Continuous newsservice since 1881

By Bob DennisA large gathering of concerned citizens met in Ringe Technical High

School Sunday night-to hear a progress report on the fight for rentcontrol in Cambridge, and to arouse additional support for the

formation which will then be used informulating programs. The committeeswill be open to all, and will workwithout administration from above..

Albert also announced that twomeetings to consider the election plat-form proposals were planned for thisweek. On Thursday evening at 8 pm inthe Sala de Puerto Rico, there will be amass meeting basically intended forthose who support the proposals andwish to work on them. Anothermeeting is scheduledfor Wednesdaynight, at which student grievancesagainst the platform will be heard. Themeeting is tentatively scheduled for 8pim in the student government offices.

Another idea that will be consideredis the establishment of a "free store."Albert explained that this would be aplace for students to bring items thatthey no longer want. Such items wouldbe offered free to whoever wants them.

While the issue of whether Albertwas a registered student at the time ofthe election remains unestablished, Al-bert expressed confidence that he willremain UAP. Sunday afternoon, he in-dicated that he would make his finalregistration Monday morning.

There appeared to be some activitytowards unseating Albert as petitionsfor recall were being circulated in EastCampus. Albert pointed out that theeffort would probably have no effect,'because the recall provisions wereaimed at removing the UAP after hehad done something objectionablewhile in office.

program.Speeches were presented giving data

on the exorbitant rent increases in re-cent months, attacking City Councilfor hindering the drive for rent control,

.criticizing the moderate and ineffectivemethods of the Cambridge EconomicOpportunity Committee, and lambast-ing the expansionary policies of theuniversities. The presence of the newNASA -Research Center was given asadditional evidence that Cambridge israpidly becoming "the Pentagon ofNew England. "

Referendum driveThe drive for rent control was initia-

ted by the Cambridge Peace and Free-dom Party and is currently being runby a group of about 100 citizens. Thegroup reported that they have to dateachieved about 3000 of the 8000 signa-tures necessary to bring about a refer-endum on rent control. The referen-dum would force the City Council toconsider the group's rent control law.If the Council passed it, the law wouldgo into effect. If, as is expected,-theCouncil rejected it, the question wouldgo within a month to a special city-wide election. The group is confidentthat the city would vote for rent con-trol. .

Besides charging that "the CityCouncil has always kow-towed to theUniversities arid the real-estate interestsand has never enforced the housingcode," the group also asserted that theCouncil has actually attempted to pre-vent the group from collecting signa-tures in Central and Harvard Squares.

The proposed law of the CambridgeRent Control Referendum Campaignstipulates that a landlord could chargeno more than what the apartmentrented for on January 1, 1968, andthat he could not take away any ser-vices such as heating or maintenancewhich he was supplying at that time.The bill would not include singlefamily dwellings or small landlords wholive in a two or three family dwellingand rent out the remaining one or twoapartments. Also exempt are publichousing, hotels, motels, and roominghouses.

A critical feature of this bill statesthat if a landlord lets his housing deter-

iorate beyond normal wear and tear, orremoves vital services and equipment,the tenant can ask the rent board for areduction in his rent.

Other major points in the bill in-clude the establishment -of a rentboard consisting of both public andprivate citizens, clauses that limit thecircumstances under which a landlordcan evict a tenant, measures that wouldprevent landlords from tearing downtheir existing units in favor of high-riseluxury apartments, and fines for land-lords who violate the law.

UAP Mike Albert has stated that hesupports the rent control measures, andthat he hopes MIT will also lend itssupport for the program.

Nominations are now being ac-cepted for the Everett Moore BakerAward.

The Baker Award is given each yearby a student committee to a juniormember of the faculty who demon-strates outstanding teaching and con-cern for students. Each faculty memberwho is nominated by a letter from astudent who knows him is investigatedby members of the committee. Theaward itself is presented to one or moreuntenured faculty members at theAwards Convocation.

Due to the inherent difficulty ih-

assessing teaching ability, the BakerAward serves the vital function of in-forming senior faculty members con-cerning the teaching abilities of thejunior members of their department.According to most department chair-men, teaching is an important consider-ation when the time comes to deter-mine which junior members of thefaculty are to receive tenure.

Letters of nomination are now beingaccepted by the comrr: ; and shouldbe sent either to committee chairmanMickey Warren at AEPi or to The Tech

There was yet another rubbish firein the basement of the Student CenterSunday afternoon.

The fire was in one of the dump-sters which are kept in the corridor tothe freight elevator. There was a greatdeal of smoke but no apparent damage.According to various accounts, therehave been between two and six otherfires in the same place since the build-ing has been in operation.

A cook in the Dining Service kit-chen smelled the smoke, walked outinto the corridor, and saw flamescoming from the dumpster. Anotherworker began using a fire hose to putout the fire. The flow sensors on thehose system turned on fire bells in thebuilding and summoned the CambridgeFire Department.

Deputy Fire Chief Healey, who ans-wered the call, commented that thegarbage dumpsters are a fire hazard,and that something should be done tocorrect the situation. He speculatedthat a carelessly tossed cigarette butthad started the blaze.

Irvin Curtis, Assistant Manager ofthe Student Center, said that there wasnot an unusually large amount of rub-bish in the basement at the time of theblaze. He said that a disposal con-tractor hauls off the rubbish every dayexcept Sunday.

Donald Whiston, Associate Directorof Physical Plant Operations, said thata compactor will be installed in theStudent Center within two or threemonths. A compactor will reduce thevolume of the rubbish and thus reducethe fire hazard.

The sprinkler system in the base-ment was not set off this time.

Few would argue against such a system if,indeed, it would work according to theory.

However, before such a program can be insti-tuted, there are a number of questions which mustbe answered. Where, for instance, are all the con-cerned, informed advisors needed in such a systemto come from? Does the average incoming freshmanknow himself well enough to be able to set up ameaningful program? Can the average student dojust as well in his work without grades to propel himforward?

In considering such a change, we must alsoconsider the Institute: what long-term effects wouldsuch a major change have upon it? Assuming, forthe moment, that this is to remain an Institute ofTechnology- would . eliminating requirementschange that character?

While it would certainly be premature to elimin-ate requirements now, the proposal to do so is basedupon an idealistic educational philosophy which thefaculty should consider as it formulates educationalpolicy.

The proposal calling for abolition of all Instituterequirements, which will be voted upon at thefaculty meeting, offers an idealized vision of whatan education should be.

The situation which is envisioned by those whoprepared the proposal is something of an academicnever-never land. A student comes to the Instituteand is met by his advisor, who is intensely con-cerned about the student's future. The advisorendeavors to assist the student in setting up apersonalized educational program that fits his in-terests. If he chose to do so, a student could, ofcourse, take the sequence of courses now required. Ifnot, he would set up a program determined by hisown needs.

In either case, because he is taking a program ofhis own choice, the student will not need thecarrot-and-stick motivation of the grading system asan incentive for high performance. The granting ofdegrees in the various specialties would, of course,remain contingent upon the student's completing arequired number of courses in that area.

Advisory System

A ProfessorTo the Editor:Warnmest congratulations on your twoexcellent editorials on the AdvisorySystems and on Pass-Fail. Although itis still too early to predict what theeffects of Pass-Fail will be, it is becom-ing apparent that one of them will be ahealthy overhauling of the FreshmanAdvisory System. At present, only afraction of our Freshman Advisors do ajob that may be considered satisfactoryby present standards, let alone by thestandards that they will be required tomeet in the next years.Our most pressing problem now is howto improve the quality and simul-taneously increase the number of ourFreshman Advisors next Fall, and thisletter is a cry for help to the MITcommunity. Before I proceed to theformal requests to Department Headsfor delivery of their quota of advisors,as is "de rigeur," I would like to receivefrom as many students as are interestedand from any other members of theMIT community confidential sugges-'.tiJns of names of candidates for Fresh-man Advisors for the Fall of this year.Most students know some names ofteachers or members of the Adminis-tration who would make good Fresh-man Advisors. I am asking that they jotdown these names and send them tothe Office of the Freshman AdvisoryCouncil, Room 7-133.The following categories of people willqualify as Freshman Advisors nextyear:

others. Your goal appears to be tocreate the opposite for yourself andothers.I agree that many problems need solu-tions, but do you always see only thehole instead of the donut? Why do youonly condemn and seldom condone?Are you aware that you can catch moreflies with honey than with vinegar? Orthat an ounce of recognition can domore good than a pound of criticism?And how often do your specificationsfor a better mousetrap proceed oraccompany your trip to the garbagecan with the present mousetrap? ;Your generation often comments onthe apathy of ours- do you know thewhy for ours? I'm firmly convincedthat it's because news media so thor-oughly floods us with "What's Wrong"while seldom commending anyone oranything that you eventually kill all ofour incentives by drowning us in pes-simism.,

But your, editorial on "The Advis6rySystem" overcame my apathy. I haveto know if an MIT student really has tohave someone read the catalog to him?Or tell him in which "field of en-

deavor" his interests lie? Or tell himhow to "fulfill his potential?" Then inone breath you complain of the highcosts, but in the next, you propose toincrease the Advisor/student ratio (ap-patently Economics isn't a very effect-ive course)- have you considered usbread-winners?. Or considered that youwant time and wonders from Advisors,but what, other than a -kick in theteeth, do they receive from you? Orwhat the probability is that their pri-mary interest is you; thereby, knowing"best how much "effective" to use foryou?If my son is wrong in feeling that MITis one of the best schools and strivingto be better, has top quality instruct-ion, and is teaching him to think and-plan for himself- then I need to knowhow to "Advise" him-about cheaperschools that encourage you to do your

town thinking and set your own goals.A Disillusioned: Parent

A. G. Dill;(Ed. note: My goal in life is surprisinglysimilar to your own: to leave the worlda little better than I found it. MIT isone of the outstandintng schools in the

world; however, no one here wouldpresume to think it perfect. to a greaterand greater extent, the faculty andadmirltration did recognize the rightof students to participate in their owneducation, becoming more willing tolisten to student opinion and workwith students to make a better institu-tion. Please read the letter above jonProfessor Rota.

Regarding the pessimism of theyounger generation, please let me saythat it is fortunate both that the older

generation sees the donut and that theyounger see the hole. If after manyyears on earth, you saw no donut youwould feel that your life had accore-plished nothing. Likewise, if youth didnot see the hole no one would feeldriven to improve our system. Yourgeneration has weathered the Depres-sion and bequeathed us an economicsystem which is efficient if not com-pletely just. With it we can eradicatepoverty and discrimination and workfor peace.

I hope my remarks have in somesmall way closed a very evidentgenera-tion gap.)

1) Anyone with the rank greater thanor equal to Assistant Professor;2) Any full-time member of the Ad-ministration;3) Any Graduate Teaching Assistantwho has taught for at least one yearand has been an MIT undergraduate.All suggestions will be treated as con-fidential, and will have to be cleared.with Department Heads, etc. (that'll beour job).We look forward to the response tothis letter from the students as ameasure of their concern for an im-mediate up-grading of the FreshmanAdvisory System.

by Karen WattelAnother element of the MIT

campus has drawn up a list of proposalsand submitted them to the authorities.Takis Vassilakis, an artist-in-residenceat MIT's Center for Advanced VisualStudies, is spokesman for a small groupof artist and critics demanding changesin museum policy.

Among the 13 proposals theysubmitted to the Museum of ModernArt last week are: that the Museumopen an exhibition gallery for the workof black artists; that it pay a rental feeto artists whose works were beingexhibited; and that it hold a publichearing on the topic 'The Museum'sRelationship to Artists and Society."

Bates Lowry, director of themuseum, agreed to form a SpecialCommittee on Artist' Relations"toexplore problems concerning therelationships of artists and museums."According to an article ifi the New

York Times, the committee would holda series of public hearings and makeavailable the records of all proceedingsto anyone interested.

30 not representativeHowever, in an interview with The

Tech last Thursday Takis noted that

the presonal letter his group received"doesn't mention the public hearing."He added,'`They want to close the

committee and then to publicize theresults. But you can't close the hearingsto 30 artists only; there are thousands

of artists. The 30 can never berepresentative."

Very different points might comeup in the public hearing," Takiscontinued. "Art historians, anyone,should come in and speak on what hethinks will help better relations. Themuseum people should be glad that wehelp thim to be synchronized. But theyhear something; otherwise they wouldschedule public hearings right away.'

- Sit-in possibleUnless further action is taken on

the public hearing, Takis and his groupare"determined to force the situation'with a sit-in. They estimate that theywould have "at least 300 supporters'with them.

Takis has protested before, "but tht

timing this time was beautiful." Duringthe recent exhibition of '"TheMachine" at the fatseurn of ModernArt, Takis walked into the museum oneafternoon and removed his work beingshown in the museum's garden,protesting that it had been displayed

Museums discouraging"There are not enough artists eit-

her," Takis continued. " It is becausemuseums are now discouraging. Muse-ums have pay him; they think of theartist only as a victim who will neverraise his voice."

"What concerns me most," said

Takis, " is that the museums createsections for the'artist without his owngallery, who is not known. Exhibitscould be changed every week or 15days. If the museums have such smallbudgets, why do they spend so muchfor one artist?"

Lapsing into a personal tone, Takissaid somewhat bitterly,"I don't need

against his wishes. (The piece had beenpurchased from him in 1962 anddonated to the museum.) He and hisfriends waited with the sculpture untilthey were allowed to talk to Lowry,and it was agreed that the work was tobe placed in storage.

To stimulate dialogueThe action then was "a symbolic

act to stimulate more meaningfull dia-logue between museum directors, art-ists, and the public. Takis sees directorstoday as "having enormous power overartists" and wishes "to put an end tothis power, to paralize directors andawaken artists."

"Every' profession is protected to-day but the artist," said Takis. ''Timeshave been better for the artist, when heused to be hired by the government orcommunity. It was much more healthy

than exhibiting in a museum."But there is'a role that the museums

By Steve GrantAny good pressagent can brainwash

the gullible people who are buying rock'n' roll records these days. Rock, likebaseball and the movies, dependsheavily on a star system - cults ofgreatness. And nobody falls for it anymore with the movies.

Elsewhere: on this page, Bill Serovy'71 remarks that Janis Joplina, beingthoroughly human, cannot live up toany of her press notices, which mrakeher out as a deity.

How many people 'would likeCream's version of "Spoonful" in-

Zeppelin, Al Kooper, Big Brother, andmost of all the Beatles. These peopleare strictly lightweight, not to be takenas anything more -than froth. So youthink Ginger Baker is the best drummerin the world? The average good jazzdrummer can play rings around him.

Likewise, most rock musicians, ifnot every last one, would get laughedout of any good jazz jam session. TheJefferson Airplane, who certainly makeworthwhile music, are simply not thebe-all and end-all of music. It is hightime rock fans caught on to the plainimpotence of just about all rock.

Not that the "lewd jungle rhythms"haven't got their place. Probably, theyaren't lewd enough. But to comparethe Beatles' "Yesterday" to Stravin-sky's "Symphony of Psalms" is notmuch different from comparing Spi-der-Man to Ulysses. All four can beenjoyable, but some afford you a muchmore powerful high than do the others.

Which leads us back to the begin-ning again. A high that is mapped outfor its recipient is no kind of high atall. And presumably, that's what rock'n' roll should be - a healthy vehicletowards a high.

Records by Jack Bruce, the-Beatles,and Bob Dylan are now on tape andshould be released within the nextcouple of months. A Little about each:

Bruce's record has been ready forsome time now, but won't appear untilafter he has cut still another album.This one, "Jack Bruce and HisFriends," was taped before the breakupof Cream, and is a free-style instru-mental, with Bruce playing acousticbass. He doesn't feel that the albumwould be too well received now, so amore conventional record will be outfirst to pave the way.

The new Beatles album will be verysimple and feature the use of acousticinstrumnents. Previous work of this typeWas been of high quality', so the recordshould be interesting, at least.

Dylan went to Nashyille to cut hisnew record and spent quite a bit oftime jamming with Johnny Cash. Twosongs on the album feature Cash, witha possible joint album on tape from thesessions.

Jairrness issue

Janis Joplin may have been pro-'moted out of a future. After all thefantastic predictions and publicity, shewould have had to be a mere goddessto meet specs. But although she thinkseach performance is an improvement,she hasn't lived up to the rumors. Thisis due partly to difficulty with herbackup group, but mostly because no-body could be as good as Janis wassupposed to be. .

'CJ and the new Fish are trying hardto keep a good thing going. One reasonfor the reconstitution of the group wasthe arrest of lead guitarist Barry Meltonfor growing that kind of; grass in hisfront yard. Another rumor concern-ing Eric Clapton's new group is that thenew drummer to join Clapton andWinwood will be an old drummer:Ginger Baker.

Johnny Winter, the blues guitaristfrom Texas, has been signed to a fiveyear contract with Columbia. In theprocess, he turned down a $500,000offer from RCA Victor. Joe Namath,where are you?

RandomScore one more for the record

companies- this time it's London. Theredone cover for "Beggar's Banquet"claimed incorrectly that all the songswere Jagger/Richard compositions, al-though the original correctly creditedRet. Robert Wilkins with "ProdigalSon." Wilkins originally recorded thesong in 1964 on Piedmont.

The Electric Circus in New York isnow being renovated in order to bettercompete with the Fillmore East, whichis having problems of its own. Alongwith a completely new interior, therewill be a remote control light show

-over the center of the floor featuring66 slide projectors. If it's done well,tickets could probably be sold for thelights alone.

courts have agreed. This point was alsosupported by the examiner in his83-page decision and was a primaryobject of contention Last week.

American Airlines, who first intro!'duced youth fares, supplied The Techwith a statement noting that "In theyear ending June 30, 1968, more thanfive million youths saved some$112,000Q000 in transportation costsas a result of the fares," and "Youthfares presently account for almost sixper cent of ah domestic airline travel."Supporters in the industry also arguethat revenue from standby.ticket saleshIelps depress costs for all airline pas-sengers.

Educational advantages for youthhave been another point of supporters

By George NovosielskiChi Phi qualified for the dubious

honor of meeting NRSA for thechampionship of the IM hockey tourn-ament by edging SAE 4-3 in the loser'sbracket finals. The loss, following twoprevious upset victories over SeniorHouse -and Theta Chi, ended SAE'scinderella bid for the hockey title.

The game was a see-saw affair with-Chi Phi grabbing an early lead on a pairof markers by Jim Kirtley. SAEstormed back, however, to pull ahead3-2 on the strength of single tallies byGeorge Biehl'70, Bill Farrow, and DickSidell. A goal by John Yasaitis knottedthe score for the Chi Phis and the gameremained that way until Don Collinsslapped a shot off Yasaitis' leg into theSAE net with only three minutes leftto decide the contest.

Both teams were considerably tiredat the end of the game after playing 15minute periods, and this was reflectedin the noticeable slow-down in the paceof tie game in its later stages. The-championship match will also have 15minute periods and this should work tothe advantage of the stronger and moreexperienced NRSA squad. Chi Phi'sonly loss this season came earlier in thetournament, a 3-0 blanking by thesame NRSA team.

archrival Harvard.In other results, Wally Miller '71

came away with a final mark of 2-7. Hestarted out well by winning two of hisfirst five bouts. These triumphs enabledMIT to topple the University of Penn-sylvania, last year's sabre champions,2-1. ,

Having just returned from an ankleinjury which kept him out of action fortwo weeks, however, and being inseeded in the first and toughest pool,Miller was unable to sustain the mo-mentum. John Sachs '71, who substi-tuted for him, lost three bouts.

Peter Hwang '71 won three toughbouts against Army, Cornell, and Navy.The sabre section of the team placedtwelth, edging out Rutgers by twopoints.

In epee, Al Meclenberg '71 finished3-9, Guss Benedicty 1-5, and Pat Boyd0-5. MIT placed last in the epee divi-sion- three points behind Rutgers.

Last weekend, the fencing team par-ticipated in the tough Eastern Inter-collegiate Fencing Association cham-pionship in New York. Princeton car-ried off the three weapon crown forthe first time in the school's history.

This time around, the engineersfinished last of the thirteen teams re-presented. This was the first time thishas happened in the last several years.However, several individual per-formances gave grounds for satisfactionand high hopes for improving theteam's 5-7 dual meet record next year.

Bob Markey '69, whose erratic bril-liance and unorthodox style have servedhim well throughout the season, wonfour of his first six baut, but he wasunable to maintain the-pace. He endedin a tie for sixth place in the secondpool with a 5-7 record.

Vince Fazio '70 finished in ninthplace of the second pool of the epeedivision by turning in a record of fivevictories and seven defeats. The out-standing, and somewhat unexpected,performance of the day was turned inby Dave Rapoport '70. He copped fifthplace in the second pool of the sabresection with a 7-5 record.

Table TennisSixty-one teams are entered in IM

table tennis. Teams consist of threemen each, and they are playing Mon-day through Thursday nights. Allgames involving teams from the Aleague and from division B5 are to beplayed in Burton House; all remainingB league games will be played in BakerHouse- and all C league games are inthe Armory.

NRSA is definitely favored to cap-ture the crown, especially due to thefact that Chi Phi has to defeat NRSAtwice under the format of the doubleelimination set-up, while the favoriteshave to win only once.

Water PoloOnly two games have been played

this far into the season. TEP blastedTDC 11-2, and Theta Xi downed ABT8-5. In addition, the combined SAM--PLP team won by forfeit over EastCampus, and a PGD-DKE game wasrescheduled.

By Don ArkinThe indoor track team finished a

slightly disappointing season with a 4-3record. The team was supposed to havea chance to equal last year's excellent6-2 record, but lack of depth preventedthe thinclads from turning a number ofclose meets their way.

Actually, all the meets except theloss to a surprisingly well-preparedTufts squad were very close. Many.were still up in the air during the polevault and themile-relay.

The thinclads had four top starswho could be counted on to take firstin nearly every meet. They were BenWilson '70, 'Captain Bill McLeod '69,Larry Kelly '70, and Kirk Winges '71.Wilson is, of course, the best distancerunner in MIT history. Two of hisoutstanding achievements this yearwere taking second in the New Eng-lands, and setting a new record whilewinning the three-mile run at theNEAAU meet. His record time of14:20.2 cut more than 15 seconds offthe old record. Furthermore, by takingfirsts in both the one- and two-mileruns in nearly every dual meet thisseason, he managed to pile up the hightotal of 63 points for the team.

Know-ing that the Wildcats were weak in thetwo-mile, Coach Farnham switchedWilson to the 1000-yard run instead.With Wilson winning the 1000 and Pet-ro capturing the two-mile, Tech had aone point lead going into the finalevent, the mile relay.

By Ron HollanderMIT may have to wait awhile for a

swim. team comparable to this year's.The 1968-69 season was marked byoutstanding performances which re-sulted in broken records. It culminatedin what Coach Batterman called "thefinest performance MIT swimming hasever made" in the N.E.I.S.A.

Although the team's overall recordof 94 (eaualling last vear's mark) was

Springfield loss, Tech squashed Trinmity55-39 and did the same to Tufts 58-37to even the season record at 44.

Against relatively weak teams fromNYU and Fordham two more winsfollowed by scores of 6744 and 6341respectively. The engineers took eightfirsts in the latter meet.

Brown was an even easier opponentas the Rhode Islanders fell by a 61-25score. A 61-30 clobbering of Holy,

most repectaile, things didn't point tosuch a rosy log after the first fewmeets. The mermen kicked off theircampaign against RPI. Lee Dilly, gra-duating co-captain and the swimmingstory of the year, took two firsts in themeet mcluding a new RPI pool record

. in the 200 yard freestyle as the en-s gineers notched a 5945 victory.

A "swimming slump" followed thisinitial win. A powerful UConn teamdowned Tech despite the efforts ofsensational sophomore Al Grahm andLee Dilley again. Grahm established anew varsity record in the 200 indivi-dual medley while Dilley equalled hisown record time of 1:53.2 in the 200yard freestyle.

In the next meet the engineersdropped a heartbreaker to Wesleyan,4847. Williams handed -the engineerstheir third loss in a row in a 5144showing. The meet started' well forTech, however, with the 400 yard med-ley relay team of Grahm, Tom Nesbitt'69, Jim Bronfenbrenner, and Dilleysetting a new record in that event at3:51.8.

A Tech victory against Bowdoinstemmed the losing tide, but the joywas short-lived. Traditional power-house Springfield crushed Tech 67-37in the ensuing meet.

Down with a 24 record and noplace to go but up, the mermen put ona tremendous drive which broughtthem seven straight triumphs and car-tied them' to a respectable New'Eng-lanis showing. Bouncing back from the

had a very strong distance team.Larry Kelly '70 was second on the

team in scoring, with 50 points. Larryran the 440, the mile relay, sprints;and, occasionally, the 600. Larry also ipicked up a second at the New Eng- lands in the 50-yarddash.

Captain Bill McLeod teamed withKelly to give Tech a strong sprint teamto go with their distance contingent.McLeod also was a fine broad jumper,besides being a sprinter. Tech had athird good sprinter in Joel Hemmel-stein '70. These three men easily out-

~vscored opposing sprinters during theseason.

The field events tended to be Tech'smain weakness. However, besidesMcLeod in the broad jump, they hadanother consistent performer. KirkWinges '71 upped his best height in thehigh jump to 6'3 3/4" during the sea-son, and only missed winning his eventtwice. His dual meet record of fivefirsts and two seconds brought himfourth highest scoring honors on theteam with 31 points. Kirk was also thethird engineer to cop a second in theNew Englands.

The MIT judo club was invited tothe first annual Northeastern judotournament along with 120 other NewEngland area clubs and 44 teams. Thefield includes a mixture of collegiateand non-collegiate competitors. Thetourney will be held on Sunday, March30 at 12:30 pm at NU's Cabot Gym.

The United States Judo Federationand the Northeast division of theAmateur Athletic Union have bothsanctioned the event. This meet will bea prevule to the Nationals which willtake place in Newark on April 12.

The tournament is structured as asingle elimination affair. Each squadpresents a five man team which facesother five man teams. Every individualis seeded according to the team's stra-tegy (the best player isn't necessarilyseeded first), and he grapple with acorrespondingly seeded player of the

opposing squad.Each individual contest can be deci-

ded in a number of ways. If one Santhrows the other to the mat cleanly, hewins the niatch. If the throw is sloppy,then the thrower can claim the victoryif he can control his opponent for atotal of twenty-five seconds. However,if the fallen judo afficiando escapes andsubsequently throws the oriinalattacker cleanly to the mat, the deci-sion is reversed.

A judge determines whether a throwis clean or sloppy. After a clean throwhe calls out "ippon" while after asloppy one he yells 'hwaza-ari". In theevent neither contestant has hit themat under the three minute time lint,the judge awards the match to theplayer who in the jodge's opinion hasmost dominated the play.
