News Analvsis
By Darid B. KoretzIn June 1976, the Report of the
Committee to Evaluate theWriting Program was published.Known simply as the SivinReport. the 83-page book statedclearli and repeatedly. "Werecommend strongly that theWriting Program no longer bepart of the HumanitiesDepartment."
Last September. Harold J.Hanham. Dean of the School ofHumanities and S6,-ial Science,decided that the Writing Programwould remain in the HumanitiesDepartment. The decision w\asmade with the approval of Presi-dent Jerome Wiesner. ChancellorPaul Gray '54 and Provost W-aterRosen blith.
The administration thus movedin direct opposition to the reportof a Committee the5 hadpreviously valued very highly.The Committee contained profes-sors from MIT. Harvard Univer-sity and the University of Mas-sachusetts.
The Committee, chaired byHumanities Professor NathanSivin, stressed very strongly the
Lecturer Joseph Brown, one ofthe principal spokesmen for theWriting Program
members ti2t that it w.as necessarsto inform MNIFT President JeromeB. Wiesner that there are anumber of concerned facultymembers who feel that open dis-cussion of the Writing issue is es-sential.
Wiesner told The Tech thatalthough he was interested in the
-developing situation, he hadmade no commitment to anycourse of action.
Robinson learned of the con-trovers, when he received theWriting Program's positionpaper. "I knew nothing about it(the ProgramL" he'told The Techin a telephone interview, "but Ithought that some sort of dueprocess was being violated." Heexplained that he had spoken withothers xwho responded to what hedescribed as the Program's "cryfor help."
Wood said. "I like the WritingProgram in its present form .. .hapc faith in the people I knowover there who hai e beenteaching - I like w,,hat they'redoings"
WAood declared that he wouldlike to see it facult\ investigation
of the Writing Program con-tro,.ers,. "There seems to be such.t Ntrong misunderstanding of thisproblem that it seems that itshould he further investieated."he noted. adding that "it'\ theamnihiguit', of the situation thathothers me.

Sivin Report, om(munication vitalimportance of removing theWriting Program from the aegisof the Hutiminanities Department."We recommend that the WritingProgram be attached directl 3 toto the Office of the Dean." theReport stated.
Committee warrantedThe Report further proposed
that "direction and supervisionfor the immediate future [bel] by asniall Steering Committee oftenured professors from differentSchools of the Institute."
Hanham told The Tech that hisdecision was made because hecould not handle the increasedadministrative workload whichwould have resulted from placingthe Program directly under hiscontrol.
The reasons given by the SivinCommittee for Wanting theProgram placed out of theHumanities Department dealtmainlyv with concern that "it isunreasonable to expect theDepartment...to give strongand enthusiastic support to aprogram that is seeking tobecome an Institute-'.idefacility."
Director to be appointedOther aspects of the Sivin
Report have been ignored byHanham and the administration.The Committee recommendedthat, as the reorganization of theProgram progressed. the"Program and the Steering Com-mittee consider a tenured facultyappointment to provide achairman for the Program."
Hanham told The Tech lastweek that a committee to searchfor a permanent Program directoris underway. When pressed fornames of the com mittee members,
; Hanham's office admitted thatthe committee was "not fully.selected." This is almost a vear
? after the Sivin Report's recom-c mendation.

The New College PlanThe Neu Collee Plan has
never has been clearl'. explainedby the administration to an. onein the NIT communitn. It is ap-parentli a plan awaiting onlxfunding before it can begin to beimplemented as the Humanitiescurriculum at MiT. It i,, intendedto serve as a drawing card forMIT, one that will make the In-stitute's Humanities programcomparable to that at Har-.ardand other lI., League Schools.
However, the plan has threetimes requested from the ad-ministration the S15 million dol-lar., it needs, and three times theadministration hits failed to findthe necessar` fundinu.Meanwhile. the three professorshave offices on the second floor ofBuilding 20D until the projectgets underw.ax.
The problem that remains is thelack of communication within theSchool of Humanities and con-cerning the \\ riting Program inparticular. Any concrete plans fora ney. curriculum in Hurnanitieshave not been relayed to thefaculty in the Program. and surel.it affects them most directlx.
Last week, this lack of com-munication manifested itselfdramatically. Several members ofthe W\riting Program charged thatHanham and Daid Breakstone.Acting Director of the Program.lied when the\ told the Corpora-tion Visiting Committee on theHumanities on March 17 that the

Past UAP elections offbeatB. David B. Koretz
Tonmorrow's UA electionpromises to be one of the calmestin recent years. but not onlybecause of the lack of controver-sial platforms or candidates.
Last year. the UAP raceboasted some of the mostpolitically active students in re-cent hisTorv. Phil Moore -'77knot n for his Taiwan activismand bold dealings with the ad-ministration, edged out KatrinaWooton '77. noted for her posi-tion on FinBoard. The tally was621-507. with 35 percent turningout at the polls.
In 1975, the team of Jon Horn'77 and Tim Wilson '78 of thethursdarl staff q!uit the race witha week to go and threw their sup-port to Ken Bachman '75 andDominick Zito '76, who in turnpledged to share their positionsu ith their benefactors.
LDespite the team-up, Lee Allen'76 and Steve Shagoury '76triumphed easily, garnering 607votes to their <opponents' 439.Only 30 percent of the studentbody voted.

In 1974, election proceedingswere even more bizarre. The BobZimmerman '76/Larry Appleman'76 ticket was first excluded fornot having enough signatures,and then replaced on the ballotwhen the Registrar's Office notedthat the number of under-graduates was far less than thenumber used by the UA ElectionsCommittee to determine thenumber of signatures needed.
The night of the election, votefraud was charged when the Elec-tions Committee found 60 ballotsthat were "forged and stuffed."
Two weeks later. another electionwas held. this time going to SteveWallman '75 by a small marginover Dick Michel '75. However.only 17 percent of the un:dergraduates voted, a 500-persondrop from the original election.
The year before, when nearly50 percent of the electorateshowed up, Linda Tufts '74 waselected UAP, with the closestrunner-up Baker House. whichran as a collection entry. The finalmargin for Tufts was only 22votes.

Ofl lo ...Editorial
Writing ProgIn recent weeks we have seen the Writing
Program controversy explode into the newsagain with accusations of lying on both sides.
In the past year, Dean of the School ofHumanities Harold J. Hanham has madeseveral decisions concerning the program thathave been contrary to the Report of the Com-mittee to Evaluate the Pilot Writing Program,decisions which have sparked dissent on thepart of several Program members, and whichhave involved several top figures in the MITadministration.
The following actions have created muchcontroversy:
* David Breakstone was appointed ActingDirector of the Program after only one termteaching in the Program, and without evalua-tion.* Sanford Kaye and Joseph Brown claim tohave been subjected to evaluation proceduresthat were neither outlined nor explained tothem.* Hanham decided to keep the Program withinthe Department of Humanities, after meetingwith President Wiesner. Chancellor Gray andProvost Rosenblith. This action was againstthe primary recommendation of the SivinReport. Furthermore, the Program's staff, withone exception, claims not to have been told ofthe decision until several months later.* Writing and Experience was deniedHumanities distribution credit, also against the
study Uvgedrecommendation of the Sivin Report. Therewas also controversy surrounding the opera-tion of the Menand Committee which in-vestigated the subject; two professors from out-side the Program gave testimony to the Com-mittee, against established practice.
The facts will not be uncovered throughcharges and counter-charges. Accusations aremarring the reputations of faculty and ad-ministration alike, and in the meantime, theneeds of the students are being ignored. About750 students enrolled in Writing Program sub-jects last year. Yet the future of this-Program isnot clearly defined.
We feel that it is about time for the facts tobe made public. Therefore, we recommend thata complete and unreproachable investigationbe conducted into the circumstances of theWriting Program.
The investigation should be conducted by afaculty committee, appointed by PresidentWiesner and Chancellor Gray or by the facultyitself. The committee should see every relevantdocument and hear the testimony of everyperson involved. It should determine for theMIT community what has happened during thelast twelve months within the WritingProgram, the Department of Humanities, andthe School of Humanities and Social Science.
Only after an unbiased, in-depth investiga-tion such as this can the prospects for theWriting Program be decided. The MIT com-munity has been in the dark for too long.
Errors in U story allegedTo the Editor.'
The statement "The threereferenda, which [were] ... in-itiated by Geoff Baskir '78" issimply nor true. He had nothingto do with the one about theWriting Program (except that heand 600 others signed the peti-tions). That referenda resultedfrom a fine effort by the Commit-tee to Save the Writing Program.
Also. I am slightly upset at thegeneral message of the whole arti-cle, "No controversy in UA elec-tions." I may not care too muchabout the other issues but thewriting issue concerns many im-portant points:
1) Experimental teachingmethods at MIT.
2) Administrative procedures(or lack thereof).
3) Hiring and firing practices.4) The role of Humanities at
MIT.5) Students' roles in ad-
ministrative decisions.Please check your facts more
carefully so I won't have to read
thursday to get the story like it is.Ken Church
Af emnber, Comminiee to Savethe WIriting Program
David B. KoretZ. the author ofthe article to which Mr. Churchrefers, replies:
Let me first respond to the firstof Mr. Church's contentions.
Geoff Baskir, as far as I havebeen told by Tom Gindin of theElections Committee, authoredthe three referenda appearing onthe ballot Wednesday. As for theCommittee to Save the WritingProgram, I have my doubts thatanything effective-will ever comeout of that group.
I believe nothing has ever beenaccomplished by this group ofpeople, and nothing ever will be.In this particular case, there isnothing any group of studentsacting in a vacuum can do. I at-tended the first meeting of theCommittee, and was appalled atthe lack of understanding shown.by those trying to run the meeting
as to what is going on in theWriting Program and the Depart-ment and School of Humanities.
For the second point. you mis-understood me. Of course, the is-sues of'the 'Writing Program, theDepartment of Humanities, therole of Humanities, and the othermanifestations of recent eventsare very controversial.
If they were not controversial,they would not be splashed allover the front pages of The Techand thursday these many months.However, there is little or no con-troversy involved in the UA elec-tions, in that the vast majority ofundergraduates will vote for theresolution.
The controversy in the WritingProgram situation is not in theelection, but rather between stu-dents and the administration, andbetween the faculty and the ad-ministration. The resolution ofquestion three is not only non-controversial but non-effective, asI stated earlier.

Carter. missed pointof an energy policy
By William LasserJimmy Carter, that public relations expert who lives on Pennsylvania
Avenue, has missed the propaganda boat in his recently disclosedenergy proposals. The President, of all people, failed to realize thatchanging the attitudes of America's energy spendthrifts is at least as im-portant as changing America's energy policy.
America is running out of energy. That disclosure isn't really news toanybody, or at least it shouldn't be, but America does not appear readyto face the facts. Our oil and gas supplies are rapidly being depleted.Coal is at best a temporary answer. The nuclear industry is being at-tacked by environmentalists and is not prepared toaccept the energyburden. Solar, wind and other alternative forms of energy remain forthe most part in their experimental phases.
The only real answer to the nation's very real energy crisis is toreduce consumption. President Carter's plan seeks only to reduce thegrowth of energy consumption. The plan involves increased taxes ongasoline and gas-guzzling cars, both of which will take effect in 1980.But the tax on gas would be a mere ten cents a gallon; hardly enough todent the pocketbooks of the millions of Americans who drive big cars.
Carter's plan - regardless of the merits of its specific provisionsmisses the point. A better policy would have been one which utilized
some of the symbolic methods whichhave characterized the new administra-tion from the beginning. Carter shouldhave stressed the seriousness of the situa-tion; he might have even consideredrationing to underscore the severity of thecrisis.
Once the American people are awarethat the problem is an imminently seriousone, once they are convinced that it wastheir patriotic duty to conserve energy,the nation will have taken the first step in
the tough energy battle. The people reacted to calls for conservation ofmeat, vegetables, metal and clothing materials during the (albeit tem-porary) shortages of the Second World War. They would do just as wellin saving energy.
What we need is a complete change in our attitudes toward energyuse, and a strong PR campaign by the President would have been alogical move in that direction. Americans still think in terms of un-limited supplies; four years after the Arab oil embargo we have forgot-ten about the long lines at service stations, and we have become ac-customed to spending a great deal of money on gasoline fuel.
Even the bitter cold of this past winter has failed to make Americansbelieve that there really is an energy crisis. The oil companies have beenblamed again, as they were in 197.3, this time for alleged deliberatewithholding of natural gas supplies. Typical of American optimism, wewill forgetlast winter's crisis as we head into the warmer weather.
Carter plans to mandate insulation in new homes, to allow taxcredits for those who insulate old homes, to ban oil and gas for newelectric power plants, and to allow price increases for domestic oil andnatural gas. Only experts in energy policy - and there are many whothink of themselves as in that category - are qualified to discuss andchallenge the specific proposals. The plan to defer nuclear fuelreprocessing and support for conventional nuclear power plants willundoubtedly be the subject of much debate.
It is not the substance of the policy but the manner in which it waspresented to the American people which was a miscalculation onCarter's part. The people have a phenomenal way of responding to realor perceived enftrgencies; at the same time, however, Americans will bequite unwilling to participate in any program which they see as un-necessary, over-bureaucracized, discriminatory or counterproductive.
Perhaps it is a sad commentary on the American citizenry that we re-quire a crisis before we react in a positive manner. But that is the casewith the energy shortagel One would have expected from Carter apolicy full of rhetoric and Madison Avenue salesmanship. Instead, forbetter or worse, we have a real program, no frills attached. Now it's upto the experts.

A tJOB:How carrying outEqual Rights law
lay etffct youWho could quarrel with the right ofevery individual in America to anequal chance for a job? No one weknow. But when you look for a job,you should understand some thingsabout the equal rights regulations thatcould affect your chances.
Most large companies are deeplyinvolved in affirmative action pro-grams. These are plans and actionsdesigned to overcome discrimination.Statistics are the only evidence thatcounts. If a company's statistics don'tmeasure up. the company is presumedto disctiminate.
Some people think affirmativeaction programs discriminate againstthe majorityof Americans. But thatkind of talk doesn't solve any problems.Affirmative action is the law. Andit's here,
So if you're a woman or a memberof a recognized minority group. youstand a better chance than otherpeople of equal ability. Companiesare working to catch up, and that'sgood for you.
But when you look at a potentialemployer, we think you ought to dis-criminate a little, yourself. Ask sometough questions. Such as how a com-pany promotes people. Or how manyhigher-level women and minoritymembers they have. Chances arethere won't be too many-statistically.So you should demand some straight-forward answers about what a companyis trying to do about that.

Plain talk aboutEQUAL JOB RIGHTSSo far, there just aren't enough women.blacks or other minority members in ,
some fields. That's where the real opportunities often are. But you'renot likely to be hired as a chemicalengineer if your major was blackliterature or feminist history. If you'relooking for real opportunity. you shouldpolish your talent in a discipline thatis needed most by those who offer

The large stage itself is a challenge to anyset designer. expecially for a show likeGodspell. However, the original set byMichael Conner '79. an interestingamatlgamn of wooden crates and netsrepresentative of a dock. works extremelywell. It makes the stage space much smtallerand provides many levels for the actors.
The costume designs by Ellen Mason areclever. colorful. and true to the originalproduction. The lighting by John Q. Peers'73 is similarlyv effective.
"W\hen Sharon (the choreographer) andI first sat-down to plan out what we wantedthe show to be like." said the director. "wecreated what we thought would be an idealproduction of Godspell.

By Claudia PerryJoan Armatrading, Pablo Cruise and El-
liott Murphy played to a near sold-outcrow&-Saturday at the Orpheum in whatmight have been the best mixture of artiststo grace the city for a long time. Both Ar-matrading and Pablo Cruise are enjoying asurge of popularity with the release of theirthird albums.
Elliot Murphy, the opening act, is thelatest in a long line of Springsteen retreads.Affecting the New Jersey phenom's strect-poet stance, he sang a few songs that wereinterspersed with comments about the lackof functional Monitors and the lousy PAsystem. In most cases the comments weremore interesting than the songs.
The sound system was revived in time forPablo Cruise to take the stage. Scorchingthrough an hour-long set, the groupshowed an exuberance that is not asnoticeable in their recorded work. Leadsinger/bassist Bud Cockrell said in an in-terview earlier Saturday that the group
pushes to do their best in the studio. Thiscould be one reason that their albums aretechnically proficient but rather distant.They are too busy working to loosen up.
The membe s of Pablo Cruise come froma number of diverse backgrounds.Guitarist David Jenkins worked with RonNagle, whose album, Bad Rice, can befound in cutout bins all over the country.Nagle assisted with the ensemble's secondalbum, Lifeline. Jenkins told The Tech thathe was incredibly nervous about recordingthe group's first album. Their producer onthat venture, Michael Jackson, is a manJenkins respects, although he is no longerwith them.
Cory Lerios, the pianist, writes most ofthe band's material. A former member ofStoneground, a group which enjoyed morepopularity in England than in the States,Lerios is the most traveled member of thegroup. He has toured the US twice andEngland several times. Lerios is an excel-lent keyboard stylist. His solo during"Ocean Breeze" was one of the highlightsof the evening.
Bassist Bud Cockrell is the mostanimated member of Pablo Cruise. Hecomes across like a small child let loose in atoy store. Cockrell seems to be genuinelyglad to be onstage. His joy is conveyedthrough his music.
Joan Armatrading's part of the evening-did little but confirm the existence of herprodigious talent. A first-rate singer andguitarist, she projects an incredible amountof stage presence. Unlike most female per-formers, Joan does not exploit herfemininity by remaining ethereal andremoved from the audience or by swagger-ing and boasting like the worst male per-formers. Instead, she chooses to be herself,an appealing woman who has had roughspots in her life but has gotten over them.
The majority of Armatrading's perfor-mance consisted of cuts from her currentrelease, entitled Joan Armatrading. She alsoplayed some material form her first twoalbums. On the first chorus of "People,"one of her more well-known songs, bassistPat Donaldson sang the second chorus in-
| stead of the first. Joan stopped the band,pointed at Donaldson, smiled, andOmotioned for them to begin again.
Both Armatrading and Pablo Cruise are
8a-0
1.>c
Bud Cockrell and David Jenkins of Pablo Cruiseon A & M records. Each has received more
than the usual amount of attention thislabel gives to acts. There is good reason forthis. Pablo Cruise is a very commercialband which seems to have all the in-gredients necessary for success. The com-bination of Bud Cockrell's exuberance,Cory Lerios' adroit piano work, DavidJenkin's impeccable guitar playing and
Stephen Price's supportive drumming is in-comparable. Joan Armatrading is finallygetting the recognition she merits. Her firsttwo albums probably offer a stronger bodyof work than her current release, which isgood but not quite as tight as its predeces-sors. After Saturday's performance, bothsihe and Pablo Cruise may have found theirplaces in the sun.

Amherst sandwiched a RogerRenshav '77 goal with two scoresearl, in the third quarter to leadby Five. but the Beavers scoredthree goals in a 90-second span, aburst that seemed to awaken theteam and change the game'smomentum.
Scott Tunis rebuilt Amherst'slead to three . ith a quickstick justbefore the quarter ended, and thatproved to be the winning tally asMI IT scored but twice on-Amherstnetminder Bill Beford in the finalperiod.
The last goal came with 40 sec-onds left, on a narrow-angle shotby Gordie Zuerndorfer '78.Although MIT won the faceoffand got two good shots on Bed-ford. the Beavers were held off bvBedford's hot stick.
