Another program involves a group of private citizens in Iran who would like to build an Iranian science university pat- terned after MIT. MIT's contrib- ution to their effort, Brown said would "help in developing goals and objectives." Professor of Nuclear Engineering Edward A. Mason '48 is discussing with the Iranian Embassy a proposal that asks MIT to train a group of Iranians through the master's level in nuclear engineering, ac- cording to Bruce. "The Iranians have bought five nuclear reactors to be used for power generation, and need some experts who know how to operate them," Bruce explained. Bruce said, however, that "we are prepared to accept and help Iranian students" in the same manner as other foreign stu- dents. There are currently stu- dents from ten foreign countries at 'AES. MIT would like to "help the lesser developed nations develop science and technology institu- tions," Bruce stated. As an example, he said that "one of the things that we would like to help Iran do is work on its food problem." Bruce believes that MIT will benefit from these programs with Iran. "As we work with other countries to develop edu- cational programs to meet their needs, we gain insights into pro- grams that we are developing to meet our own needs. It gives us another way to evaluate our own programs."

The MIT Center for Ad- vanced Engineering Study (CAES), Bruce said, has been asked to aid the Iranians with expansion of Ayra-Mehr Univer- sity of Teheran, the capital of Iran. Ayra-Mehr is planning to add a new campus-that will increase its enrollment by 10,000 students. MIT's involvement in the pro- ject would take place in both countries, according to CAES Assistant Director Paul E. Brown '5 6.

In discussing the current sta-tus of the welfare system, Pivensaid that its position as an issueis still one of relative import-ance. She pointed to the pre-dominance of "the welfaretheme" in-present-day politicalpropaganda, and to the recentdefeat of John Gilligan, who asgovernor of Ohio had instituteda variety ' of far-reaching soc-ial-welfare 'programs,' as sub-stantiation of this assertion.

Piven further asserted thatthis interest and tihe "renewedcr'ies 'ef a welfare crisis"' suggestthat the. "hierarchy 'of -welfaremanage'mnt". is preparing to re-

"Many discussions took place either:-when the raise was handed out or afterthe raise was received. In almost allthese cases, the idea of performanceappraisal was seriously underminedsince it was obvious that decisions hadbeen made without any discussion orexplanation,""A highly controversial aspect ofthe review was- whether or not thesalary increase was really based onmerit. Although the intended purpose-of the review was to reward perform-ance, only a few of the seventy-twopeople interviewed felt the processeffectively carried out this purpose. Infact, most people-were.insulted by theadministration's attempt to make theApril process seem .like a merit re-view ."Mr. Culliton points out that "rapid

inflation falls very heavily on colleges and-universities because -they are not in aposition to pass the full increases in theircosts to students and/or research spon-sors." MIT has not hesitated to pass thecosts on in the form of higher tuitionover the past 25 years. Since 1')45,tuition has risen faster than the ConsumerPrice Index over the same period of time.With reference to research contracts, wewould like to make the following points:many research contracts work on a "costpass-tlhrough" arrangement. That is, asemployee and benefit costs rise, thesecosts can be passed on to the grantor - inmost cases t he federa 1 govern ment. MIT isnot just another "'college or university."Because of the national importance of itsscientific researclh. MIT is granted miil-lions of dollars in research money by thefederal government, and it is hardlIy likelythat government agencies would with-draw support from it for reqluestingg moremoney. A recent Bloston (;lobc articlemade reference to the fact that MITreceives more funds from the .federalgovernment than ally other college oruniversity. Besides, Mr. (Culliton seems toinfer that MIT's emnployees should bearthe brunt of MIT's financial burden. Whyshould this -be so? We are helping landhave helped) MIT reach the reputation ithas today. Why should we feel guiltyabout demanding a living wage'?

Mr. Culliton compares our wage in-,creases to the ConsutLmer Price index andmentions the fact that the average in-crease last April was nearly 7'/r and theC'onsumer Price Index (CPID was 10.2';;.lie tries to balance this off by stating thatthe new non-contributory pension plan"adds" 3'¢ to our 7¢ increase. Thefollowing facts should be considered:

1. how many people actually parti-cipate in the pension plan and there-fore benefit firom this "added" 3',/?

2. the (C1' is calculated on a month-ly basis. From April through Septem-ber of this year, the CPI' has icaeadr

risen 5.59,. Economic-forecasters havepredicted that the CPI will rise 12-1 3%over the next year, thus absorbing'our7%G increase Iog beoJre April of 19)7 4.Mr. Culliton makes a series of state-

ments about the promotional and in-crease system at MIT. Our Gr-ievanceCommittee has been collect-ing informa-tion on grievance cases and the evidenceseems to refute Mr. Culliton's claims.When he refers to the "40'% of office/clerical employees (who) received someincrease beyond the regular annual meritreview," he is including new employeeswho receive a "guaranteed" salary in-crease contingent upon a good evaluationat the end of their first four months atMIT. Even allowing for this group, itmight interest Mr. Culliton to know thatmost of our grievances have Come fromthese people, miany of whomll did nIotreceive a review or a salary increase anddidn't even know that they 'were entitledto one. Also, miany employees who askedfor an increase other than the AprilReview after their first year of' employ-mert, were told thiat this was not "com-mon practice" at MIT, and that in orderto obtain a salary increase, it was neces-.ary to be promoted to a higher grade ofoffice work. This promotional process isvery often arbitrary (based on the pres-tige of the indivitlual supervisor), frustrat-ing. and often tilme-consrunling, involvinga personnel representative who probablyhas had no contact with the t employeesince hie/shet was hitend.

In conclusion. it is importaint to men-tion thal;t tlhe office workers at MIT lhaveno direct form of reptresentation. Budgetsare formulated effectilng policies whichldirectly affect oLur futurets a ntd we hlave noinput into these procedures. We feel thatit is timie for a cha ngre.

In Case of Insomnia-

Inscorn(n )?By Storm Kauffman

Inscorn is back. After six years ofinconspicuous absence, the InstituteCommittee (abbreviated Inscom in thislife so that it may be distinguished fromthe original Ihscomm), has risen from theashes of the always defunct GeneralAssembly (GA).

UAP Steve Wallman apparently madethe decision to resurrect Inscorn basedprimarily on the non-existence of the GA(supposedly the chief governing body ofthe UA), the insipid record of the recentUAPs, and the absence of a unifiedstudent lobbying group. Unfortunately,he chose to use the Inscom name, onewhich raises distasteful memories ofsquabbling student politicians on the make.

In its last year, Inscomm becamevirtually invisible, 'meeting on short no-tice and failing to publicize its decisions.Then-UAP Maria Kivisild saw fit to im-pose her will on the committee. SpringWeekend was abolished because of finan-cial problems. Plans for dorm rushing ranafoul of the IFC. Eventually, a motion todissolve Inscomn failed 8-6, and Kivisildwalked out. The remainder of the yearwas spent in formulating proposals forthe restructuring of student government.The GA that MIT got was similar to thepre-1953 Inscornm, a large and unwieldyrepresentative body.

Wallman has better intentions than therevival of this sometimes vindictive corn-mittee. According to Finboard chairmanJack VanWoerkom '75 and IFC chairmanPete Mancuso, the primary objective is toimprove communications among the vari-ous student representatives. The UAComnmittees (including Finboard, SCEP,SCU' and SIPB, according to the 1969UA constitution) were apparently reassur-ed that the powers and responsibilitiesthat they have earned in their years ofindependence would not be circum-vented. When the living group officialsjoined (third meeting), they too insistedon autonomy and refused to yield theirpow ers.

The feeling seems to be that Inscorncan ( and probably will be very useful as aforum for communication between thevarious student interest groups and UAactivities. That is all that most of itsmembers want; they are not interested inthe Inscormm of old.

However, I can see the spectre of agroup ( not necessarily this present groupof individuals) which will ultimatelycome to consider itself all-powerful. Pos-sibly a poor choice of words, the articlein The UA News (by UVAP Jim Moody)already hints at this (e.g., suggesting thatLSC may not have a right to its "controlover extensive publicity resources and amajor portion of campus entertain-ment"). Also, there is Wallman's unan-nounced (the undergraduates not beinginformed of the act until after the thirdmeeting) and possibly unauthorized re-formation of the committee. After all,the 1969 constitution specified the GA asthe representative branch and made nomention of the Inscomin which it dis-solved. While the creation of a forum forcommunication is both acceptable andadmirable, the creation of a usurpinggoverning body would place Wallman incontradiction to the last stated wishes ofthe MIT undergraduates. If he is not to beopen to criticism, Wallmnan must notpermit his Inscoin to take on powersvested in the CGA (even if it is deceased)until the constitution is amended.

A return to the old Inscomm is notwhat we want. Since lnscommnz's demise,the individual student activities haveflourished .

Inscom will benefit all as a forum forcommunication. As a new governingbody, it is more likely to be.detrimentaithan it is to cure the contagious anemiawhich killed the GA in its infancy.

AWAREThIe following letter was addressed origin-all)' to tihe Editor of The Boston Globe.To the Editor:

This letter is written to you by theSteering Committee of AWARE, a groupwhich is attempting to organize the officeworkers at MIT. We read the editorialcolumn written by Michael Ansara onOctober 2 and the subsequent-reply ofMr. Jim Culliton,i Director of PersonnelServices at MIT. We feel that a response isnecessary to clarify the feelings of em-ployees who are directly affected by thestatements of Mr. Culliton.

Mr. Culliton, in attempting to rebutAnsara's statement that a clerical workerat MIT can earn as little as $80 per week,states that none of MIT's 1300 full-timeclerical employees are classified as Grade1. If Mr. Culliton is correct, we are led toask the obvious question: why is this jobclassification still "on the books"? Wesuspect that there are some employeeswho fall into this job category andtherefore may receive gross salaries asincredibly low as $80 per week.

Culliton states that clerical salaries atMIT are competitive with others in theBoston area. He fails to mention thatclerical pay in Boston is almost the lowestin the nation. Boston ranks 1 3th in a listof 15 major cities (only Memphis andBirmingham have lower clerical pay),despite the fact that Boston has thehighest cost of living in the continentalUnited States. Thus, MIT's salaries areindeed "competitive," at an abysmallylow level. In part, these low levels may bethe result of the activities of the BostonArea Survey Group, a committee com-posed of MIT and other major clericalemployers who meet regularly to "ex-change information" on clerical salaries.

Culliton takes issue with Ansara's.criti-cisms of the "merit" system at MIT. Wehave seen this so-called merit systemabused in many different ways. One ofthe major criticisms we have made of the"merit" review is t hat it is arbitrary and iscontingent on the whims of individualsupervisors. Many employees have com-plained that because their individualsupervisors were trying to "trim" depart-mental budgets or didn't like them(despite the fact that they may be effici-ent workers), they received much lessthan the maximum percentage increasefor their job classificat ions.

A student in the Sloan School ofBusiness was hired by John Wynne, VicePresident, Office of Administration andPersonnel, to study this year's AprilSalary Review (the annual review at MIT.which Was publicly touted as a meritreview). The following are direct quotesfrom his report:

(re: the supervisor - employee evalu-ation discussion):

Nlew learning milieuanalyzed by DSRE

(Continued from page I )4) A music laboratory com-

bining old technologies such aspianos and drums with new tech-nologies such as computers andelectronics.

Factors responsible for thecreation of DSRE were numer-ous, according to BensonSnyder, Professor of Archi-tecture and Planning and mem-ber of the Division's ExecutiveCommittee. Snyder, who is cur-rently investigating the dynamicsof the processes of change inuniversities explained that therewas a deep "concern about anumber of questions regardingeducation at MIT."

The "division concept" is anew one at MIT, stated Theo-dore Martin, Professor of Math-ematics and Director of DSRE.Martin explained that the Divi-sion, like any other departmentat MIT, can make faculty ap-pointments and offer courses ofinstruction but it cannot admit astudent or have degree majors.Admission to the program re-quires admission to a graduatedepartment through the normalMIT procedures.

Most of the Division's facultyhave joint appointments and thePolicy. Committee consists ofboth DSRE and non-DSRE fac-ulty. This is intentional andlooked upon with "great favor"because it keeps the Division andthe MIT faculty in close contact,Martin said.

Funds for the Division camefrom sources including tileCGreen Foundation, the LillyFoundation, the National Insti-tute of Health, the Ford Found-ation and the National ScienceFoundation.

On July 1, 1 973, the Divisionbecame an official entity. It wasnot until the fall semester of19')73, however, that classes antireal operation started.

'rThe Division's ExecutiveCommittee is appointed by theDirector, Theodore Martin, andits tfunctions are to form policy,to review policy formed by theDirector and to monitor thefunction of the Division., ThePolicy Committee reviews the'overall direction" of DSRE andis made up of faculty membersfrom other departments at MIT.

Also concluding their varsitycareers were Esref Unsal, Cha-Min Tang '75, and captain RayMarotta, who despite very diffi-cult circumstances, should becomnmended for his leadershipthis year. Marotta was the team'sleading scorer, tallying five goals.

which left them in an awkwardposition from which to attackthile Greek goal. However, severalwell-executed attacks weremounted by Aero/Senior Houseonly to be stopped by theHellenic keeper, John Paras '75,or by miskicks in front of opennets.

In trying to determine thecause of MIT's poor showing thisyear, a number of things arehelpful. First of-all, the injuriesto Yoshida and Paul Fernandez'77 certainly hurt both the En-gineer offensive and defensiveunits. Secondly, the team hadlost four starters from the yearbefore, and as a result had torely on fairly inexperiencedplayers to'replace them. Most ofthe season was spent. trying torebuild the Engineer team, andafter seven straight losses, theteam began to jell, going 1-3-2

the rest of the year against somevery strong competition.

Next year's situation appearsbetter, as the team will havefewer gaps to fill. Strangely e-nough, this year's loss of Fern-andez and Yoshida for much ofthe year will help the team intrying to replace this year's grad-uates. As a result, there is everyreason to believe that the Engi-neers should have a much betterseason next year, a season thathopefully will erase most of the;bad memories of this disappoint-ing year.

Boufounos and Covlacas werewell contained by Aero/SeniorHouse in this game and the teamhad to rely on their wing backsand forwards to move the ball.This they did very well.

Colson, the Aero/SeniorHouse goalie proved again hisvalue to the team, diving andjumping in front of the net allgame in an attempt to rally hisdefense. This was to no avail,though, as the defense tended tobunch together, allowing theGreeks to maneuver the ballclose to the net where saves area lmost impossible.

Most commendable through-out the tournament was theofficiating. Doug McLeod '77,Wayne Hamburger '76, and EdChristiansen G did a great job inall seven of the hotly contestedtrophy games.

In C-league action, an oldfootball rivalry was revived onthe soccer field as SAE downedFIJI, 2-1, to take the champion-ship.

Hellenic scored quickly ontwo corner kicks withBoufounos adeptly maneuveringto beat the Math goalie on aheader and on a loose ball inlthegoal area. The third goal came asthe result of a penalty kick for ahand ball foul. Late in the se-cond half, Covlacas dribbled pasthalf of the Math, team, firing anoff-balanced shot' to the oppo-site side of the net to the com-plete surprise of the Math goaliefor the final tally.

Aero/Senior House won aberth in the championship gamewith a surprising 1-0 upset overthe African XI team. A combi-nation of good midfield play anda staunch defense enabled Aero/Senior House to post, the shut-out.

The only goal in the contestwas scored early in the first halfwhen an alert center- forward,Adrian Bejan G, capitalized on aloose'ball in the goal area anddrove- it home past the out-stretched African goalie.

Composed mainly of grad-uates and undergraduates fromSenior House and the Aero-nautical Engineering Depart-ment, .the squad is vastly im-proved over last year when theAfricans defeated them 8-1.Many of the team members areformer junior varsity players,coming from Brown, Illinois,West Point, and MIT. The squadis anchored by a Belgian studentin goal, Christian Colson G, whoby far is the most acrobatic anddominant person to play in goalsince a former Boston Collegekeeper played for Food & Nu-trit ion Science two years ago.

The championship game,however, featured seventy min-utes of Greek-dominated soccer.At thel outset of each half,Hellenic scored quickly on ex-cellent crossing passes by theirright wing, Tasos Giannotas '74.The final tally, late in the secondhalf. resulted from a penaltykick for a hand ball foul.

one a rebound from a cornerkick that Sommer stopped butsubsequently lost and the othera breakaway, to give CoastGuard a 3-1 lead.

Despite the two-goal deficit,play was such that it still seemedthat the Engineers might be ableto stage a comeback. However,the one thing that could effect-ively kill off any rally hopeshappened for the third or fourthtime this year - a late first-halfgoal by the opponents. Thistime, the crusher came ninetyseconds before halftime as BobMurray took an Astley'passdur-ing a scramble in front of theEngineer net and drove t.through a crowd to make it 4-1.

This goal, more than anythingelse, took the fight out of MIT,as Astley completed his hat trickat 1 3:47 of the second half on aright-to-left punch shot and EdWelch put in a "garbage'! goalfifteen minutes later as CoastGuard completely dominatedthe play.

By Glenn BrownsteinJohn Astley's three goals and

one assist led Coast Guard to a6-3 win over MIT's varsity soccerteam Saturday at Briggs Field inthe Engineer's final game thisseason. The loss set MIT's finalseason record at 1-10-2, one ofits worst marks in history.

The game was unlike mostMIT soccer games this year inthat neither team exhibited anyconsistent short passing attackbut instead seemed content tobase an offense on short down-field chips and clears. There wasvery little tackling, as mostchanges of possession resultedfrom interceptions of passes.

The talent difference betweenthe two squads was negligible,but MIT's defense played amuch looser game than CoastGuard's, and as a result allowedthe Bears many more scoringopportunities.

Coast Guard took advantageof an Engineer defensive lapseseven minutes into the game, asKevin McNaughton took a BobOpkins chip, dribbled past oneman; found himself wide openabout twenty yards out andbooted a shot just under thecrossbar and over the reach ofMIT goalie Charlie Sommer '76.

Just two minutes later, MITtied the score on a Shin Yoshida'76 thirty yarder. Engineer for-ward Steve Rice '78 trapped athrow-in, beat his ('oast Guardadversary, and tapped the ball toYoshida, who pumped his shotinto the right side of the nef.

After about fifteen minutesof open field play, Astley tallied :two goals within two minutes,
