The Committee on EducationaE Policy (CEP) proposed to the faculty a two-stageqequirement for students entering the Institute beginning September 1983. The first stage is "concerned with basic expository writing com- petence" and the second stage is "designed to engage upperclass students in the more specialized forms of writing that are neces- sary within their professional dis- ciplines," according to the CEP report. "There have been valid expres- sions of concern that this require- ment is too weak ...

Student representatives fromInstitute committees discussedtopics ranging from the future offreshman pass/fail to women atMIT at -an Undergraduate As-sociation Nominations Commit-tee (NomCom) sponsored forumin 10-250 Monday night. Roughlytwenty students, mostly un-dergraduates, attended.

Lesley Saunders '83 and JamesTaylor '84, student members ofthe Commzittee on EducationalPolicy (CEP) expressed concernthat abuses of Freshman pass/-fail, such as overloading courses,provoke criticism and endangerthe system.

Rich Cowan '84, a studentmember of the Dining AdvisoryBoard, said 55 percent of the stu-dent charge for the MIT food ser-vice goes to fixed costs, and only45 percent for procurring food.

Dining Advisory Board fromcommons but told three monthslater by Associate Dean for Stu-dent Affairs Robert A. Sherwoodhe was not exempt. The incidenthas led the committee to believe ithas no real power other than tomake recommendations.

The planned East Campuskitchen renovations were brieflydescribed and considered as apossible example for other dor-mitories. Cowan mentioned theInstitute provides MIT food ser-vice with at least $500,000 in sub-sidies each year. Food Service wasgrossly overpaying for some of itsfood.

Andrew Washburn '82, studentmember of the Corporation JointAdvisory Committee (CJAC),discussed its history and possiblefuture. He said CJAC used to bean effective means for students tovoice their opinions to the MITCorporation Executive Commit-tee. Recently the corporation hasnot allowed CJAC to convene

and otherwise carry a heavy creditload." She told the assemblyfreshman need to take lighterloads while becoming "used tothe pressures of MIT" so they canjoin more student activities andcontribute to "the social life.Taylor concurred with Saunder'scomments and said the CEP soonplans to make a recommendationon pass/fail to faculty.

Sarah Tabler '84; a member ofthe Committee on UndergraduateAdmissions and Financial Aiddiscussed the possible end ofneed-blind admissions. TheUndergraduate middle class is thegroup most likely to be affected,said Tabler.

A member of the audienceasked why MIT seemed to haveso much money available for theconstruction of new buildings,and so little for student aid.Tabler replied MIT receivesdonations for specific purposes,and little is given to unrestrictedfunds.

Lori Lamel '79 discussed theAdvisory Committee for WornenStudents' Interests and said manywomen are unsatisfied with theirpresent housing and a number areinterested in a sorority. She notedthere should be a sorority at MIT

Jerri-L nn ScofieldReagan reduces the roleof government

When Ronald Reagan ran for President in 1980, he promised to getgovernment off the backs of the people and restore America to itsformer greatness. Reagan also promised to decentralize governmentand foist some of the national government's accrued responsibilitiesback to states and municipalities. Several recent news events, however,show that the Reagan controlled Federal government, and local centersof control, are not reducing government intervention in the lives of itscitizens, but are in fact imposing values upon constituents.

oReagan's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) hasannounced that after April 1, all parents of women under the age ofeighteen will be notified when their daughters try to obtain contracep-tives. A study the government has just conpleted shows that of theteenagers surveyed, 25 percent will stop purchasing contraceptives oncethe policy takes effect. Only two percent, however, said they will stophaving sex.

Most everyone would agree that ideally, sexual attitudes should bedeveloped within families. But most teenagers who visit family plann-ing clinics do so because they can not comfortably discuss sex with theirpar~ents. Ass the bird"h r atc among uni-narried teenagers soars, thneFederall government, especially one committed to non-intervention inthe lives of its citizens, should not scare responsible teenagers awaytrrom family planning clinics. It is foolish to dissuade frightened youngwomeat from using safe prescription contraceptives, thus forcing themto rely on less effective over-the-counter protections from pregnancy, ifthe Admi-nistration indeed wants to discourage abortion. Their policywill only exacerbate the current epidemic of mlenage pregnancies. EvenMarjory Mecklenburg, a prominent anti-abortionist who heads HHS'sDepartment of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs has confessed that an''upswing" in pregnancies will 'probably follow "ithe adjustment

period'' after the regulation takes effect. An Administration committedto reducing government intervention would not implement such apolicy. An Administration interested in imposing its values on itscitizens would.

oEvery President pays lip service to the Btill of Rights. Reagan's'ides, however, have prepared an executive order that would give theFederal government authority to reclassify information it has previous-ly dec~lassified and released. The action follows the Justice Depart-

mient's efforts to reclaim documents concerning the N~ational SecurityAgecncy that were made public during the Carter Administration. V.Jamles Ba'mford has used the papers as the basis of his book PuzzlePa~lace: A Report o~n Ant)ericas Mo~st Secret Agency.

Morton Halperin, director of the Center for National Security Ser-vi:es, contends that no legal basis exists for the Justice Department'srequest. He argues that the government's request is unconstitutionalbe~ause it conflicts with the First Amendment. The government,however, claims the docLIMenitS were mistakenly released and arethreatening to national security. What is probably true is Bamford'sbook is embarrassing and some Federal officials want it suppressed.U~nfortunately, this desire contradicts the First Amendment. No oneshould forget Richard Nixon's claim that national security considera-tions prevented the release of the Watergate tapes.

An Administration committed to reducing government interventionin citizens' lives should not waste its time trying to retract documents itlater finds troublesome. Not only Democratic Administrations shouldhave to adhere to the Constitution.

PA suburb of Atlanta, perhaps influenced by the Reagan Adminstra-tion's confusion about government intervention and the Constitution,hits aIdop4:d a new ordinance that would require every head ofhousehold to own a gun. The Kennesaw, Georgia, City Council un-alnimously approved the new4 statute, in order to reduce crime in the7000 member community. Mayor Darvin Purdy proudly noted, "Wefelt, lor the safety of our residents, that it was highly beneficial."

The statute, in language eerily evocative of the Constitution,declares, "'To provide for and protect the safety, security and generalwelfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residingin the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with am-m~unition.'' The Second Amendmnent of the Constitution states each

citizen has the right to keep and bear arms. This provision does not in-siist all citizens own guns. With a high nationwide rate of fatal handgunaccidents, national, state, or local government should not force itscitizens to own Firearms.

A citizen of Kennesaw claimed the City Council's decision was "thebiggest joke." But Mayor Purdy does not think so. The arguments ofH HS and Justice Department maay also seem ludicrous. But the peoplemaking such claims are not joking. The Reagan Administration andthe Keninesaw City Council claim to serve the interests of their con-stituents. Their ideological decisions, which they contend take govern-nient off the backs of people, in fact do just the opposite.

somewhat stifling atmosphere oncampus and a student lifecharacterized by apathy. MIT, instriving to educate "the totalstudent," must work diligentlywith its students to uphold thehighest standards of teaching -both in and out of the classroom.

Proponents of freshman pass/-failI grading contend that thepolicy provides for a smooth tran-sition into MIT life, allowsfreshmen freedom to pursue out-side interests, and encourages

ducive to learning, and, though itsrole as a research institution willcontinue to expand, M IT wouldfail in its purpose if the emphasison research detracted from thequality of it educators. MIlT mustcontinue to ensure that' out-standing faculty and teaching as-sistants are recognized, and-thatstudents maintain a broadly-based, humnanisti c perspective intheir technical endeavors.

U nfortunately, M IT tends toinsulate, students from therealities and priorities of the out-

"iIdeas, like art, must beparochial in the beginning inorder to be cosmopolitan in theend,'' wrote 20th-century Englishphilosopher George Moore. Inthis spirit, here are a fewparochial ideas . ..

A recent MIT alumnusremarked to me the-other day thattuition had more than doubledsince his freshman year five yearsago. While much of the increasecan be attributed to inflation, theincreasing financial burdenplaced on students and theirfamilies leaves one to wonder howthe Institute spends the additionalrevenue.

Admittedly, the task ofproviding the information is notan easy one, and administratorsmay claim that the necessary datais already available in reportspublished yearly. Nonetheless,perhaps a one page summary in-dicating how the final tuitionfigure is determined or how mucheducational costs have actuallyrisen, not merely a couple of sim-ple pie charts, would satisfy stu-dents that their money-is well in-vested. There is no doubt thatmany of the Institute's expenses.are justified - M IT's ad-ministrators remain obligated tooutline publically the use of tui-tion resources.

To the Editor:Tuesday's response by Susanne

von Rosenberg to the Malchmancolumn disturbed me greatly.

Let's face it, schools are notdemocracies, and MIT is no ex-ception. They are run by peoplewho are paid to do so, and whileone may question the qualifica-tions and motives of the ad-ministration, when it comes rightdown to it-, these people have thepower, and the students do not.Student government is limited inpower to -what the administrationchooses to allow. Consequently,many of us see the whole processof student government as little

not to play.Unfortunately, those in student

government seem to view us -asunpatriotic, or something equallyludicrous and subversive, andtraditionally have treated those ofus who aren't interested in"realistically feasible projects" asthough we were antisocialpathetic scum in need of help. Iam not attacking the projectsthemselves, but the fact that manyof us value other activities moreshould not per se earn us the con-tempt with which we are treated.In a glaring example, Malchmancheers the victory of new opinionsin government over the sacred

If there is an underlying threadthroughout these nights of fancy.it is that responsibility plays alarge part in determining ap-propriate action - the student'sresponsibility to himself torecognize the large world in whichhe finds himself, MIT's respon-

sibility to provide as much en-couragement in that direction aspossible, and The Tech'.s respon-sibility to MIT to present it ac-curately and honestly. Yetresponsibility remains the price ofgreatness.

que? No, not everyone in studentpolitics is obnoxious, self-centered, and domineering. Theletter of Lopez and Barber showsan honest concern for the studentbody, and a dignity even in defeatwhich has earned them my lastingrespect. However, many of ushave found von Rosenberg's at-titude representative of studentgovernment as a whole, and this isunfortunate, because both vonRosenberg and student govern-ment claim to represent the stu-

dent's point of view, not ignore it.The way Malchman's expresseddissatisfaction with a homecom-ing king and queen is written offto his failure "to take that issueseriously" is a classic example.It's dead wrong. Many of uscared; many of us took the issueseriously. We just happened tohave views on the subject dif-ferent from von Rosenberg's.

The generic response to this, ofcourse, is "If you're not happywith it, get involved and change

Off the Wcall cinema/caf& is serving adelicious I6-course meal, entitled Fi.sh11f9(l.e , I collection of demented short filmsintroduced by the best president since Jim-mny Carter. This hilarious, sardonic ban-quet seems made-to-order for MIT stu-dents depressed by the new depression.

The main ingredient of several of theIfilms is trick photography. In QuraiEtt ('Cal

Although the cook at the grill fries hisown hand, and some of the customers havean extra mouth or eye, the narrator re-mnains oblivious to the fAct that these peo-pile tre anything but plaing folk.

In Backkcabout by John Francis, an oh-noxious and destructive young man seemsto be helpings the customers of a roadsiderestaluralnt because the film is runbalckwalrd.

Susannah Rabb (who sings a mellifluous'lullabye) plays Eleanor of Aquitaine withthe clever acrimony of a suburbanhousewife concerned with adultery andwrinkles. When she complains of being

imprisoned, she is not a political rival heldby her husband and adversary, but awoman exasperated at being stuck in thehouse. Christopher Keyser also is as mucha household as a crowned head, ad-monishing his son the prince to "stand upstraight" and describing himself as he waswhen a loversick boy: "I had never seen

such beauty and I walked right up andtouched it. Where ever did I get thecourage to do that?" Together Rabb andKeyser enact arguments and abortivereconciliations that might be charged withpolitical rhetoric but are tendered with theacerbity of marital strife: in divying up therealm, Eleanor says, "No Aquitaine forJohn," and King Henry answers, "I've gotto give him something."

The royal sons keep up a most divertingspate of sibling rivalry; from their an-tagonism, their bickering for and recoilingfrom parental favor, stem the forces thatwill rend and shape England. MarkMorland, as Richard, projects the privilegeand vulnerability of the eldest son. Jeffrey.played by Joel Dando, is a practiced up-stager, ignored as a potential successor tothe throne and commenting on the actionwith raised eyebrows and poses of ennuiwhile awaiting an opportunity for action.

Many of the dishes were delightfullyfrivolous. In Public Service Announcemfientby Don Novello, Father Guido Sarducciadvises you to become an artist so that youcan wake up late. One of the best of thefrivolous bunch was Banana by NormanMagden, in which you are taught how andwhy to conjugate the verb "to banana."

Take it from an accreditedichthyocephalogist, though, that the bestdish was the dessert, Fish Heads, acinematic expression of the Barnes andBarnes recording of the same name, whosecast includes, among others, Dr. Demento,the disc jockey who made dementia andFish Heads household words ... well, dor-mitory words.

Interspersed among the films are clipsfrom Ronaid Reagan's earlier days whenhe had a relatively respectable job - in-troducing television shows. As the pressrelease says, "If the 'trickle down' ofReagonomics has yet to reach you, headfor the bread line & grab a bowl of thisbizarre chowder." The sixteen shortspresented in this original collection can, benibbled at individually or devoured whole.But no matter how its done, you will wantto eat them up, yum!

John, acted by Justin Rich-a~son , com-pletely undaunted by regal trappings, is isuperbly pouting, puerile kid. After plot-ting to overthrow his father, John hears theking approach and, like a kid looking for aplace to stash an illicit cigarette, bleats,"Father's coming."

Martha Bronaugh invests her PrincessAlais with a mix of adolescent infatuation,Filial love, childishly blunt viciousness, andstraightforward fright. William Mallard asPhilip King of France intimates thedebonair detachment of a young noble.

Meticulously selected props and well-engineered lighting suggest the harsh lux-uty of a vast medieval castle. The costumesare a pageant in themselves. An additionaltreat is provided by a troupe of recorderplayers rendering early music.

By Andrew RobbinsNeither John DeRubeis '83 nor

Ken Dumas '83, UndergraduateAssociation (UA) President(UA P) and Vice President(UAVP), thinks their administra-tio)n has had a major impact onthe life of the typical M IT un-dergraduate in the past year. "Ican't see how he was positively af-fected," noted Dumas, "unless hetook advantage of one of ourspecial programs, such as the bustrip to New York." DeRubeis ex-plained, "'We really didn't want tochange the students' lives."

As candidates, they voicedplans to expand existing UAprograms and establish new ones,.Suaranteed the administrationwould hear student opinions, andpromised "to greatly improve un-dergraduate life at MIT."

DeRubeis and Dumas havekept some of their campaignpledges and are still working tofulfill a few, but attempts to carryout other promises were eitherunsuccessful or never made.

Both officers identified theirmiajor accomplishments as gain-ing substantial funding for theUA Finance Board ( Fin Board),and getting student representa-tiofl at meetings of the AcademicCouncil. The UAP is now invitedto some Academic Councilmeetings to represent student opi-nion, but he cannot vote. "Nextscar, we hope that he has votingpokk, er, " commented Dumas.

While noting "nothing wasreally bad," DeRubeis said theproposed campus shuttle busprogram was his biggest failure.The shuttle bus was to trace afigure eight across the M ITcampus, serving every dormitoryand most fraternities, as well as

the main buildings of the In-sti-tute. DeRubeis is still pursuingthis project, which began with un-fruitful attempts to obtain MBTAbus passes and continues with ef-forts to gain access to the Har-vard Medical School Bus.DeRubeis hopes the shuttle buswill be running within three weeksof spring break.

DeRubeis credited "coopera-tion with the administration" formuch of his success, while Dumaspointed to a lack of manpower asthe main reason for failures.Dumas added, however, that"MIT students are not apathetic;they just put their time commit-ment into a lot of different ac-tivities."

The UA SAVES program wasone of the projects DeRubeis andDumas inherited from theprevious administration and plan-ned to expand. Student discountcoupon booklets were sold inSeptember at M IT and otherschools. According to Dumas, theproject is continuing, "though notas much has been done as Ihoped.'' The officers had alsoplanned to broaden the scope ofprevious UA pro-rams such asthe course evaluation guide, thebuyers' cooperative, and CASH, aproject to encourage students toseek outside scholarship help.Dumas blamed "a hesitatingamong MIT students to apply foroutside scholarships" for the poorresults of the project.

Their new goals included theshuttle bus, a student-run foodcooperative, and an on-campusbank. Dumas explained that thefood cooperative program suf-fered from a -lack of manpower,the absence of a suitable location,and MIT's uncertainty a-bout how

the co-op would affect its tax-exempt status. Dumas stillbelieves there is demand for afood co-op, and hopes "some stu-dent group can pick up the pro-ject." DeRubeis claimed he nowhas the MIT administration look-ing into the possibility of puttingan automated teller machine(ATM) in the Student Centerbasement.

Another goal of the UAleadership was to improve com-munication between MIT and itsstudents. DeRubeis had promisedto place a student not only on theAcademic Council, but on theMIT Corporation as well. Henow feels the student members ofthe Corporation Joint AdvisoryCommittee (CJAC) sufficientlypresent the students' views to theCorporation .

Dumas demonstrated the effectof student opinion on the MITstudent budget. By malking theMIT administration alware of thestudents' financial situation, heexplained, the UAP and UAVPhad an impact of financial aiddecisions such as the eq uity level .He did not think they had any ef-lect on the final tuition figure.

Dumas mentioned one ad-ditional challenge he aindD~eRubeis faced this past year:maintaining cooperation betweenstudent groups. "Some groupsonly look out for themselves," henoted. While the General As-sembly was involved in some pro-jects, he noted, it did not par-ticipalte as much as possible.

DeRubeis concluded by citingan increase in student participa-tion in student government overthe last year, and also expressedhis desire "to leave the office bet-ter than when I got there.''

To the Editor:While I did my best to restrain

myself, the letters in your March16 issue finally convinced me togo on record on a few points.

First, there was yet anotherreference to Hornecoming Queenas symbol of school spirit. It hasbeen my experience that one ofthe things that MIT students areproudest of is that this isn't Har-vatrd or Penn State or the Univer-sity of Halibut, and that thingslike I HTFP shirts (which friendsati other schools assure me wouldnever go over in those places) andhalving the UNIOC winner playHomecoming Queen are aspectsof' the Institute to be proud Of.Fear that meltter, so does theability to elect a ConservativeGuniby t-icket UAP and UAVP,which brings me to my next point

I find it difficult to believe thatzz front-palge picture of KenMeltsiner holding a Crisco canwasF enough to swing the election,if it was~, then the seriousness levelevinced would seem to indicatethat the Gumbys would halve hald110 problem winning. anyway. Ifind it even more difficult tobelieve that people Lire yellingabtout poor editorials judgementon the palrt of' The Tech, thisinjplies the existence of editorialiudgemienlt lit your palper, whichexperience leads me to believe is

an erroneous assumption.Finally, I take exception to Ms.

von Rosenberg's taking exceptionto the enjoyment of the defeat ofthe "serious candidates". After allthese years of watching the UAdo nothing but feel important, Iarm heartened to see people in of-

rice who recognize their positionsfor what they are.

(By the way, Ms. vonRosenberg, we will see you on theV.M.I. weekend bus trip, won'twe'? School spirit and all, youknow.)

Jerry Wolper '82

ued:irs flaws

large majority of MIT studentsnever question where engineeringFits -into society. Or even if itshould fit into society. Isengineering inherently a goodthing'? Should we blindly pushtechnology forward because it'schallenging and maybe even fun?I don't know but I think thatmore time should be spent inwondering. Perhaps it's too scaryto question your purpose. Ormaybe because you'll never comeup with a cold hard answer that isclearly right and complete itshouldn't be part of an MIETeducation. Again I disagree, soI'll suggest that we all step backfnd ask ourselves why. For thebetterment of mankind? Becauseit breaks up the boredom whilewaiting' Or maybe just becauseyou can.

G~effing 8evievw ha

To, the Editor:After reading the review of Get-

liiikq Sued by Richard Meehan inThe Tech I was struck by the ma-jor complaint against the book.There were sections that discussedthe ontology Of engineering andthe role of engineering in society.These sections were boring- theydragged. Do these questions notinterest the MIT student'? Cer-tainly they should. If we are aschool of engineers, an institutionthat expands the realm ofengineering daily, then we shouldbe very interested in what placeengineering has in society andhow it got there. It's possible thatthese questions are all covered aspart of the various engineeringcurriculums and I wasn't inengineering long enough to get tothem. but I doubt it. In fact Iwould go so far as to say that the

_e PAGE 12 THE TECH FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1982

M7

As stated in previous columns,sports at MIVT are not for"losers." Behind many teamsoverall records are individualswho stand out and make impor-tant contributions to their teams.Malny of these athletes have hadtheir performances documentedin the page of The Tech, butothers haven't. Here are a few"faces in the crowd" for thiswinter:

Basketball - In addition toMark Branch's fine year (by theway, Branch was featured inMonday's New York Time~s sportssection ), guard -M ike WeisssFinished his Tech career in out-standing fashion. Weiss, steppingin when Steve Williams was in-jured, averaged 8.3 points a game,aind provided-leadership on andoff the court.

Fencing - The class of '83gives Eric Sollee three reasons tosmile, in the 'form of Ya-Pei

Chang, Oscar Estell and EricDeBeus. Chang became the firstTech junior to qualify for theNational AIAW fencing cham-pionships, which will be heldApril 2-3. DeBaus and Estell wonsecond and third place honors infoil at the Intercollegiate FencingAssociation championships, help-ing M IT to win the Iron ManTrophy.

Gymnastics - Here, a story ofbrother-to-brother plus one.Mark and Barry McQuain alongwith Jiro Makauchi '83 led MITto an 8-2 mark in '81-82, its bestperformance in a decade.

Hockey - Tom Mickalek Gsets all kinds of MIIT scoringrecords, but he was not alone.Also contributing to the 12-4season, including eight wins in arow were Dale Malone, Paul(Damage) Dinnage, HarveyStenger, and a host of others.

Pistol and Rifle- Again, it's

the junior class showing its stuff.Cliff Eskey and Duncan Hugheshave been models of consistencythroughout the season, helpingthe Tech shooters to stay amongthe best in the nation.

Swimming - A case of therecord belying the true talent. Themen feature Andy Renshaw, whotwice set records in the butterfly,Bob Schoenlein, a national-classperformer in the breaststroke,and John Schmitz, tough in theindividual medley. On thewomen's side, "Double K" is theword. Karen Klincewicz endedher four years at MIT be earningAll-American honors in fiveevents at last weekend's AIAWchampionships. Klincewicz leavesas one of the top female athletesin MIT history.

Track - Would take a week tolist all those responsible for givingthe Engineers a 10-0 week andtheir second straight NewEngland Division III cham-pionship. Another junior (what aclass!!), Martin Taylor, is oneathlete who deserves notice.Taylor set Tech records in thelong jump and triple jump, andtook first, second and third in thetriple, high, and long jumpsrespectively in the New EnglandDivision III meet. He was alsonamed the team's Most ValuablePerformer.

Wrestling - Ken Shull againled a resurgent MIT team to a fineyear. Shull, a sophomore, lostonly one match this year, andwon the New England CollegiateConference title at 134 pounds.Shull has lost just three times intwo years at MIT.

There are many others whocould be mentioned here, not foroutstanding numbers, but forspirit, loyalty, and dedication totheir sports. Those individuals, as

* well as the "stars," make M ITatletics something special.
