® To encourage students to bemore reflective about the socialimplications of individual action,and to promote discussion ofother personal issues.
"Few members of the [MIT]community" Low said, "woulddispute the importance of thegeneral notion of the need forgreater awareness and under-standing [of the context in whichscience and engineeringoperates]."
The role of non-scientific edu-cation within the framework oifthe scientific curriculum present-ed at MIT - a paradox virtuallysince MIT's inception - has beenan extremely difficult one for theInstitute to determine. Many
committees have been convenedto study this role.
Most recently, changes in theHumanities, Arts and Social Sci-ence (HASS) structure were in-troduced in an effort to provide abroader education to the MITstudent.
Asked how the context pro-gram experiment differed fromprevious efforts, Richardson saidthat the program's goal not onlyof broadening the students' edu-cation, but also of bringing to-gether faculty from different dis-ciplines, was particularlyimportant.
Richardson said that she hadnever seen so much interactionbetween faculty members fromdifferent departments as has beenoccurring recently.
Implementing program
The immediate problem facingLow's group is the developmentof an effective mode of imple-menting the context idea.
"Clearly the awareness andsome understanding of the con-text - political, ethical, econom-ic, environmental, et cetera - inwhich science and technology iscarried out," Low said, "shouldbe a major dimension of a sci-ence and engineering education."
"MIT owes its students a seri-ous efforts to provide them withthis opportunity to achieve thatawareness and understanding,"Low continued.
Providing that opportunity hasbeen difficult. Enrollment inthree of the four context coursesoffered this term has been disap-pointingly low, according toRichardson.
The low figures - only two tosix students enrolled in each ofthe three courses, "Life and In-stitutions of Science," "Automrna-tion, Robotics and Unemploy-ment," and "Negotiations inEngineering Systems" - may bea result of the fact that the sub-jects were offered only for unre-stricted elective credit or of thelecture nature of the courses,Richardson said.
Richardson noted that theworking group was not limitingto formal lectures its conceptionof formats for the context pro-gram. Presentation of the contextprogram may involve efforts likethe recent "How to Be Good"colloquium, which brought to-gether students and faculty for apanel discussion of ethics, or lessformal, seminar-type programs.
By far the most successful, andbest-advertised among the gener-al MIT community, of this term'scontext subjects was the six-unitcourse titled "AIDS: ScientificChallenge and HumanChallenge."
Richardson estimated that 55to 60 students enrolled :n thecourse, which consists of a ,eriesof lectures by a variety of exp.rtsin many fields, including non-sc!-entific ones.
Objectives
The objectives of the Contextprogram, outlined in a brochuredistributed to students in May bythe 'ur, are;
e To underscore the common-alities linking the study of scienceand engineering with otherbranches of knowledge;
0 To increase understandingof non-scientific and non-techno-

made. This includes installationof occupancy sensors. The deviceuses infra-red light to scan thearea for any body heat, and aftertwelve minutes, will shut off anyremaining lights. These have beeninstalled at the squash courts atBuilding W32. More have been,and will be, placed in labs, of-fices, and classrooms throughoutthe campus.
® MIT will receive a 6.28¢ perkW refund for the next five yearsfor any fixtures installed with aneconomy life of fifteen years ormore. This includes the heat ex-change units installed in Building
E40. These devices sense the tem-perature outside the building andthen adjust the airflow accord-ingly. If the outside temperaturesuddenly warms up, the heat ex-change unit will shift to blowcool air within the building.
All this work, however, resultsin little or no expense to MIT, ex-cept for some administrativecosts, according to Kilmarx. Therebates from Cambridge Electricwill go in part to the consultingcompanies, who will in turn paytheir subcontractors. Kilmarxforesees that the total amount ofelectricity saved will be 14 millionkW.

Novembrr...The November chill has finally arrived. After a
few weeks of relatively mild temperatures,yesterday's blustery winds and chilly temperatureswere reminders of the late autumn and winterweather that is ahead. It appears as if this week'sweather in New England will be characterized bybelow-normal temperatures and dry conditions.
Across the country, the weather will be relativelyquiet with the exception of showers in the PacificNorthwest and rains in the southeastern Gulf andAtlantic states. The rains in the southeast will beassociated with the late season tropical cycloneKeith. Late Thursday afternoon Keith was atropical storm with 65 mph winds drifting to thenorth in the central Gulf of Mexico. Keith isexpected to cross over the Florida peninsula laterthis week.

Nixon defends QuayleFormer President Richard Nixon says that Dan Quayle
is getting a burn rap. Quayle met with the former presi-dent yesterday at Quayle's transition office. Afterwards,at an impromptu news conference, Nixon claimed thatthere is no basis for media portrayals of the Vice Presi-dent-elect as an "intellectual midget." Nixon described theIndiana Senator as "highly intelligent" and predicted hewill be an excellent Vice President.
INon-candidate wins electionDonald Ullomn, a television reporter in West Virginia,
said he was flattered to find that he was elected OhioCounty surveyor. The catch - Ullom wasn't running foroffice. Somehow he received more write-in votes than anyother candidate. Ullom said he does not intend to take upthe new job.
Canada's elections todayIf network projects hold up, Brian Mulroney will con-
tinue as Canada's prime minister. The Canadian Broad-casting Corporation was predicting late last night thatMulroney and his Conservative Party would retain a par-liamentary majority in yesterday's voting. Victory forMulroney also means victory for a US-Canadian freetrade agreement. Opponents in Canada said the deal wasa one-way street favoring the United States.
The two nations are each other's largest trading part-ners, with $150 billion worth of goods crossing the borderevery year. The trade agreement, which has been ap-proved by Congress, would eliminate all tariffs betweenCanada and the United States.
Israel parliament off to rocky startisrael's new parliament got off to a rocky start yester-
day. Fifteen members initially balked at being sworn in bya representative of the extreme right, while demonstra-tions outside protested the demands of ultra-orthodox re-ligious parties. The heated exchanges took place whilePrime Minister Yitzhak Shamir continued to seek a broadcoalition government that included the rival Labor Party.But Labor leader Shimon Peres was quoted as saying hisparty is "heading for the opposition benches."
Judge refuses to drop chargeagainst Iran-contra defendants
Federal District Court Justice Gerhard Gesell said-charges against the four Iran-contra defendants, includingOliver North, are basically those of fraud, and it is thekind of fraud case that fits Supreme Court definitions ofconspiracy. That, he concluded, is how the case will betried. Gesell spoke during a hearing on a defense motionto have the central conspiracy case dismissed. The defen-dants are accused in the sale of US arms to Iran and thediversion of profits to the contras.
Gesell also ruled that North cannot invoke presidentialpower as a shield for his role in the affair. The justiceruled that North was only an employee of the President- and has no right to speak for the President. Gesell alsowants President Reagan to decide whether he will pardonNorth or allow the former lieutenant colonel to stand trialand risk the disclosure of national security secrets. Thejudge said he will have very little control over the testimo-ny once the trial started.
Bush continues to fill out CabinetGeorge Bush has named one of his commanders in the
war on the federal budget deficit. He picked Richard Dar-man to head the Office of Management and the Budget.Darman has been a White House aide and a deputy Trea-sury secretary; both he and Bush have vowed not to raisetaxes to reduce the budget deficit. Bush said he has notbeen swayed by a General Accounting Office report thatcalled for tax increases as well as military and Social Se-curity cuts.
Bush also tabbed two more members of Reagan's Cabi-net to stay on - Attorney General Richard Thornburghand Secretary of Education Lauro Cavazos. Previously,Bush asked Nicholas Brady to stay on as Treasury secre-tary. Bush said those three would probably be the onlyReagan holdovers in his cabinet.
American Jewishlheaders are suggesting that Bush ap-point a Jew or other strong supporter of Israel to a toppost in his administration. The appointment of John Sun-unu '61 - an Arab-American - as chief-of-staff is caus-ing concern among Jewish groups. One Jewish leader sayshe's concerned that there's never been an Arab-Americanas "gatekeeper to the President."
Ex-presidents recommend tax hikesThe President-elect got some advice yesterday on cut-
ting the deficit from former Presidents Jimmy Carter andGerald Ford. They are among the prominent Americanswho worked on a report recommending non-income taxesand cutting spending be used to reduce the deficit by $40billion each year.Reagan library construction to begin

Officials said 43-year-old Peter Rossmanwas arrested at his home on a charge of drug trafficking.Police confiscated a total of 275 pounds of marijuanaworth an estimated $300,000 dollars. Essex County Dis-trict Attorney Kevin Burke said Rossman was arrested af-ter a drug task force and Gloucester police watched sixboxes of the drug delivered to his home. Burke said theEmery Air Freight Company told the District Attorney'soffice about the shipment. The company's drug-sniffingdogs had detected the marijuana, but the company agreedto proceed with the delivery so a suspect could be appre-hended.

IRecently, Boston's architects
have publicly displayed just howfar removed they are from theeconomic, social, and politicalrealities of the city of Boston.Amidst much fanfare and flow-ing champagne, the Boston Soci-ety of Architects awarded$50,000 in prizes to 12 designteams for their efforts in theBSA's "Boston Visions Competi-tion." Not one of those entriesdirectly addressed the issue moresober thinkers consider the mostimportant issue facing Boston'sfuture: availability of affordablehousing.
Though the competition's ownliterature identified lack of af-fordable housing as an issue,stating: "The most important ca-sualty of growth is affordablehousing...", the jurors appar-ently decided there were morepressing concerns. Amnong the195 entries there were a few thatdealt directly with the urgentneed for affordable housing, butthe jury, chaired by MIT's Deanof the School of Architecture andPlanning Jean de Monchaux,chose entries more notable fortheir dramatic imagery than theirsocial vision.
The winning entries includedan extension of Boylston Street,with gorgeous greenways, ritzyoffice space and luxury housing;an idea to relocate the Instituteof Contemporary Art into Dry-dock 3; the transformation ofpieces of the artery into giantsculptures and monuments, a 100year plan to relocate Logan air-port and replace it with a newresidential community (providinghousing that, if financially feasi-bie, would not be available fordecades and that was not speci-fied as "affordable"), and theconstruction of an enormous

dam surrounding Boston to protect us from the melting of thepolar ice-caps. Second place winners included an idea by twoMIT students to utilize Boston'waterways for urban transporusing "water-buses," anotheMIT entry applied futuristic concepts of the "information city- toBoston's Washington Street corridor (neglecting to mention thecomplex socio-political dynamicof the area or current neighborhood demands for affordablehousing and small-business opportunities along the corridor)and there was an idea to convertold smokestacks into multi-storyresearch centers for alternativeenergy.
The chosen winners present in-teresting ideas, perhaps, butideas more appropriate on thewhole for discussion in a secondyear design studio than for seri-ous thinking about the future ofa city in the midst of a majorhousing crisis. The reality of Bos-ton's estimated 3300 to 8000homeless, the 16,000 families onthe Boston Housing Authoritieswaiting list for affordable hous-ing, Boston's rapidly growingpoverty rate (16 percent in 1970to a projected 23 percent in1990), the fact that 18,000 newhouseholds- were started in Bos-ton between 1973 and 1985 whileonly 8000 new housing units wereproduced, and the annual 2NOunit deficit in housing productionversus housing demand all pointto a very real and growing crisisin housing in the city of Bostonthat not one of the winning en-tries directly confronted. Thesestatistics were part of the compe-tition's publication entitled "ACivic Design Agenda" which wassent to all the entrants and pre-sumably to the jurors.
Charles A. Redmon, FAIA,Chairman of the Boston Visions
Steering Commitee, in a letter tothe "Boston Visions' Competi-tors, stated: "Although this is an'ideas' competition, this is not anacademic exercise - there arereal, unfulfilled opportunities inBoston and a need to add cre-ative ideas for wide public discus-sion." Clearly, though not men-tioned by Mr. Redmon, the mostpressing "real, unfulfilled" op-portunity is the unfulfilled op-portunity for thousands of Bos-ton's lower-income citizens tohave a place to live.
In this city, according to MITProfessor of Urban PlanningPhilip Clay, 'the current averageprice for a home is $170,000 plusclosing costs, for which mostpeople aren't even able to savethe 20 percent down payment-"

ing over three continents, theonly muslim member of NATO,and a country striving to mod-ernize itself and to maintain ahigh growth rate, Turkey is on itsown in a difficult position. Be-fore attacking Turkey on the al-leged injustice of the militarygovernment during 1980-1983, itis only fair to review the circum-stances prevailing before the mili-tary takeover. The extreme left-ists, supported by the SovietUnion, were engaged in a streetfight against the extreme right-ists, fueled by Islamic fundamen-talist countries. The police wasnot doing a very good job incurbing the fight, and hundredswere being killed every day, someof them terrorists themselves, buta lot of them innocent people. Inshort, Turkey was truly headedfor an internal war.
Now Amnesty International isvery concerned about prisoner'srights during the period 1980-1983. Why is it so indifferent tothe rights of the victims of clash-es between 1975-80? Why does itignore the fact that most Turkishcitizens (except for the terrorists,of course) were quite relieved by
the military takeover, whichbrought an end to the killings-and subsequently an end to itself,through a fair election whichbrought to office a party otherthan the one endorsed by thegenerals. Contrary to Azizoglu'sopinion, I believe that the darkpage in Turkish history is the1975-1980 period, when terroristswere killing each other (and oth-ers) on the streets, not the period1980-1983, when they were beingput in jail.
I respect Amnesty Internation-al's causes, but I do believe thatit should review the facts morecarefully before revealing thedata on it social experiments. Ialso respect Azizoglu's opinion,but before claiming that hespeaks for the majority of theTurkish people, he could havemade the effort of attending atalk that was aimed at evaluating"the level of humanity" in his na-tion. It is easy to subscribe as anintellectual who readily applaudsthe criticisms of outsiders. Whattakes guts is to stand up for yourcountry and your people, even atthe face of difficult times andharsh criticisms.

To the Editor:The poster advertising Lois
Whitman's talk titled "HumanRights in Turkey" claimed that itis illegal to share religious booksin Turkey. Now this is most cer-tainly not true, and there is noexcuse for presenting false infor-mation, not even for the noblecause of establishing a universalstandard of what is right andwhat is wrong. Let us get thefacts straight: it is not forbiddento share religious books in Tur-key. What is forbidden is to con-spire to overthrow the govern-ment or to bring the demise ofthe Turkish state, through anti-secular propaganda or throughother means.
I am sure that Murat Azizogluwrote his letter ['Turkey worksto end right abuses," Nov. 18]with a good intent, yet I do notunderstand how he can be so pre-sumptuous as to claim that hisviews are representative of themajority of the Turkish people. Ialso do not understand how hefeels comfortable with himself"engraving in [his) heart" thename of a person (Richard Koch)who posted flyers all over theMIT campus defaming his na-tion, not even truthfully.
Many of the arguments pre-sented by Whitman during hertalk were quite ludicrous. For ex-ample, she criticized the Turkishconstitution for forbidding thedefamation of the president. It isimportant to realize that the chiefexecutive of Turkey is the primeminister, not the president; thepresident is more or less a symbolof the state. Having read Turkishnewspapers quite frequently inthe last couple of years, I hardlyremember a front page withoutan article or a comic ridiculingMr. Ozal, the prime minister.
Whitman also criticized Tur-key's government-owned institu-tions for not placing their adver-tisements in publications thatwere openly against the govern-ment. Now if Whitman promotesturning your other cheek after re-ceiving a slap, the Turkish gov-ernment will not follow. But thisis not the issue. I concede thatAmnesty International's ideal ofprotecting human rights is a goodcause in principle. What is notacceptable to me is creating ahostile atmosphere through of-fensive flyers and evaluating hu-man rights in a country withoutstudying its recent history or un-derstanding its culture.
Unfortunately, there are a lotof people who are very happy tosee Turkey defamed. As the heirof a six century old empire reign-
To the Editor:The full-page photo essay of

To the Editor:I was in the audience at the
talk by Lois Whitman titled "Hu-man Rights in Turkey." I wasgreatly disturbed, not so much bythe discussion of human rights inTurkey, but especially by the con-tents of the posters which wereused to publicize the event. Thereare considerable errors both onthe posters and in the letter ofRichard Koch's ["AI does not at-tack dignity of Turkish people,"
Minoritiesdon't need toprove equalityTo the Editor:
I am writing to express myviews on portions of the letter byArthur Hu ["All groups at MITcannot be represented equally,"Nov. 15]. Firstly, Hu's commentabout the desire of blacks toachieve better representation atMIT said, "... how can theyclaim to have racial equalitywhen only one-third of blacksgraduate?" Well, I should likeHu to know that we do not mere-ly claim to be equal- we areequal. Primitive attitudes such aswere conveyed in his letter iswhat undermines this fact.
Those of you who feel threat-ened by the efforts to improvethe representation of blacks (andother minorities) should realizethat many of us did not comefrom backgrounds of clear cutopportunities, with parents-whohave experienced the professionalworld. Many are from families oflaborers and are first generationcollege attendees. Some are notfrom upper Manhattan or evensunny-side suburbia, but fromthe depths of inner cities such asDetroit, Los Angeles, and Har-lem. These people have defied allodds by just making it to MIT.
After getting here, some of usnot only have to worry about vig-orous school work, but alsoabout not being accepted by ourpeers, and being told that wedon't belong here by some pro-fessors. I don't doubt the capa-bilities of most blacks being ad-mitted here, but when we have toput up with such psychologicalgarbage, some are not able tocope.
So why don't blacks just workextra hard to prove that thesepeople are wrong? Well the pointis, we should not have to proveour equality. Instead, those whoare disturbed by the changeshould try to put away their fear,open up their minds, and allowthemselves to grow with thechange.
I am not saying that this dis-crimination is the sole reason forsome who don't make it throughMIT. Some blacks may feel thatMIT is not academically suited to
thei r intere-ste. Ths nproblem ,however, is not unique to blacks.
Finally, about Hu's statement,". .. racial goals which approachnational proportions will notyield equitable racial propor-tions. And even if they did, mere-ly increasing the number of mi-norities, will not, and cannot byitself solve the problems of rac-ism on campus." I agree that justincreasing numbers alone will nothelp. But printing such whiningattitudes that Hu presents won'teither. Yes Hu, we are equal; butuntil those of you who hold thesefears accept this fact completely,we won't be able to grasp thisconcept in its totality.
Carlonda L. Russell '90
Nov. 15] which, I think, shouldbe clarified.
The comment on the posterthat "It is illegal in Turkey toshare religious books" is abso-lutely false. The idea of not beingpermitted to share religiousbooks in Turkey is so preposter-ous that it does not even occur toanyone living in Turkey.
Furthermore, it is not illegal touse Kurdish in Turkey either.Government officials are requiredto use only Turkish, simply be-cause the only official languageof Turkey is Turkish. However,in predominantly Kurdish areasof Turkey, the use of Kurdish isvery common. In contrast, thereare many complaints by theTurkish residents of those areasthat they are often denied ser-vices by the Government officialsof Kurdish heritage, simply be-cause they cannot speak Kurdish.
Contrary to Koch's statementthat "a 1983 law proscribed pub-lications in languages other thanTurkish," currently there aremany daily and weekly publica-tions in Istanbul alone, in lan-guages other than Turkish such
as Greek and English.Koch also makes a grave error
when he states that a father wasforced to change his children'sKurdish names by the TurkishGovernment. This statement doesnot make sense, since almost allKurds bear Moslem names whichare also used by Turks.
The record of Turkey on thetreatment of its Kurdish minorityhas been remarkable. Currently,many members of the Turkishparliament are of Kurdish heri-tage. Only last month Turkey of-fered the Kurdish refugees fleeingthe Iraqi regime medical assis-tance, food, and the right to set-tle in Turkey if they wished. Thisis not to say that human rightabuses are non-existent in Tur-key. On the contrary, the effortsof the Amnesty International toend the human rights violationsaround the world are well appre-ciated. However, I believe that itsmembers have a duty to avoid er-roneous and second-hand infor-mation when presenting theircases.

To the Editor:The letter ["Greeks face double
standard," Nov. 14] by HowardZolla brings up many interestingquestions about the role of theGreek system on campus. Yet thepicture he paints of the Greeksystem is not a complete one andhence his presentation of the"fraternity-bashing" problem isnot complete.
I agree that there is a doublestandard facing Greeks and non-Greeks with respect to-practicaljokes and/or hazing. The factthat no disciplinary action was
taken against those responsiblefor the chaining of the keg to aperson is very indicative of thisdouble standard, as Zolla pointsout. Fraternities face very strictlaws and regulations that appar-ently do not apply to the non-Greeks on campus. This grosslynegligent action on the part of adorm should be reprimanded,just as any fraternity would havebeen.
Yet the reason Greeks are un-der so much regulation that isnot applicable to those not in theGreek system is due to a long his-

(Continued from page 4)In this state, according to theMassachusetts Coalition for theHomeless, there are between12,000 and 15,000 homeless, 40percent of whom are families,and in this nation there are threeto four million homeless people.By the year 2000, according to arecent MIT study there will bemore than 19 million Americanshomeless unless current produc-tion of affordable housing is dra-matically increased. Serious pro-fessionals in the business ofbuilding have got to wake up anddo something to change this situ-ation now.
Perhaps the architects involvedin the competition feel that ourprofession has little to do withthe housing crisis. Perhaps theyfeel affordable housing is an is-sue for politicians to deal with.Such thinking is worse than acop-out; it is a convenient lie.Architects and developers are notinnocent bystanders to the crimeof homelessness in America, theyare among its many perpetrators.
They have played leading rolesin the devastation of the afford-able housing stock: "designingand developing" their waythrough Boston's neighborhoodsin an endless and profitable seriesof forced condo-izations and
bulldozings of low-income dwell-ings. Ten years ago the city ofBoston had over 20,000 roominghouse units, once the home ofmany of today's homeless; todaywe're left with 2000. Tens ofthousands of low-income family-size, rental :units have, also been
lost to urban renewal andgentrification.
While Boston's "liberal" archi-tects cry about Reagan's massivecuts in spending on housing, theydon't hesitate to fatten their wal-lets with design contracts forhuge office developments for"high-tech" military contractorsfinanced by Reagan's enormousmilitary build-up. Nor do theyspend much time, money or ef-fort lobbying Congress to pass adecent affordable housing bill.
The Boston Visions Competi-tion revealed a lack of willingnesson the part of the Boston Societyof Architects, the jurors andmany of the participants to facethe reality of the affordablehousing crisis. Imagine if a na-tional medical competition werecalled to brainstorm ideas for thefuture of medicine in Boston andnot one of the winning entriesaddressed the AIDS crisis. Therewould be an immediate nationaloutcry condemning the physi-cians of Boston for ignoring themedical issue facing us in theforeseeable future.
Well, the growing lack of af-fordable housing in the city andin the nation is the single mostimportant issue facing architects,planners, and builders in the fu-ture and a "vision" that ignoresthat issue should be condemnedas narrow, self-interested, myo-pic, and not worthy of the pro-fession of architecture.

The most visible AmericanPOWs today are the minds ofyoung men and women wearingmilitary fatigues on MIT's cam-pus. It's pathetic to think of thenext place they'll die to enforceAmerican hegemony. It is de-spairing to consider today's cam-pus mental-scape that supportsthe US war lunacy.

(Continued from page 1)whether their goal was to over-throw the Sandinitas or simplystop the export of their revolu-tion. On the other hand, covertsupport of the Afghan rebels waslegitimate, as the administrationwas willing to publicly defendthem.
Also, Godson said the meansof covert action must be "consis-tent with American values." Thismaxim would prohibit assassina-tions, disinformation aimed atthe public, or the arms for hos-tages deal, Godson said. Godsonadded that covert action shouldnot be the sole means to achievegovernment objectives, but mustbe used in conjunction with otherforeign policy tools.
Two other justifications for co-vert actions are "where it willsave the lives of Americans" (i.e.foiling terrorists) and "wherenon-democratic regimes are abus-ing human rights," Godson said.For example, Godson said itwould have been legitimate to usecovert action against Nazi Ger-many, or to use it against modernday Afghanistan or South Africa.
Godson said the way to imple-ment these maxims is by educat-ing agents of the intelligencecommunity. He conceded that itwould take some time for theagencies to be indoctrinated with
these principles, but asserted thatin the long run covert actionwould be able to be implementedwithout the abuses of the past. Inaddition, he believed that therewere enough checks on the ad-ministration to ensure thatabuses to not occur.
Halperin, on the other hand,said he was concerned not onlywith the failures of covert actionsbut also with its "successes,"which he said "have done moreto harm the free world." Hal-perin asserted that "the people ofChile right now are paying theprice for our .covert operations."He pointed out that the ChurchCommittee in the Senate, evenafter looking at the successes ofcovert action, "concluded that[it] had not significantly ad-vanced the foreign policy of theUnited States."
Covert action is a "threat tothe basic constitutional system ofgovernment," Halperin said. "Ifyou allow government to engagein activities without acknowledg-ing them there is no accountabil-ity," he said. Without open de-bate, the public has no voice inforeign policy decisions.
In the case of the arms-for-hostages deal, "the Americanpeople were entitled to know thatthe administration claimed onone hand to be publicly advocat-
Also, "covert action inevitablyleads to lying," he said. In orderto keep covert acts secret govern-ment agents inevitably lie to theAmerican people, then to Con-gress, and finally to others in theexecutive branch.
Halperin pointed out that for-mer National Security AdvisorRobert McFarlane testified thatsupport for the Nicaraguan con-tras was kept covert because po-litical operatives did not believeCongress would authorize theaction.
Halperin argued that if actionsmet Godson's criteria, therewould be little need for them tobe covert. He called for open de-bate and Congressional authori-zation of covert actions whichwould not necessarily have to de-tail specific operations but wouldreveal their general nature.
Halperin believed this wouldpermit legitimate paramilitaryoperations, which are certainlynot kept secret from their intend-ed targets. And while the UnitedStates might not be able to givesome foreign groups political aidunder his system, Halperin ar-gued that the United Statesshould not be influencing foreignelections in any event.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCEMIT Gilbert & Sullivan Players,Conducted by Steven McDonald,Stage Direction byv Marion Leeds Carroll.Reviewed November 20.
The maidens played their roles most ful-somely, masterfully combining the inno-cence of Shirley Temple outtakes with theimpetuousness of wanton children. Theencounter between Frederick (played byArthur Fuscaldo H) and Mabel (Jan Eliza-beth Norvelle) was a stirring one. Theweather forecast, as well as other passagesthroughout the play, were too rapid forthese lethargic ears, but I know of no an-chorman who could have done as well.
What can one say of the Major-General(Steven J. Rapaport '87)? Since he wearsshining crimson and looks dashing in it,verily, with decorations from the shores ofTripoli to Galilee, he played his role withall of the respect one owes to royalty butwith the sensitivity to complement hisloyalty.
In the beginning of Act II, we saw pre-marital jitters in their finest form. Freder-ick's escorts acted with the coordinatedchaos of the Keystone Kops, and form atitillating mixture of conviction andcowardice.
Though the show itself is slightly morethan a century old, it is still a vibrant one,as anyone must be who would do it jus-tice. Overall, this fledgling troupe gave asadmirable a performance as any I've seenin a fair number of days.
By OMAR A.RICHARDSON-SUTHERLAND
WHAT HAPPENS when a musi-cian and lyricist collaborateto create a musical whichW ~ ~takes an adventure on the
high seas and tempers it with a Shake-spearean romance, a young apprentice'sdevotion to duty, and a spirit of recklessabandon? Why, none other than the in-comparable Pirates of Penzance, ofcourse!
All the parts in this production by theMIT Gilbert and Sullivan Players wereplayed with the utmost conviction, and ateddy bear lent a refreshing childishness tothe annoyingly impeccable maturity ofFrederick and his nurse, Ruth (Carrie Naf-ziger C). All the theatergoers could appre-ciate the inherent humor in the roles, espe-cially those familiar with the all-pervasivemorality found in the Batman series char-acters. The parallel was there, The orches-tra occasionally drowned out the libretto,but the parts were well-sung all the same.

FISHERMAN'S BLUESThe Waterboys.Chrysalis Records.
FTER AN ALMOST THREE YEARdisappearance from the musicscreen, The Waterboys re-emerge with the release of the
fourth album, Fisherman's Blues. Water-boys Mike Scott, Anthony Thistlethwaite,and Steve Wickham have come out of hid-ing with a solid album that mixes rockmusic with unusual acoustic and wind in-struments. This latest release reestablishesThe Waterboys as the most creative of to-day's European rock artists.
The Waterboys' unique sound comesfrom blending the typical electric guitarsound with instruments like congas, bou-zoukis, fuzz mandolins, violins, flutes,and border horns. Lead Waterboy Scottuses these instruments to produce a sounddifferent from that of any other group. Heis not afraid to put a fiddle solo in a placewhere others would put an electric guitar.
As a lyricist, Mike Scott is no less cre-ative than he is as a musician. He uses de-scription and imagery in his songs that israrely seen in song writers today. And byproducing The Waterboys' albums himself,Scott insures that his music and lyricsblend perfectly to create the effect hedesires on each song.
The Waterboys' previous three albumshave brought them critical acclaim on bothsides of the Atlantic. But they have yet toreceive wide acceptance from the Ameri-can audience. Hopefully, Fisherman'sBlues will be the album that gives them therecognition they deserve as one of the bestrock groups recording today.

RANDOM ABSTRACTBranford Marsalis.Columbia Records.
ANDOM ABSTRACT is a fine re-cording by Branford Marsalis.After touring with Sting thispast year, Random Abstract al-
lows Marsalis to return to a purer jazzsensibility. It also allows Branford toemerge from the the shadow of his morefamous and flashier brother Wynton. Mu-sically, the two brothers are pursuing dif-ferent directions, so Wynton's shadow isoften more imagined than real. Nonethe-less, this album provides Branford the op-portunity to establish without confusionhis own musical and professional identity.
While previous albums displayed accu-rate renditions of covers, and paid respectto his influences, Random Abstract givesus Branford asserting his own style whilestill acknowledging the influences on hissound. His saxophone has lyrical, precisevoice; there is no slop in his phrasing or inthe arrangement of his tunes. Branfordplays a number of cover tunes as well asoriginal material, but always as his readingof the composition. One of the finest cutsis "Yes and No." A piece written by WayneShorter, it is a wonderful example of Bran-ford playing on his own terms, and the di-rect-to-master production yields a techni-cally clean and un-hampered sound.
The supporting band members KeenyKirkland on piano, Delbert Felix on acous-tic bass, and Louis Nash on drums excel intheir accompaniment and round out a firstrate jazz band. Their presence on othertunes like "Crescent City" and "LonelyWoman" demonstrate the band's abilityand points to a promising future, especial-ly for Branford Marsalis.
ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHODreams so Real.Arista Records.
VERY ONCE IN A WHILE an albumwill appear that demands to beheard multiple times at one sit-ting. Rough Nighf in Jericho, the
first major release by Dreams So Real, isone of those rare finds. The trio fromAthens, GA, combines solid lyrics andpounding vocals with excellent '70s-styleguitar rock to create one of the finestsounds I've heard in quite a while. Theband does not have any gimmicks; theyuse the standard guitar, drums, and bass
to create driving music which is originaland enjoyable.
The consistency of the music is quitesurprising for any album; none of thetracks are obvious dogs. The one standoutis the title track, "Rough Night in Jeri-cho." The song, which is currently gettingsome air-time on Boston rock stations,combines Barry Marler's loud lyrics andfast guitar riffs with Trent Allen's excel-lent bass and Drew Worsham's acceptabledrums to form a powerful, exciting song.Expect to hear much more from this bandin the years to come.

songs, but closer examination reveals acynical, often desperate view of love.
"Shadow and Jimmy," courtesy of ElvisCostello, is a fine example. It is the per-fect theme for Was (not Was) and they putthe song to a Latin-flavored tune, whichsomehow works out.
Was (not Was) continually find them-selves using a variety of styles as a vehiclefor their alternative take on life. Witness,"11 MPH," a song about Lee Harvey Os-wald; disturbing lyrics on top of a funkyMarcus Miller bass line. "Out come theFreaks' is a revisitation of the song fromtheir previous album, where it was titled"(Return to the Valley of) Out Come theFreaks." It continues where it left off be-fore, with three more vignettes on freaksin the Was (not Was) universe, then fadesinto Sweet Pea, with his Smakey falsetto,on 'Anytime Lisa." From there, cut toDonald Was waxing psychopathic to hisDad about being in jail. An abrupt jumpfor most of us, but certainly not for thisband.
What Up, Dog? is definitely not thebest way to get your feet wet with in thestrange waters of Was (not Was). The pre-vious album, Born to Laugh at Tornadoes,is much easier to take. Theirs is a dis-turbed vision, one that is quite close tooutright weirdness, but it works. As dis-turbed as their vision may be, musically itis often startlingly clear.

THE CUTTER & THE CLANRunrig.Chrysalis Records.
HIS IS A WELL-PRODUCED, pleas-ant-to-listen-to rock album. Andprecisely in that fact lies its soleweak point. This sextet from
Scotland are clearly competent masters ofmandolin, bagpipes, and accordion as wellas the standard guitar, bass, and drums,and they write intelligent lyrics with equalfacility in English and Gaelic. it's some-thing of a disappointment that with thesetalents and background Runrig takes thetoo-safe route, making music that isn'tgreatly different in sound from everythingelse on the radio. The few really innova-tive moments on The Cutter & The Clanonly make one wish to hear what Runrig
could do if they weren't interested in sell-ing lots of records.

true-to-the-original (Taj Mahal's renderingof "Bourgeois Blues" is turning into a rni-nor hit on folk-oriented radio stations) tooddly innovative (Brian Wilson -- yes,that -Brian Wilson- - doing Beach-Boysythings to "Goodnight Irene"); still, thekeen sociopolitical insights and love for

TRUTH AND SOULFishbone.Columbia records.
N a coordinated promotions maneu-ver, a copy of the most recent Fish-bone release, Truth and Soul,reached me right after the tour stop
at Axis a few weeks ago. The group is cur-rently touring the country in support ofthis album, and is being received very wellby the older "cult" following as well asnewer listeners who have come to appreci-ate the Fishbone sound.
It is clear, as was noted in my concertreview, that Fishbone has matured. In fact,everyone in the group is now over twenty-one. Seriously, though, their musical earhas been sharpened and their sound ismuch more refined;- nothing has been lostin the aging. Fishbone still has a greattime. They still record fun party tunes like"Bonin' in the Boneyard," but they canalso create a song like "Slow Bus Moving(Howard Beach Party)," and be taken seri-ously.
The mixing of styles is perhaps Fish-bone's strongest assest, with their ability toput funk, ska, and Los Angeles hardcoreelements into a cohesive sound. The beatthat's cut loose in concert is present on thealbum. All of the talent that put the newsongs into Fishbone's act was first appliedto putting the songs on record.
There is something in the show that'smissing from the album, however. There'ssomething about the energy of Fishbone'slive act that doesn't translate well to re-cord. Perhaps this is an unfair expecta-tion. In having first been acquainted withFishbone through their performances, thealbum may pale in comparison. The al-bum is listenable and enjoyable, but toreally appreciate the music is to see theband live. Until the next tour, the albumwill certainly suffice.

FOLKWAYS: A VISION SHAREDA TRIBUTE TO WOODY GUTHRIEAND LEADBELLYVarious Artists.Columbia Records.IMM 1W T OODY GUTHRIE and Huddie
"Leadbelly" Ledbetter wereperhaps the two most influ-ential folk musicians of the

Lapes re-writes recordbook in season finale
Wide receiver Anthony Lapes'90 shattered every MIT singlegame, season, and career receiv-ing record on Saturday in a sea-son-ending 41-35 loss to Bentley
4-0; Chang had never fenced in,her life before taking PE fencingas a freshman. The victories overTufts and McGill did not counttowards the team's NCAA re-cord, which stands at 1-1, be-cause Tufts is a club team andMcGill is a Canadian team.
The men's team lost two ofthree last weekend, defeatingTufts (18-9) while losing to NewYork University (17-10) andMcGill (18-9).
Senior quarterback Tim Dayalso set a single game schoolmark of three scoring tosses, andtied the season TD pass record ofsix. Day finished the season asthe conference's top-rated passeron the strength of his second halfof the season, culminating in hisperformance against Bentley Col-lege when he overtook KevinLucey of the Falcons.
Four Beavers were named tothe NECFC All-Star Team firstteam: LaHousse, offensive line-man Bob Kupbeng '90, lineback-er Darcy Prather '91, and RickBuellesbach '90 at safety. Lapes,Day, and defensive lineman MikeAhrens '90 were named to thesecond team.
