In addition to the request for thereferendum, the petition asks theJudicial Committee to refrain 'romenforcing the ban. on off-campus haz-ing until the action of the InstituteCommittee has been reviewed by thestudent body. The request, holever,is not binding on the Judicial CoL-mittee. Since the Teferendum couldprobably not be held until after FieldDay, any acceptance to this requestby Judicial Committee would in effectnullify the Tnstitute Committee actionin so far as this -year's Freshmnan-1Sophomore rivalry is concerned.

the M.I.T. Ru-by Club in a game onBriggs Field, Saturday afternoon. Itwas a hard clear fou-ht gam-e whichended with the Techien ahead, 14-6.The half time scole Nvas 3-3. The finalscore is not' truly representative ofthe gamne because the score was stilltied 6-6 in the middle of ithe final half.Before Tecl broke the gTame open,John G;am and George Chippendalebroke through the New Yorkers' de-fense and Weir Goodwin made thescore. Last year's captain Tom Hoff-man made the kick good for an extratwo points. The final tally was madeby Captain Chuck Johnstone, butHoffman's kick was wide.

The game was very close foughtduring the first half, the two scorescoming on penalty field goals. Thegame was exceptional in the largeI number of penalty kicks. The TechIteam was penalized most of-ten duringthe afternoon. This is most likely dueto the technical inexperience of thelrech players since the newvconlershave only been playing the game fora few weeks.

Tech definitely had the heavierscum but New York normally tookthe ball away from them, due- tosuperior play.

The Tech forwards looked good witethe return of five experienced andskilled men, Joe Walsh, Tom Hoffman,"Moose" Walq-uist, Phil Perry andCaptain "Chuck" Johnson. The for-wards have been strengthened wviththe addition of some new players,Larry McGovern, Ted Maziana, arndChuck Henry.

In order to stimulate interest in intramural sports and to recognizeoutstanding achievement in these spol'ts, this column would like to suggestthe possibility of an intramural all-star game. This game wvould pit the intra-mural chamlifons against an intramural all-star team, or perhaps a Techteam against a team from Harvard or Boston University.

To facilitate the choosing of this proposed all-star team, mote completerecords of the games should be kept,-well as a team basis. At present vir-tually no records, outside of somehouse records, are being kept. Cer-tainly there is no place one can learn-who, the league's leading scol er is.The job of keeping and tabulating thevarious scoring records is a job thatcan easily be handled by one man onthe Athletic Association, Beaver Key,of Tbe Tech, if he only gets a littlecooperation from the various teams.

This column would also like to sug-gest a way of picking the all-starteam. Each league champion would be

including scoring on an individual as

allowed to suggest four members ofits team, the runner-ups three, thesemi-finalists two, and the remainingteams one man each. This would pI'o-vide a list of some fifty outstandingplayers. From this list the final teamwould be chosen by a committee cona-sisting of the athletic chairmen ofthe various dorms and fraternities.

Selection of the all-star tean wouldbe recognition for the numerous goodathletes who participated on losing

ROBERTO ROSSELINi'S POSTWAR MASTERPtECE

A college student decided to add several new shirts to Mwardrobe. So one Saturday afterncon, he strolled imto thelocal haberdashery store. "Let me see a few of those VanH3!eusen Pan-Am Pique Shirts the whole campus is ravingabout," he said.

'"No wonder everyone is raving about Pan-Am Piqueantsaid the clerk, laying several on the counter. "They're smaMcomfortable, and come in Van Heusen's sensational newshortcollar styles. Whats more, I have a complete line of smartnew collegiate coloys-as well as white. Ad thy'.re only$3.gs,'

"I've never seen a smarter shirt," admitted the student,111 "take one in each color. And can I open a charge account?'b

"Certainly," replied the lerk. "WNat is your name?"'Size Six-and-Seven-Eighths Jones," replied the studles

'Size Six-and-Seven-Eighths Jones? What kind of a namis that?", asked the puvzed clerk.

teams. It would also create a greatdeal more interest in the intramuralsports about the Institute.

Up to now, the Class of '56 hasshown very little spirit concerningField Day football. Usually less thana dozen men repolrt to daily workouts.This is certainly not enough to holda good practice. At least thirty uni-forms have been issued but appar-ently the boys are waiting for a fewdays before Field Day to coime out.By that time it will be too late toget the squad well coordinated. TaborAcademy visits Tech this comingSaturday for a game with the Sophs,and' if '56 expects to win, they mustha7ve enough manpower and practiceto become thoroughly organized.

It is a shame that out of approxi-mately eight hundred sophomores, in-cluding many high-school lettermen,there are not enough men for a good-sized squad. Now is the time for yousophs to come out for 'Lthe team ifthe Frosh are to be beaten on FieldDay. It is up to the class of '56 toavenge last year's defeat. It wouldbe very sad indeed if '56 were to losetwice in succession. After all this willprobably be the last time the membersof '56 will have an opportunity to playorganized football.

stand, why we have a parking problem at theInstitute.

Our student bod.y is larger this year than itwas last, even though the freshman class issomewhat smaller. All told we have 5,190 stu-dents compared to 5,074 a year ago. Interest-ingly enough the sophomore class is sub-stantially larger than we expected in partbecause of transfers, anrd the number of gradu-ate students has gone up.

.Severa! modifications in our program makethis year an auspicious one. One is the in-auguration of our new Freshman Curriculum.The required number of contact hours hasbeen reduced and a system of electives intro-duced. The freshmen have distributed themrn-selves over these electives with commendablegood judgment.

Another feature marking this year is the fullieve!opm;ent of our freshman counseling sys-

Item involving both faculty and upperclassmen.Thii counseling program has brought facultyand students together to an extent greaterthan anything I have experienced in my career

Iat the Institute.Other important improvements in our cam-

ptUls in the coming monthsl x ill include abeginning on the landscapinu of the EactCourt. the court fornied by the Library, theI)orrance Building, and the Eastman l abora-tories. It is expected that the Lincoln Lab-oratorsy -will be fully housed out in I exingto'nby the end of this academic vear and thatthis -will permit us to tear down Building 22.Dloubts are expressed that the Institute wilIever tear down any temporary building, butI can assure you that it is our pIresent grimdetermination that Bulilding 22 he torn donrinext summer. This will bring a tear to theeve of many a recent aluninus and sonice ofour present students who started their MI.I.T.careers in the barracks which once fill-ed th;ielegant specimen of advanced W\orll W'ar IIarc1it ectutre.

Tiis is to be a year of important imeetingsait the Institutte. N c-t week for example wewill have a dozen officers and professors fromthe California Institute of Technology spend-ing five (lays with us learning how M.I.T.condulcts an institute of technology. This is areturn call since a group of lM.I.T represen-tatives had a very profitable session ,t Pasa-lerna last spring learning how to conduct aninstitute of technology.

Still another important meeting which conieslater thiq month is a variation of our Awell-known Andover conferences. This time theconference will be made un of ,q representativegroup of students selected by student govern-ient, together with members of the facultyand administration. This group will spend aweek end at the Andover Inn discussing waysof further developing our student-faculty rela-tionships and imnproving our community life.During the year, the faculty will be continu-ing its intensive review of our undergraduateprogram, and one of the proposals it hasscheduled for discussion is the so-called CourseXXI programn. Course XXI, as it has beenproposed, would be a curriculum in whichabout half of the awork would be in thehumanities and social sciences and the otherhalf in engineering.. These are just a few of the things that you

will be hearing about in the mdnths ahead."

with cobblestoned alleys that servedas streets. These alleys, dark andsinister, with hardly any lighting,roamed aimlessly in distorted paths,a feature of every Italian city. Some-one realized the uselessness of ,suchstreets and flooded them with waterto create the city now known as Ven-ice. This scheme I endorse for allcities abundant in alleyways, espe-cially Boston.

It was while wandering throughthese alleys, the night we landed inGenoa, that I met one of the seamenfrom the ship. We hailed each otherlike two old friends, although we hadhardly spoken at sea. Our only bondwas our strangeness in this foreignland. Together we explored dimly litpaths and still darker porticoes andpatios. We were getting tired.

A tentative schedule of fouiteengames has been set up with the cur-tain raiser set for December 5. Suchperennial powerhouses in New Eng-land Basketball as Trinity, Bowdoin,New Hampshire and Boston Univer-sity, will provide stumbling blocks forthe Engineers to hurdle.,

A pre-season rally has been sched-uled for October 22 at 5:15 p.m. atWalker Memorial Gymnasium. CoachWhitelaw heartily invites all inter-ested undergradA to attend the rallyand tryouts.

We still had in our minds picturesof those sweaters, shorts, etc., untilwe realized that walking beside uswas a member of the female sex. Sheappeared to me to be about forty-fiveyears old, and had all the bulges ofapproaching age. My companion wasengaged in some conversation withher that was beyond my comprehen-sion. Evidently they had some lan-guage in common, because they wereboth gesticulating in a mysteriousmanner. Her gestures gained the up-per hand, because we found ourselvesfollowing her across a tiled patio intoa marble-entranced building. I pro-ceeded with them up the stairs untilshe turned around, patted me on myshoulder, and gestured to me to waitat the entrance. As I heard their stepsascend, I turned around to examinethe place. Directly across the alley was another building with a similarentrance. Seated on the steps weretwo Italian women, staring at me. I

quivered, and returned their gazehaving no other alternative. In desperation I attempted to light a cigarette, but a wind sprang up fronbehind and blew out the match.struck another with the same xesulzMy fingers were trembling, and th-cigarette vibrated in my unsteadclips. I gave up.

Another tap on my shoulder relieved the tension. In Italian, whichsomehow vaguely seemed to understand, a voice asked me if I was waiting for a friend. I croaked out -th

affirmative, and followed the voice urthe stairs.

As I entered the room, I had tcbend, for the ceiling seemed to b-very low. My friend was sitting on acouch caressing the woman we hacmet. She rose when I entered ancsmiled. At that instant I loathed he:splashy red makeup and ugly figureShe beckoned again, and the doorclosed behind me.
