An administration committee isdeveloping a plan for considerationthat would move undergraduatescurrently residing in east campusdormitories to current graduate andnew undergraduate dormitories onthe west side 'of campus, officialssay.

"Undergraduates would be betterserved if they all lived on the westside of campus, and concentratedundergraduate activity in that area,"said Arthur C. Smith, dean forundergraduate education and stu-dent affairs.

Smith has directed the high-levelStrategic Housing Planning Com-mittee to "look very seriously at theidea of having all undergraduateslive on west campus," he said. "Itseems to me it would be a good wayto have a more cohesive studentbody."

The committee is chaired byRobert M. Randolph, senior associ-ate dean in the UESA office.

Residents, AlumsProtest Proposal

By Daniel C. StevensonNEWS EDITOR

Current residents and alumni of Senior House and East Campusare alarmed and troubled about the administration's discussions torenovate the two dormitories for graduate housing.

The Undergraduate Association president has also expressed con-cem.

Since early September, the Strategic Housing Planning Committeehas been gathering information to develop a plan to move undergrad-uates out of east campus dormitories into current graduate and newundergraduate dormitories on west campus. The committee, chairedby Robert M. Randolph, senior associate dean for undergraduate edu-cation and student affairs, was formed at the request of UESA DeanArthur C. Smith.

According to a source who spoke with a committee member, thecommittee's plans call for renovating Senior House and East Campusas graduate dormitories within three to five years.

Randolph has said that he cannot guarantee that undergraduateswould be living in Senior House next fall.

The idea of moving undergraduates to west campus "is complete-ly ridiculous," said East Campus resident Leah C. Schechter '96. Theeast campus area is important because of the strong undergraduatetradition, she said.

"If you try to shove everybody into housing in west campus andyou take away this tradition, you will not only be making a lot ofpeople who live here very unhappy, but also will be hurting the grandtradition that has been carried on for years," Schechter said.

If such a plan is enacted, the Institute will be "a very grim andunpleasant place," Schechter said.

Delegates to a 60-nation MiddleEast economic conference agreedMonday to create a region-widedevelopment bank that will includeIsraelis and Arabs on its board ofdirectors and will concentrate onloans to job-creating private busi-nesses, participants said.

The bank, to be created alongwith a regional tourist board and achamber of commerce, will becomethe first official institution to bridgethe Arab-Israeli conflict that haskept the region in turmoil for almosthalf a century.

U.S. Secretary of State WarrenChristopher, who advocated a four-point program centered on theestablishment of a regional bank ina speech to the opening session Sun-day of the Middle East-North AfricaEconomic Summit, claimed victoryin a Monday news conference.

SKOPJE, MACEDONIA

For a man freshly rewarded for peacefully piloting this formerYugoslav republic to independence, President Kiro Gligorov exudedlittle semblance of victory Monday after his Alliance for Macedoniawon an unassailable lock on power.

With Greece strangling the country with an economic blockade,U.N. sanctions against Serbia costing Macedonia $3 billion, and theregion's ethnic conflicts poised to spread here, Gligorov emergedfrom the elections with a sobering vision of the perils that lie ahead.

"I don't feel a sense of triumph," the president conceded in aninterview, even as his moderate coalition was racking up a command-ing majority of the 120-seat national assembly.

International election monitors described the two-stage voting forpresident and Parliament that concluded Sunday as reasonably freeand fair, considering the general instability of the Balkans and thefledgling nature of democratic reform here.

But the vote was marred by low turnout and an opposition boy-cott, ostensibly in protest of widespread fraud, leaving the new lead-ership with the one-party look of the old communist monopolyreplaced during Macedonia's first pluralist vote four years ago.

Uncle Sam now pays more than 55,000 federal employees in theWashington area not to drive alone to work. Tax-free $20 to $60 permonth subsidies are given to those taking the bus, subway, commutertrains or van pools to work.

But feds who jog, bike or walk to work have a shot at getting UncleSam to financially reward their good habits. l/hat they need is toughlocal laws aimed at getting folks off the roads by any means necessary.

By law, private and public employers can (but aren't required to)give employees up to $60 a month to encourage the use of publictransportation. Few private firms give the full $60 a month.

Since many VIPs get free parking, or subsidized parking, the onlypeople who are out of the running here, so to speak, are feds whowalk, run or bike to work, plus a couple of brave CIA types whokayak from Maryland to their office in Langley. Some walkers, bik-ers and runners feel they are being discriminated against comparedwith bus and subway riders and those who get subsidized parking.

CASPER, WYO.

For 20 years, Goode Cheatham has provided abortions to hun-dreds of women in this vast, independent-minded state, and the doc-tor makes no apologies for his work - not even now, when manyresidents would like to declare him an outlaw.

On Nov. 8, voters here will decide what to do about the proposedWyoming Human Life Protection Act. Known as Initiative No. 1, it isthe nation's only anti-abortion referendum and surely qualifies as theboldest attempt yet by a state to restrict abortions. If successful, themeasure would for the first time brand most doctors who offer abor-tions as criminals, liable for penalties of up to 14 years in prison."This state has 800,000 sheep," he said in an interview last week,"and it is my personal opinion that on November 8th, we'll find outhow many two-legged sheep we have."

What is happening here in Wyoming is a distillation of the intensedebate, the bitter emotions, that shape the abortion issue in the UnitedStates. Proposed by an evangelical group called the Unseen HandsPrayer Circle and supported by the state's large Catholic community,Initiative No. 1 is viewed either as a bold move to protect the rightsof "the unborn child" and of women "exploited by the abortion indus-try" or an unconstitutional nightmare that will cost millions of dollarsin court battles and may result in a reurnm to back-alley abortions.

U.S. officials said a committeeof experts will meet soon to workout details for the regional bank, aprocess they said will take about sixmonths. Among the matters yet tobe decided is the amount of initialcapitalization needed and the sharesthat will be purchased by the West,by oil-rich countries of the PersianGulf and by other members.

Although rumors of a $10 billionfund that circulated at the confer-ence were said by officials close tothe process to be far too high, Euro-pean diplomats said the bank will beas well-financed as the one createdto underwrite the transformation ofthe economies of the formerly com-munist countries of Eastern Europe.

Christopher said the bank, unlikethe World Bank and the Internation-al Monetary Fund, will emphasizeloans to private businesses, ratherthan to governments, in an effort togenerate jobs in both Israel andArab countries.

In addition, Christopher said, thebank will finance "cross-border pro-jects" such as roads, water develop-ment and other facilities that "knitt1a rsilt t LUgener.

As a result of the Arab-Israeliconflict, the region is very short onfacilities that serve more than one ortwo countries, and most countriestrade more with Europe, NorthAmerica and even the Far East thanwith their immediate neighbors.

While Christopher emphasizedeconomic development as an under-pinning for the recent peace agree-ments signed by Israel with Jordanand the Palestine Liberation Organi-zation, diplomats from the regionnoted the importance of Israelis andArabs working together on develop-ment projects and in joint organiza-tions such as the proposed chamberof commerce and tourist board.

Although 10 heads of state orgovernment and 60 Cabinet minis-ters attended the sessions, the con-ference's most significant workcame in a series of seminars inwhich business leaders discussedregional development with govern-ment officials.

Saudi Arabia, the region's eco-nomic heavyweight, shunned mosthigh-profile events at the confer-ence, but Saudi business leaderswere active participants in meetingson development of regional energy,transportation and water projects,which will require multimillion-doi-lar financing and offer work to theirconstruction companies - and withthe expansion of the regional bank-ing system.

The activities in Casablancaseemed to drive the final stake intothe heart of the Arab economic boy-cott of Israel. Almost everythingthat happened at the conference wasa technical violation of the boycott,but nobody seemed to care. Ineffect, the boycott is ended,although it remains on the books.

Businessman Suspected of TaxFraud Wnms Moscow Election

China SpeculatesAbout Deng's Failing Health

By Steven MufsonTHE WA4SHINGTON POST

BEIJING

The Chinese equivalent of Kremlinology has been a busy businessrecently, fueled by a spate of rumors that China's 90-year-old leader,Deng Xiaoping, is near death.

Speculation about Deng's death - a favorite pastime here formany years -began its most recent boomlet when Deng failed tomake an appearance on Oct. I for China's National Day, the 45thanniversary of the Communist Party victory over the Nationalists.

Last week, Deng's daughter and private secretary Deng Rong,during a visit to Hong Kong, asserted that her father was okay. "Hishealth is not bad,".she was quoted as saying in the South ChinaMorning Post. "Of course, he is a 90-year-old man now." But unlikeher aunt, Deng Rong said she watched the fireworks with her father atZhongnanhai, the home and office compound for Chinese leadersnear Tiananmen Square, not at the government guest house.

Much is at stake. Deng has been the architect of China's economicreforms over the past 16 years and has held together competing fac-tions within the Communist Party while pursuing rapid economicgrowth and tight political control. His designated successors - prin-cipal among them is president and party chief Jiang Zernin - will behard-pressed to do the same because they lack his stature and authori-ty.

Court to Reconsider Church-StateSeparation Ruling

By David G. SavageLOSANGELES TIMES_

WASHINGTON

Reacting to widespread complaints from Christian legal advo-cates, the Supreme Court said Monday that it will reconsider a lowercourt ruling that bars a state university from subsidizing a studentmagazine because it espouses an "avowedly Christian" perspective.

In recent years, Christian legal groups have complained that the highcourt's insistence on a strict separation of church and slate sometimestranslates into discrimination against mainstream religious groups.

For example, some school and state college officials have saidthat their institutions may subsidize student groups which promotefeminism, environmentalism, gay rights or a variety of other causesbut they may not subsidize student groups that promote religion.

This approach "strips religious speakers of their constitutionalprotection" to freedom of speech and "condones discriminationagainst religion," according to lawyers for a Christian students' groupat the University of Virginia.

Their complaints now have won a hearing at the high court.Last year, the court intervened when a school district refused to rent

its auditorium to a group that espoused Christian values, even though itallowed other groups to use the facility. In overturning that discrimina-tory policy, the justices said that public officials must treat religiousgroups like all others when their doors are opened to outsiders.

The University of Virginia case gives the court a chance to decidewhether thAe sme rulel appnlie uwhen govomment subsidies are dis-

as churches and ancient Greek monuments, isnot justifiable and did not serve the purposeof restoring the constitutional order. If thatwas why Turkey invaded Cyprus, I'm won-dering why the Turkish troops are still pre-sent on the island 20 years after the invasionoccupying its territory. I'm wondering inwhat ways the Turkish-Cypriots have benefit-ed from the invasion which imposed separa-tion on them. I'm wondering how healthy it isfor the Turkish-Cypriot community to havethe same political leader for more than 20years.

More than 60,000 Turkish settlers havebeen transported to the occupied areas, in anattempt to change the demographic characterof the island. These settlers, while Turks, arecompletely different culturally from the Turk-ish-Cypriots whose culture is very similar totheir Greek counterparts. The Turkish-Cypri-ots are becoming a minority in the occupiedareas and are migrating to other westerncountries. I'm wondering who has benefitedso far from the invasion besides Turkishexpansionism.

As a conclusion, I would like to point outthat it is not to the interest of the Turkish sideto talk about the past. In fact it is not to any-one's interest to talk further about the past.What we should all be concerned with is howa peaceful solution to the Cyprus issue can befound, which will be acceptable not by Greeceor Turkey, but by the people of Cyprus. Andcertainly, peace cannot be achieved by thepresence of 30,000 troops in the north part ofthe island.

together.Denktash for instance is still bragging

about planting a bomb in 1958 outside theTurkish consulate which was blamed onGreek-Cypriots and caused a great deal ofstrife between the two communities. In 1963TNT, a Turkish-Cypriot terrorist group,attacked and killed the publishers of theTurkish Cypriot newspaper Cumhuriet, forsupporting cooperation between the two com-munities. I could go on and mention bomb-ings of civilians by Turkish planes in 1964and 1967. Even the then-Secretary General ofthe United Nations U Thant in a reportblamed Turkey for trying to "reinforce theclaim that the two communities cannot livetogether." It is thus clear that the tension cre-ated in Cyprus one or two decades before1974, on which the authors of the letters men-tioned above have elaborated so much, wassupported by Turkey and by no means justi-fies the Turkish invasion.

Finally the author uses the standard excuseof Turkish propaganda that Turkey had theduty to defend the 18 percent Turkish-Cypriotminority as a result of an international treaty.The constitutional order in Cyprus was indeedwrongly violated by the unpopular militaryjunta of Greece. The democratic people ofGreece were also victims of the junta and can-not be held responsible for the actions of itsleaders who are still serving life sentences.

But Turkey's duty was to protect the con-stitutional order of Cyprus and, I believe, anyunbiased person would agree that killing, rap-ing and humiliating civilians as well asdestroying the island's cultural heritage, such

Turkey Deserves MoreBlame for Cyprus

During the past few weeks there has been adiscussion in the columns of The Tech aboutthe Cyprus issue. The recent letter by SiddakSinan Keskin G ["Biased Opinions on CyprusIssue Bode III for Peace," Oct. 28] does notseem to be as outrageous, provoking, and bad-tempered as the guest column by KeremLimon '97, Levent M. Talgar '97 and mem-bers of the Turkish Students Association["Infinite Corridor Posters Push Fascism forCyprus," Oct. 14], a fact which is greatlyappreciated; but I think that it is still mislead-ing and fails itself to reflect the reality of thesituation in Cyprus and be objective, as itimplicitly claims.

In an effort to justify the Turkish invasionin Cyprus, Keskin claims that the "interven-tion of the Turkish army" was not a plannedevent but a sudden necessity because of thegenocide of Turkish-Cypriots by someextremist Greek-Cypriot minority. Even if weaccept this "unbiased" point of view, I thinkthat any objective person would still havedoubts about the particular way Turkey choseto "intervene" and divide Cyprus into twoparts.

In fact, Turkey has always planned theinvasion in Cyprus and the "taksim" (parti-tion) of the island, prior to 1974. In 1939,soon after the annexation of Hatay, a predomi-nantly Syrian city, Kemnal Ataturk, the founderof modern Turkey stated: "The turn of Cyprushas not yet come".

In 1956 the Turkish-Cypriot leader F.Kutchuck submitted on a map taksim propos-als dividing Cyprus to ?North and South. Sincethe 1974 Turkish invasion deviated from the1956 plan only in minor details, I have troubleaccepting the author's statement that the inva-sion was not planned. On the other hand thecurrent Turkish-Cypriot leader Denktash him-self contradicted the author's argument of pro-tectionism of the Turkish-Cypriot minoritywhen he stated, "Even if the Turkish-Cypriotsdid not exist, Turkey would not have leftCyprus to Greece."

Of course there were problems betweenthe two communities in the 1950s and 1960sand innocent Turkish-Cypriots did suffer fromextremists condemned by the overwhelmingmajority of the Greek-Cypriots and the Cypri-ot government. Unfortunately, many of theseacts were directed by Turkey in an effort toprove that the two communities could not live

considered by the committee.Undergraduates in Senior House

and East Campus would move intoAshdown and the soon-to-be-com-pleted Next House. Walker Memor-ial would also be renovated as agraduate student center. Wadleighsaid that the idea of having an eastcampus graduate student center "hasbeen on the docket since 1957."

The 1980 administration airedthe proposal to the MIT communitybefore making any decisions. TheCorporation was to have the finalsay because of the substantial costsof the renovation.

However, the UndergraduateAssociation president at the time

complained that he and the Dormi-tory Council president had not beenconsulted before the announcementof the proposal. Residents of SeniorHouse and East Campus stronglyopposed the proposal.

In May 15, 1980, the administra-tion withdrew the proposal, callingit a "pre-proposal." Preservation ofhouse identities and lifestyles andthe need for further study were themain reasons cited by the adminis-tration.

The housing administrators alsosaid that they needed to dispel theconsiderable animosity and mistrustbetween the administration and stu-dcnts that the proposal raised.

The Strategic Hlousing PlanningCommittee's discussion concerningthe renovation of east campus dormi-tories for graduate student use is not anew idea. In March 1980, the admin-istration announced a plan to switchSenior House and East Campus resi-dents with Ashdown House residents["'Administration to Consider Hous-ing Shift," March 18, 1980].

Suggested by the then-Dean ofthe Graduate School Kenneth R.Wadleigh '43 in response to a hous-ing shortage for graduate students,this 1980 plan included elementssimilar to the current plan being

Teller said he was taken to Massachusetts Gener-al Hospital, where after several X-rays and a CAT-scan, it was found that he had a concussion. He wasreleased later that night. Teller thanked the CampusPolice, the hospital, andSteve S. Lin '98, Cleary, andDarci Truong '98 for helping him.

Contestants enjoyed UJMOC

After Schwarz figured that he

should let the campus acknowledgehis appearance, he entered theUMOC contest, Schwarz said. "Iwas very aggressive and I did every-thing that I could to enhance mynatural ugliness."

Schwarz's costume includedtaped-up glasses, a pillow stuffed inthe back of his shirt to make it seemlike a hunchback, and a trench coatwith a stapled pocket protector.

Schwarz said that he also sangannoying songs repetitively until he

"I know that I am going to enteragain next year because it is themost preposterous thing that thecampus would think that there issomebody uglier than me," Schwarzsaid.

Unlike Sparvero and Schwarz,Scott D. Centurino G, the thirdplace contestant, chose to run anelectronic-mail campaign becauseof a lack of time.

"I sent annoying e-mail mies-sages to everyone I knew tellingthem to vote for me. And it seemsthat it worked pretty well," Centuri-no said.

"I think that the best thing aboutUMOC is that you can't ever takeyourself too seriously. I feel sorryfor anyone who ever tries to set meup on a blind date because all theycan say is that I have a good person-ality," Sparvero said.

Reaction, from Page I the committee, Sankaran said. "Thepublic should have access to the fullplan."

Russell S. Light '98, UAC floorleader, said he expected the council"to be quite unhappy with the non-public nature" of the committee'swork.

Alumni concernedThe possibility of restructuring

the east campus dormitories alsoconcerns alumni. "In immediatereaction, I don't like the idea, butI'm willing to look at the commit-tee's reasons and desires behind theplan to see what they're trying todo," said Michael J. Bauer '92, aSenior House alumnus.

"I suspect I still won't like it atthat point, but I'm willing to see ifthey want to put one or both feet intheir mouth," Bauer added.

"I believe that the long history

that both buildings have had asundergraduate dorms" should betaken into consideration when evalu-ating the plans, said Jack Leifer '87,a former East Campus resident andclass secretary for the class of 1987.

"Please consider the feelings andreactions of alumni when decidingthe future of East Campus andSenior House," Leifer said. Leifermade his comments in an open letterto Randolph.

"For a lot of alumni, one of thestrongest links to campus is theirdorm," said Tariq M. Shaukat '94,former president of East Campus."The great thing about East Campusand Senior House was the fact thatthey have their own individual per-sonality which is different" fromwest campus, Shaukat said.

Jeremy Hylton contributed to thereporting of this story.

Senior House "is one placewhere you can go where they leaveyou alone," said Brian C. Rider '95,one of the house chairs at SeniorHouse. "To some people, that isvery important."

"I imagine there would beprotesting" about the committee'swork and Randolph's statementabout next fall, Rider said.

"Everyone I've talked to thinksit's the stupidest idea they've everheard of," said East Campus resi-dent Katherine M. Klar '97. "If theywanted to live on west campus, theywould have chosen to live there."

"I think they should consult withstudents," Klar said. Residents areplanning on writing petitions to theadministration about the issue, shesaid.

UAP 'unhappy'"As UA president, I'm very

unhappy that the students in SeniorHouse and East Campus weren'tconsulted in this decision at all,"said Undergraduate AssociationPresident Vijay P. Sankaran '95.

"Since the situation directlyaffects them it's very important toget their input into the plan,"Sankaran said.

"I would hope that the studentsfrom the east side of campus wereinvolved from the initial stages" ofthe discussion, Sankaran said. "Itseems that people were kept in thedark about this."

Sankaran said he "had beengiven inklings that moving peoplearound and renovating SeniorHouse was a possibility." However,these were long-term plans over thenext 10 to 20 years, not on theshort time scale indicated by theplanning committee's work, hesaid.

The planning committee's workwill be discussed at Wednesdaynight's UA Council meeting,Sankaran said.

The UA will discuss both theadministration's way of handling^e TSintteal restructu.ri.r. and a-lso the

merits of the plan, Sankaran said."I'd like to see the full plan" of

Hillel, from Page 1 guage, dance, and music, Rosen-blum said. Hillel and the chaplainsprovide support to students and fac-ulty, whatever their level of obser-vance, she said. Some people justneed a place to celebrate the HighHoly Days, for example.

The role of Hillel is to "providea sense of home away from homeand enrich the lives of generationsto come," Vest said in his speech.

Although the space for the HillelCenter was provided by the Insti-tute, the furniture and architecturaldesign were funded by Hillel. Theyare still in the middle of a capitalcampaign, Rosenblum said.

"So many alumni are so commit-

offices.The building will be formally

dedicated in the spring, said SeniorAssociate Dean Robert M. Ran-dolph, who has been working withthe chaplains. Plans have not beenfinalized yet, he said.

we need a warm environment forour youths to pray together, learntogether, and socialize together,"said Normal Leventhal '38, chair-man of the MIT Hillel Board ofDirectors in his speech Sunday.

"I think it's perfectly reasonableas you are investigating alterna-tives" not to make the informationpublic, Smith said.

The source who spoke with acommittee member said that thecommittee member indicated thatthe current work of the committeeshould not be discussed with thegeneral undergraduate population.

Students and faculty should beinvolved in the decision makingprocess once the information gather-ing stage is complete, Randolphsaid. "You don't do anything on thiscampus unless you build a consen-sus," he said.

"I would be very surprised thatthe senior administration would

make any decision [regarding dor-mitory renovations or overall resi-dential restructuring] without a fulland open consultation with the fac-ulty and the students," said Profes-sor of Physics Robert L. Jaffe, chairof the faculty.

The administration will take theadvice of the faculty, students, andalumni when making a final deci-sion, Jaffe said. However, theadministration would have the finalsay in the ultimate decision, he said.

Following the Randolph com-mittee's report, a policy committeewould probably be formed whichwould look at the issues, Jaffe said.The policy committee could con-ceivably finish its work within thetime of one semester, he said.

campus, Randolph said. Ashdown isnot ideal for graduate housing butmay be better suited for undergradu-ate housing because its suite formatis similar to some undergraduatedormitories, he said.

"Ashdown is architecturally wellconfigured for undergraduate hous-ing," Smith said. "I thought it wouldbe an obvious place ... to houseundergraduates."

Problems with Senior HouseEvery fall, many students and

parents of students assigned toSenior House, which typically has alow popularity in the housing lot-tery, "react quite strongly aboutSenior House," Smith said.

However, it is unclear as to whatextent the complaints are the resultof the run-down building or the"Sport Death banner and otheraccoutrements of Senior House cul-ture," Smith said.

"Dormitory cultures are impor-tant and ought to be treated withcare," Randolph said. However, thecommittee also needs to consider"the whole totality of the communi- -ty" when formulating restructuringplans, he said.

The restructuring plans do nottypically account for the residentialculture "because cultures tend toshift and change," Randolph said.

"Student culture is fleeting and isdeveloped organically by each gen-eration as it comes along," Vestsaid. "It can't and shouldn't be dic-tated or designed. Hopefully one'sculture isn't determined solely bythe structure inhabited."

The committee is also reevaluat-ng the use of Walker Memorial,Randolph said. A possible new use,f the facility is a graduate andntermational student union, he said.

ee is concerned solely with gather-ng information about possible resi-lential restructuring options andvill not make any final decisions.;ome combination of the seniorAdministration officers will formu-ate final policies on the matter, heaid.

The committee is made up ofoperational people, not in generalhe policy makers, nor do theynclude the kind of representationhat one would look for in a policygroup," Smith said.

Robert M. Randolphis among the restructuring optionsbeing considered by the committee,Randolph said.

However, the committee's planscall for renovating both SeniorHouse and East Campus, accordingto the source who spoke with acommittee member.

"Senior House is in need of sub-stantial upgrading and should behigh on the priority list," said Presi-dent Charles M. Vest.

Smith pushed for discussion ofthe renovation because he did notwant to "wait around for anotherdecade before we did somethingabout Senior House," he said.

Renovation of Senior House has"been talked about for at least 20years in one way or another," Ran-dolph said. Anry renovations sug-gested by the committee would "notexclude it from housing undergradu-ates," he said.

Future housing should be able tobe "utilized in a variety of ways,"Randolph said.

terparts. While Jennifer Santos is plentystrong opposite Berger as Miss Adelaide, nei-ther is she particularly inspiring. Her thickNew York accent is wonderfully grating, butshe doesn't imbue excitement with her singingor her acting. Grace E. Colon G, on the otherhand, seems sadly inadequate oppositeGuzman as Sarah Brown. She doesn't seemable to find an appropriate motivation as asergeant in the Salvation Army. Also, herstaid, operatic singing voice is fine for heropening numbers, but it seems appropriatethat she should loosen it up a bit as her char-acter loosens up and falls in love with thelikes of Masterson. She makes a valiantattempt and is moderately successful inplaces, but her classical instincts prevail forthe most part, making her seem disagreeablyuptight.

The supporting male cast members do afine job with their chorus and dancing parts.Ethan L. Butler G as Nicely-Nicely Johnsonand Evan Serbrooke G as Big Jule are particu-larly outstanding. Butler has a delightfullystrong singing voice, and his aloof deliverycharms the audience. Serbrooke was simplyhilarious as the visiting high roller fromChicago. The smug and stupid expression onhis face matches his demeanor perfectly. Hismother may have been right if she told himthat funny faces can stick, because he doesn'tbreak his characteristic pursed lips during theperformance, even while dancing.

Like the acting, the production side ofthe show is of variable quality. The pitorchestra, under the direction of Jeffrey A.Morrow '96, is excellent, and (in sharp con-trast to some recent shows) is in wonderfulbalance with the singers. Other than a fewscattered intonation problems, they soundquite confident. The stage direction has sev-eral wonderful moments, such as using Pres-ident Charles M. Vest's voice as telephonecharacter Joey Biltmore, or the hilariousdream sequences for Miss Adelaide andSarah Brown, or the choreography for wait-ress Laura Allen W'96; but, there aren'tenough of these moments overall. Theshow's program really sticks out as a missedopportunity for some additional class: Itconsists of three loose folded sheets of badlyphotocopied text with writer/composerFrank Loesser's name misspelled on thefront cover. Producer Jacqueline Brener '96

would have done well to pay a bit moreattention to such details.

Still, the good moments that the show hasare worthwhile. The ensemble finally comes

W ith weak female leads and despitestrong male leads, the MIT Musi-cal Theater Guild presents a lack-luster production Guvs and Dolls,

the classic musical about bad men and thewomen who love them. The bad men comeout looking quite good, while the goodwomen give only mediocre showings. Thefirst three-quarters of the show plods alongtirelessly, though it does finally pick up steamby the end of the second act, giving a semi-satisfactory catharsis to the on-again, off-again performance.

John M. de Guzman '97 and Andrew J.Berger G steal the show as the low-life gam-blers to be reformed by their respectivewomen. Guzman as Sky Masterson is particu-larly impressive in all aspects of his perfor-mance. His gangster-esque mannerisms arefluent and perfectly executed (with a shrug ofhis shoulders and a flip of his hat), his singingis enthusiastic and vibrant as well as melodi-ous, and his dancing is more than adequate.He combines all three in his biggest number,"Luck Be a Lady," even throwing in someacrobatics for good measure. This is his showin which to shine, and he is up to the chal-lenge.

Berger does an equally fine job as NathanDetroit, the man who runs the craps game aseffectively as he runs away from commitment.His soapy New York accent is consistent andfunny, and his movement on the stage isalways beautifully unctuous. One feels sorryfor Masterson and Detroit as they reform atthe end of the show simply because they lookso good in their oversized, double-breastedgangster's suits.

The female leads sadly do not match theintensity and enthusiasm of their male coun-

BRENTANO STRING QUARTETMark Steinberg, violin; Serena Canin, violin;Misha Amory, viola; Michael Kanin, cello.Works by Debussy, Kurtag, and Mozart.Kresge Auditorium.Oct. 22, 8 p.m.

By Craig ChangSTA FF REPOR TER

he Brentano String Quartet is fortunateto possess brilliant technique and tightensemble. Those qualities are impor-tant only because the group is eccen-

tric to the point of scaring away the audience.Take its choice of program. The players

had the boldness to open with an austereaccount of Gyorgy Kurtag's String Quartet,Op. 28. This sort of music, through incompe-tent hands, tends to mistake itself for anextended tuning session. But the Brentano

players instead brought to the piece anabstract palette of nuance and color. In fact,they played the sometimes erratic, ambigu-ous, and erudite music with utmost confi-dence.

The ensemble approached Mozart's StringQuartet in D Major with this same boldness.Somehow, drama seeped from their interpreta-tion. Especially buoyant was first violinistMark Steinberg. Coupled with his insistenceon being the flower of the group, the crys-talline nuances of Mozart's writing, by theend of piece, emerged drenched in exaggera-tion and exuberance that just barely escapedeuphoric ridiculousness.

The final movement of the seemingly tamepiece took us on an altogether wild ride mostensembles wouldn't dare approach. And yetthe sheer joyful inventiveness of the BrentanoString Quartet's playing almost excused all

these moments of questionable audacity.The undeniable energy of the chamber

group was their greatest asset during theDebussy Quartet. Obsessive and imaginative,the piece deserves players with both explosiveenergy and tact. Saturday night, the BrentanoString Quartet satisfied only the former. Theybroke the silence of the intermission with pureverve - but at the cost of losing a firm gripon the first modal motto that reappears in vari-ous incarnations throughout the piece.

Expectedly, the players compensated dur-ing the second movement for any disappoint-ment with breakneck tempos, thankfully heldtogether by tight ensemble. They nearlybecame an Oriental gamelan as their pizzicatoimitated the striking of wooden and metalchimes. Only the most confident of playerscould have pulled this off.

The Brentano Quartet proved their brand

of eccentricity revolved around pushing musicto the edge. Despite their ferocious energy,occasional moments of poor judgmentderailed the music, as with the too liberal useof accelerando during the climax of the thirdmovement of the Debussy Quartet.

The night's performance seemed to revealthe Brentano String Quartet's major weakness(and maybe their only one) - fear to let themusic speak for itself. As eccentrics, theysteered clear of traditional interpretations, asfar away from triteness as possible. Suchyoung players as those of this ensembleexperiment with their musical individuality toa great extent, wringing the music for all itsworth.

Undoubtedly, this is a talented group to bereckoned with. Still young, it remains a stickof dynamite, dangerous and exhilarating.

THE ROAD TO WELLVILLEWritten and directed by Alan Parker.Starring Anthonyl Hopkins, Matthew Broder-ick, Bridget Fonda, John Cusack, and DanaCarvey .Loews Nickelodeon.

laughs soon wears off and there is not muchof a plot to carry the film once the humor getsold.

There are three different stories, with mini-mal connections to one another, followedthroughout the film. Will Lightbody (MatthewBroderick) is ill sohis wife Eleanor(Bridget Fonda)brings him to the Santo recover, and to solvetheir marital problems.Anthony Hopkins plays thespa's owner, Dr. Kellogg,who is plagued by the ll 9

untimely reappearance ofhis crazed, adopted sonGeorge (DanaCarvey).

And finally l 1there is CharlesOssining (John Cusack), a less-than-savvy businessman who has losthis aunt's money in a scheme tochallenge Mr. Kellogg with a Inew brand of corn flakes. Unfor-tunately, these plot lines are neither terribly

interesting nor well-developed.As the Lightbodys are assigned separate

rooms, the San initially facilitates their infi-delities rather than help strengthen their mar-

riage. Matthew Broderickmakf manages to make the best of

his role. Initially over-hilSSmE whelmed by the separa-

tion from his wife and theroutines ofthe San,

Bridget Fonda, on the other_gffiM hand, does not fare as well in

her portrayal of Eleanor. Eleanor departsfrom Dr. Kellogg's belief that sex drains the

body of vital fluids. As she begins to exploreher sexuality with Dr. Spitzvogel's therapeuticmassages, the character should be bold andshocking, but Fonda continues to play her asweak and helpless.

Anthony Hopkins' character is thestraight-man of the movie. Despite all thechaos surrounding him, Dr. Kellogg is almostas rigid as the butler that Hopkins played inRemains of the Day. It's not his fault that thischaracter does not steal the laughs in this film.Dana Carvey is humorous as Kellogg's down-and-out buffoon of a son George, but it is thescenes in which George as a young boy dis-obeys his father that are some of the film'sfunniest. John Cusack's character is also herefor comic relief; but, although his slapstickscenes gets a chuckle now and then, theyrarely get a guffaw.

Ultimately, the script for The Road tolellville is at fault. On the whole, the actorsdo the best they can with this material, butthere is not much to work with. Without agood plot or interesting characters, the prettylocation and the bathroom humor can't sup-port the film on their own.

he Road to Wellville is a film made foranyone whose sense of humor leanstowards the scatological. Set at DoctorJ.H. Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitari-

um (affectionately called "The San" by its res-idents), this film contains an endless supply offecal jokes. There are slogans such as "CleanBowels Make for Clean Thoughts" postedaround the main dining hall, and the prevalentroutine at this "Temple of Health" is an enemaa day.

The film starts off amusingly enough withlarge groups of unattractive people rompingaround the San in their bloomers performingridiculous exercises and singing cheerfulsongs about their health.

OLEANNAWritten and Directed bh' David MametStarring William Macry and Debra Eisenstadt.Loews Coplev Place.

By Teresa EsserST.4FF REP()ORTER

The film is meant to start out like a rela-tively typical interaction between teacher andstudent. Unfortunately, this relationshipdegenerates rather quickly. At some pointbetween the first and second scene Oleannajoins a politically correct group whichexplains to her that she has been sexuallyharassed. The group goes on to empowerOleanna to confront her professor with thisaccusation and eventuallyhelps her bring a list of her 'complaints to the professor's , " <tenure committee.

Needless to say, the profets-sor does not end up getting tenure. However, writer-direc-,,tor David Mamet is not content 'to let Oleanna rest with ruiningthe professor's chances of uni-versity advancement. By the third scene he has her crying rape.i

book from the required reading list. Themovie is a veritable horror film for collegeprofessors.

Oleanna's war on her professor gives herstrength and self-esteem, as well as statuswithin her group. But Mamet goes out of hisway to destroy any sympathetic connectionwith the viewer. Oleanna is a vengeful, nastycharacter who clearly enjoys turning the tables

on her tormentor, talking down to him andinterrupting him the way he once interruptedher. She has no reason to cry rape, and yet shedoes, because she can.

Clearly, Oleanna is a pawn in Mamet'sdramatic war against feminism. Fortunately,however, his film is too slanted and exaggerat-ed to be taken seriously. When Oleanna gloatsand makes her professor admit that he sees her

as little more than a weakwoman of "questionablesexuality." Mamet's homo-phobic paranoia is brought

' ~, to the forefront. By usingri g exaggerated charges, fancy

footwork and twisted lan-guage, it endeavors toreduce modern-day sexualharassment trials to the levelof the 17th-century witchhunt.

Unfortunately, Mamettakes the point too far. Hisattempt to elicit sympathyfor the perpetrators of sexualharassment fails because theprofessor is an unpleasantindividual. Althloughi someof the professor's philosoph-ical points are quite intcrcst-ing, his lecturing technique(and Maamet's writing style)is repetitive and annoying. Itis made clear front thebeginning of the film that heis interested in himself only,and in that regard he was nodifferent from Oleanna.

T his film begins quietly and slowly,with a male professor and a female stu-dent alone in the professor's officeafter hours. The student, Oleanna, has

come to ask for extra help and to inquireabout her grade. The professor agrees to giveher some extra tutoring and promises her an Afor her final grade if she will visit him in hisoffice a few more times. Oleanna protests,asking why a professor would even suggestsuch an arrangement. "Because ! like you,"the professor says.

Exactly \w\hai the professor likes aboutOicanna is left up to the viewer's imagination.She is neither attractive nor flirtatious, and herdrab, bulky clothing is more maudlin thanseductive. The only thing that Oleanna does inthe professor's office is listen to him ramble,interrupting him ever now and then to askquestions about his big vocabulary words.

This film is about the relationship betweenprofessor and student and their struggle forintellectual dominance. \Vhen the movie startsthe professor is in control because Oleannahas come to him for knowledge. Oleannalacks power and self-esteem: First, because

she cannot understand what the professor istalking about: and second. because she lacks a

constructive outlet for her fear and anger. Theone thing she can do is sit on the edge of herseat and scribble down as 1much as possible.

It's strange to observe howMamet manages to work arape charge into a film that isutterly devoid of action. It isclear to the viewer that the pro-fessor never raped Oleanna; hemerely hindered her rapiddeparture from his office. IHeput his arms on her shouldersand physically restrained her- that is all. Oleanna and hisreasoning for this moxe is trulyzany: The group hopes to con-tracting a plea bargain with theprofessor in which in which hewould agree to remove his own

meaningless or contrived.The album is unusually dynamic. The songs

steer clear of riff-bases, instead embracing moreintuitive developments. The music is anti-formu-laic, constantly venturing into new emotionalfields, and the instruments always seem to findthe most sublime and metaphorical counterpoint.

This interpretation of the music as "natur-al" seems to agree with Grant Lee Phillips:"These songs just up and walked out or thewoods. And I can't say whether they're veg-etable or mineral, 'cause when you bite intoone of these things, you might get a mouthfulof bones or a mouthful of notes."

While the music of Grant Lee Buffalo hasits individual, distinct style, it's still useful tostereotype: Mighty Joe Moon sounds like BobDylan covering R.E.M.'s Automatic For thePeople (in fact, one song on the album, "TheLast Days of Tecumseh" seems intentionallybased on Dylan's music for "The Times TheyAre a Changin' "). At times, as in "Lone StarSong," a distorted guitar riff seems to alludeto R.E.M.'s recent album, Monster. Incredibly(as Grant Lee Buffalo members are from LosAngeles), sometimes the music sounds south-ern, like country or bluegrass.

Overall, there is a certain relaxed aura tothe album, hinting at emotional turmoil ("I amcrumbling now / In an avalanche / I'm reach-ing for the rock of ages") but not withoutovertones of optimism or hints at hope. Thealbum, in my view, is no more depressingthan reality, which is as depressed as anyoneshould allow themselves to be.

Grant Lee Buffalo is appearing at the Par-adise Rock Club on Friday, Nov. 4.

THE ARTA

MIGHTY JOE MOONGrant Lee Buffalo.Slash/Warner Bros. Records.

By John JacobsSTAFF REPORTER

,G^ft rant Lee Buffalo's latest work, MightyJoe Moon, is, I think, the most "natur-al" album I've ever heard. Mighty Joegently questions our material and

inhuman ambitions, and attempts to enlightenus by illustration instead of coercion.

This is the kind of pop music that threatensto bring us all together by entreating us toremove the fences we selfishly build amongus. The lyrics and music seem to be aboutnothing less than religion at an individuallevel. Of course, this journalistic drivel ismuch harder to listen to than the perfectmelodies on the album.

Grant Lee Phillips' voice comfortablyexplores a wide range of pitches, slippinggracefully into expressive twists and turns. Asfor his lyrical approach, he seems to havebeen influenced by R.E.M.: He employs mur-muring (distortion of phonemes) and dynamic,rhyming variations on lyrical themes ("Wheredid my body go? / Marry my body, girl"), tokeep the listener attentive.

Also, it's clear that even Phillips doesn'talways know exactly what he's singing about.In trying to keep his lyrics open to other inter-pretations, he gets carried away by the otherextreme. Thus,' the lyrics, once understood,are too vague to "mean all things to all peo-ple." They risk, instead, meaning nothing toeverybody. But they certainly don't sound

ley players seemed to succumb to thepressure of time running out, as theirhits became increasingly erratic.

Babson slides by SmithBefore reaching the finals, Bab-

son faced Smith, last year's NEW-8champion, in a rematch of lastyear's final. Babson scored less thansix minutes into the game.

Until Babson scored again off ofa controversial penalty corner withabout six minutes remaining in thesecond period, Smith dominated thegame. Shots by the Smith offenseeither missed by only a few inchesor hit the post.

Late in the first half Smith playerLisa Cook almost scored in a break-away play, but collided into theBabson goalkeeper. In her collisionwith Jen Archambault, Cook was hitby Archambault's stick. Cook wentafter the goalie and hit her helmet.

The umpires quickly intervenedand gave Cook a yellow card. Cookwas sent out of the game until thereferees felt she was ready to playagain. Smith was forced to play oneplayer down for approximately 10minutes. Despite Smith's valiantefforts Babson prevailed 2-0 andmoved on to the finals.

x3were intense efforts to score by bothsides and neither team let up. Walk-er had an outstanding game in goal,coming up with a number of clutchsaves. Wendy Silverberg '96 did anexcellent job of shutting down Bab-son's leading scorer. The entire MITsquad did an incredible job in MIT'sdefensive end, allowing Babson totake only four shots at the MIT goal.

In the award ceremonies follow-ing the game Mangion and Sainiaccepted two plaques on behalf ofthe team. One plaque was given toMIT for winning the championshipwhile the other plaque listed all theteams that had ever won the NEW-8and the years in which they hadwon. MIT will keep this secondplaque until next year's tournament.

Coach Cheryl Silva was thrilledwith the results of the game anddescribed this year's team as thebest team she has ever coached.

The members of the 1994 NEW-8 Champion team are: forwardsOshiro, Daphne Karydas G, Saini,Juintow L.in '95, Ann Torres '96,Stephanie Maifert '98, Sohah lqbal'98, and Anshu Sinha '98; midfield-ers Hahn, Mangion, Kim Levis '98,Beverly Jones '97; halfbacks Silver-berg, Merrilees, Ellen Hwang '97;and goalkeeper Walker.

Final against BabsonPrior to the finals game between

MIT and Babson, the NEW-8 cham-pionship had been won once byWellesley, four times by WorcesterPolytechnic Institute, and twice bySmith. Neither Babson nor MIT hadever won the championship. Lastyear Babson had also been the No. 2seed and had lost to Smith in its firsttrip to the finals, while MIT hadnever reached the final round ofplay before.

At the beginning of the gameBabson seemed to be very tense andplayed tentatively. MIT quicklycapitalized upon Babson's errorsand scored what ultimately turnedout to be the winning goal only 6:13into the game.

On the first penalty comer Man-gion hit the ball out to Pattie Hahn'96. In a move that surprised theBabson defense Hahn drove the ballto the left side of the cage where itwas knocked in by Carla Oshiro '95.

Beavers take over in second halfMIT received the kickoff to

open the second half and ShawnStem '98 returned the ball 31 yardsto the Beaver 39. From there, MITmoved the ball to the UMass-Boston 5-yard line through the airon plays such as a 25-yard post pat-tern to Redman, an II -yard hitchpattern to David Estrada '98 ,andanother 15-yard post pattern toRedman. From the 5, Chris Brown'96 ran the ball in for the touch-down. An incomplete pass for thetwo point conversion left theBeavers with a 20-19 lead.

The resulting drive for the Bea-cons stalled, so they punted with theBeavers starting at their own 5. MITmoved the ball to the 40-yard linebefore Frank Fils-Aime intercepteda Sgouros pass and returned it 19yards to the Beaver 33. However, hesubsequently fumbled and MITrecovered.

MIT's resulting drive failed ondowns at the UMass-Boston 20.After a Mroz 3 yard gain, Morenoconnected on a fly pattern to JonLindskog for 77 yards for the finalBeacon touchdown with 1:20 left inthe quarter.

After the UMass-Poston touch-down, both teams traded punts.However, Scott Vollrath '96 had a62-yard punt while Moreno mus-tered only a 18-yard shank that gaveMIT the ball at the UMass-Boston32. After that, Chris Brown and JoseDeLeon traded runs until JoseDeLeon scored on a 16-yard leftsweep for the touchdown with 4:21to play. The failed kick left thescore 34-32, in favor of theBeavers. Despite the failed kick, theBeavers would never relinquish thelead.

On the second play of the result-ing Beacon drive, Mike Butville '98intercepted a Moreno pass at theUMass-Boston 25 with 4:03 left.Four plays later, with 2:25 still inthe game, Brown scored on a I-yardplunge for another MIT touchdown.The failed PAT left the Beaverswith a 40-32 lead.

The resulting drive for the Bea-cons failed and MIT took over ondowns with 1:09 left. As timeexpired, Vollrath scored on theoption to give MIT a final 48-32victory.

Passing makes differenceThe difference in the game was

passing yardage. While the rushingyardage was comparable, 265 to 249in favor of MIT, the Beavers had223 yards passing, as opposed toonly 106 for the Beacons.

Redman accounted for most ofthe receiving yardage with 178yards for the day on nine catches.Jose DeLeon had his secondstraight 100-yard game with 106yards total but did not have hisusual excellent cutback ability dueto ijUI-y.

Head coach Dwight Smith saidJose DeLeon's game was not asstrong because his back was bother-ing him. DeLeon "had a couple bigruns at the end that secured thingsbut he didn't have the big game thathe normally does."

Smith said he was pleased withthe passing game.

She poked the ball pastgoalie Laura Walker '97 for whatseemed to be a certain goal whenco-captain Catherine Mangion '95came from behind the Wellesleyplayer to save the ball,'and clear itto the 50-yard mark with a harddrive. This sparked the entire MITteam, which became relentless in itsefforts to score.

Despite having struggled earlierin the game with its offensive penal-ty corners, MIT's winning goalcame during a corner with 15 min-utes, 31 seconds remaining in thegame. Mangion started -the play bysending the ball to Katherine Mer-rilees '97 who pushed the ball acrossthe circle to co-captain Meera Saini'95, who was waiting. Saini drovethe ball into the right side of thecage past the Wellesley goalkeeper.

Wellesley, however, did not giveup and continued to put pressure onthe MIT defense. In the last two min-utes of the game Wellesley had fourconsecutive penalty comers in a row.Despite these opportunities, Welles-

The Lowell and Keene Statecompetitors soon fell behind, havingstarted at a pace that few couldmaintain. Burned by their own anx-iousness, many of them were passedby MIT's chase group of Josh Feld-man '97, Arnold Seto '96, and DanHelgesen '97.

The Engineers wisely ranpatiently in the first miie and werethus able to run a more even-pacedrace. Feldman finished sixth overallin 26:21, Seto was seventh in 26:32,and Helgesen was 10th in 26:54.Mark Feldmier '96 was rightbehind, coming in 16th place with atime of 27:19.

This was the last meet for themajority of the team, as only the topseven runners from each school areallowed to run in the New EnglandDivision III Championships nextSaturday. That meet serves as thequalifying meet for National Colle-giate Athletic Association DivisionIII Nationals, with the top twoteams and top six individuals fromNew England given bids to travel tonationals.

The men's cross country teamonce again demonstrated its abilityand patience, this time in the KeeneState College Invitational in Keene,N.H.

Running against two of the bestDivision 11I schools in the region, theUniversity of Massachusetts atLowell and Keene State, the Engi-neers won the meet handily by scor-ing only 23 points.

On Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23, MIT Army Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets competed in the annual Ranger Chal-

t lenge Shoot Out, held at Fort Devans, Mass. ; The cadets from MIT, Harvard University, Tufts University, and i

Wellesley College performed admirably in the grueling two-day corn- petition.

This year, MIT Army ROTC sent two teams of nine. Each teamcompeted in eight events: the Army Physical Fitness Test, M-16Marksmanship, Orienteering and Land Navigation, Weapons Assem-bly, the Grenade Assault Course, the One Rope Bridge, a PatrollingTst, and finally a 10 km Forced Road March in full combat gear. i

The two teams finished ninth and 17th out of 20. Last year, theirsole MIT Ranger Challenge team finished 13th. I

Team 1 performed exceptionally well in two events, earning iStreamers of Excellence for the Patrolling Test and Weapons Assem- bly. On the Patrolling Test, Team 1 had the third highest score of the iday. The Streamer for Weapons Assembly, was especially dear, since

: MIT had come in dead last the previous year. ; Team captain Gus Leotta '95 was especially "impressed with the team's involvement, dedication, and improvement from last year."

The younger team, Team 2, consisting mostly of freshmen and sophomores, overcame inexperience with their energy. Without a vet-eran from previous years, Team 2 still managed to come in ahead of three other schoo!s.

Teamn members from MIT included Leotta, Craig Abler '97, Mar-tin Duke '97, and James Hsieh '97. t

Both teams had been training hard since September. With the experience gained, next year should prove to be even better,|

"Each and every member was a winner due to the amount of time expended and effort put forth," said Army Officer Maj. Peter Sherrill. i
