life of many students has beenenhanced by the wider-than-.usual selection. In' addition tosections on sports, living groups,activities, and the usual seniorpictures, there is a section- onacademia.

It shows people doing what Iassume most people do herewhen they are not in class. Ican't be sure, considering howmuch time I spent in the StudentCenter as an undergraduate. Thissection contains a photographof the lab of- your choice, per-fectly capable, one assumes ofevoking whatever pleasant mem-ories you 'may have along thatline.

For the first time in recentmemory, Technique abandonedits spring delivery date. Thusseniors, while being unable to-pick up their books in personbefore graduation, get picturesof commencement and of spring-time events. And Techniqueloses out on the dubiouspleasure of biting its collectivenails every year waiting for theprinter to make tight deadlines.

The book still suffers, in theopinion of this wordsmith, froma lack of text. Not a lack really

-a near total dearth.Yet, even here, some progress

is being made. There are, asthere were last year, sections ofsports records, activity rosters,and senior capsule descriptions,It is gqod to see them again, andhopefully they are here to stay.

In addition, the picture selec-tion is less cryptic than usual, sothat even without captions, alarge percentage are easy to

understand and enjoy. The fewwords, of text by Chip Piatti, at

the beginning and in the essay"Working at Fun," are lyricallow in content and non-explan-atory. The effect is pleasant and

again, a step in the right direc-tion.

Which is not to say that thereshould be captions, or the sillytext one finds in so many year-books, or-even the massive andsober texts used until 1972. Justcompromise; a little text, hereand there.

So kudos to editor Mary AnnSchmidt and her band ofcrazies for a good book, if not agreat one. It can provide, formost, a convenient and compactwalk down memory lane, 1975style.

last massive MIT commitment toactivities.

Although the demand formoney is probably flexibleenough to be considered infinite,there is seldom enough to meeteven the reasonable demands.The same goes for space, despitethe existance of the less-desi-rable never-air - conditionedWalker Memorial building.

What you need to knowabout student activities is that

By Paul Schindler(Michael McNamee, editor

of Vo L 95, didn't get back fromIndiana in time. The editor ofVoL 93 was prevailed upon tostep out of retirement and writethis column.}

Freshman are probablytired of being told what theyshould know. Sophomores aresure they know everything, jun- Iiors suddenly realize they knownothing, and seniors don't care.

But since classes haven't.started yet, the faculty has notyet begun its annual quest toFind -innovative new ways tobore you in sterile lecture halls.It is clear you are suffering froma very special kind of ennui tobe reading the editorial pagesomewhere outside a Tuesday orFriday morning lecture. So, theeffort here will be to entertainand inform painlessly, and, ifpossible, to impart what wisdomis available from a Sloan Schoolgraduate with two years perspec-tive on what it's all about. This,then, is what you need to knowabout MIT.

ActivitiesSometimes referred to as

extra-curricular, once dubbedthe "'sixth school" (the otherfive are architecture, engineer-ing, science, humanities andmanagement), known to stu-dents as a "time sink," known tosome faculty as a "poor excuse"and known to nurds not at all,are the one-hundred and someodd student activities.

The range of interests is large,.and covered thoroughly else-where (the Freshman Hand-book). The location of thissection near the top of thisarticle is intended to indicate therelative importance some of usattach to escape from tooling'(studying).

For some, the escape is total.For all, it is welcome. For most,it is essential. Continuous tool-ing tends to turn people eitherinto nurds or medical schoolstudents. Persons who wish toavoid such a fate seek normalhuman companionship on a fieldof common interest.

Things are not easy foractivities. Despite the fact thatformer Dean for Student AffairsJ. Daniel Nyhart coined the"sixth school" concept in aneffort to sell the utter necessityof activities to the rest of theMIT community, many facultyconsider them a distraction fromthe only worthwhile activity atMIT, academic work.

The construction of the now-sometimes air conditioned (ener-gy crunch, you know) StrattonStudent Center in 1965 was the

valid verity is the old saw thatsays you will probably get alongwith just about any group ofMIT students you choose to livewith.

Hopefully, you heeded thatadvice during rush week to keepdown your paranoia about pick-ing the "right" living group.Hopefully,.if you are an upper-classmen you will not be laugh-ing too hard. And remember, itonly says get along. Some peopleget along a lot, some people getalong a little.

Your house is like a sewer;you get out of it what you putinto it. If you invest a lot oftime, you- will find it anenriching personal experience. Ifall' the time you spend there isspent asleep or otherwise inco-herent, you will find that therelationships are no better thanthose you usually make whenyou are unconscious..

Don't forget, when you leave,to ask for your room depositback. No one will remind you

! .that they owe you money. Sincet -MIT has the usual bureaucratic

fondness for giving you backsomething that belongs to youby rights, start asking for it inabout-the middle of your senioryear ff you want it by the timeyou graduate.

Finally, if someone is playingloud music that makes it impos-sible to study, go and ask thempolitely to turn it down. If theydon't, reverse the wires on onespeaker so they're out of phase.-That will show them.

you have to decide, preferablybefore you join one, what youwant out of life at MIT. Chancesare, if you pick an activity thatsounds interesting, there will begreat inducement for you tospend a lot of time there. If youcan handle the academics easily,or don't care -about being aserious academic, take theplunge.

Law school hopefuls shouldkeep in mind the desirability ofa massive and varied list ofactivities on the upcoming appli-cation, without overlooking thefact that some enjoyment maybe derived from participation.

In closing, let it be noted.that, for many, the -pleasantavocation of an activity cangrow, eventually, to become themost significant part of th6irMIT experience. For some, itbecomes their life work. Don'tcut yourself off from an arearipe with potential for personalgrowth.

you can do the work.Those of you who have

already advance-placed all yourcourses for the coming year mayskip the rest ofthis section. For

interested as you are in seeingthat you learn something.

What you need to know isthat many faculty desire closenon°classroom contact with theirstudents.

/Continued from page 41

you are seated on rows OfHP-65s and the nodding heads ofpre-meds who were up all nightgetting ready to AP the next twoyears, it may seem impossible tobelieve that MIT has a revolu-tionary heritage.

For some reason, officialpublications often ignore thefact that MIT provided much ofthe organizational muscle thatmade the 1970 student strike(after the Kent State murders)go so well. They are also in thehabit of forgetting to mentionthe once large and active SDSchapters, the anti-death ScienceAction Coordinating Committeeand other organizations whichonce attempted to check MIT'sability to create new modes ofmega-death.

But in fact, from 1968 until1972, -during what has becomeknown as the "time of trou-bles," the predecessors oftoday's tooling fools took part in anti-war demonstrations,marched in the streets, and onceeven took a day off from classesto consider great issues. It wascalled the Agenda Days, and ofcourse some people sought apartial tuition refund.

The student center served as asanctuary for a draft dodger ttheFBI came and got him), studentsdisrupted official functions and-they demonstrated against theDraper Labs' (once a part ofMIT) for several days known asthe November Actions.

For that, the UndergraduateAssociation President was kickedout. For that, students occupiedthe office of then-MIT president(now chairman) HowardJohnson. When Nixon minedHaiphong in 1972, there wasanother .strike, -and ROTC wasoccupied. But since the disci-pline 'ommittee hearings atwhich the charges were effective-ly dismissed, the apathy hasbeen massive.

Finally, there is then-provost,former Kennedy science advisor,former Dean of Science, nowPresident Jerome B. Wiesner,anti-war early and a leader of thescientists that put a damper onABM. He has been an advocateof disarmament since the late1950'sj As president, he has saidthat he feels public protests areno longer appropriate.

But we have it on goodauthority that he is still writingletters to people that count, let-ting them know how he feels.Right on, closet-revolutionaryJerry Wiesner!

Today, even so-called "nonl-technical" courses(psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari-ety of technical calculations-complicated cal-culations that become a whole lot easier whenyou have a powerful pocket calculator.

Not surprisingly, there are quite a few suchcalculators around, but ours stand apart, andahead. We started it all when we introduced theworld's first scientific pocket calculator back in1972, and we've shown the way ever since.

The calculators you see here are our newest,the first of our second generation.Both offeryoutechnology you probably won't find in compet-itive calculators for some time to come, if ever.

Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log andtrig calculations, including rectangular/polarconversions and common antilog evaluations.

It's display is fully formatted, so you can choosebetween fixed decimal and scientific notation.

Our HP-25 does all that-and much, muchmore. It's programmable, which means it cansolve automatically the countless repetitiveproblems every science and engineering studentfaces.

With an HF-25, you enter the keystrokesnecessary to solve the problem only once.Thereafter, you just enter the variables andpress the Run/Stop key for an almost instantanswer accurate to 10 digits.

Before you invest in a lesser machine, by allmeans do two things: ask your instructorsabout the calculations their courses require; andsee for yourself how effortlessly our calculatorshandle them.

Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almostcertainly on display at your bookstore. If not,call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif.800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealernear you.

Bzy Doug Johnston(Doug Johnston '76 is a mem-

ber of the MIT heavyweightcrew.)

The MIT varsity heavyweightcrew brought their spring seasonto a close with two weeks ofinternational competition , inEngland. Makig the trip werefour members of the varsityeight, who qualified for supportmoney from the US OlympicCommittee by meeting a timestandard, and the second varsityeight, winners of the 1975 Inter-collegiate Rowing Associationchampionship.

On June 28, the first day ofthe Nottinghamshire Interna-tional Regatta, the four poweredtheir way to a victory in theElite division. The eight finishedlast in their Elite race, afterhaving practiced in six borrowedboats in six days.

The following day, the fourcompeted in the same event inthe Guinness InternationalTrophy, against boats fromEngland, East Germany, Canada,Egypt, and other countries, butwere unable to make the finals.The eight rowed in the Elite IIdivision, for international boatsjust below the national teamlevel. They were able to makethe final six in the eleven-boatfield, and finished fifth in thefinals.

The 136th annual HenleyRoyal Regatta began on July 3.All competition in the regatta ishead-to-head single eliminationon the 1 5/16 mile two-lanecourse.

MIT drew a bye and skippedthe first round of competition inthe Prince Philip Cup for elitefours. The eight, entered in theLadies Challenge Plate, a 32-boatevent for colleges and univer-sities throughout the world, wonby a length over Trinity Collegeof Dublin, after narrowly avoid-ing disqualification for rowingout of their lane.

in the second eliminationround, the eight won an easy 2½hlength victory over The Univer-sity of Witwatersrand.

The four was eliminated inthe quarterfinals by Vesper BoatClub in a race they led most ofthe way. Both American crewsrows a similar high-stroking race,with MIT slightly faster off thestart, and the Vesper four a littlebetter in the last half-mile.

By David SchallerThe MIT auto club is planning several changes in priorities for

the coming year. As of the middle of October, 'we' will be runningonly one car in Showroom Stock racing, enabling us to concentratein other forms of competition, rallying, and autocrossing.' If you areinterested il any form of auto sports, drop by our booth tonight inthe student center.

Early Monday morning, members of the auto club took offtoward Lime Rock, Connecticut, for the Labor Day National AutoRace. With the Opel of Dave Ziegelheim, and the Pinto of Ed,Gardner entered, prospects seemed good for an exciting race. As itturned out, Ed cancelled out since he hadn't finished moving, andDave finished a disappointing ninth out of fourteen.

However the day was not a total loss, as Steve Cairns '74,Started on the pole in thie Showroom Stock race, and led for all butsix of the 25 laps. A member of the auto club until his graduation,Steve has been runnin quite well this past year, with a second placein August at the Summit Point National, and first place at the LaborDay National.

Another MIT Alumnus, John Kelly '56, drove his Group 44Midget 1500 to a strong second place finish, after chasing theSpitfire of Ken Slagle to the flag in the F Production race.

Coming events 'in the next weeks include:Sept. 20 Showroom Stock race at Lime RockOct..3-5 Watkins Glen Grand Prix, Watkins Glen, NY

-Oct. 1 1 Car and Driver Showroom Stock Challenge
