The Ad Hoe Committee onMIT's Internal InstitutionalCoammitments (the Iran Commit-tee) has just resumed meetingsafter taking no action during thesummer, according to Professorof Economics Charles Kindle-berger, chairman of the group.

The committee made a verbalreport to the faculty May 15,and expects to meet its deadlinefor a final report Oct. 15,Kindleberger said.

"We're just getting movingagain, having sat out the summerbecause of various members'absences," Kindleberger ex-plained. "We're confident of~_ _ . . . ,.,.,

Kindlebeerger said the groupwill "work pretty hard" in thenext month, going through ques-tionnaires distributed on campusto elicit opinions on MIT's for-eign programs and debating theissues among themselves.

"We've got frre to ten poundsof paper staring at us - a stackabout a foot-and-a-half tall -and we have to go through allthat before we can begin to pre-pare the report," he said.

The 9-person committee,composed of 7 faculty membersand 2 students, was formed lastspring to study MI'rs commit-ments to and agreements with

By Stephen BlattThe Lecture Series Com-

mittee ,(LSC) will begin tocharge admission to its formerlyfree lectures, in an attempt toraise funds for capital improve-ments and to offset rising costs.

The LSC Executive Com-mittee had recommended in-

creasing the price of movies to75 cents from the current 50cents but the General Com-mittee, which consists of all theLSC members, rejected this pro-posal at its regular monthlymeetingWednesday night.

LSC movie prices have beenfifty cents for the past twelve

years, but the cost of obtaininglecturers has increased tenfold."Isaac Asimov cost $150 twelveyears ago," according to oneLSC Executive Committee mem-ber, "but today he's wortharound $3000."

In addition, LSC plans toremodel the projection booth in26-100 to conform to Massachu-setts fire law. At one point lastyear, a review by state authori-ties threatened to bar moviesfrom being shown in 26-100unless a "good faith" effort toconform to standards was shown(The Tech, Nov. 1, 1974).

Other capital outlays plannedinclude the acquisition of ad-ditional 16 mm projectors toeliminate breaks for reelchanges. At present, 16 mmfilms can be shown only in10-250 without short breaks forreel changes.

At the general meetingWednesday night, it was decidedto charge admission for a con-cert by Peter Schickle featuringP.D.Q. Bach music and for alecture by sexologists WilliamMasteis and Virginia Johnson,both scheduled for the springterm. The issue of whether tocharge for the Art Buchwaldlecture Nov. 10 was left for theOctober General meeting.

Previous years' lectures haveincluded talks by DanielEllsberg, and science fiction au-thors Theodore Sturgeon andAsimov, and sessions on HumanSexuality and on the Kennedyassassinations. Last year LSC co-sponsored with the Undergrad-uate Association lectures byJohn Dean and former SenatorSam Ervin.

By David SirnonWith the retirement of Dr.

Albert G. Hill as of July 1, thenew Vice President for Researchat the Institute is Dr. Thomas F.Jones SM '40, SCD '52, formerpresident of the University ofSouth Caroliria.

Jones says he "wants to main-tain the Institue status as aleader in research." He intendsto achieve this by emphasizingresearch for society's needs fortoday and concentrating on

what will be "of the greatestrelavance for the students 20years hence."

According to these guidelines,Jones is considering starting aThermonuclear Fusion ResearchLab, to coordinate all the re-search being done in this field atthe Institute. Jones believes thatwith a "conscious plan", "apractical nuclear fusion plantcould be in operation withintwenty years."

Jones said he was disturbedabout the new goal-oriented em-phasis in federal funding forresearch.

The vice president alsotermed Sen. Proxmire's (D-Wisc.) attacks on some recenttheoretical research at MIT un-fortunate. Jones claims that"seemingly trivial projects may

-have great potential value infuture applications" and heexressed concern that "manypeople may tend to back purescientific research less."

Jones is a strong believer inthe Undergraduate Research Op-

Dean for the Graduate SchDool Kenneth R. Wadleigh

By Mik e MIsnameeThe problems -of the MIT

Graduate-: School,- from difficul-ties i: -r .e;tono ty- andwomen - stiudents.->to problems-with foreign programs, all relateto the problem new Dean for theGraduate School .Kenneth R.Wadleigh- '43 puts first on everylist - getting support for gradu-ate students.

Wadleigh, who is keeping hispost as Vice President as heassumes his new duties as Dean,returns again and again to thedifficulties of getting support forstudents - fellowships, grantsand assistantships that seemed tojust tail off in the late 1960s andhaven't returned since.

"There just isn't the big bagof support that there used tobe," he told The Tech yesterday."And so much of what you cando - especialy--in affirmativeaction, in recruiting- dependson what kind of financial aidand support you can offes stu-dents."

The Dean said that his officewas working with other Instituteofficials, especially those in theStudent Financial Aid Office, iofi£d new ways to get financialaid.

"We've been out beating thebushes, in cooperation withsome alumni and some MIT peo-ple, trying to find new fellow-ships and grant sources,"Wadleigh explained. "We've hadseveral fellowships come in 'overthe transom' because of thisexploratory work."

In addition, the Financial Aidand Graduate offices haveworked together to designatemore than $300,000 in CollegeWork/Study funds for graduatestudents, and to develop guide-lines for applying the money tostimulate jobs for graduate stu-dents. And Wadleigh 'said he isexploring the implications of arecent ruling which may havemade stipends paid to teachingassistants tax-exempt.

"We're trying to stimuhte'ac-tivity," the Dean explains. "Thisoffice won't necessarily do thesethings, but We will stimulate thedepa- saents and offerings intoexploring opportunities."

Although support plans playa large irole in Wadleigh's con-cerns -as Dean,-other areas poseproblems for the Sohtool. One of

-·the-most important of these, hesaid, is the problem of inter-national programs such as theIraniai nuclear engineering pro-gram MIT began this summer.

"MIT's foreign programs aregrowing willy-nilly, and I thinkthe support structure of theGraduate School is going to haveto be involved in that growth,"Wadleigh said. "This office willdefinitely be involved in futureconsiderations of internationalprograms."

The Iranian program,Wadleigh said, has run into dif-ficulties because of inadequatepreparation, especially in sup-port services. Difficulties havecropped up as the Iranian stu-dents have tried to find housingfor the school year after theyspent the summer in MIT gradu-ate housing.

"We have a lot to learn aboutthe planning for these programs,

-and I intend for this office to beinivolved," Wadleigh said. "Ithink with our experience wecan be useful - in a way I'd call'instructively critical'."

Wadleigh pointed out that hewas not "finding fault" with theIranian program. "This is typicalof MIT - if things didn't movequickly here, it wouldn't beMIT. The Institute has dis-covered on many programs thatthere were things that weren'tthought through. We've alwaysgot a lot to learn."

Another major programwhich Wadleigh feels he willhave to work -on is recruitingwomen and minority graduatestudents. MIT's efforts to recruitand educate such students havebeen "strong, but not entirelysuccessful," he said. "One ofMIT's problems is that the mi-nority students who have thecredentials to be admitted toMIT are attracted to the tradi-tional professions - professionslike medicine and law," he said."We have to convince them thatthe careers that MIT offers aregood careers, that they'll be ableto contribute to betterment of

their race as well as the world inan MIT-type career.

Wadleigh pointed out thatthis problem was not unique toaffirm ativfaction recruiting."It's an extreme example of theMIT recruiting problem every-where - undergraduates aswell," he said. "We have toconvince the qualified under-gads who are choosing between

foreign governments and institu-tions.

The committee's foundingwas sparked by the debate overthe MIT agreement to train up-to 54 nuclear engineers for theAtomic Energy Organization ofIran, a governmental group. Thatagreement - along with fourother programs with the govern-ment of lran reported to beunder discussion - set off awave of protest and debateabout the propriety of MIT'sso-called "foreign policy."

Since that agreement was

signed in March, unsuccessfulnegotiations between MIT andSaudi Arabia for MIT researchon development of water re-sources have been revealed anddiscussed.

Kindleberger expressed op-timism that his committeewould be successful in meetingthe charge given it by thefaculty. "The whole communityhas been very helpful andcooperative; we've gathered agreat deal of material expressingcommunity views, and I thinkwe'll be successful," he said.

Engineering isn't quite the all-comprehensive activity it used to be atMIT, but at least once a year it does get a lot of attention. Theannual 2.70 design contest, which in past years has featured the"Watergater" and other intrepidly-built devices, involves building a"Cantester" this year. The Cantester, constructed from simplematerials handed out in class, must push an opponent's machineloaded with sand up a track using only the power of a single spring.The Cantest will be at noon Oct. 21.'

(Continued from page 1)MIT and the Ivies, say, that MIToffers something valuable forthem. "

Wadleigh said that MIT's ef-forts to recruit minority under-graduates and faculty were.having an effect in increasing thepool of qualified graduate ap-plicants and in providing facultymembers for minority studentsto work with. "In graduateschool what counts is the stu-dent having a-faculty member torelate directly to - almost amentor," Wadleigh said. "We'vegot to find ways to increase thatrelationship for our minoritystudents."

Women graduate students,Wadleigh said, are "a somewhatdifferent story. There are largernumbers of them here," he ex-plained, "and while there are

still problems,-women are partand parcel of the departments -they're coming along well."

One thing that affirmative-action recruiting is partially re-sponsible for, Wadleigh said, is aslight increase in the size of thegraduate school. He said therewas no "systematic move" byMIT to increase that size of theschool, as there have been dis-cussions of doing on an under-graduate level, but that the en-rollment has fluctuated due to"programmatic reasons."

"Some programs. are up andclimbing, while others arefading," Wadleigh explained."The Energy Laboratory is up,for example, and enrollment inenergy-fields is booming. They'retalking about fusion [power] -

Occasionally, the restaurantbusiness produces a chef whosemain concern is doing thingsquickly, not simply tring to befancy without any -thought tohow or why, and not just makingmoney.

But preparing food carefully,skilfull y anr7deliciously.',

Chef Chu of the newly-openedRoyal Mandarin is just such acook. After stints at LuckyGarden and Joyce Chen- res-taurants in Cambridge, Mr. Chuand his son Richard have openedRoya; Ma ndar in in Centra ISquare, Cambridge apparently forthe purpose of doing things right.

The Mandarin is offering alarge menu of spicy Szechuan andnot-so-spicy Mandarin dishes -over a hundred in -all. Workingwith Mr. Chu to produce thedishes are two other master chefs,Lee and Chang, both trained inChina

"'V.ry often," explainsRichard Chu, "the dishes you getaround Boston are AmericanizedChinese prepared by chefs whohave never studied classic Chinesecuisine."

The Chus are breaking thepattern at Royal. Mandarin.Among Mr. Chu and his chefs,there is specialist-level expertisein Szechuan, Peking and Mandarincooking. And the foods arepreparead as they would be inChina, to the letter.

"That's not as easy as it mayseem," says Richard Chu; "Agood Chinese chef has years oftraining."

Some of the specialities atRoyal Mandarin include disheslike Sizzling Rice, Chicken inOrange Flavor, and their HouseSpecial Beef

With each dish, it is immedi-ately apparent that the ingrredi-ents are fresh and carefullycooked - not taken from a can orboiled to tastelessness.

The Sizzling Rice dish origi-nated in China during the SecondWorld War and was originally

christened "Bomb Tokyo" by itsinventors.

The dish is brought to yourtable -irn two containers - onewith the rice' and one with amelange of goodies from shrimpto beef to vegetables. The meatsand vegetables are poured overthe rice with their sauce. The rice,which is very hot, steams andcrackles dramatical ly.

With the dish cooling, the riceunifies almost like a rice cake -crisp and light - the shrimp,vegetables and so on are thegarnish on top. The rice and thetopping complement each otherwell. In- generous portions atRcyal Mandarin, the dish issatisfying and delicious.

Chicken in Orange Flavor is atraditional Szechuan dish, beingjust that: chicken in a sweet, hotorange sauce. At Royal Mandarin,you can order different degrees ofspiciness and it can come quitemild for real spice-o-ohobes.

Here, with the fresh chicken, itis very enjoyable. White riceaccompanies the dish, on the side.

Then, the House Special Beef:strips of tender beef in a mildlyspicy, but rich sauce. Not anunfamiliar or very exotic dish, butappealing in its simplicity andsplendid execution.

rT ou mignt top orr me meal atthe Royal Mandarin with adelicious small bowl of !ichee nutsand loquots over crushed ice.

For those unfamiliar withthese delicacies, lichee nuts andIoquats have a texture much like across between a peach and a pear

- not nutty, but tender andTruity. The unique sweet taste isunlike any western fruit.

The restaurant itself has beenpleasantly remodeled, with re-cessed lighting and a nice, opensense of space. It is attractivewithout being formal.

Thanks to the attentions ofChef Chu and his son Richard,Royal Mandarin is a comfortableand satisfying place to dine.

To the Editor:Question: How to make more

efficient use of the Institute'sworld renowned teaching fa-cilities." Answer: (according to Insti-tute officialdom): That one iseasy. As we see it there are anynumber of possible actions thatwill have the desired effect. A-mong them are such silly actionsas having professors teach a bitmore, and lowering the averagesize of large lectures so that atleast some interaction with thelecturer is possible. However, weof MIT are, as you very, wellknow thanks to the Institute'spublicity department, The Tech(take a deep breath for the restof the sentence) in a financialcrunch. Now that is really not sobad, though. Don't worry. Thereare ways of getting more out ofthe Tute's educational facilityand of solving at least a tiny partof the institutes monetary prob-lems at least a small bit. (Amischevious grin appears uni-formly over the faces of thegathered officials. who havebeen speaking in unison all thistime.) We are going to (dramaticpause) admit all applicants tothe class of 1980. That gives us aprojected class size of -- let's see- 2600. And according to theHousing Department and Phy-sical Plant we can house 95 percent in Institute approved hous-ing without exceeding Level 9overcrowding. Not only that butwe shall be able to give a whop-ping 65 per cent of all housedstudents cots. We have decidedto encourage sleeping together inorder to make single cots more

easily available to those who willreally need them. It's just won-derful - we've 'already ordered450 new posters on the theme.They show two stylized studentson a stylized cot in flamingorange. The caption belowreads: "If you give a damn aboutMIT, give a fuck to relieve thehousing shortage." If these areanywhere as effective as the"save energy" posters, we shouldhave a maximum utilization ofcots in a few days. With the newlecture hall 26-200 almost readyand the mirrors all set up weshall be able to teach the won-deis of the atomic bomb notonly to Iranians but toCambridge urchins as well - andwithout using any extra profes-sors in the process. (They arejust crowing now.) How's thatfor MIT efficiency. You justcan't beat it anywhere on Earth.

Mitchell Trachtenberg '78

F airness-To the Editor:

Under the current rules fresh-men are restricted in their choiceof living quarters, and thus mostof them are unconditionallyforced to live in overcrowdedconditions. I believe that anyoneold enough to go to collegeshould have freedom of choicein where he lives. The rulesshould be changed to allowfreshmen the same right as up-perclassmen, namely, .the rightto live in an apartment off cam-pus and thus to escape over-crowding.

~~~~~~~~~t l1 _ ?A.~~~~~~~~~i a li@e@eeoesse@@LUzO(I overheard the following

conversation between a FifthYear Student, a Senior, and aRecent graduate the, other day.I can't vouch for the accuracy ofwhat they 'e said - I just reportthe facts, ma'm. )

Fifth Year Student: Thisfreshman class is really weird!I've never seen anything like it!

Senior (not too' interested):Yeah?

FYS: Yeah! I was sitting out-side the Student Center today,and they were saying hi to eachother! I mean, even if theydidn't know each other, they'dwalk up to each other and say hiand start talking to each other,just like there was something todiscuss ...

Sr: You mean like they werein class?

FYS: No. they didn't talkabout gnurding - they'd askwhere they were from, and whatthey were taking, and wherethey lived, and whether theyliked MIT, and so on- it wasreally weird ...

Sr:Sounds antisocial to me- I mean a person could get introuble acting like that. Don'tthey know anything - I toldyou this class is a bunch ofturkeys. . . keeps gettingworse...

FYS: Yeah, doesn't seem likethey've learned anything or con-formed at all since they've got

here ... Say ... how do you dothat? I mean, what if someone

walked up to me tomorrow andsaid hi... what would I do?What are you supposed to do?

Sr:You turkey! You're sup-posed to say hi, or hello andthen ask him how he is.

FYS: You mean, like, "Hi!How are you?"

Sr: Y.eah 2..FYS: And then he'd say...Recent Graduate: What are

you guys talking about?FYS: The freshmen - they're

weird. They say hi and talk toeach other, even if they don'tknow each other, and they'rereal friendly - I really don't getit..

Sr: Y' ever see anything likeit?

RG: Yeah . . there was a guylike that in mY freshman. class -I think he dropped out, and thencame back. Was he the guy whocommitted suicide?

-Sr: You mean the guy whojumped off the bridge in...March, I think, yeah March 73 ..

RG: No, that guy didn't killhimself. He landed on ice. Youremember how cold it was thatyear? Jesus... The guy I'mthinking of, I think he.. no, Ireckon he wasn't the one.

Sr: Anyway - I think there'ssomething wrong. What's withthese people? It's really up-setting to have someone youdon't know come up and say hito you. What do you do? Thefirst thing, you know, the firstthing you think is what does thisguy want? Why is he saying ...

FYS: What if he says he's fineand you say you're fine too, andthen what? What do you say ...what was your mother's maidenname, what's your shirt size,

what course did you enjoy mostlast term... What do you say to

some total stranger who comes;up and says hi ...

Sr: That's what I mean -these people are dangerous. Youknow, if they kept saying hi andasking people how they are,what's going to happen?

The calculations you face require no less.Today, even so-called "non-technical" courses(psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari-ety of technical calculations-complicated cal-culations that become a whole lot easier whenyou have a powerful pocket calculator.

Not surprisingly, there are quite a few suchcalculators around, but ours stand apart, andahead. We started it all when we introduced theworld's first scientific pocket calculator back in1972, and we've shown the way ever since.

The calculators you see here are our newest,the first of our second generation. Both offer youtechnology you probably won't find in compet-itive calculators for some time to come, if ever.

Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log andtrig calculations, including rectangular/polarconversions and common antilog evaluations.

It's display is fully fonnatted, so you can choosebetween fixed decimal and scientific notation.

Our HP-25 does all that--and much, muchmore. It's programmable, which means it cansolve automatically the countless repetitiveproblems every science and engineering studentfaces.

With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokesnecessary to solve the problem only once.Thereafter, you just enter the variables andpress the Run/Stop key for an almost instantanswer accurate to I0 digits.

Before you invest in a lesser machine, by allmeans do two things: ask your instructorsabout the calculations their courses require; andsee for yourself how effortlessly our calculatorshandle them.

Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almostcertainly on display at your bookstore. If not,call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif.800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealernear you.

Police Blotter is a compilation prepared by Campus Patrol to report crimes occuring in the MITcommunity.

The Campus Police reportedthe loss of 138 motor vehiclesfrom the MIT area and thestreets in the immediate vicinity.We wish again to call to theattention that Cambridge holdsthe dubious distinction of havingthe highest per capita auto theftrate of any American municipali-ty. In the year 1974 alone, some5,283 vehicles were stolen in thiscity, which comprises only 5square miles.

Most of the stealing is carriedout by youths ranging in agefrom 12 to 22, who take cars inthe main to "joyride" -aroundtowns until the gasoline tank isempty. However, at times stolencars are used in crimes, and it isbecoming more common for sto-len cars to be "torched" - thatis, brought to some isolated spotand set ablaze, usually resultingin total destruction of the car.

You can take some simplesteps to protect yourself fromauto thieves: (1) Always lockyour car when you park it: (2)Install and use a hidden sivitch,which cuts off your _electricalcircuitry, making it impossibleto start the engine; (3) Removethe coil wire and store it in asafe' place when parking your carfor an extended period of time.This has the same effect as thehidden switch, and adds an extralayer of protection. (4) Alwayspark in well lighted areas; (5)Consider installation of an auto-matic alarm system (6) There aremany varieties of anti-theft de-vices available on the markettoday. Some are excellent,others are of poor quality. Andwhile many seem to set them-selves up as the ultimate insecurity, you should bear inmind that no system is "fool-proof". If you are at all indoubt, feel free to call the Cam-

pus Police during normal busi-ness hours, or simply stop by.We'll be glad to discuss with youthe pro's and con's of any sys-tem, device or method of mak-ing your automobile secure. (7)In- the interest of maintainingorder with the thousands ofautomobiles that constantlycome and go in the area, everystudent with a car on the -cam-pus is required to register it withthe Campus Police. While thisservice is free of charge, failureto comply results in a fine.Students driving out of state reg-

--isteresd -vehicles -are -liaAb-to_a$50.00 fine for failure to com-ply with the law.

The Campus Police extends awelcome to the new studentsand a happy return to the upper-class students. Feel free to con-tact the CP if we can be anyassistance to you.

Bicycle TheftAlong with a high rate of

auto theft, this area also has aclimbing rate of bicycle theft; infact it has become a boomingbusiness for thieves, especiallysince the advent of the 10-Speedmodels.

To counter this trend, MIThas established a constantlymonitored, centrally located bi-cycle compound in the rear ofBuilding 13. Since it was openedwe have maintained an excellentsecurity record. The 'compoundoperates from Monday throughFriday, from 7:45am to6:15pm.

Beyond this,-we urge you-to.safeguard-your .bicycle by usingheavy duty locking devices.Recently several high-quality bi-cycle locking mechanisms haveappeared on the market. In-formation on these can beobtained at our headquarters,and from most reputable bicycleoutfets. In any emergency dial1"100"

Box lacrosse will never come to Minneapolis. One look at thisstick-swinging, hard-checking sport and Gary Flakne (the DA inthe Dave Forbes case) would prosecute every player on the teamunfortunate enough to be playing the first game there.

Basically, box lacrosse is a game where two six-man teams,each player equipped with a long stick with a triangular-pocketednet on one end, try to put a small hard rubber ball into agoalie-protected 4½2 foot square net.

Standard defensive tactics include cross-checking, slashing, andchopping with the sticks, actions which may seem brutal to thehockey or field lacrosse-oriented fan.

The game is not just a violent stick-swinging feud with rubberballs flying every which way, though. Box lacrosse plays are likebasketball plays (pick and roll, give and go, fast break), due inpart to the relatively small playing area and the professional ruleof having to attempt one shot on goal at least every 30 seconds.

Penalties are called for extreme defensive tactics (box lacrosseis not "rollerball" with sticks instead of skates). Games consist ofthree 20-minute periods, with ten minutes of overtime to breakties. An average score is about 16-14, which takes care of anycomplaints about lack of scoring (soccer and hockey, forexample).

The Boston Bolts, the local entry in the two-year-old NationalLacrosse League, having finished third in regular season play, arepresently engaged in a semifinal playoff series against theMontreal Quebecois, with the survivor (no pun intended) to facethe Long Island-Quebec winner for the league championship.

Last Monday night I saw the fourth game of the series, whichBoston won, 17-14, using a hard-checking defensive strategy anda fast break offense. Montreal built up an early 9-3 lead bybouncing off most of the Bolts' defensive work and waiting foropenings, but the effort gradufally drained the Quebecois andBoston ripped off seven goals in eight minutes to take the lead.Boston's continued rough play (aided by the officials' apparentunwillingness to call penalties) propelled them to the victory.

Aficionados of hockey, basketball, or field lacrosse should findsome aspect of box lacrosse that appeals to their favorite sport,while others interested in fast, violent, high-scoring games shouldenjoy the game as well. As the Bolts are not well-known yet,tickets are always available. The Bolts' next home game (at BostonGarden) will be either Sunday night against Montreal or later nextweek against Long Island or Quebec City.

As for Boston's other playoff-bound team (perhaps), beforethe local sportswriters start picking Fred Lynn as World SeriesMVP, let us remember the 1964 Phillies, who blew a 6l2-gamelead with ten to play. I personally don't think the Sox will followthis act (although they've made some fine efforts in the past), butI'll only breath a sigh of relief when Boston holds a three-gamelead with two to play, or something like that.

Finally, since everyone else is doing it, here's my prediction:Notre Dame 28, Boston College 20. I don't think BC has enoughto beat the Irish, but they should impress many doubters of thequality of Eastern major college football.

Alessi namedsoccer coach

By Glenn BrownsteinWalter Alessi, who led MIT's

varsity lacrosse team to a 3-9record last year, snapping a28-game Engineer losing streakin the process -has been named'varsity soccer coach at MIT. Hereplaces Bill Morrison, who wasfired last spring after nineseasons at the Engineer helm.

Coach Alessi starred onMassachusetts' lacrosse teamfrom. 1965 to 1968, achievingAll-New England and All-American honors in 1968. Thatsame year, he was named to theNorth team that defeated theSouth 9-8 in the annual colle-giate all-star game.

After serving four years in theNavy, Alessi spent one yearteaching and coaching at SaintGeorges' School in Newport,R.I. and then two and one-halfyears at Westwood High Schoolin Westwood, Mass.

Although Alessi has no inter-collegiate soccer coaching ex-perience, he had not coachedlacrosse on that level either be-fore coming to MIT last year.

Aless_'s task is to try to bringMIT its first winning soccerseason in 13 years with most ofthe personnel returning from1974's dismal 1-10-2 squad. Thereturn of top defensive halfbackPaul Fernandez '76, out formost of last season with injuries,should make Alessi's job a littleeasier.

The new soccer coach willmake his debut when MIT scrim-mages Bowdoin tomorrow. TheEvgineers will then face Clark inanother pre-season contestTuesday before opening theregular campaign against arch-rival Harvard (MIT lost 1-0 tothe Crimson in 1973 and 1974)at Soldiers Field Wednesdayafternoon, September 24.
