By Neil SingerThis year marks the 10th an-

niversary of MIT's IndependentActivities Period (IAP). Original-ly conceived as an academiccalendar reform, I-AP has

'1-d6v-ped -intio n -extensive, yetunstructured program of in-teresting .mini-coutses andseminars. Though the IAP offer-ings, which are student or facultyinitiated, are similar to those ofprevious years, this year's IAPhighlights energy-related topics.

According to Woodie Flowers,Policy Committee Chairpersonfor IAP, more activities have in-volved the energy problem thanany other single topic, thus it hasbecome important to distinguishthese-subjects from the others. Hecontinued. by explaining that"MIT has so many experts on the

boasting of only a five percent ac-tivity average cancellation rate.out of the approximately 500 ac-tivities listed annually in the I.APGuide. Though student participa-tion can not-. be-c xactly . deter-mined due to the ' unstructurednature of the offering, housingstatistics indicate that between 70percent and 90 percent of the stu-dents are on campus in January.Enterline emphasized the fact thatthe number of people who attendthe mini-courses is not really im-portant. because "sightseeing,reading and other independentactivities are also an integral partof IAP.-

The concept of IAP wasdeveloped in the late 1960's as apart of then-Provost JeromeWiesner's program for calendarreform in order to provide a six

Mbost of the discussion was cQon-sumed by details of truck routes,inflammability of scintillationfluids, and security measures untilCouncillor -Mary Ellen Preussercaptured the' essence of the dis-pute, emphasizing the lack ofcommunication between the cityand MIT and Harvard.

*. .-. both of the institutions arehere and they go ahead and make,their decisions about how they'regoing to conduct themselveswithin the parameters of their6wn philosophy...

"If Councillor Vellucci had notput his order into the City Coun-cil, would it have occurred toeither on-e of the institutions tocome to us... I'm afraid theanswer is no.

"I think it's at the root of thepro'blem between the institutionsand the City of Cambridge, and Ithink it is very unfortunate that itis never the institutions that takethe initiative and come to the CityCouncil and say "look, we wantrtoshare what is happening.'

'.1 think it is very painful andwe are going to be in an adversaryrelation in this city until the in-stitutions and the City ofCambridge become"positive plansnine partners of the future of thiscity."

The Council acknowledgedthat not all responsibility fell onthe universities. As CouncillorSaundra Graham noted the com-munity biohazards committee es-tablished during the recombinantDNA controversy, "has notmet. . . is not doing anything. . Iwent through this whole QNAthings I don't think we have thecapacity to absorb- it all and wedon't have the expertise... "

For thesetwo reasons, the IAP office will bepreparing a special schedule of'energy-related topics, so that stu-dents may easily plan to attendmany of these programs.However, Mary Enterline, Editorof the IAP Guide, stressed thefact that there has always been a.balance between academic anidnon-academic activities offeredduring IAP, and that energy.related topics are mnerely beingmade more recognizable.

"The first IAPin 1971 was almost completelyorganized and run by students,"declared Mr. Orlen.

As a result of changes in stu-dent attitides, several IAP ac-tivities have received particularnotoriety over the yea'rs. Duringthe first year of IAP, severalhun'dred students demonstrated

By John Mo~litorisAbout a month ago, a friend of

inine came in, from. Seattle. He is apost-doc at the University ofSeanttle and he 'was in Boston to'give a talk at MIT bn his currentresearch., I met my friend at Har-vard Square-a~nd we went to aprofe~ssor's-Aouse~t wherea: he was tospend the'-night.'As it wound up, Istayed for supper and had a verypleasan t evening. I got back` to fiiapartment at about 11:20 anddidn't have a care in the world..The I gla'nced over to the spot ;where I had parked my motorcy-cle earlier that day andl sudde'nlyhad a care in the world... no -motorcycle!

I. vaulted up the stairs to myCambridge apartment, hopingthat--my roommate was playing-sorne abusrd joke. No dice, thebike wias gone,

The C-ambridge police were notvery encouraging. They wrote allthe information down in this bigblack book and said that stolenrnorotcycles usually turn up,...eventually. One officer told. rnthat there was a 90 percent chanceof recovery, but he did ntot soundvery optimistic.

I walked out of the police sta-tion feeling... well, the only wayI can describe it is "ripped off."In fauct. I felt more ripped off thRanI had ever felt in my life. 1, wouldhave fell ripped off under anysimilar circ~uinstances, but losingmiy rootorcycie cut a little deeper.You see, When F was 13 years old Iworked fill sunirmer in a paper frac-torv 1~)r $1.65 an hour so Il couldbuy a motorbike, but my dadmade rne save that money for col-lege. I kvorkcd the following sum-merr at the same place for S 1.75 anhour, but this time my~~dad con-rrceded and I bought at red dirtbike. I still remember sweating inthat factory. there was no airconditioning and iUf looked likesomething out of the~industrialrevolution. Somehow I mranagedto take care: of the motorcycleover the years, and 'this fall Ibrought it to MI/fT with me.,.

Last \iveek I received a call fronlth~e Cambridge police notifiedme that the ]bike wits recovered. Itwas good news, for a while atleast. I called I up some garage 7where the bike was towed, but"'they told me that they didn't have-a red motorcycle there. They hadaf blue 'one with my serialnumbergs, but not a red o tie.Okay, I expected the bike to get apaint job. What I didn't expectNvas a towing and a storage feewhich broke me. In addition tothis the garage .did not want torelease it, because it had ndi license

leave it at that. A2nother officertold me tfiat I would have mychance in court and that itwouldn't do0 any good to kill themmbefore I took them to court. I

.really didn't think'I 'sounded thatbad, but the police. thought so.(The guy who had been sitting inthe chair for, 25 years wasprobably just protecting me.) Thisofficer also told my that lately thecourts had been strict, but even if.1 was awarded flull compensationthere was. no guaratntee could

.. icc~dli~;~,t,,l~d c~'r fel ~~h bet-ter a 1 heard th i'fis.) Also,"'if'these guys were PFi-st offenders,they could get off scot-free.

The case comes to court inabout a month. Il still-feel prettyripped off. It makes no sense forsor'eone to senselessly destroy

'what I have worked for. It miakeseven less senseSidr the law to lethirn .o if this is the First offense.TFhere were times in this wvhole: af-farir when I would have lIiked touse thee crow bar methoid, but then'J1a a civilized person.

StN en s can liiictpolIC OdecKsonsAt M IT today, there is a basiclfeeling of powerlessness aniong the

student body. Because: of their position at the bottorn of the MITpower structure,-students~f~f feel helpless whenever the administrationn orf'Lacultly considers a proposal which could adverserly affect students.

'I~hs lteljofhe hlpl' larla rttiul~y evident duaring the recentco1111,11011s boyeott.'Maany students I talked to said they would'joir. theboycott but they didnit think it would have any effe It on the ad-mini Iistratioic n' s de cision.i

TIhis attitude is not really justified.~ True, students are almlostt neverempop(wered to niakee the I'inal decisions - a situation wich should bechangeg s - but studeilts do have quite a bit of effective powe , non-clfrcless.

Studenls occc~ipy a centbral- position at MIT: this school is here sup-posedly to, henefit students and prepare themr to serve sucrur functionsini society. 11'students co~nsider a proposSal not beneficial to then), theadmiliiistr~atio n hadc better listen.

Them rrITadministration does listen, although it doesn't always agreewith' students. The admi~inistration isn't a pack of conscienceless ogreswho entjoy seeoing st udents suffler. -In fact, miany memnbers of'the currentN 17 adminiistf ation have been cham ions of studen t causes. PresidentWiesner wa's a strong supporter of student protesters in the Sixties.C'hance~llor Gf'ray wrs lin early supporter of freshnian pass/fail.

Thisresolution should be passedbecause one of the functions- ofthe student govern ment is to voice,the concerns of its student body.Should the GA take a stand onpeacetime draft?

Whether or not this resolutionis passed on Tuesday, November27 is not as important as the ques-tion was this decision reached bythe majority of MIT -studentbody. This is a very controversial'issue:and must be decided by thestudent body in order to be of anysignificance. In order for the stu-dent. government to -function,your support and your input isneeded.

The issue is not simply shouldthe GA pass this resolution butalso should the GA be concernedwith issues outside the immrediateconcern of the MIT community.Several questions are raised. Is itappropriate -for the GA to passsuch a resolution? How tepresen-tative of the student body as awhole is the consensus of the GA?

-Should the GA only act on non-political issues outside its im-medialte concern? Only the stuJ-dent body could find the answersto these questions.

There are two reasons why theGA should not be concerned withissues outside its immediate com.-munity. First, these issues willpreoccupy mnuch of GA meetingtime. Second, the passage of thisresolution could open-,GA to bar--rages of issues from every special

two years when Scooper discovers it - shedid Nrot have the trust to confide in himduring the period her breast (or "bosomr"as she prefers to call it) was being eatenaway. She enters a hospital. Scooper has ahysterical (as in wild) scene with Dierdre(April Shawhan). Having vented his furyby ripping up her beloved collection ofbound books and being stabbed by her inreturn, guess what? He finds himself in ahospital pith his mother, whom he nowtries to induce to suicide. The explanationof this mess finally arrives at the close ofthe play. By this time, however, it is toolate, for without the explanation, despitethe competent performances of the cast, allseems stupid and incomprehensible, andwith it, the whole is unbelievable. There aremany cheap laughs which will be enjoyedby all those with an I.Q. of less than 20, afew instants of sharp and meaningful wit,and a great deal of tedium.

Maybe this will not be classified as agreat play of the seventies - there are ele-ments of predictability about most of thecharacters, and a lot of what is said has,.been said before. However, it is a carefullythought out probe of the existence of sixwonen, and it is an emotional experience.All six actors have been adept at acquiringthe mannerisms and (in)sensibilities oftheir subjects, and will certainly make theaudience think.

Six women spend their working livesprocessing--other peoples' frozen momnentsof happiness. We focus on their Christmasparty in the lounge of the Ashworth Phar-macies Photo Developing Lab and view anexploration of their psyches.in the hands ofplaywright Ralph Fredericks. In thisisnapshot of their lives, the~truths they fearto reveal are developed and mounted for allto view in a witty and touching style.

Toni (Donna Lee Franklin) is a pre-programmed "conveniernce-packaged"nothing. Taking for granted her subjugatedposition relative to her husband, she can

hardly be expected to listen to the feminist

proclamations of Bess (Laurie Zahlen) - it

is not her ro~le to think. Ms. Franklin is ex-

cellent at creating the timbre of of this

character: a slightly pretentious postureanad a plastic smile that says nothing but ex-cuses the brain from producing anythingfurther.

Vicki (Linda Denne) is a serious lesbian,bait for the taunts of Kathryn Kirkwood'sMadeline, who drinks, bitches, and deludesherself. In an expert performance, Ms.Kirkwood creates a mock-superior air, ex-uding vicious condescention, but the un-folding drama unmasks her. In a drunken,frenzied state she reveals the photos of thethirty men who have "fucked" her, carriedas "only proof that someone wants to liewith me."

Jealn Comstock brings out thehypocrisies of Dot, a middle aged prude.With fruity vbice she projects a moralisingmother another figure operating within anarrowly defined set' of "rules" ofdecorum. Like Toni, she does not think,nor does She want to think. Bess probablythinks a good deal more than the othersand sees their failings, but wants to imposeher own questionable morality.

The star of the evening is without doubtIrene Devlin as Carol. Touching and true,she portrays the only member of the sextetwith nothing lelt to hide: Schizophrenic asshe has been, shelis rated low by all, yet it isshe who understands most. Mistreated by.all, her presence is vital to adjusting thelens for a. sharp exposure of every one oftherln. She is the only one to give aCh ristmas present with her heart, yet she is

what comes naturally to them.They dbn't know how you're sup-posed to act at a HomecomingFootball game, so they do whatthey feel like doing - sometimeswith spectacular results. (The vi-sion of Leo as HomecomingQueen is certainly among mymost prized collection of mentalsnapshots of MalIT).

I -have enjoyed many differentaspects of MIT sports over theyears. X. will never forget thosedays on the old MIT ice rinkwhen ti e was spent battlingthose frigid blasts of wind blow-ing off the Charles. I will never

forget those rugby games played_In a rain-drenched mudbowl of arugby field -Vith no spectators,,of course.

On the other hand, an IvyLeague football weekend issomething which everyone shouldexperience at least once. There issomething special about thetailgate picnics in the crispautumn air, the Dartmouth bon-fires, the bourbon and cider at thegame, and the midnight punches

,on fraternity row at Dartmouth.To tell the truth, I don't know

which world I prefer - they'reboth unique.

By Gordon R. HalfThe uniqueness of MIT sports

as espoused by generations of TheTech sports editors is somethingwhich'is regarded as self-evidentaround MIT. But are MIT sportsunique, as people around herebelieve them to be?

I have had frequent occasion tothink back upon M IT sports frommy vantage point in Hanover,NHl. I would hasten to point outthat Dartmouth and the rest ofthe ivies are very different fromthe -big -state universities.However, even among the Ivies,Dartmhouth is in many ways dis-tinctive.

Unlike;a school such as Har-vard, Dartmouth is isolated fromcivilization (Hanover, nice townthat it is, simply doesn't qualify ascivilization, with a total popula-tion of about 6,000). This sense ofisolation promotes a certain bondamong people at the school whichis rarely seen at most places.

Just as significantly, there is agreat deal of class spirit, especial-ly among the 'shmen (Dartmouthslang for frosh). The freshmenbuild a bonfire before the two ma-jor home football games of thefail (Honmecoming Weekend-andHouseparties Weekend). Theyalso spell out their class numberon the field at halftime of everyootlball game. Class spirit is

something which I never saw on aschool-wide level at MIT.Probably the only times the ma-jority of an 1 IT class get togetherare at the freshman picnic and atgraduation.

Perhaps you are wonderingwhat this has to do with a com-parrison of sports at MIT andDartmouth. These two issues arerelated because sports are woveninto the social aspect of life atmost schools. It may not be as ob-vious at MIT as at Dartmouth,but sit down aind think about it

ball game will outdraw many var-sity sports contests.'.

Attendance at Dartmouth in-tramurars is similar to MIT's.There are two basic leagues -dormitory and fraternity, with nobreakdown within those divi-sions. Thus, on the whole, IM's ingeneral- are as rough and hard-hitting as A or B league is here. Inaddition, I M field space is subser-

for a second. How many livinggroups at MIT are broughttogether by common interests inwhich sports play an integralpart?

There is more similarity thanone might expect between sportsat M IT and Dartmouth -between a technically-orientedschool in a city and a smaller
