to purchase of the rings, and approved the elections of officers to
LSC, WiIiT, NSA, and THE TECH.
When the Student Government
Investigating Committee began to
examine possible means of streamlining the structure of the Undergraduate Association last fall, it
was presented with a wide variety
of reforms of varying extremes.
Two of these proposals, engineered
to eliminate rote work, which has
become more or less of a formality,
from Institute Committee business
and give that body more time to
fulfil its basic function as a clearing house for student problems,
have now been approved by Inscomm. They will be written into
Inscomm By-laws and go into effect
next Wednesday, February 20, 1952.
Approval of Activity Officers
The first recommendation gives
to the Executive Committee the
job of approving all activity officers
and elections, except elections from
Inscomm itself. The latter group
will have the right to review the
I decisions of the Executive Committee.

OPEN HO:USE RULIES: A NEW DEVIELOPMIENT
We were veery glad to note from a report in the Harvar
C~rimson that women guests are now allowed in the Junior Cornmon Room at Kirkland House until 11 o'clock on Saturday
evenings, and we congratulate the residents on their achievement. This leaves only Eliot House without an open house
program of this type.
The report goes on to say that EHouse members and their
dates may use the Common Room for dancing, card-playing or
checkers, as long as they fulfill three regulations, to wit:
1. Both chandeliers must be fully lighted.
2. No alcoholic beverages, including beer, may be drunk.
3. Good order, manners, and' morals must be upheld.
We hope Kirkland House residents will be orderly while
they are in the Com mon Room, and we wish those at Eliot House
speedy success in obtaining their rightful privilege.
At the same time those of us at the Institute wrho live on
campus can consider ourselves fortunate in having a set of open
house rules as liberal as the one put into effect last term; ex-t
ces~sive restrictions are as bad as no restrictions.
WHAT PRICE MORALITY?
The creation of a state censorship commission has been proposed by State Representative Gabriel F. Piemonte and has
received initial approvral from the legislative committee on state
administration. Such a commission would review all books and
magazines before they could be sold in Massachusetts. The
sale of unapproved publications would be punished by fines up
to $1,000 or up to one year in jail.
The probable aim of the bill is to pre-vent immoral literature
from getting into the hands of those state citizens willing to
purchase it. Assuming that a citizen is not free to poison himself if he wants to, we can only praise the State Representative's
proposal: if his bill is passed by the Legislature, a great deal of
trashy books and magazines now on the bookstalls throughout
the Commonwealth would disappear. All 'he samne we question
its feasibility, since those with time and money could secure
sulch literature in a neighboring state; in addition, any enforcemenlu machine would tend tlo become rather complex.
All that, however, is beside the point. What is more important is the fact that"decision on whether a certain book or magazine is harmful or not will remain with ia board of two men: one
appointed by the Attolrney General, and the other by the Commissioner on Public Safety. Thus whoever sets 'up the criteria
of harmfulness, two men will be in a position to interpret them
at will.
That the arm of censorship is a two-edged weapon has been
shown us by Nazi Germany and byr the countries behind the
Iron1 Curtain. While commending with undisguised sincerity
the regard for the moral well-beinlg of the people of Massachusetts implied in Mr. Piemonte's bill, we cannot but spot with
misgvns the possibility of the weapon befing mishandled. It
would take an Attorney General and a Commissioner of Public
Safety- of superhuman wisdom and magnanimity to prevent this.
It is after all better to see harmful literature on the bookstalls
than to have a censorship board which may overreach itself.

Youl see, telephone equipment occupies valua'ole space, uses costly materials. Paring down its size helps keep
down the cost of telephone service.
Take voice amplifiers, for example.
Telephone engineers put the squeeze
on size, came up wvith a new small
type. Whlen 600 of these new amplifiers are mounted on a frame two feet
aide and eleven feet high, they do a
lob wehich once required a roomful of
