Voters nass Pr 21/2 override

By Tony ZamparuttiA proposal from the Executive

Committee of the Association ofStudent Activities (ASA) to taxstudent groups charging admis-sion for movies met considerableopposition from a very vocal andoften hostile audience at an openforum Tuesday evening.

The proposed ASA motionwould require "all groups thatwish to charge admission formore than three movies peracademic term at MIT to obtain amovie license for the ASA . .. thefee for the movie license shall be10 percent of the revenue that thelicensee collects at its movies, in-cluding admission, 'concession,and publicity revenues. . .. less 50percent of co-sponsor aid given toother ASA-recognized activites."

The proposal would possiblyend the Lecture Series Commit-tee's monopoly to charge adm is-Sion for movies; students couldnot agree on the motion's legal ef-fects.

The ASA Executive Committeeconsidered the motion April 4 butdelayed a vote pending an openforum on the topic.

"Absolutely no thought what-soever has been put into thisproposal other than the bottomline of the ASA getting money,"said Jay Pattin '83, Chairman-ofthe Lecture Series Com mittee(LSC). "I was informed the ASAwanted to put a ten percent tax onthe Coffeehouse, until they wereinformed the Coffeehouse marginis two percent."'

For the second year, a slate ofnine Harvard and MIT studentscalling themselves the CoopGroup, are stirring controversy inthe Harvard Cooperative Society(Coop) Board of Directors' elec-tion.

The Coop Group pledges to"make the Coop a cooperativeagent," said Coop Groupmember Meredith Kane, amember of the Board of Directorsnot seeking reelection. The ninemembers claim Coop manage-ment no longer puts student in-terests first.

Speakers signed up for five-minutes slots before he forumstarted. None of the speakersardently supported the movielicense fee. At the end of the plan-ned speeches, Samuel Austin III'82, ASA President, opened thefloor to debate.

The speakers stood in front ofthe audience, and were thenquestioned by the ASA executivecommittee. Austin told theaudience they could not ask ques-tions or make general statementsduring the speeches. Members ofthe audience made "points of in-formation," which became amechanism for general debate.

After one long comment, onestudent exclaimed, "hat's themost incredible point of informa-tion I've ever heard."

The ASA resolution "Doesn'tmake sense within itself, it doesn'tmake sense in the real world, andit shows an appalling lack of.responsibility,' claimed RichardSalz '84. "This thing is based onan amazing amount of ig-norance."

Salz contended the ASA- ex-ecuti've comrnmittee -.had nootresearched the history of LSC'smovie monopoly. He faultedASA plans to create a furniturefund for student activities: "Youdon't need to tax LSC 10 percentif you want to buy desks andchairs."

requiring a simple majority vote,passed by a vote of 10,222 to3,941, while Question Tworeceived 1,077 votes more thanthe two-thirds required for pas-sage, 9,787 to 4,355.

"We are not going to increasetaxes as a result of Tuesday'svotes," stressed Cambridge CityManager Robert W. Healy. Por-tions of the city budget will haveto be trimmed by $2.8 milliondespite the approval of QuestionTwo, to make up for increasesdue to inflation in fixed costssuchas pension benefits and construc-tion. Healy said the vote meansneighborhood health clinics andbranch libraries will remain open,the police and Fire departmentswill not face layoffs of 50employees each, and schoolfunding will remain at its presentlevels.

"The Coalition for Cambridge... deserves a lot of credit," Hea-ly said. The group led the cam-paign to pass the two proposals.

"The vote - shows," Sullivansaid, ' that Cambridge voterswant to see their basic govern-ment services maintained, and 1think that's going to happen. At'sa victory for progressive govern-ment in Cambridge.-

Healy is unsure if the city willagain ask voters to overrideProposition 21/2 next year. Arevaluation of Cambridgeproperty this year is likely to in-crease tax revenues, he explained,and city assessors will renegotiatethe in-lieu-of-tax payments madeby MIT and Harvard with thetwo schools. The payments haveremained constant since 1971, hecontended.

referenda Tuesday, allowing thecity to maintain property taxes atcurrent levels next year, despitethe cuts mandated by Proposition21/2, the property tax reduction in-itiative passed by Massachusettsvoters in November 1980.

"I'm very pleased," said CityCouncillor David Sullivan '74."The voters of Cambridge provedthemselves to be very intelligentand sensitive about theirgovernment."

Since both ballot questions pas-sed, Question Two, maintainingnext year's taxes an this year'slevel, will take precedence overQuestion One, which called for aproperty tax reduction of 71/2 per-cent, half that mandated byProposition 2 '2. Question One,

in Ballard House (New House 2)and an additional floor in 500Memorial Drive next fall, but notin MacGregor House. The an-nouncements were announcedyesterday at a luncheon of dor-mitory Presidents.

A chief reason for favoring theexpansion of women's housing inBaliard and 500 Memorial Driverather than MacGregor was thecurrent presence of women inother parts of those houses, ac-cording to Associate Dean forStudent Affairs RobertSherwood. "The essential reason[for not approving MacGregor'sproposal] is that we don't want toexpand too many living groups inone year, and New House and 500

Memorial Drive already hadwomen," Sherwood said.

"They thought they shouldfinish letting the houses that arealready partially coed finishbefore they started onMacGregor," commentedCharles Brown '84, co-author ofthe MacGregor proposal.

Proposals for changing single-sex to coed living groups are ac-cepted by the Office of the Deanfor Student Affairs (ODSA) everyspring, according to Brown, andare reviewed by an ODSA-organized committee of studentsand administrators. This year'sproposals were considered by thecommittee that is examingsorority proposals, Sherwood ex-plained.

Chairman, proposed at themeeting switching the funding tothe TCA budget. After an in-conclusive debate, this motion,and therefore the entire UAbudget proposal, was tabled.

Steve Thomas '83, SCCChairman, defended the proposedSCC activity fund, which wouldset a $40,000 endowment for Stu-dent Center events. He contended"The money would sit in the bankand do nothing for students" ifthe motion were not passed.Jonathon Hakala'81 complainedthe fund "discriminated againstall Walker Memorial activities,"but the motion passed anyway.

During the meeting, the GA

tabled approval of the 1982-83Undergraduate Asssociation

(UA) budget, approved the es-tablishment of the Student CenterCommittee (SCC) activity fund,and tabled a motion calling for astudent activity fee. The GA alsoelected embers-at-large for its ex-ecutive board as well as represen-tatives to the UA Finance Board(Fin Board).

While admitting "it is ex-ceedingly difficult to make anypredictions," Gray said Congresswould not abolish the GSLprogram, though it might tighteneligibility requirements or changethe interest deferral system. Thelatter change could double thecost of a loan by charging interestduring the years an applicant is astudent, according to Gray. Pay-ment would still not begin untilafter a student earns his finaldegree. Gray expected Congressto decide on the new GSL budgetby early summer.

The UA budget debatecentered on funding for theTechnology Community Associa-tion (TCA) secretary. The Boardallocated $8637 in the proposedbudget for an ASA secretary andno funds for a TCA secretary.

Coop Group members claimthe identical statements will con-fuse voters. "It looks weird," saidGuy Molyneux, a present CoopGroup and Board of Directorsmember. "[l've heard] a bizarrevariety of interpretations of whatit means."

''We know that thestockholders reserved the right toedit," said Eric Reiff, a CoopGroup candidate from Harvard,"but we bent over backwards towrite a very bland statement. Thisdidn't mention the words 'CoopGroup' - only 'member of aslate.' "

Last week, the Coop Groupfiled a grievance charging theirposition: statements includedwith ballots sent to Coopmembers were edited without theslate's consent and ballots weremailed earlier. than planned, un-dermining its ability to conductan effective campaign.

MIT Professor James D. Bruce'60, Chairman of the Coop'sstockholders, rejected the group'sgrievance last Friday.

Any competitor with LSCwould ruin both groups' profits.contended LSC members. In1976, the ASA barred the SocialAction Coordinating Committeefrom showing films with approvalof the LSC. That decision reaf-Firmed a 1966 Institute Commit-tee ruling that LSC is the only-'undergraduate organization oncampus authorized to charge ad-mission for showings of 35 mil-limeter films which wereproduced primarily for theAmerican commercial entertain-ment market." A 1976GeneralAssembly resolution to overrulethe ASA motion failed.

Other student organizations,such as the Chinese StudentsClub, presently charge for somemovies but do not directly com-pete with LSC, noted Jason Wel-ler '82, Vice Chairman of the UAFinance Board.

The participants could notagree whether present groupsother than LSC charging for oc-casional movies were violatingASA rulings.

A tax on movie admissionswould essentially come out Of stu-dents' pockets, slid Bill HofmanCt. "At least two of the largestrevenue-gener;ating activities arepublica tions," he noted. He sulg-gested an "across the board tax,scaled to revenue," to help stu-dent activities that need funds.

The audience applauded nearlyevery speaker who denounced theASA proposal. Nearly half theaudience were members of LSC.

Kenneth Segel '83, UA Presi-dent, declared "The ASA shouldmediate disputes between groups,not create them. Perhaps if theASA had consulted with thegroups they represent, this. allwouldn't be necessary ... Myfather always told me, 'if it isn'tbroken, don't try to fix it....*There is no problem with LSC.Look for a solution elsewhere."

Toward the end of the forum,several students decried thesquabbling of the meeting. "lfConstantine Simonides could see

'us, he'd be tickled to death," saidChristian Mackenzie'82.

Rather than squabble over eachother's funds. student activitiesshould ask the administration formore money, said Weller.

Student activity purchasingpower has fallen by one half sincethe early 1970's, claimed iakala.At the General Assembly meetingThursdav at President PaulGrey's house, students should"press that man to the wall for anincrease" in funding, he declared.

After several calls for greateradministration funding, ASAPresident Samuel Austin [1f '82announced the end of the forum.

"I think the public hearing wascrucial in dealing with thisproposal," said Arnold Contreras'83, ASA Treasurer, in closingremarks.

"What about the ... studentactivities-who have no way ofmIaking money?" asked Austin.

Jerri-Lvnn Scofield

Students who choose to attend M IT receive many benefits not adver-

tised in the catalogue. Every one expects to study basic science subjectsunder the tutelage of world-renowned researchers. What is not ofternadvertised is the privilege of solving problems under the watchful eyesof graduate students from around the world. MIT propaganda rarelyfeatures snapshots of vintage Cambridge weather, such as last week'ssnowstorm. The Administration almost never mentions, though, thateach student is allowed a specified number of all-nighters to be usedthroughout his MIT career.

No student knows exactly what the number is; rumor has it that itvaries. A fter all, a few M IT seniors are graduated each year without ex-periencing the exquisite after-effects of an academic all-nighter. Otherstudents pull all-nighters. regularly, as often as once or twice a week,seemingly at whim. Be warned, though: every MIT student is only a1l-lowed his share. If you squander them while on freshman pass/fail,

they will not be there the week before your senior thesis is due.During R/O week, the Dean's Office distributes many pieces of in-

formation that incoming freshman frequently rind helpful in their stay

at M IT. Campus Police distributes pamphlets about crime prevention.A booklet entitled Sex is disseminated. Information on Massachusettsalcohol laws is provided. With the inclusion of the recently completed

drugs book the C P's just completed, Joe Freshman may be prepared to

handle' most any contingency that arises, merely by consulting his

halndy-dandy pamphlets. Yet rarely are incoming freshmen equipped to

handle all-nighters. Virtually no information is currently printed on the

subject. To pull an all-nighter properly requires great skill, and MIT

should make the straight facts available to all incoming students. Fol-

lowing are some snippets gleaned from the upcoming booklet.

The First consideration for the person contemplating an all-nighter is

whether or not to use caffeine. Caffeine reputedly keeps you awake.

More often it makes you feel nauseous. That's okay though, because if

you feel sick you stay awake. Unfortunately, you can't get work done.

Caffeine comes in several forms, from tablets that rot your stomach to

24-hour Coffeehouse beverages that ruin your taste buds. For those

who don't want to try caffeine, try chocolate. It works just as well. It isusualily easy to procure, too, especially if you're not above stealing your

roommate's Easter bunny.

An essential question i~s where to pull your all-nighter. The Student

Center Library is a favorite spot. No one knows why. If you make it

poast the desk -where they always ask you if you're a student (Who but

al student would be in a library at Ilam?) and survive the trips to the

Col eehouse, the library atmosphere will do its work. Nso one wants to

stay in a place like that longer than is absolutely necessary. You] finish

what you must and leave. Falst. It is true what they say about nerds who

live in the library. Do you want to associate with people like that?

Another important issue to consider when pulling all-nighters is ef-

ficiency. Proper technique can increase efficiency. When you sit downto pull an all-n ighter, you must not expect to stay in one plalce all night.How boring. Propwer technique necessitates prlanning for at least twocold showers during the evening. They should be evenly spelced for ef-

1lectiveness. Sometimes the inevitability of another 4alm shower isenough to prod the most erstwhile procrastinaltor to finish his work.Sometimies it isn't. This leatnet is not designed to teach you how to

avoid alil-nighters. Your parents should have taught you that.

For those of you who do not want to pull aIll-nighters and know thatyou hatbitualily procralstinalte, there is one foolproof remedy: switchficheools. Then you wouldn't halve to stay up all1 night. Yeou co uld evenenjioy the weather.

To the Editor:The plans to inscribe the names

of M IT's Korean and \ ietnamwar de~ad in Lobby IO seem to meill timed and ill advised.This is atime of growing internationalconcern over what many be seenas signs of approaching war: abreakdown in comnmunicationbetween the superpowers, in-creasingly belligerent public state-ments, severing of scientific andcultural exchanges, and dramaticincreases in military budgets. Ourpresent government is run by menwho see all world conflicts as aconfrontation between our way oflife and that of the Soviet Union.They have made the vocabulary

of nuclear annihilation com-monplace and appear ready to.destroy _the world in order to saveit.

While I do not think theKorean or Vietnam wars ad-mir~able, I respect the memory ofthose who died in them. Many ofthem were dedicated, and manywere brave. Most were caught upi n events beyond their control.This is what must change.Although M r. Reagan and hispals Haig and Weinberger havenot learned the central lessons ofKorea and Vietnam, we mustendeavor to. Lessons about thelimits of military power in a

changing world. Lessons aboutthe difference between officialpronouncements and reality. Les-sons about the responsibility ofindividuals to think criticallyabout and to participate in theforeign policy decisions of theirgovernment. We cannot afford tofall into the familiar patterns -both sides arming in the name of"defense", marching to war forideology and economics, and inthe aftermath, buildingmemorials to the dead.

In lobby 10 we have the view-point -of President Walkcer con-.cerning the "Great War", aslightly obsolete reference toWorld War 1: "'Only victory re-mains and a fame forever secure".This is nonsense. Victory does notremain. In recent years is has beendi fficult to tell what victory is.What he called fame can as easilybe looked at as a kind of grim fol-lY.

I do not oppose the idea of amemorial. However a mere list ofnames, with no indication thatanything has been learned, or thatany serious thought, has been given

Ito the prevention of way strikesme as an inappropriateremembrance of the dead and adangerous disservice to the living.

A fter approximately one yearait M IT, I've made many observa-

tions which I now feel obligatedto make public since I am un-questionably not the sole bearerof these thoughts.

MIT, like virtually all comn-munities, is plagued with dis-saltisfaction, Although some com-plaints may be valid and war-ranted, the vast majority areridiculous and merely express theinability of individuals to displaygratitude and happiness.

One obvious example is the in-cesslnt. hissing that pervades lec-tures and LSC movies. Now we;1ll reili~ze that 8.02 lectures arenot the most fun you can havewith your clothes on but theprofessors are up there workinghard and can do without the.snake impersonations. I f lectures

America's image, and drivesmoderate factions into Moscow'scrushing embrace. The lessons ofIran and Nicaragua m ust belearned: America must notabandon its commitment tohuman rights by backing everydespot who claims to be anti-Soviet.

Arms control and human rightsare of crucial importance, butaiding the faltering Sovieteconomy is not. A President will-ing to spend 1.6 trillion dollars infive years on the Pentagon shouldbe willing to embargo all USgrain to the Soviets. The Ad-ministration should ceaseproviding high-technology goodsand concessionary loans to theSoviet bloc and must urgeAmerica's allies to do the same. Agrain embargo could be highly ef-fec ti ve b ec a use i t wo ulIddemonstrate US commitment to

at significant economic cost. Afirm W~estern stance againstaiding communist economieswould weaken the Soviets andforce them to mnoderate theirbehavior.

Ronald Reagan's approach tomilitary spending is also flawed.The Administration hassquandered billions of dollars ondestabilizing and unnecessarymilitary items such as the MXmissile, B-1 bomber, neutronbomb, increased warhead produc-tion, and civil defense planning. Ithas accelerated the trend towardscostly, complex,, and un reliableweapons systems. According to arecent Army and Air NationalGuard report, the result of thispractice has been "a fundamentalcontradiction between what wehave and what we need. Conse-quently, there is' not enoughprocurement to equip the total

refused to face the politically dif-ficult question of dealing with thePentagon's manpower shortage.A program of voluntary nationalservice, military or civilian, in ex-change for funding of a collegeeducation would not onlydemonstrate American deter-mination but also allow manyyoung people to serve theircountry and earn an education.

The Soviet threat is very real;Reagan Administration policieshave only aggravated tensionswithout coping with the problem.By selling arms everywhere andsupporting tyrants, RonaldReagan has undermined one ofAmerica's greatest strengths: itstraditional support of individualliberty. If the US does not standfor freedom, what does it standfor? The Reagan Administrationshould ponder this question as itformulates US security policy.

The purpose of all these com-pilations is to help employersidentify MIT students they wouldlike to hire. Employers generallyhave two reasons for wanting thelists. O~ne is that they have largenumbers of openings and they areanxious about getti ng enoughcandidates. The other is that theyare not getting the range of can-didates they would like - notenough mechanical engineers, notenough blacks, not enoughwomen, etc. In short, the lists al--low employers to make a widerselection. There is nothing in thisthat is the least bit discriminatory.Most of the employers come oncampus recruiting and any stu-dent, whether he or she is on a listor not, is welcome to have an in-terview with any employer look-ing for candidates in his disciplineand at his degree level. Indeed weoften intercede to introduce stu-dents and employers who havenot previously thought of eachother. We respect restrictions anemployer imposes legally - forexample, if he requires a can-

citizen or a permanent resident-but otherwise we insist on therecruiting process being as openas possible.

I think anyone who has usedthe office and not simply come tothe office ''to meet someone" a1s the letter writer says he did -

knows how open we are. We willeven do ;all we can for someonewho thinks we are racist and saysso in an anonymous letter to TheTech. We will be generous and as-sume that he hasn't thought mat-ters through. Does he realize whathis letter seems to say about hisown behavior? To call our list ofminority students ''racist",without bothering to ask how it isused, sounds pretty racist itself.Would he have been equally upsetif the list he had seen had beenour list of women students? And Iwon't call it cowardly - but itcertainly seems to indicate a lackof courage- if he cannot discuss

his concern with us directly butprefers the safety of Cananonymous letter to The Tech.

How terrifying does he or shethink we are? It is awfully difficultnot to prejudge him. Or does hehave the decency, after all, toidentify himself and apologize?

Drums Along the Hudson, The Bongos onP VC Records.

And now ... from the metropolis ofHoboken, New Jersey ... .The Bongos!Though they're hardly a new band, DrumnsAlong the Hudson is their first domesticrelease and it's drawing rave reviews. Theaccolades are well-deserved. This is abright, fun power pop record with plenty ofhooks and catchy melodies.

Over the past two years, the Bongos havereleased a couple of fine singles, and theseare thankfully included in this album.Several of these songs, including "In theCongo," "Glow in the Dark" and"Mambo Sun" are real standouts. Theirmusic echoes much of the best of 60's rockand soul from the British Invasion groupsthrough Motown. This doesn't mean thatthe Bongos sre a revival group; they've alsoabsorbed a lot of the best influences fromrecent years as well.

The Bongos aren't post-punk in theusual sense of the term, although the sen-sibility is there. The closest comparison isprobably to a few late 70's bands like theBoys who managed to temper punk's angerwith the melodic sense of power pop. TheBongos, like last year's debut favorite U2,have incorporated bits and pieces of thepost-disco electronic dance sound. UnlikeSpandau Ballet or the Human League, theyincorporate these influences very sparingly.

Although the previously releasedmaterial is the catchiest, there are some finenew songs as well. "The Bulrushes"preceeded the album as a single last fall.It's another killer. Many of the other newsongs show the group venturing off into ex-perimental territory. The diversity ofmaterial makes this a debut of unusualbreadth.

It's hard to Find much fault with theBongos' melodies. Their lyrics take a littlemore getting used to. For the most part,

they take a single image ("Telephoto Lens" by albums from top artists who were silentor "Clay Midgets") and use it as a last year. It's good to have a top-rate debutmetaphor for some aspect of modern life or album to add to the roster, even, if it's fromlove. In this respect, they are somewhat a group who's -actually beer around for asimilar to Talking Heads. The lyrics are couple of years. Drums Along the Hudson issparse; some songs have only a half-dozen more than a great title. It's a collection oflines. Only once- do they really falter - excellent songs from an- exciting and in-"Video Eyes" is a rather trite warning novative American band.

Sleepwalking, by Med Wolitzer,published by Random House. hardcover,$12.50.

This book is an inspiration for all of youwho sat through your high school Englishclasses listening to the teacher recite poetryand wishing you were elsewhere. MegWoltizer tells of a sophomore atSwarthmore College in Pennsylvania,Claire, who has become obsessed with thepoetry of Lucy Ascher. Ascher committedsuicide when she was about Claire's ageand her poetry is Filled with musing ondeath.

In fact, Claire and two of her friends areso absorbed with poetry about pain anddeath (although not necessarily the samepoetess) that they are nicknamed the"death girls." Throughout the whole novelWolitzer maintains an air of believabilityexcept for this one point. I have never beento Swarthmore but I cannot imagine aplace so strange that three girls could ac-quire such a nickname and have it univer-sally known. They even dress alike in blackturtleneck sweaters. Do you get the feelingthat a subtle cliche is building here?

Anyway, the story opens with the "deathgirls" in the middle of one of their all nightpoetry reading sessions. You don't find outthat these girls sleep at all until abouthalfway through the book. There are othersimilar instances where you have to just ac-cept things and wait until later for thelogical explanation. It seems that (sigh)Claire is-disturbed, and Laura is on theverge of a nervous breakdown, and Naomiis bored.

Before you think that the situation is justgoing to degenerate into utter chaos, Ishould tell you that these girls do manageto solve their immediate problems, after afashion. Laura stops attending classes andstarts going to see a psychiatrist. Naomistarts sleeping at night and decides to lether bleached hair grow out. And Clairetakes a- lover named Julian. Julian isfascinated by Claire. He questions herabout the obsession and eventually gets herto reexamine her life and her devotion toLucy Ascher. And she comes to the conclu-sion that she can't come to a conclusion.

So ... she leaves Swarthmore, Julian,and her parents and hires on as a live-inmaid to Lucy Ascher's parent. During thetime that she spends there she meets and

Then, Julian arrives and, well ... maybeyou can guess the rest. Throughout thebook we are treated to flashbacks Of thedeath of Claire's brother from leukemia, toLucy's first attempt at suicide, and to someof the rest of their childhood. This is nice.You have many of your questions whichcrop up in the first two chapters answered.But it would have been nice if there hadbeen some kind of order. A person whoisn't concentrating could be caught offguard and have a little trouble figuring outjust what year it is.

However, all in all, this is an interestingstory if you care what effect death of aclose relative or friend has on those who areleft alive. Also, it is an interesting study ofthe effect of death on those who die justbefore the end comes. And don't worry.You won't have to think back to your highschool English classes since this is a studyof people and not poetry.

Most Of us, myself included,discover that the social at-niosphere here is far more pleas-ing and enjoyable than mighthave been expected andoverwhelmingly compensates forthe stress imposed on the student.Parties abound and if the fact thatwork too is omnipotent disturbsyou, maybe this isn't the place foryou.

REPRINTED FROMv THE HERALDBy SUSAN V. HANDS

Staff writerGetting the right eyeglasses isn't as simple

as nvany consumers think. Eyeglass manufac-turing is imprecise, but you don't have to set-tle lor less than the perfect pair.

The Herald American took ai doctor'sprescription for nearsightedness andastigmatism and ordered identical glassesfrom eight Boston-area opticians. When thedoctor, George Garcia of the MassachusettsEye and Ear Infirmary, checked the glasses hefound:

*No two pairs were the same._ Only one pairs matched the prescriptionperfectly; ulttouph four others fell within ac-ceptabile tolerances.

nOne pair was flagrantly wrong: two otherswere wrong enough to affect vision slightly.

in the Herald American's sample of eightpasirs, five were acceptable to Dr. Gurcia,although only one matched the prescriptionperfectly. The two pairs that were slightlywron~g had no discernible effect on thewearer's vision. The same was true for the re-

jected glasses, although Garcia said thesewould hamper the vision eventually.

The cheapest glasses, made by appren-tices at The Optique, were also thefurthest off. Yet the second-cheapest pair,made by technicians in the central lab ofthe Community Opticians chain, were theonly perfect match.

By John DeRubeisLast Monday the MIT lacrosse

team brought its record to 1-2,dropping its second straight gameto a tough Westfield State teamby a score of 18-10. However, thescore was not indicative of theEngineers' talent .

MIT had problems early, let-ting Westfield jump out to quick3-0 lead. Stuart McKinnon '82got MIT back into the game byscoring Tech's first goal.However, Westfield rallied withsix unanswered goals to pushMIT further arrears.

Tech soon struck back, as JohnLaplante '82 scored MIT's nexttwo goals, followed by McKin-non with his second goal of theafternoon. The half ended withMIT 1own 1 1-4.

Tn· second half was a corn-o. different game. After be-

ing .)tally disrespected for the

first 30 minutes, the Engine,,,rebounded with three goals fromiHarry Lipschitz '82, and one eachfrom Laplante, Mark Johnston'84 and Allen Powell '84. MfITchanged the 11-4 thrashing fromthe first half to a 7-6 deficit the se-cond.

Coach Walter Alessi wassomewhat disappointed with histeam's performance ("they'renever going to win if they keepplaying like that"), despite thestatistics. MIT outshot Westfield47-35 by the end of the game. Itshould also be noted that West-field scored most of its tallies onbreakaways, while MIT scoredmost of its goals from a set of-fense.

Wednesday, MIT bouncedback to roll over Merrimack 15-7.Laplante connected four times,while McKinnon scored once andhad a team record seven assists.

Chipping,,in were Mike LaRow'82, Greg'Czuba '83, and MikeAmbrogi '85 with two goalsapiece. The Engineers led 4-0after the first quarter, and by 10-1at the end of the first half, as theycontrolled the contestthroughout. Next on the scheduleis Trinity, here tomorrow at 2pm.

players. It wasn1t a bad job per.se.What got to me was the watching.

The best thing about baseball-any sport- you see, is being ona team, counting on your team-mates, and your teammatescounting on you. Jocks have abad rap from. the rest of theworld, but the tightest groups, themost loyal fellows I've ever met,are jocks. Ten years from now Icould call up a highschool tem-mate to whom I haven't spoken inthe interim, and he'd still inviteme to his home for a drink,volunteer to put me up for thenight, and insist that I sleep withhis wife.

The worst thing -about anysport is being on the periphery ofa team, being. there but notbelonging, not being "goodenough." It hurts to stand aroundand watch. M IT only loses byscores of 15-2. That eleven-rundifference between here and highschool is too much to make up.

So I'm hanging up my spikes atthe end of the year. CoachO'Brien's been great to me, givingme every chance, but it's time forthe fat kid with the slow curve tocall it a career.Though, my new knuckleball

fleav come around over the sum-mer.

and the bases loaded late in thegame. We were trailing 26-2. Thecoach deemed it safe to put me in.I induced the batter to ground outback to me.

When I came to M IT, I thoughtI could play For the Beavers. Afterall, they were Division III, and Ihad added a spitball which brokeLi foot (unfortunately, it was thebatter's foot).

I was coming back from break-ing my ankle the spring before. Ihad been shagging flies, you see,fnd someone hit a screaming liner

to my right. As I got to it, the ballsliced on me, and hit my trailingleft ainkle. The coach said it wasthe only thing he'd sever seen meoutrun.

When I got here in the fail, Iwas a little out of shape. The walkto Briggs from DuPont, for exam-ple, had me in the dry heaves. Iran into at kind of Catch-22. Inorder to get into shape, I neededto pitch a lot, but in order to pitchAt all, Coach O'Brien wanted meto be in shape.

So I became the manager,which meant that I kept thescorebook (unless the othermanager was there), practicedstanding in the outfield doingnothing, and took abuse from the

I think it was somewherearound the seventh inning ofM IT's eventual 1 1-5 loss to Bow-doin two Saturdays ago when Imade my decision. It was a cold,drizzly afternoon. The windswhipping across Briggs Fieldadurribrated the blizzard to comethree days hence. My h lnd. werefreezing, my nose was raitning,and I had the nu. I am, you see,the manager of the varsitybtseball team.

In another incarnation, I was apitcher. I was not a good pitcher.My out pitch was the slow curve.My only pitch was the slow curve.I \vould survive for an inning orso, because the shear slowt ness ofthe thing totally screwed up a bat-ter's timing.

My high school did not have agood baseball team (naturally, Iwas on it, you see). There were

two find only two "highlights" tomy career between the chalk linesthere. One was when I played JV.I str(;ked i three-run double withmy eyes closed at the starting.right Fielder in the game where webroke an oh-for-two-years losingskein.
