Athena usage has hit record lev-els this term, according to GregoryA. Jackson, director of academiccomputing. Compounded with soft-ware and hardware difficulties oncertain brands of computers, Athenaclusters are more crowded thanever.

"We surpassed last year's peakusage within the first few weeks ofthe term, reaching a usage levelthat's almost twice what it wasabout three years ago," Jacksonsaid.

Although faster computers wereinstalled at the end of summer, thetotal number of machines stayed thesame. "Increased demand and levelresources translate into constrainedaccess," Jackson said.

According to Travis R. Merritt,associate dean for undergraduateacademic affairs, the standard eval-uation form has historically beenplagued by two problems. First, itsrouting process from student toinstructor and the. to adviser hasbeen too slow in generating commu-nication between students andinstructors. Second, the form hasbeen unsuccessful in eliciting mean-ingful exchanges between studentsand instructors.

In order to correct these prob-lems. the new experimental formhas been designed to produce aquicker turn-around, Merritt said.

Using the new form, studentscomment about the class only afterthe instructors evaluate their perfor-mance. This allows students to getan immediate appraisal of theirwork and requires that the instructorknow something about each student.

Another important change wasthe addition of items by which stu-dents and instructors ranked the stu-dents' performance from high tolow. Items included a grasp of basicideas, correlation of grades tounderstanding, enjoyment of thesubject, and the amount of home-

work.The experimental forms have

several advantages over the standardforms, according to Merritt. "Theexperimental forms are more explic-it. They urge students to talk moreanalytically [about] their opinions ofthe course," he said. "In addition,the new routing process is quickerand allows for specific exchange of

WASHINGTON

President Clinton embraced a compromise advanced by politicalopponents of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide Monday asU.S., U.N. and other mediators searched for ways to resolve theisland's leadership crisis without more violence and assassinations.

In the Haitian capital, U.N. envoy Dante Caputo appealed to for-mer President Carter and other out-of-office elected leaders from theWc:stemrn Hemisphere to congregate in Port-au-Prince this week to actas high-level human rights monitors whose presence might discour-age political killings and offer increased safety to parliamentariansand Aristide's supporters.

Aristide, who insists that he intends to return to Haiti Saturdayunder the terms of a tattered peace plan signed last July, will addressthe U.N. General Assembly Thursday to appeal for continued interna-tional support, U.N. officials announced in New York.

Clinton, talking to reporters after meeting Egyptian PresidentHosni Mubarak, said his hopes for a settlement were raised by a prosnosal aidvanced this weekend by a group of Haitian legislators whopreviously had opposed Aristide's return.

The I I-point plan calls for the former president to regain hisoffice provided that he broaden his government to include some polit-ical opponents and Parliament passes legislation assuring coup lead-ers that they will not be punished.

and at one point dropping a yellowsmoke grenade in an apparent effortto mark a Somali gun position justbehind the journalists' hotel.Around 4 p.m., one of the pilotsreported seeing small arms and arocket-propelled grenade fired at hishelicopter, according to the U.N.military spokesman here, NewZealand army Capt. Tim McDavitt.

Although the helicopters neverfired, their aggressive posture wasstriking after several weeks inwhich U.S. forces have pulled backfrom offensive operations followingthe deaths of 18 American service-men on Oct. 3 and 4. U.S. militaryofficers have said they fear that iffactional fighting spins out of con-trol, their troops could once more beforced to take sides, jeopardizingdiplomatic efforts to reconcile rivalsubclans and spawning a new cycleof violence.

No accurate casualty figureswere available Monday, in partbecause Western reporters weretrapped in their hotel by the fightingand could not visit local hospitals.McDavitt said he knew of 45wounded Somalis taken to two U.N.hospitals and a charity clinic.

The broad political significanceof the renewed fighting was "diffi-cult to categorize," said McDavitt,who was interviewed by journalistsvia satellite telephone from the U'.N.compound two miles away. Some ofthe violence appeared to be oppor-iunistic, as tilugs tooks advantage ofxthe chaos to loot property and settlescores. But most of the fightingappeared to involve supporters ofMahdi and Aidid, the two main con-tenders for control of the capital.

"There's the use of small armsand heavy-machine-gun fire but attimes it appears quite sporadic,"said McDavitt. "In terms of aneffect on a cease-fire between thetwo clans, it's really just a matter of

wait and see."For the last several days, the

senior U.N. envoy here, retired U.S.admiral Jonathan Howe, hadworked frantically to head off thepeace march, which grew out of aU.N.-sponsored peace conferenceearlier this month in northMogadishu that Aideed had boy-cotted. Spokesmen for Aidid's polit-ical organization, the SomaliNational Alliance, had warned thatMahdi supporters who crossed theso-called "green line" into Aidid'sstronghold, south Mogadishu, couldmeet armed resistance.

Once in southn Mviogadishu, themarchers were supposed to assembleat an amphitheater in an area ofderelict government buildings andcultural sites near Mogadishu's port.It was unclear how many marchersturned out, although TV crews whoventured into the neighborhoodbrought back footage of several hun-dred and possibly more gathering ina plaza above the amphitheater.

Aidid supporters Monday mom-ing set up roadblocks along thegreen line and took up firing posi-tions behind walls and in the upperfloors of empty buildings. Theshooting began even before the rallywas to begin at 9 a.m., scattering thecrowd and killing at least one Soma-li, according to Judy Keen, areporter for USA Today who wit-ncsscd the episode from a Pakistanipeacekeeping post adjacent to thea,,,pihithea.er. ¥ ideo footageshowed Aideed fighters firing rock-et-propelled grenades at Mahdipositions across the green line.

Despite the sometimes intensegunfire, Somalis in the area appearedto pay little attention so long as thefire was not directed at them. Evenas reporters cowered in their hotel'shallways, wearing helmets and bodyarmor, a tea shop across the streetwas open for business.

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA

Somalia's worst inter-clan fight-ing in seven months erupted hereMonday, undercutting U.N.-spon-sored peace talks and posing a freshchallenge to the growing U.S. com-bat presence in the city.

Mogadishu reverberated withsporadic small arms and heavy-machine-gun fire and the ear-split-ting bang of rocket-propelledgrenades. The fighting, whichinvolved four separate clashes, con-tinued this evening. It was the firstmajor breach in Mogadishu of anunsteady truce arranged last Marchin a reconciliation agreement amongSomalia's clan militias.

The violence began Mondaymorning when the militia ofMohamed Farrah Aidid clashedwith that of his archrival, MohamedAli Mahdi, along the front betweenthem that divides the city. Severalthousand of Mahdi's Abgal subclanhad assembled in the territory ofAideed's Habr Gedir subclan for a"peace march" - a move Aididdenounced as provocative.

B3y early afternoon, fighting hadspread to three other areas, includingthe Medina neighborhood, near themain U.N. compound, and the areaaround a key traffic circle, known asK-4. Reporters witnessed threeexplosions from the roof of theirhotel in the vicinity of the circle.

United Nations combat troopsand their American partners did notintervene in the fighting and a U.N.military spokesman said late Mon-day afternoon that the emphasis wasstill on "political dialogue." Ameri-can Cobra attack helicopters circledabove this morning's fighting at asafe altitude.

By Monday afternoon, however,the helicopters were more active,chugging low over the traffic circle

A DNA test raises serious questions about the guilt of a mentallyretarded man who is sentenced to die in Virginia's electric chair forraping and killing a Culpeper woman in 1982, state officialsacknowledged Monday.

The news ultimately could result in the release of Earl Washing-ton Jr., 34, who was convicted based on a confession that defenselawyers maintain was coerced because of his limited intelligence.

Attorney General Stephen D). Rosenthal said the most sophisticat-ed DNA test was not conducted because too little sperm had beenpreserved well enough for examination. But another genetic test,looking for more general traits, yielded mixed results and so Wash-ington cannot yet be eliminated as a suspect, he said.

"The test threw us a curveball," Rosenthal said. "It neither estab-lished his innocence, nor did it rule him out as a perpetrator."

Despite calls from Washington's supporters for his immediaterelease, the inmate will remain on death row at the Mecklenburg Cor-rectional Center pending a review by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder andfurther tests, Rosenthal said.

The development is the latest in a case that has generated nationaldebate about the mentally retarded and capital punishment. Medicaltests have indicated that Washington has the mentality of a O10-year-old and an IQ of 69.

Scientists Report DiscoveryOf Co-Receptor Used by AIDS Vmus

NEWSDA Y

Discovery of a natural molecule that the AIDS virus uses like atrapdoor to invade white blood cells was reported Monday by Frenchresearchers, who hope it will lead to vaccines or treatments for AIDS.

According to a report released by the Pasteur Institute at a newsconference in Paris, virologist Ara Hovanessian's research team iso-lated a co-reccptor that the AIDS virus uses in tandem with the well-known CD4 receptor.

The CD4 cells - white blood cells bearing CD4 surface mole-cules - are the major target of the AIDS virus. It has been knownthat the virus needs to find CD4 molecules so it can anchor itself toblood cells. But it was not known what happens next, exactly how thevirus wonns its way into the ceil to cause disease. Hovanessian's find-a molecule called CD26 - apparently answers that question. It isan enzyme that opens a portal so the virus can slip inside.

Virologist Max Essex, head of the Harvard AIDS Institute, inBoston, said the French discovery "sounds both interesting andimportant. It's been known by everyone for a long time that CD4 wasnecessary, but not sufficient," for the AIDS virus to infect cells. "Butno one had come up with a clear reason why," Essex said.

KIEV, UKRAINE

Promising the carrots of eco-nomic aid and a possible summitwith President Clinton, Secretary ofState Warren Christopher won apledge from Ukraine's leaders Mon-day to give up the long-rangenuclear weapons deployed here bythe former Soviet Union. But theydidn't say when.

Nevertheless, Ukraine and theUnited States Monday night signedan "umbrella agreement" that StateDepartment officials said could leadto the removal of the weapons. Theagreement calls for dismantling the130 SS-19 missiles, amongUkraine's oldest weapons. Wash-ington will make available $1 77million in funds to help pay for thedismantling, along with $153 mil-lion in economic aid.

But Ukraine had already begunto dismantle these missiles, andMonday's agreement was not acommitment to give up the rest ofthe arsenal that has made Ukrainethe third largest nuclear powerbehind the United States and Russia,each with about 8,000 warheads.

U.S. officials added, however,that Ukrainian leaders privatelyindicated they would end insistenceon remaining a nuclear power ifWashington provided compensationfor the weapons and security guar-antees against possible Russianexpansion.

Ukrainian leaders have pointedto a combination of Russian insta-bility and expansionism to explain

their reluctance to become a non-nuclear power.

In the weeks leading up toChristopher's trip, Ukraine's gov-ernment and parliamentary leadershad insisted that it would not giveup all of its nuclear arsenal, whichtotals 176 missiles, holding 1,240warheads, plus 42 bombers carrying596 cruise missiles or bombs.Although they remain, for now,under Russian control and the ColdWar is over, most of them are tar-geted on the United States.

But Christopher, struggling tomake the best of the situation,stressed at a news conference thatPresident Leonid Kravchuk hadgiven him unambiguous personalassurances that Ukraine intended toabide by a 1992 agreement, callingfor his country to dismantle theweapons and ship them back to Rus-sia - although he didn't say when.

The secretary also reported thatKravchuk Monday had sent to Par-liament the 1991 Strategic ArmsReduction Treaty, or START, aswell as a recommendation to jointhe international 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as a non-nuclear state.

But Dmytro Pavlychko, chair-man of the Parliament's foreignrelations committee, told reportersafter the meeting with Christopher:

"We would keep our 46 SS-24s forseven years, 10 years or 20 years."Valentyn Lemish, chairman of thedefense committee agreed. AndStephan Khmara, head of theUkraine Conservative RepublicanParty, said, "1 don't see a possibilityof our security if we do not havenuclear weapons."

And although the legislators saidthe Parliament, called the Rada,might approve START, they saw nochance of joining the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

"We would be in one moment anon-nuclear nation," Pavlychkosaid. "Events in Russia are develop-ing in a very dangerous direction."

As for Kravchuk's privatepromise, he has said repeatedly inthe past three years that Ukraine hadno nuclear ambitions. But he hascited fears of Russia and has blamedParliament, playing both sides andspinning out a delaying game.

One senior U.S. official suggest-ed the delay had a financial objec-tive.

Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenkonoted that the Ukrainian economy,suffering from 100 percent inflationper month, is near collapse. Hheappealed to the the West for aid ingetting rid of the nuclear weapons,estimating the process would cost$2.8 billion.....

rises from clay ovens. Roosters strut about, then scramble under thehooves of donkeys. Schoolchildren race down narrow alleys.

It seems a perfect Palestinian rural tableau, with freshly turned redearth in the valley, boxy concrete houses clinging to the hillside,women in black shuttling amid the shadows, men crammed into taxisreturning from their day's labor.

But Beita is a village of scars - of lives lost, homes blown up,worlds turned upside down.

After a violent clash with Jewish settlers in 1988, Beita was trans-formed into a hotbed of the Palestinian uprising, or intifada. Eightyouths have been killed in violent confrontations with the Israeliarmy since then; the last death was only four and a half months ago.

Now, in the wake of the accord between Israel and the PalestineLiberation Organization, Beita is a village waiting for deliverance.

In a series of recent interviews, the villagers seemed to be lookingforward to the creation of a Palestinian government, rather than backtoward the years of the uprising.

One view remains constant: All said they want Israeli troops toleave, and that they remain suspicious of Jewish settlements and set-tlers. Most said they would like as little contact with Israelis as possi-ble.

Germany Investigates AgencyInvolved In Blood Scandal

THlE WASHINGTON POST

BERLIN

Facing a growing AIDS scandal, the German government haslaunched a criminal investigation into a federal agency that admittedit kept quiet for years about suspicions that blood supplies used fortransfusions in 1985 and earlier were contaminated with HIV-bloodsupplies that infected more than 2,300 people.

Described as the worst medical disaster in Germany's postwarhistory, the situation here is being compared to the AIDS scandal inFrance, which involved the deaths of an estimated 1,200 hemophili-acs and the convictions last year of three top health officials whoallowed blood they knew was tainted to be used in transfusions in1985. They were convicted of fraud and criminal negligence.

German authorities say blood supplies are now safe, but hundredsof deaths are being attributed to transfusions of contaminated bloodin past years. And several government officials have been fired.

More than 2,300 people in Germany were infected with HIVthrough blood transfusions, mostly in 1985 or earlier, the FederalHealth Office reported Friday. About 400 have died, and the numberis growing at the rate of about one a week, according to one report.

"This is really the biggest medical scandal in the history of thefederal republic," Klaus Kirschner, a member of the German Parlia-ment and health expert for the opposition Social Democrats, said inan interview. "I fear its full dimensions are still not known."

The scandal erupted earlier this month when Health MinisterHorst Seehofer disclosed that the semiautonomous Federal HealthOffice in Berlin had kept quiet for nine years about 373 cases, mostdating to 1985 or earlier, in which people were suspected to havecontracted the AIDS virus through donated blood.

farm animals can probably beapplied to humans.

The achievement, announced ata recent meeting of fertility experts,will be published in this week'sissue of the journal Science, FlHallsaid. The work was done at theGeorge Washington UniversityMedical Center in Washington.

The researchers experimented on17 embryos that would not have sur-vived because they had been fertil-ized by excess sperm. Theresearchers extracted live cells fromthe embryos and kept 48 clonedembryos growing briefly in culturedishes. The separated clones aretheoretically capable of growinginto identical adults, if normal.

That such an experiment wasattempted is no surprise. Woric infarm animals is now so advanced-with half a dozen adult cows clonedfrom a single embryo -- that humanexperiments were sure to follow.

"The idea of cloning humans is adistasteful idea. However, it is justi-fiable where the woman may be able

The first clear evidence thathuman embryos can be split intomultiple identical copies - andsomeday, perhaps, be grown intoadults- was released recently by aresearch team in Washington.

The experiments were done onembryos that could not have sur-vived but did live long enough toshow that embryo-splitting tech-niques can work. The eventual goal,researchers say, is to expand thenumber of embryos that can be-implanted in women who producetoo few viable eggs.

"This showed the feasibility thatsomewhere, way down the road -if we are technically able and it'sethically acceptable to do this -there is the possibility it (cloning)could work," embryologist JerryHall explained Sunday.

killed by the "judicial" system, the greatestcrime of all is committed.

Chung and other advocates of a strongdeath penalty argue that the punishment mustfit the crime, that criminals should& bemade topay for their wrongdoing. I agree with thisphilosophy to the point of fines, repossession,and incarceration, but not to the maliciouslevel of state sponsored murder. It is just ashypocritical and cruel to punish those convict-ed of rape and assault by raping and beatingthem as it is to kill murderers. Lives cannot betraded like commodities and added and sub-tracted like grains of sand as we do with thepunishments of fines and prison terms. It is

In a column last week, ["Enforcement ofDeath Penalty Required", Oct. 22] Michael K.Chung presented a slew of callous, confusing,and above all hypocritical arguments for astrong enforcement of the barbaric practice ofcapital punishment. Chung's line of reasoningdemonstrated an extraordinary lack of respectfor human life and dignity, the very same val-ues he was supposedly so strenuously tryingto defend.

Archaic and inhumane moral codesespousing creeds such as "an eye for an eye, atooth for a tooth" were manipulated to provideJustification for what is really a heinous crimni-nal act, all the more repugnant because it isgovernment supported. Those who argue for astrong deatn penaity shouid realize ihai iwowrongs do not ever make a right. Killing oneperson as punishment for the death of anotheris in my mind an unconscionable abuse of thedemocratic process and a savage expression ofvicious primal instincts. The death penalty isthe most naive and contemptible manner oflaw enforcement ever created by a supposedlycivilized nation.

Chung argued that people convicted ofserious crimes take up valuable prison space,and it would be more humane and agreeableto them if they were expeditiously executed."Is it really worth it to keep these people there[in prison]?" he asked. What kind of an elitistattitude relegates criminals, who are still

human beings like the rest of us, to become"those people," not even worthy of our con-sideration? Committing a violent crime doesnot make someone any less of a human being;in fact, such violence is an unfortunate trade-

mark of the human race.Chung further implies that a criminal

might rather choose initial execution over along, harsh life in prison. This argumentscreams out with the obvious: any person inprison, no matter how poor the conditions,and no matter how hard it is to readjust afterrelease or acquittal, is alive. It would probablybe difficult to rebuild a life after a lengthyprison term, but it is impossible to rebuild alife after execution. Death is irrevocable. Nocapital punishment policy can be 100 percentfoolproof, and each time an innocent victim is

foolish and morally blasphemous to assign adiscrete amount to someething of immeasur-able and deeply personal worth. The value weplace on a human life has long been a murkyissue. Our government pays people to kill ourenemies everyday, with questionable motives,and then turns around and severely punishes amurderer, possibly to the point of taking his orher life. What kind of system is this, that bothencourages and punishes, and then institution-alizes, murder?

In his column, Chung brought up the caseof Shon McHugh as an example of why thedeath penalty must be more vigorouslyenforced- Like Chung, I too am disgusted withMcHugh. I think his murder of Yngve K.Raustein '94 was one of the most awful thingsthat anyone coaul ever do. and his thought-less, arrogant attitude offends me to no end.However, I would be no better a person thanMcHugh if I advocated inflicting the samehorrible punishment on him. In these cases,we must force ourselves to avoid the simpleknee-jerk reaction and instead to take themoral high ground, to act like the civilizedsociety that we claim to be. Just because peo-pie commit atrocious deeds does not mean wemust stoop to their level in handing out retri-

medical or family circumstances would be awaste of time with the callous statement, "itseems silly to pursue such arguments." One ofthe basic tenets of our democracy is the con-cept of people being innocent until provenguilty. At the same time, we are ethically andconstitutionally bound to grant an impartialand honest trial by jury to anyone chargedwith a crime. I find it alarming and personallyoffensive that advocacy of the death penaltyhas extended to arguments for presumption ofguilt befbre trial and swishes for a bypass ofthe entire judicial system, going straight fromarrest to the electric chair. In any situation, Iwould rather aIlow a guilty person to walkfree than for an innocent victim to be mur-dered by the government.

Chung writes, "It is unfair for a person totake someone's iire without just cause.' iwholeheartedly agree with this policy, andbelieve it applies equally to murderers andthose who would murder them in turn. It isimportant to set an example for criminals, butby enforcing the death penalty, society isbeing hypocritical and implicitly acceptingatheir violent motives. Instead, we must showvthat human life is sacred and should not bedestroyed, especially by government policy.

By Dave FoxSTAFF REPORTER

he Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, led bytrumpeter and MIT lecturer MarkHaarvcy, is one of the most interestinggroups on the Boston music scene.

As befits the "orchestra" moniker, Aardvarkis composed of no less than nineteen musi-cians (including Harvey), who play virtuallyall instruments ever associated with jazz

This gives Harvey as a composer immenseflexibility in tonal options, which he exploitsas fully as any big band composer ever has.Instead of the usual grouping of five saxes,four trombones, five trumpets, and a conven-tional rhythm section, Harvey has replaced thepiano and several brass chairs with electricbass, french horn, and a dedicated hand drum-mer to produce a very exciting instrumenta-tion. Coupled with Harvey's formidable com-position skills, this makes for very excitingnew music.

Saturday's concert was a CD release per-formance celebrating the release of Aard-vark's first CD, Aardvark Steps Out (soon tobe reviewed in this space). The concert wasin two halves, with a short intermission. Thefirst half consisted of pieces from the CD.

(Unfortunately I missed this part because ofmy folly of driving to the Harvard Squarevenue.) The second half featured the premierof Harvey's ambitious long work"Passages/Psalms II," inspired by contempo-rary social justice issues.

The piece opened with some hand drum-ming (on a conventional drum kit) by HarryWellott. This drumming was joined by handclapping, and "hand drumming" by JohnFunkhouser on the body of his upright bass.Richard Nelson added the first melodic strainsto the piece with random jazz guitar licks. Toadd to the mood-setting effect, various hornplanyers emhellished the sound with whiqtie,key slaps, and other rhythmic sounds. Tocomplete the introduction, Funkhouser bowedhis bass in a duet with the guitar, producing ahaunting groove effect and setting the stagefor the entrance of the horns.

The horn entrance was subtle, with thethree trumpets (muted) playing against PhilScarff s soprano sax. The trombones and barisax played a counterpoint to the theme playedby the trumpets. Scarff then played a sopranosax solo over the horns, in a somewhat under-stated fashion.

The overall effect of this section Wasrather muted and understated, but was corrm-pletely changed by the simultaneous entrance

very soulful middle section of the piece.Although Egozy did not play from memory, hisversatility as a musician gave many of thefaster passages an improvisatory character andmade the concerto a delight to hear.

Dvorak was also one to draw on hisnational heritage in his work. Throughout hisEighth Symphony, Dvorak brilliantly switch-es moods from measure to measure, high-lighting the drama of the music. Epstein cer-tainly had this in mind as he directed a verypassionate performance. Fine thoughEpstein's musical interpretation might havebeen, however, I again found the violin tonedefLeicni Tihe violllllisis were M-ildOi;; IV Piv-duce the reliable, homogenous sounddemanded for Dvorak's oft-lush orchestra-tion. On the whole, the sound was fierce, andwhen it was not fierce, it was just out-of-tune. It would help if the violinists wouldfollow the bowings of their concertmaster,George Ogata.

Although the violas and cellos fared betterthan the violins, the winds consistentlyshowed more poise. Except for a few (butunderstandable) wobbles from the horns, thewinds played more like a chamber ensemblewith a singular musical purpose. They weremost effective in the slow movement.

Violin-foibles apart, the orchestra can bepraised for their communication of passion inthe music, bringing the concert to an emotionalconclusion.

IT's Symphony Orchestra spranginto last action last Saturday withthe Overture to Mozart's TheImpresario. The violin tone was at

times edgy and uLneven and the overall violinsound seemed much too big for Moivizart'smusic. But, such lapses into harshness apart,Mozart's drama-in-music was wittily commu-nicated by David Epstein and his musicians.

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a resource-ful and original composer, but an inadequatelyrecognized one. Nielsen ingeniously incorpo-rated the folk music of his homeland, Denr-mark into his compositions using 20th centurypoly-tonality, typically exemplified in hisClarinet Concerto. After the imitative entryon a folk-ish tune, the clarinet seems to museat the song-like passing melodies. integratingthem with fast-fingered passagework.

Israeli soloist Eran Egozy did not seem tohave any difficulties with Nielsen's demandingscore, producing a very round and forceful tonewhen required - it was always beautiful. Hisglorious tone was wonderfully displayed in the Aardvark, Page 7

n front of the Boston Symphony Orches-tra, Seiji Ozawa performs an elaboratedance routine. His every move expresses agrand sweep of motion, as the orchestra

under his direction tries to respond to hissilent crying, "More! More!"

Berlioz's huge Requiem was an adequatetest of Ozawa's skills. The grand mass for thedead contains fury, triumph, and serenity in alltheir various shades. The music should evokethe contrasts between hushed prayer and out-burst. The sheer impact of the Last Judgmentshould engage listeners, pulling them into thepoetic portrayal of the fantastic occasion.

Aardvark, from Page 6 line. The trumpets picked up this line, andFunkhouser played a bowed-bass solo line.This led to a bass trombone solo by JeffMarsanskis, which was rather mournful. AsMarsanskis wove a somber mood, Harveypicked up his trumpet and added some other-worldly, high-pitched half-valved effects,which resolved into a duet between the Har-vey and Marsankskis.

After this, Peter Bloom played a wonderfulunaccompanied bass flute solo. By runningthe sound through a two-octave doubler (anelectronic effect), Bloom turned what is nor-mally an unremarkable sound into a veryarresting and dramatic solo. (As Bloom latertold me, the bass flute is primarily heard onJacques Cousteau programs when rnanta raysare featured, because the round, low toneimplies slow and m.majestic movements.'Sincehe is primarily a flute player (and not a dou-UnilIg sao:AUphonis}, 1d was a-le to play thCunwieldy instrument with lightning speed tomake an unforgettable jazz statement.

Near the end of the bass flute solo, JeanneSnodgrass added a flugelhorn line. The flutedropped out, and Joel Springer added tenorsax to the flugelhorn line. After the addition ofbari sax and trombone, the piece came to amomentary break, which was followed with arather dirge-like line.

This led to an unaccompanied alto sax

solo by Arni Cheatham (who is one of thebest saxophonists in Boston). This solo fea-tured flawless technique and dramaticdynamic changes to weave a rather sombermood. As Cheatham continued playing, theupright bass, drums, and other horns enteredone by one. Cheatham's solo grew in com-plexity, which much use of the altissiomorange of the horn.

After all of the orchestra entered, therewas another short break, which was fol-lowed by a rapid "hard bop" groove sectionfeaturing maniacal walking bass byFunkhouser. Brad Jones offered a nice barisax solo, during which he pulled all thestops out. He used multiphonics and veryhigh altissimo notes to great effect. Theother horns entered under Jones' solo, andJerry Edwards offered scat-style vocaliza-tions, reminiscent of the African world-

's tdc ttn 1ou Fe!s. This Ila to an intense

trombone solo by Bob Pilkington. As heplayed his solo, the saxes played a linewhich began in harmony and expanded toharmony. The trumpets came in, and Pilk-ington concluded his solo. The piece endedon this rather subdued note.

To conclude the evening, Aardvarkplayed "Freedom Song", which Harvey dedi-cated to the Nobel Peace Prize winners, Nel-son Mandela and F.W. DeKlerk. The piece

began with a dramatic, quick bass trornm-boneibari sax vamp, to which the saxesadded a nice counterpoint. The trumpets andtrombones/french horns added their owncounterpoint lines in turn, producing a pyra-mid effect.

When the pyramid was completed, thesound dissolved into an infectious groove.The trumpets (including Harvey) played asweet-sounding line above the groove. Thisled to a dramatic French horn solo by Sealy,who performed flawless improvisation on thedifficult-to-play horn. This lead to a reestab-lishment of the groove/trumpet melody toend the piece. The sound of this piece wasrather African in nature, appropriate to Har-vey's dedication.

Overall, the quality of this performancewas exceptionally good. The sound in thesmall auditorium was quite good, withdynamic changes clearly discernable. andgood balance. "Passages/Psalms II" is amajor contemporary jazz statement, whichshould be recorded and which is deserving ofa far wider audience than Saturday night'sdisappointing turnout. MIT is fortunate to beassociated with a jazz composer as formida-ble as Mark Harvey. All serious jazz fansshould hear Aardvark, as they are an impor-tant part of the activity at the frontiers of jazzmusic.

of all thirteen horns. This was very dramatic,and was further intensified by a musical duelbetween Bob Pilkington's trombone andMarshall Sealy's French horn. As this duelwent on, the established groove dissolvedcompletely, leading to a full-out free jazzsection.

A bit of digression. Free jazz is the com-monly accepted term for non-precomposedmusic. As one might imagine, this is difficultto coordinate between a few musicians, letalone nineteen. (Or, "Anyone can play freejazz, but few can make it sound good!") Aard-vark succeeds adnmirably in this respect, whichgives Harvey's compositions an almost unri-valed intensity. Because of virtuosity amongAardvark's members, the individual musi-cians know how to use their own instrumentto nest convey to the mood Harvey intends.Thus, far from being a collection of nineteencompeting voices, Aardvark's free jazz repre-sents simultaneous improvisation which meldstogether to produce some of the most intenseand thought-provoking new music beingplayed today.

The free jazz section dissolved into col-oration drumming by Wellott, featuringmoody cymbal playing. Over this, two flutesand the trombones played a chorale-sounding

U ins innl,still is the villain, and only after the teamaimost turns against hinm does he give in. Thisshows us how truly inspirational Rudy hasbeen to the team. The movie is inspirational.It shows us that if you want somethingenough and are willing to work for it, it cancome true.

The movie has a flaw or two. It is overlysentimental. Some of this is acceptable. It is astory with a happy ending, and happy endinghave a tendency to grow sappy. M uch of thesentimentally can be excused simply becauseof the fact that it is based on a true story. Allof the characters are developed and there isplenty of substance to the film. I also give athumbs up to the music score. It succeeds insetting the moments well throughout the film.Just the right amount of tension at just theright time.

Overall the movie is excellent. One of thebest sports movies I've seen, right up therewith The Natural and Field of Dreams. See it.It will make you happy.

is going to go to Notre Dame. Unfortunatelyeveryon.-e laughs at him, and tenls hirn that lie'sdreaming. He holds onto his dream, eventhough everyone around him tells him he's afool for thinking he can get in or afford NotreDame.

Austin's perfiormance in the film is tremen-dous. From the outset, we see him as a mandriven by a single desire in life. Everythingthat he does focuses on this. From the firsttime that he states his goal until the climax ofthe movie, we believe him and want him tosucceed.

Perhaps the most memorable scene, andthe one that sums up the feeling of the moviethe best is one where Rudy is sitting at the busstation about to leave for Notre Dame. Hisfather walks up and they begin to talk aboutdreams - about how sometimes holding ontodreams that cannot come true can just causepain to all the people around you who care foryou. To this Rudy replies that all of his lifepeople have told him what he can and cannot

do, and he always believed them, but that nnowhe needed to believe in himseil.

Ned Beatty plays the head groundskeeperat Notre Dame stadium. Soon after Rudy getsto South Bend, Ind. (home of Notre Dame) heseeks out Beatt and gets a job working in thestadium. Over time, the friendship betweenthe two of them grow. It is Beatty who keepsRudy from quitting and going home, eventhough he is not immediately accepted intoNotre Dame and must instead enroll in ajunior college.

All of the minor characters are well donealso. We get the feeling that the team actuallycares for this little 5-foot runt, who puts moreeffort into the team than all of the regularplayers. What adds a lot of clout to thismovie is the role of the coach who transfersin frorn the Green Bay Packers. He's a reallymean guy, and doesn't really care how hardRudy plays because the fact remains thatRudy has no talent. In the end, when it wouldbe a perfect time for him to play Rudy, he

Homecoming, from Page I homecoming game in their plans."MIT's first homecoming also

raised questions about whether theannual event would bring footballtoo much into the fore of the MITathletic program.

One alumnus who was involvedin athletics while at MIT said hewas concerned that forming a tradi-tion around football "relegates othersports to second class."

"When I came to MIT, the ath-letic department focused on partici-pation and providing a broad base ofsports and levels of play," he said.But he said that the emphasis seemsto be shifting away from encourag-ing students from playing sports towatching them.

Sports Information DirectorRoger Crosley had assured the MITcommunity when the football teamentered the NCAA that "football isno more and no less than any othersport at MIT."

But "the simple fact is, if we'regoing to have a ceremony like this,we can draw more people to foot-ball," Crosley said.

Whether or not football will gainpopularity to the detriment of otherMIT sports remains to be seen. Theathletic department as a whole hasgained respect in the past few yearsaccording to Ragucci, who feels thatthere is "more of a blend betweenathletics and academics."

definitely think it will become tradi-tion," said Henrik Martin '93,whose fencing prowess earned hima GTE award in 1992. Others alsoseemed to feel that this will catch onas an important feature on the MITsocial calendar in a few years.

Several events also took place inconjunction with homecomingweekend, including Head of theCharles regatta, other sports events,and a virtual reality exposition.

In addition, "A lot of the frater-nities have things going on thisweekend. They just aren't on cam-pus," Joyce said. "We hope that inthe future they will include the

"I try to come back [to the dor-mitory] a little earlier now," saidBaker resident Vinod Rarigarajan'97. "And if I'm out real late I try tocome back with somebody."

Professor of Mathematics David3. jOrison also likes the experimen-tal form. "it was generally betterthan the old one," he said. However,he pointed out that the new formdoes not readily allow for instructorresponse to student comments andcriticism.

"I like the new form because youknow how the instructor feels aboutyou," said Andrew Newberg '97."In my [humanities, arts, and socialscience] class, in which I used anold form, I just wrote somethingdown blankly."

Amidst the praise for the newform, however, Merritt said it is stilltoo early to tell whether or not theexperimental form has been a suc-cess. Once the UAAO receives allthe completed forms it will compre-hensively examine both types to seewhich was more effective, he said.

Merritt added that evaluationslater this year will probably use theexperimental form.

Merritt also noted that the use ofthe experimental forms would nothave been possible without the helpand cooperation from the instructorsand undergraduate offices.

Reaction to the new form hasgeneralyy been positive. CraigHorenstein '97 said the new formsare better because "you can seewhat [the instructors] think, and youcan respond to it."

Head coach Suzan Rowe said theteam had a great second half. "Thegame was in the second half essen-tially. In the first half, we playedvery good defense. In the secondhalf, the object of the game was toget the ball in the air and we didthat," she said.

intercepted a pass at the MIT 37-yard line. This set up the final MITtouchdown which occurred on a 28-yard fly pattern from Hur to DeLeonwith seven seconlds left in the half.A run on the fake point after attemptfailed, so the half ended with MITleading, 40-7.

In the second half, head coachDwight Smith removed many of thestarters on both offense and defensefrom play. However, the Beaverscontinued to dominate in the thirdquarter when, six minutes into thequarter, an MIT sack of Carven and

goal by Dan McGahn '94. PNo morescoring occurred in the gamealthough Nolan Duffin '94 inter-cepted a pass in the third quarterand Mike Longcor '96 recovered afumble to stall two Bison drives.

Overall, the team played quitewell. DeLeon ran for 211 yards on21 carries and would have brokenthe MIT individual game rushingrecord of 270 if the game had beenclose. However, he now has 844rushing yards and can easily surpass1,000 for the season.

DeLeon was not disappointedthat he missed breaking the MITrecord. "Actually, I just like playingball. I'm not going out there tobreak any records. I'm not greedy. Iunderstand that everyone wants toplay so this is the perfect opportuni-ty to get everyone to play," he said.

TIhe offensive line, or "Hogs"opened holes all day againstNichols' defensive line for the run-ning backs. Calvin Newman '96prevented the league's leadingreceiver, Chris Maher, from makinga catch, returned a blocked punt,and was named the ECFC defensiveplayer of the week.

MIT led in yardage overNichols, 382 to 224 but it couldhave been worse because theBeavers' defense allowed most ofthe yardage in the second half, withthe starting line-up on the sidelines.

Smith was pleased with theteam's performance. "Hard workplays off.... We've had ourrough times. Finally, it's pay-backtime. It's a nice afternoon and 1 wasglad for MIT. It's good for thehomecoming. A win is a win."

By Thomas KettlerSTAFF REPORTER

The football team played a prac-tically perfect football game Satur-day against the Bisons of NicholsCollege. The final score was 43-7but the game wasn't even that close;most of the MIT starters wereremoved after the beginning of thesecond half when the game wasalready decided.

The Beavers defeated the Bisonson offense, defense and specialtearns. The game raised MIT'srecord to 4-1-0 in the league and4-2-0 overall and ha.s set a matchagainst Bentley in two weeks for thewin of the Eastern Collegiate Foot-bail Conference, to take place hereat MIT.

In the first quarter, MIT scoredthree touchdowns and got an early20-{ lead against Nichols. JoseDeLeon '97 scored all the touch-downs on runs of two, four and anew school record of 86 yards,while the defense did not allowNichols to get one first down in thefirst quarter. The offense, while notattempting a pass. had 193 rushingyards in the quarter which alsoallowed the Beavers to control thebail for over ten minutes.

DeLeon described his run afterthe game: "I had my buddies besideme telling me that they wanted meto break the big one. Once I went inthere, I was determined to get agood one. i just went on the 34 blastand when I saw the hole, I just tookit and I was gone."

In the second quarter, MIT con-tinued to score while Nichols got itsonly points of the game. The Bisonsscored their only points on a 3 1-yard pass from Bill Carven to MarkPrimavera four minutes into thequarter. Primavera then convertedthe point after attempt.

MIT answered with a 51-yarddrive highlighted by a seven-yardtouchdown run by quarterback JohnHur '94.

Afer this, the special teams par-ticipated in the massacre as CalPerez '97 blocked a Nichols puntand Calvin Newman '96 recoveredthe block and returned it thirteenyards for another Beaver touch-down.

After the ensuing kickoff, Perez

1-0, with a goal by Andres Vil-laquiran 997 on an assist by AttilaLengyel'94.

The offense continued to presshard after the goal was scored, butto no avail. In the effort to wrestcontrol of the ball, both sides playedeven rougher than in the first half.Both teams' players tripped, tack-led, pushed, and fell many times.

The intensity caused the refereesto issue a yellow card, for seriousinfractions, to both an MIT playerand a Clark player during the sec-ond half. Even the Clark goalie wasinvolved, as he toppled Jason Grap-ski '94 with 27:52 left in the game.He did not receive a penalty for thisaction, which angered many of theMIT nlavyrc an the. cidplino-e

Things turned around for Clarkin the last quarter of the game. Clarkevened the score at 1-1 with 13:19left. After a long punt by the goaliepassed the MIT defenders, a charg-ing Clark player took the ball andeasily scored.

After that goal, Clark continuedto play on the offense, and after sev-eral misses, the same Clark playerscored again at 6:40. This time, hereceived the ball slightly ahead ofmid-field, and ran the remaininglength of the field before kicking theball out of reach of Jindal.

With time running out, MIT stillmade desperate attempts to tie thescore. Even with less than two min-utes left in the game, the offensedrove hard toward the Clark goal.The attacking MIT players spent theclosing seconds trying to score, but

both passes and shots were off-tar-get. In that last-minute play, theinability to score was as evident asit was in the entire game.

With the exception of the twogoals allowed, Jindal performedrather well throughout the game,and played for its duration. He madeseven saves, which included someclose calls for the opponent, andwas able to quickly move the ballout of MIT's half of the field manytimes.

On the team's performance inthe game, coach Walter Alessi saidthat, "They played well enough tolose." He also commented that MITcontrolled most of the game and hadchances to score, but just could not.;t toe uan! l/. - n h goal. Itvia o.r ~Lg .

scoring opportunities could not beconverted, because of offsides callsand shots that simply missed thegoal.

The game ended a busy week forthe Engineers. On Tuesday, theylost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Tufts Uni-versity. On Thursday, they rebound-ed to shut out Curry College, 3-0,despite a sub-par performance.Rainfall hours before that gamemade a wet playing field, whichproduced much slipping and sliding,and many disagreeable calls by thereferees.

The team concludes its seasonthis week, with two more games.Yesterday, it played Gordon Col-lege at MIT. The season finale willtake place Saturday at 2:30 p.m., athome, against the U.S. Coast GuardAcademy.

By Dan WangSTA FF REPORTER

On Saturday, the men's soccerteam lost a close game to Clark Uni-versity, 2-1, at Steinbrenner Stadi-um. T1 he Engineers seemed to havecontrol throughout most of thegame, but lost it in the late part ofthe second half, in a game whichfeatured skillful ball-handling,rough playing, and some poor offi-ciating.

Both sides played at a fast pacefrom the outset of the game, andcontinued doing so for most of thefirst half. The teams frequentlytraded offensive and defensiveroles, with MIT spending slightlymore time on the attack. But neitherteam was able to score, despitemany opportunities. Most of thetime, the ball either landed outsideof the goal, or within reach of thegoalies.

At halftirne, neither team hadscore. Both teams were unable topenetrate their opponent's defense,as both Clark and MIT took onlythree shots on goal. MIT goalie RajaJindal '95 made only one save (theother shots missed the goal), onefewer than the two Clark saves.

MIT seemed to show controlthroughout the early part of the sec-ond half. Most of the time wasspent in offense, with the help ofthe defense to change the directionof the ball. However, the team stillhad trouble scoring, evern sendingthree shots over the top of the Clarkgoal. With 28 minutes, 42 secondsleft in the game, MiT took the lead,

By Christopher Chlu on the Beavers, Vicki Tardif '97combined with an assist from LauraWalker '97 to score and tie thematch.

Unfortunately, in overtimeWPl's offense kept the pressure on,and accumulated two successivepenalty corner hits. MIT's defensesurvived the first bullet but wasunable to escape the second.

This also brings up the key prob-lem for the Beavers - they failed tocapitalize on numerous WPI penal-ties. MIT had an astounding 15 totalcorner hits, but only managed toscore an embarrassing one goal.Thus, despite their energetic play,they were unable to convert theirefforts into points.

MIT will now regroup for theirnext contest, a Monday afternoonclash with Anna Maria College.

Despite a strong comeback effortin the second half, the women'sfield hockey team lost in overtime toWorcester Polytechnic Institute,2-1.

It was a hard-fought contestfrom start to finish. The first halfwas particularly well-fought, andwas marked by good passing onboth sides. Nevertheless, WPIgained the upper hand on offenseand scored off Christy Hinkley'sgoal with 12 minutes, 28 secondsremaining, thanks to an assist fromDanielle Luongo.

In the second half, MIT made adetermined comeback, makingnumerous shots on goal; in that halfalone, the team out shot WPI 8-3.Eventually, with time running out
