The 14 demonstrators remain-ing sat in front of the visitors'entrance to the lab and continuedchanting slogans. A police officerexplained that they would be ar-rested if they did not leave andthen asked them to leave. Follow-ing this, one demostrator read averse from the Habakkuk andthen another demostrator,Patricia Garrity Of Cambridge,spilled jars of human blood on thelab entrance, herself, and otherdemonstrators before being stop-ped by policemen. The groupchanted, "We are only making

At the court, all 14demonstrators were charged withmisdemeanor trespassing andgiven "six months continuedwithout finding" Their guilt wasnot decided and the case will bedropped in six months if theyobey the law.

Spring Weekend dampened by dispute

olice

begin

By Tim KnealeMIT's Spring Weekend has

culminated in a controversy overselection of a winning livinggroup in Spring Olympiad ac-tivities. The result of the overvallmen's championship has not yetbeen announced by the MIITSocial Council's Olympic Com-mittee, the group in charge ofSpring Olympiad rules.

Jim Wilber '81, a member ofthe Olympic Committee, said,"The delay in announcing anytype of overall results of-the com-petitions is a result of an am-biguitiy in the contest rules con-cerning scoring procedures whichdifferent teams have chosen to in-terpret to their own best advan-tage. We, the committee, are in theprocess of working out a com-promise-solution which will in noway contradict our previously-announced results, nor slight anyparticular team."

Wilber continued, "We regretthe aforementioned ambiguity,t and hope that all parties involvedwill receive our final decision inthe spirit that the Olympics is in-tended, that of spirited butamicable competition for the be-nefit of the Muscular DystrophyAssociation."

Apparently, the points scoredby Burton House's combinedentries comprised the largestsingle living group total. SigmaPhi Epsilon had the second-highest total. There are, however,questions about interpretation ofthe rules governing eligibility bythe Olympic Committee. It is notclear whether dormitory entrieswere intended to be considered as

coming from a specific floor or aspart of the entire house's entry.

The rules also allowed morethan one entry from a livinggroup in any event, but statedthat only one of those entriescould score in an event.

Burton House President JoyceKelley said, "They're making adecision after the fact."

Outgoing Undergraduate As-sociation Social CouncilChairman Chris Johannessen '82called the weekend "a big suc-cess." Johannessen said thatalthough the poor weatlier cutdown on the number of spectators

at some of the outdoor events,having a rain plan worked out inadvance allowed the people in at-tendance to enjoy themselvesdespite the rain.

The activities began last Thurs-day evening with a Freshman-Sophomore Ice Cream Orgy inthe Student Center MezzanineLounge and a Junior-SeniorDrinkoff, won by the Juniors,which took place at several MITliving groups. Both events werevery well attended, with eachdrawing an estimated 400 to 500participants.

On Friday and Saturday, the

MIT Community Players put ontwo performances of "Reunion"in the Mezzanine Lounge. Fridayafternoon, the Student CenterCommittee and the DormitoryCouncil held a special FridayAfternoon Club with a band un-derneath the steps of the StudentCenter. Inclement weather forcedthe band to leave early.Meanwhile, the organizers ofTANK, the team speed beerdrinking contest, and of Delta

By Jack LinkArtificial skin developed and

produced at MIT has been ap-plied to ten burn patients at theMassachusetts General Hospitaland the Shriners Burns Institute,three of whom doctors say wouldnot have survived without thenew product.

"The skin was designed to bepicked off the shelf and used inminutes," noted Professor ofMechanical Engineering loannisYannas, head of the MITresearch group that developed theskin.

"Any kind of delay increasesthe mortality rate of burn victimsdue to the increased danger of in-fection," said Yannas. "At theMassachusetts General Hospitalburn unit, headed by Dr. John F.Burke, this artificial skin has sup-planted the cadaver skin and pigsklin used previously for severeburn victims."

Four factors are of immediateconcern in treating burn victimswith skin grafts. Bodily fluidsmust be retained, formation ofscar tissue avoided, onset of infec-tion prevented, and the graft ac-cepted by the body. The last twofactors ususally work against eachother when skin from other thanthe patient's own body is used.

Cadaver skin and pig skin arerecognized as foreign by thebody's auto-immune system,which guards against infectionand will destroy the skin grafts

unless immunosuppressive drugsare administered. The suppres-sion of the immune system leavesthe patient susceptible to othertypes of infection.

The recently-developed ar-tificial skin is not rejected,eliminating the need for im-munosuppressive drugs and al-lowing the body to retain itsability to Fight infection.

"Three of the patients, in-cluding a three-year-old girl, werealready suffering from infectionwhen they were brought in, so theuse of cadaver skins would havebeen hopeless. The little girl wasburned over 96 percent of herbody," said Yannas of thepatients who received what hecalls Stage I artificial skin.

The Stage I skin consists of twolayers which, when moist, looksand feels much like real skin. Thebottom, inner, polymorphic layer,is processed from cattle and sharkcartilage. This is temporarilycovered by the second layer, atransparent silicone membrane.

The inner layer provides a baseupon which the patient's own skinmay grow. It degrades within 50days of the transplant.

Some of the patients have alsoreceived Stage 2 treatments. InStage 2, surgeons replaced theouter plastic layer with skin fromthe patient's own body, in aprocedure known as an autograft.

By Stuart GitlowJoe O'Keefe, owner of Joe's

Pizza, was advised recently by theMassachusetts State Income TaxBureau that he owes $5,543.54 inback meal taxes. "I haven't gotthe money," O'Keefe commented.

O'Keefe has sold pizza on theMIT campus for 21 years. Whenmeal taxes were first instituted, hecollected them, paid them, andsubmitted proper tax returns.

Meal tax exemptions foreducational institutions began inJuly 1978. By law, these exemp-tions applied not only to mealssupplied by the educational in-stitution but also to those mealsSupplied by a food service undercontract to the institution.

Robert A. Sherwood, AssociateDean for Student Affairs, said`[Mr. O'Keefe] believed the lawapplied to him since he was serv-

ing students. He is not anemployee of MIT or a foodprocurer for MIT so MIT is notliable in any way."

O'Keefe said, "I sell pizza andsoda on the MIT campus to MITstudents with special permissionfrom MIT. I renew this permis-sion by letter each year from theDean of Student Affairs."O'Keefe added that he believedthe meal tax exemption applied toJoe's Pizza.

When the exemptions were in-stituted, O'Keefe stopped col-lecting meal taxes. "Once eachmonth, I've sent a tax return tothe state with zero taxes collectedand zero taxes sent to the state,"O'Keefe commented.

After two and one-half years,Massachusetts has advisedO'Keefe that the regulations donot apply to his customers unless

he is under a formal contract withMIT, not simply covered by aninformal letter granting him per-mission to serve meals on privateproperty.

The back taxes, which includeapproximately $1000 in penalties,are due on May 31. Joe said, "Ihave four children, one in college,one getting married, and I haven'tgot the money saved."

Sherwood remarked, "I talkedto [O'Keefe's] lawyer and accoun-tant concerning sending a letter tothe state auditor. They said that aletter wouldn't really help. Even if[O'Keefe] didn't understand theregulations, it's still his -respon-sibility to pay." Sherwood addedthat O'Keefe's accountant hadrealized that there was no connec-tion between O'Keefe and MIT.

said of the incident, "I thought itwas a success." He felt that the in-cident was only "part of a con-tinuing struggle," noting that hewas arrested before and statingthat he will be again.

In reaction to the lab's state-ment, Doherty said, "I believe thisgovernment does not representthe. people." He felt that much ofthe power that should be in thehands of common people is heldby "wealthy corporation owners,boards of trustees, legislators, in-tellectuals, and journalists."

Richard Morrison, a student atthe University of Massachusetts,was also- one of the 14demonstrators. Hle, too, felt thatthe protest was successful becuaseit makes people listen -to his com-plaints. He felt that "'the rapportthe demonstrators had withpolice" was evidence that peoplelistened. According to Morrison,early yesterday morningCambridge police officers visitedthe home of several of thedemonstrators, warning themthat the lab requested policeprotection and requesting infor-matio-n about the dernostration.

Morrison said that the officers.said they thought it was a goodcause, but that as policemen theyhave a job to do. Morrison ex-plained that it is "people whokeep doing jobs without takingresponsibility for their actions

On April 17, the lab of-fered to give the group a presenta-tion on its non-defense projects.The group announced plans forthe rally and act of "peaceful civildisobedience" that was heldyesterday oh April 21.

Yesterday morning the groupsent the lab's president, Robert A.Duffy, a letter encouraging thecompany to continue com-municating with the group. Theywarned Duffy of the planned act,stating that "We commit this dis-

obedience from our hearts, fromour, deep belief that we are allresponsible for realizing the vi-sion of peace."

Following the incident, theDraper management issued astatement in which they statedthat the lab "declines to debate ornegotiate on the matter of thework it performs for the Depart-ment of Defense or other agenciesof the US government." Thestatement pointed out that thefederal programs the lab worksunder "are a product of thedemocratic process" and are well-publicized. As a non-profitorganization, the lab cannot takepart in political activities. Themanagement remarked, "Withpride in our past accomplish-ments, we look forward to con-tinuing to serve the best interestsof the nation."

William Doherty, an MITfreshman, was one of the 14 ar-rested. After being released, he

that have made yesterday'sdemonstration necessary."

John Lindsay, a student onleave from Harvard University,was also among those arrested.He called the incident "a drop inthe bucket, a beginning." He andMorrison together felt that thelab's statement just "passed thebuck" to the government.Lindsay remarked, "It's amazingto me how people can talk abouthow other people are responsiblefor what they are doing."

Lindsay and Doherty wereamong those on whom the bloodwas spilled. The use of human

blood during the demonstrationwas to make the cause more visi-ble, according to Lindsay. He saidhe felt it was as if to say, "this iswhat it means to build things onlyused to kill people in-discriminately."

The Draper Peace ConversionGroup is planning several moreactivities for the following year.They hope to culminate thesewith a similar demonstration nextyear in which they expect to haveone thousand rally participantsand one hundred people arrested,according to rally participantChris Worthington.

Using artifical skin as appearing skin."a base necessitates the removal ofonly the top layer, including pig-ment cells. "This is anotherbreakthrough," said Yannas."We hope to avoid the formationof scar tissue altogether."

It has also been discovered thatexposure to the artificial skin doesnot induce the clotting of bloodplatlets. A research group at BethIsrael Hospital is investigating theuse of the inner layer substance tomake artificial veins and arteries.

Another MIT group workingwith the Shriners Burns Instituteat Beth Israel is headed by Profes-sor of Biology Eugene Bell. Bell'sgroup has been conducting testson animals of its living skinequivalent, which is grown fromthe victim's own skin cells. Bellwill begin to test the skin "verysoon" on humans.

"We are growing non-artificialskin consisting of living com-ponents,"said Bell. "We hope tobe able to produce enough skinwithin ;1 nionth of an injury tocover wounds. Still, a temporarycovering will be necessary whilethe living skin equivalent isgrowing,'said Bell. Bell was refer-ring to Yannas' Stage I skin, andwas unlaware of the Stage 2developments.

Editorial

Harassment: timeto defirse the bomab

Passage of a revised motion by the General Assembly con-cerning protection of rights of members of the MIT communityreflects laudable recognition of a serious situation, but is only abeginning toward resolving a deeply emotional problem.

Tense student relations, whether based on feelings of racial,sexual, or other forms of prejudice, are a problem at MIT, andmay well develop into a crisis. Actions which infringe upon therights of others.are morally objectionable, and, on a more per-sonal level, harm individuals both physically and emotionally.In addition, the Institute's affirmation of equal opportunity andencouragement of increased diversity are contradicted by overtdiscriniination .

What should M IT students and adminstrators do? It is just asunrealistic to assume that education alone will solve theseproblems as it is to expect students not to segregate themselvesvoluntarily in student activities and living groups. An unfor-tunate consequence of increased student diversity can be in-creased polarization which would, in effect, exacerbate theburgeoning crisis.

Racial tensions have exploded at many other campuses, andM IT would do well to heed the warning of these incidents. At-tention must be focused on the harassment time bomb while itsfuse has just been lit, so that an atmosphere can be created inwhich no explosion can occur.

Pseudob-s encein the Senate

A group of conservative congressmen have concocted a cleverway to circumvent a controversial Supreme Court decision -legislate a "scientific" solution to a moral problem.

Legislation introduced by two conservative senators wouldmake abortion, and possibly certain types of birth control, il-legfal by declaring that "present-day scientific evidence indicatessignificant likelihood that actual human life exists from concep-tion.' The explicit purpose of the legislation is to "vitiate" and.'negate" a 1973 Supreme Court ruling granting women a con-stitutional right to abortion.

Even conservatives have expressed concern about the con-stitutionality of the measure, which is designed to insure theright of due process to fetuses. A letter by eleven constitutionalscholars called the bill "an attempt to exercise unconstitionalpower," and even arch-conservative Senator Orrin Hatch (Rep.-Utah) questioned Congress' authority to define the beginning of

An equally interesting and important question concerns thelegitinlacy of resolving questions of scientific uncertainty bylegislation. Many important questions could also be answered,or at least circumnavigated, by Congressional definition: whendeath occurs, whether there is a safety threshold for action ofcarcinogenic substances, or what the probability is of a majoraiccident at a nuclear power plant. It is a convenient way tocreate simple solutions to unanswerable questions.

Legislative definition, while expedient, is an inaccurate anddalngerous way to deal with scientific questions. It is especiallyopjectionatble when the intent is to support a moral positionwith a pseudo-scientif-c bulwark.

The proposed legislation is thus doubly dangerous, setting aprecedent for circumvention of both Constitutional safeguardsatnd continuing scientific investigation. It is important for thefederal governrnent to learn to deal with scientific uncertainty,but it .ppears that Congress is heading toward the wrong solu-tion for a. conlplex problem.

If one thing is clear, itrating in the is that the age of electronic editingId BUY a 400 and text processing is here. In an-he amount of institute such as ours where therepend" in two is more computing power thanthe Institute any other in the world, the in-

ter resources, availability of what is supposed toxt processing be the 'tute's "computer center"thought of in is particularly embarassing. We, we think of are supposed to be setting a prece-n't have to go dent for the home/of-iding Board" fice/academic environments of

SIPB for sure cannot be blamedfor this. They are a devoted groupof (perhaps a bit eccentric)hackers who freely volunteer helpto any student in need. It is thebackwards concept of cycles fordollars that is responsible for thefiasco. The free way in whichSIPB has been doling out dollarsis proof that MULTIC's studentload is determined by need andnot by the ability to pay.

The time for unlimited studenttext processing accounts onMULTICS is now. The IPC cankeep track of the time spent forjustifying new equipmentpurchases out of institute funds,but to impose arbitrary limits onthe number of instructions a stu-dent may execute on theHoneywell is equivalent to tellinghim to establish his own library.Text processing finds applicationin every course at MIT andshould be paid for out of severalfunds. If MULTICS slows downas a consequence, invest in moreequipment, or better yet, betterequipment. In the mean time, let'sallocate another IOOK for SIPBon IPC's accounting system. Noone will ever notice the difference.

Who are some of these people?Well, on the geology wall are thenames Harvey, Lyell and Lin-naeus, among others. WilliamHarvey discovered the circulationof blood in humans, Sir CharlesLyell wrote the first standardgeology textbook, The Principlesof Geology, and Zenobe-Theophile Linnaeus was thefounder of the genera-speciesnaming convention (biology wasconsidered a field of earthsciences). Among other names areWilliam Froude, who developedthe concept of using models todetermine the behavior of ships(this technique is still in use to-day), Christian Huygens, thefounder of the wave theory oflight, and Sir William Herschel,the founder of siderealastronomy, and the man whocatalogued a large number ofbinary stars. A few others areFriedrich Wohler, the first personto create a synthetic organic com-pound (urea), Charles Bulfinch(mentioned earlier), the designerof the Boston State House and thefirst professional US architect,and last but not least, SirHumphry Davy, the creator ofthe miner's lamp and the firstperson to formally state the scien-tific method.

person can do in Killian Court.People play ultimate frisbee there,the Institute holds graduationsand inaugurations there, somepeople study there, and I go thereto read the walls. Read the walls?Sure. There is a lot of historyimbedded in the stone of KillianCourt. On each of the four cornersections of the main Institutebuildings that face the court, thereare names inscribed. I'm sureeveryone has noticed and

recognizes the large names thatgrace the building: Franklin,Pasteur and Copernicus are threeof the names that come to mind.But there are also many names insmaller print. Some of these areprobably familiar, includingFaraday, La Place, and Kepler,but who could recognize thenames Anthenius, Brunelleschi,or Bulfinch if they were notfamiliar with many of the famousarchitects of history? Why didthese particular men deserve tohave their names etched into thebuildings of one of the great un-iversities of the world?

There is a very simple way ofgetting a faint idea of who a par-ticular person is by looking at thenames that go with him. Eachface of the building represents adifferent field of science. Thenorth-west corner's southern faceis. dedicated to men who con-tributed to the civil engineeringprofession. The same corner's

eastern face is dedicated to men ofelectricity, and so on. In all, thefields of architecture, physics,geology, thermodynamics,chemistry, and astronomy arerepresented. I should warn youthat this generality about the fieldof study is only true for the small

Ups ifon's Steak Fry were also

hampered by the rains. Both ac-

tivities were'relocated from their

originally scheduled outdoor sites

to the Sala de Puerto Rico, inside

the Student Center. At the other

end of the Sala, the steak fry was,

in DU brother Brian Nesmith's

'84 words, "a little bit

overcrowded." In fact, the all-

you-could-eat event was sold out.

The Harambee dancers from Wel-

evening in Kresge Auditorium.

won't do much good. I don't wantto go to court. I would put too

After learning of the - taxes,

O'Keefe went to "a number of

people at MIT. They were very

helpful," he added, "but the state

wouldn't accept their requests

that the tax be cancelled. MIT

stood by me as much as they

could."

O'Keefe emphasized, "I've

been here for 21 years with no

d problems. Students are satisfied

with my product. I've been

satisflied serving MIT. A lot of

guys are helping me out."

When asked if MIT would as-

The BSU also held a party at

Burton House Saturday night.

Austin said that the party "didn't

go so well," noting that there was

a conflict between the BSU party

and a Caribbean festival at Har-

vard.

The Jog-a-thon held Sunday

morning by the MIT Community

Service Fund happened as

scheduled, with the runners com-

pleting a four mile course. At

noon, the SCC held its Spring Pic-

nic on Kresge Oval. During the

picnic, marked by excellent

weather, the awards for the Spr-

ing Olympiad were presented,

with the exception of aforemen-

tioned the men's overall cham-

pionship trophy; McCormick was

awarded the women's cham-

pionship title.

Austin '82, co-chairman of the

Black Students' Union (BSU).

The last event of the day was a

concert by Midnight Traveler and

'the Jon Pousette-Dart Band in the

new Special Events Center. The

concert was sponsored by Delta

Tau Delta, Delta Kappa Epsilon,

and the MIT Social Council.

Johannesen-said that the Social

Council will probably lose

"several hundred dollars" on the

concert. The Social Council was

aware that the financial outlook

for the concert was not good

when it made the decision tosponsor the event, however, and

was prepared to take a loss. Delt

Brian Jacobs '83, who was in

charge of his house's preparations

for the concert, said that ticket

sales "were a little on the short

side." - He continued that "the

crowd liked the concert -we're

glad we did it."

The Activities Midway

scheduled for Saturday afternoon

was affected by the adverse

weather conditions. According to

Angie Liao '82, organizer of the

midway, only seven of the ap-

proximately twenty groups

scheduled to participate appeared

at the Student Center. She.

speculated that the poor weather

conditions might have dis-

couraged groups from attending.

The Fiji Island Party, spon-

sored by Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji)

last Saturday night, was very well

attended. Party Co-chairman

David Maclsaac '81 was very

enthusiastic about the outcome of

the party. "The crowd really got

into it," he said, adding that the

success of the party was "beyond

all expectations." No problems

were reported with transporting

The League of Gentlemen, Robert Frippon Polydor Records.

God came to New York last summer,and I had a ticket to see him. Yes, RobertFripp and his "contractual arrangement"band, the League of Gentlemen, wowed thecrowd for four nights with a new brand ofdance music that had you either on yourfeet or on your knees. The League (BarryAndrews (ex-XTC), keyboards; Sara Lee,bass; and Johnny Toobad, drums) torethrough tunes titled "Youth at Piano,""Ooh, Mr. Fripp" and "Thrang PerboralGozinblux" (and the Phoenix had the gallto call Firipp, humorless). Fripp's under-,stated guitar playing was the highlight ofthe evening, and stands out as my clearestmemory of the concert (I can still humsomneof the tunes that I heard).

Acting out of his obsessioon to see an actthrough to completion, Fripp has releasedan album under his name featuring themusic of -the League of Gentlemen. Itdoesn't contain all of the tunes performedon the tour, and includes some newmaterial, but this record stands out asFripp's most accessible work to date. Thearrangements are straightforward -SaraLee's muscular bass sound recalls that ofJohn Wetton (one of Fripp's King Crimsonassociates), the drumming is fast and clip-ped, and Andrews' emzbellishments onorgan add background texture. Layeredover the deceptively simple arrangements isFripp's virtuoso playing. He whips offclean, convoluted lines wvith ease- not justspeed doodling, but discernible melodies.

Some of these melodies are unforgettable- one listen to "Heptaparaparshinokh,"and you'll be humming it for weeks. Othertunes are variations on "InductiveResonance" -the best cut on the record,and a tremendous dance tune. "CognitiveDissonance," with its ringing dissonant

chords and contrapuntal ascen-ding/descending lines, is another tunethat's hard to shake.

Two other types of music are found onthis disc. The three "Indiscreet" pieces arecollages of "indiscretions" taped by Frippand reassembled to form bizarre conversa-tions. The remaining pieces are keyboardexperiments with the Frippertronics system(use of tape loops to record delayed over-dubs). The tunes ("Pareto Optimum I& II"and "Ochre") recall Fripp's earlier "WaterM usic" pieces with their slowly layeredcascades of sound. They're quite pretty,but too short- perhaps they should havebeen condensed into one long piece.

Fripp experiments with "found" vocals(use of random recorded voices), but isonly moderately successful. "Vocalist"J.G. Bennett (a mystic that Fripp studied)provides an interesting counterpoint to themusic with his odd phrasing, but one easilytires of an ad infiniium repetition of hisplatitudes- the "found" vocals should beleft to the more competent Byrne& Eno. Areal vocalist (Danielle Dax of the LemonKittens) is featured on "Minor Man," andthe presence of her harsh, cutting voicerescues an otherwise uninspired tune. I'lltake Dax over Bennett any day.

Flaws aside, The League of Gentlemen isa successful experiment with dance-oriented -music ("dorotronics" in Fripp-ese), maintaining Fripp's usual high stan-dards.

Special groupie supplement: Fripp's finalalbum, Let the Power Fall (a Frippertrovicssoundtrack}, has already been released, com-pleting his ''contractual arrangements" andthe "Drive to 1981.'' What he plans to doafter this is a complete mystery, so thesediscs could well represent his "last works."Buy 'em for your kids, they're history.

McElwee gives us a portrait of a womanwho can barely be contained within herample physic-al frame, or the artificialphysical frame of the filmn. Charleen's beingspills over into her envionment. When sheis around, sounds and colors are morevivd, and flowers seem to bloom as anatural extension of her personality. Thecolor in this film is especially striking,almost tangible in character. There is a par-ticularly beautiful scene in which Charleenvisits her mother's garden party, an imageof lusciously colored, sun-dappled bou-quets of women.

Charleen is a beautiful and fertile filmnthat I found well worth the trip to CentralSquare's own theater, Off the Wall. It playswith Resident Exile, the bitterly ironic storyof an Iranian student living in America.Both end this evening.

itwe don't need to be told twice to listenrenraptured.

Charleen is a teacher in the NorthiCarolina Poetry-in-the-Schools program, a

poet, a publisher of a literary journal, and avital woman whose presence seems to filthe movie frame to the bursting point.McElwee needs only to provide a stage forher, and Charleen, a natural performner,entertains us. Charleen tells her students to"feel it and holler." She does the same forus, and carries us through a month withher, in which she, together with her friends

iand students, prepares for and presents apoetry concert, examines her life and the

By Eric BrandtMIT baseball has been having a

slightly rough season this year (3-8), but having won two in a row,things appear to be on the upsw-ing. MIT played catch-up ballwith Suffolk through almost all oflast Wednesday's game, butwound up on top with the score14-10.

This high scoring game resultedin three pitching changes by eachteam. MIT started with their acereliever Bruce Diaz '84. Diaz'sERA before this outing was 0.8,but he was hit for eight runs, fiveunearned.

After a shaky start in the firsttwo innings, Diaz settled downthrough the next two, but had tobe removed in the fifth. FreshmanEric Banks, who relieved Diaz,pitched very well. Banks, whoseems to hurl a very heavy fastball, was superb in giving up noearned runs through the nextthree innings. In the eighth, se-cond baseman Al Fordiani '82was moved over to pitch where heallowed one run and finished thegame with the win.

There were several players onthe MIT team with very hot bats.

Carl Nowiszewski '81 hit a boom-ing 475 foot drive over the leftfield fence in the fourth inning.Nowiszewski was three for threefor the day, getting on base everytime at bat, scoring three timesand having a game high of fourRBI's.

Another star was number ninehitter Ed Wilcox '82 (catcher),who was three for five in thegame, with one safety each in thesixth, seventh, and eighth inningsto drive in three runs and put ic-ing on the cake.

Rightfielder John English '83can'be credited with the winningRBI on a single in the eighth in-ning.

All in all, the Engineers had apowerful game at the plate, scor-ing in every inning but the first.

By Eric R. FlemingThe women's Water Polo Club

finished second in its tourney atAlumni Pool last Friday andSaturday. Competing in the tour-

nament were club squads fromUNH, Queens College of NewYork, and Wellesley, as well asMIT.

The action began Friday after-

noon as Tech handily disposed ofQueens by a score of 9-0. KarenFortoul '82 paced the attack withthree goals, while Laura Goochadded a pair. The game plan herewas defense, as Queens, totallystifled by MIT, could manageonly two shots on goalthroughout the contest. The nextgame against Wellesley was amuch tougher match for the MITwomen. Wellesley had the advan-tage of coming in rested, as Techhad played jest earlier. MITfound itself on the short end of a3-2 count at the end of twoquarters, and 5-2 midway throughthe third stanza. The tight defensein front of the enemy goal, andthe ability to turn a pair ofbreakaway opportunities intoscores put Wellesley ahead.

It was here that MIT made itsmove. Tina Kangas G clickedwith help from Fortoul at 3:26 ofthe third (water polo periods arefive-minutes long) while Liz Con-nors G fired in a shot from 18 feetto cut the gap to one by the end ofthe quarter. Four fourth-periodtallies put the game away forMIT.

The Tech string was rudelysnapped Saturday, however, by atough UNH team who had edgedMIT, 7-6, in a double-overtimebattle earlier in the year. Thistime, UNH blasted the Engineers,10-1. UNH eventually won thetourney, winning all three of itsgames. Tech won two, while Wel-lesley beat Queens to take third.

The tournament generally wentwell, with the only real problemarising when Fordham, the fifthteam to play, contacted MIT andstated it could not make the ac-tion because of transportationproblems.

Looking at the team, whoserecord now stands at 5-3 for 1981,Fortoul said, "All the playershave improved since the beginn-ing of the year." The team is ayoung one, as half of its membershad not played until this year.Two welcome additions to theteam have been Mike Colucci '82and Peter Kalish' 83, who havevolunteered to coach the club.Colucci is an ex-member of themen's varsity water polo squad,while Kalish currently plays forthe Engineers.

By Nicholas RoweM IT continues to be one of the

best pistol teams in the countryfollowing a very successfulseason. Its three losses out ofeight overall matches were only tothe service academies (Army,Navy and Air Force): indeed, theEngineers' only disadvantage isthat they have less practice timethan the academies do.

MIT's performance in theIntercollegiate Sectionals permit-ted all three divisions (standard,air, and free) to go to theNational Intercollegiate PistolChampionships held here lastmonth. As expected, the Techshooters finished behind the ser-vice academies in all divisions,save a su prising third place finishin Standard Pistol ahead of AirForce. Notable individualachievements came from EdSeidman '8l, who took third

place in the air pistol division,and Duncan Hughes '83, whoreceived Honorable Mention All-America honors. Hughes, whoalso set a National Junior FreePistol record this season, alongwith Seidman, and JohnBlascovich '82 have been invitedto the Open National Cham-

pionships in Phoenix, Arizona,based on their commendable per-formances this season.

Next year should prove to beno exception for the pistol team.Talented new prospects from thesophomore and freshman ranksshould only serve to improve theteam.
