too much tinkering and microscopicchanges," Vest said.

The longer teaching schedulealso won support from Lester C.Thurow, dean of the Sloan Schoolof Management. "I would like tosupport the idea of extra teachingtime. You just don't get it done in120 to 125 teaching days," he said.

Faculty criticism of the plan attle sparscly-attended m,.ting .-,,,asfocused primarily on three areas: theway IAP is used, increasing paceand pressure, and the shortenedsummer break. UndergraduateAssociation President-elect Hans C.Godfrey '93 and Graduate StudentCouncil President Anand Mehta Galso spoke out against the proposedchanges.

"I feel concern about anythingthat increases the amount of timestudents are under the intense pres-sure they feel at this place," saidProfessor of Biology Graham C.Walker, a former housemaster atMcCormick Hall.

Walker's concerns were echoedby Godfrey, who feels "that addinga week to each term will not benefitthe students and will have a greaterpossibility of hurting them bothfinancially and in terms of pace andpressure."

Would strain financesStudents discussing the proposal

at last week's UA Council meetingalso expressed concern about finan-cial pressures. At that meeting,UAC member Jason J. Seid '96 esti-mated that undergraduate studentswould lose between $700 and $1000of income because of the shortersummer.

According to Mehta, graduatestudents face many of the samefinancial concerns. He was con-cerned that "the attitude takentowards graduate students was notappropriate. Less than half the grad-uate students actually register dur-ing the summer for research or the-

Tewhey, 44, resigned Tuesdayamid charges and countercharges ofharassment and office mismanage-ment. Earlier that day, his requestfor a restraining order against Nolanwas turned down by a CambridgeDistrict Court judge. Nolan'srequest for a similar order, lastingsix months, was approved by aNewton District Court judge onApril 16.

According to court papers, bothTewhey, who is married, and Nolan,43, admitted to an 18-month rela-tionship which ended in July 1992.

The student's machines werebuilt entirely out of parts supplied inkits handed out in class. The finalmachines needed to weigh less than4 kilograms and had to fit in a 300cubic millimeter space.

Project AIFePETEThe aim of this year's contest

was for the remote-controlledmachines to collect "trash" spacedaround the playing field and placethe items in their own bins forpoints. The trash consisted of alu-minum cans worth two points, plas-tic bottles worth three points, andsteel cans worth five points. Thepower for the machines was sup-plied by gear motors and pneumaticactuators for auxiliary power to con-trol ramps and arms. Each roundlasted 30 seconds.

This year's project was namedAIFePETE, in reference to the alu-minum cans, steel cans, and plasticbottles that the machines needed tocollect.

The contest was played on a flatU-shaped table, with bins placed atthe tips of the U. Each machinestarted in front of its bin. The top ofthe field was flat, and it gently slant-ed to the bottom, which was alsoflat. There were seven plastic bottlesalong the top, several aluminumcans on the slope, and steel cans onthe bottom.

A handful of faculty membersdiscussed a proposal to lengthen theacademic calendar and start classesbefore Labor Day at Wednesday'sfaculty meeting.

The proposal, developed by theInstitute Calendar Committee, wasoutlined by the committee's chair-man, Professor Robert J. Silbcy,head of the department of chem-istry.

The proposed calendar wouldincrease the number of teachingdays in each term to 67 and length-en Independent Activities Period to19 class days. Under the new calen-dar, classes would start beforeLabor Day in three of the next sevenyears and effectively shorten thesumnmer break by about two weeks.

The primary impetus for the cal-endar change was to provide moreteaching days in each semester andto make the terms equally long, Sil-bey said. "One of the problems thatconfronted us was that the terms arenot of equal length. This is some-thing we felt caused some problemsfor teaching and education in gener-al," he said.

Silbey formally moved the pro-posal, which may be voted on at theMay 19 faculty meeting. Other fac-ilty members may introduce theirown calendar proposals before themeeting, but that could delay a voteof the calendar until September,according to Professor of OceanEngineering J. Kim Vandiver, chairof the faculty.

Increases teaching daysSilbey and President Charles M.

Vest each made introductory conm-ments supporting the increase inteaching days. Both stressed that thecurrent calendar provides substan-tially fewer teaching days than thecalendars at most major researchuniversities.

MOSCOW

As he campaigns for a vote of confidence in Sunday's referen-dum, President Boris N. Yeltsin sounds at times like George Bushlast fall - an embattled leader bearing tidings of economic revival todisbelieving voters.

Russia's economic free fall is over, Yeltsin keeps proclaiming.Inflation is down.

That message has drawn derisive laughter from an audience ofrich industrialists and skeptical grunts from the elderly poor, whokeep asking Russia's leader to explain how they're supposed to liveon the minimum pension of less than $8 a month.

In fact, the economy does show signs of stabilizing after a long,chaotic decline. But the fragile process is invisible to most voters,and it appears to be threatened by political turmoil over Yeltsin'sfree-market reforms that the referendum is unlikely to resolve,whether the president wins or not.

Under "shock therapy" reforms launched in January 1992,Yeltsin's government wrenched Russia from seven decades of Com-munist central planning. It freed prices for most goods, filled shopsand small commercial kiosks with imported consumer items and putmore than 6,000 state-owned enterprises up for sale.

Yeltsin's conservative rivals in Parliament say the reforms havedestroyed Russia's industrial base. While millions of Russians havebecome small-scale entrepreneurs, tens of millions of others, aboutone third of the population, have fallen below the official poverty lineof 8,500 rubles ($10.90) per month in an era of growing uncertainty,rampant crime and high inflation.

WASHINGTON

Out of the ruins of PresidentClinton's economic stimulus pack-age mray soon emerge a slimmed-down spending package with a newname: the jobs bill.

Officials said Thursday the newlegislation, which may be intro-duced next week, would consistalmost exclusively of jobs-creatingitems. An exception could be one offirst lady Hillary Clinton's top prior-ities: $300 million for child immu-niization.

Also likely to be included wouldbe the $1 billion summer jobs pro-gram President Clinton asked forand $150 million for Small BusinessAdministration loans, congressionalaides said.

No final decisions on the propos-al have been made yet, the aidessaid, makting it impossible to knowhow much of the original $16.3 bil-lion stimulus package the adminis-tration might try to revive. SenateRepublicans effectively killed thestimulus plan Wednesday, dealingClinton the first major legislativedefeat of his presidency.

Thus far, the only piece of thestimulus plan to win congressionalapproval was $4 billion to extendunemployment benefits. That mea-sure was sent to Clinton for his sig-nature Thursday after the House

president wants to release from thehighway trust fund to finance roadand bridge construction. Adminis-tration officials also listed waste-water and community developmentprojects and money for mass transitas elements of a second spendingbill.

But Senate Appropriations com-mittee chairman Robert C. Byrdsaid he was dubious about anyattempt to try to revive the ill-fatedstimulus package.

"We made our effort and theeffort was killed by a filibuster," theWest Virginia Democrat said.

make sure that at least a few GOPSenate moderates would be willingto vote for it.

Meanwhile, administration offi-cials confirmed that Clinton isthinking about withdrawing the $15billion package of investment taxcredits he had hoped would stimu-late the creation of new jobs in pri-vate industry.

The proposal had alreadyappeared doomed by the oppositionof key Democratic leaders, who saidthey were not convinced that tile taxcredit program would achieve thedesired results.

In yet another ominous portent for the ozone layer, governmentscientists report Friday that the stratospheric shield that protects lifefrom harmful ultraviolet radiation has plummeted to new, unexpectedlows over the Northern Hemisphere, including the United States.

The reseachers, who reported their findings in Friday's issue ofScience, said the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Phillipinesreleased tiny particles or aerosols that may have interacted withindustry-produced gases to speed the ozone layer's destruction. Theeruption also may have triggered changes in high-altitude winds thataccelerated the loss.

The losses, which are expected to persist into summer, include anaverage drop of 12 percent in ozone over the mid-latitudes wheremost Americans, Canadians and Europeans live and a dip of 15 per-cent over the West Coast, including Califbmia. Stratospheric ozone isdown by as much as 20 percent over Northern Canada, Greenlannd,Norway, parts of Alaska and Siberia, the scientists reported.

Scientists had expected ozone levels to plunge during the monthsfollowing Mount Pinatubo's eruption but believed the volcano'seffects would have largely subsided by now.

Instead, the loss of ozone immediately following the eruption waslargely limited to areas near the equator, and the most dramaticeffects are occurring now.

"That is what really astonished everybody," said Paul Newman,an atmospheric physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center inMaryland and a co-author of the report.

The scientists' findings are based on an analysis of ozone mea-surements from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer - TOMS -on board NASA's Nimbus-7 satellite, which was launched in late1978. The results were confirmed by other space-based measuringinstruments.

Newman said the loss over the United States and other mid-lati-tude countries could cause about a 16 percent increase in harmfulultraviolet radiation this summer, reducing the amount of time ittakes for skin to burm in the sun.

WACO, 1TEXAS

In a dramatic re~buttl to the gov-ernment's charges of mass suicideand mrduer, survivors of Monday'scatastrophic fire at the BranchDavidian compound have describedscenes of terror and hysteria as theflames spread and insist that theblaze was a direct result of the FBIassault.ITanks slamming into the cultbuilding to spray tear gas crushed apropane tank and knocked overlantemns, sending open flames ontohay bales being used as insulation,according to attorneys for six of thenine survivors. Survivors say thefire caused pandemonium as infantsscreamed and adults raced fruitless-ly to find exits through the thickblack smoke.

Many of those who survivedremain loyal to cult leader DavidKoresh, and their account may besuspect for that reason. They mayalso be preparing their defenseagainst possible federal prosecutionfor their roles insiden the compound.But attorneys who have gathereddetailed statements from the cultmembers say the accounts are con-sistent and, in their opinion, credi-ble.

",Based on their body languageand their demneanor, I believe as adefense attorney that they are beingtruthful, said Jack Zimmermann, aHouston attorney who conducted alengthy interview Wednesday withfour of the survivors now being heldas material witnesses. Attorneys fortwo other members have given simi-lar accounts.

The survivors described a groupof 86 people who believed theywere on the verge of surrenderingthis week after Koresh completed aplanned manuscript on the Book ofRevelation. Although the FBIp saysthe manuscript promise was astalling tactic anid a sham, survivingcult member Jaime Castillo toldattorney Jeff Kearney that K~oreshhad been working on it night andday and would have finished it this

when the tank attack began earlyMonday because they had believedthe bureau's promises not to beginan assault. He noted that the FBIhad given Koresh a typewriter rib-bon for his manuscript the nightbefore.

The group remained calm as thetanks sprayed tear gas throughoutthe compound, Zimnmermann said.Mluch of the gas quickly dissipatedbecause of high winds swirlingthrough the holes the tanks hadpunched in the walls, he said. Butthe members still donned gas masksin an orderly fashion and moved tothe interior of the compound wherethe gas was less intense, he said.

"They were more afraid of theramming than they were of the gas,"said Zimmen-nann, who is not repre-senting any of the survivors. "Peo-ple moved away from the front ofthe house being destroyed, andmoved into the interior rooms,which is probably what caused themto be killed. Because when the firebroke out they were trapped, and theonly people who survived werethose near windows that were notaflame."

Koresh was last seen by the sur-vivors checking on members' gasmasks and walking calmly througha second-floor hallway as the assaultcontinued, Zimmermann said. Hesaid they maintain Koresh had norole in the fire's ignition.

Although the survivors were indifferent parts of the house when thefire began, he said, they were con-sistent in attributing the flames tothe action of the tanks.

In one case, a propane gas tankused for cooking was jostled andcrushed by a tank pushing throughthe building's entrance, Zimmer-mann said, and a lantern was seenfalling nearby. He said none of thesurvivors actually observed alantern igniting gas or hay.

"It was a matter of less than aminute, and the heat was so intensethey had to get out," Zimmermannsaid. "They heard people and chil-dren screaming and crying; theywere trapped, they couldn't get out... There was nothing but big blackclouds of smoke that disorientedeverybody. A lot of them couldn'tsee anyway because they had gasmasks on."

Zimmermann and Kearney saidthe survivors did not know whathappened to the children, but theydenied reports emerging fromWashington that some of the bodieshave been found with gunshotwounds, indicating that some mayhave been shot before the fire.

They also denied reports thatKoresh had built a bomb to kill fed-eral agents.

As a cold and rainy surface low slowly moves over our area onFriday, expect a temporary relapse in the glorious spring weather ofthe past few days. Fortunately, the unsettled regime is expected tomove out for a pleasant (if windy) Saturday.

Sunday's weather will be determined by a warm front, associatedwith a low pressure over the Great Lakes area. Clouds and showersare therefore a possibility, and the current indications point to unset-tled and progressively cooler conditions to return and remain for thefirst part of next week.

Today: Cloudy and cool with some rain through early afternoon.Alter a chilly morning, the highs are expected to reach 56 °F (13 'C).Clouds may begin to break late in the day, accompanied by gustynortheasterly winds that will gradually shift to northwest and contin-ue at 15-30 mph (24-$8 kmh)

University of Virginia faculty members who engage in sexualrelations with students attending their classes could be dismissedunder a policy adopted Thursday evening by the school's FacultySenate.

The policy, which applies to teachers and any other schoolemployees who oversee students, will be forwarded for review to uni-versity president John T. Casteen Ill.

If the proposal receives final approval, Virginia will join a grow-ing number of universities nationwide and in Virginia that haveimposed or are considering similar policies in an effort to discouragerelationships between professors and students.

Some students said afterward that they supported the resolution."This will hopefully make faculty members think before approachingamorously a student," said Sarah Alexander, 24, a second-year stu-dent from Reston, Va.

The final proposal also met the approval of the university's Com-mittee on Women's Concerns, which had drafted a more restrictiveversion that would have banned all sexual relationships, includingconsensual ones, between undergraduate students and faculty, includ-ing teaching assistants.

Biut Ann J. Lane, the school's director of wonen's studies and one

of the backers of the stricter ban, said the compromise was Strongenough because it could be broadly interpreted to cover relationshipsbetween most faculty members and students.

"It's now on the agenda. This has become a national debate onwhat professional responsibility is," Lane said.

The adopted policy says that teachers, supervisors or evaluators"shall not engage in amorous or sexual relations with, or makeamorous or sexual overtures to, any student over whom he or sheholds a position of authority." Violators ",will be subject to sanctionsranging from a letter of reprimand to dismissal."

Ross Perot voters, whose candidatecontinues to call for curbs on lobby-ist and "soft money."

Currently, special interest lobby-ists - like all other individuals -may contribute up to $25,000 peryear directly to a candidate, andunlimited sums to political parties.Many contribute to the maximum,and thus provide candidates one oftheir principal sources of campaign

rations, who are not considered tobe lobbyists even though they maybe seeking favors from the govern-ment.

The proposal also calls for liftingthe limit on individual contributionsto candidates from the current$25,000 to $60,000 per electioncycle. Within the $60,000 maximumthere would be sub-category limits.Voters could contribute up to one

Eager to move beyond the deba-cle of his economic stimulus pack-age, President Clinton next weekwill unveil a campaign financereorms package that would ban con-tributions from lobbyists to any can-didate for federal office, the LosAngeles Timres has learned.

The proposal would also virtual-ly eliminate the so-called "softmonev" contributions that are sup-posed to underwrite grass-rootsparty activities, but often circum-vent the intent of campaign financelaws by benefiting national candi-dates, according to) knowledgeablesources. Borth these proposalswould likely create a great deal ofuneasiness in Congress, wheremembers of both parties will appre-ciate the plan's voter-appeal butfear the financial sacrifice it willentail.

The campaign finance proposalwill be made public next weekalong with long-awaited details ofClintonl's program for a nationalservice program, which will offeryouing people a chance to work Sorthe country while reducing their col-lege tuition co:sts.

Locked in a conspicuous losingstreak, Clinton is hoping throughthese announcements to regain somemomentum and to beef up his earlyrecord for next week's reviews ofhis first I 00days.

Both were campaign proposalswith substantial voter appeal, andlast year Clinton hit them hard fromthe stump. Indeed, if he backs downon campaign finance reform, hisI100-day reviews are likely to accusehim again of abandoning key cam-paign pledges.

Administration officials hope thecampaign proposal will win Clintonglowing reviews with campaign-finance advocates by showing hewill risk alienating Congress whenhe will soon need their votes for hiseconomnic and health care programs.And, no less, the White Househopes the proposal will score bigwith another group: The 19 million

specified amount for candidates; upto another for political parties, and athird for grass-roots activities, suchas voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives.

Structuring the proposal in thisway is intended to head offcriticismthat "soft" money reforms wouldcould prevent legitimate politicalpurposes.

The proposals would presumablyItueI DI1cmocxats more than Republi-cans, since lobbyists give most toincumbents and there are far moreDemocrats than Republicans inCongress. The soft money proposalwould have a marked effect on theDemocratic National Committee,which now employs about 160 andpays 40 percent of their salariesfrom soft money.

Rep. Bill Thomas, R-Calif., whois closely involved with campaignfinance as the ranking Republicanon thle House Administration com-mittee, said Clinton's timing inreleasing the proposal looked '4a lit-tle suspiciouls."

He said the White House mightbe planning to offer a package thatlooks good and wins him credit '10toughness, but would be defeated inCongress.

"Then they could say 'we trid'and the Republicans would get theblame," said Thomas. And Democ-rats in Congress would keep theirfunding sources, he added.

fends.Dee Dee Myers, (Clinton's press

secretary, Thursday night declinedto comment on the campaignfinance proposal, saying it is not yetcompleted. She denied that the twoproposals were being prepared todraw attention away from Clinton'sfirst major legislative defeat, notingthat Clinton had promised the planswithin his first Ioo days.

But she added that the uliveilirig"certainly will have that effect ... Idon't think the timing hurts. Every-body is ready to get on with thebusiness that the president waselected to handle."

It remains unclear how theadministration intends to define lob-byists, and that may be a key provi-sion of the proposal. But eliminatingtheir contributions would by nomeans eliminate special interestmoney and influence in elections.

Political action committeescould continue to operate underClinton's plan. Inde'ed, by cuttinglobbyists out of the picture, the pro-posal guarantees that Congress mayniever take the much debated step ofeliminlating PACs entirely, for fearof cutting off too mulch of theirsources of campaign funds.

Furthermore, the proposalwould do nothing to curb the mas-sive amounts of monley that pourinto campaign coffers from execu-tives and employees of big corpo-

Former presidential candidate Ross Perot has told members ofCongress that he plans to mount a major public campaign against theNorth American Free-Trade Agreement including a number of paidtelevision presentations, sources said.

Perot, who opposed the free-trade pact in last year's campaign,appeared Thursday at a Senate Banking Committee hearing todenounce the pact in his strongest terms yet. The treaty, signed lastyear, is awaiting House and Senate consideration later this year.

"Last time 1 testified on this agreement, they said I wasn't specificenough," Perot said. "So let ne try to be specific: Just don't do it. It's,ot ill dcountry' 10.; o @ "'

The Texas billionaire has been telling supporters at his Unite WeStand rallies that he wants to speak to the country about NAFTA.

"We are thinking about it," said a spokesperson for his organiza-tion. "It's more an educational campaign about NAFTA than a cam-paign against it."

Jewish Holocaust while the Turkish Govern-ment will not admit to the horror of the Arme-nian people in 1915. Speaking out today iswhat we owe the 1.5 million Armenian peoplewho were massacred for no reason.

People realize that genocide can happen,even today. If the world had recognized theArmenian massacre of 1915, such events asthe Jewish Holocaust and the events in Bosrniamay have been prevented.

so they struggle to decide theshape of their futures.

Sexual tension dominatesBeirut. Blue wants Torch totake her, and take her out ofthe negative world, wherethere are no movies, no bars,and cameras are everywhere,monitoring compliance withthe laws forbidding sex.(Test-tube babies are humnani-ty's only reproductive hope.)Torch would gladly take herwere it not for the fact thathe'd also probably be killingher.

Roberts and Suwanabhandare spectacular together.Whether she's crawlingacross the bed or givingRoberts a massage, Suwanab-hand moves with a felinegrace and intensity thatunderscores her stalking ofhim. Roberts responds to hertouch with just the right

et's just get this oult of the way: Yes,someone is naked for part of this play.Nude. Naked as a jaybird. In his birth-day suit. Whatever you want to call it.

Phew. Now we can move on to the impor-tant stuff. On the whole, Beirut is not enter-taining - it's terrifying. There are funnymoments and wonderfully tense momnents. butthe overall effect is one of dread at the prox-imity of our own world to that ot the play.

In that world, Beirut is in New York City,not Lebanon. The residents have all testedpositive for a viral disease that remains narie-less but bears a haunting similarity to AIDS:It's transmitted through bodily fluids, is high-ly infectious, and attacks the immune system.Symptoms include lesions and severe weightloss. People who test positive may not showsymptoms for weeks or years, or they mayonly be carriers and never get sick.

Torch (Arthur H. Rbherts '92.) recentlytested positive, so he got a "P" tattooed on hisleft buttock and was carted off to Beirut tolive, and mostly to die, with the other Ps. Hesits in his one-room (okay, there's a bath-room too) apartment eating the cold cannedfood the government gives him and read- /ing about his disease by candlelight - heatand electricity are severely rationed for Ps.He's not showing any lesions, but thatdoesn't keep him or his lesion inspector(Daniel N. Zentner '92) frost checking.

Torch's sort-of girlfrh?! 1 Blue (CharleneM. Suwanabhand '93) is is! love with him andwants to spend the rest of her life with him.Problem is, she's negative, and negativesfound in Beirut are killed. So she buys an imi-tation P tattoo on the black market and sneaksinto Beirut to see him, and for the next hour or

Blue (Charlene M. Suwanabhand '93) stalks her lover Torch (Arthur H. Roberts '92) with an Intensitythat matches that of the AIDS-like disease Infecting the residents of Biout.

Blue to leave Beirut by reminding her aboutall the things he can no longer have. "I misspizza," he says. Soon after, she replies with"\You can't live without love," a line whichmay be impossible to cleanse of camp. Thesefailings are by far the exception, however, andthe play survives them virtually unscathed.

Beirut also succeeds technically. Haphaz-ardly organized canned food, scattered papers,and a girlie calendar on the wall help trans-form the Kresge Little Theater into a squalidhole. An eerie green light blinks on and offthrough a high window to meet the orangeglow of lamps at the sides, and strange syn-thesizer music completes the otherworldlyeffect. The rapid strobing of the green lightthat accompanies a discussion of rock clubs isan annoying distraction, however.

Despite a few lapses, Beirut is a powerfuland stunning play that will both disturb andattract you. It deserves to be seen, even if youonly go because you can't believe peoplewould do that on stage.

blend of indulgence and reluctance. When heinevitably realizes that every touch could bekilling her, the jerky suddenness of his retreatspreserves their spontaneity. Though theirinteraction becomes extremely intimate (eachfondles the other's crotch; she licks hisbehind), there is never a break or ahesitation in the

action. On

the contrary, the pair bring ariveting energy to the sexual exchanges. Onedry-humping scene near the play's midpoint isparticularly intense. Perhaps the only flaw inthe sexual presentation comes in the handlingof the play's hints of sadomasochism, anadmittedly difficult element which nonethe-less seems to have been glossed over.

The play's treatment of death is also

superb. Roberts spits lines into Suwanabhand'sface about how every drop of him is "crawlingwith cockroaches that will shit in your bloodslowly, for months" with a delicious venom.Torch's circumstances have inured him todeath in general, however, and he appropriate-ly displays this anger only when death con-fronts him directly; Blue's report of six nega-

tives hung from a lamppost for enteringi Beirut elicits only a casual. "That's unsani-

tary." Torch's and Blue's morbid anduncomprehending fascination with the devel-opment of the disease also rings true.

Though a few lines fall flat, the responsi-bility seems to lie more with Bowne than theactors. The most prominent example comeswhen Torch and Blue discuss pornographicmovies. He suggests that she satisfy her sexu-al needs by watching them instead of havingsex with him, but she proposes that they mas-turbate in front of one another. "You're not inany of them... We could be VCRs for eachother," she says. Later, Torch tries to convince

suspense of ais to be accomplished except to say that itinvolves mys-Iticism and _~TDIEenough spar- _rows (sym-_ bolic soul _ conveyors) to __blacken the -daytime sky.S

Writer and director _ George A. Romero (Creepshow, Night ofthe Living Dead! ( 1968)) has done anadmirable job of bringing Stephen King'sunique blend of visceral and psychologicalterror to the screen. There is a lot of bloodshed in the film, and like the plot, the volumebuilds to a climax. The joy of watching ThzeDark Haycomes in trying to figure out, alongwith Sheriff Pangbom, whether George Starkactually exists.

Timothy Hutton is strong in his roles asboth the pensive Beaumont and the purely evilStark, showing a finn grasp of the motivationsand emotions of each character. Amy Madi-

gan plays the reserved yet determinedwife who knows her husband is irno-

cent, but has also experiencedThad's "dark half'

Tshe Dark- Half is a complex, gripping mys-tery/horror film. The acting is tight and believ-able. The script is at times incredulous andvaries from the original novel, but works as awhole. The suspense will bring you to theedge of your seat while the bloodshed willmake your regret the $3 box of Goobers™ryou just downed.

1992 America Cup: Teamwork, Technology and Talent = Victory

Dr. Koch will describe the approaches and procedures he used in winning the 1992 America'sCup Match. Two notable differences between his approach and other aspirants for the oldesttrophy in sports are Dr. Koch's emphases on teamwork and technology. Through a technologydevelopment program based on a scientific background and a disciplined approach, Dr. Koch'steam, America3 developed the fastest boats amongst the ten competing teams. The use of atechnical and design team introduced more useful ideas into the effort than could have come froma more traditional effort involving a more restricted set of individuals.

Colendar, from Page 1 research. The summer break isessential for research projects, hesaids

"Those people that do theirresearch away from their officeshere need to have that time [over thesummer]. To take those two weeksaway is ultimately a destructiveact," Friedmnan said.

Walker said that during the sixyears he was a housemaster, heeffectively lost two weeks of timeduring the summer to administrativeduties. "It's a big chunk out of theunrestricted time I can spend on my

research,'" Walker said. "I think it'sgoing to be a substantial widen."

Role of IAP questionedVarious interpretations of the

purpose and use of IAP were at theheart of several faculty members'criticism of the calendar proposal.

Professor of Physics Robert L.Jaffe suggested that some requiredclasses be offered over IAP. "Wecould redefine JAP so that it extendsthe amount of teaching time forthose departments that want it," hesaid.

Godfrey, who spoke on a behalfof a group of intcrested students,said, "Most people we spoke withfelt that three amd a half weeks wasunsatisfactory for teaching theircourses and we feel that to increasethe number of credit-giving coursesduring IAP, it needs to be fourweeks." He endorsed giving IAY amore academic focus.

Thurow observed that althoughIAP is voluntary for students, `I1APwas not supposed to be voluntaryfor faculty. Every faculty memberwas supposed to teach during IAP.'"

Silbey, however, said there wasliti/e s-upNX =o.^g Ahe coulty for a

more academically rigorous IAP."There is no strong feeling on thegrounds of pressure and pace toforce students to be here during IAPor forcing faculty to teach," he said.

Walker suggested that IAP couldbe shortened to maintain the lengthof the summer. Silbey agreed that ifIAP were shortened to "'a two weektruly independent period" that thesummer break could be lengthened.

sis. Cutting out two weeks of thesummer can be quite a burden on[the other student's] finances," hesaid.

Walker and David H. Friedman,associate professor of the history ofarchitecture, were also concernedabout the shortened summer's effecton faculty research efforts.

Friedman explained that he andhis colleagues found teaching dutiesso time-consuming that it was diffi-cult to spend enough time on

2.70, from Page i ftr-ea aceu ILY- r Amn, h .!dir.. sCi! competitions in their respectivecountries. This year's winners fromaround the world will meet inTokyo this July for an internationaldesign competition.

The eight students who will rep-resent MIT in Japan this yearinclude the four semifinalists andfour others selected by judges fromildustry and MIT. The sixth rounddetermined that Cho, Kendrick C.Boardman '95, who came in second,Arthur Fong '95, and Mukund C.Venkatesh '95 would definitely begoing to Japan. Professor Harry

west PhD '70, who teaches 2.70.later announced that they would bejoined by Andrea L. Jensen '95,Rhonda K. Howard '95, Alfred Her-nandez '95, and Dean L. Franck'95.

The international competition isnot of the same format asAlFePETE. instead, students fromthe different countries will formteams and work on a design projecttogether. It is an exercise in commu-nication, "seeing what it is like todesign with people from other coun-tries," said Assistant ProfessorNKevin Otto, who teaches two sec-

tions of 2.70.Before the contest began, West

emphasized that the course's 'pri-mary function is educational," notmerely "a show." He said he wantedhis students to learn what he designprocess is and to experience the sat-isfaction of building a functioningmachine. He added humorously thatif you do not win it is "not becauseyou're a bad person, it's because ofphysics analysis in design."

Design strategiesJoseph P. Feehan G. who is a

2.70 teaching assistant, classifiedmost designs as pushers, elevators,and ramps with various modifica-tions. The pushers included wheel-barrows and bulldozers and were"probably safer," less risky designs,he said. in addition, there were oneor two machines that grabbed cansand tried to throw them into thebins, he said. "The ramp ones areinteresting to watch because there'sa lot of action," Feehan added.

. ., i_. _ZIL-_2 l {inoC were nu.,;-h;

ers, whose strategy was to remainon the flat top of the U and collectthe bottles. Cho's winning machinewas based on a ramp-strategy.

During the contest, Otto predict-ed that the machines that are fast andstay on the flat top of the playingfield, gathering as many of the pinkbottles as possible, would win. "Thebottles are worth a lot, and the bot-tom is too much of a mess," he said.

John M. Feland III '94, a 2.70teaching assistant, found this year'sgame plan "more exciting and inter-active" than last year's project. Itallowed students "more creativity indesign," he said.

Cho said his ramp machine wasdesigned to "beat the dump trucks."He knew that his design would bevulnerable to machines with an armor similar extension, but he correct-ly predicted that most people would

design dump trucks, or "pushers,"as Feehan called them.

Cho said that it was "mostlyluck," because most of his competi-tor's machines were dump trucks.He added that during the finalround, his ramp was broken, so hechanged his strategy.

Cho is looking forward to thecontest in Japan, "It's great - itgives me something to do this sumn-mer."

Venkatesh, one of the othersemifinalists, said, "I can't believethis thing worked!"

West said that there were "veryhigh quality machines this year." Hewas thankful for this year's motordonations from Ford and BGAMbecause the better motors "helpedall the students succeed."

High school students involvedThree teams of high school stu-

dents from Cambridge Rindge andLatin and Boston Latin also compet-ed against each other in an exhibi-.-tn match during last night's con-

test. Students from fout- hi.,-hschools had built machines for asimilar, smaller-scale contest withthe help of MIT students. This wasthe first year that high school stu-dents participated, and the outreachprogram wiii be expanded next year,West announced.

"What was so interesting washaving high school students involvedWest said. He hopes to assimilatethem more because these "skills areso fundamental" and should betaught to them. The program willcontinue to expand, he said.

During breaks before the finalrounds, artistic placebos made bylocal design firms and former 2.70students were demonstrated beforethe crowd. Also, Arthur Ganson, alocal kinetic sculptor, showed offhis machine-sculpture which gave ashort performnance.

were touching the contestant'smachine; this was occasionally aproblem when machines fell into thebins. If neither machine put an itemin its bin during a round, both wereeliminated from the contest.

mal grievance with the personneloffice. He declined to say who thecolleague was who harassed him,nor would he describe the nature ofthe hostile work environment,

"I am confident that once theinvestigation of this charge is com-pleted it will be proven that a hostilework environment was created atMIT which made it impossible for meto perforn my duties," Tewhey said.

Joan F. Rice, the director of thepersonnel office, could not commenton whether a complaint was filed.

"He has some problems I think heneeds to address at this time,"' saidProvost Mark S. Wrighton, whoaccepted Tewhey's resignation. "Ithink he has made the commitment toresolve them. I think he has done theright thing for himself and for MIT."

Nolanl alleges over 25 incidents

In the affidavit, Nolan saidTewhey harassed her over 25 times,detailing several incidents. Nolandid not return telephone messagesleft at her home yesterday. Herlawyer Wednesday said Nolanstands by her affidavit made to theNewton court.

In one incident, Tewhey alleged-1lv appeared ftor a remote side street

in Cambridge as she was leavingwork in her car the evening of April6. He pulled his vehicle very close tothe right side of her car while wait-ing for a traffic signal. Nolan saidthat at this point, the encounter vio-lated Feb. 22 Campus Police ceaseand desist orders forbidding contactbetween the two of them.

She continued: "I took a lefthand tulrn through the red light toavoid him, and he followed taking aleft turn firom the right lane until Ipulled over in proximity of an MITCampus Police station." She addedthat similar behavior occurred since

September 1992.She. ..ls; aid that Otn n>. ! 8,

1992, Tewhey waited in the parkinglot and approached her as sheentered her car. "He admitted hewas timing his departure to run intome and talk and see me. He alsostated he was so madly in love withme that he lived his life from onemoment he saw me to the next" shewrote in the affidavit.

Eisenmnann assumes duties

Assistant Dean for StudentAffairs Andrew M. Eisenmann '75was handed Tewhey's day-to-dayduties as head of the residence andcampus activities section yesterday,according to Kenneth D. Campbell,director of the news office. Associ-ate Dean Robert M. Randolph willassume overall responsibility forTewhey's department while Deanfor Undergraduate Education- andStudent Affairs Arthur C. Smith ison vacation.

"This is a difficult situation forall of us," raradolph said in a state-ment to housemasters. '"Jim hasmade major contributions to theMIT community that have made thisa better place."

A search or Tewhey's perma-nent successor will not begin untilSmith returns from vacation nextweek, Campbell said. Undergradu-ate Association Floor Leader Raa-jnish A. Chitaley '95 said he wasconfident that students would serveon that search committee.

"I think the students will bewell-served in the future as I thinkthey have been in the past,"Wrighton said. "I hope we can con-tinue to provide the services wehave in the past."

Management style questionedPast and present employees who

worked under Tewhey offered con-flicting opinions of Tewhey's man-

agerial ability before news of Tues-dav's resiOnftinn qpread

Humanities lecturer Ann Russo

has dealt with Tewhey on a number

of occasions as a lecturer in the

Women's Studies Prograr. "There's

been a number of students and staff

who have come to me with a number

of problems they've had dealing

with Tewhey," she said, adding that

she felt many harassment cases were

not handled properly.

"He did some inappropriatemanagement things," said AdamGoodie, a former Dean's Officeassistant who worked in the Under-graduate Association office. "Hehad very little contact with me,which bugged me."

But Mary Ni, assistant dean forstudent affairs, tells a differentstory. "I did hear from some peoplethat he wasn't a good boss," shesaid. "My personal assessment isthat I think he's pretty good. I havefound him to be very fair andthoughtful. His managerial style isloose, but I don't find it terriblyproblematic."

Although sources said formalcomplaints were made regardingTewhey's management procedure,Wrighton said he was not aware ofthose concerns and would nsoi corm-ment on personnel matters.

"I suspected MIT's plan was toget him out as soon as possible,"said one source who has workedwith Tewhey. "It looks better forhim to resign than be fired. I don'tthink he stands any chance of get-ting a student affairs position inBoston. It was a fait accompli thathe was going to leave," said thesource, who requested anonymity.

Tewhey Denies 0arassin Nolan4 Tewhey's Statement

Thefollowing is the text of a statement by James R. Tewhey, for-mer associate deanafor student affairs.

On April 20, 1993, 1 offered to resign my position as associatedean for student affairs at MIT. Due to the existence of a court orderagainst me, and to the hostile work environment created by harass-ment by a professional colleague, I felt my position was untenable. Inow know personally how damaging and dangerous harassment canbe, and I never have and never would engage in activities that couldbe defined as harassment. In March of 1992, I activated a formalgrievance that I had filed with Joan Rice, the director of personnel atMIT. I am confident that once the investigation of this charge iscompleted it will be proven that a hostile work environment was cre-ated at MIT which made it impossible for me to perform my duties.For the past nine months, my sole priority has been to try to priori-tize time with my family and in some way to make up for the pain Ihave caused my family.

if the Pats move their first pick toSan Francisco in exchange for thel 7th, 27th, 52nd, and 81st picksowned by the Niners. Thoughtempting, we advise against it as thePats need an impact player (whichthey can get by not picking the likesof Eugene "Everybody Wang"Chung) in order to fill the Stadiumand make Foxboro, once again, oneof those places that sends shiversdown opponents spines'. The tradethe Niners recently completed withKansas City turned out to be a goodone for the Chiefs. Not only do theyget the starting QB they need, butthey also managed to weasel adefensive back and a draft pick fromthe Niners. With a dominatingdefense and a weak division, Mon-tana will lead the Chiefs to a placeDave Krieg can only dream of.

Other thoughts: If you scan overthe needs list of all the worst teams,you will see a common ingredient:offensive linemen. They are themost underrated players on the field,yet they are vital to a team's success(see Detroit Lions 1991 vs. DetroitLions 1992). Teams are starting torealize this, as is evidenced by thefact that there was a great deal ofmoney being thrown in front of freeagent linemen this past winter...

If the NFL is to foolishly go topay per view, we would like to seethem utilize the concept developedby ABC for college football lastautumn. This would be ideal forNFL hungry fans. People in NewEngland could watch the end of aBuffalo-San Francisco thrillerinstead of laboring through the Pat-sies-Rams ' game'...

Continuing our coverage ofcricket, the most popular sport ofthe Caribbean, we lamentably reportthe retirement of English superstarIan Bothanm. In a brilliant 19-yearcareer with Durham, the "Pirate ofthe Pitch" scored 5,200 runs, cap-tured 383 wickets, diddled 754minges to a thumb, and, on defense,trapped 148 "holes in a box." Hardto believe that the 37-year-old all-rounder did this in only 102 match-

es. A lucrative career in color com-mentary is likely to follow...

Bonehead play of the weekTo Wayne Huizenga and the

front office of the latest NHLexpansion team for naming the teamthe South Florida Panthers. Not onlydo panthers have nothing to do withMiami, but it is always bad luck toname your franchise after a defunctUSFL team. Your humble scribessend in our vote for the team to becalled the Miami Humidity, sosportswriters in Little Havana coulduse the catchy phrase "The Heat isnot too bad, but the Humidity is ter-rible."

Berman's nicknames of the weekAlex Medina '92 writes to us

requesting that, since most of theMIT population does not haveESPN (yet), we keep him and ourfaithful followers abreast of the lat-est Chris erimanisms. Never deny-ing a request from a fan, we kick offthis feature with some of Alex'sfavorites: Bruce "Two minutes for"Ruffin, Al "Cigarette" Leiter, Bob"Intentional" Walk, Bert "Be home"Blyleven, Jim "'Frito" Leyritz, andJohn '"I'm not a" Kru,k This ftrewill take the place of the Globe gemof the week.

and is not at all worried about hisballooning up to 380 this past win-ter.

5. Cincinnati: Wide Receiverand a defense: Shula will reach backto his roots and take defensive forceEric Curry of Alabama.

Even though we feel the Patsieswill pick Rick "Not an ad" Mirer, ifthey really want a solid quarterbackthey should draft Bledsoe. At 6 feet4 inches, 220, Bledsoe is more ofthe prototype NFL QB than Mireris. Mirer got a lot of exposure play-ing on NBC all year and was fortu-nate to be surrounded by great tal-ent, unlike Bledsoe (many apologiesto the Cougar faithful out there inSpokane) who was flanked bymediocre players at best. Bledsoe ismore confident staying in the pocket(a trait needed by all NFL QB's out-side of Randall and Young), has astronger arm, and has comparablespeed 'although he is not quite asmobile). If New England reallywants Mirer, they should swap posi-tions with Seattle (who lust afterBledsoe) and acquire a later rounddraft pick of the 'Doves in theprocess. If your humble scribeswere at the helm of the Patsies, wewould select Eric Curry since he isthe best player in the draft (apolo-gies to Marvin Jones of FSU) andthe most likely player to dominate agame next year. The Pats would bebetter off spending the dough toacquire free agent Steve Beurlein orsome other QB to fill the gap for acouple of years.

Of course all of this will change

Trivia question of the weekThis week's question comes

from our man on the prairies, PatMoriarty in Atchison, Kan.: Whatteams were moved to form the fol-lowing major league baseball teams:Milwaukee Brewers, AtlantaBraves, Minnesota Twins, TexasRangers, and Baltimore Orioles?Send answers, comments, andfavorite Hermanisms to sportsethe-tech.

Answer to last week's question:the Colorado Rockies. Kudos toAlex Tapia '96, Matthew Olsen'93, Nick Ulman, Lester Hui, PatMoriarty, and Jonathan Sigman '95,who is duking it out with Geno Tor-res '93 for overall trivia supremacy.All1 winners (except Pat, whoseprize will be collected by son DanMoriarty G) win a free night andentertainment at the next SloanConsumption Function. Just showup at Walker Memorial with ahealthy supply of Chapstick andresumes.

Rumblings from around the 'TuteMatthew Olsen '93 writes: "The

Colorado Rockies moved to NewJersey and .i;nangd their name tosthe Devils. But, 0 JournalisticSports Studs, who moved to Col-orado to become the Rockies?"

Although it is pushing it to callus journalistic, Olsen stumped us.For our answer we turn to Pat Mori-arty: "Answer is Kansas City Scoutsto Colorado Rockies to New JerseyDevils." He also sends us the bestfirst years for expansion teams: LosAngeles Angels (1964) 70-91,Kansas City Royals (1969) 69-93,Houston Coits ( 962) 64-96, SeattlePilots (1969) 64-98, San DiegoPadres (1970) 63-99, WashingtonSenators (1961) 61-100, TorontoBlue Jays (1977) 54-109, MontrealExpos (1969) 52-110, and NewYork Mets (I1962) 40-120.

We begin our column with greet-ings and salutations to the followingMIT athletics alumni who will be oncampus this weekend: Alex Virgilio'92 and Chris Sonne '91, basketball;Will Scruggs '92 soccer; VicAntaramian '92 and John Spring-steen '91, rugby; Ken Chay '91,Lacrosse; Nathan Cultice '92, base-ball; Tom Aviv '91, crew; and SteveHao '92 and Mike Rechtin '89,swimming.

With the NFL Draft coming upthis Sunday, we present a "needs"list for the top five drafting teams aswell as our own predraft analysis:

1. New England: Quarterback,offensive line, wide receiver, logo,etc. You name it the Patsies need it.If they do keep this pick (and don'ttrade it to San Francisco), look forParcells to take Notre Dame ,rRick Mirero

2. Seattle: An offense. The'Doves will take Drew Bledsoe, aQB from Washington State. Bledsoeshould keep fans interested in thePacific Northwest, as he is a localboy.

3. Jets: Offensive line, line-backer, and running back. They willtake Willie Roaf, an offensive tacklefrom Louisiana Tech. He impressedscouts at Indianapolis enough tomove him ahead of LincolnKennedy.

4. Phoenix: Offensive line,defensive backs: Joe Bugel covetsWashington OT Lincoln Kennedy

By Darren Castro while attempting to avenge a 9-5loss earlier this season to the sameUMass Amherst squad.

The teams played a competitivefirst half that ended in a 3-3 tiewhen goalie Smith scored from justbeyond half-pool as time expired.At the start of the fourth quarter,however, the Engineers found them-selves trailing 5-4. They tied thecount at 5-5 with 5 minutes, 29seconds left when Klepser scoredfrom the hole. UMass tallied thenext two goals to pull ahead, butMIT fought back to within one at7-6 with 2:11 to go in the game.But that was all the scoring MITwould have, and UMass notched theclinching goal with under a minuteto play.

Sunday morning saw a spiritedmatch with MIT's rivals from Har-vard. Again, the Engineers werefacing a team from a college that

actively recruits water polo players.Nevertheless, MIT managed to staycompetitive for the entire match.The Engineers got on the score-board first, only 25 seconds into thematch, on a goal by Bratakos.However, at half-time, because of a3-0 Harvard run in the second quar-ter, the Crimson had taken a 5-2lead.

After the teams traded goals dur-ing the third quarter, Klepser scoredher third goal of the game oneminute into the final period to pullMIT back within three at 9-6. ButHarvard dominated the last fiveminutes of the game and went on topost the 12-6 win. Janet Woods '95played a strong game in goal, facing26 shots, many of which came on 2-on-I or 3-on-I1 breakaways. Shealso stopped a penalty shot fromthe 4-meter mark at the very end ofthe first half to keep MIT close.

Despite losing all three matchesat last weekend's water polo tourna-ment at Brown University, the MITwomen's water polo team showedgreat improvement fromn play earlierthis season. The team lost 17-4 toWesleyan College, 8-6 to the Uni-versity of Massachusetts Amherst,and 12-6 to Harvard University.

MIT was led by the four mostexperienced players: MaroulaBratakos '93, 2 goals, I assist; Bar-bara Hayes G, 3 goals, 2 assists;Cheryl Klepser G, 5 goals, 2assists; and Amy Smith G, 5 goals,1 assist.

In the first match, against a vet-eran and speedy Wesleyan team,MIT's inexperience showed as thedefense took too long to set up fol-lowing a turnover while the offensesputtered. However, in the secondmatch, MIT played much better

This match was aone game playoff which becamenecessary after both teams finished8-1 last fall and split their head-to-head series at one game apiece.Both teams displayed a high level ofintensity since the winner wouldautomatically qualify for the nation-al championship tournament.

The game started with a coupleof impressive runs by the Harvardsquad, but it was the MIT pack thatrose to the occasion. Strong forwardplay kept the ball deep in Harvardterritory until a pass by ChevyViathananthan G to T.J Cradick Gresulted in Cradick plowing over theend line for the first try. Chris PerryG split the uprights to increase thescore to 7-0. With momentum on

their side, the Beavers continued tocreate problems for the Crimson,and soon Mnpark Johnson G was out-running the Harvard backs into thetry zone for another score. Perry'ssubsequent conversion kick resultedin a 14-0 lead.

Sensing the game slipping awayfront it, the Harvard squad increasedthe intensity, pushing the ball intoMIT territory. However, Harvardwas unable to put the ball in the tryzone so the Crimson tried to get onthe scoreboard with penalty kicks.But the first two attempts wereunsuccessful, and MIT finished thehalf with a try of its own, making thehalftime score MIT 21, Harvard O.

Unfortunately, MIT" s leadslipped away during the last 500-meters, losing to Yale's 2V by nineseconds and their 3V by about sevenseats, or two seconds. Boat memberKenway Louie '93 said, "Our boatexhibited a level of composure anddetermination not seen yet this sea-son."

ed with the past two races, the MITlightweights took to the road andtraveled to New Haven, Conn.,determined to make a strong show-ing against Yale University, tradi-tionally a strong force in top-levelcollegiate rowing.

When racing day came, althoughthe MIT freshman boats lost to Yaleby significant margins, the perfor-mances of the MIT varsity boatswere quite respectable.

The second varsity race tooksecond place, with Yale's third var-sity racing alongside. AlthoughYale's second varsity pulled out

The first freshman boat had agood start and stayed with Harvardand Princeton in the beginning ofthe race. However, the Princetoncrew bolted quickly ahead of bothHarvard and MIT to finish 6 sec-onds ahead of Harvard and 26 sec-

onds ahead of MIT. In the secondfreshman race, Princeton againrowed to an early lead and finished1 I seconds ahead of Harvard and 35seconds ahead of MIT.

Lightweights meet Ivy opponents

This past week, the men's light-weight crews rowed exclusivelyagainst Ivy League schools, alwaysformidable opponents. On April 14Harvard University' s crews crushedthe Engineers. The closest race wasbetween the first varsity boats, acontest which Harvard won by a fif-teen-second margin.

First boat coxswain Otway Louie'93 noted that his boat held reason-able ground against Harvard in thefirst half of the 2000-meter race.However, Harvard was able to pullaway stronglay later in the racebecause of their greater strength and

fitness.Nevertheless, the lightweights

took to the road on Friday morningwith the intent of beating ColumbiaUniversity and rowing competitive-ly against Cornell University, lastvear's Eastern Sprints LightweightEights champion.

In the first two races, the firsttwo fireshman boats lost decisivelyto Columbia, who themselves lostdecisively to Cornell.

The next race pitted each school's second varsity boat. Rowing inlight rain, in a steady current down acanal inlet from Cayuga Lake, theCornell boat won its battle withColumbia, leaving MIT a distantthird.

Ine the final race, the Cornell firstboat defeated MIT by a twelv~e-sec-ond margin, and Columbia finishedlast. As it turned out, the Columbiafirst and second boats rowed therace in the exact same time. Asagainst Coast Guard, the MIT sec-ond varsity faced the challenge ofrowing the equivalent of eachschool's first boat.

The heavyweight crew returnedfrom Princeton University thisweekend after racing Harvard Uni--versi_- avd Princnr.. The varsity

first boat had the strongest race ofthe day, finishing only four secondsoff of Princeton and ten secondsbehind Harvard.

Traditionally, the Engineers firstboat is no match for the likes ofPrinceton and Harvard, but thisyear, despite a slow start after whichMIT was down by open water toboth Harvard and Princeton, theywere able to move back on Prince-ton and stay with them until reach-ing the finish line.

The varsity second boat had a

solid race with a very fast start,keeping even with Harvard for thefirst 500 meters of the race. Unlfor-tunately, the crew lost to Harvard by26 seconds and to Princeton by 14seconds. The varsity third boatrowed well in its race, but lost toHarvard by 40 seconds and toPrinceton by 34 seconds.

Doubles followed a pattern simi-lar to the singles, with Tsai andErickson, finished first at 6-3, 6-3,winning handily, but unhappy withtheir play, which was reduced tochipping and "pushing" the ball inthe "wind tunnel" of the end courts.Bhatia and Lomelin had less troublewith the wind, crushing their oppo-

nents with menacing net coverageand strong, well-placed volleys,6-0, 6-1. Walpole and Muelhoefergot a slower start, dropping the firstset in a tie breaker, 6-7 (6). Theycame back, however, to claifi thenext two sets, 6-3, 6-3, drowningany hopes by Connecticut of escap-ing with a win.

The last in the trio of last week'swins came on April 17, when theEngineers hosted Washington andLee University, also Division 1II.The match was also handily won bythe Engineers. The scores in singleswere: Walpole, 6--1, 6-3; Bhatia,

6-, 62; Muelhoefer, 6-7 (9), 6-4,6-3; Lomnelin, 6-3, 2-6, 2-6; Erick-son, 6-3, 6-2; Tsai, 6-2, 6-3. Indoubles the scores were: Walpoleand Muelhoefer, 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 (4);Bhatia and Lomelin, 6-I, 6-3;Erickson and Tsai, 6-3, 3-6, 3-6.

The men's tennis team had anexcellent week, bringing in threestraight wins against tough teams:Dartmouth College, ConnecticutCollege, and Washington and LeeUniversity, with final scores of 5-2,9-0, and 7-2, respectively.

On April 14, the team captured afairly straightforward win over Dart-mouth, a Division I team. Doublesbegan the match, with Nick Tsai '94and third-seeded Mark Erickson '94trouncing their opponents 8-4. Top-seeded Alan Walpole '93 and JayMuelhoefer '94 had a tougher match,twice trading service breaks withtheir opponents, and finally breakingserve with a little help from anunlucky bounce off the tape to claimthe set, 8-6. Manish Bhatia '93 andMauricio Lomelin '94, the secondseed, also had a hard match, with fre-quent service breaks by both teams,and though they took the match to atie breaker they were unable to hold%n !neinc thp <Pt R- (1I

In singles, Walpole was spectac-ular at the net but had a hard timewith his serve. This set up a tradingof service breaks, and of sets; thefirst two were split, but then theDartmouth man came back to takethe third, and Walpole fell, 3-6, 6-3,3-6. Second-seeded Bhatia got off toa tough start in his match, battlingwith solid ground strokes, but it wasnot enough to avoid a 7-5 loss in thefirst set. An early break in the sec-ond set, however, got him rollingand he took it, 6-1. Muelhoefer, thethird seed who was just coming offof an all-nighter, had trouble withhis serve. He dropped both sets, 4-6,3-6. Lomelin, fourth seed, lost hisfirst set, 4-6, but came back to takethe second, 6-3. Then he rolledthrough the first four games of thethird set before Dartmouth won theonly game it would get in that set,which Lomelin closed, 6-1. Erick-son had an easy win, 6-1, 6-2,because his Dartmouth opponentwas unable to overcome Erickson'sstrong serve-and-volley play. Tsaidropped the first set, 2-6, but cameback fiercely to win the next two,6-2, 6-3, breaking serve in the finalgame of the match.

On Friday, April 16, ConnecticutCollege, a Division III team, founditself the recipient of a sound thrash-ing, walking away from the matchwithout a victory and claiming onlytwo sets all day.

The match was won for MITearly, with five quick wins as thebottom five seeds closed their match-es in reverse order: Tsai, 6-3, 6-1;Erickson, 6-2, 6-2; Lomelin, 6-2,6-1; Muelhoefer, 6-1, 6-2; and Bha-tia, 6-1, 6-1. Only Walpole had a
