paid $2.4 million to the City ofCambridge last year. The $510,0-00 in-lieu payment was hailed bythe MIT news office as "a 21 per-cent increase over the $420,000MIT provided to the city for1980. The sum was increased thisyear in recognition of the City ofCambridge's continuing financialsqueeze.

The squeeze was, in part,caused by Proposition 2/2, whichdecreased the property tax ratelast year without an increase inthe assessed value of taxableproperties. MIT recieved a tax cutof $258,198 in 1981, which was

'hardly balanced by the voluntary$90,000 increase in in-lieu-of-taxpayments, according to aCambridge CommunityDeveloperment Departmentreport.

Councilors want to Iwhether MIT'will get the samewindfall as last year or get doublethat windfall." The referendumwould ask to limit the mandatedcut in property taxes. If a simplemajority votes in favor of referen-dum A, the property tax cutwould be limited. If two-thirds ofthe voters are in favor of referen-dum B. Cambridge will petitionthe State Legislature to complete-ly eliminate its planned propertytax cuts.

"At the very least, MIT oughtto make up for the break they hadlast year," said Sullivan.

The city may actually profitfrom Proposition 21/2 onceproperty assessments have goneto the 100 percent of of marketvalue mandated by the Mas-sachusetts legislature, contendedValentine; "I think it is a littlepremature to say we save $280,00-.0,' mused Valentine. "Let's waitand see what 100 percent valua-tion does."

Of decreases in gasoline prices,motorists are "buying like mad,"according to the owner ofHolmes' Citgo Station.

A survey of prices for leadedregular gasoline on Mas-sachusetts Avenue showed thatthe lowest price was $1.12 per gal-lon. The Newi· York Tines recentlyreported that one service stationin, Texas lowered its price below$1 for a few hours during a pricewar.

A few months ago prices forleaded regular in the area were atleast as high as $1.33. Accordingto a representative of Lucey's BPService Station, people "are justlooking for price, not service."'Lucey's is one of four gas stationsat tin intersection outside of themetropolitan area. While Lucey'sis charging Sl.22, two of the otherstations have prices of $1.16 and$1.19. "We just can't meet theirprice. We'd be losing money,"claimed the employee of Lucey's.

Speed and quality of service atmany stations has been increasingUs the price of gasoline is decreas-ing. 'They expect the windows tobe clean.- the owner of Citgo saidof his customers. "Maybte we say'CGood Morning' where before wesaid nothing," mentioned Frank

N ationEPA eases. waste report rules-The US Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) will no longer require manufacturers of hazardouswastes to write an annual report showing how the waste has been dis-posed. Instead, the EPA will take an annual survey of ten percent of thecompanies involved. According to one official of the EPA, "What thismeans is that the only mechanism giving the agency information to pre-vent midnight dumping of toxic wastes is now being abandoned."

Engineer finds the "Masquerade" rabbit - After spending 18months searching for the bejeweled rabbit worth over $6000, the finderlocated the treasure in Ampthill, a village 35 miles from London. WhenKit Williams wrote "Masquerade," a fable for children, three yearsago, he included clues as to the location of the rabbit. Searching for thependant had become something of a mania in England. Although thetreasure could fetch as much as $50,000 at auction, the finder, who haschosen to remain anonymous has no plans for selling the rabbit.

Beatty wins best director award for "Reds"-The Directors Guildof America gave Warren Beatty the 1981 best director award for hiswork with "Reds," which he also produced, starred in, and co-authored. Alan Alda won the best television directing award for anepisode of "'M*A*S*H," called "The Life You Save."

Nine teen-agers killed in train-van collision - Apparently trying tobeat a Long Island Railroad Train travelling at 65 miles per hourthrough an intersection, a van carying ten young people was hit andhurled 150 feet by the locomotive. One teenager survived with a frac-tured skull and leg injuries and is in critical condition. The other nineoccupants were pronoucned dead within minutes of the collision. Thetrain's motorman noted that several cars had been waiting at thelowered gate when the van drove around them and the gate and ontothe tracks.

Space Shuttle delay possible - more rain has fallen on the landingsite of the Columbia. Although the launch crew took the weekendoff, there is a possibility of a delay in the March 22 launch, the thirdflight of the ship.

LocalMBTA applies for Federal government grant - The MBTA isseeking $160,000 in funds from the US government to upgrade its 16-month-old pass system. The money would be used to hire an electronicsengineer to repair the pass-reading computerized machines and thendesign a preventive maintenance system for them. The M BTA is asking$100,000 for each of 22 cars which the Washington D.C. TransitAuthority wishes to purchase. Joseph Shedrh, director of rail services atthe Washington Metro noted, "We think they're worth $15,000" each.If Meltro. decides to purchase the cars, it will use them for picking up-trash, for work trains, and for collecting revenues from stations.

Congress should soon begin deliberating on President Reagan'sproposed cuts in Federal student aid. The cuts-would be aidrastic curtailment of the nation's commitment to open highereducation. Reagan has proposed eliminating National DirectStudent Loans, the College Work Study program, and graduatestudent eligibility for Guaranteed Student Loans, and alsowants to cut other student aid programs, such as Pell Grants.

Many have decried the cuts, including Paul E. Gray '54 andother university presidents. The Undergraduate Association andGraduate Student Council sent five students to lobby Congressagainst these proposals. However, more can and should bedone.

Students should follow exhortations from the UA and manyothers and write their Congressmen not to aIccep~t these cuts. Asthe time of congressional debate draws nealr, these comments

'ill be influentiall.Student voices should also be heard collectively. Well-

orgalnized protests and rallies could ealsily and quickly make stu-dent opinions known. If enough MIT students realized theseriousness of Realgan's proposidls and devoted .ln hour or twoof' their time to public demonstration, many people inWashington aind the rest of the country would notice.

With so many colleges located in Bocston, it rally involvingstudents from many institutions should be .Irralnged. A Ilargeprotest, held perh~vaps at the Federall building downtown, shouldnotil'y Congress whalt these proposed cuts mean to students.

Organizing al Boston-wide student rally ;lgtinst the finalnciall'id cuts is it needed aind worthy pwro ect for the UA. Such a1

protest would be tin active display of student pa.rticipaltion in Inatiionall politics, Lind would belie reports of student alpathy.

The prop~sed student cuts would help milke M IT it school onlyfor the wealti-hy: students need to talke a sta nd, both individualilyflind enz maclsse, against the Administraltio n's plans to cut finalncialla I d.

To the Editor:We would like to respond to

Mr. Malchman's column of 3/12,

entitled "6rease and Frothing onthe UA trail '82."

We take extreme exception toMr. Malchman's obvious enijoy-ment of the defeat of the serious

candidates. His opinion seems tobe that anyone interested in help-ing students (i.e., by promotingrealistically feasible projectsthrough the UA) is out of hismind and not worth considering.We wonder whether Mr.

Malchman hates all people, or theconcerned ones only?

Furthermore, what's wrongwith a Homecoming King andQueen'? Does he prefer to nerd-and hopefully avoid any attacksof school spirit'? From theimbecile's point of view: thankgoodness most of you out therecared enough at least to take thatissue seriously.

Last year approximately45 percent of the undergraduatepopulation voted. We especiallywish to thank those who were ac-tively involved in our bid for VAPresident and Vice President. Ineach of them was a sincere desireto get involved and malke a dif-.ference.

Now that the results of the elec-tion are final we should work toanswer the issues raised during,the campaign.

M. Kim Fradd '85

To the Editor:I'd like to point out a number

of inaccuracies and omissionswhich appeared in the Tech's re-cent coverage of the U A elections.

First of all, the selection of theQueen and King option in theHomecoming 'referendum doesnot mean M IT will have aHomecoming Queen next year, asreported by Barry Suf-man in Fri-day's Tech. The MIT SocialCouncil may still decide to haveno Queen at all; only if it decidesto have one need the Council fol-low the referendum.

The UA Committee on Hous-ing, Dinitng, and Campus En-vironment also drafted an amend-

ment to the Bylaws of the SocialCouncil which will affect- anyfuture King & Queen elections.The amendment, which passed32-2 at the February 4 GAmeeting, reads as follows:

27.44 If this Council wishes tocorcduct a camlpus-vide election,the procedure 'for the electionrand the counting qf ballots musthe brought up and approved at aregular General Ass~vembl -Mreeting. The election, if ap-Proved b ' the General A ssembly v,

ust be condu1cted bv the Elec-tion Commirssion of theUndergraduate Association, un-less a motion is passed in theGeneral Assembil to ivaive elec-tion Comlmntission supervisioon.The second difference I have is

with The Tech's suggestion thatthe UA elections last Wednesdayhad poor turnout because ofapathy, in Tony Zamparutti'sfront-page "alnalysis" last Friday.Last year, when turnout washighest in over ten years, only 2more students voted than lastWednesday. Had the EastCampus and Baker voting boothsbeen properly run. turnout wouldsurely boken 2000. The Bakervoting booth only registered 9voters from 8:30 to 10:30, when itwas hidden in Kresge: by con-trast, after the booth was movedto its usual location, over 400 stu-

East Campus, Steve Barber toldme he offered to help provideelection booth workers, but JimTaylor never took him up on theoffer. By the time Taylor knew heneeded more workers, it was toolate.

I'd like to point out that whileapathy is widespread at MIT as itis today at most campuses, thelow turnout is heavily influencedby other reasons. Far one,transfer students or those who

change classes to graduate earlyhave little class identity. At MIT,these groups account for 10-20percent of the older classes. Theother reason for low turnout is

academic pressure. Many stu-dents told me they didn't votebecause of the 6.032 test that

night. Others didn't notice asingle election poster, which isamazing considering the thou-sands of posters up.

My third and final commentsconcern the Letter to the EditorFriday complaining about thepre-election photo of the winningcandidates on the front page.While the photo was truly"interesting and relevant to theaccompanying story," as TlheRTech said in its rebuttal to the let-ter, I feel The Tech knew what itwas doing when, it chose the par-

ticular photograph for the frontpage. A week before the electionThe Tech photographer who tookthe controversial photo told methat he thought that Segel andMeltsner would win. Consideringthe small margin of victory, 81votes, I'd say that thephotographer in question helpedconfirm his own suspicions.

Before closings I'd like to ap-plaud Finboard's decision to helpfund LINK next year. LINKreports have been well-documented and have presentedboth sides of an issue. By contrastTech articles are often shallowand one-sided. I would guess thatths is caused by failure to makethe necessary phone calls to verifvdetails and provide more useful

of the sub-sub-basement of

Building 39 comes a self-righteous

rumble! Course VI is breeding the

Master Race down there, and the

sacred discipline of Electrical

Engineering is not to be profaned

by the presence of the frivolous at

the altar! The freshman who

desires to follow the Path must be

pure- of heart- and mighty of

GPA'7o And from the bowels of

building 35 comes an answer: Ye

who wish to build airplanes, ye

must be free from sin, even in

18.03 and 6.071! Repent, sinner!

The shield of Pass/Fail will

protect you no longer, for We are

the Department, and We have

spoken: the Prerequisite is holy!

Students in Course VI and

Course XVI, if you are really in

favor of this measure, as the arti-

cle in The Tech seemed to in-

dicate, please think again: Given

these precedents, the complete

erosion of freshman Pass/Fail is

just a matter of time. From 18.03

to 8.02 is a small stepg after all,

one can imagine the argument go-

ing, EE's should have a solid

grasp of basic electromagnetism,

-right? Lean on your faculty a lit-

tle. After all, freshman Pass/Fail

is one of the things that makes

MIT different - and special. If

we lose it, an education at MIT

loses something too.

Of course, we could always

wait until they ask for your

parents' grades.

To the Editor:

The freshman year at MIT is a

time of blessedness. Supported

through difficult courses in un-

familiar surroundings by the sav-

ing grace of Pass/Fail, manyfreshmen Find the time to see

Boston, play the piano, take part

in sports, or even just go to par-

ties and learn how.to talk to peo-

ple about things not covered in

18.02. Some freshmen takecourses simply to explore areas

new to them; again, Pass/Fail

shields them frorn the conse-

quences of their youthful folly.

To the Editor:I am writing to correct a state-

ment in The Tech's UA Election

Supplement of March 9, 1982,

and to clear up a common mis-

conception.

The Tech reported that "there

are no candidates for the posi-

tions of .. the Class of 184

Member at Large (2 positions)."

It is true that no one ran for these

positions; however, this was

because these two positions do

not exist.Unlike any other class at MIT

(both presently and historically),

Our Class has eliminated the posi-

tions of Member at Large and

replaced them with a Class Coun-

cil. The decision to do this was

made by our class last year during

the spring elections when a

referendum mandating the crea-

tion of a Council was voted upon

and passed by a large margin.

Membership to the Council may

be obtained by submitting a peti-

tion with the signatures of at least

four class members.

Further, our class is unique in

that our constitution was drafted

by members of the Class Council

in conjunction with the UA

Organizational Review Groupand the GA; other classes follow

the Uniform Class Constitution

drafted in 1965) calls for standing

committees (whose chairpersons

are elected from the Class Coun-

cil) and makes provisions for ad

hoc committees (e.g. Ring Com-

mittee, T-shirt committee, etc.

membership on the Class Council

is not a prerequisite to

membership on these committees.

I thank you for your time and

attention.

Drummer Will Birch also serves asproducer, with generally good results. Heappears to be trying for a sharp, clean newwave sound in the mold of Steve Lil-lywhite. There are traces of the NickLowe/Elvis Costello power pop produc-tion sound as well. Though they draw froma variety of sources, the Records manage tosustain, an identifiable, distincitive soundon nearly every song.

Music on Both Sides sits in my recordcollection between Rawvpberries' Best andthe Records' first album. While it can'treally compare with either of these, it's stilla very enjoyable--record. In a world wheredrivel like Styx and Journey pass for AMpop, that's saying quite a bit.

Music on Both Sides, the Records onVirgin International.

A friend of mine is fond of saying,"Power pop is boring." I tend to agree.Most of the bands around these days whopurport to be making pop music are eitherdreadfully trite or just plain bad. There aresome notable exceptions: Squeeze's EastSide Story was my second favorite albumof 1981, and a standard against which allcontemporary pop can be measured. Muasicon Both Sides won't be my second favoritealbum of 1982, but it's still a pretty decentrecord.

The Records have been known primarilyas a singles band. Such tunes as "StarryEyes," "Teenarama" and "Hearts in HerEyes" have brightened the playlists of themore liberal AM stations over the last fewyears. Music on Both Sides (great title!) istheir third album, and it continues theirtradition of top-rate singles. "ImitationJeweilery" is a pop hit in the grand style- a

simple love song done from an unusualviewpoint.

There are a number of other notablesongs sprinkled throughout this album, in-cluding "Heather and Hell" and "Not SoMuch the Time." The Records continuetheir reputation for catchy lyrics, with lineslike "They're calling you the postman /'cause you always bring bad news" andi'.. with central heating turned up loud."There's nothing quite as clever as"Teenarama," but the lyrics are still farsuperior to most of what's currently beingrecorded.

The Records' music is solidly in theMerseybeat/British Invasion tradition.They've often been compared to theBeatles, and with good reason. Theresemblance is strengthened on this releaseby new lead vocalist Chris Gent, who adds-a distinctive voice to the group. On theother hand, his voice is a little thin and hisLennonesque vocal inflections grate in

Ghosts, the Coinwateenv oJnCachalot Records.

*"'The M unsters" belongs in mycamp of mental deviates.(Remember, it was the Munsitersthat originated the high Gothiccamp later adopted by Adam andthe Ants.)

A listen to "Ghosts" confirmedmy impression -the Cornateensare strange- and excellent musi-cialns, to boot. They play a catchybrand of synth-funk and add al setof improbably lyrics: "'Susanwanted .Eddie/Eddi e wasn'tr ea d y/ n o w sh e 's g oin gsteady/With a ghost.'' Is thiswhat happened to EddieMunster'? I don't know, but I'llkeep the record anyway - it'sfun.

n victoryBrown's disqualification over-turned was also denied). Thejury's reason for denial of theM IT appeal was that the "fairand equal opportunity" rule wasmeant to be used only in extraor-dinary circumstances, and the in-cident did not meet such criteria.

Both Neves and Lane were dis-appointed by Friday's events.Lane said Neves perfectly fol-lowed his strategy, and that hewould certainly have finished firstor second in his heat, thusguaranteeing him a spot in thefinals. Neves stated he felt finephysically up to the time of thefall, and that he could have keptup the pace, which was approx-imately 55 seconds at the quarter-mile. Lane, in explaining why heappealed, noted that Brown hadnot attempted to go aroundNeves (which. if contact had beenmade, would have been legal), butran up directly behind him.

Neves was not alone in fallingduring a race. Four other runnerslost balance Friday on the newtrack in the Pontiac Silverdome,either by slipping on the freshenamel or catching a toe in theseams between the boards. Thetrack conditions, plus the bump-ing by Brown, made for an unfor-tuante end to a stellar indoorseason by Neves and the M ITtrack team.

The start was bright, but theend was disappointing for MIT'sP;lul Neves at the NCAA IndoorTrack Championships Friday inPontiac, Michigan.

Neves, new England championin the 1000-yard run who Finishedsixth in the event at the NCAAslast year, came into this year's1000 with the strategy of movingin front early, thus avoiding aFight through traffic at the end ofthe race. The Brockton native didjust that, setting the pace withVirginia's Ray Brown holding onto second position. The pair ranthis way until the end of thefourth lap, when Neves was trip-ped and tumbled to the track sur-face. When he recovered, it wastoo late to make up the lostground. Villanova's John Hunterwon the heat, the second of threeto determine Saturday's eightfinalists.

After the heat, Brown was dis-qualified for running into Neves,therefore causing the fall. In addi-tion, MIT assistant track coachChristopher Lane appealed theresult of the heat, saying thatNeves was denied a "fair andequal opportunity" to compete.The appeal was denied by boththe referee and the jury of appeals(an appeal by Virginia to have

Teknekron Industries, Inc.

& Affiliates

The brilliant scientist/engineer, mistrusful of traditional corporatebureaucracy, who wants to become financially independent throughownership in a high-technology company is sought by teknekron.

Teknekron is an employee-owned organization whose growth from$0 to $60,000,000 in revenues since 1968 has occurred largely because ofa process through which successful divisions are "spun out" into newcompanies. These "spin-out" companies provide ownership for the tech-nical entrepreneur.

Says an article in Caltech's California TECH, "The difference in per-formance from conventional capitalization means is phenomenal."
