anniversary of the CFIA explo-sion. A woman sought in con-nection with- that attack hasnever been found.

Bundy's office was only oneof several damaged when a bombwent off about 1:20 am lastFriday in a women's rest roomon the north side of the- Her-mann Building's fourth floor.The bomb demolished the restroom, severely damaged abouttwenty feet of corridor and ceil-ing, and blew the rest room doorthrough a partition across thehall and into a suite where itsmashed several windows. Thesecretaries' area of the suite wasmost heavily damaged. The blastalso dislodged ceiling tiles overabout fifty feet of corridor andin the men's room on the floorbelow, and knocked somechunks out of the building'sventilation system. No one was-in the building at the time.

Ironically, Bundy himself isabsent from MIT this term. Hisoffice is being used by a gradu-ate student. Other damaged. of-fices include those of Professor

Willard Johnson, one of a hand-ful of black professors at MIT,whose field is urban studies; andthe vacated office of Alan Alt-shuler, Massachusetts Secretaryfor Transportation and Con-struction.

Authorities are seeking twolong-haired men and a womanwho were seen driving awayfrom the Kendall Square vicinityin a green truck by police re-sponding to the bomb alarm.The FBI, which entered the caseat its own discretion, is super-,vising the investigation. Agentshave been questioning HermannBuilding workers and users.

MIT officials denied news-paper reports that FBI officialshad beefed up security at MITbuildings where government re-search is done; Vice-PresidentConstantine Simonides said Sun-day night that the FBI had toldthe administration the reportswere false.

MIT has tightened security atsome buildings in the wake ofthe bombing, 'but officials werereluctant to divulge specifics forfear of rendering the measures

'ineffective. However, an IDcheck has been reinstituted atthe Hermann Building, where ithad been discontinued over thesummer.

The bombing and its after-math preoccupied several highInstitute officials last Friday,while most people here wentabout their business apparentlyundisturbed by the news. Muchof the administrators' time wasspent in dealing with the pressand attempting to counter sensa-tionalistic reports that appearedin early editions, especially thatof the Record-Arnerican [seepage 51.

A two-page typed letter re-ceived by The Boston Globe onSaturday announced that thebombing's target had been theoffice of William P. Bundy, asenior research associate atMIT's Center for InternationalStudies, and a prominent policyadvisor to former PresidentLyndon Johnson. It was for hisrole in the Vietnam escalationthat began in 1965 that Bundyhad been selected as a target, theProud Eagle Tribe's letter said.

which, according to ancientEgyptian legend, lived for five orsix centuries, was consumed infire, and then rose in youthfulfreshness from its own ashes.Like the legendary phoenLx, Bur-ton HIouse is rising out of theashes of its former self. Whatproblems are encountered by aliving group in this situation?

The new Burton is populatedby the residents of the old Bur-ton ("Burton in Exile," as theywere called - the ones who livedin Hamilton House and apart-ments in Medford last year), thepeople 'from Random Hall, agroup from McCormick whotook over one floor, a largenumber of freshmen, and variousothers.

Since the interior of the buil-

ding is brand new, a large num-ber of services have to be startedfrom scratch, and due to thediverse backgrounds of the resi-dents of the new Burton House,there was no agreed-upon housegovernment at the start of theyear. A "temporary coalitiongovernment's composed of lead-ing student politicians from thevarious groups that make up thenew Burton had been handlingthose matters which required im-mediate attention. The peoplefrom the old Burton are not inthe majority, nor are those whoformerly lived in Random Hall.

In addition, there are theindividual idealists who see Bur-ton House as a fantastic oppor-tunity to test their ideas. ofconstitutional government. Acouple of house meetings andmany smaller sessions have been By Drew Jaglorn

One of the lessons of theinaugural program early thismonth was that MIT is a schoolwith a rich and important past.The prime responsibility formaintaining the record and spiritof this past rests with the Ins-titute Archives.

The Archives, run by Profes-sor Neil Hartley and Miss Jen-kins are the central collection,of all material which documentspast and ongoing life at MIT.The files there range from suchoriginal material as the letters offounder William Barton Rogersto complete files of Institutepublications, the correspondenceof departments, administrators,and faculty committees. Also in-eluded are materials bearing onstudent life at MIT - completefiles of The Tech, VooDoo, andother student publications arekept there, as are old studentnotes and lab reports. Even leaf-lets handed out in corridors finda resting place in the Archives.

The largest portion' of theArchives comprises all the thesesstudents have written 'at MIT.They number 34,000 and restnear the papers and other worksof MIT's faculty.

The processing of new ad-ditions imposes heavy pressureson the small staff of the Ar-chives (Hartley, Bartlett, andtwo assistants), and interfereswith other archival activities.The process of adding newmaterial to the records adds tothe work load: because MIT hasno real archival program where-by material would naturally flowfrom active to inactive to ar-chival status, all material comesfrom gifts or the task of seekingit out.

And the Archives have thesame budgetary problems com-mon to most other departments.The $43,000 annual appropria-tion must pay for salaries, bind-ings, and supplies - there are nofunds with which to purchasematerials or such items as filecabinets to keep up with theever-growing collection. Thetight budget also prohibits theaddition of more staff members-who could perform a more sel-ective discarding of holdings,thus economizing on space.

ited to authorized users. Thepolicies of the Committee on

The two typewritten pages, claiming creditfor the explosion of a bomb in the Hermann Building Friday, areheaded '%whitenan Can't Win." The Tribe's insignia was superimposed

on the first page.Tonight we, the women of the Proud Eagle Tribe, have bombed the

office of William Putnam Bundy, one of the architects of the air war inVietnam. A year ago the Proud Eagle Tribe bombed the Center-forInternational Affairs at Harvard because "The Center figures out newways for Pig Nixon to try to destroy people's wars in Asia, LatinAmerica, and the Middle East, and grooms toads like Henry Kissinger,who left the Center to join Nixon's death machine. it was at the Centerthat the 'strategic hamlet program' was created."

William P. Bundy, our target for tonight, who' said of the 9uerrilawar in Vietnam, "White men can't win this kind of fight," was aprinciple architect of the air war in Vietnam.

By Bruce Schwartz-On Fridia morning it was hard to- say-

whethier the biggest problem facing MIT'sadministration was tihe .rubble' on thefourth floor of the Hermann Building orthe front page of the. Boston Record-

--American. In bold letters-across its fullwidth, the tabloid screamed, "Bomb RipsMIT," a headline conjuring visions ofBuilding Seven in ruins, its pillars lying inbroken chunks across Mass.

The placing of "the explosion

-in the men's room instead of the women'scompleted the host of inaccuracies thatexemplify the characteristics which haveearned the paper its nickname:"Wretched-American."

Bob Byers, MIT's news manager, wasenraged, Bombing are bad publicity.They result in federal' and grand juryinvestigations, angry letters from alumni,demand for expensive security measures,queries from frightened parents, and ageneral tarnishing of the reputation.Byers, called from his bed in the weehours of Friday morning, spent the day'

fighting the tarnish. When he saw theRecord's early morning:edition, he called.the paper's- offices and expressed hisdisapproval with a few selected barnyardepithets.

By the next edition, the- bomb hadmoved into the proper rest room and-theCIA had departed. The headline, how-ever, had grown.

Having spent the previous nightworking, on the fourth floor of theHermann Building, this reporter wasespecially grateful that the people drivento express their raging frustration did soon the night after the anniversary of thebombing of Harvard's Center for Inter-national Affairs.

statement was prepared and a "confer-ence" given so that* the stolid image ofChancellor Paul Gray could get onto thenoon news programs and counteract thebaleful headlines.

The evening news on' local TV featureda brief description of the blast and someclips from the pool coverage, lastingabout a minute. On the networks, MITescaped with a few words.

The significance of the anonymouscaller's rmis-pronunciation of "Hermann"(she allegedly said "Harmonn") -inter-preted as indicating unfamiliarity withMIT - see1ms- to be a Byers inventionwhich thie"press immediately accepted.The unfamillarity, of course, rules out thepossib'ility"' of' her" being a -student.Similarly, tle 3':15 am male caller was;dismissed as a crank, with little emphasismade on the' fact that the call originatedfrom inside MIT. One administrator had adifferent notion of the "Harmonn"mispronunciation - it could also be-"Harmin'," a reasonable play on wordsfor a person who detests the CIS.

Such procedures do not indicate thatMIT was, in this case, trying to hideanything. Not that the news office can'tget pretty Machiavellian. But truth wasnot being played with here (so far as wecan tell), only image. News managementis not so much the manipulation of truthas of news media, who can be notoriouslyrecalcitrant, unsympathetic or uncon-cerned with your desires, and capable ofextraordinary biases of their own.,

The Record-American provides an,-extreme example. Where did that incredi-bly incorrect, un-bylined- first edition'story come from?

The Record, unlike the relatively"professional" Globe and , Herald-

Traveler, is a scandal sheet in the grandHearst tradition. Its staffers are holdoversfrom the 1930s, "Front Page" style ofjournalism, where reporters knew everycop and every crook on every beat and inevery bar. Its politics are also a holdover,from the Red Scare eras of the 30's and

The Globes coverage was noticeablymore accurate and reserved. Chastened,the Record toned down its later versionsbut kept the headline on page onethrough Saturday. The Herald picked upthe story too late for its Friday 'editionand ran -a fairly balanced account

And, back' at the City Desk, theeditors, who see the bombing as part of anationwide terrorist conspiracy, throw iton the front page.

By Lee GiguereHappy Birthday, Wanda June,by' Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (Delta,$1.95)

Kurt Vonnegut has given upwriting novels in favor of thetheater; his first play-embodiesmuch the same elements thatwon him fame and popularity aSa novelist;

Neither the :chiracters nor the.plot are particularly impressive.Instead, the' reader's attention isgrabbed by a" se/ies"of episodes,each equally improbable andeach presented with the samesharp wit.

The thrust of Vonnegut's ef-

forts in Wanda June are quite'clear: he has chosen to ridiculethe myt h of thle adventurer, thestrong white male, aggressive inthe world and with his women.

The play turns aroundPenelope, wife of a missingadventurer. Following the dis-appearance of her husband,Penelope has become the quarryof two. other men: one a peace-loving pacifistic -doctor,.=and theother a vacuum-cleaner salesmanwho considers Penelope's losthusband, Harold, one of thegreatest men of all time. (Suchan honor the hero receives, to beadmired by vacuum-cleanersalesman.) Penelope's son, Paul,

conveniently despises both men, regarding them as "fairies". AndHarold, .for seven years, has been -

'lost in the heart of South Amer-ica, zonked out of his mind by :"blue soup" fed to him by thenatives. -

The characters are all stereo. 'typed, with the possible excep-tion of Penelope. All the men, atincluding, in a way, her-son, are competing for her-ittention, and each appears as inept as tihe next.

Throughout all this, however,Vonnegut continues to' close hL on the image. of the "great aadventurer." His apartment can inot have doorbells; instead,there are lions roaring and, 'hyenas laughing to announce vis-itors (devices which even Haroldadmits are tiring). The medicinal herb which Harold claims to'have discovered, we learn, was actually discovered some fifty years earlier by a mild-mannered -doctor. And, if the image still lingers, Vonnegut brings in -Harold's third wife (Penelope ishis fourth; he picked her up Ewhile she was working as a car-hop) Who'reveals that -he drove -.his first three wives to drink -:because of "premature ejacu- jlation." ,

The play is tremendously fun- ny, but the humor comes in, individual lines rather than being ideveloped and sustained by the istructure of the play. Like muchof, Vornegut's other work, it is. slightly disjointed, much as is .the rest of the world..

It lacks'the pacing, some ofthe polish and most of the origi-nality of that trendsetter in the"funny-western' " busness, but itmanages to'be humorous if not.hilarious.

I must first express the hopethat the western comedy fieldwill not become as crowded inthe next few years as thespy-spoof field did a few yearsback; their proliferation makingit possible for gems to lie un-

Gunshooters are notmerely good, they prefer threeto one odds as a challenge andshoot most of their victims with-out looking. Bad guys are notmerely bad, they are lined withblack crepe paper, and eitherhave villanous mustaches, orwear all black.

might need to check on pre-cedents, or ways in which pastproblems have been dealt with.When plans for setting up theMIT Commission were first dis-cussed, for example, the Ar-chives were used to research theestablishment of the somewhatsimilar Lewis Committee twentyyears ago. In short, the Archivesare not meant to be a museumof curios/ but rather exist toserve certain groups of people.

HistorySome sort of historical col-

lection has existed since the dayswhen the Institute was locatedacross the river in Boston. Prior

to 1960, material with obvioushistorical significance, gatheredby the president's office, andworks of the faculty was knownas the Technology Collectionand was merely a small branchof the Institute library system.Then, during preparations forMIT's Centennial, Bartlett wasappointed librarian for the Ar-chives and the collection wasmoved to its present location;Hartley was appointed InstituteArchivist in 1966, marking theevolution of the Archives intotheir present form as a collectionof material dealing with MIT.

House government offi-cers for the year are to beelected according to the old Bur-ton constitution.

These are the large-scale -prob-lems, but there are myriad small-er problems as well. The budgetcommittee was faced with allsorts of requests for funds tostart various services, ragir gfrom the darkroom, hobby shop,computer terminal, and themuch-vaunted electronics lab topaying for a one-year piano-tuning contract for the house'stwo pianos. In most cases it willtake many man-hours before aservice goes into operation -just a glance at the posters on thewalls discloses that the elec-tronics lab and hobby shoppeople are looking for able-bodied men to help move somecabinets, and a peek into thelibrary reveals that boxes ofbooks have yet to be shelved.

It is probably too early to tellhow the architectural philo-sophy of Burton House is work-ing out, because the commonrooms for the whole house, suchas the library and the Raths-keller, are riot yet completely

equipped. However, every nowand then an upperclassman isheard to complain about howmuch harder it is to get to knowthe freshmen on his floor than itused to be. It appears that in theold Burton, people met almosteveryone else on their floor outin the halls. Now each suite has alounge, which gets a fair amountof use. The floor lounges, how-ever, are empty most of thetime. Thus, although you areliable to meet -all of your suite-mates before long, getting toknow the rest of the people onthe floor can be a real problemunless someone takes the initia-tive to get everybody together,so everyone can meet everyoneelse.

There are problems in BurtonHouse. However, once the ashesare swept away, the new Burtonshould indeed, like a phoenix,rise up with renewed vigor.

By Peter L. ChuLast Monday, -_Winston

Churchill III warned Americanot to continue its current trend-toward isolationism in foreignpolicy. Churchill, grandson ofthe famous Winston- Churchillwho was the Prime Minister ofEngland during World War II,delivered his warning message ata lecture here at MIT in KresgeAuditorium. Churchill is a warcorrespondent of. the LondonTimes, and is considered an ex-pert on Middle East affairs. Thelecture was sponsored by LSC.

At the lecture, Churchill saidthat if American is0lationalisttrends continued, Russia wouldgain a stronger and stronger holdon the world until a major warbetween the U.S. and Russiawould be unavoidable.

Russian gainsChurchill said that Russia has

already gained a considerablystrengthened position in- theMiddle East as a result of Ameri-can isolationist tendencies. In'-the guise of "aid'" to Arab coun-tries, Russia has built up-itsnaval and armed forces in. theMiddle East. He added that Rus-sia now has major naval bases inAlgeria, Syria, Lybia, and Egypt.In addition, about 20,000 Rus-sian technicians are scattered allover the Middle East, indicatingthe presence of large militaryinstallations.

On a world-wide scale, Chur-'chill said that Russia has nowcompleted the construction ofabout 400 attack submarines,whose only purpose might be tosink commercial ships in thenear future. Churchill said thatRussia's fleet in the Mediterra-nea n is now built up to a size_ _ __,

and power comparable to that ofthe -United States' 6th fleet,which is also present in the area.

Narrow focusChurchill-stated that America

has kept its attention in worldaffairs too narrowly restrictedon the Vietnam area. Americahas more or less let Russia sneakin behind its back and gain a freehand in the Middle East area.

America,. he warned, mustnot negle.ct the Middle East be-cause of its great value as thesource of much of the world'soil. He said that if Russia doesgain control of the Middle Eastin the near future it will alsogain control of about 65% ofEurope's supply of oil. In effect,by gaining control of the MiddleEast, Russia will gain control ofall of Europe at the same time.

England's roleChurchill regards his own

country's role in the MiddleEast conflict to be one of an"honest broker." He does notregard England as responsible forthe formation of Israel as a state,which-many Arab coutries do.Instead, Churchill claims thatIsrael formed spontaneously andthat nothing could have stoppedits formation.

Churchill, a medium-sizedstocky man with red-brown hair,was generally well received bythe'small audience of approxi-,mately one hundred people, al-though there was some disson-ance from students from theMiddle East area during thequestion and answer periodwhich followed the lecture.

The booters dominated thegame rht to the end, staving

off Amherst with a'it de-fense and two fine- saves fromgoalie Aden.

Probably the -most en-Cobraging part of the victorywas the long-awaited settlingdown Of the Tech attack andjelling of the young- (two sopho-mores and' one freshman)- full-back line. This allowed .coach

Morrison to put right fullback'Barklis in as the center fullback,where he had, a standout -game,and allowed Mvondo to move upto center half and Eskin tocenter forward. -

point was whether the Techmencould keep up this pace and thehigh quality short-passing gamethat they had failed to sustainfor long periods of time so farthis season. They- had to do thisagainst an Amherst team thathad stayed ahead of nationallythird-ranked Harvard 1-O forthree periods.

As the second half started,the Tech booters came outcharging and continued to pressand carry the game to the visi-tors, with center half Mvondoand center forward' Rick Eskin'72 feeding wings an Glendin-ning '72 and Esref Unsal '75 tothe outside and controlling cen-ter field play.

turned in its fimest effort of theyear on Saturday, shutting outAmherst in a.well played match,1-0. The win was the first shut-out for goalie Tom Aden'72 andthe frst shutout for a Techsoccer team since 1966.

After last Wednesday's disas-terous 4-1 loss to BU, -itappeared as if the rest -of theseason was to be disorganizedand dismal, but the booters tookthe field against a tough Am-herst team determined to dis-prove this. For the entire firsthalf, the Techmen outran, out-passed, and out shot the visitorswith defensemen Ray Marotta'75, Neal Dowling '74, and EricBarklis '74 allowing only oneshot on goalie Aden, and CenterHalfback Bernie Mvondo '72controlling play in the middle ofthe field.
