tion more relevant for the increasingnumber of black students who will betaking advantage of it.

100 Black FreshmenThe second major BSU proposal

was made with regard to admissionspolicy. Broken down, the three specificpoints were: (1) aim towards havingone hundred black freshmen in theentering freshman class; (2) financialaid for black students should consist ofall scholarship assistance, with no longterm lo n ttached; (3) a black needanalysis should be made. That is, theBSU wants the Admissions Office torecognize that just being black in awhite society, you have to pay what istermed a "black tax".

A task force set up to examine theabove proposal reached the folowingconclusions. Black students enteringMIT in 1969 will receive their full needin scholarship assistance alone for theirfirst two years at MIT. For theirremaining two years, they receive acombination scholarship-loan package,as does the rest of the Institute studentbody. Should the student require afifth year at MIT, this will be fundedby scholarship assistance only. TheInstitute is on record as being commit-ted to the specifics of the above pro-gram for at least one year.

1967 to consider "rolling re-adjust-ment" of the requirements.

Favors status-quoRosenblith stated that he favored

the present requirements for three rea-sons. The first, that the requirementsreflect the characteristics of the Insti-tute- a broadly based education withemphasis on science. The second, thatstudents were protected by the require-ments from being confined by too-early specialization. The third was thatthe requirements protected studentsfrom imperfect advisors.

Professor Anthony French thengave his remarks on the work of theCEP task force. He pointed out thatthe group had not been addressed tothe total structure of the undergra-duate curricula, but only the Instituterequirements. The task was to suggest"reasonable adjustments" only.

ConstrictingThe conclusion of the group was

that the requirement system tended tobe constricting. French explained thatthere is evidence of growing diversity-the range of undergraduate degree pro-grams has been broadened, and theincoming classes reflect a wider rangeof interests and preparation. In light ofthis, French stated that he did notthink a unique set of regquirementscould be found that would satisfyeveryone.

President Howard Johnson called toorder the first faculty meeting to beopen to uninvited members of the com-munity.

A special section of Room 10-250had been set aside for the observers.Noting that the 100 available seatswere filled, Johnson welcomed the visi-tors, and noted that the admission ofguests was a "popular idea."

The main issue under considerationat the meeting was the recommenda-tions of the Committee on EducationalPolicy task force on changing the Insti-tute requirements. In addition to theCEP proposals, three other sets of pro-posals were introduced by variousgroups of students at the meeting.

Vote postponedThe CEP proposals were formally

moved and seconded, after which John-son opened the meeting for discussionof them and the student proposals.Johnson called for postponement of avote on the issue, until at least the nextmeeting, in light of the additionalmaterial.

Chainnan of the Faculty, WalterRosenblith, opened the discussion onthe proposals with a brief recounting ofprevious changes in the Instituterequirements. He noted that the lastchange was in 1964, and that he would"go along with the '64 report" on Insti-tute requirements. The CEP task force,he explained, had been appointed in

Dr. Edward Teller, the noted phys-icist, was greeted by a largely hostileaudience Wednesday night in KresgeAuditorium.

Teller explained his views on stu-'dent Unrest, the-scienfist's responibib-itY in society, and the 'anti-ballisticmissile system in a brief lecture fol-lowed by a question-and-answer ses-sion. Often cutting questioners shortand dodging technical points, his re-marks were frequently answered byhisses from the audience.

Teller is best known for his partici-pation in the Manhattan Project, andfor his advocacy of the development ofthe hydrogen bomb. He has recentlybeen noted for his advocacy of thecontraversial ABM system.

Teller said in his opening remarksthat about ten years ago he had op-posed the development of an anti-ballistic missile system, but that he hadsince changed his mind.

Taller said that we expect the Chi-nese to develop a nuclear weapondeivery system wit}in ten years. Hefeels that the proposed ABM systemwould be effective against a possibleChinese attack. He also noted that theChinese would be much less restrainedfrom nuclear attack than the less ad-venturous Russians.

Furthermore, Teller said that theproposed ABM system could be usedeffectively as a trial system on which tobase future missile defense systems. He

Black Student Union proposalsmade earlier this year are being consi-dered and acted upon by the Admini-stration.

Work on the two central proposals,one for a black history course (s), theother for more black students, has beenbegun by, respectively, the HumanitiesDepartment and the Office of Admis-sions.

Black ExperienceAs a result, a new course entitled

21.966 -The Black Experience is beingoffered for the first time this semester.Its enrollment consists of both blackand white students, with the black stu-dents in a slm majority. Heading thecoirse is Professor Richard Wertz ofthe Humanities Department. Thus far,

both students and professor rate thecourse as a success, but both also haveadopted a "wait and see" attituderegarding MIT's first attempt to teachblack history and culture. Hopefully,the course will be fruitful in its attemptto give all its students, both black andwhite, a sense of the black idenity.

The syllabus for the course wasdeveloped by both the HumanitiesDepartment and members of the BlackStudent Union, because this way, allparties concerned felt that the coursewould be much more oriented towardthe requests for the specific black his-tory course that the BSU made in thefirst place. Projected plans for thefuture show more and better courseslike The Black Experience on tap, withan eye toward making an MIT educa-

ing issuesmembers. Dean Wadleigh thenexplained that MIT was looking to thevisiting committee for innovative ideas,value judgements, even a "kick in thepants", if necessary.

There was some question raised asto the credentials of the Committeeand what contact they had with thestudents. The credentials of eachmember were read off, but the pointwas really ,never answered to thesatisfaction of'those who had asked it,as it keot recurring during the meeting.

Discussion then moved to theforeign students at MIT. There wassome debate among foreign students asto the desirability of having aninternational house at MIT. Thecomplaint was that there was no placefor a person to bring guests or to meet

Requirements areredrawn by CEP,3 student groups

By Duff McRobertsThe Committe on Educational

Policy proposed abolition of the fcsh-man chemistry requirement in amotion submitted at a faculty meetingWednesday. Basically, the motionwould retain the other General Insti-tute Requirements, including those forScience Distribution and Laboratory.The changes would take effect forclasses entering in September, 1969.

The proposal also specifies that stu-dents majoring in science and engi-neering take at least 24 units of theScience Distribution requirement out-side of their major field. In addition,"at least 18 units of the upperclassHumanities and Social Science require-ment must be outside their major fieldfor students in the Schools of Humani-ties and Social Science and of Architec-ture, Urban Studies and Planning."

A minimum of 24 units of free elec-tives in the freshman year, 30 in thesophomore year, and 24 in the juniorand senior years combined are oneobject of the motion, and approval ofthe individual department programswould be subject to flthis guideline. Thedepartnents would also be required tospecify thesubjets a student mustcomplete by the o of his sophomoreyear in order to qualify for his degrain the normal time allotted.

"Ad Hoc Committee"The faculty has before it also a pro-

posal from the Ad Hoc Committee forChange, a student group who proposethe elimination of all subject require-ments, general and otherwise (to bereplaced by "suggested" core subjectgroups), and a modified advisory sys-tem for students. -The Ad Hoc Com-mittee requests that these changes beconsidered immediately.

Early' in this academic year the AdHoc Committee attempted withoutsuccess to secure modified gradingsystems for a number of subjects.Additional ideas of the Committee,suggested for suture consideration, fea-ture grading systems of pass/fail and/orpass/no-record, or a system by which astudent chooses how he is to be graded,and a "simple procedure for the formu-lation and establishment of student ini-tiated courses and seminars." A totalnumber of units would be required forgraduation; this number could be modi-fied somewhat with the consent of thestudent's two (or mote) advisors.

.ew collegecourses will be nixed. If a few peopleare interested in an area, then a facultymember will be invited to give a seriesof talks on the subject. If others wouldrather study the material indepen-denfly, they will be able to do so.

If someone .becomes very enthusedabout an area, then for a few days orweeks he could study it to the exclu-sion of all other fields. There wi alsobe verbal give and take, argumentsabout worthwhile topics. For somepurposes Institute courses will be uti-lized.

The faculty member will beextremely important in the effort. Hisrole "is to be that of an 'elder learner.'He is expected to know how to findthe answer, where to look, what it'slike to be where the action is. He is touncover the subject, rather than coverit. He is to show how to find the truth,rather than to preach a dloctrine. Hisauthority derives from experience, notthe institution. They are the elderlearners in the College."

Along with the faculty wil be anumber of student-tutors who will per-form the mundane parts of guidanbe,such as explaining difficult problemsets. In addition, because they will bepart of bothe the student and facultymembership of the College, the tutorswill serve to hold it together as a unitrather than having it become a placewhere two entities meet.

The testing procedure will also bedifferent. All students will be evalua-ted, but tests wil be informal, moremarking of many small elements suchas speeches or projects rather than lareperiodic examinations. The aim wilgenerally be to find out what the stu-dents have learned and whether whatthey have learned can be used under adhoc circumstances rather than in mere-ly solving a series of short set problems.

Students will stay in the Experi-mental College for one year. Forsophomore year they will join everyoneelse; their preparation will "fit themfor enrollinent in any course, leading toany degree...."

But from total academic freedomthey will be tossed back into the worldof omniscient Institute grey. To quotethe Committee: "We would not be sur-prised if a sizable fraction of these stu-dents were to find the normal atmo-sphere of MIT repressive."

contact with. the faculty. A story which comes to mind isthat which a friend of ours on the faculty tells of a studentwho gave up on seeing a professor about his educationalfuture because the professor's office had been moved. Thisattitude is closely related to the syndrome which detersstudents from asking their instructors for extra help withcourse material or asking questions in class for fear ofappearing studpid. There is a certain unnecessary reluctanceon the part of most students to do anything which might beinterpreted as an imposition on.a faculty member, despitethe fact that they came to MIT precisely to be able to"impose" themselves on an outstanding faculty.

Nowhere is this proble m more acute than among fresh-men. The average freshman comes with an immense respectfor scientific competence and views his instructors, particu-.larly the lecturers in charge of the core courses, as somesort of demigods. In addition, the freshman knows few peo-ple and is struck by the apparent indifference of the Insti-tute toward him in comparison with his high school. Hisown respect for competence (as exemplified by the facul-ty), his relative incompetence .compared with other mem-bers of the Institute community, and his desire to do whatthe Institute expects of him lead him to the conclusion thathis place is to be seen and not heard and to accept what theInstitute gives him rather than seek what he desires withinthe framework of the Institute.

This timidity which seems to be characteristic of all toomany students around the Institute leads us to the conclu-sion that most students will not take advantage of theopportunities the Institute offers for guidance and coun-seling unless the formal system which exists makes it clearthat the the student is expected to do so. While the currentsystem does not prevent the student from taking advantageof the good advisors who are around and the various waysto put together a personalized curriculum, it does preciouslittle to encourage him to do so.

The human qualifies of the faculty members who areadvisors of course cannot be changed. There are, however,specific changes which can be made in the mechanical sys-tem which selects and assigns advisors which will enablestudents to get more out of ourgiven Human resources.

One change which could be made would be to-givefaculty members some concrete incentive to be good adi-sors. We all know that graded problem sets are the first oneswhich the student does. Certainly advising students is oneof the most important educational tasks which an institu-tion of learning has. If a faculty member's effectiveness inhelping his students do meaningful things with their liveswere taken into account at in tenure and promotion deci-sions, more faculty members might consider advising stu-dents a worthwhile activity. A reduction in required teach-

Rights

ing or committee work for advisors might be another incen-tive.

Another change wfiich miight be considered in themechanics of the system would be a reduction in the stu-dent/advisor ratio, so that the advisor could get to knoweach of his students better. - e

Still another possibility would be to have all-volunteer ,advisors. This would ensure that those who do advise stu- _dents have at least some minimal interest in this problem. If iincentives-such as those discussed above were offered, itmight be possible to get a sufficient number of volunteers.At present, some faculty members do volunteer becausethey are interested in students (these are generally the bestadvisors). Oiher advisors are not exactly coerced, but-if anassistant professor is approached by his department headwith a "suggestion" that he be one of.the members of hisdepartment who will be freshman advisors, what can hesay?

Other changes which might be considered would behaving the student responsible for selecting the advisor hefeels will help him the most, contingent upon the approvalof the facultymember in question. Another alternativewould be to give each student more than one advisor, oneof whom might be assigned on a living group rather thandepartmental basis to imporve advisor accessibility andensure that the advisor takes an interest in the total deve-lopment of the student.

It sould be noted that all of these proposals are designedto be relatively mechanical changes which require no sud-den outpouring of "student-faculty communication" butwhich prevent the student from suffering with a single non-advisor as can happen at present.

The problem of Institute and departmental require-ments which has seen so much debate recently is intimatelyrelated to the deficiencies in the advisory system. So long asthe Institute and departmental requirements which has seenso much debate recently is intimately related to the defi-ciencies in the advisory system. So long as the Institute anddepartmental requirements exist, it is impossible for a stu-dent to go entirely off on some unreasonable tangent; theadvisor need not worry too much about what courses to'encourage his students to take. Conversely, as long as theadvisory system functions as poorly as it does, we shall !need catalog programs so that students have some idea of Xwhat might be reasonable ways to go through the Institute..~

The members of the Corporation Visiting Committee on gStudent Affairs with whom we spoke gave us the impres- :sion that some overhauling of the advisory system will be :;.-trecommended in their report. We hope that it will and the -a.that the departments will not ignore such recommenda- Wtions. ,,-

It is at once clear to me that a goodnumber of sound arguments could beproduced supporting the proposed at-tendance of faculty meetings by stu-dents. As a student concerned with theimprovement of my educational oppor-tunities, I might go so far as to suggest

to the faculty that our mutual interestscould be better served by encouragingstudent-faculty cooperation in the de-velopment of educational programsthrough student attendance- of faculty

One aspect of the Institute educational process whichhas come under -increasing fire recently is the advisorysystem. This was true both in the faculty meeting debateconcerning the Institute requirements, and in student dis-cussions with the Corporation Visiting Committee on Stu-dent Affairs.

For irany students at the Institute, the advisory systemworks well. This is due, however, not to the structure of thesystem itself, but to the fact that there are some facultymembers who are exceptionally free advisors. A studentwill benefit from having a good advisor regardless of thesystem which assigns that advisor to him -.......

However, there is a broad spectrum of faculty memberswho participate in the advisory program. For every excel-lent advisor, there seems to be at least one poor one, jud-ging from conversations-we have had with a number ofstudents and student comments at the Visiting Committeeforurm Monday. For a variety of reasons - lack of interest,too many outside responsibilities, out-of-town activities,heavy teaching load, etc. - many faculty members are noteffective advisors. The reaction of most students whenquereied concerning their relationship with their advisor isthat he signs their schedules at the beginning of each term.Given the complex decisions each student must make dur-ing his time at the Institute, it seems to us that the Instituteowes its students more than this.

The ideal advisor feels that it is his job to learn aboutthe various options open to students in the curriculum, andactively encourage his advisees to take advantage of them.He takes a personal interest in each of his student's progressthrough the Institute, and considers it important that eachfind: a field of endeavor- which enables him to fulfill hispotential. He is the sort of person with whom students feelthey can talk concerning personal matters. If he does notknow the answer to a question, he does know who does. .

This sort of person is rare. However, the value of anadvisory system should -be that it contains checks andbalances to offset the shortcomings of individual facultyadvisors so that a student's ability to make effective deci-sions about his future does not depend upon one randomlyselected mente of his department. Under the current -sys-tem, the more agressive students acquire a number of defacto advisors during their progress through the Institutewho are generally faculty members the student has come toknow well in a recitation section, living group or othersituation. Thus, even if his formally designated advisor isinclined to be no more than his registration officer, thisstudent has a number of trusted faculty members who takean interest in his intellectual progress.

There is, however, a certain timidity which many stu-dents display when it comes to taking the Institute by thehorns and wresting from it $2150 worth of good advice and

17. President Johnson demonstrated the spontaneous andhumorous side of Faculty meetings Wednesday when hecited Gary Gut for the "most Freudian slips" in his speechto the meeting. Gary, a biology major, drew the most ap-plause when he spoke of the Institute "paralyzed aroundscience."

15. In a succinct letter to all dorm students who did notregister for commons meals, Dean Wadleigh warned that themeal contract is required of all residents in dormitorieshaving their own dining hall. 'The associated commons feeis a financial obligation to the Institute whether or not th,resident checks the small box on the Bursar's registrationform or whether or not the resident actually partakes of themeals provided," he stated.However, in a personal interview, he admitted that in factthe commons plan is probably not legally binding. But, headded, the Institute Lawyers may not be used to prove it.16. And speaking of Commons, the line that most hithome in Michael Harrington's "The Other America" is"...deducted several dollars a week for food that they ateon the job. But then, they had no choice in this matter. Ifthey didn't take the food, they had to pay for it anyway."

18. As our belove Editor, Steve Carhart, was covering memeeting on the commons price rise last week, he decided tonap through Dean Wadleigh's comments. Somewhat sur-prised by this, Dean Wadleigh asked "Mr. Tech" if he wasbored by his assignment.

19. An 18.22 Professor the other day concluded a proof ofa theorem not with the usual "Q.ED."' but with the re-mark. '"I think we've just proved this course vacuous."

'AGE 6 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1969 THE TECH

I GoodniBy Gary Bjerke

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern areDead," now playing at the Schuster,Theater, is an attempt to analyze thephilosophical implications of the trialsand travels of these two much-malignedcharacters of Shakespeare's "Hamlet."In Shakespeare's plot, Rosencrantz andGuildenstern are two courtesans, child-hood friends of the prince Hamlet,called back to the Court by the new king Claudius, and his wife Gertrude(Hamlet's mother by the previous king,Claudius' brother) in order to deter-mine the cause of Hamlet's moroseness,and if possible to brighten his outlook.

Waiting for GodotA good deal of this modern-style fo-

cus on two relatively minor charactersof "Hamlet" deals with their journeyto the court, and their growing puzzle-ment -over the reasons why they aregoing. In fact, there is a striking similar-

flipping. No matter how elaborate thetechniques they employ in tossing thecoin, they can never break the spell ofheads; perhaps this is a dramatic illus-tradion of the fact that according to thelaws of probability even the most-im-probably event can occur sometime.

The importance of being deadMore important, of course, 'to the

continuity of the play -is the deaththeme, suggested in the iftle, whicheventually leads to a semi-existentialisttheme in the concluding scenes. Rosen-crantz and Guildenstem discuss deathat length at various points in the play,for no apparent reason other than theinterest of the theme. They imagine,and there are humorous aspects to thediscussion (the entire play is shotthrough with a delightful streak ofhumor), what death must be like todead and buried persons. But, ofcourse, they realize the fallacy of theirreasoning: that they are chained to theoutlook and concepts of living beings.

During the course of their journey,they meet with a roving group of actors(who later turn out to be the itinerantcast of "'he Death of Gonzago" whichso'upsets King Claudius), who interest-inly enough specialize in the deaththeme. The encounter is not a pleasantone, and 'in subsequent meetings theimportance of the actors' frivolous atti-tude toward death becomes evident.

The play is, for extended stretches,rather boring. Perhaps this should notbe considered a valid criticism, or evenany kind of criticism, since this qualityof the play (while not characteristic ofmore than a few scenes) seems to s.%orvup the basic theme. One tires of seeingRosencrantz and Guildenstern by theirlittle lonesomes for entire scenes, dis-

MIT once again provided its under-graduate students with real "sock-it-t''em" entertainment at Saturday night's.mixer, in commemoration of a new(and bigger and better) term and asomewhat premature celebration of theChinese New Year.

The festive scene was enlivened con-siderably by the gay costumes andglowing countances of the hip girls ofWatertown High, who swarmed in-great, giggling masses to the SocialEvent of the season. The dance floorshook with the savage thunder of aban-doned feet, to the throbbing soundsprovided by the Institute's most popu-

ity to Beckett's "Waiting for Godot,"in that the main characters iLn bothplays are definitely waiting for some-one or something, but in neither in-stance can they explain exactly what itis. Beckett called the personification ofthis "something" Godot (who, incid-entally, never arrived), and Rosen-crantz and Guildenstem haven't thefaintest idea what to call it, except per-haps fate.

They carefully explain in the initialscenes of the play how an unidentifiedmessenger called them early one morn-ing and told them to go to the Court.They obeyed instantly, without eventhinking, and this fact in itself disturbsthem - can one, should one, call itfate? More perplexing is the fact that inthe course of amusing themselves whiletravelling, they have managed to toss98 consecutive heads in a gamblingcontest based on the results of this coin

Serovythis spring for a concert tour. It willprobably begin around March 15 inOakland. No word yet on thepossibility of a Boston area show.

A 'solo LP by Noel Redding is inthe mill and should appear soon.

If you've been wondering about theabsence of Bob Dylan from the concertroutine, it's due to a dispute with hismanager, Albert Grossman. Dylan willrefuse to appear in a show until hiscontract with Grossman is up. This willprevent G'man from collecting any feesat Dylan's expense.

Traffic without Steve Winwood iscalled Mason, Capaldi, Wood and Frog.Mick Weaver, formerly of the WynderK. Frog band has replaced Winwood onthe organ and will accompany theremains of Traffic on tour beginningabout March 15. They'll be on Islandrecords.

On line

The Boston Pop Festival should bevery interesting if the' promotionalbreeze is accurate. Several talentedbands will appear each night and ticketVrices sound reasonable. However,such an undertaking will require a lotof organization and production skillwhich may not materialize.

Country Joe and the Fish may notbe too long for the rock world.Apparently there's a motivationalproblem along with the harassmentthey have received from the police andpro-war groups.

Leadingthe MIT men in groovy apparel wassuave, continental Jose Macintosh, whosported a sunflower yellow, drip-dryNehru tunic accented with a singlestrand of dried watermelon seeds, andworn with a pair of vintage denuimjeans.

As the band swung enthusiasticallyinto a slightly risque Albanian versionof "Auld Ang Signe", the pantingcrowds streamed from the psychedelichalls of the Sala de Puerto Rico intothe refreshing (20 below) coolness ofthe night air. Boys and girls stoodgawking in silent awe at the breath-taking beauty of Kresge by star-light, asthe first golden fingers of dawn dippedinto She disease-ridden Charles River.

It's easy to see, from this singleexperience, that MIT's rumored reputa-tion for being a "serious" (ie: deadlystuffy) institute selfishly concernedwith nourishing the mind and starvingthe soul is entirely unwarrented. Satur-day night's mixer certainly proved- atleast, to this callous reporter- thatMIT can hold its own whenit comes togivmng the "NOW" generation of todayexactly what it Wants.

frenzy point, and someone plunges intoa neatly set trap. Why answer a ques-tion with a question? From an existent-ialist's vantage, it is perhaps meaning-less to ask the question in the firstplace, for inevitably the answer willonly give rise to a question (in thatphilosophy, ultimate reasons cannotexist, and a proponent will not eventrouble himself with this futile courseof action); therefore, why not elim-inate the intermediate, unsatisfactoryanswer? In a sense,Rosencrantz andGuildenstern are merely brought to therealization that the easiest way out isto play their parts ("All the world's astage," and etc. courtesy W. Shakes-peare.

Dilettante's delightSome of the dilettante's delights

that emerge in the half-witted dialoguesof Rosencrantz and Guildenstern arenot as meaningless as they first appear.There is the matter of the game ofquestions, in which the object is to ans-wer a question with a question, untilsomeone lapses into the use of non-se-quiters, or other "illegal" questions,gifting the opponent with a point.These skirmishes are handled expertlywithin the framework of the play, andoccur in bursts; the frequency of thequestioning accelerates rapidly to the

Project Epsilon:Institute seeksblack students

(Continued from page 1)The primary problem for the

Admissions Office, however, remainsattracting black students to MIT. Forthe class of 1972, MIT had only 29black applicants, of whom 12 wereadmitted, and seven chose to enroll.Hence, fewer than one per cent of thefreshman class is black, far lower thanmost other top quality universities.

The Admissions Office has laboredhard, however, and this year anticipatesreceiving about one hundred applica-tions from black high school students,thus increasing the size of the blackstudents enrolled. As one Admissionsofficer concluded, '"The problem Ls injust getting applications."

Project EpsilonAccordingly, the Ins.ftute has esta-

blished Project Epsilon, which beganabout one year ago. Under this pro-gram, the school will admit studentswhose college board scores as a group,are about 120-130 points below themean for the class. This way, MIThopes to encourage attendance formstudents who have talent, but, if notenrolled in the project, could not havecome here. Letters have been sent outto potentially promising black studentsall over the country, and a person-to-person recruitment drive has been ini-tiated. The success of the program can-not be measured yet, but might bemore accurately metered in five yearsTAm. these students graduate from

as the only irrevocable end which theycan ever hope to reach, the only goalheld out to them which will fulfill allof their expectations. And death is, asthe actors have pointed out to them allalong, just as easy as...dying. Dying,whether one does so dramatically, orjust notices that the lights have winkedout, and just has time to realize thatone will never realize anything again.As Rosencrantz and Guildenstern oftensay, "Now you see me, now youdon't." Or, as Rosencrantz (or was itGuildenstern?) says in the very last lineof the very last scene - the stage istotally blackened; and the spotlight istrained on his face - "Now you seeme, now' you..." The spotlight fades.and "the rest is silence."

The taskforce, he explained,-decided in favor ofmore range of choice early, eventhough "it carries some.risk" to latersubject programs.

The student proposals were thenintroduced. Six students, two represen-ting each proposal, were granted spea-king privileges. French indicated thatthe Ad Hoc Committee memberswould go first, at which point ProfessorMorris Halle rose to move the propo-sals. After a moment of confusion,Johnson ruled that the proposals wereto be discussed only.

Students speakLarry White, '69, then explained

the Ad Hoc Committee for Change pro-posals. He noted that his group consi-dered the principles of undergraduateeducation basically sound, althoughcourses lose their value when the stu-dent is required to take them. Whitecharged that "required courses canteach facts, but it is at the sacrifice ofintellectual curiosity."

White then ennumerated the propo-sals of his group, which included theabolition of all Institute requirementsand the institution of an improvedcounseling service. White argued thatfor those who still would feel the needfor structured courses, the Instituteshould keep the same catalog listings,using them as guidelines.'He noted thatany student seeking to master somediscipline would most likely take therequired courses within the disciplineanyway.

requirement whether there could be enough qualityelectives to fil the holes caused by thedropping of requirements.

Zacharias speaksProfessor Jerrold Zacharias, Depart-

ment of Physics, then exlpressed hissupport of one part of the Ad HocCommittee's proposals that called for agroup to thoroughly investigate atti-tudes towards undergraduate requirements. Zacharias chaged that the CEPproposals were "little steps for littlefeet", in a time of upheavals in manyuniversities.

Professor Paul Gray, Assistant Pro-vost, responded that the problemfacing the task force was one of findingthe correct balance between freedomof choice, and a minimal set of require-ments. He noted the student interestand activit in the efforts, and said thatthe recommendations of the task forcerepresented such a balance.

Rosenblith also defnded the CEYproposals, stating ."the fact is, that thEis a very modest proposal." He commenied that an educational utopiashouldn't be expected.

In other action, the faculty voted tcrename Geology and Geophysics 'Eartiand Planetary Sciences'. They alsoapproved a new doctoral degree in thafield. Johnson named Professor Charle:Myers to head a committee to judgethe effects of open faculty meetingsJohnson also accepted a report fruitthe Committee on Placement Service:that reviewed in detail the Placemenactivities at MIT.

He said that the SCEPrecommendations were the leastremoved from the CEP proposals, butthat the CEP proposals "don't go farenough." He then outlined the reasonsfor dropping the second term of phy-sics, and restructuring the freshman-sophomore humanities sequence.

Johnson then threw the meetingopen to general discussion. ProfessorAscher H. Shapiro, Head of the Depart-ment of Mechanical Engineering, roseto express his opposition to the newproposals. He pointed out that the pre-sent system was flexible to allow a stu-dent to receive his degree, even if hetook two years to decide on his disci-pline. He also expressed doubt as to

The proposals would basically elimi-nate all upper-class requirements.Schaeffer argued that these upper-classrequirements-placed a burden of 36hiours on students outside the sciencesand engineering.

In justification of its ideas, theCommittee states, 'The student wouldgain immeasurably by becominginvolved with the determination of thecourse of his own future," and holdsthat course content is of less impor-tance than the freedom involved in theelimination of all requirements.

If adopted, the SCEP Subcom-mittee ideas would be adopted for thefall of this year.

"Science Distribution" attacked

In the belief that "the CEP proposalfails to directly address the inequity ofa Science/Engineering DistributionRequirement," abolition of the require-ment has been advocated by a group ofpolitical science students in notherpolicy statement on curriculum change.Stating that the distribution require-ment represents a burdensome endunnecessary hardship for the non-science major, the suggestions take theform of a proposal to amend the mo-tion submitted by the CEP. The groupexpresses, with approval, a belief that"the unique outlook and approach ofMIT" will continue to be felt by allstudents through "work in the class-room and the influence of an'invisiblecurriculum' . . . which pervades MIT."

Although the proposals are essen-tially complete within themselves, theywill be introduced eventually as amend-ments to the CEP preposals. The CEPproposals are currently under discus-sion as old business to be brought up atthe next faculty meeting.

Supporters of the three student pro-posals have indicated that they wouldaccept each other's proposals beforethey would accept the CEP changes.Most, hbwever, appear to feel that thecomplete abolition of requirementsstands little chance of enactment.

can, or should be able to decide whenhe wants to have a girl in his room.

The only problems that werebrought up were legal. The dorms andfraternities are icersed as boardinghouses. Such licenses can be withdrawnat the whim of the board of licensing.Mr. Gerald Berlin, member of thecommittee and a lawyer, said that hedidn't see anyone "shutting down thedorms because they violated thelicensing laws." But that "fraternitiesare in a worse position."

The consensus of the administration -and house masters present was that itwould be necessary to make sure thatofficers of the various housesunderstand thoroughly theirresponsibilities under the law.

Tuesday afternoon was devoted toclosed discussion. This was divided intodiscussion with faculty andadministration and a sessioncompletely closed in thich they drewup their recommendations, which.werenot available at press time.

Gregory Smith, chairman, said thathe personally favored making thecommittee's recommendations public,but that the -committee as a wholewould have to vote. Wadleigh said thatthat decision was up to the committeeand that he had no say in the matter.

other foreign students. Rebuttal camein the form of discussion of howdesirable it was to integrate the foreignstudents to the MIT environment. -Aplea was made that foreign students be"regarded as one of us, instead of beinglooked upon as a guest and MIT isbeing nice to that student's country."

Discussion then turned to housing.A need was recognized for morehousing for graduates on campus. Atthis time only one-fourth of thegraduate students are housed oncampus. Wadleigh said that there is anemphasis on undergraduate donms forthe next few years..In addition toMacGregor, another dorm is planned.But, the undergraduate admissionspolicy has been to hold the numberadmitted essentially constant. Thenumber of girls is supposed to rise to75 a year, as soon as there is room. Oneof the students present warned againstbeing isolated in ivory towers in thedorms, and not being able to interactwith the real world.

Advisory System

When one of the members of thecommittee asked for comments aboutexpectations of MIT before comingversus impressions after being here,discussion turned to the advisorysystem at MIT'. A majority of thosecommenting felt that the system"reeks". Their were a few students, onea freshman, who said that theirexperiences with an advisor had beenvery good, and that they were verypleased. Prof. John Graves, Humanities,said that while- there are someindividual exceptions, as a whole thesystem is bad. Part of the problem isthat there seems to be differentconceptions of what role should beplayed by the advisor. Should he be aregistration officer, a counselor, a guidethrough the intricacies of the Instituterules,' a combination of the above, orjust what?

Alternate ways of assigning studentsto advisors was also discussed. Includedwere students picking advisors, andassigning on a living group basis, anadvisor for a floor, or somethingsimilar.

Discussion broke up into a socialhour, after which the members of thecommittee went to various dorms andfraternities, to meet more students andgain a better picture of student life atMIT. Some members of the committeesaid that they were happy with theopen discussion but wished that itcould have gone on longer.

Coeds off campus

The Tuesday morning discussionswere concerned with coeds beingallowed to live off campus andparietals. Laurie Nisonoff '70 gave the,

positions of the coeds regarding livingoff campus. While the number of girlshas.gone up, there is nothing that saysthat they will all be able to mix wellwith the other coeds. She characterizedMcCormick as. "Probably the mostbeautiful girl's dorm, but also thebitchiest."

She also said that it is much easierfor MIT males to see Boston and to gooff campus whenever they wish. Coeds,on the other hand, "don't see peopleother than MIT people." Many of thegirls did some strange things during-theblizzard because they were afraid theywere not going to be able to get awayfrom McCormick for a few days.

Mrs. Virginia Hildebrand '47, amember of the committee, and aformer coed, was here when there wasnot a girl's dorm. She commented,'"he situation will not appear so grandand glorious after a few years of thisarrangement." There was somequestion as to the safety of those coedsliving offcampus. Wadleigh said thatthe dissatisfaction was so great that itoverweighed the problem. Also, thosewho do live off-campus, for specialreasons of some sort, have not had anyproblem.

The committee was given thepetition that the McCormick girlssigned. The petition had the provisionthat coeds under 21 would have tohave parental permission to liveoff-campus. The committee felt thateven that restriction should not bekept, and that the female livingrequirements should be exactly thesame as the male requirements.

Much was made of the fact that theparietal policy in the dorms is that ofde facto open hours, even if the rulesare not. Eben Walker '69, Dormconchairman, said that the main emphasisfor having parietals be theresponsibility of the individuardorms isthat MIT views the student as matureenough to run his own life, hence he

Before you decide what you are going to do withthe new life your degree can open up for you, thinkabout all the possible opportunities.

Don't just answer the usual questions about bigcompany versus small company, service companyversus product company, industry versus academe,or public versus private business.

Think about where you can do most of what youlike best, where you can make the most meaning-ful change.

We think you'can do it here if what you are inter-ested in is making specific, measurable improve-ments in the world. We build electronic systems tocommunicate, gather and process data, defend thecountry, and study inner and outer space.

We expect that our systems approach will alsohelp us solve some of the big problems in our

day-to-day concerns like medicine, education, andcity planning.

We need men and women with degrees in busi-ness administration, engineering, and liberal artsto help us realize the- full potential of thesesystems.

We need individuals who know that formal edu-cation can never stop for system builders, who willtake advantage of our-many education opportuni-ties; including prepaid tuition, in-plant graduatedegree programs, and fellowships. Achievementsin this atmosphere' can be extremely satisfying,academically as well as personally and profession-ally.

By Bill MichelsThis weekend, the varsity ski team

travelled to Mount Sugarloaf, Maine,for the New England Inter-collegiateSki Association's Division II Champion-ships.

Participating- were the six Division

II teams (UNH, ColbyNorwich, Maine,Yale, and MIT), and the top three divi-sion III teams (New England College,West Point, and Bates).

Once again, John Schultz '71 wasTech's top finisher in the Giant Slalom,

f

W ..

avigated the run well enough to earn

with a hard-fought seventh place. Theteam, however, managed only seventh.

In the Cross Country, Tech's strong-est event, Max Daamen '70 led MITwith a ninth place finish. Captain Doug

. Cale '69, who had placed fifth lastyear, was sick all week, but hung on tofinish right behind Max in tenth place.Tech placed fourth out of the nineschools.

Saturday morning, Tech got off toan excellent start in the slalom, withSchultz having the fifth fastest firstrun. But his luck ran out in the secondrun, when his binding popped, and hefailed to fhiish. Miles Wagner '71 wasTech's top scorer, with a 19th in thefield of 50.

Jumping, Tech's weakest eventdashed all hopes for sixth place. Ourtop jumper, Rich Freyberg '70, placedabout half-way down the field.

The disappointing finish in the sla-lom and jump made it impossible tocatch Maine, and thus MIT will be inDivision III next year for the first time.Without some of the bad breaks, itcould have been different, but at last,the Tech skiers will get into a leaguewhere they are a power 'rather, than apushover.

By Ray KwasnickThe freshman basketball team con-

tinued along the low road Wednesdayas the Tech five fell to a powerfulNortheastern squad, 73-59. The engi--neers now own a depressing 2-12 sea-son record.

Although the score doesn't indicateit, the game was a hard-fought affair.Northeastern could never really rip thegame wide open; it was more of a long,grinding process where the NU lead just'seemed to creep upwards. The Huskiespushed the margin to 41-29 by the endof the half.

In the second half, the lead grew totwenty-four points at one juncture, butBen Wilson's work under the boards,and the engineer defense narrowed thefinal count to fourteen.

The story of the game can be seenin the statistics. The fact that MIT hadonly thirteen turnovers to twenty forthe Huskies can be attributed to animprovement in the engineers' ball-handling and defense. The squad had acold night from the floor, hitting only23 of 65 shots for thirty-four per cent.

opening jump ball in the froshgame with Northeastern.

However, the Tech squad was reallyhurt at the charity stripe, where theyconnected on only 13 of 26 attempts,while Northeastern sank 17 of 24.

Despite the defeat, Wilson conti-nued his spectacular play. He led allscorers with 9 of 17 floor shots, and sixfrom the foul line for 24 points. He

also controlled both boards, with aphenomenal 23 rebounds. Gary Sharpechipped in seven for the losers. BillMoxley supplied the power behind theHuskie attack with 19 points.

Although these fo-feits were welcome, easy points for theTech wrestlers, there were no fearsabout putting these men aginst any-thing Amherst might have offered intheir weigf class.
