0 ,although there have been, 'moldest surpluses" for the past

C:c two yearsi, there would be no such'D luck this year. This, he explained,

is mainly due to the energyDcrunch.1 M IT is a1 "fiscally conservative

Xinstitution," according to Currie,especi;ally when compared withsomie of' the other I vy League

-schools, and is a well-run finan-ssial c~orporatioln.

By David C. LingelbachThe School of Engineering, the

largest school at MIT, isoperating "very close to themargin," according to RobertSealmans, dean of the-school. "Itis becoming harder and harder tomeet the budget," he added. Thereason for this has been that en-dowments haven't been coming atthe same rate as they used to, andthat the engineerinlg school"hasn't been very successful atraising money.''

Seamans couldn't explain why{ unds weren't bei ng raised,however, since the engineeringschool has very loyal alumni witha "remarkable capability for rais-ing funds," and because he feltthe funding process was basicallya good one. Seamans added, "theengineering school was not get-ting zI proper share" of the fundsof the $220 millionl fundraisingcampaign.

In the future, Seamans predictsexpansion at both the un-dergraldualte and graduate levels,as well as possibly new enlgineer-ing buildings and redistributionof the Course 6 program. TheDean did not, however, predictwhen.-this expansion could takeplace.

Dean of the' Sloan School oflManagement, William Pounds,says that his school's financialsituation is "roughly similar"' to

finest programns in the nation. inpolitical science, economics, psy-hchology, philosophy, and music,he added.

According to Hanham, themain problem in -his schoWl hasbee~n the dceplorable facilities withwhich the students have had towoi k. fie indicated that newf~acilities were needed for music(especially with the closing ofKresge), psychology, politicalscience and economics, thehumanities -librarv, andphilosophy.

Ha~nham staid his school's badfinancial1 position in mainly dueto the fact that his school receiveslittle or- no research funds, ascompared to the science andengineering schools, where 25-30",''S, Of their funds come from

that of M IT. "The Sloan school islooking to operate at a deficit"Ior this year and good financialnews is definitely not anticipated.

"We can always use moresnonev,"* said Robert Alberty,Dealn of the School of Science. Hereiterated the fact that his schoolneeds buildings very badly andthat ail of his departments needmore space.

Dean of the School ofHu~manities and Social Sciences,Harold Hanharns is faced withspeciall-financial problems of hisown. He explained that his schoolis the "worst hit" Financially of allthe schools. Hanham said that theschool is struggling to ensure thatgraduates get the best places when,they grad uate from M IT. I n spiteof all that,-MIT had some of the

A four step procedure for analyzing and repairing Kresge Auditorium has been designed, according to William Dickson, Direc-ltor of Physical Plant.I

The four st eps are:lM1 ) installation of monitoring points so the engineers call check the daily | 1movement of the roof shell;2) the placemnert of support posts for the edge beams; 3) the removal of the lead coating;

The first step was comnpleted~ this week and the first set of com-parative readings were supposed to have been available yesterday. |ArDickson said he did- not expect these readings to show an'y major move- inent. However, Dickson said, '*There will be movement when e imaterials are removed from the surface." .. ;I d I

The installation of the support posts should begin the first part of inext week. Dickson says he expects it will take "every bit of a couple of 1 weeks to put that [the supports] in place."' .|

Six months after the building.was compiletd, the dome's con-crete outer cap and outer coatingbegan to crack. A new plasticcoating proved to be ineffective.

The stra-in of rush:n it be ease

Residence/Orientation week is only four weeks behind us, and formost freshmen, it is fast becoming a memory. Although the emotionalstrain or cultural transition of the rush process on freshmen garnersmuch attention during rush week, and even though many freshmenvoice their incredulity or resentment at the rush process, it is graduallylforgotten as registration, getting settled, and classes -become ourprimary concerns. After undergoing it for the first and only time, thereis little to motivate anyone to take a serious look at how rush affectsfreshmen their first week on campus and what improvements might bemade.

The pressures of rush

Rush is clearly not an "e4motional strain" or "cultural transition" foreveryone. Many freshmen arrive intent on living in a dormitory. Forthem there is little pressure; R/C week is relatively carefree. Similarly,nany 1reshmen interested in fraternities are promptly "grabbed" byfrats; for them an early bid ends the pressure of rush.

Ye'. for many rush is a hectic, unpredictable strain. Flushing, beingvolleyed between competing living groups, and the general feeling ofnot knowing where you are going to live is very trying. Particularly up-selting for freshmen is "waiting for the bid that never comes."' Mostfraternities rush hard or "keep around" more freshmen than they everintend to bid. After investing a day or two at a seemingly receptivefraternity, a few freshmen invariably get "screwed." It is an inherentflaw in rush that strongly disappoints those unlucky few.

There is a tendency to belittle this aspect of the rush process. Wedon't like to talk about it. What about those that get screwed? "Well,life is unfair." I have discussedithis problem with fraternity members,rush chairmen, and former "rushees." All acknowledge that the pres-sures ofa rush nmake it very difficult for freshmen to really relax and en-joy it.

Other scolso01 different

Coming up with ideas and solutions is difficult. Many freshmen askwhy rush needs to be conducted so soon after they are welcomed toMaIT. The stock answer: the housing shortage necessitates gettingfreshmen into the fraternity system immediately.

Contrast this with other universities. "Rush" there is a misnomer; itis a long-tert process during the first or second semester. "'Pledges"tnlove into fraternities at the beginning of their sophomore year. AllfreLshmen live in dormitories, with more upperclassmen, in turn, in theI'fraternities.

Could such a system work at MIT? Probably, but the transition fromthe present to the conventional system would be problematic.

Obviously such a change will not occur - the IFC and MIT will op-pose it vehemently - nor do I think it should. But I do feel thatimplovenlments in the rush process are needed.

()OLe problem which could be attacked is that of information. Reams(of institute garbage mail inundate the freshman before his arrival. Yetdescriptions of' the rush process, particularly nlushing and fraternityjockeying, Lire inadequately described. The general sentimentelntrnched by MIT and the IFC has been "what freshmen don't knowmvon'l hurl them.' But it is indeed this ignorance, this "hey, what thehell is go|ing on' discomfort that makes rush such a drag.

Ma.ybe somlething else can be done. We would like to hear from theSludenlt bovdy, palrticularly freshmen, on what might make the rushprolcess nioere: enljoyabtle.

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman.Let me present our solution, anartist's conceptions of the nextdome over Kresge. We believethat this dome will not only fit inaesthetic harmony with the sur-rounding architecture of the In-stitute but also weather for years,carrying this great Institute ofTechnology into its second cen-tury of educating the youth of theworld'"i

"May I have a closer look atthat sketch?" asked. Mr. AndrewP. Nutly, a personnel ad-ministrator. After studing the(Please turn to page 5)

Since the closing of KresgeAuditorium Was announced earlythis week by physical Plantbecause Of the discovery of looseConcrete in the auditorium's roofedge beams, many campus groupsthat have relied on Kresge in thepast have been thrown into a flur-ry - looking for alternative ac-comodations to Kresge.

Several of these campus groupswho regularly use Kresge - theonly auditorium on campus thatcan seat 1000,people,- may beholding some emergency meetingsto look for solutions to theKresge dilemma.

It is rumored that one of thesolutions. that surfaced in onesuch meeting of a campus theatregroup included holding each actof their next dramatic production,The 04d!'sser, in a different roomof' the lnstitute and asking theaudience to travel from room toroom over the course of the even-ing. All the details havn't beenworked out yet, but some of themembers of the group seementhusiastic about it, claimingthat the audience will sympathisewith Ulysses and experience a"tragic catharsis" in the course ofthe evening, complete withblisters and sore feet.

While LSC debates whether ornot it will show movies on theface of McCormick, othermembers of the group, irate withthe inconvenience caused by theclosing of the auditorium for thesecond time since its opening,nlay try to arrange for the Kresgestructural engineering firm tohold its next board meeting in thefailing auditorium with hopesthat the roof will collapse.

Equally irate members of theM IT Concert Band might give aloud renditiorm of the nationalanthemr at the beginning of theboard meeting, played from theKresge Oval, complete with cym-b aIs, kettle drums, andbaritones... and prayers toheaven that the walls of Jerichowill come tumbling down uponthe heads of the misguided firm.

Apparently a small group ofhard rock freaks in Bexley havecau-lit wind of the idea, and arechecking out the possibility ofhaving several local disco groupsperform in the auditorium...simultaneously,

As many student groups meetlooking for ways of doingsonething about the Kresgedilemma, the Institute willprobably respond to the situationin its own way.

A meeting of an Institute com-

mittee formed to deal with theproblem might go something likethis:

"Gentlemen, please be seated.This meeting is called to order.We've called this initial meetingof the Committee to Restore AllConcrete in Kresge, known asCRACK, to consider solutions tothe Kresge roof problem. Mly col-league, Mr. George Dome, fromthe Grounds Architecture Office,has studied the problem exten-sively. I spoke with Mr. Domebefore the meeting, and it is myunderstanding that his office hasdrafted a proposal to replace thedome. Additionally, his office isadvocating that the lead in thepresent dome be molded into a

7-(o the Editor:Freedom of choice is constantly

beingperoded at MIT. Even now,the fell specter of compulsoryCommons surges ominously,nauseating the hardiest of souls,

In line with the currentnationwide trend, rights foughttor aind won ten years ago are be-ing torn away. This time, the ad-mrinistration is considering a giantstlep - backwards to forcedConininons..

.Supposedly, mandatory mealswould provide a reliable base onwhich the floundering dining ser-vice could build. Actually, themove would crush much of the-diversity of the campus, -forcingstudents to conform unnecessarilywsith something they might totally;bhoar.

Itmprovement of the dining ser-vice itself' seems the logical patht ( i n c reas Aed patronage.l)Dianding participation in a ser-vi'e X hich is obviously unattrac-tive - being overpriced and,soImre feel, objectionable - seerns. ludicrous parody of logic.

East Campus is a typical victimof this arbsurdity. Since the oft-cLowded W;alker dining hall is sogeonr-aphically convenient, EastCamr1pus inhabitants may beforced onto Commons. Notevervone will meet this fate,however: the decree would takeeflfecl tbeginning with next year'sIfr eshlings.

While this is infinitely more

toellable for those present now, itserves adinirobly to avert opposi-tion: "it won't affect me - whyshould I bother to get involved?"

T he issue is not just a matter ofmind over stomach. It is one ofprinciple. For the past ten yearsM IT students have been free tochoose where and how they wantto live; whether or not residentswould have Commons forcedupon themn was not a considera-tion in selecting a living group.

Htave we regressed to the pointw here individuality is dismissedas a mere inconvenience? Is a

struggling food service going todictate the lives of those aroundit, absorbing thein to fulfill itsoWl rleeds'?

The existence of Commons isnot under fire; the student's rightto self-determnination is. Studentslulled into a false sense of securityby a decade of relative freedommay find thenselves rudelyawakened by the revocation ofliberties they had taken forgranted.

Compulsory -Commons issomething worth fighting.Granted, such a battle may be alltoo reminiscent of beating one'shead algainst a brick wall. . butat least it will show that we stillw;ant to be more than MIT IDnumber; and dietician's statistics.

Alter all, how can we let themdo this to the Class of 1984?

p age itarticle in The Tech(Septeniher 21) revives the peren-nial questioin of whether or notthe scientist needs the artist to"humlanize'' him. The realizationhas existed since the mid-nineteen'th century that complexmlachinery would proliferate topi;ay al central role sooner or laterin the lives offall nankind. Thescientist, instead of being picturedars a concerned citizen anxiously;lgonizing over the possible socialcons~eque~nces of the latest

mechaniicall invelllioll, has oftenbeen thought of as a gadget gour-nliand ealger to usher in any gizmoLIS, long als it instilled a sense ofwonder. The artist has beendecrnzed nlece~ssary to ;awakell thesceint ist~ to the importance ofthose .lspects of lire upon whichthe iatter would institute suchrerol'oupid ,:hanrges, aspects

"The UNION CONTRACT?."asked Dome.

"Surely as a higher official inthe beaulracracy you're aware ofthe CONTRACT," Nutly replied."iIt's in one of the clauses of thepapers that we signed with the un-ion people back in '55. They haveto be allowed to make repairs onKresge at least once every weekwith a major job every fifteenyears. t was either that or paypeople to wash the ceiling of Lob-by l 0 daily.

Horace Egsheli interrupted."'Mr. Chlairman, representing thehon~orable and prestigious firm ofAmin and What-not, I doubt verystrongly that the GroundsArchitecture Office could havecome up with an INTELLIGENTsolution for the design of a newKresge roof if you had been unin-formed about the CONTRACT."

*'Well, I didn't realize,"' saidMr. Dom~e. ''In that case I mightsuggest our alternative plan: aninflatable plastic bubble over theauditorium -just like the tennisbubble. . . We can only hope thatthe Kresge bubble will also coi-lapse with the winter snows," saidDome.

THE TECH FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1979

By Richr AuchusThe MIT golf team is 4-1 after

posting victories over Tufts andNortheastern during the past twoweeks. The Engineers gave asomewhal- disappointing perfor-mance in tfe.New 'EnglandChampionships earlier this week,finishing near the middle of the35-team field.

On Monday, the 17th, Techdefeated Northeaslern, 428-433,but fell to Merrimack by threestrokes, 428-425. NedEmerson'81 led the scoring forMIT with an 81, and DougPalrigian 'S0 shot 83. On Fridaythe 21st, the Engineers crushedTufts on their home course, 420-448. Mtark Marinan '8 l wasmedalist with an'80; Parigianl fol-lowed with an 81.

MIT's team total of 667 wasnot quite as impressive- as ex-pected in thre New Eng'landChampionships this Monday andTuesday at Tacaonic and-Waubeeka Springs.. Parigian's 36-hole total of 86-76 =162 was lowfor 'the Engineers. Bob Cosway

'80, Emerson, and Scott Nyberg'82 carded 167,168 and 170respectively. "W'e beat a lot ofteams," coach Jack Barry corn-niented, but the tournamenthosted some very stiff competi-tion.

The squad hopes to schedulematches with Boston College andBentley this week and will com-pete in the ECAC Regional Tour-nament. MIT has been a strongcontender, in this tournament asevidenced by their second placefinish last year.

FootballBy Robert Labarre

Yes, MIT did win its first foot-b;ill game in 79 years. LookingIlaiwless in the First quarter anddelcnsive for the remainder of thegame, M IT showed us something.They showed us that given twocomponvenls, MIT can win all thetime. These two are: (1) a little in-centive, and (2) a shabby team toplay against.

There is some talent on theMIT teani. We will have to look

at quarterback Bruce Wrobel Gand running back Jeff Olson '81in future games. Other playerswere surprisingly good, but let'snot forget against whom we wereplaying.

Norwalk does not play footballvery well. Their defensive line isshaky and their offense inr elatively mediocre in mostRtlpects. Their running game is'just as good as their passing, and

both are pretty poor.MIT seems to do better when

they run, although Wrobel com-pleted some very key passes. His57-yard pass to Barry Jordan gota-lot of attention from the crowdearly in the game.

We're going to have to see MITplay some good football teams toreally evaluate the team'sstrengths and weaknesses. Theonly thing clear to me at thispoint is that they are muchimlploved over the team of 79ycears ago.
