The proposed regulations,which will be the subject ofpublic hearings in KendallSquare next month, wouldchange the primary method ofreducing automobile use fromsimply eliminating parkingspaces to forcing employers toprovide incentives to their em-ployees to use carpools or masstransit for commuting.

The MIT Parking Committee,which consists of representativesfrom the faculty, administrationand Campus Patrol, will bemeeting this week to determineMIT's response to the proposals,according to Reynolds Thomp-'son of the MIT Planning Office.

-Ml l, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1975

By Gerald RadackErgo, a newspaper published

at MIT, may lose its office onthe fourth floor of the StudentCenter.

The Association of StudentActivities (ASA), which is res-

.ponsible for giving office spaceto activities, is allowing otheractivities to apply for the spacenow used by Ergo because theASA Executive Committee isdissatisfied with the number ofMIT undergraduates on the ErgoStaff.

"The reason given is that Ergois not so much of an MITorganization as others mightbe," ASA Secretary Daniel C.Halbert '78 said.

There are currently five MITundergraduates on the Ergostaff, according to Warren S.Ross '75, co-editor of Ergo.There are also MIT alumni andgraduate students and Harvardstudents or alumni on the Ergostaff, making a total of about 12students.

"My feeling is that the bestoffices (those on the fourthfloor of the Student Center)should be used by the most

people," ASA President ForrestN. Krutter'75 explained:

Krutter said that the ASAExecutive Committee originallybegan investigating Ergo last fallafter receiving complaints thatErgo was not staffed by MITstudents and that the Ergo officewas never open.

Ross charged that the ASAExecutive Committee was on a"fishing expedition," attemptingto find something wrong withErgo. Krutter denied this,saying, that the ASA was simplyresponding to complaints. "Wehave nothing against Ergo,"Krutter said.

According to Ross, "ASAdoes not even corisder the factthat we reach thousands ofpeople a week as relevant." Henoted that 3,000 copies of Ergoare distributed at MIT eachweek, and added, "We've adjust-ed our circulation to meet whatwe consider to be the demand."

Krutter, however, stated that"the people who read it and thepeople who use that office arevery different."

Another reason the investiga-tion was begun, Krutter added,

By Mike McNameeThe freshman year at MIT,

long a focal point for educa-tional concern and reform, isgetting harder, with more workbeing expected of students andless latitude given in standardfreshman courses.

Interviews by The Tech ofinstructors and administratorsconcerned with first year stu-dents and their courses show atrend towards less latitude insubjects that were once self-paced, increased adherence todeadlines for work, and increas-ed pressure on students, takingplace this year.

While instructors say that theamount of material they expectstudents to learn has not increas-ed, increased emphasis on dead-lines and moves away fromself-paced study modes are be-lieved to be increasing academicpressure.

'"The freshman year has tight-ened up considerably this year,"Associate Dean for StudentAffairs Peter Buttner told TheTech. "There are higher expecta-tions that work be done, and lesstolerance oi lateness. There's a

lot .less latitude for students."

Buttner, who heads theFreshman Advisory Council, saidthat he did not believe that morematerial is being taught incourses. "I wouldn't say thatquizzes are harder or that morematerial is given, but I knowdeadlines are tighter," Buttnersaid.

Freshman courses apparentlyhave become stricter in the lasttwo years. Introductory physicscourses 8.01 and 8.02, usuallytaken by about half of thefreshman class, have switchedfrom the self-paced mode usedin 1972-73 to a "traditional"mode, with required homeworkand quizzes replacing looselyscheduled quizzes taken at thestudent's convenience. Freshmancalculus (18.01-18.O2), whilenot abandoning the self-pacedmode entirely, has modified itsstructure to a "semi-self-paced"course - deadlines are extablish-ed and enforced for completionof quizzes, with penalties forlate students - which onelecturer described as "self-pacedwith prizes and carrots."

The reasons for the increased

pressure and academic emphasesare not clear. Buttner describedthe situation as "faculty reactionto the events of the last fewyears," aimed at tightening upthe educational reforms whichcame after the student-activistdays of the early 1970s. "Talk-ing to the faculty, I got the sense

By Janet FreemanOne trekkie can be trying.

Two trekkies can be obnoxious.But take over 8,000 trekkies,mix them with their favoritestars and Star Trek episodes, adda dash of general science fictionin the form ofartwork, films,and commercial items, and youessentially have "The Star TrekConvention," an event whichstruck the Commodore Hotel indowntown Manhattan, NewYork City, over the Washing-ton's Birthday weekend.

For four days (February14-17), a turn-away crowd oftrekkies was allowed to mingle,without harrassment, whileimmersing themselves in theirfavorite world. As a member ofthis not-rare-enough breed ofpeople, I pre-registered monthsin advance in order to attend theCon, as the convention is knownto its members. When I arrived, I

received the standard registra-tion packet, consisting of aprogram, a brochure with fanclub and magazine listings andplus color pictures taken fromthe show, and the trivia contest,all presented to each of us in apowder blue plastic bag printedwith pictures of Kirk and Speck.(Ever seen an ST (Star Trek)trivia contest? A sample ques-tion: Gary Seven's (a 'characterin one episode) office waslocated at a) 68 W 81st Street,b) 811 East 68th Street, c) 118East 68 Street. Good luck!)

Most people then proceededto the Grand Ballroom, the focalpoint of the convention. Imaginesitting in a gargantuan ballroomcrammed shoulder to shoulderwith a SRO crowd to watch fourhours of science fiction-orientedfilms, and you've got the idea.That ballroom was constantlypacked despite who or what wasbeing presented at the time.Friday night I sat through a"Star Trek anthology," the TVmovie Planet Earth, two ani-mated ST shows, and one ST

On the other hand, severalfaculty members said they sawincreased student attention tostudying and academics as themain reason for the increasedpressure '"Where some mightdetect increased faculty pres-sure, I would say I see increasedseriousness on the part ofstudents - all students, not justfreshman," Dean Robert Albertyof the School of Science told TheTech. "There seems to be afeeling that life is in earnest, thateducation is important, and thatthey are here to learn."

Alberty said that he felt theincrease in student seriousnesswas being . largely "self-generated." "It's being generatedwithin the students, but it's aresult of a lot of things," Albertysaid. "The world as a wholeseems to be more serious tostudents now."

serious'g hardertraditional mode - they like the'strait-jacket' course better thanthe self-paced," she said. Classattendance is up, and failures in8.01 have dropped from about10 per cent of the studentstaking the course in 1972 toabout 6 per cent of last fall's8.01 students.

Upperclass electives taken byfreshmen came under fire fromsome faculty, who felt that suchcourses tended to draw a stu-dent's time from his corecourses. Computation courses,which are popular freshmanelectives, were cited as taking"as much as twice the time theyadvertise for in the catalogue."

Buttner, for exampIe, saidthat the problem with computercourses was becoming acute."The slack is gone from othercourses, so there is no way astudent can make up for atime-consuming computercourse now," he said.

Teachers of computercourses, on the other hand, saidthey tried to keep their courses"honest." "We here in electricalengineering are aware of theproblem, and try to keep it incontrol," Professor Fernando J.Corbato, Associate Head of theDepartment of Electrical Engi-neering, said. "There is a con-scious effort to correct ratings."

No steps plannedThe freshman year has been a

matter of concern at MIT since1970, when freshman Pass/Failgrading was first established.That reform, modified through-out the years, has been themajor tool used to try to reducepressure on first year students,and to ease their transition tothe MIT environment.

The effectiveness of Pass/Failin meeting this goal, however isnot clear. With increased empha-sis on highly competitive profes-sional schools -especially medi-cal and law schools - forgraduate training, many studentsseem to be under as muchpressure as they would' be ongrades.

Buttner said he did notanticipate any formal actions.orreforms to lighten the increasedfreshman load. A faculty' com-mittee is monitoring freshmanPass/Fail with emphasis on possi-ble future changes. "I'm not tooconcerned yet, but the situationdefinitely bears watching," thedean said. "I have a feeling thatthere isn't a whole lot of slack inthe system."

Brock is generally confidentthat the estimated $6 -millionrequired for the MIT complexwill be raised. "Presently, muchof the initial funding work isbeing_ done by the AthleticSponsoring Committe," henoted. "They are now in theprocess of identitying prospec-tive donors."

The committee, a group of"12 or 15 persons," was organ-ized last June to coordinatefunding programs for the center.They are currently engaged infinding people willing to contrib-ute to the project, especiallythose who are not MIT alumni."We know who the alumni are,"Brock explained, "but we maynot know who other potentialdonors are and we can't affordto overlook them."

Although he acknowledgedthat there will inevitably becontributions from corporateand other sources, he maintainedthat the majority of outsidecontributions will be from indi-viduals. "glost of these vitalfunds will come from individualsources," Brock asserted, "andmost of these sources, will in alllikelihood, be MIT alumni."

Brock expects full-scaleaction by the committee tobegin shortly, although he didacknowledge that current thrustsin the funding area were of alimited nature. Professor Ross H.Smith, Head of the MIT AthleticDepartment, confirmed this bycharacterizing present efforts as"in a hiatus."

Despite these qualifications,both Brock and Smith assertthat definite plans are beingmade, and that funding effortsfor the athletic center will "gearup" in the immediate future. OFiN Atom*~ IIVV§

By Michael McNamneeDon't look now, but two

decisions are going to be madetoday or tomorrow which aregoing to have a lot to do withwhat MIT is doing, and whatMIT is like, five years from now.

The Academic Council willmeet today to put the finalpolish on the decision on nextyear's freshman class size and onthe equity level for studentfinancial aid. Each of thesedecisions will probably come asa surprise to the majority of theMIT community - and theeffect of the two together isgoing to be profound, both inthe near future and over the longrun.

The largest increases in classsize and equity level in recentmemory - if not the largestincreases ever - will probably beannounced this week. The sizeof the Class of 1979 is expectedto be between 1100 and 1150students - 100 to 150 morethan the class of 1978 - andadministration officials are pre-dicting that the equity level willrise to more than $2200 nextyear - compared to the present$1750.

Each of these decisions isbased on deep concerns withinthe administration about MIT'sfuture. Each represents possiblechanges in MIT policies whichcould be devastating in theirimpact.

The class size decision, forexample, reflects an admini-stration decision to increase thesize of the undergraduate stu-dent body by 300 to 400students over the next severalyears. MIT's budgetary problemsare forcing basic considerationof more and more drastic movesto increase the efficiency of theInstitute's operations, and in-creasing the size of the under-graduate population is seen as animportant step towards acade-mic efficiency.

On the other. hand, theincrease in equity level - athelevel of need a student musthave before he receives scholar-ship or grant aid from MIT -Has been more or less forced onthe Institute by a number offactors: changes in need analysis,budgetary problems, Federalmoves on loan and grant pro-grams, to name a few. The risewill have the effect of limitingMIT's flexibility in grantingfinancial aid, and will throw alarge degree of uncertainty intothe admissions for next years'freshmen.

Studying the effectsThe effect on admissions is

only one of the uncertaintiescaused by the combination ofthese two increases next year,but it is one that concerns theadministration most. Increasing

of a 100-150 student increase byitself would be no problem,according to Director of Admis-sion Peter Richardson; but. theequity increase, combined withMIT's traditional financial aidplanning for freshmen has madethe Admissions Office somewhatnervous. (MIT's financial aidofferings, being based stronglyon jobs and loans rather thangrants, are thought to causeMIT's low "Yield" of admittedstudents who enter the Institute.Most schools in MIT's class usemore grant funds in financial aidthe MIT does.) Currently, admis-sions officials are aiming for ayield of 45 to 55 per cent -compared to last year's 53 percent.

Housing, a perennial questionin class size decision, is also animportant short-term issue. Theadministration, hoping to com-plete half of the new WestCampus dorm by September hasdecided that housing will beadequate for the increase in nextyear's class. If the dorm isn'tcompleted on time, interimarrangements will have to bemade to house incoming fresh-men, but the administrationapparently believes the dormwill be completed.

by a statement made by BarbMoore in her article, "More var-sity teams: a question of qual-ity," in the Februaiy 14 issue ofThe Tech. With regard to therecent women's basketball tour-nament, she said: "The originalplan was to promote the role ofwomen, through women's athel-tics, at schools traditionally con-sidered 'male' or 'intellectual.'"

The administration also re-portedly has discussed a numberof ideas which would make thestudents bear the burden of thebudgetary crisis: splitting admis-sions of undergraduates betweenSeptember and February, takingaway current guarantees of four-year housing for dorm residents,removing the guarantee of finan-cial aid for all students who haveneed, and other - plans. Theseissues, too, involve philosophicaldecisions which must be con-sidered.

The immediate decisions tobe made this week are nearlycompleted; there is little hope ofinfluencing them now. But theadministration should take noteof the lbnger-range implicationsinherent in their actions, andshould invite a broader debate,especially involving students(who have the most to lose),before it is too late to correctthe changes that will be makingthemselves felt in the years tocome.

Who cares?Those who ignore h/stories mistakes aredestined to repeat them. Articles in the-newspaper will eventually have a greaterhistorical perspective because of the index.Use of the newspaper as an historicalreference will'be easier- when theindex is done- for alumni andhistorians

Nmow wvhat?Hand-in-hand with making available thecomplete back issues of The Tech goesthe project of making the informationin them more accessible. As it is now,one has to know the precise date of anevent in order to find it. To find topics,students, particular persons or teams is anearly impossible task. Members of thenewspaper staff are now creating a computercomputer-aided index (OK, the computerjust a/phabetizes everything). It will haveabout I _miflion entries, and may cost asmuch as W4,000. When it's-done, it willbe seven feet high, and. will make it possibleto look up people and topics in any issuesfrom 1881 to the present. Once the catch-up work is done, the board will maintq7inthe index.

The Pitch .,,So far, the Provost's Office and generousformer board members of The Tech haveprovided $4,000 for indexing. With federalmatching grants, we have gotten about$8,000 worth of work on the index. Wehave a long way to go.

No one could afford to micro-film the back issues. So the newsprint,and the story it told, slowly deteriorated.For some time, only the archives had acomplete set - and because the materialwas archival, access to it was limited.

With generous help from the InstituteArchives and a grant from the ActivitiesDevelopment Board, which funds studentscapita/ projects, The Tech pitched inwith times people and money and finishedmicrofilming every issue from 1881 -tothe end-of Volume 94 (this January.).The Archives hold the master and haveone copy.

Queen's three discs - chronologically,!een,. Queen II, and Sheer Heart A ttackith a. solely promotional tape sand-:hed between the last two) - have)remely accomplished their decidedlyividual goals. The debut album intro-ced the band as a multi-faceted forcebe reckoned with, able to dazzle with; pure layered energy of "Liar," theneel about and open the next song,he Night Comes D)own," with a fragile

diversified band than they were wont toreveal at the Orpheum - even precisionperformances weren't able to compensatefor what was lost in extracting high-power numbers like "Flick Of The Wrist"and "Now I'm Here" from the thematicand musical unity of their presentationon Sheer Heart Attack, and therebywatering down the brilliance of thewhole.

Nevertheless, such complaining is vir-tual quibbling when considering just howfar above the current standard of rockmusic Queen stands - the Boston encorewas a reminder of what they are capableof doing. Vanishing back into thedarkness and smoke as exploding flarestnc their majestic set-closer, "In The LapOf The Gods. .. revisited," Queen returnsmoments later with a pummeling, lea-thery, and macho/butch rendering of"Big Spender," only to slide into"Modem Times Rock 'n' Roll" and thenraze everyone with the definitive perfor-mance of Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock."

As the Elektra ads say - rock in theroyal tradition; there's a bit of regalpretentiousness and self-aggrandizement,perhaps, but the rock 'n' roll transcendssuch critical regicide. As they say, longlive Queen.

Discography:

Queen (Elektra EKS-75064)Queen II (Elektra EKS-75082)Sheer Heart A track (Elektra 7E-1026)

is, in its absence, one of the majorcomplaints that can be leveled againstQueen's live show. Perhaps it was becausetheir concert a week ago last Saturday atthe Orpheum was their first appearance inBoston (after an earlier co-billing withMott the Hoople was scratched at the lastminute when it turned out that BrianMay had contracted hepatitis), but one ofthe unsettling undercurrents which keptan immensely enjoyable concert 'frombeing categorized as great was a feelingthat Queen was simply trying too hard.

Most of the more varied numbers wereleft out live, replaced by a continuoussort of bombast, numbing and one-dimensional in the extreme. Multiplied bysome of Freddie Mercury's mannerisms -ranging from the fact of his ad-libs beingidentical from first to second set to hisrather overbearing and cloying arrogance(the attitude of someone who has theaudience in the palm of his hand, tellsthem so, and then doesn't know what todo with them) - such an example ofmusical overachieving and ultimate over-kill wound up not eliciting the expectedresponse. The somewhat jaded Bostoncrowd didn't exactly sit on its collectivehands, but neither did it rush totouch Mercury's satin jumpsuit.

Truly, such a focus on a single-level ofenergy, with only songs (particularlythose from Queen II) like "White Queen"breaking from the mold, did Queen aterrible disservice. They are a far better,more talented, and far more stunningly

acoustic guitar run - all the whilemelding melodic metal with visceralvocals,and shimmering harmonies withrichly overdubbed guitars. Queen II, atfirst a dense and inaccessible concepteffort, opens up with time to reveal someof Queen's best work. The black/whitesymbolism of Queen [I is less than acomplete success, but the fantastic flavorof numbers like "Ogre Battle" redeemsmany of the drawbacks of a project thatthe band may simply have needed to "getout of its system."

Sheer Heart Attack, released justbefore Thanksgiving last year, reaffirmsthe amazing versatility of Queen butprovides room for them to expand uponand progress from the themes of theearlier records - the overall effect being avery cohesive album and a demonstrationof just how good Queen is within thecontext of modern rock. The band nowdisplays an even wider array of writingtalents - Taylor contributed the power-ful "Tenement Funster;" Deacon added"Nisfire;" May's "She Makes Me (storm-trooper in stillettoes)" is possibly thealbum's high point; Mercury's "KillerQueen" is the hit single that broke out ofBoston; and the whole band shareswriting credits on the rampaging "StoneCold Crazy."

Yet oddly enough, one of the group'sstrong points - the dynamic interplaybetween and within songs and thejuxtaposition of heavy, bashing numberswith lighter, relatively frail pop tunes -.. .. .. £

Heavy Metal -or Lukewarm Fuzz?

by Neal Vitale

Stormbringer - Deep Purple (WarnerBros. PR-2832)Hotter Than Hell - Kiss (CasablancaNBLP-7006)Paper Money - Montrose (Warner Bros.BS-2823)'Rampant - Nazareth (A&M SP-3641)Quo - Status Quo (A&M SP-3649)

While it's a moot point as to whetheror not heavy-metal is what the recordbusiness/record-buying public/worldwants at this juncture, there are stillbands that do it better than others. Ofthe five under consideration, Nazarethtakes top honors.

Deep Purple is the saddest case of thelot - as on their previous album Burn,the loss of Ian Gillan has caused a mostglaring problem; namely, not having anadequately distinctive vocalist to carryDP's otherwise rather excessive musicalenterprises. An equal, if less obvious, sorespot stems from Ritchie Blackmore'sassuming more of a role in shaping theband's musical direction - along withnewcomers David Coverdale and GlennHughes, he's taken Deet Purple into anincreasingly regurgitative blues stance.The result is one incredibly long dropfrom the group's peak some four albums

earlier on Machine Head.Quo is not much better. Basically a

heavy boogie band, which had. a hit with"Pictures Of Matchstick Men" manyrecords, styles, and years ago, Status Quohas learned at least one,' possibly two,new chords for this album. Unfortu-nately; at best that raises their total tofive. Groups like Status. Quo' maceold-timers such as the Seeds soundinnovative.

Live, Kiss relies on its outrageousmake-up and stage presentation to satisfya crowd; on record, there are no visuals.Hotter Than Hell is therefore-more of thesame lukewarm fuzz; perhaps a bit moremetallic, certainly no more imaginativethan anything from the Deep Purple orStatus Quo ranks. (The cover of HotterThan Hell, with its Japanese motif andNorman Seeff photography, is the onepoint in this record's favor.)

With Montrose, though, the entiregenre is improved by the mere addition ofvariety. Paper Money is the second albumrecorded by Ronnie Montrose and band(albeit with a new bassist) since that'guitarist split from Edgar Winter's WhiteTrash; admittedly, . the record featuressome inspired guitar-playing as well assome soft acoustic numbers (like the old'

Kiss

Stones song, "Connection"). Unfortu-- nately, Montrose's approach is one of -allor nothing -- either they play catatonicand stuporific heavy metal or they playslow and soft ballads, with no particularconcern for a middle ground withgradations of the two extremes. Thus,everything Montrose does sounds likeeither "I Got The Fire," "Paper Money,""lnderground," and '"The Dreamer," or"Connection," "We're Going Home," and"Spaceage Sacrifice." While better thanthe almost mindless attitude of most hard

Status Quo Nazareth

-rock, Paper Money hardly makes forintriguing listening.

Nazareth is the one group of the lotwhich does manage to make it allworthwhile. Rampant, its fifth album,breaks out of the semi-rut into which theband had fallen; that is, of being a covergroup. To date, Nazareth's single bestsong had been a killer version of JolniMitchell's "This Flight Tonight," fol-lowed closely by a rampaging perfor-mance of Little Feat's "Teenage NervousBreakdown" (both cuts from Nazareth'sprevious record, Loud 'n' Proud). Butproducer Roger Glover (ex-bassist forDeep Purple) has brought the band toMontreux, Switzerland to record'at theRolling Stones Mobile Unit, in a movequite akin to how Deep Purple's breakoutalbum, Machine Head, was recorded. ForNazareth, Rampant (if the group evertours the States) could have a similareffect.

Starting with the churning "SilverDollar Forger," this band of Scotsmenand a Canadian shows that, not only canthey play heavy metal with the best, butthat they can do a straight-ahead rock 'n'roll song ("Glad When You're Gone"),English blues/rock ("Loved -and Lost"),pseudo-psychedelia ("Light My Way"),and even a slow love song. ("Sun-Shine"),plus a nominal (and unspectac-ular) cover of the Yardbirds' "Shapes OfThings." Nazareth moves easily among avariety of styles and arrangements,maintaining a diversity which offsets thesimilarity with which vocalist DonMcCafferty sings all their tunes. Luckily,McCafferty's voice is particularly distinc-tive and strained, and some of Nazareth'smore pop-styled- vocal arrangements andtastefully flashy and different instru-mentals keep Rampant from treading thesame road as Stormbringer, Quo, HotterThan Hell, and Paper Money andvanishing quickly into heavy metalmediocrity and quaaluded same-ness/obscurity.

by Bob ReinaMany of today's jazz greats are

expanding (some call it prostituting) theirmusical ideas in an effort to reach awider, younger audience. The overallresult has been a polarization of jazzafficionados into two groups: those thatabhor the new "crass commercialism"and religiously listen to the olderrecordings; and the appreciative group ofyoung people who feel the jazz meta-morphosis is saving them from thedownfall of rock. However, last Sundayat Symphony Hall, Herbie Hancockdemonstrated that both audiences couldbe satisfied with a single concert.

The concert opened with a short setby Stanton Davis' Ghetto MysticismBand. Although they have been playingquite often in second-rate Boston clubs,the act was relatively unknown to"big-name" concert fans. Stanton Davisplays fluegelhorn and leads a bandconsisting of sax, piano, bass, percussion,and drums. Their music establishesdriving rhythms and spacey -mellowbackgrounds, and the weaving hornmelodies are quite reminiscent of WeatherReport. This fine jazz band certainlydeserves wider recognition.

I was a bit surprised when, expectingthe Hancock electric band to emerge, instead was faced with Herbie seated at

the grand piano sans backup band. Theaudience immediately recognized theopening chords of "Maiden Voyage" andHancock performed a beautiful, loosearrangement. He was soon joined by therest of the group (Bennie Maupin, reeds;Paul Jackson, bass; Bill Summers, percus-sion; and Mike Clark, drums) and arefreshingly different acoustic arrange-ment of "Actual Proof" followed.

Hancock then assumed- the role ofgrand master of ceremonies during theequipment change. Thanking the 600,000people who purchased the Headhuntersalbum, he introduced his backup band(also called "The Headhunters") to dotheir own pieces. With four-part harmo-nies on a chant of "God made mefunky!", it was strictly Top 40. It shouldbe noted that for this commercialinterlude a guitarist was added - a shortfellow, looking. about fourteen, emergedwearing glittery black fur pants and amulticolored satin shirt. The man wasintroduced as "Blackbird" and his clothesweren't nearly as impressive as the elevenor twelve electronic distortion devices hehad connected to his guitar. Unfor-tunately, he used them all the time, andhis background chords resembled thesound of scraping a physics professoralong a barbed wire fence. When it was

time for his solo, he stepped on four orfive pedals and a barrage of noise burstforth. i could have sworn that he stoppedplaying for a moment and the guitar keptgoing. The sound didn't improve when hebegan to play with his teeth, either.(Sorry, Mr. Blackbird, Jimi Hendrix isdead and will stay that way.)

After a brief intermission during whichthey rolled out Herbie's electronicchariot, Hancock and the bind began intheir current funky style with brilliantrenditions of "Spank-a-lee," "Sly," andthe beautiful "Butterfly." The band wasin top form and seemed much morecreative than they were in the recordedformat, yet the music never lost,coher-ence for a second. Hancock playedmostly Rhodes piano and Clavinet, anddidn't solo on the synthesizer until thefinal piece, "Chameleon."

Unfortunately, the ending of this songwas the low point of the concert.Hancock used a different synthesizer forhis solo -and wheeled it up to the front ofthe stage as he played. After tilting thekeyboard up so the audience could see hishands, he left the synthesizer hissing abarely audible white noise as he creptaway to the other side of the stage withhis hands in the air. Waving his hands likemagic wands, the synthesizer began- to

squeal at his command. (-Aciually thismagic show was created by a wah-wahpedal hidden behind the mbonitorspeaker.) In a similar fashion, Hancockcommanded each musician in the band tosqueal as the torrent of noise grew. In hisfinal act of sorcery, he waved once moreand triggered two blinding flashes of light,an explosion, and a smoke bomb as thestage went dark. The local urchins, whomade up a large part of the audience,loved it. With a nameless encore (and asubdued Blackbird on guitar), HerbieHancock completed his well-roundedshow. -Discography (excluding "Best Of. ."records and compilations): - -

From the beginning, Alan Resnais'Stavisky is a film of intricacy anddelicacy, of intensity and sensitivity. It isa difficult film but a moving one;-it neednot be fully understood to be apprec-ated.

It opens into a pale world of pastelcolors, fragile buildings, and a feeling assilent as falling snow. The backgroundmusic is rhythmic, lulling. Are wewatching someone else's dream? But thequiet is-just a little disquieting, the beat abit too heavy. We areina dream of sorts,but it is the ultimate: a dream of death.

Stavisky is nominally the story of "ascandal that rocked France" in the1930's. Serge Alexandre (Jean- PaulBelmondo), formerly Alexandre Stavisky,a petty, con--artist, is. a powerfulwheeler-dealer, gambler, and entrepeneur.With half the police and politicians on hispad, he is able to defraud the governmentwith a simple-minded scheme. He iseventually exposed, leading to the de-struction of the Alexandre empire andnear civil war in France.9

These are the facts of the case, butthey are nearly incidental to the film.Resnais gives us a portrait of a man sopreoccupied, consciously and uncon-ciously, with the concept of death that-iteffects every facet of his life. It is notsurprising that Alexandre is so concerned;his father's suicide, one of many in thefamily, was inspired by his son's firstarrest. But we see that Stavisky/A14exandre is, in a sense, a dead man himself.He is a classic example of a splitpersonality. "Get that small-time conman out of my life," he says, referring tohis younger self, Stavisky. He is SergeAlexandre now, the rich, the powerful.Stavisky died in prison.

The living cannot escape his fate. Hethinks of himself as a ghost; he wryly asksto read the part of a spectre- in anaudition of Giraudoux's Intermezzo. Hesurrounds himself with symbols of life:flowers, glistening jewels, women. But heis rejected by all but the most shallow of

women, and his flowers are, strikingly,bone-white roses. The power and moneyhe craves are just things to throw in thefaces-of the -living. When he cuts himself,he bleeds a pale, pale pink.

Alexandre is destroyed in the end, butperhaps it is in death, his own element,that he is most powerful. The scandalwhich follows causes the ruling leftistcoalition to lose control. of the nation.Shock at the acts of the Russian-Jewishemigre Stavisky results in a wave of.feeling cumulating in the expulsion fromFrance of his "compatriot," LeonTrotsky - Resnais' embodiment of living,vibrant humanity. Alexandre's death ismore than just the demise of a singleman. He is, perhaps, a harbinger ofcoming war.

Alain Resnais- has filled the film withdelicate symbols of death: candelabra in adarkened room; a sepulchre reclined uponby Stavisky as if it were a hammock;snow; the white roses. Scenes andcharacters often seem paler than ex-pected, for Resnais sees the color ofdeath as white, not black. The visions ofthe director are depressing, but neveroverbearing. His technique is intricate andfascinating, full of silent, staccato flash-backs, distorted mirror images, and adistancing from the flow of time that isstrangely appropriate in this supposedlyhistorical movie. A film that is bothdepressing and complicated could beexpected to be tiresome, but Stavisky_ israrely anything but gripping and power-ful.

Belmondo excels in his classic role:charming, sure of himself, but somehowbewildered by his own motivations, aswell as those of others. Charles Boyer iscompetent as Alexandre's naive buttrusted friend, Baron Raoul, AnnyDuperey, as Stavisky's wife Arlette, haslittle to say; her pale beauty, however,

-highlighted by scarlet lips, adds to thedeathlike atmosphere.

disturbing film, andmarriage to Nick (Peter Falk), thestridency of the filming amplifies themental chaos. Yet in terms of charac-terization, the same grating qualityobscures what does develop, particularlyin the characters of Nick and Mabel.

Similarly, excellent performances byRowlands and Falk are lost, if not quiteso completely; the rest of the cast, drawngreatly from the Cassavetes family andthe Cassavetes/Rowlands/Falk axis offriends, contribute competent acting jobs(especially Mabel's father, Fred Draper).A Woman, thanks somewhat, to the factthat Cassavetes and Rowlands are real-life-husband and wife, is another in a smallnew breed of films with major woman'sroles - Rowlands does the part morethan justice, but the film cannot returnthe favor.

John Cassavetes has set his sights highwith A Woman Under The Influence -the issue he is wrestling with is by nomeans a simple one. The potential isthere, and, for sure, a measure of the rolereevaluation that he attempts to initiate(notably for men, and not just women, ina relationship) does succeed. Sadly, thevehicle of the -film itself weakens thepossible cathartic effect of just such anemotional/sexual/ro mantic confrontationand challenge; because the movie fails toprovide the necessary and desired insight,and in turn fails to spark viewerintrospection, is the truly disappointingaspect of A Women Under The Influence.

At the Cheri Complex.

ficult one to watch. Though director andwriter John Cassavetes' intentions maywell have been to create a portrait of anAmerican marriage that was indeedincisive and disquieting in its revelations,A Woman is distressing more in its failingsthan in its successes.

Cassavetes' style has long been to paintgraphic, often harsh, renderings of themore intimate social contacts of life - inthe process, providing an attention andfocus on matters that far too frequentlyare ignored. Such was the case withHusbands, and before that, Faces andShadows. Unfortunately, the very con-cerns that Cassevretes deals with, and therather arduous and rambling film-makingtechnique he employs, tend to workagainst each other. In what has beencalled an -"undisciplined" manner ofletting scenes run on seemingly inter-minably and editing/cutting most spa-ringly, Cassavetes shifts an audience'sattention away from a film's content andtoward a conscious realization of justhow grating and irritating is the presenta-tion.

Possibly, in the case of A WomanUnder The Influence, such a reaction isan expected one, calculated to magnifythe unsettling nature of the theme of themovie. Certainly, as Mable Longhetti(Gena Rowlands) is portrayed as awoman going crazy because of the stiflingconfines of her (nominally blue-collar)

If there were any lingering doubts asto whether Wendy Waldman had suc-cessfully established herself as a veryindividual songwriting/performing talent(quite apart from her stint contributing"Vaudeville Man" and '"Mad, Mad Me" toMaria Muldaur's debut solo album), lastweek's string of sell-out performances atPassim's dissolved them all. Ac-companying herself on dulcimer, acousticguitar, and piano, Wendy premieredseveral cuts from her soon-to-be-releasedthird record (following Love Has Got Meand Gypsy Symphony), backed by bassistPeter Bernstein and drummerBob Mason.Judging from her live and recorded work,it may well be that Wendy Waldman hastopped even her one-time benefactor, Ms.Muldaur, in distaff folk circles; she's littleshort of sensational.

Since sonic impact is so important toCarmina Burana's effect, recorded soundmust have a high priority in the choice ofa version to purchase. Each of these fourhas a slightly different character. TheAngel has great solidity and impact, butthe high frequencies don't reproduce ascleanly and transparently as the others-perhaps due to the age of the recording orto the American Angel propensity towardadded reverberation and mud. DeutscheGrammophon's sound is open, butsomewhat inclined toward unfortunatespotlighting of individual voices in thechorus and afflicted with higher distor-tion than the more recent recordings(RCA and Columbia). RCA's sound forOzawa is superb, with a most satisfactorybalance between transparency and soli-dity. The new Columbia recording,though it doesn't lack for gut4evel sonicimpact, is even more clear-instrumentsand lines that are inaudible on the otherrecords (and indeed in live performances)are brought out.

Players will join with Messiaen on Sundayevening at 7:30 in Jordan Hall to presentthe remarkable Quartet for the end oftime, and Messiaen and his wife will playthe duo-piano Visionb de 'Amen on thesame program. The Quartet was writtenin a German prison camp during theSecond World War, and first performedby the composer with three of his fellowinmates there in 1941.

Messiaen's definition of Amen is aboutas pretentious and incomprehensible asthat for Turangalila, but in general thepiece is related to four varieties ofreligious praise and thanksgiving asexpressed in seven "visions".

Though Turangalila may be hard tounderstand, it is certainly a stunningsonic experience, blending as it. doesmammoth orchestral sonorities andgossamer-thin textures with a remarkablesense for orchestral timbre and color.This is a rare opportunity to hear it in liveperformance (there is a recording avail-able on RCA, conducted by Ozawa), andit should not be missed.

The Quartet and the Visions are bothsomewhat more common, both on recordand in live concert, but these should be asnear to definitive performances as pos-sible and well worth the trip.

It was felt that they werelargely responsible for their'boat's fine finish. After the race,all the crews from the threeschools got together in a nmorefriendly and relaxed atmosphere.since everyone had representa-tives in each boat.

With only nine women on thetrip, one of them had to be usedas a coxswain for each workout.On occasion, Tom Strat '77 tooka third practice. The womenconcentrated on long distance

rowing and some running. Build-ing endurance and improvingrowing techniques were stressed.Hopefully these goals will beshown to have been achievedwhen the racing season begins inApril.

It was necessary -for DianeMcKnight '75, to switch sides,which many oarspeople finddifficult to do. She did well inmaking the adjustment. GigiPotter '77, made enormous pro-gress in developing better style.

The women also rowed a racein mixed crews. This was not assuccessful as the men's due tothe ineptitude of their Forida'counterparts.

The varsity lightweights tooka somewhat different approachto their training. After a fewdays, Coach Miller formed whatwas close to being a varsity. Thiscrew was stroked by JoelGoodrich '75, the lightweightcaptain, and appeared. to havethe best style of any boat rowingon the Indian River.

The second lightweight crewwas composed primarily of menwith less experience. They tookon the FIT freshmen and wonabout half of the races. Amarathon coxing effort was putin by freshman Bob Clarke whowas on the water for fourpractices daily.

One sport that receives very little notice at MITis fencing. Despite MIT's fourth place finish in lastyear's NCAA tournament, attention is seldomgiverf to the Institute's strongest winter sportsteam.

This year, despite losing its first three matches,the Engineer fencing team has built up anexcellent record by winning eleven consecutivemeets.

MIT's foil team of Rich Reimer '77, ArlieSterling '77, and Mark Smith '78 has been thestrongest of the three weapon teams (foil, epee,and saber), going through the season almostunbeaten'. Smith, given the difficult task ofreplacing 1974 IFA champion Johart Akerman(who was inducted into the Swedish Army), hasperformed admirably as MIT's foilsmen havenonetheless maintained their high nationalstanding.

Also outstanding for the fencers have been HoltFarley '75 in saber, and Robert Chin '77 andcaptain Dong Park '7 5 in epee.

MIT faces Brancteis tonight before journeyingto Boston College Saturday in quest of its sixthconsecutive New England fencing championship.

In intramural action, Lambda Chi Alpha willdefend its A-league hockey title Thursday'nightagainst FIJI/Baker at 9:15pm. Both squads

finished the regular season with 5-1 records. LCAtook the first meeting between the teams, 2-0, butFIJI/Baker came back to trounce them 4-0Tuesday night to set up the championship playoff.

While I'm on the subject of hockey, the MIT JVhockey team recorded its first win of the seasonSaturday afternoon, edging Emerson, 4-3. ItaloSpiridigliozzi '78 scored two goals to lead theEngineer effort, including what proved to be tb.egame-winner atS:56 of the final period.

The MIT varsity, winless in 13 games thisseason, meets Tufts in the final game of the yeartonight at the Skating Rink at 7:00.

Not all hockey at MIT is intramural orintercollegiate. Each winter, four teams composedof undergraduate and graduate students, staff, andfaculty compete in the MIT Community HockeyLeague. Thursday night, MAC defeated HABS 3-2in overtime to win the Community League crownfor the second year in a row.

A Terry Copeland G goal in the first minute ofsudden death overtime completed a comeback winfor MAC, which had trailed twice earlier in thegame.

Murray too strong, Er.By Erland van Lidth de Jeude

We knew that the heavy-weight division in the NewEngland wrestling tournamentwould be tough this year. Lastyear's top four placewinners

.-re back and wrestling withanother year's experience. Theywere, in the order they finishedlast year. Jim Murray of CoastGuard (220 lbs), myself (340lbs), Tim Smith of Springfield(245 lbs), and Harry Jackson ofWilliams (250 lbs.),

Tim Smith had been the NewEngland champ two years ago,but last year I beat hinm in thesemifinals. and he placed third. Imet him again this year in thesemis and killed him [figura-tively] 10-2, and he finished infourth place this year. Hisplacing first, third, and thenfourth in three successive yearsgives a good indication of howmuch heavyweight wrestling hasimproved in New England inthese years.

I had lost to Jim Murray 3-0in the finals last year-and 2-0 indual meet this year. Since thoselosses, though, I had beenworking out with Fred Andre,who had wrestled for MIT and in1968 had been the New Englanaheavyweight champion andplaced fourth in the Nationals. Ifelt that I had learned muchfrom him. As I went into thefinals I was confident that Icould win the title this year.

Lower weight class key to finishBy Loren Dessonville

I decided to go down to 167[from 177] just a little over aweek before the New Englands.It was a spur of the momentdecision.

I decided to go to '67, not somuch in anticipation of the NewEnglands as of the Nationals. Ifelt I could take second [in theNew Englands], and I could domuch better at 167 than at 177in the Nationals.

At the New Englands, myfirst match was with Lynch ofSourthern Connecticut. I hadheard he was a state champion inConnecticut, but his record thisyear wasn't impressive. I.had afairly easy match, winning 14-0.

My second round was withJohn Middleton of Amherst.John's a good wrestler, butshould have been down a coupleof weight classes. He came outstrong, but tired quickly. Afterfalling behind early in thematch, I came back to win 13-5.

In the semi-finals I metHenderson of Plymouth State.

experience with winter rTowing inFlorida.

For the heavyweights, thehighlight of the trip was anumber of competitive jointpractices with FIT. All of thesebegan at 6:10am in pitch dark-ness and featured five boatsracing abreast. Of the twelve1000-meter races held over sev-eral days, MIT won 11, with anoccasional 1-2 finish. Princeton,also -at FIT to row duringJanuary, lost to the host schoolrepeatedly.

An unusual race took placeon the last day of the trip. Thiswas a 21/2 mile affair, composedof seven boats with MIT, Flori-da, and Princeton crews in eachboat. The winning shell wasstroked by Jim Gorman '75 andcontained Tom Higgins '75 andStu Stevens '77. The second

Henderson was an unknown, buthad beaten the third seeded[Dessonville was seeded second]wrestler in the previous round.He was strong physically, butseemed to be a bit inexperi-enced. I won that match 13-5,but it was closer than the scorewould indicate.

As I had expected, I met NickPorillo .[of Springfield] in thefinals. Porillo is probably one ofthe finest wrestlers in NewEngland in recent years. I didn'tthink I had much of chance ofbeating him, and only hoped towrestle well. Porillo beat me15-5.

,Biggest problem at ] 8: spellingBy Jack Mosinger

The hardest fight I had at theNew Englands this year was withthe scorekeepers, but the finalson Saturday night they wereconvinced that Mosinger is spell-ed with one "s".

I first thought something wasfishy when I saw the contes-tants' names in the 118 lb. class.The competition wasn't asthough as it was in the past andfor the first time I can rememberthe Springfield contestant didn'thave to have a saliva test.

My first match was againstBleier of Bowdoin. I used apinning combination that thecoach drilled us on and "stuck"'him in the second period.

My high school coach hadtold me that all good wrestlerswere ugly, so when I saw Tobiaof' Rhode Island College I knewhe wasn't good. Although hewrestled well considering hislimited abilities, he lost -284.

In the semi-finals I metPacelli of Southern Connecticut,against whom I had had a toughmatch earlier in the season. Thistime I won 16-6.

In the finals I wrestled Zendleof Williams. Zendle is strong andhas good endurance, but lacksany good takedowns. I took himdown with a double-leg [take-down] and a fireman's [carry]and picked up a few back pointto win 114.

Lambda Chi Alpha, one ofbut two undefeated teams,meets Baker in tonight's head-liner. LCA has been untestedthus far, but should encountersome difficulty with its BakerHouse opponents who have lostonly to the Macks. MarkAbkowitz's '74 15 pp averageled both LCA and the leagueduring the regular- season.

However, Bobby Jones '76 andJohn Ottusch '77 have emergedas two key men for Baker, bothpotent scorers and good ballhandlers.

Tuesday's other game pitsThe Macks (9-0) against Chem E(5-5). The Macks have beenawesome all season (including an85-26 shellacking of the LittleGreen Men earlier this month)and are heavy favorites not onlyto beat Chem E, which has beenvery competitive this season, butto capture the IM title.
