"Continuous News Service

Since 1881"

By Henry FrechterThe second attempt to elect

the Undergraduate AssociationPresident and Vice President(UAP/UAVP) will be made to-morrow, marking two weeksexactly since a series of unusualoccurances began with the Elec-tion Committee's invalidation ofApril 1 Os UAP balloting.

The Election Committee hasannounced a new set of rules oncampaigning and balloting toprevent a repeat of the allegedballot-box stuffing that occuredat the first election. There willbe only one voting booth avail-able tomorrow, and it will bemanned by the election "com-missioners" (an informal groupof people chosen by UA Secre-

Roll card to eAse re

By Bill ConklinA proposal to eliminate roll

cards from the registration pro-cess is being considered, accord-ing to Warren Wells, Registrar.

The proposal was sent toWells by the Committee onAcademic Policy (CAP) because,according to Professor Arthur C.Smith, CAP Chairman, "the CAPwas upset over the confusion inregistration caused by studentssigning up for courses and notturning in roll cards, or notsigning up for courses and turn-ing in roll cards, and things ofthat nature."

Although the final decision isleft up to the registrar, Wells isasking for the opinions of severalpeople and committees beforemaking the decision, which hesays will be made in three orfour weeks. "I wouldn't do itunless it looked advantageous tothe various people involved.We'll have to discuss it and see ifit looks good."

"Roll cards have worked wellover ~the years, but their useseems to be deteriorating," saidWelis.,He added that there hadnot been any sudden change, but

tary-General Stephen Shagoury'76).

Co-UAP Derek Vlad, a mem-ber of the Election Committeethat invalidated the first elec-tion, told The Tech that hepersonally expected a turnoutlower than the 1200 voters inthe first election. "The momen-tum is gone from the election,"he said.

While the results of the classelections two weeks ago wereaccepted, "very strong evidenceto indicate that there was tam-pering with several groups ofballots" caused the ElectionCommittee to declare the UAP/UAVP election invalid. A mem-ber of the comm;ttee, Michael

that the situation had worsenedin recent years.

If the roll cards are elimin-ated, the Registrar's office willconsider sending class lists toprofessors several times a termto keep them aware of who isregistered in their classes, Anychange in status of a studentwould be reflected in the nextclass list.

The change would not affectadd/drop cards, or any otherfacet of registration, according,to Wells.

Also under consideration inseveral committees is a proposalto change the drop date.

"The CAP discussed it atlength, but couldn't reach anyagreement," said Smith. "We'veheard proposals ranging fromimaking it the fifth week in theterm to making it effectivelyminus infinity, so that a coursecould be dropped at any time."

Smith said that the CAP hadwritten a letter to the chairman

I of the faculty on the subject,and that the ad-hoc Committeeon Grades and the Committee

I on Educational Procedureswould be discussing it.

National Student Association (anational lobby) was present atthe conference and called for thecolleges to continue determiningneed on the basis of parent'sincome. "Their position rathersurprised me as I had expectedthem to be more concernedabout those students whoseparents could afford to but donot support them past their ma-jority (now 18). In fact I heardvery little said throughout thewhole convention about theirproblem."

Bowe also said that the con-vention expressed its disapprovalof the federal definition of anindependent student as set bythe United States Office of Edu-cation. This definition lists inde-pendent students as those whono longer live in their parents'home for more than two weeksin any given year, are not listedas exemptions on their parents'Federal Income tax returns andreceive less than six hundreddollars per year, including suchitems as clothes and medicalcare.

"We use the federal defini-tion," Bowe said, "in deter-mining eligibility for the govern-ments Basic Educational Oppor-tunity Grants but not for ourown purposes. It simply servesto drive a wedge between stu-dents and their families."

"I think tile federal definitionwill most probably stay the samefor at least this year but, in theirkeynote address they made itvery clear that they are lookingfor new opinions... The thingthey didn't offer is any moremoney."

Bowe said that the conven-tion "sharpened people's aware-ness of the problem . .. Now wejust have to be as fair as possiblewith what we have."

By Jules MollereMIT's Student Financial Aid

Office is, according to DorothyBowe, Assistant Director of Fi-nancial Aid, re-evaluating its ba-sis for determining student need.

Bowe said that this is a resultof "the growing number of stu-dents across the country who aredeclaring themselves financiallyindependent of their parents."

"MIT has no real 'indepe-ndent student' as defined by anyset of rules. We require a finan-cial statement from all parents in

order to determine a student'sneed."

"Now, however," Bowe con-tinued, "College students aregetting further and further awayfrom the 'traditional' student.He is not always as closely tiedto his parents for financial sup-port and in fact may have beenseparated from them for quite awhile."

Bowe cited her representationof MIT at a College EntranceExamination Board (CEEB)sponsored convention on inde-pendent students as an exampleof the Institute's "willingness tolook at new ideas."

"We tried to do two things atthe convention," Bowe com-mented, "to define a set of rulesand guidelines for determiningwhat an independent student isand to find funds to fit thatdefinition."

"This last problem is onewe're looking at very closelyhere. Practically any change a-way from determing need by theparents income is going to put aheavy strain on our aidmoney... I don't know if wecould raise so much more, so it'llmost probably come -down to aquestion of how best to distrib-ute what we already have."

Bowe mentioned several alter-natives which had been discussedat the convention including aplan whereby a student coulddeclare himself independent ofhis parents but would only beeligible for loans, not direct aid.Another plan would classifyFreshmen as being totally de-pendent financially on theirparents, sophomores less so, andso on. Such a plan would allowthese semi-independent studentsto receive financial aid.

"The main challenge is ingetting information out to thosewho aren't registered, but areeligible to vote," she continued."Because of the many changes inthe laws in the last two or threeyears, many people just aren'taware of the basic things likequalifications, and when andwhere to register and vote."

The annual street listing, ayearly census taken in Cam-bridge, is another area in need ofupgrading, in Scheir's opinion.

,"The annual listing needs a greatdeal of improvement," saidScheir. "On this basis, thenumber of representatives in thestate legislature and in Congress,and the allocation of funds isdecided. Many state fundings inparticular are on a per capitabasis."

In the past, the police depart-ment has taken almost sole juris-diction in taking the census al-though the police departmentand the Election Commissionwere intended to work on ittogether, according to Scheir.

"Last year the street listingcame up with far less peoplethan it had the previous year,"she explained. "This led to allsorts of -rumblings about thenumber of representatives in thestate legislature. I think every-body involved is susceptible tosome improvement there."

James Sullivan announced hisappointment of Sondra Scheir tothe Election Commission at theCambridge City Council meetinglast night.

Sullivan, who took officeApril 1, selected Scheir fromthree nominees elected at theDemocratic City Committeemeeting in March (see The TechMarch 5). The other two nomi-nees were Thomas Neel andVincent Panico.

Scheir will be joining Con-stance Milton (Rep.), Chairman,Francis Burns (Dem.), ExecutiveSecretary, and- Edward Samp(Rep.) on the commission.

"I would hope that the four

of us could work together to besomewhat more efficient insome areas than in the past,"commented Scheir.

Scheir stated that -she wouldlike to "spearhead" this irn-provement as the newest mem-ber of the commission, providinga "fresher" outlook on the situa-tion.

Last year the Cambridge CityCouncil passed a law makingcollege dormitories legal domi-cile, thus alleviating the registra-tion problems MIT students havrehad in the past.

drank free beer for four hours while the Campus Patrol and student marshalls struggled to keep urchins out of Rockwell Cage. The

organizations, and piles of debris to be picked up by Physical Plant.

In 'Case of Insomnia-

Nuclear power:Why it's needed

and its safetyBy Storm Kauffman

The existence of nuclear power plantsand the accelerating growth of nuclearpower has- raised serious questions aboutthe necessity of the plants and the safetyof those already operating.

The two primary questions are: "Dowe need to have nuclear power plants ona large scale, if at all?" and "Are nuclearplants safe enough?"

The answer to the first question is aresounding "Yes!" There are severalreasons why nuclear power must and willreplace extensive use of fossil fuels forpower generation.

First of all, our fossil reserves aregreatly limited. The scarcity of petroleumand natural gas is a well publicized fact.True, the US does have extensive coalreserves that could conceivably be burnedto produce power, but at what price?

The only feasible method of extractingcoal in sufficient quantities is strip-mining(deep-mining is too slow and costly interms of money and human life). How-ever, strip-mining causes horrible de-struction of the land from which the coalis drawn. No matter how willing themining company is to spend money torestore the land, there are certain devas-tating effects that can only be righted bylong periods of time. In an era when theworld needs every acre of food-producingland to feed its billions of people, therecan be no excuse for destroying thefarming potential of millions of acres.

Then, there is also the pollutioncaused by the combustion of coal. Whileextremely costly processes can be devel-oped and utilized to remove the sulfurthat forms sulfur dioxide, combustionwill always produce massive quantities ofnitrous oxides, carbon monoxide, andcarbon dioxide. The effect that thesehave on the environment is not yet clear,but it is certain that they are harmful tosome extent.

The only short-term option is the useof nuclear power, which, though it has itsown special hazards, produces no chemi-cal air pollution and involves only modestmining efforts.

So, the second question, safety. Theanswer is "no," reactors are not safeenough, but then neither are cars orplanes. As long as the possibility (how-ever remote) exists for harm to humanlife, a device is not safe enough.

But reactors, as they are now built, aresafe. AEC experts and others in the fieldhave assessed the chance of an accidentaffecting the public welfare at less thanone in ten-thousand reactor-years beforespecial safety systems are installed. Theinclusion of safety systems probably re-duces the risk to less than one in a millionreactors-years (1000 reactors operatingfor 1000 years would have one badincident).

Even the staunchest advocate of nu-clear power agrees with his critics that abad incident could be catastrophic, sowork must continue to reduce theseminiscule chances to the infinitesimal. Asthe cost of other energy sources increases,industry should be more willing to spendincreasing amounts on this necessarywork, thus taking some of the load offthe AEC.

The fremost area of research shouldbe the disposal of -the intensely radio-active wastes, the nuclear "ashes." A safeand permanent method for disposing ofthese wastes is yet to be developed, but itwill be needed before the century ends.

While we need to build and operatereactors now and can feel confident oftheir safety, we must not take futuresafety for granted.

The Tufts/Vlad administration madeefforts to provide an internal structure,but these went largely unnoticed by thestudent body, and the image faded. Itwould have been interesting to see if theCollective could have kept it going, but ofcourse, we will never know.

For anything of lasting value, bothapproaches are needed: the outward,friendly ability to be concerned withindividual matters, and the administrativecompetence to continue the push forinternal structure, started by Tufts andVlad. Of the two frontrunners in thecurrent race, Michel carries the air ofbeing the friendly type (which peoplegenerally admire, which is the reason hedid so well on the first and second ballotsof the invalidated election), and Wallmanhas shown, time and again, his administra-tive adeptness.

Assuming that one of them wins, it ishoped that the other can be pulled intothe organization, for only through acombination of their talents, or skills liketheirs, will the UA ever come to fullyrealize its potential; only then will thepulse of the UA beat along with that ofeveryone else.

Curtis Reeves is a former UAP and amember of The Tech's News staff

By Curtis ReevesThe vote is in: of the people that I

talked to, those with -close ties to theUndergraduate Association disliked mylast column, and everybody else thoughtit was pretty good. This disparity isunfortunate, for the implied difference inpoint of view between UA officials andthe rest of the student body explains, inlarge part, why the UA is not the orga-nization that many of us would like it tobe.

Now it would be one thing to dwell onthis as an "I told you soj" but many ofthe UA's problems stem from just thiskind of bickering, for it is always easier tocomplain and harshly criticize than to besupportive and look for ways to makethings better. This is my complaint ofThe Tech's usual treatment of UA mat-ters: that you always read about the ills,and never about the remedy. If the UA'sproblems are important enough to de-serve comment in the first place, theirsolutions certainly rate a little thought aswell.

So, having done some sniping of myown, it is time to deliver a few commentsfrom the other side of the coin.

For beneath the frustration and bitter-ness voiced a week ago, is an undyingbelief in the UA as an organization withgreat potential in the areas of socialinteraction, discipline, evaluation of aca-demic services and facilities, and informa-tion dissemination, as well as its ongoingprovision of experience and leadershiptraining for its officers.

The training is a rough one too, for theUA Presidency is a somewhat glorious,essentially powerless position. Severalyears of internal struggle have split theUA into several totally autonomous fac-tions.

(One might have hoped that theDean's Office would notice the shape ofthings and take some action, since theyare the ones to dole out Finboard's funds,and have put themselves in a veryprominent position vis-a-vis the studentactivities, but in light of their treatmentof student enterprise, this could not beexpected. For example, it has been clearto Finboard for many years that if theydid not give substantial funds to theDebate Society, the money would betaken from their budget and given to thedebaters, anyway. It might be contended

Comnmentary:

that,the Dean's Office is not there to acton such matters, but they certainly entersituations when they feel it necessary,and might try to mediate when it be-comes clear that the students involved arenot working toward reasonable solutions.If not, then the concept of the Office ofthe Dean for Student Affairs is a farce,and something more useful should takeits place.)

Presently, the UAP has no say infinances, and for all practical purposes,has no budget of his own, save what hecan talk Finboard into setting aside. Thishe must often do within days of 'hiselection; and, of course, he can onlyspend the money with Finboard'sapproval. Finboard was originally con-ceived as the UA's financial advisors, nottheir dollar dictators, and returning tothat system does not seem unreasonable.At any rate, more latitude should begiven to the UAP and his staff in spendingfunds for social events, since this is one ofthe'things that students justifiably expectthe UAP to provide.

Certainly, money is no cure-all, andcan be a great evil' when misused, butwithout it,' or with so many stringsattached to its use, very little ever getsdone.

Usually, in fact, by the time onedevelops a feeling for being able toaccomplish anything, his term of officehas expired. And even if most UAP's werenot seniors, few would think of runningtwice. The job, at times, can be a livinghell, and the rewards are not that great.Especially around election time.

Expanding in two directionsAlthough most people can tell you

that much less than half the student bodyvotes in UA elections, few bother to notethat last year the number of ballots wasup 45 percent over the year preceeding it;this was a number some 400 greater thanthis year's election. The reason for thissurge (or for the candidacy of the SpringCollective, which probably had the largereffect on the number of votes) is that theUA, in that year, had improved its imageas an organization that people couldapproach with their problems, andthrough this transformation, the post ofUAP became more than just a haven forgreasy student politicians and was onceagain a recognized means for dealing withthe student malaise.

By Derrick VladThere are many rumors that circulate,

usually around election time, about thesignificance of the role of the UAP. Thesehave been perpetuated only because therehas boeen little effort by outgoing UAP'sto confirm or deny them, and by thetime the elections are over, the rumorslargely disappear for another year.

To be perfectly realistic, the UAP,though the elected head of "studentgovernment," governs no one. Rather, heis given the privilege to sit on twostudent faculty committees (the Activi-ties Development Board and the Corpora-tion Joint Advisory Committee), to speak(not vote) at faculty meetings and to be arepresentative in cases where obtaining alarger sampling of students is not possi-ble.

A person elected to the position ofUAP is not given any significant "power";'rather, he must create his own. The,Undergraduate Association is in a statenow where each incomirng UAP mustprove himself worthy of representingstudents. The office, by nature, providesthe tools to do this. But the personholding the office must know how to use

them.In order to be effective as a UAP,

though, there are two very necessaryqualifications. The first is ability. Theonly way to measure this is by deter-mining whether someone is being realisticwith his promises. This can only beachieved by someone who has had experi-ence enough to realize how many con-straints are imposed on the UAP, and hasideas about how to work within them oreliminate them. The UA has for too longlived on promises that sound good butprove too unfeasible. The second is com-mitment, and the only proof there is tooffeir of one's sincerity in his commit-ment to the UA is through past ac-complishments.

In essence, the UAP's job is what hemakes of it. Anyone can claim they wantto change things in the UA. It's not allthat difficult to come up with ideas thatare new and sound impressive. But it'sjust as easy to, once elected, forget themall, and just a fruitless to find out howunrealistic many of them really are.

Derrick Vlad, with Linda Tufts, is thecurrent Co-President of the Undergrad-uate Association.

work, but volunteered to return to thechairmanship several months later whenhis successor unexpectedly resigned. Hisre-election, a unanimous one, would nothave occured had he only been a "figure-head" as charged by the author. Thearticle's charge that Wallman accepts thecredit for work done by his subordinatestotally ignores the fact that a chairman'sjob is not to singlehandedly conduct allactivities, but rather to act largely as acoordinator and organizer. Further, al-though his'post does not require it, he hasbeen active in almost all the SCC's activi-ties (including 24 Hour Coffeehouse, Mid-Nite Movies, concerts, and lectures) andhas been the prime mover in many. Wefeel that he has done at least as muchwork as any other member of the Com-mittee, and more than most.

The Student Center Committee isprobably better organized now than it hasbeen in the past four or five years. Itcertainly has more ongoing activities nowthan at any time in its past. No smallamount of credit for this has to go toSteve Wallman, who has unselfishlydonated much of his time, energy, andabilities to working with the SCC to helpmake it a more effective instrument toserve the needs of the community.

Magic magnetsTo the Editor:

I am amazed at the concern andIngenuity of MIT readers of The Tech.From the blind ad "Brain Teaser" I ranon March 1, 1974, I have already heardfrom five people.

Please be advised I know about thefirst law of thermodynamics and do notbelieve it is violated for two reasons: 1.There is energy in a magnet's field. 2.Springs prevent a heat loss.

Except in one case, whenever you at-tach a magnet to a window or othernonmagnetic material and move anothersimilar magnet, steel ball, steel springs orpiece of flat iron within this magnet'sfield, forces will be conservative. Theexception is to have springs arranged sothey are compressed as the magnet at-tracts the steel ball horizontally to it.Now when you insert the flat iron be-tween the ball and the magnet, the forceson the ball are conservative. The ironabsorbs most of the magnet's field, thesteel ball is no longer as strongly mag-netized and the springs repel the steelball.

being fair toBy David Gordon Wilson

The word "rights" can raise hackles onall sides. We all agree that a person has aright to be free. There's. a vision of theperfect state - living on the frontier, in'the wilderness, on a desert island. There,one's rights are almost limitless.

As soon as people live closely enoughtogether to interact frequently, they losesome of their individual freedoms. Theyhave to, or otherwise anarchy results.They mutually agree not to dump wastesinto each,:others' water supply; not tostart fires in the forests; to travel on theright of the highway. The "rights" ofpeople to do or not to do these things arecircumscribed for the good of the com-munity. - of their neighbors. Some ofthese rules of behavior are easily agreedupon, because they involve little cost toany party. Choosing between travellingon the left or the right is a no-costdecision for a country about to start itsfirst highway construction. In contrast,agreeing not to start fires in the forestsmay produce hardships on people wholive in the woods and who want to burntheir trash.

In any case it is always easier forsociety,,; to-,-allow. than -to proscribe anactivity. -The concept that people have aright not to have' their environment pol-luted is'relatively new as a generality,although there have been laws prohibitingdumping since pre-Biblical times.

What has all this got to do withnonsmokers' rights? Simply that the rightof the nonsmoker to breate unpollutedair has not yet been established by law. Itis a right which is in conflict. If it isgranted, others' rights - the claimed rightto smoke - have to be limited.

To most nonsmokers, the idea thatsomeone else- has a right to pollute the airwhich they have to breathe is nonsensical.To the smoker, the right to smoke isdrawivn from. the:centUries in vilwhich man

g has lived with ',boacbo;"and the millionsof years-he has:ited withfiife.-' .".-

There .are.\ no 'absolutes to which torefer to solve this conflict. Agreementmust-be reached through discussion, edu-cation, and possibly by democratic vote.

If it came to a vote, the nonsmokerswould win - if they all voted together.Approximately 58-percent of adult menand 70 percent of adult women do notsmoke.

But is voting the right way? Some-times it can be a vehicle for imposing thewhims of the majority on to a harmlessminority.

A scientific way of determining whichrights should prevail would be to add up

'the costs and benefits of alternativecourses of action and.to go for the one

'having the'greatest net benefit.Not all the data are clear yet. But

enough are known to be able to tot upsome rough figures. Here are some areasin which costs and benefits could becalculated:

- The harm which smoking does toCommentary:

statement in Stormcomment on the

Kauffman's article

the majoritysmokers themselves is now generallyrecognized (except by tobacco com-panies). But the costs of the resultingillness and death are borne largely by the-smokers themselves and by their families.We have little right to interfere in theirown private decisions in this area.

- Smoking in public places results ingreatly increased costs for ventilation,heating, air-conditioning, litter cleanupand janitorial services generally. Smokingis also responsible for significant propor-tions of home fires in this country.

- And smoking affects nonsmokers invarious ways. Most nonsmokers - agovernment survey puts the figure at 75percent - would prefer not to have tolive and breathe in smoke-permeated air.They find it unattractive, if not actuallyobnoxious, to have their clothes, belong-ings, curtains and so on always smellingof stale tobacco smoke.

- Many nonsmokers were found in agovernment survey to have stronger rea-sons for objecting to smoky air. Eyeirritation was experienced by no less than69% of nonallergic individuals; headacheby 31.6%; nausea by 9.2%o and dizzinessby 6.4%.

In contrast, the benefits of publicsmoking go solely to the smokers them-selves and to the tobacco industry.

There seems to be a lop-sided argu-ment in favor of banning smoking inpublic places. But bans-the denial ofactivities seen as rights by another group- are invidious to legislate. One groupwhich has been working most effectivelyto promote anti-smoking legislation hasbeen ASH.

Action on Smoking and Health wasstarted by a young MIT engineer-turned-lawyer, John Banzhaf, who burst intonational prominence by his successfulcase to the Federal CommunicationsCommission, first to require TV stationsto give free air time for anti-smokingcommercials, and then to ban cigaretteadvertisements altogether. Since thenASH has helped to bring about require-ments- that airlines set aside nonsmokingsections. It is moving to bring about asimilar rule for interstate buses and trains.

ASH recognized that there wereseveral effective organizations working toeducate smokers to the danger of theirhabit to their own health. ASH has mosteffectively brought to public notice thedangers of smoking to nonsmokers. It isdoing this partly' through the passage ofpublic laws and regulations. ASH is alsochanging public fashion.

It is becoming no longer the "in" thingto smoke. It is as simple as that.

Da vid Gordon Wilson is a professor ofmechanical engineering and is ExecutiveDirector of ASH (A ction on Smoking andHealth). He was also the organizer of a1972 petition drive to request that Presi-dent Jerome Wiesner ban smokinrg inpublic areas of the Institute (The Tech,April 2, 19 72).

[The Tech March 19] on Communicationthat "enrollment in [writing] classes isusually not large." In fact, most writingclasses are limited to 12 or 15, the largestnumber that can be taught in a class ofthis kind; however the number of sectionstaught has risen each year. This termalone, six extra sections of writingcourses are being taught-two in ProfessorRathbone's class in technical writing,one in poetry, one in prose, and two inSandy Kaye's fiction writing class). Thesesections were added by Dean Hanham inresponse to student enrollments at thebeginning of the term; several of them arebeing taught on a part time basis bywriters who do not have regular facultystatus. As of now, therefore, the demandfor these courses far exceeds the regular,full-time faculty available to teach them.Students, in other words, are interestedalso.

SCC repliesTo the Editor:

We the undersigned members of theStudent Center Committee would like torespond to the erroneous statements pub-lished in the lead "news" article in lastweek's Thursday. (Excerpts are reprintedbelow.)

"Steve Wallman is the typical greasypolitician... He's got lots of titles...but upon further investigation these onlyprove to be mirages of an oasis in adesert. In fact, the only thing this provesis the total ineptness of Wallman andinability to run anything effectively...Wallman at best is a figurehead and couldeasily be replaced by a typewriter and ananswering service. Anything done by theSCC is through the direct work of asubordinate, while Mr. Wallman hangsaround to reap the benefits and plaud-its."

We disagree!thursday has correctly published a

partial list of the positions held byWallman. Considering its length, we can-not comprehend the author's stand onWallman's supposed inexperience. Whilewe cannot respond to some of the chargesagainst him which dealt with his involve-ments with other activities (e.g. R/OCommittee), we feel that our years ofexperience of working with Wallman onvarious projects put us in a good positionto comment on the motives and abilitieshe has shown in his work with the SCC.

The author of the thursday articleequates grease with Wallman's long list oftitles. Does he also equate that list withthe hundreds of hours of work and manyresponsibilities associated with these posi-tions?

No one in recent SCC history has heldthe chairmanship for an entire term ofoffice. Wallman has proved an exception.He not only endured one year of hard

They all said prettymuch the'same thing, groovie vibes, mom,and apple pie . .' a new UA, a better UA .Issues of-.personality and power politicshave been raised. Discussion about whatthe UA can do, or should do, have beenreplaced by the-candidates cutting downeach other, and the press (and virtuallyeveryone else) cutting down the UA, andstudent government in general (althoughthis is nothing new), Name-calling ("Jock,Pervert, and Turkey") has become theaccepted (and expected) practice. We cantalk for hours about the injustice in theWhite House, and the Watergate affair,but look what happens. A college electionhas to be declared invalid because of vote -fraud and ballot stuffing.

The media squabble continues. Thepapers are filled with hundreds of inchesabout elections and candidates, aboutwhich supposedly nobody cares anyway.There are articles about articles, phoneyby4."ines, charges and counter charges,

People are too eager to destroy, to-criticize, to find fault. To do so, withoutany attempt to build up, to help out, tooffer constructive suggestions is aimless,and doesn't get anybody- anywhere.

If you think the UA does nothing, andthe UAP is a farce, just don't bother votingin the upcoming election. The world willstill exist; the Student Center won't falldown; MIT may even be able to continueits operations without a UA or UAP.

But, the UA is not a 4th floor office,or a five member committee, it is theUndergraduate Association, an associ-ation of 4000 undergraduates, associatedwith the common purpose of making lifefor these four years more pleasant andmore meaningful. The UAT comprisesthese 4000 undergraduates, over 120clubs, organizations, and activities towhich they belong, six committees thathandle the community services of socialevents, nominations, computer time, edu-cational policy input, and loose govern-mental structure; and 65 students onfaculty committees.

What the role of the UA President andVice-president is in this hodge-podge of

dent) will help us toward this goal. Someof the things on which we will workinclude: more campus-wide big weekendsocial events, more money for UROP andeasier entry into UROP programs duringthe term, help organize departmentalstu-fac committees, correct the upcomingpolicy that eliminates work-study returnsat the departmental level, the initiation of'a summer job placement service, publicizeand increase the various academic exchanges (e.g. Harvard), food and fuelco-ops for fraternities and dorms, and thestraightening out of decisions such as thePiKA coed problem.

These are the things that we know anactive UA can accomplish, people can cutdown student government all they like;but there is no doubt that parts of it havedone things in the past, as we have donethings in the past, and that the UA can dothings in the future. Let's have a littleaction, let's have some people out therecare a little bit. You can think that it is afarce, but it only takes a few minutes tovote. The chance for a lot of good thingsto happen is there. Please vote.

Wallman/Moody is a UAP/UA VP slate.

loosely defined organizational structure isa good question. What powers does theUAP have? Questions like these have goneunanswered for the past few years.

The "UA" is viewed as just anothercommittee, rather than as an umbrella oforganizations, interests, and committees.This lack of definition has accounted forthe complaints that the UA does nothing,that it is a bunch of greasy politicians. Ithas accounted for the immense frustra-tion of the past three UAP's, as well astheir lack of visibility. Student govern-ment means student services, the movies,parties, concerts, theatrical production,athletics, blood drives, and all of thethousands of extracurricular events-thattake place on the campus. The UAP/UAVP can play a very big role in coordin-ating people and resources, organizing arepresentative government, encouragingnew ideas and generally helping people inany way they can.

We want the chance to work for you,to firmly establish this new role for theUAP/UAVP. Our past experience (SCCChairman, R/O Chairman, NominationsCommittee Chairman, Baker House Presi-r.

To you, photography is morethan a hobby. You may never wantto become a professional. Yet, yourphotography is as important ameans of self-expression to you asyour speech. You demand thesame excellence in your photo-graphic equipment as you do ofyour photographic skills.

The Canon F-1 is the camera thatcan fulfill any photographic task towhich you put it. it can stand up toyour ability in any situation.

Naturally a great camera like theF-1 won't ensure great results.That's up to you. Yet--it's nice toknow that your camera can growwith you as a photographer.

Part of the reason for this is theF-1 system. Since it was designedin ttality, it offers total perform-ance. There is nothing "added on"in the F-1 system. Everything worksas it was designed to, and inte-grates superbly with everythingelse. You'll spend lesstimeworryingabout operating the camera than inshooting. -And that's what creativephotography is really all about.

Controls fall into place undereach finger. It's no accident. Pro-fessionalswho depend on a camerafor their livelihood have a deepregard for the F-l's handling. It'samazing how much a comfortablecamera can improve your work.

Although MIT suffered a gen-eral letdown in play in thesecond half, the major reason fortheir collapse was defense. Timeafter time Holy Cross was ableto convert a long clearing passinto a fast break goal. The Cru-saders seemned to be throwingthe ball around almost at will'inthe latter stages of the half asthe Engineers appeared bothtired and demoralized by thetremendous HC offensive effort.

By Glenn Brownstein,For twelve minutes Saturday

afternoon things looked verybright for MIT's varsity lacrosseteam as they had just pumped infour goals against Holy Cross.However, fate proved to be fick-le as HC steamrolled the Engi-neers the rest of the way, win-ning by an embarrasing score of13-7. The sudden turn of eventsdropped MIT's record to 0-5.

MIT, coming off a decisiveloss to an excellent Bowdoinsquad, appeared to be up for thegame and proved it in the firstperiod, totally dominating playand keeping the ball in the Cru-sader zone. At 5:09 of the peri-od, co-captain George Braun'75dodged two HC defenders andfired the ball past the Crusadergoalie for a 1-0 MIT lead, thefirst time that the Engineers hadbeen ahead all year.

Braun, Evan Schwartz '75,and John Rueter '74 followedwith three more scores withinthe next seven minutes of thequarter, and the Engineersappeared to be on their way toan easy victory, Holy Crosscountered with a goal late in theperiod, but MIT still seemed tobe in excellent shape.

In the second period, HCI gavethe Engineers a taste of theonslaught that took place in thesecond half, scoring two quickgoals before Braun tallied histhird goal of the game givingMIT a brief respite. Holy Crossmanaged to put one more in theEngineer net before the halfended, though, and the Engi-neers clung tenuously to a 5-4halftime edge.

The second half was a night-mare for MIT, as Holy Crossattackmen Claude Priolet, BillMoriority, and Jim Davidson puton a veritable three-man show,picking up seven out of nineCrusader second-half goals and

adding seven assists (countingthe first half, the three talliedeleven goals and eleven assists)to demolish the Engineer hopes.Co-captain Braun did all hecould to stem the tide, scoringtwice more to round out anexceptional five-goal day.

(Please turn to page 1)By Dan Ganttand Lawrence D. David

After two weeks of inactivityfollowing a successful spring tripto Florida, MIT's varsity baseballteam finally made its debutagainst northern competitionlast week, winning three of fourand improving its record to 7-2,MIT's best start ever. The Bea-vers defeated Suffolk, 8-1, Wes-leyan, 1 5-8, and Tufts, 9-2, withonly a 3-1 loss to the GreaterBoston League favorite Harvardmarring the week.

Perfectly timed New Englandrain had managed to wash outthe first four games on thesechedule and even caused theSuffolk encounter to be cur-tailed after four and a half in-nings. However, the skies werebeautiful and the weather warmfor last Wednesday's GreaterBoston League opener againstHarvard. Maybe it should haverained.

The Crimson scored two runsin the bottom of the first with-out the benefit of a hit andnever relinquished the lead. MITstarter and loser Dave Yauch '76walked four batters and wasonly able to retire two menbefore being relieved by MikeRoyal '76 in that fateful firstinning.

But for an extremely contro-versial call, Yauch very easilymight have come through theinning unscathed. With the basesloaded and one out, first base-man Herb Kummer '75 attempt-ed a first-to-second-to-firstdouble play. A safe call on therelay throw, however, broughtCoach Fran O'Brien off the Bea-ver bench, but the argument wasin vain.

From that point on the gamewas a pitchers' duel as Royal andhis Harvard opposite moweddown batter after batter, eachallowing only three hits.

A seventh-inning single byMike Dziekan '76, followed by apassed ball, a fly to right, and aHarvard error led to MIT's onlyrun1.

Suffolk should have broughtumbrellas to Briggs Field onApril 13 instead of gloves, as theBoston club appeared to be total-ly outclassed by the Beavers.

Playing in a steady rain from theoutset, MIT plated two runs inthe second and six in the thirdto nail down win number five ofthe season.

Second baseman Dave Tirrell'74 with two singles and desig-nated hitter Dan Sundberg '77with a triple and a single led theBeavers' attack while Yauchallowed only three hits in re-cording his second win of theseason.

Wesleyan took a 3-0 lead inthe first inning of last Friday'sgame on four walks and a hitbatsman by Beaver starter DonProper '76 and a juggled groundball by third baseman VinceMaconi '76. Kenny Smith '77was sent in to relieve and

worked out of the bases-loaded,no-out jam by getting the nextthree batters on a foul pop-upand two subsequent fielder'schoices.

The MIT riposte was merci-less. Sixteen Beavers paraded tothe plate in the first inning, thefirst ten scoring. Only aftereleven runs, eight hits, fivewalks, two errors, a wild pitch, asacrifice fly, and three Wesleyanhurlers was the inning to end.Tirrell had a two-run double,Vince Maconi a bases-loadeddouble, and Kevin Rowland '74two run-batted-in singles in theonslaught.

The game was wrapped up,but Kenny Smith had his trou-bles in the next three innings,giving up five runs before beingrelieved by John Cavolowsky '76with the bases loaded and twoout in the fourth.

Cavolowsky, a support caststill on his twice-broken leftarm, fired third strikes past thenext two batters to end the jam.From then on Cavolowsky wasmasterful, pitching five more in-nings of shutout relief, an out-standing comeback from an injury that threatened to sidelinehim for the entire season.

Tufts scratched out an un-earned first-inning run and thenthe Beaver bats boomed, sockingaway a 9-2 decision Saturday atTufts.

The torrid Dave Tirrellboosted his batting average witha 3-for-5 day, one run, a stolenbase, and two runs-batted-in.Mike Dziekan also went 3-for-5with a run scored and one RBI,as well as initiating two doubleplays.

David Yauch recovered quitewell from the Harvard game,twirling a three-hitter with bothTufts runs unearned, improvinghis record to 3-2 and loweringhis ERA to 1.7 1.

Next home appearance by theBeavers will be this Saturday in aone o'clock doubleheaderagainst one of MIT's toughestopponents this year, CoastGuard.
