TechnologyResearchers at MIT and Massa-

chusetts General Hospital (MGH)are clinically testing an artificialskin that should provide a per-manent replacement for irre'para-bly damaged skin, according toDr. loannis V. Yannas '59 of theDepartment of Mechanical Engi-neering.

Yannas, Dr. Dennis Orgill '83and Mr. Eugene Skrabut '69, allof MIT's Department of Me-chanical Engineering, have colla-borated with Dr. John F. Burkeof MGH to develop Stage 2 artifi-cial skin.

Stage 2 artificial skin is an im-provement over Stage 1, whichYannas and his research teamhave worked on for over a dec-ade. He has already successfullytested Stage I skin on humnanburn victims. -

Whereas Stage I skin only pro-motes regrowth of the dermis -the innermost layer of skin -Stage 2 also promotes the growthof new epidermis, said Yannas.The epidermis is the functionallycrucial outer layer of skin.

The fist step in makting artifi-cial skain is identical for Stages Iand 2. Yannas makes a template,of collagen fibers taken fromcowhide.

The template provides a latticearound which the body's -own

The meeting supplement ex-plained that "the minimumamount of elective time can varyfrom 12 to 60 units, dependingon the departmental program,and upon the extent to which stu-dents take [humanities] subjects,and in some case restricted electi-ves."

Smith's proposal would also re-quire that at least 96 units ofcourses be from MIT subjects.This restriction is designed toprevent transfer students cross-registered at other colleges fromhaving too few MIT subject-s on.their MI1T transcripts.

The proposal would alsochange the residence requirementfor an undergraduate degree tothree terms from two.

The main idea of the changes,Smith said, is to) "define moreclearly what constitutes an under-graduate curriculum and whatdesignates a bachelor's degree atMIT."

"Keeping track of four subjectsis healthier than keeping track offive," Smith said, adding thatproposal stresses a reduction inthe number of nine unit classes infavor of 12 unit subjects.

.Professor Mark Wrighton, un-dergraduate curriculum chairmanof the Department of Chemistrypresented a proposal to eliminateG.neral Biology (7.01)- and

Chemical Thermodynamics (5.60)from Sthe list of courses whichsatisfy the general Institute sci-ence requirements.

"Neither of the two subjectsmeet the spirit of the require-ment," Wrighton said. The meet-ing notes added, "these coursesare unrealistic beginning coursesfor most students."

changes in the Humanities andSocial Sciences requirement. Thenew policy would require stu-dents to take eight subjects,-with_ no unit minimum. More human-ities subjects, however, would betwl-lve unit classes rather thannine.

antee that all students have atleast 48 units of unrestricted elec-tives. Now "there is no specifiedlower limit on1 the amount ofelective time available to-stia-dents,"states the meeting notes.

The faculty will vote on thestructural changes at its nextmeeting, scheduled for May 15.

Looking ahead

Provost Francis E. Low pre-sented a report on a long-rangeplan for MIT, which resultedfrom the work of a ten-memberplanning committee Low chaired.

Low outlined ill the reportMIT's long-range goals, including"research and educational initia-tives," and the attraction of "amore diverse undergraduate stu-dent body.-

Other long-range goals includ-ed attracting more women andminorities to MIT and increasingthe Institute's endowmenlt. Hesaid this should raise faculty sala-ries, lower research costs andprovide more financial aid to stu-dents.

John M. Deutch 561, who willreplace Francis E. Low '57 asProvost effective July 1, has an-nounced plans to institute a "ma-jor appraisal and improvement ofundergraduate education atMIT" by reorganizing the Pro--vost's, Office.

The plan centers upon the es-tablishment of an Office for theDean of Undergraduate Educa-tion (ODUE), according to apress release issued by Deutch.The ODUE will conduct an in-tensive appraisal of undergrad-uate education at MIT and willimplement advised changes.

"It is an idea whose time hascome. At MIT it is clear the un-dergraduate education is too in-tense and its scope is too nar-row." Keyser said,

MacVicar said that some ideasof how to improve MIT alreadyexist. "There could be more syn-chronization and coordination ofcourse content - for example,math and physics. fAP could of-fer a greater emphasis on human-

Deutch explained.Deutch will appoint Prof. Sam-

Margaret L. A. MacVicar '65,professor of Physics and Greenprofessor of education, will benamed Dean for UndergraduateEducation.

The newly created OD:UE willconsist of Keyser and MacV~icar,as well as Dean for Student Af-fairs Shirley M. McBay and Deanof the Graduate School FrankPerkins '55.

MIT is not alone in evaluatingundergraduate education, accord-ing to Keyser. Many universities,

r tests new skincells can begin to grow. The col-lagen lattice slowly degrades, ide-ally at roughly the same rate asnew tissue forms in the wound,Yannas said.

If a burn wound is smallerthan a half-dollar, the skin canregenerate itself without toomuch damage by growing inwardfrom the edge of the wound. Butwith a burn wound any larger,"the dermis is not spontaneouslyregenerable, and instead you getscar tissue," Yannas said.

The purpose of the~ collagentemplate is to "channel the pro-cess of wound healing away fromscar synthesis to the synthesis ofdermis+-" he said.

To prevent water loss and in-fection, Yannas places a siliconelayer over the collagen template,which acts as a temporary epider-mis.

After the dermis -has regrown,which usually takes about20days, Yannas replaces the sili-acone layer with patches of epider-mis taken from unburned partsof the victim's body. These skinpatches grow together; creating anew epidermis.

The problem with Stage I skainwas that when large portions ofthe patient's body are severely-burned, it was difficult to findenough unburned Skill to patchup the epidermis.

Stage 2 skin eliminates thisproblem by providing an epider-mis as well as a dermis, Yannas

Weisskopf gave five reasons forthe steady increase in the nucleararsenals of the world since 1945:

o Fear of a first strike. This isan irrational fear, he claimed, be-cause "both the United Statesand the Soviet Unlion have a largeportion of their arsenals stockedin submarines, which are nearlyimpossible to locate."

* Fear of being weaker thanathe other side. "Both countrieshave approximately equal de-strtt~niv power," Weisskopf said.

ahead of the Soviets militarilythat they could never catch up,he explained.

Weisskopf added that the pur-poses of human rights would bebest served if the United Statescooperated with the SovietUnion.

The next two speakers echoedWeisskopf's sentiments. Morrisondiscussed the evolution of scienti-fic thought from the time whenDanish physicist Niels Bohr firstdescribed nuclear fission in 1938.He said that the world is madeup of two institutions, nationsand science, and that the two areengaged in conflict..

The best way to avoid nuclearholocaust, according to Morri-son, is to change the political cli-

mate from one of Mututal hotlity to one of mutual trust. °ATh

Other faculty members at LoAlamos who worked for the sym.Posium included Professors Herbert S. Bridge PhD '50, Dean ofScience Martin Deutsch '37, An.thony P. French, David H. FricPhD '47, Cyril S. Smith '26, Jer.rold. R. Zacharias, and PresidentEmeritus Jerome B. Wiesner,who was unable to speak at theevening session. Professor BrunoB. Rossi also worked on theManhattan Project but was un-available.

o Fear of being outnumberedin a certain type of armament,such as land-based or submarine-based missiles.

0 The perception of the otherside's actions as aggressive. "TheUnited States considered the oc-cupation of Afghanistan to be anoffensive act, while the SovietUniion perceived it as a defensivemove. Likewise, our governmentconsiders its involvement inSouth America necessary to stopthe spread of Communism, whileour involvement is viewed asagressive by the Soviets."

also emphasized this, showingthat the main goal of many ofthe physicists at Los Alamos hadbeen to develop the atomic bombbefore the Germans did. Whenthe Germans surrendered, howev-er, research did not slow down.

"The last four decades haveshown us one thing," he said."Negotiations . . . have very littlechance of success.

The only solution to the armsrace, he continued, will bethrough a mutual understandingof how all policies will be viewedby the other side. 'It is not reallythe reality that counts, but theperception," Weisskopf added.

A vast majority of the peopleI've known live their lives underan illusion. They put up defensemechanisms. They turn to boozeand drugs. Some are extremelyreligious. Some are fanatic aboutsome cause or other. Some try tobe something they aren't. Othersdon't want to be what they can.The common thread is they're allconfused - inside, and deepdown.

That is the point, we cannotfind the meaning of life, so whybother trying? Why not do whatinterests us, even if that meansputting on a mask and pretend-ing?

Something happens to a personwho overworks or overstresseshi.mself for too long. It's calledburn out. By the time springbreak rolled around I'd had it. Ihated MIT. I hated dorm rife. Iwas angry that my friends didn'tseem to be having the problems Iwas. I even targeted those whowere having troubles,, as theyseemed to havre found some wayof dealing with their troubles.

I wasn't thrilled with my par-ents either,, for although theywere and are extremely support-ive, their incessant questioningand commenting on how 'nor-mal' my problems were was quiteannoying. I spent the first half ofmny vacation moping and sleep-ing.

Exactly when it happened I'mnot sure, but soon I began to re-alize that it wasn't MIT, myfriends, or my famnily, I was an-gry at. But, rather, I was angry atmyself. First for not anticipatingthat I would have academic prob-lems, and second for spendingnearly all my waking hours tryingto alleviate those problems. Iwas, quite simply, upset with theway my life was going. But, Ididn't know what to do about it.

Again, not a unique problem,but certainly an important one. Itried to find a solution (which,incidentally, I haven't yet found)in two ways: observing and talk-inlg. Both yielded quite interest-ing results. My father's advicewas that I shouldn't attack emo-tional problems as if they werescientific challenges; I didn't evenrealize I was doing that until I'dreread this last paragraph.

I looked around at what otherpeople were doing with theirlives: how they coped with prob-lems, what their interests were,what their personal philosophies

Life runs in cycles. Experiencesyou've had in the past suddenlyrepeat. At least, that's how mylife seems to work.

Every so often I go throughwhat is popularly termed an"identity crisis," a period of in-tense introspection, self-doubt,confusion anld, occasionally, de-pression. This, I am told, is noth-ing abnormal. Everyone has theseperiods. They're a necessary stepin the maturity process; eventual-ly you'll snap out of it. I agree. -It's happened to me before, and Ihave come out of it, usually withsome conclusion regarding mylife and how I want to live it.

Why then was it so surprisingwhen I recently found myselfgrappling over the meaning' oflife? It was bound to happen. I'dcome into my second term atMIT still smug about my abiltiesto succeed here. I'd done wellduring the first term withoutneeding pass/fail (it seemed rath-er unnecessary). I'd made plentyof new friends, done new and ex-citing things, and so on. Collegewasn't so hard after all.

Unfortunately this good for-tune didn't survive very long. Ibegan to experience some aca-demic difficulties. I was sinkingrapidly, to be precise. It may be acommon experienlce, but for thefirst time in my life I was actuallystudying hard, and failing. Me,fail? Me, who had breezedthrough school all my life, sud-denly having trouble?

Yes, obviously I should. WhenI got here, I was told that MITwas an extremely humbling place,and boy do I now believe it. For-tunately I am on pass/fail, andwith the aid of extra help -ses-sions, panic periods and manymnorning hours spent under theelectric lamps (Who burns mid-night oil anymore?), I have final-ly managed to get back on track.

Warning: this column is prob-ably sexist. I apologize in ad-vance for it.

When I was a freshman, Icomplained once that the poorratio of women to men at MITcaused me frustration. I was giv-en a lot of advice about this.

Some of it was personal, whichI will pass over as irrelevant (read"embarrassing"). There were twomajor suggestions: "Try Welles-ley (or Simmons, etc.)", and"Wait till you're a junior."

I rejected the first piece of ad-vice as soon as I discovered that Igreatly preferred MIT women.They were smarter, more mature,more interesting, and closer. I didnot take the second suggestionvery seriously.

That was a long time ago. Ihave since learned that "wait tillyou're a junior" describes a so-ciological phenomenon at MIT. Iwould have probably found soph-omore year less frustrating if Ihad thought more about that ad-vice.

Most MIT students, like mostof the rest of the human race,tend to form monogamous rela-tionships with members of theopposite sex. When any sexforms a large majority of thepopulation, some frustration isbound to arise.

These activities are just asspontaneous, though perhaps lessdestructive, as those mentionedby Bein. Furthermore, this free-dom was the intent of spreadingthe prefrosh around to the morethan 150 hostesses.

Perhaps some members of theadministration do impose restric-tions, and after all, officials of aninstitution sometimes must dothis for the common good, but Ido not see the admissions officedoing it. As far as the spontane-ity goes, Mr. Bein, I ame sure theadministration would be pleasedif you could suggest some addi-tional spontaneous events forthem to plan.

TO the Editor:I wvish to take exception to An-

First. the organizers of thisprogram, Lora Silverman and,Marilee Jones, should be com-frnended for their careful plan-ning, li-P-lt organization, and cre-atise scheduling efforts. Thepreviem was very enthusiasticallyattended. our visitors were gener-alv quite impressed, and dormfloors hosting the prefrosh en-joyed having them. With onlyone year of experience to draw onthese results are remarkable.

Second, Bein's contention thatthe prefrosh were not shownspontaneity is silly. The adminis-tration did not restrict these pre-frosh. The only mildly restrictiveguideline was to keep activitieson campus: necessary for legal li-ability considerations. Of course,if an ambitious host or prefroshdecided to privately go into Bos-ton for some sightseeing or night-l ife, nobody would stop them.

In fact, the admissions officeactually encouraged spontaneity.!The visiting women all stayedwith individual women students'in their dormitory or houserooms for three nights.

To the Editor:In the Friday, Apr. 5 edition of

The Tech, Craig Jungwirth's arti-cle "Police arrest nine in protestmarch" was very poorly report-ed. To start with, the number ofprotesters at the march was ap-proximately 300, not 50 as re-ported. Second, the "specula-tion' that "the students were slotaffiliated with MIT" was wrong- I am an MIT student and -wasbeaten and arrested. And third,the cause of the arrests was notfor 'blocking traffic OF someth-ing," but was a very clear attackof the police on the marchers.The following is an account Iwrote soon after being arrested.

3/4/,95: Today I was arrestedand beaten up for asking a po-liceman "Aren't you out of yourjurisdiction? "

Let me place this in context.Today there was a march fromBU past MIT to Harvard to pro-test apartheid in South Africa,Reagan's budget, and interven-tion in Central America. It was alegal march, and no one wasplanning on being arrested.

On the bridge the first personwas arrested. He was handing outflyers about the march to thestopped rush-hour traffic. Whenthey literally threw him in a po-lice car approximately 100marchers surrounded the car. Atthis point we should have all justsat down -but in the heat of themoment everyone stoo~d aroundthe car yelling "let him go!' andbanging on the car. This reallymade the police go crazy.

Will talkingand 'observingsolve crisis?

(Continued from Page 4)trying to understand life, thangive up trying to solve the prob-lem.

I also spent, or at least tried tospend, time talking to peopleabout these thoughts, aboutwhether or not they too were pla-gued with confusions and self-doulbts, insecurities and fears. I-spoke to my friends, who I real-ized really were friends, in thehopes they'd shed some light onthe subject. What happened was-really surprisinlg.

People don't want to admitthey have these fears, (or doubtsif fear is too strong a word). Peo-ple would rather keep their trou-bles bottled up inside them thantalk about them with others. Iwasn't expecting words of wis-dom from anyone but -the best Ireceived was an occasional yeah,I feel that way sometimes, but Idon't let it bother me.

Why not? How can't you?What do you do to define whereyou want to go, what you wantto do? This is what I wanted to,know, and nobody was even willsiniz to drop their guard and saythat they didn't know either.

So I've come to the end of mytale. If I sound slightly pessimis-tic it's only because I haven't yetpulled through my crisis. At leastI'm beginning to realize what'sbothering me. My hope is thatsomeone reading this column willidentify with it and say hey, I'vethought about that also. MaybeI'm not alone in this. Maybe thenext time someone wants to sitand talk I won't give short, curtanswers and chanege the subject.Even the best of frends fall intothis situation.

Communication. It's a difficultthing, especially at a place likeMIT. If I can be honest in TheTech, you can share your feelingswith a friend.

melodies with grace and control, yet with-out losing the lightheartedness, which isthe life of the piece.

To set matters straight, The SymphonieEspangnole is nlot a symphony as such.Rather, it is a five movement violin concer-to miisnamed. In each of the five move-ments, the Orchestra provides the theme atthe onset, and the soloist elaborates it.The Orchestra merely follows along, sug-

getin nwmaterial for the soloist to ex-ploit.

Mutter gave the fast sections a brisk andclear delivery, yet was able to be delicateand sincere during the few slow portionsin the fourth movement. But contrary tothe Mendelssohn, this was a fun, not aprofound piece, and I would rather haveheard something more taxing.

Though the Symphonie E~spagnote wasthe highlight of the evening. the finalpiece, Ravel's Alborada del Cracioso, washardly anticlimnactic. Like Lalo's piece, theAlborada is' the work of a Frenchmanevoking images oyf Spain. The French wereparticularly adept at this; witness Bizet'sCarmen, written at the same time as theSymphonie- Espagnole.

The Alborada del Gracioso is an ebul-lient piece, constantly changing mood andrhythm. At times, two of the themes areplayed by different instruments at the sametime. Although the effect is somewhat dis-sonant, it is not at all disagreeable for acomic piece. Fun is contagious, and the or-chestra certainly spread it.

The BSO was able to exult in this won-derful noise without making the disso-nance grating on the nerves. Quite thecontrary: the experience was somewhatakin to splashing paint about on a canvas.Although the result is no Michelangelo,the experience is refreshing and exhilarat-ing.

Michael Tuchman

The Boston Symphony Orchestrm, con-ducted by Seiji Ozawa, Anne-Sophie Mut-ter, soloists Thursday at Symphony Hall,repeated Friday at 2, Saturday and Tues-day at 8.

Anne-Sophlie Mutter gave a brilliant per-formance of Lalo's Symphonie Espagnolemn her Thursday night performance withthe BSO. The BSO handled itself quitecompetently as well. Actually, more than

Tile first piece on the program, M~en-delssohn's Symphony #5, Reformation,was indicative of the level of performanceenjoyed for the rest of the evening. TheReformation symphony was written tocelebrate the tricentennial of the Diet ofWorms, the congress at which protestant-ism emerged as a unified movement inGermany. As such all occasion would de-mannA, the piewe WaLS Without rninrfullmelody, but rather was solemn and majes-tic.

Although the orchestra started off a bitslowly, it did not take long for Ottawa tobring his shop under control. The firstmovement was somber and powerful,though somewhat dissonant. Melody isnot really important here: what is impor-tant is that the mood be set for the hymn"A mighty fortress is our God," that con-

stitutes the fourth movemlent.The second movement was a repetition

of a quite. simple theme. It had its mo-ments of beauty, but it was nothing mind-boggling. The highlight of the third move-ment was the flute solo leading up to theChorales And what a Chorale! Ozawabrought the power and unity of the orches-tra to bear on it. An impressive show.

The second half of the concert was char-acterized-by more colorful fare. Lalo's me-lodic and sensuous Sympnhonie Espagnolebecame Anne-Sophie Mutter's playground,as she romped through Laloes Spanish

The Three Caballeros, at Off the WallCinema; Fantasia, at the Sack Charles.

I'm no expert on animation, but I knowwhat I like -and I definitely like TheThree Caballeros, a 1944 Disney moviewhich Off the Wall Cinema has broughtback this week. It is a joyous celebrationof life in the musical tradition of the1940s.

Combining animation with live action,The Three Caballeros proves that cartoonand real characters are not only compati-ble, but can also complement each othersuperbly.

The movie features Donald Duck whenhe was,- still a star, before he was relegatedto a minor role in Disney'bs stable of publicrelations figures. Donald is well-supportedby Jose Carioca and Panchito, two smart-aleck showmen out to show Donald agood time in Latin America. The charac-ters are playfully charming in a way that'sjust suited to the extent of our belief inthem.

The action starts a little slowly, openingwith a piece about a penguin who wants tolive in the tropics. For a while, I thoughtthis movie was going to be another stan-dard Walt Disney blurb.

But the scene soon shifts to a more up-beat feature on South American birds.When Jose Carioca shows up, there's noturning back: the movie turns into one bigMardi Gras-like party; Panchito rolls infor the last third- and the film reaches itsjoyous climax. Donald, Jose, and Pan-chito are united as three caballeros, flyingaround Mexico on a magic carpet, dancingtheir feathers off.

The Sachertorte AlgorithmAnd Other Antidoes to Computer AnxietyBy John ShoreThe "Sachertorte Algorithm" won't tell you what "PC" tobuy or what to type into it, but it will provide the foun-dation necessary to understand programs controllingour financial institutions, weapon systems and nuclearreactors. The beauty of this book is its accessability andwholistic approach. Finally making some sense out of allthat computer jargon for the peanut farmer, it coversthe basics of computing, but is just as relevant to theprogrammer. Highly commendable and rare indeed, isthe high-tech author who can dispel Orwellian night-mares with a dessert recipe! I mbeanan *s,, y,.,
