Kolenkow has been calledone of the best teachers at theInstitute; he won the BakerAward in 1968. Several of hisstudents, shaken by the decision,have started a letter-writing andpetition campaign directed atd e p a r tment head VictorWeisskopf, urging him to recon-sider Kolenkow's case.

somewhat-unfamiliar school-work. Frey added that his owninformal survey found freshmenand sophomores generally favor-ing the idea, while graduate stu-dents were indifferent.

Opposed to the vacation were100 faculty members who ex-pressed their distaste on an IAPquestionnaire. Six hundred pro-fessors returned the survey; thepoll contained no questionsspecifically designed to garnerfeelings on the October break.

Late-term rushThere was some confusion

about whether or nor the weekvacation was responsible for therushed teaching widely notedtowards the end of the fall term.One professor explained that theterm schedule was designed sothat no class days were lost toinclude the political break. Thefive days were made up by hold-ing classes on a Saturday, cuttinga day of the four day ColumbusDay weekend, holding classes onVeteran's Day, cutting a day offthe final exam period, and hold-ing the first day of final examson a Saturday.

Following the tabling vote,which was near unanimous, Freypledged that the CEP wouldmake an attempt to gather moredata before the March meeting.He explained that the CEP hadheld off a formal survey for fearof disrupting attempts to gatherfeedback on the January IAP.

Commission activitiesMartin then turned the floor

over to Hoffman for his discus-sion of Commission activities.Reviewing its progress since theNovember release of the report,Hoffman described the attemptsof teams of Commission mem-bers to gather community reac-tions to the three main Commis-sion proposals - the First Divi-sion, CEP restructuring, and theInstitute Council.

During the spring, he contin-ued, the Commission will foregorewriting their report or pickingup new topics to take a groupposition. Rather, the Commis-sion will initiate the programsneeded to provide for some"hard thinking and possible im-plementation" of their propos-als. Hoffman envisions this struc-ture as providing a "bridge"through the upcoming change ofadministration and summer vaca-tion.

mentation of their Novemberreport recommendations.

Elaborating, Faculty Chair-man Ted Martin explained thathe, Hoffman, the provost, andthe president would selectgroups of faculty and studentsto research ideas and developapplications for such subjects asthe First Division, continuingeducation, the Humanities De-partment, and MIT adminis-tration. These task forces wouldreport back during the summer,so their proposals would beready for printing and distribu-tion as the fall term began.

Personal contactDiscussion of the October

vacation motion consistedmainly of faculty attempts toweigh the input gleaned frompersonal contact with associates- both students and faculty.Professor Peter Elias reportedthat his own freshmen and first-year graduate s.udents wel-comed the break as a useful timefor catching up with their

Subsequently, a sense-of-the-meeting vote to measure facultysentiment on the fall breakshowed 27 professors favoringthe idea while 52 felt it inap-propriate.

A lack of hard data hamperedresolution of the issue. Repre-senrting the CEP, ProfessorFrederick Frey admitted thatthe committee had not gatheredmeaningful faculty or studentopinions on the proposed calen-dar feature.

MIT CommissionLater in the meeting, MIT

Commission Chairman KenHoffman presented a summaryof his group's plans for thecoming months. The Commis-sion will concentrate on settingup the structure for continueddiscussion and possible imple-

gynecology and obstetrics, beganhis lecture with a "birds andbees" type of review of fertiliza-tion and mating'in animals. Hecontinued with a discussion ofthe human genitals.

At the conclusion of his pre-sentation, Dr. Guttmacher ex-pressed doubt about the meritsof the lecture format for sexeducation. It would be better, hesaid, to use a "seminar format."Guttmacher commended MITfor its series.

Questions occupied about ahalf hour after the lecture.Guttmacher, who had statedthat he didn't know "what youwant to hear," supplied morespecific information in his an-swers than in the main body ofhis presentation.

The Rosa Luxemburg Com-mittee passed out leaflets tothose waiting to enter Kresgeattacking the lecture series with"continuing and maintaining theoppressive and sexist culture ofAmerican society." They alsohad a table set up to sell radicalliterature on sexuality.

By Harvey BakerSeveral administrators from

the Housing and Dining Officeexplained the new room andboard increases set for next yearat a meeting last Thursday nightin MacGregor House.

The meeting was one of aseries of such discussions to beheld with dorm residents whohave questions about the newrates.

$1 50 increaseWhat the increases mean for a

typical West Campus residentremaining on a commons mealsplan is that his room and boardcosts will increase $150 nextyear.

Present were Kenneth C.Browning, Assistant Director ofHousing and Dining Services;David K. Cantley, an employeeof Stouffers, Inc., who overseesStouffers operation at MIT; andRichard Sorenson, Associate

Dean for Student Affairs. Theinitial presentation was made byBrowning, with Cantley andSorenson chiming in only toanswer questions directed atthem by students.

The three administrators hadeaten a delicious commons din-ner in MacGregor dining hallpreceding the evening meeting,and were accompanied by about20 students to the house loungeafter dinner. Attendance at thesession never topped 30.

Students fortunate?The essence of the discussion

was questioning from disgrun-tled students, who wanted toknow why the increases were aslarge as they were. The essenceof the replies from Browningwas that the students were for-tunate that the increases hadbeen held to the low level thatthey had.

Costs, said Browning, are

zooming, and had not servicesbeen cut and the Institute agreedto give Housing & Dining ano-interest loan, the increaseswould have been much higher.

One of the most interestingrevelations of the meeting camefrom Cantley, who was an-swering a question about howcommons rates over IAP weredetermined. He stated thatStouffers had no idea how manystudents would stay over IAPand elect to buy commons,therefore the $38 price tag onIAP meals reflected only thecost of the food itself. Theoverhead costs for the dininghalls during January were addedto first and second semestercommons rates, and thus IAPcommons was destined to be abreak-even proposition regard-less of how many studentsbought the plan. Of course, alsoimplicit in this was that studentswho didn't buy commons duringIAP were subsidizing those whodid.

Browning noted that. theHousing and Dining Office wasfaced with'large and mountingdeficits in both areas, and if

money limits the number oftenure recommendations thatcan be made, and this year thephysics department felt it couldonly make two, Kleppner andAssoc. Prof. Walter H. Lewin.Apparently, Weisskopf's inputsdid not rate Kolenkow's researchrecord equal to the other men's.

The students feel that per-haps money could be found toretain Kolenkow if the depart-ment re-examined its budget.Additionally, they feel that MITcannot afford to lose a teacherof Kolenkow's quality, and thathis case represents an imbalancein the department's priorities.

Kolenkow's case is part of apattern of cutbacks among non-tenured faculty,' which, accom-panied by a decline in graduatestudent assistantships, is cuttingback on the absolute size of theteaching staff. French speculatedthat remaining staff could takeover for the manpower lost.

Kolenkow is understandablyunhappy with the situation, es-pecially since he will face diffi-culaies finding another job.

Widman (both '72), who assistKolenkow in his lab, are co-ordinating the campaign. Aletter was distributed this weekto students and former studentsof Kolenkow, requesting testi-monials to be used "both inconnection with the possible re-consideration of the tenure de-cision, or, should the worstoccur, in Dr. Kolenkow's searchfor another position." By Wed-nesday night they had receivedsome dozenresponses.

Asked about the petitioncampaign, assistant departmenthead Anthony P. French said hedoubted it could effect a re-versal, citing finances as themajor reason, and Prof. Kolen-kow's research record, relative tohis colleagues', as another. Headded that Kolenkow's tenurecase had been "an agonizingone" to consider.

The department head makesthe final decision on tenure re-commendations, but, saidFrench, he has many inputsfrom people both within andoutside the department. Tight

idea, only the half-dozen showedup. A single male MIT studentalso came for the class, but drewno formal challenge because theinstructor didn't arrive on time.He left after waiting 20 minutes.

None of the women presentseemed determined to excludemales from the class. One ofthem conmmnented that the segre-gation seemed just as "sexist" asmale domination of women.When questioned why shethought an all-female class mightbe appropriate, another of thestudents replied that it would bea good way to explore the intel-lectual and cultural contri-butions women have made tosociety.

sort of hard evidence was necessary for anyrational evaluation of the proposal. It would seemthat at least the deadline objection was spurious,-since this year's calendar, modified in early May,still managed to find its way into the catalog.

The poor faculty and student showing is an-other matter. Granted, the agenda wasn't particu-larly dramatic, but-more of the faculty might havefelt compelled to fulfill their obligation to the

community. Perhaps a more timely distribution of

agenda would help. Many professors did not getthe call to the meeting until this Tuesday; a latemailing hardly calculated to allow an opportunityto discuss the upcoming business. An earlierdistribution would certainly have increased thechance that students would find out about themeeting and offer their opinions.

Only three or four students showed up forWednesday's faculty meeting, a turnout that

matched the faculty's own sub-one hundred atten-

dance. ·Perhaps it was just as well, for -the

.discussions would certainly have disappointed any.students who wandered in to watch the faculty

exercise their responsibility to set MIT's educa-

tional policy.

The discussion of the -week-long October vaca-

tion was particularly uninspiring. That the CEP

would present a motion with only the sketchiestdata available is unsettling. Apparently the CEP

thought they had to meet a March deadline for

next year's official catalog, and feared that taking

a survey might disrupt efforts to gather opinions

on other experiments, but we believe that some

CutbacksBesides the cutting back of

desk staff operations [to be dis-cussed belowl other services be-ing terminated or reduced' in-clude the closing of AshdownDining Hall, the elimination ofthe $12 House Tax, which in thepast was collected by the Instit-ute and remitted the dorms, theclosing of the "Thirsty Ear,"reduced cleaning and porter ser-vice, and the collection of adamage or breakage fee from allHouse residents at the start ofthe academic year. Had notthese cuts been made, Browningestimated that increases in roomrent could have gone .to$100/year.

As previously noted, the op-eration of the House 'desk isbeing trimmed to only 8 hoursper. day. This was a central boneof contention at the meeting, as

several desk staff members werepresent. Said one, "If it weren'tfor the desk staff, this Housewouldn't have opened in Sep-tember." He was referring to thefact that at the start of theschool year, MacGregor was notready for complete occupancy,and only the hard work of thedesk staff was able to sort thingsout during several crises.

At one point during the meet-ing, the blackboard that Brown-ing was using to explain thefigures related to the increasewas taken away by students whosaid they needed it for a 6.14class. Browning inquired if therewasn't another blackboard in theHouse that he could use, reflect-ing that with the money fromthe House Tax and the incomefrom the laundry, the Houseshould have sufficient funds topurchase a second blackboard.Explained one of the students,Paul Aidala '71, as he was cart-ing off the blackboard, "Wespent the money to finish theHouse, Ken."'
