By William LasserProfessor Hans-Lukas Teuber,

head of the Department ofPsychology, is missing andpresumed dead after apparentlysuffering heart failure while swim-ming in waters off the BritishVirgin Islands last Tuesday. Hisbody has not been recovered.

Teuber, 60, was one of theworld's leading authorities on therelationship between behaviorand the brain. He was honoredlast spring by his colleagues onthe MIT faculty as the recipient ofthe 1976-77 James R. Killian, Jr.Faculty Achievement Award andwas to deliver the first of his twoKillian lectures next Wednesdayevening.

in a statement issued yesterday,MIT President Jerome B. Wiesnerdescribed Teuber as "an authorityand a pioneer in the complexstudy of the brain," adding that"to us at MIT - faculty and stu-dents alike - he was first of all awarm and good friend and col-league." Wiesner called the inci-dent "a most tragic and personalloss for all of us her,:."

The citation which accom-panied the Killian Award laudedTeuber as "a man who joins theinstinct of a penetrating ex-perimenter and the sympathetic

experience of a true humanistwith the consummate style of agifted teacher."

Teuber founded the Depart-ment of Psychology in 1964, threeyears after joining the Institutefaculty, and served as the head ofthe department from its incep-tion. He was affiliated withseveral professional associations,panels and organizations, andwas a member of the editorialboards of a number of journals inneuropsychology andneurophysiology.

Born in Berlin, he studied inEurope and later, in 1947,received his doctorate in psy-chology from Harvard Univer-sity. He served in the U.S. Navyin World War II, during whichtime he conducted research intothe effects of brain wounds onmilitary casualties. The investiga-tion of behavioral -changes inbrain-injured patients is still beingpursued at the MIT ClinicalResearch Center.

The 'Psychology Department,reflecting Teuber's interests, isbest known for its work in theareas of brain science, experimen-tal and developmental psy-chology, and psycholinguistics.Teuber was responsible for thedepartment's growth since 1964,

MIT was delayed at least another30 days by Wednesday's vote ofthe Cambridge City Council toextend its moratorium on P3 classexperiments.

The extension was approved toallow the council more time tostudy the report of the Cambridge

In his report to the Council,Browning recommended '"an in-termediate strategy of admittingnot more than 1000 in 1977 withgradual increases in the followingyears."

"This sees us through the peakhousing demand years of 1977and 1978," he said. "It accom-plishes the enrollment targets setin 1974 - up about 100 per yearfor four years to a total of 4536 and it buys us time in which thecommitment for building newhousing could be obtained."

Director of Admissions PeterH. Richardson '48 told The Techthat the Council's decision wouldnot "impact a great deal" on theadmissions process. He main-tained that similar procedureswere used to select any class sizebetween 900 and 1200, and wasconfident that the Council's goalcould be met, "plus or minus 35."

Any fluctuation in the sizes ofvarious classes has detrimental ef-fects on both the image and tne

Overcrowding in the Institute-housing system will become moresevere next fall despite an admini-stration decision to admit the sm-allest freshman class since 1973.

The Academic Council,meeting on Dec. 14 to consider areport prepared by AssociateDean for Student Affairs Ken-neth C. Browning '66, agreed tofix the projected size of the classof '81 at 1000 students. Such anenrollment, Browning estimated,would require 130 additionalspaces over the normal capacityof the dormitory system. This fail,Institute houses were over-crowded by a total of 96 spaces.

There will be relatively fewvacancies created in the housingsystemrn at tpnd of the currentacademic year, due to the smallsize of the Class of '77 - only 893students. This prompted Brown-ing to ask for a reduction in classsize; earlier projections had beenas high as 1100.

fContinuedfrom page I)not to delay researchers morethan is necessary to decide if theresearch will be permitted.

The Board's unanimous report,which received praise from bothopponents and proponents ofrecombinant research, suggestsseveral of its own safeguards tocomplement those recommendedby the NIH, including the follow-ing:

0 Institutions that wish to do P3work must prepare a manual ofsafety precautions and providespecial training for all laboratorypersonnel involved.9 MIT andHarvard BiohazardsCommittees mandated by theNIH guidelines must includetechnicians and representatives ofthe community.o Ail experiments of the P3 classmust use specailly weakenedstrains of E. coli which have beencertified as in the EKE class byNIH. The NIH only requires thisfor some types of P3 work.O The strains of host bacteriamust be screened for purity, andthe organisms must be checkedafter the experiment to see if theyhave acquired resistance to an-tibiotics.0 Institutions must monitor theescape and survival of the hostorganisms. Checks on thebacteria present in the intestinesof laboratory workers are also re-quired.

The report suggests that aCambridge Biohazards Commit-tee (CBl) be set up to overseecompliance with the rules. The

CBC, working with the MIT andHarvard Biohazard committees,would review research, conductsite visits to laboratories, and in-vestigate reports of violations.

The report also calls for a cityordinance to enforce these recom-mendations, and calls on the citycouncil to recommend to the U.S.Congress that uniform federalguidelines be legislated, that asystem to monitor the health ofall recombinant DNA workers beinstituted, and that more fundingbe given to aid research into thesafety of the host organisms.

CLERB was set up last July atthe same time as the City Councilpassed -the initial three-monthmoratorium, which was extendedin October in order to giveCLERB more time to complete itsrecommendations.

The panel is made up ofCambridge residents, most ofwhom lacked knowledge ofbiology before studying theproblem. Sharp said that thereport showed "remarkable in-sight" into the issues involved,and added that its release al-leviated his cynicism about theability of laymen to make an im-portant scientific decision.

The report was presented to thepublic at a special meeting held inthe Cambridge City Councilchambers Wednesday night. TheCouncil received copies Tuesdaynight after bitter complaints weremade Monday by severalmembers of the Council that thepublic would see the report beforethey would.

Although the Class of'81 deci-sion will relieve the acute problemof an unmanageable housingshortage, he explained, theadministration still "wanted astable class size" -and was not

succeeding.The Class of '80 had been pro-

jected to be 1100, but only 1051freshmen enrolled last term. TThisreflected a marked drop from therecord 1155 of the Class of '79.

Browning noted that the addi-tional overcrowding next year willbe felt across the dormitorySystem, as it was this fall. Amongthe Institute houses, East Campusand Burton House were the mostheavily affected.

The report submitted to thetwenty-member Council on Nov.15 also outlined the possible alter-

natives to dormitory over-crowding with their advantagesand disadvantages.

These included the undesirableconversion of graduate housing toundergraduate housing; theoperation of Random Hall as adormitory, which, barring its con-version into independent livinggroups, would be too expensive,the acquisition of off-campusresidences, were any available;and the construction of new hous-ing facilities.

Browning noted that fundingfor a new dormitory would haveto be obtained immediately forconstruction bo be completed bySeptember 1978. Design wouldhave to begin next month.

The associate dean's report alsoreaffirmed the policies of guar-anteeing housing to freshmen andof allowing a maximum of eightterms of residence in the dor-mitorv system.

By Thomas J. SpisakAfter a six-year struggle, Alpha

Phi Omega, the national service.fraternity, voted at their conven-tion in Atlanta last month todelete all gender references intheir national by-laws and as-sociated documents.

At the same time, the fraternitydecided to form a Task Force andNational Fund to resist pressuresfrom the federal government onthose chapters that do not chooseto go co-ed.

"The sense of the legislationdid not require individualchapters to admit women,although they might be requiredto do so by the Health, Educationand Welfare Department or bytheir schools," Chuck Funk,'74national convention delegatefrom Alpha Chi. the MIT chap-ter, explained.

HEW had threatened to sue in-dividual chapters' schools underTitle IX of the 1974 EducationAct if APO did not admit women,charging that the schools weregiving substantial support to dis-criminatory organizations.

If HEW had sued the schools,APO would have had to suspendchapters so affected, because theirnational policy requires that eachchapter be recognized by itsschool.

"Forty-four of our chapters

would have had to leave thenational fraternity if coedityhadn't passed," Funk asserted.

Alpha Chi chapter has hadwomen members since 1969, ac-cording to Membership VicePresident Charlie Dieterich."Women have held every chapteroffice since then," he said.

"The fight started in 1970,"reported Leonard Tower, Jr. '71.'We tried for equal membershipthen but ended up proposing acompromise which would haveadmitted women in a kind ofsecond-class membership." Thatmeasure was defeated over-whelmingzly.

'"In- 1972 and 1974, we broughtup coedity again at the nationalconvention," Funk said. "'*we lostin '72-, partly because of the shock'actor of women trying to becomeconvention delegates.

"In 974, 70 per cent of the con-vention favored degenderizationof the bylaws, but it takes threequarters to amend the bylaws.The compromnise we reached gavea somewhat fuller role to wo.imenbut not complete coedity," hecontinued.

"Although we, as a chapter,favc. full coedity, ive are sup-porting the fight for exemptionfrom Title IX wholeheartedly,Funk concluded.

By William LasserExactly one year ago Jimmy

Carter was a relatively unknownformer Georgia governor aboutto embark on the primary road inNew Hampshire to seek the im-possible: the presidency of theUnited States.

Through thirty state primaries,the nominating convention, andthe general election, Cartertraveled around the nation,reaching out to millions of disil-lusioned Americans with a uniqueapproach to Presidential politics:love, faith, compassion and open-ness.

But most of all, Carterpromised honesty. "'I will neverlie to you," he would say, andmany believed. They trusted himbecause they wanted someone totrust, someonte to make thernforget Watergate and Vietnam,someone to heal the wounds ofthe last fifteen years.

In less than two weeks, JimmyCarter will "'solemnly swear topreserve, protect and defend theConstitution of the UnitedStates." He will be the President,and it will be time for him tobegin to deliver on the manypromises which- he made in theheat of electoral battle.

He pledged to significantlyreduce both unemplo'yment'andinflation. He called for sweepingreform of the federal bureaucracyand for national health insurance.He promised to balance thefederal budget by the end of fiscalyear 1978.

Based on his appointments tohigh government positions, thereis little reason to think that Carterwill keep his promises. He has.selected a Cabin-et not of youthfulnewcomers, but of holdoversfrom the Kennedy". Johnson, Nix-on and Ford years. His topeconomic advisors are strikinglyconservative. His designation ofGriffin W. Bell -as attorneygeneral is notably uninspired.

Carter is not entirely at fault illhis Cabinet selections. For, whilehe spoke at length during thecampaign of being a political in-dependent, beholden to no man,he has found that his success asPresident will depend on his rela-tions with men of power and in-fluence in the private sector.

He could not alienate AFL-

CIO President George Meany byappointing a hostile Secretary ofLabor, nor could he run thle rilskof alarming Big Business with aliberal Secretary of the Treasury.Furthermore, Carter's choiceswere limited by the necessity ofpaying back supporters for theirhelp in the campaign, on bothpersonal and group levels.Womnen and blacks, who voted inlarge numbers for the Democraticcandidate, expected and deservedto be represented, and some earlyCarter advocates, such as GeorgiaCongressman Andrew Young,

called for. There are several po-tential trouble spots around theglobe. Talk of government scan-dal -this time concerning theKorean payoffs -is once againwidespread. The new President'sability to handle these crises willdepend on the success of his ef-forts to pacify scores of interestgroups. His margin of victory wasphenomenally narrow, and hiscurrent middle of the road ap-proach to the nation's problemsmay be the only way for him toconsolidate his support.

But these are all things which

were rewarded with choice posi-tions.

There is really nothingimproper or objectionable in anyof this, although the charges of"1cronyism" which have been

raised with respect to the appoint-ment of Bell bring back terriblenightmares of Nixon and Mitchelland Watergate. Carter's methodof Cabinet selection is not un-usual; these are the ways ofAmerican politics. What is dis-turbing is that the President electtold us that he would not play thistraditional game.

Carter takes office in difficulttimes. The economic recovery hasslowed, and speedy action is

Carter, should have knownmonths ago, when he lookeddown at the American peoplefrom countless podiums andpledged that he would help, thathe could be trusted, that he wouldnever speak falsely.

It was observed in this columna few months ago that Carter waslearning the rules of the Presiden-tial politics game as he wentalong. He must still learn atremendous amount - how todeal with the press, with theCongress, and with the people.,Above all, he must quickly sub-stitute the actions and deeds ofthe President for the promises andplatitudes of the candidate.,

We managed to domost of them with some degree ofcollaboration, but on one occa-sion I didn't have time to get itdone.

applyinag to gprad, schooByGlenn Brownstein

This being the first issue of IAP, and since so few of us are around oncampus (I'm certainly not), I'm going to dedicate this colulmn to -aspecial group -the seniors. Those of us who have suffered throughseven terms or more at MIT deserve special consideration anyway;we're all masochists of the highest order. Anyway, what I plan to dis-cuss is exactly what I've spent the last month or so doing -applying tograduate school.

All of us went through the same tortuous procedure to get into thisplace -autobiographical essays, letters of recommendation from highschool teachers who liked you, making sure your transcripts went tothe right college (don't laugh -I know someone who went to Colgateinstead of Cornell because of such a mixup), SATs, achievements, in-terviews, etc.

No3w to get out, some -of us (exempting the lucky souls who will enterrewarding engineering, scientific, or cab-driving fields immediatelyafter graduation) have to do the whole thing over again -but formuch bigger stakes. I'm not pre-med or pre-law or pre-vet, but gettinginto graduate school is just about as important, though somewhateasier (not much). Some of the forms are identical, so naturally the es-says are as well, although it's usually nlot a good idea to mail out 25duplicate copies.

Somehow the whole thing has become a lot harder. GREs aren'tanything special, transcripts usually go where you send them, and inter-views are the same no matter what they're for, but everything has a lot

you?" Guess it's the crisp, cool feel of a freshly printed dollar bill; theusual answer might be more enjoyable to explore, but in the long, runit's not what you truly believe, it's what *'they" want to hear.

But the most frightening part of applying to grad school is gettingthose elusive letters of recommendation. In high school, there werealways five or six familiar teachers and we were all model students, so itwas just a matter of giving all of them a chance to do a couple each. Ifyou've sat alone for hours staring at that ominous paragraph: "Threerecommendations are required of all applicants. Ask only those profes-sors who know you WELL as these letters will form an integral part ofour evaluation of you," then you've felt the nervous tremors as well.

Offhand, I can't think of too many friends who know three profes-sors well enough to get good recommendations without supplying lotsof supplementary material. And if the letters are for a medical or lawschool, three may not be enough, unless you have no objection to ask-ing them to write 35 letters each.

Most seniors I know know one or two professors well enough tohave no fear of what might be written in a recommendation, but thatlucky third can be a killer, or at least not much of a help. O~ften it's achoice between asking the guy you got an 'A' from last term, and thefreshman advisor you haven't spoken to in two years (or three). It's notnecessarily what little they know about you that'll hurt, it's what theyimprovise. "Sam is quiet and unassuming to the onlooker but becomesa brutally alnbitious maniac when aroused." Great, Huh?

But when you pile all the material together, seal up that envelope,and mail it, it's a feeling matched only by totally blissful inebriation onth~e night before the morning after. Unfortunately, that's not where thestory ends (if it does, that spells BIG TROUBLE).

Around April I or so, you'll hear the good or bad news: acceptance,rejection, or waiting list (sigh!). Or maybe nothing at all. What to do toyour worst enemy: one month after he sends out his grad applicationls,mail forged letters to all of the schools saying that he's no longer in-terested in applying, that he's accepted a big job offer in Sweden ofsomething. Above all, be realistic. What you're aiming for is not a massrejection -he might figure out your scheme -but no response at all,the worst possible torture. Imagine applying to 25 medical schools andhearing nothitlg. I take no responsibility for anything that happens therest of the term; it's just something to think about if it's June 15 andnobody's written you an accepiance/rejection letter.

I've just about wrapped up all my applications and will now busymvself about the business of graduating, another somewhat traumaticDrocedure well equipped with hidden pitfalls, and one I'll deal withlater this month.

Cheaters never prosper(Continuedfrom page 4 )

student member. We were repre-sented by Nancy Wheatley of theAlumni Office, who volunteeredto defend us. The instructor wasalso present as a witness. We didnot contest the charges, as it wasevident that we had cheated, sosought only to get a fair break.Nevertheless,' the hearing wasquite embarrassing as we at-tempted to explain how we pos-sibly could have cheated in suchan obvious manner. We were sur-prised to learn that our casewasn't unique. During the pastyear three cases were broughtbefore the Committee for review,yet we knew nothing about them,and were lulled into a false senseof security. I hope to make it clearto the community that the Com-rittee does exist and views disci-pline infractions very seriously.The Committee then went intodeliberation and decided thati; . . . the infraction (was) ofsignificant gravity to warrantformal probation."

Officially, the Committee hadthree options: Reprimand, Proba-tion and Expulsion. A reprimandis imposed in the least severe casesand consists of a letter placed inthe student's Dean's file. Proba-tion is more severe and includes anotation on the transcript as wellas academic probation imposedfor a period defined by the Com-mittee. The notation is removedafter ten years or by petitionto the Committee when".. . removal ... is necessaryto avoid undue and unforeseenhardships; or community stan-dards have changed -in such a waythat the offense... is no longerdeemed grounds for imposingsuch a sanction; or (clear and con-vincing evidence is presentedwhich demonstrates that) theindividual is not likely in thefuture to engage in the kind of ac-tivity for which he was penal-ized .... " Expulsion is the Insti-tute's final disciplinary tool im-posed for the most'severe casesand is imposed by the President.

What is so wrong with cheatingthat requires such sanctions? Itmay be unfortunate that gradesmust be determined from quizand problem set results, but untila better system is devised, they arethe only indication of the stu-

dent's knowledge. If grades areawarded for someone else's work,then they become meaningless.Furthermore, MIT enjoys anexcellent academic reputationfrom its insistence that everyonework to their fullest ability. Wesimply cannot tarnish its name bycheating because, if for no otherreason, our reputations can be nobetter than that of MIT's.

There are also very practicalreasons to refrain from cheating.The humiliation I suffered duringthe hearing was enough to deferme [sic] from further infractions,and the notation on my tran-script will prejudice my graduateschool and employment oppor-tunities.

I hope that I've impressed theMIT community of the negativeeffects of cheating, and of the seri-ousness that the Committee onDiscipline views such matters.The stakes are too high to gamblewith dishonesty.

Name withheld by request

To the Editor:I would be grateful to Roger

Kolb (The Tech, Dec. 10) if hecould point out where in nay letter(The Tech, Dec. 3) I said orimplied that "not to enjoy [artworks] means that one has notunderstood them." I am left withthe impression that either I havebeen grossly misquoted or Mr.Kolb is guilty of confusing astatement with its converse.Whatever the case, Mr. Kolb hasput words in my mouth which Idid not say.

Certainly one may understandan art work and dislike it, but thechances of liking an art work onedoes not understand are greatlyreduced. I have no complaintagainst those who make an in-forined unfavorable judgment onan art work, but the comments byRoger Kolb and others, and theearlier Commentary by Peter Cof-fee (Thle Tech. Nov. 12) to which I-responded were of the level of "Idon't like it; therefore it's junk."That hardly seems to qualify as-"informzative art criticism*'' andwould seem, to fail Mr. Kolb'sown definition of artisticsophistication. Mr. Kolb does not

even consider the possibility thatone may come to understand awork of modern art and then likeit - for him the only choice isbetween "thinking critically"(disapproving) and being a"creature of fashion." It is a pitythat he has chosen to cut himselfoff from all the art of his owntime, denying even the possibilitythat it has any value.

I hope that M r. Kolb does notdismiss a scientific theory or apoem as worthless if it does notappeal to him on first reading.Many of us have found that themost richly rewarding works ofart are precisely those which donot reveal their glories on first ex-posure; some comprehension oftheir particular language is neces-sary first. Turning to the world ofmusic, some obvious examples ofthis are the late quartets ofBeethoven, Wagner's 7Tristan und

Isolde,- Stravinsky's Sacre duPrintempts and Strauss' Elektra. Amusically unsophisticated listenerwho disliked one of these master-pieces on first hearing (an entirelyunderstandable response) wouldbe guilty of overweening ar-rogance if he then claimed it to beworthless. Similarly, Roger Kolb,not understanding the languageof Henry M oore or LouiseNevelson, is in no position to con-tend that their works areworthless` or meaningless,although he would certainly bejustified in saying that he dislikedthem.

I would not presume to act as"'interpreter" for Mr. Moore orMs. Nevelson, particularly for aviewer such as Mr. Kolb whostarts out with a chip on hisshoulder and blinders on botheyes. Sculptures, and indeedpaintings and music as well, are

not susceptible to verbal transla-tions - attempts invariably resultin the purplest of prose. One canno more verbalize a meaningfuldescription of the virtues of thesculptures in question than onecan a description of their faults(and indeed we have seen neither).Words are wholly inadequatesubstitutes for the direct visual ex-perience of the three dimensionalforms, colors and textures whichhave been the language of sculp-ture from the time of the ancientEgyptians, through Michel-angelo, to Henry Moore.

it is no more possible to comeforward bearing a verbal descrip-tion of a sculpture's virtues for ablind man than it is to describethe glories of 7Tristan und Isolde to( deaf mian who can't read music.There are none so blind as thosewho refuse to look, Mr. Kolb.

(The Tech received a copS ofthis letter to Ross H. Smnith, MITDirector of A lhletics. !To the Editor:

As one who makes a few laps ofthe Alumni Swimming Pool partof his daily regimen, I had lookedforward to I.A. P. as a time when Icould swim at more times of theday under less congested condi-tions. I was therefore disap-pointed to learn that there was to-be les.v time for open swimmingduring I.A.P. than during the restof the academic year. (Theschedule I have gives 9-10, 12-1and 7-8 as the periods for openswimmi-ing for I.A.P.. however a

notice at the swimming poolstates that the 9-10 period will notbe available during a substantialpart of I.A.P.) It seems then thatopen swimming is being pushedaside in favor of other moreorganized uses for the swimmingpool at a time in M.l.T.'sacademic year when one mighthave expected the opposite tohappen.

Agr~lh

By Stephen R. WilkHey, what's this Denham fellow got,

anyway?Well, it better be good after all this bal-

Iyhoo.-two men outside 'Kong' exhibition!

King Kong (1933)

Dino deLaurentiis' remake of the classicKing Kong is without a doubt, one of themost widely publicized motion picturesever released.

Paramount's publicity men have playedup the big ape in a style that Carl Denhamwould have been proud of - Kong's pic-ture appears on posters, cups, T-shirts andiron-ons, inside comic books, and featuredin ads for whiskey, sound systems, andvideo cassettes. With this much coverage, itseems people will go, if only to see what allthe ballyhoo is about,

My first impression of the film is disap-pointment that an animated Kong was notused in this production. Much of the charmof the original King Kong lay in the way hemoved; his elaborately pantomined moodsand his choreographed fight scenesbrought the story to life.

The new Kong, on the other hand, isplayed by an actor in an ape suit, -and thisfact is painfully obvious. The special effectsare limited to matting (superimposing)shots of thle suited ape into scenes so thathe appears to be enormous.

All of Kong's Sights have been cut, with

the exception of a brief wrestling matchwith a snake; it looks like an ape trying totie himself up in a garden hose. Moreover,the much-touted forty foot mechanicalbeast appears on screeen for barely a se-cond.

The plot is essentially the same as the1933 version, but has been alteredsomewhat to be 'relevant.' This arrogantyet lovable movie producer Carl Denhamhas been replaced by grabby, tactless FredWilson (Charles Grodin), an official forPetrox Oil.

Wilson plans to exploit Kong's island forit petroleum and use Kong in a Petroxpromotion. (Let Petrox put an ape in yourtank?) Opposing this ecological rapist isOur Hero, Jack Prescott (Jeff Bridges), a"Primate Paleontologist from Princeton."He is a man burdened with a heavy socialconscience, and tries to make Wilson lookbad every chance he gets.

Prescott also provides the romantic in-terest for Dwan (Jessica Lange), the newFay Wray. Differences between Dwan andWray are best characterized by Dwan'spleading with Kong not to release her fromhis grasp, lest the helicopters shoot himdown from the World Trade Center.

In short, this is a motion picturecalculated to make money. The audienceboos the exploiting oil. company and cheersthe mighty Kong. the 'now' themes ofsociology, ecology, and the oil crisis areplayed up relentlessly. Inside of ten yearsthis movie will be hopelessly dated.

Dwan (Jessica Lange) stands beside the fallen body Of Kong in Paramount PicturesKing.Kong, directed by John Guillerman.

Still, the production is slick incinematography, with breathtaking shotsof the great ape's Polynesian habitat, theoil ship Petrox Explorer at sea, and thenative ceremonies. Some interesting thingsare done with the giant Kong hands andface.

However, the John Barry score, reminis-cent of his James Bond soundtracks, is justtoo slow for this picture. Therein lies KingKong's final pitfall - its pace, quite simply,is sluggish. A full hour goes by before we

reach Skull Island, and an excessiveamount of time is spent 011 characteriza-tion. The original King Kong was an action-adventure films cutting swiftly from onescene'to the next, not letting the viewerdwell on the incongruities of a love affairbetween a forty-foot sihmian and a Ho!-lywood flapper.

Dino deLaurentiis'engaging way to spendnot the stuff of which

King Kong is anan evening, but it is

By David B. KoretzAerosmith, the area's favorite

punk rockers, came back to theHub on Dec. 16 to blast theBoston Garden with their hard,heavy metal sound. However, formany of the sellout crowd of over17,000, mostly teenagers, theevening fell short of perfection.

Back in October Don Law, thenoted rock music promoter, an-nounced two concerts featuringAerosmith with Rick Derringer asa warm-up act, for Monday andTuesday, Nov. 15 and 16. Ticketsales were brisk, as expected, andsoon radio stations announcedthe addition of another concerton the preceding Saturday, Nov.13.

Preferring the weekend slot, Iwent to the Boston Garden boxoffice, where I was told that therewould not be a Saturday nightconcert. I reluctantly purchasedtickets for Tuesday, and two dayslater tickets for Saturday went onsale.

According to newspaper andradio accounts, the Nov. 13 showwent off smoothly. However, onMonday night, some concert-goers, while returning home,became somewhat rowdy, due tothe influence of alcohol, mari-juana, and whatever, and badlydamaged several subway cars.

The next morning, the BostonGarden announced that the Tues-day night concert would be post-poned until Dec. 14 "due to thesevere laryngitis of Steve Tyler,the lead singer."

Those travelling to the BostonGarden by MBTA on the eveningof Dec. 14 had good reason to beintimidated by the show of forceon the part of the Boston PoliceDepartment. Several gruff, stolid

policemen stood on each subwayplatform, keeping crowds inorder, confiscating containers ofalcoholic beverages from concert-goers young and old, and roughlyshoving young people about.-They were determined not to al-low a repeat of the night a monthearlier.

Naturally, the situation peakedat the North Station and BostonGarden lobbies, where the atmos-phere resembled that of an armedcamp. Several vicious pjofice dogswere present, and their fiercesnarls blended well with the soundof police billy clubs held in righthands smacking against corre-sponding left palms. Unfor-tunately, the evening's low pointlay ahead.

Derringer, typical of warm-upgroups, was mediocre. He did,however, keep the crowd some-what alive for the main attractionof the night.

Aerosmith came out blazing,starting off with "Mama Kin", araucous, but catchy tune, fol-lowed by a collection of songsfrom their last two albums, Toysins the Attic, and Rocks, including"Rats in the Cellar," 'Uncle

Salty," and "Big Ten-InchRecord." They pranced about thestage, spirited but consistentlysolid, very seldom missing a note,beat, or guitar lick.

After pausing to catch theirbreaths, the flve-man band fromBoston played steadily, mixinghits such as "6Sweet Emotion,""The Last Child," and the currentchart-topper, "W~alk Thlis Way,"with songs from their secondalbumn, Get Your Winks, such as"Same Old Song and Dance,""XS.O.S. (Too Bad),"' and "Lordof the Thighs."

The group hit a peak with thepopular single "Train Kept A-Rollin' All Night Long," andthen left the stage to thunderousapplause. Since only an hour hadpassed, it was generally assumedit was an intermission of sorts;Aerosmith had been playing hard,and like most rock groups areknown to play about two-hoursets.

They soon returned, and wentinto the title cut from Toys in theA ttic. However, it seemedstrangely lackluster compared tothe band's earlier pyrotechnics.

After taking it through the mo-tions, they left again. This timethey did not return.

The house lights went on,and with the realization thatthe concert had lasted barely 70minutes came the shock thatAerosmith hadn't even played"Dream On," their all-time mostpopular song, and certainly theirmost well-known.

Aerosmith fans had waitedover two months for this concert.They braved long ticket lines, thestifling air of the Boston Gardern,and rough, brutal treatment at the

hands of the police, along withendless searches for contraband.

I think we deserved somethingbetter. One may not, perhaps,blame the Boston Garden for can-celling the original concert, or theBoston Police Department for be-ing anxious to prevent a recur-rennce of violence.

I cannot, however, justify thetreatment accorded by Aero-smith to their most loyal fansanywhere. For with success,musical or financial, must comethe maturity necessary to be trueprofessionals.

Besides Turlo and Temeng, the

By Dave DobosA small, but mighty Alumni

team put a scare into a depletedVarsity squad before succumbing64-49 in the fourth annualAlumni-Varsity indoor trackmeet. The contest, held inRockwell Cage, took place onSaturday, December 11.

The Varsity had to competewithout leading scorer RichOkine '77 and senior co-captainJoe Egan. The squad's depth,though, more than made up for atalent-laden Alumni team. Thegraduates numbered only fifteen,but included three All-Americansand four current or former MITrecord-holders.

Retired track mentor ArtFarnham coached the Alumni,receiving able assistance fromM IT Associate Professor JimFlink '64.

Freshman Jim Turlo led the in-dividual scoring for the Varsity.The Bermont, Massachusetts let-terman captured the 45 yard highhurdles (0:06.2), ran anchor legon the winning eight-lap relayteam, and placed second in boththe high jump and long jump.Classmate Kwaku Temeng leapedto victories in both the long jump(21'4-3/4") and the triple jump(44'2-3/4").

Two Alumni also were doublewinners. Jeff Baerman '76 flew infrom Chicago to pick up victoriesin the mile (4:25.8) and 1000 yardrun (2:22.8). Former All-American Brian Moore '73 cap-tured the weight throw (54'3")and shot put (46'8").

Alumni team members collec-tively travelled over 5000 miles tocompete in the event.

Other Alumni individual win-ners were Billy Leimkuhler'73 (50yd. dash - 0:05.6) and DaveWilson '73 (pole vault- 14'6").In the hurdles, Greg Hunter '76

Varsity enjoyed several fine per-formances. Jim Dunlay'79 edgedLeimkuhler in the 600, co-captainFrank Richardson coasted to a200-yard victory in the two-mile,and high jumper Reid von Borstel'78 leaped 6'4'A" to win his event.

From D-League intramurals to varsity teams,from football played under the warm sun ofSeptember to rugby played in the snows ofNovembcr, over 2000 students were involved inathletics last fall. The majority participated in in-tramurals - primarily football, soccer, and vol-leyball. In addition over 400 participated in intercol-legiate sports as members of one of the nine varsity,four J.V., club or fall practice teams.

The highlights of the fall season was the Women'sVolleyball team's victory in the Eastern Cham-pionships. Varsity cross-country also did well,
