Watson motionUnsatisfied with the Segal proposal,

Professor Watson of the HumanitiesDepartment, Jonathan Kabat of SACC,and Gerry Stein of Social Inquiry drewup a second motion concerning ROTC:

"This Institute shall terminateimmediately all contracts and agree-ments regarding the ROTC and shallnot sign any new contracts or makeany agreements, either formal or infor-mal, for the establishment of ROTC onthis campus in any form whatsoever."

In addition to this motion, the threemen are also recommending that thefaculty approve certain supplementarymeasures to the motion. These includesuch things as that "the ROTC scholar-ships now held by students in ROTCbe replaced by MIT scholarships accor-ding to the usual standards of theInstitute."

By Larry KleinA special meeting of the faculty will

be held in May to discuss the status ofROTC at MIT. To be considered willbe proposals by Professor Irving Segal(Course XVIII) and Professor WilliamWatson (Course XXI).

Students will be able to presenttheir opinions on ROTC beforehand attwo open meetings to be held, tenta-tively on Monday, April 28 and Wed-nesday, April 30.

Segal motionOn the agenda of the last faculty

meeting held on Wednesday, April 16was a motion by Professor Segal et al.to "Eliminate Academic Credit forROTC Subjects." Due to lack of time,however, discussion of the motion waspostponed until a special facultymeeting to be held in May.

The introduction of the motion toeliminate academic credit for ROTC ofthe faculty conducted by ProfessorSegal. Entitled "Memorandum to theFaculty" and dated April 4, the surveycontained the names of twenty mem-bers of the MIT faculty who agreed"that academic credit should not begiven at MiT for courses in MilitaryScience (scientifically, those designatedAS,MS, and NS)" and urged othermembers of the faculty to join "in aformal proposal for the elimination ofsuch credit."

The options contained in the surveyand the number of faculty selectingeach (as reported in a report issued onApril 15) were:

1. "I agree that academic creditshould not be given at MIT for coursesin Military Science, and authorize theuse of my name for inclusion in analphabetical list of faculty taking thisposition. 108.

2. I am inclined to question thegranting of academic credit at MIT forcourses in Military Science, but shouldlike to have the matter studied furtherby the Faculty before decidingwhether to join in a formal proposalfor its elimination. 87

Collins requests researchCollins emphasized a need for re-

search of different techniques. "As itis, we don't even know whether or notthe methods we use now are success-ful." And he asked for caution oncommunity participation, claiming itdid not automatically mean improve-ment. Drake pointed to flaws in oureducation system, claiming that it "re-generates," rather than breeding newlife. "We need an adjustment of oururban education."

Professor Fein voiced impatienceboth with the panel and the govern-ment. "It's irritating that everyone inwell-intentioned, everyone is con-cerned, yet nothing happens." Heclosed by reminding that while powercorrupts, so does powerlessness,creating "mindless zealots."

were former Boston mayor JohnCollins and MIT professors WillardJohnson, Alvin Drake and LeonardFein. Provost Jerome Wiesner wasmoderator. Professor Jerome Lettvin,originally scheduled to participate,found himself unable to attend.

Besides the lack of a public outcryfor funds, Humphrey also faulted pre-sent ineffective, piecemeal efforts atremedying the city problems. "Whatwe need, " he proposed, "is a consor-tium of great universities, such as herein the Northeast, pooling their wealthof men and talent." He had harshwords for some of the state govern-ments: "the federal government shouldprovide financial incentives to stateswho re-organize to meet urban crises."

Urban Homestead ActPointing out that the city property

tax had exhausted itself as a realisticsupply of funds for improvement,Humphrey proposed the establishmentof an National Urban DevelopmentBank. Supported by public and privatefunds, it would underwrite the risks ofreconstruction in depressed areas ofthe cities. In addition, he called for anUrban Homestead Act similar to themeasure passed last century to developthe West.

Professor Johnson, opening panelist,returned to a theme often used thenight before: How do people who lack

By Alex MakowskiConcentrating on the problem of

the cities and their solutions, formerVice-President Hubert Humphreyended his brief visit to MIT with asecond panel discussion Thursdaynight.

Humphrey placed the blame for thefailure to resolve urban crises on a lackof political commitment. Solutions forthe triple problems of race, povertyand human environment would comeonly with a demand by the Americanpublic for more funds. "We've beenable to build highways and get to themoon on schedule. Why can't we buildhouses on schedule?" demandedHumphrey, after recalling a 1949 billcalling for the construction of 800,000housing units, 500,000 of which havebeen completed.

Joining Humphrey on the panel

dismiss the charges. In a caucus of thestudents involved, it was decided thatthe motion should be made on behalfof all the defendants, not just thestudents.

Attorney John T. Flym made themotion for the defense when Courtreconvened. He argued that the casestook the form of a "family dispute"within the University, and that thecases would be best handled by Har-vard instead of the Court.

McCarthy countered with the argu-ment that when Cambridge police arecalled in, the matter..transcends thescope of a "family dispute." Violadenied the defense motion.

Shortly before the Court adjour-ned, Attorney John Fox, Harvard '29and publisher of the old Boston Post,asked permission to speak. Represent-ing no one, Fox expressed his concernover the "red band of communism"which he saw in the courtroom. He wasreferring to the red armbands whichmany of the students were wearing insupport of the strike.

Judge Viola suggested that Fox filean appearance and speak when thecases are brought up again.

Three of the trespass cases weredismissed in a closed meeting afteradjournment. These cases were repre-sentatives of the college press: twoTufts students, and reporter John Jure-wicz of The Tech.

The Harvard students arrested atthe University .Hall demonstration will'still face trespass charges despiteHarvard's request to the contrary, itwas ruled in the Third District Court ofEastern Middlesex last Friday.

Judge M. Edward Viola said he feltthat if the defendants can be, provedinnocent, an acquittal would be betteron their records than would a dismissalof charges. If, on the other hand, theyare guilty, "they should be foundguilty." Edward- McCarthy, AssistantCambridge City Solicitor, had request-ed that the charges be upheld.

The 35 cases which came up Fri-day were continued, giving the pros-ecution eleven more days to assemble"photographic evidence." The post-ponement was granted over the object-ion of almost all the defense attorneys.The defense attorneys stated that theyare ready to go to trial, and that acontinuance would -inconvenience theirdefendants and witnesses who wouldhave to reappear.

Attorney Oscar Shaw of the firm ofRopes & Gray spoke on behalf of theUniversity. He said that in response tothe Faculty vote to drop chargesagainst students, Harvard PresidentNathan M. Pusey had sent him torequest dismissal of the cases.

The Court then recessed for fifteenminutes to allow attorneys to consultwith their clients on a motion to

Science Action Co-ordinating Com-mittee met with President Howard W.Johnson to discuss their demands -hatMIT discontinue work on MIRV's andall-weather helicopters for Vietnam atthe Instrumentation Laboratory andthe ABM at Lincoln Laboratory.

They specifically requested a mora-torium on such work, while discussionswere conducted concerning the possi-bility of eliminating these projectsfrom MIT facilities altogether. Johnsonsaid, in response to a question, that asPresident he, indeed, was responsiblefor the existence of these projects, butthat he did not have the power toimmediately stop this research. Mem-bers of the administration who werepresent seemed to be of the opinionthat a moratorium would imply aprejudgment against the research, whileSACC felt that allowing the work tocontinue without a moratorium wouldimply a prejudgment in favor of con-tinuing this work.

Provost Jerome Wiesner made anunexpected appearance at the meeting.He attempted to discuss several indivi-dual projects and the ways in whichthey were handled in some depth, butthe large group jumped from project toproject and made his attempts at clari-fication impossible. He left the meet-ing, visibly annoyed, when a studentcriticized his decision to concentratehis efforts in stopping the ABM systemrather than MIRV's. (Wiesner is cur-rently preparing a major study on theABM problem for Senator Edward M.Kennedy).

Weapons and gas-chambersIn an interview after the meeting,

ira Rubenzahl, a SACC leader, defend-ed his group's position in trying toprevent a certain type of work oncampus. "One doesn't have the right tobuild gas chambers to kill people," hesaid, drawing an analogy between wea-pons work. at MIT and work donebuilding gas chambers to support Hit-ler's policies. He added that the prin-ciple that people should not kill other

people is more important than notionsof freedom to do any kind of reasearchone might want to undertake. Thedecision-making process in the area ofdetermining what sort of work shouldbe done at MIT was not, he said, whatit should be.

SACC picketing will resume at theInstrumentation Laboratory on Tues-day. Rubenzahl said that SACC was"not interested in provoking violence,"though the exact nature of the protestwas to be determined late Mondaynight and was not known at press time.

improving various world situations.Much of the questioning was about

Viet Nam. One student rememberingHumphrey's previous discussion of theeffects of the war on our society, askedhim to consider the results of theconflict for the Viet Namese people.Admitting the tragic consequences ofthe fighting there, Humphrey favoredan immediate, negotiated cease-fire toend the killing. He also saw the pos-sibility of pulling out a substantialnumber of US troops this year.

When pressed on our initial involve-ment in Southeast Asia, Humphreycompared It to our response to theNorth Korean agression in 1950. Inboth cases, he claimed, we respondedto an illegal use of force. fie alsocriticized the argument that we wereinterfering in the affairs of onecountry. "The East Germans are thesame nationality as the West Berliners.Should we just hand over the city?"

Humphrey in '72?Some students were skeptical about

Humphrey's repeated denials of areturn to political life. "Come now,"demanded one student, "didn't youcome here to build a base of support

for the 1972 campaign."Undoubtedly recalling the frequent

verbal attacks of the past 24 hours, hereplied, "If I did, I certainly came tothe wrong place." Was it the wrongplace for Humphrey? His two-day visitwas marred by some student heckling,confrontations by students during bothpanel discussions and his question andanswer session, repeated doubts of hisveracity and sincerity, and a bombscare.

Wednesday afternoon an anon-ymous caller on the "100" line claimeda bomb was planted in the StudentCenter. Humphrey's sherry hour anddinner in the Mezzanine Lounge wasrelocated as Campus patrolmen andcustodial personnel cleared the build-ing. An hour-long search failed touncover any explosives, and the build-ing was re-opened about 7:15. It wasthe first bomb scare in the StudentCenter's four-year history.

By Carson AgnewOne engineering department's ex-

periment in education ended here Sat-urday on a successful note. The Cre-ative Engineering Symposium, held lastweek on. campus by the Department ofAeronautics and Astronautics, was anattempt to show students what anengineer in industry really has to do,and involved students, faculty, andengineers in projects to demonstratethe ideas.

The program, conceived by severalfaculty members and students in theAero Department, used two main ap-proaches. First, problems solicitedfrom the major aerospace companieswere given to groups of students. Eachgroup was to study the problem, andwrite a report in which it suggestedinnovative solutions to it. Problemsranged in scope from the design of acomplete air-to-air missile system towork on heat-pipe applications.

Secondly, engineers and inventorswere invited to present papers involv-ing the creative solution of engineeringproblems. These were intended toshow how useful solutions were arrivedat by practicing engineers.

Not all parts of the program wereequally effective. Few students, forexample, attended the paper presentat-ions. The reasons seemed to boil downto the pressure of other academiccommittments-many students had togive the affair low or last prioritybecause of the usual round of quizes,midterms, and papers demanded bytheir non-Aero courses during theweek. And one participant describedthis part of the program as "a typical

AIAA (American Institute of Aero-nautics and Astronautics-a profession-al society) approach."

The students seemed to enjoy thework-shops held on the projects more.Professors and professionals were avail-able to work on a nearly one-to-onebasis with the students there. While afew projects were hampered by groupswho tried to keep their pet innovationssecret (apparently in hopes of soundingmore original in the paper), most casessaw students finally getting a chance toput together the fragments of know-ledge with which a traditional engineer-ing education provides them into someuseful and constructive whole.

Overall, these work-shops appear sosuccessful that they may be continued.Steve Ehrmann '71 suggested that theJanuary plan being discussed by theCalendar Committee would provide anexcellent chance for the School ofEngineering as a whole to institutesome plan of this nature.

Professor Jerrold Zacharias, who satin on a panel evaluating the Sym-posium, called the program an experi-ment in "problem oriented-not an-swer oriented" instruction. Al Willsky'69 said that too much of MIT'seducation was aimed at giving an en-gineer the ability to solve a problem,and too little of it tried to teach himhow to formulate the problem ir. thefirst place. Above all else, this seems tobe the ability that was developed bythe Creative Engineering Symposium.

Steve Ehrmann's comment aboutthe calendar plan applies to the wholeprogram. It is good enough to be"worth lobbying for."

Tom Woodruff, Chairman of MITUrban Action, has announced thatapplications are now being acceptedfor the MIT Urban Fellows Program.Applications for the program, which isboth a community service project andan academic program, must be return-ed by Thursday, April 24.

The Program, financed by theUrban Systems Laboratory and byother Institute funds, has three majorcomponents: Summer fellowships forup to 15 Urban Action Fellows, con-tinuing liaison work with neighbor-hood agencies during the academicyear, and participation in an academicseminar in the fall.

Mr. Frank S. Jones, Executive Dir-ector of the Urban Systems Laboratoryand a Lecturer in the Department ofCivil Engineering, will be the FacultyAdvisor of the Program. Several addi-tional faculty consultants will assist inadvising the various groups. TomWoodruff will serve as Program Co-ordinator.

Target areas for placement of stud-

ents include Cambridge, Roxbury, theSouth End and possibly Somerville.Discussions are underway with severalagencies in these areas to work out thestructure of the Fellows' participationthere.

Fellows will receive Fellowships(likely in excess of $1000) for theirsummer work, which will last fromJune 16 to late August. Fellows willwork full-time, except for one morningor afternoon each week during whichindividual groups will come to MIT toevaluate their roles with the facultyconsultants. In addition, there will be aweekly evening session in which all theFellows will meet to compare theirexperiences and to hold discussionswith city official or communityleaders.

The academic seminar in the fallwould carry 18 units, 15 of whichcomprise continuing communityinvolvement, through an action pro-gram or as a liaison between NIITUrban Action and the community.

There is much more; ho-wever, thiebasic point is that, in this case, theso-calledpmaanoia of the radical stu-dents was borne out in writing. In fact,at one point, Ford states that 'whatbothers me the most is the underlyingtheme of the entire resolution, a desireto go on record against all thingsmilitary, unaccompanied by any ra-tional evaluation of such action on alarge number of non-militaristicpeople, upon vast questions of foreignpolicy (which effect I should supposeto be just about nil) and upon thepublic standing of this University(which effect, by contrast, I can wellimagine being massive)."

In the above quotation, it is in-teresting to note the two prime con-cemns: the effect on the public standingof Harvard, and the necessity for"rational -evaluation." In the truefashion of all social scientists, Ford hasused the second excuse to promulgatethe establishment. It is a simple matterto call anything which disagrees withyour tenets "irrational"; then, if you

are the authority in your field, it isbranded as such, and assumes much thesame status to others in the professionas the Untouchables in India do toother citizens.

Given this sort of evidence, it isdifficult to understand how anyone inhis right mind can take a standopposing those who went into Uni-versity Hall. There is clear evidencehere which would make a supporter of

'the conspiracy theory of history

chortle with glee. There is evidence

that -the student and faculty suspicion

that they were being co-opted on the

ROTC issue were absolutely right. It is

very easy to talk in such pious phrases

as "keeping al the channels of com-

munication open", and "keep* force

off the campus", but-the questionnow -becomes one of exactly who closed off

the channels of communication, who

was guilty of the first use of force. Itis, of course, impossible to argue that

two wrongs make a right; yet, exactlywhat are the students to do when all

the legitfimate channels of dissent havebeen exhausted?

TECH

surface, this seems to be a valid principle. However,President Howard Johnson told SACC members in ameeting last Friday that MIT did indeed screensome projects and did not permit them in Institutefacilities. Clearly the decision to forbid these pro-jects while permitting MIRV, ABM, and Viet Namhelicopter work was made by a minority of theInstitute community using criteria known only tothem. Given the current national situation, we feelthat the time has come for the Institute communityas--a--whole to reexamine the criteria by which suchprojects are- permitted or forbidden on campus.

What ideally should happen is that the corn-munity as a whole will reach some sort 'of under-standing concerning the degree to which one man orgroup can do research which may be questionable ormorally repugnant to a large number or a majorityof the community. It is unrealistic to expect this.

,What may instead arise from this discussion isthat the issue will be settled between two polarizedminorities. One will hold that the higher moral good,is the elimination of war research on campus, just asthwarting gas chamber construction under the Naziswould have been. The other will hold that whilethey do not condone the war or an extension of USoverkill in the strategic arena, they feel (withVoltaire)that the higher moral good is to allow theindividual to do whatever he wishes, regardless ofwhether or not others agree with the moral conse-quences of that work. The majority of the Institutecommunity may be content to let the minoritiesslug it out.

We have not yet been convinced by either side.The very fact that this is a moral issue means that itwill be difficult to debate this in logical terms. Butit is a debate of conscience which must be under-taken now.

SACC's current efforts to curtail research on the.

ABM, MIRV, and Viet Nam helicopters in MITspecial labs raised some very grave questions.

We wholeheartedly agree with SACC that MIT

must be independent of government influence andmust do everything in its power to question moreclosely Washington policies it is asked o support.However, we feel that SACC has not given sufficientthought to finding a means of accomplishing thiswithout violating basic principles on which theInstitute policies are based.

We agree that no one at MIT should be forced towork on a government project against his will. Tothe best of our knowledge, this has not happened.We also -believe that steps should be taken to avoidthe situation' in which researchers are de factocoerced into working in certain areas which servethe interests of the military-industrial complex. Itseems that only the government has enough moneyto support science today. The fact that 92% of allresearch on campus is financed by the government

through one agency or another (according to JackRuina, Vice-President for Special Labs) indicates themagnitude of real or potential governmental lever-age over the scientific community.

However, when SACC or anyone else presumesto tell another member of the Institute communitywhat sort of research he may or may not do, hesteps into the shaky grey area of defining academicfreedom. One tenet of the doctrine of academicfreedom is that every researcher should be able todo whatever research he deems interesting and rele-vant. What procedures should exist for determining

that someone cannot do a certain type of work?Some might argue that SACC, as a minority, has

no riaht. to determine what sort of research anothermember of the MIT'community can do. On the

Student members of he -New Leftare often denigrated by their elder,liberal counterparts-for their seemingparanoia toward many of the institu-tions of this society and the motives ofthe people running them,. However,recently exposed documents from Har-vard have indicated that, as with manyother things, there is a time for para-noia.

Those unfamiliar with those docu-ments will, no doubt, be wonderingwhat they said. For a complete text,reference should be made to the OldMole's Strike Specials number 2 and 3.In those two issues were publishedletters from Harvard Deans FranklinFord and Fred Glimp to President

Nathan Pusey. Ford's letter is much

the more nauseating of the two. In that

communication (which is clearly la-belled "CONFIDENTIAL"), he dis-

cusses various possible ways of evading

the faculty motion which Would havedenied academic credit TO ROTC.

Briefly, the four ways he suggests are:

(1) the Corporation reject flatly the

faculty recommendations; (2) the Cor-

poration request opinions from Other

faculties. However, he Points out that

such referral "might only make things

worse" Unless there Were a clear rejec-

tion of the -idea forthcoming from

those bodies; (3) the C'rporation openexploratory discussions with the three

services, using an "advisory committee

drawn from all the faculties." Then, if

some non-negotiable point emerged,

the matter could be referred back to

the faculty, "either with a question as

to how to treat that condition ox with

a flat announcement that the Corpor-

ation would offer professorial appoint-

ments to the ROTC unit heads, quite

outside the structure of this faculty."

(4) the Corporation might choose notto accept the motion in its present

form, but refer them' bac-for furtherwork. Presumably, the Whole questioncould then be put off until the facultyhad gotten done haggling over detailsand, given the rule that the intelligenceof a committee is lower than that ofthe least intelligent member, this couldtake some time.

THEffPresident Nixon's decision to deny the appoint-

ment as head of the National Science Foundation tc

Dr. Franklin Long solely on the basis of his standagainst the ABM represents a grave threat to thescientific community.

The head of NSF supervises the allocation ofcivilian'research grants to various scientists on thebasis of the scientific merit of the projects theypropose. -It is a distinctly non-political position.Does this mean that the government will nextinquire concerning a scientist's views on ABM (orotier, related, issues) before he can receive a grant?How far will political interference in science gobefore it can be stopped?

One is tempted to feat that we may be witnes-sing a. return to the psychology of the JosephMcCarthy era in which the great physicist RobertOppenheimer was stripped of his security clearancebecause he counseled against building the hydrogenbomb. At least one columnist, Joseph Alssop, hasdenounced Provost Jerome Wiesner's opposition tothe ABM as similiar to Oppenheimer's position onthe hydrodgen bomb.

It seems to us that if these attitudes are presentiri Washington, it may be a shorter step than we

might think to the Soviet situation in whichphysicist Andrei Sakharov was stripped of hisposition as a punishment for writing a paper insupport of US-USSR detente.

If the Long case is typical of the Nixonadministration's attitudes on science, this can onlyrepresent the beginning of an estrangement of thescientific community from the Nixon administra-tion. The result of this will be the loss to the nation

of the counterweight which the scientific commun^

ity provides against the military-industrial complex.If Nixon thinks he will be able to find a

pro-ABM scientist who has the confidence of thescientific community to head NSF, he had betterlook again. There aren't any.

ABIM -againPresident Nixon's latest jiggle on the ABM

question 'could be thought of as the latest amusingabsurdity in his tortured logic- in defense of thisboondoggle, were the consequences of building thissystem not so tragic.

When the nation would not accept ABM as ananti-China system, Nixon came up with Safeguard asan anti-Russian system. He tried to scare us intoaccepting it by waving the Russian SS9-missile in ourface. Then, he tried to cajole us into accepting thisnew weapons system as a means for reducingweapons systems competition. But the countrywouldn't be scared or cajoled.

Now, in his most recent press conference, we areagain defending against the Chinese. He speaks ofthe need to defend our cities against a Chineseattack to make our Asian diplomacy credible. Ofcourse, the system he proposes is not really designedto defend our cities at all, but is basically designedto protect our missiles against the Russian's.

When will Nixon admit that this system cannotbe logically justified, and that its primary purpose isto give the military a new toy? Safeguard is surely"a weapons system in search of a mission." It stilthasn't found one.

The reliefs, covered with a highlyreflective coating of refined sand,white acrylic paint, and miniscule glassbeads, convey an impression of purety,while the forms combine movementwith a feeling of deep space.

By Shari RiffSo we're performing at the Ark? Is

that why all these pigs come in pairs?After last year's brilliant perfor-

mance of the San Francisco MimeTroupe at Brandeis, the Troupe's per-formance at the Ark Tuesday andWednesday was mildly disappointing.The characterizing physical actionswhich are the substantial part of themeaning of the Troupe's messages weremissing, and a general lack of poignantpuns and creativity in production gaveone the feeling that the Mime Troupewas less in tune with the "now"problems than in past performances.

The Troupe performed '"The Farceof Patelin," an adaptation of a 15thcentury French farce about businessschemes and the profit motive. Theythen presented the "Gutter Puppets,"which were human, paper mache, felt,and feathers, commenting on parkingmeters and civil rights. "The SFMTMarching Gorilla Band" sang, "Oh, saycan you see. .. the rockets' red glare-boom, crash, gronk-the bombs burs-ting in air-boom, crash, gronk. . "Borrowing the "cranky" (a theatricaldevice: picture scrolls) from PeterSchumann's "Bread and Puppet Thea-ter," the Troupe nearly duplicated theperformance of the Bread and PuppetTheater's play a few months ago at theCaravan Theater in Cambridge.

Despite these faults, the MimeTroupe did put on an enjoyable showwhich had its very funny moments. Inone such scene the seven actorsclimbed over the audience (who wereseated on rubber pads on the floor)selling armed revolutionary kits. Thesecompact kits contained an SFMT pos-ter, a piece of chalk for writing anti-war slogans on buildings, a tin beer canring for putting in parking meters, and

By Robert FourerMost fantasies are failures, either

because it becomes clear too late thatthey are supposed to be fantasies, orbecause they add so: many fantasticplot devices they become annoyinglyinconsistent; Alexander, at the ExeterStreet Theatre, avoids both pitfallsentirely, and it's funny to boot-areccommrnendation for any film, espe-cially if you're in a mood to relax andforget about everything else. But betterryet, relaxation is just what this one is

all about-so if anything, it's twice asappealing.

Of course, the leisure is on a scale abit more fantastic than one might hopefor. Alexander is a French farmer ofexceptional strength, who is henpeckedby his wife (appropriately called LaGrande) into running their large farmentirely by himself. Her strict routineallows him a minimum of rest; andwhile he is helpless in the face of herdemands, he vows he'll get back some-day. Suddenly, and mysteriously, hiswife dies, leaving him alone and free.When mourners at the funeral ask himwhat he'll do next, he replies only"nothing;" and as he has promisedhimself, that's exactly what he does.

Clever plottingIn brief, Alexander goes to bed for

town's hardest worker; and worse still,'his conversion soon becomes an -epide-mic, when other laborers decide he'sright and go off.to. sleep themselves.The developments, from this point, areboth clever and hilarious. However;since their humor depends so much onthe atmosphere the film creates, anyattempt at further description in aserious review would be foolish-if thelaughs sounded 'good in print, theyprobably wouldn't make much of amovie anyhow.

It's also important to note thatAlexander is not just a one-joke farce,or a string of one-liners; a full-lengthmovie needs more than that to stayinteresting to the end. Not only are theplot elements and characters cleverlydevised, and sufficiently unpredictableto both make them funny and holdattention; but the plot in general ishumorous. And that's hardly surpri-sing, since the whole idea is appeal-ing-what would happen if everyonetook off as much time as he wasentitled to? It's not hard to sympathizewith a character who manages to lieback and enjoy himself, despite theschemes of everyone around him.

Fine acting, shootingTo add to the effect, the film is

shot in luscious color, with a sort ofwhimsical attitude that delightfullymatches everything else. And as Alex-

afnder, Phillippe Noiret handles his roleso well it's hard to 'imagine he reallystarted out witha script that mighthave been played some other way. Inaddition, the supporting cast is compa-rable.

Like any fantasy, Alexander won'tbe too appealing if you've just beenworrying about the-problems of leisuretime among the working class, or areabsorbed by a masterful novel aboutmodern society. It would seem onlytrivial. What it's good for is to forgetproblems for a few hours-hopefullyones that could do with a little forget-ting-and just laugh and enjoy some-thing.

Short film balletAlso on the bill is a 1 5-minute

short, Duo, which goes a little bittoward developing a cinematic adapta-tion of ballet. The two dancers are shotin black and white, with an unusuallighting that turns them into smoothglowing figures and obscures bodilydetails. Much use is made of multipleimages, often with amazing effects;though there is a tendency for thefigures to become too cartoon-like attimes, destroying much of the emotionassociated with the human fiture. Moreand different techniques would benecessary to try something similar thatlasts much longer; but as a short iteasily held the audience's attention.(The filmhn is distributed by the Cana-dian National Film Board, for anyonewho's interested.)

The Mime Troupe plans to switchits style from commedia to Chineseopera. The new theater, says theTroupe, accepts the task of comnmuni-cating to a crisis-concious audience.We can expect good things to resultfrom these new efforts, and hopefullythe Troupe's next Boston appearancewill surpass even their 1967 Brandeisproduction.

With CaptainDerek Moss holding onto the ball, theforwards from both teams grabbedhold and began pushing. Slowly Techground the Ephs back across the goalline, where Moss was able to touch theball down to make the score 8-3.

At this point in the second half, theengineers still had a chance to comeftck and win, but two injuries leavingthe team shorthanded and. a poorreferee's decision after a possible Techscore left Williams with its victory.

Despite the poor weather and re-suits, both games were prime examplesof good-rugby.

By Ray KwasnickThe tennis team crushed another

foe as the engineers registered a 9-0blanking of Colby on Thursday. Thevictory increased the raquetmen'srecord to an excellent 7-2 mark. Theteam was rained out of an away en-counter with Wesleyan on Saturday.Today they host Boston College in anattempt to continue their winningways.

The whitewashing was the secondstraight administered by the Techraquetmen and third of the season.Bowdion and Worcester of Ohio werethe previous victims. The win overColby was the fifteenth in eighteenmatches against the Maine school inthe series of contests dating back to1937.

Skip Brookfield '69 playing in thetop spot had the most trouble of anyof the Tech entries. He grabbed a quick3-0 lead in the first set, but his Mainefoe battled back with aggressive play totake the only set Colby wen all day.However, Brookfield recaptured hisconsistent form in the second set witha 64 win. The southpaw continued toapply the pressure in the third set, andhis foe fell apart before the potentattack.

The rest of the engineers were never-in any danger as the match was remark-

ably short. The second, third, andfourth engineer seeds (Bob McKinley'69, Tom Stewart '69, and Bob Met-calfe '69) all swept their opponentsaside with easy 6-0, 6-2 triumphs.

Colby's lower seeds proved to be asweak as the top of the ladder. JuniorManny Weiss utilized a very steadygame and capitalized on the manyerrors of his foe to score a 6-0, 6-1victory. In the number six slot, JoeBaron '70 padded the victory marginwith a 6-0, 6-3 win.

Consistency was also the theme for-

the Tech doubles pairs as they all won.McKinley and Weiss- came out on topby 6-2, 6-2 at number one, Metcalfeand Stewart won 6-1, 6-2 in the secondslot, while Brookfield and ScudderSmith were 6-2, 6-2 victors as the thirddoubles pair.

Rugbyj squadsto a highly r

By Don ArkinThe Tech rugby club traveled about

150 miles to Williamstown to partici-pate in the highly uncomfortable ex-perience of playing rugby in the pour-ing, freezing rain. Although both the Aand B games were highly competitive,the Williams squads showed why theyare rated among the best in the North-east by toppling their guests 11-0 and8-3.

By the time Tech reached Williams,it had been raining for several hoursand the temperature was down toabout 35 degrees. It hailed intermit-tently during the game.

Needless to say, the backs for bothteams had trouble handling the ball.Unfortunately for Tech, Williams had acouple of very powerful and swiftrunners who made exciting runs whichaccounted for, or set up, all ofWilliams' scores. Williams' second trywas scored on a beautiful play, whenthe wing was able to get around theTech line after breaking one tackle. Hethen managed to out-sprint the entireTech team for about 75 yards andthree points.

- Tech had several chances to score.when they had moved the ball near theWilliams goal line, but each time, thehome team's defense held. Tech's bestchance to score turned into a heart-breaking experience as Charlie Finn'spenalty kick from about 25 yards hitthe crossbar and bounced back.

The B game was even more closelycontested than the A game, althoughthe results were similar. The Techserum consistently pushed the Williams

were in very good condition last Fri-day, but the play was good enough toprovide the golf team with their firstwin of the season. The engineers edgedTufts 4-3 while dropping a 5-2 decisionto Wesleyan.

It's what's up front that counts, andthe Tech leaders have had their pro-blems. TI'hey have picked up only 1 of12' possible points so far this season.Don Anderson '70, playing at numbertwo, got the first win for the top threepositions this year on Friday, as heedged his Tufts opponent.

Greg Kast '69, who moved fromfourth position to first on the strengthof his fine 73 in the Brown-Holy Crossmatch, had dropped both his matchesFriday by the time he reached thethirteenth hole. Number three manMike McMahan '69 had trouble withthe bumpy greens. At one point he rana tricky down-hiller off the green andinto a pond.

By the time fourth man Carl Everett'69 came off the course the match withWesleyan was over as Tech dropped thefirst four contests. However, Everettsquared the Tufts match at 2-2 with asolid victory,

A double loss at number five byBob Armstrong '71 put the engineersdown again, but Ken Smolek '70 whohad dropped from first position toseventh, returned to form. He defeatedboth his opponents and again evenedthe Tufts match.

That left it all up to captain TomThomas '69 who came through in thefinal holes to edge both his foes byidentical 1-up margins, giving MIT a4-3 win over Tufts.
