Representatives of several international community groups, including Soviet AmericanStudents and Latvian community members, gathered in front of 77 MassachusettsAvenue Friday afternoon to protest the Soviet treatment of Russian scientist Andrei D.Sakharov and his family.- Sakharov, a developer of the Soviet hydrogen bomb and aparticipant in the negotiations for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, received the 1975Nobel Peace Prize.

administrative view he just didn'treally quite fit," Halfman said.

The ESG community was origi-nally concerned that a facultymember willing to direct the pro-gram could not be found, Half-man said. "The ESG Directormust be willing to spend 50 per-cent of his time on ESG. Primar-ily, he must be a tenured facultymember who has deep interest inundergraduate education and stu-dents and finds this kind of at-mosphere challenging. Secondly,he should have a strong back-ground in science and technolo-gy," Halfman said.

Holly B. Sweet, associate di-rector of ESG, said, 'The ES&director must be interested in stu-dent centered education and sym-pathetic to this. He must also likeand respect students."

Halfman said ESG would havebeen shut down if a new directorwas not found. "Now there is nodanger of ESG closing down.WVe're feeling good at this point.There was good will among thefaculty for ESG," he added.

By Edward WhangThe Advisory Committee to

the Experimental Study Groupnominated J. Kim Vandiver '69,associate professor of Ocean En-gineering, to be the new directorof the group, according to JohnM. Deutch, dean of the Schoolof Science.

"I am delighted that he wasnominated, and I expect thathe'll soon be confirmed," Deutchsaid.

Robert L. Halfman '44, Pro-fessor of Aeronautics and Astro-nautics and current director ofthe Experimental Study Group,will retire from his post at theend of this year to assume emeri-tus status.

The ESG Advisory Committeehad previously nominated Profes-sor of Psychology Stephen L.Chorover to direct the program.However, Deutch rejected thenomination. Deutch would notspecify reasons for the rejection.

"From the advisory commit-tee's point of view, Chorover wasa Rood candidate, but from an

A group in the Department ofAeronautical and AstronauticalEngineering set a record and mayhave captured a $30,000 prizewhen its human-powered aircraftMonarch flew a triangular coursein less than three minutes Fridaymorning.

Frank Scarabino, an MIT sen-ior, successfully flew Monarch1500 meters -in two minutes, 49seconds. Scarabino had pilotedand powered the aircraft on 65previous test flights.

He provided 75 percent ofMonarch's in-flight power direct-ly by pedalling a cycle attachedby a shaft to the propeller, andsupplied the remaining power bypedalling before he left theground to charge nickel-cadmiumbatteries.

Monarch is a propeller-drivenmonoplane with a wingspan of 61feet, made of aluminum tubing,styrofoam, and graphite compos-ite and covered with Mylar, ac-cording to Scan Tavares '84, astudent who worked on the pro-ject.

The pilot can turn, bank, androll the plane by working therudder and ailerons, Tavaressaid. Additionally, the pilot canalter the pitch of the propeller tomaximize efficiency, he noted.

The group began work onMonarch in August, 1983, soonafter the speed prize was estab-lished, according to John Lang-ford, a graduate student in Aero-nautics and Astronautics who co-directed the project. Abouit 6200man-hours of work has gone intothe effort, Langford said.

The Mzonarch, group also in-cluded Mark Drela, a graduatestudent in Aeronautics and As-tronautics who was the other co-director of the project; formergraduate students Scott Cliftonand Stephen Finberg; MIT andDraper Laboratory employeesBarbara Langford and JohnFlynn; alumni Rick Sheppe andJuan Cruz; and undergraduateTidhar Shalon '87.

The speed prize is the third hu-man-powered flight prize fundedby British industrialist HenryKremer and administered by the

Royal Aeronautical Society ofLondon. Monarch is the fourthcraft built by the Department ofAeronautics and Astronauticsover the last 15 years in attemptsto win the Kremrler prizes.

It is "unnecessary and undesir-able" for MIT to file an aticuscuriae brief with the SupremeC6-urt opposing the SolomonAmendment, according to Presi-dent Paul E. Gray '54.

MIT lawyers and independentlegal experts advised Gray thatthe "arguments against the Solo-mon Amendment are by nomeans assured of carrying before-the Supreme Court; the issues be-fore the Court are likely to be re-solved in favor of the govern-ment," according to Gray.

Although MIT will not-replacethe federal'aid lost by those stu-dents who fail to register for thedraft, a group of students is try-ing to set up a scholarship fundfor the non-registrants.

Joseph Minato '84, a memberof the student group, said Graydeclined to submit a brief be-cause other schools had alreadyfiled in opposition to the'regula-tions, and because he did notthink a brief with MIT's name onit would impress the SupremeCourt.

Gray read the briefs submittedby the University of Minnesotaand by Swarthmore College -"the brief filed by Minnesota wascomprehensive, and addressed allof the issues; any brief MIT filedcould not have improved uponthe legal arguments."

Gray said there "is some publiccost involved; the public under-stands the question little. Thosewho have heard of it at all see the

issue as 'shall people be requiredto register for the draft?' "

"The general public has no un-derstanding of the subtleties in-volved," he said. "There is defi-nitely an element of risk in beingmisunderstood."

The risk was very important inGray's decision not to file a brief,said Craig Reynolds '84, anothermember of the student group."He didn't think it was importantenough for the risk involved," hesaid.

In the event that the Court up-holds the regulations, the groupof students will try to get Con-gress to repeal the law. The stu-dents contacted Sen. Mark O.Hatfield, R-Ore., one of the chiefopponents of the amendmentwho has expressed interest in abill to repeal the regulation.

Hatfield Informed the studentsthat he needs university presi-dents and financial aid officers to

newspaper, might cease regularpublication after its last issue ofthe academic year appears tomror-row, according to Lisa B. Jungh-err '81, editor of Ergo.

"The main problem is the lackof writers," she said, adding thatthe problem "has been growingfor several years." Ergo currentlylists 29 people as staff members.

The staff will make a final deci-sion in September after evaluat-ing the- personnel situation at thattime.

Jungherr said a secondaryproblem was finding someone toreplace her as editor.

Kevin B. Theobald G. produc-tion manager of Ergo, said, "Weare not sure if there is someonequalified to be editor next year."

Jungherr said she would rather

TT

not be editor of Ergo next yearbecause the staff would prefer tohave a student as editor, and be-cause she does not want to spendso much time with the paper.

The Ergo staff has held severalmeetings over the past month todiscuss- the personnel problem,Jungherr said, but they have beenunable to identify the cause ofthe lack of staff. Jungherr saidthe problems with recruitmentcould be related to increasingacademic pressures on students atMIT, but "I really don't want tospeculate on that."- Jungherr said Ergo plans tohave a table at the Activities Mid-way during Residence and Orien-tation Weeks and to mail a copyof their summer issue to fresh-men in an attempt to recruit newstaff.

Ergo currently has no financial

problems, according to Jungherr."We are solvent," she said.

The newspaper is published ev-ery Wednesday and is distributedat MIT, Harvard University, Bos-ton University and Wellesley Col-lege.

WlorldAfghanistan concerned about security - Afghanistan an-nounced Sunday it will join six other nations in supporting the Sovietboycott of the 1984 Olympics. The Soviets have attributed their actionto concerns about security at the games. In a poll conducted over theweekend by USA TODAY, 56% of Americans questioned said theybelieved the boycott is in retaliation for the US boycott of the 1980summer Olympics in Moscow.

Kidnapped couple called CIA spies - The Eelam People's Revo-lutionary Army, a Tamil separatist organization, threatened Saturdayto kill an American couple kidnapped earlier last week unless a $2million ransom in gold is paid and 20 political prisoners are released.A statement by the Marxist organization accused the couple, Stanleyand Mary Alien of Akron Ohio, of being "engaged in intelligencegathering." Stanley Allen is officially employed by the Ruhlin Com-pany of Columbus, Ohio, and is working on a US sponsored waterproject in Sri Lanka's Tamil Heartland. Sri Lankan president JuniusJaywardene has been quoted as saying his nation will not pay any ran-som.

Reagan's National Security Advisor defends use of covertaction - Robert C. McFarlane, national security advisor, said Sun-day that covert action in Central America is an increasingly necessary"intermediate option of policy" between going to war and doing noth-ing when nations which are friendly to the United States are underattack. McFarlane has said that the public needs to be informed thereis a "gray area" between "total war" and "total peace." Congress hascriticized covert actions in Central America, in part as a response tothe discovery that the CIA has been involved in the mining of Nicara-guan harbors.

M 0leovationSome like it dense - Philip Abrams, the number two official atthe Department of Housing and Urban Development, has attributedthe overcrowded housing situation among Hispanic families to "a cul-tural preference." Abrams, in an interview last week, stated that over-crowding was "a characteristic of Hispanic communities, irrelevant totheir social [and] economic conditions." When asked if poverty mightaffect housing choices, Abrams said "I don't think so. I'm told thatthey don't mind and they prefer, some prefer, doubling up." Abramssaid his remarks were based on a briefing from HUD research officeofficials. In a later interview, he acknoiwledged that income might be afactor in housing choices.

Inparticular, we have been commu-nicating often with the StudentCenter Committee beginning inmid-April, attempting to pro-mote the understanding and trustwhich has been lacking in thepast. Because of this, we werebetter prepared to deal with re-cent events and look forward toestablishing relationships whichwill mutually beneficial in the fu-ture.

Now a few comments regard-ing the last UA Council meetingwhen the Alcohol Policy Com-mittee resolution was passed. Wehave contacted the chairman ofthe committee, Dean Leo Os-good, and the chairmen of theInterFraternity Conference andthe Dormitory Council to ar-range a meeting of the commit-tee. We will be studying alcoholuse policies on other campusesacross the nation to gain insightinto the MIT problem and possi-ble solutions. The decisions anddiscussions of this committee willbe communicated to the UACouncil and representative opinl-ion will be solicited on a regularbasis.

The reasons for choosing theAlcohol Policy Committee as anagenda topic are that it wiassomething we could have an ef-

(Continued from page 4)ny at all. How would you like tospend an hour drawing a posteronly to find "out of proportionand perspective" written on it thenext day? Graffiti should be leftto juvenile delinquents; they arefunnier than frustrated geniuses.

* You do not have the right topull malicious computer hacksjust because you figured how todo them. Ar I allowed to pickyour pocket just because I'mgood at it? Should anybody whofinds a way to beat the StudentCenter Coffeehouse accountingsystem be allowed to go free? Ihave had endless arguments withboth hackers and anti-hackersover this, but the Massachusettslegislature has finally taken myside. Malicious hacking is nowpunishable by a fine of up to fif-teen thousand dollars. Thinkabout that the next time youwant to modify some class's ob-ject library. "It was just a hack"will not hold water in court any-more.

O You do have the right tocriticize other student activitiesincessantly, even in print. I have

often been incensed by the self-important denunciations that ap-pear in this newspaper, but. real-ly, what can be done about it?Sure, The Tech has a nasty habitof telling the Student CenterCommittee, the Lecture SeriesCommittee, the Musical TheatreGuild, Technique and especiallythe Undergraduate AssociationCouncil what to do and how todo it. Sure, none of the armchaircritics at The Tech are going tojoin Technique or write a musicalnext year. They will still be here,criticizing the same activities theydid last year and getting the lastword on any replies. But that iswhat newspapers have alwaysdone and will always do.

I know it really pisses peopleoff when they are attacked inprint by people who hardly knowwhat they are talking about, butthat's freedom of speech, andthere is no fair way to censor it. Iwas ready to decapitate one ofthese evil columnist types myself,but he suggested that I write myown column instead. I hate to re-mind you, but this is MIT, andyou can do that here.

To the Editor:The following is a response to

Simson L. Garfinkel's column onProject Interphase:

Dear Simson,I read with interest your open

letter to President Paul E., Gray'54 on Project Interphase. Whilethere is 'Much in the column thatis correct, let me clear up someobvious errors by briefly describ-ing what Project Interphase is allabout. The program seeks to en-sure success of minority studentsat MIT by improving the aca-demic and social skills of a select-ed group of minority studentswho are invited to attend. Thecriteria for selection include: pri-or student experience in summerprograms like this; the quality ofthe high school from which thestudent comes (has it been able toprovide exposure to labs, lecture,and other academic opportunitiesi.e. high quality educational ser-vices?); the competitive academicenvironment from which the stu-dent comes; the social environ-ment from which the studentcomes (is it like MIT?); the aca-

demic record of the student's per-sonality i.e. maybe the student isa bit too shy.

An examination of these selec-tion criteria then provides someof the reasons why we have aProject Interphase - to elimi-nate potential stumbling blocksbefore the MIT semester beginsso that students will not feel in-adequate about themselves orMIT. Should it be available to allstudents? Certainly a programlike this would be of value tomany students. Is the program"rernedial"? If by remedial youmean "to correct or improve on-e's skills in a particular area"then, yes, it is remedial. In thatvein, I would hope that all of ourlives are remedial. But, if by re-medial you infer that these stu-dents are so far behind that theymust have a program like this to,in some way, bring them up tothe same levels of academic andsocial competency as other MITstudents, then, no, Project Inter-phase is not remedial. Finally,much of the curriculum for Pro-ject Interphase emanates fromthe Departments of Physics,

Math, Chemistry, and the Writ-ing Center. I am sure they wouldwelcome your comments aboutthe curriculum.

Dr. William D. McLaurinDirector, Project Interphase

To the Editor:It has been a tradition for at

least the last four years at BexleyHall to hold a cookout, "TheBeast Roast," each spring in theBexley courtyard. Although thisinvolves having an open fire, theCambridge Fire Department hasissued fire permits for this pur-pose in the past without incident.

This year, however, with lessthan a week to go before theevent, we found out through ourown inquiries that the MIT Safe-ty Office is now in charge of issu-ing fire permits on campus. Afterbeing repeatedly deflectedthrough the well-established MITbureaucracy, we discovered thatthe Safety Office is unwilling togrant our request for a fire per-

,mit to be used in the usual loca-tion: the Bexley courtyard. Itseems unusual that the Cam-bridge Fire Department has beenwilling to grant our requests inthe past but MIT's own SafetyOffice is nov unwilling. In addi-tion, we cannot see how their ac-tion is being responsive to thewants of the students.

Furthermore, we feel that de-nying a fire permit to Bexley the

week following the Senior HouseSteer Roast is discriminatory.When this was mentioned to theOffice of the Dean for StudentAffairs, we were told that it wasunlikely that the Steer Roastwould be allowed to occur in theSenior House courtyard in yearsto come.

If there had ever been a prob-lem with these events in the past,we could understand the ratio-nale for such fire regulations. Toour knowledge there has neverbeen any problem with an uncon-trolled fire at these events, andwe feel that these new fire regula-

tions are completely without jus-tification.

Although these regulationsmay only directly affect the fu-ture outdoor parties at SeniorHouse and Bexley, we feel thatthe forced relocation of SteerRoast and Beast Roast will be feltthroughout the campus. We willbe circulating a petition amongMIT students voicing our disap-proval of the new policies regard-ing fires at outdoor parties. Inaddition, petitions will be madeavailable at the Bexley and SeniorHouse desks.Twenty-six residents of Bexley

Hall

fect on since it was in the prelimi-nary stages, it is a topic of inter-est to students at MIT, and it issomething which at this timedoes not involve extensive re-search. Therefore, it could bedealt with in a reasonableamount of time and discussedlater as necessary. Debate of atruly substantial issue or onewhich has been discussed in otherforums would require presenta-tions by groups involved andcould result in a flaming session(which the General Assembly wasnotorious for) with no tangibleoutcome or benefits. A debate ofa controversial issue would alsomerit more than a single UACouncil meeting due to the sensi-tive nature and possible ramifica-tions.

Lastly, we would like to thankThe Tech for referring to the UACouncil as "MIT's sole organ ofstudent government" in the May8th editorial, despite the Coun-cil's predecessor's past ineffec-tiveness. However, we would alsolike to point out that althoughthe UA Council's predecessorshave at times seemed less thancompetent, the UA General Com-mittees and the Association ofStudent Activities often were ableto continue to perform theirfunctions, thus exemplifying thestrength of the UndergraduateAssociation.

Flight group could win prize(Continued from page 1)

Kremer prize, offered in 1959 forflying in a figure-eight pattern. In1977, MacReady's group alsowon the second Kremer prize, forflying across the English Chan-nel.

Because the contest rules allowonly ten minutes from the timethe pilot gets into the cockpit un-til he passes the starting line at aminimum altitude of two meters,Scarabino was only able tocharge the batteries for sevenminutes. A bid by MacReady'sgroup to win the speed prizefailed because his pilot took toolong charging his batteries.

No minimum altitude wasspecified for the rest of thecourse, and Scarabino kept theplane about eight feet off theground.

"The Royal Society took twomonths to reject MacReady's at-tempt [at the triangle speed re-cord] in his plane, the Bionic

openly express their support of arepeal if he is to succeed.

Minato said he thinks Graywill wait until the Supreme Courtannounces a decision before helobbies before Congress.

Gray does not want to "call infavors" and then have them wast-ed if the Court ruled against theamendment, according to Min-ato.

"In getting things done in Con-gress, one possesses only a finitenumber of chips," Gray ex-plained. "I will use whatever in-fluence I might have with the

Bat, last September," Langfordnoted. He expects the Society willtake "two weeks to two months"to process the Monarch group'sclaim. "If we win, we'll go toLondon to pick it up," he said.

Kremer and the Royal Societyhave offered further prizes ofabout $7,500 apiece for eachgroup to break the speed recordby 5 percent or better, Tavaressaid. The rules stipulate that ifthe group wins the original speedprize, it may not win the addi-tional prizes for breaking its ownrecord within the next year, ac-cording to Langford.

This restriction will be sus-pended in the case of the groupthat set the original record break-ing a new record set by anothergroup, he noted.

Langford said the group plansto give a demonstration of Mon-arch later this week, and willkeep it hangared thereafter untiltheir claim to the Kremer prize is

confirmed."After that, we'll let those

who've worked on it try to fly it,and if it survives - and that's abig 'if' - we may try to get agovernment contract to do someinstrumental measurements onthe aerodynamics. The planecould also go into a museum, orit could just get cut up," Lang-ford said.

Low-speed flying is an area ofincreasing interest to the Office ofNaval Research and NASA, ac-cording to Langford. Once theprovince of model airplane hob-byists, the aerodynamics of lowspeeds have found applications inthe very high and very low alti-tude aircraft used by the military,he observed.

"There's a new low-speed flightlab at MIT, and we might join upwith them, but we haven't identi-fied any specific agencies or con-tracts for our work," Langfordsaid.

3f Nundesirabtle,Massachusetts delegation - it isfoolish to do anything rightaway."

Gray said he does not believeCongress will repeal the regula-tions. "They will go with theirconstituents; most men will nottake a position on this issue thatwill alienate the majority of theirconstituents."

Although Gray is opposed tothe Solomon amendment, he saidhe believes those who refuse toregister for the draft are doing so"foolishly, because there is nodraft, and if there is one, theywill be given the opportunity to

register as a conscientious objec-tor."

The statutes regarding consci-entious objector status, however,will not automatically protectstudents from being drafted,Reynolds claimed.

Most draft boards in the past,according to Reynolds, interpret-ed the regulations as requiringthat a conscientious objector "beagainst war in any form, some-one who would not even defendthe United States if attacked."

"There are very few non-regis-trants who can say that," Reyn-olds said.
