FraternityPresidents, DeanFasset,IFC Chairman Discuss Hell Weeks

The presidents of the twenty fra-ternity houses on campus met inclosed session Sunday afternoon to-gether with IFC Chairman GeorgeLuhrman and Associate Dean of Stu-dents Frederick Fassett to discusspo:!Isible dangerous effects of infor-.mal fraternity-initiation proceedings.The discussion, brought about by thetragic case of the late Tom Clark,lasted for three hours and involvedfrank disclosures of general "hell.-week" methods used by the variousfraternities. The comprehensive dis-closures, heretofore held secret forthe most part, were made in orderto facilitate a rapid decision by theInter-Fraternity Council as to wheth-er or not any restrictions should beplaced on fraternity hazing.

The house president discussed spe-

cifically those points of hell weekwhere physical or emotional break-downs were involved. The main issuebrought up was the philosophy be-hind and the danger involved in ridesoff campus. Ranked by the presidentsas the underlying reason behind mostof the danger involved in informalinitiation proceedings was the ex-treme lack of sleep entailed by theseproceedings and the diminished pow-ers of judgment which result. An-other point mentioned as being pos-sibly made dangerous by lack of sleepwas emotional stress brought on bycertain methods used in some hellweeks. Chairman Luhrman broughtout the problem as being "where theline is to be drawn between excessiveand non-excessive emotional stress, inthat the excessive stress leads to abreakdown in judgment as exhibitedby the Clark case."

It was also brought out in the meet-ing that all but two of the fraterni-ties on campus have their pledges dowork .within the house during sparetime, while eight augment this pro-gram with strictly supervised workoutside of the house in the field of so-cial welfare. Most of the fraternities,including DKE, are at present mak-ing investigations into the philosophybehind hell week within their ownhouses.

The presidents will meet again nextSunday following an IFC ExecutiveCommittee meeting this weik, and itis likely that a definite decision onoff campus hazing will be reached innext week's IFC meeting.

Dramashop PresentsThree One-Act Plays

FolloNwing the success of its Octo-ber "Evening of One-Act Plays",I)ramashop will present the second ofthese free programs this Friday, Feb-ruary 24, in the Little Theatre of theKresge Auditorium. The "Evenings"consist of two student-directed andproduced one-act plays followed byan audience-part:cipation critique andrefreshments.

This Friday's productions will beNoel Coward's "Fumed Oak", direct-ed by David Lukens '56, and IrwinShaw's "The Shy and Lonely", di-rected by Michael Hall '57. The castswere chosen February 7 and 8, andinclude students from Emerson, Wel-lesley, and MIT.

The curtain is at 8::3)0 p.m.

The search for missing Delta Kap-pa Epsilon Fraternity pledge ThomasLynn Clark came to a tragic endingFriday afternoon as his body wasdrawn from the ice covered watersof the Cambridge Reservoir in Lin-coln. The discovery of the body byvolunteer frogmen culminated an in-tensive six-day search.

Clark was first missed Fridaymorning when he failed to returnto the fraternity house after havingbeen dropped off on a lonely Lincolnr oad near the reservoir Thursdaynight with instructions to return tothe house by 8:00 the next morning.W\Then his continued failure to returnbecame suspicious, officials of the fra-ternity notified his parents, and thefollowing morning Dean of StudentsE. Francis Bowditch and the Cam-bridge authorities were also inform-ed.

The search started off on a small,routine scale with Sergeants Nortonand Markini of the Cambridge Po-lice Department in charge. Sundaythe search was put in the hands ofLieutenant Granger of the same de-partment and by Monday morningfive police departments were on thecase, including squads from Cam-bridge, Waltham, and Lincoln, alongwith the Metropolitan and State po-lice.

The only clue uncovered by Mon-day evening by which time his fa-ther had arrived from Illinois, wasthe fact that Clark had approacheda Lincoln couple at their home Thurs-day night, but since he was limitedby fraternity rules as to how muchinformation he could give, the couplewas suspicious and turned him down.

At this point, several theories ex-laining Clark's disappearance wereprevalent, among which the mostprominent were that he may have

passed out in a field near the pointwhere he was dropped off, that hemay have visited an ailing sisterin the Midwest, and that he mayhave drlowned in the nearby reser-voir. Gradually the last of these be-came the most feasible, as the filrstwas proved improbable by intensive"human-chain" searches of all thesurrounding fields and marshes by po-lice and firemen along with volun-teers from the Institute, and the sec-ond was ruled out by a routine check.At its peak, the field search inclu-ded three light planes, two helicop-ters, and an estimated total of 500searchers.

As the drowning theory becameincreasingly prominent, the searchbecame concentrated on the reser-voir itself, and several boats alongwith another helicopter were calledin. The first big break came Thurs-day afternoon, as a patch of rela-tively newly formed ice was spottedfrom a hovering helicopter, and soonafterwards a scarf and shoe, lateridentified as Clark's, were found nearthe hole. The police proceeded withdragging onelations immediately, andafter nothing was found by nightfall,volunteer frogmen were called in tostart work with underwater search-lights the following morning. Thesearch was resumed Friday morning-as the seven-man crew of frogmenworked in shifts. Finally, at 2:50p.m., the body was recovered and theworst fears of all concerned -weretragically confirmed.

Clark's father, who earlier in theweek had commented bitterly con-cerning fraternity hazing methods,but who after the finding of the bodywas termed "understanding" by In-stitute President James R. Killia-i,flew to Illinois with his son's bodySaturday morning.

IIThis replaced the Haydn Quartet in D major, "The Lark,"which had been originally programmed. The change wasrather unfortunate, since the Mozart work is by far theinferior of the two.. The quartet performed the work ade-quately, but somehow Mozart never seemed to get the workquite off the ground.

The second work, however, was an interestingly differentcomposition by Be'la, Bart~k, his Fifth Quartet. Opening'with an allegro movement filled with explosive and unex-pected climaxes, the opus soon had the performers creatinga frenzy of excited melodic and rhythmic crescendos. Thesecond movement was an adagio, with some outstandingcontrapuntal work in the best Bart~k manner. It was ex-ceedingly well done, and, in my opinion, was the best offer-ing the quartet made. A scherzo movement was followed byanother slow movement. this time an andante, which fea-tured a series of unusual and seldom heard portamentopizzicato chords by the whole quartet. Finally an allegrovivace finale recapitulated and concluded the work. TheBart~k was the high _point of the program, and was per-formed very well, with that slight touch of alienness thatcharacterizes Bart~k's music.

The concluding piece was a Beethoven quartet in Cmajor. Also very well done, the work contained a movementwhich featured a bass line played pizzicato by the 'cello;this partic'ular movement was especially well done. The finalallegro movement was in the traditional Beethov'en style,brisk and stirring.

The performance was well received by an enthusiasticaudience, and the quartet was called back to the stageseveral times.

"King of Hearts" by Jean Kerr and Eleanor BrookeDirected by Thomas RoachProduced by the Tuffs Community PlayersTuffs Arena Theatre, Medford, through February 25

It is all too often the case with many of us that our play-going habits defeat themselves. With the high price oftickets, and perennially low level of funds, most collegestudents are restricted to a very few of the big Boston showsin the couarse of a season. We try to pick those which havehad good reviews, whose story appeals to -us, and to whichwe can get tickets! But going to the theatre can be fun evenif "Mssrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert'. do not head the program-within easy distance are some of the very best amateur groupsin the country, presenting their work -with a verve thatwould do credit to many a supposedly "pre-Broadway"show.

My case in point is "King of Hearts", now in its secondweek at Tufts. Originally a Broadway show of two seasonspast, it is a lighthearted, blatantly theatrical comedy abouta cartoonist and his secretary-fiancee. Larry Larkin, whosesudden acceptance by the "intellectual" public gives himan amazing resemblance to the real-life Walt Kelly, hassacrificed himself to bringing -wholesome, soul-cleansing witand humor to his public. As becomes rather evident, hiscartoons, whose simplicity brought them into intellectualprominence, are now so intellectual that the kids have quitreading them. The net effecf of this overly-wise gentleman.is to motivate in his secretary, his "ghost-writer" and allabout him emotions ranging from adoration to obscenity,and bring off in grand style a tongue-in-cheek tale ofromance among the "newly intelligent."

For many and varied reasons, amateurs more often at-tempt plays that will be within their capacities than certainprofessionals. Fortunately, indeed, for the audience is theatreated to a well-understood, highly polished production,,complete within itselfwith few amends necessary in regardthe personalities starring in the show. Unlike the Broadwayplay which succeeds because of its stars or its plot, the goodamateur production must stand on its own feet, providingentertainment on its own merits. The Tufts CommunityPlayrspro b bl o e of the -os activ of our_ local ams-teur groups, has certainly conformed to these criteria in"King of Hearts."

Handling his role of the neurotic and exhuberant Tarry,

Richard Lindsey pulled out of the hat a well-rounded char-acter, with so many twists and complexes that he is a verit-able "psychiatric manual" in himself. As Larry's idolizingsecretary, Judith Labrack gives the feminine love interesta warm look and intriguing smile, although a. bit too physi-cally strong character, while Sol Schwade, who appearedin last spring's Dramashop production of "The King andThe Duke," plays Larry's frustrated publisher with all thesatirical wit at his command, and brings a brilliantly lightedcurmudgeon into every scene. Robert Leibacher, as Larry's".ghost-writer", does his young man with flatness substitutedfor sarcastic bitterness during most of the play, but stillmanages to come through for a slam-bang ending. Add tothis a fine young actor named Russell Savage as Larry's

'"latest project" in child development, and you have' anicely-tuned farce Afull of warm fun and laughter.

"Diabolique"We entered the Beacon Hill Theatre a few evenings ago

·prepared to witness an event comparable to an atom bombtest. We were warned well in advance of our ascent up thefamous old hill that no one would be admitted to the.theatre after the main feature had begun. Moreover, wewere greeted by a theatre employee who handed us a ratherlegal-looking document in the form of a pledge promisingnot to reveal the ending of Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Diabo-lique." Being a poor secret-keeper from way back, we werefrankly rather frightened by the prospect of signing thepledge and subsequently keeping mum. Fully expecting theushers to be armed with bayonets, we were somewhat corn-forted by their handsome faces and shiny tuxedos. Weemerged from the theatre two hours later, a bit shaken andfirmly resolved to steer clear of bathtubs and wicker basketsuntil our jangled nerves settled down to their normal stateagain.I

Our bathtub-phobia, originated early in the film when boththe wife and mistress of Michel Delasalle, a handsome butterribly'brutal romeo, decide to team up and do away withthe villain by drowning him in the family bathtub. Now itis a well-known fact that Frenchmen, too, take baths occa-sionally. Thus they couldn't leave the remains of the deceasedthere indefinitely, fully dressed and in pretty ghastly shapeat that. So our lady friends simply hauled him off in anoversized wicker basket that just happened to be lyingaround the house. (This is the source of our temporaryaversion towards wick-er baskets.) The old boy's carcasswas eventually deposited in a nearby swimming pool. Andthen the trouble begins. 'What goes on after the late lover'Pssubmersion in the pool makes the preceding events look likefun and games. There is a progression of weird happeningswith a tinge of the supernatural cleverly designed to makeone look under one's bed for nights to come.

Although the plot calls for no extraordinary dramaticability, the character portrayals are effective. Paul Meurisseis adequately spiteful in the role of Michel Delasalle, former tennis champion -who apparently found sex a muchmore engaging enterprise. His coarse mistress, NicoleHorner, who originates the plan to dispose of the manaround the house, is played by Simeone Signoret. Perhapsthe best performance is by Vera Clouzot in her role ofChristina. Delasalle, Michel's frail but faithful wife whoplays murderess only with the encouragement of MistressNicole.

The Delasalles own a boarding school at which most offthe action takes place. In contrast to the usual cinema versionof a boarding school at which the children run roughshodover the Iarassed faculty, the antics of these schoolboys areindeed mild when compared with their teachers' shenani-gans. All these goings-on do reach a climax, but, being agood scout, we'll say no more. For we don't want to committhe double sin of breaking our pledge and losing the priceof your admission for the Beacon Hill Theatre.

Juiliard String QuartetThe Juilliard String Quartet presented the third in the

MIT Humanities Series of concerts last Sunday afternoonin Kresge. The quartet is made up of four members of theensemble faculty of the Juilliard School of Music.

Robert Mann and Robert Koff, the violinists, both per-formed with a deft touch and precise clarity. Raphael Hill-yet handled the viola well, lending a solid support 'Lo theensemble. and performing well in the few outstandingopportunities that the viola parts offered. The 'cello wasplayed by Claus Adam; although Mr. Adam had a tendencytowards roughness in the lower register when playing rapid-ly and loudly, his patterned bass parts were fine and hispizzicato notes 'well done.

As a unit, the quartet was very well integrated, displayinga fine sense of timing and complete mutual understandingof the works they performed.

The program began with Mozart's "Dissonant" Qu~artet.

Wesleyan hit a fabulous 48.6% ofFir shots in the first half to build

Although the men were the samewhen the second half opened therewas no resemblance with the teamwhich had left five minutes earlier.Larry Hallee '56 opened scoring witha set shot a n d Vergun pumpedthrough seven points to cut the gapto 49-39 in four minutes. Benson hita beautiful layup on a fast break andfollowed with a set shot to cut thegap further but then picked up hisfifth foul and left the game.

Trinity SwimmersDrop Tech Natators

Although Tech swimmers improvedtheir best times in 5 of the 9 events,the natators dropped a meet to Trin-ity College this Saturday by a scoreof 54 to 30. Outstanding for the En-gineers was Harry Duane '57 who,in winning the 150 individual medley,once again bettered the school rec-ord, this time hitting a 1:42.9.

Tech started off strong, as Al Hort-man opened up a body and a halflead on the backstroke leg of the med-ley relay, Al was timed in a 1:05.8,the best time he has turned in todate; Paul Cotter, who turned ir. a1:09.4, came in 3 body lengths be-hind one of the top breaststrokers inNew England. Will Veeck almostclosed this gap, but outtouched atthe finish; Will was clocked at :54.6,2 seconds better than he has donepreviously. Tech came right back asMurray Kohlman '58 won the 220 in2:28.3, his best to date. The 50 waswon by Shannon of Trinity in 24.2,with Frank Salz '57 taking a third.Tech came back again in the 150 in-dividual as Duane and Al Johnson'58 took first and second respective-ly. Going into the 100 Trinity wasleading 18 to 14, and in this eventVeeck who had done brilliantly inthe relay was just outtouched byHolmstrom of Trinity who won in a54.8.

The diving was really a hotly con-tested battle; with never more thana few tenths of a point separatingDave Bryson '56 and Dan Holland'58 of' Tech from Boss and Taylor ofTrinity. Boss won with a final tallyof 76.26 as opposed to 76.25 for Bry-son. (Tom Hoffman's '56 logarithmiccomputation of this score comes out76.261 to 76.25124).

At this point the score stood 20 to30 in favor of Trinity but in thenext event, the Backstroke, Al John-son '58 and Hortman came throughwith the usual one, two punch,Johnson winning in a 2:25.7. Loganwho placed fourth in New Englandlast year copped the breaststroke forTrinity in a 2:38.9; Paul Cotter '57of Tech got a third in 2:56.8. Trin-ity again blitzed Tech in the 440, asKohlman came in third, and took theclosing relay.
