By Glenn BrownsteinA revision of this fall's final ex-

amnination schedule that willdliminate tests the day after clas-ses end was passed unanimouslyby the faculty Wednesday.

According to the adoptedschedule change, proposed byaStudent Committee on Edu-cational Policy (SCEP) ad hocfaculty-student group, there willno longer be exams on Friday,Dec. 17, the day after classes with

ned Friday-a fter-claasses-en dexarn schedule with morning andafternoon exam periods the fol-lowing Thursday, M y 26.

According to SCEP ChairmanLouis Touton '77, the proposalsubmitted to the faculty wasprimarily the result of responsesto a questionnaire distributed inliving groups by the committeelast month, in which studentswere asked to rate examinationschedule preferences.

Of 1,013 replies received by thead hoc- group thus far, 434 votedfor the eventually adopted plan,263 chose a six-period, three-dayschedule with conflicts resolvedon the previous Friday, and 254wanted to retain the originalschedule, which called for twoexam periods on the 17th, 20th,21st, and 22nd.

Although Touton explainedthat although the commllittee,made its recommendation largelybased on the statistical evidence,he added that the group Soughtadvice from other faculty Wnd stU-dentsf and that the total of thisevidence indicated "reatsonalblkstrong, support" !or the proposalrlially adopted.

Beck and Hammer trade ideaswith a speed that would leavemost accompanists scrambling tokeep pace. Steven Kindler, TonySmith and Pharoah Saunders onviolin, drum and bass, respec-tively, proved themselves equal tothe challenge.

Beck's last two albums ap-peared to stretch his artistic hori-zons to the limits of creative inno-vation. His version of "She's aWon-.an" from the Blow by Bloialbum destroyed that suspicion,and the live album recorded onOctober 10 should be truly atreasure. Its release date is as yetuncertain, but if it accuratelyreflects the power of theBeck/Haimmer collaboration itwill be worth the wait.

By Glauco RuesgaMIT's Shakespeare Ensemble

inaugurated its season Wed-nesday night with a two-hourpresentation of "The Taming ofThe Shrew."

"The Taming of The Shrew,"which some consider to be Shake-speare's earliest comedy, is anadaptation of an older play by anunknown author published in1594. The original and the adap-tation are similar, but the styleand the diction are drastically dif-ferent in the latter version. Thesource of the plotline may also befound in an Elizabethan poem,"A Merry Geste of a Shrewd andCurst Wife" (circa 1575).Evidence suggests that Shake-speare wrote his play around1597.

The play opens near the homeof the rich merchant Baptista inPadua, a university town about 25miles from the Port of Venice.Baptista has two unweddaughters: Bianca, a sweetlovable girl of worthy character,and Katherine, an ill-temperedvolatile shrew who is given to rail-ing and complaining.- Bianca hasmany suitors but Baptista refusesall petitions for her marriage untilKatherine, the elder sister, is her-self married.

Lucentio, a young gentleman ofPisa, poses as the schoolmasterCambio, hoping to gain Bianca'sfavor. Hortensio, a gentleman ofPadua, poses as the musicianLicio hoping to do the same. ButKatherine remains unwed. But,fear not, for Petruchio, an adven-turer from Verona, takes on thelofty task of taming the difficult

shrew. The play ends in typicalShakespearean pageantry, withthe triple marriage of Lucentio tothe lovely Bianca, Petruchio tothe now-tame Katherine, andHortensio to a wealthy widow oflong acquaintance.

Although the play as a wholewas presented well by the Shake-speare Ensemble, the openingnight performance was not a tech-nical masterpiece. The stage wasdesigned and constructed to af-ford maximum visibility for theaudience, but the view from theback row was still somewhatobstructed. The lack of technicalmerit, however, at times workedin favor of the company, as whenthe comic effect of the playbecame greatly pronounced when

a beard was inadvertently dis-lodged from one startled char-acter's face. Such mistakes are notoften repeated. In general. theensemble should be congrat-ulalted lor a skillful and artisticperfornmance.

Exceptionally fine performan-ces were turned in by MitchellRothstein '77 as Tranio, JimWalker '78 as Baptista, AlexeyOrlovsky '77 as Petruchio andDorian Jankowski '80 as the

widow.

And there are tens of millionsol' Americans who will not vote-because. to quote a poll by PeterHart, "Candidates say one thingand do another," or because "Itdoesn't make any diftierence whois elected because things neverseem to work out right."

The choice in 1976 is a clearone: the Republicans and theDemocrats differ markedly inbtasic philosophy of' government.

nonexistent. Jimmy Carter spentfour hours here, Lind PresidentFord hits -'et to make Lin appear-ance. Apathy is rampant: therehas been more interest generatedby the nine referenda on the Stateballot than by the race for theWhite House.

One of the reasons for the lackof interest in Massachusetts isthat the Ford-Carter race here isreally, aL foregone conclusion. Thestate that voted for McGovern in1972 can not be reasonably ex-pected to provide ai Republicanvictory this year, notwith-standing busing and abortion.Ford has all but conceded the BayState to his rival, and Carter hasallocated only about $90,000 tobe spent here.

But the apathy question is notaIs shallow as that. Electoralspecialists, including professorWalter Dean Burnham of thePoiitical Science department here,have predicted that the nationalturnout will be under fifty percent. That would be an alarm-ingly small percentage. It is not anoverestimation of the case to in-sist that, when half of the poten-tial electorate refuses to parti-cipate in government, there is aserious legitimacy crisis.

The crisis goes beyondcynicism, beyond the frustrationof the American people, beyondVietnam, Cambodia, WatergateaLnd the Nixon pardon. The crisiswas here long before Wavyne Haysand Elizabeth Ray, before EarlButz, before Hal-deman,Ehrlichmian, Mitchell and Dean.

A corollary to the crisis, orperhaps ai contributory factor, hasbeen the decline of the partysystem in recent years. "Ticket-splitting," previously the excep-tion, has become the rule.

ViOdence in the stadium:the sports fan as fanatic

By Glenn BrownsteinIt's an unfortunate fact of life that violence at sports events is becom-

ing as American as apple pie. We've all heard stories -about how twoLatin American countries fought a two-year war over the disputed out-_

come of an international soccer game, or of the Brazilian soccer officialwho is decapitated after an unpopular call. But it is clear from the

events of the past few years that the crowds at America sporting events

are not much better behaved, if at 411.Whitt happened Monday night at Foxboro during the Jets-Patriots

football game was yet another example of how ugly certain elements of

a stadium audience can become when they are not being suitably enter-tained. It was not a referee's controversial call that caused the alarmingstatistics to come out of Schaefer Stadium that evening (two dead of

heart aittacks, 30-plus injuries, 37 arrests- 1 3 for running onto the fieldduring the game). In ftact, it was the combination Of a number of factorsthat caused Monday's trouble.

Indeed, many fans had prepared for the 9pm start and the near-freezing temperatures with a pre-game drink or two. That problem,nmagnified by national television coverage and Li game that "as decided

by the middle of the second quarter, probably contributed most to the

t ra gedy.Although local TV football fans missed the on-field and off-field ac-

tion (the game was blacked out in Boston due to insufficient ticketsales). the sort of behavior demonstrated Monday night is hardly un-

familiar to Bostonians.For example, at fan attacked basketball referee Rickie Powers near

the end of the fifth Celtics-Phoenix playoff game when Powers decidedthat the Suns deserved one second of playing time at the end of the con-

test's second overtime (john Haviicek had apparently won the game for

Boston just moments before). Fenway center field bleacherites pelted

Yankee centerfielder Mickey Rivers with bottles and other objects after

he had allegedly injured Sox pitcher Bill Lee during a free-for-all duringal previous inning.

Not to be unfair to Boston sports fans,IX D"o7"'""X 'x~ :.~ I most of' whom -would not dream of somie

{/ v .~.)',~ " [ of the repulsive and dangeroLIs displas s' - their comrades have put on in recent

years, this sort of behavior has takenplace throughout the country.

Met fans tossed bottles at Cincinnati'sPete Rose after the Reds' star got into a fight with New York short-

stop Bud Harrelson. A National Football LeaLgue official was injuredduring ai game in Minnesota when a fan's thrown bottle conked him on

the head. The Texas Rangers baseball team was lucky to leave Cleve-

land's Municipal Stadium alive one evening after ai five-cent "beernight" at the ballpark°

Penalties for fans caught attempting to injure or intimidate ball-

players or other fans are virtually nonexistent. Usually, the unrulypatron is simply Qjected from the stadium, or brought down to the

police station and released the next day.Realizing that it was providing free coverage for publicity-seekers.

New York's Channel 9 refused to show, fans that would occasionally

disrupt Li Mets baseball game- a policy that most stations nowV follow.

Up in the Bronx, though, it's clear that the management still does notknots any better. The instant replay screen at Yankee Stadium, in addi-

tion to showing exciting catches and hits, also portrays all contro-versial plays that result in a decision against the Yankees. Ifthat wvasn'tbush enough, the offending umpire's name is flashed on the board

again and again until a crescendo of boos rise from the stadium grand-stand.

Yankee owner George Steinbrenner's utter lack of class notwith-

standing, something has got to be done about stadium violence soon,

or those stories of South American and European sports violence will

pale before the incidents at home. Unfortunately, I think that it'll

probably take a player or official death or two before any kind of

-clean-up" job begins.The real sports fans- the folks who support their team win or lose

aind accept defeat as gracefully as victory are being forced to stay

home out of fear for the rowdies who threaten to take over the balI-

parks and arenas, which is a damn shame. Yet unless there is some kindof chance in the degree to which sports' "winning is the onlything" ethic is emphasized in this country, I fear the worst is yet to

of attempting to solve them in theprivate sector. "Laissez-faire" isno longer a -viable economicphilosophy.

Perhaps we ask too much of.overnment. The candidates forthe Presidency are incapable ofdelivering by themselves what theAmerican people want. Bothconservatives and liberals desirepeace and prosperity- they differonly ina the rneans they wish toemploy to reach those ends.

If the trend towards lower turn-out continues past this election,we will be forced to critically re-

examine the institutions and menthat make up our government.Fundamental changes might wellbe required to keep the politicalsystem in step with the times.

In the excitement of electionnight, it would be best to lookbeyond the results, to the lin-gering questions about Americawhich will persist no matter whowins. Those nonvoters are tryingto tell us something; they are say-ing that something is wrong, thatchange is needed.

A series of petty larcenies hasbeen reported of late fi-om theDuPont Athletic Center (onereport of a larceny from a locker,two of clothing stolen duringvolleyball -ames) and from theStudent Center (especially in the"games roorm' area).

Residents Provide Clues

In two separate incidentswithin the last week, the obser-vations of stalf members and resi-dents provided the Campus Policewith solid clues in auto-relatedcrimes. In the first case, staffmembers observed from their of-fice windows two men prowlingthe Albany Garage. Though themen fled before Officers arrived,descriptions provided by the wit-nesses are assisting officers inidentifying the pair who are sus-pected in the larceny of a CBradio discovered a short timelater.

By Tom CurtisThe members of womens' var-

sity volleybal team continued tobump, set, and spike their waytowalrds an undefeated seasonTuesda;y, as they dominated awood team from Wellesley 15-1, 7-15, 15-1. Good team play byregulars Lisa Albright '78, KarynAltman '78, Sue Coppersmith '78,Lisa Jablonski '77, Sheila Luster'78, and Kathy Mensler '77 wasthe key ftactor in MIT's twelfthstraight win. With spiker Lusterleading the offense, MIT had abreather in the first game as acoordinated effort by theEngineers capitalized on Wel-lesley mistakes to produce an easyWilln. In the second garme, Wel-lesley took an early 5-1 lead. MITrecovered briefly, closing the gapto 8-7. However, the Engineersthen lost their poise - and the

ngame - as Wellesley reeled offseven straight points to becomeonli the second team to defeatMIT in a game this season.

I n the third game, theEnineers regained their con-fidenee and denmonstrated top

form by picking apart the We!-lesley defense with great serves,awesome spikes, and beautifulblocks. The rejuvenated M ITteamwork was too much for Wel-lesley as the Engineers easily wonthe game and the match.

The JV match followed a nearlyidentical pattern as the teamoverwhelmed Wellesley in thefirst gamrne 15-1, slumped to a 14-16 loss in the second, and cameback with a convincing 15-5 vic-tory in the final game.

The Engineers continue theirquest for a perfect season with amatch Tuesday against Wheaton,followed by the Metropolitantournament at Eastern NazareneCollege on Oct. 30, and two homematches Nov. 2 against HolyCross and Southeastern Mas-sachusetts. On Saturday Nov. 6,the team will receive its toughesttest of the season as it competes inthe U RI tournament against thefinest teanms in New England.First place here would almost cer-tainly guarantee the Engineers Liberth in the national chamn-pionships.

The MIT Auto Club Scirocco. #53, ran at the front in the Car and Driver Challenge.

for the prize money.This year the M IT team was

running a Volkswagen Sciroccosponsored by Volkswagen ofBrookline, and the team had greatdepth with driver Joel Bradleyand team members Gordon Haff'79, Carl Hayssen G, BobHumphrey '77, and David Schal-ler '78. As the practice session onFriday unfolded, it became clearthat the car to beat would be theSaab 99. With horsepower nearlyhalf again as much as the average,and a price tag to match, the Saabhad a speed advantage which therest of the Field found hard tomake up. The race was not clearlygoing to go to the Saab, however,since it was unclear whether thetires on the Saabs would last forthe whole race.

Qualifying on the pole wasSaab's factory driver Stig Blum-quist from Sweden, and second

was Car and Driver editor PatBedard, also in a Saab. WillieRodriguez and Car and Driver'sDon Sherman in Audi Foxes, JonMcKnight (VW Rabbit), JoelBradley, Paul Hacker (Scirocco),and Don Knowles (Opel) madeup the rest of the first four rowsfor the finale.

At the start: the two Saabs tookoff, with Sherman, Rodriguez,McKnight, and Bradley in pur-suit. After two laps the MIT entryhad worked up to fifth behind thetwo Saabs and two Foxes. Whilethe Saabs battled for the lead,Bradley slowly worked towardthe front. He first got byRodriguez, and then whenSherman made a daring attemptto pass at the end of the straightand caused a four-car pile-up,Bradley moved the MIT Sciroccointo third, where he remained tothe finish.

In the Staake Trophy, MITfinished with a 9-2 record, secondonly to Harvard's 10-1 and aheadof eleven schools, including TuftsaLnd URI. The Engineer team wascolmposed of Steve Ryan '77 withcrew Sue Verba '80, Bruce Gage'79 with crew Rod Wheatley '79,Chris Berg '77 with crew MartinPrince '80, and Bill Critch '77with crew Sally Huested '78.

split two games with Amherst lastSaturday, losing 25-6 in the A-game but winning 23-6 in the B-game.

Amherst scored first in the A-match with a goal, but JohnKavazallijian '72 racked Iup threepoints for the Engineers only mo-nients later with a penalty goal.Amherst answered with a goal,and Kavazanjian contributedanother penalty goal to make thehalftime score 12-6.

1MIT backs were hampered by anarrow field, and the forwardsscrummaged inconsistently in thefirst half, winning less than theirshare of the rucks and losingground in the serums. Bad luckarrived when Drew Jaglom G, theserum half, had to leave the fieldwith a shoulder injury.

Amherst did not let up its at-

tack in the second half, adding atry, a goal, and a penalty goal forthe remainder of its 25 points.

In the B-game, Amherstjumped to an early lead with agoal, but Ralph Grismala '77chalked up a try to keep the gameclose, with the score 6-4 at half-time. The Engineer pack playedas a unit, pushing Amherst off theball in serums in both halves ofthe game. In the second half, propSteve Loftus tallied a try, forcinghimself over the line throughseveral Amherst defenders.

Serum half John Kenny '79 wasthe real star of the game, con-verting a try by Greg Coutts '77,booting a penalty goal, and kick-ing the ball through the Amherstdefense to score a try which hethen converted. Kenny effectivelyused the MIT pack by kicking up-and-unders from lines-outthroughout the game.
