The charges brought to theCOD by the Dean for StudentAffairs Carola Eisenberg are"invasion of privacy causingpersonal embarassment andharming the reputations" ofthose on the list and "offendinga significant portion of the MITcommunity," according to oneof the four students.

The students, who asked notto be identified, will probablyface hearings on Friday, al-though the date is not final.

The COD has several alterna-tives open to it: no action; rep-rimand; an informal probationwith no permanent notation onthe student's record; a formal

News Analvss

By David B. KoretzAll sides are preparing for

what may well be the final bat-tle of the Writing Programcontroversy.

At tomorrow's faculty meet-ing, the most significiant itemon the agenda is a motion by.Assistant Professor of rlumani-tis 'Murray Biggs thift-4"~'uldcreate a faculty task force tolook into the events and deci-sions that have surrounded theProgram in the last two years.- The motion, seconded by Pro-

flesor of Management RichardD. Robinson, reads, "Be itresolved that: a committee ofthe Institute faculty be ap-pointed to examine the presentstatus and proposed future ofthe Writing Program, and toreport its findings and recom-mendations to the faculty."

Should the motion fail, theWriting Program as it is nowconceived and organized willcome to an end within the nextfew years, to be replaced by anew program of Dean HaroldHanham's design.

The "Report on Writing In-struction at MIT," co-authoredby Hanharn and Associate DeanDionald Blackmer for Tech Talk,will be accepted as the officialversion of the sequence of eventsleading to the present situation.

Already Provost WalterRosenblith has recommendedthe Report to students and fac-ulty requesting information onthe Writing Program from him.A letter to one student contend-ed that the Report "provides aperspective upon the context inwhich the 'Writing Program'has developed."

However as has been pointedout in The Tech (April 29) andin a 13-page "'analysis" writingby Writing Program lecturersSanford Kaye and JosephBrown, the Report is a mislead-ing reiteration of the Admini-stration's offficial arguments.The two lecturers have beenrefused space for rebuttal inTech Talk by Vice PresidentConstantine Simonides, who as-serted that the newspaper is a",vehicle of official communica-

tions."Supported by Blggs and

Robinson, Kaye and Brownhave turned to the faculty. InApril, nine members of the fac-ulty supported by five otherssent a letter to Professor JohnRoss, Chairman of the Faculty,requesting a faculty investiga-tion. Ross's only action was torequest that Hanham write theReport.

Apparently these members ofthe faculty have chosen tocommission the investigationthemselves, seeking help fromtheir fellow faculty.

It is unclear whether Kayeand Brown. even with this aid,can see the motion passed. Theadministration is standing patwith Hanham's Report, hopingto get by tomorrow's meetingwith their plans intact.

Ross has informed Kave andBrown that they will be Able tospeak at the meeting (as non-professional teaching staff, lec-turers do not necessariis havethe right to speak). However.

Larger freshman class now seenClass of '81mayhit1100

By Steve KirschBy last Friday, 1,102 prospec-

tive freshmen indicated that theyplan to attend the Institute nextfall. This is 102 more than thetarget set by the Academic Coun-cil in December.

Furthermore, 143 students whowere offered admission have notyet replied. But the situation is notas bleak as it might appear. As-sociate Director of AdmissionsJulia C. McLellan said shethought that fewer than a dozenof the_143 would accept admis-sion. "They just didn't bother torespond," She explained.

This does not necessarily meanthat 'over 1,100 freshmen willregister next fall. During the sum-mer, an estimated 30 to 70persons who have indicated thatthey will enroll are expected tochange their minds. This "sum-mer melt" is due to acceptancesfrom other schools' waiting lists,decisions to take a year off andfamily considerations. No predic-tions have been made as to thesize of the melt this year. "It's irn-possible to estimate," McLellanstated.

McLellan said that she couldnot recall a time when the dif-ference between the target and thenumber of students who acceptthe offer of admission had been aslarge. 'Certainly not within thelast nine years," she said.

An unexpected jump in the"yield" - the percentage of ad-mitted students who accept theoffer - is the cause of theproblem. For the nast severalyears, the yield had remained fair-ly constant around 54 to 57 per-cent. Then last year an experi-ment was tried in which MITswitched from its traditional offerdate of March 24 to "mailingdate" of April 17. The yield drop-ped to around 45 percent. The ex-periment was not continued; theyield this year is back at 57 per-cent. "It's a decided difference,"McLellan said.

Browning initially expected1,000 freshmen, yielding 129extra people in the system.However, based on recent datafrom the Office of Admissions.he now expects somewherebetween 40 and 60 additionalfreshmen to arrive in the fall. allof whom must be housed in thedormitories.

In order to accomodate theadditional freshmen, Browningmust arrange for 40 spaces more

By Gordon HaffThis is the end of the second instal-Ilment in The Tech's look at theperiod of student unrest during thelate 1960's and earlh 1970's. Thefirst installment covered the periodthrough the draft Sanctuatry in.'Vovemlbver 1968 and rthe .AgendaDays followting Spring. Last issue*we saw tension in the fall of 1969escalaring. as SDS and sirnilarradical groups protested wvarrelated reserch in .MfIT'sInsirumntzeation Laboratories(1-Labs .

Through the rest of October,tensions between the studentradical groups, the I-Labs and theCorporation rose continually.Miller replaced Draper as the

head of the l-Labs even thoughDraper claimed the former"doesn't know anything aboutguidance or navigation." In inter-views with The New York Tintesand The Boston Globe, Draperdeclared, "I didnet resign - I gotfired" despite Johnson's claimthat "Dr. Draper was not fired."To many, this indicated a pos-sibility of future changes in theorientation of the l-Labs.

On Oct. 29, the situation ex-ploded. A confidential memofrom Miller to Johnson fell intothe hands of the November Ac-tion Coalition (NAC). In thismemo, Miller appeared to havemisgivings about converting the I-,Labs from military to civilian use.

He denied this, saying, "Mymemo to President Johnson dis-cussed one of a number of com-plex, short-term problems. Theinterpretation given by the coali-tion is totally wrong.';

Most of the discussion on thenature of the upcomingNovember Actions emphasizednon-violence. The Weathermen, aself-styled Communist faction ofthe SDS who advocated such ac-tions as beating Pool and Pye-members of the Center for Inter-national Studies (CIS) - as ex-amples to other "supporters ofimperialism," were just about theonly exceptions to the generalfeeling of "we won't be the onesto start any violence."

The next day at the I-Labpicketing. well-armed policerouted the protestors. Despite theattempts of Professors JeromeLettvin and Stephen Chorover toget the numerous busloads ofpolice to give the situation time tocool down, the police moved onthe protestors with clubs andhelmets. On the whole. however,there was little violence. althoughthere were eight injuries.

In the meantime, Johnson was

doing what he felt was necessaryto maintain relative peace. Heordered a court injunction againstviolent protests in the hope that itwould discourage people fromprotesting. He closed the CIS onthe first day of the November Ac-tions. This closing apparentlygave both the students and thefaculty a sense of partial victory.The students saw that they hadstopped the usual business of theInstitute, while the administrationsaw that they had preventedviolence.

On Nov. 15, almost half a mil-lion people gathered inWashington. DC to protest thewar. Again. as at the MIT Ac-tions, the vast majority of thecrowd was in favor of purelypeaceful protest. Those who ad-vocaed violence were the excep-tion rather than the rule. Despitethe Weathermen and othersimilar groups stirring thecauldron of revolution, there wasno general call to violent action.

However, before long therewould be repeated attempts tostop the extreme left from in-fecting others. In retrospect.perhaps many of these actions to

students were admitted.The Admissions Office received

4,433 applications and over 3,700requests for financial aid. Offersof admission were made to 1.933students, including 208 minority,students and 323 womrnen. By lastThursday. 125 minority studentsand 182 komen indicated thatthev kould be here in the fall.

Ho-wever, the Admissions Of-fice only expected the yield to in-crease to 52 percent. Hence, thediscrepancy.

McLellan has avidly supportedthe standard March mailing date.She said that it gives the studentsplenty of time to visit MIT. andgives MIT plentv of time to visituwith the students through SpringVacation visits and literaturemailings. "The more time thenhave for their decisions, the betterchoices the; can make. Very oftenit's not in our favor. but c'est lavie.

However, he emphasized thathe does not intend to makeliving conditions impossible forvictims of overcrowding. "We donot plan to suspend hammocksin Burton triples making themquads," he assured The Tech.

Burton House. in fact, willnot be asked to contribute morethan the 40 extra spaces it hasalready agreed to. Any furtherovercrowding in Burton would

pave a "significant effect onupperclassmen." Browningpredicted.

Similarly, Baker. Bexley, andMacGregor Houses will not beasked to provide additionalspaces. Nor will McCormick. "'don't want to do much there."Browning explained, "becauseco-ed houses could use addi-tional women."

Instead, Browning will look atEast Campus and the New WestCampus Houses to "see if wecan do something there." He isalso planning to be more strin-gent about letting "special case"students into the dormitorysystem. These are upperclassstudents who apply for dormi-

tory rooms. because of medicalreasons, foreign background, orage.

The level of overcrowdingexpected this year is slightlymore than the 152 extra occu-pants expected last year.However, because only 1,044 outof an expected 1,100 freshmenactually registered last fall,there were only 96 extra peoplein the system.

The effects of overcrowdingnext fall will be felt mostseverely during the first fewweeks of the term: the numberof extra people in the system"always goes down through theterm." He noted that "it dropsslowly during the first term andthen drops markedly during thesecond term."

Admissions favor US citizensBy William Cimino

Although MIT favors US citi-zens in matters of admissions andfinancial aid, it does not discrimi-nate against US citizens on thebasis of national origin.

The Institute's statement ofposition on discrimination wasamended in 1976 to reflect thispolicy. The Internal RevenueService (IRS) requires educa-tional institutions to publish sucha statement in return for tax-freestatus as well as for federal fund-ing and other benefits.

cause. Chairman of the Depart-ment of Humanities BruceMazlish flatly refused to makeany comment on Bigg's motion.

Sources within the WritingProgram have speculated thatthe administration may be trv-ing to avoid the Writing Pro-gram inquiry because of recentleaks about the so-called NewCdllege or "college within a col-lege" plan.

Several months ago Mazlishcirculated a copy of an articlewhich appeared in Changemagazine. The article revealedthat MIT is "in the midst ofextensive planning for . . anenterprise designed essentiallyto bridge the natural sciencesand the humanities."

The program has failed to getthe necessary funding, so theadministration has not publi-cized it. However. Kaye andBrown may find that at tomor-row's meeting mere mention ofthe New College could be a veryeffective weapon.

was appended in order to clarifythe term 'national origin.'

National origin, in the contextof the statement, refers to USresidents of foreign descent. Theadded statement simply reflectsMIT's policy on foreign studentadmissions. a polic,. which hasbeen in effect for man-s sears.XWvnne said.

Julia .McLellan. assistant deanof admissions, told The Tech thatthe amended statement and theapparent change in foreignstudent admissions policy "hasnot affected the number of for-eign students offered admissionto the Institute."

Her view was confirmed bsEugene Chamberlain. foreignstudent admissions officer. wv honoted that approximately 6.5percent of the incoming classesare foreign students and that thisfigure has not changed appre-ciabl% since the addition of thestatement.

M1cLellan said that "'the addedstatement simplb means that theInstitute is limited in the numberof offers of admission to foreign

students - howuever. a uuota isnot strictl, adherred to."

"Since foreign student admis-sions are limited. M IT mustdac:ept only the top quailfiedstudents from a ditersltr ofareas." McLeIlan confirmed"This Ltear wke expect that ap-protimatcl ox forcign ';udcn<s.represcnt ing afmot the samenumber of countries (as llast

Writing controversyraises other Issues

By William LsserThere is far more to the Writing Program controversy than the

faculty will discuss at its meeting tomorrow. Resolution of thisimportant and emotional issue will perhaps postpone but will notdiffuse several other more basic and important conflicts within theMIT community.

Underlying the Writing story is the question of how all humanitiesshould be taught here. There are on the surface two approaches -humanities can be taught to everyone, as a sort of supportdepartment for the schools of science and engineering, or MIT couldmake a special effort to recruit top-level students in the humanitiesin an attempt to compete with Harvard and Yale for a proportion ofthe world's elite scholars in non-scientific fields.

Dean Hanharm's proposal for the future of Writing involvesscience writing and technical writing, which are designed to trainspecific types of writers, as well as creative and expository writing,which will help to improve the writing abilities of MITrs engineersand scientists.

Additionally, there have been indications that the administrationis considering the establishment of theso-called "New College,'" which is infact intended to serve as a drawing cardfor outstanding humanities students. Inshort, then, the combination of pro-posals appears to indicate that MIT

_ p _lb _ will attempt to obtain the best of bothworlds, a comprehensive humanitiesprogram for scientists and a program

_ |~ ~ for elites which is competitive with thebest schools in the world.

Whatever is done, it is imperative that the reputation of MIT asperhaps the best technical college in existence not be placed injeopard3. At the same time, however, scientists and engineers arefinding it more and more important to be able to deal withhumanistic and social issues as a part of their changing role insocietN.

We are living in an increasingly technocratic world, one in whichdecisions of high policy require knowledge of both technology andhumanity. If MIT does not deepen its commitment to humanitieseducation for undergraduates in technical fields, future alumni willfind themselves ill-equipped to deal with the very real problemsthey %Aill be confronted with. MIT will be reduced to producingtechnical experts who lack the necessary world view to effectivelycontribute to the needs of society.

While the goal of improving the humanistic awareness of MITgraduates is entirely commendable and imperative, a decision tocreate a humanities substructure within MIT to educate a' smallnumber of humanists would be ill-conceived and nonproductive.Students in such a program would differ in very fundamental waysfrom the vast majority of the student body. They would have to beaccepted under a set of different criteria, from a separate pool ofapplicants. They would not fit in with the rest of the student body.

The creation of what would be two colleges under one roof seemsan unnecessary reaction to an inexplicable but persistent feeling ofinferiority on the part of the MIT community when it comparesitself with its Ivy League competitors. MIT does not compete withHarvard and Yale because Mi'T does not adhere to the sameeducational philosophy as Harvard and Yale. We are playingdifferent games under different sets of rules.

No Ivy League school can even compare to MIT in the quality ofengineering instruction. We are undoubtedly in the same class asthese other schools in fields such as the natural and social sciences.Only in areas such as history. English and philosophy do wecompare disfavorably.

Rather than diluting MIT's educational commitment with thehalf-hearted establishment of a special school for humanities elites,the Institute should concentrate on interweaving humanities intothe technical curriculum so as to continue to produce graduates whoare capable of handling the challenges they must face. MIT cannotbe all things to all men.

freedom, money and respect forourselves.

If I had been at college twentyyears ago chances are that Iwould have sat in the kitchen onmy dorm floor and discussed menand their sex drives. But instead,now I find myself discussing withmy friends - who are very in-teresting women - books,movies, politics, travel, thesesand gossip. We know about sexand we discuss our male friends- individually, though, and not

men have always had.The nicest thing about being

single is that you don't have toever ask anyone for permission.You don't have to ask for permis-sion to quit your job, move, go toa party given by someone hehates, bring home a pet, see yourwomen friends or work late at theoffice. When you're single youcan go out and do things withouthaving the neighbors thinkingthat you had a big fight. Singlepeople tend to respect indivi-duality and privacy more thanmarried people do, and singlepeople are more themselves be-cause not faking is part of beingsingle.

After someone asks a singlefemale "Why aren't you mar-ried?" people ask "Why are youafraid of marriage?" Double-standard time again. Old moviesshow people like Clark Gable andHumphrey Bogart afraid of nmar-riage because it would curtailtheir freedom, but look at thewomen who were portrayed asafraid of marriage (there aren'ttoo many so don't worry if youcan't think 'of any) - they arestone-hearted and you're sup-posed to know that they reallywould like to but are afraid ofsomething deep down (sex.perhaps?).

What about giving up yourindependence? Men are con-sidered very reasonable if theysay that but a women is con-sidered neurotic or selfish. Butuntil recently women were theones who gave up much more oftheir freedom than men ever did.

Everyone needs someone tolove and is much happier withlove in their lives than without it.But being single does not meanthat you don't have love in yourlife. Most single women are busyand fulfilled; they are responsible;and they have emotional commit-ment, but they have their options.too. They are whole adults, noeternal adolescents.

People who ask these singlewomen "Why aren't you mar-ried?"' don't understand this.They think that these womenhave tried looking for love butfailed, They don't know how easyit is to get married, and how hardit is to stay single. Therz arepressures all over - advertising,tax deductions, parents, friendsand not the least to say, them-seives. People think being singleis a permanent thing, but mostoften it's temporary. That leavesthe choices-open. And havingchoices is what being happy andsingle is all about.

By Lynn T. YamadaUp until the late 1960's, young

women went to college to findhusbands. These women's fianceswere older and about to graduate.As soon as the fiancds grad-uated, these "girls," as they werecalled then, quit school since onecollege graduate in the family wasenough - if it was the male.These "girls'' soon becamemothers, stayed home, took careof the children and were sup-posed to stay happy for the rest oftheir lives.

Todavy it's a lit- . - .: .tte different. Being i-single is exciting -'and enjoyable, but a double standard still exists.Haven't you ever heard yourmother say to your older sister,"Why aren't you married yet?"while another day your mother isdefending your older brother say-ing. "He's only 30; he's stillyoung. In other words, men areassumed to have other prioritieswhile unmarried women areeither disappointing to males,disappointed in love, or neurotic.

The fact of the matter is thatwomen have priorities in theirlives that often do not includemarriage. Their interests consistof pursuing their careers andeducation, and being free andfinding themselves. We are nowerabbing at the chance to get

as a separate species.Women no longer look for the

perfect male to gave them from alife of pinching pennies whiletrying to -stave off loneliness -women realize that husbands, ifthey come along, are not there torescue them, but to add to theirlives. Besides, with equal employ-ment opportunities in jobs,women can earn as much moneyas any male and don't need any-one to keep them from starving todeath.

Women no longer throw downeverything when Prince Charm-ing comes along but weigh whatthey will gain against what theywill lo-e. In short they realizethat they have all the things that

said that only five were chargedbecause they were the only onesrecognized. Wadleigh admittedduring testimony that he knewof others.

Other points relevant to theintegrity of that judicial processinclude:

I) The five students whosecase was heard on Dec. 17, theWednesday before vacation,

were notified at an average of2pmr Dec. 16 that they had until5pmr that day to turn in a list ofwitnesses to testify on their be-half. They had been chargedwith misconduct at an Octoberdemonstration. The final hear-ing occurred on Dec. 23.

2) The Dean for Student Aff-airs was both prosecutor and amember of the jury.

3) There had been fists swungat an earlier demonstration at acorporation meeting, but noneat the demonstration inquestion.

4) The greatest injury experi-enced on campus as a result ofpolitical confrontation in thoseyears occurred when LarryLudewig '71 was pushed or fellwthile amidst "a crowd of angryfaculty members." Larry andfriends had been leafletting thefaculty during a faculty meet-ing. He had to wear a neckbracefor a week. President Johnsonappointed a special committeeunder Prof. Hulsizer to investi-gate. Witnesses were convincedthat one of two faculty wasresponsible but no indictmentswere made by the disciplinecommittee. (see The Tech,March 24, 1970 and April 14,19?0.)

Cable TV uFro the EditorI would like to respond tolVilliam C. Johnson's article

'Cable needs strong leadership"n your Perspectives column of

4ay 13. After talking with himmd other members of MITV, I

eel some-points made concerninghe MNITV equipment regulations

md Video Club were unclear andilmost misleading.in the article 1 was credited

a'ith the statement, '"the VideoElub has been accounting for 80:o 90 percent of the use of the

M ITV equipment." This was ineference to activities before the

implementation of the new regu-lations. After they were in effect

there was an increase of MITVmembership usage to about 50percent.

It is valid for Video -Club tohave input on M1TV regulationsby virtue of their status as asignificant user/productiongroup. Such input and feedbackwas sought and received from

Video Club members and manyof their suggestions were incor-porated into the rules.The article states that '"pro-

posals" were made to divide up

of ROTCIt's nice to think that if onlyenough people would suddenlystart trusting each other wecould all live in peace. It isunfortunate that reality mustintervene in the accomplish-ment of this dream; but it wouldseem, for the time being at least,that those nasty ships and miss-iles and bombers will be neededto insure that those who wish to'denounce their existence as anatrocity can continue undisturbedin their naivete.

Besides its function in provid-ing a defense for the country,the military also provides manyservices - search and rescueoperations, natural disaster re-lief, and educational programsto name just a few. Spin-offsfrom military technology alsoprovide services to mankind.The same rockets which weredesigned for "military" pur-poses were also used to carryman into space and much of thet-hnology which was used indesigning surveillance satellitesalso. went into communicationsand earth-resources satellites.

If one looks closely, one willfind that many of those involvedin the military are there formuch the Same reason thatthose who condemn them refuseto have any association withthem. Both have peace as theirobjective - they differ only intheir beliefs as to how this peacecan best be attained. I thinkthere is an obvious differencebetween tolerance for an organi-zation whose members are try-ing, in the way they believe to bemost effective, to profide ahuman objective - the preserv-ation of peace and those whochose to disregard certain hu-man rights (e.g. privacy) in thecourse of their journalisticendeavours.

the equipment and share respon-sibility for maintenance. The

offers Video Club made werecontingent on MITV grantinghalf ownership of their equipmentto Video Club. To my krnowledge

there is no precedent for an ASAactivity to give ownership of itsproperty, to a non-ASA club.Moreover, MI ITV feels that itsregulations are both responsiveand fair to all users includingVideo Club, and that it is actingto facilitate use of the equipmentby all.

Finally, the article states, "Onerule allows MITV News to bumpa Video Club reservation withoutnotice and any MITV-approvedproject may bump Video Clubwith 24 hours warning." M ITVwas started as a news gatheringorganization for the campus andit was felt that news that theNews Producer decided should becovered should have precedencein equipment use.

Women deplore obscenityTo the Editor:

The Women's Advisor) Groupof MIT, representing them-selves. and the voices of manyhundreds of women and menwho have talked with them,would like to set forth theirformal objections to the aggres-sive obscenity that has ap-peared at MIT in recent days.

We have long deplored andbeen disgusted by pornographicmovies on campus. porno-graphic posters, and sexism inour newspapers and magazines.We have protested such eventsto the LSC, to the Dean forStudent Affairs, and to the Pres-ident's Office. We as a grouphave been deeply dismayed thatthursday (May 5) could suggestthat we have not been protest-

ing obscene and sexist events inour community. Many other in-dividuals, who have also pro-tested, feel thursday has grosslymisrepresented them in theirMay 5 statement. Moreoverthursday editors should learn, ifthey do not know it. that manyoutraged individuals shrankfrom complaining directly tothursday, because they fearedfurther personal attack andirresponsible ridicule.

In particular we register ourdeep offense at the obsceneattack on individuals containedin the thursday of April 28, and

in other events last week. W3e donot believe that MIT shouldpermit its name to be attachedto a newspaper which is soprofoundly hurtful and irre-sponsible, until it establishesthat it has a responsible edi-torial board and that it actuallypractices a responsible editorialpolicy. We further believe thatanyone at MIT who launches asimilarly offensive. personalattack should be called toaccount by the appropriatedisciplinary body.

artgCat Stevens diversifies his style with IzitsoI:itso - Cat Stevens on A&MN Records.

By Rebecca WaringLirtso is Cat Stevens' best album since

Teaser and the Fire cat. His last album,.Vuthers. a very self-indulgent composi-tion which had all its songs centered on acommon theme, didn't seem to havebeen meant as a commercial success.Tlhe release of Izirso re-establishesStevens as an incredibly talented compo-ser. He has incorporated some of the bestelements of rock and reggae into hisfamiliar style. and the results are tre-mendous.

Izitso is a very happy album. All thesongs move well, and one wants to get upand dance or at least sing along to suchlyrics as:

I never Kanted to be a starnevrer wanted to travel fbrI onlv wanted a little bit of loveSo I could put a little love inheart.

nil'

Stevens reminisces about his youth inthis song. "I Never Wanted to be a Star,"and tloo others: "Child for a Dav" and"Old Schoolyard." These cuts give thealbum much of its zest and character.which have also been carried into thecover picture of Stevens playing with ayovo and the children's drawings whichdecorate the lyrics inside.

Cat Stevens makes use of many moreinstruments in this record than he hasever used before. A horn synthesizer solo' hich opens "Old Schoolvyard" is anexample of this. His strong points, how-ever. have always been guitar and piano.and they are not neglected here.

Another surprise for old Stevens fans isthe use of disco and reggae beats in some

-of the new songs. "Killin' Time" has atypical disco tune. Only in the lyrics canelements of his usually recognizable stylebe found. "Was Dog a Doughnut" is arock instrumental with traces of reggae.Stevens handles these stylesexpertly. and they seem to be enhancedby his always imaginative lyrics andexpressive voice.

The other instrumental on this album,"K pros," is quite melodic and slow-moving, and a reminder of Cat Stevens'Greek heritage. It is strategically placedright after the heavy beat of "Killin'Time." The mix of songs is very goodthroughout the record. and both sides areof equal caliber, characteristic of mostStevens albums.

The other songs on the disc. "Life.""Bonfire." "Crazy," and "Sweet Jam-aica," are typically Cat Stevens. Theyare reminiscent of the cuts from Tea forthe Tillerman, his best album.

Izitso will not disappoint any fan ofCat Stevens, and indeed should win himmany more loyal followers. He has addedseveral new -dimensions to his work -

new instruments, beats, and moods -without losing any of the old ones. Hisnormally great lyrics and melodies arepresent here, as are his intricateaccompaniments and beautiful voice.

Live Beatles album displays brilliance -The Beatles at the HollywoodBowl on Capitol Records.

By Drew BlakemanThe Beatles have, in a sense, re-

united. Some old Beatles tapes werelyving around the basement of CapitolRecords, someone saw how valuable theymight be, and the result is The Beatles atthe Hollyvwood Bowl.

Recorded live at concerts at the Holly-wood Bowl in August 1964 and 1965,' thisrecord contains no material newer thanthat on the album Help! Unfortunately,recording techniques were primitive atthe time so that this album has extreme-ly poor quality sound. What is there ishistory.

These are the only live recordings ofthe Beatles in existence, excluding boot-legs which sound even worse, and theyshow quite explicity the power the grouphad over its audiences. There is a steadydrone of pre-pubescent females scream-ing their lungs out during the entirelength of the album.

It is put together well. mixing songsfrom each year's concert very smoothly.The record is much too short, however, amere 28 V, minutes spread over thirteencuts. The shortest, "Twist and Shout"lasts only one minute twenty seconds,and "Dizzy Miss Lizzie" is the longest atthree minutes flat. It would- have beennice if a few more songs had been addedor if they had been longer, but then theaverage Beatles concert in those days

was only about an hour long.Even though it is too short, it still is

great. These are the Beatles back in thedays when they made all the little girlsscream. The last time they appeared inconcert together was in 1966 - a long

Fans go literally frantic at a Beatles con-cert in the Hollywood Bowl more thantwelve years ago.

time in the recording industry. Thisalbum recalls the way they were overtwelve years ago.

There is so much innocent exuberancein these live recordings, on the part ofboth the Beatles and of their audiences.At one point, Paul says sarcastically"We'd like to thank all you people forcoming," although it is unlikely thatanyone there heard him. He starts tolaugh irreverently in the middle of"Help!" but manages to keep control.

All thirteen songs on this all-too-shortalbum -should be familiar to everybody.Five of them weren't written by theBeatles themselves, but they are amongthe most memorable, There will un-doubtedly be a number of top-ten singlesreleased from this record, which is al-ready getting heavy national airplay.

Every cut on this album adds some-thing to the legend the Beatles alreadyare. It's hard to believe that one groupcould have so much impact on music,but this record shows part of the reasonwhy. It is unlikely that any single groupwill change the face of popular music sothoroughly again.

Those who don't remember the Beatleswhen they first burst on the scene woulddo well to listen to this albumrn. Thematerial may be old, and the recordingqualit)y may be poor, but they are theBeatles and they are live. The Beatles atthe Hollywood Bowl is. for all its brevity.a powerful collection of performances.

Foster, Sheen disappoint in Little Girl'*4]44The Little Girl Who Lives

Dow n The Lane: an American InternationalPictures release; directed bvy Nicholas Ges-snoer. screenplay by Laird Koenig; starringJodie Foster, Martin Sheen, Alexis Smith,M ort Shuman, and Scott Jacobi; playing atSack Savoy 1, Chestnut Hill Cinema,Framingham Cinema. Peabody Cinema,Burlington Cinema, and Showcase Dedham:rated PG.

By Drew BlakemanThere is only one thing wrong with The

Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane -

that the movie was ever made in the firstplace. It is so thoroughly bad that it wouldhave been difficult to'make it worse.

The names in the cast showed quite a bitof promise. Jodie Foster and Martin Sheenare both usually excellent, but in this filmthey overact horribly in their stereotypedroles. The other actors are no better.

Foster plays the little girl, a secretiveyoung miss who lives alone with her father- or does she? Sheen is Mr. Pallit, a really

nasty guy whose intentions are totally dis-honorable. He visits her often, alwaysleching-after her poor innocent body.

Alexis Smith portrays Mrs. Pallit.Sheen's character's mother, who is also anot-so-nice person. At one point in themovie, after demanding to go down intothe cellar to get some jelly glasses, she falls- or (gasp!) is pulled - to her death. I willnot compromise the element of suspense(what there is of it, anyway) by revealingThe Secret Of The Cellar, but I will'say thatit is not worth waiting around to find out.

Mort Shuman is the local cop on thebeat who really cares for poor waif Foster'swell-being and occasionally drops by to seehow she's doing. Scott Jacobi- plays thecop's nephew Mario, who has the hots forFoster. The director even has Mario limp,showing how much of an outsider he reallyis. Such obvious symbolism as this is usual-ly avoided in good films.

This movie is horribly insipid, not nearlyin the same class as such schlock as The Er-orcist or The Omen. It is not scary, not

romantic, and not funny (at least not inten-tionally). It is boring, so much so that bythe end no one really cares that the in-evitable ending. telegraphed to theaudience more than an hour earlier, evertakes place.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down TheLane does have one redeeming merit -some of the background music was writtenby Frederic Chopin. However, even themusic sounds bad in the context of thisfilm. It is a shame that such normally finethespians as Foster and Sheen can't removethemselves from this fiasco, but then evenBogart made a few clinkers.

Oarsmen suffer defeat Sat. in Eastern SprintsBy Peter Lemme

(Peter Lemme '80 is Man-ager of the freshman heavy-weight crew.)

The MIT men's- crew teamcompeted in the 32nd annualEastern Springs at Princeton,NJ last Sunday. The light-weights suffered from a slowbeginning, but improved stead-ily through the day. Theheavyweights had a very disap-pointing day.

The lightweight frosh went tothe sprints with high expecta-tions, hoping for a first or sec-ond place in their qualifyingheat. Fate dictated otherwiseand the shell finished fourth,placing them in a petit (conso-lation) heat. The crew cameback to finish first in their petit.

The JV lightweights beganpoorly to place last in theirqualifing heat. Like the frosh,they too came back to take firstplace in their petit. The varsitylightweights did as well as ex-pected. beating only Columbia.

The heavyweight frosh were

not' even able to beat Dart-mouth, whom they had beatenlast week and placed last intheir qualifing heat. The froshare a young crew and should benoticably improved for the In-tercollegiate Rowing Associa-tion Championships (IRA's) atSyracuse in two weeks.

The heavyweight Jv squadbeat Columbia in their qualify-ing heat but unfortunatelycame in last in the perit. Thevarsity was the most disap-pointing, placing third in thequalifying heat, beating onlyBrown by a foul -when theyveered out of their lane. Thesquad came back to place sec-ond in their petit, with an im-provement of 45 seconds overtheir morning time. This crewhas a lot of potential and coulddo quite well in the IRA's.

Many schools are now recruit-ing heavily: admitting personelthat have extensive high schoolrowing experience, which nat-urally gives them a noticableedge at the freshman level. Greg

.Golfers finish aheadBy Bob Cosway

A 15-6 victory over Bates lastSaturday ended the varsity golfteam's spring season on a win-ning note. The easy victory gaveM IT a record of 8-7 for thespring season, and a 3-9 recordfor the entire year.

The match marked the end ofthe careers of two four yearvarsity players, Bob Kneelandand Leo Bonnell. Kneeland fin-ished in style by shooting theday's lowest score, 81, and de-feating his Bates opponent 2-1.Bonnell also played well to winhis match 2-1.

Playing in positions three,four and seven respectively,Mark Hlughes, '79, Les Suna,

-79, and Bob Coswav '80 eachswept their matches 3-0. Sunaand Cosway each shot 84, while

Hughes recovered from a quin-tuple bogey on the tenth hole toshoot an 82. Number one golferJaime Dornbusch '78 and num-ber six Doug Wegner '79 eachhad tough matches, but bothmanaged to add one point to theteam's total.

Last week the JV team de-feated Middlesex by a narrowone stroke margin.

Pete Holland, the varsity andJV heavyweight coach, addedthat MIT could never recruitbecause there just are notenough oarsmen in high schoolthat are qualified both physical-lvy and academically. He be-lieves that by the varsity levelthe oarsmnen that rowed in highschool have no edge over theoarsmen who rowed exclusivelyin college.

Alumni lacrosse game tiedBy Glenn Brownstein

Proving the modified adagethat old lacrosse players neverdie, an alumni team from the lastten seasons weathered a fourth-quarter collapse to pull out a 15-15 .double-overtime tie againstMIT's varsity squad Saturday atBriggs Oval.

Both old and young contri.buted to the alumni's strongshowing: three-time team leadingscorer George Braun '75celebrated his return to MIT withsix goals and two assists, while JVgoalie Wes Harper '79. called onto fill the net for the short-staffedalumni, played the best game oFhis career in turning back 25 var-sity shots.

The varsity's star was of somevintage as well: attackman SteveHyland '77, a sometime studentfor several years, who scored fourgoals, including one that climaxeda desperate varsity rally and sentthe game into overtime.

The squads battled through a 3-3 first quarter before the alumni,paced by the scooping andshooting of ancient SteveSchroeder '67, opened up a three-goal lead that the varsity cut to 7-5by halftime, Schroeder scoredtwice, added an assist, andscooped four grounders in the se-cond period.

At halftime, varsity goalie JeffSinger '77 had II saves againstthe alumni's highpowered attack,and Harper had but six againstthe varsity. Yet the goalies' usualroles were reversed in the secondhalf, Harper making 15 saves inthe last 30 minutes of regulation

time and Singer just fiourSlnger's chief nemeses in the se-

cond half were Braun (ttwo coail-one assist) and I975 high eoa!scorer Bob Laurenson '5 tuogoals).

Both teams scored twLice in thethird quarter. but A! O'Connor'79 and 1977 leading goal scorerPhil MacNeil '79 pumped in twoquick goals to tie the game. 9-9after just two minutes of thefourth quarter.

Stu .NcKinnon, a "ringer" usedby the alumni to help its depletedranks (McKinnon took a term offthis spring. but will return to thevarsity next year as a sophomoreor junior), flipped in a I 5-footerat 2:43 to make it 10-9. Alumni,and Laurenson and Braun addedscores to give the "old men" a 12-9 lead with four minutes left inregulation.

Hyland scored at 11:58 to pullthe varsity within two, but it tooktwo goals in the final minute togain a 12-12 tie. Gordie Zuern-dorfer pumped one past Harperon a fast break feed from co-captain Roger Renshaw '77 withjust 56 seconds left, and thenHyland picked the top left cornerand beat Harper with just nine se-conds left to send the game into

As an era reaches its end, APOtheoses edgeFoul Shots glances back

By Glenn BrownsteinThis being my last of several dozen columns over four years at MIT,

I'd like to use this space to indicate some "bests" and "worsts" duringfour years of covering MIT and Boston sports.Best rivalry: For MIT, Tufts; for Boston, Boston University andBoston College;

My top ten sports moments/events: 1) Carlton Fisk's game-winning home run in the sixth game of the 1975 World Series; 2)Ricky Meagher's game-winning goal for Boston University againstClarkson in the 1977 ECAC semifinals: 3) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar'ssky hook to beat the Celtics in double overtime in the sixth game ofthe 1974 N BA finals: 4) Bernie Carbo's game-tying home run in thatsame World Series sixth game: 5) the women's volleyball team'sEastern title; 6) men's basketball's 70-69 win over Suffolk lastFebruary: 7) Jim McWade's incredible goaltending for WeymouthNorth - 40 saves - against Arlington in a triple-overtime EasternMass. schoolboy hockey playoff game two years ago; 8) LeighHogan's game-winning goal for Harvard against BU in the 1974Beanpot hockey final; 9) winning the "Little Iron Man" in 1974; 10)M IT baseball catcher Bobby Train's tag on a platebound Ithacarunner to preserve a 4-4 tie in the NCAA playoffs in 1974 - Trainwas knocked 20 feet after colliding with the Ithaca runner as balland runner arrived simultaneously, but somehow held on despiteinjuring his neck on the play.Biggest disappointment: the heralded Pele-Eusebio soccer matchup atSchaefer Stadium last May: the game, played in 35° chill and 25mphwinds before 25.000 frostbitten fans on a poorly kept, narrow Astroturffield. ranks with the worst games I've ever seen.Wildest scenes: I) the New England Whalers' farewell to Boston in1975. complete with broken bottles, cherry bombs, and a firecrackerthat exploded five feet from my seat: 2) Kenmore Square after the Soxwon Game Six of the 1975 Series.Most unbelievable hit: the Northeastern batter's home run shot OVERthe tennis bubble three years ago - the ball cleared the tennis courts,bounced on the Burton lawn, and hit the dorm about eight feet up.Most exciting MIT sports event: this is a thankless selection, since thereare so many possible winners, but I'll stick to the 90-86 double overtimebasketball loss to Tufts two years ago, saved twice by buzzer-beatingjumpers by Cam Lange '76 and watched by about 600 fans in the Cageand many, many more on MIT Cable the next week.Nice surprises: the MIT Rugby Club's New England title in 1974; theSports Illustrated feature about MIT sports (May 26 1975).And finally, most dedicated behind-the-scenes MIT athletic personality:there are so many nominees for this one, including everyone associatedwith getting women's sports recognized at MIT, all the intramuralmanagers-organizers, and tens of others, but I'd have to go with thelate Sam Benichasa, who gave birth to and really was, to many of us,the Summer Community Softball League. Benichasa, a Draperemployee, spent much of his time organizing, planning, playing, andhelping in his years at MIT. Without him, there would have been nosummer softball, not to mention the Draper Olympics, about twentyIAP seminars,. and so many other ongoing activities that it'd take acolumn to name them all.

Canadiens revive oldBy Gordon Haff

Serge Savard circled the icefar below the aging balconies ofBoston Garden. Behind himmassed a cheering crowd ofMontreal Canadiens, for alofthe carried the Stanley Cup, thesymbol of North Americanhockey supremacy. From the farreaches of the Garden driftedthe somewhat muted cheers fora team which had just swept theBruins in four games.

As the final games in playoffseries are wont to be, this onevas a close-checking, low-scor-ing game with no fighting. BothKen Dryden of the Canadiensand Gerry Cheevers of theBrains alternately brought thecrowd to its feet in frustrationand joy. It was Cheevers thatgot the Bruins through regula-tion time.

Even in the Garden, which isconsidered one of the most hos-tile rinks in the- league to visit-ing teams, the odds wereagainst the Bruins. When thehome team actually took a 1-0lead in the' first period, thecrowd went wild - maybe theBruins could pull it off after all.Not that anyone actually ex-
