STS plansBy Jerri-Ly'nn Scofield

Beginning next fall, theProgram in Science, Technology,and Society (STS) will begin anexperimental undergraduate dou-ble degree program between thehumanties department and six ofthe eight engineering depart-ments, according to STS headProfessor Carl Kaysen.

'We're not limiting theprogram to the engineeringschool, we're starting with it,"Kavsen explained. The dualdegree program "fits, morenaturally in the engineeringschool," he noted. Kaysen saidthe distinction between engineer-ing and science at M IT issornewhat artificial, but he in-dicated "scientists are essentiallyoriented toward science and nottoward the rest of the world."

"It is perfectly possible to dothis alongside of a sciencedegree," commented assistantSTS director Peter S. Buck. Henoted that there will be threebasic varients for the newprogram: history ofScience history of technology:

(,SC) is raising funds from col-lcges and universities across thenation to put a full-page adver-tisement in The New York Timesdecrying the proposed cuts inFederal Student financial aid.

A full page in the Times willcost $22,000. The GSC receivedpledges for about $12,000 duringSpring Break from calls to over100 colleges, according to NoweIl.I!. the GSC does not receive byApril 15th money to pay for theaidvertisement, the checks will bereturned.

The Alumni Associationdonated its telephone lines for theGSC, noted Noweil.- About 15students are doing 'most of thecalling.

'The Reagan tactic is to splitthe constituency," by eliminatingonly graduate student loans in itsproposed budget said Nowell. Ifthe graduate cuts go through,further reducitons in un-dergraduate funding could beproposed for the future. Despitethe possibility Congress will rein-state the present cuts, futurereductions could be planned.

Most college student councilscontacted were interested in theendevor, said Nowell. "We'vebeen getting some flak from Har-vard . . . They claim to be broke,"he added.

The GSC has not contacted the

UA about contributing. The GSCdonated $500.

GSC is asking student councilsFrom colleges with less than 10,0-00 students to donate $500, col-leges with between I0,000 and20,000 students to donate $750,.and colleges with more than20,000 students to donate $1000.Coleges contributing $200 will belisted in the advertisement.

Although organized by theGSC, the advertisement will besupported by both un-dergraduates and graduates.

The fund drive could also setup "a network of contacts" forfuture political action, addedNowell. Such work might notnecessarily be endorsed by theGSC.

Energy expenses are 5.2 percentof dormitory operating costs, ac-cording to George Hartwell, As-sistant Director of Housing andFood Services. Efforts have beenmade to decrease heating costs, hesaid, by "steam heat is difficult tocontrol in old dormitories."

MIT decided to raise present

By Laura FarhieMeal plan costs for the' 1982 -

83 academic year will increase ap-proximately 13.5 per cent. Alldormitory room rents will rise by;a Ilat $196, an average increase ofl1 per cent.

The II percent average roomrent increase includes an 8.8 per-cent increase in operating costsatnd 2.2 percent for a fund for

rents al flat $98 per term instead ofan 11 percent increase over thepresent value of each house.

"When you raise rents by 11percent, then the higher and lowerrents go up at different ratios andgel further and further apart," ex-plained Hartwell. "We want tobring the rents in line."

Fewer students are using corn-mons dining halls than an-ticipalted driving up food servicecosts, according to Hartwell."More and more students are us-ing a la carte [eating places], suchas Walker, Lobdell, and snackbars," said Hartwell.

He claimed the increase in mealplan costs will help compensate-for the fewer-than-expectednumber Of students using com-mons dining halls.

Increases in food prices and theincrease in dining worker'ssalaries contributed to the rise inmeal costs, said Coordinator ofDining and Residence ProgramsAnita T. Walton.

The minimum meal plan re-quirement for East Campus andSenior House residents has notyet been set.

Pass/fai-lBy Sam Cable

The Committee on EducationalPolicy [CEPI is consideringchanges to the current freshmanpass/fail grading system, ac-cording to student CEP memberJames Taylor '84 .

The most recent proposal un-der consideration by the CEP wasmade by Professor Arthur P.Mattuck and other facultymembers. Mattuck is not amember of the CEP.

The proposal calls for replacingfreshman evaluation forms withregular grade reports instead ofthe pass/fail reports now issued,said Mattuck. Under thisproposal, all grades earnedfreshman year would be for inter-nal use only and would disappearafter one semester. They wouldappear on subsequent gradereports as merely pass or fail.

'Less than 40% of all freshmenturn in end-of-term evaluationforms, according to Taylor. Mat-tuck said that under the proposal,mid-semester evaluations wouldbe used for everyone but there isstill question about use of end-of-term evaluation forms.

Mattuck said this proposalrepresents a compromise betweenfaculty members who wish to.abolish pass/fail and those who

political economy; and ageneralized view of science andtechnology.

To attract students to therigorous double degree program,

'STS will hold an open house.They will also revamp-their cur-riculum, according to Buck.

Kaysen, indicated the newdegree program will be directed toa select group of outstanding stu-dents. Kaysen said 60 to 70 stu-dents presently earn doubledegrees each year; these studentswill comprise STS' primary-audience. "In the past, there havebeen a fair number of them whospan a technical subject and asocial science subject."

Kaysen noted the Committeeon Curricula deliberated on andaccepted the double degreeproposal at the beginning of; March. The proposal was "ap-proved and reported to thefaculty," Kaysen said.

Buck declared the new STSdegree program will be successfulif "ten years down the road peo-ple would say the most interesting

engineers coming out of MIT arethe small number coming out ofthat funny program with the dou-ble degree."

Kaysen said "If we're succes-sful with this small group of first-class students, we'll get our col-leagues to realize our status."

Course-enrollments in the STSprogram are "modest but in-creasing," Buck said.

Kaysen noted, "Enrollmentsare up, faculty morale is high."Buck added, "Rumnors of ourimpending death are premature."

TE P to considerwish to keep the system exactly asIt is.

Taylor said that there is not"much of a chance" that pass/fail-wili be abolished. The past fewCEP discussions have been con-cerned with "tightening up" thepass/fail system, he said.

Taylor and Mattuck both in-dicated that there was some con-cern over how freshman gradeswould be used under theproposed system. Mattuck saidthat there was some controversyover whether departments wouldhave the right to prevent studentsfrorn taking departmental classesbecause of D's received infreshman classes. "In my opinionthis would be totally un-workable," Mattuck said.

Taylor also said that concernexists on the effect freshmangrades would have on competi-tion between students.

Mattuch encourages all stu-dents who have strong opinionson pass/fail to voice their posi-tions to the CEP.

Taylor said the CEP is trying tomake freshmen more aware ofgrades. Mattuck said the mainpurpose for freshman gradeswould be to advise freshmen onhow to plan the second term totheir freshman year and the firstterm of their sophomore year.

The CEP will have a finalproposal to submit to the facultyby the end of the term, said CEPchairman Professor Felix M.H.Villars. It is unlikely, he said, thatthe CEP will have a proposal forthe April 15 faculty meeting butthe committee will probably havesomething by May.

"We want to make sure thateveryone who has a stake in thishas a chance to voice hisopinion," Villers said.

The 180 institutions thatresponded said that over a threeyear period beginning in 1978 -79, 3467 Chinese students andscholars had come to the UnitedStates. This total included 399 un-dergraduates, 656 graduate stu-dents,. and 1945 "visitingscholars." These people areprofessors and scientists fromChina who came to the UnitedStates for what amounted to post-doctoral study.- The remaining467 people were classified as"'other."

By Kenneth SnowAccording to a report from the

US - China EducationCiearinghouse in WashingtonDC, Chinese officials have saidthat the pool Of students andscholars who need to study in theUS has begun to shrink and thatthey want to limit the number ofnew students and scholars toabout 500 a year. By mid 1981there were about 6,000 studentsfrom China studying at AmericanColleges and Universities.

The report stated that theCultural Revolution produced alarge number of students needingto go to American Universities assoon as exchanges became possi-ble. "For a variety of reasons -including assignment to jobs, im-position of more stringent agelimits, and the fact that many ofthe best candidates from thisgroup have already been sentabroad - this pool is beingdepleted rapidly." -

The report notes that eventual-ly graduates from China's newlyrigorous universities will con-stitute a new, high quality pool ofpotential tipplicants to attendgraduate programs at AmericanUniversities. The report con-cludes, "the total number will besmaller from year to year."

In preparing the report on theStatus of these students, 'the

emnbassy in Peking and byAmerican consulates in Shanghaiand Guangzhou.

The report notes that 3467 isonly 58 percent of the 6000reported by the State Depart-ment, even though most schoolsknown to have a large number ofChinese nationals responded tothe questionaire, MIT did res-pond.

The report suggested manyreasons for the discrepancy.These included too high aq es-timate by the State Department.Many students who receive visasdo not come to the US. Theremaining 2500 students are dis-tributed among more institutionsthan the list compiled by theClearinghouse. Also, many morestudents from China come to theUS than US students going toChina. The report adds that strictn umerical equivalence is not andshould not be a factor shaping ex-changes.

The Baker Foundation

On. August 30, 1950, Dean of Students EverettMoore Baker was killed in an airplane crash whilereturning from a meeting of the International StudentService Organization in Bombay. Dean Baker was astaunch protagonist for the consideration of humanbeings as individuals, a vigorous proponent of a broadeducational policy. a dynamic extracurricular program,and a congenial physical and intellectual environmentat MIT. and an ardent worker toward friendly relationsamong the peoples of all nations. In 1950-51,members of the MIT community - primarily students- contributed over $15.000 to establish a founda-tion to perpetuate Dean Baker's memory and advancehis ideals and objectives.

The Baker Award

The Everett Moore Baker Memorial Award for Excel-

lence in Undergraduate Teaching was first presented

twenty years ago, to recognize and encourage excep-

tional interest and ability in the instruction of un-

dergraduates. The award is given to young faculty

members, below the rank of full professor, who have

demonstrated that they are truly interested in un-

dergraduates, both in and out of the classroom. Past

winners of the Baker Award include Alan J. Lazarus.

For many months now thefaculty has ~been debating aproposed writing requirement.Basically, this requirement wouldhelp insure a certain level ofliteracy that all students shouldmeet in order to excell in theirchosen profession. But the ques-tion has to be, "Why Just awriting requirement?"

Sure, I know what you're allgoing to say. "in today's world itis becoming increasingly impor-tant to bse able to communicatecoherently with other, people."And despite the advances mpade inelectronic communicationswhereby you can talk directly toanyone anywhere at anytime aperson still 1a~as to be able to write.After all, one of the things thatmade civilization possible was theability to write down ideans andhistories and so save them forfuture generations. Is that any lessimnportan~t today?

No, it is not. Perhaps it is evenmore imperative that we work tokeep our descendents from. mnak-ing the same mistakes we'vemade. But you can't compare aNeanderthal man rubbing blood-smeared fingers on the wall of hiscave with today's method of newsdissemination. Things are a bitmore comaplicated now.

It is no longer enough to com-municate something, anytthing,coherently. You have to knowwhat to say. And you also have toknow the proper "language'. in'

Such a reassessi-ent is indeed a. tremendous undertaking. Theva~riables involved are difficult to represent as numbers. TheEa.st side· of ccampus has the advantagee of' being close to clarssesrind the subway, while: West campus is closer to the athleticI'acilities. The financial advantage of' one over the other is verydifficult- to conmputer

Still, the complexity of the problem is no justification for ig-noring it. Student Committee evaluations of each dormitory aswell as investigation of' the eff'ects of' houosing prices on roomselection is long overdue. The difficulty of'reevaluation does notrustilyi perpetuating a practice that is outdated and unfa~ir.

Recently, a black student elected to a class office recieved a~threartening let-ter which was "racist in tone," according toPolice Chiiel'Olivieri. The incident demonstrates an importantI'lact which most MIT students would like to ignore: racism, inboth crude and subtle forms, exists on campus.

Racism is usually quiescent in the day-to-day interactions of'MI1T students-, it is rarely visible, and its most blatant occurencesare alnonymous. Allegations of racism, ·as in the Gjrogo incidentseveral years ago, may seem overdrawn to the majority of theMIT community.

Racial incidents have precipitated major strains amoung stu-dents on other campuses. It would-be a tragedy iflhidden racialprobleins at MIT were to cause major unexpected strainsbetween diflferent parts of the student body.

To reduce the tensions at MIT, potentially racist incidentsshould be revealed and discussedd throughout the community. Atthe: same tirne, one should not unnecessarily label public deci-sions of student government or the Instituete "ralci~st," Cor suchrhetoric distracts from the thornier hidden problem.

Sociarl groups on, the MIT campus tend to be very closed Handurncornlnunicative. MIT 's distended naiturfe contributes to theproblein of racisni, both hidden and apparent. Students and theDean for Student Affarirs OfTfice should try to increase the linesof'-comlmunication between students. As long as MWIT studentscann easily ignore each other's probleins and lives, racism will ex-ist Oil campus.

I I

which to say it. This is no smalltask. To do it properly a personshould know something of psy-chology (i~e. what makes peopletick) and political science (i~e. thepower structure on which a largepart of this world is based).

Take, for instance, a personlike _myself who is studyingAeronautical/AstronauticalEngineering. It is becoming in-creasingly difficult to pry fundingfrom people for space researchthese days.-So, if I were writing toor speaking before some groupfrom which I hoped to get moneyI would want every advantage Icould get. This would include be-ing able to predict their reactionsboth as people and as politicians.So a good case could be made fora basic understanding of psy-chology and political science.And my department is not theonly department which couldbenefit frorp this training.

But why stop here? Why notbasic computer science? After all,in a few years thaere'll bse one inevery home (one what? If youdon't know crawl back underyour rock). Or how about theDepartment of Economics? We~have to be able to deal with theReagan budget somehow. Or howabout nuclear engineering? Noone can say that an understandingof nuclear physics as applied toboth reactors and bombs wouldhurt at this time in history.

Let's stop and take stock of

of your textbooks and have somefun. In honor of our coronation,everyone should have a good timethis weekend and punt a fewproblem sets.

We are resigned to destroyingour grade point averages and our

health to serve the M IT studentbody. If anyone wants to join ourquest for real student govenment.just call us.

To the Editor:I am concerned about several

staternents made in the March 19article, "Record Number Admit-ted to Class of '86." 1 am referringspeci fically to the fact that theprojected size of the Class of 1986is to be 1075 to I 100 students in-stead of the past target (and op-tinial level) of 1050.

1 realize that twenty-five to fiftystudents does not appear to bestatistically significa~nt whene firstanailyzing admissions, however,when that number translates toactual. bodies in 26-100 during aphysics lecture, then an extra 25to SO students make a big dif-ference.

Just because MIT' has added a1new dormitory and can hOLIse r1larger undergraduate populationdoes not mean that it has thecapacity to educate more stu-dents.

I would like the admissions of-fice to explain to next year'sfreshmen why 83.01 will be muchmore crowded (and louder) thanin previous years and to explainto the Class of '86 why 5.3 10 ind6.002 will be even fuller.

Wbithout adding professors.classroom space, and lab space.MIT is not justified in admittingmore students than in the' past.

Silent Rage, produced baa Anthonj, B.Unger and Topkick Studios, directed by,Michhael Miller, starring Chuck Norris.

After just five minutes and two graphicaxe murders, eyes wander longingly towardthe exit doors. But Boston-area filmreviewers are a hardy lot and when the axe-murderer takes a shotgun/ketchup blast tothe chest there is a general sigh of relief. Hewas one very annoying character.

up. I mean here's this killer with all of thispent up anger and he never speaks.Q: Don't you think that this flm may be alittle too grovs?CN: My first three films together. havegrossed over one hundred million and weexpect this one to do even better,

Thus we are treated to two genres ofsenseless violence, the cleaver-in-the-cranium school of thought and its predecs-sor, the karate chop to the clavicle. Norrishas to rely heavily on his martial arts train-ing because his acting only seems to in-furiate the beast.

The fight scenes are carnage ad nauseumbecause every time the monster gets killedthe interferon cures him instantly and hecomes back more upset than ever. Youknow the type. At this point the audienceusually begins rooting for the die-hardmonster but when he took six shots to thechest and crashed through an upperstorywindow I remember thinking, "I hope helands on a picket fence." Some axe-murders are less lovable than others.

Whence the title Silent Rage? It mightapply to the sheriff, an aspiring ClintEastwood who favors action over conver-sation or-it -could be the monster whoseonly sounds emanate from other folks' ver-tabrae. It might even apply to the long-suffering filmgoer who gets duped intowatching this bloodbath. Chuck Norriswas in town last week to answer these andother important questcs. Some excerpts:Q: Howt did you arrive at the title for thism1ovie'

CN: It was just something that I thought

But as luck would have it he survives thebla1 ,; and the neigherborhood geneticresearch scientist cures him with some in-terferon. The patient's DNA now resem-bles little waffle irons and his ability toregenerate healing tissue renders him "vir-tually indestructable." Unfortunately he ispermanently afflicted with criminal brainwaves and he has the oscilloscope to prove

',4it.Beginning to sound a little like

Frankietistein? In fact, the only redeemingaspect of this turkey is its adherence to thatclassic script. When you're trapped in atheater with a psychotic beast, it's com-forting to know exactly who will and whowon't survive. The aforementioned scien-tist and his dumb assistant will certainly bedestroyed by their own creation and sundryinnocents, comprising most of the cast, willdie of sudden, massive trauma. The hand-some protagonist, in this case the townsheriff, will finally catch up with themonster just as it menances the H.P.'s ladyfriend. Sure enough, it all happens just thatway and the gallons of blood give it a sub-tle eighties touch so that we won't confuseit with the original.

Chuck Norris, six-time World KarateChanmp, plays the sheriff in this film whichwas produced by his own Topkick Studios.

Libby Tucker hitchhiked from Brooklynto take Hollywood by storm.

If weather conditions in NewMWexicoo remain unsuitable,Columbia could return to itslaunch site-, the Kennedy SpaceCentyr, where there is a three milelong.',paved landing strip. Theshuttle was not scheduled to usethe Florida landing site until itsnext night. The effect on Colum-bia of the crosswinds frequentlypresent at the Kennedy landingsite is unknown.

The shuttle was originally plan-ned to land at Edwards Air ForceBase, California, But heavy rainssoakedl the landing field.

.. After a nearly flawless launchMarch 22, minor technicalproblems -plagued Columbiawhile in orbit. Several radio tran-mitters failed, and the loss of two

Spectaitors began arriving daysin advance; by the evening beforethe launcht, campers were parkedthree-deep along Route I Op-po~site Cape Canaveral.

Despite a new noise supp'ei,,sion system which made th ,launch quieter than the First two,the biast-fromr the launch was stiHibone-sh-attering at the press sitenear the Vehicle Assembly/.Building.

By Ivan FongTwenty-three thousand

demonstrators rallied inWashington, DC last Saturdayagainst US policy toward ElSalvador.

The demonstrators protestedUS military aid to the CentralAmerican nation. They proceededfrorm Malcolm X Park down 16thStreet to Lafayette Park, acrossthe street from the White House,said participant Stephen A.Berenson '82, a member Of theM IT Committee on CentralAmerica.

Bill Hoffman G said about 100frolml MIT attended the rally. Henoted that Professor JosephWeizenbauni and other facultymembers participated.

"The situation is much moredesperate now" than in May, saidBerenson, who attended a similarrally last spring. Berenson

remarked attendence was higherat May's demonstration.

A coalition of 20 groupsorganized the demonstration,which proceed without violence,according to Berenson.

Kathy Brewer '82, who also at-tended the march, said "the rallywas a bit disjointed," and shesuspected more than 23,000protesters were there.

Berenson also expressed somedisappointment because "thecoalition did not seem as unifiedas it could have been." The in-nluence Of the march "remains tobe seen," he added.

President Reagan was at theWhite House during thedemonstration, according to aWhite House press aide.

The demonstrators playedmusic and carried signs proclaim-ing, "Curb Your Dogma,".USHands off El Salvador," and "WeNeed Jobs, Not War."

The CompanyMegatest builds the finest LSI testers in the

world. Our systems test more microprocessors,EPROMs and Bubble Memories than anybodyelse's. They have. broken all industry records forreliability. They have altered the way people think

about device testing.We've attained -this standing in the industry

while remaining a small, friendly, employee-ownedcompany. How? By creating an environment thatrewards creativity, effort and- results, not politicking,rank or tradition. And by emphasizing neat ideas

more than neat desks and neat dress.

The JobWe are now designing new test systems

which will handle the "super-chips" of the future.These systems will require astoundingly powerfulcomputers and near-perfect analog support circui-try. They will be specified in terms of picoseconds,nanoamps and gigabits.

*We need people with as much potential asour new systems in the following areas:

Computer Scientists (especially UNIX, language

processors, interactive development tools)

Analog and Digital Engineers (hi~gh-speed ECL gate

arrays and hybrids)

Applications Engineers (comrbines technical and market-

ing skills)

The PotentialThe range of professional opportunities at

Megatest is almost unlimited and we've perfected amranagement style that makes it possible to movefreely among thern. You follow your instincts andambitions. If you've got potential you can unleash itat Megat~est.

weekend of spring vacation, thevarsity pistol team was shootingits way to an outstanding finish inthe National Intercollegiate PistolChampionships held at An-napolis: two second-place and

By Wait Holm(Edilcor's Note: Walt Hor2i is amemb7her ofi rhe MIT Pistol Team17

While most MIT students weresleeping through the first

the championships was in theteam air pistol event, with the topthree teams separted by only threepoints out of 1600. MIT finishedsecond with 1465 points,defeating Navy with 1464,pointsbut losing to the Air ForceAcademy with 1467.

The team was composed ofLarry Deschaine '84, who wonthe individual gold medal with376 out of 400 points, Joe Mayo'83, who won the individual silvermedal with 374 points, DuncanHughes '83 with 358 points, andteam captain John Blascovich '82with 357 points.

The free pistol team alsobrought home a silver medal, withits highest score ever of 2032 outof 2400 points. The team wasanchored by Hughes with a 530out of 600, his highest ever incompetition. This total wouldhave won the gold 'medal in theindividual competition, had henot been in the position of firstalternate for that event.- Alsoshooting for the team were Mayowith 515 points, Deschaine with495, and Jon Williams '83 with492.

The standard pistol team,third-place finishers last year,'improved their score'by almost 60points this year but could onlymanage a fourth-place finish,with 2128 out of 2400 points.-

Heading the team once again wasDeschaine, who took the bronzemedal in the individual competi-tion with a 547 out of 600. OtherFine performances were turned inby Mayo with 535, Dave Martin'84 with 526, and Spencer Webb'83 with 520.

The highlight of the weekendcame, however, when four M ITshooters were named All-Americans-Joe Mayo '81, Free Pistol, AirPistol,' and Standard Pistol: Hisscores have turned heads acrossthe country in this, his first yearOf intercollegiate competition.Larry Deschaine'84,-Air Pistol: Apleasant surprise for the year,Deschaine will fly to Colorado.inApril to try for the junior(shooters 20 years and under) airpistol title.Duncan Hughes'83. Free Pistol:No surprise here, as Hughes is thereigning junior champion in FreePistol and is the captain of theU.S. Junior Air Pistol Team.Hughes holds the national in-dividual record for juniors, andwas an honorable mention forAll-American last year.Jon Williams '83, Free Pistol:Although at times overshadowedby other team members, Wil-liams' consistent shooting playeda vital role in MIT's 7-2 recordthis season,

one fourth-place finish. Theweekend was capped with the un-precedented announcement offour MIT shooters as All-Americans.

The championships conclude avery good season for MIT, whosported a 4 - 4 dual meet record.Highlights were wins over Bow-doin and Wesleyan.
