Wednesday, January 15,

By Andy FishIn a departure from its original

plan, the Department of PublicWorks (DPW) will keep the Har-vard Bridge open to all vehiclesduring its reconstruction. Thefull reconstruction of the bridgewill begin in 1987, said ChestenRadio of the DPW, but he didnot know how long the recon-struction would take.

The DPW planned to close thebridge in order to complete thereconstruction as quickly as pos-sible, Radio said. Better workcould have been done with thebridge closed, he said. Recon-struction will now extend over alonger period of time.

The new plan "probably fellinto place over the last couple ofmonths," said 0. Robert Simha,MIT director of planning, in aninterview with The Tech. Severalfactors caused the DPW tochange plans:

e A preliminary environmen-tal assessment described the ad-verse impact of detoured trafficon the surrounding roads, Simhasaid. Thirty thousand vehicles usethe bridge daily. The traffic prob-lems. would be 'heart-breaking,"Radlo said.

0 The Massachusetts BayTransportation Authority(MBTA) also wished to use thebridge for its #1 Harvard-Dudleybus route, Sirnha said. The routehad to be lengthened by over twomiles because of the bridge clos-ing, he added.

The DPW intends to termporar-

ily repair the eastern, down-stream side of the bridge thisspring, Simha said. It will alsorepair damage caused by a De-cembet truck accident. "Thedamage done by the truck wassignificant," Radlo said.

The reconstruction wild allowMBTA buses to use the down-stream side of the bridge, Simhasaid. The full refurbishing of thebridge will be completed one halfat a time, with the bridge remain-ing open to pedestrian, MBTA,and private automobile traffic atall times, he continued.

Temporary repair on the down-stream side of the bridge will becompleted by the end of this,summer, Radlo said. At that timeall traffic will use the downstreamside of the bridge, rather than thecenter lanes, he continued.MBTA buses will be permitted touse the bridge at this time.

The bridge, however, will stillbe closed to trucks, according toa Dec. 17 memorandum fromSimha to Senior Vice PresidentWilliam R. Dickson and Associ-ate Dean for Student AffairsRobert A. Sherwood.

The DPW will accept bids forthe permanent refurbishing of thebridge next year, according to thememorandum. Reconstructionwill begin on the upstream sideof the bridge and will involve thetotal replacement of the super-structure, the memorandum stat-ed. The DPW will sponsor apublic hearing on the new plan assoon as Feb. 11 Radlo said.

Bishop Desmoond M. Tutu, winner of the Nobel peace prize, speaks out against apartheidFriday at Harvard.

Tutu backs apartheid protestsBy Katie Schwarz

American protests againstapartheid give hope to aparth-eid's opponents in South Africa,said Bishop Desmond M. Tutu atHarvard University Friday night.

"Some people may want -to sayto you that what you do tenthousand miles away doesn't af-fect South Africa, but what youdo reverberates around theworld," said the 1984 NobelPeace Prize laureate, speaking atHarvard's Kennedy School ofGovernment on the first day of atwelve-day North American tour.

Anti-apartheid movements inforeign countries send a messageto South African activists thattheir cause is just, Tutu contin-

ued, as well as causing foreigngovernments to put political andeconomic pressure on Pretoria.Tutu attributed the sanctionsimposed by Congress on SouthAfrica last summer to "peoplepower."

A wide gap separates white andblack South Africans' percep-tions of their country, the Bishopsaid. "What you see depends onwho you are . . . when we lookat the same reality, we perceive adifference."

White South Africans believethat their country is becomingless segregated, Tutu said, but"the perception of blacks is op-posite . . . it is as if we inhabitdifferent planets." To black

South Africans, reforms such asthe repeal of laws forbiddingracially mixed marriages are cos-metic and the government "re-mains as oppressive, as ruthlessas ever," he explained.

Southt Africa blacks are nolonger satisfied with-gradual, in-cremental improvements, Tutuwarned. "You don't reform anoppressive state, you destroy it."A proposed new constitutiongiving greater political power to

The MIT Campus Police, theCambridge Fire DepartmentArson Unit and the Naval Inves-tigative Services pooled their ef-forts in the investigation of thatBuilding 20 fire, Olivieri said inan interview with The Tech.

Robert C.

In-side, they found desks in threeseparate offices ablaze. The stu-dents, who wished to remainanonymous, then called the firedepartment and put out theflames with assistance from thefiremen.

The fire resulted in no injuriesand the offices, which containedpersonal and administrative files,suffered only minimal propertydamage. "There were ashes onthe desks, as if the blotters wereburned, and that's about it,"reported a Harvard ROTC par-ticipant who wished to remainanonymous. The following day,"business was going on as nor-mal" in the offices, he continued.

To provide a good engineeringeducation, MIT must make somesubstantial changes in curricula,"including possibly extending thenumber of years of education,'said Steven R. Lerman '72, pro-fessor of civil engineering, in anIndependent Activities Period fo-rum last Thursday.

Engineers' educational needsare now much greater than in thepast, he said, for engineeringconcerns have broadened.

Student Pugwash and the Sci-ence, Technology and SocietyProgram sponsored the discus-sion, entitled 'What Makes aGoo d-, Enigineering Education?"

"What it means to be an engi-neer has changed in the last thirtyto forty years," Lerman said. Forinstance, transportation engineersin the past were concerned onlywith building roads, he ex-plained. Now they must also erxaminze the effects of constructionon the environment and society.

Jack L. Kerrebrock,, chairmanof the Commission on Engineer-ing Undergraduate Educationand- associate dean of the Schoolof Engineering, said that "theconsensus in the commission isthat the major issue is the learn-ing environment at MIT, not thecontent of the education."

The commission, formed lastSeptember, has developed a pre-liminary definition of goals forengineering education at MIT.These goals include providingstudents with understanding ofthe "economic, political, social,

and environmental issues Sur-rounding technical develop-ments," according to Kerrebrock.

The commission expects toproduce a preliminary reportwith recommendations by May1986. It is divided into three sub-groups which are examining theInstitute core,- engineering cur-ricula, and Institute environment.

"What we teach our studentstoday is not very different fromwhat I studied," said James A.Fay '47, professor of mechanicalengineering. "What is different isthe emphasis on humanities andsocial science."

Although there is a problem inhow best to make use of time de-voted to humanities and socialsciences, Fay said, the math, sci-ence, and engineering curriculado not need substantial revision.

'Leo Marx, chairman of theCommittee on Integrated Studies,said the connection between engi-neering and humanities must bemade in class. "[MIT] can't justhave separate courses and expectthat the connection will bemade."

"It is important that engineersaddress issues of social responsi-bility in !he -conteu of engineer-ing education," according toKathryrn Harrison C of MIT Stu-dent Pugwash. By incorporatingenvironmental, ethical, social,and political issues into corecourses and research programs,engineers could explore social is-sues outside of humanities andsocial science classes, shesuggested.

Caroline A. Whitbeck '70, vis-iting associate professor in theSchool of Engineering, said"technology has produced newmorality which caused a need forresponsibility [among engi-neers]." Humanistic consider-ations, she said, should bebrought into the engineering edu-cation itself to produce a respon-sible engineer.

Faculty from STS (Science, Technology and Society) and representatives of StudentPugwash discuss "What makes a good engineering education" in an IAP forum Thursday.

Pressure causes 'firehoseBy Ben Stanger

President Paul E. Gray '54 andother faculty and students unani-mously agreed yesterday that"getting an education at MIT islike drinking from a firehose."There is a paradox. to MIT's"boot-camp syndrome," in whichsloth represents the "cardinalsin," Gray said. This paradoxconcerns both resentment andpride.

Much of MIT's fast pace isself-imposed and driven by "themores of the community," Graysaid. The pace can result in re-sentment of the Institute, he ex-plained, citing "The Big Screw"and "IHTFP." When graduateslook back on their years at MIT,however, it is with a sense ofpride for having 'survived," hesaid. Alumni say they learnedhow to cope with pressure andperform at a high level when nec-essary. These two perspectivesrepresent the paradox of MITeducation, Gray concluded.

continued. "Surprisingly enough,MIT tends to reinforce those ten-dencies more than a little bit.

'We are a firehose; we want tobe a firehose; we will always be afirehose," he said. That shouldnot interfere with the students'choices, Drake added.

George E. Georges '86 echoedDrake's concerns. His years hererepresented a typical "firehose"experience, he claimed, with anaverage of five hours of sleep ona week-night and eight to ten'all-nighters" per semester.

Students need to gain the sensethat one has control over whatcomes out of the firehose,Georges said. Changing thefreshman requirements, in par-ticular the physics requirement,would help in this respect, hesuggested.

Other students at the forumfelt similarly about the freshmanphysics requirement. Alan F.Szarawarski '88 suggested replac-ing a few of the lectues forPhysics I (8.01) and other fresh-man core courses into guest lec-tures by faculty from theprogram in Science, Technologyand Society.

One concern shared by severalpeople at the forum was that

freshmen becomein MIT culturearriving.

indoctrinatedsoon after

After ten days, students al-ready know the "game rules,"said Margaret L. A. MacVicar'65, dean for undergraduate edu-cation. "The culture is set by theupperclassmen," said Samuel JaYKeyser, professor of philosophyand associate provost.

Professor James R. Munkresblamed the faculty for most ofthe pressure at MIT. Ninety-fivepercent of the faculty "wouldn'tbe caught dead at a forum likethis," he said. "Nobody's blamedthe faculty yet. I'm prepared to."

"The faculty are part of theculture and the students are partof the culture, so everyone's im-plicated," Rich Cowan Gconcluded.

trol - involve both technical andsocial issues, he explained, andeducating people who can dealwith them is "something MITought to be doing."

Marx heads the Committee onIntegrated Studies, which hasbeen examining the possibility ofa "college" combining technicaland liberal arts education for aselect group of MIT undergrad-uates. He outlined some prelimi-nary conclusions of the commit-tee's term-long study at the openforum, which was attended bymost of the committee members,about eight students and Directorof Admissions Michael C.Behnke.

Students would enter the newdegree program at the beginningof the freshman year, and emergewith "dual competency' in botha technical field and a humanisticfield.

There is a need for the pro-posed new program because thepresent joint degrees in Human-ities and Engineering or Human-ities and Science (Course XXI-Eor XXI-S) do not provide enoughfellowship among students, Marxsaid. Students majoring in theliberal arts have trouble finding"like-minded people;" he said.

By contrast, Marx sees theintegrated college as a "truly hos-pitable environment" whichwould make students feel "privi-leged, specially endowed, highlyencouraged." The-100 to 150 stu-dents per class that Marx hopesto attract would share a core ofrequirements, including a fresh-man subject in Western cultureand upper-level "bridge" semi-

nars dealing with topics such asinnovation in science and arts.

MIT needs the new college tomeet its "special responsibilitytoday in a society increasinglydependent on the social conse-quences and applications ofscience-based technology," hesaid.

Marx stressed the potentialrigor and challenge of the newcollege: 'It should be more de-manding than" an ordinary de-gree." Graduates would fulfill therequirements for a normal MITdegree in both of their fields ofstudy, he said; consequently, fewfree electives would be available.

'>e goals of the new degreeprogram, according to Marx, in-clude attracting high school stu-dents who qualify for MIT butdo not attend because the Institu-te's reputation for engineeringovershadows its other offerings.A freshman at the forum, whosaid he had been more interestedin the broader education at Har-vard and Stanford but was notadmitted there, said that "a pro-gram like yours would have madethe decision [to come to MIT] alot easier.'

Professor Philip Khoury, amemb~e of the,,iommittee, agreedthat -competition for the top stu-dents with schools such as Har-vard, Stanford and Princetonhurts the Institute. -People in thefaculty more and-more fear nar-rowness" in the student body, headded, and this--narrowness is"jeopardizing the future."

To counteract this trend, Marxsaid the committee plans national

To the tdtor:Recently -one of the most important

topics of discussion at- MIT has been theissue of curricular reform. Since the meet-.ng held at Woodstock, VT, this past sum-mer, fund amental change in the outlook of'the MIT education has become a very realpossibility.

During this past term the Committee onthe Undergraduate Program (CUJP) hasbeen familiaing itself with some of theimportant issues facing MIT, and it iscurrently looking at the fundamental ob-jectives and characteristics of an MIT un-dergraduate education. On Monday andTuesday, Jan. 27 and 28, the CUP will beholdin intensive meetings to agree on itsgoals and set an agenda for the comingyear. The three main points of discussionwill be the nature and character of an MITundergraduate education in broad terms,the relative priority of undergraduate edu-cation amongst other faculty commitmentsaned undertakings, and the suitability andeffectiveness of current learning styles andformats.

The goals agreed upon at these meetingswill set the tone for the work done by theCUP during the coming term and verypossibly for years to -come. Therefore,now is the time whcin~student input willhavre the maximum effect on the workdone by the CUP.

Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra,conducted by Gustav Leohardt, JordanHall, January 11.

The Boston Early Music Festival Or-chestra rekindled memories of last sum-mner's festival with performances whichshowed both polish and spirit.

Conductor Gustav Leonhardt led offwith Zelenka's Sinfonia a 8 concertandi,quickly establishing the orchestra's vi-brant, bright sound. The Andante showedexcellent balance between John Gibbons'considered harpsichord playing, and Dan-iel Stepner's virtuoso violin work. Lyricaloboe playing blended particularly well intothe brew, as well. The Capriccio, whichfollowed, was quite elegant.

Georg Muffat's Sonata Quinta in Gfrom Armonico Tribuo was nicely done,too, but the highlight of the -first halfclearly came with Daniel Stepner's perfor-mance of Bach's Concerto in Efor Violin,Strings and Basso Continuo, BWV 1042.The Orchestra's satin smooth approach toBach is in marked contrast to the adrenalattack of Trevor Pinnock's English Con-cert (which will be heard in Boston onJan. 25), but the intensities of the piecedid not lack in power, and the cohesiveplaying of the orchestra together with itsclose relationship with Stepnler gave thework a personal intensity of its own. Step-ner's relaxed, inward-looking performance

of the Adagio was especially well matchedby the orchestra's idyllically unified-support.

"We must have recourse to the rules [ofmusic] only when our genius and our earseem to deny what we are seeking,' wroteRameau. His Orchestral Suite from ZajMshas more than adequate originality to ex-cuse itself from sticking to "the rules," al-though some of the work's first audiencesthought Rameau was taking too many li-berties with his modern ideas. As one con-temporary noted "I consider that the Ou-verture paints so well the unravelfinlg ofchaos that it is unpleasant.

But there was only pleasure to be foundin the lively and colorful performance ofthe Festival Orchestra. The variety to befound in the suite was well brought out,delicate solo wind passages done withgrace, rhythmically propulsive dances in-jected with the excitement of a vigorously-played tambourine.

The Festival Orchestra has already es-tablished itself as a major force in EarlyMusic. An orchestra which combines sub-lime legato with energetic drive and a deepunderstanding of the requirements of Ear-ly M9tlsic is certainly welcome to providefestival spirit in Boston as often aspossible.

Minor White taught at MIT from 1965until his death in 1976. At first, his rela-tionship with the Institute was tenuous. Itis reported that MIT was concerned thatWhite might be too unorthodox. Soon,however, his role became clear: to exposestudents to creativity in a medium otherthan their own. This seemed to sit wellwith White, who offered his Creative Au-dience class, replete with his philosophy ofheightened awareness as a precursor toseeing. Exercises included meditation and

MIT's Rotch Libray has a completecollection of Minor WhilteIs books and ex-hibition catalogs. Minor White: Rites andPassages is available from Aperture, Inc.,in Millertown, New York. I highly recom-mend this book as an essential part of aphotography library, both for the strengthof Mhe collection and for the excellence ofreproductions.

Chanl sees the number of stu-dents leaving Caltech without de-grees -about 30 percent of eachenterin class-as another sig-niificant problem. Caltech is alsonot attracting as many of the tophigh school students as it wouldlike because of its reputation as anarrow and pressurized school,stated a recent report by a facultycommittee on admissions.

In preparation for their report,scheduled for the end of Febru-ary, the committee is seeking sub-stantial student input. They willhave held after-dinner discussionsin all seven Caltech dormitoriesby next week, as well as talkingprivately with students and con-tacting both alumni and drop-oults. The two visitors noted theirlong-term involvement withstudent affairs: Wales is a formerdean of students, Chan a formermaster osf student houses.

Students play an importantrole in education reforms at Cal-tech, C~han and Wales agreed.The faculty and administration,in their turn, have been "prettyresponsive" to student sugges-tions in Chan's judgment.

Teaching quality and studentmorale are,amnng the items onthe stu'dent-generated agenda for

,.the upcoming conference, ac-cording to The California Tech,the student newspaper. "Highteaching quality is somethingwhich many of us do not expect.The standard excuse is that Cal-tech is a research institution, andhence the. students should not ex-pect good teaching as well," ac-cording to the Nov. 1 issue.

But Chan saw teaching qualityas a problem chiefly among newteachers. He was also optimisticabout morale: "Student moraleat the present time is very good.X.. the freshmen are unusuallyresponsive."

Bishop Tutu appeared pessi-mistic about the prospects for apeaceful solution in South Afri-ca, even though he gained famefor his emphasis on nonviolence.'6No society has voluntarily givenup power or been willing to sharepower," he said. He saw pressurefrom foreign governments as theonly remaining hope for inducingpeaceful change in apartheid.

Tutu will call for internationalpunitive sanctions against South

Africa if there are no 'apprecia-ble developments in the dismani-tling of apartheid" by the end ofMarch, he said in a press confer-ence after the lecture. If interna-tional pressure is insufficient, "wewill have Armageddon,' he add-ed. "You can't talk about peace-ful change when a thousand havealready been killed.... Theprincipal violence in South Afri-ca is the violence of apartheid."

About 800 people saw thebishop's 20-minute talk, andanother 1000 watched him onclosed-circuit TV, according tothe event's organizers.

Jaron Bourke, the Harvardsophomore who invited Tutu,called for the university's divest-ment of stock in companiesoperating in South Africa in hisintroduction to the Bishop's talk.In his address, Tutu endorsed aslate of three pro-divestment can-didates for Harvard's Board ofOverseers.

The two teams were closelymatched, as coach Gordon Kellynoted before the meet, but an un-usually strong showing by thevisiting Engineers gave them theclear victory.

After a series of disap-pointingly short throws, ScottDeering '89 threw the 30-lb.weight 45'6Y2", bettering secondplace by over a foot, and MikeO'Leary '87 took third with atoss of .38 '1 1 " .

The cold war has begun. Allthat is left is the final, decisivebattle by the opposing armies.The Superbowl is like a symbolof a greater state-state conflic.

*The MFC and ABC pit brotheragainst brother. Here there is noLincoln, only-the referees and thefans are civilians in this greatbattle. Safe from personal dan-ger, they flaunt their immunity bybragging about the superiority oftheir army.

I was- seAver- much of a footballfan. Now I find -that everywhere Iturn, talk about football is in the*air. I am constantly called uponto defend the place of my birth-against sundry threats' of ursinedismemberment. I- have beendrawn into the fray.

I suppose one of the most diffi-cult things about being fromChicago, at this point in -time isthat everyone expects "you topledge loyalty to Mie- Ditka.There is nowhere to, turn.- Theghouls watt you to renounce anyaffiliati on, you may have withChicago, and the nice guys wantyou to be ati-Patriots (so theycan beat you up).

The fish have been squished,and the New England Patriotswill advance to the Superbowl towrestle the Chicago Bears. TheBoston media has pounced hun-grily on this Cinderella team.

But the media has neglected aspecial problem: the conflict ofinterest faced by those of us poorChicagoans displaced in this cityof freedom trails and bakedbeans. Our loyalties are split.Our personalities are in danger ofthe same football-fan fate.

After last Sunday's game I waswarned by my Friends that (formy own safety) I should not wearmy Chicago Bears -RefrigeFator'shirt-a-ny more. My motherbought me that shirt, but now Ican't wear it in. public for fear of-being skinned alive. New Eng-land, the cradle of liberty. HAH!

.To'be fair, I suppose that Pa-triot's shirts in Chicago would'beeiually unwelcome now. Chicagohas a reputation for violence tomaintaini Since neither side has'had much to cheer about- in thepast couple of decades, Chica-goans and New Englanders arevery keyed-up for the Superbowl.

I'd feel like a traitor if Idumped the Bears. Yet I ain alsono prisoner of war: I can't sayI'm unhappy-to see the Patriotsin the Superbowl.

Now, of course, it isn't all thatbad - being of dual loyalty hasits benefits. I won't be disap-pointed by the outcome of theSuperbowl this year. I will becheering every play on Jan. 26. Ifthe Patriots win, I'll rejoice witheveryone else, and if the Bearswin, a local Pat's fan owes mewsundae. .

Bears fans can also find a largesupport network here at MIT. Iam able to discuss the Bears' sea-son with my friends from Chica-go. Popular topics include The'Fridge, and the "Superbowl

iShuffle."

I am sitting on the -proverbialfence. Stalled on anl emotional50-yard line, I am still-able to putasWide my loyalty to thie Bears

[long enough to wish the Patriots:the good luck 'in the Superbowl.

I know they are going to needit.
