Several factors brought thesituation to Butt's attention; inaddition to insurance problems.there were tenant complaintsabout bicycles in the elevators,and complaints by security menabout problems with the glassdoors.

The major tefiant complainthas been that bicycles overcrowdthe elevators during rush-houxperiods. The security guardshave had more serious com-plaints, as the automatic closingfeature of the glass doors cannoteasily be overcome by a personwith a bicycles if he is notassisted by somPeone else_ Theconcern here is that someonemay break the glass and injure.himself.

The- basis of the fire hazardfear, according to both Buttsand the buildings' insurancecompany, is that people willlattempt to remove their bikesfrom- the building during a fire.Since the elevators are turnedoff in a fire situation, this wouldmean bicycles in the stairwells,according to Butts and thatwould be intolerable in an emer-gency situation.

Askzed why bicycles were anymore a hazard than any otherpersonal property, an insurancecompany employee . expelaned

The 545 Tech Square build-ing, which contains Project Macand -many -Course VI offices,once 'belonged tso -MT in cooper-ation with Cabot, -Cabot andForbes. The Institute sold out itsshare (2/3) of the project in thespring of 1971. (The Tec, Apri9. 1971) Since that time, MITspace has been rented fromCC&E, and the rights grantedhave been the same as thosegranted any other tenant.

Butts told The Tech, "We're

in the space rental business, andMIT is just another tenant, but avery good tenant. Its presence, at545 does not make that buildinginto a campus buiding.i T~eare- still commercial tenantsthere too...

When asked about the secu.-d-ty of bikes left outside, Buttssoted that there *erebske racksat 565, and that to his knownledge no locked bike has beenstolen there.

The insurance company 'for-the boildimg, Beebe Blakeley andForbes, told The Tech that Buttshad indeed been advised to) postsuch a notice by lability fiels,as a resu3lt of recent inspectionIs."'If these recommen~dations arenlot llolalwved, the insulance mnaybe cancelld." The inspection

Diane Idek of Lynden, New Jer-sey who said "I like Nixon. Ithink he's doing a great job," tothat of graduate student JoelLazetwatsky, of Roslyn, NewYork who commented "I findNixon slimy and repulsive.'"

Reaction to McGovern ten-ded to be less of a love or hateaffair. Freshman Tom Sullivanof Milton, Florida, the only un-dergraduate in the sample whohad registered in Boston, exem-plified the sort of mixed attitudeheld toward. McGovern. Praisingthe Senator for having a definiteplan to end the war- "I'm sortof sick -of the war" he added -he was less than enthusiasticabout McGosvem's economic vol-

icy. "If it's possible for it towork," he said, "it will; if not,Congress won't approve it."

Graduate student FrankLeathers of Arlington, Virginiawas the only one of the nineinterviewed who was undecidedabout his preference. "'I don'tlike what Nixon is doing," heexplained, "but I don't like whatMcGovern is saying." He wenton to say that he disagreed withMcGovern's philosophy. "I don'tknow what Nixon's is, but fromwhat he does, I don't think I likehis."

All nine of the students con-tacted said they were followingthe presidential campaign in themedia. The election is appar-ently a common topic of cotnver-sation, for none of those ques-tioned requkred more than amoment to formulate their re-plies to queries about who theyplanned to Y-ote for and why.Sophomore M[atthew Farber ofBaldwin, New York noted that"almost everyone has some com-ment about the election." He.added that he thought "mostpeople have The same views as Ido" (Farber is a McGovern sup-porter), but that "it is moreinteresting to talk with peoplewho disagree."

While the war in Vietnamseemed to be the major issue inthe minds of MIT students, theeconomy, corruption and a, con-cern over the candidates' philos-ophies also surfaced as factors inthe choice of favorite. SeniorWilliam Blumn, for example, ex-plained that he was going to votefor McGovern because he's "thebest candidate." He spokeagainst the President, saying "Idon't like the corruption in theNixon administration. I'm op-posed to the war and I don'tthink Nixon is trying to end it."Freshman Richard Van Tassel,from outside Minneapolis, MLn-nesota, a McGovern supporter,felt that McGovern is more li'b-eral and moxe concerned with

THE TRANSFOR'MATItON signals change that isinevitable and already in progress, but is not to bemistaken for a "revolution of the young" nor foranother conventional historical period. it is a trans-formation on an anthropological scale leading to whatmay well be a new human species. It opens the wayfor a new wave of inquiry about the entire nature ofsocial and individual life. Informed and wide-ranging,as well as intensely personal, The Transformationinsists that there is no split between body and mind,matter and spirit. For the reader, this book should bea revelatory experience in awareness; after reading it,nothing will ever be quite the same.

© 1972 by Peter PeckarskyWASHINGTON, October 3 1. Accordingto a sometimes reliable, usually informedsource, the United States is allegedlyapproaching a curve in the road fromwhich it will be able to see the 1/ght at theend of the tunnel.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger (the "source"for the above information), NationalSecurity Affairs advisor to PresidentRicha-rd M. Nixon, made this announce-ment last Thursday during a politicalcampaign appearance on behalf of .Nixonbefore members of the Washington presscorps. Some eleven hours before Kissingerspoke, the Democratic Republic of Viet-name (DRV) released the terms of atenatire nine point accord reached be-tween tile DRV and the US. The tenatiyeagreement was negotiated in Paris duringsecret talks between Kissinger and Le DucTho, a member of the DRV Politburo.The premature North Vietnamese an-nouncement forced the United States'hand and led to Kissinger's appearance.

It appears that the Hanoi regime publi-cized the tentative plans because itwanted to have them signed prior to theNovember 7 US election. According tothe DRV, the agreement was supposed tobe signed on October 31; Kissinger-statedthat he told the North Vietnamese thatthe US "would make a major effort tomeet the deadline" of October 3 t.

The proposed agreement provides apatina of respectability behind which theUS can withdraw its forces, regain itsprisoners-of-war, and leave the division ofVietnam to the indigenous adversaries.

The plan which the North Vietnameseannounced, and which Kissinger con-firmed was a correct statement of theagreement, is similar in its essentialaspects to the peace plan formulated bySenator George S. McGovern, the Demo-cratic Presidential nominee, in a nation-wide television address -on October 10,1972.

Both plans call for the end of allmili-tary action by the US and the with--drawal of .all US troops and advisorswithin a specified time period. The US-DRV plan specifies a sixty day with-drawal plan. McGovern specified a ninetyday withdrawal period and was attackedby the Administration on the grounds thatall US forces could not be removedwithin ninety days. The Administrationwas either lying to the American peopleabout McGovern's plan or it is now l~ingto the DRV about our capability to effecta total withdrawal in sixty days.

Both plansprovide for US aid toreconstruct the war-torn countries ofIndochina.

Also, both plans leave the solution ofthe internal political problems of Viet-nam to the Vietnamese. True, there ismuch verbiage in the agreement about aNational Council of Reconciliatio n, mili-tary commissions composed of the partiesto, the struggle, and international super,visory and control cornmissions, but thefeasibil/ty of effective impiemen tation ofthese theoretical constructs is nil.

For example, according to the official.White House tramscript of Kissinger'sbriefing: "Existing military equipment

within South Vietnam could be replacedon a one-to-one basis by weapons of thesame charactersitics and of similar charac-teristics and properties under inter-national supervision." 'The US intelligenceservices did not know of the existence oflarge numbers -of DRV tanks in SouthVietnam until well after the 1972 springoffensive began. How are miles of jungletrails and borders going to be patrolled tobe sure that the replacement ofexistingweapons is on a one-for-one basis? Howwill the supervisory commission detectlong-term small scale infiltration acrossthe borders?

It is also alleged that the DRV "hasmad-e itself responsible for an accountingof our prisoners and missing in actionthroughout Indochina and for the repatri-ation of Americ'an prisoners throughoutIndochina." But, if history is any guide,the DRV would have done this in anycase just as they did after the 1954ceasefire with the French.

The DRV, the National LiberationFront for South Vietnam (Vietcong), andthe Republic of Vietnam (RVN) forcesare fighting for as much territory as theycan grab in order to bolster their respec-tive positions prior to the signing of theceasefire agreement. The RVN is pro-ducing and distributing flags at an as-tounding rate. President Thieu is kickingand screaming about the terms of theagreement and shows no indication ofsigning it at any time in the forseeablefuture.

Henry Kissinger would have the Amer-ican people believe that the remaining

difficulties can be resolved {n one or morenegotiating sessions with the DRV lasting"no more than three or four days." lie,also would have us believe "that outconsultations with Saigon will produceagreement within the same time framethat I have indicated is required tccomplete the agreement with Hanoi ... ".Yet Thieu has said that he would not allow elections to take place in whichthere were Communist candidates; thetentative accord calls for elections to beadministered by a three-sided 'commissioncomprised of the DRV, RVN, and a thirdgroup picked by th'e -first, two sides. The.comrmission must make all of its decisio~Unanhnously. Ridiculous!!

According to Kissinger "there are pro.visions that the disposition of Vietnamese:armed forces in the South should also besettled through negotiations among thieSouth Vietnamese parties." The disposi.tion of forces in the South is what thefighting has been all about these manyyears. What indication is there that allo0fa sudden the combatants will lay down.their arms and negotiate peacefully?

The agreement announced last Thun.day, nine days after McGovern's speech.is unworkable. Even if it is implemented:it will provide nothing the US could nothave obtained in 1969 at the start of thelNixon Administration.

So great is the desire of the American,people for peace that they will clutch at lany straw. Immediately after the an.:nouncement, there was a sense of relief in:Washington - almost euphoria. Then:discerning people started to read andlthink about the accords. Is this agreementijust another in a long line of strategern~s!

,designed to gain a short-term political-advantage for Richard Nixon? There up.!pears to be more substance to this an.;nouncernent than to previous peace ru.i_mots. It is possible, but highly unlikely,!that the accord wfill be signed before the:election next Tuesday.

On the whole, the press was duped by!Kissinger and assorterl White House pub..lic relations men with respect to theimeaning of the an-nouncement. Kis. isinger's words were taken at face value.because he has been given the image of aibrilliant, inteilect ual diplomat. He has}ingratiated himself to many members of['the Washington press corps by leaking[them classified tidbits of information. (In~other words, Kissinger has done the samelthing Daniel Ellsberg did. The differenc¢ibeing that Kissinger is not being prose.'.cuted.) Now the people who have pro-`fited from Kissinger's leaks are repaying~the favor by casting his announcement in.the best possible light.

If the electorate believes the latest[peace rumor, it is possible that they willthen, make threk decision next Tuesday!~not on the Vietnam issue but on the,'economic issue. Tihere is evidence thati'McGovern stands to gain due to a ten..~dency to picture McGovern as better ableito deal fairly with our 'economic probeilems. -[

Tilere is a healthy; degree of skepticism}among voters about the timing of the[eannouncement. Many people are wonder{'ing why this announcement -came so soOPn7before the election.

There is a third sentiment, less profnounced than the previous two reactions,which indicates a favorable reaction td~the Nixon-Kissinger efforts at peace nego.ktintions and a consequent vote of thanrkson November 7. At present it is too earlylto properly assess the-impact of last iThursday's announcements on the elee~tion.

By Storm. KauffmanThe creation of an Energy Laboratory

for MIT portends increased opportunitiesfor both faculty and students in an areain which MIT has had very limited offer-ings.

.The Institute has had no coherent, infact no' recognizable, po!icy in the do-main of energy. What research is present-ly underway has been acquired throughthe efforts of individual faculty orgroups. That the Lab can be invaluable inprocuring important projects and fundingfor MItT is undoubtable if it develops intotlhe mriajor organization that its plannerswfsh.

At the faculty meeting at which hepresented the proposal, Head of theDepartment of Nuclear EngineeringEdward Mason seemed to express the

most concern over the fact that theInstitute was "not getting its share ofenergy-related projects." It is understand-able to worry that the Institute is missingopportunities for rewarding work, and itis certainly a prestigious technologicalinstitution, but there is no reason toexpect that we have some rightful shareas seemed to be implied. MIT wants itsfinger in every worthw;,vhile technical pie.There is nothing deplorable about goingafter the money which industry andgoverenmuent is anxious to give away. In amore than incidental way, the Lab-shouldfurther increase our prestige and draw,more big names to the faculty. It willprovide more educational opportunities.However, it should be realized that themajor reason for the creation of the Labis apparently that the Institute feels thatit is missing out in an important area ofresearch and development.

The Lab, as it exists now, is servingonly in this Iliason capacity. The organi-zers have already begun to approachsponsors with the Lab as the basis of theirproposals. There will be no concreteaction taken on the formation of themachinery of the Lab until it has proventhat it can draw in the funding. While thisis a somevwhat morencerary policy. it ,!,-mionstiates more caution on the part ofthe Institute than is oftern seen. T£headministration is making no commitmentuntil it knows that the idea is practicable,and thids care with resources is certainly'commendable. However, as a student, I

'tend to hope that the Lab will have moreeducational importance than is indicated.

Mason stated that service to societywill be the primary goal. Of course,without contracts, there will not be anywork for anyone, but there seems to be atendency to underemphasize the educa-

closely related to the standard of livingand the gross national product, there is awealth of relationships to be studieddealing with the control of the means ofproduction and distribution of energy.

The development of a generalized ra-tionale for policy decisions is a veryworthwhile overall goal for the _Lab.National energy policy in the past and atpresent has been far too haphazard withsometimes economic, sometimes environ-mental, and sometimes political consider-ations taking precedence. Of course, set-ting up the Lab does not guarantee thatworkable methodologies will be pro-duced, nor that they will be followed bythose powers-that-be, but it does offer aprospect of bringing some order to ourfrantic scramblings.

The Lab will be set up to undertakelarge-scale work that other groups at MITc;ould not possibly handle. Mason saw theeventuality of contracts for pilot plantand prototype development - projectsthat would require large professionalstafffs, di-verse areas of expertise, a fullrange of facilities, and the capability of acontinuing effort for a period as long as adecade. In other words, the Lab will beorganized to be uniquely qualified tohighly complex programs involving a widevariety of .R&D skills.

The importance of the Lab will be injust this ability to consider a problem inan interdisciplinary framework. Its mereexistence will provide a forum for allinterested in energy to meet, discuss, andcompare their ideas. Far -too often, apromising line of research is overlookedbecause advances made in one area re-main buried in technical obscurity. Thisunfortunate occurrence is more prevalentin energy-related problems as they coversuch a wide range of fields that itbecomes physically impossible for anysingle researcher to wade through allthe possibly relevant data. One of theLab's functions will be to act as aclearinghouse and correlator for not onlyMIT but also national data collected onenergy.

As previously mentioned, there is agreat need for an understanding of the.many factors in any energy consideration.Industry and government all too oftenseem determined to follow Ithe mostconvoluted paths, sometimes findingthemselves with the exact opposite of thedesired result. Any success in unsnarling,this confusing area, involving a balancingof the qualinty of life against the standardof l/ring, wtU be welcome.

The majority of people are poorly(Please turn to page 5) ,

tional role that the Lab should play. Inhis discussions Mason essentially over-looked what is iUsted as the first pointunder Service to the Institute in his LabProposal: "To enhance tire educationalopportunities in energy-related areas atMIT. To work with and tiraough theacademnic departments in denrelopin- rele-rant energy-related subject material, cur-ricula, and thesis oriented research."'While it is ikely that Mason just bypassed

,the point in view of the more immediateneed to obtain funding, it is necessarythat the Lab not become too over-whelmed by contract work-to ignore theneeds of the students.

The Lab is not supposed to evolve intoanother Draper or Lincoln Lab, althoughit w'ill also be a Special Laboratory. Thatno classified research will be undertakenwill be helpful in accorn'plishing this aim,but it is all too easy to see the'- Labdeveloping into some giant organizationthat will eventually be far too unwieldlyfor the Institute. At a time when MIT isspinning off one Lab and suffering allsorts of difficulties, in so doing, it is not awise idea to become committed toanother which may eventually have to bedivested. This seems unlikely to be neces-sary if the faculty and students can takean active enough role to ensure theeducational relevancy of the Lab. Theplans are arranged to permit just this:providing for a Director who would be amember of the faculty and for an advisoryboard with members from both groups.Mason has admitted that the Lab "willrequire strong faculty input to ensure itsacademic role." The need for the develop-ment of interests among the MIT commu-nity becomes of 'vial importance, and itis to be hoped that the Lab does notoverlook this important source of enthu--siastic support.

The Lab's organizers have alreadytaken. steps in the educational directionwith plans to hold a series of seminars onenergy later this year. This should hidi-

onic their interest in student participa-tion, and undergraduates should not missthe chance to get involved with the Labat its incepiC. on.

If the Lab develops as fully asplanned, it can make some really notablecontributions to our national effort. The

'proposal calls for -investigation of allaspects of the energy problem and prom-ises ample opportunities for all depart-merits. At the last faculty meeting, politi-cal science was offered as an example of afield which would be involved; it waspoint~ed out that as energy is such a vitalpart of a nation's well-being and so

nation's leading doves when he issued hislatest plan for disengagement.

Commenting on the depth ofMcGovern's proposal, Joseph Kraft wrotein the October 12 issue of the WashingtonPost: "Now the inescapable fact is thatSenator McGovern and his staff have apoor grasp of the Vietnam issue. They arenot even interested in safeguards toAmerican interests offered by Hanoi.They want to bug out no matter what thecost."

James. Reston of the New York Timeswrote in the October I1 issue: " . . .McGovern's [plan] is virtually a formulafor surrender," These statements aremade by men who have been consistentlycritical of Nixon's war policies but whosee McGovern's solutions as clearlysecond-rate.

Indeed, with McGovern's hawkish sup-port of Israel, one wonders if he is apeace candidate or just a man who wantsto play politics.

His domestic plans seem a bit hazy.And since he has dropped his plan ofgiving 1000 dollars to every American, itis hard to tell what type of economy wewill have if either McGovern or Nixonwere president. Both seem equally non-committal.

McGovern has also made a number ofpolitical moves which have shaken hissupport.

On the one hand he says he supportsEagleton 1000%. Then the next week hedrops him from the ticket.

He then attacks the Nixon administra-tion for being the most corrupt in historypartly because of Vietnam and partlybecause of Watergate, wEile a few weeksbefore he exonerated Johnson because heinherited the war.

Clearly if Nixon is to blame for thewar, three administrations are to blameequally for its continuation. And Johnsonwould certainly deserve as much blame asNixon. It appears that McGovern is justplaying politics.

And the Watergate affair, if proventrue, is inexcusable because it wouldhave been an attempt by the Republicansto obtain information to discredit theDemocrats. But it is even worse to makethe type of public statements whereMcGovern compares the Nixon adminv-stration to Hitter. Here he is saying in

public what the Republicans say in pri-vate about him.

Political hyperboles aren't really whatone would expect to hear from someonewho claims to be leading a cause orcrusade. But basically it appears as if theMcGovern crusade has soured.

Nixon is not defeating McGovern. It isjust that McGovern's. goals change andMcGovern's image as a crusader is becom-ing weaker.

In the beginning of McGovern's cam-paign, he enjoyed widespread popularityamong college voters. But the latest Gal-lop polls show that among the collegiatevoters Nixon and McGovern are abouteven.

In fact, according to an early OctoberGallop poll, Nixon enjoys wide supportof freshmen and sophomores across thecountry, with 56% of the freshmen and52% of the sophomores favoring himi.Among all students, Including graduates,the figures were 49% foar McGovern and47% for Nixon. This is quite a changefrom earlier in McGovern's campaign,wlhen he commanded a very strong lead inthis group.

The professors seem to share theseviews. A poll in an October issue of ¥ewYork Magazine showed that among pro-fessors, 48% support McGovern, while45% support Nixon.

Where have the collegiates gone? Theyhave probably also become disenchantedwith McGovern. McGovern's creed hasbecome a little weak. When he courtsgroups like Wallace voters and the Dalleymachine, he certainly loses his support.He is just another politician.

He is like a preacher who leads a quietSunday service which moves his listenersand yet who doesn't quite practice whathe preaches during the rest of the week.

Yes, some of his supporters still sug-gest that he is leading a clean campaignand he hasn't waivered on his views.Some go as far to suggest that he is goingto easily win. Maybe so, but maybe thereare more used car salesmen than youthink.

Probably the most important point inelections is to dig a little deeper whenyou're voting for a politician to makesure he's not selling an Edsel.

The American voters aren't buyhng anEdsel this year.

By Mark HaleyIt's amazing how times change people.

A short time ago it was assumed by somethat Nixon would sell his mother anEdsel.

Now, according to a recent Galloppoll, the situation has changed. McGoverntrails Nixon by over 25% in mid-October.One cosuld conclude that McGovern isselling a worse Edsel.

This 25% lead represents the biggestmargin in a recent presidential election atthis stage of the race.

What happened to George McGovern?His problem goes beyond the fact thatpeople aren't ready for his vision ofAmerica. People don't know which of the

many visions McGovern is following.Many people aren't quite sure what hewill do once he's in office.

It was not that McGovern's basic ideasare so fundamentally unique. Some of hispopulist attitudes are ingrained in manyAmericans' political thinking. People dowant changes in the country. It's just thatthe manner in which McGovern wants tochange things has left many people re-sentful or disillusioned.

On the war, for instance, the pollsdearly show that people want to get outof Vietnam. But McGovern blundered onhis best issue, and now, according to anOctober Gallop poll, most people assumethat Nixon can do a better job of it thanMcGovercGover.MGovern lost some of the

(Con inued from page 4)informed about energy and its effects.The situation has been greatly improvedwith the present stress on ecology, butthe pendulum has swung past as usual.Previously, people were in the dark -uninformed - about power, but now willall the self-proclaimed experts far toomany are over-informed. This is probablythe preferable situation, but an effortmust be made to spread a realistic viewand counter the alarmism of the environ-mentalists and the big-brotlher assurancesof government and industry. All is notpeaches and cream but neither is all deathand destruction. Once people have abetter idea of where things really stand, itcan be hoped that they will take a middleroad .

Unfortunately, it is not just the aver-age citizen who does not know his factsabout energy. Large sectors of govern-ment and industry are dangerously blindto important considerations. As these arethe two groups in the position to createmajor harm or offer substantial benefits,a realistic vie-w of energy must be madeknown here also. Perhaps the prestige ofMIT and its faculty will give more weightto the points which the Lab wishes tomake.

Independent studies of problems, suchas the assessment of resources, are sorelyneeded. Many of the present investia-tions were undertaken by the various

energy companies which either beganwith a biased view or were looking only

tfo factors of direct interest to themn. Ifthe Lab can generate a cormnprehensivestudy of the interrelationships of notonly technical factors but also societalones, it -will have made an invaluablecontribution.

Along the lines of maintaining thisindependence is the necessity of notbecoming too dependent upon one spon-sor or group of interests. At the facultymeeting, Mason stressed that diversesources of funding would be sought andlisted some of those organizations thatare presently looking for research groups:there is the whole gamut of federalagencies from the AEC to NSF, there arestate and local governments, the fuelcompanies, the utilities, industries thatconsume large quantities of energy, andso on.

The Energy Lab could become a majorforce at the Institute. It can provide awealth of new opportunities for facultyand students alike. Overall, provided thatthe community maintains an active inter-est, the Lab can do far more good thanharm for the Institute and the world andso should be a very worthwhile addition.More important, students and facultywho are interested in energy considera-tions should -not hesitate to becomeactively involved in the Lab from itsearliest stages.

employee who, could be helpedby the program will have theopportunity to participate.There is also the hope that theskills training program will helpto decrease the Institute's highemployee turnovser rate.

In the past, MIT has had twoprograms of a similar nature.They were not long-term, how-ever, as they were sponsored fora one-year period by the Depart-ment of Labor. The programstrained people in office andtechnical skills who were notemployees, but who were hiredafter they completed the pro-gram. During the year, theyspent as Imuch as half their.timein classes and half on the jobS-The new skills trainming programinvolves only, those already.em-,ployed by MIT.

Davis expressed the hope thatthe new program would expandwith time and offer more ser-vices to employees. Subjectsbeing offered currently are:

English as a second language:this will be primarily directed atSpanish speaking employees, al-thoulgh not exclusively.

Typing for Speed and Accur-acy: This subject will be self-paced and open to those whodon't know how to type as wellas those who do and wish toimprove:their ability..

Genaeral Office Practitces: Thiswill involve general secretarialskills such as business letter for-mats, fi!/ng systems, and 'tele-phone usage.

gram to upgrade the skills of itsclerical and other non-educational employees. Underthe direction of the TrainingSection of the Office of Person-nel Relations, the program willconsist of classes in basic clericalskills, as well as others such asEnglish as a second language.

"This program has two mainpurposes," said Robert J. Davis,Director of the Office of Person-nel Relations. They are to assistin the implementation of MIT'saffirmative action planr, and togenerally improve the skills ofthe lInstitute's employees. Underthe plan, MIT seeks to hiepeople, maairdy nmembers of mi-nority groups, who are not atpresent qualified for jobs, andtrain them.

English as a second languagewill be particularly impsrtant tothe affirmative action program.While most subjects offered willbe directed at the clerical staff,this opportunity will also beoffered to employees of thephysical plant and the diningservice.

mick. This year, she continued,the assignment of Wellesley ex.change students to McCormickwould require some "shufflingaround". The people who arenow in doubles "aren't likely towant to be in triples."

In addition, Markham feltthat putting W¥ellesley women inthe coed dorms would result inadditional friction because ofwomen from MIT who feel theyv'should have priority for gettingopenings in MIT's coed dorms.

Questioned about the possi-bility of limitiLg next term'sExchange to students fromMiT's- three coed dormtories,Browning asserted that, "we feelit should be open to al MiTstudents." The Dean's Officeand the Exchange Committee,he explained, take the positionthat all students should be ableto participate since it's part ofMIT's academic program.

The decision on- whether ornot to continue the programappears to have fallen almostentirely on Browning's office.Earlier this term, according tohim, Wellesley's exchange corn-mnittee decided they would beable to participate in the Resi-dence program at the level ofabout 15 students. The onlycontacts with MITE's exchangecosmmittee that Browning re-ported were phone calls lastweek from Alberty. (In fact,according to Alberty -the MITcommittee has not yet met thisyear- last year, however, theydid meet and decided they fa-vored an exchangedin the springterm.) Browning stated, that Wel-lesley requested a decision byNovember l; he did say, how-ever, that he would have delayedhis decision if the dormitorypresidents had requested him todo so.

Door-to-door canvassing in to Re-elect the President at thedormitories has also been a part beginning of October because heof the McGovern effort. Sullivan -realized that '"McGovern didn'ttermed the reaction there have Massachusetts sewn up."

Student voters did not seemso well i-formed about localissues. Idek explained that shewas not following the local is-sues but planned to ask herparents to explain the questionsto her and then vote on the basisof that.

None of the students offeredto predict the outcome of theelection, although Van Tassel

'when asked about McGovernsaid "I don't knsow. If [McGo-ern] makes it, it's going to beclose." He added that he hopedNixon supporters would see alandslide and neglect to vote.

While everyone seemed tohave been talking about the elec-tion, only two of the nine inter-viewees had worked in the cam-

i fbre.- the election. Junior MartyDavidoff of Suffern, New Yorkreported that he had worked fora couple of weeks_ during thesummer before he was able toget a regular Job and that heplanned to go home the week-end before the election. SeniorSteve Taylor of Flint, Michiganstated that he was considering"taking the week before theelection off to campaign forabortion, McGovern, and Day-light Savi-ngs Tim e, in thatorder."

A look at the student organi-zations of the two parties revealsa wide gap in membership andactivity. Students for McGovernhas -been active at MIT sinceJanuary, when it joined en theNew Hampshire primary cam-paign. Dave Sullivan, last spring'scoordinator at MIT, is now theCambridge Coordin-ator of Stu-dents for McGovern. Young Vo-ters for the President, however,has hardly begun organizing oncampus. Sophomore Dean Cal-cagni of Rutland, Vermont, oneof the group's organizers, knewof only a couple of peopleworking on it.

The McGovern effort, accor-ding to Sullivan, has been fo-cusing primarily on canvassing.On the weekend of October 21and 22, for example, MIT stu-dents were canvassing in Port-land, Maine, and Cranston,_Rhode Island; canvassers, he
