An estimated $120 million willgo into the category of studentsupport which mainly handlesundergraduate and graduate stu-dent financial aid programs. Un-

(Continued from page I)with project research teams. Re-lationships with faculty and stu-dents will increase the odds thatsponsors will find MIT studentsthey wish to recruit. Finally, thecenter will provide sponsors witha forum at MIT for discussion ofmajor issues facing the interna-tional financial services industry.
It was reported that some ofthe American companies werehesitant about sharing researchdiscoveries with foreign competi-tors, especially the Japanese. ButAnita Hurton, acting executive ofthe center, said that MIT wantsan international focus. "We liketo think of ourselves as an inter-national resource."
Interest in the new center is notlimited to graduate students andfaculty members. There is muchexcitement among undergraduatemanagement majors, who, ac-cording to one student, "are dy-ing to get involved in the new re-search center."
As far as the future of MITSchool of Management is con-cerned, Thurow says, "Studentswill vote with their feet." A man-agement graduate student whoattended Harvard as an under-graduate contends, "It's not Har-vard yet, but its getting there."
dergraduate scholarships andgraduate fellowships are includedin this category. The Undergradu-ate Research Opportunities Pro-gram is also supported in thissection.
One hundred million dollarswill go to endowed professor-ships with the bulk going to en-dowed chairs, the best meansavailable for attracting and keep-ing top faculty; the benefits ofendowed chairs include prestige,salary support, and a scholarlyallowance that permits holders tocover teaching or research ex-penses not readily met by other
means.Several building projects will
be supported by $65 million fromthe campaign. A proposed 85,000square foot building for the De-partment of Biology will be built- liberating space for the phys-ics department. Moreover, a newgraduate housing complex willalso be built to accomodate 700graduate students.
Forty million dollars of thecampaign is in the form of giftsfree of restriction. This moneycan provide support for purposeslike planning major research oreducational initiatives.

There were a number of reporting errors in The rech newsarticle on the MIT Corporation Visiting Committee session onminority affairs earlier this month ["Minority concerns dis-cussed," Nov. 8]. Several comments were mistakenly attributedto Office of Minority Education head Patricia Kauroma, whodid not speak at the meeting. Dean for Student Affairs ShirleyM. McBay actually made the remarks in the third, fourth, andseventh paragraphs of the story - and in the first sentence ofthe eighth paragraph. Associate Dean for Student Affairs JamesR. Tewhey made the comment in the last sentence of the eighthparagraph.
Also, a survey of departments - not Kauroma - suggestedthat the lack of minority graduate students was attributable to alack of minority students interested in graduate studies, and alack of fellowships. The first comment attributed to Director ofAdmissions Michael C. Behnke was actually made by McBay.Finally, some of the statistics on the makeup of the classes of1980 and 1988 included in the ninth paragraph were not ac-curate.

Party moves to hinder Baltic'protestThe Communist Party Central Committee has endorsed
changes in the Soviet constitution despite protests in sev-eral Baltic states. Critics say the changes would give theKremlin too much power. Earlier this month, the Esto-nian Legislature declared limited independence from Mos-cow. Estonian officials said they will stand by their action- despite a ruling the move is unconstitutional.
Arafat visa denial condemnedThe United States has received nearly universal disap-
proval for its decision to bar Palestine Liberation Organi-zation chairman Yasser Arafat entry into the UnitedStates. Only Israel has supported the visa denial, whicheffectively bars Arafat from addressing the UN GeneralAssembly session in New York. Arab nations are pushingto move the Palestinian debate to Geneva or Vienna.
OPEC seeks to raise pricesSaudi Arabia's oil minister says his fellow officials in
OPEC have approved sharp new cutbacks on production.It is an attempt to reduce supply in order to raise prices.Analysts say the agreement could add a dollar or two tothe price of a barrel. Each dollar rise in the price of abarrel can mean an increase of up to 2.5 cents in the priceof a gallon of gas.
Painter Dali seriously illSurrealist painter Salvador Dali is at a clinic in Barcelo-
na, Spain, suffering from what officials describe as aweakening heart condition and possible pneumonia. The84-year-old Dali is being examined by doctors in an inten-sive care unit.
Painting fetches $38.4 millionA new auction record has been set for a work of art.
An unspecified buyer yesterday purchased a painting byPablo Picasso for $38.4 million. The painting, called "Ac-robat and Young Harlequin," once had been confiscatedby the Nazis as an example of decadent art.

Antimatter research toutedThe Rand Corporation issued a study yesterday saying
the United States would be wise to invest $400 million tostudy antimatter. The report said antimatter could be har-nessed to propel spacecraft and make more precise medi-cal equipment. Antimatter particles are objects that re-lease great energies when they come into contact withordinary matter.
Classified launch on ThursdayNASA has started a secret clock ticking for the next
space shuttle launch, set for Thursday. The space shuttleAtlantis reportedly will deliver a $500 million spy satelliteinto orbit. Details of the launch are being kept classified.
Senate chooses leader todayTen newly elected senators gathered on Capitol Hill yes-
terday for an orientation session that one compared to"Cgoing to college as a freshman." The five Republicansand five Democrats were quickly immersed in behind-the-scenes Senate politics as they eyed sought-after committeeassignments and prime office locations.
The five Democrats had little time to get acclimated be-fore being plunged into party politics. The three Demo-crats vying to succeed Robert Byrd as majority leaderwere on hand to lobby the newcomers. Wisconsin Sena-tor-elect Herbert Kohl announced he is supporting MaineSenator George Mitchell in today's vote, but the otherfour would not say who they would vote for. The othercandidates are Daniel Inouye of Hawaii and BennettJohnson of Louisiana.
Court rejects husband'sbid to stop abortion
The US Supreme Court has underscored its refusal tolet a husband block his wife's constitutional right to anabortion. The Court rejected a Michigan man's bid tostop his then-estranged wife from terminating her preg-nancy. It is the second such ruling this month. The firstturned down an Indiana man's appeal.
The Court also left intact a North Dakota law on homeschooling. The law requires state certification of parentswho teach their children at home. 'Two couples challengedit, saying that God gave them responsibility to educatetheir children, and that sending them away to schoolwould violate their religious convictions. Tile Court didnot comment as it rejected the appeal.
Tornados kill 4Authorities have made a downward revision in the
death toll from powerful tornadoes that wreaked destruc-tion in North Carolina early this morning. Earlier it wasthought five had died, but authorities now say four werekilled. About 500 people are homeless. One insurance of-ficial said the damage could be as much as $65 million.
Banks raise prime rateExpect to pay more interest on home loans, car loans
and credit card purchases. Several major banks yesterdayboosted the prime rate by half a percent, to 10.5 percent.It is the highest lending level since May 1985 - and ana-lysts worry the Federal Reserve Board might force ratesup even higher to support the falling value of the dollar.
Relief for drought area predictedThe National Weather Service says several sections of
the country hard hit by drought will get extra rain andsnow this winter. The long-range forecast also calls formild temperatures in the South and cooler-than-normaltemperatures in the upper Midwest. A drier-than-normalwinter is predicted for southern California, eastwardthrough Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the southerncoastal states.
Couple faces unusual tax burdenIn Hopkinton, ERI, a couple has stopped paying taxes
on eleven acres of land because they do not know where itis. In fact, it appears the land - originally bought as aninvestment- doesn't exist, even though taxes have beenlevied on it since 1970. That isn't stopping town officialsfrom plans to sell the parcel for back taxes. As for thecouple, they want their tax money back.

Trade picture improvesThere was some good news about the nation's trade pic-
ture yesterday. The Commerce Department said the UStrade deficit declined 5.4 percent in the third quarter -the third consecutive decline and the best showing in morethan three years. But analysts said the pace of the improv-ing trade balance will probably slow in 1989.
One reason for the improvement in the trade picturewas due to farm exports. And yesterday the Soviet Unionagreed to buy at least nine million metric tons of Ameri-can grain through 1990. US and Soviet negotiators signedthe deal in Moscow. Farmer groups are generally pleasedwith the deal - but Rep. Dan Glickman (D-KS) criticizedthe pact, saying the Administration missed a chance to getbetter grain prices.
Fitzwater to keep postPresident-elect Bush asked Marlin Fitzwater to continue
as White House spokesman - a move Bush said repre-sented continuity in the best possible sense. It is the firsttime any incoming President has chosen as his spokesmanthe same person who did the job for his predecessor.
Bush, Dole try to make peaceThe incoming President of the United States made a
peace overture yesterday - with the Senate leader of hisown party. Bush had a private lunch with Senate MinorityLeader Bob Dole, who at times has feuded publicly withBush. But Dole is promising his full cooperation - say-ing the election is over and that he wants Bush to be a"great president."
Notre Dame strengthens leadNotre Dame has strengthened its grip on the number
one ranking in the latest Associated Press College Foot-ball Poll. That comes as no surprise after the fightingIrish handled USC handily Saturday. Notre Dame earned57 out of 60 first place votes. Miami moved up to secondplace while picking up one of the first place votes. Third-ranked West Virginia got the other two first place votes.
Florida State and USC finished up the top five. Nebras-ka checked in at number six, followed by Auburn,UCLA, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Michigan led off thesecond ten, with Oklahoma State, Clemson, Houston andWyoming. Rounding out the top 20 were LSU, Washing-ton State, Syracuse, Georgia, and Alabama.
Duke stays on topof basketball poll
Duke stayed at the top in this week's Associated PressCollege Basketball Poll. The Blue Devils picked up 47first place votes after chalking up their second easy win ofthe season. Michigan took over the number-two spot afterwinning the Maui Classic with a field that contained fourtop-20 teams. The Wolverines beat Oklahoma in the titlematch. Georgetown was third in this week's poll with Syr-acuse fourth and Oklahoma fifth. Then in order it wasIowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada-Las Vegas, and NorthCarolina.
Arizona led off the second ten, followed by GeorgiaTech, Louisville, Florida State, Ohio State, North Caroli-na State, and Temple. Rounding out the top 20 were Vil-lanova, Florida, and Tennessee.
A Cryptic Crossword bCryptic Crosswords: Each clue includes a definition in normal crossword 'style, and the answer itself, hidden in some devious way within a pun,anagram, or other obfuscation. For example: State within state is merelyaverage (4) is norm, which is OR within NM; Breaks becaush of drinks (7)is schnapps, and Later, women chopped wet fruit (10) is watermelon,which is an anagram of "later women." Often words like "chopped,""confused," or "reviewed" may indicate an anagram, just as "within,""reversed," or "beheaded" often mean the answer is there, almost in plainsight. Numbers may indicate Roman numerals, and there are many otheritems - foreign words, homophones, etc. - in the bag of tricks.Across1. Hit by Mack's truck (6)4. Infectious hundred in Cathy (6)7.

OnThanksgiv-ing Day thedescendants
[ i ~ c]i of the firstNative...... Americans
to meet the Pilgrims gathered atthe statue of Massasoit nearPlymouth Rock to solemnly pro-claim to the white world thatthey are still here and they havenot forgotten the 368 years ofgenocidal domination of theirpeople and the nonstop environ-mental devastation of their nativelands since the landing of the Pil-grims in 1620. The Wampanoags,like thousands of other NativeAmericans throughout the coun-try, regard Thanksgiving as a Na-tional Day of Mourning.
For more' than a decade theWampanoag spiritual and politi-cal leaders have commemoratedthe National Day of Morningwith a 24 hour fast, followed byan afternoon of speeches, pray-ers, songs and traditional dancesat Plymouth, and concludingwith a feast.
For Native Americans, thecoming of the Pilgrims was not ablessing, but a curse. As RussellPeters, author of The Wampan-oags of Mashpee, explained in aninterview with the Boston Globe:"It's my tribe that met the Pil-grims and we've been sorry eversince. They knew that when Eu-ropeans came, diseases and kill-ings followed. They spent sixmonths eyeing them before anEnglish speaking Indian came tocall." The--.Pims didn't getoffto a very good' start with the 1-.cals; upon their arrival they raid-ed the caches of seed corn theWampanoags had stored for thenext years planting. Thusly, thewhite man earned the prophetictitle: The Eaters of the SeedCorn, in other words, peoplewho destroy their future to satis-fy present desires.
The Wampanoags alreadyknew about the dangers of thewhite man because they had wit-nessed more than a century ofdisease and destruction wroughtby the Europeans since the com-ing of Columbus to America in
1492. In fact, the majority ofEastern coastal peoples werewiped out before the Pilgrimsever arrived. The Wampanoags,however, could never have imag-ined the extraordinary transfor-mation of the land they knew as"Turtle Island," nor the system-atic slaughter of its indigenouspeoples and their cultures in thecenturies to come.
European diseases proved soeffective in killing indigenouspeople that later the US govern-ment purposely infected manyWestern tribes with smallpox andother diseases to help "open theWest" to settlers; one of the earli-est known uses of biological war-fare in history.
Those Native Americans theUS government failed to kill withdisease they tried to starve todeath or into submission by sys-tematically destroying the PlainsIndians' primary food source,the buffalo; thus inventing a par-ticularly evil form of warfare thegovernment would revive a centu-ry later in Vietnam with the useof Agent Orange to destroy an-other indigenous peoples' foodsource.
The remainder of NativeAmericans were massacred bytroops or herded onto reserva-tions. where thousands more diedduring forced marches and in theadaptation to unfamiliar climatesand lifestyles. In the forced relo-cation of the Cherokee Nationalone. 4000 people died on "Trailof Tears," the long w"inter'smarch from their native Tennes-
;seeo-tOklahoma. Another 4000died' shortly -after in the desertsof Oklahoma, leaving the Chero-kees with less than half of theiroriginal population.
Thus, by the 1880s, some 260years after the Pilgrims' arrival,the hundreds of proud indige-nous nations of "Turtle Island"had been either exterminated,confined to perpetually shrinkingreservations, or lost in the massof America's 'melting pot." Withoperation genocide nearly accom-plished, the US govenment redi-rected its energies towards cultur-al genocide: forced assimilation.
The conquering European-
Americans, like most conquerorshistorically, believed self-righ-teously that their religions, phi-losophies, economic and politicalstructures, and social traditionswere superior to those of the con-quered. They saw no value in themoneyless, communal society ofthe Indian people. They ridiculedtheir belief that man was a merebrother of animals and plantsand a child of the earth, not itsmaster. They could not 'see anypurpose in a culture that couldlive for thousands of years onthis continent without dominat-ing and exploiting it.
Native American dances,songs, and religions were out-lawed. Communal ownership ofland was discouraged. indigenouschildren were taken from theirfamilies at the age of six and sentto "Indian schools," where the

ing system at MIT? Does residentselection during R/O week ac-complish these goals? Would afreshman dormitory satisfy theoverall goals of the housing sys-tem? What is the role of the pre-sent housing system in establish-ing living group, class, andschool unity? Finally, what arethe groups or individuals that thepresent housing system's goalsfail to satisfy?
the Tech- article portrays theStudent Housing Committee asbeing very directional and biased,while in- fact we are addressingthe issues of student housing witha very positive and non-partisanattitude, as evidenced by the
questions listed above, whichmade up the agenda of ourforum.
Major revisions of our housingsystem are seriously being consid-ered by the administration. TheInstitute will make changes to re-lieve "the stress that the changingdemographics at MIT have hadon the housing system" regard-less of whiether or not studentsmake their opinion_ known. Thisis our chance to make our opin-ions known - the Student Hous-ing Committee.
Stacy Segal '90Chairman,
Student Housing CommitteeBrian Lasher '89
To the Editor:We feel that The Tech article
"Forum addresses housing con-cerns" [Nov. I81 misrepresentsthe direction of the StudentHousing Committee. Therefore,we would like to clarify our in-tentions and bring to the atten-tion of the MIT community someof the other issues which wereaddressed at the housing forum.
The charge of the StudentHousing Cormmittee is to studythe MIT housing system, deter-mine whether or not problemsexist, and then evaluate theseproblems (if they do exist) fromthe average student's perspective.The committee will make appro-priate recommendations to theinstitute and to the InstituteHousing Committee, which ispresently studying Residence/Ori-entation Week and housing, witha special interest in freshmanhousing. The purpose of the Stu-dent Housing Committee is not,as the article suggests, to makesure that the Institute Committeedoes its job. Rather, we seek tocomplement their studies butwith more of an emphasis on thestudent's perspective.
The housing forum did not, asthe article states, start with a dis-cussion of freshman dormitoriesat MIT. We did, however, addressthe broader issues of the housingsystem at MIT. These include:What are the goals of the hous-
To the Editor:The other night, I was reading
Daniel J. Glenn's latest columnas I was lying in bed. I started tothink about his other recent col-umns and drifted off to sleep.That night I had the most incred-ible dream ...
The time is ten years in the fu-ture. The city of Boston has de-cided 'th-at ~I heity is in need ofyet another museum. With thisclouded mentality, the director ofthe project contracts Glenn, whohas finally left MIT.
Secretary: Mr. Director? Mr.Glenn is here to see you, sir.
Director: Fine, fine, send himin. Dan! Nice to see you. Have aseat. Now then, let's get rightdown to business. What we haveion mind for this museum is alarge, but not too imposing,brick building ...
Glenn: Um, did you say brick?I'm afraid we can't use bricks.
Director: Can't use bricks?Well, why not?
Glenn: Bricks are imported
from countries that have right-wing dictatorships or that exploittheir peasants. Usually both.
Director: Oh, I see. Yes, well,how -about stone?
Glenn: Oh, no. Stone is rightout, too.
Director: It would be, wouldn'tit. Could we u-se wood?
Glenn: Are you kidding? Doyou realize that the world is los-ing 300 acresof forest every day?We simply cannot be party tothat.
Director: No, of course not.Hmm. Uh, what do you suggest,Dan?
Glenn: Bamboo.Director: Bamboo!Glenn: Why, yes, bamboo!
Why, I have some wonderfulstudies here that I've done one theuse of bamboo in an urban set-ting. (Dan shuffles through hissatchel, which, of course, waswoven for him by a Nicaraguanpeasant girl who was, of course,a brave soldier in the fightagainst the drug-running, ma-
rauding bands of contras who arethe blight of that poor, strugglingnation. Eventually, he pulls out asheaf of paper.) Here, take alook.
Director: (Takes the papersand skims over them.) Thesearen't architectural studies. Theseare p[lit.call studies:
Glenn: Of course they are.Don't you realize that in today'ssociety, architecture holds the keyto the revitalization of social con-science? Why, architects are theleaders of social and politicalchange in any nation.
Director: I would have thoughtthat the politicians were.
Glenn: Oh, no! They're toolocked up in their petty two partysystem to realize what the peoplereally want.
Director: Which is?Glenn: Why, low income hous-
ing made of bambsoo, of course.(Pointing to his studies) Can'tyou see? Isn't it all clear? Whichreminds me. How many units of

w wsll~P~IIaerl mTo the Editor:I think it was George Pompi-
doux who said that there werethree ways to ruin: the first wasgambling, the second was sex,and the third was technologyGambling is the fastest, sex is themost fun, and technology is themost sure. George and I proba-bly would have made good drink-ing buddies, I thought to myself,as I walked down the hall to theonly working phone. The tele-phone system switchover that wassupposed to propel the Instituteinto the future seemed instead tohave given its communication ca-pability a swift kick in the groin.
A crowd had gathered aroundthe phone I was headed for and avoice, tingling with anticipationand excitement was saying, " ...I think I hear something .. . yes,it's ... OH MY GOD, IT IS!IT'S A DIAL TONE!" The look-ers-on cheered like survivors ofthe nuclear holocaust who'dfound uncontaminated water. Iwalked on.
I found a pay phone and dial-ing a number that had become alltoo familiar to me, I called mycustomer service representative.This task had actually been hand-ed down to me by the secretaryfor our department. She hadbeen a bright, capable, hardworking member of the commu-nity who was now under heavysedation after having made toomany of the phone calls I wasmaking now.
Someone from ConglomerateCommunications came on thephone and for some reason, mymind drifted to that characterthat Lilly Tomlin used to play,the operator who voiced the com-pany's motto: "We don't care, wedon't have to ... we're thephone company."
Like Sir Lancelot of the RoundTable standing before the drag-on's cave, I braced myself forbattle. I had tangled with thisdragon repeatedly and had re-turned more out of frustrationthan a sense that I would nowsucceed where better minds hadfailed before. Perhaps if I couldengage it with logic before itcould ensnare me in its dreadedbureaucracy. ..
But the beast took early con-trol of the fight, "What numberare you calling from?" she asked.
"That won't help you," I said,
GS' asks forrelief fromtax increaseTo the Editor:
The Graduate Student Councilmet on Nov. 18, 1988, and unani-mously passed the following reso-lution:
The Graduate Student Councilof MIT hereby resolves to urgeMIT, the MIT Corporation, MITadministration, and individualdepartments of MIT to take stepsto address the problems causedby the retroactive state taxes im-posed on research assistants andfellowship recipients by the Mas-sachusetts Legislature in 1988.This additional tax hit graduatestudents very hard and puts agreat strain on the financial re-sources of many. Thus, the GSCurges the individual departmentsto utilize the 10 percent varianceallowed on graduate stipends tohelp cover the tax -increase andcalls on the MIT Corporationand administration to take Insti-tute-wide action to grant stipendincreases and fellowship allow-ances to graduate students.
Scott Peng GGSC President
"there's nothing wrong with thisphone."
"Then why are you calling?"she nasaled to me.
Barely fifteen seconds into thefight and I was already down onpoints. I gave her my name anddepartment and began to outlinethe problem that had been out-lined so many times before.
"Two of our three phones wereinstalled in someone else's office,and the third can probably onlybe answered by Rod Serling," Itold her.
"Perhaps if you had read themanual as your friend Mr. Serl-ing has, you'd be able to answerit as well," she answered.
A small ache was beginning todevelop between my eyes. "I'msaying the phone was not deliv-ered, it's in the twilight zone, it'smissing."
"I'll check that on the comput-er," she huffed.
Now I felt more like Sir Loinof Beef. With an almost bovinestupidity I had fallen into hertrap. She had pulled her trumpcard and now all I could do waswait for her desktop diety to tellme I must be mistaken, there's norecord of an error.
"You must be mistaken, sir, Ishow no record of an error."
"Do you show any record ofprevious reports of error filed onbehalf of this department?'" Talk-ing like that will rot your teeth,but I thought I could put her atease if I spoke her language.
"Sir, if you have filed such anerror report with us, I'm sure it'swell on ifs way," she said.
"Well on it's way to what?" 1asked, somewhat sarcastically.
"Such a report would first behandled by our error reviewboard," she said, "from there, itgoes to the error auditor, fromthere to the shift supervisor'sdesk, and from there into thecomputer."
"Why into the computer?""To expedite things," she said."Look," I said, "I was perfect-
ly happy with the old system, theone that enabled me to speakwith other people, but if we hadto change, couldn't you have atleast waited until everyone waspart of the system before you
switched over?""I'm sorry sir, we had a
deadline."I was starting to feel like Win-
nie the Pooh. The more I lookedfor logic, the more I couldn'tfind it.
"I need my phones," I said,"when can I expect them."
"That's difficult to say," sheanswered.
"Nowhere near as difficult as itwill be to hear, I'm sure."
"Sir, Conglomerate Communi-cations cannot be bothered withevery phone problem in its sys-tem. We have other switchoversto plan."
The Pentagon could make useof a weapon like this, I thought.The destructive potential wasenormous. If "the system" couldbe sold to the Soviet Bloc, com-munism would soon wither onthe vine and die.
I had had enough. I thankedher, doing my best to keep thesarcasm out of my voice, andhung up the phone. I couldn'thelp pondering the parallels be-tween our new phone system andthe Emperor's new clothes.
As I returned to my office, Ipassed by the crowd at the onlyworking phone. Reaching mydoor I was approached by a manwith tools on his belt, a pencilbehind his ear and a clipboard inhis hand.
"I'm looking for one Mr. RodSerling," he said, "I have an or-der here says he's having troublewith his phone."

Not surprisingly under such ex-traordinary oppression, manytribal languages and traditionswere lost by the 1960s, when Na-tive Americans first began togain the civil rights most whiteAmericans take for granted. Af-ter years of struggle, protest andmany deaths and imprisonments,Native Americans won the rightto begin a cultural rebirth.Dances, songs, and traditionshad to be reconstructed from thememories of tribal elders or fromhistorical evidence. Not until1979, with the Freedom of Reli-gion Act, did Native Americansgain the right to practice theirown religions. As late as 1978, aNative American, Earl Mills, wasarrested for playing the sacreddrums of his tribe.

Director: Low income hous-ing? Mr. Glenrn, this is a muse-um. There aren't going to be anyresidential units of any kind.
Glenn: No residential units!Oh, I should have known fromthe moment I heard you wantedto use bricks. Are you a Republi-can or a Democrat?
Director: Mr. Glenn, this isMassachusetts! I'm a proudmember of the Democratic Party.
Glenn: Great. You're a mem-ber of the party that has gottenthe United States into every warit's fought in this century. Youprobably intended to pay me formy work, didn't you?
Director: Well, I had assumed,I mean ...
Glenn: Well forget it. I won'tbe a part of your evil, capitalisticways.
Director: If you don't get paid,then how do you survive?
Glenn: I live with a few friendsat a place we call Tent City Too.
Director: Tent City Too?Where is that?
Glenn: On the Harvard Bridge.But now the fascist cops are try-ing to move us off. Say we'reblocking traffic and we've got noright to be there. But that's pub-lic land meant for everyone's use!They just don't understand.
Director: Yes, I see . . Ithink. But how do you eat?
Glenn: Oh, we get governmentassistance.
Director: But isn't that accept-ing money from an evil source?
Glenn: No, no, no. See, thegovernment gets the money fromthe taxpayers, and the taxpayersget the money from the evil capi-talists. So you see, we're gettingthe money from the evil capital-ists without doing the work theywant us to do!
Director: But you're capable ofworking, aren't you?
Glenn: Yeah, so?Director: Then aren't you real-
ly getting money at the expenseof the hard-working and honestpeople who are working and pay-ing taxes?
Glenn: You obviously don'tunderstand -modern architectureand its political ramifications.
(Grabbing back his bamboo stud-ies) Good day!
Just then I woke up and thedreain was over. But it did makeme realize one thing: Daniel J.Glenn's column is aptly named.For if there is anyone with acrack in his dome, Glenn certain-ly is the one.

tive life on the planet, the Quakers decideto accept the restrictions, For six years thehuman beings and Hrossa live in harmony.Following the Quaker ship, however, was amuch larger colony vessel, the secondphase in a two-part settlement plan.
The Hrossa will allow the colonists inDown Plus Six to join the Quakers in thevalley; the colonists, however, refuse to ac-cept the planet's restrictions. Lacking theQuakers ' empathy with the Hrossa, theydecide to settle outside the valley eventhough this will destroy much of the plan-et's native life. As the Hrossa havewarned, the planet defends itself againstthe colony.
How Moffett resolves the conflict be-tween the Sixers, who will take what theywish, and the Hrossa and Quakers, whoare opposed to violence of any sort, makesan interesting and thoughtful story.
Moffett's book is the third Isaac AsimovPresents novel, a series designed to show-case new science fiction writers. The nov-els are selected by Isaac Asimov and Gard-ner Dozois, editor of Isaac Asimov'sScience Fiction Magazine, and include anintroduction by Isaac Asimov.

By Peter DunnShould this game be taken as a
good sign or a bad sign? One canonly wait and wonder. On theone hand, the MIT men's hockeyteam handily defeated Salve Regi-na by a score of 104 in last Tues-day's home opener, with stellarperformances by more than ahandful of Engineers. On theother hand, it took the Engineersthe better part of the first periodto get into gear.
The Engineers dug themselvesinto a 3-0 hole in the first periodon three Salve power-play goals.The penalty killing squad simplycould not control the low slotand allowed three easy goals, oneas Kyle Stone redirected a passacross the hMlT crease, and twoothers as Tim O'Brien and SteveJacques lifted easy wrist shotsfrom the low slot.
This lackluster MIT play per-vaded the first 18 minutes of thegame as they showed little oftheir usual aggressiveness. Andeven if the Engineers managedany sustained pressure, usuallypicking up the tempo and thehard checking, Salve would sim-ply ice the puck for a brief re-spite, also breaking any of MIT'smomentum.
Fortunately, with under twominutes to play in the first peri-od, the Engineers' scoring ma-chine finally got into high gear.With 1:45 remaining, good pass-ing during a power play resultedin a low blast from the left pointby rookie defenseman Gene Mc-Kenna '92, giving MIT it's firstgoal. With 0:26 remaining, Hen-ry Dotterer '91 cut the margin to3-2 on a pass from John Santoro
'89 driving up the right wing. Fi-nally, with just 4 seconds remain-ing in the period, MIT evened thescore as Santoro stuffed the puckpast the Salve goaltender at theleft post.
The scoring spree continuedunabated through the second andthird periods as the Engineers fi-nally found their groove. MITconsistently kept Salve off bal-ance with quick transition andsharp, heads-up passing in theneutral zone.
Most notable on the tally sheetwas the MIT front line of JeffBates '90 at center, Santoro atright wing, and newcomer MannyLomonaco G at left wing. Batestwice beat Salve netminder SeanKelley with accurate shots fromdeep in the slot (including thegame-winning goal) and assistedon four other goals. Just onenotch below, the ever-dependableSantoro continued to bully hisway past the defense up the rightwing boards, stuffing two drib-bling pucks at the crease and'as-sisting on another three goalswith passes from the right cornerto Bates and Dotterer.
With the graduation last yearof veterans Alec Jessiman andRick Russell, it looked as if theEngineers had lost both theirhardest hitting player and theirbest stickhandler. Hard up fordefensemen, Coach Joe Quinnmade a wise decision in movingspeedster Dotterer from lastyear's forward position to theback line for his defensive skills.Rounding out the defensivesquad are a trio of freshmen:Gene McKenna, Mike Quinlan,and Jason Krieser. Though short
on manpower, the defense showspromise if they can stay healthy,and will likely be the foundationon which Coach Quinn can buildover the years.
Though sluggish in the first pe-riod, this green defensive squaddisplayed some of that promiseduring the last two-thirds of thegame. The defense controlled theSalve blue line, bottling up theirtransition. Except for a momnen-tary lapse as Salve once morescored on the power play with anopen man in the slot, the defensehung tight, allowing fewer thanten shots on goal over the last 40minutes of play. Also, they aidedtheir own cause by adding to thescoring romp: Dotterer contribut-ed two goals with fancy stickhan-dling and assisted on two others.McKenna brought power to theleft point, adding two goals withhard, low blasts from the point,and assisting on a third.
Two other newcomers got inon the action: freshman JeffScharf stuffed the rebound off aMcKenna blast from the point,while grad student Brian Kimmelnotched the last goal of the gameas he stole the puck at the Salveblue line.
Not all the MIT forward linesdisplayed the talent of the Bates,Santoro, Lomonaco combina-tion, and it remains to be seen ifthey can add some scoring punchagainst tougher teams later in theseason. If not, then it remains tobe seen if the new defensivesquad can hold the fort in a closegame. Coach Quinn has manyth Lg., to worry about in te coill.ing months: whether he'll have to

That's plenty to worry about.We'll just have to wait and seehow things develop over the sea-son. With the strong victory over-Salve Regina, at least the MITmen's hockey team is off to awinning start.
depend on his first line for-all hisscoring, whether he'll haveenough healthy defensemen atany point in time, and whether itwill always take his team 20 min-utes before they really startplaying.
