By Bob WassermanThe Concourse program has

submitted a proposal to become apermanent program under thejurisdiction of the Electrical Engi-neering Department.

Concourse was created as atemporary program in 197 1 as analternative to the traditionalfreshman curriculum with thestipulation that after five yearsthe program would be reviewedto negotiate its future status. Thisspring a subcommittee of theCommittee on Educational Policy(CEP) evaluated Concourse alongwith the Experimental StudyGroup. The CEP concluded thatConcourse must remain a tempo-rary program administered byCEP during the 1976-77 academicyear. CEP reported that Con-course must "find an appropriateadministrative department" bythe end of the 1976 fall semesteror it will not gain permanency.

Professor of Electrical Engi-neering David AdIer said he was"optimistic" about the possibilityof Concourse gaining permanentstatus, possibly by the spring

term. Adler and Professor ofElectrical Engineering JeromeLettvin are the new directors ofConcourse for 1976-77. Adler hastaught for several years in theConcourse program. Lettvin alsois experienced in Concourse andcurrently is on the program'sfaculty.

Concourse did not find a de-partment interested in overseeingthe program until the summer,when the Electrical EngineeringDepartment expressed an interest.The EE Department at firstplanned to replace much of theteaching staff with its own facul-ty, according to Assistant ProvostHartley Rogers, Jr. He furthernoted that EE later agreed toleave th-e Concourse program un-changed after discussion with theCEP.

Both the Provost's office,which had been working withConcourse to find a permanenthomne for the program, and theCEP look favorably upon EE as

ahome for Concourse due to thesize and quality of its depart-

Professor Jerome Lettvin

By Stephen Besen"There will be no big apples

and no more rain in Lobby 7,"according to Joan Lund '77, thenew coordinator of the lohbv'sactivities. Lund, successor to thecontroversial Suzanne Weinberg,promises to bring many newideas to the lobby.

One of the most significantchanges will be the disappearanceof the large theme exhibits whichwere Weinberg's trademark, be-cause the budget will be "no-where near what has been spentpreviously," explained Lund.

A major difference between

Weinberg and Lund is the spiritof cooperation and enthusiasmfor Lund and her ideas, as op-posed to a lack of concertedeffort mentioned by Weinherg'sco-workers.

Sharing Lund's enthusiasm is1\1ary Morrissey, head of theInformation Office and a Lobby7 Committee member. She favorssmaller, more practical exhibits,Lund's present interest.

To add diversity, Lund willlook toward the Institute's re-sources. She feels that "MIT hasa lot to offer at little cost."

Morrissey would like to "see a

potpourri of exhibits," many ofwhich will be contributed byvarious MIT community groups.She would also like to see thelobby clear once in a while sothat passersby may enjoy thebeauty of the lobby itself.

Morrissey, one of the mostoutspoken committee members,said that more attention shouldbe paid to safety and noise levelsof the exhibits. She concluded bysaying, "The lobby activities arefantastic and i love being a part

of them.Weinberg left MIT lust June

when the Lobby 7 Comnittee,chaired ly John Wynne, VicePresident in charge of Admini-stration, failed to renew her con-tract. Wynne's assistant, JamesCulliton, said that eliminatingthe "normal budget reductions."opposed to some of Weinherg'sprojects and exhibits. Lund'sappointment on a part-time basishas slashed the coinnittee budgetby $3,000.

By Kent PitmanMembers of the Social Action

Coordinating Committee (SACC)have revised their plan7s to appeala decision made last week by aiExecutive Committee meeting ofthe Association of Student Acti-vities (ASA).

Whlen the ASA ruled to allowSACC to show only the firstthree in its series of movies andthereafter to require that SACCobtain LSC approvai to show anyfurther films, the SACC menmhershad originally planned to .rppealdirectly to the General Assembly;however, after further considera-tion, they have decided to followthe nmore traditional procedurefor appeal, hringing the questionfist before a gene.ral meetin g ofvthe ASA.

LSC reports show an atten-dance of 1,,470 at its showing of"Blazing Saddles" last Friday -significantly less than the 1,900which they had anticipated.

Accord-ing to Casper, the small atten-dance meant that after-paying for

ITer stairsthe Dean's Office have helpedmany fraternities by recommen-ding contractors to do wiring,plumbing, and other construc-tion. These offices can alsorecommend alternative methodsof meeting the safety require-ments, such as enclosing stair-wells with a "water curtain"which sprays a cascade of waterdown the stairwells in case of fire.This is "definitely much cheaper"than enclosing stairwells withconcrete walls, Galuardi stated.

tenance experts from PhysicalPlant, has been thoroughly evalu-ating houses "building-code-wise," according to Galuardi.However, their written reportwith costs and suggestions willtake a long time to prepare. Aless thorough evaluation produ-cing no written report takes onlyabout a day, Galuardi added.The IFC safety committee willcome out with a safety booklet inthe near future, containing ideasand people to contact for thevarious problems.

In addition, the Dean's Officehas been working with the MITSafety Office and Physical Planton a "self-inspection checklist" tocontinually keep the fraternities'"eyes open" for needed improve-ments, according to Associate'Dean for Student Affairs KenBrowning '66. Much of thisbooklet. which will be availablein the fall, is the result of workdone last IAP to compile theparts of the Boston safety codethat are relevant to fraternities.

Although the fraternities areseparate from the MIT dormitorysystem , MIT "has the respon-sihility to give them the stamp ofatpproval," Browning said. Be-cause freshnmen (re generally re-quired to live in a dormitory orfraternity, MIT his an obligationto see that fraternity houses aresafe to live in, Brou'ning said.

By Leo Bonnell(Leo Bonrnell '77 is a member

qlf the golf teasel. )The M T varsity golf team

op ned its season on an encour-.lzing note last Thursday withdual miatch victories over Ply-mouth State and St. Anselm'swith scares of 5-2 and 4-3.

Medalist for the team with a 79on tie Brae Burn C.C. layouta1N.s Jainme Dornhusch '7 , atransfler student from Colomh;a.IDornhusch placed third in theColombian national champion-ships earlier this year, and he isexpected to be an important

tuator in the MIT team's futurecomn peti tions.

The Engineers' play was uni-formly excellent - somewhat of

a rarity in the past - as allvarsity players except new captainBob Kneeland '77 contributed atleast one match victory apiece tothe team effort. Winners againstPlymouth State were MikeVarrell '79, Leo Bonnell '77. LesSuna '9, Mark Hughes '79 andMark Swenson '78. Against St.Anselm's Varrell, Dornhusch,Hughes, and Swenson providedthe winning margin.

Low scores for MIT wereDornbusch's '79, a fine 8I byKneeland in a losing cause, an 82by Varrell. and an 83 by Suna.

The team is fielding its strong-est lineup in many years. and hasan excellent chance of doing wellin the New England Chrampion-ships in mid-October.

Trojan quarterback John Doyle '76 prepares to pass before two onrushing SAE linemen can reach him. inSunday's IM football opener at the Rugby Field. Doyle's two touchdown passes were not enough for theTrojans, as SAE rolled to a 20-13 win.

carried a two-touchdown leadinto the final quarter and weath-ered a freak field-length touch-down pass in the game's finalminute to defeat the Baker Tro-jans in the A-league IM footballopener Sunday afternoon, 20-13.

SAE's victory appeared to beassured late in the fourth period,as the fraternity squad held a 20-6lead and had a first down onBaker's six-yard line. AlthoughSAE had seven chances to score.aided by a pass interference callagainst Trojan defender PeterMaimonis '77, the drive stalledand Baker took over deep in itsown territory.

Two penalties and three playslater, the Trojans put the ball inPlaY on their own three, seconddown and ten yards to go. Quar-terback John Doyle '76 arched alooping pass toward Maimonis,standing near the right sideline 25yards away. The- ball was de-flected by one SAE defenderthrough Mairnonis' hands, was

E tipped by another SAE player,5 and fell into the arms of Baker's

X surprised Cliff Reid '79, whoI carried it past the unprepared

SAE defense for a touchdown.i Doyle then passed to Maimonis

lor the extra point, and Baker

trailed by seven with one minuteremaining in the contest.

Baker tried an onside kick onthe ensuing kickoff, but SAE'sJim Hagadus '78 pounced on thehall on his own 36-yard-line,apparently giving the fraternityfootballers a chance to run outthe clock.

Inexplicably, after one comp- leted pass had given SAE a firstdown, quarterback Bruce Wrobel'79 threw two incomplete passes,stopping the clock each time, andthen was sacked for an eleven-yard loss, giving the Trojans onelast opportunity. SAE punter Stu

McKinnon '78 boomed a 45-yarder to the Baker 20, though,and Doyle was thwarted on histhree attempts to throw a longscore before time ran out.

Wrobel was SAE's offensivestar, completing 12 of 23 passesfor 151 yards and two touch-downs (he ran for the other one,and gaining 32 yards rushing.McKinnon scored two touch-downs, converted two of threeextra point tries, and came upwith a number of long puntsduring the game, as Baker rarely

had good field position withwhich to start a drive.

Strangely enough, the Trojansoutgained SAE, 179-151 in theair and 87-32 on the ground, Kutsuffered 13 penalties for a costly91 yards, against SAE's 7 for 73.Doyle completed 12 of his 3'passes and looped a touchdownstrike to Mairnonis duringBaker's first series in the game.giving the Trojans a short-lived 6-O lead.
