By Judy GreenspanRelations remain strained

between the Coop Group, a slateof nine students running for theHarvard Cooperative Society(Coop) Board of Directors, andthe Coop management. The CoopGroup feels the Coop shouldoperate primarily with student in-terests in mind, while the manage-ment maintains business interestsshould not be secondary.

"I just hope they have thewelfare of the Coop in mind andnot their own selfish interests,"said the President of the Coopand Harvard Professor MiltonBrown. They are more concernedwith their own "posturing andpower" than with better businessfor the Coop's members, he said."I have not yet seen them under-take any constructive course ofaction for the Coop and itsmembers."

"Well, what do they knowabout serving students?" EricReiff, a candidate from the CoopGroup, asked. "I wouldn't wantto be General Manager of theCoop. We need people likeArgeros [General Manager of theHarvard Coop] and Milt Brown;we need their business expertise."But business interests should notsupersede student interests, hedeclared.

Some Coop Group members'feel the Society's managementsimply does not like provocativestudents on the Board after yearsof relative harmony between stuJ-dent and non-student members.

"[Brown) is not a stupid man,"said Guy Molyneux, a principalorganizer of the original CoopGroup. "He'd like to return to theold days. [He prefers] passive stu-dents. Hle damn well better get

By Ivan FongThe MIT faculty passed a mo-

lion approving a Bachelor ofScience degree in CognitiveScience and adopted a set of mo-tions to recom m en d anUndergraduate Writing Require-ment at a monthly meeting of thefaculty Wednesday. The Corpora-tion must approve the WritingRequirement before it takes effectin 1983.

The Psychology Department'sproposal, presented by Depart-ment Head Richard M. Held, wasprompted by the emergence ofCognitive Science as . discipline,the minimal cost of implementingsuch a program, a perceived in-terest on the part of students andodemand on the part of industry,and a $2.5 million grant Irom theSloan Foundation to the Centerfor Cognitive Science in 1980.

The proposed undergraduatedegree program in CognitiveScience, if approved by the MITCorporation at its June meeting,is scheduled to begin in the fall of'1982. The program has alreadybeen approved by the Committeeon Educational Policy and theCommittee on Curricula, Held in-dicated.

The faculty approved anamendment, presented byChairman of the CEP Felix H.

Villars, to change the status of theproposied Committee on theWriting Requiremnentl 1romn aStanding Coulmittee to a SpecialComnmittee. Establishing aStanding Committee would haverequired a change in the Rulesand Regulations of the Faculty.

By Barry S. SurmanThe Association of Student Ac-

tivities (ASA) General Bodyvoted Wednesday to censure theASA Executive Committee for"assuming the legislativeauthority of the [ASA]."

The ASA General Body alsovoted to overturn an ExecutiveCommittee decision to recom-mend the Undergraduate As-sociation (UA) General Assembly(GA) discontinue funding of theTechnology Community Associa-tion (TCA) Office Manager andreplace the present VA accoun-tant and secretary with a singlebookkeeper/receptionist. All of

these questions passed with nodissenting votes.

"I think [Wednesday'smeeting] was very constructive,"said ASA President SamuelAustin 111 '82, a member of thecensured Executive Committee."It's about time the ASA didsorething meaningful for its con-stituency."'

The censure resol ution,proposed by Jason Weller '82 andseconded by William York '82,said, "The bounds of the Ex-ecutive Committee are limited tothe executive and judicial func-tions of the ASA. All resolutionsof the ASA should be voted on bythe entire body. All decisions ofthe Executive Committee shouldbe stated as such."

ASA Treasurer ArnoldContreras '83 attempted to thwartthe censure motion by moving toadjourn the meeting before a votecould be taken, then by re-questing a quorum call. Bothmaneuvers failed.

The vote to censure will notchange the Executive Commit-tee's role, according to ASASecretary Jonathan Miller '84.The censure "points out the Ex-ecutive Committee's powers," heexplained.

The ASA Executive Commit-tee, Austin said, "will continue tofunction in the interest of all stu-dent activities on this campus,period."

In other business, the ASAelected Vicki Chen '83 to a posi-tion on the UA Finance Boardand the ASA Executive Comnmit-tee. Elizabeth Thlompson '83 wasalso elected to the Finance Board.

Thirty representatives of ASA-recognized student activities wereamong approximately 40 studentsattending the meeting.

By Ivan FongMIT President Paul E. Gray

'54 described his personal viewsof MIT's tuition-and student aidand the recent Pajaro Dunes con-ference on university/industr)relations in bioengineering to ap-proximately fifty faculty membersat Wednesday's faculty meeting.

Gray expressed considerableconcern for the $4000 equity levelset in March. The equity, or self-help level is the amount each stu-dent on financial aid mustprovide for school expenses, in-dependent of the money the Stu-dent Financial Aid Office's ex-pected family and summer jobcontributions.

MIT's equity level is "substan-tially more than that of com-peting institutions," said Gray.The college with the next highestequity level has one in the $3300to $3400 range, and the averageequity level of about 12 institu-tions similar to MIT is approx-imately $3000, he said.

If President Reagan is able torestrict or eliminate Federal loanprograms, Gray noted, the self-help level may continue to risesresulting in a possible com-promise of current aid-blind ad-missions policies from financialconsiderations, rather than anyAdmissions Department decision.

The tuition increases of 19 per-cent and 16 percent during thelast two years were "large by anystandard" noted Gray, and werecaused in part by unexpectedpressures from unforeseen infla-tion rates. He indicated a secondreason for the increases was astrong effort to improve facultysalaries, especially entry-levelsalaries in the engineering depart-ments. Finally, he said, thecompletion of the Athletic Centerand 500 Memorial Drive strainedthe operating budget because thebuilding constructions wereundertaken without 'full funding.

Changes in student interestshave put pressures on MIT's,finances, noted Gray. Less than adecade ago, he said, 30 to 35 per-cent of all undergraduates wereengineering majors; now thePercentage is up to almost 70.That shift placed severe burdens

on the Electrical Engineering andComputer Science, ChemicalEngineering, and MechanicalEngineering- Departments, while

used to it and take their ideasseriously."

Brown retorted angrily to theCoop Group's basic premise thatstudents need more voice in Coopdecisions than in the past: "Inputfrom the students has always beenvery high. They essentially saidthat the students did not have afull voice. They couldn't possiblyknow, because they weren'tthere."

This year's Coop Group hopesto reduce textbook prices,preventing further Coop expan-sion into business districts, andpreventing anti-union activitiesshould a unionization drive reoc-cur.

Some of their ideas are makingmembers of the Coop's manage-ment uneasy.

"What is disturbing is thatthese nine people obviously don'thave the vaguest idea of how theCoop is running," Brown said.

"These are young people whohave never operated a business."

The Coop Group dislikes thedowntown Coop, contending it isa business venture not serving thestudents interests. they claim it isunprofitable and unnecessary.

Brown disagrees. "The fact is,the [downtown] Coop is on thefirst floor of the bank buildingand the top is the Harvard Club.The basic charter was to servealumni and employees- not stu-dents. They have totally misstatedtheir case- it is not unprofitable;it is very profitable. When wecreated this store we were goingafter alumni."

A column in the HarvardIndependent by a present studentmember of the Board, LawrenceGolub, supports this view. "It istrue," Golub wrote, "that thedowntown store does not servemany students, but students make

The nine members comprisingthe 1982 Coop Group hope tocontinue a trend begun by theoriginal Coop Group last year.

"I don't feel that we've done agreat deal" in the past year, GuyMolyneux said. "The most im-portant thing, we have establisheda tradition" of checkingmanagerial decisions, particularlywhen the decision will adverselyaffect the student's interests.

'"We're very much the out-growth of last year's group," EricReiff said.

One of the main issues in theCoop G roup's platform is theplan to reduce textbook prices,possibly by reducing the Coop'srebate.

''The Coop Group feels youcan't just look at the rebate byitself," Reiff commented. "Webelieve that probably the mostimportant issue is textbookprices. Student interests woulddictate selling textbooks vastlycheaper. In order to do this wewould heave to lower the rebate.

concluded that a union wouldcreate a more antagonistic at-mosphere and was not needed atthe Coop. Defeat of the union"was interpreted as a prettystrong denunciation against theunion. But equally to have about150 vote for it meant there were

some significant problems."These problems were con-

sidered during the year and

devised."I have taken no public or

private position on a union,"Brown said, later adding, "I think. . . we could operate much betterand more easily without a union."

Some student- candidates areunfamiliar with both the nameand the platform. Gordon HunterG said, "I haven't heard of themat all."

We'd do it only if it would benefitthe students."

Brown feels reducing textbookprices would be harmful to theCoop. Golub claimed the Coop,selling at a mark up, lost $87,000on textbooks in 1981.

Coop Group members claimthe management was openly op-posed to a unionization drive lastyear, and wants to prevent thispolicy in the future. The unionthat sought last year to organizeCoop employees charged in aNational Labor Relations Boardcase that the Coop managementcoerced workers in a massive anti-union campaign. the union wasdefeated by Coop employees 273to 156. The outcome of the case isnot yet known.

"We don't know what the out-come will be," Reiff said. "I'dalmost like to say it's likelythey're found guilty. We are ab-solutely committed to not beingpro-union, but anti-anti-union,"Will McDonough agreed, sayingit was "terrible" to coerceworkers to vote one way oranother.

"We saw the student-union is-sues as linked," said MeredithKane, a current Coop GroupBoard member. "This is ourmoney you are spending on

looked across the water to berth'C' on Long Wharf, about half-way between the Commonwealthand the row of yellow buses. Afigure- a young man, it seemed

- descended from a large privatemotorboat to a dinghy dancing inthe low waves below. A pair ofshouts (playful?) stood outamong the continuing hubbub ofthe crowded pier.

A cry -the pained cry of ateenaged boy- was now clearlydiscernible above the tumnult:"XHelp me, please." There seemedto be no notice of the cry amongthe crowd above the little boat.Again: '*Help me, please." Thecry came not from the youth inthe dinghy, but fromn his unseencomrade behind the boat in berth'C'.

We ran. Past the line of yellowbuses, past the clusters of teen-agers smoking a last cigarettebefore heading home.

My comnpanion rushed to thenew hotel to call for the police. Icontinued along the wharf,blocked from berth 'C' by aneight-foot chain-link fence. Ipushed my way through the still-dense crowd at the foot of theCommnonwealth's gangplanks.

An eighteen year old boyargued with ;a crewman to getback on the cruise ship. The boy'steeth were stained with blood."My brother's in there," heargu~ed, "and there's eight of

them." The crewman assured theboy the lower-deck fracas wasunder control.

I told the story of the criesfrom berth 'C' to a female mem-ber of the Commonwealth's crewas we ran along the edge of thepier, behind the fences, towardthe berth. Two boys were visibleon a platform just above thewater's level.

" Do you need help?" thewoman called.

"No,"9 the boy who'd been inthe dinghy responded. "He's justa little drunk." I began to breatheagain. "It's okay," he continued,more to reassure himself, itseemed, than to convince us.

As I headed back to theMarriott, I noticed more bloodiedfaces in this crowd. "You'd betterget to your friend," the crewmanhad warned. "This isn't a friendlygrou p."

Back on Aquarium Wharf, thewind had picked up a bit. LoganAirport was a sea of blue lightssurrounded by the dark sea.Buoys danced on the water. Thelights of a sailboat slowly, silentlycrossed the harbor.

A quarter-hour later, a policecruiser was idling behind the still-present line of buses. I asked theofficers if they had responded toour 'call. They were puzzled,there'd been no such call. Theypromised to check it out.

It began to rain.

The Commonwealth, a 135-footcruise ship owned by the Bay.State-Spray & ProvincetownSteamship Company, had justmoored at Long Wharf. Scores ofyoung people streamed down thetwo metal gangplan ks, laughedand smoked cigarettes as theywalked the two hundred yards towaiting buses.

A blue sedan slowly worked itsway along the crowded pier.Long Wharf was more crowdedthan it had been in recent mem-ory. The Chart House was doinga healthy business; the BostonMarriott drew throngs to drink inits new baTs, to eat in its newrestaurants, and just to see thenew hotel. Though breezy, it wasa comfortable night; the kind ofnight one associates with themiddle of April.

The harbor seals laid half-*asleep in their outdoor pen at theNew England Aquarium. "Please,we are on a special diet," the signsaid. "Coins, balls, or other ob-jects are hazardous to ourhealth." Twvo young girls, six orseven years old, gazed at the sealsand shared a giggle.

The cold, black water of theHarbor lapped softly at thestones of Aquarium Wharf, at thegood ship Edgerton mooredthere. ("You can't escape theInstitute," I joked.) the laughter,the voices of Long Wharf driftedacross the water.

I heard a quiet splash and

amn well aware of the fact that youpublish a resume book for stu-dents graduating in science and'engineering. It has led to some jobopportunities for a few friends ofmine. I must admit, though, that I

was not aware of your list ofminority students until I readabout it in The Tech.

Mr. Weatherall, I have tried todo my homework, but I am stillconfused. The Placement Manualstates that your "only require-ment is. that an organizationwhich comes recruiting .. .should represent itself fairly, andthat is should treat [me] fairly as acalndidate."' I feel safe to assumethat based on this policy, Mr.Weatherall, you would ban anorganization that explicitly re-quested whites to apply. (At leastI hope you would.) But why doesit appear that you not only con-done, but aid organizations ex-plicitly requesting minorities withan exclusive list?

In your recent letter, you seemto have equated the justificationsof the resume book with the "List

by Departments of M inorityStudents."' I'm sorry, Mr.Weatherall, but I don't see thecorrelation. I find it totallYjustified that I am excluded fromnthe resume book on the basis thatI am not graduating this year. Theminority list, though, contains11minority students interested inpermanent or summer employ-ment in 1982 who have returned aca-rd indicating that they wouildlike their names given toemployers.'' As I recall, this listsupposedly allows employers tomake a wider selection. I fail toperceive how the exclusion of ni~sname, add ress, telephonenumber, advisor, degree date, andemployment interest grants awider selection . I hope, M91r.Weatherall, that you will explainthis to me.

the milieu and mindset of these potential future leadersof our country, Crusade officials explained. Because ofthe climate in the academic institutions, theevangelistic message will be tailored to reach the stu-dents.

"It's more the idea of free inquiry, where Dr. Grahampresents what we know and believe to be the truth, andinvites students to consider it and respond to it. So, it isjust a free exchange of ideas. That's what we're shootingfor. Dr. Graham and the General Committee felt thatstudents need a direct apporoach, a one-on-one en-counter with him," according to Greg Strand, Col-legiate Coordinator bfr the Billy Graham EvangelisticAssociation.

In this evangelistic lecture format, Dr. Graham willnot be offering the conventional invitation to comeforward that he does for the city Crusades; rather, hewill present a challenge for students and faculty toseriously consider the message especially in view ofcurent world situations and nuclear tension.

Thomas Hawkes, Assistant Collegiate Coordinator,stated about the collegiate campus, "lt's a differentplace. There are different people who have differentways of responding. Students are much more criticaland cynical, and less church-oriented than people whoattend the city'Crusade. They won't respond as well tothose things in a typical Crusade setting, that aregeared to people who are familiar with the church."Strand added, "What Dr. Graham wants, to-do is makesure that people understand what the Gospel really saysand that they have an opportunity to respond in a waythat is not threatening. His purpose in coming to theNew England campuses is to serve and help studentsand faculty by clearly communicating the Gospel ofChrist, of hope, and of peace."

When the New England Billy Graham Crusade isheld this spring, it will not be limited to one city or oneweek of' meetings. Instead, it will involve many citiesand universities throughout the New Enaland States.Beginning in April, Billy Graham will give evangelisticlectures at seven new England colleges and univernsities;and, during April and May, seven major New Englandcities will hold Crusade meetings before the Crusade inBoston, Massachusetts, May 30 through June 6 at,Boston Univerisity's Nickerson Field.

After the original Planning Committtee made clear toDr. Graharn that the invitation to New Enuland in-cluded a unique sweep of' college campuses, 17 formalinvitations were received from colleges and universitiesacross New England. While the number of lectures, hadto be limited to a few campuses, eight actual lectureshave been scheduled with -Billy Graham speaking atNortheastern University in Boston on April 15; Univer-sity of' Massachusetts in Amherst on April 16; YaleUniversity in New Haven, Connecticut, on April 19; atthe Harvard-Kennedy School of Government. inCambridge on April 20; Harvard University inCambridge on April 21; Boston College in Boston onApril 822; Massachusetts Institute of Technology(M.I.T.) in Cambridge on April 28; and at D~artmo~uthCollege in Hanover, New Hampshire, on May 26.

The lectures are the result of' invitations by studentgroups on the campuses. The foremost criteria was thecommitment and coalition of the Christian communityon campuses that issued the invitation. Dr. Grahamdesires for his ministry to complement what is happen-ing on campus already, where it will be a constructivepart of an ongoing ministry.

When Dr'. Graham addresses the seven major newEngland college campuses, his approach will refelect

From the glass towers of Manhattan to native villagesin Nigeria, people of all ages and every walk of life cometo hear Billy Graham. For more than 30 years he and histeam have preached face-to-face to nearly 100 millionpeople, with hundreds of millions more receiving hismessage through television, radio and films. 1 1()00,(30attended the closing session of' his Seoul, Korea,Crusade, one of the largest gatherings of its kind in thehistory of Christianity. Why do they come? Who is thisman?

Growing up on his father's dairy farm during theGreat Depression, Billy Graham had no inkling that hewould become'the world's best-known evangelist. Hisparents were deeply committed Christians, but "BillyFrank" was not particularly religious and was thinkingof becoming a professional baseball player. Then, at age16, he took the step he now asks other people around theworld to take: he accepted Christ as Lord of his life. Afew years later while attending Bible College he sensedthe call to preach. It was perhaps the most difficultdecision of Billy's life for it meant being willing to goanywhere for God at any time. Then, too, he had reser-vations about some aspects of evangelisms particularlyan emphasis on emotionalism and the prevailing view

fostered by the film Elmer Gantry that some evangelistswere in the ministry for financial gain. -But after muchprayer he said yes, and the most widely publicizedevangelistic ministry of our time was born.

Bible College had given Billy a solid foundatiotn in the

Curch Co nf-erenceBilly Graham has just accepted an invitation to

proclaim the Gospel and to address a- conference ofreligious leaders in Moscow in early May, 1982. Prior tohis Moscow trip he will be speaking on the same topicon university campuses across New England.

He has been invited by Patriarch Pimen of Moscow to)attend a worship service on May 9 at an OrthodoxCathedral in Moscow and to proclaim the Gospel to thecongregation during the morning liturgy while ex-tending fraternal greetings.

At the evening service Dr. Graham will be preachingat the Moscow Baptist Church, which has 5,500members.

On Tuesday, May 11, Billy Graham will address aconference convenend by Patriart Pimen. Internationalreligious leaders representing many major religions willbe there; it is not just a conference of Christian leaders.Dr. Graham will be attending the -conference as anobserver. He will be speaking from the Bible on theChristian's understanding of peace in a nuclear age.The official title of the conference is "WorldConference: Religious Workers for Saving the Sacredgift of Life from Nuclear Catastrophe."

In a recent news release Dr. Graham said, "It is mysincere prayer that this visit will make at least a smallcontribution to better understanding between the peo-ples of the Soviet Union, the United Stations, and othercountries of the world. We trade with each other, wehave cultural exhcanges, and we have continuedpolitical negotiations in spite of our differences. I thinkit is now time that we move into a spiritual dimensionas well. My purpose in going to the Soviet Union isspiritual, and it is not my intention to become involvedin political or ideological issues."

Scriptures but he was then, as he is now, an avid readerand enthusiastic learner, and he added ac ademicbackground to his Biblical knwoled-e by enrolling atprestigious Wheaton College in Illinois. Wheaton havehim more than an education; it was there that Hillv fellin love - at first sight, he says - with a beautiful fellowstudent, Ruth McCue Bell, daughter o(f a missionarysurgeon in China. Ruth had many other admirers butthere was something special about the tall, seriousyoung preacher from North Carolina, and in 194:1 theywere married. After graduating from tollege, Billyjoined "Youth for Christ," an organization designed tobring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to youth and ser-vicemen during World War II. With '"Youth for Christ"he preached across the United Sta-tes and Europe,steadily emerging as an evangelist.

In 1949 he conducted such a meeting in I,os Anaelesand with this he unknowingly set in motion the eventsthat would make him famous. 'The Los An-elesmeetings opened in September, scheduled to run fsorthree weeks. Eight weeks later they came to atriumphant conclusion. It was generaliv agreed thatthere -had been nothing like the crowds that flowed intothe tent at the corner of Wiashington Blvd. and HillStreet since Billy Sunday's New York Crusade threedecades earlier.

The Leos Angeles Examiner gave the meet in,,s bannerheadlines which were picked up by ot her papers acrossthe country as well as by the Associated Press. Sparkedby Los An-geles, a very successful Boston meeting fosl-lowed and invitations began coming to Billy from citiesacross the country and the world.

Today Billy Craham is perhaps at the height of hisministry. An international Christian leader, he is theconfidant of royalty and presidents, yet the comforter ofthe poor, the oppressed, the prisoner and the unknown.Famous people have come to Christ because of' hisministry, as have multitudes of not-s-famous men,women, and young people who have recognized in Bil-ly's message the answer to their own deepest and oftenunexpressed needs. His ministry and influence havebeen recognized by a broad spectrum of' the religiouscommunity. The American Jewish Committee honoredBilly with its first Inter-religious Award. Many of thepublic meetings during his tour of Poland were hostedby Roman Catholic churches and cathedrals. The MostReverend Robert Runcie, 102nd Archbishop of Canter-bury, invited Billy to his enthronement at CanterburyCathedral in express appreciation of Billy's impact onhis life and ministry. The Gallup Poll finds BillyAraham year after year among the top ten of the world'smost admired men. He has preached in crusades onevery continent and in almost every major country onearth. At an age when most men begin gearing down forretirement, this man presses vigorously ahead in a workthat takes him hundreds of thousands of grueling milesaround the globe each year.

Billy Graham goes "home" to a small town in themountains of North Carolina where he and his wife live.At home, the Grahams attend the local Presbyterianchurch where Mrs.- Graham is a member. Billy is an or-dained Baptist minister but he frequently attendschurches of other denominations in his travels. TheGrahams, who are often away, still find time to be ac-tive in their hometown affairs; they have many localfriends, and everybody knows them.

Billy and Ruth Graham are parents of five childrenand grandparents of fifteen. Muhammad Ali, a recentvisitor, best describes Billy's life away from thelimelight: "I thought he'd live on a thousand acre farm,but [with Billy driving] we drove up to this house madeof logs. No mansion with crystal chandeliers and (Toldcarpets, but the kind of house a man of God would liveinr."

his role in the development of the atomicand hydrogen bombs. Rabi and Op-penheimer defend the application of''moral scruples" to their work.

It is quite clear that both playwright anddirector side with Drs. Rabi and Op-penheimer. A gratuitous bit of scenery,looking remarkably like a sixth-gradescience fair diorama, depicts a mushroomcloud over a demolished Boston skyline,identifiable only by the cracked golden

pean Restaurant, the theatre is broken upby four pillars supporting the ceiling. Theseposts block portions of the stage from allbut the best of seats; they eclipse much ofthe action off the stage as well.

The protagonists' soliloquies fail on twocounts. Rothauser's blocking uproots thecharacters from their positions in the hear-ing room, bringing them downstage tospeak directly to the audience. Rather thanpromoting closeness to the audience, thisdevice impairs the continuity of the hear-ings as players dash out from behind theirtables to center stage.

These discourses seem superficial and,indeed, misplaced. The drama begins withOppenheimer (Eugene E. Boles) recallingthe first time he entered the hearing room,establishing him as a first-person presence.When members of the security board hear-ing the case and opposing counsel speak tothe audience, a fly-on-the-wall perspectiveis suggested. This question of perspective isnever resolved by playwright Kipphardt.The substance of the soliloquies cannotjustify the ambiguity; they serve only toforce-feed the audience all-too-obviousideas and questions.

Boles's portrayal of Oppenheimer issuperb. He convincingly presents thecentral character as honest, quietly elo-quent, unbending in loyalty, and firm in his"scruples." Unfortunately, many of theother players were mired inovercharacteriza-~ion. Board memberThomas A. Morgan (Edwin Thurston),defense counsel C. A. Hollander (ThomasJoseph), and Major Nicholas Radzi(Merton Aspinwall) all seem to come offthe central casting shelves as thestereotypical industrial giant, thestereotypical liberal lawyer, and thestereotypical Air Force operative, respec-tively. The stereotypes provide an inade-quate facade for shallow, undevelopedcharacters.

Physicists Edward Teller (Michael Fran-cis) and Isador Isaac Rabi (Woody Satz)perform admirably, transcendingstereotypes to create complete, humancharacters. Questions about the role oftechnology and the social responsibility ofscientists for the consequences of their dis-cov~eries are nicely presented in thedichotomy of Teller, on one hand, and Op-penheimer and Rabi, on the other. Tellerbelieves the political and military decisionsshould be left to the politicians and themilitary, abdicating any responsibility for

In the matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer, atthe Nucleo Eclettico, 216 Hanover St. (in theNorth End), Boston. 8pmi, Wednesday -Sunday, through May 22. Admission $5.

The paper-mach6 bomb in the lobbyshould have been a tipoff. Heinar Kip-phardt's In the matter of J. Robert Op-penheimer begins to deal with the moraldilemma faced by twentieth-centuryscience, but any substantive investigation isobscured by inadequate staging,overplayed characterizations, and an un-ashamed politicization of the production.

Oppenheimer recounts hearings held inthe 1950's by the Atomic Energy Commis-sion to determine if Oppenheimer, "thefather of the atomic bomb," should retainhis security clearance, amidst allegations ofties to the Communist Party and disloyaltyto the United States. The play takes placewithin a government hearing room - not,admittedly, the most visually interesting ofsettings.

Director David Rothauser attempts toovercome the inherent limitations of thehearing room scene in two ways; he placeswitnesses testifying before the hearingboard in the audience and brings the case'sprincipals downstage to soliloquize withina tight spotlight. Both techniques fail.

The testimony-from-the-audience, whileit might be effective in another theatre, isplainly unsuitable for the Nucleo Eclect-tico, Located in the basement of the Euro-

help thinking that I knew of some peoplethat could have portrayed the role muchbetter without even trying, Carlback asKonstantine came off as an exaggeration ofShakespeare's Hamlet. It was hard todecide whether it was Chekhov's writing orArmitage's directing that made the partseem as such. Falk's acting was fine, butNina came off as being more "spoiledbrat" than merely innocent and impres-sionable.

One of the weakest spots of the play wasthe role of Masha. Kathryn Woods tendedto express her lines in a slightly stilted man-ner. It was hard to decide whether or notshe was really mourning over her unre-quited love for Konstantine. Biggs asTrigorin was one character that certainlycame across as outstanding. He depictedthe writer as confident and successfulproviding the ideal father figure for Nina. Imust admit, I was entranced by his perfor-mance, but alas, I was later to discoverChekhov wrote him to be a bit disheveledand detached from the world around him.

As for other aspects of the performance,lighting, music, and set were well done,while consuming and blocking were lack-ing. The size of the theater was small, butwhat space was available was used quite ef-fectively. The fact that the actors werealmost in one's lap was actually conduciveto understanding each character's innerstruggles. The fact that actors' backs facedthe audience at certain times was not.

Overall, I would say this production maywell be worth the bother to hazard theperils of Central Square to see it, but ifChekhov himself were around, he probablywouldn't even recognize it as his own.

The Seagull, by Anton Chekhov, directed byJane A rmitage, at the Peoples Theater,Cambridge, Thursdays through Sundays toMay 23, Tickets $5.50 (Thurs., Sun.) and$7.00 (Fri., Sat.).' Why do you always wear black?""I'm mourning for my life. I'm unhappy."

Thus begins Anton Chekhov's subtlecomedy of triangular love relationships,The Seagull. Centered about a family of ac-tors and writers, this play depicts the con-flicts between generations of artists and thefrustrations of unrequited love.

Konstantine Treplev, played byStevenson Carlback, is a young aspiringplaywright and the son of a vain provincialactress, Mme. Arkadina (played by ReneeMiller). In love with the stagestruckdaughter of a wealthy neighbor, he writes aplay in which she stars. The pay, failingmiserably, is mocked by Arkadina, thusupsetting Konstantine. Seeing little worthin such an obscure writer, the daughter,Nina (played by Kate Falk), falis in lovewith Trigorin (played by Murray Biggs, thefounder of the M IT Shakespeare-Ensemble) who is a famous novelist in-hislate thirties and lover of Mme. Arkadina.

As the play progresses, relationshipsbecome more complex and the strugglesmore frustrating when tragedy occurs andthe play ends leaving the audience with"implied" insight into the fates of thecharacters.

If anything, the Peoples Theater did ahalfway decent job. The interpretation ofthe play was a bit different, at times, fromwhat Chekhov had written, butnevertheless, some semblance of a plotcould be followed. Miller's role asArkadina was effective. You did feel con-tempt for her superficiality, but I couldn't

Diner, Rated R. Directed and written byBarry Levinson. Starring Steve Guttenbergand Daniel Stern.

There has been welcome trend in film oflate. Hollywood has been making realisticFilms about ordinary people. The success ofRobert Redford's Ordinary People atteststo how well these films have been received.There was The Four Seasons, The GreatSantini, and the lesser known Return of theSecaucus Seven. Now thd is Diner.

Diner is an intelligent film. It has afamiliar theme- the evolution from youngman to adult. It has a familiar setting- thelate 1950's - wich will no doubt bring oncomparisons with American Grafitti. ButDiner is special. It deals thoughtfully withits subject, but not too seriously, so that itcan still be classified as a "comedy-drama." The background of Diner gives aflavor for what the film is about. Writer-director Barry Levinson, who makes hisdirecting debut with this film1 wrote thescript at the suggestion of comedian MelBrooks after Levinson had been chatting toBrooks about stories dealing with the peo-ple he had grown up with in Baltimore.Five relatively unheard-of actors werechosen for the leading roles. The film dealswith this gang of closely-knit friends andthe sometimes humorous, sometimes tryingtimes they face.

It seems at the beginning that Diner

I

FRIDAY APRIL 23, 1982 THE TECH PAGE 11

might be aother of those generic '50's filmsabout cruising and tying togetherpolicemen's shoelaces for kicks. For exam-ple, one of the five close friends, Boogie(Mickey Rourke), takes bets that he canmake it with a girl on a first date, while hisfriends watch to be sure they're not cheated

- not promising material. But Diner isn'tmerely about the cliche antics of "HappyDays" life; it is about the change intoadulthood. Later in the movie, whenBoogie makes a similar bet, we expect thesame tired humor to be attempted, butLevinson throws us a twist - and we nolonger see Boogie as a mindless comicfigure, but as a human being who is con-fronted with new decisions which he is nowable to cope with. Mickey Rourke's glibstyle at the film's beginning makes his tran-sition into adulthood all the morebeautiful.

It is this unique blend of humor andseriousness which makes Diner worth see-ing. Eddie (Steve Guttenberg), another ofthe central five, presents this formula indealing with another of the film's issues-marriage. Eddie has a fiance he's not surehe wants to be married to. He asks his mar-ried friend Shrevie (Daniel Stern) what it'slike. Shrevie gives a speech extolling howsingle life is better, yet adds "but marriageis nice." And that is enough to reassure Ed-die. Eddie's adolescent-level maturity is

further characterized by his fanatic love ofthe Baltimore Colts. Before he agrees tomarry, his wife must pass a quiz on foot-ball. It's funny stuff. Eddie later goesthrough changes, but the humor of theearlier scenes still remains as a wonderfulbalance to the film's serious moments.

Perhaps the one fault of Diner is that ittries to deal with too much. The film,which lacks a central plot, sometimesseems morass of subplots, and it is easy toget confused with all the interrelationshipson the film. Besides the major characters,there are other roles of importance, and thefilm tries to deal with them all, at the ex-pense of any in-depth character develop-ment.

But there are so many positive things inthe film to keep the audience entertainedthat this is not a major drawback. Themain plus- the fine blend of comedy withserious subjects- is due to Levinson's ablewriting. The script is almost always good,brilliant at times. Levinson has experience,winning three Emmy awards for his writingfor the Carol Burnett show. For those whocare to delve into the film's depths, there issymbolism also. The controlling symbol isthe diner- the link between the characters'past and future. At one point a characterremarks, "We came here (the diner) beforeto be cool. Now we're older, yet we stillcome here." The very year the film takesplace, 1959, is significant, marking the endof one decade the the beginning of a newone. For the more casual viewer, the film isworthwhile as well. Perhaps that is the bestfeature of Diner, and typical of the newtrend in ilm -the themes are ones whichpeople can easily identify with.

Technically there can be no complaints.Levinson's debut as a director comes offwell. The background details in the settingsadd to the understanding of the Film, andoften to the humor. And there is the benefitof a good soundtrack with oldies by suchartists as Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, andFrank Sinatra.

Diner is a fine addition to the new trendin Film. It brings up the real problems ofgrowing up. The film questions the respon-sibilities one faces in adulthood. But withall of the troubles and tensions thecharacters face, there is always the relief ofeach others company. There is comfort inthe realization that "there is always thediner."

By Eric R. FlemingMIT's softball team (3-2) took

it on the chin Tuesday, suffering a3-0 loss to WPI on Briggs Field.Despite the loss, top Engineersearned a berth in the MWassa-chusetts AIAW tournament,which takes place today.

The story of this game waspitching and defense. MIT'sCindy Robinson, who hassparkled on the mound all season,breezed through the first four in-nings, giving up just one walk.Robinson was helped by aflawless Tech defense, with thirdsacker Laurel Carney '83 andshortstop Lou Jand~ura '84 miak-ing a pair of good plays to keepthe door closed.

M eanwhile, ·WPI's pitcher heldMIT scoreless, inducing manyTech hitters to pop up into a stiffbreeze blowing in from right field.MIT's best chance to score camein the fourth inning. Catcher Ter-ry Felts put a bunt down for asingle. Felts stole second as a fakebunt by Carney left no one tocover the bag. Carney subse-quently bunted Felts over tothird. At this point, however, thethreat ended as Jandura andRobinson flied out to end the in-ning.

By, Johnr DeRubeis Although MIT's varsity heavy

weight crew team lost its openerto Columbia and Temple Univer-sity, Tech came back to theCharles River last Sunday to enda 14-race losing streak in a veryspectacular fashion, beating theUnited States Coast GuardAcaderny by a narrow margin oftwo-tenths of a second.

in four minutes, 50.7 seconds, fol-lowed closely by Coast Guard at4:50.9.

The oarsmen responsible forthe victory were (bow) TonyJones '83, (2) Bill Nunan '82, (3)Toni Stephien '83, (4) BobKukura '84, (5) John Magnusson'84, (6) Ted Jenson '82, (7) MarkSchaefer '83, (stroke) Mike Sizoo'83, and (cox) George Gruetz-macher '82.
