PhotobyKnsna Gupta By Fred Hutchison The 1972-73 season was a year of building for the MIT varsity basketball squad. The Tech five were constantly plagued by inconsistency .and uneven play. Their free-throw percentage declined steadily after the midpoint of the season, and their season record was a dismal five wins and 17 losses. As I said, however, this was a building year. There were only four seniors on the squad and three juniors. Two of the start- ing five were freshmen. This was Fran O'Brien's first season as head coach. The future should definitely look brighter for MIT basketball. The player who led the squad in total points and was third in rebound was Campbell Lange, a freshman. If this year's showing of 218 points and 171 rebounds are any indication, Peter Jack- son, another member of the class of '76, will be the backbone of MIT basketball for the next three years. Fourth spot in both total points and number of Te- bounds goes to John Cavolow- sky '76, while fifth' and sixth spots go to next year's co- captains Bob Roth '74 and Al Epstein '75. The man who will be missed the most next year is Jerry Hudson '73, this year's team captain and the fifth highest scorer in MIT basketball history. Hudson had a good season, ex- cept for a few bad games which were marred by rather unin- spired play. Hudson ended the season with 328 points, and he ended his career with 1 002.

The March meeting of theMIT faculty conducted littlesubstantive business, but severalimportant issues were discussed,including freshman pass/fail, tleMIT-Wellesley exchange, and"end of term arrangements."

Two exceptional statementswere made at the meeting, oneby Professor Emily Wick ofNutrition, who said that MIT

{ should make a "resounding com-mitment" to "education of

fez>- females," and that the MIT-Wellesley exchange is now an

i '-obstacle to the growth of MITwomen students."

The other statement wasmade by Professor ArthurMattuckc, chairman of thePass/Fail Committee, who toldthe 50 or so faculty at themeeting that one of the com-mittee proposals essentiallymeant "continuation of hiddengrades."

Professor of MathematicsHartley Rogers, chairman of thefaculty, introduced the Pass/Failreport by noting that this wasthe third committee to study theproblem. He reread the com-mittee's charge, which had to doprimarily with t*he study ofhidden grades and medicalschool admissions, and theireffect on pass/fail.

Mattuck admitted at the startthat hidden grades had notproven to be much of a problem,and that his committee wasessentially content with thestatus ouo in that area. Hequickly outlined the four recom-mendations of his group: con-tinuing use of one passing grade,continuing identification of out-standing work, a credit limit inthe freshman year, and an"internal fail" which wouldprevent reporting to outsiders offailing grades during the fresh-man year.

Paul Schindler, editor of ThteTech, spoke on pass/fail, having

r obtained prior permission fromMattuck to do so. He told the

i 1A, A77 TIT 0 UIl ~ w da

faculty that The Tech is a sub-stantially better paper now thanit was five years ago, at leastpartially due to freshman pass-fail. "Freshmen form the back-bone of the paper, and mostother student activities," he said,noting that this seemed to be inthe spirit of pass-fail. He com-mended the committee forapplying a "consistent" view tothe questionnaire data, insteadof merely following it blindly.

Finally, Schindler com-mented in support of the creditlimit for freshmen, quoting asection of the report which con-tended that this would channelfreshman energy into non-academic activity.

Assistant Professor of ForeignLanguages Gordon Nelsonquickly disagreed with the creditlimit, claiming it would makelanguage an impossible scheduleburden for freshmen, since thelabs are twelve hour courses."Nine hours is not enough," hestated, calling the differencebetween four terms of ninehours and four of twelve"crucial."

Chancellor Paul Gray ques-tioned Mattuck on two points:"What's different from five yearsago, when a credit limit failed,"he asked, and "Isn't internal faila deceptive practice?"

Mattuck pointed to the lastfive years as "five years of ex-perience in student overloads,"which were beginning to worrycore course instructors [ Mattuckteaches calculus]. As for internalfail, he said the concept wasintroduced "for its practicaleffect," not a principle. Theeffect: to "let faculty fail morestudents than they do now,"something they are loathe to do.

Professor Arthur Smith notedthat failures were down and A'sand B's were up in upperclassrecords, to such an extent thatfreshman year failures were "nota significant data point." Pro-fessor Margaret MacVicar, direc-

a

tor of UROP, said that the creditl i m i t would have an"unfortunate effect" on theprogram.

Gray then rose again, to pointout that the original data onwhich the pass/fail decision wasbased had changed. "This year'sfreshman class is totally unrelated to that of 1960 or1965," the years which BensonSnyder studied in one surveyand George Valley and WayneStewart looked at in another.Gray said all that data should bediscounted.

Rogers told the faculty thatthe CEP had not yet formulatedits recommendations onpass/fail, but that the wholecontext of grades at MIT mightbe reviewed.

By Richard FosterMedia critic and TV Guide

contributing editor Edith Efronspoke Monday to a crowd of 90in 26-100 on "Politics OnceRemoved - Reality ViewedThrough the Filter of tbeMedia." In the first majorlecture sponsored by LSC thisyear, Efron discussed interactionbetween government and media,and blamed today's problems onthe actions of liberals andDemocrats.

Efron claimed that thenetworks have shown a liberalbias, while ignoring the publicand the First Amendment. Shecompared their attitude towardsnews and entertainmentbroadcasting, arguing that theyare inconsistent, and proposedthat the only solution is to endall government intervention andsell all frequencies to the highestbidder.

Efron claimed that none ofthe current problems haveoriginated in the last five years,and blamed this view on a"grossly partisan interpretationof the media from the mediaitself." Among her exampleswere Spiro Agnew, who in 1968represented a "gigantic popularoutrage" against network bias,

and a Roosevelt court, whichfailed to issue a clear decision onthe rights of newsmen.

Network opposition togovernment intervention in newsprogramming was contrastedagainst the liberal attitudetoward entertainment. or "net-work fiction." This oncefeatured an individualistic herowith a simple, confident sort ofcourage and integrity fightingagainst very villainous villainsmorally responsible for theirdeeds," until it was attacked by"TV critics, academics of somesort, and politicians of a liberalpersuasion."

She correlated these attackswith the platfonn of the Demo-cratic party, and cited actiontaken against violence in tele-vision during the Kennedyadministration. However,according to Efron, "Not onemajor voice was raised to protestthis intrusion into the net-works."

She called relevant program-ming a billion-dollar failure andobserved that the public hasrefused to watch public TV,which furthers the values of theliberal elite.

Efron discussed the results ofher book, The News-Twvisters,

which found liberal bias in net-work coverage of the 1968 elec-tion, and seven other studieswhich have also found bias."When seven studies enmerge aildiscovering some degree of biasand falsification, much of itfavorable to Democratic andliberal causes and none favoringRepublicans and Republicancauses, the time has conme forthe media to stop ranting andraving in a paranoid fashion overthat issue."

Efron viewed the battlebetween the government and themedia as but one aspect of awider cultural battle betweenthe intellectuals and the com-mon man, which will only endwhen the "dominant inLellec-tuals and media become reac-quainted with the meaning ofthe First Amendment."

Efron's solution to the pro-blems was to end governmentintervention completely, sellingall channels to the highest bid-der. Thus, there would be nonetwork nonopoly and theywould be "swamped" by thecompetition, with survival deter-mined by public demand ratherthan the opinions of any form ofelite.

By Barb MooreMIT officials are now exam-

ining hiring practices of the M ITDining Service, after it wasfound that many people fillingstudent positions with theDining Service are not MITstudents.

The outside employees havebeen accepted and sometimesrecruited by the Dining Serviceto fill positions not filled byMIT students. Lately, however,campus term-time jobs havebeen hard to find, with theresult that many MIT studentsfeel an employment crunch.Thus, MIT is reviewing the hiringpractices.

During the summer, theStudent Center Dining Servicewas employing many outsidestudents, or former MITstudents who had not given uptheir positions after graduation.Associate Dean for StudentAffairs Richard Sorenson andHarmon E. Brammer, Directorof Housing and Food Services,met with the managers of theDining Service and student rep-resentatives to consider the sit-uation.

The group decided to work

toward an all student staff, butdid not feel it appropriate to fireemployees already on the pay-roll. In the past, members of theStudent Center managementhave recruited employees fromsuch places as Boston Universityand Simmons College, but thispractice has been discontinued.Instead, Dining Service hasbegun advertising openings firstto the MIT student body.

When more dormitory dininghalls were in service, the prob-lem was less obvious. A housedining hall can employ residentsof the house, and has no need tohire outside workers. But withdecreasing use of dormitorydining facilities, the problem hasbecome greater. The StudentCenter must serve a greater per-centage of the students, withouthaving a resident populationfrom which to draw.

The problem is compoundedby the nature of the availablework. Permanent shifts at eitherTwenty Chimneys or Lobdell areconsistently filled, and there is awaiting list for jobs. The StudentCenter dining staff is alsoresponsible for supplying work-ers to cater banquets, which, due

By Norman SandlerThe issue of MIT's experi-

mentation with Cable TV(CATV) systems within theInstitute and beyond to thecommunity has been met inrecent weeks with considerablecontroversy. The principals in-volved at MIT were featuredWednesday in a seminar duringwhich they described what theysee as the proper course for MITto pursue in the future withregard to CATV systems.

The five-member cable groupincludes three members of thefaculty of the Department ofPolitical Science, (EdwinDiamond, Lovell Dyett, and Pro-fessor Ithiel Pool), John Ward ofthe Electronic Systems Labora-tory, and Carroll Bowen fromthe Center for AdvancedEngineering Study (CAES).

The cable group discussed arecent report which was releasedon "Telecommunications atMIT," which outlines applica-tions of cable television tech-nology to curricular and extra-curricular functions at MIT.

Pool, who moderated theseminar, which was sponsoredby the Educational Division,explained that the group beganmeeting last summer to discusspossibilities and impacts of "newtelecommunications tech-nologies" 'At that time, sessionswere held to determine uses inconjunction with MIT coursesand activities, as well as ways inwhich the cable technologydeveloped at MIr could beshared with the surroundingcommunity.

The study began with anexamination of the existingphysical facilities for CATV, asubject with which Ward hasbeen concerned. He stated thatthe primary objective at thistime should be to establish a"backbone" for a future cablesystem at MIT. To do this, Wardproposed a cable link-up, run-ning from Westgate, throughBuilding 1O, to the eastern edgesof the campus, buildings E52and E53.

In addition to this "spine,"Ward explained that "spurs"could be added to link the dor-

mitories, Kresge Auditorium,and buildings such as El 9 to thesystem. With just one cableinstalled, up to 18 two-waychannels could be in operationat MIT, should the cable net-work be installed, along with acontrol center, which Ward sug-gested might be located inBuilding 9.

The reasoning behind theplacement of a control center inthat particular building is two-fold. First, it just happens to be,according to Ward, approxi-mately half-way between thetwo ends of the campus. Secondis a consideration given due tothe fact that CAES, with its ownadvanced cable facilities, isalready located in the building.

The initial installation, the"backbone," would involveapproximately I 1,000 feet ofcable, with an estimated cost of$30-35,000.

Cambridge and P.A.N.I.C.Ward said that in addition to

linking the dormitories oncampus to the cable, anotherspur could link the system to

Dyett, a research associate inPolitical Science, conceded that"this is one contemplated spurwhich has turned out to be athorn." He, along with others inthe group, have been chargedwith planning a system whichwould "spy" on citizens in cer-tain areas of the city.

The Cable Group has con-sidered the Model Cities area ofCambridge (consisting of some13,000 homes) for link-up to aproposed cable system at MIT,particularly due to the fact thatthere has been Model Citiesmoney available in Washingtonfor community projects in-volving telecommunications.

However, negotiations withindividuals and citizens' groupsin the city have been slowed dueto the surveillance charges madeby a group called PANIC (PeopleAgainst National IdentityCards). Hearings are now goingon in Cambridge (as well as atthe state level) to investigate theinvasion of privacy allegationagainst CATV, though it appearsthat talks with the CambridgeCity Council will cool down inthe near future, and Dyett an-nounced he was going to addressthe Model Cities board onWednesday night.

Diamond and Pool addressedthemselves to the applications ofcable to extra-curricular andclassroom functions respectively.

Students would benefit fromsuch a system, according toDiamond, by being able to oper-ate at least part of the hardwarethemselves, and suggested that atleast one channel be turned over-to student programming.

Pool said that during the sum-

(Continued from page 1!to the irregularity of theworking hours, is undesirable formost MIT students. There arealso substitute hours open,which again, would be irregularand temporary.

Consequently, non-studentshave been hired, reportedly tocomplete the banquet staff.When asked about an allegedcase in which a non-student wasgiven permanent hours inTwenty Chimneys while therewas a waiting list of MITstudents, Brainmer denied know-ledge of the incident. He saidthat this situation would violatepresent dining service policies,and he did not substantiate ordeny the incident had occurred.

Several proposals forremoving non-student employeeshave been considered. If DiningService were to limit all of itsjobs to MIT students, the man-agement fears that there wouldbe a shortage of workers forsuch special tasks as banquets. Ifthe staffs of Twenty Chimneysand Lob dell were made a sep-arate entity from the banquetand substitute staffs, therewould be a perpetual influx ofinexperienced workers into thebanquet staff. Any experiencedMIT student on the banquetstaff would move into openingson the permanent staff, leaving

the banquet staff to hire new,inexperienced workers.

Dining Service managementconsiders the best alternative tobe removal of non-studentemployees from the regular pay-Poll, and paying them through avoucher system. This leaves theworkers on a temporary basis,and eliminates the difficulty infiring him, when an MIT studentapplies for the position. Thisyear, the voucher system wasimplemented, but it is too earlyto tell what its effects will be.

By the 1973-74 academicyear, there will be no non-MITstudents in captain's positions,and, if the voucher system issuccessful, there will be a totallyMIT student staff in two years.This depends on the number ofstudent applicants for the open-ings. The new advertising cam-paign on the availability ofdining service jobs will hopefullyincrease the number of appli-cants.

At the present, students witha term-time job included in theirfinancial aid package are notgiven any priority in securing aposition with campus dining ser-vice. This is a possibility for thefuture of dining service, in orderto assure an adequate number ofemployees, as well as to relievethe pressure on students seekinga campus job.

summarized the discussion,noting that people did not seemto oppose pass/fail, only its for-mat. One faculty member, whoidentified himself as an upper-class advisor in the ElectricalEngineering department, dis-agreed. There was some furtherdiscussion, but final action wasput off until the April meeting,as planned.

Next, Dean of the School ofScience Robert Alberty, co-chairman of the MIT-WellesleyExchange Committee made hisreport. He summarized sevenpoints in the report and its threerecommendations to the CEP.

di His seven major points were:

1) A significant number ofpersons at both schools haveA•, ~ taken advantage of the ex-change. Over 5000 people havebeen involved over the last fiveyears.

2) The student's choice ofsubjects to cross-register in indi-cates the complementary natureof the two school's programs.

3) The residence exchangeprovided, during its one year ofexistence, a rewarding change ofenvironment.

4) As a result of the ex-change, some undergraduatewomen at MIT feel they aretaken less seriously as capablestudents with career goals. Thecommittee deplored thepatronizing attitudes of many

5) The committee stronglyrecommended the recruitmentof women at all academic levels.

6) There should be furthercooperation between MIT andWellesley faculty, in spite oftheir differing interests.

7) The two school's academicyears were found to differ, butnot significantly, especially afterthe recent Wellesley facultyaction putting finals beforeChristmas.

The group's three recomme-ndations to CEP were: continuethe exchange, re-introduce theresidence exchange on a limitedbasis, and develop new jointactivities.

Wick made a major statementto the faculty after Alberty'spresentation. She told themostly male crowd that the"nitty gritty," not the theory ofthe exchange was the source ofthe problem. "The costs of theexchange have been borne by

MIT women," she said at onepoint. "We sell our women stu-dents down the river by ignoringtheir problems," according toWick, who called the exchange"detrimental" to MIT women.

Alberty stated his belief thatthe exchange could help solvesome of the problems of womenat the Institute; Wick later saidthere is good in the exchange,but only if it is not done at theexpense of a part of the MITcommunity.

On Wednesday, the 21st, Gary return-ed to New Hampshire to meet with theprobation officer, who, in turn, willadvise the judge. The final sentencing willbe done at 1:30 on April 9. Ideally, Garywould be permitted to puruse his plan ofattending Harvard Medical Schoo4, withthe years spent there being consideredpart of his probation. It would enablehim to become a doctor, and return, as hehas hoped, to rural Arkansas, where hewould practice. At the other extreme; hecould be given up to ten years in prison.But even worse, Gary would be put onprobation wherein he would be made tolead a strictly outlined life, in an effort tobreak his will, and reform an unreform-able humanist. A person of Gary's ilkwould be hard-pressed to restrict his lifeso severely, and could wind up with a jailterm on top of a period of probation.

The questions Gary Woods raises, andwhich were not resolved in that court-room in Concord, New Hampshire, are ofutmost import - is a person trapped inthe system that he either wants to haveno part of, or strives to change with noreal hope of change? Is the existingmoral, political and social system ines-capable? Was Gary Woods, like the speak-er in the War Prayer really a lunatic? Thejudge and jury in Concord's FederalBuilding only closed the mouth of oneman, who was pressing these issues, bystating "yes" to them through their ver-dict. But there is something drasticallywrong in that answer, and in a system, ingeneral, that can make murder the sanityof the day and resistance to that killingthe insanity.

which may not need rainand can be injured by it.

"You have heazd your servant's prayer -the uttered part of it.I am commisioned of Godto put into words the other part of it -the part which the pastor,and also you in your hearts,fervently prayed silently.And ignorantly and unthinkingly?God grant that it was so!You heard these words:"Grant us victory,O Lord our God!"That is sufficent.The whole of the uttered prayeris compact into those pregnant words.Elaborations were not necessary.When you have prayed for victoryyou have prayed formany unmentioned resultswhich follow victory - must follow it,cannot help but follow it.Upon the listening spiritof God the Father fell alsothe unspoken part of' the prayer.He commandeth meto put it into words.

LISTENI!

"O Lord our Father,our young patriots,

idols of our hearts,go forth to battle -be Thou near them!With them, in spirit,we also go forthfrom the sweet peaceof our beloved firesidesto smite the foe.0 Lord our God,help us to tear their soldiersto bloody shreds with our shells;help us to cover their smiling fieldswith the pale forms of their patriot dead;help us to drown the thunderof the gunswith the shreiks of their wounded,writhing in pain;help us to lay wastetheir humble homeswith a hurricane of fire;help us to wring the heartsof their unoffending widowswith unvailing grief;help us to turn them out rooflesswith their little childrento wander unfriended the wastesof their desolated landin rags and hunger and thirst,sports of the sun flames of summerand the icy winds of winter,broken in spirit,worn with travail,imploring thee for the refuge of the graveand denied it -for our sakes we adore Thee, Lord,blast their hopes,blight their lives,protract their bitter pilgramage,make heavy their steps,water their way with tears,stain the white snowwith the bloodof their wounded feet!We ask it,in the spirit of love,of Him Who is the Source of Love,and Who is ihe ever-faithfulrefuge and friendof all that are sore besetand seek His aidwith humble and contrite hearts.Amen.

"Ye have prayed it;if ye still desire it,speak!The messenger of theMost High waits."

It was believed afterwardthat the man was a lunatic,because there was no sensein what he said.

A few members of the jury shuffleduneasily in their seats, there were tears inGary's eyes.

But the prosecution, in their summary,and the judge, in his charge to the jury,reversed the matter. They typified thesituation as "the height of civilization '"and that the only perogative that the juryhad was to judge the facts, and only thefacts, in accordance with the law.

Ten minutes after they departed, thejurors returned a verdict. One count,regarding not keeping the draft boardinformed of changes in address, had beendropped earlier because the judge hadfound no willfullness in Gary's actions.On the other two counts, of not carryinghis draft card and not showing up, forinduction, Gary Woods was found guilty.

majority of the men in Vietnam aresimilarly unsuited for combat because oftheir lack of concern and sympathy withwhat they're being made to do. There-fore, Colonel Woods felt it was the draftboard's responsibility not to induct suchpersons, as they were, in fact, a liability.But that was not necessarily Gary'sopinion.

Gary was not looking for an easy out;instead, he wanted to confront the jurywith the essential issue of exerting theirright to try him on moral grounds whichsupercede the facts and the iaw. Hewanted to question the statutes them-selves and the system that has made themalmost unshakable; he wanted them todetermine who was in the morally rightarea. In his final comments to the jury,Gary read from Mark Twain's The WarPrayer -Then came the long prayerNone could remember the like of itfor passionate pleadingand moving and beautiful language.The burden of its supplication wasthat an eWr-merciful and benignantFather of us all would watch overour noble young soldiersand aid, comfort, and encourage themin their partiotic work;bless them, shield them in the dayof battle and the hour of peril,bear them in His mighty hand,make them strong and confident,invincible in the bloody onset;help them to crush the foe,grant to themand to their flag and countryimperishable honor and glory -

An aged stranger entered and movedwith slow and noiseless stepup the main aisle,his eyes fixed upon the minister,his long body clothed in a robethat reached to his feet, his head bare,his white hair descendingin a frothy cataract to his shoulders,his seamy face unnaturally pale,pale even to ghastliness.With all eyes following himand wondering,he made his silent way;without pausing, he ascendedto the Dreacher's sideand stood there, waiting.With shut lids the preacher.unconscious of his presence,continued his moving prayer,and at last finished it with the words,uttered in fervent appeal,"Bless our arm s,grant us victory,O Lord our God,Father and Protectorof our land and flag!"

The stranger touched his arm,motioned him to step aside -which the startled minister did -and took his place.During some momentshe surveyed the spellbound audiencewith solemn eyes in which burnedan uncanny light;then in a deep voice he said:

'" come from the Throne -bearing a message fromn Almighty God!"The words smote the house with a shock;if the stranger perceived ithe gave no attention."He has heard the prayerof His servant your shepherdand will grant itif such be your desireafter I, His messenger,shall have explained to you its import -that is to say, its full import.For it is like untomany of the prayer:, of men,in that it asks for morethat he who utters it is aware of -except he pause and think.

"God's servant and yourshas prayed his prayer.Has he paused and taken thought?Is it one prayer?No, it is two -one uttered. the other not.Both have reached the earof Him Who heaneth all supplications,the spoken and the unspoken.Ponder this - keep it in mind.

If you would beseecha blessing upon yourself, beware!lest without intentyou invoke a curse upon a neighborat the same time.If you pray for the blessing of rainupon your crop which needs it,by that act you are possibly prayingfor a curse upon some neighbors crop

By Neal Vitale

After the warm springlike weekend,Monday, March 19, 1973 seemed un-reasonably cold. The sun was shiningbrightly on the Federal Building in Con-cord, New Hampshire, but the wind wasgusting around it. Inside, Gary Woodswent on trial for three counts of selectiveservice violation, shortly before I 1 am.

Gary Woods has long been opposed tokilling of any sort, and has said that hewould rather be killed than kill someonein self-defense. He is dedicated to theideal of non-violence, and has maintainedthat dedication throughout his life.Clearly, his is not a case of pacifism-come-lately; Gary's mother could showyou letters written to the draft board,saying how his family had to wait until heleft before they could kill flies around thehouse. Many of the roots of Gary'sunflagging commitments stem from hischildhood, a childhood of living on AirForce bases with his parents; his father,now a colonel in the Air Force, wasinvolved in the Vietnam War, was themost highly decorated soldier in theKorean conflict, and fought and waswounded in both that "police action"and World War II.

The matter of Gary Woods' non-co-operation with the selective service hasbeen neither covert or terribly recent, aswell. He has never made any attempt todeny or hide his resistance, having writtenletters and more letters informing thedraft board that he had no intention ofcomplying with their regulations, and hasbeen in contact with members of the FBIconcerning his status. Only in the lastyear was he called from a class andarrested.

In the court on Monday, Gary chal-lenged none of the twelve jury selections;the prosecution objected to three, twoyounger people and one who had hisyounger brother go AWOL. Thus, thejury was eight men and four women, allof whom, save one, were white-haired andwho looked at least forty. It was to be ajury of twenty-odd-year old Gary Woods'peers.

Compromise is something that hasbeen almost non-existent in Gary Woods'life. He denied any thoughts of a defer-ment or conscientious objector statusbecause the government would just re-place his body with someone else's, anduse the new person for shooting andkilling in Gary's place. He felt it would becowardly to apply for a CO status. Hedefended himself in Concord rather thantaking a lawyer; he did not want dealsbeing made with the judge in return formodifications of his ideals.

And so, Gary Woods now faces apossible ten year jail sentence for hisbeliefs and for his conscience.

The government's case was virtuallyairtight; they called only'three witnesses.The first was Captain Ografiotis, custo-dian of the records of the local draftboard in New Hampshire. He assertedthat Gary did not carry his draft card, nordid he report for induction. The secondwitness, a female former executive sec-retary for the board, Mrs. McCann cor-roborated the basically technical mattersin question. An FBI man, by the name ofRiley, who looked like someone youmight play basketball with at the Y, saidthat Gary clearly never intended to co-operate with the statutes. There wasnever any real question of guilt regardingthe facts and the existing laws.

Gary entered only two pieces of evi-dence, while the prosecution submittedmany of the draft board's records - aletter from the draft board to the pro-secuting attorney and the ChannelingMemo, a document once used in theprocessing of draftees, but withdrawnfrom the public in 1968 as anti-democratic. Gary asked the Captain, inhis cross-examination, to read parts of thedocuments; they said, for instance, thatthe club of induction has been used todrive men to service and made theselective service sould like butchershandling sides of beef.

The one witness for the defense wasGary's father, Harold Woods, and hestressed the point that it is the draftboard's perogative to classify someone asa CO if they feel that that is the mostsuitable status for him. He said hewouldn't want Gary fighting for him

RI adsenof Atomic City, with gravi-cars purringpast the space-o-mart, etc. Next isa lush,involved piece which resembles DavidBowie circa Hunky Dory, called -ZenArcher:" "Mountains of pain/valleys oflove/ death without life/ and life withoutmeaning." When you hear the next se-quence, "Just Another Onion Head/DaDa Dali," you know Todd stole the wholeformat from Zappa. Finally, rock is here-to stay with "When the Shit Hits theFan/Sunset Blvd.," then into the reprieveof "International Feel."

Side one, like both the inside andoutside covers, and the inner sleave,carries a dizzyingly high information den-sity, a magical, masterful tour-de-force,with but two features consistant throughthe clutter (besides the generally in-genious composition and execution):Mark Klingman's superb use of the Moog;and, by contrast, the absence of Todd'sblazing guitar work, save a momentaryflash at the end of "You Need YourHead." Said Todd in a Rolling Stoneinterview a year ago: "I got so facile onthe guitar that there was nowhere left forme to go and it began to boreme...Making a reputation as a heavyguitarist is too much of a hassle, likebeing a gun-fighter in the Old West,

everybody always trying to cut youdown."

Side two, A True Star, is more downto earth, but, in spots. hardly less preco-cious. Most of the tracks are of theMotown variety, leaning heavily on horns,piano, and sax work. Todd's true musicatallegiences show through when he spinsten-minute medley comprised of theImpressions' "I'm So Proud," SniokeyRobinson's "Ooh Baby Baby," theDelfonics' "La La Means I Love You,"and the Capitols' "Cool Jerk." Elsewhere,_Hungry For Love" sound like JohnnyRivers meets Sparks, and "I Don't WantTo Tie You Down" is a lovely ballad witha trick ending; "is It My Name'?- is acrackling Who circa 1967 imitation, and'Just One Victory" finds Todd crooning

away with more mellow, merry Motownmelodies.

A Wizard/A True Star is as crisp as aJanson Eding Clapper Salad, as coni-nmercial as NBC's M),ster:v Mlovie, as won-drous as a handful of pixie dust. as fey assilver-and-pink, battery-opperated noveltyshoes. Warm sumnier night cruisin' downBayview Terrace in the lime-green Chal-lenger, flying saucers over McDonald'sGolden Arches, this albuin is the nazz,with god-given ass.

A Wizard/A True Star - Todd Rundgrem(Bearsville)

A Wizard/A True Star is ToddRundgren's masterpiece. His Sgt. Pepper.His 62 home runs in one season. Eversince Nazz, Todd's mid-Sixties Anglo-philic cruisin' rock band with the unde-served bubblegum reputation, disbandedafter three excellent rock-pop albums, thecosmic sylph has been flitting around arecord of this stunning quality and un-bounded imagination like a moth before aflame. He got mildly scorched when herecorded Something/Anything? about ayear ago, but it was a double alburn set,and couldn't keep going for four sides.With A Wizard/A True Star, Todd plungesantennae-first into the brimstone of hisown mad genius, only to arise, phoenix-like, a wizard, a true star.

Not only is this record ambitious, butit is also long: six minutes shy of an hour,or an average of 27 minutes per side.Happily, there is very little filler material:virtually every track is deviously enter-aining, although the two sides evinceradically diverse sides of the musician.

Side one is the magical side. I mention-ed Sgt. Pepper; A Wizard more resemblesFrank Zappa's parody of Sgt.Pepper,We're Only In It For the Money, in thatwhole songs, bits and snatches of songs,and stray comments and noises ale con-catenated together into an everchangingkaleidoscope of insane musical tangents.Although much of the material is aboutrock or rock stars, and rock is at times anintegral ingredient, none of this stuffcould hold a candle to Deep Purple or theStones or Alice Cooper six nmonthes ago,as rock. The musical base is more wide-ranging: much of the music is derivedfrom Broadway show-tunes and T.V.soundtrack music.

There are approximately twelve dif-ferentiable tracks on side one, openingand closing with the psychedelic, anthem-like "International Feel;" based on a rifffrom Todd's great single "Couldn't I JustTell You," and sounding a little likeSpirit's "Mr. Skin" near the end, the songis submerged in an electronic whirlpool ofphasing, distortling, and fuzzing, finallyto blend into a schmaltzy rendition of"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan, abeautiful but relatively obscure songthese days, fortunately not played todeath as was "When You Wish Upon aStar," which served as theme music (andstill does) for Walt Disney's televisionshow. Todd's version of "Never, NeverLand" deserves to be a single. Next comesa busy little instrumental called "Tic TicTic," which resembles the interlude musicon Nilsson's The Point pseudo-soundtrackrecord, except that here most of the workis done with synthesizer.

Some chaotic, very ill-tempoed, fitfullmachinations follow, titled "You NeedYour Head" and "Rock and Roll Pussy"respectively, and appear to be all Toddwants to say concernhng John Lennon'sprimal rushes and/or the near extinct acidrock genre. This fades into '"DogfightGiggle," a couple minutes of vaguelyerotic electronic blips and Weeps.

Todd Rundgren, since his earliest days,has patterned his dress after the Britishfop rockers, where "fop" was a nice wayof saying "fag," and I don't mean cigar-ettes. Now that everyone else has caughtup, on both sides of the Atlantic, and itseven fashionable to openly admit to areasonable amount of switch-hitting,Todd counters with "You Don't Have ToCamp Around," the message being "stowthe mincey lithping," sweet boy, I loveyou just the way you are.

Still there's more. "Flamingo,"another instumental, while punctuated bysynthesized chirping noises, sounds basically like the score of some 1935 sci-fimovie, portraying the downtown bustle

John McLaughlin

orchestrati@nby Ken Davis

From the moment he steps on thestage, you know he's going 'to be good.Anyone who has the nerve to play thatdouble-necked monster had better begood. You can tell by the respect hecommands - when he asks for a fewmoments of silence, you could hear a pindrop in the Aquarius, except for a babycrying somewhere in the back. Thedrummer begins striking a gongrhythmically, hypnotically. Then JohnMcLaughlin plays.

McLaughlin and the MahavishnuOrchestra have reached the point of beingthe best in their field.-Future attempts atmerging jazz and rock will be measuredagainst their accomplishments, as allfuture blues-oriented rock must bemeasured against the brilliance of EricClapton and Duane Allman on the Laylaalbum.

Mahavishnu consists of a rhythmsection which provides the framework forthree soloists to improvise and play offagainst each other. Bassist Rick Laird ismore than adequate, but it is drummerBilly Cobham who shines.

Cobham is' the glue that holdsMahavishnu together. It may be anexaggeration to say that hie plays betterwith his feet than most drummers dowith their hands, but only slightly so. It israre to see anyone give 1 00% for an entirehour and a half set. Cobnam almost neverresorts to the normal repetative rhythmsof the average drum mer - hisimprovisations are as far reaching as thoseof anyone else in the band.

Jerry Goodman, Jan Hammer andMcLaughlin ave developed an incrediblerapport among themselves, and withCobhamand Laird. This is partially due toMcLaughlin's willingness to share andyield center stage. No one is permitted todominate. At one point during their recentBoston concert, McLaughlin waved thespotlight off himself over to Hammer.

;. it'.The Czechoslovakian keyboard playertook' the lead more often than theprevious two times I have seenMahavishnu perform.

Violinist Goodman proves that theelectric violin can be more than PapaJohn Creach's headache producer.Goodman's classical training shows in hissolos as well as in his restraint and tastewhile he is providing a background forMcLaughlin and Hammer. He plucks andstrums his instrument to produce a widevariety of interesting tones.

Then there's John McLaughlin, one ofthe finest guitarists of the last ten years.Besides his usual electric work,McLaughlin did one piece on acoustic, "ALotus On Irish Streams" from InnerMounting Flame. He was at his bestsoloing in "Birds of Fire," the opening

Believing. Another strength to this albu.-'is that th~e arrangements are done w.taste - no burial of Alice's pleasant vo-beneath electrified instruments. A pripexample of this fact is a cut called "Dor-Cry" in which Alice makes goo use of hvocal range and electric guitar abilitbesides featuring some fine fiddle wo_by Andy Stein.

Alice demonstrates her acoustic, blustyle guitar playing on a renditionBlidn Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues-This version is by far the most innovati-arrangement of the song to come alonea good long while, mostly because of t__instrumental mix and Alice's fine, vUowork.

Another highlight is an Alice Stua_com~positioxn "H-e's Leavirfg- Me- Again

was the Crosby-Nash show at the MusicHall some l 8 months ago. That was anight of very pleasant surprises, for C andN1 were joined by S and, belatedly, Y. The

iwarm-up act w^as Judee Sill, doing thleclassic vocal-and-acoustic-guitar bit, and

lshe was delighitful. A -pleasant surprisealso boecause, as we all know by now,warmn-up acts quality is a very variablething.

Speaking a classics, Judees wore thelall-but-traditional shackles of drug ad-dictionl and prostitution out in Californiafor quite a while, prior to her recordingcareer; many of her songs reflect that lifeand her escape fromn it. In fact, she seemsto have a knack for conceiving an.inafinitevariety of metaphors on salvation. Theonly real problem with her new album,Hleart Food is her failure to develop thosemetaphors in unique, entertaining ways.

In compensation, Judee offers us well-textured, rich vocals, a good variety ofinstrumental styles, and finle soaringmelodies. Occationally, when she holdsback the words a bit, everything worksperfectly -as in "The Kiss," which is myfavorite heart food. Most o f the time,though, I get the feeling that she tried toput a syllable on each and every beat -quantity instead of quality - and theresult is a crowded feeling, as in "ThePearl." which isn't quite, o:nd "There's aRugged Road," which is.

Judee records on the A sylum label,which is owned by one David Geffen.Geffen has done some amazing things inhis life: ha got together three out-of-workmusicians named Nash, Stills, and Crosby,who, of course, turned the music industryon its ear. Dave currently managesAmerica, and has worked closely with the"1new" (original) Byrds, the Eagles, allgroups exploring the value of the folk-rock fusion that exploded under CSN(+Y). If you're interested in any of thesebands, this style, or rock history ingeneral, David Geffen is a man to watch.

I'm still curious about a remark Judeemnade when I first ran into her at thatconcert. She complained about being,forced to use fairly extensive orchestra-tion on her just-completed first album; Iseem to remember that she thought the French horns were especially un-Inecessary, On the new albunl, we find thecridits make it clear that she did the'arrangements And there are two photosof Judee conducting the orchestra. What Ican't figure out is why. After, her corn-inents and her fine performance, my hopeis that she'll use just her own guitar onthe next album, which would possiblyinspire words more subtle and simplethan those offered as Heart Food- Getback to your beginnings, Judee, and itcould be a knockout.

ly-pro duced final prod ucts. Ca ptulred L ivewas another bowl of puppy chow, how-ever, for the raw, blitzing energy andsheer excitement of the record was asastounding as it was unexpected. It was abitch, it really was, in fact, for a while itwas a favorite record, in some circles, toget stoned to. The versions of "Nobody,""Try a Little Tenderness," "One," "Eli'sComing," "Chest Fever," and "Heaven IsIn Your Mind" were for the most partbetter than their studio counterparts,looser, yet more head on, and, above all,more convincing.

Butithat was a while ago. The Dog hasindeed conquered the world, but hasgrown fat and lazy in the meantime, nowhopelessly emulsified in the AM creamcheese consciousness that sells recordsbut isn't worth a dogc-.ap in the eyes ofthose who have been walking the dogsince before the beginning. This two-album live package, a dubious souvenirfrom some recent world tour or other, isa real bite on the leg, The material speaksfor itself; of their 16 singles, the last tenare included, i.e., from "SMama Told MeNot To Come" on, plus "Eli's Coming,"om~itting "Celebrate," "Easy To BeHard," "Try a Little Tenderness," and"One." And those singles which are in-cluded are all pretty wimpy to beginwith, with the exception of "Out in theCountry," "One Mari Band," and perhaps"Family of Man." To make mattersworse, the versions on this set are exceed-ingly sloppy. The vocals: Danny Chuckand Cory used to sing from their balls;now they can barely stay together or onkey.-In~strurnental backing: the other fourDogs seem about ready to be put to sleep,especially guitarist Mike Allsup, whoplays .311 the important Three Dog Nightsingle hooks with the flash oft al12-year-old with a Woolworth's Music-Maker GT. So this Gbre~atest Hits cavalcadefalls pretty much on its face. Only `0neM~an Band" even hints at the Three D~og.Night of old; "EFli's Coming" is ruined atthe outset by a lot of interruptions during-the delicate opening teaser vocals (inter-ruptions by the D~ogs themselves, snakingextraneous little comments); "Out in theCountry" is buried there.

To flesh out the rest of the album, thedudes at Dunhill picked some truly ran-dom stuff: "Good Feeling 1957" a Fif-ties tune off It Ain't Easy, is massacred;"Midnight Runaway" and a throwawaycalled "6Jam" are sheer padding; and the-reare two cuts called "Drum Solo" and"Organ Solo." On the former, shirtlessFloyd Sneed gets a chance to show offwith his transparent drum kit, anddoesn't know what to do for five min-utes. The latter is also maddening, as JimGreenspoon farts around, always onl theverge of getting into "Chest Fever." Henever does.

The only cut on the whnole damnalbum that caused me to smile was a tunethe Dog did for a forgotten movie, X, Y.and Zee, called "Going In Circles," mel-losw yet powerful.

To sum up, these four sides representthe better part of a night with Three DogNight. And it would seem that not onlycan't you teach an old dog new tricks,some Dogs can't even rememrber their oldones-

number, and during the encore of "Danceof Maya" and '"Awakceneing;" brilliant!using dynamics and intermingling bits anpieces o:f various numbers, McLaughlislowly lowered the volume o f his guitasdrawing the audience's attention deeps-and deeper before building back up to thby now familiar closing fiff.

Rounding out the bill at the Aq uariuwas country singer-guitarist Rickc Robert-formerly of the Flying Burrito Brother-Roberts appeared unsannounced, whicwas definitely an error or; the part of thpromoters. Roberts was treated ratht-rudely by the audience, who neit;heexpected nlor particularly wanted to hea

Hurry Up or Il'l Be Thirty

19g be ninetyby P.E. Schindler, jr.- - -

Every once in a while, you see one ofthose films that makes you wonder whereit is taking you. Ifurijy Up or I71l BeThirty was one of those films. At first.

It looked like another Eat City or thatstupid rodeo film you have all forgotten(I hope), Junior Bonner. But somehowHurry Up transcends its humble begin-nings and goes on to become a watchable,if not exciting, film.

For those whoe pocketbooks deniedthem an opportunity to see the filmsrefered to: the genre of the ";real" moviewas very big last yeah- Films that showedsemi-seedy p eople in authentic and se edylocations won Critical kudos as "mean-ingful real-life drama.>' What they lackedin dramatic plot they did not make up forin uninspired acting by amnateur bitplayers.

Hurry Up starts out that way; thestory of a printer out in Brooklyn who issleeping with a floozy bar-mnaid type,buck lacks any excitement or meaning inlife. He tried a single bar in Manhattan(here, as usual, the center of the cityplays the role of villian) where a gyp-artist porno show producer befriends himin an effort to get support for a play.While he is there, George Tripani (ourprinter) meets the beautiful young actresswho won't take her clothes off for the.audition. So-mehow, you know she willtake them off for hion

She does, but it is here that the artificeof the movie is really built. At first, oneassumes that she will tire of slummningwith the simple Italian boy. You event-ually accept their relationship and start towonder about the resolution. POW!t!!She's gone, the floozy is sleeping with hisbest friend, his father has taken over thefamily business again, and George is leftas a thirty year old failure.

Still no plot. Still, some funny acting,But now, interest, excitement, stispence.A real film about real people that isn'tboring or disgusting. The credit, theysay, goes to: John Lefkowitz as George,Maureen Byrns as the floozyr, LindaDeC<off as the nice actress, and thedirector-producer-co-writer JosephJacoby (whose name flashes son the screena lot at the beginning of the film.

oo�sr,�,rooclHarvard will be strong, as usuaWisconsin, who won the Eli-Eights in the Head, will also, tough. Easier competition thalast year should be Northeasterwho lost most of their Henlerunner-up crew through gradu.tion. Doormats again this ye-will probably be Yale, Columb:.Marist, and Cornell. The on-team stronger this year couldDartmouth. With the warweather we've had, the ice cthe Connecticut River meltvearlier than usual. This has givwthem a chance to get out on tlwater earlier in the year.

This year's MIT crews shoufinish well in the Sprints and t-IRA's. The heavies should bethe top three of each regat-and the lights should be in tVtop four. Good luck to all crew

very beneficial toward the late"real" season.

The large fraction othe remainder of the squad -lacking in true experience, anno rational comments as to abiity can be made so early in thyear.

Lacrosse is a wide-operhard-fought game and is right"named "the fastest sport on twfeet." The continuous actiomakes the games fun to be spectator to as well as to be particpant in. Onlookers are alwa},welcome, and games are a!nounced in The Tech. Comesee one - you won't bdisappointed.

many returning lettermen.Stroked by National Lightweightoarsman Peter Bilfings '73, thevarsity lights should place in thetop four finishers in this year'sEastern Sprints held at Worces-ter on May 12.

The freshman crews, heavy-weight and lightweight, arealmost always hard to judge be-fore they get into actualcompetition. So far this year,the frosh heavies have beatenevery one they have racedagainst. This includes both thevarsity heavies and the varsitylights. If they can get past Har-vard in the Sprints, an invitationfrom Henley would be almostguaranteed.

The competition seems to bethe same quality as last year.

Spring has once again arrivedand soon that hearty group willtake the field in the noble, if not-often brutal, cause of lacrosse.The turnout this year, n;s usual,was poor in three respects: size,numbers, and experience. Withthis in mind, it is not unlikelythat this spring's team will havea slow start.

It could have been better.Steve Cochi, last yearns leadingscorer, all New England, etc.,graduated in January, deprivingthe squad of its best threat onattack. On the other half of thefield, twice-lettering defensemanRich Galik '73 is unable to playdue to knee surgery. To compli-cate matters, several of lastyear's starters have simply notshown up for the 1973 season.

This of course has made ittough on Coach Ben Martin andassistant Bob Schulte '71, whomust get the guys ready for thetough road trip. The weather hascertainly been a help (unlikepast years) with the warm tem-peratures allowing outdoor prac-tices, which are infinitely morehelpful and instructive thanthose held in Rockwell Cage.The coaching staff and playershave taken full advantage of theprevailing conditions, even prac-ticing on Sundays.

As usual, this year's road tripportends to be brutal. FairleighDickenson (Madison) is noslouch and Hofstra and C.W.Post are perennially among thebest Long Island teams - andthat's saying quite a mouthful.The fourth opponent, New YorkInstitute of Technology, has nev-er faced an MIT squad before;but the outcome, at best, is indoubt. Although the road tripaverage is rarely better than onefor four, the contests give theTech squad a better sense of thegame and let them "see how it'splayed"; the trip proves to be

By Dan GanttIt's that time of year again!

Spring training is in full swing inFlorida not only for the pros,but soon also for MIT's varsitybaseball team. The Engineersleave tomorrow for the warmweather and a five-game roadtrip that includes a pair of gameseach with Embry Riddle and theFlorida Institute of Technologyand a single contest with Bow-doin, another New England teamsearching for some sun.

MIT's chances this season reston a number of question marks.The biggest of these certainlymust be the pitching staff. Theonly varsity hurler returningfrom the 1972 squad is DaveYauch '75, and he has beenplagued with arm troubles.Freshman Mike Royal, wholooked impressive during thefall, is being counted on to carry

OE is UneR2 fla great deal of the pitchingchores. Bill Billings '73 and JohnCavolowsky '76 round out thestaff which regretfully has ashortage of varsity experience.

Hopefully, this can be count-ered by a strong offense andsound fielding. Hard-hittingHerb Kummer '75 at first andDave Tirrell '74, last year'sGreater Boston League All-Starthird baseman who has beenmoved back to his natural posi-tion at second, anchor the in-field. Vince Maconi '76 appearsto have the inside track at thirdwith Ray -Henriksson '76 andMike Dziekan '76 fighting forthe shortstop job.

The outfield appears solidwith returning starters KevinRowland '74 in left and SteveReber '74 in center. Either TomLeise '74 or Bill Sayers '74 couldget the nod in rigit.

"The Baron," Rick Charpie173, is set to handle the catchingduties, but has been hamperedby early spring injuries. Back-upcatcher Bob Train '74 is ready,however, to step into the start-ing role.

The Florida trip should serveto clear up a lot of the questionsand to prepare the squad for itsalways rough 19 game New En-gland schedule. The Engineersopen at home in a 3 pm contestApril 3 against Boston College intheir quest for a GBL crown.

that Tech crew fans have beenwaiting for. Never in the pastfew years has the potential of allsquads been so high.

T he varsity heavyweightscome into the spring after takingthe Elite Fours event in last fall'sHead of the Charles Regatta.Having these four men in theboat leaves only four spots tofill. Competition has been quitefierce for those four seats. Atthis time, there are five or sixqualified people for these posi-tions, which means that CoachPeter Holland will be able to puttogether one of his best crewsever.
