- Considered a resolution up-on the death of Institute Profes-sor Emeritus Arthur T. Ippen,and observed a moment ofsilence.

- Approved the selections ofthe Nominations Committee forfaculty officers and facultymembers of Standing Commit-tees.

- Considered a repot of theCommittee on Academic Perfor-mance, passing a motion bySmith to amend the FacultyRegulations on Advanced Stand-ing Examinations.

- Rejected a motion byInstitute Professor SalvadorLuria to require the committeregulating the Humanities, Arts,and Social Sciences requirementto write an explanation for itscriteria in designatingdistribution subjects under theterms of the new requirement.

- Heard an interim reportfrom the Ad Hoc Committee onGrades. Professor Roy Kaplow,chairman of that commmittee,told the faculty that he expectedthe committee to have a writtenreport prepared by early sum-mer, and to report to the facultyin detail in September.

- Discussed proposed re-visions of the MIT judicial anddisciplinary system (see the re-port printed in Wednesday'sTech Talk).

Due to the length of theagenda, President Wiesner re-cessed the meeting at 5:30prn.

The faculty meeting will re-sume next Wednesday, May 22,at 3:15, when the faculty willconsider a proposal to create theposition of "Adjunct Professor."sor."

lBy Mike McNameeA special committee to han-

dle any last-minute problems inend-of-term arrangements hasbeen appointed, Chairman of theFaculty Professor Elias Gyfto-polous reported at Wednesday'sfaculty meeting.

Gyftopolous explained to the60-some faculty members pre-sent that the committee wouldbe empowered to decide cases ofeligibility of students for degreesafter the faculty meeting of May29, at which the faculty willvote on June degree recipients.

The committee was estab-lished to avoid problems whichoccurred last year, when severalstudents who were found ineli-gible for degrees were not noti-fied until Commencement. Fearof similar occurences this yearled to faculty considerations,last November, of changes in theend-of-term calendar.

Gyftopolous announced thathe had appointed the followingmembers of the committee:

- Professor Robert Gallagherof Electrical Engineering As-sociate Chairman of the Faculty.

- Professor Arthur C. Smithof Electrical Engineering, chair-man of the Committee on Aca-demic Performance.

- Assistant Dean JeanneRichard of the Graduate School.

- Josephine Eisner of theRegistrar's Office.

- James Brady of StudentAccounts.

The meeting was sparsely at-tended. Only about 60 membersof the faculty attended themeeting, and discussion on mostitems was desultory and sub-dued.

By Norman D. SandlerAn official of the US Atomic

Energy Commission (AEC) lastweek said opponents of nuclearpower must believe nuclear pow-er plants are "the work of thedevil."

Speaking at MIT, the official,Director of the AEC ReactorSafety Division, Dr. Herbert A,Kouts, told a group of MITnuclear engineers that critics ofnuclear power take "thecuriously medieval view thatnuclear power power is thecreation of the devil and they

put it in a class by itself as athreat to mankind."

Kouts was referring to agrowing number of scientists andengineers who have asked theAEC to delay further licensingand construction of nuclearpower plants until their safetycan be proven to the Americanpublic.

One of those critics is Dr.Henry Kenda:ll. Kendall is on thefaculty of the MIT departmentof Physics, and. is a leadingspokesman for the Union ofConcerned Scientists (UCS), aCam b ridge-based group ofscientists who are actively op-posing the AEC's plans to cutnormal licensing procedures fornuclear power plants.

Presently, it takes somewherebetween seven and ten yearsbefore a nuclear power stationcan become operational andbegin generating electricity to itsfull capacity. Most of the time isconsumed in lenthy licensinghearings and construction. TheAEC wants to cut this to five orsix years, in line with the NixonAdministration's pledge ofenergy self-suficiency by theyear 1980, when an additional140 nuclear generating plants areexpected to be in operationaround the country.

However, Kendall and hisassociates want to prevent this.The UCS has claimed thatnuclear power plants are cur-rently unsafe. Based upon theirown technical assessments, theUCS says that the probability ofa major reactor accident occur-ring is much higher than theAEC will publicly admit, and itfurther insists that the con-sequences of such an accidentwould be far worse than officialAEC projections.

Kendall and the UCS havebeen studying the probability ofa catastrophic accident occurringat a nuclear power plant in theUnited States, and they haveconcluded that on the basis ofthe current rate of expansion ofthe AEC's reactor developmentprogram, the probability is goodfor such an accident in the nextfew aecades. And Kendall saysthe accident could result in thedeaths of "tens of thousands ofpeople, with tens of thousandsof square miles of landcontaminated" by radioactivityfrom the plant.

The AEC doesn't agree. Infact, the Commissiohas askedDr. Norman Rasmussen of theMIT Department of NuclearEngineering to look into the

power. As the MITR-I is primar-ily in the neutron-producingbusiness and the flux is thenumber of - neutrons passingthrough a unit area in a unittime, this represents an increasein efficiency.

The increase in flux will beachieved primarily be reducingthe size of the core, that volumein which all nuclear reactionsoccur. This core, a cylinder 20"in diameter and about two feethigh, produces five megawatts ofthermal power, but the coolingwater is too low grade (lowtemperature of about 100 F) tobe used for any purpose by theInstitute. At the same time,about. 375 quadrillion neutrons

MITR willinstcll new core

1

The Atomic Energy Commis-sion gave MIT the final go-aheadfor the modification in April of'last year. Original schedulescalled for the cessation of opera-tions in February, but problemswith the contractors supplyingnew components forced the dateto be pushed back to the end ofMay. Minor structural flawsdetected in the aluminum coretank required that it be recast;the inspectors are satisfied thathis new cast is sound.

Planning for the modificationhas been in progress for morethan five years and has sincebeen the subject of a number ofdegree theses. By the end of1970 the provisional design ofthe new core, including athorough safety analysis, had t

been completed. Negotiationswith the AEC over other pointscontinued, the review processbeing completed with the end ofthe 3C-day public notice periodlast year.

Work over this summer willprimarily involve the physicalremoval of old equipment andinstallation of the new. Whenthese systems have passed pre-operational tests satisfactorily, aseries of low power tests will beconducted to determine theexact behavior and nuclear char-acteristics of the core. When thereactor administrative and opera-tions staff is certain that the newcore is acting as expected, thereactor will return to its normalschedule of Monday-through-Friday five-megawatt operation.

The original MITR-I was aheavy-water. moderated andcooled reactor. Heavy water con-tains the deuterium isotope ofhydrogen, weighs slightly morethan ordinary water (about onepart in 6000 of sea water isheavy water), and costs about$28 a pound. The heavy waterwas used to carry away the heatproduced by the core (cooling)and to enhance the nuclear reac-tion by reducing the neutronenergies to a range where the

The new core, :M1TR-II,-' isheavy=water reflected andordinary water moderated andcooled. In MITR-II,-the expen-sive heavy water will be usedonly to reduce the leakage ofneutrons from thecore (reflec-tion).,

The modification project in-volves-removing the present coretank, reflector tank, primaryheavy-water coolant system, andother minor systems and re-placing them with new com-ponents which have been in pre-paration for more than a year.

By Greg SaltzmanMIT has paid increasing atten-

tion in recent years to socialproblem areas. The establish-ment of MIT's Energy Labora-tory, Center for TransportationStudies, and Center for PolicyAlternatives are all part of thistrend. But one of MIT's earliersocially-oriented centers, theUrban Systems Laboratory, re-mains relatively unknown.

Professor Charles Miller,Director of the Urban SystemsLaboratory, told The Tech thatone of the main roles of the Labwas to "help faculty and stu-dents get involved in urban prob-lems. We're an educational lab-oratory. We've tried to make theInstitute more people-orientedby providing seed money forvarious projects."

The largest single focus of theLab has been on urban trans-portation problems. However,

the Lab has also had projectsdealing with housing, healthdelivery, environmental prob-lems, and computer modelling ofurban systems.

"A main characteristic of theLab," Miller noted, "is its inter-disciplinary nature. The Lab pro-vides a framework -- f- r peoplefrom different departments toget together."

In order to maintain thisinterdisciplinary nature, the sizeof the Lab's permanent staff has-been kept small. With the ex-ception of a core staff of about adozen people, all of the Lab'sstaff has been drawn from the

Plans for the new sports cen-ter are deliberately vague at thispoint, Smith explained. "Untilan architect comes in and wegive him our specifications andhe draws up plans, I can't saywhfiat the thing will be like ex-cept in general terms," he said."We want to restrict the archi-tect as little as. possible."

The center will be built be-hind Rockwell Cage; overlappingthe current locations of the out-door track and hockey rink.Demolition of the rink and re-location of the track will be oneof the first steps in work for thecenter.

Smith estimated that thetrack will be moved over onesummer, and that the rink willbe out of operation for aboutone year. It would probably benecessary to rent time elsewherefor intercollegiate hockey, Smithsaid, "We will have to resolvemany problems of interim ad-justment."

By Stephen BlattA one-year pilot program will

be established starting July 1which could lead the way to theestablishment of an MIT WritingCenter, bringing together facultyand students interested inwriting.

The proposed Center would,in the words of Lecturer JosephBrown; Professors ElisabethCh odakowska, Patricia Cum-ming, Sanford Kaye and RobertRathbone of the Humanities-De-partment; and Seth Racusen '74and Ken Skier '74, provide"systematic instruction inwriting matched by an increasingawareness of the utility ofwriting skills, would meet theneeds of students interested inwriting and enhance the imageof MIT as a university effectivelycombining sciences with liberalarts."

The pilot program, to be con-tinued both terms next year, willinclude writing seminars,courses, and teacher trainingseminars in technical writing.

In addition,one of the concentration fieldsin the new. Humanities, Arts andSocial Sciences requirement willbe creative writing, and newCourse XXI majors in Writingand Literature and a joint majorin Writing and Science or Writingand Engineering will be offered,starting with the class of'75. The Writing Center wouldinclude eight full-time-teachers,office space for the faculty andadministrators, 4a commoh~room,a lab room with recordingbooths, typing carrels, and awriting area, and a room forreadings and other functions.The proposals also suggests prox-imity to a "Visible LanguageWorkshop" which has also beensuggested.

Skier will be working nextyear in the program,.helping toset up a UROP program foranyone interested in aspects ofwriting, designing a WritingProcess subject and aiding infund-raising and other adminis-trative duties.

"People at MIT have towrite," said Skier. "Whilethey're here they don't realizethat they. have to learn towrite." He added that MITstudents need not have "to write

poems or plays. They have tolearn the kind of writing theywill do" professionally.

In addition, "by avoiding thepatchwork quality of remedialwriting programs and the in-sularity of creative writingcourses, the Writing Centerwould offer the Institute "a far-reaching plan to serve the educa-tional and professional objec-tives of every undergraduate."MIT students would- "achievethe same order of proficiency inthe uses of the English language"as in science and engineering.

The Rasmussen report willnot be released until late thissummer. However, he says thaton the basis of his work, theprobability that a majoraccident, involving the meltingof the radioactive reactor core, isone in one million.

This puts the projections ofKendall and Rasmussen in directconflict. Rasmussen insists thatthe probability of an accident isso low it should not impede thenation's reactor developmentprogram, whereas Kendall hascalled for a moratorium onreactor construction untiladequate assurances are madethat the probability 'of majorreactor accidents is sufficientlyhigh.

throughout the country.Daniel Ford, an MIT graduate

student in political science, sin-gle-handedly cl'osed downBoston Edison Company'sPlymouth (Massachusetts) nuclearpower station earlier this year,charging the configuration of theplant's fuel elements posed ahazard to the public.

The AEC refused to keep theplant closed, rejecting Ford'scontention that the "eight byeight" configuration of fuel-rodswas dangerous. However, thePlymouth station is still closed,and is expected to remainshutdown until next month atthe earliest.

There have been numerousreports of nuclear power plantdefects. However, the overallissue of whether or not theplants are inherently safe has notbeen resolved. On one side havebeen Kendall, Ford and theUCS, while on the other side isthe AEC, which later this yearwill be basing its claims on theRasmussen study.

"Normally," said Miller, "in-terdisciplinary labs involve pro-jects that are too big for onedepartment. In our case, manyof the projects that started aspart of the interdisciplinary labhave now developed into sub-stantial department efforts.We've been basically a spinoffoperation. A lot more people,including many from the en-gineering departments, are nowinvolved in socially relevantareas as a result."

According to Miller, when theUrban Systems Lab was foundedin 1968, "there was the antici-pation · that urbqn :iproblemswould .be approached on thebasis-- of large scale, mission-oriented projects, as in the spaceprogram. These large scale pro-jects never came .about becauseof funding limitations. HUDnever became the research equiv-alent of the Defense Depart-ment.

Miller added, "There's been achangeover from the originalpremise that we would bringexisting skills to bear on urbanproblems to the idea that every-one is suddenly a new studentagain and must learn about these

problems .from scratch. Therehave been a few fairly technicalprojects, such as our study ofpersonal rapid transit systems.But for the most part, we havenot produced gadgets to solveurban problems."

Am average of 30 to 50faculty and 100 students areinvolved with the Lab at anygiven time. A relatively highproportion of these students areundergraduates, since there arefew technical prerequisitesneeded for work on urban prob-lems.

"There is room for the ex-pert," Miller explained, "butthese are not the kinds of pro-blems that will be solved by theexperts. They will be solved bypeople from all sorts of vantagepoints just working hard."

Miller continued, "The Lab isbasically a collection of prsojectsand programs, each of which hasits own lifetinme and lifestyle.The Lab itself is in the back-ground.

"That still holds,"ded, "We should bebout the prospectsthrough solutions.

By Storm Kauffman-DIanger! Warning! The end of the term

has arrived. Stop tooling and shift intosummer-job, no-think mode.

For this, my last column of the term, Ipondered what topic I should address.After many a malice of four thoughts, I:hit upon a brilliantly diabolic scheme: todo what I do best (worst?), what I havebeen practicing all term, make as littlesense as possible.

With four tests still facing me, thisshould be easy. I, ike most MIT students,lost my mind many a moon ago, and thatisthe only way in which i hold on to mysanityt,

Of couse, the typical last words in thelast issue are some sort of ousing yea orterm in review, but then you probablydont want to be reaindeda that MIT,jakedm up rents and tuition, that you gotaick at Aerosmith, that someone got sick'on you at Aerosath, - that they're ad.mitting 200) women now that you'veafound a Sla friend, that you're graduatingnow that they've admitted 200 women,that re been awriting these 123 inchcolumswS a term (24, count 'em 24)instead of running another Wizard of Id,that Baker of all places will go coed nextyear,.: that you couldan't find. gas, thatthey've messed with the humanities re-quoirement- and probably invalidated allyour petitions, that Nixon hasn't re-signed, that the World's Biggest Yo-Yowasn't and even if it was it didn't, thatDraper is moving to Tech Square, thatyou couldna't remember what happenedthe night before the afternoon of themorning after, that you still have finalsnext week.

The Managing Editor just looked at,this column and swore he wouldn't allowsuch drivel in his paper. I'll just ignorehim - everyone does.

After rejecting the review, I thdught ofthe possibility of following in the inimicalfootsteps of my most recently deceased(almost) predecessor-by composing anode to The Tech and its staff, entitled"The term ends, the newspaper should."However, I'm not stupid, just crazy. But,in order not to spare you, I'll give youallan idea of just -what an atypical bunch ofnon-tools we are by listing, in no randomorder, the courses of doom chosen by thestaph. We havre at least a couple of civilengineers, more than five political sci-entists (would you like to buy one?), twourbane studiers and planners, amechanical/nuclear engineer ("I want toblow up the world"), a defecting elec-trical engineer (they always do) and onewho isn't (he must be sick), a pre-med(gynecology or proctology), a pre-law (ora half), a computer hacker, a few mis-management or humanities types, an un-designated (the only honest man of thegroup), and a few who don't even tell ustheir names.

The Executive Editor just looked atthis column and swore he wouldn't allowsuch, such, such.... I suggested theword "drivel."

We must be losing our touch here atSlander City (yes, I know libel is printed,but slander is assonant - aren't we all?),we don't seem to have terminally of-fended anyone in a month. What's thematter, don't you hate us any more?These fascist tactics have to stop! (Ourassistant ad manager requested that I-include that line though our News Editorrepudiates this paragraph.)

Just for your information, there isn'tgoing to be a Daily Reamer this term,since we used up all our poor taste duringthe term

The Chairperson just looked at thiscolumn and swore ...

Dinin g.. whlBy Storm Kauffman

Editor-in-Chief .The MIT Dining Service will be taking

over from Stouffer's the day-to-dayoperation of its facilities on July I. Thismanagerial realignment will not just causeproblems but can also provide an oppor-tunity for a great deal of 'innovativeimprovements.

For students, the area of most im-mediate concern is prices - the cost ofcommons contracts and individual meals.The rates for the next year were an-nounced two weeks ago(The Tech, May?) for the regular meal plan and two new,experimental options. For yet anotheryear, these prices seem exorbitantly high-far more expensive than feeding your-

iself atabouit an average of $1.76 perimeal'(14 weeks of l 5 meals for $3/0). At thatrate, it's even cheaper to eat within thesystem but off commons if you don'tsoften take advantage of the unlimitedsecond&

Director of Housing and Dining Ser-vices IH Eugene Braimer explains therasons why the rates are what they areand why they are really not as- high asthey appear

Ever since MIT dmpped compulsorycommons in' 1971, the dining facilities.have been under utilimd. Basically, itwould cost no more to feed nearly twiceas many people as now Be commons.This is because the Fxed costs- openinga dining faciity each day, paying thestaff, using and. depreciating the equip-ment - remains essentially constant untila larger staff is required. The food is anincremental expense not as significant asthe fixed costs at the level of u ilizationat MIT.

For examnple, Brammer pointed toHarvard which operates a compulsorysystem with 5600 (there are only about750 contracts at MIT) on a 21-meal plan.He also pointed out that of ten uni-versities similar to the Institute (like Yale,Princeton, Cornell) only one besides MIThad no form of a compulsory system. Infact, when annually confronted by thenew dining rates (which he admits are fartoo high), Chancellor · Paul Gray suggeststhat Brarnmer consider a return to somesort of compulsory commons. Bramnmerhas always resisted this move oan thegrounds that the students would notstand for it. Compulsory plans, especiallythose 21l-day plans which cover week-ends, suffer from much greater absen-teeism than occurs at MIT, and thereforethe subscribers are actually paying moreper meal than they think they are.

Rates at the Institute might be re-duced if the level of service was cut back.This method was used in the past whenMcCormick dining hall was closed downfor all but lunch (1972), and whenAshdown was closed completely becauseof high unit costs and deterioration ofkitchen equipment (1973, and Lobdellwas put back on a 3-meal schedule toreplace Ashdown). However, Bramnmerand the MIT administration feel theyhave a commitment to the students andthe community to maintain a certain levelof service and are reluctant to close downany more of the facilities.

Increasing utilization is practical;Brammet estimated that, though Lobdellat lunch is almost saturated, up to a-nother hundred customers could be ac-comodated. Walker could handle a greatlyincreased load, and the Baker and Mac-Gregor dining halls could probably servetwice the two hundred they now do.There is room in the system for morepeople on commons; the difficulty isinducing students to sign up,

The meaning of these economic con-

fractionally (the cost of the extra. food).Unfortunately, the system is presently inthe circular situation where most studentsshy away from commons because of theprices and, because -so few buy thecontracts, the rates must stay high.

Of course,. students on commons getmore than they' see. Brainmer stressesthat MIT gets the best quality food andbest cuts of .meat. (Me top sirloin forroast beef), and some of it may beunavailable in supermarkets. Ad-dditionally, assuming a student eats-the,whole meal, he should be getting abalanced diet as certified by the diningserice dieticians. The question of properstudent nutrition is one that -has worriedadministrators,. including .Gray, but theyhave.-- no input on which -to base any'conclusion.

New managementIt is unlikely that-MIT's replacing

Stouffers as the operator -will make anoticeable difference in prices. However,the rrganization will be major, andBrammer has a number of experiments tosuggest to the new General Manager.

The system is under control -of aGeneral Manager and a Chief Dietician.-

.Then each unit has its own supervisorystaff and hourly employees In theStudent Center, John McNeil is an- MIT,empioyee and the manager of the'units inthat building. He-witl be stayi'ng The:Asstant Manatge, Food'- Production'Supervisor -Assistant Food ProductionSupervisor, and Pantry Supervisor are allStouffers employees, and these positionswill- have to be flled. In Walker, only thepresently vacant Pantry Supervisorposition was staffed by Stouffers so thesupervisory personnel there willstay on.Sue Ring, Manager/Supervisor in Baker,and Cindy Haie, Manager/Supervisor inMacGregor, are both Stouffer's em-ployees. Brarnmet indicated that; thoughMIT had promised not to attempt to hirdany employees away from Stouffers, twohave expressed an interest irn staying andwill be considered with all other appli-cants. Brammier stressed that he wants"the best qualified personnel I can get"-for these positions, and four requisitionsfor the jobs in the Student Center havebeen submitted to MIT Personnel. Theseand the Walker position should be filledby July while September is the deadlinefor the dorm dining halls.

Most of this reorganization is behindthe scenes. The customer who walks intoa hall next fall will not likely notice anydifference. The staff structure will besimilar and there will be no change in thestyle of operations in this first termbecause the transition will be smoother if.everyone starts off with the system towhich they are accustomed.

But .Brammer definitely forseeschanges in the future. He does not wantto be "locked into a problem in thesystem," though he does recognize that"there will be a lot of problems." How-ever, he looks on these difficulties as

Amidst all this glowing hope, there arelikely to be attractions which some stud-ents -and membern of the community willappreciate Hoayever, despite all -otherincenties, the best can only.be a reduc-tion in contract and single meal prices.Hopefully, the new General Manager willwork t oward this end.

WASHINGTON, D.CG., May 15, 1974- Rife rumors rippled round recently.When the true nature of the Nixon tapetranscripts finally hit home last week, theavalance of Republican sentiment forimpeachment and/or resignation startedrolling. -

Previouslyi. Republican representativesand Senators. had been reluctant to dis-avow the alleged Republican who todaydisgraces this nation's ,highest office byhis continued presence therein. Afterthese august personages had read andgrasped ,the criminality manifested by theconversations revealed in the transcripts,they were left with no course other. thanto abandon Richard Nioxn. To do other-wise would be a further disgrace, demean,and drag through the mud the office ofthe Presidency. The current occupant isbeyond further disgrace. His moral ob-tuseness is, and has been, abundantlyplain for anyone possessed of reasonablywell functioning senses. Most in thiscountry chose not to believe their sensesin-.the last.-Prredentia -election. Somehave been congnizant of Nixon's truenature since the 'California bampaigns of1946 and 195Of (on a recent b1uttonappearing -in California: ;'Donlt blameme, I voted for-Helen Gahgang 0g6lias").

Preliminary countsAs in most imiportant matters coming

before the Congress, preliminary votecounts are made of those on either side ofan issue. It is a foregone conclusion thatRichard Nixon will be impeached by theHouse of Representatives. The guess isthat this will probably occur in Augustalthough the vote may be delayed by theWhite House, which allegedly wants toget Watergate behind the country and geton with the business of the people, untilSeptember. The best estimate at this timeis that a vote on the issue is the Senatewill occur no earlier than two monthsafter the vote in the House which meansOctober or November at t-he.earliest. Thisraises the specter of an impeachment trialbeing conducted up to and possibly pastthe time of this fall's Congressional elec-tions. Such a prospect can only cheer thehearts of the Democratic leadership, sincethe longer Watergate can be kept on thefront burner the more likely it is thatmany Republican seats will fall to theDemocrats in the off-year elections.

Assuming all one hundred senatorsexercise their right to vote on the matterof Nixon's culpability for the articles ofimpeachment finaily voted by the House,67 votes would be required to remove theincubent unindicted criminal from office,and 34 votes would be required to enablehim to hold on to the office he hasmanaged to carry down into the gutterover the last five years. Where will DickNixon get the votes?

Prior to the tidal wave of Congressmenhopping on the impeachment/convictionand/or resignation bandwagon last week,it was possible to eke out slightly morethan 34 senators who might be willing tovote to maintain one of the most immoralPresidencies in history (clerics on thePresident's payroll not withstanding).Several weeks ago, Senator JamesBuckley (Cons.-N.Y.) with great fanfareannounced that he thought Nixon shouldresign without any presumption of guiltor innocence attaching to such a move.Thus, assume for the moment that allsenators as conservative or more conser-vative than Buckley decided to supportRichard Nixon. Measuring conservatismby the rating published by the Americansfor Democratic Action (ADA), one finds35 votes for the President. (Buckley ADArating is 10.) Those included as Presi-dential supporters who had ADA ratingsgreater than 10 or without ratings were:Democrats Johnston (la.) and Long (La.)and Republicans Griffin (Mich.), Domenici (N.M.), Helms (N.C.), and Bartlett(Okla.). It should be noted that SenatorsTalmadge (ga.) and Ervin (N.C.) hadADA ratings as conservative as Buckley'sand were thus counted as against aconviction in the Senate. However, itseems reasonable to assume that, giventheir service on the Senate's Select Com-mittee on Presidential CampaignActivities, otherwise known as the Water-gte Committee, Ervin and Talmadge

'might consider voting against Nixon.i+E. v r· vR w·r-) · >Y r X r N n c v e n r o <7uc\

After the tape transcripts had beendigested both by the congressmen andtheir constituents the above calculationwas invalidated due to various defectionsfrom the Godfather's side to that of thosewho wish to protect and preserve theintegrity of the office of the President ofthe United States of America

Were a vote to occur today in theSenate, it appears that Richard Nixon

-could expect fewer than the; 34 votes he:will need to stayin office. Presently, theparty strength in the Senate is: 57 Demo-crats, one Independent (Harry Byrd ofVirginia formerly a Democrat), 41Republicans, and one conservative(Buckley of New York who usually alignshimself with the Republican caucus).

At this time, it seems possible that the -following Democrats might be willing to

·vote for Richard Nixon: Sparkman (Ala),Allen (Ala.), McClellan (Ark.), Long(La.), Johnston (La.), Eastland (Miss.),Stennis (Miss.), Bible (Nev.), Cannon(Nev.), Byrd (Va.), -Byrd (W.Va.), andMcGee (Wyo.). Of these twelve men, thefirst six are probably,- as of this writing,solidly for Nixon and. the last six are atbest marginal for Nixon. Thus, the Demo-crats would muster somewhere. between52 and.46 to throw the last of the rascalsout. ·Which, Republicans -could-. be.-ex-pected: to vote to purgeltheir party of this,clear and present danger.to its continuedviable existence and to theirjobs?

Currently, Stevens (Ala.), -Weicker(Conn.), Rotb. (Del.), Percy (Ill.), Pearson(Kan.), Doles_ (Kan.), Cook (Ken.),Miathias (Md.), Brooke (Mass.), Case(N.J.), Javits (N.Y.), Buckley (N.Y.),Young (N.D.), Taft (Ohio, Hatfield(Ore.), Packwood (Ore.), Scott (Penn.),Schweiker (Penn.), Baker (Tenn.), Brock(Tenn.), Aiken (Ver.), and Stafford (Ver.)have either declared they are of theopinion that Richard Nixon should resignor be impeached, have been grievouslywronged by the now disposed WhiteHouse Berlin Wall of H..R. (Bob) Haldemanand John' Erlichman, or have futurenational political' ambitions (i.e. Baker,Brock, Percy, and Taft). Thus, these 22votes, added to what seems to be anirreducible Democratic minimum of 46,yields at least 68 votes to remove RichardNixon from office.

To add to .the pressures for a voteagainst Nixon, Democrats Allen, Long,Bible, and Republicans Goldwater (Ariz.),Dominque (Colo.), and Gurney (Fla.-recently indicted on state charges ofcampaign law violations and under federalgrand jury investigation on similarcharges) are up for reelection this fall. Inshort, it appears that, barring therevelation of some truly exculpatory evi-dence, which the tape transcripts clearlywere not, there are not enough votes, inthe Senate to keep Nixon in office.Beyond the tapes

Two other matters deserving ofmention at' this time. First,what kind of mentality could believe thatutterly damning transcripts would beaccepted and believed? There was grow-ing evidence that the transcripts are notcomplete and that more damaging infor-mation will emerge if the (unintelligibles),(inaudibles), and (not related to Presi-dential action) sections are transcribed. Interms of Nixon's Six Crises typology, therelease of the transcripts was the master-stroke which should have ended the crisis.However, the White House. staff was soout of touch with current realities thatthey believed that a pure public relationsploy could work. The gambit failedmiserably.

White House Chief of Staff and formerArmy Vice Chief of Staff AlexanderHaig and Press Secretary Ron Zeiglerhave been telling lies for so long that theymay have finally come to believe them.But at the middle and lower levels of theWhite House bureaucracy, there is agrowing realization that their leader hascommitted crimes, such an obstruction ofjustice and aiding and abetting perjury,which are both indictable and im-peachable offenses. The Republicans willbe decimated if the Impeachment processis permitted to extend into the fallelection campaigns. The Democratsrealize this and thus are willing to perser-vere and leave it to the Republicans toorganize the committee which must makethat long trefl taOw`n Pennsylvania Avenue

to inform Richard Nixon that his partyhas abandoned him just as he abandonedit during his 1'972 campaign.

Finally, there are growing allegationsof monetary improprieties with respect toNixon. There are the monies funneledthrough Charles G. (Bebe) Rebozo whichnow include at least the $100,000 fromHoward Hughes and $50,000 from theWinn-Dixie Supermarket- Chain.. NDiscreetinquiries are being made of the C(Josmos-Bank in Switzerland -to determine ifRichard Nixon has a numbered account

:there. AI Capone and Spiro Agnew werefinally convicted on charges of illegalfinancial dealings (i.e: taxes); ultimatelythe same fate may await Richard Nixon.That is not to say these are the only

crimes he may have committed; it imerely that they are easier to prove in asociety that values money and propertyhighly and keeps detailed records of itstransmission and handling.

On December 6, 1973, this correspon-dent estimated that Nixon ;would nolonger be in' office by June 6, i 974. Thattime is 'rapidly approaching.-.The placecan only quicken from this p6int in time,as they say in the White" House. IfRichard Nixon is to resign with a shred of 'respectability left, he will have to do itbefore actions by the House and Senatemake his removal imminent. Time isrunning out.

Each. nominee 'has alwaysbeen considered on the basis of his or her(or its, in the case of a group) own merits.The number of Compton winners .hasusually ranged from five to eight; I don'tknow why there were only three thisyear. Furthermore, the Committee doesnot "follow a rigid pattern" of presentingComptons to seniors only. Many winnershave been graduate students, and juniorsor even sophomores have won them onmany occasions. However, the Comptonaward is intended to connote "lasting andsustained contributions to the quality oflife at MIT," usually in several areas; Thisimplies that it should reflect a student'swholecareer here. The Stewart award, onthe other hand, is designed to recognize aquite specific achievement whose timeduration may be short, and thus theaward could well be won by a freshman.In addition, many people who have justmissed out on a Compton one year, orhave received a Stewart instead, havegone on to win a Compton the followingyear.

As for the selection procedure, untilthe late 1960's the CSE itself functionedas a selection committee. In order tobroaden the range of community repre-sentatives, a formula was devised in 1969to include four undergraduates, two grad-uate students, three faculty members, andtwo representatives from the Dean'sOffice. Undergraduates were seniorsselected by a purely random procedure,subject only to the constraints that eachcome from a different department anddifferent living group, and that they hadbeen at MIT for the last four years, sothat they would be reasonably knowl-edgable as to who had made a genuinecontribution. This should represent apretty broad range of interests. The com-mittee does not initiate nominations, butconsiders all submitted from outside. Apreliminary screening is held, then a finalmeeting in which the actual selection ismade. Between these meetings efforts aremade to get further information abouteach candidate. I have always been im-pressed by the fact that all final decisionswere virtually unanimous, albeit aftermuch debate. I think it would be a greatmistake to reveal the names of the"losers." This could only create invidiouscomparisons and jealousies.

I hope this will answer "the majorcomplaint is that no one outside of theaward committees seems to have any ideaof how or why the winners are selected."I'm sure that all the committee membersagree with you that they would like theawards to be more meaningful, and willbe grateful for any constructive sugges-tions.

>oop CGreditTo the Editor:

I'm writing today not to address theeditor of The Tech but to address em-ployees and members of the HarvardCooperative Society. I'm writing for tworeasons, both of which are interrelated.

First, in early April I lost my Coopcard. I reported it lost as soon as Irealized, (which was four days later) buttoo late as I recently found out. I am nowliable for over $200 worth of fraudulentpurchases.

To the employees of the Coop, whydid none of you check the signature onthe card against the one on the chargeslip? There were almost 15 purchases, andnot once did the signatures match. If youdid check, why did you allow the pur-chase to be completed when they didn'tmatch.

To the members of the Coop, beextremely aware of two things: 1) if youlose your card, there is a high probabilitythat someone not totally honest will findit (the temptation'to take advantage ishigh) and2) that the Coop will make noeffort to prevent fraudulent purchases (orthe effort they make will be minimal -an example follows).

This Saturday, I was at the HarvardCoop. I made three purchases with mynew card. One time the clerk checkedboth the signature and the list of lostcards. One time the clerk checked thesignature only because I left the card onthe counter & turned over (signature up),and checked the list only because I saidshe hadn't. The third purchase was a realdisaster. The clerk checked neither signa-ture nor list. I blew up, which is out ofcharacter for me, but not out of placeconsidering my $200 debt. She said shewas sorry, but (and here's the topper) shedidn't even have a list to check.

I want to address just one .moreperson. To the S--HEAD, who screwedme (and to all other dishonest Americansand foreigners, no matter what race,creed, or sex): F--YOU!

The DaveCourtney-Leo Sayer songwriting duo may well prove tosupplant Bernie Taupin and Elton John as THE popwriters of the late seventies (now with a Roger Daltryalbum and a Three Dog Night hit, "The Show Must Go,On," under their collective belt); Silverbird establishesSayer as an artist to be reckoned with in his own right.Roller Maidens From Outer Space- Phil Austin(Epic) A,madcap compendium of religion, Watergate, Fiftiestelevision, and C&W. The other three Firesigners alsoappear, among others. The hits just keep on comin'.Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan (ABC/Dunhill) This is thethird excellent album by these West/East Coast bizarros;as usual, there is an outstanding single - "Rikki Don'tLose That Number" - sandwiched amidst the remainderof this record-full of unique, weird-lyricked, conciselittle tunes.

and "Tokyo" succeeding the best.

Euphrates River- Main Ingredient"Just Don't Want To Be Lonely" andare OK, but the rest is pfffffffft.

(RCA) The single"Sumnmer Breeze"

Steely Dan

Genesis Live (Buddah) Finally, Buddah cashes in onGenesis' burgeoning success with this US release of asuperb record (especially "The Musical Box" and"Watcher Of The Skies") that has been available in whatis most assuredly a better import pressing for over ayear.

Here Come 77e Warm Jets - Eno (Island) Roxy Music'sformer electronics wizard has produced a disc thatsmacks of early Roxy efforts (only more bizarre), theAndy Warhol-era Velvet Underground, and a dementedsort of creativity that cannot be overlooked.No Pussyfooting- Fripp and Eno (Island) Two side-filling songs make up this experiment in timbre, dy-namics, and skirting on the edge of deep slumber at thehands of two of the most notorious ladies' men in all ofBritish rock.

Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet - Slade (WamrnerBros.) Slade attempts to branch out from its style ofthunderous raunch; only on the Beatle-ish "When TheLights Are Out" does their new approach really click.

16 and Savaged -Silverheead(MCA) Can't really decideabout this band, one of the most spectacularly dull ofthe heavy rockers. Always last on everybody's list, buton the list every time.. . .... Keith Reid of Procol Htarum

THET-ECH FRIDAY. MAY 17,1974 PAGE 7

L -- __._ In II ---

The month of May has thus far brought a diverse assortment ofrock music into Cambridge and Boston. Earlier in the month,Robin Trower (below) dazzled two sell-out crowds at the Per-formance Center; the following week, Sandy Denny and FairportConvention (with Dave Swarbrick and Dave Pegg picturedto the right below) played a delightful set at Sanders Theatre.Last Monday was expected to keep things going, with the re-scheduled Mott the Hoople/Queen concert; But Queen cancelledand Mott (with Ariel Bender and Ian Hunter shown to the right)was sloppy, excessive, and boring.

The musical groups here at MIT havehad a very good year. The MIT Sympho-ny Orchestra under David Epstein con-tinues to present challenging repertoireand to play with a technical ease and richtone that would make many professionalensembles proud. (The Symphony pre-sents its final concert of the seasontomorrow night in Kresge Auditorium.)Under John Oliver's direction, the MITGlee Club, the MIT Choral Society, andthe MIT Schola Cantorum have all pre-sented excellent concerts; the Schola, anew organization, has been especiallysatisfying. Another new ensemble oncampus, the MIT Chamber Music Society,directed by Marcus Thompson and BillDraper, has created new opportunities forinstrumental players to engage in profes-sional-caliber performances of chambermusic, and its activities will be greatlyexpanded next year.

Elsewhere in the area, the New Eng-land Conservatory Chorus and the Har-vard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum con-tinue to be standouts among collegechoral ensembles. Under the direction ofF. John Adams, the combined chorusesof Harvard and Radcliffe, together with amostly student orchestra, gave a powerfulperformance of the Beethoven MissaSolemnis, one of the most challengingworks in the choral repertory.

Boston's amateur choral societies, in-cluding the Handel and Haydn Society,Chorus Pro Musica, and the CantataSingers, have all had successful seasons.Phil Kelsey, the new conductor of theCantata Singers, has maintained theirunfailingly high standards while expand-ing their repertoire.

Seiji Ozawa's music directorship hasalready had an audible positive effect onthe Boston Symphony Orchestra. TheBSO is playing consistently better than inrecent years, and the spirit of the playersseems higher as well. The Boston CivicSymphony is being transformed from atypical amateur orchestra, (run for theenjoyment of the members), to a realmusical force in Boston, thanks to the-.. . . - . - - . . . I . . . . . . I .

thought-provoking interpretive ideas ofits new music director, Benjamin Zander.The Boston Philharmonia continues tohave internal difficulties as well as finan-cial ones, but its new home at theNational Theatre in the Boston Center forthe Arts is a great acoustical success andthe orchestra seems to be attracting a newand large audience.

The Boston area has long been a centerfor early music. Joel Cohen's Cameratahas given a series of exceptional concertsthis season at the Museum of Fine Artsand Sanders Theatre, and it may well bethe early music ensemble in America withthe disbanding of the New York ProMusica. The Cambridge Society for EarlyMusic continues its pioneering efforts,presenting outside groups and individualsas well as its own chorus and orchestraunder Iva Dee Hiatt. A newcomer to thescene, the Brandeis Chamber Orchestra, isthe area's first professional orchestra spe-cializing in performance of baroque andclassical music on period instruments.Led by Robert Koff of Brandeis, (former-ly of the Juilliard String Quartet), theorchestra is a welcome addition to musicin the Boston area, and its concerts havebeen quite successful from a musical andattendance standpoint.

Boston's active musical life providesmany opportunities for performers andlisteners, and helps to uphold the charac-terization of Boston as the "Athens ofAmerica."

The Boston Symphony Orchestramoves wtst for eight weeks in the sum-mer, playing three programs a week at itssummer home, the Berkshire Festival atTanglewood. Tanglewood is the oldestmajor music festival in America, and islocated on a magnificent 210-acre estatestraddling the towns of Lenox and Stock-bridge at the western edge of Massachu-setts (it is about 130 miles from Bostonand the same distance from New YorkCity). BSO concerts are played in a largestructure known as the Music Shed,which seats about 5,000 people insideand has open sides and back so thatpeople on the lawn beyond can hear theorchestra as well (with the aid of a littlediscreet amplification outdoors). BostonSymphony programs are printed in theSunday Globe and Sunday New YorkTimes, and are available from SymphonyHall.

Aside from the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, Tanglewood is also host to theBerkshire Music Center, a summer train-ing program for gifted young musicians.Orchestras, chamber ensembles, and solo-ists, from the Berkshire Music Center

perform for the public on weeknights andduring the days on weekends; schedulesfor most BMC activities are printed in theSunday papers each week of the seasonfor the subsequent week's programs. TheBMC orchestra is of astoundingly highquality-I have heard them outdo theBoston Symphony in Stravinsky's Rite ofSpring when both groups played the workon subsequent evenings under the sameconductor.

Tanglewood is easily reached by carfrom Boston or New York, and busservice, is run by several companies. Fri-day and Saturday concerts of the BSO arelate, and in general one should plan onstaying in the area for the weekend inorder to hear them. (There are statecampgrounds as well as hotels and guesthouses, but reservations must be madewell in advance, especially for the mostpopular weekends.) The Sunday after-noon concert makes a good day's outing,and a picnic lunch on the lawn is adelightful way to enjoy the scenery andclean air.

Out of twenty-four Boston Symphonyconcerts it is difficult to pick out "high-lights." Certainly the event of the seasonis the Koussevitzky Centennial, in honorof the late music director of the BostonSymphony and founder of Tanglewood,Serge Koussevitzky. Three different or-chestras (the Berkshire Music CenterOrchestra under Gunther Schuller, theWorld Youth Symphony under LeonardBernstein, and the Boston Symphonyunder Aaron Copland and Seiji Ozawa)will present a full evening of music (from6 l'm to about 11:30) on July 26-ticketsfor this special program are at higher thannormal prices, and are nearly gone al-ready. All six of the Bach BrandenburgConcerti will be given under the directionof noted Bach specialist Karl Richter onJuly 12 and 14; Tchaikovsky's seldom-performed opera Eugene Onegin will beconducted by Seiji Ozawa as part of anall-Tchaikovsky weekend (8/17), and theclosing concert will present Schoenberg'scolossal Gurrelieder on August 25 underOzawa's direction.

Admission to the lawn costs $3.50 fornormal concerts ($5.00 for the Kousse-vitzky Centennial), and seats in the shedrange from $4.50 to $10.00 ($6.50 to$25.00 for the Koussevitzky concert).Shed seats are available by mail fromSymphony Hall until June 14 and directfrom Tanglewood (Lenox, MA 01240)after that date, as well as through theTicketron system. Lawn passes are soldon the day of the concert only.

The classical recording industry showssigns of renewed life and vigor in severalareas at present. RCA Red Seal, whichhas been content to repackage old record-ings in "greatest hits" aggregations andoccasionally re-record some old chestnutswith Ormandy and the Philadelphians,has hired one of the co-directors ofColumbia Masterworks, Thomas Z. Shep-ard, to direct its musical activities,, achange which promises greater activityfor RCA in the classical field. ColumbiaRecords, having fired its President, CliveDavis, in the wake of the recent "drug-ola" scandals, has brought back GoddardLieberson to fill that position again.Lieberson was responsible for many ofthe most courageous and artistically im-portant projects of Columbia in the past,including the Stravinsky conducts Stra-vinsky and Copland conducts Coplandseries, and he has promised a change fromthe purely money-oriented philosophythat his company has followed morerecently. The recording work of DeutscheGrammophon here in Boston is continu-ing and expanding, having apparentlyproduced both artistic and commercialsuccess.

The past year has seen a growth infour channel quadraphonic recording, butnot as large an expansion as had beenhoped and predicted. Consumer uncer-tainty over alternative systems of encod-ing quadraphonic sound onto discs, coup-led with spotty availability of those discs,has kept many four-channel recordings inthe can. The quality of the latest quadra-phonic discs in both Columbia's SQ sys-tem and RCA's QuadraDisc format hasrisen greatly, as has the level of imagina-tion being employed in the use of thenew possibilities that four-channel soundopen up.

The shortage of vinyl that is partlyrelated to the oil shortage has causedsome deterioration in the quality of discsurfaces from most record companies,and has also caused a delay in the releaseof RCA's latest QuadraDiscs, whichrequire an especially high grade of vinylin order to preserve the 40 kHz modula-tions that provide front-to-back separa-tion. The popular side of the industry isbecoming more selective in numbers ofreleases, surely a constructive step afterthe scatter-shot techniques employed inpopular recording recently. It is unlikelythat this trend can have much of an effecton the classical industry, which has al-ways practiced a selective policy of re-cording and releasing.

Henry Heck '75 knows: "Be-fore a race, you wonder why thehell you're out there, and duringthe race, you can't stand the--agony. And after a.race," he'llpause, "you hate yourself fornot pulling harder."

In the final race of theEastern Sprint Championships,we sXnew how we'd have to pullto win. And we rowed our bestrace, our strongest, tightest,most intensely hungered-folrace, and sat at the finish line'ina state of collapse.

We were third, and everyone.knew we'd done our best. This iswhat we came away with, thething that will be with us longafter our fleeting strength isgone.

The JV did the same, pushingthemselves past the limits ofendurance. They had to facefour teams that had beaten thempreviously, and the courage thatit takes to try to win in thissport when the odds are evenslightly against you is im-measurable. They were in secondplace for 700 meters, but finallycame in fifth.

The freshmen were fifth, too.Excuses could be made for thewind lanes in all the races, butthey aren't necessary. The threecrews performed better than anyset of MIT lightweights in years.

Coaches Bill Miller and JohnMalarkey will rest on the season,reasonably pleased, and onlymildly irked. Next year, thefreshmen will move up to awinning varsity for a change, andthe team will improve.

It's been an ace season (14-3),and I'm proud to have rowed inthe boat. I'm anxious to see howthey do next year, and I'm surealready that they'll be as hungryand nasty as this year's animals.

Although William Young '74and Lee Simpson '75 failed todefend their Class A singles anddoaubles titles, a good overallteam effort enabled MIT tofinish behind only Harvard,Brown, tournament host Dart-mouth, and Williams.

Fine individual performanceswere turned in by Wally Shjeflo'74, who defeated the fifthseeded player in Class B singlesbefore losing to the eventualrunner-up, and Gerard Lum, '74who won a singles match and adoubles match with Jim Datesh'77. Lum had to withdraw fromthe tournament after theopening round due to illness.

Captain Young, this weekawarded the Class of '48 Awardas the Institute's outstandingathlete, got to the semi-finals indefense of his singles title. Hedrew a bye in the openinground, and then beat Rob Tessarof Dartmouth, 10-7, in a tenrgame pro set. He followed thiswith victories over Chris Swen-son of Yale, 6-1 6-4, and Spring-field's number one player, 6-16-1.

His semifinal opponent wasJohn Ingard of Harvard, againstwhom Young split two matchesduring the season. Sunday wasto be Ingard's day; the rain andslow clay courts were much lessdetrimental to his style of playthan Young's, and he won, 6-37-6. Ingard went on to win thetournament over Crimson team-mate Ken Lindner, 4-6 6-1 7-5.

The doubles team of Youngand Simpson aso advanced tothe semifinals before losing toDartmouth by a 5-4 score in thetiebreaker of the third set. Thescore of the match was 2-6 6-37-6. Young and Simpson hadpreviously lost to the same team,Oldenberg and Woolworth, in athird set tiebreaker during theseason. Prior to being ousted,the two had defeated CentralConnecticut, Tufts, and Middle-bury, the last in a tough 6-3 6-76-1 match.

Young and Simpson didqualify for the NCAA Class 2championship tournament,which will be held in Irvine,California in June.

Next season could be a roughone for the tennis team, asYoung, Lum, Shjeflo and TedZouros will all be graduating,and will certainly be hard toreplace.

President Nixon, on short end of Supreme Court decision today.

Inpeachment inquiry beginsP v _..11 rn~~s

Tonight the lH-1use JudiciaryCommittee will begin its livetelevision debates on the im-peachability of Richard M.Nixon.

Yesterday, in preparation fortonight's debates, the seniorDemocrats on the House Judi-ciary Committee met to redraftproposed articles of impeach-ment in an effort to obtainbipartisan support for chargesagainst Nixon. One Republican,Lawrence J. Hogan of Maryland,a staunch conservative, an-nounced that he would vote toimpeach Nixon.

The crucial issue before thecommittee is the definition of animpeachable offense. Thus farthe generally accepted legal stan-dard for impeachment has con-flicted with Nixon's much nar-rower standard, by which hemaintains that impeachment canonly result from a serious, in-dictable offense.

John Doar, chief counsel forthe Judiciary Committee, saysthat the conmittee's record addsup to four impeachable offenses:

1)Nixon's personal and directresponsibility for the Watergatecover-up.

2)His direction of a "patternof massive and persistent abuseof power for political purposesinvolving unlawful and unconsti-tutional invasion of the rightsand privacy of individual citizensof the US".

3)His refusal to obey thecommittee's subpoenas and his"contempt of the Congress andof the cause of constitutionalgovernment".

4)His "fraud upon the US" asmanifested by his tax returns.ement.

Doar, as well as the othercommittee members suggestingimpeachment, bases his opinionson what legal experts tend todeem an impeachable offens..conduct "seriously incompatiblewith either the constitutionalform and principles of our gov-ernment or the proper per-formance of constitional dutiesof the presidentail office."
