Someprofessors may ,be spending toomuch time on research, and as aresult their students are not re-ceiving enough help and considera-tion, it was suggested.

Possible solutions to the proposedproblems concerning instruction offreshmen and Sophomores wereformulated by various Inscornmembers. It was brought outthat Course VI has publisheda pamphlet to advise instructorsabout ways to improve their teach-ing methods. The Freshman Coun-cil is advising freshmen to taketheir complaints to the heads ofthe departments concerned.

For the third year, students ofthe Junior and Senior classes, andsome graduate students, will be ableto get practical t:aining during thesumuner in factories and plants intwelve European countries. Theexchange is operated by the NSAcommittee here at the Institute,which acts as the Central Commit-tee for the United States in coop-eration with the International As-sociation for the Exchange of Stu-dents for Technical Experience.Other colleges are participating inthe exchange also, among themGeorgia Tech, and the MichiganCollege of lMinig and Technology.

During the past two summers,some sixty Technology studentshave worked in foreign countries,and all of them have reported thatit was one of the most worthwhileexperiences -they have ever had.

The exchange works simply. Thecommittee in the U. S. school ob-tains training opportunities forsummer employment from Ameri-can firms. Similar committees aredoing the same thing in the for-eign countries. In Tanuary, therepresentatives of the Central Com-mittees from each country get to-gether and exchange their offerson a one-for-one basis. Back homewith the offers from abroad thecommittee in the school interviewsinterested students and selects thestudents who wAl go.

ROTC D:erementMay Be Increased

The Air and Military Sciencedepartments have announced thatthey have received their freshmenquotas for the deferment agree-ments. A survey is now being madeof the freshmen class now enrolledin the basic course as to theirintentions of accepting the defer-ment agreement. From this surveythe final selection for defermentagreements will be made.

Any student not enrolled in thebasic course but who contemplatestaking the advanced course shouldsee the branch of their choice notlater than Dec. 3. The offices arelocated in wing E, Building 20. Thefinal selection of names will beposted on the bulletin boards onor about December 15.

The quotas are the same as theywere last year when even thequotas were not filled. If the quotasof 242 for the Aimy and 212 forthe Air Force are filled this yearthere may be a chance of increas-ing the number of agreementsavailable.

Crystas PalaeeExhibit Shown

Here Till Dec. '4The exhibition, The Crystal

Palace, in the lobby of Ibuildingseven is the result of the collabora-tion of the Smith College Museumof Art and MI.T. to review thescene of the Great Exhibition of1,851 in London. The centenaryexhibit shown here until December14 is devoted to one of the greatarchitectural achievements of theVictorian Age in Britain.

The principal feature is a seriesof enlargements of drawings of thepalace, revealing details of its con-struction. Included are pictures ofbuildings by Joseph Paxton,designer of the palace, and of struc-tures that were direct forerunnersof the edifice as well as of laterbuildings related to it. Coloredlithographs of the interior byDickinson and humorous etchingsby Cruickshank also will be shown.

The original Crystal Palace wasbuilt in Hyde Park in 1850-1851 and

On Institute GroundsThere have been three unusually

big explosions on East Campuswdthin the last.week, two of themknown to be dynamite, it was re-ported at the East Campus HouseCommittee meeting last Wednes-day evening. The men respomnsiblefor the blasts apparently boughtthe illegal explosives from a WestCampus resident who smuggled itinto his dormitory room when hereturned from the Thanksgivingholiday.

No damage has resulted fromthese explosions so far, as they havetaken place in the open spacesaround the Hayden unit. The EastCampus committee has ascertainedthose responsible for the two dyna-mite blasts and will probably takesome action. At any rate there willnot be many more explosions be-cause the supply of powder isdwindling.

It was also reported at this meet-ing that the athletic storeroom inWare basement had been brokeninto and that the thieves had stolentwo pingpong paddles and a. boxof balls, leaving behind rather val-uable equipment,

Low=@Cost AmplifierDeveAloped At TechHas High Fidelity

.~ter more than five years' re-search, AMr. Frink M. Young andMr. RIoyer Noble, research assistantsin the acoustical laboratory have

just finished the construction of ahigh quality zamplifier, which will,for the first time, be available atthe very low cost of about $25 com-pared -to the present price of $100.

The main .prdblems were to con-struct at low cost an amplifierwhich will have a small distortion,a reasonable power output and willmake as little noise as possible.Many experiments were made todetermine the power required, thehigh current needed as well as thevoltage.

They constructed a class B amphi-fler capable of handling high cux-rent, having a high efficiency power,and a large amount of feed-back(i.e. the returning of a fraction ofthe output od an electric oscillationto the input. at will have 8 tubesand vill operate on 110-volts A.C.current.

It is hoped that "Lafayette Radio"of New York, will make this ampli-fier available to the public in aboutfour months.

Letters to the EditorAn Open Letter to theUndergraduate Body:

I would like 'to take this oppor-tunity to thank the students ofM.I.T. for their sympathetic at-titude in the recent financial driveof the TC.A. which -took place fromOctober 25th through November2nd. As of this day we are happyto tell you that our goal of $4,500has been reached in cash andpledges. Nleedless to say 10% ofall cash collected will go to theUnited Conmunity Services.

There are two important mes-sages which can ~be conveyed -atthis time. T.C.A. is a student organi-zation started by students, carriedon by students and supported inseveral ways ~by students. Be that

support physical work, financialdonation or written recommendsa-tions, the T.C.A. will endure onlyso long as that support is prevalent.I hope each and every one of youwill realize that we need your sug-gestions and criticisma-indeed,this type of support is your most

valuable contribution to T.C.A.And so, I urge those of you whofeel we are delinquent as a serviceorganization to express your rea-

soned opinions to us.Secondly, I should like to thank

you for the attitude taken towardsthe present blood drive. Our dona-tion sheets are filled to capacityand only so because the Tec'h com-munity has realized the import-

ance of an all-out efort on itspart. The class of '5o and theclass of '51 can tell you -the signi-ficance or better yet, the true valueof one pint of blood. The class of'52 mnay tell you the same story inone more year.

I hope that T.CA. will be as kindto you as you have been generousto T.C.A.

A WORKABLE ADVISORY SYSTEMThis term, for the first time in four years, there is rno

freshmen advisory system. Three different methods of handlingthe problem have been tried in as many years. While a facultyadvisory system for freshmen is a necessity, it is also desirablefor upperclassmen. Plans should be made now for starting aworkable program next fall.

It is important that each freshmen advisor be a professorin the student's designated professional course. Too often inthe past a Food Technologist has had as an advisor a memberof the Mechanical Engineering Department, and a Geologymajor a professor of Mathematics. It is not surprising that thefaculty member did not take too great an interest in the student.

Only those freshmen planning to enter the fields' ofPhysics, Chemistry or Mathematics begin their professionalsubjects during the first year. By coming in contact with aprofessor in his professional course the student will be ableto realize the connection between his Ifirst year subjects andhis future studies. The faculty member would be able to passon valuable information 'about the student to his registrationofficer in case he might have encountered difficulty with hiscourses. The student should be encouraged to keep the sameadvisor during his other three years at the Institute.

A booklet should be prepared and distributed next fallclearly outlining the particular kind of help the student canreceive from his advisor. In the past the various systems haveproved unsuccessful largely ;because the faculty members con-cerned, as well as the students, have not fully realized whattheir role is in the program.

DIRECTED SUMMER READINGMost students find that the only time they have for reading

literature is during the summer vacation. It is then that theyget a chance to read the novels, the plays, the poetry that theydid not have time for during the school year. This period ofmore concentrated reading can be put to greater advantage bythe organization of a number of voluntary reading groups bythe English Department.

These seminars of approximately five to ten people wouldhold a number of meetings near the end of the spring term,with a member of the English Departmert acting as moderator.The students would decide which books they wanted to readduring the summer. Included in the selections might be a recentnovel, a biography, an anthology of poetry. After the par-ticular works had been chosen, the moderator would give ashort discussion of their significance as literature.

On returning to school in the fall the group would meetagain for as many periods as it wished and discuss the booksread with the help of the moderator. This plan would enablethe student to take full advantage of the reading backgroundof the faculty of the English Department, an opportunity hewill not have after leaving college, as well as, to increase hisown enjoyment of literature which comes with group dis-cussion.

HELP WANTEDOn May 3, 1952, the Institute will again open its buildings

and laboratories to the general public. The human side -of lifeat a technical school is to be stressed this year more than ever;and the best way of accomplishing this is to have a large num-ber of enthusiastic workers on the Open House committees.Preliminary planning must start soon. As other activities, OpenHouse offers benefits as well as a chance to serve. Anyonewishing to work on Open House, 1952, may contact the Chair-man through the Technology Christian Association.

.The Institute Cross CountryTeam closed out its most successful·season in seven years November 19by placing sixteenth in a field ofthirty -teams in the I.CA.4A CrossCountry Championships at VanCourtland Park, New York. Forty-one'teams contributed at least oneman to the starting field of 212runners.

Dick Shea, West Point senior, ledthe field for the third straight year,covering the course in 24 minutes,55.1 seconds, but; his unbeaten Armyteammates were upset by Penn St.,the defending champions, whomthey had soundly beaten in a dualmeet a month ago. The NittanyLions, led by Freshman LamentSmith and Senior Bill Ashenfelter,placed five men in the top 22 run-ners -to nip Army by a 67-68 tally.

Micholson Leads BeaversDue to the misplacement of about

a dozen runners in the official list-ing, John -Farquhar was listed as

the first Tech runner home, taking62nd and followed by Chuck Vick-ers in 63rd. Actually, Bill Nichol-son of the Beaver Harriers toppedboth these men to finish in the topsixty, but'the official listing placedNicholson 88th. The other fourTech runners were closely bunched,with Jerry Ti.emann, 127; ClydeBaker, 138; John Avery, 142; andIan Williams, 148; finishing in or-der. The Beaver squad finishedwith a 456 total.

As usual all the New Englandteams finished well down in thescoring, with Rhode Island State11th, Boston University's New Eng-land Champions, 14th, and Provi-dence College 15th, the only teamsto top the Engineer runners. Only12 points separated Oscar Hed-lund's runners from B. U., and R. I.St. was only twenty points up onB. U.

Chief causes for the poor New Eng-land showing were the five mile dis-

With the official start of theBeaver's 1952 basketball .campaigna day away, no word has come con-cerning the starting line-up to beused against Harvard Universitythis Saturday. In all probability,Mike Nacy, captain, and HankHohorst, last year's ace reboundman and a real terror under theboards, as well as Bob Garthe andTony Van Allystyne, all mainstaysof last season's squad will start inthe opener.

Two promising Sophomores, AlSchultz and Bernie Gittleman (upfrom last year's freshman squad)will ,probably be playing varsityball.

A double blow was given to thesquad with the loss of Herb Glantzand "Mandy" Manderson. HerbGlantz was high scorer during the'50 and '51 seasons. Manderson isnot eligible because of the ruling

forbidding an athlete to play morethan four years of intercollegiateball.

The Technien are expecting a bitof ,trouble at Harvard togmorrowfrom 6 feet 5-inch Dick Lionnettewho scored 24 points against M.I.T.last year as pivot man for theCrimson.

f last year's record is any in-dication of things to come, theBeavers shouldn't fare too badlythis season. Last year's win columnincludes a surprising upset of Bos-ton University by one point in thelast minute of the game, and a de-feat of Trinity College on theirhome court.

This being Ed Leeds first gameas coach for the Cardinal and Grey,our best wishes of The Tech areextended for a successful season.

Yale Wins Frosh CrownIn the freshman race the Beav-

ers' two entries, Marty Gilvar andCharlie Lory, both turned in excel-lent races on a strange course, fin-ishing 31st and 48th respectively.Bob Stevens of Yale came in firstin the yearling race to lead hissquad to a 71-75 victory over Dart-mouth.

The Varsity race marked thefinal competition for three of thelocal Harriers, Chuck Vickers andBill Nicholson, who led the Beaverrunners for three years, and ClydeBaker, transfer from William andMary. Nicholson has been a stand-out for three years and lost onlyone dual meet race in the lasttwo years. In 1950 he captainedthe Teahmen and finished fifth inthe New Encgland Championshiprace.

Vickers who captained the localsthis year came along more slowlyand did not hit his peak Until thisyear's New England race when hefinished second. Baker proved avaluable addition to the squideven though he never did over-come the handicap of a year of in-activity to regain the form heshowed at Will:im and Mary.

In spite of the loss of these threethe Harriers retain a good nucleusfor next year, headed by Jerry Tie-mann, John Ftaruhar, John Avery,and Ian Williams.
