ernment activities whose groupswould be affected by passage ofan amendment to the Undergrad-uate Association Constitution,support the basic tenets of theproposed amendment, but criti-cize its structure.

The amendment describes ajoint committee between a newUA council and the GraduateStudent Council (GSC). The un-dergraduates will vote on theamendment tomorrow.

The joint committee would"promote student organizationsand activities, and be responsiblefor the recognition and annual'review of all student organiza-tions," the proposed charterstates. This duty currently fallsunder the domain of the Associ-ation of Student Activities (ASA)and the Graduate Student Coun-cil (GSC).

The joint committee wouldnot, however, be able to allocatespace or funding, according toDavid W. Jensen G, president ofGSC. Jensen supports "the prin-ciples of a joint committee ingeneral," he said. ";The specificsare yet to be debated, " he added.

The GSC would be able to re-voke the charter, even if the itempasses, he explained. Ratificationof the charter requires a two-thirds majority vote by the GSC.

By Burt S. KaliskiTwo teams of students seeking

the top offices of the Undergrad-uate Association are displayingcampaign posters that violatefederal copyright law.

Each team's campaign posteruses material from Berke Breath-ed's comnic strip "Bloom County,"which is owNned by the Washing-ton Post Co. Neither team has re-quested permission to reproducethe material.

David M. Libby '85, an an-nounced candidate for the UA His posters contain copies of

several "Bloom County" strips,each a satire of presidential poli-tics. Libby's posters change thewording of a comic strip to in-clude MIT issues.

"Dave Libby's poster is actual-ly a take-off on the actual car-toons," Gunther said.

Breathed, Gunther claimed,would approve of the posterssince they are inspired in muchthe same manner as the artist'scareer. He referred to a recentlecture at MIT by Breathed inwhich the artist discussed "alliga-tor egg" pranks.

The campaign posters, none-theless, include duplication notgranted by copyright law. Exemp-tion, according to chapter one ofthe code, is permitted only for"fair use."

At one of the most outstandingengineering schools in the coun-try there is a student servicegroup, and for argument's sakeNve will call it TCA. TCA putsout a picturebook every year withthe pictures of the entering lresh-man class, along with a few hackpictures.

There also exists at this univer-sity a yearbook - we will call itTecihnique- which has a rnas-cot, "Grogo the gorilla."

There also exists a newspaper- we will refer to it as The Tech- which prints editorial cartoonsridiculing various aspects ofmodern society.

And now, here is the story Ofthree Grogo incidents that afflict-ed this campus.

Grogo

In the fall of 1977, The Fresh-man Picture Book appeared withseveral hack photographs, includ-ing "Harvey Grogo," from Kam-pala, Uganda.

Reaction to the picture wasswift, and absurd. The presidentand chancellor of this schoolspoke out against the pic ture,saying that "the symbolism of' thephotograph has been seen as aracist slur entirely unacceptablein this community. We sharethis view."

The stall' of TCA insisted thatthe picture was intended as a-hack, and that it was not intend-ed to be a political or racist com-ment.

Two sets of' charges wherebrought up before the Committeeon Discipline in relation -to thisincident. A professor called forthe expulsion of the picsturbook'sstudent editor, c laiming the edi-tor should have been aware thatinclusion of'the picture containedone or more of the following im-plications:a. That the gorilla is a mem-

ber of the Freshman class.b. That the gorilla is a citizen

The second set of charges, filedby an assistant director of admis-sions, charged the TCA staff wasinvolved in a cover-up behind theinsertion of the picture, andcalled for the expulsion of the en-tire staff.

In the end, charges against thestudents were dropped. Whenasked why he dropped charges,one of the accusers said "nothingfurther was to be gained by per-secuting students."

Grogo 11Two years later, a picture was

inserted in the Freshman Picture-book with the caption "HarveyGrogo, Technique, MIT." Thehead of TCA noticed the inser-tion, and quickly checked withthe Dean for Student Affair's of-fice concerning the picture. Thestudent staff agreed to eradicatethe picture with black ink. Later,the students and the Dean's Of-fice worked out an agreement tocover the picture with a blank ad-dress sticker instead, so that thepicture on the reverse side ofGrogo would not be destroyed.Higher administration officialsf elt that address labels wouldmake it seem like "a game," andso it was decided to cut theGrogo picture out of every pic-turebook. Unfortunately by do-ing this they also cut out the pic-ture of Maurice Hendon '83.

Grogo III

On Jan. 26, 1983, The Techran an editorial cartoon showinga gorilla in a zoo cage, with thezoalkeepers saying "'We are luckyto get him - he had a footballscholarship until the NCAAraised its academic standards."

toring is the next best thing tobeing there.

"T" is a cognitive science ma-jor very interested in neuros-cience because he is a heavydrinker who wants to be able tooptimize the use of his ever-dwin-dling quantity of brain cells. Likeall good psychology majors, Mr.T (no relation) is very good atmaking up pithy epithets aboutthe human condition. My favor-ites are "A mind is a terriblething to have" and 'if you're notwasted, the day is."

Course XXIV has two pro-grams, the first being more tradi-tional philosophy and metaphys-ics and the second beingLanguage and Mind.

"U" was the kind of personwho treated 'How are you?" liketwo separate and infinitely moreprofound questions ".How?" and"Are you?" and her response toboth was "How should I know?"Ms. U was obsessed with findingthe meaning and purpose of life.Once, half jokingly, I told herthat she was the kind of personwho gives purpose to everyonewho does not give purpose tothemselves. She was confused formonths and to this day does notknow if she gives purpose to herown life.

Ms. U was master (mistress) ofthe devastating syllogism. Herbest was:I) Human beings who go to MITare very smart.2) You go to MIT.3) Therefore, you are not a hu-man being.

Ms. U is the source of this co-lumn's Least Insignificant Bit ofEducation Learned (LIBEL).Here is the LIBEL of Ms. U inCourse XXIV: She said to meonce, "Did you know that thetheme song of Course XXIV isLet's Get Mletaphysical by OliviaNewton-John-Paul-Sartre."

"V" was really into linguistics.He was always correcting people'sgrammar. He canme from a prepschool so absolutely correct thatthey used to cheer "Two, Four,Six, Eight, whom do we appre-ciate." Mr. V loved bizarre wordsand phrases. His favorite word is"mytacism" which is "excessiveor wrong use of the letter "rm,"or Of the sound it represents, asin writing or in defective speech.

His favorite self-referentialsentence was: "If I was going toavoid the subjunctive, this wouldbe the sentence." if you' considerthat the subjunctive is only forcondition contrary to fact, youwill realize just how annoyingthat sentence is. Or maybe youwon't. As Mr. V used to say, it'sno skin off my teeth, whateverthat means.

Courses IX and XXIV are forlearning psychology, philosophy,linguistics, artificial intelligence,machine vision, and for findingout why the philosopher went tothe diner and ordered a chicken-salad sandwich and an egg-saladsandwich to see which came first.

Stay tuned for Courses Xlland XIII and what sorry excuse 1have for lumping them togetherin the same column.

Right now, potential Course VImajors are contemplating a deci-sion that could destroy the veryfabric of education at MIT.Shame on you.

Today's column is aboutCourses IX, Psychology, andXXI V, Linguistics and Philos-ophy. Normally, the people towhich I refer in my columns areat least marginally based on realMIT students. I do not actuallyknow any Course IX or CourseXXIV majors, but I plan tomake some up. I think that it isin the spirit of those departmentsto make mental constructs. Iknow that -it is in the spirit ofjournalism as practiced by Therec h.

The new Course 1X undergrad-uate major in Cognitive Scienceoffers a potential alternative toCourse VI majors who want tolearn Artificial Intelligence. Infact, if you want to get involvedwith computer vision, Course IXis the place to go. You know adepartment is doing serious com-puting when you can take morethan half of the restricted andunrestricted electives combined inCourse VI, including the famousStructure and Interpretation ofComputer Programs (6.001).

And do not worry too muchthat many of the applications ofcomputer vision are defense re-lated, because many of those ap-plications are for increasing theresolution of satellite-based tech-nologies necessary for verifyingarms control treaties with the So-viet Union. Remember, telemoni-

To the Editor:I write concerning Time Tech's

editorial of March 2, 1984, "Eth-nic slurs show lack of judge-ment." The Tech is to be con-gratulated for taking up the issueof racism - a matter so rarelyreferred to in its pages that onemight infer it did not exist atMIT. I trust The Teeh will nowgo on to investigate, for example,why there are practically noblack professors in the human-ities at MIT (I can think of one;two, it' Science, Technology, andSociety is considered a human-ity), or why many Arab andArab-American students feel har-rassed at MIT.

I also want to thank Thte Techfor putting me in the company ofJesse Jackson, whose candidacyfor the presidency I strongly sup-port. One reason I do so is thathe has been unafraid to speakout on behalf of a negotiatedpeace in the Middle East-onethat would recognize the legiti-macy of a Palestinian state to ex-ist alongside Israel. For advocat-

ing a policy accepted by the vastmajority of countries in the Unit-ed Nations and by a substantialmajority of Americans, JesseJackson has been hounded bymany major American Jewishand Zionist organizations. TheAnti-Defamation League, for ex-ample, has not hesitated to stirup racist sentiments in its attackson Jackson. This is the contextof my "referring to blacks as'schvartzes.' " The remark Imade to a member of the MITZionist Alliance was certainly notintended as a "joke," as your re-porter claims I said. It was an an-grv ironic reference, made by oneJew (me) to another, to the rac-ism of the attack on Jackson byZionist zealots: to these folksJackson is just another "schvart-ze." I apologize for assumingthat a Tech reporter would un-derstand that irony is not a joke.

All of this is, of course, littlemore than a ploy to divert peoplefrom the purpose of the confer-ence at which the remark wasmade: the attempt by many peo-

ple in the United State to changeour government's policy in rela-tion to the Middle East. Current-ly, that policy encourages themost war-like factions on allsides, supports the Israeli occu-pation of the West Bank and theGaza Strip, and courts the pos-siblity of nuclear war.

If apologies are due to theMIT community, they are owedby the MIT Zionist Alliance forits constant harrassment of anyevent which tries to explore apeaceful way out of the deadlysituation in the Middle East, andby The Tech for helping in di-verting people from the real is-sues.

Those who are interested inworking for a peace with justicein the Middle East, whether theybe Jewish, Moslem, Christian,secularist, whoever - shouldcontact the MIT Committee onthe Middle East.

Pornography dispute isfoolish- and unvanwrted

((,vnliuea jrom page 4)The president of this engineeringschool wrote a letter to the editorcomplaining about this comic.He stated that "I believe that ifwe had a truly integrated comn-munity here -one in which di-verse backgrounds were under-stood, welcomed, valued, andshared - that such a cartoonwould not be found on the edito-rial page of The Tech."

There have been many similarincidents during the past fewyears, including Thu.rsda 'y's"Consumer's Guide to MITMen," the "MacGregor Desk In-cident," and the censoring of theResidence Handbook by the ad-ministration .

The point is that people on thiscampus suffer from offensensiti-vity. People look for things totake offnse to, and then overre-act to the extreme. This is truefor a lot of people at MIT, fromthe students to the administrationleaders. It is stupid, and, pardonthe phrase, offensive.

The Grogo incidents are pri-mary examples of this, Implicit inanyone's reaction that these inci-dents were racist is a fundamen-tal belief that a gorilla is closelyrelated tos a black person. When Ilook at a gorilla I think "goril-la,"5 not "black." For anyone todo otherwise is extremelv racist.

When other people th ink"black" for "gorilla," it is theirproblem. However, they assume Iam racist also, and that when Isay "gorilla" I mean "black,"' anassumption which I personallyfind demeaning.

The freshman picturebook forthe Class of 1987 contained a pic-ture of "Skywise," a bizarre car-toon character, who, the booksaid, was from Poughkeepsie,New York, - my hometown.Should I take that to imply thatall the people from Poughkeepsieare bizarre and unreal?-The pic-turebook also contained Opusthe penguin, a character in thecomic strip Bloom County. Doesthat imply that the, Class of 1987is full of comical penquins?

The problem of offensensitivityis evident in the current furorover the registration day film. Agroup, of women complains aboutthe registration day film becausethey feel it is demeaning to wom-en, and many people think theregistration day film should bebanned because it is offensive tothis minority.

Offensensitivity.The primary argument against

showing registration films is thatthey a re demeaning. to women.This argument is ridiculous.

First, half the audience at thesefilms are wvomen. Are they de-meaning themselves by watchingsex in a movie? I suggest that thepeople protesting the registrationdays film talk to these women andfind out why they lower them-selves by seeing these films.

There are certain types of filmsthat are degrading to women."Sadism. and Masochism" filmsand bondage films usually enactlow-level peverted male fantasies.1, for one, would find those d e-meaning to men and women and-would protest the Lecture SeriesCommnittee ever showing them.

The type of pornographic filmthat LSC does show is fairlystraightforward, and after youhave seen one or two, boring.After all, se-x is a theme with fewvariations. If the scenes in thismovie are demeaning to women,then they are just as demeaningto men. Those who find thesemovies offensive should not tryto regulate my mind.

One can also argue these filmsserve an educational purpose.

They provide the average MI1Tstudent an opportunity to see agenre of entertainment that he orshe would not otherwise see. Iwould rather see an X-rated mov-ie and decide I dislike pornogra-phy than never see it and neverform convictions about it oneway or the other.

If the protestors are seriouslyoffended by films degradingwomen, why do they not protestJames Bond films instead? JamesBond is more degrading to wom-en than any pornographic film Ihave seen on this campus.

This all brings us back to of-fensensitivity. People who sufferfrom offensensitivity are sensitiveto being easily offended. Thesesame people assume that everyone else is just as easily offended,and they react accordingly.

Not all of us suffer from offen-sensitivity, but those who domanage to make life difficult forthe rest of us. It is good to besensitive to the plight sof others,but some people get carried away.But perhaps I am just oversensi-tive to others' oversensitivity.

THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICSAND POLITICAL SCIENCE OFFERS YOUTHE CHANCE TO STUDY IN LONDONMr. Jim Potter, Senior Tutor, General Course Students, will visitM.I.T. on the morning of Thursday March 22nd to interviewstudents interested in spending their Junior Year at the School,or In doing graduate work there.

Mr. Potter's timetable is being arranged byMs. Marism Oommen, Co-Ordinator ofForeign Study. I

carry him through the daily rou-tine, and so learns his lessons asto pass examinations more or lesssuccessfully, and in four yearstakes a degree, still a boy, of larg-er growth, with little comprehen-sive grasp of the principles whichhe has learned and less ability toapply them to the solution of thecomplex problems of practicallife.

Either of two directions forself-improvement [the student]might have followed by wise useof an extra two years.

From The Tech, Friday, March9, 1934 (Volume LIV, No. 9)

Informal canvass on five-dayweek plan conducted - Theplan, now under consideration bythe Faculty, involves the sugges-tion that all classes be concen-trated in the first five days of theweek, leaving Saturdays free forstudy and research, as well ascultural development and relax-ation.

rmom the canvass:

From rite Tech, March 12, 1884(Volume Ill, No. 2)

One of the various require-ments for admission to the first-year class is that applicants shallhave attained the mature age ofsixteen. Probably few are ex-cluded by this provision, but un-questionably many enter who fallbut little over the line. As certain,changes have recently been madein the preparation required, uni-formly tending to raise the stan-dard, it has seemed to us at leastpossible that a similar advance(of perhaps two years) in the age-limit, though entailing additionalhardship, would prove beneficialboth to the student and to the In-stitute. ..

We can only regard this char-acteristic American haste to "getthrough" school as a grave evil.For why should the youth putaway his books, and rush head-long into active life before he hasreached a man's estate legally ormentally? The doctor, the law-yer, the clergyman seldom enterupon the practice of their respec-tive professions before the age oftweenty-four; and why should ourgraduates begin theirs at twentyor twenty-one?. . .

It is by no means our wish to'detract from the well-earned hon-or, not seldom attained by theyounger men, in their work hereas well as in the after-life; but,writing after careful deliberation,we say, with confidence, thatmany a boy comes here fresh

from the high-school, too oftenwith barely enough strength to

Professor William T. Hall: "Idisapprove of anything thatmight lower the standards of theInstitute. However, I find thatmany men, after dances on Fri-day night, are hardly suited toclasses the next morning."

From The Techl editorial:With the undergraduate bend-

ing under the burden of a weekof forty-eight hours or more, it isnow suggested that all classes becrowded into five days in order tolet enterprising students seekmore culture and more research.

What the Institute needs is nota five-day, but an eight-day week.The student has all he can do tofind time to sleep under the pre-sent system, and no decrease inclass days without a correspond-ing decrease in work hours, willaffect his leisure hours. Witnessye editor who was informed ofhis twenty-first birthday by a let-ter from home, two days afterthat event.

David Libby and Stephanie ScheiWhat does the UA do for you? Nothing?

Think about what it could do:-an outdoor cafe on the Walker veranda-an Oktoberfest in the Fall (similar to

Spring Weekend)-buses to the Worcester Centrumrn for

concertsWe want your government doing useful;

interesting projects rather than gettingbogged down in trivial bureaucraticsquabbles.

We want student opinion to have a realinfluence on the admninistration's deci-sions. This means taking part in the Insti-tute's decisions rather than merely react-ing to them after they are made. Effective

communication between students, the stu-dent governemnt, and the administrationis needed, especially on critical issuessuch as Course VI overcrowding, need-blind admissions, tuition costs, and bud-get cuts.

Experience is vital in dealing with theadministration on sensitive and complexissues such as these. Through our involve-ment in acitivites we have become famil-iar with the system and know how to dealwith it.

We want student government to workfor you.

1. Establishment of a constitutionfor the organization.2. Pre sentation of a petition,signed by at least five MIT stu-dents, stating the desire to formthe organization.3. Filing of a list of officers, amailing address and teleph(nenumber for the organization.4. Maintenance of five full-timeMIT students in the membershipof the organization.5. All voting niemrnbers of the or-ganization must have official MITstatus (i.e. students, faculty, staff,spouses, Wellesley students).6. All officers of the organizationmust be full-time MIT students.7. The organization must file anannual financial report with anygroup from which it receivesfunding and furnish complete re-cords upon request.8. No activity may bar membersfor reasons of race, color, creed,sex, sexual preference, ancestryor religion.

Benefits of recognition

1. The right to use the MIT nameand facilities.2. The opportunity to receivefunding from the UA FinanceBoard and/or Graduate StudentCouncil.

ing to the Joint Committee mustbe considered by the other gov-erning body at its next regularmeeting. Any such legislationshall be in effect only after pas-sage by both governing bodies.

Any student organization shallhave the right to appeal any de-cision of the Joint Committee. Anact of the committee may beoverturned by a majority vote ofboth the Graduate StudentCouncil and the General Assem-bly.

This charter shall be in effectupon ratification by both the Un-dergraduate Association and theGraduate Student Council. Bothgroups reserve the right to with-draw the charter and all obliga-tions set forth or implied by thecharter immediately upon writ-ten notice.

The Joint Committee may en-act bylaws and amend them by amajority vote of the Joint Com-mittee and majority votes of thethe GSC and GA; amendmentsmay also be made by a two-thirds vote of both the GSC andGA.

Criteria for recognitionas a student activity

The Graduate and Undergrad-uate student bodies of the Massa-chusetts Institute of -Technology,recognizing the'neec for a uni-fied student voice to the adminis-tration and joint supervision ofstudent activities and resources,hereby establish the UA-GSCJoint Committee. The Joint Cornm-mittee shall derive its powerjointly Trom the Graduate Stu-dent Council and the Undergrad-uate Association.

The Joint Committee shall dis-cuss and make recommenda-tions on matters of mutual con-cern to graduate andundergraduate students, promotestudent organizations and activi-ties, and be responsible for therecognition and annual review ofall student organizations to en-sure compliance with the obliga-tions set forth in this charter.

The Joint Committee shall con-sist of four graduate students,elected from the Graduate Stu-dent Council, and four under-graduates elected from the UAGeneral Assembly. All represen-tatives shall be responsible totheir respective groups for 'theirperformance on the committee.

Any legislation enacted by ei-ther the Graduate Student Coun-cil or General Assembly pertain-

Elections for positions with three or more contenders - in thiselection, Class of 1987 president, vice president, and treasurer - willbe decided by preferential balloting. This system requires that votersrank the candidates for a position in order of preference.

Counting ballots for such a position may have several rounds. Acandidate must receive more than half the votes in a given round towin the election; otherwise, ballots of the weakest-finishing candidateare redistributed. These ballots are assigned to those candidates re-maining in the contest according to preferences: The remaining can-didate listed highest takes the loser's ballot.

Continuing connection between classmembers, and between our class and theInstitute requires an active alumni leader-ship. The responsibilities of the class offi-cers include maintaining these connec-tions, planning various events, and,ultimately, planning the fifth year reunion.

While at the Institute I have been in-volved in a number of activites, whichhave allowed me to exercise my abilitiesin leadership and organization, as well asparticipate actively as a member of severalcommittees. I take this interest and activ-ity into mind, as well as the acquaintance-ships and friendships I have developedwithin our class, in deciding to serve as aclass officer.

I have spent much of the last four yearsserving the Institute in various capacities,and I look forward to serving as the Classof 1984 Vice President.

and to maintain, if not further, our'affec-tion for this place and our class membersduring the next five years.

Office, and awareness of what the dutiand responsibilities of the job encompas

As current Class Vice President, I habeen instrumental in the organization arplanning of Senior Week activities- alreadunderway. I have made recent contacwith the Alumni Association concernirthe duties of a Class President during tlfive years following graduation, and locforward to working on our fifth reunicand planning numerous events priorthat. I am currently the class liaison to thAthletic Association in selecting an apprpriate class gift. Last term I formed a nework of personal contacts in each livirgoup who are notifited about class evernand supply the personal interaction necesary to stimulate suggestions and conments.

As a leader and initiator on campus fcthree and one-half years, I am expeienced in organizing and coordinatirboth large and small scale events, wheththey be an Alpha Phi dinner for 85 pepie, Spring WVeekend for the entire Mcommunity, or Senior Week events f(1200 of MIT's finest.

Individuals in our class have been in-volved in many aspects of Institute life; wehave not, however, interacted as a group.Before graduation I would like to see usleave our mark upon MIT, which hasgrown to be a great part of each one ofus. I anticipate that the Senior Week ac-tivities and the pledge program (for the

.class gift) will make this possible.I have served the MIT community as

chairman of Social Council, vice-presidentof my fraternity (Sigma Chi), the 1983TANK Chairman, and an associate advisor.I have enjoyed my stay at MIT because ofthe friendships I've made; I hope to keepin touch with and meet more of youthrough the position of permanent secre-tary.

The permanent class secretary is the pri-mary link between us, as alumni, and MIT.Through the "Class Notes" in TechnologyReview, I hope to keep us close to MIT

years are the people I have met and thefriends that I have made; they are the rea-sons why I can truthfully say that I en-joyed "the MIT experience."

One of the great rewards of involvementin extracurricular activities is the chanceto meet interesting people; this is partiallywhat motivated me to become involved inclass government as a freshman and thento stay actively involved' for all four years.Of course, there were other reasons aswell; for instance, I felt a strong sense ofaccomplishment and of competencewhenever I successfully completed someproject. It was definitely more gratifying toorganize a ski trip or a study break than tofinish a problem set.

These are the very same reasons i amnow running for Class Secretary. The Sec-retary has the most responsibility of anyclass officer after graduation; I feel thatnot only am I quite capable of handlingthis responsibility but I also would. verymuch enjoy it (I would be able to keep intouch with classmates and write in Tech-nology Review!). in short, I am both quali-fied and enthusiastic. Thank you for yourconsideration and good luck in the future.

One of the biggest problems with MIT'ssocial atmosphere is that it lacks class spir-it. Why? Because the level of the classspirit is directly related to the success andparticipation of class social activities. Thepeople who have been in charge of plan-ning those activities do the same thingover and over again or they do nothing atall. Some of these people have even comeup with a good idea every now and thenbut have not implemented it very well. Agood social chairman has to do more thanplan an activity and run it. He must beable to induce participation in the activity.I've spent the last two and one-half yearshere doing an awful lot of socializing andgetting others involved, and I can do thesame for our class.

My motto for our senior year will be"Go for it!" So go for it and vote for me associal chairman.

Vivienne LeeI have decided to run for my second

term as president of our class because Ithink I have the enthusiasm, organization-al ability, and experience to be the bestperson for the job. This year we accom-plished and sponsored more activitiesthan any other sophomore class has be-fore. We designed and sold a class T-shirt,sponsored a barbeque, ran the semi-annu-al ice cream orgy, held a number of can-dy/bake sales, organized a ski trip, and re-cruited new members through severalopen class meetings - plus we've keptyou informed through the publication ofour class newsletter! As the junior classnext year, we'll have more money andmore freedom to try new ideas and I'dlike to stay involved by continuing toserve as your president!

VICLt PKR5SIE:N ISharon A. Israel

At MIT, we too often get caught up inour heavy workloads and fail to take ad-vantage of the activities available to us.,We also face the problems of a lack ofclass unity and a lack of class spirit.' Asvice president of the Class of 1986, I in-tend to provide and support activities thatwill make our next year here fun and ex-citing. I served as vice president of Fresh-man Council, am a member of this year'sRing Committee, and have been an activemember of this year's Sophomore Coun-cil.

My primary goal as president will be toraise money so that we, as' a class, willhave the necessary funds for social events.Class oriented events (parties, trips, out-ings, etc.) will provide a social interactionthat living-group oriented events do not;in addition they will promote class unity,and make life as a student more appeal-ing.

Bryan MoserAt this point, student government at

MIT is essentially non-existent. We mustshow the students and administration thatthere is a need for student governmenthere. I believe in the need for this repre-sentation and a further involvement ofMIT students in their own affairs. I can de-sign no "platform," nor can I make anypromises to a student body that doesn'tknow the state of student government oncampus. The class of 1987 must becomeparticularly involved in student govern-ment, and set a future pattern of studententhusiasm at MIT. As '87 Vice President, Iwill support and organize activities whichbring our class together outside of stan-dard academic circles'. Until we changeour attitudes toward student government,we will continue to stifle our own voiceson campus. The MIT class of 1987 has avery important choice to make now.

This film has got a lot of heartHeart Like a Wheel, a 20th Century Foxrelease; directed by Jonathan Kaplan,screenplay by Ken Friedman, starring Bon-nie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Leo Rossi,Hoyt Axton and Anthony Edwards; ratedPG. At the Nickelodeon Theater, Ken-more Square.

Heart Like a Wheel, one of the greatsleeper movies of 1983, opened last year tothe raves of critics but not much fanfare.Ultimately, the film failed to draw crowdsto the theaters, and closed before mostpeople knew it existed.

Heart Like a Wheel is the story of Shir-ley Muldowney, a woman who succeededat drag racing. Before Muldowney becamea racer, men dominated the sport. Herpersistence, enthusiasm, and sheer talentearned her the irespect of the racing frater-nity.

The movie first- appeared in small towncinemas, where 20th Century Fox hopedthe drag racing aspect would make themovie popular with young people, hence afinancial success. The movie failed tocatch on, but critics who viewed the filmraved about its quality and depth. Al-though the studio moved the film to majorfirst-run theaters, it still failed to attractpublic attention. Quickly and ignomin-iously, the film closed before the Christ-mas season.

Things changed fQr Heart Like a Wheelwhen the film went back to limited distri-bution in progressive movie houses and onairlines; people who thought they couldnever sit through a.movie on drag racingwere moved by the story of Shirley Mul-downey. The studios realized that HeartLike a Wheel was one of the most power-ful movies of 1983, able to stand alongsidethe more highly-acclaimed Terms of En-dearment and The Right Stuff.

Bonnie Bedelia plays Muldowv-iey withjust the right combination of tough spunkand much tenderness. The movie opens inMuldowney's home town in Pennsylvania,where she starts racing with the encourage-ment of her husband, Jack (Leo Rossi).She runs her first race on a deserted two-lane road against another local, played by

Dean Paul Martin. Racing for fun inspiresher to' pursue the sport, which soon be-comes her obsession.

When she runs into roadblocks from theprofessional racing fraternity, she findshelp from Connie Kalitta (Beau Bridges), aprofessional funny car driver. Kalitta'smotives are not entirely honorable, andwhen he makes a pass at Muldowney sheresponds, "The only thing I do fast isdrive." The movie tracks the ups anddowns of Muldowney's life, touching onher family, her relationship with Kalitta,and especially her racing. Ultimately, shewins three National Hot Rod AssociationTop Fuel World Championships, an ac-complishment uniquely hers.

Heart Like a Wheel has that specialquality of being able to leave its viewers

with a warm feeling. Movies like Rocky IIIportray their characters in a very sancti-monious light, all the way down to havingsomeone on screen yelling "Go for it!"Heart Like a Wheel draws its viewers toMuldowney in such a way that we canshare both her feelings and her racing. Be-delia's portrayal of Muldowney is one ofthe best performances of 1983; it is thisrealism and depth that makes the moviegreat.

Heart Like a Wheel clearly outclassesmost of the past year's movies. It is ashame that its first run came up empty. SeeHeart Like a Wheel this time around; youwill be pleasantly surprised and taken bythis wonderful film.

Decorating when down in the dumpsLow Tech: Fast Furniture for Next toNothing, by Rick Ball, Dial Press, 218pp., $14.95 softcover.

I have always enjoyed scavenging indumpsters for discarded treasures. As thisbook demonstrates, one person's trash isanother person's furniture. The introduc-tion clearly states, "Low Tech advocatesthinking creatively, recycling objects thathave outlived their original use. Low Techis an attitude; high tech is a style." Thisapproach suits students and frugal ex-stu-dents well.

The book consists of a great number ofsketches detailing clever ways to build fur-niture at a minimum cost, accompanied bybrief descriptions. It is not suited forsomeone who wants clearly detailed plansand photographs of the finished project;its purpose is to encourage people to thinkcreatively about problems.

Perhaps the funniest sketch is that of anauto-lover's headboard. It is made froman old bumper and features tires for cush-ions and headlights for illumination.While I can't think of anyone who wouldwant such a headboard, it might be nicefor a car-mad child's bedroom.

Suggestions and sketches cover every-thing from yard furniture to kitchen fix-tures. The end of the book covers the exo-

tica of dealing with hardware and tools.Low Tech would be most- suitable forsomeone with experience with tools, al-though many of the designs are no morecomplex than making bookshelves withbricks and boards. Most designs require aportable electric drill, and several of themwould best be done in the Hobby Shop.

Is this book worth the money? It is, ifyou can't think of clever ways of furnish-ing your new apartment or adding storageto your dorm room. The section in theback on hardware and tools is reallyhandy if you don't have something similaralready. To be honest, it is the sort ofbook that would be good for reference,but it's not the sort to buy for a specificproject.

The Sunset Magazine series of books onfurniture are superior for individual pro-jects and usually cost less than $5.00. TheNomadic Furniture books by Hennessyand Papanek are a good compromise, giv-ing both ideas and plans, but the authors'constant philosophizing may be annoying.

I like Low Tech, but the ideas are notsufficiently novel to justify an unqualified"buy" recommendation. If you see it onsale, it would probably be worth pickingup.

Don't Feed the Fashion Sharks, the Darkon Relativity Records.

The Dark, not to be confused with theEnglish hardcore band of the same namewhich disbanded in 1981, are a group ofmusicians from the Boston area who havebeen playing together in local clubs since1980. Now, with their polished stage pres-ence and their dancable performances per-fected, the Dark have finally released a re-cord that captures the essence of their livesound.

Their first two records, the "Judy" single

IUIL~M 1_2_

and the Darkworld EP, were both pro-duced and arranged well, but neither fellinto the rhythmic groove of Don't Feed theFashion Sharks. The two earlier recordssimply lacked the energy that the Dark ex-ude in their live performances. The newEP features what the Dark have exhibitedall along in concert: a dancable rhythmsection with a funky bass line combinedwith the energetic vocals of Jace Wilson.

The Dark have long been hoping for na-tional radio airplay, and this record un-doubtedly has that potential. The appear-ances of Dark guitarist Roger Greenawalt

_ Es~~ g'~~ i _ _ a

on Ric Ocasek's Beatitude album and theirlong-time producer Walter Turbitt on Min-istry's With Sympathy album have helpedto direct national attention specifically tothe Dark, but also to the Boston musicscene as well.

Relativity Records and the Dark wiselychose the two songs "More Fun" and"Darkworld" to promote nationally viaearly release as a twelve-inch single. Thesetwo cuts have already slipped onto theplaylists of college radio stations and otherprogressive stations throughout the coun-try.

The entire Fashion Sharks EP is full oftruly great dance music. From the openingbars of "Better than That," a contempla-tive, dreamy tune, right into the drivingintensity of "Darkworld," it is difficult tolisten to this record without losing controlof the involuntary finger-tapping reflexes.The Dark have obviously been listening tothe best new music, and they have pro-ceeded to extract the rudiments and com-bine it with their own cheerful insanity.The result is vinyl that supplies the listenerwith a dose of creativity and sound inno-vation, as well as an unmistakable funki-ness that is destined to send this record to-ward local commercial success, especiallyin area clubs.

The clockwork steadiness of the ClarkGoodpastor/Matt Gruenberg rhythm sec-tion lays the necessary foundation allow-ing freedom for keyboardist Bob Familiarand guitarist Greenawalt to explore a num-ber of chromatic and atonal scales. They

also take advantage of breaks in the musicto lead the group back into the flow withone of their battery of modulating sounds.Greenawalt's guitar keeps an edge to theoverall sound by his non-modal soloingthat is intermittently reminiscent of RobertFripp's style.

Luckily, the music on this record is keptunder control despite the obvious strongindividual personalities and talents of theband members. The band is careful not tolet the sound get out of hand; none of thesoloing or fills are extraneous additions.The musicians show restraint throughoutthe record, allowing the various membersto take the spotlight at the appropriatemoment.

With all this in mind, it is still a bit sur-prising that the Dark refuse to take them-selves too seriously. In fact, they do noteven take their musical genre all that seri-ously. They poke fun at other new dancebands which have obtained more commer-cial success than they in the title track,"Don't Feed the Fashion Sharks":

No matter how highA Flock of Haircuts flyYou can still breakA record with a hammer.

The Dark have clearly adopted the healthyattitude of not pursuing any insights intohigher intellectual matters. They are com-pletely cognizant of their purpose, andthey state it concisely in the opening lineof Don't Feed the Fashion Sharks' secondside: "Hey, look - it's fun!"

Louise Jandura '84, a memberof the MIT women's basketballteam, was recently named to the1984 College Division Women'sBasketball Academic All-Amer-ica second team by the CollegeSports Information Directors ofAmerica (CoSID)A).

Jandura, a 5'8" forward fromClifton, N.J., was second onMIT's team in scoring with 10.4points per game. She also aver-aged 4.3 rebounds per game andwas third in assists with 42.

"She's terrific," said CoachJean Heiney, who coaches Jan-dura in both basketball and soft-ball. "She always gives a solid ef-fort and she's the kind of playeryou can depend on. She's a goodclutch player."

Jandura led the team in scor-ing in six games, including a 24-point performance in a 73-57 winover Bates. She scored 20 pointsin MIT's loss to Wellesley, netted18 against Wesleyan and in theEngineers' 88-20 rampage overSimmons.
