The New E:ngland Anti-War Conference concluded a week- end of boisterous deliberation Sunday afternoon after deciding to sponser a mass non-violent demonstration against the Viet Niam war in. Boston on April 15. MIT played host to the coll- ference, which also discussed re- lated issues such as the draft and taxes. Other demonstrations are expected to be held nationwide between April 13 and 18 to focus on these problems. The conference also resulted in the formation of a new group, the New England Anti-War Co- alition, a loose federation of over 40 local peace groups. These groups represent a'variety of points of view, but -local chapters of the Student Mobil- ization Committee to End the War are most numerous. Two representatives of each group will meet again at MIT next week to plan the details of the April actions. A number of issues occupied the attention of the more than I 000 delegates who attended the convention. The principal sent- iment expressed 'Was that Pres- ident Richard Nixon's Viet- namization plan was a fraud and would serve only to prolong the war. Considerable debate center- ed upon how best to pu t this issue before. the public. On.Sat- urday, there was much interest expressed in both concentrating on election campaigns and mass- ive demonstrations similar to those held last fall. After lengthy consideration of this issue, a vote was taken and the decision was to concentrate on the de- monstration approach. This was the view put forth by the Stud- ent Mobilization Committee. Another major area of debate was women's rights. The Revolu- tionary Women's Caucus of the November- Action Coalition maintained that the April ac- tions should be strongly focused on this issue, but opposition from SMC resulted in only an affirmation of support. It was also decided that the Coalition would dissociate itself from liberal politicians, business- men, and educators, including those who opposed the war. The sentiment of the conference was that such figures should not be invited to address demon- strations that the group might sponser. Many of the delegates in- dicated regret that the composi- tion of the conference was pr- edominantly white and middle class, with relatively few workers or blacks in attendance. Various factions of SDS were among the groups at the con- ference. However, most of the motions favoring militant ac- tions which they made at the plenary sessions were rejected. SDS groups also attempted to dominate some of the work- shops held Saturday, but were comparatively unsuccessful in in- fluencing the conference. The meeting also saw some relatively light-hearted proposals brought before it, including one from "Love, Peace, and Hap- piness Inc." A part of the state- ment was as follows: "We pro- pose that the movement support anyone who refuses to go into the army until the state which he is being drafted from has the voting age lowered to 18 and the liquor law permits him to drink at the bar of his choosing." By the time the conference finally ended, it had been flood- ed with scores of varying pro- posals from dissident groups at- -tending, including among others, support for the Black Panthers, a drive for an all-out advertising campaign, and a renaming of the Coalition.

The students questioned the method of selection and oper- ation of the committee and crit- icized its refusal to release any specific information under con- sideration. Several- asked the committee to explain why they had not taken any definitive stand on such projects as MIRV and VTOL. The committee members gen- erally agreed that there should be more openess' in regard to committee operations but em- phasized the necessity of keep- ing proposals private during the negotiation process. Andrew Gil- christ '71, undergraduate mem- ber of the committee, stated that it should operate totally free of outside pressures and influences in order to objectively review proposals. Yesterday's meeting was an outgrowth of the appearance of several SACC members at a com- mittee meeting last Monday. Un- satisfied with the committee re- sponse to their questions, SACC and RLSDS called for a mass student showing at yesterday's regularly scheduled meeting. The committee earlier in the week invited SACC to send several representatives to it but SACC and RLSDS felt that the whole community should participate in the proceedings. administration. Eddleman and Ehrmann base their statement on the idea that '.'students should have responsi- bility for their own education and their own lives." As specific programs they name "creating a community judicial system; im- proving education with pass-fail, new subjects, fewer require- ments, better advising; incor- porating the Undergraduate Association to sponsor student- run research; increased personal contact with students.. .revrising SCEP and SCE [the Student Committee on Educational Policy and the Student Commit- tee on Environment]; creating a GA operations committee to act as GA researchers and student ombudsman; ending compulsory commons and implementing coed living in more houses; start- ing an ecology group .at MIT; investigation of conversion op- portunities and freeing informa- tion on present and proposed contracts." George and Solish describe their platform as one of "partici- -patory democracy and com- munity control." Although their statement included no specific proposals, they assert the right of students to "decide what they want" concerning "require- ments, grades, commons, hous- ing, calendars, rules" all of which directly affect students. This year's campaigns have generated relatively little excite- ment on campus. Bob Dresser has waged a campaign based on mass circulation of his platform and living group discussions. Eddleman and Ehrmann have attempted to talk to as many students as possible, in keeping with their promise to discuss the issues if elected. Goerge's cam- paign included a full-page ad in Thursday.

Among their pro- posals are the extension of pass- fail, adoption of the independ- ent study calendar, an alternate BA degree, the admission of more women, improvement of student housing,-coed dorms, a UAP appeals board, putting the GA in closer touch with stu- dents, and increased student par- ticipation in departmental By Joe Kashi Arms controllers believe that such an expansion would -make nuclear deterrence less stable and increase the chance of nu- clear war in a period of intense crises.

At press time last night, con-frontation was shaping up be-tween MITSDS and SMC on oneside, and the U.S. Army andMIT Placement Office on theother.

MITSDS, which has been leaf-letting on the subject of theQOfficer's Candidates School(OCCS)- recruiter's visit to MITtomorrow, joined with SMC toplan "actions against the re-cruiter." A mass meeting in theSala- last night was called todetermine the nature of that

However, Wayne Wenger '70,a member of Student Mobiliza-tion Committee, which isjoiningwith SDS for this demonstra-tion, said no such action wasbeing contemplated. Rather, theaction would probably consist ofa demonstration combined with"counter-recruitment" - at-tempts' to dissuade individualstudents from joining the OCSprogram.

For example, under theSBLI 5yearRenewableTermPlan, a man 0-40 can buy$25,000 in Savings BankLife Insurance for less- than$100 a year* (at age 25, thecost is less th,a $75. ayear*). This makes it pos-sible to provide extra pro-tection-at lowest cost-at a time when families needit most.

by John Kavazanjian(ed. note: This is the second ofthree- articles)

The bill containing the Mans-field Amendment has not evenpassed the House of Re-presentatives yet, and alreadythe MIT administration is work-ing in anticipation of some ofthe changes that may come inthe procuring of research grantsand in long range planning. Theonly official or unofficial studyfrom anyone in the ad-ministration is an information·paper by Dean of the School ofScience, Robert A. Alberty. This

unofficial, non-nstitute policypaper discusses administrativepoints of the Amendment andits effects.

"It is obvious," says thepaper, "that termination of this[.DOD] support, or of a sig-nificant part of it, would havedisastrous consequences forgraduate education and for orig-inal research throughout the In-stitute." The retention of thisfinancial support is a matter ofutmost concern for the MITadministration.

Of mijor concern in ad-ministration policy decisions is

interpretation of the phrase,"direct and apparent relation-ship to a specific military func-tion or operation." Albertyseems to believe that the inter-pretation of this phrase will bebroad and general. The pointthat is emphasized is that mostresearch in the field of scienceand technology can be stretchedto be defense research. "Sincemilitary systems require thehighest level of applied scienceand technology for their designand implementation, the scopeof relevant science is almost un-limited.. ." The administration,

however, is not waiting andcounting on this tenuous con-nection to preserve the In-stitute's Defense Department en-dowment.

Alberty seems to think that ifDOD) funds were withdrawn,MIT could meet the challenge,by working harder to get the(hopefully) resulting increase inHEW, HUD, and NSF funds. Inthis though, he acknowledges amajor problem: government so-cial service agencies have a histo-ry of being very hard to getcontracts out of as comparedwith DOD.

The question does arisethough, what if none of theseretention measures work? Therewill most certainly have to becutbacks. The major cutbackswould be in the catagories ofResearch Assistants, graduatestudents, and Assistant Profes-sorships, all of which directlydepend wholely or in part onDOD funds. There would also bemajor cutbacks in the area ofstudent help. In short, 200 Re-search Assistantships, supportfor faculty salaries, grad. studentresearch supplies, over $4 mil-lion in operating costs, and'$880,000 in computing expenseswould all be in jeopardy, accor-ding to the Alberty paper.

Besides these condiderations,there is a great deal of specula-tion on the effect of the Mans-field Amendment on long rangehousing and academic facilityplanning. Cuts in research andthe grad: school could set backeven farther projected new buil-dings such as the future newElectrical and Chemical Engi-neering building and the much-postponed housing projects suchas McGregor II and the WestCampus renovations.

MIT will most likely not feelthe effects of this Amendmentright- away, though. Any changesin policy and spending patternswould most likely not be sud-den. Slow change is of the typethat the Institute can and pro-bably will respond to favorably.

-No more secrecyMIT is currently negotiating three new con. Comniittee on the Special Labs chaired by Profes-

tracts to be worked on atthe Special Laboratories, sor John Sheeha'n of the chemistry .department,as reported in- 77Te Techt of February 17. Discus- has stated -that the computer software proposal is

sions concerning the propriety of these negotia- "associated with a weapon."' Kenneth Fertig,tions are being handled by the Standing Conmmit-- group ieader at D-Lab 6, said that the softwaretee on the Special Laboratories and have been proposal might bethe first phase of a potentiallytotally closed. As more and more discussion is larger task. Such statements raise serious ques-generated concerning these contracts it becomesincreasingly clear that MIT should make availableall possible information pertaining to this pro-posed work.

The three contracts are as follows. The largestcontract involves development of a single guidancecomponent known as Inertial Measuring Unit(IMU) - research totaling $42 million, sponsoredby the Air Force. The other contracts totalonly$1 million; one is for an extension of the presentDeep Submergence Vehicle (DSRV) program, theother for development of "computer software tosolve specific problems."

The Pounds Panel Report stated as an objective,"MIT's efforts in non-academic public serviceshould always include intimate involvement offaculty and students, both in the selection ofprojects and as participants in their implenmenta-tion'." With regard to the question of selectingprojects, we feel it not unreasonable to askf( thatdiscussion of proposed projects by interestedmembers of the community be a niecessary step insigning a contract, if the Standing Committee onthe Special Labs finds the matter open to ques-tion.

It appears that the present:-contracts are opento serious question, especially in light of the factthat Andy Gilchrist, the sole undergraduat e mem-ber of the committee, has let it be known that heopposes the proposed computer software project,

tions.What is going on belhind closed doors? The

Special Labs Committee has adopted a policy ofsilence concerning these contract negotiations; sohas the administration. Not even Gilchrist willreveal any details of thie negotiations because of-this policy, which has been set up to avoidpublicity that might affect MIT's -chances of

-landing the projects. We cannot make ,udaments in-tie total infor-

mation vacuum given us by-the administration.,Nor is the. presence of students on the Sheehancommittee anything more than a sham, as long asthe "representatives" of the student body cannotreport to their constituencies.

As to the arguement that says "research is acompetitive field; if we don't keep things quietsomeone .ill steal our contract," may it beremembered that MIT's committment. to anydefense sponsored research should be-because ofMIT's special competence in that field. If thatspecial 'competence indeed exists, there sliould beno one else able to "steal" the contract. With thisin mind it is not essential to keep negotiations atotal secret and it would seem advisable to makethem as public as possible.

Finally, it should be noted that conducting thenegotiations in Secrecy all the way to signing willbe in violation of the guidelines set down by thePounds Panel, which said that "MIT's eva!uationof a project ... must consider the attitudes of the

they would probably support astudent 'strike in the event ofany colossal blunder by the ad-ministration.

Finally, there is a third-andprobably largest-group.. Thenumber of activists and.- politi-cally conscious people on cam-pus has reached a level at.' whichit is possible to forget that thetraditional tool is still very muchwith us. Yet- anyone whochooses to drop out of activistcircles and do a little nosingaround will still find hinm 'twid-dling knobs in the lab, revolu-tion or no revolution. As long assuch students compose such a.signigicant portion of the stu-dent body, no effective massaction is possible.

Bimodal -student body?Within the next few years, 1

anticipate that the cleavage be-.tween the first two groups andthe third will grow much morepronounced than it is:now. Byvirtue of MIT's location in Cam-bridge, its student body willinevitably include a significantfraction who belong to the poli-tics/drugjself-discovery counter-culture.' At the same time, aslong as there are tools with crewcuts and glasses in the world,they will-come to MIT.

Unless a conscious attempt ismade to avoid the creation of abirnodal student body (admis-sions officers tell rme it-would beimpossible to preselect studentsfor non-radicalism even if theInstitute wanted .to) I predictthat within a few years theundergraduates will be dividedinto two comparatively distinctgroups. This islikely to be instriking contrast with Harvardand other major campuses,where the counterculture seemsto be on its Way to becoming thepredominant life style. .-Such adevelopment would be likely topose some ticklish problems forthe administration and faculty,which might be hard pressed toprovide ' meaningful educationfor all members of such a diversestudent body.

By Steve CarhartThe lull which has descended

on the campus, despite theevents of' the first semester,prompts one to examine thepresent composition of the stu-dent body.

It is apparent-that the num-ber of undergraduates who are-actively concerned with the po-licies of the Institute or thecountry is relatively small. De-spite all the noise and concernwhich has been generated, thosewho attend most meetings anddemonstrations compose a closelittle club of radicals, studentpols and journalists, and admini-stration types.

Beyond this relatively thinlayer of activists, there appearsto be a major substratum whichis socially conscious but notactively Involved. Judging fromthe turnouts for things like UAPelections and the MIRV referen-dum, this group probably num-bers somewhere between oneand two thousand.

At present, this group seemsto be-in a major state of flux.From talking to random facultymembers and students, I -sensethat a major movement is nowunderway away from the tradi-tional science and engineeringmajors and into things like urbansystems, pollution control, andthe social sciences. While it maytake a few years, I suspect thatan exodus from MIT's tradition-al departments will take place aslong as the-technical specialist'ssubservience -to the policy makerremains apparent.

- Longer time scaleMembers of this second group

are apparently banking thattheproblems of our society have notyet reached the critical stage (assonme radicals claim) and thattheir best contribution could bemade by obtaining backgroundwhich will be useful to themover a long period in the future.While they acknowledge the legi-timacy of the present order andare content to let Howard John- son handle the radicals for now,

La Femme Infidele is a well-made murder story. When a hus-band, suspicious that his wife ishaving an affair, has his fearsconfirmed by a private detective,he proceeds to murder his wife'slover.

In the style of Hitchcock,director Claude Chabrol mixessuspense and irony; for example,with the corpse stuffed in thetrunk of his car, the husband hasa rear-end collision, and is al-most caught because of it. Atheatre marquee reads LesBiches, which is also a film byChabrol; this is a parallel toHitchcock's appearance in all hisfilms.

However, unlike in Hitch-cock, there are no clear forces ofgood in the film. Hitchcock al-most always depicted awholesome counterpart to theevils he portrayed. These "good"people provided a focus, enabledthe viewer to identify and be-come involved in the action. LaFemme Infidele is no more thana case study, detached, althoughdone with style.

By Jeff GaleLast Friday.: night's Boston

Globe Jazz Festival brought aconglomerate of styles to .theJohn Hynes-(formerly War Mem-orial) Auditorium. The music,ranging from Miles Davis toSarah Vaughan and Herbie Mannto Lighthouse, brought a largeand diverse audience and recon-firmed that jazz is still a dynam-ic medium.

Trumpter Miles Davis openedthe concert with a 45 minute,meandering piece. One got thefeeling of a large scale jaml asDavis, tenor sax Wayne Shorter,and soprano sax Steve Grossmanalternated solos which rangedfrom soft and sweet to harsh andchilling. Background was ablyprovided by a nameless Brazil-lian percussionist, drummer JackDejonhette, bassist Dave Hol-land, and pianist Chick Corea,who also added some solos andconstantly used an electronicmodulator on his piano to give amontage of strangely discordantsounds.

Davis' group provides an ex-ample of self-involvement. Bothhe and Corea are consistentlynamed among the best at theirinstruments -in polls of musi-cians. Nevertheless, public pollstend to neglect the pianist andrate Miles somewhat below hismusically recognized stature.This seems due to their regardfor music over "pleasing- theaudience," and was evident lastFriday as many appeared boredafter 20 minutes. The group leftthe stage to what can best bedescribed as respectful applaus'e.

The traditional jazz/pop sing-er Sarah Vaughan appeared next.Backed by:her tuxedoed trio, shebreezed through a set' designedto please the audience. MissVaughan has been playing clubsfor years and the massive audito-rium was not designed for herintimate type of style, but shedid make the most of it with-awide range of tunes known toone and all. The singer did al-most straight pop renditions ofsuch songs as "The Shadowv of

General Patton, a Russian Gener-al, and their staffs sat down todinner. The Russian proposed atoast. Patton replied that hewouldn't drink with a son of abitch. The Russian replied thatPatton was a son of a bitch, too."In that case, I'll drink,'" Pattonsaid, "from one son of a bitch toanother."

This vignette captures tihekind of person depicted in Pat-ton, a filmr biography starringGeorge C. Scott. Patton is pre-sented as an arrogant man, onewho pushes and tests the peoplearound him, before he is willingto respect them.

He is a man I couldn't- love,yet one I admire and fear. He isa General that I'd hate to serveunder, but if I needed an armyto defend me, he'd be my choiceto lead it.

Believing in reincarnation,Patton is suggested by the filmto have thought of himself as areincarnated Caesar, Napolean,and other great generals. "I wasthere," he remarks, upon view-

ing the Carthaginian ruins inNorth Africa. Ultimately how-ever, the film hints that it is DonQuixote that is his spiritual ante-cedent, focusing on a windmillat the end. As an attache says tohim one time, after Patton hasimagined fighting German FieldMarshall Rommel one againstone in the desert, "Too badjousting's gon e out of style."Replies Patton,' "Like poetry,it's not part of the twentiethcentury."

And neither was he, suggeststhe film. He was an anachro-nism, an auteur of war. Whenrelieved of his command by hissuperiors, he laments "Damn it.The whole world's at war, andI'm to be left out of it!" Certain-ly a unique reaction for this era.

He had one standing order:"always take the offensive-never dig in." His arrogantstrength evoked many adversereactions from his troops as wellas his superiors; yet, at the endof the campaign, they showedphenomenal spirit.

Patton is a memorable pro-trait, providing a flesh and bloodcharacter of dimension, as wellas an interesting perspective onWorld War II.

Phil OchsGreatest Hits-Phil Ochs (A&M)

This album is, perhaps, thesaddest. experince in recentmemory. Phil Ochs has alwaysbeen-- in the vanguard of therevolution and its musical voice.From the. early sixties and theirsometimes light but usuallyhopeful songs ("I Ain't MarchinAnymore," "Draft Dodger Rag,""Here's To The State of Missis-sippi") through the general criti-cisms of society ("Small CircleOf Friends," "The Party," "TheCrucifixion") of 1966-67 to thebitterness and hopelessness ofPost-Chicago America ("I KillTherefore I Am," "RehersalsFor Retirement") Ochs sang andcriticized in a manner seldomequaled in cleverness and hones-ty.

Greatest Hits is, of course,not that but an attempt by Ochsto capture a piece of the thor-

Hey Jude -Hey Jtude/Tibe Beatles Agairt(Apple)

It seems rather silly to reviewan album which everyone hasheard, in random parts, from

-- beginning to end. Yes, the four·- deities of rock have passed on a

collection of their singles to themortal.world. So, here is a cata-logue of the contents-all' ofwhich are familiar:

By David MaurielloThe current production of

Terrence McNally's Stweet Erosand INoon at the Craft Experi--mental Theatre is visible proofthat acting can make or break aplay.

Aside from the fact that thelong running Fros was (and stillis) attracting a large audiencebecause of its nudity, this re-..viewer, upon first seeing the playthree months ago, found subtle-ties and messages in it that madeattendance worthwhile. At thattirnme, the actor in this two char-acter play had recently stepped -into the part and the reviewended with the comment thatthe play would be interesting tosee in the future, coupled witli acompanion play more worthy ofit. Unfortunately, that actor isno longer in the play, but thepresent lead, Frank Storace, hascertainly been playing the rolelong enough now to have estab-lished interpretation/presenta-tion; one that is just about allwrong. I say this because theplay, presented almost exactly asbefore (actually the staging-isnow smoother and faster) nowleft me bored and disappointed.

McNally has created a charac-

ter with all the shades of emo-tion: countless vivid images,nostalgia; joy, grief, love, andloneliness. Acted with inspira-tion, the play is elevated and wesee with our minds, not just oureyes. Otherwise, this story of a,captured girl who slowly beginsto attach herself to her. captor, isan actionless monol6gue with nogreat writing to its credit.

Mr. Storace does not movegracefully. He uses his eyes andexpression without genuine mnio-tivation. He delivers his - lines(and hlie has all the lines in theplay) witIh an irritating sameness.We, therefore, never understandhim because he doesn't make uswant to, and the play ends as anempty and meaningless thing.

In - Noon, -Author McNallyonce again asseirbles the perver-ted, but in tongue-in-cheek style.And again, if well acted, the playcould be a laugh filled farce.However, apart from some re-freshing' acting by Larry Wall-berg and Daryl -Manton in theibeginning of the play, this vehi-cle disintegrated into a skinscene with the:audience laughingnot with the play but at theplayers.

This is a truly outstandingalbum. Dion has learned his les-son well during his absence fromthe public scene. Sit Downt is avirtuoso performance as it com-bines tihe unusual -but pleasantvoice, the writing talents (onabout thrce-quarters of the 'ma-terial), and thle acoustic guitarbacking (the only instrumlent onthe album) of Dion the folksing-er. Though there is little that isweak, it is an album which mustbe accepted on its own terms.Dion borrows froam no one.

(('vn tinued f/orel page 5)oughly exploited country androck revival markets. There arecuts on the album. of virtuallyevery type of pop music exceptthe type which the artist builthis reputation upon. "Ten CentsA Coup," recorded at the Mlora-torium, is an acceptable,,piece ofcomment. (".. I dreamedNixon died of a suntan.") Sadly,it is the only piece of socialsignificance. The rest of the al-burn could even be played in anAmerican Legion Hall. "NoMore Songs" and "Boy In Ohio"are pleasant but meaningless lit-tle ballads. "Bach, Beethovan,and Me" is plagued by over-or-.chestration and inanity. Theguitar playing of Chris Etheridgeof the Burritos is beautiful on"Chords of Fame" but the songitself sounds like a Robbie Ro-bertson throwaway.

The cover of this album is ab la tant put-on-a-Presley-esquepicture of Ochs in a gold-lamesuit. I'm not really sure if theentire thing is a put-on or just abig mistake. My hunch is thelatter, but I hope it's a plannedfarce or the quote which isblazed across the top of the backcover ("50 Phil Ochs Fans Can't

Shuggie OtisHere Corm es S/huggi'e .Otis (Epic)

Shuggie Otis is Johnny Otis'sixteen-year old son. He's had alot of mnisical eXPerience. play-ing with his father's band and onFrank Zappa's lHot Kats and AlKooper's Kooper Scessiont al-bunms. ie has now come outwith a "solo" album, backed bya bunch of studio musicians,doing songs he wrote with hisfather. fie certainly can play theguitar, piano, harpsicord, bass,etc. well enough, but the albumas a whole is spotty.

The vocals are one of theworst parts of the album. Hap-pily, Shuggie only tries to singon about half of the cuts. Thebest songs are the instrumentals,notably "Bootie Cooler" and"Funky Thithee". "Shuggie'sBoogie" is fine once you get pastthe intro where he stupidly-runsthrough a list of all his influ-ences ("And don't forget ElmoreJames!").

Most of the arrangements arefunky enough' to match Shug-gie's playing although there are afew cases of. overproduction asin "Oxford Grey" and "JennieLee". However, there doesn't

.seem -to be enough variety in thedifferent songs to make this al-bum really stand out. ShuggieOtis has shown that he is afirst-class back-up man, and heshould stick to that for a whilelonger (and keep away from themicrophone). He's stiA got, plen-

equivalent of . anything BS&Tcan offer. The piece began with·a long vibes solo, once again byHoffert, yielded to the brasssection, and then tore for theend, stopping only momentarilyfor a Skip Prokop drum solo,and a Ralph Cole chorus on theguitar' Though Lighthouse hasmuch to learn about vocal ar-ranging, their instrumentals, arestrong-as was evidenced by theapplause and shouts of encour-agement from the audience thatremained to see their set.

"Taking A Walk," "lf ThereEver Was A Time," "MountainMan." "Whatever Forever"featured trombonist Russ Littlein an excellent unaccompaniedsolo. It also spotlighted the or-gan work of Paul Hoffert. Hof-fert is the group's arranger anddriving talent as his Bach-likeorgan on "Whatever..."proved.

The set and the eveningclosed with the extended instru-mental "Places On Faces, FourBlue Carpet Traces" which is the

(Continued from page 5)which has become his trade-mark.

The set opened with "MissFree Spirit" which is adequatelydescribed by the name. Mannand Ayers traded light solos asSharrock played a twangy styleguitar background and held thepiece together. "Memphis Un-derground" featured an R&Bbeat' and found guitarist Shar-rock, with his Hendrix-style so-los, almost stealing the show andreceiving' some disdainfullooking glances from Mann. TheBrazillian and African influencescame into play in "In Tangiers"which featured the flutist in aforeign sounding setting andbacked on several solos, by onlydrunis. The set was brought to aclose by the Mann classic"Comin' Home Baby" whichfeatured extended work byAyers, Mann, and Sharrock, whoagain brought his screeching gui-tar into the picture, giving a newdimension to this often playedpiece. Though Mann is neitherthe most original nor the mosttechnical of jazz flutists, he hasprobably done more than any ofthe others to popularize the in-strument. The reason was obvi-ous as he held the audiencecaptive during the entire set.

As Lighthouse, the last act ofthe evening, came on, many ofthe over-30 crowd started toleave (it was already 11 pm).They should have stuck around.Despite the imposing sight ofthirteen musicians, Lighthouseproved to be easy to listen tocomplement, including two elec-tric violins and- two electric cel-los, the group played an unevenbut inspired set. Much wasstraight off their two RCA al-bums-"A Day In The Life,"and more talented than expected.With their unique instrumental

It's easy to tell a Paulist. Justtalk with him.The first thing you notice isthat he's conltelmporary. Helives today, but plans tomorrowwith the experience and knowl-edge of yesterday. That's aPaulist characteristic: the abil-ity to move with the timnes andto meet the challenges of eachera.A Paulist is also the iltediatror

of his age: he tries to bring to-gether the extremes in today'sworld and the Church, the lib-erals and -the moderates, theeternal and the temporal.

Next, he is very much an indi-vidrall. It sets him apart imme-diately. He has his own partic-ular talents and abilities - andhe is given freedom to rise them.

UAP: Ignorance?To the Editor:

Ignorance of the complexityof issues at MIT should not bethe strong point of a campaignfor UAP; yet Bob Dresser isrunning on a platform of experi-enced uninvolvement with theseissues and the people who haveworked long and hard on them.The support of The Tech of thiscandidate, who has "great poten-tial" because he has yet to workon educational reform, seems anintentional swipe at the intelli-gence of the student body-notdissimilar from Nixon's pastcampaign.

score is more commendablewhen one considers that two ofthe four members had been ill allweek, and one of these two, KarlLamson, was still quite sickthroughout the sectional. Thefour shooters who providedMIT's team score were: DickEvans,, '72, 272; Jack Chesley,'71, 267; Karl Lamson, '71, 266;and Eric Kraemer, '71, 265.

Last year's winning scores atthis sectional were 1069 for ateam and 277 for an individual.As one can see, the level ofcompetition in New England is

definitely rising. There should besome close shooting at the New.England Finals, which will beheld here at MIIT.

This coming Saturday, March7, the team is traveling to- theCoast Guard Academy for a con-ventional sectional, which issimilar to last Saturdaiy's matchexcept that targets are somewhatdifferent and the time one has inwhich to shoot is shorter. Theteam members. ase out to imn-prove their individual scores andtake another crack at that CoastGuard team.

By Eric KraemerThe United States Coast

Guard Academy captured highteam honors in the InternationalSectional Rifle Match held at theMIT rifle range last Saturday. AUniversity of Maine freshmantook the high individual award.MIT was second overall.

The ten schools represented

at the march were Norwich, Pro-vidence College, WentworthInstitute,' the United StatesCoast Guard Academy, Brown,the University of Maine, theUniversity of Massachusetts,Nasson, Northeastern, and MIT.

Beginning at 9:00 am Satur-

day, the shooters went to thefiring line in six relays-three inthe morning for individual scoresand three in the afternoon forteam scores; each shooter firedtwice.. When the results had been-tabulated, the highest seven indi-vidual scores were: Turner, U.Maine, 281; French, US CGA,280; B. Perry, Providence Col.,277; Weaver, Northeastern, 274;Inmon, USCGA, 271; Lamson,MIT, 271; and Lacoutre, U.Mass., 271. Turner also wonthe high ROTC shooter award.Miss Morrison of the Universityof Maine took the high woman'saward.

D)ifferent format for tourney

The team matches are some-

what different from the usualcollege rifle match, in which thefive highest scores are pickedafter everyone has fired. In asectional, a team consists of onlyfour shooters, and these aredesignated before the firing be-gins. In the team firing, the topfive teams were: United StatesCoast Guard Academy, 1088;MIT, 1070; Maine, 1064; Nor-wich, 1055; U. Mass., 1050. TheMIT team put in a fine score tocome in second in the stiff com-petition of the sectional. Their

The- MiTT varsity swimmingteam easily finished their idualmeet season with a 66-38 victoryover the University of Mass-achusetts. There was virtually nocompetition as Tech took· nineof twelve firsts.

Dave Lawrence '71 took twofirsts and -two seconds for MIT.He won the 200 yard breast-stroke and was on the winning400 yard medley team. He wassecond in the-200 yard freestyl'eand the 200 yard backstroke;

Dave James -'71, Jime Bron-

fenbrenner '70, andSDan Nadler'72 made up the rest of themedley relay team. Pete Hadley'72 grabbed firstplace in the200 yard individual freestyle.Kim Bierwort '72 was first in the200 yard individual medley. JeffGronauer '71 won the 1 meterdiving while teammate JesseHeines '71 copped the 3 meter-event with Gronauer taking sec-ond.

The other three Tech firstswere captured by Al Graham'71, Tim Gilmore '70, and LarryMarkel '71 in 200 yard but-terfly,-the 200 yard backstroke,and the-500 yard freestyle re-spectively. Bronfenbrenner add-ed a second in. the 200-yardbutterfly.

The win pushed the teamover the .500 mark for the dualmeet season with seven wins, sixlosses and a tie. The only com-petition left is the New EnglandChampionship on March 12-14.

SEIERS PREPAREFOR DIVISIO[LS

Beginning March 5, the skiteam" will be at Keene State inNew iHampshire to compete withteams from Keene, Bates, Bow-doin, Yale, Army, St. Michael's,New England College, and Nor-wich. The team will be wellrepresented in all four events;even the jump event should gowell with newcomners JohnSchultz '71 and Gil Flanagan,'70.

Though the alpine team hasgood winning potential, it hasyet to show it all. In competi-tion at Bates on March 20,Schultz won the giant slalomevent and Steve Nadler '73 fi-nished second in the slalom. MITfinmished second behind' Yale inthe GS and third in the slalom.Dick Freyberg '70 jumped bestfor a fifth place. The absence ofLew Jester'72 because of a kneeinjury upset any chances forwinning in the jump event. Cap-tain Maxim Daamen's '70 win-ning time in the cross-countryrace along with the times ofNorwegians Rasmussen '70 andOlas Braaten '70 gave MIT a firstin that event. 'MIT finished thirdoverall, behind Yale andBates, and beating Bowdoin.

Captain Bruce Wheeler '71and Ben Wilson '72 led the Techcagers to a thrilling overtimevictory against Bates Fridaynight in Rockwell Cage. Wheel-er's alert defense and Wilson'sscoring brought Tech back from a15 point half-time deficit to tiethe game.

In the first half, the Techoffense was cold as they got offonly half as many shots as theiropponents while getting lessthan half of the rebounds. Mean-while Bates was moving the ballwell and scoring. The first halfended with Bates leading 42-17.

The second half started better

with the Tech defense puttingmuch more pressure on theBates shooters while the Techshooters were warming up. How-ever with only eight minutes leftin the game Tech was still downby 9 points. Then Tech caughtfire.

The fifth period opened with
