Two uniors urge changesin non-science currculum

By Paul Johnstonl vo juniors in Political Science

have submitted to their depart-WInt a paper criticizing the Insti-tute curriculum as it applies tothent and other non-scientists andcalling for a basic re-evaluation ofthe purposes and specifics of thatcurriculum.

"DisenfranchisedThe writers of this "manifesto"

-as they refer to' it-were JimWOods and Jim Smith. The mainPoint of their paper is that thepresent curriculum, which was de-Signied on the assumption that allundergraduates come here to ma-Ir in science or engineering,thereby "disenfranchises" thoseStudents who in fact come to MITf for ion-science majors.

The sec.nd yearThe brant of the criticism of

the paper, is placed upon the

second-year program of 36 hoursscience area electives and 12 hoursof laboratory. The paper quotesthe CEP's 964 report as sayingthat the purpose of this sopho-more schedule is to "provide anarena in which all departmentsmay compete for the students'favor", and that it also serves to,allow the early concentrator to"plunge immediately" into hismajor. The paper's appendixshows that only 58 percent of thedepartments offer science areaselectives, and even a smallernumber offer a laboratory. Hence,while a Course VI major maysatisfy 24 hours of his "distribu-tional" requirement and lab withhis own major, the non-scientistis left with all 48 hours which arenot only, "distributional" but infact irrelevant.

It will be the performance of"Apollo," a ballet by Igor Strav-insky and George Balanchine,starring Edward Villella and Pat-ricia McBride. The ballet will beintroduced by the noted musiccritic, Bernard Haggin. For 44years, Haggin has been the musicworld's chief iconoclast. "I ambound to report what I hear," hewrnrites, "and the reader then isfree to find what I say to be trueor not true for him." In thisspirit, Haggin rarely fails to ful-fill a basic function of criticism.He sends the reader - delighted,perplexed or steaming mad -back to the music.

Refrains from politics sees si gnifanee

By Dave Kaye

Presided over by Bob Horvitz'68 and attended by 16 delegates,including Bruce Ender '69, thefirst meeting of the Boston Inter-collegiate Council was held Wed-nesday evening in the InscommConference Room.

Limits activities

Ultimately, the group decided tolimit its immediate activities toonly four projects. Noting that inpast years two schools foundthemselves paying transportationcosts for the same entertainers,the Council hopes to coordinatethe booking for social events.Magnanimously, in what was evi-dently a gesture of good-will, thedelegate from Boston State of-

fered council members tickets tohis school's first concert of theyear.

A minor delay arose in the dis-cussion of publishing a directoryof student activities and organi-zations when the group's publicrelations chairman was unable torecall his telephone number.

A number of smaller schoolswere concerned with obtaining ac-cess to the library facilities ofother colleges. In particular, anindividual from University of Mas-sachusetts (Boston) was heard tocomment that "A library like thatof MIT would be of great useto us."

In the realm of educational re-form talk of a conference ensued

ExecComm Member-at-Large-

ONff- TtE, SPO T(Dave Peterson '68 is Member-at-Large of the Executive Com-

mittee of Inscormm, and is also Chairman of the StudentCommittee on Environment.)

The Tech: Last week's Institute Committee meeting was excep-tionally long and many people voiced dissatisfaction over the longdelays about electing Spring-Weekend Committee members. Whatdo you think were the reasons for the difficulties at the meeting?

Peterson: In the first place, the meeting was not exceptionallylong. Inscomm election meetings have always lasted several hours,even when some of the candidates were uncontested. The factorthat made this meeting unusual was a minor change in format thathad been designed to shorten the election. Clcealy it failed miser-ably. The Executive Committee was to make strong recommenda-tions for candidates obviously outstanding, and these recommen-dations were to have. been followed unless there were strongobjections from the floor. To answer your question, the difficultiesarose from the fact that this change was in the wrong direction.Under this and the previous format a committee structured likeIrnscornm can not efficiently conduct as many elections as it has.

The Tech: About how many elections must Inscomm conducta year?

Peterson: We must elect about 30 people in 8 elections per year.The Tech: Do you see a possibility of streamlining the present

election procedure, which involves Executive Committee interviewswith the candidates, speeches by the candidates at Inscomm meet-ings, recommendations by the Executive Committee, and finallydiscussion and election by the voting members of I.nscomm?

Peterson: Definitely. The problem in the last meeting was thesame as in previous election meetings in that the voting membershad no efficient way of expressing their opinions about the candi-dates. Inscomm is too large for the group to reach a quick consensus,but too small for a member to comfortably vote without expressinghis reservations and recommendations, and so forth. It may benecessary to reorganize Institute-Committee itself once again. ButI think a major problem lies with the-Executive Committee. InstituteCommittee should be given a well researched set of informationabout each candidate with accurate recommendations -from someexecutive-type committee, including the opinions of Inscommmembers'.

The Tech: But wouldn't an election procedure depending oneven very clear and strong recommendations by the ExecutiveCommittee, assuming they are heeded, take away some of theprerogatives and powers of Inscomm?

Peterson: No. The problem now is that Inscomm spends in-ordinate amounts of time relating the opinions and analysis ofindividual members - opinions which were not necessarily pre-viously considered by the. Executive Committee. It is 'clear frompast experience and especially from the last meeting that Inscommis not willing to accept any recommendations no matter how strong,unless their opinions are voiced at the election meeting. Tradi-tionally, in spite of long, often disorganized meetings, the candidatesrecommended by the Executive Committee and particular com-mittee chairmen involved are elected anyway. If the opinions ofInscommr members are incorporated into these recommendationsand the reasoins behind- each recommendation are. cited briefly and completely at all election meetings, then Inscomm can reasonably and comfortably ratify such recommendations, unless the recom- mending body has clearly erred. The problem now is that an elec- ttion meeting is a pcior format for correlating all relevant information about all candidates.

The Tech: Moving to aother topic, what does Inscomm expect to gain from the MIT Myth Conference?

Peterson: Most of the worth of Inscomm as representative of hthe student body comes from feedback to the faculty and adminis- tration and in the -work of the subcommittees. The conference is designedto provide information which will expedite the effectiveness tof subcommittees on certain areas of practical interest to the student

Lab requirementTo the Editor:

Your October 13th editorialurging the elimination of the la-boratory requirement for human-ities and social science majorsbegs the question: Does the lackof direct application imply that a-subject is a waste of time? Thebroadening of the undergraduatecurriculum begun a generation agoat MIT stems from *an educationalphilosophy which seeks to expandthe common ground held by thescientific and the historic pointsof view. In his efforts to human-ize our engineers and scientists,the teacher has become studentas well, learning the scientist'smethod and opening the door togreat liberalization of the "liber-al" arts. This is the message thatMIT carries for people, like my-self, whose major interests 'liheoutside the physical sciences. Asa student of economics, I valuethe immediately useful tools, likeapplied mathematics, just as theengineer or scientist values theability to construct an Englishsentence. But our common domainhas spread beyond these obvious,utilitarian areas. If Aristotle hassomething to say to the physicist,the economist can learn fromMaxvell. While -it is possible to

suit which resulted in the Su-preme Court decision outlawingprayer in public schools. Shealso described another suit cur-rently in court which is intendedto force churches to pay taxes.Such actions on her, part, Mrs.Murray added, have resulted in"harassment" by church andgovernmental authorities.

In the question and answer peri-od that followed Mrs. Murray'sprepared remarks, a number ofnovel inquiries arose. Mrs. Mur-ray was born into a Presbyterianfamily, but became an atheist atage 13, when she "woke up."When pressed about why she"awoke" at that age, she com-mented, "Some people attain ma-turity at different ages. I don'tthink LBJ is ever going to makeit."

Harvard experienceWhen questioned about

speech at Harvard the nightfore, Mrs. Murray said thatwas never so poorly andcourteously received as she

herbe-shedis-was

at Harvard. It was the only col-lege speech in which she everwalked out on the audience and,in addition, "They didn't laughat my jokes."

A coed asked what Mrs. Mur-ray thought about pot for fresh-man girls. Mrs. Mfurray's replywas that she had tried pot re-cently and that it was "coolstuff." However, a girl shouldn'ttake pot until you're about 70"because a girl of college age"hasn't had enough experienceto have anything to introspectabout."

A recent wind storm in Corval-lis, Oregon caused a power fail-ure which in turn caused a raidon an Oregon State Universitygirls dorm by an estimated 200males. Accompanied by cries of"They're going to rape us!" theboys, armed with red flares andfirecrackers, charged throughSnell Hall. Most of the femalesweren't the least bit helpful tothe invaders, but there were scat-tered incidents of girls openinglocked doors, allowing the boysinto the building. Some reactionsfrom the girls: "It was groovy;""They were like animals;" "Iwish the lights would have stayedout longer;" "Better luck nexttime, boys."

A night on the town

Have you ever started study-ing, while at the same time wish-ing that your evening were filledwith more excitement than theusual academic fare provides?Two University of Minnesota stu-dents found themselves in thissituation recently; they also founda remedy. Jeffery Young, a fresh-man, and Henry Neuman, a jun-ior, left the campus ait about 9pm, determined to crash theFrank Sinatra-Milton Berle showat the St. Paul Auditorium. Aftersome initial difficulty .the pairproceeded to the auditorium. "Wefound one door that was open,"Young said. "We went in, wentdown some stairs, then up somestairs, and ended up in the bal-cony." At this point Sinatra wason stage, so Young and Neumanhopped the balcony rail andwalked to the front of the audi-torium to get a better view. Theysat near some Secret Service menwho were guartli-i Vice PresidentHumphrey, who was in the audi-ence.

After the show the two wentbackstage and shook hands withHumphrey and Milton Berle. Whenthey tried it again, they were

stopped by Secret Service men,so they picked up instrument cas-es and masqueraded as orches-tra members. In this disguise thepair found their way down to theprivate garage where Sintatra'sand Hunphrey's limousines werewaiting. In the garage the stu-dents got autographs from Sina-tra, Berle, and Nancy Sinatra,Trini Lopez, and Humphrey.

Sick hippies

According to Dr. Ellis D. Sox,city health director of San Fran-cisco, college meals may take onnew flavor this year. Many of theHaight-Ashbury hippies, some ofwhom will be taking jobs in col-lege kitchens, have contractedhepatitis an dother "social dis-eases."

A student at the University ofMinnesota has started a' move-ment to promote "the image ofgargoyles on campus." MarkKatz, a College of Liberal Artssophomore, sits on the ledge ofone of the college's buildings twohours a week. When people askhim what he's doing up there, hesays, "I'm lying up here verycomfortably. What are you doingdown there?" That's a good ques-tion.

By Paul Kantner

The current issue of Tangent

(dated Spring 1967) is easily the

most worthwhile recent number of

that magazine. Consisting mostly

of prose and poetry which reached

the finalist stage of MIT's Boit

Literary Competition, this volume

has none of the amateurishness

that could have crept in. The onemajor flaw is again the self-con-sciousness of the writing - arti-ness as opposed to artfulness. Mostof the contributors' minds are onthe artifice of the piece ratherthan the experience.

Highlights of students' worksThe longest and most involved

piece is Robert Sultan's 'To Kar-yn,' the only prose in the issue.There is unnatural use of symbols

('The Big Picture' and MickeyMantle being the most offensiveinstances), but on the whole tiisis a sharp picture of the growing-up process.

The two poems by Michael Har-ris are easily the best. 'Colours ofCalifornia' reflects infinite beauty,both visual and spiritual: 'Fear'touches with fine delicacy thehaunt of death. Peter Rittner's'Bottle in Lot' is another outstand-ing item.

Poems by RoethkeIn addition to undergraduate con-

tributions, five poems by profes-sional Theodore Roethke are pre-sented. Although these nature po-ems must be considered the out-standing works here, it is reallyunfair to compare them with am-ateur efforts. Tangent should bethe MIT literary magazine, ex-cluding works of outside sources.The announced intent to continueto include the poems of profession-als is to be regretted, despite theobvious quality thus obtained.MIT's own writers 'show enoughpromise to fill future issues bythemselves.

(Continued from Page 1)dependently in tandem with thecompany's acrobatic male virtuo-so, Edward Villella.

Mr. Villella, who joined theNew York City Ballet Companyin 1i56, rapidly rose to becomeits leading dancer. Strong intelli-gence, phenomenal physical abili-ty, musical and emotional sensi-tivity as delicate as antennae arethe attributes Villella has nour-ished in his gradual perceptionof what dancing is about. Forhim, dancing is ballet. "Let metry to explain how it is in mycase," said Villella slowly,"There has never been anythingthat I liked to do better thandance. That is to say: dancing forjoy. I know exactly what thatmeans! I am only half a livewhen I am not dancing; I amfully alive only when I dance."

Recently the Left Banke head-lined a concert-mixer in Rockwellcage. Despite unfortunate circum-stances they staged an entertaining concert, dividing fifteen num-bers between two sets. Technicaldifficulties with the PA system,however, hampered their perform-ance. Between sets I talked tothe four touring members of thegroup.

Early hstoyThe Left Banke originally con-

sist6d of five members: pianistand songwriter Mike Brown, vo-calist Steve Martin, guitarist RickBrand, bassist Tom Finn, anddrummer George Cameron. Theycame out with two big singles in"Walk Away Renee" and "PrettyBallerina," which hit 8 and 15 re-spectively on Billboard. Their firstalbum, which reached 67, expand-

'ed on their basic Baroque sound.They toured with manager HartryLookofsky often serving as one ofthe backup violinists. Then Browndecided not to tour any more, andhis place was taken by EmnmettLake at touring pianist, althoughBrown continued to write and pro-duce for the group as well asplay in recording sessions.

Tw~o :Left, Bankes?Next Lookofskhy, who as manag-

er held the contract, and Browncompletely split away from theothers, forming a new group whichthey called the Left Banke. Their"Ivy, Ivy," written and producedby Brown, only made it to 119 na-tionally. The other four originalmembers sued Lookofsky to thehilt. 'While Alis was ,happening,"She May Call You Up Tonight"was released by the original group(it had ben recorded before Brownleft); it flopped completely. Thenthe suit was decided against Look-ofsky, and Brown rejoined thegroup. Ernmmett Lake is now outfor good, and the members don'twant another pianist on tour.Brown still doesn't tour, although

iree," and he still records withthem. The group now has anotherguitarist in Steve Martin insteadof a pianist. This gives a pecuiarsound to such songs as "PrettyBallerina," which were originallyrecorded with piano and heavystring backup. Of course, it makesother songs which they didn'twrite sound more normal.

individual abilitiesTheir "A Day in the Life'. has

a beautiful crescendo for suchsimple instrumentation - guitaristBrand pulls this olff well. He alsoshines on "What Do You Know,"a country and western numberwith some fine twangy picking.He can't approximate the virtuesof piano and properly tries to in.ject his own style into the music,rather than Brown's. Yet he isprobably the weakest member ofthe group. Martin, although anegligible talent on guitar, is abeautifully smooth vocalist, (Bronxaccent, nasal tone and all) who isperfectly suited to Mike Brown'ssongs. It is Brown himself, how.ever, who sets the group apartHis songs aren't at all musicallysophisticated; their sole redeem.ing virtue is their intrinsic beauty.

New single"Desiree" is the group's fist

single since "Pretty Ballerinathat hasn't had significant handi-caps from the front office. A' slightdeparture from their former style,more rocking tln their previoussingles, it will probably not reach,say, the national top ten, but itshould return to the group a sen-blance of the prominence theyused to enjoy.

He came close but didn't reallyaciieve the gentle, flowing moodnecessary here. Two preludes"La Puerta del. Vino" and "Feuxd'Artifice" by Debussy closed theconcert. I was quite impressedhere at the strength of both themusic and the performer and amsorry that these pieces were notmore enthusiastically received.

By Orville Dosn

MiT's classical music seasonopened last Monday evening witha fine piano recital by EliasLopez. He stressed contemporarymaterial, particularly that ofLatri Amerienm composers. Mr.Lopez himself proved to be ahighly skilled performer, onewith very good understanding ofhis material but with a tendencytowards exaggeration.

The program opened with "5 Ep-linist, and William Constable, cel-by Sergio Cervetti. This music,written in 1965, was fairly exeri-mental. It dealt in changingmoods and patterns of tones, alllhe while utilizing unusual effectsfrom all three instruments. Coor-dination was excellent betweenNr. Lopez, Miss Exica Miner, vio-list. This coordination and techni-ist. This cordination and techni-cal mastery of the musicians waslargely responsible for the suc-cess of this difficut work.

Copland Sonata ExcellentAaron Copland's Sonata for Pi-

ano followed and highlighted theevening. Here Mr. Lopez could letloose all the power ard contrastshe desired. This sonata, unlikemany of Copland's more popularworks, is very un-melodic. It isbuilt from several short, rhyth-mic motifs and stresses structure,particularly the first movement.Mr. Lopez's periormance wasspectacular, yet not superficial.He seemed to solidly ,owv thepiece and injected into- it plentyof his own interpretation whichmeant quick tempos and dramaticcontrasts.

The first half oI the programclosed with the brief "Tema y 6Diferencias" by LRafael Aponte, aPuerto Rican composer. Thispiece, writtten in lg~3, seemed touse a very narrow range of varia-tion and did not fit togetiher verytightly. However, it was per-formed well and energetically.

The'remainder of the programwas much more familiar to -theaudience. It opened with an earlywork of Robert Schumann - hisFantasie Op. 17. in this pieceMr. Lopez's style clashed with themusic he performed. The secondpart of the Fantasie, althoughmarked to be played "argrily"was too fragmented. There really

By Roger DearAlpha Phi Omega is MIT's

twenty-ninth fraternity. However,APO does not have a house, rath-er it has an office on the fourthfloor of the Student Center, forAPO is a service fraternity. Thechapter at MIT is one of over400 chapters throughout the na-tion. This national fraternity isthe largest service organizationon the collegiate level.

Originally, APO was founded in1925 at Lafayette College by four-teen students who wished to see

U the principles of the Scout OathLU and Law extended to the college,u level. The main goal of the fra-

ternity today is to advance oncampus the universal principles ofservice, fellowship, and leader-ship. MIT's Alpha Chi chapter iscomposed of thirty active broth-ers and approximately thirty-fivepledges (most of whom are fresh-men). Over the summer and dur..ing the past few weeks, the brothors have attecmpted to acquiintfreshmcn with APO by invitirg '

them to barbeques, open houses,and open meetings.

Many services offeredThe fraternity offers a large

range of services to the MIT com-munity. Their largest single ac-tivity is the annual APO SpringCarnival. Everyone is invited tothis carnival which is held inRockwell Cage. Last year over3,000 people joined in the festiv-ities. Thirty booths were set upand a profit of $700 was made.This money is put into the fra-ternity's service fund, which isused only for service projects. Aseparate chapter fund takes careof the fraternity's normal oper-ating costs.

Another annual fund raising rffair is the U.MoO.C. (Ugly Maz"on Campus) contest which is heldin December. Last year was thefirst contest since 1957, and fourcandidates participated. There isa one penny charge for each vote,with the winner receiving a trav-elling trophy. Last year, the pro-ceeds from the contest amountedto $500, and were donated to theAmerican Cancer Society. APOalso co-sponsors the annual RedCross Blood Drive with the T.C.A.Last year's drive contributed 1924pints of blood, a newv peace-timehigh. The organization of Fresh-man Orientation Week is also han-dled by the fraternity.

APO offers many year roundservices too. Their silk screeningfacilities are the most extensiveon campus, and at least one halfof all posters are made at a lowcost by the fraternity. A newslet-ter is published every two weeksto keep the brothers informed ofcampus activities. APO also of-fers assistance as ushers in num-erous concerts in Kresge Auditor-ium and at the Junior Prom.

Outside seervice projectsThe fraternity does not restrict

itself to helping only members ofthe MIT community. They takecharge of conducting a swimmingand lifesaving course at Alumnipool for underprivileged BoyScouts. Many times the fraternitywill go away for a weekend upto a camp, not only to help im-prove the camp, but also to en-

joy themselves. Twvo years ago,twenty brothers spent three con-

THERE ARE NO BAD TEACHERS;THERE ARE ONLY BAD STUDENTSThe academic year has only just begun and already

one thing is clear: you're not ready for college.What, then, should you do? Should you throw up your

hands and quit? I say no! I say you must attack, grapple,cope! I say America did not become the world's leader inmotel construction and kidney transplants by runningaway from a fight!

To the question then: You say you're not ready for col-lege. You're too green, too naive. You lack maturity.

Okay, the answer is simple: get mature. How? Wellsir, to achieve maturity you need two things:

a) a probing mind;b) a vest.A probing mind will be quickly yours if you'll remem-

ber that education consists not of answers but of ques-tions. Blindly accepting information and dumblymemorizing data is high school stuff. In college you don'tjust accept. You dispute, you push, you pry, you chal-lenge. If, for instance, your physics prof says, "E equalsmc squared," don't just nwrite it down. Say to the prof,"fly?"

This will show him two things:a) Your mind is a keen, thrusting instrument.b) You are in the wrong major.Ask questions, questions, and more questions. That is

the essence of maturity, the heart and liver of education.Nothing will more quickly convince the teachers that youare of college calibre. And the tougher your questions,the better. Come to class with queries that dart and flash,that make unexpected sallies into uncharted territory.Ask things which have never been asked before, like"How tall was Nietzsche?" and "Did the Minotaur haveticks? If so, were they immortal?" and "How often didPitt the Elder shave?"

(Incidentally, you may never know the complete an-swer to Pitt the Elder's shaving habits, but of one thingyou can be positive: no matter how often he shaved andno matter what blades he used, lie never enjoyed theshaving comfort that you do. I am assuming, of course,that you use Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, alogical assumption to make when one is addressing col-lege men-which is to say men of perspicacity, discrimi-nation, wit, taste, cognizance, and shrewdness-forPersonna is a blade to please the perspicacious, delightthe discriminating, win the witty, tickle the tasteful,coddle the cognizer, and shave the shrewd.

(I bring up Personma Super Stainless Steel Blades be-cause the makers of Personna Super Stainless SteelBlades pay me to write this column, and -they are in-clined to sulk if I omit to mention their product. I wouldnot like to see them unhappy, the makers of Personna,for they are fine ruddy men, fond of morris dancing andhome brewed root beer, and they make a blade thatshaves closely and cleanly, nicklessly and hacklessly, andis sharp and gleaming and durable and available both indouble-edge style and Injector style.

(And from these same bounteous blademakers comesBurma-Shave, regular or menthol, a lather that out-lathers other lathers, brother. So if you'd rather latherbetter, and soak your whiskers wetter, Burma-Shave'syour answer.)

But I digress. We have now solved the problem ofmaturity. In subsequent columns we'll take up other is-sues, equally burning. Since 1953 when this column firststarted running in your campus paper, we've tackldedsuch thorny questions as "Can a student of 19 find hap-piness with an economics professor of 90 ?" and "Shouldcapital punishment for pledges be abolished?" and "Areroom-mates sanitary?" Be assured that in this, our 14thyear, we will not be less bold.

The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades(double-edge or Injector) and Burma-Shave (regularor menthol) are pleased (or apprehenive) to bring youanother year of Max Shulman's uninhibited, unrwensored column.

Fortified cereals and sophisti-cated protein beverages will soonbe finding their way to theworld's hungry millions said Dr.Aaron Altschul, Department ofNutrition and Food Science, ina presentation cerenmony honoringhim last night at Boston's Mu-seum of Science.

Fifth winnerDr. Altschul was chosen by

MIT to be the recipient of thefifth annual Underwood-PrescottMemorial Award, established in1962 by the William UnderwoodCo., oldest food canners inAmerica. The.7award is bestowed

in memory of the late WilliamnUnderwood, grandson of ,the com-pany's founder, and of the lateSamuel Cate Prescott, MIT'sfirst Dean of Science.

Speaking in hnis capacity ofSpecial Assistarnt for InternationalNutrition Improvement to thne USSecretary of AgriculEture, Dr. Alt-schul described the goals andefforts of various scientific bodiesand the United Nations in partic-ular to meet the world food prob-lem. In his address, he pointedto the fortification of cereals andcereal flours with proteins andthe formulation of entirely new

Aesthetic satisfacttin

In addition, aesthetic satisfac-tion can be achieved by the cre-ation of new textured fooIs,such as bread, as well as proteinspreads, fortified baked goods andprotein desserts. Dr. Alts¢bulcited bread as one 6f man's great-est inventions as it transformedstructureless flour into a texturedmaterial.

New foods can be derived di-rectly from plant sources, frmfish or even from non-agriculturalmaterials, according to Dr. Alt-schul. In fact, maldking the most ofthese sources is an absolute neces-sity since animal sources will bein ever shorter supply for com-ing generations.

Fortified shipments

Dr. Altschul outlined the pres-ent goals for conbatg world-wide hunger. "By 1969 all emerg-ency' shipments of grain will befortified to the optimal extenteither with amine acids or withprotein concentrates. By 1970, allimports (to developing countries)of grain will be fortified, and allgrain processed in large urbancenters in developing countrieswill be fortified, to the maimumnpossible extent.

"We are encouraging the foodindustryr," he continued, "to in-vestigate the posibilities of de-veloping new foods-in mrmtrieswhere there is a shortage ofprotein." He alluded to projectsin which American companieswere developing a protein bever-age for El Salvador, a soybeanbeverage -and food products forBrab, and new foods from wheatprotein concentrate- for Tunisia."Our goal is a billion cups addi-tional protein beverage by -i9,"he said. This would be equivalentto adding a million tons of pro-tein to the world protein supply,

forced declarer a third and fataltime with his last heart. Since henow had two trumps to declarer'sone, he could not be stopped fromtaking a third trunp trick to setthis "cold" contract.

t

Of the many lines of play avail-

able to the defense, one of themost useful is the forcing game.

Rather than use their trumps for

ruffng purposes, the defenders

try to make declarer exhaust his

own trmp supply by forcing him'

to ruff at every opportunity. If

they are successful, one of the de-

fenders will be left with more

trumps than declarer.

Even the most secure contracts

can sonetimes be defeated by

this technique. In today's hand,we have an example of such a sit-

uation. Declarer thought there

was never going to be a problem

with the hand, but perfect defense

proved him wrong. At least-he

had the consolation, though, of

knowing that there was nothing hecould have done to prevent it.

The opening bid was a WeakTwo Bid, now preferred by mosttournament players to the stand-ard forcing two bid. A weak twobid usually suggests a good sixcard suit with a total of 6 to 12high card points. North's responsewas forcing. It asked -Soath tobid a side feature if he had a bet-ter than minimum hand. South'schoice of rebid was a toss-up be-tween 3 Clubs and 3 Diamonds.Either way North would havegone on to game.

West found the best openinglead of a low heart. East won thetrick with the Ace and returnedanother low heart. With the Qin dummy, South would haveliked to have had something todiscard. Unfortunately, since hestill had to lose two top trumptricis, he had no alternative butto ruff. West took South's J ofspades lead with the K, and re-turned the K of hearts, pinningdummy's Q in the process. Southwas again forced to ruff, but thispresented no problem if thetrumps were breaking 3-2. How-ever, when he led out his Q ofspades and East showed out, heknew the end had come. Westwon the second trump lead and

Sweep top six places

By Ron Cline

Monday the varsity golf team

improved their season record to

2-1 by defeating both Boston Col-

lege (4-3) and Bentley College

(-1).

The win over Boston College

gains added significance with the

realization that just one week ago

BC won the right to represent

New England in the ECAC cham-

pionship this weekend at Beth-

page, New York. Boston Collegewon qualifying round at Watch-

hill, PI, by nine strokes.

Banner wins two

Team captain Gerry Banner '68

paved the way in the number one

spot by firing a 34-43-77, .defeating

BC's ace, Pete Sennot, 2-1 and

also rubbing out Bentley's top

contender. Tech's number two

man, Tom Thomas '69, shot an

81, winning his Bentley match. He

lost to the BC opponent, who went

even par for 13 holes. Mike

McMahan '69 also -split, losing to

BC. McMahan lost out by bogey-

ing the 375-yard 2nd hole, al-

though making a very nice-recov-ery of a 77 total, and ending oneup on the 20th hole.

Smolek medalist

Don Anderson '70 won both ofhis matches with a 77. John Light'70, shot an 84, losing to both op-ponents. Ken Smolek '70 won bothof is, with the team low of 76.Tom James '68 split with his 84,but winning the deciding BCmatch.

The Tech golfers wind up theseason next Monday in a tri-angular match with Brandeis andClark on the home course. Bothteams are expected to be easy

prey for the engineers, who are

looking forward to a 4-1 Fall

record, and an excellent season

next spring. Coach Merriman's

team, led by Gerry Banner, could

come up with the best season in

recent MIT history.

By John WaxgoThe varsity cross-country team

remains in the ranks of the unde-defeated as Coach Farnham'ssquad ran Boston College into theground Tuesday at Franklin Park,15-49. Ben Wilson '70, Pete Peck-arsky '68, Jim Yankaskas '69, John

Owens '70, Larry Petro '70, andGeoff Hallock '69 conmbined forTech to take the first six placesin the meet. MIT's resarves fig-ured into the scoring, too, for Boston College's first five finished 7,9, 10, 11, and 13 for a worse-than-whitewash score.

Lead disappearsThe lead, however, was to be

short lived. Tufs came back witha determned attack and mgficklyscored the equalizer late in thethird period.

The fourth period belonged toTufts. Forcing the play into Tech'shalf of the field, the visitors soontook the lead 3-2 on the first oftheir three goals in the period.The fourth goal camne on a penaltykick and after that the Beaversjust went through the motions.

engineers dominated the play butwere scored upon because of de-fensive unwariness. The final scorecame in the fourth quarter whenBU's Maylor came in almost un-challenged and sent the ball intothe net.

The squad next travels to NewHampshire, while still looking fortheir first intercollegiate win.

BC romps over harriersThe fresh harriers ruined their

The engineers now stand at 0-1in league play and 2-5 overall.Next on the schedule is a gamewith Brandeis Wednesday after-noon. The team is looing tobreak its losing string and evenits league record at 1-1.

The depth and strength of theteam improves each meet: Tues.day, Tech not only swept the lustsix places (which may be due toru-ming against a weak tean),but also bunched the first four in.to a spread of less than a minute,with Ben Wilson breaing the tapein 24:17.2 for the 4.7 mile courseThis was Ben's first varsity cross-country victory and indicates thathe is coming along quite well irecovering from his knee injury.

Team still working

The remainder of the team is al.so striving to get into better run-ning condition, with everyone look.ing forward to the University o0New Hampshire meet at FranifPark today, hoping to add anothervictory to the already impressive-50 record. The Engineers havenot beaten New Hampshire in 15years, but team captain Jim Yankaskas summed up the team'sfeelings with "We hadn't beatenWesleyan in eight years either, sothere's always a first time. W1e'rereally going to be up for NewHamnipshire."

The UNH meet is Tech's lastdual meet of the season, leavingonly two triargular meets, theGreater Bostons and New Eng.lands (both of -which will be runon Tech's home course at Frank.lin Park), and the IC4A. AfterFriday the varsity gets a week offin which to try to work out someof those early-season injuries andget in top shape for these bigmeets, the first of which will bethe Greater Bostons ori Tuesday.
