A US congressional sub-com-mittee has criticized MIT for per-forming experiments that in-volved the injection of elderlysubjects with radioactive materi-als in the early 1960s.

The report, released on Oct. 24by Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA), says MIT researchers in-jected or fed 20 elderly subjectswith radioactive radium or thor-ium from 1961 to 1965.

IT facultyLivermore, the largest nuclearweapons research lab in thecountry. He helped develop theX-ray laser while he was at Liver-more. "I'm probably the only X-ray laser expert at MIT," he said.

Hagelstein said his primary in-terest is in lasers using "soft" X-rays (about 10- meters in wave-length) instead of the visible lightcommonly used now. Because ofthe X-ray's short wavelength, anX-ray laser would be more pre-cise than a visible-light laser, al-though its high energy makes itmore difficult to build. Hagel-stein said he intends to focus hisresearch on "numerical simula-tions."

Current X-ray lasers have to be"pumped" by large glass or car-bon dioxide lasers. Engineers atLivermore are designing an X-raylaser pumped by a nuclear explo-sion; a satellite carrying such adevice would be a major compo-nent of the Strategic Defense Ini-tiative. Hagelstein hopes to devel-op systems that are smaller,cheaper and more accessible. Heexpects the X-ray laser would beused as a research tool, but "theapplications are still under study."

Richard B. Adler '43, associatehead of the department of electri-cal engineering and computer sci-ence, said Hagelstein will spendabout half of his time in researchand the other half teaching. Ha-gelstein has applied to teach coreundergraduate EE classes andwill begin his first teaching ap-pointment next spring.

Adler described Hagelstein as"an extremely smart fellow. I'think students are going to bevery happy to work with him."Hagelstein's master's and Ph Dtheses were "remarkable," saidAdler.

Massachusetts announces tax limitGovernor Michael Dukakis signed into law a bill to cut

$250 million in taxes by repealing the state' income taxsurcharge. The plan has been seen as an alternative to thelower tax limit proposed on the Nov. 4 ballot. The bill willprovide a "reasonable yet responsible limit on state spend-ing," Dukakis commented. The bill allows hundreds ofmillions of dollars to-be spent above the limit, complainedmembers of the Citizens for Limited Taxation. The bill,which was passed by the House and Senate on Thursday,repeals the state's 7.5 percent surcharge on income taxes,retroactive to Jan. 1, and imposes a limit on state tax col-lecting. (AP)

US and Britain attack Syriafor support of terrorism

Great Britain broke relations with the Syrian govern-ment Friday, charging that the Syrians had sponsored aplot to smuggle a bomb onto an Israeli plane at London'sHeathrow Airpor.t: The United States and Canada bothsubsequently withdrew their ambassadors to Syria. ABritish court sentenced a Jordanian to 45 years in prisonon Friday for carrying out the plot in April.

Aides to Britain's Foreign Minister said yesterday thatSir Geoffrey Howe will show evidence to foreign ministersof the 12-nation European Common Market that impli-cates Syria. Britain asked Common Market countries yes-terday to cut relations with Syria as a show of support.

The diplomatic actions drew praise from members ofCongress. Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (R-KS)suggested that President Ronald Reagan take further dip-lomatic, political, and economic steps to force Syria fromits terrorist-support position. Nineteen senators have writ-ten to Reagan urging him to impose the same sanctionsagainst Syria as those currently in effect against Libya.

The Soviet Union condemned Britain's actions, sayingthat its reasons were "obviously invented." Syria is theSoviet Union's strongest ally in the Middle East. (AP)

Syria has closed its air space, ports, and territorial wa-ters to Great Britain in response to Britain's severing ofdiplomatic relations between the two nations. Agovernment-sponsored newspaper in Syria has called foran Arab boycott of what they call the "Zionist Britishgovernment." So far, reaction to Syria's proposed boycotthas been cool; only Libya has announced official support.

Syria has expressed confidence that the United Stateswill not cut all diplomatic relations. Syria's foreign minis-ter said yesterday that he is sure the United States will"look into the facts" arid not simply accept the Britishaccusations. He described the US' recall of its ambassadoras a "normal step" under the circumstances. US officialsare still weighing the options. (AP)

Sox show true csolors rin gamne sevenThe New York Mets came from behind last night to de-

stroy the Boston Red Sox in the final game of the WorldSeries, 8-5.

History seemed to'be on the Mets' side in the series,even though New York was down two games to none atone point. The Sox, who had not won a championship in68 years, lost two out of three at home and handed NewYork a victory in game six after leading by two runs withtwo out in the 10th inning.

Red Sox manager John McNamara decided to replaceDennis "Oil Can" Boyd with left-hander Bruce Hurstafter rain forced a postponement of the decisive game.The Mets stayed with Ron Darling as their starting pitch-

.er.The Red Sox rocked 'Darling early, taking a 3-0 lead.

But the Mets came back to score three runs in the sixth,three in the seventh, and two in the eighth. Boston puttwo runs across in the eighth, but Jesse Orosco blankedBoston's hitters in the ninth to secure the victory. RogerMcDowell got the win and former Met Calvin Schiraldi,loser of game six, took the loss in the clincher.

unpopular books in classroomA federal judge in Greeneville, TN, ruled that students

could remove themselves from classes that used the Holt,Rinehart, and Winston reading series because the bookscontained excerpts from such works as The Wizard of Ozand The Diary of Anne Frank. A group of Christian fun-damentalist parents found the books objectionable andwent to court, claiming that the Greeneville school boardshould not have required their children to read the books.The judge agreed, saying the school board violated theparents' freedom of religion. Attorneys on both sides ofthe case said they are prepared to go all the way to theSupreme Court. (AP)

that the children be excused frorrclasses where the offensive text!,were used.

This ruling is an affront to th(First Amendment. The amendment simply prohibits the publicschools from advocating any religion. Thus, school prayer and Bi-ble reading are correctly kepoutside the classroom. But theamendment should not proventthe presentation of ideas contraryto certain religious precepts.

It seems that, to an extentJudge Hull realized this. He did

not remove the offending textsfrom the classroom; rather, hepermitted students to read alter-native texts.

But this limited judgement setsa dangerous precedent. Its scopecould be broadened to censoreverthing objectionable to somereligious sect and reduce educa-tion to the least-common de-nominator. But if Hull's judge-ment is allowed to stand, it alonewill severely damage the publiceducation system of the United

It would have been humorous'had it not been so true.

Last Friday, a federal courtruled that the children of a smallgroup of fundamentalist Chris-tian parents should be shelteredfrom books their parents deem"godless." The particular booksin question are part of the Holt,Rinehart, and Winston basicreading series used in more than15,000 school districts across thecountry.

The parents objected to ex-cerpts from The Wizard of Ozbecause they portrayed a witch asgood. Similarly, Cinderella andMacbeth were branded unsuitablebecause they mentioned witch-craft and magic. The Diary ofAnne Frank was deemed objec-tionable because it suggested thatall religions are equal.

In his ruling, Judge ThomasHull said that by forcing the chil-dren to read the offending texts,the school board was infringingupon the pupils' right of free ex-ercise of religion. Hull suggested

States.Hull would have the public

schools become a cafeteria wherestudents have the opportunity topick and choose what they wantto learn. This runs counter to theconcept of public education,whose strength lies in presentinga variety of viewpoints and per-spectives. The public educationalsystem should provide a forumfor ideas and knowledge, not asanctuary for xenophobes.'

proaches the six-month point,which would take it into the sec-ond trimester. Yet the US Su-preme Court couldn't bring itselfto call these unborn babiespersons.

One of the more serious conse-quences of abortion is that it putsa price tag on human life. Oncethat has been done, economicstakes over, and we face the possi-bility of all human life having aprice. This can already be seen,

To the Editor:Let all who have grown tired

of saving whales or rescuing babyseals take courage,. for JulianWest ["Anti-abortion argumentsfail," Oct. 17] has championed anew cause, namely changing theminds of those people who areopposed to abortion.

West indicates that these indi-viduals may be recognized bytheir "leaps of logic," "rationalflaws," and "misconstruing ...epithet[s]." If you are lucky youmight even spot one making an"emotional commitment."

It is somewhat puzzling thatthese same attributes are to beseen in West's own column. Hestates, for example, that "there isa great difference . . . between afetus and a baby ready forbirth." This is nonsense. A babyready 'for birth is also, by defini-tion, a fetus.

Moreover, while there areclearly some differences betweena three-month fetus and a nine-month fetus, there is little differ-ence between an eight-month fe-tus and a new-born baby,especially in terms of the "sensu-al maturity" and "viability" crite-ria of West.

However, since the Roe v.Wade decision of the US Su-preme Court in 1973 the new-born is protected by the full forceof the constitution, but the eight-month fetus is subject to a third-trimester abortion law wherebyits life may be taken if, in theopinion of one physician, theabortion is necessary to preservethe health of the mother. By theSupreme Court's own definition,

health includes such things as."distress," the "stigma of'unwed

motherhood," and a large num-ber of other social reasons. Thislaw is about as liberal as GreatBritain's 1967 Abortion Act is forfirst-trimester abortions.

The idea of using viability ofthe fetus as a criterion for allow-ing abortions is as old as theabortion issue itself. Fetuses havebeen born after less than fivemonths' gestation while the gen-eral limit of viability rapidly ap-

living environment and the waythat you got fed.

We so easily choose to ignorethese fundamental facts and in-vent the "viability" issue to helpus ignore the true abortion issue.The question that we should beaddressing concerning the abor-tion issue is the following: does aperson have the right to takesomeone else's life, if that some-one else will inconvenience theperson to any extent, exceptdeath?

Instead of putting a greatamount of thought, energy, anddebate into side issues like abor-tion funding, once we answer theunderlying question, the rest ofthe issues will fall into' place.Stop skirting the real issue andstart answering the real questionraised by abortion on demand.

I hope that this makes all ofyou realize that it was not somerandom collection of cells in yourmother's womb, but it was you,as you are-now.

(Continued from page 4)for study in the public schools.Only well-trained educators canevaluate the merit of textbooks.The fact that the reading series inquestion is so widely used and,isapproved by the State of Tennes-see attests to its quality. To allowchildren to excuse themselvesfrom readings would be doingpositive harm to their education.

If basic ideas are to be denied,there will be no way students canunderstand larger concepts. If achild is not to be taught about ti-dal waves, he will never be ableto learn about any physcial phe-nomena. If the dinosaurs or evo-lution are to be denied, majorportions of geology, chemistry,and biology will have to be omit-ted from the classroom. If themetric system is barred (becauseit promotes one world govern-ment) how is any science to belearned at all?

Similar arguments can be madein the social sciences. How can astudent understand world historywithout the Renaissance (whichthe fundamentalists claim glori-fied man above God)? Omitting

anything mentioning the CatholicChurch (which plaintiff VickiFrost said "could producechanges in my child's way -ofthinking") would prevent anysort of understanding of Europe-an history, Latin America, andthe Reformation, among othervast categories of humanthought. Indeed, Judge Hull'sruling and real public educationcannot coexist.

As Timothy Dyk, the lawyerfor the school board, exclaimed,"There is no way this woman[Frost] could attend public schooland not be offended." This is thetrue point of the trial. The plain-tiffs did not want the option ofalternative reading; they wantedtheir ideology taught exclusivelyin schools.

This danger is a national one.Indeed, in Alabama there is acase attempting to have "secularhumanism" declared a religionand barred from the schools.Thus, all the aforementionedsubjects would be banned fromthe classroom. Should that hap-pen,,public education wouldcease to exist.

Abortion puts a pricetag on a hu

(Continued from page 4)to some extent, in the variouscases of infanticide, "mercy kil-lings" of handicapped infants,and (at the other end of the scale)euthanasia, all of which are be-coming more commonplace andacceptable.

This utilitarian ethic is verypervasive. Consider the opinionsof Nobel prize-winners FrancisH. C. Crick and James D. Wat-son. Crick said, "No newborn in-fant should be declared humanuntil it has passed certain tests,regarding its genetic endowment,and if it fails these tests it forfeitsthe right to live."

Watson said, "If a child werenot declared alive until. three daysafter birth, then all parents couldbe allowed the choice that only afew are given under the presentsystem. The doctor could allowthe child to die if the parents sochose and save a lot of miseryand suffering."

We may think these chillingproposals are far from reality to-day, but wouldn't someone from

Institute clocksshould displaycorrect timeTo the Editor:

May I propose a research pro-ject for the Undergraduate Re-search Opportunities Program?

One of the most difficult andbaffling problems to solve at MITis the synchronization of all theclocks. I will give $5 to the firstperson to show me two clocks atthe Institute that have the sametime.

It would seem that this re-search would come under the de-partment of electrical engineeringand computer science. However,because of that part of the prob-lem which has defied solution formany years involving two timechanges each year, it mightrequire an interdisciplinary ap-proach.

Georgia M. NagleSecretary, Laboratory for

Manufacturing and Productivity

iman lifethe Victorian era have found ourpresent abortion laws and -statis-tics just as chilling and distant?

Incidentally, I find it amusingthat West equates the responsibledenial of sex with "savagery."This was, after all, the predomi-nant sexual ethic of the 19th cen-tury. I have little doubt thatsomeone from that age couldonly put our modern sexual eth-ics and morality [or lack thereof]on a par with those of ancientRome.

In conclusion, maybe those ofus who are pro-life don't needour minds changed after all.

Abortion question is misrepresentedTo the Editor:

The abortion debate in thesepages in the past few weeks hasstrayed from the topic which trig-gered it, namely, ReferendumQuestion #1 on the Nov. 4 Massa-chusetts ballot. With voting daydrawing nearer, I would like tocorrect some misconceptions thathave been expressed.

Firstly, no matter what the out-come of the referendum,' abor-tion will still be- legal in Massa-chusetts and everywhere in theUnited States. Secondly, no state

ever restrict abortion more thanthe US Constitution allows.

If there is confusion regardingthe referendum, those who havebeen exaggerating its conse-quences are partly to blame. Thecurrent slogan, "Keep abortionsafe and legal - Vote NO onquestion #1," blatantly misrepre-sents the facts by linking theamendment with the legality ofabortion, which is simply not anissue.

The most conspicuous possibleoutcome of this amendmentwould be less state funding ofabortions. Even this would be upto the legislature, who can beelected or replaced as voters seefit. Still, nothing would preventprivate organizations from re-placing lost state funds, givingabortion advocates the' chance toput their own money, and notsomeone else's, behind their con-victions.

of the narrator is not Slater's, and soundsvery much like the one in "The WonderfulWorld of Disney" or "Mutual of Omaha'sWild Kingdom."

The greater mysteries of the film are asabstruse as they 'were in the book, but thesimpler questions are obvious to anyonepaying a shred of attention. When Wil-liam, searching for the hidden library, asks"Where are the books?" he stops andturns as the camera frames the librarytower in thfe background.

As for the supporting characters, direc-tor Jean-Jacqlues Annaud has done anamazing job of matching the physicalcharacteristics'set out in the books. Whichmeans that they look- like imbeciles. Thesemonks were the nerds of their day, butsuch -a motley crew never assembled atMIT.

Two actors who don't fit into that cate-gory are F. Murray Abraham, who does agood job as the evil Inquisitor BernardoGui, and Valentina Vargas, who plays TheGirl. Aside from a few of the supportingmonks, she is the only womran in the film.She is, presumably, a good actor, but wasgiven little chance to prove it with linesconsisting mostly of grunts and moans.The sex scene between Slater and Vargas,gratuitous only in its extent, is absurd andindulgent, and completely out of place.

Another box office draw might be theexcessive violence, which includes literallyWickets of blood, torture devices, and'plenty of dead bodies. This gives themakeup and special effects people plenty

MBERTO ECO'S splendid medi-eval mystery is faithful in everydetail to the original, but not inthe deeper matter of spirit.

How could it be? The Name of the Rosewas about the importance and beauty ofbooks, and was itself a book. This tributeto knowledge cannot survive the transla-tion to film.

The movie version is nothing more thana detective story set in a monastery in1327. The sleuth is a Franciscan, Williamof Baskerville, played by Sean Connery. Incase moviegoers missed the obvious allu-sion to another well-known English detec-tive, he adopts a positively didactic man-ner and drops such lines as "My dearAdso, it's- elementary.

Unlike the adult doctor Watson, Wil-liam's Adso is a young novice who wor-ships hsis master. The freshfaced newcomerChristian Slater plays him, and seems en-tirely incapable both of speaking and ofkeeping his mouth closed. His bright, in-quiring eyes and open maw reminded meof Roddy McDowell's -mask in 'Planet ofthe Apes.'

As is only proper for a Watson, Adsonarrates the film as an old man. The voice

of chance to show off, The special effectscrew handled the gore well, atoning forthe unlikely scene of pages fluttering intactabove the burning library.

The library and sets are worth seeing.The interiors were filmed at a monastery insouthern Germany, but the exterior wasbuilt in one giant piece on a hill nearRome. It was the largest exterior set to bebuilt in Europe since "Cleopatra." No ex-

pense was spared on the props, either, par-ticularly the glorious illuminated pages.

But what was bought for all that moneyis a rather questionable film. I am certainthat the only thing I enjoyed about it wasbeing reminded of. the book.

Recommendation: read the book first. Ifthe Elm has closed by the time you finish,so much the better.

The best performance of the eveningwas the Sonata in A Major, Op. 69. Theduo made the most of the music's strongqualities, particularly bringing out thecontrasts of calmness and power. Together,they achieved an effective balance of thelyrical and the tumultuous. They were ableto carry the dynamic power of the work byemphasizing its dramatic, brilliant cli-maxes. The expressive voice of the. cellowas faultless, while the piano's lacy ac-companiment was superb.

Throughout the performance, Bilsonand Bylsma compensated for each other'sstrengths and weaknesses quite well. De-spite a few minor shortcomings, the recitalwas an impressive display.

point at which Classicism was rejected anda more emotional, free style of musicemerged. Bilson and Bylsma's interpreta-tion of this transitional work was verygood, keeping elements of both styles inplace. NMost of the subtleties of the piecewere controlled well, though there were afew noticeable times when the two musi-cians bad difficulty staying together.

The musicians' performance of the Sev-en Variations on the Theme "Bei Man-naern, Welche Liebe Fktlen" from MozartsMagic Flute was masterful, establishingclearly qualities of musical diversity andunity. Bilson impressively took commandof the delicate keyboard intricacies, andBylsma's playing was equally exciting.

minor, Op. 5, No. 2, was a charming piece

of tightly controlled music. Bylsma's com-mand of his instrument was excellent, cre-ating a beautiful tone and a wide range ofcolor. Bilson, performing on a fortepiano,the keyboard instrument of Beethoven'stime, was a bit too timid. His touch wasunever at times and he stumbled througha few passages. Nevertheless, the variousmoods of the sonata, from its slow, sol-emn introduction to its delightful conclud-ing rondo, were captured quite well.

Next, the pair performed the Sonata inC Major, Op. 102, No. 1. The rich sensi-tive quality of the music clearly indicatedBeethoven's move toward the Romanticstyle. The sonata represented a pivotal

Audience becomes a participant in Wright's neurosisSTEVEN WRIGHT ANDJAMES LEE STANLEYPresented by the MIT StudentCenter Committee.

By BEN Z. STANGER

USPECT WAS LAST SEEN wearingwhite shirt, faded jeans and con-struction boots. The suspect wasSteven Wright, and the crime -

on the night of Oct. 24 - was instigatinglaughter without even trying.

Wright, whose receded, curly, long hairhas most likely not changed since infancy,is probably the founder of "InnocuousHumor." He knows as he walks on-stagethat his audience, familiar with his- brandof humor, is primed to hear the first of astring of self aimed put-downs. "Thismorning I woke up out of a dream andwent right into a daydream .... I've beenin it ever since."

The audience is never sure what wentwrong with Wright. He seems to sufferfrom a mixture of paranoid schizophrenia,claustrophobia, and peyote addiction, thesymptoms of which he emulates through-out his performance. "I'm having flash-backs of premonitions," he says, twistinghis head around in space. It is not hard tobelieve that when he went to court for aparking ticket, he "pleaded insanity."

Insanity is the cornerstone of StevenWright's success. He reveals things abouthimself - bizarre things - which makethe audience a participant in his neurosis.On the stage stands a man who has stolenthe erasers from all. the miniature golfpencils in the world, who shot his woodenhorse because it had a crack in its leg, andwho believes that we are on earth becauseit was too crowded "where we were sup-posed to go."

Wright simulates extreme disorientationto mask his subtle and clever paradoxical

questions, such as "What's another wordfor thesaurus?" or "If you shoot a mimeshould you use a silencer?" or "Do youthink when they asked George Washingtonfor an ID, he just took out a quarter?"These one-liners are timed perfectly, pre-venting his audience from thinking toomuch about them, while Wright himselfseems profoundly disturbed at not havingthe answers.

Wright's monotonic delivery, which isimpossible to describe and must be exper-ienced for full effect, is the most distinc-tive part of his routine. Unfortunately,much of the material Wright used in hisperformance was old stuff, as owners ofhis "I Have a Pony" album probably no-ticed. One of his most popular acts is asong in which he likens his girlfriend Ra-chel to a rock concert: she makes a lot ofnoise, she throws frisbees around theroom, and when she wants more she lightsa match. So much for discreet sex.

Picture yourself in a restaurant advertis-ing that it serves "Breakfast Anytime." Aman walks in and with a monotone asks:"Could I have some French Toast duringthe Renaissance?" You know you are inthe Wright place.

"Now they're payingme to come back."

James Lee Stanley's combination of seri-ous singing and hilarious jokes put himhalf-way between a comedian and a singer.

His first song, "Three Monkeys," had achilling effect:

Silence is the art ofKeeping threeMonkeys in your heart ...See no evil, hear no evil,Speak no evil.Stanley sang a "Latin" song which he

wrote using lyrics from a medical encyclo-pedia (because he knew no Spanish). Themedley began, "Oh digitalis, Oh 'cortizone,.. . BABALOOO" and "This is what itsounds like, when tortillas fry." It keptmembers of the audience perpetuallycatching their breaths.

He finished with another poignant song,"Racing the Moon," about the hazards ofgoing too fast - in the back seat of a car.

MSIG suggestspolicy changes

(Continued from page 1)all MIT students must face, areintensified for-minority students,according to the report.

Minority students encounterincreased "feelings. of isolation,insecurity about their admissionbecause of the perception thatothers at the Institute believelower standards are used whenadmitting minority students, andanxiety about their families' abil-ity to provide the financial assis-tance expected by the Institute,"the report said.

They also feel "perceived con-tempt from non-minority stu-dents, faculty, administrators,and staff," the MSIG report stat-ed. Many minority students be-lieve MIT is a "generally non-supportive environment in whichminorities must constantly provethey are equal, both intellectuallyand socially," the report added.

Report makes broadrecommendations

"We must spare no effort toimprove the experience here forminority stfidents," Gray said."The issue of racism on this cam-pus must continue to be ad-dressed openly and directly by allmembers of the faculty and byevery member of the MIT com-munity as we strive to identifyand eliminate inadvertent or de-liberate behavior that is inappro-priate for our community and forthis university."

The MSIG made numerousrecommendations aimed at im-proving the racial situation atMIT, such as:

· Creating a visiting commit-tee devoted to minority issues.

· Formulating new policies ondisciplinary responses to racistincidents.

· Urging the Faculty PolicyCommittee to develop a state-ment of professional reponsibili-ties for faculty with respect toracist behavior.

· Aslking the Equal Opportu-nity Committee to establish Ex-traordinary Achievement Awardsto honor MIT faculty or staffwho promote equal opportunity.

· Enlisting black faculty inthe teaching of undergraduatecore courses.

Covert described in fine detailthe possible scenarios and techni-cal flaws that could have causedthe failure. "In my experience inaccident investigations . . . usual-ly there's not a single factor thatcauses an accident . . . [but] acombination of two or three orfour. events," which frequentlyhave to occur in a precise orderfor an accident to take place,said Covert.

Covert outlined several suchfactors contributing to the Chal-lenger's failure:

* Cold temperature's effect onthe o-rings.

* An imbalance of the rocketcases - one was used in fourprevious flights, the other in five.

* Pin holes in the putty whichinitially allowed hot gases to es-cape. These leaks may have beenexacerbated by gusty winds, Co-vert noted.

vor of divestment, said, "I be-lieve it was right to arrest [thestudents] .... I don't think therewas any choice." Blocking the en-trance effectively disabled thecampus, she explained.

One of the protestors, JillJohnson W '87, was arrestedafter she refused to move fromthe College Club entrance to

"fault tree," Covert said. "Wehad an explosion . . . and thatled to a structural break up ofthe external tank and that led to. . various parts which couldhave caused the failure: the orbit-er, the main engine, the solidrocket, the external tank, and thesolid rocket booster," he said.

The panel was able to "veryquickly eliminate the main engineas part of the source of involve-ment," Covert said. The panel fi-nally decided the problem had tobe in the solid rocket booster.

"I have to say in all honestythat this failure has never beenduplicated under control condi-tions," Covert said. "In order tomade sure you're fixing the rightthings," scientists should be ableto duplicate the accident undercontrol conditions, he continued.

Covert underscored the impor7tance of recognizing the accom-plishments of the Shuttle's 17flights. The Shuttle's budget wasapproximately half that of theApollo program which put a manon the moon, and the Shuttle'sbudgetary and technological pres-sures were higher, he said.

Wellesley. The protestors knewthey would be arrested, Johnsonsaid, but agreed ahead of time togive the name of Winnie Mandelawhen asked.

"We didn't know what washappening up until the last minu-te," Johnson said, referring tothe possibility that studentswould be sent to the correctionalinstitution. Police officers toldher the only reason the studentsdidn't go there was a lack ofavailable space. "I was reallyscared."

These were the first wide-spread arrests on campus in atleast 11 years, Keohane said.

Boycott and rally have"mixed" effect

The impact of Friday's boycottwas "mixed," Keohane said aftertalking to representatives fromWellesley's largest departments,Art and English. Some professorsheld a vote to decide whetherclass would meet, while otherscancelled class entirely, Keohanesaid. Her speech at the rally didnot encourage students to returnto class.

But student protestors found itdifficult to explain why the rallyattendence was only a fifth of theestimated number of studentsboycotting classes.

At the end of the rally, the pro-testors formed a human chainaround the Wellesley academicquadrangle and chanted "Weshall overcome" to the ringing ofthe Green Hall bell tower.

The Board of Trustees willtake up the divestment issueagain next February.

204 ground yards on 24 carries,an MIT record. His performancebrought his season total to 728yards, breaking his own MITsingle-season rushing mark setlast year.

Five minutes after Adams'touchdown scamper, Assumptiongave the ball back to MIT. Quar-terback Peter J. Gasparini '88handed off to Hugh Ekberg '88,who saw daylight down the rightside, and raced 70 yards forMIT's second touchdown.

Herman Reyes '87, MIT's first-year placekicker, converted afterboth touchdowns, improving hisseason record to 14 of 17.

The game settled down afterMIT's two quick scores. Assump-tion was unable to mount a sus-tained drive, as the MIT defense

dominated the line of scrimmage,shutting down both the rush andpass. Assumption's offensemoved the ball 89 net yards onthe afternoon; Beaver penaltiesmoved it 112. The squad of Rich-ard Rice '87, Chris Moreno '88,Mark Mitchke '90, and Paul An-derson '90 recorded a total of sixsacks, and broke up countlessother plays.

But the Beaver offense wasparalyzed by its own errors -fumbles, interceptions, and pen-alties broke up several promisingdrives.

Assumption had several scor-ing opportunities in the secondquarter, only to be thwarted bythe stingy MIT defense. Mid-waythrough the second quarter, As-sumption marched into MIT ter-ritory. On fourth down at theMIT 9-yard line, Assumptionfaked a field goal attempt.Mitchke, who put in a fine per-formance on the day (two sacks,five tackles) stopped the ball car-rier short of the first down.

With 1:12 left to play in thefirst-half, an MIT punt gave As-sumption a chance to close the14-point gap before the half. Butpressure from the defensive lineforced the Assumption quarter-back to hurry a pass,-interceptedby Shane Arnold '88.

The offense was not entirely toblame for the large number ofMIT penalties; the defense hadits share as well. An apparent in-terception by Rick Buellesbach'90 was called back in the thirdquarter, when the left, side of thedefensive line jumped offside.

MIT squandered a number ofchances to add to its lead in thefourth quarter. With first-and-

By Harold A. SternA record-breaking perfor-

mance from Christopher J. Ad-ams '87 led the MIT footballclub to a convincing 14-0 home-coming victory over AssumptionCollege.

As usual, it was the Beaverrushing attack, averaging 275yards per game this season, thatpaced MIT's offense. The Grey-hounds' inability to stop the MITrush became apparent early inthe first half

Midway through the first quar-ter, a Mark Naugle '90 intercep-tion set up MIT's first score. Ad-ams took a handoff to the leftside, and drove all the way intothe end zone for a 24-yard touch-down.

An interception by Dana Pir-kels '88 gave the Beavers atnotherchance to score in the final min-ute of the game. With a fourth-and-five on the Assumption 6,Gasparini completed a pass overthe middle to Ekberg, but thereferee flagged Adams for an il-legal motion penalty.

A Great Lunch at the Woven Hose CafeEvery Tuesday Lucy cooks her own southern fried chicken at the Woven Hose. We serve it with

mashed potatoes & gravy, roll & green salad for $6. It's a great valpe because it's the best fried

chicken in Cambridge. Because it's cooked by a person not by a process. Just like our other hot daily

specials: Chili w/Cornbread, or Boeuf Bourguinon w/Polenta, or Jambalaya Paul Prudhomme w/

Cajun Rice, or Pizza Rustica and Tortellini alla Crema, among other dishes we serve. We use the

best recipes and ingredients we can find and we make everything fresh every day. We have two super

soups daily, make sandwiches on our own fresh homemade bread, present a varied array of great

salads and desserts, make wonderful omelets and' hamburgers to order, and offer a sophisticated

selection of wine and beer.The Woven Hose Cafe - located just past the new Draper Lab in the One Kendall Square plaza

where Hampshire Street runs into Broadway - is a great place for lunch. Because the food is

delicious. Because it is made, every day, by people who care about cooking for people who care

about eating.
