Under the pressure of demand it has ad- vanced from a rather minor position to the third largest department at the Institute. As yet no very ill astic changes -have been made during the present crisis. In September 1939 the first step was taken when the qluota of the under- graduate school was increased from thirty to forty mlembers per class. It would be possible to place a much larger number in industry; but in spite of pressure by the student body and business interests thefacultydoes not intend to increase the enrollment any further. Maintain Standards The Department does 'not wish to lower standards by eovercrowdlng the courses. Gradulates are practically "guaranteed" now and the department does not want any chang~es in this respect.

Started in 1896 Ae onautical Engineering at Tech- nology got its start in 1896 when the first experiments were made in a three foot square wind tunnel with a wind velocity of twenty M.P.H. After this beginning other experinents were conducted; among them were those on propellei s and tests made with an early Burgess We ight biplane. The first actual lectures were given in 1912 under the auspices of the Mechanical Engineerin-g Department. In 1913 Dr. Hunsaker was detailed by the U. S. Navy Department to as- sist in establishing courses and re- search in aeronautics. In 1914 a new wind tunnel was constructed four feet square with a speed of thirty M.P.H.

THE READER SPEAKSTo the Editor of The Tech:

Wiithout doubt, much thought has been given to thecurrent "crisis" over V~oo Doo. Certain actions lavtebeels taken by the Institute Committee oil this con-troversy. Jtlst wvhat powers lie at the discretion ofthe president of the Illstitute Committee alone, conl-cernling these actions? Whlat possible results can begaillef by such actions?

Wie wvill grant something may have been wrong witilVoo Doo, but Xwe do feel that something is very wrIongwith the manner in which the problem has beenllandled. Aetually, the Institute Committee Constitu-tiOll granlts 110 power of "resuming control" of anyorganization oil campus. Howvever, the power to In-vestigate is fully conlstitutionlal. Fromn the recent ac-tiOllS, this powver of investigation has been rather cir-cunivented, ill favor of illquisitionl. Furthermore, theinzvestigation1 took the form of a two hour bull sessionwith V/oo Doo, ill which facts were omitted, personalopinion and prejudice substituted. Discussion without-siders, howvever, lhas been copious and wvellsolicited.

The raws deal ws lich lVoo Doo has been given goeswvell into tile Institute Committee. A suggestion forl efel eldum was turned dowvn wsith the explanationthat:

l. A poll run by the same Institute Committeewvould le "estuffed and buggered!"

9. Tecll students make "flash decisions" when vot-inlg. Incidentally, the president of this same commit-tee w as electedl by a verye slim margin of these same'Tfasili decisions".

The methods of illegally "resumngilt control" con1-llote., the methods being used allross the wvaters.Decisions hlave been made, approval asked afterwvards.Illegal appointments made, approval asked afterwards.III shlort, one vote has been allowed, Ja. Wool has})een p~ilied over the eyes of many of us Tech students,and the time is ripe for a clean slate.

1,'aiikly, just what is going onl behind the scelles?PW'ditor's .AVote: Th1e writer of this 7etter, who asked

that his Jeame b)e ivithheld. has nlevel, been conlnectes7?('iti tile Voo Doo staff,

Thle queestion1 of thle legality of the instititte Com-*,oittee's action, raised in the above commu71Znication, isscttled comtptetely in the Constitution of the U~ider-yrtaditate Association, of which the fIst. Comm77. is the7cg,/islalive and executive body.

Ar^tic7e ir of the constitution says: "Thle purpose oftilis organization is to . . . exercise SUChS super-visionover thle several student activities as will insure thatthley are co71ducted in the best interest of the studentbody as a whole and to the credit of the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology." This provision obvi-oits~y grants the power of control over activities ex-ercised1 last week. Precedent also fupports the action,saimiar m~oves havirg been made several times intile past.

Nov. 14, 1940Dear Mr. Editor:

With regard to the action of the Institute Com-mittee in refusing Class A recognition to the M. I. T.Debating Society, I should like to point out that thisdecision is unfortunates not only with regard to thepresent case, but also as a matter of precedent. Sucha refusal to recognize an outstanding organization onthe Institute Committee seems to pat a stigma onClass B activities which may seriously fialibit theirvalue to the undergraduate -body.

It wsas admitted by most of the members of theCommittee that the Debating Society was very wellrun, had a worthwhile program, and represented theInstitute favorably to other schools. The scope of

by the members of the Voo Doo. Or, washe to consider the magazine staff automati-cally out of the picture as incapable of pro-ducing the kind of a publication which wasneeded? This idea is evidently the one enter-tained by Klyce, in view of the fact that theissue now being prepared is being handledmainly by non-Voo Dooers.

Legally, of course, this latter interpreta-tion, which is guiding the work now beingcarried out and the one to which the presentVoo Doo management is objecting on thegrounds of alleged unfairness, is entirely inthe right. Klyce, holding all the powers ofthe publication's Managing Board, couldpublish an issue with the help of men fromVoo Doo, Technique, the track squad, thestreets, or by himself.

The point is that the motion last week atthe Institute Committee meeting was notconcretely clarified. All the dissension ram-pant now arose from misinterpretation. TheVoo Doc, staff should have been told its posi-tion simply and positively.

Because the Voo Doo management now isnot being adjudged capable of publishing amagazine, it should be told where it stands.We cannot hope for a more auspicious futurefrom this situation if a show-down is notimminent.

DELENDA EST CARTHAGOThe case of Voo Doo vs. the Institute

Committee abounds with loopholes whichhave haunted the affair since its birth. Andnow as the battle grows hotter with thescheduled appearance of an issue of Voo Doonext week, they are being magnified to pro-portions far beyond their relative importanceto the basic issues.

These fundamental insufficiencies have be-come so encompassing that the original goalof the affair, the amelioration of Voo Doo,is likely to be lost altogether.

The first "should-havc" came about whenthe Institute Committee last week neglectedto take the immediate action which theirconvictions told them should be taken. Al-most every member of that body was of theopinion that Voo Doo, as it stood beforethem, was a prettr bad publication, that cer-tainly its present Board should be removedfor the good of the magazine and the Insti-tute it represents.

But the Voo Doo Board was not removed.Natural conservatism, an inherent repug-nance to revolutionary change, restrained theInstitute Committee. Its members chose amore compromising method.

Regardless of whether this choice of orderwas wise or not, it certainly wasn't carriedout with absoluteness. A compromise neces-sarily involves concessions by both sides, butit also is a gentlemen's agreement- positive,clear, unambiguous. The action taken bythe Institute Committee last week was not.And therein lies the second loop-hole in thecase.

W~hat the Institute Committee did lastweek was this: It appointed a representativewith all the powers vested in the ManagingBoard to submit to the Committee withinthree weeks a plan of reorganization for VooDoo. What it didn't do was this: It failedto declare just how its representative, Mr.Kiyve, was to operate. With regard to thepending issue of Voo IDoo, was he supposedto meet with the staff, telling it what waswanted, issue his assignments, and then waitand either approve or reject the copy sub-mitted for publication? In short, was he tobe a reforming superviser who worked with,albeit above, the present Voo Doo Board?This plan, so they say, was the one envisaged

Hoopsters StartPractising Hard

With only three weeks left untilthey meet Harvard on December 6,the basketball squad swung intoharder practice this week under thedirection of mentor H. P. McCarthy.

Although practice in fundamentalsis still being given its due share ofimportance, scrimmage has come intoits own during the practice sessionsof the past week. The team was givenits first scrimmage last Friday eve-ning, of 5 minutes duration and hassteadily increased until the scrim-magecs are nowv a half an hour long.

Prospects for the team are fairlyrosy, with a bigger squad out thanlast year. and a number of expertveterans on the~squad. The freshmanteam is also looking good and in-dications are that they will hare abetter season than last year. Arrange-ments are being made to start a bas-ketball training table as from nextMonday.

I Booters Hoping To BreakJinx Of Season WithVictories Tomorrows

With. strong hopes of breaking thehoodoo that has followed them

through the present season, both ofthe Institute soccer teams will take

the field Saturday against Dartmouth

and New Bedford respectively on

Briggs field.

The varsity match waith Dartmouth

should be a close fight and the

Beavers have hopes of winning. Thel

team has been playing good ball all

season and has much improved in

combination work. They have, how-

ever, been dogged by bad luck. The

defense to date, consisting of John-

son, and Fay at full back and Herzog

in goal, has been excellent letting

very little go by it, while the forward

line has been driving hard at all times,

combining well and keeping the op-

posing goalkeeper s busy.

Tentative Lineup

The freshman tearm, which will play;on the same field after the varsity

I

Id

every team will play two games aweek.

The annual freshman ladder tourna-ment -rill also be run this year as

in the past, so that all men out forsquash will get plenty of practicebefore the regular freshman squashschedule begins.

Lose First Matches

The Bearer varsity lost its firstmatch of the season against the

Union Boat Club by the score of 4-0with one match still to be played.The -Tech team was made ulp of

Corney, Mar, Shietz, and Oszy. PhilFreeman, captain, will play his matchon Friday. Yesterday the Tech Jay-vees lost 5-0 to the Beverly Y.M.C.A.Playing for Tech were Stouse, Peek,Barry, Purinton, and Parry.

Beaver Key WinunersTo Enter Roundrobin

Winners of the two Beaver KeyTouch Football Games to be playedthis weekend will go into the finalround-robin according to Harry KSox,manager. On Saturday at 2:30 thePhi Beta Epsilon squad, whichdowned Sigma Alpha Mlu last week,will come up against Sigma Chi.

it that a senior was daily annoyed b-

the little birds outside his windo-

which daily rose at sunrise an;

greeted the dawn with loud cries o-

joy. This arose other little birds whici-

also heralded day with a rousing cre

scendo; rousing this irate individua

ill particular. So on this morn, ho

quietly sneaked to the window, loadef

a rifle with a .22 calibre target bulle-

and let fly at the bird. His aim wa·

unsteady at that hour, and while hb

did scare tile daylights out of th-

bird, it was as naught compared to hi-

effect on the policeman walking alonu

Memorial Drive. That wvorthy gave a

gasp and dove for a low wall pullin-

his gun as he went.

Half an hour later he cautiousi-

poked his head and then the gur

above the wall. Nothing happened s--

he slowly emerged and sadly shake-

took up his beat again. The day wa-calm and everything was peaceful anCin the distance he could hear thttwitte ing of little birds in the stil-inorn.

the debating teams is limited only by

the funds at their disposal. It was

also pointed out at the meeting that

ability in public speaking was often

greatly lacking in M. I. T. graduates.

The Gene al Manager of The Tech,

after praising the Society, its officers,

and purposes, opposed the recognition

on the grounds that at some future

date the organization might not be so

well managed. A suggestion was also

[nlade that the granting of this par-

ticiilar request would result in a

swarm of other such petitions.

I feel that the refusal to recognize

the worth of the Debatin-. Society by

granting it a seat on the InstituteCommittee was uncalled for in the

I light of aly arguments which were

plresented at the meeting. T-he pos-

!sibility of the society's' goinge down-|hill ill the future could be applied

equally to every activity on thecampus, and to argue that the Insti-|tuite Committee would be swamped

w xitll similar requests, admits the in-abilitv of that body to separate the

wheat froml the chaff.

IThis lrefusal to r ecognize a wvorth-while organization establishes 'aclosed-mlind precedent for the Institute

ICommittee which can only b~e detri-!mental to its funcetionling. Since de-|bating is almost universally recog.nized among the activity leaders at

Iother colleges, the M. I. T. undergrad-uate governing board has passed upan -opportunity to firmly establish asociety wvhichl has proved its worth tothe Inlstitllte over a period of years.

I For Better HealthThe latest addition to Technology's

r ecreational facilities, the new swim-ining pool, has been received with en-

thusiasm by all who have used it since

its opening at the beginning of Sep-Itember.

This pool represents one of the most

modern edifices of its kind in design, !

construction and operation, that exists

in America today. A unique waterpu ification system has been installed

anal placed under competent super-vision. The water is regularly ex-

aimined for chemical and physical prop-

erties and bacteria count.

To help in keeping. the water pure!

and to protect the health of bathers,a. Swvimming Sanitation Committee

has been appointed by President KarlT. Conmpton and consists of thosemnembers of the faculty who will be

most helpful in developing the ideasof the committee.

With an eye to protecting the health

of bathers this Sanitation Committeehas issued the following rules for the

lse of the pool, which it wishes tomake known through the columns ofThe Tech:

1. Use the toilet before taking a

shonwer bath.2. Take a thorough cleansing

shower bath with the aid of soap be-

fore entering the pool. Be sure to

cleanse eve y part of the body thor-oughly.

3. Pass through the foot bath on

entering and leaving the pool. Tomake the treatment effective, remainin the foot bath at least one minute.

4. Avoid spitting, sneezing., or

coughing into the pool. Use the scum

was started in 1914. The courses Were

mostly given by Dr. Hunsaker and

Professor Wilson.

In 1920 the aeronautical work was

transferred to the sponsorship of the

Physics Department. From 1924 to

1927, at the request of the Army and!

Navy, airship work was greatly es-|

panded. At this time another 1vind

tunnel was built with an airspeed of

85 M.P.H. This was moved bodily to

the Daniel Guggenheim Aeronautical l

laboratory.

The Undergraduate school was i

established in 1926. The number ofl

Bachelol s' degrees that have been

awarded was stabilized at between 27

and 33 until the recent change.
