The Dean's Office should havea booth at the Activities Midwayand in Lobby 10 occasionally,suggested Raymond E. Samuel'84, chairman of the Undergrad-uate Association Finance Board."Lobby 10 is there; use it," hesaid.

"Personal contact does morethan all the booklets in theworld," Martinez-Miranda ad-ded.

"The quality of the contacts isalso a question," said Stephen D.Immerman, assistant dean forstudent affairs. "Should we bespending more time with the stu-dents?" he asked.

"I've never felt brushed off"when dealing with the Dean's Of--fice, Samuel said. "I've alwaysbeen given time to express myconcerns."

"M/e can't have any input ondecisions if we don't know aboutthem," said Kirsi C. Allison'84,president of the Association ofStudent Activities and vice chair-man of the Finance Board, citingthe indirect routing of dormitoryfees to subsidize graduate stu-dents' tuition. "I'm not saying it'seasy, but it's something theDean's Office should look into."

how the Office of the Dean forStudent Affairs can help them,said Luz Martinez-Miranda G.former president of AshdownHouse, at a meeting of studentsand administrators Tuesday todiscuss recommendations madeby the MIT Corporation VisitingCommittee on Student Affairs.

"There needs to be some wayof getting more directly to thestudents," Martinez-Mirandacontinued.

The Visiting Committee sug-gested, among six other recom-mendations, that the Dean's Of-fice take "conscious, pro-grammed steps .. . to improvethe perception of being ap-proachable" and to "improve thequality of its contacts with thestudents."

A program of continued orien-tation is necessary, said AssociateDean for Student Affairs Holli-day C. Heine '67, because materi-al in the Freshman Handbook andon posters "just washes over thestudents."

"We plan to have each personin the [Dean's] Office mneet with50 or so freshmen" this fall, saidDean for Student Affairs ShirleyM. McBay.

By Burt S. KaliskciThe advisory council to the

Undergraduate Association dis-cussed Wednesday two functionsof student government it called"non-existent" in April: respon-siveness to the needs of the stu-dent body, and unifying the stu-dent body.

"We're two steps away" fromunifying the student body,claimed Ira M. Summer '83, Un-dergraduate Association GeneralAssembly floor leader. "Once westop the antagonism then we canunify."

"Unification doesn't give youtangible advances," said Ishai N'ir'86, member of the General As-sembly Executive Committee."There should be some kind ofcomraderie as MIT students."

Student government should be"breaking down the barriersamong people. ... People havetolerance against differences,"said Stephen D. Immerman, as-sistant dean or student affairs.

"There's just no 'whole' there,"commented Michael P. Witt '84,Undergrauate Association presi-dent.

The Undergraduate Associ-ation should "have people from[the Dormitory Council] and [theInter-Fraternity Conference]know what's going on in the [Un-dergraduate Association]," sug-gested Raymond E. Samuel '84,Undergraduate Association Fi-nance Board chairman.

Students lack "a nationally

competitive sports team" as away of unification, Nir comment-ed.

MIT's academic rankings'were up there number one formore things than anyone else,"Summer said. MILT's academicreputation can unify its students,he added.

The General Assembly shouldhold forums and send surveys tostudents, Summer said. "We canreally say that we know the stu-dent body has spoken."

"... Survey and open forum ispassive," said David M. Libby'85, Undergraduate AssociationNominations Committee co-chairman. "Active is like a [Gen-eral Assembly representative] go-ing out and talking to people."

"It's unrealistic to expect [Gen-eral Assembly representatives] aregoing to go out and talk to peo-ple,"' Witt comnriented_

"It has to Start in this group,"Libby countered.

MIT placed third behind Dart-mouth and Princeton Universitiesin donations received last yearfrom bachelor's degree graduates,according to Joseph S. Collins,director of the Alumni Associa-tion's alumni fund.

The ranking is based on acomparison among MIT, Stan-ford Junior University, and theIvy League colleges, Collins said.Dartrnouth and Princeton re-ceived gifts from 65 and 55 per-cent of their badhelor's graduatesrespectively, he added, while 49percent of MIT's S.B. graduatesand 31 percent of its S.M. andPh.D. graduates contributed tothe alumni fund.

Both percentages are "verystrong indications of broad-basedalumni support," Collins re-marked. "Alumni support of theInstitute has been strong sinceMIT opened more than 120 yearsago. The alumni fund was startedin 1940 and the fund has shown aconsistent pattern of record-breaking both in the number ofcontributors and the gifts recei-ved."

The Institute last year received$47 million in total voluntarysupport, of which alumni con-tributed $14.8 million, far exceed-ing the fund's goal of $7.7 mil-lion, Coll1ins said. A total of25,842 alumni made donationslast year, representing a 42 per-cent overall participation rate,and the average gift was approxi-mlately $298.

Collins would not compareMIT's alumni fund with those ofother universities because of dif-fering rules by which alumn-i gifts

shouldn't take a stand," Heinesaid. "We have to catalyze discus-sion, not have a knee-jerk reac-tion."

The Finance Board will insti-tute new annual accountingforms for all undergraduate stu-dent activities this summer, fol-lowing a Visiting-Committee rec-ommendation, according to Sam-uel. The board will use two setsof forms, he said: a longer onefor large groups and a shorter

those groups receiving FinanceBoard funds to file reports, Sam-uel said. -

The institution of a student ac-tivity fee needs to be discussed,McBay said, as the Visiting Com-mittee recommended. She pro-posed a student project to obtaininformation this summer on suc-cesses and failures of activitiesfees at other colleges.

Students should also- investi-gate whether recruiters weighparticipation in student activitiesheavily when hirings as the Visit-ing Committee report contends,McBay suggested.

The committee is "just in theXadministrative stage," said Im-merman. 'They're dealing on alevel of 'Who runs Walker?'They're not even up to studentactivities yet."

An issue such as pornograpy iswell-defined, and opinions aboutit are "split," Immerman said.Students perceive any involve-ment by the Dean's Office as in-trusive, he continued. "Someoneis upset, or angry, or feels his ter-ritory's been invaded."

The advisory council will holda final meeting next Wednesdav

post in Usnificant increase in percent[alumni] participation is directlyattributable to the effectivenessof the student callers," Collins re-marlced.

The Alumni Association beginssoliciting donations from a classas soon as it graduates fromMIT, Collins said. It normallytakes 10 years for 70 percent ofthe class to make at least one do-nation, he continued. Seventypercent of the Class of 1977 hadcontributed at least once to thealumni fund by last year, he not-ed, setting a record for participa-tion.

MIT has earmarked $812,000for student financial aid,$189,000 for student housing,$1.5 million for academic depart-ments and professorships, $1.2million for a "wide spectrum" ofother uses, and $2.3 million forunrestricted use, according toCollins.

The Alumni Association alsoconducts five-year campaigns re-questing alumni to make majordonations. MIT's last five-yearcampaign began in 1975 andraised $250 million, Collins said.

Alumni support is "typicallytwo to three times" that reportedat MIT, Collins noted.

Collins is confident the alumnifund will meet this year's goal of$8.1 million and 26,400 alumnicontributions, he said. The alum-ni funding year runs from July 1to June 30, coinciding with theInstitute's fiscal year.

W~orld-Israel to consider withdrawal from Lebanon - Israeli Prime Minister Menachern Begin said Wednes-day he would call a cabinet meeting to decide whether to accept the American plan for Israel's withdrawalfrom Lebanon. The plan, proposed by US Secretary of State George P. Shultz, outlines the pullout of30,000 Israeli troops from l ebanon. The plan does not require Syrian troops to leave the country.

Soviets offer to reduce arsenal -Soviet leader Yuri Andropov offered this week to reduce his country'smedium-range nuclear forces in Europe to NATO levels and to reduce the number of warheads, missiles,and planes. Andropov's proposal includes British and French nuclear forces in the NATO level, and wouldprohibit further deployment of US missles in Europe. President Reagan called the proposal "encouraging."

fiactionHourse committee votes to cut aid to Nicaragua The US House of Representatives intelligence com-mittee Wednesday night approved a bill to cease funding of covert military aid to Nicaraguan insurgents.

. The committee approved $80 million in open aid to "any friendly country in Central America." PresidenltReagan did not debate the action, but called the Nicaraguan recipients "freedom fighters" who were op-posing a government which had betrayed the principles under which it was founded.

Catholic bishops denounce nzuclear wepaons -Roman Catholic bishops endorsed a resolution con-demning nuclear arms by a vote of 238 to 9. The American bishops ratified a pastoral letter which statedtheir "opposition, on moral grounds, to any use of nuclear weapons." The Reagan administration hadlobbied for softer language in the letter.

House approves arms freeze resolution -The House approved Wednesday a resolution urging Presi-dent Reagan to negotiate a "mutual and verifiable freeze and reductions in nuclear weapons." The resolu-tion carries an amendment revoking the freeze if reductions are not performed in a "reasonable, specifiedamount of time."

Weinberger criticizes failture to strengthen armed forces -Secretary of Defense Casper Weinlbergercriticized the House Armed Services Committee for rejecting the administration's plan to hire 37,000 peoplefor military positions next year. The committee instead voted to freeze the armed forces at current person-

|nel levels. Improvement in military hardware, Weinberger claimed, is less effective if there are not concur-rent increases in military personnel.

Ruckelhaus; promises to reform EPA -William D. Ruckelhaus told a Senate committee there had been6 Fan abuse of process" at the Environmental Protection Agency and he would enforce environmental laws

X"as written by Congress." Ruckelhaus, President Reagan's nominee for EPA administrator, promised theflagency would make no 'shit lists" or "political decisions."

Army may have known of Agent Orange threat -The Department of Defense was aware of thedangers of dioxin, a chemical in the anti-defoilant Agent Orange, two years before the army stopped usinlgit, according to the Dow Chemical Company. The company, makers of the chemical, stated in court papersthat both the governmenlt and Dow knew that dioxin was a health risk in 1969, while it was still being usedin Viletnam.

LocalCommonwealth to deny registration to parking offenders-Massachusetts' Registry of Motor Vehi-cles will refuse to renew the registrations on vehicles whlose, owners have overdue parking fines to the cityof Boston.

Feminism and Prolife

Rev. Michael McGarryof the Paulist Fathers

What connections are there between prolife work and feminism?How carl a man talk about being a feminist? In much of the

literature I have seen, to be a feminist does not require that onebe a woman, but that one support acknowledged feminist princi-ples. Many claim the following principles as feminist, and that amore consistent feminist position would have to conclude thatfar from being opponents, feminism and prolife work should beallies. For the following, I am indebted to such writers as JoMcGowan, Juli Loesch, Lucy O'Keefe, Elizabeth Moore andSydney Callahan.

1) The feminist rnvoement has claimed that women should bein touch with their own bodies and should affirm their normalbiological processes. A~bortion seems to rend this fabric by pro-viding a way of denying the life which a woman and a man havebegun together.

2) True feminism, tired of male dominance in so many areas,calls all to mutuality in decision-making, homemaking andchild-rearing. Seeing abortion as a woman's right -solely herprerogative -far from advancing mutuality, feeds into the tra-ditional view that women are mainly responsible for childrenand that man need not worry about the consequences of his ac-tions.

3) Feminism loudly and rightly protests the use of womens'bodies as objects. Is one surprised, then, to find Playboy heavilyfinancing the abortion right movement? They who: have treatedwomens' bodies as playthings and who have depersonalizedthem in the process would naturally see the link to the deper-sonalization of the unborn life and the quick solution to the con-sequences of the Playboy philosophy. To support a woman dur-ing pregnancy, to claim mutual responsibility, to treat the childas a person -all these might be a lot harder for those who havenot treated women as other than playthings at other times.

4) It seems to me that a guiding principle of (Christian' femi-nism has been a rejection of those movements in society whichhave depersonalized women and made them merely extensionsof their husbands or their function (e.g. mother, nurse, sister,etc.) Rather. femlinism would counter that a woman's personaldignity is innate, not derivative from her function or relation inthe family or society. Where, then, is the sympathy for half theunborn children who have been depersonalized and who are fe-mnale? How are unborn children - and we -depersonalizedwhen the right to life is linked to whether one is wanted or not?

5) Part of a femninist perspective, as I understand it, is the in-sistenlce on the interconnlectedness of social issues. In some quar-ters, however, abortion is the exception, the "private issue." AsJo McGowan has written: "it's the whole system that has tochange. A system that says that the answer to rising crime ratesis bigger prisons. That says that the answer to child murders isCapital punishment. That says the answer to the problem ofkilling people and sparing property is the neutron bomb. Thatsays the answer to the unwanted child is abortion."

1Ib quote from Lucy O'Keefe of the Prolife Non-Violent ActionProject: "T~he abortion debate is usually carried on in theseterms by both sides. Either you're concerned for children oryou're concerned for fully grown women, not both at once. Littlethought has been given to what a response to a difficult preg-nancy would be like if it were based on the assumption that thefull development of both people, child and mother, was possibleand a matter of ultimate concern to everyone."

Since one fatal day in Octobser1979, when the Committee onCampus Dining, which had spentsome time studying ways to im--prove h-ow and what we eat, theawful dragon of mandatory com-mons has reared its terrible head.Dormitory overcrowding has alsobeen an incredible problem formany years. Then there is tuition.All in all, it is enough to give youulcers, which the ersatz food youare required to eat will exacer-bate. Yet as scientists and engi-neers (I beg the indulgence ofthose among us who practice thequalitative arts.) dedicated tosolving the world's problems, wemust begin with our own prob-lems.

A historical review of theseproblems is in order, but since acomplete review would be byzan-tine, a partial review follows; Ishall then propose the one solu-tion to all our problems.

Commons

OvercrowdingMIT has a novel solution to

dormitory overcrowding: build,another dormitory. In order to

pay for this dormitory, withoutraising tuition by more than tentimes the rate of inflation, MITadmits more freshmen. This con-tinues for a few years, until oneyear, more freshmnen come thanare expected. Of course, over-crowding results. But MIIT has anovel solution to overcrowding.

When I first saw Next House,while it was under construction,the tour I was on entered one ofthe "solar doubles." Everyonetaking the tour immediately knewthat room would be tripled. Wewere assured there would be; notripling, the new dorm would al-leviate overcro~wding. "There willbe peace in our day," said NevilleChamberlaine. Guess what?

Tu~itionA 'friend of mine entered the

Institute around 1971, and re-ceived a letter from then-Presi-dent Jerome IB. Weisner which ac-tually apologized for raising tu-ition to $2100. More significantthan the price itself is the factthat the Institute felt compelledto apologize foir raising tuition.Can anyone imagine the admninis-tration apologizing for raising tu-ition now?

The other day, while leafingthrough my' library, I chancedupon a passage from the worksof Jonathan Swift: "I have beenassured by a very knowingAmerican of my acquaintance inLondon; that a young healthychild, well nursed, is at a yearold, a most delicious, nourishing,and wholesome food; whetherstewed, roasted, baked or boiled,and I have no doubt,. that it willequally serve in a fricasie or ra-goust." Even most freshmen willadmit, at least once they becomeupperclassmen, that a freshmanis nothing more than an intellec-tual "child, at a year old." Fur-thermore, at the age of 17 or 18,a freshman will provide com-mons with far more tasty morselsthan will an infant. Of course,the cost of commons could de-crease; they wouldn't have to buymeat anymore. And since fresh-men have to pay tuition, eventhough some of them would notcomplete the term, the ext ramoney could subsidize everyoneelse's tuition. Overcrowdingwould rather quickly become athing of the past.

Indeed, the only possible ob-jection to my modest proposal Ican forsee would be that dormi-tory residents would be providinganother subsidy to the Institute.Most reasonable people wouldagree with me that it is probablywell worth the sacrifice to solvethese problems. I urge everyoneto write to Gray, reminding himwhat he said in 1979 about. com-mons, and encouraging him totake a freshman to lunch, as itwere, a great act worthy of hiscommunal spirit '

But he is dlanger-ous: He gives a bad name to mo-rality, to the Bible, and to Jesus.As he pushes his crusade acrossthe country, he alienates hun-dreds of thousands of intelligentpeople by making them think theFalwell philosophy is justified bythe Gospels.

But Falwell is far from thetruth. And after reading 2 Corin-thians 11:3-6, it seems St. Paulmight agree: "But I am afraidthat as the serpent deceived Eveby his cunning, your thoughtswill be led aestray from a sincereand pure devotion to Christ. Forif some one comnes and preachesanother Jesus than the one wepreached, . ,. or if you accept adifferent gospel from the one youaccepted, ytou submit to it readilyenough."

To the Editor:I thtank Duncan Borland and

Ch-eryl Walter for their t hought-ful. and well written column,"Science the new religion" [April29], and letter, '"Notes Ecclesias-tes' lesson" [Feedback, Apsril 29],in The Techt. Threse columns werea welcome change from the usualTech menu. Issues such as studentactivity space, 6.035 workload,and sickening commons mealsare pale in comparison. The Techis an MWIT newspaper, but I wel-come articles about broader andmore: permanent topics.

I agree with Borland's thesisabout science usurping rolesproperly confined to religion, butI think he neglected an importantaspect of the conflict. PHe is rightabout the dangers of expectingtoo much frosm scientific knowl-edge. He correctly pointed outthat science is used for analyzingthe condition of the physical uni-verse, but cannot reveal its originand purpose. Religion and sci-ence are methods of inquiry validin different areas. The success ofscience can cause us to ignore theneed for religious inquiry.

However, I think Borland

.should have placed more empha-sis. on science and religion asmeans for improving man's life.Science can be used to improveman's physiological and ecornom--le well being. However, it cannotimprove his ethical and spiritualcondition; this is the place for re-ligion. The danger of science isthat people will become preoccu-pied with it and forget the needfor religion and "fearing Godand keeping his commandments."

In the middle ages, science wasunable to do much for man'sphysical well being. So people

concentrated on their spiritualwell being; their relationship toJehovah was central. In the 20thcentury, science has done somuch to improve our physicalwell being that it distracts usfrom our spiritual and moralneeds. Science has eliminatedmuch of the poverty in nationsblessed with the industrial revolu-tion. But it has not made thepeople in those nations any moreethical. People still need God'slaws for guidance and Christ'sforgiveness for salvation.

of corrections to Friday's article[April 29] on the Association ofStudent Activities space commit-tee.

First, the updated informationobtained from the "president'ssurvey" will not b~e sent to allmemnbers of the activities. Rather,it will be sent to the activity lead-ers, who will be expected to dis-

Second, the final version of theguidelines will, of course, be pre-sented to the full body of the As-sociation of Student Activities forapproval, not just the ExecutiveCommittee.

And it can't be killed. John DeR-eubis severly injured the GeneralAssembly by treating it like aclub; under Ken Segel, it cameback to life. But Ken dealt it asharp blow by not being seriousand then expecting people to takethe General Assembly seriously,which makes some sense, sincewhen Undergraduate Associationpresidents were serious, peopledid not take the General Assem-bly seriously.

train. See it from behind the wheel of a H~ertz car. It's lessexpensive than a European rail pass. And it costs even lesswhen you share the ride with a friend. Plus with a Hertz car,there's never a charge for mileage.

By renting from Hertz, you can reserve your car just7 days before renting, you don't have to pay in advance, andin many cases there's no drop oK charge. And unlike somerent-a-car companies, Hertz's minimum renting age is 18years old. What's more, our prices are guaranteed in localcurrency through March 31, 1984. So no matter how muchHertz also has low weekly rates on larger cars. Gas and optional Charges are not included. Hertz dollar rate shown above is based on exchange rates as of March 23, 1983.

Night of 1General vTo the Editor:

When I saw the drop datemovie, "The Night of the LivingDead," I was reminded of theGeneral Assembly. The movie,for those who didn't see it, in-volves uncoordinated zombieswho ever so slowly eat the fleshof their human victims. The zom-bies can't be killed easily; theywill just fall down, bleed a bit,and get back up again - unlessyou burn them or shoot them inthe head.

The General Assembly is like azombie; when it moves, it movesslowly, without coherence or co-

tordination. The General Assem-bly doesn't eat the flesh of its hu-man victims; it eats their time.

not far enough. I think it's timeto shoot it in the head.

Last Thursday the General As-sembly tried to hold its last regu-lar meeting of the year. I wastold that it was obvious from thestart that the quorum would noteven be approached.

What a surprise! After all, withsuch important business of theagenda as "Change in FinboardBylaws" and "'Confirmation ofGeneral Committee Chairpeople"one would expect to pack theaisles.

Well, maybe you wouldn't. ButIra Summer would. And sowould a few of the other die-hardgreasers who-await the next Gern-eral Assembly meeting with thesame anticipation with whichthey await the next registrationday movie.

Mike Witt and Inge Gedopromised change. They havefailed to deliver it. It's not alltheir fault; once they got into of-fice they were surrounded by thedie-hards who were sticking withthe General Assembly in thehopes that "this time, it could bedone right." But people havebeen saying that for 10 of the last14 years - for a few years theGeneral Assembly was dormant- and has anyone "done itright?"

There is no sense in keeping a100-member assembly in which50 members never attend. The ex-treme minority of 10 to 15 mem-bers who do attend most meet-ings is not even representative ofthe student body; it is biased infavor of the type of person wholikes to waste his time doing sillythings.

In March, Witt said he wasprepared to "trash the GeneralAssembly" if necessary. "I don'tthink there will be any on-paperchanges anytime soon," Witt wasquoted as saying in -The Tech[May 3].

i can't see how the perfor-mance of the General Assemblysince the end of March wouldleave Witt any less prepared'totrash it. Don't misunderstand me;I'm not for anarchy. The GeneralAssembly needs to be replaced bya student assembly that has a bitmore power, far fewer members,and a source of items for theagenda other than annual com-mittee nominations. If no onewithin the current structure iswilling to change it, then thechange will have to come fromoutside, by election of new Gen-era] Assembly representativeswho wish to replace it.

Richard A. Cowan '84To the Editor:In his guest column of April

22, Eric Sven Ristad questionsJeanne Kirkpatrick's right to ad-dress the students of the Univer-sity of California at Berkeley onthe grounds that she is represent-ing a government which supportsrepressive regimes throughout theworld. He cites, among other ex-amples, Israel's actions in Leba-non last summer as a case inpoint that Mrs. Kirkpatrick andthe government she represents de-serve only our contempt for sup-porting Israel. But concerning thesituation in Lebanon, it is inter-esting to recall what AmbassadorGhoura, Lebanon's representativeto the United Nations, had to sayas long ago as 1976: "The Pales-tinians increased the infllix ofarms into Lebanon .. . Theytransformed most of the refugeecamps, if not all, into militarybastions ... common-law crimni-nals fleeing from Lebanese justicefound shelter and protection inthe camps ... Those camps infact became centers for the train-ing of mercenaries sent and fi-nanced by some other Arabstates . . . Palestinian elementsbelonging to various ... organi-

zations resorted to kidnapping ofLebanese . . and sometimes for-eigners - holding them prison-ers, questioning them, torturingthem, and sometimes even killingthem . . . They committed allsorts of crimes in Lebanon ...They smuggled goods ... Theywent so far as to demand 'protec-tion' money ... It is difficult toenumerate all the illegal activitiescommitted by those Palestinianelements. ... "

This, then, was the situation inLebanon before Israel launchedits campaign. Nows as a result ofthis action, Lebanon has the po-tential for sovereignty within itsgrasp for the first time in almost

a decade. Though the Lebanesepeace talks have bogged down,there is confidence on the part ofthe Lebanese, Israelis, andAmericans that a solution will bereached. Indeed, our govern-ment's avowed aim of seeing thatthis Israeli action results in thelong-sought peace was only rein-forced after the tragic bombingof our embassy two weeks ago inBeirut. This support given by ourgovernment to the Israeli actionand the ensuing peace process co-incides with the principles of de-mocracy and human rights whichMr. Ristad so strongly supports,yet so gravely misunderstands.

lieves now that Mozart, not he, is the cho-sen instrument of God: God worksthrough Amadeus to compose music of"absolute beauty".

Salieri, feeling cheated of the musicalgifts he felt were rightfully his, swears tothwart God on Earth by destroying Mo-zart, "God's flute." Act Two relives thewar Salieri fought with God. He quicklyabandons his vows of sexual and socialvirtue by taking a mistress and resigningfrom a musicians' pensions committee. Sa-lieri uses his influence at every turn toblock Mozart from receiving any post inthe court. As Salieri prospers beyond mer-it, Mozart fails abysmally from Salieri'sdeeds. Yet, ironically, every blow he deliv-ers to the young composer increases thepower and beauty of his new composi-tions: Mozart's music becomes increasinglyinfused with the passion and frustration heexperiences at Salieri's plotting.

Salieri decides to become Amadeus'closest companion to determine all of hisweaknesses. Using every means possible toprevent Mozart from making money thusstarving him to death, Salieri delivers thefinal blow. He persuades Mozart to incor-porate secret Masonic rituals into his newopera, The Magic Flute, a move that turnsevery last person of means away from Mo-zart, who subsequently dies. John Wood soperfectly expresses simultaneously Salieri'srelief at the death of an archrival and pityat the loss of one so gifted, whom hehelped destroy.

The first act contains twelve scenes; thesecond, nineteen, yet the assistants changethe scenes so adroitly and so frequentlythat their presence on stage is-scarcely no-ticed. The lighting brilliantly highlights theimportant parts of the stage. John Bury,production designer, received two 1981Tony Awards for Amadeus: one for bestlighting designer and one for best scenicdesigner. Under the direction of Sir PeterHall, the play flourishes. Peter Hall re-ceived the 1981 Tony Award as best direc-tor for this role in Ainadeus. In brief, thiscompelling drama of genius and rivalrywell deserves the five Tony Awards it haswon.

Amadeus, written by Peter Shaffer, directedby Sir Peter Hall, starring John Wood andJohn Pankow, production designed by JohnBurY; at the Shubert Theatre until Saturday,21 May.

Peter Shaffer recounts in Amadeus thestory of how Antonio Salieri, Court Com-poser to the Hapsburg court, plots to de-stroy his rival, Wolfgang Amadeus Mo-zart. Salieri implores God throughout hislife to give him some measure of musicaltalent, jealous and fearing that the youth-ful Mozart will take his place in the Vien-anese court and surpass him in prominence.The directors correctly chose John Wood,a master of Shakespearean and moderndrama, to play the role of Salieri. Wood'scompelling performance and stage pres-ence captured the audience throughoutthis very intense, concentrated play. JohnPankow delivers a scintillating perfor-mance as the silly, vulgar, infantile, yet su-premely gifted Wolfgang Amadeus Mo-zart.

The play begins in Vienna, in Novemberof 1823 with Salieri as an old mzan. Thefirst sound thle audience hears is the word"Salieri" repeated in rapid succession byseveral people, creating a snakelike hissinginterspersed with the word "assassin". Ru-mors have spread that Salieri killed Mo-zart, but no one believes it. Salieri explainshow he conspired to destroy Mozart. Inthe Third Scene of Act One, the plavers re-turn to the Vienna of 1781, when Salierialas a celebrated Viennese composer. Theremainder of Act One and most of ActTwo involve the decade 1781 through 1791when Mozart lived in Vienna.

Salieri first hears Mozart's music at aprivate concert for the Hapsburg court.He is horrified, even injured, at the beautyof the music. Later, two informants showSalieri the prodigious volume of Amadeus'work. To his demnise, Salieri discovers"Mozart was simply transcribing music

Sight and Sound, the New Models on PYCRecords.

In three short years, Boston's New Mod-els have experienced a second, well-de-served, rise to the top of the local musicscene. Their second recording, the Sightand Sound EP, may just be their ticket tonational popularity.

The New Models caught their first bigbreak when they attracted the attention ofthe Cars' David Robinson, who askedthem to open for the Cars at their 1980Boston Garden concert. A series of favor-able reviews was followed by circulation ofa tape produced by Ric Ocasek at his new-Iy opened Synchro Sound Studio. Thetape, consisting of the tunes "PermanentVacation" and -"Shattered Windows," be-came a local hit, but, in absence of any vi-nyl product, interest in the band soon diedout. The belated release of the single onModern Method Records was much toolate to continue what could have been asuccessful media push. The band returnedto the clubs, where they worked on theirmaterial, honing it to razor-edged sharp-ness.

The New Models sound is a unique fu-

i WE/hoic i ho

sion of electronic dance music and goodold rock and roll, and Sight and Sound ac-curately makes the transition form theharsh white light of the stage to the coldpersistence of plastic. Singer/guitarist Ca-sey Lindstrom laces each tune with searingleads and choppy rhythmic phrases (Youshould check out the lead he contributedto Ric Ocasek's "'Something to Grab For.),Steve Thurber adds the bass pulse andsynthesizer colorings, and Michael John-son pushes everything from behind withhis insistent drumming. These individualtalents coalesce on five tunes that will keepyou jumping from start to finish.

Lindstrom's lyrics deal with alienation,best summarized in the raveups "Just aMotion" ("Modern life is just a motion.")and "Strangers in Disguise," but the sure-fire hit is "Say What," a tale of sexual ina-dequacy ("Say what you want me to do").

If you saw the New Models open for theTubes recently at MIT, you can under-stand how this local trio almost stole theshow. If you give Sight and Sound a listen,you'll be convinced thay could steal theshow from anyone.

David Shaw

PMn)Robert Wagner. "I brought a lot of myselfinto the part," he explained. In the film,he plays Adam Farmer, a boy in search ofhis parents, hoping to uncover the truth ofwhat we are told is a troubled past. Trau-matized by events in his childhood, Adamhas blotted out elements of his early yearsthat are crucial to helping him answer hisquestions, and his psychiatrist (Wagner)tries desperately to help him recapture hispast and reveal the buried secrets that aretormenting him.

Adam sets out on his bicycle on a jour-ney to find both his parents and his lifegone by. Gradually, he is able to put thepieces of the puzzle together as is the audi-enlce, since the information is not disclosedall at one time and we are able to learn thefacts at the same time Adam does - sort oflike the way good murder mysteries work.For fear of giving away too mruch of thestory, I hesitate to divulge many of the de-tails, but I can allow you this bit of knowl-edge: when Adam was young, his father(Don Murray) had his life put in peril,much the way Adam's appears to be now.He was forced to move his wife (Lange)and son away from their home in Blount,New York, change their identities, andstart a brand new life with his family. Asmore of the story is revealed, the film de-velops into an intriguing and, for the mostpart, effective study of politics, courage,and human nature.

The film inltentionally starts slowly; welearn practically nothing about Adam for

the first fifteen minutes of the story. Thereason for the slow beginning eventuallybecomes clear, but at the time it seemed asif I were listening to a 78 RPM record be-ing played at 16 RPM. Some scenes didn'tappear to have anything to do with en-hancing the narrative, and some of theconversation was a bit stilted - a classiccase of "textbook dialogue." Nklagrner isunconvincing as the psychiatrist, comingacross as more of a cold marble statuethan a concerned doctor, and Murray sud-denly adopts a slight Italian accent half-way through tlhe film.

Despite its obvious shortcomings,Cheese works as a modern day humandrama, ever so gently tugging at ourheartstrings while giving us plenty to thinkabout. The film is an above average char-acter study, thanks to some clever tech-niques which were used to tell Adam's sto-ry. One memorable scene comes near theend of the picture when Adam is riding hisbike around the grounds of the hospital heis staying at, and he passes by all the im-ages of the different characters that hecame across in his journey for his family.The sequence seems to symbolize his comt-ing in touch with his past; the effect isquite powerful and very moving.

I Am The Cheese is now showing in sev-eral theatres in the Boston area. Like itsstar, the film is pleasant, well controlled,and likable. Hop on your bike and go seeit.

I am the Cheese, starring Robert MaceNaughton, Robert Wagner, Hope Lange,and Don Murray; directed by Robert JPras;screenplay by David Lange and RobertJiras. An Almi Films release, now playingat Sack Theatres.

Dressed casually in a plaid alligatorshirt and white painter's pants, the youngman sitting next to me looked like yourtypical teenager. For over an hour, we hada relaxed chat about the things most peo-ple our age enjoy talking about: rock con-certs, movmies, and the like. I guess the only

thing about him one could pinpoint as be-ing slightly out of the ordinary was that hewas one of the stars of E. X, the Extra Ter-restrial, the highest grossing film in Holly-wood history.

"E.T was actually a departure for me.This new role is more like the ones I'mused to playing," said Robert M ac-Naughton, who was in Boston last week topromote his new movie. MacNaughtonplays the lead in the new drama I Am TheCheese, based on a book by Robert Cor-mier and co-starring Hope Lange and

This week we visited the Seventh InnRestaurant on Newbury Street in Boston.It had been recommended by Tim Dale, arestaurant owner in California, whoworked at the Seventh Inn when he livedin Boston. I knew that if the Seventh Innwere at all like his place at Lake Tahoe, wewere in for a treat.

The restaurant, located in the basementof ar old brownstone, is divided roughlyin half, with the front part a 50 presondining room, and the rear half an openkitchen. Since Back Bay basement restalurants generally have little space, this ar-rangement allows the diners to savor thewonderful smell of good food, and towatch its preparation.

The Seventh Inn has a permanent menu,listing contemporary cuisine, and a dailymenu which varies depending on the spe-cials served. We discovered the listed spe-cials run out quickly; we arrived at 7:30pm, and our waitress informed us that twoof the entrees were no longer available. Aword to the wise: Get there early to get thebest selection.

We sampled selections fromh bothmenlus, startinig with salad and soup. Themixed green salad, at $1.25 for the smalland $2.00 for the large, is served with atasty sesame .dressing. 7Wr_ skipped the

nmiso soup, which is listed as a rich tastingvegetable soup ($1.25' in order to try thesoup du jour, fish chowder ($1.50). Thechowder was skimpy on the fish but veryheavy on the potatoes; our only complaintabout the food we were served.

Vegetarians will delight in the SeventhInn. The menu of contemporary cuisineincludes lightly fried. freshly preparedvegetable tempura ($5.75); pasta withvegetables and cheese, garnished with ro-mano cheese and seasoned with garlic($5.25); sauteed vegetables and tofu ($4.75)with a delicious complement of tamari andginger sauce saute; and the vegetable plate($4.75) of soup, vegetables, rice and beans.

One should not draw the conclusionthat meat dishes are unavailable, however,the restaurant generally serves fish andpoultry. The contemporary cuisine menuincludes a delicious shrimp tempura withan ample amount of large shrimp and avariety of vegetables (tempura style, ofcourse). Chicken saute, with vegetablesand pasta ($5.50) is strips of chickenbreast, with pasta and vegetables, in a verytasty spiced tomato sauce.

The special menu generally includes fishentrees, chicken dishes, and occasionalrare delicacies such as rabbit or squid. We

butter ($7.50), which was lightly seasonedand well prepared, with a wonderful tex-ture and taste. We couldn't try all thedishes on the special menu that evening,but listing those dishes will give the cur-ious an idea of the sorts of specials gener-ally served. Listed dishes included freshNorwegian salmon with ginger sauce($10.50), fresh Canadian halibut with dillbutter ($10.00), fresh bluefish with pom-mery mustard ($8.00), chicken with tarra-gon cream sauce ($8.25), and linguine withsmoked salmon ($8.00).

We wanted to try the strawberry shortcake ($2.00), a dessert special, but it hadrun out early. The waitress informed usthat the other special dessert, chocolatecake ($2.50) was also heavily requested,and that of the regular desserts, pecan piewas sweet and very good. We finished ourmeal with coffee, noting a large list of teasserved.

We enjoyed good service, delicious food,and a wonderful time in a very relaxed res-taurant, the Seventh Inn. 1 heartily recom-mend this restaurant for moderately ex-pensive, healthy, and very tasty dining.

Seventh Inn Restaurant is located at 272aNewbury Street, between Gloucester andFairfield. Phone 247-2475. American Ex-press ........ .a

IPS startMultics X

By Daniel J. WeidmanInformation Processing Ser-

vices (IPS), presently located inthe Information Processing Cen-ter (Building 393, is this monthinstalling its Honeywell Multicsand IBM VM370 computer sys-tems in the Hromberg Building(Building II) and the formerAerophysics Laboratory (Build-ing W91).

The Multics system will shutdown at 5pm today and will beunavailable until 9am Monday.Multics public terminals will beremoved from Building 39 be-tween May 15 and 20.

IPS plans to operate in its newlocations with all presently avail-able services by early June, ac-cording to Weston J. Burner, di-rector of IPS. Very large scale in-tegration research will replaceIPS in Building 39.

"Th ngs are going as planned,"Burner said. "`fe seem to be run-ning on schedule."

Some services, including newpublic terminals'-and output dis-tribution, will resume operationMay 23 on the second and thirdfloors of Building 11.

"New equipment is up and op-erating fine" in Building W91, al-though the equipment is not yeton line, Burner said.

IPS will run a shuttle for trans-porting tapes, punch cards, andoutput among Buildings I I, W9 I,and four other buildings: theSloan Building (Building E52),the Ford Building (Building E19),545 Technology Square (BuildingNE43) and 575 TechnologySquare (Building NE40), Burnersaid.

ororityAny MIT undergraduate wom-

an could receive Alpha Phi schol-arship funds, Sprung said. ClubAmherst plans to be "philanthro-pic" to avoid-losing the funding,she said.

Alpha Phi is the oldest sororityin the east, Devoe said. The so-rority was founded in 1872 atSyracuse University as a fraterni-ty, because '"the word 'sorority'had not been coined," she said.'

The sorority publishes the Al-pha Phi Quarterly and has 104chapters. Boston University'schapter of Alpha Phi, althoughnot active, will celebrate its 100thanniversary in October, Devoesaid.

"Obviously we liked what wesaw," Devoe said. Club Amherstis an "outstanding group ofyoung women."

Club Amherst will pledgeMonday, Gannon said.

(Continued from page I)fice that we want to move," sheadded.

Approximately one-third ofClub Amherst members will livein apartments beginning in Sep-tember, Gannon said.

Alpha Phi "will be expected toprovide money for the furni-shings" of Club Amherst's futurehouse, Devoe said.

The group will not buy a house

for a few years, Gannon noted."We've existed well on our

own, but it's been awful hard,"Gannon said. "You have to learnyourself about organization."

Club Amherst was "lookingfor a strong [sorority]," Sprungcommented. Alpha Phi allows "alot of flexibility," she added.

The group's first choice, KappaKappa Gamma "withdrew itscandidacy because apparently it

had problems with other houses"at other colleges, Gannon said.

The standing rules of AlphaPhi, suggestions for the conductof chapters, do not permit haz-ing, require members be full-timestudents, do not allow liquor tobe stored in the house or used inrush activities, and do not permitmen to stay overnight in thechapter's house.

"'MIT is a little bit different

ballgame," Devoe noted. "Livingrooms would be different," sheexplained, and men would be al-low to sleep there.

"'We explained to all sororitiesthe MIT situation that lab part-ners may be male,"' Gannon said.'It's a hard thing to go to the li-

brary" to work on a lab report,she explained, since it may be un-safe to return to the house late atnight.

"We came up with a policyourselves," she continued, that-the presence of men in the housemust not violate the rights ofother members.

The National Heart Associ-ation awarded Alphi Phi twicefor raising money, Devoe said.The sorority encourages chaptersto participate in fundraising, butwithholds scholarship fundingfrom chapters not involved infundraising, Gannon said.

Proposal(Continued from page 16)

bling (La.) State University,points to the fact that many ofthe students at his school don'tmeet the NCAA criteria butgraduate nonetheless.

Johnson says many schools donot do enough to help studentsfrom educationally disadvantagedbackgrounds: "The proposalblames the victim for the prob-lem." Johnson's comment raises avery important question of re-sponsibility: What institution issupposed to give students whattype of education? The Gram-bling president's statement im-plies colleges should supply pro-grams for those students whomay not have mastered the fun-damentals in high school.

The primary reason for thepassage of Proposal 48 was thatmany educators felt athletes werebeing exploited by major collegesand universities - the athletes'bodies were developed and usedfor four years, while little ornothing was done to preparetheir minds for life off the play-ing field.

Alan Page, a standout defen-sive end for the Minnesota Vi-kings and Chicago Bears andnow a practicing lawyer, recalleda story in which he and eight ofhis teammates were studying theVikings' playbook, which waswritten at an elementary level. Henoted only two could read andunderstand all of the playbook,three could not read the wholebook but could gain an adequateunderstanding; while the otherfour could ,do neither.

Joe Paterno, head coach of thePennsylvania State Universityfootball team, noted'for turningout not only fine football players,but good scholars, as well, wasan important figure in the pas-sage of Proposal 48. During theNCAA conference in January, hesaid in a speech which in itselfcaused a lot of furor,. "For thepast 15 years, we have had a raceproblem. We've told black kidswho bounce balls, run aroundtracks, and catch touchdownpasses that doing so is an endunto itself. We've raped a wholegeneration of black students. Wecan't afford do it again."

Another argument for the rulessays colleges, coaches, and ath-letes themselves have deludedyoung people into thinking sportsis the way out of the ghetto. Byplacing increased emphasis onacademics, student-athletes willstrive harder in the classroom.One who holds this view is Dr.Harry Edwards, associate profes-sor of sociology at the Universityof California at Berkeley. Ed-wards has long been a critic ofcollege athletics, and was an im-portant figure in the black mili-tancy movement in the 1960's.

Dr. Edwards, one of the few

black leaders to support the newrules, applauds the proposal andsays it should be tougher. As forblack educators who say theirathletes cannot make the stan-dard, he comments that "thosewho aspire to Division I institu-tions will strive to prepare them-selves."

Proposal' 48 is certain to be asubject of great discussion overthe next several years. Black edu-cators are presently contemplat-ing filing suit against the NCAAto enjoin them from implement-ing the proposal, and are leavingthe American Council on Educa-tion, the group which fiercely ad-vocated the new standards, aswell as the NCAA.

Proposal 48 is fundamentally agood rule. There appears to be,however, some room for modifi-cation in the minimum test scorecriteria, given the evidence avail-able on adverse impact. In addi-tion, the teeth the rules will have

are a little blunt, given the pastdifficulties the NCAA has hadwith enforcement. Also, the pro-posal- barely addresses the prob-lems of faking college transcripts,inflating grades, and the like.

Proposal 48 puts responsibilityon the student and on the highschool to begin preparation forcollege. Colleges and universitieshave an obligation to ensure thestudents they accept graduate,but a larger burden falls on thehigh school and student. Propos-al 48 is a small step in helping ridyoung athletes of the notion thatmaking it to the pros is guaran-teed if they are good on the play-ing fields.

Black educators are doingblack students an injustice bysaying the standards are racist. Ifthe standardized tests are cultur-ally biased, either revamp thetests or educate black youths onhow to take such exams. To sayblacks cannot meet the require-

and motivate young athletes toexcel not only on the playingfield, but where it counts - inthe classroom.

" I ,ment is to imply blacks are aca-demically inferior, an idea thathas taken over 300 years to provefalse. Let's stop making excuses,

anda-rdstroversy

A recent study by the BigEight athletic conference -which includes such schools asOklahoma, Nebraska, and Kan-sas - stated that had Proposal48 been in effect, more than 60percent of the black athletes at-tending Big Eight schools wouldhave been declared ineligible asfreshmen, while only ten to 27percent of white athletes wouldhave been declared ineligible.Such statistics could have possi-ble legal ramifications as well-under the "adverse impact"clause of the Civil Rights Acts of1965.

Setting a minimum test re-quirement does not take into ac-count that such tests are cultural-ly biased, detractors argue. In ad-dition, these tests aren't necessar-ily a reflection of how a potentialstudent will do in college; JosephD. Johnson, president of Gram-

(Please turn to page 15)

For years the National Colle-giate Athletic Association(NCAA) has paid lip service tothe academic deficiencies of so-called "student-athletes." In Jan-uary of this year, the NCAA de-cided to take a step toward cor--recting this problem and passedProposal 48, which already hassparked controversy and prom-ises to stir up more.

Proposal 48 deals primarilywith academic requirements forincoming freshmen, althoughthere is a modification to theNCAA's "satisfactory progress"rule. The two parts of the fresh-man eligibility requirement are asfollows:

1) A stuident must have a high-school grade point average(GPA) of at least 2.0 out of 4.0.This GPA must be obtained fromna curriculum consisting of I11academic courses, including aminimum of three in English, twoin math, two in the social sci-ences, and two in the natural orphysical sciences (including a lab-oratory class, if the school offersone).

2) A student must score aminimum of 700 on the Scholas-tic Aptitude Test (SAT) or 15 onth e A meri ca n C ol1lege Test(ACT).

The modification in the "satis-factory progress" clause requiresa student to earns a mninimumnumber of credits annually to-ward a specific degree. In thepast, a student only had to earn aminimum number of credits fromany courses the school offered.

These new rules on freshmnaneligibility apply only to DivisiconI schools (such as Michigan,Notre Dame, etc.), and take ef-fect on August 1, 1986, while theprogress clause applies to Divi-sion I and II athletes and comn-mences August 1, 1983.

Proposal 48 has split support-ers and opponents primarilyalong racial lines. Those againstthe new rules say they will reducethe number of black athletes at-tending major colleges, withsome observers going so far as tosay the new standards are racist.Many of those opposing the newrules are administrators in pre-dominantly black colleges anduniversities in the South. Othersfighting Proposal 48 are civilriohts leaders such as the Rev.Jesse Jackson of Operation:PUSH and the Rev. JosephLowery of the Southern ChristianLeadership Conference.

The chief argument againstProposal 48 is the standardizedtest provision. The averagye scorefor all blacks who took the SATis 684, slightlN, below the NCAArequirement, while the asveragefor whites is 92 5 (the gap be-tween wNhite and black scores hasnarrowed somew hat in recentyea rs).
