Colin MacLaurin, spring vacation (March 24-31). Director of General Services, disclosed the change-over plans to The Tech early Sunday. Baker House Chairman, H. Paul Zeiger '58, informed of the disclosure, called it "a great thing." He said, "I very much doubt whether there will be any more boycotts now. We plan to give Stouffer's the utmost co-operation." Included in the change-over will be the installation of a Stouffer dietitian and the assumption of control of food purchases by the firm. Mr. Robert Wheeler, presently the top-ranking Stouffer representative in Morss Hall, will also direct the Baker House dining operation. Acquisition of the dietitian was the chief factor which delayed Stouffer's entry into Baker House, according to Mr. MacLaurin. At the beginning of this term, it was felt that a qualified dietitian could not be found before the end of the term.

With its first game only four weeks away, the MIT baseball team has been holding practices in the armory. Pros- pects are good for improving upon last year's 5-10-2 record. On the team are several good players from last year's fresh- man squad which, led by good hitting and a strong infield. was the first in several years to break into the win column. These players include first baseman Larry Jones, second sacker Dick Campbell, catcher Warren Goodnow, and - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Al Beard. Karl Walterskirchen, a transfer student, is another addition to the team, and should help out at first base. The squad will be led this year by co-captains Al Richman, , and Pete Hohorst, outfield, both seniors. Other seniors rounding out their college diamond careers are Bill Fleischer and Chuck Speer. Juniors Walt Ackerlund, Dick Barone, and Dan Read will help out with the hitting and fielding chores. FIREBUG* With three hurlers missing from last year's team, pitching may be the biggest hurdle which Coach Whitelaw will have to overcome.
