Prospects are becoming in-creasingly dim for developmentof -t'he 20-acre -- MIT-ownedSimplex factory site, purchasedfor $12.75 million two and ahalf years ago.

Plans for a-1200-unit housingdevelopment on the site .havebeen prepared by the InstitutePlanning 'Office, but a softhousing market, a sluggish econ-omy, and rising constructioncosts and taxes may force indef-inite postponement of financingand construction arrangements.'

Development now would bean "expensive, perhaps hazar-dous undertaking," according toproject director 'Dick Dover,who presented the plans at anopen meeting of the Corporation.Joint Advisory Committee(CJAC) last Thursday evening.He was'accompanied by otherPlanning Office officials andVice President Kenneth Wad-leigh.

Average monthly rent for atwo-bedroom, 1 000sq uare-footapartment 'would · be $438,according to projections madelast spring on the basis of 80unit/acre "quality" construction- at the level of Harvard's Pea-body Terrace on Memorial Drive

- and long-term, low-interestfinancing :under a state program which requires one-fourth of theunits to be subsidized for low-income tenants.

At such a high price it isexpected,-that the 900 non-subsidized units would beespecially difficult to fill. Plan-ning Office surveys; of MIT stu-_dents, faculty and staff showthat full tenancy under present

By Palul SchindlerHerbert J.'Hollom:n told the

MIT Club of Boston-last Thurs-day that- America faces a "Tech-nological Dilemma." The di-lemma is equally a problem of aSlpply-demand disparity in tech-nological training, and of non-cooperation 'among people.

Hollomon began:with severalobservations. He noted that'USGNP surpassed that of the restof the world at a time'when allsignificant research and develop-ment was imported from Eur-ope. The US R&D effort did notget a significant boost until theSO's, when it grew' 25% per yearunder government impetus (theindustrial R&Db component wasand is a smalL- fraction of totalR&D).

Yet in 1961, there were dis-turbing signs-for the future,when the derivative of fundingwith respect to time peaked (in- creases continued, but at aSmaller rate); by 1967, the deriv-ative became zero, then- negative.

conditions could be assumedonly with the help of a numberof optimistic estimates.

Prospects for less costly andless risky housing for MIT peo-.ple had seemed much betterwhen the land was originally-bought, Wadleigh admitted. Headded that objectives set duringthis initial optimism -includingthe establishment of "quality"project standards and the pledgeof full tax payment to the city.-were in part responsible for thenearly prohibitive projected ren-tals.

The reasoning, behind the$438 figure is explained in areport prepared for CJAC anddistributed to committee mem-bers at the meeting. It wouldcover the cost of finandcingdesign and construction of rentalunits, parking and "site amen-ities," while allowing MIT a 5%return on its land- investment.The loss on the 300 subsidized.units is also-taken into account.

The cost may well be higherby the time the project is fin-ished - at least five years fromnow. A 10% rise in constructioncosts would increase rents about$30/month, as would a rise intaxes from 25% to 30% of netrental income.

A Planning Office survey ofMIT students, faculty and staffshowed,'according to the report,450 people or families willing topay at least $300/month for oneof the projected units. This fig-ure is increased to 675 on theassumption that many peoplecould be attracted to the project-who would not, at the time ofthe survey, have expressed adesire to live there. 225 people

Cooperation is the only thingwhich will save the world fromsome of the problems it faces,but whether individuas canreally apply themselves to com-mon problems is, in Hollomon'sview, a moot point. "I don'tknow how to accomplish .coop-eration," without cost to indi-vidual rights, he added, butthelick of aneasy answer does notmean that no attempt should bemade.,

During the question and an-swer period, Hollomon predictedthat Nixon will announce a ma-jor non-science, non-defensetechnological effort in January.

The Simplex site, sur-rounded by a noisy truckingterminal, a candy factory, andnumerous small auto - bodyshops, is presently "a damneddepressing area," as Wadleighput it; a project of less than acertain critical rize would beoverwhelmed by its sur-roundings, -idestroying much ofthe appeal it might have fortenants who could afford it.

Several ways rents might belowered were also discussed atthe meeting. The simplest expe-dient would be cheaper con--struction - through a less costlydesign or greater density. Unfor-tunately, Wadleigh pointed out,

it does not appear that the num-ber of people attracted by lowerrents will greatly exceed thenumber repelled by lower qual-ity. Rents could also be keptdown if Cambridge grantedlower taxes as an incentive, butMIT. has already pledged not torequest special tax treatment.

MIT might also forego the 5%0return on its land investment fora number of years - in effect,subsidizing the project itself -on the theory that with "qualityconstruction," at least, the buil-dings themselves would even-tunafy tirm a profit for manyyears. ILnd costs account foronly $30/unit/month, however.

One way out which has notyet been fully investigated isfurther government subsidy forstudent and faculty housing. A

combiriation of several state andfederal programs might be em-ployed, possibly along withthesale of some units as condo-miniums (giving their tenants atax break).

The Institute would also liketo develop part of the Simplixland for commercial tenants, inthe manner of Harvard's Holy-oke Center in Harvard Square.Competition for commercial ten-ants in Cambridge is alreadyintense, however, so no action islikely in the near future unless amajor tenant can be found.

If the land continues unused,MIT might give up the role ofdeveloper and sell it. A profit-

,making developer would benefit-from tax breaks that MIT, whichpays no taxes, could not claim.The Institute, of course, would

lose control over what would bebuilt right next to it - thiscontrol-was one of the statedreasons for buying Simplex -but according to a PlanningOffice official, the cost of iheland would preclude almost any-thing but the high-quality con-struction MIT had in mind.

MIT's housing. problems at

Simplex -are similar to those ofthe'' city -as a whole, which An-tony Herrey -of the MIT RealEstate Office explained briefly.The; demand for housing isacute, yet many people: can nolonger afford even what there is.The situation is critical, but thetrend is unclear.

dissipating. After a while, fully awake, he ate breakfast.At.7:45,. Eddleman~was.back at the offices.At 8 .am, Paul Gray appeared, trailed by Nyhart. He

noved from door to door-Johnson's door, the officialteakwood: door, Killian's door. At each entrance hepaused to read a statement through a bullhorn: that he isPaul E.-Gray, Associate Provost, and is authorized to bein:those offices, but that those in the offices are notauthorized to- be in the offices, and are liable toprosecution for criminal tresspass, and internal discipli-nary acion.a Many hundred-copies of this statement wereleft behind; it had been offset printed by MiT graphicarts service the night before. Gray made the rounds ofthe doors a second timne.

:People started to gather outside in the corridor as theday began; more campus patrol,. a few faculty members.

Shortly before 9 am, Eddleman was told by anemissary from the occupied area that those in Killian'soffice wanted to see him. He went in. The occupierswere having another lengthy meeting. Eddleman recalls:"Somebody asked me, what did the faculty think aboutall this? And I said, 'You know, the faculty is reallyupset. They'ithink if you can take over this office youcan take their lab.' And everybody says 'Right on!' Andi'mn sitting-there stunned. [Chuckles.] I didn't expectthat."

Eddleman gave his opinion of the administration,which.was somewhat uncomplimentary.

And Eddleman gave tactical advice. Asked whether heguessed that the occupation could get support from thestudent. body, whether the number of persons in the.cu.pied offices might be increased, Eddleman's thoughtprocesses shifted into a curious mode. Eddleman, once aremark in a conversation set him to thinking about some"tactical problem-what landmarks the Russianswoulduse should they' wish to drop their atomic warheadsfrom bombers, and whether Kresge Auditorium or theGreat Dome would be one; or how the refugees fromPakistan were costing India so much to support that thecost of having a war with Pakistan was negligible, andmight kill off refugees and potential refugees, with anenormous saving to India resulting, so that India mightas well have a war-any tactical remark would startEddleman on a train of amoral tactical speculations, inthe manner of a Herman Kahn of the counterculture.

Did the occupiers now have, or could they get,massive support from the student body? Eddleman didnot think so. And if they sat there without support,eventually they would get clobbered.

Eddleman slipped into a seat in the war room at 9:15,tardy by fifteen minutes. In the -disorientation ofarriving late' at a meeting, he gathered that theconversation Was on the possibility of obtaining aninjunction. His mind was now on the 8.04 quiz which hewould take in 45 minutes; he could not concentrate onwhat was being said at the meeting.

Soon, he realized what was happening to him-he wasbecoming inattentive because he was becoming drowsy.His mind was fogging. Hell. The effects of the Coca Colawere wearing off. He understood that he must find aCoke machine before the quiz or he was doomed. It wasalready 9:40. He had twenty minutes. He left themeeting and descended to the basement, where clustersof vending machines sat throughout the maze ofbuildings.

Eddleman managed to arrive at the third floor ofWalker Memorial early, having rapidly located twelve

ounces. of the life-giving liquid. Dutifully collectingstudent opinion like a good student politician, he talkedfor a while with those around him, who were waiting forthe quiz to begin and had abandoned any efforts at lastminute cramming. They were remarkably indifferent;the contrast to the emotional stances of some facultymembers was striking. These students simply were notinterested in the takeover, though they tended to agreewith the demands, albeit rather dispassionately. The useof police under any circumstances, however, was totallyabhorrent to them.

The room fell silent. Test papers were beingdistributed. A proctor stood at the front of the room"You will have one hour to take this examination," hesaid.

The students' eyes drifted from the proctor to theirdesks, where examinations now rested face down on thepastel-tinted formica surfaices. The'proctor, and hisdroning standard instructions, faded from consciousnessas the students tried to make out the lines of xeroxed

typewritten words, tantalizingly indecipherable thoughtn -u,~BlUeeint paper. Everyone tensed for the moment

when the exam would begin, when at each desk, theeuram would be flipped over like some loathsome serpent

handled rapidly for fear of its poison sting, and either aMoan-- or a chortle of elation would be involuntarilyuttered by each test taker ...

And it -was at this-tense moment that the proctor at:the front of the room, now 'completely forgotten,

whipped out a starter's pistol, raised it at the ceiling, andfired. -

BANG !The synapses in Eddleman's brain, containing the

secrets of the universe that he had stared at for three-hours the previous night, shattered. For an-instant, hismind was engulfed in a torrent of Coca Cola. The floodsubsided. The equations of quantum physics had beenwashed away.

For a moment, Eddleman sat in his chair, numb. Asearch was taking place through the downed memprybanks of his mind.for the remains of 8.04. Suddenly,there was calm. A picture was forming in Eddleman'smind, a dim picture that suddenly became very distinct,of one of the pages of the 8.04 lecture notes. More pagesfollowed, until Eddleman could literally see every pageof the lecture notes he had crammed the night before,could read off any equation written on any page. He feltnow a quiet elation.

For he knew, suddenly, that he- was completelyattuned to the expectations of those who had taught thecourse and prepared the quiz; for each question, heknew as well as if he could read their minds exactly whatit was they wanted the student to answer; he saw everyhidden nuance in every question, and every questionseemed to include in coded form its own answer, seemedto be saying, "this is what you should reply." And hecould supply from his vision of the lecture notes anyequation that he might need.

He was completely attuned to the "hiddencurriculum" that years of research had given DeanSnyder an- inkling of; he knew suddenly that he wasGoing To Do All Right.

Keshner returned to the joint meeting of the facultycouncil and FAG/SAG at 10:30.

Gary Gut, a SAG member, was walking around theroom, shouting. The object of his venom appeared 'to bethe chairman of the faculty, William Ted Martin.Apparently, the meeting had turned to a discussion ofthe request by members of SAG that the GeneralAssembly resolution be read to the faculty by Martin.Martin had not felt that that would be appropriate.

Martin, does not remember the incident:This all blurs in my mind now, so I can't confirm or deny

that.... Unfortunatly, I don't recall that, but that wouldn't becontrary-that is, I would suspect that if such a thing came, Iwould talk it over with the faculty advisory group. And the merereading of something by the chairman of the faculty might tendto put some stamp of approval on it.... -

Also, I'm not at all sure that -that's the-- mean, first of all, Iwould disapprove of that request and secondly I don't know thatthe statements of the General Assembly-there were two waysfor the General Assembly-they might get their spealng throughsome faculty member ... or the dean for student affairs, but Inever looked upon the chairman of the faculty as spokesman forthe General Assembly. The chairman of the faculty is supposedto represent the faculty ...

Gut Would walk a few steps around the perimeter ofthe crowded conference table, stop, furiously spit out afew words, and resume stalking round the table.

Martin sat at the table impassively.Finally Gut simply stopped and sat down. He had not

finished in any sense; he- had turned off. It had beenGut's argument, it seemed, that everyone in this roomwas relying heavily on their belief that the group inoccupancy in the president's and chairman's suite ofoffices was not representative of, or supported by, theundergraduates, and some had made pious statements onthis lack of support. But it was- then perfectly correct,and in fact necessary, that the faculty agree to hear theopinions of the group that was representative of studentopinion: the General Assembly. And, as a mark ofacknowledgement that the faculty recognized therepresentative stature of the GA, it was appropriate thatthe chairman of the faculty read the resolution.

No, repeated Martin, it was not appropriate that hedo that.

Ted, said Howard Johnson, of course you'll do this.(Johnson cannot remember the incident either.)

For a third time Martin repeated that he did not wishto read the resolution of a student group.

Apparently, Wiesner made some effort to convinceMartin as well, though this is uncertain. Martin's mindwas unaltered.

Nyhart volunteered to.read the statement.As it turned out, there were no further faculty

meetings during the crisis.

EddIeman finished the exarnination with two minutesto spare. He did not feel any typicalI student desire tofeverishly look over his answers; what he felt wa~ notconfidence, but rathecr the quiet knowledge that he hadsuccessfully given the replies the test questions hadwhispered to him. He began to pull on his coat, thinkingthat he would turn in has paper and leave early.

There was an explosion. The proctor lowered thepistol.

Again, Eddleman was shattered.He went to the basement of building two, where he

found a collection of several vending machines. At oneof tihem, he inserted coins and purchased-a half pintcontainer of milk. He then returned to the war roommeeting.

There was only one empty seat, in the middle of oneside of the table-one empty chair among all the costlyswivel chairs and massive wooden seats-which Eddle-man took.

A seat next to Eddleman was occupied by ProfessorGyftopoulos. Shortly after Eddleman had seatedhimself, Gyftopoulos leaned over to ask where he hd-gone. It was perhaps considered unusual behavior forEddleman to come and go at a meeting with thepresumed importance of this one, although administra-tors slipped in and out of the meeting frequently. They,though, were understood to have important duties.(Gray, for example, -was present at relatively fewmeetings after the offices were taken over. He stayed inthe buffer zone of Johnson's office, "essentially thewhole time. And I was around [there] with the explicitypurpose of trying to identify as many people as Icould.")

Eddleman replied that he had been taking an 8.04final. Hmm, said Gyftopoulos.

Perhaps five minutes later there was a lull in theconversation. Gyftopoulos rose. He said that some of thepeople around the table may have noticed that WellsEddleman had been absent from the meeting for a while,and he had been absent because he had gone to take his8.04 final.

The meeting-FAG, -SAG, the- deans, the vicepresidents, the provost, the president-gave Eddleman anovation.

After all, here was an uplifting example, in the midstof this challenge to the rationality and good works ofthe Institute-how could anybody doubt the essentialgoodness of this open university-in the midst of thischallenge from a band of ultimatum-presenting,office-occupying radicals, an example of how studentsand faculty could go forward, unimpeded by thesemalcontents, with the important work of educating-themen and women who must go forth from the universityto guide the society, to create the future of the humanrace, and so on.

: Actually, Eddleman was an example of how studentscould do well on tests because they understood not thesubject matter so much as how to take tests. He was anexample of how students could cram for exams despite aradical challenge. And it was obvious enough how thatcould be done: the challenges consisted of no more thanthe takeover of an administrative office in a symbolicact, as a response to the expulsion of Albert-whichseemed to some to be itself a symbolic act.

Eddleman was applauded. In less than a half hour, hewould be resented-perhaps, in the wave of immediateanger over what he would do, even hated.

Johnson prodded the discussion. He had someone-either Wynne or Wadleigh-discuss the mechanism ofobtaining an injunction, and what it would mean, andthe alternative of simply bringing the police on campusto arrest trespassers.

Johnson then wanted opinions. And, shortlythereafter, he asked for a vote. Johnson offered twoalternatives: bringing in the police, or obtaining aninjunction.

The mechanics of obtaining an injunction were asfollows:

MIT's lawyers would draft a. temporary restrainingorder, which they would then attempt to get the judgethen sitting in a Superior Court to issue. If issued, theorder would enjoin those named-in. this case,presumably simply all the John Does and Jane Does inthe occupied offices-from being in those offices.

If the order was not obeyed, it would be the plaintiffwh6 could return to the court and inform the judge. Itwould then become the judge's business to see that hisorder was obeyed.

An injunction, then, represented a legal step thatcould be taken before recourse to civil authorities, ineffect, an ominous last warning to get out or the policewould be brought in.

And it would be a judge, rather than MIT, that wouldmake the decision to bring in the police. By emphasizingthis when it was all over, ite administration would be inan excellent position to insist to students and liberalfaculty members that the course it had pursued in thecrisis had been measured and moderate; after all, wsedidn't call in the police; control passed out of our handsto the court.

But during the crisis it could be argued that theInstitute would not lose control, since it was MIT thatwould decide when to report back to the court if theinjunction itself did not convince the occupiers to leave.

John Wynne considered that point recently:

Now whether the court would, on its own initiative,. if thepetitioner didn't come back and report.to him-whether thecourt on its own initiHuire would call up and say 'SIdm

~.- ~~S- -~ "MM ~-~~l·ll~~BILLQ· ·~~~MLp _·4·PP-

a h iwn?" or would seek.-M--enfore it fems cves-4 think- hae very uinkely.

- w some places I thinikthe.dicial processes-have been abusedby gettisn an fijunction or temporary restraining order, wayingit''around, but never seeking its enforcemen. I 'd say in thecliunbw in which we were in Janmy of two years ago, to auskfora tmponry restraining order, meant that, in the long run-timeis elastic-you would be almost duty bound to return to tecourt and to report that the-.ider.had not been obeyed. Thejudge then decides what to- do, and "what to do" ay and-probably will involve invoking poice ution A- enrce theorder.. . In that sense, contol is out of your hands.

Apparently, it was understood by all present that the

option of abtaining an injunction meant that if that

injunction itself did not induce the occupiers to vacate,

MIT would return to the court fairly rapidly. It was also

understood that the probability was that a judge who

had been told that his injunction had not-been obeyedwould not be sluggish about sending police to the

campus. This, though, was guesswork.

The other option offered by Johnson was a direct

appeal'to police to remove trespassers.

Again, John Wynne:

All the occupants of the office, persons who went to theoffice, people who might have considered going to the office,were warned as frequently ard as best: as we could warn. dtemthat presence in those offices, tit is, where they were erecting abarrer to presence, was an act of. trespass, and would subject heeviolators of that orer to prosecution for trespass. You can allthe police sand ask them to Marrs and remove trespasserls fromt thlepremises. That's what Harvarddid at University Hall. It-was as.simple an action-I'm not tallying about its overtones, I'm talkingabout its legality-the occupants- were declare'd trespassers, andthle police were cslled to enforce that order.-

I want to pursue'a litle- bit further the question of wfietheryou are in or out of control.' You can declare somebody atrespasse~r, or warn them that they tare a trespasser, but it is up'toyou whether you ask for the enforcement oi tiai, and when youaslc for~ the enforcement of it. On'the 'other hand if you get an-injunction -and serve it, then, you set in motion- a series of events,which you can't be absolutely certain what the tming, what theoutcome is.

The question of what control, if any, MIT might have,.in the courts or with the police is probably undecidable;at any rate, no -hard evidence exists to Wede the matter.-But it would be naive to believe that. the judicial systemwould not be swayed by MIT' s sta tus as a prestigiousuniversity, or, more important, as a taxpayer, even if,contrary to radical beliefs, a judg'e could remainuninfluenced by the Institute's status as a defensecontractor. And it would be similarly naive to believethat -in general MIT would'have no ability to influencethe Inature of a police action on campus.

Wynne, who, as will be seen, spent that afternoon inconference with the chief of police-. of Cambridge (butcannot remember anything concrete about the bust thatthey planned as a contingency), asserts:

If the - lice were to come to the campus, and were in effect'asked to come to deal with a specific situation, the range of oiz,control would be quite limited. We'd try to -work out in advance,for example, opportunities tto have observers fro m the -faculty,,for example, or the student body, present to see what going on,but the city manager and chief of police of Camnbridge, and themayor, -if he wanted to get himself involved, would essentally bemaking the decisions as, to how, to dead wine toe sin-ttion. If,again speculating, thle police had been asked to comae to thecamnpus to clear out the occupiers .of theip'resident's office, in thlefinal analysisthdey would have-nce they had be en asked to do.so-wuld have decided how they would go about doing that.We're again specuiating-they wouldn't. know what they werecontending with, they wouldn't' know, and we don't know,whether doors would bie barricaded, we don't kntow -what theresponses or they don't know what the response would be fromthose who are on the inside, whether they'd try to -fight. Theyhave no way of knowing if they are arme d. And all the rest of it.So that they have toaswuie die responsibility themselves..

-The vote was taken. About 18 or 20 in the crowded

room were in favor of an immediate bust. Perhaps 34favored the alternative of obtaining'an injunction.

Johnson had not offered a vote on what would bedone immediately. The decision on what would be donehad apparently been meant by Johnlson to be a decisionon what would be done at some unstated time in thefuture, when it would be decided that MIT could wait -

no longer for the occupation-to die. And it was Johnsonwho would decide when that time had come.

Yet there was some ambiguity, Eddleman, as will beseen, was convinced that the injunction would be servedas soon as possible; that the-vote had -determined animmediate course of action. It seems possible that otherswere similarly conviunced; in fact, it seems possibly thatthis effect was intended, thatmi not expressly indicatingthat he reserved the decision on timing, to himself,Johnson pacified the conservaive elements at the

meeting PHe gave them a vote on some action. At veryleast, it would seem to conservatives that, sometime.shortly -after 11 on Friday, 23 hours after the'takeover

of the offices, the president had abandoned thoughts of.t=P*4_, * to ,;t' it guts no-matter I,,,t long it ght

take. Either of the two possibilities Johnson had offeredwould lead, sooner or later (should the occupationcontinue),.to the use of police.

Alnost everybody had voted in favor of one ortheother alternatve.

Johnson asked: Are-there any: who agree with ne'ither -alternative?

-And now a student had made -the decision fory*hirn_The game of hicken had-begun. And,,at other,universities, radicals had stayed -'and willingly been'busted, and those universities had collapsed.

IT WAS SOMETIME during the day on.Friday that. Steve Krasner, one of the builders -of thebatterm'g ram, met a friend somewhere in the Corridors;of MIT. His friend had just left the occupied, offices,

which Krasner, who -was on .court probation fromanother case the previous fall, wasi.staying away from.

The walls of the offices, the friend reported, were -being .covered with slogans scrawled in magic -marker,

would use such damage to the officess~as propaganda inan emotional smear- of the -occupiers and as- a diversion from any discussion of the reasons' for, or demands of,the occupation.

Krasner agreed that the slogans should be effaced.He returned to 4-13 3, the welding: lab where

were largely endorsed by the student body, the takeover Ewas not; Three attempts were made from the- floor to fhave such a vote taken, apparently two of them attemptsby radicals, who must have thought the vote would go 1

differently. -Those who' chaired the meeting, and tried to guide C'

the discussion away from the immediate situation, did so -for the usual student politician's reason. There was no lvote on support of the occupation because, as Keshner _recalled recently, "I thought it was inappropriate to the ameeting. The purpose qofthe meeting was to talk about `some of the issues.'. . and notpass judgement on -wh~eter the people had done a good thing or not." And, X

from a practical point of view, "if a vote such as that |hadhappened, it might have defused the meeting to the -point of it going away. At the time, 1 felt that to keep X

the meeting going was important, and not suddenly pass -

judgement on whether the people belonged in themof fice." . .

There was a plausible reason why, even if student i

sentiment were against the takeover itself, studentsmshould not have wanted a vote against the occupation -taken-a reason that,-as it happened, never occurred tothose who -chaired the meeting. A vote deploring thi^takeover would have made an rdministrative decision to :=

call in police easier to defend, and hence, despite all talk aof principlesvand denials of worry ovet constituency-pressures, more likely to'be made as pressure mountedfrorm-alumnii and perhap's faculy cetily & h-lacedifaculty. -.

- tddleman raised his hand,,as did, apparendy, -thrtee-others-the other student present, and two members ofFAJG .- . -

t 'l-looks, said :Johnson, like we should go for theinjunctions

keiinet' Wadleigh had called the Institute's lawvyers,Xo 6-,-were already drafting Mhe text of an injunction, ataib^9 -am, two our's before this vote..- d _dlenian decided that he was hungry, and that he-woei~d~ieddt-ing better to be satisfying his hunger than hewas'doing here. He, eft.

; -He; visited the occupied offices before going to Bakerfort his' commons lunch. Johnson's office containedfewer people than it had recently. Now, only six orperhaps eight carnpus patrolmen were present, and a fewfaculty.members-.

Edd;Teman entered the occupied area and wanderedinto i'Kiilian's office, where the interninable radicalmeeting was continuing. Someone asked him what washappening outside-- the offices. The deans and vicepresiadents voted .that they want an injunction, saidEddeman, giving the figures'of the vote, and it seemsthat is thle path Johnson will follow. And, having slippedinto-his Herman Kahn mode, he continued: ever'bodyrealized at the meeting that getting an injunction-meansbrn"ging in the police; apparently,':you will be busted. Atminimum, it requires, say, five hours to get theinjunction, and another five to return to the court, andfor. the court to get the police here. The earliest possible.bust w.ould then'-be sometime after 8 at night, Friday.But it seemns appe!aling to have a bust at 2. in the morningor 'some time like- that; there may. be fewer'people inthese. offices overnight, and there certainly will be fewerwitnesses of -the bust, and little possibility of the studentbodyw.ork a sizeable' prtion of it, finding out about thearrival of -police and themselves showing up at that hour.

Eddleman also considered traffic, the fact 'that examweeks at the end of the term was approaching, the desirethe-,administration' must have to end the takeover before-the- weekend, when. support could increase? especiallysupport from persons not associated with MIT, whichespecially frightened administrators-outsiders could- notbe dealt with by the discipline, committee, of course, andoutsiders, they somehow felt, would be less inclined tomaintain any standards of civilization than MIT radicals.-Eddleman -also thought of police overtime salaries, thecost-of the bust ..

In the war room, the meeting continued.- Thie discussion',of the injunction was tapering off.

He had tried to be as helpfulto administrators .as he could during November Act~ions,having at that time . set up an elaborate telephone systemthat could reroute calls to administrators' office phonesto a command center in building nine. In fact, he hadearned himself the nickname "Greasy. Creasey" among-SAG 'members. And students had tapped his elaboratephone hookup.

Now, apparently in the employ of John Wynne, he

seemed to be part of a "spy network" (which also,according to a former SAG member, included draftcounselor Amy IMetcalfe, who masqueraded as a coed toenter the occupied offices and look around).

Wells Eddleman, Creasey announced, has just told the

radicals in the occupied offices that they are definitelygoing to be busted.

WelEEs Eddlennn entered Kresge Auditorium andm~oved to a row containing a few adjacent empty seatsthat -caught his eye. He had setted into a chair when hesensid. someone sitting down next to him-Gar Gut.Gut leanhed over and whispered to Eddlernan.

"Johnsoni's out for your ass."Lnges were forming at each. of the microphones

placed in'the aisles. Those who waited to speak were inthe majority sympathetic to the radical viewpoint; theirviews' seemed to meet a favorable reception in general,though pleas for support of the takeover-pleas thatpeople enter the occupied office-had little effect. A fewadministrators stood in the lines, waiting to -say thatthey feared that students had heard only one half of thestory, and were being 'prejudiced- by propaganda. Thenecessity that they wait to speak behind as many as

twenty- "hippie types" with abhorrent ideals seemedunpleasant ,to at least two administrators: some at themeeting remember that Nyhart and Snyder lookedvisably annoyed as they stood in line.

Whispering to Eddleman, Gut finished his explanationof what had happened at the war room meeting afterEddleman's departure for the occupied offices to tell thetrespassers that tiey were to be busted.

Eddleman had decided that -there was nothing hecould do until the bust seemed imminent, when hewould return to the war room and attempt to speak withadministrators, to be present at any police action. Now,he decided'he would attempt to speak to Johnson.

Constantine Simonides, sitting elsewhere in Kresge,was beginning to feel better about the meeting:

Considering -how unprepared, and, I thought, unthinkingly, ithad been planned-htat doesn't mean it woas unthinkinglyplanned, but I thought so in the- morning-I thought it wasamazing that there was not much move polarization. And Iremember having a-fairly good feeling about the opportunity forpeople to talk,-cn retrospect.

Simonides left the meeting with a strengthenedconviction that the occupation and its. support werepetering out.

Others left profoundly depressed-these mostly FAGmembers. Perhaps it was that in having, contnuallyinsisted to SAG that essentially noble principles hadguided the -discipline committee, as they guided theInstitute, they had refused to believe SAG's assertionsthat- the majority of undergraduates did not agree. Now,they believed.

But perliaps the melancholia went deeper.Enough had been said about the "Ivory Tower," the

isolation of the university from the society, that suchmatters had become cliches" But the cliche of theirrelevant intellectual had become in the late sixties anicy perception by many students of the illusion of theuniversity:'the lie that the student -is free for four yearsto pursue truth, the pretense that the professor isanything other than a farmer - raising fodder forAmerican society to digest. Those of the students whoplayed the game exceptionally well would be given thechance to flee from the society, to join a faculty,provided they were willing to send others to work in thesociety, provided that somebody's research would provevery useful indeed.

And in the secret slaughterhouse that was theAmerican university, these privileged men, the faculty,were allowed by long and noble tradition, to clothethemselves in the humanistic dignity of the thinker, tocreate the myth- of an asymptotic approach to utopia,the myith of as close an approach to perfection-as amicrocosmic society can be that cannot sever all, itsconnections with "the outside: among them,. theconnection -o war reasearch, of weapons development,6f perversion of science brought brazenly right to thecampus, protected'in 'this better world by the cry of"freedo'm'of intellectug inquiry." Nor could the realityof the university as a breeding place where fugitives from-society prepared substitute victims be hidden by piouspronouncements on the holy mission of MMT theinstitute no ionger trained the leaders oft..c5clE,.cindustry, it trained the leaders of the technocra~cy.

But this game of humanistic dignity required massesdf'lleali Wc youth, anxious to learn from these wisemenin tSlis 120 acres of illusory peace. where had theaudience gone?

L-ATE EFRIDAY AFTERNOON, Eddle-man returned to the dean of engineering's conferenceroom to attempt to speak to Johnson. He waiked in tofind himsel facing Snyder and Simonides, both amazedand ewasperated at what Eddlemnn had done. No, theyanswered, he- could not see Johnson. Johnson wasfurious. Write him a note.

Eddleman returned to Baker House aild wrote a note.He was sorrw that he had divulged Johnson's secrets, buthe had not been told the injunction vote wasconfidential. He would not divulge Johnson's secrets anymore.

-No matter. No administrator would deal withEddleman again. It would be Steve Ehrmann who wouldfinally read the- GA resolution on the expulsion of MikeAlbert to the Faculty at a meeting some two weeks in thefuture.

And three months after the office takeover, WellsEddleman, whom no administrator would deal with,would be elected UAP.

V V HEN KESHNER RETURNED to thewar room after the student meeting, Johnson was notpresent. He' and other administrators had apparentlymoved into another office in the dean of engineering'ssuite.

While they had sat at the interminable- FAG/SAG;meeting of Thursday night and at the augmentedacademic council meeting that Friday morning, therehad come moments when it had suddenly seemed clearto Keshner and others on SAG why they had beenbrought in. Their refusing-to compromise their positionthat under no. circumstances should police be used wasactually useful -to- Johnson: it made it appear thatJohnson was following a moderate course. Noconservative could be infuriated that Johnson waszmoreliberal than anyone else in the meeting.

Then had come the undiscussed decision by threestudents to hold a student meeting. And then Eddlemanhad blabbed to the radicals.

Keshner, in the war room late Friday afternoon,suddenly knew that the administrators in another officedown the , 11 did not want him there any longer. Thepretense that students assisted in the decision makingprocess had been purchased too dearly. Perhaps all it hadbought Johnson (besides an appearance to conservativesthat he was middle-of-the road rather than liberal) wassome indication, through these students' reactions, howthe student body might react to some decision.

Now, Johnson had decided he could no longer afford

HE- EXENT OF the administration's

planning on Friday afternoon will perhaps never beknown..

It is certain, though, tHat on Friday thed drpinistra-tion obtained an injunction and conferred at length withthe Cambridge chief of police.

Vice President John Wynne:

You recognize that it was inescapzble that we would considerthe possibility that-the occupantsi' of '-"he office -would not leavevoluntarily. Mr. Johnson, Dr. Wiemer, Dr. Gray, others of us,-were quite unwialing to attempt to redgain the use of -thepresident's offce: 'through force, -but we recognized thepossibiliiy diat sooner or later we might decide that it wasnecessary. And' so there was a fair amount of contingencydiscussion-I'm sure that Walter Milne vwas a participant in it, aswas I, and as was Oliveri, or Sidney-with the Camnbridge chief ofpolice.

Unfortunately, Wynne, who generally handles tacticalmatters for MIT (even recently, he conducted a briefing ofstudent -"leaders" following the bomb explosion at theCIS) has no concrete memories of what happened at themeeting

He asserts, though, that the meeting was largely forthe -purpose of providing the police with enoughinformation so that they could plan a contingency bustintelligently. Though Wynne can recall nothing of theactual tactical discussion, he, thinks he remembers thatthe police made no big fuss over the positioning of the

Gray and Simonides had been the strongest advocatesoft the belief that the occupation would end by ets ownattrition. Accordingly, both tend to remember theadministration planning as being very much the"measured approach, with low level of action" that theJanuary 15 faculty meeting gives as Johnson's stance-

Simnonides cannot even remember for certain that

there was an injunction obtained. I ;cd . . .that -there was an injunction, and I don't know that for afact, but I do know that there was discussion with the1awyers about how it would be obtained, and what itwould be..." But Simonides was then assistant to the

president, and the president released a statement onSunday, January 18, 1970, stating that "Late on Fridaywe sought and obtained from the Middlesex SuperiorCourt a temporary restraining order enjoining theoccupation." "Late on Friday" may be tardy by severalhours. MIT may have had the injunction as early asFriday afternoon.

And Gray recalled:

Faced with .. waiting a decent time and hoping it will end,after which you proceed through whatever due processmechanism you want to use, to try and obtain recourse on thosewho -were -involved-faeed with that alternative, or all theuncertainty and, the possibility of violence that goes with abust-you take the first one.

We're not in a very good location to try and bust. The bigdoor in there was blockaded. We knew that; you could see theblockade from occasional glimpses you could get through hereJohnson's office). There are only two doors in: this door [theone that was broken downI and Killian's back door. There werewindows onto the Great Curt here: you had visions of peoplejumping out of windows, or trying to slide down ropes, orwhatever. There wasn't very good access for police to come in. Itcould have been a wild, wlkd scene.

... at some point, had they decided not to leave, there wouldhave been, with about six hours' notice, a bust.

it didn't get-to the -int where there was an agreed-upontimetable because before we got to the point where we weregoing to be specific about a timetable-my recollection on thatwas about midnight Friday that we would have begun then to bespecific about'a timetable-

But there had been a timetable. Dean Nyhart recently

confirmed, that, had the demonstrators still been in the

office early Saturday morning, they would have been

busted.

There is no way of knowing if MIT would have

followed its alleged intention of serving the injunction

and beginning the game of chicken, or if administrators

would 'have dedided to simply call in the police and

retain at least control of the bust's timing and, perhaps,

in light of the Friday meeting with police, a great dealmore control than that.

HE OCCUPATION ENDED at 10 pm

Friday, after 34 hours.

In front of Benson Snyder's office, Simonides had

been told at about 9 pm that it seemed the occupation

'would end-told, presumably, by student spies. He had

kept away from the area, though, on the belief that his

presence would somehow disturb any preparations to

depart.

At 10, there came. the sound of chanting echoing

,through the halls. Simonides rushed to Teakwood Row.

the occupation had ended.

A -line of perhaps 60-persons was Wieving the officeswhile several- photographers shot pictures, among themthe photographer MIT had hired. Near the line's end wasone-person who recognized Simonides. Now are yougoing to do us in? he asked.

Simonides- stared at him. Then he walked into the

offices and ordered the campus partol to close off allentrances. He recalls saying that nobody was to get in,absolutely nobody; if the radicals could secure theoffices, Simonides and the campus patrol certainlycould.

There was immense concern that the occupiers hadleft some explosive device behind in the offices. Thecampus patrol began an intensive search.

They found a wash bottle containing acetone.Suddenly Simonides realized that the search had

falled to produce an object he had expected to find in

Judge Parker seemed to have more luck handling-theraucus behavior of spectators than Lamson had had---during disciplinary committee hearings. He neverthreatened to clear the cqurt or cite persons forcontempt. When presented with a piece of birthday cake(it was one of the defendants' birthdays), he calmlyconsumed it, and the trial continued. Bobby Seale'sbirthday cake had not fared as well.

On Thrasday, March 26, Dean Nyhart announced hehad transmitted charges against eleven students to thediscipline committee earlier that day. That afternoonLamson notified those charged, who then had, undernew regulations adopted by the faculty at a meeting onMarch 18, ten days to reply to the charges. Thecommittee would then meet to decide if hearings shouldbe held.

On April 30, a defense motion that charges againstSteve Krasner be dropped was granted by JudgeCornelius J. Moynihan, on grounds that no burglary wasintended, and that there was no way to determine thatthe battering ram was a burglarous instrument.

The disciplinary committee hearings were to havebegun 'on May 6, 1970. At the beginning of May,President Richard Nixon deicded that American forceswould invade Cambodia.

The hearings were held in the middle of May.Expulsion of seven student resulted. ]

On Thursday, May 21, the two disruptors of classeslost their appeal of an April 13 conviction on twocounts. Judge George Johnson of Middlesex SuperiorCourt now sentenced them to two months in theBillerica Correctional Institution and fined them $50.When the mother of one became hysterical, the judge castigated her for "not bringing up her son properly"and gave her ten days in the Charles Street Jail.

A law passed a month before Steve Krasner had beenacquitted in 1970 required an automatic appeal by-theDistrict Attorney to the Massachusetts State SupremeCourt. The case was reinstated, 4-1.

On Tuesday, April 6, 1971, Krasner was found guiltyof manufacturing a burglarious instrument.

He appealed. In the first week of October, 1971, helost, and was taken to the BJillerica Correctional Institnuteto begin a one-year sentence.

13 non-students and former students, and two facultymembers. -

Two of the 31 were charged with disruption of classesas well. They-had entered the class of Piofessor EdwinBransome to attempt to speak to students; asked toleave, they had. -

Earlier, they had not fared as well at John Wilff's3.091 lecture. Wulff was concluding the term, and was inthe middle of -his inspiring "Putting It All Together"oration-he was a former Shakespearian actor-when thetwo disruptors had entered. Wulff, enraged, shouted forassistance from his audience in removing the two; hisspeech becoming somewhat garbled when, in his passion,he lost his dentures.

Several of the larger conservatives in the metallurgysubject had duly removed the disruptors.

The maximum fine for class disruption was $50 andthirty days; for trespass, each count (one for each day inthe occupied officed) could result in as much as $100and thirty days.

On January 21, Judge Harold E. Magnuson issued 29complaints for trespass; two cases had been thrown outon grounds of insufficient evidence. MIT administrators,who had expected the issuance of complaints to be aroutine matter, foundthemselves obliged to indicate notonly that in each case they had two positiveidentifications, but that each person could be shown tohave been warned of his culpability.

At 2 pm Monday, February 9, 1970, Steve Krasnerwas arrested by state police on Massachusetts Avenuenear the MIT armory. Taken to the Third District Courtin Cambridge, he Was booked and released on $1000personal recognizance on the charge of "manufacture ofa laxcentious or burglarious instrument." A hearing wasset for the following-day.

Oq Saturday, MIT administrators had spoken withDistrict Attorney John J. Droney, who was interested inthe battering ram. Perhaps it was Droney's office- tiathad unearthed the 1853 law under which Krasner couldbe charged.

Perhaps not. Some MIT administrators, notablyAssociate Provost Rosenblith, had been especiallyoutraged by the violence done to Johnson's door, andthe four unknown persons who had done it. MIT hadcooperated wholeheartedly, said an anonymous Institutesource at the time, with a Grand- Jury considering thechances of charging persons involved in the officetakeover with one crime or another.

On Tuesday, February. 10, Krasner pleaded notguilty: His attorney requested 20 days to prepare aspecial plea. The trial was set for 20 days thereafter.

the offices. He had seen the radicals leave; they had nottaken it with them.

The battering ram was gone.

The demonstrators moved to the student center, afterwhich, having passed a few'dormitories, and augmentedtheir numbers to about 100, they moved to thepresident's house at 111 Memorial Drive, where thepresident had not lived in some time.

There a small but unruly scene developed. Accordingto Johnson's statement of January 18, "one of thedemonstrators climbed up to a first floor window andkicked in the face one of the campus patrolmen whoattempted to remove him." Apparently the demonstra-tors, in attempting to post a list of demands on thehouse's door, pushed and shoved a while.

The group then moved on to adjoining Senior Housewhere, as Steve Carhart's perhaps unintentionallyslapstick account in The Tech phrased it,

The reaction was mixed, but predominendy hostile orindifferent. One student attempted to drop a water bomb onthem, but hit Wadleigh instead. A rock was thrown towardWadleigh, but it missed him and went through a window instead.

Simonides had driven to Johnson's house in time towitness the events there. He then returned to the

president's office.Those members of FAG/SAG who were readily

locatable had been allowed in to inspect the occupiedarea; faculty chairman Martin had been telephoned. Hewas now wandering about the offices; God, he said to a.student on SAG, isn't it awful,-referring to the damage,whose extent, according to Johnson's statement ofJanuary 18, was considerable. (Simonides has declinedto release the photographs MIT had taken after theoccupation's end.)

The SAG member could think of a lot of things in theworld that were just awful.

FAG/SAG members and Simonides were in theoffices when the occupiers returned from their eastcampus trip. They came chanting down Teakwood Row,and stopped to. pound on, the cori'dor walls of thepresidential suite. Katsiaficas shouted: We're gonna win,because we're the people; you're gonna lose, HoJo,because you're a pig. The group moved off. Simonidesrecalls that he was somewhat disconcerted at thereappearance of the occupiers; Martin that he never gavea thought to any possible attempt to retake the office,and calmly continued telling people how awful it all was-

The pounding on the walls was heard within;Katsiaficas' remark was not. Johnson (referred to inKatsiaficas' shout by the nickname HoJo ) was notpresent; he had trotted down Teakwood Row to take arapid look at the offices, and now he was gone.

Eleven of the 29 defendants went to court' onWednesday, February 11, to plead not guilty. The trialwas continued until March 10, despite pleas by MITattorney Robert Sullivan for a more immediate trial.

During the last week in February, charges werereadied to bring eleven students before the disciplinarycommittee. Dean Nyhart, who would under thedisciplinary system of the time prepare and transmitcharges to the committee, stated' that the charges wouldbe something like "deliberate interference with thefunction of tihe Institute." ("We intend to deal withthese incidents decisively so that we can go forward withthe serious business of this institution," said Johnson inthe January 18 statement.)

Professor Lamson stated that the charges would notbe heard until after the civil trial. He, was aware, headded, that the committee was not entirely trusted, andhe said that the committee was preparing a paper onjudicial reforms. Such a paper, including a flow chart ofnew, improved justice at MIT, would indeed appear

shortly thereafter.

The trial of 28 persons (one of the 29 complaints hadunaccountably, disappeared) began .and ended onTuesday, March 10. Judge Haven Parker made a writtenrecord that "the evidence was sufficient to warrant afinding of guilty." If 24 of the defendants stayed ongood behavior for an eight-month period, the chargeswere to be dismissed-all this over the objections ofSullivan. One of the remaining defendants had the flu,one was "under emotional strain," one's case would becontinued separately, and one defendant had d'p-peared.

"This decision was entirely the court's," said JudgeParker, "and the court assumes full responsibility for itsactions."

Said MIT's counsel SuBiVan:

T HROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND foMlow-ing the takeover, MIT administrators met to determinethe manner in which to proceed with prosecution in thecourts. A list was compiled of about 60 persons whocould be identified by at least one administrator.Thirty-one persons could be identified by two; MIT'slegal counsel had advised that only those 31 could beprosecuted with a reasonable chance of conviction, andthis advice was announced to FAG/SAG at a Sundaymeeting. The administration seemed interested only inobtaining some indication of what student and facultyreaction would be. The matter was presented toFAG/SAG as a course of action already decided upon.

Some time Saturday, Johnson was seen speaking withhis public relations consultant, Jim Nichols. Do youthink I should call another faculty meeting, Johnsonasked him-apparently a faculty meeting to discuss whatactibns MIT would take against those who had- takenover the offices. Why do you want the faculty yelling ateach other and you, Nichols replied. Why increase thepressure on you.

Ther. was no meeting.

ON MONDAY, January 19, MIT appliedin the Third District Court of Eastern Middlesex for theisance of complaints against 31 persons: 16 students,

T NO TIME during the office occupa-tion had the door from Chairman Killian's office, whichopened directly on the corridor, been guarded bycampus patrolmen. It was through this door that a party,having collected some thirty or forty dollars, had beensent to McDonald's for hamburgers.

And, some time the first night of the occupation, itwas through this door that the battering ram had beenremoved from the offices.

For some reason, its fate is a matter of rumor. Thosewho do not know for certain what became of it do notwish to know, just as those radicals who do not knowthe identity of the four persons who smashed in thedoor of the president's office do not wish to know;andif there are any who do know; they do not communicateso much as the fact that they doknow.

All rumors agree that the ram was placed in thebasement of Bexley Hall, where it rested for someunknown length of time.

The'rumors do not agre on the manner in which theram disappeared forever. One story contends that themetal was somehow sheared into unrecognizablefragments. It seems more likely, though, that thebattering ram was cast into the Charles River. There is aplace along the bank not far from the MIT crew pavillionwhere pipes enter the Charles bearing hot water that hascooled the enormnnous coils atthe Francis Bitter NationalMagnet Laboratory, and the temperature of the rivernear .the pipe is raised sufficiently that ice never forms.

But there are some who remember that in January of19O7, te, river was not frozen over at all. Winter wasmild that year. - -

for everybody to like is "Foot-stompin, Music'- which is p7:in,old, anybodycando-it rock androll. The compararative song(called, amazingly enough,"Roclk znd Roll") on the ledZeppilin album might easily bethe worst cut on that recordDraw -your musical comparisonsfrom that,

Ai couple of things about Zep-pilin's vocals. The music is oftengood enough so that you canignore Robert Plant's singing (ifyou don't like it), the same waymany eadry Ian Anderson vocalscan be forgotten (on any TuRlalbum before Aqualung).

Also there are two extrasfeatured. One of them is SandyDenny, sondinmg fine on onesong ("Battle Of EEvermore") andThe Lowest Note Robert PlantHas Ever Hit on another ("Goingto California""). Plant uses hisvoice like an instrument some-times and really is a strong plusfor the group, rather than havingsomebody be "appointed" singerbecause someone has to do thesinging-

So, in total, Led Zeppilin'smain drawback is that it tends tobe a little noisy. If you can getpast that, you might actuallyfind yourself-enjoying their new

On theother hand, E Plurnbus Furnk isprobably- .a typical record forGrand Funk-sincere feelingswrapped- up in loud, non-pFrofessiot sounding music,wrapped up in an arrogant-lookin$ cover.

Musically, it's another story,however. Most-loud groups onstage are not so excessive ondisk.

Grand Funk has to try fairlyhard to sound agile (their drum-mer really is offensive) but Zepoozes proficiency. They alwayshave. And now that they'redofing the rhythm stuff better ontheir new abum, they're sound-ing more and more like a veryloud Jethro Tull

They've got Tull's best trick,the repitition, down pat. Eversince way back; JT has used avery complex rhythmic founda-tion which repeats endlesslywhile the melody and the flutedance on top.

The - Mir Gymnastics teamrot,,ed up twoearly victorieslastweek- by -outmanning NewHampshire and outclassingLowell Tech. The two triumphswere by nearly identical mar-gins: MIT 115.6 -UNH 103.2and MIT 118.1.5 -LTI 105.3.As in their loss to Boston State,thie Techers were missing thesharpness ' which has typifiedpast MIT teams. Coach Bob Lillytheorized that it was due.to thehigher level of difficulty in thisyear's routines. Whatever- thereason, it is disappointing sinceit takes a- lot of the spark and-excitement out of the team andthe meets.

The factthat MIT got only two firsts, butwon the meet by a wide mar.ginshows the strength,of the teamin the second and third men.Dave Beck '72 on floor exerciseand Dave Millman "72 on ringsgot the two firsts with scores of7.75 and 6.4. Milman's scorebarely edged out sophomore Jar-vis Middleton's 6.35 as the pair

) placed 1-2. Other second placesin the meet were by Larry Bell.'74, 7.35 on parallel bars, NeilDavies '74, 6.7 on high- bar, and'Paul: Bayer: '73 (shown at left),6.2 on pommel homrse. None ofthese men were close to theUNH men who took first, butthey were backed up strongly byJohn Austin '74 on high bar andDennis Dubro '73 on pommelhorse with third places andAndy Rubel '74 with an excellent6.85 on parallel bars. DannyBocek '72 also did well withthird places on both floor exer-cise and vaulting.

Looking .at event margins,floor exercise continued winningby beating UNH by 4.15, andpommel horse rebounded fromits dismal showing at the lastmeet to -win by'3.0. The-bigsurprise was the high bar with. amargin: of victory of an incred-ible 5.25.
