Parking StLtusToBelmproved

Two Restricted Areas,Night Permits Planned

Here is the complete story on theparking situation as given to thispaper by J. H. Barraford, AssistantSuperintendent of Buildings andPower. This plan may relieve theconfusion surrounding parking atthe Institute.

The main parking lot, betweenBuildings 10, 12 and 33, is restricted,and students are not granted park-ing permits for this lot. This areahas recently been repainted toaccommodate about two hundredcars.

The east parking lot, between thenew library and the swimmingpool, is also restricted. For the pastyear permits for this lot have beenextended to all students residingin Building 22, the UndergraduateDormitories, and the Senior House.Students who wish to apply forparkring permits must fill in a stu-dent overnight parking formn andit must be signed by the DormitoryManager. Commuting students arenot granted parking permits in thisarea.

The west parking lot besideBriggs Field is not restricted andis the area for commuting stu-dents' use. There are about threehundred and fifty marked spacesavailable for those who get therefirst. Residents of the GraduateHouse using this area should fill inthe above mentioned form forovernight parking.

The small "parking card" filledjut on registration day is for gen-eral use in the Buildings and PowerDepartment and is not used ingranting permits. It provides ameans of contacting car ownerswhenever it becomes necessary toclear parking areas.

The closing of the Harvard3ridge .has practically eliminated

arking on Memorial Drive, Mass.Wve., Vassar St., etc. The M.D.C..nformed the Buildings and PowerDepartment last week that they arelagging all cars on the drive andare strictly enforcing this regula-.ion.

N DIbSCIPLIbIJudicial Comma. EmbarksOn New Term Program

With a go-ahead signal from the Administration, the under-graduate Judicial Committee is this term embarking on a new,program. The Faculty Committee on Student Discipline willinvite the chairman of the Judicial Committee to sit in at meet-ings which involve disciplinary action, with certain exceptions.The chairman this year is Gerald Fisch, '50.

The Judicial Committee wasset up by Institute Committeetwo-and-one'-half years ago,but it has not been activebecause its scope and responsibili-ties were not clearly known.

First Harvard Incident

Before the five-man Committeewas formed, the Institute Commit-tee as a whole investigated and dis-cussed disciplinary cases reportedto the body. However, after thatbody spent months wrangling overwhat is now known as the first Har-vard Incident it was decided to or-goanize an Undergraduate JudicialCommittee to handle such cases ina more expedient manner. Such aCommittee would also strengthenstudent government by giving it adirect voice in student discipline.

The Committee has no disciplin-ary powers-it can only recommendaction to either the Institute Com-mittee or to the Faculty Committeeon Provisional Students and Dis-cipline. However, all recommenda-tions involving legal relationshipsbetween students and the Instituteare referred to the Dean of Studentsfor consideration by the FacultyJommittee.

According to HiltonAccording to Thomas L. Hilton,

Assistant to the Dean of Students,'It is strongly hoped that there willbe agreement as to the proper dis-ciplinary action between both theFaculty Cormmittee and the student'-committees. Both committees willmake a sincere effort to achieve thisunanimity of decision by makingall facts available to each other andfully discussing any differences ofopinion."

During the recent discussions ofthe Judicial Committee it wasagreed that although in most casesno action would be taken by theDean's Office without agreement be-tween the Faculty and student com-mittees, circumstances do arisewhen action cannot await studentdecision (for instance, when the

Residents Find New DormitorygClean, Br'ight And Liveable

By FRED VANDERSGCHMIDPTThe New Dormitory, even in the

process of construction, raised asingular interest in the world ofarchitecture as well as amongTechnology undergraduates, andthe question now is, naturallyenough, "How has it turned oult?"Of course, there are as many speci-fic answers to this question as thereare people living in the building,;ut nevertheless, there is a certainamount of agreement.

The -general opinion is good. Imnfact, one might almost say ecstatic.As one resident, who had lived fortwo years in the barracks beforecoming to the new house, said, "Ican hardly believe I'm living here."Others, whose previous two or threeyears had been spent in the "old"dormitories had pointed compari-sons to make.

Red Tile WallsOne ex-old dorm man, for in-

stance, was particularly. taken withthe brick-red tile used as an In-terior finish. The gist of his remarkswas that there was considerabledifference in waking up in a roomwhere warm'-red tile diffused apleasant, textured light throughthe room to seeing that "ghastlygreen paint, hundreds of coatsthick, and bisected by that hideousband of warped wood." We ratherthink his comparison exaggerated,but the pleasantness of the tile,particularly in its contrast with thewhite painted cement portions ofthe wall, cannot be denied.

M.I.T. ExchangesTextile Students

Lowell Textile InstituteOffers Staff, Equipment

Plans for cooperation in the fieldof textile technology between Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technologyand Lowell Textile Institute, assur-ing increased educational opportu-nities' to students and an inter-change of staff members of bothinstitutions, were announced todayby President Killian and .Mr. Ken-neth R. Fox, President of L. T. I.

This cooperative action coversmutual use of facilities for researchand manufacturing at Lowell Tex-tile Institute for Technology gradu-.ate student theses, and use of Tech-nology textile division facilities forL.T.I. student theses, particularlyat the graduate level; also the useof books, periodicals and theses ontextiles in both extensive libraries.

According to the agreement,Lowell students will do work here inchemistry, mathematics, business,engineering, and textile technology.Similarly, Institute students will begiven the opportunity of workingwith textile manufacturing andfinishing machinery for cotton,wool and rayon as summer sessionand other special courses become.vailable at Lowell.

On the student side, there willoe regularly scheduled studentzrips from Technology to Lowelland vice versa, and there areplanned joint meetings betweenstudent societies, such as the stu-ent chapter of the American Asso-

ciation of Textile Chemists andColorists and the EngineeringSociety.

Others were impressed by theclean, bright linoleum coveredfloors, still others by that marvelousstaircase which makes climbing tothe sixth floor almost as easy astaking the elevator. Practically auniversal conmnent was thatalthough the physical dimensionsof the new rooms are smaller thanthose in the old dormitories, thecareful planning of the new roomshas. made them far more liveable.

Fine FurnitureIn particular, the marvelous

furniture (the most remarkablepieces were made in Sweden) hasgiven this impression. It is certainlysome of the most practical andhandsome stuff -that has ever beenproduced. Much of the design wasaccomplished by Alvar H. H. Aaltohimself. In general, an amospherefull of clean light and air -prevailsin the rooms and in the halls too,remarkablyr enough, and every-where, instead of a hodge-podge ofpoorly designed, poorly built furni-ture that would not fit in a jailcell, there is beauty, taste andrefinement.

One of the most controversial ofthe questions which the new dormi-

iMartha Graham And Troupe WillAppearNovibmber 2 At Cambridge Auditorium

Miss Graham says of her work, "The aim of my dancing is to impart thesensation of life, to energize the spectator, to send him away with a fuller

sense of his own potentialities and the power of realizing them."

Whether you know her as the"Miss Hush" of Truth or Conse-quences or as the dancer for whomAaron Copeland wrote AppalachianSpring, winning the Pulitzer Prizeand the Critics' Circle Award, thelady pictured above is MarthaGraham, who is the first dancerof our time to remove "modernm"dance from the realm of concert-harl ballerinas to that of the Broad-way stage, with phenomenalsuccess.

Time magazine calls her "Amer-

ica's ,Number One Dancer," andthe New York Times has on severaloccasions given her its AnnualDance Award. She was head ofMayor LaGuardia's New York CityDance Division and has performedfor the late iPresident Roosevelt.

A few days ago, a friend of oursventured into the Walker DiningHall. He grabbed a tray, took two(:dote this well) rolls from thebread warmer'and proceeded tolook over the menu.

Our fellow proceeded down theline, carefully calculating andnoting that the total cost of themeal cameto ninety-five cents. Nota penny more.

mBut when the cashier tallied themeal, she arrived at a differentfigure. One dollar and Afive cents."How come?" queried the unsus-pecting diner?

The reason given was that therolls were a nickel each. This|brought the total cost of the meal to one dollar. At this point thegovernment took over, and anotherfive cents was added to the bill.The unfortunate fellow had paidfifteen cents for two "lIs!

A feature of the Convocation andInauguration was a speech de-livered by Professor Yacques Mari-tain in the Panel Discussion onScience, /Materialism and the Hu-man Spirit. Subsequently Profes-sor Maritain handed over his manu-'script to a student or faculty mem-ber for transmission to the Library.Unfortuiately the manuscriptnever arrived, and although a texScan be brought together the ar-chives of M.I.T. will lack an im-portant and interesting contTimu-tion if the manuscript cannot belocated.

If anyone has the manuscript orknows of its whereabouts will theycommunicate directly with theLibrary as soon as possible. DeanBurchard is now editing the vazious Convocation papers for publicationand the need is urgent.

announcement of the change inpolicy regarding admission to homegames of Tech teams. The questionis now, what effect will this changein policy have on the attendanceat these home games? On the sur-face, it would seem that the decisionto charge admission prices is aimedat outsiders rather than Tech stu-dents, since the latter are to beadmitted free to all events. How-ever, it is hoped that the very factthat these contests are no longerfree to outsiders will prove to bea psychological encouragement formore Tecbxen to attend.

During the past few years, thegeneral support given to Techteams by the student body has beenpoor, to say the least. When severalof the year's most important crewraces took place right on our verydoorstep last spring, plenty of Har-vard, B.U., and other miscellaneouspartisans were present, but veryfew Tech supporters were in evi-dence. Attendance at home base-ball games last spring was likewisepitiful, and even track meets, whichusually draw large crowds, werepoorly attended. (When the NewEngland championship meet, a bigevent, was held on our home field,Tech's representation among thespectators was limited to a verysmall group of enthusiasts.) Only atthe basketball games could theattendance ,be saidfairly good. Maybeo.f Walker Gym toresponsible for the

Second-guessing a manager is aprivilege reserved for baseball fans,and it's our guess that 1Marse JoeMcCarthy's strategic maneuvers inthe eighth inning of last Sunday'sclimactic struggle between the RedSox and Yankees will be a subjectfor speculation for many years tocome.

A pennant hung in the balance,as the Sox went into the fatefuleighth on the short end of a 1-0score, with Ellis Kinder and theYanks' Vic Raschi hooked up ina hot mound duel. During the Soxhalf of the inning McCahremoved Kinder for a pinchhitterwho walked and was immediatelywiped out in the middle of a doubleplay. Here some small second guess-ing can take place, but it's difficultto argue against the fact thatoffensive measures were needed,with time running out rapidly. It'salso difficult to argue with Mc-Carthy's choice of Mel Parnell ashis relief pitcher, since Mel hadpitched only a few innings tfheprevious day and figured to be stillstrong.

However, when dParnell's offer-ings proved so juicy that Henrichhit a home run and Berra a single,MiVcCarthy removed Parnell andreplaced him with none other ,thanTex Hughson, whose highly-adver-tised comeback campaign hadproven a complete flop and whohad shown very little good pitchingall season. Hughson by some strokeof luck managed to get Joe Di-Maggio to hit into a double play,but then reverted to form andyielded two hits and a walk toload the bases.

At this crucial point, and withKramer, Stobbs and Dobson allavailable for service, the Sox man-ager left Hughson in. As fate wouldhave it Gerry Coleman, the nexthitter, plunked a pop fly into rightfield for three -runs and- the ball-game. And to complete the ironyof the situation, the Sox got toRaschi in the ninth for three runswhich could have won the gameand the pennant -for Boston.

Confidential CasesLastly, the two committees an-

ticipate cases arising for which thesolution may require immediate andcompletely confidential handling."Clearly these cases, particularlythose which are mbedical in nature,should not be debated by any com-mittees even though the findings ofthe committees were not made pub-lic," said Dean Baker in a recentinterview.

Mr. Fisch will be assisted byArthur A. Wasserman '51, Secre-tary; Jack Stewart '50, the repre-sentative of the I.F.C.; and TomBishop '51, of the 5:15 Club. TheDormitory Committee represent-ative has not as yet been an-nounced.

According to Mr. Hilton this jointprogram of the student and Faculty.committees is another step forwardin the broadening of the base ofstudent autonomy and self-disci-pline. "The working relationshipswhich have been set forth aremerely guides to the action of thecommittee; all parties will have toexercise their best judgment to findequitable solutions to problems asthey may arise."

Those who expectedWalker-like food or meagre .por-tions were pleasantly surprised;the food so far has been appetizing,well prepared, and immaculatelyserved in the spotless pavilion cafe-teria.

Sole ComplaintA-bout the only widely expressed

complaint to be voiced about thenew dormitory is no fault of thearchitect, but of the Institute'srenting system. The building wasdesigned to include two differentlevels of rental, but -this was laterreduced to one (evidently in aneffort to keep the higher rentalsfrom being prohibitive.) This hasgiven some people much smallerrooms than others, with neither thecouch, roomy book shelves or large
