Fr. Graham Speaks
On1 World Morality
Political Observer.4At UN
Sees Rise Of Individual
A discussion under the title,
"World Organization and the Problem of World Morality,"' was presented by Rev. Robert A. Graham,
under Lecture Series Committee
sponsorship Wednesday afternoon
in Room 1-190 at 5:00 P.M. Fr.
Graham is contributing editor for
the magazine "America," and covered the San Francisco and London
conferences.
The theme of Fr. Graham's discourse is the shift of world political
attitudes toward a more moral approach. The charter of the United
Nations contains the phrase "human rights and fundamental free-.
doms," at least eight times.
In
that organization a special committee has been set up to guard the
basic freedoms of man.
Fr. Graham sees the rise of the
power of the individual and the
strength of his voice. This trend
can find witness in the British actions in India and -the reforms
brought about in Belgium Congo.
It was the sheer weight of public
opinion that brought about these
events.
Another important political trend.
pointed out is the increased participation of the church in secular
aff airs. After having served the
purpose of rallying the nation together in time of war, the several
churches have continued to wield
a great influence through their insilstence of the placing of the human
and ethical standards directly into
the UNO constitution.

volved in approving the great number of sites proposed for airports
in the current expansion of Massa-
chusetts flying facilities. In par,
ticular, the economic and political
factors involved in choosing fields
in the Boston area were discussed
in detail. The zoning system used
il this state offers the principal
difficulty in picking airport sites.
Future plans for airport construc
tion in Massachusetts should, with
federal financial aid, result in the
construction of 90 fields in this
state within the next few years.
The CAA, the Aeronautics Commission, and the State Planning Board
are the organizations concerned
with this planning.
Mr. Collie concluded his lecture
by answering questions from the
floor on the subject of airport construction.

The Plot Thickens
To throw a file in the gears, Horace's daughter, Alexandra (Catherine M. Sponable, G), brings her
father home and it is not long before he discovers the theft. In
spite of Regina's threats he still
refuses to put up the money, and
says he would not disclose the theft
as he wants no part of his wife's
schemes. In a fit of revenge, Regina
makes no effort to get Horace's
medicine'when he has an attack,
and due to her, he dies.
The plot surrounding Regina
thickens when she threatens to reveal the theft and attempts to
blackmail her brothers. Alexandra,
disgusted with her mother's actions,
refuses to have anything to do with
her, and alone, Regina has to face
the wrath of her brothers who have
an inkling of the way death came
to Horace.

Regina's husband, Horace (Donald Pearson, 2-48), is very ill in the

The Tech Bids Goodbye;
To Be Idle This Summer
With the Spring term drawing to a close, the activities of
THE TECH willwind up with this
issue. We have unfortunately
been forced to cancel our issue
for next week, as the Memorial
Day holiday prevents our printers from meeting the schedule.
Contrary to an rumors, the
staff of THE TECH is not enxempt
from exams, so we will be subStitUting our Burington's and
slide rules for our style books
and typewriters the final week
of the term.
Finally, the staff has agreed
that a summer vacation would
be a pretty good idea, so the
presses will be stopped for the
warm months. We will, hewever, be out on schedule with
our regular issue, October 4. So
long, for a while, and dont forget us while we're away.

From a Techman's standpoint these are the only consequences of the strike, but what about all of industry, which is
so vitally dependent on the railroads as the lifelines of America?
The steelworkers and autoworkers have suffered more perhaps
than ary cther groups during these recent strikes.
They have
been forced to lay off the job because of lack of materialsbecause there has been no one to bring them these materials.
Wrhat about the public in general, and, more important,
those across the seas, who must have the railroads to bring them
food? Must they suffer because a few hundred thousand men
are not altruistic enough to compromise and perhaps continue
working while negotiations get under way?
Admittedly the railroad men do have their side of the argu-
ment; they are no more selfish than we. The blame cannot all
be thrown onL them. At least, then, let us have administrators
who are far-sighted and intelligent enough to make use of the
five-day truce and clear the situation up before it can do their.
country any real harm.e
TU RNABOUT
We had been planning to save this space to commend the
officers of the Class of 2-48 on their un-Technology-like initiative in attempting to present a big dance, and well they deserve
praise. Their novel posters and publicity were unusual and
eye-catching, but it is too bad that the old bugaboo of student
disinterest caused the whole campaign to backfire and forced
them to cancel the dance. It is even more unfortunate that
the Sophomores could not follow the lead of their elected officers
and support the affair.
Thus instead of praising the Sophomore Class officers, we
will have to do a turnabout and devote these few inches to our
bi weekly dissertation on the shameful lack of spirit at Technology. An editorial of this nature is difficult to wrrite and we
don't enjoy the job. Many will consider this trite or banal,
and many may have stopped reading already. But, whenever
we hear of such a testimonial to Technology's apathy we can't
pass the issue up without saying something about it. This
column gives us an opportunity to -blow off a little steam, and
if it had any effect we would have fewer of these things to write.
Don't give us an excuse for writing another one.

For reasons of our own, we have I
always been a little prejudiced for
Technology publications of any sort
(even Voo Doo, on occasions), so the
Spotlight for this last issue of the
term has little trouble focusing itself on one Of their outstanding
proponents at the present time, Edward L. Belcher.
Ed's life has been novel in many
respects. He was born in Plymouth,
Massachusetts, in March, 1926, and
actually stayed there all his life.
He has never been on the staff of
Voo Doo; and while in the past years
many men started as civilians in
Technology and finished with the
blessing of Uncle Sam's Navy, Ed
began as a V-12'er and is graduating this June under the auspices of
Mr. Belcher, Sr. But that is get- I
ting ahead of our story.

Dear Sir:
I think your idea of discussing

Perhaps your work will encourage

2,500 Students Bob Jacks Heads
Alpha Chi Sigma
Here in Summer Elections Held At Last
Letters
According to the registrar's office
2500 students are expected to attend the Institute during its summer session beginning Monday,
June 17. There are now 2890 persons studying at Technology, but
this does not mean that only 390
carefree souls are taking a muchneeded vacation this summer. The
discrepancy in the numbers is due
to the fact that many students will
be taking a rest over the summer
months, but many veterans will be
returning to the Institute to fill the
vacancies.
Professor B. Alden Thresher, Dir ector of Admissions, reports that
his office is still receiving close to
3G0 letters weekly, and that they
are sending out approximately 1500
catalogues every week in reply to
new inquiries. He says that the
peak has been passed, but that the
mail is still exceedingly heavy.
The fall term enrollment will be
just about double that of the summer with an estimated 4400 students expected to be registered. The
Institute will be operating at full
capacity as this will be the largest
number of persons ever handled
here. Each class-freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, and Graduate
-will be apportioned roughly 900
nien; and half of the total enrollnient will be World War II veterans.
Meeting Of This Term
Robert L. Jacks, G. was elected
Master Alchemist of Alpha Chi
Sigma, national chemical fraternity, for the summer term at the
Society's closing business meeting
of the term, on Tuesday evening,
May 21. Jack L. IMohr, 2-47, was
chosen Vice-Master Alchemist.
Other students elected to managing posts were Richard P. Welcher,
G. Master of Ceremonies; Rodman
Jenkins, 9-46, Reporter; J. H. Dedrick, G, Recorder; and James J.
Ryan, G. Chairman of the entertainment committee.
On Wednesday evening, May 22,
the members were entertained at
Simmons College by the girls of the
Simmons Science Club. In true
spirit the boys were defeated in a
softball game, and then dived into
a barbecue consisting of hot dogs,
potato chips, and the like. Official
festivities were finished off by a
few rounds of college songs.
A social meeting of the chapter
was held last week in the Moore
Room, Building 6, with a number of
outside guests invited to enjoy the
party and hear the "ya-gotta-hearit-twice ('cause you won't believe it
the first time)" music of the Village

Dear Sir:
This letter is written in an attempt to correct the harm done by
the editorial in last week's The
Tech entitled, "Field Day and the
Freshmen."
First of all, the editorial contained several gross misstatements
of facts. These were:
1. "At a recent meeting, the A.A.
laid its plans for . . . Field Day . . ."
The truth is that Field Day has
never yet been discussed by a meeton Page 6i)

Professor J. H. Keenan of the
Mechanical Engineering department, an authority on jet propulsion, was the guest speaker at the
meeting of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, held at 5:00
PSI. last Tuesday in Room 10-250,
Professor Keenan's subject was
"Jet Propulsion and Rocket Power,"
subjects in which his work for the
Government and for industry during the war make him particularly
competent. An outline of the types
of rockets and jets in use, and of
obsolete models, was presented with
graphs and data supplied to show
the efficiency of each. Slides illustrated the Professor's talk. The
various rocket-type missile employed
by Germany, and by the Allies during the war were explained and
compared.
Professor Keenan concluded by
citing the inmense future which he
feels sure is in store for this type
of propulsion in aviation. Speeds
approaching those of sound have
already been achieved, and it may
be possible, he maintains, to exceed
that speed.
Following the lecture, guests were
invited to remain for refreshments,
after which the officers for the summer were elected. Bernard Morrill was made chairman of the organization, SNarsingh Morarji was
elected vice-chairman, and Bernard
Ostrovsky became the new secretary-treasurer.
This was the Society's last meeting this term, and while it will continue to function during the summer, no new memberships will be
I accepted until the fall term.

Last Wednesday$ the Tech netmen went to Tufts College in Somerville to return with a resounding
3 to 1 Victory. This was Tech's second win of the season against only
one defeat.
In the singles the Techmen were
undefeated. Warren Wratters, after
a bad start, came through to win
7-5, 6-2. In the number two spot
Axel Kaufman shut out his opponent 7-5 and 10-8. Jim Gordon also
had a tough match, finally succeeding 7-5, 3-6, 7-5. At fourth, fifth,
and sixth, respectively, Schmitt,
Loomis, and Zimmerman won hands
down, allowing their opponents no
more than four games a match.
At first doubles Loomis and Zimmerman repeated their single triumphs by score of 6-2, 6-2. Schmitt
and Gordon then lost one hotly contested match, 6-3, 6-3, for Tuft's
only win of the afternoon; and in
the last match Roberts and Machie
outlasted their adversaries 7-5 and
4-6.

Finals oni Sunday
The finals began on Sunday in a
very light breeze in the morning,
but the afternoon brought an increasing wind in which 8 of the 10
races were sailed. In Division A
Charlie Hunt scored 122 out of a
possible 130 points and was ably
crewed by Dick Turner and later
Dick Miaskiewicz.
In Division B
John Marvin and Watt Webb started
with Ray Brown and Dick Webb
later entering the competition in
their stead.
The final scoring revealed Tech
with 229 points, in first place, then
followed C. G. A. 196, Holy Cross
181, Harvard 152, B. U. 148, Princeton 140, Dartmouth 139, W.P.1. 139,
Brown 134, Williams 134, Cornell 117,
Haverford 94. The meet again demonstrated that Tech could defeat
its close competitor C.G.A. in home
waters. The many skippers called
upon during the regatta showed the
many championship skippers that
the present sailing team could depend upon to bring further glories
to Tech.

A month ago no one would have
believed that Tech could do anything but win the -N.EI.C!3A races
which were held at Briggs Field
last Saturday. Howe'ver, a remarkable improvement culminated with
Saturday's meet in which Tech fell
only 10 points short of the winner.
It became evident in the morning
trials at Briggs Flield that Bob
Meny, one of Tech's favorites in the
dashes and broad jumps was so harrassed by a fallen arch that his
output would be meager.
Bob
wouldn't give in though and attempted to 'run the dashes, and he
did a beautiful job managing to
place for a point in the finals. If
there was ever a display of courage Bob Meny had it last Saturday
as he attempted the alinost impossible.
Capt. John Serrie, the only title
winner from Tech, maintained his
1945 mile title and failed to gain the
half-mile title by aif ew yards. Holding a safe lead throughout the entire race, he was suddenly surprised
by a rush from the rear as Budd
Knapp of B. U. took the lead.
Knapp's time had previously been
beaten by Serrie in the trial heats.

defeat to the second and third Harvard shells by a length in a time of
9:27. The two Tech 150-pound boats
fared less successfully placing second and fourth against the two Harvard lightweight boats.
Tech's Varsity oarsmen came out
of the start two seats behind Harvard. A "big twenty" and Tech
forged ahead never again to relinquish the lead. At the Harvard
Bridge the Beaver crew led by two
lengths. Soon after, the Harvard
crew raised their stroke and pulled
to within three-quarters of a length,
at the beginning of the sprint. The
Tech oarsmen, however, held their
own and pulled away to victory with

Tech Meets Cadets
In the coming weekend Tech will
journey to Coast Guard to engage
in a dual nleet with the Cadets on
May 25. 'To further the high spirit
of competition between the two
highest ranking teams in the Intercollegiate Yachting Racing Association, 'Doc" Lukens has' accepted
the challenge of one of the Cadets
Lo wager his black English Homburg hat on his team in the results
of the meet. "Doc's" counter proposal was that if Coast Guard loses
they must produce a C. G. service
hat to each of the Tech skippers
and crews. If you see any Coast
Guard toppers around next week
you will know that this wager was
agreed upon and that Tech has won
again. On the other hand if someone approaches you for a contribution to buy a new hat? Only time
will tell.
