,What do I think about protest by students on thepresence of recruiters at MIT'

Picketing of governmental and corporate recruitingactivities on the university campus has become a majorway by which student protestors choose to draw atten-tion to their views on the present national policy in VietNam. I understand that process and would be disap-pointed if our students did not have an opportunity toexpress vigorous dissent in a manner compatible with theobllgations of membership in the Institute community.It is a principle of the university to permit, provide, andprotect an environment where dissent is possible. I hopethat visitors to our campus will understand this.

On the other hand, it is important that such pro-test not become violent or abusive or interfere or limitthe reasonable rights of others in the process. A secondpr-inciple of the university is that members of our com-munity should have access to infor mation. I would bedisappointed if an interest in such occupational informa-tion on the part of students were not present on ourcampus, and we have a responsibility to permit suchaccess.

I am well aware that questions as to the appropri-ateness of some applications of these principles shouldbe opened to dicussion by students and faculty. But theway to consider such matters is by the kind of discussionappropriate to our open community and not by denyingor damaging the rights of others. To infringe the rightsof either protestors or those who seek information aboutjobs, inflicts grievous damage on. the integrity and thelong-run quality of the academic community.

Finally, let me say, the university should not be putinto the position of meeting force on the part of peoplewho abuse the privileges of the academic community.We have to rely therefore on the good sense and self-discipline of all of our members. I believe we can do soat MIT.

The most significant change inthe structure of the the Freshmanyear to be considered since 1964 iscurrently undergoing lively discus-sion in the Committee on Educa-tional Policy.

Professor Walter Rosenblith,Chainenan of the CEP, told TheTech Wednesday night he expectsa decision from his committee bythe end of this month on the vari-ous proposajs to eliminate fresh-men grades in all courses. DeanPaul Gray, Chairman of theFreshman Advisory Councid, saidthe CEP has discussed nothingelse but the Pass-Fail proposalsall last month, and that a deci-sion could be reached as early asnext week. Last Tuesday twomembers of the CEP were out oftown, so a decision of this maga-nitude was deemed inappropriateunless the full committee wasPresent.

At one extreme among the alter-natives to restructure freshmangrades, is simply to issuegrades in any course.Freshmen would be told

by the instrucor as to whether hehad Passed the course or not, andsome form of written or oral feed-back about his over-all perform-ance wodld be communicated. It isdoubt whether so drastic a plancould attract the necessary sup-port.

MAother proposal maintais thePresent quiz structure with scoresrecorded as they are now. Thedifference would be at the end ofthe term; the grade would be re-corded only Pass or Fail, andgaan§ some special feedback

Would be given to the freshman.Still a third basic idea is to

Mailtain the present system com-Plete with grade reports (A, B, C,etc.), except that such gradesWoUld be know only to the stu-

dent and not enter permanent re-cord, the transcript recordingonly pass or fail. This is essenti-ally the Caltech plan.

The CEP must consider theseproposals and all variations ofthem. Of course, it could rejectany and all changes.

It is more likely, however, thatthe CEP will make some recom-mendations to the Faculty, whichmust ultimately pass on anychange. The Committee could by-pass the Faculty only by declar-

The Students for a Dem-ocratic Society, and Com-

nittee to End the War inVietnam both plan to picketin some fashion, the DowChemical Company recroit-er when he is on campusMonday and Tuesday.

Ed Lucas '68, of the SDS, stat-ed that at a meeting held lastMonday the organization had de-cided to picket the Dow represen-tative in an effort to prevent Dowfrom recruiting on campus. Thisaction would be taken, he said,because of Dow's "status as awar criminal." Dow is the Def-ense Department's major supplierof napalm, used in incendiarybombs in Vietnam.

The invitationLucas also stated that the de-

onstration would be directed ag-ainst MIT's invitation to Dow torecruit on campus, and againstMIT's furnishing the Dow repre-entatives with rooms. MIT's ac-tion in this respect, Lucas said,

Ob'jecys to napalms

demonstrated its complicity in thewar effort.

Monday morning ralyAs part of the demonstration,

a rally is planned for 9 a.m. Mon-day on the Student Center steps,possibly featuring a discussion onscientific complicity in the war.The actual tactics for the demon-stration have nt yet been deci-dled on, and whether it will takethe form of a sit-in or picketingwill be discussed at a meetingSunday night.

Last February in a similar ef-fort, about 10 persons picketedthe Student Placement office whenthe Dow recruiters were on cam-pus. The demonstration, whichlasted about two hours was con-ducted in an orderly fashion.There were no incidents.

Harvard holds "lock-in"The demonstration at MIT will

occur within two weeks of a"lock-in" held for the same rea-son at Harvard. At Harvard, theDow recruiter was conrined. byprotesting students for six hoursin a chemistry lab. As a result ofthis action, Harvard placed sev-enty-four students on probation,and "admonished" 171 for parti-cipation in the demonstration.

Pusey deplores demonstrationin announcing the University's

action, Harvard President NathanPusey described the demonstra-tion as "simply unacceptable."Pusey noted that "No one in anofficial connection with the Uni-versity has ever suggested thatstudents should not have freedomto demonstrate in an orderly fas-hion," but, he added, "this kdnd ofconduct is simply unaeceptablenot only in a community devotedto intellectual endeavor, but . . -

in any decent democratic society.'Crimson condemns pwshnmentThe Harvard Crimson, in an

interfere or limit the reasonablerights of others in the process."He said the Institute could Vrottolerate- any protest which in-fringed on the reasonable rightsof others, which includes therights of students to attain occu-pational information as well.

'Reasonable' access neededAsked about any possible action

against demonstrators at the FordBuilding when the representativevisits Monday, the President saidthat there would be no attempt tointerfere with any protest as longas it did not interfere with theoperations of the placement office.The Tech asked if sitting in thecorridors constituted interference,and he replied that the key to theissue is "reasonable." Preseum-ably, "reasonable" means thatpeople should be able to pass

through the corridors safely with-out undue inconvenience.

The campus patrol will be re-sponsible for enforcing order in-side the building and whereverotherwise necessary, but the Fordbuilding is located on a publicstreet. Hence, any outdoor activ-ity is subject to Cambridge au-thority.

No endorsement impliedThe president said that there is

people we are looking for are Ph.D.s who like the academic life ...

nothing contained in the basicprinciples of the university whichnecessitates a policy of allowingand endorsing ocmipational re-cruitment on campus. He stressedthat such facilities were main-tained strictly as a service to thestudents. Because it was a favor-ably received service, it shouldbe maintained without interfer-ence for the students seeking touse it. "If 75% of the studentsvoted not to have any recruit-ment, I would be inclined to re-consider the matter." He observedthat the Institute maintains itsplacement facilities at a "civildistance" from any academicbuildings.

Dr. Johnson did not appearoverly concerned about the prob-ability of any trouble Monday, al-though he did maintain that thedisciplinary code would be en-forced on any students who gobeyond reasonable limits. As tojust what disciplinary action wouldbe taken, he said, "that's up toDean Wadleigh's office."

Freshmen entering MIT arrive witha wide v\aety of background and prepar-ation, bu? the overwhelming majoritybring with them an intense desire tolearn. The question: Does the freshmanyear, in particular, stifle that learningdesire and substitute instead a far lesscreative struggle only for grades?

Almost from the day he arrives, astudent finds himself competing with hisfellow classmates. Faced with a systemthat seems to rely almost exclusively ongrades as a measure of performance, hemay distort his studying pattern to com-ply, and exchange his learning motivationfor a grade motivation.

Of course, it is easy to declare grad-ing, in general, the whipping-boy in anysuch discussion. But without having toraise the specter of evaluating the wholeproblem of what is a proper grading sys-tem-indeed, if one exists-we can statepositively some of the important argu-ments in favor of a pass-fail system atthe freshman level.

The freshman year still consists. ofcore subjects - not of the individual'schoosing. The amount of interest thatthese large subjects generate for an in-dTidu al might not be enough to enticehirm_ to compete aggressively for grades,and ,=t _'he is afraid not to do so.

The Caitech experience is-very en-lightering. It is to be remembered that,their oass-fail system consisted of es-sentially the same method which was ineffect prekiouslY] Only at the end of thefreshman year, fhe student knowing his"grades", was the record wiped clean,except where there had been failure.Though this seems like a small change,the results were remarkable. Students didthe work and were motivated as long asthe course remained stimulating. Themath course had to be changed to providethat stimulation when it was found thestudents were not working very hard inthe subject. But, over-all they enteredthe graded Sophomore year better pre-pared than their predecessors.

The principle credo of pass-fail is thatit puts the student's emphasis on learn-ing, not on grades. When grades becomeupper-most in a student's mind, he mayhave his desire to learn and explorestifled and no longer pursue his real in-terests with any vigor. The motivation

Hoping to arrive at a scientificallydocumented preliction on the winner ofthis year's freshman-sophomore finug.The Tech assembled its top brains andset them to work. After grinding andplugging for at least a minute, a consei-esus was reached. The task was -inposs-ible.

Stunned that 'the "Mecca of. Scieceand Technology" could not come up witha simple, fool-proof formula for comput-ing the winnetr of Field Day, we turned to

... -the .leral arts approach. This methodconsisted of look.ing at past winners, ex.

extrapola-ting 'thi .. new-found wisdom-to-

for work becomes not the subject mat-ter, but the final grade. This is basicallyan anti-intedlectual attitude.

At MIT the large amount of materialcontained in the core subjects can pre-vent a student from going into depth inany particular area. He tends, instead, toconcentrate on all the material equally,since he is to be tested on all the materialequally. There is no encouragement tostudy outside the assigned area, and ageneral discouragement of academic risktaking. Caltech, incidentally, found thatonce an attitude of true learning becameparamount, it tended to remain with thestudent,'even in graded years.

A system which de-emphasizes gradescan make ad'ustment that much easier.With reducad convmetition a student willevaluate what he is studying more interms of his own interests and values.

Of course, pass-fail brings some addedproblems. Courses must be stimulating;they must excite -the student to workhared -In ~tha... field. The instructor, too,must b.eav ,h'! burden. MIT students mayhave the m 'oivation,, the instructor mustsupplJy the incentive.

The student rwho becomes overly an-bitious ruder a pass-fail system also pre-sents a '-roblem, He may wish to exploretoo sma ny subjects with too little atten-tion to the core requirements. The fresh-man advisor must play a greater role inmore closely advising a student on thebest course of action.

No one will claim that pass-fail is apanacea for all that ails the Institute.Nevertheless, we feel it will significantlyreduce the unnecessary pressure ofgrades, that it will tend to encouragelearning for its own sake, and that it willtenrd to make the adjustmera to MIr'easier for freshmen. The encouragingnews from Caltech leads us to believethat the freshmen will enter their lateryears just as prepared for the work, butwith a significantly improved attitudetoward that work.

The Faculty should have the oppor-tunity to debate this issue. There arethose who have already voiced consider-able support for the plan. We would urgethe CEP to place before the Faculty apass-fail plan to be instituted on a twoyear experimental basis, hopefully to be-gin with next year's entering freshmen.

By Ed Chalfie

Tomorrow morning, when theCasses of '70 and '71 compete inField Day 1967, they will be carry-ing on a tradition with roots backinto the nineteenth century. Be-fore 1900, Field Day's forerunnerwas the Cane Rush. The rules for

the Rush were simple: the fresh-man class was given possession ofa wooden cane which they had toprotect from the sophomores. Thecompetition began with a pistolshot, and ended 15 minutes laterwith a second shot. The sophsusually attacked in a flying wedge

formation, and the contest was de-cided by counting the number ofhands gripping the cane after thefinal shot; the calss with thegreater tally was the victor.

Fatality brings changeThen, as now, feeling ran high

and some individuals possessedtoo much enthusiam. Such was thecase with Hugh Chadwick Moore'04.

In the Cane Rush of 1900, he andothers thought that the best courseof action would be to remain inaction after the final shot. Becauseof that strategy, and several bro-ken reck vertebrae, Moore died.This tragic occurrence signaledthe end of Cane Rush and, thefollowing year, the conception ofField Dty.

Field Day began, in 1901, as aseries of three athletic contests: afootball game, a relay race, anda tug-of-war. Due to victories in thfootball game and the relay race,the freshman class won the com-petition, six points to three. Fortheir efforts the calss of '05 re-ceived the first Field Day trophy,bearing the inscription, "He whoshuns the dust and heat or thearena shall not enjoy the cool

shade of the olive branch of vic-tory."

"Tech riot'Through those first few years,

Field Day chtnged and expandedmarkedly, until, in the years fol-lowing World War I it evolved in-to a two-day affair. During thisperiod, the conflict usually beganat a theater and culminated in astreet fight located in either Cam-bridge or oBston. From 1923 to1926, Field Day's opening eventwas the sophomore class baixuet.The freshmen had the task of dis-rupting the festivities as imaginatively and as completely as pos-sible.

In 1926, these fun and games re-sulted in what is fondly remem-bered as the "Tech liot." Suchcarefree diversions as breakingwindows, wrecking dance halls,smashing cars and subway trains,and throwing -bombs highlightedthe fracas. -The behavior of theseaspiring engneers prompted theBoston Post t label the Techmen'hoodlums."

As of 1900, tragedy had broughtabout Field Day, this shamefuloccurrence caused another inno-vation: the first glove fight. Thismove was intended to restrict the

combat to asmall area, as in heCane Rush.

In the 1930's a comrnon pareticeamong the spectators was to throwgarbage onto the field of battle.This ofen backfired, as the partici-pants momentarily forgot theirdifference and joined in flingthe refuse back at the spectators.According to the October 31, 1933issue of The' Tech, the arnmunitionutilized in that year's fight includ-ed "eggs, tomatoes, oranges, cab-bages, bananas, squash, and fish,all of which rhad long seen theirbest dayvs."

Pranks commonPranks have been carried off

in several Field Day competitions.Under the philosophy, "If youcan't win honestly, cheat likehell!" One enterprising sophomoreclass tied an extension of theirend of the tug-of-war rope to anearby telephone pole. Needless tosay, they won.

In another incident, the sopho-mores "captured" the freshmenand drenched their adversarieswith cold beer. The frosh got thelast laugh, however, when rein-forcements arrived with severalskunks.

Up to 1957, Field Day was spon-sored by the Athletic Association,and it featured -athletic contestsin addition to the glove fight. Inthat year the AA ended its par-ticipation because of the increas-ing unmber of injuries to varsityathletes. The administratmon .of theevent was taken over by BeaverKey, the junior honorary, now asenior honorary. To the glove fightthey have added competitions de-signed to test the skill and inge-nuity of the two classes.

How does MIT 'look to the 7000students who are its "insiders?""I see gray walls," says one. Sev-eral described the Institute as a

Ifactory of learning," while oneaUed it "efficient, clean, sterile,

barren.' And so grows its reputa-- 0 _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,

tion as the "great gray rock."Of course, one freshman did take

a lighter view. "Oh, it's not badfor a technical school," he ob-served. "When you think of a tech-nical school, you think of one biggray building, but WIT has a lotof big gray buildings."

Already strainining the 125-acreseams of its campus, the Institutemust come face to face with theimpossibly high cost of Cambridgereal estate while in the throes ofits $66,00,000 "Second Century"expansion program and try topresent an attractive face.

To this end, the planning office,headed by Robert Simha, beganits work in 1958 as part of the"Second Century" program. As itsname implies, the office tries tosuggest way of allotting availablespace between such -contrastingfacilities as parldng lots and land-scaped courtyards, considering notonly the effects on the studentcommunity, but also the Institute'srelationships with metropolitanCambridge.

Grass or parhg space?This business of protecting one

part of the student body, thepeople who like trees and grass,from another part, the peoplewho have cars and wish therewere someplace to park them is

what the planning office must con-tend with.

"'To make our campus look likea campus," is Simha's main goal,but often it can only be accom-plished a little at a time. There-fore they must "'do the kind ofsimple things . . . so studentswon't have to live in a slum en-vironment," while awaiting the re-suits of the present period ofbuilding.

A Uving organsmSenior architect Harry Portnoy

handles the case for campus beau-tification, and the main obstaclein his path is change itself. "MITis a living organism," Portnoypoints out. Under such extremeconditions of internal expansion,and without defirnite knowledge ofthe total building funds eventuallyto be available, his departmentmust compete with many othergroups needing money.

But internal change poses by nomeans the only threat to MlIT'sattractiveness-or what there is ofit. Laid out by the architect firmof Bosworth and built over aperiod of about 40 years, the mainbuilding complex was providedwith a courtyard but no centralquadrangle: no central unitingfeature at all except that corridor

with the gray walls.

unity lackingIn addition, the campus is cut

in half by Cambridge's main streetand otherwise mingled with thecity's business district so as toproduce a basic lack of unity.-

Confronted with these multitudi-nous problems, M!r. Portnoy mustwork with what he has: smallcomers left between "big graybuildings" and a limited budget.

Past successesIn spite of this, the beautifica-

tion program has quite a historyof success. The Chapel, KresgeAuditorium, and the lawn aroundthem occupy what was once aparking lot.

McDermott Court resulted froma joint effort of the planning de-partmnent and the Institute ArtCommittee, while other smallercourtyards have been landscaped,most notably those around Build-ings 10 and 7, the Alumni Pool,and the Student Center.

Nursery schoolMost iunusual for a college

campus is the playground at Eastgate, built for the MIT nurseryschool. Actually it isn't starting totrain engineers early, but servesas a convenience for married stu-dents.

With all these improvementSimha hopes to show that an at-tractive carnpus "is not just sortof nice, but something that af-fects us all." Already a favorableattitude on the part of the ad-ministration is helping to bringhis plans nearer reality, yet Sim-ha feels his staff could do noth-ing without the support of thestudents.

Their attitude, as expressed ineveryday actions and suggestionsphoned in to the planning office,will be the deciding factor.

Perhaps everyone could standto take a new perspective inlookig at MIT. And those peoplewho said the walls looked gray...perhaps they had not noticed thatthe ceilings are white.

wrights and authors are resnsible for some ofthe more memorable characters of this genre."Uncle Vanya," by Anton Chekhov, is one of these.

Depressing play

Anton Chekhov's play gives a good view of the

Russian temperament. However, te tendency of

past productions has been to give a view steeped

in paffthos. On the surface, the play is a stdy in

depression and despair. But it is much more than

this. The Tufts University Theatre sets out to igh-

light the other aspects of the play, as a "searchfor a kind of drama in which tragic and comicelemnents lose ftheir separate identities in a new, ifnameless, unity." The measure of its success is

whether the viewer comes away from the pro-

duction with a sense of utter futility, or whether

besides the sadness, there remains a warmth, gen-erated by the humanity of the character

The technical details of the play were practic-ally without flaw. The acting of the lead charac-

ters, the doctor (Jon Farris), Uncle Vanya (John

Watson), and Elena (Susan Abramovitz Rosen-

baum), were uniformly excellent. There wereminor lapses on the parts of Sonya (Sheryl Dold)and Ilya Illyich (Jonathan Hadley). Ronda Haub-en's portrayl of the nurse, although somewhattedious, was consistent throughout.

The central location of the stagte favored oneside for some scenes, but they managed to keepthe action rotating.

The costumes and set added much to the flavorof the play. The samovar with real tea, for in-stance, was especially impreve.

CharaeterizationThe real strength of the play lies, of course, in

the characters. For, in the midst of the severaltragedies of these people, we see faces, faces ofhuman beings, not tragic masks. What the com-pang succeeds in injecting is not comedy-a comicmask wvould be grotesque in this situation. Thefew times when the action occasioned laughterfrom the audcience seemed incongruous. The re-action to the players is not a laugh, it is a smile.Even in the last secene, a climax of despi, thereis a certain sweetness whiLch suggests that thehuman condition, however downtrodden, is stillworth the trouble.

An IT debate team, cmosedof Dave Hiatt '69 and Barry Rosen-baum '70, placed second in atournament held last week at Kan-sas State Teachers' College in En-poria, K a n s a s. The tournamentwas one of the debators' biggestfor the term, as 104 teams tookpart. The topic under debate was"Reseolved that the federal gov-ernmnent should guarantee a mini-mum annual cash icme for allcitizens." Hiatt and Rosenbaumlost the final round by a 3-2 splitdecision to Loyola of LOs Angeles.

best music was written for thiswork Richard Rudy '68 will takethe role of Lord Chancellor. Inother leading roles are Sue Wald-man as Phyllis and Karl Deirpas Strephon. Adminission is $2.00for all performances.

The opening c o n c e r t of theHumanities Series was engaging,not so much because of the per-formance but because of its pro-gram of unfanmiliar c h a m b erworks. The Zagreb Pro-ArteQuartet chose a well balanced setof compositions ,prim-ariy bySlavic composers. There was noD-vorak, Smnetna, Bartok, or Jana-cek- in fact the only familiarcomposer represented on the pro-gram was Schubert, hardly ofSlavic origin. Yet the material wmsof excellent calibre and in mostcases suited the performers well.

Problems occurAt the same time, the Zagreb

Quartet never seemed to be intop form. In every piece, someproblems occurred - particularlyin the Schubert quartet. T h i n g sgot off to a weak start in the fsthalf of the concert. Only after in-termission did the performancereach a high level of quality.

A short string quartet by theviolist, Miroslav Miletic, openedthe concert. Thie work was con-tnporary, filled with many sud-den contrasts but no extendeddevelopment. The problems en-countered in the performance ofit weer ones of coordination andbalance - problems that becamemerne pronounced in later pieces.

Quartet disappointingSchubert's Quartet in D Minor

("Death and the Maiden"), themost ambitious work on the pro-gram, came next. Here the per-formers realy seemed out of theirelement. Though very passable,,the Performance was hardly out-standing. This was the result ofboth technique and interpretation.The Zagreb Quartet handled thisdeeply Romantic piece with whollyundue stiffness and slow tempi.The opening two bars- a unisonstatement of a major motif-seemed to be played at about half-tempo and characterized the per-

formance of both the first and last-movements.At a coupel of points in the firstmovement and at the tempestuousclose of the last, the performancereally collapsed under the techni-cal demands of the music. Quiteoften there lacked th e properclarity of statement and reply be-tween instruments.

A further problem of intonationby the cellist was hard to over-look. The two middle movementswere definitely best rendered butthe performers rarely achievedthe serenity and gentleness re-quired in much of the secondmovement. Technique was rarelya problem though more feelingand flexibility were certaly need-ed. The third movemnent cameacross quite well, though it, too,needed more spirit.

'Lyric quartet a highlfghtAfter intermission things turned

sharply to 'the better in JosephSlavenski's "Lyric Quartet," com-posed in 1928. The presence inthis work of the very things theSchubert performance lacked wasbaffling. The first movement,based upon several folk themes,was done with a beautiul, richtone. Though the tempo stillseemed a bit slow, this movementwas far better presented than theSchubert. The musicians seemedto be at home with the music andplayed it with greater flexibility.The second movement, particular-ly its first half, was played withan unusual depth of feeling; itis too bad that the remainder ofit and the final movement werenot as successfully handled.

Krystof Penderecki's "StringQuartet" followed and reallychanged the pace of things. Thisvery modern work varied in soumdfrom quiet screeches, to Africandrum rhythms, to the din of anoisy city street. Rhythi was themain ingredient here and the Za-greb Quartet mustered the neces-sary agility for the work, The

audience enjoyed this piece, butI personally question the value ofthe composition.

Jarnovie weEll performedThe concext ended well- with

possibly the best performed work,Ivan Mane Jarnovic's "Concert-ante Quartet in F Major." Boththe composer and compositionwvere new to the reviewer andmust date from the late ClassicalPeriod, perhaps 1800. The first

Friday, Nov. 3

movement was especially reminis-cent of Haydn. In thi piece, theperformers let down their earlierrestraints on tempo and renderedan invigorating performance. Ii-tonation was occasionally weak,but was entirely made up for bythe vigor and freshness of the per-formance. The final movemxentwas particularly well treated -very fluently - with an excellenttone.

IThe balloons seen this week in the lobby of

Building 7 are part of the Haacke sculpture exhibitin the Hayden Gallery. They are an outgrowth ofHaacke's desire to float a large weather balloon inthe dome.

A 30-foat balloon was launched Tuesday, Oct. 24in the Rodgers Bldg., but the cord securing it to thetop of the building snapped and the balloon de-veloped a hole. Rather than wait a month for areplacement, Haacke approved the smaller bal-loons.

The exhibit now consists of four six-foot balloonssupported by large fans in white enclosures. Thereare however, occasionally fewer than four, be-cause, according to Marietta Millet, AdministrativeAssistant to the Committee on Visual -Arts, of thevarious means of bursting weather balloons thatMIT students have developedL

For those who haven't taken 8.01, the balloonsare kept up by an application of Bernoulli's prin-ciple. The air in the slipstream, because it is mov-ing faster than the static air, causes a drop inpressure. If the balloon moves to one side, theDressure differential forces it back into the low-pressure airstream.

Pass-Fail has become a mnajorinnovation among college cam-puses, especially for the upper-class years, but there are stillrelatively few schools which havea crmplete freshmen year pass-fail. Colleges as different as Prin-ceton and Parmona State (Calif.)have inaugurated the system, aswell as Goddard College, whichhas nor grades whatsoever. But,much of the impetus at MrrIT forpass-fail must be attributed toCaltech.

Three years ago the CaliforniaInstitue of Technology began a

MIT's California cousin keptdetailed records of each student'sprogress and compared overaLachievement amng, classes withand without pass-fail. In general,they observed that the advisorsystem at the school had to beseriously modified to provide ex-tra needed guidance. Previously,the Caltech advisors were moreor less informal, often times onlytutors. A stronger system morelike MIT's was developed.

The most encouraging result ofthe experiment revealed that thefreshman having gone a year passfail weer actually better preparedfor the sophomore year, and out-performed previous classes. Theonly exception to this was in ma-

two year experimental program thematics where a distinct ill-eliminating freshman year grades preparation was evident. Thefrom the permanent record butotherwise keeping the quiz sys-tem intact.

study concluded, however, thatthe math course was just notstimulating enough to invite stu-dents to work very hard, and thedepartment eventually changedits freshmen course. Currentlyeveryone is satisfied with mathe-matics performance above thefreshman year.

In; the fall of 196, Dean Grayaddressed a joint meeting of theCEP and SCEP at which time heinformally proposed that fresh-men grades be wiped off the re-cord. SCEP conducted an infor-mal poll among freshmen soonafterward and found the majoritydid not approve of this idea. Theresults were sent to the CEP andDean Gray, and SCEP did notissue a report any further on thematter.

Later that year the faculty wasexcited by the senior pass-failideas, eventually passing the pro-gram in time for second term1967.

The freshman issue remaineddormant until Prof. Rosenblithwas elected the new Chairmanof the Faculty (ex-officio Chair-man of CEP). Dean Gray, the

freshmen advisors, and Prof. Ros-enblith decided not to get overlyinvolved in the problem sincethe school year was drawing toa close. Instead, over this pastsummer there were discussionson the matter. Mark Spitzer '68,SCEP Chairman, remained inBoston and spoke with Prof. Ros-enblith about the issues.

Early this term the CEP be-gan serious discussion with in-tendtions of coming to a decision.The faculty has not turned down aCEP proposal since 1964 whenmajor curriculum changes touch-ed off considerable debate. It isexpected that CEP proposal willalso initiate much debate, butsome administration and facultybelieve a final decision is possibleby the end of December.

Three basic commands.a: After the preliminary log-in pro-, cedures, the TIP programmern uses three basic commands:> SEARCH, FEND, and OUTPUT.> The search command may be0 varied to involve the entire litera-Z ture in store, the last volume of>- a given journal, a particular vol-< ume, or a range of volumes. Theat program will search as specified

and detect any item described< under the FIND command, which,

itself, has a variety of possibili-ties. The program may call forthe computer to find all articles

I written by a certain author, con-taining a certain vital word intheir title, published at a certain

LU location, or cited in certain otheri-F reviewvs or journals.

The OUTPUT commands selectsone or more of the various optionsavailabel for output. One may callfor immediate PRINT, a COUNTof the items found, or for the com-puter to STORE the results undera file name to be called for later.

Several special programs are in-corporated into the basic TIPstructure. Ore such feature is asimplified procedure to compilecita+ion indices or citation invern-

tories. A set of programs hasbeen developed under the generalname of SHARE in which one mayname an article and ask thatother articles be found that sharesome element with it. One of themost interesting features of theccftrnm ic +h fh or n..ier mayprint out an actual message ad-dressed and ready for mailing toa user who requested certain in-formation.

The facilities of Project' TIPhave already been used to com-pile systemized catalogs of thejournals in the VIT libraries. Oneof the goals of the system is tohave this service be performed ona regional basis.

The possibilities of P r o j e c tTIP for assisting in the complexproblems of cataloging and relat-ed disciplines are obviously great.

One of the people facing thisquestion is Dick Hood '70, presi-dent of the club and de facto teamcaptain. He was, along with PeteAmstutz '67, one of the outstand-ing gymnasts on the squad lastseason. According to Hood, theAthletic Association is still unde-cided on what to do about gym-nasticS.

However, Hood seems to feelthat there will be some lind ofrecognition for the athletes whocompeted in the Easterns. Accord-ing to him, one of the hfeslsmenwho looks to be a three-event manis Ken Gerber. However, thisyear's turnout of seven frosh in-dicates that the club still has roomto grow.

Jim Yankaskas '69, AA secre-tary, feels that the matter of thegymnastics club has high priorityon the AA agenda. Chances of theteam's attaining varsity statusare still indeterminate, however,there will be some form of recog-nition for those who do compete.This would be a precedent forclubs attaining varsity status.

Last year, the gymarmstics teamposted a 4-2 record, losing onlyto Yale and Coast Guard. Thisyear's record should be as good orbetter. There have been quite afew gymnasts who have workedwith the team for four years andhad nothing but satisfaction toshow for it.

Action on this matter shouldbe taken by the Athletic Associa-tion as soon as possible, with thehope that MIT will be able to addits 20th varsity sport before theend of this year.

As the winter sports season ap-proaches, the question facing sev-eral people in the Athletic Depart-ment and the- Athletic Associationis whether or not MIT will field avarsity gymnastics team this year.

At the moment, gymnasitcs ex-ists only as a club sport, but hasbeen engaging in intercollegiatecompetition for the last few yearswith both varisty and club teamsfrom New England schools.

__l·~a~.~s~s~ca~am-.... I

Currently, the squad is structuremore as a varsity sport than as aclub. This year, for the first time,there is a coach whose only jobis to coach gymnastics. CoachBruce Wright is running the clubas a regular varsity sport, Nith-daily workouts and a schedule.Incidentally, 'this includes suchteams as Dartmouth, Yale, andCoast Guard-all formidable op.ponents for a club.

By Joel HlemmelsteinThe intramural football all-star

team was announced this weekwith champion Sigma Alpha Ep-silon and runner-up Beta ThetaPi monopolizing the positions.

Center-- Bruce Lautenschlager'70 of the Betas. Big, strong, Lau-tenschlager plugged the middlefor ther hrst line in the leasue.

Guards-George Hustak '69 andWendell Iverson '69. Hustak pro-vided the inspiration for a Deltline depleted by graduation. Iver-son formed a powverful link in theBeta line.

Ends--Jim- Cormier '68 (BTP),Alex Wilson '67 (Bur), . and DonRutherford '67 (sAE). All threeshowed good speed, reflexes andmoves,-a situation which makeschoosing two out of the three al-most impossible.

Flanker-Tom Chen '68 and Min-ot Cleveland '71. A real toss-uphere since both receivers weremainstays of their respective Betaand Saelor offenses.

Iresh . t q

Blocking back-Rick Young '68,Young, injured for the champion-ship clash, was more than a mereblocking back, as he added-a run-ning threat and fourth Beta re-ceiver. Young barely edged TerryBennett '70 of SAE who was afaultless blocker throughout theseason.

'rkUiLBtetl lIJdtC - LII W.C WV

'70, the unanimous choice. Wheel-er, engineered the SAE's all theway to the title wvith his super-scrambling and reliable arm.

Defensive teamMiddle guard-Wilson '67. Again

Wilson cops the honors thanks tohis performance on Burton's frontfine. Big Alex had all the equip>ment in his 6'5', 230 pound frame.

Right End-Bob O'DTnnell '66.This Beta alumnus enabled theBetas -to hold all oponents to amiirr/il ground game.

Left End-Iverson '69. Makingthe "dream team" on both sides,Iverson, teamed with O'Donnell

during the regular season to make._a formidable forward wall

Wyatt, Davis at linebackerLinebackers-Bob Wyatt '68 and

Chris Davis '69. Wyatt doubled asa- defensive lineman for the Detsand was a terror to block for anylineman in the league. Davis, onthe other hand, was a tremendousball hawk and grabbed many in-terceptions for the SAE's this sea-son.

Safeties-Rutherford '67, Chen'68, Jack Anderson '69, and Cleve-land . The eight-man defensiveteam calls for only three, but thecapabilities of-these four cannotbe denied. Rutherford, Cleveland,and Anderson are the startirgthree for the champion SAE squadand a' vital reason for the success-and a vital reason for the successtheir defense that remained un-scored upon all year. Chen de-serves special notice because ofhis ability to play excellently anyposition on the field, offensivelyor defensively.

Championship

Good control and tight defense have begun toprovide the soccer squad with some good contestsas they racked up their third win against PhillipsExeter. Monday, the squad lost a hard-fought bat-tle to Brown, the previous New England champion,by the score of 2-0.

In each of the games, the engineers showed anew determination. And the defense has shown anew aggressiveness, partly due to the spirit andleadership provided by fullback Al Levin. Leinhas come up with several good plays including acouple of excellent saves against Exeter, leadingto a -l win for the engineers.

Maskiewiez scores lone goalThe only goal of the game was scored in the

opening seconds of the first quarter when KennyLord .took a corner shot and sent it perfectly intothe middle of the penalty box. After a slight pause,Gerry Masldewicz came out with the ball, turned,and sent a sizzling shot into the nets.

The rest of the game was dominated by Tech.The home squad made several shots that justmissed, while the visitors were slow 'in gettingoff many decent shots.

Credit must be given to Dave Peterson andEFddie Sofair for fine jobs on both defense andoffense. The squad now looks like a trie team
