Greater Medical CostForces Rate Increasean Honmberg lnfrmery

Steadily increasing costs whichaffect almost every phase of theoperation of the Homberg Infirm-ary make necessary a general re-vision of fees for medical servicesafter July 1st, Dr. Dana L. Farns-worth, the Institute's Medical Di-rector, announced today.

"I am glad to report," said Dr.Farnsworth "that even under theincreased fees we will be able toprovide medical services at rateswhich are still substantially belowthose which' would be charged byoutside hospitals and physicians."

Two-Dollar increase for StudeenfsUnder the newv schedule of fees,

a faculty, staff member or em-ployee will not have to pay anyfees beyond those covered by BlueCross and Blue Shield while he isin the Infirmary. The charge for

, consultations in the clinic are notcovered by Blue Cross and BlueShield.

For students the increases willall be covered by an increase of$2.00 in'the present insurance plan.

? This plan will be administered asi at present and all students will beenrolled in the plan unless theysignify on the Bursar's card that

i they do not desire insurance.

New Schedule of FeesThe new student health insur-

ance rate will be $11.00 per semes-ter and the coverage is exactly thesame as in the past year. Thismeans that the insured student will

inot have to pay for consultationsin the clinics, for x-rays (otherthan dental), or for time spent inthe Infirmary. In addition, he willcontinue to be covered up to $1,000for each illness or injury, subjectto the same restrictions as in the

I' past.The fees for uninsured students

Foreign StudentLeaps From RoofOf Boardinghouse

Alexander Duren, '54, last Mon-day evening at 9:30 plunged 75 feetto his death. The leap was from theroof of his five-story lodging houseat 247 Marlborough Street.

Boguslaw Franckiewicz, a gradu-ate student, and his roommate,said he believed Duren's family hadbeen exterminated by the Com-munists in Poland and that Durenhad escaped from a concentrationcamp in Poland to Germany.

Duren had been lying on his bedearlier in the evening. Before 9:30p.m. he dressed, drank a glass ofmilk, and went up to the roof onlyto return shortly afterwards. Ap-pearing very nervous, he went backup to the roof in a few minutes andwithout saying anything leaped tohis death. Upon arrival at CityHospital he was dead from a frac-tured skull.

Duren came here from Germanyabout two years ago and was apermanent resident. He was spon-sored in this country by the Rev.Francis Tyczkowski of New YorkCity. The 27-year-old student wasa brilliant student but had beendespondent for more than a yearand was allegedly suffering from apersecution complex.

Dormcomm ElectionFor Comm. PositionsHeldlt Last Meeting

Dormitory Committee held itselections for positions on the com-mittee last Msonday night in theBurton House lounge. Mark Schu-pack, '53, was elected to ,be Dorm-comm treasurer; George Fuld, '53,secretary; Richard Sherwood, '53,judiciary committee; FrederickZwerling, '53, social chairman ofDormcoamm. Chaperons for com-mittee functions and student ownedand operated machines, for ex-ample, candy machines, were alsodiscussed.

The motion of Dana M. Ferguson,'52, that all mixed functions ofDormcomm and the various housecommittees must have chaperons,was approved after prolonged de-bate on the wording of the motion.

Theodore Uhler, '52, Taj Hanna,'52, and Martin Wohl, '53, were ap-pointed by Bennett Sack, '53, chair-man, to ask the Institute to reviewits policy regarding student ownedmachines. This move arose be-cause Taj Hanna had been told byMr. Dow, dormitories manager, toremove his machines from BakerHouse and said that they were notto be sold to any other student orany company that would allowthose machines to be serviced bystudents. "The reason -for askingfor the reconsideration is that thestudent owned machines give bet-ter service than those owned by out-side companies," explained Theo-dore Uhler.

To the Editor of THE ECIH:I have noticed that the "Stu-

dents for Struik" Oommittee hasput on the bulletin boards someposters announcing a regionalmeeting to be held in WVisconsinnext week, which is to discuss aca-demic freedom. I have read theposter and the list of sponsors withmuch interest, and I feel that thereare some facts about this meetingand its sponsors that the MIT stu-dent body should be aware of, be-fore any of them decides to par-ticipate in the meeting.

I have recently talked with theleaders of several national youthand student organizations, and Ifound that not one of them is spon-soring the meeting, nor have theybeen invited to send representa-tives. I have also checked with theU. S. National Student Associationofficers, since one of the sponsorsis listed as a regional officer of theNSA, and I find that the nationaloffice has not been informed of theconference, and that NSA is defi-rnitely not sponsoring the confer-ence.

Of the list of sponsors I only rec-ognized two names. They were Mr.Lieb's of the Students for StruikCommittee, and Mr. Halsted Hol-man of the International Union ofStudents. While I am not aware ofMr. Lieb's political affiliations, I amwell aware of Mr. Holman's, al-though I do not kfiow him per-sonally. IDuring the past year I hadoccasion to deal with the Interna-tional Union of Students on behalfof the National Student Associa-tion. Mr. Holman was the actingAmrnerican Vice-President on the

INFLATION AND THE STEEL DISPUTE

Frar from constituting a rfinal solution, the taking over ofthe steel mills by the Government only postponed the day ofreckoning, since the CIO will press for a wage increase nomnatter who is in charge.

The recommendation of the Wage Stabilization Board fora substantial wage increase for the steel worker-- with orwithout a corresponding increase in prices - is in itself mostunstabilizing.

Leaving out for the moment the question of whether ornot the steel industry can afford an increase, the wage increasewill substantially reduce the industry's profits before taxes,thus reducing the taxes paid to the Government by the industry,and consequently forcing the Government to borrow money tomeet its expenses.

This fact, together with the fact that close to three quartersof a million steel workers will have more money to spend will,at present full employment, lead to a sharp increase in themoney supply without any increase in the amount of goods onwhich to spend it.

In a recent address over radio and television, Clarence B.Randall, president of Inland'Steel, declared that while the costof living has gone up 11i o since the outbreak of war in Korea,the earnings of labor in the steel industry have gone up by131/2 %. If under such circumstances the CIO achieves a wageincrease for the steel worker, other unions who have fared lesswell will rightly exert strong pressure to obtain a similar in-crease.

In the end a round of wage increases will inevitably exertsuch pressure on price levels that the Price Stabilization Boardwill have to recommend a general increase in prices if only tokeep the companies with smaller profits in business.

Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall stated on Wednesday thatpeace with the steel companies reached by sanctioning a priceboost is like "going to Munich." We would point out that peacewith the CIO at the price of a wage increase is a strikinglyanalogous situation.

Originally intended by the architects as a recreation area,as a light-well, and as a way of getting from Building 2 to theEast Campus without passing through the English and HistoryLibrary, only as a light-well has it served its'purpose at all.

Its existence as a thoroughfare was very soon cut shortwhen an additional listening cabin - cabin 6 - was added tothe Music Library. Its use as a recreation area has been ham-pered by continual repairs (now completed) to stop water fromseeping into the basement; and, chiefly, by a certain reluctanceon the part of the Institute to take any positive steps.

A winter ice-rink is obviously out of the question: plate-glass is expensive these days. But in the summer, the courtcould, with few alterations, be used as an outdoor reading area.It affords an excellent setting for out-of-doors concerts-eitherby amplifier from the Music Room or by small ensembles play-ing on the raised dais along one side; also for amateur dramat-ics, lectures, movies, ceremonials and permanent or temporaryexhibits of garden sculpture.

There are countless ways of putting the court to good use.Without any large-scale modifications for the moment, a trialopening can - and, we believe, should - be effected withoutdelay.

executive committee of the IUSrepresenting a very small group ofstudents gathered in the Commit-tee for International Student Co-operation. Mr. Holman was very.active in the organization and ad-ministration of the Berlin Peacefestival which was jointly spon-sored by the IUS and the WorldFederation of Democratic Youth.I would point out that the US Na-tional Student Association hasnever joined the IUS because of itspartisan political activities in favorof communism, and I have notheard of Mr. Holman ever register-ing an objection to these activities,but rather supporting and imple-menting them.

I would respectfully suggest toMr. Lieb that he endeavor to findout more about the conferencewhich he is sponsoring, and thatany MIT student who might be in-terested should also investigate thenature of the people sponsoring themeeting and the purpose for whichit is being held. I have grave sus-picions about both the people andthe purpose, and I would not liketo'see any students attend the con-ference and then find their nameattached to some resolutions or pol-icies to which they ideologicallyobj ect.

I will be glad to furnish proof ofany statements made in this letter,to anyone interested, and I hopethat all MIT students who are con-sidering participating in the con-ference will consider this warning,and net participate blindly.

READING PEREtODTo the Editor of THE TECH:

Your editorial in Friday's issueof THIE TEGH was indeed a wel-comed one. The need for a reading

period here at Tech is not just aluxury, but a dire necessity if oneis to benefit truly by any course.I, for one, gain much more by anextensive review of a subject forthe final examination than by hav-ing that last bit of informationthrown at me in the final days ofthe term.

I am a Junior in Course II andin the past I have taken the weekbefore finals off for such a review,but since the end of the sophomoreyear I find this impossible, Forexample: last semester the finalsstarted on Saturday, January 19;on Wednesday, 16th, we had atwo-hour "quiz" in course 2.73; onFriday the 18th we had an hour"quiz" in 6.18; and the final assign-ment in 2.04 came on Friday after-noon.

As you can see we didn't havemuch time left in which to reviewfor Saturday's exam. My marksshowed it too.

The outlook this semester is justas bad . . . I only hope somethingis done about the reading periodbefore I develop an ulcer.

Everett Morss, '85, a lover ofbeauty, often expressed his beliefthat: Books and laboratory and thejob are not all. Beyond that is thehope of achievement, the giving ofself for others, and faith in thingsunseen."Blashfield Commissioned to Point Mural

Accord-ingly he wrote to Mr. Blashfield tofind out under what terms he woulddesign and paint a mrural for thenorth wall of the Main Fall ofWalker. Mr. Blashfield replied thathe always wanted to do somethilgfor the Institute and that he would,therefore, gladly comply. Mr. Morssimmediately agreed to assume thecost which ultimately totaled thlou-sands of dollars. The one provisionthat he made was that his partici-pation be kept secret.

Twenty-Four Million ExpenditureThe arrangement is being imple-

mented as a portion of the MutualSecurity Agency Program in Burmafor economic and technical assist-ance. This program calls for anexpenditure of $24,0D0,000 over atwo-year period for educational,agricultural, health and technicalaid projects. Of this amount, thisyear, $1,400,000 will be devoted bythe Burmese government to thepromotion of general and advancededucation.

The association between the In-stitute and the University of Ran-goon will be financed by the M.S.A.This is the first attempt by theAgency under its general programof technical assistance to under-developed countries to enter intothe field of engineering education.Other universities in this countryhave been called upon in a similarmanner to assist in the fields ofscience, public administration, med-icine, and agriculture in universi-ties throughout the Far East.

Professor Visits BurmaRogers B. Finch, Assistant Pro-

fessor of Textile Technology, re-cently returned from a short visitto Burma where he consulted withthe Ministry of Education and theEngineering College as to its im-mediate faculty and equipmentneeds. He has been appointed byPresidefit Killian to serve as theInstitute Advisor in the associa-tion program.

In order to meet the require-ments set by M.S.A. a staff mem-ber should have had at least two-years' teaching experience and theMaster of Science degree or itsequivalent in his field. In additionto his usual annual income, he willreceive an overseas allowance, aliving allowance, a house with fur-nishings supplied by the MutualSecurity Agency staff in Burma,and air travel for himself and hisfamily. Only those faculty mem-bers in the field of soil mechanics,sanitary engineering, electricalpower, communications, heat power,refrigeration, air conditioning, ther-modynamics, or strength of mate-rials are being considered at thistime. The program will be estab-lished at the start of the Engineer-ing College year in the middle ofJune.

The result brings Tech's season'srecord to one tie, and two setbacks.The Beavers will clash with Wes-leyan Friday at Briggs Field at 3:30.The U. S. Coast Guard Academywill provide the opposition for TechSaturday afternoon at 2:00, also ahome game.

FroshTech's Freshman baseball team

was downed by Huntington Schoolof Boston at Briggs Field Wednes-day afternoon. Six errors by theFlosh helped the opposition to gainthe 9-4 triumph. Rush and Hoff-man each banged out two hits tolead Tech's offensive total of eighthits.

The Technology track team willopen its spring season tomorrowafternoon at Brunswick, Me., fac-ing a powerful Bowdoin squad andthe University of Vermont in a tri-angular meet. Although the Bow-doin squad is far from a well bal-anced one, it is well suited for atriangular meet, and thus rates adefinite favorite over both theBeavers and the Vermontmen.

Oscar Hedlund's cindermen shoulddo well in most of the runningevents, but Bowdoin is expected totake a big lead in the pole vault,weight events, and the hurdles,which the Techmen will have dif-ficulty in overcoming. The Bearshave two of the best hurdlers inNew England in Dick Getchell andNew -England high hurdles cham-pion Don Murphy. Getchell is alsoa fairly good broad jumper andquarter miler, while Murphy addeda 4th in the high jump in last year'sNew England Championship.

Beavers Strong on Track

The Institute Trackmen will bankon the running events for most oftheir points. Gordon Milliken ofBowdoin and Chris Geisler andKen Childs of the Beavers makeup an excellent field for the sprints.In the middle distances the Engi-neer runners should have an easytime piling up points, with, GeorgeGrenier, Ian Williams, Clyde Bakerand John Farquhar setting thepace. Chuck Vickers, who set a newinstitute indoor mile record hislast time out, will have captainBob Caswell of Vermont as his chiefcompetition. The two mile shouldbe a close race, with Bill Nicholsonof the Engineers tackling Bowdoin'sTom Damon and Vermont's CliffHunter.

Seffens Aimns af New RecordsBowdoin's Bill Seffens, another

New England champion, will be outto better his school record in thejavelin. His 200-foot throws shouldeasily outclass anything the Wiid-cats and Beavers have to offer, withLee MacDonald of Vermont hisclosest contender. The Bears shouldalso dominate the other weightevents, led by Wood, Flarrinton andAgostinelli. Jerry Rothberg will bethe sole Tech representative, whileDon Remick, Paul Putnam, andfreshmnan Bill Doornbosch are theVermont standouts.

Cousins and Copperthwaite LeadVaulters

Herb Cousins and Bill Copper-thwaite, both consistent 12' per-formers during the indoor season,

7 give Bowdoin a big edge in the polevault. The broad jump should bea wide-open contest, with Getchell,Putnaml and a quartet of engineersbattling it out. Murphy and Ver-

" mont's Fred Boss rank as the top, high jumpers of the meet.

With two New England cham-pions and several leading contend-ers competing, the meet should in-clude several outstanding perform-

ances. Tech will have an ex-Bowdoin man among its runnerstomorrow in Ben Coe, who finishedfourth in the meet last year for theBears, and moved over to the In-stitute this year on the Technology3-2 plan. Bowdoin will enjoy anadditional advantage tomorrow ashost team, since the meet has beenwon by the home team for the lasttwo years.

Briber AnnouncesNew Class Policy

Robert M. Briber, PermanentPresident of the Class of 1952, hasannounced a policy, contrary to thepresent custom of electing a per-manent class president for a life-term. Elections for the office ofPermanent Class President of theClass of 1952 will be held in 1957and again in 1962 as agreed uponby the senior class officers and theAlumni Association.

Briber expressed the hope that aprecedent might be set and thatclasses following might do likewise.He stated that while a majority ofpermanent presidents elected servelong and faithfully, others havesometimes lost interest in the classoffice and the Alumni Association.

Briber also added that as Perma-nent Class President, he would inall likelihood be reelected unless anunsatisfactory job had been per-formed.
