A. Stoddard, Vice President in- charge of Operations. The memorandum, dated October 13, 1970, contrasts ten possible plans for comparative projections of income and ex- pense for the Dining Service. Eight of the ten contingency plans call for the closing of one or more of the currently oper- ating dormitory dining halls, though none of the residents of any given dorm have indicated that they want their own cafe- teria closed. Under plan one, the currently existing situation, with all dining halls open and West Campus dorm residents required to take commons meals, the Dining Ser- vice runs a projected net deficit of $122,500. Under plan three, with all dining-hails open and commons optional, the overall Dining Service deficit is only $118,600. All figures in the memo are predicated upon the following President Howard W.

Hence, all projections are in- exact by the factor of projected increases in both sales and ex- penses being compounded over two years in the calculations. Dining Service estimates that if commons were made optional and all cafeterias remained open, 65% of the male and 50% of the female residents would stay on commons, with the remainder of the residents spending 30% of their present food budget within the system. The best single plan of the ten, in the sense of closing the fewest dorms and losing the least amount of money, was repre- sented by maintaining com- pulsory commons but closing the Ashdown House Dining Hall, which loses more money than any other cafeteria when in operation. The combination of compulsory commons and the closing of both Ashdown and Burton dining halls would result in a projected loss of only $4800, the lowest loss Dining Service would have had in recent years. By contrast, however, the closing of the same two dorm- itory dining halls, coupled with (Please turn to page 7) assumptions, according r to Cantley.

MIT changesBoth Friday and Saturday

sessions seemed to hinge heavilyon the changes MIT is under-going both structurally and withrespect to the changing attitudesof the student body.

Many alumni seemed reluc-tant to accept the idea thatcollege students- today arelargely confused about wheretheir lifetime and career goalslie. In addition, there seemed tobe considerable sentiment forre-introducing some of theaspects of the MIT curriculumthat existed in the 1930's, sucha-, blacksmith shops and stur-- eying courses, so thatengineering graduates wouldhave a "feel for the actual hand1 Lbor involved."

Student actvismOne of the most predominant

topics' throughout the dis-cussions, however, was studentactivism. Many alumni seemedto feel that "social awareness"should be something that devel-(,ps after graduation.

The impression was left onsome that the alumni by andlarge have not been able to keepup with the "many changeswhich are and will be takingplace," and that the conferencemade relatively little headway inaccomplishing its avowed pur-pose.

Foster feels that his exper-ience as an educator "reinforcesmy belief that there are brightpeople in this country who maynever know that they are brightuntil somebody just puts thefinger on them like that sergeantput his finger on me.

"There are Black stu-dents ... who need somebodyto put the finger on them;. butnot just put the finger on them,-but also'provide them an oppor-tunity to learn - and that's what,we're doing here [in the ex-change program I."

Foster is enjoying his stay atMIT. "I often wondered," hesaid, "how it would be to workand teach in a place like this.And I believe it meets with whati expected it to be like: bright

The future might also seeMIT students spending a semes-ter at a southern Black school.Foster reports that several stu-dents have expressed an interestin such an exchange.

Foster credits the staff of theCenter for Theoretical Physicswith originating the idea for theexchange, and adds that "theBlack Student Union had awhole lot to do with it."

The grandson of a formerslave, Foster grew up inGadsden, Ala. At the age of 17,he dropped out of the 7th gradeto help support his family. "Ihave a good knowledge," hereports, "of what it means to bein poverty, and of what it meansto face a racist society."

He was later drafted, and itwas when he wasin the militarythat he decided he should con-tinue his education. "It was inthe service that somebody puthis finger on me and encouragedme and motivated me to havefaith in my own ability." Thatperson was his sergeant.

He eventually went back toschool, completing grades seventhroughl 12 in nine months time.He graduated with high honorsfrom Fisk University,. a Blackschool in Nashville, Tenn. In hissenior year he won a fellowshipto study physics at-MIT, but arecurring illness forced him tostay near the hospital in Nash-ville.

After completing his mastersat Fisk, Foster began his Ph.D.,'

He feels that the programgoes beyond the benefit to vis-iting Black students. "It in-creases understanding betweenpeople . . . you see, this is atwo-way exchange."

Words fail to match our horror as we consider These observations suggest what student effortsmight be the most appropriate response to thegrand jury's report. Mass marches would havesmall effect; letters to congressmen or_ haranguesagainst Nixon will likewise do little to repair thebreach within our country.

We can only again emphasize the need'andimportance of direct contact between universitiesand Middle America. Too many adults retainprofound misconceptions about students' atti-tudes, goals, and overall life styles. Pre-election

the latest development at Kent State University.That a grand jury could find the National Guardblameless and turn instead to indict only studentsserves to demonstrate the breadth of the gapbetween the liberal and conservative elements ofour society.

The grand jury report must not be construed asjust another facet of some Washington repression.Indeed, putting the shooting itself in a properperspective requires the admission that the federalg9vemment had no direct link with the killing.Both these events resulted from decisions made at.the grass roots level, by the grass roots people.

What factors may have influenced their deci-sions? The effect of Agnew's rhetoric (separatingbad apples, etc.) cannot be denied. And com-munity elements may have felt compelled to stepin and provide order when the school adminis-tration proved weak. But students must considertheir own actions another of the prominentfactors. Last spring's violence was not the firstdisruption for the Ohio campus; disorders in April,1969, culminated in the arrest of 58 persons. Andthe students' often belligerent attitude may haveprovoked both the guardsmen and the jurors.

PhysicalThree weeks ago The Tech offered the fol-

lowing observation on an area crucially in need ofreform:

"When the MIT Commission report is releasedin November, it will undoubtedly cover a widerange of issues. But there is one minor point thatwill probably be ignored, as all other committeesand study groups have ignored it in the past.

"We speak of that epitome of classical educa-tional rigidity, the object of hatred for hundredsof tools - the physical education requirement.From out of the misty past, this dogma has sur-vived to harry and worry undergraduates. LikeMontezuma's curse, it threatens the physical andemotional well-being of those who ventured ontothe campus.

"During summer vacation, hundreds of letterswent out to hundreds of students, warning themthat they were ineligible for a degree unless theysatisfactorily completed four quarters of physicaleducation.

"What kind of justice is that? A student canspend four years attending all those lectures, grind-ing out dozens of problem sets, rioting for a lowertuition, and still be denied a degree for failing towork up a little sweat. In this modern, enlightened

canvassing provides one way for effecting suchcommunication, but efforts need not be limited toa few fall weekends. Students home for theOctober vacation (and later vacations-as well)should visit their neighbors and discuss recentdevelopments on campuses and within our society.The best way to combat Agnewistic rhetoric isface-to-face contact of our own.

- Those who believe that meaningful socialchange can be achieved with college-centeredactions are deluding themselves. The way to avoidfuture Kent State tragedies, and the way to beginrepairing our country, lies in extensive communi-cation with the rest of our population.

Educationage, such anti-intellectualism cannot be tolerated.

"The inscription on .the old Field Day trophyread, 'He who shuns the dust and heat of thearena shall enjoy the cool shade of the olivebranch of victory.' Surely that is sufficient pun-ishment for those students who disdain takinggym."

The Student Committee on Educational Policyhas already begun its program for action duringthe fall term. Nothing on the physical educationrequirement. President Johnson has released hisannual report on MIT. Nothing on the physicaleducation requirement., The University ActionGroup has complained vocally of mistreatment ofMIT tenants. Nothing on the physical educationrequirement.

Isn't anyone out there listening? Damnit,members of our own editorial board may bebarred from the degree list for not putting out alittle sweat twice a week. Our own informal survey(using the latest techniques, we picked out atypical member- of the student body) provedconclusively that the time for change must benow. We call again on both faculty and students toend this repression of MIT students and remove "8units of physical education" from the list ofrequirements.

lukeboxmachine apparently were swayed by the argumentthat the box was a magnet for Cambridge children.Yet the fact remains that this is one of the fewnickel jukeboxes left in Boston, and the music hasproved a source of satisfaction for those studentsweary of bouts with the pinball machine.

It is not too late to see justice done. The Techurges all students to register a written complaintwith SCC (office: third floor of the StudentCenter). A massive display of student sentimentshould suffice to prove that music does have aphce at MIT.

Relaxation may not rank with the above twoissues on any rational scale, but the students' needto find some pleasure deserves our concern andrespect.

The Tech was dismayed to learn recently froman authoritative voice (the Student Center Com-mittee chairman, who wishes to remain anony-mous) that the third-floor jukebox is on the way.out. The SCC decided to reward this beast's longand faithful service by unceremoniously showingit the door.

THIE TECH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1970 PAGE 5

By Emanuel Goldman'"Revolution is the one

change man has never made inhistory: to recognize that humanlife is sacred." Even though shecalls herself one, Joan Baez is norevolutionary; she is a visionary.She admits her goal is "a changethat will take 20, 30, 50 years. Itwon't happen overnight." CarryIt On tells the story of a year ofher life, dating from a monthbefore her husband David Harriswas sent to jail for refusinginduction into the army. Thetitle reflects the basic premise ofthe film: with Harris in jail, Baezhas to '"carry it on." And ulti-mately, it is up to the rest of us.

As a social document, CarryIt On brings-an important, albeitunwitting, perspective to theradical movement. In this era,both, the left and right usuallylump the opposition into ahomogeneous grouping. Butimplicit in Carry It On is the factthat the leftis very hetero-geneous indeed. Many of usoften tend to blur the enormousdistinctions between the violentand non-violent left. It is a dif-ference much larger than'tactics;" it is a difference of

life-styles, a difference reflectingfundamentally distinct philoso-phies. As Baez states, "A littlemore violence is just adding tothe heap."'

In her frame of reference, the

SDS to contemporary studentattitudes. Perhaps HCIS fearedcreeping subjectivity, but thereader finishes with the feelingthat the 'SDS was operating outof touch with their fellow stu-dents.

And the report could haveattempted a better analysis ofthe reasons for the intensehostility between the variousSDS factions. Incidents ofviolent confrontation betweenProgressive Labor members andthe Revolutionary Youth Move-ment were frequent enough tomerit consideration.

This report may help silencethose who see the student move-ment as the monolithic arm ofsome monolithic internationalcommunism. HSIC states clearlythat "the SDS is not known tobe directly linked with anyforeign organization" and pointsout that factionilism set in quiteearly in the 60's.

And for those enjoying localcolor, the be )k is a reminderthat our country's universitysystem does not revolve aroundBoston and Cambridge. MikeAnsarra is the only local radicalhonored with a place in the re-port, and the Harvard strike onlygets a passing mention. Bostonhas been free of the destructionthat plagued other areas.

The book provides a usefulreference and background forthose studying campus activismin this country. It is availablefrom the US Government Print-ing Office for 70 cents.

By Alex MakowskiAnatomy of a Revolutionary

Movement: Students for aDemocratic Society. A report ofthe Committee on InternalSecurity (HCIS), House of Rep-resentatives.

The nine midwestern andsouthern congressmen on HCISare sufficiently conservative toview the Vietnam conflict as"North Vietnam's communistsubversion, terrorism, and ag-gression against South' Viet-nam," yet, nonetheless, their re-cent report on the SDS providesan interesting and valuableaccount of this ten-year move-ment.

Perhaps it is merely the styleof the 175 page document, butthe -authors seem to have leanedover backwards to avoid lettingtheir own biases creep into theirstudy. In fact, one senses agrudging admiration for theidealism of the organization'searly founders.

The book traces several im-portant themes through the pastdecade of SDS prominence.HCIS details the SDS rise topower on the crest of resent-ment to the war and the draft,discusses the perenially divisiveissue of whether to concentrateefforts on the campus or in thecommunity, and relates the finalsplintering of the SDS at theSpring, 1969, national conven-tion.

Though the book's research isimpressive, a major flaw was thecommittee's failure to relate the

vanguard of the revolutionwould be those people who tryto-live by love, not those whotry to coerce. Implicit in herposition is the conviction that aspeople change, changes in insti-tutions will follow. Of course,the violent revolutionaries arguein turn, that if institutions canbe changed (by force whennecessary), changes in peoplewill follow, and much morequickly.

As a film, Carry It On suc-cessfully merges the populargenre of filming real-life rock-

musical performers, and thenever-too popular documentary.Baez comes across as a full indi-vidual, with much more to herthan a stage presence or a radicaloutlook. Harris provides thenecessary dialectics, with argu-ments such as "The initialassumption about conscription isthat the life of that persondoesn't belong to him-- it be-longs to the government." To-gether, they make a memorablecouple, memorably presented inthis film. At the KenmoreSquare Cinema.

kick to the music without over-playing. In short, theYoungbloods play like theyalways do. The only possiblecomplaint about the entirealbum concerns Banana's vocals.

They are very harsh and give themusic a strange feeling alien tothe group. But it is easy to seethat the whole thing was donewith a. great sense of enjoyment.

At last, there is a new Young-bloods album. -Their last record,Elephant Mountain, one of themost underrated things of 1969,was a minor masterpiece and agrowing number of fans havebeen patiently waiting for thenext gem from the group. RockFestival, while not as good asElephant Mountazn, is a fine andwell-rounded effort.

The Youngbloods are abreath of fresh air. Their soundis different from the average,hit-'em-over-the-head approachthat so many'groups use now-

meanderings of Blodwyn Pig'sJack Lancaster. Rather,Morrissey and Quincy rely onclean smooth musicianship in-stead of gut feel. Coupled withthe rock base - especially bassistRichardson - the music flowsfresh and original.

There is a tremendous over-rangeof tired cliches and bad slangwhich makes Redford's jobmuch harder; one can almostfeel him wince as he deliverstwenty-seven consecutive- oldslang phrases.

Pollard's role is much morefitting and correspondingly easyto play; his big round face andcurly unkempt hair lend cred-ibility to an otherwise difficultrole. Pollard makes the role ofLittle Fauss into a living charac-ter; one can see him changingwith exposure to types likeHalsy and cities like Los Angeles

The primary justification forthis movie was originally goingto be a dramatization of thesmall-time motorcycle racer,with plenty of action scenes andvery little asthetic value. Theexact opposite is accomplished;by the conclusion of the picture,Fauss' and Haley's positions arereversed. It's basically a re-issueof the traditional good vs. badconflict> but done in an attrac-tive way. There's a lot of fun inthis film. Little Fauss and BigHalsy, starring Michael Pollardand Robert Redford in the titleroles, and Lauren Hutton as RitaNebraska, will be opening soonat the Cheri Theatre 'Complex.

Little Fauss is a dumpy,down-home backwoods boywith a big motorcycle. Big Halsyis a tough, capable roughhousewho knows his way around.Little Fauss and Big Halsy is afast-moving picture withminimal plot and excellent per-formances by the two principals,Robert Redford and Michael J.Pollard.

T'he action is centered aroundthe two main characters and agirl (obviously forming the"eternal triangle") with a settinginvolving some of the. mostrealistic California desert sceneson recent film. The plot calls forHalsy (Redford) to use Fauss asa means of re-entering nationalmotorcycle racing. The functionof the girl isn't entirely obvious,but eventually Halsy and Fausssplit up in a dispute over herbody.

The acting of Redford isespecially notable as beinganother step in the formation ofa new "super star." Redford'scharacteristic wide-mouthed grinis as distinctive as Clint East-wood's cigar. The part of BigHalsy is lacking in script sup-port, but Redford still managesto portray a conscience-less free-loader with no moral code.

Lobdell, under compulsorycommons, would lose $28,100as opposed to only $21,200 ifcommons were optional.

This is .because Cantley pro-jects an increased volume atboth of these dining halls ifcommons were to become op-tional. At the same time, laborcosts at the halls stay much thesame; hence, increased profit.

A final interesting note is thatcontrary to rumor, McCormickHall is not the least profitablecommons dorm due to "highoverhead." In fact, the statisticsshow that McCormick is themost profitable, being the onlydining hall on campus projectedto show a profit during the nextacademic year.

Generally, compulsory com-mons seems to lose less moneyfor Dining Service than optional;however, given that it is highly.unlikely that any of the dininghalls will be closed, optionalcommons is somewhat moreprofitable. The key differenceturns out to be reflected in theoperational deficits of AshdownDining Hall and Lobdell Cafe-teria in the Student Center.

By Naldr MWinaia -The varsity soccer team was

disappointed again on Saturdaywhen it dropped its fourthstraight game by losing to Am-herst, 5-1. -They faced anAmherst team much- weakerthan last year's but failed to doany better than last year's 4-0loss.

Amherst pretty much domi-nated the first three periods.They scored at the 6 minutemark of the first period whenleft wing McKeen took a right toleft cross pass and put it pastTech goalie Rich Straff '74. Forthe rest of the game, Amherstfollowed a pattern of shortpasses and rushes aimed atbulling its way through the hMITdefense. In the second period,Amherst center forward Stottscored at the seven and nineminute marks of -the secondperiod, both, on shots from rightin front of the goal. One cameon a semi-breakaway and theother came on a lob pass pastthe defense.

In the third period, the Tech-men fared no better. They failedto score despite two close in-direct kicks. Amherst did littleto help it either. With their 3-0halftime lead, they scored afteronly 51 seconds on a cross passand shot to make it 4-0. Theengineers had but one shot ongoal in the third period, andrarely worked the ball into thepenalty area. Amrherst finished

John Kavazanjian (14) cuts back on Amherst defender in Saturday'saction. Amherst handed the booters their fourth straight loss, 5-1..off their scoring for the gamewith a score at-'eight minutes ofthe period when McKeen scoredhis second goal of the game.

In 'the fourth period, theTechmen finally came back withthe kind of quality soccer thatthey played in the Trinity andMiddlebury games, but it wastoo late. Jerry Mackiewics '71took the ball into the rightcorner, dribbled along the endline, eluded 3 defenders in theprocess, and sent a pass out toDave Peterson '71 'in the penaltyarea, from where Peterson put ahard shot in the far corner. Withthe shutout broken, MIT relaxed'and played well but the game

was obviously out of reach. Therest. of the period saw anexcellent short passing game butthe engineers had the sameproblems that had plagued themin the last few games. Theyclicked on passes, but onceinside the penalty area, theycould not connect.

By'Randy.YoungStrong, gusty winds charac-

terized New England collegiatesailing this weekend, as the MITsailing teams moved into thefinal three weeks of their season.The dropping temperatures wereaccompanied by chilling breezesthat made conditions dangerousat times for yachtsmen at atleast one school in the region.

The varsity regatta scheduledto be held at Bowdoin College inMaine on Saturday was nevercompleted due to excessivelyhigh winds and lack of adequaterescue facilities.

Several other events did go-onas scheduled, however, includingthree v a rsity regattas, onewomen's event, and a freshmanmeet.

The Coast Guard Academy ofNew London, Connecticuthosted seven schools on Satur-day and Sunday for the NewEngland Sloop Championships.The event was sailed in Ravenclass boats, centerboard crafttwenty-four feet in length andmanned by a crew of cour.Three races were sailed on Satur-day and four on Sunday, and theschool with the best total scorereceived the White Trophy. Eachschool entered one crew, andboats were rotated after eachrace. MIT's entry consisted ofPete Nesbeda '71, Tom Bergen'72, Dave Mark '73, and DwightDavis '71.

The end of the first day ofsailing found the Tech crew inthird place, but going into thelast race Sunday they were tiedfor the lead. A fourth placefinish, however, dropped themto third place in the series, onepoint behind second place Yaleand two points back of winnerRhode Island. Bad luck plaguedthe MIT sailors throughout theregatta, as they suffered twobreakdowns in the seven races.The second equipment failurecame in the first race on Sunday,

when the tiller broke off therudder as the Tech crew held asolid second place.

Finishing behind MIT in thestandings were crews from Har-vard, Tufts, Coast Guard, andthe University of Connecticut,

On Sunday MIT hosted anOpen Regatta on the CharlesRiver, with thirteen schools par-ticipating. Sandy Warrick '72and Roger Flood '72 sailed in'A" Division, and sophomoresSteve Shantzis and Frank Millercrewed the Tech 'B' Divisionentry. MIT finished first in theregatta, three points ahead ofsecond place Tufts. Boston Stateplaced third.

Also on Sunday was the HoytTrophy Regatta, sailed at BrownUniversity in Providence, RhodeIsland. MIT placed fourth in afield of ten schools, -with LarryBecow and his crew sailing theDivision 'A' and Bob Hart andJohn Lacy in 'B'. The trophywas won by Harvard, with thleteam from Columbia Universityfinishing second. In third place,and one poirnt ahead of the'Techsailors, was Brown. Also com-peting were teams from Webb,Williams, Holy Cross, Yale, Bos-ton University, and ProvidenceCollege.

In the Radcilfe Fall Regatta,one of the major women's eventsof the fall season, Kathy Jones'71 and Maria Bozzuto '73 skip-pered the MIT entries to a sub-stantial margin of victory oversecond place Radcliffe. Sailing inVB' Divsion, Miss Bozzuto won

-all but one of her races.Tire freshman team traveled

to Yale to compete in a regattathere, and came away with asecond place finish in a fiveschool field. The regatta waswon by the Coast GuardAcademy, and Tufts placedthird. Steve Cucchiaro, RonaldTodd, Paul Shapiro, Wayne Mat-son, and Randy Young did thesailing for the'Tech frosh.

In key games this weekend,SAE 'A' trounced DTD and LCAnarrowly edged BTP to narrowthe playoffs for the champion-ship down to just 2 teamrns. SAEand LCA meet next week todecide the title.

In the SAE-DTD game, BruceWheeler '71 intercepted 2 passesand Steve Cochi '73 caught 3touchdown passes as SAE wonhandily, 35-0. A fine defensiveline charge together with apotent defense have been thestrength of' the SAElors this yearand these were the major factorsin the game.

Scoring a touchdown withonly 3 minutes remaining, theLambda Chi A team edged theBeta's by a 13-12 tally. LCAopened the scoring in the firstperiod when, after two BTP run-ning plays to open the game,Bob Marcunas '72-intercepted aBTP pass and went 30 yards forthe touchdown. LCA made theextra point but it was calledback for a penalty and thesecond attempt failed. BTP cameback with Rich Cassel '73 inter-cepting and going 15 yards for atouchdown. Tim Obrien '73made the score 12-6 with atouchdown to end the half.

- The third quarter saw a lot ofmoving of the ball with neitherteam dominating. In the fourth,

though, LCA put together along, sustained drive with 5-10yard pass plays mostly to JerryLoe '71 and Mike Ashmore '71until Charlie Snell '72 took aquarterback keeper over for thetouchdown. Ashmore caught aSnell pass for the deciding extrapoint. With just 3-minutes left,the BTP defense could not moveand the game ended 13-12. Nextweek, BTP and SAE meet withSAE seeking its third-straightchampionship.

In other action it was PDT 8- DU 7; SAE 'B' 27 - PLP 6;BSU 12 - PGD7;Sr. House 32- TC 6. SAM tied LCA 'B' 6-6in a game that went into 2overtimes and the first downseven at one for-each team.
