Team Upsets 'f rinity for Win One

··Fortune may have yet a better success in reserve for you, and they who lose today may win tomorrow." And so said the infamous )liguel de Cer vantes in his Don Quixote de La tMncha.

Last Tuesday these very words could have fliltlngly been applied to Tech's winless lacrosse team as they continued their losing ways, coming out on a 6·2 short end to

Tufts. As has been their perennial difficulty, Tech showed neither teamwork nor a coordinated at· tack. From the outset play seemed both haphazard and ragged, with the sheer hustle of Leo DuBlois standing out as the sole bright spot on a dreary afternoon.

But as if some god had taken pity, last Saturday at 2:30 on the (Continued on Page 7)

TECH LOSES IN GE B·O WL With a ftourish of trumpets, the pomp and pagaenlry or a military band, and three·hundred pounds of books. the College Bowl team left for New York. Witnessing their departure were many school of· ficials, the Skull, and a hundred curious students. With Professor Louis Onorato driving, the team, alternates and coaches left for the Savoy Hilton in New York-courtesy of General Electric.

On arrival. the scholars settled down for a half-hour of Bullwinkle Moose. Arter the great inspiration the team decided to eat fancy.

After being turned away at a snotty restaurant for a mere lack of reservations, the humbled scholars went to McGuinnis', where the headwaiter was properly impressed with the pilgrims from Worcester.

After thoroughly gorging them· selves at the expense of General Electric, the group ventured on to Broadway. Here a mild disagree· menl came to the surface with a difference of opin ion as to which theatre to grace with the attend· ancc of national television stars.

Gary Goshgarian , Steve O'Brian, Greg Blackburn, and Louis Wargo decided on the Richard Burton ver· slon of 'H•mlet." Properly snowing the box office with their fame, they gained possesion of four first row seats, courtesy-General Electric. In describing the play as "magnificient, superb" and just about every imaginable superlative, Gosh seemed thoroughly im· pressed. He also informed the TECH NEWS that he counted the diversion as "scabbing" for the show and that while he sat . but 15 feet from Richard Burton a ~reater treat awaited him outside, Elizabeth Taylor . She was also described in all manners of super· Ia lives.

Meanwhile Dennis Simanaitis, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Onorato decided to view "Dylan." Apparently not as good with the tongue and wit, they were forced to sit back a few rows. Their official rating--excel· lent productJon. At this point the team decided to eat again, at a hot dog stand, at their own expense. After a tradi· tional American meal the men set· tled down to the late movie and s leep.

Meanwhile, back at Tech, reinforcements were mounting for a final assault on New York. Led

by Prof. Corey, Dr. Atwood, Dr. Kranich, and Mr. Wonka, eighty students of W.P.I. left by bus on Sunday morning for New York.

Organized by Phil Baker, the ll'ip was 8nanced and sponsored by the school public relations department.

Back in the city, some were praying, some were watching cartoons, some were cramming. At noon everyone went to N.B.C. to prepare for the show. First a meet· lng with Robert Earle, host of the show. He gave both teams import· ant hints on playing the game.

Both squads then went with the director and host to the English Room in Rockefeller Plaza for Lunch. During lunch they watched the skaters and tried to relax.

Alter lunch the rehearsing began for the show. Three practice mat· ches were staged with instructions and suggestions given to both teams during the games. At this (Continued on Pat• 7)

National Audience Sees /IT Narrowly Beat Tech "Truly, this was their finest hour." The wordo; of Winston Churchill were no more appro· priate Cor the people of Britain in World War II than they are to· day for Worcester Tech's College Bowl Team. Although they lost, it was close to the flni sh when a series of bad breaks gave the vic· tory to lllinois institute of Technology.

Illinois was represented by four young men with similar strong background~ in science and math.

Contrasting with this was the I.I.T. production. While it naturally showed the school's facilities, the film and its narrator emphasized the school's philosophy of tempering science and engineering with liberal arts.

The game opened with I.I.T. taking an early lead of ftfty.flvc to minus five by winning the three initial tossups.

Editorial An Unselfish Approach A motion recently made in a closed door Inter-Fraternity Council meeting proposes to forbid fraternities from housing high school students who visit Tech for interviews with the Admissions Office and the Athletic Department. The motion, watered down to one proposing equal distribution of freshmen among all houses, now awaits discussion by the Athletic Council, the Athletic Department and, we hope, the Admis· sjons Office.

We feel that this motion is an over-stepping of power on the part of the I. F. Council. The Council, though it does govern Tech's fraternities, does not have the right to legislate in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of W. P. I. This may be the case here.

The recruiting program, as stated by Coach Pritchard, has its problems with funds for scholarships as opposed to some of its competing schools. To further hinder the program is outrageous. The question is whether this new rule would hin· der the program. We feel this question can be answered by the I. F. Council (with an unbiased approach and with heavy consideration placed on the recommendations of the Admis· sions Office and the Athletic Department.)

Can the I. F . Council act in an unselfish manner? Certainly there are inequalities apparent everywhere on our own campus-in fraternity activity domination, in rushing practices, and in fraternity competition. These inequalities are inherent in a system such as ours, and myriads of rules and laws will never dispel them. Everyone wishes they were non· existent, but idealism and practicality are often far removed.

When a question arises concerning affairs that pertain to the overall benefit of the school, the best approach is an unbjased one. When the I. F. Council feels that, even with its selfish "everything for my house" approach, it can legislate rules concerning school-wide problems, it is time to evaluate that organization's usefulness.

We hope those m power take a firm stand and decide, be it the old method of housing or the new rotational basis, what is best for Worcester Tech. It would be a shame to see the campus ruled by a majority vote of the "greedy ten".

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To Tho Editor:

Last weeks issue of the Tech News contained an interview with Coach Pritchard concerning the proposed rule forbidding the var ious fraternities to house high school students who are visiting Tech for interviews with the Ad· missions Oftice or the Athletic Department. Having originally placed this rule before the Council, I feel that I should answer some of Coach Pritchard's statements.

The Interfraternity Council felt that the rule just mentioned was a little too strong and changed it to read that fraternities shall be permitted to provide room or board for these persons on a rotating basis to be set up by the Council, each house given equal representation. Coach Pritchard questioned the right of the I.F. Council to enact such a rule, because at the lime when most of these hjgh school students are visiting Tech, few are already admitted to the college, and many have not even applied ns yet. This question was put forth . '·How can the Council say then that these men are to be governed by their rules?" The an· swer is that the fraternities are the group which is actually being governed, and t he Council has the right to make any rule it wants to regulate fraternities which is de· signed to promote a fair and equal rush for each and every fraternity.

Coach Pritchard also stated that these visiting athletes are interested in talking to college athletes, and that, "by having them stay at a fraternity where there is a lack of athletes in the membership, they will have nothing in common and the prospective student could be turned away from coming to Tech." All I can say to this is that if the visiting athlete has nothing in common with a Tech student besides athletics, then he couldn't be a very well rounded person, and Tech shouldn't even be interested In him.

With regard to the recruiting program as presently followed Coach Pritchard said, "The objection to this system we now use, stems fi'Om the fact that only a few fraternities are involved and this perhaps has given them an unfair advantage." He went on to say, "This we feel could be true and frankly wish it were otherwise.

However, certain fraternities are selected only because Tech's ath· letes, as a whole, are bunched in these few fraternities." I frankly feel this is true, and also feel that it can be otherwise! Maybe by housing these visiting students on a purely rotational basis as set up by the I.F. Council this problem of "bunching" of athletes in two or three fraternities will be eliminated, and the problem we are now involved in will cease to exist in several years. 1 feel that these changes can be made without ser· lously affecting Tech's athletic program, for as I mentioned previously, If we cannot sell a person on the whole school, then we shouldn't bother trying to sell him at all. 1 honestly feel that every fraternity on campus has the ability to convince a person that Tech should be t he school of his choice.

Whether It Is realized by the adsociation of Wor cester P olytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass.

With the inauguration of a new president, time-honored Yale Uni· versity uncovered several unusual problems which can be considered uncharacteristic to a school with its marble traditions and background. One of the major skepticisms at the school is what appears to be an over-emphasis of intel· lectual qualities. This is reflected in the current predicament of the eight secret senior societies on campus. More and more students are simply not interested in join· ing them. The SKULL and BONES, which is the oldest of the societies has had trouble finding fif. teen top seniors willing to join while one of the newer organiza. lions, called the Manuscript is proudly intellectual and extremely popular. Some of the older so· cieties have gained a little prestige by eliminating some of their Edwardian rituals and mysteriousness and adopting a program of serious discussion. The most surprising discovery was t hat one of the societies had gone coed. It Js named th e Vaya, (probably an in· dication of the two schools which supply membership, Vassar and Yale), and is composed of seven Yale men and seven Vassar girls who meet at least once a week at some secret hideaway, believed to be located about halfway between both schools. These condtions could very well initiate an overall renovation In admission and curriculum policies.

Students at Colby College have turned the tables a little on ac"ep1ed dating etiquette by holding a "Sadie Hawkins" day on t heir campus. On this day any man who was not "hitched to man, woman an.imule or post" could expect to be pursued by any or all of the female population of the school.

The girls were r equired to ask the boys for dates, get them a corsage, call for them at their place of res· idence, and pay all expenses for the entire day. "Dog-birding" was explicitly forbidden . The day ended with a dinner, dance and the electjon of an all-campus L'il Abner.

A paper has been presented be· fore t he Association for Higher Education r ecommending the pol· icy of colleges and universities operating on a year-r ound basis.

The authors of the paper, who are ministration or not a big !actor In a high school senior's choice of college Is the athletic pro~tram of the college. Also It could be said that athletics (BP performance) have an eUect on alumni donations. It seems strange, therefore, that there is no room now In this massJve plan for the Hockey Club. You could easily say "let wait until a rink can be built on campus before granting the club the recognJtlon lt deserves."

But I say "do it now" !or now Is a critical time for the club.

The team Is young and just fi nished with a great season. Varsity status could provide the added impetus to make the team consistently good.

both professors of higher educalion at Florida State University stated that a year-round campus operation may become a necessity in years to come. They believe that this system is the only con· ceivable way to deal with threats of incr easing college enrollments.

The authors also said that students Involved in such a program will be more inc1ined to exhibit a seriousness of purpose and refrain from participation in extra-curri· cular activities due to the intensi· fled academic program. This sys· tern, however, is not without its drawbacks. Problems of persuading faculty members to work at school during the summer months, organ· izing pay scales and distributing appropriate work loads, will be only a few of the wrinkles within the schools t hemselves. Within the area of student problems, major difficulties will lie in transferring f rom one institution to another and in the students adjustment to the intensified pressures or an academic program uninterrupted by a long relleving vacation. In· creased financial problems due to more tuition and dorm fees and the impossibility of full time summer employment may also result.

A recent advertisement in the classified section of a San Fran· cisco newspaper might have ap· peared as the following: For rent-entire college campus. dormitories and buildings.

As surprising as it may seem. the pre5ident of Shimer College was altogether serious in his de· sire to lease the campus of that school during the summer months.

He did not expect, however, to be confronted with an offer (rom the secretary of the Perfect Christian Devine Way Inc. to lease the pro· perty for seven weeks in order to hold a nation wide nudist conven· tion. The gathering was described by t he organiution official as be· lng "somewh'at nudesworthy". Af· ter carefully consider ing the lay· out of the campus (it is situated on two busy highways and lacks protective shrubbery of any kind) the president stated that although he disapproves of any form of dis· crimination against anyone. he did not feel that his college would be an appropriate place for the nudists and finally rejected the offer.

It Is amazing tbat interest In the sport is growing especially with the schedule as it is. Games are at varied times usually late at night. Practice ti1me Is almost non exlstant, because of limited funds.

Not grantlng the club varsity status could create a morale prob· lem on tbe squad. This could mean the end of all the progress that has been made to date.

I sincerely hope that the A.A. reconsiders it's decision not to make hockey a varsity sport. In the best interests of both, the student body and the school, I believe they have made the w Tolll decision.

LARRY HULL performed more than adequately Its procedural duties. The Assembly program has improved, in spite of some disappointing audiences. The Tech News, with its statements !rom the candidates in the Tech Senate election, has helped to bring a greater political awareness to the average student.

Several Senate members have come to realize the unsatisfied potential that characterizes the Tech Senate. Worcester Tech is in a period of growth and change, which necessitates a more active student government. This trend bas been Initiated, but is is only a start.

ist artists, as Mone, depicted the color white as being composed of many colors and did so by blend· ing several colors onto white. This freedom of color gave them breadth, deeper character repre· sentation, and brought them clos· er to r eality.

Other artists mentioned in the slides included Zazan, Godan, At· kins, and John Singer Sargent.

At the auditorium itseli were thirty plus paintings ranging from post Civil War period to present day works. The paintings were on exhibit from 11:00 to 5:0:> o'clock.

The paintings included in the ex· hibit were masterpieces of such masters as Pablo Picasso, "Cir· cus;" John Singer Sargent, "Dere· licts;" Auguste Rodin, "Nude Figure;'' and Diego Rivera , "Mexican Woman."

At 4 :00 o'clock, a much noted art critic, Mr. John Murphy, discussed the paintings individually and pointed out the styles, moods, meanings, and backgrounds of the works and their artists.

In Mr. Murphy's talk, it was pointed out. that the artist uses meaning (if he uses meaning) only £or feeling . He went on to say that there are only two important cri· t erion for a good painting: it "must offer a pleasurable sensa· tlon to the eye;" and it must, "create a mood that makes us re· spond by association and sensation."

Mr. Murphy went on to inter· pret the thirty or so paintings in the auditorium using the two im· portant criter ion mentioned above as the basis. In "Sleep" by Anton Mauve, a Dutch Artist, it was pointed out that Realists like to leave a lot of extra space on the canvas. This, according to the Real· ist, creates sensations that are pleasurable to the eye and these sensations make us respond by as· sociation.

Another artist mentioned was the sculptor, Rodin. "Particularly Interesting to note," said Mr. Mur· phy, " was that Rodin's paintings are masterpieces of very soft, flat drawings." The delicate atmosphere created Is surprising when one considers lhe magnificent hard sculptures done by Rodin.

But on art in general, art critic Murphy stressed that, "art is not to repeat nature." Art may be visual and have meaning, but (as in many paintings today) art may be abstract and convey only a feeling or mood.

On the very famous Pablo Picas· so, it was pointed out that the Spaniard was a Cubist. A Cubist tries to fragment nature or his subject in order to attain a transparency of image. "This is done," explained Mr. Murphy "because the artist tries to construct something beautiful and not just re· produce something of nature.''

This effect that the Cubist tries to creat r esults in a distortion of the picture or of the image such as the face. And distortion is, "pr obably lhe most effective method in art," said Mr. Murphy.

Prof. Beschle continued, "And certainly a man with education in both these fields will be in greatet· demand." He noted that job offers for people with a biomedical background are "considerably higher." The prospects for such a background are continually improving according to him, and hence his study In biology.

In discussing the planned formation of an active chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Prof. Beschle admitted he " wasn't awfully excited about it." He stated "that it will probably be a good organization here for the school and lor the staff." He felt that "most people who work here are reasonably happy; It's not that there aren't complaints, there are always complaints, but I think that most people are here because they like to teach here." He did imagine that the organization would put "some pressure" on the admlnlstratlon. The possibility of the AAUP providing a "forum for discussion" of education topics was a probable result according to Prof. Beschle.

In considering a faculty lounge, he thought It would be a "good idea" but "couldn't predict whether It would pan out." He felt this wouldn't draw the gToup. He noted that many of the faculty are engaged In some type of " pet project," and that "they (faculty) are awfully hard to pry away from this for something that sounds social." He said, " I don't

Prof. Beschle also commented about fratetnltles. When asked about the social values, he said, " I think you can hardly deny the fraternity has some beneficial effects socially," but he felt, "!raternltles sometimes use this argument excessively." " On the overall scope," be said, "In general I think they' re good and I think it's good Tech has them, and we certalnly get a lot of benefits from th&.'D." But he noted that in some instances fraternities injure their own images, as in the blocking of roads during rushing. He fe lt that fraternities should consider there some definitely anti-fraternity factions on campus, and "that they ought always to be thinking that whatever they do may have a big effect on whether they exist or not, and therefore they should always be on their best behavior."

The llnal topic mentioned was courses offered by the school and and also courses required by the school. He said, "I see nothing wrong with the students putting pressure (on the administra· Uon) in terms of asking or petitioning for any course.'' He stressed three factors to be con(Continued on

TECH BRILLIANT IN COAST GUARD UPSET

Last Thursday, at a special meeting of the executive council of the W.P.I.A.A., the motion to make the Hockey Club a varsity sport was defeated. This came as a shock to many people, especially those who had played with the team this season and helped it on the way to the finals of the playoffs.

In examining the situation it is difficult to find a cause or a group of causes to explain why the petition of the hockey team was denied. One of the most prevalent fears is that this sport would run into the difficulties that confronted the lacrosse team. Tech's lacrosse squad had shown an excellent record and bad even been undefeated for one season prior to their elevation to varsity status and since that time (five years) until last week bad gone without a win. This truly is a matter of concern; however, it is unfair to make the comparison with hockey. Irregardless, the hockey players have shown for the past two seasons that they can compete favorably with such colleges as M.I.T., Holy Cross and Wesleyan.

Another worry was the expense of supporting another varsity team; but this is not the worry of the A.A. but of the president's committee. A further concern is the pending enforcement of the NCAA rule that states no frosh can compete in on a varsity team. Prof. Prichard, chairman of the council, expressed the view that there were not a sufficient number of candidates to support a frosh squad as well as a varsity.

Whatever the final reasons for the decision were, its effects will probably be seen in the performance of the hockey team next season. It is generally admitted that the greatest asset of a sporting team is its spirit; without it, the best of teams will fail and with it the underdogs can emerge victorious. Throughout the whole winter season the Hockey Club put forth its best effort in the hope that they would be granted the varsity recognition that had been sought for over five years. Is there now any chance that they will ever gain recognition if the record that was achieved this year was not good enough to sway the opinions of those who vote on the council?

It was agreed that it might be best to wait and see if the hockey record would be improved upon. There is a. prevalent attitude among the faculty that the students will be here for only four years and as such can be outwaited. So the A.A. will wait and inevitably the hockey team will come up a poor season and then they can say that their action was justified. REH

Last Saturday Worcester Tech's Trackmen edged Coast Guard by five points to preseve Tech's track record of eight wins and one tie in the last nine dual meets. The tracksters, full of spirit, took to the field to meet a strong Coast Guard team which had romped over Trinity the week before, breaking Trinity's two-year streak.

The meet proved to be exciting with the lead changing hands several times dul"ing the afternoon .

It was not until the final event that victory could be certain for eithe.r learn.

With only two events remaining -the 330 yard intermediate hur· dies and the hop, step, and jump -Coast Guard was leading Tech 61 to 54. Bob Hawes, who also won the quarter mile with an excellent time of 50.1 seconds, paced the trackmen to a sweep in the inter· mediate hurdles. Dean White and Bud West supplemented Hawes' winning effort by taking second and third in the hurdles.

The finishing touch to the sec· ond victory of the season came

when Todd Varnurn broke his own hop, step and jump record to win that event. At the start of the last event Tech needed, at least, a sec· ond to clinch the meet. Varnum, a senior, came through with a spectacular leap of 43 feet, 41h inches to better the previous re· cord by over three feet. In another Jumping event, AI Potvin copped the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet, 4Yl inches.

In the dashes the Tech sprinters had the winning combination of Captain John Czarneicki, Brian Sinder and Ray Jaques, who swept both the 100 and 220 yard dashes.

Sinder took the hundred in 10.2 seconds while Czarneicki won the 220 in 21.7 seconds. To complete the sweep, Jaques placed third in both dashes.

The half-mile was taken by fr esh· man John Turick with a time of 1:59.4.

Techmen took firsts in all three weight events. Paul Giusti took the shot put with a heave of 44 feet, 9 Y.! inches. AI Giannotti challenged the discus record as be won with a toss of 130 feet, 4Ih inches.

TECH NINE SPLIT

Co-captain Dave Helming neatly winged the javelin to a distance of 172 feet, 8~ inches to win that event. The only other place for the home team in the weight ev· ents was a second in the javelin

by Wilson.

Billy Wandie took a third in the quarter mile. Geiger and Roche placed second and third behind Sommers of Coast Guard who won the high jump in 5 feet, 10 inches.

Tech also picked up a point in the polt vault as DeVileg placed third.

The Coast Guard tracksters swept three events-the 120 yard high hurdles in 15.8 seconds and both long distance races. Faurot of Coast Guard not only won the mlle run in 4 minutes, 34 seconds, but also demonstrated outstanding running ability in the two mile.

During the two mile run spectators were amazed as they watched Faurot, an excellent cross country runner, continually run back and forth among the pack urging his teammates on. His prodding and strategy proved good as three Coast Guard men swept the dist· ance event.

Together they combined to whiff four batters and walk eight.
