pressed interest in such a livinggroup, "If we get a total of 20women - both undergraduatesand graduates - to committhemselves, we will definitelyexist as a separate living groupnext year," Gilbert said. Thegroup would also be looking forabout 15 freshwomen next year,"but we wouldn't have anytrouble getting this many."

The house may be somewhatlike a fraternity, but will not bea sorority. Although nationalorganizations can sometimeshelp with funding, Gilbert feelsthat "sororities have a badimage."

However, she said, "It can bereally good for people to liveand work together." Gilbert islooking for women who are un-happy where they are, but whoare willing to work for a betterliving situation. "We are hopingto attract women who want toshare Of themselves and devotethemselves to their home."

The Dean's Office currentlyhas a real estate agent out look-ing for a house for the women'sgroup, and also for a house forNumber Six Club, which willsoon be renovating their houseon West Campus.

Doolittle, who addressed Fri-day's Center for TransportationStudies luncheon seminar on theMBTA's problems aedgprosepcts, also proved that hehas a firm grip on reality inlooking at the future of urbanmass transit. Specifically, he isinterested in making the MBTAa more efficient system for the

delivery of transportation serviceto the public which lives in the79 cities and towns which are hisservice area

Bureaucratic opposition tonew programs and differentways of doing things (changingroutes and schedules) are citedby Doolittle as a major problem,although he believes several" strategic retirements" haveaided the situation.

He said that the MBTA cannow make "more flexible man-agement decisions."

Doolittle said "We have moreemployees than we have workfor them to do," and noted that

it was his opinion that theMBTA could do without itsforce of 235 guards. Short-termprospects for remedying the situ-ation seem bleak, he reported,since there is a no lay-off clausein the MBTA contract. "With abase pay of $6.27 an hour and acost-of-living escalator, you canimagine our attrition rate ispretty low," Doolittle said, peg-ging it to about 120 persons peryear.

In response to a questionabout substituting capital forlabor, thus reducing the infla-tionary push on the budget,

what was being voted on andshouts of "Get away from me! Idon't want to talk to you anymore," the Cambridge RevenueSharing Citizen ParticipationConvention called for the citi-zens of Cambridge to determinehow their Revenue sharing fundsshould be spent.

This convention (see TheTech, 4/2/74) was the culmina-tion of individual meetings heldin each of Cambridge's thirteenneighborhoods. At thesemeetings, which were sponsoredby the Cambridge EconomicOpportunities Commission(CEOC), delegates were chosento vote at the convention.

In reality, anyone whoshowed up at the conventionwas accorded the full rights of adelegate. CEOC had mentionedit would like to see 1,000 peopleat the convention; the gym-nasium at Cambridge High andLatin School where it was heldwas set for 340 people andapproximately 200 attended. Bythe time the main motion wasbrought to the floor, however,only about fifty people were stillthere.

This motion called upon theCambridge City Council to"instruct the City Manager notto include Revenue Sharingfunds in the 1974-75 fiscalbudget, and not to expend thesefunds until a Citizen Par-ticipation Structure is set up and

recognized to allocate the city'sRevenue Sharing funds."

A great deal, however, was totake place before this motionwas voted upon.

The convention began onehour late at Oam, with anopening statement telling whatRevenue sharing funds are, thatthey do in fact come out of one'stax dollar, and that citizenstherefore have a right to deter-mine where this money goes. Itwas explained also that thefederal Revenue Sharing billprovides no mechanisms forcitizen participation at all.

Each neighborhood then metto determine its priorities and tospecify in which of the eightRevenue sharing categories (Pub-lic Safety, EnvironmentalProtection, Public Trans-portation, Health, Recreation,Libraries, Social Services for thepoor or aged, and FinancialAdministration) more moneyshoud be spent. During thesediscussions, the two people whoattended from NeighborhoodTwo (largely the MIT campus)joined the fourteen people fromadjoining Neighborhood Four.

In this group two "automaticmandates" were established, thecreation of a structure forcitizen participation in allfunding (not just RevenueSharing) and the creation of a"watchdog" committee to seethat the money is spent as thecitizens decide. The two neigh-

How many grades should MIT use in evaluating students' work, and who should have access to therecords that these.grades appear on? Professor Roy Kaplow, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee onGrades which is studying these questions, led a discussion with students and faculty members at thefirst of two scheduled public hearings on grades last week. The figures behind Kaplow, a breakdown ofgrade distribution among MIT students, have been used by many people to argue that grades at theInstitute are "inflated" and so are becoming meaningless. Kaplow, however, compared the gradesthose at other schools such as Harvard and Princeton, and said that "relatively speaking, MIT's notinflated." Photo by Rich Reihl

'MIT women is now in the plan-ning stages, says Diane Gilbert'75, who hopes the living groupwill help fill the needs of womennow in dormitories who want toget out, or women outside thedorm system who can't get in.

Pointing out that men at MIThave far more choices in livinggroups than women, Gilbertsays she believes that MIT wom-en need more living alternatives.

According to Gilbert, living inan apartment is not always aviable alternative, because whena student lives in an apartmentwith non-MIT people, her ties tothe Institute are very slim.

Living in a coed dorm doesnot mean that a woman willhave the kind of relationshipwith men that she expects, Gil-bert said. "Coed living is nice,but I don't need it."

"However, we do not want tobe a Women's Lib group," Gil-bert added, "We just want to bea place where women can livewithout competition from eachother and learn what it's like tobe a woman." She wants theliving group to be "a place wherea woman would want to bringboth her men and womenfriends."

In each of these neighbor-hood caucuses, delegates werealso selected to senrve on the"Structure Committee." Thiscommittee, composed of onedelegate and one alternate fromneach neighborhood, has as itspurpose the drafting of an or-dinance to be sent to the Citycouncil concerning citizen par-ticipation in Revenue Sharing.

The only 2 people who attendedthe convention from Neighbor-hood 2 became its delegates.

A f t e r l u n c h , e a chneighborhood presented theresults of its deliberations. Therewas some variation in how eachneighborhood ranked the eightcategories, but Social Serviceand Public Safety were consis-tently first and second. EachNeighborhood, has its own spe-cific concerns and suggestions.Neighborhood Ten (West Cam-bridge) simply stated, "This partof Cambridge has never haddone for it what the other areas

of Cambridge have. We just wantto feel that we're part of the cityagain."

Here an objection was raisedthat the fifty or so people whohad remained past lunch couldnot possibly represent the cityof Cambriddge and that someneighborhoods were representedby fifteen or more people whileothers (including Neighborhood2) were down to one person.Thus a motion to table all mo-tions, and for the structure com-mittee to deal with them wasoffered. This motion was de-

,feated 60 yes, 62 no, 78abstaining (these figures basedon population counts, notdelegates present.)

Here some other delegatesrememberd that although astructure committee had beenset up, no provisions had beenmade as to how each neighbor-hood's votes should be appor-tioned and to whom the com-mittee would be responsible.The author of the motion totable withdrew his motion as afriendly gesture so that thesematters could be attended to.When the bickering continued,however he reintroduced it "sothat afterwards we can sit downand heal some of our wounds."The motion was defeated.

Two motions, one to makevoting on the structure com-mittee proportional to popula-tion, and the other to make itsmembers responsible to neigh-borhood organizations passed.The convention adjourned andthe structure committee decidedwhen it would meet.

By Mikie McNameeThe Employees for Improved

Conditions at MIT, an employeegroup composed of clerical andsecretarial workers, has an-nounced that they are changingtheir name to AWARE -Asso-ciation to Work for Active Re-forms in Employment - in orderto increase the visibility andeffectiveness of the group.

The group is currently in-volved in efforts to compile andanalyze the results of a question-naire that they distributed tobi-weelkly employees - employ-ees whose salaries are paid everytwo weeks - a few months ago.The questionnaire deals with"issues of interest to employees,thing like salaries, promotions,vacations, and maternity leaves,"according to Susan Sokalner,one of the' organizers ofAWARE.

The questionnaire has beenthe group's main activity since itchanged its name, Sokalner toldAThe Tech. "We're mainly con-cerned with doing research nowon conditions and attitudes,"agreed Cathy Sheil, -another ofthe groups members. This in-cludes surveys, discussions withthe Personnel Office, and col-lecting information from similar

groups at other institutions.The group has not been in-

volved in a recent event of inter-est to bi-weekly employees, theannual salary review. Sokalnersaid that AWARE "hadn't beenasked to participate," althoughshe said that she was certain thatthe administration is aware oftheir existence. AWARE workedwith the Personnel Office andAssistant to the Vice Presidentfor Administration and Person-nel James Culliton in designingthe questionnaire they distri-buted, Sokalner said.

Wage and Salary Administra-tor Kerry B. Wilson told TheTech that he plans to meet withmembers of AWARE soon, butthat he will probably not discussthe salary review specifically.

and better coverage of the nitty-gritty ofwhat the UA does - if it does anything -is needed, along with detailed facts onwhere the money is going and who isgreasing who for what awards.

The- UAP who is elected tomorrowcould make it a lot easier on us at TheTech if he would actually do somethingwith the office besides move his books infor a convenient place to study. He couldmake the UA a viable organization, activeas more than a booker of talent forbeer-blasts, and maybe even make itmeaningful for the average student. Therhetoric promises it, but we'll have towait and see whether or not it happens.

Do you care? I don't know for sure-short of polling all of you I have no wayof knowing for sure - but I have a gutfeeling that you don't. The question thatfaces the "lucky" winner of tomorrow'selection is whether or not undergraduatesnext year will care. Whoever he is, I wishhim luck.

What's a student to do?Tomorrow, MIT's 3850 (or 3571) un-

dergraduates will be faced with the choiceof voting for one of two (or three, ormore) candidates for UndergraduateAssociation President. The person theyselect will handle a budget of $1500 (orof almost $80,000), will be accepted (invarying degrees, depending on who youlisten to) as the voice of the students indealings with the administration, and willhave a hand in a range of activities thatwill be staggeringly broad if he carries outhalf of his campaign promises (or miserlynarrow if past experience is a guide). AndI ask you, the student who owns roughly0.025 per cent of the power to choosethis leader of men (excuse me, people) doyou care?

If an impartial, non-MIT observer wasto try to answer that question, he/shemight decide that yes, MIT students mustcare very much about the election. Reamsof paper and yards of videotape havebeen used by The Tech and MITV (Thurs-day made good use of its lack of interest

in MIT news and only printed one article)to bring you the latest "news" as ithappened, and to let the candidates tellyou in great detail just what they standfor - motherhood, apple pie, and moreand better parties.

As perpetrator of a large chunk of thisnon-event coverage I'm beginning to_think that there has to be a better way tolet students know how they are being"governed" than the current on-off blow-ing/infighting of/with the UA that TheTech currently carries on. I can't quiteagree with the statement made by Pro-fessor Senturia to one of his classes lastfall, when some mini-tempest was stirringthe Student Center-fourth floor-teapot,to the effect that "if there wasn't a UA,The Tech would have nothing to writeabout," since, as I pointed out at the time,.paper could always print articles

about men in McCormick. But if there isa point to this glib criticism, it is the factthat the only things that students are evertold about their government are the timeand place of parties that it has scheduled,and whether or not the factions there arein agreement with the factions here. More

By now you probably have begun tobecome familiar with at least the fund-iments of the UA organization, as well asthe basic platforms of the three UAPtickets. It's a shame that your awarenessis just now getting started. Yet this faultlies mainly with the UA as it presentlystands, rather than with the under-graduate body. If nothing else, I considerthis campaign to be an exercisein reach-ing as many undergrads as quickly andeffectively as possible in order that thesame thing can be done in the future foreven more significant purposes.

Space limitations require that I pointup the differences between the various

candidates' platforms. One calls for theabolition of "the same old thing" througha combination of immediate action, re-sponsibility, and experience. Anotherasks for "noisemaking" to acheive hisends, as well as self-determination of theundergraduate body. Each is meritoriouswhen viewed separately, as they presentlystand in fact. What is necessary, however,is a combination of the two. Dick Micheland Dave Jessich are the only candidateswho can offer this uniquely dichotomousapproach. That which can easily be ac-complished is already happening, in-cluding some very successful socialevents. More must follow. Simply main-taining the status quo by retaining exist-

UA Elections:A personal opinion

on why and whoBy Storm Kauffman

Glory Hallelujah! It is UA ElectionTime again.

Big deal. If the UAP elected tomorrowfollows the usual script, the average stu-dent won't even be aware of the existenceof the UA.

So why bother to vote tommorrow?While you might feel that it doesn't makeany difference now, the new UAP couldbecome an important force in promotingstudent interests at MIT.

Of course, there is always the possi-bility (probability?) that the UAP willagain become an invisible nonentity (asfar as students are concerned). But on theoff-chance that we may find some use fora UAP, every student should vote tomor-row, giving serious consideration t~,.whom he or she thinks might do the bestjob.

Even in the past several years, the UAPhas been more important than his (or her)seemingly innocuous position suggests.That importance lies in the fact that theadministration views the UAP as the voiceof the student body and listens to theUAP's opinions (though not necessarilypaying any attention). Therefore, a strongand dedicated UAP will have the poten-tial to get things accomplished for you,the average student (sorry, of courseyou're not average).

The basic idea is that it won't hurt youto take the time to pick the team youthink will do the best job (not just theteam whose guts you hate the least) andvote for them. It won't do anyone anygood' if you don't vote.

Given the assumption that someone isinterested in voting, what choice do theyhave? Unfortunately, none of the teamsrepresent both dorms and fraternities, adeficiency which could lead to the fearthat the interests of one will be pushed tothe exclusion of those of the other.However, all teams seem to intend toignore such partisanship.

First, Zimmerman represents the leastcustomary of the candidates. Although heclaims to be truly interested in the revivalof the UA and in "action," he does nothave any experience with student govern-ment and associated red tape. He is notwell known by the administration, and,while this lack of familiarity might helphim if he decided to be obnoxious aboutpushing some point, it could also hinderefforts to come to reasoned agreements -the UAP only succeeds in give-and-takesituations. As for streaking LSC movies, itmay be an amusing way to gain attentionand sympathy, but it hardly qualifiesZimmerman or offers any evidence thathe will be an effective UAP. Additionally,Zimmerman is saddled with Applemanfor his UAYP - in my opinion, Apple-man hasn't been serious about accom-plishing anything constructive since he'sbeen at MIT.

While Zimmerman typifies the activistslates of the more politically active timesof several years ago, Michel represents thestandard in student government cam-paigns. He waves promises of more par-ties, more money, and a larger role forthe UA - the same p romises made bypast UAPs who quickly faded into obscu-rity after their elections. Michel is alsohandicapped by lack of experience instudent government, he and Jessich hav-ing become involved only during the pastterm. (Where do these people come from?Out of the woodwork? I have to followMIT events during the year but don'tremember hearing of either of them untilthis election.)

Wallman is often castigated for hisextensive activity in student government(SCC, Nemrcom, and R/O Committeechairman, besides participating in others),but it is just this experience that bestqualifies him. He and Moody are realiststhey have learned how to get thingsaccomplished the hard way, by gettingthem done. They have consistentlydemonstrated an interest in working forstudents, and such proven performance isthe only basis on which to judge can-didates in such a quickie election as thisone. Wallman and Moody may not turnout to be as effective as they could be,but they represent the best odds ofreviving student government at MIT andof getting things done.

ing leadership, on the other hand, willsucceed only in the defeat of the UA inbeing successful in its other manifoldpurposes.

Intelligent re-direction of existing gov-ernmental bodies is unique to our plat-form. One example includes our interestin the relationship between the dorms,the fraternities, and the Dean's office.Living groups are the very basis of stu-dent life, and thus many individual stu-dent interests. In my mind, practical,responsive representation of all under-graduates can be achieved through acohesion of Dorm Comrn, the IFC, theDeans, and the faculty through the UA.No one should go unheard. Self deter-mination of both living groups and indi-viduals can only be accomplished with apower structure to make them possible.

Money is certainly just as dear to ourhearts as are parties. Everyone agrees thatmore is needed.

Where it will come from is not soclear. First, we can hope for-more direct-ly from the Institute. A program oflogical and well presented needs caninsure this. Second, that which alreadyexists in the budget must be carefullyreviewed and considered, possibly forre-allocation to better use. That onlymakes sense. Lastly, and again, uniquely,we believe that the UA can support anactive fund raising role, an aspect lost inthe recent past.

The UA can reach you with everything- money; political support; current ath-letic, social, and club events; UROP andjob opportunities; faculty contact; aca-demic and living exchanges; you name it- if you make it so. We don't think thattrying out new ideas to acheive moreresults than those of the past could

possibly be considered a waste. If streak-ing is required to arouse the student body(their interest, that is), great. Still, themeans must be supported by responsible,experienced leadership with practicalends in sight.

Finally, I should like to thank bothThe Tech and MITV for doing an out-standing job in reaching you with ourthoughts. We look forward to using themin the future to the direct benefit of you,the Undergraduate Association. We stillneed your help, so please vote. Thanks.

Steve Wallman.& Jim Moeody

(Continued from page 4)ernment must get back to the people forideas, communication, and decision-making.

3. PROJECTS - Our third goal is toaccomplish specific projects. These in-clude: more campus-wide "big weekend"social events (Kaleidescope, carnivals,etc), more concerts, food and fuel co-opsbetween dorms and fraternities; strength-ening and getting more money for thehousemaster-tutor system, reinstitute tu-tors in fraternities; publicize and increasethe Harvard Exchange; get more moneyfor UROP, work-study, and scholarshipsiwork toward more flexibility in chartingyour own MIT education, such as apass/no record option, and more intef-disciplinary programs; help organize de-partmental stu-fac committees wherethey don't already exist; and a' travelservice. These are some of our ideas. Ifyou have an idea you want to work on,we'll help you out - with money, advice,and manpower.

We're taking a serious appraoch to theUA. We know that is has the potential todo many things. We've stated some of our

ideas and goals. Zimmerman has streaked- this may be fine, but it doesn't stateany issues, nor will it get anything ac-complished. Michel may have some goodideas and projects, and he has someprograms that he wants to run. However,it takes at least some experience withputting on events and with running pro-jects to be successful. It will take someexperience in getting things done to make'an effective UA. For the last few yearsUA's have made grand promises but havebeen unable to get the UA together or toget things done due to: lack of experi-ence, frustration, or lack of time. We'renot sure how to convice you that, for thefirst time in a long time, we're actuallygoing to do something, but we are.

We hope that you will believe this andvote for us, give Wallman-Moody thechance to do something.

(Continued from page 4)interested in the UA, then I don't regretdoing it. True there are less juvenile waysof getting the point across, but none aseffective. I streaked to get us known tothe students and to let the students knowthat there is one candidate among us whois willing to act decisively. One who willdeliver action instead of going into hiber-nation after elected. One who isn't afraidto stand, or streak for what he believes in.We will actively seek students instead ofignoring them. People who need helpafter they are screwed by the admin-istration, (ie. MacGregor, PKA, Burtonfighters, and East Campus who had to putup with construction last year) must beable to come to us and get assistance (orif we know of the incident, we will go outto help). We won't stop until we haveaccomplished our aims. Concerts aren't a

new social life, but they are a great placeto start. October, December and April aregood times to have these weekends. Mix-ers and dances coordinated with theevents of Wellesley and other schoolsshould make it impossible to find nothingto do.

How long are we to allow the admin-istration to ignore 3571 undergraduates?A Governing council will be proposedconsisting of Faculty, Administration,and Students in order to decide upon themajor issues concerning the Institute in-stead of back buster Deans such asBrowning, Wheatley, Holden, and Bishop.We will work amiably with the admin-istration but we must show the support'of the students behind us. I am convincedthat they will be more responsive whenthe realize that they are dealing with aleader instead of a nebish. The next yearwill not be an easy one for the admin-istration, but it will be an effective onefor the students. No candidate next yearwill be able to say the the UAP beforehim/her did nothing.

When I was streaking, I risked turningmy campaign into a joke. We are not ajoke and we are quite serious.. seriousenough to do something. Get the studentgovernment out of the hands of thegrease.

Making your mark in business used to mean carving a comfort-able niche for yourself and staying there. Promotion was simply amatter of time, provided you could spend 20 years in the process.But, today, business depends on technology. Technology thatcan't wait a moment if it's going to keep pace with What's happening.

That's why, at Kodak, our basic reliance on scientific researchmakes the need for creative young minds more demanding thanever. We must have people with drive and ambition, impatient toput what they've learned into practice. People who get all thefreedom and responsibility they can handle, and tackle our prob-lers with their ideas.

/ Which, were happye.i s v. hnv _h1cped many of our scientistsyield important discoveri . For example:

The woman on the left has devised new and improved photo-graphic materials for specialized scientific applications in fieldssuch as astronomy and holography. The young man is an expert onsurface analysis. His work in photoelectron spectroscopy helpsto identify unknown substances. The woman on the right has a

dual background in gas chromatography and trace metal analysis,which she's applied to analyzing pollution in rivers and streams.

They came up with new problems while solving some of ourold ones. But they've uncovered some promising answers, too.As they continue their research, you may read about them again.The oldest is just over 30.

Why do we give young men and women so much room totest their ideas? Because good ideas often lead to better products. ,Which are good for business. And were in business to make aprofit. But in furthering our own business interests, we also furthersociety's interests. Which makes good sense.

After all, our business depends on society. So we care whathappens to it.

THETECH TUESDAY, APRIL9, 1974 PAGE7

By Mike McNameeAerosmith, a rock group

with roots in the Boston area,will be the feature attraction atthe Kaleidoscope weekend, witha concert scheduled for Rock-well Cage on April 20.

The arrangements with theband, which were made by theUndergraduate Association, werethe result of a long series ofnegotiations with a string ofb o o king agents and groupswhich were started last Novem-ber, but were not settled untillast week. The band is chargingthe UA approximately $4500,according to Jim Moody '74,who make the booking.

The UA will also provide 100kegs of beer to be served at theconcert, and will spend$400-500 on an "incentive plan"to encourage sale of tickets forthe concert. There will be 3500tickets selling for $2.50 eachaccording to Moody, who toldThe Tech that they will go onsale at the TCA offices onWednesday.

Indecision and negotiationsAlthough planning for a

Spring Weekend concert similarto last year's Sha-Na-Na concertwas begun in November, 1973, a

series of mistakes and upsetplans delayed the decision onbooking a bond until last week.Moody told The Tech that theUA was originally negotiating tohave both the Grateful Dead andthe Beach Boys hold concertsduring Kaleidoscope, at a totalcost of $18,000. Scheduling dif-ficulties, however, made it im-possible for either of thosegroups to appear.

The UA then considered"every group under the sun,from the Who on down," Moodysaid, in its efforts to find a bandfor the concert. Student CenterChairman Steve Wallman '75reportedly contacted a theatricalagent in New York who had noexperience in booking rockgroups, but who still billed theorganizers $100 for his services."A couple of weeks ago, it was

looking pretty grim," Moodysaid. "Everyone involved hadgotten frustrated and had givenup."

Planning for the concert isnow progressing well, Moodysaid. "We're trying to arrange tobuy the beer and get the ticketssold," he told The Tech Sundaynight. "On this short notice, wereally have to sell the thing."

Ticket contestTo offset the possibility that

the tickets will not sell, the UAhas established an incentive planto encourage students to sellthem. Each living group candesignate a representative to selltickets for it; the representativewho sells the most will be ap-pointed Master of Ceremonies ofthe concert and will be awardedprizes by the UA.

Lacrosse tBy Glenn Brownstein

Boston College, one of NewEngland's better college lacrosseteams, clobbered MIT's varsitystickmen, 14-4, in a game playedThursday night at BC's AlumniField.

The game was totally domi-nated by BC, who outshot theEngineers 59 to 20 (35 to 13 ongoal) and cleared the ball fromtheir defensive zone 14 of 17times as opposed to MIT's 1 of26.

MIT could not put togetherso much as a three or four passattack more than once or twicein the first three quarters, whileBC threw the ball around almostat will. The aggressive Eagledefense forced many MIT stick-handling turnovers, while theEngineer middies and defense-men had difficulty dislodgingthe ball from the elusive BCattackmen.

MIT's overworked goaltender,Jeff Singer '77, despite somefirst quarter problems with theAlumni Field Astroturf, played agood ballgame, stopping manyclose range attempts and comingout to challenge many an Eagleattacker. Co-captain GeorgeBraun '75 had a good game,firing five shots on goal, scoringonce and assisting once (on agoal by Roy Greenwald '75), aswell as picking up eight of nine-ground balls. Evan Schwartz '75added two more goals on threeshots, completing the Engineerscoring.

BC put the game out of reachalmost immediately, tally sixstraight times in the first quarteron only ten shots on net. TheEagles ran the count to 9-0before Greenwald put one bythe BC goaltender, who hadbeen tested only twice beforein the half, eleven minutes intothe second period.

In the third quarter, BCtallied three times in the firstthree minutes and then substi-tuted freely, sending in most oftheir JV players. Against thislesser competition, the Engineersmanaged to form an attack,

Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately) the rains followed, and the game had to be called off with thevisitors in front, 2-1, in the fourth inning.

This game and rainouts at Boston College and Trinity have meant a week's inactivity for the varsitybaseball squad which could seriously hinder the team's progress.

On.Sunday, however, the JV team managed to get in a game, defeating BU, 6-3. Five pitcherscombined to hurl a one-hitter for the Beavers. Photo by Bob Olshakerpractice field.

Bv Dan GanttPoor Henry Aaron... After years of semi-obscurity while

plying his trade in Milwaukee and Atlanta, he is finally getting thecredit due him. Yet his assault on Babe Ruth's home run recordhas only served to touch off a running battle between theCommissioner of Basebail and the Atlanta Braves.

The entire situation could have been avoided had the Braveshad the foresight to not announce their intention to hold Aaronout of action until the Braves' return to Atlanta. Regretfully, thatwas not the case.

The Braves' contention throughout the controversy has beenthat Atlanta fans deserved to see Henry set the record, but Icertainly am not one to buy that line. For if the fans of any city"deserved" to see Aaron hit number 715, they were the fans ofMilwaukee, not Atlanta.

To my way of thinking, the only real motive behind theBraves' decision was money. Fan loyalty certainly never crossed theminds of the management eight years ago when the Bravesdeserted Milwaukee, and I think it's a terrible shame that Aaron'smoment of history was being used merely to fill a ballpark for themen he has served so faithfully over his lifetime.

So it is that I admire Commissioner Kuhn's attempt tomaintain a measure of integrity in baseball. It is a sorrycommentary on professional sport in general, though, that he hashad to resort to dictatorial power to force the issue.

My only regret is that Aaron didn't manage to hit bothnumbers 714 and 715 in Cincinnati last weekend. Thankfully, hemanaged the record-breaker before the Atlanta owners were ableto fill the stadium more than once; now maybe Henry will be ableto relax and play as ball whenever he's needed.

The opening of, the baseball season has not always beenfrought with such serious arguments. Nonetheless, some of thebest free-for-alls of the year invariably take place when a coupleof baseball fans get together to compare their predictions for thecoming season.

So, with an eye to provoking whatever I can, I present foryour criticism my predictions of the outcomes of the fourdivisional races:

AL East: Although an unpopular suggestion in these parts, Idon't believe anyone can stop Baltimore. An Oriole hater foryears, I'd like nothing better than for Boston or New York toovertake them, but the Birds simply have too much strength.

AL West: I have a sneaky hunch that Kansas City is going todethrone the A's. As long as Charlie Finley keeps stirring uptrouble, a young, well-balanced Royals team can win it.

NL East: In this one, I'm going against all the experts andgiving the edge to St. Louis over a weak-hitting Mets team, apitcherless Pirates squad, and three definite nonentities.

NL West: Cincinnati faces a tough challenge from the Dodgersand perhaps from the Giants, but a strong pitching staff shouldcarry the pennant.
