The -remainder of the resi- dents will be quartered in a hotel and an apartment house in All- ston that the Institute is leasing for the next year. Residents of the dorm were given the opportunity to indi- cate their preference as to living quarters about a week prior to the lottery, and of those indicat- ing MacGregor as their first choice, 8 members of each class were chosen to live in the new 16-story West Campus Tower. The Housing Office had prevl- ously decreed that exactly 81 seniors,· juniors, sophomores, and freshmen must be admitted, thus while MacGregor has over 300 spaces, only 243 current residents of Burton-Conner were to be allotted space. Because the Housing Office then left the process of selection entirely up to Burton House Committee, the Committee was free to decide on whatever it thought was the most equitable method of distribution and thus settled on the lottery. Eiabotate descriptions of the apartment complex on Linden Street, All- ston, and of the Hamilton House Hotel, including blueprints, were made available to Burton resi- dents weeks prior to the lottery in the hope that many would choose the Allston option as their first choice, thus reducing the number of people to be disappointed in the lottery. This strategy was reasonably sucessful, as under 100 members of each class ultimately elected MacGregor. as their first choice. A bottleneck was created, how- ever, when nearly 150 chose to live in the new apartment on Linden Street, which can hold a maximum of 42 people. This necessitated an additional lot- tery to see which of this group could be assigned to the apart- ments, and how many would be forced into the hotel. Thlus was the distribution question finally rectified. The decision to let House Committee decide the method of assignment resulted in an unexpected by-product. As 200 dormies jammed into Burton's small 420 Lounge awaiting the lottery, Burton President Paul Johnston announced that the drawing was to be done by two lithe and lovely undressed ladies. True to his word, the announce- ment was followed by the appearance of two girls wearing nothing but a smile and a vitally placed towel around their waists. At any rate, at the conclusion of the drawing, the two girls raced from the Lounge to a nearby Ladies' Room, shedding their towels as they went, and causing a visible stir among the remain- ing residents. Four resolutions dealing with disciplinary questions surround- ing recent events at MIT have been passed by the Graduate Student Council and now- are being considered by the CEP. The texts of the resolutions follow. The first calls for a re- examination of the · case of Mike Albert and his recent expulsion; the second urges that changes in disciplinary procedures be ef- fected.

We call upon the President andthe Congress of the United States to0iscontinue the development ofhigh-accuracy MIRVs, and to give thehighest priority to negotiating inter-national agreements which should in-clude a permanent ban on the devel-opnment and deployment of these andother sestabilizing weapons.

The preceding is offered as asense-of-the-meeting resolution.

Francis E.'LowPhilip Morrison

Leo Sartori

December 16, 1969Motion:

It is hereby moved that the Presi-dent appoint a committee to proposealternate means,of supporting univer-sity research in view of the recom-mrendations of the Pounds Commit-tec and in view of the Mansfieldamendment. The committee shouldconlsult with representatives of otherun'versities, with members of thefinancial community, and with gov-ernment officials to see if a self-sus-tainirng independent organization canbe created to assume the support ofuniversity rcscarch. A preliminary re-port should be presented at the nextfaculty meeting.Edward FredkinJerome Y. LettvinJoseph Weizenrbaum

addressed to the second one. Regard-less of whether conversion, divesti-ture, or still some other course is bestfor the special laboratories, we havean obligation to speak out publicly ifwe believe that certain weapon de-velopments in which we are pastir.-pating may be detrimental to the bestinterests of our country. We do nothave the option of remaining silent.Our past and present involvement inweapons development makes silenceappear as tacit approval We there-fore move. the following resolution.

The faculty of MIT affirms itsbelief that the survival of our nationand of the entire world are gravelythreatened by the continued expan-sion of the strategic arms race; thatthe security of the' United States isnot automatically increased by theconstruction of every weapon that istechnically feasible; that on the con-trary some weapons, by destabilizingthe strategic balance, can increase thechance of nuclear war and therebydiminish the security of all.

We are troubled by the imminentdeployment of new weapons. bothoffensive and defensive, which arenot necessary to ensure our nation'sdeterrent capability. Particularly dis-turbing is the development of mul-tiply targeted missile warheads ofsuch high accuracy that they threatenthe destruction of a potential adver-sary's missiles. Such a weapon doesnot enhance our own deterrent, butfives the appearance of striving for a

search objectives of the Institute;that this committee consider suchitems as size, location, sources ofprojects and of funding, proportionsof professional staff, faculty and stu-dents, the degree to which controllies with faculty or professional staff,etc.

Seconded by Thomas B. IKingIn the discussions concerning the

future of the special laboratories, twoprincipal issues are involved. One, aninternal MIT problem' concerns therole of the laboratories in the litfe ofthe Institute. The second issue hasmuch wider scope: it concerns theimplications of certain types of mili-tary research and developnment forthe arms race and, ultimately, thesurvival of mankind. Both issues areof vital importance: our resolutlion is

When you consider asavings account running wellinto 5 figures as the alltcrna-tive to life insurance, altilostany kind of life insurance isa bargain.

However,. when you getdown to clo,,e comparisons.some life insurance is a big-ger bargain than others. Wellup on the list of bargains isSAVINGS BANK LIFE IN-SURANCE, for a carefulexamination will show youthat SBLI is America's low-est cost life insurance for allOrdinary Life, Endowment,and Renewable Term.

For example, under theSBLI 5 year Renewable TermPlan, a man of 40 cal lbuy$25,000 in Savings BankLife Insurance for less than$100 a year* (at age 25, thecost is less -than $75 ayear*.)

Well over 100 peopleentered the offices at some time;radical'leaders pointed out thatit seemed odd MIT could onlyidentify members of their organ--izations.

With this issue Volume 90 of The Tech -islaunched. We hope our past readers will continueto use us as their source for news, and that ournew readers will look to us for information.in thefuture. As we follow the events of-the comingterm we hope you will be as coficerned with us aswe are with you. God Bless America.

With the prospect of a new term 2H.e Techwould like to speculate on the events of thecoming four months.

Many of the issues which have concerned us allmust be decided. The question of what to do withthe Laboratories will be discussed in an open --anyone may participate - meeting of the facultytommorrow. Proposals for conversion and propo-sals for spinning off the Labs will be considered.Voting on these proposals will take place at ameeting in March. President Johnson asked for andreceived a May deadline for ·following the recom-mendations of the Pounds Panel. A decision on theLabs will be made this spring, of this we feelcertain.

The related questions of what to do with MIRVand the other war related research projects is aquestion which has warranted a student referen-dum, faculty petitions, and a multitude of expres-sed opinions. This is obviouly related.to the totalquestion of the Labs, yet this issue might wellneed resolution before May.

We face a Spring characterized by-continuedconfrontations between the administration and theradicals who are demanding change, visible change.An acceptable, equitable judicial process must befound as must the "basis of commnon law" whichhas been searched for in vain by the administra-tion. Without some agreement in the Institute

M act M-MOAS.·4 athere while he was speaking.Upon seeing us, Wulff becamevery agitated and asked what wewere- doirng. One of us said thatwe would like to talk about theimportance and justification ofthe events taking-place at MIT.Wulff run over and began push-ing one of us,: we aksed that theclass rather: than Wulff decidewhether we should speak! Hesaid, "No, no, it's my class.Youcan't speak. Help me class." Twostudents got up probably to helpWulff. We immediately said thatwe were leaving and one of uswith Wulff's permission announ-ced the noon mass meeting inKresge auditorium.

We then went to Prof. Bran-some's class and waited until hehad stopped writing and' askedwhat we wanted before we askedto talk to the clams. He startedyelling "No" and tried to provehis masculinity-by growling andtrying to physicaly throw usout. He would not let the classdecide, but the two of us notwanting to provoke a fight left.Outside the classroom, Bran-some, typifying what is wrongabout male, white, America andsaid, "Georgie Boy, (substituteBLACK, VIETNAMESE, girlfor Georgie Boy) if I ever seeyou again, I am going to beat theliving daylights out of you."

We attempted to enter theclassrooms to announce the 12noon meeting and if permitted,to talk about the events at MIT.We feel that students at MIT can-not be spectators _in a countrythat is committing genocide a-gainst Blacks and Vietnamese,and relegating oppressive andunfulfilling jobs to the people.The unbelievable response ofBransome and Wulff was predict-able. The authoritarian relation-ship in the classroom; theteachers deciding. who. shouldspeak, the grades, the material(ie, the student having nopower), mirrors the situation inthe world where the worker hasno control over what he pro-duces, for whom it is produced,and how it is ,prOduced. Theresponse of the administrationto our threatening the absoluteauthority of the teacher is thesame as the response of thegovernment to anything theyconsider a threat to theirpower.' .IT IS REPRESSION!

We must break down authori-tarian relationships in our soci-ety. Our attempts at this are thereason why MIT is trying to sendus to jail. Unless each of as seesfit to act for the breakdown ofillegitimate power and authorityin our society, then oppressionwill continue to be perpetratedby those in power. The peoplemust seize the.time-the timeis now. Brothers and sisters:unite and fight!

Power to the people!- . . . George Katsiaficas

Peter G. Bohmer

To the people:Once again, the MIT adminis-

tration seeems to have succeededin deluding members of thiscommunity (if it-exists). The liesperpetrated by Howard Johnsonet. al.'during the course of thelast semester reached a highpoint during tihe recent takeover

'of his office. We are writing this2letter in an attempt to set therecord straight.

Before describing the eventsof January 16, we would like tocomment on the administra-tion's attempts to manipulatestudents, workers, and faculty.and isolate them' from those ofus with beliefs and interests dia-metrically opposed to those ofthe MIT Corporation.

During the November Ac-tions, for example, HowardJohnson and the rest of the

-lackeys tried to scare the com-munity into believing that stu-dents, classrooms, and laborator.ies, would be indiscriminentlyattacked. Our aim, as we ,statedtime and again, was to demon-strate support for the NLF,'andattack imperialist research atMIT, not any MIT. facility, asJohnson indicated, but specificimperialist targets, such as MTI,VTOL, and CAM.

Further examples of adminis-tration duplicity and lies can befound in their espousing demo-cracy and academic freedom, onthe one hand, and ignoring 70%oof the- student body voting toimmediately break MIRV con-tracts and denying the radicalcourse, on the other.

To enunciate but a few moreof the many incidents, in whichthe administration has dramati-cJly exposed itself, we shoulddiscuss the nature of"non-nego-tiable" demands, as the adminis-tration labelled our demands infaculty meetings and 'press re-leases. If our demands werenon-negotiable, then why didsome of us try to negotiate withthe administration long beforethe takeover?. (See The Tech,January 16, p. 5) It's true thatthe administration would -notnegotiate with us, and in thatsense, our demands.were non-negotiable. The only nonmnego-tiable entity here is the adminis-tration's power to build MIRV,throw students out of school forswearing, .or do any'tling elsethey please,' like jail us...What happened on January

16 between IT and 12 noon?What heinous crime did we com-mit so that MIT is trying to putthe' two 'df us in prison for fourmonths each?' Rumor- has' itthat we disrupted classes, pushedand beat older professors andhad 10- hcdligans" outside the

..classroom- threatening to kill a68 year old professor. What' infact happened was the follow-ing: First, we walkied into Pro;fessor-Wulff s lecture aind stood

University Professors.(3) These procedures are alsoin accord with those suggest-ed by the American Civil Lib-erties Union.:. Copies of these procedures

were sent to all faculty memberson May -20, 1969. At that timethe Committee heard no adversecriticism from anyone. The con-tent of the letter sent by theeight faculty members is under-standable in that they may nothave been aware of just what theCommittee procedures are. Ihave approached several of theseletter signers and found that thiswas indeed the case.

In addition, the Cominmitteerecommended to the facultythat four student members bemade permranent members of theCommittee.

There remain two issueswhich might very well be con-sidered by faculty and studentsand which have been broughtout either in the letter or invarious other statements appear-ing in the student publications.

(1) To what extent shouldpolitical motivation beassayed in determiningdisciplinary action. In myview the Committee shouldnot take the political positionof a studnet into account;However, I believe it mayvery well temper the degreeof .pUnishment if it finds thatthe student's motivation wasbased not on personal gainbut on some sense of ideal-ism. This 'particular temper-ance was mentioned in theCommittee statement on thedisruption of the AlumniSeminar in September.(2) Both faculty and studentsmight discuss the degree ofdisruption, violence% andgeneral rowdiness which theyconsider acceptable in theUniversity environment andin its formal procedures.Honest men may differ on

Techthis point, but implicit-in thedecisions of thre-DisciplineCommittee is the value judge-ment that the incidents onwhich disciplinary action wastaken went beyond accept-Wble norms. L.S. Osbomne

NASA Decision(Editor's note: This letter firstappeared in the Boston HeraldTraveler, and is reprinted withtheir permission.),To the Editor:

Cambridge, Greater Bostonand all of New England aredesperately disappointed at thedecision of the federal govern-ment to move the great newNASA center away from Carm-bridge on the doorstep of MIT.

Yet what person in his rightmind would want the saety of,his country's most sophisticated,secret -and critically important-defense activity to be located inwhat has become a focus :ofrevolutionary and seditious ac-tivity, MIT. Would you wantNoam Chomsky, the idol ofmany MIT students, whom Ipersonally heard openly refer -toAmericans in Vietnam as "inva-ders", to be closely associatedWith and respected by the centerentrusted with your country'sdefense? t

It is commonly suggestedthat NASA is being closed downin political retribution for theDemocratic failings of Massachu-setts in general. This is the typi-cal reaction of down-at-the-heelward politicians who have been.in control of Massachusetts forso long. The Nixon administra-tion is not of this cut. I suggestthat- it is merely a matter ofnational survival that NASA beremoved from. the influence ofan institutionwhich cannot evenfind the guts to throw a bunchof overt revolutionaries- out ofthe president's office, but polite-ly waits for' them '.to leave..oftheir own free will.

T-hne-LetterDiscipline Disagreement

To the editor:This letter addresses itself

specifically to a letter appearingin the January 16, 1970 issue ofThe Tech and signed by eightfaculty members, but it is also to

-rectify misinformation whichexists with respect to the pro-cedures and actions of the MITDiscipline Committee.

One aspect of the letter con-cerned the desire to review thepractices of the Discipline Com-mittee, its -procedures, itsmethod of constitution, its com-position, and its interpretationof what acts constitute the basisfor disciplinary action. The im-portance of the actions of a

'Discipinary Committee, as wehave seen, make it advisable asstated in the letter that. itspractices be constantly reviewed.

The Committee, in fact, an-ticipated that cases might comebefore it that involved dis-ruption or violence motivated bythe protests which have becomefamiliar on other campuses. In-deed, the . "traditional" ' pro-cedures under shich the Com-mittee operated in the past werenot manifestly fair and above allreproach. A review of pro-cedures was undertaken in theSpring of 1969; The proceduresthat were recommended to thefaculty were based on the Com-mittee's review of varioussuggestions.

However, in equal (but notgreater) measure, it is a precisepsychological drama, whose so-phistication is belied by anysimple description of the events.Paralleling the Indian lovers are apair of whites: the local sheriff,who resembles Willie in manyways and admires him verymuch; and an Eastern-bred(B.

We seek true engineers,..

.. engineers who get their kicks from putting electronic thingstogether to make them work, engineers who are intrigued with theproblem of finding the best combination of available components toachieve thile ultimate in reliability and performance.

A Craftsman's love goes into even the most sophisticated circuit design,at Teradyne. I or l'eradyne engineers build their own breadboards, graba scope and test their )own' manufacturing prototypes, modify themwith a soldering iron, not often w ith a pencil. But they are notcraftsmen alone. They intuitively know when they have to resort to aLaplace transform, and they can appreciate the unity betweenMax\well's equations and a high-speed switching circuit.

Some are born tinkerers: most work with no supervision, only withguidance from somebody who works with them to prevent overlap andto seek serendipities.

TTeradyne designs aind manufactures both computer-operated andmanual systems for production-line test and incoming inspection ofresistors. capacitors, and semiconductors - from zener diodes to 1. C.48-bit shift registers, and bigger. In just nine years, the company hasgrown to 600 people at the rate of no less than 50% every year. Theengineers of whom we speak have made many innovations: the ten-yearguarantee, the dlimination of adjustments and calibration, the creationof our own software. We have thereby established internationaltechnological leadership thus assuring Teradyne's rapid expansion intoworld-wide markets.

and Nestor is the epitome of awar hero twenty years past hisprime and still living in the gloryof "old days."

The plot careens along with agood deal of bawdiness andsome real belly laughs. However,the profanity fails to lead toprofundity. A pure burlesquemight have been perfectlyacceptable, but the author doesnot make it clear that he isattempting to ply us with deepermeaning. The attempt is so weakthat it fails and considerablyweakens the script.

The characterizations were inmost cases extremely satisfying.Scott Miller brought out, theimbecile in Ajax to a degreegreat enough to amuse one andall. The romantic involvement ofOdysseus and Thetis was sensi-tively handled by John Fogleand Penelope Hull. Ron Wise-man and Karen Hawkesworthwere amusing as Nestor andDidamia. Christopher Josephssimpers effectively as Achilles.

The disturbing aspect of theassortment of characters we arepresented with is that there arenone thit I, at least, could ad-mire very much.

Set during'the earliest phase of the TrojanWar, it brings a new dimensionin language .to those fabled timesin Greek history. Neither themelody' of Homeric hexameternor the structured poetry oflater tragedy presents itself whenthe curtain rises-rather, we areconfronted with Greek mytholo-gy presented in locker-roomEnglish. The effects of this dras-tic contrast in language are quiteprofound. The heroes appear agood deal less heroic and webegin to recognize them as someof the more prosaic characters inour lives..

Thetis, Queen of Thessaly,having decided that she does notwant her son Achilles to be sentoff to war, brings him to Skyros,a small island kingdom in theWestern Aegean. Here, he. is hid-den dressed as a princess in thepalace of Lykomedes, the kingof the island. Nestor, Ajax andOdysseus have been dispatchedto search for Achilles and bringhim back to Aulis so Achillesand his three hundred ships canbe off to war. Of the three, onlyOdysseus appears as a culturedand refined gentleman. Ajax, re-mninds one of an army sergeant,

Tennessee Williams' playSeven Descents to Myrtle closedvery quickly on Broadway.Director Sidney Lumet wouldhave been wiser to have let itrest in peace instead of at-temnpting resurrection under thetitle The Last of the MobileHotshots. Even Gore Vidal'sefforts with the screenplay arenot enough to stave off an over-whelming boredom.

The work is a vision of deca-dence and death. On an oldSouthern plantation, the man-sion, said to have been grand in1840, is by now a crumbling,decrepit structure. Jeb, the own-er, has no heir. Dying of emphy-

sema, he continues to chainsmoke right to the end, despiteseizures of coughing and short-ness of breath. His black half-brother, Chicken, warns of floodwaters coming their way, and,sure enough, the flood arrives.Like Noah's ark, the roof of themansion saves Chicken andMyrtle (Jeb's bride), and severalanimals.

I like the way the black mancomes across. He is strong, po-tent, clever, and he wins bothMyrtle and the inheritance ofthe plantation. It's a pity thatthis winning black portrait isburied in the context of a highly,exaggerated, contrived and irrel-evant story.

(Continued from page 5)accompaniedl by light shows, al-though his Poem of Ecstasy istepid (to be kind) in fulfillingthe orgasmic promise of its title.Liszt turned out a Death-Dance,Rachmaninoff an Isle of theDead, Geminiani an EnchantedForest way back.

But these are obvious cases. Ifyou go through the Schwanncatalog, you can come up withquite a few freaky titles topieces of music that- are oftenlittle better than lousy. A freakytitle does not a freaky piece ofmusic make.

However, we are ignoringmusic that, in emotion or inspirit, rather than merely inname or "programn," turns out tobe freaky. In fact, a great deal ofclassical music evokes moodsthat are unusual, grotesque,weird, or downright bizarre.Some is mystical. And even themost moving, profound of musicsometimes, in strange ways,verges on freakiness.Head freak

If music is the highest formof artistic expression, and art thenoblest human endeavor, thenBeethoven is the greatest humanbeing this earth has seen thusfar. He is the greatest freak aswell.

From the Scherzo of theSeventh (tile walk through thecatacombs), to the entrance ofthe tenor in (O Heresy!) theNiilnthl (sounding like a syncho-pated interior decorator, backedby tain-tam and garbige-cancovers, as he sings of universalbrotherhood), to his last compo-sition, the Six tee>nth StrinlgQuartet, whose final movementwas inspired by the tone andinflection of his landlady's voice,demanding the rent, Beethovenwrote grotesqueries. puft-ons,and produced some of the freak-lest. in the sense of mnacabreand/or sardonic, moods everheard.

The Eig/hth Sirnlphonyl is pos-sibly the freaky Beetlhoven at his

most obvious: the bassoon isunable to do more than croakout octaves, the Scherzo's tick-tick-tick rhythm is a hack on thenewly invented metronome, thesymphony refuses to conclude,going through five or six falseendings, a misplaced coda, andfinally stopping at a beat whichis not entirely satisfying.

But this is the way Beethovencomposed in general, carryingtheme inversions, key changes,and false finishes to an extenit sofar above ordinary playing-with-thematic-material that his piecesare practical jokes on the per--formers and the audience.

And yet, these hacks are,paradoxically and simultaneous-v, the most profound, tran-

scendental statements ever madeby man. The later in Beethoven'swork one looks, the more ob-vious it becomes that this great-est of artists wrote cosminic jokes,tried in his Inusic to evoke thegreatest, deepest, most movingemotions in his listeners, andthen punt them.

For those who doubt, con-sider this reminiscence by CarlCzerny in Cock's ,iLondonMllusical lMiscellanyv of August 2,1852, describing the piano tech-nique of Beethoven at a mnere 26years old: "Hlis improvisationwas mniost brilliant and striking.In whatever company hle miglhtchance to be, he knew how toproduce such an effect uponevery hearer that frequently notan eye remained dry, whilemany would break out into loudsobs; for there was so1meCthinglwonderful in his expression inaddition to the beauty and origi-nality of his ideas and his spirit-ed style of rendering them. Afterending an improvisation of thiskind hle would burst into loudlaughter and banter his hearerson the emotion he had caused inthem. 'You are fools!' he wouldsay.

Live/DeadIt may be freaky in some

sense to arouse deep metaphysi-cal and emotional states andthen hack them, but, to say theleast, Beethoven and Grace Slickare not freaky in tfie same way.

Any analogies drawn in tryingto compare freaky rock andfreaky classical are necessarilyloose, especially since so muchrock is more mind-flatteningthan mind-bending. Rockmusicians do it mainly by batter-ing the chemically altered headinto submission via sheer vol-ume, screams, and reverberation(i.e. by sensory overload); verylittle research goes into discover-ing-what varieties of sound otherthan "loud" and "electronic"are freaky. Rock may have dis-covered a few freaky noises, buthas yet to come up with a freakymelody line, for instance, withthe possible exception of Frank(Those Kids Wouldn't KnowMusic If It Bit Them In The Ass)Zappa.

And it is on these grounds offreaky mn usicianship versusfreaky noise that, even if Bee-thoven's perverse sense of humoris far from the current vogue infreakiness, sonmething like Solti'sreading of Bartok's Music ./orStrings, Percussionl, ald Celestashould have it, in subtle frcaki-ness although certainly not indecibels, over Pink Floyd, Air-planc, et al, for anyone with halfan car. And for grosser effects,Berg's iftozzeck, a paranoidopera, ravishes the listener...

... whichl brings us back tothe (;rateful D)ead, and, in par-ticular, l.irelDead (Reprise),their new albuLm (finally. a re-cord review). cThere is no mindflattening by way of sound level.E-ven "Feedback" on side four issubdued.

Yet the album is really exccl-lent. Tihe two records containseven cuts, all almost entirelyinstrumental, which is fineseeing that none of themll cansing well. At first, they soundlike pleasant enough free iln-provisations- rambling, ever soslightly disjointed, rarely what arock listener would call loud.Certainly not freaky in the senseof Pink Floyd.

With a bit of time. they meta-morphose into subtle experi-ments in freakiness, with feed-back and reverb gently intrudinginto the listener's consciousness.

Surviving the Acid .'lest hasimproved the Dead's music (al-though their chromosomes haveyet to be heard fronm). Thenumbing tendancy of the acidrock of the past might be lessen-ing as freakiness moves, albeitwith the swiftness of a glacier,towards the sophistication ofBeethoven, and the composi-tions of what he himself termedhis "Unbuttoned Period."

By Bruce Schwartz... they decided to hold up

Back LP sothey could put out a collectionof uncollected singles first. see.but apparently someone 'gothold of some tapes of the re-cording sessions and broughtthem over and did an under-ground pressing, which resultedin an injunction on sales of thiewhite album with "Kumi Back"stamped on the side, so throughdevious means I paid $7 for theprivilege of obtaining a contra-band Beatles record.

It's good. Also, unlike theGreat White Wonder, this under-ground job has good sound qua-lity, aside from a little hiss. Asfor the so-gs, there are no sur-prises, just more of the goodmusic the Beatles have beenturning out since Revolver.

Besides two tracks of "GetBack" and-one of "Don't Let MeDown," the LP contains eightnew songs. Two probably won'tbe there when the album isofficially released; they seem tobe abortions from the Lennon-McCartney creative genesis. Theother six, though, deserve com-ment. Any of them could havebeen on Abbey Road, andthey're probably the leftovers.

Arbitrary side one (no labels)begins with "Don't Let MeDown," but it's not the versionyou heard on the single. Insteadof John's raunchy blurch there'sJohn and Paul harmonizing-disconcerting on such a tune atfirst, but you get used to it.

By Daniel DernWhen an event takes place,

and after it is over and donewith. the imnportant essence alltoo seldom remains. That isKichard Leacock's goal: to notonly watcfi something happenbut to capture it and record it asit is for the future.

The documentary film properis made without tampering withevents in motion: early in hiscareer Richard Leacock set upthe rules for his game of ob-serving life. Never ask questions.Never have something done over.Remain in the background. lieand - whatever other cameracrews working with him look atevents fromn their many angleswithout getting in them, andafter the fact put together theessential elements from themany feet of film they shot.

One example of Leacock'swork is The C'hair, ah account oflawyers Donald Page Moore andLouis Nizer in. their desperateefforts to save convictedl murder-er Paul Crump from the city ofChicago's electric chair. Thecamera follows the lawyers, theprison warden, the convicted,the governor granting the par-don, and all the little piecesstarting from the situation to theresolution. Even so, there is nosense of-intrusion, no sign thatthe' participants know they areon film.

Yet, at the same-time youknow that you are watching reallife. There is noG acting, nosmooth polish where everythingfits exactly together. The filmconveys reality rather than re-alism; little things creep in thatyou know would not be any-where except in reality. Anyattempt to make a Leacock filmfrom a script would be likefilming or dramatizing a Heming--way creation. You can't fake theunderlying reality.

That is where Richard Lea-cock has succeeded. He hastaken the world and put it onfile. In his over two ..hundreddocumentaries he has developeda method and a style which iskeeping the present from beinglost to posterity.

Admittedly, the state of theart in film-making has advancedfrom the primitive machinerywith which Leacock began his

work. He started out with a largecamera incapable of recordingsound and was limited to mostlyshowing processes-this is how.this is done, here we do this, andso forth. But when the gift ofsynchronized sound appeared,he was at first swamped with thenecessary equipment, whichoverwhelmed any subject he

-wanted to cover.Finally, after much experi-

menting a-nd many failures, heemerged with a .relatively smallnand portable synch sound mloviecamera and reorder which per-mlitted pairs of cameracnih to bea complete unity independent oflights; cables. and any other ex-traneous equipment. This de-,velopnient allowed his crews fortile first tinme to really get inunobtrusively

anJc:I!verybody had a hard yearlEverybody had a good time!-verybody had a wvet dreamEverybody smokin' sunshineOh yeahThat's followed by the obliga-

tory -. cC'artney lovesong, "TIheLong, Winding Koad," a slowdream about "getting back" tothe one you love. People whogrooved on "I Want You" willappreciate the hard blues of "AllI Want Is You," replete withLennon's pseudo-backwoods ac-cent. The side finishes with acrude, poorly coordinated ver-sion of "Get Back," a disap-pointment.

The version of "Get Back"which leads off the second sideis almost the single version, butnot quite. This mnight be a tapefrom the original recording ses-sion, before the engineers po-lished it up. This side also in-cludes "Teddy Boy," a whimsi-cal ballad about the devotion ofa boy for his mum,- and viceversa, "On Our Way Home."

You and I have memoriesLonger than the roadThat stretches before usMy favorite song, though, and

the one I feel destined to be thebiggest "hit," is "Let It Be."McCartney's choirboy voice isespecially appropriate to this spi-ritual whose message is "Take itasy, be at Peace, let it be."

When l'find myselfIn times of troubleMother Mary comes to meSpeaking words of wisdomLet it be.Let it beThe album is not a polished,

finished performance. The Phil-harmoriia Orchestra hasn't beenrecorded in yet, for example.But that's a kind of virtue, sinceit offers about the best approxi-

.mation to a live performancethat we are ever likely to hearfrom the Beatles. Careful listen-ing will also give some insightsinto the process by which theBeatles' tunes are composed.Half the lyrics on "Teddy Boy,"for example, are things like "dodo do do dum dee dee deedoo ... ;" you can tell that Johnand Paul are still putting thewords together.

When the final, official ver-sion of Get Back is released, it'llbe worth buying. But if you justcan't wait, well . . . try Head-quarters East, but if the Manasks, I know nothing.

(Coontinued front page 1)ing, vandalism. and threats ofphysical violence against mem:bers of the MIT community areinconsistent with the acceptednorms of behavior of the aca-demiic community,

The Graduate Student Coun-cil condemns the following actsperformed at MIT by members

and' non-members of the MITcommunity during the week ofJanuary I through 17, 1970:

1) The delivery of an' ulti-matum to the MIT administra-tton;

2) the hurling of a pipethrough a window of the houseof President Howard Johnson;

3) the breaking down of the

door to the presidents' office(with a battering ram);

4) the malicious and wantondestruction of property withinthe offices of Corporation inBuilding 3, including damage totelephones and telephone wiring,to a steel safe, to the desks, tofiling cabinets, to doors andwoodwork, to portraits, to furn-iture, to walls, to rugs, and toseveral antiques.

5) the disruption- of twoclasses by students who in eachcase threatened the professor in-volved.

6) theft and conversion ofdocuments taken from files;V. (l)Whereas ' the breakingand entering into the Office ofthe President, and the maliciousdestruction of property withinthe Offices of the Corporation isoutside the bounds of acceptabledissent in the MIT community:and

(2)Whereas there exists a ser-ious doubt in the minds of manystudents whether or not the Fac-ulty ommnittee on Discipline iscapable of fairly hearing casesinvolving political activism,

(3)Whereas a significant mem-ber of the participants in. theabove actions were not membersof the MIT comlmunity; and

The Graduate Student Coun-cil regrets the use of court actionagainst students but confirmsthat civil action against all ident-ifiable participants, in the aboveaction-both students and non-students-is the proper courseof action for the Institute.

RADCALS HIT BU NUBy Bruce Schwartz

Unrest at two local universi-ties, Northeastern and BU, crop-ped up in the Boston news whileyou were away.

At Northeastern, 2000 peopleshowed up to greet S.I. Hays -

kawa, controversial president ofSan Francisco State College. TheWeatherman Faction swore to"get" Hayakawa; security wastight with several hundred copson hand. A few incidents, suchas a protestor grabbing a cop'shat, set things off. The BostonTactical Squad rioted, accordingto observers who witnessed andunderwent beatings as the TPFcharged repeatedly. Thirty-onepeople were arrested.

At BU, the administration fi-red Government Professor EdgarBottome after his departmenthad authorized tenure. Also, in-vestigation was threatening Prof-essors Howard Zinn and OwenFleishmann over their parts inthe occupation of the BU admin-istration building last Decemberto push a demand for getting GErecruiters off campus. These mo-ves resulted in BU's StudentUnion, the student governmelntthere, voting 11-1 to promote astrike of classes on February 23and 24th to damand the rehiir-ing of Bottome and an end toharassment of the other men.

We're in the communications business.

And during the next 3Q years we're going to upgrade all the equip-

ment we now have in order to provide- even better service to our 6 million

existing customers.

As if that weren't enough we're also going-to have to-come up withi

enough new equipment to provide telephone service to abbut 26 million

more people. As well as equipment for a much more extensive data com-

munications program.

We need enough people (electrical, civil, mechanical and industrial

engineers, designers, accountants and economists) to plan, design, build

and operate a company that will be four times bigger than we are today.

We also need engineers, researchers and scientists to develop electronic

switching equipment, laser and other communications systems we'll beusing 10, 25 and 50 years from now -

But this is only one part of our communications business.Our Sylvania people, for example, are involved in other types of

communications.- Like color television sets, satellite tracking stationsand educational television systems.

Automatic Electric, Lenkurt, Ultronic Systems and some of our othercompanies, subsidiaries and divisions are working. on advanced types ofintegrated circuitry, electro-opticals -and, communications- systems be-tween people and computers-and between computers n a nd computers.

So if you, think.you have sorqeting to-say about tel'Tway people talkto each other . we're ready to listenrs- -

This past week, the varsityhockey team competed in theirown MIT Invitational Tourna-

The -opening round saw theTech squad draw Wesleyan, ateam they had beaten earlier thisseason. In a closely fought con-test the Engineers pulled out a4-3 victory. The first period sawthe Tech skaters jump out into aquick lead on goals by Bill Bar-ber '71 and Bill Stensrud '71with Wesleyan scoring one.From the second period on, thehard skating and close checkingmade it obvious that goals wouldbe hard to come by. But by theend of the second period Wesley-an had put in two and waspushing for more. The gamewould have been out of range atthis point had it not been for thefine goaltending' by Ken Lord'71 and excellent defense byRich Pinnock '70 and Gary Gibi-

The second game found thevisiting team to be a fast skatingTrinity team that- had beaten theTech skaters earlier this year.They took an early lead whichthey never did relinquish andwent on to a 5^1 victory. BillBarber scored the lone goal.

The final game was againsttournament winner Holy Cross.The Engineers did a good job ofholding the score at 2-0 for mostof- the game but a costly 5minute penalty enabled HolyCross to put in two more goalsfor the first shutout against MITall year, 4-0.
