The Undergraduate Associa-tion has granted the LectureSeries Cormmittee (LSC) anlonopoly to charge for movies.

"All they want is the ASA tohave money," said Javan Pattin'83, LSC Chairman. "in talkingto Srim Austin .. I believe he hasno conception how to runmovies.' S

LSC would raise its admittanceto S1.25 if the ASA passed the tenpercent tax, declared Pattin.

"I do not think it [the licensingfeel is a really good ida"saidKenneth Segef '83, UA President."A ten percent tax on LSC is go-ing to benefit the Film companiesas mu1ch as it beriefits the studentsof' MIT."' Film rental companiescharge a fraction of LSC's grossprofits: if ticket prices wereraised, the comnpany profits wouldincrease.

On the other end of' the spectrum is the new Rod Rodney/Ira Sullivatn atlbuill. It'sone of the most ref'reshing jazz releasCS1 in a%while, and it brings back to the scene tIovery talented musicians.

Red Rodney is best known as the ~ihltetrumpeter who replaced Miles Da ~~ n ECharlie Parker's 1949 quintet. Al'tcr Icel·. ing Parker, his liffe was a series 01' LIP nd downs, co~mbining drug problemls wcith Nddte~eth.

faculty. These committees deal with policy issues that affect everyundergraduate student. These committees hold regular meetings,usually weekly. Many also divide into subcommittees when severalissues are being considered.

Presidential committees deal with the operations and activities ofthe Institute. They sometimes involve not only faculty, students andadministrators, but also other employees and the surrounding com-munity. Students serving on these committees are almost alwaysfull voting members. Most committees meet weekly with othersmeeting only once per term.

The Corporation Joint Advisory Committee on Institute Wide Af-fairs was created by the Corporation to keep it advised of importantissues on the iMIIT campus. The committee has no specific issuewhich it must address. In the past it has reviewed important issuesincluding the selection of the new president. Meeting frequency de-pends on the issue currently being investigated.

The Coop Board of Directors includes many persons from theMIT community. The board has asked the U.A. Nominations Com-mittee to suggest two students whose names will be endorsed bythe Coop on the spring ballot. The students, as all other members,are paid as full board members of the Harvard Cooperative Society.Meetings are held regularly about once a month and more frequent-ly if members are on subcommittees.

In addition to those-listed below there are several committees of

the Undergraduate Associaion. Membership is either open or bycommittee hearing. Each committee holds several meetings duringthe term which may involve up to several hours per week. Contact

the L.A. Office for more information on any of these committees.

This supplement contains descriptions of all the Institute com-mittees with undergraduate members. Though there are many ad-ditional committees (all the Institute Committees have shortdescriptions published yearly in Tech Talk) these include ones inwhich students play an integral part. The student members areeither specifically required in the Rules and Regulations of theFaculty or are requested by the committee chairman or person towhom the committee reports.

This insert is intended to make available to interested students ashort description of all committees requesting undergraduate sup-port. Included are names of chairpersons and the current studentmembers. Should more information be desired than is includedhere, these people should be able to answer any questions. In addi-tion, all students serving on these committees have been requestedto file report forms to the Nominations Committee. Copies of theseare kept on file in the U.A. office and should soon appear in the Stu-dent Center Library. These contain useful information on what thevarious committees have done in the past and what their currentconcerns are. The majority of these committees receive their un-dergraduate members through the Nominations Committee of theUndergraduate Association. However, some of the committeesselect their own members.

The following committees are those that currently have under-graduate members. All undergraduates are eligible to hold seats onthese committees. There is usually no prerequisite to serving on acommittee. In most cases the students play an integral part in thecommittee and have full voting rights.

The Faculty Committees are created by majority vote of the

This spring the Nominations Committee will be asking all stu-dents interested in the committees below to attend the hearings asscheduled. Any interested undegraduate is eligble to fill a seat onone or more of these committees. In the past there have been fromno interested students per seat too as many as five or more. A fewcommittees have had vacant seats for almost a year.

At these hearings the Nominations Committee will first reviewthe scheduled committee. Time commitments and length of the stu-dent term will be among trhe items discussed. After this the Nom-Comm will interview all interested students at the hearing. Once thestudents lhave been placed in preferential order. the person incharge of the committee wil be notified to contact the student whenhis/her term begins.

Notice we are hearing for UA Finboard and the "Committee onthe Writing Requirement." This may seem curious, as we haven'theld hearings for Finboard before, and the Committee on theWriting Requirement doesn't exist.The revised Finboard membership includes a member from

Nominations Committee. Other members come from Finboardhearings, the ASA, and the GA.At its next meeting the Faculty will vote on a CEP motion

establishing a writing requirement committee, and recommendrevisions to it. As last seen, the motion calls for ten, members, twoof whom will be undergraduates. While the committee doesn't existyet, we are hearing for the committee with the expectation thatnominations will be requested.
