By Gary Engelsonand Ron Newman

An ROTC-sponsored exhibitof "Air Force Art" was removedfrorn Lobby 7 late yesterday after-noon after over a hundreddemonstrators draped the exhibitwith banners covered with anti-war statements and drawings.Citing "the risk that one or moreof the 34 paintings in the exhibitmight -be irreparably damaged,"the Air Force decided to call offthe exhibit's scheduled three dayrun. (See box at right)

The exhibit, consisting ofpaintings of Air Force activitiesaround the world, is part of anAir Force collection of over 4,300paintings, most of which are ex-hibited at the Wright-PattersonAir Force Base aerospacemuseum in Dayton, Ohio.

The non-violent protest, whichdid not' damage the exhibitedworks, began around 3:30pmwhen about five architecture stu-

.*.

dents from studios near Lobby 7began circulating petitionsagainst "the use of major MSITpublic spaces for an exhibitstrongly representing an adver-tisement for military purposes."Shortly thereafter, more studentsappeared with a' roll of brownwrapping paper. as well asmarkers, paint, and ink.

"We object to the use of MITpublic spaces for thinly disguisedmilitary purposes," explainedFrank Miller G, one of the stu-dents circulating the petition.Miller described the ensuingdemonstration as "spontaneous,"an "attempt to encouragedialogue, and avoid other thanverbal confrontations. We neitherimpaired the view of thepaintings, nor damaged the struc-ture," he added.

Yesterday's protest was notablefor the total lack of chantedslogans, picket signs, leaflets, andother paraphenalia usually as-sociated with organizeddemonstrations. Protestors mixedfreely with passersby, defendersof the exhibit, and spectators,making an accurate count of thedemonstrators difficult. The mainactivity of the protest was thepainting of personal statementssuch as " Rockets are not romrnan-tic", "Is this the best we do withwhat we know? I hope not!", and"tWhere-is:--the art in r-omanitc-images of destif-ction?" on theunrolled brown paper.

The demonstration precipitatedseveral debates in the lobby overwhether the exhibit constituted arecruitment advertisement" orwas simply "art." Major Steve L.Orten, Assistant Professor ofAerospace Studies (Air ForceROTC) at M IT, described it as'an art exhibit on tourthroughout the United Statescommemorating the 75th anniver-sary of powered flight.....

Engleson)was a recruiting device we'd bethere with a table." Miller, on theother hand, pointed out that"there are so many Air Forcelogos and names that you can'tcome away from it without thefeeling that you've been 'ap-proached' by the Air Force." Mil-ler also criticized the show for"romanticizing aircraft which aretypically used irr warfare."

Several people passing throughthe lobby objected to thedemonstration. One Air ForceROTC cadet complained, "I wasquite upset with the defacing ofthe exhibit in Lobby 7 and I thinkthere is a much better way to ex-press their [the protesters] viewsthan putting up signs all1 over theexhibit.." The signs interfered witha person's right to view what hewishes, the cadet claimed. He ad-ded that petitions a-re acceptableas a form of protest.

That cadet and other peoplewho objected to the protest madeseveral abortive attempts toremove thae banners from aroundthe base of the exhibit. But thebanners remained up even as AirForce ROTC cadets began takingdown the exhibit itself. Onedemonstrator began putting uppictures of bombed cities and the

My Lai massacre.The petition, which will be

delivered to the Lobby 7 Commit-tee, the Dean for Student Affairs,and the President of M IT, wassigned by 237 people, includingseveral faculty' members.

The U. S. Air Force haselected to terminateprematurely the exhibition ofthe Air Force Art Collection inthe Lobby of Building 7because of the risk that one ormore of the 34 paintings in theexhibit might be irreparablydamaged. I regret that the In-stitute could not give the AirForce assurance that thepaintings could be adequatelyprotected against possibledamage. The Lobby, under thebest of circumstances, is farfrom ideal as a place to exhibitvaluable works of art. Unfor-tunately, both Hayden Galleryand Compton Gallery werecommitted at the time the AirForce exhibit was available.The Air Force was concernedthat tensions generated by theprotest against the exhibitThursday afternoon mightpossibly lead to some in-dividual act of vandalism oraccidental defacement. The In-stitute understands the AirForce decision and regrets itsnecessity.

Article XXVIIPassed. by Congress Dec. 25,: i98 g -Rattified Dec. 25,984. ...

-Sec. 1. The First throughTenth Articles of amendmentshall not apply to all personswho are homosexuals, Com-munists, atheists, or believersin paganism; nor to anypersons who refuse to take anoath of allegiance to the NewTestament of the Holy Bible'and to Our Lord and SaviorJesus Christ.

See. 2. Congress shall havethe power to enforce this Arti-cle by appropriate legislation.

Can it happen here?Consider:During the Anita Bryant

campaign, a Bryant acolyteadmitted reluctantly to a NewTimes reporter that homosex-uals have a right to exist - "aslong as they stay in the closet."- Last month the NationalAssociation of ReligiousBroadcasters started to-organize a massive mail-and-phone campaign to purgenetwork television of anymaterial they don't happen tolike. According to Newsweek,the campaign will include anattempt to organize the na-tion's Christians into a mas-sive pressure group.

In a chilling letter to Timemagazine, the editor ofChristianity Today said thatthe American evangelicalmovement must "change" ma-jor American institutions (hespecifically mentioned univer-sities) which "go their ownway without significant repen-tance or alteration." And in asimilar letter to the Daily lastyear, a born-again asked veryun-rhetorically: "Is it wise tosee the separation of churchand state as an absolute?"

Today's Christians, in short,could very possibly becometomorrow's dictators.

regulation were debated at theseventh Annual Sea Grant Lec-tuie and Symposium held lastTuesday. Each of the fivemembers of the panel had aslightly different perspective onthe question of environmentalquality vs. economical tankeroperation.

Lecturer Erling Naess led offthe program with a 30-minuteprepared speech heavily laced·with dates and figures. Naess,representing the independenttanker owners, observed that oilspills were an unavoidable conse-quence of man's dependence onpetroleu m . The assertion that oilspills could only be reduced, butnot eliminated, was one of the fewpoints that all five panelistsagreed on. Naess also argued thatthe marine. environment was"largely unharmed" by these oilspills, and placed much of theblame for such spills on shorenavigational aids and personnel.

Naess cited a statistic whichwas later touched on by each ofthe subsequent speakers: 80 per-cent of the hydrocarbon dischargeby tankers occurs during day-to-day operations, while only 20 per-cent is due to the "photogenic"oil spills. Naess than gave various

Amendment (Question I on theNovernber 7 ballot) should nothurt fraternities, State Represen-tative Barney Frank (D-BackBay) told The Tech last Friday.

IFrank stated his intention tofie a bill "next January orFebruary" to correct what hecalls "a defect" in the Amend-ment's enabling legislation, whichclassifies lodging houses as "com-mercial'" rather than "residential"property. Some officers of MIT'sIntcrfraternity Conference areafraid that fraternities could beincluded in the commercialcategory since the City of Bostonrequiresthem to have lodginglicences.

The enabling act,usually refer-red to as the "shelf bill" since itwill take effect only if Question 1passes, authorizes cities andtowns to tax residential propertyat lower rates than equivalent-value commercial property. Thispractice, traditional in Boston

and other lhrge cities, was ruledunconslitutional by the Mas-sachusetts Supreme Court inll1974.

According to l-;rank, the shelfbill as originally proposed byBoston Mayor Kevin White clas-sifed only single-family andowner-occupied houses asresidential. "I threatened to stopthe whole thing if it didn't alsoproctect renters,"' Frankremarked. As a result, apartmentbuiltdings were added !o theresidential class, but in the !:tlst-,.minute rush to pass the shelf billbefore adjournment, the lodginghouse exception was left in. Franksaid he anticipated little troubleremoving the exception.

In t er f ratern i ty Co n ferencechairman Joe Chapman '79 saidWednesday that the IFC still wastaking no official position on clas-sification. But Chapman also saidhe now feels that "we shouldprobably try to pass Question 1and then make sure we're classedresidential."

The time for choosing a successor to MIT President Jerome B.Wiesner may be soon at hand. Dr. Wiesner, who has served as Presi-dent since I197 1. is currently spending much of his time raising funds forthe Leadership Campaign. But this drive is slated to end in 1980, andWiesner himself is nearing sixty-five years of age, so his retirement maybe announced in the near future.

T he most evident choice to succeed Wiesner is Chancellor Paul Gray.Gray has played a large part in running the Institute since becomingChancellor, and last spring he even took over the main administrativedutties of MIT- while Wiesner worked on the Leadership Campaign.Gray has spent much of his administrative career at MIT, as well as be-ing an M IT undergraduate many years ago, and has M IT crimson-and-gray flowing in his veins. This loyalty may count against him if con-sidered for President though, for as an MIT administrator he has nothad the time to gain the recognition as a scientificc Figure and authoritythat is often required of the position. Gray assumed his post collcur-rently with Wiesner in 1971 after serving as Assistant Provost toWiesner's Provost, and it would seem that these two are a 'packagedeal' when it comes to MIT administration.

A new candidate for MIlT's next President has recently arrived in theperson of Dr. -Robert Seamans, Dean of the School of Engineering.

ISeamans received graduate. 1|1 _| ~~~~degrees from M IT before

Though Seamans' ex-perience at MUIT administration is not currently substantial enough, hismanragementl skills sand scientific reputation could give him an outsidechance to become President.

Wiesner was National Science Advisor to President Kennedy beforereturning to) be MIT's Provost and later President, and, sure enough,another MIT m'an is currently Science Advisor to the President, D~r.Fralnk Press. Press left for Washington last year, after heading theDepartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences at MIT. From Presiden-tial Science Advisor to MIT Pre~sidenot has been a familiar route before,traveled by both Wiesner and James R. Killian. Press, like Seam~ans,mzay need more experience at MIT admi~nistration, but his nationalscientific renown makes him an attractive candidate for MIT's toppost.

Prospects for a new president also are available in the inner circles OfMIlT's aldministration. Provost Walter Rosenblith is a noted scientist inbio-clectricall engineering, and a former Chairman of the MIT Faculty,but he is over sixty-five and this might discourage his selection. Assis-talit Provost Hartley Rogers is a possibility, but only for the future.Kenneth Wadleigh, Dean of the Graduate School, is a long-time MITmnl~l, serving on the faculty, as a Vice President, and for eight years asDe.ln Ior Student Affairs. Wadleigh is a leading candidate due to thisexperience aind his varied -administrative positions, and could succeedWiesnler if the MIT Corporation wants .a manager rather than;soniedwonl with aI famnous scientific career. Long shots for thePresidency include William Posunds, Deant of the Sloan School-ofMalnagemlent, and John Deutch, former Heald of the ChemistryDepralrtmlent and now Director of Energy Research in the US D:epart-mntel of' Energy.

The selection of M: IT Presidents is not always predictable, though, asin the case of Howard Johnson, Wiesner's predecessor and nowChazirmant of the, MIT Corporation. Johnson was chosen to be Presi-de~nt in 1965, after only ten years at the Institute, rising to that post_from Associa1te Pro~fesso~r through Dean of the Sloain School ofManagenment. No one wa1s more surprised than Johnson himself,however, for he hald resigned zas Dean of Sloan only a week before hisseletion and hald actu'ally moved to Cincinnati, all ready to begin 'h.isduties as Vic~e-Presidenlt of Federated Department Stores.

Specu1laion on MIT's next President is a delicate matter: the realdec~is~ionlwill depend'on the mood and deliberations of the MIT Cor-poraltionl. And who knows. with the US Congress extending theminimumnI landatory retirement alge to seventy, Jerry Wiesner may be.lrounld until we all graduate.

For example, the bubonic plague was refer-red to as the origin of the sick joke, and thefounding of the United States was a "prac-tical joke."

In general, this was the funniest part ofthe evening. At one point, Paulsen put asweat sock on his hand and proceeded tospeak to his "Thomas Jefferson hand pup-pet." Later, as he was playing guitar, hesuddenly noticed the Kresge organ andcommented, "I think the building hascancer."

After his review of comedic history,Paulsen launched into a typical comedyroutine, consisting mostly of politicalhumor. Paulsen ran for President in 1968and 1972, and some of the material seemedto go back that far. How long can a come-dian harp on Watergate and Jerry Ford's

klutziness?The audience seemed to be enjoying the

performance. Numerous times, especiallyduring the more impromptu sections,Paulsen's performance was interrupted byapplause. Many of the students who at-tended, however, were somewhat disap-pointed by the advertised "film outtakesnever before seen due to censorship."

They turned out to be a few minutes ofethnic jokes (done in blackface) that hadbeen censored fromn a Merv Griffin show.Short though they were, the jokes were fun-ny.

At Paulsen's supposedly trance-inducedurging, the evening ended with a standingovation. It was an overenthusiastic endingto an evening of enjoyable, but uneven,comedy.

By Stephanie Pollack

Pat Paulsen's LSC sponsored ap-pearance Tuesday night was indeed a "lec-ture in humor" - both the kind that worksand the kind that doesn't. The quality oft.he comedy in Paulsen's hour routineranged from very good to old, overusedpuns.

.The basic premise of the evening was areview of world history with respect tocomedy. At the start, Paulsen referred tohumor as "the glue that has held mankindtogether from' the beginning there is somuch of it, however, that I can only offeryou a sniff." He then proceeded to parallelthe major historical periods from the timeof the cavemen to the present, but relatingall of the major historical events to humor.

By Joel WestThe Handel and Haydn Society opened

their 164th season last Friday with a per-formance of the Haydn Creation. H & H,best known for its annual ChristmastideMessiah, is presenting a fairly conservativeprogram this year, perhaps to justify theprofessional ticket prices for their amateurproductions.' Haydn composed the oratorio The Crea-tion in 1797; combining his success withcomic opera with his impression ofHandel's oratorios. The work was wellreceived at its debut in Vienna the nextyear: the combination of vocal virtuositywith the grandeur of its choral writingpleased both those seeking secular andreligious enjoyment.

Of the soloists, soprano Linda Zoghbyclearly stole the show, not only from hertwo male colleagues, but also from the 160-odd other people on the stage. Never reallypushed to its upper limit, her warm voicefilled the hall tfiroughout the performance;she alone of the soloists seemed to unders-tand the concept of ornamentation, ex-ecuting it in a fashion that must have beenquite common in Haydn's day, -thoughwithout ever losing control of her voice.

Her aria "Auf starkem Fittige" during TheFifth Diay was one of the highlights of theevening.

Bass Michael Burt, a former researchchemist, gave a spotty performance. Hisearly secco recitative was of dubious in-tonation, and his voice never matched thepower of Zoghby's in the louder passages.However, the two gave a delightful perfor-mance of the lengthy final duet, "Dertauende Morgen." Accompanied, Burt wasexcellent in the aria, "Gleich 8ffnet sic derErde" in The Sixth Day. Tenor CharlesBressler, although expressive enough inquiet passages, was unable to project in anysection louder than mif. Both men sufferedfrom their inexplicable placement at therear of the stage, with the chorus, whichcontrasts with the Boston SymphonyOrchestra (BSO)'s policy of placing vocalsoloists at the front of the stage.

The 108-member chorus was'amazinglygentle in the soft passages, and maintainedan excellent balance throughout the work.However, few soprano sections could sharethe stage with Zoghbv and escape the com-parison favorably; their shrillness on theupper end detracted in certain passages,though it was perhaps less noticeable than

Vl. in some other large choruses locally. Thealto and tenor sections were quite good, thebasses somewhat weaker.

In response to Thomas Dunn's gyra-tions, the orchestra produced a perfor-mance that was musically satisfying,though riddled with technical flaws. All inall, H & H gave what would be considereda good performance for an amateur group;however, at ticket prices that are oftengreater than the BSO's for a comparableseat, most concert goers had a right to feelcheated last Friday. For those studentswho have a passion for the large choralworks of Bach, Handel, or Haydn, otheramateur groups, such as the MIT ChoralSociety or the Harvard University Choir,do an equally credible job at a far morereasonable price. For those that must seethe it & H, however, student rush ticketsare available after 5pro on the day of theperformance, priced at $3, $4 and $5 each(ID required).

By Murray BiggsEditor's note: Murray Biggs is the Direc-

tor of the Shakespeare Ernsemble.This weekend the Shakespearn Ensemble

is trying something new. We're offeringtwo plays instead of one. Much Ado runsThursday, Saturday, and Monday; Romeoand Juliet Friday, -Sunday, and Tuesday;both at 7:45pm in the Sala.

The idea of repertory acting isn't new inthe Ensemble. We have quite a large stockof scenes from many different plays byShakespeare (and some other playwrights),which get performed fairly often both oncampus and off. Most of our actors staywith us at least two or three years and soaccumulate scenes; one has'as many as 19in her repertoire right now. So over aperiod of time the same actor develops, andgrows in, a wide range of roles.

Now we've extended this repertory idea.to full-lerngth productions. The two playsinvolve 24 actors, of whom 10 are in both.This is a unique opportunity and challengefor student actors. It's made possible onlyby the Ensemble's longterm membershippolicy. Romeo. and Juliet was developedand first performed last spring, but only

three of its cast have graduated, and two ofthem are coming back for the revival.Meanwhile the rest of the cast seem to havemellowed in their roles in what was alreadyour strongest. production to date. MuclhAdo is cast entirely from current students.It's always enjoyable to do Shakespeare,but especially exciting to be doing twoplays at once.

Romeo arnd Juliet has been a particularlyrewarding production to work on. It's noteasy to deal with the world's most famouslove story (and al! the clich6s that.implies), especially with Zeffirelli's movieversion in the background. The biggestproblem (which Zeffirelli didn't solve) is tofind a pair of actors young enough to lookright, and old enough to handleShakespeare's language. The ShakespeareEnsemble is lucky to h}'we 'found TomStefanick G and Dorian Jankowski '80 togive us the best of both; Each of them hasplayed romantic leads for the Ensemblebefore, and they're paired in our scenefrom Tennessee Williams's GlassAMetnagerie. When the're through, theywill have played Shakespeare's lovers 14times over 7 months.

92QEfS�

By Tom CgmisPut on your raccoon coat and dust off your pennant.-'Homecoming is tomorrow! Intercollegiate football is back at MIT

and the team is back in town for its only home game of the season.A few years ago, the thought of a homecoming football game was

sheer fantasy for most people. As late as 1976, Glenn Brownstein wrotein The Teah:

"At precisely 1:30 on a given football weekend, MIT's appointedgladiators, culled from the jock frats' and some of the more athleticdorm residents, would Jog onto the field in their cardinal and gray un-iforms, topped with the traditional toothy red Brass Rat' beaver on it,The marching band could be an enlarged, improved version of LchA'scurrent troupe that 'performs' at A-league football games.... OnHomecoming Day... the Ugliest Man on Campus (UMOC) rides intothe stadium on a chariot, wearing the 'Homecoming Qfeen' crown "

Brownstein's fantasy is now coming true. At 1:30 tomorrow, MIT'sclub football team will take the field in Steinbrenner Stadium in itsorange and white uniforms (a close approximation to cardinal andgray.) There will even be a marching band (although it will not march.)Regarding Brownstein's last comment, we all know what has been hap-penling this week....

The football club plans to put on a show for the fans. In its last fewgames, the offense has been opening up with more play action passes.Since th' Fitchburg game, the offense has continually piled up 200 ormore yards per game. The team has scored two touchdowns inl tbree ofits four games.

The defense has been steadily improving. If MIT should be leading atthe beginning of the fourth quarter, remember this: no team has scoredon the MIT defense since the opening game.

The homecoming foe is Sienna. College of New York, a fellowmemnber of the Colonial Football League. Sienna is 2-2 overall and 1-2in the league. MIT is 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the league. Earlier in theseason Sienna was ranked as one of the top 20 club football teams.MIT and Sienna met in a pre-season scrimmage which MIT appearedto do-minate. '

Sienna is more MIT's caliber than some of the other teamns theBeavers have played. Brooklyn College and Massachusetts Maritimewere both NCAA Division III schools.

If the weather is good, watching the homecoming football gamecould be an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon. So comne outand cheer for the team!

In the second half, JulieNeuringer '81 capitalized on afast break pass from Ozelius andbounced a shot off the PineManor goalie's foot and just bare-ly inside the net. Ozelius followedwith her second corner hit goal, aricochet off an opponent's stick.Seizing the opportunity ofanother fast break, Enora Kunice'80 slipped in the final score of theday.

Ozelius gave another fine per-tformance, scoring two goals andassisting on a third. Behlau alsocashed in twice, and Kunice, not astarter, came through with thefinal goal. Richardson madeperhaps fifteen saves, keeping hercool and clearing the ball amidstheavy traffic. While a substantialportion of the game was played inthe M IT end of the field, thedefense held strong and mnanagedto clear the ball. Moreover, theydid not waste any opportunitiesand scored on almost every shoton goal. Coach Deborah Cfumcommented that the team control-led the ball very well and did notpass it away.
