Initial progress has been made on the twelve proposalssubmitted to the administration by the Black Student Unionlast October.

In an interview with The Tech Assistant Provost PaulGray outlined the results of the efforts of a task forceappointed by President Howard Johnson to work on theproposals. The task force consisted of interested facultymembers, deans, administrative personnel, and members ofthe Black Student Union.

The task force has not had enough time to consider all theproposals submitted. The ones that have received the mostconsideration have dealt with the Institute's policies towardsadmiissions and financial aid. Gray explained that the mostsubstantial progress had been made in developing a programfor the active recruitment of Black students.

BSU to recruitIn an effort to interest more Black students in IMIT,

the Institute plans to support about 12 members of the BiackStudent Union for a recruitment drive at predoninantly Blackcommuhities. The students plan to spend about a weekapiece visiting the schools. Gray explained that many Negroesfeel "science and engineering, as careers, have not looked asattractive as other professions," and because of that, therecruiters will be 'working against a-bias at large in thecommunity."

Gray pointed out that the administration had beenworking with thle students on recruitment since September,before thc proposals were formally submitted. The backingfor the project will come from funds used by the AdmissionsOffice in its normal recruitment drive each year.. A gencralrecruitment grogram that reaches over 500 high schools everyyear has been in operation for 15 years.

Financial aid

One of the original proposals requested that, "Thefinancial needs of Black MIT undergraduates should be metwith full scholarship." On this subject, the task force hasworked out a. recomendation with the Faculty Committe on

ecosed m"eet

Undergraduate Admissions and Student Aid that, in effect,represents a compromise solution. The recomendationswould have to be accepted by the Academic Council beforebeing implemented.

Gray explained that it is the intention of the Institute to"recognize the different family situations" when grantingfinancial aid. He added that the present system of analysisdoesn't necessarily rele,t the lower income family needs inallocating aid.

Loans unacceptable

The other form of aid, the loan, may be unacceptable tounderprivileged Black students. Gray explained that the loanrepresents a difficult burden to a student who is at the timenot really sure he will complete his education at MIT. Inaddition, the student is likely to have financial obligations tohis family once he does graduate-a situation not normallytaced by the usual student from a middle-class background.

The task force, after considering such aspects of financingunderprivileged students. drew up a three-pointrecomendation. The first point is a request that the FinancialAid Officc reevaluate its procedures for determining the basicneed of students in order to assure that the prograin isresponsive to different economic levels.

Two year grantThe second point recommends that the Institute offer

Black students full scholarship up to need for the first twoyears. After that point, the student should be certain as towhether he will complete his education and the aid will thenbe based on the normal s.holarship-loan plan offcred to theundergraduate body.

The final recommendation involved the setting up of areview board which would have the duty to look at loanobligations of Black students after they have graduated. The

board would adjust repayment arrangements for graduatestaking low payming jobs of .ervice to the Black commtfnityor graduates with family obligations.

THE TECH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1968

MR. DeYOUNG: '

Dear Mr. -DeVoung:' Dear Mr. Clark:

"is Business Bluffing Ethical?" is a recentarticle which appears in the 1-arvaidBusiness Review (January-February 1968).In that article the author, Albert Z. Carr,raises some difficult questions about thenature of competition among businessorganizations and about the relationshipof a person's ethical and moral standardsto the conduct of daily business. Severalexamples of conflicts between ethics and"business sense" were" cited. Let'sconsider a concrete example.

Tom was a sales executive with a Southernfirm. He told of. an instance when he hadlunch with one of his most importantcustomers, a Mr. Colby. At the time oftheir .meeting, the state was having a veryheated political campaign over which'Tom Ind Colby were of differentpersuasions. Colby mentioned that he was-treasurer of the citizens' committeesupporting the candidate Tom opposed.Before the two men got down to business,Colbyasked if he could count on Tom fora $100 contribution to the Lang campaignfund. Tom's reaction was the following:""Well, there I was. I was opposed toLang, but I knew Colby. If he withdrewhis business I could be in a bad spot.So I just smiled and wrote the checkthen and there."

Upon discussing the matter with his wife,Tom found that she was bitterlydisillusioned with the business worldbecause it could put such pressures on aperson to go against his own values.Tom's perception of the incident was that"it was an either/or situation. I had to doit or risk losing the business."

Mr. Carr suggests that such situations arepart of the ""game"" which governS the.business world. He goes on to compareethical standards of business organizationstoday with the ground rules of a poker:game. ''Th~ ~S L, : .t ....indifferent to ethics in their private lives,everyone will agree. My point is that intheir. office'lives they cease to be V`ivatecitizens; they become game players whomust be guided by a somewhat differentset ofethical standards.' c

Finally, Carr cites a Wi'dwestern executiveas saying "So long as a businessmancomplies with the laws of the land andavoids telling malicious lies, he's ethical.There is no obligation on him to stop andconsider who is going to be hurt. If thelaw says he can do it, that's all thejustification he needs. There is nothing

:/unethical about that. It's just plainbusiness sense."

Mr. DeYoung, the student whom businesswants for its management ranks is notinterested in playing games where hemust maintain two identities and two setsof ethical values-one as a private citizenand one as a businessman. I would beinterested to know how you personallyreconcile the conflicts between yourethical beliefs and your "business sense."

Sincerely yours,

Gavid G. ClarkGraduate Studies, Stanford

Indeed there are some men of the calibreyou cite in business; probably in greaternumber than most responsibleexecutives know.

I suspect also that-there are manyinstances where a man like your salesexecutive, Tom, compromises his personal"ethics" to make a sale. But wasn't hetrapped by his own supposition? Didn't hewrite-off his own company's integrity,along with the history of the customer'ssatisfaction with their productline andservice backup, when he wrote the check?.

It strikes me that a little intestinalfortitude, and a tactful remark about hisown political convictions, would-havebrought the issue to a proper test:business based'on quality products andservice versus"bought" business.

If the man won't make the test, then heought not to make business a whippingboy because he chose to compromise hisown standards. If his employer won'tstand the test, then his choice is obvious:quit, and join a company whose standardsmeasure up to his own. in the long run hewill have done himself a favor because anethical man,.who is competent, always isin high demand. A posture aligned withhigh standards will gain more respect ofsignificance than any setbacks sustainedthrough loss of a few sales.

equates -business' ethical standards simplyto compliance with the law-it beingimplied that this falls short of whatsociety would expect-I question both hisawareness of the law's comprehensiveness,and his insight into most businessmen'smotivations.

Responsible executives don't makedecisions on the basis of legalper.missiveness; of seeing what they canget away with at the risk of courtingpunitive actions at law, or the public'sdispleasure. Those are negative yardsticks,and the thrust of business thinkinig thatinvolves moral judgments is affirmative.

Check product specifications, for example,and see how many exceed standardsestablished by regulation. Results: a better

WHO CARES ABOUT STUDENT OPINION?

BUSINESSMEN DO.'.

Three chief executive officers-- The Goodyear Tire &Rubber Company's Chairman, Russell DeYoung,The Dow Chemical Company's President,H. D. Doan, and Motorola's Chairman, RobertW. Galvin--are responding to serious questionsand viewpoints posed by students aboutbusiness and its role in our changing society...and from their perspective as heads of majorcorporations are exchanging views throughmeans of a campus/corporate Dialogue Programon specific issues raised by leadingstudent spokesmen.

Here, David G. Clark, a LiberalArts graduatestudent at Stanford,/is exploring a question withMr. DeYoung. Administrative activities in GreeceandAustria, ai9ng with broadening experience

quality product, greater performance,longer life expectancy.

Take re-training and re-assignment ofemployees to better-paying jobs requiringgreater skills when automation phases outvarious work slots. Results: morehighly-skilled employees, better-earningpotential, greater job security.

Consider the direct personal involvement ofmore executives, and the application oftheir company resources, in efforts to deal,effectively With such urban crises asghetto unemployment. Results: more localemployment, a step toward self-help, abroadening base for stability.

None of these actions are compelled bylaw... they are taken voluntarily bybusinessmen acting under the compulsionof their personal ethics. It is the beliefsunderlying such actions that I regard asthe criteria for responsible businessmen'sethics. Critics may question this criteria as

.self-interest. I'll buy that. It is. But'it isenlightened self-interest which is simplygood "business sense," and reflects theethical standards that broadly prevailin our free society.

The point is that in business, ethical-standards encompass not only questionso; personal conduct and integrity, but thewhole range of business' activities withthe public as a whole. Yet in the finalanalysis it is always the individual whomust make the decision; a decision thatwill reflect the influences of one's familylife, religion, principles gleaned fromeducation, the views of others, and one'sowninherent traits of character. It is thesefactors that- show up in a man's businessdecisions, not the other way around.The man, therefore, who maintains his ownconvictions and sense of moral values willbe a better businessman, and will~find thatthere really is, ittle, problem in developinga business career:without fearof compromise.,

A forum, convened to discuss theOse, feelings, and problems of theCommunity, started with a strongenge to the statement that there isIT Community. The forum, helday in Kresge, was planned in

icipation of a large turnout but hadWappointingly small one. Professoriter Rosenblith, Chairman of the

ity, was thus prompted to begindiscussion with the question "Rowyou get people to discuss their

Oblem if their problem is apathy?."idea was exressed in one form or· -i . .. ~ --_

returned a short time ago. He pointedout that MIT suffers from a lack ofwomen since it is entirely unnatural toexpect men to live in an all malecommunity.

Therefore everyone leaves onweekends to find girls and no sense ofsocial community develops. The secondreason advanced was that since MIT is atechM'cal school, at least in terms ofadmissions it tends to attract peoplewho are more comfortable withmachines than with other people. Thethird reason produced was that MITstudents typically suffer from aninferiority complex about being at a

technical school. Since they' are sooften accused of being narrow andanti-humanist, they are not eager toidentify with MIT.

It was then suggested that one ofthe reasons for all these things was thelack 'of a gathering place to whichpeople could come to sample theatmosphere. It was pointed out thatmost social events here 'are of atransient nature and the sanctuary wasso successful because one could comeand go and still participate. Laterduring the discussion numeroussuggestions for meeting places were putforward including a beerhall

themselves into departments, andgraduates or undergraduates.

At this point it was suggested thatMIT students do not feel a sense ofcommunity because they are in suchcompetition with each other. Theindoctrination most freshmen get inthe "Tech is Hell" attitude also mayplay a part in the reluctance to getinvolved extensively in the activitiesundertaken to develop MIT as a whole.The -honor system now in use atCaltech was pointed out as an exampleof indoctrination which brings people-into the communtity.

Guest editorial

Student pAt 3:15 Wednesday afternoon President Howard

Johnson convened the faculty meeting for themonth of Notvember. Attendance was unusuallyhigh among the faculty and, as was eminently clearto all present, uniquely high among non-faculty. Forthe first time in my knowledge, there were studentspresent. The meeting President Johnson called toorder has often been called impotent-; boring, andeven irrelevant. These adjectives are misplaced, themeeting itself suffers only from passivity. Its pastinaction is only indicative of various misconceptionswe all hold about its power.

The students present came for various reasons.Most immediately, we wished to convey our feelingsabout the existence of closed' meetings at ouruniversity. On another level, however, we weresaying that all decisions relevant to us are ourconcern. We were saying that it is a perversion tobelieve that objective and rational decisions can bemade about students by a body which denies accessto those same students.

In his initial presentation President Johnsuggested that the students present were engagininappropriate behavior; that they were unnecessa

ressurecoercing the faculty by their presence: The obviousquestion for all who were present to ask is how canthe presence of students, at a meeting of theirteachers, within the confines of their university, becoercive? The "normal" state of affairs is indeed

constantly coercive, but where and when was thecoercion initiated?

That the possibility of disciplinary action wassuggested came as an affront to many present. Thatthe idea exists that such threats are either necessaryor relevant is 'at the least disconcerting. Anyconception that the students present wanted todisrupt for the sake of disruption was certainly notdue to the words or actions of those studentsinvolved .

It has long been tacitly assumed that theinterests of faculty and students are so intertwinedas to be indiscernable-if this is true, why notintertwine our thoughts and feelings-if not, weinsist on the right to present and defend ourinterests and views.

-By JimWashington-The matter of facultysecrecy, unpopular tenure -decisionsand general student powerlessnessarises periodically at MIT, but prbgressalways seems to be slow. Such,however, is not the case elsewhere.

Isolated newspaper articles give theimmediate impressions that across thecountry the Columbia disorder has'elicited genuine reforms by collegeofficials. Columbia itself, of course, hasreassessed many policies regardingstudent and faculty power that wouldhave gone untouched if pressure hadnot been brought to beat on theadministration. Other colleges,although free of such disruption,nevertheless learned from Columbiaand have acted to forestall similarcriticisms and similar disruptions.

From newspaper research andinquiries to the different nationalassociations here, I was able to gaugethe depth of the current movementtoward sharing authority with studentsat American universities.

Billy Graham likes to remind

(Ed. Note:The following is tfle text ofPresident Howard Johnson 's statementat the beginning of Wednesday'sfaculty meeting.)

I am always glad to see a goodturnout at the Faculty Meeting. As youknow, there are present in the Halltoday a number of students. Manystudents are interested in change - asall of us are and should be. Thepurpose of everyone here is tostrengthen this university and change isboth necessary and desirable. Studentsknow - should know - thatopportunities now exist for'encouraging and producing change.There are, I note, theseveralcommittees of the faculty in whichstudents now serve. Since last year,some 45 students have been appointedto 15 committees. There are,additionally', the open hearings offaculty committees, and I stronglyencourage such opportunities. Thereare. of coqurse the regular student

'committees.We should all be interested in

making student views known and, moreimportantly, their influence felt. Thefaculty will want to discuss this andfind further ways to achieve betterinterchange with the students. I amstrongly for this. I intend to ask today,the informal Committee of CommitteeChairmen, with the Chairman of theFaculty as Chairman, to seek views andmake rrcommendations to the facultyat the next Faculty Meeting - for waysof increasing student-faculty

interaction, including considerationwithin the format of the facultymeeting and extensions thereof, anti Iask for an interim report to the Facultyby the next meeting. I would hope thattfic meeting of the Institute Forumnext Friday at 12:00 pm to discussclosed and open meetings would be afirst opportunity for this committee tobegin its study. And I urge all membersof the faculty to attend.

In short. I believe we should beprepared to examine every policy,every view, every practice in whichMIT is engaged.

B u t this should be done in arational manner. This is an Institutethat proceeds by discussion - wherethe good ideas that serve all in thiscommunity survive. It is not a place-where action should take place by onegroup coercing another. This is notreasonable. And it is not reasonablethat, unilaterally and withoutconsultation, there should be pressureexerted here now on the Faculty. iunderstand your interest, but I believeyou are hurting your purpose and thatof many students working in otherways. The students present have thisstatement signed by the Secretary ofthe Faculty. Let me read it:

"As you know, the issue of closedmeetings at MIT has recently beenthe subject of some reneweddiscussion. Accordingly, a specialopen forum has been scheduled todiscuss the issues involved, in our

Alt,~

continuing efforts to findadditional channels ofstudent-faculty interchange. Thisspecial meeting will take place atthe Student Center on Friday,November 22, from 12:00 to2:00 pm. Students and facultymembers are invited to attend thismeeting.

It has been -both the practice andthe rule of the Faculty to makeuse of the scheduled monthlymeeting as a means of conductingfaculty business. Room 10-250has been assigned to members ofthe Faculty for their exclusive usefor a regular meeting beginning at3:15 pm, Wednesday, November20, and continuing until suchtime as the Faculty votes toadjourn the meeting. Onlymembers of the Faculty areeligible to attend."

I ask those who are not members ofthe Faculty now to leave. I mightremind you that we have no Sergeantat Arms, and we have no closed doors,and I hope that we never do. That, too,would be inappropriate in an academiccommunity. We rely on the sense ofindividual responsibilities in thesematters as in others. Let me sinplyrepeat. I would request those here whoare not faculty member to leave. Iregard this as a serious matter. And.much as I, personally, dislike doing so,I am also obliged to say thatdisciplinary action could and may beinitiated in situations like this one. Iam saddened to have to say this.

To The Editor:

Comments on theT.A.N.G. proposal.

1. Let me set up two quite differentdefinitions of the term democracy. Ishall call them democracy (1) anddemocracy (2) because althoughmanny people are adherents of one inopposition to the other, it seems to methat each by tradition has been calleddemocracy.

Democracy (1) is a form ofgovernment in which all decisions ongovernment action are made through amajority vote of those governed.

Democracy (2) is a form ofgovernment in which all but the verymost important decisions - andperhaps not even those -- are made byofficials attain and retain office by

9

"bidding" for the votes of theelectorate -through promises andrecords of previous action in office.(See Schumpeter's Capitalism,Socialism, and Democracy (New York,1942) for the best discussion i know ofthis).

Democracy (1) is what has come tobe known as "participatory"democracy, the declared ultimate goalof SDS' efforts. Democracy (2) isroughly what has existed in virtuallyevery society that has ever called itselfdemocratic, outside of trible situations,ancient Athens, and experiments of aslittle consequence as that of Concord's"town meeting."

MIT's "Toward A NewGovernment" movement seems to meto be an effort to move from a priorkind of student government structuredalong principles of democracy (2)

toward a student governmentstructured along principles ofdemocracy (1).

Let me briefly summarize thechiefest advantages and disadvantagesof each kind of democracy. Democracy(1) dearly comes closest to thedemocratic ideal in which the peoplegovern themselves. However,democracy (1) demands a high level ofinvolvement on the part of eachmember of the body politic, andfurthermore, if this involvement is tobe responsible, each member mustaccept the willingness I) to be asinformed as possible; 2) to hold fairlyin his intelligence any opposingviewpoint 3) to abide the final decisionof the electorate. Democracy (2)demands only that each member of theelectorate be broadly informed, thatonly those who seek and hold office be

as informed as possible - and theseonly to the extent of the scope of theiroffice. Democracy ' (2), however,undeniably removes "the will of themajority of the people" from theactions of the government by at leastone degree; and the likelihood ofindividuals in office, by their greaterknowledge and by the special meansavailable to their office, entrenchingtheir power is very great.

In discussing T.A.N.G. we shouldkeep these ideological considerationsvery much in mind. 2. The preamble ofthe T.A.N.G. proposal demands tat"students have control of the decisionswhich effect (sic) them." Three points:

1. Students do not comprise theonly interest group at MIT.

2. The fundamental assumptioninvolved in the establishment of aneducational institution is that members

of an *'older" genera'ion have a certaamount of knowledge and experiento- transmit to a younger generatiThis implies that the "01odegeneration - the faculty and, todebatable extent, the administrationhas the right and/or responsibilityfIdetermine in large measureconditions under which t!transmission of information shoeitake place. For example: If a teachrequires a blackboard, he has the rito override a- student decision 1majority to hold the class where thBeis no blackboard. This is a triiexample, but the principleimportant.

3. WVe had better decide quicklwhether MIT is a purely educatioainstitutiox - i.e, whether MIT she'Jlcontract to outside interests with Ddirect relevance to student activities ipurely educational institution has function other than to educate, lclearly MIT has always done mu9more than educate. There is no log1reason for delimiting the qualityquantity of activities in which g

engages; the activity of educationonly one in which MIT engaestudents are affected by MIT O

insofar as it is an educali0institution.

Letters to The Tect(Continued from page 4)

A very significant part of any newstudent government constitutionshould carefully define the extent ofthat govemment's power in light ofthese three points. The studentgovernment should not become atyranny over the Institute.

3. The General Assembly described byT.A.N.G. requires the presence of all itsmembers at its regular and emergencymeetings. This is not stated explicitly,but clearly an absent individual cannotvote.

General Assembly meetings arelikely to be long, often dull affairs. Formany much of what transpires at theGeneral Assembly meetings will notseem' directly relevant, and many willnot attend the meetings.. This is, ofcourse, the well-known phenomenondescribed as "student apathy."

Under the previous democracy (2)- type system decisions were made byinterested students, who were willingto bear the sacrifices in time and effortessentially because they did not regardthem as sacrifices - they enjoyed whatthey were doing. I think that most MITstudents do not feel this way. I. forone, would rather -spend a sunnySunday afternoon on the banks of theCharles River, or even do someschoolwork, than sit around debatingamong a very large number of people. Ihate politics, and when it concerns meonly marginally or occasionally I amjust as inclined to care only marginallyor occasionally about my owngovernment.

Democracy (2), at the cost ofpermitting the "career politician - and,yes, worse - to come into existence,has served to allow the typical memberof the body politic to make certaindecisions about his government,without burdening him unduly with anunderstanding of and participation in,political activities. Democracy (2),especially when it has employed suchdivices as recall, referendum, and so on,has often preserved much leeway formajority will and personal freedom.

How will -T.A.N.G. protect therights of the apathetic - for I'm sureI'm not the only one? As far as I cantell T.A.N.G. incorporates nomechanism for this purpose. In fact onthe ctary,, Ths is very much astudent government "of the interested,by the interested, and for theinterested." (In all fairness, I don't seea conspiracy of "the interested;" Ithink the authors of T.A.N.G. simplybelieved that everyone would becomeinterested. I doubt this very, verystrongly).

committees of the board except theexecutive committee.

According to the National StudentAssociation, Ball State University hasstudents on 30 to 40 committees, OhioState has students on several importantcommittees, and at Valparaiso. theStudent Government elects facultymembers to powerful faculty.committees.

In another controversial area,tenure decisions, students,have alsomade strong gains around the country.Oregon has given students a vote on thetenure committee, and at QueensCollege in New York, the individualdepartment head has the freedom touse whatever input he chooses inmaking recommendations for tenure,but this seldom includes studentconsultation, hence the argument formore formal recommendationmachinery involving studentevaluation.

Yale's President, Kingman BrewsterJr., made news in midOctober whenhis annual report to the alumnistrongly encouraged student andfaculty influence on his owndecision-making. It was notable,however, that he feared to make thisstatement outright, without belaboringthe qualification that he would listen"only to the extent that they areprimarily motivated by a concern forthe quality and integrity of theuniversity." One would expect such

If many people absent themselvesfrom the General Assembly, we facethe prospect of

a) a minority of the student bodyactually making a decision by virtue ofbeing a majority in the GeneralAssembly. Is this worse than anindividual official or a committeemaking the decision? The answer is,obviously, not generalizable. We mayargue, on the one hand, that at least inthe General Assembly - assumingadequate agenda publicity - thoseinterested will be present and voting -with the exception of those who fail torealize that they are interested, orthose who could not spare the time,and this exception must not beassumed away. An individual officialor committee, we may argue on theother hand, is presumably betterinformed, and at least has a majority orplurality election somewhere behind it.

b) filibusters. no closure rule existsanywhere in the T.A.N.G. proposal.

c) organized political parties. Beforea General Assembly one can picturequasi-party machinery, withquasi-leadership, organizing with theaim of bringing a majority to theGeneral Assembly. Groups alreadyexist on this campus prepared to dothis, and if the "apathetic" are unableor unwilling to counter-organize -particularly within the short timebetween announcement of andoccurrence of an emergency sessionthey may wel find something rammeddown their throats. Again it might beargued that an elected official orcommittee might do the same - but atleast it will have been an electedofficial or committee, and faced withthe threat of impeachment or recall.

I believe that before the T.A.N.G.proposal is implemented provisionmust be made to protect against thesesorts of possibilities. In particular,there should be

a) rules against raising issues againand again from meeting to meeting(this would be done in the hope thatthe opposition would simply give upthe fight).

b) rules against filebusters.O a proxy system to allow those

unwilling or unable to attend toprotect their interests.

4. Some miscellaneous points.a) Why is T.A.N.G. so hung up on

the notion that an act of censure is auseful thing to do? An act of censureitself, if it carries with it no means ofchanging something, is either totallyfutile or a very good way of

qualification; the fact that Brewsterbelabored it suggests a curious lack offull confidence in his students - andprofessors.

The University of Chicago hasintroduced the post of studentombudsman to the AmericanUniversity. This post, filed currentlyby a senior in Political Science, is apart-time salaried job which involvesmediation and investigation of studentgrievances, although no ultimateauthority. The ombudsman is given anoffice and staff to assist him. Newlyinaugurated Praident Edward H. Leviintroduced the position in Octoberwhile he was still Provost.

For all this activity, however,American universities are by no meansin the forefront of world student

power. France's decision to placestudents and faculty in equal control ofFrench universities was described in anearlier column. Berlin University hasnow followed suit, despite less studentviolence, and is. beginning atwo-semester experiment under a newcharter which places the Instituteunder the control of a student-facultycounciL The council then elects theadministration.

In Britain, the National Union ofStudents (to which most collegestudents belong) has won a moregeneral agreement calling for studentrepresentation on the governing bodiesof that countri's uwnersities

In Gilbert and Sullivan, actors muststay within the story; they may havethe glitter of insanity in their eyes, butthey mustn't wink at the audience.Richard Barnes' Sir Joseph Porter,K.C.B., for the most part remained trueto this formula.

Airplane and the Dead, friends wholived together, played together, smo,edtogether. So Newsweek got wind ofthis incredible situation, andimmediately people started thinking,no doubt unconsciously, "My, how hipSan Francisco music is. I'll like it andbe hip too." These people, full of theirpublic information, no moreunderstand what was going on in SanFrancisco than they understood theirown moral codes. ("If you cancomplete this list of entrancerequirements, you'll go to heaven."Fifty easy rules for spiritual grace. Nowreally.) How many people really go to aconcert to hear the music anyway?They just want to hear the recordsduplicated.

Next, Newsweek told us that-"groovy things are happening inBoston." The deception inherent inthis publicity is anazing. Peoplethought they were grooving tosomething they didn't even know was afiction. What fools we were.

THE TECH FRIDAY, NOVEM3ER 22,1968 PAGE 7

By Steve Grant

-A letterr to the editor of The Techna Glenn Hohn 71, published in

-?day s paper', raised some pointshich merit serious contemplation

when applied to rock 'n' roll. In hisi: ter, in which he questioned the

Jalidity of a linear, fragmented~~pproach to the film "You Are What

Lou Eat" (which wasn't at all theWended approach), Glenn brought to•;-ind a malady which runs rampant in

~Jimg the point to acclain a song~tRe, say. the Left Banke's "Pretty;aerina" as "a brilliant use of theperiodic diminished fifth suspended

iiagainst a descending tonic . scalar~;mode," which I wouldn't be the least:bit surprised to see in print fromsomebody or other. Music is onlymusic, meant to be enjoyed - nothingmore - and not to be subjected to thefragmented analysis which loses sight-0o the experience of the music in favorof a sterile, poeantic view. Music, asJules Feiffer once wrote about comicWoks (the analogy is admittedly rathergretched), is like the drunk at thewedding. It can't be disgraced-- if it'sdoing its job, it's already as-down-to-earth as it can get.

'Cfiical expertise'

While a member of the Byrds, David,Crosby said, his is one field in whichyou absolutely cannot intellectualizef'

~fqhat wasn't supposed to be ironic.)How right he was! This had the resultthat the Byrds avoided college concertsunfil recently. There are too manypeople who evaluate rock on aprissy-polite basis, concerningthemselves with purely academicgascts of the music.

an imitation of Big Mama Thornton,you know." The article went on to say,"None of them ever heard a Big MamaThornton recording ... AU of them arevictims of the pervasive ... criticalexpertise which oppresses the musicscene." If you still don't believe it.consider another example of publicinformation - how many peopleevaluate the weekly wire-service collegefootball ratings, or the year-endAll-American lists without knowinganything about the teams/playexsinvolved?

'Sgt. Pepper's'

Hype is one reason. When "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"carme out, it was immediately delugedwith fulsome comments about whatmagnificent artists the Beatles were.Listeners weren't even in a position tojudge the record for themselves- theycould either like it or feeluncomfortably un-intllectual. Somillions of people like it because theythought they had to. Now "Sgt.Pepper's" may actually be a greatalbum, but it isn't great just becausesome mealy-mouthed critic babbles"Briliant, really brilliant," blissfullyunaware that the Beates themselvesmay have been completely freaked outby what they were doing. (For anotherexample, read the last few paragraphsof Rolling Stone's recent interviewwith Peter Townshend.)

It's the Newsweek approach all overagain. Look at what happened to theso-called San Francisco and Boston"sounds," In San Francisco there was agenuine scene of people like the

groove to. And don't be fazed bypretentious music.

To get started on the road awayfrom fragmentizing and leading intothe experiential view, a listener canpick up on a few distinctive records.

But any list, by nature must bepublic, and so are their ideas. It's up toyou to make them private.

Like the Bear says, "You just got torelax and do your boogie."

If you want to read Joyce orMcLuhan to help, yourself along, fime- they're about the two best aidsyou'll find - but don't pretend, don'tplay games just to be in with the incrowd. Don't rave on an intellectuallevel what a brilliant album"Surrealistic Pillow" is when songs like"It's No Secret," "Let's Get Together,"and "If You Feel" articulate all thismuch better than I'm doing. Andforget Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly,and all the rest when there are oldYardbirds and Spencer Davis albums to

level of basic inquiry about MIT," he added.

The final demand considered by the task forcewas the formation of "a summer programspecifically -designed for those enteringstudents whose preparation, because of poorquality high schools, is not commensurate withthat of other students engering MIT."

The problems implied by such a program areperhaps the thorniest encountered by the taskforce. While there is 'clearly no intention for twostandards," Gray explained, there is the need to be"bolder" in the admission of students

MIT last summer tried an experimental summerprogram, Project Epsilon, which attempted tobring about a modest increase in such studentswhile at the same time testing the normalassumptions about admission policies. The

In submitting the proposals, the Black StudentUnion set a minimum figure of "100 Blackfreshmen (roughly I{YM) entering each yearbeginning in the fall of, 1969." Gray's response tothat figure is that, "no one really expects that wecould achieve that in the first year." While theInstitute feels the' number isn't unrealistic in thelong run, Gray explained, the task is of such anature that the number of freshmen will be builtup.

Gray explained that in order to increase thenumber of Black freshmen, a similar increase inapplicants must be made which implies anincreasein those interested in attending, and suchaninterest does not exist. "We've got to start at the

program' offered admission to eight Negroes aMone American Indian. Six accepted. The Studentswere characterized by being in the top 5% of theiclass with excellent recomendationls but wit?College Board scores that indicated some questionabout their ability to achieve at MIT.

At, the summer program, the students weregiven courses in math and English in an effort toboost their aptitude. They are presently freshmelGray likened such a program to "letting the clutchout slowly," explaining that "no one involved hassuggested that we ought to admit students whocannot graduate in the normal way- I"

The task force has not yet reached any specificdecisions about the summer program except that itshould be non-obligatory for' any studentadmitted.

(Continued from page 1)

Two of the original proposals called for Blackadministrators in the Offices of Admissions andFinancial Aid who would handle the applications,interviews, and administrative details of the Blackstudent population. Gray emphasized that theInstitute had "not bought the proposition that thisperson be only concerned with the admission ofBlack students.

However, the Institute has been attempting tohire such a person and expects a Negro to join theAdmissions staff January 1. Gray explained that itis up to the Admissions Office to decide his dutiesbut that he would certainly play 'a role in dealingwith Black students in both admissions andfinancial aid. Gray also noted that he felt "there

Socioal roomrn may useVassar St. watrehouse

(Continued from page 1)The question of using a room on

the first floor of the Institute-ownedMetropolitan Storage Warehouse onVassar Strmet was raised. The groupagreed that this building would bem ore likely to provide a suitableinformal atmosphere than would theStudent Center: Donald Whiston.Associate Director of Physical Plant,said he would look into the possibility.

Serious doubts were raised,however., concerning possible use ofthe Warehouse. The basic question wasthe Institute's liability in the event ofunfortunate occurrences or scandalsthat might occur. According toProfessor Hurley, the group consideredthe possible effects of an 'invasion byoutsiders because of the essentially'off-campus' (relative to the StudentCenter) nature of the Warehouse.

Professor Hurley said that certain ofthe 'high-ranking' students on theboard shared this cautious view andwere wary of such things as a possiblepot scandal in such a location. Otherquestions of liability raised were thoseconcerning injuries, machine failures,

and debts incurred by the room.Professor Hurley raised the possibilityof one separate activity which wouldrun the room since he sees the basicquestion of such a site being 'who'sgoing to push it?'

At their most recent meeting onMonday of this week, the ADBconcluded that they would allow theinvestigation into the need for andfeasibility of such rooms to becompleted by the Student Center.Committee since the SCC is already-involved in such plans. The SCC willreport back to the ADB in a few weeks.Chairman Anderson suggested that thesanctuary-type room discussed abovemight be ready by Christmas.

UAP Maria Kivisild stressed that theInstitute has not yt t made any definitecommitment of funds for suchproposed rooms, but said that theimportant thing for the present time isto find out 'what's needed' and to lookinto the possibilities. While the StorageWarehouse has not been definitelyruled out, she believes that the SCCwill focus its efforts on the second andthird floors of the Student Center.

The possibility of a 29th fraternityhas been raised by the formation of theBoston chapter of Pi Kappa AlphaAlumni Club. The move wasannounced Monday night at a meetingof MIT administration, the IFC, andalumni of Pi Kappa Alpha living in theBoston area. George Katsiaficas '70,chairman of the IFC Building andExpansion Committee, said that oneprerequisite for admitting anyfraternities is they must have a stronglocal alumni group. PKA's moveremoves one of the last stumblingblocks to their admirssion.

"There is a good possibility of theirstarting a -colony next term,"Katsiaficas commented. And although

the IFC has not taken any definiteaction yet, he expects to see either PiKappa Alpha or Delta Chi, another ofthe nationals seeking acceptance atMIT, to be rushing next fall.

Sorenson pleased

Dean Richard A. Sorenson waspleased at the hopes of expansion. Hesaid that except for the recolonizationof Zeta Beta Tau in 1961, there hasbeen no expansioni since 1952,although interest on the part offraternities has always been high.Asked why, Dean Sorenson noted,'it'sa heck of a good fraternity systern.'He said that high standards wvereexpected of any national desiring aplace at MIT. Nationals are not allowedto base admissions on race, creed, or

color, and they are not allovwplace too many restrictions on tlocals, for example.

New Yorkt drizzle Sunday' night and a

By Ron Cline

A new and ambitious organization has come; onto the Boston collegiate ski'scene. The Fastern Collegiate Skiers Association, ECSA for short, is comprised 0[individual ski and outing clubs from almost all of the colleges and universitiesithe Boston area.

The prime function of the new organization is to aMrange ski weekends andprovide bus transportation. Other activities include weeknight and afternoon skiicourses at the Blue Hills ski Area, ski patrol certification courses,.week long trips~to Aspen, ski movie nights and merchandise discounts. ·

ECSA was founded last spring. At that time a group of students representing!icollege ski clubs mi the Boston area, met to discuss the problems their clubswereIexperiencing. It was established very early during these meetings, that most of theclub's problems stemmed from the fact that they all had less than a few hundred~members each. Because of the relatively small number of skiers mi each club, theiclubs were unable to hold satisfactory functions i.e. trips especmlly with any fdegree of frequency. Also since many of the students were not familiar with Newtl'ngland ski areas, this resulted in poor and costly lodge selection. Other problems-:centered around each club's inability to procure quality ski movies for canpuistviewings; obtain merchandise discounts at retailers; and arrange for major ski tripsto areas outside of New England.

It was agreed that a union of all the ski clubs, combined with an experiencedrstaff to head the organization, would solve most of the problems which, individually the clubs had encountered in the past. Thus, the Eastc -n Collegiate~Skiers Association was organized, with the individual college clubs becoraing~'member-clubs' of ECSA. Gerry Milden, President of the Boston Ski Club was~asked to accept a similar position with ECSA. X

Members of ECSA pay $3.00 per year dues. This money is used to pay forprinting and mailing of a monthly newspaper. Members receive in addition to theirnewsletter, a year's subscription to the North East Skier, a bimonthly skiingnewspaper, and their membership card which among other things is good for a tenpercent discount at many retailers in the Boston area.

ECSA already has more than a dozen member schools, including to name butafew MIT, Harvard, BU, Northeastern, Wellesley, and Brandeis. The organization asalready scheduled three trips to Aspen. The first will be over intersession and thelast two over spring vacation. The all-inclusive price for these Aspen trips is wellbelow the price the individual would pay by going on his own.

the previous eight years, the MITvarsity basketball team approaches thecoming season with the task of fieldinga relatively inexperienced team, withan unusually small average height ofonly 6'1". The only returnee from lastyear's 16-9 team will be junior guardSteve Chamberlain, who comined withBruce Wheeler to form a potent scoringpunch in last year's backcourt.Wheeler, also a junior, has dropped outof MIT for the year to continue hisstudies at Princeton, but he will beavailable for next year's campaign~

Joining Chamberlain in/ thebackcourt will be Bob Listfield-'69,Frank Taylor '71, and Dennis Flaherty'7 1. Listfield is the captain of the team,and during the previous two seasons, hehas proven himself to be one of Tech'stop spares. Taylor and Flaherty,though new to Coach John Bmry'sstyle of play, saw considerable actionon last year's freshmanteam.

Lacking the big rebounder for thefirst time in a number of years, Tech isforced to start two relatevely smallmen in the frontcourt. Coach Barrywill choose his forwards from amongBob Vegler '70, John Bell '71 and NickMumford '70. All are 6'4", acomparatively small height for a collegecenter. Vegler, who is one of the threereturning lettcrman, along withChamberlain and Lisfield, is probablythe mrst experienced of the three.

With the graduation of DaveJansson, Tech lacks a big scorer andthus will have to rely on a-balancedscoring attack featured by theshuffinjig in of many more players.Other backcourt men who will see

C4Adriving rainstion Monday turnedpicturesque V an Cortlaindt Park, one ofthe finest courses in the country, into atreacherous slippery, suicidal monster.On a dry day, the steep downhillscoupled with right angled turns at thebottom reward the skillful and penalizethe imprudent (the penalty for notmaking the turn is flying off into spaceand landing about fifty feet straightdown).

Our runners drew a startingassignment on the outside, which was agreat aid in avoiding being trapped inthe pack of 148 runners. After hustlingthrough the harrowing hills, MITemerged with Wilson a distant secondafter falling back to third for aconsiderable distance in the hills. Petro,in a pack of f'ne runners, was inapproximately tenth place, whileYankaskas was 15th, Owens 40th andKozubek in 45th. At this junctureKozubek and Owens realized that ifthey could pick up the pace slightly,the engineers stood a good chance ofwinning the meet. The two runnersreally moved for the next 1¥2z miles andwere running rather strongly m thetwenties at the 3'2 mile mark. With ahalf mile to go, Wilson was in second,where he finished. while Larry Petrowas in his final position at eleventh.Yankaskas was 17th where he scored,Kozubek was in 25th and moved up to23rd, and Owens, who was about 35th,put on an amazing burst of speed tocome in 28th.

It wasall official some two hourslater when the results showed Tech infirst with 73 points (after correctionswere made for runners competing asindividuals), to Springfield's 103 andColgate's 130.
