ation Council modified the pro-posed student activities fee refer-endum at their meeting lastThurday. The revised referen-dum, which will on the ballot ofthe March 9 UA elections, callsfor the activities fee to last onlyfive years - a limit which wasnot originally proposed.

Meanwhile, the UA FinanceBoard, which would be responsi-ble for distributing the activitiesfee funds, is considering adopt-ing a set of written guidelines toalleviate fears that FinBoardwould not be able to manage thefunds.

Mark Kantrowitz '89, presidentof the Association of Student Ac-tivities, submitted a draft ofguidelines to FinBoard, which iscurrently considering them. Fin-Board will have the guidlines"polished" by Saturday, and theywili then be approved by the UAExecutive Board Sunday, accord-ing to UA President Manuel Rod-riguez '89.

Both moves seem designed toimprove the chances that referen-dum will be approved by the stu-dent body.

Shrinking profits closeUA store indefinately

ation convienence store hasclosed indefinately after 21 daysof operation, according to UAPresident Manuel Rodriguez '89.The store was closed because ofsagging sales and "the need tochange the merchandise," Rodri-guez said.

The store had not been break-ing even over the past severalweeks, so the UA ExecutiveCommittee decided to temporar-ily cease its operations, Rodri-guez said. He said students needdifferent merchandise during theterm, and that the store wouldreopen once the restocking wascomplete.

Rodriguez said there would be"no purpose in having the storeopen" with its current mechan-dise. The store was "not provid-ing a service" once the term gotunderway, he explained.

The store had been makingsubstantial profits during its firstthree weeks of operations. Dur-ing the last week of classes lastfall the store netted $1127. Dur-ing the last week of IndependentActivities Period profits were$156, and during the first week ofthe spring term the store made$555. But the store lost $70 thenext week, and only made $10 inits final week of operation.

Rodriguez said the trend insales made it clear that "drasticaction" would have to be taken- noting that on its last day ofoperations the store only grossed$20.

Rally calls feBy Michael Gojer

ATLANTA, GA - With the"Super Tuesday" primaries onlyone week from today, nearly 6000people gathered here three daysago to pressure presidential can-didates about the plight of the es-timated three-million homelessAmericans. The demonstratorssought to dispel myths about thecauses of homelessness and toconvince candidates that federalsupport for low-income housing-which-has been cut by 75 per-cent since 1981 - is necessary tostem it.

All six major Democratic can-didates spoke at the march,which took place only blocksaway from a Democratic debatein Atlanta on the same day. Noneof the Republican candidates at-tended, though the National Co-alition for the Homeless -theorganizers of the march -saidthey had invited all of them.

"The great myth as far ashomeless people are concerned,"said one formerly homelessspeaker at the march, "is thathomeless people are a bunch ofno good people that don't wantto work." He and others stressedthe difficulties of finding housingon low wage jobs.

Demonstrators said that oftenthe almost homeless would beforced to choose between payingtheir heating and utility bills andpaying for food. "Twenty percentof the homeless are working butthey cannot make enough to af-ford adequate housing," accord-ing to Rev. Larry Jones, Directorof Feed the Children Ministries.

Democrats at the marchblamed the cuts in spending forprograms for the poor on the Re-publicans and the almost eightyear-old Reagan administration.Since 1981, the federal housingbudget has been cut from $32 bil-lion to $7.5 billion. Democratic

The committee was formed inresponse to criticism of the pre-sent program last fall by the adhoc Committee to Review theArts at MIT. That committee was"shocked by the state of the pro-gram," which was in "drastic de-cline," reported Chairman PaulL. Joskow to a faculty meetinglast November.

Hundreds of students wereroutinely turned away fromclasses every term for lack ofstaff, Joskow said. In fact, therewas a good chance that the pro-gram would disappear within fiveyears, as faculty members retiredor shifted their interest to otherareas, Joskow reported to thefaculty.

Following the issuance of theJoskow committee's report, Pro-vost John M. Deutch '61 agreedto create the new post of associ-ate provost for the arts, whowould be responsible for coordi-nating the arts at MIT. Also inresponse to the report, the archi-

Goldman setsnew US mark

Jan Goldman '89 broke an-other US record on the last dayof the 1988 Winter Olympics inCalgary, Alberta. Goldman fin-ished 10th in the women's 5000meter speedskating event Sundaywith an American record time of7:36.98. She edged out teammateMary Docter, who held the re-cord briefly with a time of7:37.00.

Yvonne van Gennip of theNetherlands won the event with aworld record ttime of 7:14.13.The silver and bronze medalswere wone by East Germans An-drea Ehrig and Gabi Zange, whoposted times 7:17.12 and 7:21.61respectively.

Rodriguez further emphasizedthat the bulk of new funds wouldbe given to student activities. Hesaid the UA itself only needsmoney (about $15,000) to help fi-nance the Course EvaluationGuide, which is currently com-pletely funded by the administra-tion. He explained that by par-tially funding the guide, the UAcould avoid pressure from the ad-ministration to modify reviews.

The referendum states that theUA will fund campus wide eventssponsored by living groups andhonor societies. Rodriguez didnot feel this would be a largedrain on the UA, estimating thatonly $30,000 of additional moneywould be directed to these events.

He explained that this fundingwas needed because "very littlegoes on in terms of campus wideevents-" He cited the SAElor par-ty and Greek Week as events thatmight receive funding. Also, henoted that the hockey team want-ed to have a party in conjunctionwith their Beaver Cup match, butfunding was not available - the

UA could have helped fund thisevent.

Rodriguez asserted the activi-ties fee could lower dormitoryhouse taxes and fraternity socialfees, as the UA could fund moreof their events.

The remaining money raised bythe fee - about $50,000 -would be given to student acti-vites, almost doubling their bud-get.

Kantrowitz said that while hehad some reservations about theproposal, he supported it. "Thealternative is worse," he ex-plained.

At that time Rodriguez addedthat "visitors to MIT who onlywant to buy . . . insignia find thetrip off campus inconvienient."

But Rodriguez said yesterdaythat the store was not receivingmuch business from MIT tourgroups.

On Sept. 30 Rodriguez said itwas important to have the UAstore because "it is inconvienientfor students to go Kendall Squareor Central Square just to pick upessentials like pens, pencils, orpaper just when they run out."

Thinking aboutyour education.The purpose of education is to develop basic thinking skillsand to obtain a basis of knowledge in our chosen field. Thisprovides the foundation for problem solving abilities across arange of disciplines.

However, development of better solutions to challengingproblems requires dimensions beyond basic thinking skillsand knowledge of the field; it requires creativity in conceptionand in approach.The ability to be "creative" is often regarded with a sense ofmystery and apprehension. Sometimes it is considered theexclusive purview of artists or others with the "right" aptitudes.

Of the many studies of creativity there is one common con-clusion: if we give creativity enough attention, we get better atit. This suggests that creativity is a challenge like any other,a "problem" to be solved. It also suggests that, as with any otherchallenge, our attitude towards it, our desire for a solution, andour belief in the intrinsic worth of the task are the most importantingredients for success.The principal obstacle to achieving creative breakthroughsis a premature conclusion that a better solution is not possible.For a "creative" solution is by definition one that is different fromthose that have preceded it and one that often runs counterto accepted knowledge.

To overcome this obstacle we need to add to our basic thinkingskills and technical foundation the following elements of attitude:1. A strong desire for a creative breakthrough.

2. Confidence in our ability.

3. An expectation that many false starts rmay be necessary.

4. Sufficient immersion in the problem to engage all our faculties.

5. A willingness to pursue solutions until a breakthrough isachieved.

6 Analysis of each attempt to aid in the deveiopment of insight.

In those cases where a task appears routine, we may alsoneed to intentionally "spark" the creative process. We do thissimply by asking how the task can be done better, for "better"implies a different approach, which in turn requires creativity.There are, of course, other considerations. Especially impor-tant are the environment within which we work and the caliberof our associates. As with every other part of the problemsolving process, interaction with capable associates can bean important catalyst.

However, most important is the awareness that the foundationsfor creativity rest inward with our attitudes. This includes arecognition that superior creativity is something we must in-tensely desire and that success does not come without effortand many false starts.

nDuring ao1,r educatio,, ,e usually are facedu Wi solvinlgproblems that have two characteristics: 1) we know that asolution exists; 2) we know that the solutions can be obtainedwith the techniques under study. When we begin work, theseconditions do not hold, and yet we face the challenge of findingsolutions. If we are aware of the foundations of creativity duringour education we can better prepare ourselves for thischallenge.

rather uninteresting from a meteorologicalperspective. Most of the action (storms, arctic airblasts, etc.) will be confined to our north as thepolar jet stream retreats northward over Canada.Fortunately, "uninteresting" weather is oftensynonymous with good weather. That will be thecase for Boston as we can expect predominantlysunny skies and moderating temperatures throughThursday. By Friday, however, we may becontending with a storm which is now forming overthe southwest United States.

Today: It will be breezy and cool with mostly sunnyskies. High temperatures will be 33-38 °F (0-3 °C)and winds will be northwesterly at 10-15 mph(16-24 kph).

Last Thursday I stood with agroup of protesters in MIT'sLobby 7. As I looked around thegreat domed hall, I could see adozen or so uniformed police of-ficers watching warily from thebalconies above. MIT was onguard to protect itself against anintrusion from the Outside

The men and women I stoodwith were not members of theMIT community; with a few ex-ceptions they were not students,professors, administrators, orstaff. They were members of an-other community; the one thatsurrounds the confines of ouracademic castle. Some live in themany houses beyond our walls;and others, less fortunate, live inthe streets of Cambridge andBoston.

They came with placards andbullhorns, shouting into thedepths of the Infinite Corridorthat a great injustice had beendone. The power of the Institutewas reaching beyond its walls:homes had been destroyed, andthousands more were threatenedby the rise in rents caused by themulti-million dollar developmentsof the Corporation. Those with-out homes sought an audiencewith His Lordship, Paul E. Gray'54, the 14th president of MIT, totell him in person that all was notwell within his dominion.

Another student and I brokefrom the angry horde that be-seiged the Institute and strolledpast the palace guards to surveythe situation. We found fourmore guarding the carpeted en-trance to his Lordship's cham-bers. We paused near therosewood doorway and asked ifwe might speak with Him, butthe guards feigned ingorance ofhis whereabouts.

We looped back to the GreatDomed Hall thru the InfiniteCorridor, stopping in Lobby 13;where, we noticed, another gath-ering was taking place. Wepushed our way through thecrowded room to see what all theexcitement was about. We discov-ered another group from theOutside had entered our hallowedhallways; they had no bullhornsbut they too had placards andpassed out leaflets to the passingcrowds of students and profes-

mon to once again beseech theInstitute to aid them in their des-perate search for a hearth to calltheir own.

Yet they were met by the CourtJester and the noblemen, flankedby palace guards, who told themthey would never be allowed tomeet with His ILordship. On Hisorders the palace guards placedthem in chains, dragged themfrom the Great Domed Hall, andbanished them from the King-dom forever.

sors.We looked around for the uni-

formed guards of the Palace,who, as we had seen, kept such awatchful eye over the intruders inLobby 7. Yet there was not evenone in our midst. Who then, wewondered, were these peoplefrom the Outside who the guardsand His Lordship do not fear?

We ventured forth to learnmore about these welcomedfriends of the Institute and foundthe answer to our query upontheir tables: they were arms mer-chants from the distant Valley ofSilicon, here to recruit buildersof the Bomb.

We walked slowly back to theGreat Domed Hall, shaken byour discovery. How could it bethat our sacred Institute wouldwelcome as friends those thatcome here to seduce our best andour brightest into wasting theirminds and their talents on theproduction of weapons of de-struction, while those withouthomes, who ask only to meetwith His Lordship, are fearedand scorned and shoved backinto the streets to die like dogs inthe night?

We rejoined the crowd in Lob-by 7 and listened to their songsand their speeches. They sang ofthe suffering they had endured atthe hands of the palace guardswhen last they had breached thesanctity of our walls by campingin the gardens of the castle. Thatstruggle had secured them a briefrespite from their life in thestreets and gained them an audi-ence not with His Lordship butat least with a Court Jester andone or two noblemen.

But these men had nothing tooffer but empty promises and pi-ous reprisals. Those withouthomes soon realized the Jesterand the noblemen were only stall-ing for time until the Bringers ofNews forgot about their plight.

A fortnight past the Ides ofMarch those without homes willbe cast forth once again into thestreets; their temporary homesprovided at the City's behest willbe sold to Gentry in the employof the arms merchants. Thus, onThursday past, the homelessjoined hands with local serfs andmarched from Cambridge Com-

The INF treaty recently signedby President Reagan and SovietGeneral Secretary Mikhail Gor-bachev has induced a schizoidsplit in the American press unlikeany since Nixon normalized rela-tions with China.

On the right hand, conserva-tive publications such as NationalReview openly worry about thepossibility of "decoupling" theNATO alliance in a "nuclearMunich;" comparing the treatyto Chamberlain's 1938 agreementto appease Hitler by partitioningCzechoslovakia.

On the left, nuclear disarma-ment enthusiasts applaud thetreaty as a first, if small, step to-ward the world-wide eliminationof nuclear weapons. (Gorbachevalso talks like this, although onemight justifiably question his mo-tives and sincerity.)

In reality, the treaty is neitherdisaster nor salvation. Instead, itis simply the most recent in along line of arms control agree-ments, some of which were suc-cessful, most of which were not.In common with nearly everyprevious agreement, the INF trea-ty fulfills some of its sponsors'expectations at the cost of somedrawbacks.

Let's look at the history of thetreaty for a moment. Prior to1979, the defense of Western Eu-rope rested on the NATO doc-trine of "flexible response," orthe ability to meet any possiblelevel of Soviet attack with aNATO counterpart. Thus a Sovi-et conventional assault would en-gage a NATO conventional re-sponse, use of battlefield nuclearweapons would trigger a like at-tack, and a full-scale nuclear at-tack would be met by the com-bined US, British, and Frenchdeterrents.

In the late 1970s, however,NATO observers began to noteappearances of the Soviet SS-20,a mobile and highly accuratethree-warhead missile with arange just shy of the 5500 kilo-meters that would have includedit in the SALT II negotiations.The NATO mratching threat wasa force of 108 aging Pershing Imissiles owned by the UnitedStates and 72 Pershing Is"owned" by the Federal Republicof Germany, although still underUS control.

The politics of nuclear deter-rence required NATO to meet thechallenge of the new Soviet mis-siles. Europeans have worried foryears about the dependability ofthe US "nuclear umbrella" - theAmerican guarantee to respondto a Soviet nuclear attack on Eu-rope with US-based warheads. Incynical terms, Europeans haveasked if Americans would bewilling to trade New York for

can still easily be targeted at Eu-rope.

Fears about alliance stabilitymay be justified, but those aboutdeterrence are not. The view thatneither the battlefield nor strate-gic nuclear weapons provide a le-gitimate deterrent to a Soviet in-termediate range strike ischauvinistic, revealing a deep-seated tendency for Americans toview themselves as the only im-portant actors in the world nucle-ar drama. Both the British andthe French deterrent forces, al-though small, are certainly largeenough to wreak enormous dev-astation on the Soviet Union.Not even Stalin would have beenwilling to absorb that kind ofdamage to obtain a Pyrric victoryover Western Europe.

On the other hand, the securityof Western Europe would begreatly lessened by any furthernuclear disarmament, particular-ly the tentatively broached "thirdzero" of the British and Frenchnuclear forces. Some observerswould like to link further nuclearagreements to reductions in con-ventional force levels. Even thisseemingly reasonable requirementmay go too far, since no level ofNATO conventional strengthcould serve to deter a Soviet at-tack as well as the existing distri-bution of nuclear forces.

Europe and the Atlantic alli-ance survived nicely before theINF treaty, and will likely contin-ue to do so once the treaty be-comes effective. If the treatyteaches us anything, however, itshould be to consider our "prop-aganda" more carefully, lest weinadvertantly obtain all that weask for.

Bonn.Continental leaders such as

West German Chancellor HelmutSchmidt felt that the alliancewould be strengthened by thepresence of new American mis-siles in Europe, ensuring anAmerican reply to Soviet nuclearattack. The Carter adminstrationagreed, and in 1979 finalized aplan to replace the Pershing Iswith 108 Pershing Ils and 464Tomahawk cruise missiles capa-ble of striking targets within theSoviet Union.

The NATO decision proceededalong a "dual track" allowing theUS to deploy the missiles whileattempting to eliminate the SS-20with offers to halt the Pershingand Tomahawk deployment. Themost famous proposal of the sec-ond track was the "zero option,"advanced by President Reagan asa propaganda ploy in late 1981.

No one seriously expected theSoviets to dismantle existingweapons in order to block a fu-ture American deployment, andindeed, they did not. The newAmerican missiles were deployedin 1983, prompting a Sovietwalkout from the negotiating ta-ble in Geneva.

The zero option proved too po-tent to lie unused, however, andthe West found itself hoist on itsown propaganda when Gorba-chev appropriated the slogan in1986. Despite some obligatoryhesitation, the US found it im-possible to refuse what had beenits own suggestion. The INF trea-ty, eliminating the SS-20s, Per-shing IIs, and Tomrnahawks, wasthe inevitable result.

So what of the conservatives'fear of "nuclear Munich?" It'shard to argue with Europeanfears about the "coupling" of theAtlantic alliance, since the UShas only battlefield nuclear weap-ons and its intercontinental stra-tegic forces to deter Soviet mis-siles, such as the SS-25, which

To the Editor:Why am I opposed to the stu-

dent activities fee that the Under-graduate Association is trying toimpose upon the student body?Where shall I begin? The UA issupposed to represent the inter-ests of the student body. Thosewho have had an opportunity towork within the system knowthat the UA is completely out oftouch with a large portion of thestudent body, namely the Greek

System.As anyone who has ventured

out into the social world at MITwill attest, the Greek System isthe dominant social force at thisschool. I would venture to esti-mate that of the students who en-gage in social activities at MIIT(as opposed to relying onl the cityfor entertainment), at least two-thirds rely on the Greek Systemas an alternative to the bar scene.

It must be remembered that al-though we are all technically UAmembers, those of us who chooseto live in independent livinggroups support ourselves finan-

,cially, and with the changing de-mographics at MIT coupled withdormitory rush, it is becomingincreasingly difficult to makeends meet. Section three of thereferendum does call for distribu-tion of funds to iLGs.

Ideally, the interests of the IFCshould coincide with those of theUA in general. But that is obvi-ously not the case at this time.UA sponsored activities, specifi-cally social activities, just don'tattract IFC participation. At thepresent time, I don't think theUA has the right to ask us tocontribute money, regardless ofamount, to an activities fee thatwill minimally serve our interests.

I would urge all fellow IFCmembers to vote this resolutiondown, at least until the IFC andUA discuss what would best servethe interests of the entire studentbody. The UA is not sufficientlyrepresentative of the undergrad-uate body, in my opinion, tomake such a decision on its own.

the UA, DormCom, and the Stu-dent Center Committee. Let megive an example of the kind ofplanning that went on here. TheInterfraternity Conference beganplanning Greek Week '87, whichwas to take place on October 15-18, in April. There are manyplans to be made for a major, co-ordinated social event. Being afootball player myself, I hadplanned Greek Week aroundfootball homecoming.

A week or two before GreekWeek, I was invited to attend aFall Weekend planning meeting.Fail Weekend, for those of youwho didn't notice it, was meantto be planned around footballhomecoming. It was schedulednot only for the weekend follow-

I was outraged when I learnedof the money wasted by the UAon the Student Life at MIT Week(SLaM) last year. Over $15,000went into this week of eventswhich attracted, at best, 25 per-cent of the student body. Thiswas called a success by the coor-dinators. Just as a reference forcomparison: the budget forGreek Week '87 was $2500, andover 25 of the member houses aswell as numerous non-Greeksparticipated. A far more cost-effective event, to say the least.

Don't get me wrong, many ofthe subcommittees and discus-sions organized by the UA seemto perform very valuable servicesfor the student body. Do theseactivities eat up the UA's budget?

Just because your Mormis far away, doesn't meanyoucani t be close. You canstill share the love andlaughter on AT&T LongDistance Service.

CANDY MOUNTAINDirected by Robert Frank andRudy Wlurlitzer.Written by Rudy Wurlitzer.Starring Kevin J. O'Connor.At the Nickelodeon.

And so begins Julius' journey to find thesemi-legendary Silk. The film relates inepisodic manner the encounters with theseries of people that Julius meets as heleap-frogs his way on a road trip fromNew York City to rural, Maritime Canada.More than just Silk's relatives and ac-quaintances, Julius runs into a variety ofother characters, odd each in their ownunderstated way.

Candy Mountain is episodic in the ex-treme - not only are the characters thatJulius meets separated by time and cir-cumstance, they are only thinly linked the-matically. Each meeting is unique on itsown, refering almost not at all to previousencounters, an adventure on its own asJulius tries to extract information aboutSilk's whereabouts.

But while the meetings are separate intheme, this hardly makes them disjointed.The characters may be different, the epi-sodes may be different, but Julius under-goes a definite development through each.Director Robert Frank intended CandyMountain as a passage of innocence into

LMORE SILK MAKES GUITARS.Elmore Silk makes guitars thatare worth 20 grand apiece.Elmore Silk disappeared years

ago, never to be seen again. Such are thecircumstances which motivate Julius(Kevin J. O'Connor), a so-called "youngpunk" from New York City - a quest, anodyssey, sort of like the Golden Fleece, orthe Holy Grail, or a Candy Mountain.

Music industry people in New York citywould like to get ahold of Silk and wouldlike to lay their hands on as many of hisguitars as possible. Julius says he knowsSilk (he's lying). Julius says he knows howto find Silk (he's lying again). Julius thinksthat if he finds Silk he'll get a foothold inthe music industry. Julius gets $2000financing to find Silk.

hommage to Kerouac or anything likethat. The name came up now - usually itcomes up from the other side: when peo-ple interview me they ask about Kerouac.Well, he certainly had a big influence. Oneis always influenced as an artist by differ-ent people so naturally there is an influ-ence there. But I never put the two togeth-er, the book On The Road and travellingacross the country. That wasn't really onmy mind. It was more travelling from onecountry to another, essentially from a veryaggressive country to a country that'smuch more peaceful and at ease, likeCanada. So that was more the main themethan going back on the road.

Where do you think Julius fits in on(Please turn to page 9)

that part of the theme of his innocencechanging into knowledge?

It was part of the theme of the fihn thatat the end Julius would know more aboutlife, about himself. That was. part of hisdevelopment. A lot of people remark thatthis is kind of a beatnik film. I never sawPeggy Sue Got Married. I didn't reallythink much of Kerouac during the makingof the film. I thought more of the film likeWim Wenders Kings of the Road, whenthey travel through Germany, two guyswho repair projectors. I think that alwayshappens, that if you have some kind ofhero, that hero will remind you of some-body ten years ago, I5 years ago. It's easyto put those elements together - the roadand the punker and the beatnik.

So it really wasn't intentional?

By PETER DUNN

In the movie it almost seems fike Elmoreis selling out at the end. Do you feel thereis a necessity to make a deal in Amnericatoday?

It's the system - unfortunately that'swhat I've found out. This is a systemwhere deals are made and if you don'twant to make deals, you're into somerough going. It's also a system that isbased on a lot of greed.

Even though Julius Is referred to in thefilm as a punker at one point, he struckme more as a fifties beatnik. Maybe it'sjust Kevin J. O'Connor's role from PeggySue Got Married. Was that intended? WasDirector Robert Frank

BATTLE OF THE BANDSWalker MemorialSecond session of four.February 25.

By PAUL SHERER

HE SCC'S BATTLE OF THE BANDShas become a focal point forMIT's community of rock musi-cians. For several weeks each

spring the school's diverse group of bandscoinpete for the titles of Best Covers Bandand Best Originals Band (covers bandsplay music by other artists, while originalsbands play their own material). Threenights of preliminary competition areheld, from which two covers bands andtwo originals bands advance to the finals.

The second night of the Battle tookplace Thursday evening, with the last twocovers bands playing along with the first ofthe originals bands. The evening openedwith a group called Rob & Dave, a pair ofstreet musicians playing accoustic guitar.After killing time with a blues jam whileawaiting the arrival of one of the judges,the duo launched into an enthusiastic setof rock covers. Their Harvard Squarestreet performance experience showed intheir ability to keep the audience amusedwith light banter before the set and be-tween songs.

The set began with Lynyrd Skynyrd'swell-worn Southern classic "Sweet HomeAlabama." The guitar playing was crispand confident, the vocals meshing well.During Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Fromthe Beginning," however, the singers hadtrouble keeping their vocal harmonies to-gether. This problem would resurface laterin The Allman Brothers Band's "BlueSky," and especially in the Grateful Dead's"Sugar Magnolia," where the two seemedat the tops of their vocal ranges.

A high point of the set was the Dead's"Friend of the Devil." The band played itfast and lively, with their vocals together,though Rob Hershenfeld's lead playinghere and elsewhere was often rhthmicallymonotonous, consisting mainly of eighthnotes. Perhaps he was inspired by JerryGarcia's relentless scale playing.

The band ended with Neil Young's "MyMy, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)," withDave Campbell '89 adding a touch of ap-propriately atonal harmonica. All in all,they provided a competent and entertain-

Bands nightVoid's singer. The band's backup playinghere was boomy and muddled, and alongwith the vocals was too tame to match thewild intensity of the hard-driving original.Great originals do not always translateinto great covers, even with a band as tal-ented as Vital Science.

The weak ending failed to diminish theimpact of this competent and enthusiasticband, however. Vital Science has no seri-ous competition for winning the battle forbest cover band.

Head, the third band of the evening,was the first competing in the originalscategory. They performed a well-polishedset of music with a strong sixties influence."Into a Dream" was reminiscent of themellower, more introspective side of JimiHendrix seen on his album Axis: Bold AsLove. The song featured tight vocal har-

ing mix of familiar rock classics, hamperedby a lack of vocal polish.

When Vital Science launched into GraceJones' "I'm Not Perfect," it was immedi-ately apparent they were a cut above theother cover bands. All six members weredead-on tight, lead by a funky rhythm sec-tion, crisp guitar, and sweet saxophonefills. The band proved capable of a wideand daring range of material, marked byaccomplished musicianship throughout.

MIT bands in recent years have moreoften than not featured vocalists lackingany real talent. Vital Science vocalist Jean-nette Ryan set herself apart during theband's second number, Eurhythmic's "I'veGot An Angel," demonstrating a strongrange and a well-trained voice.

The standout elemrnent ,of Vital Science'ssound was provided by Ray Zepeda '88,on alto, tenor and soprano saxophone and

flute. His sweetly enunciated fills andfunky solos provided a richness and pro-fessional quality rarely heard on the SCC'sstage.

The band ran synthesized bass througha drum machnine on the English Beat's"Mirror in the Bathroom," with bassistJohn Bartholomew G and keyboardist EricOstling '88 providing somewhat choppedvocals. They went on to demonstrate theirrange with Herbie Hancock's jazzy/Afri-can "Karimba." Zepeda provided moodysoprano sax, while drummer GaryLeskowitz '88 filled in over electronic per-cussion.

Unfortunately, the band ended on aweak version of Romeo Void's "Never SayNever." Ryan lacked the raw sensuality tocarry the song, and wasn't fat enough toprovide the incogruity that the original'svocals have due to the sheer heft of Romeo

(Continued from page 7)flective qualities of the work in an accom-plished reading. Mozart's Symphony No.41, "Jupiter," was well done, too; the deepmelancholy of the Andante cantabile, hit aparticularly heightened level of the sub-lime: it tore at the soul, but was ultimatelysoothing, hopeful and utterly Mozartian.

ANCHETTO MUSICALE'S presenta-tion of Purcell's music for TheBIndian Queen made for a pleas-

-ant, if sometimes bland eveningin Jordan Hall last Friday. Purcell's com-position was intended to provide musicalinterludes for a play by Robert Howardand John Dryden, not to tell a tale by it-self. To fill in some of the gaps, LaurenceSenelick was commissioned to create anddeliver a narrative, using lines from theoriginal play, together with words of hisown.

Sanford Sylvan dominated the stagewith his clear, characterful singing. It wasa delight to be able to hear every word, es-pecially when they were delivered so witti-ly. Envy's aria, "What Flattering Noise is

This," was my favorite number, each dev-ilish morsel of mock naughtiness coatedwith a delicious layer of innuendo. Theode to Bacchus, "Hence with your TriflingDeity!" rolled forward from Sylvan's lipsboozily, but in the role of the High Priest,his voice took on solemnity and as Is-meron, seriousness.

Nancy Armstrong, in contrast, did notsing to her normal standards. There waslittle drama to her voice, with her flat, un-involved rendition of "I attempt fromlove's sickness to fly in vain," being a par-ticular disappointment. Steven Rickarts'undernourished counter-tenor soundedthin and inconsequential.

Laurence Senelick's narrative was oftenhumorous, but many of his words weremuffled: they weren't given the loud, cleardiction they demanded.

Orchestral playing was of a high stan-dard, Martin Pearlman drawing tight,buoyant performances from his instrumen-tal ensemble. Bruce Hall's bright, naturaltrumpet, and Peter Sykes' spritely harpsi-chord were particular assets.

THE OPENING SEQUENCE is a taxiride from the airport. HarrisonTFord is snuggling in the back seatwith a woman in her forties.

Ford has never in living memory costarredwith a woman anywhere near his age, andto see him kiss a wrinkled check is a mildshock.

Naturally, the woman, Betty Buckley,disappears ten minutes into the film.

knowledge, and although Julius seems farfrom innocent at the film's outset, Frankmanages to evoke a transition in Julius'perception of the possibilities and impossi-bilities of life.

This transition is quite notable inFrank's camerawork which, althoughstrongly influenced by the contrasting set-tings of New York City and rural NovaScotia, also changes in point of view.While the early parts of the film are shotfrom an inside-looking-out viewpoint(panning shots from inside apartments andtaxicabs), this develops later into morewide-open, all encompassing shots. Still,whenever Julius interacts with other peo-ple, it is usually within the more claustro-phobic confines of a tightly shot room.There are clearly two overlapping themesthat are being played out at the same time.

Frank's second theme is of people asseparate entities, a theme which never wav-ers - he constantly shoots conversationswith panning shots instead of two-shots,thus emphasizing the distance betweenpeople. Upon this theme he overlapsJulius' awakening to the reality of this in-dividuality, the realization that everyone isonly looking out for themselves - even inthe one romantic interlude when Julius en-counters one of Silk's past flames, the au-dience realizes upon looking deeper thatshe too uses Julius (perhaps in harmless

manner, but uses him nonetheless) toassuage her own loneliness.

Frank's ability in conveying the under-stated themes of Candy Mountain are ablyachieved through his subtle camerawork,and also through his oppressive lightingand minimal music score. What the filmoften lacks, however, is depth of actingand a definite sense of direction.

Frank insists on using mostly unknownactors, often musicians (Joe Strummer,Leon Redbone, Dr. John, David Johansenof the Buster Poindexter Band), and thespoken lines are often stilted because of it.And while the film's themes are down-played, Frank often strays a little toomuch, perhaps losing his audience for afew minutes.

Still, these failings are minor: the short,precise, stilted lines sometimes help to em-phasize the film's understated humor;Frank's tendency to meander helps to em-phasize Julius' own meandering nature.These may be failings on the surface, butthey fall into the grand scheme of thingsanyway.

Candy Mountain is no great film, one tosweep you off your feet with any majorrevelation of the reality of human nature.But it is also not a film that will fail tosatisfy in its own wandering, episodic, un-derstated way - Robert Frank has man-aged to convey his personal message with-out overblowing it with false bravado.

missing in Kaof the age of science, instantly fades away.

That is why, from girlhood on, she FF[Ter-eza] would stand before the mirror so of-ten.... She forgot that the nose wasmerely the nozzle of a hose that took oxy-gen to the lungs; she saw it as the true ex-pression of her nature.Even in this abridged passage, one can seehow deftly Kundera integrates his rumina-tions with his character's actions. That iswhat gives the novel (and its title) sub-stance; what other novel about four younglovers begins with a three-page reflectionon the Nietzschean idea of eternal return?

But therein lies the problem with thefilm: the full richness of the book is quitedifficult to portray in the filmic medium.The best one can hope for is probably anintelligent and sensitive recounting of thenarrative in a manner that remains faithfulto the more metaphysical aspects of thebook. Philip Kaufman and his actors leaveno doubt that they have made as good afilm as possible from as unfilmable a novelas this. Despite that, the film leaves onehanging for more.

Perhaps the best scene in which this be-comes evident is the scene in which Tereza(French actress Juliette Binoche) and To-mas (Daniel Day-Lewis) make love for thefirst time. She screams loudly in his ear. Inthe book, the scream "was not an expres-sion of sensuality. . . . What was scream-ing in fact was the naive idealism of herlove trying to banish all contradictions,banish the duality of body and soul, ban-ish perhaps even time." In the film, howev-er, all one hears is Tereza shouting for a

_L atitle like this one about? Uponreading a copy of Czech emrnigr6 MilanKundera's renowned 1984 novel, it turnsout to be about four young lovers (Tomas,Tereza, Sabina, and Franz). But this is notrashy Harlequin Romance. Kundera'sbook takes place during the 1968 Sovietinvasion of Czechoslovakia and inter-spersed within the novel's romance andpolitics are numerous philosophical asidesand metaphysical discussions -- whichform the real core and gem of the novel.Consider an excerpt:

A long time ago, man would listen inamazement to the sound of regular beatsin his chest, never suspecting what theywere. ... [Tlhat remainder, left over afterthe body had been accounted for, was thesoul.

Today, of course, ... the'old duality ofbody and soul has become shrouded in sci-entific terminology, and we can laugh at itas merely an obsolete prejudice.

But make someone who has fallen inlove listen to his stomach rumble, and theunity of body and soul, that lyrical illusion

This is indicative of how straightfor-ward the narrative has been made in thefilm. The book's central division of allthings into "heavy" and "light" and Kun-dera's constant exploration of the bound-ary of the two categories is so subdued inthe film as to be virtually absent.

Yet what remains on the screen doeshave strengths of its own. The acting in thefilm is uniformly superb, from Day-Lewis,Binoche, and noted Swedish actress LenaOlin (as Tomas' mistress) down to the fewmoments the popular Polish actor DanielOlbrychski has onscreen as an InteriorMinistry official. Kaufman draws thor-oughly on the skills of his actors, andthere is no mistaking that this mostAmerican of directors has successfullyproduced a quintessentially Europeancharacter study.

Technically, the film is dazzling in sever-al moments. One sequence in particular, inwhich Tereza and Tomas photograph theSoviet tanks and troops as they roll intoPrague, is a breathtaking cinematic tour-de-force. Kaufman and his crew recreatethe Russian invasion with a frightening ac-

curacy, complete with authentic clothing,props, automobiles, and tanks. (DanielDay-Lewis is even provided with a golddental crown that was popular with Czechmen at the time.) During the sequence,Kaufman integrates virtually every techni-cal aspect of filmmaking-lighting, pho-tography, editing, sound, color, art direc-tion, acting-with such astonishing claritythat the scenes portray the invasion with avitality the book never could have hopedto equal.

And the narrative does manage to ver-balize one of Kundera's seemingly unfilma-ble comparisons. Tomas castigates at onepoint those who refused to atone for theirinitial welcome of the communist regime.They should have, says Tomas, followedthe example of Oedipus who blinded him-self when he discovered his sins. It is apity that more scenes like this one couldnot be incorporated into the film becausewith all the sheer talent involved in thefilm, Kaufman has achieved what to himmust be a supreme triumph. Nevertheless,it is disappointing that one must be famil-iar with Kundera's novel to appreciate fullrichness of the qualities that made the sto-ry of Tomas, Tereza, Sabina, and Pragueso special.

They followed with "Don't Know Why"and "All Grown Up," songs in the laidback, rolling vein of Crosby, Stills, Nash &Young on 4 Way Street, including long in-strumental sections punctuated by guitarsolos using a wah-wah pedal. UnlikeCSNY, Head featured a very funkyrhythm section, lead by drummer ScottBraitwaite.

Overall, the band was clean, tight, anddedicated. Though the SCC has tended inthe past to favor the most pop-orientedbands, Head should be a good bet tomake it to the finals.

The third night of preliminary competi-tion will be this Thursday beginning at9:30 PM in Walker Memorial. Four origi-nals bands will be performing - Chutney,Solo Faces, Stoned Wheat, and Bucket O'Lunch. The winners of the preliminarynights will be announced after the lastband performs.

About 5000 people metSaturday morning in the parkinglot of the Atlanta Civic Centerfor the start of the march, wherethey were flanked on one side bynewly-built condominiums andon the other by a city park wheresome of Atlanta's homeless -who number almost 8000 -looked on.

"It's no accident thatthere are 3 million homeless peo-ple in this country," she said.

Protesters said that both theDemocrats and the Republicanshave tolerated homelessness as a"necessary evil" but have failedto act effectively.

Most of the strength of the vi-sual arts program is in the gradu-ate programs, such as the Centerfor Advanced Visual Studies(CAVS), he continued, and sothere is the need to strengthen theundergraduate programs by pro-viding a more complete begin-ning education in the visual arts.

The two main activities of thecommittee, continued Friedman,are to "define the character ofthe program and to find a personto head the program." Presently,a national search is being carriedout by this committee for a per-son, probably an artist, to be thehead of the visual arts program,de Monchaux said.

The department is also com-mitted to hiring three more facul-ty members in the next threeyears, said Friedman. The com-mittee hopes that these newmembers will bring some ad-vanced techniques, such as newtheories about the teaching ofdrawing and painting, into MIT,said Friedman.

The committee's preliminaryreport should be out in March,de Monchaux said.

PAGE 20 The Tech TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1988

By Peter Dunn

This is East meets West, Northmeets South, Celtics versusLakers, Bruins versus Habs. Thisis MIT versus Caltech in a hock-ey game which the Engineers can-not afford to lose. Which Engi-neers? Good question. Tech,Engineers, Beavers - both teamsshare those monikers. This yearthe Beaver Cup will travel backto the West Coast as the Califor-nia techies wrested it back fromMIT with a stunning 5-1 victory.

Just kidding - although it'slikely that will be the story TheCalifornia Tech will run, sincethat was what the scoreboardread at the end of last Saturday'ssecond annual Beaver Cup game.In actuality it was the MIT men'shockey team that held onto aslim 13-0 lead to once again havethe honor of stuffing the covetedBeaver Cup into their puck bag.

Although it may have been aone-sided game, it was a gamethat was far from boring, fun forboth the players and the specta-tors. The stands were jam-packed, with nary an empty seatto be found - fans were sittingin the aisles for a chance of agood view. And with the seatsfull to the brim (with a largenumber cheering on Caltech, noless!), it was impossible that a

team suffered a close but exciting196.5-195.4 defeat at the Univer-sity of Vermont Saturday. Thescores were season highs for bothteams, and the final margin of1. 1 points was the smallest of anyof MIT's meets in the last threeyears. MIT, facing a more diffi-cult schedule than in past years,completed its season with a re-cord of 4-4.

Inspired by an enthusiastichomecoming crowd, Vermonttook an early seven-point lead onthe first two events. Al Acosta re-ceived the meet's highest score,9.0, for a dynamic floor routinehighlighted by a double back flip.Captain Bill Mitchell performeda difficult routine without anymajor flaws for a meet-high scoreof 7.45 on pommel horse. Astrong 8.0 floor routine by MIT'sMark Malonson '89, good forthird place on that event, keptthe Engineers from falling evenfurther behind.

MIT began its comeback whenco-captain Eric Reifschneider '89scored a season-high 7.2 onrings. Malonson and Jason Kip-nis G followed with scores of 7.2and 7.25, respectively. Kipniscompeted on five events despite apainful shoulder injury. Co-captain Norman Chen '88 com-pleted MIT's dominance on ringswith a season high 8.0; his ironcross and double back flip dis-mount earned him second placeon that event.

MIT outscored Vermont bynearly five points on rings, butVermont held a three-point leadafter four events. The Engineerserased that deficit on parallelbars, however, by scoring 36.5points, a new MIT record on thisevent. Alan Nash '89 nailed hisfull-twisting stutz, and Reif-schneider his full-twisting backflip dismount, to place secondand third on parallel bars withscores of 8.1 and 7.95, respective-ly.

MIT led by one point goinginto the last event, high bar. Theoutcome of the meet hung in thebalance as the final competitor,Vermont's Mitchell, mounted thebar. Mitchell responded to thepressure with an outstanding rou-

party mood not develop. It's un-fortunate that MIT spectatorscannot show this kind of fan sup-port for every hockey homegame. Maybe next year.

The party mood spilled ontothe ice as MIT played a casual,easy-going game. This was agame that the entire MIT teamwould be able to share in, with11 different players contributingto the 13 goal tally: Alec Jessi-man '88, Jeff "Norman" Bates'90 (2), Gary Nielan G, Rick"Surehand" Russell G (2), JoeJones '89, Mike Westphall '90,John Santoro '89, Brian Lutsch-witz '89, Young Shin '88, TomAllen G, and John Voccio G.

The MIT scoring started slowlyin the first period, with Jessimanand Bates scoring the only twogoals, the first on a shot from theleft point and the second off apower play drive by Russell intothe Caltech zone. Maybe the Cal-tech skaters were suffering froma little too much jet lag (after all,they were playing at 11 am, Sat-urday, California time - timefor lounging on the beach): theypassed and skated too slowly toever break through the MIT de-fense at their own blue line. Still,they got a few scoring chances onindividual drives up the ice, butcould never keep the puck in theMIT zone long enough to set up

tine including eagle giants and alayout, half-twisting frontflyaway dismount. His score of8.4 won the meet for Vermont.

Mitchell won every event ex-cept floor and the all-aroundcompetition with a total score of49.1, a new Vermont record.Reifschneider took second with apersonal record 41.3. Acosta wasthird with 41.1.

Despite the loss, MIT im-proved its chances for qualifyingfor the Division 11-111 NationalChampionships April 1-2 atSpringfield, MA. Qualifying isbased on the average of a team'sthree highest season scores. Thetop six teams in the nation quali-fy, and MIT is currently rankedfifth. Reifschneider, Nash, Chen,and Malonson all have a chanceto qualify for the individual all-around competition as well.

Arnold sets uneven bar recordin a bewitching

By Eric M. lReifschneider

Allison Arnold '90, a memberof the MIT women's gymnasticsteam, placed first on the unevenbars in Saturday's Eastern Colle-giate Athletic Conference Cham-pionships at Salem, MA. Ar-nold's score of 8.8 set a new MITrecord for uneven bars andearned her a. first-place tie with agymnast from Salem State. Ar-nold is the first MIT gymnastever to win an event at the ECACChampionships.

Arnold's routine flowed grace-fully from bar to bar with a vari-ety of release and regrasp moves

Salem routineincluding a straddle-overstraddle-back to a handstand onthe low bar. The highlight of theroutine was a combination ofconsecutive free hip circles tohandstands on the high bar. Shedismounted with a layout Hechtfrom the high bar.

Arnold also qualified for theall-around competition, but wasunable to compete on the otherevents because of a foot injury.The only other MIT gymnast toqualify for the meet was RachelMcCarthy '90.
