MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Friday, March 7, 1969 .. Five Cents

.9By Harvey Baker

The Selective Service System hascut sharply into the enrollment ofMIT's graduate schools, Irwin Sizer,Dean of the Graduate School, noted inan interview a few days ago. In fact, hepointed out, MIT has lost about 600graduate students in the last year forreasons directly or indirectly related tothe draft and the students' fear of it.

Background. information on theproblem shows that all graduate schooldeferments with the exception of thosefor students in medical school werecancelled in the Draft Act of July 1,1967. In addition, punitive clauseswere added to the 2-S deferment whichstate that the deferred student is liablefor the draft until age thirty-five; hecannot claim a 3-A fatherhood defer-ment should he become a father, andno matter what his actual age upongraduation from college, he is to beplaced in the prime age group for thedraft. The prime age group is defined as"the age group from which selectionsfor induction into the Armed Forcesare first to be made after delinquentsand volunteers."

College grads draftedIt is primarily as a result of this

restriction that college graduates areunable to continue their education.Consequently, whereas about a yearand a half ago, among draftees non-college graduates outnumbered collegegrads about 25-1, today the ratio is.down to a frightening 2-1 and is stillmoving in the same direction. -ThusMIT, like other graduate schools, is.being bereaved of its potential stu-dents.

"Only more so," says Dean Sizerthough. Over recent years, MIT hasbeen consistently increasing the size ofits entering graduate class by five percent. This past year, desiring the sameincrease, in order to reckon with theeffect of the draft, the school over-admitted its entering class, hoping thatafter a small percentage had been lostto tne S.S;, the desired five per centincrease would still materialize. How-ever, the latest statistics show that, infact, total enrollment as of Feb. 1969is actually down 5.9%o as compared tothis same period last year. Thus thepercentage difference between desiredincrease and actual increase is abouteleven per cent In reality though, thegrad school, with an enrollment ofabout 3000 has actually been hit har-der than just this figure would tend toindicate.

Ruina qi

Grad school losesEarlier this year, each department

was asked how many students itthought it had lost due to the draft.1he total for all 23 departments was600. The reason for this increasedfigure is that some students opt toleave school to take jobs which theyknow will guarantee them 2-A occupa-tional deferments rather than run therisk of going to graduate school andbeing drafted. Hence, contrary to whatone might have expected, the Human-ities departments. have not been re-duced in size too much, while theSchool of Engineering has been reallyscrewed, dropping from 1608 studentsin September 1967 to a level of 1376students in February 1969.

In general, the Dean and the Grad-uate School as a whole are very unhap-py about the large loss of students, notjust for reasons relative-to MIT, butbecause as Dean Sizer put it, 'It is notin the national interest." He explainedas follows. Contrary to what manypeople believe, most graduate studentsdo not go on to take jobs in industry orgovernment, but in fact over 60% ofthem go into university or high schoolteaching.

With the population explosion andthe increasing number of students moreand more high quality teachers areheeded. If these graduate students axeremoved to the Army, undergraduatesand high school students will suffertoo.

Students loseOnce a student is drafted into the

Armnned Services'for two years, onlyseldom does he return to school to pickup where he left off, for by now he istwo years older, possiblymarried, pos-sibly has children, and probably wantsand needs a job. A return to school toobtain a masters or doctorate may notbe desirable or possible. Besides, theDean added, science is changing so fasttoday, that in the period during whichtwo years have elapsed, the studentmight have fallen irreparably far be-hind. Summing it all up, he said, '"Thepresent draft law is vicious in terms ofits long range applications."

By Jay KuninAlthough Kresge Auditorium was

continually filled, research at the Insti-tute did not seem to be severely crip-pled Tuesday.

A survey made by The Tech indi-cated business was about 'normal inmost laboratories contacted. Labora-tory heads seemed to feel that therewas no great exodus to Kresge duringthe day, although in many cases peoplespent an hour or two at the activities inaddition to their work. In one case(Instrumentation Laboratory), the pro-posed work stoppage had so littleeffect that no real count was taken.

Regardless of their effect upon re-search, the panels drew considerableaudiences. Chairing a discussion groupconcerning "The Responsibilities of In-tellectuals" Monday night, ProfessorFrancis Low of the Physics Departmentopened with what could be consideredthe focal point of all the panels plan-ned for this week: "Pure research isgood, but we may not remain uncon-cerned with the consequences of ourwork." Professor NoamChomsky of the Department of Mo-dern Languages and Linguistics nextspoke of a person's responsibilities "forthe foreseeable consequences of hisacts and his failure to act," and des-cribed the Defense Department as a"last resort" for engineers, adding, "solong as the ABM subsidizes industry itdoesn't really matter whether or not itworks." Professor Victor Weiskopfnoted that "it -is important to haveintelligent scientists in influential posi-

March 4 itself began with a dis-cussion on "reconversion and non-

(D-Cal.), Professor George Wald of Har-vard, Father Anthony Mullaney of the"Milwaukee 14", and other speakersconcerning themselves with relatedtopics.

After additional students tookout petitions, Evans withdrew, only tore-enter Monday, evening after recon-sideration.

Michael Albert, the other write-incandidate, entered the race Wednesdayafternoon. He isrunning on a platformof support for the SACC proposals, theBlack Student Union proposals, andacademic reform. Albert has beenactive in Resistance and the Ad hocCommittee for Change, a student groupworking on the Institute requirements.

By Joseph KashiThe Nixon Administration's deci-

sion to begin deployment of the Sen-tinal ABM system was criticized Tues-day by Dr. Jack Ruina, in charge ofspecial research at MIT, including theLincoln Lab's ABM-oriented projects.

Dr. Ruina, Vice President in chargeof Special Laboratories, termed theABM deployment a mistake, for it doesnot offer an acceptable amount ofprotection for the cost involved.

Dr. Ruina noted that this was thefirst time that Congress and the publicever questioned the need for an entiremilitary project. Previously criticswould focus upon certain aspects of aproject, but never question the wisdomof its implementation. He considerscontroversy a healthy sign of a nationalre-evaluation.

The Sentinal system is designed toprovide a thin coverage of the con-tinental U.S. In order to provide rea-sonable confidence in an ABM system,It. Ruina believes that the U.S. wouldhave to spend an amount far in excessof what the Russians would spend forthe penetration devices needed to nul-lify the ABM system. In addition,

quoting-a study by former DefenseSecretary McNarnara, he stated that the"quality of defense must become al-most air-tight for it to be effective."

'The cost of overcoming Sentinalwuuld be small in comparison to thecost of deploying it." For this reason,Dr. Ruina believes that Sentinal is"hardly worth the cost". He noted thatit would be very hard to find a situa-tion in which an unproven ABM systemwould be a deterent to Russia or China.Thus, it would be a serious error forthe U.S. to embark upon the presentlyproposed thin system.

However, Dr. Ruina stated that it isimperative that the U.S. continue todevelop ABM technology. He is con-vinced that if the U.S. does not con-tinue ABM research, the fear caused byour lack of knowledge of other ad-vances in the field would prompt theU.S. escalate the arms race. Inaddition, there is a stability of nuclearforce and deterrence between the U.S.and Kussia. A first strike now is un-attractive , as either country wouldsuffer greatly from the second-strikecapability of the other.

Daniel WienerAt this supremely critical moment

in the history of the universe, I feel itimcumbent upon myself to step for-ward and heroically save MIT (and,indirectly, the human race) from thefollies of student government. I do nottake this action lightly, involving as itdoes at least a temporary renunciationof my sacred vow of apathy. However,even I occasionally feel some residualconcern for the outside world. Studentgoventment constantly does nothing,which is of course what it is expectedto do. If it did so honestly and withoutbothering anyone, I would have nocomplaint. It is the recent sordid at-tempts to pretend that student govern-ment should do something: and, worse,that if only its structure was shiftedaround that it could do something, thathave raised the disgust level beyond thelimits of toleration.The time has cornmfor the undergraduate student body tobreak the shackles that have for toolong bound it; to rise up and smite thisevil Undergraduate Association so thatfuture generations at MIT might live inpeace. It is for such a crusade that Inow offer my leadership by running forUAP. We must raze the structure ofstudent government to the ground,wipe it out utterly, destroy it so totallythat never in all the future eons of theInstitute will it ever again be able tobecome a menace.

How to preserve this liberty for ourposterity is a difficult question. Con-

tuition are only a few of the issueswhich concern us every day, and theUAP should seek to have the studentsfees he is concerned with and con-fronting these issues daily.

FULL-TIME JOB: How is he goingto accomplish this? Above all, he musthimself be active, and I propose thatthe next UAP make his post a full-timejob. I recommendthat he carry only 24hours of acadenic work, getting ano-ther 24 hours through existing SpecialTopics courses, e.g. 17.71, 21.392.

Second, however, our full-time UAPmust be capable of mobilizing others,both within and without student gov-ernment. The proposed "HAC" consti-tution will allow him to internalize

fers. Another commission could investi-gate alternatives to erratic tuition leaps(I myself advocate more gradual riseswhich could be applied annually, butonly to entering students.)

TASK FORCES BY STUDENTSTOO: Similarly, student government(and the UAP) should not continuallyabdicate to faculty "task forces" onsuch topics as curriculum reform. TheUAP could appoint his own task forceto conduct hearings (which would-pro-bably be better attended) and submitits own reccomendation. Instead of thefragmented proposals-which we wit-nessed last month, there would be onereport which would carry the fullprestige of the student body.

The key to increasing student influ-ence on faculty decisions is not acquir-ing a seat here and a seat there onfaculty committees (who will select thestudents?) but the development of so-ber, respected parallel authority. Com-missions and task forces are two me-thods of mobilizing such authority.

THEUNCOMFORTABLE UAP:Finally, the next UAP must be uncom-fortable with the minor problemswhich nevertheless set the atmosphereof a place. Maybe he can by his merepersistence replace the bulbs in thestudent center elevators, place woodencomfortable benches in McDermottCourt near the Great Sail rejuvenateWalker Memorial's office space, or doany of the thousand other things thatare now ignored.

At the same time, the next UAPmust aboveiall not act in any manner(e.g. '"laming') that might serve tojeopardize his own legtimacyand credi-bility.

I am talking of a new type of UAP.Another Maria, another Horvitz, oreven another March will not do. Thenext UAP must be a political leaderrather than a bureaucrat or one-trackidealist. In the next week I will endorsethe opponent whofn I feel comes clos-est to being that kind of UAP

Steve LoebI want to construct a student gov-

ernment for improvement of the edu-cational and extracurricular aspects ofundergraduate life at MIT. I believe thispossible if students in government takeconcrete 'action, rather than usestudent government as a plaything. Thepreferable merhanism for this, theUnified University proposal, in, itselfwill not assure a viable and productivestructure. It depends, critically, uponthe initiatives taken by the individualsinvolved in elective position.

It is my aim that student govern-ment exist to assist all formal andinformal student activities, be theyrecognized at present or exist as ad hoccommittees. For too long the studentgovernment at MIT has been structuredto mold the interests of students into

tinual vigilance, founded upon the solidframework of dynamic indifference,must be the principle that guides us.The agency for doing this must be ofsuch a nature as to make it inherentlyimpossible that it might ever take onthe characteristics of that from whichit is supposed to protect us. It musthave no money, no power, and aboveall, no pretense of efficacy. After longand careful consideration (approx-imately two minutes staring intospace), I have decided that electing ahereditary monarch will be the mosteffective method of achieving this goal.Observe the resulting advantages: By

. electing a monarch we appear to be· bowing to. the currently fashionable

"democracy" 'fad, thus placating thegreat unwashed multitudes. By makingthemonarchy hereditary and for life,.we simultaneously remove it fromthose obvious dangers and pressuresemanating from a democratic rabble.And at the end of every school year wesymbolically assassinate the king bytossing him in the Charles, thus resolv-ing the previous paradox while pro-viding a useful outlet for the pent-upenergies and frustrations and fears ofthe average Tech tool. History hasshown that monarchs can fulfill thefigurehead function quite well and quiteharmlessly. By acting now, boldly andcourageously, secure in the knowledgeof the justice of oui cause, to vote forme on March 13, the students at MITcan cure forever the student govern-nient cancer in their midst, and thejudgement of history shall inevitablyread: "This was their finest hour."'

Jim SmithAlthough my name is on the ballot

or UAP, I have for all intents andpurposes withdrawn from that race. I·. ::hall, nevertheless, use this invitation toexpress what I feel the next UAPshould be like and the issues I thinkmust be raised.

LEGITIMACY: The first task ofthe next UAP will be to restore thelegitimacy of his office in the eyes of usstudents. The most immediate methodof doing so is, simply, to concentrateon the direct interests of the stu-dents-and to do so quite visibly.

The curriculum, commons, theprices in the Tech COop, grades and

t

~~~~~~~~~~~..Jinert, formalized activities with per-manent status.

The recent proliferation of ad hoccommittees in the fields of living stan-dards, pass-fail registration and re-quired commons, circumventing theexisting student government, attests tothe significance and need for govern-ement to assist such activities through:

1. Common, available publicity fa-cilities- the undergraduate associationowns an offset press which would be ofgreat use to anyone wishing to do a lotof publicity work. This press, which ispresently in the LSC office and therebyinaccessable to most people, should bemoved to a room in which it can beused by all.

2. Fair and equitable scheduling offacilities- the facilities on this campusfor meetings, theater events and filmsare in very. short supply. Thfls thestudent government should press foradded space as well as try to maximizethe use of the available facilities.

3. Financing- the undergradu:ateassociation has a budget of over$90,000. This money is for use instudent activities. Thus, I believe Fi-nance Board should hold open meet-ings on the matters it considers. Thesehearings would allow students to ex-press their opinions and ask questionsab'iouith e llocation of fimances. ...

4. Publication of a weekly news;2

letter- student organizations on thiscampus have a sufficient number ofactivities to warrant the publication ofa newsletter that lists these eventsalong with .descriptions, similar innature to the Institute Calendar. If thedelay for publication was two days,then more events of interest could beincluded.

5. Committee to deal with studentproblems- I would create a specialcommittee, to consist of the UAP, theUAVP, and the Chairman of the Activi-ties Council, the Finance Board, andthe Secretariat, to aid any under-graduate or undergraduate organizationin the solution of a problem. Thesepeople will be in touch with the admin-

such committees as SCUP and SCE,having them consist ot voting Assem-blymen as well as staff workers.

STUDENT COMMISSIONS: Stan-ding committees, however, are poormeans of dealing with the ad hocproblems which confront us or willarise. On such matters (commons, tui-tion, etc.) the UAP should take thelead in coordinating and mobilizingstudent power. From among the verycompetent management students atMIT, the UAP could appoint "blue-rib-bon" commissions (with academiccredit) to do the research for him. Thecommission's report (like that of aWhite House commission) could thenmerely be edited and released by theUAP, and thus given the full authorityof the student body.

trenching our racist attitudes; we mustnot give out implicit support to policieswhich are racist in nature. If theInstitute adopts a racist policy it isinfringing on me as well as on theBlacks. It is forcing me to accept arelationship which is unnatural anddetrimental to me and of course theBlacks. My stand on the implement-ation of the BSU demands is identicalto my stand on the implemei:ntation ofthe SACC proposals. In addition myplatform includes the implementationof a program parallel to that developedby the Blacks but focused around thegrievances of other exploited groups.One aspect of such an approach wouldbe a recruitment program in Cam-bridge, South Boston, and the NorthEnd.

My views on academic reform are inthe report of the Ad Hoc Committeefor Change, which I had a large part inwriting.

The housing crisis - high rents, andpoor and insufficient housing for theresidents of Cambridge - is in partcaused by the refusal of MIT andHarvard to build sufficient housing fortheir students. A number of The Techarticles have made this point clear. MIT

istration and will know what channels; should be used for the quickest pos-sible action.

1, therefore, feel that student gov-ernment can be meaningful; if it is heldat a minimum, takes concrete action onissues, and is responsive to studentneeds.

Jolm HeadThe aim of the Undergraduate Asso-

ciation President should be to haveparticipatory student governmentbased on living group affiliations. Acrucial problem of student governmentis the inability of interested people towirk and to express their opinions onissues that directly concern them. Anystudent who wishes to spend timeworking on educational policy reformshould be a member of SCEP. Theprocess of electing people to studentcommittees only discourages studentparticipation.

Parallel student and faculty com-mittees with students selecting studentsto represent them should be encoraged.Dialogue between students and facul-ty-administration has to be increased.Only then will student governmentwork toward genuine community go-vernment.

Living group government is verystrong and active compared to Institutestudent goverunent. Institute govern-ment should deal only With problemsthat cross living group affiliations suchas discussions on student-faculty deal-ings.,

r aI. ¢:,.

Harold FederowIn the coming year student govern-,

ment will face two major problems.The first will be to implement the newform of student government chosen in'the referendum.

It will not be sufficient to merelyset up the structures. In the past, it hasoverly concerned itself with such pettydetails and lost itself in irrelevance. Itwill be the task of the UAP to see thatissues that come before the governmentfor discussion should be relevant to thelife of the students - the entrance ofstudents to faculty meetings, forexample, could have been debatedprior to the actual vote of the faculty.

It is only by making the studentswho comprise the government, as wellas their constituency, see that theissues being discussed are relevant totheir lives, then the student governm-ment will be able to avoid the chargesof being useless and irrelevant

The second problem to be faced istaking advantage of the increasedwillingness cf the faculty and adminis-tration to involve students in the policymaking process. In the past year, wehave seen students on several commit-tees where previously there.were nomeans at all for student input. I wouldlike to continue this trend. I would liketo see a provision for at least studentobservers, if not voting members, atmeetings of the Academic Council,which is the top policy making groupat the Institute.

The. main choice facing the studentswill be that of leadership. InstituteCommittee was allowed to die this yearby a lack of leadership on the part ofthe UAP. To get any kind of viableform, it is essential that the UAP be aperson who is willing to lead and totake the.initiative in guiding studentgovernment where it should go so thatthe new student government does notdie before it has a chance to live.

Student government administers abudget of about $100,000. One of the

first things that should be done is totake a look at the priorities used toallocate moneys.

In the coming year, I hope to beworking to implement the above goalsand to convince students that in factstudent government is not irrelevant totheirlives, and can influence their,livesprofoundly.

· :..~-'-~',~,*, " > " , : . ,-;

as student government is concerned, I feel that such groups as Dormcon, theIFC, class governments, SCEP,SCE,AEB,and Finboard, should besomewhat autonomous, self-perpetuating groups. The function ofInscomm as a 'ruling' body is notnecessary. In fact, Inscomm itself is not.necessary as long as there is some sortof representative Executive Committee,possibly elected at large by the student body, to arbitrate conflicts between the above groups.

I do not feel that any of the threereferendum proposals will completelysolve the problems they were designedto solve.

Edward BarsaThe time has come for a change.

Student government at MIT is finallymaking the long-awaited change in itsstructure. But this should not be the'sole source of modification. Far toooften candidates for the office of UAPhave been the stereotyped student poli-tician who claims to have a completeoverview of the Institute and his ownsolution to virtually every problem.Now that the decision has been madeto start afresh, it would be best to alterthe character of the position of UAP.With this in mind, we set out in searchof a new type of student leader, anaverage student. We sought someonewho was personable and subtlycharismatic without being oppressiveand obnoxious, and in so doing, wefound our man-Easy Ed Barsa.

Having never run for any politicaloffice, Easy Ed has not been spoiled-bya gluttonous desire for power. All hewould like to see is an effective studentgovernment striving to meet the needsof its undergraduate population. Eddoes not feel that the cumbersomeburden of endless trivia which was thealbatross about the neck of many aformer UAP should remain the singularresponsibility' of the next student ex-ecutive. It is our desire to recreate thisoffice in the form of an executive-amanager of student government, a bro-ker of responsibility.

It is with this thought that wewould like to propose an addtionalmeasure of innovation to the nextgovernmental system at MIT. We be-lieve that the UAP should be assistedby a five-man cabinet composed ofindividuals chosen at his discretion.These students would share the burdenof the office, possibly with specificduties. The cabinet would be easilyaccessible to anyone and the ever-serious problem of communicationwould be at least somewhat lessened.These individuals would also constitutea quasi-ombudsman and could enableth'e bureaucracy of student governmentto function more freely. We believethat this plan fits well into the Unified

i;' -%''"x- 11 ': 9 , '';it42 j.'/ ' ,-

University proposal (HAC) which westrongly endorse on its own merits.

Thus we hope that you will agreewith us that the nel era of studentgovernment commencing at this timeshould also mark the start of a newtype of student leader and that EasyEd Barsa is the type of individual whoshould serve you in this capacity, forthe purpose of student government toto serve you, the students.

The implementation of a programlike SACC's is long overdue. The ad-ministration should administer the de-cisions of the students and faculty. Ifthey do not respond to our deci§ions,as registered by petitions and discus-sions, we will be forced to determinenew strategies.

The decision to run for Under-graduate Association President is notan easy one: you have to feel that youhave a reasonable amount of ex-perience in a variety of areas, that youknow enough people in all livinggroups, including NRSA, to understandat least some of their problems, andmost importantly, that you have thetime to devote to do a good job (atleast 30 hours a week).

Where do I stand? When decisionsare being made concerning students'educations and students' lives, veryoften students are not there to offertheir own insights as to what problemsexist and where possible solutionsmight lie. I have worked, and wish to

Once a program were formula-ted by the proposed committee, theextent of student support for it woulddetermine the type of tactics whichwould be employed by the studentgovernment in seeking to implement it.

strong Public Relations Committeeand/or Secretariat and/or The Tech areneeded to help publicize to studentswhat decisions are being made, who ismaking them, and when these peopleare meeting to discuss such issues. Inrelation to this, I feel that The Techshould be delivered free to all students,thereby increasing both its circulationand its ability to communicate infor-niation and issues. I am aware of theproblems involved in doing this, but Ithink these problems can be overcome.

I also believe that it is necessary tohave student representatives on allfaculty and administration committeeswhich are responsible for making de-cisions having an effect on students. ido not feel that students should S0%voting power, I only feel that we needa voice in our affairs that is heard andrespected.

In conjunction with the studentrepresentatives, I also feel that it isnecessary to have wholly studentgroups both discussing student issuesand handling student problems. As far

THE TECHf_, .'PAGE 4 FRIDAY, MARCH 7,1969

History will no doubt record onlytwo official versions of what occurredin Chicago during the Democratic Con-vention. This is unfortunate, for theWalker Report and Norman Mailer arecertainly not up to the standard of athird publication put out by the Amer-ican Civil Liberties Union.

Tided "Law and Disorder", theACLU report claims to not expoundany philosophy which would representthe beliefs of that organization. Ins-tead, the editor has produced a collage-of articles by eyewitnesses and otherconcerned individuals, ranging fromHuntley and Brinkley to Hugh Hefner.In terms of coverage, it manages to givethe essential details without becomingbogged down by the weight of statisticsor quoted reports. It is interesting tonote, for example, in perusing theWalker Report that each night readslike a slightly modified version of thenight before. The ACLU avoids this byreporting more on specific incidentsand less on historical overview.

Mailer, on the other hand, is dis-appointing to a large degree. Claimingto have "covered" the demonstrations,it quickly becomes apparent that dur-ing most of the action; he was either inhis room or in one of the local bars.The difference between his coveragesof Miami and Chicago is that in the

: former, the action was in those places.Such was not the case, however, inChicago.

The Walker Report, while it wasperhaps slightly hard on the police,

Today is the day that all the big black Cadillaclimousines pull up in front of 77 MassachusettsAvenue and crowd around Kresge. The averagestudent will look once and continue on to class. Hemay or may not know that the MIT Corporation isin town for its quarterly meeting.

Who are these men who come to Cambridge fortheir meeting in Kresge and then exit, laughing andtalking in groups of four-and six to eat lunch in theStudent Center? Are they people who were studentsat the Institute long ago? Are they leaders of themilitary-industrial complex who make nasty wea-pons and kick little children? Are they, in the wordsof the catalog, "distinguished leaders of science,engineering, industry and education?" Are theypeople who care deeply about the Institute and thepeople who work here? Are they "legitimate?" Itseems to us that they are a little of all these andmore besides.

From a functional standpoint, the Corporationhas enormous power over the Institute which itgenerally delegates to its Executive Committee, thefaculty, and the administration. If it chooses to do

so, the Cooration can be an effective "outside"influence which can overcome inertia and resistanceto needed changes in the Institute.

While most Corporation visiting committees dothe best they can in the limited time they have, theyare not accessible to a large number of people on aregular basis. It seems to us thai it might bedesirable to have a member of the Corporation oncampus who did not have a large number ofadministrative tasks to concern him. Although mostmembers of the Corporation are very busy withother work, a retired member might find it stimula-ting and worthwhile to spend time talking to manypeople on campus as an unofficial ombudsman forthe MIT community. An independent participant-inthe solving of the Institute's problems, he wouldhave no administrative duties. He would thus be anaccessible member of the power structure whowould be freer than the overworked administrationto promote innovations. He might bring- new andindependent views into many discussions. Anytakers, gentlemen?

gave entirely too much weight to suchistatistics as injuries to individual police-men, while not giving nearly thatamount of attention to demonstratorinjuries. The lack of concrete figureswould not have prevented publication

:of lists of estimates by the variousorganizations involved. This sort ofdetail is presented' for the policemen incompact form in one of the appen-dices; however, no such 'effort wasmade for the demonstrators, who un-doubtedly suffered many more injuriesthan did the police.

It is interesting to notice that theACLU report. gave accounts of oneincid6nt, which neither Mailer nor Wal-ker's committee found, involving asquad of black policemen in LincolnPark who were apparently movingfreely in the crowd in an effort to keepthings cool. The ACLU reports that.this group was moderately successful,but that they withdrew when the whitepolice arrived. Although it is neverexplicitly stated, the reader is left withthe distinct impression that there was abattle plan (so to speak) drawn upwhich would first lull the demonstra-tors into a sense of security, thenattack them. This is, of course, only animpression.

For anyone desirng a momento ofthe Chicago Convention, I would re-

commend with Walker or the ACLU.Mailer seems to be hung up on the ideaof the "novel as history" and in theprocess loses sight of the novel as aninteresting piece of reading or art form.

factors have be.aome increasinglyevident to me- the present crisis instudent government (this observation isnot particularly acute) and, perhapsmore tragically, the lack of sensitivityto this fact in those offering themselvesup for various important offices. Itseems that most of the people whom Ihave spoken with, who are candidatesfor vanious offices, are more interestedin the offices then in actually doingsomething. I say this because I havefound people in student government

just as petty and backward as MIT'sadnfinistration is sometimes criticizedas being. These people come to yousaying, "Sign my petition." They areall ready to fit right into the presentway of doing things as long as they canbe on some Executive Committee.

they have enough "friends" and thatthe dorm or IFC will vote for them.

I have no definite solutions to theabove problems, and perhaps there arenone; i.e., that -the characteristics ofstudents result naturally in the morass

A numberof possible villians are given - NgoDinh Diem, Curtis LeMay, Mark Clark,Madame Nhu - and there is even astretch featuring the ubiquitous JoeMcCarthy. The film presents a clearer,less emotional opinion on the war thanany other of recent years. The filmdoes not use emotion-ridden propagan-da shots of American Knights-errantgallantly saving a poor ignorant popula-tion, or dead Vietnamese, but letspeople who are directly involved withthe war speak.

Kenneth Langdon of the State De-partment under Roosevelt describes thememo in which FDR stated his inten-tion to prevent the French return toIndochina after World War Il. ProfessorPaul Mus of Yale talks about hismeeting with Ho Chi Minh as a rep-resentative of the French government.Mark Clark states at a press conferencethat he wouldn't trade one dead Amer-ican for fifty dead Chinamen.

By Robert FourerPretty Pokson is a modest attempt

at making an interesting, intelligentthriller-one where the charactersaren't stereotypes, the situations aren'tpredictable, and the surprise ending isreally a surprise. Such attempts beingas rare as they are, this alone would beenough to recommend it. However,while originality does eventually bringsuccess, it's not without some problemsalong the way.

On the better side, to begir with,the story line is at least undeniablyoriginal. The film's central character, ayoung man, has just been released onprobation after several years' detentionas a juvenile delinquent. As soonbecomes clear, he- is unable to acceptthe idea of being an ordinary laborer;he fancies he's a CIA agent, working toprevent the pollution of the nation'sentire water supply. His self-scofidencein this assumed role soon attracts atten-tion, especially that of a flirtatious highschool-age gil fascinated by his terse,mysterious instructions. He in turnbecomes increasingly attached to her,and begins to incorporate her into hisschemes.

Surprising character changesTo describe things further would

ruin the effect. However, it may be saidthat neither character ends up what heappears to be in the beginning, and thedifferences are shocking indeed. Theplot resolution, as well, is clever: it

avoids an ordinary cops and robberschase finale, and keeps attention whereit belongs-on the character develop-ment. As always, changes in people aremore frightening than changes in theirsurroundings.

Unfortunately, however, the exposi-tion of these changes is often erratic,mainly because the narration has nopoint of view. Were it centered aroudthe young man, the truth could berevealed naturally as -he realized it.Instead, facts turn up haphazardly, sothat at first one might be led to inter-pret things the wrong way, or formsympathies, especially with the girl,that later prove unfounded. As a result,the build-up is usually more perplexingthan tense, and the film only becomesreally impressive when it's over, and

everything can finally be sorted out.Treatment sloppy

Furthermore, many routine mattersare treated sloppily. While the plot as awhole is consistent enough to bebelievable, some details are left annoy-ingly contradictory or unexplained. Inaddition, there is nothing very clevercinematically-only the stock scenesand camera tricks. -It's the attention todetail that makes a film great; thisone's creators were obviously aimingfor something less.

Still, as enjoyable and moderatelystimulating entertainment, PrettyPoison is a good deal better than mostof what else has been able to fight itsway to Boston, especially among thosethat aren't expensive big deals. More ofthe same would be welcome.

but it is much more. The film iscoherent, the camera work is excellent.The acting is by real people, which isfar superior to reconstruction of actualevents by professional actors. Emile deAntonio, who did the great film of theMcCarthy hearings Point of Order usedthe same technique, letting importantfacts speak for themselves without edi-torial comment. It is just as effectiveon Vietnam as it was on McCarthy.

Viewers will disagree about theviewpoint that comes out of the movie,for there is a viewpoint. Since no onethese days talk's about Vietnam inobjective terms, it would be unreason-able to expect filmmakcers to be anydifferent from the rest of the popula-tion. The greatest quality of the film,though, is thle openess it leaves todiscussion- discussion based on logicand a knowledge of recent historywhich, hopefully, is what the Paristalks are all about It -is highly xecom-mended to see the filin, preferably wvitha friend or group of friends with whomyou can take up the loose ends of thefilm and, discuss the points raied.Discussion is the prime purpose ofdocumentary, and it is admirably ful^filled by de Antonio in The Year of thePig.

Unfortunately, however, the exposi-tion of these changes is often erratic,mainly because the narration has nopoint of view.

Pretty Poison is a modest attemptat making an interesting, intelligentthriller-one where the charactersaren't stereotypes, the situations aren'tpredictable, and the surprise ending isreally a surprise. Such attempts beingas rare as they are, this alone would beenough to recommend it. However,while originality does eventually bringsuccess, it's not without some problemsalong the way.

On the better side, to begirt with,the story line is at leas; undeniablyoriginal. The film's central character, ayoung man, has just been released onprobation after several years' detentionas a juvenile delinquent. As soonbecomes clear, he is unable to acceptthe idea of being an ordinary laborer;he fancies he's a CIA agent, working toprevent the pollution of the nation'sentire water supply. His self-confidencein this assumed role soon attracts atten-tion, especially that of a flirtatious highschool-age girl fascinated by his terse,mysterious instructions. He in turnbecomes increasingly attached to her,and begins to incorporate her into hisschemes.

Treatment sloppyFurthermore, many routine matters

are treated sloppily. While the plot as awhole is consistent enough to bebelievable, some details are left annov-ingly contradictory or unexplained. Inaddition, there is nothing very clevercinematically-only thte stock scenesand camera tricks. It's the attention todetail that makes a film great; thisone's creators were obviously aimingfor something less.

Still, as enjoyable and moderatelystimulating. entertainment, PrettyPoison is a good deal better than mostof what else has been able to fight itsway to Boston, especially among thosethat aren't expensive big deals. More ofthe same would be welcome.

By Mike MillerIn the Year of the Pig is an interest-

'ing title. It carries oriental overtones ofthe Confucianist calendar, and is alsoslightly derogatory. The question thatis left at the end of the film is: whomdoes it intend to denigrate? A numberof possible villians are given - NgoDinh Diem, Curtis' LeMay, Mark Clark,Madame Nhu - and there is even astretch featuring the ubiquitous JoeMcCarthy. The film presents a clearer,less emotional opinion on the war thanany other of recent years. The filmdoes not use emotion-ridden propagan-da shots of American Knights-errantgallantly saving a poor ignorant popula-tion, or dead Vietnamese, but letspeople who are directly involved withthe war speak.

Kenneth Langdon of the State De-partment under Roosevelt describes thememo in which FDR stated his inten-tion to prevent the French return toIndochina after World War II. ProfessorPaul Mus of Yale talks about hismeeting with Ho Chi Minh as a rep-resentative of the French governmentMark Clark states at a press conferencethat he wouldn't trade one dead Amer-ican for fifty dead Chinamen. MadameNhu decries the burning of the Budd-hist monks as action instigated by theAmericans. More and more people talk- Harrison Salisbury of the New YorkTimes, John Foster Dulles, RichardNixon, Lyndon Johnson. SenatorThurston Morton tells of the secretmeeting held during the battle of DienBien Phu where Admiral Radford advo-cated immediate deployment of allavailable forces to aid the Frencheffort.

Mostly factThe greatest portion of the film is

fact, stated as it appeared to the peopleinvolved. If it were a simple. documen-.tary, it would deserve consideration;

While the records indicate other-wise, this was probably a successfulseason for MIT. When a college doesnot attempt to recruit athletes, it oftenfinds itself with a team that justdoesn't have the skills needed to becompetitive with the teams it playsagainst.

Something like this could onlyhappen to Minot, who played in all butone varsity contest, and scored an even300 points, for a game average of 15per cent. In the process, he broke anall-time MMIT'record by hitting on 66 of75 free throws for an 88 per cent mark.He even contributed an average of tworebounds per game, reflecting histremendous desire to overcome hisshort height with tough and aggressivebasketball. Yet, despite his brand ofplay, he never fouled out of a game. Allin all, it was an amazing season for ayoung man who wasn't even consideredgood enough to start on the freshmanteam.

It became quite obvious early in theseason that the loss of Dave Janssoncould not be made up. Dave had always

'been counted on for twenty points andtwelve rebounds. Try as they might,juniors Nick Murlfold and Bob Vegelexcould not fill his shoes. Nick played inall twenty-one games, and scored 212points for a 10.1 average. His 152rebounds, which represented d gameaverage of 7.2, was-second only toVegeler's 158. Vegeler averaged 7.5rebounds a game and scored at an 8.4:clip.

By Jay ZagerMinot Clevland could never really

be mistaken for a basketball player. Ina game where a six-footer is consideredthe "little man", there is no room foranyone who stands five-foot-six. But ifthere was a bright spot in this year'sdismal 6-1 season, it would -have to bethe young sophomore from Anderson,Indiana, who took over as a starteronly because junior Steve Chamberlainbroke his wrist in the first week ofpractice, and who led MIT in everyoffensive department (except rebound-ing).

Coach Jack Barry approached histenth season at Tech with apprehen-sion; gone from last year's 16-9 squadwas -small college AUl-American DaveJanssen, and only one returning starterwas around to play for the inexper-ienced cagers. MIT opened the seasonwith a surprising one-point win overTufts; a week later, they found them-selves with a respectable 2-2 record anda big game against Trinity in front ofthem.

That game was destined to be thehighlight of one of the most amazingnights in Tech sports history. Fiveminutes before the bus was supposedto leave, Coach Barry called assistant-coach Fran O'Brian toinform him thathe (Barry) would not be able to makethe trip, and that O'Brian, who foryears was a successful baseball andbasketball coach at Stonehill College,would be in command.

On the way to Trinity, the busbroke down, and it was an hour beforea mechanic could repair the damage.When the bus Dally reachfd Hartford,the transmission locked, and aftertrying to push the bus, the team wasforced to walk a mile, in the rain, tothe gym.

When they reached the gym, theywere greeted with the news that thefE iehman ball teiaii hiiiaid9 won tIheir firstgame of the season, but prospects for adouble victory seemed remote against apowerful Trinity squad. At the half,the home team led by fifteenn points.The lead reached 22 with only fifteenminutes to play. Coach O'Brian called'time and decided to gamble- he calledfor a full-court press, figuring to makethe game interesting, if nothing else.Amazingly, the press worked, and thelead was slowly cut. Witl less than aminute to play, MIT tied the score, andthen with fie seconds to play, MinotCleveland hit on two free throws togive the engineers, an amazing 92-90upset victory.

Just the sight of Fred Andree '70 seems to shake his foes. Andree, whoboasted a 68-10-1 record during his high school career is undefeated in42 dual meets for MI T.
