Under questioning from SDS members, Curtis said that the University would not take re- spondsibility for injuries at the police bust in the Sherman Student Union. Inside, the students decided to occupy the building until at least. 7:00 pm last night, at which time they would have another meeting to decide whether to continue the occu- pation or to leave. YAF HOLDS RALY; 3000 JOIN ARPCH Massachusetts Area Young Americans for Freedom staged an Anti-Moratorium candlelight parade around the Boston Conm- mon Sunday night in protest of the treatment of American pri- soners of war by the North Vietnamese government. In spite of the cold weather, about 3000 people joined the line of march, which began at the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill and ended with a rally on the Softball diamond of the Common. A small number of spectators, many of whom cheered the marchers, joined the parade. Among the speakers at the rally were two Vietnam veterans, who burned a VC flag, and a representative of the South Viet- namese embassy. One scuffle broke out as a student who was heckling a speaker was assaulted by a number of conservative students. He was pulled away by the police before anyone was injured. YAF leaders reported that they were very pleased with the march and the support that it received, and plan another 'Tell it to Hanoi" rally in April. They expect this march to be attended by over 100,000 people. By Joe Kashi About 100 students at Bos- ton University occupied the BU Administration Building yester- day in an attempt to force the University to support the Gen- eral Electric strikers and drop an injunction that BU had taken out earlier against the demon- strators. Administrators and secre- taries left the building through the back door as the students, mostly members of the Progres- sive Labor Party and BUSDS, battered down two sets of doors in the front of the building. Two campus patrolmen who were standing in front of the doors moved aside and allowed the students to break through. The demonstration had ear- lier begun at Marsh Chapel and proceeded down Commonwealth Avenue to the Student Union and the administration building at 147 Bay State Rd. Few peo- ple joined the line of march despite urgings to do so. Many of the marchers refused to enter the building lobby, where the occupiers began a non-stop political discussion. Many drift- ed away. from the scene, ap- parently afraid that they might be involved if a bust came. At 5 pm last night there were about 30 demonstrators inside the building. BU Prof. Howard Zinn, who had spent much of the day with the protesters, was still there. Most of the others were outside leafleting in an attempt to gain campus support. Those inside were prepared for a raid, as filing cabinets and other office furniture had been moved to block all entrances but one. There was no evidence of property damage in the building. Almost all the doors and fil- ing cabinets in the building were unlocked, perhaps indicating, that the office workers had left in haste. Thursday morning's panel discussed affluent areas of society.

they bring to the job.SDS beset Johnson with char-

ges of unfair treatment of work-ers. Johnson claimed that SDSfigures on speed-up and workloads were false, but when chal-lenged could not produce alter-nate figures. The-radical groupinsisted that Johnson knew whatwould happen at the meetingand should have come armedwith whatever infonrmation hehad. As for Ciulla, Johnson insis-ted that, from the reports he hadheard, the foreman was doing agood job.

An important issue concernedthe workers' union. Johnson in-sisted that the workers had astrong union to handle theirgrievances, a union which hasyet to complain about Ciulla.SDS countered by insisting thatthe "machinations of the unionleadership sidetracked a strikevote over Ciulla." The workers,they continued, are afraid theunion leadership won't protectthem if they protest.

Others at the meeting sidedwith Johnson. A research assist-ant claimed his family gets by onless then $5,000 a year. Hemocked the government figureson living standards, insistingthey were computed by bureau-crats who were unfamiliar withliving frugally.

THE TECt TUESDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1969 PAGE 3J

By Alex MakowskiMITSDS clashed with Presi-

dent Howard'Johnson Thursdayafternoon, demanding that hereduce oppression of MIT work-ers by raising their wages andfiring one of their foremen.-

The administration apparent-ly held the field as Johnson,backed by a largely sympatheticaudience, refused to concede toeither of the SDS demands oragree with any of the radicals'accusations.

The two demands developedout of incidents which date backtwo years. SDS charges thatMIT, in an effort to make up fora loss in federal research grants,began reducing real wages andspeeding-up the workers. Theyinsist that Sal Cuilla was pro-moted to foreman to harass theworkers, resulting in the firing orresignation of as many as 30enmployees.

As for wages, SDS points outthat the pay for custodians isless than 60% of the govern-mentally-defined level of incomenecessary to maintain a moder-

ate standard of living. Althoughwages have been rising, SDS as-serts that the cost of living isrising faster, and the workerssuffer a net drop in purchasingpower ("real wages").

SDS prepared their stand at arally before confronting Johnsonat his weekly Friday afternoonmeeting with students. Leaderswarned the fifteen radicals pre-sent to expect devious answersand hedging from the admini-stration. As for money availableto raise the workers' pay, MIT'sinvestments, including some50,000 shares of GE stock, weredetailed. The radicals concludedthere is no shortage of funds: "ifthey can get $21,000,000 to buySimplex . . . "

Johnson repliesJohnson insisted that campus

employees are treated much bet-ter than SDS leaflets indicate-"MIT tries harder to do a fairjob of being an employer thanany other college or university inthe area." He insisted that theworkers are getting a fair wage,being paid according to the skills

The heavy hand of repression has begun to fallon the Black Panthers and the Weathermen. Boththe recent killings of two Panther leaders inChicago and the conspiracy arrest of the localWeatherman collective by the Cambridge policewere handled in such a way as to lead us to believethat in each case the police probably actedarbitrarily to curb a group whose political philoso-phy they found unacceptable.

In the Chicago case, for example, the policereport that the twco;Panthers were killed in afull-scale gun battle that went on throughout thePanthers' apartment. The Panthers said that thepolice directly entered the room of the two leadersthey wished to kill and did so. Interestinglyenough, even the "pig" press reports that virtuallythe only bullet holes in apartment walls were inthe leaders' room, a strange situation indeed ifthere was a general gun battle.

Here in Cambridge, police charged the Weather-man collective with conspiracy to commit murderas the result of an incident in which Weathermenallegedly fired shots in to the police station. Thekey police witness, a youth who had been livingwith the Weathermen and gave police a statement

which was the basis for the arrest of the Weather-men, said in court that police used force to makehim sign the statement. Even Judge Edward Viola,not known for his sympathy for young dissenters,was forced to dismiss the case.

It should be noted that neither of theseoutrageous actions on the part of the police causedany major public outcry. This is because, as wehave noted before, the citizenry of this nation willsupport fascism long before it will support asocialist revolution. Anyone who acts on thesupposition that this is not the case is deceivinghimself. It is not a pretty fact, but it is a factnonetheless. -

A massive campaign is needed to educate theAmerican people concerning the facts which moti-vate dissent; at present, the "Silent Majority" ismore aware of activist tactics than-the corres-ponding politics, and oppose dissenters out ofblind reaction to tactics which are considered"unacceptable." In addition, a campaign is neededwhich will reaffirm the basic constitutional rightsof all citizens and will delineate the ways in which

Correction

To the Editor:A distortion of some state-

ments at the last GA meetingoccurred in the last issue of TheTech. What I actually said aboutopen Faculty meetings and therole of the Seceretary of theFaculty is summed up here:

Technically, the Faculty doesnot permit anyone who has notbeen working with a committeethat is reporting to the Facultyto speak at Faculty meetings,and then only with the approvalof the Chairman of the commit-tee in question. The Secretary ofthe Faculty has steadfastly op-posed ad hocefforts to broadenspeaking privileges, because therules do not allow this.

Many of the recommenda-tions of the Myers Committeehave not been implemented asyet, and no committee has beenset up to recommend what shallbe done about speaking privi-leges at Faculty meetings afterthis May, when the current"experiment" runs out. Part ofthis inactivity has been causedby other events, such as theNovember Actions, taking uppeople's time.

The undergraduate ExecutiveCommittee has and continues toencouraged improved faculty-student communications, andopen discussion of issues rele-vant to the community. We havealso tried to bring the GA resolu-tion to the Faculty in a morereasonable light than has beendepicted in the Tech article ofFriday.

Enrollment figures

To the Editor:Mr. Lee Giguere's fine article

in The Tech (December 3, 1969issue) about the Commission onMIT Education is marred by anerror concerning undergraduateand graduate enrollment. TheRegistrar's official count for the

these rights arefrequency.

George Katsiaficas and MikeO'Conner are revolutionaries anddon't mind saying so. As mem-bers sof Rosa Luxemburg SDS,the campus radical group with aRYM-II (Revolutionary YouthMovement) orientation, theyexplain their political philosoph-ies in terms of oppression,capitalism, imperialism; class andcaste. Their analysis is Marxian,but their life style-is more Wood-stock than Bolshevik. Undercapitalism, they contend, every-one is oppressed in some wayexcept the ruling class-thecontrollers of Big Capital, i. e.,the rich and propertied. Forsome, such as blacks or poorwhites, the oppression.. moreevident and economic. Forothers oppression takes subtlerforms. Dull, tiring jobs; regimen-ted high schools, and social pres-sures to compete for money andstatus are all seen in this light.

American foreign policy is anextension of the capitalist eco-social system. Imperialism is thepolicy of-exploiting small, poornations for our gain. Vietnam isseen in the radical view as beingno accident but a logical out-come of the idea that anythinggoes for profit.

This piece, however, is aboutrepression, about what happenswhen you start to buck thesystem. Kats tells it like this:

"A friend of mine called me-and told me something washappening at. BU, in support ofGE strikers. I knew I wanted tosupport that strike. I went overthere about 1 :30. There was thisrally-it wasn't very big-therewas_ a GE Vice-Presidentupstairs, we were going to try toconfront - the guy, because wedidn't think he should be scab-bing, especially at a universitycampus, which is supposed to beapolitical... it was supportingthe GE management by allowingthis guy to come in and speak."

Kats and O'Conner went onto paint a scene of police brutal-ity rivaling Chicago. By theiraccount, the demonstrators wereset upon by plainclothesmen andunifomfied cops (no -badges,though) as they were LEAVINGthe building. Mike said theyseemed to be going for knownpeople first. Demonstratorsattempted to fight back and run,and at this point the cops beganbeating people with clubs andblackjacks. Bystanders were notspared. Said O'Conner: "Six ofthe people arrested had nothingwhatsoever to do with the

off, and for the past five yearsits size has changed very little. Itis likely that future growth of(the graduate school .will primari-ly reflect the development ofnew degree programs and theremay be little, if any, across the board increase in enrollment.Doubtless the new Commission-will devote careful considerationto this critical problem ofgrowth as it relates to all of MIT.

demonstration." Busted andthrown into paddy wagons(Katsiaficas, after being collared,was lifted by his AtJr andMACED in the face for 30seconds) they were driven to thejail where the real trouble began.

The door of Kats' paddywagon was thrown open toreveal a waiting double line ofcops leading to the jail doorway.The cops pulled the first manout and beat him as he '"ran thegauntlet." The others followedand received beatings. The copswere joking with each, other,shouting, "Why do studentradicals call us pigs?" Kats claimto have replied, "Why are youacting ke> ones?" O'Conner,in-the third wagon, got the samelater on, receiving a cut on thehead and several bruises. Heasked for medical treatment. Apolice doctor poured half abottle of alcohol over his head.'Two days later a hospital physic-ian told Mike, "You should havebeen in here ten minutes after ithappened." Kats, seeking aid forhis MACEd eyes, got alcoholfrom the same medico-in theeye-along with an admonish-ment, "You shouldn't have beenhere in the first place-kid."

The cops played a game withKats. One asked him to emptyhis pockets; another hit himwhen he put his hands in them.David Rubin, who hadn't beenhurt before, was taken from hiscell, beaten and Stomped. Noone was informnned of their rightsor of the charges against themfor several hours.

Kats and O'Conner agree thecontinuance of their trial is atactic intended to keep themdocile, but, they say, they willnot be deterred from their polit-ical work of building towardsome future day when there willbe no oppressors, and no oppres-sed. In the meantime, Mike'swound heals, an inflamedreminder that there are easierthings to be than a-revolution-ary.

Fall Term 1969 lists 4002 regu-lar undergraduates and 3395ieg,Alar graduate students. IfSpecial Students (non-degreecandidates) are added to theabove, there are 4074 under-graduates and 3950 graduate stu-dents.

The LosersOn the other hand, some al-

bums have become known with--out deserving any of their popu-larity. Here is a list of "don'tbuy" albums. It would be ashame to lose a friend by givinghim one of these.

The Association (Warner-Seven Arts)-They've been goingdpwnhill for a long time, butthis one must be rock bottom.

Blind Faith (Atco)-Theyshould have been good but theygot screwed up somewhere. Thisone's mostly noise.

Soft Parade-The Doors(Elektra)-Not really that badfor anyone but their fans. JimMorrison drowns in goo on thearrangements The songs aren'tthat good either.

I Got Dem 01' Kozmic BluesMama-Janis Joplin (Colum-bia)-She probably got them be-cause of this album. The talent isthere, both in the band andJanis, but her screaming obsceni-ties would have been more enter-taining.

Live in Las Vegas-Tom Jones(Parrot)-all of his singing is bad,and they can't put his pelvis onplastic.

You Never Really Know WhoYour Friends Are-Al Kooper(Columbia)-Maybe somedayKooper will finally find a com-fortable stable place. This exper-imrent is too teeny-bopperish.

At Carnegie Hall-Rod Mc-Kuen (Warner-Seven Arts)-Ifyou know the recipient likeshim, it's okay. Otherwise, you'llprobably have it thrown back atyou.

Good Morning Starshine-Oliver (Crewe)-This kid musthave been a choirboy. Giftwise,the same goes for this as forSweet-tooth Rod's album.

Three Dog Night (Dun-hill)-This group is so plasticthey must come from Monsanto.They take other people's goodsongs and rearrange them intotripe.

Rock and R o ll-VanillaFudge (Atco)-Anyone whoheard them here last year would-n't even consider this. Put ano-ther way, if the original rock androll had been as bad, the Beatleswould be Liverpool hoods.

Some Unknown Winners

Many good albums remainunknown, for many differentreasons. These are some of themfrom the past year.

The' Best of Booker T. andthe M. G. 's (Atlantic)-This studiogroup is the tightest instrumen-tal combo around, with a dis-tinctivre sound which is sure toplease almost everyone.

Those Who Are About To DieSalute You-Colosseum (Dun-hill)-This Mayall-trained grouprides on the sax work of jazzmanDick Heckstall-Smith and theorgan of Dick Greenslade. Goodblues and intriguing musician-

By David Housman .The production of Three Sis-

ters currently at the Loeb DramaCenter is an extremely excitingevent. Styled on the conceptionsof Jerzy Grotowski of the PolishLaboratory Theater, it has beencreated -by director Leland Moss,who, with the Harvard DramaClub, is involved in an attemptto discover what is essentiallytheatrical about Chekhov's play.

Perhaps some explanation ofthe experimental notions of Jer-zy Grotowski would be helpful.The program to Three Sistersgives the following quote fromhis essay "Towards a Poor Thea-ter": "Theater can exist withoutmake-up, without autonomiccostume and scenography, with-out a seperate performance area(stage), without lightig andsound effects, etc. It cannotexist without the actor-spectatorrelationship of perceptual, di-rect, 'ive' communion....[This] challenges the notion oftheater as a synthesis of dispar-ate creative disciplines-litera-ture, sculpture, painting, archi-tecture, lighting, acting. This'synthetic theater' is the contem-porary theater, which we readilycall the 'Rich Theater'-rich inflaws.... No matter how muchtheater expands and explores its.technological resources, it willremain technologically inferiorto film and television. Consequently, I propose poverty intheater."

At the Loeb, gesture, rhythm,dance, and wordless vocaliza-tions are used to convey drama-tic content. All the illusions ofreality are projecteddirectly bythe actors. As the quote abovemight indicate, the costuming isextremely simple; the lightingeffects are minimal (all the chan-ges'in lighting are done by theactors from a console'on wstage). There is no formalstage-the acting area is in inti-mate contact with the areawhere the audience sits. WhenNatasha proudly shows off herbaby, he is shown to members ofthe audience as well as otheractors. At the close of the play,

after the curtain call, the castbreaks into dancing and invitesthe audience to join in. In otherwords, an effort is made toinvolve the audience in a directway in the play.

The dramatic content putsGrotowski's philosophy to a seri-ous test. The central:focus of theplay is the emotional conflictexperienced by the sisters, anddirector Moss has attempted togive objective representations tothese conflicts. Actors behavelike cats in love scenies, whiletheir lines are spoken by Mashaand Vershinin, the only truelovers of the play; actors becomeclocks to emphasize the passageof time. These devices lead oneto a different kind of involve-ment than that created by tradi-tionatl theatrical artifice, insistingthat we deal with levels of emo-tion usually suggested less direct-ly. Occasionally this insistenceon objective representation ofemotional tensions -becomesoverbearing, but on the whole itsucceeds.

The demands on the actors inthis production are differentfrom those of a more traditionalone. An actor must not only actthe role of a character, -butfunction in the role usually re-served for props and lighting. Tothe great credit o'f the HarvardDrama Club, these demands aremet, and the production works.There is no question that LeriHeineman, Susan Yakutis, andNancy Cox gave noteworthy per-formances. Daniel Seltzer su-perbly plays the doctor. It isimportant to note, however, thatin this production the cast mustbe judged as a whole since all theactors contribute significantly tomuch of the action. My feeling isthat while the production wasnot "polished or professional,"

ship.Lady Coryell-Larry Coryell

(Vanguard)-Coryell is on hiso w n, so m e times quadruple-tracked, running the range fromstraight jazz to straight rock.Great for a guitar nut.

Streetnoise-Julie Driscoll,Brian Auger and the Trinity (At-co)-This outing just misses be-ing in the top three. It crossesthe bounds of the forms con-tinually yet still remains cohe-sive, and Jools is at the top ofthe bunch of female singersaround. A beautiful two-recordset.

How Can You Be In TwoPlaces At Once When You'reNot Anywhere At All-The Fire-sign Theater (Columbia)-Someof the most disjointed,whacked-out comedy ever heard.Your straight friends might notlike it, but it's ideal for a freak.'

The Fourth Way (Capitol)-These guys are jazz musicianswho are into rock. A fine instru-mental trip.

Jacob's Creek (Columbia)-This is a soft sound-mixed elec-tric and acoustic. A sort ofharmonious Band.

Harry-Nilsson (RCA)-Thebest fantasy trip since SergeantPepper. A Nilsson trip is lightbut not ridiculous-like a goodhigh. I

Turning Point-John Mayall(Polydor)-Mayall has aban-doned loud electric blues for theacoustic approach. Jonny Al-mond's guitar and the master'sexperience make it a meaningfuland sensitive creation.

America the Beautiful/A n Ac-count of Its Disappearance-Gary McFarland (Skye)-VibistMcFarland's moving jazz-rocksymphony of protest against thespoiling of the land. It's a bril-liant composition and recordingwhich will upset its listeners.

By Jeff UaleSaying what records to buy,

especially to a large group ofpeople, requires some limitingbounds. So, before committingcritical suicide, I wish to at leastset forth two basic criteria: therecordings are in the pop (rock,jazz, folk, etc.) area, and, withonly several exceptions, were re-leased during 1969.

Happy holiday shopping.

The Three BestThere were three pop albums

.this year which both deservedand attained critical and com-mercial success. Any of themmake fine gifts to those unfortu-nate enough not to own themalready.

Blood, Sweqt, and Tears (Co-lumbia)-The originator of big-band rock. Jazz influences arepredominant. Forget what Co-lurmbia does to the singles-listento the album.

Crosby, Stills, and Nash(Atlantic)-The only "super-group" to live up to its billing.Harmnnonious and beautiful coun-try-flavored music. -A magnifi-cent album.

Sweet Child-The Pentangle(Reprise)-Not as well known asthe other two but a superbtwo-record set of acoustic pop.Jansch and Renbourn are the

44,337simplicity is deceptive; to co itwell requires excellent photogra-phy combined with a sure senseof drama. With sound there isthe added problem of coordina-tion. Franken and Kinch haveshown their skill at all three.

The quality of the Washing-ton scenes is especially remark-able in light of the difficultiesunder which they were shot.Frankaen braved clubs to get in-side police lines; Kinch, lacking agas mask, had to shoot halfblind. Despite this they managedto gather a collection of stillscarrying all the force and vio-lence in a billy club, and whichassaults the eye like tear gas.44,33 7 is not pleasant to.view; itis an ugly reflection of an uglyreality: the schizoid, polarizedAmerica of 1969.

There is much understatedirony about America. The coach,trying to raise funds off-season,claims that the skiers are "rovingambassadors for the Americanway of life." The racer says in apress conference (about a team-mate): "He wins sometimes, Iwin sometimes. What's the dif-ferenc.e? We're both Americans."The irony, of course, is that as arepresentative of America, theracer is far from admirable.

Whereas the photography issensitive and at times spectacu-lar, the extensive ski scenes be-come repetitious- and boringafter a while.

"The trouble with you is thatyou have not the desire tolearn," the coach says to theracer one time. He is correct; itis this flaw that both makes theracer an uninteresting characterto watch, and this well done filmeasy to forget.

By Emanuel GoldmanDownhill Racer, at the Astor

Theatre, is a complete portraitof a ski champion, but it is stilllife, for- the character goes nowhere, except downhill to anOlympic gold medal.

There is no sympathy genera-ted for him, nor is there revul-sion. He is a nondescript, unap-pealing, and shallow person."What's he do it for?" his fatherrecounts being asked by others."1'1l be famous, a champion,"says the racer. "World's full ofthem," replies the father.

The definitive film of thisgenre, back in 1951, was Cham-pion, with Kirk Douglas. In thatfilm, an ambitious but sympa-thetic youngster went to the topof the boxing world, and in theprocess, became a wretched cad.

The racer is , never meanenough to qualify as a cad. Tobe sure, there are instances, as

when he tosses a full cup at a.spectator who had offered it tohim, or when he pays no atten-tion .to his hometown girl's ques-tioning after having gotten whathe wanted from her. But theseare just incidents; he never is anoverwhelming louse, and thus,the viewer never reacts stronglyto him.

From the outset, there is lit-tle sympathy. A prima donna, herefuses to race in the 88th posi-tion, even though he has yet toprove himself. He tries to findexcuses after a fall, though thecoach says that it happened be-cause he wasn't strong enough.He is unforgiving of his Euro-pean girlfriend because shehadn't contacted him when hewas expecting her. He only at-tracts synpathy when he goesinto the men's room to gathercourage before approaching thegirl in a restaurant.

A review of NMIT Dramashop'sproduction of Ulysses in Night-town, which opened last week-end, was planned for this issue;unfortunately, our reviewer wasunexpectedly unable to attend,and a replacement could not befound in time.

The play will be performedtwo more times, this Friday andSaturday at 8:30.

mind a superb crystallization oftheater. Yet the current produc--tion at the Loeb does not sufferin comparison. Despite the limi-tations of time and talent, theLoeb production brings outenough that is new and interest-ing about the play to make itextremely significant. By way ofcontrast I recall very distinctly aLoeb production of The Seagull.which fit quite well into thetraditional forms of theater. iwould guess the actors were notsignificantly less talented thanthose in the present HarvardDrama Club, yet this formerproduction was flat, dull, anduninvolving. I applaud the spiritof the present production ofThree Sisters and look forwardto further exploration of thisconception of theater. -

The question of polished pro-fessional theater brings up anissue raised by Mr. Moss in hisprogram notes: "but what, afterall, is a university for? A univer-sity theatre, ideally, should be aplace where not only new plays,new actors and new set designersare given the opportuntiy tocreate, but also where new con-cepts of-'what theater is' may beborn and tested." I have longagreed with this view of univer-sity theater, and with Three Sis-ters Mr. Moss has produced aconvincing argument for its vita-lity.

Two contrasts might bringthis point home. The Actors'Studio production of Three Sis-ters in New York was to my

of HRSDS, NAC: and Weather-'man ended with a decision toform an ad hoc "Support OM U"committee to prepare a leafletand get students to congregate atUniversity Hali. A meeting wasscheduled for Friday night.About 50 people left the meet-ing and marched around the Har-vard and Radcliffe groundschanting radical slogans. But no

support action materialized sincethe blacks had left the building.

The occupation appears- tohave taken place because com-munications between the Uni-venrity and OBU broke down.Harvard, in a release dated De-cember 2, noted regret at "ourinability to reach an understand-

-ing today with OBU." It furthernoted that "recognized" repre-sentatives of Harvard-RadcliffeAssociation of African and Afro-American Students (HRAAAASor Afro), the original complain-ant on the issues, had failed to

appear at a scheduled meetingwith Harvard officials onNovember 19 and thatHRAAAAS did not answver a let-ter asking for :' meeting onNovember 21. Ol. Nov. 21 Har-vard was informei thMt OBU, acoalition of Black groups in-cluding HRAAA.S, would nowbe negotiating vrith the Uni-versity. &

added five and seven pointsrespectively.

The game revealed a markeddifference in the play of Wilson,who had been held to only sixpoints in his varsity debutagainst Tufts on Wednesday. Inthat game the Engineers weredefeated 80-74, as Jumbocaptain Dave Whitley pumped in28 points to go with his manyrebounds. MIT was led by HalBrown who also scored 28 in hisfirst varsity game, and byWheeler wvho contributed 18.The score was not a true indica-tion of the closeness of the gameas MIT was behind almost all theway. Wilson was ineffective, andwas eventually replaced byanother sophomore, Dave Miller,who also was not able to gener-ate any type of offense.

For Coach Jack Barry theweekend provided a look at thisyear's varsity squad. With onlytwo returnmng starters and noseniors in the starting five, Barrywas uncertain how the teamwould stand in game conditions.But the work of Wilson andBrown in the BC game musthave been a welcome sight inBarry's plans-to return MIT toa winning basketball season.

The game was closefor the first ten minutes beforeWilson and Brown went to work.Brown's favorite point producerwas a quick turnaround Jumperfrom fifteen feet, while Wilsonused his six-foot-six frame to goinside on his man for numerouslayups and tap-ins. At halftimeTech's lead was 52-43 withWilson leading all scorers with aneven twenty points.

The second half found MITcontinuing to dominate therebounding and increasing itsmargin. At the buzzer the scoreread 88-69 in favor of the-hometeam as, last year's sophomoresensation Minot Cleveland added14 points. Tech's other two

starters, Captain Bruce Wheeler'71. and Rich . Leffebvre 71,

Loss to Trinr i ty evenspucksters- mnarkat 1a

By John KavazanjianThe varsity hockey team tra-

veled to Trinity for their onlyaway game of the season onSaturday and came cul on thelosing end of a 5-2 score. Theicemen lost to a bigger and fasterTrinity team despite some finegoaltending by goalie Ken Lord'71 and strong play by Bill Bar-ber '71. Barber scoredthe firstgoal and helped set up for-thesecond while Lord came up with30 saves in the effort.

Trinity opened the scoring at4:25 of the first period on thefirst of two goals by Paul Bush-ueff. On the play from theensueing faceoff, John Miller'72was caught holding, and theTech penalty killers had to go towork. With filler offM Barberpicked up a loose puck at thecenter ice. He came in alone ontwo defensemen and. surprisedeveryone by beating them andthe goalie for the first score.

Early -in the second periodTrinity hit for a goal. But MITcame back on a I-at Iy h-VMarWeinberg '71 on passes from BillBarber and Bill Strensrud 71.

The rest of the period wasmarred by three penalties, at onetime giving Trnmity a two manadvantage. This forced the Techdefense , with the help of somebrilliant work from zoalie Lord,to work extra hard in denyingthe Trinity line. The building

pressure finally took its toll asTrinity scored with two minutesleft, and again with ten secondsremaining in the period. Theyfailed to score, however, on fivesuccessive power plays. Trinityadded a third goal to sew up thegame.

The loss to Trinity ran theteam's record to 1-1, the winbeing last week's home openeragainst WPI. The team camefrom behind at. 2-3 to win 5-3.in that game Bill Barber had 2goals and three assists and BillStrensrud had 2 goals and 2assists. John Miller '72 also con-tributed a goal and anne assist.

low score of. 1260 in beatingBokoon University Friday -even-ing, the MIT riflemen staged aphenomenal comeback Saturdayagarinst Worcester Polytechwith a record tying 1337.

The Friday night match, whichtook place at the BU range, wasa bad one for each of the Techshooters but one-Eric Kraemter'71. He was the only engineermarksman to fire a score near hisaverage. Hie had 95 prone, 86 inkneeling, and 79 in the standingposition for an aggregate of 260.

The team members competingagainst BU were Dave Hunt '70,at 239,Jack Chesley '71 at 247,Cartain Dick Evans '70 with250, Eric Kraemer at 260, andKarl Lamson '71 at 264. Theteam score really sufferedbecause of this poor shooting.

By Buzz Moylan,Last Saturday the varsity in-

door track traveled to Bates onlyto be handed a heartbreaking52-51 defeat. The key to Bates'success lay i their six first-placefinishes to MIT's five. Neverthe-less the meet hinged on the lastevent, the mile relay, whichBates narrowly won.

Bates dominated the weightdepartment, holding Ray Mayer'72 to third place in the 35 lb.

weight throw with a 44' V' toss.Mike McClure, '72 did take sec-ond place 'in the shot. Led byCharlie Gentry's -13 foot effort,the Engineers swept the polevault. Ed Rich, '72 and Jim'Glowienka '71 were second andthird respectively. Albert Lau'72 broadjumped 20' 61h" forsecond place. The absence ofweekend casualty Jim Zilli, '71gave Ty Rabe '72 and Al Lau aone-two finish in the high jumpat 5' 8'.

Captain Larry Kelly '70-cover-ed 45 yards on the fast track in5.2 seconds for first, Jackof-a-lltrades Albert Lau was third. EricDarling '71 copped the victoryfor the-mile with a respectableclocking of 4:29.9. Henry Hall'70 and Al Lau finished secondand third in the 45 yard highhurdles. John Owens won the600 in' 1:17.2. He was followedclosely by Larry Kelly in secondat 1: 18.2. Pat Sullivan '72 ran asmart race to finish second inthe 1000. Rich Goldhor '72palced third in the two mile run.
