Compulaory Allendanee For years the policy of Worcester Tech has been to have compulsory attendance at all cia es. Atte ndance is taken daily, and students are expected to be in class. There are many arguments in favor of thi ~ plan- important material is covered in class; many assignments are given from day to day ; class quitzcs cannot be announced in most cases. However, a few facts se('rn t () have been overlooked. Since Tech is an engineering college with a heavy curriculum, the student's time i almost completely taken up. furthermore, a t one time or another student u ually fand tbemselvec; with a tremendous amount of work to do over a hort period. lt !leems to me that a situation could possibly nrisc when a student might use his time to better pcrKonal advnntng<' un a few hours or school work during scheduled clm;sroom lime.

Actu31ly h was a return concert since the UConn were our guests on February 15th. The Hecker j unior College Glee Club also made the journey to Connecticut and thus it was possible to have chree club participate in the combined singing. 1\ t 4: 15 P.M . the Worcester delegation ;1rrived at the University. .\her n short rehearsal and "getacquaintt'd" period, supper was served. .\t 8:00 P.:\L the concert began.

FROSHLOSE
GOAT'S HEAD!
Oy JACK MAU.OY
T he crowd at the Tech-Northbasketball game were treated to a spectacular showing of the Goat's Head last Saturday night. The Frosh, in one of the boldest moves ever seen, produced the trophy right in the center of the basketball court between quarters of the game. tunncd momentarily, the Sophomores were quick to react and they raced after the Goat's Head from all corners of the gym. Some second year men were fast enough to cut the Freiihmen off on the first noor. ea.~ tern
A battle royal resulted on the back ~tairway,
with the Frosh and the tro· phy in the middle, and the Sopho· mores on either side.

J.ast week, Tech's track forces W('re defeated by the University of Mass. at Amherst by a score of 64·35. This was the first lime in fnur years that the Redmen could manage a victory over the Engineers. From the opening even t, when Dick Zeleny was edged in the mile by Aldrich or Mass., Tech never had the lead. The Engineers could only manage to win two first places and another tie for first.
Warren Palmer, however, took individual honors for the night by winning the high jump and placing second in both the low and high hurdles, which accoullted for almost one-third of Tech's scoring. Bobby Oram, Tech's shot putter, just about had his own way as he won that event with a heave or 40'J 1" . ln the pole vault, Stan Clevenger lied for first place wilh a jump of II feet. Tn addition to placing second in the mile, Zeleny also took second in the 880 yard run, but he might have ea$ily won both these events if the breaks had turned the other way.
