By Kent Pitman"We are going to have 80-85

more kids [in the class of'S1 ] thanwe planned on," Director of Ad-missions Peter Richardson '48said last Wednesday.

In spite of a resolution by theAcademic Council, a high-levelplanning group, last December tolimit class size to 1000,Richardson confirmed that 1102people have already told M ITthat they will definitely attendclasses here in the fall.

He insisted, however, that"that number is not going to holdup - at least it never has in thepast." He explained that some ofthose persons are expected tochange their minds at the lastminute, making the actual classsize approximately 1080.

The trick is in successfully be-ing able to calculate how manystudents who receive acceptanceletters from MIT will actuallydecide to attend. The percentagevaries greatly from year to year.Last year, 47 percent of those ac-cepted arrived in the fall, this year56 percent have said they intendto do so.

anom Hall to be dorm againBy Marty Weinstock

Random Hall, an MIlT-ownedbuilding located four blocks fromM IT's main entrance, will againbecome a dormitory nextSeptember.

This decision was made by theAcademic Council last monthbased on a projected freshmenclass si/e of 1 080-1085. accordingto Associate )Dean for Student Af-fairs Kenneth C. Browning '66.This size is 80-85 greater than thatoriginally desired by the MIT ad-ministration.

Random fHall was temporarilyused as a dormitory from 1967 to1970. :For the past seven vear- it

has servcd as a lodging houseprincipally for visiting fellows andacademic staff as well as variousstudents.

The abundance of freshmancausing this decision results fromthe Admissions Office un-derestimating the "vield" orpercentage of admitted studentsaccepting their offer to attend

A class size cf t080 shouldresult in overcrowding the dor-nitior, system by 109 students -versus 96 last year - according toBrow ning. Cartola Eisenberg.Dean for Student Affairs, notedthat none of this crowk ding will oc-cur in Randonm Hall.

Among the other options con-sidered was that of overcrowdingthe dorm system by just over 200students. "WNhile studentsgenerally are cooperative and cantry to work through" this is "nota one year problem-' Brow,,ningasserted. adding that a "lot of up-perclassmen" would be affected.

The fraternities can not beovercrowded both by the natureof the assignment process and thefact that they normally use all thespace that they have available.Browning indicated that due tolast year's poor rush theInterfraternity Conference wasnot anxious to expand.

Graduate student housing,used for undergraduates in 1974-75. could not be used due to thecorresponding shortage in that

system. 'This left housing outsidethe systemrn. Random Hall wasalready licensed as a roominghouse and naturally came up.Browning indicated.

The Campus Housing Office iscurrently surveying Random Hallfor minor renovation and repairwork as well as a furniture inven-

tory. They are hoping to have itcnpty by the end of July for pestcontrol work as well as lockchanging and scrambling.Clcanup. patching and somepainting. a safet, survey. lightingand radiator repair. and installa-tion of bookcases are alsonlanned or underway as well assomeic other renovation work.

"A.nv major work that aillhave to be done xill have to bedone next 'ear." Eugene Braini-nier, Director of Housing andFood Services indicated. Somestructural work on the roof aswell as external masonr,, and win-

ldow work i; planned for next yearbut "we can't wait to get all the

numbers in before we startsomething [now]." he remarked.

A portion of the August workwill be the conversion of a singleon each floor to a common area.This will leave the building with42 singles and 29 doubles, spacefor exactly 100 men.

Fifteen dormphones will be in-stalled for the residents, EverrettButcher '76 of Dormphone repairindicated. They are to be run overeight rented New.[ EnglandTelephone lines to Ashdo',wnHouse where they tie into MIT'sLDormphone s' stem.

Asinari killer sentence to lifeBy Dasid B. Koretz

The second of two men arrestedfor the 1975 murder of an MITjunior was sentenced on June 21to life imprisonment in theWalpole State Prison.

John J. Blodgott. 26. ofMethuen. Mass., was arrested bNFBI agents in Houston., Texas onMarch 7, 1977 after a two-)earnationwide manhunt. Blodgettand Robert Shaughnessy. 22, ofSouth Boston. were indicted by, aSuffolk County GC;rand Jur:,, inMIarch. 1975 for the brutal slayingof John Asinari, a 20-year-oldpre-medical student.

Asinari died early on the morn-ing of March 22, 1975, of injuriesreceived when he and a compa-nion, Robert M1oses '76, were at-tacked by four men with whomthey were riding. Moses wasseriously injured but eventuallyrecovered.

According to a Boston Globereport Moses testified at the trialthat Blodgett was the driver of the

car that stopped and picked upthe two students on Massachu-setts Ave. in the Back Bay at2:30 on the morning of themurder.

Moses said that the man in thefrornt passenger seat v. asShaughnessy. s ho hanged himself-in the Charles St. Jail in Nov..1975. Trhe two men in the rear seat

hase not vet been identified or ap-prehended.

According to Moses'testimony. Blodgett stabbed himrepeatedly. wounding him eighttimes; Shaughnessy attackedAsinari in an even more frenziedmanner. Shaughnessy then shotthe two youths at point-blankrange, according to the testimony.injuring Moses in the arm andhand, and Asinari in the ear.

When the car stopped on EastSecond St. in South Boston aftera 50-minute ride, the studentsmanaged to escape from the vehi-cle. Moses was able to escape

There's more to MITthan just academics

By William Lasser - ,In September of 1969 the members of the Classf'7" arrived on

campus. They paid S2250 each in tuition th'eir First year. The Techwarned them that they would have to '"face up to some issues biggerthan weekly problem sets."

Eight years later, tuition has almost doubled - to S4350 a year. Themood on campus has changed about as much as tuition: this year, thetoughest problem most freshmen will have to solve will probably comefrom an N.01 or 5.41 homework assignment.

The decisions faced b, MIT freshmen - where to live. what tostudy. how to spend their time - seem at first dvarfed by the massivesocial issues confronting their counterparts of a decade ago. Before theClass of '"3 entered its second year. it had already lived through sit-ins.riots. strikes and demonstrations both at MIT and on college campusesall across the country. the climax corning in May of 1970 when four stu-dents were killed at Kent State.

It must have been quite an education. MIT %as described as apolitico-technological pressure cooker" in a The Tech editorial. with

the emphasis presumably on the "politico." The "technological"probabl? refered not to science or engineering in general. but to MIT'srole in w eapons research and other war-related'pursuits. Education wasplaced on a back burner; indeed. the Institute ended its spring term ear-ly in 1970. follovwing the Kent State tragedy.

.NIl IT is still a pressure cooker. One undoubtedly gets quite an educa-tion here. But political activity is practically nonexistent - the MITstudent body yawned itsvway through the Presidential election last fall.then turned around and"elected an Undergraduate President and VicePresident who promised "leaves on the trees." and. like Jimmy Carter.peace. love and happiness.

If MIT students eschew politics. they are intimately concerned witheconomnics. especiall> of the practical variety. From the beginning of

freshman year through graduation andbeyond, the overriding concerns seem tobe jobs and money. Grades hax e becomeovxerwhelmin9gly I mportant. at the ex-pense of extracurricular acte lites andsimple fun. MIT has become not an endin itself but a means to future success-be that medical school. graduate school.mone? in the bank or a two-martinilunch.

Because of ever-incrcasing tuition.shrinking job markets and unceasine

,ompefltiton. today ' college students hav,.e little time to deote to social,-dc s c ha;e become used to listening not to Vietnam casualties onirte e rcni' ext ne. hlut to "}cadinv economic Indicator," and the con-.- mer pr,.- index } ar fronm aeng idealistic aitruist-. toda.'s collegectaudernl are almost selfish opportunists.

It i.. well documented that in times of economic crisiL., men directthelr eneri.ze,e towards seltf-survival. But an education does not consist,' coure, and 'rades alone. It is also important to use four years of'o'lege _i an opportunitx to explore the world around you while stillhcting protccted and insulated in an artificial academic environment.Ten xcar, .o -:he itorh towers of academia were invaded by- real worldpt.iciadn. and bureaucrats A hose only task was to find willing and un--k 1ling. soliders for a .er\ real war. Today. the invasion is an intellec-tUai one: we are succumbing to economic pressures vhich we couldc.Lix itnore until at least graduation.

O)f the four ycars ait MIT. the first one :s the most important. Awelcomne indtcation of *here MIT stands philosophicall? is freshman

.a lil grading: the educational emphasis is less on specific course''matertia and mrnore on deeloping a modus operandi for enjoying andtaking full advantage of MIT and the real world. In practice. thingsd,)n't alNways .ork out that way. Spurred on by pre-mrneds who insiLtthat }!arfard realIlx des care abotut .our 5.41 grade. freshmen ignorethe -ealth of opportunities waiting for them outside the classroom.

-There are man3 choices to make during R'O week. Most of themwon':. make anx difference. Twenty, years from now. no one will askwhether you took 8 01 or 8.012. Three months from now, the li`ing,roun you selected at 3am .will be home.

The hbiggest decision is one you will make long after R/O week:hether or not to take full advantage of everything the Institute offers.

Well. everybody else has had achance to talk to you, the incom-ing class of 1981, in some form oranother. Now it's my turn. Icould use this space to repeateverything that has been said inthe five of so pounds of paper thatthe Freshman Advisory Counciland others have sent you. but in-stead.

Mlany have already told youthat R'O week will be one of thebest times of your life. Well. IAon't tell you that. Of course. Iwon't dispute it either: I leave it toyou to decide for yourself. Manyof us arc working hard to see thatthe opportunity is there. Most of%ou will have a good time here.but a few of you will inevitablyhave a few problems that prove tobe an annoyance. and wkill standin the way of your getting themost out of R;O \Week. I think itis a good time now to remind youof the resources available.

The first place you will seeuwhen .ou arrive on Friday.September 2 (or possibly Thurs-

Star Wars is space opera t its finestNo 4Star Wars: a Lucasfilm Ltd. Produc-tion: starring Mark Hamill. Harrison Ford.Carrie Fisher. Peter Cushing and Alec Guin-ness: also starring Anthonv Daniels andKenny Baker: written and directed byGeorge Lucas: produced by Gary Kurtz;special photographic effects supervised byJohn Dvkstra: a Twentieth Century Foxrelease. rated PG. Soundtrack on TwentiethCeniury records. music written and con-ducted by John Williams, featuring theLondon Symntphony Orchestra.

By Katy GroppThe latest space opera to hit the movie

theatres. Star Wars is also the best. Com-bining magnificent special effects with fastmoving action and a high degree ofsuspense. George Lucas's brainchild hasbrought the fun back to the movies, awelcome throwback in the wake of a never-ending procession of ultraviolent, disasterand supernatural films of recent years.

From the opening, the movie clearlydemonstrates the awesome care and in-novation present in the animation andspecial effects. Visible for more than onehalf of the film, they are so well executedthat the tell-tale mattelines are almost im-possible to find. Everything looks natural.From the breathtaking view of theTatooine System and the futile attempt ofthe Princess's ship to flee from the immenseImperial cruiser. to the intricate dogfightbetween the rebel X-wing fighters and theImperial TIE fighters over the Death Star,no opportunity is missed, no detail isoverlooked.

As fantastic as they are, it is the absolutethoroughness of the special effects thatmakes the movie so astounding. The eyesof the Jawas, Luke's binoculars, PrincessLeia's plea for help, the double sunset onTatooine, the landspeeder, the lightsavers,the jump to hyperspace, the monster chessgame. the weapons fire, the incredibledetail of the surface of the Death Star. . .the list is endless and the result is nothingsnort of spectacular.

Marvellous attention is given to the crea-tion of this galaxy "far, far away." Typicalis the scene at the bar - the wide array ofbelievable (and sometimes comical) aliensdrink to the music (believe it or not, Benny

Goodman) of the also alien house band.Lucas takes advantage of this setting forHan Solo's "discussion" with the Galactichit man employed by a smuggler namedJabba. The multi-language conversationdoes much to further the impression of atruly distant galaxy.

No previous science fiction movie isnearly as realistic as Star Wars. Instead ofa society where almost everyone is of thesame species, carrying exactly the sameweapons, flying their brand-new identicalspacecraft, there are bounty hunters, smug-glers, at least four types of blasters, fourmodels of fighters, various starships, manykinds of sentient beings, not to mention themultitudes of "droids." All of the sets havea weatherbeaten, used look that adds to therealism of the movie.

The cinematography is superb. Scenechanges are used to keep the film movingrapidly. Though there are breathers everynow and then. the movie never drags. Eachscene has its purpose - whether to swaythe audience's sympathy or to keep thesuspense buiding and the plot moving. Nota frame is wasted. Angles are used withgreat success - the perspective given as thehuge Imperial cruiser passes overhead inpursuit of the Princess is fabulous.

Centering on the two droids, C-3PO(Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (KennyBaker), the story follows them on theirjourney as stowaways on an escape podenroute to the arid planet Tatooine. Theyargue, separate, and are both captured by

Jawas, the diminutive local junk dealers.After a rather shaky ride in the amazingholding area inside the Jawas' decrepitsand-crawler, along with an equally amaz-ing assortment of droids, the two are soldto a farmer, Owen Lars (Phil Brown). Thatnight R2-D2 runs away from his new hometo fulfill a mysterious secret mission, andthe farmer's young nephew, LukeSkywalker (Mark Hamill) follows him thenext morning taking C-3PO along. Afteran altercation with the Sand People, thetwo droids and Luke plunge into a series ofadventures that take them from Mos EisleySpaceport to the monstrous Death Star,rescuing the Princess Leia Organa (CarrieFisher) along the way, and finally involving

y them in the ultimate race against time in anattempt to destroy the pride of the Empirebefore it destroys the rebel base.

Although the movie tends to be a seriesof chase scenes, the acting is more thanadequate. Of the major characters, C-3POand R2-D2 have by far the most difficultroles to play. Overcoming the major han-dicap of not being able to use facial expres-sions, they both do a tremendous job.Daniels, in his portrayal of the fussy in-terpreter C-3PO, makes slight inflections inthe droid's monotone and in his jerky mo-tion go a long way, and Baker, as R2-D2,combines the turnings of a hemispherical

head with the continual amalgam of noisesthat is the little droid's language to producea startlingly life-like effect.

The droids have their own personalitiesand intentions. R2-D2 deliberately de-ceives Luke into removing his restrainingbolt, which frees the diminutive droid torun away. C-3PO has periodic memorylapses concerning the Princess. At thebeginning of the movie, he knows exactlywho she is ("There will be no escape for theprincess this time"), then he later tells Lukethat he doesn't know who she is, only thathe believes she "is a person of some impor-tance."

Of the rest of the characters amassed inthis futuristic fairy tale, Hamill gives a fineperformance as the frustrated Luke, who

For nine consecutive days during R/O Week, The Tech will publish every morning. Each morning our backpage will contain the Daily Confusion, the R/O Committee's guide to each day's events. Each morning 7heTech will keep you informed with what you need to know here at MIT. Each morning The Teck will entertainyou. And each morning The Tech wil be distributed free.

We're inviting you to join us. Our doors will be open 24 hours a day during that week. Even if you don't thinkyou're interested in newspaper publishing, stop by; there's much more to us than many people realize. We caneven find a place for you to work with us if you want.

Come up and watch us come out every day.

That's something no other MIT newspaper has ever tried to do.

Maybe that's why our most optimistic person blinked when he heard what we are going to do ... and thensaid, "'That sounds fantastic!"

This time we've undertaken a project so big that evenour most optimistic dreamer blinked.

Weave tackled big ones before: a comprehensive index of every article which has ever appreared in our 97-yearhistory; special sections analyzing current controversies at MIT; computerizing our production facilities.

Each time we Have special thought to our idea, studied it from journalistic, financial, and manpowerviewpoints; we consulted with our staff and with our consultants. To many potential projects we've given"thumbs-down" for any of a number of reasons.

This one got "thumbs-up."

Scientific organizationsattack Senate's DNA bill

By Mark JamesCries of undue restriction of

scientific research and complaintsabout uncalled-for limits on thepublic health powoers of localgovernments have greeted newlegislation in Congress that wouldregulate recombinant DNAresearch.

This research, in which thegenes of different species rangingfrom lower animals to man arelinked to those of bacteria, hasaroused.controversy for over ayear. Opponents of the researchclaim that new and possibly dan-gerous organisms might becreated by this process. peri-menters maintain tat ther'is lit-tIe - if any - hazard involvedand that the benefits to under-standing the function of geneswould be large. possibly includ-ing insights into cancer.

Two bills, one in the House ofRepresentatives and one in theSenate. have been put forward.Both would create federal regula-tions which would supersede localrules unless the locality wasgranted an exemption under com-plex rules that differ between thetwo bills.

Several scientific organizationsobject to the independent federalregulatory commission that isproposed in the Senate bill, charg-ing that it would create un-necessary red tape and restrictfreedom of inquiry. Its backerssay that the bill is not an attemptto dictate research.

Cambridge City CouncilorDavid Clem, a sponsor of theCambridge ordinance passed inI:ebrualry to regulate recombi-nant work, said that local regula-tions had been drafted in a'ieasonable manner" and shouldnot be "thrown out the window."He said that local regulations

were valuable in that they mav re-quire researchers to come beforethe public and explain their workon a local basis. "We've got tohave an educated public," hedeclared.

the Inter-Society Council forBiology, which 'comprises chiefexecutive officers of seven profes-sional organizations" in thehealth and biological sciences, haswritten a letter supporting theHouse bill, which is favored overthe Senate version by many re-search groups as being less re-strictive.

MIT's Assistant to the Chair-man of the Corporation WalterMiine said that he has been fol-lowing developments in Washing-ton and talking to many of thoseacting in opposition to the Ken-nedy bill, but that MIT as an in-stitution has not taken an officialstand on the issue. "I'm not surewe ever would - that's not ourstyle." he said.

The House bill, sponsored byRep. Paul G. Rogers-(D-Fla.) issimilar in many respects to theSenate version, but would enforceregulations through local Bio-hazard Committees instead of thenational commission.

Clem charged that the lobbyingby scientific groups is a last ditcheffort to minimize controls on theresearch, a "self-interest re-sponse." .

He said the charge that theSenate bill would establishgovernment controls on researchsimilar to those in Nazi Germanyand Stalinist Russia is a "grossoverstatement."

The public has "learned from[its pasti overreaction" to thehazards of the research, Clemsaid, and has made up "soundregulations" without "giving in tothe Doomsdayers."

Among those opposing tightregulations are 137 scientists whoattended the 1977 Gordon Re-search Conference on NucleicAcids. TheN stated that they were"concerned that legislative mea-sures now under consideration byCongressional, state and localauthorities will set up additionalregulatory machinery so un-wieldy and unpredictable as to in-hibit severely the further devel-opment of research."

Included in the group whosigned the Gordon letter were I IMIT researchers: Professors ofBiology Uttan Rajbhandaryv,Alexander Rich and Paul Schim-mel, Associate Professor DavidBotstein, Assistant ProfessorGraham Walker, PostdoctoralFellows Arnold Berk, DaphneBlumlxrg and J. Bert Flanegan,and Research Associates EugeneL. Brown. Joyce Hackman and'Nadrian Sceman.

Currently, all research fundedby the federal government mustabide by guidelines establishedlast year by the National tInsti-tutes of Health. These rules spec-ify both physical and biologicaltechniques intended to preventthe escape and survival of organ-isms used.

Almost all university researchis controlled by these guidelines,but private commercial researchis not.

The Federal Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) cited thisstudy in calling for a ban on theuse of the substance, a'ban thatmet with an immediate and strongoutcry from diet productmanufacturers and many privatecititen .

The FDA was planning onamending the proposed ban to al-low for the sale of saccharin as adrug. but is has delayed the entireban in order to further study newevidence appearing to link sac-

The FDA was required to seekthe ban under Delaney Amend-ment to the Food. Drug, andCosrnetic Act which declares that"no additive shall be deemed tobe safe if it is found to inducecancer when ingested by man oranima ."

Since the announcement of thepossible ban, this clause has be-come covntroversial, despite theFDA's claim that thes Aouldhave proposed the ban even %ith-out the Delarney clause.

Life's picturesdeadline. The rnag.. zinc frequently prac-(iced the art of overkill by sending a dozenphotographers and twice that number ofreporters and researchers to cover a singlestory. Yet this extravagance in both moneyand manpower made Li]e, what it was.A'hen budget cutbacks eliminated this kindof "-wastefulness," Life was no longer Lifeand after the Near-end issue in 1972, it wentthe wav of the other picture magazines.

That was the Life deals with the workingsand happenings of the publication. It takesa look at %,hat went on behind the scenes:how the members bought up a favoriterestaurant because it was about to closedown, the frequent staff parties, the prac-tical jokes. as -ell as the "children's hour,"and football games and other forms ofviolent pla~ in the office. The book bothamazes and amuses. Hamblin combines thesheer daring and gall of the magazine andits staff with aspects of the personalities ofthose involved and the fun they had as theirhairbrained stunts unfolded.

Dora Hamblin's book is an interestingchronicle. It makes light and enjoyablereading reminding one that fact is notonly strangeT, but often also a lot funnierthan fiction. The book is, in a way. ahistory of a publication that was the best inits field. a field that has largely faded out ofexistence.

By reading the book. one experiences themagazine, getting caught up in the activityand becoming a part of the family whichproduced Life. A possioi¢ Caw in this bookIs that at times Hamblin assumes that thereader Is as fascinated with a certain personas she was. but this problem is relatively in-.lignificant.

The existence of the- Musical TheatreLab does not guarantee that the quality ofcurrent musicals will automaticallyimprove. But now that public taste andopinion will indicate the direction andstyles of the shows, which won't initially besubjected to the sometimes caustic pens ofthe critics, it is fair to say that at last, thereis hope for the American musical theatre.

failure on Broadway is costly in terms ofboth money and careers. The economicfactors which once motivated the musicalare now destroying it; the risks involved inproducing a lavish, full-scale musical aretoo great. Consequently, the quality andquantity of musicals have decreased, andthe general state-of-the-art has reached anabysmal low.

The Musical Theatre Lab intends tocreate an atmosphere free from anydevastating commercial pressure.Therefore a tacit agreement exists among

By Kathy HordisEditor's note: Associate Arts Editor

Kath Hardis '78 lives in the Washingtonarea. and has filed this summer report.

At last, after many years of artisticdecline, the American Musical Theatrefinally has hope for survival.

This revitalization of one of thecountry's most popular artforms is fosteredby an innovative idea called the MusicalTheatre Lab. The lab, currently situated atthe John F. Kennedy Center for the Per-forming Arts in Washington, D.C., wascreated by the Stuart Ostrow Foundationto '"help replenish the treasury of theAmerican Musical Theatre." Includedamong the Foundation's Board of Direc-tors are such musical theatre greats as BobFosse (director of Pippin) and StephanSondheim, (creator of A Little NightMuxc).

The lab presents a series of "workshop"productions of new and original musicals,staged in unabridged form and cast withprofessional actors. The physical produc-tion - lights, sets, costumes, props, andorchestration - is kept to a minimum: theLab seeks to "create a flexible rehearsal at-mosphere where play wrights,choreographers, and directors can experi-ment artistically."

The performances of these musicals arefree and open to the public. Audienceresponse to each work gives a general in-dication of the musical's potential for suc-cess, and each piece can be sufficientlyrevised and rewritten before launching itinto the real theatrical world.

Followers of current Broadway musicalsrealize that successful shows are few andfar between. Over the vears, there havebeen many more bombs than hits. Duringthe heyday of the American MusicalTheatre, writers and lyricists were givenample opportunity to develop their styles,to learn from experience. Nowadays a

Besides writing the lyrics to guestkeyboardist Craig Doerge's song "ShadowCaptain," Crosby contributed only twosongs to the album, but both are good."Anything at All" is a slow cut very wiilsung by Crosby with imaginative har-monies from Stills and Nash; "in MyDreams" is a gentle daydream-like song,and one of Crosby's best.

Beyond the individual songs and perfor-mances, however, the harmony of Crosby,Stills, and Nash is what really distinguishesthis album from the solo works or anything

else. These three men perform vocalacrobatics on "Cathedral" and on Stilsexcellent "I Give You Give Blind," and ingeneral show a unique vocal finesse.

As for Neil Young, it is perhaps betterthat he didn't take part. The trio has a typeof unity that would be diluted by thepresence of someone-like Young, whosemusical ideas are so much different fromtheirs and whose ego would again endangerthe group.

At least for now, Crosby, Stills, andNash are together again, and the musicthey've made shows that they should staythat way.

Committee plean's Dean's Office forumBy Mark J. Munkaesy

Editor's note:.- Mark Munkacsy,as Chairman of The Tech. is amtember of ithe Dean's Forwm.

A Dean's Office planning com-mittee approved last week thecreation of a forum to discuss andresolve Institute-wide problems,and recommended that the firsttopic be MIT's current policiespertaining to evening classes.

The twelve-member planningcommittee included members ofthe Dean for Student Affairs Of-fice. faculty, and students - bothundergraduate and graduate. Thecommittee, chaired by AssistantDean for Student Affairs HollyHeine '67, has been attempting toset goals and define a viablestructure for the forum.

"The real key to success... isgoing to be the information dis-semination," according toDouglas McLeod '77, one of themembers of the planning cor mmit-tee.

The planning committee feltthat this was especially importantwhen issues were tackled forwhich no solution exists. Early in-ternal memos among planningcommittee members indicate thatpossible forum topics could be sophilosophical that the questionraised is not "What is thesolution?" but rather, "Is there aproblem or even a potentialproblem?"

The planning committeeforesees the forum tackling two orthree different issues each term.

CRYODYNAMICS

Given, superconducting mag-nets are at least 20 times, or 2.000per cent. more efficient than elec-tromagnets. Electric motors get

Alexandria, Va. 22304

Assistant Dean for Student Af-fairs Holly Heine Is one of themembers of the Dean's forumorganizing committee.Each topic would involve twomeetings of the forum. The firstmeeting would includebackground discussion, andwould serve to define the

problem. Invited to this meetingwould be representatives fromany Institute offices with an in-terest in the topic being discussed.(The tentative invitation list to theinitial evening classes session in-cludes representatives from theRegistrar's Office, Schedules Of--fice, and the Committee onEducational Policy.)

The follow-up meeting, heldseveral weeks later, will enablethe forum's 25 members tobring back student and facultyreaction to the first meeting. Atthis time, the planning committeehopes. the forum, together withthe representatives from involvedInstitute offices. will work out asolution to the problem being dis-cussed.

According to Heine the forumwilrrnot hand" out decisions. Shesees problem resolutions being

made by the people affected bythem. One member of the plann-ing committee said that the dis-cussion is far more importantthan the decision. and that thegroup wants people - especiallystudents - to understand thetradeoffs involved in many of theproblems MIT faces.

The planning committee is cur-rently selecting the members ofthe forum - as well as searchingfor a name for it. "We have topick a name other than 'forum,'"explained Heine. who feels thatthe word 'forum' impliesa moreamorphous structure than theplanning committee intends.

Dean for Student AffairsCarola Eisenberg's proposedsolution to the problem of thename for the forum is to "buy anextra ice cream for the one whocomes up with a good name."
