Spense said that-thecurrent approach to helpingunderdeveloped countriesemphasizes administrative andengineering problems and isnot sufficient.

MIT, Harvard, and the City ofCambridge have verballyagreed to extend the 3-month-old moratorium on recomnbi-nant DNA research beyond itsoriginal expiration date of Oct.7, Daniel J. Hayes, chairmanof the Cambridge LaboratoryExperimentation ReviewBoard told The Tech. Themoratorium must still be for-mally extended by theCambridge City Council, butHayes expects that there willbe "no problem" in gettingCouncil approval.

By Mark JamesThe public must be allowed to

have a greater voice in decision-making on scientific research, saidspeakers at a teach-in on geneimplantation held Wednesday.

AJthough the meeting wasspecifically addressed to recombi-nant DNA research, many of thepanel members spoke moregenerally about the hazards ofscientific research which is con-ducted without public discussionand approval.

The teach-in was co-sponsoredby the Social Action CoordinatinrgCommittee (SACC) and Sciencefor the People; an organizationthat has supported the Cambridgemoratorium on the more hazar-dous types of recombinant DNAresearch.

Robert Park, a member ofScience for the People who spokeon the politics of this DNAresearch, said, "We believe thatordinary working people canmake skillful s c i e n t i fi cjudgments."

He said that people should lookat the "past record of promises ofnew technology" to see if claimsof benefits and safety byresearchers could be relied upon.

Gene implantation, or recombi-nant DNA research, involves theinsertion of segments of DNAfrom any organlism, includingman, -into another cell, usually E.Coli. The DNA can then becomeincorporated into the genetic

,material of the host, resulting inan organism with possible dif-ferent properties than anynaturally occurring cell.

Recombinant DNA research ispart of a "rapid proliferation ofresearch without public control"according to-Philip Youderian G.who spoke on the technical issuesinvolved in recombinant work. Hecited the hazards of inserting newgenes in the bacterium E. Coli,saying that a "novel organism"would be created which mightpose unknown hazards.

Besides normally inhabiting thehuman intestine, E. Coli is the"chief cause of urinary tract infec-tions in hfuman beings," so that |

newly-created strains could posegreat hazards, Youderianclaimed.

Professor of Psychology StevenChorover said that there was afailure to consider possible butunintentional consequences ofthis research among 'the scientificdecision-makers.

He warned that decisions onresearch are often made by a "cultof expertise" made up of scientistsinvolved in this work - a groupthat may lack Objectivity.

The "prudent path," accordingto Chorover may be to insist thatmore effort be directed towardresearch on environmental sub-stances that cause cancer insteadof toward recombinant research.

Diana Echeveria, a technicianat the Harvard BiologicalLaboratories, said that "mosttechnicians don't have a clearposition" on whether recombi-nant research should take place,but that they did have a commonconcern: protecting their safety.

She complained that theresearch decisions were beingmade by an "undemocraticprocess" which did not involvetechnicians, who have a "directinterest" in the possible hazards.

recombinant research say that itmay be an important tool in un-derstanding the causes of cancer.

In response to a question fromthe audience, several of theleaders of the teach-in admittedthat their panel did not includespeakers in favor of this research,but they defended this omissionby saying that opponents of theresearch had not been given anadequate chance to speak up inprevious meetings.

Assistant Professor of BiologyDavid Housman, a researcherwho has been prevented from do-ing recombinant research by theCambridge ban, was allowed tospeak briefly.

A Draper Lah employee,Benichasa took over the sumnerleague in 1974 and expanded itfrom a 15-teamn fast pitchorganization to a very popular ac-tivity, involving over 750 partici-pants and 50 teams in all levels ofplay last year. Benichasa alsodeveloped an elaborate playoffformat that involved all teams inpost-season competition withrewards for high regular seasonfinish.

Tom Stagliano G. who workedclosely with Benichasa for theleague, said that he "improved thelevel of play by sponsoring of-ficialting courses, alnd was veryenergetic and dedicated."

Stagliano is meeting with M ITAthletic Department officials thisweek abIout the possibility of es-

Library thief nets walletsTwo students studying in the

Hayden Library Wednesday after-noon suffered the loss of theirwallets to an unknown thief orthieves. In both cases the womenwere sitting at tables with theirhandbags hung on the back oftheir chairs. They discovered thewallets missing as they madeready to leave. Both lost ID's andother personal papers. One lostabout S15 cash; the other lost$lQO.

Seen wandering in and out ofnumerous locations in the area atthe timge was a female, 17 to 18years of age, 5'6", reddish brownhar, wearing Levis and carrying abrown leather bag. She was seenby several people at the time, allof whom thought she appearednot to belona there.

Valuable greenery stolensPotted trees and plants, valued

at approximately $350, werestolen from their beds at an East'Camnpus area residence. Taken inthe weekend theft were some ninepieces, including a three foot highOrange saplinag.

Two new cars stolenTwo brand new cars, one a '76

Pontiac, the other a '76 Buick,were, stolen from the area withinthe past week. The former wastaken from the river side ofMemorial Drive, the latter fromthe East Garage. The Buick wasrecovered the next day in SouthBoston after being stripped bry thethieves (right down to the radialti res).

IntrudersAt times people return to their

rooms, offices, etc., and find astranger inside. The strangerusually has a "cover" story, suchats: looking for employment, ortrying to find some person.

Regardless of the story proveded,take close notice of the intruder'sappearance, age, height, weightand clothing and notify theCampus Patrol as soon as safetyallows. Do not forcefully confrontintruders or pursue them whenthey flee. Such action involves ahigh degree of risk, and has in thepast resulted in assaults uponmembers of the community. It isfar more advisable to be able toprovide a good description of anintruder and the direction of flight- then notify the Campus Patrolimmediately.

Alon- the same lines, wheneveryou n.otice juveni les or otheirstrangers wandering about, orentering dormitories, offices, labs,etc., notify the Campus Patrol im-mediately.. Officers will quicklyrespond. Remember that if youlive in a dorm, it serves as yourhome while you're here. No onecan keep it secure better than you.

ff1nn opo y" ei swere being run by dormitories andother student activities. These-other series were breaking even orlosing money, and were cuttinginto LSC's attendance significant-ly, causing us to have to decreaseour lecture budget.

This year, Finboard (theU ndergralduate AssociationFinance Board) cut off funding toSACC due to its illegal use of suchmoney to publicize the campaignol Plhil Moore for UAP'(UJndergraduate AssociationPresident) (,n.h. LSC has receivedno Finboard funding since 1963- we are completely self-supporting). In order to raisefunds, SACC decided to start afilm program, ostensibly to showfilms which were politically, intel-lectually or socially stimulating.

LSC's objections to the SACCfilm program are: 1) 10 of the 13films being shown by SACC havebeen shown by LSC in the past 2-3years, and most of those were like-IY to have heerr shown by LSCwithin a year, and 2) there is avery limited audience size and alimited number of good recentfilms - if we must share thesewith another group (or severalother groups - there would be nostopping several other series fromstarting), the money coming inwould not fund ants "importantfunctions within MIT," it wouldall be going to the film companies

and assorted overhead costs. (Thisassurnes the market is saturated- from experience we know it is.)

Not only the question of profitfor lectures is at stake. LSCprofits have also been goingtoward technical improvements.Much of the current projectionequiprnent, lenses, sound systems.etc.. which LSC uses 'have beenpaid for'by LSC. We're one o'very fews "non-theatrical" Croupsin the country which shows filmsin 35niln formalt (r ther than theinferior 16nlm format). Theoverall quality of our service tothe conmnunity has depended onour "n'onopoly." Dividing thefilm market will result in adecrease in quality of the filmsshown, and in the quality of theway they are shown. In order toeconomize, LSC's -program willbecome quite similar to SACC's- we will he showing even

cheaper films without the properequipment. That is how film seriesare run at most universities, evenones many times the size of MIT.

In a nutshell, the question is:should movie profits be investedin better films, better equipment.and in lectures, or should themnoney he spent on showing thesame films more often?

It's up to you.Michael Dornbrook '76Publiciti, Director, LSC

T t1he Editor:

This letter is being written inresponse to the letter by FrederickM. Rust '77 which appeared inlast Friday's Tote Tre, (9/17/76)and in general to try to clarifyLSC's position, as I see it, *iny a ri.sSACC (the Social Action Coor-dinating Committee).

I can easily understand howanyone who did not attend theASA hearing might share the opi-nions of Illr. Rust. The reportingby the carwnpus media of the argu-meints made hy L.SC and SACChas been very shallow. Also, in afight between a David and aGoliath, it is only human natureto side with "the little guy." But Ithink that the decision reachedunanirnously by the Five ASA Ex-ecutive Committee membersshows that LSC's position is quitesound.

Mr. Rust made two erroneousstatements concerning film in-dustry practices and "monopoly."He claimed that LSC could buyexclusive showing rights to a filmfrom the distributors. This is com-pletely untrue and shows how iit-tle Mr. Rust knows about thissubject. LSC is in a class of filmusers known as "non-theatrical."Exclusive showing rights are onlyavailable in the "theatrical"market (real film theaters). Beingnon-theatrical has many disad-vantages: I) films are onlyavailahle when no local theater isinterested in them, 2) the dis-tributors take advantage of thefact that we are tax-free, etc., bycharging outrageous prices (manytimes what a theater would pay)and 3) no off-campus advertisingis allowed and ID's must bechecked. LSC has looked serious-ly into beconming "'theatrical," butthere appear to he too many legalproblerns.

Mr. Rust also claimed that itwas illegal in this country to "'sti-fle all competition in a commer-cial venture." This is not exactlytrue. There are a large number ofZ covern m e n t-c reated andgovernment-regulatednonopolies - the utilities. Evenin this "free-market economy,people have realized that in sonreinstances the wastefulness of comn-petition outweighs the manymerits (imagine five electricutilities serving the same area withseparate distribution systems).

In 1965, the popularly-eiectedstudent government of MIT (In-scomm or Institute Committee),effectively gave LSC the exclusiveright to show "entertainment"films. The reasons which led themto this decision are still valid. Atthe time, several other film series

land unfair for fraternity Rushchairmen to assume that all blackfreshpeople who attend rush ac-tivities of frats are uninterestedand it is equ zI!y ridiculous to use arumor that is close to being tenyears old as a guideline for issuingbids, when the. chairpeople of theBSU have been and will continueto be available for anyl clarifica-tion.

It is immediately obvious onceagain that the BSU has been heldresponsible for the personal opi-nions and/or actions of black un-dergraduates on campus, whetherthey are members or not. Ali'Black students are not mlenber.:and are riot necessarily, interestedin the BSU, parricularily reshpeo-ple.

This is an official statement ofthe Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology Black Students'Union (MvIITBSU) policyregarding Black undergraduatestudent fraternity involvement.Recently it has come to our atten-tion that once again a false rumorhas been circulated amrong partici-pants of Residence-OrientationWeek. The rumor implies that theBSU blocks, restricts. or dis-courages black students fromselecting M IT fraternities as aviable living -roup. This is andhas been for at least four vears, acompletely prefabricated excusefor the ignorance or lack of abilityof fraternity house members toconsider black freshpeople asprospective members when theyexpress interest in a particularfrat.

On the other hand, we make noclaim that all or even a majdrity ofblack freshpeople have or willever seriously consider frats as amore attractive alternative thandormitories. However, it is wrong

Bealvers on the gridiron:an IWIT football weekend

By Glenn BrownsteinI'm probably the nth person to write about this fantasy, but have you

ever wondered what it would be like if MIT had a football team? Picturethis: Briggs Stadium packed with 10,000 screaming fans awaiting theopener against Boston University or Northeastern. Cheerleaders, dres-sed in cardinal and gray, with a giant "T" on their sweaters, would leadthe crowd in choruses of -e to the x du dA. e to the x Ax .. .. or "give mean M, give me an A, give Me an S .. $ (to be done only at halftime).

.At precisely 1:30 on a given football weekend, MIT's appointedladilators, culled from the "jock frats" and some of' the more athleticdorm residents, would jug onto the field in their cardinal and gray uni-forms, topped with a cardinal helmet with the traditional toothy red"Brass Rtat" beaver on it. The marching band could be an enlarged,improved version of LCA's current troupe that "performs" at A-leaguefO()thll ganies (yes, that is the National Anthem vouLve heard at theKugbh F-ield on *I Sunday afternoon even though when LCA plays it, itcould he anything).

And what about a card section'? UCLA has one, as does USC, andcomputer sim ulations could generate some rather remarkable messages,as USC( found out about ten years ago. That years the UISC activities of-liee was broken into the night before the UCLA game, the sole purposebeing to exchange the cards intended for use with those speciallyprepalred by members of the California Institute of Technology. At hallttimee before a national television audience, USC went through itsroutine flawlessly until the section reached the altered trick. In front ofChris Schenkel, Bud Wilkinson, and about 20 million TV viewe'rs, theStunt designed to rend "Beat UCLA" read, well, not "beat," tut

something else with four letters. Ah, the humor of those -Cai Techfolks....

What about "tailgate parties" in the Kresge parking lot at noon andafter the game every week? Think of aiunint wearing raccoon coats andwaving "Technology" pennants,' or, on Homecoming Day, sitting in

pride as the Ugliest Man on Campus (UMOC) rides into the stadium on,,1 chariot. wearing the "Homecoming Queen" crown. Recent alumniwould get their first look at a real MIT beanie, as well as friends fromearlier classes.

And the game itself, well, coaches would have the most .dvanced

technical equipment, as well as jan-irning devices f1'r the opponent.It'd he costlyV sure. We'd lose a lot of our intralmuraals, and cut back

others, but we'd have school spirit and pride. Ls well lis adnission

charges to all MIT events. Where's the Institute's recognition Ls inational athletic power'! We have more tealnis than anzNyne else does,but ABC never mentions us on the football telecasts (except maybe I

cutesy "Guess who has the most varsity tenisT'').We probahbly wouldn't have as good an academic program as wAe do

now (it you believe a story in the Georgia Tech paper last year that at-tributed that university's decline to its lootball program - 40 or 50years ago, Georgia Tech was one of the top five or ten engineeringschools in the nation).

Yet we must make some sacrifices. After aill, what's more important:having a high participation, high enjoyment, lower key, but still success-ful sports program with 30 varsity teams and 700 intramural teams in20 sports, or being a football power? You figure it out.

In essence, the 'psycho-socialassumptions of capital" are thecrux of' the conflict according toSpense. The West exports capital-intensive technology to un-derdeveloped nations whoseeconomic foundation, to be self-sustaining, must he labor-intensive. Consequently, Spensesaid, Brazil imports a modernhospital and medical school, andits newly-trained doctors leave thecountry to practice medicineabrocd. And so in Venezuela, acertain industrial plant must shutdown for weeks hecause parts andtechnicians are unobtainable.

Before the Industrial Revolu-tion, two types of technologicalaictivities were preponder~ant, ac-cording to Spense. The first, the-'craift tradition," developedlablor-savi ng, craft-orientledmachinery, under the belief thatthe inherent worth of every in-dividual necessitated a reductionin worker monotony. Accordingto Spense, this technologymasnifested itself politically asegalitarianism, democracy, ;and aphilosophy of work-as-an-ensd-iin-itself and job satisfaction.

Meantime, capital-intensive in-dustries, lumped by Spense underh e t e rm 'c om merce,'

The technological fix, the helief'that solutions to all the worldprohlerns are technological, iswhat renders Western technologyso impotent in dealing with theThird Wovrld, Spense asserted. Insocieties already racked bypolitical instability, he continued,the impnortation of Westerntechnology more often than notintroduces a sort of unstablechange witih which the TbirdWoerld can hardly cope.

Spense uses the word''technicism"' to denote thepresupposition that Westerntechnological solutions are theonlv tenable solutions for adiverse world's problems. The ad-vocattes of technicism proposeihat the Third World directly im-portr Western manulfacturingproducts, processes, or institu-tions, rather than apply Westernk nox% Icdge in innovative ways,

By Katy GroppThe Front, starring Woody Al-

The persecution of innocentcitizens -for alleged Communistsympathies by Sen. Joseph Mc-Carthy and the House Un-American Activities Committeeremains one of the country'sdarkest hours.

Scientists were discredited andcivil servants forced from- thegovernment for supposed supportof Communist causes. Enter-tainers, actors and writers wereblacklisted and denied work bytimid studios and networks fortheir alleged radicalism. TheFront, starring Woody Allen andZero M ostel, successfully portraysthe effects of this witchhhunting.

From the opening credits, blackL-nd white shots of the opulenceteing produced and consumedhere, interspersed with scenesfrom the Korean War front, ac-companied by Frank Sinatra sing-ing, The Front catches the moodof the early fifties.

As the movie opens, HowardPrince (Woody Allen). a barcashier and inept bookmaker, isreunited with an old friend, ablacklisted television writer whowants Howard to front for him atstudios so he can continue work-ing. Needing the money to coverbookmaking losses, Howard ac-cepts.

The scripts are sold to adramnatic series and Howardbecomes an instant celebrity.

Meanwhile, the network is pay-ing a ruthless anti-communiistorganization to investigate itsemployees. Howard's instant suc-cess arouses the suspicions of theagency's. director, Hennessey(Remak Ramsey). In the course ofhis investigations Hennessey dis-

covers Howard's erstwhile book-making operations which are usedto try to force him to cooperatewith the HUAC sub-committee.

Hennessey is also pursuing theseries narrator, Hecky Brown

Brown isfired and forced to spy onHoward to rehabilitate himself.The series' assistant producer,Florence Barrett (Andrea Mar-covicci), with whom Howard hasbeen having an affair, quits overHecky's firing and leaves Howardafter he refuses to write an anti-blacklisting pamphlet.

The acting and characteriza-tions support the theme of theItovie very well. Both are careful-ly developed and of high quality.

Howard Prince, the bar cashierturned celebrity writer, developsinto a quietly heroic martyr froma shallow, arrogant star and in-secure, lower class loser. HeckyBrown's systematic destruction atthe hands of the witchhunters,while nearly inevitahle, is soher-ing. Florence Barrett's transfor-mation from loving the image toloving the man is convincing. Thefalls of both Hecky Brown andHoward Prince, the ultimate loserand ultimate hero, illustrate thedestructive mood of the time.

The cinematography was verywell done, especially the use ofblack and white photography at

the beginning to set the tone of thefilm. The symbols surroundingboth Heckv Brown's suicide andHoward Prince's coniversion toliberal hero are moving.

The Front is a well balanced,well-produced film with a strongstatenent that cannot be ignored.
