By Jonathan WekerA group of Boston area col-

lege students announced the for-mation of a "Committee AgainstBias in Education" (CABE) at anews conference held Tuesday,February 13, in the MIT StudentCenter. The group, consisting ofstudents from MIT, Harvard, andBoston University, is headed bytwo MIT students, FrankPeseckis '75 and Steven Wright'73.

Believing that the "ac-quisition of knowledge" is thegoal of a college education, ac-cording to a statement issued byCABE to the press, the commit-tee pointed out that "the exis-tence of entrenched 'intellectual'orthodoxies ill the faculties ofcollege departments ... is in-compatible with rational d~is-course and the free flow ofideas" and noted that CABEwould take "all appropriatesteps to correct the above-menltioned anti-educationalpolicies "

The group's first target is theSchool of Humanlities and SocialSciences at MIT, in particularthe department of Philosophy,where it called for an "end tothe supression of intellectual dis-selt " At the press conference.Peseckis accused the School ofH~umanit~ies of "overwhelminogbias in favor of collectivism and.repression of individualisti.ntellectulals."

The committee was formedby Peseckis and WNright, both

staff members of Ergo0, as alloutgrowth of the current con-

-troversy concerning tile Philo-tsophy Department. The coII-

tr oversy has received extensivecoverage in Ergo.

tThe claim made bay CABE(most of whom are associated in

Isome way with Ergo), is thatrthere is considerable bias in

MIT's philosophy departmenttoward the analytic point ofview, at the expense of sup-

-pressing o ther schools ofthought, including Objectivism,

-the philosophy advocated bymost Libertarians. (Ergo pur-ports to be "The Rational Voiceof Libertarianism.") In a letterdated Dece mber 7, 1')72,addressed to Professor RichardL. Cartwright, head of thephilosophy department, thegroup made the following de-mands:

1. That an advocate of thephilosophy of Objectivisni beadded to the faculty of M IT'sphilosophy department.

2.That Objectivist viewpointslie studied in the relevant slib-Jects now being offered by thedlepart~ment, and

3. That a separate subject onOb'ectivismi be included in thekcurriculurn of tile department.

The second set of parallelsessions gave the participants theopportunity to listen a-nd discusseither electricity demand orenergy economics.

The electricity session startedwlith two papers presented by T.1). Mount of Cornell and T. J.Tyrrell of the Oak Ridge Nation-al Laboratory concerning predic-Lions for electric energy demandandi ecconometric analysis of fu-ture US electricity needs.

The growth of electricity de-mand after the second world waris generally attributed to fivefactors: population, income, threprices of electricity, substitutefuels (such as coal and naturalgas), and complementary pro-ducts such as househoW appli-ances. Predictions of electricitydemand in the past few yearshave gnerally been just simplee x t rapol a tions of historicalI,-rowth rates. Recently, Tyrrellnloted, changes have occurred insome of the underlying eco-nomnic factors emphasizing the

cated predictive approaches.Tyrrell and Mount have de-

veloped a model which describesthe growth of electricity demandas a function of population, in-come. and prices of electricityand other fuels. From this modelthey have been able to make awide range of projections to

By Howard D. SitterThe Admninistration is pre-

qently deliberating over the feasi-bility of resuming the AshdownDining Services on a limitedscale in the immediate future.

Carolyn Ann Ross Chairmanof the Committee to Save Ash-down Dining, is optimistic that aplan to serve fewer meals, suchas one and two entrees at lunchand dinner respectively, as weldas the previous day's leftovers,will be approved. The proposalwill necessitate a reduction inthe dining hall's full-time emn-ployees. This would allow Ash-down to imymerisely decrease itsoperating expenses without sac-rificing too rnuch appeal.-

Last December 20 the Ash-down Dining Hall discontinuedits operations due to a financialdeficit which could no longer beborne by the Institute. Howeverthe Institute's other two diningservices, Lobdell Cafeteria andWalker Memolrial, had also beensubsidized by the school in thepast. The Dinting and HousingService agreed to investigate thedining systemn as a whole andalternatives in efficiently servic-ing the largest amount of peopleupon Ashdown's closing.

As-hdown had been servicingappr-oximately 400 people atlunch last term,. If it attractedsimilar crowds at breakfast anddinner it would break even.However, only 40%O of the resi-dents have commons contractsin the dorm. Dining at Ashdownwas popular due to its atmo-sphere and shor t lines. Facultyacid institute employees, as wellas Ashdownl residents, found theservice convenient and appeal-ing.

Most of Ashdown's displacedcustomers are now dining atnearby Lobdell. The cafeteria'sincreased revenue has been atthe expense of the Ashdowndiners as well as Lobdell's origi-nal lunch hour patrons. Lob-dell's facilities have been con-gested, while lunch lines haveextended halfway across thesecond floor of the StudentCenter.

The termination of the facili-ty has been viewed as dispas-sionate and reprehensible by themembers of the MIT communitywho frequented the dining hall.The Committee to Save Ash-down Dining, in conjunctionwith the Committee on StudentEnvironment, has been meetingwith the Administration tostudy the possibilities of re-opening the cafeteria. Accordingto Professor Suhas S. Patil of theCSE, the decision to close Ash-down was based on "a questionof priorities."

Manipulation of figures citedPatil contended that the din-

ing service had decided that totaldining capacity was in excess,and the fate of Ashdown wasdetermined primarily by expedi-ence. In the fall, disputes aroseover the presentation of financesand, according to Pattil, figureswere "manipulated" by the Ad-ministration. By subsidizingvending machines and requiringAshdown residents to pay a $40annual dining fee, it has beenforecasted that Ashdown wouldmeet its expenses without draw-ing from the Institute's GeneralFund. H. Eugene Bramnmer, D3i-rector of Housing and Food Ser-

vices, admitted that "no one willdispute the fact that Aslhdownwas the most comfortable dininghall on campus."

The future of Ashdown Din-ing Hall is certain to be resolvedwithin the next two weeks.However, dining services on thecampus still remain inadequate.Currently, Twenty Chimneys isthe only facility available tocampus residents on tile week-ends. The Dining and HousingServices is discussing a seven-daymeat plan to replace the onepresently in effect. The dininghalls will remain closed as mealswill be served on the dormitorycommons plan.

By Fred HutchisonOver 800 scientists, engineers.

and economists more than twicethe number anticipated, con-cluded a three-day syimposiurm atMIT on Wednresday. The convo-cation dealt with the energycrisis which now confronts theUnited States.

The conference. entitled"Energy: Demand, Conserva-tion, and Institutional Prob-lems," was jointly sponsored bythe National Science Founda-tion's RANN (Research Appliedto Nationai Needs) Program,MIT's Industrial Liaison Programand the Institute's newly createdEnergy Laboratory.

The conference was kick-edoff at 8:45 anm on Monday withw-elcoming speeches by Dr.Jerome Wiesner, President ofMIT, and Professor David C.White, director of the energy

lab, who explained the purposeof the conference.

The first of four major paperswas presented by Tialling C.Koopmans of Yale University.The address concerned futureeconomic growth and resourceand energy use. Koopmans ex-plained econometric models andtheir applications for modelingthe energy sector in the future.Koopman's paper set the themefo.- the conference by expressingthe complexity of the problemsfacing the world in terms ofenergy use, resource depletion,and economy.

The delegates could then at-tend either of two sessions; oneconcerned with solar energy. andthe other dealing with themodeling of energy systems.

The solar energy group waschaired by H . Houthakker ofHarvard and heard presentationsby F. H. Morse on the assesmentOf solar energy as a nationalenergy resource, R. A. Farran onsolar to thermal conversion asapplied to large-scale power gen-erating systems, K. W. Boer onthe feasibility of a solar systemto provide extra energy to indivi-dual homes, and on solar seapower by C. Zener of Carnegie-Mellon University.

Morse, who is currently work-ing for NSF, expressed the opin-ion that if tie cost of solar cellswas reduced two orders of mag-nitude in the near future by theyear 2020 the sun could directlyprovide 20 percent of the coun-try's projected energy needs.

An interesting figure pre-sented in W. A. Anderson'spaper on solar energy conversionis that a 40 foot square roofcovered with a 50 percent effici-ent photovoltaic cell array couldproduce 8.5 kwhr of electrical

Associate Dean for StudentAffairs Richard Sorenson pre-dicted earlier this week that inthe years ahead, with some fra-ternity houses plagued by failingphysical plants, "moving toCambridge is the only viablealternative" for the-MIT frater-nity system.

The remarks were made bySorenson in a not-so-final fare-well to members of the Intrafra-ternity Conference at a meetingof the IFC, at which housepresidents and representativesmet to discuss the activities andfuture plans for fraternity resi-dents.

Rising costs, community re-lations and next year's '73 rushwere the major topics discussedby the council, which was at-tended by Sorenson (who isleaving the Dean's Office afterover six years there), as well asAssistant DE:ean Ken Browning.

"Cpposing Beam Fusion'" (OPF) by

JW* Ecklin, 5100 8th Rd S -508,

Arlington, V~a. 22204,

IAt present ,.re have a very seri-

ous energy & pollution crisis be-cause of our overly sinple concept

of ar. ion & particularly its field.

Three decades ago our accelerators

had enough speed for fusion but we

had a beam density and focusing

problem. Webster's dictionary des-

cribes a field as "a space -within

which magnetic or electrical lines

of force are active" & because of

the underlined word it seems a bet

ter description than most physics

texts. We study the di, kensoult of

the atom when all we want to com-

bine iz positive ions E- it is onlytheir fields that caus5e us probl-

ems. We think of an ion as a round

pincushion with many pins stuck in

it at right angles to the cushion

with the pins being the electrost-

atic lines of force which make up

the field. We sort of think of th-

is field as just being there and

following the ion much like the

clothes are wear follows our move-

ments. This concept has been adeq-

uate for static systems but Einst-

ein's unified field theory & manyother proofs says this field ((the

pins) electrostatic lines of force)

is made up of emanations to or fr-

om the -ion at (c) the speed of

light.

Ilie are told to get fusion awe rra-

st contain a dense enough plasma

(.0001 of sea level air) long en-

ough to raise its temperature high

enough for the positive ions to

fuse but the major obstacle to fu-

sion is the violent repulsion of

the like ions which we must combo

ine. Basic physics teaches speed &

terwerature are equivalent.

V.7hen 2 like ions are at rest the

fields of each ion p~ass the other

ion at c & at this time the ions

=efficiently repel each other.

(We are not even considering how

force varies as the inverse square

of the separation.)

Costs

Oakes reported that, accord-ing to the survey, sizeable dis-parities exist in other areas. Thenumber of house residents aver-aged 40, with a high of 70 and alow of 27. Rent paid by the MITchapters to alumni corporationsaveraged $14,8 50 per year, witha high of $35,000 and a low ofno annual charge. Total assessedproperty value of the MIT frater-nity system averages $134,500per house, with a reported highof $436,000 and a low of$38 ,000>.

Oakes further explained tothe council that food prices aresomewhat more uniform, withan average monthly cost perhouse of $1 5,500, with a high of$24,000 and a low of $10,800.The $15,500 per month averageworks out to a cost of $22.80per person per week throughoutthe fraternity system.

papers with a fifteen minutediscussion period after every twopresentations. The first speakerswere Zenon S. Zannetos, pro-fessor at the Sloan School andProf R. J. Deam of the Univer-sity of London. Deam dealt witha summary of oil transportationstudies, while Zannetos dis-cussed supertankers and thetransportation of oil in the1970's.

Deamhs started his paper byexplaining that a large factor inthe cost of oil in the majorconsuming countries is that oftransportation by ocean tanker.He also said that operating costsof tankers per ton mile decreasewith increasing tanker size, butthe price actually paid oil alsodepends upon the supply/demand characteristics in the in-t erna tio nal market for oiltankers of different sizes.

The next two papers weregiven by R. L. Gordon of PennState and R. R. Spore from OakRidge, concerning the future ofcoal and the opportunity costsof land use and surface mining.Gordon said that coal's "com-parative position will improve inthe near future as no new energysources will overrun coal." Hewent on to explain that "the

pessimism about coal stems fromthe relative optimism about oiland natural gas. Because coal is asolid containing large amountsof impurities, the environmentalconsiderations strengthen thearguments for oil and naturalgas." He also said "coal has itsdisadvantages, while natural gasis the nearest thing we now haveto al ideal fuel."

The final two papers weregiven by J. Da Parent of theInstitute of Gas Teellnology, onan analysis of world energy sup-plies and by Henry Steele of theUniversity of Houston, on costtrends and the supply of crudeoil and natural gas in the USenergy market.

The final session papers con-cerned energy conservation.

Professor Whit e, director ofthe conference, commented onits success: "Although we had amuch larger attendance than weanticipated, we have receivedma ny favorable co mments ab~outthe conference." When askedabout the possible drawbacks tothe symposium White said, "Ifwe do this sort of thing again.and I hope we do, I would liketo see a broader range ofpresented papers, so that all pos-s i b I e vi e ws co ulId b erepresented ."

claim to be an educational institutionwith such an immense supression ofimportant ideas?

The hypocrisy of the MITadministration and academicestablishment is also overwhelming. Foryears it has claimed to be ardentlyopposed to what it calls "McCarthyism"and to be in favor of protecting the rightto dissent. Yet they are in fact excludingdissenting intellectual positions fromacademic discussion. How do theyreconcile those two positions?

Moreover, while the academiccommunity is denouncing discrimninationagainst racial minorities, why are theyfollowing a policy of irrational prejudice

rational arguments - not threats andintimidation - a change in these policies,they receive evasion of the issues, adhominem attacks, intimidation andsmears from the Provost and from theHead of the Philosophy Department.How can President Wiesner allow suchintolerance and irrationality among thosewho run MPIT?

By Frank PeseckisThe purpose of large educational

institutions (such as MIT, Harvard, andBoston University) is supposedly toprovide a broad education to students inmajor fields of study. These institutionsare supposed to be free marketplaces ofideas, where intellectual dissent isallowed, and where all significantviewpoints are represented. In fact,however. no such situation exists at theseinstitutions. Instead, views which dissentfrom the intellectual status quo areexcluded from courses in variousdepartments and supporters of thoseviews are excluded from the faculty...

Because of MIT's status in theacadenic community, I will concentratemy following remarks on the situationthere. Similar remarks will, however,apply to other universities as well.

T'his supression of dissent is not aquestion of individualist professors beingoutnumbered by some such ratio as tento one or even one hundred to one. Thereare no individualist professors in theentire School of Humanities and SocialSciences at MIT. Not one. We challengeMIT's President Wiesner, or any otheradministration official to name even onesupporter of individualist principles onthis faculty. This School has every varietyof collectivist represented, yet there isnot a. single libertarian. What this means isthat the entire tradition of the UnitedStates is ignored, for it was on the basisof individualist principles that thiscountry was founded. How can MIT

minorities?Further, when SDS types take over

buildings and try to shut downuniversities, they are pardoned for theircriminal actions, and are called"idealists," and are sometimes evengranted their demands by universityadministrations Yet. at MIT, when thereare students who are seriously concernedabout MIT's educational policies and whopeacefully request, on the basis of

request? Why are they afraid of a freemarketplace of ideas?

MIT claims to be a truly educationalinstitution, to have a respect for ideas andfor intellectual discussion and dissent. Ifthis is the case, there can be no goodreason for continuing the biased,anti-educational policies of indoctrinationwhich exist in M§IT's School ofHumanities and Social Sciences,particularly in the PhilosophyDepartment. An end to the supression ofintellectual dissent as soon as possible, ismandatory.

So far, we have been arguing fromMIT's own premise that it is aneducational institution. But MIT is aprivate institution in a (semi) free society;it has the right to refuse our requests. If itdoes so, however, then it renounces itsstated -goal of providing a liberaleducation to its students, one whichpresents to them all the significantintellectual positions in their field ofstudy, so that students may judge forthemselves what they will believe.Instead, MIT will become like a medievalchurch in which the allegedly intellectualelite hand down what is to be believedu n q u e s t i o n i n g 1 y b y i t sstudents-turned-subjects, and, in whichdissent is all but prohibited. If MITchooses that course of action, then theCommittee Against Bias in Education willappeal to the federal government to endall public funding of programs in MIT'sSchool of Humanities and SocialSciences.

By r~ark P. FishmanWith the start of another spring semes-

ter comes inevitably the third lAF ques-tionnaire. What we have not seen andprobably will not see is the first fallsemester questionnaire. Why has therebeen so little formal inquiry Into theeffects of the revised calendar on fallacademic standards and procedures?

I refer in part, of course, to thefamiliar problem of how one compressesa fifteen week syllabus into twelve weeks;but more important is the combinedeffect of the January IAP and the trendaway from three-hour final examinations.Currently, any student taking fivesubjects can expect to have onethree-hour final, three in-class one-hourquizzes and two term papers coming duein the last one-and-a-half weeks beforeChristmas vacation. What is worse, thethree quizzes will almost undoubtedly bescheduled for the last two days of classes,effectively eliminating one's readingperiod.

The net result of one's teachers'attempts to be "kind" by not giving finalexams is to shorten the semester by anadditional week and to ensure that onereally has not got adequate time toprepare fcor quizzes and type term papers.An eleven week semester followed bywhat (for many people) amounts to a sixweek intersession break is a travesty ofthe educational process.

There is no denying the validity of the1AP as an important part of the MITintellectual environment; but what is tobe done about the -incredible pressureplaced on instructors of fall subjects toshorten their syllabi? One attemptedsolution has been increased use of thearade of "I" to permit completion ofpapers and; "self-study" subjects after theChristmas holiday. The Committee onAcademic Performance (CAP) has rightlydeplored this perversion of the gradingsystem (producing this fall's 8.01 results- Thle Tech, February 6, 1973),apparently without facing the fact that itis calendar revision and not' la>; gradingwhidh has been responsible for those fallIncompletes multiplying like rabbits.

I have available two solutions to all ofthese problems. In a less enlightened time,

that which I shall propose first wouldhave gotten me burred as a heretic; I mayyet find myself bronzed and planted inthe Great Court as an example to futuredissidents. The second solution meritsserious consideration from both the CAPand the Calendar Committee noW, whiethere are still undergraduates around whoremember an unhurried fall semester.

A modest proposalEliminating the Christmas-New Year's

vacation, excepting the two daysthemselves, would have the effect of"creating" an extra two weeks foracademic pursuits. The resulting timecould be used for finishing "those otherthree chapters on which we have fallenbehind schedule," or reinstituting areading period without classes, or even(God forgid?!) grading final in-classquizzes before end-of-term- Also, withmore class time available, the question ofextending coursework into January neednot be as pressing or as widespread as itnow appears to loom.

Don't shoot, I was just jokingA more realistic view is that papers

and reading could undoubtedly be doneover that Christmas holiday, and quizzesand finals could then be scheduled for thefirst week-and-a-half after New Year'sweekend. IAP would start approximatelyJanuary 15 and end approximatelyFebruary 10, being about four weeks long(as presently). Spring semester would bedelayed, therefore, only about one week'stime. There is more slack than that in thecalendar during June, and this would takethe Institute one week closer to fullyear-round operation, the possibility ofwhich is currently under study byVice-President Kennetlh R. Wadleigh (ThleTech, December 5, 1972).

This plan, retaining as it does theDecember-January break, has the addedadvantage of pushing the IAP to a time ofyear when there is likely to be more snowon the slopes than in early January. Andit does not shorten the spring semesternor interfere with other aspects ofcalendar revision. The way is stiil clear fora full-scale summer session ofapproximately fourteen weeks duration ifthat should prove desirable.

~~~I~~~ ha~~~~~ veC co rXtIIIan I 'ILettuce

To the Editor:Next Wednesday, February 21, Cesar

Chavez and 20 farmworkers fromCalifornia fields will march along Bostonstreets in support of the nationwidelettuce boycott and the boycott of A & PPood stores. I should like to bring to theattention of MIT students and faculty theimportance of the march and of thelettuce boycott in general.

It has become almost trite to point outthat the workers on huge corporate farmsare among the most exploited workinggroups in the country, yet the facts arestill staggering. An average farm workerearns wages well below the minimum for.industrial workers; he is not covered bymedical' plans, unemploymentcompensation, overtime pay, sick pay,collective bargaining laws, or child laborlaws. He and his family, including youngchildren, work nine to twelve hours a dayin fields where no sanitary facilities areprovided and pesticides are sprayedduring work hours; working toge ther thefamily averages $2700 a year. Health andhousing conditions are extremnely poor,accidents are 300% more common thanthe average for industry, and the lifeexpectancy of the farmworker is 49years.

The United Farmworkers, organizingaround specific issues such as these, wonimportant gains in the conditions of grapepickers in 1970. Fearing such successes,many large lettuce growers have signedsweetheart contracts with Teamsterleaders to avoid bargaining directly withtheir workers. As a result, 85%0 of thecountry's lettuce is either non-union orTeamster 'union" lettuce. The onlyrealistic and legal way to force thegrowers to recognize their workers'choice of a union is through economicpressure: to cause stores and institutions,through consumer demand, to refuse allnon-union lettuce. A & P. the country'slargest food store chain, immediately andconsistently broke agreements with theUnited Farmworkers and has sincerefused to negotiate the issue at all.

For these reasons we of UFW urgeMIT as an institution to comply with thelettuce boycott by agreeing to serve nonon-union lettuce in its dining halls; andwe urge the students and faculty toboycott all non-union lettuce anywhereand to rally behind Cesar Chavez and thefarmworkers at 10 am Wednesday infront of Fanueil Hall.

Fresh7man Seminars!

To the Editor:Please note that the Undergraduate

Seminar Program (alias FreshmanSeminar Program) was begun in 1961 not1969 as stated in the Pass/Fail article onpage I of The Tech, February 13, 1973.Also, Mr. Giguere's quote about thegrading system does not quite make thepoint. What I said was that seminars are'pass/fail and always have been and that Iwould not expect this to change ifFreshman Pass/Fail is eliminated.

To the Editor:In line Mwith your new policy on errors,

allow me to observe that the FreshmanSeminar did not begin in 1969 (indeed, Itook one in 1962). More likely thecorrect date is l 95 9.

To the Editor:Regarding the recent increase in price

announced for the dining service, it mightbe worth roting that Tech Square house,which serves the same sort of food as thedining service, and probably is run tomake a sizeable profit, has prices whichare lower than dining service, which is notnecessarily a profit making operation.

According to the SurgeonGeneral's report, exposure to to-bacco smoke is "indeed hazard-ous to the health of the non-smoker." It has been reportedthat tobacco smoke creates dis-comforts such as runny nose,headache, bleary eyes, andcough, for a substantial per-centage of non-smokers.

Both teams, showing theeffects of a gamne the nightbefore, appeared disorganizedand listless in the early minutes.Neither side could mount acontinued' attack. Kenlney,however, beat the Lehigh goaliewith a perfect shot to the lownear corner of the net to drawfirst blood. A fine individualeffort by Rob Hunter '73 nettedTech's second score. Skating thelength of the ice, he let go awhistler from the blue line topush the tally to 2-0.

Lehigh battled back to tiethings at 2-all with a score on1 arebound at 19:24 of the firststanza and on a clear breakawaywhile short-handed at 3: 1 0 ofthe second.

At this point, MIIT appearedto come alive. Casler startedthings at 4:38, scoring easilywith the goalie out of position.A pictulre pass from John Miller'73 at the blue line set up IanFisher '74 breaking across for asecond score two minutes later.Casler rammed home a loosepuck at 9:19 with Steve Warner'73 picking up one of his fourassists, and seconds later TomLydon, '73 added a score,increasing the margin to 6-2.

By Mike CharetteThe MIT varsity track team

took sixth place in the GreaterB o s t[ o n I nd o'o r TrackChampionships held at Harvardlast Friday and Saturday.Although the team showing of16 points was unimpressive ascompared to winner Harvard's1 20 points there were severalindividual standouts for MIT.

Co-captain Brian Moore '73took second place in the weightthrow with a toss of 56'11 ", justan inch and a half short of thewinning throw by Harvard'sJaeger. Junior John Pearsontook third in the event with agood 56'5" effort. Moore alsotook fifth place in the 16-1b.shot with a 49'5" put.

In the running events, it wasElliott 'Flash' Borden '73 whotook third place in the 440 yardrun with a time of 0.5, just onetenth of a second behind firstplace. Borden led most of therace until unable to hear thecries of "Watch out, Elliott"

from the MIT spectators, he waspassed on the last turn by aHarvard and a Northeasternrunner. 13Borden also took firstplace in his qualifying heat witha 50.9 effort.

Long-distance runner JohnK auf mann '73 registered apersonal best in the two milewith a 9:06.2 fifth place finish.Kaufmann improved 13 secondsover two weeks ago and has achance at surpassing BenWilson's record at the NewEnglands later this month.

The pole vault saw co-captainDave Wilson '73 take third placewith a 15 foot leap. Wilsonpassed at 15'1.5", but failed inhis efforts to clear 15'6". JimKleiger of Harvard won theevent with a soaring 16'6"bound and established a NewEngland record.

MIT's hopes for future trackstars brightened as freshman JeffBaerman ran the 1000 yard runin 2:18.8. His time was onlyone-half second shy of the MEIT,freshman record.

ZOO, who had 58V/2 points Witi

a 10-2 record, and Tim Schille-'72 and J. Christ '73 of the NCNAMES, also with 581/2 point-and a 9-3 record. The third palconsisted of Dave Lockwood '7-and Larry Kahn '75 of the NCNAM1]ES with 55 points and9-3 won-loss total.

The ZOO's first pair goin-into the tournament, Bill Renk-'73 and Craig Schweinhart '73finished lower than expected because Renke, the, teamn catair-became ill Saturday afternooland was unable to play at all o--Sunday. The other MIT pairwere Ross Gallon '73 and T.DIndian '72 of the ZOO, and JinMarlin '73 and Sue Shrut of th;NO NAMES.

In the "B" Division, MIT "B'placed first, f ollowed b-Toronto, second, and MIT "C7third.

In winning its second strairContinentals, MIT receivednew, hand-carved hardwood trephy which has been in the making for a year.

The MIT-ZOO3 team, sparkedby a strong performance of theirthird pair, won the North Ameri-can Tiddlywinks Championshipthis past weekend at Cornell.

The MIT-NO NAM1ES, MIT'sother "A" Division entry, corn-pleted the sweep by placingsecond with l ll points to theZ ,O's 117 2/3 points.HYTH NLBTWO3C (see . heTech, February 7) finished adistant third with 751/2 and wasfollowed closely by the Somner-villains with 73 5/6.
