.FIVE CENTS,

Associate Dean of the School ofEngineering James D. Bruce. Thecurrent department head, Pro-fessor Ascher H. Shapiro, has'held that post for eight yearsnow, and is resigning so he candevote more time to teachingand research. The search for anew chairman "is being handledby the Dean of Engineering,"according to Bruce, with advicefrom the department's searchcommittee, and "should con-verge within two to threeweeks."

Professor Stanford Anderson,chairman of the search commit-tee of the Department of Archi-tecture, says the primary cri-terion for choosing the new de-partment head is "excellencewithin his or her own area."Next, he should have adminis-trative capabilities and be willingto participate in the governanceof the School of Architectureand Planning.

Search processThe search committees, com-

posed of faculty within the de-partments and representativefrom the Schools, began workon their search five months be-fore the scheduled resignationsof the current department chair-men in June. After considerinig A new, talking computer has

been developed by engineers inMIT's Kesearch Laboratory ofElectronics (RLE) which canpronounce any word or string ofwords in the English language.

The remarkable thing about-this computer is that is need nothave ever seen a word before tobe able to pronounce it; thecomputer applies thousands oflearned pronunciation rules topronounce each word in muchthe same way a person does.

When a word is typed into thecomputer, it first pauses forseveral seconds to analyze it.Across its display screen flickerthe parts that the word is brokendown into, and the complexpronunciation rules that areapplied to decipher it. Then,from a speaker atop thecomputer, a flat, eerie-soundingvoice pronounces the word.

Surprisingly, this voice iscompletely nonhuman in origin;it is produced by a model of thehuman vocal system which hasbeen programmed into thecomputer. This vocal tract,developed by Dennis Klatt, aresearch associate in electricalengineering, receives informationfrom the computer which tells ithow to alter itself every

microsecond to create a speechwave.

The text-to-speech system wascreated by MIT engineers underthe leadership of JonathanAllen, Associate Professor ofElectrical Engineering, as part ofan overall effort at RLE todevelop a machine to read to theblind.

According to the system'sinventors two major problemshad to be overcome in buildingthis machine: 1) making amachine to recognize printedmatter and change it tocomputer language; and 2)building a computer whichwould transform thisinformation into understandablespeech.

In creating this "talkingcomputer," Allen and hisco-workers steered away from a' brute force" method ofteaching the computer to read.According to Allen, "we couldhave attempted to feed all thewords in the English languageinto the computer's memory,

and instructed the computer tomatch each word in a text with apronunciation."

This, he said, would not havebeen wise, however, becausethere are several houndiredthousand English words, andbecause new words arecontinuously being invented.Allen added that "It would beextremely difficult and unweildyto cram all the known wordsinto a limited computermemory, and to attempt to keepup with the words that enter ourlanguage continually."

Allen believes that it is betterto give the computer a basicunderstanding of the rules ofpronunciation, so that theknowledge the computer has willbe useful for a much longerperiod of time.

Alm ost all words arecomposed of a relatively few(approximately 11,000) atomicunits or "mmorphs," which do notchange over long periods. Usingthese morphs, a computer can

By Dave DanfordPacked into a small room in

the Student Center standing inthe doorway, peering throughthe curtained windows, a mob offifty or more warched the Bruinsplay on a new and very differentTV set Sunday afternoon.

The special attraction, otherthan the Bruins, bringing themto the television lounge was the4 1/4 x 5 2/3 foot screen of theVideobeam projection color tele-vision.

According to former StudentCenter Committee ChairmanSteve Wallman, the televisionwas placed in the TV loungeabout three weeks ago. Wallmansaid that it was purchased fromAdvent Co. for $2495 and ispresently in the lounge on asix-month money-back trialbasis.

Wallman pointed out that anew conventional color TV forthe lounge would have cost over

$800 anyway, so the committeedecided to try the more spectac-ular Videobeam TV to see if itwas practical.

"The picture is sensitive tofingerprints on the screen and tofooling around with the projec-tor," said Wallman. "We'rehoping that people will obey thesigns and stay behind the roped-off projection area."

THE NBA championship ser-ies was perhaps the event thatfirst brought hordes of people tosee the Videobeam. In view ofthe student reaction to basket-ball on the big screen, Wallmancharacterized the new TV as "anoverwhelming success."

One student who claimed notordinarily to be a pro basketballfan commented, "'The TV madewatching a basketball gameexciting. People were screamingand jumping up and down,"Praising the realism of the sys-tem, he continued, "It evensmelled like a gymnasium."

By. Mike McNameeThe increase in the size of the

class of 1978, along with a pre-ference to advise fewer studentson the part of the faculty, hasled to a severe shortage of ad-visors for the freshmen that willbe entering MIT in September.

According to Associate Deanfor Student Affairs Peter Butt-ner, head of the Freshman Ad-visory Council, approximately95 more faculty and staff advis-ors are needed if the FAC is toassign each advisor no more thanhis preferred number of advisees.

Buttner has sent a letter tothe heads of the 24 departments,asking their cooperation in sol-iciting volunteers to advise nextyear's freshmnan class.

So far, Buttner told TheTech, 98 faculty and 62 staffhave made firm commitments toserve as advisors. If each advisoris assigned the number of ad-

visees he has told the FAC hewould prefer to have, this wouldonly take care of 626 of theapproximately 1000 studentsthat will be entering this fall.

At the beginning of May lastyear, Buttner said, there was ashortage of 50 advisors. "Wesent a letter to the departmentheads, and eventually word gotaround and we almost reachedthe preferred number." Buttnerexplained. "But there is twice aslarge a shortage this year, andit's two weeks later in the term."

Two factors at work"While the number of advisor

volunteers is similar to that forlast year," Buttner said in hisletter to the department heads,"the preferred number of ad-visees is sma!:er." Buttner ex-plained that each faculty or staffmember who volunteers to ad-vise states how many advisees he

Three of MIT's twenty-fourdepartments will have new headsnext fall. The Department ofUrban Studies and Planning hascompleted the process ofchoosing a new chairman, andthe Departments of Architectureand . echanical Engineeringshould choose new heads byJune.

"Search committees" in thethree departments are at workconsidering candidates for nomi-nation to the Deans of theSchools involved, following de-cisions to resign made by theheads of these departmentsearlier this year.

The search committee of theDepartment of Urban Studiesand Planning has finished itswork, and has sent its list ofrecommendations to the MITadministration. The leading can-didate has been notified, accord-ing to Professor Lloyd Rodwin.Rodwin declined to disclose thename, for fear that it mightupset the "delicate negotiations"in progress, but said, "There isno reason to think there will beany problem."

A "cancerous growth" of themilitary going "beyond thebounds of reason" is threateningthe world today, and can best bestopped by banning use of "ex-cessively cruel and harmful"weapons, an arms-control experttold an MIT audience last week.

Dr. Alvar Myrdal, visiting Pro-fessor of Political Science, toldthe audience of the final Tech-nology and Culture Seminar ofthe year, "The world we live inis becoming increasingly mili-tarized and has gone beyond thebounds of reason."

Myrdals talk addressed thetopic, "An Era of Nee-Bar-barism: Arms and Disarmamentin a World of Power Politics."

The radical cure to spreadingmilitarism, Myrdal said, "wouldbe surgical: eliminate all militaryforces except for a minimumemployed as police or border

forces." Such a cure, however, is"elusive and politically futile."

Myrdal characterized thepresent disarmament talks as"dismal failures." "Not oneweapon has been disarmed.Weapon-makers who should bedismantling are increasing theircapability to ever newerheights," she said.

Myrdal said that she saw twomeans whereby disarmamentcould still be possible: the set-ting of individual weapons bansby the countries of a specificregion of the world: and "com-bining our current strivingstowards disarmament with thework done by humanitarian'sposition from the point of viewof disarmament, we can skipover some of the philosophicalstumbling blocks that occur."

Myrdal stated that precedentsfor limiting weapons which are

"excessively cruel" already exist."The Saint Petersburg declara-tion of 1868 clearly states: 1)'The only legal object of war isto weaken the forces of theenemy; 2) To do this it issufficient to remove the enemyfrom action. 3) Anything whichwould uselessly prolong theagony of men or make deathinevitable is illegal and againsthumanity.' "

Myrdal also cited the 1907Hague Convention as stating"The rights or means to harm anenemy are not unlimited."

The same document also con-tains a provision that "attacks orbombardments on towns or vil-lages are illegal." Myrdal con-cluded that agreement on the

MIT was the one college citedby New York Times educationreporter Oene Maeroff in arecent article on the engineeringeducation situation as having "asteady level of enrollment."Maeroff cited representatives ofthe Engineers Joint Councilpredicting higher starting salariesfor graduates in the next coupleof years.

This trend towards a betterjob market and pay for engi-neering graduates is in markedcontrast to the situation in theearly '70's, when the closing ofthe space program and economicproblems in the aerospace in-dustry caused widespread - andhighly publicized - unem-ployment in engineering.

"The unemployment situationin engineering was real, and ithad a definite effect on en-rollments that we're still seeingtoday," Bruce said. "Manypeople were scared away fromengineering by the situation.

By Mike McNameeMIT is resisting a general

trend towards decreasing enroll-ments in engineering at schoolacross the nation, with theInstitute's total enrollment inengineering holding steady, andsome fields increasing thenumber of graduates.

Figures published by Engi-neering Education magazine inApril (see chart, p 3) show anationwide trend away fromengineering in the last two years,making an estimated gap be-tween the supply of engineeringgraduates and the demand forthem of at least 10,000 students.

MIT, however, has no prob-lems with falling enrollments inengineering, according to Asso-ciate Dean of the School ofEngineering James D. Bruce."We have not had any largefluctuations in total engineeringenrollment at MIT," Bruce toldThe Tech. "From department todepartment, however, there areall sorts of changes."

port said. "This department hasalways had a history of gradu-ates going into :other. technicalfields. -Now they're also goinginto non-technical fields."

MIT atypicalDavenport said that he

doubted that the trends at MITare the same as those across thecountry. "MIT is a specialplace," he said. He pointed outthat students at many engi-neering schools must "enter"engineering during the freshmanyear, and that it is difficult toget into - or out of - engi-neering as an upperclassman. "I

(Continued from page 2)We've found here that parentsare far more worried about itthan students."

The sharp decrease in em-ployment of engineers was well-publicized, another factor thatinfluenced enrollments. "It wasone of the first times since theDepression that a large group ofprofessional people was thrownout of work, en nzasse," Brucesaid. "Naturally, it got a lot ofattention." People don't thinkthat professionals have em-ployment problems."

"'1 suspect that a lot of thepeople layed off in the '71crunch were people who werenot productively employed, andthese were the people whofound it hardest to get newjobs," Bruce continued. Headded that he had not seen toomany articles on the risingdemand for engineers.

Internal trendsBruce said that he was mainly

interested in local, internaltrends in engineering educationat MIT. The growing number ofstudents who are using engi-neering as a stepping-stone toanother profession, for example,was a development that "willhave a large effect on the engi-neering profession."

"The applicant pool at MIT ischanging, with more and morestudents coming here to get asound technical background be-fore entering some profession,"Bruce said. Some MIT facultyhave resisted this change, headded, noting that "they feelthat we shouldn't 'waste' a spoton a person who is ultimatelygoing on for a medical degree,and should use our resources totrain professional engineers.They're worried about the im-pact on their own discipline."

Professor Wilbur Davenport,new Head of the Electrical Engi-neering Department, said that hehad noted a trend of students"going into things other than EEor engineering." "I think EE issecond in the Institute in medi-cal school applications," Daven-

have a feeling that this impactsvery heavily on students here,"he said, "Many of them don'teven 'realize how different thesituation is here from the rest ofthe country." Many EE majors"considered physics, math, andEE at the same time beforedeciding on EE," Davenportsaid.

Engineering at MIT is almostcertainly at the top tier ofschool's across the nation. AsBruce said, "No one's come upto me and said, 'Our enrollmentis holding up better than yours.'We're darn close to the top."

that which must not be lost, are thefeelings and emotions which surfacedduring four years here. Technique 1974has made an attempt to record thosefeelings and emotions.

For some, college represented a tran-sition between late adolescence and adult-hood. It is four years of maturing, ofbecoming the master of one's own des-tiny. The desire to express these ideasspawned. "On Overcoming A Fear ofBirth." For many, the Institute providedmany hours of isolation and loneliness,and these people will leave with ambiva-lence. The opening essay was created forand by them. In a similar manner, all ofour book was intended to expressthoughts and ideas which grew during ourstay here.

In order to express a thought, onemust necessarily distort it to fit it into aform, be it literature, art, or, specifically,photography. The more abstract theform, the less corrupted is the thought.However, the more abstract the form, thegreater part of one's audience one sacri-fices. One must choose a middle groundbetween total abstraction and total com-'promise.

I am sorry if our choice has placedMcNamee outside of our audience. I amsorry that Schindler found our line draw-ings 'worthless.' We must, however, standby our choice. To desert it would be aninjustice both to the art and the artist.

By Steve WallmanA large concert is being planned for

this September. We hope to be able tobring the Beach Boys or the GratefulDead to Rockwell Cage (or the GreatCourt), and we would like people who areinterested in working on this to give us acall at the UA office (x3-2696).

There are some other projects also.Anyone who read the article on theFinance Board budget (The Tech: May10,) gets an idea of some of the presentproblems. There is not enough moneygoing into student activities to providefor all of the requests. This year's amountof unallocated reserves is pitifully low. Ithink that there is an overwhelming needfor students to be involved in the Dean'sOffice budget allocations before the lumpsum is delivered to the Finance Board todole out. Not only are there increasedcosts to activities, as everyone wouldexpect, but there are also many moreactivities requesting funds. The numberof requests was about 40% greater - thisyear than last year. If activities areconsidered worthwhile and to be encour-aged at the expense of the Institute, thenMIT has to start taking into account theirincreased financial needs. More input isrequired for the future wellbeing of activ-ities. This seems to be a natural place forincreased communication. The chance fornew activities to start up and for old onesto expand will be lessened unless moreflexibility is added into the budget.

And what about the Awards Convoca-tion? There were a variety of awardsgiven out to students and staff, rangingfrom athletics to particular achievements

In Case of Insomnia -

MOIT awards ...what awards?

By Storm KauffmanAnother awards ceremony has come

and gone and the majority of the MITcommunity has taken it in stride, withoutbatting a gnat's eyelash.

Most students have little idea of whatawards exist and what they mean, andmany care even less about who gets them.This is a sad situation, both for those whoreceive the prizes and for those who neverhear of winners.

First of all, most of the fun (glory,excitement) in winning one of theseawards is getting congratulations fromfriends and strangers. Presumably, theindividual has worked long, hard, andunselfishly in order to become eligible,and some sort of fuss about winning iscertainly in order. Instead, the best thatcan be expected is an announcement inThe Tech of the the winners (their namesprobably misspelled) with little publicityof just what they have done to deservethis high honor.

According to Associate Dean for Stu-dent Affairs Robert Holden, (a memberof this year's Compton Committee) nomi-nations for the awards (specifically, theComptons and Stewarts) are solicitedfrom the community and "anyone canmake a nomination." This is not a well-known fact.

Additionally, the committee in chargeof determining who gets the Comptons-an arm of the Committee on StudentEnvironment (CSE) - does not makepublic the list of nominees. Even theminor recognition of being nominated forone of these prestigious goodies would beappreciated by those dedicated souls.

Just what are these "awards" I've beendiscussing? The whole gory list can beseen on page e As for the Big Two, theirdescriptions can be found in the GeneralCatalogue.

The Karl Taylor Compton Prizes are"awarded in recognition and encourage-ment of outstanding contributions inpromoting high standards of performanceand good citizenship within the commu-nity." It does not sound very difficult tocop one of the silver teapots that is theCompton, yet these presentations seem tobe invariably stained by what one MITwoman termed "blatant tokenism."Apparently, it has become obligatory toname at least one woman and one black,which is certainly fair if the individualsdeserve the prize as they did this year.However, when the committee gives outonly three teapots, and those to twowomen and a black man, one finds itdifficult to believe that there is not atleast one of the other 84% that alsodeserves the award. The Compton alsoseems to allow a rigid pattern presentingthe pot to seniors only, although theremust be some junior (or even sophs) whodeserve recognition now for what theyhave accomplished. Saving the pot as agoing away present makes little sense.

The William L. Stewart, Jr. Awards aregiven (by the Activities DevelopmentBoard - why?) "to individual studentsand student groups for outstanding con-tributions to extracurricular life." Thismust be a prime reward area, one inwhich there are tens of worthy candidateseach year, but this year there were only13 Stewarts and last year only seven. Ican think of a number of people whodeserved yet did not receive this smallsimulated-metal slab.

The major complaint is that no oneoutside of the award committees seems tohave any idea of how or why the winnersare selected. Considering that both aresupposed to be given for outstandingcontributions to the community, I won-der why those who axe being contributedto have no real say in the process.

to help outneeds to be more publicity about theseprograms. There is no good reason forthem being so hidden, so hard to findout-about, so hard to get into. We aregoing to work on the problem of publi-city and access of these programs.

Did you know that the Chemistrydepartment has lab fees, and that it is theonly department in the Institute thatdoes? The idea of the Institute in termsof paying for education implies that thereshould not be any specified fee for aparticular subject, but that tuition pay-ments should allow any student to takeany subject without additional supple-mental costs. We'll be working on thisslightly inequitable situation also.

Again, we are looking for some inter-ested people. If you are interested, give usa call.

Do you have any projects in mind?any gripes? any problems? There areplenty of things to work on, do you wantto help? We'll be continuing our opera-tions during the summer, if you're hereand want to get something started, let usknow. We need some help and enthus-iasm, and we're looking for people to carea little bit. Just drop by and talk in theStudent Center, Room 401, x3-2696.

Steve Wallman, is President of theUndergraduate Associationo

in activities, to teaching. Who gave outthese awards, who decided that one per-son deserved them and another did not?The issue here is not whether or not thepeople that won the awards earned them,but the legitimacy and meaning of theawards. There was one award, for aperson who dedicated himself to stu-dents' well-being, that was decided uponby a committee that consisted of twostudents and three administraters. Themajor award (the Comptons) committeehad all of its members chosen by itschairman. There are one or more admin-istrators who sit on almost all of thecommittees, it is inconceivable that theirbias will not show through no matter howobjective these people try to be. A newequitable distribution, involving more stu-dent representation and less administra-tion overlap is needed. The awards maymean nothing to a large portion of theMIT community, but to the people whowin them and the people who made thenominations they have a great deal ofmeaning indeed. The awards show someamount of appreciation and thank fordedicated service that generally goes unre-warded. The problem is not so muchthose few people who received awardsunearned, but those people who wereglaringly passed over. A better system,coupled with more time for decisions andless arbitrariness in the choosing wouldhelp insure a more meaningful award'sceremony.

Did you know that there were aca-demic exchanges with Harvard, BostonUniversity, and others, in addition toWellesley? Most people don't. There

Letters to The TechTechnique ITo the Editor:

This is not an attempt to criticize MikeMcNamee's personal and artistic opinionsof Technique 1974. He is entitled to hisopinions, whatever they may be.

I wish to take specific exception to hisclaim that "much of the book bears onlya marginal relationship to anything thatgoes on at MIT, and deals more [myemphasis] with Boston and kids on theCommon than with legitimate Instituteevents..." This is false. Applying thestrictest quidelines, that an MIT-relatedevent is one occurring on the campusproper, or involving MIT students direct-ly, there are 27 pages out of 304 whichare not specifically MIT-related. Sincewhen, McNamee, does less that 10%constitute "much"?

If The Tech's editorial board must findgrounds on which to base a pan ofanother group's efforts, they could atleast have, the honesty to get their factsstraight.:

J. Alan RitterEditor-in-chief, Technique 1973

The Tech's Editorial Board neither writesnor approves reviews; the review of Tech-nique was McNamee's opinion alone, asevidenced by the fact that Paul Schindlerwrote a dissenting review which appearedon the same page.

Technique IITo the Editor:

I would like to attempt to correctsome of the misconceptions held by MikeMcNamee concerning the intent of Tech-nique 1974.

Years hence, when most of what tran-spired here is fading from memory, sim-ple pictures and words about the Institutewill have lost a great deal of theirsignificance. That which is important,

Although they have "notruled out people inside the de-p a rtment," the Architecturesearch committee is conductingan "energetic" search for outsidepeople, according to Anderson.He explains that the committeeis searching for good outsidepeople partly as a yardstick a-gainst which to measure candi-dates from within the depart-ment. Currently, "seven or eightare in active consideration," andthe committee is still looking formore information on anotherseven or eight. All these are fromoutside the department; insiderswill be considered later.

If all goes well, all of thedepartment head appointmentswill be confirmed over the sum-

(Continued from page 2)banning of these weapons andtheir indiscriminant use wasmuch more likely than anyagreement to ban nuclear weap-ons.

"Nuclear weapons should oc-cupy our thoughts, but to sim-ply call for the immediate dis-mantling of all nuclear weaponswould get us nowhere," Myrdalsaid. "We must start on thesesmaller matters and then buildup scaffolding for higher de-mands until we, the victims, areheard."

Myrdal" feels that antiper-sonnel weapons are a numberone priority for banishment asthey "cause an excessive amountof -pain." "One of the worstoffenders is the high velocityrifles such as the M16 which wasused by the United- States inIndochina," she stated. The bul-lets of these guns attain speedsof over 800 meters/second andtheir destructive power is "de-cidedly greater than what isneeded. Their use is worse thanthat of dum-dum bullets whichwas completely banned by1899," Myrdal said.

"Modern weapon's tech-nology is aimed at causing morepain and is in fact willfullyplanned. The idea of a cleanbullet weaponry seems unaccept-able to the military of somecountries," Myrdal noted.

Another area that Myrdal sug-gested should be attacked is theuse of biological and chemicalwarfare. "That might supriseyou," Myrdal said, "as their usewas banned by the Geneva Pro-tocol of 1926." This agreementwas signed by one hundred na-tions, including nearly all the

major powers except for theUnited States. "However," saidMyrdal, "the US has repeatedlystated in the United Nations thatshe would abide by the protocol- then she uses tear gas andherbicides in Indochina."

Myrdal termed the use ofsuch defoliants and anti-cropweapons "one of war's greatesthorrors. This could easily beused as the poor man's weaponagainst his neighbor in wars ofstarvation. Such tactics could infact spread throughout theglobe."

The final area that Myrdalconsidered was that of indiscrim-inant use of mass bombing. "Thebombing in Indochina was on ascale that is almost impossible tobelieve," she said. "One wouldhave to drop a bomb like thatwhich destroyed Hiroshimaevery six days to match the rateat which conventional explosiveswere dropped." The end resultof this was the death and dis-figurement of millions uponmillions of people.

Myrdal noted that the peopleinvolved were almost all civil-ians, whereas in World War Ionly 5 percent of those killedwere civilians. In World War IIthe figure was up to 50 percent;in Korea it was 60 percent; inVietnam 70 percent of all thepeople killed were civilians.

"We must come to realize theparadox that while all wars andweapons are cruel, some arecrueler than others," Myrdaladded. We must show the mili-tary of the various countries thatthere are alternatives with equalor only slightly less militaryeffectiveness but that are at leasthumane."

To you, photography is morethan a hobby. You may never wantto become a professional. Yet, yourphotography is as important ameans of self-expression to you asyour speech. You demand thesame excellence in your photo-graphic equipment as you do ofyour photographic skills.

The Canon Fol is the camera thatcan fulfill any photographic task towhich you put it. It can stand up toyour ability in any situation.

Naturally, a great camera like theF-1 won't ensure great results.That's up to you. Yet -it's nice toknow that your camera can growwith you as a photographer.

Part of the reason for this is theF-1 system. Since it was designedin totality, it offers total perform-ance. There is nothing "added on"in the F-1 system. Everything worksas it was designed to, and inte-grates superbly with everythingelse. You'll spend lesstime worryingabout operating the camera than inshooting. And that's what creativephotography is really all about.

Controls fall into place undereach finger. It's no accident. Pro-fessionalswho depend on a camerafor their livelihood have a deepregard for the F-l's handling. It'samazing how much a comfortablecamera can improve your work.

The team was thus thrust intothe semi-finals on Sunday,happy that they had made itthat far and ready for a toughProvidence team, a squad thatwas a quarterfinalist last year.

MIT went up 3-0 on a fine40-yard penalty kick by Yoshidain the first half, but Providencetied the score at 3-3 andthreatened time and time again,only to be foiled by Caruthers,Yoshida, and Simmonds onvarious occasions.

By Lawrence D. DavidHaving dropped their last

four games in a row, the Beaverbaseball team battled back tosweep a doubleheader from WPIby scores of 8-7 and 13-7,upping its record to 14-7, thebest mark in MIT history.

WPI was in control through-out the opener and apparentlyhad the game locked up with a6-2 lead through 61/2 innings.(Games in collegiate double-headers last only seven innings.)However, a furious rally by theBeavers in the home half of theseventh evened the score at 6-all.

A single by Roy Henriksson'76, following a pair of walks,loaded the bases. Another walk,this to Mike Dziekan'76, forcedin a run, and Dave Tirrell '74then rode a 1-1 pitch into left toscore two more Beavers. Afteran error kept the rally alive,Kevin Rowland '74 stroked 'along fly to tie the contest.

MIT again fought back afterWPI had gone ahead, 7-6, in theeighth.

The second game was notnearly as close an affair as MIT'sbats were hot. A seven-run firstinning, highlighted by a doubleby Steve Reber '74 and a three-run triple by Dziekan, and BobTrain's third inning grand slamhomer, a long drive down theright field line, pretty much icedthe game for the Beavers.

John Cavolowsky '76 wonboth ends of the twinbill inrelief, the first MIT pitcher everto do so, boosting his record to3-0.

However, the week was not acomplete success as the Beaversblew early leads in dropping apair of games to Greater BostonLeague opponents on Mondayand Wednesday.

MIT parlayed some timelyhitting and shoddy fielding bythe Jumbos of Tufts to take a4-0 lead in the first inning. Con-

trol problems by the Beaver star-ter allowed Tufts to even thescore in the second. As MIT batscooled off, the Jumbos pro-ceeded to build an insurmount-able lead to win their first GBLcontest.
