By William LasserA former MIT student was one

of six persons arrested while cir-culating petitions against theSeabrook nuclear power plantMonday afternoon in Nashua,New Hampshire.

Wayne Christian '73 and fiveother members of BostonClamshell, an organization whichopposes the construction of theSeabrook plant, were chargedwith criminal tresspass when theyrefused to leave the area outside aNew Hampshire State Liquorstore after being ordered to do soby the police.

A person is guilty of criminaltresspas, as defined by NewHampshire statute, "if, knowinghe is not licensed or privileged todo so, he enters or remains in anyplace in defiance of an order toleave or not to enter which waspersonally communicated to himby the owner or other authorizedperson."

The six were arraigned inNashua and transferred to theHillsborough County Jail inManchester. They were releasedTuesday afternoon on S200 baileach.

The group traveled to theNashua store to protest the place-ment of petitions favorable to thecontroversial power plant in Stateliquor stores. Christian describedthe ensuing events as follows: thegroup asked the manager for per-mission to solicit signatures fortheir petition. After he refused

their request they began to collectsignatures outside the store. Thepolice arrived soon after, and thegroup did not resist arrest, Chris-tian said.

"I am outraged by the flagrantviolation of fair play by [NewHampshire Governor Meldrinm]Thompson in placing his petitionsin State liquor stores and in inti-midating employees into soli-citing signatures," said Christian.

"I am further outraged," he ad-ded, "that the Nashua City Policehad the audacity to arrest peoplepeacefully soliciting signaturesand to keep them as politicalprisoners for 24 hours."

A spokesman for GovernorThompson told The Tech that thegovernor had informed state li-quor store employees in a state-ment that "there is no coercioninvolved in my request [to solicitsignatures in favor of theSeabrook plant] and you don'thave to solicit signatures if youdisagree with me."

The spokesman explained thatthe governor had nothing to dowith the arrests, terming the inci-dent a "local matter." A Nashuapolice official refused to commentsince the case .is pending in thecourts.

Christian declared in an inter-view that the group had gone tothe liquor store with theknowledge that they might be ar-rested if they refused to leavewhen asked. "We had heard thatothers had been threatened with

arrest for circulating petitionssimilar to ours," he maintained."Our immediate concern was oneof preserving our Constitutionalrights."

In a statement issued after theirrelease from custody, the sixdeclared that they had been ar-rested "while exercising our rightsas citizens to free speech and topetition our government."

Steve Hilgartner, a spokesmanfor Boston Clamshell, insistedthat the arrests "were political innature," charging that "GovernorThompson seems to view the

police and the state liquor store astools to further his politicalends."

The maximum penalty forcriminal tresspass in NewHampshire is a fine of $1,000 andimprisonment of up to one year.The six defendants will berepresented by lawyers providedby the American Civil LibertiesUnion. Christian indicated that,although no firm decision hadbeen made it is likely that thegroup would sue the State of NewHampshire for monetarydamages.

By Stelap BesenThe question of whether

humanities courses should be in-creased across the board fromnine to twelve units is currentlybeing considered by the faculty.

Representatives of several com-mittees and departments have ex-pressed an interest in the issue,but they indicated uncertainty asto who would make the final deci-sion.

The Committee on Curricula(COC) usually deals with all re-quests to increase the credit givenfor current courses and assignsthe units for new coarses. In thelast year many humanities andsocial science professors have re-quested that more units be givenfor their courses.

Professor Eugene Covert,chairman of the COC, said hefeels that "the increasing numberof requests to change subjectsfrom nine to twelve units presentsproblems.;. if all humanitiescoursere upgraded, it couldinduene the elective freedom ofstudents."

Associate Dean of the Schoolof Humanities and SocialSciences Donald Blackmer saidthat the criteria for changing thecredit value of courses is "highlyarbitrary" at present.

Professor Leon Trilling,Chairman of the Committee onthe Humanities, Arts, and SocialSciences Requirement (HASS),terms the present situation an"articifical issue" stating that thereal issue may be "what theminimum exposure to humanitiesought to be."

President Jerome B. Wiesner

said that the problem is a "facultymatter" that "falls within the areaof responsibility of existing com-mittees." Covert, whose commit-tee has authority to deal with thesituation said that the COC is an"ocverseeinlg rather than problemsolving committee" whose job itto "set guidelines."

Trilling said that the HASSwas asked to recommend actionon the credit change requests. Thecommittee has not yet agreed todo so, but if they find it ap-propriate the committee will tryto "keep things orderly until a

present system, because it isharder to assign a numerical valuefor work done in a humanities orsocial science course than in anengineering or science course.

Although there is no officialmoratorium on the upgrading ofcredit units in humanities andsocial science courses. the HASSand COC are discouraging newrequests. Covert stated that thereare "no imminent changes ofgreat nature." However, Wiesnerstated that it "is not a healthymatter," it is an emotional-issuewhich needs a solution.

new committee can report to thefaculty," according to Trilling.He insisted that his committeewould not be involved in the for-mation of a new long-term solu-tion.

According to Blackmer, thebest solution for his departmentmay be to eliminate MIT's pre-sent unit system entirely andreplace it with a simpler systemwhich would give credit for "fullcourses" or "half courses."

He feels that humanities andsocial science professors are at adisadvantage in dealing witb the

The Comrnitteee onEngineering Education hasproposed the institution of"schoolwide electives" to thecurriculum. These courseswould "transcend departmen-tal boundaries in content,method of instruction, andstudent interest," said theCommittee in a report to theEngineering faculty.

Decriminalization of mari-juana in New York hasbecome a reasonable pos-sibility now that State SenateRepublicans have eased theiropposition, according to TheNew York Times. Among thereasons cited for the changingattitudes: politicians do nothave to worry about getting re-elected until at least 1978.

Freedom of speech:at times a bitter pill

By William LasserThe bachelor in Don Quixote remarked that "there is no book so

bad but something good may be found in it." Conversely, RalphWaldo Emerson once wrote that "Books are the best things, well used:abused. among the worst." These two conflicting sentiments are at thecrux of a controversy which has raged for the past two weeks atNorthwestern University and around the world.

The dispute involves the case of Arthur R. Butz, associate professorof electrical engineering at Northwestern, MIT Class of '55, holder ofthree degrees from the Institute. On Jan. 14, The Daily Northwesternreported that Butz had written a book, entitled The Hoax oJ the Twen-tieth Century. which claimed that the Nazis did not exterminate mil-lions of Jews during World War 11. Butz, who has had no formal train-ing in either history or any other field of social science. wrote that the"legend" of the concentration camps "is a concoction of the Zionistmovement."

Northwestern announced on Jan. 17 that no action would be takenagainst the tenured professor. as University Provost Raymond W.Mack asserted that Butz "has the same right as any other person to getpublished." The faculty circulated a petition expressing "disap-pointment" at the book's publication.

Within two weeks. the issue became a major story, and theUniversity administration. spurred on by coverage in the national

press, finally reacted. "No informedperson could take seriously the allegationthat Northwestern University is suppor-tive of anti-Semitism,".Mack began in anofficial statement on Jan. 26. He calledthe Butz thesis a "contemptible insult tothe dead and bereaved," and he declaredthat the affair was not "an academicfreedom issue."

The right to publish what one writes is"available to an% citizen of the UnitedStates under the First Amendment," he

continued. concluding that "it is a shame when the right is used to in-sult survivors of concentration camps."

The next day. the floodgates burst open. Alumni, students andfaculty attacked Butz in letters to the Daihl. Hundreds of facultymembers signed a full-page advertisment in the paper expressing "sor-ro% and outrage" at the Butz book, and "disappointment" at theUniversitv's official reaction. A Daily editorial condemned the Mackstatement for "addressing the repercussions of the book - Awhatdamage this publication might do to the reputation of NU - not thecontents of the book or the moral outraoe of the NU community"

Liberals and cihil libertarians. recalling the horrifying burning ofbooks by the Nazis. are faced ,ith weighing a demand for intellectual,moral and academic integrity against a deep respect for the principlesof the First Amendment and all it stands for.

The First Amendment does not and never did offer a blanket right toevery citizen to sat whateser he would like. "Congress shall make nolaw abridging freedom of speech." it says simpl\. but. like everyseemingb straightforward Constitutional statement, it has been opento interpretation and limitation by the Courts since it was written. Forexample. no one can legallN shout "Fire" in a crowded building. if thereis no fire. or publicly libel another with malicious intent.

But. as objectionable and irresponsible as the Butz statement is, canwe declare that he has no right to write the book. publish it and defendit'? Can one ,.itensel- concerned with the preservation of our naturaland constitutional rights, sickened bv the Butz incident. allow himselfto deny another the rights which he so jealousl. ouards for himself?

We are faced with a situation w hich resembles that of the liberal wholoves humanity but can't stand his next-door neighbor. As much as onecherishes the ideal of free speech, one can not help but feel a deep desireto deny it to someone with such dangerously obnoxious ideas.

Butz's book is among the worst of things, for the great right of freespeech has been abused. But some good can be found in it: it teaches usthat we must allow those with obscene and maniacal ideas to publish, asmuch as we are repulsed by their writings.

Man~ terrible thoughts will be proliferated before a legitimate newidea is expressed. It is therefore necessary to at least momentarily con-sider each new one before rejecting it. 'Ever idea is an incitement,.wrote Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and when anti-Semites, racistsand lunatics attempt to spread their inhumane falsehoods, it is an in-citement for us to attack their work ruthlessly, using all our influence toset the facts straight. That is academic freedom.

I

The other main flaw in theproposed plan is the city councilreorganization. The increase innumber, a carrot hung out infront of the city council to gaintheir support, is a good. ideabecause it will increase thechances for minority representa-tion. But the council was.hypocritical in its decision to electcouncil members on an at-largebasis. Why should the city councilbe elected at-large when theschool committee is elected fromdistricts to make it more represen-tative? Mayor White has said that

mayor, allow him to respond tothe city's problems.

As pointed out earlier, theproposed school committeechanges are all very good. Thestrengthening of the position ofsuperintendent of schools willmake the superintendent moreable to manage the school systemand allow the school committeeto concentrate more on thequality of education in the Bostonschool system than on the day-to,day workings. The control thatthe Mayor would gain over theschool committee budget wouldhelp him to be able to control tihetax rate of the citv far more effec-tively then he has been able to doin the past.

This charter proposal doeshave several shortcomings. Thepartisan election of the mayorcould make Boston the Chicagoof the East coast, and the lack ofdistrict elections for councilmembers is a weak point thatmight be cured in the future,Beyond that, though, the restruc-turing of the school system tocreate greater fiscal responsibilityand make education the toppriority of the committeemembers again is a long overdueand necessary reform. That con-sideration overrides the charterrevision's shortcomings.

By Tim BuehrerNext Wednesday, the Local Af-

fairs Committee of the statelegislature will take up the Bostoncity charter revision as proposedby Mayor White and the citycouncil. Because of the Mayor'scampaign to limit citizen groupinvolvement in the decision-making process at the city level,the state committee session willfinally allow the public to have asignificant amount of influenceon the plan, and will force themayor to defend it against themany complaints which have

been levied aginst it.As the plan currently stands it

would accomplish five majorchanges in the present system: 1)It would increase the number ofcity councilors from 9 to 13. allelected at-large. 2) It wouldprovide for the partisan electionof the mayor and the city council.3) It would increase thenumber of school committeemembers from 5 to 15, electedfrom districts. 4) It would set up astrong superintendent of schoolsby making him responsible formanaging the school system. 5)Finall,,', it would eliminate thenear fiscal autonomy of theschool department by requiringits budget to be approved by themayor and city council.

The major difficulties as-sociated with this plan do notarise from the school committeereorganization but from thechanges dealing with the citycouncil and the mayor. The firstproblem is that because of thepartisan election of the mayor,and the additional power hewould acquire over the schooldepartment, Kevin White mightbecome the next boss of Boston.With the political organizationthat White has been setting up inthe city since the last election, itwould be easy for him to win theDemocratic nomination in a largefield. If his sole opponent in thegeneral election were to be aRepublican, he would then haveno trouble securing himself themayor's office for as long as hewanted.

This may not occur, however,-because a strong democratic op-ponent could run as a progressiveindependent, making it a threeway contest in which theRepublican candidate might drawenough votes away from White'sstrength in Republican areas toswing the election to the indepen-dent.

"the neighborhoods needrepresentation on the school com-mittee but I think the city stillneeds a city-wide elected body-.He is correct about the schoolcommittee. In the past 20 yearshalf of the school committeemembers have come from just 4of the city's 22 wards and therehave been no blacks or hispanicson the committee. The city coun-cil, however, should be elected bydistricts also. That would allowthe same neighborhood represen-tation as on the school committeeand would still, because of thepower of the city-wide elected

By David B. KoretzHave you recently walked

along the ice-coverd path fromthe west-campus dormitoriestowards the Insitute, or, perhaps,from the Student Center towardsMass. Ave., and inwardlymarveled at the "prodigious ef-forts" of M IT's Physical Plantworkmen in keeping the groundsclear of snow and ice?

Have you wondered, within thelast month, why the footing fromthe western end of Amherst Driveto Mass. Ave. has been so limitedas to be extremely dangerous,your $6000+ in annual paymentsto the Institute notwithstanding?

Last Wednesday, Tech Talk,the publishing arm of the MITNews Office, printed a captionunder a photograph of snow-removal operations that con-gratulated the Institute'sgroundsmen, et at, for their finework, and pointed to this winter'sunusually large snowfall as an ex-cuse for any lagging in the clear-ing of walks, roads, and lots.

The walkway, from Tang,Westgate, and the other dor-

mitories has been covered withabout two inches of treacherouslyslipper) ice since the snow andrain fell in very early January, andonly quite recently has the icemelted in any great quantity. Thesidewalks, as well as the pathfrom the Student Center, were leftunsalted, unsanded, and un-touched for weeks while slippingand sliding became the expectedmode of walking for many stu-dents.

I have not, as you may havenoticed, referred at all to thestreets themselves; they have beendown to the ground since twodays after the storms ended. Forthis reason, it should be obviousthat MIT can do the job. It is sim-ple negligence that this safetyhazard and major inconveniencehas long gone uncorrected.

In the photo caption, attentionis called to the -50 people (who]have been involved in the effort."It seems that MIT has forgottento include the thousand or morestudents who have done theirsmall part by wearing the ice downand chipping away at it bit by bit.

Clem: Well, I don't believe thatthe Laboratory ExperimentationReview Board accomplished anymore than the NIH did in beingable to quantify what the healthhazard is....I don't beleive thatthey have decided concretely thatno health hazard exists. Whatthey have done from theirperspective as citizens of

Cambridge is to satisfythemselves that a great manyscientists and individuals haveworked very hard to safeguardagainst any potential risk, andthey have agreed in effect to sharein the decision-making.

The Cambridge community atlarge, I believe, has a right to beinformed of the types of researchgoing on within its environs, and Ithink they ought to be involved ina decision-making process todetermine whether they are will-ing to accept certain risks.

what would happen in a P3laboratory, but they were suf-ficiently satisfied that safeguardshad been promulgated and thatprotection could be afforded tothe Cambridge citizen for the ma-jority of all risks with additionalguidelines. I think that [their] ad-ditional guidelines actuallyimprove the NIH guidelines sub-stantially.

They also concurred in myearlier belief that regulation hadto be apart from the NIH andthat it needed to be at the federallevel as opposed to the local level.They recognized they had nopower to implement that, andsuggested that the City Councilimvolve themselves in a substan-tial lobbying effort to make thefederal government live up totheir responsibilities. and I think Icertainly intend to do that, andothers on the Council do as well.

_______artsLaser musical Lovelightinteresting despite flaws

By David B. KoretzLobeiight is billed by its producers as the

".orid's first laser musical" and as "a uni-que entertainment experience." While it isboth of these and an amazing techicalachievement as well. it is simpI not very

oood.L.rvelight is a fortv-minute production

combinin2 abstract and semi-abstractimages drawr.n with laser beams with a loudiazz-rock musical score belted out bN Bosespeakers. The show. is presented on thedome in the Ha!den Planetarium atBoston's Museum of Science six nights aw eek.

Interscan. the Cambridge-based groupishich produced Lovelight. pretentiouslyand arbitraril\ divides the progrdin intothree acts. The first of these. Earthlight."runs the gamut of our planet's histor\ fromthe primeval daw.n through Greek civiliza-tLon. complete i tth diaeramrns ofP thagoreas's triangle. Here the high pointof the show's creativir? is reached. the onlyplace where the pseudo-imager\ is effec-tive.

The second act. "Spacelight". begins-Awith a sills 'oice-over - done in part b3W\COZ's Lisa Karlin - talking about leav-ing the galaxy and being "in a different in-finitv." The ten-minute segment features ascore that sounds like Blood. Sweat andTears with Tom Jones singing. Here. asthroughout the production. it is apparentthat Interscan could have done better thanthe mediocre local musicians throw ntogether in this package. perhaps usingmore vell-kno n contemporary music.For "Spacelight". the "Starship side ofKantner and Slick's Blots A.4gainst the Em-pire comes to mind immediately asmatching the content perfectly.

The third and last act. intended to be theclimax. is titled "Lovelight." and tries tobriefl, touch upon various humanrelationships. One of the most beautifulscenes of the whole show is in the "Nar-issus" scene. in which reflections in a shim-mering pool appear and are then disruptedrepeatedl 3 .

Again. the soundtrack in this last seg-ment severely limits the enjoyment of theproduction. As the images blend into onesof friendship and love. the music shouldrun softer, not, as with Lovelight, harsher.The struggling band sounds much likeCarole King and a gospel choir backed upby Kiss.

.As a work. Lovelight lacks continuity onall levels. The three acts. although shownas a unit. do not follow logicallv or ar-tisticallv. as each segment has its owntheme. its ox n visual imagery. and its ox nmusical conimposition.

Although man, of the laser-driven formsare draw n or are faded onto the domegracefully. many of them vanish suddenly.breaking the created effect. In a similarmanner, the melod3 is abruptly changed.without a gradual fadeout or lead-in.

While these defects may seem minor in atechnical achievement of this magnitude,the3 detract from the enjoyment of theaudience. The best way for one to enjoy apresentation like Lovelighi is to lie back.,hile in a semi-conscious state.

A major hindrance is the unusual set-upof Hayden Planetarium. although it is clearthat such a brilliantly projected show doesbelong on its domed "screen," theplanetarium's seats do not rock or slideback. As a result, those who are placed inthe inner rings of seats are forced to cranetheir neck domeward during the entire per-formance. a very uncomfortable ex-nerience. as well I learned.

In spite of all these technical andaesthetic flaws. Lovelighi is well worth see-ing. if only because it is the first show of itskind.

The laser effects are indeed tremendous,and a more carefully written scr'pt. as wellas a more professional musical score.would have provided a remarkable show.

An unusual kind of presentation,Loielight is beautiful and breath-taking.This new type of multi-media show shouldsoon gain a large following - if not onlyamong light-show cultists - among a widevariety of theater-goers.

Record Review

Ani mas: slick FloydBy Robert St. James

.4inimlal - Pink Floyd (Columbia)Pink Flovd is by no means the most-

prolific rock group in the recording in-dustrv. .4Animal.. their -newest album.proves again, however, that their work isalmost w ithout equal.

Anihmals. Pink Flovd's first new release inalmost a year and a half, is a superbmusical accomplishment. fCoisisIi-ngof fit;risongs. the album is aesthetically andtechnically splendid. The instrumentationis excellent. exercising a good balance inthe use of both acousfic and electricguitars. The vocal mix is consistently crispand clear. Throughout the album there isalso fine. but not overdone, utilization ofainimal sounds - both real and simulatedby instruments.

Although the entire album is superiormaterial. the song "Sheep." on the secondside. stands out. The blending between thevocal and instrumental tracks is a trulymagnificent achievement.

In keeping w.ith its title, the album

revolves around animal-related themes.Serving as prelude and epilogue are parts Iand 2 of "Pig on a Wing." This gave rise tothe promotional campaign launched inEurope to publicize Animals' release. A 50foot, pink, pig shaped balloon served as attangible "Pig on a Wing" in order topublicize the album's release. A picture ofthe balloon also appears on the cover ofA'tnialx.s;

The foundation of the animal theme is inthe lyrics. "Dogs." which takes up all but aminute of the first side, likens the behaviorof dogs with the occasional caninebehavior of people. "Pigs (Three DifferentOnes)," makes a similar comparison.

Many of the guitar riffs on Ainmals. arereminiscent of WVis.h you Wa'ere Here.released in the fall of 1975. and the 1973Dark Side q' the Moon. especially in thelonger, instrumental sections.

These albums are the only three PinkFloyd has recorded in the last five vears.but considering the excellence of Animals.it is surely worth the wait.

SDOorts AoLHockey hits January skid

By Tom StaglianoThe Hockey club enters Satur-

day's game against Bates postinga 7-4-1 record.

This is the best midseasonshowting by the Beavers in severalyears, but is a let-down from pre-Christmas expectations. Theskaters broke for vacation with a4-1 record racking up winsagainst B.C. Law School, Tufts.Bunker Hill and Gordon and alone defeat at the hands of theMassachusetts College of Phar-macy. Then, with a late IAP prac-tice schedule, delayed by theJanuary snow storms, the Beaverswent 3-3-1 during a sixteen dayperiod, culminating in a 3-2 lossin a rematch against Tufts lastTuesday.

The IAP matches started with awild 7-5 free-for-all victoryagainst Clark University. Thegame saw 22 minor penaltiescalled against the two teams,resulting in six power play goals,most of the game being played ina man down situation. DaveTohir '79 of MIT and Clark'sMike Paska. traded hat tricksduring the game and the teamstraded punches in an end of thematch scuffle. A highlight of thisgame was the return of forwardFrank Scarabino G to the Beaverranks. Scarabino scored thewinning goal against Clark.

Venturing north after the Clarkfireworks, the Beavers went stonecold. In arctic conditions on anoutdoor rink, MIT suffered a 4-0shut out by Gordon College.

The following evening broughtthe Massachusetts College ofPharmacy to Brigh's Arena for arematch. Beaver goalie Paul EsteyG recorded 23 saves and forwardKen Mortensen '77 pumped intwo goals. leading MIT to a 4-1victory. This taste of victory wassavored the next night also, as theBeavers traveled to the Universityof Maine at Portland. Leading 5-2entering the third period, the
