By Jerri-Lynn ScofieldDespite the Reagan Ad-

ministration's announced inten-tion to save considerable Federalfunds by modifying eligibility re-quirenients for Guaranteed Stu-dent Loans (GSL's), "Most Of usthink that if it [the program] staysthe wa.y it is, no mioney will besaved," commented Director ofStudent Financial Aid LeonardV. Gallggher '54.

The alterations were "designedto save continuing amounts assubsequent Fiscal years unfold,"GClalgher noted. "The savings[under the modified re-quirements] are expected to besubstantial," he continued.

Accoding to Assistant Directorof Financial Aid J. Samuel Jones,"The second shoe is about to bedropped. The [Reagan] Ad-ministration realizes that itsbudget. cutting wasn't goodenough."

Jones emphasized that changesmade to the GSL program do notapply to most loans for the cur-rent academic year. He estimatedthat 90 percent of these loans hadalready been disbursed.

Jones observed that theeligibility requirements for GSL'snext year would not aflfect ;ll stu-dents. Students whose parents'adjusted gross income exceeds$3(),000.annual11 will have to un-dergo an analysis of' need toqualiy for a GSL.

GCallatgher noted that a quadru-ple standard now applies to allG)SL .wpplicalnts. Students -alil intoone of Iour categories. The first.those wvhose parents earn lessthan $30,000 .nnually, "breezeright through the system*," corn-m7ented Gallagher.

The second, whose parents earnwoare than $30,000 and whoreceive other Federal financialaid, will be the largest group hav-ing trouble, indicated Jones. Inthe past, he noted, these studentshave been able to borrow a GSLas a substitute for part of theirparents' contribution or summerearnings. This practice will nolonger be possible, as Federal aidrecipients will not be able to haveaid awards that total more thanfina.ncial need.

The third category of students,

those whose parents eatrn lessthain $30,000 and who receive aidfrom MIT, might still be eligiblefor ;aid, us well a s those in thefourth caltegory. who receive noMIT aid. Jones indicated that fora flanilly w ith one student at-tending MIT. pa;rent's earningscould be us high as $110,000belore the Student Would beprohibited f1rom borrowing underthe auspices of the GSL program.

Both GClilla-her fnd Jones in-dicated that MIT would probablychainge the form of its studentlinancial Lid announcenients so asto not p recl ude studen t G SLeligibility. Gallagher expl1.inedthat under the new guidelines forGS l d i sbhurs e me n t mo ne ydesigned by tin institution as an-ticipatled work study earningswould be considered part of a stu-denlt's resources, and wouldreduce his GSL eligibility. Ac-cording to Galilagher, "It's almostimperative for us not to call that[program j work-study awardanymore. .. Before, it was con-fusing, now it kis downrightdalmagging. .. Thtit's al simpleschaln -e we will make."'

Both Villars fnd Flemings stiidthat the decision to adopt or re-ject the proposal will be ultimate-ly' decided by a faculty vote, butonly Lifter extensive discussionwith other members of the MITcomlimyunity Neither is sure whatthe outcome will be, but both frehopeful that the proposal will beaccepted by next spring.

Amiong the questions raised

wails how the new limit on1'reshmaltn course loads would ,r-I'ect freshmen wishing to use ex-isting extra units to explore newareas. Resnick replied that thev;ast majority of freshnen usethese units to overload, ratherthan diversify, and thit' the newproposal would also tallow un-limited subjects that could betaken on listener status. However,she did not know how the

proposed system would affect thenminority of freshmen who do ac-tually wish to use their extra unitsto diversify their freshman courseloa.d.

Another concern expressed wasthat since many departmentalei-ht-unit courses sould berecognized as "full subiects,"alone with the twelve-unitcourses, the work-load in themnmight increase. The increasedwork-load would result in thesam7ne problem 'of sophomoreoverloading in departmental sub-jects in an effort to get them outol the waly.

Villars commented that he didnot see this Lis aL problem because,in his experience, the workload inal class is determined by the

umount of material to be learned,which is determined bv thenumber of lecture hours involved.Therefore, he concluded, an eightunit course zeith three lecturehours a week would not .1p-preciably increase in work load.

Another issue that was rilsedwas the possible difficulty Of traLn-sition fromn one system to theother. Villars said that the diglficulties have not been consideredyet. flem ings indicated that MIThats al "grelt history" of allowingindividuals to complete theirprogramns on a "grandfatherCIZILlse," which allows Students tocomlplete their degree on thesystem in which they started.

tcdiu1s process ol' applying to graduate schools. M IT students wvill ex-pend large quantities of time, money, and Correctype applying to awide range ofgraduate programs in science, engineering. la\. busirness.and medicine.

At the sanme time, till over the United States and the wvorld. hioh.school seniors who may one dayy become MIT seniors ire performing, a'ikilar ritual. Reading lists Lire coapiled, essays written, ;nd recomn-necndations collected. The procrastination which now marks the effortxill turn to frenzv by the winter zind evolve into abiect nervousnessshortli before April 15.

The txxo categories of' students currently attempting to reduce theirlii'c histories to fit onto one side of' an 8 1t" by i1 inch page frce comn-pictely different prospects and dilemmas. however. Graduate school isundoubtedly an important phase of a person's life, a .sort of' I'inishingprogrnam before breaking into the real world of work. While gradultescIhool focusCs primnarily on professional development. however, un-dergraduate education significantly affects personal developnaent.

By the time they enter graduaLte school next fall or sometimethercafter, MIT's current crop of seniors will have idopted most of'their personal and political philosophy. They will have at fatirly soundidea of who they tire, what they care about, and where they would liketo be going. While there are undoubtedly numerous exceptions to sobroad a statement, the outlook of the averige college senior is f'requent-ly better developed than that of the typical high school senior.

This degree of development is the result of four years of' personalgrowth durintg the undergraduate career. For many people, the fouryears spent at In undergraduate institution coincide with the most im-portant period of' personal growth. The combination of separationfrom home, exposure to new ideas and people, and expansion o1'careerand life options usually serves to promote an unprecedented and ir-replaceable opportunity for personality evolution.

Most hih school seniors sense the importance of going to college,hult Cw understaind the true value of I university educllion. Highschool students tend to be concerned with the type and range of detzreepro.rams offered or similar characteristics related more to forecastingSuccess atl'er graduation than during matriculation. They do not reali/etimat the success of' an undergraduate program is best measulred by tls-

scssingl who you ;ire when you finish, not what iob you can get or how,much VouL will be paid.

Any stu-dent whose personality remains wholly unchanged alter I'our years aLtM !' or elsewhere either wits extraordinarily nmature upon arrival or'ill remain hopelessly im mature for years after departure. Highschoolers mLust select at place in which to grow ais a person in awddition toone in which to evolve ats a scholar.

IFreshmcn are barely beginning to I'athort the implications of theirdecision to attend M IT. Most will be conter/!with the oLutcome-a l'ew

' ill excel, a few will '.ail. The path upon whi'.i these f'reshman have justembarked is i'tar more difficult and impor'tant one than that whichnow extends bel'ore seniors applying to graduate schools. Now is thetime for schiiors to relatx, and freshman to brace for the changes toC(0nic.

The holidays of RoshHashanah and Yom Kippur aretraditionally occasions for Jews to"take stock" of themselves-- torellect on what they have done inthe past year, and through"tephilot" (prayer), "teshuvah"(repentance), and 'tzedakah"(charitable works) to embarkupon a course of self-improvement. As anyone at-tending holiday services will find,however, the holiday seasonprovides more than just an oppor-tunity for introspection: itprovides an opportunity for Jewsto con,.retlate. to chant flamiliarp,'ayers. to re-establishfriendships, and to re-dedicatethemselves en masse to the princi-ples and practices of the Jewishfllith. The sense of cohesion andcommon purpose which theseholidays restore has severalpragmatic ends.

Most important among theseends is a reminder to each Jewthat he belongs to a company ofindividuals who share commonvalues aLnd ideals and who will, intime of need, offer spiritual sup-port and moral guidance. There isno better illustration of the latterpoint than the Yizkor Service-or Service of Remembranceheld during Yom Kippur. inwhich both mourners and non-Mournlers participate.

Yet this sense of cohesion andcommon purpose which is felt byJews during this holiday seasonseems to be lacking in the secular

world, at least among the genera-tion or American youth nowentering adulthood. It is not hardto speculate on why this might bethe case. Historically. unified andpurposeful activity has centeredaround focal pressures and crises.The Vietnam War and its mis-handling by the federal govern-ment certainly provided thenucleation point around whichthe drive for social change,mounted by the American youthof1 the 1960's. crystallized.

Today, however, we live andwork in an era of' relative peace.comfort, and prosperity. Indeed.the US seems relatively powerlessto do anything about eventsabroad, none of which -save forthe Iranian hostatge affaiir- hasaffected the United States withany urgency. Furthermore, theUS public has shown tremendousresiliency in dealing with a bar-rage of foreign and domesticeconomic traumas.

One of the consequences of thisdiminished sense of camraderieand common purpose has beenthat indlivtiluai goals and concernshave supplanted social and civicones. Anmong college students to-day, one rarely hears debate on is-sues of widespread social concernsuch as Middle East policy. risingdivorce rate. or rising cost ofhealth care. With diminishedawareness about important publiciSSLueS and problems. intelligentdebate and discussion about them

will no longer occur, leavingproblems to go unattended.

The emergence of self-fulfillment and self-indulgence asmajor elements of human acitivityhits probably taken its toll in theworkplace already. Decliningproductivity is a current threat tothe growth and stability of the USecononay and its persistence niaywell be related to the increasedchanneling of effort toward per-.volnal /i. Iillient by workers intheir jobs. Less effort is expendedin promoting corporate and in-stitutional goals and priorities.Indeed, management andleadership corps tend to be highlyfluid, with members of each mov-ing readily from firm to firm andinstitution to institution.

If a relevant lesson can belearned from biologist LewisThomas' recognition of thewidespread natural phenomenonof' "symbiosis" - synergistic in-terdependence- at both the sub-cellular and organismal levels, itis this: individuals workingtogether in a close andmeangingful way are moreproductive and effective than in-dividuals working together as in-dividuals.

The nceans for dealing with thisworrisome trend ill our societyare not manifest yet. But as FloralLewis. who rcently wrote on arelated subject. concludes."reccogli/ing the problem is theIirst step."

(contillued./ i-oln pacg / )dage where the tail very muchwags the dog," said Penman.

The Biology Deparment maylose three major professors to WI:David Baltimore, RobertWeinberg, and Harvey Lodish,whose replacements will be hardto find, claimed Penman.

Penman added, "Many of usthink the use of recombinantDNA is a fad."

Provost Francis Low said thatthe "opportunity for MIT is inthe life sciences." Wl will "give aflavor to MIT which we have nothad before... [it will] bring un-dergraduates into that area [and]depolarize the pull ofengineering," declare Low.

Jerome Lettvin, Professor ofBiology, raised the question ofWI patents. "I think on the wholeit is a most salutory program,"Lettvin said of WI, but added, "Ileel that any institution that hasan alliance with MIT owes its pa-tents to MIT."

David Baltimore said inresponse that the Whitehead In-stitute will receive all royalty frompatents, its it will receive stipendsand graduate student tuition."The kinds of patents to comefrom it won't be worth much,"added Baltimore.

Baltimore asked rhetorically."Is this [Wi] a good thing forMIT or not'? . . . Decreasing levels

of federal support... will force usto look at [other] ways of main-taining research strength."

Anthony French, Professor ofPhysics, expressed concern thatWhitehead Institute professorsmay become ''privileged membersof the faculty" who would nothave to hunt for funds, wouldhave a separate research facility,and would "not [be] in themainstream of MIT life."

Boris Magasanik, Professor ofBiology, said that although hehad initial doubts about theWhilehead Institute, he now sup-ports the arrangement.Magasanik added that in the past"any new proposal [in theBiology departimnent] was opposedby Mr. Penman... I would have

been very worried if Mr. Penmanhad been in favor of theWhitehead Institute."

Gene Brown, Chairman of theBiology Deparmtent, said he did"not want to tell everybody thatthere were no concerns" aboutWI in the Biology Department.There is a "spectrum of opinions"in the department, said Brown."The fact is, only three peoplehave said they are opposed" tothe Whitehead Institute, claimedBrown.

Penman replied "it is untrue weare the only three" opposing WI.He also took exception toMagasanik's comment about hisclaimed opposition to a11l progres-sive measures considered by thebiology department in the past.

It is a rolehe created for himself when the Rodpersfnd Hammerstein musical first opened onBroadway in 1951. Though perhaps.a bitquieter of voice now, he still overpowersthe stage with his presence.

The pLurpose Of intranmurals atNM IT is to allow the commlunity toIparticipa rt e in co mi petitiveithletics regardless of skill or;lailit. Given the zacademic- ind1t tillmes, social- pressures most

students failce, IMs offer a release.lThis outlet should not be abused,howcver. by takin,, out ones'frustrations on the referees of apartCicular sport.

let's look at these rel's for aImomenlt. They are enmployed inthe ;laracr IM sports, such Lis toot-t;llI alnd softball., at pay raniilneI'rom .$4 to S5(.5 an h" -Ur

refereesdepending on experience. Eachsport has a referee evaluator whojudges eachl official's perfor-mance, and determines the rate atwhich they are paid. The systemhas worked reasonably well, es-pecially in the upper leagues.

Those who ofliciate IMs arenot perfect, nevertheless: neitherare the referees in professionalsports, who have considerablymlore training than IM refs. Sure,mistakes will be made, but is itnecesslary to give the person ahard time? Those with complainsshould take them to the evaluatoror mainager of that sport. Gettingupset does 11no one any good.

To date, I've only heard of acouple of problems from rels inml dorme. I also saw two "yellowcards" during a B-league soccerllatch - a snmart move, astempers ~cere getting hot in a veryphN sici gc a nI e. Fo r t I n a t e ly,

ot h i n serious has ha ppened yet.-let's hope thingts staly that kv/la'.
