MIT . officials Wednesdaybcegan'. looking into- charge -thatthe Institute had been involvedin the transmission of sensitivemilitary intelligence files over anexperimental computer network.

The charges, raised by a TheTech reporter in discussionsTuesday with MIT administra-tors, stem from reports- thatAr.my intelligence files were

-transmitted to Lincoln Labora-tories via the ARPANET, acomputer network connectingmore than 50 government agen-cies and universities throughoutthe country. The network isfunded by the Department ofDefense Advanced Research Pro-jects Agency (ARPA).

The files, according to reli-able sources, were stored at theUS Army Intelligence CommandHeadquarters at Fort Holabird,Maryland, and contained infor-mation yielded by large scalesurveillance programs under-taken by the army during theJohnson and Nixon administra-tions.

Although Defense Depart-ment officials testified in 1971that the program had beenterminated and its records de-stroyed, informed sources -including former military intelli-gence officers - have told TheTech that many of the files wereretained. The information,according to intelligence sources,was transferred and stored at theheadquarters of the NationalSecurity Agency (NSA), at FortMeade, Maryland.

The Army files were trans-mitted on the ARPANET inabout January 1972, sourcessay, more than two years afterthe material - and the databanks maintained at the FortHolabird facility - were ordereddestroyed.

Provost Walter A. Rosenblithsaid Wednesday he will pursuethe reports of Lincoln Labsinvolvement, although he said hehad "not the slightest know-ledge" of any military intelli-gence information being trans-mitted on the ARPA network or

Comments on privacy actCongress passed the Privacy

Act of 1974, Ervin said, tosafeguard against infringementson privacy by government agenc-ies.

The Privacy Act requiresgovernment agencies that main-tain data bases on individuals tonote the existence in the FederalRegister and to allow individualsto review their files and correctinaccuracies. Explicitly ex-empted from this requirementare the FBI and the CIA.

The Office of Managementand the Budget (OMB) monitorsagencies' compliance with theact. Ervin said he would havepreferred to have a permanentfederal commission on privacyto monitor the agencies. :

Commission (MDC) is negotiatingwith an area consulting firm to-study possible renovations of theintersection of MassachusettsAvenue and Memorial Drive nearthe main MIT entrance.

The MDC is in "final stages"of negotiations with GreinerEngineering Sciences, Inc., aNewton consulting firm, for acontract to study "possible re-pairs at the approaches at bothends of the Harvard Bridge" tomake those areas safer for dri-vers and pedestrians using thebridge, an MDC official told TheTech.

half lecture.Following the lecture, Ervin

answered questions posed bymembers of the audience.

Responding to a question,Ervin reasserted his oppositionto the proposed Equal RightsAmendment. "I voted against itbecause I think it's totally un-necessary," he said.

This reply drew heavy criti-cism from some members of theaudience, particularly women.

When asked whether formerPresident Nixon was a "sleaze,"Ervin replied, "I think PresidentNixon had more erroneous ideason power than any other manwho ever inhabited the WhiteHouse."

President Ford should nothave pardoned Nixon, Ervinsaid, attacking two argum.entsFord used to justify his pardon.

One argument was that Nixoncould not get a fair trial. Thatshould have been decided by thecourts, Ervin stated. Anotherwas that Nixon had sufferedenough, to which Ervin said:"Ford should have waited until(Nixon) was tried and convictedof something." -

Cambridge side of the bridge, aswell as the Memorial Drive un-derpass which allows drivers to

,4y-pass Massachusetts Avenue,has come under heavy criticismin the past as a traffic hazard.

The intersection consists ofan underpass beginning about100 yards from MassachusettsAvenue on Memorial Drive ineach direction. Cars which donot take the underpass are notallowed to cross or turn left onMassachusetts; instead, theymust turn right, going eitherover the bridge or up Massa-chusetts toward MIT.

Drivers who do not realizethey must take the underpassoften miss it, Willoth said, andthen attempt U-turns or leftturns at the intersection. In addi-tion to the hazard posed bythese cars, there are no pedes-trian lights at the intersection.Cars turning onto MemorialDrive often do so at high speed,threatening pedestrians there.

The study of the intersectionis apparently part of an on-goingMDC study of the driving haz-ards of Memorial Drive and theHarvard Bridge. MDC has -om-pleted plans, to replace thebridge within the next five years,and Willoth said possible modifi-cations of the underpass havebeen considered also.

Officials at Greiner refused tocomment on their study, sayingonly that the contract was undernegotiation. The firm is consi-dering "many options" in itsstudy, one official told TheTech, but he refused to elabo-rate on the considerations.

Completion of the study willnot mean automatic renovationof the intersection, Willoth said,as the Department of PublicWorks must approve funds forany construction.

"Continuous News Service

Since 1881"

Ervin discuss;es privacy

The bulk of the Army's domestic intelligence gathering wasauthorized and described in a document circulated to ArmyIntelligence Command centers in May 1968. The Department ofArmy Civil Disturbance' Information Collection Plan -declassified in 1971 - contained the following justification forthe surveillance activities:

The current civil disturbance situation dictates a change in thedegree to which the Army must seek advance informationconcerning potential and probable trouble areas and troublemakers.

The Army is well aware that the overwhelming majority inboth the antiwar and racial movements are sincere Americans. Italso realizes that in both groups-there is a small but virulentnumber who are out to tear America apart ... If the Army must'be used to quell violence it wants to restore law and order asquickly as possible and return to its normal protective role - todo this it must know in advance as much as possible about thewell springs of violence and the heart and nerve causes of chaos.To do less means the professional violence purveyors will have abetter chance to achieve their end aims - law breaking, socialdisintegration, chaos, violence, destructioni- insurrection, revolu-tion.

People," and "Instant-Requesf,"combined with a heavy scheduleof black-oriented communityservices, have helped to makeWTBS's type of education popu-lar in the Boston black commu-nity. WTBS-sponsored events,like the Rockwell Cage concertfeaituring the soul group Mandrilltwo years ago; "Party of theYear," set of five simultaneousbenefit parties held throughoutthe city to gather food forprison programs; and "'ProjectConcern," a fund-raising projectwhich raised $4000 in pledgesfor Southern University inLouisiana after two black stu-dents were' killed there, drawstanding-room-only crowds fromthroughout the Boston area.

"The Ghetto began to fJll aperceived need in radio for theBoston black community," ac-cording to "The History of TheGhetto," a half-hour radio pro-gram prepared for the fourthanniversary last year.-There wasno black-oriented programmingafter midnight, and so -MITblacks, many of them freshmen,started to offer The Ghetto onWTBS in 1970.

"The commercial stations

in %i' ,less effective than those alreadymentioned, is -the replacing offlared door lock buttons withrounded, cylindrical ones, thuspreventing the lifting of the but-ton with an antenna or screw-driver. Finally, Olivieri noted,packages should never be left ina car exposed to view since theyserve-to further entice the poten--tial car thief, "be they lunchbags or suitcases." Such articlesshould be placed in the trunk.

Crook locks, thought to beexcellent theft-preventive de-vices, are not invulnerable, ex-plained Olivieri. Once the carthief gains entry to the vehicle,he can hacksaw the crook lock,or wrench it free from the brakepedal, and run little risk of beingspotted.

The greatest aid to CampusPatrol in combatting car thefthas been the vigilance of theMIT community in reportingunusual activity in nearby park-ing lots and streets. Despite thefact that 94 of the 196 theftslast year took place during thedaytime, there were 28 arretsmade in 1974 relating to cartheft, and numerous theft at-tempts were thwarted by arriv-ing patrolmen, alarms, and otherprotective devices.

By Mike McNamee"Entertaining your soul and

educating your mind - comingat you from WTBS at MIT inCambridge, this is Ace bringingyou The Ghetto."

Drawing out the last word -"Ghettoooo". - Ace - GeraldAdolph '75 - turns to the turn-table beside him, cues in thenext song by the Stylistics, andturns back to the reporter.

"We believe in participationradio. Instead of stacking up 497records and playing 'em all andcoming back and saying that was.so-and-so playing that just afterthle 399th record, which wasthus-and-such, we want thelistener to get involved. We takemore requests, have more fea-tures, do more interviews..."

The phone rings. Ace an-swers, and takes a request. JC-James Clark '75 - takes overwith the reporter.

"Yeah, we've done thingsthat had never been done beforeon radio in Boston, and that alot of stations started doin' afterwe did 'em. We offered more live-interviews than all the commer-cial stations in this town com-bined."

Car theftsBy Danny Naddor

Despite the rising incidenceof car theft in the MIT commu-nity, automobile owners stillhave the means to effectivelydeter car thieves, according toCampus Patrol Chief JamesOlivieri.

The Boston-Cambridge area,Olivieri said, has long beenplagued by car thievery, havingone of the highest incidences ofcar thefts in the country. In1973, 130 car thefts from theMIT campus and surroundingCambridge area were reported tothe Campus Patrol.

This number climbed 51 percent to an all-time high of 196 in1974, Olivieri noted. The biggesttrouble spot for the CP was thestretch of Memorial Drive fromWestgate to the Sloan Buildgin,with 58 thefts and 33 unsuffccss-ful attempts reported there lastyear.

He pauses. "We've spread alot of radio talent in this city. Alot of people in Boston commu-nications have come throughWTBS and The Ghetto."

The Ghetto, WTBS's mid-night-to-3am soul radio program,is approaching its fifth anniver-sary on the airwaves in style. Afeature television program onWCVB-TV Saturday night willspotlight the show's anniversary- a bit prematurely, since the"birthday" won't take placeuntil May 1. From the two hoursa week of programming offeredwhen The Ghetto started in1970, the show has expanded toseven nights a week, offeringseven different disk jockeys pre-senting seven variations on onemain theme - "sugar-coatededucation."

"Our purpose and function isbasically to be educationalradio," Ace said. "But peopledon't want to listen to whatthey ought to listen to. Theyturn you off.-So we take bitsand pieces of information, sugarcoat it with music, and slip it to'em reeeal eeeasssyy."

Features like "Black Facts,""Check'-in," '".Talk to the

epidemicOnce the thief has entered

the vehicle, he uses a dent-puller,an instrument familiar to bodyrepair mechanics, to--rip out theigntion from the daslboard,enabling him to cross certainwires and start the car. Thisinstrument, known "in thetrade" as a "slam," does the jobin about 12 seconds, Olivierisaid. The ease with which Fordignitions can be "popped" ex-plains why Ford cars over-whelming "led the hit parade"with 52 stolen in 1974, headded.

There are a number of pre-ventive measures available to carowners, stated Oliveri. One suchdeterrent to car thieves is theinstallation of a "dead switch," ahidden switch which must bethrown to complete the ignitioncircuit and start the car. Anotherprecaution is to remove the coilwire, located in the engine be-tween the ignition coil and thedistributor, especially when leav-ing the car parked for an ex-tended period of time. A carthief, when confronted withsuch an obstacle, wil not ger-erally attempt to locate theproblem, but will rather aban-don the vehicle in search ofeasier prey, Olivieri said.

Another deterrent, somewhat

were real surprised to fimd outblack people listened to theradio after midnight," JC ob-served. "Now, they're beginningto program there."- The program, aided by im-

provements in WTBS's facilities,began to reach a broader follow-ing in the .community. TheGhetto's staff expanded, to thepoint where almost all the topoffices at WTBS were occupiedby Ghetto staffers. Even today,a large portion of the' pro-,gramming on WTBS consists ofThe Ghetto -and its spin-offs -Angel Wecome,'a gospel pro-gram, and Sunrise, a jazz showoffered from 3 to 7am six morm-imgs a week, among others.

"We have a lot of. followingout there. Within Rsoute 128, weprobably have the black audi-ence, period," JC said.'

Within the MIT campus, how-ever, The Ghetto doesn't havemuch of a following. "We've had--:;all the phones so busy that thesystem crashed sometimes, andthe dorm-lines haven't rungonce,'- JC noted. Despite thelate-night work habits of manyMIT- students, The Ghettodoesn't seem to attract manylisteners.

The Ghetto apparently haseven fewer fans among the MITadministration, a fact that makesmany staffers bitter. "When wehad the (Mandrill) concert - theonly concert on this campus inyears that made money - we gotmore flack than help fromMIT," Ace said. "All our eventsare run by our staff with no helpand no subsidies from MIT, andwe get nothing for the time weput in on the show."

Part of the problem is uncer-tainty about WTBS's status.Although officially a studentactivity, thle station has had

ment of the Army, "moresecretive about its activities thaneither the NSA or the CIA."

Files amassed on dissidentsThe material contained in the

intelligence files was amassed bythe Army Intelligence Commandthrough the late sixties and earlyseventies. The domestic intelli-gence gathering program pur-portedly was instituted to pro-vide the Army with up-to-dateinformation on areas where civildisturbances - either racially orpolitically motivated - could beanticipated. -

"These so-called intelligenceactivities," Assistant Secretaryof Defense Robert F. Froehlkesaid in 1971, "were only onefacet of the overall planning and

ciation in matching Big Brotherswith fatherless boys in thecommunity.

"I've never found that being abig Brother is all that trying ortime-consuming," Jim Torma'77, another Big Brother, said.Torma explained that he usuallytakes Saturday afternoon off totake his Little Brother Scott outfor some, activities.

"Usually we come to MIT,and use the facilities here,"Torma explained. "There'sbowling, swimming, air hockey,basketball, and all sorts of ac-tivities here.

"Scott gives me a chance to,get -away from MIT's drudgery,"Torma added. "He also makes agood excuse to get out and tothings I normally wouldn't do,like going to the Celtics games,watching kayak meets, and soforth."

Big Brothers, Michelson ex-plained, are important in helpingto keep boys out of trouble.Statistics from the Boston Asso-ciation back this view - a childfrom a single parent home, thesefigures say, is six times morelikely to be entered into thecriminal justice system as a childfrom a two-parent home.

Torma, however, said hedoesn't need statistics. "I see theresults for myself," he said.

In reality, however, the Armywas involved in a massive pro-gram or surveillance, aimed atdissident civilians.

The military spying was in-vestigated in 1971 by a Senatesubcommittee chaired by Sen.Sam Ervin, who retired last yearand who commented on theactivities during an address Tues-day night at MIT.

"The Army," Ervin said,"was secretly assigned by theJohnson Administration in 1967and 1968 to act as a detectiveforce throughout the nation andto spy on civilians having noconnection with the armedforces for the alleged purpose ofenabling it to predict whetherthere would be civil disturbancesamong the civilian population."

ConstitutionTo the Editor:

The proposed new Under-graduate Association constitu-tion represents some hard workby a number of individuals. TheInstitute Committee which itestablishes provides an adminis-trative mechanism which shouldassist undergraduate governmentin moving forward .into the fu-ture with. renewed vigor. Theregular contact between commit-tee chairmen should make possi-ble more responsiveness to stu-dent needs (both individual andgroup) -as these needs developand become visible over time.

I can imagine the InstituteCommittee increasing govern-mental effectiveness in the fol-lowing areas: planning and coor-dinating social and culturalevents, reponding to Institute-

.wideissues (both academic andnon-academic), assisting in themediation of disputes betweenorganizations over such things asspace, supporting the many stu-dent activities and organizationsin their programming efforts,brainstorming for new roles andfunctions for undergraduate gov-ernment.

The reestablishment of anInstitute Committee has beentalked about for as long as I havebeen at MIT (3½ year0. It seemsto be time nbw to give it achance.

Debra Deutsch.... 1776 Orchestra Manager

To the Editor:The Tech has in the past

maintained an objectivity in itstheatre reviews that was missingthis week. The readers.of thispaper should know that TheTech's review of 1-776 was writ-ten by a rejected applicant forthe post of musical director andthe part of Ben Franklin. Thatfact should be bome in mind byall readers of Mr.- Schaffner'sreview.

To the Editor:I was very upset to read Bill

Schaffner's review of 1776 inTuesday's edition of The Tech. Ihave managed the orchestra forsix of the last seven-major Musi-cal Theater Guild productions,and can say with some authoritythat the current pit orchestra isno more or less competent thanthose of the past few years.(Most of the time the orchestrais very competent.) What trou-bles there may have been weredue entirely to inadequate re-hearsal and a shortened produc-tion schedule. What has madethe difference is that we haveone of the most energetic, tal-ented, and hard-working musicaldirectors in the recent past. Mr.Schaffner applied for that posi-tion and was rejected in favor ofEric Ziering. It was Eric whocast Rutledge, not Carol

We are 'capable ofmaking cooperation and communicationeasier for students and. student groups.because.of our previous experience withstudent-government as wells as withnon-student-government. goups. -The ex-perience:, with'- the non-student-government activities have given usinsight into the operation and problemsof-different types of groups as well asexperience in being in charge of a group.Our experiences with the U.A. and withour house.governfments have enabled usto learn from the good and badexperiences of 6ther government systems.All of these experiences-have enabled'usto establish 'contacts with the Dean'sOffice and with-various people aroundMIT, meaning that as UA president-andvice-president we would not start off ascompl~te strangers to the people with-whom we would be Working.

We don't want to promise you theworld, because we couldn't deliver it byourselves. We do,. however, want toaccomplish--as much as possible. We-willactively seek student help and ;inputconstantly; there already are a number ofpeople who' have expressed. interest inworking with us if we're elected.

For your vote you will gettwo capable, interested' people who-,willgive you the best student governmentavailable for 1975-1976.

Some people seem to have an aversion tositting down and talking about dif-ferences, buit perhaps wexshouldn't knockit before we've tried it for real.

It sounds really good to say that one iswilling to fight, fight, figlt to the deathfor the 'caUse- of the students,' but alsothat the death ihat cormes is -that of thestudent government involved. The stu-

We believe that there can be a mean-ingful role for student government atMIT. D)uring the past year, the Under-graduate Association has begun to re-establish itself in the eyes of manymembers of the MIT community as aviable organization. If this trend is tocontinue during the next few years, theUA will need leaders who possess theability to recognize and admit de-ficiencies in the system and quickly cor-rect thesm. 'Obvioously, such actions areimpossible without effective communi-cation and a spirit of cooperation on thepart of everyone involved. If these twoqualities are present, then the result ofthe present efforts will benefit everyoneconcerned.

In our opinion, there should be aneffective liaison between deans, faculty,and students" as well as a more effectiveway for student organizations to cooper-ate and communicate with one another, ifthey wish. We are capable of bringingthese conditions about.

There are several reasons that studentgroups might want to work together atone time or another. For instance, theymay share some common interest or havesome common desire to see a particularevent happen on campus. The mostrecent example of something like thiswould be the John Dean and Sam Ervinlectures by the LSC and the UA. A singlegroup may not have the manpower orfinancial resources to do some of thethings that it wants to do; if there are twoor more groups that want to pool their

resources in order to accomplish somelarge task, their cooperation should bemade as hassle-free as possible. Groupscan also benefit from a free flow ofcommunications. One group may learndifferent and more effective ways ofrunning itself or of doing somethingdifferently from other groups. Newgroups would benefit particularly. reim-

We cannot sit back and silently watcha new dormitory purportedly planned toalleviate present overcrowding, be filledsolely by increasing class size,

We cannot tolerate the paternalismwhich allows faculty members to recom-mend a new grades policy without con-,sulting students.

We are tired of the failure of theadministration to consult the, faculty and

large-scale social activities for undergrad-uates. It is important to have a UA whichhas experience in. setting up parties. Be-cause we have previously run successfulsocial events in our living groups and haveobserved how the many larger scaleevents are run, we feel we can do a morethan adequate job.. Since the UA alone has the resourcesto produce large concerts, we would liketo see this done on a nore extensivescale. We have investigated the very suc-cessful system of the New York Stateuriversitites which allows schools com-parable in size to MJT to present artists ofthe caliber -of Stevie Wonder and theBeach Boys. It is a simple, money-savingsystem that could be established with

, other Boston Area Colleges and uriversi-ties on a permanent basis.

. We also intend to put on more smallerconcerts presenting folk artists such as

- David Bromberg or jazz artists like ChickCorea. We would like to see more of thesetypes of activities and are willing to work-hard to see them successfully run.

- The plans and ideas we have presentedare only the beginning of what we canand will :do. We are more than ready' toaccept ideas from other students and tohema complaints and problems other stu-dents may have.

When you vote, look at the record.Look at what we have done and what ouropponents have done. We feel that ourwork has shown that we treat our officesas' important responsibilities and that weare not afraid of innovation, and hardwork. Ideas are one thing; the -ability tocarry them out is another. If you feel ouropponents can do a better job, vote forthem. Otherwise please vote for us.

Cass of '75

Anita HortonI am interested in repre-

senting the concerns andinterests of the Class of 1975during the next few years. Iwould like to participate ingraduation planning. and or-ganizing as well as future acti-vities and projects of the class.

I have always been interestedand involved in MIT organi-zations and activities, and amvery familiar with the academicand administrative workings ofthe Institute. I feel that as classpresident I could utilize thisknowledge and maintain closecontact with MIT during thecoming years. I believe that Ihave been closely enough in-formed of and involved in theconcerns of our class to ade-quately represent our interests asI perceive them now. I pledge tobe receptive to the concerns ofthe members of the class overthe coming years, and to activelyrepresent those concerns in themost effective ways possible.Besides, most. important is thefact that I enjoyed my years atMIT and the many people Ishared those years with mean agreat deal to me. I would like tocontinue to be involved withthem and would be excited andhonored to serve as President ofthe class of 1975.

I've had .a lof of fun this yearwith many of you. As socialchairman of TDC, I created thewidely-hailed BlockBuster partywith ATO, KS, DKE, and PBE inSeptember. In February, threemonths of effort as a UAConcert- Committee memberresulted in the BS&T concert,also acclaimed as a good timedespite the financial cost. Andall year long, my role as MITVanchor has introduced me toyou and to newsmakers allaround campus. Let me put myexperience and enthusiasm to,work for all of us.

Ai.

Peter MancusoIf elected, I intend to make

full use of my experience andfriendships within the adminis-tration and alumni association toprovide leadership in the fol-lowing areas: I would work toorganize referenda to decidehow our class wishes to spendnearly $1500.00 in uncom-mitted funds that have beenset aside for pre-commencementactivities, and to determinewhether or not we wish topresent a senior gift to theInstitute, and if so, what it shallbe. I would also begin now toconstruct an effective organiza-zation of class members to plan-reunion and fund raising ac-tivities for the future.

! canr sum up my reasons forrunning for secretary/treasurerof the class of 1975 with thisstatement: I am ready, willingand can do the job well. Politicshas little place in this election,rather, the class should evaluatethe potential of each candidatefor the job,' and choose theperson they feel best qualifiedfor the type of officer theydesire, and the whole classshould support this collectivedecision, as cooperation isnecessary for continued com-munication, especially in thecase of the secretary/treasurerwriting in Technology Review.

Jenifer GordonHaving worked for the MIT

Alumni Association sinceJanuary of my freshman year, Iam well acquainted ,with theduties of the office of classSecretary-Treasurer. These in-clude: maintaining the class bankaccount, writing the 1975 "ClassNotes" Section of TechnologyReview, and assisting in theorganization of reunions. Be-cause of my familiarity with theAssociation and my past ex-perience in planning reunions, Ifeel qualified as a candidate forthe position of Sec-Treas in theclss of '75.

Forrest KrutterThe position of permanent

Secretary-Treasurer is really twopositions in one; secretary andtreasurer. I feel that I am wellqualified to handle boun posi-tions effectively in order to,unify the Class of 1975 throughthe next five years. My firstqualification is that I am alreadya member of the Senior ClassExecutive Committee and thusam well acquainted with theworkings of the Senior Class andam acquainted with the plans forcommencement which is thefirst activity the Permanent ClassOfficers will have to deal with.As the only candidate for

.permanent Class Office which iscurrently a Senior Class Officer,I feel that I can bring the

requisite continuity of planningthat will make commencement asuccess. I have worked as Editor-in-Chief of Tech EngineeringNews which should be of helpwhen preparing class notes forTechnology Review. AsTreasurer of the Student CenterCommittee I have set up booksfrom scratch and controlled thecash flow of one of the largeststudent committees. As

'Treasurer of the Student CenterCommittee I have also beeninvolved in the. planning of thesocial events the Committeesponsors and I hope to have amajor hand in running theSenior Class party and Reunion.I feel that my experience indealing with MIT will allow meto step into the position ofSecretary-Treasurer immediatelyand handle it successfullythrough the first reunion.

Jeffrey M. SchweigerAs an undergraduate I have

been involved with many facetsof student life-and been a part ofthe lives of many of my fellowmembers of the Class of 1975.As an alumnus I wish to stayinvolved with the class and withthe Institute and feel that thisoffice affords me an excellentopportunity to do so and to beof continued service to the MITClass of 1975.

office of Vice President of theClass of 1975. Ms. Gordon is aFebruary 1975 graduate inmathematics from - Newton,Massachusetts, is currently en-rolled in the Alfred P. SloanSchool of Management master'sprogram. "It must be under-stood that the rQles' of per-manent class officers differfundamentally from our classofficers of the past four years. Apermanent class officer's res-ponsibilities center primarilyaround both alumni relationsand reunion planning. Havingbeen employed in a part timecapacity at the MIT AlumniOffice for four years, I havebeen involved in actual reunionorganization and alumnirelations. I feel that my workingknowledge of the Alumni Asso-ciation' would be beneficial forour class. I have a sincere desireto maintain a formal relationshipwith our graduating class and theInstitute, and therefore seek theoffice of President of the class of1975."

Gary BuchwaldIt is clear that the persof you

want to elect to Class Presidentis one who has demonstrated agenuine interest in student life,activities, and concerns. Whatbetter way to judge one's com-mitment than by checking outhis involvement in extra-curricular activities? Thisabridged list proves that I havethe motivation, energy, and timeto devote to working for theClass of 1976: East CampusSocial Committee - chairman;MIT Kosher Dining Room -chairman, MIT Radio Society -traffic manager (providing freeradiogram service to MIT com-munity); East Coast AmateurRadio Service - area coordi-nator;· Hillel Brunch chairman;Musical Theatre Guild.

constitution, being offered-as a referen-dum item for student approval nextWednesday, is the result of a long historyof student government at MIT.

It represents an attempt by the currentleaders of student government andactivities to find a structure which willprove more workable and meaningfulthan the current structure, originallyestablished six years ago.

In some ways, the new constitution isa very old form of student governmentfor MIT. It provides for a return togovernment by an Institute Committee(Inscom) - a group that was abolishedwhen the current constitution was writ-ten in 1969.

The old Inscom reportedly was a veryeffective form of government. During theactivist days of the late .1960s, however,many students felt that the group,composed mainly of student politicians

and people whose main interests were in.student activities, was unrepresentative ofthe views of the student body in general.

As a result, the UA constitation wasre-written in 1969 to establish a GeneralAssembly (GA), consisting of repre-'sentatives from living groups, classes, andactivities. The GA was to be chaired bythe Undergraduate Association President(or Vice President, in the-- UAP'sabscence), who was to serve as the.executive officer of the student body.The UAP was also assisted by anExecutive Committee, which was to beelected at large along with the UAP andUAVP.

The new system of governmentworked well during its early. days.Student interest in a variety of issues washigh, and participation in the GA waswide-spread and general. As the issueswhich had ignited campus activismcooled, however, the new -system gra-.

unacceptable to some, the chance to letMIT knowthat the undergraduates areopposed to the presentation of a fait ac-compli on such an important issue iscrucial

Communication appears to be thebyword of this election. We havepresented a logical plan for increasing theinteraction between students on asemi-formal basis. Our second pledge is tohold open forums for all students toexpress their opinions on any aspect oflife at MIT. We will listen and try to help.These forums will also provide a measureof student sentiment that we can take to

faculty meetings. -There will be at leastone forum a month,-with more scheduledas circumstances dictate.

The biggest issue of the campaign willprobably be how the three candidatesdiffer. We have the experience - in runningconcerts, movies, and parties, in publicityand campus media, in leading and follow-ing. We have the plan - an open govern-ment, responsive to the desires of you, theMIT undergraduate. We have the desire towork - hard and well.

On April 16, vote NO on the proposedconstitution, vote YES on the Iranquestion, and vote for Horn/Wilson forUAP/UAVP. Isn't it-time we had a UAP?

dually fell into disuse.The fall of the GA was gradual.

Meetings became less and less frequent,until under UAP Robert Schulte '72(1971-72) the group met only once. UAPCurtis Reeves (1972-73) tried to revivethe GA with two or three exploratorymeetings, but dropped the idea wheninterest proved to be low. Since then, theGA has not met.

The nature of student government atMIT has changed in other ways duringthis period. With the decline in issue-oriented student activism, programmingand providing entertainment and recrea-ttion has become the largest function ofboth the central government - the UAP'soffice - and many of the outlying-groupsin student government. The StudentCenter- Committee, in particular, hasbecome a important programming body,providing a variety of weekend functionsand social events.

Disputes between the' new pro-gramming groups - the UAP's office,SCC, and so forth - and some of themore traditional programming groups -especially, it seems, the Lecture SeriesCommittee - have often approached thelevel of feuding. LSC, which holds asemi-monopoly showing feature films oncampus on weekends, has often chargedthat SCC and UA events have hurtattendance at their movie showings.Other groups have complained about alack of cooperation between the variousprogramming committees. Personalityconflicts have exacerbated the disputes.

Throughout these problems and dis-putes, there has been no central group tocoordinate and oversee student govern-ment.

The new Inscom -is' designed toalleviate those problems. Designed mainlyas a discussion group with power toarbitrate disputes between organizations

and activities, it is empowered to mak:decision for the student body, to carr-out activities- in. the name- of th-undergraduates, and to establish organizations to carry out those activities

The constitution went through mar-drafts 'before reaching its current stageThe original draft, written by Associatiorof Student Activities Chairmarn ForesKrutter '75, envisioned a much strongerrole for the Institute Committee, whiclwould have power to take on many moretasks thanr under the present draftDisputes, for example, would have beerbrought to the Inscom upon appeal ofone party, as opposed to appeal by boti-parties and Inscorn vote to acceptjurisdiction under the latest draft.

The weakening of the powers ofInseom was -apparently the result ofprotests from members of some activitiesat a series of meetings held in the last twoWeeks to discuss the constitution. Someactivities_- especially LSC - felt that theInscom- established by the first draft hadtoo much power over what they con°-sidered internal affairs of activities. Theizamendments were aimed at curtailing thatpower.

IranThe text of the Undergraduate Associa-tion.referendum question on the IranianNuclear Engineering program, as it willappear on next Wednesday's ballot, is asfollows:

Resolved: The. undergraduates of MITcall for the MIT administration to publishall agreements with the government ofIran and to not implement the specialprogram to train nuclear enginers for theShah of Iran. The referendum questionwas -entered on the ballot after presen-tation of a petition signed by 10 per'centof the MIT undergraduate student bodyto the UAP's office.

I'd like to see our class as awhole be more in touch with thefaculty and administration.

Louis ToutonI really don't know what kind

of job I want to do because ofthe vagueness of the office.

However, I hope not toapproach the office with thedeathly seriousness of a studentpolitician.

I want to represent yourviews and fight for our interests,but mostly I want us all to havefun doing it.

and Men as a class. My pastexperience with company repre-sentatives will guide me to assistthe ring committee effectively.Another idea to investigate is anundergraduate opportunity totry apartment living inde-pendently, with a guaranteedchance to return to the housingsystem.

I value this opportunity toinitiate changes for the positive.I want to be a responsivepresident and promise to answerall letters, and to accept alltelephone calls. I hope thisattitude will keep me currentwith our needs. I ask you to

-give me this chance to workhard. I feel f have a lot to learn,but also something special tocontribute to our class speci-fically, and the MIT communityin general.

John MarcouMy name is John (Capt.

Random) Marcou, and I am acandidate for Class President ofthe Class of '78. I am 19 yearsold and was born n March 22,1956 in Nashville, Tenn. I havelived in Washington, D.C. for 14years. Even though I come fromWashington, the capitol for dirtypolitics, I have never been muchinterested in .attaining politicalgrease. That is why I see thisposition as an opportunity toorganize Random Social eventswithin our- class while avoidingpetty politics.

Alicia AbelsMost of the feelings that I

have encountered about StudentGovernment at MIT have beenless than enthusiastic. Per-

sonally, I feel that StudentGovernment can be a verypositive activity if the peoplerunning it are willing to put inenough effort to make it so. Ihad a lot of experience and -funin high school getting things tohappen, and would like to tryhere. As your Secretary-Treasurer, I will put in thethought and time necessary todo something more than hasbeen expected of class officers inthe past.

Jeffry P. Snow' Hopefully by now you are

wondering about two questions:"What is Freshman' ExecutiveCommittee" and "Why should Ivote for Jeffrey Snow?" Toanswer the first inquiry, Fresh-man Executive Committee is, inmy opinion, an advisory councilto the freshman class officersand is also an aid to the ringcommittee, who design our illus-trious rats.

With this cursory foundation,i will now attempt to answer thesecond question. My activities atMIT entail IM sports, softballumpiring, and being a pros-pective candidate for WTBS.From this you can see I am notgreasy and do not crave ausurpation of power. The reasonI -seek this office is because Iwant -to become involved andbelieve Freshman ExecutiveCommittee is a good beginning. Iam willing to put the time andenergy into the job and to try todo something for our class. WhatI am trying to say is that I reallywant the office and wouldsincerely appreciate your con-sideration on election day.

Thank you.

Jose CisnerosI am sure there are many of

you who never knew an Execu-tive Committee existed for eachclass, or ever heard of any oftheir accomplishments -This issomething I really think shouldbe-changed.. Therefore I plan tobe very active and cooperatingwith the other members of thecommittee in making this Exec-Comn an important part of classgovernment. One of my greatestinterests is the Ring Committeewhich I hope to be able to saywill make our "Rat" as gloriousor even better than any seen atMIT. So let me just modestlysay, if you -want someone who'llmake a sincere effort and do hisbest vote for me. Thanks!

William LasserIf you had told me last year

that I would be running forfreshman executive committee, Iwould probably have laughed inyour face. If you were to tell methat this year, I probably would-n't, since it would cost me a vote.

But seriously, folks, I believethat I would do a good job, andwill be dedicated to it. Myextracurricular activities thusfarhave included writing for TheTech (and 'after reading thisyou're probably wondering howI can do that), and also playingIM sports and umpiring softball.

I would very much like to beon Freshman Exec Corn, andwith your votes I can be.Whatever you do, don't forget tovote on Wednesday.

Thank you.

The ultiratein environmental art..Trash," a multi-media exhi-

bit prepared by the Center forAdvanced Visual Studies(CAVS) and the Lobby 7 Com-mittee which explores 'variousaspects of garbage, excrement,and waste products, will beoffered in the Building 7 Lobbyfor the next three weeks.

The exhibit "will attempt toapproach the subject of trash inani artistic way, exposing thesocial and societal roles of wasteproducts in our system of life,"according to Auto Pieny, direc-tor of CAVS.

"We believe that garbage isprobably one of the mostimportant influences on our livestoday." Pieny explained."'Trash' is designed to exploitthat influence."

The exhibit, which was in-spired by a recent sanitationworkers' strike in New YorkCity, will feature more thanthree tons of garbage, litter, andsewage brought to the Building 7Lobby to lend realism to theshowing, Pieny said. Fellows atCAVS have been working withthe waste products, or "effluentmaterial," for about ten days,incorporating the materials into"hard" and "soft" sculpture,interactive displays, and garbagecans.

"Interdisciplinary""'Trash' will be a truly inter-disciplinary, interdepartmental,interscholastlic, and interstitialexperience," Pieny said, pointingout that researchers from suchdiverse fields as Chemical. Eng/-neering, Urban Pas n/ng, Mate-rials Science and Engineering,and Biology had been involvedin the planning of the exhibit.Many displays which were of-fered for the exhibit had to berefused due to space limitations, ·mmmiury .---- . . .. --- �r IIIICI- I ----- Y- - ------� -- �------- --- ---- -- -- ·I - _ ___ �-�L�-- �--PL -

to examine other entrances tothe Institute in the third week.Two alternate entrance routes,she suggested, are:

- Entrance through Building9, taking the elevator there tothe fifth floor, coming throughthe connecting hallway into thefourth-floor studios in Building7, circling around the studiosinto Building 5, to go down theBuilding 1 staircase and re-enterthe main traffic flow afterwalking along the second floorthrough Building 3.

- Entrance through Building1 at 33 Massachusetts Avenue,going up to the fourth floor ofBuilding 5 -to the studios inBuilding 7, across the connectinghallway to Building 9, and thenfollowing the first alternateroute to the main traffic flow.

When asked about trafficcongestion along entranceroutes, Winberg explained, '"Itwon't be any worse than thatcaused by any of our pastexhibits."

Low-cost exhibit"Trash" is expected to be one

of the least expensive exhibitsever offered by CAVS, Pienysaid, explaining that most of thematerial for the show has beendonated by municipalities whichpreferred to r m-nain anonymous.There would ' 'some costs, hesaid, for trucka g in the materialand cleanig, exzerminating, andfumigating F ftsrwards, but thatcost, es;ti-,ted at about $2.5million, wa termed "trivial".

"This e- hibit is probably theultimate i true environmentalart - ning full use of thematerials whimh surround us,'"Pieny said.

(USC is a columnist for TheTech.)

-A.,

Pieny 'said,' citing an effluentmaterial display offered by theDepartment of Nuclear Engi-neering as-an example.

In addition to the effluentmaterial, "Trash ' will feature thelarge inflatable sheets of plasticand videotape monitors thathave been the trademark ofCAVS displays in the past. In'"Trash", however, CAVS "isgiving up all that artistic bullshitabout 'meaning' and runningthem (the videotapes) as whatthey are - trash," Pieny said.

The inflatable centerpiece ofthe exhibit will be a200-foot-tall green -pa.ic gar-bage can, Pieny said, -sinilar tothose found in -many discount

stores. The plastic type of canwas chosen over the morecommon metal can, he said,because "plastic more fully re.presents the throwaway natureof our society which. 'Trash'attempts to deal with."

Lagest exhibit yet"Trash" will be the largest

exhibit ever to take over theBuilding 7 Lobby, according toLobby 7 Coordinator ZusanneWinberg. "When it starts out, itwill just occupy the Lobby,"Winberg explained. "But 'Trash'will be an organic, vital, livingexhibit, and we expect it willgrow throughout many of thenearby halls and rooms."

Plans have been made,Winberg said, to evacuate anyrooms where the occupants'"aren't in sympathy with theartistry of the exhibit."

Wainberg said that, despite itssize, "Trash" would not incon-vinience members of the com-munity who use Lobby 7 as anentrance to the main buildings."As' the exhibit progresses, wewill make every effort to helppeople who need to get into thebuildings,' she said.

These efforts, Winberg said,included sanitary protection forpersons passing through theLobby during the first twoweeks of the exhibit, and provi-sion of alternate opportunities

Police Blotter is a weekly compilation of Campus Patrol Activities on and off the MIT campus.Items for the Blotter are selected by the Patrol.

Arrest of armedrobbery suspects

A sudden rash of armed rob-beries struck the MIT and Cen-tral Square areas within the lastweek. Three attempts were madeon the Campus alone, two ofwhich were successful. In eachcase the basic description of thesuspects was the same. Intensiveeffort on the part of both theCampus and City police resulted

'in the arrest Wednesday after-noon of two suspects in the case.Arraignment was held Thursdaymorning at the Third DistrictCourt; prosecution in the Supe-rior Court is now pending.

Arrest of suspected car thiefEarly April saw a sharp rise in

the number of cars reportedstolen from the Westgate parkingareas. Late night stake-outs byOfficers resulted in the pre-dawnarrest of an eighteen-year-oldman,\apprehended by the Offi-cers as he worked with a screw-driver beneath the-dashboard ofa Jaguar parked in the Tang lot.The ignition of the car had beentorn out. The suspect was ar-raigned the following morning atthe Third District Court, chargedwith Attempted Larceny of aMotor Vehicle. Since the arrest'*ere have to date been no fur-

ther reports of cars stolen fromthe Westgate area.

Many unattendedvaluables stolen

A typewriter, a table radiovalued at $40, and three pocketcalculators valued at approxi-mately $685 were stolen in fiveseparate incidents from unat-tended offices in the Main Com-plex in the past week, as weresix wallets and purses left unat-tended in coat pockets and ondesks.

Two bicycles, valued atapproximately $225 were alsoreported stolen in the past week.One of them had been left unat-tended and unsecured in an of-fice in the Main Complex.

Community awarenessRecent FBI statistics indicate

that reported crime in the Bos-ton/Cambridge area is up 25%over last year's total. This figureis reflected by the constantlyincreasiing number of complaintsreceived by the Campus Patrol.The Lest defense against crimi-nals is community awareness.Help yourself, and help yourneighbor; if you see suspiciousconditions, or think that a crimeis being committed, call theCampus Patrol and report yoursuspicions. Patrol Officers will

quickly respond, at any hour ofthe day or night, to investigatethe circumstances.

The Campus Patrol is investi-gating a report of a nude male inthe Building 14 area late Mon-day night. A complainant was

·able to provide information thatcould lead to a successful prose-cution of the subject.

During the Senate hearings,the subcommittee was assuredthat the records produced bythese intelligence programs hadbeen destroyed. However, uponlater investigation - one staffertold The Tech - it was discov-ered that several batches ofinformation had been secretlyduplicated and copies moved toother locations, including theNational Security Agency.

The intelligence reports inquestion are part of the sixcomputerized banks of datawhich were stored until 1972 at

the Army Intelligence CommandInvestigative Records Repositoryat Fort Holabird.

Sources say officers at FortHolabird made unauthorizedreproductions of tapes andmicrofilmed manual files. Saidone source, who worked withthe Ervin subcommittees: "I'mnot the least bit surprised tohear that ASA and NSA shouldhave possession of any of thisinformation."

He added that the SenateSelect Committee currentlyexamining alleged illegalitieswithin the intelligence commu-nity has been told of thedissemination of the supposedlydestroyed Army files, and addedthat the committee's staff wouldbe investigating the charges.

Heavyweight crewsinks oast Guard

By David I. KatzThe MIT heavyweight crew

opened their 1975 season with aresounding defeat of CoastGuard last Saturday. Under thecold and snowy conditions, the

' gineers easily handled theCadets, who may have been han-dicapped by an outbread ofGerman measels in. their squad.

The varsity rowed an easyand controlled race as they werenever challenged. Their start of15 strokes at a cadence of 40strokes per minute, 20 strokes at36, followed by a settle to 33put them 3/4 of a length aheadafter 300 meters. CoxswainTony Foti '76, said, "We didn'texpect to take them at the start,but it really got together." MIT'stime of 6:32.1 led Coast Guardover the line by seven seconds.

The most exciting race of theday was the junior varsity race.
