Maguire declined to provide anydetails of the new proposal before itis approved by Senior Vice PresidentWilliam R. Dickson. "A decision hasnot been made or announced by myboss," he said last night.

Still, a chalkboard message inNext House yesterday said, "NextHouse dining hall will be open nextyear," and thanked residents for pro-viding their input in the decision-making process.

"I'm pleased with the decision,but Next House will lose money andthey will end up closing it nextyear," Babiec said. "Is the goal ofthe house dining system makemoney or to make sure that studentsare fed and healthy?"

The Office of Housing and FoodServices is expected to approve yetanother plan for operating MIT'sbeleaguered dormitory dining hallstoday, and in a significant departurefrom the most recent proposal, thecafeteria in Next House will remainopen.

Few specifics were available lastnight, pending the formal approvalthat -is expected to come today.However, both the president andhouse manager of Next House saidthey have received indications thattheir dining hall will remain openfor at least another year.

Next House President Walter E.Babiec '94 said he had "been incontact with" Lawrence E. Maguire,director of housing and food ser-vices, and was told on Wednesdaythat "no matter what, the dininghall's going to be kept open." Healso said that a "totally voluntarymeal plan," which does not requireresidents to purchase a minimum,would be maintained.

The day after David Gunn wasslain outside an abortion clinic here,the blinds were drawn and the areawas quiet, but tension hung in theair.

A squad car was parked in frontof the gray wood building thathoused the clinic, which opened inOctober, to make sure it stayedquiet.

A bouquet of purple and yellowmums lay on the sidewalk behindPensacola Women's Medical Ser-vices, where Gunn, 47, the onlyphysician known to performn abor-tions in Pensacola, was killed.Police said he was hit in the back bythree of four shots fired by Michael

WACO, TEX

The FBI said Thursday that Branch Davidian leader David Koreshhas agreed to allow three male followers to leave the fortified com-pound where they have been under siege for 12 days.

There was no indication Thursday night whether the men willactually leave, but the possibility of the first departures from the com-pound in a week suggested that negotiations between federal authori-ties and Koresh and his followers are making some progress. "It willbe a backward step if in fact they do not come out," FBI spokesmanDick Swensen said at a briefing Thursday morning.

Since the standoff between the sect and the hundreds of lawenforcement officials outside Ranch Apocalypse began, 21 childrenand two adults have been allowed to depart, leaving behind 90 adultsand 17 children.

Federal negotiators have not talked directly to Koresh since 5:30p.m. Tuesday, according to Swensen. Instead, they have been negoti-ating with Steve Schneider, a follower who has emerged as Koresh'ssecond in command. It was Schneider, Swensen said, who told nego-tiators in talks that went on until I a.m. Thursday that Koresh hadagreed to the departure of the three men after talking with them.

The increasing role of Schneider has prompted speculation thatKoresh is losing control over his followers. Authorities have tendedto dismiss that possibility.

"When he entered the compound, he willingly gave up his wife toMr. Koresh," FBI spokesman Bob Ricks said this week of Schneider."That takes a lot of dedication."

The explanation for Koresh's absence from the talks is that he hasa severe headache. But FBI officials said they believe Koresh wasinjured in the Feb. 28 raid on the compound that resulted in thedeaths of four ATF agents and an unknown number of cult members.

Swensen said Thursday, however, that there is no reason tobelieve Koresh is dying or incapacitated or that he is totally removedfrom the negotiations. "He's still remotely or indirectly involved."

Complaints That They Are VierimsTHE WASHINGTON POST

LOS ANGELES

Whatever its impact on the civil-rights trial of three Los Angelespolice officers and a former officer, Rodney G. King's dramatic testi-mony about his beating has crystalized complaints by blacks that theyare persistent victims of police discrimination here.

Several blacks arrived at 5:30 a.m. to wait in line for one of 14public seats available in the federal courtroom where King testifiedthis week about his brutal beating after a high-speed pursuit March 3,1991. Many of them said King was beaten because he is black.

"This is the first time the court system has allowed the interjectionof race," said Joyce Harris, 47, of nearby Compton. "But all along,the black community has waited. We've been waiting since Simi Val-ley for this to be brought up."

Suburban Simi Valley was the site of acquittal verdicts on 10 ofI I state criminal charges against the officers last year. They are beingtried now on federal charges.

King testified Tuesday that some of the officers had called him"nigger" as he was beaten. But he modified that under cross-examina-tion Wednesday, saying he was not sure whether the word used was"nigger" or "killer."

His accusation of racial slurs continued to reverberate Thursday asattorney Harland W. Braun, who represents officer Theodore J.Briseno, asked U.S. District Judge John G. Davies to order the word"nigger" stricken from the trial record. He also sought censure ofprosecutors for judicial misconduct on grounds that they withheld theaccusation from the defense.

"I see no misconduct, absolutely none," Davies said. "The govern-ment turned over all of Mr. King's statements in a timely fashion.Mr. King was impeached on that issue. I really can't see how thedefendants can complain."

Braun said racial accusations are particularly inflammatory here aspolice continue to engage in intense tactical training in case furtherrioting erupts. He said a helicopter awaits atop the court building toevacuate trial participants, if necessary after a verdict, but U.S. mar-shals here said they knew of no such plan.

manufacture products that can besold commercially.

Clinton attempted to underscorehis concern for the defense industryand its workers by traveling to thissuburb of Baltimore to visit theWestinghouse Electronic SystemsGroup _ a defense firm that recentlyhas begun manufacturing such com-mercial products as airline radar andhome-security equipment.

"What you have done here iswhat I wish to do nationally _ takesome of the most talented people inthe world who've produced some ofthe most sophisticated military tech-nology and put that to work in thecivilian economy," he told severalhundred workers and guests.

The president also announcedthat effective immediately, theDefense Advanced Research Prod-ucts Agency, which previously hadprovided grants to defense contrac-tors to help finance development ofweapons systems, would beginunderwriting some commercialresearch as well.

And he said that beginning Fri-day, the White House would set upa new toll-free telephone number-1-800-DUAL-USE - to enablecompanies to obtain more informa-

tion about the grant program and toproffer their proposals for federalfunding.

Few of the proposals that Clin-ton described were new. The presi-dent announced his plans to releasethe $1.7 billion in unspent fundsduring a visit to California Feb. 22.He also unveiled the bulk of his pro-posal for fostering high-tech thatsame day.

Rather, the thrust behind Thurs-day's effort appeared to be political,designed to divert attention from anannouncement expected Friday out-lining the administration's recom-mendations for military base-clos-ings in 1993.

The base-closure list already hassparked a political firestorm andheavy lobbying by members ofCongress. An independent commis-sion has until July 1 to review therecommendations,

Friday, while the list is beingdisclosed, the president will be inNorfolk, Va. - along with Secre-tary of Defense Les Aspin PhD '66- to visit the aircraft carrierTheodore Roosevelt. Aides say bothmen are trying to improve theirimages among military personnel.

rajevoSoldiersaid. "But we know that (Herak andDamjanovic) only represent theimage of an evil policy. The stringsare pulled by more important peo-ple."

Herak, 22, will have the starringrole in the trial. Since his capture,the Serb soldier has given a book-shelf worth of interviews to foreignjournalists. He has told of rapingand murdering Muslim women, oflining up civilians and mowingthem down with his assault rifle, ofthrowing bodies into a mass graveand using a bulldozer to dump dirton top of them. He has lost count ofthe precise number of people hekilled. He is being charged with rap-ing more than a dozen women andkilling 20 people.

Herak's court-appointed lawyeris Milan Prpa, a Serb who startedpracticing law in Sarajevo in 1987and doesn't like to talk to journalistsabout his unusual client.

It is a case few lawyers wouldwant to have. Damjanovic's lawyer,Martic, said nobody has reproachedhim so far but he expects criticismonce the trial begins.

"The accused has a legal fight toa defense, and my obligation is todo the best I can do for him," Marticsaid. "I am not defending thecrimes. I am defending a man whois charged with committing thesecrimes."

LINTHiCUM, MD

President Clinton unveiled a$19.5 billion long-range plan Thurs-day to help the defense industryadjust to cutbacks in the militarybudget, saying the plan would helpthe economy bounce back and bring"a new century of strength, growthand opportunity."

Serbs have been identified as poten-tial war criminals. But the only onesin the custody of the Muslim-ledBosnian government are Dam-janovic and Herak.

"This is the first trial in whichcharges are being pressed againstpeople who committed crimes thathave not been committed sinceWorld War II," said prosecutorLjubomir Lukic, who is expected toask for the maximum punishment:death by firing squad.

The well-publicized trial mayhighlight the difficulty of prosecut-ing Serbs for alleged war crimes.The problem is simple: The crimestook place on territory held bySerbs, most of the victims werekilled or have disappeared, and anysurviving witnesses are most proba-bly Serbs who will not cross thefront lines to testify against theirbrethren.

Lukic admits to frustration overthe fact that the two Serbs in thedock are small fish. The people whoshould be brought to trial first, heargues, are the political leaders whoordered or approved of the allegedraping, murdering and pillaging thattook place in the last 11 months asthe Serbs conquered 70 percent ofBosnia.

"We want to show the world ...what some members of Bosnia'sSerb population have done," Lukic

Lawyer Branko Martic isn't surewhether his client is innocent, buthe hopes so.

"! have a hard time acceptingthat the crimes charged against myclient can be committed," Marticsaid. "I won't feel pleasant if it isproved that he is guilty."

The offenses Martic refers to areknown as war crimes. His client isSretko Damjanovic, a capturedBosnian Serb soldier who is accusedof killing five civilians, including aMuslim. oirl hr. allegedlytrapedbefore murdering, and two brotherswhose throats he allegedly slit.Damjanovic is also accused of rap-ing another Muslim girl.

The tax-evasion scandal involving former political kingmakerShin Kanemaru and his secret stash of cash and stocks, said to beworth millions, has sparked renewed outrage among Japanese voters.But in the political world it is producing a different emotion: rawfear.

All over Nagatacho, Tokyo's version of Capitol Hill, party leadersand members of the national parliament were waiting tensely Thurs-day to see who might get investigated next for accumulating largeamounts of unreported income.

"One thing everybody knows: This problem is not limited toKanemaru alone," said Takayoshi Miyagawa, a prominent politicalconsultant with close ties to the dominant Liberal Democratic Party."As politicans get influence in the party, they get many chances totake in money which they never report."

"Most of the politicians report only their official salary" on taxreturns, investigative journalist Takashi Tachibana wrote. That wouldbe about $200,000 a year for a member of the lower house of the par-liament. "But it would be impossible for them to accumulate thewealth they have if that were their only income."

Kanenaru, 78, who had been the chief power broker of the domi-nant party, lost his seat in parliament and his considerable clout dueto a separate political funding scandal last fall. He was jailed Satur-day on charges of evading taxes on secret income.After years of scan-dal on top of scandal, people here were already severely disillusionedwith politics. The tax evasion case - coming just before the Japan-ese income tax filing deadline next Monday - has clearly increasedthe national sense of disgust.

the killing .,itscf, he was ,v,.i..ed.on related weapons charges and sentto Attica State Prison.

The group also has ties to theEgyptian cleric in New Jersey.Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, whohas been linked to acts of terrorismin Egypt, including the murder ofPresident Anwar Sadat. Abdel-Rah-man has denied any role in theWorld Trade Center bombing.

The money was wired toaccounts at the National Westminis-ter Bank branch in Jersey City, N.J.,just a few blocks from the mosquewhere Omar's followers - includ-ing at least two of the men arrestedin the case - worshipped.

The two principle suspects,Mohammed A. Salameh and NidalA. Ayyad, held a joint account atthe Jersey City bank that receivedsome of the money from Germany.In addition, money from the sameforeign source also was placed inindividual accounts belonging to themen.

lowed the widening money trail,sources said they were moreinclined to suport the view publiclyexpressed by FBI Assistant Directorjames Fox that the Feb. 26 bombinogwas "organized by a large, well-know terrorist group."

Although the money received bythe suspects was wired from a bankin Germany, investigators said theysuspect the funds actually originatedelsewhere - possibly Iran or Iraq.In Egypt, according to a knowledge-able source, followers of an Egypt-ian cleric whose New Jersey mosquehas figured in the bombing case areknown to be funded with Iranianmoney funneled through Sudan.

Three men have be arrested inconnection with the bombing, all ofthem identified by the FBI with aradical Islamic group that hasactively protested last year's jailingof El-Sayed Nosair, who wascharged in the 1990 murder in Man-hattan of right-wing Jewish leaderMeir Kahane. Although acquitted of

yes. As a supporter of free speech, 1 agreewith him on this. But he later goes on to dis-agree with himself by questioning the thirdreferendum question, which follows logicallyfrom the first. If we are to have the same free-dom of speech that students have at publicuniversities, then our speech code must bemodified to conformn to those free speech pro-tections.

Kessler misunderstands the third referen-dum question. He complains that it is not yet asettled matter of law whether MIT's harass-ment policy is unconstitutional. But nowheredo the referendum quesfiun>s say that the MITpolicy is unconstitutional. MIT is a privateinstitution, and as such is not bound by theFirst Amendment. The issue is that Mas-sachusetts law may forbid the speech restric-tions present in the policy. The third questionmentions that the MIT policy regulates consti-tutionally protected speech only to make clearthat the Institute is not rcquired to regulatesuch speech.

Kessler complains that the MIT harass-ment policy is not present at the polls. But it isKessler's friends on the Undergraduate Asso-ciation Election Commission who barred theprovision of that informnation. For him to socomplain is grossly unfair.

Reading Kessler's letter, I wonder whetherthe questions themselves are what botheredhimn. Adi ci-rtainly doesn't seem to have readthem very carefully. Perhaps his real problemis that he can't address the issue through somespecial committee, UA-sponsored survey, orother method that gives him some control.

requires us to be constantly aware of situa-tions posing potential threats to our safety. Inthe event of an injury, an immediate call toCampus Police will provide an ambulance orpatrol car for rapid transportation to the near-est acute care facility. The Medical Depart-ment must facilitate access to Medical Centerproviders after hours. Medical providers needto be more communicative with students andnot project indifference or lack of interest orconcern.

All is well that ends well and I am espe-cially appreciative that John 01ynyk wasaggressive (figuratively, not literally! inbringing his experience and sensitive observa-tionls to the attention of the Medical Depart-ment and the medical director.

Admm'istration Is RealCause of Tuition HikePresident Charles M. Vest's justification

for MIT's tuitionl increases ignores a big fac-tor. Vest suggests that faculty salaries aredriving the increase, when in fact if facultysalaries had been raised at the samne rate astuition, the average professor would be driv-ing a Lexus and living in a Back Blay town-house. It might be better to look at the admnin-istration. According to the Planning Office'sMIT Factbook, in 1969, MIT employed 962faculty and 622 administrators. By 1989, theranks of administrators had doubled to 1,2 171despite the fact that the faculty head countwas practically unchanged at 988.

The 600 additional administrators, conser-vatively estimated to cost S50,000 per yeareach (salary, benefits, overhead, etc.), collec-tively soak up at least $30 million annually, orS6,000 from each undergraduate.

Bureaucracies grow without limit unlesschecked by some external force. By workingwith Ivy League schools to fix tuition prices,the MIT. bureaucracy has escaped the disci-pline of the marketplace. If MIT. can defeatthe govemnment's antitrust suit, that's great.Hoswever, we shouldn't delude ourselves intothinking $ 19,000 per year is somehow whatan education needs to cost.

T ech Article VictimizedDoctors, Students

The Tech received this letter last Decem-ber, buifailed to print it because of a clericalerror.

Both John P. Olynyk '94 and the MedicalDepartment have been victimized by the irre-sponsib~le and flagrantly confrontational arti-cle that appeared in The Tech ["Stab VictimFaced Wait for Treatment." Dec. 8, 1992].

When called about the Nov. 20 stabbingincident in which Olynyk and another studentwere injured, I said that my information aboutOlynyk's injury and treatment was incorm-plete, namely, that he was examined by acompetent physician within a minute ofarrival at the Medical Center and that thejudgment of that doctor was that Olynyk'sinjuries posed no immediate threat to life andthat his transfer to the Massachusetts GeneralHospital should be done expeditiously, but noturgently. Although I had no explan~ation forthe 20-minute delay to the MGH, Mr. Olynykwas stable on arfival.

It is most unfortunate that statements inlade were quoted out of context. it was my

understanding that the students were agitated,demanding, abusive, and excited when theyrarrived at the Medical Center shortly aftermidnight. At that time entry into the buildinig,

for security reasons, requires proper identifi-cation. I bad been told that the students hadbeen drinking and that that added to the ten-sion that existed.

In a recent conversation with Olynyk, Iwas convinced that excessive alcohol was notan issue and that any abusive language anddemeanor reflected the concern, fear, andfrustration that the students were experienc-ing. If all the facts of the incident were cor-rectly compiled before the article was printed,I am sure that the situation would have beendescribed fairly and that the distortions offen-sive to John Olynyk and to me would not haveoccurred. Parenthetically, tilt story failed toinclude even a hint of the concern anid empa-thy that I expressed for Mr. Olynyk and theoLthlr stuUdeLra

There are lessons to be learned from thisexperience. We live in a violent world that

year he finished composing this large scalemass, just four years before his death. Strug-gle characterized Beethoven's life at thispoint, and he sought to express in music all ofhumanity's deepest conflicts. His ensuingwork was both complex and difficult, but hewould not alter his vision to ease perfor-mance: before the Missa's 1824 premiere, thesopranos pleaded unsuccessfully withBeethoven to revise a section of the Fugue inthe Credo, which called for the theme to enteron a high B-flat. Clearly, conductor RogerNorrington and the BSO took on a challengewith this work.

Norrington, however, did not appearuptight or overly serious during the perfor-mance, which he conducted without a baton.Animated and fluid, he succeeded in express-ing "the human side" of what is often consid-ered a "very serious, very forbidding, andvery difficult" piece to listen to, an objectivehe set out in the program notes. Nonetheless,the Missa Solemnis, while it does have glori-ous high points, has a substantial dark sidewhich cannot be dismissed. It does not endwith the triumphant finality of Beethoven'sFifth Symphony, but with a briefer finalcadence, which left me a bit uneasy aboutBeethoven's assessment of humanity as I wentto pick up my jacket from the coat check.

Struggle also characterized the foursoloists. While each individually sang withcharacter and sensitivity, the group was notbalanced. The mezzo-soprano, Sarah Walker,and the bass, Alastair Miles, were difficult tohear when the rest of the quartet, tenor JohnAler and soprano Amanda Halgrimson, wasalso singing.

Many of the most demanding parts in theMissa are sung by the chorus, and the Tangle-wood Festival Chorus, directed by John Oliv-er (of MIT Concert Choir fame), was superb.They articulated every 'K' in the Kyrie,brought the audience to the energetic fugalclimax art the end of the Gloria, sustainedpower and grace through the endurance-test-ing Credo, and supported the soloists in theSanctus. In the final moments of the mass (theend of the expansive Agnus Dei), when the

soloists, chorus, and orchestra clamoredagainst each other with cries of "peace" andwar, the chorus sang with such urgency andfervor that no-one could question their sinceri-ty. They took to heart Beethoven's instruc-tions: "From the heart -- may it go to theheart." Their energy and intensity made thepiece come alive.

On Saturday, the chorus, the soloists, theconductor, and the piece itself reinforced theadvantages of live performance. The MissaSolemnis is a dramatic work, a mass, writtento be witnessed, not simply heard; at Sympho-ny Hall you can see the performers' expres-sions, watch them strain and struggle with animmediacy and intensity irreproducible onany digitally remixed CD.

Conductor Norrington, in recognition ofthis fact and the Missa's tremendous power,added an intermission with the expressedintent of bringing out the mass's human sideand making it more accessible, dividing theuplifting Kyrie and Gloria from the darker,more serious Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei.This indeed made the work easier to fathom,though I still found the concert more of anawesome spectacle than an enjoyable eveningof entertainment. As I'm sure Beethovenintended, the Missa Solemnis will never be a:fun"' or :*whimsical" concert. Norringtonallowed the audience to connect with the emo-tions in the mass, and I was haunted by anunsettling feeling for several hours after thefinal chord.

Elections, trom Page I "t no." The second question was,"Should students have the freedomto express unpopular or cont~rover-sial views?" Eighty percent of vot-ers said "yes," while 9 percent said"no," The final question asked if theMIT harassment policy should be

" revised to provide protection forfreedom of speech." Of the respons-es, 56 percent were "yes," and 27percent were "no."

Electronic voting a successSharma did say that he "was

hoping for a little bit better results"with electronic voting. He believesthat if Information Systems, had sentout a global zephyr over Athena,describing electronic voting on elec-tion day, voter turnout would havebeen even greater. Dean for Under-graduate Education and StudentAffairs Arthur C. Smith and J. PaulKirby '92, who created the votingsystem, were unable to arrange thiswith Information Systems becauseof a lack of time. "It will be interest-ing to see what effect this has on thevoting if we use electronic votingnext year," Sharma added.

Elections went smoothly,according to Shanma. "Luckily noballot boxes were stolenl," he addedhumorously. He said there were nosecurity breaches, although somepeople did try to vote twice, once

over Athena and once in person.Also, there were few problems

with the electronic voting system.He noted one oversight was thatvoters could not write in candidatesfor uncontested offices on Athena;these positions will be appointed bythe class councils of each class, headded. Sharma said some studentshad remarked that time was too lim-ited for the electronic votingprocess. When voting began, stu-dents had ten minutes to vote fromthe time they entered their passwordto access the voting program. Thetime was then increased to 15 min-utes.

The UA received quite a fewenthusiastic responses from studentsabout the electronic voting, Sharmasaid. Most were pleased with theconvenience it offered.

UTAVP do not begin their term untilMay, Tsao said she and Godfrey are"definitely going to be active settingplans in place, such as the calendarissue and food service."

In a telephone interview lastnight, Gastelum said, 'The issuesthat we raised are not going to goaway. We wish Mr. Godfrey luck,and challenge him to address thoseissues-all of them."

FinBoard, referenda resultsThis year's election also marked

the first time that four of the 16members of the UA Finance Boardwere selected in a general election.There were only four candidates -Edward M. Drozd '95, Bridget M.Hanser '95, Mike H. Joo '95, andLimit E. Kumcouglu '94 -- and theywere all elected.

The Student Life Fee proposalfailed in a close vote. Of the !815ballots, 44.6 percent were castagainst the fee and 42.3 percentwere in favor of it. Thirteen percentof the voters abstained.

All three questions of the non-binding free speech referendumwere overwhelmingly approved. Inthe first question, 76 percent of stu-dents agreed that MIT should guar-antee students the same freedom ofspeech that students at public uni-versities have, and 12 percent voted

"I have been enjoying [the work]quite a lot," said Roberto D. Almei-da '95, a City Days fellow and aLINKS volunteer who has beenworking at Graham and Parks and atHarrington Elementary. "I just real-ly enjoy working with kids." Almei-da arranged an after-schnool scienceprogram and is involved with teach-ing, developing demonstrations, andtaking students on field trips to theInstitute and the Museum of Sci-ence.

Almeida says he plans to applyfor the summer fellowship, and willbe a LINKS program coordinatornext year. He is already coordinat-ing the LINKS activities for hisbrothers at Phi Beta Epsilon.

The City Days program waslaunched during Residence/Orienta-tiorn Week last year, the result of acollaborative effort between MIT'sPublic Service Center, R/O Com-mifttee, IrUndergrradutP AndemnicAffairs Office, Office of Commntauni-t-tv Relations, and the School Depart-ment of the City of Cambridge.

MIT students cleaned up localelementary school playgrounds,repaired lights and did yard work.Cambridge fourth, fifth, and sixthgraders then visited the Institute toparticipate in laboratory tours, lec-tures, and scientific experiments.Approximately 2000 people partici-pated in these R/O activities.

The other City Days fellowsinclude Anup Bagaria '94, Ross R.Crowley '95, Brian C. I)avison '95,Grant K. Eiselen '93, Kathryn E.Howe '93, Francis K. Lee '93, BtynM. Mowry '95, Jee Y. Park '93,Brian B. Rose '93, Rohit Sakhuja'94,'Aafia Siddiqui '94, and LucyTsirulnik '93.

representative, said he doesn't "think there's a change in rules, just aheightened degree of enforcement." The GSC's primary goal, he said,is to "get the word out that the IRS is improving its collectionefforts," and to "make sure students are not hung out to dry."

GSC President Anand Mehta G agreed, adding that the GSC isnot, for the moment, playing an active role in this issue. However,this matter will be discussed at the next GSC meeting on March 18,he said.

Brown, who is also a member of the Committee on GraduateSchool Policy, where the matter has been raised, said the recent IRSexamination of Harvard had revealed enough students who had notreported fellowship income to make an MIT audit worthwhile. Theexcess tolerated in the Harvard case was $9,000, instead of the$2,000 threshold in today's summons, Brown added.

Perkins speculated that the reason for the discrepancy was thatHarvard's case was "early in the game," and that the IRIS is now fine-tuning its efforts.

Perkins and Crowley said MIT makes a strong effort to educatestudents about the tax laws, and writes tax guides for students, offersannual tax workshops, and provides information in the GraduateSchool Manual.

Perkins said he hopes this summons of student financial records"is a one shot deal." He said he would "prefer a clear-cut mechanismfor withholding" to make it easier for students to meet their tax oblig-ations. Perkins finds the "taxing of graduate students hard to under-stand," but said the graduate school would be "more aggressive ina"'sol"'""y Cln.3ig ',pa+.sdets tnv !i

tions" in the future.

Women's varsity gymnasticsteam Captain Julie Lyren '93 andJanet Sollod '96 both competed lastweekend at the Division III NationalGymnastics Championships held atthe University of Wisconsin. Lyrentook home two All-American titlesas she placed fourth overall in themeet with a score of 35.0 points andplaced fifth on the Balance Beamwith a 9.05 average score. Sollodhad an excellent showing in her firstnational meet and placed 13th over-all with a total of 33.25.

At the closing ceremonies of themeet, Lyren was named the Out-standing Senior Gymnast for 1993,an award voted on by the 16 Divi-sion Ill Coaches in attendance at themeet. Lyren's competitive gymnasticdays are not necessarily over yet asshe may have qualified into the Divi-sion 11 National Championships to beheld at Springfield College in April.

Balance beam, the toughestevent to stay focused on mentally,came at the end of the night for bothgymnasts. Past 9 p.m., Sollodworked confidently through hand-stands, straddle jumps, and a diffi-cult switch-leap combination, onlyto be the slightest edge off center onthe landing of a back-handspring.Despite the fall, Sollod wrapped upthe night with a solid score of 8.15.Lyren was as she has been all sea-son - solid as a rock on the balancebeam with a tuck-jump to immedi-ate back handspring, forwards, side-wards, and twisting leaps andjumps, and finally tumbling into around-off back-somersault dis-mount. Her score of 9.05 qualifiedher fbr the event finals which wereheld the next afternoon.

Saturday's finals competition didnot hold any disappointments forLyren. Overcoming the unluckydraw of performing last Lyren repeat-ed the performance of the day beforeand signed off on a "no falls all sea-son" career on the balance beamwith another excellent routine andscore of 9.05. Her combined score of18.1 from both day's meets earnedher thle second All-American spotand fifth place overall nationally.

tions that started the meet on thefloor exercise. Sollod had her bestroutine and highest score of the sea-son as she scored an 8.9 for an ener-getic and graceful performance.Lyren too, had one of her best scoresas she solidly landed a full-twistingback somersault in the layout posi-tion in her final tumbling run andscored a 9.2, just missing qualifica-tion for the floor exercise finals byonly five hundredths of a point.

Vaulting was the next event.Competition on this event was fiercebecause judges were deducting forthe slightest faltering on landingsand breaks in form. Sollod per-formed two tightly twisted hand-spring full-twists and scored 8.3.Lyren had an extra large step on herhalf twist on -one-and-a-half twistoff vault, but still earned an 8.65 forthe vault's height and distance.

Officiating on the uneven barswas a Breve level judge, fresh fromjudging the World Gymnastic Cham-pionships. As a result, bar scoresthroughout the meet were muchlower than usually seen at a NationalCollegiate Championship. In spite ofthis critical audience, Solled had thebest routine of her season and solidlylanded her one-and-a-half forwardsomersaulting dismount for a scoreof 7.9.

mance, but was pleased with theteam as a whole.

Rich Pietri '93 performed hisbest routine ever on the rings,finishing it with a double backdismount. This was the highpoint of the afternoon and wascapped off the most enjoyableand spirited team season he hashad in his gymnastics career atMIT, he said.

Chris Ellefson '95 felt thatthings had come together wellfor the team. New tricks wereperformed by several team mem-bers, for example, Ellefson'sdouble back dismount from thehigh bar and back-to-backstutzes (a forward release swingtwisting into a handstand) on theparallel bars.

The men's gymnastics teamcompleted their season at theNew England Championshipsthis past weekend at the Univer-sity of Massachusetts, Amherst.UMass edged Springfield for thetitle, but MIT overcame Dart-mouth for the second-to-lastposition. The Engineers werenevertheless pleased with theirperformances this past weekendand with the entire season as awhole.

of the season. They did not fall farbehind in January and were able topull together a winning record of12-10-1 with three straight, deci-sive victories in the end.

The first in a string of victoriescame against Boston University,when MIT completely dominatedthe game. The offense was in fullforce scoring nine goals and thedefense was solid as a rock withgoalie Jean Nam '93 taking homethe shutout. Susie Wee G's hattrick was accompanied by sologoals from Lisa Anderson, RachelObstler '92, Carol Boudreau '93,Meg O'Neill '93, Helen Greiner,and Amy Roschelle '93. It was astrong game for the women and itshowed in the 9-0 score.

MIT faced a little more formi-dable competition in their nextgame against Connecticut Col-

lege. Yolanda Leung '94 had twogoals in the game; one solo andone a tip off of a shot by Wee.Goalie, Allison MacKay G cap-tured the shutout as MIT defeatedConnecticut College 3-0.

The final victim of the seasonwas Harvard Business School.The Engineers sent the Crimsonhome with its tail draggingbetween its legs after a crushing9-1 defeat. Scoring for the Engi-neers were Anderson with a hattrick, Wee with two goals, andObstler, Greiner, Kate Sand '92,and Roschelle with solo goals.MacKay had a strong game ingoal and Anderson picked up sixpoints in the game with threegoals and three assists.

As February came to a close,so did the women's hockey sea-son. Last November, the teambegan with a rough start losingtheir first three games but theystuck together and pulled theirrecord up to .500 before Christ-mas break.

Illness and traveling for gamestook its toll on the team as thewomen struggled to maintain their.500 record, but fell short in thenew year finishing IndependentActivities Period with two morewins, four loses, and a tie.

One of the exciting aspects ofthe NCAA basketball tournament isthat by winning their conferences,teams from unknown schools fromsmall conferences get automaticbids to The Show to competeagainst the big boys. What we'd liketo see, however, is for these confer-ences to do away with the singleelimination tournaments that decidethe conference winner. Althoughthey are usually exciting (see theRider/Wagner thriller), and satisfyhoop junkies and ESPN executivesalike, they are not really fair. Take,for example, the Colonial AthleticConference, where powerhouseJames Madison was upset by i 3- i 6East Carolina in the final round ofthe conference tourney. JamesMadison, which had a fantasticyear,:11 l, w PiuOa +y no' _ g o

the NCAA's, while a team with alosing record which happened toplay well for four games in a row,gets to take its place. An injury to akey player on a good team or a slycoach on a lesser team who rests hisplayers during the season for theconference tournament could alsoforce this result. Why should a teamthat proves itself worthy over 25games have to risk its reputation anda tourney bid by playing some lesserteam with nothing to lose on a neu-tral court?

Best bets to make the Final Four:Indiana. The Hoosiers would

have been our pick to take it all untilAllan Henderson got hurt. His losswill hurt not only on the boards, butalso at the defensive end, as he fre-quently guards the opponent's top

inside scorer. Nevertheless, withThe General, Bobby "Puerto Rico"Knight, at the helm, and with Cal-bert Cheaney doing the shooting inthe clutch, the Boys from Bloom-ington ought to make it to the Cre-sent City.

Kentucky. Rick Pitino and the'Cats have yet to see a three pointerthey didn't like - a lot. With thisbeing the swan song of Jamal Mash-burn, who has already declared eli-gibility for the NBA draft, the bigfella will carry the team from the"other" commonwealth to the FinalFour, smelling the green of a possi-ble number one pick along the way.

Michigan. The Woiverines arelikely to be shipped out West, whereteams from the tougher part of thecountry have generally had success'see Se:ton SufixAl. Set. "ohin' s, a(11

Indiana), and where their toughestcompetition will be from overratedArizona and Utah. Since Indianaclinched the Big 10-and-a-half titleweeks ago, Michigan has been incruise control anticipating the BigShow. Chris Webber hasn't beenplaying well, but Howard and Jack-son have picked up their games.Eric Riley will be 100 percent, giv-ing the Harvard of the Midwestprobably the nation's best top seven.

North Carolina. The seniorclass at Chapel Hill was heralded 4years ago as the best freshman classin history, at least prior to the FabFive at UM, and it's time they pro-duced. Though UNC is the leastfavorite team of your humblescribes, Dean "Wermer" Smith hashis troops playing their best at themost opportune time of the season...

Next up is our list of sleeperteams, unheralded teams who maydo some damage to some of the bigboys:

Western Kentucky. The Hill-toppers have wins against NewOrleans and at Louisville in postinga 24-5 record, and they havealready won the Sun Belt Confer-ence tournament. Look for Darnell"Stand By" Mee to come up big.

Southern Illinois. The realSoloukis are peaking at the end ofthe season, as their pasting of Illi-nois St. in the Missouri Valley Con-ference tourney showed. A probable13th seed, they have the potential tosurprise a 4th seed in the first round.

Temple. Any Don Cheney teamthat comes out of the PhiladelphiaGym Wars of the Big 5 has a goodst.L L a:. advacu - hto the latter

rounds. Eric Brunson "Burner" fromSalem High School is a big timeplay maker because he is burdenedwith sharing the backcourt with VicKarstarfian. Aaron McKie was theAtlantic IO player of the year andthat could mean trouble for some ofthe other middle-seeded (7,8,9,10)teams.

Arkansas. We'll stick by ourpreseason prediction (the "Year ofArkansas," remember) and say thatthe Razorbacks will surprisingly getto the party on the Delta. NolanRichardson's team had a tough sea-son, but it was the first season in adifficult conference, the South-East-emr Conference. Look for opponentsto fall in the "40 minutes of Hell"brand of basketball played by theHogs...

by the conference during the regularseason. What other reason couldthey have for allowing Syracuse toparticipate in the tournament? TheOrangemrnen have been on suspen-sion this season for recruiting viola-tions and will not be permitted to gothe NCAA tourney, but by partici-pating in the Big East playoffs, theymay prevent an honest school frontgoing to The Show. Seton Hall andSt. John's should be locks to get tothe NCAA's, and, therefore, if Syra-cuse were to win the Big East andtake away an automatic bid for oneof these teams, a team "on the bub-ble" like Pitt, Providence, andUConn would probably lose an at-large bid to the NCAA's. Maybemaking the Big East tournament afree throw contest would ensure thatSyracuse departs in the first round... Let's Argue, Page 11
