Photo by Dave Green Eight houses had shut down their rush desks by mid- afternoon Wednesday, indicating that they had closed the book on the 1973 rush season. More houses were expected to follow suit shortly (several had already exceeded their pledge goals), and only three houses remained on the "trouble list" of houses sig- nificantly underpledged. Of these, only one appeared to be seriously below its goal. A special situation was pre- sented by the two fraternities (ATO and KS) which will move to new houses on the Cambridge side of the river next January. They will live in their old houses until then, although with some overcrowding. However, this fact does not seem to have hurt their rush, nor did the fact that they will soon be in Cambridge seem to help it. Stargardt looked back at the past several days and com- mented that although rush week started slowly on FridAy and Saturday, things had picked up and were now only slightly be- hind last year. He pointed out that, considering the small size of this year's freshman class, the proportion of freshmen pledging fraternities was approaching a record and might well break the previous record rush. He attrib- uted this to the "higher quality" of this year's class, This, he explained, means than an un- usually large number of them were of the type that would "fit into the fraternity system." Meanwhile, the frosh who did not pledge fraternities were re- ceiving their dormitory assign- m e nts. Burton House, East Campus, and MacGregor House were oversubscfibed by men, while Burton and McCormick were most popular with women. According to Bonny Kellerman of the Dean's Office, there re- mained only about ten or twelve "limbo frosh" by Wednesday afternoon, homes having already been found fox about 60 of them since the initial room as- signments were made on Tues- day morning. A "limbo frosh" is a freshman who could not be assigned a place in any of his first four dormitory choices. His room assignment is temporarily held up in hopes that a place will open up for him in one of his top choices before the end of the week. At press time, it was anticipated that all could be accomodated with about the' same degree of overcrowding as last year, but the final outcome depends critically on the nlumber of freshmen who do eventually choose to live in fraternities. ;htly al of 'man ined thers fra- rush [ mi- -mal.

He did refer to an article which appeared in The Tech on March 2, which predicted a 1974-75 tuition of between $3,250 and $3,400; it was based on Gray's best estimates at that time.

According to Gray, MIT took advantage of the delay in an- nouncing the new tuition rate to consider again the entire tuition- setting process.

JUDA~IC STUDIES FOR

domestic effects of the letngaFtUS involvement in the conflict.

Only 24.9 per cent of therespondants said Vietnam "hascaused deep rooted social divi-sions within the United Stateswhich are. not reconciliable,"while over 59 per cent repliedthe war caused divisions, butdivisions which will be recon-ciled.

The Vietnam researchers alsofound anti-war activity by MITstudents between the years 1966and t973 to be more extensivethan originally estimated.

A total of 53.5 per cent ofthe respondants to the surveysaid they participated in anti-waractions during the eight-yearperiod, and researcher 3amesShort G added the levels ofparticipation in anti-war actionsover the eight years follows acurve of increasing US involve-ment up to 1970, after whichthe level of activity declined.

Overall, the MIT studentswere almost evenly split over theeffectiveness of anti-war actions.Only 12 per cent of the studentslabeled the anti-war movementas having no effect at all oneither hastening or preventing aVietnam settlement, althoughthe Study Group said 48.7 percent credited the "movement"with bringing the war t o anearlier end.

The study was funded by theMIT Undergraduate ResearchOpportunities Program (UROP).

The Vietnam peace accordswere signed in Paris last January27, ending US involvement in awar that had raged on in South-east Asia for more than 20 years.

However, a recent survey in-dicates MIT students do nothave much confidence in theaccords ensuring political sta-bility or peace in Indochina.

Results of a survey by theVietnam Study Group of theDepartment of Political Scienceshowed an overwhelming major-ity of MIT undergraduate andgraduate students were criticalof the way the Nixon Admin-istration settled US involvementin the Vietnam conflict.

The survey sample consistedof 1100 MIT students, and ofthe 500 students who respondedto the poll, project coordinatorsreported 85.5% said they be-lieved the accords did not pro-vide for permanent stability inSoutheast Asia.

"Most of the respondants didnot agree with the way the USended its involvement in thewar. However, they also did notbelieve the war caused ir-reparable damage to the UnitedStates image abroad," the StudyGroup reported.

Researchers said the surveyresults indicated MIT studentswere not worried about the

By Jack AndersonWASHINGTON - On the day Thomas

Jefferson was inaugurated third Presidentof the United States, he arose in a smallWashington rooming house, dressedhimself plainly, walked like an ordinarycitizen to the site of the inaugurationceremony, delivered a speech aboutsubordination of government toindividual rights and then walked back tohis boarding house.

Upon entering the dining room, hefound that all the seats at the table wereoccupied. No one was asked to give up hisseat and no one offered the new Presidenta place. Accepting the democratic prin-ciple of first-come-first-served, Jeffersonwent up to his room without his dinner.

He was not a clodhopper, unused tothe amenities, but one of the world'ssophisticates, a man of wealth, the masterof a great plantation. Yet in his publiccapacity, he was determined to impart anexample of simplicity and subservience.

Somewhere between Thomas Jeffersonand Richard Nixon, our homely tribuneshave developed a hankering to transformthe American Republic into a monarchyand themselves from servants intosovereigns.

Consider the scene at one of PresidentNixon's state dinners. His entry into theEast Room of the White House washeralded by the blast of trumpets. TheMarine buglers wore scarlet tunics fes-tooned with gold braid; banners weredraped from their elongated trumpets.

At the sound of the fanfare, thePresident descended the grand staircase,

with the First Lady on his arm, while theMarine band played him down with pro-cessional music. Mr. Nixon took deli-berate, measured steps, beaming bene-volently in the manner of monarchs. Ashe entered the East Room, the bandsnapped into "Ruffles and Flourishes,"followed by the traditional "FHail to theChief."

Later, when the Nixons passed fromthe East Room into the dining room, trimmilitary aides bedecked with medals andbraids stood starchily at attention in tworows. The dinner guests were surroundedall evening by an impressive swirl ofmilitary uniforms. In addition to thedashing military aides, various militarymusical units serenaded the guests. Allthe while, white-gloved Negro waitersscurried about with trays full of deli-cacies.

We may not fully perceive the moraldegradation inherent in all the splen-dorous monarchial trappings now sur-rounding the presidency, complete downto the detail of medieval trumpets, untilwe look back toward our national origins.

Sixty years after Jefferson, AbrahamLincoln continued the example of sim-plicity sufficiently that a British am-bassador could be shocked by comingupon Lincoln in the White House shininghis own shoes.

Lincoln would often answer the WhiteHouse door. He would travel on foot tothe various departments to deliver hisinstructions and to get their reports.

For recreation, he did not repair tokingly estates across the continent butcontented himself with riding horsebackalone around Washington, quite unpro-tected, even though he had been shot at

and knew men were out to kill him.It was painful for Lincoln to refer to

himself as "the President" and he wouldgo through great circumlocutions to getaround that phrase. He signed his letters"your obedient servant." Though com-pelled by events sometimes to assumealmost dictatorial powers, he was onewith Jefferson in glorifying not thegovernment of majesty and omnipotencewe see today but, as every schoolboyknows, government "of the people, bythe people and for the people."

Material perquisites have become anindex of greater and greater accretions ofpower over the public.

The "reductio ad absurdum" wasMartha Mitchell with her own office andstaff, FBI agents ironing her frocks,government limousines and chauffeurs ather beck, while her husband presided overthe plan to break in, burgle and wiretaphis political opponents.

Or Chief Justice Warren Burger askingthat a gold carpet be rolled out beforehim as he entered the Supreme Courtchamber and for a government mansionto house his imperial presence.

Permeating it all is the odor of pseudo-divinity with which government thesedays surrounds itself; its denial, whereverit can get away with it, of the fight of thecitizen to know or of the press to publish;its reflex hostility to every attempt tohold it to account or even to question itsmotives.

The nadir of this movement is seen inthe Nixon Administration: the inac-cessible President trying to evoke aGaullist presence; the programmatic lyingto the public; the scorn for the press; thebattalions of courtier-sycophants, loyal

Compiled by Paul Schindler(The administration, the faculty and thenews office were all busy over the sum-mer, making news. Some of the news hasbeen condensed and appears below.)

CTSS' Final CrashCTSS (Compatible Time Sharing

System) crashed for the final time thissummer. Its IBM 7094 went off line July20, after 12 years of... service. It isbeing replaced by Multics. The 7094,with callous disregard for sentiment, wassold to a used equipment dealer.

Course XXVDr. Louis Howard, professor of mathe-

matics, now heads the interdisciplinaryscience course. 27 students set up theirown "general sciefice" major last year.

Class GiftShowing a lot of class, the class of

1923 gave MIT a little over $8 million onthe occasion of its 50th reunion. That's$7 million over the previous record. Theclass of '33 gave a healthy $816,371, andthe class of '48 gave $597,560.

Recent Classes RepLarry Storch '71 is the new repre-

sentative of recent classes on the MITCorporation. He has already served oneyear in the post; he is currently enrolledat Harvard Law School.

CommencementNinety-nine women (a record) were

among the 1290 people (840 under-graduates) who were given 1450 degreesat MIT on June 1.

Dr. Jerome Wiesner, president of theInstitute, told the 4500 people at theceremony in Rockwell Cage that societyneeds to develop processes by whichsolutions to social problems can be foundand put less emphasis on sometimesunreachable goals.

THIE WIZARD OF ID

The day before, Dick Gregory told aClass Day crowd of seniors gathered inKresge to "understand who you are andwhat you're all about."

WomenOne hundred years ago, Ellen S.

Richards was the first woman to graduatefrom MIT. In honor of that occasion, theInstitute provided seed money for afaculty chair named aftei her. They arelooking to complete the funding, so afemale professor can be appointed fromany of the five schools to the post, underthe supervision of the Provost.

The first female officer started work inthe MIT Campus Patrol over the summer.She is Maureen Twomney.

The first woman professor in the MITAthletic department was appointed thissummer. She is Mary-Lou Sayles, and willbe director of women's athletics. She hasmade an increased number of women'ssports her top priority.

Minority Post OpenJames C. Allison, Jr., assistant to the

Chancellor for Minority Affairs, took aleave of absence for work at the HarvardGraduate School of Education, effectiveJuly 1. Allison has been in this and asimilar previous post since 1968. Noreplacement has yet been found.

Chancellor Paul Gray expressed theInstitute's appreciation for Allison's "val-uable and dedicated service."

Enemies ListMIT has more people on the enemies

list than any other organization. The listwas compiled by aides of PresidentNixon. According to a summer article inScience magazine, the Institute was morethan just listed.

The article, reprinted in the BostonGlobe and the Washington Post, quotes

The Wizard of Id appears daily and Sunday in The Boston Globe

memos to H.R. Haldeman and from JohnEhrlichman which mention an order byNixon to "cut back on MIT's subsidy inview of Wiesner's anti-defense bias."

Two more professorsAll sorts of faculty promotions were

announced over the summer - but twostood out, mainly because some peoplehadn't even realized that J. HerbertHollomon and Richard Leacock weren'tfull faculty members with permanentappointments. They are now.

HEW Approves Affirmative ActionAfter being found out of compliance

with HEW regulations in 1972, and aftera brief contract cancellation scare at theend of March, 1973, the Institute's Affir-mative Action plan has been approved inglowing terms by the government. "Insome aspects the Institute has gonebeyond minimum standards ofcompliance, and should be commended,"said a letter from an HEW official. Ithappened, Friday, July 20.

NNSGThe Network NJews Study Group,

associated with the Department of Poli-tical Science, reported this summer thatthe civil rights of the highest executiveare no safer than those of the loweststreet criminal.

The group reached the conclusionafter analyzing network TV coverage ofthe Watergate matter, especially coveragesince April 30, when those involved eitherquit or were fired.

EE MovesThe Electrical Engineering Department

only to "the presidency"; the claim ofinherent power to bomb, make war,impound money, spend without appro-priations; the wallowing in the panoply ofneo-Kaiserism down to the comic operauniforms, with white jackets and pointedplastic hats, that Nixon once presumed todeck the White House police in.

Around the Kaiser are grouped thebureaucratic princes who each year aremore impenetrable, more impervious topublic control and more prone toMussolini-style suites; and the con-gressional barons, ever building their pri-vate fiefdoms while surrendering legiti-mate powers of the people to theExecutive.

There is still an occasional Senateelder, like Sam Ervin, D.-N.C., or GeorgeAiken, R-Vt., who lives simply in somehostel near the Capitol and goes about hisbusiness with a minimum of pomp, pre-sumption and freeloading. But theancient regime restored can be seen inmost government enclaves.

There is a sore need for a newskepticism toward the claims ofomniscience and omnipotence whichpoliticians are wont to make. So should itbe with every citizen of the Republic, andespecially with every journalist.

In the concluding weeks ofthe spring term and during thesummer, the faculty and theCommittee on Educational Pol-icy (CEP) reached some decis-ions of importance to students.These are summarized below.

Summer creditAs ennunciated by the CEP,

"It is the present policy of theInstitute that a person not beassigned additional units of MITacademic credit for work donein a period when that person isnot registered as a student at theInstitute. The only exceptions tothis policy are awards of transfercredit.

"Persons who hope to receiveunits of credit for work whichthey plan to do this summershould register as students andpay tuition."

Special freshman programsConcourse and the Exper-

Trafor(speoftedRotappIncMAIntEBostrotandFor

imental Study Group requested"authorization to continue asalternative modes of educationfor first year students." Con-course is in its second year, ESGin its fourth. The third program,Freshman Project Year, has noplans for continuing during thecoming academic year.

The CEP reported "both ESGand Concourse, as presently con-stituted, represent viable altern-atives through which studentsmay fulfill the General InstituteRequirements." The statementcontinues to say that the exper-iment is valuable in providing avariety of teaching and learningexperiences.

However, "because there arestill certain experimental aspectsto. these programs, however, weare not.:ready to bring them tothe faculty for a vote on theircontinuation as permanent

features of the undergraduatecurriculum. Rather, we have de-cided to continue both programsfor a maximum of three years,with the CEP retaining the op-tion of re-evaluating. either orboth of the programs at anypoint during this period."

MIT-Wellesley ExchangeThe CEP has made three rec-

ommendations on the Exchange,subsequent to its approval bythe faculty at the April meeting.

1) A joint Wellesley-MIT ad-'visory committee, appointed bythe Presidents, from studentsand faculty and administratorswould advise in policy matters.

2) At MIT, administrativeresponsibility for the Exchangewill reside in the Office of theProvost. Information about op-portunities for study at otherschools. may..be disseminated.

3) The next review of. theExchange will be jointly plannedby the CEP and the advisorycommittee, beginning in twoyears.

Domestic Year AwayThe Domestic Year Away

Program, established as a three-year CEP-sponsored experimentin the 1970 fall term, enablesstudents to spend one or twoterms studying at another USschool.

To be eligible, students "mustbe accepted by a school of estab-lished academic merit. Theymust show that the objectives oftheir planned program of studyare consistent with their overalld egree program at MIT...Students must also demonstrateand have certified by their de-partment that their planned pro-gram of study draws on re-sources available at the secondinstitution which are not gen-erally available at MIT or anyinstitution with which MIT hassubstantial cross-registration

privileges." Participation is cus-tomarily during the junior year.

Only a few students havetaken advantage of the program,"but the CEP believes that theProgram has offered a valuableexperience to those participatingin it... Rather than make arecommendation regarding per-manent status for the program atthis time, the CEP will continuethe Domestic Year Away as anexperiment pending conclusionof a more general examinationof credit, residence and ex-change issues."

citing travel, exotic meals andhard work? All this and morecan be yours if you join one ofthe more than 30 MIT intercol-legiate athletic teams.

You probably already knowthat MIT has more varsity sportsthan any other college in thecountry and that it has a uniqueathletic philosophy (see TheTech, summer issue 1973), so wewon't belabor the point here.What we would like to conveyare some of the benefits thatparticipation in athletics, formalor informal, can bring.

Athletics at MIT are not justfor those who were active onvarious teams in high school;you're not expected to arrivehere ready for competition inthe Olympics. The woman whowon the nationals in women's

intercollegiate sailing two out ofthe last three years had neversailed before she came to MIT.

All this serves to prove apoint - MIT is interested inteaching you something, notonly about your mind, but yourbody as well, and they don'twant it to be a painful lesson.Physical education classes atMIT are not at all like those inmost high schools. Here, learningboth to enjoy and to be profi-cient at some athletic activity(and the athletic department of-fers a large variety of courses,including folk dancing and rockclimbing) are .the most impor-tant things, not competition.For those people who want tocompete, the teams are there,but no one other than yourselfcan pressure you into joining.

All undergraduates are re-quired to complete eight points

of physical education in order tograduate, and this requirementalways causes some grumbling.However, don't be surprised ifyou join the hundreds of stu-dents who have taken far nmorethan the number of requiredcourses simply because they areso much fun.

I could go on and on, but Ithink that the best way for youto understand sports at MIT is totry them, and a good time tostart is tonight at the AthleticsMidway in Rockwell Cage from7-10 pm. All of the coaches,who double as phys ed instruc-.tors, will be there, along withmembers of their teams, to ant-swer any questions that you mayhave about any aspects of athlet-ics at MIT.

And don't forget theintramurals!

By Mitchell L. GreenLabor Day weekend at the

Bryar Nationals Joel Bradley Gdrove his MIT Team Pinto to anoverall win over a field of Show-room Stock Sedans and SportsCars. Dave Ziegelheim '75 fin-ished fourth.

The winning MIT Pinto, spon-sored by Arlington Ford of Ar-lington, Mass., finished ahead ofa field of several Opels, Datsuns,Pintos, and the very quick Por-sche driven by Larry Snover.

The first practice session be-gan in a drizzle Saturday morn-ing. Joel Bradley took his Pintoout and recorded a fast lap of1:36.8. The afternoon was dry,so Joel went out again and gotdown to a 1:34.8, one fullsecond under the lap record. Thelast qualifying session on Mon-day allowed Snover's Porsche toturn a 1:35.4. The MIT Pintoschose to sit out, adjusting the

brakes and making final prep-arations.

Joel's 1:34.8 earned him thepole, followed by SnoveT's Por-sche, Marvin Gray's Opel, NormHill's Datsun, Bob De Gers-dorff's Pinto, Dave Ziegelheim'sMIT Pinto, and a group of otherPintos and Datsuns.

Joel led from the start, fol-lowed closely by the Porsche,with the Open farther back. Onlaps four and five De Gersdorffworked his Pinto into fourthahead of Hill's Datsun, and onlap six Hill pitted with a lockingrear brake.

On laps seven and eight,Snover challenged Joel, pullingthe Porsche alongside. Joel, how-ever, out-drove Snover, and inthe righthand hairpin just beforethe start/finish when the Porschetried to pass, it went too deep,spun, and fell back to third.

Joel took the checkered flagafter 19 laps for an verage speedof 60 MPH and setting a new laprecord of 1:35.4. The Porschecame back to take second, andDave Ziegelheim brought theother MIT Pinto in for fourth inclass.

Twenty-three classes of carswere organized in nine races atthe Bryar Nationals. Paul New-
