Cambridge is a city of manypersuasions: almost any nightof the week various cults arechanting, plotting or exchang-ing stir-fry recipes over works.But it is only on Wednesdaynights that a group of menmeet at 4 IT for two hours ofsquidging, squopping, pottingand occasional bristoling orgramping. And they do it withthe door wide open.

drop dateBy David B. Koretz

The Committee on EducationalPolicy (CEP) voted yesterday torecommend to the faculty that adecision on the controversialDrop Date policy proposals bepostponed until the Feb. 15, 1978faculty meeting.

(Informed sources were inagreement that the CEP's recom-mendation is almost certain to beaccepted by the faculty at its Dec.21 meeting.)

The statement released yester-day read in full:

"The Committee onEducational Policy by unanimousvote agreed to recommend to thefaculty that a vote on the DropDate policy be deferred until theFebruary faculty meeting.

"This action was taken inresponse to the concern expressedby some students that they wouldnot have ample opportunity to ex-press their views to the faculty ifthe vote were taken at the Dec. 21faculty meeting."

Professor Robert Huisizer.chairman of the CEP, told TheTech that the original delay (untilthe December meeting) was to

decision"give the community an oppor-tunity" to have their views knownby the faculty before the vote.

Hulsizer admitted that thedelay "may have looked like aconspiracy," but maintained thatthe intent was to let students andfaculty think about the proposalbefore action was taken.

The CEP and the Committeeon Academic Performance havebeen discussing since October aproposal to limit to one thenumber of courses a studentcould drop after the fifth week ofa semester.

Hulsizer contended that sincestudents don't vote at facultymeetings, it is "irrelevant" whenthe meeting takes place if the stu-dents make their views known tothe faculty in advance.

if the meeting were held inDecember, he added. it wouldn'tmatter, since there would havebeen time to influence thefaculty's vote, It's just a "sym-bolic thing." he maintained.

·"The effective wa)' to influencethe faculty," he noted, "isthrough the media and othermeans.

mation on the South African in-volvements of the largest corpora-tions in which it has invested.although Institute administratorshave apparently received noprotests about thes& holdings.

Several other universities in thearea have recently received de-niands that thev divest themselvesof stock in companies doingbusiness in South Africa, but anlnthe Universit. of Massachusettsat Amherst and Hampshire Col-lege have d.,e-sted so far, and

their controversial holdings wereminimal.

T'he calls for divestment havefollowed the recent wave ofrestrictions on free speech andmovement instituted by the SouthAfrican government againstblacks.

Special Assistant to the

Davenport noted that the totalnumber of undergraduates whodesignate C-ourse VI as their ma-jor has gone up steadily. while thetotal -amount of money availableto the department has remainedthe same or decreased slightlyover tire sarme span of time.

There are two issues involved,said Davenport:* How does the departmentmatch its available resources withits responsibilities for propereducation'!· 916 undergraduates haveselected Course VI as a major -almost a third of the total whohave designated majors. How canthis growth be checked?

¥Woodson, Housemaster ofBurton House, characterized theculprit, presumably a student,whose innocent "hack" caused aflood of the first order on the Firstfloor of BiJrton House Mondaynight.

Several huge wads of computertape were found at the bottom ofthe main drain: they had effective-1- stopped up the drain so that nowater could pass through. As aresult the water backed up thedrain. flooding thenmen's rooms,and ultimately the whole floor.

A plumber who was called in torepair the damage stated that thecost of fixing the back-up would'be very high. and that he was con-vinced that 'the block-up wasdelberate. Several people in-voied expressed the opinion thatthe hack was accomplished byflushing long lengths of the tapedown the toilet repeatedly until ajam had been effected. The prac-tical joker had obviously spentthe better part of several hours toaccomplish his deed,

The clean-up process beganabout midnight. Because of thejam. a pipe had oyerflowed in the,icinitv of the elevator. causing itto cease functioning. Consequent-1' rcaidents had to use the stairsfor the most of the evenirng to as-

cend to their rooms. All the rugson the first floor had to be takenup. because they were saturatedwith water. This process itselftook several hours. and at thiswriting, they still have not beenre-laid.

For about a week prior to theflood, some students. many fromBurton House. had been seen,.walking around the Institutegrounds. trailing long lengths ofcomputer tape behind them. andstringing it around trees,buildings. etc. Many people con-sider it likely that these same stu-dents are responsible for theBurton flood.

At the height of the flood, theentire first floor of Burton Ilouseuas ankle-deep in water, and ac-cess was blocked off.

An interesting sidelight to thestory is that while the repairs wereproceeding, signs were posted onthe lavatories asking students toabstain from using them for theduration of the process. One stu-dent nonetheless ignored the sign;used the toilet, and. accordiny toreports. managed to deposit fecaluaste directls on the face of aplumber , orking at the bottom ofthe toilet drain. The comment ofthe unfotrtunate plumber is un-printa ble.

What 'is th rol eofa free press?

BYv William LasserFolowiQ ng last week's editorial decrying Peter Berke's performance

as Undergraduate Association President and my simultaneous explana-tion of the role of a newspaper in the evaluation of public officials andtheir programs, I received a letter from Henry Gardiner '79 taking meto task on one of mv points.

Mr. Gardiner enclosed with his letter a clipping of the column, withthe following words circled: "While THe Tech does not profess to haveall the answers, %k e do have the ability to decide if a particular answer iscorrect or not. That's the role of an active, involved and free press."'

The text of his letter follow~s:"No. no, no"' I challenge you to find that in anyi text about Jour-

nalism.-Ne~wspapers do noi have this ability/'responsibility of deciding right

from wrong. The second you consider yourself cpable of this you haveassumed an inflexible position.

X Nothing Is 'right' or 'wrong" '" Remember, the page is titled 'opinionl- not 'decision.''Mr. Gardiner's point is well taken, although I originally had in-

_I ~~~~~tended to distinguish not betweenl 'opinion' and '*decision" but between

__ | ~~~~criticismz and action- .4 newspaper can__ i ~~~~~criticize, it can critique. even though its_l -! ~~~~editorial board might not be able to do

_ w ~~~~~~better if Jr. the public official's shoes.fi Peter Berke's letter to members of The

_Sr~~~~~~~ech's board of directors is an examzple of_1 S1*;~~~~what w4ould happen if ne,,Aspaper corn-

_-t~~~w rn~entator's were expected to follow_ t L ~~~~through personally on complaints mnade_ _ _ _ ~~~~~against those holding positions of actual

respon-iSF1b~t% Newspapers do not have power in the real sense; the),eon Ininfunce public opinion. the) can bring facts (or, in irresponsiibleactio~ns. non-facts) to the attention of the community, thev can stirothers to action. But it is onev by convincing others that action need betaken that thev can %&ield any authorsiv.

It is rnm fault through imprecise writing that I converted to Mr. Gar-diner and presumably to others the opinion that newvspapers -as dis-tnnouished from others -have the ability and the responsibility, to tellright from wrong. The; do have the righ't and the knowledge, like anytother informed group or citizen, to make a Judgment, even a moral or.- clinical one which involves ''right" and " wrong." The relatio:nship,teen The Tech and undergraduates, or The lNew York Times and

American citizens, is such that the press publishes its opinion, whiletheir readers are expected to form their oun judgments and act on themat the ballot box or through other means available to them.

Thus, when The Tech calls for the impeachment of Peter Biike as we(lid last issue. we are expressing an opinion formed after a serious con-sideration of the issues. We have, in a sense, differentiated a --right-'.,:ourse of action from a -6wrong"' one, But we are not creditingourselves with an ab~ilits- which 4-e dens- to others in an informed posi-ton -evers undergraduate must make up his own mind as to whether

he agrees with us or not. Furthermore, we recognize our responsibilityI,1 publish opposing points of view, and we will gladly print opinion ar-rtile- or letters expressing the aviews oaf others.

W e have not taken an inflexible position by expressing our opinion.If Peter Berke convinces us that we have misjde him, not by wordshut Ad corstructiv~e and positive actions, we will not hesitate in corn-menlding him and rescinding our call for impeachment. Anld if argu-ments is others in disagreemrent with us convinice us that wve are wrong,-*e v-li aidmit our error.

The possibility of our being in disagreement with others or of beingin fact inco3rrect in our judgment should not act as a deterrent to the ex-pression of ouir opinion, as long as we take steps to mninimize the pos-sibili t,, of our being i ncorrect. Tha t is, we have a responsibility to sol icitdifferent points running the editorial. and of making a sincere andreasoned analysis of the issues.

The title of this page is "opinion," not "decision." We can not makedecilsions -we can only recommrend to those who are in a position todetermine policy. Awhether that b~e the students. the faculty, Peter Berkeor anyone else. By listening to us, by considering our opinions, and bsusing our mnedium to tell others how they feel, decision-makers canrerhaps. perform thecir funiction a little better. I don't know, perhapsfacilitating this process is the role and responsibility of anl active, in-* olv;ed and I ree-press .

Geoff SEaskir '78

Editors Note: our dispose withPeter Berke is in our opinionneither petty nor personal,- ourcomplaints against his perfor-mance are sincere and not hased onpersona! disagreeinent~or con fie.

To the Ed~itor:You mav be ticked off bv the

manner in which our UAP sug-gests that you handle conveningthe GA, but I think he makes apoin I. The General Assemblyv hasnot exactly been of overpoweringimportance to .ISIIT students-Even the noblest of efforts bv l~astyear's UAP, Phil MIoore, failed toget more than 25 GA Reps to any,one meeting- Clearly, there are is-sues to be discussed and resolvedby the GA. but how does a UAPget the Reps to show up? Elec-tions for RepreSentattves to theGAi haive not occurred recently,

and when they have, places likeMcCormick have found onlythree candidates ifo seven seats.*The blame lies not with the UAP,but with the collection Of gnurdsthat calls itself a student body.

Not convening the GA is notan, impeachable, offen~e, Of -so,why weren't Starve Wallrnanh andLee Allen impeached when theywere U)AP's? Before you considerimpeachment, ask yourself whoyou want to replace Peter Berkewith. The real problem is thatt-here is. nobody left on. this.camnpus who can fill Phil NMo-ore's

To the Ediror.-I would like to raise some hell

about the Ad Hoc Commnittee ongrading's ridiculous ideas.

1. The poll menac~oed in yourarticle showed that two-thirds ofthe students interested in this is-sue were against the idea of givingthe point spread in the nurd race.In spite of awareness of the stu-dents' attitude to-ward this thecommittee will probably push itthrough, I see an escalation of thetool war with all students afraidto go to a class unarmed withtheir HP's or T's. Moan.

2. 1 could be wrong but I thinkthe history of courses at MfIT thatrequired very odd gradingschemes for one reason oranother would show anyone thatany set of rules on grading wouldhave to be so general as to haveno effect on most gradingprocedures or else they would betoo rigid to handle the wide rangeof grading schemes required.Groan.

3. Grade in lation came aboutbeca use it was expected foreveryone to get high grades inmost of their courses. In largercourses a standard letter ofrecommendation may be expectedin most courses in the future. Theother alternative with thesereports is that the instructors ofeach course know their students'special circumstances and writeout reams of personal characterinformation. Professors -haveenoulgh control over where youstart out in the real world whenyou leave here as it is. Except inspecial circumstances (which youwould probably bring to the at-tention of any prospectiveemployer) your performance in

most of the (largely theoretical)courses here will have little bear-ing on how well you perform as aprofessional. Afso, survival atMIT is a feat in itself which re-quires genius or a lot of sacrifice,and frequently b~oth. I see IMITstraying even Further from alearning institution towards anacid test of its students. Barf.

The present system is badenough as it is. -if you try to con-vince employers of the value ofgrades as an evaltration tool forprospective employees, youshould also make sure that allthose grades are reallymeaningful, and only feeble at-tempts have been made at this.

We should be able to reach ourgoal, particularly if contributionscome in from the many peoplewho last year participated buthave not as yet done so this year. Iam sure that in most cases this is amatter of oversight and I trustthat in the next few days those ofyou who plan tox contribute willdo so.

Since our goal this year ishigher than last year's, we alsomust count upon somewhatbroader participation. I amtherefore writting to ask whetherthose of you who initially did notplan to respond won't reconsiderand makc some contribution, nomatter how small.

By Brian AielloA bill proposed by the House

Committee on Education andWelfare to raise the mandatoryretirement age from 65 to 70could have several effects at MIT.The legislation, which would ef-fect employees of both privateorganizations and state and localgovernments, was proposed as anamendment to the AgeDiscrimination in EmploymentAct of 1967.

Several conflicting views havebeen expressed about the billregarding its application to un-iversity professors. At the presenttime most administrators haveneglected to comment on the bill.Those who favor raising theretirement age to 70 note that theaverage age in the United Stateshas increased and that older peo-pie are more productive now thanthey had been in the past.Therefore, ifa professor over 65 isstill capable of teaching, heshould be able to continueteaching. A problem arises whenan individual is no longerqualified to teach but still wantsto continue working. Whatcriterion should be established tojudge the competence of an olderfaculty mernber?

Another consideration favoringthe increase in retirement age con-cerns social security. With moreprofessors working beyond theage of 65 there would be adecreased need for social security.

According to Jack N, Ray,director of insurance and retire-ment benefits at Indiana Univer-sity, the situation could lead to"economic difficulties" for anyinstitution that had made finan-cial projections based on theretirement of their facultymembers at 65 instead of 70,Many universities might not becapable of paying the high

salaries of senior professors whoin the past would have beenreplaced by younger professors.

Universities are also fearful ofbecoming top heavy with seniorfaculty. which would decrease op-portunities for employment andadvancement among youngerscholars. Dr. Charles Davidson aretired Harvard professor said,"I'm delighted to be retired," ad-ding that it gave him "some in-dependence" which he did nothave as a tenured professor. Healso said he felt that "young peo-ple should be able to obtain aposition" and that people beyondthe mandatory retirement ageshould be able to teach, althoughin a different way. Just as newprofessors have new ideas whichare important, older professorspossess wisdom which has beenaquired through age. However,there must be some point at whichthe university can tell the profes-sor to leave.

Professor of HumanitiesTheodore Wood, Jr. stated that"It would be fine if we weren't re-quired to retire at 65." He notedthat professors were formerlyemployed for half-time at half-pay when they reached the retire-ment age. Although Wood said hefelt this would be great, herealized that it would hurt

tf lv .Mother . tf i Son is a superblyperformed collage of short scenes fromVarious works ranging from novels todrama which successfulix illustrate In theuords of the piay's co-star Viveca Lind-fors, "That most intricate, most intimaterclationship a mother has with her son."

The acting is dazzling. It is miles abovethe standard mediocrity one meets all toooften on screen and stage. Ms. Lindforsand her son. Kristoffer Tabori. wereflawless: their technique was excelilent.The? gae the entire show the feeling oftop-notch professionalism.

The set is well-designed. remaining en-tirels a background to the acting - in-trusiveness being a definite danger in ashow of this sort. The lighting added con-siderablh to the shoew, again never in-truding.

The only flaw in the showv is the script. Itis successful. but not quite as fully as itcould be. It sacrifices too much of itspotential development to pursue its con-centration: the mother-son theme.

The collage is effectively done andproceeds non-stop, with onl\ the slightestof pauses bet.een scenes. Unfortunately.the pieces are sometimes too short. The in-herent difficult\ of a collage presentationwith short. varied pieces is the imprac-ticalit\ of building to an emotional peak.

the proportion jumps to 30 per-cent for those 60 to 64 years ofage. Therefore, it appears that theviews of professors regardingretirement age change as they ap-proach that age. Professors seemto be increasingly less willing toretire as the retirement age drawsnear.

The survey also noted that 60percent of the faculty members inthe 55 to 62 age group said thatthey would respond positively toa measure that would assure themof pension benefits equal to whatthey would be at the mandatoryretirement age. Many also saidthat they would consider retire-ment sooner if assured part-timeemployment with a proportionatedecrease in salary.

In addition to the proposedbill, within the next few weeks theUS Civil Rights Commission isexpected to send Congress itsproposed guidelines for enforcingthe Age Discrimnination Act of1975. The measure provides that"no person in the U.S. shall, onthe basis of age, be excluded fromparticipation in, be denied thebenefits of, or be subjected to dis-crimination under any programor activity receiving federal finan-cial assistance." Congress hasdelayed the enforcement of thisbill until January I, 1979 due tocontroversy.

(Contimned.from page 5)maintain that they will retire fromfull-time academic employmentby age 60. In addition, 11 percentplan to retire between 61 and 63,and 50 percent plan to retirebetween 64 and 66. Only 15 per-cent intend to work fulltime intheir late 60's, and half of thisgroup plan to continue in their

early 70's.These statistics are misleading,

according to the survey. The sur-vey noted that many professors atinstitutions with a compulsoryretirement of 70 planned to con-tinue working full time until their70's. Although 13 percent of theprofessors between ages 50 and 54plan to retire at age 67 or later,

probably "look hard" at endors-ing the Sullivan principles.

These principles, already ac-cepted by Ford, Generai Motors,Mobil and several other large cor-porations. are six guidelines forthe conduct of the companies'South African operations:

"N. Non-segregation of the racesin all eating, comfort and workfacilities.

"2. Equal and fair employmentpractices for all employees.

"3. Equal pay for all employeesdoing equal or comparable workfor the same period of time.

-4. Initiation of and develop-rnent of training programs thatwill prepare, in substantialnumbers, blacks and other non-whites for supervisory, ad-ministrative, clerical andtechnical jobs.

"5. Increasing the number ofblacks and other nonwhites inmanagement and supervisorypositions.

"6. Improving the quality ofemployees' lives outside the workenvironment in such areas ashousing, transportation, school-ing, recreation and healthfacilities."

Milne said "I sense some feel-ing in the [Shareholder Respon-siblity] Committee that the Sul-livan principles are sensible prin-ciples."

The group "has believed in thepast that the United States cor-porate presence in South Africais, in balance, a good thing," aslong as the companies follow af-firmative action policies, Milnenoted.

The SRC has believed thatmost companies have had goodprograms in this area, he said, butadded that it is uncertain whetherit will continue to feel that wav.

Milne said that the groupwould make no recommendationuntil its corporation surveyresults are received.

The lack of public protest atMIT is not duplicated on othercampuses. Several rallies have

been held at Brandeis where 1,300students signed a petition re-questing divestment.

Petitions have also been cir-culated at Harvard, which has in-vestments totalling over $400 mnil-lion in companies doing businessin South Africa.

At Wellesley students formedan ad hoc committee to protestthe college's South Africanholdings and staged a rally and apetition drive. The group metwith Wellesley's equivalent of theSRC to demand an answer to theprotest within a week and divest-ment within one month, the ad-ministration responded by form-ing a committee to look into theissue. Another rally was heldyesterday evening.

(The Police Blotter is a reportwritten by the Campus Patrol oncrimes, incidents; and actions onthe MIT canmpU each week.)

Thief surrendersFast action by a resident of

Ashdown House resulted recentlyin the capture and arrest of asuspect allegedly involved in thelarceny of the student's Seikowatch valued at well over Sl00.'

When the student returned tohis room in the early evening. hediscovered a stranger rifling hispersonal personal property. Onseeing the student. the strangerbolted from the room and randown the hall, dropping the stu-dent's watch as he fled. The stu-dent gave chase, and the pairraced along the corridor anddown a stairwell. With his pur-suer hot on his heels, the panick-ing thief plunged downward tothe basement. There he was cor-nered by the student, an in-dividual well schooled in the mar-tial arts, who made his quarry un-derstand that, discretion being thebetter part of valor. his wisest op-tion was to surrender. Arrivingmoments later, the first officer onthe scene took the suspect intocustody.

At his arraignment the follow-.ing morning on a charge of Grand

Larceny, it was determined thatthe suspect was already serving asentence at the Deer Island Houseof Correction. . As part of aprisoners' "pre-release" programhe had been serving his sentenceof late at a halfway house inBoston. With his halfway houseprivilege now revoked. he is cur-rently back at the House of Cor-rection. Trial, of the GrandLarceny charge has beenscheduled for mid-December.

Typewriter stolenA man previously sought by the

Campus Police appeared Mondayat a Sloan School area buildingwhere, by passing himself offfalsely as a custodian, hemanaged to steal an IBMSelectric typewriter. The suspect,who carried a plastic trash bagand gave ready answers to onestaff member who questionedhim, fled the area when anotherstaffer challenged his lack of aphoto-ID badge. but not beforehe successfully removed thetypewriter from the building.

McCormick larcenyResidents of McCormick Hall

reported the theft Friday eveningof a calculator, a taperecorder/radio, and a televisionfrom a suite that had been left un-

locked and unoccupied. A subse-quent search of the dorm under-taken by several students turnedup the television, which had beensecreted elsewhere in the building.

from its parking place in front of18 Vassar Sreet on Tuesday. Alsotaken Tuesday was a 1965 BuickSkylark, taken from the Tang lot.Taken last Saturday from En-dicott Street was a green 1968Dodge Van.

By H. 6. WeedLast Saturday night the MIT

men's Varsity Basketball teamopened the season w-ith a dis-appointing 70-68 loss to BrooklynCollege. In their second game ofthe season this Waednesday theBeavers sho,,ed considerableimprosement in a 97-70 loss tothe pockerful Judges of BrandeisU niversitN

in the beginning of the firstgamec MIMr showed good ball con-trol and jumped to an eariv lead.But a Ilack of offense by theBea-ers enabled the BrooklynCollege Kinasmen to gain controland maintain the lead for the restof the gamne.

Howesver. there were a fewbright spots for N11IT. A. 22 point.I i for 14 performance b' teamcaptain Rick Van Etten 78 isrealy whai kept N1IT in the game.

And an aggressive full-court pressby the Beavers at the end of thegame-cut the Kingsmen lead toone point. Do- n by one. with 24seconds on the clock MIT was un-able Io score a basket. therebyhanding the game to Brooklyn.

In the game against BrandeisMI1T showed much more poiseand aggressiveness and this timereceived a superlative perfor-mance from sophomore RayNagern. Nager m with 30 pointsand tremendous hustle sparkedboth the Beaver offense anddefense. Unfortunately. Brandeis'avesome front court and depthenabled them to win the game.

Tomorrow night 1MIT's steadi-ly improving team will take onTrinit> College in what promisesto be an exciting game. TheJunior Varsit} begins play at6:1 5prn and the Varsity game is at

8:00pni. By Drew BlakemanFootball fans tend to go wild

when it comes to their favoriteteams, but some take things muchtoo seriously. L.ast Sunday, oneperson was killed and two othersinjured in a barroom brawl inDenver. It seems that these threewanted to play the jukebox at thesame time the Broncos-Coltsgame was being aired, and anirate Broncos rooter shot at them.What some football fans won't doto see their favorite teams play.This week's predictions are:

Denver 27. Houston 10Hopefully no one will be killedbecause of this game, but theOilers will feel as if they havebeen.

Minnesota 16; San Francisco 7- The Vikings are praying for

snow. Lately, they've needed allthe help theV can get.

Cleveland 22. San Diego 13 -The Browns are going to bounceback in a big way after being shutout last week.

New Orleans 38, Ne Y'ork Jets

35 - Even though this game isabsolutely meaningless. it stilloueht to .be wild.

Detroit 10, Green Bay 6 -Crunch' They don't call this the"Black-and-Blu- Division" fornothing.

Cincinnati 17, Kansas City 0-The Bengals have to tune up fortheir upcoming clash with theSteelers.

Dallas 17, Philadelphia 12-The struggling Cowboys willclinch the N'FC East title with avictory here.

Washington 13, Buffalo 3 -The only thing saving theRedskins this season is theirtenacious defense; their offense isvirtually non-existent.

Pittsburgh 27, Seattle 14 - TheSteelers are now in sole posses-sion of first place in the AFCCentral.

St. Louis 23. New York Giants17 - Just a few w~eeks ago, whowould have believed that the Car-dinals would be in any position tovault into the playoffs?

Atlanta 17, New England 16-Both teams need to win this onein order to stay alive for a chanceat post-season play.

Chicago 44, Tamps Bay l0-Walter Payton will run circlesaround a confused Buccaneersecondary.

Oakland 31, Los Angeles 7Who would have thought that theRaiders would have to fight tomake the playoffs?

Miami 37. Baltimore 34 - Thiswill be one heiluva Monday nightgarne, with first place in the AFCEast at stake.

Phil Zylberman':). the I MI hocke> manager noted that "if someonecan hit hard he can play football. but you can't learnto skate weil overnight."

When asked about the possibility of havingformed an independent and a living group A-league.Zviberman said that Dan Bovarnick (this year'sreferee evaluator and last year's manager) had men-tioned the possibility to him during the fall but toolate for anything 'to be done about it. He added.however. that he would recommend to his successorto look into that option.

Although hockey scheduling is already in troubledue to the lost twenty games, Zylbernan says that"if it's a very long winter there will be playoffs."Last year featured one of the best-run playoffs in re-cent memorv with teams in all leagues competing fortheir respective championships. He added that "Asfar as games go. games will not be called off unlessPhysical Plant says that the ice cannot be used."
