Chairman gone, NomComm starts lateBy Buzz Moschetti

The Undergraduate Associ-ation (UA) Nominations Com-mittee elected a new chairmanlast week, following the unex-pected departure of former chair-man Daniel S. Hoskins '83.

After two unsuccessful atetempts to meet the required five-member quorum, the ten-membercommittee met October 14 andelected David Libby '85 chair-man and Robin Barker '85 vicechairman.

By Tony ZamparuttiA state referendum question on

nuclear power plants and nuclearwaste disposal could "cause a sig-nificant threat to MIT activitiesand [other institutions'] activitiesin the state," Provost FrancisE.Low warned at Wednesday'sfaculty meeting.

Question three on the Massa-chusetts ballot November 2would declare a moratorium onbuilding nuclear power plants,and would also set very strict reg-ulations for low-level nuclearwaste disposal sites.

Most public debate on the ref-

erendum has concentrated on itsfirst provision, the moratoriumon new power plants.

"'I think it is something weshould vote against and talkagainst," Low said.

MIT and many other Massa-chusetts institutions send radio-active waste to the state of Wash-ington for disposal. Federal regu-lations "will allow ... otherstates to restrict" waste sites, Ra-diation Protection Officer Fran-cis X. Masse told the faculty.

In effect, producers of radioac-tive waste will have to find dis-posal sites in the region.

Low-level radioactive waste in-cludes all radioactive waste ex-cept spent nuclear reactor fuel,Masse said.

MIT generates such wastefrom its reactor, neutron physicsexperiments, chemical scintilla-tion analysis, and various biologyand other experiments, Low toldthe faculty.

If an in-state waste disposalsite cannot be established, MITmay have to stop activities thatgenerate such waste.

Many other Massachusetts in-stitutions generate low-level ra-

fourth of a series examining cutsin the Institute budget.)

MIT budget cuts will not affectstudent employment this year, ac-cording to Lucy M. V. Dinin, Di-rector of Student Employment.

Dinin said 800 students- beganworking on campus in Septem-ber, 50 more than last year. Morestudents are working fewer hours,she noted, but the total payrollrose faster than the minimumhourly student wage, now $4.90.

On-campus student employ-ment provides over half the self-help budget not covered by loans,according to Leonard V. Gal-lagher '54, Director of StudentFinancial Aid.

"We want maximum flexibilityin the self-help level through loanand job opportunities," Gal-lagher said. Increasing financialaid costs were a major reason forInstitute budget cutting, he saidearlier this month.

Students must provide as muchas S4,000 of their expensesthrough work and loans thisyear, Gallagher continued.

Half the money earned oncampus during the academic year- about a quarter of the totalannual earnings - is used tomeet the self-help requirement,Dinin estimated.

The Undergraduate ResearchOpportunities Program (UROP),

Housing and Food Services, andMIT libraries provide about halfthe on-campus student jobs.

The UROP office took stepstwo years ago to encourage facul-ty support of undergraduate re-search, and budget cuts have notyet affected the program, accord-ing to Associate Professor Mar-garet L. MacVicar, Director ofUROP.

The Institute provides UROP

with $250,000 annually from un-restricted funds, MacVicar noted.The major source of funding -$1.1 million last year - was re-search budgets.

Faculty support for UROProse from $73,000 nine years agoto its current level, MacVicarcontinued. Although federalfunding of MIT research droppedrecently, she said it has not yet

(Please turn to page 5) By Tony ZamparuttiThe faculty discussed proposed

changes in freshman evaluationpolicies Wednesday but did notvote on the plan presented by theCommittee on Educational Poli-cy (CEP); discussion of'the planshould continue at November'sfaculty meeting.

Debate centered on the CEP'splan for a formalized system ofhidden grades spring term.

Although the CEP has thepower to enact many of the pro-posed provisions and "to conductexperiments," Chairman of theFaculty Felix M. H. Villars wouldlike the faculty to vote on the'proposal, Professor Harvey Sa-polsky said. Sapolsky, AssociateChairman of the Faculty, chairedWednesdays meeting because Vil-lars was absent due to illness.

The CEP also recommendednew freshman evaluation formsfor the end of fall term. The fallterm forms would use a "check-box" system to evaluate freshmanperformance.

With hidden grades, ProfessorArthur C. Smith claimed, "Eachstudent will have a more accuratepicture of what his performancewas second term."

Smith, a member of the CEP,presented the committee's pro-

posals to the faculty. Many fresh-men, he noted, do not returntheir evaluation forms at the endof spring term. "As of now, wehave not had success with" thepresent evaluation forms, Smithnoted. "Another mechanism Isthe registrar's grade sheet."

Under present regulations, in-structors should initiate evalua-tion forms for freshmen that donot submit them.

"The faculty has failed in theprimary form of evaluation,"Professor Robert 1. Hulsizer, Jr.,PhD '48 declared. "I think it isridiculous to invent an internalgrade sheet just because the fac-ulty can't fill out the forms."

"The existence of letter gradesshould not be unduly traumatic"to freshman, Smith claimed. Inaddition, the hidden freshmangrades will be useful when stu-dents meet with their sophomoreadvisors, he said.

"Up until the [CEP] report ap-peared in Tech Talk the CEP re-fused" to release drafts of theirproposal, Kenneth Segel '83, Un-dergraduate Association Presi-dent (UAP) told the faculty. TheUAP has speaking rights at fac-ulty meetings.

The Nominations Committee,which nominates undergraduatestudents for positions on facultyand presidential committees, waswaiting for Hoskins to call fallhearings to select students fornomination to the Institute com-rnittees.

Mary Morrissey,. director ofthe Information Center and linkbetween the MIT administrationand the committee, initiated asearch for Hoskins when shecould not reach him for names ofhis committee's nominees.

UA President Kenneth Segel'83 gave Libby and other mem-bers permission to open the com-mittee's UA office mailbox, Lib-by said. The group found uno-pened letters dating from as farback as August.

new projects for the year endingJune 1,'-1983, Brown said. He es-timated the board will actuallyneed about $1l,000 for new pro-jects over the course of the year.

Finance Board funding has notincreased appreciably in the pastten years. "In real dollars, ouractivity budget has declined overthe past decade," Brown said.

The only large increase in thepast ten years, he noted, was$11,000 added to the budget forthe 1981-82 fiscal year. Studentsand the UA General Assemblyprotested that the administra-tions original allocation to theUA was too small in spring 1981.

The Finance Board also has$59,000 in reserves in an MIT ac-count, Brown said. The board ac-cumulated the money in the early1970's from unspent budget

-funds. The board uses interestfrom this money for student ac-tivity capital expenses and to paythe debts of bankrupt activities,according to rown.

(Continued from page 1)been able to provide the CEPwith suggestions, Segel said. Nev-ertheless, "student reaction hasbeen strong."

"Giving hidden grades doesnot result in the CEP's goal" ofproviding students with more in-formation on their performance,Segel declared.

Segel read last week's GA reso-lution opposing the CEP plan,calling instead for a faculty-initi-ated check-box system at the endof spring term.

Student Committee on Educa-tional Policy (SCEP) Chairmanand CEP member Steven Barber'84 discussed this check-box sys-tem with the registrar, who saidit was feasible, according to Se-gel.,

The GA also declared anychanges in pass/fail should beginnext year, rather than upon pas-sage by the faculty.

"The CEP plan is seen by stu-dents as a first step in a plan toeliminate pass/fail," Segel added.

"As far as I know, the CEP.has not discussed" Barber's pro-posal, Smith said in response to aquestion from the faculty. "Ithasn't been in existence verylong."

The student proposal "repre-sents what we're offering as acompromise to the faculty," saidJames Taylor '84, a student mem-ber of the CEP.

"Past student members of theCEP did agree" with the propos-als on freshman grades, Sapolskynoted. Barber and StevenIsakowitz '83 are new membersof the CEP; Taylor was on theCEP last year.

The CEP sought student input,Associate Professor MargeryResnick contended, but did notreceive any. Student/facultymeetings have had "more facultyrepresentatives than students,"she said.

Hidden grades would have apositive effect on students, Res-nick said: '*Students would nowhow they are doing." Hiddengrades will also help students ad-just to official grades sophomoreyear, Resnick declared.

"There is such a severe joltwhen students approach thesophomore year," Professor Mar-garet MacVicar'65 said.

"There is no evidence to sug-gest . .. hidden grades mighthave this desired ramnping effect"to adjust students to sophomoreyear grades, Segel replied. "It'sjust conjecture."

"The great majority of theCEP wanted to protect pass/fail"in this proposal, Smith said:"Many faculty have reservationsabout pass/fail."

Chicago economist wins Nobel prize - George J. Stigler, a pro-fessor at the University of Chicago, won the 1982 Nobel MemorialPrize for Economic Science.

too, and the Richard III posterwas up before the GAMIT danceposter.) In Lobby 7 our dropposter was stolen Wendesdaymorning. I have personallymoved posters of at least four or-ganizations because they wereput on top of our posters. Threesets of posters havre been put upand removed from the 77 Mass.Ave. doors to the Institute.

I would like to remind every-one that whether they like GA-MIT or not, not only does no onehave the right to tear down ordeface any organization's posters,but also that the printing and dis-tribution of posters is an expen-

sive and time-consuminlg process.Our problem is multiplied be-cause so many people choose torip down our posters. Currentpractice is to print -up more thandouble our estimated need for asingle-saturation coverage of theInstitute and continually replacetorn-down or vandalized posters.This is a serious waste of bothmoney and manpower.

So, as you're standing in frontof the bulletin board consideringripping down a poster, any post-er; think twice. Especially ifyou're ever had to poster a build-ing.

To the Editor.I would just like to say that I

am appalled at the lack of con-sideration shown by other stu-dents apnd organizations with re-spect to'GAMIT's CRASH 1Idance posters.

I have beenl part of the poster-ing campaign of the past weekand since Saturday evening Ihave postered Lobby 7 and theinfinite corridor three times each,Walker Memorial twice, and theWest Campus Dorms and theStudent Center once each. All ofthe posters I originally placedand most of those that I put upon my second trip through thecorridor are now gone. Withinthe first two hours I had to re-place about 25-30% of them. Asimi lar situation occured inWalker. Of about 20 posters putin the student center, only one re-mains.

Wednesday evening, while pes-tering Next Hlouse, I put twoposters on their main bulletinlboard, one in each elevator, andone on each floor's bulletinboard. As I was coming downfrom the fifth floor, someonecalled the elevator I was ridingfrom the fourth floor. When thedoors opened, I saw that the -onlything left of our poster was thescotch tape and the corners ofthe paper. I got off the elevatorand replaced it. When I got backon the elevator, it was going upto the fifth floor with other pas-sengers. I got on and had to re-place the poster in the elevator.The group in the elevator got offat the fifth floor, and I saw thatthat poster, too, had vanished,for a total of three. I replacedthat one and noticed the elapsedtime between putting up the firstposter on the fourth floor andputting up the current poster wasabout five minutes. In NewHouse about six posters havegone up and come down againwithin the first twelve hours afterhanging.

Undersanding Igraduate students

(with apologies to Sharon Trombly, The Graduate)Understanding the MIT graduate. Why should this matter to you,

the MIT undergraduate? Well to begin with, approximately half of theMIT student body is comprised of graduate students. If you are anundergraduate, you may be dealing with these creatures on a regularbasis, so a few commnents on their idiosyncracies and perceptions ofyou, the undergraduate, may be useful.

First of all, it is obvious there is a sch~ism between the graduate andundergraduate communities. Excluding TA-student contacts, the typi-cal undergraduate deals with only five or six graduate students on aregular basis. Often, this is more than sufficient to satisfy curiosityabout how the other half lives.

Muchl of the interaction between graduate and undergraduate stu-dents. is in the academic arena. Freshman recitation sections are oftentaught by graduate students; thus the undergraduate's first perceptionof the graduate student is as a teacher rather than a fellow student.This feeling is often exacerbated by the graduate student's not oftenveiled attempts to demonstrate he has more knowledge about the sub-ject of his course than any mere undergraduate could amass in a life-time. They often deliberately forget that facility with quantum physicsis not always acquired after first exposure.

As you progress at MIT and learn more about your discipline, youwill begin to notice that graduate students, too, are mortal. They oftenfeel compelled to comment more in classes, regardless of what theyhave to say. In fact, when you begin to take upper level courses, youmay wonder why some graduate students were allowed to qontinuetheir studies. After listening to many of their questionls, it may seemstrange that they usually receive substantial stipends to study at MIT,while undergraduates are asked to pay for the privilege. If this seemsinequitable, don't despair. As long as you don't protest too loudly youtoo may someday be admitted to graduate school,'have your tuitionpaid for, and be expected to promote your Weltenschaung amonggroups of harried undergraduates.

It will often seem like many of your professors are more -concernedabout their graduate students than they are about undergraduates. Acertain amount of this is to be expected. To a veteran physics profes-sor, some eccentric graduate student's musings on unified field theorymay be more interesting than yet another undergraduate's struggleswith elementary mechanics. Just remember, most of your professorsare here primarily to conduct research, not to teach. Graduate stu-dents provide an inexhaustible source of inexpensive, docile, well-trained labor. If you wonder why you pay 8,700 hundred dollars ayear to attend courses taught by graduate students, don't complaintoo loudly. They are often better instructors than professors.

One of the graduate student's favorite social activities is complain-ing about how much~work he has to do. This mnay seem a bit astonish-ing, especially when you realize most graduate students do not registerfor more than four courses a semester, but it has some basis in fact.After all, graduate students are supposed to make important originalcontributions to their fields. They do not have to spend many hourslearning about seemingly unrelated topics because the Insitute require-ments demand so. While you may feel it is too much to expect tocram six years of often repetitious work into four years at MIT, lookon the bright side. When you become a graduate student, not onlywill you be asked to assume a lighter course load, but you may bepaid for it as well. You won't even have to worry about satisfying yourdistribution requirements.

In general, graduate students are not all that different from otherMIT students. They are generally more fluent at explaining how muchsmarter they are and how much more work they do. If you think it isimpossible to surpass MIT undergraduates in this respect, just drop bythe Muddy Charles some day. Graduate students too enjoy going tothe movies, sending out for pizza, taking road trips, and doing -otherfrivolous things-one associates with college life. They just don't admitit, preferring to make you think they spend all their waking houlrs andmany sleeping ones as well making important theoretical contribu-tions to their discipline. If you are able t6 remember that you too may.someday be a graduate student, concerned with impressing professorswhose recommendations may mean the difference between a job atHarvard and a job at the University of Wichita, dealing with graduatestudents becomes quite easy. It should not be viewed as loweringyourself to their level, but should be treated as a foreshadowing ofwhat you may become. The experience can provide comic relief toyour years at MIT, and should be pursued at every opportunity.

(Continued from page I)ago to arrange a meeting laterthis month to submit his resigna-tion and elect a new chairman,according to Libby. Libby, al-ready working to convene thegroup, told Hoskins the commit-tee could not wait for his return.

The committee resolved at theOctober 14 meeting to formalizeprocedures, such as taking min-utes and having regular meetings,to ensure similar problems do not

occur again."What [the Nominations Com-

mittee] basically needs now isstudent interest," Libby said. It isalways better, he declared, tochoose nominees from "a largepool of candidates," rather thansimply placing a single candidateon a committee, a problem thecommittee faced last spring be-cause of lack of student interest.

Although the committee is at aslight disadvantage this year be-

cause it did not place its annualinsert describing the functions ofInstitute committees in The Tech,Libby noted, it is getting orga-nized, and "definitely has apromising future."

The Nominations Committeewill hold its interviews for Insti-tute committee nominations Oc-tober 30 from noon to 5pm andNovember 2 from 7Dm to 9pm in'Room 400 in the Student Center,Libby said.

Registration for Physical-Educa-tion Classes for, the second quar-ter will be held Wednesday, Octo-ber 27, from 8:30-1 lam in the du-Pont Gymnasium.

Seniors who wish to apply forgraduate work in the Departmentof Electrical Engineering andComputer Science during 1983are urged to apply by November1, 1982. Applications can befound in rooms 38-444 and 3-103.

dioactive waste, especially hospi-tals and universities.

The state referendum questionwould require the planners of anyproposed waste disposal siteprove to the Massachusetts legis-lature the site uses the best possi-ble disposal techniques. Voterswould then accept or reject anysuch disposal site in a state-wideballot, according to Low.

The ballot question would alsoplace stringent requirements onany regional agreements for low-

level radioactive waste disposal.Massachusetts is presently in-volved in a regional negotiationover waste disposal. "'We mightwell be excluded from those ne-gotiations" if the referendum ispassed, Low warned.

"The first problem,7 Low said,is that "this is question numberthree, and question number fiveis the nuclear freeze referendum."The public often- confuses the is-sues of nuclear waste, nuclearpower plants, and nuclear war,he said.

Megatest builds the finest LS1 testers in theworld. Our systems test more microprocessors,EPROIMs and Bubble Memories than anybodyelse's. They have broken all industry records forreliability. They have altered the way people thinkabout'device testing.

We've attained this standing in the industrywhile remaining a small, friendly, employee-ownedcomnpany. How? By creating an environment thatrewards creativity, effort and results, not politicking,

rank or tradition. And by emphasizing neat ideas

more than neat desks and neatt dress.

The Job

We are now designing new test systems

which will handle the 'super-chips" of the future.

These systems will require astoundingly powerful

computers and near-perfect analog support circui-

try. They will be specified in terms of picoseconds,

nanoamps and gigabits.

We need people with as much potential as

our new systems in the following areas:

Computer Scientists (language processors, interactivedevelopmnent tools)

Analog and Disgital Engineers (high-speed ECL gatearrays and hybrids)

Marketing Engineers (combines technical and marketingskills)

The Potential

The range of professional opportunities at

Megatest is almost unlimited and we've perfected a

management style that makes it possible to move

freely among them. You follow your instincts and

ambitions. If you've got potential you can unleash it

ing under control, we should be preparedfor yet another invasion, and this time itcomes from our Western shores. The Val.ley Girl phenomenon, catalyzed by FrankZappa and his daughter Moon with theirlatest hit, "Valley Girl," has brought tonational attention the lifestyle and slang ofthe trend-obsessed teenagers of Califor.nia's San Fernando Valley: Characterizedby their miniskirts, headbands, and affin.ity for makeup, these upper middle-classsuburban youths can be found in shoppingmalls and department stores searching forthe latest fads and "cute dudes."

What cartoonist and writer Mimi Pondhas accomplished in her soon to be pub-lished book, The Valley Girls' Guide toLife, is a quasi- entertaining handbook onhow to talk, act, dress, and think like a"Val" - as if anyone, judging from thedescriptions the book provides, would everwant to do something like that. The booklists the "necessities" (a boyfriend, a blowdryer, a Walkman, and at least one goldchain), "status symbols" (a health club

Romeo and Juliet, performed by the Bos-ton Shakespeare Company, directed by Ga-vin Cameron- Webb.

The BSC opens its 1982-1983 seasonwith an entertaining if unnatural perfor-mance of Shakespeare's most famous ro-mantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Theproduction is very well staged, particularlythe fight scenes, and it is well-acted allaround, with special mention to HenryWoronicz (the Hamlet of last year's BSCseason) as a very bawdy and very dynamicmodern punk Mercutio.

Yes, that's right. punk. The BSC's newartistic director, Gavin Cameron-Webbcould not find it in his heart to set theplay in Verona, as did the world's greatestEnglish playwright, but instead felt that adifferent, more contemporary locale wasneeded. Unfortunately, he did not chooseNew York City (a la West Side Story) butinstead selected Belfast, Northern Ireland,with the Prince as the head of the ma-chine-gun-wielding British occupationforces.

While Northern Ireland contains muchthe same senseless hatred and feuding thatShakespeare put between the Capulets andMontagues, the similarity ends there. Ifthe Capulets and Montagues are differentsides of the feud in Northern Ireland, thenthe British Prince would not be the unbi-ased arbiter he seems to be. Moreover,having Romeo and Juliet of different reli-gions would raise serious questions thatare not answered in this prodution. If Ro-meo and Juliet are, on the other hand, ofthe same religion, on the same side, thatis, then why bother setting the play inNorthern Ireland?

The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet cer-tainly does not illuminate the tragedy ofNorthern Ireland because the two reallydo not mesh. And needless to say, the Bel-fast setting does nothing to illuminateShakespeare's timeless masterpiece.

The setting does, however, force theBSC to ornit or change all references toVerona. Although Shakespeare felt that theinevitability of the death of the title char-

acters was important enough to the play'stheme to reveal to the audience the play'stragic ending in the first 14 lines of theplay, the BSC cut the opening sonnet, per-haps in part because it includes the line,"In fair Verona, where we lay our scene."The BSC also cuts the 50 or so lines ofRomeo's poignant dialogue with the im-poverished Mantuan apothecary.

In spite of these problems, in spite ofthe unlikelihood thiat a modern day Julietwould be considered for an arranged mar-riage at the tender age of 13, the referencesto Northern Ireland are really only annoy-ing when the machine-gun-toting Britishtroops are around, and the modern daysetting mainly serves to save the BSCmoney on costumes.

The play remains powerful and moving,although the BSC still has a tendency toassume its audience has seen the play be-fore, and they downplay the scene inwhich Ro meo and Juliet are supposed to

Yet, once this scene is past, Mark Rob-bins is acceptable as the lover/revenge-kill-er Romeo, and Jacquelyn Riggs delivers afine interpretation of the tough role of the13-year-old Juliet in jeans.

While most of the actors eschew anIrish accent, the three best do not. Theseare Sandra Shipley as Juliet's loquaciousnurse, Joseph Gargiulo as the crafy FriarLawrence, and, or course, YWoronicz asMercutio, who engages the whip-wieldingTybalt in a dazzling street fight.

The productions serious flaws, the set-ting and the editing, are presumably all thedirector's' fault. If you can tolerate thesechanges, then you might enjoy the play, ifonly to watch the actors circumvent aquirky director.

A Peter Gabriel album is more than justmusic, however, it is also a vehicle for hiscryptic lyrical insights. Security is chockUll of impressionistic wordplay; only afew of the songs make their meaning clear."San Jacinto" seems to deal with an Indi-an tribe's refusal to leave their land, "LayYour Hands on Me" is a portrait of a des-titute soul seeking solace in a fundamen-talist religious rite. and "Wallflower" is aballad expressing sympathy for the '"in-sane" - in Gabriel's universe the only dif-

ference between sane and insane is whichgroup is behind the walls. As for the restof the songs, your guess is as good as mine- it will be a long time before anyone de-ciphers "The Family and the Fishing Net."

Security is an album worth the the twoyear wait. Repeated listenings reveal Ga-briel's substantial compositional and lyri-cal talents, despite the minor failures. It'sgood to know that the rhythm has finallyclaimed his soul, now all he must do isproclaim it freely.

Castenon hopes MIT canachieve some lofty goals, includ-ing a first Northern Intercolle-giate Athletic Conference (NIAC)championship, repeating as ClassA champion, bids to the EAIAWand national NCAA Division IIIchampionships. MIT has alreadyrecieved a bid to the Massachu-setts champioship.

The coach admits these goalsare quite ambitious, especially foran academic school like MIT."The NCAA only invites 28teams, for example. And now, ofcourse, everyone is psyched outof their brains to beat us."

MIT's achievement this year isincredible, Castenon - observed."To have this particular group ofwomen climb within reach ofthese goals at this point in theirseason has been remarkable."
