Jerome B. Wiesner, 13th presi-dent of MIT and science adviser toPresident John F. Kennedy, diedlate Friday night at his home inWatertown. He was 79.

Wiesner had been ill for severalmonths with an unspecified illnessand died of heart failure, accordingto the MIT News Office.

A private memorial service washeld Sunday, and an MIT servicewill be held at a later date.

Wiesner was inaugurated aspresident on July 1, 1971 and heldthe post until June 30, 1980, whenhe retired and became a life memberof the Corporation. During hiscareer, he also served as provost,dean of the School of Science, headof the Department of ElectricalEngineering, and director of theResearch Laboratory of Electronics.

ogy in February 1961.At MIT, Wiesner was a strong

proponent of interdisciplinaryresearch programs and of the arts.He played an instrumental role inexpanding research and teachingprograms in the humanities, arts,and social sciences.

He was one of the founders ofo'^'A~-;io r -rbrh,-trr\r hsllled in the

building that bears his name.

The program is "designed forand open exclusively to minoritystudents" who are going to be highschool seniors, Trilling said. About50 students participate in the pro-gram each year, he said. The racialcomposition of the group is about"half black, half hispanic," Trillingsaid.

Students are "picked on the basisof good [Scholastic Aptitude Test]scores or good transcripts," saidWilliam H. Ramsey '51, the admin-istrative director of the program.

Ramsey, who is also the execu-tive director of engineering specialprograms at the Institute, estimatedthat eight out of the past summer's50 students "could have come frominner city backgrounds" or "inferiorschools" as did jcnnings.

Jennings' high school is "asnakepit ... of homicide and drugs,"Ramsey said. In spite of disadvan-taged backgrounds, these studentsperform equally to the rest of thestudents in the program, he said.

Approximately one third to onehalf of each MITES class goes on toenter MIT the following year, Ram-sey said.

tones, gaining attention in thenational media.

Cedric Jennings, who is AfricanAmerican and lives in a poor anddrug-ridden section of the city,attended the Minority Introductionto Engineering and Science programlast summer.

MITES is a rigorous programthat crams into six weeks what MITfreshmen go through in one semes-ter, said Professor of Aeronauticsand Astrophysics Leon Trilling,who is the academic adviser to theprogram. Students take classes incalculus, chemistry, physics, robot-ics, and writing, he said.

Trilling met with Jennings andother students toward the end of theprogram to advise them about col-lege plans, in particular about apply-ing to MIT. Trilling advised Jen-nings that his chances of admissionto MIT were not good, and heshould consider applying elsewhere,Trilling said.

Jennings charged that Trilling'sremarks were racist and one of sev-eral articles about Jennings in The[Wall Street Journtal suggested thatMITES catered to privilegedminorities, prompting a responsefrom President Charles M. Vest.

Jennings' life and experiences atthe MITES program were chroni-cled in the articles and on a segmentof the ABC television news-magazine Nightline on Oct. 6.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti-President Jean-Bertrand Aristideinformed Parliament Monday thathe has selected Smarck Michel, abusinessman and former commerceminister, as his new prime minister,sources close to Michel said.

The sources said the selectionof Michel was aimed at appeasingthe nation's powerful businesselite, which generally opposed theU.S. military intervention that ledto Aristide's return from exile onOct. 15. The reported nominationeffectively ended a period of inter-national concern about politicaldirection under the newly restoredAristide.

Aristide's ability to build bridgesto Haiti's business community isseen as crucial to stimulating badlyneeded employment and reviving aneconomy wracked by successivetrade embargoes since the 1991 mil-itary coup that had forced Aristideinto exile.

Michel's appointment had beencited by several knowledgeablesources as a crucial step in winningsupport from foreign investors andattaining international developmentfunds. Urban unemployment hoversaround 70 percent and nearly two-thirds of the country lacks potablewater.

At least two U.S.-trained eco-nomic experts - former WorldBank economist Leslie Deiatour andformer education minister LeslieVoltaire - had threatened not toparticipate in key government postsif Michel were not named primeminister. political sources said last

USAir Group Inc. Monday reported a third-quarter loss of $180.1million and predicted a continued drop in revenue for the remainderof the year as its airline struggles to cut $1 billion a year in costs.

Airline officials estimated that as much as $40 million of thisyear's third-quarter loss is a direct result of passengers turning toother airlines after last month's crash of a USAir 737 jetliner outsidePittsburgh that killed 131 people.

USAir Chairman Seth E. Schofield called the results "disappoint-ing." He said revenue for the quarter was below company expecta-tions and said USAir now expects that revenue for the rest of the yearwill be below earlier company projections. In a statement, Schofieldsaid the losses "underscore the urgent need to reduce operating coststo a level competitive with the industry."

USAir has asked its unions for wage and work-rule concessionstotaling $500 million a year to help the company achieve the $1 bil-lion in savings. So far, however, negotiations have not gone well asthe Air Line Pilots Association has refused to go along with any planto reduce the size of the airline. ALPA, whose 5,200 USAir pilotshave a no-layoffclause in their contracts, have offered wage and ben-efit concessions but have refused to agree to any action that wouldlead to a loss of jobs.

60 days as commerce minister inAristide's first cabinet, in 199 i,before quitting. He reportedly had anumber of disputes with othermembers.

Although Michel was a politicalsponsor of Aristide's 1990 bid foirthe presidency and a friend of thepresident for 12 years, he reportedlyhad grown frustrated with the pop-ulist president's tendency to makesnap decisions, often based on thecounsel of friends rather than pro-fessional advisers.

Several prominent businessmencited this tendency in opposing hisreturn. One industrialist said thepresident needed a prime ministerwho would "serve as a brake" onAristide and "be willing to stand upto him." Maintaining a clear line ofauthority was a key condition byMichel for his acceptance, a politi-cal source said.

Following Michel's initial rejec-tion of the post, Aristide floated theidea of naming Foreign MinisterClaudette Werleigh, a close person--al friend of the-president who wasrejected by the business elite as aradical. Diplomats said the Clintonadministration also made clear toAristide that it would disapprove ofWerleigh's appointment.

"We had no input into the selec-tion," U.S. Embassy spokesmanStan Schrager said.

"The whole country knows him,and all the sectors believe in him,"the aide said.

A prominent businessman whoattended a lunch with Michel Mon-day quoted him as saying he wouldconfirm the appointment on Tues-day.

Both chambers of Parliamentmust confinn Michel's appointmentbefore he can assume the post fromcaretaker Prime Minister RobertMalval.

Diplomats said Malval had beenthe Clinton administration's firstchoice to lead Aristide's cabinetinto an uncertain era of national rec-onciliation and reconstruction.

Two new studies have found that women with silicone-gel breastimplants are no more likely to develop connective tissue diseasesthan are women who do not have the implants.

Researchers at the University of Maryland Medical Center foundno link between the implants and one of the diseases, scleroderma. Alarger study at the Harvard Medical School found no evidence thatimplants played a role in that illness or several others, including lupusand rheumatoid arthritis.

Scientists from the two institutions are scheduled to present theirfindings this week at a meeting of the American College of Rheuma-tology in Minneapolis. While Hochberg agreed to discuss his findingsin advance, researchers from Harvard University refused to issue anystatements prior to Tuesday's presentation.

In recent years, thousands of women have complained that leakingimplants caused a range of health problems, including breast andjoint pain, chronic fatigue and depression. Many have also blamedleakage for the connective tissue diseases scleroderma, rheumatoidarthritis and lupus ; these destroy materials holding together many ofthe body's structures, including bone, muscle, the liver and heart.

Researchers Develop 'Super Rice'THE WASHINGTON POST

Researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)have developed a prototype breed of "super rice" that yields 25 per-cent more food per acre than today's best varieties. If planted in allsuitable parts of the world's rice-growing regions, agronomists esti-mate it could yield 100 million tons more grain than is now grown -enough to sustain an additional 450 million people a year.

Moreover, work is underway to modify the variety in a way thatpromises to achieve another 25 percent boost in yield.

Super rice lacks resistance to diseases and pests that current vari-eties possess. Lampe said plant researchers are cross-breeding thenew rice with existing resistant varieties to produce new ones thatcombine the best traits of the parents. He said that in a year or two,the first of these crosses will bie uiti'ouui t ice beccuers inl severalparts of the world for further cross-breeding with varieties suited tolocal soils and climates.

Additional plant breeding is underway to produce subvarietieswith the various cooking qualities and flavors preferred by differentcultures. These are the kinds of adaptations that are routine with mostnew varieties of any crop.

Lampe said the new breed is needed because the world has littleor no additional land on which to grow rice - the primary food ofthe part of the world where the population is growing in the largestnumbers. In fact, some of the best rice land has been lost to urban;sprawl. Overall, the area planted in rice worldwide has not increasedsince 1980.

Party legislator Gerd Poppe, calledon the PDS leader to quit his seat inParliament or clear up the charges.

Gysi has long maintained hisinnocence when it comes to theStasi, and a parliamentary commit-tee found no proof of any secretpolice activities on his part whenthey investigated eastern deputiesafter the 1990 election.

On Monday, he told ARD televi-sio. " have cot cooperated with

the Stasi. I have not betrayedclients. Just the formulation of asuspicion cannot be sufficient forme to give up my seat."

Gysi aide Dieter Liemann dis-missed the new charges as a tiredcampaign aimed at discrediting thereinvigorated party. The PDS won30 seats in the 672-seat GermanParliament on Oct. 16, in large part

due to the dynamic style of Gysi,who was voted in for a second term.

"I think this is naturally connect-ed with the election gains," Liemannsaid in a telephone interview. "If youwant to weaken the PDS, you pounceon the most prominent person."

The scandal arises just days afterthe PDS pressured one of its ownnewly elected deputies, KerstinKaiser-Nicht, to give up her seatbecause of Stasi activities.

During the campaign, the 34-year-old Kaiser-Nicht reluctantly admittedthat she had informed on fellow Ger-man students while studying Slavlanguages in -Leningrad between1979 and 1984. Eastern voters elect-ed her anwyay, but PDS leaders saidthat she had shown no remorse forher activities and they did not want towork with her in Parliament.

In accordance with Sri Lankanlaw, Commissioner of ElectionsR.K. Chandrananda De Silva gaveDissanayake's United NationalParty three days to submit the nameof a new candidate to replace theUNP's flamboyant 52-year-old stan-dard-bearer.

President Dingiri Banda Wije-tunga, denouncing the deaths of hisfellow UNP members as a "coward-ly and dastardly act," reimposed an

The powerful explosion duringan election rally in a marketplacekilled the candidate, 17 members ofthe presidential security divisionwho had been assigned to protect

him, and several top party officials,including UNP General SecretaryGamini Wijesekara, two formerministers and the party's top orga-nizer for Colombo, officials said.

Hundreds of other people suf-fered cuts and bruises, and 75 werehurt seriously, police said. Thedeath toll was put as high as 52,though hospital officials had saidsome bodies were so badly maimedthat an exact count was difficult.

Witnesses said the explosionoccurred about 10 minutes aftermidnight Sunday after Dissanayake,conscious of the hour, jokingly con-cluded a campaign speech by say-ing, "instead of saying good night, 1wish you all a very good morning."He turned to return to his chair.

Tribe Donates $10 Million toPlanned Indian Museum

THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON

The Mashantucket Pequot tribe, whose two-year-old Connecticutcasino is the largest in North America, Monday donated $10 millionto the planned National Museum of the American Indian. The gift isthe largest single cash contribution in the Smithsonian Institution's148-year history.

The 230-member tribe's first gaming ventures did not beginuntil the mid-1980s, but they have already financed a series of siz-able donations, including $500,000 to the Democratic NationalCommittee and $2 million to next year's Special Olympics WorldGames. The Pequot casino reportedly earns profits of $600 milliona year.

The American Indian Museum will eventually consist of threecomplexes devoted to exhibition, research and preservation of NativeAmerican culture: the main museum near the Air and Space Museumon the Mall, for which construction is to begin in 1996 with a 2001completion date; the restored U.S. Custom House in New York,which opens Sunday; and a cultural resource center in Suitland,which is scheduled to open in 1997. That building, expected to costaround $50 million, will be largely paid for by the federal govern-ment.

The bulk of the contents of all three museums will come from the1 million objects collected by George Gustav Heye, a New Yorkbanker who founded the former Museum of the American Indian inNew York. The Smithsonian obtained the collection, considered oneof the finest in the world, in June 1990. Since then, most of it hasremained in storage.

Pipe Dream Settlement:$750 Million

THE WASHINGTON POST

Three big chemical companies Monday tentatively agreed to com-pletely reimburse consumers who have defective polybutylene pipesin their homes, a settlement that could cost the manufacturers a mini-mum of $750 million. The settlement could affect an estimated 6 mil-lion homeowners nationally.

If the settlement is approved by a federal judge in Texas, it wouldbe the largest property damage settlement in U.S. history, accordingto the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. The settlement calls for thecompanies to cover property damage, repair and replumbing costs at100 cents on the dollar.

Monday's settlement involved a Texas class action suit against thethree chemical companies- Shell Oil Co., E.I. DuPont de Nemoursand Hoechst Celanese - that made the resin from which the pipeswere formed.

Polybutylene plastic pipes were widely installed in homes begin-ning in 1981. However, they turned out to be sensitive to concentra-tions of chemicals commonly found in drinking water. For just thatreason, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, which sup-plies water to Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Mary-iand, earlicl i'is year ii istaati such .. .s h..s .the two jurisdictions, although existing pipes do not have to be rippedout.

have been a nice gesture to mention at least aparagraph about one of the most shockingevents in the Middle East in the past year.

Perhaps there was a simple oversight onthe part of The Tech and they missed that oneminor incident which happened to occupy thefront pages of every reputable newspaper inthe nation. However, the weekend before,another severe terrorist attack took place onBen Yehuda Street, the Harvard Square ofJerusalem. A gunman stood in the middle oft:,is bus, pedestrian area and opened fire on

the crowd. Miraculously, only two innocentpeople were murdered, but many wereinjured. We find it interesting that this littlefactoid also slipped by The Tech's oh-so-watchful eye.

Up to that point we were not overwhelm-ingly impressed by The Tech's performanceon the current situation in Israel. However, thefinal injustice was done in the Friday, Oct. 21issue. Two days earlier, the Hamas used over40 pounds of explosives to demolish a passen-ger bus in Tel-Aviv's Dizengoff Street duringthe peak of the rush hour. This street holds thehighest concentration of Israelis of any streetin the entire nation and can be compared toNew York's Times Square. The bomb wentoff with such tremendous force that the top ofthe bus literally flew off, and the windows of abus two lanes over shattered, injuring manypeople in a completely unrelated vehicle. Inthe fated Dan Bus #5, 20 people were killedand 48 more were seriously injured. Tragical-ly, only 14 of those murdered remained asintact bodies. Limbs were scattered around thestreet and on the rooftops. The damage was sodevastating that the city of Tel-Aviv actuallytrimmed all the trees in the area, searching foradditional victims.

Examining The Tech on Friday, we expect-ed there to be some mention of this tragedy,the most severe terrorist attack ever in thestate of Israel. To put the situation in perspec-tive, the infamous World Trade Center bomb-ing resulted in only a tiny fraction of the dam-ages Tel-Aviv incurred on Wednesday.However, to our shocked dismay, the head-line, the last among five, read "Israeli CabinetSeals Gaza, W. Bank." Though our heartswere warmed by the entire paragraph devoted

to the massacre, the title and tone of the articleseemed to be attacking the state of Israel forits reaction to the bombing.

Even if we ignore for a moment the ludi-crous nature of this argument, it is absurd, andquite frankly offensive that without havingprinted any stories depicting what actually ledup to the administration's decision to seal theWest Bank, The Tech decided to print an arti-cle condemning the action. The fact that moreof the article was devoted to explaining thatIsrael was considering destroying the house ofthe man who implicated himself in commit-ting the bombing than to the actual incidentitself is outrageous. In addition, the portrayalof the Hamas terrorist as being upset by the"deaths of three Hamas militants killed byIsraeli soldiers" seemed to diminish the factthat those militants had kidnapped an Israelisoldier, killed him, and killed one additionalIsraeli soldier. The fact that a kidnapping hadtaken place at all was only mentioned severalsentences later, almost as an afterthought.

We realize that The Tech staff did notwrite this article. However, of the literallyhundreds of articles which appeared in everymajor paper in the past two days, this was areprehensible choice. The Tech is supposed tobe MIT's one objective newspaper and is asource of information on current events formany in our community. On the issue of therecent terrorist events in Israel, we feel thatThe Tech has done an abhorrent job and fail tosee how it can seriously present itself as anunbiased organization. We do not know whatsolution to propose other than a pathetic "tryharder next time." However, including severalactual stories from other newspapers on thematter might still help, so that the MIT com-munity will not have to rely on our letter con-cerning the outrage of your coverage for itsinformation.

The Constitution sets out exactly what wecan and cannot vote for because voting is anexercise of political power. In a democracy,that power is conferred to the people. The vot-ers are just as likely to abuse this power as

The debate over term limits for politicaloffice holders has been quietly but persistentlyraging across this country. This November,Massachusetts could become the 15th state tojoin the movement if the voters approve ballotQuestion Four. For the scores of MIT's local-ly registered student voters, this election willbe the first chance to voice your opinions onthis issue.

Unfortunately, the term limits debate hasbeen largely portrayed as anti-incurnbencyemotionalism fighting against the desperateattacks of career politicians. The result hasbeen the depiction of term limits as a knee-jerk, overly simplistic reform without muchfoundation. A more dispassionate analysis ofthe idea, however, reveals it to be a necessary,timely, and entirely reasonable reform, basedon nothing more than the idea of "balance ofpower" upon which our government rests.

The framers of the Constitution knew thatelections alone were not enough of a check onany system of representational governance.They broke up the federal governmen t intothree branches, each with the power to checkthe other, even making one immune to directelections. From that moment on, the idea thatour right to vote should be procedurallyunlimited was thrown out the window. Our

NEWS STAFF

Middle East Coverage-Slights Israeli IssuesWe realize that The Tech is not exactly The

New York Times when it comes to completecoverage of world news and affairs. Nonethe-less, MIT's oldest and largest newspaper is theprimary source of world news for a scary per-centage of MIT students. With this fact inmind, we feel that The Tech demonstrated ablatant bias against the state of Israel in its cov-erage of the horrifying events which have takenplace in the Middle East in the past two weeks.

On Tuesday, Oct. 11, an Israeli soldier waskidnapped from the heartland of Israel by theHamas. The Hamas immediately claimedresponsibility for the kidnapping and demand-ed the release of 200 Hamas prisoners by 9:00p.m. that Friday. The punishment if Israelwere not to release these prisoners was to bethe prompt, cold-blooded execution of the 20year-old Israeli soldier Nachshon Waxman(who incidentally was also an American citi-zen). As a result, the Israeli governmentdecided to attempt to rescue Nachshon Wax-man from his Hamas captors that Friday, onlyhours before his scheduled execution. Thisrescue mission unfortunately failed. TheHamas quickly killed the captive soldier, andone Israeli soldier and three Hamas terroristsdied in the exchange of fire.

This tragic event ironically took place onthe eve of the awarding of the 1994 NobelPeace Prize to Yitzhak Rabin and YasirArafat. Consequently, the Hamas kidnappingis generally seen as a direct effort on their partto disrupt the ongoing peace process betweenisrael and the Palestinians, represented byArafat and the PLO. While both the kidnap-ping and the subsequent rescue effort, com-bined with the awarding of the Nobel PeacePrize made the front page headlines of everymajor newspaper in the United States, ourlocal "objective" newspaper decided toinclude absolutely no mention of anythingeven remotely related to the incidents. Whilewe realize that it is crucial for the MIT com-munity to learn from The Tech's Oct. 18 issuethat "Defense Firms Bill U.S. Government $4Million For Entertainment Costs," it would

Incumbencythose incumbents. Then, even supposing wecould get them to stop political jockeyingsomehow and pass some of these reforms,how could we correct all the intangible imbal-ances like personal contacts and "'party clout."Incumbency inherently grants some districtsor states more say than others in the politicalprocess. It is precisely due to that imbalanceof power that none of these reforms can beachieved.

A few argue that term limits has bad sideeffects. It could create both a Congress full oflame ducks and a Congress of more easilymanipulated newcomers. The first has, in fact,often proved to be a benefit. Legislators canconcentrate on the issues and their beliefs,without constantly worrying about getting re-elected and the necessary spin control. Fur-thermore, as presidential politics has shown,lame duck office-holders are always reluctantto ruin their party's chances to elect a succes-sor in the next election. The second problem,political newcomers, is countered in manyways by the first. Manipulations by lobbyistswill be less important as the legislator will nothave to worry about preserving a politicalcareer through satisfying special interests. Theloss of experience will be countered by elect-ed officials being more in touch with the pri-vate sector they only recently left and towhich they will soon return.

Term limits is universal, impervious topartisan wrangling, leaves little room for judi-cial interpretation, and can be applied directlyby the voters and states. It is the only reformthat addresses the chronic problems with ourpolitical system. There are costs of course.We will loose some of the good representa-tives with the bad. But there were costs toefficiency in splitting the government intoseparate branches. There were costs to homerule and community standards by adopting aBill of Rights.

In every case the benefits have been worththe costs. The instances of abuse, imbalance,and corruption in our current system are toonumerous to mention. It is now an inescapablefact that the legislative process is out of con-trol, no matter who we elect. In that sense,voting for term limits may be the most impor-tant vote you could ever cast.

Imrich, from Page 4 Angry voters can vote for the challenger andget their ideas better represented, but the chal-lenger will'have no power to enact them whenelected to a sea of powerful incumbents. Prag-matic voters can vote for the incumbent, whohas the power to protect their district and mayeven represent their views, but must then facethe same type of politician from every otherdistrict. A teaching hospital in Massachusettsmay hate Sen. Ted Kennedy's plan for univer-sal health care, but knows he will at leastwork to exempt them from damage if elected.A farmer in Kansas may dislike Sen. BobDole's spending cuts, but knows that at leastthe farm subsidies will remain intact withDole to protect them. When both succeed,budgets soar and there is no way for eitherdistrict to unilaterally stop the escalation.

Term limits is that solution. It is a way forthe voters of Kansas and Massachusetts toboth give up their positions of power equally.At the state level it is a way for Somerville tobalance its power with South Boston. Itrestores balance to the process by ensuringthat procedural advantages are short-lived.Voters need not worry about a politician'sposition in the power structure, only his or herposition on the issues.

Some suggest that we only need to enact

some sort of rules reform rather than blanketlimitation on terms of office. The problem is,there's not just one or two simple rules toaddress. There are seniority rules, closedrules, parliamentary powers, committeeassignments, simply deciding what commit-tees to create, franking privileges, personalcontacts, and districting to name a few. TheVoting Rights Act was amended in 1982 tocorrect the last issue alone and only regardingracial preference and is still in court at all lev-els over 10 years later.

Others call instead for campaign financereform. While it may very well also be need-ed, it can only address certain campaign prob-lems (most notably the system of institutional-ized bribery), not incumbency. The voters arenot re-electing incumbents because they havemore money than challengers. The voters aredoing it to save themselves their preciouspolitical position. Only in the most extremecases will the need for change outweigh theability of the incumbent to protect and servicehis constituency. In election terms its calledloss of clout.

Of course, the common problem with anyof these other solutions is that no incumbentstands to gain by any such reform, while thepower to enact the reform is vested entirely in

those they vote for. Without a commitment tobasic rights, due process, and procedural bal-ance, democracy would be nothing more thanmob rule. Term limits rectifies one such pro-cedural imbalance that, until recently, was notof great importance: the power of incumben-cy.

It has long been the case that incumbentlegislators had more control over the legisla-tive process than newer members. This wasand is entirely appropriate. Senior membershave a better understanding of the process,have more experience, and are better suited toguide what, due to time, must be a limiteddebate. Rarely though did these powers conferany special benefits on the districts a legislatorrepresented. The federal budget was roughly aquarter of its current size relative to the econ-omy, and was almost entirely spent on nation-al defense. For that reason, original proposalsto limit terms were deemed unnecessary.

With the advent of an aggressively regula-tory and service-based government, begun pri-marily with the New Deal in the '30s, anavenue for imbalance was created that hasnever been corrected. Incumbent legislatorswere no longer mere representatives of con-stituent ideology, but were now deliverers oftangible services, subsidies, mandates, regula-tions, and patronage positions. This new, or atleast greatly magnified, power to deliver ser-vices resulted in a magnification of the powerof incumbency, and particularly, the imbal-ance of that power. A legislator with morecontrol of the process could bring home alarger share of the new federal pie. Now theofficer was judged not only by ideology buton positioning in the federal power structure.This change is easily documented. From 1790to 1932, the turnover rate in the U.S. Houseaveraged 41 percent, since 1932 the averagehas been cut by more than half to 17 percent.Between 1810 and 1950, only four times didthe incumbents' rate of reelection exceed 90percent, since 1950, only four times has it fall-en below 90 percent and never has it fallenbelow 86.6 percent. In that same period, how-ever, displeasure with government has consis-tently risen.

The voters are clearly caught in a trap."School sure is differentsince being taken over by private enterprise!"

SONGS FROM THE BAGELOfficial "bootleg" cassette available.The Logarhythms.

By Adam LindsaySTAFF REPORTER

production (heavy reverb and compression)may actually confuse the listener for the firstfew notes to which group is actually doing thesong - The Logs or Yes. I found this penulti-mate track to be the highlight of the disc.

The rest of the 24 tracks show the Logs intypical form. The studio tracks have cut outmuch of the sloppiness one can find in theirlive performances, but, as the one live trackdemonstrates, loses an equal amount of spon-taneous feel. "All My Loving," by The Beat-les, was recorded live last spring and has alife to it that none of the other tracks can cap-ture.

The performances on the disc, thoughsmoothed-out, are not as perfect as one mightexpect or desire. Not everyone is in tune, insync, or well-blended all the time. This is finefor the pop-oriented songs, which take uptwo-thirds of the disc and can use a bit of per-sonality, but the remaining ballads and barber-shops are noticeably flawed by this. It is clearthat the Logs aspire to a smooth, perfectly bal-anced tone for these more "artistic" pursuits,but they fall short.

Fortunately, the shortcomings are notenough to make these tracks unlistenable formost; they are pleasant enough, and short. The"classical" tracks are far from useless, howev-er. They exist as demonstrations of howarrangements should be written. Largely pro-fessional arrangements, they grow and varyover their lives.

"Linden Lea," a Ralph Vaughn Williamssong, is a good example: The Logs don'tcohere well, but the Julius Harrison arrange-

ment maintains interest in the song. In con-trast, the pop arrangements seem static andover-long. The worst offenders in repetitionare Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) theReaper" and The Cure's "Friday, I'm inLove." There is no doubt that these are excel-lent songs in their original forms, but on thisdisc, they are far too droning and repetitious.The arrangements can be encapsulated in halfthe time. There is some variation, but notenough to avoid annoying the listener by theend of these songs.

William H. Lee's '95 arrangements andperformances of the Indigo Girls' "Closer toFine" and "Galileo," on the other hand, arewonderful examples of pop arrangements thatcapture the spirit of the song while not beingboring. They are as simple as the others men-tioned above, but they capture the elusive"feel" of the songs.

Overall, the Sonlgsfrom the Bagel will beloved by Logarhythms fans because it cap-tures who they are. If not a Log fan, it will notlikely convert you. It is a lot of music (70minutes), and is likely to include your favoriteLog tune from the last two years.

The bootleg is a good idea. It includesmany selections from their live shows, somestudio outtakes, and inexplicably, selectionsfrom their prior CD. The cassette is in manyways more extreme than the CD. It includesthe Logs' most creative moment on either oftheir offerings: "Beethoven's Pitch Pipe," anexcerpt of his Fifth Symphony that must beheard to be believed. It also proudly displayslow points in the studio, including mistakes

like "Friday, I'm in Love" and "BohemianRhapsody."

The Logs' humor is also present, includingtheir "Athena Becomes Self-Aware" segmentfrom last spring and Monty Python's "Lum-berjack" song. Unfortunately, most of theother humorous excerpts have a strong "had tohave been there" quality that will mystify allbut the Logarhythms themselves.

There is also some good music, such as astudio version of the Eagles' "Seven BridgesRoad" and a loose live version of the Pro-claimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." Theinclusion of the old CD tracks are incongru-ous, and seem a bit of a cheat. The far superi-or production of the Together in Bakonatracks sticks out, and thus are unwanted andunnecessary for the fans who own the CDalready.

The bootleg is clearly for fans of the Logslive, and will be satisfying to those people. Itcertainly is a bargain at $3 when purchasedwith the $12 CD (the bootleg is $5 when pur-chased separately).

If you've seen the Logs attempting tohawk their wares to you in the Student Center,and have been tempted because of a fondnessfor MIT's all-male a cappella group, youprobably will not be disappointed and willfind a few favorites on the long disc. Youmight also do well to pick up their supplemen-tary cassette if you like the more fun, PG-13side of the Logs. If you have mixed feelingsabout the group, then you probably won'tmiss anything you can't get for free at theirlive shows.

he Logarhythms' new compact disc,Songs From the Bagel, is a good docu-ment of the state of the Logarhythms

a H during the past two years. Combinedwith their official "bootleg" cassette, therecordings give a more accurate picture ofwho the Logs are, and what they are capableof.

The disc begins similarly to their last one,Together in Bakona, in that it mixes ambi-ent/crowd noises with their first cut. Wherethere was a fake large audience in 1991,there is the noise of Harvard Square enhanc-ing the familiar "Good Old A Cappella" in1994. It is a cute concept, but does little toenhance the music. The production variesfrom mediocre, in that it does nothing to helpsome songs, to excellent, bringing out exact-ly what is needed for the cut. Positive stand-outs include the coincidentally titled, "LeaveIt Like It Is," and "Leave It." The formermixes the mellow baritone of Tyler D. Schu-bert '95 extremely forward in the mix tounderline the intimacy and strange tension ofthe song.

The a cappella standout by the rock groupYes, "Leave It," provides the climax to thedisc. The song's arrangement (or in this case,transcription) by Roy L. Rasera G lets theexcellent song speak for itself. Some copycat

By Venkatesh SatishSTAFF REPOR TER

The Registrar's Office will finishcomputerizing student transcriptsnext month as part of an office-widerestructuring program, according toRegistrar David S. Wiley PhD '61.The new system will affect all stu-dents enrolled this term, Wiley said.

The previous method of generat-ing transcripts entailed keepingrecords on paper and updating themevery semester using adhesivelabels, Wiley said. "It was a reallyoutdated, old-fashioned system ...It was an intensive manual effort."

"Any corrections at the end hadto be done by a typewriter," Wileysaid. "We have wanted to replacethe old system with a modern sys-tem for a long time."

Other reasons for the changeincluded student opinion and delaysin providing transcripts, Wiley said."The old system meant delays fortranscripts, especially during Janu-ary and February when applicationsfor graduate schools were due," hesaid. "It has always been difficult toget the transcripts done in a timelyway."

Student opinion played animportant role because students"keep reminding us every year thatit takes a long time to generate atranscript," Wiley said. "In order to

speed this up, we wanted to go to anelectronic system and we have final-ly done that."

The new system will eliminatemany of the inefficiencies createdby the manual records, Wiley said."In the past, the labels that weplaced each term could only be gen-erated after all the academic infor-mation was in. Now, we will be ableto generate transcripts at any time,not just in January," he said.

"Students will see an improve-ment in the overall quality, and onthe back [of the transcripts] therewill be more information regardingthe meaning of grades and the defin-ition of our departments," he added.

Students will also see animprovement in the appearance ofthe transcript, Wiley said. Tran-scripts will have a cardinal borderand a light gray background - theofficial MIT colors.

While the new system shouldexpedite the process of obtaining atranscript, it will take a few months

to attain full efficiency, Wiley said.When the registrar's office staffbecomes "comfortable using thesystem, we hope to get the twoweeks that it currently takes [to geta transcript] during crunch timedown to a few days," he said.

The time window is necessary sothat the staff can verify each tran-script as it is generated, Wiley said."Every time we produce a tran-script, we will want to make sure itis correct. Once everyone getsaccustomed to the new system, theprocess will improve even more,"he said.

"We hope to get to the pointwhere we will complete the tran-script with fast service. Initially, wewill have to check it, but after aboutsix months, in off-peak times, weshould get the transcripts done onthe spot," he added.

A final report on all the newdevelopments in the registrar'soffice will be released Friday, Wileysaid.

Wiesner, from Page I Wiesner was the third person toserve as presidential science adviser.MIT President James R. Killian Jr.'26 was the first. Wiesner returnedto the Institute in 1964 shortly afterKennedy's assassination.

Upon his return to the Institute,Wiesner served as dean of theSchool of Science. In 1966 he wasappointed provost, serving underthen-President Howard W. Johnson.

After his retirement as president,he continued his work on policyissues in science, technology, andsociety, with a particular emphasison the arms race. In a 1981 interviewwith The New York Times, Wiesnersaid, "we desperately need to breakthis cycle of escalation before itbecomes totally unmanageable."

In 1993, he co-authored a book-let calling for deep cuts in militaryspending. The booklet, "Beyond theLooking Glass: The United StatesMilitary in 2000 and Later," waswritten with Institute ProfessorEmeritus Philip Morrison andresearch scientist Kosta Tsipis.

Work at Radiation LabEarlier in his career at MIT,

Wiesner was a leader in the radareffort at the Radiation Laboratoryand worked with the late InstituteProfessor Norbert Wiener to spurresearch in living and human-madeinformation systems.

Wiesner was an expert onmicrowave theory, communicationsscience and engineering, signal pro-cessing, radio and radar, as well asmilitary technology, disarmament,and science policy and education.

In 1942, shortly after the UnitedStates entered World War 1I, Wies-ner joined the staff of the RadiationLab. He worked on developingmicrowave radar, and later headedProject Cadillac, an airborne radarssten project *La,- was a lox runnerof the current airborne warning andcontrol system (AWACS).

After the war ended, Wiesner

worked briefly at the Los AlamosNational Laboratory, where hehelped to develop the electroniccomponents used in the nuclearbomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946.

He returned to the Institute thatyear as an assistant professor ofelectrical engineering. From 1946 to1962, Wiesner held various posi-tions at the Research Laboratory ofElectronics, the successor to theRadiation Lab.

Wiesner was named full profes-sor in 1950 and became director ofRILE in 1952. He served as directorof RLE until 1962, when he wasnamed an Institute Professor.

From 19.59 to 1960, Wiesnerserved as acting head of the Depart-ment of Electrical Engineering.

Born in MichiganWiesner, born on May 30, 1915,

grew up the son of a shopkeeper inDearborn, Mich. He attended Dear-born public schools and the Univer-sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor,where he received bachelors degreesin electrical engineering and mathe-matics in 1937.

He received a master of sciencedegree from Michigan in 1938, anda PhD in electrical engineering in1940.

As a student at Michigan, Wies-ner was associate director of the uni-versity radio broadcasting service.Later, he served as chief engineer forthe Acoustical and Record Laborato-ry of the Library of Congress.

While at the Library of Con-gress, he helped develop recordingfacilities and equipment, and trav-eled through the southern UnitedStates with Alan Lomax, a folkloristwho made recordings of AfricanAmerican musicians.

Wiesner is survived by his wife,Laya, and their four children,Stephen, of Mitzpeh Ramon, Israel,Zachary of Watertown, Joshua ofCambridge, and Elizabeth Wiesnerof Branford, Conn.

"From his days as group leaderand division head in the RadiationLaboratory more than 50 years agothrough his presidency in the '70s, toone last years in which he has beenthe intellectual champion of theMedia Laboratory, Jerry Wiesner hasbeen single-minded in his desire andhis efforts to strengthen and improvehis beloved MIT," said Chain-nan ofthe Corporation Paul E. Gray '54.Gray served as chancellor duringWiesner's presidency and then suc-ceeded him at the office.

"This special place has benefitedbeyond acknowledgment from hisfierce belief in the value of racial,ethnic, and gender diversity in thiscommunity, from his insistence onintellectual quality in our programs,and from his vision of the ways inwhich science and technology andthe arts and humanities reinforceeach other," Gray continued.

influential science adviserWiesner was equally influential

in the world outside MIT. AsKennedy's chief adviser and plannerfor science issues, he worked on thetreaty banning all but undergroundnuclear tests that was signed by theUnited States, Soviet Union, and theUnited Kingdom in 1963.

He remained an outspoken criticof nuclear arms proliferationthroughout his later life and was afounding member of the Internation-al Foundation for the Survival andDevelopment of Humnanity, a groupof Soviet and American scientistswho raised money for research onglobal problems.

During Wiesner's tenure in theKennedy administration, Scienceeditor Philip H. Abelson said in aspeech that Wiesner "has accumu-iated and exercised more nower Ois-ihlc and invisible than any scientistin the peace-time history of thiscountry."

ITy I IKQi7 9 I I VI I I & 1Igram, Trilling met with studentsindividually for "20 minutes of con-versation" to discuss their perfor-mance in the program. "I don't lookat academics except in a very gener-al way," Trilling said. He said heoften does not evaluate the students.

Jennings "was so focused oncoming to MIT," Trilling said. "Ihad the option of encouraging him"but chose instead to "warn him hischances of admission were not verygood," he said. "His academics werenot very good."

"I didn't expect him to say whathe was going to say," Jennings said."He told me, 'Your records aren'tgood enough. Your college boardsaren't good enough,' " Jennings said."I was angry."

Trilling suggested that Jenningsapply to the University of Marylandand Howard University "becausethey are the two best engineeringschools in the greater Washington[D.C.] area." Jennings had expressedan interest in going to a college nearhis home if he could not attend MIT,Trilling said.

Trilling also said that he madethe suggestion because the twoschools are involved in a projectwith MIT called the EngineeringCoalition of Schools for Excellencein Education and Leadership.Because of MIT's partnership in theprogram, "it would be easier totransfer from them" to MIT, Trillingsaid.

Jennings said that there wereracist overtones in Trilling's sugges-tions, but Ramsey disagreed."[Trilling] gave similar advice toseveral students," Ramsey said. Jen-

nings was "the only one who reactedthinking it was a racist remark."

Vest responds to controversy

Vest wrote a letter to The WallStreet Journal in response to thenewspaper's Sept. 22 article. "Pro-fessor Trilling has told me howsorry he is about the hurt and mis-understanding generated by hisconversation with Cedric," Vestwrote.

"Acceptance to the MITES pro-gram does not mean that a studentwill be admitted to MIT," Vestwrote. "MIT will continue to seek

out the Cedric Jennings of Americain our efforts to bring talentedminority students into the nation'scolleges and universities."

"I don't accept ProfessorTrilling's apology," Jennings said. "Idon't think that he should be the aca-demic adviser [of MITES] for nextyear."

Though Jennings said that heliked the MITES program overalland "mainly liked the people there,"MIT is no longer his top choiceschool. In addition to the meetingwith Trilling, Jennings said, "I wasturned off by the campus."

Jennings is planning to apply to17 schools, including MIT, "to see ifI can get in," he said. MIT is now"somewhere around number I0." Hisfirst choice is Brown University,where he is applying for early action,he said. "I'm going to prove themwrong," Jennings said on Nightline."I can get into M IT."

"MITES should be more gearedtowards people who are in disadvan-taged environments," Jennings said."The city schools are overlooked.There should be more focus on thosewho really need [the prograrn]," hesaid.

"With some hesitation, weaccepted him. He was far and awaythe best student in a not-very-goodHigh school," Trilling said. "HisSAT scores were low," Trilling said.H Jennings scored a 910 out of a possi-ble I 600 on the SAT.

Despite the low score, "wethought he had potential ... [and itwas] worth taking the chance,"Trilling said.

Ramsey, however, said that Jen-H nings was accepted "before the first

[ Academically, Jennings "had hisstruggles," Ramsey said. "His expec-

Lisanti said that since its cre-ation, the MIT home page hasgrown in popularity so that it nowreceives requests from as many asI 1,000 computers around the Inter-net in one day.

The Web page was establishedbecause "MIT wants to make infor-mation more readily available to theinternal MIT community, as well asto the outside world," Lisanti said.

Lisanti said that MIT's WWWpresence also increases the visibilityof MIT to those who might want towork with the university or providefunding.

Simha PreviewsBuilding Projects

Buildings, from Page I

1997, Simha said.The move of the Al lab and LCS to the Building 20 site is contin-

gent upon the Department of Electrical Engineering and ComputerScience raising the necessary funding for the new building, Simhasaid. The proposed new building will also house the Laboratory forInformation and Decision Systems, he said.

The new building would be joined to the main complex of build-ings "to bring the computer science faculty closer to their colleaguesin accordance with MIT's philosophy," Simha said.

By the turn of the century, MIT plans to recycle parts of Buildings12 and 24 for a physics building renovation that would consolidatethe physics department in one area, Simha said. This renovation isalso contingent on funding, he said.

The Jack C. Tang Center for Management Education, a majorconstruction project in front of Building E53 that is nearing comple-tion, is expected to be open for classes by the fall of next year, Simhasaid.

Funding for all building projects generally comes from a combi-nation of sources including profits from research, gifts from alumniand corporations, and bank loans, Simha said.

Because the Institute makes about a 30-year commitment to anewly tenured member of the faculty, it is logical to have a plan "thatreflects this commitment to housing the labs and offices of these fac-ulty members," Simha said.

The average time for a building project to go from idea to comple-tion is about !0 to 15 years, Simha said. However, some projects take.much longer to initiate, such as the demolition of Building 20, hesaid.

4-3, MIT was intent on winning itsnext match against a tough North-eastern University team, which hadbeaten MIT in the Eastern Colle-giate Athletic Conference regionalqualifying tournament by over 20strokes.

After two days of intense practice,MIT hosted Northeastern last Thurs-day at Crystal Springs golf course.

This was a day where everythingclicked for MIT. Several MIT play-ers entered what golfers call "thezonc," a state in which the person

A cannot do anything wrong, where theclub becomes a part of the golfer'sbody and the golf ball goes exactlywhere the player wants it to go.Almost all of the MIT golfers postedpersonal-best scores for the season.

Kawamoto fired an even-par 72,which included four birdies and aneagle. This tied the MIT courserecord at Crystal Springs. Tracadasregained some of the form that heshowed in the spring, and struck theball beautifully en route to an eight-over--par 80.

Young Kim '98 finally showedthat he could score with his incredi-

bly smooth swing and posted an 81,much to his own surprise. Burlaud,who holds nothing back when itcomes to driving the ball, was ableto avoid the disaster holes and shotan 82.

Morten Hoegh '98, a great put-ter, was able to conquer the slow,rain-softened greens and shot an 83.Brian Schuler '96, who has beenboth brilliant and horrendous thisseason, played solidly and came inwith an 83.

MIT shot 398 to Northeastern's411, ending its fall match seasonwith a winning record.

ping those throw-ins. Holland's annand accuracy could have been great-ly used by the Curry football teamlast week against MIT.

Head coach Walter Alessi said,"When we play well, we can have aresult like this. We play inconsis-tently."

"Good way to finish our home"season, Alessi said.

However, Curry did have a sig-nificant weapon in their arsenal.Whenever the ball would go out ofbounds after an MIT player touchedit, the Colonels had Hollandinbound the ball. His throw-in pass-es would go 30 or 40 yards directlyat the MIT goal.

Fortunately for MIT, Jindalmade some excellent saves by stop-

tih- season after Matt Sills couldnot clear the ball out of the Curryh:'!f. On the play Samuel Pearlman';6i registered his fourth assist ofthe season, along with RobertFrederick '95, who contributed hisfirst.

Following the second MIT goal,Curry took the ball and moved it tothe Engineer goal. They almost tiedbut Raja Jindal '95 made an excel-lent save to blunt a Colonel threatonly 30 seconds after Villaquiran'sgoal.

Four minutes later, PaulMashikian '95 scored his first goalof the season when he slammed arebound off a Villaquiran shot intothe Curry net. Villaquiran registeredhis fourth assist on the play.

After keeping the ball in theCurry half of the field for the nextfive minutes, Pearlman connectedon his fifth goal of the season onFrederick's second assist to giveiviiT a safe 4-1 lead.

However, MIT still was not fin-ished. After trading corner kickswith Curry for the next 10 minutes,NMIT had a free kick with 2:29 toplay in the half. Jaime Sarabia '98converted the free kick for his firstgoal of the season. The resulting5-1 Engineer lead would stand untilhalftime.

For the half, MIT had 14 shots toCurry's eight but the number of cor-ner kicks was even at four for eachitam.

In the second half, the officialskepi watch on offsides. Consequent-ly, the Engineers were called threetimes during the half and twice in a30-second period. However, MITcontinued to press Curry.

The pressure resulted in one finalgoal as Pearlman connected on hissecond goal of the game, and sixth ofthe season, on an assist by ThomasBarber '97.

Sunday was one of the days thatmost competitive rowers look for-ward to. Every year in October,rowers from all over the worldcome to the Boston area for theHead of the Charles Regatta, thelargest single-day rowing regatta inthe world.

The event attracts over 4,500competitors who vie for a title inone of 16 race events.

This year the weather conditionscooperated, at least in the earlygoing, while the athletes, officials,spectators, vendors, and equipmentlined the banks of a large part of theCharles River.

As local participants, MIT had anumber of entries in the variousevents.

The most successful result of theMIT contingent came in the men'sClub Eights event, where the first oftwo crews representing MIT scoreda first-place victory out of a field of61 boats, with a time of 15 minutes,30 seconds.

The triumphant crew was com-prised of, from bow to stem, FranzBusse '95, Chris Putnam '96, JeffTomasi '96, Adam Cotner '96,Toby Ayer '96, Lorin Theiss G,John Singer '95, Nate Crosswhite'95, with Peter Yao '95 ascoxswain.

At this regatta, the races areessentially a race against the clock,as each boat starts about 10 sec-onds apart, and the winner is theone which crosses the finish line inthe least amount of time. The boatfrom MIT was the 17th to start, butwas the 10th to cross the finishline.

According to Theiss, the crewhad started out strong and solidly

1

SPORTS 'Page 24 THE TECH October 25, 1994

By Daniel WangSPORTS EDITOR

with a stroke rating of 34 strokesper minutes. The crew then settleddown to a 32 for the first milebefore raising it a little bit. For thefinish, they came on strong with thestroke rating increased to 35.

Interestingly, the MIT boat lost afew seconds through an altercationwith a boat from Boston College.The crew caught up with the BCboat, but the BC boat failed to yield,causing oars to clash a little bit. TheMIT crew was obviously not seri-ously affected, but the BC boat,along with one from NortheasternUniversity veered off the course andinto a bank of the river.

Theiss said, "Conditions wererough from so many boats." Hisstatements describes the boatwash,which results from the movement ofa boat disturbing the water, oftenmaking travel rougher for boats thatfollowing. Considering the resultdespite the adversity, he said, "Wefelt like we raced well."

With the victory in the ClubEights, the members of the crewhave qualified for the ChampionshipEights, one of the feature events, innext year's edition of the Head ofthe Charles Regatta. It is therewhere some of them will square offagainst the top college crews in thenation, and a few from other coun-tries.

Theiss and Tomasi have hadexperience in racing at the champi-onship level. Two years ago, theywere part of the crew which won thesame Club Eights events. The fol-lowing year, however, the crew didnot finish within 5 percent of thewinning time, the criteria for quali-fying for the next year's champi-onship event. Having won the ClubEight again, next year, the two willhave the chance to improve on their

previous result.

MIT had two other entries in theClub Eights event - another heavy-weight crew and a lightweight boat.The other heavyweight finished in16th place, about 40 seconds behindthe winner, while the lightweightboat finished 22nd.

Also among the men, MIT hadan entry in both the Club Fours andthe Championship Fours. MIT rep-resentatives finished 16th in theClub category, and placed 27th(17.52.09) in the Championshiprace.

As for the women, the Engi-neers fielded representatives in theClub, Lightweight, and Champi-onship Eights categories. In thesame order of events, crews fromMIT placed 16th (18:32.51), ninth(18:44), and 20th (17:28.8), respec-tively.

Two MIT professors also com-peted in the regatta. Professor ofMathematics Hartley Rogers Jr. fin-ished second in the Men's VerteranSingles event. Professor of BiologyMalcolm L. Gefter finished ninththe the Men's Grand Masters Sin-gles event.

The next major event for boththe men's and women's crews willthe Foot of the Charles, which willtake place in November. Thevenue will again be the CharlesRiver, but with a slightly differentcourse. The novice team memberswill join the varsity in the competi-tion.

After the Foot of the Charles, therowers will spend months indoorsfor winter training, then will returnin the spring for a full schedule of'meets and races.

In 1919 Ma Edlestein opened her new restaurant. The S&S.The name came from the Yiddish expression essen essen, oreat eat! And it summed up Ma's philosophy.

75 years later Ma's great grandson and granddaughterare keeping up the tradition and serving a lot more than just deli.

These days you can get everything front grilled salmon,to a boursin burger, to chocolate mouse pie, to greatdeli. In portions that Ma would have been proud of.

At the end of the race, Crain and Darley finished first and secondrespectively, far ahead of the third-place finisher.

Dan Helgesen '97 finished fourth, and Josh Feldman '97 finisheda few seconds behind him to take fifth place.

These four team members were named to Constitution AthleticConference's first team, while Arnold Seto '96 was named to CAC'ssecond team for his seventh-place finish. Coach Halston Taylorreceived the CAC Coach of the Year award.

The Engineers, currently ranked 12th in the nation among Divi-sion III schools, will travel to New Hampshire this Saturday to faceDivision II powers Keene State College and University of Massachu-setts at Lowell.

This will be the team's last chance at competition before thenational qualifiers, which will be held at the University of SouthernMaine this year. The New Hampshire race will also determine theteam's seventh varsity member. A good showing in New Hampshirewill put MIT in excellent position to qualify as a team for nationals.

play as she set up a penalty cornerpass that Pattie Hahn '96 stopped,allowing Katherine Merrilees '97 toblast the ball into the goal, increas-ing the MIT lead to 2-0.

A few minutes later, Nichols wasactually able to bring the ball pastmid-field, into the MIT half. With alittle less than 22 minutes to play,Nichols came the closest to nettingthe ball, when an inbound pass hitthe outside of the goal.

Five minutes later, Nichols hadanother chance to score when Chris-tine Carlo stood in front of the MITgoal, ready for a pass from anapproaching teammate. However,Carlo miss the pass, and MITregained control.

M IT scored its third goal in quitean unusual fashion. A crowd ofplayers from both teams inside thepenalty circle made the action hardfor spectators view. In what seemedquite confusing, the ball took aflight over the heads of the players,then bounced into the goal past anunsuspecting Nichols goalkeeper.

Apparently, Sohah Iqbal '98took a shot at the goal and the ballcollided with the stick of Merrilees,causing it to gain air. Iqbal wascredited with the goal, with Mer-riiecs providing the assist.

Despite having a minimalamount of time on offense, Nicholssaw a golden opportunity to scorewhen Kerry Shechy received a passand charged down half the length ofthe field on a solo breakaway. Noneof the MIT defenders were able tostop her, leaving goalkeeper LauraWalker '97 the only one betweenShechy and the goal.

Amid much excitement on theNichols bench, Walker maintained

her poise; .forcing her adversary toshoot wide. The miss triggeredexcitement among the MIT specta-tors, who endured the rains.

Once possession returned to theEngineers, they were able to capital-ize on their offensive strength andadd another goal late in the game.On this play, Anshu Sinha '98received the ball near the Nicholsgoal off a penalty corner play.

Sinha seemed to be in good posi-tion to score, but fumbled the ball.Fortunately, Stephanie Maifert '98was nearby to recover the ball andsend it into the goal to make thescore 4-0.

With the team having scored twogoals off of penalty corners, Man-gion was even happier with the per-formance, and said, "We wanted tocapitalize on corners, which wedid."

The offense did not seem to letup after scoring. The MIT playerswere even looking for another goalin the closing seconds, which spec-tators counted down.

The control that the Engineersdisplayed throughout the game wasclearly shown in the final statistics.In the entire game, the MIT offensetook 30 shots on goals, whileNichols took only 9. Walker neededto make only two saves, while hercounterpart made 14.

Both Silva and Mangion agreedthat the team's ability to worktogether, and to place pressure onthe opponent were ingredients to theits success. Both commented thatthe two factors contributed much tothe win over Nichols, and are essen-tial to success in general.

Overtime loss to WPIThe team played its final regular

season Saturday at Worcester Poly-

techic Institute, which ended up in aheartbreaking 1-0 loss in sudden-death overtime. According to Man-gion, MIT dominated most of thegame, but could not put the ball intothe net. WPI won the game off of acorner play with about six minutesremaining in. the 15-minute over-time period.

Despite the loss to WPI,.theEngineers continue one of theirmost successful seasons ever. Theirrecord of 11-4 marks the first timein field hockey that MIT has won 11games in a single season.

The loss to WPI has, however,affected the Engineers' ranking inthe New England Women's EightConference, which decides seedingsin the season-ending conferencetournament.

Before the WPI game, the Engi-neers had a chance to tie for firstplace in the conference. With theloss, though, their final conferencerecord stood at 3-3, in fourth placebehind WPI, Wellesley College, andBabson College. For the first roundof the tournament, the higher-seed-ed team will have the home-fieldadvantage.

The Engineers will still hosttheir first round game againstWheaton College, which had a simi-lar record but lost to MIT in theirmeeting. The game will take placeThursday at 3 p.m. at the artificialturf of Jack Barry Field.

Mangion seemed to show someconfidence in her team as it headsinto post-season play saying, "Thisis the best team ever while I've beenhere."

TEU TVFI' Pape 77

By Daniel WangSP(ORlIS EDITOR

Following a 1-0 win over Uni-versity of Massachusetts at Dart-mouth two days earlier, the fieldhockey team continued its string ofsuccesses with a 4-0 victory athoime last Thursday, over NicholsCollege. The non-conference winbrought the team's overall recordfor the season to 1 1-3, making it thewvinningest field hockey team ininstitute history.

T he Engineers had a slow start,but soon picked up steam and domrni-nated the rest of the game. Theyspent a large part of the game withpossession of the ball, in theNichols half of the field. When notattacking, they did not allow theBisons to go far with the ball.

Whenever a Nichols player triedpassing or clearing the ball out of itshalf of the field, an MIT player wasalmost always there to intercept thebail. Coach Cheryl Silva creditedher nicdfi elders and defenders forinaking this as successful as it was.

C(o-captain Catherine Mangion'95 said after the game, "Peoplean !icipated where the ball wasgoing. [Nichols players] didn't havea chance to move the ball around."

For the first 20 minutes, despite

some scoring opportunities for MIT,neither side really had a good shotat the goal. This, and the rains thatfell sporadically, did not stop asmall but fervent crowd of fansfrom cheering. At one time, fans leda cheer of spelling out "Massachu-setts Institute of Technology," a rit-ual that had previously only beenused at football games.

After achieving and retainingclear control of the ball, MIT finallybroke the scoreless tie with 10 min-utes, 16 seconds remaining in thefirst half. Following a stoppage ofplay, Mangion restarted play with apass from the outside of the penaltycircle.

The pass traveled across thefield, and found the stick of CarlaOshiro '95, who was waiting infront of the Nichols goal. Oshirowas in perfect position to score,which she did easily. There were afew more chances to score, but thegoal would end up being the onlyone of the half.

The second MIT goal came a lit-tle more than seven minutes into thesecond half, which seemed muchlike a continuation of the first half.Mangion again was a part of this
