CORRECTION

Friday's issue of The Tech identi-fied one of the RLSDS rally speakersas Paul Sullivan '71. It was actuallyPaul R. Sullivan '73.

In the same article, it was statedthat there was an initial confronta-tion outside the "Corporation Con-ference Room." Actually, the con-frontation took place outside themain entrance to the suite of officesoccupied by the President and theChairman of the Corporation, andthe door which was broken throughwas a separate entrance to the Pres-ident's office, which is normally keptlocked.

(Faculty members: ProfessorsLouis Kampf and Lillian Robin-son, both of Course XXI.)

The list was released yester-day afternoon by Peter Bohmerand was confirmed by DanielKlubock, counsel for the ac-cused. In a press release issuedby MIT yesterday, it was an-nounced that further complaintsmay be filed as the Institutecontinues its review of lastweek's activities.

Johnson commented in therelease, "I believe we have actedfairly and with considerable res-traint over the last few days. Weare now asking the courts to dealwith the illegal acts involved."

Professor Paul Gray, Associ-ate Provost, and Robert Sullivan,Institute Legal Counsel, ap-peared yesterday afternoon atthe Clerk of Court's office toseek the issuance of complaints.At Klubock's request, a hearingwas set for tomorrow morning at10 am to consider the issuanceof the complaints.

"Disruption of classes" is il-legal under the laws ofMassachusetts, and carries amaximum penalty of a fine of$50 and a 30 day jail sentence.The classes of Professor JohnWulff, III, and Professor EdwinD. Bransome, XX, were dis-rupted Friday afternoon.

The maximum penalty fortrespass'is a fine of $100 and a30 day jail term.

If the court complies withMIT's request, it will issue com-plaints against the 31, then issuesummonses or warrants. Klu-bock declined to speculate whenthe cases might come to trial.

Late Sunday night it ap-peared that the committee wasdisturbed by the refusal of theadministration to reconsider, butno further action on the matterwas planned.

Executive Committee mem-ber Wells Eddleman'71 said alsothat a General Assembly meetingwould be called for tonight inorder to discuss the events oflast week.

Throughout the day Sunday,the Executive Committee of theGeneral Assembly conducted arunning battle with the admini-stration concerning the way inwhich charges would be pressedagainst the students who partici-pated in the occupation of Pres-ident Howard Johnson's officelast week.

Early in the day, it becameapparent that the administrationwould press forward immedi-ately with civil charges againststudents as well as non-studentswho participated in.the occupa-tion. In the past. the Institutehas generally preferred to handlestudents through internal disci-plinary procedures rather thanpress civil charges.

The coalition of revolution-ary students and non-studentswho occupied the offices of Pre-sident Howard- Johnson andChairman of the CorporationJames Killian at noon on Thurs-day left voluntarily at 1Q pmFriday night.

No police were called.As the occupiers left chanting

and singing, members of theadministration made notes andmovies were taken. Immediatelyafter the last radical moved out-side the door, the room wassealed by several campus patrol-men and top administrators. In-stitute photographers and phy-sical plamt personnel immediate-ly entered the room to cataloguedamage and begin round-the-clock repair efforts.

Meanwhile, the revolution-aries, now numbering about 75,marched to the Student Centerto plot their next move.

internally, the Institute had little choice otherthan pressing civil charges under thi presentcircumstances. No amount of discipline reformwill produce a system based on assumptions whichwill be accepted by the revolutionaries.Furthermore, any attempts to handle this caseafter discipline reform would result in handling thecase using the rules of an ex post facto' nature,which would be unsatisfactory.

Hereafter, if the Institute is to be a viable entityand if the present poisoned state ofstudent-faculty relations is to be corrected, anumber of things must happen. The faculty willhave to rise above the vindictive mass-psycology ofthe last faculty meeting and begin to deal withstudents as individuals again. The administrationmust deal with legitimate student representativeson the issue of judicial reform, not on the basis ofthe occupation of the President's office but iatheron the basis of the motion passed by the GeneralAssembly last week and the actions of the GeneralAssembly force. Finaly, the student body will haveto consider whether it had a stake in the presentsystem, and if so, it must act in -concern wiht otherelements of the community to establish a socialcontract based" on assumptions shared by theentire community.

The recent occupation of.President HowardJohnson's office by a coalition of revolutionarieswas the least constructive action this campus hasseen in a long time. It has polarized the campusand caused a vast majority to move several steps tothe right out of fear. The atmosphere has beenpoisoned, and the pros] ects of reform havedimmed.

All of this is desirable if you believe theInatitute and American society'to be so bankruptthat they must be overthrown. While we haveactively pressed for a variety of reforms which wedeem essential, we shudder at the thoughtoftearing down what we already have. While much ofour criticism of society is along the lines- of therevplutionaries, we would not be so presumptiousto assume that we understand all the world's ills orthat they can be blamed on the oversimplifiedabstractions of "capitalism" or "imperialism."Consequently, we can only condemn acts ofcoercion designed to force a point of view on thecommunify. Our best opportunity to improvesociety without throwing away what we alreadyhave will exist in an open, ndn-polarizedatmosphere in which people may act without fearof intimidation.

. While we regret that the cases of MIT studentsinvolved in the occupation cannot- be handled

ment of this committee; the'onestudent member of the com-mittee with whom I was some-what familiar had recently par-

ticipated 'in a snowball incidentwhich resulted in several brokenwindows' in the dormitory ofwhich he is Judicial CommitteeChairman.

Their concern for the fairnessof the disciplinary proceedingshaving been echoed by the twomajor campus newspapers aswell as many respected membersof the faculty, the radicals had alegitimate cause upon which to

`-base their protest. Unfortunate-ly, to concisely summarize theresult of the course they-chose,they blew it.

In the wake of last- week'saction, there is destruction-'notonly in the physical damage tothe offices they occupied butalso of any early chance ofhaving their cause advanced.

For its next move, the SDS isnow planning the distribution of

-a petition among· the com-munity. Common sense wouldhave told them that this course,an attempt to document wide-.spread support, should havebeen their first mode of actioninstead of the senseless gropingfor the revolutionary thrills thatthey undertook.

Ns a result of the radicals'-action, the administration,which initially seemed receptive.to a reasoned review of the

disciplinary process,- has nowbeen forced to adopt a hardenedline in response to the outragethat the occupation has engend-ered both at MIT and across thenation., It is unfortunate thatthere will now' be little if any.opposition from this communityas those who sought justifiablechange in the system. will insteadbecome, the next victims of theInstitut' s discip ne .process.: . ~,-.~

.In 'his post-occupation·statement, President Johnsonstressed that the faculty as wellas the rest of the student bodysolidly opposed the takeover.-Indeed, judging from the sparseattendence at the pre-occupationrally and at Sunday's -"massmeeting" and the predominantindifference of most students tothe occupation, very few stu-dents seemed 'to be at all arousedb y the fact that the ad-ministration' had' expelled thepresident of .the student body.Whether it is a reflection of thefact that student government isstill irrelevant to many students,

,of general '.antipathy to the an-tics of Mike Albert and com-pany, or of the simple fact thatthe 'typical. MIT studen-t-although being more con-scious of the world outside himthan were his .predecessors-isstill a politically inactive "tool",it appears that Howard Johnsonhas a "Silent Majority" of hisown at his side.

A nother thought-provokingincident of the occupation oc-cured during a debate in the"liberated" President's office be-tween students and a distraughtalumnus who argued that thePresident ought to be more re-sponsive to the alumni than tothe students. Unfortunately, thecritical financial situation of pri-vate universities today does re-quire the Institute to maintainthe support of its alumni. Never-theless, we do live in-a time ofnecessary change both at thenational level and at MIT and.generally speaking, today's stu'-dents perceive the need forchange more than do their eldersand their time horizon is muchshorter. Although their cause isren dered more difficult byevents. such as last week's, thereare many concerned and re-sponsible students at this In-stitute who' can and shouldbe-and in many cases, alreadyare-involved in working forreasoned change at MIT.'

By Bob Dennis

Upon returning from va-cation, my first reaction to theexpulsion of Mike Albert wasthat thie Administration had.made its second major tacticalblunder of this academic year.

The first had been the "fir-ing" of "Doc" Draper. Thismove had little effect on theradical students - who realized

'tliat: the-'only "conversion" thathad taken place was in the nameof the Director. Instead, theshakeup only served to furtherarouse the disillusionment of theI-Lab workers toward the admih'-istration.

The Albert expulsion was ill--conceived because of the op-portunity it presented to theradicals, whose November Ac-tions had fallen short of ex-

.pectations in their impact andwho seemed to be in need ofsomething to incite them to new,"actions".

Considering the questionablenature of the charges that wereexplicitly leveled against Albertand the manner in which thehearings were conducted, theradicals certainly had a plausibleissue with which to start.

The expulsion had illum-inated the shortcomings of theInstitute's judicial process andthe dubious, legitimacy -of theDiscipline Committee itself.From nmy own viewpoint, it wasdifficult to respect the judge-

breaking and -entering, assault(on Campus Patrolmen), verbalintimidation, vandalism, theft-..does anyone really believe thatMIT students would toleratethese.acts in normal times,. thatthey would contenance even.fora moment such an assault uponan institution they loved, res-pected and, felt to be in theright?

MITE" stads'. a cu 'sed-.' in;' the''

eyes of its students. Its answershave been less than satisfactory.Howard' Johnson talks.' aboutconversion: Charles Miller's let-ter bursts the balloon. On theone hand HoJo says "most ofour students oppose the Viet-nam 'war"-he might explain theintent of his letter to"GeneralGroves concerning Sanctuary.Excuse me, Howard, I partici-pated in Sanctuary; I -feel be-trayed.

The radicals (oh, sorry-revolutionaries), in their privatediscussions, will 'hypocriticallytell you their goal is not to winthe demands but to force polari-zation and "build the move-ment".But they aren't really pro-ducing polarization; just ex-

-posing and widening it. It wasthere already, that gulf betweenpro-war and anti-war, betweenfreak and GE board member,,between liberal capitalists andnascent socialists. Maybe thingswould be different hadn't the'Johnson and Nixon yearsseemingly scuttled the viabilityof liberalism, but now the rootof the matter is: are you for the-status quo or against it, and doesMIT enforce it or can MIT be aforce for changing it?

Many of us suspect that theInstitute is the bastion of inertia,and that's why we aren't rushingto its defense. Maybe the facultywants it that way; it often looksthat way.

For my part, I only wish thatdemands were negotiable andboth opposing extremetieswould give the other side, andme, a little time. But they won't,looks like, so here comes theapocalypse. When I've wept forthe jailed, and cursed the god-damn human race, maybe 'llwant to head for the NorthWoods.

Maybe there won't be a uni-versity worth attending left.What will we be, with all thedifferences, all the rancor and allthe bitterness sitting like a rot-ted feast on our table?

About six months ago MikeAlbert told BenS'nyder he ex-pected to be- 'in ijail in sixmonths, and that Ben wouldhelp put him there.. And now,apparently, he's about to fulfillhis prophecy. Others will go-with him. The next step in thedestruction of MIT as we knowit (Bernie' Feldman said thatlastOctober)' should be either a stu-dent stitke or a'_taculty':revoltwhich may end with -1owardJohnson fleeing to the NorthWoods. (Ilil bet he wishes nowhe'd taken the presidency ofGeneral Foodswhen he had thechance!

Why? The events of last weekhave severely-shaken the faculty,not surprisingly. They are nowpainfully aware thatradical stu-dents will resort to batteringrams, will vandalize offices andsteal letters. They also knowthat radicals will enter and dis-rupt classes. They remember(and probably with no littlefear) that Weathermen proposedbeating up Max Millikan andIthiel Pool last November. Thefaculty is scared. They feelthreatened, and their logic lares-ponse is "Save us, Howard, orelse!"-because they won't settlefor less. Hence, the swift actionof the administration to get tothe court.

Me atnwhile, moderate stu-dents express anger that the mat-ter is being taken out of the(mythical) MIT community, andwant the administration to waituntil after a new internal ju-diciary can be set up to handleMIT students' cases, And if theirdemands are not met, they' mayhelp precipitate the big strike.

Which is, of course, what therevolutionaries want.

Bullshit, all of it.'The issue isnot and never has been internaljudiciary apparatus. No disci-plinc committee, however So-momonic, could have given Al-bert a fair hearing. He didn'twant one, because he knew hewas guilty of the charges againsthim. Indeed, you have to manrela little at Lamson's restraint.Would you sit still while peopleshouted "pig" at you?

The issue isn't fairness ofdiscipline; the issue is MIT'sright to administer,discipline inthe first place. Does it haremoral legitimacy in the eyes ofits students? Consider the actscommitted in the occupation ofthe President's office. Trespass,

New company to completeMIRV, ABM contracts

on old NASA siteBy Skits Enderson

In a surprise move, theCharles Stick Dropper (formerlyInstrumentation) Laboratorieswill leave MIT and move into thebuildings being vacated byNASA in Cambridge, Dropperannounced today with an elfingrin.

The move followed the form-ation over the weekend of theCSD Instrumentation Corpora-tion and the decision by theDepartment of Defense to trans-fer all the contracts it presentlymaintains with the labs throughMIT to the new corporation.

Lab personnel began movinginto the NASA buildings today.Dozens of FBI agents cordonedoff the areas around the loadingdocks of several IL buildings toprevent breaches of security astop-secret records and instru-ments were transferred toBrink's trucks for transportationto the new quarters.

CSD moves into the formerNASA site by virtue of an agree-ment reached last Friday be-tween NASA administratorThommass Pain and DefenseSecretary Melvin Laird, transfer-ring the buildings from NASAjurisdiction to the DoD. DoD inturn will lease the buildings toCSD for $1 per year.

"Doc" Dropper also disclosedthat CSD would, in addition tocompleting the MIRV, ABM,and helicopter contracts, embarkon new work funded by DoD tothe tune of $130,00,000 peryear.

At a press conference in thegleaming, ultra-modern auditor-ium/steam room of the NASAsite, Dropper and his colleagues(the new board of directors ofCSD) unveiled models of someof their new projects, such as:

Antisubmarine Sonic System:CSD will develop a weapondesigned to match the resonantfrequency of Soviet submarinehulls, destroying them invisibly.CSD officials said that half anAntisubmarine Sonic' Systemwould be installed on the newPoseidon submarine John FosterDulles, now being built in New-port News, Virginia.

is due to this fiscal irresponsibil-ity.

The Institute was put on pro-bation by Finboard last year. Atthe time, the reasons given werethe -unacceptable fundingsources and the large amounts ofmoney taken as pay by theofficers of the organization.

Finboard Chairman Gyp Faleannounced today that his com-mittee would submit a motionto next Tuesday's General As-sembly meeting to have theboard stop funding the Institute.

According to the statementby Fale, "MIT has shown grossnegligence in its financial mat-ters and has repeatedly assertedthat it was going to changefunding sources toward a moreacceptable balance and stability.It has neglected to do so." Inadditioh, the comptroller of theorganization, Paul Cutestick, hassteadfastly refused to submit theInstitute's books for a Finboardaudit. This move to "spin-off'the Institute, according to Fale,.

today, President Howard WeaslyJohnson of the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology an-nounced plans for the merger ofthe Institute with the Mothers

And Fathers Italian Association.The reason for the merger isbased in the large number ofuncontrollable student protestsof late. "The M.A.F.I.A.", ex-plained Johnson, "has been longknown for their power to quell

IL - H--k-- a~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~~~mpb ~~~~~smrB~~~~~b~~~y_~

dissent.""At first", Johnson con-

tinued, "we had considered sub-contracting our work in controlof student affairs, but inflationhas made this impossible." Ap-parantly good torpedoes are get-ting harder and harder to find.In addition, the police are nowdemanding bigger and biggerpayoffs. As an example, a scantfew years ago murders were only$200 each; broken arms were$75 each or 2 for $125; acid inthe face $75 (sulfuric) and 75cents (citric). Today murders are$300, arms $100 and $150, andacid $75 and $3.

The new organization will beknown as the Mothers And Fa-thers Italian Association.

It has been rumored thatJohnson (alias "Howie theWeasel") -has changed his nameto Guido Johnsoni. Despite thefact that Jay Hammerschlagchanged his naine to GiovanniHammeroni he was only givencontrol of the grenade throwingrange. Needless to say, all Greekswill be rapidly disposed of.

Two members of the Mothers And Fathers Italian Associationconduct a seminar for college administrators in protest control. Themethods used by the Association have proved to be the mosteffective currently in use.

INSTITUTE HUR�DLES TO�ARDS

APOCALYPSE; D-LABS MOQVINGWHILE RADICALS PROFLIGATE

RADICALS ATKRESGE FOR

LIFE RAPA national conference ot radi-

cali. youth, held -in MIT's KresgeAuditorium as part of a nation-wide week of political activities,has been declared a failure byhigh-ranking delegates who at-tended.

Those present smoked WhiteOwl cigars, jingled change in thepockets of greyflannel suits, andlistened to the music of Manto-vani in an attempt to understandthe life-styles of the alienatedmiddle class. Bernadine Dohrnwas reported in satisfactory con-dition in the newly liberatedmaternity ward of Beth MiamiHospital after her face broke outwhen she inhaled the smoke oftobacco leaves.

The conference got off to abad start when MIT ProvostJerome Weasel, an invited mem-ber of the old left, agreed that"immediate withdrawal" was asound policy, though.the twoclashed over the application ofthe concepts. Cries of "Fuckcyou, Weasel, we've~had enoughof your' Playboy articles!"drowned out the provost.

In another incident outsideKresge, portfolioless sVP Ken-neth R. Waddly was approachedby a naked woman, who assualt-ed him with tepid Mazola oil andmade lewd suggestions. ProfessorRolo-Christ corroborated Wad-dly's testimony, though he ad-ded that it was not a woman,but a girl, who precipitated theincident. Waddly was thwartedin his efforts to' remove theprovocateur by campus cops,who threw themselves in hispath screaming "arrest me! ar-rest me!" in squealing voices.Greek Freedom Fighter GeorgeKatchyourfeces, who was stand-ing nearby singing '"Onassis wasRight" to the tune of "We shallovercome", denied this tookplace.

Institute officials, frustratedand wanting to blow off steam,occupied the UAP's office afterbreaking in with an illegal masterkey fabricated in a metallurgylab, only to find that the officehad been cleaned out severaldays previously, and that theradical leaders were not present.

The officials then moved tothe lobby of Building 7, where amock trial was held. Prof. RoyLambsen could not be located toact the part of the judge; rumorshave it that he has flown toMexico to appear in divorce pro-ceedings resulting from an inci-dent in which he jokingly toldhis wife he was Julius Hoffman.

Meanwhile, the radicals ad-journed their meeting, and, split-ting into groups, moved on theInstitute's parking facilities,which were all offed, with theexception of Westgate.Thousands of Westgate parkingstickers have been sent to mem-bers of the Institute communityon MIT presidential stationeryby the radicals.

POPE ISSUES-RUL'E AGAINST-'UNGODLY' MIT

Institute defies everything;Johnson reported flying

to the Vatican

Pope Paul VI has placed MITunder papal interdict, accordingto the Vatican newspaper L'Os-servatore Paisano. The actioncame only weeks after the Pon-tiff's address to pilgrims at SaintPeter's on the occasion of thefestival of Epiphany, in which hesaid:

"Science, which opens somany roads to natural truth andprecedes supernatural truth,does not increase the religioussense but weakens it and sends itto sleep."

That, plus a tip from radicalCatholic students that theD-Labs [formerly I-Labs] wereto be converted to research inbirth control methods, led to thepapal decree against the Insti-tute. In announcing his action,the Pope said "MIT is guilty ofcrimes against nature, and crimesin the eyes of God. Any manwho blindly follows such aninstitution in its evil path mustalso stand condemned in theeyes of God"

The interdict makes it a mor-tal sin for any Roman Catholicto attend M IT. PresidentHoward Weasly Johnson was re-portedly flying to Rome at presstime, to seek dispensations sothat Catholic students couldcontinue to attend the Institute.

Meanwhile, the Office of Pub-lic Relations issued a release,heatedly denying that CharlesStick Dropper. vice director of theLabs, had flown to Houston fortalks with Billy Grahm.

Cardinal Cushion of the Arch-diocease of Boston also issued astatement denying that thechurch had any plans to attempt

and our increasing recognition of the gap betweenthe nation's expressed intentions and its represseddesires.

Today we are witnessing a disintegration of thatconsensus. Not only has a generation learned fromthe Vietnam war that it cannot trust .its ownPresident; it has also learned from experiencingeducation that it can do without. Consequently,moreand more undergraduates have become dis-enchanted with the Institute's emphasis on 18.02,which seems to fit one only to be an inquisitive,hyper-effete cog in a machine he can't contem-plate and MIT's complicity in monstrosities likeCTSS.

each squeaky wheel will work only as a stopgapmeasure. If continued indefinitely, the result willbe an inevitable lubrication of the institution aseach interest group finds this is the way to keepthings cool' As long as this philosophy motivatesInstitute priorities, whatever common denom-inator existsbetween groups will approach zeroasymptotically.

It may be that the Institute will remain in its-present state of constipation until the governmentcan square away its own ship and tell theOmnipotent Multigarchy that our national task atthis point is to attain social justice, save theenvironment, stop the arms race, and offBob Hope. Since the Omnipotent Multigarchydoesn't give a damn about what you think, thisshould restore our apathy and sense of meaning. Ifthe Institute is to survive as a viable entity untilthat time, however, we must begin now to searchfor some teleological foundations on which we canrebuild our sense and confidence in the perversity

This issue brings Volume 69 of The Reamer toa grinding halt. While it is a time of ratiocinationand retrenching for the rag as new editors take itover, the Institute whose affairs we have beenrepresenting remains agog. It - and The Reamer -is searching for the self-confidence and sense oftile faculty which have been eroded by the war

Phallic sublimation: You hitdemonstrators over the head

(Please go to page 3)

When you consider asavings account running wellinto 5 figures as the alterna-tive to life insurance, almostany kind of life insurance isa bargain.

However, when you getdown to close comparisons,some life insurance is a big-ger bargain than others. Wellup on the list of bargains isSAVINGS BANK LIFE IN-SURANCE, for d carefulexamination will show youthat SBLI is America's low-est cost life insurance for allOrdinary Life, Endowment,and Renewable Term.

For example, under theSBLI 5 yearRenewableTermPlan, a man of 40 can buy$25,000 in Savings BankLife Insurance for less than$100 a year* (at age 25, thecost is less than $75 ayear*.) This makes it pos-sible to provide extra pro-tection--at lowest cost-at a time when families needit most. In addition, an

SBLI 5 year term policy isautomatically renewable andconvertible to any one ofseveral permanent policiesup to age 65, without addi-tional medicalt examination.This assures continuity ofprotection, no matter whathealth condition might de-velop.

Another reason why SBLIis a bargain is the fact thatalthough Massachusetts Sav-ings Bank Life Insurance isavailable only to people wholive or work in Massachu-setts, you can keep any.amount you own at the samelow premiums even if youshould leave the state. Inaddition, you can find outfor yourself about everykind of Savings Bank LifeInsurance policy by visitingour bank, where an SBLIrepresentative who is anofficer of the bank will bepleased to answer any ques-tions you may have.

landing craft' stabilization:Th6 Navy's IST (landing ships,tank) have historically had thedefect of wallowing in such amanner that some 7.4%o of theMarines landed in the DominicanRepublic were seasick when theyhit the beach. CSD will developthe LSTS (landing ship, tank-stabilized) to eliminate thisproblem in all future landings.

M oving Target Eliminator(MTE): a vast improvement overthe MTI, MTE will be designedfor use from high-flying F-11 I 's.When it spots a guerilla, it willrelease a low-yield (0.25 kiloton)MIRVed Falcon missile. Ac-curacy of the missile reportedlywill be about 100 millimeters,the length of a Benson & Hedgesniter cigarette.

In announcing these projects,the CSD board raised their righthands in a toast proposed byAssociate Director Bernie FFil-ledman: "Hojo's left andAlbert's gone, but Instrumenta-tion keeps right on!"

He was referring to MIT Presi-dent Howard Weasly Johnson'sannouncement yesterday that hewould leave MIT to becomepresident of General Foods, andto Albert's expulsion some twoweeks earlier.

Radical groups greeted themove in the usual manner. RosaLichtenstein SDS voted to oc-cupy the president's office anddemand the reunification of theLabs with MIT and their conver-sion, in addition to demandsthat MIT give $200,000 to theBlack Panther-Party, that MITfire sadistic exam monitor HalKudga, and that Richard Nixonbe declared persona non grata bythe Commonwealth of Massa-chusetts. Freedom FighterGeorge Katchyourfeces said,"We're not interested in winningdemands; we want to build amovement that will off thestate," as he was being carriedoff to a waiting Boston Police

wagon to face Judge Elwood P.Dowd in the continuation of hiscase.(held over from December)in the Roxbury District Court.The Boston Tactical cop wasoverheard to snicker, "The judgeain't gonna be happy with you,Georgie."

MITSUKS denounced the RLvote as "opportunistic" and re-newed its demands that MIT fireforeman of'janitors Sal Shula.SACC expressed dismay with ev-erybody. Jonny Cabot said,."This is exactly what we didn'twant. Of course, SACC is revolu-tionary, but how can we fightfor conversion when the labpeople won't cooperate?" TheGeneral Assembly could not bereached for comment. Finals

went on undisturbed by thesounds of gunfire from theformer NASA site where 12Weathermen were shot attempt-ing to plant a stink bomb.

The administration remainedsilent. Portfolioless Acting Presi-dent Dean K. Waddly remainedsecluded in Newton contempla-ting his navel, some said. Assist-ant to the president ConstantineB. Slimeonides told reportersfrom The -Daily Reamer "Nocomment".

"Bu.," he said, "don't quoteme on that."

'est assured thatwe are following a policy of searching reappraisal of our ,ommitaentPand -hall not be coerced by such vocal minorities as Mr. Aslop.

First, despit- the need to appease warmongering imperialista amongthe faculty and alumni lets enlightened than yourself, we have contin-ued to make our facilities available to reeponeible groups or dissenterssuch as Rosa Letchtenstein SDS and have continued to present -ubsqtntiveissues for them to galvanize mass action around. Not only that, theInstitute has initiated a policy of farming out the more notoriou. -war-mongerers on its staff, such as (the late) Max Mulligan and "Doc" CharlesStock Droper. '- are now in the process of finding worthwhile projectsto which to convert the I-Labs for the benefit of the Third ''orld, inlieu of pointlessly allowing them to pass out of existence.

Of course, we have not decided-to allow the I-Labs to continue ontheir present course ind'efinitely, but once again are only continuingthem in their present mode to soothe the nore'reactionary elements ofthe communitty and to present concrete cauEes for dedicated revolutlon-aries to build mras discontent and lead to true revolution, and notfalse and halfway reform.

In line with this policy we have recently taken disciplinary actionagainst Michael Alpert and Mr. Katzyurfeces so that they may have morereal examples of "represslon", and so that they would not have to botherwith the forms of M.I.T. student life which tend to distract them fromtheir true work towards the revolution.

Finally, I feel thnT YOU have every reason to be proud of theInstitute, for although we must preserve our public image of disapproval,we feel that v'e are playing our necessary part as a true vanguard of thereveluticr.,and we hope to take our place with you in the future socialistpeople's republic.

Right on,

In the broad jump, Al Laufurthered his assualt on BobBeamon's world record with a26' 83/4" leap. Unfortunately,Lau fouled on this attempt, nul-lifying the jump; he had to settlefor second place. Charlie "Sea-gram" Gentry cleared the cross-bar at 16' 2" to lead teammatesGloweinka and Rich to a sweepofthe vault. [Charlie's nickname

-has nothing to do with USC'sBob Seagren.]

In the high jump Al Lau andTy Rabe went 1-2. Lau demon-strated the efficacy of his tech-nique (theLau Flop) in whichhe passes over the bar with hishead tangent to it and his bodyperpendicular to the bar. Thisunique style was recently publi-cized in Sports Illustrated andAviation Weekly.

Mike McClure and Ray Mayerproved to be a hazard to thethinclads, as their heaves in theshot and 35 pound weight con-sistently exceeded 70 feet, oftenlanding in the'track.

Tech also dominated actionon the cinders by taking all butone first. In the 50 yard dash,Captain Larry Kelly offered to

New Mexico) was administered asmall dosage of dried gnu excre-ment in an effort to determinewith precision the effects of thissubstance in raising the animal'sresistance to AMY,- the well-known Aardvark Mosaic Virus.Immediately upon injection, theanimals' pupils began pulsatingin a damped oscillatory modewith an exponential decay rate,turned paisley, and then beganto oscillate again. It was alsonoted that the drug appeared toeffect an immediate dilation ofthe anus, followed by a series of

drug-induced slobberings whichvaried in,, intensity from theeffects of Exlax to those ofmoldy frijoles. The droppingsapper:ted to take on a character-istic form, such as hypercubes oranimal crackers.

It took several- hours beforethe researchers realized that theanimals were tripping.

The active principle of gnuexcrement, sulphamp hetamineexcretin, or SAE, was soonchemically extracted, and orallyadministered to a test group oftwenty-five MIT administrators,while a placebo consisting of theexcretin extraction gnu residuewas given to a group of twenty-five demonstrators collectedfrom the president's offices. Thefirst group reacted much as theaardvarks had, and even a mas-sive dose of Kaopectaie did notprevent the more embarassing-sy m p toms from eventuallyemerging. The first group re-ported the ability to experiencetwo irrelevant emotions at once,such as the euphoria of a hot-cold shower of Sanka coffee,and the frustrationi of findingthat there is no toilet paper inthe men's room. Synesthesia, thecrossing of sense experiences,

was also evidenced-one man re-ported smelling diarrhea as helistened to a piece from FrankZappa's Uncle Meat. The secondgroup- displayed only incrgasedresistance to Aardvark MosaicVirus.

Congress has already imposeda stiff penalty for possession,sale, complicity in possession orsale and knowledge of possessionor sale of gnus, gnu excrement, Istoned aardvarks, excrement ofstoned aardvarks, or any com-bination Qf these. A research:group under the auspices of theFDA, headed by Bastewell, hasset out for the Isles of Langer-ham in defiance of the new laws,seeking the breeding groundwhere the species of gnu inquestion are reported to lan-guish. The group is taking withthem large quantitite of LSD,mescaline, THC, and chlor-promazinc, which Bastewellclaims may well neutralize theeffects of SAE, or at least modi-fy them.

Bastewell plans on beginninghis PhD thesis immediatly uponhis return to Boston (date un-known), "as soon as l get someof the shit cleared out of myhead."

Jerome Leadbin of the Biol-ogy Department has announcedthe discovery of a new hallucino-gen. The existence of the drugwas first detected by BernardBastewell, a graduate student en-gaged in "Q" level security re-search under. Leadbin's direc-tion.

Although the precise natureof the experimental work wasnot revealed, it has been statedby reliable sources in high placesthat a test group of albino aard-varks (clinically pure, organicallyextracted from White Sands,

see AlbertThe administration was re-

portedly'disconcerted about themeeting. With plans afoot toobtain an injunction against thesit-in, they may have beenforced to postpone action due tothe danger of a reaction develop-ing there.

The speakers at the meetingaddressed themselves to the top-ics of change at MIT, especiallyin the disciplinary system, andthe demands resulting from thesit-in.

Pete Kramer '70, who re-signed from the Discipline Com-mittee two weeks ago, felt that

1

as victimwhile the committee consists ofwell meaning people, "they'regoing to fail." He based thisprediction on the belief that thecommittee is not doing "what itwas made for." He said that theadministration knew there was aproblem, but hadn't done any-thing about the committee.While the members of the com-mittee don't think they're actingpolitically, he felt they wereacting in a style and because ofthe style were being politicallyrepressive. He expressed a needto focus the attention of thecommunity on the problem ofthe discipline system, but haddoubts "about the wisdom ofremaining in Johnson's office."

Stephen Decanio G, a mem-ber of MIT-SDS, read the de--mands of the people in thePresident's office and called onthe meeting to support them,but met with little support. Thedemands were: 1) an end to im-perialist research, 2) no GE re-cruiters on campus, 3) an end tothe harassement of MIT main-tenance workers, 4) $150,000 tobe given .to the Black Panthers,5) rescinding of past punish-ments, 6) abolishing of the Fac-ulty Discipline Committee.

Returning again to the Stu-dent Center, the crowd decidedto call a mass meeting for 3 pmSunday.

The initial decision of thegroup -to leave the offices camejust before 10 pm at a massmeeting in Killian's office. Ap-parently unaware of the injunc-tion which the Institute wasabout to use, the group voted bya large majority to leave. Reli-able sources reported that theadministration, was prepared-tocall the police at midnight.

DamagesBefore the group left, an a-

bortive attempt was made bysome of those present to cleanup some of the -mess madeduring the 34 hour occupation.Despite these efforts, the finaltoll of damage to the officesincluded: slogans written on

most of the walls; torn carpet inone small area; destruction of ordamage to typewriters and tel-ephones; and the theft or deface-ment of tapestries and pictures;and the general messiness causedby a large residue of refuse inthe rooms.

DISCIPLINE'STATEMENT

(Continued from page 8)of admonishment, the Commit-tee had informed Mr. Albert thatits action should be regarded as awarning that disruptive or coer-cive protest was not to be toler-ated in this community.

In arriving at its recommenda-tions, the Committee first con-sidered its decision concerningthe demonstration at the Place-ment Office. It then consideredseparately the charge concerningdisruption of the Committee. Inrecommending that Mr. Albertbe disqualified for disciplinaryreasons, the Committee expres-sed the view that Mr. Albert had,on three separate occasions overa four-month period, demonst-rated his unwillingness to abideby reasonable norms governingdissent, protest, and demonstra-tions. No other actions or beliefsof Mr. Albert for which he wasnot formally charged influencedthe action of the Committee.

HEARING A CIRCUS-ABE TS FTHER(Continued from page 3)

urged by you, does not relievehim of the imperative duty ofnot judging, of not being sus-pect, or of influencing his col,leagues. No judge ever concedesthe possibility of bias; the rigidi-ty of the rule impelling disquali-fication is to prevent any possi-bility of question.

Thze The notice mailed December18th for a hearing December23rd, received on Saturday, De-cember 20th, requiring a listingof his witnesses with a disclosureof the relevancy of their testi-mony by December 22nd at4:00.pm, when students had leftfor the Christmasrecess and werenot available, was arbitrary and-unreasonable. It prevented anyassembly of witnesses by makingit impossible to even contact'them intime and imposed a pro-

hibitive cost to return any toCambridge...

The testimony corroboratesthe report in Technology Reviewthat there was no violence andthat had it been intended, no-thing could have prevented thegroup, consisting of 40 indivi-duals, half students and non-

students, from storming theplacement office. It is clear thata group gathered, milled around,used possibly strong languageand dispersed without a "shot"being fired. An annoyance, yes;an unpleasantness, yes. But ifthe punishment should fit thecrime, clearly expulsion is notwarrated for this incident.

The "disrupted" hearing washeld in a circus atmosphere be-fore interested, excitable, vola-tile spectators. That the deco-rum of the court might notresult was to be expected andwas in fact obviously antici-pated. The question is raised asto whether or not the permissiongranted for spectators was notintended as a provocation or anentrapment. That the decorumof the Court might not resultwas to be expected and that lackof decorum would prevail wasobviously anticipated. Certainly,experience should have indicatedthe possibility of interruptionand dictated the courage to ex-clude spectators. That the"gentle" Professor Lamson (sowas Brutus gentle) over-reactedand obviously was lacking theexperience or will to control thehearing was obvious from thesmall excerpt of the tape of thehearing. The decorum of thehearing when continued atteststo the conclusion that such un-toward events as occurred at theoriginal hearing were induced bythe setting.

If the incidents are viewedwith compassion, and under theRules, only such incidents maybe considered, the sum total ofzeroes is zero. Considering thatthe University has suffered theactivities of the defend..t--f-ryears and that he is potentiallyqualified for a degree within 30days, the enormity of- the pu-nishment recommended may beviewed not as the imposition ofa penalty but as an exercise invengeance. The thought cannotbe blotted out that the incidentshave been magnified out of allproportion because the defen-dant's political philosophy andhis success in awakening thepublic conscience of MIT stu-dents, theretofore admittedlymost dormant. To digress, Iwonder at how the Committeewould have judged the partici-pants of the Boston Tea Party...

As to the charge of disre,spect, it is clear that one actingin a judicial capacity, springingto his feet unjudicially in resent-ment at incidental use of impo-lite language, loudly commandeda harassed, worried student per-emptorily to sit down, in'aphysical setting not conducive todignity of decorum. Not from' awitness chair or counsel tablewhich might have prompted re-straint, impelled by excitement-

.instilling presence of an excitedaudience in an auditorium en-coulraging theatrics, unable totwait for the mot juste, the de-fendant took the tone set, Wasunable to avoid the provocationand.answered back. Under those;circumstances, does the majesty-and ruffled dignity of the Chair-man who provoked a reply re-

;quire such excessive penalty?

Albert mentioned above - "dis-respect to the Chairman of TheCommittee on Discipline which:contributed to the disruption ofthe committee."

The Comnmittee met again onDecember23 to continue (inclosed session) the hearing regar-ding the events at the PlacementOffice and the charges regardingthe meeting of December 17.Michael Albert was accompaniedby his father, Mr. Melvin Albert,as advisor. The Committee con-cluded that Michael Albert's be-havior and that of the two otherstudents at the hearing of De-cember 17 merited disciplinaryaction.

In hearing the charges andmaking its decision, the Commit-tee believed that the three stu-dents mentioned above had, bydisrupting the Committee hear-ing, demonstrated contempt forthe behavior norms of this orany other community, for rea-sonable limits of dissent andprotest, and for disciplinary pro-cesses of the- Institute in waysthat could not be ignored. TheC om mittee asserts, lowever,that neither particular politicalpersuasions of the defendantsnor use of vernacular in itselfinfluenced the Committee's -de-cisions.

Michael Albert was, at thetime of these hearings, on ad-monished status for his partici-pation in the Alumni Seminar onSeptember 7, 1969. In the letter

Discipline(Ed. 's Note: This statement wasreleased by the Discipline Com-mittee in response to inquiriesas to its nature and structure.)

Numerous inquiries frommembers of the M.I.T. com-munity and in particular themeeting of the Augmented Fac-ulty council on Wednesday, Jan-uary 14, 1970, expressed intenseinterest in having a detailedstatement of the ways in whichthe Discipline Committee oper-ates and the procedures bywhich it arrived at its decisionsin recent cases such as that ofMichael Albert.

This statement has a twofoldpurpose: (a) to restate the basisand procedures under which theb)Committee on Discipline dur-ing the 1968-1969 academicyear and were reviewed at thattime by Institute legal counseland by independent legal coun-sel. The revised procedures wereadopted by the faculty in thespring of 1969.

Basis and ProceduresIndividual responsibility for

academic achievement, honestyand personal conduct is consis-tent with the assumption thatM.I.T. students come to the In-stitute for serious purpose andare dedicated to education. Thedevelopment of responsibleadults who are professionallyqualified ethically as well as aca-demically, has traditionally beena goal at MIT. The counselingsystem, faculty advisors, the of-fice of the Dean for StudentAffairs and the Medical Depart-ment are available to help stud-ents with advice and guidance inall matters. Problems of conductand.discipline are generally dealtwith in the undergraduate livinggroups through the student jud-icial system. Serious infractions -including all infractions whichmirli -lead to disciplinary dis-qualification - are referred to theCommittee on Discipline. Thiscommittee, which has for manymany years benefited from par-ticipation by collaborators in thestudent body, hears each casethoroughly, and makes judg-ments deemed appropriate forthe -development of the indivi-dual student

Cases may be brought tothe Committee by the mem-bers of Dean's office staff direc-tly on their own initiation or atthe request of individual facultymembers or students appealingthe ruling of a lower judicialbody or the Dean.I Off-campus misconduct willnot be the basis for disciplinaryaction unless it is deerhed by theInstitute a clear and present dan-ger to the functions of the Ins-titute or its reputation. The Ins-titute must determine its juris-diction under this policy foreach case. The student's status asa student in no sense rendershim immune from the regular'legal processes.

In cases brought to the com-mittee, the students rights areprotected by procedural dueprocess. The following proce-dures normally apply:

1. The Committee on Dis-cipline consists of faculty,students and administration.No member of the committeewho is involved in the par-ticular case other than as amember of the Committee,will sit in judgment. Aquorum consists of a majorityof the members.2. The student should benotified in writing of thecharges against him with suf-ficient specificity and in suf-ficient time to prepare for thehearing; and he should beprovided with a copy of theDiscipline Committee pro-cedure.3. The student has a right tobe present at the hearing and

To Members of the \ MITCommunity:

I am writing to report to youon the events of the past fewdays and on the Institute'sactions relating to these events.It is important that we viewthese events with calm and thatwe understand them withouteither overestimating or underes-timating their significance. Irepeat at the outset that ourInstitute is devoting itself to aresolute review of our policiesand programs, but that does notpermit those few who wouldviolently interrupt our progressto keep us from our concerns.Neither, in my view, can wepermit them to commit illegalacts with impunity. Let's keepthis in perspective.

At noon last Thursday,January 15, a rally 'was held inthe lobby of the Rogers Buildingby a group that had presented anultimatum to the Institute witha deadline for 5 o'clock Wednes-day. After the rally a group ofapproximately 100.moved to thecorridor outside the President'soffice. Four masked men brokethe door down with the aid of abattering ram, and. the groupthen occupied the offices of thePresident and the Chairman ofthe Corporation. The group leftat 10:00 on Friday evening.

Upon their entry and at sever-al points throughout the occupa-tion, warnings were issued orallyand by written- notice to theoccupiers informing them thatthey were trespassers and thatthey would be subject to legaland disciplinary action.

The trespassers sealed off thetwo larger rooms and postedguards who forcefully preventedfree access into the receptionarea and the-Chairman's office.Throughout most of the time,only persons who would expli-citly pledge support or whopromised not to testify againstthe trespassers were permitted inthe interdicted area.

Throughout - the 34-hourperiod there were no negotia-tions with the trespassers. Wewere, however, in constant com-m u nication and consultationwith individuals and groups offaculty and students on theproblems and procedures to Weused. In particular, a special Fac-ulty Meeting was held on Thurs-

day at 3:00 p.m. in Room10-250. The many Faculty mem-bers present voted in the courseof a 2%-hour-long meeting over-whelmingly in favor of a resolu-tion condemning the occupationand recommending that appro-priate disciplinary action betaken against the trespassers.

Throughout the period of theoccupation the -educational proLcess and other operations of theInstitue continued unabatedexcept in the small area occu-pied by the trespassers. On Fri-day, however, efforts were madeby some of the trespassing groupto disrupt regular Institute class-es. In one instance, AssociateProfessor Edwin D. Bransome(Department of Nutrition andFood Science) personally escort-ed the disrupters out of theclassroom, while in the otherinstance, Professor EmeritusJohn Wulff (Department of Met-allurgy and Materials Science)was assisted by his students inejecting the intruders from hisclass.

The trespassers, numberingthen around 60, left the officesof the President at about 10o'clock on Friday evening andjoined a meeting in the StudentCenter. At about midnight agroup of about 100 left theStudent Center and made noisydemonstrations in front of thePresident's office, the President'sHouse, and several dormitories.In front of the President's Houseat 111 Memorial Drive, one ofthe demonstrators climbed upto a first floor window andkicked in 'the face one of thecampus patrolmen who attempt-ed to remove him.

The damage in the occupiedoffices was extensive. The tres-passers combined purposefulbreaking into desks and files andthe removal of documents withwanton destructiveness. Rugswere cut,- paintings blotched,desks destroyed,' doors broken,phones torn from their cables,and a series of slogans carved infurniture and written on rugsand walls. The trespassers remov-ed card files and correspon-dence, and three stolen letterswere published by Thursday,one of the student newspapers.

Late on Friday we sought andobtained from the MiddlesexSuperior Court a temporary res-

ohnsontraining order enjoining theoccupation. We -intended toserve this order and remove thedemonstrators had they notleftof their own accord.

As I indicated in a publicstatement on Saturday, 'ouractions in response to the occu-pation were guided by two prin-ciples. On one hand, our respon-sible concern for the.unity andthe future of the MIT commu-nity required us in this instanceto solve our problem, if possible,without bringing the police oncampus; on the other hand, theInstitute could not pay the evenhigher -cost of successful coer-cion by a group that had ram-med its way through the door ofthe President's office. This posi-tion was supported by the fac-ulty at the special meeting lastThursday, and I believe it hasthe support of the M.I.T.community.

The physical occupation ofthe offices is now over, but theact of unlawful trespass by thosewho particapated and who stay-ed in the office despite ourwarning remains the concern ofthis community. I believe wehave dealt with this situationwith considerable restraint. Thefaculty and administration andthe students in several instanceshave tried to'communicate withthose few people fairly andopenly. We are now makingpreparation to bring charges inthreecourts of the Common-wealth against those- numberingperhaps 30 to 40- whom we canidentify as participants in theactions of breaking into andholding theoffices. I have reques-ted counsel for the Institute toprepare the exact nature ofcharges, including trespass,breaking and entering, theft andpublication of Institute files,

-interrruption of classes, and soforth.

I would like to make it clearthat the Institute intends tobring legal charges against thosewho can be identified as partici-pants in the action, whetherthey are members of thiscommunity or not. This actiondoes not exclude internal judi-cial proceedings.

Over the past few years wetried to dealeffectively with oursubstantive problems, includingissues of the continuing evolu-tion of the judicial processes.For this week we have scheduledseveral important meetings withstudent and facuity participationregarding these matters. Eventslike those of last week not onlydelay and disrupt but seriouslyset back the process of progres-sive change. We intend to dealwith these incidents decisively sothat we can go forward with theserious business of this institu-tion.

tified as students and who acti-vely participated in the disrup-tion, Michael Albert was chargedwith " disrespect to the Chair-man of the Committee on Dis-cipline which contributed to thedisruption of the Committee."As the hearing on December 17began a few spectators werepresent. In opening the hearing,the Chairman stated his inten-tion to conduct the hearing in anorderly way and warned thosepresent that departure from or-derly procedures could lead todisciplinary review for studentsand trespass charges againstothers. About forty five minutesafter the opening of the hearinga group of thirty to forty peopleentered the room. This grouphad come from a meeting ofRosa Lumemburg SDS that washeld elsewhere on the campus.Thereafter the group of specta-tors and witnesses engaged incatcalls, clapping and other dis-tractions. On three occaions theChairman warned the group topreserve order. At one-point theChairman asked the spectators toleave the room; they refused todo so. In the course of an ex-change with the CommitteeChairman, Michael Albert order-ed the Chairman to sit down,and generally ignored the Chair-man's requests to return to rea-sonable order. This exchange,which percipitated a disruptionand subsequent adjournment ofthe hearing, formed the basis ofthe charge against Michael

Narrative of the case ofMr. M. Albert

The first case considered inDecember, 1969, which involvedMichael Albert, developed out ofthe events at the PlacementOffice on October 29, 1969,which was examined by theSpecial Panel (the Rogers Panel)on the November Events and theMIT Community. The conclu-sions of the Panel as concernsthe events at the Placement Of-fice are represented by the fosl-lowing quotation:

We believe that the demon-strators participated in a dis-turbance whose level mayhave been such that disci-plinary action is warranted.We therefore recommend anappropriate disciplinary re-view. Furthermore, we re-commend that possible indi-vidual' acts of violence duringthis event be given disciplin-ary review.In accordance with this re-

commendation, the names of allstudents who could be identified"as actively participating in ademonstration in which violencewas present" were given tothe Discipline Committee for re-view. In its examination of thetestimony the Committee endea-vored to separate active partici-pating in the demonstrationfrom mere presence. One stu-dent who appeared before theCommittee was found not tohave actively participated, eventhough he was present, and thecharge against him was dis-missed. Two other students, in-cluding Mr. Albert. were foundto have contributed to the vio-lent pushing and shoving thatoccurred at the Placement Of-fice.

The second case involvingMichael Albert arose from thedisruption of the Committee'shearing held on the evening ofWednesday, December 17. Ofthree persons who could be iden-
