Simplex Steering Committee, acitizen action group. "MIT hasconsistently, ignored the neigh-borhood's pleas."

But Walter L. Milne, assistantto the president and chairman ofthe MIIT Corporationz, said that amajority of the neighborhood fa-vors the development. "We aregoing to put on what is now awasteland some real economic ac-tivity," he said. The effect of thegrowth on the shopping district"will be a shot in the arm forCentral Square."

Bill Cavellini, a member of theSimplex Steering Committee,claimed, however, that a majorityof Cambridgeport residents op-pose MIT's general plans for de-veloprnent. The plans, which hedescribed as "'high-rise" researchand development industry and aluxury hotel, "should send shiv-ers up your spine."

Futurelof~By Janice M. Eiisen

The future of the popular In-clependent Activities Period in-tensive foreign language coursesis in doubt due to budget prob-lems in the Foreign Languagesand Literatures section of the De-partment of Humanities.

Professor Edward B. Turk,head of the section, said his office"received a. signal. very close to

By Kevin D. HurstCybermation Inc., a Cam-

bridge industrial firm, and ForestCity Enterprises Inc. announcedlast week a preliminary agree-ment to build a new facility forCybermation on MIT propertyknown as the Simplex site.

The agreement, if finalized,will include construction of anapproximately 120,000 square-foot building. The buildingwould be the first project in theredevelopment of the propertyformerly owned by the Simplex

Wire and Cable Co. in Carnbrid-geport.

Forest City's announcementcomes just two weeks after a ma-jor rezoning petition expired in acommittee of the Cambridge CityCouncil. The Caragianes peti-tion, as it was known, was thethird MIT-supported proposalfor development of the Simplexsite rejected by the city council.

"This is significant because itmarks a rejection of MIT's self-serving policies in Cambridge-port," states a news release by the

Romaine, assistant to the deait ofthe School of Humanities andSocial Sciences.

Before reorganization, moneycould be shifted between sectionsto make up deficits, she said.

The Foreign Languages andLiteratures section is the largestin the Humanities -Departmentand its enrollment is increasing,-but its budget has not kept up,Turk and Romaine said.

'Their budget for a long timehas been overspent in a majorway," Romaine said.

Turk's analysis of the situationis different. "One thing is veryclear," he said. "We are under-budgeted."

Turk said he does not expecthis section's budget to be in-creased given the Institute's pre-sent financial situation, despiterising interest in the study of for-eign languages and a "drastic"increase in enrollment.

I-AP" that it could address thisyear's budget shortfall by elimi-nating the IAP courses. Thecommitments made to the lectur-ers who teach the courses couldnot, however, be canceled, hesaid.

Dean of the School of Human-ities and Social Sciences HaroldJ. Hanham and Provost FrancisE. Low "were supportive," Turksaid. An attempt to cancel theIAP courses at that time "wouldhave been messy," he said.

Low, through a spokeswoman,declined to comment. Hanhamwas out of the country and un-available for comment.

"There has always been aproblem with the budget," Turksaid, "and we haven't yet found agood way of addressing it."

Last year's reorganization ofthe Department of Humanities,designed to give the department'ssections more autonomy, resultedin individual section budgets anda loss of flexibility, said Janet R.

lBy Andrew BeinSteven E. Barber '84 has re-

signed as chairman of the Stu-dent Committee on EducationalPolicy, according to his letter toMichael P. Witt '84, president ofthe Undergraduate Association.

Vice Chairman Joyce Whang'84 will succeed Barber Feb. l,the letter states, "in accordancewith [committee] bylaws." Shewill serve as chairman until elec-tions this spring.

"He wants to spend more timeon academics," Whang ex-plained. "I think he's still goingto be involved, but he doesn'twant to be totally responsible."

Barber is out of town this weekand was unavailable for com-ment.

Whang estimated Barber's du-ties as chairman required 10 to 15hours each week. "We talked itover before Christmas," saidWhang, adding that she is con-tent with his decision.

The Student Committee onEducational Policy 'keeps stu-dents aware of changes in basicInstitute educational policy, andmakes sure they have a voice,"Whang explained. The committeealso publishes the Course Evalua-tion Guide.

Whang also will take over Bar-

ber's seat on the Committee onEducational Policy - "the placefor the chairman to find outwhat's going on among the facul-ty," she said.

Overenrollment in the Depart--ment of Electrical Engineeringand Computer Science remainsthe major concern of the studentcommittee, Whang said.

"There is a definite problemthat has brought a lot of other is-sues to light - like what kind ofstudent do we want at MIT?" shesaid. Her suggestions for resolv-ing the problem involve "softeraction which will not totally re-strict a student's choice in anyway.')

Making other departmentsmore desirable, and adjusting ad-iissoirn reqillrelents towards di-

versity also could reduce enroll-ment, she concluded.

The constitution of the Associ-ation for Student Activities, Alli-son said, gives the group's execu-tive committee "the power toassign space in conjunction withthe [Office of the Dean for Stu-dent Affairs]."

Person said, "We are doing[the Association of Student Acti-vities'l job . . . sort of."

The Student Center Commit-tee, Allison said, "never told usanything about what they weredoing." She said she learned ofthe planned changes second-hand. "I'm still trying to find outwhat is going on."

The committee "had the officerenovations to provide better se-curity for our committee," Per-son said. "We now have a smallinner business office where oursafe will be more secure."

The Student Center Committeehad lost from its safe over $600

in receipts from a Spring Week-end concert last year.

"We plan on making [the oldtelevision room) a scheduled din-ing room, similar to the mezza-nine lounge ... for use by stu-dents," Person said.

"All of the moves go in keepingwith the philosophy of the futureof the Student Center in terms ofgetting all the groups on thefourth floor and getting the bot-tom floors to be more used bythe community," he continued.

The coxnmittee owns the televi-sion equipment and manages thetelevision room, Person said, andthus could decide to relocate theequipment.

Construction of the Jerome B.Weisner Memorial Art Gallery,meanwhile, continues in the eastlounge of the Student Center.The gallery is a gift of the Classof 1983. The Student CenterCommittee gave $500 to helpconstruct the gallery, accordingto Person.

On the third floor of the Julius A.Stratton '23 Student Center willbe moved to the basement, ac-cording to James S. Person III'86, chairman of the StudentCenter Committee.

Five student groups will takenew offices in the building as partof the reorganization late thismonth or early next month.

The committee has expandedits office space seven and one-halffeet into the adjacent televisionroom, forcing the equipment tobe relocated to a room presentlyoccupied by the Shakespeare En-semble, Person said.

Kirsi C. Allison '84, presidentof the Association of Student Ac-tivities, said the move "hnas ourapproval, contingent upon theagreement of the Debate [Soci-etyl and the Shakespeare [En-semble]."' The other clubs in-volved in the move are the MITChinese Students Club, the MIT-

First Simplex plans setForest City to build facility for Cybermation

Plans made, in--three, monthsThe agreement of Cybermation Inc. and Forest City Enter-

prises Inc. comes just-three months after MIT selected ForestCity as developer for the former Simplex properties.

Drew Leff, Forest City project director, expressed pleasurethat the first preliminary agreement to start redevelopment ofthe site had occurred so quickly.

"We are convinced that this site is ideal for an attractivemixed use development, and the agreement with Cybermationconfirms our judgment," Leff said.

"The agreement has added importance," he continued, "as along-awaited first step toward revitilizing the Cambridgeport In-dustrial Area to provide a variety of new jobs- and significantnew tax revenues for Cambridge."

J. W. Belanger, president of Cybermation, said his companywants "to maintain our association with Cambridge and ourproximity to the Cambridgeport population."

Cybermation is a new company which manufactures a com-puter-controlled cutting machine. It employs about 80 people,

lplex Sitefor the site "have been given bet-ter than a fair shot," accordingto Milne. "Physical developmentis now the name of the game."

The city can issue special per-.mits to allow slight zoningchanges, he said. He estimatedthat 85 to 90 percent of the devel-opment can be accomplishedwithout rezoning.

Milne disagreed with the con-tention that MIT is ignoringneighborhood needs. 'There is aspectrum of Jobs in high-tech,"he. said. "MIT, the purest exam-ple of high-tech, employs manyblue-collar union workers."

Blue-collar workers composeonly a small fraction of the Cam-bridge populations he said.

"The housing problem is morecomplex," Milne said. The probe'lem is not unique to Cambridge,he said, but strict rent controlskeep demand artificially high.

There is general agreement inCambridgeport that developmentis needed, Milne said, "For fiveyears we have been spinning ourwheels. It is important to getmoving on it.'

The preliminary agreementreached with Cybernation is, a"fortunate circumstance" justthree months after signing oForest City as developer, he said.

(Continued from page 1)The Simplex site is currently

zoned for industrial use withlimited housing along the perim-eter. The Caragianes petition in-tended to secure City Council ap-proval for a mixed-usedevelopment including housing, ahotel, and industrial or officespace.

The petition was allowed to diein the Committee of Ordinancesafter an alloted 90 days from itssubmission when it became clearthat the petition would not passthe council, It would have re-quired six of the nine councilvotes.

"One problem is that MIT hasa different definition of whatmixed use development means,"Cavellini said. 'They have re-fused to talk about their specificintentions with us."

Most jobs generated by theplanned industries would be Openonly to those holding a technicalgraduate degree, Cavellini said."In- many ways this is a last standnot just for Cambbridgeport, butthe whole city of Cambridge.

"Other industrial areas are go-ing the way of mid- to high-riseindustry,' he said. The Simplexsite, which is close to the size ofKendall Square, represents a cru-cial industrial area in Cambridge,

one of the five most dense citiesin the country, he added.

Another problem with the Car-agianes petition is its provisionsfor housing, which Cavellini de-scribed as too few and too expen-sive. The number of reasonablypriced housing units is "ridicu-lous," he said.

The housing provisions, he.said, would violate a '"linkageconcept" where the developertakes responsibility for the pres-sure placed on local housingavailability.

A letter to Forest City Enter-prises states, "the Simplex Steer-ing Committee can't, arid won't,sit idly by and watch the neigh-borhood continue to be blightedin anticipation of a luxury high-rise development insensitive toneighborhood needs."

The Steering Committee cankeep any zoning petition frombeing passed, according to Cavel-lini. "I wonder if MIT's moneymight be better used elsewhere"he said. "Unless MIT opens todiscussion, it is not going to be a smooth process."

MiIne disagreed: "MIT doesnot need a zoning change." Hesaid the Institute viewed the Car-agianes petition as a compro-mise.

While no formal decision toeliminate the IAP subjects hasyet been made, Turk said, "giventhe budgetary situation, it looksas if IAP is one place where wemight have to cut.' A decisionwill probably be made in thespring, he said.

Turk refused to specify thecost of the IAP program, since itconsists almost entirely of sala-ries, he said, and 'that informa-tion is confidential.

fer English as a Second Larnaguage, Turk said that idea wasdiscussed and rejected as "notappropriate" for an 1AP subject.

There are no present plans tomake cuts in the section's regularcourse offerings, he said. "We'vrebeen trying to run as lean a pro-graxn as possible, but as strong aprogram as possible," he said.

Romaine suggested enrollmentin some language subjects mightbe restricted. "You reach a pointwhere, as with Course VI, mea-sures have to- be taken whichmight delay some-one's ability totake certain subjects," she said.

The IAP intensive languageprogram began when IAP did, I0years ago, with a German Icourse for-credit. Spanish I wasadded three years ago, andFrench I and Russian I this year.

The subjects' popularity hasgrown. With a class size lmit of30 this year, between 20 and 30students were turned away fromeach of the French, German andSpanish classes. None wereturned away from the Russianclass.

Larry DeLuca 786 has done a marvelou:job in pulling this production of The Dar}of the Moon together. He demanids, a'treceives, impeccable timing from-the casand crew, which is a hodgepodge of MI1students, participants in the MIT Educational Studies Program, and members othe 'Cambridge community. This is thegroup's third production, and they has,become a cohesive unit prepared to takeon more demanding plays.

This production of The Dark of th,Moon is extremely well done, evoking aleerie sense of the effects an intrusion othe supernatural can have on people whehave extraordinarily blind faith in thetrappings of that old-time religion. Thiplay is in part a character study of a people fast disappearing in an age of urbanized sophistication, wvhere a person musmake an attempt to remain isolated an(uneducated.

Beware, though - this play presents aiugly side of Christanity, demonstrating th-mind control and peer pressure that can bimisused in the narmre of saving souls. Ialso shows a back-handed side of witchesportraying. them, as evil creatures. far removed fMom the sitcom world of Bewitched. There are some powerful perforiances here; this production of The Darioif the Moos should not be rnssed b!lovers of good dramatic action.

Drew Blakeman

The Dark of "the Moon, written by How-ard Richardson and William Berney. Pre-sented by the MIT No-Frills Theater, pro-duced and directed by Larry D~e uca;appearing in the Sala de Puerto RicoThursday through Sunday at 8 p.m., ad-mission $31$5 non-MIT.

Imagine a small village nestled in a val-ley populated, by God-fearing back coun-try folk, a superstitious lot who want onlyto work hard and bask in eternal light.Then imagine a young, male witch whofalls in love with one of the young womenin the valley - a mortal who understandsnothing of the ways of witchcraft, onlythat she loves this strange man who hascome seemingly from nowhere.

This is the setting for The Dark of theMoon, a tragic tale of a love that cannotbe. John Auickland Powell), the "witch-boy," wants to be transformed into a hu-man so that he can marry Barbara Allen(Kathryn Chamberlain '85), the mostbeautiful woman he has ever seen. The co-ven of witches who live high in the moun-tains discusses the consequences- of thisunprecedented action, saying that the mar-riage cannot possibly work out.

Finally, the Conjur Woman (CathyPiasta) agrees to the transformation, butonly under the condition that John marryBarbara, who must remain faithful to himfor a year. Otherwise, he wiA change backinto a witch. Ie goes into the valley, wherethe villagers are preparing for a little hoe-down, to see his intended.,

There he confronrts.Mkrvin Hudgens(Thomas Hurley), who has asked Barbarato dance with him. But it is John shewants to dance with, and a scuffle ensues.John emerges the victor in both the battleof fists and of the heart, and in the lastscene of the first act the happy couple iswed in the general store. John cannot en-ter a church, even as a man - that is oneof the agreements he must uphold.

Troubles begin. The townspeople arewhispering behind their backs that John isa witch. Balbara, pregnant with theirchild, hotly denies the accusation. The ba-by's birth serves to confirm the suspicionsof the majority, though, and now she mustface the fact that John is, or at least atone time was, indeed a witch.

The cast adopts the mannerisms of theimpovershed southern dirt farmers to ex-cellent effect -'the accents and speechpatterns are near-perfect, and the castmembers dress and look like one wouldexpect of people living a life of bare sub-sistance. The characters often break intosong, usually a capella but occasionally ac-companied by the guitar or accordion ofUncle Smelicue (Ralph Opie '86).

The songs are the simple folk tunes ofan America past, often sung while toilingaway at farm chores; they also reaffirm thedifferences between witches and humans.They occasionally break into Baptisthymns alternating with heightened speech,as in the penultimate scene's tent revivalmeeting.

Powell brings the character of witch-boyJohn to life, showing his happiness in thefirst act and mounting anguish in the sec-ond as his life begins to unravel. He istaunted by two fellow witches (IndiaStarker '81 and Stacey Goldstein), whowant him to leave his mortal wife and re-turn to the life of the supernatural.

Chamberlain portrays Barbara as awoman who knows what she wants, butwho does not quite know how to handle itwhen she gets it. She is caught up in theaction, eventually becoming a mere pawnin the battle between good and evil. Shehas an exceptional singing voice; her clar-ity of tone as pure and sweet as bells ring-ing in the distance. The rest of the castmembers also sing well, able to do farmore than just stay in tune.

It is the little things that count in anytheatrical production, the small businesswhich goes on that is not directly relatedto the main action on stage. The No-Frillstroupe does this exceptionally well, always-remaining in character to the most minutedetail even when the focus of the action iselsewhere.

burgeoning self-righteouness in all mat-ters relating to the Soviet Union. Ironi-cally, an allegory by a socalist about theevils of totalitaranism has served as areinforcer of American anti-communism-socialismil-Russianism-no difference inthe public mind after decades of undis-criminating media onslaught. So Russiais Big Brotherism - doublespeaking,doublethinking, not to be trusted - in apresidential word: evil.

When our "antagonist" had been re-duced to adsurdity we could indulge our-selves in an orgy of contempt and dis-pose of all of the human race in a redgarbage bag. And some of us continue todo that in blind disregard of our ownshortcomings, in spite of our ten-yearperversity in Vietnam, our late awaken-ing to civil rights, our doctrinaire cal-lousness to those emerging from dictato-rial oligarchies (Cuba, Nicaragua, etc.)

It is not to detract from the genius ofOrwell to say that a' 1984 set in Russiawas just what America didn't need atthat time (1948). Totalitarianism neededsatirizing, but America didn't need therelative increase in smug self-satisfactionthat accrued from the concomitant de-preciation of Russia. The real 1984 willfind us dealing with a different kind ofexaggeration from the extreme mind-control Orwell satirized: the overkill ofnuclear weapons built to confront thehyperbolized foe. The problem is notmind-control but minds out-of-control.It is real, not allegory, not a future-visionwhich may be avoided.

More bombs mean fewer bombs.Sound familiar? We could- have taken

ilar to 1984Orwell's vision more personally and seenit less as pertaining to someone else.Weakness is strength. We fought a warfor eight years because we didn't want to"cut and run" - as though our Davidwould appear cowardly in the face of theNorth Vietnamese Goliath. (But by Godwe'll show 'em in Grenada and El Salva-dor. We've now "cured" our VietnamSyndrome, which is the fear of beingbloody-handed, wrong-headed fools.Victory for Newspeak!)

The challenge for the real 1984 is howto get America back to a balanced viewof Russia. We spend trillions of dollarson armaments because if we let downour guard for a minute, the mad hMos-cow bomber will be upon us. It is a con-temptuous attitude. Our impugning thesanity of others to this degree begets onlya keen wariness on the part of those oth-ers lest our presumptuous diagnosis leadus to prescribe a lobotomy. In fact wasn'tit Nixon who had a plan to cultivate a"crazy" American image so that oppo-nents would be kept uncertain of justwhere we stood on the matter of violentactions? Doublethink always keeps 'emguessing (and, as we know, building).

Nineteen eighty-four will be the yearof missle deployment in Europe. It may,we fervently hope, also be the year whenAmerica is persuaded to disavow its ex-treme mistrust of Russia. By continuingthis development costing hundreds ofmillions, and by simultaneously disrupt-ing the lives of hundreds- of millions, allas a means of achieving a reduction ofmissles, we so obviously exhibit the irra-tionality which we ascribe to others that

cial/political problems on the as-sumption that the human beingscan go terribly wrong in their efLforts to order their societies, butits premise assumes there will besocieties which can go wrong (orpossibly, with infinite care, right).It does not tieal with the physicalend of the human race. So the-real 1984 is fraught with closerhorrors -than the allegory (asclose as a telephone), and yet sal-vation, in the reality, is at leantpossible to achieve. Once fiction-al characters are stripped of theirindividuality, we must assumethere is no hope of recovery. Weare not in that state, either hereor in Russia. 1984 is a powerfulstory, but only a story. Hope liesin the simple effort to understandother human beings, beginningwith the belief that these are hu-mans and not robots, devils, orcharacters in an allegory. Nothinghopeless about that ... whilethere is still time - . before thenuclear accident occurs ... as itmost surely will with continuedproliferation of misunderstand-ings, denunciations, and bombs.

the feeling that America is evil.Capitalism may be evil, but may-be because we had no one withthe genius of Orwell devestatingus, we escaped receiving particu-larized contempt. There isenough control in Russia to makethe promotion of hatred possible.For whatever reasons, this hasnot happened,. and it providesreason for hope. In fact, restrainton the part, of the Russians has-been commendable in the face ofcharges by our unbuttoned presi-dent that they cheat and lie to at-tain their ends.

The more important reason forhope in the coming 1984 is, how-ever, the stirrings of people ev-erywhere to have done with thetortuously reasoned pronounce-ments confirming that mankind'sonly hope is to "stop worryingand love the bomb." The carpingabout "The Day After" as beingonly a means of scaring ourselvesto paralysis will not wash. Peopleon both sides need to be scared.They need to realize that theycannot leave the "preventive mea-sures" to the experts, and, in-

deed, they have shown a readi-ness to make their thoughts andfeelings known. In West and East(!) Germany. and in Englanad,overt, non-violent' action growsapace. In America, the tabooagainst the expression of desiresfor understanding of the SovietUnion loses its force. Reasonablepeople know that America is any-thing but weak, that our technol,ogy is very strong, and that in al,most every-step of the escalatingarms race, we have led the way.This conviction overwhelms thearguments of the opponents of aconciliatory beginning who alrways want the Russians to startthe process of rapprochement.We are stronger and more sure ofour identity. The first move islogically ours. The hope for 1984is that the stirrings of reasonableness become a powerful forcewhich must be reckoned with byour President and Congress.

The book 1984, although fullof pessimism, could not havecompletely anticipated the awfulpredicament we have created forourselves'. it deals with the sot

(Continued fromn page 4)and promoting human freedomand peace. He honestly believesthat liberal policies will achievethese goals. I had a chance to. seethis firsthand when I sereved fourmonths as a full-time intern forTsongas during 1982.

I learned a great deal aboutpolitics and people during my in-ternship. I saw a leader who real-ly cared about the issues thatmatter to me. I also saw dozensof other politicians who pretend-ed to care - but did not. Thesewere men who would bend to thewishes sf every special interest allin the name of helping the disad-vantaged and downtrodden.

In Washington, I also saw thatour government's policies are of-ten made in a paper dream worldruled by sycophants and hypo-crites. Much to my dismay, I sawa bloated and misguided bu-reaucracy incapable of dealing ef-fectively with our country's prob-lems. I learned -that the liberalpolicies that looked so nice onpaper did not work so well in re-ality.

These realizations, however,have never caused me to lose myrespect and admiration for PaulTsongas. Working for him wasone of the best experiences of mylife. We may now disagree on theissues, but I know Tsongas doeswhat he thinks is right, and he isan honest man. There are not toomany of those left in Washingtonthese days.

In the hubbub of the 1984 elec-itions, Paul Tsongas's contribu-tions may well be overshadowedmay well be overshadowed byOther events, but }his allies- andhis adversaries -will not forgeth im. I, for one, will always re-member him as the mann who

TAMPA, Fla. -What a crum-my game. As a Redskins fan, Iwas personally disappointed thatWashington made such a terriblyuncharacteristic showing, theirworst game in three years. Takeaway a few plays -the blockedpunt in the first quarter, the in-terception at the end of the firsthalf (on the most questionablecall I have seen-since Richard M.Nixon's "trick" plays) -and thegame would have had a complete-Iy different complexion.

Of course, as the 'Skinls wellknow, a superior team will makebig plays like those happen. TheRaiders were the superior teamSunday. They jumped to an earlylead, preventing the Redskinlsfrom following the game planthat brought them to the SuperBowl and made them the league'sbest team over the past threeyears. The season series betweenthe two clubs is now tied at 1-1;the 'Skins record is 16 3, theRaiders are 154. Bring on the re-match! The t,

er ejected for -the heinous crimeof being drunk and disorderly.

Last year, tickets were morereasonably priced - the RoseBowl seats 30 thousand morethan Tamnpa Stadium, and inter-est in the Super Bowl was not asgreat in last year's strike-short-ened season as it was this year.The NFL's ticket distributionpolicy encourages scalping. Fewerthan half of the game tickets getinto the hands of the fans of thetwo teams who make the SuperBowl. Somehow, travel agentsand scalpers seem to have an un-limiteed supply of tickets at outra-geous prices.

The halftime show, which wasput on by the folks at Dis-neyworld, was spectacular. Themost carefully choreographedand elaborate show I have everseen at a football game, rivallingthe big production numbers inthe old Busby Berkdley musicals.Nice pyrotechnics (I go for fireand smoke) but they almost gotout oyf hand. A fire lit near oneendzone nearly got out of control- the fans in that area had to beevacuated temporarily until theflames were extinguished. Arocket fired from the field failedto burn up in the air andplunged, still lit, into the crowd.No injuries were reported.

Afterward, I was accosted bytwo born-agains who wouldn'ttake no for an answer, and thenmy grandmother's ancient Dodgewouldn't start (it needed a newalternator). But it was fun singing"Hail to the Redskins" 983 timeswith a bunch of other drunks.

The officiating in the SuperBowl was llorrenldously inconlsis-tent. The pass interference callon Darrell Green in the thirdquarter, which set up the Raidersfourth touchdown of the game,was a much less blatant foul thanone that should have been calledin the second quarter on whatwould have been a touchdownpass from Joe Theismann toCharlie Brown.

On Marcus Allen's 74-yardjaunt into the end zone on the fi-nal play of the third quarter, thereferees missed both holding atthe point where Allen reversed di-rection in the backfield and a clipfurther downfield on the last manwho had a chance at catching Al-len. You would think the leaguewould get the best officials to callthis game; if the ones it got werethe best the league has to offer, Iwould have hated to see theworst.

Can you imagine Pete Rozellehaving to hand the coveted ster-ling silver Vince Lombardi Tro-phy over to nemesis Al Davis?They make Bowie Kuhn andGeorge Steinbrenlner look likedrinking buddies. The Raider ow-ner's lawsuit against the NationalFootball League is still pending;the league has appealed a $50million antitrust judgment leviedagainst it for blocking the Raid-ers mnove from Oakland to LosAngeles. Who knows, they maywind up back in Oakland nextyear. Rumors of a Raider moveto Shea Stadium have been de-scribed as "ludicrous.

The Redskins will be the mostimproved teamn in the NFL nextseason. Will this gamne leave asour taste in their throats? Youbet it will. Three seasons ago,

after the Philadelphia Eagles lostSuper Bowl XV (to Oakland),they fell apart, their coach DickVermiel burned out and retired tothe broadcast booth, and theteam now inhabits the cellar Ofthe NFC Easternl Division (theNew York Giants lie ine the sub-cellar).

'Skins coach Joe Gibbs is afantastic motiv~ator - the teamwill want badly to avenge thismost bitter of defeats. Quarter-back Joe Theismanln, fullbackJohn Rigginls, and placekickerMark Moseley are all, at 34 yearsold, coming off their finest sea-sons ever. All will return nextyear.

"We got a tremendous recep-tion by the Mexicans," he added.

bers did return ill,, some from in-testinal bacteria, and others froma change in weather, Walsh said.Mexico City had temperatures inthe high 70s the entire week.

A defeat back ill the UnitedStates Saturday by Brown Uni-versity ended the Engineers' suc-cess. Walsh was quick to remark,however: "MIT wrestling has got-ten better in the last four y-ears."

The first person or team of people to give Warren Smith, HAY I110 East Campus 3 Ames St. 225-6125, the correct answers to these chess problems will 'win $30. The second prize is $20. Any chessnotation may be used to write solutions, as long as it is clear and unarnbiguous.

-All you need to solve these problems are logic and a knowledge of chess rules. Recall "obscure"rules such as underprorhotion. Possibly, some of these problems have more than one correct solu-tion. In this case, Smith will give prizes preferentially to people submitting more solutions.

The problems were contibuted by Prof. R. P. Stanley of the Department of Mathematics fromRussian Journals published in 1880, or else some equally obscure and untraceable place. Prize moneywas conbtributed by the departruent, and photocopying money by the IAP committee.

lBy Burt S. KaliskiThe MIT wrestling team took

third place in a field of 10 teamsat the L azar ode C ard en as in ter -national tournament in MexicoCity earlier this month.

Co-captain Ken Shull '84 -anAll-American in the 150-poundclass -earned a first place mark,beating a wrestler who was thirdin Pan American competitionslast fall.

Ed Cashman '87 also garneredfirst place honors ill the 180-pound class, while Cesar Maior-ino '84 held second in the sameclass . Pat Peters ' 85 , at 170pounds, aned co-captain SteveIkeda '85, at 150 pounds, eachwon third place in their classes.

"It was exciting for us,' re-marked coach Tim Walsh, "be-cause in the newspaper ExcelsiorSteve Ikeda has his picture on thefront of the sports page." Excelsi-or is Mexico City's only majornewspaper, serving the city's ap-proximately 15 million residents.

Polytechnical Institute -ofMexico won the tournament, andthe University of Mexico -witha population of 200,000 students- edged MIT by one point totake second place.

M~exico's Marines took fourth,and Swarthmore College's team,which travelled south of the bor-der with the Engineers, finishedninth.

The team raised the money forthe 13-day trip by calling alumniwho had been on the team andby selling food at fooball games,Walsh said.

The wrestlers trekked to Mexi-co Jan. 3, expecting to train at.the Mexico City Olympic com-pound. But a strike there forcedthe team to practice at 09axtepec,"a tourist spot," according toW~alsh.

O~axtepec's facilities were infe-rior to those where the 1968Olympics were held, he said. "Wehad to train without wrestlingmats."

Thle team went to Mexico Citythree days later for its first matchagainst the University of Mexico.Oaxtepec is at sea level, and theteam suffered from Mexico City'sthinner air.

The university's team has moremembers than does MIT, Walshsaid. Each Engineer wrestled twoor three opponents, but the teamwas able to beat "what wouldhave been their starters' by ascore of seven to three.

M IT did not fare so wellagainst its next opponent, theMexiican Marines. The militarysubsidizes the team to train forthe Olympics, but requires nocombat service, Walsh said.

The third match, after theweekend, saw the Engineers takeeight of ten bouts against the Po-lytechnical Institute of Mexico.

destroyed the Coast Guard Bearsat thle Athletics Center Saturday,racking up 107 points to Coast

Guard's 29 by defeating the Bearsin all but two events.

Pat Parris '85 and Greg Proco-pio '85 began the day by trounc-ing the opponents in the 35-lb.weight throw and the shot put.

Parris hurled his weight 53'4" towin,, and Procopio followed with

a 48'11/2 " throw to take second.Procopio then put his shot

44'51/2 " to finish first while Parristook a close second with a dis-tance of 43'61/2''. Bill Kelly '85completed the sweep by puttinghis shot 39'7".

MIT failed to take first place in

only two events the long andhigh jumps. Even there, thle En-

gineers made impressive sho:w-ings.

Ron Smith '85 jumped 6' andsettled for second place in thehighl julmp. Fellow high jumper

Barry Kornstein '84 came up fourinches short to take third.

Jacob Kim '87 snared secondin the long jump with a distance

of 20'7". Ed Freeman '86 took a

close third with 20'5".Kim then went on to bound his
