The issue, Salomon ex- plained, was much more than the simple question of minority rights the delegates dicusssed two weeks ago. The question involves an individual's right to determine his own life style and his concurrent right to examine opposing life styles before he makes his decision. Fear of seduction Dean Nyhart, in- his letter of two weeks ago, gave as one of his objections the fear that stu- dents who were undecided about their own sexual identity might be "seduced" into homosex- uality and would be less happy than they might have been as heterosexuals.

This summer, she called one student, claiming to be a lawyer for Ann Hughes, supposedly a relative of billionaire Howard Hughes, in Boston to "clear up" the.

Instead, he was forced to pay the bill out of his own pocket. A second student received a call from a woman claiming she was a doctor trying to get in touch with a member of another fraternity, for she had an "urgent message." She called him back four days later, to thank him, and succeeded in becoming acquainted with him. He was lead to sign for a room at the Fenway Commonwealth Motor Lodge for the caller's "lawyer," "Thomasina Mellon," for which the bill came to $50. After talking to an Institute psychiatrist who recognized the story, the student was referred to the Dean's office. According to Dean of Stu- dents J. Daniel Nyhart, the young woman is the same one who defrauded students last summer. She is also apparently the same person who appeared in the area in October of 1968, when she used.the same aliases and a very similar story. While the Boston Police have been called in on the case, said Dean Nyhart, "as far as anybody knows, there has been no action." He- understands the police are cautious about the possibility that they might make a false arrest, and are waiting for a formal complaint which can only come from someone to whom the woman owes a legally binding debt. The Dean believed that the woman might owe money to at least one Boston hotel, but knew of no action which had been taken in that area. The October 1968 case had been handled largely by Dean Sorenson. At the time of that case, there had -been some sug- gestions that the woman might be committed for psychiatric observation but that had not been done because, then, as now, there were not sufficient grounds for legal action by the police. During the summer, there were unverified rumors that "Ann" had apparently escaped from a private institution in southern Massachusetts.

University response

Dean for Student Affairs DanNyhart related that interest insuch a program has arisen out ofa feeling that the .universityshould "address itself to thequestions [the report] poses."

Nyhart said that PresidentJohnson, Provost JeromeWiesner, Associate ProvostWalter Rosenblith, Prof. EugeneSkolnikoff (XVII), and severalothers had expressed interest inwhat the MIT communityshould do to follow up on thereport.

11. Betblebem- oeicerlaeds eorwrate,

unviersity ties(Ed. Note:... the fllowingarticle was mailed to our officefrom Bethlehem Steel recentlyand deemed of sufficient com-inunity interest to warrant itspublication. )

A plea for greater recognitionof the close and inseparablebonds of interest between thecollege campus and the corpor-ation was made in Detroit re-r ently by Steward S. Cort, pres-ident and chairman-elect ofBethlehem Steel Corporation.

Addressing a noon meeting ofhe Economic Club of Detroit,

,he Bethlehem executive as-zerted that the flow of assistancefrom society to the collegeampus must be intensified.

'We depend on our collegesand universities and they, insurn, depend on us. We needtheir help. . . and today - rightnow - they most urgently needours. It is the latter part of theequation that appears to be injeopardy today."

Citing the business com-munity's need for well-educatedyoung men and women, hepointed out that it could notsurvive without such talent be-cause of a reliance on ever moresophisticated technology and ad-vanced techniques of businessmanagement.

'Young Look'"But, in a larger sense, college

students are equaly importantto us because they are influentialrepresentatives of that fast-growing portion of the totalpopulation known as- theyounger generation'. Our popu-lation has acquired a new look,and it is a young look. Asrecently as ten years ago allindividuals over thity years ofage slightly' out-numbered thoseunder thirty . . . but today.- theunder-thirties are forty percentmore numerous than those whoare over thirty... and, withinonly five years, young peopleunder thirty will overwhelm usold-timers by fifty-sevren per-cent.

"TiTs is something to thinkabout, hard and long, especiallyin view' of the forthcoming1 8-year-old voting age."

RevolutionariesTouching on "the highly pub-

licized revolutionaries who raiseoxur hackles by taking full ad-vantage of the liberties andmaterial benefits of our societyto preach its overthrow," theB e thlehemz - official described

the total college population." Hesaid the national major pollstersshow that college students havesome comprehension about thefundamental role of business andindustry. He regards this as areason to be hopeful but notcomplacent.

"I am mindful of the findingthat some 94 percent of collegestudents subscribe to the viewthat business is overly concernedwith making a profit, and toolittle concerned with social re-sponsibilities. This does not dis-courage me unduly, because Iam confident that it results froma combination of idealism and alack of knowledge of the facts.Speaking from my own exper-ience, young critics are invar-iably astounded when my asso-ciates and I describe my com-pany's aggressive involvement in,such programs as recruiting ofminority group employees, educ-ating and training the disadvan-taged, and improving and pre-serving the quality of oui .-rironment. Most likely your ownobservations have been similar tomine."

By David SearlSix years ago, before phrases

like "concerned students" and"Underprivileged children" hadbecome cliches, a group of con-cemned students created the MITSocial Services Committee, withthe intent of tutoring under-prvileged children.

The original premise of thefounders was simple and verypersonal: each of them, in con-sidering his own education, haddecided that his life had at somepoint been highly influenced bya "significant personality," inmost cases a teacher. With this in

mid, they collectively decidedto become signiificant to the livesof needy children, with the hopeof guiding them to achievemnent.

That group, after a circuitousbut successful genealogy, is nowMIT-Wellesly UrbanAction. LastThursday, an UrbaqnAction OpenHouse was held in the StudentCenter West Lounge, primarilyfor the purpose of recruitingnew volunteers. Desspite method-ical advertising with posters andleaflets, attendance was rela-tively sparce.

resident of Cambridge. Her con-cern was not rEvolution or drugs-on campus; she had workedclosely with students for severalyears as a parent-administratorof Tutoring Plus, the progranthat is -one of the main concernsof UrbanAction. What she refer-red to was common apathy -.nothing as exotic as beaurocraticor corporate apathy, but some-thing more distressing - youthapathy. She considered it to be acrisis.

Personal involvement"We've recruited at all the

local colleges - MIT, Wellesly,Harvard and Radcliffe,Simmons, and more ... The kidsjust aren't interested this year."Normally, some 150 children arepaired off with tutors at thebeginning of the school year.Thi$ is done on a one-to-onebasis, with a matching of needsand special skills if possible.Volunteers spend from three tofive hours a week in the homesof their students, and the time isnot restricted - field trips, tomuseums and even movies, areencouraged. All of this workstoward a goal of personal in--volvemenit from each side.

Funds and volunteersTutoring Plus is directly des-

cended from the original Urban-

Action, but has since becomeessentially independent with theinflux of parental involvement inadministration. The primaryfunction of the UrbanActiongroup now is to provide fundsand volunteers - the problem atpresent is with the latter.

The whole scope of Urban-Action, in fact, has experiencedseveral trends in recent years.One is a shift toward adminis-tration and coordination, ratherthan control, as more and moreprograms are initiated or incor-porated. Another is an increasingpolitical involvement, not in apartisan sense, but in terms ofpractical experience in such pro-rams as Welfare Rights and theGreater Boston Committee onthe Transportation Zcriis.

Fellowship ProgramAs far as intense personal

Tonight the General Assemblyv will reReiu a_report from its own study group recommendingthat the Student Homophile League be grantedpermission to hold a mixer at MIT. The Tech firstreported on this issue two weeks ago;we feel thatthe delegates have had ample time to poll theirliving groups and prepare for a vote.

There are two closely related aspects of theproblem. First, the community must decide whoshould make the decision. Second, the criterionfor the -decision must be established, and thedecision made.

We believe that ultimate authority for this issueshould rest with the undergraduate government.Clearly, the faculty and staff need not concernthemselves with such a problem involving students.The only debate seems tocenter on what role theadministration should play.

Dean for Student Affairs Dan Nyhart hasargued that, because of the moral and legal issuesinvolved, his office should have a veto over themixer. But his comments, both to The Tech andthe Assembly, indicate that his over-riding concernis protecting the welfare of MIT students, bothhomosexuals and heterosexuals. Apparently, com-munity relations and legal problems are not nearlyso serious as the perceived threat to the studentbody.

__ While genuinely thankff! for Nyhart's advice,we feel that the students themselves are respon-sible enough to make this decision. The Assemblystudy group has done a thorough job of invest-igating all facets of the problem; enough facts areavailable for a reasoned decision. The Assembnlyshould decide for itself the merits of the variousarguments.

As for the decision itself, The Tech suggeststhat SHL be allowed to run a mixer. Just as withother mixers, of course, precautions should betaken to see that MIT does not suffer any physicaldamage. The mixer must be carefully marked, soall students dll understand what is happening. Weurge the SHL to establish a screening procedure toensure that, only students are admitted. Finally,the Assembly must leave the Student CenterCommittee the flexibility to schedule the mixerwith an eye to what space is available and whatother (possibly more numerous) student groupsdesire use of the facilities.

We would close by reconsidering a, crucialpoint. This issue concerns the students far morethan any other group in the co/nmunity. If BostonUniversity can hold a gay mixer without bringingdown the wrath of the city fathers and the localmedia, MIT runs no risks. The student governmentmust be allowed to decide this issue.

Secondarily, The Tech provides a forim forstudent opinion. Editorial policy through thecoming year will be the consensus of views amongthe news editors and the editor-in-chief. When'toolarge a division exists to permit a consensus,individual board members will write signedcolumns discussing their views.

The Tech welcomes written contributions fromall members of the community. Works fromstudents will be run as either letters or columns,while ah other articles will be run as letters to theeditor.

Over the summer Th7ae Tech 's editorial- boardchanged its membership, and the new board feltthat now, at the start of the term, was anappropriate time for a statement of policy.

Our primary goal is to provide-accurate andunbiased news coverage of events at MIT and inthe surrounding community. The editors devote alarge fraction of their time to arranging newsstories, feature articles, sports coverage, and enter-tainnment. We pride ourselves for continuallyemphasizing the value to the community of anobjective news presentation.

By Steve Ehrmann(Ed. Note: ... Steve Ehrmann isvice president of the MIT under-graduate government.)

The predominant emotionpervading student governmentthese days is frustration. A re-calcitrant administration? Afaculty that won't listen to rea-son? Let me list you a list thatmay go a distance in explainingthings.1. Student Committee on En-vironment (SCE) - has a chargecovering all aspects of the MITenvironment and student lifeplus a budget. Has two activemembers.2. Open House - every twoyears, students run a well--budgeted program of openingdoors to the outside community.Free policy rein. One.volunteerthus far.3. Incorporation - a draftcharter for a student corporationnow exists but there is no one to-carry it forward.

4. Committee on MHIT Respon-sibility - comes up at tonight'sGA meeting. If confirmed astask force, will examine issues ofMIT's corporate responsibility tosociety. Three members.5. Communications Board -heart of the government.Charged to be in touch withdoings of all student, faculty,presidential committees. Idealvantage to learn how MIT func-tions. Three members.6. Christmas Convocation -the only event of the year thatbrings the entire community to-gether. No volunteers.

The tale of woe goes quite abit further. Almost without ex-ception, our working groups areundermanned. There is freedomand money to start new projects.No takers.

The worst gap is in the "exec-utive" area. It's the most dif-ficult to fill because the type ofperson we're looking for likes anoverview, can mostly define his

own work,- and is able to getthings done with a minimum offuss.

History tells~us that this hashappened before. It still is toughto take.

An amazing phenomena hasswept the campus. For the mo-ment at least, there has been agreat disengagement from theissues, any issues. What makesthis a matter of exquisite painfor me is that the quotient ofstudent willingness to work forchange divided by Institutechangeability has never beenlower. The place is wide open.

Perhaps it was the strike. Per-haps many people have found no:answers at all for the problemsthey, see. Whatever the reason,the heroic loads being lifted thisterm by an army of rejuvenatedtools would put the old MIT toshame.

Which brings me to my point.Heavy loads I do not knock. I

COMPLAINTS DEPT.

To the Editor of The Tech:In his article about Karen

Burstein's speech, Harvey Bakerfound it necessary to mentionthat Miss Burstein wore "abrown pantsuit and peacesymbol necklace." I wonderwhy. This is rarely found inarticles about speeches by maleCongressional candidates.

This is just one more con-formation-of the fact thiat'menare unable to look at women

without seeing sex first andeverything else second, includingthe A rticular characteristicwhich is impso ant at the mo-ment. Men notice what womenwear (women do too, and t.his ofcourse compounds the problem),and rarely listen to what theyhave to say. I must admit thatthe writer seems to have li.:tenedat least superficially to thespeaker, which is a step in theright direction. But that onesmall descriptive phrase was se,obviously out of place in thecontext of the article, that itcould not fail to escape thenotice of...

you've seen the play.The theme of Woman is prob-

ably well-known to most Cam-bridge students by now, forthough this is a new season, thesame work played at the Caravanregularly last year. Basically, theplay explores the oppression ofwomen throughout their lives,emphasizing the continually.limited number of options opento them.

Women are given the choiceof either being warm, sweet sexobjects or of being rejected -bymen (and other women too) andliving unfulfilling lives. Womenwho choose to move forward toforge new careers of their ownfind that society has stacked thedeck against them.

The dramatic incidents thatare so remarkable are effectedwithout use of elaborate props.For example, the home of atypical woman is nothing otherthan a pure white cage with lacecurtains surrounding it, imp-risoning its female victim inside.At first, the newlywed is thrilledwith her new home, and polishesit up nicely, -muttering the wordsher mother imprinted in her,

Perhaps thecruelest (and most deserved)swipe the play takes at men is atdress designers, who by implic-ationa also see their role as todesign women generally.

The acting itself is genuinelyfime, for the cast of five playscontinuously in strenuous, evenexhausting roles for nearly anhour and a half. Their versatilityis demonstrated by convincingsimulations they give of a cryingbaby, of little girls, of stereo-typed housewives- and mothers,of sexual intercourse ("Wow,"says the hunter), and of child-birth. Of particular note is theway the stereotyped, "normal"(unliberated) men and womenplay act their roles. The lines areso real that the images evoked inone's mind are frightening, foreven while the play went oninside the Caravan, the samelines were being acted out, onlyfor real, two blocks away inHarvard Square.

do?" Her husband, a hunter,("It's my thing," he explains),comes home, with tales of howhard he has worked, and showsno concern for his wife's ownfeelings. He is the provider, andshe exists only to satisfy him.

Symbolic irony aboundsthroughout the play, as a littlegirl's suppressed feelings come tolight much later in life. Littlegirls are supposed to be feminine("Little angel," mother says)and- cannot enjoy getting them-selves dirty. At another point, aprop, a basket of papers,, earliervery important to a man movingto a new job without consultinghis wife, becomes used as "the-garbage," and the question ofwho is going to take it outprovokes a major battle betweena leeching man and his wife.

Most significantly, the issuesraised by the play are neverresolved satisfactorily, for, as inreal life, the oppression ofwomen (and men too) intostereotyped roles continues, andfor the authors to have provideda happy solution would havebeen hypocritical. The play endswith the actors going slowly

By Carolyn MookAfter fifteen years in pro-

fessional music, Ike Turner isfinally approaching th6 top ofhis field. He and his wife/co-starTina, produce one of the mostdynamite R&B shows currentlyavailable. Both have worked foryears as performers playing be-hind the Stones and other top-name groups, but only in thelast year has their notorietyspread to the American public.

Their Friday night perfor-mance at the Boston Arena didnot do them justice. Havingcaught their performances live inL.A. and San Francisco severaltimes, it was evident to one thatthe entire Boston productionwas suffering from a lack ofcoordination on the part of themanagement. The sound manhad no feeling for balance orvolume, and the resulting echo

and boom made it hard to pickout the- sensitivity that theirshow requires; still, the perfor-mance was well worth the ratherexpensive tickets.

Hopefully, the "Ike and TinaTurner Revue" will return to theBoston Arena soon. In a pressconference following the con-cert, both made it evident thatthey hadn't enjoyed theirBoston show, and were dis-appointed in the set-up at theArena. There are indefinite plans

for a TV special, and several"underground" movies with seg-ments containing parts of theRevue. WBCN is already playingtracks from their next album,which will be released in acouple of weeks.

Ike and Tina will be back inthis area soon. They're into athing that is extremely hard todo well, and in a tough fieldthey're at the top. If you're notinto them yet, look it over; it'sworth the effort.

Desmond Morris (The NakedApe), Lovers and Other Stran-gers does attempt to survey themating habits of Homo Sapiens.Several pairs of people at variousstages are exhibited: a youngcouple entering courtship,another young couple gettingmarried, slightly older couplesfighting, or on the verge ofdivorce, middle-aged adultery,and old-aged habituation. Byspreading itself so thin, the film,as might be expected, fails topenetrate human behavior withany depth.

One constantly senses thepossibility of deeper thrusts into

-human activity. A young man,trying to explain to his fatherwhy he wants to get divorced,complains that he and his wifeare strangers. "We're all stran-gers, but you become deeperstrangers," father replies. "Theremust be more to it than that,"the boy asks. "There is nomore," father answers. At ano-ther point, the fellow says"We're not happy together." Hisparents reply "Who's supposedto be happy? Don't look for

Working against the film'spotential are several franklybanal and repetitious routines;they're funny at first, but theysoon become a bore. In partic-ular, the lecherous man trying tomake it with the inhibited, intel-lectual girl, is overdone, as areseveral other sequences. The filmis trying too hard to be funny, ina stagey kind of way, instead ofallowing the natural events andactivities to stand by themselves.There is ample humor andpathos simply in the characters,without having to manipulateand contrive the situationsaround them.

The overall implication of thefilm is that although our matingsystem seems to be a failure,there's really not much. we cando about it, except to hope thatthe next pair will do better. Thefllm does no more than tell uswhat we already know, withoutexploring the why of it all -something we might have hopedfor from those few genuinemoments in the film. At the PiAZEe They're.

thoughts that go thriough thehero's mind after the accident,are questionable. Accident vic-tims who suffer concussionsseem to have no rational thoughtprocesses; if they recover, theysometimes fail to remember any-thing at all about the accident.

Despite the unsatisfying se-tting, the film does, however,make a serious effort to presentcommunication among people asthe most important value, espec-ially in the. context of death.Also, the accident is one of themost 'exquisitely photographedsequences I have ever seen, bothin slow and fast motion, andfrom different perspectives.

(Continued from page 4)just happen to think that doing alittle honest toil for one's com-munity ought to be part of thatload.

A note on ideology: I per-sonally am not a revolutionary,nor do I happen to think thatthe methods of revolution willaccomplish anything particularlydesireable either in our societyor at this institution. I dohappen to think that a littleintelligence and a lot of sweatcan accomplish something. Forevidence, I call on anyone whograduated from this place fouror more years ago. The changesare not nearly complete. Theywill not happen by themselveshowever. We are going to have toget out and push.

If we're good and we'relucky, we might just see a newjudicial system this year and thebeginnings of a community-widepower base in governance. Alittle student involvement in thebudgeting process may possiblyoccur and hopefully a revampedsystem of funding for the activ-ities. I think the student govern-ment may become a little moreuseful to students this year if weget a few more people to care.For the record, I do not expectthat we will be able to end alldefense-related research (al-though we may be able to keeptrack of the D-Labs divestmentif we can find some interestedsleuths) nor do I expect an endto racial violence. -

We're not asking for much,just a few more people whothink it might be fun and part of

their education to try to changethis -place around. If you happento be interested in that sort ofthing, or if you just want toregister a complaint or need helpin coping with a hostile environ-ment, give us a call at x2696.

One more thing: the issue ofthe Student Homophile League'sproposed mixer will come upagain tonight at the GeneralAssembly's meeting in the Sala.I've talked to a few people aboutit and found myself in disagree-ment with just about everyonein one respect.'No matter howpeople felt, pro or con, theyseemed -to think it was a simpleissue. Either it was out of thequestion that the League be al-lowed to hold a mixer or it wascompletely obvious that theyshould get the space. I person-ally don't believe the issue to be

simple and I hope that nobodyforgets that real people, fellowstudents if you Will, both homo-sexual and hetero, are at thecenter of the issue. The GeneralAssembly did the right thing twoweeks ago to table, the issue forstudy and if we are lucky, wemay yet set things to rights.

much of the support for thisresearch will be shifted to NSF.This will-invoive extensive wid-ening of NSF's involvement withuniversity research; Bisplinghofffeels this was a major factor inhis -gainimg and accepting theappointment.

Tech, Bisplinghoff said that theadjustment will mainly involveincorporation of increased sup-port for university research intoNSF's structure. His associationwith such research, he feels, wasinstrumental in his appointment(the Senate confirmed PresidentNixon's appointment last week).

DOD contracts cutThe NSF will be. taking over

many research contracts whichhad been sponsored by the De-partment of Defense, bufhad been ended by the Mansfield'Amendment. Last winter Con-gress passed the measure, which

(Continued from page 1)well-adjusted as a homosexualwould be discouraged from pur-suing his inclinations and repressthem. This, he felt, could lead tojust as many psychological dif-ficulties. -

Need for mixerSalomon questioned the

assumption that a person wouldbe happier as a heterosexual, perse. If, in fact, this were not true,then banning the mixer wouldmight prevent some students'from forming a sexual identitywhich would better suit them.The mixer, he said, "would helppeople find out whether theywould be happier as a homo-sexual or a heterosexual."

In his discussions withpsychologists at BU, Salomonheard arguments both for andagainst the mixer. Some of thosefor asserted that no one wouldgo to such a mixer unless he had

already made a commitment tothat way of life, while othersargued, in agreement withNyhart, that ther'e was a poes-sibility of someone being sed-uced into a role in which hewould be-truly unhappy.

No 'pat' answersSalomon characterized the

decision as a choice betweenprobabilities, further assertingthat his research had lead him tobelieve there was no simpleanswer at this point. Salomonsaid that the study had madehim aware of a complexitywhich he had not seen in theissue before, and clearly statedthat there could be no "pat"answers when so many of the"'experts" disagreed.

The Committee was formedto look into the issues along thelines of Dean Nyhart's objec-tions, in the hopes that he mightbe convinced to reverse his de-cision,

'Why not?'Gay mixers have already been

held at Harvard and BostonUniversity, with the BU mix erhaving the university adminis-tration's approval. Salomoncharacterized the BU adminis-trations attitude as "Why not?"

The homosexual mixer issuesurfaced last spring when theMIT Student Homophile Leaguerequested permission to hold anopen mixer in the Student-Center. When their request wasturned down by the Dean'soffice, SHL members soughthelp from the undergraduategovernment.

Living group delegates werereluctant to -vote on the issuetwo weeks ago, deciding insteadto refer it to a committee forstudy.

good we really ,.. was thepost-game comment from coach.Bill Morrison, after his Techsoccer team had triumphed overTrinity 2-1 in Ifartford on Satur-day. As close as it seemed, theEngineers appeared to be much,the superior team. in this, thefirst hard test of what is one of.the finest teams in years.

The Techmen started rightfrom the beginning, dominatingplay with the help of a fairlystrong wind factor. The offense,supported by some good clear-ing, passed from the fullbackline, worked time and time againinto the Trinity end for shots.At about the 7 minute mark ofthe first period, a Trinity hand-ball gave MIT a penalty shot, butall-New-England JerryMaskiewics '71 failed to convertit. Maskiewics made up for it,though, when at the 16 minutemark, he took a pass from leftinside Iain Glendinning '72 andbeat a defenseman to the outsideon the right wing. From about20 yards out from the right edgeof the penalty area, he put a fineshot to the lower far corner,which hit the post and bouncedin.

With the changing of sidesafter 'the first period, the windadvantage also changed. WhileTrinity only managed one shoton goal in the first period toMIT's five, the margin was 7 to 2for Trinity in the second. Mostof the 7 shots were from welloutside the penalty area due tosome fine defense but in the firstminute of the period, a lapsecausing an inability to clear theball left Snyder, the Trinity leftoutside, open with a loose ball,which he converted to tie thescore. With the score at 1-1, oneTrinity drive broke open theirleft outside, who sent a cross tothe head of one of the insides.With the ball headed for theupper left comer, freshmangoalie Rich Straff '74 made agreat diving one-hander deflec-tion to hold the game to 1-1 athalftime.

With the beginning of thethird quarter, MIT again had-thewind advantage. The turningpoint of the game, however,came at the 8 minute mark whenKen Stone '72 took a pass on

Gambia, but were foiled.Though out-shot 7-0 the Techdefense held tight with excellentplay from fullbacks Al Levim'71, Tony Reish '72, and LewJester '72. Jester drew the job ofguarding Koro in the middleallowing him only 3 shots, all ofthem forced. Again though, itwas goalie Straff who made thedifference. With the ball on theright corner, one of the Trinitattackers sent a bullet shot forthe upper far comet that seemedto be destined to score but forthe diving deflection from Straffand drawing awed applause fromthe partisan Trinity crowd ofwell over three hundred.

..

The only unfortunate spot inthe game was an injury to start-ing right halfback Danlny Bocek'72, who suffered a bruise of acalf muscle and had to leave inthe third period. Luckily heshould only be-out for a fewdays. His position was amplyfilled by John Fetrow '73 andMarty Bregman '72.

This victory was a long timein coming since MIT hadn'tbeaten Trinity since 1961. Inwinning though, as coachMorrison said, the team didn'trealize how good it was. Thoughdominating play for the first 3.quarters, and playing a toughdefense in the fourth, thereseemed to be a definite "runningscared" attitude towards theend.

This week the team looks toavenge two of last years losses toWPI and Middlebury. The WPIgame is away on Wednesday andthe Middlebury game is Saturdayat home at 2:00 pm.

SOCCER COACH BILL MOR-RISON. "We beat a good teamon Saturday. We just don't real-ize how good we really are. MITwas definitely the better teamout there." The booters toppedTrinity for the first time since1961 by a score of 2-1.

penalty shot. Center-halfbackdRich- Eskin '72 took the shotand placed an impossible-to-stopshot which grazed the left goal-post.

The fourth quarter sawTrinity playing a game of des-perate catch-up soccer.

excellent runs by fullbackWayne Book. Both these runswere set up by crisp executionand coordination in Tech's backline. The second run resulted ina line-out. Tech's forwards wonthe line-out and then pushedtheir way across the try linedisplaying impressive strengthand ferocity. Ed Walker was onthe botton of the pile of Techforwards who grounded the ball.Walker's successful conversiongave Tech a short-lived 5-3 lead.

Mystic regained the lead forgood on the following kickoffwith the help of a Tech off-sidepenalty. This gave the Mystickicker a shot at a 25 yard fieldgoal making the score 6-5.

Things went from bad toworse in the second h9W. Astrong Mystic line movementbrought the ball into a ruck onthe left side of the field nearTech's try-line. Quick work bythe Mystic forwards started theball back down their line in theopposite direction. Unfortu-nately, Tech's line had been slowreforming, allowing Mystic tocreate an overlap, and a swift-wing carried the ball into thecorner to make the score 9-5.

Mystic's next score was a gift.The ball had been kicked alongthe ground towards Tech's goalout of a vigorous tuck. Withmost of the field charging downat .them, several Tech playersattempted to kick the ball backoff the ground instead of pickingit up. The kick was weak and anobviously off-side Tech playerreached for the ball reflexively.Mystic was awarded a penaltykick from only 10 yards awayfrom the posts, and the scorewas 12-5.

Tech kept itself in the gameby driving downfield aand scoringa penalty kick- of their ownbooted byWalker, but Mysticended the- -gme- by koringanother cheap- try as the gameended.

showed an occasional lack ofcompetitive fire last Saturday -resulting in a 15-8 Mystic RFCvictory. The loss evened theRugger's season record at 1-1.

Mystic scored first after usinga good kick to penetrate deepinto Tech territory. The Mystichooker won the ball in a setscrum and their serum halfcaught Tech's defense flat -
