The Walker Memorial Strategic PlanningCommittee is currently developing a "programconcept to determine ... the mission" of Walk-er Memorial, said Director of the CampusActivities Complex Phillip 1. Walsh, chair ofthe committee.

The plan will examine both the physicalrepairs needed and a restructuring of the inter-nal space for more efficient and diverse use,said Amy T. Mackay '97, the student repre en-tative of East Campus and Senior Hou e.

Suggestions have included propo al for a

wellness and fitness center, a performing artscenter, a grad'uate student center, a culturalcenter, and an international center, Walsh said.The final plan may incorporate one or more ofthese recommendations, he said.

Walker still needs "major reconstruction" torepair structural problems, meet safety codes,and comply with the Americans with Disabili-ties Act of 1990, Mackay said. Plan for this'summer include replacing the elevator, con-verting a torage room into a handicap-acce i-ble re troom, and repairing acce ramps on thethird floor, Wal h said.

Walker has already undergone several reno-

vations over the past year. The third-floor gym-nasium, which was closed and repaired lastyear because of structural problems, was sand-ed and refinished last summer. The gymnasi-um, which serves as a testing room during theweek, is open for basketball and volleyball onFriday nights and weekend .

Clinton also paid special tributeto the peoples of Great Britain anthe former Soviet Union.

Clinton-Yeltsin Summit PointsTo Future of U.S.-Russia Relations

LOS A GELES TIMES

PARIS

A grinning Jacques Chirac, the French president-elect, acceptedcongratulations from world leaders and chatted easily with outgoingPresident Francois Mitterrand during V-E Day festivities here Monday.

But, when the celebrations were over, Chirac began the task ofputting together his new government, due to take over sometime nextweek, certain in the knowledge that his presidential honeymoon maybe one of the shortest in French history.

Chirac's victory over Lionel Jospin, a Socialist, by a margin of about53 percent to 47 percent, has for the first time in 21 years put the conser-vative descendants of Charles de Gaulle in power in both the law-mak-ing ational Assembly and the presidency, creating both a formidableforce for change and a charged atmosphere for social upheaval.

For the con ervatives' political opponents on the left, who includemajor trade unions and advocates for the homeless and jobless, theonly avenue for protest until legislative elections in 1998 will be inthe streets, where a crisis of confidence in the new government couldbe born.

And, leaders of tho e groups say, that is just where they will be ifChirac doesn't soon deliver on his vague promises fo increase salariesin industrie where the economic recovery has begun, and, at thesame time, reduce unemployment, which now stands at 12.3 percent,the highest of any leading industrialized nation.

MO cowCold War summitry had one clear goal: to lessen the chances of

global thermonuclear war.In the early years of Ru sian democracy, U.S.-Russian summit

aimed to support Russian reform and cement the U.S.-Russian part-nership.

ow, as Pre ident Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsinprepare to meet here this week, the goals are as murky as the futureof U.S.-Russian relations. The two powers, while certainly n'ot ColdWar-style enemie , seem to be operating on entirely different wave-lengths, responding to domestic political pressure that pull bothaway from common language and toward confrontation over a host ofniggling and not-so-niggling issues.

Russia and the United States continue to share many basic inter-e t on the world scene, analysts here said, and their differences -unlike in Cold War days - are not world-threatening. But both coun-tries have shed the euphoria of their pOst-Soviet embrace without aclear sense of what comes next.

"The rules of the game for Russian-American relations are reallyill-defined," said Michael McFaul, an expert on Russian politics atthe Carnegie Moscow Center. "The Russians don't understand theAmericans' intentions, the Americans don't understand the Russians'intentions, and both sides are doing a pretty bad job of communicat-ing them."

More than three months after promising juror that D A testresult would connect 0.1. Simpson to a pair of bloody homicides,prosecutors began the ta k Monday of presenting that crucial evi-dence, opening the most important phase of their case with a briefseminar on genetics.

Dr. Robin Cotton, director of the nation's largest private DNAlaboratory, began her testimony by delivering a basic primer on howDNA works, peppering her lecture with a series of metaphors intend-ed to illuminate the scientifically dense topic. At various points, Cot-ton compared D A to an alphabet, a thread, a zipper, a pair of inter-woven ribbons, a chapter in the genetic book that is the chromosomeand a blueprint for human development similar to the plans for erect-ing a building.

"If we make the assumption that a blueprint contains all the infor-mation for how to build your house," she said, "the analogy is thatDNA contains all the information on how to build you," .

Though she did not describe any results of DNA tests performed byher laboratory in this case, prosecutors say tho e results will reveal atrail of blood linking Simp on to the murder scene - showing thatblood with some of his genetic characteristics was at the scene and thatblood apparently from both victims, Ronald Lyle Goldman and NicoleBrown Simpson, was found inside his car and at his Brentwood estate.

Simpson has pleaded not guilty to the June 12, 1994, killings, andhis legal team is prepared to mount an aggressive challenge to theDNA evidence.

Looking directly at jurors and speaking in a soft, clear voice, Cot-ton illustrated her testimony Monday with neatly drawn charts onsheets of butcher-block paper. She told juror that degradation ofDNA samples never would cause a sample to falsely point to a sus-pect, a notion that defense attorneys have hinted at for week .

Senate Republicans Scale BackProduct Liability Legislation

Prosecutors in Simpson CaseIntroduce DNA Evidence

WS ANGELES TIMESWASHI GTON

Senate Republican leaders, chastened by dissent within their ownparty over a bill to overhaul product liability statutes, on Mondayagreed to a compromise measure that would substantially scale backan ambitious first draft of the reform legislation.

The new proposal, hammered out by Senate Majority Leader Bob. Dole, R-Kan., Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., and Democrat John D.

Rockefeller IV, O-W.Va., would limit the punitive awards that juriescould give plaintiffs in product liability lawsuits to two times theircompensatory damages, or $250,000, whichever is greater. .

At the same time, it would give judges discretion to hand out larg-er awards, although in such cases, a defendant would be entitled toreceive a new trial.

Finally, in cases where small businesses are defendants, the com-promise bill would limit punitive damages to twice compensatorydamages or $250,000, whichever is lesser, giving judges no discre-tion. The measure, which Rockefeller predicted would win "verybroad support," is to be voted on Tuesday.

Is it ironic that some of the same studentswho feel it's nuisance to fill in all those formsare the same people who turn'to the Guideevery semester looking for advice?

In reality, the CEG threatens to fold everyfew years because of lack of interest andbecause of the enormous academic and emo-tional drain of such responsibility. The lasttime was Nov, 1993, when every editor and-every experienced person quit and washed

, their hands of the entire matter.I think we have recovered significantly

The previous constitution was written by people who knewthat their successors might try to make rash changes. They wise- :ly fonnulated protections, checks, and balances to keep the con-stitution coherent and viable. But no protection is effective ifthe officers choose to simply run roughshod over the rules.Thankfully, the UAC recognized this yesterday and demandedthat the rules be followed.

Furthennore, by their own admission, council memberswaltzed into yesterday's meeting without having seen the text ofthe new constitution. Rarely has MIT witness~d so great animpropriety as the suspension of UA rules to replace an old con-stitution with a new document sight unseen. No matter how .important the changes, there is time to make them.according tothe rules and with proper consideration.

The constitution is the fundamental document of studentgovernment. To change it in such a r~ckless, injudici9US, and timmature manner is a disgrace that should not be allowed tohappen.

The leadership of the Undergraduate Association hasreached a new low in its brazen manipulation of its own rules.

Yesterday's unsuccessful attempt. EditorilLl to replace the UA constitution hasfurther broken leaders' trust with

the tudent body. The action would be laughable ifit wasn't soheinous a violation of their own con titution.

The motion that was used to replace the constitution read:uResolved, that the Undergraduate Association Council. .. makeamendments to the UA Constitution without regard to provi-sions of the previous Constitution." Any reasonable person,regardless of their background, can see that this is simplysmoke-and-mirror phraseology being used to hide a flagrantviolation of the rules.

What is even more frightening is that this is not the firsttime the UA has played with the rules. In the middle of the pastelection, to the consternation of The Tech and the candidates,they abruptly changed the dates and requirements. Thankfully,in the resulting furor, the Judicial Review Board stayed theaction and the UA president vetoed it. .

But it seems that the UA cronies (including non-studentJason Solinsky '94) are intent not only on repeating their mis-

Once upon a time there was a old shoe-maker who worked very hard but stillremained very poor. One night, he carefullylaid out the strips of leather on his work benchand went to bed. The next morning, he awokewith great surprise to find a completed pair ofshoes. How did that happen, he wondered. Sothe shoemaker stayed up one night and sawthat there were little elves who took pity onhim and made the shoes at night.

Every semester, students around the Insti-tute fill out bubble and written comment forms,in praise and complaint of their professors.These forms travel from about 350 classes inthe 30 departments (including each division ofCourse 21, Science, Technology, and Societyand the program in Media Arts and Sciences)to a mysterious office, known to them only asW2Q-403.There the forms are magicaJlytrans-formed into the 200-plus page Course ~valua-tion Guide.

Tech Cartoon Erred: King Favored Affirmative ActionGuest Column by Jonathan D. Taylor

In the May 2 is ue of The Tech. there wasa cartoon depicting Martin Luther King deliv-ering his famous "I Have a Dream" speech[Opinion. May 2]. The cartoon ended with asolemn-looking man saying, "Amen," holdinga report entitled "affirmative action." It is notmy aim here to discu the merits and draw-

acks of affirmative action. Suffice it to saythat periodic reviews of public policy arehealthy in a democracy. and affirmativeaction, like any other policy, should beassessed to make sure its actual and intendedeffects coincide. What I do want to point out- to the contrary of what was implied in thecartoon - is that Martin Luther King favoredaffirmative action.

Consider the Jan. 1965 Playboy interviewwith King. King was asked about a $50 bil-lion program of low interest housing andbusiness loans, medical care, and other itemsthat he and other civil rights leaders wereproposing. He hoped this program wouldachieve. in his words, a "genuine and dra-matic transformation ... in the conditions of

egro life in America." One component ofthis program wa imilar to a provision inthe GI Bill of Right for those returningfrom World War II. According to King. ex-GIs received" pecial point to place themahead in competition for civil service job ."These special points created an environmentthat "encourage[d] preferential empJoy-IJ)ent." liere are some excerpts from theinterview.

"Question: Do you feel it's fair to request amulti-billion-dollar program of preferentialtreatment for the egro, or for any otherminority group?

"King: I do indeed ... Within common law.we have ample precedents for special com-pensatory programs. which are regarded assettlements. American Indians are still beingpaid for. land In a settlement manner. Is nottwo centuries of labor. which helped to buildthis country, a real commodity?

"Question: If a nationwide program ofpreferential employment for Negroes were tobe adopted, how would you propose toassuage the resentment of whites who alreadyfeel that their jobs are being jeopardized by

the influx of egroes resulting from desegre-gation? .

• King: We must develop a federal programof public works, retraining and jobs for all -so that none. white or black. will have cause .to feel threatened. At the present time, thou-sands of job a week are di appearing in thewake of automation and other production effi-ciency techniques. Black and white. we willall be harmed unless something grand andimaginative is done. The unemployed, pover-ty- tricken white man must be made to realizethat he is in the very same boat with the

egro. Together. they could exert massivepressure on the government to get jobs for all.Together. they could form a grand alliance.Together. they could merge all people for thegood of all."

Take. as another example. King's descrip-tion of Operation Breadbasket. an operationhe developed with the goal of "securing ...more and better jobs for the Negro people."The following is an excerpt from King's 1967Where Do We Gofrom Here?

"Operation Breadbasket is carried outmainly by clergymen. First, a team of minis-

ters calls on the management of a business inthe community to request basic facts on thecompany's total number of employees. thenumber of egro employees, the departmentor job classification in which all are located.and the salary ranges for each category. Theteam then returns to the steering 'committee toevaluate the data and to make a recommenda-tion concerning the number of new andupgraded jobs that should be requested. Thedecision on the number of jobs requested isusually based on population figures. Forinstance, if a city has a 30 percent egro pop-ulation. ttfen it is logical to assume thatNegroes should have at least 30 percent of thejobs in any particular company, and jobs inall categories rather than only in menialareas. as the case almost always happens tobe."

.{ think it is fair to say that King saw noinconsistency between his dream of a "color-blind" America and his .remedies for the"color-conscious" one. Opponents of Affirma-tive Action are being dishonest when theysugge t otherwise.

O. SUBJECTS WANTEDSPEECH PRODUCTION EXPERIMENTS

Nature of experir:nents: Recording of articulatory movements with analternating magnetic field mov~ment transducer system. The subject has atransmitter assembly secured. to her/his head with a headband. Threetransmitters generate alternating magnetic.fields in the frequency range 60-80kHz. The fields induce voltages in small receiver coils which are glued to thetongue, lips, jaw, etc. and are connected to electronics with fine wires. Thesubject reads a number 'of sentenCes while t~e movement transducer signalsand an acoustic signal are being digitized. In 'addition,. a simultaneous videorecording is made of the subject's face. We will also make an MRI (MagneticResonance .Image) recording of the subject's vocal tract at the Imaging Center.of the Mass. General Hospital. Subject screening include'$ having a dentalimpression made of the upper jaw.Requirements: SubjeGt~ should have normal speech and hearing and benative speakers of American English. Also required are dependability,patience and tolerance of having instruments and transducers placed in the~mouth. MRI recordings need to be made at oed hours and for them, it is,highly desirable to have very few metal dental fillings. Subjects should beavailable beginning around mid summer and in the fall term.

Duration: Approximately three hours for each type of recording. Typically,we will m.ake three 3-hour articulatory movement recordings and one 3-hour iMRI recording for each subject. :

Pay: $25 per hour for all time spent plus bonuses for good performance insome tests. A full set of recordings results in a total payment of around $500.Contact: Dr. Perkell (253-3223 or e-mail: subjects@speech.mit.edu)

Letters 1b TheEditor"More Is Better"

Oversimplifies theImmigration Issue

The letter by Christopher P. Hanson '80["Immigrants Do Create Job ,n ~lY 5] pointsout that studies have shown immigrants create. bs for the economy. He then makes the error

xtrapo}ating these results into the illegalimmigrant issue - that if some immigrationis good, a lot of immigration must be better.

If we were to plot the economic effect ofimmigrants versus number of immigrantsadmitted each year, we would find (as thestlidies have shown) that in small numbersthey produce a net benefit to the economy.Say we were to admit 100 million immigrantsthis year - it would throw our economicinfrastructure into chaos. Connect these twopoints and somewhere in between there is apoint where additional immigration starts to

become bad for the economy.The que tion is not whether immigration i

good or bad - it can be both. The questionsare: At what point does immigration becomebad? Are we able to determine thi point accu-rately enough to make good immigration poli-cy? Can we do so in an unbiased manner?Have we exceeded thi point? And if so, towhat lengths should we go to discourageimmigration beyond this point (i.e., illegalimmigration)?

I dQn't know the answers to the e ques-tions. But pointing to studies that how ourcurrent limited immigration creates jobs over-simplifies the issue.

MITSO Review DoesThe Tech a DisserviceI recently came across the review of the

concert given by the MIT Symphony Orches-

tra on March 10 ["MIT Symphony disappointsin group supporting role," March 14]. I hope itis not too late to request someone other thanThomas Chen to review the orchestra. He dida real di ervice to the credibility of The Techin writing hi last review.

If Chen believes that the violin ections"sound like someone taking a rake and drag-ging it over a chalkboard," then why does hebother going to the concerts? Actually, Iwould like to ask jf he really went to this con-cert. Contrary to his snobbish, derogatorycomments, the string played in tune and withgood tone. The or:chestra played well as anensemble. Granted, there were mistake ; thisis an amateur orche tra, composed mo tly ofvery busy tudent. These mistake aside, theTchaikovsky was very well received by theaudience.

Strangers approached mem bers of theorchestra after the concert to prai e the perfor-mance of the Tchaikovsky. Professional mu i-cians told [Conductor David] Ep tein that it

was a remarkably fine performance. If the per-formance was truly as horrible as Chen wouldlead one to believe, then why would audiencemember say such things?

In addition to writing statements that vergeon libel, Chen writes laughably bad prose. Hisdescription of the Tchaikovsky seems to comefrom liner notes, and extremely poor ones atthat. There are technical flaws as well. Heuses tautologies, such as "a popular favorite."I have never heard of an unpopular favorite."Bassoon" is pelled, as one can see, with notone "s," but two. Someone using such superi-or tones in his writing ought to take care thatthe writing itself is impeccable.

I realize that this review was an individ-ual's opinion, but Chen seems to have hisobjective reviewing abilities clouded by preju-dices. In the interest of fair reporting, TheTech should end someone else to the perfor-mance of the German Requiem. Chen doesnot seem up to the task.

The Englishman is an excellent film,although it does leave some questions unan-swered. For starters: Where are all the localwomen? If all of the village's young men areaway fighting the Germans, then why arethere so many able-bodied men left in thetown? Women are all but nonexistent in thefilm. Although wives are shown carrying 0.;

. alongside their husbands, only one femacharacter is given a personality. Even then,Miss Elizabeth (Tara Fitzgerald) does notappear until the end, when her flirtatious per::fIlsonality is called upon to provide a reason forAnson to stick around another day. But evenwith this gender bias, The Englishman pro-vides a pleasing portrait of a provincial pocketof Welsh patriarchy.

example, the camera pans across the faces ofeveryone present, firmly establishing theirlocal importance. The narrator too is influen-tial in lending the film a nostalgic touch.When the camera zeroes in on one person inparticular, the narrator will utter a few linesabout the person. In this way viewers areintroduced to the bartender, the preacher, therailroad ticket-taker, the blacksmith, the neu-rological war casualty, and the village's iden-tical "teched" idiots. Every bucketfull of dirtis important, the film seems to say, and everycarrier is playing a crucial role in the estab-lishment of Fillan Garoo as an official moun-tain.

A comical sub-plot develops around thevillagers' attempts to keep the English map-makers in town until the hill has reached itscritical level. The villagers do everythingthey can think of, from slashing tires and dis-sasembling Anson's automobile to feigningignorance about the existence of outboundtrains. Another plot tw.ist comes from Mother

ature. Rain sets in just as Fillan Garoo has

Although the locals are excited by theprospect of eeing their tiny town on one ofHer Majesty's official maps, they become out-raged when Anson announces that theirbeloved Fillan Garoo is but a 984-foot hil!.According to the official geological rules, amountain must measure at least one thousandfeet. The scrappy villagers thus take it uponthemselves to correct mother nature's "error"by hauling sixteen feet of dirt up the hill inwooden buckets.

The amazing thing about The Englishmanis that although the plot is incredibly simple,viewers are nonetheless drawn in. DirectorChristopher Monger goes out of his way tocapture the villagers' indignation at the Eng-lishmen's official demotion of their preciouspile of dirt. "The Germans have taken ourlads," the narrator proclaims, "and now theEngli h have taken our mountain. Is nothingsacred?"

The film's strength stems from its abilityto turn nearly every male villager into a char-acter in his own right. In the local pub, for

Other choreogra-phers eeking distinctly different ideas in bal-let soon recognized the richness of Scarlatti'ssonatas - thus came Harlequin for President(1936), La Reja {I959), and Scarlatti (1979).In 1969, Kurt-Heinz Stolze composed varia-tions on themes from Scarlatti to develop anindependent orchestral arrangement, whichalso included the long-neglected harpsichord.The final re ult is an orchestral form of cham-ber music in the Baroque style - as strange

yet most delightful a musical feast for the earsas the delicate dancing is for the eyes.

o doubt that Pollyana Ribeiro (Kather-ine) and Patrick Armand (Petruchio) deservemuch praise for the success of this ballet. Theskill with which Ribeiro personifies the tem-peramental Katherine, as well as her abrupttransformation, is remarkable even by Broad-way standards. Armand deserves equal appre-ciation both for his acting and for his dancingtechnique, which makes the toughest moves

, seem effortless. Otherdancers will take turns asKatherine and Petruchio- all worth seeing,though this coming Fri-day and Sunday BostonBallet will host WilliamMarie, and I especiallysuggest watching himwith Larissa Pono-marenko. Paul Thrussell,Robert Wallace and Vic-tor Plotnikov will alsoappear as Petruchio, whileJennifer Gelfand andAdriana Suarez will alsostar a Katherine.

Taming of the Shrew isa suitable choice forBoston Ballet for the lastproduction of quite a suc-cessful and productiveseason, which includedboth classical and modemworks: Giselle, The Nut-cracker, Coppelia, the"American Festival", andnow, Taming of theShrew. And next seasonpromises to be .evenwealthier, as it wi IIinclude Happily EverAfter, Tales of the Arabi-an Nights, A MidsummerNight's Dream, TheSleeping Beauty, and fol-lowing their tradition ofcreating entirely newrepertoire, Hot & Cool.

Although the story line of hake peare'soriginal comedy is quite intricate, the simplic-ity of the ballet and the natural flow of thedancing it elf is quite remarkable. What isreally amazing i that choreographer JonCranko remain almost completely faithful tothe literary ver ion of Taming of the Shrew,and unifies body motion and dancing to ub-stitute for the mi ing words. What has comeout is a "comedy in two acts", with the only

. real difference being that the actors aredancers. It seems thatCranko possesses an out-standing ability and incli-'nation to translate proseinto vivid movement. Heenjoys making the ballet"speak" to the audience,and considers introductoryprogram notes to beunnecessary guides to theplot. "It must be because 1have the theater in myblood," he once said. "Ialways want people to'enjoy themselves." Natu-rally, then, Taming of theShrew is not your classicalNutcracker or Swan Lake,which are based on fairytales and mesmerize theaudience not with theirstory lines but with splen-did dancing. Rather,Cranko's choreography isa delightful cOInpromisebetween acting and vividdancing - closer to pan-tomime than to either.

The music of Tamingof the Shrew is also atypi-cal of Tchaikovsky'sromantic tunes. The musicheard in the ballet isderived from the early18th-century composi-tions of Domenico Scar-latti. Apparently, hisBaroque Age melodieswere not rendered suitablefor the spirit of a balletthroughout the Romantic .Era, until 1917, when 23of Vincenzo Tommasini'sarrangements of Scarlat-ti's sonatas were used forthe Ballets Russes produc-tion of The Good-Humored Ladies. The useof this 18th-century musicproved quite daring andoriginal, particularly the

Taming of the Shrew is Boston Ballet'slatest masterpie<;e. It is created with allthe action, humor, and expressivenessof Shakespeare's original comic mas-

terpiece, combined with the elegance of clas-sical ballet. Reminiscent of this season's Cop-peJia in its plot and characters, this ballet alsosets out to tell a similar tale - a tale abouttrue love.

Bianca, the daughter of the well-to-doBaptista, has three suitors: Hortensius,Gremio, and Lucrentio, all of whom serenadeher in the beginning of Act One. Biancaexplains to the suitors that her father will notconsent to a marriage before Katherine, Bap-tista's free-thinking daughter, has found asuitable husband. Unfortunately, Katherinehas no suitors, since she is notorious for herquick temper and sharp tongue - both ofwhich stem from unceasing comparison to heryounger sister's beauty and sweet disposition.

The three suitors enlist the penniless Petru-chio, whom they meet in a tavern, to pursueKatherine's hand in marriage. Excited by theprospect of marrying a wealthy girl, Petruchio

~, follows them to Baptista's 'house. 'While theyounger sister comes to see that Lucrentio isthe most admirable of the three scheming suit-ors, Petruchio has begun to woo Katherine.

~ She first takes Petruchio's advances as mock-eryand thus takes offense; but once she seesthat he is persistent, Katherine believes hisintentions are true, and they decide to marry.

Nevertheless;the marriage turns out to bea nightmare for Katherine. In Act Two, we seethe newlywed couple after a tumultuous wed-ding ceremony: Katherine is furious at Petru-chio's behavior, and defies her husband atevery turn. In response, Petruchio proves to beeven more stubborn than Katherine herself; hesets out to "tame" her and refuses to let hereat. She in turn refuses to go to bed with him,

I • ~nd spends the nig\1t 911 the kJtchen floor. Bythe following day, Katherine pretends to givein to be able to eat, and in doing so, she dis-covers that her husband is actually kinder,more full of life and love than she thought.Contrasting with the apparent "match"between Lucrentio and Bianca, the pairing ofPetruchio and Katherine shows that things arenot always what they appear to be in mattersof heart .

• Cia s council is very importantbecause of the amount of interactionthat we have with our cla smates,"said Cia of 1996 Pre identMatthew J. Turner '96, who is infavor of a strong clas council pres-ence on the UAC. "We do eventswhere the entire class is invited."

Students voice opinions to theirclass officers, who are natural con-duits of student input to the UACouncil. To reduce the class councilrepresentation on the UAC by a fac-tor of four "is ridiculou ," Turnersaid. "'t almost turns the UA into anexclusive group."

A major rea on for reducing theclass council presence wa represen-tatives' poor attendance at recentUAC meetings. "This year has beenthe worst year for class council par-ticipatioJl in UA Council," Turnersaid. However, "that has somethingto do with the way the UA wentabout doing things this year," hesaid.

People were "discouraged aboutcoming" and "wasting their time sit-ting through a meeting that wasn'tdoing anything," Turner said. Sever-al years ago, UAC meetings wererun well, were short, and were"effective in geUing things done,"he said.

There are many things at MIT that we like to take for granted. The even'tual spring thaw andfirst warm day spent lounging on the Kresge Oval, an available Athena terminal on the nightbefore a term paper is due, the high green and gray walls of the Infinite Corridor, standingstrong and solid against the stresses of time. These things,give us solace. They give us Iwarmth and security amidst social turmoil and academic anxiety. At first somewhat strange ~and foreboding, they are the things that come to make MIT our home away from"home. Theybecome fixtures in our lives, both passive witnesses of and active participants in the progresswe make as we strive to become more complet~ and enlightened human beings.

Yet sometimes, we know, thes,efixtures must take leave .qf us. These things we like to take forgranted, for the sake of their own need to grow and change, they must part our company.And when they do, we owe it to say a proper good:bye ...

So we say to you Fr. Bernard J. Campbell; thank you,' simply, for being a fixture in our lives.For nine years you were not only our priest,.but you were our teacher, our advisor, ourfriend. You were a voice of sanity in the murmur of MIT madness. You were a beacon ofhope, pointing us towards a greater aspiration~ a greater cause, and a greater love to which wecould devote our personal and professional lives. You have fed us, healed us, and understoodus. You have felt our joy, and have shared our pain. You have forever affecteq our lives,adding new dimension and depth to our intellects, prodding us along through our sometimesfrightening journeys to achieve spiritual grace. Thank you, Father, thank you. For youryears of service, for your years of friendship. You will be missed.

The VA Council ExecutiveCommittee will meet over the sum-mer to iron out any wrinkles andeliminate any bugs and loopholes inthe document, Muh said.

One goal in the fall will be to"make the proposed constitutionmore publicly available," Balsleysaid. Balsley said he hopes peopleconcerned with the future of the VAwill speak with him and Muh.

"We hope this won't affect theVA in the future," Muh said. "I'mcommitted to passing something thatwill make the VA more effective."

The rejected motion to adopt thenew constitution at the same meet-ing it was introduced was itself inviolation of the current constitution.To circumvent that, VA Councilpassed a special amendment to thecurrent constitution allowing theVAC to vote on a new constitutionat that specific meeting.

er," Muh said. However, "the UAPis the person who gets all the flak,upport, and blame for the legisla-

Another departure from the sepa-ration of executive, legi lative, andjudicial powers is shown in pro-posed changes to the judicial reviewboard, the judicial organization ofthe VA concerned with interpretingthe governing documents andresolving disputes between bodiesof the UA.

Judboard decisions, currentlyonly able to be Qverturned by a con-stitutional amendment, would beable to be overturned. by a three-fourths vote of the UAC.

The size of the board would beexpanded from three to five mem-bers; in part, because of past prob-lems with members leaving, Muhsaid.

The Department of'Mechanical Engineering saw a jump 'in thenumber of students with credit DROPs from 33 to 55, according tothe department." Because of limited funding, th€; Department of Biology no longer

offers paid DROPs during the fall and spring semesters. However,"we've had greater participation this term than any other term,"Brown said. .

The decreased funding "hasn't affected us that much," Brownsaid. One reason is that biology students can apply focredit DROPsthat can be used toward their departmental laboratory requirement, hesaid.

Term biology UROPs'will continue to be offered on a credit-onlybasis. "I don't think there will be any changes," Brown said.

The baseball' team finished itshome season on a somber note Sat-urday afternoon by losing both dou-bleheader games to the Suffolk Uni-versity Rams, 6-2 and 4-2. Theselosses made the team 7-21 overalland 3-9 in the Eastern CollegiateAthletic Conference.

The first game started quicklyas both teams scored in the firstinning. The Engineers tied thescore in the bo.ttom half when rightfielder Baldemar Mejia '98 led offwith a single. After one out, headvanced to second on a grounderand scored on a triple by DH RobLepard '95.

Suffolk scored two more runs inthe second. After one out, MikeDeBenedictis singled. After that,Ramon Nunez singled and bothscored on Chris Anderson's triple.

Freshmen collideThe freshmen lost to a strong

Wisconsin crew, but easily beatDartmouth. The race started withthe excitement of a collision. Thewind, which had strengthenedthrough the day, had become a sig-nificant factor by 11 a.m. Justbefore the start a gust blew theboats pff course. Within fivestrokes MIT and Wisconsin collid-ed: The referee recalled the raceand ran it again.

In the second attempt, Wisconsinjumped out to an early lead. WhileM IT and Dartmouth both madecharges, Wisconsin easily held offto win tl& race. At 500 meters, MIThad a half-length lead over Dart-mouth; after 1000, MIT had brokenfree of Dartmouth and held theiropen water lead to the finish line.MIT's time was 6:37.6, 4.8 secondsover Dartmouth and 12.1 secondsbehind Wisconsin.

"I thought there were some goodparts ofthat race, but there are sti II alot of technical issues to be workedout," said freshman coach StuSchmill '86.

changed repeatedly, with the leadcrew never more than two seatsahead of the last.

From the 700-meter mark to themidpoint at the Harvard Bridge,Wisconsin began to pull away fromthe other two boats. At that point,MIT made a big push. It was notenough to catch Wisconsin, but wasenough to take a three-seat advan-tage over Dartmouth.

Over the remainder of the race,MIT stretched its lead to as manyas five seats. Dartmouth made adetermined charge with 200 metersleft, and pulled almost even. But inan exciting finale, MIT stoppedDartmouth's move and crossed theline at 6: 15.2, 1.9 seconds overDartmouth and 6.5 behind Wiscon-sin.

The victory has a significanteffect on the second boat's seedingat the Eastern Sprints. MIT wiJI beranked above Dartmouth and thecrews below it. With the second-place finish they become part of thenext highest tier of competitors, andwill have a much stronger chance ofadvancing to the finals.

The varsity heavyweight crewsuffered a disappointing loss toDartmouth and Wisconsin on Satur-day in the Cochrane Cup. MIT hasnot won the race for several years,and many had hoped that even ifthis was not the year, that at leastMIT would be in the thick of therace.

But they were not. The race wasrowed in a gusty cro swind thatstrengthened through the day. Whileall boats were roughly even comingoff the start, with MIT holding aslight edge, Dartmouth and Wiscon-sin very quickly pulled even andbegan to pull away from MIT.

M IT rowed farthest from theother two teams. Through the first500 meters of the race, Dartmouthand Wisconsin were neck and neckand right next to each other, whileMIT was falling behind, and in alane more than 35 feet away fromthe other crews.

The distance proved to be aproblem. "It's difficult to maintainintensity when you lose all contactwith the other crews," said eerajGupta G, last year's varsitycoxswain. "Dartmouth and Wiscon-sin were just feeding off eachother's energy, while our boat hadto motivate itself. Even so, theyshould have raced it a lot better."

M IT continued to fall awaythrough the rest of the race. Theymounted a charge over the last 500meters, but they had fallen so farback that they were never a threat.

Meanwhile Wisconsin took thelead and extended it from 500 to1500 meters. At one point, they hada lead of seven seats. The last 500,however, belonged to Dartmouthand its sprint: Dartmouth's eightrepeatedly took up the stroke ratingand roared through Wisconsin totake a six-seat lead over the finishline with a time of 6: 10.2.

Wisconsin finished with 6: 12.5;MIT with 6:22.1.

"I was quite disappointed," saidCoach Gordon Hamilton. "I thinkwe came to this race pretty flat, andit showed."

JV fares betterThe second boat's race was far

more exciting, and met with a sig-nificantly better result. While Wis-consin handily won the race, MITcame out ahead of Dartmouth.

Off the start, all boats were even.They scrapped their way throughthe first 700 meters without anyoneable to gain an advantage. The lead
