The Fund for New Priorities in America is a group of inde- pendent businessmen and wo- men who heard about SACC through the March 4 research work stoppage. T1he Fund has organized other conferences, and contacted SACC in hopes of establishing a conference here. Although the two groups have differing views on the means, they agree on the need for change in priorities. The Fund basically adheres to the liberal view of chiange by talking to the right Congressmen and Senators in Washington. SACC has a more radical viewpoint feeling that it is necessary to organize and build support on the local level. This conference is the result of discussions between SACC and the Fund. One scheduled speaker, Er- nest Mandel, the editor-in-chief 'of La Gauche, will not attend. The Justice Department has de- nied him entry into the United States. West Campus report asks scheduling study that the load on almost all of the facilities in the West Campus is already high, and will certainly increase with time. Although the report finds that only Rockwell Cage has any structural problems ("even with careful mainten- ance" it is expected to last only another ten years), both athletic and community activities using the facilities do now or will soon find them "functionally inade- quate in terms of size or arrange- ment." The report specifically points out four athletic facilities: Rock- well Cage, the skating rink, the Alumni Pool, and the du Pont locker facilities. In these cases, demand on the facilities is high enough that some form of prior- ity system has been set up to determine use. Although this does not affect those with a high enough priority, "groups that suffer from limited space are those that recieve a low prior- ity." In the athletic facilities, these tend to be the "casual" users. One reason for the problem, according to the report, is the large amount of maintenance time which the current facilities require. "Good. maintenance takes time that comes at the expense of users, usually the casual users; and as utilization of a facility intensifies, more main- tenance is required." One solu- tion suggested is the use of materials which have a higher initial cost but require less time and money to maintain-Astro- turf, for example. Other activities, using such buildings as the Student Center and Kresge Auditorium, were found to be working under the same kinds of constraints as the athletic facilities. In this case the report found that it was the general community activities which suffered in the priority systems, which give undergrad- uate organizations first use, and other MIT organizations second use. The fact that these organiza- tions c6niand do use-the space in the student houses and outside West Campus "takes some of the press,:re off the Student Cen- ter," but the report still finds inadequate storage, rehersal, and meeting space available, as well as "a variety of physical prob- lems" connected with Kresge and the Student Center.

Clarification of this and other By Wendy Erb The possibilities of converting the society to peaceful-pursuits will be the theme of the Confer- ence on Social and Economic Conversion sponsored by SACC this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. SACC and the Fund for New Priorities in America- are co- sponsoring a National Confer- ence on Social and Economic Conversion which is open to the general public. The conference will begin this evening with key- note addresses in Kresge Audi-' torium. During Thursday and Friday there will be 11anel dis- cussions on conversion for In- dustry and Education respective- ly. Thursday there will be.pre- sentations to the panel on the affluent and depleted sectors of the economy. Friday's presenta- tions will concern themselves with higher education and con- version for Technological institu- tions such as MIT. Thursday evening seminars, encouraging participation by all those pre- sent, will be held on specific conversion problems. SACC hopes to inject a new perspective on_ conversion. The conference will discuss building a society where one works for humanity rather than profit. Conversion should not focus on the limited scope of adjustment of the economy to disarmament. It should have a broader base, with change in the political and social institutions as well. The problem which SACC perceives is how to reorient the society as a whole, not just the isolated economic segment of it. SACC sees the conference as an opportunity to point out the need for extensive change within our society.

It has repeated and docu- mented charges that several ath- letic facilities are not wholly adequate for their current or projected levels of use. At the same time, the report reaffirms Institute policy that the area west of Massachusetts Ave. be kept for non-academic uses. The report, entitled "West Campus Development Study- Phase I," was issued by the MIT Planning Office last week. The study is designed to predict needs and formulate plans for developing the West Campus through 1985, and concentrates on facilities for athletics and other activities rather than housing, which was covered in an earlier report issued last year.

AI _ u s _ counselors important questions 'was offered in a The Tech interview with Brown, Amy Metcalfe, Undergraduate Selective Service Advisor, and Joanne Robinson, draft counselor for graduate students. All three repeatedly emphasized that Washington has made no major policy changes; as before, most decisions are up to the local boards. For example, many under- graduates have asked how they can enter next year's pool. Mrs. Metcalfe pointed out that these students can either let their 2-S expire next fall or drop out of school. Students could apply to their local board for a l-A, but Washington has advised all boards to refuse these requests. The Selective Service Act, though, leaves the final author- r ity to the local board. Another important instance of this authority is occupational deferments for teachers. Appli- cants for these deferments must be, full-time teachers (at MIT, those exempted have a minimum of 30 class and preparation hours) with a minimum of course hours. Dean Brown be- lieves that most teachers, especially those in science, will be deferred, but agesin, the local board's decision is crucial. As for graduate students, many have asked about age limits Miss Robinson assured them that those over 26 will not be drafted. Fourth and fifth-year graduate students retain their educational deferments. And Dean Brown pointed out that, because of their age, graduate students are often passed up in favor of nineteen and twenty year olds. The army's preference for younger inductees has an important effect in appeals. For the benefit of those still uncertain about who the lottery effects, the counselors detailed its provisions. Monday's drawing applies only to those males who turp. 19 by December 31, 1969. They hold the same number for the rest of their lives, while a lottery is held each year for those newcomers to the 19 year age bracket. Again, the lottery only changes the way i-A's are selected for induction. Are significant policy amend- ments likely in the coming year? Dean Brown pointed out that changes are unlikely until the new Selective Service Director takes office in February. He speculated that Nixon's first move will be to eliminate stud- ent deferments. In the meantime, Amy Metcalfe has been besieged by undergraduates seeking advice. They all want to know if they should enter the draft pool as soon as possible or wait for graduation. Impressing the students with the consequences of their choice is crucial. Should they drop their 2-S and then receive an induc- tion notice, they will not be able to return to the haven of an educational deferment. Con- cluding, she declared that each student must decide if "it's worth the risk to enter the draft pool next year when it's larger than it will be in coming years." For the benefit of those stud- ents who want more informa- tion, there will be a meeting next Tuesday at 4:30 in Kresge Auditorium.

projections on population analand use on which the report isbased. One survey cited in thereport, based on individual de-partmental estimates of under-graduate enrollment showed atotal undergraduate populationof 5000 by 1974. Since currentpolicy calls foir no expansion of'the undergraduate, enrollment,the Planning Office selected amiddle ground position, projec-ting 4500 undergraduates by1985, and 9000 total students,"with much of the increase oc-curing relatively late in the plan-ning period."

The report similarly projectsfaculty size at 1500 (up about500 from present) withi many ofthe newcomers being youngermen more likely to use thefacilities. They predict that thenumber of staff and other em-ployees will nearly. double,reaching 13,000 by 1985.

The MIT housing program isexpected to handle a good bit ofthis increase. By the time theriver front has been completelydeveloped, and the Westgate areahas been expanded, some 40percent of all students (and 60percent of all undergraduates)will live on West Campus. Be-cause of new graduate studenthousing, 85 percent of all stu-dents living on campus will livewest of Mass. Ave.

In addition, the area north ofVassar St., including the recentlypurchased Simplex property, isprojected to change from' itscurrent industrial character to aresidential one. By 1985 thereport predicts that the areacould house as many as 6000"adults and children associatedwith the Institute." Some ofthese 'people could include fra'ternities which moved from Bos-ton or Brookline-and a pro:vision of land for at least 14houses has been included in a listof requirements for the Insti-tute's planning in that area.

The next phase of the workwill be a "comprehensive plan-ning study" of the West Campus.Such a study will presumablymake some concrete recommen-dations on types and locationsof further facilities so as tofurther the general policy whichkeeps the West Campus the resi-dential/recreational side of MIT.

When you consider asavings account running wellinto 5 figures as the alterna-tive to life insurance, almostany kind of life insurance isa bargain.

However, when you getdown to clo,;e comparisons,some life insurance is a big-ger bargain than others. Wellup on the list of bargains isSAVINGS BANK LIFE IN-SURANCE, for a carefulexamination will show you.that SBLI is America's low-est cost life insurance for allOrdinary Life, Endowment,and Renewable Term.

For example, under theSBLI 5yearRenewableTermPlan, a mhan of 40 cat! buy$25,000 in Savings BarnkLife Insurance far less than$100 a year* (at age 25, thecost is less than $75 ayear*.) This makes it pos-sible to provide extra pro-tection at lowest cost-at a time when families necdit most. In addition, an

SBLI 5 year term policy isautomatically renewable andconvertible to any one ofseveral permanent policiesup' to age 65, without addi-tional medical examination.This assures continuity ofprotection, no matter whathealth condition might de-velop.

Another reason why SBLIis a bargain is the fact thatalthough Massachusetts Sav-ings Bank Life Insurance isavailable only to people wholive or work in Massachu-setts, you -can keep anyamount you own at the samelow premiums even if youshould leave the state. Inaddition, you can find outfor yourself about every'kinq of Savings Bank LifeInsurance policy by visitingour bank, where an SBLIrepresentative who is anofficer of the bank will bepleased to answer any ques-tioses you may have. Or if youprefer, write or telephone

Perhap3 Kichard Nixon is the only one whohasn't yet realized it, but his 'fairer' lottery systemdoes nothing to affect the basic issues which havealienated the youth of this country. The basicissue has been, and still is, that there is a war onwhich people do not believe in, and that youngpeople are being taken against their will to do thepoliticians' dirty work. It would seem to becommon sense not to engage in a war that theyoung citizens, of this country do not supportenough to volunteer to fight in it.

But the war goes on, and the draft goes on. Lastyear we chose people to die 'selectively;' This yearwe chose people to die randomly.

The beO thing that can be said about thelottery is that it is no worse than the old system.To be sure, it will replace the uncertainties andinequities of the old system with new ones.Employers and draft boards will probably dis-criminate in hiring and deferments on the basis ofbirthdays. Those in the middle of the list will havea tense year. On the other hand, the new system

reduces the special priviledgesof those who are ircollege and deferred only because of their parent'seconomic status. In addition, it will make morepeople face up to the real issue: Is this ajust war?If not, is one against all wars orjust this one.4fone does not consider all war bad,.is militaryservice right when a country fights an unjust war?

As people think these things through, thepressure over the draft issue is bound to increase,and the Army is likely to be the proud recipient oflarge numbers of college educated traineesprepared to carry out active or passive resistancewithin its ranks.

For those whose consciousness of the war hasbeen sharpened by their recent bout with thelottery, we would offer this strong reminder: ifyou want peace, you've got to work for it. TheMoratorium is gathering forces for its Decembereffort right now. The war will not be over untilMIT can turn out October 15's 6,000 every monthfor organizing and polictical action. To get in-volved, call Dave Burmaster at X5855.

SACC's National Conference on Social andEconomic Conversion offers a real chance for thewhole MIT commumity to learn and contributetheir views on the problems and possibilities ofconversion.

Past months have shown that this issue has beena matter of intense interest to students, faculty,and staff. The Conference, especially the seminarsand workshops to be held on Thursday night,offers everyone a chance to think about theproblem and air their views in a cool environment.

We urge all members of the InsEitute 'Cotmn-ity to attend as much of the Conference aspossible, and to attend with an open mired; ready

for new ideas.Before and during the November Actions, many

people said that they were indeed interested in andconcerned about the issues of-national prioritiesand conversion, but objected to considering these ,issues in an atmosphere of "coercion." We trustthat these people in particular will be present atthe Conference.

We, like others, regret that one participant inthe Conference will be unable to attend. ErnestMandel, a Belgian economist, was unable to enterthe country because the Justice Department of theUnited States did not think his views should beheard within the borders of the land of the free.

riage; and tlhe old woman be-lieves in the ideal of giving gifts,and of sharing experience withher young cousin.

Frank and Eleanor Perry,fresh from their masterpieceLast Summer, have pieced toge-ther a leisurely paced film ofthoughtful, intense mood,which, taken as a whole, is ofgreater impact than any of theparts.

(Ed. note: The second andthird sections of Trilogy havebeen shown several times ontelevision in the past few years,with the same titles; the first,however, is receiving it premierewith this showing.)

By Emanuel Goldman(syndicated by Cambridge Phoenix)

Trilogy, three stories by Tru-man ('apote, is unified .by theconmon theines of aging andlonliness. Th.. first and last seg-ments depict contact between anold woman who is not far fromdeath, and a youngster who is inpart a projection of herself.Though the middle story dealswith two older people, the wo-man is childlike in spirit anddemeanor.

Miriam, an aggressive, retirednanny in New York City, refusesto admit the facts of her isola-tion and hypocrisy, until astrange young girl enters her life.Tie girl, also nanmed Miriam, isincensed by anything artificial,such as Nanny's imitation flow-ers. Young Miriam repeatedlyinsists that she never lies. Indeedshe doesn't; but the truth shebrings is so brutal and mercilessthat it threatens to destroy oldMiriam. Miriam, both young andold, does not inspire sympathy,only a macabre curiosity. How-ever, the story introduces themoods and themes of the follow-ing tales.

In A W1alk Down the Path toEden, a man placing flowers onhis wife's grave enters into con-versation with a woman who hadlost her father. We soon see thatthe woman is husband-hunting,and that the man has been domi-nated by both his wife and hissecretary all these years. How-ever, the secretary is not yet inher grave.

This story has a convincingfeeling for the way people inter-act: how, in our loneliness, wetry so hard to find areas ofcommon ground, yet are afraidof exposing too much emotionfor fear of being rejected; andhow, in the rut of a lifetime'shabit, we7-are unable to beginanew.

A Christmas Memory is set inthe country during the Depres-sion, early in the Roosevelt era;the autobiographical story is nar-rated by Capote.

The problems for Love maylie in that their balance is soobvious. Good music will notsell itself-to be commerciallysuccessful, music must be either I

By Bob DennisThe Rolling Stones lived up

to their raunchy reputation intwo shows before a total of27,000 excited young peopleSaturday evening at the BostonGarden.

As usual, Mick Jagger domi-nated the show. Replete in ablack sweatshirt imprinted witha white omega, a long pink scarfextending to the ground, and ajeweled belt which he later tookoff to twirl about his head,Jagger continually incited thecrowd with his prancing aboutthe stage and his sensual pelvicgyrations.

As the Stones took the stageshortly before 11 pm for thesecond show, many of thosespectators in the $7.50 seats onthe Garden floor left their seatsand crowded together in thespace just below the stage. Thecrowd remained physically re-strained throughout, however,and no police were present nearthe stage area.

The concert began with theyear-old hit "Jumping JackFlash" and continued with theold Chuck Berry tune "Carol."The Stones then did two hardrocking cuts from Beggars' Ban-quet-"Sympathy for the Devil"and "Stray Cat Blues."

Dedicating the next song "tominority groups ... like fags andjunkies," Jagger then sloweddown the pace with "Love inVain," a lyrical blues song fromthe Stones' new album Let ItBleed. Guitarist Keith Richardsat down and played acousticalguitar for the next two songs,the first of which was the fami-liar "Prodigal Son."

This rather quiet sequenceabruptly ended as the Stoneswent into "Under My Thumb,"a hard rocker from their After-inath album of several years ago.The growing frenzy of the capa-city crowd increased as Jaggertook up his mouth organ and theStones did "Midnight Rambler,"a long stomping tune from Let ItBleed during which Jagger fell tohis knees to highlight the mostfrenetic part of the song. They

'followed it with "Don't YouWant to Live With Me?," anotherearthy rocker from the new al-bum.

At this point, the lights in theGarden went on as Jagger shout-ed "We want to see what youlook like!" When the group be-gan the familiar rhythm from"Satisfaction," their 1965 clas-sic, the crowd shouted their en-thusiasm. As their extended ver-sion continued, seemingly imita-ting a version of the tune OtisRedding did a few years ago, theGarden became a frantic mad-house. The 16,000 frenzied fans,most of them standing (many ontheir seats) and clapping, becamecompletely immersed in the sen-sual phenomenon that engulfedthe Garden.

After shouting "We've had agood time," lJagger invited thecrowd to sing along as theStones did their recent "HonkyTonk Woman."

The concert ended with thehard and militant "Street Fight-ing Man," which promptedmany in the crowd to raise theirhands in the familiar closed fistgesture. Toward the end of thesong, Jagger picked up a basketof red rose petals and threw itscontents-and eventually thebasket itself-into the crowd.

As the Rolling Stones left thestage at 12:15 am to a thunder-ous ovation, the thousands be-gan slowly to leave the Garden.For many in the Crowd, theconcert had been an emotionalexperience they would not soonforget,

The story provides a vividportrait of this woman, who,because of her simplicity andopenness, creates a feeling forthe passage of time, and for theultimate solitude that is the hu-man condition.

All three stories show differ-ent responses to a lonliness thatis especially poignant among theaging. Miriam behaves with des-peration, wanting to ignore thetruth; the widower seeks securi-ty in the old patterns, and hissuitor, in the prospect of mar-

LoveLove is one of the tragedies

of popular music. It is rare forsuch a talent to be recognized bythe critics and yet still go unno-ticed as lesser people becomestars.

Love is Arthur Lee (orArthurly as he now spells it),just as the Byrds are McGuinn.The group made four records forElektra-three of them good,one of them great, all of themcommercial flops. Their stylechanges as frequently as theirpersonnel, which is to say, eachrecord; their quality is consis-tent. And now that Love has leftElektra, and the knowledgeableproduction hand of Jac Holz-man, the whole show is ArthurLee.

Unless something drastic hap-pens, Love's new double-albumfor its new label, Out Here (BiueThumb), will just continue thetrend. The albam is good, therecan be no doubt of that. Leadsinger-rlhythm guitarist-song-writer-producer Arthur Lee isjoined, this time, by Jay Donnel-Ian on lead guitar, Frank Fayadon bass, and George Suranovichion drums. All are solid and thealbum can best be characterizedby describing it as competent.l-owever. good music does not ahit record make.

It is strange to hear a groupdelve into so many styles and becomfortable in all of them; yetthat is just what Love does onOut iHerc. The country influencehas reached everywhere, andsonme very clever country cutsprove this album no exception."Abalony," "Disclharged," and

By Robert FourerDespite its brash title, Amer-

icanz Revolution 2 (at CinemaKenmore Square) is a quiet, un-assuming documentary by a cou-ple of Chicago filmmakers call-ing themselves Film Group Inc.,about how things have beenchanging there since the summerof 1968. It offers no polemics,no heart-rending juxtapositions,little at all that appeals directlyto the emotions; its appeal re-mains calm and reasoned. Over-all, its restraint may be the moststriking thing about it.

The film begins, as is nosurprise to anyone, with scenesof the demonstrations during theDemocratic National Conven-tion, and of the police riot thatensued. It soon becomes clear,though, that this isn't really themain topic..-While. toward theb'eginning a businessman is quo-ted explaining the importance of

the convention trade to the city,he is followed by another de-scribing the plight of peopleliving in the fenced-off areaaround the convention site; andthe emphasis shifts, as blacksvoice their contempt for mid-dle-class whites who get upsetonly when their children arebeaten up.

This first section, entitled "AFew Honkies Get Their HeadsBeat," makes its point well. Thenew "revolution" is among thepoor, who are greatest in num-ber and have the greatest grie-vances. They haven't made themost noise; but they harbor themost resentment, and if theyorganize, will have the mostpower.

The remainder of the film,more than half its length, is astudy of how the, poor-blackand -white-are - organizing. Itshows meetings of community

organizations whose membersmust be taught not to mistrusteach other. And it shows thewalls they run up against con-fronting those in power-middle-class service organiza-tions with no sense of theirurgency, public councils thattreat them as ennemies, patroni-zing police representatives withinsulting offers of friendship.The style, as throughout, isunderstated cinema-verite-nonarration at all, almost no titles,but the logic kept well in hand.

Unfortunately, its style alsomakes American Revolution 2 apoor feature film. It can set anaudience thinking, but it's notpowerful enough to move them;what's needed is a discussionperiod afterwards to keep themomentum going. In otherwords, it would make a fineclassroom film-and hopefully itsoon will.

big-band swing mode but quick-<ly and powerfully moves into adriving soul-influenced numberled by Patti Allen's vocal. Ellisuses his electronic toys persis-tently in "Love For Rent" and itmakes for an intriguing cut. '"It'sYour Thing" once again showsoff Miss Allen's vocal abilities ina big-band showcase. The versionof Laura Nyro's "Eli's Comin'"can only be described as beauti-ful.

Underground is a listening ad-venture. Any jazz fanatic whothinks rock has nothing to offershould listen, for this is an al-bum for any fan of either jazz orrock, or both. Ellis is an exampleof progressive pop at its best.

Steve MillerThe new Steve Miller Band

album, your Saving Grace, hasbut one saving grace. This is thecut "Baby's House,'- which isblessed by imaginative arrarnge-ment and a fine, polished perfor-mance.'-The rest of the albumlacks the originality which manyOf Miller's albums haVe possessedand- which Sailor, his first al-bum, exemplified.

"Baby's House" is a jointeffort by Steve- Miller and NickyHopkins (studio musicians par ex-cellence) which features Hopkinssoloing on piano, some nice

acoustic guitar work by Miller,and lyrics which are well deli-vered. Throughout it all onehears Hopkins' organ puttingdown a heavy baroque backing.For nine minutes the wholegroup comes together on a cutwhich can only be described asbelonging to Nicky Hopkins.

The remainder of cuts on thealbum are either attempts atimitating old blues or imitatingthe now defunct Traffic. "FeelSo Glad" is another Miller/Hopkins number but, because ofits attempts to sound too much

like Steve Winivood when he waswith Traffic, it comes off muchtoo repetitive. A traditional,j."Motherless Children" is given-an unusual arrangement by Mil-ler, but the electronics and drag-ging tempo fail to come across.

The Steve MiiUer Band has,done quite a few good things inthe studio. Unfortunately, thebest -thing they did with thisalbum was to get Nicky Hopkinsto sit in with them-and noteven his attempts could save thisouting from mediocrity.

Don Ellis BandA new Don Ellis album is

always an adventure. Don, forthe non-jazz buffs in the crowd,is a trumpet player who enjoyshearing instruments throughamplifiers, and also enjoys play-ing with sounds by electronicmethods. He has been known tofeed his playing through a tapedelay and then play duets withhimself in concert. In short, DonEllis is an experinenter.

The New Don Ellis BandGoes Underground is the wel-come result of a series of influ-ences. Ellis has alwvays been oneto experiment with arrange-ments, and has never been shyabout forms of music other thanpure jazz. The album before -thisone was Autumn, produced byAl Kooper, Ellis' first excursioninto the rock form. Now he haseven added a soulful singer -named Patti Allen and the re-sults of the cross-breeding canonly be termed an exciting suc-cess.

Underground has life. HarryNilsson's "Don't Leave Me" isthe classic example of jazz tech-.niques applied to rock, andKooper's "House in the Coun-try" proves almost as adaptable."Higher" starts off in a 1940's

- (Continued from page 5)Armfield cover painting, but thetone is unmistakably "hard."The Fleetwood Mac do not at-tempt to command one's atten-tion completel ' from the veryfirst cut, as do Hendrix andother artists of that ilk. One is atliberty to read a book or carryon a conversation without everbeing forcefully dragged underthe mesmeric influence ofsome wild-eyed guitarist-but atthe same time, if the listenerplays the album once or twicethrough for the sake of themusic alone, he will soon noticethat it has a strange attractivequality about it, and very likelywill go about his business ratherabstractedly. Snatches ofstrangely turned melody willfloat through his head for hoursafterward.

Several of the cuts are unmis-takably old-style blues, and tothe credit of the Fleetwood Mac,they are performed in a veryu npre tent ious manner. "'FeelLike Cryin' " is reminiscent oftrue early blues, and possessessome of the qualities of the earlyButterfield Blues Band style, mi-nus the flashiness and with per-haps a dash of pensiveness."Show Biz Blues" has some ofthe fine acoustic guitar tech-nique of John Lee Hooker, anddisplays an impressive amount offast chord work.

"Fighting for Madge" and"Searching for Madge," on sidesone and two respectively, areexcellent examples of what ismeant by quiet heavy rock. Bothcuts have the same theme, thefirst being a conventional (moreor less) rendition of a rock num-ber, and the second being moreon the order of a jam session.Both, however, are engineeredand performed such that all ofthe traditional blare and blusterof rock has been filtered away,and we are left with a soft-spoken but powerful musical es-se.ce. "Searchint; for Madge"contains a couple of fade-outs,which constitute a sort of musiccal pun on the album title.

"My Dream" exemplifies theepitome of the Fleetwood Macsound. The group has managedto attain a sort of poignant yeteminently listenable melodytwist in this song, a twist whichappears in many forms withinthe album. ."Closing My Eyes"contains this twist (although it isbasically a vocal number), and isperhaps the better of the two interms of melody. "When YouX

Say" approaches the classicalconcept of melody, and is theone truly lyrical, poetic song anthe album.

The Fleetwood Mac are notthe Cream, and it is admirablethat they have learned how topull together to produce truegroup music. There are no exten-ded solos on this album, noimpressive riffs. There is, how-ever, a wealth of very enjoyablelistening and mood music, forthe Flectwood Mac have a cer-tain.spirit which if accepted canmake the listener just a bit hap-

berths. Center Ben Wilson at6' 6" and forward Harold Brownat 6'3" have worked their wayinto Tech front court plans a-long with Dick Lefebvre '71(6' 1"), Nick Mumford '70(6'4"), and Steve Milner '72(6'. 10"). In the backcourt Cleve-land, Wheeler, Steve Chamber-lain '70 (439 points in the lasttwo seasons), Jim Shields '71,and Gerry Loe '71 will see plen-ty of action this year.

The 1969-70 schedule oftwenty-five games includes threemid-season tournaments. On De-cember 27-29 the Engineers areentered for the first time in theFort Eustis, Virginia tourna-ment. On January 9-10 MIT willtravel to Halifax, Nova Scotiafor the Bluenose Classic, a tour-ney Tech last won in 1966.Finally, on February 18-19 theTech cagers will participate inBoston University's annual Colo-nial Tournament.

FencingThe varsity fencers slumped

in both their regular season(5-13) and in championship

MiT will field a total of elev-en varsity teams this winter. Theoutlook for the various Techsquads varies fro-n championshipthreats to hopes for a .500 sea-son. Here is a brief appraisal ofEngineer chances it: the upcom-ing campaigns.

BasketballLast winter, the Tech cagers

eight straight winning seasonsstreak was snapped as the Engi-neers could only nmanage a 6-15mark. But out of - last year'svarsity will con e the nucleus ofwhat could be a very interesting1969-70 season.

In addition to the seven re-turning lettermen, a group thatincludes last year's top scorerMinot Cleveland '71 (300 pointsin 20 gamnes), the Engineers haveon their current roster backcourti:ace Bruce Wheeler '70. Wheeler,who was at Princeton last yearon a transfer program, was oneof Tech's leading scorers as asophomore in 1967-68 with a14.7 average in 25 games.

Several sophomores appear tohave earned shots at starting

competition last winter. Thisseason, however, could tell adifferent story. Six lettermenincluding senior Dave Rapoportand several promising sopho-mores return to boost Tech pro-spects.

The top foil men are MikeAsherman '72, Karl Van Bibber'72, and Pat Tam '71. The bestbets in the sabre division areRapoport, Walt Miller :71, andJon Abrahamson '72. In theepee Vince Fazio'72, Ed Delvers'72, Al Mecklenburg '71, GusBenedicty '71 will bulwark theEngineers.

The season's schedule liststhirteen opponents and the NewEngland Intercollegiate and In-tercollegiate Fencing Associationchampionships which will beheld at du Pont Gymnasium

GymnasticsNow in its third year as a

varsity squad at the Institute,the Tech gymnasts once againappear to be contenders for NewEngland College Division honors.For the past two seasons theengineers have taken second.

The current Tech roster in-cludes veterans Tom Hafer '70,and Horation Daub '71, andco-captains Dick Hood '70 andKen Gerber '71.

Ice HockeyThis year's edition of the

varsity hockey team got off to arousing start Saturday night witha convincing 5-3 triumph overWorcester Polytechnic Institute.The victory gives the Tech six agood start on their quest tobetter last year's 5-7-1 record.

The bright spot of last seasonwas the Engineers' winning oftheir first Tech hosted Invita-tional Round Robin tourna-ment. In addition, the icemenreceived top performances fromcenter Bill Barber '71 and goalieKen Lord '71. Both are backalong with six other lettermen.However, MIT's problem will a-gain lie in a lack of depth.

The forward lines will pro-bably consist of some combina-tion of Fred Campling '70, AndyJarrell '71, Bill Stensrud '7 1,Marc Weinberg '70, and lastyear's high scorer Bill Barber.

Defensively, Gary Gibian '71,Dick Pinneck '70, John Miller'72, and Jerry Horton '72 areTech's best prospects. Lord willagain be called upon to handlethe goalie duties.

PistolThe pistol team, competing in

the Northeast Intercollegiate Pis-tol League (one of the nation'stoughest), has won 11 of 17matches over the past two years.However, the Tech shooters facea rebuilding year this season.All-American Tom Imrich andDon Fujimoto were both lost tograduation. This leaves the bur-den to returning lettermenWayne Criswell '71, Dan Flint'70, and Captain Oscar Asbell'70.

RifleThe Tech rifle squad, which

already has five victories andonly one loss to its credit thisseason, will be trying to accomp-lish the near impossible task ofbettering last year's 16-2 mark.However, last year's marksmenfailed to capture the New Eng-land championship. This seasonwith Captain Dick Evans '70,Karl Lamson '71, Tom Stellinger'70, and Bill Swedish '71 theTechmen could go all the way.

SkiingEight lettermen return to bol-

ster the Tech skiers hopes in theDivision II Championships. Ledby captain Max Daamen '70 inthe Nordic event, John Schultz'71 and Gil Flanagan '70 in theAlpine events, and with additionof Norwegian jumper Atle Steen'70, Tech's veteran team shouldfair well in the eight carnivalsscheduled for the snowy monthsahead.

SquashSquash is another sport where

graduation has taken its toll.After two straight winning sea-sons the Tech raquetmen are onshaky ground with only four ofthe top nine coming back fromlast year. Senior Captain BobMcKinley, who was seed firstlast year, Manny Weiss '70, JonFricker '69, and Steve Cross '71are the returning veterans. Theremaining slots will be contestedby members of the predominate-ly sophomore squad.

· SwimmingThe swimming team was an-

other of those squads hit by thegraduation blues. An overallthree year record of 27-11 onlyserves as a reminder for theswimmers of the loss of record-breakers Luis Clare, Lee Dilley,Tom Nesbitt, and Bill Stage.

Pete Sanders'72, Pete Hadley'72, and Larry Markel '71 willspearhead Tech's efforts in thesprints. Al Graham '71, DaveJames '71, and Hadley are thecream of the distance corps. Thedivers will be led by Jon Frost'70, Jesse Heines '70, andCharles Gronauer '72.

WrestlingThe wrestling team, coming

off a 15-2 mark last season,hopes to be able to continue itswinning ways this year. Return-ing lettermen Ted Mita '71, RickWilloughby '70, Dean Whelan'70, Bruce Davis '71, and co-captains Joe Baron '70 and WaltPrice '70 should give the grap-plers the quality needed to ac-complish its goal.

expansion" of the Commissionis an attempt to draw moremembers of the community intothe Commission's work.

The first topic, Regulationand Management, is concernedprimarily with the way MIT willgovern itself in the future. Itincludes both funding and organ-ization, as well as governance.

The second topic, Ecology, isclosely related to the "at-mosphere" at MIT. The social,psychological, and physical con-ditions in Which members of theMIT community live will be itsprime consideration.

The third topic, Programs andMethods, covers a wide range ofideas., Among them are educa-tional policies, research plans,and experinteital programs inreducation. In order to makethings more manageable, it willprobably divide into subgroups.

The other members of theCommission, besides Prof. Hoff-man, are: Samuel Bodman,Associate Professor of ChemicalEngineering; Daniel Kemp,Associate Professor of Chemis-try; O. William Lever, G, V;Charles Mann, '72, V; ErikMollo-Christensen, Professor ofMeteorology; Marvin Sirbu, G,VI; Louis Smullin, Head of theDepartment of Electrical Engin-eering; Arthur Steinberg, Assis-tant Professor of History andArchaeology; Laurence' Storch,'71, I; Lester Thurow, AssociateProfessor of Economics; andSheila Widnall, Assistant Pro-fessor of Aeronautics and Astro-nautics.

In his 'address to the Commis-sion on October 23, Dr. JamesKillian, Chairman of the Corpor-ation said: "I attach enormousimportance to the work of thisgroup and feel that it is again, as

By Lee Giguere"What are they saying to the

Commission?" One of the firstthings to strike the eyes of any-one who goes to the office ofthe Commission on MIT Educa-tion is the proliferation of thisquestion on signs and black-boards-in the office.

The first month of the Com-mission's existence has beenspent listening to what peoplehave to say to the commission.Members of the MIT communitywho have spoken to the Com-mission include PresidentHoward Johnson, ProvostJerome Weisner, Dr. James Kil-lian, Chairman of the Corpora-tion, Frank Press, Head of thedepartment of Earth andPlanetary Sciences, and Jona-than Kabat. Elting Morison, ofYale University, a former MITprofessor, was one of the severalspeakers from outside the Insti-tute community.

During this same period, theCommission members have beenexpressing their views on thepurpose of the Commuission.Commission members have beenmeeting with members of theMIT community in an effort togather a wide range of views onthe nature of MIT education.

The apparent lack of activityon the part of the Comminssion isdue, according to Marvin Sirbu'66, to the fact that a great dealof time has been spent "explor-ing the scope of the problems."A special effort has been madeto insure that when the Commis-sion divides up into sub-groups,the answers aren't predeter-mined by the questions. How-ever, in order to aid people inmaking up their schedules for

Sirbu has found that few stu-dents are interested in going totalk to the Commission. Theresponse from the faculty, how-ever, has been more encouraging.

The financial situation-at MITis more critical than membershad expected. At the presenttime, many of the professors inthe engineering departmentsmust charge as much as half

'their salaries to research con-tracts, according to ' SheilaWidnall, professors in the De-partment of Aeronautics and As-tronautics. This puts a great dealof pressure on faculty membersto do work in areas in whichmoney is available-for research.The Commission will spend a lotof time considering how theInstitute could find other meansof paying faculty salaries.

Another question moresubtly related to finances is therelative size of the graduate andundergraduate enrollments. Forthe first time in the Institute'shistory graduate. enrollment hasexceeded that of the undergrad-uates. Twenty years ago, theLewis Commission fixed the sizeof MIT's undergraduate popula-tion. The graduate population,however, has been allowed togrow. According to Sirbu, one ofthe reasons for this was that itwas and is easier for the Instituteto finance graduate educationdue to the fact that it costs MITless in direct costs. The Commis-sion will look into the relation-ship of undergraduate and gradu-ate education, and the relation-ship of both to the Institute.They will also consider the close-ly related problem of the rela-tionship of research to MIr.

Among the immediate plansof the Commission is the build-ing of an information in Building

Marvin Sirbu '66Professor Kenneth Hoffman

the'second semester, the Com-mission is concentrating on start-ing the subgroups before thattime.

lhe, Commnission has begunits attempts to foster discussionin the community by providingstaff assistance to the FacultyAdvisory Group in its efforts toset up faculty discussion groups.The Commission has encouragedtheir autonomy in seeking outwhat they feel are the importantissues facing_ the 'Institute andwill serve primarily to help co-ordinate the results of their dis-cussions. The first topic that thefaculty groups are planning todiscuss is the Pounds PanelReport.

The Commission on MITEducation was set up accordingto plans set forth by a planningcommittee which met over thesummer. The charge of the Com-mission, as stated in their report,is:

l."to reconsider and re-formulate the goals of the Insti-tute."

2. "to re-examine the princi-ples and methods of education,research . and - -adminis44ationwhich have evolved at the Insti-tute"

3. "to propose such .modifi-cations in the Institute's environ-ment and self-regulating arrange-ments as are necessary to assisteach member of the MIT com-munity in his personal develop-ment and in his ability to contri-bute to the common purposes ofthe institute with dignity andintegrity."

The planning committee sawthe Commission not as a body ofdeliberators, but as "a catalyst"for thought in the community.Prof. Kenneth Hoffman, of theDepartment of Mathematics,Commission Chairman, hasstated that the Commission is"concentrating on trying tobring more people into the ef-fort."

Sirbu pointed out that "manypeople who've talked about whatthey don't like have not ex-pressed a willingness to sit downand work out the solutions."'Fhe problems won't go awayuntil people decide to do some-thing about them." In his visitsto several MIT living groups,

Frank Press, Head of the De-partment of Earth and PlanetarySciences, compared MIT to CalTech. One, a large institution,has to consider whether, withoutabandoning older disciplines, ithas sacrificed quaity for diver-sity in its attempts to keep pacewith new developments. Theother, a small institution, isfaced with the problem of howit can keep up with new developments without losing its identityas a small institution. Press feltthat MIT and Cal Tech, in orderto survive, will tend to becomemore like each other.

Professor Elting Morison ofYale, formerly an MIT facultymember, commented at lengthon the nature of undergraduateeducation. He pointed out theneed for a wider education forundergraduates. Prof. Morisonfelt that undergraduates canlearn a lot from each other, andthat the best way to raise theemphasis on the humanities atMIT would be to increase theenrollment of students'with in-terests in these areas. He alsoremarked that engineering edu-cation is frequ-dntly little morethan the learning of proceduresrather than education in thecreative task which the puttingtogether of a large operationreally is. Prof. Morison alsonoted that the spirit of MIT hasalways been that of a placewhere the emphasis is on puttingtheory into practice.

Jonathan Kabat said: "Theinstitution in a sense is becomingfossil-like, not having the properfeed-back that allows it to con-tinually change its perspective."Commenting further, Kabatsaid: "I believe that if you have acontinually developing attitudethat allows for expansion, thatthat's much more satisfactory."

In order to make these pre-sentations available to the MITcommunity, the Commission isplanning to publish a journal inwhich presentations and formalpapers can be published.

7. This would serve both as asort of bulletin board wherenotes on what the Commission isdoing could be posted as well asa center for the distribution ofthe Commission's .transcripts.There is also the possibility thata multi-media presentation withtaped excerpts of the Conmmis-sion's meetings and appropriateslides might be added.

The Commission is alsolooking for new offices in anarea which is closer to the centerof MIT activities. Their presentoffices on the sixth floor ofbuilding 39 are meant to betemporary.

The Commission is now be-ginning to split up into panels toconsider specific aspects of theproblems facing MIT. The panelsare to considex the topics: RLegu-lation and Management, Ecolo-gy, and Programs and Methods.As the pands are formed, theywill include members who arenot on the CoXmmission. This

in the case of the Lewis Commis-sion, an historic opportunity forthe planning of the effectivenessof this institution." Killianpointed out that in the past 20years, some of the recommen-dations of the Lewis Commis-sion still have not been carriedout. His suggestions were to setup an experimental college atthe Institute, and also to set up anew institution "tiat can stand'between the university and teapplication of the university'sideas and resources." Killian

·noted that concern for fundsshould not inhibit the Commis-sion's consideration of newideas, since if the ideas are good,the funds can be found.

Speaking on the same day,Provost Jerome Wiesner pointedout that the basic motivation forsetting up the Commission wasthat "we are dissatisfied withsomething-MIT's relationship tosociety, -MIT's internal struc-ture."
