By Mike McNameeAn MIT student who ignored

three Cambridge youths' requestfor a dime was severely beatenoutside the Student Center Sat-urday night.

Jonathon Braunhut '79 wastaken to the Massachusetts Gen-eral Hospital Eye and Ear Clinicfor treatment of facial injuriesafter he was held down, kickedand beaten, allegedly by threeyouths who fled into the Stu-dent Center, Campus Patrol said.

Witness descriptions of theassailants led to the arrest a fewminutes later of Paul M. Fur-tado, 17, of Cambridge, and ajuvenile suspect in the GamesRoom on the second floor of theStudent Center. An investigationto find the third suspect isunderway.

The two suspects appeared inThird District Court yesterday,where the juvenile was chargedwith delinquency and Furtadowas arraigned on charges ofassault and battery with adangerous weapon and trespas-sing after being given notice.

According to Campus Patrolreports, Braunhut was walkingby .the Student Center at10: 15pm when he was ap-proached by three youths whoasked him for a dime. When heignored them, they reportedlysaid, "Who do you think youare?", threw him on the ground,

The Keil plan - and the otherefforts - is aimed at making thefinancial and educational im-provements through organiza-tional changes. It aims for organ-izational streamlining and silnpli-fication to reflect increasinglybroad-based intellectual efforts.

"We want to build wirefences, not stone walls," Brucesaid. "In the process, we've foundthat many savings are possiblewith the new structure."

The units of the new struct-ure would be created by break-ing up the current departmentsand assigning their faculty toappropriate units. The Depart-ment of Electrical Engineeringand Computer Sciance wouldconstitute the- first unit on elec-trical, information and'computersciences; the materials and chem-ical sciences department woulddraw on faculty from the De-partments of Materials, Chem-ical, and Mechanical Engineer-ing. The mechanical and thermalsciences unit - which Brucedescribed as an "energy-orientedstructure" - would include Civiland Ocean Engineering and thetransportation section of Aeroand Astro.

"By consolidating acrossareas of broad interest, we makeroom for expanding educationalprograms and changing inter-ests," Bruce said. He pointed outthat the growth of the electricalengineering program in comput-er science to the point where itdominates the enrollment of thedepartment, could not have hap-pened if the switch had occurred

By Mike McNameeReorganization of the

School of Engineering into fourbroad-based engineering "units"has been proposed by DeanAlfred H. Keil as the outcbme ofthe School's two-year-long inter-nal review.

Backers of the Keil plan claimsignificant educational and fin-ancial benefits would result fromthe new organization, whichwould establish "units" in elec-trical, information, and com-puter sciences; materials andchemical sciences; mechanicaland thermal sciences, and civilsystems engineering.

Coming at the end of theSchool's extensive Self-AppraisalProject and after several commit-tees' -efforts to evaluate theSchool's educational needs, theplan is only one of many beingconsidered by the newly-formedCommittee on Engineering Edu-cation.

But the plan illustrates theconsiderations of the School'sfaculty as it faces an Institute-wide era of tightened resources.It reflects the School's worriesabout the role of engineeringdisciplines in a world that isbecoming, increasingly inter-disciplinary, systiems-0riented,and social-minded.

"The most interesting prob-lems in engineering today don'tfall into neat boxes like Mechan-ical Engineering, Aero andAstro, Chemical Engineering,and so forth," Associate Deanfor Engineering James Bruce '60said. "They land on the engin-eering borders, or on a combina-tion of engineering and some-

The cost of implementing theKeil plan is estimated at $10million - $5 million forimmed-iate costs and $5 million addi-tional endowment to supportnew programs. But Bruce point-ed out that the money, which isincluded in the goals for theMIT Leadership Campaign,would be needed by the Schooleven without reorganization.

The Committee on Engineer-ing Education is considering theKeil plan and other ways ofchanging the School. Bruce saidthat he expected implementa-tion of any new strucrures bythe beginning of the 1976-77academic year.

At the same time, larger ad-ministrative units will result inlower costs through economiesof scale, Bruce said. Small pro-grams which now constitute afull department will be able todraw upon the resources of alarger group without incurringbasic administrative costs.

"We see some very substantialsavings in teaching," Bruce said."Electrical Engineering, whichhas a very structured core-curriculum program. is the mostefficient department in teachingon campus. If we can consolid-ate core courses, we can bothemphasize the intellectual cornm-

Babbit used BethanyBeardslee's superb soprano mosteffectively in his "Philomel":the oldest work on the program(circa '64), highly imaginativeand impressively ambitious, butpoorly placed at the end of theevening. By comparison withworks presented earlier,"Philomel"'s delicacy appearedas weakness and its deliberate,formal pace became merely tedi-ous.

A more successful blend ofold and new was MIarcusThompson's brilliant appearanceas solo viola in the premiereperformance of Barry Vercoe's"Synapse." Vercoe's composi-tion emphasized the strengths,

both mutual and distinct, of theviola vs. the new Institute com-puter (which also printed thescore). Paul Lansky's "Mild undleise" was, similarly, an impres-sive and substantial expositionof the power and control avail-able to the electronic artist.

The late Godfrey Winham's"Two Short Computer Pieces' "were somewhat disappointing.rather in the manner of ad-vanced piano exercises: non-trivial, but undistin£ fished instyle of character.

Why am I running?I'm running for UAP because I think

it's time thie;Undergraduate Associationstopped being an administration "part-ner," by getting studetns to "participate"in the running of the Institute and ingetting us to accept things we don't want."Participation" means channeling studentcomplaints and serious student-relatedissues into dead-end committees whicheither a) do nothing, or b) submit reportswhich get pigeonholed forever if theycontain recommendations the adminstra-tion finds unsuitable. That kind of parti-cipation we don't need. The UA and itsofficers should be something all studentscan unite with and tell the administration- forcefully - what we do want and wewol't accept. A united student body canbe a powerful thing; as UAP I woulddevote all of my efforts to helping stu-dents organize to fight for things we'rereally concerned about at the Institute.

The Issues

What students at MIT have been ex-periencing over the last couple of yearslooks like a full-scale attempt by thepeople running this place to 1) restruc-ture student life more restrictively and 2)place the whole burden of financingInstitute deficits on students and indirec-tly on employees, despite the fact thatstudent services account for no more thana quarter of the total budget.

Student life is steadily becoming lessfree and more constricted. Evening classesin ever greater numbers, stricter andnarrower humanities requirements,decreased support for student activities,and above all, overcrowding of the dorms- not to mention reiterated proposals forreinstating compulsory commons and

One of the most important questionsto be answered before deciding on aUAP-UAVP team is in fact whether ornot they can work together. When thissystem of election was devised, having ateam of candidates was proposed in orderto assure that the two officers at the topwould have similar goals and compatiblepersonalities. However, what has hap-pened over the years is that the front-runner chooses one of the other possibleUAP's as a running mate thus eliminatingthe competition. In picking my VicePresident, I was only looking for someonewho had energy, ideas and who I wouldhave no trouble getting along with.

The one thing every candidate willaddress is the question of the future ofthe UA. Plainly, the UA is nothingwithout some type of representation ofthe undergraduates. I recommend a repre-sentative assembly of about 30 members-- two or three from every dorm andproportional representation of the frater-nities (probably through the IFC), thenon-resident students and the marriedundergraduates living on campus. Therereally is a need for a representative groupof students to get together and talk aboutthose things about MIT that really botherthem or those things that they feel arelacking.

I also recommend the revival of theInstitute Committee. This committeewould consist of representatives fromeach of those student activities whichprovide a student service like APO, SCC,Nominations Committee, representativesfrom the student media, and representa-tives from the Undergraduate Associa-tion, Dormitory Council and the Inter-fraternity Council. This group would beable to take on very large or new Insti-tute-wide activities which otherwise

Duke Speer,a mechanical engineering majorfrom Los Angeles, California,has served this past year with hisExecutive Committee in thesocial capacity by organizing theSenior Class Picnic last fall andinstigating plans for an Institutewide event on Spring Weekend, abeer bash and dance the week-end after finals, and a cocktailparty/reception after graduationceremonies. Past administrativeduties include serving on thePresident's Commiittee on Comi-mencement and being activelyinvolved in the commlinencementplanning process.

For the next five years, Dukeplans to continue his close con-tact with class memnbers and theMIT administration on a per-sonal basis whenever possibleand by newsletters. He has astrong desire to continue his

I feelthat this is probably the hardestpart of the job from the point ofview of motivation, since thosefunctions which will occurbefore the end of this year pro-duce more obvious results.

I have enjoyed my four yearsat the Institute, largely becauseof my extended involvementwith various activities. I fullyintend to maintain a relationshipwith the Institute, on some level,as an alumnus. I would like tostart this as President of theoutgoing class.

Over the last two and one-half years, our class has raisedwell over one thousand dollars.It's very feasible that by thistime next year we will haveraised twice that much.

There are various activities inwhich we can get involved. AsPresident of the Class of 1977 Iwill put the time and effort intogetting us together. Already Ihave recieved' many useful sug-gestions for class activities byway of replies to the newsletterwhich I recently distributed toour class. With these suggestionsI have many plans in mind whichwill be brought to action.

My primary objectives asClass President will be increasedactivities and projects..In orderto accomplish. these goals,greater communication andfund-raising will be needed.

Improved communication be-tween officers and class mem-bers is necessary before the classcan accomplish anything. Iwould like to hold open, weeklyclass officers' meetings and pub-lish a regular newsletter to get a"sense of the class." From this,we can decide what direction theclass is to take.

I don't believe that thecurrent lack of class activity isdue to total apathy. I've talkedto people who are willing towork on concerts, outings, etc.There is interest in greaterfraternity participation in classprojects. With proper leadershipthese activities can take place.

With such interest fromclass members, parties, picnics,and other social events showgreat promise for success.

As president of next year'sjunior class I hope to improvecommunication and organizesuch activities in response toclass interest. I will work tomake next year a memorableone for the Class of '78.

Being a brother of PhiGamma Delta (Fiji) Fraternity, Iwas made painfully aware ofstudent government's impor-tance at MIT as I watched theIFC attempt to deal with theLambda Chi affair.

Good administration ofour class's Lobby 7 doughnutsale should lead to higher reve-nues, which in turn will lead tomore and better class functions.If elected I will try to establish abimonthly bulletin to keepmembers of our class informed ofExecutive Committee decisions.However, Executive Committeepolicies should not be set by sixpeople alone, but rather shouldbe implemented onlyafter con-sideration of class input.

I'm willing to commit thetime and effort this positiondemands, and would appreciateyour vote.

(Conztiznuled from previous page)with more people.

I believe that the only way tolearn about something is to ex-perience it directly. As an officerI could actively participate inmaking our government workfor all those it affects. It couldbe used to help express andexecute the ideas of its mern-bers. As Secretary-Treasurer Iwill encourage opern expressionand will strive toward the fulfill-ment of the goals of the classmlemInb ers.

Steven SteinAs candidate for Secretary/

Treasurer, I believe all fundsrecieved by the class should be

DormCon, and the Rate ReviewCommittee. At the present timeI am the President-elect ofBurton House. In addition, I ama memiber of the Burton House'desk staff, and am a studentcaptain with the Student CenterDining Service. This past fall Iwas the co-chairman for ParentsOrientation on the R/C Commit-tee.

I am also involved with otherorganizations, CSC, TCA, LSC,the MIT Chess Team, and theMIT Chess Club. Last year I dida UROP with the MassachusettsCitizens Comnmittee on CriminalJustice. Fortunately, I also havetime to participate in IM Sports,as I have played on teams in

eight different sports over thepast two years.

I have found that I cannotstart a project and leave ithanging. Should a project bestarted, there must be enoughenergy in its supporters to carryit through. I feel that I posessthe ability to see things through.

Communication is essential toeffective student government.To overcome apathy and lack ofinertia, I would propose the es-tablishment of an effective two-way communication system toserve the class. This could beaccomplished perhaps by amonthly newsletter to informthe class and to involve inter-ested people in projects.

Peter Dreher feel that witlI the help of the

entire class, we can raise enoughnmoney to have a few socialoccasions. Let's prove that MITstudents can enjoy themselvesso cially!

Debra MeyersonMany of the class officers in

the past have served merely asfigureheads; having run for of-fices only because they wouldlook good on graduate schoolapplications. The primary func-tion of class officers should beto organize class activities, andto maintain a responsive medizonbetween students and adminis-tration. These responsibilitieshave not been met in the past.

First, the class board has hadthe problent of' being anony-m11OUs and obscure. A primaryconcern of mine is to make theboard more receptive and moreeasily - accessible tor questions,complaints, and suggestions. I, asClass President, would answer allletters pertaining to its func-tions, and set up a committee toencourage and seek feedbackfrom our class. We then couldplan a fundraiser and sponsor aclass activity that would p'o-mote some cohesiveness within.

This year we have had proofthat our student government(UA) desperately needs revitali-zation. We need to build moreeffective structures so that theneeds of undergraduates can bemet. Again, the problem of ob-scurity and lack of communica-tion between the student bodyand their government requiresome fresh input and ideas. I willtry to provide many with theopportunity to become involvedand/or at least know what thereis to get involved in!

T his revitalization processmust be made through studentsdevoting themselves early intheir undergraduate years anddeveloping organization throughtime. My motivation is not ashort-term commoxitment, but along term sense of responsibility.

Being sophomore Class Presidentwill provide a means by which Ican initiate this process, andattempt to open new channels ofcommnunication between stu-dents and their government.

EFor a more responsive - lessobscure class board: Vote forDebbie Meyerson.

Bruce WrobelI am running for this office

because of a strong interest instudent government and what itcan accomplish when combinedwith enthusiasm. My experienceincludes several responsible posi-tions, including president of myclass. At MIT my main activitieshave been athletics where I let-tered in Wrestling. I have not yetchosen a major, but managementis likely, I am also a brother ofSigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

I see my main task to be thecollection of class opinions to beused by the various academciccommittees which directly affect'your life at the 'tute. Anotherimportant function would be thedistribution of useful informa-tion from the administrationwhich you may have little timeto find.

I have not had the chance tomeet all of you, so I'd like toexpress my sincerity and wouldappreciate your support.

Sharon LowenheimI am running for Class- Presi-

dent so that I can sleep at night.I have always seen high

positions filled by students whojust want to be bigshots, gettheir friends on committees, orhave something flashy to put ona college application.

At least I know that if I amPresident, there will be some-body in office who cares abouthis job and wants to do the besthe or she possibly can. Asidefrom serving on the Ring Com-mittee, the Sophomore ClassPresident has no set duties. Inaddition, the class is not allo-cated any activity funds. How-ever, I plan to get in touch withthe students (perhaps through asurvey or questionnaire), findout what they expect from theirPresident and what activitiesthey are interested in, and then

find some way of making thesepossibilities into realities.

After all, every student isentitled to a concerned represen-tative in his government.

And a good night's sleep.

in a beneficial position to aidour class.

I am very enthusiastic aboutthis opportunity and would sin-cerely appreciate your support.

In fu I filling the respon-sibilities of Class President I willgear mny policies and actionstoward promoting the happiness,wellbeing, and unity of our class.I want to serve the class as best Ican. Though alone I could (to areasonable job, my experiencewith demlocracy has sihown thatno matter how knowledgeablean individual, a group tends tomake better decisions, and aknowledgeable group even betterdecisions. Therefore, I think itwould be wise to organize coml-mittees to mIake class decisionsand run class activities.

There are three activities thatI definitely want to organize forthe class. I will organize anall-day Class Picnic Party atRevere Beach. Revere Beach isaccessible by subway so that wecould leave or arrive at any time.Food, athletic equipmlent, andother details can be arranged bya class commnittee. I will organizea committee of fellow classineninterested in making a filn orslide show of our class. And Iwill organize a committee todiscuss and propose solutions toclass issues. I believe twenty MITstudents can do nearly anythingand would not be surprised if wehad a fantastic Beach Party anda terrific class revue for less thanthe present class budget.

Navin JafferIt is only during the freshman

and sophomnore years that under-graduates can really get to knoweach other. After that the classfeels more identity with theirdepartment or living group. Thatis why I believe that we, as thenext sophomore class, should tryand do things together and getto know each other really well.

Traditionally, the only thingthat the Sophomore Class Presi-dent did was assign a lfew peopleto the Ring Conmmittee, whichdecides which ring should bebought. I want to change thistraditional "duty" by having

of the class officers to find outwhat the members of the classwant to do. I propose that westart early; an activity surveyshould be distributed amongfreshmen before this spring termends. With the help of fellowclassmates, the Class of '79government can realize whateverthe class desires to do.

By Glenn BrownsteinSpringfield College swept to

an easy title in this weekend'sNew England Collegiate Volley-ball Tournament at Wentworth,while MIT's squad, surprise semi-finalists last year, were elimi-nated after the qualifyinground-robin.

The Engineers, handicappedby a lack of practice time im-mediately before the tourna-ment, played inconsistently,losing five of six 1 1-point games.MIT's only win came againstWilliams College, 11-5, and theEngineers dropped one toWilliams, and two to both Har-vard and Springfield. The Crim-son and Indians made the semi-finals in the Engineers' division.

Against Harvard, MIT ralliedfrom a 10-5 deficit to tie theopening game, but finally lost,12-10, and were trounced in thesecond game, 11-6. The Engi-neers played well against Spring-field, but after the Indiansblitzed MIT, 1 1-3, in the opener,the club volleyballers managedonly a 6-6 tie before losing,11-8.

Although MIT fared poorly inthe tournament, the Engineersdid complete the regular seasonatop the Greater-Boston Leagueand enjoyed a generally suc-cessful season.

The second-place leaguefinisher, Northeastern, proved tobe the surprise of the tourney,topping favored Yale in itsdivision and pulling out an exci-ting 15-6, 18-16 win overHanrvard in the semifinals.

Springfield, after racking up a5-1 mark in its division, clob-

bered Yale 15-8, 15-6 in thesemis and went on to the show-down against NU.

Northeastern was game forthe challenge, but Springfieldput together its best games ofthe tournament and outdinked,outbumped, and outspiked theHuskies enroute to a 15-2, 15-9finals victory.

MIT's mammoth heavyweightwrestler, Erland van Lidth deJeude '76, went all the way tothe finals of the Division IIINCAA wrestling championshipsSaturday night at Coe College inIowa. The hulking 6'6" 370-pounder failed in his title quest,

though, dropping a 4-1 decisionto Earl Peregra of St. Lawrence.Erland registered two pins andtwo decisions in reaching thefinals and completing the seasonwith a record of 20-1.
