MacCornack, head of the Depart- ment of Architecture, explained the part architecture is playing in the nation's War effort and the part it must play after the war. Long range planning projects have dis- tinct social, economic, and aesthetic values which we as Americans have often overlooked, especially in the construction of our large cities, Dean MacCornack believes. Although approximately 56,7o of the nations population resides in urban situations, relatively few at- bempts have been made to create attractive, well-planned cities: Even the convenience of the community is forgotten in the speculation which usally accompanies building. Therefore American cities are among the ugliest in the world, and often far from capable of providing proper homes for their citizens, the Dean emphasizes. Today it is in the power of Amer- icans to curb these ugly cities and to develop planned communities. According to Dean MacCornack, architecture and construction are today what one might designate as the zero point. As very few build- ings are being erected today, archi- tects can now plan the cities of tomorrow. They have the opportu- Advanced To Rank Of Lieut. Colonel Colonel Edward W. Putney, C.A.C., Professor of Military Sci- ence and Tactics, recently revealed the entire list of promotions which have been made for the Army officers in that department dur- l ia the past few months. The most recent of these was that of Joseph F. Cook, Jr. to a Lieutenant Colonel. Edward C. Harwood was also recently made a Lieutenant I Colonel. Five other promotions have been received since March 1 including Burdette H. Buckingham to a ' Major in the Signal Corps, Arthur D L. Caswell to a Major in the Ord- nance Department, Frank S. Post to a Lieutenant Colonel in the i Chemical Warfare Service, Jerome L L. Spurr to a Major in the Corps of .i Engineers, and Malcolm S. Stevens p; to a Captain in the Corps of Engi- d neers. Promotions of non-commissioned officers have also been made. Ward B. Carroll was promoted from a straight Sergeant to a Staff Ser. geant, and Arthur E. Henderson has been made a Technical Ser- ] geant. Former Staff Sergeant 5 George C. Hunt has just received his commission raising him to a sec- ond lieutenant in the Signal Corps. With his promotion came orders for service elsewhere so that Second Lieutenant Hunt will not be here next year to coach the Novars. He had been at Technology for several years and has rendered valuable service by coaching the Novars foot- ball team for the past two years. 160 Couples Dance At Freshman Prom Joan.

The chaperons for the dance were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur R. Davis, Pro- fessor and Mrs. Raymond D. Doug- lass, Professor and Mrs. M. Stanley Livingston, and Mrs. Karl T. Comp- ton.

If we can improve on these present day problems, how much easier our lives will be, he says. Dean MacCornack points out that it will be possible to place men now in the armed services or in ex- panded war industries to work on rehousing and construction jobs. In this manner we might also avert the usual financial problems which arise after periods of unusual de- velopment. As far as the finance itself is concerned, he stresses that Iby planning wisely citizens can save much themselves.

Uncut, the picture isrunning on a continuous perform-ance basis with the last completeshowing commencing at nine P.M.Among cinema films "GWTW" isundoubtedly one of the superlativesand has the column's three integ-rals and an orchid rating. One ofthe most faithful filmizations, of anovel the screen has ever at-tempted, "IGWTW" has some excel-lent acting. Clarki Cable performsthe greatest screen Job of his careeras Rhett Butler. Vivien Leigh turnsin an outstanding and unforget-table performance as Scarlett, andthe wor k of Leslie Howard andOlivia de Haviland is equal, if notbetter than anything else they haveever done on the screen.

. . . closing the term's formal so-cial season is the Phi Sigma Kappaspring formal this Friday at theWoodland Country Club. Bert Ed-wards will start things moving atthe nine o'clock whistle and keepthe entertainment rolling till one.Planning to make a weekend oftheir last social event this springthe Phi Sigs will carry on Saturdayafternoon with their annual picn-ic.Preceding the dance on Friday willbe a private dinner at the fraternityhouse.

. . . noticing the Social News inthe May seventh Simmons weeklywe found an interesting insightinto Tech's social rating. It appearsthat "Despite big doings at B.U. andHoly Cross, Simmons found time forM.I.T. Alice-enjoyed the dance atSigma Kappa while Dottie -and'Kelly'-were well entertained bythe staff." We are. glad to hear thatat least three Simmons' girls hadTech dates two weekends ago. Toobad none attended the big doingsat B.U. and Holy Cross.

(Continued from Page 1) ITwo examples where planningshould have been used were givenby Professor MacCornack. Themost notable of these is Londonwhich, after the great fire in 1666,was replanned by Sir ChristopherWren. The plans were never used,but their value can be recognizedtoday. Where there are now slums,there would have been beautfulparks. St. Pauls Cathedral stands,today surrounded by crowdedstreets, where there should havebeen a beautiful park area, whichwould have set the church off to itsbest advantage. Londoners recog-nizing the value of planning willprobably replan London after thewar.

The second notable example isDetroit. When the city was young,plans were drawn up which, if they.had been followed, would havesaved the city sums of money esti-mated in the tens of million. ButWashington, D.C., a planned city,noted today for its outstandingbeauty is maintained at a minimumof expense. Examples such as theseillustrate why we must not hesitateto plan our communities to the bestof our abilities.

Dean MacCornack, a native ofIllinois, received his 'training atKnox Academy and Knox College inGalesburg, Illinois, and the schoolof architecture of the Institute.After his graduation, he worked inBoston for about 10 years and thenin Cleveland for 26 years. Duringthis time he became well-knownfor his work in designing school andcollege buildings. He was associatedwith the late Guy Lowell in thedevelopment of plans for the BostonMuseum of Fine Arts.

After an active civic life in Cleve-land, Professor MlacCornack wascalled to Technology in 1939 totake the place of Dean WilliamEmerson, upon the latter's retire-ment.

Mr. and Mrs. MacCornack, well-known in New England, reside inBoston. They have one son, DonaldAmsden MacCornack, a graduateof Dartmouth College and Tech-nology. He has recently entered thearmed services.

became useless without further re-pairing.

Planning of this sort also callsfor changes in taxation and in legis-lation. Building codes, outmodedzoning laws, incorrect propertyvaluations must be removed andfairer, 'more up-to-date legal regu-lations established, MacCornacksaid.

With regional planning, however,will come improvements in trafficproblems, parking ills. and more ofa chance for recreation and thebuilding of schools. It has beenfound that creation of parks andrecreational opportunities in acrowded area have reduced juveniledeliftquency as much as 507o, so thatinvestment pays for itself sociallyas well as financially,

Professor MacCornack heartilyassured your reporter that prefabri-cation and mass production ofhouses would not in any way harmthe architect's situation. In fact,if anything, construction improve-ments such as these would help thearchitect. Any type of house canbe set up row on row, identicallyspaced, so that a whole develop-ment becomes too stereotyped forany aesthetic comfort. Here thearchitect fits in. It is his job toconsider the whole instead of justone unit, and to introduce beautythrough planning. Thus even thelowest cost houses can achieve in-dividudality by proper pattern spac-ing.

Our cities especially need plan-ning. In New York City, where overseven and one half million peoplelive, there has been no control overskyscrapers nor other large build-ings. Approaches to the city, rail-road entrances in particular, aredirty and unattractive. Yet inSouth America, railway approachesto the cities are planted with treesand bushes and flowers to bring outthe beauty in the region. Parksare more bountiful in South Amer-ican cities than in ours. The con-trast shows that we have much todo in order to improve our cities,according to MacCornack.

' . . the Cambridge SummerTheater opened its third season lastnight with the Broadway hit,"George Washington Slept Here,"at the Brattle Hall theater, and maywe say opened with a hit. JackSheehan, who portrayed a back-to-nature husband with a typicalbig city wif e in tow, gave an out-standing performnance ine his vic-torious fight to gain full ownershipof his long desired house in thecountry. His dynamic acting indeeddeserves much praise. Cora Whiter-spoon, the doubting wife who finallywas won over to her husband's de-sire for a country home even withits rustic inconveniences, alsoturned in an excellent performanceadding much humor to the wellwritten comedy of situation. Hu-morously entertaining "GeorgeWashington Slept Here" will appearfor the week of May eleventh, tobe followed next week by a newcomedy by Pauline Williams, star-ring Fay Wray.

. . . adding their bit to the rapidlyclosing Technology social season,,the Freshmen held their springprom at the Hotel Kenmore lastFriday. With the well liked RollyRogers, who supplied good dance-able music, on the bandstand theonly drawback to a completely suc-cessful affair was the noticeablelack of elbow room. The FreshmanProm Committee undoubtedly waspleased to see the crowd but it washard on the dancers - especiallythe waltzes. Noticeable too was theoverflow into the attractive MuralLounge, a welcome haven to manyof the upperclassmen present.

During the broad-cast President Conant delivered ashort speech, and Colonel John EN.Atkinson, City Manager of Cam-bridge speaking on behalf of thecity of Cambridge, told students ofthe parent city that "we in thiscountry appreciate their sacrifice."Yale is scheduled to go on the airsoon in a broadcast to Oxford, Eng-land; all broadcasts are under theauspices of the powerful shortwavestation of WRUL.

It's Useful To KnowWhile the Lounger was polishing

up another apple in the office of aparticular physics instructor, hehappened to notice this dispenser of knowledge marking a batch ofi8:02 quiz papers. Hoping to learnsome useful information, thelounger kept vigil over the prof'svery masculine shoulder. .

Suddenly, as another paper wasmarked and laid aside, a neatblank sheet faced our young in-structor, with naught but the stu--dent name at the top. Zeros, beingrepulsive to this instructor, hecarefully perused the blank sheet -for some bit of information whichwould render him capable of giv--ing some credit to the unfortun-.ately forgetable freshman, N

Then uttering an exclamation of -satisfaction, the embryonic prof es-sor placed 10 and a grade of F atthe top of the paper and turned itCover. Wohen asked how he found10 points worth of knowledge onthat paper, the instructor replied,"Well, his first two initials are,'ME.A.', and F equas M.A., and I ialways give 10 for knowing that'

Here's another of Professor EDavis' tricks. The dear old pro- fessor seems bent on practicing hisculinary skill. The other day thesubject of carbonates et al entered into the lecture material. To pro-_vide the frosh with definite proof that heat is evolved when quicklime is transformed into slaked lime Awith the addition of water, Chief Cook Davis disappeared behind the lecture table long enough to bringout an egg, then a frying pan andfinally a chef's hat. The egg wasbroken into the pan with care, with-out destroying the yoke, the panwas placed on a pan of quicklimeand then water was added. Soonthe egg was frying merrily.

But did the professor end here?Oh, n1o! He showed how to flipthe fried egg, exhibiting a skillknown only to great cooks of hiscalibre. Then a customer appearedfrom the audience, a meal ticketwas punched, and the egg was sup-posedly devoured.

T'he truth about the dubitablesuccess of the cooking lies with Mr.Smith, the faithful labor atory ghost. He can tell whether or not Athe egg was successful. Mr. SmithEhas remained silent on the latest of the professor's tripks.

A MASCOT WE MUST HAVEThe beaver is Technology's official mascot, an unreal mas-

cot that has appeared in the past only on letterheads, Beaver-Club paddles, an~d Senior rings. An attempt to build this hollowTechnology tradition into a reality was made last year, how-ever, by a series of negotiations which had as its goal the pro-curement of a living beaver to serve as the Institute mascot.

But like so many movements this one died an early deathwith no apparent causes. The State of Maine promised usone in the f all of 1941 when the law wrould allow beavers to 'Deexported from the state. New Hampshire agreed to supplyone af ter it had arisen from a winter of hibernation. Neitherof these off ers materialized. The Sportsmnen's Show, whichappeared in Boston last f all, was to leave behind one of itsbeavers for Technology, but the show pulled out for New Yorkbefore' anyone could collect.

The desirability of owning such a mascot has, on the wholebeen unquestioned in the past. It is a well known psychologicalfact that human beings, teams as well as idividuals, will exertmuch greater effort while fighting for an ideal or symbol aswell as for a cherished victory. The problem of housing themascot has been solved already: he can be boarded at a districtzoo where he will be properly advertised as the official M.I.T.mascot.

The duty of securing the beaver quite naturally falls toBeaver Club, the organization under whose sponsorship lastyear's bargaining was carried out. Beaver Club initiation isset for next week-end; we suggest that one of the initiates begiven as his errand the procurement of a real beaver mascot.Let's strike this item off the books for good.

IN LINE WITH THE NATIONIf American armies decide to "put off " fighting for a

week; if our naval forces determined to halt the hunt for enemy submarines until next month-how long would Americaremain free? If the producers of armanent "just forgot" toturn out guns and tanks; if American generls "couldn't findtime" to map their campaigns-bow long would America re-main an independent democracy?

This is a war of minutes; procrastination has become syno-nymous with perfidy. And yet . . .

W~hile we can't thi-nk of one person wrho hasn't corm-mented favorably on United States Savings Bonds and Stamps, and who hasn't said "I'm going to start buying Stamps without fall."-we can think of several people who have delayed their purchasing, who won't start buying for a few days, or who have just forgotten to buy a Sarnp.

We're not writing this because we feel that Technien be- lieve that V stands for Vacillation. Rather, soe want to makepl ain our assurance that it is vitally important for students toinvest their dimes and quarters in the United States as whole-heartedl-J, as regularly, and as systematically as their parentstinvest their pay-day dollars.

'Wholeheartedly, regularly, and systematically ... justIas our war is more than one isolated infantry attack, just as it requires much more than one concerted naval drive; andcjust as it necessitates infinitely more than a single bombing flight,everything we do must be continuous, unf altering, and constant.

The dimes and quarters we set aside are important to thewar effort, but only if they are put aside regularly and sys.tematically. Only if they reflect both the urgency of payingtfor this war, and the continuous, dynamic philosophy behindsit. Make a pledge to yourself. Remembering that our search inc

lthe seas and the sk~y is continuous, that the flow of machinesvand munitions is never-ending, pledge yourself to fall in line

with America.' Start buying Stamps and Bonds today. Start ' buying them regularly.

Two Hockey MenWin Straight T

Last; Tuesday the Advisory Coun-cil on Athletics approved theStraight T award to Fred Kaneband Johnny Arnold. To LeonardFowle of the Boston Globe. Kanebwas the best college defenseman inNew England. Johnny Arnold waschosen for Fowle's second all-NewEngland team as center .

Spectators at the Tech gamesremember the innumerable solosallies made by Ered Kaneb ini anattempt to score. Time and againhe would get a break at his ownblue line and move it up unassistedto other goal. Uncanny speed iswhat makes Kaneb the good ath-lete which he is. Speed coupledwith a hundred and eighty poundsof bone and muscle made him theterror of the opposing defensemen.Often the Kaneb was able to dribblethrough two or three opponentsand score a goal unassisted. Thething that did the hearts of theTech players good was to see oneof the opposing defense try to checkKaneb and go sprawling on1 the ice.When they hit Kaneb, they wentdown.

Cost to Increase

It is expected that this year'sfreshman camp will cost slightlymore than the preceding ones,because the T.C.A. will be unableto charter buses for transportation,and thus must rely on a specialtrain to Tyngsboro, about 6V/2 milesfrom the camp. As yet it has notbeen determined how the boys willget to camp from Tyngsboro, butattempts are being made to charterschool buses, or to hire horse-drawnor tractor-drawn hay-racks. Anotheritem aff ecting the rise in cost is therise in prices of food-stuffs.

. ' . -Magic Cures Ittsartity.Teaching of patients to performbricks of magic has been success-fully used in treatment of certaintypes of insanity, according to Dr.Douglass M. Kelley, instroctor inpsychiatry in the University ofCalifornia Medical school, the Asso-ciate Collegiate Press reports.

Dr. Kelley has found that theuse of magic is an addition tooccupational therapy, whereby thepatient is occupied in manual tasks.The use of magic is limited to pa-tients of the introverted or inse-cure type. The ability to performtricks of magic successfully dis-tinguishes a patient in a socialgroup, and this restores his self-confidence. "The feeling of successengendered by a clever act, readilylearned, stimuates, the student tomore difficult presentations. Fromthe very beginning a magician in-variably seeks out an audience, andthis fundamental principle tendsto effect re-socialization, which isone o f the basic requirements oftherapeutic occupation."

. . . Illinois Techlengineers like to call a spade aspade,-and why not, after all?Seems that some of the Chicagoboys are befuddled by the "highfalutin mess of words" that hasbeen perpetrated in the columnsof the Illinois Technology News.Recent editorial in that newsprintspent a full ten inches of doublecolumn space in the noble effortof -enlightening its readers on themeaning of such crypitic mono-syllabics as: druvilogical, dinth,cranth, muctornamicaly, pymorgu-ate, vorpal, ipriatism, frurniousand so on, and so on.

Since it is the sacred duty ofyour columnist not to withhold anyvital information available Eonother campuses from the studiousstooges of the Institute, we givesome of the definitions accordedby the Chicago paper to clarify thewhole situation . . . . ..Dinth isvery simply defined as the oppo-site of concave or convex, which-ever. This means that it describesan object that is of opposite shapeto an obj ect that is concave orconvex in form. Cranth is defi-nitely defined as an adjective ofdegree from zero to infinity. Muc-tornamnic is an adjective whichconveys degree of velocity. Aftercareful entymological derivation,we find it to be the same rapidspeed at which an onion respirates,(or respires). Pymorgulate is a

vrerb denoting action of rehabiitat-ing by destructive pollution of anotherwise intact object.' (Websterplease copy in next edition.) Va-riation of the above, at the discre-tion of writer and printer are inorder.
