The Faculty Committee on Stu-dent Environment thought in 193that it was necessay to furnishliving conditions of a high qualityfor all students who wish to liveon campus, but this year 40 fresh-men must double up in East Cam-pus and 20 doubles have beenmade into triples at McCormick

Houseroaser programAgain the Committee on Student

Environment thought it impera-tive (and fitting with the philoso-phy that livng conditions are avery important part of a student's

i total education) that a Housemas-ter program be set up. It wouldcall for a Housemaster, two sen-ior tutors and one graduate stu-dent tutor for every 30 students.At present East Campus has oneHousemaster and only six gradu-

usual. Since the wing is not yetcomplete, some women are nowliving in graduate apartments atWestgate on a temporary basis.

, Need - 609 bedsIn addition to working without

any marginal bed space, the In-stitute must consider a long-termneed. Approximately 90 beds willbe lost due to necessary renova-tions in Burton House alone; TheInstitute will probably increaseits freshman class at a slow rate.These and other factors add to along-range reed of 600 new beds.About half of these are to be sup-plied by the new MacGregor dormwhich is to be started by thefirst of the year.

Philosophy of housingThus, most of the weaknesses of

Institute housing can be attribu-ted to the fact that it has beenonly an unguided response to the

ate student tutors. Baker Houseaverages one graduate tutor foreach 90 students.

System in transitionBurton and Baker houses were

not in use until 1951 and 1949 re-spectivley. They house approxi-mately 910 of 1,693 undergraduateswho live in Institute houses. Therapid post-war transition fromcommuter to resident university isthus illustrated.

This transition is still going on.ThW population of students desir-ing to live on campus has yet tostabilize. Each year a combina-tion of several small factors maylead to an under- estimate on theorder of 40 students. The smallfactors may include a fluctuationin freshmen pledged in fraterni-ties, a smaller number than ex-pected of upper classmen decid-ing to move to apartments, and asmall number of upper classmendeciding to move back into thedormitory system.

Stop-gap helpIn an effort to meet this im-

mediate nieed, an apartment isbeing renovated at 282-290 Massa-chusetts Avenue. It is expected tohouse about 100 students who arenow living in auxiliary apartmentsat Eastgate and 27 West Street.

In anticipation of the new Mc-Cormick wing, more female stu-dents were admitted in 1967 than

demand for beds. The Institute iieffect was accepting the physicalimplicatibns of its becoming aresident university, but it was ig-noring the abstract emotional im-plications that were also created.

It was not until 1963 that theFaculty developed a guiding phil-osophy for the creation of a resi-dent campus. The philosophy andproposals came from a study con-ducted by the committee on Stu-dlent Eivironment.

Dynamic educational aidIn general, the philosophy pre-

scribed by the committee is con-tained in a quote by Dr. JamesP. Killian, chairman of the Corpo-ration, that is cited in the report."We want to develop an environ-ment at MIT which performs inthe broadest sense. an education-al function itself not in a passiveway but in a dynamic way. Thewhole complex of living condi-tions, activities and atmospheremust be skillfully arranged toprovide the kind of environmentthat contributes to the develop-ment of leadership, breadth, andstandards of taste and judgmentamong our students."

After a study of several otheruniversities, the committee des-cribed in elaborate detail physicalrequirements which it believed ne-cessary to accomplish the psycho-logical goals of a student's resi-

dence. 'Privacy and communitywere both seen to be necessaryso they advocated a suite systemwith single roms. Informal guid-ance by faculty was thought to bean important part of a studeit'seducation, so plans for a housetutoring system were drawn up.

Individual suite descriptionSuites should be constructed in

a variety of different ways. Theyare to house 4 to 10 men. Echsuite is to have galley facilitiesexclusive to itself. A loungeshould be close by the galley sothat students may engage in in-formal discussions. There shouldbe a lavatory a shower foreach suite, and each room shouldhave a wash basin. Larger loun-ges would be built for everythree or four suites.

To illustrate the importance offaculty .associations, the reportquotes. former President, Dr. Jul-ius A. Stratton; "There is nosingle, simple way by which suchideas can be 'imparted to the stu-dent. Certainly it isn't done aloneby lectures upon ethics, or charac-ter, or the duties- of citizenship.But it is acoomplished in thesubtle way of example of assaoci-ation with a faculty that the stu-dent respects, of an underg-aduateexperience of several years in anenvironment that is in every wayconducive to the highest valuesthat shape the lives of cultivatedmen and women."

Housemaster - Tutor planUnder the Housemaster - Tutor

plan, the senior faculty member-the Housemasters - is supportedby one or more junior facultymembers who are presently called"senior tutors." The-master andsenior tutors are in turn support-ed by a number of graduate stu-dents. The master is generally amarried man who, with his fam-ily, makes his home in an under-graduate house. The senior tu-tors are presently unmarried andreside in small suites with privatebath and kitchenette facilities.The tutors are unmarried, residein single student rooms, and shareother facilities with the under-graduates.

Roles of HousemasterThe master acts as head of the

house and carries the major shareof non-directive, cooperative effortin working with student govern-ment, the house superintendent,and the dining service staff withinthe- house.. Neither the masternor his supporting staff are giv-en specific academic functions.This is so the relation developed

His residence should include a

large living room, a dining room,

a kitchen with equipment flexible ti

enough to prepare food for large

or small groups, ad about four a aibedrooms, one of which should be i,

convertible into a guest room. e

Renovation requests

Very detailed plans for renova-tion of those student residences

Iwhich fell far below the quality fstandard were submitted. a

The committee came to the con- clusion that the Institute should Irun its housing on a non-profit, tinon-loss basis. It was also de-cided that free grants and do-nations would have to be the mainsource of income. Behind these °decisions was the consideration lithat the Institute must remain bcompetitive with off-campus apart- v

ments. P.~ ~~ S

Major fund drive d

Little seems to have been doneto implement many of the im- cportant 1963 proposals. The fate cof East Campus is still undecided. iThe renovation of Burton Hoeuse dwill not be undertaken until Mac- aGregor is built to take the over- Sflow resulting from the loss of fbeds. t

The greatest inhibitor to fast raction in the' Institute's housing cneeds is the lack of funds.. To tmeet this need there is a major cfund drive this year for housing. P

- Aid of Alumni FmdThe Alumni Fund, which is one.

.o.f the largest in the country, has,since 1941, stressed the need for environmental improvement. It is t

only this year that the drive pro- a- motes specifically the need ofdormitory improvements. In ad- dition, the Alumni Fund will do- tnate all undesignated funds to adormitories.

As with the housing situationitself, the problem with the Alum-ni Fund is that MIT does not havea housing tradition. An establishedalumnus who graduated in 1939 does not see the need for such c

emphasis on dormitories.

It has been the goal of the IAlumni-Fund Committee to make 1known the vital need of a good thousing system. Parallel efforts t

in the MIT Corporation have re-

ulted in dormitory priority for all'ndesignated endowments.

IRDF assists fraternitiesRecently established to aid fra-ernities in renovations was the[ndependent Residence Develop-nent Fund. it has in a short timeccumulated around $450,000. Itis growing quite rapidly and isExpected to reach a total of 3%nillion dollars.

A major renovation has alreadyaken place in Pi Lambda Phi.rImprovements are also planned[or Phi Beta Epsilon. The greatadvantage of the IRDF is that do-riations to it are tax deductible.)onations to individual fraterni-ies are not.

Short term needs

Aside from the long term goalsIf fulfilling the philosophy thatife outside the classroom shouldbe as rich and rewarding as thatwithin, there are many short termprojects which are almost neces-sary for the comfort of many stu-lents.

One big complaint on the partif the students is the "28 shadesof Institute gray." Some studentsn Runkle within East Campuslecided to paint their dull haltlsa flashy red and gold. As a con-

sequence of their dramatic effortfor self-improvement, the Insfi-tute saw the need for improve-nent.' Workers were contracted toclean the halls 'and students wereto be given an opportunity tochoose more lively colors to bepurchased by the Institute and torepaint their own halls.

Repainting in Burton

A similar arrarngement seemsnecessary to make bearable thehalls in Burton House, while itawaits renovation.

Other short term needs are such

hings as improved porter service

and motorcycle storage space.

Evolutionary stage

The housing situation can be

viewed in the evolutionary stage.

The Institute does not .have hun-

dreds of years of a tradition of

campus housing. It has gone into

the housing business only recent-

ly. Worthy objectives guide thelong-range policy. However, ittakes time to fulfill objectivesthat require such an irnmeiseamount of capital.

Though most MrT males are hopefulthat certain fields of graduate education- namely engineering and science - willbe draft exempt next year, as yet the onlyexceptions are medicine, dentistry, vetC-

h, inary medicine, osteopathy, and optome-LUm try. John F. Morse, director of federal re-I, lations for the American Council of Edu-o cation, warned the council recently thatz at the end of this academic year all stu->: dent deferments for those receiving bac-c calaureate degrees, those completingU, their first year of graduate study, andi- those receiving their advanced degrees

will be terminated.He noted that draft calls would re-

: main roughly the same, and that present2 procedura calls for the oldest eligible to

- be inducted first. He concluded, "Thus it- must be assumed that virtually all gradu-

ating seniors as well as graduate studentscompleting their first year, or receivingtheir degree, will be inducted unless theyare over-age or physically disqualified, orhave previously served in the armedforces."

Morse's report said that, unless the lawor present regulations are changed, en-rollment in the first two years of gradu-ate and professional schools next yearwill be limited to women, veterans, menphysically disqualified, and those over age25.

The council estimates suggest that inthe year beginning next July, one-half totwo-thirds of all draftees will be collegegraduates or graduate-school students.First year students at Harvard BusinessSchool were told recently that probably60,% of them would be drafted beforenext academic year.

Of course, under the new law thereare "certain other, not yet desigrmnatdis-ciplines" which will be made exempt;these are the cherished occupations andmajors that will probably include mostbranches of engineering and science. Thisis the all important list which will bemade public very early next year.

For those fields which most likely willnot be deferred, such as the arts, busidness, law, and most jobs, present policypractically guarantees induction, becauseit calls on the oldest eligible first. Mrs.

Such a proposal has two distinct ad-vantages. First, it would yield a better agemix for the armed forces, instead of adisproportionate number of men over theage of 22. Secondly, as a matter of fair-ness, it would give the non-deferred gra-duate students at least some probabilisticchance of remaining a civilian.

That some graduate deferments begranted is preferable to the single-mindedarbitrariness of a strict lottery system.However, a policy which takes the oidesteligible male places undeferred graduatestudents in an unfair and precarious posi-tion. The only way to ameliorate such asituation is to consider them 19 years oldwhen their deferments end and treatthem as such for a year.

The Ivory Tower

Romrneyr lackas Vet polcyrBy Steve Carhart '

Although the announcement by

Michigan's Governor GeorgeRonmey that he will be a candi-date for ,the Presidency hardlycame as a surprise, it confirmsthe need for a thoughtful evalua-tion by the nation of this man whomight be our next Pesident.President Johnson's popularity isnow as low as it has been sincehe took office, and if the warcontinues it could fall evenfurther. Whichever Republicanhopeful gains his party's Presi-dential nomination has a goodchance of defeating the in-cumbent.

The .President's problems

Most of the President's currentdifficulties can be traced to a na-tional .uneasiness about the war.Linked with this is a suspicionthat the - President is being lessthan homest with the people ininforming then about the war. TheRepublican, candidate can win ifhe can 'present an image of in-tegrity and convince, the. peoplethat he can lead the country outof the mess in.Vietnam. -On the,first count, Romney does indeedpresent a "stronger than dirt"personal image, but an examina-tion of'his ideas on the war showsthem to be constantly changing in

detail -but essentially the same

as those oiiered by the adnin-istration.

When he returned from hisvisit to Vietnam in 125, Romneyfelt that, our presence there was"the morally right thing." InApril of this year, in a majorpolicy speech, he .stated that "itis unthinkable that the UnitedStates withdraw fronm Vietnam."He characterized his plan for Viet-nam after the war as "peace withamnesty" in which members ofthe NLF would receive fullcitizenship provide that the NLFwere disbanded.

New feelings

By September, however, Rom-

ney's tune had changed. Announc-ing his new opinion at a press

conference, he toid reporters "Ino longer belive that it was neces-sary for us to get involved inSouth Vietnam to stop communistaggression in Southeast Asia."In addition, Romney said -thatwhat he was told and shown byUS officials in Vietnam during his1965 visit resulted in his receiving"the greatest brainwashing thatanybody can get." Is thie publicto infer from these statementsthat he is advocating withdrawalfrom Vietnam? Probably not; hehas not said so and it is more

likely that he feels that while we

were wrong to enter the war in

the fwrst' place, we cannot afford

to leave.A "Just peace"

In -his speech amoncing hiscandidacy, Romney promised towork for a "just peace in Viet-nam, unshackled by the mistakesof the past." This is a noble goalto be sure, but this sentimentsounds very much like the admin-istration's anmunced policies. Itis signicant also that the gover-nor did not offer any hints onjust how he plans to attain this"just peace."

Governor Romney's problem,apart from his own vacillations,is that while it is very easy tocriticize specific aspects of theconduft of the war, such 'as publicinformation policies it is diffi-cult to offer a policy very dif-ferent from the administration's.One must advocate total with-drawal, an enclave strategy, ormajor escalation, none of whichappear to have as much popularsupport as current policy. Yet towin the nomination and thePresidency, Romney will have toconvince the electorate that heoffers a real alternative to cur-rent Vietnam policy, a difficulttask indeed.-

lain's performances were 'usuallynon-verbal too, remember?) As to"The Mime Troupe doesn't mime!It -talks!" etc., one of my many"proofs" of illiteracy, I'm sorry,but it was my intention to behumorous. (but of course, not tobe dirty; perhaps this could havebeenm, detected by my critics.)

Finally, as to my basis fOrjudging' the play. Contrary to pop-ular belief, i am not a refugeefrom Qteen Victoria's court. Mycomplaint was not that "the play

wvas too dirty for me." (Gee, Ieven write for VooDoo). Rather,it was that the Mime Troupe lettheir message be overshadowed bythe desire for an easy laugh. Ifthe play was intended only ascomedy, then the number of "fun-

ny moments" is indeed a validcriterion. ("Blundering incogni-zance?" Now really, Mr. CoVitt!)However, the Mime Troup hadpretentions to being more thanmere comedians. The MimeTroupe's stated goal was to dis-turb their audience about society.They presented anti-war argu-ments with a twist, in a mannerthat could have been convincing,in a manner that occasionally ap-proached their avowed target, butnever quite hit. That is What I la-ment, Mr. Covitt. Your "accurateview" only notes as did many oncampus, that it was a "good dirtyplay." As I've said,- it had pre-tentions to being more. It was onthese pretensions that I evaluatedit, not on a wounded sense of vul-garity.

Incidentally, I had been un-aware that a critic had a moralobligation to concur with majorityopinion. In that case, may I nowrecommend to you all, most high-ly, "The Beverly Hillbillies" and"Batnan," both of which havegained inmmense popularity, andare therefore of undoubted merit.

It is indeed a sad story if Mr.Covitt, as a self-professed repre-sentative of the student body, de-fines a "poor review" as one thatdisagrees with his notions, (albeitthat his ideas are shared) andhas to descend to personal attacksof the reviewer's competence tomake his point. (Now really,,weren't you just a bit unfair?)

Oh, and welcome to the staff,

Mr. Covitt. I eagerly await your

first review.

Truce? O.K.?

Library fe(Ed. note: The following is thelast in a series of articles on theMIT library system, its prob-lems and its projects, both pres-ent and future.)

By Robert Dennis

Having discussed the objectives

of the major research programs

currently underway, let us now

take a projected view of a fewaspects of the MIT library sys-tem which could become realityas early as 1975. At that time,approximately half of the scienti-fic information actually trans-mitted to the user will be storedin books or on microfilm and theother half will be in some com-puter-accessible form.

It is probable that all lectureswill be stored, at least temporar-ily, and that a student who hasmissed a lecture in person canhave it repeated to him over thetelephomn from his lvir o group.

With the use of new report-editingfacilities, many of the MIT staffwill undoubtedly use the computernetwork as a means of first re-cording their potentially publish-able material.

One of the most significant fea-tures is that a new breed of pro-

fessional librarian will be neededat all levels to co-ordinate the useof the advanced machinery neededto control the vast increase inavailable information, and to max-imize both the quality and quan-tity of services provided to theusers.

Five means of aemssIf the goals of Project Intrex

are realized, the infrmatiotransfer system of the late 1970'swill provide at least five meansby which the user can obtain ac-cess to the information stored inthe system. It is highly urnikelythat the user will borrow booksfrom the library in the presentmanner.

If he needs the actual documentitself, he will obtain a copy of it,either in the ordinary publishedform or a duplicate from one ofthe library's many duplicating fa-cilities. It is possible that booksfor storage could be made ofhigh-quality material to preventthe deterioration which affects ourpresent materials.

A second service will employ avariety of consoles using suchtechniques as cathode-ray tubesto present specific pages of a doc-

II

ument to the user who does notrequire the actual document in itsentirety. Fifty to two hundredsuch terminals could be locatedaround the campus.

Long-distance serviceThe third class of service to be

provided will be that of producinghard copy by typewriters or print-ers at remote locations, quite an-alagous to the typewriter outputnow obtainable through the MACcomputer, but at a higher outputspeed.

Related to this program will bethe design of up to one thousandterminals for the purpose of Com-puter-Aided Instruction. The term-inals for this service will resem-ble those of the third class exceptfor restrictions on the speed of theprinter.

A final form of output will havea touch-tone pushbutton input andvoice-answer-back system inwhichl each studemt, will be abletc communicate with the librariesby mean of a telephone either onhis own study desk or shared withanother student in his dormitoryroom.

The ultimate goalThe transformation of the libra-

ry system from a storehouse ofbooks to the center of a computer-network intellectual communitywill oLviously not be ac-omplishedwithout great expense. It has beenestimated that the informationtransfer budget for L975 will bearound $15 million. The projectedresults should certainly be worththe cost; however, since the ulti-mate aim of the revolutionaryprograms now underway at MITis to combine the five output tech-niques mentioned above into oneelaborate terminal.

This all-purpose terminal willprovide the user with not onlythe display of catalog information,extract information, or completeportions of complete documentsbut also access to the computa-tional facilities of the central cornm-puter system.

2. "less time was spent this year (kite and> biplane) than in years previous." Finger

f further claimed that, through the use- erector-set-like steel, this year's equip-

>- ment was "safer." In an attempt to in-r troduce some facts to guide the discus-

sion, Freshman Council President Bill= Rastetter presented the results of a

questionnaire conducted among mem-bers of the Council.

59% attendallceO His feedback indicated that 50% tou 60% of the freshmen attended Field Day

·and that those who didn't attend kept_ away primarily because of either JP or

apathy, while a small minority was "outof town, scared, or kidnapped." Whenasked to rate the purpose of Field Daythey felt most important, 57% of theCouncil members named class unity orspirit, 25% indicated fun, and the re-maining 18% chose tradition. They feltthat the Glove Fight and the Tug-of-Warbest achieved these goals, presumablysince no other event involved so manyparticipants. Four-fifths of the respon-dents who chose spirit as the most im-ortant purpose of Field Day also felt

that Field Day was necessary for thatspirit. Thirty-eight per cent favored -somesubstitution for Field' Day, while 43% ofthe CouniL dhose to retain -ield Day inits present form, rather tiam junk it.

In interpreting this questiormaire, Ras-tetter echoed the feeling that contests re-quiring expensive constructon projectsshould be eliminated from the Field Dayprogram. In addition to placing an earlyfinancial burden on the Freshman Class,the security necessitated by such projectsmeant that only a small numiber of peo-ple could work on them (contrary to thegoal of spirit and unity). Alm criticizedwere "destructive rivalry" between class:es and the pressure exerted upon bothfreshmen and sophomores to take part inField Day.

Dispute over attendancThe discussion quiely centered

around the question of enthusiasm forField Day. BisaQcio noted that only 44of 70 Freshmen Counci members (whomight be considered the freshmen mostenthusiastic about Field Day) returnedthe poll. He challenged Rastetter's claimthat 50% of the freshmen took part inField Day (based on the ,nmnber ofgloves passed out) and expressed dis-belief that "less -than 200 solmnes"could defeat nearly 500 freshmen in theGlOve Fight. Furthbr, since "most s~pho-mores had. more than-one gloVe" at thebeginning of the Glove.-Fight, he imag-ined that. "most frosh did -the same."The dispute oeer numbers, at least, wassettled -with '-the acceptance of a headcount conducted by George Xatsiaficas'70 which listed 450 freshmen and; 250sophomores.

The special events of Field Day wereattacked by the claim that comstructionof special vehicles took so much timethat it was not unusual for the buildersto miss an entire week of classes. Otheropposition to Field Day was based onthe misdirection it gives to FreshnmanCouncl. As an alternative to Field Daywhich might better guide the FreshmanCouncil, Al Singer '68 suggested that theCouncil adopt a special project, such asconducting a carnival as a part of JuniorProm weekend. Bisaccio repeated thatthere cannot be much enthusiasm, for anevent that only attracts 250 of 950 sopho-mores; nevertheless, a combined atten-dance of 700 gives Field Day a betterpercentage turnout than any other eventduring .JP weekend.

'Good state school fun'In reply to the many condemnations

of Field Day due its supposed lack of pur-pose (or fulfillment of whatever purposeexists) former Freshman Council Presi-dent Ken Morse- '68 recalled a post-FieldDay dscussion of three years ago withDean Kenneth R. Wadleigh '43. DeanWadleigh issued the advice that no con-cern should be given to Field Day's lackof concrete motivation; Field Day allowssome "good state school fun."

The selection by UAP Bob Horvitz ofan ad hoe committee to study Field Daysilenced discussion despite muffled pro-tests that the report of a previous ad hoc

government and came out of it with theidea that TSE should not be another ac-tivity under Activities Council" Instead,Singer suggested a proposal which wasoriginated by TSE, namely that TSE begiven a non-voting seat on Inscomm. Un-der this proposal TSE could obtain feed-back on the reports it presents to Ins-comm., as the subcommittees of Inscommdo now.

UAP-TSE stockholderThere was considerable objection to

this idea from the members of Inscomm;they considered it contrary to their be-lief that TSE is something apart fromstudent government. Horvitz -counteredthis opposition by citing the right of theUAP, as a stockholder of TSE, to "ex-amine the actions of TMS. .. which Ishall be doing." Singer added that whenTSE was established to provide.an "um-brella for -the many eftrepreneurial activ-ities then existing, its estab:hshment wassupported by efforts of Imtitute Commit-tee¢

When questioned whether TSE had amonopoly on entrepreneurial activities asa result of its establishment to coordin-ate such activities, Singer noted there isno legal requirement for anM on-campusbusiness to ally itself with TSrE. TSE does,in effect, monopolize some services; how-'ever, in these it acts as a "utility" forthe MIT Comnrmity.

No decision was reached. Any Ins-

cmmittee on Field Day -had not been comm activity will await the outcome ofheeded. upcoming TSE board meetings.

Discussion turned to -the relationshipof Inscomm and Technology Student En-terprises. Activities Council ChairmanSinger explained that many questions hadarisen in the past concerning TSE's re-lation to student activities and studentgovernmemk.

In looking into the matter of whythere seemed to be no relation betweenInsconem and TSE, into apparent "con-tradiclions in the stated goals and pur-poses" of TSE, and into "implications"that there were facets of TSE whichmerited questioning, Singer found that theprimary -problem was a total lack ofcommunication between student'govern-ment and TSE.*

Fedbc 'r v-rgeaW neededThe fact that TSE receives limited

student feedback necessitates wasted ef-fort 'by TSE on unwanted enterprises.Consequently, they are not always ableto present their goods and services atthe lowest cost. When asked about cer-tain accusations of TSE, Singer replied

Ahat he had "investigated these and dis-covered that most of these accusationsare based on a total lack of information."

He continued, "I went into this won-dering why TSE was not part of Student

flike Krashinsky '65, Senior House-PBeside-t, distributed copies .of a poll' which he had drawn up "after consulta-tion with a number of experts on Viet-nam." The poll consisted of eight quest-ions on the Vietnam War and three onthe roll of student goverment involve-ment with "non-MiT afrairs."%

Paret supports pollSupport for the pol came quickly and

most - strongly from Ray Paret '68. He·moved that Inscormm conduct this poll,but withdrew his motion foWlowing protestsfrom Insconm members -that they hadno intention of approving any poll onVietnam without sufficent tame to study-it.

'Foa' yeses...:ome nod'Horvit- expl!ned that -When Ahe idea-

of a poll on Vietnam 'was firstto Infms r 'by JimLeaSs '68, .rep'esent-:ing the Committee to.Erd, the War inVietnam, the Executive Committee dis-missed the motion. On the other hian,a- poll drawn up and conducted entirelyby an impartial group was much moreappealing. Dave peterson;'68, ExecutiveCommittee member, disclosed that -theExecutve Comnndttee approved theidea-"four yesses and one nod."

Inscomm seemed to rnrr this opin-ion, but there were objections. The olb.jections emphasized that the proponentsof the poll had yet to explain why themight 'discover, or how the results of thepoll should be conducted, what the pollpoU1 would be interpreted.

Goals of a pollParet replied that hopefully the poll

would determine whether people at MITactually know anything about Vietnam orwhether they blindly support an opinion,what they think about Vietnam, and why.'He added that the existence of MIT po-litical groups which devote large amountsof time and energy to propagandizingabout the war implies that there are MITstudents who have a great interest inopinion about the war. Finally, thecrowd of 2500 which packed Kresge Audi-torium to hear a colloquium on napalmindicates that there is broad interest inthe war and in learning about-the activ-iy in Vietnam.

Krashinsky proposed that copies ofthe poll be distributed in advance of theactual conduct of the poll. As a result,teach-ins could be held for those wishingto learn more about Vietnam.

Another committeeIn lieu of a conmensus 'by Insoonun,

Horvitr appointed an ad hoc committee,headed by Krashinsky, to prepare an-other poll for presentation at the nextInscomm meeting Thursday, Dec. 7.

Horvitz then yielded the floor to Peter-son, who reminded the Inscorum membersthat Inscomm spends too much timeelecting its non-voting members. The-blame for this, he explained, lies onlypartly in the fact that Inscomm is toolarge to reach a consensus without seem-ingly endless discussion. He also faultedthe fact that Executive Committee recon-mendations are incomplete, due to Ex-Ommn's laick of time.

Peterson dismissed the possibility ofreducirg the number of elected-membersof Inscorem until later discussion.

Rrotating committeeInstead, he proposed the establishment

of a five-man commmittee, whose membe'-ship would rotate among the Institute'Committee members. In addition to as-suning the normal Executive Committeerole of anmouncing upcoming electiom,Conducig interviews, and presentingrecmnmendatioms, this comiittee woaldprepare a more thorough recommenda:tion. It would list the reasons for supporting or not supporting each candidateand would seek the opinions of all Ins-comm :members familiar with any camdidate.

cap. ires UMOC"Kiondike" Ed Krugman has been chosen

"Ugliest Man on Campus" by the popular acclaimof the MIT community. Krugman scored a smash-ing victory, polling $369.61 worth of votes. He out-scored his nearest opponent, Peter Wulkan, by$137.19. Krugman's victory has earned him a tro-phy, a UMOC Key, and a dinner and movie for two.

Voting was heavy in the contest, with a total of$927.66 worth cast. Last year's drive netted $558.28.Alpha Phi Omega will donate the proceeds to theAmerican Cancer Society.

Not so many people outside ofthe field -of management haveheard of the American Manage.ment Association. The AMAL, how-ever, is a nation wide associationcomposed of over twenty-one mil-lion business managers. The mem-bership is limited to professionalmanagers, but last year, MIT be-came part of a major experimentby founding a campus AMA.

This "campus form" attemptsto bring the advantages of theAMA to the MIT students. TheAMA itself is similar in structureto the American Medical Assn. inthe respect that both aim tofurther education among theirmembers.

Problems & programsMIT's "campus form" consists

of forty-two members of whichonly about one-third are manage-ment majors. The faculty advisorto the club is Professor Valley ofthe Physics department. Thebranch is for students who havegiven -thought to problems andprograms in management. Menm-

Sanders' sales jumped last year from 66 to over 139 million dollars.The growth came from within, from sales of new systems, programs, and.equipment we designed and developed.

Behind this success story are 150 interdisciplinary teams, workingon electronic, space, oceanographic, and basic research problems. Younever stop learning, at work with men from other fields, at in- plantseminars and courses, at nearby universities. No technologicalobsolescence.

bership is limited to juniors andseniors.

The AMA's main- function is toengage different speakers fromthe business world to talk about

I matters of interest in manage-ment. There are approximatelyten meetings over the course ofthe year, four of which are organ-ized by the regular AMA, withthe remainder planned by theclub members. Meetings arenormally held on Wednesdaynights, with the juniors and seniors

t sometimes splitting into separateconferences.

Last year's meetings were heldin the conference room of ArthurD. Little Co.; this year they havemoved to the Student Center. Theformat of the meetings is basical-ly as informal as possible. Thespeakers are not straight lecturers,and they answer questions when-ever they arise.

Past speakersSome of last year's speakers in-

cluded John Fox, past president ofthe United Fruit Co., and nowchairman of the board; RichardMorse of the Sloan school, pastpresident of National Research; J.P. Barger, president of Dynatech;and Prof. Schein of the Sloanschool.

The most recent meeting fea-ured Waldo Newcoaer, Head of

the Research and DevelopmentDivision of A. D. Little Co. Hediscussed research and develop-ment to a joint meeting of juniorsand seniors. Other meetings this-semester will be held on Noveem-ber 29th and December 13th.

Officers and duesThe club's hierarchy consists of

a president, two vice-presidentsand a Secretary-treasurer. If astudent wishes to join MIT's"c.ampus form" of the AMA, hemust fill out an application andsubmit it to the club. Member-ship is limited to about, sixtystudents.

The annual dues of $15 covercosts to the parent AMA and re-freshments and transportation tothe meetings. This experimental"campus form" might very wellset a trend towards a national col-legiate branch of the AMA.

The College Concert of Pee Wee Russell and Henry Red Allen'by Pee Wee hRussell and Red Allen, Impulse A9137

$ . . - > BY By NGwom

Do you renember- the concert a year ago, the one with HenryRedi Allen and Pee Wee Russell? It was just a little over a year agoat Kresge Auditoariun. Quite a change fromi the usual 'ae of avanmt-garde saxophone players. Both men date frbm the early days of jaz-before the Swing Era. The performance was taped, live, and re-leased recently on Impulse'Recrds.

This concert and record release arenmilestones in jazz history,the history of an era which will be soon gone. This was the first andonly joint perorrmance by Allen and Russell. Now important,' fiiswas the last recored cocert by Hen.y Red Allen whose death earlythis yer closei one of the great careers in jazz.

Certainly, this album is not "'with it'! as such. Nonetheless, it isan interesting artistic effort as worthy as the, present state of theart. Henry Red puts on a great performance, encapsulating his ca-reer. Ms renditions reflect the strongest irnflence on his career-thestylistic impact of Dixieland and Louis Armstrong in particular.

One of the features of the album is a vocal by Allen, "Body andSou",-strongl reminiscent of Louis Armstrong. Pee Wee Russell alsocomes through like the Old Pro tht he is, particularly on his theme"Pee Wee's Blues.' These are two of the men who made jazz.

"ScotchI and ~Soul' by Rufus Harley Atlant~ic 3006

3Rufus Harlesr bills himself as"'Mhe World's First Jaz BagpipePlayer." I think no one will contend this. Rid-us Harley is also asaxophone player, ard a good one. His latest album, '"Sntch andSoid,' shows both of these talens. He uses conventional scales aniaccompaniment: with his new instrument. We admire Mis originality,but fliih his bagpipe is more of a gimmick than a serious attemptto. explore a new rnedixi.

Q;a

By Jack Bernseina

Night people of the world umit!

We have noting to lose but oursleep.

This past Frday in the colddrizzly rain the' Cnerna-KenmoreSquare inaugurated a midnliglltfilm festival to run over the nextfour weeks. It seems very strangethat Boston, with such a largecollege population and other po-tential night people has so littlegoing on at night. Just a yearago even this festival would havebeen impssible, but with the new-,2 am closing tiie, entertainmentcan lnntinue, at least on Fridaynights (we won't bother to dis-cuss tei archaic midnfight closinxgritulal for Saturday).

Crowd Pll spite of rai

-Betweenl 50 anld 1 peolewaited in hnre-- il2 the rain, whiethose foresighted enough to malkcreservations picked them ulp and%walked inside. There was an airof expctancy anld a feeling ofpartici~pating in something newin the audience, with neithier therain nlor the cold afectig spiritsadv~ersely.

The chrEoice of underground filmsfor a midnight festival deservessome commenit; for altough bothiHarvard and MIT have god filmsocieties which show a fair num-ber of experimental or under-ground- films, thei shows aregenerally confined to} early week-nigvhts. The adoption 'of ths ma-terial by a commercial theatreindicates that. the student film-setisla }ve-had -their effet inestablishing anl audienoe for thesefilms. In addition the commercialtheatre can, by virtue of its lo-cation and advertising placement,

reach a new audience for these

Mt qualit filmns

The particular films screened

Friday were of unusually high

qiuality for the underground andperhaps indicate a direction ofbetter technical quality among

the film makers. Kuchar's "HoidMe While I'm Naked" was a hu-morous and poignant display ofpost-adolescent sexuat frustrationand unresolved oedipal feelings."Relativity" by Ed Emshwiliermight very well be the most im-portant film t come out of theunderground and I hope it willbe screened again in the area forthose who missed it. The strengthof this movie is, as the titleimplies, its ability to deal withtechnical issues and artifacts aswell as the organic.

hnger' "Fireworks" i"Time of the IAbcust" both dealt,in their o wn way, with the ever

present themes of sadism andviolence. At the very least, the

underground provides for a dif-ferent interpretation of thesethinees than the glorificatinm theyreceive on television and in thenews. Messaiges aside, though itwas most gratifying to this nightowl to see so many people showup for the show, there certainlyis demand for more late Wghtenltertainrnent in B3oston. And whoknows, more activity in this di-rection may lead to a change in'the blue-laws and. dare we say,a more realsti approach to thecolege age population by the cityof Bocston.

Though its subject is rwt Tech-oriented, as has been true of mostpast productions, it is conceived,planned, arid will be executedcompletely by the student body(with a distaff assist from thelocal girls' schools).

Deloss Brown '63, the director,and Ellen Greenberg '68, arerunning the show. The show's of-ficial advisor is Prof. Albert Gur-ney, winner of last year's EverettMoore Baker Award.

What the show needs now ispeople. People to perform in thechorus, actors, and mosay non-performers to handle the finances,design and build the set, and thelike. There is plenty of room, andall that is required is an interestand willingness to work. Therewill be no rehearsals umnil secondterm, and the show will be per-formed March 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9.

Anyone at all interested shouldcome to the auditions, which willbe held Nov. 28, 29, and 30 at7:30 pm in the East Lounge ofthe Student Center. Any ques-tions can be answered by lissGreenberg at x5983 or 876-3177.

This year's upcoming TechShow is a classic. That is, it takesits theme from a Greek classic,Euripides' "Alcestes." In-- theoriginal, Admetus, in retun forservices rendered, is given a du-bious blessing by Apollo. H mayprolong his life indefinitely, butonly by offering someone to diein his place. Mrding rm one buthis faithfu wife, Aleestes, he of-fers her. Heracles then enters thepicture, eventually agreeing to godown to the underworld and bringAlcestes back.

Wry twist on classicDeloss Brown's version, a musi-

ecal comedy, adds several wry

twists. The marriage of Alcestesand Admetus is one of converaience, contrived by their respec-tive families. And a bumblingHeracles brings b ack the wrongwoman from the dead.

The classical characters arethere in full blom - the ludi-crous old man, the boasful sol-dier, the wily slave. A 'deus exmacl-raw' is provided to extricatethe plot. The point of departure,though, is the chorus, which stepsinto prominence and makes -theshow a musical, rather than aplay with music appended.

People neededThe show is an MIT baby.

Some questions have arisen r.eently about the allocation of the"in the Athletic Department's facilities. Specifically, it has been c'-mon practice in the past to allmow 1 basketball teams to reserve fucourts in the Armory for practice.

On thd face of it this would appear to be relatively harmless. Plwhen one considers the fact that there are 72 teams entered this year,it becomes absurd. There are full courts in the Armory, with one moreTin the Cage. However, the latter is virtially unusable due to the steetof varsity practice.

Tme analysisConsidering the possibility of dlass conflicts and dinner schedules,

there are roughly 38 practice hours available per week, or 152 c0u.n)hours. This is slightly over two hours per team per week. But, it ian acknowledged fact that many teams practice three or four days aweek. This means, simply, that some living groups will suffer.

What can be done about this? The obvious answer is to expal.the athletic facilities as soon as possible. However, as was pointedout in this column earlier this year (September 29), this will not bepossible for another five to ten years. And, no major renovations of -the basketball facilities in terms of expansion are planned for thenear future.

Solution proposedA growing sport such as intramural basketball must, through what.

ever means available, find room to accommodate the increasing nun.bers of participant. There is one solution that has not -been tried yetwhich merits consideration. If teams were all6wed to oly reservehalf courts, the effective time would be doubled, still leaving ampleroom for practice. The only purpose a full court can serve is givinga team the chance to run to get in shape. A substitute for this couldbe five laps around the floor after each practice.

Problem. growingIf something is not done this year, the problem will merely cOI.

faced with a few more problems

than the play due to the peculiarnature of the field. A hollow randiagonally from one corner of the100-yard square area to the other.The nature of the weather forthe past few days made playingin this gully highly undesirable,with a resulting drop in thequality of the rugby playedtherein.

By Paul Baker

Whenever a basketball team loses six of its firstseven men it has to hurt. This is the fate whichfaces Tech coach John Barry. After two excellentseasons, winning eighteen and nineteen games,Coach Barry is plagued by that nemesis of allcoaches, graduation.

Concerning this season, Barry is slightly pessi-mistic. After enjoying tremendous height and ex-perience for two years, he is forced to start from

cratch with smaller, largely inexperienced men.Six-foot five Dave Jansson '68 is Barry's ace in

the hole. One of three returning lettermen, Janssonhas totaled 868 points during his two varsity cam-paigns, and will probably break the MIT all-timescoring record.

Bash at centerAlex Bash '68 is likely to be the Tech center.

Another returning letterman, Bash has seen con-siderable action but was not a starter last season.

Lacking other experienced tall men, CoachBarry may go with three guards. Bruce Wheeler'70 and Steve Chamberlain '70, two outstandnigguards on last year's freshman squad and SteveDeRodeff '68 are three outstanding prospects. CoachBarry said that he is impressed by the play of BobVegeler '70, Dan Santini '67 (a fifth year studentwho was red-shirted one year to remain eligible),and a senior transfer student Lee Kammerdiner.

Barry is concerned by his lack of board strength.Neither Bash nor Jansson are heavy, and they willhave some difficulty with bigger men. To combatthis, Coach Barry plans to use a press and a tightman-to-man defense. The team has a lot of speed

and may be able to compensate for the lack ofstrength.

Tougher schedule plannedThis year's schedule may be more difficult than

last' season's. Catholic University (Was.hington,D.C.) and Wheaton College (Illinois), new scheduleadditions, are both tough teams. In addition, theteam will participate in the Union Tournament in-cluding Hope, Lehigh, and Union Colleges.

With a few games experience Coach Barry thinksthat he may be able to muster a fairly good team.

McHugh of Boston State leadtheir team with a 254, but therest of the team faltered and theiraggregate score was only 1058.This is Boston State's first year in the Greater Boston CollegiateRifle League. Thus the small sizeof their team (only six men asoamnr'd rt- ten a1rllowerdr to fire
