By Andrew BeinDemocratic presidential candi-

date Walter F. Mondale spoke be-fore a crowd of almost 90,000Friday afternoon on the BostonCommon.

Shouts of "We want Fritz" and"Four more days" greeted theformer vice president, when heappeared, 48 minutes late.

Rain clouds threatenedthroughout, but only a brief driz-zle intervened, as many specta-tors attached Mondale/Ferrarosigns to their umbrellas.

"There's a smell of victory inthe air," Mondale said. He dis-missed his poor standings in thepolls. "Polls don't vote, peopledo," he said to cheers.

Mondale's speech focused ontaxation and nuclear arms con-trol, the campaign issues onwhich he and President Keagandiffer most. Mondale stressedwhat he claims is Reagan's ten-dency to favor the rich: '"Middleand moderate-income Americansdeserve some help, some protec-tion."

"One of the most appalling

SCC eleets

qualities of this administration isthat you never hear the word jus-tice," Mondale said, "you neverhear the word caring or compas-sion."

"When you're in trouble,you're taught you're on yourown," he continued. "If you'reunemployed, it's too bad. Ifyou're old, it's tough luck. Ifyou're sick, good luck. If you'reblack or Hispanic, you're out ofluck. And if you're handicapped,you shouldn't be."

"I don't believe in that a minu-te," Mondale said to his applaud-ing supporters. "I think thisAmerica has a human dimension.I don't think we're alone. I thinkwe're together."

Mondale marred his speechnear its close when the crowd in-terrupted him with a flurry ofcheers. "We've got to get thisover with," he responded, "I'vegotta be in Wilkes-Barre." Wil-kes-Barre, Pa. was the candida-te's next stop.

Voters in Massachusetts and 32other states today will likely nar-row the ten-seat margin Republi-cans hold over Democrats in theUS Senate, but not take away theRepublicans' majority.

The Republicans have 19 Sen-ate seats up for election; theDemocrats have 14 seats up. Re-publican incumbents are runningfor re-election in 17 states; theDemocrats have 12 incumbentsrunning again.

Five Republican and oneDemocratic incumbents facehighly contested races, as do can-didates for the four open seats.

The Massachusetts race pro-vides the sharpest distinctions be-tween any pair of candidates.Democratic Lt. Gov. John Kerry,representing the ideals and poli-cies of the New Left, holds acomfortable lead over Republicanbusinessman Raymond Shamie,representing those of the NewRight.

Gov:John F. Kerry, and Gov. MichaelS. Dukakis spoke at the rally.Tsongas made a pitch for his par-ty's candidate for the Senate seathe is retiring from. "Do me a fa-vor," he said. "Let's elect JohnKerry by a wide margin."

Kennedy criticized the presi-dent saying, "Ronald WilsonReagan has no right to quoteJohn Fitzgerald Kennedy," apoint often echoed later.

Gov. Michael S. Dukakis calledthe event "the biggest politicalrally we've had in this city in mylifetime."

"Mondale will carry this state,and the country," Dukakis add-ed.

(Continued from page 1)Hunt's chances, in the most ex-

pensive senate race, depend onthe black vote. The larger Presi-dent Ronald Reagan's margin ofvictory, the more likely Helmswill return to the Senate.

The Republican right wing isactually against Sen. Charles Per-cy, R-lll. Polls rate Rep. Paul Si-mon, D-Il., even with Percy.

Conservatives have targeted themoderate, three-term incumbentfor defeat because Helms, if re-elected, would assume the chairof the Senate Foreign RelationsCommittee. Helms in that posi-tion would aid consevativecauses, they believe, more thanthe loss of Percy's usually pro-ad-ministration vote would hurt.

Indiscretions by Sen. RogerJepsen, R-Iowa, have helpedmake his race with Rep. TomHarkin, D-lowa, a toss-up. Jep-sen's membership in a club thatcatered to swingers, his persis-tance in driving alone in car-poolonly lanes and frequent reversalson major issues have worn thepatience of his constituency.

Reagan's coat-tails will haveless affect in Iowa than in NorthCarolina. Disgust with Jepsenmay even hurt the president, giv-ing Mondale a reverse coat-taileffect in the state.

The race between Sen. GordonHumphrey, R-N.H., and Rep.Norman D'Amours, D-N.H.,though sometimes bitter, hasstuck more to the issues than theKerry-Shamie ideological race.Humphrey began his first term in1979 as a staunch supporter ofconservative causes. He has mo-derated his stances since, causingD'Amours to charge Humphreywith dissembling for the electionyear.

Humphrey has, like other con-servatives, tried to tie his oppo-nent to Mondale and liberal poli-cies. D'Amours' chances inRepublican New Hampshire restwith ticket-splitters and votersfrom his old House districtdownstate_

Sen. Walter Huddleston ofKentucky is the only incumbentDemocrat facing a serious chal-lenge. Huddleston's opponent,Jefferson County Judge MitchMcConnell, has been the state'smost successful Republican vote-getter, according to the NationalJournal.

Editorial

DoAnt punt the mostcritical hour exam

All of you who are registered to vote in Massachusettsshould take an hour off today and cast your ballots. It could bethe most constructive thing you do all term.

President Ronald Reagan -and former Vice-President WalterMondale take different stands on many of the campaign's ma-jor issues, although the gap between their viewpoints has nar-rowed over the course of the campaign.

Some of the major issues of the campaign and the candida-tes' current stands on each follow:

Foreign interventionReagan supports an increase in US military aid to El Salva-

dor and to anti-Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua.Mondale supports negotiated solutions to the various armed

disputes in Central America, while he recognizes military mea-sures may be required.

Detente and international relationsReagan has taken a hard line against the Soviet Union, say-

ing that the United States will no longer be pushed around inarms negotiations. He has expressed willingness to participatein Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, although he opposes a nu-clear arms freeze on the grounds that such a freeze is unverifi-able.

Mondale supports a mutual, verifiable strategic nuclear armsfreeze. He also favors the resubmission of the SALT II agree-ment to the Senate for ratification. He also favors annual US-USSR summit meetings.

National defenseReagan favors continuing the military buildup he started

four years ago. He will push for continued real increases ofabout 7 to 8 percent annually in military spending to allow theUS to negotiate any arms agreements from a position ofstrength. He also supports development and deployment of theMX missile and of the B-1 bomber to replace the aging fleet ofB-52's. Reagan has proposed development of a space-based,high-technology anti ballistic missile defense system - labelledthe "Star Wars" plan by the press - and the sharing of anysuch technology with the Soviets.

Mondale would decrease the growth in defense spending to areal annual rate of 3 to 4 percent, stating that present DefenseDepartment spending policies are wasteful. He opposes the"Star Wars" proposal and proposes cancellation of both theMX missile and B-1 bomber programs. He favors a slowed ex-pansion of the Navy, although he would continue the Trident IImissile program.

Social servicesReagan says he will neither raise Social Security taxes nor cut

benefits.Mondale pledges no cuts to Social Security and supports the

measures adopted by Congress in 1983 to guarantee the pro-gram's solvency. He also favors adjusting benefits for inflation.He proposes a program to limit rising Medicaid and Medicarecosts.

Taxes and the balanced budgetReagan opposes raising taxes and supports a constitutional

amendment to require a balanced budget.Mondale would restore $30 billion of Reagan's cuts to the

domestic budget. He also proposes an indexed tax increase,having a greater affect on people with higher incomes, to re-duce the federal deficit.

LeadershipReagan invokes the image of a weak Carter administration

when discussing Mondale's leadership qualities, saying that anadministration under Mondale would be no better.

Mondale claims Reagan is out of touch with the nation andthe rest of the world and does not have a good grasp of thecomplex issues facing the leader of the United States.

Last in a series"I have the most conclusive

evidence that arms and munitionsin large quantities . . . have beenshipped to the revolutionists. TheUnited States cannot fail to viewwith deep concern any seriousthreat to stability and constitu-tional government . . . jeopardiz-ing American interests, especiallyif such a state of affairs is con-tributed to or brought about byoutside influence or a foreignpower."

So spoke the president of theUnited States, justifying his poli-cy of intervention in Nicaragua.

The year was 1927. The presi-dent was Calvin Coolidge. Andthe "outside influence" was al-ledged "Mexican bolshevism."

The US Marines, for the sec-ond time this century, were begin-ning a full-scale occupation ofNicaragua, this time to supressAugusto Cesar Sandino's "revo-lutionist" peasant army - theoriginal Sandinistas.

The Marines stayed for sixyears and conducted a brutal waragainst Nicaragua's peasants.When they left, Anastasio So-moza was put in charge of thenewly trained Nicaraguan Na-tional Guard, which became thebloody instrument of a regimethat was to acquire the worst hu-man rights record in CentralAmerica.

Fifty years later, the year is1984 and it's Ronald Reagan'sturn. After decades of lookingthe other way - when the Nica-raguan leader was our boy - theUS government under Reagan is

Saleska

suddenly paying attention to de-mocracy and human rights inNicaragua - now that the newleaders no longer have as theirnumber one priority the econom-ic interests of the United States.

In order to show his concernfor democracy, Reagan is spon-soring yet another war againstNicaragua. His policy not onlyviolates international law (miningof international waters), but USlaw as well, most notably theNeutrality Act and the Bolandamendment.

According to a report issuedby a bipartisan congressionalstudy group, the Reagan Admin-istration may have violated asmany as 21 seperate Acts of Con-gress in pursuit of its goals inCentral America.

Like Coolidge, Reagan justifies

his lawless behavior with anotherparanoid scare-story - only Rea-gan's involves Soviet communistexpansionism. According to thepresident's scenario, communist-totalitarian Nicaragua (on theend of puppet strings pulled byCuba and the Soviet Union) isexporting its revolution to El Sal-vador, which is "struggling to-wards democracy."

The administration has madethis argument, outlined in the so-called Sante Fe group paper, thelynchpin of its policy in CentralAmerica. The poverty and exploi-tation of the region are discount-ed as insignificant, and the indig-enous character of theSalvadoran civil war is denied.

Yet, after three years of waging"'covert" war, the administration

Column/Joseph L. ShipmanDon't say I didn't sayso, but if Reagan wins:

I'm telling you so.If Ronald Reagan is re-elected,

the United States will escalate itscovert war in Nicaragua to anovert one.

As a warm-up, there may beanother Grenada-style grown-man-beating-up-a-child "victory"in a small country, possibly Suri-nam. Some draftees may die inCentral America as US troops.

As in Reagan's first term, therewill be no progress in arms con-trol. More missiles will be placed

in Europe. The American armsbuildup will accelerate, and theSoviet Union will step up its ownin response.

Right-wing dictatorships inCentral and South America willcrack down and crush the opendemocratic opposition to their re-gimes, leaving only guerrillas andCommunist sympathizers. TheUS government will do little tostop the oppression and will pro-vide the dictators with arms and

That wouldbe all right by Mondale, with hisattitudes of anti-militarism andCommunist appeasement, but itwould be a mortal blow to theFree World.

Four years ago there was acampaign commercial -I can'tremember for which party -which started out: "You knowwho the candidates are for presi-dent. But have you thought aboutwho is running for vice presi-dent?" It's true that inl recentyears a lot of vice presidents havebecome presidents.

Former AssistantDean for Student Affairs MaryHope and my mother come tomind, among about a thousandothers.

After the vice-presidential "de-bate" on national television, I'mpositive Ferraro doesn't have aclear grasp on a lot of issues ofnational importance. She hascome across as overly concernedabout appearences over thecourse of the campaign. Perhapsthis is because the Mondale-Fer-raro campaign has been overlyconcerned about their party's im-age and how their personal ap-pearences reflect it.

havior Is at its best wnen it is en-gaged in full-scale war, not eventhe United States, Yet even undersuch conditions, Nicaragua has arecord far better than El Salva-dor, Guatamala, Honduras,Paraguay, or Chile, all nationswith extremely cozy relationswith the Reagan administration.

Reagan's hypocritical and de-ceptive policy can only plungethe Sandinistas deeper into warhysteria, perhaps destroying whathopes remain for pluralism anddemocracy in Nicaragua. Itcauses US criticism of Soviet in-trusion into regions where theyare involved to lose credibility.

.Worst, more people will die onall sides in Central America asReagan's terrorist war escalates,and chances for a lasting peacewill diminish as the vicious cycleof violence, repression, and tor-ture spirals on.

A vote for Reagan today is avote to add another tragic chap-ter to Central America's historybooks.

Iprogress.In Nicaragua, over the last five

years, perhaps 200 persons havebeen kidnapped or killed by gov-ernment forces. Amnesty Inter-national has reported beatings ofMisquito Indians.

During the same time in El Sal-vador, however, over 42,000 civil-ians have perished at the handsof right-wing death squads andgovernment security forces. Over3,000 more have "disappeared."

"Night and day"? One beginsto wonder what Bush means bythese words. Is this administra-tion ignorant of the facts? Or, asAnthony Lewis asks in a recentcolumn, "was Bush's show of in-dignant sincerity just a show?Which is worse?"

Yes, the Sandinistan humanrights record is not ideal. Butthings must be considered in con-text. Nicaragua is a tiny nation isbeing militarily attacked and vi-ciously slandered by the mostpowerful nation on earth, a na-tion that has already twice invad-ed it.

cannot give evidence for anymore than a trickle of aid. For-mer Central American CIA ana-lyst David MacMichael has esti-mated that perhaps three percentof the Salvadoran rebels' suppliescome through Nicaragua, hardlyenough to be the "lifeblood" ofthe insurgency that Reaganclaims it to be. Such claims loseall credibility when one realizesthat the Salvadoran civil war ismany years older than the cur-rent Sandinista government.

Incidental to Reagan's main re-volution-export argument againstNicaragua - but central tomaintaining support for his dirtypolicies - is the attempt to por-tray the Sandinistas as evil com-munist villains. George Bush, inthe vice presidential debate, saidNicaragua and El Salvador are asdifferent as "night and day." Let'sreview the record:

Administration officials pointto Nicaragua's sporadic censor-ship of the opposition newspaperLa Prensa as evidence of de-scending totalitarianism.

El Salvador no longer even hasan opposition press. Oppositionjournalists there are not censored- they are murdered. The Rea-gan administration does not con-sider this totalitarianism, but"struggle towards democracy."

Xn Nicaragua, the Sandinistasbehave badly towards the Pope,and expel foreign priests. TheReagan people accuse the Sandin-istas of "religious persecution."

In El Salvador, AmericanCatholic nuns are murdered, andan archbishop is assassinated.Reagan certifies human rights

Ferraro% notqualified

(Conatmued from page 6)And Ferraro doesn't have

much experience on the nationalscene, other than her six years inCongress. Six years as a represen-tative does not really prepare onefor the executive responsibilitiesof the Presidency. At least Rea-gan and Jimmny Carter were stategoverners.

MIT students have as much atstake in this election as anybody.If Reagan wins, a lot of studentsmight get drafted, because of hisforeign policies. But if Mondalewins, a lot of students might getnuked, because of his policies ofnuclear appeasement and weak-ness. So we'll be experiencing adifferent kind of tension than wenow expect when the results comein tonight and a winner is fore-cast with only one percent of thevotes counted. I think a lot ofpeople are in for a surprise.

CameratainterestingThe Boston Camerata, Sanders Theatre,Oct. 21.

The Boston Camerata opened its 30thanniversary season with War and Peace, aconcert of Renaissance and Baroque mu-sic. When I entered, there were two peopleon stage singing Robert Morton'sL'Homme Arm& to the accompaniment ofa small portable electronic keyboard. Iwas a bit surprised at the anachronism,but the duet was quite well performed.The rest of the concert was done withmore ancient-looking instruments, such asrecorders, shawms, and lutes.

Section I of the concert closed with theentire company on stage for HeinrichSchuetz's setting of Psalm Two, WarurnToben die Heiden. The performers flowedinto section II, La Battaglia, a collectionof martial music. The soprano soloist is tobe complimented for her performance ofAltri canti d'amor; it came out clearly andpowerfully. The next piece, A Soldier'sResolution, had the the viola da gambaplaying solo. The gamba described phasesof battle, from the trumpets on the field tothe march back. In the skillful hands of aCamerata player, a viol can quite effective-ly give the impression of a number ofhorns.

The third section, Absalom, Absalom-,dealt with a result of war - the death ofloved ones. Three works comprised thissection: The Burying of the Dead, by Wil-liam Byrd; Triste estava el rey David, byAlonso Mudarra; and Fill mi, Absalom byHeinrich Schuetz. Of these three, Fili mi,Absalom, was most strikingly done. Thesoloist expressed the sorrow of King Davidon learning of his son's death very mov-ingly. The audience responded to the firsthalf of the concert with a standing ova-tion.

The English Concert, Nov. 3, Sanders The-atre.

The English Concert concert at SandersTheatre Saturday night shone from firstnote to last: it is inconceivable that Bostoncould see a finer performance this year.The proceedings began with Vivaldi's Sin-fonia in G. The pace of the allegro moltogave the first movement a brilliance thatwas to characterize the whole concert; theandante was marked by the humor ofplucking on cello and bass and the magicviolin solo of Simon Standage and Mi-chaela Comberti; and the wit and verve ofthe concluding allegro pointed to a virtuo-

The adagio grabbed the mental senses,yet contained the essence of humanity.Pinnock's solo work in the last movementwas as intricate as it was powerful; the un-usual surrounding ambience in the orches-tra created by an immaculate sense of bal-ance took the work from thequintessentially human to the uniquely di-vine.

Elation is the only word to describe thefeeling transmitted as the Concertlaunched into their joyous rendition ofHandel's Concerto Grosso in B-jiat, Op. 3,No. 2. The interplay of cello and oboe inthe Largo was especially compelling, thesadness and profundity of carefully modu-lated oboe warmed by the easy line of cel-los.

The beauty of the final movement, com-bining a rhythmic bounce in the stringswith a racy oboe solo, brought the work toa sunny and stunning conclusion.

An airy performance of Purcell's Cha-cony opened the second part of the con-cert and was followed by a full and satis-fying account of Bach's Suite No. I in C.Strings were ever smooth and elegant; Pin-nock's harpsichord was eloquent. Theoboes enchanted, bassoon bubbled. Therapturous standing ovation which greetedthe finale was rewarded with an encore -of the first movement from Boyce's Sym-phony No. 1 - effervescent and joyous tothe end.

The Melos String Quartet performancein Kresge Auditorium on Friday night wasdisappointing. Although they demonstrat-ed a high standard of technical proficiency,the quartet seemed to play the notes butnot the music. Although there were someintellectually pleasing moments - espe-cially in the second piece, Beethoven'sQuartet in E flat, Op. 127 - there was alack of warmth throughout the programwhich made the technical virtuosity empty.

sity and style that was totally pleasuarableand utterly Vivaldi.

Director Trevor Pinnock 'played-.solo-inBach's Harpsichord Concerto in D minor.At Pinnock's hands, tension gradually in-creased during the opening allegro, hisdiamond-sharp harpsichord playing weav-ing through a velvet of embracing strings:the movement's cadenza was particularlyintense and inward-looking; and just asthe listener's brains were about to besnmashed to smithereens, the pressure wasresolved by an orchestra effortlessly re-en-tering to buoy the harpsichord to move-ment's conclusion.

A pushy, loud Ethel Merman, a repug-nant Annie belting out "Redundant, re-dundant, this song is redundant" to thetune of "Tomorrow," and an-obeseScrearngirl (i.e. Dreamgirl) claiming thather "thighs have gone condo" are high-lights of the evening. However, it must benoted that some of the slights against ac-tors and actresses (a staple of the show)might go over your head, and at $14 - $17per ticket, this weakness may leave youfeeling unsatisfied at show's end. Lack ofbackground information was a problemfor all six of the college reviewers presentthe night of this performance. Even so,this show may be for you if you enjoy anoccasional touch of the arts.

You own a sweater, skirt/slacks andknow Broadway like the insides of yourGucci shoes: All of the above holds true,with the exception that even the most re-cent and ancient references will makesense. Many imitations aren't exact recrea-tions, but rely more on subtly-worded ton-gue-in-eheek delineations and brevity (ablessing for both the sophisticate and thenovice) to make a point and create laugh-ter. Ms. Lupone, the original Evita, claim-ing that "for me one year was enough"and a rough version of a glittery, sub-bari-tone Lauren B~acall are typical. -If you aretruly a native with regard to theatrical-ex-perience, you will agree with the seasonedaudience and Newsweek ("Mercilessly fun-ny! ") that Forbidden Broadway is wellworth the ticket price, and a refreshingchange from the large, impersonal perfor-mances of Broadway itself.

You don't own a sweater or skirt/slacks:,ForF goodness' sake, buy some clothes. Anexperience like popping into the posh Bos-ton Park Plaza Hotel (where such an outfitis the minimum requisite level of formal-ity) in a fancy Boston neighborhood is anessential change from the mundane rigorsof MIT. If you are willing to brave the $14minimum ticket price, a lively perfor-mance of Forbidden Broadway is just thething.

Scott Licbtman

Forbidden Broadway, a 1 12 hour musi-caf revue, will run through early spring atthe Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Containshearty laughter, inside jokes, four freshthespians and brief lewdity. Rated TG(Theatrical Guidance strongly suggested).For more information contact the box of-fice at 357-8384.

Forbidden Broadway, a live comedy re-vue that has recently migrated from theBig Apple, is highly witty to say the least,but isn't for everyone. Consequently, thisreview is custom tailored to the reader'ssituation. Just answer the following ques-tions: 1) Do you own a sweater and skirt/slacks? 2) Are you fairly well versed on thegossip and onstage happenings of Broad-way? 3) Do the only things that you knowabout theatre include the first words toAnnie's "Tomorrow" chorus, the fact thatA Chorus Line is still running and thatBroadway Is a long street in New YorkCity?- Please read on:

You own a sweater, skirt/llacks butcouldn't differentiate Broadway from ParkAvenue: Forbidden Broadway's atmo-sphere and experience is exemplified by thegrand piano and diminutive neon sign fee-bly declaring the show's title. The fine per-formances and cozy venue are major rea-sons that this show is persistentlyengaging. Two actors, two actresses andpianist use their abundant vitality andfreshness (one is a recent Dartmouth grad-uate; another from Boston Conservatory)to perform for each member of the audi-ence, not at the collective mass. For exam-ple, the show opens in a mock waiter-wait-ress argument within the lounge thatbecomes suspiciously played out and cli-maxes into the song "Glad I Don't ActAnymore." Because of the energy put intoeach two-minute satire, these little gags donot become jaded as the evening wears on.

You do not have to have seen Amadeusto smirk at the convincingly condescend-ing, high-brow enunciating of "If you likedresses that are splassy. .. see the showthat makes Mozart look trashy." In gener-al, the more blatant the imitation, the fdin-nier it is for all.

Four performers spoof popular characters in Forbidden Broadway.

Well-done prwamg-andaLa Ultima Banana En Managua (The LastBanana in Managua), conceived and per-formed by David Perrigo, directed byDowning Cless, Thursday, Friday and Sat-urday through Nov. 17 at 8 prm; admission$5; 53 Berkley St., (Local 26); 247-1577.

This is the best piece of propaganda Ihave ever seen. The show makes for effec-tive propaganda because it is compellingdrama and well-produced; the novel for-mat grabs the theater-goer, who can't helpbeing ensnared by the super-charged ide-ology.

La Ultima Banana En Managua is per-formed in English by David Perrigo alone,but with lots of technical support. Perrigoplays a fumbling CIA agent who has beensent down to Nicaragua to infiltrate thenative community as an American tourist.He is supposed to find out why the Ameri-can-sponsored "Freedom Fighters" havebeen having such a hard time winningback the country. He tours around Nicara-gua and stays with a Sandanistan family inManagua. The play recounts a series of in-cidents and adventures that happen to himwhile he is in the country.

I last saw David Perrigo in DowningCless's production of We Won't Pay We

Won't Pay. In that production too, Perrigoplayed many roles. Since then, Perrigo hasrefined his art to the point where he can beseveral people on the stage at the sametime.

But the technical assistance is indispen-sible to the success of the performance:slides, voices, light changes, more slides:all combine to give the viewer the impres-sion that the stage is filled with many char-acters, not one lone actor. The net effect isthat of quality drama which does not re-flect the low budget of this production.

What makes the play effective as a pro-paganda tool is the supporting evidencewhich is presented hand-in-hand with thedialogue. The 'scenery" for the play con-sists of a large collection of slides fromNicaragua; basically, Perrigo performs infront of a slide show. The slides take theaudience down to Managua with Perrigo,and translate his words into the "reality"we are supposed to see. Perrigo, as a 16-year-old Sandanista, says that' the peoplewere unhappy under Somosa, but are nowcontent and lead fulfilled lives. A slide ofsmiling children meanwhile convenientlyappears on screen.

ti's pondering on the issue of eternal life:'[Death] is the ultimate symbol of failure:the man who fails on a grand scale conm-forts himself with the thought that therecan be further failure, and he reaches forthe huge dark cloak that covers everythingevenly. Yet if death didn't exist, no mancould ever fail at anything; every new ef-fort would make up for weaknesses, inad-equacies, and sins. Unlimited time wouldinspire unlimited courage."

Canetti, who lived through WWII, per-haps did not consider a Hitler or Stalinwho could live forever. Canetti perhapsdid not consider the effect of eternal lifeon ambition when there would be a mil-lion tomorrows to achieve what was notachieved today. As for courage, timiditywould rule when any action could possibly

This play is one of those depressingpost-WWII products of an Eastern Euro-pean mind. Imagine if you will a societywhere anyone's name is the age at whichhe will die; everyone knows the age of aperson's death but never knows his age.Enter the rebellious Mr. Fifty; and sit backfor something that is reminiscent of a two-hour Mondale campaign commercial onthe nuclear arms race, only not as cheery.

For those of you who have, up to now,been spared exposure to the works of EliasCanetti, the producer thoughtlessly includ-ed in the playbill excerpts from Canetti'swritings; for example, "Proof is the he-reditary misfortune of thinking." Charitydictates that one assume this bon mot suf-fered in translation from the original Bul-garian.

More appropriate to this play is Canet-

leave one a quadraplegic for the rest ofeternity.

The Deadlined is concerned - no, pre-occupied - with knowing the moment.All but one character are obsessed withwhen they will die rather than with howthey will live. This is alleged to produce ahealthier society as people can plan theirlives from the start, at the cost of knowinghow many days are left.

I assume that Canetti is trying to exposethis silly human obsession with death.Having been spared a healthy dose ofEastern European fatalism in my earlychildhood, the need to expose this obses-sion escapes me.

In all fairness to the actors, director,and staff, this was a well-produced andwell-acted play. It is just plain depressing.

James F. Kirk

The Deadlined, by Elias Canetti, playingWed. through Sat. through Nov. 17 at 8

pm; at The Dinosaur Space, 10 West St.;admission $5-$8.

Are you into depression? Are you con-stantly obsessed with the thought of death- your own or others'? Would your lifebe easier if you knew when you were goingto die? Can you sing "Death, death,death, death. . ." to the tune that MontyPython uses for their '"Spam, spam, spam,spam. . ." skit? Then you would probablyenjoy The Deadlined.

As for me, I spent idle moments duringthis play contemplating means for aveng-ing myself on my arts editor. "Jim, howwould you like to review a play for me?',he says. "I think it's\ a murder mystery.",he says. Wrong.

Dear Ms Williams:

Congratulations are to be externded to you and your staff for the excellent re-sults of the Corporate Travel System' recent Low Fare Tariff performed forTbpaz Travel and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This Tariff was thefirst 'perfect' or 'error free' audit that we have ever performed for a client.

The fact that your agency ws able to provide the lowest possible fare, in everygiven situation, for the audit period is, at the very least, commendable.

If every agency could offer that kind of service, backed by an unbiased Corpor-ate Travel Systems Low Fare Tariff, millions of dollars would be saved by justair travelers alone every year.

Again, my deepest congratulational

In another course, she said,she told a teaching assistant shehad class notes from a previousterm. The teaching assistant re-plied, "Oh, you got the notesfrom the last black person whotook the course."

One student said he had toshow his identification card tothe East Campus desk to sign outathletic supplies and asserted thatnon-minority students were notrequired to. Another student atthe meeting disagreed, saying allstudents were required to presenttheir ID's to the East Campusdesk when taking out equipment.

A number of the students ex-pressed frustration at having todo better just to be regarded asequal because they were womenor minority students.

One student cited two reasonsfor the greater test anxiety mi-nority students feel at MIT. Shesaid the pressure of being blackwas one cause, and further pres-sure can come from being theonly minority in a class. "How isone expected to work at one's op-timum under those conditions?"she asked.

A number of students com-plained that -there was a wide-spread belief that minorities andwomen are admitted preferential-ly. "I believed it when I first gothere" said one woman student,who said the truth of the mattershould be more publicized.

Another student said there was"nothing to lose, but not toomuch to gain" from such public-ity. "One piece of paper won'tchange 21 years of misconcep-tions," he claimed.

La Ultima Banana En Mana-

gua is based on Perrigo's recent

trip to Nicaragua, and the play is

to benefit the Central American

Referendum Campaign, an orga-

nization that is trying to get the

United States out of Central

America with a non-binding

question on today's election bal-

lot. It is a dramatically charged

play about a very politically

charged question.

La U/tima Banana showed me

a side of the Nicaraguan conflict

that I had never been exposed to

before. But politics aside, it is a

very moving presentation and

well worth the three block walk

from the Arlington stop on the

Green line. You don't have to be

a Communist sympathizer to en-

joy this production.

Ultima (in the last hour before

world's end), began. This section

included Semper Dowland

Semper Dolens by John Dow-land, Quivi Sospiri by Luzzasco

Luzzaschi, In Hora Ultima by

Roland de Lassus, and a Kyrie

Eleison from the medieval peri-

od. The first three pieces ex-

pressed despair for the fate of the

world. For the Kyrie, the Har-

vard-Radcliffe Collegium Musi-

cum added to the ethereal effect

by joining in from the choir

lofts.

The prayer for mnercy led to a

change in theme from war to

peace. The concluding section,

entitled Peace in Our Time?, be-

gan with a contrastingly cheerful

setting of psalm 133 by Claude

Goudimel. Following this was

Verleih uns Frieden, a prayer for

peace by Heinrich Schuetz. An

arrangement of the Kaddish by

Salamone Rossi intrigued the lis-

tener with a combination of sol-

emnity and rhythm. The concert

ended well with another work by

Heinrich Schuetz, Es ging ein

Saemann aus, for which the Har-

vard-Radcliffe Collegiurn Musi-

cum again assisted by adding

power to the chorus, "He that

hath ears to hear, let him hear!"

All in all, the afternoon was a

fascinating one. I felt as if I had

somehow left modern-day Cam-

bridge and stepped into the 16th

century for a few hours.

Tech photo by Bill FlowersMotor vehicle traffic on the Harvard Bridge has been limited to two lanes of cars for thepast y/ear and may be closed to all motorists when repairs begin.

By T~ony Zamparutti(Editor'. note: This is the sc-

ontd of a two-part series on theplazns for the Harvardf Bridge.)

The M~etropoitan DistrictCommission (MDQ) plans to re-place the superstructure of theHarvard Bridge because of cracksin the hangers that join sectionsof the bridge.

The cracks became a majorconcern after the collapse of a si-mnilarly-constructed bridge on In-terstate 95 in Greenwich, Con-necticut. One of the bridg-'shanger joints failed and an entiresection of the bridge fell into theMianus River, killing three peo-ple.

Inspectors who examined theHarvard Bridge following theConnecticut failure discoveredcracks in several hangers andfound one hanger broken.

Construction is set to begin inthe spring of 1986j, according toDavid Lenhard, a senior engineerfor the Commission.

The Massachusetts Departmentof Public Works (DPW), which isadministering the construction,has not made a final decision on

The fastest way to replace thebridge, however, would be toclose it completely and removeentire sections, working from thecenter toward both shores, oneengineer on the project said.

MIT has expressed its concernto the agency for students whowill need to cross the CharlesRiver while the Harvard Bridge isclosed, according to Ronald Su-duiko, special assistant to thechairman of the MITF Corpora-tion.

John H. Slater '78, assistantprofessor of civil engineering,said hanger joints were frequaent-ly used on bridges constructed inthe 19th century because theymade the equations for loads-easy to solve. The Mianus RiverBridge, however, was built after

The engineers' wish to easetheir problem sets one hundredyears ago resulted in eight sec-tions of the Harvard Bridgewhich literally hang between oth-er sections di~rectly supported bythe bridge's piers.

The Harvard Bridge was actu-ally well-constructed, Slater con-tended, but it was designed tosupport trolley cars and horse-drawn carts, not this century'strucks and buses.

Four rows of girders supportthe H-arvard Bridge's roadway, sothe failure of one hanger leavesthree to carry the load, Slater ex-plained. In comparison, only two

girders supported the Connecti-cut bridge: when the hanger jointconnecting one side's girderfailed, an entire section fell.

In addition, salt spread on thebridge in winter to melt snow hascorroded a number of hangerjoints, Slater explained, causingthem to seize. Since the jointscould not move they could notperform the job they were de-signed for and the resulting strainon them created cracks in thehangers.

Another problem is that theMDC has rarely inspected thebridge or done major mainte-nance work on it.

The Harvard Bridge has overtwenty hanger joints. The recon-structed bridge will provide tworemedies for the joint problenms,according to the preliminary de-sign plans made by the Pavlo En-gineering Company.

The new design will featurejoints which support interveningsections rather than leaving themhanging. Roller bearings will

being done to determine whetheror not a few long sections can beused to span the entire bridge. Ifthe pier's piles are not strongenough, one central part ojf thebridge will have to use short-hinged sections, as does the pre-sent bridge, rather than a con-tinuous span.

its Beaconisered the 16 remaining yards tofurther pad the lead.

MIT closed the scoring with a42-yard drive set up when DaveAddison '87 recovered a Beaconfumble. Curran, Adams, andfullback Hugh Ekberg '88 com-bined their running efforts, withEkberg providing the final four-yard surge for the score.

The win snapped the Engi-neers' three-game losing streak."We needed the win after sometough losses on the road," saidMIT head coach Dwight Smithafter the game.

"I really wanted the shutoutfor the defense," he added. Re-cent strong defensive efforts havebeen masked by injuries to theoffense and untimely turnovers.

Smith is hoping quarterbackDave Broecker G. who sat outSaturday's game with a separatedshoulder, will return to the lineupfor Saturday's season finaleagainst the Roger Williams Sea-hawks.

"He adds an extra dimensionto our game," said the coach ofthe veteran quarterback.Broecker is one of the team'sleading rushers.

Offensive tackle John Einhorn,who was injured in the gameagainst Worcester State, may alsosuit up for the contest.

The game is scheduled to beginat I pm, half an hour earlier thanusual.

Football pullBy Martin Dickau

Fullback Dan Curran '85rushed for 139 yards and twotouchdowns, and defensive backShane Arnold '88 had two inter-ceptions as the men's footballclub pounded the UMass-BostonBeacons, 33-0, Saturday in Stein-brenner Stadium.

MIT's five turnovers were theonly barrier preventing an evengreater blow-out of the haplessBeacons, as the Engineers heldUMass to minus six yards netrushing and only 41 yards pass-ing.

The Beacons have yet to winthis season.

The game began well forUMass, when Daxland Prather'87 fumbled the kickoff returnand the Beacons recovered on theMIT 38-yard line. UMass man-aged but one yard on three playsand were forced to punt.

The Engineers wasted no timesetting the game's offensive tone.

-Starting from its own 15, MITmoved out to midfield, thanks tothree penalties and a 20-yard runup the middle by Curran. Curranreceived the call once again at theBeacon 48 and broke loose to goall the way for the score.

MIT put another six points onthe board halfway through thesecond quarter when quarterbackPeter Gasparini '88 connectedwith Ken Corless '86 for a 32-yard scoring strike.

The Engineers scored again fiveminutes later on another Curranrun. The drive began after defen-sive tackle Larry Munroe G col-lected.his third of six quarterbacksacks, giving MIT the ball on theBeacon 27. Six plays later, theEngineers found themselves atthe seven, and Curran once againbroke through for the touch-down. With Gasparini's kick, thehalftime score stood at 19-0.

The second half began inauspi-ciously for the Beacons. MITlinebacker Mark Hanson pickedoff a pass on the UJMass 18. Twoplays later Chris Adams '87 cov-

Zak wasfollowed by RPon Smith '85, Gor-don Holterman '87, Turan Erdo-gan '87, and Rod Hinman '88.The race marks the end of the ju-nior varsity season.

MIT coach Halston Taylorcongratulated his team for theday's effort, "'You were reallygreat out there." Taylor expressedconfidence that the Engineers willbe in Ohio in two weeks for theirmost important meet of the sea-son, the New England DivisionIII Championships. The trip toOhio is contingent upon thesquad's performance in the re-gional qualifying race Saturdayat Franklin Park.

The Engineers' individualtimes were personal records forall but one runner, despite thefact that the harriers thought ofthis race more as a dual meetthan as a championship. Theteam has planned for its mentaland physical peaks to coincidewith its big push at the New Eng-land NCAA Division III Cham-pionships in two weeks.

Bill Bruno '85 finished first forMIT, 44th overall, in a time of25:50. Bill Mallet '86, EugeneTung '88, Will Sauer '85 and An-ton Briefer '88 - the remainingfour of MIT's scoring five - allcrossed the line within the nexthalf minute.

began its post-season competitionwith a pair of strong showings inthe New England Championshipsat Boston's Franklin Park Satur-day.

The day's sunny, cool andwindless weather provided nearlyideal racing conditions. The En-gineers rose to the occasion, plac-ing sixth and tenth in the juniorvarsity and varsity divisions, re-spectively.

Almost two hundred of NewEngland's top cross country run-ners assembled for the varsityrace. The seven MIT runnersavoided the big-race tendency to"get lost in the crowd," showingtheir traditonal team runningability by staying close togetherthroughout the race.

"It was like running a dualmeet," said Anton Briefer '88after the race, noting that he was

"What if I don't own a pair ofskates?" you ask. Well, youcould buy a pair. "But," you pro-test, "a good pair of hockeyskates can cost up to fifty bigones."

No need to despair. The Classof 1984 has come to your rescue.You can now rent skates for re-creational use and physical edu-cation classes, thanks to lastyear's senior class gift to the De-partment of Athletics.

"Every year, the graduatingclass presents a gift to MIT as afarewell and as a way for theMIT community to remember theclass," said John Holcomb '84,off-campus chairman of the Sen-ior Gift Program. "By establish-

ing a system of ice skate rental,we intend to provide a much-needed service."

Approximately 150 pairs ofhockey skates, with sizes rangingfrom 4 on up, are available for anominal fee. The skates are is-sued at the equipment desk in theRockwell Cage lobby.

MIT students with current ath-letic stickers and members of theMIT community with athleticcards are eligible to rent theskates. Students are charged arental fee of one dollar, whilefaculty, staff, and alumni have topay two. Each cardholder mayalso rent skates for up to twoguests, supply permitting. Rentalfor family members is also limit-ed to two additional pairs per vis-it.

Skates must be returned afterPE class and by the end of thegeneral skating period. Failure toreturn skates will result in a fineand possible loss of athletic cardprivileges.
