By Stephen BlattIf construction continues on

schedule, September 1 will markthe opening of half of the newWest Campus cormitory, a six-building comnplex which willeventually house 300 people.

One hundred fifty studentsare scheduled to move into theall-male undergraduate dormi-tory on September 1, with theremainder following one monthlater. Several plans for tempo-rary housing of the secondgroup, as well as contingencyplans for all three hundred if theopening is delayed, are underconsideration by the Dean'sOffice, according to NancyWheatley, Assistant to the Deanfor Student Affairs.

Unpredictable weather condi-tions leave the opening date of

lnvestigatinf

the dormitory still in doubt."Winter is the most difficultconstruction time," explainedWheatley. "if we have a badwinter, we will be delayed. Agood winter will simply keep uson schedule."

Undergraduates currentlyhoused in Ashdown, French-German House, and RussianHouse will form the core of thenew dormitory, which will con-sist of six five-story buildings.Students in French-GermanHouse will occupy one of thebuildings and those in RussianHouse will reside in half ofanother.

The remaining buildings willbe shared by undergraduatesfrom Ashdown and from the restof the Institute housing system.

paused. The crowed waited,hushed, watching her expectarit-ly. Drawing a deep breath shecontinued, " . . . c.,.o..."Asa flood of applause burst fromthe crowd, the girl turned andwalked back to her seat.

This was the scene in KresgeAuditorium on Tuesday night,January 21, when 50 of MIT's

best spellers competed in theInstitute Spelling Bee.

Winner of the five and a halfhour marathon was NormanBrenner, a graduate student inthe Earth and Planetary SciencesDepartment. Brenner triumphedover Jean Hunter '76 who fin-ished second and Hillel Chiel Gwho placed third by correctlyspelling beriberi and thora-costomy.

What is Brenner's secret?"Well, I read the Oxford Englisha tremendous amount," he said,"That helps a lot with wordroots. I'm r/ot really interestedin spelling, but I like etymol-ogy." Brenner added that "ifyou know the roots of a wordyou can make a reasonable guessas to how it is spelled."

The spelling bee, which wassponsored by the Dean forStudent Affairs Office and theNews Office, was conceived byHarvey Elentuck '75-'Elentuck,himself a spelling pro, said hethought of having a spelling beebecause "it's a fun thing and itmight be a good way to put torest some of those ideas thatMIT people are only involved inmath and science."

A week before the spellingbee, about 210 students, bothgraduates and undergraduates,took the 150 word preliminaryspelling test. On the basis of thistest, 50 finalists were chosen. "Ihad never heard of half of thosewords," said one contestant," Ijust guessed at bow to spellthem."

At first the spelling beecontestants faced such simplewords as easily, shampoo, andtrespass. As the evening wore on,however, words like amanuensis,paroxysm, and connoisseurmade the going rougher. "I guessI was just lucky I won," saidBrenner.

problem is that we're in a reces-sion, a lot of people are out ofwork, unemployment seems tobe increasing. We've got to doeverything we can to get thosepeople back to work. The Presi-dent's proposals would hicreasethe energy crisis across the boardand have a ripple- effect through-out the economy. I think itwould run counter to programsto cure the recession.

P: The President' said hewanted to reduce oil imports bya million barrels a day over thenext year. Do you think itwould be more effective to usean import quota to control hteimportation of oil?

S: I'm not sure that we canafford to reduce by a millionbarrels a day over the next year.I think that we clearly have tocut back on our energy consump-

lishing a select committeemodeled after the Ervin Com-mittee to look into the charges,and the simultaneous estab-lishment of a Democratic Steer-ing Committee group to see ifthe House of Representativesshould establish a similar selectpanel, investigating the CIA hasbecome a major preoccupationhere, from the Executive OfficeBuilding to Capitol Hill.

Six- formal groups are nowholding or considering hearings:the Presidential Commissionappointed by President Ford andheaded by Vice-President NelsonRockefeller, himself a long-timeCIA confidante: the SenateSelect Committee; the Intelli-gence Subcommittee of theHouse Armed Services Commit-tee; the proposed House Selectcommittee; and the SenateArmed Services Committee.

Even with all the investiga-tions planned and proposeddoubt remains as to whether thenecessary questions involvedwith the intelligence communityand the CIA will be asked, letalone answered. A number ofpolitical and legal roadblocksstaynd in the'way of the panelswhich want to discover what hasgone. on within "the invisiblegovernment" in the 28 yearssince the CIA was first estab-lished.

One of the overriding con-cerns of many of the investiga-tors is the degree to which theintelligence community will co-operate with attempts to studyits operations. While Colby haspledged cooperation with the"authorized bodies of the Con-gress,"" CIA has never beenwilling to allow Congress as awhole ·too much informationabout the agency's inner work-ings, preferring to deal with thesecurity-minded senior membersof the Armed Services commit-tees.

CIA cooperation with theWatergate Committee, forexample, was extremely limited.Although Colby allowed Sen.Howard Baker, R-Tenn., someaccess to CIA documents andpersonnel in his investigation ofthe agency's role in Watergate,that access abruptly stoppednear the end of the Watergatecommittee's term, according toCommittee staff.

Colby is a busy man these days.Almost every day in recentweeks, the Director of CentralIntelligence has had to leave hisLangley, Va., office to testifybefore one of a number ofcommittees, commission andpanels about charges of "mas-sive, widespread illegal activi-ties" carried out by the agencyhe heads - the CIA-,

"Things have been like amadhouse around here," CIAofficials tell callers, in the wakeof allegations made by the NewYork .Times Dec. 22. Thoseallegations included charges thatthe CIA, contrary to its legisla-tive mandate, had conductedsurveillance and amassed files onthousands of anti-war protestorsduring the 1 960's at the requestof Presidents Johnson andNixon.

Colby, a 20-year CIA veteranwho took charge of the agencylate in 1973, has been especiallyin demand, and he has been astar witness - along with hisformer boss, Ambassador to IranRichard Helms, who headed CIAduring the time in question -before the groups which areinvestigating the Times' charges.

One of the nation's foremostenergy experts, Sawhill resignedfrom his FEA position last De-cember in a policy dispute withPresident Ford. However, Fordadopted many of Sawhill's pro-posals in his energy and econo-my program announced JanuaryP5th in the State of the Unionmessage.

While it is possible to corre-late climate and food supply,Newell said, actual prediction ismuch more difficult. "Rightnow we don't understand thebasic physics," he explained,noting the need for improve-ment in monitoring climate,especially in underdevelopedcountries.

The key to climatic forecas-ting may lie in knowledge ofpast conditions. In an article inthe December issue of Tech-nology Review, Newell suggeststhat the patterns of the'ice agesmay be analogous to smallerpresent-day climatic changeswhich affect crop success.

By Lucy EverettForecasting the weather may

be one way of predicting short-ages in the world's food supply,according to Reginald E. Newell,Professor of Neteorology.-

Newell, along with graduatestudent Minoru Tanaka dis-cussed the relationship betweenfood and the weather in an IAPactivity called "Climate andFood Workshop."

One example studied in theworkshop was the failure of theRussian wheat crop in 1972. Aconsiderable amount of highpressure diverted normal rainfallfrom Russia, Tanaka explained,resulting in a 95 per cent de-crease in precipitation in someregions. An area larger thanPoland lost its entire wheat crop,he said.

The Soviet Union's subse-quent import of 14.9 milliontons of wheat, over three timesher 1971 import, came primarilyfrom the United States, Newell

move as far north as usual,Tanaka explained, causing adrought which led to starvation.

While this condition has per-sisted in Africa for many years,no trend has been established,Newell said. Tanaka suggestedthat the condition may havedeviated in the past and righteditself after a number of years,adding that in the interim "themagnitude of human sufferingwas enormous."

In the future, such hardshipmay be reduced, Newell said. "If

-- we could forecast climate, wecould predict food supply," hesaid, pointing out that the prob-lem has only recently beenconsidered in this light. Scien-tists- could use climatic data topredict which regions wouldproduce maximum yield, hesaid.

It would also be possible,Newell said, to ship grain toareas struck by poor conditions,

assuming the existence of -aglobal "buffer storage." Current-ly, the world food reserve isdown by a factor of two from afew years ago, he said, and aten-percent decline in harvestcould nearly eliminate storagesupplies which normally com-pensate for changes in produc-tion. However, he warned, noaccurate longrrange predictioncan be made because of theuncertainty of climate con-ditions.

The outlook also depends onthe type of diet followed,Tanaka added. The Americandiet is inefficient because muchof the nutritional value of grainis wasted when it is consumedby animals that are eaten asbeef. Such a diet could supportless than half the world's popula-tion using existing supplies,whereas the diet of India couldsupport over twice the globalpopulation.

the gapBy Norman D. Sandler

Washington - At the begin-ning of every session, legislativeleaders here talk of reform and arefreshing new wave of '"congres-sional resurgence,"

The 94th congress is no dif-ferent. But this year the situa-tion has changed. Congressionalleaders are not only talkingabout reform - reform is takingplace.

- The first victims of the move-ment on capitol hill were reps.Wright Patman, D-Tex., and F.Edward Hebert, D-La., chairmenof the House Banking and Cur-rency and Armed ServicesCommittee respectively.

The ouster of Patman andHebert - symbols of the Houseof Representatives' archaicseniority system - have beenattributed to this year's crop ofbrash "young" freshman con-gressmen, reacting en masse totraditions within the housewhich they believed to be out-dated.

But the new sentiment that issetting in on the nation's legis-lature is intended to produce notonly a turnover of committeechairmen, but a change in thelopsided balance of power thatexists along PennsylvaniaAvenue.

The next victim of the"movement" will not be WrightPatman, Ed Herbert, or WilburMills. Nor will it be any of theirold-time colleagues. It will beGerald Ford.

Congress has been #setting itssights on the White House, andduring the next few months, thetrue test of strength (and of

with Joe SpearWASHINGTON - The Arab world is

in an uproar over Secretary of StateHenry K issinger's remark abouthypothetical American militaryintervention against the oil states.

Vice Admiral' Frederick Turner, theSixth Fleet commander, added to thefuror by saying the Navy didn't want toinvade any oil sheikdom but was"prepared" to do so.

Now, American diplomats are tryingto calm the storm. They are telling Arableaders that Kissinger's views have beenmisrepresented by the press. Kissingerhimself has publicly disavowed his ownstatement. We can reveal, however, whatthe Secretary of State told associatesduring a recent secret discussion.

He said President Ford would notstand by while the Western world wasdestroyed by an oil squeeze. If oil shouldbe used as a weapon io destroy the freeworld's economy, Kissinger said,. it would·be just as serious a threat as a Sovietmilitary move against the West. Theresponse of the United States, he added,would be the same.

Kissinger also said he didn't think theSoviets would go to war with the UnitedStates over the Middle East, as long as theUnited States was defending the West's"vital interests."

Of course, Kissinger' stressed that theoil crisis can be solved'without war. Andin the secret policy councils, he hasvigorously opposed the Idea ofmnilitaryintervention.

Meanwhile, Kissinger has beenscheming secretly with'the Shah of Iranto find a solution to the Middle Eastmess.

The two men have developed a warmpersonal relationship. Kissinger haspersuaded the Shah that another MiddleEast war would increase Arabdependency upon the Soviets' and,therefore, strengthen Soviet influence inthe middle East. This would be a threat,Kissinger warned, to 'Iran's position.

The Shah has secretly agreed,therefore, to supply Israel with the oil shewould lose by giving up the capturedEgytian oil fields. The Shah is also willingto join the United States in.guaranteeingIsrael's survival. This is significant,because Iran is emerging as a militarypower in the M1iddle East.

Egypt's President Sadat has told bothKissinger and the Shah, mreanwhile,.thatIsrael must give up more than the oilfields. There must also be withdrawalsfrom the Golan Heights on the Syrianfront and the West Bank on the Jordanianfront. Sadat explained that he couldnever accept a deal that didn't alsoinclude his Arab brothers.

Kissinger is now bringing--pressure onthe Israelis to come -to terms with the

Arabs before it is too late.Ford's Faultfinders

-- Congress, the press and the public have-been ripping apart President Ford'seconomrnic proposals. But some of thePresident's own appointees have givenhim the roughest going-over.

At a recent Saturday White Housemeeting, the President, his energy czarFrank. Zarb and his economic adviserWilliam Seidman were raked over thecoals by the Citizens Action Committee,a group Ford set up under his '"WhipInflation Now" program.

After Seidman and Zarb briefed thegroup, Ford strolled in, expecting simplyto pass a few minutes in friendly banter.But the citizens committee unloaded onhim..

They charged that the Seidman andZarb presentation were ioo one-sided,and they: complained th'at t heAdministration was taking too hard a line-against gas rationing. One member saidthe committee was useless and ought tobe disbanded.

Ford, according to those present;calmly tamped down his pipe andlistened.

After the fireworks, the committeevoted on two proposals. One was aresolution to ask business to hold the lineon prices; the other- was to create a'victory garden" on the White Houselawn as an example for the nation.

The vegetable garden measure passed,but the price resolution was scuttled by arepresentative from the U.S. Chamber ofCommerce.

DEA DopeThe Drug Enforcement

Administration, the nation's topanti-narcotics unit, has been virtuallyparalyzed by an internal power struggle.

Congress created the DEA in July,1973, in an effort to eliminate theinter-agency rivalries that used to plaguethe war on narcotics. Our owntwo-month investigation of DEA,however, reveals that the old animositiesare still alive. Only now they are underone roof.

Office .politics at DEA have gotten sorough, in fact, that the FBI has beencalled in to investigate charges that theagency has been covering up in-housesecurity probes. And on Capitol Hill, Sen.Henry Jackson, D-Wash., has begun afull-scale investigation of the DEA.

Some influential lawmakers have toldus privately that they hope to abolish theanti-narcotics agency. These legislatorssee the-'DEA as an expensive operationthat has yielded only marginal results.

Iron OrdersWhen it comes to wage-price controls,

some businessmen get a little carriedaway. Take, for instance, the case ofRobert E. Lauterbach, the president ofWheeling-Pittsburgh Steel.

In a recent memo to all management

personnel, Lauterbach inveighs againstthe evils of controls, and issues thesemarching orders: "I 'direct you topersonally write to your Congressmanand US Senator, . on personal, notcorporate, stationary ... be forceful andcite wherever possible examples thatapply to your Congressman'sconstituency. Finally, forward to me acopy of your letter, as well as anyresponse you receive. I'm looking forwardto receiving them."

Lauterbach attached a four-page factsheet that loyal employees could refer to.To work at Wheeling-Pittsburgh, youapparently have to share the president'sideological views.

Letter- --~~~~~~~~~~?.

"°Nonl - BSW

To the Editor:Last -week ....a leaflet appeared on

campus calling for the formation of a"Non-black Students Union" under theslogan "Fight Racism in Education."Some of us went to- the organizationalmeeting on Thursday to confront thisapparent attempt to form an anti-Blackgroup on campus, but none of the sixpeople present when we arrived admittedbeing behind the leaflet and only two ofthem expressed any sympathy with it.

We do not know who. was behind theleaflet or how seriously they meant it,but, in any event, we think that racism isdeadly serious. Despite the small turnoutat this-'-meeting, the dangerous idea of"reverse racism" has gained some curren-cy. In reality, black people are generallystill forced to take the hardest, lowestpaying jobs, when they can find work atall, and to live in the worst corfditions. Ineducation they are discriminated againstin everything from IQ tests to -schoolquality. The idea of "reverse racism" isused to stir up fears among Whites toprevent them from uniting with Blacks tofight for better conditions for all of us. Infact we should all fight for increasedminority admissions, along with solidprograms of financial aid and compen-satory education.

It is racism, not "reverse racism" thatis the real problem.

Kissin iger would fre : Arabs if.0n C:ase of Insomnia -

Last ColumnBy Storm Kauffman

No lie, ace, this is truly my lastcolumn. You, my faithful reader (all twoof you), have endured through some 55of these meandering compositions, butthis is it and we are finally off the hook.

To begin the end, you people withshort memories have been dying to bereminded why this series was labelled "InCase of Insomnia," Weli, the first symp-tom of my unhinged mind was a columnentitled "In Case of Insomnia - ReadThis," which should make it all intuitive-ly obvious. (You .see, if you were havingtrouble sleeping, especially in lectures,you were supposed to read my. . . well, Iguess you had to be there.)

Anyway, my rationale for inflictingmy opinions on MIT in nearly every issueof The Tech was an attempt to standard-ize our editorial page - to 'make it areadily identifiable subunit of the paper(all the better to avoid it). I think Isucceeded: use of a fixed layout with mycolumn, the Wiz, and the mast, and MikePeters cartoons in the fall term. Unfortu-nately, the necessity to produce a columnsometimes led me to a lot of verbiagewith little content (tho wittily written) -a sort of "much to write about nothing."

But there were a number, quite a few Imay and will say, very good columnsabout various topics. The other people onThe Tech oft disagreed with me about theinterest of the subjects (the commoncomplaint being lack of relevancy or"Who cares?"), but then I contended thesame point about some of their contribu-tions (the CIA?).

Generically, it was intended more as aseries of essays, which are defined byWebster as "analytic, interpretative, orcritical literary composition ... dealingwith its subject from a limited, oftenpersonal, point of view." My fellows onThe Tech (Teckkies?) many times agreedthat my view was limited, but feared thatmy (two) readers did .not realize that it wasalso personal.

A beneficial side-effect of the regularlocation was the restriction on size: Ibelieve I was the first Editor in a longtime to not indulge in lengthy mono-graphs. When. I bored the MIT community,.Ionly did it in small doses (like now).-

As for the rest of the page, JackAnderson was added as an abortive at-tempt to summarize national gossip forthose too busy or lazy to find a Globe,but he didn't catch on and will now bedying a natural death. The ContinuingAdventures of Peter Peckarsky were aninheritance from the dim past and arepassed on to McNamee to do with as hewill. The Wiz and Mike Peters will stay.

Winding up (one finger = screwball). Imake the customary acknowledgements.All administrators and most faculty areamazingly willing to talk to the press,esecially when you consider what we sayabout the>. I thank the rest of The Techstaff for putting up with me and lettingme get away with so much. And, I dedi-cate this last column to myself, "withoutwhom it wouldn't have been possible."

In looking back, I am not particularlyhappy with my reign as Editor, but Edi-tors are rarely satisfied with their perfor-mance 'hint?). I spent too much timewriting my masterpieces and too littleattending to the operation of the paper,especially-the news dept..I let McNameeand Sandler get out of hand, which is justwhat they usually muttered about me.The whole big banana is now McNamee'sshow and I bequeath it unto him - forbetter or worse, for richer or poirer, untilhe too departs.

Oh, McNamee never thought I shoulduse big or obtuse words like pneumono-ultramicrosscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis orsupererogation and hates for me to con-clude with a parenthetical phrase (so Iindubitably will).

Although none of this year's IAP activities attractedthe attention last year's yo-yo did, there was mnorethan enough activity to keep everybody happy.,Prof.Ralph Burgess developed a "Bicentennial FloatingDome" which is due for completion in Februaryand will appear over city hail in April. The ever-popular glass-blowing classes taught students somepractical skills. Another group worked on a light-weight aluminum bicycle frame. For the less serious,President Wiesner andChancellor Gray hosted an IAPparty. And of course, there was always time to catchup on one's computer hacking.

(Continued froam page 1)The abrupt change in CIA

attitude might have been relatedto the domestic spying that wasfirst' uncovered by the Commit-tee, according to Baker staffers.The investigators had stumbledonto the identity of JamesAngleston, head of CIA'sCounterintelligence Division,whose resignation last monthwas said to be sparked bycharges that his unit had con-ducted the illegal surrveillance ofAmerican citizens. "When wementioned Angleton's name toone CIA official we were inter-viewing," a staff member toldThe Tech, "he nearly fell on thefloor. Then he asked us how weknew about Angleton."

Many of the documents re-lated to the "Baker report" onCIA's role in Watergate are beingwithheld, as the agency stalls on"sanitizing" the final report forpublic release. "One of theSenator's first concerns on theSelect Committee will be gettingthose documents back and get-ting them declassified," Baker'slegislative side said last week.

Who knows what?Even if Colby and top agency

officials cooperate with thepanel, the information availablemay not be complete. Helms,Senate sources say has intimatedto the Senate-Foreign RelationsCommittee that many of theactivities in the agency went onwithout his knowledge.

A combination of tightcompartmentalization of secretswithin the CIA and hints ofunorthodox organizationalarrangements - Angleton, forexample is said to have alwaysreported directly to Helmsrather than through channels -might make it impossible foreven Colby to find out the truth.

Mean while, Congressionalfears that secret informationmight be leaked during thevarious CIA investigations haveplaced another set of barriers inthe path of the investigators.Fear of "leaks" and comprom-ised national security secretswere so pronounced at theSenate session Monday thatthree amendments were passedwith little opposition to sharplylimit discussion of the investiga-tion by members of the commit-tee staff. Included was a "gagrule," specifying that prospec-tive staffers must, as a conditionof employment, agree never tomake public. speeches or writebooks or articles on the subjectof the investigation - a measure

that will probably face courtchallenges if it is ever enforced.

Sen. John Stennis, D-Miss.,who in his role as chairman ofthe Senate Arrned ServicesCommittee has had responsibil-ity for CIA oversight in the past,best expressed the fears ofsecurity-minded Congressmenwhen he "pleaded" for protec-tio'n of foreign intelligencesecrets Monday. "This-resolutionopens the (CIA) files, and wehave to have safeguards,"Stennis said.

Security fears might havebeen heightened, perhaps advert-antly. by Vice PresidentRockefeller's remarks in aninterview Sunday. When asked ifCongress should be informedabout CIA operations, the vice-president cited "personalexperience" in his confirmationhearings as evidence the Con-gress could not keep secrets."There was very little of thatinformation (in the hearings),given in confidence, includingincome tax information, whichwas not leaked," Rockefellersaid.

Committee politicsAlthough intelligence is de-

clared a "non-partisan" issue inthe Congress, internal politicsand pressures will be present tomake' the work of the investi-gators difficult. Both the Senateprobe and consideration of aHouse select committee -rerenearly blocked due to commit-tee jealousies.

Rep. Lucien Nedzi, D-Mich.,chairman of the House ArmedService Subcommittee on Intelli-gence, has succeeded in twicedelaying consideration of a reso-lution to establish a House selectcommittee.

Nedzi, who is planning hear-ings with his committee nextweek, blocked the resolution in'private meetings of the Demo-cratic Caucus and SteeringCo mmittee, and is now amember of the ad hoc groupstudying the proposal, accordingto one House staffer. His atti-tude was matched by Stennis,who had to be placated bySenate Democrats before theresolution on a Select committeecould be taken to the floor.

During the debate Monday,concern at offending the power-ful Stennis was evident in thestatements by many Senators,including the measure's sponsor,Sen. John O. Pastore, D-R.I.

"This resolution is not in-tended to rebuke any -member orany committee for their past.

oversight," Pastore declared inthe debate. 'Let's face it -we're all here to do the rightthing. If the Armed ServicesCommittee wants to have hear-ings, let them have hearings."

Even with the best coopera-tion possible from the intelli-gence agencies and the othercommittees of Congress, the CIA-probers may face an insurmount-able problem in completing theirwork - lack of time.

The Rockefeller Commission,appointed earlier this month,was ordered to report to Fordwithin 90 days, giving them littletime to do more than ascertainthe general outlines of thedomestic spying operation. ThatCommission has apparently notbeen too concerned about itsshort term as it is meeting onlyonce a or twice -a week to hearwitnesses.

The Senate Committee,which has the broadest charterof the groups which have beenestablished so far, has a deadlineof September 1. It, too, may belimited to examination of allega-tions, rather than considerationof such important questions aslegislative modification of thestructure and activities of CIAand the 60-some other agenciesof the intelligence community.

There are a number of calculatorsthat call themselves"scientific'.' But, bySinlciair's standards, most don'tmeasure up.

What makes a scientificcalculator scienctific

To be a really valuable tool forengineers, scientists, technicians andstudents, a calculator must provide allof the following:

log and anti-log (base 10)sin and arcsincos and arccostan and arctanautomatic squaringautomatic doublingxy, including square and

other rootsfour basic arithmetic

functionsplus scientific notation

(10- 99 to 10+99).Clearly, a scientific calculator

without scientific notation severelylimnits the size of numbers with whichyou can work easily.

And scientific notation withouttranscendental functions is little morethan window dressing on an arithmeticcalculator.

Granted, there are two companiesother than Sinclair offering excellentunits with all the essential ingredients.

They also sell at much higherprices.

Only Sinclair provides truly scien-tific capacity at a truly affordable price.

Less than 3/4-inch thin. And 33/4-ounces light. It's the world's thinnest,lightest scientific calculator.

What makes the SinclairScientific so inexpensive?Two important technological

breakthroughs.First, the British-built Sinclair

Scientific has a single integrated circuit.Engineered by Sinclair. And exclusive toSinclair.

Second, Sinclair's exclusivekeyboard has only four function keys.All of which provide "triple-action" bychanging from standard to upper orlower case mode.Old hands at small miracles.

Sinclair has been an innovator incalculator miniaturization right fromthe start.

In the last two years Sinclair broughtto America the Sinclair Executive andExecutive Memory -the world'sthinnest, lightest calculators- as well as the Cambridge.

The Sinclair Scientific is backed byan unconditional one-year replacementwarranty.

Sinclair also maintains a service-by-return mail operation in the U.S. (andeverywhere else in the world) to handleany product problems.

The planning fori the buildinghas closely followed the :ugges-tions in a May 1973 report bythe Committee on Student .Environment entitled, "Under-graduate Housing in the 70's."The CSE report recommendedthat entry units hold 50 to 60residents each and that each unitbe a separate building inter-connected with some commonfacilities.

These suggestions grew out ofdissatisfaction with the systemwhich allowed only six to tenstudents to live in individualliving units, or suites. Thissystem had been implemented inBurton and MacGregor followingthe 1 963 CSE report.

(Continued from page 3)veto difficult by coupling thebill to a measure to raise thefederal debt ceiling.

The question being asked bycongress is whether Ford's planto conserve fuel by boosting theprice of gasoline and otherpetroleum products will work.

At least one . congressionalstudy has said the measuresurged by the Ford plan, if ac-cepted by congress, would beprohibitively expensive.

"A rough estimate is addi-tional cost in the eventual rangeof S40 to S50 billion, and a 2.7to 3.3 percentage point increasein the inflation rate," the study- prepared for Rep. John Moss,D-Ca., - predicted.

The administration deniesthat the legislative package it issending to congress would bethat costly. White House presssecretary e,,, L.Nessen insists thepresident "certainly" is notrethinking his plan, possibly infavor of gas rationing over theoil tarriff increase, a move whichhas more support on the Hill.

While congress deliberates,the administration ' team ismaking itsg ̀ '¥ch to, a skepticalpublic, attempting to explain theFord proposals, apparently withlittle successs. A recent pollshowed public opinion runningagainst the government's plan,and Ford himself had problemsexplaining the complex eco-nomnics and energy conservationfigures to reporters last week, inhis first news conference of theyear:

Q: Mr. President, as we allknow, the state of the unionsays that the price of fuel oilin this country is so greatnow that people cannot payit. They are telling their con-

gressmen this. You proposeto put an additional price onthat Feb. 1 and then givethem back, as an offset, arebate in tax in May andSeptember. How are thesepeople going to pay their fuelbills in the meantime?

Ford: I think you have notanalyzed the energy tax re-duction in full. The monevwould go back to individuals- S19 billion - because ofadded energy costs, would goback to them through thechange in the withholdingtax, to the poorest, and 580payment per person, any indi-vidual who was an adult.

Ford said the energy costincrease, coupled with the taxrebate, would be more equitablethan gas rationing. Yet, the-administration is still troubledby charges that the rebate,system is disproportionate.

CIA AllegationsAlthough he took the initia-

tive of appointing his own panelto investigate allegations of

wrongdoings by the Central In-telligence Agency and the FBI,Ford is not likely to welcome itsverdict, regardless of the out-come.

If the panel concludes theintelligence community hasstayed within its bounds duringthe past two decades, it. will beopen to attack as a whitewash,perpetrated by those individualswithin the Administration whohave the most to !cse.

If the Panel does find evi-dence that illegal activities tookplace (which has already beena c k n owledged to a limiteddegree by Vice PresidentRockefeller and CIA DirectorWilliam Colby) then Ford willhave to purge his Administrationof the guilty and assure thepublic that what has ha'ppenedwill not occur again.

The first obstacle he faces isthe removal of Richard Helms,ambassador to Iran. Helms,Director of the CIA from 1966to 1973, has presented inconsis-tent- testiniony before the SenateForeign Relations Committee

and the Watergate Committeeduring hearings in 1973 on hisambassadorial appointment andon his role in the Watergatebreak-in and the cover-up.

Insiders say Helms could faceindictment on a variety ofcharges stemming from his parti-cipation.

The first obstacle-he faces isthe removal of Richard Helmsfrom his post as anmbassador toIran. Helms' CIA Director from1966 to 1973, has presentedinconsistent testimony inappearances before the SenateForeign Relations Committeeand the Watergate Committee on

'CIA operations in Chile and in-volvement in domestic surveil-lance of dissident organizations.

Material from the Watergateprobe is in the possession of theWatergate Social Prosecutor'sOffice, although volumes ofother documents are beingwithheld by the CIA. Even ifHelms is not indicted by 'thegrand jury, he will be a keyfigure in the final reports of theRockefeller panel, the SelectSendate Committee and the inves-tigatory body expected to becreated in the House.

Besides Helms, two otherofficials of the Ford Administra-tion could be tainted by the CIAinvestigation when the facts arefinally gathered and analyzedlater this year.

The first, CIA DirectorColby, has assumed a cautiousposition for the present, hopingto weather the storm that hasrocked the agency for more thanone year.

Colby was hopeful the con-gressional inquiry would beundertaken by Sen. JohnStennis' Armed Services Com-mittee, composed of CIA friendswho pose little threat to theagency or to Colby.

But with an independentSelect Committee investigatingthe intelligence community,Colby - and quite possibly evenSecretary of State Kissinger -could be implicated in CIA'slittle known activities at homeand abroad. .

Foreign AffairsDuring his first six months in

office, Ford has concentratedheavily on domestic problems,allowing Kissinger to dominatein the international politicalarena.

Now, both Kissinger andFord may be headed for a show-

down on Capitol Hill over theAdministration's foreign policy.

Specifically, two statementsin recent weeks have caught theattention and the concern ofCongress.

The first was the Secretary ofState's prediction that the UScould be forced into using mili-tary force in the Middle East toprotect oil supplies.

.Since the -comment wasmade, it has been reiterated byFord (who said it would becomea reality only in the event of"economic strangulation") andby Vice President Rockefeller.

The President was hardlyprepared to defend Kissinger'sstatement last week, when -inresponse to a question onwhether Kissinger had consid-ered international law prohibi-tions on the use of force informing his opinion - Ford-responded, "I can't t1ll youwhether Secretary- Kissingerconsidered that part o] theUnited Nations charter at thetime ."

The second major foreignpolicy problem for the FordAd-ministration is Vietnam.-Fordis the fifth President in twodecades to 'be troubled by insta-bility in Vietnam. He has repeat-edly refused to comment onwhether the United States willresume bombing and militarysupport operations, and he isasking for a $300 million supple-mental appropriation for SouthVietnam, after Congress slashedthe original $1.4 billion requestin half.

· Congress is concerned aboutthe prospects for re-entering thewar, and Ford's military assis-tance plans will be met on theHill with more scrutiny -thanusual.

Ford is wholly committed tosupport for South Vietnam.Congress opposes large scaleassistance. However, the Admini-stration has not read the signalfrom the Hill.

In a television interviewSunday, Rockefeller said con-gressional approval of even $700million for Vietnam indicatesthe nation's lawmakers haveagreed "in principle" to militaryassistance for Vietnam. The onlything left unresolved,Rockefeller said, was the dollaramount.

(Continued from page 1)The latter students are presentlybeing sought by the Dean'sOffice.

Undergraduate dormitorycapacify~ wll be raised to 2220students with the addition of thenew structure.

The six buildings will beconncected by passageways anda central arcade. One area ineach of the living quarters willbe subdivided into several kitch-ens. There will be no dining halland no basement, but there willbe an enciosed passageway toMacGregor's dining hall, andabove-ground areas set aside formaintenance, laundry, machinesand bicycle storage.

The building will have centralair-conditioning, but this will beavailable only during thesummer session and only to resi-dents who will pay extra for theservice. The Temfnperature level inindividual rooms and living areaswith or without air-conditioningwill be adjustable.

Planning was too far ad-vanced by the time of the energycrisis last winter to includeenergy conservation considera-tions in the dormitory's design,

Wheatley said. However, sheadded, "a lot of glass windowshave been eliminated." In addi-tion, she said, several economy

we pay for it," the new dormi-tory may be the last one builtfor a long time.

Jeb Stuart- Magruder

An American Life:One Man's Road to Watergate

By Jeb Stuart MagruderAtheneum, 321 pages, $10.00

Quarterinch mylar has really takencenter stage away from Jeb StuartMagruder (yes, he was named after thegeneral) and his fellow finger-pointerJohn W. Dean III. In an almostunprecedented acceptance of taperecordings as legal evidence, Nixon andhis thugs are being allowed to hangthemselves on their own words in JudgeSirica's court.

Yet it is not clear that anyone wouldever have bothered to -look for the tapes,or listen to very many of them, if acouple of moderately questionableoverachievers had not, for someinexplicable reason, decided to blow thewhistle.

Dean is prevented, by a variety of legalhassles, from cashing in on his side of thestory. When he does get a chance towrite, I am sure his book will sell betterthan Nixon's. Anyway, they say Mrs.Dean is pecking away somewhere,preparing yet another "insiders" book.

But right now, all we have in the wayof an auto-biographical look at an insideris Magruder. His veracity, integrity andmemory are all currently under attack ina court of law. Even the guilty verdict forthe big boys who were on trial does-not

His great strength and the weaknessthat brought him down was the subject ofhis humor. He chose to point out thehyprocrices of American Society and itsinstitutions: organized religion, thegovernment and war, racism, sexualmores and stereotyping. His sets were fullof serious examinations of these incon-sistencies, punctuated with just enoughhumor to relieve the tension. For a comicof the late 50's/early 60's, he was aheadof his time.

Kofsky examines both the phenom-enon of Lenny Bruce (which is still goingon), and Lenny Bruce, the man (who isnot). The development of his career andthe 19 arrests surrounding it are reviewed.He shows how the police and local courtsharrassed the comic. Not for the fourletter words he used, but for his illumi-nation of the hypocrises of WASPinstitutions and attitudes.

The court battles took their tolls.They left Bruce a pauper. The physicaland mental strains lead to the collapsewhich brought about his accidental death.

Kofsky notes that Bruce was vindi-cated in the end. Both the appeal courtsand recent history defended his work andthe exposure it gave to what is wrong inAmerica.

The author also traces Bruce's growthas an individual. He shows the influenceBruce's Orthodox Jewish childhood andcontact with Black Jazz musicians has onhis work and morality. By showing themorality contained within, the absurdityof the attack on his work is demonstra-ted.

The study is well worth the investmentof time. It is certainly a better introduc-tion to Lenny Bruce and his work, than-the aforementioned books, plays andmovies. Fortunately for many, the lessonsLenny Bruce has to teach, have beenlearned already.

WU "IOa %: agjainin and of itself vindicate him, or improvethe likelihood that most of the Watergatematerial in his book is true.

Whether this book is truth or Nixonianhalf-truth is not really the point. Thepoint is that most of the best parts arethe parts he would have no reason to lieabout.

All those things you probablyremember being disgusted by in thewinter of '72-'73 - the inauguration,Magruder and others ascending tohigh-paying posts which did not requireSenate confirmation - all are presentedagain here.

An American Life: One Man's Road to'Watergate was probably good therapy forMagruder, if he is one of those peoplewho like to search their past for"turning points," the moments at which,

had things only gone a littledifferently .... things would have been alittle different.

The elements of the books arepredictable, and have been hashed'overtime and again in the press, if not socoherently: a striver's childhood; atypical pale-male tale of upward mobilityand career before persona; the straigntpoop on the campaign from the man inthe middle; the "real" story of thecoverup; and the final "seeing of thelight."

Of special interest is the fact, whichmost of us probably already suspected,that McCord's letter to Sirica was thestraw that broke the camel's back.Magruder paints the whole chain of callsand meetings as the rats, nostrils full ofsalt air, began scurrying off the ship. Itwould have been "who cares" stuff fornewspapers, maybe even fornewsmagazines, but if you believe thatthe people involved in Watergate werejust that - people, and not monsters - itwill confirm your opinion.

Magruder even tells us he thought ofsuicide, and of providing for his family ashe prepared to sell himself and hisassociates down the river of historythrough the simple expedient of tellingthe truth.

An American Life paints a picturewith which MIT folk should get familiar- the manager/technician type whofunctions very efficiently at his specifictask. Moral blinders firmly in place, suchniceties as morality and democracy arenever allowed to distract from the task athand, whether that task be re-electing aninternationally notorious war criminal, orplotting better ways to kill people.

Jeb Stuart Magruder was a goodmanager. Whether he was a good humanbeing is another question.

so that they could repair theirhomes with storm windows andinsulation. That would be thekind of approach that I wouldrecommend now.

P: A number of people haveexpressed the sentiment, as youdid, that the income tax cutshould be tilted toward lowerand middle income groups.There are people opposed to thiswho say that the people who aregoing to spend money if they geta rebate will be members of thehigher income, group.

S: That simply is not true.The higher propensity to con-sume is among lower incomegroups because these groupstend to spend everything theyget. Lower income groups justdon't save as much as upperincome groups.

P: Thank you very much.

we've got to get them back toWork. That's the thing we've gotto concentrate on.

P: You have charged that theFord administration has under-estimated the effect of theincrease in oil prices for nextyear. Statistics now indicate thatfamilies on the whole will bewinners in that they will getmore money back in tax rebatesthan they wil lose due to in-creased energy prices. D6 youthink that the rate increases willmake some families losers?

S: I think some families willbe losers. As a matter of fact Ithink the whole program is toocomplicated and too inflationaryand something that should notbe put into effect.

P: I noticed in your speechthat you estimate unemploy-ment to be in the range of 8Y2per cent on the average in '75._Now in the past some unemploy-ment projections hae been off;for instance nobody expectedthe rate to go up to 7.1. Do youthink there's a chance that itcould go beyound 8.5?

S: I think it could go be-yound 8.5. Some economists arenow talking about 9 ver cent.

My best estimate, however, atthis time is about 81/2 per cent.

P: Whlat is your opinion ofthe safety-net oil facilitiesrecently negotiated inWashington ?

S: I think the safety-net faci-lities will be helpful - it's a goodidea. But no one facility, no onecapital market mechanism isgoing to do the whole recyclingjob, We need a variety of things.For example we need the IMFfacilities, which the Europeancountries have been in favor of.We need the world bank; weneed private capital markets, andwe may need to set up addi-tional facilities as well. Thisrecycling problem involves some60 billion dollars and it cannotbe done by any one set offinancial institutions alone.

P>: If it were up to you, howwould you deal right now withthe US economy?

S: I would have a tax cut,probably greater than the onethe President has proposed;something in the range of

twenty to twenty-five billiondollars. I would recommend apermanent tax cut rather than atemporary cut that the Presidenthas talked about. I would recom-mend that the cut be tilted morein the direction of lower andmiddle income groups than wasthe case in the President's propo-sal. As far as energy is con-cerned, I would recommend amo d erate but gradually in-creasing gasoline tax whichwould be refunded to lowincome groups. I would alsosuggest mandatory efficiencystandards for automobiles. And Iwould suggest mandatory effi-ciency standards for new build-ings and tax credits for peoplewho insulate or put stormwindows on their homes. Iwould certainly recommendsubsidies to low income families

(Continued from page I)stering a quota program wouldnot be difficult.

P: What do you think of theproposal to delay the introduc-tion of stricter auto emissionstandards for five years?

S: I felt . that that was amistake, frankly. I think we dohave to change some of ouremission standards, but I do notthink we need a five year mora -torium. We've got to keep theheat on the automobile industryto continue cleaning up our carsin the same way that we have tokeep the heat on the industry tocontinue making our cars saferand more energy efficient.

P: Do you tatink that thefederal government can afford torun another deficit with thepresent strain on the capitolmarket?

S: Frankly that doesn't worryme a bit. The number one prob-lem we have in this country isthe recession. It's a lot moreimportant to get people back towork than it is to worry aboutstrains on the capital market. Ithink we can't afford that kindof strain on the capital marketbut people are out of work and

Third strBy Dave Dobos

An awesome Coast Guardsquad swept to victory overMIT's indoor track team in NewLondon, Connecticut last Satur-day, handing the Engineers theirthird straight defeat, 88-30.

Despite fine efforts by manyMIT athletes who recordedpersonal bests in their events,the Engineer thinclads couldonly muster four first place fini-shes.

To highlight the numeroussuperior performances, JohnDillon broke the MIT freshmanrecord in the 1 000-yard run witha time of 2:18.2. The previousmark was set by junior co-captain Jeff Baerman at 2: 18.8,in 1973.

Another freshman, JeffKaste, also displayed signs of abright future when he ran agutsy 4:35 for third in the mile.In the two-mile run, JohnKrolewski '77 broke the magicten minute barrier in style,recording a 9:50.8 for third inthat event.

MIT posted victories in thehurdles (Rich Okine '77),60-yard dash (senior co-captainGary Wilkes), shot put (GregHunter '76), and weight throw(John Lundberg '77). Okinerecorded a personal best andremained undefeated this seasonin his specialty, while Wilkessped to his first sprint victory ofthe year in the shot put and longjump, and ran a fine :52.1 lead-off leg in the mile relay for asuper day.

Still competing with an in-jured foot, Hunter threw ex-tremely well, and Lundberg'sconsistent efforts marked thefirst time that he has been ableto record six better-than-40-footthrows in one meet.

There were other outstandingperformances as well: GeorgeBraun '75 ran a blistering 1 :15.5in the 600. Paul Edelman '78leaped 6'3" in the high jumpand in the pole vault, JirrWilliams earned a second placefor three points. Non-scorinEpersonal bests were recorded blChris Perley '77 (600), DaveFeinberg '78 (600), Rich Kruge'76 (600), Steve McDougall '71(1000), Dave Dobos '77 (mile)and Frank Kenney '78 (twomile).

The 1-2 week dropped theEngineers' record to 6-9 andmade the quest for a winningseason more difficult as only tengames remain.

On Thursday, the Engineerscould do nothing right, beingembarrassed by a fair but not atall outstanding Bowdoin teamby 27 points. MIT shot only31% from the floor, wasting arebounding and foul edge, andcommitted 29 turnovers.

Cam Lange '76 led all scorerswith 23 points and pulled down13 rebounds. Peter Jackson '76

between two hungry teams(Tufts was 1-5 going into thegame), was a showcase for twotalented players, Dennis Mink ofthe Jumbos and Lange of MIT.

Mink hit 17 of 31 field goalattempts and poured in 39points, but Lange took highscoring honors with a 40-pointnight, only the second such per-formance in MIT history. Langehit 15 of 21 floor attempts andmade all ten free throws in hiscareer-high effort.

The Engineers led by ten athalftime, 46-36, shooting anunbelievable 79% from the floor,an MIT record. MIT's difficultyin holding Tufts to one shot wasthe difference in the ball game,though, as the Jumbos' boarddomination allowed them torally and eventually pull out thewin.

Although Jackson did anexcellent job on Queens' leadingscorer, Greg Vaughn (25 ppg),holding him to ten points whilescoring 22 himself, the real starof the game was Gerry Adolph'7 5, who had his best game as anEngineer.

Asked for the primary rea-sons for the team's disappointingshowing thus far, especially inlight of last year's second placefinish in the New England tour-nament, Dessonville pointed tothe unexpected strength of theopposing teams and the injuriesthat have plagued the team.

To date, three varsity starters,Werner Haag '77 at 134 pounds,Joe Tavormina '78 at i67, andPeter Haag '75 at 190 have allbeen put out of action in addi-tion to Wilson, with only thesmaller Haag forseen as a retur-nee this season.

MIT's varsity wrestlers wentdown to their fourth straightdefeat last week, dropping a24-14 decision to a surprisinglystrong squad from Amherst.

The Engineers had hoped tocollect their first victory sincethe Christmas vacation, but were.instead thwarted with .theirmany injuries and resultant line-up changes proving fatal. Thus,nearly half way through theseason, the MIT record stands at2-5 with nine matches and twotournaments yet to wrestle.

The match began on a brightnote for MIT as co-captain JackMosinger '75, wrestling at 118pounds, extended his personalrecord to 7-0 by recording asuperior decision, 15-5. The tide,however, soon turned as MITlost the next six, with sopho-mores Jordan Silver, FarrellPeternal, Steve Brown, Joe Scire,and John Thain and freshmanDarwin Fleishchaker all drop-ping decisions.

The meet, however, was lostin the first two events. Yale'sexceptional floor exercise teameasily beat MIT by four points.On pommel horse, Yale's medi-ocre 14.95 was huge comparedto MIT's embarassingly low 8.7.It was in this event that theabsence of the missing teammembers was most deeply felt.

Through the remaining fourevents, MIT's first place scoreskept them even with the foursecond's and three third's byYale's all-around men, Cheathamand Kinoshita. Nevertheless, theEngineers' score would havebeen much higher with a com-plete team.

As usual, Lu led all MITscorers with 34.25 points.Johnson, Allen Hart '75 andThiem all scored at least tenpoints.

The team's current weaknessdoes not bode well for thecoming weeks. After the CentralConnecticut meet, the gymnastsface a schedule with two meetsin each of the next three weeks.With a full team, a reasonablygood record could be expected,but in the current state theprospects are unclear.

By Paul J. BayerIAP-itis struck the MIT men's

gymnastics team last Saturday,and the squad responded byamassing the lowest point scorein its eight-year history in losingits first dual meet ever to Yale,105-94.8.

The defeat was clearly trace-able to the January absence offour team members, as thegymnasts had, prior to the Chris-tmas break, totalled 115 and122 points in splitting their firsttwo meets, and yields littleoptimism for the short-handedteam's one remaining contestduring IAP, against CentralConnecticut tonight at home.

Not only was the loss of themissing gymnasts felt in theirmissing scores, but also in theireffect on team morale. Neverthe-less, there were a few outstand-ing performances by theEngineer gymnasts, most notice-ably Jon Johnson '76 on ringswho hit his best routine ever andeasily took first with a score of7.8.

This was followed by threemore MIT first places. Sopho-more David Lu's vault earned an8.2, the highest score of themeet. Curt Thiem '75, despitethe fact that he was still recover-ing from a sprained ankle, took

PAGE 12 WEDNESDAY.JANUARY29, 1975 THE TECH

By Glenn Brownstein'One small part of the MIT's

varsity athletics program, -thelargest in the country, is a teamthat, after a number of years as aclub, is embarking on its ma-idenvarsity, voyage, somewhatmaligned and largely ignored.That team is the women'sbasketball squad, which, despiteits relatively low standing atMIT, is quickly developing into amajor activity at the Institute.

The basketball team is be-coming an integral part of MIT'semerging women's athletic. pro-gram. According to Mary LouSayles, Director of Women'sAthletics, "The athletic depart-ment here is meeting the needsof women well, with the secondlargest number of women'ssports in the country (seven)."

Ms. Sayles would like to havemore full-time women coacheson the MIT athletic staff, but onthe whole feels that thepersonnel presently at the Insti-tute are quite capable.

Sayles is effectively the"general manager" of the basket-ball team, in charge of schedu-ling, supervising the coachingstaff, attending practices andgames, and acting both as anassistant coach and a very inter-ested fan.

Most of her time in the pastfew weeks has been spent organ-izing the MIT InvitationalBasketball Tournament, whichwill take place this comingFriday and Saturday nights atRockwell Cage. The teams parti-cipating in the tourney includet h-e University of Chicago,Brown, Radcliffe, and the hostteam, MIT. "The tournamentshould generate a lot of publi-city for the women's program,which I feel offers great oppor-tunities to women here," saysSayles.

Opening the tournamentFriday might will be a 6:30 gamebetween MIT and Radcliffe,with a matchup betweenChicago and Brown following at8:30. Saturday night action willbe composed of a 6:30 consola-tion game preceding the cham-pionship showdown at 8: 30.

On paper at least, Friday'ssecond game could be for theChampionship. Chicago returnsall five starters from last year's8-6 team and has three scholar-ship athletes on the team. TheMaroon squad finished fourth inIllinois state tournament and canprobably be considered thefavorite to win the -MIT event.

Brown, however, could giveChicago quite a battle, as theBruins sported a 3-0 pre-Christmas regular season recordand a second place finish in the

lay-up when she gets inside, andother players hit an occasionalshot, but only Roggenkamp isconsistent.

"Other than Kathy, we havetwo good centers in Linda Yester'76 and Chris. Linda's a littlestronger on offense,-while Chrisis a good defensive player and abetter rebounder. Our startingguards, Bev Herbert '75 andMaura Sullivan '76, are impor-tant in that they must be able tomove the ball well to give us achance of winning.

"Even though we're weak onoffense, I feel we're' a betterbench strength we've lacked inthe past. I play ten peoplethe past. I play ten 'peopleregularly, and we lose very littlein substituting."

Everyone on the teamdemonstrates familiarity withthe offense as Florent's effortsto give each team member asmuch experience as possible havepaid off. However, the team stillhas some difficulty playingtogether.

Captain Herbert offered oneexplanation. "I feel we've im-proved considerably over thecourse of the season, but therestill are some things we need towork on. Our offense is gene-rally weak, and we need morework on rebounding and block-ing out. Most of all, our team-work has to be honed down, andwe need more communicationon the court."

"To win we have to slow thegame down. For one thing, we'renot a fast team, and also youdon't necessarily have to be thebest team on the court to win aslow game," says Florent inexplaining his coaching philo-sophy.

To prepare for Mount Ida,Florent sets up a drill designedto move the ball against a 1-3-1zone, much like the 2-3 forma-tion Mount Ida will use. Hecautions the players againstrushing the offense, for he feelsthat pace will be the key to theteam's success.

"Mount Ida's a very good ballclub. They'll try and run, andwe'll have to slow the gamedown, dictate the tempo, andshoot well to win," says Florent.

On the day of the game, mostplayers go through their regularroutine until about an hourbefore game time, when theteam assembles in the dressingroom to get dressed. Strangelyenough, not included in theteam's pre-game activities is aformal talk by Coach Florent.

"Randy doesn't talk to usbefore games," explainsRoggenkamp. "He tried it earlyin the season and we lost thegame by fifty points. Since then,he's been reluctant to say any-thing prior to the game. InsteadBev and Maura each give us apep talk, and then we go out onthe court to warm up."

To someone who is condi-tioned by mends basketball,watching the women's versioncan be frustrating. Height hassomething to do with it -thelay-ups are not automatic, thereare no amazing leapers to crashthe boards - but a lot of it hasto do with skill. Play is lesscoordinated and the women arenoticeably less talented thantheir male counterparts. Theaction doesnot flow, but insteadis often ragged. Adding to thefrustration is the officiatingwhich, although fair, normallyconfuses anyone who tries tomake some sense of it.

Nonetheless, the crowd at a

Ivy Tournament. Brown's recordincludes routs of ConnecticutCollege and Providence, and afive-point win over BostonCollege (MIT lost to the Eaglesby 52 points.)

Friday's first game pits theEngineers against Radcliffe, whobeat MIT by five last year and isled by six-foot center DebbieWoods.

MIT's last game was againstMount Ida at the Cage Wednes-day night. To try and discoverwhat women's basketball is allabout, I followed the teamaround through the squad'spreparatory practice Tuesdayand the game Wednesday night.

The most immediately notice-able thing about practice,besides the disparity in skill, isthat the girls play much more byrote than by instinct. In otherwords, most team members donot have an instinctive feelingfor the passing-shooting-rebounding flow of a game, butinstead perform these skills as ifthey have to consciously remem-ber them.

"Our players fall into twocategories - those who playedvarsity or JV in high school, andthose who want something to doover the winter. Most areas have agood high school program, soevery year we hope to get someexperienced players," explainsCoach Randy Florent.

Coach Florent is in his secondseason as women's basketballcoach. He is ably assisted byPaul Woods '75 and Greg Hunter'76, who split their timebetween school work and work-ing with the team.

In practice, Greg and Paulhelp the women improve theirindividual skills, with Paul doingmore of the demonsfration andGreg using verbal rather thanpictorial communication. CoachFlorent sets up the drills that hefeels will best help the teamprepare for its upcoming oppon-ents and makes team adjust-ments during each day's two-hour session.

In describing the team itself,Coach Florent feels, "KathyRoggenkamp '77 is the key toour team offensively. Sometimesthe squad falls into the trap ofrelying onI her too much. Kathyshould get her 14 or 16 pointsregardless of the other team'sdefense. The problem is that wehave to supplement her offensewith that of other players towin."

Watching the team practice, itis very clear what Florent means.The team is almost impotentoffensively except for Roggen-kamp's jumper. Center ChrisTracey '76 almost never misses a

game seems to have a very goodtime. Some of it has to do withactual rooting interest. However,MIT women's basketballcrowds also enjoy criticizingthe often baffling officiating andthe relative inferiority of theteam's play. The crowd itself iscomposed of curiosity-seekersand basketball fans, friends ofthe players, faculty and peoplewho happen to wander intoduPont on the night of thegamne.

For the Mount Ida game, MITwent through its standard lay-up, three-person weave, and foulshooting drills, while its oppo-nents executed intricate passingdrills to loosen up. Both teamsappeared to be readying them-selves for the upcoming tap-off,a little nervous but mostlyanxious for the game to getunderway.

Once the contest began, theteams went into their mosteffective styles of play. MIT ranits offense patiently, with teammembers looking for the openplayer and generally avoiding aforced pass or shot. Mount Ida'szone, anchored by six-footCheryl Gehly at center, keptMIT outside while forcing anumber of turnovers. Nonethe-less, the Engineers came up withsolid defense of their own, andheld Mount Ida to a 6-6 tie inthe first four minutes.

After a Mount Ida timeout,however, the complexion of thegame changed. Mount Ida's disci-plined offense maintained' itssteadiness, and the Crickets gotmany open outside shots, mostof which they made. MIT'sinability to adjust rapidly hurtthem, as Mount Ida started topull away.

"We can't stay together andkeep cool." said Herbert. Ifwe're ahead, we get excited andfall apart. If we're behind, wecan't stay together and bepatient."

Offensively, the Engineers'effort deteriorated. Buoyed bythe good start, most playerswanted to put the ball up, andMount Ida took a 14-6 lead.

MIT staged a small rally tocut its deficit to four, but inex-perience and impatience hurt theEngineers, as MIT began to run,playing Mount Ida's style. Theteam's lack of quickness andnumerous turnovers allowed the

Crickets to score the last tenpoints of the half.

At halftime, Coach Florentmade adjustments. "Mount Idahas only been taking outsideshots when wide open. Underpressure, their shots don't go in.Therefore, keep the zone tightand deny them the inside butpressure them outside as well.Maura, on offense, go 'inside,drive on them repeatedly butlook to pass it. Create someinside offense."

The second half began withMIT doing its best to follow thecoach's instructions. Roggen-kamp jumpers and a Sullivandrive cut Mout Ida's margin to28-20, and the Crickets took atimeout. Again, a strategic time-out proved to be the differenceas the Engineers resorted torunning tactics against a MountIda trap zone, and the Cricketsblew the game open, winning51-27.

As expected, Roggenkamnpled MIT scorers with 14 points,more than the rest of the teamcombined as the Engineers' lackof balance proved to be thetelling factor.

Coach Florent offered bothgeneral and specific reasons forhis team's fifth loss in six games."Normally when a team gets aten or twelve point lead over us,we have trouble coming backbecause you usually have to runto make up that kind of deficit.We only have a chance if theother team's as slow as us and wecan play our game. Otherwise wealmost have to stay close to win.

Generally, we played gooddefense tonight, but we had noscoring and no offense. Wedidn't get an open shot at allbecause of our poor passing andguard play. We'll just have towork on these things tomorrowin practice."

No one ever said that theroad to acceptability was an easyone. From a small start severalyears ago, the MIT women'sbasketball team still has a longway to go to reach the stature ofthe majority of sports at MIT.Although this year may bedisappointing, under the guid-ance of Randy Florent and MaryLou Sayles, the years to comeshould prove fruitful for thebasketball team and women'ssports in general at MIT.
