Before joining the NSF, McBayspent 20 years at Spellman Col'lege in Atlanta, one of the onlytwo -colleges for black women inthe USA. She served there asProfessor -of Mathematics,Natural Science DepartmentHead and finally AssociateAcademic Dean.

The Dean Search was set backthis October when a list of cansdidates submitted by the SearchAdvisory Committee after screen-ing over 300 applicants was re-jected. Simonides confirmed that.Mc~ay was not considered bythat committee, and asserted thather name did not surface untilshortly after that decision. The'subsequent offer was delayed un-til now because M~cBay wasreportedly not originally in-terested in the job.

Simnonides said he was "'ex-trernelys happy to-be able. to saythat all of the characteristics of

*-the job and the candidates set outat the start of the process will besatisfied with this appointmnent."

;Referring to the length of theIselection process, Simnonides said

he has no "'second thoughts.

stitute as a whole - for example,the relation of the Placement Of-fice to the Deans' Office. She alsoexpressed a desire to look moreclosely at relations between thefaculty and the Deans' Office.

It appears likely McBay willplace special emphasis on theDSA's programs for women,minorities and graduate students.Assistant Dean Robert Randolphsaid McBay was unwilling to setout any priorities before knowingmore about the office. He co-m-mented, however, that because ofher previous interests in womenand minorities one can assuie-t-hese issues will be addressed. Hdeadded, though, that the"handwriting is on the wall" forincreased attention to the necds ofgraduate students, women andminorities and that "all three areobviously concerns of the Deans'Office in the future anyway."

McBay received high praisefromr various members of theDeans' Office. When askedwhether the arrival of the newDean would disrupt the function-ing of the individual sections ofthe Deans' Office, one stafferstated, "Change always producesanxiety. But after the initialmeeting [with' Mclay] that anx-

By Steven SolnickThe search for a new Dean for

Student Affairs (DSA), touchedoff by the resignation of CarolaEisenberg almost 17 months ago,is finally over.

The' position was offered lastweek to Shirley McBay, currentlya member of-the Science Educa-tion Directorate of the NationalScience Foundation. Mcga'y, ablack woman,, has been with theNSF -since 1975 and is nowProgram Director of efforts toprovide access to science educa-tion for minorities.

Vice-President ConstantineSimonides, who led the recentreorganization of the Deans' Of-fice and, oversaw the arduous.search for a new Deanl, stated hewas "very, very delighted by thechoice". He said, "Judging fromher reaction to the people she metwhile on campus [last week] I amconfident she will accept the posi-tion and be the new Dean."

Mclay met with selected stu-dents, faculty and administrationlast week in a 36-hour visit to thecampus. It appeared highlyprobable in these meetings, thatMcBay would accept the postafter consulting with her NSFsupervisors. Simonlides hop'ed fora -formal -announcement by theend of the monthe and expectedMcBay could start by mnid-April.

During her visit, McBay metwith about 12 graduate and-un-dergraduate students and discus-sed -her observations about themajor concerns the new Dean willface. She cited a need for coor-dination amnong all the varied stu-dent services and a better defini-tion of their relation to the In-

week ago. Graham remains inCarnbridge Hospital in fair condi-tion. Colosimo was buried Fri-day.

Since the incident, school of-ficials have met with students andparents in an-attempt to-avertmore violence. Saturday, 16 stu-dents met f~r r0or re' than six hoursat M IT to discuss ways of reliev-ing the tension. -

Some of their recommenda-tions include the formation of a-"united student union" at theschool to represent "all black,white and bilingual students,"and the exposure of elementaryschool students to programs tohelp them learn about differentiraces.

By Laura FarbieApproximately 100 MIT stu-

dents are learning the strategy ofconsistently winning at Blackjackin the IAP course entitled: "Howto Get $2,000 from a Hotel orCasino on Boardwalk." I

"When the casinos decided toput in Blackjack as a sure money-maker they really goofed," at-tested one accomplished gambler.."With the strategy we are-teaching the students are likely tobeat the house consistently."

The organizers of the gamblingcourse, Roger Demaree '81 and

James Massar '78, explain thatBlackjack is unique in that it isthe only casino game that can bebeaten exclusive of luck. '"Ingames such as Roulette,' thechance of the ball falling on a cer-tain number is independent of-what happened the time before,"they explain. "However, sinceBlackjack i nvolves six full decksof cards, the chance of a card witha certain value appearing isdirectly dependent on how manyof those cards were dealt inprevious hands."

The students in the course havealready memorized a sheet ofpaper with the computer-designedand tested winning strategy. It isbasically a chart which tells onewhat to do with every possiblecard combination matchedagainst a dealer's hand. Massarclaims that while a person with noknowledge of this strategy loses,on the average, between four andten cents on each dollar bet, aperson who has mastered thisstrategy breaks' even with thedealer.

Atlantic City is preferred as agambling resort by MIT studentsfor a number of reasons. Theyclaim that the odds of winningBlackjack under their strategy arethe best at Atlantic City for anumber of reasons. They claimthat the odds of winning Black-jack under their strategy are thebest at Atlantic City. The area iscloser to most. students'residences than is Nevada and thelegal gambling age in New Jerseyis eighteen. Furthermore, AtlanticCity is regulated strictly bay theNew Jersey regulating commis-sion, so one is not as likely to bethrown out of the Casinoswithout reason as in Las Vegas.

The main reason why the card-counting students prefer AtlanticCity, however, is because they arenot as likely to get caught.D~eraree stated, "bThe Casinosare beginning, and th~ey're-in-coImpetetil. Evenl .it' solieonle is

Deemaree and Massar areteaching this course by their ownchoosing and sometimes wonderwhether they. might be "robbingtheir -own nest" by impartinggambling strategy. However, theyfind teaching the course . "fun"'and they are becoming moreadept at card-counting in theprocess. The two also hope to findstudents in this course eager toplay Blackjack with them inAtlantic City.

The obv ious setback ofstrategic gambling, the leaders ofthe course admit, is that if card-counters are caught in a Casinlothey are thrown out and orderednever to come back. To thispolicy, Massaur is bitterly op-posed: '"Why should I be refusedLa seat at it Blackjack table becausei can performl some trivial func-tions with mny mind, aneymorethan I should be refused a seat if Iwere black or female'?"

And then there were none. No papers, problenzsets, finals all gone. So, I wrapped the few presentsI'd bought, did enough laundry to convince myparen~ts that I wasn't a total slob, and headed-forhorne. Back to the real world.

Well, guess what'> The real world hzas its problems.The first one i encountered was that of sleep. Outtherec it starts before 4am and ends before sundown.I hald sort of figured that I would have to wake upwhile it was still light out, and I knew I could adjust.to tha;t. But waking up before noon? That's morning;thalt's when youi're supposed to go to sleep.

Another problem was commnunication. They sayyou can't geo home again. Sulre you can -but no onewill -understand you. I've significantlyy cut down onrely usee ofs'"trivial," "random" and "iinfinite" sincelast year, but it wasn't enough. In the real world theydon't use "eorders of magnitude" either. And nlo oneunderstood what flaming or being greasy was. Howprimlitive can you get'?

Another real hassle was just getting around. Thereis no "'T" in East Hanover, New Jersey, and aboutthe only thing within walking distance of my house isthe supecrllarket. You even have to drive to the buls-stop, My younger brother had become accustomedlo using the car and wasn't about to change hishabits. Besides, I don't particularly like to drive; Ihalve no depth perception, which makes deriving quiteal challenge. For years -I parallel parked a car byrbouncing the tires off the curb.

Shopping for clothes was no great jory either. Ial5wtys wslit until I go home to replace the hopelesscases -that way my folks foot the bill. I was shockedbv the clothes i saw-ltrly The colors werebrig~ht enough to ca;use permanent retinal darxage.A ftee ca;rel ully euxamining a wide assortment off~ashions ill time green, hot pink and bright purple, Ideicided that I hald no desire to look like- a walkingbox of Davy-Glo crayons. So, I settled for a plain ol'

pair of denirriJeans.

Little did I know that I bad committed a grosssocial error. My jeans had no name. How g~auche!!All socially acceptable jeans these days simply musthave names, and Levi's or Wranglers simply will notdo. Two names are better than one - Gloria Vander-bilt or Calvin Klein, for example -although Jor-dache is OK. Even1 little kids jeans have names, anidthe labels don't seem to be proportionately smaller. Iamn ser iously thinking of having little labels made forrale to sew onto my socially repugnant jeans that say''jeans''" or ma dbe "iblue jeans" so they have twoNarnnes.

The way I found that my pants were unacceptablewals by going out with my old friends from hi-gh.school .1'rnl not- sure who has changed, they or 1, butthings certainly are different fronm a couple of yearsago. O)ne thing never changes, though - it's'something mny boyfriend calls the "New JerseySyndronze." It scems that every time a group of peo-pxle from the oft-mnaligned state get together and onestarts mnentioning friends, from school or wherever,solneone else in the group invariable knows somze or;1ll of' the people in question, or their mother orcousiin or dog Fide. This drives my boyfriend ab-solutely crazy. I always though it was perfectly nor-rn~al, having grown up with it, but recently I noticedthat it did not seem to -be as true with people fromtother s~tates. I allwalys knew that New Jersey was uni-que.

School0 3 pirit canhat ragmenta.tion

Over thie past year, putting an end to the "fragnientation" on campushas been a hot issue. Last year, Barry Newman aired the issue at every-GA meeting. Last spring, a UAP candidate used it as the cornerstoneof his campaign. Most. recently, it has been used as partial justificationfor instituting compulsory commons.

What is "fragmentation?" Its enlemies generally define it as a lack ofcohesiveness among the student body and the low level of pride in theschcool. In short, it is the absence of school spirit.

There is no denying the existence of "fragmentation.' While studentsat other schools proudly wear "State U ." t-shirts, students at M IT wearrI HTF;P T>-shirts. While students at the nlost insignificant colleges bragabout their schools, many students here wouldn't be caught dead say-ing anything nice about MIT.

Why does MIT have this problem? The list of possible answers isloJng, Mlany students try to dissociate themselves from MIT becausethey want to escape the "Tech Tool" label many in the outside worldpin on MIT students.

Still others are probably down on MIT because of the frustration itgives them. When they come here, most students are accustomed to be-ing very successful academically. However, the"MIT systeml virtuallyguaran~tees that somne people who graduate in the top ten percent oftheir high school class will wind up in the bottom ten percent in college.This is definitely an ego-detlater and many students~blamie MIT andtake out their frustration on MIT.

zStudents are also frustrated by M IT's consumption of their itwice. Thework load at M IT is one of the heaviest in the country and students re-sent the' anzount of free time the work takes away.

MIT allso lacks a natural regional constituency which would con-tribute to a sense of school spirit, Students at state universities havesoften grown up in the area of the school and have probably gone to seethe school's football team play on weekends. They thus already have astrong allegia3nce to the school when they become students. At MIT, 90percent of' the students come from outside Massachulsetts. Sonle hadnot even h1eard or MIT until they were in high school, therefore, theyhalve no previously acqluired allegiance to the school.

All these obstacles combine to create "ifragmentation.'' Unfortunate-[y, none o)t'these obstalcles can be easily removed. Most of theni are in-herent in any school which seeks toa be anlong the'bent irk the natio~n,''lragmlentation" is thus not an easy thing to cfmmalnte..

Evell SO, students ill the past year have made sonic progress. Manygroups are strogllgy pursuing sloser contact between students and theadminlistratioxl. Through closer conltact, a better sense of cohesivenesslanai mlutual support may develop which could be the beginning Of realpride in MIT.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 16, 1980 THE-TECH PAGE 5 s'i

Scene: Baker Library, HarvardBusiness School; 3:10 pm. TheTech music critic attempts tocoerce photocopy machine intooperation without success.Digests-a nickel, remains in hiber-nation. A patiently waitingwoman points kindly at a ratherlarge button on the front of themachine. Ah! Six pages later dis-cover that have been placingsheets in the wrong place. Queueof seven people waiting to use themachine. Concert begins 3.30.

3;40pm. Still can't find SandersTheatre. Regular followers of thiscolumn (I believe there are ap-proximately two of them) mayhave realized by now that destinynever intended this music critic toactually attend a concert. Sooriginal was the nature of thegreat journal he was writing forthat his-task was to miss concerts,and write about the music he hadnot heard,

3:45pm. Having set foot in vir-tually every corner of Harvard,stumble perchance upon.SandersTheatre, a strangely shapedbuilding which appears to- havegrown from some malformedculture (I am not referring here toavant-garde music) in no par-ticular order, with no particularreason. Well naturally the concertwas sold out and wasjust-starting.Vain pleas to be allowed to standat the back. Only, one way out.Shock,.-horror, probe, scandal!The earth-shattering power, theBatman -overcoming,T5he TeckhThat voice of thunder whenpresented on pocket cardentrances all. "No sweat" says themanager, and the critic'entersupon the first movement ofProkoflev's First Symphonyl theClassical.

The orchestra 's the Pro ArteChamber of Boston, and what abeautiful, silky sound theyproduce under conductor JosephSilverstein in the Largherto. Oneis immediately aware that this is abody of refinement.

Next is Fou'r Grecian LoveSongs by Thomas McGah;mysterious pieces propelled bydistant powers. AlthoughMaryann McCabe'didn't use allthe vocal variety that might bedesired in her rendition, togetherwith the orchestra a deep coloredpicture of mood was created, evenif that color.was fixed throughoutand did not wander into adjacentdimensions. The playing ofMozart's Serenade No. 12 whichfollowed on from this soundedstrangely stunted, and then ar-rived the intermission.

Intermission concluded, an an-nouncement was made to the ef-fect that audience was not to sit inthe aisles. Critic galvanizeshimself against back wall, dropp-ing pen top which clatters withspiteful insistence to the floor.Needing a refill, remove' bottle ofink from bag. Half the bottle hasalready emptied all over the

. painfully-obtained photocopies

contained within. The other halffinds its way trickling down thecritic's arm.

The performance of Vivaldi'sThe Four Seasons is most in-teresting) with Joseph Silversteinboth conductor and soloist. Hissolo work was detailed andimpeccable and with the rest of-the crew, the earlier impression ofrefined virtuosity was once morecreated. The slow movementswere particularly'' beautiful,--wafting along some misty Vene-7tian waterway was the sensationinspired; the haze of summer wasdirectly felt, the perils of winterwere perhaps not adequatelybrought home - maybe over-refinement has led to lack of bite.As a whole this was a fascinatingand enjoyable programme; thenext concert in the series is on 17February and information can behad on 267-9060.Adission for stu-dents is only $3.

9:00rpm. Peoples Theater,Inman Square.-Box office ladythreatens critic's life and limb tin-less a good notice is-printed inThe Tech. Critic informs her thathe positively adores writing badreviews;(l am referring here to the

,subject matter of the item in ques-tion, and not to the content). In-side the auditorium are twelveother people and a dog. The dogbelongs to a blind man, andprovides added entertainment.during the show in adventuresonto the stage. The handicapped'are 'generally underprovided forin the theatre, but there is no validreason why they should be ex-cluded, so it was pleasant to seethe blind man'- smiling withpleasure during the show.Another nmember of the audiencewalked round collecting theautographs of all present. He ap-parently has 25,000 signatures on2,000 programmes. Reminds meof Willy Lomarn. But what of hislife?

The show... ah yes, well it'scalled The T and it's written by awoman bus driver. No, this is notyour opportunity to roll The, Techup into a little ball. Hangon....Geralyn Horton, having left herjob as production assistant withThe Opera Company-of Boston,by chance and pressure of un-employment found herselfengaged with the T. A seriousplaywright, she reckoned on get-ting good material out of it. Thismaterial, entered in a notebook of'interesting things that happenedto me on the job," became thecurrent play, everything in which,she emphasises, really happened.Full of verve, the result is oh sofireh,: the obvious result of per-sonal experience, lovingly, hating-ly recreated.

Six actors take part; each tak-ing on several roles, of drivers, in-spectors, passengers, recreatingscenes from life on the T. Eachcharacter thus created springs to

life as--thar type of person youhave inevitably met... oh wherewas it? The woman who doesn'tknow where to get off; the manwho doesn't know where to leaveoff annoying the driver. There is astrong current of feminismthroughout, of passengers bothmen and women disrespecting thewoman driver, and of fellow maledrivers treating her as a porcelainVase.

The matter-of-fact air of GrayKirby as the Inspector wasmarvelous. Also of note was theresigned performance of JanetCicchese as a bus driver tran-sformed into the picture of a pas-senger whose life and sorrowsbriefly enter, deeply moving -asshe states how she once thought itnothing to cross the ocean butnow finds it a struggle to cross the

The only otherteam to have more than one win-ner was Chocolate City, whichcame in third with 44.5 points.Chocolate City took thle 118 and177 lb. classes.

There were 70 wrestlers enteredin the competition, which ran sm-oothly and did not have any in-

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 198C THE TEC:H PAGE 7 ra

Aschkehawspeaksout

(Continuedfrom page 83Aschkcenase commented on a

recent developinent in the in-tramural hockey program, wherea high scorer trophy is plannedfor each league. To verify scorers,rosters and score sheets have beenchecked closely this year with there ult that from 30 percent to over50 percent of intramural teamshave been found to play with in-eligible participants, according tohigh-level intramural sources.Although the rules call forforfeits, fines, and season in-eligibilities, the widespread natureof the problem brought about achange. Teams have been given agrace period until the end of thismonth in which to adjust theirrosters. Forfeits will still apply intie games in which an ineligibleplayer skated, and in games inwhich ineligible players scoredgoals that affected the game's out-come. lHowever, no fines will belevied, and the offending playerwill still be allowed to be added totbe roster.

Aschkenase said that whatever'is best for the sport should be fol-lowed, but noted that the worthof a good goalie or. defensemanlcould not be measured by goalsscored when they prevent goalsfrom being scored. INM -hockeymanager Ricardo Sitchin '80noted that goal'scoring is in-dependent of position and that hisobligation as manager is to followthe rules and assure that theseason runs smoothly. Sitchin dis-cussed the matter with co7manager. Richard Kotoskyy · 81,.outgoing I M Chairman PeterLemme '80, and intramuralsupervisor Dave Michael.Michael added that the course ofaction was basically decidedbeforehand and that themanagers "wanted my blessing."Aschkenase added that a jointdecision was as fair a decision ascould be made in the situation.

Aschkenase also addressed theissue of the Octathon, which inhis opinion could undergo somechanges. He said that hockey,would be a good choice as theeighth Sport for the competition.In addition, ultimate frisbee willprobably have referees for nextyear's competition. As for a possi-ble entry requirement for the Oc-tathon, such as one wherby a liv-ing group must have at least fourA-league teams, Aschkenaseholds the view that every livinggroup should be able to enter ateam if they wish, regardless ofthe number of A-league teams ithas.

As for sport managers, ac-tivities such as softball 'haveheated competition for the postwhile some sports go down to thelast possible IM council meetingbefore a manager is selected.,Aschkenase added that forsomeone to take a post such assoftball manager, which involvesrunning a sport that is outdoorsand subject to the weather andhas more teams than any other in-tramural Activity, "you have tolike the sport."

team. So is Steve. In fact,everybody on the team is namedSteve. One Steve, the lounder andcaptain, explains, "I live in Baker.This September all the frosh I metwould say, 'Oh, another Steve.' Irealized it was the most commonname in the dorm. That set methinking and the idea for the teamcame to me. The name 'Bruce'was chosen over "Steve," whichwas too obvious. Also, there was-a, Monty Python skit withAustralians all called Bruce."

The team record so far is 2-3,although due to big wins andclose losses they have actuallyoutscored their opponentsoverall. The captain adds,--"Thetwo high points so far have beenthe arrival of team shirts, whichall say Steve, of course, and a 2410 win when we were coached bythe captain of the 1979 -A leaguechampions, Silvano Brewster. Wedid, however,- rename himStevano Bruceter."

By Bob HostNewly-elected Intramural

Council Chairman SteveAschkenase '81, who takes officenext month, has been seekingcontacts with other colleges con-cerning the MI{T intramural foot-ball program.

Aschkenase noted that in oneD-league football game lastseason, one player had his nosebroken, another player was limp-ing, and Aschkenase himself hada headache after the game. He ad-ded that at some schools, the in-tramural referres make a point ofexplaining how much hitting willbe allowed at the first incidence ofsuch behavior. Said Aschkenaseof similar programs at theUniversity of Massachusetts andthe University of Vermont, "Ifthey can work it out there, we can

work it out here."To counter such behavior,

Aschkenase noted that manysolutions have been offered butthat he would not consider givingthe referees the power to levyfines in a game. He speculatedthat if a referee were in a badmood one night, minor violationscould be exaggereated into situa-tions where fines would behanded out. Regarding verbalabuse of referees by players, hesaid "you'll never stop the cotm-ments (but) the comments are notthat bad." He added that it isusually the same people that com-plain, but most of the time playerson the same team restrain therecalcitrant offenders. The dif-ficulty occurs, he believes, whennobody tries to stop a potentialtroublemaker.

The more your courses approach the problems of the real world, the more you need acalculator that's already there.

These two programmable calculatorsfrom Texas Instruments can take you fromyour engineering courses right into theranks of professionals like the ones whocreated the colnplex programs to simplifyand speed up scoring at the WinterOlympics.The TI Programmable 58C lets you spendyour time learning concepts instead ofworking problems. $130V.Perhaps your current calculator cansolve advanced engineering problems, butyou'll probably spend a lot of time doing it.With the TI-58C's 480 program steps or upto 60 memories, plus 170 keyboard func-tions and operations, you'll be amazed atJust how much of the work the TI5C %illdo for you.

The TI-58C has a Constant Memory"Mfeature that lets you lock a program in themachine even when it's turned off. Youcan program the calculator as you learn inclass and use it later to review the conceptand work the problems. You can store re-sults or data in the calculator, even if youturn it off, for later use.

The TI-58C ayill seem like more than acalculator -its computer-like capabilitieslet you design your own programs or useTexas Instruments unique plug-in SoledState Software"w modules with ready-to-

use programs. A Master Library module(included with the calculator) has 25 basicprograms in math-, statistics, and otherareas of general interest. Twelve optionallibrary modules-include programs on ap-plied statistics, advanced mathematicalroutines, electrical engineering, businessdecisions, and much more.

With all of its capabilities and functionsthe TI-58C is simple to operate using TI'sAOS" algebraic operating system. TheAOS entry system lets you enter problemsthe way they are written - from left toright -and handles up to 9 levels of paren-thews in accordance with the rules of alge-braic hierarchy.

YN1th the TI-58C you'dl also get a copy ofPersonal. Progrant-ini~i~ng, an ownerlsmanual that'll helpget you started inprogramming -even if you've neverprogrammed before.The TI Program-mable 9 go'es fromengineering to the _Winter 1OMlpics.$3 * - IThe reason theWimter Olympics chiose the TI-59 for ver-U.Ning scoring resultsat many events is thesamne reason it can help,you get all you canfrom your courses -svervility.

Up to 960 program steps or up to 100memories plus 4 types of display testing,10 user flags, 72 labels, and 6 levels ofsubroutines let the power of program-ming help you make short work of com-plex problems.

Even with all the 175 keyboard functionsand operations at your command, the TI-59responds to simple ADS algebraic entrysystem control. So the calculator becomespart of the solution - not part of theproblem.

The TI-59 uses Texas Instruments SolidState Software modules and comes withthe Master Library module. You also getthe added versatility and capability ofmagnetic cards to record your own pro-grams. With them you can also tie into pro-grams on modules for extendedprogramming routines.

You'll get a copy of Pmwall Program-ming with your new TI-59 that'll help youget all the pow er we put into it. And thebook can start you programming even ifyou've never tried it before.

If you're starting on the way to a careerin engineering get a calculator that'll helpyou get there. AAnd get one that'll continueto servpe you well on the job.
