"Continuous News Service

By Greg BernhardtThe slate of candidates changed

once agai Saturday as James A. Smithre-entered the race for UndergraduateAssociation President.

Smith had withdrawn from therunning Monday evening, March 3,after the belated reentrance of DickEvans as a write-iii candidate. Prevrious-Iy Smith had stated Mthat he would notoppose Evans. Smith's name willappear on the ballot because, prior towithdrawing, he had completed thepetiton1 requirements.

Posters for a third write-incandidate, Arnold B. Thale, were beingdistributed widely at the end of theweek. -Thale is supposedly treasurer ofTangent, the student literary magazine.His name, however, is not fisted in thestudent directory and StudentInformation knows nothing about him.Nor did the people in the Tangentoffilce either, although his name is on astaff list prepared long before thecampaign.

In a press statement, Thaleexplained Hthat,"I fanky admit that Ihope to enjoy being UAP. If this makesme a backer, I am not ashamed. Iwouldn't want tie post if I didn't thinkit would be fun."

The campaign itself continuedwmith the candidates speaking at the,various livig groups. Tomorrow aftr-

no~on, all candidates and proponents ofthe proposed constitutions will engagein a, debate to be held in KAmp at2PM. The debate will cover both theUAP elect'ion and the constitutions to -appear on the referendum.

Alleged FBItplot removealedAt U of -Mich gan camnpus

By Roger Rapaport and Iavy K~irshbtaumANEN ARBOR, Michigan, March 3. (CPS)- On a rriap of world

espionage, Ann Arbor, Michigan, doesn't even rate a pin. Like mostcollege towns, the home of the University of Michigan is shutteredevery evening by 9PM- hardly a lure for secret agents accustomed tosoirees in Zurich, Berlin, or London.

It was also announced Sundaythat the list of names of enteringfreshmen will not bee available untilsometime after final examinations,rather than before spring vacation, ashad been previously considered. TheIFC will discuss the possibility of earlyrelease of names nexLt year for purposesof spring vacation visiting, however.

Four proposals which were pre-sented to the rush chairmnen includedthie Katsiaficas pIoposal, the Truitt-proposal, the Kappa Sigma proposal,

and the Sigma Chi proposal.The Truitt proposal begins rush

on Monday of Rush Week, after thlefreshmen have had a day of Instituteorientation and meetings. It containstwo moratoriums on rushing from 9AMto 12AM on Wednesday and Thursday,duing which the freshmen wouldattend meetings and see theirx advisors.Bidding and pledging are not permitteduntil 2PM on Wednesday' and Thursdayrespectively.

The Katsiafilcas proposal is simni-lar, with the principal difference beingthat there is only one moratorium,which occurs on Wednesday morningbefore bids axe given out. lBot theKatsiaficas, and Truitt proposals includ-ed a smoker late in thie- week for

Our investigation shows it islikely that Smith enjoyed the tacit ordirect approval of the FBI on the plot.There is no proof that the CIA wasreally in on the plan, and the "Opera-tion Textbook" document could be aforgery. But it seems incredible thatthe FBI (an agency which fired a clerkbecause his girlfriend slept on his couchovernight) was not aware of Smith'sactivities while in their employ. EvenSmith's fathier, a high- ranking officerwith the Detroit Police Department,was aware of the conservative studentgroup and encouraged it.

Lden Smith has always been anenigma to his friends. His blond hairand boyish frame create an impressionof earnest adolescence, yet in somerespects he has achieved a maturity'beyond his years. Chris Frizell, aneasy-going junior who dated him formore than a year explains, "He likedmore sophisticated dates, gettingdressed up and going to dinner. After a-semester of getting mauled at fraternity,parties, Lee was a welcome relief." Ajournalism major with a C average, hebelonged to the Evans Scholar frater-nity.

But this fall, a 21-year-old seniornamed Leonard Smith, officiallyemployed as a nighttime clerk for theFBI in Detroit, tried to carry out anincredible plan for subverting studentactivism in Ann Arbor.

His proposed venture was titled'Operation Textbook," spelled out on

a two-page Xeroxed decument underCIA letterhead. In three phases,'Operation Textbook" called fer (1)organiing a conservative student alli-ance to 'permeate every facet of thestudent activist fife' with covertAgency support; (2) usinlg FBI contactsto keep "New L~eft organizations andstudent radical goups in internadisruption from within"; and (3) theactual "interruption, destruction, and'intervention in New Left affairs,"under "Agency supervision."

To carry out Phase I, Smithtried to Idit several old friends intocollaboration with promises of freerent and future government jobs.Frightened, one of his confidantsexposed the plan to University ofMichigan President Robben Fleming,and al? embarrassed FBI had to fumblefor an explanation: that Smith was"acting on his own."

Coed housing,The Corporation has approved two

Visiting Committee on Student Affairsproposals concerning parietals and off-campus housing for coeds.

· At their March meeting, the mem-bers of the Corporation voted to alloweach individual living group to deter-mine its parietal situation. This was inresponse to many requests from stu-dents that they be given control of theestablishment of visiting hours forwomen.

New film on

parietal proposals accepted

May releaseA new film designed to give high

school students and other groups anidea of what life at MIT is like is in thefinal stages of preparation. Ready lastweek was a preliminary version madeby David Espar '67, now a graduatestudent in filmmaking at Stanford.

Mr. Francis Wylie of the PublicRelations Office, which is sponsoringthe project, said May 1 is the targetdate for completion of the film, partlyso that it may be shown at Open HouseMay 3. The PR office hopes to attain awide distribution of the film to highschool audiences and reported that theAlumni Association .has also showninterest.

The focus of the film is on under-graduate life with special emphasis onactivities not related to science andengineering, said Wylie, since interestedhigh school students already know of

date expectedMIT's scientific reputation. He relatedthat the film would reflect studentinterest in the humanities, art, and theimprovement of society. "It is notgoing to be a conventional collegefilm," he reported.

Espar began work on the film lastAugust and did the filming on campuslast fall. He has since been alternatingvisits to Cambridge with editorial workon the film at Stanford. His wife hashelped with sound work.

Dick Evans, an undergraduate whoviewed the preliminary version, said thilefilm's aim is to present an image ofMIT as it really is.

Len was fascinated with thepolitical applications of fighting crime."When he talked about communism,"says Sue Wilder, a close friend, '"youcould close your eyes and think youwere hearing J. Edgar Hoover himself."Last February, Lee became a full-timenight-shift clerk in Detroit with thehope of attending special-agent trainingschool after graduation.

The FBI refused to discuss hisduties, except to confirm that he was aclerk. The Detroit Director, PaulStoddard, says, "A clerking experienceis like becoming a mason: you learnhow to lay the bricks."

Apparently a good apprentice,Len Smith quickly branched out intoresponsibilities which took him outsidethe office. He carried an unregisteredconcealed weapon and an official FBIidentification packet that included agovernment vehicle operator's license.

Smith also had access to theentire Detroit headquarters in the Fed-eral building. Chris Frizell recalls anevening last spring when Len took herthere for a royal tour. She saw DirectorStoddard's office, the well-stocked gunvault, the card files on radicals, even

the exxlusive and unlisted eleventhfloor of the building where thecommunications equipment is kept. Inthe presence of another agent, JimSturgis, Len described an excitingmission earlier that evening when theyhad stalked a top-ten criminal.

By the end of the summer,Smith landed a big back-to-schoolassignment, which arrived in anunmarked envelope. Inside a two-pagedocument with CIA letterhead spelledout the three-phase "OperationTextbook" plan; he says that he alsoreceived verbal instructions to set upthe student alliance. In early August,he began telling close friends that hewas now "working for the CIA underthe FBI cover."

This admission was not an indiscre-tion. Len had made a conscious deci-sion to try to build the conservativestudent alliance from a basis of close-friends. The first man he tapped, infact, was John Bologna, a fellowDetroiter. A mild-mannered economicsmajor, Bologna is hardly a politicalorganizer; he enjoys spending his freetime relaxing in front of a television setor at Ann Arbor's leading beer hall, thePretzel Bell. But Len is a persistent andpersuasive friend.

After a summer outing in AnnArbor, he popped the question: wouldBologna ecome acting head of theCSA? The latter, skeptical at first,could hardly afford to pass up theopportunity, even though it meantmoving out of the Evans Scholar House

For the moment, the operationbecame a family affair: Mrs. Smithbattered out the preamble on an oldtypewriter, and Mr. Smith suggestedspeakers. He also promised to ask afriend at the Detroit Press Club(columnist Al Blanchard of the DetroitNews) to cover the alliance's firstmeeting. In early August, heartned bythe support, John and Len dropped offcopies of their preamble at the homesof potential speakers- twoconservative state legislators.

To elaborate, while agreeing thatfor the past year Inscomm has beenimpotent and irrelevant, I must believethat its personnel were more culpablethan its structure. The basic problemswere a lack of communication betweenthe students and their government andfaculty, and administration recognition

The UAP should be a student who is vitallyconcerned about protecting and furthering theinterests of students within the Institute com-munity. He should ,be interested in the issues thatface the Institute and its students. He should standready to build a new student government whichadresses itself to the issues at hand and inform thestudent body about decisions which affect them. Hemust be forceful and determined when he feels thathe is in the right. In short, he must,be prepared tomake student government relevant and potent.

While we differ with him on some issues, we feelthat of the candidates currently running, MikeAlbert offers the best approximation to a UAP whowill fulfill these requirements. Dick Evans, HaroldFederow, and Jim Smith are also worthy of consid-eration for other positions on the preferentialballot.

No one has been more irrepressible than MikeAlbert in defending students' interests and addres-sing himself to issues with which the Institutecommunity should be more concerned. He hasaroused opposition, of course. No one can advocatechange or question established assumptions withoutarousing opposition.

Albert has done more than advocate change,however. He has demonstrated the interest anddetermination to do the sort of research which is anecessity if a proposal for change is to be well-defended. Albert was a leader in the Ad HocCommittee for Change which examined the possi-bility of a revised system of Institute requirements.Last summer, he conducted a comprehensive studyfor the Institute in which he examined.its job-training procedures and its relation to the com-munity.

Some might have reservations that Albert mightnot be able to work within the system. Although hisdecision to run for UAP might itself serve to suggestthat there is indeed a "new Albert," we take his

expressed desire to work within the proposed HACgovernment (which has also -been endorsed bynearly all major UAP candidates and by the IFC) assufficient evidence that Albert is ready to workwithin thfe framework of student government tospark student concern for vital issues.

Some might object that Albert cannot deal withmembers of the faculty and administration. Whilehe is anethema to some for his political views, manyprominent Institute officials who know him as aperson and not as a political symbol have consider-able regard for his personal concern and drive tobring about change.

Albert recognizes that his political views are atodds with much of the Institute community. He hasstated that the appointments he will make, however,will come from a broad spectrum of the studentbody. He has also stated that he will not act inbehalf of the student body in advocating changeunless it is clear that the student body as a wholesupports the proposal in question. He has said thathe would probably hold mass student meetings inorder to explain his positions and to discuss theissues with the students.

We support Mike Albert for his demonstrateddepth of concern and determination to get studentgovernment involved in the crucial issues which hehas mentioned in his platform. His desire to appointcommittees to examine areas such as the advisorysystem and the city's housing crisis is certainlycommendable. We do wish to dissociate ourselves,however, from his positions of an, end to allwar-related research and the abolition of all courserequirements.

Toward the end of making student government aforum for active student participation in discussingthe important issues that concern them, we stronglyurge the student body to write in.Mike Albert forUAP.

In trying to 'represent' students itpolarizes the Institute by stratifying itinto three divisions - students, facultyand administration. No government,not even a 'unified" one, as long as itadmits these kinds of differences willregard the university as it really is - abody of people who work together,who would not naturally form thesehorizontal divisions but instead wouldform vertical groups of students, facul-ty and administration brought togetherby their similar concerns and idealo-gies. The major problem is not repre-

sentation but comm'unication - com-munication about the Institute, thepeople in it, what they are doing andtheir variousopinionsand feelings. It is

-difficult and time-consuming work.It is physically impossible for one

person (the UAP) to effectively bringabout this communication, let alone dosomething about all the issues andinterests brought to his attention. In aneffort to cope with this task, either hegives up everything else in his life anddries up inside as a person, his lifebeing totally involved with externalmatters leaving neither time nor energyto keep a decent academic load, far less

'be a full, living human being, or else hebecomes frustrated and flames until heloses all his effectiveness or finally hegives up. If he doesn't take it to heart,he can stick it out - just going tomeetings, signing checks, listening togripes - but there is no hope if hecares.

We are fortunate in that we take forgranted many of the freedoms thatother students in schools across thecountry are striving for. If you reallywant to do something it is usuallypossible to achieve it. The mechanismscould become more open, and accom-modate students as a matter of courseIN THE STRUCTURE, as an integralpart - not as students but as humanbeings on their own merits, for theirabilities. Board and the various activi-ties essentially perpetuate themselvesanyway, and any group that is felt tobe absolutely necessary will grow ofitself. The bureaucracy and institution-alization of students and their interestshampers and stifles their desire to dotheir 'own thing'.

The referendum has options for 3different types.of government but itdoes not include the option of noformal student government. I believethis is a realistic alternmative ahd onewith the best long-termnn implications,but it will take maturity and under-standing, Instead of electing a UAP theUndergraduate Associationi could electa small number of people (perhaps 5)to handle communications in as manyways as possible and evolve the integra-tion of the university commuriity.These people would not be studentpoliticians but would be concernedwith notifying students about meetingsand committee openings, soliciting stu-dent opinion on specific issues, andinforming students about what is hap-pening in these meetings and whatthese various committees are doing.

Ih order to include this option myfriend Charlie Penguin is running as awrite-in candidate for UAP.'If he winshe wif run the election of this smallgroup of people and then abolish stu-dent government.

Student government is a pheno-menon of the past - of the days whenstudents who were interested inmanagement (student politicians) usedit as an entrance qualification for grad-uate school. It is not and never will be'representative' at MIT. In whateverform it is or whatever it professes todo, it will only attract certain types ofpeople and many students will not payattention to it.

Freshman Pass Fail: First results and evaluation(Ed. note: This article is based onextensive discussion with teachers,advisors,- freshmen, and upperclassmen.Use was also made of limited writtenfeedback.)

By Charles MannThe'first term of the pass fail

experiment is over and the first indica-tions of the success and problems ofthe new grading system are visible. Thechanges have not been obvious or, atleast on the surface, drastic.

No greater number of freshmenfailed core courses last term than failedthem last year; no more freshmen wereput on probation. Instead of grades,the freshmen and their instructorsmade evaluations, more or less inparagraph form, of each freshman'sprogress.

Intended to foster an attitude ofcooperation. and personal contactbetween student and teacher, the evalu-ation forms did appear to provide asomewhat more realistic basis for guid-ance and direction of the freshman'sefforts. The freshmen were, in nearlyall cases, more thoughtful and pain-staking in their evaluations than theirprofessors. As might be expected, theHumanities faculty came closest tomatching the students' care in judge-ment of progress.

This more mature approach tolearning is one of the things that passfail is supposed to do. But if it is to besuccessful in this respect, two thingswill be required. First, both studentsand teachers must do an effective jobof evaulating student progress; studentand teacher must work together toestablish verbal communication. Sec-ond, students must appreciate pass failas freedom and not license.

Verbal dialogueThe verbal dialogue and concern

on the part of the teacher for thestudent as an individual ate, apparently, the things that are going to bemost difficult to achieve. Most profes-sors are simply not in the habit ofestablishing any contact with their stu-dents. As long as there was a system ofletter grades, the only effort requiredon the part of the teacher (except,

perhaps, in humanities classes) was theranking of all the members of the classby some numerical method and theassignment of a grade to each personby the ranking. Personal contact neces-sary: none.

Now the professor is called uponto state, in some detail, not just howthe student is doing compared to therest of the class, but where he needs towork, in what areas his competencelies, and how effectively he is reallylearning the material. Obviously, theinstructor has the problem of having todeal with a large number of people andhas to spread his efforts somewhatthinner than his students. The onlypossible solution to that dilemma is thereduction of class size, an option that isalready a clear trend in the greater partof the educational system.

Interaction importantThe interaction between advis-

ors and freshmen is the second impor-tant part of the freshman experiencethat pass fail has influenced. Most ofthe advisors have positive feelingsabout the effectiveness of the newsystem as a realistic means of deter-mining the student's progress and manythink that the written evaluations are apositive factor in guiding the fresh-man's efforts. The duties of the advisorare multiplied by the freedom that passfail gives.

No longer must the freshmengive equal time to all his academicresponsibilities. He has the alternativeof concentrating on those which aremost-- worthwhile for him withouthaving to worry very much about theeffect on the others. There is, ofcourse, the temptation to just spendthe maximum amount of time hacking,and some freshmen (but, apparently,no huge portion) have chosen to do so.The advisor should help to guide thefreshmen in making decisions about theallocation of the time availablebetween different classes, living groupactivities, extracurricular pursuits, andtime spent doing nothing.

The same problem of time andeffort spent in establishing a personalrelationship crops up again here. It is

technically only necessary to see one'sadvisor only a few times each year (tohave a program approved, etc.) and thisis certainly not enough time for theadvisor to get to know the freshmenassigned him well enough to be of anyreal help as a guide.

If all the potentialities of passfail are to be realized, the advisors mustgo considerably beyond the formalrelationship that now is the usual case.It has been suggested that freshmenshould have as their advisor theirinstructor in one of the core courses, asa method of establishing a relationshipthat crosses. over the boundariesbetween academics, advisors, counsel-ors, and, hopefully, friends. Since notevery freshman is responsible or evenknowledgeable enough to make all theright decisions and pass fail does sub-stanially increase the number of alter-natives available, the position of theadvisor is made even more delicate thanbefore.

Adjustment of maladjustment

The advisor has, as a primary

duty, the job of making sure that thefreshman can make a suitable "adjust-ment" to .IIT. Pass fail, in this respect,is of considerable aid. In the expositionof objectives of the pass fail experi-ment, it was noted that it seemed thatthere could not be grades withouthaving the students become excessivelyconcerned about them, and that theonly way (or, at least, the most prac-tical way) of eliminating the problemsthat concern over grades causes wouldbe to eliminate the grades.

Well, grades have been elimi-nated, and no longer does the freshmanhave any exact way of ranking himselfin competition with his fellow class-mates. No longer can he feel he mustwork as hard as he can for as long as hecan in order to earn an A. No longercan the A student in high school bediscouraged by receiving a C at MIT.On the other hand, no longer is -therethe-pressure which makes a studentstop playing cards and pick up hisphysics book.

Okay, so the pressure (at least,the external pressure) of grades is gone.

- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~-

The interesting thing is the seeminglack of response to that freedom. Nogreater number of freshmen are invol-ved in extracurricular activities, thoughit is impossible to say if those who arehave done more in their respectiveareas. What about selective attendanceat classes? Both MIT and Caltech havehad poor first year chemistry courses.When Caltech started pass fail, fresh-men stopped going to chemistry. Thecourse literally fell to pieces. Caltechnow has an entirely new first yearchemistry program. There was nosignificant decrease last term in thenumber of people who attended 5.01or the effort they expended.

Another of the objectives thatwas slated for the experiment is thelessening of the demands that coresubjects make, so that the freshmanyear could be used to explore variousfields and broaden the backgrounds ofthe freshmen. The number of units thatfreshmen carried last term was, asexpected, up from last year. This is one

(continued from page 4)of the resulting separation of Institutecomlmittee from the UndergraduateAssociation. The Senate proposal solvesthese problems, thus making a substan-tial improvement in student govern-ment.

The problem of communicationis attacked in two ways. First, theUndergraduate Forum. Here the stu-dent has the opportunity to make hisgovernment more relevant. The forumserves the undergraduate student as anassurance that his government knowshis wishes and will act on his request.The forum's power to introduce origin-al legislation is certainly enough tomake your noble attempt at labeling itconstitutionally powerless at failure.Second, living group representatives tothe Senate are not required to be thepresidents of their living groups. Thischange from the previous constitutionis designed to allow Senate members tobe primarily representatives to theundergraduate government - not busyexecutives of other organizations, towhom Institute-wide government takessecond place.

When the administration and fac-ulty see that the new undergraduategovernment is significantly moreresponsive to the student body thanInsComm was, they will changestudent-faculty relationships. Studentgovernment representatives will replaceindividual students working within thefaculty and administration only whenthe government proves itself to berelevant. It cannot be done just bywriting a constitution.

In closing I would like to compareSenate vs. Assembly vs. HAC. (1) Size.

opportunity that the freshman class has

taken advantage of.In addition to the extra time for

electives (even though a low ceiling wasset on the maximum load), the lack ofpressure gives the freshman a chance tolook at his courses as interestingmaterial to be learned, rather than abattle to be fought.

Of course, not everyone isentirely happy with pass fail. Someadvisors feel that their students are notworking as hard as they would underthe grading system, and that this is adefinite disadvantage. Some students (avery few per cent) feel that theycannot work effectively without thepressure of being graded.

Of all the factors which workagainst the success of pass fail, themost frustrating is the effect of theattitude of upperclassmen, who tell thefreshmen (and their advice is oftenfollowed) to "tool hard" and forgetabout pass fail. After all, the Instituteis out to screw them, isn't it?

Being a smaller body the Senate is.much more efficient and is easier towork with. Freshman and Sophomorecouncils offer examples of the ineffi-ciency of larger bodies. HAC's GeneralAssembly can conduct business with aquorum of 1/4. Why is the figure so low?Don't the authors expect that therepresentatives will be more interest?Are they haunted by the spectre ofmeeting adjourned - lack of qu'orum?(2). Representation. In the Senate pro-posal any student who acts will be surethat his proposal will be brought beforethe government. His ideas and those ofother interested students will be pre-sented to the Senate. HAC and Assem-bly offer no such guarantee to theindividual. (3). Students on facultycommittees. There is no reason toassume that the Senate or Assemblywould not-set up a nominations com-mittee such as that described in HAC ifthey felt that it would receive thenecessary student faculty and admini-stration support. The decision to do soshould rest with the elected govern-ment, not with the authors of theconstitution. (4). Class government.HAC has no provision for class govern-ment. Who will run Junior Prom? Whowill organize participation in FieldDay? (5). Participation. The Under-graduate Forum in the Senate Proposalis the only way for an interestedstudent to become involved in hisgovernment without being eitherappointed or elected.

In view of the above comparisons Ican only urge you readers to join me invoting for the Senate proposal on the13th.

social conventions here much moreeffective?). Unable to adjust, they runafoul of the Happiness Squad (admini-stration? Campus Patrol?), a carefreebunch of police under orders from thegreat leader, -who prides himself forsolving all of the place's problems bytotally eliminating their causes.

Not enough satireAll these mocks are in the script, to

varying degrees, and all look promising..,But there just wasn't time to carrythem through, and the writers had tofall back on standard one-liners andsight gags. Admittedly, a lot of themare funny-they're just not very impres-sive. By far the wittiest are the severalscenes showing activities of a radicalorganization, Students for a DismalSociety (no elucidation needed); themockery of over-zealous campus revo-lutionaries is funny and on the mark.There just isn't enough of it.

Of course, Tech Show isn't only aplay, it'a musical; so something shouldbe said about the music. Somethinglike: why do most of the songs soundlike traditional show tunes, when that'sthe last sort of music Tech studentswould want to hear? Again, probably

by Konert rourer"To ascribe much social significance

to the play would be an error. At firstwe set about to satirize certain generaldirections in which society seems to bemoving, but soon realized that no sati-rization could do justice to what isalready' here." Tech Show's entertain-ing program notes sound like a cleverintroduction to an admittedly unclverterm paper-one that consumed thewhole term in lazily collecting goodideas, and then had to be turned intotypewritten words in a last-minuterush. Somehow, in the end the ideasaren't so important, if only they cangenerate a product of the requiredlength. So it is with Euphoria, whichwas still unwritten when the director(Mike Merritt) took the job, whichwasn't in its final form till sometimelast week, and which still shows tracesof the good satire that just got lost inthe process.

Euphoria, to elaborate, is a placewhere everyone has to be happy, andviolators are punished by death (somevague resemblance to the InstituteY.Onto the scene come a young couplewho want to get married; and so theyare, immediately, to two other compu-

the lyrics, which were generally unin-teresting, unfunny, and unessential tomost of the action. (The acoustics ofKresge didn't help either.) The singingwas not especially good, but then, noone expected it to be.

Acting f'meThe acting, on the other hand, was

fine-the cast made as much of weakmaterial as it could. And when thejokes were good, they seemed to knowit. Major roles were played by DianaRubin, Bruce Schwartz, Danny Gor-don, Sully Bonn, Mark Lavin, WeezieWoodruff, Mort Jonas, Audrey Zavell,and Ed Devoss; and director Merrittshould again be mentioned.

Not unexpectedly, ther were vari-ous Iuncertainties and technical prob-lems; but they're hardly worth men-tioning, since most should be ironedout by this weekend's performances.(This applies especially to dance num-bers, which were well-planned butneeded practice.) In fact, if the wholeshow could be thrown together as fastas it was, the'intervening Rveek couldprovide any number of changes-not tomention ad-libs; judging from an earlierscript, they're likely to be for thebetter. In any event, Euphoria is farfrom a total bore, a lot of the lines arefunny, admission price is pretty low,and if you're happy anyhow...

By Steven ShladoverVery few people in their early

twenties have received as much inter-national acclaim as the Americanpianist,-'Andre Watts. Wednesday nighthe made his first Boston-area recitalappearance and proved to the audiencewhy he is regarded as one of the mostpromising pianists of his generation.The concert was presented in SandersTheatre at Harvard and ickets were free'to the public, the sponsor being thePeabody-Mason Music Foundation.

All-Liszt programMr. Watts presented a very unusual

program consisting entirely of worksby Franz Liszt. This was a special treat,because Liszt is Mr. Watts' favoritecomposer, and he is already one of thefinest interpreters of Liszt's music tocome before the public. He warmed upon three brief Liszt miniatures,. twonocturnes, and the atypically-reservedThird Hungarian Rhapsody. Theremainder of the program wasunabashedly heavyweight.

B-minor sonataThe majority of the first half was

devoted to the monumental Sonata inB' minor, a work which has terroizedpianists for over a century. It confrontsthe performer with extremely difficulttechnical and musical problems, andthe performer who manages to keep hisaudience interested through the entirework has made a considerable accom:plishment. The major musical trap forthe pianist is the close juxtaposition ofviolently-contrasting passages. Therepeated and sudden transitionsbetween highly virtuosic and subduedand reflective parts can not well bemade convincing.

Mr. Watts set out to conquer theSonata before it conquered him, and hesucceeded quite admirably. He toreinto the work at a remarkably fast pacewhich many pianists might like to use,but which few would dare attempt.Although he hit his share of wrongnotes near the beginning, he soonsettled down and kept the audienceinterested. with a passionate, andaim ost violent, performance. Theunusually rapid-tempo allowed him toget through the more meandering andrepetitive parts of the work sooner, atthe same time as it made the morevirtuosic parts electrifying. Thisk per-formance captured the sweep and fireof romantic piano playing at its best, a

commodity which is in all-too-shortsupply at the present. The near-abandon with which he approached theSonata led to an unusual, but veryeffective; interpretation.

Faust SymphonyThe second half of the program was

devoted to piano transcriptions of thesecond and third movements, entitled"Gretchen" and "Mephistopheles", ofLiszt's "Faust Symphony". These con-tained some effective writing for thepiano, but were not really of sufficientmusical interest to warrant half of therecital program. Mr. Watts, as expected;did a very creditable job on thesepieces, and was technically beyondreproach.

There was a single encore, Liszt's"La Campanella", a piano fantasybased on a Paganini violin work. Thisplayed a very important role in therecital, bringing the rest into focus. Itwas a brilliant tour-de-force whichlifted the audience out of its seats to astanding ovation at the end. The spark-ling piano tone and more light-heartedmood of this piece were unfortunatelylacking in the rest of the recital. Thiswas largely a result of the works Mr.Watts chose to play.

Lack of varietyThey were mostly lengthy and seri-

ous, requiring a heavy, sombre toneproduction. This led to a certain.lackof variety in the piano sound, andresulted in some doubt as to thepianist's ability to produce a variedtonal color. With tone color beingde-emphasized, Mr. Watts maintainedinterest by varying the rhythms anddynamics and making expert and adroituse of the damper pedal. The basstones were slightly percussive, though,and lacked a warm, fully-roundedsound. Although this could have beenthe fault of the performer or theacoustics of the hall, it was most likelya deficiency of the piano.

Despite Mr. Watts generally excel-lent performance, the recital wouldhave benefited from more variedprogramming. The idea of an all-Lisztrecital is fine, but the heavier worksshould have been mixed with morelight-weight ones, such as the variousHungarian Rhapsodies, Etudes, or setsof variations.

Small attendanceAlthough this concert was present-

ed to the public free of charge by thePeabody-Mason Music Foundation,Sanders Theatre was far from full.Tickets for all events in the outstandingseries presented by the foundation areavailable one month before the per-formance dates by mail order only.Future events this season include JoaoCarlos Martins, pianist, and the SaarChamber Orchestra.

Big Brother didn't even come close in"All Is Loneliness." It is impossible toanticipate this closing impact even afterhaving heard the track many times.

Bayou Country has Fogerty singingeven better and the band even moredriving than on most of the previousalbum, although "Suzie Q" must standas a song apart. "Born on the Bayou"has all the touches of down home.Creedence may come from SanFrancisco, but its soul is unmistakablyin New Orleans.

twice what the second place teamtallied.

MIT entered the tournament at lessthan full strength; Jack Maxham '69received a cracked collarbone in thematch against UMass, so MIT had noentree at 145 lbs. B.J. Davies '71 whohad aI 0-1 season record before he wasforced to quit the season because of abad knee injury sustained earlier in theyear also had great promise of placinghigh in the tournament.

All told, the Tech machine was ableto tally one second; one third, and two·fourths from their entrees. Gregg Erick-son '69 (123) was the holder of thethird place championship after pinninghis first opponent, beating his second,fourth, and fifth opponents on deci-sions 7-0, 8-0, and 8-1, consecutively.He lost to his third opponent by 5-3.

Norm Hawkins '69 (152) took thefourth place championship at hisweight by pinning his first opponent,winning his second and fourth matcheson decisions, but losing his third andfifth on decisions. These are repeatperformances for Hawkins and Erick-son who were both New Englandschampions last year.

Joe Baron '70 (1 IS) brought moreneeded points to the engineer grapplersby also capturing a fourth place cham-pionship. He wrestled five matches,total, and won three of the five toplace as he did.

The long second place was won by-Fred Andree '70, the heavyweightwrestler. He got to the firals withoutmuch problem, and in those firalsthere appeared one of those not-so-raresports animals, an upset. Andree wascontrolling the match most of the time,.but when it was all over, Sneider (awrestler of unbelievable proportions)of WPI was the two point victor. Thisalso considerably upset Tech's apple-cart.I

Co-captain Lee Dilley '69, was'right in his usual sensational form as hescored a tremendous upset in takg te200 yard freestyle in a new record timeof 1:50.9. Dilley's victory was especial-ly gratifying in that he beat one of thefew swimmers (from Springfield) whohad beaten him during the regularseason.

MIT was one of 62 schools enteredin this year's IC4A's held in MadisonSquare Garden, and that was exactlyhow they finished. The stiff competi-tion which included four Olympiansfrom Villanova alone was too much forTech's three man contingent of Ben-Wilson '70, Larry Kelly '70, and KirkWinges '71.

As expected, Villanova took first,making three years in a row for Villa-nova. Harvard took third on thestrength of two firsts in the weights byDicjk Benka and Ed Nosal.

Winges did respectably in the highjump, but he wasn't close to qualifyingfor the f'mals. He cleared 6 ft. 2 in.,

The "feats of fin" were so numer-ous on this day that it's hard to singleout any one top performer; but per-haps the most outstanding andencouraging display was the work of AlGraham. Only a sophomore, Al brokethe MIT varsity record in the 400 yardindii'dual medley, an event not nor-mally included in dual meets, inwinning the gold medal.
