of 1991 will be rated more heav-ily with regard to interpersonalskills and personal accomplish-ment, according to Bonny S.Kellermann '72, associate direc-tor of admissions. While, mathand science ability will still becrucial in admissions decisions,performance in humanities willbe given added weight, Keller-mann said at Monday's forum onthe freshman year.

The new system should notchange MIT's character drastical-ly, but should strengthen diversi-ty, Kellermann said.

One significant move for in-creased diversity was the largepercentage of women admitted tothe Class of 1990, Kellerrnannnoted. Although women were re-cruited more heavily this pastyear, admission is still "sex-blind," with no sex quotas, she

The lecture room mood andenvironment are big factors instudent-teacher interaction, Mac-Vicar said, and the physicalteaching facilities are a "criticalfactor in how successful you arein getting the kind of educationyou want."

Needed: more flexible classrooms

There is a definite'shortage ofsmall seminar-type rooms forclass sizes of 15 to 30, Sirnhasaid. MacVicar perceived a needfor more flexible rooms to ac-commodate discussion-orientedclasses as well as blackboard-ori-ented ones.

The largest math and sciencelecture halls - 26-100, 6-120 and

The Planning Ofi~ce will sooncomplete a study of all class-rooms and large and small lec-ture halls for MacVicar. Directorof Planning 0. Robert SimhaMCP '57 said the study considerswhat educational needs therooms could be made to serve,seeking "what's the right mix andwhat we can afford."

MacVicar and Simha pointedto Huntington Hall (10-250) asan example of successful renova-tion of a large hall. The roomhad austere wooden furnishingslike those in 6-120 before it wasrenovated several years ago.

Dissatisfaction with the largemath and science lecture halls

By Kalie SchwarzSeveral classrooms and large

lecture halls will need major ren-ovations in the next few years,according to Dean for Under-graduate Education MargaretL. A. MacVicar '65. These ren-ovations may become one of-theobjectives of the Institafe's up-coming fund drive, she said.

explained.Freshman involvement low

About 25 students were presentat the forum, an activity of theUndergraduate Association's Stu-dent Life at MIT week. Much ofthe discussion concerned the lackof freshman involvement in cam-pus activities. One problem thestudents cited was the heavyworkload, which kept them toobusy to really get involved.

"We need to wake up and lookaround; there are other things

t out there besides problem setsand tests," Jeffrey A. Meyer '90said. "Freshmen can't let MIToverpower them."

"In high school we all gotgood grades and had time ferextra-curriculars," Kimberly A.Pace '90 added. "^Now we mustmake some choices."

t Another suggested cause of lowfreshman involvement was thefailure of freshmen to make gooduse of pass/fail.

"We need to make it obviousto freshmen that their grades arehidden; they can't be releasedwithout the student's consent."Kellerniann said.

Kellermann and Marie A. Dan-ziger, assistant dean at the Un-dergraduate Academic SupportOffice, emphasized that first yeargrades are not used in awarding

Undergraduate Research Oppor-tunities Programs or student em-ployment.

Kelleimarn mentioned that al-though freshmen interested inmedical school worry aboutfreshman grades, she knows ofonly one major medical schoolthat requests them.

Freshmen should relax and letpass/fail ease their transition intoMIT, according to Kellermannand Danziger. It should allowfreshmen to sample classes andexplore majors.

Rush is intense

Opinions on freshman rushwere varied; some felt that it was'too much, too soon," but otherswere especially happy with theweek.

"Rush is an incredible time. Itinitiates us into the MIT exper-ience," Alanr Davidson 789 said."Rush is a lot like MIT life - in-tense and hellish."

Some complained that fall rushdid not allow freshmen adequatetime to choose a living group.They also felt it gave freshmen abad initial image of MIT.

"One week is too rushedabout," Pace felt. "We don'twant students to think that theirfour years here are all going to bethat crazy.'

Soviet-American stereotypes

Both Americans and Russianshave stereotypical views each oth-er, Sakharov said. Americans seeRussians as glum, boring, uni-form in language and dress, andpoised to take over the world.Russians see Americans as war-mongering cowboys, always aftera suitcase of money. These mis-conceptions on both sides causemisunderstandings that are avoid-able and unnecessary, he assert-ed.

The CIA and KGB both leantoo much on these stereotypes intheir intelligence reports, Sak-harov said. Soviet studies doneby the CIA must state things thatthe agency likes, he explained.Similarly, Russian agents whowrite reports back to the SovietUnion generally reiterate the offi-cial opinion of their government.- Soviet foreign policy is essen-

said. He gave the analogy of aboy who repeatedly exchanges aquarter for pennies and vice-versa, waiting for a clerk to makea mistake. The Soviets must use apolicy like this because of theirvery limited resources, Sakharovexplained.

The United States should try tobe more aware of Soviet policywhen formulating its own, Sak-harov suggested.

Operatives' 'lack of languageability contributes to the ClA'smisinterpretation of the SovietUnion, Sakharov continued. Be-cause many college graduateswho work for the CIA have littleor no ability in the language ofthe country they are sent to, theyare only able to get a feel of thepeople who can speak English.This paints a rosy picture becausethose who speak English are gen-erally people who are wealthyand have benefited from Ameri-can influence, Sakharov said.

KGB agents, however, are re-quired to know foreign lan-guages, Sakharov said. They evenreceive a salary bonus for kno,-ing foreign tongues - 20 percentfor exotic languages and 10 per-cent for Western languages, he

Building codes require a mini-mum distance from the front of aseat to the back of the chair infront of it, he explained, andsince the new seats would be larg-er than the old ones the rowswould have to be farther apart.

"You can eat up the better partof a million dollars very quickly,"he said.

Brown ranked physical up-grades in general as one of theSchool of Science's top prioritiesin the fund drive, along with sup-port of students, support of fac-ulty salaries, and research fund-ing for junior faculty.

He expected that the AcademicCouncil will also see lecture hallrenovation as a "fairly highpriority."

(Continued from page 1) .that it is now difficult to reliablyshow slides in a typical class-room. She also suggested thatProject Athena may somedayprovide many classrooms with fa-cilities for class demonstrations.

Reno'ations a top objectivefor School of Science

The faculty perceives a "lackof large lecture halls conducive togood teaching," said Dean of Sci-ence Gene M. Brown. He favoredfunding major renovationsthrough the Institute's imminentfundraising campaign.

There are many technical prob-lems in renovating the older lec-ture halls, warned Senior VicePresident William R. Dickson'56. "There is not a heck of a lotthat you're ever going to do with26-100," he explained.

Replacement of the old wood-en seats with modem upholsteredones would entail rebuilding allthe platforms, he pointed out.

What's your pleasure? Thinly sliced pastrami? Curried chicken withrice? Or how about a shrimp salad or duckling and raspberry sauce?No matter-because as long as your taste is for great food-you'lifind it at the S&S. And you'll find it all at a pleasing price. Just asfolks have since 1919,,the year the S&S opened. While great diningwill never change, the restaurant has. Today, the S&S is all new,twice as large, with a full bar. And a lot more fun.

Though some Congressmen are praising the proposal, ithas drawn fire from Congressman Claude Pepper, whosays the plan does not cover Alzheimer's disease, Parkin-son's disease, long-term nursing home care, prescriptiondrugs, dental work, or hearing aids. (AP)

Aquino signs nlew constitutionPhilippine President Corazon Aquino signed a newly

ratified constitution on Wednesday that restores to thePhilippines a US-style democracy which had been dis-mantled by dictator Ferdinand Marcos 14 years ago.

Aquino signed the new charter in a televised ceremony,in which she led her Cabinet and members of the SupremeCourt in swearing allegiance to the new constitution, theeighth for the nation since its revolution against Spain in1892.

The new constitution provides for a presidential systemof government and a bicameral legislature. Congressionalelections are scheduled for May 1987. (The Boston Globe)

Two Cambridge city councillors have introduced a newanimal rights ordinance that calls for far less regulationof animal research in Cambridge than a measure pro-posed in September by animal rights activist~s.

The new ordinance, proposed by Cambridge CityCouncillors Firank Dtuchay and Alice Wolf, would requireall institutions conducting animal research in Camnbridgeto file reports on animal research with the health com-mi~ssioner, who would be responsible for investigatingcomplaints 'about the -treatment of animals used in re-search or product testing.

A special White House commission investigating theIran-contra affair has uncovered new information linkingthe National Security Council to private efforts to aid theNicaraguan rebels during a period when such activity wasbanned by law, according to sources familiar with thecominission's work.

The commission, Headed by former Senator JohnTower of Texas, announced Wednesday that because ofthe "recent acquisition of new material," it would need anextra week to complete its report.

The nature of the new material was not disclosed. Thecommission is now scheduled to issue its report on Feb.26.

I've wanted to be white. I can'tlie. It's a very hateful thought,one which I never did want to ad-mit. And so it seems the forces ofracism have won.

If race is sanity, then am Ischizophrenic?

It's Wednesday night. We aresitting in a cafeteria at MIT, at-tending the dinner colloquium onplurality. The Institute is tryingto come to grips with its racialproblems. You turn to me andask, "Tom, what's it like beingan Asian-American at MIT?"

I have often thought of myselfas a white man on the inside, ayellow man on the outside, andnobody can see through the dis-guise. But it's got to be more

(Please turn to page 5)

There are barriers between youand me. There are things thatshould be said, that are often leftunsaid. There are things I haveexperienced which you have not,and vice-versa.

Amid the clatter of forks andknives upon china, we finally findit safe to speak our minds. May-be it's easier to talk to each otheras we stare into our food.

If race is identity, then who amrI?

We are sitting in a San Josetruckers' stop which has recentlybeen converted into a Thai res-taurant. A gray-haired Orientalwoman sits at the counter, staringinto space. The waitress serves uscoconut soup as people bowl inthe lanes next door.

The question at hand is:"When did you come over toAmerica?"

This question surprises me,catches me off guard. We havebeen apartment-mates for threemonths now, can't you tell that Iwas born here?

Then my surprise turns to an-ger. I'm American just like you.My parents are Chinese, yoursare Polish. It just so happens thatI'm not white. But in a worldwhere visual appearance is every-thing, people assume that I knowhow to speak Chinese. Theydon't expect you to speak Polishor German or French or Italian.They assume that I was born insome distant land that, in fact,I've never been to.

Finally, my anger turns toguilt. Hey, waitaminute. Whyshould it bother me that peoplethink I am a foreigner? The fakeanswer is: I don't like it when

people make assumptions aboutmy identity. Identity should notbe based on appearance. The realanswer is: I don't want to be dif-ferent. I want to belong. I sufferfrom the ultimate form Of xeno-phobia. I want to eradicate thealien within myself.

This is a dangerous feeling.If race is pride, where does

that pride stern from?I know people who have stud-

ied their roots. It's very impor-tant for them to find out wherethey came from. But is it possibleto live on your own, withoutknowing your heritage? I don'tthink so. If you don't know yourancestors, and you don't knowyour parents' language, it be-comes a lot easier to misunder-stand yourself, to feel sorry foryourself, to hate yourself. in thesame way, it's impossible to un-derstand minorities' problemswithout knowing somethingabout their heritage.

We are sitting in a restaurantnear Stanford University. Underthe dim lights of this naturalfood joint, we discuss race. Youask me, "Have you ever been in-sulted because you are Chinese?"

"Of course," I reply. My God,don't you guys realize what mi-norities go thirough?

"Have you ever wished thatyou were white?" you ask.

A positive answer impliesshame. Isn't one of the mosttragic results of racism the shameit often instills in children ofcolor? The question sends meback to the sixth grade, when ahigh-schooler walked up to me,called me a "gook," and spit inmy face. The child asks: "What

the ongoing, 17-month-old strikeof over 1000 Californian canneryworkers, will be speaking at Har-vard this weekend.

The Watsonville strike is sig-nificant in many ways, particular-ly as a show of strength and de-termination of the mostlyChicano/Mexicano workers in re-sponse to the Watsonville Can-ning Company's unnegotiatedand unexpected wage and benefitscuts. Other nearby Californiacanneries are also pendent on theoutcome of this important strike.A worker's loss would probablysignify similar contract benefitand wage cuts for cannery work-ers as a whole.

Three months after their con-tract had expired, WatsonvilleCannery Co. - one of the larg-est producers of frozen food pro-ducts in the world -offered theworkers a 40 percent wage cut-from $6.66 an hour to $4.75, aswell as cutbacks in vacation andhealth benefits. The cannery alsostopped deducting union duesfrom the workers' paychecks.

relationship to its medium. Wesee film as a possibly realistic me-dium: we can believe it literally.But whether or not the movie hasbeen truthful (which is not thesame as realistic) is a question Iwill leave to the people who havebeen there.

If "Platoon's" faults are re-deemed then, as Peter Dunn ar-gues, it is not thanks to some"realism" - which it owes to ouracceptance of the conventions ofits own medium - but thanks tothe beauty of some shots andsounds.

ErratumTwo errors appeared in a letter ["Report should be read in

The first sentence of the sixth paragraph should read:"Stating that racism is in the constitution of this country be-

comes an understatement when one recognizes that racism is inthe Constitution of this country."

Also, the final paragraph should read:"Perhaps the essential message embedded in the Black Alum-

ni Survey is-the feeling that many seemed to have of being un-known and unwelcomed in the MIT environment. To put it inpersonal terms, the anguish arises not so much from the factthat you do not know me, but from the fact that you continueto view me and treat me as if you do. Perhaps we can all striveto know each other better - in the name of a better MIT envi-ronment and a better world.

"Platoon" didnot resemble"Comrnando"To the Editor:

I was surprised to see ArnoldSchwarzenegger's name in the listof "we won the war" Vietnamfilms in Peter Dunn's review of"Platoon."

Apparently he has not actuallyseen "Commando." It has noth-ing to do with Vietnam, and itspolitics are not at all blatant. Itsmakers apparently understoodthat people go to adventure mov-ies for violence, not politics.

In fact, things are quite am-biguous in the beginning of themovie. The hero's daughter hasbeen kidnapped by officials of thedeposed government of an unspe-cified Latin American country inorder to force him to assassinatethe head of the new government,which he had helped to gain pow-er. At this point one can projectone's own politics on the movieby choosing an appropriate re-cent revolution or coup for ourhero to have been involved in.

But things get more specificlater on in the movie, when hebreaks free from his captors andgoes to their base on a Califor-nian island to free his daughternThis raises the question, "Whatgroup of soldiers and officials ofa deposed government wouldhave the clout to get away withrunning a military base in theUnited States?"

Apparently Schwarzeneggerwas massacring contras.

Ribman 's "Sweet Table " overflows with puzzling and. rustrating ideas

la-Di is M M

Dusseau's forehead, he whispers, "She sitsin an arc of the beauty of light and seesthe dark beyond.... Oh, lady who hasoutlived her usefulness." Perhaps directorAndrei Serban suggested that the actorsspeak slowly and overdramatically lest theaudience miss the play's meaning.

Unlike other groups in the city, the ARTis truly a repertory ensemble, and a superbone. Though physically the most powerfuland frightening, Ken Howard's sensitiveportrayal of Bottivicci was the play's onlynote of warmth or humanity. He was theother characters' Great Comforter.

Nestor Serrano, with broad strokes ofhumor, played his Henri Dusseau as amustached D)ick Dasterdly - a dashing,wicked flirt. When the ridiculous Italiangigolo, Franco Boupacha (Thomas Der-rah), pulls a knife on Dusseau, his charac-ter is transformed in a moment into onewho could murder without thought.

Harriet Harris as the trash novelist, Mi-mosa Klein, was a chain-smoking, unre-strained artiste. Lucinda Childs as JeanineCendrars was remarkably wooden. Childs,best known as a dancer and choreo-grapher, is not an actor.

John Conklin's gorgeous set, in tones ofred and brown, was a heathen place ofworship with the sweet table its altar. Incontrast to the dark, airless hotel, Conklinplaced a huge window upstage looking outon glowing, snow-capped mountains.

The opening snowstorm scene was veryfunny and original. Conklin formed hisblue sky and snowstorm from a billowing,white sheet by shining varicolored lightsunderneath it. The actors zipped them-selves out of the sheet as if emerging froma snowdrift.

"Sweet Table" was puzzling. And oddlyfrustrating. The play alludes to mysticalhappenings, but never gives any hint as towhat these might be. It refers in the dia-logue to ideas of unfulfilled destinies, ofthe unimportance of time, and of degener-ation of the world, but does not developthese. It was somewhat didatic in its use ofthe overflowing sweet table symbolism.Frau von Kessel says, "We're just trying tosettle our stomachs with sweets and youkeep annoying us with horrors."

Nevertheless, the play's warning is dis-turbing. "The future is there. It's justwaiting for someone to notice it." Botti-vicci is the "Sweet Table's" characters' fu-ture. He warns them that if they wouldonly know themselves, they could halt thehorror of their present lives and their des-tinies. But they refuse to listen. They con-tinue to stuff themselves at the sweet table.After all, as Dr. Atmos says, "It's stilloverflowing ."

alone and lost, in a snow storm. An oldwoman (Elizabeth Franz) and her driverappear out of the storm in a sleigh. Theold woman calls her to get in, but the dis-oriented woman does not understand. Asthe sleigh is about to leave, the youngwoman, finally realizing her plight, gets in.

The sleigh was heading toward the Ri-chelieu Hotel, an exclusive spa, where thebragging old woman, Frau von Kessel,says she goes every year. A vicious argu-ment ensues as the old woman, dressed ina heavy fur coat, refuses to share her blan-ket. The old woman throws bizarre insultsat the young woman: "Why should I sharewith the lower class?... You should haveyour ovaries rernoved!" They arrive at thehotel where a reservation has mysteriouslybeen made for the young woman underher name, Mrs. Cendrars, and her luggagedelivered.

At this point, I thought the play was go-ing to evolve into a variation of Sartre's"No Exit." But although Sartre's themesare also of lost souls, hiding behindmasks, and hell being the presence of oth-er people, there is something peculiar andunique about the reality of Ribman'splays. A familiar scene is presented, which

then flickers and dissolves into ridiculousor frightening tones.

The setting and plot seem familiar en-ough. Like an overstuffed Victorian dramaor a lavish 1930's film, tuxedoed andgowned characters parade into the sumnp-tuous great room of the Richelieu Hotelwhere the guests collect for an evening ofharmless chit-chat and who's-who. But, vi-sually, the set is fantastical, playing outFrau von Kessel's complaint that, "Theworld degenerates until nothing is left thatone recognizes." A huge sweet table domi-nates, overflowing with chocolates, pas-tries, sticky sweets of all kinds. As thecharacters enter, they go directly to the ta-ble to gorge themselves.

The Richelieu's guests are the interna-tional jet set. Mimosa Klein (Harriet Har-ris) is a famous novelist, Frau von Kessel isthe wife of a famous bath fixture manu-facturer. And are we in for an evening ofharmless chit-chat? The characters do notmerely insult one another in glib, harmlessways but rip relentlessly into one another,attacking each other's prides and illusions.

Richelieu's inhabitants thrive on intensecruelty especially. if they are married toone another. Familiarity breeds contempt.Mimosa Klein hisses to her lover, FrancoBoupacha (Thomas Derrah), that he is adwarf and tells him about all her otherlove affairs. He laughs, as if she has told aclever joke, and asks her if she would likesome dessert. He laughs again as he re-turns the insult - she writes supermarkettrash.

Henri Dusseau (Nestor Serrano) hateshis wife (Sandra Shipley) so much that hepushes her off a sofa as he tries to kiss theneck of Mimosa. Dr. Atmos (JeremyGeidt), who announces that he is not reallya physician, tells everyone that Mrs. Cen-drars' husband is divorcing her.

Just as this clever interplay becomes ter-minal, just as everyone in the room hasbeen insulted into painful numbness, theirlittle fantasies revealed in the name of fun,Cesare Bottivicci (Ken Howard), the clair-voyant, enters in a blaze of white light andthe sound of singing birds. He looks like awerewolf. He says he looks that way be-cause he is completely honest with himself.Oh. And he is completely honest with ev-eryone else. In a tense, overdramatic mo-ment he places his hand on Frau von Kes-sel's forehead in a clairvoyant way and seesthat she is a nasty old woman. Referringto the characters' destinies he warns, "Thefuture is already there. It is just waitingfor someone to notice it."

Ribman's use of language is finely craft-ed and poetic, especially in Bottivicci'sspeeches. As he places his hand on Frau

By BARBARA A. MASI

HY DID CESARE BOTTIVICCI,

the clairvoyant in RonaldRibman's "Sweet Table atU r~~the Richelieu," look like a

werewolf? This and other questions wereon everyone's minds after viewing theworld premiere of Ribman's play lastWednesday night at the American Reperto-ry Theatre (ART). Cruel witticisms saidwith a smile, a bored, bejeweled upper-class, and an elegant mountain spa werethe base upon which Ribman built somelovely, but unfinished, ideas.

The play's opening scene was a minia-ture of the entire work. A young woman(Lucinda Childs) in a thin black coatstands smiling up at a clear blue sky. Sud-denly the sky turns white, transformingthe moment. She finds herself wandering,

hockeyoff the ice scored the second,while the third came as confusionon the MIT bench gave Bowdoina breakaway.

Although most of the scoringwas done in the first two periods,the third was the most exciting.The Engineers. who had earlierhad trouble getting out of theirown zone, now seemed more atease. Their passes connectedmore often. The MIT defensewas halting Bowdoin at their ownblue line, stopping them fromracing up the ice.

The Engineers, with theirmuch improved defensive play,seemed to have clicked, but itwas much too late. Despite keep-ing the puck in the Bowdoinzone, the MIT players couldmanage few shots onto the net asshots were often deflected wide.The final goal of the game camewith only 13 seconds left in thegame on a rink-long surge by aBowdoin player, bringing the fi-nal score to 8-1.

By Peter DunnThe MIT men's hockey team

defeated Suffolk University by ascore of 4-3 in overtime lastTuesday at the New Athletic Cen-ter. The result of this close andexciting game raised the Beavers'record to 11-4-1.

After an uneventful first periodending in a 1-1 tie (MIT's goalcoming from Eric Brown '87),Suffolk took the lead.at the 12:14mark of a faster-paced secondperiod. But their lead did not lastlong; Rich Zermani '87 evened itup at 2-2 a little over three min-utes later.

The third period, sustainingthe excitement of the second, sawSuffolk again take the lead with10 minutes remaining in the

game. Fortunately, Zermani againevened the score with less thanthree minutes to play. Defense-man Rick Russell G won thegame for MIT with a goal at the8:49 mark in sudden deathovertime.

Brian Balut '87, replacing atcenter Jeff Bates '90 who hadbeen injured earlier in the game,helped set up three goals with ex-cellent forechecking. The line of

Brown, Per-Gunnar Ostby '89,and Gary Zentner '90 played ex-ceptionally well despite someproblems finishing plays. PeterGasparini '88 again put in a fineperformance in goal, stopping 38of 41 shots.

The MIT men's hockey teamsplays its last two home games ofthe season next week. The Bea-vers face Nichols College onWednesday, Feb. 18, and Skid-more College on Friday, Feb. 20.

The MIT team certainly hadthe faster skaters as its only realscoring opportunities during thefirst period came on breakaways.But the Engineers did not putthis speed to their best advantageas they often relied on slower gi-ve-and-go and passes off theboards instead of faster forwardpasses.

As with the previous period,the Bowdoin goals were notscored over a long period ofsteady pressure but rather duringa short stretch when the Engi-neers seemed to lose their compo-sure - all three of the goalsscored against MIT during thesecond period came during the fi-nal three minutes.

The better defense was in partL due to better coverage of playersI in the slot but also due to stron-

team, sporting a 6-2-1 record andexpecting to avenge a defeat suf-fered earlier this season, enteredits game against Bowdoin Collegewith high hopes last Monday. Butmissing star player Jennifer A.Smith '87, the Engineers only puton an on-and-off performance asthey lost by a score of 8-1 beforea sizeable crowd at the New Ath-letic Center.

The game began well enoughas MIT won the initial faceoffand managed to keep the puck inthe Bowdoin zone. But after thatinitial burst, the tide turned asBowdoin took the play to the op-posite end of the rink and keptthe puck in the MIT zone formost of the remainder of the pe-riod.

The Engineers faced a multi-tude of problems. Bowdoin hadexcellent control of the puck be-hind the goal line, which gave thePolar Bears several scoring op-portunities with passes from be-hind and near the net. Thesepasses often found their marks asthe Engineers had trouble clear-ing players out of the slot early inthe game. The speed of the Bow-doin forwards was also a prob-lem for the Engineers. The PolarBears often stickhandled up therink so quickly that they re-mained unhindered all throughthe neutral zone.

Despite these-hindrances, theEngineers kept the game scorelessfor the first five minutes. TheMIT team thwarted Bowdoinscoring opportunities time andtime again. This was not to last,as Bowdoin finally put the puckpast goaltender Kelly Grant '86at the 5:26 mark. An MIT defen-seman's gaffe set up the goal, asshe fanned on the puck and thenfell on Grant, who was trying tosmother the puck. This left thenet open for an easy goal.

This first goal rattled the Engi-neers, as they lost composure and

'let in two more goals in the nextthree minutes. Bowdoin's controlof the puck behind the goal linewas evident in both these goals.In the first, a Bowdoin playertried stuffing the puck into theright side of the net and, initiallythwarted by Grant, took thepuck unhindered behind the netto slide it in on the opposite side.The third goal of the period cameat the 8:48 mark as a pass frombehind the goal line was slappedon the fly to squeeze betweenGrant's goal pads.

Down 3-0, the Engineers re-gained some of their composure;during the last ten minutes of thefirst period their defense tight-ened up, although they did allowone more goal on a pass from be-hind the goal line. Despite the 4-0deficit, the tide seemed to beslowly turning in MIT's favor.
