Ths news came as no surprse to many men of Technology who long understood the reason for the restrctons placed on undergraduates' use of the stacks. Unnformed sources say that word leaked out that somethng "fshy" was gong on behnd the sordd and ntellectual atmosphere of the lbrary. These sources sad that Mnton Twnch, '52, may hs trbe ncrease, who was angered at the fact that he could "not go behnd the stacks," broke the rules last Monday afternoon and when the lbraran wasn't lookng, dashed through the door, on the heels of a Course Sx graduate student. He followed the student and came upon a collecton of Damsels from the Old Howard puttng on a specal performance for members of the E. E. department. After pausng to see the clmax of "Drty Gerte's" act, he dashed out and rushed to phone polce. Offcals arrved wthn a few mnutes and gong under the pretense that they wanted to look at some old ssues of "Popular Scence" were admtted to the stacks. Followng the sounds of vgorous applaudng comng from deep wthn the Bology Secton, they broke upon the group watchng the specal performance. Arrests were made, and as a result forty professors were placed n the Cambrdge Jal, whle Polce offcals remaned co see the show. l THE TECH HAMBURG CORP. DELCACY Commttee s nvestgatng the hgh prce.

The charge was made, by Dave Hegan, columnst for a local newspaper, and was admtted by M..T. offcals. Accordng to Hegan, who s wdely known for hs sensatonal exposes, the nsttute pays outrght stpends of as much as $2000 yearly to ts stars of the grdron, damond, and basketball court. n addton, athletes are pad hgh salares to perform such dutes as runnng around the block, sweepng the Voo Doo offce after beer partes, etc. Scholastc standards for athletes are also drastcally reduced, t was learned. After prep school and hgh school stars have been lured to the nsttute, they are enrolled n Course V, Tech's easest course, are personally suppled wth bbles for all ther courses by Professor Mueller, and are gven "sneak prevews" of all quzzes. Snce all the professors n the Physcs Department are rabd sports fans, they are especally lenent n awardng grades to athletes. Harvard s ndgnant The general reacton to the sensatonal dsclosure by Hegan was a wave.of ndgnaton, especally among rval colleges. J. W.

M..T. offcals, whle admttng the charges, clamed that they were forced to take ths acton on athletcs, due to heavy pressure on the part of alumn and of the corporaton. Athlete's Reacton A typcal Tech athlete, J.
