__ 'VOLUME 89, No. 49 MIT,CAMBRIDGE,MASSACHCJSETTS FRIDAYDECEMBER 5, 1969 FIVE CENTS I . The National Conference on Social and Economic Conver- sion, sponsored by SACC and the Fund- for New Priorities, opened on a hopeful note Wed- nesday night as speakers ex- plored the general implications of conversion of the American economy, but Thursday's dis- cussions produced only one spe- cific proposal. The keynote session Wednes- day night was called to order 15 minutes late by Leon Shiman of SACC. The reason for the delay may have been the antics of the audience. Each person attending had been given a balloon before he took his seat, and the air was filled with inflated ones being tossed about. the room, accom- panied by comments like "'turn all bombs into balloons" and "all conferences should be con- verted into playgrounds.' The first scheduled speaker, Senator Thomas Eagleton (D. Mo.), was unable to attend but sent his legal aide instead. In his prepared statement he talked of the "myriad of unmet problems and needs" present in an economy conditioned by war and war spending. The statement described testimony currently being taken on conversion by Eagleton's committee in the Senate but ended on a disheart- ening note. 'Even small changes in the law,"' it read, Fare dif- ficult, and full scale social en- gineering may be impossible. Richard Barnett, Co-director of the Institute for Policy Studies, the second speaker, spoke on the "economy pf death" and the structure of the military-industrial comp'lex. In relating how the military services emnbellished the threat to suit their internal-purpose, he said, "It's. essential to have an enemy worthy of your own war plans." The two main issues he saw facing the conference were those relating to attitudes. To convert, he said, we must first show that national security is not only an expert's activity, and we must · generate a willingness to change priorities both in national defense and in other national affairs. Prof. John Gurley of Stan- ford University, discussed the (Please turn to page 3) - "Continuous-News Service - Since 1881 ." , "trying to set up norms within the community." Nyhart mentioned three con- siderations which were instru- mental in his decision. First he did not want to do anything which might influence in any way the workings of the two panels currently looking into the events surrounding November Actions. Second he felt that the time lag between the time of the incident and the decision was too great. (This he attributed to the November Actions.) Thirdly, Nyhart hoped that his future decisions could benefit greatly from the result's of the current two disciplinary panels. It had been originally expect- ed that the Baddour Committee would make a recommendation to Dean Nyhart as to whether the Faculty Discipline Commit- tee should take up the matter. As previously reported in the November 18 issue of The Tech, the Baddour Committee report declined to make such recom- mendations. This necessitated Nyhart's making the decision. When asked if he agreed with the gist of the report Nyhart answered in the affnrmative, stat- ing that he agreed especially with the report's stress on the seriousness of the "threat to the fabric of the institution." Nyh2art's statement Excerpts from a statement released by Dean Nyhart yes- terday stated "I personally feel this was a serious event, and most arguably of the nature that ought in the future to invoke appropriate internal sanctions.

Daniel Nyhart, in an interview with Thte Tech, stated Wednes- day that he has recommended no action be taken by the Facul- ty Discipline Committee regard- ing the October 3 Corporation meeting incident. This decision was reached af- ter conversations with members of - the Baddour Committee which was set up to examine the facts of the incident. In reccominending no action Nyhart agreed that the case was actionable but also stressed that "in the past we have rolled with much the same type of inci- dent."

ROTC reformEddleman presented a list of
reccomendations of the specialcommittee on ROTC establishedby the faculty last May. Thecommittee, chaired by Prof.Fred McGarry, proposed thatROTC should not be set up inacademic-type departments. In-stead, an Office of Rt)TC Pro-grams, responsible to the Prcovost would be set up, with itsprograms and courses under thejurisdiction of a special ROTCcommittee. No academic creditwould be given for pure ROTCcourses and only the heads ofthe three ROTC units wouldhave the professorial rank (thatof Visiting Professor) as requiredby law. Eddleman stated thatthe entire set of proposals wouldbe presented to the faculty, foraction later this year.

bring about the necessarychanges.
Carl Oglesby, a past presidentof SDS , picked up where Gurleyleft off. carrying the audienceinto a discussion of imperialismand the anti-imperialist struggle.Viewing history in this way leftus, he said, with only oneworthwhile job to do on this"space craft which we all happento be aboard," and that is pre-paring the way for conversion bybuil d i ng the anti-imperialistmovement in this countrybeyond the campuses.
The session closed with a taperecording of a statement byAndr Gorz. who had been de-tained in New York (apparentlyby US authorities). It was followed by a film, produced bySACC on conversion.

Mr. Ciulla defended
To the Editor:Over the past several months,
the MLTSDS has maliciously at-tacked the character of Mr. Sal-latore Ciulla, a Night Assistant
in our Building Services opera-tion. We wish to unequivocallystate that their allegations -areunfounded and in direct conflictwith the available facts
The Department of PhysicalPlant stands ready, as in thepast. to openly discuss legitimateitems of concern with membersof the MIT community. It isindeed regrettable that any in-dividual or group would resortto outright character assassi-nation aimed expressly at depriving one of his livelihood with-out first extending the slightesteffort to-ascertain the validity oftheir allegations.
William R. DicksonAssistant Director
Physical Plant
Much has been written about the massacre ofVietnamese civilians and Song My and the Ameri-can soldiers who are alleged to have committedthat atrocity.
It is our hope that the American public willcome to see that that what happened at Song Mywas not the product of the evil in a few men butrather of -the type of war we are fighting. It is awar in which "ally" and "enemy" look alikebecause it is their country, not ours, and becausethe average Vietnamese probably cares more aboutpeace than about who wins. 'Add an Americancompany which has suffered nearly 50%S casualtiesin forty straight days of fighting and has beenforced to think of Vietnamese as "gooks" ratherthan as human beings so that they cankeep killingthem and still sleep at night, and things happen,
regardless of whom the individuals involved hap-pen to be. Any guilt which is to be apportionedmust be apportioned to each and every American,because we chose to fight that war.
And how many Song My's have happenedwithout being reported? How many have occurredthrough massive bombing in free-fire zonesl (SongMy, a fully occupied'villiage was in a so-called'free fire zone", in which anything that moves isassumed to be enemy.) We will never know theanswer to this question because no Americansoldiers are ever there when the bombs fall.
It is our hope that the American people will beable to understand why Song My happened (andwhy it is probably being repeated as you read this)and not to think that the guilt for the massacrecan be neatly assigned to a few individuals.
Naturally, you were alllistening to the Uncle SamSweepstakes Monday night. Didyou find yourself praying thatyour birthday would fall at num-ber 360? You're lying if you sayyou didn't.
Big deal, I'd figured. So whatI'm 2-S, we'll worry about itlater After all, I've still got twoyears at good ol' MIT, right?And by then, the war will beover, won't it? Well, won't it?Hm?
But... Jeez, 'I've been inschool for - let's see now --fifteen years... that's a longtime, too long. I am tired of it,damnit. Maybe I can take a yearoff if my birthday comes up at,say, 320 ....
The drawing commences.Huddled around a radio in aroommate's room at my apart-ment: four roommates, twogirls and me
"Not April 25." ' January 21at 361." "Oh, God, if I'm in the.first hundred I'm screwed." "IfI'm in the last hundred I'bhletting my deferment lapse andtaking a year off and going toEurope."
I'd love to do that....Through the tens, the twen-
ties, the fifties, on into thehundreds. My stomach grows un-
easy. My muscles grow tense.
Come on. snake-eyes....It is ridiculous, being here,
listening to two nasal Southern
voices drone away the life draw-
ings, deciding my fate. I feel like
the stakes in a crap game. Maybelife is a crap game ....
You can't win, you can'tbreak even, you can't get out ofthe game - the laws of thermo-
dynamics paraphrased.
But why, why should thisstupid drawing make any diff-
erence to me at all? It will notend the War or make it right if I
am number 360 and need not
face the draft.

I was fifteen and in theHahneman med school cadaverroom. They hang cadavers onhooks meathook style. 150 cada-vers in a cold locker and methey frozen in the stiff posturesof rigor mortis,.some with theireyes open very icy staring. allcold and stiff and the faces nolonger quite human, and me,frozen in the posture offear butwanting very much to screamand turn from the awful face ofso much death. I dreamed cada-vers that night, and every sooften when they picture thedead in TIME or on NBC, Idream cadavers and wish theywould leave my mind forever.

Prison. I've thought aboutprison. If the war's still on,refuse induction, maybe. If not,go in, and if they try to send meto one of their police' actionsrefuse to go and wind up in amilitary jug. Give me time towrite a book, maybe
or g t beaten up by thegoons or the guards, get fuckedup by the fags. Theres time. inprison, time to grow pale andthin and sick and bitter, time tolet the hatred for the systemthat put you there grow andfester and -so consume your soulthat when they finally let youpass out from the bars you willwant to kill want to destroy.You will be a criminal then, andthen what have you won?...
In the high 300's, my otherroommates are called. I'm not sohappy, but it could be worse. Icould be 1-A now, instead oftwo years from now. And, Icome from a poor town - lotsof blacks and Puerto Ricans andpoor whites and they all enlist.
When you consider thatNixon pushed this "draft re-form" as a means to help stillthe clamor of dissenting youth,you begin to wonder. is yournumber 345? Are you going tosit back 6nd say, "Well, I'm safe.Everything's all right now."?(The reverse applies, too. Whatare you going to do, number 22?Suddenly the war is very real.) Ifyou do you're doing what theadministration wants you to do.They'll still get their manpower.
No draft reform can evermake the draft system right ifthose conscripted are sent toVietnams to bomb and burnand massacre in a war that can-not be won, that everyone agreeswas a mistake" or worse, inwhich you can't tell enemy fromally.

MITexqperts ponder arms race outlook

Copyright 1969 by the Board ofDirectors of The Tech. 1This articlemay not be reproduced in whole orin part in any form without priorwritten consent of the above.
Within the next year or two,US and Soviet intentions con-cerning the deployment of ABMsystems and miltiple warheadmissiles will probably becomemuch firmer than they are atpresent. What those intentionswill ultimately be will be deter-mined to a large extent by theStrategic Arms limitationsTalks, which. both powers re-cently began in Helsinki, Fin-land. In a very real sense, decis-ions which are now being madeand will be made in the verynear future will shape the worldbalance of strategic nuclear wea-pons for a long time to come.
To illuminate the major armsissues and bring the communityup to date on the. state of thenuclear balance; The Tech re-cently interviewed three expertsin the field who are currently atMIT.
- Jerome WiesnerInstitute Professor and Pro-
vost of MIT, is a former ScienceAdvisor to President John Ken-nedy, and remains a member ofthe presidential science advisorystaff Prior to this appointment,he was Dean of the School ofScience-.at MIT and Director ofthe Research Laboratory of-Electronics. In 1958, ProfessorWiesver served as Staff Directorof the American Delegation tothe Geneva conference for thePrevention of Surprise Attack.He recently coedited a book,-sponsored by Senator EdwardKennedy, arguing against the de-ployment- of an ABM system.Since 1962, he has held the titleof lnstitute Professor.
Jack RuinaVice President for Special
Laboratories at MIT, has servedas President of the Institute for-Defense Analysis. In 1962, hewas appointed' Director of theAdvanced Research ProjectsAgency of the Department ofDefense. Dr. Ruina serves asTechnical consultant to the De-fense Department, the Depart-ment of Transportation, and theArms Control and DisarmamentAgency of the State Depart-ment. He is a delegate to theannual Paugwsh Nuclear disarm-ament conference.
George RathjensProfessor of Political Science
at MIT, has been a member ofthe staff of the Office of Scienceand Technology at the WhiteHouse. He was a member oftheweapons system evaluationgroup at the Defense Depart-ment. Professor Rathjens servedas Deputy Director of the Ad-vanced Research Projects Agen-
-cy of the Defense Department,and also as Special Assistant tothe Director of Arms Controland Disarmament Agency. From1965 to 1967, he was director ofthe weapons system evaluationdivision of the Institute for De-fense Analysis.The Tech: Has MIRV testingprogressed sufficiently far that itis beyond the point of no return,such that the Russians will nowhave to assume that we havedeployed it, and what effect willthis have on the SALT talks?Wiesner: You can't talk aboutthe Russians any more than youcan talk about the Americans. Itis very obvious that there aretdifferent positions and opinionsamong Russians, just as there arein the United States. I am surethat any objective observer ofMIRV and its testing programwould probably' have to con-clude that it hasn't passed thepoint where it is useful as a firststrike weapon, which is, after all,the thing that one has to worryabout when considering the stra-tegic balance, and probably
won't pass that point for sometime to come. On the otherhand, anyone who wanted totake an extreme position in or-der to defend moving ahead withtheir own things, as often hap-pens here, could argue that it'sgone further than one wouldguess from the testing you knowabout, and that it could betested secretly to finish it. Thereis a whole series of scenarios youcould invent: It could be testedquickly, it can be deployed-quickly. So, I think that one hasto ask not only what are thefacts, and what are the argu-ments that can be made. Andthe facts are that it is certainlynot developed to the point,where its deployment as a firststrike weapon makes any sense.So, it's a question of whetherthe Russians would look at thething objectively or whethersome particular position of theirhawtks would emerge as thestrongest position. Clearly, it hasnot gone to the point where anyobjective observer, seeing thatthey know from seeing and read-ing about it and the tests, wouldhave to conclude that it wasindeed a deployable first strikeweapon.Ruina: I think that the concernis not whether the first genera-tion MIRV system would seri-ously threaten the total destruc-tion of a land based missile forcewithin the next five or ten years,but rather whether one couldn'tmake such undetectable im-provements to a MIRV systemwith time that even with smallyields it couild be a very effectivecounterforce weapon. The issuethat's been raised is, once you'velet this cat out of the bag,whether the steps to make it aneffective counterforce weaponcan be stopped. I think thatthere's general agreement thatthe MIRV we're building now isnot a counterforce weapon, inspite of what...
Ruina: There is another ap-proach to the MIRV problem.The reason -that MIRVs mayescalate the arms race is becausethey, with time, represent athreat to the land-based forcefor deterrence. Perhaps a morereasonable apprach is if a fixedland-based force is becornin gvulnerable, let's not count on itvery much longer and with timewe should eliminate it. I believewe can maintain an adequatedeterrent force without fixedland based missiles. If both weand the Soviet Union. move inthat direction MIRVs don'tmake any difference.The Tech: But aren't there a lotof political problems involvedwith eliminating a 'land-basedmissile force?Ruina: Sure this. will create a lotof political problems. The peo-ple responsible for the land-based force aren't about to saythat it's obsolescing. There's alsoa strong argument for maintain-ing different elements in ournuclear force and -that weshouldn't be putting all of oureggs in one basket. We can'tafford to do that. That's thenature of the debate. My ownconclusion is that in the longrun, we'd be better off byforgettingabout the land-basedforce, and relying more andmore on a submarine force,small in size but advanced incharacter.The Tech: But that.raises thatspectre that a debate similar tothat about MIRV--which is a-bout its destabilizing potential-will crop up in 'about ten tofifteen years when we reach anadvanced state of anti-submarinewarfare (ASW).Rathjens: I disagree. I think thatthis point may come, but I thinkthat the technology is differentin the two eases. It seems to methat in the case of the MIRV vs.the land-based missile it's notjust the MIRV, it's an improve-ment in accuracy too. The com-bination of increased accuracyand multiple warheads meansthat the land-based missile is alosing game. With the submarinesituation, it's just the reverse.The prospects of reducing thenoise level in the submarines,extending the missile range, andmaking other improvements inthe offensive submarine are somuch greater than the prospectsfor great improvements in ASWthat with reasonable technologi-cal effort in both offense anddefense, the lead that the offen-sive submarine has over ASWcapabilities will increase ratherthan diminish.Ruina: There's another part tothis equation: Until now we'vetalked of this fantastic force thatboth we and the Soviets have.What is required for deterrence?If you think in terms of Posei-don, 16 missiles per -boat, 10warheads per missile, that's 160warheads. If each warhead hasthe destructive power of a Hiro-shima bomb, that- makes 160Hiroshimas in one boat. It seemsto me that just one boat is amighty big deterrent. So, ifyou're talking about ASW, thenyou're talking about ASW thatcan wipe out the whole Poseidonforce all at once.Wiesner: You have to consideran ABM.Ruina: When you eliminate theland based force MIRVs reallyaren't dangerous, and in factthey represent a safeguard a-gainst possible ABM develop-ment.Wiesner: But then you might notwant independently. targetedwarheads, you might just wantmultiple warheads.Ruina: Well then you mightwant all kinds of penetrationaids.Wiesner: If you want penetra-
Wiesner: CBW not very useful? Photo by Harold Federow
tiorr aids, then the best penetra-tion aid is a multiple warhead ifyou have to have one.Rathjens: But if you can stopABM, then you don't need one.Wiesner: But, you don't needthat either, and that's why youwant to stop ABM.Rathjens: If you can stop ABM,then in my book, one Polarisboat load is a damn good deter-rent.Wiesner: I used to argue that100 missiles were a mighty gooddeterrent system. I think theystill are. You know-we deterredthe Russians after the first bomb.with 3 twentv kiloton bombs.I'm not sure that they knewthere' were only three, but theymust have known that it was amighty small number, and theydidn't want them on their cities.The Tech: Do I sense a consen-sus that land-based missile forcesare becoming obsolete now?Rathjens: I won't go that far. Ithink that you can have a ban onMIRV that would make theland-based missile force an im-portant part of the deterrent forsome years to come. But, if youdon't get the ban on MIRVs,then land-based missiles will be athing of the past.Wiesner: But even so, it will takesome years.The Tech: At what point shouldthe US begin to woriy about theSoviet Union attempting to gaina first strike capability?Wiesner: If the American forcewas half of what it is, I'd feelpretty secure, especially if it waslargely in the Polaris fleet. Idon't think it would hurt the USto freeze at the present level,even if the Russians continuedto build for a little while. I thinkthat there's so much stability inthe thing that ...The Tech: Then the gap betweenthe ASW capabilities and thesubmarines is large.Wiesner: I think that really ef-fective ASW capabilities are amad dream. I think that beforethe ABM hearings were over, thePentagon got around to admit-ting that they didn't know howto build an .effective ASWsystem, and that it was unlikelythat the Soviet Union would.The Tech: Then in effect, theycan build as many SS-9 missiles
.as they want because at least inthe forseeable future, the Polarisfleet will be an adequate deter-rent.Wiesner: There must be someresidual psychological effect.Ruina: Sure it is, Jerry, in fact,we already hear that what weneed is not only an "assureddestruction" capability but alsowe've got to have the capabilityto do as much destruction as theoppositioh no matter how largethat may be.Rathjens: That's ridiculous.Wiesner: That's ridiculous. But,you will get that argument.Ruina: But, politically,it's goingto be very hard not to have aforce that's almost as large as theSoviet force.Rathjens: But in fact, you'regoing to destroy both societies
completely. There is no exploit-able or useful advantage to ei-ther side if in one case it involveskilling a hundred million peoplewhile on the other the number isfifty million.The Tech: Exactly what wea-pons would be defined as strate-gic weapons and thus come un-der the aegis of the StrategicArms Limitation Talks? WouldCBW be considered strategicweaponry'!Wiesner: I think that neither wenor the Russians ever regardedCBW as an important strategicweapon. There are people whowould claim that they have stra-tegic uses. One of the thingsthose of us who have had towrestle with these problems havealways felt is that they're amuch overrated weapon and itwas a fantastic waste of moneyto be stockpiling them. It's agood weapon for a small nationwho can't afford to do anythingelse, maybe. But it's a veryunreliable weapon. I very recent-ly had a long discussion on CBWwith a government official whowas out trying to convince peo-ple who were pushing govern-ment to stop CBW that theywere wrong. He came and spenthalf a day with me on Martha'sVineyard, and wasted a day ofmy vacation. He kept insistingthat we had to have CBW as adeterrent against Russian CBWand I pointed out that nuclearweapons were as good a deter-rent against CBW as they wereagainst nuclear weapons. He ob-viously had never thought ofthis, which I found hard to,believe. But the idea that ifsomebody fires a biological wea-pon against you, you have to firea biological weapon back, is cra-zy. When you say this to people(that they're not a very goodweapon to start with), theysay: Yeah, but they're importantdeterrents. When you talk themout of that, they say that youhave to study them so that youknow how to protect yourselfagainst them in a limited war.When you say that they're notvery useful even in limited war,they claim that this is one of theways in which you study epi-demological effects in the Uni-ted States. But there's no waythat you can make a very goodcase for them. We tried, when Iwas at the White House, to get aban like the one Nixon justannounced on CBW. We couldnever understand just where allthe opposition came from. Threetimes we proposed that the USsign the Geneva protocols a-gainst CBW, and three times theJoint Chiefs and other support-ers of CBW fought it to a stand-still. And, the State Departmentjoined them.Rathjens: However, the politicalclimite is in favor of banningthem now.The Tech: I don't think it's beenmade obvious. What preciselyare strategic arms?Wiesner: Where do you draw theline? It's a good question. When
{Please turn to page 7}
Ruina: Land-based missilesobsolete? Photo by Harold Federow
Rathjens: It may not have acounterforce capability, but stillit might be perceived as havingthose qualities because the otherfellow doesn't know its capabili-ties. They don't know how ac-curate it will be. They don'tknow how reliable it will be.And, they may believe their ownmissile sites are softer than webelieve them to be. So it mightwell appear to be a potentialcounterforce weapon' But still, Idon't think that even if it's moreaccurate it will present a signifi-cant counter force capability un-less it's tested at great length sothat one may have very highconfidence in its reliability. Thetesting would have to continueeven after it's deployed in orderto maintain that confidence. It'snot too late to stop it if wecontrol the testing. Most peoplewould recognize that neitherside could have an effectivecounterforce capability withoutcontinued testing.The Tech: But as you havepointed out in the past, half ofthe problem is that the otherfellow thinks it will do.

AD HOC STUDENT COMMITTEEFREE DAMASCUS 2
On Friday, August 29th, a TWA plane enroute from Rome toAthens and ultimately to Mel Aviv was hijacked by an Arab manand an Arab woman and ordered to fly to Damascus. Aboardwere 113 passengers and crew, amongst them six Israeli citizens-four women and two men.
Immediately following a hazardous landing at Damascusairport in circumstances of terror and intimidation culminating inthe detonation of the plane by the terrorists, the six Israelis begantheir inevitable ordeal. First they were separated from the rest ofthe passengers and ultimately left behind after the rest of thepassengers were permitted to leave. The women have since beenpermitted to return home. The fate of the men is still not known.
Hijackings are unfortunately a common occurence in a worldreplete with lawlessness. This, however, is a special case for the"host" country is in this instance, one from which to date Israelis
who had the misfortune to stray across' its boundary lines or intoits harbors have returned after years of the most ignoblemistreatment either mentally or bodily, shattered or in roughwooden coffins. As a final irony, 'Syria who has consistentlyviolated international law has been rewarded a seat on the U. N.Security Council.
At the moment of writing, Prof. Shlomo Samueloff and SallahMuallemrn are still being held in Syrian detention camps. TheUnited Nations, various airline associations, T. W. A. and sup-posedly sympathetic governments have failed to secure theirrelease.

Wiesner: If the Soviets were seri-ously interested in an agreement,they might consider them strate-gic. But if I were a European, Iwould not regard them as strate-gic. I would regard them as agood reason for not getting in-volved in a war in the fiast place.Even if it didn't escalate theconflict, the use of tactical nu-clear weapons would wipe outWestern Europe, for you have toassume that the Soviets wouldalso use them. They don't makemuch sense really. I've neverfound a military situation inwhich both sides had tacticalnuclear weapons where it turnedout to somebody's advantage touse them.
Ruinsa: Of course, the argumentis made that somehow the threatof using tactical nuclear weaponsdeters large land wars from start-ing.
Wiesner: Of course, the realthing about tactical nuclear wea-pons is that they are a securityblanket in the 'Peanuts' sense.They make someone feel safer.The number grew always. Every-time we had a crisis, instead of

sending more troops, we'd sendmore tactical nuclear weaponsover, and this quieted everybodydown. Nobody knows what thatlarge number of nuclear weapons_in Europe is for.
The Tech: Is the retreat frommandatory on-sight inspectionof weapons an acceptable nucle-ar limitation agreement by theNixon administration due to bet-ter satellite inspection?
Wiesner: It depends on the typeof agreement you're talking a-bout. In the case of undergroundnuclear testing, it's a combina-tion of real improvements inseismic detection, and a betterunderstanding of the problem,.and a willingness to understandthat there is so little you cangain. from clandestine nucleartests that it's inconceivable thatanyone would carry them out.To do any serious weapons de-velopment would require an ex-tensive test series which wouldalmost certainly be detected. Anation that felt its security de-pended upon weapons testswould do what the Russians didin 1961, announce that theirsecurity required tlesting.
Rathiens: I don't think that theAdministration has faced up tothe test ban question, but whatthey have done is face up to therealization that there are sometypes of agreements that can benegotiated without on-site in-spection. I anticipate that ourposition toward the SALT talksis that this is the only kind ofagreement you're going to get.
Ruina: I believe that the previ-ous administration didn't gethung-up on the area of on-siteinspection. President Johnsonproposed a freeze and never as-sociated on-site inspection withit. And, secondly, a speech thatwasn't noticed, but was terriblyimportant was made by an Assis-tant Secretary of Defense in thelast administration namedWarnke which talked about uni-lateral capabilities that, weresuch that, even without on-siteinspection, we could have mean-ingful settlements with the Sovi-ets. However, the issue of con-trols is not black-and-white, for
cate the issue.Ruina: Some of these problemswere discussed with the Sovietscientists recently. They'd-say:Well, what about your nuclearforces in Europe, and we'd say:What about your medium-rangemissiles. They'd remind us thattheir medium-range nuclear wea-pqns could strike at the SovietUnion itself.Wiesner: But in the end, at leastthe way we used to handle it wasto include all the medium-rangeweapons in Europe and then thebalance isn't so asymmetrical.
Rathjers: I think that this is oneof the things that the Adminis-tration neglected to consider inthe ABM debate. Some of theweapons that we consider to betactical may look strategic to theSoviets. Some of the tacticalaircraft in Europe could deliver adevastating attack against theSoviet Union, although that'snot their primary mission.
The Tech: According to theWashington Post, NATO plan-ners have again decided to resista large conventional Soviet at-tack through the immediate useof tactical nuclear weapons.Would the Soviets consider suchuse to be strategic? Wouldn't

controls may take many forms.
The Tech: Do I understand cor-
rectly that if MIT stopped workimmediately on the MIRV thatthis would have virtually no ef-fect upon the rate of deploy-ment?
Ruina: I believe that, right now,
the program is already in thedeployment phase, and that no
matter what we do, the coun-
try's program would continue at
the same pace with or withoutthe I-Labs continued involve-
ment. In that case, you cannaturally ask the question: If it
doesn't make any difference,why are we still involved? For
the first version of the guidancesystem our continued involve-ment relates to modifying de-
signs to make things more reli-able or easier to maintain. But
that only speaks for the details
of performance, and not whe-
ther deployment would be de-layed. The feasibility of the
system is already proven. There's
no question that the system asdesigned is technically feasible.
The Tech: Would the awardingof a contract to General Electricfor the first 68 MIRVed war-heads indicate that the MlRV is
practically operational in a final-ized form?
Ruina: I have read newspaper
reports that there are submarinesalready starting retrofit for Po-seidon.

iii. clubs. The exact number of clubs is unclear as some clubs . are regarded as "inactive", which means that a representa- :.'-
..i...i tire from the club has not contacted the athletic depart-. ment this vear.
.. Participation within the clubs varies. The rugby team, ::ii... iii.. with over 100 members, is MIT's most active club, fielding ..*::i three 'teams under its.president, graduate student Charles
Finn. The team competes in both the fall and spring.. seasons, and even engages in a southern trip, competing
ii:i.i against the various clubs in the New England Rugby ..i.i.ii. Football Union. This fall the "Red Team" was 7-1. MIT's .i.. -second most popular club is the Judo Club. It is under the .
direction of Harry Yanagai, a fifth degree black belt. i.. :Forming a club consists of getting enough people to
.... show interest in a particular activity. The athletic depart- iiiiiment will sponsor any club, provided that the department is
... convinced the activity is worthwhile and not dangerous. i.::... For this reason the department has been against the ...::iii formation of a boxing club here on campus. Generally the
. clubs provide an outlet for many grad students, who form iii,. the majority of most of the clubs. They constitute a *' monopoly on the grad crew club and the grad soccer club. i
....ii MIT will generally provide facilities for the club, and in iiiiii some cases the athletic department will go so far as to pay iiiiiiii
.> for uniforms, equipment, and a conch's salary. The "'iiiiiiii southern trip of the rugby team is partially sponsored by::i: MIT.
Clubs fall into two distinct categories - competitive and *:ii non-competitive. The grad soccer club, for example, has its
own league, composed strictly of MIT grad students, iiiiii.i.. usually grouped by departments. The rugby team, as
mentioned, competes with many other rugby clubs, as does... the judo club, the water polo club, and the cnricket club.
: If enough interest is shown in a club, it could conceiv-::i ably become an intercollegiate sport. Such was the case i'
iiiiiiii with the gymnastic club which turned intercollegiate threeiiiiii years ago. One of the problems the club faced was finding .
X'ii enough competition on a varsity level. The team currently : engages in about eight matches per year under the guidance

Should Wilson fail Barry willcall on 6-10 Dave Miller, whohas shown enough promiseduring the training season toseriously challenge Wilson for astarting roler It is notinconceivable for MIT to playboth men at the same time,should the proper situation arise.
Last year a guy named HaroldBrown studied at the Universityof Missouri at Roloa. Hewondered if his transferapplication to MIT would beaccepted. It was, and the
six-foot three inch sophomore iscurrently a starting forward forthis year's varsity. At the otherforward post is Rich Lefebvrreone of the eight returninglettermen on Tech's eighteenman squad. Rich was a starter onlast year's 6-15 team, and heaveraged 7.4 points and threerebounds per game.
The story of last year's teamwas an undersized guard namedMinot Cleveland. He led theEngineers in seven offensivedepartments while setting anall-time MIT free throw mark of.880. Minor's back this year andwill be-joined in the backcourtby his roomate and this yearscaptain Bruce Wheeler. Wheeler,a starter two years ago, spentlast year at Princeton.. It looks as though CoachBarry will finally understand themeaning of the word "depth", asthis year's squad has talent onthe bench. Working almostinterchangeably with- Wheelerand Cleveland will be SteveChamberlain and Jimmy Shields.
