SAGA began its first week un-derstaffed by 15 full-time em-ployees and without a studentstaff; according to Jerry Lithway,food service director.'MungerHall did not open until twoweeks after classes began, due tothese staffing problems.

It took SAGA two weeks to or-ganize the student staff and ad-just to the changes in service,Lithway said. Most of theseproblems have been "squaredaway," he added, with all newworkers either hired or in place.

Kennedy wins 8th district primaryBy Julian West

night. In a talk sponsored by theLecture Series Committee, thescience fiction writer warned thatbrains which are too well-devel-oped for the tasks assigned themtend to wither away. This is, inAsimov's view, the direction inwhich mankind is headed.

in menial occupations which donot require thought. These jobsare too complex for animals, butbeneath the dignity of the humanmind, he claimed.

If this situation continues, Asi-mov foresees a degeneration inthe quality of the human brain.He predicted that evolution,which has previously favored everincreasing brain sizes, will reverseitself. "If you have a small brain,you are better suited to spendyour life doing something stu-pid," he explained.

But Asimov did find a causefor hope - modern technology.He hailed artificial intelligenceand robotics as tools with whichmankind may liberate itself fromthe burden of thoughtless labor.If robots were able to performthe menial tasks that human be-ings are now forced to do, peoplewould have more opportunity forthought and creativity, Asimovsaid. "If this were possible, itwould make larger brains desir-able."

The short term affects of sucha change would be misery, Asi-mov admitted. Such a changewould likely mean unemploymentfor the great majority of work-ers. To alleviate the pain some-what, Asimov offered a simpleremedy: "Spread the unhappi-ness.

Clark C. Abt '54, who handilydefeated Joseph M. Baldanza inthe Republican primary, andfrom Socialist Workers' Partycandidate Jon Hillson.

The campaign, which has atone time or another featured ascore of Democrats and half-a-dozen others, seems likely to be-come the most costly race for aseat in the House of Representa-tives in United States history.Kennedy, 33, an affluent business-man who runs Citizens EnergyCorp., has raised over $1 millionfor his campaign alone.

Kennedy received 58,899 votes,or about 52 percent of the bal-lots, in the primary. Kennedy hadbeen made the pre-election favor-ite by opinion polls, and receivedthe endorsements of The BostonGlobe, The Boston Herald, Bos-ton Mayor Raymond Flynn, andThomas P. O'Neill, Jr., thespeaker of the House of Repre-sentatives and the present holderof the seat.

"All right. All right. All right!Fantastic!" Kennedy said in hisvictory speech at the SheratonBoston Hotel in the Back Bay.

Kennedy's closest challengerwas State Senator George Bach-rach, who attracted 33,975 votes.That amounted to about 30 per-cent of the total in a light votingturnout. He conceded defeat ear-ly, at about 9:40 pm, some 35minutes before Kennedy's victoryspeech.

Former state representativeMelvin H. King, an adjunct pro-fessor of urban studies and plan-ning, gleaned nine percent of thevote, or 10,676 votes. JamesRoosevelt Jr., a Cambridge attor-ney, received 5,620 votes.

The remaining four percent ofthe voters favored one of sevenother candidates on the ticket, orwrote in another name. The oth-er official candidates were RobertCappucci (1,417 votes), Carla

Johnston (591), Florenzo DiDon-ato (384), Robert O'Connell(218), James Spiegel (208), and afollower of extremist LyndonLarouche, Richard Black (141).State Representative Thomas M.Gallagher, who had officiallywithdrawn from the race, re-mained on the ballot and re-ceived 306 votes.

Kennedy held the edge in thevoting throughout the 8th dis-trict. Within Bachrach's statesenate seat, Kennedy prevailed by2,568 votes, a spread of some sixpercent. Even in Bachrach'shometown of Watertown, Kenne-dy was the winner, but by a slimmargin of 44 votes. Kennedy wonby two votes over King in King'shome ward in Boston.

In neighborhoods with largeIrish populations, such as Arling-ton, East Boston, and Charles-town, Kennedy won by wide mar-gins of two-to-one or greater.

In Cambridge, the vote wassplit almost evenly between thetop two candidates, with 8,815voters favoring Kennedy and8,792 choosing Bachrach. Kingalso made a strong showing inCambridge, with 3,869 votes,some 17 percent.

The vote was also very nearlysplit in Belmont, which is inBachrach's senate district, andwhich he carried by 68 votes,with 3253.

In addition, the report calls formodification of the existingHASS concentration require-ment. The final report asks thedean of each school to rethinkwhich subjects should qualify fora concentration in each depart-ment.

The method for bringing theproposals before the faculty hasnot been determined, Maier said.There will be faculty disagree-ments, Maier admitted. Shehoped that many of the facultywould look foward to having thechance to create new courses(both within and outside of theirdepartments), to work with facul-ty from other areas of the Insti-tute, and to update MIT's HASSrequirement.

"MIT was founded with theidea of providing an educationmore suited to the modern worldthan the old, classical curricu-lum, " Maier said. "The HASSCommittee proposal, along withthe reforms being proposed bythe schools of science and engi-neering, are in that tradition,"Maier said.

"We are attempting to redefineMIT undergraduate education ina way suited to the needs of edu-cated people at this point intime," Maier said.

The new distribution require-ment would focus on contempo-rary issues, the report said. Thiswould make many of the new in-terdisciplinary courses more rel-evant to students, and thereforemore appealing to sample, Maiersaid.

Turnout was much lower in theRepublican primary, which hadgenerated very little media orpopular interest in the heavilydemocratic district. Abt, founderof a Cambridge consulting firm,won handily, by 4,899 votes to1,723, a margin of 74 percent to26 percent. Abt's support wasfairly evenly spread throughoutthe district, but was particularlystrong in Cambridge, in which hegained 86 percent of the 877votes cast.

The morning after the primar-ies, Abt challened Kennedy to adebate, attacking him for his"presidential ambitions" and af-fluence. He also questioned Ken-nedy's knowledge of the issues,and the Citizens' Energy Corpo-ration, which Abt called "a per-sonal family charity," not a realbusiness.

"We all know that the Kennedyfamily continues to harbor-and that's their perfect right-presidential ambitions and thathe has been chosen to lead thecharge for now," Abt challenged.

Chuck McDermott, Kennedy'scampaign director, said theywould be receptive to discussionof debates between the two can-didates.

Chile abuses human rightsThis summer you may have

read of the fate of Rodrigo RojasDe Negri and Carmen QuintanaArincibia at the hands of a mili-tary patrol in Santiago, Chile.Early in the morning of July 2,they were intercepted by a mili-tary patrol, beaten, doused withgasoline and set on fire. Afterthey had burned for a few min-utes, they were wrapped in blan-kets and transported to the out-skirts of the city, where they were-abandoned. Rojas died on July 5.

More recently the case of JoseCarrasco Tapia has made head-lines. According to reports,shortly .before 6 am on Septem-ber 8, 1986, Carrasco wasdragged from his home in San-tiago by men in civilian clotheswho claimed to be policemen.The police said that he was foundshot dead at the edge of a ceme-tery the following afternoon. Un-marked white vans are frequentlyused by Chilean state securityagents, and the abduction oc-curred during curfew hours whenit is unlikely that any vehiclesother than those of the govern-ment security forces would be onthe street. Although especiallydramatic, these are not isolatedincidents in Chile.

On Sept. 3, Amnesty Interna-tional began a campaign to focusworld attention on human rights

violations in Chile. Amnesty In-ternational is a worldwide grass-roots human rights organizationwhich works for the release ofprisoners of conscience: peopleimprisoned because of their po-litical, religious, or other beliefs,sex, color, or language, providedthat they have not used or advo-cated violence. Amnesty Interna-tional also works towards fairand prompt trials for all prison-ers, and for the unconditionalabolition of torture and the deathpenalty.

Amnesty International strivesto be strictly impartial. It doesnot work against governments,but against human rights viola-tions. Their standard is based oninternational human rightsagreemnets such as the UN Uni-versal Declaration of HumanRights and the International Cov-enant on Civil and PoliticalRights. Amnesty Internationaldoes not grade governments ac-cording to their record on humanrights, but instead works to endthe specific violations of humanrights in each case.

Amnesty International's cur-rent concerns in Chile are:

* The incarceration of prison-ers of conscience. A number ofjournalists, political leaders, andtrade unionists were arrested dur-ing 1985 and 1986 and charged

with slandering the governmentor with threatening public orderbecause they had publicly criti-cized the government or calledfor public protests.

* The practice of banishmentwithout charge or trial. Politicalopponents of the military govern-ment have been sent into internalexile for periods of up to threemonths.

o The continuing use of tor-ture. Torture is facilitated by anetwork of closed interrogationcenters - where relatives, evenjudges, are denied access to de-tainees - and by the restrictionof judicial controls on arrest anddetention.

* The activities of clandestineforces which Amnesty Interna-tional believes to be linked to thesecurity forces. These forces in-timidate, threaten, abduct, andphysically assault government op-ponents and their relatives andfriends.

* The killing of political op-ponents. Evidence indicates thatvictims may have been deliberate-ly executed, despite circum-stances that have been officiallydescribed as "armed confronta-tions."

* Indiscriminate shooting indistricts involved in public pro-tests. Scores of people have been

M I should-studyffauilts If Rwo -Week

IM IT should study faults of R/C WeekTo the Editors:

In extolling the Residence/Ori-entation process ["Rush is Quickand Efficient," Sept. 12], guestcolumnist Carey Rappaport cor-rectly highlights the efforts of theMIT community in this complex,fast-paced program.

Rappaport's commendations ofthe freshmen in their search forhomes and of the upperclassmenin their energy and commitmentto R/O and MIT are appropriate-ly placed. R/O week is uniquefor MIT, irr that it brings togeth-er thousands of individuals work-ing cooperatively for the benefitof the community. Rappaport'scolumn is also emotional, upbeatand inspired by the successes of awell-tempered tradition.

There are, however, those whowill look back at R/O withoutthe joys of the memory whichmost of us share. Rappaport didnot forget the shortcoming whichthese individuals experience - heacknowledged them, addressedthem, and ungraciously trivia-lized them. He argued that thepains of the "casualities" are sta-tistically insignificant ("Onlyabout six percent,") and can beproverbially justified ("occasionalrejection is part of life,") as wellas temporally resolved ("after ayear, most will be happy withtheir residence").

This, too, is a reflection ofMIT's attitude. "No system isperfect," is the perennially favor-ite response to criticism, oftenfollowed by yet another statistic,"80 percent received their firstchoice." This line of thoughtseems to indicate that R/O couldnot be improved.

Experience and direct contactwith the "casualties" of the pro-cess tell me otherwise. I workedin the Office of the Dean for Stu-dent Affairs during R/O. Here,the dormitory housing assign-ments were made, and the bruntof handling the discontented wasdirected. The concerns of thefreshmen who came to the office- and of their parents whocalled - betrayed anger, frustra-

tion, outrage, and despair.I was also exposed to the

causes of these feelings, and I be-lieve that, with good planningand cooperation, most of thesecan be resolved by increasing theawareness of these problemswithin the community and bypreparing the students more care-fully before they arrive here atMIT.

First, the suggestion of "choi-ce" is too heavily emphasizedduring R/O. Stephanie Levin'sletter ["Dorms are also livinggroups," Sept. 12] claimed that"the choice of where to live willhave a great deal to do with whatlife will be like for a person overthe next four years." The letterindicated that the student has ab-solute control over this matter.The statement assumed choiceexists, which most freshmen wereinclined to believe; but it doesn't.What do exist are lotteries foreach dormitory and the opportu-nity to choose lotteries. In princi-pal, this is a major difference inreality as well. The word "choi-ce" should be de-emphasized, re-placed by "lottery," because thatis what actually happens and, bythis, hopes will not be raised un-reasonably.

A news article written by Ak-bar Merchant ["Freshmen ReactDifferently to Senior House As-signments," Sept. 16] presentsanother case. It illustrates the ef-fects of unfortunate planning on

the part of the specific dormitorygroups. An advisory committeeought to make presentations toall living groups making sugges-tions on how to avoid negativerush impressions based on pre-vious experience and a consensusof the incoming freshmen. Thismay seem extreme to some peo-ple because the autonomy of liv-ing groups is sacred, as it oughtto be. A weakness of this solutionis that what may be bad one yearmay be popular in another year.My timid response is that thecommittee would be only adviso-ry; yet the problem would then,at least partially, be addressed.

I concede that Rappaport'sstatements are, indeed, facts -but they are not directed in themost useful manner. They em-phasize the statistics and satisfac-tions of new students after R/Ois over, but they neglect the ex-periences of these students duringR/O; and for me, there are toomany extreme cases of emotionaltrauma to allow Carey's columnto pass without comment.

As members of the MIT com-munity, undergraduates shouldbe responsible -for dealing withR/O type problems so that theymay be avoided in the future.These problems can be addressedand dealt with properly withoutaffecting the benevolent aspectsof R/O.

geniusEXPERIMENTING: A NEW WAYTO LOOK AT MODERN ARTPaintings by Matthew T Scott GIn the Wiesner GallerySecond floor of the Student Center.Through Oct. 4.

By RONALD E. BECKER

OST of the reviews of this exi-bition I had thought up inmy head involved long, con-voluted arguments about

"What Is Art?" that would spark my rise

to international fame as an art philos-opher. When I started typing, though, I

realized that I was just going to get myselfin trouble.

Experimenting is an attractive display ofworks by Matthew T. Scott G which

doesn't hesitate to philosophize on its ownright to exist and be appreciated. The

paintings are enhanced by creative "ex-

planations" which are tacked up next toeach piece.

One of my all-time favorite authors, Jo-

seph Conrad, wrote in one of his morefamous essays that "A work that aspires,however humbly, to the condition of artshould carry its justification in every line."

Though Conrad was referring primarily towritten works of art, this display of paint-

ings has enough writing to qualify.Scott even justifies his justification. In

his introduction to the exhibit he writes:"But most often I hear the phrase 'Hell, it

looks like a little kid could do that.' And,

you know, I have to agree with that opin-

ion in a lot of cases. But sometimes Ithink that the reason people don't 'get'

modern art is because it is soooo far out in

left field that it is impossible to relate to it.

And that's a valid point."So valid, in fact, that he provides an in-

side look into how he produces his art andwhat he was thinking when he made it.

One of the things that impressed me the

most about his explanations is that he

freely points out the parts of his paintings

that he doesn't like. All in all, the positivepoints outweigh the negative. "This showis filled with experiments," Scott writes.

"THIS IS A GOOFY ONE." is the open-ing statment on one, particularly interest-ing piece entitled Two Colors Have A Puz-zling Encounter. It is a small, oddlyshaped piece of cardboard with two spotsof paint which are dripping at right angles

to each other.Prayer/Heaven/Earth is a beautiful

painting which carries the admission that

Scott painted it first, and then decidedwhich way to hang it.

The winner in the "cute" category is

Technically Untitled, But Called 'Caterpil-

lar' By Some. Scott painted it, hung it inhis fraternity, and it came to be called Cat-

erpillar. It is obvious why, but Scott alsowrites that "I don't name my paintings un-til after they're done. That way I make

sure the name fits."All in all, the exhibit is pretty weird.

But, it is weird in a fun kind of way. Walk-

ing through the gallery is like a humorousminicourse in "What is Art?" and is wellworth the trip.

Crocodile

Dundee

CROCODILE DUNDEEDirected by Peter Faiman.Starring Paul Hogan andLinda Kozlowski.Opening for general release on Sept. 25.

By PETER DUNN

CENARIO: boy meets girl. Sparksfly. Unfortunately, boy and girl liveon opposite sides of the track.Will boy give up his world for

her's, or vice versa? Will romance ulti-

mately prevail?Sounds familiar? It should. This basic

storyline has been used since the dawn offilm, most recently in such movies as The

Purple Rose of Cairo, Pretty in Pink, and

Splash. Now Peter Faiman has made a filmwhich retells this same old story with the

addition of a few twists.Crocodile Dundee is the nickname of a

tour guide in the Northern Territories of* Australia who, as myth has it, crawled sev-

eral miles back to civilization after his leg

was chewed off. Paul Hogan (who co-

wrote the screenplay) plays this overrated

but self-assured man of the bush.An American journalist (Linda Koz-

lowski), the romantic interest in the story,

has her curiosity piqued by the tale of thislegendary character and writes a featureabout him, later deciding to find out for

her readers how this man of the outbackwould fare in the wilds of New York City.Crosscutting between light and dark shotsof this reporter while talking over the

phone from Sydney to her editor in NewYork, the contrast between the Australianjungle and the urban jungle of the big city

.is set up even before the opening credits

begin to roll.From Sydney the reporter takes a guided

walking tour of Dundee's legendary crawlback to civilization, during which stunninglongshots of the beautiful scenery establish

the peacefulness and power of the naturalsurroundings which Dundee inhabits.Apart from scenes chronicling the buddingromance between guide and. reporter, thereis also the obligatory sequence in whichthe American journalist attempts to prove

that she can hack it in the wild, with Dun-dee proving to her that she neither can

survive nor fully belongs in his world.

Extensive UNIX system experience -Athena experience preferred and skillsin human relations desired.

Norman Bdh Pa s t o r . 11·----- · - . . .

The roles are then reversed as Dundeetravels to New York, where he must deal

with predators the likes of which he has

never seen on the Australian outback.Dundeee shows that although he can sur-

vive in the reporter's world, he too does

not fully belong. His ability to adapt tothe city environment is most notably ex-

pressed through the visual similarities be-tween the monolithic, art-deco style of

some of the New York architecture and the

massive Australian rock formations.While the scenes in the jungle are used

to build up the lovers' relationship and es-

tablish visual echoes, the plot comes to astandstill when the background changes to

skyscrapers. Once in New York, the story-

line becomes an excuse for humorousscenes of Dundee dealing with Americanculture. The romance between the reporter

and Dundee is never advanced, and no at-

tempt is made to answer the question as to

whether either can live in the other's soci-ety. The dilemmas and conflicts whichhave been set up so well during the firsthalf of the film are simply left hangingduring the second half.

This is not to say that the humor during

the second half of the film falls flat. Quitethe contrary: the manner in which Dundeemesmerizes the inhabitants of the city withhis innocent, rugged ways is at once en-dearing and hilarious. Whether thieves,high society snobs, or guard dogs, Dundeehas them all wrapped around his littlefinger.

Still, Hogan's bull in a china shop, likethe audience viewing the movie, reallylearns nothing about the American peopleother than that they are easily amused.

One could have hoped that, as in Splash,the actions of this naive savage would re-

veal something of the idiosyncracies of oursociety.

Crocodile Dundee, then, convinces in its

first half and deceives us in our expecta-tions in the second. Too many situations

are set inmotion only to be layed aside in

New York at the expense of good laughs.One wonders if two different people wrotethe two halves of this film. Although the

film is enjoyable in parts and very funny inplaces, the incongruity of its two halves

leave the viewer unfulfilled.

Asimov desiresmore robots

(Continued from page 1)"We must recognize that the

whole society must pay the priceof this transition. Those who canescape the burden, such as youhere, must not be allowed to doso," Asimov declared. He en-dorsed the idea of retraining dis-placed workers at government ex-pense, which he admitted meanshigher taxes.

One member of the audiencequestioned the desirability of asociety in which robots play sucha great part. Asimov attemptedto allay such fears by saying thatartificial and natural intelligenceare not incompatible. Robots cando things which human beingscannot do easily.

Similarly there are some thingsthat humans can do which areout of the reach of computers,Asimov said. "Artificial intelli-gence and natural intelligencecomplement each other," he said."We [robots and humans] are go-ing in different, but parallel, di-rections."

Asimov also called for reformof the nation's educational sys-tem. "Today's education is simplywasted on most people," he said.Rather than a system in which allpeople learn the same things,Asimov declared that our goalshould be individualized educa-tion. Each person should be ableto study about whatever he iscurious.

Asimov took the opportunityof the lecture to announce that anew installment in his "Founda-tion" series is ready. The novel,entitled Foundation and Earth,will be available for purchase be-ginning Oct. 3.

Enthusiasm for Asimov andhis work was high throughout theauditorium. Tickets for the lec-ture, which went on sale duringR/O Week, were sold out well inadvance of the event.

The next speaker to be present-ed in the LSC Lecture Series isHarold "Doc" Edgerton '27, apioneer in the field of strobephotography.

At first glance, it may look like anordinary calculator, but the Casiosolar CM-100 is anything but. It'san extraordinary software toolthat's as useful in progranmming anAppleTM as it is a mainframe IBMATM

The key to the CM-100'sincredible flexibility is Casio'sadjustable bit-size selector whichcan be set to suit any size com-puter up to 32 bits. And its blockdisplay which can, by scrollingblocks of 8 digits at a time, displayup to a 32 bit word.

But there's much more to thispocket-size powerhouse. It can dobase conversions from binary/octl/ecial/deimalxadecimal modesand can store in its memorynumbers in any base. It also hasShift, Rotate, Arithmetic Shift andBoolean functiorns that includeAND, OR, XOR and NOT.

Perhaps what is most extraor-dinary about the CM-100 though,is not how much it can do, but howlittle it costs to do it. The CM-100 isthe only calculator that'll let you do

all your software figuring for lessthan you'd figure to pay for anaverage ($25.00) textbook.

The more you work with com-puters-whatever their size--themore you need a CM-100. Whetheryou're a student or professional, it'sthe one piece of hardware that willmake designing your software easier.Apple and IBM are trademarks of the Apple and IBM Corporations.

_Ma PAGE 12 The Tech FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1986

By Jim BoydLast Saturday, the MIT Rugby

Club won its first organized gameof the year, defeating the ruggersfrom Northeastern at BriggsField.

The game was to be a tuneupmatch for the club's league playwhich starts this weekend, but itdeveloped into a much more seri-ous competition. A young but ex-perienced Northeastern club ar-rived ready to play, and a matchof three 30 minute periods wasagreed upon.

The first half of the first periodwas marred with sloppy play andpenalties, as both sides tried toshake off summer rust. With fournew forwards and four newbacks, the Tech side needed timeto get comfortable with eachother.

Gradually, the edge began toswing in favor of MIT with mostof the play occurring just outsideof the Northeastern goal line.

Golf team winshole of sudden i

By Harold A. SternThe MIT varsity golf team

placed first in the Bowdoin Col-lege Invitational Tournament inMaine last weekend, defeatingHusson College on the first holeof a sudden-death playoff.

On the first hole of the playofSthree MIT golfers parred, andBrent Beadling '90 birdied. Thefoursome from Husson - lastyear's National Association of In-tercollegiate Athletics champion-carded two pars and two bo-geys.

MIT was in the lead on Friday,but rain washed out the scores.When play resumed the followingday, the team completed regula-tion play tied with Husson, 316-316. Scores are the sums of thefour lowest scores among teammembers. Eric Asel '89 led MIT'sgolfers, finishing with the second-best score in the tournament.Gary M. Zentner '87, Christo-pher R. Craig '89, and RichardChebloski rounded out thecard for MIT.

The golf team won its seasonopener a week ago, defeatingMerrimack College 438-446. Bea-dling scored the low round inthat match, with an 84. The team

IM footPball hasrules changed

By Andrew L. FishIntramural football rules have

been significantly changed thisyear, said David Michael, super-visor of intramurals. The leaguewill now use the national touchfootball rules, eliminating allphysical.contact in the game. Theteams will be reduced to sevenmen, with all eligible to receivepasses.

The change was made because-of both a lack of referees and in-jury problems, Michael said. Thenew rules would make it easierfor referees to control the game,Michael said.

The intramural league wasplaying "street football," Michaelsaid. The league had not had arulebook for two years, and ruleswere being passed down by wordof mouth, Michael said.

Mlany intramural teams wereupset with the rule changes. Er-nesto D. Cabello '88, intramuralfootball captain at Theta Chi,threatened to withdraw his teamif the rules weren't changed.

"Everbody was psyched [forfootball] - then these rulechanges came," Cabello said.Several of the teams were con-templating forming their ownleague, he added.

"It's not football anymore,"Cabello lamented.

The first score came with aboutten minutes to go when Ben PaulG kicked a penelty field goalthrough the uprights.

An apparent second field goalwas called no good by the North-eastern field judge, and the firstperiod ended with MIT leading,3-0.

Despite having the windagainst them in the second peri-od, the Techies managed to dis-play good ball control and keptthe play near midfield. The timelykicking of fly-half Leo Casey G,combined with the strong for-ward play of Paul, Mike Plhinney'89, and Evan Pratt '87 kept theRed and Black in good field posi-tion, waiting for an opportunityto strike.

The moment came on a lineout when Paul pulled down theball and set the forwards. Theball came out to Damion SocociaG, a first-year scrum-half. Soco-cia took the ball to the weak side

match in first

and passed it to a steaking MikeTurek '88 on the outside. Turekscampered along the sideline for20 yards, cut back inside to avoida tackle, then shifted upfield in amove that left the last defenderflat on his back.

His fine speed made for aneasy 40-yard sprint to the goalthat netted the young hooker hisfirst A side try.

The second period ended withthe score at 7-0, at which pointMIT placed some of its new play-ers in the game. The rookies' in-experience showed as the team letup three tries in the first 15 min-utes. But the team reboundednicely and played the more exper-ienced visitors even over the last15 minutes of the game.

All around, the game was agood tune up for an MIT teamwith many new faces. The clubtravels to Springfield for its firstmatch this weekend. This prom-ises to be a very physical matchagainst the team that knockedMIT from the league champion-ships last year.
