As for those graduate stu- dents who have lost teaching jobs to incoming students, the graduate school dean said he hopes to be able to offer more positions for such jobs as re- search assistants.

By Storm KauffmanAction on the proposed

Riverfront rezoning plan is stillpending, following the first ses-sion of the City Council since itrecessed for the summer.

The Cambridge PlanningBoard is in the process of re-viewing the situation and willsoon present its recommen-dations for Council vote,

David Vickery of thePlanning Board states that theRiverfront plan is to be the firstin a series of steps to bringzoning laws into line with thereal conditions throughout thecity.

The city is over-zoned at 145units per acre: the density isactually far less than that. Therezoning would provide for abasic density of 60 units per acrewith special bonus alternativesto permit a maximum of 120units.

When originally announced atthe beginning of the summer,the plan was opposed by severalgroups, MIT among them. At

that time, Assistant to the Chair-man of the Corporation WalterMilne, speaking for MIT at ahearing, termed it "probably themost extensive and drastic re-zoning and reduction of valueever attempted in Massachu-setts." (The Tech, August 4,1973) He also condemned it asbeing unfairly aimed at land-owners in one district.

MIT, which may own as muctas 30% of the land accoriding toVickery, has retained counsel tocontest the legality of the pro-posal. Milhe told The Tech thatthe only action that MIT hastaken over the summer was forthis counsel to prepare a tech-nical statement of theobjections.

A city rezoning lawyerstudied the proposal at the re-quest of Cambridge. Vickerybelieved that the lawyer hadfound that the plan should beable to pass any of MIT's statedobjections. However, Milnepointed out that the report hasnot yet been released and that

only the City Manager should bein a position to know its con-clusions.

MIT has indicated itsapproval of a program called"planned unit development."Although this form of develop-ment permits mixed land utiliza-tion and is less restrictive thanformal zoning, it has not been"enabled" by state legislation,and Cambridge is thereby forcedto seek an alternative. Vickeryclaimed that the city's proposalshould fulfill all that MITwishes.

Kiev oound' beqtsvAt their regular price of $199.95, a pair ofTDC Via loudspeakers are an excellent bargain.At their "Back to School" sale price of $130 apair, they are an outrageous bargain. Thesespeakers were designed by people whose pri-mnary concern is high fidelity--not high profits.Employing a 10" woofer and 2/4" tweeter(crossed over at 1,500 Hz), TDC Vla's produceextremely realistic bass and clean, accuratehighs. The good looking cabinets are finishedin walnut with a stain resistant vinyl coating.Come into Tech Hifi's specially equipped soundrooms and compare them with speakers costingtwice as much. You'll be as impressed as wewere when we first heard them.

2-he oveshma $V$ems OT99This $200 component system should solve the biggest problem that a freshman

encounters: making friends. New friends will mob your room to listen to the clarityof the TDCla loudspeakers driven by the Rotel RX-150, and you can take a break totalk to them without constantly changing records. The BSR 310X stacks up to sixrecords and changes them automatically. Moreover, the tubular tonearm on the BSR31OX turntable tracks the magnetic cartridge so lightly on the records that your newfriends can bring their own records without fear of damage or wear.

The Rotel RX-150 AM/FM stereo receiver will pull in all those live broadcastsfrom the local Blues & Jazzclubs as well asthe live Boston Symphony and Pops con-certs. Its tuner has a 60 dB signal to noise ratio (that's excellent) and an IF rejectionof 70 dB for transparent quiet reception in difficult reception areas (the Boston areais noted for this). The Model RX-150comes housed in wooden cabinet and includesfunctions for two speaker systems, illuminated dial pointer, separate bass and treblecontrols, front panel headphone jack, and 15 rms watts of continuous power (less than0.5% THC).

The list price of this BSR / Rotel / TDC system is $275, but all Tech Hifi storeswill have this system displayed for $199 - that's a discount of 27%.

"in ancient education, generally music, i.e. vocal and instrumental, came first," from ahistory of Education in Antiquity, by N'.1. Macroy. The ancients believed that all ed-ucators should have an understanding of music, in all its many forms. What better wayto study this concept than through a stereo system from Tech Hifi. "The Educator'sChoice" system includes a Harman-Kardon 330a AM/FM receiver, two EPI 100 loud-speakers and the Miracord 620U turntable; it sells for $449. The Harman-Kardon 330awill receive with "first row" clarity all the FM stations in the area. Its continuous rrnspower is 45 watts, entirely enough to drive the EPI i00 two-way loudspeakers. (TheEPI 100 is EPl's first and most popular speaker). The EPI 100'sare noted for extremelinearity in response and natural high frequency tones. TechHifi has chosen the Benja-min Miracord 620U turntable for use in this system because of its freedom from turn-table rumble and inner groove distortion. The ADC 900 induced magnetic cartridgecompliments the superior tracking abiltiy of the Miracord 620U and will be installedand adjusted at TechHifi by your salesman. Make music first in your life with compon-ents like this EPI/Harmnan-Kardon / Miracord / ADC stereo system from Tech Hifi.Price includes base, dustcover, cartridge and walnut cabinet for the receiver.*The Harrn n Kardon 330A is fair trade priced at $199.95

PAGE 4 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1973 THETECH

The abrupt cancellation of 9.60, detailed in Letters to the Editor onthis page, highlights a critical issue - faculty concern for students.

The listing of the subject in the catalogue and the schedules bookmay well have been an error; the professor who left MIT could not havebeen kept; and there may indeed be an equivalent course at Wellesley.

While there may be some virtue in not duplicating courses offeredelsewhere, there is no virtue in carrying 9.60 for years with thebracketed notation [Not taught 7X-7Y school year), and even less inmistakenly not offering it.

Professor Teuber told The Tech the course may be offered thisspring. We hope so.

We also hope that every MIT department occasionally remembersthat it does not exist solely for research and graduate student education.Undergraduates deserve more notice of changes directly affecting themthan they received in this case.

The whole field of course offerings, including the occasional oneswhich are cancelled for lack of interest, should be examined. "May becancelled" might be an appropriate warning to be inserted when needed.

It's a first step.

CONTRIBUTORSSeveral people contribute regularly to

this editorial page. In order to assist youin understanding their point of departure,we offer the following thumbnail des-criptions.

Mark P. Fishman '7? has been an MITundergraduate for six or seven years,majoring in philosophy and physics. Hehas been called many things, but iscurrently listed on the masthead as"Editorial Staff." He is a registered con-servative in New York, and wishes to beknown as a cynic.

AMichael D. M2cNamee '76 is a hoosiermoving himself from mathematics to poli-

tical science. Currently an associate newseditor, he is fast becoming an ex-Republican due to the corrosive effects ofBoston's political atmosphere.

Norman D. Sandler '75 is "the BlondeWonder" and a political science major.News Editor of the paper, he is a died inthe wool Democrat in spite of his roots inthe land where the tall corn grows (Iowa).

Paul E. Schindler, Jr. '74 is a son ofSloan (Management major), and currentlyedits this page. His hobby is reading theengraving beneath the great dome on hisbrass rat. He fancies himself something ofa liberal democrat.

To the Editor:The first 9.60 lecture of the term was

scheduled to take palce at 3 pm onWednesday in room 4-370. The courseappeared in the catalogue and the sched-ule book. It did not appear on theschedule cards of the 30 people whocame to the lecture hall for the firstlecture.

After the traditional ten minutes, oneof the people present got up and calledthe Psychology Department headquarters,only to discover that the course had beencancelled!

This course is only one of six that canbe taken to fulfill the upperclass psych-ology department requirement. One ofthe other courses has an inescapablepre-requisite, leave little choice for anupperclass psychology major who has notalready taken the pre-requisite.

The course has not been offered forseveral years.

The Department said it wasn't offeringthe course because the instructor whowas expected to teach it wasn't going tobe at MIT this year. When did they knowhe was not going to be here?

Why didn't the department inform thepeople who had signed up for the coursethat it would not exist? Can't someoneelse teach it? What other course might beoffered as a substitute besides a Wellesleycourse, which offers substantial logisticalproblems?

This incident is a good example ofpoor communications between a depart-ment and its students which has resultedin inconvenience for the stdents. Itcould have been prevented.

noth1 S O fBy Mark Fishman

Ergo is with us again! Volume VI,number I of that illustrious journal, "TheCampus Voice of Reason," has openedwith a thundering 'Challenge to Dogma-tism" in which Frank Peseckis [notedcommittee chairman and defender of(private) property rights] relates onceagain the thrilling tale of his fight againstBias In The Department Of Philosophy. Iurge all freshmen to read it, and upper-classmen to renew their acquaintancewith it, particularly those of you who are"concerned with ideas," for whom I offerexplanation hereinafter.

I have often been accused of being,myself, a Student of Objectivism, whichsuggestion I find slightly amusing (to saythe least). It is amusing because I takequite seriously Miss Rand's injunction notto take anything "on faith." includingand especially her philosophy oaf Objec-tivism. (italics mine) Those who questionher writings, though they might disagreewith her conclusions, do her philosophygreater service and pay her greater hom-age than those who do not. It is impor-tant, therefore, that the charge of educa-tional bias at MIT not be ignored, even ifonly because it is presented by a self-styled advocate of academic freedom,property rights and reasoned discourse.

CABE (Committee Against Bias inEducation, read: Frank Peseckis andfriends) claims that the MIT PhilosophyDepartment suppresses or ignores view-points different from the prevailing opin-ions of its faculty members. This islargely true. While it would be witty torespond that the Chemistry and Physics

Departments do likewise, for example as

THE WIZARD OF ID

regards the Phlogiston Theory of Com-bustion, that would miss the point: thephlogiston theory is considered laughableby the majority of practicing scientists. Itwould similarly miss the point to claim,analogously, that Objectivism is consid-ered laughable by the majority of prac-ticing philosophers: for numbers of ad-herents do not determine the truth orfalsity of any doctrine. Fifty millionFrenchmen can be wrong (and often are).

Peseckis would agree, I trust, that afully privately-owned, financed and oper-ated educational institution has no re-sponsibility to teach any viewpoint withwhich the trustees or owners disagree. Hewould further agree, I think, that no oneshould be forced to contribute to thesupport or spread of any doctrine withwhich he disagrees. So he would agreethat, given that no deception is practicedas to the nature and balance of thecurriculum at such an institution, thevoluntarily attending student has had norights violated.

And here we come to the point: for ifMIT is a privately operated institutionthen its openly admitted bias in favor ofwhat CABE terms Analytic Philosophyharms no one; and if it is not then all.beliefs, however irrational, however wide-ly or narrowly held, must be taught inproportion to their representation amongthe contributors to this university'ssupport. This last would be a clear viola-tion of the academic freedom of indivi-dual professors to teach - profess, if youwill, their own opinions and beliefs - asthey see fit; it would be an abrogation ofthe ability of a responsible faculty tomaintain its standards, whatever theymay be, and it would mean vastly in-

creased tax burdens for the taxpayerswho foot their state educational bills.

In short, there are only the followingmoral courses of action for Peseckis: hemay take his tuition money elsewhere, ifMIT is so very intolerable; he may learnAnalytic Philosophy and the opposingpositions so well that he can, as it were,"beat them at their own game," and hemay oppose all government support ofeducation so as to maximize his marketchoice and minimize political coercion. Irecommend all three.

As to the Philosophy Department it-self: the philosophy faculty fools no oneof any sense, and those of little sense arelittle use to them. If there are other validviewpoints than the- ones they present inclass, and there are, it can only bebecause some members of this faculty areeither derelict in learning their field orafraid they have chosen their beliefswrongly and wish to avoid comparisons.These are saddening considerations. "Ifany man can convince me and biing hometo me that I do not think or act right,gladly will I change; for I search afterTruth, by which man never yet washarmed." (Marcus Aurelius, MeditationsVI, 21.)

No one can reasonably doubt the rightof any teacher (or CABE member) to beonesided; I would doubt his intelligencefirst.

A note to my new readers:My columns appear sporadically and

deal with anything; news or not, it mnakeslittle difference: I only want to set youthinking. To quote the late John W.Campbell, my purpose here is 'to try toinvestigale the nature of the stuffing inany suspiciously bulging shirts around."

plied that "We will see that this neverhappend again, It was a very bad error.We tried to get a correction in but missed.I will personally supervise the course, andit will be offered second term this year. Itwill differ from its focus of the past,becoming, in a sense, an extension of9.00 examining "Conflicting Images ofMan." We have a problem, with a full-time staff often serving some 1,600undergraduates; sometimes we cannot of-fer as many courses we we would liketo. ")

poor taste in advisors. But, nevertheless,it seemed sudden: the realization that Iwas no longer Nixon's man, no longer aloyal defender of the mandate against theliberal hordes that lay without the walls.

That was and is the sinmple truth.(Nixon)

So now I'm fed up. There's no betterway to express my feelings, or thefeelings I observed this suimmer in myhome area, the Midwest. People are tiredof Watergate, but they want more than a"peace with honor" -- more than theforget ti ng-a n d-turning-to-other-mnattersfor which the President asked in hisspeech. They want a resolution of thewhole affair, a final settling, so that theycan have faith in their government once

By Michael McNameeI'm finally fed up.As the weeks have gone by, it has

become increasingly clear that both thehearings themselves and some of thecommentaries on them hlave become in-creasinlgly absorbed in an effort to im-plicate the President personally in theillegal activities that took place. (R.Nixon, 8/16/73)

I'm fed up, and I'm not alone. Fed upwith a president who is so paranoid andimpersonal that he can't even say "me" -he has to say "The President" (caps his),like a royal third person! - while hecondemns his "enemies" for attackinghim. Fed up with enemies lists, break-ins,plumbers, and a man who bugs hisbrother - can you believe it!! his ownbrother! - "in the interests of nationalsecurity."

Others have stated it more eloquently,others have made reasoned arguments forreprehension about the whole corruptmess that is now known as Watergate, butI - and the thousands or millions ofothers in the real world who have broughtBig Dick's popularity to an all-time low -can best express our feelings by saying -FED UP.

Hello, this is a friend. Helen Douglasis a Communist. I thought I ought towarn you. She's a Communist. (Nixoncampaign worker making phone calls dur-ing campaign against Helen GruleyDouglas for California Senate seat.)

I'm not what some conservativeanalysts would call a Nixon-hater, some-one who has hated Tricky Dick sinceAlger Hiss and has always wanted to'get" him. I was a rabid Nixon supporterfor a long time - not a Haldeman orColson, mind you, but a Loyal Supporter- and this lasted right up through the1972 election.

When people said they could neversupport a man as fundamentally dis-honest or incompetent as Nixon, I justscoffed or pointed out his (or Kis-singer's?) record in foreign policy. WhenThursday printed a 'Last Word" ofquotes and anecdotes like the one above,i just figured it was a gnashing-of-the-teeth for all the liberals who were ob-viously backing the wrong nman. In thosedlays, Watergate was a mere gleam in BobWoodward's and Carl Bernstein's eyesfive Cubans, a couple of ex-White Housepeople, and a phone number in an addressbook where it shouldn't have been.

Time went by; Nixon won the electionhandily (or McGovern lost, for those ofyou who read The Tech),, thus calmingmy and Middle America's fears.' Every-thing seemed to be going along well - Icould even irritate the McGovernites withan occasional "49 to 1, eh?", when I feltit was necessary. Then, Watergate startedgrowing.

To most of us, the term "WCatergate"has come to mean not just a burglary andbugging at party headquarters, but awhole series of acts that either representor appear to represent an abuse of trust.It has come to stand for excessive parti-sanzship, for "Enemies L ists," for effbrtsto use the great institutions of govern-ment for partisan political purposes.(Nixon)

I'll admit, it wasn't all Watergate thatbrought me to change my mind. Misman-agement of the economy, the secretbombing raids in Cambodia, the paranoia,the mistreatment of the press (like anamateur in my field, I tend to be sensitive

about such thingsj - they were all there,even before Watergate, but it wassuddenly harder to ignore them, harder topass off the indications of bad govern-ment, corruption, and what Mr. Nixondelicately termed "excessive partisan-ship." ("I'd run over my own grand-mother to get the President elected":Charles Colson.)

It all started to come back: the car-toons, the caricatures, the jokes, thealleged incidents that I'd heard about foryears ;ind had never quite been able topass over without some misgivings. Itseemed sudden, although it was a long,slow process of realization that the Presi-dent of the United States was not quitethe saint that he was supposed to be -that, at the very least, he had terribly

Being fed utip is an ambiguous state. Itlacks the fanaticismn of the genuine anti-Nixonite, the "IIet's hang the bastard"type; but it certainly can not be satisfiedwith a continuance of the status quo, afeeling of security or trust in the Presi-dent's actions. Long experience hasshown me that the best way to eliminatethe "fed up" feeling is to get to thebottom of the issue, settle the matter,and get it over with. I think that many ofthe American people feel this way; I hopethat that is what will be done in the nearfuture.ri

JudComm appears to be wise enoughto withhold comment when it has notadequately established the truth of itsinformation. The Tech apparently prefersto publish whatever it can lay its handson,

What has evoked this letter from me isnot so much the content of the rushingviolations article as it is anger over what Ifeel to be a basic malpractice in currentAmerican journalism. Where news is lack-ing or inadequate, the press creates newswhere interesting public opinion is lack-ing cr indifferent, tlhe press establishes it.

According to this viewpoint, the pub-lic has no mind. It cannot itself take barefacts, judge them, and then formulate itsown opinion. Rather, newspapers selecttheir facts for their own obscure ends;and what facts do appear in the news-papers are masqueraded, following thewhim of the editors_ The reading public,subjected to the tasteful color of JudgeSirica's necktie or the probings curve inSenator Ervin's eyebrow on one person'sopinion of the "strain on relations" be-tweern two otherwise friendly MIT frater-nities, finds its news ready-made and itsrnews persona-es accused, investigated,judged, and convicted long before thespeculative article has even left the pressoffices for the first timne.

When I finally pick up any newspaper,77he Tech included, and find news on thefront page and opinion clearly on theeditorial page, then I will feel that mutualesteem, again exists between the news-paper and its reading public.

By Paul Schindler"It's an idea whose time has

come," said Craig Reynolds'75,who, with David Olive '76 hashatched the idea of a closed-circuit news program for MIT.

"We'll start off with a 15minute news program twice aweek," Reynolds said, '"not be-cause that's all the news there is,but because that is probably asmruch as our staff will be able todo."

What staff? "There's just twoof ius now, but we will be active-ly recruiting staff once we getfunded. "

Who might fund such anenterprise? "We've asked forhelp from the Council for theArts and other sources We hopeto get it soon. We're only askingfor $2,000."

The money, according toReynolds, will mostly go for aportable video-tape unit, as theshow will use video-tape ratherthan the traditional film to pre-sent news that occurs outsidethe studio.

The budget also includes S2for a bottle of champagne tochristen the equipment.

By Howard D. SitzerEarlier this summer, Professor

George C. Newton wasappointed Executive Officer ofthe Electrical EngineeringDepartment. Professor Newton'sduties will include the adminis-tration of the departmentalbudget and the coordination ofpersonnel. Although he doeshave some input into policydecisions, he will be primarilyconcerned with policy imple-mentation.

Newton sought the positionwith the hope of adding newdimensions to the office. Byorganizing in such a manner thateveryday routines could behandled by others, he will beable to conduct forward-planning-within the departmentand continue to pursue his indi-vidual research interests. Hisprojects are involved with auto-matic control and instrumenta-tion, electromagnetic com-ponents systems, and digitalcontrol processes.

Due to the normal comlDi-cations that arise at the begin-ning of each semester, Newton'stime is fully committed to ad-ministration. He will serve as a" central processing office"dedicated to meeting studentdemands. Although he mustf o rego his teaching respon-sibilities, he will be participatingin an innovative program underthe direction of Professor Y.T.Lee of the Aeronautics andAstronautics Department. Theprogram focuses on acquaintingall students with invention, in-n ovation, and research and

{Con tinued from page 1)MIT faculty have been selectedto receive Carnegie Foundationsupport. They are ProfessorsMildred S. Dresselhaus of Elec-trical Engineering, Mary C.Potter of Urban Planning, and

Sheila E. Widnall of Aeronautics.Womrren of Boston University,Brandeis University. HampshireCollege, and the University of

Massachusetts are also eligible toparticipate in the Carnegie Pro-gram.

The funds will be adminis-tered by Professor Melissa L.

Richter of the University ofMassachusetts at Boston. Stu-dent interns will be paid for timeinvested in theirseifctuies

or research projects. Most stu-dent interns will hopefully beinvolved in engineering ratherthan pure scientific fields, sincethere are fewer women now inthe engineering aspects of scien-

tific work.The proposal was based on

the premise that women under-graduates would benefit morefrom faculty advice on theircareers in these fields than menstudents, since there are lesswomen already in the areas andless sources for advice at theirdisposal. Therefore, the programaims to provide an outlet forwomen- to discuss career planswith the female faculty membersinvolved in the project.

"There are a couple of wayswe would diffr fronm the al-ready existent news media, Forexample, I think there is morenews on the front page of Ergothan there is on the front pageof The Te ch.

"Not MIT news certainly, butthe limit of an MIT student'sinterest is not Memorial Driveand Vassar Stireet. Who is Presi-denlt and where. we are fightingour latest war, or our next one,is also of interest."

The format is dictated bay themethod of distribution MtITVwill use, at least at first. CAES(Center for Advanced Eingineer-ing Studies) has offered thegroup thle use of a black andwhite studio.

Thus the department servesbasically as a referral service.S ometimnes, the woman will besent to a local clinic or hospital,but at other times she will besent to New York State, wherethe facilities are more numerous.

The current demand in theBoston area is much greater thanthe facilities here can handle.Although three abortion clinicsare on the verge of opening, andseveral hospitals perform the op-eration, many religiously affil-iated hospitals refuse to performabortions.

The state legislature, undere-,treme pressure from influlen-tial interest groups, recentlypassed a law stating that individ-ual hospitals can refuse to per-form abortions.

The medical department alsooffers follow-up counseling ser-vices following the operation.The fee for an abortion generallyranges between $250 and $500,depending upon the individu alhospital or clinic. MIT pays thefirst S30G under the normal in-surance plan.

There will also be opportuni-ties to operate and improve onother aspects of studio opera-tion, such as switching andspecial effects, Reynolds stated.

By David I. KatzThis fall's crew season brings

a new look to the MIT Pierceboathouse. His name is Bill Mil-let-, the new varsity lightweightcoach. A graduate of North-eastern (1969), this former cap-tain of the NU heavyweight crewhas seen international com-petition in the World Champion-ships ir 1969, the Pan AmericanGames in 1971, the 1972 Olym-pics, and most recently, the1973 World Championships heldlast month in Moscow.

When asked about the condi-tion of the MIX lightweight crewprogram, Mi~eystated that fromwhat he has seen and heard inhis eight years on the river, MIT

seemed to havre "a solid program

-with good backing from the ath-

letic department and a lot of

student support. A building pro-gram." He also expressed a greatdeal of excitement in that thisyear's squad "has a lot of poten-tial. A lot can be done."

Miller's philosophy of rowingis not too different from whathas been seen here at the Insti-tute in the past few years. "Crewrequires a great deal of dedica-tion and hard work. But itshould also be enjoyable. Sonmecoaches go at it so hard thatthey forget about- the enjoy-ment. The two can go together."

When asked about the "MIT

style" of rowing, Miller said thathe does not plan to change thestyle too much. "If I see some-thing that is hurting a boat, thatwill be changed. Otherwise, if alleight men in a boat are rowingtogether and the boat is movingwell, I'll keep it."

Aside from these commentsfrom the coach, there seems tobe a new feeling of enjoyment inrowing and an increased desireto row. This can only be a goodsign for the lightweights who forthe past three years have showna great deal of potential in theearly part of the season but have

been unable tseason realizing this potential.

and Esref Unsal '75 paced the1973 MIT soccer team to a 2-2tie with Clark University in theiropening pre-season scrimmageheld Wednesday-

The game was characterizedby aggressive yet sloppy play byboth teams. MIT's offensive linewadst-e numerous scoring oppor-tunities, although Clark's full-backs and goalie played strongdefense in turning away a num-ber of shots inside the penaltyarea,

Clark's offense was containedfairly well by the Tech defense,except for two lapses, once earlyin the first half, and again in thefinal five minutes of the game,resulting in the two goals.

Despite MIT's erratic play,Coach Williami Morrison's com-ment that this year's squad has agood chance of breaking .500for the first time in eleven yearsappears soundly based.

The return of most of thestarters fro-m last year's 6-8squad including Greater BostonLeague All-Stars Yoshida, Unsal,

Goalie Rich Straff '74, and Cap-tain Mark Abkowitz '74, is ex-pected to play a large part inguiding the team's future. Inaddition, an exceptionally largeturnout for tryouts, numberingover 70, should improve theteam's depth.

MIT will play in a pre-seasontournament at Keene St'ateCollge in Keene, N.H., alongwith Amherst, Norwich, andKeene State, before opening theseason Sept. 26 at Harvard, ex-pected to be Tech's toughestopponent this year.
