An invitation has been extendedfor several upperclassmen from theInstitute to accompany an expedi-tion to the Arctic this summer toassist weather station resupply ac-tivities. Any students who may beinterested in this opportunityshould consult Prof. T. F. Malone,24-603. Principal points to be vis-ited are Thule, Greenland and Res-olute Bay, Cornwallis Island, North-west Territories, Canada.

The expedition will leave BostonJuly 15 and return approximatelySeptember 25. The primary dutiesof the students selected will be tocheck supplies delivered ashorefrom a U. S. Cargo vessel to jointCanadian-U. S. Weather Stationoutposts and to participate In thearrangement of storage depots.

Remote RegionsStudents who accompany the ex-

Pedition will have an opportunityto observe very important andUnique scientifice work in. remote

and fascinating parts of the world:a broadening experience which theyprobably could not otherwise ac-quire except at large personal ex-pense. A token wage of $1.00 a dayand living expenses will be paid toparticipating students.

Students with some knowledge inone or more of the following cate-gories are preferred: meteorology,mechanical equipment, radio equip-ment, inventory procedures, car-pentry and rough construction. Atotal of ten American students andten Canadian students will be se-lected for the trip.

MJ.T Arctic VeteransTwo students from the Institute,

Alan Faller, '50, and Paul Ostegaard,'49, accompanied a similar expedi-tion last summer and Faller has ac-cepted a one year assignment toreturn to the Arctic to assist in aprogram of upper - atmosphereweather observations..

Sophomores will listen to hispiano and dance to his orchestra in the Oval Room of the Copley Plazaduring the first night of the Sophomore Prom. The pretty girl in thepicture on the left is Nancy Reed, who is Henderson's featured singer.

The Sophomore Prom Committeehas announced that arrangementshave been made whereby reserva-tions for any Tech man will beavailable at the Oval Room at theCopley Plaza for Thursday and Fri-day nighks, April 14 and 15, with nocover and no minimum charges.

Cooperative OptionTen Men In First GroupBegin Industrial TrainingTwenty aeronautical engineering

students a year will receive indus-trial training along with their four-year course as a result of course six-teen's new option "B." On July 25,1949, about ten men will start a sixmonths' stay at various large aero-nautical plants where they willwork as research assistants for ap-proximately $200 per month.

Although the student will begiven ample opportunity to exploreseveral phases of aeronautical en-gineering, the scope of his work willbe confined so that he will get morebenefit from the experience.

Helpful In CareerThis cooperative course is de-

signed to develop in the student anappreciation of professional engi-neering. It is also possible that inmany cases his visit with industrywill determine the particularbranch in which he will specialize.

The men in each class of sixteenB will be evenly divided into twogroups. The first will start in Julyand the second in February; theterm's work which the students willmiss will be made up in summersessions.

From the class of 1951 there willbe a total of nineteen students tak-ing this option. Five men will goto United Aircraft Corp., East Hart-ford, Conn.; four men to theChance-Vought Aircraft Division ofthe United Aircraft Corp., Dallas,Texas; three men to the FairchildEngine Corp., Farmingdale, L. I.,N. Y.; three men to the FairchildAirplane Corp., Hagerstown, Md.;and four men will be distributedamong the Langley Memorial Aero.Lab., Langley Field, Va., the AmeseAero Lab., Moffett Field, Calif., andthe Ames Aero. Lab., Cleveland,Ohio, and the National AdvisoryCommittee for Aeronautics.

The floor show will feature Giselland Francois Szonyi, dancers, intheir first Boston appearance, andCharlie Carts, magician. Reserva-tions may be made by contactingGerry Burns, '51, Box 507, Build-ing 22.

Gerry Burns, Soph Prom Chair-man, announced that the date onwhich table reservations for thefirst night, Friday, May 6, will beannounced in The Tech. The firstnight will be held at the CopleyPlaza and will be called the "Star-dust Ball."

Swing'n Doors"Swing'n Doors" is the official

title of the second night of theSoph Prom. There will be dancingin Morss Hall to the music of theTechtonians, square dancing in thegym, game rooms in the lounges,and a bar in the 5:15 Club Room.Beer will also be served to the tablesin Morss Hall.

The management of the CopleyPlaza has announced that couples

William H. Shenkle, '51, Incharge of setting up the SophProm's "gambling den," has an-nounced that roullette wheels,card and dice games are neededfor use in the Saturday nightfestivities connected with theProm on May 7. Anyone whohas access to these or similargames of chance and is willingto loan them to the Prom Com-mittee for that night is urgedto contact Robert Veo, '51, Co6-9364.

attending the Soph Prom will beadmitted to the 11:30 show, whichfeatures Burl Ives, with no coveror minimum charges, providingthat all the tables are not reserved.Reservations will not be madewithout cover or minimum charges.

Publicity for the Prom has beenexceptionally spectacular. Onestunt which attracted much atten-tion was a booth handled by theSophomore co-eds, who offered akiss with every option bought. Sev-eral times, but not always, it wasnoticed that the girls gave outcandy kisses, instead of the ex-pected reward.

Admitted MarxistDefends Ideas,Lauds Constitution

In response to the strong accusa-tions made against him by Dr. Jo-seph B. Matthews before the Massa-chusetts State Senate and HerbertA. Philbrick in Federal Court inNew York City, Prof. Dirk Struikreleased the following statement tkThe Tech in denial of the charges.

"I am a Marxist. In the firstplace I try to be a Marxian scholar.I have contributed several articlesexplaining the aspects of dialecticalmaterialism.

Duties As a Citizen"I also believe that a Marxist has

certain constructive duties as a ci-tizen, for which he has to work,within the ample limits set by theUnited States Constitution. There-fore, I have constantly worked to-ward a peace based on understand-ing between the United States andthe U.S.S.R., defense of civil rights,and have fought against all formsof racial prejudice. These activitiesare often called communist in orderto create prejudice.,

"I have addressed many publicmeetings and private groups onthese subjects, and I have lecturedon philosophy of science and math-ematics at the Jefferson School inNew York and the Samuel AdamsSchool in Boston. The. JeffersonSchool is a center of adult educationin the best American tradition,stressing the responsibilities of citi-zenship. It is independent of thecommunist party and is in no sense,as is claimed, a communist trainingschool.

Denies Preaching Revolution"It is claimed, that at some dis-

cussion groups in Cambridge I haveadvocated the overthrow of thegovernment of the United States.This is entirely untrue as I believein the Constitution of The UnitedStates and endeavor to make itwork in the same way that theframers of the Constitution in-tended.

"The nature of the attack madeon me is a symptom of very danger-ous forces in American life, which,if allowed ,to go unchecked, willlead us to the same condition thatGermany was brought to underHitler.

Persecution for Ideas"It Is time that a larger number

of responsible Americans becomeaware of the very dangerous tend-encies, and the trial in which thedefendant is not accused of overtacts, but of propagation of ideas.The situation is comparable to the'monkey trials' in Tennessee, but

OUR DANGEROUS PROFESSOR STRUIKFor those of you who do not read the newspapers or listen

to the radio newcasts, we will review the facts as reported lastweek. At the trial of eleven high-ranking members of theAmerican Communist Party, the government prosecutor is try-ing to prove that the defendents advocate forcible overthrowof the United States government. They hope thereby to makea case for outlawing of the Communist Party in general. Thusfar, the prosecution has called a number of witnesses to sup-port its thesis, including Louis Budenz, former editor of theDaily Worker, and more recently a Boston advertising mannamed Herbert A. Philbrick who acted as a volunteer under-cover agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation while heheld membership in an allegedly secret, elite group of theCommunist Party. It was this Mr. Philbrick and a John B.Matthews who accused Professor Dirk Jan Struik of the In-sfitute's Mathematics Department.

Specifically, the court was told that Professor Struik ad-vocated the overthrow of the government during a lecture hegave to a communist training group in a private home in Cam-bridge. This is denied by the Professor, and a statement byhim is carried elsewhere in this issue of The Tech. Followingthe appearance of the accusation in the Boston press, with theirusual extravagant headline sizes, President James R. Killianindicated to reporters that the matter was one of personalpolitical conviction and that the Institute would do nothingabout the affair.

Struik has been pretty open about voicing his convictionsin the past. Some two years ago, under the sponsorship ;ofthe Lecture Series Committee and other groups, he gave twolectures at Technology urging a conciliatory attitude towardthe Soviet Union and explaining some of the actions of thatgovernment which were rather unpopular among the Westernpowers. ' His lectures here recently have been confined to math-ematics. There is little doubt that the Professor is not whata conservative business man would call a good American, butthere have been no overt disloyal acts; and whether he is verywise or very foolish, his opinions appear to be arrived at withintellectual honesty.

On the other hand, Struik has kept his political views outof his 'classroom. There is little room for social and, economicdiscussions in a mathematics class and he has not been knownto inject any. Most 'of his students find that he is an unusuallygood teacher, often inserting sidelights on the historical de-velopment of the subject into an otherwise purely mathematicaldiscourse. Dr. Killian is perfectly right, we believe, in retain-ing Professor Struik unconditionally; it would be manifestlyunjust to both the teacher and the students for the administra-tion to take any action against a teacher who has been doinga good job. If Struik is actually engaged in any illegal activi-ties, and there is no reason to believe at this time that he is, itis clearly up to the courts, not the Institute, to take action.

GET OUT AND VOTEIn April of 1947 a candidate for the Presidency of the

Senior Class lost the election by twelve votes. Once during thelast decade a school election was tied. Because of its monopolyposition, The Tech has never supported any candidate, but wedo urge you to vote; in the relatively small electoral body yourballot may count a good deal.

As we see it, there aren't any burning issues at stake.There are signs of the usual living group rivalries among someof the classes' candidates. This is too bad. In the next fewweeks, we'll look into-this matter in a series of editorials onthe fraternity-dormitory conflict.

Letters to the Editor_8_35~2~i~i·3~2,

Dear Sir:GLASS HOUSE

The first principle of good journ-alism is to check the facts beforeyou throw your weight around. Onthe other hand, inflammatoryopinions unsupported by the evi-dence -are the earmarks of theirresponsible newspaper. I don'tbelieve that The Tech cares tobelong to the latter class, yet itseditorial of March 25th on the Stu-dent-Faculty Forum on teachingplaces it -there. Consider the follow-ing paragraph:

One question posed by a member of theaudience was why more department headsweren't represented at this forum. Thereply given -was that "this forum was forthe students, and that no faculty memberwas under any obligation to come." How,may we ask, may changes be broughtabout unless the party empowered withthe authority to make these changes knowsthat they are needed? Were these peopleafraid of listening to to their shortcomingsbrought before them?

This in effect, says to the stu-dent body that very few depart-ment heads attended this importantmeeting. The ill-effects of thisstatement are directly the responsi-bility of The Tech. The Student-Faculty Committee has been mak-ing a strong effort to promotegood-will in student-faculty rela-,tions by promoting honest discus-sions of common problems. One ofthe great' difficulties it encountersis the strong resistance of the stu-dent to recognizing the simple truththat the faculty is genuinely in-terested in his welfare and hisproblems. Responsible sources ofstudent opinion should certainly bevery careful of their facts beforethey hurl accusations which tendto support this false student view-point.

Here are the facts. There are 18heads of professional courses, and4 heads of teaching service depart-ments. Of these 22 men, 14 werepresent, 2 were represented by lead-ing members of their staffs in-structed to report to them, one wasattending a seminar, one was outof 'town, 4 were not present forvarious good reasons. Of the last 6,5 represent courses whose totalundergraduate enrollment, exclu-sive of freshmen, is 203. The otherrepresents a small service depart-ment. All the heads of departmentsgiving freshman courses werepresent. There are 3502 under-graduates, thus more than 94% ofall undergraduates were repre-sented by their department head.Knowing the heavy duties of thesemen, it seems to me that this isvery strong confirmation of the factthat department heads are gen-uinely interested in student wel-fare. Incidentally, of an audienceof about 400 very nearly dne-halfwere from the faculty. Now let'sreread the questions The Techasked without itself going to thetrouble to check the facts.

How, may we ask, may changes bebrought about unless the party empoweredwith authority to make these changesknows that they are needed? Were thesepeople afraid of listening to their short-comings brought before them?

I submit that careless, irres-ponsible destruction of communitymorale is just as reprehensible aswilful destruction. ~I hereby awardThe Tech first prize for doing themost to damage understanding andgood will between students andfaculty. The prize is a small modelof a glass house. The next timeThe Tech chooses to talk aboutstudent-faculty relations, may theylook at it long and carefully.JOHN T. RULE, Faculty-ChairmanStudent-Faculty Committee

Undoubtedly there is a just causefor complaint by Professor Rulein this matter. The fact stands thatthe majority of department headswere present, and, as stated in theEditorial, the faculty was muchbetter represented than the stu-dents. During the forum, a studentasked the question quoted in theabove letter. It was never answereddirectly and the nearest it evergot to being answered was whenone faculty member arose andcalled for a count of departmentheads present. Unfortunately thiscount was never taken, and thesubstitute answer given was, 6'.. othis forum was for the students. . . " and the faculty was underno obligation to come. Thisprompted the thought in the mindsof many students that the Issue

After a year on Broadway and alengthy tour over this continent,Medea opened in Boston lastnight. It seems almost a miraclethat a Greek play should surviveBroadway, that alley which hasslaughtered mnore art than it hascreated.

This magnificent survival overthe customs of the modern theater;the customs for which only we areto blame, is due primarily to thesuperlative performance of JudithAnderson in the role of Medea. Ican still remember that from themoment that she entered, we wereall bound under the intensity andfervor of her performance. Yetit is not a pleasing play. It is abrutally vile study of the mad' jeal-ousy of a woman; the plot is bareof frivolity, for there are no relaxingsubplots to deter the theme; themood is set at the very opening anddrives relentlessly on unto the bru-tal end.

What is the purpose of the thea-ter? We have slowly been forcedto believe that it is amusement andrelaxation, just as music is supposedto be a tonic to soothe the nerves.If you go to the theater to sit backcomfortably waiting for the curtainto go up so that you may be mademerry, don't go and see Medea, foryou will hate it. But if you wantto hear noble poetry, see great act-ing, be made to understand throughthe fusion of these two, humanspirit, and emotion, you will findMedea an exhilarating play.

Tomorrow night, up at Harvard,Monty Woolley will again be "theman who came to dinner." I some-times .wonder what Mr. Woolley didbefore this play was written for Ido not remember any more. Mr.Woolley is still probably flawless andunchanged in his performance of

a much more dangerous sign ofincipient Fascism."

The Fascism which -Prof. Struikfears is--"The open violent dicta-torship of big monopolies, based onrace prejudice and intimidation ofthe people."

During the interview, Prof. Struikwas interrupted by a call from hisdaughter. She said, according toProfessor StrXik, "Daddy, if thosethings they are saying about youaxe true, I will never speak to youagain." Commenting. He said, "Ifthey were true I wouldn't blameher."

No Orders from MoscowAsked about the orders which

originate in Moscow to American-ommnunists, he stated that he is a

free-thinker and is not ordered byanybody, nor does he believe thatMoscow dictated American-com-nunist policy.

The general accusation, takenfrom the Communist Manifestothat Marxists are motivated by thedea that, "the ends justify themeans," was denied by Strulk.Violent overthrow of the govern-nent of the United States is not

a part of Marxist philosophy. TheMarxist is alarmed by the extentof power usurped by the big corpo-rations and works to eliminate theircontrol and place it back with thepeople. Government control of thelarge corporations is advocated asis a socialistic type economy. Theseends are achievable under the exist-ing Constitution and the Marxistworks toward these ends withinthe limits of the law."

Marxian Intellectual Power

Introduced to Marxism in 1914in Holland, his faith in the doctrineresulted from the "intellectualpower" of the Marxists and theiraccurate predictions of the firstworld war.

A naturalized citizen, he says thathe respects the oath to uphold theConstitution and defend the gov-ernment of the United Statesagainst all attackers. He calls theaccusations made against him"silly," but he expresses seriousconcern about the nature and spiritbehind the charges. "This," hesays, "is the price one must pay tohold a philosophy which is unpopu-lar in the eyes of reactionary ele-ments in the country."

Lea And MIaddenScore 2 Apiece

Playing their first game of theseason last Saturday afternoon ona very poor field, Tech's lacrosseteam was beaten 12-7 by SpringfieldCollege in a game that was closerthan the score would indicate. Twoformer hockey players were theleading sharpshooters for Tech asDon Lea and Ted Madden eachscored twice to pace the Engineeroffense.

First Period CloseDuring the first period, play was

fairly even with Springfield scoringthree goals and Tech two. The firsttwo Springfield goals were scoredwithin twenty-nine seconds of eachother to give the Maroons the jumpin this period. In the second period,

however, Springfieid pulled away,,blazing five shots home while onlyBoyden and Lea scored for Tech.At the half Springfield held a com-manding lead of 8-4.

In the second half, Tech seemedto pick up steam as the generalquality of play improved a greatdeal. Madden, Hamilton and Leascored for Tech in the third periodto match three Springfield goals.During the last period, only oneshot found the net and that wasscored by Springfield in the dyingminutes of the period.

Lack Outdoor PracticeConsidering the fact that the

Beavers had had only five days ofgood outdoor practice before thegame, Ben iMartin's men did apretty good job in their initial en-counter. Martin used almost all ofhis squad in an effort to give theboys, particularly the sophomores,a chance to play under game con-ditions. The game served as a goodwarm-up for the team and theyshould do well from here on inagainst the other New Englandcolleges.

Taech Rife TeamTake Second, ThirdIn Eatern FinasLast Saturday in their final

match of the year at New London,Conn., the Engineer riflemen failedto meet their expected performanceas they took second and third placesin the Eastern Intercollegiates. Thefirst.and second squads scored only1348 and 1329 respectively, andthese scores are not expected torank very high nationally.

The sub-normal scores can be ex-plained only by considering thatTech's squads were composed offive men whereas most schools usethe best five scores of a ten manteam. This was the first time thatthe Beavers failed to stand upunder pressure.

In the individual matches, theEngineers fared somewhat better,with seven men shooting scoresbetter than 270. Robbie Robertsonled the Beavers with a 279 whichgave him 4th place in the individ-uals, while Herb Voelcker was sec-ond for Tech with 278. Gracy ofCoast Guard, Ring of the U. ofMass., and Soreng of Coast Guard,held high honors with scores of284, 282, and 280 respectively.

Gaining their third triumph inas many starts, the Tech sailerswon a Pentagonal regatta held lastSunday morning at Tufts. The En-gineers won the first race of theday and were never headed there-after, ,finishing with a toal of 51points. Northeastern was secondwith 441/2 points, followed by Tufts,Williams and B.U. in that order.

Danny (reenbaum and JohnLawson finished behind a North-eastern skipper to take second placein the B -division. Ray Brown of theEngineers was high in Division A.

Here's a chance for The Techreaders to shine up their crystalballs and join the throng of base-ball rooters who think they knowthe outcome of thi year's pennantraces. Will it be the Braves againor will the Dodgers or Pirates stealthe National League flag this year?Will Joe McCarthy ride his Red Soxhome to a title or will Lou Bou-dreau's boys successfully defendtheir championship?

Beginning with this issue andcontinuing for the next four issues,a contest open to everyone exceptstaff members of The Tech, will beoffered with the following simplerules:

1. Clip out the official entry blankand fill in the standings as youthink they will be at the close of theseason.

2. First prize will be a WorldSeries ticket to a World Series gameheld in Boston. If neither Bostonteam wins a- substitute prize willbe awarded.

Lack of hitting practice and ofpitching depth seem to be theBeavers' main faults at this point.Enthusiasm is their greatest asset.Coach Warren Berg expects thatTech opponents will field teams ofgreater strength -thabn -te Beavers,but that "We hope to get E foreffort, and will strive for respectablegames." -

Last week the Cardinal and Greyfaced Tufts in a practice encounterthat ended with the Jumbos infront, 8-4. The contest was tied at4 apiece after the first seven frameswith ragged Tech pitching account-ing for the final outcome. .

Tomorrow's foray against Wes-leyan will find the Beavers to beof little known caliber. The Middle-towners, on the other hand, took adouble-header from American In-ternational College last week, 6-5and 21-8; so they will probably betough.

Parked Cars CauseGrad House Danger

M .. T. Safety CouncilOutlines Fire Hazard

According to the MI.T. SafetyCouncil, a fire hazard is beingcaused by continued misuse of Am-herst Street parking space at therear of the Graduate House. Carswhich are parked several deep herein an area which is an acceptedstreet would, in case of a fire, seri-ously hamper fire departmentmovements.

Cars thus illegally parked havebeen repeatedly tagged by theSafety Council and by police. Thecouncil has announced that unlessthe situation improves immediatelyit will be necessary for the policeto have illegally parked cars towedaway at the owners' expense.

According to Professor E. B.Schwarz, the violators are in almostevery case persons who come latefor class and simply leave theircars parked as many as four deep.A substantial number are from outof state and this fact makes en-forcement by tagging difficult.

I Letters to the Editor(Continued from Page 2)

their utmost to improve these rela-ions with positive actions ratherthan idealized promises or criticalsurveys.

UNUASED ATITUDE

Your editorial of March 15 on tileStudent-Faculty Forum leads me tobelieve that the school has consid-erable interest in its Student-Faculty relations. The Tech, how-ever, as a journalistic speaker tothe Student body, seems to havemissed the point of the Forum.

The Student-Faculty Committeeis a committee composed of -bothStudents and Faculty whosepurpose is to patch rents In theStudent-Faculty relations and'topropose changes in method, sys-tem, and purpose of life here atTech in order to create the bestconditions for learning and livingat the Institute.

The Committee arranged theStudent-Faculty Forum for threereasons:

1. To give the Students a placeto present their ideas as to

how the quality of instruction-at MI.T. might be improved.

2. to give the Faculty the oppor-tunity of learning Student'views first hand as well aspresenting their own ideas.

3. To provide a place. where ques-tions concerning teaching andteachers might be answered.

Your editorial suggests that thefirst step in Student-Faculty rela-ticms be taken by the Faculty. Whyshouldn't the Students take thatfirst step or at least take a simul-taneous step with the Faculty? Itis said that many students areafraid of "apple polishing." Con-structive thought will never be con-sidered "apple polishing" at anylevel.

We feel that the first Student-Faculty Forum was successful.Another Iorum is 'being planned inthe future. It is hoped that at thenext Forum a more unbiased atti-tude will prevail; that more maturequestions will be directed to thepanel; and that a greater interestby the student body be shown.
