"The purpose of UJS foreignpolicy in the Third World is notto effect a deterioriation inhuman rights. It just'so happensthat many of the conditions wewould.define as an improvementin human rights are not good forUS investment abroad,"Chomsky declared.

The number of political pri-soners in Iran is not known,though many sources refer to100,000 prisoners. The peaceorganization Amnesty Inter-national has called Iran one of theworld's worst violators of humanrights because of the prevalenceof torture in that country.

"Torture frequently leads tofalse confessions," Lefue-Veronsaid, "and the SAVAK has gottena number of people to appear onTV to recant their crimes." She,described one such individualwho experienced a mentalbreakdown after confessing ontelevision.

MIT Professor NoamChomsky, the noted linguist, toldthe audience that, "It is wrong tosay there is no correlationbetween the state of human rightsin a given country and theamount of US aid and support,"he said. An article in theJuly/August i977 issue of

Monthly Review, co-authoredby Chomsky, looked, he said, "ata number, of Third Worldcountries, including Iran, withwhich the US has close relations.We looked at significant dates inthe recent history of each country,and asked how the events of thosedates affected human rights andUS aid.

Te Ho ocaustane Alie inaction

By Bob WassermanNBC's "The' Holocaust", which was shown last week an national

terc, s ion, was almost as popular with the American public as "~Roots"8.lThis could mnean a resurgence of public interest in the Holocaulstslalilr to the stir over geneologies and family histories caused by Alex

Hiales's Roots; and the show based on this story."The Holocaust" as a show has been both criticized and defended

tor histo~rical accuracy and for subject matter in its depiction of theNazis' genocide of 'over ten mzillion people. One subject which has only'touched on, however. is the role of the Allied powers in the Holocaust.Just how% much did the "free" countries o~f the world help the Jews andothers who were being slaughtered in Europe?

The answer, unifortunately, is too little and too late. English and./Nneiecan efforts to rescue Jews during World War 11 were marked by

i nd if fe re n ce andw 49 procrastination.

owess | ou~~~~The real story of the_ _ | 111 L~~~~~A erica role in the

_C ^ ~~~~~~~~~Holocaust begins at thel_ _ 1 I d ~~~~~turn of the twentieth ce~n-_ 3 ~~~~~~~tury, when America passed

its first immigration quotas as result of union pressure. Later, in thei 920' s, the Isolationism movement. swayed public opinion against im:m-1 igralnts even more, and while there was somne economic reason for the

union pressure, most of the opposition was sheer idiocy. At any rate,wshen German Jewus were fleeing the Nlazis in the 1430's America barredtheir immigration and only welcomned brilliant scientists who couldhelp the US build Atomnic bombs,

The British also played their part in denying the Jews a haven~bytheir Palestine White Paper of 1939. This documents set quotas onJewish immigration to British Palestine, although the Jewish corn-munity there was eager for new settlers.

With the beginning of the War in Eu'rope in 1919 and the subsequentNazi occupation of most of Eastern Europe, most of the Jews and Slavsin these countries did not have the chance to escape. Soons after theiroccupation of Poland and Czechoslovakia the Nazis began the mass-murder of Jews and other groups in villag'es, ghettos,' iid later it deathcamps.

Official news of Nazi atrocities did not reach theAllieg-unti thsummer of i1942. and after this followed a long period of American andBritish indifference to the desperate situation of the Jews, HenryMorgenthau, Jr., who was then us Secretary of the- Treasury, saidafterward that the US State Departmenlt did practically nothing aboutthe Jewish problem for eighteen months after August 1942, eventhough "concrete rescue schemes were placed before them". The StateDepartment "even suppressed information" on the Holocaust,,said-Morgenthau.

When action by the Americans and British on behalf of the Jewstfinally did come, it was often even worse then even thie earlier rule of in-action. The Bermuda Refugee Conference, attended by British andAmerican diplomats, was called in 1943 after demonstrations byAmerican jews. This conference could only declare, however, that "itwould be unfair to put nationals who professed the Jewish faith on apriority list for relief" Even worse was a British declaration inDecember 1943 which complained of the "difficulty of disposing-of anyconsiderable number of Jews should they be released from enemy ter-ritory". The use of the word "'disposing" was both tasteless and unfor-tunate.

President Roosevelt had been sympathetic to the plight of the Jews inEurope for a 'while, and in January 1944 he finally relieved the StateDepartment of their rescue responsibilities and established the WarRefugee Board. Still, the US was slow in allowing American Jewishagencies to give money to the Axis powers for the ransom of Jews, forfear that it would help the Nazis. The British even refused to allow thetransferring of private frunds to the Germans for ransom.

Finally, in 1944, the Allies began to take the offnsive in the War inEurope. In Hungary the Nazis were retreating from the Allied armies,but the Arhiericans refused to bomb rail lines which led to Nazi exter-nunation cam ps. The Allies could also have threatened air raids onGerman-occupied cities to stop the Nazis from deporting Jews-or plac-ing them into ghettos. By this time, however, the Nazi genocide of thieJexws had alreadv killed 6 million, and the German military positionwnas con siderable w eakened.

Nora Levin wrote i n hler historical work The Holocautsi: "It is dif-ficult to avoid the conclusion that the Allies had written the Jews off as,M artime caisualties."' The Nazis can never even be partly excused *for thetragedy of the Holocaust. Nevertheless, this terrible episode remainsa reminder of %vorldwide insanity and indifference.

After half a year's deliberations, the MIT C'om-Mmittee on Shareholder Responsibility has come' omtitin favor of retaining MIT's investments in comn-panies with holdings in South Africa and pushing forthe Sullivan Principals through stockholder in-itiatives. The Principals, proposed by black ministerand GM board member Leon'Sullivan, are the fol-low;ing:'.

1 . Non Segregation of the races in all eating,comfort, and work facilities.2. Equal and fair employment practices for allemployees.3. Equal pay for all employees doing equal orcomzparable work for the same period of timze. .4. Initiation of and development of training~programns that will prepare inl substantialnumbers, Blacks and other nonwhite for super-visory, administrative, clerical, and technical jobs.5. Increasing the number of Blacks and othernonwhites In management and'supervisory posi-tions.6. Improving the quality of employees' lives,outside the work environment in such areas ashousing, transportation, schooling, recreation and

health facilities.

We cannot expect these corporations to beprogressive social forces.

To the Editor:I attended the LSC lecture by William Colby. 1,

too, was bothered by the chanting of a group of 1ra-nian students. But I was angered more by the at-titude of the audience. William Colby was directorof the CIA. Senate investigations of the Agency un-covered flagrant abuses of its secret stuatus. TheCIA has been involved in illegal domestic mail open-ings for many years; it conducted surveillance ofAmerican protesters through Operation CHAOSeven though the statute which formed the CIAspecifically disallowed internal security activities.

Abroad, the CIA has used assassination and tor-ture to further its goals -goals determined by Presi-dent or by sources within the Agency itself, not byCongress or the American people. The CIA is a ma-jor cause for the hatred many nations feel for us. TheIranians confronted Colby with questions aboutCIA involvem~ent in numerous countries, and, whenhe denied such activities, onlookers were upset thatthese allegations were continued. Covert activitiesare designed to be hidden; they'are successful only ifno one ever finds out about them. I don't kcnow if theCIA was involved in the assassinations and coupsthat the Iranians accused them of, but you can besure they've been involved in inuch more than weknow of.

The Iranian students were rude; they attempted todeny Colby his right to speak, but elite Americanstudents of elite American universities attempted todo the same when William Shockley wanted to speakabout his research in years past. The Iranians wererude because they were angry; their country isdominated by a repressive regime put in place andkept in place by American interest, in general, andthe CIA, in particular. Iran is terrorized by SAVAK,the Iranian secret police who are trained by the CIA.Those students had reason to believe that the CIAwas reporting their political activism in the UJS toSAVAK and that they would be in danger upon

returning to Iran. Those students knew that 100,000of their people were in prison because of theirpolitical beliefs. Those students were angry.

They called Colby a murderer. Colby supervisedOperation PHOENIX prior to becoming director ofthe Agency. Operation PHOENIX killed 20, 578(CIA figures) suspected National Liberation Frontcadres in South Vietnam. It was not an overtmilitary action; it was a covert activity which killedVietnamese citizens suspected of being communistfreedom fighters.

The majority of the audience got their dollar'sworth. They heard Colby speak, they hooted at theIranians, they laughed when Colby put aside protestwith a snide comment, they applauded him, and theywent home talking about what asses those Iranians

-were. They never stopped to think that those Ira-nians knew what they were talking about, they neverstopped to be ashamed that their government wascarrying onl such illegal and immoral acts, theybelieved Colby's platigudes and misrepresentationswithout question.

Colby was pleasant to listen to. After all, he wastelling how the Agency protects American interestsabroad. Most of their operations may be totallybenign, as he said. But the Agency knows no limits;it has no moral or legal bounds. It has assisted inoverthrowing democratic leftist governments infavor of totalitarian governments simple becausethey were more useful to the United States. Therewas no respect for the rights of the citizens of thosecountries. People who believed in American idealssuch as freedom and democracy were imprisoned orkilled due to actions of your government and mine.

I got my dollar's worth too. I saw Colby play onthe ignorance of his audience, letting the audience'sunfeelingness deal with the Iranians for him. Andwhen I left somehow I knew there would bie letters toThe Tech from people who were angry at the Ifa-nians.' mistreatment of Colby.

feelings. First, not everyone heresees money as paramount. Duringmy time at MIIT I have gone outof my way., to spend time andmake friends with people whovalue helping others above mak-ing money. Admittedly, you areright A. this may affect my careeradversely - but a "successful"career is but one goal. Closefriendships and personal hap-piness are Just as important.

Second, a little acceptance goesa long way. Your next-doorneighbor's comic book collectionor summer job at McIonald'smay seem incredibly boring toyou, but they are interesting tohim. He may not be able to admitit, but he will appreciate someoneto talk with about those things.

And concerning women, whichwomen do you seek out - is it

perienced your pain, and I havefound constructive alternatives.In closing, I thank you again forexpressing your thoughts. I hopethat you will continue the com-munication, either with me orwith The Tech, in the future.

David Anick GApril 24, 1978

To the Editor:I wish to thank you for printing

Brian Donovan's honest ap-praisal of MIT and his own reac-tion to it (Opinion, April 21). Ihope that his style does not ob-scure the feelings he expressestherein. As one who has attendedM1T for five years now, I can un-

-- derstand the sources of Brian'sanger and frustration.

Brian, so much of what you saystrikes home for me. I understandthe rejection you feel when youattempt to share-your enthusiasmfor something (viz., calculators)and get the door shut in your facewith the label 'Nerd!" I unders-tand the isolation you feel whenothers constantly hide or denytheir own feelings. I understandyour confusion and pain whenyou hesitantly approach awoman, only to have her playgames with you or treat you as anobject to abuse. Even worse arethe put-down contests men playwith one another. Either you losequickly, or you end up hatingyourself for the way you have totreat others in order to avoidhumiliation yourslef.

l can understand why you feelhat litfe sucks. So it may be

.a-irthwrhile for you if I share:;mtn o f m-y own experiences and.11o0; i have diealt ,.;h those samrn

only the most attractive ones? Ifso, you are closing yourself off toa large number of potentialfriends. I have found the majorityof women here to be warm andaccepting people. Also, the factthat a particular woman is notready for a relationship with youat this time does not mean thatshe doesn't care or wouldn't wantto be friends on another level.Some of my deepest friendshipshave been with women withwhom I was in no way sexually in-volved.

Lastly, try to be aware thatothers may be experiencing thesame feelings and frustrations asyourself. There is always that stu-dent in recitation who looks morelost than yourself. Try sitting nextto him and saying a kind word.He is not a "nerd" or "turkey";

he is just someone who needs afriend.

I realize that what I have sug-gested is asking a lot, and thatchanging is very difficult. I realizethat most of the people aroundyou may provide rather poormodels of behavior to follow.What I am saying is, I have ex-

Both sonatas proved to be a perfectsetting for viewing the murals, the flowingstyle of the works allowed people to relaxand explore the paintings at their ownpace. Anyone who attended the exhibitSunday evening got the chance to hearShannon perform solo piano improvisa-tions, which were quite good. A commonresponse to the music was to ask whenShannon would be releasing an album ofhis pieces, but he has no such plans'for theimmediate future.

The general reaction to the exhibit wasan Overwhelming "Yes! I like it!" This at-.titude is supported by the fact that over1500 people attended the display. Onereason for'such enthusiasm is that the eventwas entirely student conceived 'andoperated. The exhibit was set up by theGraduate Student Council, with fundingprovided by the GSC, the UA,-and theCouncil on the Arts. Perhaps more exhibitswould be as well attended if thle studentbody had some say in what artworks willbe displayed.

Those students who saw the exhibit willbe happy to know that the Horizon Com--pany will probably return next year. Thosewho didn't see it should not miss it twice.

enhances the depth perceived. Hannock'developed a formula for obtaining the pig-ments he required and, in a room lit onlywith "black" light, began creating hisfascinating landscapes.

The visual portion of the exhibit con-sisted of four large untitled murals, one oneach wall of the room. A common idea isexpressed in these paintings, one that Han-nock calls "a kind of organic architecture,with seemingly man-made structures grow-ing out of the landscapes." The landscapes,if they are set on Earth at all, seem to bescenes from this planet's remote past ordistant future. However, Hannock's mostrecent work is a view between two cliffsthat looks up at a sky with two moons-definitely not an earthly scene. All of thescenes portray a rising or setting sunbecause the artist feels that dawn and duskare "magical times of day that seem torelax people." He purposely leaves hisimages slightly vague so that the viewerdoes not feel confined. The murals takeanytime from one year to eighteen monthsto complete.

The music, Sonata in A Minor andSonata in D Minor, was composed byAndrew Shannon. Shannon performedboth works on various electronic

and headed down the infinite corridor,where the sound of piano playing washeard. A few curious people decided to in-vestigate further and traced the sound to itssource in the Bush Room. Once inside theroom they found themselves looking atfour luminous murals that appeared to bewindows looking out over landscapes ofunearthly worlds. As they gazed, a pianistin the corner created flowing melodies thatformed the perfect atmosphere for viewingthe murals. The Horizon Company wasworking it magic again.

The Horizon Company is a presentationdeveloped by Stephen Willard Hannockand Andrew Shannon. Hannock is thecreator of the murals, and Shannon com-posed the electro-symphonic music.

Hannock's murals are the results ofyears of his experimentation with creatingthree-dimensional textures in his paintingsthrough the use of fluorescent pigments.Ordinary pigments create the image ofdepth by refiecting light from the canvas.which limnits the realism that can beachieved. Fluorescent pigments, whencombined with phosphorescent elementsand viewed under long wave ultraviolet("black") light, create their own light

FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1978 THE TECH PAGE 7 '- --

By Bruce Nawrocki./ lF-.I.S.T. -a United Artists presen-tation starring Sylvester Stallone, RodSteiger, Peter Boyle, and Melinda Dillon.Produced and directed by Norman Jewison..Ngow playing at the Sack 57; Rated PG."It ain't a buncha letters like any other un-ion. It says fist. One fist! That's what weare!" shouted Johnny Kovak (SylvesterStallone) at one of the first rallies forF.I.S.T., the Federation of InterstateTruckers. The movie opens in 1937 anddepicts the conflict between blue-collaraworkers and their bosses and the dif-

ficulties encountered in managing a fledg-ing union. Kovak is a disgruntled factoryworker who lives -with his mother in aCleveland ghetto. He joins F.I.S.T. hopingthat the union will bring -better pay andworking conditions to his fellow workers.Though his zealous work, he is elected tohigher and higher positions of power in theunion.

Early in the film he meets Anna Zerinkas(Melihda Dillon), whom he later marries.Anna works in a factory as a seamstress.She is very shy and seems always on theverge of breaking down, a characterremarkably similar to that played by TalinShire in Rocky.

Abe Belkin (David Huffman), Kovak'sclosest friend joins F.1LS.T. with Kovak,sharing the same goals for the union. Bulslowly they drift apart in their thinking.

Kovak organizes a strike against oneparticularly insidious company ominouslycalled Consolidated. In the ensuing clashbetween union and. non-union labor,Kovak realizes that F.I.S.T. is not power-

ful enough by itself. He enlists the help of afriend of his who has ties with organizedcrime. With that, despite Abe's warningsthat this would result in trouble later,F.I.S.T. wins its demands from Con-solidated, with a little help from somemurders and bombings.

The second half of the film has a muchdifferent mood from the first half. Sudden-ly "Rockin' Robin" is heard and with thistransition, it's now the late 1950's. FoI.S.T.is now a giant union and Kovak becomesthe president. With this, things start tohead downhill. A congressional hearing isheld to determine what part organized.crime has in F.I.S.T. Kovak demands an 8percent cost-of-living increase for the un-ion workers and gets it at a time when in-flation is only 5 percent. Kovak and Abebegin to grow apart.

The film in general is quite enjoyable. Itseems to change its course in midstream,though. The first half has many humorousmoments (much like a Rocky II), while thesecond half, with its emphasis on greed andcorruption, is more grim.

In F.I.S.T. Stalloi:e has a chance to domore dramatic-acting than he did in Rocky.Dillon; however, seems to rarely be on thescreen. Incredibly Anna never voices anopinion about her husband's involvementwith F.I.S.T. Does she really know what'sgoing on? Her character needs to be mademore complete.

The scenes of the 30's and 50's catch thespirit of the times very well. F.LS.T. isquite suspenseful and emotional, in spite ofits shortcomings. (Sylvester Stallone) and Abe Belkin (David Huffman) exhort their men to

strike.

Hakala asked the GA to re-quest that "all- faculty meetingswhich discuss policy affecting stu-dents be open to all students.Reports must be in the library orpublished in the campus press atleast one week before they may bediscussed or voted upon at afaculty meeting ... Policies af-fecting students include, but arenot limited to, changes in theacademic calender, gradingpolicy, tuition, room, and boardfees and policies."

Newman also said that the GAmight be- able to get the StudentCommittee on Educational Policy(SCEP) to computerize theircourse evaluation procedure.

Grading policy is the major is-sue Newman stated. He askedthose present at the meeting totalk with other students to deter-mine the general student senti-ment towards the Ad Hoc Com-mittee on Grading's recommen-dations. Jonathan Hakala '81 dis-cussed the committee's recom-mendations. Hakala concluded,"The grading committee neverreally studies the possible effectsof their proposal. The real issueshould be how to improve oureducation - the goal should beeffective counseling by all ad-visors, effective teaching by allfaculty and exceptional perfor-mance by all students."

an active role in coordinatingsocial events on campus. The GAis taking over the.Lobby 7 bul-letin board-8 transforming it intoan Institute calendar to announcesocial events, meetings of studentgroups, meetings of Institutecommittees and other relevant ac-tivities. "Getting information outto students should be one of themain function of GA," assertedNewman.

The UA social budget,Newman revealed, 'will be spenton "small events that can mixfaculty and students" or large ac-tivities that do not shut out largefactions of the student body.Newman maintains' that currently"people are being excluded fromundergraduate activities."

Several committees were es-

No official action was taken bvthe GA at the meeting which onklasted 30 minutes. The absence ofa viable constitution for the GAforces it to operate on an unof-ficial basis.

Newman also distributed adescription of the procedure forcopywriting a thesis and he en-couraged all students at themeeting to make-an effort to in-form seniors Of this procedure.

By Jordanna HollanderThie 'BU exposure's application

for preliminary relief in its suitagainst Boston University wasdenied Wednesday, April 19 byJudge Alan J. Diamond of theSuffolk Superior Court.

The newspaper requested thatthe court force BU to releasefunds it had allocated to the ex-posure but had frozen. The judgesaid that it was not within thecourt's jurisdiction to intervene ina policy dispute. The court alsofound that the paper could notshow that irreparable harm wouldfollow if the funds were notreleased.

exposure staff member SteveKohn said that staff was"somewhat dissappointed but notshocked" by the court's decision.According to Kohn, the paper's

attorney Michael Posner hadwarned them that preliminary-relief was rarely granted unlessthe evidence that irreparableharm would be caused was verystrong or the case clearly sup-ported the plaintiffs.

In a statement released byWesley Christiansen of the BUPubtS Relations Department, hesaid that, "This should put to restonce and for all the unfounded al-legation that Boston Universityhas been violating first amend-ment rights of the BU exposure,"

Kohn called this statement "er-aroncous" and added that the suithad been denied only in apreliminary hearing, in which thetwo attorneys presented their casebriefly and without any testimonybeing used. Kohn said that the ex-posure would now take their suit

to a civil court and expected itwould take about a year beforethe case went to trial.

At the end of his statement,Christiansen said that the ex-posure was not a newspaper but"a political journal, and it doesnot adhere .to practices thatserious journalists cherish andemploy as part of their craft."Kohn responded by calling thestatement another example of thelies and distortions made by theBU administration.

According to Kohn, the ex-posure will cor.tinrue publishingwhile waiting for their suit to bebrought to trail. In the meanwhilethey will support the paperthrough fund-raising activities,benefits, subscriptions and adver-tising.

By Ed MarcusEight MIT sailors represented

the men's sailing team at thisyear's Kennedy Cup held at An-napolis, Maryland. Held in theNaval Acadamy's forty-four footyawl rigged yachts, the KennedyCup is the national intercollegiatebig boat championship. EricGreene '79, an experienced off-shore yachtsman, skippered theMIT boat throughout the threeday competition to lead MIT toan overall second for the series.-The first two days of racing

were very close as several of thetop crews from around the nationmaneuvered their boats aroundthe short race courses. DIespite thesecond day's high winds, MIlT'sexceptional boathandling andconsistently well sailed raceshelped move the MIT team intothe lead for the final day's corn-petition.

The third day brought erraticwinds and bad luck to the MITboat. A poor sixth race start andan inopportune wind shift in the

sp. rtinDue to schedule problems, the

dates for intramural fencing havebeen changed to May 1-5. Allmatches will be held in the even-ing. Rosters are due April 27 at5pm. Note: this is EARLIERthan previously stated.

·Ir�P,C�F c�--·CI,

By Tom CurtisThis Sunday, the- Greater

Boston-, Collegiate Athletic As-sociation Track and Field Cham-pionships will be held at MIT inthe new Steinbrenner Stadium.This will be the biggest sportingevent at MIT in years; to makethis even more of a special occa-sion, Steinbrenner Stadium willbe officially dedicated at 1:30pmbefore the finals.

The field for the meet includesfour NCAA Division I teams,Boston College, Boston Univer-sity, Harvard, and Northeastern,and three NCAA Division IIIteams, Brandeis, Tufts, and hostMIT.

The MIT track team willpotthe second-best record of anyteam in the meet. The Beavers arecurrently 3-1. Their most recentvictory came last weekend whenthey nipped WPI, 79-71, atWorcester. In that meet, JimTurlo '80 set a new MIT highjump record of 6'91/4'. The weekbefore, MIT barely shaded Bow-doin, 82-81, at Brunswick, Maine.Sweeps in the long jurn'mp,steeplechase, and 120-yard hur-dles led to the victory. In a tri-meet at the beginning of theseason, MIT beat Bates and lostto UNIH.

In the Greater Bostons, MIT'sbest chances for points are in thehigh jump where Turlo shouldfinish near the top and in the 110-meter hurdles where Turlo, RichOkine '78, and John Wozniak '79all could place among the topfive. Barry Bayus '79 could placein the steeplechase and Steve-Sif-fer[en '78 could score in the dis-cus.

The overwhelming favorite towin the meet is. Northeastern.Northeastern is' rated as the bestteam in New England and theteam's record proves it-- theteam is undefeated in dual meetsand was victorious over 21 othercolleges in the-BC relays. Ac-cording to Northeastern SportsInformation, the team's onlyweakness is in the javelin which

happens to be a universalweakness among the entrants.

Harvard is the most colorful ofthe teams entered in the GreaterBostons. When the Crimson metNortheastern earlier this season,the team members -dressed asmembers of the rock group Kiss.There are rumors that they willdress as the Boston Red Sox forthe Greater Boston.

BC and BU are both mediocrefor Divisio I teams. Both lost bigto Northeastern. In head-to-headmeetings, BC-has nipped BUtwice.

Brandeis and Tufts, like MIT,will have to scramble for points ina few selected events. Neitherteam has enough depth to chal-lenge the big schools. Tuftsfeatures as its coach Pete Close,former MIT cross country and as-sistant track coach.

The expected-order of finish is,

Northeastern; Harvard; BC; BU;Brandeis; MIT; and Tufts. WhileBrandeis is not superior to MIToverall, the Judges should finishhigher in the Greater Bostonsbecause of their greater numberof outstanding performers.

The teams to watch in the runn-ing events are Northeasterrn, BC,BU, Brandeis, and Tufts. In thefield events, watch Northeastern,Harvard, and -MIT. The bestevents to watch will be the highjump and 100- and 200-nieterdashes. Five of the teams say theyhave strong contenders in theseevents.

Unlike most MIT sportingevents, which are free, the GreaterBostons will have an admission-fee of $1.00 with student ID. Theday's activities will -begin ati0:45am.- The finals will beginafter the dedication ceremoniesand end about 4:15pm.

By David Wilson(Editor's note: David Wilson G isthe assistant track coach)

Worcester P1lytech won thefirst eight events Saturday andbuilt up a 47-21 lead before MITcaught fire and won the next eightevents and the crucial mile relay,to win the meet 79-75. The winwas the sixth straight againstWPI, and extended this year'srecord to 9-3.

Outstanding performarnceswere given by Jim Turlo '80, andRich Okine '77, each scoring 13points. Turlo boosted his ownschool record to 6'9V41 to win thehigh jump over an impressive6'6/4' by Reid von Borstel '78, aformer holder of the record at6'8". Jim also led a sweep of the120 yard high hurdles, running15.2 seconds and placing secondin the long jump. Okine con-tributed key wins in the 100 and220 yard dashes with times of 10.1and 22.6 seconds. He also took se-cond in the hurdles at 15.3 se-conds.

Other wins were scored bySteve Sifferlen '78 in the discus(and second in the hammer), FredBerretta '79 in the 440, CaptainJohn Dillon '78 in the 880, andJohn Wozniak '79 in the in-termediate hurdles. The meet wasfinally won on-the mile relay withJim' Dunlay '79, Dillon, FrankLuedtke '81, and Berretta, turn-ing in a pressure performance.

THe previous Saturday, theteam won another close gameagainst a favored Bowdoin squad,82-81. Turlo was also a top per-former, with wins in the highjump, long jump and hurdles.Another key performance was

Lenny Nasser's '80 fine com-petitive win in the mile. Everypoint counted.

Sunday, the Greater BostonCollegiate track championshipswill be held at MIT, and at 1:30the new . Steinbrenner Stadiumwil be dedicated. Many out-standing competitions are an-ticipated. Top prospects fromMIT are Turlo and von Borstel inthe high jump, Turlo and Okinein the hurdles, Sifferlen in thehammer and discus, and DwayneHorton '81 in the javelin. Turlohas.the best outdoor height in theNew England Championships.He is just getting back to speedafter' a winter layoff and couldupset the favorites.

Everyone is welcome to comeand spectate. Field events andtrials begin at 10:45 and go on allday. Running finals begin aroundnoon.

Crew on an upswingBy Jim Van Dusen

MIT's women's crew program has been growing very rapidly, bothin parlcipation by students, and through an increase in quality offacilities and equipment.

Established as a varsity sport in 1973, the women's team has sincefielded consistently better and larger teams. Now that MIT competesagainst the powers in women's rowing, their performances are beingtested to the limit.

The varsity boat, composed of bow Robin Miles '79; 2, CaptainMary Z;awadzki '78; 3, Laura MacGuinite'80; 4, Susan Temple '80; 5,Liz Fisher '80; 6, Diane Medved '80; 7, Cindy Cole '79; stroke, JoanWhitten '80; and coxswain Charlene Nohara '79, has held a respectable3-3 record this season.

The crew bounched back from last Saturday's loss to Yale andPrinceton to beat Connecticut College Sunday by a 6:22.8 to 6:24.5margin.

The effort by the varsity is far better than records show, as MIT com-petes largely against crews that are larger than itself.

"Generally, other schools' crews outweigh ours by some 10-15pounds per oarswoman.", claims coach John Miller '74 a former MITheavyweight. "Women's rowing has not grown to the point whereschools can afford to race both heavyweight and lightweight crews asmost do in men's rowing, so our crews end up racing really tough,heavy crews. They've still done really well."

The depths of the varsity and junior varsity squads show up in theraces of the second boat. Competitions coming as close as one secondor less have generally gone against this boat. But, "close race also in-dicate that the crew is competitive." according to Miller. "The JV boathas been getting tougher with each race. They are doing extremely wellwith a 2-5 record, for they are incredibly outsized."

The varsity and JV crews were bolstered this year by the return of 13of the more consistent performers from last year's approximately 30novices. Last year's novices were beating many JV crews, and finishedwith an impressive 7-2 record.

The novice team this year, while not nearly as large in number as lastyear's squad, has the depth of a larger team. Novice coach Doug Looze'74, also a former MIT heavyweight, has had to make some hardchoices as far as who ends up in which boat. "There are five or sixwomen in the second boat who are just barely out of the first boat. Thisdepth is shown by the second novices' 4-1 record.", said Loozeo

In the first novice boat are Cheryl Seeling in bow; 2, WizzyMarkham; 3, Sandy MacCauley; 4, and captain, Faith Alexandre; 5,Chris Taylor; 6, Adra Smith; 7, Susan Stulz; stroke, Susan Flint; andcoxswain Carolyn-Cook.

AI! of the women's crews will race river-rivals Boston University andNortheastern, Saturday. Miller and Looze know that their crews,although once again outsized, will be in there fighting.
