THE TECH FRIDAY, APRIL 21X 1972 PAGE 15.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . -,"

.''ce I_--

By Dana Gantt With two wins in three home

contests, MIT's varsity baseballteam pushed its record above the.500 mark, to 4-3-2, in actionover the past week. The batsmernlost a tough, darkness-abbreviated decision to Norwich,6-4, on April 14; fought back-from an early deficit to defeatMiddlebury the next day, 8-3;and, this past Tuesday, edgedpast WPI by the score of 4-3.

Against- Norwich, MIT fellbehind early -as the lead-ffhitter for Norwich cracked asingle to right and. came fullcircuit to score as the ball gotpast the right fielder and rolledto the fence. 'A walk, twosingles, a double, and a costlyerror plated three more Norwichruns in the third. A single byRich Roy '72 and a triple by JoeDeAngelo '74 got M1IT into thescoring column in the fourth,but two wild pitches opened thegates for two more Norwichscores in the sixth and a 6-1Norwich lead.

MIT tried to pull out thegame in the late innings. A solohomer by Roy and a two-rundouble by Ken Weisshaar '72 aninning later, narrowedl the gap toG-4, but it was too Little, too lateas the game was called due to

darkness after seven innings.MIT fell behind early in

Saturday's contest withMiddlebury as started Al Dopfel'72 had some control problemsin the first inning. Five walksallowed, Middlebury to taflythree runs without a hit. Dopfelsettled down thereafter pitchingno-run, vo-mit ball through thefirst seven innings.

Xn the Ieantime, MU3ET'soffense was sputtering and didnot score until, with two gone inthe home seventh, an error gavethe Enginers a baserunner. Twow-alks, successive singles byDopfl, Roy, DeAngelo andHerb Kummer '75, and threemore walks, enabled Tech toplate seven tallies anld pull outthe contest.

Dave Yauch '75 came on inrelief of Dopfeil pulled for apinch runner, to pitch twoinnings of shutout relief andpick up the save. The twocombined for a one-hnitter.

On Tuesday MIT, led by Royand Kevin Rowland '74 withthree hits apiece, edged WPI in awell-played affair. Starter ChuckHolcom '72t yielded but threeruns over the six frames heworked, giving up one in thesecond on a double, singe, and a

sacrifice fly and allowing a

two-run homer in the fifth.MIT countered WPl's second

inning tally with two of theirown on a single and stolen baseby Roy, Rowland's RBI single, abase hit by Rich Charpie '73,and a passed ball. A walk andanother stolen base, this byWeisshaar in the third, set upRoy's second single and Tech'sthird run. After WPI's tyinghomer, with two down in thefifth, Weisshaar singled, stole hissecond base of the game androde homne on Roy's thirdconsecutive safety.

Struck on his pitching handby a line drive in the sixth,Holcom yielded the pitchingduties to Yauch and Dopfel whohurled perfect ball over the lastthree innings to nail down the4-3 win.

Sidearm hurler Chuck Holcum '72 pitched in two of the three homecontests fOr the baseball team this past week. Holcurn was the loserin the team's 64 loss to Norwich, but got the win in downing WPI4-3. Al Dopfel '72 was the winning pitcher in the 8-3 defeat ofMiddlebury, with Dave Yauch '75 registering a save. MITI-'s seasonrecord now stands at 4-3-2.

PAGE 16 FRIDAY,APRIL21, 1972 THE TECCH

By Brad BiiletdeauxOn the waters of the Charles

and the Harlemn, MIT crewsscored stunning victories overtheir Ivy League opponents. Thelightweights won three of fourraces, here at home, while theheavyweights did exactly thesame in New York City.

"We were strong all the way,"Andy Moehlenbrock '74 said,summing up the lightweightcrew squad's victory over Yalelast Saturday. On a decidedlyunspringlike day, overcast, coldwith crosswinds blowing overthe Charles River, the liglhts'fortunes shone bright as thefresh, second varsity and varsityboats all triumphed over the Elisby open water margins.

The varsity, stroked bycaptain Vance Smith'72, "wentlike a bat out of hell" in thestart, according to coach JackFrailey, taking six seats fromYale immediately. Then theysettled nicely, despite the winds,to a racing beat of 331/2, toYale's 3214, and slowly inchedaway. That beautiful moment ofopen water (a lead of just overone length, or an open gapbetween MIT's stern and Yale'sbow) came after the HarvardBridge before the PierceBoathouse.

They continued rowing wellas the stroke was raised to 3 6 forthe finishing burst, getting goodrun of the boat for each stroke.Evidently the aerobic training ofthe fall and the ergometer workthis winter have paid off in theincreased stamina of the crew, asthe varsity was about as smoothat the finish of the 2000 metersas they were at the start.

For the second week in a rowthe light frosh failed to have areal race, demolishing Yale in amere ten strokes. The weekbefore they had gined asubstantial lead over a TrinityCollege varsity in twentystrokes, but last Saturday theyhad one-half length before coxCraig Reynolds even had achance to look over at Yale andreport to his crew. By theHarvard Bridge (slightly overhalf way on the course) thef rosh had an incredible20-second margin on Yale andwent on to a final winning gapof 29 seconds, over sevenlengths.

The second varsity boat racewas a prime example of thecoxswain's function in a race.

MIT had a four-seat lead at the1500 meter mark but was havingtrouble with the 34 stroke (theyhad wanted to row at 33), andYale was starting to move onthem. Then cox Steve Chessin'72 noticed that one of his menwas putting his oar into thewater slightly before the strokeoar. Chessin instructed the man,the boat settled together, thestroke went to 33, and Techmenpulled away to a 3/4 length lead.At the Harvard Bridge the crewsare briefly out of sight of eachother as they go throughdifferent arches. So Chessincalled for big strokes under thebridge and surprised Yale with afull length lead after emergingon the upriver side.

The only loss at home was inthe second frosh race, whereMIT was considerablyoutw eighed by the BrownUniversity heavyweightfreshmen. MIT led for the first1500 meters, but Brown pre-vailed in the last 500 meters.

The varsity heavies had a veryeasy row on the Harlem River inNew York, beating UMass bythree lengths and Columbia byabout eight. Their tougheststruggle was against the tide onthe river, so their time was veryslow.

The frosh first boat didlikewise (UMass by three andColumbia way back) but as theyrowed with the outgoingcurrent, they turned in asub-6-minute 2000 meter time.

Racing in four-oared shellsinstead of the normal eight, theheavy second varsity lost toUMass but beat Columnbia.

MIT's second frosh heaviesgot in a scrap with the Harvardsecond light fresh and with afew police launches tearing upthe river. The Techmen's iowerstroke was more effective in thestanding waves, giving them aone-length victory and somecrimson shirts.

All of the MIT crews willhave tough and important teststomorrow on the Charles. Thelights face reigning championHarvard and Dartmouth, withthe heavies rowing the bigHuskies of Northeastern andBoston University. It should bean exciting day, especially in thelight frosh race. Last yearHarvard nipped the Engineerfrosh by 0.3 second, andtomorrow coach Fraser Walsh islooking to reverse his fortune.

Wiesner was questioned on allaspects of the strike targets, in-cluding the divestment of theLincoln and IDraper Labs, warresearch at MIT and at the Cen-ter for International Studies, inaddition to his own personalinvolvement with alleged war re-search and developments indi-rectly resulting in escalations tothe war, such as the controver-sial electronic battlefield and hispostion as a director of a corpo-ration involved in war research.With 1600 votes in, The Tec's poshows 984 undergraduates favoring aUA-sponsored strike.

Asked by the strikers aboutan administration position onthe strike, Wiesner said that thedecision would be a faculty one,and that a faculty meeting maybe called, but it probably wouldnot take place before Thursdayor Friday. In the meantime, theCEP is attempting to formulatesome type of stand on the issueof classes missed.

In addressing himself tc thequestion of the Draper andLincoln Labs, Wiesner insistedthat the process of divestmentwas still continuing, amidstreports that the administrationhad gone back on its word re-garding the spin-off from MIT.

On the subject of the Centerfor International Studies,Wiesner said that people at thethe CIS "are not doing anyresearch related to the war ingeneral. . although I don't agreewith some of the people [at theCIS I, I do respect their academ-

The ward committees have inthe past been primarilycomposed of party regulars.However, min today's elections,there will be reform slateschallenging the incumbants inevery ward except one, wherethe incumbant group is a reformcommittee.

Dave Sullivan told The Techthat the main goal of the reformslates which are running is totake control of the citycommittee for purposes ofireforming voter registration inCambridge.

Sullivan hit upon the presentelection commission as being thebody which has made it sodifficult for students residing inCambridge to vote. Since theelection commission isnominated by the citycommittee, Sullivan and othermembers of the challenge slateshope that after today's electionstudent voter registration maybe facilitated.

In addition to theenumerated duties of the wardcommittees, the challenge slatesin today's race hope to make theposition one which will be moreinfluential in city affairs.

The reform slates, andparticularly the slate running inWard 2, are emphasizing morecommunication with theconstituents within the wards,and have stated their intentionsto take stands on Cambridgepolitical issues such as drugs,education, child care, housing,and rent control.

Much of the questioning cen-tered on Wiesner's alleged affilia-tion with the research and devel-opment of the McNamaraFence, and later the electronicbattlefield in Vietnam, as he ismentioned in the Pentagon Pa-pers in relation to the idea.

He told the crowd that the e-allegations made had "some ele-ments of truth" in them andthat in 1965 he and three otherscientists, including MIT'sJerrold Zacharias, were investi-gating ways to hasten troopwithdrawals from Vietnam,while still not endangering thesecurity of remaining troops.

week climaxed with anose-to-nose encounter betweenSDS members and two MITadministrators at a door to theHermann Building, home of theCenter for International Studies(CIS).

Having forced their way pastone locked door in the overheadpassage connecting the HermannBuilding with the Sloan School,the demonstrators met Dean forStudent Affairs J. Daniel Nyhartand Vice President ConstantineSimonides blocking the secondand last pair of doors. Inside thedoors, campus patrolmen andother administrators had used aheavy chain and a table to holdthe doors shut.

The two administratorswarned the demonstrators of theconsequences of forcing theirway into the building, and after20 or 30 minute of verbalexchanges the demonstratorsleft.

Several dozen persons whohad occupied the Dean ofStudent Affairs Office at theBoston University StudentUnion -Friday afternoon werearrested and led from thebuilding less than 24 hours later.

A group of approximately700 demonstrators left Fridayafternoon'' rally on theCommon and marched toBoston University with theintention of re-occupying BUPresident John Silber's office inthe administration building at147 Bay State Rd. The intent ofthe march was to protest thearrest of three BU studentsduring anti-war activities lastmonth:

The marchers wereconfronted at the administrationbuilding by six campuspatrolmen and a force ofapproximately 230 members ofBoston's Tactical Police Force(TPF). The leaders of the marchquickly changed plans and choseDean of Student Affairs StatonR. Curtis' office as an alternatetarget. The door to Curtis' office(located on the third floor of the

corridor out to building 20,headquarters for the ArmedForces' three MIT ROTC units.Campus patrolmen andadministrators were waiting, andlistened stoically to themarchers' brief round ofchanting. The main body ofdemonstrators then turnedtoward-the CIS, while a few oftheir number sprinted ahead tocheck the entrances.

C a m p u s p a t rolmen werewaiting at the ground leveldoors, and refused to let the fewdemonstrators into the building.Two or three then darted intothe Sloan School and up thestairs to try the third-floorcrossover. Finding it locked,they returned downstairs as themain body of the demonstratorsarrived.

Again campus patrolmen and,administrators refused to let theprotestors into the building.While the majority stayedoutside in the courtyard, about60 demonstrators moved intothe Sloan School and up thestairs to the same door. Anattempt was made to force thelock with a Coop card, but itwas fruitless. Inspecting the doorcarefully, o n e oe of thedemonstrators realized that the

Student Union building) wasforced open by removal of asmall glass "see-through" and acrowd of about fifty peopleproceeded to "occupy" theroom. This group includedseveral leaders of past MITdemonstrations.

Inside the office there wererepeated pleas for those presentto refrain from wantonvandalism and to limit theiractivities to the rifling of filesand discussion of the files'contents.

Top BU administrators, underthe direction of Vice Presidentfor Business Operations DanielFinn, decided not to clear thebuilding Friday night, butinstead invoked a'court-orderedinjunction against those still inthe Dean's Office by midnightFriday. The terms of theinjunction caused thoseremaining in the office (but notthose spending the night in thesecond-floor lounge which wasopen to members of the BUcommunity) to be in contemptof the Suffolk County SuperiorCourt.

At 7:30 am Saturday, theadministrators announced that

wood trim holding in a glasswindow could be removed easilywith a screwdriver. A knife waspassed up, and while Nyhart,who had squeezed his way to thefront of the crowd, warned thestudent that he was liable toboth internal and externaldiscipline if he forced the door,he began removing the screws.The only response to Nyhart'sthreat of disciplinary action was,the passing around of the knifeso a number of the protestorscould help loosen and removethe screws.

'The crowd was not planningthe same trashing that hadheavily damaged Harvard'sCenter for International Affairsearlier in the week. While thescrews were being removed anSDS member with a bullhornurged the crowd to refrain fromdamaging the building whileconfronting a number of theimportant CIS staff.

Once the trim was off, thepane of glass could be removedand the door opened by a handreaching through to thedoorknob inside. Dozens of thedemonstrators surged into thecrossover, while Nyhart andSimon'ides (who had arrived

the Union would be sealed at 8am. Between 7:30 and 8 most ofthose still in the Union departed,and the Dean's Office wascleared. At 2 pm Saturday theBoston TPF arrived and arrestedthe 60 remaining people withoutany incidence of violence. Thepeaceful surrender of these sixtywas arranged by a BU chaplainwho intervened in the interestsof maintaining peaceful justice,with the full cooperation ofboth the demonstrators and theTPF. He escorted into thebuilding a single officer from theTPF who placed the dissidentgroup under arrest and led themfrom the building.

Following the arrests at theUnion Saturday afternoon, theRegistrar's Building wasbriefly entered and just asquickly emptied when the TPFappeared. The Union wasre-opened at 2 pm Sunday.According to several members ofthe BU administration, thepeople arrested on Saturdaywere mainly freshmen andsophomores and the arresteesdid not include the allegedleaders of the occupation.

By Bruce PeetzSome 25 MIT faculty

members, meeting Fridaymorning to discuss the strike,adopted a wait and see attitude,feeling that the undergraduatesare the people who will carry onthe strike.

The question of an"emergency faculty meeting"also came up, but somebodypointed out that there had beena faculty meeting Wednesdayand nobody there had siadanything about a strike.

Most of the meeting,attended largely by juniorfaculty already sympathetic tothe strike, was devoted todiscussing a petition preparedthe night before by Professor ofMathematics Warren Ambrose,that "a' ffirms our, theundersigned, support for a strikeagainst the Indoclina War andMIT's complicity in that war."

The group raised-the questionof what is meant by "strike" inthe resosiution and whether thedocument should concern itselfmore with the war, rather thanwith the difficulties at MIT (theDraper and Lincoln Laboratoriesand the CIS, for example). Thequestion was also raised whether

The resolution was endorsedlate in the meeting (by whichtime attendance had fallen to

The text of the petition is asfollows: "We, the undersignedmembers of the MIT faculty,affirmn our support for a strikeagainst the Indochina War andMIT's complicity in that war'. Weoppose the MIT projects thathelp the US government in itsexploitation of the Third World.These include ROTC, militaryresearch (both within academicMIT and affiliated laboratories),and social research in support ofrepressive regimes (as at theCenter for InternationalStudies).

participating school. A memberof MIT-SDS tried to organize amarch on the CIS; his tiradeconde-mIned .allegedcounterinsurgency research,including a US politicalassasination program he claimedwas developed at MIT, andended by calling for a march toMIT by 30004000 people sothat they could takce the CIS bystorm. Nos one left the Squareafter the guerrilla theater whenthe march to MIT was to occur.Instead, the MIT peoplesuggested that the crowd marchto Harvard to support membersof the Pan American LiberationCommittee, who had occupiedPresident Derek Bok's officeearlier in the week.

The crowd dispersed at 3:30so that workers "would not bedisrupted on their way home."Fifteen hundred marched to BUto picket the BU Student Centerin support of students insidewho had earlier occupied theoffices of the Dean of Students.Only two hundred rnarched toHarvard up MassachusettsAvenue. No one showed up atthe CIS except severalprofessors, students, andadministrators who had beenlocked out of their offices at 3pm when the building was closedoff in response to the take-overthreat made by MIT-SDS at thePost Office Square rally.

Behind the building, however,were three busloads ofCambridge Police, arrayed inbattle gear and brandishingtear-gas guns. A large green vanand three patrol cars, allcontaining police dogs, wereparked nearby. All had arrived atabout 3 pm.

M IT maintains that thedecision to call police on to theMIT campus prior to an actualoutbreak of violence does notconstitute a change in its policyof dealing with internal protestswithout the aid of outsidepolice. However, earlier thatday; CIS head EugeneSkolnikoff tol'd Center personnelthat MIT had made anarralgemnent to summon theCambridge police shouldphysical destruction appearimminexlt. Associate Dean

Richard Sorenson, though, toldThe Tech that while theCambridge Police weresummoned by MIT to the CenterThursday evening, they hadcome to the Sloan parking lot ontheir own accord. "They don'twant to be caught flat-footedagain, like at the CFIA," he said.

At about 5 po, Mile Albertof PCPJ and an advocate of atake-over of the CIS, drove intothe Sloan parking lot in his lightblue VW van, saw the threebusloads of police and dogs, andquickly drove out of the area.

The police stayed until lateevening, but Centeradministrators left by 6 pm,when an uneventful nightseemed assured. Nonetheless,heavy security was implementedat the CIS over the weekend.

By MIichael FeirtagAt about 3 pmn last Friday, while

across the river at Post Office Square inBoston perhaps 5 ,000 demonstratorsblocked traffic, three MBTA busses, threeCambridge police cars, and one unmarkedgreen van- pulled into the almost desertedparking lot behind the Hermann andSloan Buildings. The busses containedCambridge police dressed not in theircustomary uniforms bult in what appearedto be their equivalent of military fatigues,the unmarked van contained several dogs.

Perhaps an hour later, a vehicle whichsome of our reporters could identify asbelonging to an activist they knew cruisedaround the building and sped off. Shortlyafter that, a person lounging against thefront wall of the Hermann Building wasjoined by three others; the four moved tothe side of the, building, whichcommanded a view of the parking lot andthe police forces; the four departed. Itwas about this time that the Post OfficeSquare demonstration moved to BostonUniversity, with the sole exception of asmall contingent that went to Harvard.apparently in support of the group thathad occupied a building there in protestof Harvard's alleged complicity in'Portugese imperialism in Angola. Thepolice near the Hermann buildingremained -into the night, withoutincident.

How they camrs to be there must be acurious story, but one which must remainfor now a matter of conjecture. Yet thematter has its interesting points.

MIT states that it did not request thepolice presence. In fact, it seems that thepolice were extremely reluctant tocommit themselves to a stakeout at anygiven location in advance of trouble.They had blown it completely Tuesdaynight, having not arrived at Harvar&'sCFIA at all until the demonstrators hadfled, and the police did not wish arepetition. Local pressure on them wouldprobably produce a concentration ofprotection at Harvard Square, whosenaerchan~ts have suffered at theindiscriminate hands of trashing radicalsmany times in the past, and at an angryHarvard [Jniversity itself.

On Friday morning, Political ScienceDepartment Head Eugene Skolnikoffmforrned a meeting of his departmentthat police would -act when violence ordamage to the Hermann building becameimminent. His source of information isunknown. Later in the day, Dean for

UA Notes

Student Affairs J. Daniel Nyhart insistedthat MIT's policy in this crisis would beno different from that in previous crises,apparently meaning that police would notbe requested before an appearance of realdanger.

MIT President Jerome Wiesner metbriefly with Cambridge Mayor BarbaraAckermann early in the afternoon onFriday, and one might assume a causalrelation between this meeting and thearival of the police to protect theHermann Building - that is, one mightbelieve that Wiesner successfully pleadedfor protection.

If true, this would represent adeparture for MIT, which has had thegood fortune in the past to. haveprocrastinated over a decision to summonpolice just long enough that the givencrisis resolved itself. Yet this time around,the Administration would find it mucheasier to decide to bring in police, even inadvance of a merely conceivable radicaloffensive.

First, the Administration would sensethe comparative lack of sympathy amongall its constituencies for a militant actionby radicals, Second, the building whichwould probably be attacked - theHermann building - is far from the maincampus. Third, the building's first twofloors house a library enclosed by larg,expensive windows. And fourth, theadministration could have little doubt, inthe wake of the CFIA ransacking Tuesdaynight, of the intentions of at least someradicals.

But to believe that Wiesner requestedand received police protection is tobelieve that Mayor Ackermann haspower, and this is probably untrue. OnTuesday night, the Cambridge curfew hadbeen declared by City Manager JamesCorcoran, who had neither consultedwith, nor even informed, Ackermann.And the Cambridge police have found itdifficult to break their old habit ofdealing with Al Veliucci (the formerMayor, now a city council member.famous if only for his "Hey Kids!';anti-draug campaign), rather than the newmayor.

Thus, though some have creditedAckermann for the fact that Cambridgepolice prefer tear gas to hand-to-handcombat (it is supposedly a joke amongBoston police, who do things differently,that they need to wear gas masks whenconversing with -their Cambridgecolleagues), and for the starve-them-outstrategy apparently being used at the

occupied Harvard Building, these seem tobe unilateral police decisions. And thedecision to deploy police at the HermannBuilding at 3 pm Friday was probably apolice decision as well. For her part,Ackermann plans to send the bill forpolice overtime to Nixon, with a letterinforming him that his murderous policyin Indochina is responsible, and he shouldpay the cost.

What the MIT Administration did infact do on Friday afternoon was toactivate its well-greased crisis mechanism.They closed the Hermann building at 3pmr. Nyhart decided once again to collectabout him the usual improbable group of"responsible student leaders," which hedid; Weisner "briefed" them. His briefingincluded his assertion that MIT would motcall police if nothing seemed to behappening. He also said that he had noknowledge of any work being done at theLincoln Laboratories that was directlyrelated to "The Automated Battlefield,"the use of technology to conduct airstrikes.

When the demonstration moved toBoston University, Assistant to the Deanfor Student Affairs Jon Hartshorne andAssistant Dean Kenneth Browning wentover to take a look.

The student body's officialdomnreacted nervously to events. Admitting onWednesday that he had no idea vwhat todo, UJAP Curtis Reeves finally decided tohold a referendum, after which, herealized, he would have no idea what todo with the results. The vote, taken onFriday, yielded some 966 votes in favorof a strike (this figure breaks down -to188 for a one-day moratorium, 226 for aone-week strike, and 531 for anopen-ended strike; or, as one -personchose to interpret it, 531 people inacademic difficulties) and 638 votesagainst. The turnout was greater than thatfor a UAP election; but with about 4,000undergraduates, Reeves, who would nothave known what to do, considered onFriday that he had a mandate to donothing.

The meaning of the referendum isuncertain. A spot check on Fridayindicated that classes-- even freshmanhumanities classes - were attended asusual. A TA I know felt that hiss-op hom ores wouldn't have mindedskipping classes, if their professorsencouraged them to do it. Theatmosphere is very different from that ofthe strike of two years ago, after theCambodian incursion, if the initiativerests with the faculty; perhaps thisindicates a growing meekness, or agrowing indifference to the-discouragingpolitical climate, among entering MITclasses.

Nixol's handling of foreign affairsappears to be becoming easier as theworld becomes more Orwellian.Apparently, all he must do is himselfavoid castigating Russia and the Russiantrip will remain on. The Russians canprotest and condemn as they please,while they graciously .receive theAmerican advance party in Moscow, andhave the Poles issue an invitation toNixon to visit their country as well.

The Vietnamese offensive' was madepcossible by Russian weapons, and it doesnot seem inconceivable that, even if onlyin this way, the offensive was timed toimmediately precede the summitconference. Vietnam, then, becomes anarena in which two superpowers bargainwith human lives for status at thesummit, while the third superpower,China, does little other than dispatching amarvelous pair of pandas to the NationalZoo. The Russian unwillingness to cancelthe talks as protest of the Vietnamesebombing is thus understood, as is Nixon'sboldness in pursuing the war, Vietnaml'scivil war having been co-opted to servethe symbolic purposes of thesuperpowers.

Even if the Russian's gifts of weaponryare required by pressures within theso-called "Communist" world, andRussia's fairly warm gestures toward theUS are motivated by fear of China, orpositive desires to work toward strategicarms limitations or detente in Europe,and a reduction in its spending onoffensive weaponry, so that funds couldbe reallocated to improve the domesticstandard-of-living, or more likely to

By Curtis ReevesThe Undergraduate Association

supports a strike.At no poimt during the past days has

the UA' corne up with an officialdefinition of the word "strike." This, wefeel, is an individual matter that can onlybe left up to conscience og the personfacing the strike or not to strike question.The referendum w-as simply worded toavoid, insofar as possible, giving anymeaning to the word other than theindividual's response. Our concern is thatthe will of the majority be expressed. We-make no attempt to put Words in theirmouths.

Friday's referendum was an indicatorof the sentiments of the MIT student, butmuch work remains. The faculty as abody has yet to take a stand-on the fateof the striking student; many havealready dedicated themselves to workingindefinitely on the strike. It is hoped thatthe faculty-- wil soon devote someattention to thise people, and further,the Undergraduate Association urges thatthese students be freed of their academiccommitments for the rest of the term.

A Strike Center has been set up in theEast Lounge of the Student Center.Those interested inl working are urged tocomne in and participate in the ongoingprojects. In view of the growing numberof striking students, some UA funds have-been allocated to the Strike Center.Presently, the number there is dormline9200.

By the way, the reason for thequestion- on the preference forpresidential candidates was to fill space atthe. bottom of the page. McGovern

.captured 837 votes, Nixon 112, andShirley Chisolm was third at i06, slightlymore than she weighs.

And if we can get such a large turnoutfor a UA-sponsored referenrdum, I hopethat we'll be able to find people who arewilling to work on tasks within thegovernment. The May 15 deadline for theconstitutional referendum is Inmpossible,mainly because we have trouble findingpeople who want to help with the work.Unfortunately, I'm unable to do it allmyself, but even if I were, a documentbased solely on my ideas might tend to betoo narrow-based. I've got my own Ideas,but I'd like to hear yours, too. x2696 isthe UA office number, and at home I canbe reached at d! 9-528 or 868-0834.

And that brings up an importantpoint. Granted that the average studentlooks to the UA Executive Committee forsome type of action and leadership, andoften finds none; it Is all too often thatthe Executive Committee looks forpeople to staff important project groupsand looks in vain The StudentCommittee on Educational Policy ispractically begging for people. The newconstitution awaits a constitutionalcommittee. People walk into my officealmost every day asking if I can findsomeone to work on this or that idea, andI don't know where to start looking.Would any student who will be in oraround Cambridge for the summer pleasegive me a call? Evelyn Reiser, theUndergraduate Association secretary(who usually answers the phone) is out'until May 1. Drop in after then and sayhello. The UA office is yours too. Untilthe first, you might try to catch me whenI'm in the office, or call me at hornme.

Stakeout at tfortify the Chinese border - even if anyof this is truer than any pro-summitmanuevering, it nevertheless remains truethat,' short of some disaster acting as acatalyst, Vietnam is unlikely to produce amajor,- open confrontation amongsuperpowers.

Nixon probably has other thoughts aswell Besides a refusal to stand by the· Vietnamization" he claims to expouse,there is, an Administration source toldthe New York Wmes, his desire to"demonstrate his resolve to the Ameinciapeople." In this stance as well as hissummitry, Nixon has chosen, as always.to pay with human life. for a matter ofappearances.

The domestic protest is fairly numb(one imagines that Nixon or his aidespredicted that). There seems no way tostop the juggernaut, and the devastationis far -away, and inflicted at noimmediately visible cost to ourselves.

At MIT, it seems probable that theacademic contribution to the war wascompleted long ago; it seems doubtfulthat anything new or vital, either politicalor military, is being developed (thoughadmittedly something could turn up - noone has looked closely at the labs or theCIS in two years). When asked to explainhow a student strike could be useful,MIT-SDS members invoke the old list ofradical targets, and finally even assert thathalting ROTC here would make adifference. One person, wielding abullhorn at a mass meeting, forgot tomention the bombing when he stated thereasons why he felt a strike was desirable.

It seems that the majority cannot bemotivated by the old list and will not beconvinced that a iefusal to attend classesis a blow to Nixon and the war. Tobelieve that Nixon ~stands in the WhiteHouse Wrging his hands when studentsrefuse to study, is to look despairingly!upon one's education. One must believe ithat one is destined only to prop up thewar machine, to support in some;critically important way a bankruptAmerican society, to believe that astudent strike upsets, or even politically [hurts Nixon. Otherwise, student strike!becomes a symbolic gesture, and Nixonwould respond only if he were rational -enough to see that this soctety,condemned or despaired of by its youth,is diseased, even moribund. Nixon isnot such a person; he is preeminent inhaving shown the ability of the Americangovernment to ignore with impunitysymbolic gestures.

For those who do not believe that.another man as President would save thenation- both because the American .disease is deeper than its govemment, andbecause the "government" has becomecapable of ignoring with ease those withinit .(up to and including a president) andoutside it who dissent,-and who look athistory and are led to reject the theorythat violence cleanses, there is nothing thatcan be done. There is only symbolicprotest, and there are those who will bequick to term it a victory for theadministration if it falters, and to ignoreit if it "succeeds." There is only symbolic-protest, which, like the domestic impactof the war it opposes, has' become itselflargely a matter of appearances.

To the editor:Can anyone hear the cries of the

mental patient, through the thick paddedwalls, as he is administered addictingdrugs, electric shock, lobotomies, leuco-tomies, and treatment against his will?Who heard the cries to call a lawyer, torefuse treatment, to refuse committmentitself? Congress? lawyers? doctors? politi-cms? -- NO! Mental Health Associations,Medical Associations - NO! Who did hearthese cries? Who understood the injustice,the agony, the torment, the degradation,that these people went through? A fewcitizens did, anmd they grew to morecitizens, and soon the cries becamelouder, and more people heard, and thepeople shouted and more people heardthem. It seems lice the front lnes in anywar against injuastfice has as its troops thecitizens. These citizens formed a group,called The Citizens Commission onHuman Rights. The purpose of the groupis to braig reform ha the area of mentalhealth, by seeing that mental patients areguaranteed their fightsaccording to theConstitution, and according to the Larwsof God.

Too long has society made certaingroups the scapegoats of our society,from the "Witch Hunts" in the 1600's topresent time, people were labeled out-casts contaminating society, and underthe guise of "protecting the society" theywere brutalized. The psychiatrist whoplayed a leading role in the developmentof the "gas chambers" murdered 30,000mental patients in Poland alone duringWorld War 1H. This was also done underthe guise of protecting society.

With no definition of insanity, greatpolitical leaders, social reformers, reli-gious reformer, and artists, have beeninvoluntarily comsmitted to mental insti-tutions, because they were out of agree-

ment with mores in society. Possibly theyfelt that freedom was possible for man-kind, possibly they felt that man was aspiritual being, and electric shock, andother brutaities were unethical. Possiblythey felt that man was basically good,which conflicts with Dr. Benjamin Rush,"the father of psychiatry," who felt thatall men were basically insane (except forpsychiatrists).

The common argument for involun-tay conmittment iH mental institutionsis to save the patient from committingsuicide. Yet this argument seems quiteillogical, when statistically we find thatmore Americans died in mental institu-tions between 1965-67, than were killedin the Revolutionary War, The Wax of1812, The Spanish American War, WorldWar I, The Korean War, and in Vietnamcombined! (War deaths 123,396, mentalhealth deaths 126,325, figures available iaany World Almanac), and that psychia-trists have the highest rate of suicide thanany group including mental patients.

As we look back in history, we findthat if a person was labeled a "witch," hecould be tortured and brutalized. We lookat this today, and it seems very hard toeven conceive. This may be the reasonthat our attention never falls on thebrutality today, because they are toohard to believe, or too painful to look at.But today if you are labeled a homo-sexual, drug user, or "insane," you maybe committed against your will to amental hospital, tortured and shockedinto a living vegetable. Someday I hopewe can look back at this and find it hardto believe. But in order for this somedayto occur, we must do something uow.

To the editor:Although I wotuld like to state many

reasons that show the irrationality andillegitimacy of a declared "strike" of anysort, intensive academic concerns preventme from doing so. However, let me makejust three points.

1. A majority of students has notvoted for a strike. A majority ofundergraduates has not voted for a strike.A majority of voters in Friday'sreferendum has voted that if a strike isheld at all, it should not last more thanone day. (Unrefornmable strike-julstifiers,please take note of this fact!).

2. No matter how many people votefor a strike, they have no right to closedown the Institute for others. Whoeverfeels strongly to protest has every right todo so in a non-violent manner, but hemust accept the consequences of hisdecision and has no Tight to interfere withthe business of those who do not agreewith him.

3. What have the protestors to sayabout the recent obvious invasion of theSouth by undeniably North Vietnamesetroops? Can anyone portray these -invaders as beneficent liberators? isn't itpossible.that the South Vietnamese prefernot to be caught in the spider's web ofmonolit hic, thought-controllingCommunism? But then again, some ofour radicals would likce nothing betterthan to have thought control over us.

Don'ald Raila,'71-To the editor:

Alex Makowski's article (4/1l4/723 onphilosophy at MIT is one long series ofconfusions, misunderstandings, andmisrepresentatioras. As an undergraduatemajor in philosophy, I would like to takeissue with his krnow-nothing, reactionaryattack on philosophy at MIT. I find itinteresting that Makowski, who admits tohaving taken only two philosophycourses, not only claims familiarity withthe philosophical literature and theworkings of the philosophy departmenthere, but also thinks himself competentto pass judgement on MIT's philosophersand to condemn their conception of thegoals and nature of philosophy and ofprofessional standards. I hope it is-understood that [ have no position on thetenure decision regarding ProfessorGraves. i don't know the man nor am Ifamiliar with his work or his teaching. Myclaim is that if there are good reasons forkeeping Graves, Makowski has not giventhem. I hope it will also be understoodthat the opinions I express in this letterare my own, and are not to be imputed toany other member of my department,student or faculty.

First, there is a simple factual matterto take care of. Makowski asserts that thephilosophy department is "becomingmore pre-occupied with graduate studentsat the expense of undergraduates." This isan outright lie. If anything, the trend is inthe other direction. In the year that Ihave been associated with Course XXIV,the faculty has shown a great deal ofinterest in the undergraduates, certainlyas much as is shown in any otherdepartment. A good many of the facultyare quite willing and even eager to getfeedback, in the form of complaints,criticisms, or suggestions, from theundergraduates. They have even takenaction on such feedback. There are, it istrue, a special set of problems that comealong with being a philosophy major atMIT. But if they remain unresolved, it isnot because of lack of interest or lack ofeffort on the part of the faculty. Perhapsnext timae Makowski will check the factsbefore making a factual assertion.Otherwise we may forced to concludethat it is not philosophy, but journalism,which bears no relation to any externalbody of empirical-facts.

Makowski uses his article to make awholesale attack on analytic philosophy.He first attempts to give us acharacterization of it. Analyticphilosophy, he says, is concerned withthe structure rather than with the contentof arguments. Now what exactly does thrsmean? Arguments have premisses (sic), anda conclusion whic is supposed to followfrom the premisses. To concern oneselfwith the structure of an argument is totry to see whether the conclusion reallydoes follow fromn the premisses. Toconcern oneself with the content of anargument is to try to see whether thepremisses ae really true. It seems then

that Makowski's claim amounts to this,that analytic philosophers (who axeconcerned with content) don't carewhether their conclusion really follows.Makowski himself, judging from hisreasoning in this article, cares aboutneither of these. Buat I can't imagine anyphilosopher who wouldn't care aboutwhether his conclusion really did followfrom his premisses. And the claim thatanalytic philosophers don't care aboutthe truth of their premisses is completelyabsurd, as anyone who's ever spent fiveminutes in a philosophy class shouldknow. Hence all philosophers, whatevertheir approach to philosophy is, careabout both the content and the structureof their argumen.ts.

Makowski is clearly trying to makesome kind of attack on analyticphilosophy here. It's not clear just whathis criticism is, though. His broadgeneralizations seem to collapse whenlooked at more closely. Perhaps his realcomplaint is that analytic philosophersspend more taime arguing for theirpositions that they do shouting andcursing at each other. But this is a good,rather than a bad feature of analyticphilosophy. It is, of course, possible thatI have misconstrued Makowski. It's alsopossible that he doesn't know what he'stalking about.

Though Makowski is unable tocharacterize analytic philosophy in anyway, he loses no time in speculatingabout its worthlessness or uselessness. Healso talks as if philosophy of sciencecould not be done analytically. In this, heshows only his own ignorance.Philosophy of science has always played,and continues to play a large role in theanalytic school. Indeed, analyticphilosophers can be criticized for doingnot too little, but too much philosophyof science. It is only recently thatanalytic philosophers have realized thatscience is not the only thing whichdeserves philosophical analysis. Now Icertainly can't define 'analyticphilosophy' (just as I can't define'algebra,' 'physics,' or electricalengineering'). Nor can- I even ,give acomplete characterization of it. I can say,though, that analytic philosophers do notbelieve that it is the job of philosophy touse strange, unique, or mysteriousmethods to establish mysterious orunknowable cosmological secrets. Theybelieve that philosophers should, bydoing careful and precise analysis ofassertions made in various contexts,clarify the use and meaning of suchassertions. They deal with such questionsas what presuppositions these assertionshave, and what could count as evidencefor them. An analytic philosopher ofscience attempts, by giving a preciseanalysis of what scientists say and' do, tomake clear the presuppositions,consequences, and methodology whichare involved in the study of science. I failto see how this resembles in any way anintellectually irrelevant game of chess. Italso shows that Makowski is wrong insaying that philosophy appeals to noempirical evidence. Obviously one can'tgive an analysts of any discipline oractivity without looking to see what it isthat practitioners of that discipline oractivity do. I also can't see how suchanalysis could be said to be worthless.Perhaps for those people who don't mindplodding along in a mass of confusion,philosophy is worthless. For those peoplewho like to get clear on various matters,nothing could be worth more.

Makowski attempts also to show howProfessor Graves' approach to philosophydiffers from the analytic approach of therest of the department. It seems toamount to this. Professor Graves likes toteach MIT students. He likies to workwith science and engineering students. Helikes to apply what he's learned from thestudy of philosophy to other disciplines.Pressumably in Makowski's view, analyticphilosophers hate students, will not talkto engineering majors, and do theirutmost to make sure all their ideas areirrelevant. Makowski would almost haveus believe that Graves was fired not onlyin spite of his being a good teacher, butbecause of it. Of course, this is all a lot ofcrap. Being an analytic philosopher isperfectly compatible with working withscience and engneering students. It isperfectly compatible with do'm workand teaching courses which- have real

relevance to MIlT students. John Graves isnot the only philosophy professor whoteaches courses which are taken bynon-philosophy majors. He is not theonly professor who teaches intersting,relevant, and worthwhile material. He isnot the only professor who takes agenuine interest in exposing science andengineering students to "'the excitementand importance of philosophy." I don'tknow why John Graves was deniedtenure, and I don't know whether thatdecision was the right one. But any claimthat Graves was fired because of theinterest he took in MIT students isludicrous.

The bulk of Makowski's articleconsists in an incoherent attack onanalytic philosophy, which he knowsnothing about, and a futile andpoorly-drawn attempt to relate thisattack to the issue of John Graves. IfMakowski had claimed only that Gravesshould be kept because of his exemplaryteaching and community involvement, Imight agree with him. All departmentshave shown an unjustified neglect ofthese factors. Nor do I wish to discouragethose who know and respect Graves frommaking their feelings known. What I doobject to is the attempt to muddle theissue by bringing in unCelated issuesdealing with the nature of philosophicalanalysis. And I object to Makowski'srather antiquated view about the place ofhumanities at MIT. Makowski brings up acriticism made last year by ProfessorEagleson. Eagleson worried that peoplewith a professional interest in philosophy

_might become established at the Institute.Makowski shares this worry, and worriesalso that MIT may lose "the uniquehumanities approach it once enjoyed." Ithink that they're .right in theirexpectations. MIT's philosophydepartment is now a highly competentdepartment of professionals, and MITdefinitely will lose its unique humanitiesapproach. And these are two of the bestthings to happen to MIT in the last fewyears. Basically, MIT's ''uniquehumanities approach" is a pile of shit. itconsists in relegating humanities to lastplace - although students are expected totake some humanities, it is made quiteclear that it is of no importance. But Ithink the day is past when the purpose ofMIT humanities can be the offering ofbullshit gut courses to students whocouldn't give a shit anyway. Thehumanities departments must be able toattract top-notch people who can offergood substantial courses. As one whoexpects to spend the rest of his life in thestudy of philosophy, I resent Makowski'stelling me that I cannot pursue myprofessional education here. I have asmuch right to be here as he does, and asmuch right to get a first-rate technicaleducation as he does. My departmenttherefore has both the right and theresponsibility to build itself up into thebest possible department that it can be.This means that it cannot takesecond-rate people into the faculty. Andthis means that- it must be an analyticalphilosophy department. In the precedingI have been using the term 'analyticphilosophy' as if there were some otherkind. Analytic philosophy is not onebranch ot philosophy among many; it sphilosophy. The difference betweenanalytic philosophy and 'other kinds"' isnot the difference between astronomyand astrology, or between physics andwitchcraft. Now it is true that anybodywho klnows how to open his mouth andspout out some crap risks being called aphilosopher by someone. It hardlyfollows that there should be a place in thephilosophy department for all kinds ofbuflshit. In so far as philosophy is ameaningful and worthwhile discipline it isanaytic. And if this means that there's noplace in the department forexistentialism, phenomenology, ZenBuddhism, or other nonsense, then that'sthe way it should be.

I'm genuinely sorry to have writtensuch a long letter. I did try (obviouslywithout success) to keep it short. Butconsidering the amount of space devotedto Makowski's irresponsible slander, Ithink I should be entifled to as muchspace as it takes to print this letter in itsentirety.

Northeastern surprised everyoneby taking a "flutter," 20 strokesat a 39 beat. This is unusual forany crew, all the more so for afresh eight, and wasinstrumental in gaining an earlylength lead.

The match with South-hampton was the first one eversanctioned by the InternationalFederation of TiddlywinksAssociations as a "world Cham-pionship."

B]y Brad BfifetdeauiMIT's varsity heavyweight

crew almost had the upset of thedecade, Saturday, while racingNortheastern and BU on theCharles.

They were so close that thiswriter could taste the thrill ofdark-horse victory; and coxswainDave Burns '72 could smell theshirts that go to the winner.Leading highly-tauntedNortheastern and muchimproved (according to Eastern sports writers) BU overthe entire 2000 meter long racecourse, a stroking miscue in thefinal twenty strokes crippled theMIT boat allowing the Huskiesto slide past for a 3% lengthvictory.

While Eastern crewauthorities were talking abouthow much faster the Huskiesand Terriers were over last yearand predicting success, CoachPete Holland was quietlybuilding a team at the Pierceboathouse that will change thefortunes of heavyweight crew atthe Institute. Even in defeat, hiscrew demonstrated remarkablesuperiority over Northeastern,an established rowing powers

Charging off the stake boatsat 43 beats per minute; theEngineers took commandimmediately even though bothNU and BU rowed higherstrokes, 44 and 45 respectively.By the 1500m post, MIT stillunderstroking at 34 versus 37and 36, had powered to a seven

At the halfway 1000m mark,the Techmen had what theynever had before in history -open water on Northeastern.The Huskies, whose forte is gutpower, closed the gap at the 500to go mark and were beginningto up their stroke. BU wasanother three lengtht back.

MIT was holding off NU'ssprint nicely at 1700m, as NIUwas already up to 39 with Techway below at 36. With less than30 strokes to go in the race,Tech held a dominating eightseat lead. Then disaster struck, asstroke Jere Lefflger '73 wastrying to quick-jump the beatfor a final sprint. He was struckin the back with an oarhandleand knrocked off his seat.Without a: slide he couldn't rowwith the test of the -boat andguide them, as is iss. job Theboat slowed -- drastically andNortheastern went by. So close.MIT lost by a mere 2.7 seconds.

P;eavyweihtsNortheastern completed a

sweep of the regatta by takingthe frosh and second varsitycontests earlier. The Tech froshalso understroked both theiropponents but took no sprint atthe end because they simplyhaven't learned how to sprintyet. They rowed 32 strokes perminute all the way, against NU'sand BU's 33. BU sprinted at 36at the end but couldn't catch thesecond-place Engineer boat,which was 26 lengths back ofNU.

By Da GanttStranding twelve runners,

committing four costly errorsthat led to four unearned runs,and committing a balk withrunners on second and third inthe fist extra uinning,. MITsucceeded in losing an importantGreater Boston League contestto Harvard last Friday-. Althoughouthitting the Crimson 9-6, Techcould not come up with the bighit in the late innings, did notdent .the plate after the fifthinning, and wound up on theshort end of a 5-3 decision'in teninnings.

iarvard drew frist blood inthe top of the third when, withone out, a high pop up by theCrimson pitcher fell in themiddle of a crowd near themound for a basehit. After astrikeout by Tech pitcher A!Dopfel'72, a wild pitch, a singlMe,and a stolen base put runners on=cond- and third. What wouldhave been the inning-endinggroundball, however, turned untoa two run present for Harvard asMIT's shortshop threw wildly tofirst.

MIT came back in the bottomof the frame to tie things attwo-all. Catcher Rick Charpie'7 3 started the uprising with aloid singlme to left. Steve Reber'74 followed with a single, andCharpie came across on afielder's choice. Anotherbaseknock, this by Dave Tirrell'74, set the stage for KenWeisshaar's (72) sacrifice fly anda tie game.

Two innings later, Reberlaced a one-out single to left,stole second, and rode home onTirrell's second safety, givingMIT a 3-2 lead.

Dopfel pitched well in thefourth, fifth, and sixth, but thelead-offe hitter in the seventh

singled to left and advanced tosecond as the shot was bobbled.A wild pitch moved him tothird, and he raced home withthe tying run on a grounder tosecond. Tech had runners inscoring position in each of thefinal three frames, loading thesacks in the eighth, but couldnot score, forcing an extrainning.

Ha,-ard -son it in the tenthwithout a hit as a walk, twofielder's choices, and a sacrificebunt put men on second andthird with two out. A balk wasthen called on Dopfel, givingHarvard the go-ahead run, and agrounder to third was booted,adding some insurance toHarvard's lead. Tech threatenedin the home half, putting twomen on with none gone, but stillcould not get the bi-g i;t aidyielded 5-3.

More of the same wasevidenced the next day as walksand errors hurt Tech's defense in

dropping an 8-1 decision toF ordham. On Saturday,however, the MIT batsmenmanaged only two baseknockls,one byr Kevin Rowland '74 andone by Ken Weisshaart whichhelped produce Tech's only tallyin the eighth. The one brightspot for kthe Enteeas agansstFordham was the fine relief

pitching of freshman DaveYauch who hurled five inninsof scoreless ball.

Steve Reber '74 races bac tosecond base oa a pickoffattempt during last Friday's

game against Harvard, played onBriggs Field. Rebr was safe, butMIT lost the game, in extrainnings, 5-3. Reber hi a goodday at the plate though, batting2 for 4 and scoring 2 of Tech'sruns.
