Meal tax ruled applicable to coll_ege~ by S.B. Fme

The tax commissioner of Massachusetts has recemty made a ruling that all insti· tutions in Massachusetts who serve meals must pay the 8 per cent meal tax. This ruling includes private colleges. President Henard as president of ACM is leading the fight against this ruling. Three colleges Including Holy Cross are filing for an in· junction to stop the collecting. A Judge Lynch who has already rejected one college court appeal is again presiding over the court activities ..

Also as of November 19, 8 per cent tax will be charged on all meals less than a dollar. This has two Implications tor WPI students. Most of the meals bought at the snack bar cost less than a dollar. This means students who eat at the snack bar

who never had to pay tax before will now have to pay it. Thus the lines will be slower because of cashiers groping with unac­customed tax charges, and because of a shortage of change which has been widespreak in the country for a couple of years.

But the people who buy at the aneck bar will not be the only people affected by the new tax. Previously the WPI food service evaluated breakfast as less than a dollar thus saving students tax on one meal. Now breakfast will have an 8 per cent tax on It just like the other meals.

WPI students on ttle meal plan will soon be receiving a bill tor the tax. David Lloyld vice-president in charge of business for WPI said he would appreciate if all students

would make an effort to get the bill paid as soon as possible. WPI has to pay a total of $20,000 in meal taxes to the state. Prompt payment of the bill will help the school ease the burden. The meal tax for terms Cand 0 will be included in the bills.

Norman Rossi, heed of the food service has calcualted that the 731 students on the meal plan, some paying $860 for the seven day plan and some paying $765 for the ftve day plan, would have paid over $48,000 if they had been paying the tax from the beginning of term A. The snack bar which grosses about $300 a day would pay $3,600 in taxes for the thirty weeks that school Is in session and for only five days a week.

But there are even two more aspects to the problem. First the state run schools are

trymg to evade paymg the tax by seeki an exemption. They argue that they 1

state owned and are therefore exempt fr< paying taxes. President Hazzard thinks tt tf the state schools win this exemptton will be a great blow to t~Verv private colla in this state.

Also there is a question of how far t tax covers. Do fraternities who serve rna hava to pay the tax? For that reason public elementary and high school5 have pay the tax? They qualify under t category of serving meals. These l

questions the state is going to have answer. In anyone wishes to fight the l'lll tax, write your state representati¥1l a senator and keep writing until he is foro to do something.

Social committee vote now, it's your money by !Jean Brown

With the Social Chairman elections upon us in a few weeb, I think a number of things should be made clear about the history of the social fee, the responsibilitiee of the social chairman, and the general phlloeophy of programming activitlee for the WPI campus community.

When the social fee wu voted by the student body about eight years ago (presently $30.00-yearl it was because of a combination of things. Thera w• not enough fundi for the students to spon80r their Junior Prom Weekend; there were few if any films, and hardly any lm811 concerti for the coffeehou•; and finelfy, the Peddler was running a deficit and unless funding was provided, the yearbook would cease.

From that period of time to the preeent the social fee has broedened to include aH kinds of programa for all kinds of mueic t11te1. Films, both foreign and American, big weekend concerts. a fine an. program, and many Isolated events for both the WP.I and the Worce.tlf community.

If students era to understand the social program et WPI, he- she must re.llze that the direction in which the funds are apent depet Ids a greet dMI on the perticular individual or indivlduall who are elected to the social chairman poehion.

Besides the planning or selecting of these programs there are many other arees of responsibility that the social chairman must assume. I'd litce to just mention some of what It involved during a big concert weekend.

Contracts must be reviewed for all concerts so that the social chllrman may become familiar with all requirements whether they be staging, lighting or aound riders. The hall must be readied for 1 concert whether it be in Alden or Harring­ton. For Harrington, this mee.-. locating students to help set up the atage, chairs, and the floor covering. Students must be provided for unloading equipment tor the performers sound and then loedlng It after the concert. Clean up and bre.kdown afterwarct. must also be completed, not to mention student MCUrity inside end outside of the building. ticltet ....,.., and publicity on and off of the campus. The point here ia that it ila ful time extra-currlcullr ICtMty and cannot be done alone.

Editorials: EWSPEAK is back

No - what you're holding in your hands is not the "New 'ewspeak' ' , really. It's my attempt to bring back the much needed ommunication medium on Campus. Some things have changed, thers haven't. They may change eventually, but that will come in time. or now suffice to say all our problems are not solved, but we are onfident that we will solve them. The one thing we still need, and ways need, is· active support from the WPl community. We need rriters, 'make-up staff. and just plain interested people. The real thing 1at ~eeps any organization alive is psyche, and, we want to see some om everybody. As for the changes In the paper - there are several. We have had to

eal with a third resignation since the last issue of Newspeak, namely 1at of Neal Wright, our farner News-Features Editor. His other com­litments prevent him from now being able to perform his duties as he as done is the past. His services will be missed by the staff. We are )rtunate that Toby Gouker, the past associate News-Features Editor, as stayed on and is now the News-Features Editor. His experience and ositive attitude are a plus this paper really needs. We also have a core aff of writers who are trying their damnest to get some student­:merated material for this paper. There is also a small but capable ake-up staff who help to make an impossible task possible. This paper a lot more work than most people realize, and anything that anyone

:>es for it makes the job a little easier for everybody involved. Our biggest problem at the present time is that lack of a Graphics

jitor, the position previously filled by Pete Mulvihill. This position takes ore time than most any other position on the staff. At the present time ost of this work is being done by myself, and some by the remaining embers of the layout staff. This problem is not likely to be solved •on, but something eventually must be done. At the very least, a larger yout staff might help things - but they will not be able to take over all

the duties of the Graphics Editor. As for "new" features, there are some of those, too. We will have

from no~ on, as a regular p~rt of Newspeak, a projects page containing all matenal on campus proJeCts submitted to us each week. Another feature in the works is an arts page, containing reviews and previews of fil~~· plays, art exhibits, and other related areas. We are building an arts wntmg staff under the direction of John Wallace, and hope to see more faces soon. The rest of Newspeak remains basically the same and probably will. The only thing that has to change is the involvem~nt of the WPI community in this newspaper. With it's support, the student newspaper of Worcester Polytechnic Institute is here to stay. Without it - well, that is left up to your imagination. All I will say is that to get where we are from where we were at the end of A-term took a lo·t of tim~ and hard work by about 25 people, and it probably won't happen agam.

So- Newspeak is back. But for how long depends on YOU. Not the guy next to you ... You. My office is open. Let's see how many people come in.

Letter·: Corruption on campus

This college campus as well as many other college campuses Is a place where wickedness and ungodliness prevails. You don't have to be a spiritual giant to recognize this!

Just look at the posters posted throughout the campus. Practically every night there is a party going on someplace. The posters tor these parties repeatedly advertise liquor. The Bible states in ISAISH 5:2D-23 'WOfJ unto them who call evil, good, and good, evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their owo sightl Woe unto them wh~ are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink: Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from hirni" These verses condemn what is advertised on these posters!

But it is not hard to know what else goes on at these parties, when you consider what the Bible says about the heart of man. In MARK 7:20-21 "For from within, out of the heartS of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornicallons, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evtl eye. blasphemy, pride, foolishness." Man is not basically good! For out of man comes fornications, wickedness, deceit, covetousness and evil thoughts. These plus much more go on at these parties.

Even though God condemns liquor, there is a priest from the campus religious center, who Is offering a bartending coursing during intercession. Not only is this an abomination in the eyes of The Almighty Lord God of heaven - I wonder what he Is teaching his church? 1 would deductively believe he is not teaching them the Gospel of Christ. This priest and other priests of apostate churches sould exactly like the Pharisees that ChFist spoke of in MAT­THEW 23:13,15 which states: "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye neither go in yourselves, neither permit them that are entering to go ln. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

In addition to party posters there have been posters for homosexuals, and an article on such In Newspeak. In Romans 1:24-32 the Bible states: "Wherefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves, Who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did exchange the natural use for that which is against nature; And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, bumed in their lust toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompeqse of their error "which was

fining. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not unseemly, Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy. murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters. Inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents; Without understanding, covenant b·eakers, without natural affection, implacable. unmerciful; Who, knowing the judgment of God, that

· they who commit such things ara worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in tt'lem that do them." Homosel(uality is condemnad by God, in the Word of God, the Bible . .'

Many people on this campus use the name of Jesus Christ as a curse word. In Exodus 20:7 the Bible states: "Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will net hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." In other words this is saying we are going to have to account for using Jesus Christ's name in vain. He is not going to just let it ride.

People do not want to t~ke the Bible literally because it exposes and condemns their sins. The Bible states in 2 TIMOTHY 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, shall "they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall tum away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Priests and ministers o1 apostate churches are teaching that the Bible cannot be taken literally because they do not want to believe the fact that the Bible exposes and con­demns their sins. They make things comfortable for themselves, denying there is wrath of God by saying the Bible Is not to be taken literally. The Bible states In GALATIANS 6·7 "Be not deceived, God Is not mocked, for whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap.'' '

Ah Friend, you may be a vile wicked person or you may be baptised. often receiving "holy communion, doing many good humanitarian deeds; but unless you are saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, you will go to hell. In JOHN 3:16-18 the Bible states: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth In him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but trat the world, til rough him mtght be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not Is condemned already, because he hath not · believed In the name of the only begotten Son of God." Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven; there is no other way. Go to Him, recognizing that you are a lost sinner, I am willing to repent of my sin, I know that I cannot save mv-ff, and that You are the only way to heaven. Come Into my "-rt and save my soul." In you mean that with all your heart, then Christ will save your soul. And if you have asked Christ to ave your soul, pleaee won't you let me know, eo I can show you from God's Word that you are saved.

Letters: Thank you To the Editors:

As a former candidate for the office of Freshmen Class Presiderh. there are a few things I'd like to say before I fade away.

First, in the letter I sent to over five hundred Freshmen and Freshwomen, I stated that the Class doesn't get money directly from the school. Thie Ia wrong. After I had sent the letters, my RA told me that the Student Activities Board does give some funds to each class. I apologize for my mistake.

• • • Secondly, there 1s the maner of thank­

yous. I would like to .thank everyone who supported me, especially my roommlua and the people on Daniel's third. There are, ot course, many others though. To thost~ of you who voted for me: thank you. I only hope that I can get to know you before we leave W .P.I.

Finally, I wish the best of luck to all of the class officers and to the Class of 1979 Itself.

Thank you, Sincerely, John L. Meader.

• • • and good-bye To the Edttore:

Now that I have the opportunity to submit articles to Newspeak I previous to which I had pertinent information, but the lack of a paper to submit them), many things have come and gone; and it would be piffle to bring up old topics.

However, I must at least say that it is a fine thing to have Newspeak back in running order. It seems to happen just in time for the people who shall be running for Social Committee chairpersons. That's right folks! Yours truly and Rusty will be leaving office at the end of thiS term and at least one lutky person will be able to have the chance to receive all the crap and apathy that abounds our campus. Believe me, it has ,been no joy ride, but I do not regret taking office; and I thank all of you, once again, for putting us there. Even if for only two terms. (I wonder if you could have taken us any longer than that)!

Whi:d I have the opportunity in this article, I would like to mention a couple of facts that have destroyed cenain things around here. I am trying to restrain myself now from using dirty language to say what I have to say, but I think I will anyway.

There are some people on this campus, I do not know who, or how many they are, but God help them if we ever fine out. These people are the g-d-···, •--h----. f-­---. a----.. who keep on ripping down all our publicity posters the day they are put up. These idiots have no minds at a1U- I would like to oersonallv maim every f-· one of them! I'm sure Bernie and Rusty agree with me. !hese oreepa screw everything up for us, and all of you.

There have been many instances of ripp1ng of! publicity! And all I hear from everybody is that they did not know that such and such an act. or ita price, had happened. and why we didn't publicize more. Now you know why.

I think we should institute a bounty system to capture these animals and free tickets be paid in r~tum from dismembered criminals. Can' t these people walt till after the production to take the posters? Is that JUSt too hard to do77

Well, now that I have gotten that out of my system, I think I shall smoke another cigarene. But, before I light up, I want to thank everybody who has gotten involved (positive involvement, I mean), and I hope that many more follow in your footsteps.

Marshall Kaplan returns To the Editors:

In his correspondence with Newspe11k, the writer has been trying to reveal the tragic path WPI is now on. The Plan, a political expedient and fiscal panacea, is actually destroying a great institution of higher Ieeming. The Plan vitiates the standards In order to make WPI accessible, to a wider range of peoples. Oblivious to the fact that intrinsically scholarship is elitist in nature and therefore demands discrimination, the Plan is apening the gates to all. Merit Is being discounted. For the sake of expansion, the Plan is sacrificing O'ller 100 years of specialization In technical education at a time when mankind is just beginning to realize the unbounded potential of technology. Just when WPI's contribution to and influence in America and the world could be ac· celerated by leaps and bounds because of its position 88 an institution completely concentrating in technical education, it is directing its energies in the opposite direction. What else can it be but pure

folly? At best the expansion will transform WPI into another Tufts University. By introducing pre-cooked, pre-recorded educatiort, the Plan is eliminating the most exhilirating part of education·encounter. What student who was privileged enough to study under great educators like Or. Bridgman and Dr. Heller could ever forget their sublime energies? To have been in their presence was an honor and always will be an inspiration. With all its electronic gismos, WPI is becoming a classic example of misguided technology.

Very plainly the Plan is an obvious manifestation of the unbridled and heathenish libertarianism now rampant throughout America and the world.

After much reflection, the writer can only perceive of the Plan as a cancer; a cancer which will eventually destroy a great in­stitution of higher learning.

Realizing the gravity and the implications of his words, the writer submits them witn the utmost hum11ity.

Salvation or hell? To the Editors:

I send thla knowing that moat likely this lener will not get published. However, my Intention is the same as Scottish Bishop Gordon Gray's words: " I cannot view the state of people outside tha Church with exc8$sive optimism, since only In the Catholic Church can be found both fullnea of truth and the means neceaery to salvation ... It il not right to leave the pagans to their good faith, nor to consider the other religions and the other churches as more or less equivalent to the Catholic Church."

I have discovered that if I argue with a person long enough, the argument always leads to this question, "Can I be saved in any church?" I tell them the same as I'm telling you now: "No one can be saved except in the Catholic Church."

This dogma is evidently not an easy doctrine to hold and defend, B~p«ially to non-Catholict. In these modem times, very few people even want to talk about it, and, even more, there Ia ssrong evidence of the existence of an official, though never avowed, policy of suppreujng it.

A dogma is an infellil* truth, and thele moat solemn words of the Popea is binding upon the conscience of everyone. The "no salvation" dogma has been defined a• ex csth#ldra; In other words the Pope cannot err in this statement. This doctrine has been defined 1n three stages, making eech pronouncement more definite and more em'phatlc than the one before it •

Ex Csthedra.· "There is but one universal Church ot the faithful. outside of which no

Ex C11thttdra: " The meet Holy R0m1n Church firmly believes, profeaes, and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that chey will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angeli, unl818 before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this eccleaiatlcal body that only thoee remaining within this unity can profit by the sacramenta of the Chtlrch unto ulvation, and they alone can receive en etemel recompense for their fasts, their alms· giving, their other works of Christian piety and the dutlee of a Christian .oldler.

Vegetarians unite To the Editors:

There are some misconceptions about the vegetarian movement. A vegetarian eats no meat or fish, believing that the eating of animals is killing us, or the ~tnimals, or the starving elsewhere, or all 3.

Meat has been named the no 1 cause of cancer, for many reasons. Carcinogenic female hormones are given tu animals. Cancer causing sodium nitrate makes meat red in color. Dead flesh has many times more insecticide concentrated in it than fruits and vegetables because an animal concentrates DDT, dieldrin, chlordane, etc. In his tissues. The average meateater's heartbeat is 72 per minute, vs 68 for a vegetarian. The bacteria in meat (a dead animal) can number as high aa 2 billion P4'f ounce causing 97 per cent of the food poisoning fatalities vearly.

The meeting was closed at 9:40 p.m.

Election results Last Wednesday elections were held for

the Dormitory Hearing Board. The turnout was something less than spectacular but enough to elect the following people:

John Hopkins, Jr., Daniels Hall; Newell Stamm, Ellsworth-Fuller; Keith Laird, Morgan Hall; GOI'don Walton Ill, Stoddard.

The above-stated students won because they filed a petition with me before the stated deadline. The constitution of W .P.I. Campus Judicial System states that candidates must submit a petition of 25 signatures of rllidents of hie dormitory to the president of the dormitO!'Y committee prior to the election. Therefore no write-in candidates could win.

Since no one from Riley submitted a petition on time, Riley will use the floor representatives from the Internal residence hall committee when needed for a hearing.

PIMELL learning labs Increased involvement 1n prOJect activity

and independent study as a major vehicle for learning at WPI under the WPI PLAN has increased the need for prov1ding some form of instrumentation and measurement support. PROJECT INSTRUMENTATION and MEASUREMENTS EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING LABORATORY IPIMELLI has been imtiated at WPI to satisfy this need. PIMELL essentially consists of a series of LEARNING LAB MODULES spec1fically designed to support your project and In· dependent study ect1vity. Each LEARNING LAB MODULE has its designated area in an "open" laboratory where you can come to obtain information, l)factice using in· struments and equipment, make measurements and, eventually, select that method and mstrument consittent with your pro;ect or independent study activity. All LEARNING Is PROGRAMMED, SELF­PACED, and " HANDS ON" with heavy reliance on the use of videotape.

The use of LEARNING LAB MODULES is not limited to instrumentation and measurements. A need also exiats for better and more economical methods of providing a means for you to learn on your own how to use equipment such as the TR·

20 Analog Computer, the oscnto.cope, and to learn good soldering techniques and how to write a professional report. A list of LEARNING LAB MODULES currently available is given below.

If you are interested in utnizing any one of the LEARNING LAB MODULES you may do so by contacting Prof. Kenneth E. Scott, Prof. Steven A. Hunter or Mr. Herman H. Dumas in H1ggins or Prof. Robert Long, II or Mr. Paul A . Tilander in Olin as noted below:

Prof. Kenneth E. Scott, HL-15, Ext. 220; Prof. Steven A . Hunter, HL· 114, EJct. 506; Mr. Herman H. Dumas, TV Studio, Ext. 220; Prof. Robert long II, OH-127, Ext. 249: Mr. Paul A . Tilander, OH·109, ExL 256.

When you finish using any of the LEARNING LAB MODULES you will be requested to fill out an evaluation sheet thereby helping us to Improve and expand this type of support for project activities.

The PIMELL concept should provide you With the oppO(tunity at a time of your choosing to obtain the knowledge and skills required to meet the challenge of in­creasing emphasis on project and In­dependent study ectivity at WPI.

Opinion

Udall's position Morris Udall1s a 53 year old congressman

from Arizona who is seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Udall is the chairman of the House Sub-committee on Energy and Environmental Affa1rs. He has assembled a IDiOag record in the house on issues concerning environmental and consumer protection and woman's nghts.

Udall thinks that we need a strong, lean military establishment prepared to defend the national interests however they may be threatened. But we do not need needlessly gold plated and extravagant weapons such as the 8 ·1 Bomber. the Trident-missile submarine, a new STOL transport or a new tank.

Udall supports the ERA and has used what influence he has on state decisions to urge ratification there.

In recent years many city and state governments have been forced to their knees. Udall behaves that it is time that the federal government shouldered the responsibility for the consequenses of national decis1ons. He thinks the federal government should undertake a program of emergency aid to cities And states. It should also take over welfare and medicare costs. The federal government should guarantee coverage of the debt of local governments where it is satisfied that the budget is balanced and that adequate revenues are segregated for debt repayment.

On energy and environmental affairs, Udall has authored numerous pieces of conservation legislation, Including the

recently vetoed bill to regulate str1p mining. He has been 1n the forefront of the en· vironmental movement smce his elect1on to congress m 1961 .

:o cope with the energy crisis, Udall behaves that we must concentrate on buildmg mass transit systems, developing solar energy and recycling our wastes.

He believes that the power or the big oil compames should be broken. The anti· competitive trend in the oil ind~·stry is producing outrageous profi1 without regard to the American consumer.

Udall feels that by addressing the problems underlying school desegregation and a lack of quality •educauon - rather that the judicial remed1es - we can reduce the needs for those remedies. Communities should be given the means and the In­

centives to develop alternative solut1ons with full participation for all minorities. Most importantly. the run-down, inferior schools so common in low income neigh­borhoods, white as well as black and brown, would be given the resources to offer a quality education.

Morris Udall has stated his record and positions on vital issues confronting America today. A few of these pos1tions have been outlined above. If you have any questions about Morris Udall or would like to work on his campaign please contact John Zimmerman at 752-9fi77. Stoddard 8101. There will be a meeting Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. 1n the Wedge w1th the Udall co­ordinators for Worcester.

Students lack reading skills (CPS) - The word is out to college

textbook publishers that today's students don' t have the reading skills they once did and traditional textbooks are frequently beyond their grasp.

" The abstractions, the difficulties of reading specific words and understanding the meanings of such words bore many of our students," Queensborough College basic education skills department chairman Paul Panes explained, "and they don't get as much out of college as they should.

·•we find students are entering our colleges lboth rwo-and four-year in­stitutions) with reading levels way below the level needed to master college text­books that traditionally havE! been written and prepared for college," Pane said.

Publishers claim that In recent years word has been coming back from cam­puses, particularly rwo-year community colleges and urban institutions, that their books are "too hard'' for students. But textbooks for two-year schools and urban anstitut1ons probably w\ln't be any different from four-year colleges where remedial reading courses are on the upswing.

College administrators even at four-year 1nstituuons admit that today's college students are not as adept at reading and writing English as they once were. " Students today are more verbal," said Winston Ooby, UCLA director of academic programs. " They don' t read They don't have the wntten skills they once did. They're TV educated."

Some English teachers at the University of California have reported students 10 their freshman English classes who were not prof1c1ent in the fundamentals of grammar The remedial English or Subject A supervisor claimed that this " illiteracy'' was a " cultural problem, as students in an electronic society have linle chance to acquire reading-writing skills."

Other factors have influenced the decreased reading levels at colleges. More people who wouldn't have gone to college 10 or 20 years ago are now enrolling, especially in two-year institutions. And according to one publisher, community colleges are reporting a decrease in reading-level. " We have had reports of some of these students reading at a sixth­grade level," an editor at John Wiley & Sons said.

Publishers are now using readability formulas to determine the difficulty of a textbook's language. These scales measure the sentence structure and number of words 10 a sentence and subtract for polysyllabic words. According to an article in a recent "Annals of the Academy of Political and Social Science," "1f a book is to sell well in the large junior college market, it must not score higher than 11th to 13th grade on such tests."

Traditional college texts, according to the Annals article, "are often tedious af­fairs, poorly written, visually unattractive and several years out of date when they ara published." Textbook publishers, now feeling a decline in business, are attempting to correct these problems while increasing the readability of the books.

Chapter formats are being more carefully drawn up with well-placed headings and subtitles, eas1er- to- read type faces and lists of new terms at the ends of chapters. Repetition of themes anc soecific terms Is emphasized and J.ewer abstractions are used.

But the textbook publisher's loss of business is not due to less use of texts by instructors, as some academic1ans would like to believe. A 1974 survey done for the American Association of American Publishers showed that the textbook was still the primary teaching tool of the college level with 81 per cent of college instructors using one in their undergraduate courses.

lntersession no-shows by Paul Klinkman

In past years 30 per cent of the students registered for lntersess1on didn' t show up for at least one course for which they were registered. The same figure is expected for this year.

Some students don t know whether they'll be at school. working, or off sli1ing during lntersession. Others know they won't be at school but JUSt don't bother to drop the courses. This doesn't make sense but a lot of students do it. To compensate for the absentees, Hemet Kay of the ln­tersession office has to overfill courses The smallest courses sometimes come out quite underfilled or over filled.

lntersesslon courses can be dropped at the Reg1strar's office between 9:00 and

4·00. Dropping or add1ng an lntersession course 1s nothing like adding a regular course; only one slip has to be filled out and there's no runaround. A student should see the 1ntersession office every week 1f a course that he·she wants is closed now. Courses often open up later in the term. A current list of open courses is kept posted on the wall outside the lntersession office door.

Harriet Kay is in charge of lntersession registration. Her office hours are from 9:00 to 1:00 every day In Boynton 305 Hamet will also accept notes slipped under the door of the lntersession office or ma1led to her. The telephone extension of the In· tersession office is k533.

'76 speaker needed Nominations for the 1976 Com·

On Projects:

The Washington Project Center Since the inception of WPI ' s

Washington Project Center. this countrv has seen two presidents. three vice­presidents, and a wide variety of cabinet officers and special prosecutors shuffle through the capital. More than 100 WPI students have shuffled with them, for­tunately for different reasons.

Since the Washington Center began operation in the fall of 1974. students have produced reports on such topics as the use of coal as-an alternative source of energy for industry, locating energy related facilities in coastal zones. and the effect of air pollution abatement regulations on electric public utilities.

The topics of the Washington projects have covered a wide range. So do the agencies for which the reports were done - from private groups such as the National Association of Manufacturers to public groups lit<e the President's Council on Environmental Quality.

The Washington Center operated all four terms last year and will operate A and B terms this year. Planning is now underway for 1976-n with the possibility the center may return to operating all four terms. That decision Is dependent chiefly on the number of applicants for the program. Students interested in Washington have been asked to fill out a priority application form and return it to the lOP Center by Dec. 1. Submitting this form gives a student priority in the student selection process over those students who do not apply until after Dec. 1. Once It is known how many students are interested In Washington for next year, a decision can be made on how many terms the Center will operate.

An Informal informational meeting will be held at 4 p.m., Nov. 24 in the lOP Center conference room to answer questions on the Washington project center. Students and faculty who have been to Washington will be on hand to discuss the program. Anyone who is thinking about Washington, whether he has submitted an application form or not, should attend this meeting. Perhaps it will help sway those students who are undecided about the program.

Wll$hington, 1975 This veer about 40 students will complete

their lOPs in Washington. Students and faculty advisers are livlng in the Hampshire Towers, a pleasant apartment building not far from the more famous Wat8fgate aPI'(tment complex. Board in Hampshire Towers costs about the same as board in

-- ,....._

u

Morgan or Daniels halls. Students do their own cooking. The apartments are furnished and linen and cooking utensils are provided.

Nineteen students completed project work in term A under professors Allen Benjamin of the Civil Engineering Department and Willy Eggimann of the Electrical Engineering Department. This term 21 students are doing projects under professors Roy Bourgault of the Mechanical Engineering Department and leon Graubard of the Social Science and Policy Studies Department.

Wh.tt Does Washing ron Offer? Student reaction to the Washington

experience has been overwhelmingly favorable. Barrv Tarr calls it "my best experience In four years of college," and John Griffiths says the program "could be the best seven weeks of your four years at WPI."

The advantages of the Washington program are enormous. Students at the D.C. project center are able to concentrate their efforts on a single project for seven weeks. There are no courMS to worrv about; just the single project. In that regard, the program gives students a taste of the real world. Students work a normal 40-hour week with their sponsoring agencies. Toward the end of the term as the project report comes due. it is not unusual that students may be putting in substantially more than 40 hours a week. Says John Griffiths, "When you work with an agency you find out what the real worid is like. This experience will definitely help you reform your future career plans. You will either find it interesting and exciting or a bureaucratic mess or both. In any event you may discover how things get done in govern­ment. This should be the most worthwhile part of your experience."

Washington offers a multitude of op­portunities that Worcester does not. Washington is the world's largest data bank. If information on a particular subject exists, it exists somewhere in Washington. A large part of the Washington experience is learning what sort of dats is needed and where it can be found. Washington also offers a superb selection of restaurants (senior Val Danos notes there are restaurants to fit all tastes,) bars, clubs and cultural centers such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Immersing oneself in the culture of Washington is also a part of the proj.~et center experience.

TERM B GRAD COURSE BOOKS

As in the past, the Bookstore has but little information as to numbers of Graduate Students planning to take TERM B GRAD COURSES.

It is suggested that you can better assure yourself of having required texts for GRAD COURSES by "signing-up" at the Bookstore.

There are aspects of hfe in Washmgton that cannot be found elsewhere. Val Danos describes a feeling of "tension" in the air at moments of great stress in the nation's capital. Val describes two such occasions during his stay in the capital, once when President Ford granted a pardon to former president Nixon and another the day after the mighty Wilbur Mills' late night escapade with stripper Fanne Foxe ended unceremoniously with a swim in the lidal Basin. With 1976 a presidential election year, tension In Washington should reach new levels.

While most students find Washington an interesting city, not all students fall in love with the place. Paul Grogan describes the capital as a "fast-paced metropolis where people behaved more like robots than human beings." Still, Paul says he is greteful for the experience of being ex­posed to a different type of environment. "This opportunity to observe oneself in a different situation, in addition to the great academic opportunities, is an important aspect of any educational experience in Washington," he says.

What Type of Student Picks Washington?

Washington is an intensive educational experience. It is not for everv student. but as the WPI Plan fosters a breed of student ·who is more independent and more willing to grabble intellectually with complex social issues, Washington may become the focal point of lOP activity for increasing numbers of students.

Recycle America is in trouble! As any school child

knows, there Is a fuel and lubricating oil crisis. BOLD, FRESH, NEW Ideas are critically needed to help solve this problem.

One approach is to study ways of more effectively conserving our limited supply. What would be the feasibility of instituting a nationwide recycling program for reusing lubricating oil from automobiles as s potentl.tl fuel sourCll? Or, would it be possible to reprocess waste automobile oil rendering it, once again, suitable for use 8s 8 lubricating oil?

A detsiled study consisting of interviews, surveys, correspondence, etc., is needed to determine the present "stste of the 8rt" snd perhaps some an5Wtlrs or re~~ctions to the following:

( 1 I Can waste automobile oil actually be used as a fuel? can it be reused as a lubricating oil? How about other product applications such as machining coolant or cutting oils, road oil, weed killer, insect spray, etc. 7

(2) Is the technology for conversion of waste oil presently available? Are there established companies in the United States currently working on reprocessing waste oil or on similar materials?

The ideAl Washington applicant is thoughtful, hard working. mature and interested in the world outside the safe confines of the WPI campus. A student who chooses the Washington Project Center because "Worcester's a drag and there's· bound to be more happening in Washington" will soon discover he Is in over his head.

Students in Washington prepare verv detailed, well researched and written reports for private and public agencies who use this information in maktng decisions. The reports must be able to withstand close scrutiny by professionals outside the WPI community. Unless a student is willing to devote himself to such a venture, Washington is not for him.

More than 100 students have taken advantage of the Washington program.

• Most of these students were juniors at the time they completed their project work, some were seniors and a few were sophomores. Three women have gone through the Washington program Women are encouraged to consider the Washington program. There are no ob­stacles to women or any other group of students participating in the program.

What type of student opts for Washington? let Barrv Tarr sum it up, "In short if you want to meet a lot of interesting people, learn a lot and have a good time while doing your lOP. then Washington is the place."

If you went to find out If Washington is the place for YOU, come to the lOP Center at 4 p.m. on Nov. 24.

13) Potentially, how much waste automobile oil is available?

(4) What are some of the recommended methods for collecting and consolidating waste oil from supplier~ such as "do-it· yourselfets", commercial service, stations and garages, auto, truck, and aircraft maintenance shops, etc.?

(5) On a local level (neighborhood. town city), what types of systems could be in: stalled to encourage collection of waste oil?

{6) What types of collection equipment is envisioned?

171 What about the economics of recycling? Could a town or municipality working ind'rvidually or in a consortium with other towns operate a total system of collection, reprocessing, and resale at a profit thus reducing the tax burden to the property owners?

(8) Could you develop a "master plan" describing how an individual might establish and manage a small business devoted to the collection, reprocessing and distribution of waste autamotive lubricating oil?

Wcxcester businessmen hear candidates Two 1976 Presidential candidates, R.

Sargent Shriver and Representative Morris K. Udall. spoke on October 19th at the eighth annual meeting of the Small Business Service Bureau. Inc., an association based in Worcester, representing 20,000 small businesses in New England. The featured speaker was noted humorist and newspaper columnist Art Buchwald. l'he meeting was held at the Sheraton-lincoln Inn, Worcester and was well attended by businessmen from across New England.

Head table guests at the annual meeting Included U. S. Congressmen Joseph D. Early, Worcester, and Michael J. Harrington of Beverly. State officials in­cluded Lt. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill Ill, Sec. of State Paul H. Guzzi, and Treasurer Robert 0. Crane. State legislators present included Senate President Kevin B. Harrington, Sen. MAjority Leader Joseph J. DiCarlo, Sen. • norlty l~er John F. Parker, and many others from across the state. John P. Kearney, Ombudman for Business in the U. S. Department of Commerce represented Commerce Secretary Rogers Morton.

Shriver, the first director of the Peace Corps under President Kennedy and the Poverty Program under President Johnson,

was the Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate in 1972 under George McGovern. A former Ambassador to France, he is a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Shriver spoke briefly, mostly about ex­perience in the field of foreign affairs, but made no concrete statements concerning the major Issues of the time.

Udall, who also seeks the Presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket, Is a 13-year veteran of the U. S. House of Representatives and has been travelling across the Commonwealth extensively in preparation for the Mass. primary, March 2, 1976. Udall also appeared more recently last Tuesday evening at Clark University. The major theme of his talk at Clark cen· tered around one statement that he made, "McGovern was right In 72." Most of his policies and statements have followed along the lines of George McGovern's 1972 campaign. At his earlier appearance, Udall was extremely vocal abqut the ineptitude of the Ford Ad ministration. r This 8rticle is presented BS part of an lOP

One ot the high priority 8 i·Centennial items of the Northborough Historical Society is to conduct an Intensive study of the physical aspects of its museum and to formulate a plan whereby its extensive collection of agricult•Jral and farm·craft equipment may be effectively displayed.

The first phase in the study would require a complete evaluation of available space, the preparation of a master inventory list of all related items presently on hand, and a listing of all other representative hems which would be requiroo in order to make the exhibit as complete as possible.

The second phase would include the development of architectural detail drawings prepared to profesSJonal stand ards. These drawings would mcorporete, in·so·far liS possible, construction features and materials typical of the 1750·1800 period. Further, the plans would mclude detailed specifications for optimum placement end display of items on hand in the CUffent collection as well as prov/stons for dtsplsying items whtch would be added to the collection at a later date.

Work would be coordinated with the museum curator, trustees, and with various Society officers.

Court rules against Constitution By Diane Auerbach

(CPSl - The US Constitution doesn't carry much weight in Utah. A recent Utah Supreme Court decision ruled essentially that the First and Fourteenth Amendments apply to the federal government but not to individual states.

In a ruling on a pornography case, the Utah Supreme Court decided that the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech, religion and the press, as well as the right to assemble, does not necessarily affect Utah. The Supreme Court afso ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits any state from abridging the constitutional rights of US citizens, was invalid.

In the State of Utah vs. Kipp Phillips, Dennis Horn and Jerry McCnght case, the court ruled 3-2 that the First Amendment "is simply, solely, expressly and utterly nothing more and nothing less than a limitation upon the Congress of the United States and the powers of the federal government."

The case began in the summer of 1974 with a raid on the Adult Book and Cinema Store in Ogden, UT. The store was shut down and tho three owners arrested, convicted and fined $299 each . The bookstore owners appealed the city court decision, but the~r convictions were upheld by the state d1strict court and the state supreme court. The owners have not yet decided whether to appeal their case further.

Although the defendants claimed that their First Amendment rights were violated by their arrest, the Supreme Court thought otherwise. In an unprecedented move, the court decided that not only were the

defendants' arguments shaky, but that the First Amendment was invalid.

"Utah's Constitution provides all of the Bill of Rights in the first ten amendments,'" Justice H. 81ett told the Dsily Utah Chronicle, the student newspaper of the University of Utah. "We think the federal government ought to keep out of this. It isn't any of their business.''

In the court decision, Justice J. Allan Crockett underscored the first words of the First Amendment which read, '"Congress shall make no law respecting an establish· ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... '"

"laws such as our Constitution should be interpreted and applied according to the plain import of their language as it would be understood by persons of ordinary in­telligence and experience,'" Crockett said m the majority opinion. Only Congress is mentioned in the amendment, the court ruled, not individual states.

" The Utah Supreme Court has suc­ceeded where Robert E. lee failed," commented Melvin l. Wulfe, legal director of the American Civil liberties Union's national office. " It has reversed the out· come of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil War, and has declared the state free of the Bill of Rights. A notable victory of judicial incompetence."

Apparently, Utah h~:~s taken a liking to its newfound role as a maverick. In another part of the state, BriAham Young University recently declared that it had no intention of obeymg federal regulations on sex discrimination. A univerSity spokesman branded the Title IX regulations as both " illegal and unconstitutional "'

The techmques for recycling used paper products and waste metal items are reasonably well established. From all reports, considerable use can be made from recycled waste material and, if the volume is sufficient, often at impressive profits.

Other than spasmodic attempts to collect waste aluminum items by representatives of the Reynolds Aluminum Company of America at local shopping centers or random collection systems in some municipal waste disposal areas, there is very little organized effort in recycling. There seems to be little incentive for the individual to participate.

Collecting Household Solid Waste I have the "seed" of an idea, so simple

and straightforward, that it is incredible that the idea has never before been tried.

like the ''hula-hoop", the concept, when developed to its full potential, will '"sweep the nation." It not only recycles waste iiiateriais but it recycles PEOPLE. It can return substantial tax dollars to municipalities because the entire operation can be readily incorporated into existing local government structures. And so much more .....

~icentennial theatre By John J . Wsllsce

:ew of us can really identify w1th the nflicts and personal vs. political 1ssures accompanymg the American volution. To de<:1de whether to remain al to the Brittsh or to JOin the olutionaries was not as clear cut as one y think. This Is exemplified in Marc P. tith's "The Brewster Papers" presented the Worcester Foothills Theatre Com­lY recently. t's 1n4. anu with war hanging on the 1d, Tom Brewster finds himself torn :ween conflicting loyalties. His fellow onlals, his king and his family are all uonding support, and he must make a nd putting h1mself, h1s family, and his d on the line; all or nothing. rhe whole idea of choosing sides seems eat to Brewster. He d1dn' t ask for war; needed ttme to th1nk th1ngs out. but the rid moves too fast and Brewster is ced along with it. ~rwone who frequents Foothills often. 1 usually plnpotnt the castings for the JOr male roles So it ts with this >ductton. Kricker James, an actor and ector whom I ltke more and more every \e I see was Tom Brewster. The pari IUtred Lll arrangement of emotions of ;ich only Mr. James IS capable. Paul 1yberry portrayed Rev. Caleb H~rnson, 1 seemingly cold revolu tionary to whom awster has given his sister, Sarah, in rriage in an attempt to straddle the lltical fence. Mr. Mayberry came across

tn his usual powerfuliy dominating style wh1ch fit the role perfectly.

The play was centered in Corby, a fie· tional village outside Worcester, a touch which added familiarity and realism to the performance.

The play built to a great crescendo but the ftnale lacked considerably. The vtewer ts left w1th a good feeling at first, but then realizes that noth1ng was resolved This might have been a fault w1th a reason. By leavtng things up 1n the atr, Mr. Sm1th may have been h1nttng at the never ending aspect of any crisis concerning moral values As with Tom Brewster, so it IS wtth everyone always. We all f1nd it hard to take a stand concerning war or revolution when a defin1te nght or wrong can never be ptnpotnted. No matter how dry books make moral decisions seem dunng the Amencan Revolution, these decisions were no easter then than they are today.

Marc Sm1th has an tnteresung theatncal background and ts now executive producer of Foothills Theatre. If you see h1m at one of thetr shows, take the ttme to menuon you' re from Tech and tell h1m what you thought of the show; good or bad I'm sure he' ll be interested. Foothills w1ll be producmg another of h•s plays tn January.

Next at Foothills Theatre, 6 Chatham St., will be Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors", November 19 through December 7. Times are Wed. - 8; Thurs. - 2, 8; Fri. - 8; Sat. - 5, 9; and Sun. 2, 8. Student tickets are $2.50.

lepertory theatre -By John J. WIJIIIIC6

New England Repertory Theatre shows ' type of spi11t I like to see. The members me f rom a varied background. Brought Jether by their love of theatre, they are nt inually doing justice to the plays they >duce and the community which sup­rts them. One of the best ways to analyze any f orm

art Ia through the reasons for its stence. This is especially true with ~etre. What is art without a reason, and 1rse yet, what Ia theatre without a reason; rtainly something that shouldn' t come 1t the atage. Nhat are the motives behind New gland Rep? Why does it exist? Certainly, tre is the members' love for theatre and lir desire to offer the community Tlething meaningful. However, the thing It makes New England Rep unique to :wce.ter audiences, is that they con­tently experiment with thelltre. A play is many lines, but It haa the potential of

tumerabll peqonelitiea on stage. It is w England Rep's desire to explore thele saibllltiee. ~n excellent example of this is their :ent production of " Three ~ From e Kyogen" and William B. Yeat'a " The !ly Jealousy of Emer", where they have mblned three comic playa from di t ional Japanese theatre with a Werful tr8gedy by Yeats, a twentieth :~tury lrt.h ptaywfight. The idee of preeenting both comedy and tma, one • a compliment to the other, is no means new. Lately, however, this ia ely done, and New England Rep's

production tS definitely a step in the right direction. Although all four plays are foreign in style. their portrayals of both the comic and tragic sides of life are universal. Theatre is not just an art, but an ex· perlence, a look into another world. The choice of foreign plays added greatly to this.

The "Three Plays From the K yogen" were amusing. Their morals were obvious, and the charac ters w ere sirrij)le, but not unwise. Yeats's " The Only Jealousy Of Emer" went right over my head. Since seeing the play, I have gone OYer it . It is very ~ul, complex and difficult to produce. The performance failed to handle this. Being exposed to this play for the first time, I missed most of the allusions which add so much. The potential for a great production was there, but was defeated by the sheer complexity of the ptay.

I admire the attempt which was a soc· ceu on idea alone. Aftet all, we all know some experiments wen better than others.

Is nuclear power economical? SAN FRANCISCO IPNSI -

Nuclear power. already challenged as unsafe, may soon prove uneconomical as well.

In virtually every phase of the nuclear fission system, prices have skyrocketed to levels unimagined only a year ago. Here is the economic picture in six key phases of the nuclear power process:

Uranium: The price of uranium, the nuclear fuel, has tripled in the past year -from $8 per pound to $24 per pound .•

Westinghouse Electnc Corp., which supplies uranium to about 40 per cent of the fission power plant market, recently announced it would not honor its uranium supply contracts under the original price terms. The Wall Street Joumal called the decision "another blow to an industry that haa been severely set back because of eecalating costs ... "

The breeder reactor: once counted upon to solve any fuel ;;upply problems because It produces more fuel than it consumes, the breeder has been hit by continuing con~truction delays and

technical difficulties The federal Energy Research and

Development Agency IERDA) no longer regards the breeder program as its top priority, and mstead plans to concentrate research on conventional reactors. And the General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, has recommended a delay of seven-to-ten years before deciding on its development for commercial use.

Enrichment and reprocessing of uranium: American reactors, unlike Canadian, cannot use uranium as it is found in nature. It must be "enriched" - in­creasing the concentration of fissionable Uranium 235 - a process whose costs have escalated from $35 to $50 per pound in the last two years.

"Reprocessing" - removing waste materials from spent nuclear fuel and salvaging the uranium and plutonium for further use - has become economically unfeasible in the U.S. Yet reprocessing has alwayS been considered an essential step in producing cheap nuclear power.

General Electric in Morris, Ill.. has already been mothballed because reprocessing proved too costly. A recent GE report concluded that to make reprocessing economically feasible, power companies would have to pay $300 per kilogram (2.2 pounds) for reprocessed fuel by 1986 -almost six times what they now pay for the original fuel.

ERDA now admits that "Efforts by the industry to reprocess fuel in the commercial sector and to use the separated plutonium in new fuel are almost at a standstill." In a recent study, Irvin C. Bupp of MIT con­cludes that without reprocessing, the cost of nuclear power by 1900-85 will equal -and then surpass - the cost of coal· fired power.

Meanwhile, thousands of spent nuclear fuel rods have been stored for future reprocessing. Now private industry Is running out of storage facilities - with only five per cent of its original storage capacity vacant.

Construction costs: The cost of building a nuclear reactor has risen from $300 per kilowatt of capacity in 1970 to $1,135 per kilowan in 1975. IThe cost of building fossil fuel - oil, coal or gas -plants has also increased, but not nearly so much, It is currently about $950 per kilowatt of capacity.)

Coupled with declining electrical power demand, thts has led to numerous can­cellations of nuclear facilities by utility companies. Houston Lighting and PDwer Co., tor example, has just announced the indefinite postponement of tts twin reactor nuclear station in Aliens Creek, Tex., as estimated construction costs climbed from $900 million in 1971 to $1.5 billion in 1975. Detroit Edison has announced cancelation of its Monroe, Mich., nuclear plant after construction costs increased from $675 mllllon to $900 million In one year. And Middle South Utilities of New Orleans canceled two nuclear power projects and deferred another affer construction cost estimates rose from $1.2 billion to $2.3 billion.

Capacity factors and reliability: Cost calculations for nuclear power have assumed that reactors will operate at an average capacity of 80 per cent. However, a survey of all operational reactors in 1974 showed they functioned at an average capacity of only 51.6 per cent. If such conditions ~t. then the cost of nuclear power has been underassessed by about 60 per cent.

Operating capacity has fallen in part because technical foulups have forced prolonged shutdowns of many planta. In February 1975, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shut down 23 reactors to

check for suspected cracks in pipea of emergency core cooling system. For lhl reactors - each shut down an ~ five dayS at a cost of $250-$300,000 1 - the total loss was $30 million.

Reactors at Browns Ferry, Ala., Bottom, Pa., Rancho Seco, Ca.. elsewhere have had even longer 5riU..._IIj,;M or operated at reduced capacity 1..1111111;-. .. oe accidents or defects in the nuclear turbine.

Decommissioning: Reactora cummulate radioactive waste prOduc:ta eventually reduce their efficiency to 1 than economical level, whereupon contaminated reactor must be " missioned" - salvaged or sealed guarded.

To date, few plants have reached year decommissioning point -the large reactors now being built estimates for dooommissioning run ween $25 million and $70 million Pll' for 1982. But like fuel reprocesaint plant construction, decommissioning run into unforeseen difficulties and higher costs.

Like safety hazards, the rising nuclear power are gradually coming attack by nuclear power critics -private and in the government

The industry still contends thM current cost of nuclear-produced is substantially less than that fOf sources of energy. Its major association, the Atomic Industrial .._._r~n

the conference to CIA officials or challenged the basis of the conference.

" Why should they protest?" asked Thurmer of the CIA. " Jobs are very scarce these days."

At UCLA, student prorest against the CIA was sparked by a story in the Dally Brum, the student newspaper, which first told of the conference. Student leaders attacked ties between the University of California and the CIA.

The student ctitics stressed that the CIA has violated democratic rights wherever they have conducted activities," and that the campaign to hire minority students is part of an effort to "exercise dominion over the colonial and underdeveloped world."

The UCLA student government is currently considering a resolution con· damning "any form of administration cooperation in the CIA's recruitment of minority students and calling for a serious examination of the University's motives In cooperating with such an effort."

The resolution calls for an end to all ties between UCLA and the CIA, and demands all correspondence between the CIA and UCLA be made public.

Officials from the San Diego and Berkeley campuses of the University of California also attended the conference. A spokesperson for the Berkeley campus said that the CIA conference offer was treated the way it would be from any other government office, and that the placement office went ahead and sent a representative without notifying the chancellor's office.

CIA recruitment on college campuses is not unusual, though efforts at minority recruitment are more recent. At some schools, such as the University of Maryland and the University of California at Davis, CIA recruitment is being resumed after an absence of several years. At the University of Montana, recruitment efforts have been steady for a number of years, and the CIA even advertised openings in the student newspaper.

In W85hington OC, an American University graduate has asked the courts to award him $150,000 in lost income and $600,000 in punitive damages after the university terminated him from a doctoral program.

The student, Herman I. Schaller, took an early retirement from his 30-year govern· ment job to pursue a doctoral program in "research and development management." He claims that after he enrolled, the university dropped its management program, assigned him advisors who were unqualified in the field and then discharged him two years before the time limit the college catalogue gave him to complete his PhD.

·Even though he was enrolled in management, "at one point a special comm1nee suggested that I write my dissertation on poll~cal theory," said Schaller.

program were told in the fall of 1973 that they were Ineligible for their final nursing course because they had failed to attain a C-mmus average - a stipulation not mentioned in the school's catalogue.

The students lost their case in the courts, and decided to repeat one of the nursing classes to bring up their grade average. Their claim for damages is still pending.

In another part of New York, a graduate student at Syracuse University has sued for breach of the college catalogue contract. Asking for damages of nearly $4000 for back tuition, Thomas White has argued that the post-graduate philosophy department offered courses that duplicated those in other departments and that "non· philosophy specialists" were teaching philosophy courses that differed drastically from the catalogue description sent to prospective grad students.

According to White, the significance of his case is the "future of academic freedom." The University responded to his charges by slapping him with a $10,000 countersuit

"The charges are ri<fiCuloua," countered Margaret E. James, coordinator of the program. "no one else has complained."

In an attempt to recoup her lost tuition, Nicolas is wing the university for $900.

Hardly an Issue a few years ago, the recent outbreak of college catalogue contract cases is due to "an increase In consumer-orientation," according to William Van Alstyne, a law professor at Cuke University, in North Carolina, and an e•pert in contract law.

"Decisive gains have been made in commercial consumerism and interest has spilled over to the college campus," said Alstyne. "Contract law applies when colleges don't fumish what they promise."

The issue of whether the contents of a school's catalogue have the force of a legal contract promises to be a difficult one. According to the Harvard Educational Review, "the right to sue for economic (rather than physical) Injuries resulting from negligence on the part of school J)8t'80f'lnel is both without precedent in the common law and without explicit mandate in legislation."

"It will prove an interesting battle," concluded Alstyne.

WPI finishes 2-5-1 The Worcester Polytechnic lnstttute

football team ended its 1975 season by losing its last three games of the season, despite leading or being near the top of division Ill in passing offense statistictr. This combination produced some exciting moments as the Engineers were never completely outplayed or out of any game after homecoming. WPI held Wesleyan to a 7-7 tie, and lost to Coast Guard (20-9), RPI 126-25), and NOfWich 144-22).

The Wesleyan game was played in the pouring rain at Alumni field, which did not help the WPI aerial anack. The weather did slow down the Cardinals' wishbone off3nse • the WPI defenders forced 7 fumblel and held the Cardinals on a fourth - and -goal at the one yard line.

WPI jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a one yard plunge by Alan Simakausbs which was aet up a 30 yard John Pappas - to - Mike Walker aenal. The Engineers had a chance to win but a field goal attempt with 14 seconds lett to play was wide.

The next week WPI travelled to New London, Conn. to play the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Cadets. It only rained for the first half that day bUt it was enough to hinder WPI's passing attack as Coast Guard intercepted WPI quarterbacks 4 times. 20 points in the fourth quarter put the game 'away the Cadets and Peter Rowden scored the line WPI touchdown on a 8 year pass from Pappas.

WPI met traditional rival Renssalear Polytechnic Institute on a d!Y day and played what has to be one of the best games ever played between the two schools. Although it did not rain, the wind was to play a big factor as both teams scored the majority of their points when they had the wind at their backS.

WPI vaulted to a 13.() lead at half-time mainly through the air as Pappas com· pleted a 49 yard pass to freshman tight-end Marty Paglione. Linebacker Serge Ochrimenko increased WPI's lead to 13..0 when with 7 seconds left to play in the first hatf, he picked off an em~nt RPl pass and lumbered 29 yards for a touchdown.

API took the wind and the momentum away from the Engineers in the second half as they scored 26 unanswered points. Bad • field position plagued the Engineers as API dominated play throughout quarter number three. WPI 7 0 0 0 - 7 w.....,.., 0 0 7 0 - 7

WPI did not give up and rallied on a 68 yard touchdown pass from Pappas - to -Walker. The placement was missed, however, and WPI was put In the position of needing a touchdown and two points to win. When Quarterback Art Hughes hit Marty Paglione for a 5 yard touchdown pass with one minute and 12 seconds left to play, it all came down to one two-point conversion. Hughes took the ball from center and rolled to his right but his pass attempt was blocked at the line of scrimmage and API had won 26-25.

In the last game of the season, the Engineers travelled to Norfield, Vermont to play the Norwich University Cadets. Norwich Halfbacks Sam Pizzimenti and Don Brown of Spencer, Ma. gave the Engineer defense a little more then it could handle as they combineb for 238 yards rushing.

WPI took a 7..(J lead on what has become the patented Pappas - to - Walker bomb. This one covered 44 yards and left the Norwich defenders stunned. Norwich answered with two touchdowns and a field goal but WPI closed the gap to 24-22 on a safety, a 17 yard pass from Hughes to Walker and a brilliant 48 yard pass in­terception and return by junior AI Barry.

After a ICOfeless third quarter Norwich capitalized on some interceptions and scored 20 points to put the game away. WPI did, however, have a chance to take the lead in the third quarter but two field goal attempts were wide.

The WPI passing attack has nothing less than explosive the entire season. Quar­terback John Pappas passed fOf over 1,000 yards during the season and wide receiver Mike Walker has been in the top ten receivers in the nation since the first game. The offensive line of Mark McCabe, Rollie Gravel, Dean Arvidson, Gary Chabot, Char1ie Nixon, and Kevin Hastings should be recognized aa being responsible for pan of these offensive accomplishments.

Despite the 2-5-1 record coach Mel Massucco praited the spirit of the WPI team and talks of things to come with a young defense that will be returning practically Intact next year and some replacements for graduating seniors Chabot, Nixon, and t:fastings. Things could be looking up f()( WPI next fall.

Basketball outlook optimi by Grog•no

A new coach and a new attitude makes the coming season look VflfY promising for the 1975-76 Worcester Polytecbnic In­stitute Basketball team.

Four junionJ retuming are 8-2 guards Rick Wheeler and Jim Brennan, 6--t forward Pete Sheerer and 8-10 center Paul Murphy.

Brennan saw a considerable amount of action last year, coming off the bench as the lixth man. Wheeter allo received a lot of playing time last ~ when he aatumed a starting guerda poeition mid­way through the yeef. Murphy and Sheerer, along with KNpinsky are expected to handle the bulk of the rebounding.

Two sophomores up from last year's J.V. team, 6--t Dave Seriakaa and 8-5 George Fredette will help with the rebounding also. Seraikas, who has a lot of potential, is expected to help with the scoring in ad­dition to his other duties.
