The food isdelicious, cooked by Abiel withno sugar, dairy, meat or anyartificial ingredient, and if youhave a few minutes to pass withhim, Abiel will give you therecipe. Each day he serves up anew menu; a dish made of grains(wheat, brown rice, beans, etc.)and one composed of vegetablessuch as cabbage, or squash, orpumpkin. For a dollar, Abiel willgive you a plate heaped with hismain dishes, and dessert, whichmight be fresh apple cider, ormaybe you'll pick raisin bread orcornbread smothered in apple,peanut, or sesame butter. Per-haps you sit on- the grass byMass. Ave. and watch the worldgo by, but if you listen, Abielhas a story to tell.

Until six months ago, Abielate the same foods that mostpeople do. He drank a lot ofliquids, and was almost carniv-orous. Then Abiel started study-ing Eastern philosophy. Some-how, it seemed wrong to him tobe eating and living as he was, sohe moved to the Eldridge St.House for Macrobiotics Study.Living on a diet of 50% grain,25% vegetable,-and 25% fruit,dairy and fish, Abiel lost about25 pounds and says that he hasnever felt so good in his life.

Abiel is now very concernedwith what he terms "humanecology." "Ecology starts inYour own bloodsteam." He de-scribes meat as rotting in yourintestines for three days, whilerice is in aid out in an hour orso. He does all his cooking usingonly sesame, sea salt, or mildspices like thyme as seasonings,since he believes that anything

By Robert Fourer -A heated discussion Wednes-

day afternoon culminated sever-al days of protest by two radicalgroups over evictions at anapartment house owned by theMIT-operated Northgate Corpor-ation.

Representatives of the MITReal Estate Office and the twoorganizations - local chapters ofStudents for a Democratic Soci-ety and University Action Group- found little they could agreeupon in the hour-long meeting.It was established that occupantsof two Northgate units had beenforced to leave, and that theexistence of lead-painted unitshad escaped the Real EstateOffice's attention. However, theprotesters contended the 'evic-tions had been improper, anddecried officials' refusal to set atimetable for removing the leadpaint hazard.

Radicals' allegations thatPeter Qulinn, Northgate manag-ing agent at the apartments, hadmade racist remarks to tenantsand spread vicious rumors, re-mained without substantiation.

SDS and UAG detailed theircharges in a leaflet passed outTuesday. It described a "con-frontation" Monday withAntony Herrey, Director of theReal Estate Office, and listedthree demands. It also invitedsympathizers to the meetingWednesday, at the Office'srooms in the Armory.

Protesters entered the build-ing about 3:15, and were led byMr: Harvey to a corner of thegymnasium, where their conver-sation competed with the noiseof several basketball games.Despite student protests that themeeting be moved to the quietoffices elsewhere in the Armory,discussion 'of some of thecharges and demands soon beganwithin earshot of most of thosepresent. Cautious and persistent

argument by MIT spokesmencontrasted with passionate de-nunciations and impatience onthe part of the protesters.

With regard to the firstdemand - no more evictions,reinstatement of families evicted- there was much dissension andscant agreement. Real EstateOffice officials argued withoutbeing contradicted that-tenantsin the two units in question wereforced out only after complaintsover a long period from residentselsewhere in the building; andthat even then they had onlybeen relocated by the CambridgeHousing Authority,-which hadoriginally placed them in theNorthgate units and subsidized

their rents with governmentfunds under the "leased hous-ing" program. Officials assertedthat both other leased housingtenants and MIT affiliates hadmade complaints citing unsani-tary conditions and late-nightactivities which they foundfrightening.

The radicals countered thatone woman had been removedonly because she had a baby andexceeded occupancy rules (offi-cials agreed to this but lateradded that the Housing Author-ity had earlier been asked toremove her because of tenantcomplaints, and had used this asan excuse). They also decried

By Reuben KleinThe Student Committee on

Educational Policy (SCEP), in itsfirst meeting of the year heardthe im'nutes of a recent meetingof the Faculty Committee onEducational Policy, in which thethree major points of the RogersCommittee study were summa-rized.

The Rogers Committee rec-ommended a greater researchinvolvement .for freshmen andsophomores, the appointment ofa Dean of Undergraduate Educa-tion, to replace the part-timefaculty committee now handlingthis job, and the establishmentof an educational research de-partment.

The SCEP meeting held Tues-day, September 28, was at-tended by approximately halfthe members and was mainlydevoted to organizational mat-ters

ResearchOne of the points of the

report which Chairman PeterMesseri of SCEP took issue withwas the recommendation for agreater involvement in researchamong freshmen and sopho-mores. He said that such involve-ment to the extent prescribed bythe Rogers Committee (up to25% of the student's time)would reverse the stated policyof the Institute to broadenstudent's horizons, as this sort ofresearch activity could wellchannel a student into a profes-sional specialty long before it iseither necessary or advisable forhimn to do so.

SCEP plans to split up thisyear into smaller task forcesinvolved in specific projects. Oneof these groups is to be involvedin general evaluation of educa-tion at MIT. This Task Forcewill study the pass-fail program,as well as the questions ofwhether students should eval-uate faculty and how this shouldbe done, and whether studentsshould be involved in tenuredecisions.

New programAnother Taske Force will be

involved in "New Programs."Their main role will be ingenerating alternative education-al styles and doing surveys andother research into any newdivisions being considered forthe school, such as the afore-mentioned Educatioral ResearchDepartment. Another group willbe involved in monitoring exist-ing programs as well as reportingon and analyzing any currentissues in any of these programs.

in addition to all this, SCEPwill continue its involvement insuch things as IAP and willcontinue its surveys and inqui-ries among the students onbehalf of various organizationswithin the school similar to theone they did last year for theUndergraduate Research Oppor-tunities Program. Also amongthe new things they intend toinvestigate this year are thepossibility of establishing adepartment of sociology or an-thropology capable of giving adegree.

Finally they have plans to doa study on "student mix" -they will review some of theadmissions procedures and thepublic relations efforts that theInstitute is carrying on. Inaddition, SCEP hopes to findout how MIT can attract moreof the people that they want itto attract.

By Pete Mancuso.The first two panel discus-

sions on "International Programsat MIT" focused on activitiescurrently in progress.

The speakers in the Tuesdayafternoon program includedProfessor of Urban PlanningLloyd Rodwin, Professor of CivilEngineering Frederick McGarry,Professor of Economics andPolitical Science Everett Hagen,and Associate Professor of Man-agement Thomas Allen.

Professor Rodwin spokeabout the Special Program forUrban and Regional Studies, aprogram which is currentlyunder his direction. He describedit as a non-degree program forthe preparation of those peoplewith the potential to reach highgovernmental posts in their na-tions. The program has existedfor the past-four-years, and hasenjoyed external aid from suchsources as the Ford Foundation.

Civil, EngineeringIn his presentation; Professor

McGarry concerned himself withthe work in the field of civilengineering that has been con-ducted in Latin-America-for thepast thirteen years by MIT. Thisprogram consists of sendingresearch teams into differentparts of Latin America toinvestigate the problems first-hand. These teams are composedof students-and faculty membersof the MIT community as-well asthose of foreignf institutions.

In the past, such problems asthe deleterious economical andecological effects of the intru-sion of salt water upon a freshwater environment have been

P6ls- d

studied. Another--project con-sisted of building structurescapable of withstanding earth-quakes. Such work. may beconducted by' anywhere fromone to6 fifteen men.

Younger members, accordingto Professor McGarry, have beenable to acquire responsibilitythrough this program to anextent that would niot otherwisehave been possible. They haveresponded most favorably to theopportunity, producing somethirty-five Master's - Degrees,thirty-three Doctor's Degrees,and nine Civil Engineering De-grees.

Professor Everett Hagen,Director of the Center forInternational Studies, discussedthe -work in the field of theeconomic and political develop-ment of developing nationswhich are presently in progressat the Institute. These studiesconsist of both broad theorizingon how political changes occur,and of work in the field. Such,varied projects as a study ofvoting patterns in -an Indianprecinct and rural-urban migra-tion have been undertaken bythe Center in the past.

Information flowIn his statement, Associate

Professor Thomas- Allen dealtwith .a project currently inprogress on how technical infor-mation is acquired and dissemi-nated in' 'national scientific:communities. Research workwas done in the Republic ofIreland, which is one of the fewcountries in the world with asmall enough technological com-munity to be put under close

scrutiny.According to Mr. Allen, -

results: of the study indicalthat informationi entered country. through' key tnediaiwho had created foreign ctcts - by working. abroad.l -Ithoped that the conclusionsthe study will be of use-learning about similar procesin the more complex scientcommunities of the larger:tions.

The second panel discussithat will look at the topicInternational. Programs will. taplace this Friday. It willconcerned with projects presely being considered for reseawwork at MIT.

MIT's observatory will beunique in the entire world in theversatility and capabilities of itsautomation. With- the controlsystem, all one will have to do toobserve a celestial object issimply .type its coordinates oreven its name into the tele-scope's computer system, whichwill point the' telescope exactlyat the object and automaticallykeep it on the object ·with anaccuracy of a second of arc.This job is much harder than itseems, because there are manyvarious environmental factorswhich cause a celestial object'sapparent position in the sky toconstantly change. Examples ofthese conditions include atmos-pheric refraction and tempera-ture variations and structurewarping. The telescope compu-ter system will have to take allthese factors into account andmove the telescope accordingly

ys, with the completion of theeorge R. Wallace, Jr. Observa-ry; MIT will have a pair ofes - in the form of optical[escopes - for investigating the

Located only 40 miles north-of MIT, the Wallace Obser-

aory will be used- primarily as aching and' training aid for

Lronomy students, both on the}ergraduate and-,graduate leV-s The observatory will also bed for student- and faculty-nted research projects thatuire the'use of the telescope.addition, astrophysical 'de-

ices of MIT design, such as newipes of spectroscopes and inter-

mroreters, will be tested'-anddusted using observatory facil-

as the object moves in the-sky.In the near future, Professor

Thomas McCord, chairman ofthe steering committee of theobservatory, plans to make theobservatory almost robotic inoperation. Dr. McCord plans toprogram the telescope computerso that it will be familiar withstar patterns and star brightness

-levels; this will enable thecomputer to distinguish betweenmiscellaneous star groups in thesky. Once the computer learnsthis function, it could relieve theastronomer of much tediousrecognition and guiding work.

For instance, the astronomerwould be able to program thetelescope system -to turn itselfon, open the dome doors, lookaround a section of the sky for acertain star, find that star,record its light spectrum, go onto another star, and likewisestudy it. In such a manner, thetelescope could be made to runthrough an entire night's obser-ving session automatically.Theoretically, the telescopesystem would be able to do alltedious observational work with-out an astronomer's presence.However, as Dr. McCord states, atelescope computer system capa-ble of such versatility would bevery hard to construct. With apractical, moderately comnpli-

cated computer system, theastronomer will practically al-'ways be needed to do at leastsome of the recognition andguiding work.

In Professor McCord's opin-ion, automation of observatoriesshould have occurred long ago.In fact, McCord regards many ofthe great observatories as beingprimitive in respects of efficien-cy and trouble-free operation.For example, in most largetelescope systems, just findingobjects in the sky may require alarge portion of the observingtime, while the actual observa-tion-study time of the object ismuch less.

It is hoped that MIT's obser-vatory will serve as an ideallyefficient, automated telescopesystem, which other large obser-vatories will pattern themselvesafter.

At this time, the observatoryis almost completed. The astron-omers' work-sleep quarters andthe two domes which house thetelescopes are already built.Both telescopes are in place andworking. The only work whichneeds completion is the connec-tion of the various computersystem units. Dedication of theobservatory will occur on Octo-ber 14.

The total cost of the two year

observatory construction projectis approximately 500,000 dol-lars. As a result of very tightgovernment and Institute mon-ey, the funds for constructionhad to be raised mostly throughdonations. The large majority ofthe funds was donated byGeorge R. Wallace, Jr., formerpresident of the Fitchburg PaperCompany. Rather appropriately,the observatory is named afterhim.

The "eyes" of the observa-ry will consist of one

Any student who wishes touse telescope facilities shouldsend a written request to Profes-sor McCord in room 54-616 bythe 20th of the month precedingthe month in which he wishes touse the facilities. The studentshould supply, with the request,a short proposal which brieflydescribes the student's observingprogram, and any instrumentswhich will be used. Otherneeded infornation includes thecourse number for which theproject is intended, which tele-scope will be used, and dates oftelescope use.

If a student's request isgranted, he will receive notifica-tion of his assigned time fromProfessor McCord by the first ofthe month. It is hoped that MITstudents will take full advantageof the Wallace Observatory facil-ities.

Rally organizers hope toregister 5,000 to 10,000 newyoung voters, the largest numberof voters ever to be registered atone place at one time. Thou-sands more are 'expected tocome to show their support forending the war, new priorities,and a new President in 1972.

The sponsoring organizationfor the rally is the MassachusettsVoter Registration Coalition, anon-partisan group of thirtypolitical organizations, laborunions, and elected officials. Thegroups includes Mass PAX, Citi-zens for Participation Politics,the Young Democrats, theRipon Society, and VietnamVeterans Against the War.

In recent months Lowensteinand some of the other speakershave spoken at similar ralliesaround the country to registeryoung voters and develop mo-mentum for change in 1972.Lowenstein is fond of remindinghis audience that Nixon won byonly 200,000 votes, while thereare potentially 25,000,000 newyoung voters who can award thenext election to the party orcandidate who can respond totheir desire for change in Amer-ica.

Almost everyone whohas taken Mrs. Wood'scourse has at least tripled Misreading speed with equal orbetter comprehension. Mosthave increased it even more.Some have increased it 10or even 20 times.

Think what that means.It means that all of

They don't skip orskim, either. They readevery single word. And theyactually understand more,remember more and enjoymore of what they've readthan they did before theytook the course.

You can make the samekind of progress. Even ifyou're a relatively slowreader.

We're so confident ofthe results of this coursethat if you don't triple yourreading ability, it won'tcost you a cent.

This is the same coursePresident Kennedy had hisChiefs of Staff take. Thesame one 25 U.S. senatorsand representatives havetaken.

The course is 8 weekslong, and consists of a 2Ahour class which meetsonce a week.

the media and the government will probe;bly wviden even as more and more cla4fled information appears in the nationspress due to a leak by someone -trying tocontinue an internal debate -in public o,due to the, actions of a disenchantedformr employee.

The fact is that the government needThe Times more than The Times need:the government. As long as such a situ>;tion obtains, attempts to censor the pretor restrict contact between governmentUofficials and newsmen will probably be of:little or -no avail. On more than Oatoccasion, a President, of the United-States, no less, has learned of acfivities-within his own Administration by pet.using the pages of.The New York TimerThe columns of The Washington Post and,The Times are regularly used for thecontinuation of private intra-government.;-al debates.

The veneer has finally worn off theuNew Nixon. Beneath it, one can obserethe characteristics which provoked-Nixon's outburst at the press after hidefeat in the 1962 California gubernator.-al campaign, which led him to dupe the!press in 1968 as Joe McGuinemsdescribed in The Selling of-the President,-and which led him to send forth SpiroAgnew to lead the attack against the news-media.

It appears that the press has finallycaught on to what is happening -and wiinot put up with a re-run of the 1968campaign in 1972. Hence, one objectiveof the aspersions cast upon the press may-:be to'so discredit the reporters in the eyeof the public that. little credibility will be!placed in press coverage of Nixoh's 1972 icampaign.

In such-an atmosphere, the gulf' be.tween the news media and the gover&ment will probably continue to widen,-The battle between the press and the-government can only hasten. the trend-from government of, -by, and for the!people to government of, by and for the governors. .

L

By Peter Peckarsky. Much has been said and written about

the Pentagon Papers. One striking thingabout them to this observer is the splitwhich their publication revealed withinthat amorphous body called the Estab-lishmeni.

In the past, when The New YorkTimes was about to break a big story on aclassified topic, the. government had beenadvised of the impending publication, andin some instances, given an opportunityto review the article prior to its appear-ance-in the newspaper. Some years ago,John McCone, at the time a formerDirector of Central Intelligence, advisedThe Times before publication about pos-sible security violations in a series on theCentral Intelligence Agency. The Timesunearthed the significant facts about Pro-ject Argus, the code name for a 1958series of high altitude nuclear explosions,and then suppressed the story for manymonths. Finally, when several other pub-lications Were-on the verge of completingtheir investigative work into ProjectArgus, Walter Sullivan, science writer forThe Times, informed officials within theDefense Department and the ExecutiveOffice of the President that The Timescould no longer withhold the facts fromits readers and would release the entirestory.

In April, 1961, perhaps the mostcelebrated instance of news suppressionby The Times occurred. Prior to the Bayof Pigs fiasco, The Times hierarchy, at thedirect request of President Kennedy,squelched an expose of- the entire opera-tioin. Suppression of the Bay of Pigs storyfollowed a bitter-dispute within TheTimes staff. James ("Scotty") Reston,the closest thing the Sulzberger family,owners of The Times, has to an unoffici-al son, and then Washington BureauChief, prevailed upon the publisher, byinvoking the national interest, to overruleManaging Editor Clifton Daniel who fa-vored publishing the entire story of theCIA preparations for the Bay of Pigs. Theeffects of this instance of news manage-ment reverberated through. The Timesuntil 1968. After the invasion, Kennedyexpressed the wish that The Times' edi-tors had published the.story in spite of hisobjections. If The Times had run thestory, the Bay of Pigs invasion could nothave taken place at that time wmiith suchdisastrous results (i.e. clandestine nightlandings, previously announced in one ofthe world's leading newspapers usuallyare cancelled).

However, during the course of theVietnam War the attitude of The Times,along with that of the country, hasundergone an evolutionary change withrespect to not only the War but alsogovernment credibility. In the past, whena government spokesman said that some-thing was vital to the national security orinterest, the immediate reaction was togive full faith and credit to the spokes-man's claim. By the late 1960's, theimmediate reaction had become one ofinstant doubt and speculation as to thereal reason for the government's putting aspecific subject under-wraps.

Early this spring, The Times acquiredthe Pentagon Papers and again faced adecision as to whether or not to publishhighly classified information. Again, thepublisher, this time'joined by The Timeslawyers, was opposed (The Times' publi-shers tend to be conservative in thenon-political sense). The crucial differ-ence this year was that Scotty Reston,Max Frankel, the Washington BureauChief, and, as far as can be ascertained atthis time, most of the other members ofThe Times' news staff appear to havebeen in favor of. painting an account ofthe Pentagon Papers. The Pentagon Pa-

pers appear to have been a politicaldocument from. start to fifish. This im-pression was strengthened by the factthat after having been in possession- ofthem for several months, The Timesdecided to run the story three daysbefore the vote on the McGovemn-HatfieldAmendment to End the War.

The government was not informed ofThe Times' decision to publish nor wasthe government given the opportunity toreview'-the material for possible breachesof the security regulations, probably be--cause the editors expected the eventualgovernment reaction to the bombshell. Infact, the secret of the Pentagon Paperswas held so tightly that Attorney GeneralMitchell, Secretary of Defense Laird, and -President Nixon knew nothing about thePentagon Papers until they picked uptheir copies of The New York Times onSunday morning, June 13. Apparently-the Pentagon. Papers were a well-kept.secret- within the government also as theState Department could not find its copyfor forty-eight hours after the first Timesstory.

As Frankel testified in an affidavitfiled in connection with the court battleover publication, leaks of classified infor-mation appear in the print and electronicmedia daily with little or no publiccognizance of the leaks being taken byresponsible officials of the United States.However, the story of the Pentagon Pa-pers was a massive hemorrhage, not amere leak, and the Nixon Administrationreacted in its typical fashion with astrategy fore-ordained to maximize theloss of political capital and face for theAdministration. It was clear once thePapers appeared in The Times, prolifer-ated to Thie Washington Post and TheBoston Globe and were picked up by thewire services that the American peoplewould be able to read the full story of thePentagon Papers irrespective of the Su-preme Court decision. If tile Court haddecided to suppress the Papers they prob-ably would have been published abroadand smuggled into the country or elsebeen published under Congressional im-munity as-Senator Mike Gravel (D.-Alaska)is doing now. Hence, the Administrationshould have know that at best it wouldhave been able to suppress the papers fora. limited time. The cost of the courtaction was impressive. For the secondtime in two months, Richard Nixon, whohad sworn to "preserve, protect anddefend the Constitution" apparently die-cided that another section of tfie Bill ofRights, on this occasion the First Amend-ment, could be suspended.

Some observers have reasoned that theAdministration, faced with a massive vio-lation of the security regulations, had todo something. It would have been just asdamaging, politically, to do nothing.as toattempt to place a prior restraint on thepress for the first time in the history ofthe Republic. These commentators wouldargue that the court action was designednot to stop publication of the.PentagonPapers, but to serve as a warning togovernment officials who might contem-plate releasing such information in thefuture. Apparently; the strategy, if this infact, was the Administration's goal, didnot work, since some vital informationabout the Strategic Arms LimitationTalks was leaked to The Times later inthe summer. The security classification ofthe information about bargaining at theSALT talks was so high that FBI agentsgave lie detector test to several employeesof the State Department in an attempt todiscover the source of the information.According to news reports, the employeespassed the test with flying colors.

With- the current Administration's atti-tude toward the press, the split between

to a contract of four heartsSouth considered his openinglead. As leading a heart, a dia-mond, or a club was likely toprove costly, he led the jack ofspades. He was right, because asthe cards lie a spade is the onlylead which can give the declarerany trouble.

North took the king and aceof spades, and returned thedeuce of clubs. Declarer tookthe ace of clubs and cashed theace of diamonds. When, afterwinning a fimesse with the queenof hearts and leading to the ace,the hearts split three-two, de-clarer had no further problems.

If you've read this far with-out sensing that anything waswrong you've missed South'sbest defensive chance.

When East led the ace ofdiamonds South should, withouthesitation, have dropped thequeen of diamonds. Why? Thereare three major reasons: It couldnot hurt. The queen was sure todrop under the king, anyway. Ifdeclarer believed that a defenderwas void in diamonds he mightexperience difficulties reachingdummy. In general, whexl theobvious plays (heart f'messe,diamond finesse) are going towork, it pays to make youropponent think. He might find a"better" play.

In actual play South did dropthe queen of diamonds. Declarerthen led the queen of hearts andSouth, continuing his policy ofremoving dummy's entries,covered with the king. East re-turned to his hand with the kingof clubs, ruffed his losing club,but then could not figure outhow to return to his hand todraw another round of trumpsand hold his losers in that suit toone.

He guessed wrong by leadinga spade. Down one. Declarer was,ather surpised when South laterproduced the two of diamonds.

However, you have allrealized that East should havemade his contract by reasoninglogically at the crucial moment.For the few of you who haven'tfigured it out, I'll explain it nexttime.

si'lt ute :'there is a very real danger thatmiddle income students will findit harder and harder to comehere... i would like to say thatwe are not going to raise tuitionfor tle next couple of years. Butwe haven't been at this job longenough, to know what to do...[the major thrust] of our fundraising campaign is money forstudent aid. It's at the top of ourlist."

The speech will bere-broadcast, with the questionand answer period, at 12 noonon Thursday, October ? byWTBS (88.1).

Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner kickedoff 2 weeks-of events celebratinghis upcoming inauguration bynoting a "marked difference" in

this year's freshman class.In an address to the MIT

Alumni Association last Mondayat the Faculty Club, Wiesner alsospoke of the problems he hasbeen encountering since hebecame president. Primarily, henoted, "most people ask me howthings are, as though they expectme to be unhappy. Well, thingshere are great." He went on tonote that, among the membersof the class of '75 he had met,there was a distinct trend awayfrom political concerns, andtowards more serious devotionto academics. -

Dr. Wiesner- stated that,"People ask what our -worst

problem is. I smile.. and say thatthe only problem we have isfinancial. That is, essentially, thesituation at the moment. Wehave a lot of other problems thathave always been here; buildingthe faculty, working our wayinto new areas, trying tostimulate interdisciplinary acti-vities... our responsibilities toCambridge continue to over-whelm. us... more housing...these are all the problems thatwe continue to wrestle With."

In particular, speaking of theproblem of developing new.faculty, it was pointed out :thatdue to budget. cuts in recentyears, the number of juniorfaculty, the "new blood" of thefuture, has been cut drastically,with possible long-range effects-on the- quality of the education

being offered at the Institute.Wiesner, who both made

prepared remarks and answeredquestions, and Chancellor PaulGray, who-joined Wiesner toanswer questions, covered- abroad range of topics, includingexperimental programs at MIT,the relation of humanities toengineering, and the- possiblefuture courses of MITundergraduate education.

They both dwelt longest onthe topic of major concern:money. "It's easy enough forpoor -or wealthy students tocome here," said Wiesner, "but

"It is not out -of the questionthat the Boston area may expen-ience an earthquake approachiingthe intensity of the one inCalifornia last January."

Sound far-fetched? Maybe.However, engineers- at. MIT arepresently taking the earthquakepossibility more seriously thanyou might think.

National Science Foundationgrants totaling $217,400 havebeen awarded to the Institute tosupport a systematic study ofthe tradeoffs in anti-earthquakestructural design in the US.

Earth tremors are not asdistant to Boston as one maythink, the last one occurring ini963, causing very little damage.Back in 1755, Boston experi-enced "a potentially very dama-ging earthquake," says ProfessorRobert B. Whitman, Director ofthe Civil Engineering Depart-ment's Structural EngineeringDivision, who is heading up theresearch program.

When asked about the condi-tion of the buildings On the MITcampus, he commented thatalthough the land which theInstitute is on -is "real muck,"with 30 feet of fill at the top, alayer of sand, and then a layer ofBoston clay, "the buildings here

It would be similar to theCalifornia earthquake as was feltin Los Angeles, and would notdo much damage to well-constructed buildings."

When asked about the extentof damnage to MIT resulting fromsuch an earthquake, ProfessorWhitman assured The Tech thatthere "is not much chance ofMIT sinking into the Charles."And in the future, his researchgroup will procede "on thepresumption that everything isstructurally sound, and, thenwork from there."

ysBo ton -on campus are quite safe."Professor Whitman also said that

-a report which stated that theGreen Building is "sinking intothe ground at a rate of threeinches per year" is probablyincorrect. He said that thebuilding is built on caissons,suipported at the bottom by alayer of rock. Whitman alsoadded that the Student Centerand Kresge Auditorium, despitereports to the contrary, "arestructurally sound."

According to Whitman, thepossibility of tremors lies in thefact that there are geologicalfaults all throughout the area.Slips in the faults occur every sooften; but in his words "There isnothing to be concerned with."He also commented on the

PAGE 8 FRIDAY,OCTOBER 1,1971 TTECH

Intercollegiate Rowing Cham-pionships held over the summerat Syracuse, N.Y. Dave Burns'72, coxswain, Greg Chisholm'73, stroke, Larry Esposito '72,2-seat, and Tom Bentley '73,box, rowed to a second placefminish in the four-oared-with-rcoxswaim event, three seconds.behind winner Navy, the-Eastern.Sprint Champion last spring. Theother oarsman was Bob Rance-

'71, who now rows -with thegraduate'crew.

The IRA regatta is a. three-day affair, and MIT's fourqualified for the final on thefirst day of heats, June 17. Thefour, which averaged 6'3/4", 190lbs., was the second, largest boatin the:competition, representingma total of 16 schools. This is,Highly unusual, as M[T is not-irenowned for particularly largeheavies.

The field was narrowed to sixfor the final race held Saturday,June 19 (incidentally, MIT wasthe biggest boat in the final),which Navy won by a length in7:00.9. Tech was clocked at7:30.9, and had open water onthe rest of the pack.

This fail Holland has 17oarsmen candidates and _twocoxswains. Varsity captain LarryFirment '72 is not rowing now,but is expected to return in thespring. Thus the varsity squad istwo full boats plus, where lastyear there was but one boatload.Needless to say, seats in the first:varsity eight will be harder tocome by, and this implies thatMIT should be more competitivecome· the intercollegiate seasonin the spring.

The crews don't have to waituntil spring to get a taste ofcompetition though, as the Headof the Charles Regatta is Octo-ber 24. MIT is the defendingchampion for this regatta, whichis the largest regatta held in'thewestern hemisphere. Last yearTech won the ·Paul RevereTrophy for tops in the overallpoint counting. Coach· Hollandwill send his most effective boatinto the Senior Four event, andwill also have men in the JuniorFour' and Junior Eigh t . MIT'sentry in the Senior Eight, theelite event of the regatta, will bethe graduate crew.

Steve Cochi. interception. Finalscore: SAE22, Fiji-6.

In a contest which showedthe depths to which 'A' leaguefootball can descend, LambdaChi Alpha defeated the BlackStudent Union 19-9 in a poorlyplayed, questionably officiatedgamne.

BSU moved out to a-2-0 leadon a safety resulting from aseries -of bad snaps. LCA camesurging back with a 50-yard runfor a touchdown. A "phantomtag" - near mid-field caused aheated argument which removedany taste of sportsmanship fromthe rest of the game. A 72-yardkick return for BSU by speedyBill Hferd and a LCA touchdownpass gave LCA a 13-9 lead-at halftime.

In the second half, the onlyscoring action was a 30-yard passfrom LCA quarterback CharlesSnell '71 to Mike Ashmore '72.There was, however, a great dealof other action in the form oftackling and piling-on includingone incident where severalpunches were thrown at adowned LCA player on the BSUsideline.

Both teams showed defensivestrength and BSU featured fineinside running while LCA hadgood passing but these qualitieswere not greatly in evidence asthe game was more a shoutingmatch than an athletic contest.It is realty a shame that twogood teams should have wastedan afternoon in such a manner:

time they got the ball -after aninterception by.Steve Cochi'73.Cochi caught a 22-yard pass fora TD as well as a pass for theextra point to put SAE ahiead tostay, 7-6. A second quarter drivefeaturing a combination ofHartman running and Cochireceiving was climaxed by a31-yard touchdown pass to DaveYauch. Hartman's sneak madethe score 14-6. Later a 30-yardHartman-Cochi pass made thescore 20-6 at the half.

- The second half saw the paceslow considerably as. the com-plexion of the game changed.Neither offense put any pointson the board; the only scoring inthe half was a safety by SAEwhen a bad snap from centerwas downed in the end zone.
