Dickson said he is "absolutelypositive" that some repairs willneed to be made before K~resgecan be reopened. He also said hethought it was "very likely" thatthe lead coating and all the othermattcelials that cover the concretewould be taken off now to lessenthe stress on the concrete, .andwould he replaced by a temporary

The problem was discoveredwhile workmen were doingpreparatory work for next year'sscheduled replacement of the roofcoating system. When the

was recommended to Dickson bythe firm of Ammann andWhitney, the structural engineer-ing consultants who had aided theoriginal Kresge architect EeroSaalrinen. Since Kresge opened in1955, the firm has periodically ad-vised MIT on structural matterspertaining to Kresge.

Dickson said he is working onthe assumption that Kresge willnot be reopened before next spr-ing's replacement of the roofcoating, Thus, Kresge could beclosed until next September. Hedid not completely rule out areopening this winter, but he didrule out a reopening within thenext two months.

UAtP charges c:hairmenwvithfear of power-bs

By Erik ShermanUAP Jonathan Hakaia '81i, claims that the Nlominations Committee

Cthairman Jerry Hammond, '80,,and the Finance Board ChairmanTom Colten,'80, are fearful for a loss of their personal power.

1-akala stated, "destrurctive criticism [of the constitution] that hasemerged is a reaction by a select few with much power under the ex-isting setup who do not want to share it in any way, shape, or form."When questioned as to the sources of this criticism, he responded withthe names of Hammond and Colten. .

U A V P Ch uck Mark ham, '8 1, believes that their reaction is a mixtureof a inferred threat to their power and an actual concern for a well-framed constitution.

Both Hdakala and Markham addressed themselves specifically toseveral of the criticisms leveled at them. They asserted that they havenot spent time on the constitution at the expense of other activities.

"I put time into the constitution issue only after I put substantialamounts of time into other issues such as social events, academicpolicy, and financial policy," stated 4akala. "I feel somewhat offendedthat Jerry Hammond suggested that we spent too much time on it. Hewas not in Cambridge at all during the summer; we were." Markhamaffirmed this; "''1hat's a lot of rhetoric. It's simply not true!"

Concerning the Steering Committee, they claimed that it is merely acombination of the Agenda Committee and Executive Committee un-der the present constitution; it would have less power than the Ex-ecutive Committee does now.

Under the new constitution, the Steering Committee would have thepower of veto over the GA. This could be overruled by a two-thirdsvote by the GA. Hakala claimed that it is now possible to have a never-ending chain of vetoes between the GA and the Executive Committee.

it was stressed that the constitution in its present form was only in-tended as a rough draft. They had expected criticism to be forwardeddirectly to them. "I am disappointed," said Hakala.

Kresge has been plagued withr ofo problems throughout itshislor y, Shortly after Kresgeopened in 1955, its original acrylicrooi coating began to crack. That.roolf was replaced in 1963 by thecurrenl lead coating. However,movement of the lea'd plate's hasbeen a problem since then', andthis year it was decided to replacethe lead with copper plating.Ironically, the original plans forKresge called for a copper-platedroof, but midway through con-struction the architect decided totry the acrylic coating instead.

Dramas salIationBuilding E34 i s a large green garage on Carleton Street that now

plays a major role in the fate of the Drama Program at MIT. Presentlya storage area for Physical Plant, this garage was to be converted into anew home for the program, freeing it from the 'constraints of the inade-qualte facilities in the Kresge Little Theatre. The Planning Office,however, had other ideas, and at the beginning of the summer dec'laredthat the garage was to be the site of an East Campus parking facility.This action raises a question: what are the administration's prioritiesconcerning academic programs?

D~rama space proposal made two years agoThe ideal of moving the Drama Program's theatre and rehearsal

space to Carleton Street was first considered two years ago. In April of1978, ai pro posal for an experimental theatre in the garage was issuedby Robert Scanlan, Director of Drama. The proposal called for theconversion of the garage into theatre space, costume and scenery shops,storage space and a lobby. The overhead space would-allow the instal-latio~n of a permanent lighting grid, and the storage space would permitthe storage of all materials in one place. (Dramashop currently relies onthe cramped storage space in the Epsco Building.) The consolidation ofthe entire operation into one location would be of great advantage tothe pro~gralm. and would allow the expansion of the Drama curriculum.

The proposal also outlined programs which would be developed toacctompa;ny the experimental theatre. These programs would includeacting ins~truction, acting workshops (with "'homework"S space for thestudents) a playwriting workshop, dance instruction and danceworkshops (a decided advantage -the Dance Workshop has neverhald spacl6e (31 its owen), a theatre arts workshop, and, most importantly,uncolltested rehea1rsal space. This would let Dramashop schedulerehealrsals when they saw the- need,'-rather than depending on theScheduling Office. An unmentioned advantage would be an influx ofvoutsiide p~erforlming groups tihat normally shun MiTr because of its poorto no>nexistent facilities, groups that would improve the DramaPro}gralm's reputation in the theatre community.

In .I time when there is ;a call for an expansion of the Hulmanaities atM IT, the Carleton Street proposal seems to be exactly what is needed- yet the need does not seem to be great enough, for the parking lotplan will soon be carried out.

- ~~Hasty planning hurts

iZoning regulations require the addition of more parking space if newbuilding:; are to be erected on the east campus property. Ground hasalrealdy been broken for the new medical center, which includes park-ing spacee yet Planning feels that additionlal space is necessary forfurther development. Reynolds Thompson, Senior Planner with thel'Ilanlling Office, comumenlted: "We moust face up to the constraints-once we have commzitted ourselves to a new facility [parking lot], it

must be comlpleted before moving to the next project."Thomlps~on also stated that Physical Plant could not move out of the

galragez until the Central Storage facility was completed. If this is thecase, thenl why mnust the parking lot decision be made so soon? It hadbeenl sugges;ted that the Drama facility could share p~arking~space withthe Medicail Center, since the Center would be staffed during-the dayandum the Draltls events would take place at night. When this was men-tioined, Thomlpson remained unclear about the point.

Trhis whole chain of events and proposals brings one thing to light-thev Institute's -priorities concerning the Humzanities. Can the ad-mllinistra.tion vctaim to be serious about improving the quality of theIIL1111MaltleiS Decpartment (and the performing arts specifically) when

lhey nlegate their conlcern with hasty planning'? Their stand must bel'cC(nIsidere, and soon, last Friday's closing of Kresge Auditorium has

elimnailvted the: six months the Planning Office had to decide. They mustdeccidie nolv, and let us hope they decide in favor of the arts.

Why were they caught uFprepared'! After all, the spa--problem has existed for a lortime. According to one faculzmtmber in the Creative Arprogram: "'*MIT has long been ifsensitive to a growing academprogram in.-the Creative Arts.Dean' Htoldenr who- now has Urunenviable task of relocating a-tivities scheduled for Kresgwobserved that there has been "r,general groundswell for arts e-pansion at M IT in about fi--years.

room to breathe.

rooms for and by student ac-tivities, which should havepnri-ority in the Situdent Cenxter, is areal nightmare. And 2) since thesegroups must switch locationsevery time they meet, there are noareas the Creative Arts 'can calltheir ow~n. Much time is spent set-t ing up and taking down. This is aparticular problem in the MusicSection, whtere instruments nowin Kresge must be easily accessi-ble to all music grouips.

So the situation with an open-Kresge was anything but ideal. -Infact, it would be hard to imaginethe scheduling office not resem-bling an air traffic control center.And now Kresge's closed:

But that was going to happen infive months anyway. So, onewould thlinkc, MIT would be busypreparing auxiliary facilitieswhich could cover for Kresge inthe spring and then help to al-leviate the space cr unch -when-Kresge was back in service.

Well, wrong again. A proposedrehearsal area for Dance andDramia oil the eastern part ofcalipus was canned to makeroom for a parking lot. And along-awaited Fine Arts Complex,-allso stated for the eastern part ofCAnilpus, also seems a long wayfrom sufficient funding to make adifference in the Creative Artsprogram.

The latest chapter in the historyof the architectural 'Miracle thatisn't was kicked off by thredramatic announcement on Fri-day that the building was beingclosed immediately,- until thedeterioration of the foundationcould be assessed. While this pre-sents an ,amazing array of dif-ficulties for those groups whichuse the building'Trom time' tolimes it is an undeniable night-malre for those organizationswhich actually live in Kresge.

Student musi-eians and actors and designers arei n mainy cases receiving credit forthe work they are doing in what Ifshrill call the Creative Artsprogram here (to be fsair, I shouldadd that even I am receivingcredit for work with the MITDrasniashop), It is often very highquality work, as can be evidencedby the Symphony Orchestra'.s for-r Id~able recording credentials.

.So. the questions I'm address-ing is: How does the Kresge clos-inlg impact on certain aczadeiicprogramis here? After all,aluademics are supposed to be toppriority ;at MIT, right'?

Wrong.it se~enis that some academics

are more equal than others.Spcifical~ly, the Creative Arts atMIT have no home. This is notso tething brought on by theK;resge clos~ing. Let's look atK resge.

The performa~nce areas InKresge consist of : two rehearsalroomsze, Little Theater and BigTheatler. The rest are dressingroom Vlland offices for Music andDranial~. 'The four main areas areused for: Music (Concert' Bandand Syltprhony Orchestra, as wellas n~unerous smaller groups),Da.nce, Drama (lDramas-hop,MTG & Commlunity Players),Movvies (LSC), various con-ferenlces, dozens of special perfor-nlt;nces. and a slew of special in-teretst.

Two tllings are apparent: I)there's not enough room. Thus,life C reative Arts academicpurograin is forced to use space ex-tensivelv in the Student Center.As a1 result, the scheduling of

To th E/ dito~r:I'd like to make a fews state-

ments to clarify certain insinua-tion made in your article "4GratisRings Forbidden"' in last Friday'sTech1.

First oft, the class of '81 ringc~ommlittee decided shortly afterits formation to aik that commit-tee menibers pay the classtreasurv forf th-eir rings. This was asuggestion aind not a mandate,since none of us felt jiustiried inenftorcilg our nioral stsandards onthe oethers. At this same meeting,it wais also firmily- decided, thatneither the coltllittee -nor any ofits memlbers would accept freeilealls { roml any ring company.

These decisions were respectedby the committee members. Iknovv that noe free mneals were ac-c~epted, at least up to the time of

ni), recsignation. Also,iecr-etalry/treasure-r last year,

know th~at all but one of ttle eigremaininlg members paid the e-

-ci retalil price'of their rings inthe class treasury.

It can now be seen that or.o3ne member of the-'8i ring cormittee acecrued a 'E100 to $I .savillgs." The' remainder of VIr ing scomluittee clearly did sfsomlething wrong with receiving

rinlg grafi~s.So. no mastter how you choc=

to represent things. the -fremcobjcetive of the majority of t-comml~ittee Was to present tclalss of{' '1 with the best possilrinlg, NOT to make sophomc-vealr here al littile 'che~aper for tmemlber-s of the ri-ng comnmitme

SoPh ledtsep·9don't have fiskhin their clasTo the Editor:

As a member of the Class of '81Ring committee, I feel duty-bound to reply to the inferencethat we received "*an expensivedinner" as well as "numerous freemeals.' To the best of myknowledge (I attended all of themeetings), we only accepted a freecan of Coke (or similar beverage)ealch.. all free meals beingrefused."

Only one of our class commit-tee did not pay the cost of the ringinto the class treasury (I paid formine). Neither the selection of thecompany nor the design wasdelayed or even hampered by dis-cussion ofgrati.s rings. I think theleadership of the Class of '82 isnot putting enough faith in the in-telligence of MIT '82 by requiringal sworn affidavit as a precursor toselection. The class officers arelapsing into the all-too-frequentsituation of increasing curtail-ment of' personal freedoms andperogatives by forcing thelr opi-nions on the King committee andthe class as a whole.

It is unfortunate that intforma-tion concerning our committeewas not acquired. from themembers themseives, resulting inerroneous or misleading reportingby The Tec h. Included in the arti-cle's misrepresentat ions was anaccompanying sketch with theCaption "L8ast year's class ringdesign." In reality, that sketchwas only a preliminary design in-tended for display's sake. 'Aphotograph of the ring designthat was finally chosen by thecommittee has been submittedwith this letter for future publica-tion, should any questions con-cerning this matter be brought upagain.

The Class of 1981 Ring Com-mittee worked for the benefit ofthe class in designing and prcauc-ing a ring which pleased most ofthe members of the class. In thisrespect, we feel that we have been.1 successful committee. It is oursincere. hope that unprofessionalfnd vague reporting, such as thatexhibited in this article and inrelated articles last year, cill notagain attempt to discredit the ac-cnmplishments of our committee.'Theretore, it would be greatly ap-preciated if-the committee wouldbe consulted prior to the publica-tion of' future stories concerningourselves, in order to prevent mis-understandings of this nature.

To the Editor:As members of the Class of

1981 Ring Committee, we wouldlike to clarify'a few of the pointsmade in James Moore'sSeptember 2-l article regardingclass ring committees.

Several of the actions presumedto have been taken by our comemittee in fact did not occur.Contrary to what was written, thecommittee passed a- isolation atits first meeting that specificallyprohibited any committeemember firom. accepting any free.meals. Another ~resolution expres-sed the comqmittee's strong rsom-mendation- that each 'member

-donate the 'full price of his/herr ing to the class treasury after ac-ceptance of a free-ring from thering company. Both of theseresol utions were passed withsome discussion, but without con-tr-oversy, and were fullly accep-table to the committee members.

As5 a matter of fact, the first policywas strictly adhered tor while thesecond was observed by all butone member.

In reference to the statementthat serving on the ring commit-tee was "ai task involving arelatively minor amount oftrouble, the fact is that membersspent about four hours per weekin meetings. This excluded thetime involved in inspecting thecompanies" facilities for quality.control- in. production,- 'in,soliciting the optnions- of class.members own important issues,and in formulating individualsuggestions for design of the ring.

season, but the B3SC effort is a marveloaussuccess. They are rapidly building a reputa-tion as one of the best Shalkespeare com-panies in New England.

One secret to the success of the BISC hasbeen the imposing array of talent that theyhave assembled. The characters thatShakespeare created in King Lear are com-ple'x and varied, and are difficult roles toplay. The actors cast by the BSC into theseroles do an excellent job of interpretingShakespeare and make the play come alive

on stage. The title role is portrayed by WillL ebow, a versatile actor who manages tobring out all of the quivering emotion andanguish that the King goes through.Richard McElvain and Henry Woroniczcan also be singled out as doing superb jobsin their respective performances as the Earlof Kent and Edmund, Gloucester's son.The acting in general is of a high caliber asall of the parts are well executed.

The BSC performance opens on a ratherslow note, with ail of the actors trooping incircles about the stage in an attempt toportray Kiing Lear's magnificence. Afterthis slow beginning, however, the pacepicks up considerably as the plot unfolds.it is possible that the play moves altogethertoo tast near the end of the play, when thewar that takes place is rushed through soquickly that it becomes difficult to followwho is doing what.

The BSC has been experimenting with anumber of new techniques for presentingShakespearean plays in an attempt to sup-plerment the customary tools of theatre. Insome instances these devices represent a--adical departure from the conventionalpresentation of Shakespeare. For example,baroque chamber music is supplied asbackground during several of the scenes.Used when Edmund carries on hismonologue with the audience during thefirst act, the effect is startling. Unfor-tuantely the music is. not always ap-propriate, as during Kent's swordfight withOswald, Goneril's steward. 'Charminglysweet flute music does not fit with shoutingand swordfighting. Several technical errorsalso became evident during the course ofthe play, as when one song was abruptlyswitched to another.

The most interesting departure that theBSC attempts is its portrayal of the King'sinsanity. In the script, the King is drivenmad by the ungratefulness and hatred ofhis daughters Goneril and Reagan. Onstage, unusual lighting and backgroundlaughter are provided to make Lear's grow-ing madness more evident.. At the end of

King Lear is Shakespeare's greatesttragedy play, and has been a classic oftheatre for hundreds of years. It is now be-ing offered in conjunction with Romeo andJuliet through Christmas by the BostonShakespeare Company.

King Lear (Will Lebow) is tormented by histwo daughters, Goneril (Kirsten Giroux)and Regan Janet Rodgers). (Photocourtesty of Boston Shakespeare Com-pany)

the first act, whenr Lear and his compa-nions are stranded outside in a storm,Goneril and Reagan actually join the Kingon stage in a bizarre scene that culminatesin Lear's insanity. The cast does an excel-lent job, but the technical aspects of thescene and its timing need improvement.The result belonged more on a moviescreen than a theatre stage.

-The BSC makes brilliant use of their un-complicated set, which is marred only by aconspicuous and irritating "Exit" sign onthe right side. The stage space is effectivelyused in the sometimes unusu'alchoreography, which heightens the impactof the play. The result is a polished, profes-sional performance that guarantees ahighly entertaining evening. The BSC iseasily accessible from MIT, and its adapta-tion of King Lear should not be missed byanyone who appreciates Shakespeareanitheatre.
