Since Oct. 20, there has been arash of robberies and at-tempted robberies of lonepedestrians on the HarvardBridge in the early eveninghours - roughly between 6pmand 8pm. According to theCampus Patrol, the robberiesappear to be the work of oneman, age 18-21, heightbetween 5'10" and 6'0", whouses a knife or screwdriver as aweapon.-A Campus PoliceSpecial Bulletin suggests thatpeople not walk across thebridge during darkness hours,but instead either walk with afriend or take the Harvard-Dudley bus. Suspicious ac-tivity in-the bridge area shouldbe reported immediately to theMDC police at 523-1212.

A major non-academic groupwhich will be affected by therenovation is the Lecture SeriesCommittee, which usuallyreserves 10-250 for overflowshowings of popular movies.They have requested Room 54-100 for next term's overflowshowings and approval of that re-quest appears likely. "I see noreason why they can't have it atpresent," said Flynn, "but thatmay change." LSC plans to use aportable 35mm projector in theroom, which is not equipped for35mm film projection.

The institute has only threerooms large enough to house clas-ses with more than 250 students.Room 26-100, the largest hall atMIT, has a seating capacity of556. 10-250 can currently seat 526people, but the capacity willdecline to between 450 and 470after renovation work is com-plete. The third- largest-hall at theInstitute is McDermott Hall,Room 54-100, with a capacity foralmost 300 students.

There are several other lecturehalls in the buildings, but no

other hall can seat more than 205students, said Flynn. "It's not avery healthy situation," he com-mented, adding that "It would bemuch better if students were will-ing to go to classes at morehours." He indicated that, there issome difficulty in scheduling largeclasses early in the morning andlate in the afternoon.

Classes tentatively moved from10-250 to 26-100 for next term in-clude 6.011, 6.071, and one sec-tion of 18.03. 54-100 will house5.60, which would normally meetin 10-250 spring term, and a sec-tion of 18.03. These assignmentsare still tentative, and will remainuncertain until the class schedulesbooklet is distributed in mid-December.

By Thomas J. SpisakProduced entirely by MIT stu-

dents and facilities, Rurne - a newjournal of arts and letters -represents an ambitious effort. Itpresents a collection of significantworks In an Impressive variety ofmedia. Photography, drawings,short stories and an essay on FreeWill are all among its offerings.

Rurne's poetry is sensitivewithout being mnawkish, talentedaithout being arrogant. "GreySails," Guy' Nordensen's elegy tothe victil of a hang-gliding acci-dent, is incomparable. Nordensenavoids inflicting upon us an "oh,how horrid that you've died"piece imitative of A.E. Housman

while admitting us to a genuinegrief.

George W. Pratt's "We havebeen long" is a wrenching portraitof love's end that successfullywalks the line dividing that whichdemands sympathy from thatwhich is merely maudlin.

Stream of consciousness andWeltnnshag are among the mostoverused devices in modern fic-tion. David Feinberg uses bothably and convincingly in "Excerptfrom angela, joyce, peter, renata,Sylvia, and death." Feinbergdevelops both scenario andcharacters credibly. "Excerpts"should not be missed.

rnore Intriguing a3nd bizarredevelopments in sin intriguing andbizawrre election. Experts noxv silthata the only possible substantiveef fect the l\cCilrthy candidacy,Could have on the election wouldbe to swing the election to theRepublicans.

That is ain odd role for the manwho was the darling of liberals in1968. Standing in the snow inNew Hampshire that yearsdenouncing the incunzbent Presi-dent, LNyndon Baines Johnson,calling for an end to the war, Mc-Carthy reached his politicalzenith. He polled 42. percent of'the vote in the primnary there to 48for Johnson -and, although helost, the media reported the con-test as a dramatic victory for thechallenger.

Now, eight years later, Mc-Carthy could very well pull offenough Carter support to allowthe election of the most conser-vative president since Hoover, orperhaps McKinley. His campaignworkers ackowledge that, bar-ring a miracle, he cannot win asingle electoral vote. Who arethey'? What are their motives'?

First, they are liberals -former supporters of GeorgeMcGovern, back-ers i n , heprimaries of Birch Bayh or Mor-ris Udall. Second, they are anti-Carter- but also anti-Ford. Mc-.Carthyv himself said last week that''I think if I spoil the game the

tw o parties have been playing, itw ill be good for the country.''

Sorne are idealists, un-concerned about Nvinning, -butdedicaited to shos ing that thirdparty candidacies are viable andshould be made easier to conduct.Strme are protesters, disgustedwxith the state of Americanpolitics aind looking for a way toregister their beliefs.

McCarthy does not hope towsin. His candidacy is at best asvnmbolic one. fie is try ing to openup the American electoral systemto candidates outside, the two n~ia-jor parties. He has contested un-fair lection 'lawzes wherever h- 'hasfound them, armed only with

McCarthy's hopeless run forthe White H ouse is one of the

his least enthusiastic supporter,justifies this apparent ideologicalcontradiction by maintaining thatthere is no real difference betweenCarter and Ford. That argumentdoes not wash. It is not necessaryto recount the various differencesbetween the presidential con-tenders. for their positions onsuch issues as the economy andconservation are quite distinctand very wel-l delineated.

IMcCarthy has made-his point.He has sucessfully challengedmnany state laws wvhich dis-criminate against third party can-didates. He has shown that hecould be a legitimate contenderfor the president.

But he cannot win. He will notcarry one state. Even optimisticMcCarthy backers hope for onlyten per cent of the vrote i'n his beststates. Liberals for McCarthvmust examine what their votecould 'do -it will not elect theircandidate, but it may *give a nar-row victory to President Ford .

To the Editor:I got a letter from Chancellor

Graly Tuesday urging me to voteagainst flat electric rates (Ques-tion 7). Attached was an articlefrom Wednesday's Tech Talk- inwhich Gray details his reasons foropposing the change. Not too sur-prising: most large corporate con-sumers of electricity are opposingthe charge because it will costthem mnoney. M~y roommatebrought home XTuesday's TheTech, however, and I was sur-prised to see roughly the same ar-ticle on the front page. I didn'trealize Thle Tech had become sucha1 house organ; I would have ex-pected some att empt at balance,at ieast. Gray's conclusions aren'tev~-en analyzed for the sense thevmake by themselves.

The article opens with the bigscare: tuition wtill go up (you'llpay more), because MIT wtill haveto paly the same rate 'as everyoneelse for electricity. No one sug-aests a reason why M1IT should besubsidized by other Mqas-sachusetts users, however. Well,bult it's not reallv (I subsidv, ex-plaills Gray, we had to buyspecial equipment to use the bulkrate electricity. Of course, hedoesn't argue that the equipmentcosts e>. ' u p , .'i th e suflsidv if "he-did. MIT would have no reason

to use it. In the Tech Talk articleGray says the equipment wouldcost Cambridge Electric $800,000per year and unnamed other costswould make the total cost $i mil-lio~n if MIT ceased to be a bulkrate customer. Ignoring the factthat these- are hoarse estimates,these costs leave a net savings ofhalf a million dollars toCambridge Electric (out of M IT's$1.5 million increased coslts). HalfaI million seems like a significantsavina-s for the rest of us. Notetoo that, at least once change-over costs have been i ncurred,from the Chancellor's figures thenet cost to MIT will be SO.5 mil-lion, not S1.5 million,.

That this kind of corporatedoubletalk about this and theother referenda issues slips by un-challenged is appalling. (Yourfull-page bottle bill ad is anotherNvorider, but I guess you need themoney ) Gray argues that overallelectric bills will actually- go up,becaus'e the utilities' costs wvill riseafter assuming large user costs.M~ore than thne savings from in-cr eased larize user rates?

?The Mvassachusetts Fair Share electricrates proposal, Qu'estion 7 on Tuesday'sballot, would both lower electric rates forsmall electric users and encourage conser-vation of limited power resources.

The bill, which would force.'all stateutility companies to charge a uniform rateper Ikilowatt hour of electricity to all systemusers, eases, the economic burden onresidential, iomeowners imposed by? soar-ing electric costs. Passage of Question 7could save homeowners as much as S4 eachnionth.

Electric companies employ rates whichmake electricity cheaper as more is used,discriniinating against th-e small users.Homeowners and tenants now pay 60 to 70per cent more per kilowatt hour ofelectricity than the big. businesses do.

F~air Share rates would lowerhomeowner and tenant costs, while raisingfrom 20 to 40 per cent: the bills ofl busines-ses. who have contributed most to in-creased consumption of electricity.

While company officials are threateningto leave M/assachusetts if the proposal ispassed, estimates based on 1972 data in-dicate that electricity still represents nomore than two per cent of the: cost of

production. Thus increasing electric rateseven b) one-third should have a minor ef-fect on businesses' well-being.

And the rate hike would discouragecompani es from increasing their demandon the already severely-taked generatingfacilities in the state.

Fair Share electric rates will eliminatethe "hidden subsidy" to big business, ahighly regiiessive tax on small consumers. Itis also an intelligent step to take toward anenergy policy that recognizes the need toconserve the rapidly depleting resources,that still remain.

It is vita~lly important for the voters ofMiassachusetts to pass Question 5 - whichbans all handguns except those used in lawenforcement - in order to save hundre&Sof lives per year in the Commonwealth.

According to "'People vs. Handguns",more murders are committed withhandguns than with any other weapon.These firearms are easy to use, readilyavailable, and quite deadly.

Most murders are committed in the heatof passion; fully 72%0 of handgun deathstook place among friends or relatives. A

argument that registered handguns are notused in murders is false: many such gunsare stolen each year and end up being usedas murder weapons.

Even pistol clubs should not be ex-emp~ted from the ban. It' the only~ institu-tions which were allowed to own handgunssw~ere law-enfo>rcenient agencies and p~istolclubs, the. latter would be far niore hkelvl tobe burglarized by crinlinals in- searcl c offirearnis. This is a risk not worth taking.

All1 gun own:~ers would have· six monthsto turn their weapons in to the state. Landw3ould receive comnpensation. A10101.1gh

this Would result in substantial cost. thenioney would be clearl)· ·ell spent.

Larst yerir, there were over 120 miurdersin which Li handgun was the weapon. Atleast that m~anv lives would be served peryear in the t'uture if Question 5 is aipprov-ed.

The proposed handguin ban will notbring with it the magic solutions propon-ents of the bill have predicted. The facts donot support such clairns.

One such prediction is that a handg~inban will practically elimninate inurders com--nmitted with Handguns. Yet only three ofthe 609 murders in Boston frorn 197 1 to1975 were committed by persons legallycarrying a handgun.

It cannot be assumed that those peoplealready illegally possessing a handgun willturn theirs in when the penalty has. notbeen made more severe. Only the lawful,owners would turn in their guns.

The implementation of uniform electricrates may save residential consumersInoney for a short while. but will almostcertainly turn irnto an added cost foreveryone in the long run.

Lower electric rates charged to busines-.ses and institutions are not based solely onthe amount of electricity consumed. Inmany cases,' these customers supply theirown equipment to use the power suppliedby the utility. If this cost was a'ssumed by&h electric company, all users would haveto absorb the added cost.

Corporations and other large institu-tions have a better record of energy conser-vation than the averaae residential con-surner. While consumption rates have onlydeciined by four per cent am~onghomeowners and tenants, -businesses have,in niost cases. effected energy savings ofover 20 per cent, and it- is unreasonable toexpect that a simnilar conservation effortcould be made again, regardless of rate

Emuna-l rol'"htS f WIThre voters of Massachusetts will be

P~iven a chance next week to once againlead the US in the support of justice byvoting "yes" on Question I on the electionballot: the state Equal Rights Amendment(ERAa).

The ratification of this amendmnent isnecessary to guarantee continued equalityunder the law for women and minorities inMIassachusetts. Existing statutesprohibiting acts of discrimination can easi-ly be reversed or repealed so that therecently won justice can be lost at almostany time. Furth-ermore these statutes alongwith an anti-discrimination interpretationof the 14th1 to the U.S. Constitution have-

In addition" uniform rateswould mean that large consumers wouldhave no incentive to provide their ownequipmnent, .or to accept power at a highervoltage level than the small consumer, asmanv do now.

Economnists forecast that anywhere from4,000 to 4 1,000 jobs would be lost in M as-sachusetts over the next few years if Ques-tion 7 passes, primarily, from the large in-crease in operating costs that companie'swould have to absorb.

been unsuccessful in ensuring legal equftiitvrfor women.

The aniendment will protect the right ofan individual to earn equal pay for equalwork regardless of his or her "sex, race,color, creed, or national origin."' It sup-ports equal opportunity in h-iring and non-discrimination in credit.

Both men and women need the, equalprotection of the ERA in property rights.With the passage of the ERA, divorce,child custody, inheritance, and sex offenselaws will be changed to provide equally forboth men and women. Maternity benefitswill be unaffected by its passage as will ex-isting laws concerning abortion whilewidows' benefits will be extended towidowers. Thus the ERAh will have apositive effect on the lives of men as well aswomen.

The issues being brought up by thosewho oppose ERA are, in actuality, false.Under existing, laws and customs theamendment cannot and therefore will notmean unisex bathrooms, a change in theeligibility of women for the draft, or any,change in ·alimony~ laws.

M~iore than two billion beer atnd softdrink containers are used annuallv bv resi-dents of Massachusetts, of w·~hich orilkabout 80O million are recycled. The rernam--ing 961"'o of these items lire discarded.

Sonie of this waste winds up in garbagedumps, the remainder takes its place withother Forms of litter along highway·s, illparks, and atnywhere else users of theseconiIl'enience' containers find it c~onilcnientr toleave their trash.

Opponents of the bill argue Lhat a nian-dator-y deposit will unfairly penalize thosewhoo do not contribute to the litterprobleni, while it would do nothing aboutenforcing anti-littering ordinances. In faict,this is not true, for while it is difficult to en-force a $50 fine for littering,( it will be im-possi -be for a person to avoid losing moneyif he fails to return the bottles on which hehas paid a deposit.

Others might object by saying that con-

sum~ers are being unfa~irly burdened by~ thenecessityi\ of making n thata "ex tra trip" tori t hem~arket to return em~pties. This is also un-true. A buver of soft-drinks need oniv: take·his bottles xvith him on the reoular w·eekivsihopping trip. T~hat way1!, the deposit return?(11 la~st w~eek's sodas Nviil pa~y the deposit onthis w~eek's beverage supply. The systeml isPa~inless.

T~he passing, of' such a bill W·ill Uin-diOubtedlv ca~use some chances in theheveraue container industry. Some Jjobsw~ill be lost and prices 11-ay go LIP slightly inthe ne~,r future, but in the Ion-. run, such a~bill, can onlN, benefit socletv. It too~k tooiolig for people to realize that \vaistmac tlieirnaturall resources could harm the environ-1men t.

There is no reason to invite a disastroussituation by ignoring the '100,000 tons ol`\vlaste in tlhe form-r of beverage contatinerseach year~ in this state.

If the Massachusetts Bottle Bill (Ques-tion 6 on the Nov. 2 referendum) is allowedto pass, the result could be very expensivefor everyone in the state.

The bill is an attempt to reduce the litter-ing o f glass and metal contaiiners by im pos-ing a mandatory deposit of (it least 5c oneach bottle or can of beer, soft drinks, orartificial fruit drink sold in Massarchusetts.

Ratification of' t17e Mnassachusetts EqualRights Amendment would result in no ad-ditional rights for wovonen and would in factta~ke avvav riahts which they currently: have.As5 the law currently stands, women areprotected against discrimination, and areallowed certain benefits which men cannotre~ceive.

For example, men, but not women, canpresentllv be sued for criminal non-support.

There is no reason at all for women tosupport the: Fz~d- fin; ediera! sta~tutesprotect the working woman, and guarantee

Furthermore, ERA would eliminate the"constitutional preference"' presently ac-corded to women. Under this system. lawswhich harm women are declared uncon-stitutional, while those which help womenand hurt 177en are allowed to remain info rce.

Graham's campaign managerPam Thomure said that Grahamwill appeal the ruling to an Ap-peals Court judge this morning.

The Middlesex Superior Courtissued the order Wednesday,reversing the Cambridge ElectionCommission's decisions to placeEast Campus and LeverettTowers, a Harvard dormitory, inthe Fourth District.

Thomure said that the rulingmeaint that Graham vas "startingout in the election down 120votes" due to the loss of voters inEast Campus and Leverett.

Toomey, however, said that theruling was the "right decision,"adding that "I don't know how[the ruling] will affect the elec-tion."

Toomev said that the matterwas "ad q uestion of politics," andthat the Graham supporters were'' using students for their own pur-poses- I hope students realizethis.'*

Ben Ross, heaid of voterregistration f'or Graham, hasstated that he would expect mostLleast Canllpus residents to supportGrahazm if they vote in her dis-trict.

Superior Court Judge HenryLeen refused to change his deci-sion on Thursday, after Graham'sattorneys intervened on the sideof the Election Commission.

Tax Reform. Saundra Graham's opponent voted againsteasing the ordinary taxpayer's burden by substituting aprogressive, graduated income tax for the present system.The Democratic Party supports the graduated income tax.

Saundra Graham would have voted for the graduated tax.She believes it's time this state had a more equitable taxsystem.

Public Financing of Campaigns. The incumbent votedagainst a proposal to prevent Watergate-style scandals bypaying for political campaigns out of public funds. TheDemocratic Party advocates public financing.

Saundra Graham also supports public financing. Shewants to get big money out of politics.

Decriminalization of Marijuana. Saundra Graham's opponentvoted to retain the maximum criminal penalties for posses-sion of marijuana. The Democrats are in favor of reducingthese penalties.

Saundra Graham thinks the penalties should be reduced,so that police and judges have more time for seriousoffenders.

Money for Mass Transit. The incumbent voted against usingthe gasoline tax for mass transit. The Democratic Partysupports using these funds for mass transit. and not justhighways.

Saundra Graham would have voted to use the funds.Because she believes that. with more buses and subways.this city would be a better place to live.

Handgun Control. Time after time. the incumbent has votedagainst controls on Saturday Night Specials and otherhandguns. Even though the Democratic Party supportscontrols.

Saundra Graham believes all privately-owned handgunsshould be banned, because a handgun is an invitation tocommit a crime.

Saundra Graham has been a Democrat all her life. But she'srunning for State Representative as an Independent because

low voter turnout in the primaries helps protect incumbents.Of course, when you see the way Saundra Graham's

opponent votes, it just goes to show you can't judge acandidate by the label.
