes f,,:a pleasant sumnmer and a successfulexam period.

All three heavyweight crewls can;tthrough in fine style in the E4P, C.championships at Princeton as eachplaced second in its qualifying heal,thus defeating shells that had beatenjthem earlier in the season. i

Wisconsin Race CloseDefinitely the most exciting race cd

the year for Frailey's varsity charge,was the battle at Wisconsin, rhich Ithe Badgers won by a deckleillgwith a closing spurt.

In another important Taece the var.sity sweep-swingers took an earl.lead but faded in the final mile andplaced fourth behind Harvard, Prince.ton and Dartmouth in the Conpot~Cup classic.

Gerry Zwart's freshmen proved th,most exciting Tech lightweight eightof the year. The frosh ended the yearwith a fifth place finish in the EA&Craces on the Charles, the best shot.ing of any Tcch crew that da3. Ear.lier in the season they placed thirdin a tight race behind the Crimilsonand Green, and finished just asternof a powerful Cornell eight.

The varsity lights, under Val Skov,took third place in both the Biglinrand Geiger Cup Regattas, traditionaslightweight races. They failed t.,qualify in the EARC events.

The varsity heavies still have t:,,dates of racing ahead of th1em: a tii.angular race at Dartrno,:th and thtIRA championships at Syracuse, bothin June.

Nine EndsGoodnow,- ParmaleeAre Boston All-Stars

The MIT varsity baseball teamclosed its 1959 season wNrith a lacklustre 5-11-1 record. After nippingRutgers 2-1 in their first game, theEngineer diamond crew dropped fourin a row before tying WPI 5-5. Re-turning from the spring recess, theteam downed Bates 4-1 and Clark 8-4in their first four outings. However,victories were scarce the rest of theyear as the Tech nine could only winfrom hapless Coast Guard, 7-1, andBrandeis, 6-2.

Captain Warren Goodnow '59 re-peated as the Greater Boston All-Star catcher, and Bowdoin transferHal Parmalee '60, was named as areserve second baseman on thisspring's All-Star squad. Goodnow wasTech's leading slugger this springwith three home runs, and Parmaleeexcelled on defense. Al Beard '59 ledthe Cardinal and Gray moundsmenwith two wins to his czedit, whileDick Oeler '60 and John Blinn '61each chalked up one victory.

Athletics at MIT during theschool year 1958 - 59 were high-lighted by a few outstanding var-sity teams and others that show-ed great improvement Intramu-ral competition was marked by en-thusiasm and large participationas well as successful completionof virtually all seasons.

Fall at MIT saw the soccerteam. get off to a slow start, andthen come back to tie WPI andArmy before whipping Tufts andCoast Guard 4-1. The booters' lastgame was a triumph over Dart-mouth that gave them a 5-4-2record. As the leaves feli the sail-ing team placed consistentlyamong the top squads. They -oonthe Oberg Regatta and were sec-ond in the Hoyt competition. Thethird and final autumn intercolle-giate aggregation was the crosscountry team that opened withwins over Brandeis and Williamsbut faded to finish with a 3-5 slate.

Intramural football providedsome highly spirited, and at timesquite rough competition. SAE, theBetas, the Fijis, and the Delts wontheir respective leagues in A Di-vision. The Delts gained the cham-pionship when they edged the Fi-jis 7-6 in a thriller.

With the first flakes of snow,MIT opened the winter sports sea-son with ten teams. T"he hockeyteam proved surprising as theystopped their two and one-halfyear losing streak with a 3-3 tiewith Cornell. In their seasonfinale they ended the winless fam-ine with a 9-4 decision over WPI.The strongest swimming team ina decade broke MIT records atalmost every meet. During theseason, they captured seven of tenmeets, and at its end they finishedfourth in the New England Swim-ming Championships. The fencershad a 6-3 record and a second inthe NE meet, while the wrestlersstarted off the schedule with a winbut then settled to a quiet seasbn.The pistol and rifle teams werewinning ones, but not of cham-pionship caliber.

The basketball team wras disap-pointing with a 3-13 record. How-ever, three of their losses wvereby only a single point and anotherby a single basket. The indoortrack squad, weakened .by lack ofdepth, won their meet with UNHand lost the remaining three.

Last of the winter teams to be-gin their competition, the skiingteam proved to be the most suc-

cessful cold weatlher varsity atAIT. The Beav-er skiers didn't failto place in any meet. They wonthe Tufts Trophy, the AIC Tro-phy, and were second for the AsaOsburn Trophy. Cro-,l wnp.' the sea-son was the capture of the NEConference title.

Grad A topped Phi Beta Epsi-lon for the IN1 hockey champion-ships, while Grad House dumpedBurton in the finale for the bas-ketbalL crown.

The tennis team wNxaas the sur-prise of the spring w':ith a 10-3mark and a tie for second in theNew Englands, howev er, much of'the headline space went to thepowerful lacrosse team that wonten of eleven games. The crewsimproved steadily but were nomatch for the Harnvard sweep-swingers. The MIT entries in sail-ing, golf, baseball, anid outdoortrack were all creditable, but de-feats were internminglled freely-with successes.

The resignation of basketballcoach John Burke prompted thehiring of Jack Barry of Mdethuento handle the hoopsters next year.

As the paper goes to press, GradHouse A is almost in possessionof the IM softball title.

Lacrossemen Win TenDrop One;second Great Year for Ben Martin

I

The varsity lacrosse team of 1959ill go into the records -is one of the

t standin squads ever to wear MIT;ifOrms. They compiled ten winsile suffering only one loss, and in0ing so rolled up even higher scoreshan the 1958 aggregation that was

ht andl two to win the Class C Co-anpionship. This spring's stickmenre only a slim chance .-.f repeating

Gis honor which wvill probably go toJew Hampshire, their only conqueror,though MIT defeated siuch schools

Amnherst, Harvard, Tufts, andrwn.Although their success was a team

fert, the varsity lacrossemen's sea-0n was highlighted by several greatdividual performances. 3Mrost strik-;g of these was the play of midfield-

er Charlie Fitzgerald '59, who scoredn every game to lead the team with

goals and 5 assists and in additionras the only Techman selected toilar on the North All-Star team.The other two members of the first

ridfield, a 1 t h o u g h overshadowedm!iewhat by Fitzgerald, vere strong

,ontributors to the squad's victories..rJiii Russell '59, faith 16 goals and 7,15 oals and 17 assists, conbined with'Russell to form the midfield scorediMore than half of the team's goalsduring the season.

leason.i-Besides these three stars, an at-

tack-man and a defensernan also out-:ho0ne their teammates. Paul Ekberg'59 was the top MIT attackman, ashis hustle and hard play enabled himto tally 16 times and gain cedit for6 assists. On defense, 6' 4" John Cad-wallader '60 was the mani who wasmost difficult for Tech's opponentsto drive around in addition to break-

ub Up numerous offensive thrusts.Coach Martin Praised

When a team does as well as thevarsity lacrossemen, there is littledoubt that a great deal of the credit'or their success goes to the coach.Ben Martin did a remarkable job inpuiding his squad to their ten vie-1o0ies. It was very appro.priate and

a tribute to his ability that he wasnamed coach of the North. All Starteam that plays the South on June 5in Baltimore. Another indication ofCoach Martin's work was his team'sfeeling that they were better thanany squad they faced.

The second midfield of Dan Michael'60, Joe Skendarian '61, and Nat Flo-rian '60, and midfielders Bob Wil-liamson '59, Larry Boyd '59, andGeorge Peckingham '59 added muchto the MIT fortunes. Attackmen DondeReynier '60 and Chuck Conn '60,and defensemen Phil Robinson '61,Herb Priluck '59, and Novis Smith'59 were other stalwarts.

The goaltending duties were splitevenly between Phil Frink '61 andDix Browder '59. Both did quite ca-pable jobs.

The prospects for next spring donot look very bright as the scoringnucleus of the team will be gone.

Coxswains Capture

Charles River CupIn a thrilling half-mile duel Sat-

urday the Tech crew coxswains out-rowed the managers, to easily wlinthe Charles River Challenge Cup. Ar-nold Olshaker '59 stroked the coxshell to their 38 second win in 3:40.

The bow man in the cox boat, Mer-lin Dorfman '61, reported that thevictory could be attibuted to the "to-getherness" on the part of the win-ners. The winners were not hamperedby "crabs" during the entire race,but the managers were lucky if theycompleted a stroke without a crab,it alas reported. The beat reached ahigh of 20 late in the race. The man-agers got off to a rather poor startas their five man jumpet his slideand had some trouble fixing it.

The Charles River Challenge Cup,symbol of MIT Coxswain-Managerrowing supremacy, is a shiny porce-lain bowl standing about two incheshigh.
