The Committee's decision to,charge each resident of the dor-mitory a small amount and to as-sess certain individuals largeramounts based on their allegedinvolvement in the events whichled to the damage, met withprotests from some residents.

At least,that is the start, of some type ofbroader review of scientific in-quiry. I am encouraged by theresponse of the institutions inrecognizing that this is going to bean ever-increasing problem andthat they had better come to gripswith it within their institutionalframeworks.

I believe MIT is going to spon-sor a seminar in the spring andthe summer to deal with the issueof limits to inquiry. I think thatwe have to face this issue, which isan exceedingly difficult one, wellin advance of having to be testedby it in a crisis situation.

I am sure that we will establishinstitutional vehicles or societalvehicles to resolve or reconcilethis issue and they will be inap-propriate, and fail. and will haveto be replaced, andil think that wemust start that process soon sothat when we do face a serious is-sue of genetic engineering we willhave a vehicle which has beentested and tried and proven tohave sorne utility in resolvingcomplicated, emotional issuessuch as this one.

Technical educationisn't always enough

By William LasserMany of the most pressing problems which America faces can be

traced directly to the philosophy of education which pervades our uni-versity system, and which is epitomized by the approach taken here.

The difficulties faced by our cities, by our government and by ourpeople are in a large sense the result of a narrow, ad hoc approach to aseries of individual problems, attempts at quick, short-term answers toquestions which require exactly the opposite tack.

MIT graduates especially are taught to consider only the immediateeffects of their actions, to be content with having staved off disaster foryet another day, to delude themselves into thinking that all that matters

is the present objective, and that futurecrises can be dealt with as they arise.

We become extraordinarily adept atconjuring up specific solutions to in-dividual problems. But we must be toldwhat to do at every step of the way. Weare never given the opportunity to look atthe real world from a wide angle; to deter-mine what is wrong and how we can goabout fixing it. Instead, we begin toresemble the intricate web of the Frenchunderground, in which everyone had a

task to perform but no one knew anything of what anyone else wasdoing.

A university, and most of all a university as great and influential asours, should educate its students by training them in the difficult art ofproblem-solving on the broadest possible levei. Instead. MIT teachesus to use the tools of science to respond deftly to the "present danger"only. without regard to the full picture of society.

Expertise in a field such as electrical engineering is sufficient toprovide one with a comfortable living and adequate prestige. But it isnot enough to give one the judgment and skill necessary to be thecatalyst of social change. Because the great scientists of history -Descartes, Galileo. Newton - were also humanists and philosophers,they are on a plane far above such inventors and technicians as Edison.Jenner and the Wright brothers.

It is impossible to use one's master) of a technical subject to full ad-vantage without some concept of its role within the broad picture ofsociety. Without a knowledge of the social sciences, without afamiliarity with literature. art and history, engineers and scientists arerelegated to being the mere instruments of other men, men who havethe dedication and inspiration to effect chanpg. but who lack the abilityto understand the techniques involved in doing so.

The solution to the fundamental problem of properly educatingengineers and scientists does not lie in simply foresaking the teachingsof Hallidav and Resnick for those of Fitzgerald and Faulkner. Rather,it involves the skillful combination of the two, the correct recipe whichprovides enough science and at the same time offers ai stronghumanistic background.

We are known as the best technical school in the world, despite theprotestations of a certain small institution in Pasadena. We have thepotential to produced the social entrepreneurs of the future, men andwomen who have both the commitment. the vision and the educationto assume the burdens of leadership in this, the age of technology.

The Media

TV sports coverage biasedBy Glenn Brownstein

Ever since former PresidentNixon battled with the newsmedia over whether they slantedtheir newscasts or reports for pur-poses of attack, the question hasbeen raised - are newspapersand the broadcast media biased?

While I feel that such regula-tions as the Fairness Doctrine andthe Equal Time provisions haveforced network news organizai-

tions to strive for evenly-balancedpresentations, no such stricturesapply to sports. I believe thatthere is an area of sports coveragewhere deception of a mild sort ispracticed and encouraged. It'ssomething like Richard Nixonhiring his own reporters/analyststo cover his speech on television.It's as if Dino DiLaurentisreviewed King Kong. What I'mspeaking about is the majorleague sports teams' practice ofhiring their own announcers.Dick Stockton and Hawk Har-relson aren't employees of Chan-nel 38, per se; they work for theRed Sox both in announcing andpromoting capacities.

Luckily for us viewers, manyteams choose nationally-renowned, largely unbiasedbroadcasters to do pIay-by-playwork; if Bob Cousy or BarryAshbee supply the color, no onewill argue. But there are"homers" in every sport, likeJohnny Most in Boston or BobPrince in Pittsburgh (nowHouston), that bring you thegame from the home fan's(interpreted more realistically asthe team management's) view. Theknowledgeable fan who tries towatch a Celtics game on TV whilelistening to Most on WBZ oftencannot believe his eyes, so dif-ferent are the two interpretationsof the game.

More annoying than in-terpretation, though, is the prac-tice of certain national an-nouncers of watching an instantreplay that seemingly contradictsan official's judgment, thenlauding the referee for a "goodcall." National announcers areusually hired by the network andapproved by the league; rarely, ifever, is an announcer hired if thenetwork approves but the leaguedoesn't.

In a famous case about tenyears ago, the refusal of a sportsbroadcaster to obey managementwishes at the. cost of objectivereporting led to his firing. "Red"

Barber, longtime Brooklyndodger and New York Yankeeannouncer, was doing a Yankeegame one cold, blustery nightwith very few fans in attendance- about 500 in the mammothconfines of Yankee Stadium -when a call came from theYankee management not to show'the small turnout.

Barber, while acknowledgingthe Yankees' desire to avoid un-

favorable publicity at a time whenthe team was safely ensconced inthe cellar, objected to the club'sinterference with the telecast.Thecrowd, indeed, was the smallest atthe ballpark since World War II,a legitimate news story eventhough, considering the weather,it was amazing even 500 fansshowed up. So Barber ordered ashot of the-crowd while mention-ing its size - and he was fired atthe end of the season.

One can find many examples ofon-screen bias, whether in the San

Francisco Bay Area's treatmentof the Franco Harris "im-maculate reception" in theOakland-Pittsburgh. playoff gamein 1972 or in the contrast betweenNew York and Boston reports ofthe Yankee-Red Sox melee lastspring. In the first case Pittsburghreporters expressed uncertainty asto whether the catch was legal,but hailed the victory anyway.The night after the game, BayArea TV stations replayed thecatch at least three times per newstelecast in an attempt to showhow the Raiders were "robbed."In the second case it was a simplecase of playing to the fans: if youwere in Boston, it was a sign ofYankee brutality, and if you werein. New York, Lee got what hedeserved; That's how newscastswere colored - not just commen-taries.

Maybe one solution to thisproblem of bias is to get rid ofmost of the ex-jocks on camera.Maybe a better solution is to al-low the stations to regain the ma-jor role in choosing announcers, apractice plainly abused by manyteams today.

Reader differs with criticon Sparks-Smith reviewTo the Editor:

Your recent item, "Both Sidesof the Record," raised two pointsthat require further discussion.We are referring to your "Editor'sNote" and to Ms. Perry's criticalanalysis.

An apology must be extendedto Ms. Perry for the unfortunateconfusion of gender in theoriginal letter. The unconscioussex role stereotypes representedby such mixups are a too frequentreminder of how little "con-sciousness" has been raised in thiscountry. However, we're afraidthat the blame for this episodemust rest with your editorial staff.The byline on the original articlewas "Claude Perry." In these cir-cumstances, it would have re-quired clairvoyance on yourreaders' part to discern that Ms.Perry was female.

Considering the absence of anynoticable musical talent inSparks, it is surprising that Ms.Perry is so ready to defend theirperformance. She agrees that theyare banal and childish. Perhapstheir subtle humor derives fromthe "rabid cult" following of such

a lackluster, mediocre act. Sparkscould certainly improvethemselves by gaining experiencein another field. Our concert hallsand record bins would .be muchimproved for their departurefrom the music scene.

Ms. Perry, who is sensitiveenough to appreciate PattiSmith's poetry, is unable to ap-preciate the same elements whenthey appear in Smith's music.While Smith and her band havenot always been consistent, theirmaterial and their performancesalways have an exciting elementof experiment present in only thebest bands. One does not deny theexperimentor's errors as one doesnot fail to praise his/her suc-cesses. Smith's music suggeststhe future; Sparks suggests onlya loud, monotonous present. Weare pleased -that your critic willremember Patti Smith forever;perhaps in that time she will learnto appreciate Smith's contribu-tion to Music.

MIT Dramashop clickswith Shaw's Misalliance

By Kathv HardisAlthough the MIT Dramashop's current

production of George Bernard Shaw'sMisalliance occasionally falters during theplay's long and difficult stretches of Sha-vian dialogue, it is, on the whole, very wit-ty, well staged under the direction ofJoseph D. Everingham. and most impor-tantly, %,erv funny.

Written in 1909, Misalliance is one ofShaw's least-known works. During thatperiod the already established playwrightwrote for his own enjoyment, and his playswere rarely performed because producersconsidered them to be too "talkv."

Misalliance is indeed talky; "nothingbut talk, talk, talk." as one character says.This talk stems from the play's ostensibleplot - the projected marriage between alord's son and an underwear manufac-turer's daughter - and proceeds to discusssocialism. British hypocrisy, popularliterature, and what Duchesses think ofmodern plumbing.

The theme of the play is that parents andchildren, having no free selection of oneanother. generally are poorly matched.This misalliance strikes Shaw as being farmore disasterous than a marriage betweenpersons of differing social positions.

Yet as Shaw reflects on the complexnature of familial relations. he touchesupon platitudes of democracx. truths ofaristocracy. fallacies ot romantic love. andreiat:or, Between socialism and capitalism.The p la ends up v ith too many themes tomake d comprehensive statement, but for-tunateix this overabundance of Shavianrhetor,k :s masked b .a cotmic plot.

The ,torv centers around the members ofa middle-class Engii-h famiix led bx Mr.Tarieton. an exuberant ixcoon who foundfinancial success in man's need for un-derxsear. He is the image of Shaw's youngfather, the drawing room atheist whoquotes his chosen gospels and urges hislisteners to read Ibsen. Tenn son, andsometimes even '"what's-his-name."(meaning Shaw himself.)

His lovely daughter Hspatia. engaged tothe tantrum-throwing son of a wearynobleman, is stifled b~ the leisures forcedupon her by her father's wealth andtherefore yearns for something exciting tohappen.

Something does happen. Iiterall out ofthe blue, as an airplane crashes into theTarleton's greenhouse. The plane is oc-cupied by a dashing 'oung aviator and aPolish lady acrobat who relaxes byjugglingsix oranges while reading the Bible.

The production's most consistently goodperformance is that of Gunner (AndrewPieka). a humorous would-be assasin andsocialist underdog w ho hides out inTarleton's turkish bath with the ironic in-tent of biting the hand that feeds him.

Also deserving acknowledgement areGar Mlaciag '78 as the cultured underwear

manufacturer. and Carolyn Curry. Wel-lesley '79, as his well-meaning wife,. affec-tionately yet aptly known as "Chickabid-dv."

Alison Heiserman, Wellesley '79, is verrgood as the emancipated young Hypatia,and Susan Morgello '78 gives an admirableperformance as the Polish fentmefalale, es- pecially in her long, disparaging speech 'about making love.

Although most of the performances do 'have their memorable moments, the overall : quality of the acting is uneven and weak in gcertain scenes. This is an understandableconsequence of the demands placed on theactors by their difficult roles which require -concentration, convincing characteriza-tion, and an astute sense of theatrical tim- '

ing.Also somewhat distracting to the

dialogue is the inability of some actors to ;-iiestablish an accent, either American orBritish, and to maintain it throughout the , play. :

The production is visually and technical-Iv excellent. The beautiful set. designed byWilliam Fregosi. complete with a stained lglass ceiling, marble pillars. and potted [_plants, gloriously characterizes a nouveau- riche Edwardian summerhouse. , ,ah ..

The wonderful costumes, designed byCecelia Eller, are historically accurate and i:appropriate to their characters. Thelighting, designed by Guv Arnos '77 andsunervised bh Edward S. Darna. is similar-tv *erx good.

George ieriard Sha,. must have en-joved Xwriting .tli.salliance. a work filled"ith wit, i:Kmor., interesting characters.and an equa,:;l interesting plot. It shoulddefinitely be ,een by an5 Shaw aficionado.De',pite the production's occasionaltheatrical weatknesses, it is still very funnyand very entertaining. Dave Davies performs with the Kinks at the Music Hall Saturday night.

Kinks going strong after 16 yearsBy Claudia Perry

Beginning their 16th year together, theKinks proved they can still electrify anaudience as they brought the first of twosold-out crowds to their feet at the MusicHall Saturday. The band, who in recentsears have become well-known for wittystage productions of their albums, calmedany fears about their ability to pace a con-cert without relying on dramatics. The setwas a skillful mix of old favorites and a fewcuts from Sleepwalker, their debut albumfor Arista.

Drama is still an element of any Kinksconcert. Lead singer/songwriter RayDavies' melodramatics blend perfectly withhis songs about alcohol, English publicschool and loneliness. One particularly finemoment came during his rendition of

"Alcohol," an ode to the evils of drink.when he balanced a bottle of beer on hishead. This event and the reggae-fied chorusof "You Make It All Worthwhile" were thecomic highlights of the evening.

Davies had no trouble controlling theaudience for nearly an hour and a half. Heconvinced the throng that he needed their

"Lola," one of the group's more well-known songs.

Although Ray is a mesmerizing per-former, the rest of the Kinks should not beslighted. Dave Davies, Ray's- youngerbrother and the group's lead guitarist, israpidly losing his title of rock's "mostimproved" guitarist. His solo during "The

Boston draws hometown ravesB, David B. Koretz

Barei, six months after their debutalbum was released on Columbia's Epiclabel. Boston seems destined to becomerock's next supergroup. The audience reac-tion to Frida? night's concert at the MusicHall -as a good indication of how far thegroup has come in a short time.

With a fervor usuallt reserved for es-tablished acts in the class of the Who orYes. Boston's hometow.n fans greeted thefive-man band with several standing ova-tions, the first before they even started toplay. More surprising. however. was thegroup's performance for their new-foundfollow ing.

Boston's set was professionally playedand almost polished, in sharp contrast totheir lackluster and poorly-producedwarm-up performance four months ago.

The band's repertoire has been increasedby about six or seven good songs. in addi-tion to those on their debut album, Boston.

Opening with "Rock & Roll Band," thegroup's lyrical introduction ("Well, we'rejust another band out of Boston.. .'), they

moved briskly through "Peace of Mind"and "Mlore than a Feeling." their goldsingle. A pair of tunes from an upcomingalbum followed; one of these was sur-prisingly mellow for this loud, hard-rocking band.

Other cuts played from the chart-topping album included "Foreplay,""Long Time." the aptly titled "Smokin',"and "Something About You." In addition,about three or four new songs were beltedout: and from what was played. their nextalbum should be as widely acclaimed astheir first.

Boston has been much maligned duringits short career as being little more than apromotional hype built around thetechnological histrionics of Tom Scholz'guitar. Scholz, who graduated from M ITwith a master's degree in' MechanicalEngineering. has invented severalelectronic gadets for his instrument, andbrings to the group the hard-driving soundinherent in everything it plays. He amazedthe Music Hall crowd with a magic showon his special-effects guitar after solos onacoustic guitar ariu orgall.

Singer Brad Delp performed like an oldpro. using the stage as a stomping groundand keeping the standing-room-only crowdin the palm of his hand throughout thenight, even venturing into the crowd during"Smokin'." Barry Goudreau, who playsboth lead and rhythm guitar (like Scholz).showed his prowess in solos and duelingduets with Scho!z.

Drummer Sib Hashian succeeded inhelping bass guitarist Fran Sheehan keepthe fast-moving beat. Sheehan was the onlyreminder of the group's early days of liveineptitude. often appearing at a loss on thestage or getting in someone else's way.

The unannounced warm-up group wasAce, who recorded the single "How long(has this been going on?)." The more mel-low English band brought the crowd ailivewith a reasonable set, but it was Bostonthat the more than 2,000 fans came to hear,and their enthusiasm was well rewarded.

By the end of their current tour. Bostonwill have acheived, in a remarkably shorttime, nationwide status as an excellent liveband, as well as an accomplished studiogroup.

Hard Way" shows that he knows morethan the three chords that got the Kinksthrough the first six years of their existence.These three chords were summoned upduring his blistering, rave-up solo in "YouReally Got Me," the group's first hit in thiscountry.

Dave is also responsible for the har-monies on many Kinks classics such as"Waterloo Sunset" and "Sunnv After-noon." It is rather sad that these were lostin the dreadful sound system.

Both Dave and Mlick Avory. the Kinks'drummer, have been with the band since itsinception. Avory, like Dave. has improvedimmensely since 1961. His steady but notrepetitive style has almost become theKinks' trade mark.

Keyboard player John Gosling,although with the 'band onlyiv since 1970,has been a definite asset. His mournfulorgan solo during "Alcohol" was quite ap-propriate. By contrast, his music hall pianostylings during "Acute SchizophreniaParanoia Blues" are ironic and amusing.

The bass line is a very important part ofmost Kinks songs. Saturday's concert sawthe unveiling of a new bassist; his per-formance is excellent considering hehas only been with the group one month.

The Kinks are jndeed one of rock's fineraggregations. The combination of RayDavies' songwriting and the band's abilityhas endured admirably for moref than adecade and a half. Saturday's performanceproved that they can endure for man) moreyears to come.

Basketball squadwins in overtime

By Glenn BrownsteinFreshman center Ray Nagem

spearheaded a sensational come-back to lead the MIT men'sbasketball squad to a 93-87 over-time win over Clark University atthe Rockwell Cage Saturdaynight.

Nagem's 17 rebounds and 26points, including the game-winning layup with 59 secondsleft in the overtime, paced theBeavers to their fifth victory in 14outings.

Every member of the MITstarting five hit over 50 per cent ofhis field goal attempts and theBeavers controlled the boards foronly the second time this year ingaining the victory. In fact, ifMIT had not shot a blazing 57.7per cent from the floor, the gamewould not have made it into over-time.

Clark roared to a 21-9 leadafter six minutes, but MIT whit-tled the margin down to two (31-29) before Clark opened it backup to eight at the half. TheCougars came out charged up inthe second half and built a 51-39lead in two minutes. but theBeavers neatly de-fused Clarkwith an incredible run of eightbaskets in eight shots. six of themfrom outside the foul lane. Clarkhit only one field goal and twofoul shots during the MIT spree.and the home five had its first tieof the game at 55-all.

The squads battled to eight suc-cessive ties at two-point intervalsuntil Clark's Pete McMillan hittwo free throws and a field goal togive the Cougars a 75-71 lead with4:51 left in regulation play.Although MIT stayed within twopoints down the stretch, the battleappeared to be lost when Clarksettled down to what it hopedwould be a game-ending stall withan 81-79 lead and just 1:34remaining.

But Cougar guard Bob Perronethrew a backcourt pass with 1:04left. and the Beavers had theirchance. MN IT worked the ball toforward John Cavolowsky '77.who floated in a short jumper

with 44 seconds left to tie thescore. Clark missed a shot withfive seconds left, and Nagem's 25-footer at the buzzer was way off,so the teams faced another fiveminutes' struggle.

MIT scored first in the extrasession on a Peter Maimonis '77jumper, but McMillan tapped inan offensive rebound to pullClark even at 83-all. John Doyle'77 and Cavolowsky hit to pushMIT up by four. but the Beaversfrittered away chance after chanceto lock up the contest and Clark'sRich Mahoney followed a 20-footjumper with two free throws todraw the Cougars even, with 1:43left. The teams traded turnovers,and MIT had the ball at midcourtwith 1:02 left.

One of the aspects of goodcoaching is knowing when to usethe trick play to greatest advan-tage. With Maimonis set to in-bound the ball. Beaver coachFran O'Brien sent Nagem on acurl pattern to the basket. In onemotion. Nagem receivedMaimonis' 45-foot loop pass andlaid it in for what proved to be thewinning basket with 59 seconds togo in overtime.

Clark missed a shot with 30 sec-onds left, and Cavolowsky.fouled in desperation. iced thegame with two free throws.

All five ,11MT starters scored indouble figures. as Cavolowskypoured in 20. Maimonis 18,Dovlex 16 and Rick Van Etten '78tallied 10 points. McMillanscored 24 points and pulled down13 rebounds to lead the Cougarsin both departments, whileCougar center Dan Coakley tal-lied 23 points.

Nagem's hot shooting night (12for 20) strangely lowered his fieldgoal percentage to 62.3 per cent,but that figure still ranks himamong the national leaders, alongwith Cavolowsky who stands at59.9 per cent.

By Gregg StaveThe M IT swim team lost a

close contest, 59-54, to a strongAmherst team Wednesday andsolidly defeated Trinity College,66-47. on Saturday.

In a meet that was not decideduntil the final event, the 400-vardfreestyle relay, a fired up MITsquad continually threatened toupset Amherst. Led by freshmanJohn Dieken and sophomorePreston Vorlicek. the Beaversfought hard but still came upshort. Having just set new marksin the 1000-vard and 500-yvardfreestyle races last week, Diekenmissed breaking another schoolrecord by just .04 second in the200-yard freestyle, winning thatrace in 1:50.94. He also took the500-yard freestyle, fighting offtwo Lord Jeffs just secondsbehind him.

Vorlicek also recored a doublewin, finishing first in the 200-yardindividual medley and the 200-yard breaststroke. Divers RickEhrlich and Bob Hone combinedagain to dominate bothspringboard events. After thethree-meter diving, the second to

The Beavers did not interrupttheir training program, swimmingagainst Trinity on Saturdaywithout rest. The much improvedTrinity team proved a tougher op-ponent than originally expected.but due to a good team effort theBeavers scored the points theyneeded end won the competitiondecisively. Vorlicek became theseason's first triple victor as hetouched first in the 200-yard in-dividual medley, 200-yard but-terfly, and the 200-yardbreaststroke.
