"We have almost a unique op-portunity for- alumni toperpetuate their ties to the In-stitute," declared MIT AlumniAssociation -President Joe Moore'52 at the 'Senior- Dinlner' onMarch first. The dinner, one ain aseries, was intended to introduceMIT seniors to the Alumnli As-sociation, its purposes, services,anld other functions.

Moore noted in his statementthat MIT alumni are remarkablyinvolved, pointing- out that of60,00liv'n-g alumni nearly one-third are active. He also cited theninety alumni clubs in variouscities, whose activities range from"beer busts and wine lasting" tomore intellectual diversions in-cluding lectures' by distinguishedscientists.

Among the activities andprograms of the Alumni Associa-tion mentioned by Moore in hisstatement were th~e Student Sulm-mer Employment Program, classreunions, campus conferences,anid various 1AP programs.Moore also noted the Alumni As-sociation's responsibility forTechnology Review and keeping

records on all alumni, includingcurrent addresses andbiographies. Much of the work,he said, is accomplished by agroup of 4500 alumni Mooreidentified as "leaders" of thegroup.

Staff memnbers of the AlumniAssociation were then in-troduced. Among those in-troduced were Barbara Durland,the Director of Alumni Records,Dr. Jim Hester '65, the Associa-tion's recently appointed Ex-.ecuitive' Vice President, and JoeMar-tori, the director of Class andCourse Programs. -

Hester pointed out that alumniprograms have "'*evolved" overthe past ten years and suggestedthat those involved in the AlumniAssociation were invol-vedbecause it was mutuallybeneficial. Martori asked all ofthe seniors in attendance to goback to their classmates and "tellthem you had a good time,'* men-tioning that seven or eight'moredinners are plan~ned. He also sug-gested that seniors take seriouslythe elections for class officers asthey will be electing officers toserve for five years.

One of the worst ideas ever conceived was that of a peacetime draftIn the S~ixties, this idea was responsible for the loss of thousand's of livesin Vietnam and caused the most violent domestic upheaval since theCivil War. Yet some prominent, influential politicians are seriouslysuggesting that the peacetime draft be revived.

Leading the way is Representative Paul McCloskey, Richard Nix-on's only Republican challenger in the 1972 primaries. McCloskey hasproposed a "national services' which would give all 18 year-olds -women as well as men -three options: two years of service in themilitary; one year of service in a school, hospital, jail, or urban ghetto;or susceptibility to a peacetime draft for six years.

On the surface, "national service" seems innocuous. A year of socialwork might help develop a sens'e of social responsibility in teenagers. Itwould also likely cut teenage unemployment. However, the danger of-nationtal service" is its- emphasis on military service. In fact, itsprimary purpose is to increase the number of military recruits. As such,it is nothing more than a sugar-coated peacetime draft.

Although teenagers who want to avoid the military could choose ayear of social service, the plan would force some people to join themilitary through the peacetime draft. Miany 1 8-year-olds would registerfor the peacetime draft because of plans such as marriage which wouldbe interrupted by a year of"'national service. Other 18-year-oldswould avoid immediate service because of the need to get a high payingjob to support their family. These people, who come mostly from thelower socioeconomic groups, would be fairly subjected to the militarydraft, and the draft would suffer from the same class distinctions whichhalve plagued most other drafts including the Vietnam War..pealcetime"' draft.

F urthermoBre, many others might register for the draft simplybecause the initial risk of being conscripted was very low. If this risksuddenly changed two years later, these people would be unwillinglyforced into the military.

The real danger of '"national service," however, is what the militarywould do with the extra recruits and the availability of other recruitsthrough the peacetime draft. Would the President or Congress orderthe milit~ary into new Vietnams?

Remarks on foreign policy by two possible Presidential contendersare alarming. Ronald Reagan was quoted in Tinme as saying: '*I'mbeginning to wonder if the symbol of the United States pretty soon isn'tgoing to be ain aImbassandor with a flag uder his arm climbing into thleescape helicopter." Would Reagan have sent a million Americantroops back to Southeast Asia when the Loll Nol and Thieu regimeswere c~ollalpsing'

Even usualily restrained Howard Baker has made some unsettlingremalrk-.. Tihne quoted him a3s saying: "There is a growing view thatAmerica is a patsy and we never retaliate. We do more with someonewho shoots a cop than someone who assassinates an ambassador."Would Balker send an expeditionary force trudging into Afghanistanl'

The lessons of Vietnam should show that military adventurism,made possible by a peacetime draft, mulst be avoided in everyrealsonaxble waly. The time has passed whzen Amrerica can install itschosen lealdersi in the governments of foreign nations. There never waIsaI time when America could really control *the internal affairs of otherc~ounatries.

The peateetime draft of "naltional servisce"' would encourage a returnof' the military aldvenlturism of the past. The benefit wto be gained byhavinlg extra soldiers at the ready does not outweigh this added dangerof national ernbairassmlent. For this reason alone, the peacetime draft isa bad ideal.

F~ortunlataely, most observers don't give passage of a "national ser-vice"^ act~ muc~h of Ma chance right now. However, as the 1981 electionsapp~roanch, students should watch out for candidates who spoutjingoistic demagoguery about the m-eans for accomplishing o~ur foreignpolicy. Otherwise, expectl unpleasalnt "greetings'' at the: beginning of'1981.

When the Technology Commu-nity Association made the mis-take of printing a picture of agorilla with the subtitle "HarveyGrogo, Kampala, Uganda" in itsFreshman Picturebo~ok two yearsago, the M IT Administrationquickly and forcefully condemnedthe act as a "racist slur entirelyunalccptable in this community."

But in a little-noticed "State-ment on South Af~rican Inves;t-menits," printed in the August 16,1978 Tech TWA-, the ExecutiveCommittee of the M IT Corpor-atio)n declared that it "shouldmake no formal declaration re-galrding apartheid even though

each member of the ExecutiveCommittee opposes apartheid inprinciple and specifically as apolicy of the governxment of SouthAfrica . . ." This, according to theExecutive Committed, conformsto MIT's "long-standing policy"'-of "avoiding taking institutionalpositions on political issues."

Apparently racism in SouthAfrica is, if not entirely ""accpt-able", at least tolerated by theMIT community. While acknowl-edging that US corporationsshould be discouraged from ex-tpanding in South Africa, theEixecutive Comrmittee rejectedeven the mild recommendation of

the Advisory Committee on Share-holder Responsibility (ACSR)that American companies should'not sell photographic~and compu-ter equipment to the South Afri-can government. This is how MITavoids taking -anl "institutionalposition": it lets the companiesthat it partially owns continue tohelp South Africa maintain its re-pressive regime.

(Continuedfrom page 4,it believes in humanism, as it pur-ports to do in the Catalogue, or inradicalism, as it often appears todo In actual practice. -It inust! acskitself whether it believes in certaineternal standards of life and art,or whether it believes that all suchstandards may be safely dis-carded. If it chooses the latter,then it must be willing to bear allthe consequences of such achoice. It must, for example, beprepared to suffer 1960's-styleriots in perfect equanimity,should they ever happen again.

But if it opts for specific stan-dards, then it must identify thebooks that most persuasively ex-press thelm. The professorteaching them must be hired notaccording to whether he holds aPh.D., c. by how much he haspublished, but by how well he caninspire students with thosecivilized values.

That is what the administrationmust do. Given the importance ofthis matter, and the amount oftuition students are paying, can itafford to do anything less?

Byg Joel WestAI'e Deer Hunt~er has been getting a big

build-up. It garnered 9 Academy Awardnominations, including Best Picture.Critics are calling it the best film of 1978,

andonesai "it's easily the most powerfulmovie in years." For its local engagement,Sack has even instituted a special ticket ar-rangement, with printed tickets, advancesales, and of course a hefty $5 price tag.

'After all the build-up Deer Hunter hasreceived, it was disappointing to see themovie and discover that it wasn't even agood Film, let alone a great one. Beneaththe tangled fabric of myth that has beencreated fies very little indeed.

The movie covers the period from thelate 60's to the fall of Saigon in, 19715. It'scentered aroundl a small steel town in Penn-

Photography Vilmos Zsigmnond has made afilm in which .each camera -angle, eachchoice of backdrop is unquestionable.

And therein lies the- poblem: a lack of

people but actors being paid good moneytoa make noises, and standt there.

' The actinmg is not bad - Walken is excel-lent,, while Rutayana Aida (as Savage'swife) has a magnificent scene when 'she istoo defeated 'to utter a sound. De Nkio, in-conagruouasly, looks more at case in a tux-edo thans is supposed "'normal" attire of theblue collar worker; the director has solvedthis problem by leaving him-in his Rangerdress uniform for the last third of theemovie. As Mike, De Nim -is good, but issomewhat ban dicapped by- the absolutelyunreal nature of the chraracter written.

The message Cimnino is trying to conveyis obvious enough: the war is pointless, itdestroyed Ojeople mentally and physically,it was grim and awful and all that 70'shingsight. If this had been made in 1969, itwould have: said something valuable andoriginal; now, it is by no means the det"PniteVietnam W~bar-movie, and doesn't even do agood job of presenting the conventionaltruismns it draws from the period.

that is ever made it to the screen. Theepremise sounds like that of a campfire-sidehorror tale, and the script must read like afilmaking text (Chapter 5: CommonMistakes); yet the sum of the parts elicits

more than a few well-deserved screamsfrom the aud~ience.

-A nQIghtofThe Yellow 'Wallpaper and I Can Feel the

Air, Boston Artsr Group Theatre. Stage -T~wo.367 Bovlsrvto St. Directed by James Wit-iaJniS a'wd Fd obert Deveau; starrig MaryC'halon, Aletar Mloss, anrd Michael Rini. Nowthrough Martc 18.

1t Margie BealeAs part of its continuing women's

theatre series, the Boston Arts Group iscurrertly presenting two original one-actplays by and about women, Ann Titolo's1he Yellow Wallpaper and Lis Adams' IC'an Feel the Air. In one respect, the twopieces complement each other well, for thefirst treats the repression of women in Vic-torian England, while the second depictsFrench authoress 'Colette's successfulstruggle to free herself of her husband,-critic Henri Gautier-Villars, in order tobecome an independent creative entity.However, the first play is clearly superiorto the second in both conception and ex-ecution, and this makes for a most unfor-.tunate contrast.

7hfe Yellow Wallpaper, based on a shortstory by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, traceswith considerable sensitivity the psy-chological. deterioratior' of a young womanwho: has fallen victim to a fit ofmelancholia, and finds herself unable torecover while trapped in the stifling tediumof a country retreat, subject to 'her hus-band's rather oppressive ministrations.Gilman, herself a repressed Victorian wife,has created a finely drawn portrait of awoman in desperation which is fullyworthy of the wider exposure a stage adap-tion might give it. Still, the artistic validityof Titolo's adaption is questionable, for itis clear that although certain portions of'the story translate admirably into drama,.other segments might have remained formore effective in print.

Mary Chalon is engaging and convincingas this prototypical mad housewife, for sheexplores her character's implicit acceptanceof societal. attitudes towards women, as

well as her resentment for these very socialstrictures that smother her under the amas-sed weight of institttioilal authority. Shehas captured his woman's sense of outrage,tlnd manages to convey both her demuregentility and the violence within her that isonly so marginally supressed. As shedestroys the pattern of the yellow wal-lpaper in, her sickroom-prison, she isfascinating in her futile, yet emotionally aif-fecting attempt to escape the social pres-sures that bid her keep every last thoughtwell within the ·bounds of propriety.Chalon's acting lends this piece the inten-sity that makes it finally compelling and ef-fctive feminist theatre.

I C' tm Feel the-Ait is, by comparison, arather anticlimatic conclusion to this even-ing of women's drama. Author Lis Adamshas attempted to present sixteen years ofmarried life and professional developmentin a single act, and succeeds only'in leavingherself insufficient time for the develop-ment of the emotional subtleties that wouldlend this work credibility. Fortunately forAdams, the story of Colette's struggle forartistic integrity is sufficiently interesting tohold an audience's attention in spite of herslipshod treatment of the material.

AU too frequently during this secondproduction, we~find that significant mo-ments are dismissed with no further com-mentary than platitudes which are intendedto pass for wisdom. The emotionsdelineated are superficial at best, and therperformers were generally hindered in theircharacterizations by the limitations of thescript. The various symbolic motives cor-porated into the plot are heavy-handed andlacking in the levels of suggestive meaningthat would make them intriguing. Thereare moments of clarity and originality inthe summary philosophizing which con-cludes the play, yet this degenerates intothe feminist rhetoric that has lost its impactwith continual repetition.

Aleta Moss if appropriately bright andmatter-of-fact, is somewhat self-consciousand mannered as Coletle, while MichaelRini is inconsistent and relatively unin-spired as her husband Willy. Janet Rodgersis, at moments, able to transcend thelimitations of her lines, she gives us an in-sightful, if unsteady characterization ofColette's mother.

The presentation is by no means afailure, for Mary Chalon's performance in7I7e Yellow Wallpaper makes attendanceworthwhile, if only for the first half of theprogram. Still, Charlotte Gilman's story.the highlight of the evening, is probablymore readily accessible on a library shelf.

(Contnrtuefiromz page 6)serves a purpose: to keep youawake. Pleasance, instead ofacting, simply reads the script;newcromer Jamie Lee Curtis(Tony's daughter) plays a wimpand does it wimrpishly; andeveryone else simply mumblesthrough impossibly weakdia;logue.

John Cearpenter's direction iswhat sav.s the Film from ob-scurity - or infamy. When hetells you to jump, you do; whenhe wantls you to panic, you panic.This is surprising, when you

realize htow contrived the circum-stances are. For example, the kil-ler is stalking a house; inside, thebabysitter spilis something on herclothes, and the laundry is in ashed in the backyard. You knowlull well that the next few minutesis designed to make you hold yourbreath, strangely enough, that'swhat you do.

So, Carpenter is the real star ofiSalloween. Between screams, youget the reeling that his reasons formaking the film are similar toRKlph Bakshi's reasons for mak-ing WYizards - he's sharpening

his talents for a full scale master.piece (like Bakshi's Lord of theRin.s) rather than simply turningout a second-rate one. I recom-bmend staying tuned forCarpenter's next effort.

Fencing wins

New Engands

for tenth yearBy Brian F. Wibecan,

Editors noate: Brian kibecan isthe manager of the fencirtg team.

The men's fencing teamdemolished the opposition andwon the New England Charm-pionship for the tenth consecutiveyear, Saturday at S.E. Mass.University.

MIT clearly dominated thecompetition. The team finished 13bouts ahead of second place Dart-mouth, winning 64 out of a possi-ble 72 bouts. Foil, epee, and sabreall won their divisions.

year. They have reached a pointwhere they can no longer be glos-sed overX and swept under thetable. They must now be con-fronted by the new ExecCommand Council.

By Gordon R. Haffblext Sunday, Peter Lemme '80,

new IM Council Chairman, willh1old his first meeting of theCouncil. Last night I talked withLemme and he discussed theproblems of referees andeligibility in the upcoming year.

The biggest problezm whichLemme sees is referees. He saidthat at the upcoming M ITAAmeetinlg he would pressure forsome sort of reffing claiss. Hementioned that these classescould probably be integrated withsome sort of pay r~aise inicentive-for example, those who take theclass might start off with highersalaries than those who do not.

Lemme said that he felt refs notknowing how to) handle gamesituations caused many of the re-cenxt referee abuse problems. Inparticlular, he rnentioned that inbas~ketball, "referees have thepower to call a technical. Theycain't abuse this power, though. Agood referee doesn't have aproblern. B~etter referees willplrobalbly cut down on [the in-

cidence of serious refereeabuse]."' He a~dded that basketballis a hot spot~r in which temperscaln .lare and that the refereesibuse problem WalS tougher tos~olve: in this sport than in others.

[4oo>ver, sorne people con-necteds with I M basiketball are notals c~onvinc~ed azs Lemnme that theproblem cain be cured by gettingbette~r refs. Tvm Po)tter '79, thei M Balsketball AssistantMazn ager, sa idc t hat SteveAschenatse '8 ), whio hals reportedbeingt a~busied, is; one of the betterrel:s.
