Dr. Herbert L. Scoville Jr.,president of the Arms ControlAssociation and former deputydirector for research and assistantdirector of scientific intelligencewith the Central IntelligenceAgency -presented a public forumon 'The Present Nuclear Dan-ger" in room 9-150 Wednesday.

Scoville spoke in favor of a nu-ciear weapons freeze, and sum-marized the present world situa-tion by Insisting that "nuclearwar itself is becoming more andmore likely."

A shift has been taking placein the world, he said, and nuclearweapons are no longer a deter-rant to nuclear war, but eachcountry is finding more and morereasons to use their nuclearweapons.

"T he first villain," in thechange to a nuclear offense wasformer Secretary of DefenseJames Schlesinger, said Scoville.The policy has continued tochange under each president sinceRichard M. Nixon, he said, to-ward a policy of nuclear war

-fighting instead of deterrance.A prime example of this policy

shift, said Scoville, is the IMXmissile system. The MX system ispurely an offensive system, hesaid, and serves as a promptthreat to the Soviet Union's inter-continental ballistic missiles(ICBM).

The MX first-strike threat en-dangers 75 percent of the Sovietmissile force, which is land

based, Scoville said. This threatforces the Soviets either to strikefirst or to set their weapons on"launch on warning" statuswhere the missiles will belaunched as soon as their warn-ing systems detect a threat.

"By deployment of the MXmissile system, we're making nu-clear war more likely," Scovillesaid. The US's copying of the So-viets' offensive missile systemonly pressures the USSR to useits forces, he added.

Scoville also discussed the Eu-ropean theater, examining theSoviet threat of SS-4 and SS-5missiles and new SS-20 IChM'sversus the new US cruise missileand the new "particularly dan-gerous" Pershing 11 missiles.

Pershing 11 missiles are capableof accuratly hitting Soviet targetswithin six minutes of launching,Scoville said. This capabilitygreatly endangers the Soviets' po-litical and military command inMoscow, and forces them tolaunch a first strike in the eventof any disturbance or alert in Eu-rope.

"In Europe, opportunities fora real crisis are much greater," hecontinued. With this type ofweaponry, the real possibility ofnuclear war is increased, Scovillesaid.

"We have a stable mutual denterrant situation today, so let'sstop where we are," Scoville pro-posed. After a freeze is in effect,he said, the US and the USSRwill be in a position to begin re-duction.

Many people, including Rea-gan, Scoville said, believe a freezewould leave the US at a perma-nent disadvantage. "This is un-adulterated nonsense," Scovilleattacked, repeating that the UShas a very secure deterrant force.

An essential element in a jointfreeze is that of verification of thefreeze, Scoville explained. Withtoday's technology and an "in-spection" system with the Soviets,verification is possible, he assert-ed.

People'must pressure the ad-ministration to pursue a weapons

-freeze ideology, Scoville conclud-ed, and reverse the present trendto increased nuclear armament.

The Institute will spend be-tween $3000 and $4000 to pre-pare the lot for use, Truesell said.

MIT will build a booth, capa-ble of holding two attendants, atthe Massachusetts Avenue en-trance of the lot to check incom-ing cars, he explained, and ahedge will be planted around-theperimeter of the lot bordering thecorner, to fulfill Cambridge zon-ing requirements.

Cars in the lot will be "gang-parked" to maximize availableparking space, Trussell said. Aspace will be reserved for handi-capped parking.

The Institute will collect a feefor parking, in the lot, Trussellnoted, to defray the costs of con-struction and upkeep.

By Jamnes J. ReisertThe Institute may soon have a

new visitor parking lot at the cor-ner of Massachusetts Avenue andVassar Street, according to MITReal Estate Officer Philip A.Trussell.

The Institute will seek a con-struction permit for the lot at acity hearing November 4. Workon the twenty-five car lot shouldbe take about two weeks, Trussellsaid.

The Vassar Real Estate Corpo-ration, owned by former Cam-bridge assessor Charles Covertyand others, recently purchasedthe former G ulf gas station. M ITis leasing the property from Vas-sar Real Estate for the next fiveyears.

By Sam CableDemocrat Peter Vellucci, son

of Cambridge Mayor Alfred Vel-lucci, and independent candidateLarry Beeferman are running forstate representative from the 29thMiddlesex district, which in-cludes East Cambridge, Cam-bridgeport, and part of Somer-ville.

Vellucci defeated incumbentMichael Lombardi in the Demo-cratic primary.

The most important issue, Bee-ferman said, is the economy. Hehas several proposals which, heclaims, will create "decent-payingjobs ... which are linked to thecommunity in which they are lo-cated."

Vellucci said two of the mostimportant issues he would haveto address if elected are crimeand tax reform.

Vellucci stressed he has lived inthe district all his life, while Bee-ferman "hasn't lived in the dis-trict two years."

"The distrct is mainly made upof working class people," Velluccisaid. "I come from a workingclass background ... and I've

been involved in the communityall my life."

Beeferman said he is "con-cerned about people having a sayin the decisions that are most im-portant to their lives," and has"a record of accomplishment andexperience."

The two candidates hold manysimilar positions, particularly onstate referendum questions. Bothfavor the bottle-bill (question 4),oppose state funding of privateschools (question !), and -opposethe death penalty (question 2).

On referendum question 3,which would regulate nuclearpower plant and waste disposalsite construction, Vellucci said heis "definitely against nuclearpower plants." Beeferman said hesupports the requirement that avote be taken before a nuclearpower plant can be built.

Both candidates support ques-tion 5, the referendum for a nu-clear -freeze.

"I don't think it would be hardfor a political figure to support anuclear freeze," Beefermanclaimed, "but I have been con-cerned about arms control for fif-teen years."

grezhnev warns of US nukes USSR Premier Leonid Brezhnev told Soviet generals the United Stateswas threatening "to push the world into the flames of nuclear." Brezhnev, speaking on the 20th anniversaryof the Cuban Missile Crisis, pledged the Soviet Union would meet the American buildup: "Lagging behindin this competition is inadmissable." He also said the USSR would try to normalize its relations with thePeople's Republic of China. With the policies of the Reagan Administration, it is "very important how ourrelations with other countries shape up," Brezhnev told the military leaders. "Of no small importance areour relations with China. We sincerely want a normalization of relations with that country and are doingeverything in our power toward that end."

Argentirna will cut its budget to get a loan - Argentina agreed to potentially unpopular budget cuts inorder to recieve $2 billion in loans from the International Monetary Fund. Argentina has about $1.7 bil-lion in unfulfilled payments on $40 billion of foreign loans. The new IMF funds will provide an emergencymeasure for payments on this debt. Argentina's military regime hopes the IMF agreement will encourageother Western banks to renegotiate the $12 billion in principal and interest Argentina will owe by the endof this year.

The Polish economy isn't too hot either - Manfred Gorywoda, economic advisor to Polish leaderGeneral Jaruzelski, told the country's 200-member Central Committee Poland is "faced with . . . regressionin the economy and a breakdown of economic balance on an unprecedented scale." Gorywoda claimed the1980 strike that led to formation of Solidarity began the decline of the Polish economy. He also outlinedthe government's three-year economic plan, which he claimed would alleviate Poland's food and housingshortages and provide higher wages and benefits to workers.

N1 ationMeanwhile, back at the ranch, Nobel Laureate talks of depression - George P. Stigler, winner ofthe 1982 Nobel Prize in economics, surprised administration officials when he declared at a White Housepress conference Wednesday the nation was in a depression. Speaking just after he met with President Rea-gan, Stigler compared the severity of present economic problems to the Great Depression. When askedabout supply-side economics, Stigler, a conservative economist from the University of Chicago, said, "As Iunderstand it - and it's not an orthodox economic category - it's a gimmick, or, if you wish, a sloganthat was used to package certain ideas." White House officials tried to hurry Stigler from the podium, butnot before he answered one last question about similarities between the nation's present problems and theGreat Depression.

Don't le M Te inway of education

A freshman I was talking to recently admitted sheepishly he hasmanaged to venture into Boston only once since he has been at MIT.To paraphrase Mark Twain, he is letting his schooling interfere withhis education. Before winter finally overtakes the city, there are severalpleasures of the New England area everyone should experience. Now,before the end-of-term cruch begins, is the time to enjoy some of theseexperiences. Places to visit proximate to MIT irmlude:

the Cambridge Common, just beyond Harvard Square, whereGeorge Washington accepted command of the Continental Army.

O Boston Harbor, where, among other things, the USS Constitlution,the famous battleship called 'Old Ironsides" that inspired an OliverWendell Holmes poem, is anchored..

0 Walden Pond, the place Henry David Thoreau immortalized byconducting his experiment in self-reliance and later writing a bookabout the experience.

0 Boston's North End, the homze of the best Italian food on theEast Coast that is not prohibitively expensive. While in the area, it isworth exploring the old North Church of Paul Revere fame and thesubject of its own literary tribute, and Haymarket Square, a source ofhigh-quality, fresh, inexpensive produce, and obnoxious vendors, allyear-round.

o Filene's Basement, the popular discount section of the famous de-partment store, where designer clothes are mnarked down to ridiculousprices. Filene's has recently spawned several spin-offs in the New YorkMetropolitan area, but none has the cachet of the original basement.

l Plymouth, where the Pilgrims who came to America on the May-flower established their first settlement.

0 Salem, the site of the famous witch trials in the mid-1600's, inwhich several local residents were tried, convicted, and executed forconsorting with the devil. 0

0 Rockport, an old New England fishing town, whose romantic at-mosphere is unparalleled.

is the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum, which, unlike its morewell-known neighbor, the Museum of Fine Arts, does not attract MITstudents trying to finish humanities assignments.

O the Hancock building, a tourist trap whose view is worth seeinganyway. At two dollars, visiting the top of the Hancock is cheaperthan getting caught on the G~reen Building, which resultsiih a fifty dol-lar fine. Besides, the Hancock view is better anyway.

* Cape Cod, a vista of solitary beauty now that most of the touristshave gone home.

O Lexington and Concord, where the shot heard 'round the worldwas fired.

* the two cemeteries near the Park Street~subway station, whereSamuel Adams, Paul Revere, and several seventeenth-century Massa-chusetts governors are buried, among others.

( Part two. )

They sank my boat.John F Kennedy

With Omar dead, the mania ofthe morning is dissipated.Gorged on free BU food anddrink, I begin to sink into theweirdness of the afternoon.

Santa Claus rows by on a surf-board wearing a sign on his back"SAILBOARD OARMASTER."I wave. He waves. I wonder howmuch acid BU puts in its dip.

Two women wearing "SmithCrew" sweatshirts walk by. I askif they are in fact affiliated. with"Smith Crew." They are. I askthem where their boathouse is.They say they are using Har-vard's Weld Boathouse, and askme why I am interested. I tellthem-my ex-girlfriend, to whom Ihaven't spoken since July, triedout for crew, and I want to see ifshe made it. They shake theirheads negatively. "We don't knowher," they say.

"Thank you," I say, and theygo away.

With nothing better to do I de-termine that a pointless quixoticquest is in order, viz. going to

"Smith Crew's" boathouse whereI may find my ex-girlfriend, or"Chick," the macho coach aboutwhom she used to fantasize, whocan tell me where she is.

First, however, I must returnto the Tech offices to file an inter-im report and to inform them ofOmar's demise, so they can as-sign another photographer. Ihope they won't be mad I lost thefirst one they gave me.

Regretably no one is there toreceive my report or be informedof Omar's demise. I sit down toread The Harvard Crimson's"Head of the Charles" supple-ment to see what turgid swill thetreacherous bastards there havepenned, and how much of it Ican nlaiyari7e for mv nwun etnrur%_azi ja1ra *vi my*J

Millions of Americans will goto the polls Tuesday to exercise afree society's most valuable right- the right to vote. The choiceswe make on November 2 willhelp to shape our country's po-litical and economic future for atleast the next two years. It will beinteresting to see how we votethat day.

At this time, there is littleagreement on how the 1982 elec-tions will turn out. Many com-mentators have forecast a Demo-cratic landslide. Some have evenpredicted Democratic gain's of upto 5 Senate seats (enough to re-store the Senate to Democraticcontrol), at least 40 House seats,and about 9 governorships. Oth-ers have been more cautious, say-ing that the Democrats will onlymake marginal gains on electionday, breaking even in the Senate,gaining 10 to 15 seats in. theHouse, and picking up a coupleof governorships.

It is hard to tell what will actu-ally happen on election day. Tra-ditionally, the party in control ofthe White House is expected todo poorly in midterm elections,so Democrats are hopeful.Democrats will also be helped byvoter disenchantment with dou-ble-digit unemployment and re-cord rates of business failures.But Republicans are outspendingDemocrats by tremendous mar-gins throughout the country, and

"What are you talking about?"the Omar-android says.

"You know perfectly well, youmachine. You and your treacher-ous BU boathouse masters willnever succeed."

"Hey, you're crazy," it saysworriedly.

"Are you bothering Omar?"Laurie says. "He has a photo es-say to get out."

"It's not Omar, Laurie, but anincredible recreation," I say. "Itold you on the phone, the realOmar is dead."

Laurie leads me to a table withphotographs on it. "Look atthese great pictures," she says."Could an android be smartenough to take pictures likethese."

"Certainly," I say, "this isMIT."

"Could a BU android take pic-tures like these?"

"I suppose not. But then whydid he disappear?"

"Hey, I just got bored andleft," the Omar-android says.

"Maybe," I relent. "Just may-be." But from now on, I'm goingto be watching Omar very, verycarefully.

Mem. Drive again, and theyleave, while I go to the Cam-bridge Boat Club.

The races are over now, andthe little old ladies are cleaningup. I take copies of the unofficialtimes from the stacks in the pressroom. Since there are no morefree stale muffins, I leave.

Darkness is falling when I re-turn to MQIT. I decide to go to theBurton House party with the freeentry ticket I picked up sometimeduring the day to get some goodpost race quotations and liquor.

There are about a dozen peo-ple in the Burton dining roomwhen I arrive, and two very wor-ried-looking people behind thebar, in front of twenty or socases-of beer. I am not usuallyone to turn down free beer, espe-cially twenty cases of it, but thecompound weirdness of the day,culminating in the huge Burtondining room, full of beer with nopeople to drink it, gets to me. Imust leave to return to the realityof The Tech.

At The Tech I find the Omar-android. "You treacherous an-droid bastard," I say, advancingupon it. "lm on to you."

and he has spent millions of dol-lars to boost his name-recogni-tion among voters. Cuomo is theliberal who came from behind toupset New York Mayor Ed Kochin the Democratic primary. Mostanalysts have picked Cuomo, butI think Lehrman will win thisone.

Those are my predictions forsome of the more important racesthis year. We will just have to seewhat happens on November 2.One thing we can be sure of: ourvotes do count, and they willhelp to determine our country'sdestiny. I hope we choose wisely.

lionaire Democrat Mark Daytonis fighting moderate RepublicanDave Durenberger. Dayton hasbought his way from obscurity towithin a couple of points of Dur-enberger. Come November 2, 1think Minnesotans will sendDayton to Washington and bringDurenberger back home.

By Daniel Crean(Editor's nole: This article is the

second of a two-part series exam-ining student government and ac-tivities funding at A ITand othercolleges and universities. Part oneappeared October 22.)

The MIT Office of the Deanfor Student Affairs is providing$95,364 to the UndergraduateAssociation for student govern-ment and activities this year; oth-er colleges and universities fundtheir student groups in a varietyof ways.

Harvard College's newly-formed student government willreceive a budget of $58,272 thisyear, according to Undergrad-uate Council Treasurer Peter N.Smith. The money comes from a$10 student activity fee, said Ste-phen W. Homer of the Harvardbursar's office, of which $6.50 isoptional.

Approximately half the coun-cil's money will be distributed toclubs, Smith said, and the re-mainder will cover the Under-araduate Council's expenses. Thebudget, he said, is a "good start,"but indicated the council willlikely need budget increases incoming years. Harvard enrolls600 undergraduates.

'Princeton University assessesits approximately 4500 under-graduates a fee of $28 a year, ac-cording to student government

Heckler.Frans< vie

(Continuedfrom page /)Frank has ferociously attacked

Reaganomics and has invariablyassociated Heckler with it. Heblames Heckler for forgetting herconstituents by voting with Rea-gan in 1981 for budget cuts andlarge defense expenditures.

Most of Masssachusetts' wom-en's groups, angered by Heckler'sstands on abortion and socialspending, have endorsed Frank."We were so diappointed in her,"said Kay Doherty, Massachusettscoordinator for the NationalOraganization for Women(NOW). "She had been Fightingfor the ERA, and then she justdropped it. We, base endorse-ments on women with proven re-cords."

Both candidates have broughtin political heavyweights to boosttheir campaigns. Senator EdwardKennedy (D-Muss.) and Speakerof the House Thomas P. O'Neill,Jr. (D-Mass.) have campaignedin support of Frank, while SenateMajority Leader Howard H. Ba-ker (R-Tenn.) visited the districtto praise Heckler.

After it becare clear shewould face Frank, Heckler's posi-tions changed noticeably. Thisyear she has voted against Rea-gan's budget and defense expendi-tures - measures she voted for

in 1981. Presently, the two incum-bents' positions are fairly similaron many issues. The only majordifferences are abortion, whichFrank supports and Heckler op-poses, and defense spending,which Heckler tends to supportmore than Frank does.

Lundy. The Student Union hadan overall income of approxi-mately. $5 million last year, ofwhich student clubs and organi-zations spent about $600,000.The student activities raised a-portion of the budget, and weresubsidized $313,000, Lundy ad-ded. RPI's Union Program andActivities Council also distribut-ed about $156,000 for differentprojects.

Amherst College assessed itsstudents a $95 activities fee thisyear, according to AssistantDean for Student Affairs M. L.Farrell. The $150,000 budgetwhich is divided among about 50clubs by a student allocationsboard.

At the California Institute ofTechnology, the student govern-ment is an independent corpora-tion- the Associated Studentsof Caltech (ASC)- said ASCPresident Tim Brasey. Studentspay $45 a year for all ASC bene-fits, he said. In addition, the Cal-tech administration providesabout $25,000 for student activi-ties through the "Caltech Y," saidUndergraduate Dean DavidWales;

The MIT Undergraduate Asso-ciation (UA) has discussed pro-posals for a student activity feeset by the UA General Assembly,but has never taken any actionon the proposals.

Guglielmo Marconi wasable to see communications rev-olutionized by his developmentof the first successful system ofradio telegraphy -7 the wireless.His first experimental transmis-sions were no more than a few.feet. But, within a quarter of acentury, he had advanced hissystem to the point that a radiomessage sent from Englandcould be received in Australia.

E-Systems scientists andengineers continue to expandthe technology he began. Today,communications equipmentdesigned and developed byE-Systems engineers is usedextensively around the world forline-of-sight or satellite communi-cations, digital communicationsand applications requiring micro-

processor-based teleprinters,tactical radios and microminia-ture HEE VHF and UHF equipment.

In addition to communica-tions, E-Systems engineers aresolving many of the world'stoughest problems in antennas,data acquisition, processing,storage and retrieval systemsand other systems applications forintelligence and reconnaissance.Often, the developed systemrsare the first-of-a-kind.

I don't believe that this is a one-week problem. I'vebeen with this for 35 years. Only last year has shownrecent public interest. The last time was for the NuclearTest Ban Treaty. This is the next time. I hope the inter-est lasts long enough to make a political impact be-cause it hasn't yet. This is a long term issue, and I hopepeople stay interested.

-Philip Morrison

Morrison: "It's wrong. There has hardly ever been a4ime of such relative equality, We used to have much morestuff than they did. They have caught up. We no longerhave a five to one superiority, but it is unrealistic to thinkwe could maintain one. Superiority means nothing sincewe each have enough to destroy the other."

Q: What do you feel about the contention the Russiansare basically untrustworthy and will not follow any agree-ment we make with them?

Bernstein: "In this business of politics and policing trea-ties, we should not -rely on too much trust, It isn't good tohave blind trust; however, it also isn't good to have blindfear either. Let's look at this rationally. The Russianshave a strong rational interest in stopping the arms race.Their economy is in a mess. But we must remember thatthey still live under the shadow of World Wear 1 - oneentire generation of their men were lost."

Q: What do you think about the belief that a treatywould be unverifiable?

Bernstein: "That's nonsense. Total bans- are much easierto verify than the present agreements. We should stop alltest explosions and test mi ssile firings -this would bevery easy to verify. As an. example of how much we know,Brezhnev said that they stopped all production of the SS-20, but the-US said no. They completed the missiles theyhad already started."

Feld: "It's very funny. In deployment, we know every-thing about their missiles- their number, their accuracy,-their positions. In an agreement, all our hot verificationmethods, satellites, et eletera, suddenly become useless.Assume they have a few more, say 1020 instead of 1000;it's impossible for them to have much more and not tohave us kcnow. The whole issue of verification is a red her-ring. The idea that they can cheat significantly is ridicu-lous."

Morrison: "Untrue. Technically wrong. They [the trea-ties] are highly verifiable."

Q: What do you think of the recent surge in support for anuclear freeze?

Rathjenls: "The issue has grown enormously both in Eu-rope and in the US. The question is whether it can be sus-tained. My feeling is it has already subsided, but I hopenot. We must make these issues a matter of public con-cern: the development, use, and deploymen~t of nucleararms'.3

"i!t is very hard to sustain interest in an issue for a verylong time unless the issue has a direct impact on a largegroup of people. For example, the Nuclear Test Ban Trea-ty which prohibited atmospheric testing resulted frompeople's concern about radioactivity in the food.

"If Reagan had not been elected, had not made suchstrong statements, and had not pushed for so many newweapons, the opposition [to nuclear weapons] would notbe as strong. It is much easier to raise money now thanbefore. The Administration has such a strong position,the public is scared."

Feld: "iPeople are suddenly realizing that these thingsare dangerous. It's not just the crazy scientists anymore,but conservative people like doctors and lawyers who areworried, too. This has had an effect. It's not an accidentPresident Reagan proposed Zero Option in Europe."

Marx: "Many people are being affected by the newcomparisons to important American idealisms. For exam-ple, in Jonathan Schell's book The Fate of the Earth heputs nuclear war in the context of destruction to the envi-ronment. He poses it as the ultimate ecological problemand makes his book very powerfbl this way."

M~orrison: "I don't believe that this is a one-week prob-lem, I've been with this for 35 years. Only last year has

shown recent public interest. The last time was for theNuclear Test Ban Treaty. This is the next time. I hope theinterest lasts long enough to make a political Impact be-cause it hasn't yet. This is a long term issue, and I hopepeople stay interested."

Gavrin: ''Last year at this time we had between six andeight people at a [Disarmament Stusdy Group] meetingand this year we have between 15 and 25. Many of thefreshmen came in this year who worked on the free-ze theirsenior year. Lots of people came in and got in touch withus."1

Q: Do you fieel the UJS should spend monsew *von a C'-1(Commnand, control, commnunicafion~s and intelligencev) sn-tem?

Rathjens: "I1 think we should spend some money on C'-I to make sure we don't use the weapons by accident. A~slonsg as we have weapons, we should maintain control ofthem. My worry is that some people would feel with C'-l,we could have use of them with limited objectives- with-out escalation occuring. I worry about the people who be-lieve after spending a few billion, we can have a limitednuclear war. So I support some expenditures, however,with reservations and concern."

Feld: "fIt seems to me on one hand, we should knowwhat we are doing with the weapons and should havecommand and control. On the other hand, the idea isnothing new. We need much more stringent control overnuclear weapons than over things like artillery pieces be-cause the potential four damage is so much greater. Wemust make sure the C; is very redundant. The more vul-nerabfe the system, the more unstable the situation. Thisis why I prefer submarines to land-based missiles, they arehidden and invulnerable."

Morrison: "Yes, I do. We need better communicationswith the submarines, multiple ground bases for satellitedata tr~ansfer, duplication of certain warning and recon-naisance satellites., and quite a few other details. We mustmake it plain to everyone that a second strike is a genuineoption."

Q: Do you think the fteeze is an imsportant is~sue in thisvyears election?

M~farx: "Yes, it is. In the Frank-Heckler contest, thefreeze is a very important issue. It also is important forthe races in [Massachusetts') 6th and 12th districts as wellas the Senate race in Maine."

Q: Whly did so many faculty members suddenly decide tosupport, nuclear disarmament?

Bernstein: "What I think happened is that the support-ers for nuclear disarmament are becoming more vocal.People are joining it more. People are reacting as humansand citizens i-n trying to curtail the spread."

Q: How many members does your Faculty DisarmamenttStudy Group have?

Bernstein: "About fifteen people come to the seminarswe hold -faculty, staff, and a few outsiders. Around 25faculty members have shown interest, maybe more."

The whole issue of verification is a red herring. Theidea that they can cheat significantly is ridiculous.

In the Frank-Heckler contest, the freeze is a very im-poortant issue. It also is important for the races in IMas-sashusetts'] 6th and 12th districts as well as the Sen-ate race in Maine.

-Leo Marx

Q: How many people are in the MI1T Disarmament StudyGroup?

Gavrin: "At a typical meeting-wee have between 15 and25 people. However, we have a list of 50 and 10 people,although I'd say it's closer to 100, that we can call on."

Q: What type of freeze activities is the MIT Disarma-ment Study Group planning?

Gavrin: "No one will be working at the polls on No-vember 2, but we will be distributing leaflets and posterson the freeze. Several of our members are interested inworking for the various Congressional and Senate races.Finally, we art doing the logistics, like getting donuts,postering, et cetera, for the November I11 rally for thefreeze.

By John J. NingMassachusetts voters will vote next week on a referendumf

advising the Reagan Adminis tration to implement an imme-diate nucelear freeze' with the So'viet Union. The Tech inter-viewed six freeze supporters from MIT:- Leo Marx, Profes-sor in Science, Technology, and Societv, Aron M. Bernstein,Professor of Physics and Chairman of the Faculty Disarma-mienf Study Group, Bernard T7 Feld, Professor of Physicsand editor in chief of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,George K Rathjenls, Professor of Political Science, Profes-sor Philip Morrison, Institute Professor of Physics, and A n-drew D. Gavrin G. co-chairman of the MIT DisarmnamentStudy Group.

Q: What is the single most important reason fior a nucle-ar freeze?

Bernstein: "It is that the momentum of the arms race isso great now, and thlat the new weapons are so damagingfor ourselves. The new weapons are so offensive that theydrastically increase the threat of nuclear war. They puttremendous pressure on both sides. For example, take thePershing . I missile. It reaches Moscow, in five minutes'from their base in Western Europe. As a result both sideshave to go to a- launch-on-warning approach, and theprobability of nuclear war goes up.

"XThe freeze is a brilliant political maneuver because ithas captured the public attention and imagination. Thus,it is the most important one from that point of view, butit is not enough. It is just the first step in a process tostart nuclear disarmament."

Rathjens: "It's the most 'obvious approach to reversingthe nuclear arms confrontation between the US and Rus-sia. However, other things are just as important. But it isan object for which we all should be working -as fast aswe can."

Feld: 'i. .. In the current situation the US and theUSSR are on par, but the probability that both sides don'tescalate is very small. We are like an automobile headingtowards a precipice; the first thing is to stop.

"The problem is negotiations are so slow. Since theSALT talks started, there. has been a tripling or quadru-

piing in nucleair stockpiles. It seems to me the idea of a.freeze is an obvious one."9

Morrison: "The arms race must be brought to an-endor national security will be lost, and this seems like agood time to do it."

Q: What do you think. of President ReagansV view that ifwe freeze weapons at current levels, the US will remain per-manenwly behind the USiSR?

Rathjens: "He is just wrong. Both the US and theUSSR have so many weapons it's obscene. There is noSignificant difference between what we have. I don't thinkthat all those figures on warheads and delivery systemsare useful."

Feld: "Frankly I think it's stupid. Thle Russians don'thave a lead. The Russians are ahead in some things andwe, are ahead in' others. The US and the USSR are in astandoff in terms of absolute effect -devastating retali-atilons that could kill 50 to 100 million people. EitherPresident Reagan doesn't know what he is talking about,or he isn't leveling with us."

I think we should spend some money on C3_1 toMnake sure we don't use the weapons by accident. Aslong as we have weapons, we sho uld maintain controlOf them. My worry is that some people would feel withC3_1l we could have use of them with limited objectives- WJithout escalation occuring. I worry. about the peo-ple who believe after spending a few billion, we canhavle a limited nuclear war.

This listing of related pieces as separsolos is the most irritating aspect of thecord, since with a little work one can rcquence the entire Odeon concert set aeven make good guesses about the so-that fit aroud the solos. Zappa's usual fmat is to take an extended solo in the nodie of a song ("Yo' Mama" and "EMeat" are good examples), so some irnmmation about the songs from whichsolos were extracted would have beentremely helpful.

While there is much to carp about, tcis also much on this record to be enjoy.The old Zappa wit shines through"Variations on the Carlos Santana Sec=Chord Progression," a blistering imprcsation based on the chords from Santan"Oye Corno Va." The requisite betwe:track obscene chatter is also included; -ten the remarks provide the track titles.few of the tracks prove to be of great ihtorical interest, especially "CanardJour," a duet featuring FZ on bouzo;and Jean-Luc Ponty on electric violin t&probably dates from the Overnite Sen.tion recording sessions. "Pink Napkins-probably the oldest melodic idea on the:cord, based on a chord vamp that Zapisolated and rewrote as "Black Napkinifor Zoot Allures. In its current form it irarity, a subdued, almost mellow piece

Taken in small doses, Shut Up'n Pi1er Guitar is a welcome -change from Zapa's usual freakshow fare. When expE-ienced in its entirety, however, it is a docment of FZ's annoying tendency to even-ally release everything he ever taped, w.little regard for diversity of material. G~en-Ahe choice between this and Joe's G-rage I would take this, but if the choi=was between Shut Up and Uncle Meat Fhave to take the latter. Until then, we ccalways hope the next Zappa solo efifwill be Shut Up'n Write Songs The WaiUsed To.

David Sha

Shut Up'n Play Yer Guitar, Frank Zappaon Barking Pumpkin/CBS Import Records.

Diehard fans have lamented since FrankZappa left his brain at the bank back in1971, yet they remain fans, buying eachnew release for the few-and-far-betweenmoments of wit and instrumental imagina-tion. Many feel Zappa's excursions intoscatology and sleaze are simply a way tobankroll more esoteric ventures like thelast non-mainstream set (Sleep Dirt, StudioTan, and the incredibly disappointing Or-chestral- Favorites), which was a showcasefor FZ's big-band arrangements.

As the cream/crud ratio decreases witheach succeeding release, the diehards hopefor another revelation of the legendary(but increasingly hidden) virtuosity of theirleader. Clamor no more- the legend hasreturned with a mixed blessing for thefaithful.

Shut Up'n Play Your Guitar is a three-re-cord set of Mr. Zappa's guitar solos, re-corded both live and in the studio. Thejustification for this release is provided inthe liner notes: "While the papers andmagazines shouted the praises of everyother fashionable guitar strangler and con-demned Zappa for having the guts to singlyrics they felt were disgusting, he quietlycontinued to play things on his instrumentthat were Par more blasphemous than anywords could convey. In the rush to be of-fended by what he said, the music pressforgot to listen to what his guitar was talk-ing about. Zappa's guitar solos, as cap-tured on this album, say a lot of thingsthat just might prove embarrassing to thewriters who forgot to listen."

The only person likely to be embar-rassed is Zappa himself. While this collec-tion is miles above meretricious garbagelike You Are What You Is, it won't placehim in the ranks of "fashionable guitarstranglers" like John McLaughlin, CarlosSantana, or even his old sidekick Adrian

Belew. For although he is an excellenttechnician, Zappa's brand of jazz-rock,which he pioneered in the early seventies,has worn thin.

The bulk of the solos are culled from a1979 three-day concert appearance at theOdeon Hammersmith in London. Thethree title pieces ("Shut Up'n Play YerGuitar," "Shut Up'n Play Yer Guitar

Some More," and "Return of The Son ofShut Up'n Play Yer Guitar") provide aglimpse of Zappa's solo abilities: eachpiece is based on the same chord figure,yet he manages to give each its own identi-ty. "Gee, I Like Your Pants" should havebeen included as a tag to one of the threeworkouts, however, as it is obvously aclosing tag to the improvisation.

Richard III, performed by the Shake-speare Ensemble. .

See this performance. The ShakespeareEnsemble of MIT is living proof that theBoston area does have at least one groupthat can perform Shakespeare that way heintended.

Richard II belongs to the title charac-ter, and Richard Michalski '83 turns in amasterful performance as the Machiavel-lian murderer. He exudes sheer delight inmanipulating everyone around him, andyet his control in line delivery and bodymovement bring realism to his utterly evilcharacter. Michalski's performance leaveslittle doubt as to why Richard III remainsone of the most popular of all of Shake-speare's plays.

While a, few of his occasional pretensesof grief did seem a bit affected, Michalski'sability to emote was well demonstrated in

speare's "homage" to classical Greek trag-edies- they rant pretty much as expected.Mary Ellen Zurko gives an adequate per-formance in the tough role as the witchMargaret, and Amy Ritzenberg G presentsa remarkably trivial and unqueen-likeQueen Elizabeth, which may very well bewhat Shakespeare intended for this womanwho advances her state quite rapidly bymarrying the King Edward IV.

The Ensemble's production is full ofwell-staged scenes. Brian Rague '84 as Cla-rence gives an excellent recounting of hishellish dream before he is killed by twomarvelously tragic-comic murderers. Mi-chalski is startling when he thrusts hisWithered hand into the face of the soon-to-be-beheaded Hastings.

the impact of vs.. This is raw, powerfulmusic full of rage; one of the few recentproclamations of punk's original values,performed with a punk's vengance. Theband successfully achieves the transitionfrom the harsh white light of the stage tothe calm persisitence of vinyl, with littleloss of energy.

The album opens with "Secrets," anolder tune that is one of the highlights of alive Burma set, and most representative oftheir current sound. The song is propelledby guitarist Roger Miller's vicious, hackingrhythmic attack and Clint Conley's insis-tent bass, all backed by Peter Prescott's in-ventive drumming. Rather than signal astructure change with a drum roll, Prescottannounces a switch with a sudden explo-sion from all the drums, seemingly atonce. Also not to be ignored is the contri-bution of fourth member Martin Swopewho manipulates the ban's live sound frombehind the mixing board. Swope's tapeloops and variable-speed vocal effects.

It is after the first song that poor tracksequencing takes its toll. A frenetic roarerlike "Secrets" should not be followed by aslow, meditative tune like "STrain" -theletdown should be gradual, not abrupt.Conley's brooding ruminations seem terri-bly out of place with the rest of this mate-rial, hardly what should be expected fromthe man who penned "Academy FightSong" and "That's When I Reach for MyRevolver." The band is capable of per-forming slow tunes, as attested.by "TremTwo,"' a pensive, almost floating piece withbeautiful split-octave harmony vocals.

Despite the presence of "New Nails"(an anti-organized religion statemenrt) andthe Prescott-penned "Learn How" (a mes-sage of hope - "'Don't give up, learnhow."), side one of this disc leaves the lis-tener unsettled, as if torn between twoconflicting moods. Side two save<. every-

thing by kicking the proceedings into over-drive.

The side two opener, "Mica," is this al-bum's "Academy" - hard-hitting, clearinstrumentation and vocals should guaran-tee it hit status. "Weatherbox," anotherold standby, receives the definitive treat-ment, perfectly capturing Miller's sputter-ing feedback/tremolo guitar colorings. Iwon't pretend to understand "The Balladof Johnny Burma" and how it could possi-bly pertain to the band's name, but it's stillgreat to slam around to. A brief reprieve isprovided by the slower "Einstein's Day"(great lyrics: "Time slides through the win-dows and slips behind the walls."), andthen all hell breaks loose.

Hell in this case takes the form of "FunWorld" and "That's How I Escaped MyCertain Fate," probably the two strongestsongs from Burma's recent repertoire.Both songs go a long way to reaffirm theband's stance as angry, committed punkswith a message to deliver. While bothtunes are commentaries of the "life sucks"variety, they also speak of ways to over-come the bastards and live on one's ownterms. The contrast between "FunWorld"'s heavy metal discoid shuffle and"Certain Fate"'s loud-fast-rules overdrive(complete with grossly distorted vocals)demonstrates the diversity of Burma's tal-ents.

While it may'not be the best vehicle forexpanding the Burmas' audience, vs. suc-ceeds as an accurate, long-overdue snap-shot of an important band. Dedicated lis-tening is required at times in order toovercome Rick Harte's lapses into "wall ofmurk" production, and sheer patience isrequired to quell the impatience with ClintConley's'extremely variable writing talents.Once these obstacles are overcome, howev-er, vs. will prove to be that rarest of re-cords-a no-holds-barred raison d'&tre.

ress, succumbing to the psychological pres-sure imposed on me by a former arts edi-tor. "You should be ashamed if you don'treview the Mission of Burma LP for thisissue," he berates. I suspect he is so insis-tent only because he wants someone else'shead (namely mine) to be on the choppingblock.

Richard, and he gives a dull speech to thewinner, Richmond. 'Michalski certainly de-

livers his speech forcefully, and Pat Byrne

'85 as Richmond gives a bland speechmore typical of a football pep-rally than abattlefield.

This second-longest of Shakespeare'splays was well cut by the director, RobertL. Lane, who certainly deserves a greatdeal of credit for the staging of this play.Larch Miller and Richard Itczak also de-serve praise for the Ensemble's excellentcostumes.

It is difficult to praise this productiontoo much. Suffice it to saythat there is lit-tle indication from this performance thatthese are busy MIT students and not aprofessional acting company. The winterof your discontent will certainly be madeglorious summer after seeing this produc-tion. Joseph Romm

Don't expect too much philosophicalbabble here concerning the current state ofuniversity levity. The majority of the 226pages is comprised of actual excerpts. Theeditors have "cleaned up the grammar,corrected the spelling, omitted the dead-wood, plucked some of the metaphoricalfuzzballs off [their] proverbial sweater,and carelessly left the four-letter words in-tact."

The selections are consistently funny,but some may be offensive to certaingroups. The rich, the poor, homosexuals,Ted Kennedy, and boat people are allspoofed. If you're not included in any ofthose, don't worry- you'll find some por-tion of the book mocking. At least someof it is tasteful; the rest of it is still enter-taining.

dorsed Dukakis, and managed toget King to concede he was prob-ably closer in philosophy to Richthan to Dukakis. Nevertheless,Rich has since been unable togenerate much support or enthu-siasm.

Rich's campaign style is quiteblunt- he told students at aSouthern Massachusetts Univer-sity cafeteria he is opposed toabortion because "I've yet tomeet anyone who wanted to beaborted."

Rich, a friend of King, sup-ports limitations on state budgetsand taxation. He is opposed to anuclear freeze and in favor ofcapital punishment.

Dukakis unveiled a new eco-nomic plan for the state Monday.The plan is a summation of Du-

Proposition 21/2, the propertytax limitation approved in 1980,will work only if the state devotes40 percent of its growth tax rev-enue to local aid, Dukakis said.Sears contended that figurewould represent a cutback fromGovernor King's local aid plans.

Sears said he stands "firmlybehind restoration of capital pun-ishment," and stressed Dukakis'sopposition to the death penalty.Sears also said the state needs anew maximum-security prison.
