Attending the two-day conference at the Exeter Inn in Exeter, N. H., were the members of Inscomm, several of the subcommittee heads, and ten representatives of the faculty and administration, including President James R. Killian, Jr. Mr. Grant emphasized the opportunities for leadership that activities and student government provide, stating that a student could gain much valuable experience in this manner. He also said that in many cases, interested alumni could provide ideas and assistance to the activities if they were encouraged. The Saturday afternoon panel sessions considered the major problems-discrimination in fraternities, dormitory de- velopment, and fund raising. The major topic of discussion at the fraternity panel was the recent creation of an IFC Restrictive Clause Committee to aid the fraternities in eliminating any re- strictive clauses in their constitutions. As a result of this move by IFC, it wvas decided that the Inscorem Re- strictive Clause Committee was no longer needed. In addition, the pecul- iar situation of a house with a re- ligious clause was discussed at length. The dormitory development panel outlined possible areas for future ex- pansion in the dormitory system. To a great extent, the idea of a more de- centralized living system, with groups of fifty to a hundred, rather than such groups as Baker or Burton, was agreed upon. Another point of interest that was mentioned was the problem of women students. The Institute has apparently reached the point where a rapid rise in the number of women students must be considered. If this happens, some provision must be made for housing them, and already such places as Senior House or a new dorm- itory have been suggested. The question of one major fund drive, or several lesser ones, and the relationship of se-rwice organizations to student government was the topic of the third afternoon panel. Although no decisions were reached, many ideas were brought up for discussion, in- cluding the parallel between student government and city government, be- tween TCA. and the Community Chest, Kiwanis, or other selvice or- ganization. After Saturday dinner, the confer- ence heard a short address by Presi- dent Killian, during which he an- nounced the formation of a President's Committee, consisting of students, faculty, administration, and alumni, to consider the' problem of long-range dormitory development. This commit- tee would attempt to formulate some permanent plan for future dormitory living.

SENIOR RINGS 11The Class of 1956 rings are out but we can't tell the free ones

from the bought'n ones. Everyone is getting into the act-well,nearly everyone.

The class president and senior ring chairman receive themunder the principle laid down by Institute Committee.

The other members of the ring committee, according to Rich-ard A. Jacobs '56, chairman, have refused to accept the free ringsoffered them by the contractor, Loren-Murchison and Co. Yet, anattempt to confirm these refusals showed that at least one member,Edward Boggs '56, accepted his gift anyhow.

But still further expressions of our good contractor's gener-osity are floating around our incorruptible walls. For "construc-tively criticizing" Murchison's last ring and for furnishing Mur-chison with pictures of the Great Dome--pictures belonging toTechnique-William R. Leitch '56 and R. Gordon Black '56 of theTechnique managing board, have also joined the merry-go-round-and-grab-a-free-ring crowd.

It is high time that Institute Committee made it clear who hasa proper right to accept remuneration from groups dealing withthe student body through their elected officers. Is Inscorem goingto continue winking while supposedly responsible people makewhat personal gain they can out of their public offices? We hopethe next few meetings will tell.

While we are on the topic of rings, we ought to mention thefact that the ring contract, a contract never shown to at least onemember of the committee, guaranteed ring delivery last Friday.The legal beagles in this group, however, who stated publicly thatthis early delivery date was an important factor in Murchison'sselection, neglected to assure delivery by writing a penalty into thenegotiations. We are truly fortunate-we might have received therings next year-or the year after. But of extra special note are thecontract signatures, which for the students are furnished byJacobs, Boggs and one Norene Swasey- perhaps an incognitoagent of the Association of Women Students, but certainly nota committee member.

COMMONS AND THE COMMISSIONIt is now apparent that we have erred in lauding the end of

compulsory commons, for the final approval of the DormitoryDevelopment Committee's recommendation of abolition was noformality-as we thought and stated at that time-and is appar-ently not going to be forthcoming for a while, if at all.

At that time we were led to believe, as were several membersof that group, that the recommendations of the committee werefinal. This was a misunderstanding. For, unpleasant though thedelay is to all of us, such a step must be carefully weighed if it isto be accompanied by any degree of permanence.

To review the commons meals situation in terms of its effecton long-range dormitory and general Institute planning, the Presi-dent has consequently established a commission upon which thestudents shall have representation.

True, this means procrastination. A decision due last fall,postponed to the spring, may now not be forthcoming until thefall. But if we would ensure that a decision to abolish commonsnow will hot be countermanded by a decision to reinstate themthe following year, we must suffer the delay until adequate oppor-tunity for complete discussion is likewise ensured.

We can only hope at this point that the Presidential Commis-sion will concur in our opinion that the obnoxious nature of com-pulsion far outweighs any educational or nutritional virtue whichmandatory commons may have.

OSIRIS IllWe note. with interest the initiation of the new members of

Osiris last Friday, and recall the letter of February 25 in whichthe chairman of that body stated that the issue of secrecy is ofgreat concern to the undergraduate members of Osiris and thatthe whole question will be thorougnly reviewed by the organizationin the immediate future.

We hope that the issue of secrecy is of equally great concernto the new members and that this matter will soon be resolved.

artistic vehicle, is a barometer of thetemperament of the times. She pointedout that until the advent of Ibsen thegreat bulk of the plays written wereof the simple, surface, take-home-a-message Victorian typewritten ex-pressly for the audience of that age.

Mrs. Hellman then went on to tracethe attitude of the playwright throughthe twenties, the thirties, which sheaccredited as being one of the mostbrilliant periods for the AmericanTheatre, and from there through thenext decade and a half, our presenttimes. About this period she was mostgloomy. Defining it as an "anti-intel-lectual" age she claimed for it onlytwo authors of possible historical note-Tennessee Williams and ArthurMiller.

A happier note was struck whenshe went into the topic of the Amer-ican musical comedy. She called thistheatrical "America's contribution. Itis a well-developed, enjoyable, andefficient form of entertainment, andmight be the type of vehicle that willlead us out of our present stage andinto a better era."

This led her into the second part ofher lecture, a preview of her new mus-ical play "Candide", based on Vol-taire's classic with music by LeonardBernstein. Going through the produc-tion scene-by-scene, Mrs. Hellmankept the audience continually laugh-ing and interested with her exceed-ingly funny material. Mr. Titcombplayed and sang along with some ofMr. Bernstein's varied but difficultscore. Most notable part of the pro-gram was a hilarious Gilbert-and-Sullivan type of number in which Mrs.Hellman lets loose at a number ofpresent-day injustices as well as theinquisition of Candide's time.

LOVE IN REVERSEThey were at the campus swimming pool. She was standing on the

diving board-lithe, young, vibrant. He came swimming over. "Hey,''he called, climbing up on the board, "was it you who mnade that divea minute ago?"

She nodded-lithe, young, vibrant."Whew!" he whistled. "That was some dive! A back jackklnife two

and a half twist full gainer swan. Where did you learn to divelike that?"

"I fell off the board," she explained."Oh," he said. He looked at her-lithe, young, vibrant. "Let's go

steady," he said."But I don't know anything about you," she said."What's there to know?" he said. "I'm a typical American college

man-young, healthy, and broke.""That's good enough for me," she said, "for I am not interested if:

money. I.am a girl of simple tastes-lithe, young, vibrant.""Dad!" he whispered."Crazy!" she breathed.Their lips met. Their arms twined. They fell off the board."If you only knew," he said later, as he applied artificial respira-

tion, "how long I have been looking for a lithe, young, vibrant girl ofsimple tastes, for though my heart is large and full of love, my purseis lean and meagre. My cruel father sends me an allowance barelylarge enough to support life. So I have been looking high and low fora girl of simple tastes."

"Search no more," she said. "My tastes are simple; my wants arefew. Just take me riding in a long, sleek, new yellow convertible,and I am content."

"Goodbye," he said and ran away as fast as his chubby little legscould carry him, for he knew this girl was not for the likes of himn.He had neither convertible nor hardtop, nor the money to buy one,nor the means to get the money, short of picking up his stingy fatherby the ankles and shaking hinm till his wallet fell out. No, there wasnothing for it except to forget this girl.

But lying on his pallet at the dormitory, he could not get herout of his mind and finally he knew that whatever the expense, hehad to have her-lithe, young, vibrant.

So he sold a few things-his textbooks, his overcoat, his hi-Y pin,his roommate's truss-and soon he had accumulated a goodly sumn. Hewent to a place that sold automobiles. "How much does it cost," hesaid, "to buy a yellow co'ivertible automobile?"

"Ten dollars a day, plus seven cents a mile," said the man."Done and done," said our hero, and soon he drove away in a long,

ExtendDr. Vernon D. Tate, Director of the

Libraries, has announced a new tenta-tive schedule for library hours. How-ever there is a "hooker"; to quote Dr.Tate, the whole plan rests on whetherenough student personnel can be se-cured for the. new hours. Dr. Taterealizes that such help might be diffi-cult to acquire at this time of theschool year, but additional personnelis necessary in order to expand thepresent hours. These hours will gointo effect on Saturday, April 23 ifsufficient personnel is available. No-tices will be posted if the plans gothrough.

The tentative schedule reads as fol-lows: Science Library will operate onits present schedule. Music Library,presently open- week days from 9 a.m.to 9 p.m. would stay open from 9 a.m.to 10:50 p.m. The library will stayopen from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Satur-day instead of the present scheduleof 9 to 4. On Sunday the hours willbe from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. instead of2 to 5.

The General Humanities Librarywill be open from 9 to 10:50 insteadof the present 9 to 9. On Saturday thelibrary hours will be from 9 a.m. to6 p.m., under the present system itcloses at 4 p.m. Presently the GeneralLibrary is not open on Sunday at all,the new schedule calls for hours ofi p.m. to 9 p.m.

There will be no change in the week-day hours of the Humanities ReserveBook Room which are now 9 a.m. to10:50 p.m. On Saturday the hours willbe extended to 6 p.m., they are nowfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday hoursare also to be revised, they will befrom I p.m. to 9 p.m., presently thelibrary's hours are from 2-5 on Sun-day.

These rearrangements will bringabout uniformity in the schedules ofall the libraries in the Hayden LibraryBuilding. At any time that one libraryis open they all are open.

Lillian Hellman LecturesO n Philosophy Of Th ea tre

A philosophy of the theatre and a detailed preview of an unusual produc-tion were the two treats received by the hundred-odd people who came to hearMrs. Lillian Hellman speak last Monday night. The pro-ram, given in theLittle Theatre in Kresge Auditorium, was presented by the Dramashop as thefirst in a series of lectures concerning the arts. Mrs. Hellman, in the latter partof her talk, was assisted by pianist John Titcomb.

Mrs. Hellman's opening remarks served as a rather broad outline of thehistory of modern drama. She contended that the theatre, more than any other

At present there are ten fraterni-ties having restrictive clauses at MIT.Eight of these desire to remove theirclauses; the single religious fratern-ity feels its clause is justified; onewishes to retain its clause.

In an article in the FraternityTimes distributed at the meetingLuhzmann wrote, "Those who wish tosee the clauses removed must alwaysremember, however, that we in NewEngland have different attitudes to-ward minority groups than the rest ofthe country.

Still after their initial victory ofthe season, the Beaver batsmen tookthe field against Brandeis and Worces-ter Poly on consecutive afternoonslast weekend. The Merrittmen wereunsuccessful in their quest as theyplayed a nine inning 6 to 6 tie withBrandeis in a game which was calleddue to darkness, and came out on theshort end of a 3 to 1 score in thegame with WPI.

In the Brandeis encounter, playedin Waltham on Friday afternoon, theEngineers were constantly playingunder pressure as they fought backto overcome 2 to 0, 5 to 3, and 6 to 5scores at various stages of the game.As has generally been the case thusfar this spring, the Techmen hit theopposing pitching well as they gar-nered 10 hits as opposed to 9 forBrandeis. Both teams were sloppyafield as they committed ten errorsapiece. The Merrittmen took advant-age of two of the home team's errorsin their only two run inning, theseventh, in which second basemanJohn Sullivan '56, and outfielder EdNewhall '56, combined back-to-backsingles with two Brandeis misplays.Newhall continued to earn himself thetitle of "surprise of the year", be-stowed upon him by Coach Roy Mer-ritt, as he got 3 hits for 4 times atbat to raise his batting average to ahealthy .460.

The WPI game, played at BriggsField, Saturday afternoon, was term-ed by Merritt as "one of the finestpitched games since baseball wastaken up here at Tech." Tech man-aged to get 10 hits off the visitors'pitcher, Leickanen, but the Polytwirler excelled in the clutch. DickSkavdahl '56 held WPI to four hitsand struck out eight, but his 6 walksgave him trouble.

Last weekend the MIT varsity ten-nis team lost a close contest to Rens-selaer and was thoroughly trouncedby Harvard. The RPI match was con-cluded under conditions resemnblingtotal darkness, as Gil Strang '55 andDick McLaughlin '57 lost their doublesmatch in the third set. It might beadded that it was so dark that lines-men were being used to determinewhether serves were good or not, andeven they had difficulty in seeing theball. Once RPI had clinched the match,Rae Morales '55 and Frank Jaramilio'55 stopped playing theirs, concedingto the visiting players. Tech's vic-tories were recorded by Rene Mendesde Leon '55 and IDon Steig '55 playingin the number three and six singlesspots, and by Mendes de Leon andCaptain Al Hahn '56 in the numberone doubles match. It was a toughdefeat for the racqueteers as Hahn,Jaramillo, and Strang were all beatenin close three set contests.

The team plays Bowdoin on Satur-day and Williams next Tuesday, bothon Tcchl's home courts.

Six MIT crews open their 1955 sea-sons with the traditional CharlesRiver Championships tomorrow. Har-vard and Boston University and Syra-cuse will be the heavyweight oppon-ents, Harvard will be the first light-weight opponent.

Highlighting the six race programwill be the appearance of the lightvarsity in its first race as it movestoward its defense of the EARC andHenley crowns, the first appearanceof this year's highly touted froshboat, and, of course the feature threeteam varsity heavy battle.

Back injuries to strokemen EricTheis '56 and Jim Hamblet '56 haveleft the varsity without an experi-enced man in this vital spot. LenGlaeser '57, one of five probable start-ing sophomores, will stroke the var-sity. The much improved boat willcede Harvard an edge in conditioningand practice which must be made upwith spirit and determination.

sonal antagonism towards discrimina-tion, and congratulated student gov-ernment for its work in the field.

The Sunday morning panels con-sidered the questions of a StudentAlumni Center at MIT, and of thecumulative rating system. The ideathat the Student Union Committeeshould devote more time to publiciz-ing the building among alumni wasmade. and several areas fox operationduring the coming year were sug-gested. In the other panel, it was gen-erally agreed that the cumulative rat-ing system was not the ideal methodof grading a student, but re concretesuggestion for improvement weremade. It was felt, however, that morecredit should be given a student forhis activities.

Activities and student-faculty rela-tionships were the topics on Sundayafternoon. The panel considering therelationship of student government tothe activities made several sugges-tions as to how the Activities Councilcould promote activities at the Insti-tute. Perhaps the most significant ofthese was the thought that incomingfreshmen should be made to under-stand that the school encouraged ex-tracurricular activities. This could bedone by a letter or brochure sent thefreshmen before they came to Cam-bridge.

The position of the student-facultycommittee and the newly-formed liai-son committee were the main topicsin the other panel. Since the liaisoncommittee has been set up to bringstudent and faculty ideas together,much of the purpose of the old Stu-dent-Faculty Committee has beentransferred to the new group. How-ever, the Student-Faculty Committeecan still do much work in the areasof freshman mixers, poll-taking, andinstructor evaluation.

In general, the conference reachedno concrete solutions to the problemsfacing student government, but it didgive the faculty and administrationart opportunity to discuss these prob-lems with the Institute Committee.This, coupled with the closer personalcontact possible at such a conference,helped to make the affair a success.

Getz Sextet(Continued from Page 1)

the outstanding jazz combos in thebusiness. The sound was fresh andnew, the ideas were clever and unique,and the execution was flawless. Par-ticularly outstanding were a fewphrases in which Stan's tenor sax wasriffing on the theme while Sunkle'strumpet and Brookmeyer's trombonewere counter-pointing the harmony.The three men fit well, and as they fittheir styles more closely the groupshould really carve itself a secureplace in the modern jazz idiom.

Backing the smooth and controlledharmony of the front line was anexcellent rhythm section. John Wil-liams played a colorful piano with anoutstanding flair for showmanshipthrown in for good measure. TeddyKodick handled the bass well, andtook off on some swinging solos ofhis own. And Frank Isola's drumbacking was well done, althoughsomewhat too noticeable at times. Histempo was perfect, however, and hehandled some tricky off-beat percus-sion with fine technique.

All in all, the Stan Getz sextet is aband well wolrth taking in, and willcontinue to improve. Anyone who en-joys a fresh sound and some interest-ing ideas could do a lot worse thantaking in Stan Getz during his pres-ent Boston stay.
