VOLUME 91, NUMBES 2Z FRIDAY, MAY 21,1971 MIT. CAMBRIDGE., MASSACHUSETTS FIVE CENTSI

By Lee GiguereThe thrust of the report of

the Ad Hoc Committee on thePrivacy of Information at MIT isthat "every member of the com-munity has a moral duty torespect and protect the privacyof others." At the same time itargues that MIT must take spe-cific measures to insure privacyof members of the community.

The report calls for a set of"specific guidelines relating tothe collection, processing anduse of information pertaining toidentifiable individuals." In ad-dition, it recommends that a"specific member of the Admini-stration" be made responsiblefor protecting individual privacyand enforcing "pertinent rulesand regulations."

As a further safeguard. thecommittee recommends that"the Institute should formally,recognize the primta .J('ie rightsof the individual to examineinformation about himself." Ad-ditionally, it argues that some"third-party" mechanism be est-ablished to deal with conflicts,suggesting that if an ombudsmanis appointed at MIT, this func-tion be included in his charge.Alternatively, the commit teenotes that this responsibilitycould be added to the duties of aStanding Committee on Privacy,which it recommends be estab-lished "to gather informationand develop experience aboutprivacy matters."

Privacy, the committee as-serts, is a "personal matter.""The right to privacy cannot beassociated with specific infor-mation. Rather, it is the right todecide for oneself what is toremain private, and therefore isakin to personal autonomy." Inthe area of information collec-tion, the report states repeatedlythat individuals must give "well-informed" consent to the use ofthe information they offer. Italso points out danger of "im-plicit coercion." Individualsshould be made aware of what,if any, penalties they will incurif they fail to provide requestedinformation.

The report examines the rightof privacy in the light of MIT'snature as an academic com-munity. Students and faculty. itasserts, have a right to explore,and express views free from thefear that their statements will beused against them in anothercontext. "The university mustbe particularly concerned thatthe views of its members, expres-sed in talk or debate, are re-ported and recorded only as theindividuals themselves see fit."The question of academic free-dom is closely bound with theright of privacy.

The minutes of the meeting alsocontain the recommendationthat Finboard budgeting "try toreflect the interests of the stu-dent body rather than specifical-ly the administration." A discus-sion of the bookkeeping systemsresulted in the assignment of aFinboard member to advise eachactivity in its bookkeeping.

The session also worked outnext year's budget. Most organi-zations were carried over atapproximately the same level offunding, but there were severalsignificant changes.

The music clubs, Finboardchairman John Kavazanjianexplained,. have been removedfrom the- jurisdiction of theBoard. Since last October, theclubs have been funded directlyby the Office of the Dean forStudent Affairs, with allocationsbetween the clubs being handledby a panel drawn from theirmembership.

The Technology CommunityAssociation's (TCA) fundingunderwent a major cut due tothe retirement of ticket agentConnie Houghton. Next year,TCA will share a secretary withthe Association of StudentActivities, resulting in the elim-ination of one-and-a-half secre-tarial positions. The Debate

City may ban hitchhikingBy Bruce Schwartz

Hitchhiking in Cambridgemay soon be punishable by finesup to $50.

The Cambridge City Councilpassed a resolution last Mondayby a vote of 6-3 instructing CitySolitictor Philip M. Cronin todraw up an ordinance thatwould "discourage the practiceof hitchhiking" in the city. Theresolution labels hitching a "gen-eral nuisance," dangerous totraffic and providing an invita-tion to criminal acts.

Former mayor Walter Sulli-van introduced the measure. Hehas spoken out against hitch-hiking before, but his move mayhave been sparked by an articlewhich appeared in last Thurs-day's Cambridge Chronicle, aweekly newspaper, under thebyline of Helen Aucliterlonie.The article describes the hitch-hiker, especially female, ofMassachusetts Avenue, Cam-bridge's main'thoroughfare. It isentitled "Convenience Out-weighs Risk," citing the com-ments of numerous workingwomen who find hitching savesthem money and keeps themfrom having to drive pollutingvehicles. (Most women hitch-

hikers, by the way, are pickedup by young or middle-agedmen, according to the article.)

Also quoted extensively waspolice Lt. Leo Davenport. Fromhis comments one can gleanlittle basis for the notion thathitching invites crime. He said hewas sure that there have beenlots of girls thumbing rides whohave been raped, but that theassaults were not reported. Hehad, he said, no knowledge ofany such incidents reported tothe police. He did cite one caseof a girl who was picked up bythree boys in a car, followed bypolice and busted with themwhen one of the boys lit up ajoint One of the boys, Daven-port said, told him they'dintended- to drive the girl toFresh Pond and rape her.

The traffic nuisance is morereal. Drivers stopping suddenlyfor hitchers often cause rear-endcollisions.

Hitching is already illegal inCambridge under Chapter 90,Section 18a of the state code,but since the law provides onlyfor token fines of $1.00 for thefirst four convictions and $2.00for each subsequent offense, it is

unenforceable. Enforcing thelaw would be too expensive interms of police and court timewasted; also, there are far toomany hitchhikers.

In voting the resolution CityCouncil is asking for an. ordin-ance with teeth. $50 is the prob-able fine if the law ultimatelygoes through. (This is the sameas the state fine for hitching onInterstates and the Mass Pike.)Before such a law can be passed,however, Solicitor Cronin mustresearch its constitutionality,and the ordinance must be writ-ten and read twice before theCouncil can vote. A public hear-ing may also beheld.

By Paul SchindlerA Factual Profile of MIT will

be released in some form nextfall, but some of the informationincluded in the draft copy willnot appear in the final version.

In particular, sources close tothe Commission on MIT Educa-tion have indicated that the pub-lication of salary figures, evenaverage salary figures, brokendown to the departmental levelis unlikely. Several faculty werereportedly annoyed at the publi-cation of figures from that sec-tion of the report in The Techlast week; it was reported that

average salaries in Architectureexceed those in Engineering byover $1000.

Kenneth Hoffman, head ofthe -Commission, will head the·Department of Mathematicsnext fall. He stated "The deci-sion to release the report wasmade the day before [the] arti-cle appeared. It was decided thatthe vice-presidents whose areasof responsibility are affectedshould have a chance to checkthe facts before release.

The Music Section of the Humanities Department greeted the belated arrival of spring with a Mo/artFestival last Monday and Tuesday. Organi/ed by faculty member and pianist John Buttrick and featuringa variety of local performers, the concerts drew well over 100 people to the Hayden library courtyard onthe second day, despite a paucity of publicity.. Prof. Buttrick hopes to repeat the series next year,preferably with refreshments. Among the offerings were the Trio in B flat, K. 502 (Martha Dutton,violin; Joan Esch, cello; and BuIttrick, above), four Lieder, and the Musical Joke, K. 521.

will be a definite improvementnext fall, according to Pogran, aspersonnel are returned from vari-ous special projects which haveoccupied them this year. Theseinclude modernization, expan-sion to Burton-Conner and pre-paration for dial interconnec-tion.

In particular, students on the9 exchange will already havenoticed a new more pleasing dialtone on their phones. This is adirect result of a major renewal,completed Monday evening,when an all-new solid statepower supply replaced the 40year old used motor-generatorsystem which had served theexchange since its inception. Atthe same time, ringing and dialtone generators were replacedwith more modern units. As adirect result of the eliminationof the rotating mechanicalequipment, the backgroundnoise level on Dormphone callsshould be substantially reduced.

This process of making callson the system "cleaner" was alsoassisted by the addition to the 9exchange of a good- externalground. This will also reduce theoccasionally quite noticeablecrosstalk problem from theWTBS program lines.

In the near tuture, mooern-

ization should be taking a largestep forward, according tosources close to both the hous-ing and telecommunications of-fices. Within the next 5 years,the two offices will be co-operat-ing on a phone replacement pro-ject which will eventually re-place all of the older phones,now in dorm rooms with newstyle sets. The Institute's currentfinancial problems have delayedbut certainly not killed this pro-.ject.

Dial interconnection betweenMIT extensions and Dorrn-phones, on a 2-way basis with-out operator assistance will, atlong last, be a reality by nextfall. Although the installation isoccuring later than originally ex-pected due to delays in equip-ment delivery, much of the workcan be done in advance of theequipment's actual arrival. Someexperimental units have been in-stalled for the past several-weeks, with the access codesreleased only to Dormphone em-ployees for testing purposes. Theunits have passed with flyingcolors, and indications are thereshould be little, if any, problemwhen the final units arrive some-time over the next several weeks.

When full dial interconnec-tion becomes a reality, any MIT

extension will be able to get adormline merely by dialing aspeciai' 3-digit code. People withDormphones will be able toreach any MIT extension bydialing a special 2 digit code,followed by the re'gllar number.

"This interconnection shouldmake it easier for professors andstudents to get in touch witheach other," said Mort Berlan,MIT's Director of Telecommuni-cations. "In addition, the deci-sion has been made to allow theDormphones access to the 8level, which includes tie trunksto Harvard, Lincoln Lab, WGBHand other places, in addition ofcourse to the New England Tele-phone toll operator at 820. Thismeans that students will be ableto call friends at other schools,and make long distance calls(either collect or credit card)right from their rooms. Thisshould substantially increase theutility and value of the Dorm-phone service. It should not in-crease the cost."

The dial interconnection willbe accomplished through the useof 20 special interconnection,units provided by the telephonecompany which will be con-nected to similar units providedby Dormphone. The purpose ofall the paraphernalia is to isolatethe 'phone company equipmentfrom the Dormphone equip-ment, in line with new Telcotarrifs (rules) and SupremeCourt rulings. But the connec-tioiis are crisp, clear, and vastlysuperior to those offered by thecurrent interconnection scheme(which is admittedly jury-rigged).

In line for the not-too-distantfuture is another interconnec-tion system that would allowdirect inward dialing of Dorm-phones. Although this would notmean that all Dormphoneswould become NET&T phones,it would mean that one's par-ents, for example, could reachhim in his room by dialing617-XXX-YYYY (X is an ex-change code, Y is a dormlinenumber). This service is for in-coming calls only.

MIT, by the way, is going tothe Centrex system, with a cut-over date now definitely set forAugust 12, -1972. A new ESS(Electronic Switching System) isbeing built especially for theMIT system by NET&T, and themain number will be 253-1000(ALE-1000). The system willprobably offer many ESS fea-tures, including abbreviated dial-ing and 'tall transfer. In addition.it is likely that a system similarto that at Harvard will be in-stalled; that is. all studentphones (private, not dormline)on campus will be part of theCentrex, and thus effectivelyMIT extensions.

By Paul SchindlerIt all began 30 years ago, as

Carlton Tucker, a professor inCourve VI, set up a telephonesystem in the main buildings atMIT. Since then, the DormitoryTelephone Service (Dorm Lineor Dormphone) has grown tosome 1900 subscribers; the MITphone system is bigger thanmany independent phone com-panies.

Next fall, Dormphone will' beeven larger, as the system isrejoined by Burton-Connor,which will bring the number ofsubscriber units to about 2300.The numbers on the phones inBurton will be different thanbefore however; all the old Bur-ton numbers were assigned toMacGregor House. Burton re-tumrnees next fall will find thatthey now have numbers on the 8exchange, in the 1, 5, 6 and700's. In addition, residents ofthe house will find that all old

phones have been replaced withmodern, ivory colored sets(model 500) similar to thosenow in MacGregor.

Ken Pogran, Course VI gradstudent, and one of the studentemployees of Dormphone, as-sured that, "Burton won't havethe installation problems thatMacGregor did. In the case ofMacGregor, it was a labor dis-pute over students working onthe same project with unionlabor. This has already been re-solved on the Burton-Connerproject, and we are certain thatall dormphones will be in andworking before RIO week."

The Dormphone system hascome quite a ways since 1960, atwhich time only Baker had a dialsystem, while East Campus andAshdown had manual switch-boards. It was at this time thatMIT purchased a large .amountof used phone switching equip-ment from the John Hancockcompany, and created the 9 and0 exhcnages. /

Students in dormitories payfor Dormphone maintainencealong with their rent, but theprice is bargain basement. Al-though repair service has beenprompt during this school year,some have noted that it seemeda little faster in the past. There

to a person's file. The committeeis never able to fully resolve thisquestion, suggesting only thatdiscretion be used, and that sep-arate files be kept in cases wherethere is a possible conflict ofrights.

The report is careful to recog-nize the dangers posed by the"outside world" to the privacyof individuals on whom MITholds files. It recommends thatonly minimal factual inform-ation be given to inquiries origin-ating outside the community.Furthermore, it explicitly recog-nizes the dangers of subpoenasand suggests that all collecteddata have a specific lifetime (thisrecommendation also appears inother places in the report). Thelifetime of all records should bemade known when the informa-tion is first collected, and thecontinued existence of any file,the report states, should be justi-fied by those intending to keepit.

{Continued from page 1)However, the report also

commends the "free-and-openatmosphere" of the academiccommunity. The claimn of pri-vacy, it states, should ndt beused "to avoid inconvenience orto hide error." Furthermore,while it recognizes the right oforganizations and offices as wedas individuals to privacy, it ex-plicitly states that office holdershave a duty to recognize theright-to-know of their constit-uencies. It is here, the report

states, that the conflict of theright-to-know and the right-to-privacy is the sharpest.

In a related area, the com-mittee asserts the right of indi-viduals to review the recordsrelating to them that are held bythe Institute. In its report, itargues that they have the right"to correct possible errors andto append comments intendedto prevent misinterpretations."Balanced against this, however,is the right-to-privacy of individ-uals who may' have contributed

term, students at MIT and Har-vard may possibly be viewingexchange video transmissionsbetween the two schools," saysProf. Carl Overhage and Mr.James Roberts of the UniversityInformation Technology Corpor-ation (UNITEL).

This closed circuit TV will bethe product of a year's researchby UNITEL in its efforts ofintroducing new informationtransfer technology into teach-ing and learning at the schools.

The television network beingset up utilizes the existing TVfacilities at each school and theirconnections to TV stationWGBH (Channel 2) of Boston.WGBH's part in the setup stemsfrom TV connections bothschools already have to the sta-tion. Through a little patch workat the station, MIT and Harvardcan be connected to each other.

MIT's transmissions to Har-vard are sent via microwavesfrom the Center for AdvancedEngineering Study (bldg. 9) to

WGBH which relays them by thecable to up to 21 locations at,Harvard. The initial schedulecalled for experimental programsto be transmitted before the endof this semester, but due totechnical difficulties in the Har-vard system the trial progranmsprobably won't be seen until fall.

Overhage said the MIT-WGBH-Harvard setup is econom-ical because neither school hasto start front scratch in the earlyexperiments. The main problem,he noted; would be distinguish-ing who will finance the link-up.At present, the deal with WGBHis that each transmission willcost six dollars/hour for anengineer who will be doing thepatch work.

The $5000 newspaper subsidyfund has been eliminated fromnext year's budget. There stillremains, however, a $500 Publi-cation Fund "for distribution tonew publications." Kavazanjiancited Rain and the CommunityWriters Cooperative as examplesof the kind of activities intowhich this money might go.

$1,200 was reserved for useby the Undergraduate Associa-

tion for "special projects" sub-ject to the Finance Board'sapproval. Kavazanjian explainedthat the Board wanted to insurethat some "fiscal control" wouldbe exercised over the use ofthese funds.

A large portion of the budget,$15,000, was allocated as a baddebt cushion. Here Kavazanjiancited TCA and the White WaterClub as examples. TCA, he said,is $7,500 in debt. Slightly over$9,000 was kept in reserve, onthe assumption, according toKavazanjian, that there were anumber of activities that hadn'tyet applied for funds. Addition-ally, he noted that considerationwas being given to hiring a secre-tary for the Student CenterCommittee.

relatively uninformed student to find hisway through the maze of data that thesedecisions generate.

The Factual Profile appears to offerstudents and faculty information thatthey might otherwise find impossible toprocure (it took over 1 8 months of oneman's full-time work to prepare), yetwhich provide them with the backgroundto more fully understand how the Insti-tute is run.

Even though only a small portion ofthe information which the profile con-tains has been published, it has alreadycaused a great deal of uneasiness in thecommunity. The breakdown of-facultysalaries probably won't be in the Profilewhen it's published next fall.

While some faculty may argue thattheir salary is a private matter, in a timeof fiscal difficulty, when the Institutemust reassess all of its commitments, thisbit of data could certainly be an impor-tant input. While it would make no sensefor the entire community to be involvedin the determination of individual salar-ies, it would seem that the communityhas some right to have a say in setting thepriorities on which salary determinationsare based. If the community is to conductthe business of education, it would seemthat it has a right to know how itsresources are being distributed.

The profile is now being circulated atthe top level of the MIT administrationfor inspection. The official explanation isthat it is being checked for factual errors.However, to the outside observer, thequestion of whether this is actually a

By Lee Giguere

"Although the Committee has noticedno instances in which individuals. oroffices 'have used the need to protectprivacy as reason or excuse to avoidinconvenience or to hide error, thechance for such actions always exists. Asthe Institute, increases its awareness-forthe issue of privacy, care must be takento avoid interference between the protec-tion of private information and the basicneed of the community to conduct itsaffairs in as free and open a fashion aspossible. "

-Final Report of the Ad HocCommittee on the Privacy of

Information at MIT

The recent controversy over the Fac-tual Profile of MIT compiled at therequest of the MIT Commission suggeststhat the issues mentioned in the abovequotation from the report of the Com-mittee of Privacy are far from acadernic.

The publication of such a report(which' will, in fact, occur next' fall) couldbe a real boon to the conduct of theaffairs of the MIT community in a "freeand open" fashion. Up till now, many ofthe decisions and most probably someattendant errors of the administrationhave been hidden from the scrutiny of.major segments of the community. Forthe most part, this was not a matter ofconscious secrecy on the part of theadministration (though some of it mighthave been), but simply the result of thefact that it is almost impossible for a

"reason or excuse to avoid inconvenientvor to hide error." must arise.

Certainly the officers of the Institutehave a right to privacy, but as the Privacyreport points out, they do not have theright to use privacy as a shield behindwhich to hide from the community. Now.it should be maile clear that this may notbe the case at all. The final version of thereport may be much better and muchmore complete than the original. How-ever, the initial reluctance of the adminis.tration to release the profile does raisedoubts about their willingness to conductthe affairs of the Institute in a "free andopen atmosphere."

In the past, The Tech; had advocatedthat community input play a more impor.tant role in tenure policy. While we haveadmitted that it would be impractical forthe community to be involved in eachdecision, we have asserted that it isimportant for the community to beinvolved in setting the criteria for tenuredecisions, just as we argued that thecommunity should have been drawn intothe discussion of the requirements forMIT's new president in a more activeway.

The' publication of the-Factual Profilenext fall could be a meaningful aid to thewidening of community input to thedecisions made at all levels of the MITadministration. However, if the profile iscarefully edited so that it contains no

·controversial information, it will in alllikelihood be stripped of any interestilngor useful information. Hopefully,this willnot be the case.

The Tech announces the resignationof Alex Makowski as Editor-in-Chief,after a year's service in that position.He continues to serve on the EditorialBoard. His successor is former Manag-ing Editor Robert Fourer, who takesoffice beginning with this issue.

Also resigning, after this issue, isAdvertising Manager and formerSpqrts Editor John Kavazanjian, whowill hereafter have the position ofEditorial Associate. He is succeeded byLen Tower.

This issue is The Tech's last thisterm. A summer issue at the beginningof August will be distributed on cam-pus and sent to all incoming freshmen(if you want a copy mailed to you,bring or send a nickel and your sum-mer address to W20483).. Regularpublication will resume in the fall.

believing such incredible projections. Wasanyone invited to rebut such figures?.Dofalse threats of deserted facilities justifythe continuation of an unpopular andoutmoded requirement?

The damage is done. The PE require-ment still remains. I only hope to encour-age closer scrutiny of future AthleticDepartment testimony on the PE require-ment.

Director of Athletics Ross Smith agreescompletely - to his knowledge the figureof 80-90% was never presentred to theCEP. The Tech received the informationfrom a member of that committee, how-ever, so we can only speculate that hedidn 't quite get his facts straight.

What the Athletic Departmen t doesclaim is that lower PhysEd class enrollmentwould result in less people skilled in use ofthe facilities, and thus eventually in lessusers in the other three groups as well.Thus the "negative feedback effect" mnen-tioned in the article. No specific projectedfigures, other than class enrollments, havebeen calculated, however. -Ed.

JUDCOMMS & PRIVACY

To the editor:This month the final report of the Ad

Hoc Committee on the. Privacy of Infor-mation at MIT becomes available to thepublic. It has a number of importantrecommendations, but certain of theseapply particularly to the judicial commit-tees of the dorms and fraternities at MIT.

While working on that committee in1969, 1 looked into the final dispositionof Judcomm records in various livinggroups. These consist of records of trials,hearings, complaints. and occasionallymemnos written by the Judconto chair-

man. I found that there was no set policyon what to do with this informationwhen it became outdated, and that prac-tice varied widely. Commonly, the filesare kept without any physical security(for example, in a shoe box under theJudcomm chairman's bed, or in a clearlymarked folder on his bookcase). They arepassed on from year to year, sometimeslost but often dating back fifteen ortwenty years.

While many such files are completelyinnocuous, certainly some are not, andthey could prove embarassing if theyturned up by accident in the wronghands. Also, they are all subject tosubpoena if the courts ever decided thatthey were evidence of something.

Personal files in the office of the Deanfor Student Affairs are destroyed whenthe student graduates. This is the onlysensible policy .for disposal of judicialcommittee records. It should be specifiedas part of the Judcomm chairman's job(perhaps in the living group's constitutionor bylaws) that this updating be doneeach year by the newly elected chairman.The guidelines suggested by the Ad HocCommittee st.te that all such sensitiveinformation should be destroyed unlessthere is a specific reason to keep it.

Letters to The TechPHYSED FACTS

To the editor:The article concerning the extension

of the physical education requirement(May 7, 197 1 ) contained some interestingfacts, particularly the projection of an80-90% drop in the use of the athleticfacilities through "negative feedback ef-fects" if the PE requirement were elimi-nated. How gullible does the AthleticDepartment think people are? This pro-jection must be either the result ofextreme naivete on the part of theAthletic Department or else a scare tacticdesigned to impress the Committee onEducational Policy with the importanceof the PE requirement. In. either case,such a statement can only cause a-furtherdeterioration of the image of the AthleticDepartment.

Four general groups (intercollegiateathletics, physical education, intramurals,and casual users) presently share the useof the athletic facilities. An 80-90% cut-back in facility use would entail a reduc-tion in the intramural and inter-collegiateprograms alone so drastic as to be incom-prehensible. Can the Athletic Depar-tmentjustify these figures? I think not. Whythen did the Athletic Department submitsuch grossly inflated projections? Aren't-the -- merits of the present PE programsufficient to ensure its continuance?

I think the Athletic Department owesus an explanation. Whoever formulatedthese projections either shows no compre-hension of the operation of the AthleticDepartment or else admits that no logicaldefense exists for an archaic requirement.Performances such as this CEP snow jobonly confirm beliefs that the AthleticDepartment opposes reasonable changeand has a distinct lack of imagination.

The CEP must also stand accused for

-THETECH FRIDAY KIAY21 1971 PACG F5

UAP and the editorship of TheTech were once virtual guaran-tees of election. But the black-ball makes election a matter ofpersonalities-as well. Surprisinglyenough, Mike Albert, whom al-most everyone respected even if.they disagreed with him, was a

-member of Osiris, but WellsEddleman, who lacks Albert'sstyle, is not. Current UAP BobSchulte was initiated last month.(Radical leftist Albert pro-nounced Osiris "innocuous" butquit anyway. Whether he fearedcooptation or just giving theappearance of it isn't known).The past three editors-in-chief ofThe Tech are members; only a

'single former editor of Thiursdaybelongs. George Katsiaficas is amember; he no longer comes todinner, but he never bothered toresign.

In general, Osiris initiates arestudents who have made theirmark either in campus politics orits relative, campus journalism,and have thus gained reputationsas "people of significance." Therest depends on who likes you.Recently initiated journalists in-elude, for example, Lee Giguere,who is one of four news editorsof The Tech, Kevin George, whostopped editing Thursday lastwinter, outgoing The Tech edi-tor-in-chief Alex Makowski, andBruce Schwartz, former colum-nist and nominal editor of TheTech, who hasn't done much ofanything lately. Other journalistsof equal or superior caliber werepassed over. The reasons areknown only to the actives whoelected the new members.

A typical Osiris dinner beginswith cocktails and free-for-allchatting at 6:30 pmr. The organi-zation used to meet at 270Beacon Street (hence it is some-times called "270") but nowvaries the site of its gatherings.After about a -half hour themembers move to dinner. Notuntil after dinner is any sort ofmeeting. called to order; themembers form a circle with theirchairs (currently a-difficult thingsince there may be 50 or 60present) and the chairman of theevening (the chairmanship ro-tates) intones the formula "Wemeet in the name of Osiris."Everyone then sits and the chair-man solicits topics. Usually·about five to ten are offered.Custom says they must concernMIT. The chairman then initiatesdiscussion of the topic by callingon the member who offered it.Discussions continue until 10pm. Then the members rise, thechairman says "We part in thename of Osiris," and the meetingends.

Typical discussions centerabout topics such as researchpolicy, admissions, financial aid,administrative policies, andhousing. Talk is usually deco-rous, but sometimes acerbic con-frontations arise. At the lastmeeting, for example, Constan-tine Simonides was subjected toheated questioning over thewithholding of the Commission'sFactual Profile of 'MIT.

The members have to footthe bill for meals. Dinners runabout $3, but the food is re-portedly excellent.

In recent years Osiris' mem-(Please turn to page 6)

Pages-eight through ten of theMIT Student Directory carry alist of over one hundred studentactivities, including newspapers,a service fraternity (APO), andseveral honorary societies. Oneactivity you won't find listedthere is Osiris. It isn't listedbecause Osiris is a secret society,or at least it used to be.

About fifty years ago several"leading" students at MITfounded a secret society whosepurpose was to bring studentswho were considered leaders oncampus together with eachother, and with faculty membersand administrators, to period-ically dine and xdiscuss issuesrelevant to the Institute. Theynamed the organization Osirisafter the ancient Eygptian godof the underworld and hoked itup with some interesting sym-bols and ritualistic practices.

It has survived more or lessintact down to the present day,although most of the originalrules have been bent and thesymbology no longer mystifieseven the members. One thingthat has remained is the methodof perpetuation. Active (that is,currently enrolled student)members nominate candidatesfor admission, and election re-quires a unanimous vote of theactives present when electionsare held. Hence blackballs ofpotential members can and dooccur.

Today's Osiris is basically un--changed from the original. It issolely a discussion and eatingsociety. It has no programs, nopowers and makes no decisionson anything except new mem-bers and the place of the nextdinner. This is not to say itserves no purpose: Osiris pro-vides an ideal forum for thepersonal contacts that make upstudent politicking and the gene-ral run of Institute wheeling anddealing. In other words, Osiris isa meeting ground for the more-or-less self-selected group of stu-dent "leaders," prominent facul-ty members and most of theupper minions of the administra-tion. To the extent that thesegroups are representative of thecampus in general, Osiris fosterscommunication between stu-dents, faculty and the adminis-tration.

Historically, Osiris' member-ship has included many of MIT'smost illustrious graduates.(Membership, by the way, is forlife. General meetings are oftenattended by old alumni.) Thisincludes Jim Killian, who stillhosts dinners at his I 00 Memori-al Drive penthouse. Thoughmembership is theoretically re-stricted to students and gradu-ates of MIT, honorary memberscan be elected, thus allowingfaculty members to be broughtinto ihe fold.

In addition to general din-ners, held bi-weekly, the activesmeet for luncheons -every twoweeks. Membership was for-merly limited to 15 actives peryear, but recently the organiza-'tion reassessed its relevance anddecided to broaden its base bybringing in more members.There are new about 30 actives.

Getting into Osiris is a some-what capricious matter. Often itis a matter of position - the

asserted over a century ago, dealwith moral conflicts by makingthem into legal ones and resolv-ing themn politically. His observa-tion holds equally well today -witness the ritual importanceattached to "working within thesystem."

Even those (mostly youthful)radicals who believe the politicalsystem is itself immoral - in-capable therefore of resolvingissues of the war and racialrelations - have been finding po-litics increasingly helpful alongthe way. A technical legal argu-ment, first advanced in Congresslast 'year, has made uniform18-year-old suffrage a certaintyby early '72. And self-pro-claimed radicals-swept to a near-majority of the city council inthe college town of Berkeley.

Cambridge is about the samesize as Berkeley, and the votingage in this state is already 19.The parallel hasn't been over-looked. This city's two hugeuniversities have had little popu-lar political effect so far, but,especially among students, acti-vists are slowly organizing thefirst step: registration drives.

Registration drives'? An avidelection-return watcher since the

age of ten, it occurred to meonly in the later sixties that onemight have any trouble justriding to the polls and voting,like my parents did.'Even then, Ifigured my registering for- 'thevote at 21 would be no trickierthan registering for the draft at18.

That was before I became a"student" - a member of one ofthe lower classes. The paperstold me I'd have to prove sixmonths' "residence," "self-support," and age of course, andconform to various student-slanted interpretations whichchanged from day to day. For astudent living in Cambridge,voting appeared not just a dutybut a challenge, albeit not onerequiring all that much courage.

Accordingly, on a recentmorning I collected nmy paycheck and latest bank statement,found my name in the phonebook and a. birth date on mydraft card, and set out.

Election Commission has notmade public any guidelines, norhave any challenges reached thecourts. The laws regarding regis-tration remain unchanged.

It's no puzzle that establishedpolitical interests would want todiscourage student registration.A thorough job could easilyyield a total university votingbloc of ten to 20 thousand,something few politicians couldafford to ignore. And nothing'sknown about how it would vote(for issues or candidates? whichones?), what alliances it wouldform, what city councillors orschool board members it mightelect in Cambridge's preferentialvote.

Not all the objection is para-noia. Students in the past havebeen demonstrably uninterestedfor the most part in the cityaround them, and is reasonableto ask whether they should beable to influence governmentand- services affecting citizenswho will be here long afterthey've left. Furthermore, apa-thetic students might be easilymanipulated - there's an exten-sive college media system offer-ing advertising relatively cheap,and in dorms especially it wouldtake only a small organization toguarantee getting out the vote.(No wonder there's a bill in thestate House of Representativeswhich would prohibit the use of

when cliques. secret societiesand even fraternities are con.sidered anachronisms. There is a certain self-conscious embar.:assment displayed by the partic(.pants, and this has led to a weakening of the once-strongrules. "We part in the name ofOsiris" is about what's left ofthe ritual. Osiris is supposed tobe a secret, but it's rather anopen one these days. Fur.thermore, members aren't SUp.posed to talk about what goes :1on in meetings, but this account -was garnered from several loose.tongued Osirians.

Most of the members don'tthink this weakens the society,however. The trend has been inrecent years toward a more openforum, and until something bet.ter comes along, most considerOsiris a valuable means of keep-ing communication going be-tween the three main groups atacademic MIT. Besides, thosedinners are rather enjoyable.Finally, the ego boost of gettinginto Osiris cannot be estimated,but it probably shouldn't beunderestimated, either.

By Bob DresserOn a lazy Tuesday afternoon

the Bonnie Beavers played ahurried game that found 'themon top when the ninth was over,44-0. They had beaten Bentley,won their first shutout, theirthird victory in a row, theseventh of their last nine games,and they had played that loosebrand of ball that so character-ized the club.

The heroes were senior out-fielders Bill Preece and JoeGaravioli, and Greater BostonLeague consensus best pitcher AlDopfel. Basically, the club wonthe game in the first. After DaveTirrell walked, Al Dopfel singled- his first of two hits, and RichRoy walked. Bob Dresser cameto the plate with two outs. Aftergetting an 0-2 count, he ripped acurve ball to right for a two-runsingle. Bill Preece then steppedto the plate, hitting a solid singleto left to score Roy and give theteam all it needed.

The season will end Saturdaywith a doubleheader at Worces-ter, and since no newspaper willbe around to talk about the twowins they'll get, a wrap-up seemsappropriate now.

Briefly, the team started theseason playing four freshmen,some of whom helped the cluband others who did not quitemake expectations; but all ofthem were inexperienced in col-lege ball. The result was a 3-9record halfway through the sea-son, including four losses in arow, three of them to teams thatwere clearly of inferior talent.At this point the captains exer-cised that oftentimes not-usedmechanism of communicatingwith the coach. An understand-ing was reached, some changeswere made, and suddenly theyput, it together; a double wintomorrow will give them themost wins and the best percent-age record north of the Mason-Dixon line in the long and not-so-glorious history of MIT base-"ball.

The highlights -of the seasonhad to be the GBL wins overNortheastern and possibleNCAA contender Boston Univer-sity. In both games the standoutwas Al Dopfel, and it is appro-Priate that more be said about

this team MVP and best pitcherMIT has ever seen (and probablywill ever see). Al's El'A wasunder 1.0 in New England play,and with a little more defense hecould have had a far betterrecord. Professional scouts arelooking at him, and unlike mostintellectuals, he has the desireand drive to play ball that couldlead to a professional career. ButAl didn't just pitch for the Bea-vers; he was their only consistenthitter. Going into the gamesSaturday, he's hitting .370, withtwice as many RBI's as anyoneelse, and more hits than three-quarters of the team combited!It looked sort of strange at theAthletic Awards banquet Whensome of his teammates gave hima standing ovation, but if ever aperson deserved it, it was Al.

Another good thing that hap-pened through the season wasthe play of the Benchies. With-out Gary Williams' help on themound in Florida the clubwould have had a disastroustime. Later on, Dizzy Holcomfound his stuff, and as the sea-son closes he has a 4-1 record inNew England. Rick Charpiecame on after Dennis Bied-rzycki's injury and did anadequate job at catcher whileproviding the spirit that kept theteam together. And what canyou say about a senior outfielderwhose double kept the club inthe Northeastern 'game? BillPreece surprised a lot of people,but as he put it, "Well, if Ihadn't gotten a hit, I would havebeen benched." Also not to beforgotten was that keystonecombination of Weisshaar andRoy. The two steady membersof the ball club had a littletrouble fielding in the middle ofthe season, but put it together inthe final half. Also, Tom Pipalon the infield Helped the clubwhile the frosh were gainingexperience.

And we can't forget thoserookies. Dave Tirrell played farabove anybody's expectations atthird, and Joe DeAngelo, KevinRowland, and Steve Reber filledin at spots that would have beentroublesome.

Finally, hats off to the bench.There were some guys who

didn't see much action butwhose first base coaching meantas much to the club as anyone.They kept everyone loose, andlike the Stars they had theirhang-ups too. At any rate, nicejob Bill Billings, JP Peterson, andRich Haas.

There is one final thing thatought to be said. That's a wordabout Coach O'Brien. You meeta lot of people in your life, andif you're- a ballplayer you see alot of coaches. Some of themhave that knowledge of the gamethat helps you become better.Others have that ability tounderstand your problems andhelp you out. And some cankeep a team's spirit up. Thenthere are some who put all thequalities together. And they'rerare. Of all the coaches thiswriter ever met - and he hasseen one helluva lot - CoachO'Brien was the finest. Althoughwe're not sure what being pro-moted to Associate Professormeans, the team congratulateshim. We know he deserves it.

Jerry and Paui represent two reasons why we need your help next year. So far we have firmcommitments from 135 faculty and staff and tentative commitments from another 15. But we stillneed an additional 3540 advisors to meet our goal of assigning to each advisor no more than hispreferred number of freshmen. '

This is an important goal. It would mark the first time that all freshman advisors could have theopportunity to be maxitnally effective by their own criteria.

If you would like to get to know a few freshmen well, to update your knowledge of theincreasingly diverse freshman curriculum, and to support your colleagues in this importantactivity, please volunteer now as a freshman advisor for next year.

In baseball Bruce added fourmore victories during his junioryear for an MIT career recordtotal of ten. He did not play thisspring.

Wheeler has earned severalathletic honors during his under-graduate days, so it is fitting thathe was among the fifteen basket-ball players awarded an NCAA$1000 postgraduate scholarshipfor outstanding athletic 'and aca-demic achievement.

The Cochrane Award, sym-bolic of the senior displayingoutstanding leadership, was pre-sented to lightweight crew cap-tain John Malarkey. In a sport

By Ali KedouThe Rugby Club concluded

its spring season last weekend byreaching the quarter-finals of theNew England Tournament heldat UMass. This satisfying perfor-mance, expected by the clubmembers but somewhat surpris-ing to local rugby pundits, placesthe Tech squad among the topten teams in New England andleaves the side with a 7-4 record.

The first match in the tour-ney pitted Tech against thestrong, fast Williams Collegeside. Winger Bob Charles literallybroke open the game with aterrific plunging score. Charlesscooped up the ball released bythe fallen Don Arkin, pointedhimself toward the goal anddrove in for the try, Williamstacklers bouncing off him likeBB's off armor-plate. The opti-mistic aura of Charles' goal ap-parently carried over to kickerEd Walker who dropped theconversion over the crossbarwith a beautiful boot fromamong a crowd of spectators onthe near touch-line.

Two quick scores put Techback in a hole 5-6, but thenWalker sailed a carefully set upkick over the posts to put MITahead to stay, 8-6. The finalscore was 13-6.

In their second match of theday, Tech faced Boston College.A panalty goal put MIT ahead3-0. BC tied the score in thesecond half with another penal-ty. Tension mounted in thegame as time slipped away with-

out a score. Finally the chancecame: a five yard scrumn on theBC goal. BC won their hook andthe ball lay at the feet of thedefenders' 'lock. Suddenly, witha mighty heave, the Tech serumdrove BC back over the ball andclaimed it for scrum-half JohnRiley, who quickly- fed it tof ly-ha lf Dave McQueen.McQueen began to break to theoutside, found his path blockedand turned back inside, drivingstraight ahead toward the BCgoal. Fighting off three separatetackles, he dove over the try lineto provide the spectators with aclassic scoring run. Tech won,6-3.

The visibly tired Tech sidethen had to face a much fresherTufts team, which had drawn abye in the first round. Thematch opened with the tiresome,gruelling serum play and close-tackling back rushes which hadbecome a feature of the day, asboth teams lost a man to injuries.early on. Tech's loss came on a
