Although Moore asserted thata different motion could havemaide a
few votes' difference, hestated that he "would guess thatae
wouldn't do anything, thathe'd try to live with the decision
as it now stands," but that"nothing's settled yet.' He
added,though, that if SACC felt that itcou.ld not function under
the cur-rent decision, "we'll think ofsomiething else."
LSC Publicity DirectorDorihbrook, when asked aboutpossible
effects the-ruling wouldhave, said that SACC woulddefinitely be
allowed to show"Waterfront." "To Kill aMockingbird," and
"CitizenKane," while "Slaughterhouse-5"and "Easv Rider" would

That can be a very serious problem today, especially withtuition
costs climbing relentlessly. Yes, you can borrow. but bythe time
you enter practice those debts can be substantial.
There is an altemrnative,-an Armed Forces Health Profes-sions
(AFHP) scholarship. Whether you're studying to be aphysician or a
dentist, whether your goal is to become anosteopath or an
optometrist, it can pay your entire tuition andfees all through
medical school. It will also provide you with asubstantial monthly
allowance. In other words. if you qualify,one of those scholarships
can give you financial independencenaow, when you need it most.
When you're ready to go into practice, an AFHP scholar-ship will
also have paved the way for you to start your careerunder highly
favorable circurnstances. You'll be a commissionedofficer in the
military branch of your selection. Your practicewill be waiting for
you. You'll step into it and know that thechallenges you'll meet
will be solely medical ones and profes-sionally stimulating.
There will also be opportunity for further study. TheArmed
Forces have created extensive and outstanding clinical,teaching and
research programs. Once you decide on a spe-cialty, you may find
yourself taking the graduate medical studiesof your choice at one
of their facilities.
The details are many. But if you'll send in the coupon,
we'll mail you literature which will give you a good ovii ofthe
scope of our operations. Why not write? We think you'llbe

"We're not going to force thisthing on anybody,"' stated
formerCihairmanan of the Committee onthe Visual Arts Wayne
Andersento Li group of Tang and Westgateresidents Wednesday night
duringanleeting to discuss the TonySmlith sculpture which is to be
in-stalled near Tang and Westgate inNo venm ber.
T hc meeting was called to givercsi'dciits an idea of what
theSculrture will look like and to gettheir opinions about the
proposedLemporTary placement of the
scuLIlture, which will be betweenthe valkways leading to
the!raldualte residence halls.
-1Fhe pernmanent site for theSCUlpture will be between NewI
louse and a planned new dor-mitory, unless students object tomoving
it from the temporarySite.
views might not reflect the feei-ings of the current student
pop-ulation. He also noted that mostof the comments received by
theCommittee were negative andthat positive suggestions andcomments
were most welcome.
The sculpture was a gift fromthe artist and other donors. MITis
paving only the cost of fabrica-tion, shipping and
installation.Resembling an archway, the deepred steel structure
stands l8 feethigh. It was completed recentlyand will be delivered
in aboutthree weeks for dedication inNovember.
At the end of the meeting, astraw vote was taken to determinethe
opinions of those presenttoward the sculpture. Of the 22people who
expressed an opinion,eleven approved of the sculpture,four were
opposed, and seven un-decided.
The temporary site is neededbecause the new dormitory will
bebuilt on the parking I.ot next toNew House, and until the
asphaltis removed there is no place to putthe sculpture.
Some residents objected thatthey had no say at all as to the
in-stallation of a sculpture.
,Andersen explained that fundsare set aside for the placement
ofart works at or near all new MITbuildings. The funds from
NewHouse had to be allocated by thetime the dormitory had
beenbuilt.
Since the acquisition of a majorpiece of sculpture takes
time,planning for it began two yearsago. He pointed out that it
wasdifficult to utilize student com-ments at the planning
stagebecause by the time a work of artis installed, those students
mightnot be at MIT anymore and their

Itperforms statistical calculations. Itevaluates complex functions.
It evalu-ates polynomials with complex coeffi-cients. it handles
ntany common civilergineering problems. And much more.This
remarkable machine can free yourtime for more productive work.
Participants at the seminar will be able to ask theexperts and
technicians from Texas Instruments anyquestions they'd like to
about the equipments. And it'san opportunity for you to get
