By Lee GiguereStudent influence in Institute

policy decisions will be an im-portant issue in this year's UAP /

lrace, according to two possiblecandidates. Although Karen Wat-tel has stated that she will notreplace Mike Albert as UAP, nospecial election will be held andthe post will remain vacant untilthe regular elections in earlyMarch.

Steve Ehrmann, '71, XVI,and Wells Eddleman, '71, XIIB,are both strongly consideringrunning for UAP. Both statedthat they were interested in in-creasing the student role in deci-sion making at the Institute.

Bob Dresser, '71, XV, saidthat he had been asked to runand that he is trying to find out"'if he can do something" instudent government. If he ran,he would want to "mobilize thestudent body." Howyever, he feltit was "unclear if it wants to bemobilized."

Ehrmann said that at the pre-,sent time his candidacy was un-certain because he was consider-ing the possibility of runningwith another candidate. He alsomentioned the possibility of run-ning for UAVP himself.

ParticipationEhrmann believed that the

important issue would be partici-pation on the part of morepeople in the student govern-ment. Concurrent with this, heplaced importance on getting in-formation on what people want.

Ehrmann said that he wantedto see "students working asclosely as possible with the fa-

By Alex MakowskiMike Albert received yester

day the letter from PresidentJohnson that effectively term-inates his status as an'undergrad-uate at MIT. The letter markedthe end of the formal process for"requesting the withdrawal" ofstudents cited by the FacultyDiscipline Committee.

According to Institute pro-cedure, Albert may apply forreadmission next fall. But bothProfessor Roy Lamson, Chair-man of the Discipline Commit-tee, and President Johnson warrn-ed that the mere passage of timewould not be considered suffi-cient grounds for reinstatement.Lamson elaborated, explainingthat other students expelled forsiciplinary reasons generally sub-mitted recommendations fromtheir employers or.other schoolswhen seeking reentry.

AppenlsThere is no appeal of the

Committee's decision, save for arequest to Johnson himself.Many students have criticizedthe MIT judicial system for thisfault, and Lamson agreed thatwe need a more highly organizedjudicial setup. Meanwhile, John-son had previously insisted thathe would abide by the DisciplineCommittee's recommendations.

SDS PlaitsForgetting, at least temporar-

'ily, the ideological clashes that,provoked tension between thetwo groups during the NovemberActions, the SDS chapters havejoined forces to sponsor a rallythis afternoon at 1:00 in thelobby of building 7. Claimingthat the expulsion of Albert isanother example of administra-tion and Corporation attempts"to destroy dissent," the radicalsdemanded an "End to politicalrepression at MIT," specificallyamnesty for Mike Albert and theother students involved in simi-lar cases. The other half of thedemands reiterates the NAC con-demnation of war research pro-jects.

he felt theylatent sort ofgroups have."

This could come from widerparticipation.

Ehrmann said that he wouldrun a different sort of campaign,by putting emphasis onadministration and bringing upnew ideas from the Assemblyitself. He felt that if people havesomething they want to do, theGA should be able to help themwith their project.

CommunicationEddleman felt that communi-

cation would be an importantissue. "It is important thatpeople know what's going on."Eddleman'said that in the past3studentgovernment has been a"playtoy for student politicians"of both extremes. He believesthat student government should'assert student opinion." How-ever, its influence "depends onthe quality of its work."

Eddleman said he would'"look into incorporating the stu-dent government" in a mannersimilar to that at Caltech. Thiswould allow the GA to sponsorresearch. At the same time, how-ever it would also increase thegovernment's legal liability.

Activist running mateWhen asked about possible

running mates, Ehrmann saidthat he is looking for one or twotypes of people. His first choicewould be an activist, who wouldwork with the administrationwhile leaving him free to serve asa sort of general coordinator. Hissecond choice would be a freshm-an or sophomore who showedpromise in student government.He felt that this would provideneeded continuity in the spiritof the government.

Eddleman said that he waslooking for a running mate withwhom he could work effectively.He also said that it would beimportant for his choice to havea philosophy similar to his.While he would consider thevote-getting value of his runningmate, he did not feel this was animportant factor.

Last year's raceLast year's presidential cam-

paign was characterized by con-fusion over just who was run-ning. Jim Smith, a strong con-tender who had run the yearbefore, entered, withdrew, thenentered again late in the race.Mike Albert, the eventual victor,declared himself a candidate toolate to be listed on the ballot,and ran on a write-in campaign.

The main issue last year wasradical reform -- Smith and Al-bert, the two top finishers, bothadvocated far-reaching changesin MIT s educational policy.

Major shakeups in the Insti-tute administrative structureconcerned with the Special Lab-oratories took place during thevacation period.- Thursday, Professor of Phy-sics Albert Hill confirmed ru-mors that he would succeed Dr.Jack Ruina, currently Vice Presi-dent for Special Laboratories.Ruina was not available for com-ment.

LAB SPIN-OFF DUE

Hanscom Air Base, site ofLincoln Lab, rumored to

be phased out soonBy Harvey Baker

Dr. C. Stark. Draper, formerdirector of the InstrumentationLaboratory, said in an interviewwith a Boston Globe reporterearlier this week that he was"discussing informally with of-ficials in Washington" the pos-sibility of moving the Labs intothe newly closed NASA centerin Kendall Square.

The closing of the uncom-pleted center was announcedDecember 29 by NASA Ad-ministrator Thomas Paine. Ter-mination of the center at thistime will likely damage the econ-omy of the Boston area, unless itis taken over by another federalagency that can make use of itsfacilities, at the present thoughtto be the most likely possibility.

Draper's statements wereimmediately refuted by Presi-dent Howard.Johnson, who an-nounced in a statement releasedby the Public Relations Officethat "Dr. Draper has been mis-quoted or misconstrued."

"MIT has not been talkingformally, informally or other-wise with anyone in Washingtonabout use by MIT of the NASAproperty in Cambridge."

Future of Lincoln LabIn an unrelated story, Hans-

com Field, site of MIT's LincolnLaboratory, is rumored to bemoving to Rome, New York, forconsolidation with Griffith AirForce Base, in an economymove. While Lincoln's work isnot directly tied to Hanscome,but rather to the Air Force as awhole, the land on which it restsis owned by the Air Force,which if it sells out, would forceLincoln either to buy the land

or relocate.At present, neither option is

under consideration by the In-stitute, whose Vice President incharge of Special Laboratories,Jack Ruina, stated in an inter-view with The Tech, that he had"absolutely no information"about the rumored move. None-theless, job placement servicesare already said to be preparingto canvass employees at the Labin anticipation of the potentialmove.

The idea of consolidatingHanscom and Griffith is not anew one. Eight years ago a simi-lar move was proposed, but atthe time Griffith was reported tobe coming to Hanscomn ratherthan vice versa. The facilities inthe Boston area are far superiorfor research than those in Rome,New York, and Vice-PresidentRuina said he would be"shocked" were the Hanscomnmove to be consummated.

HARVARD REBUFFSCIS PROJECT CAMDecision will not interrupt

work of CIS staff,Pool affirms

By Joe KashiHarvard participants in the

Cambridge Project (CAM) havewithdrawn a motion whichwould have asked Harvard toconfer special status upon Har-vard participation in the project.

According to Edward New-man, Professor of Psychologyand spokesman for the Harvardparticipants in the project, themotion asked President NathanPusey of Harvard to appoint theHalvard representatives to thegoverning board of the project.However, other members of theHarvard faculty objected thatthis would confer a special statusto the controversial project. TheHarvard participants agreed, andthe motion was accordinglywithdrawn by the project'smembers.

Newman emphasized thatHarvard did not forbid facultyparticipation in the project aswas implied in Wednesday's Har-vard Crimson. "Further," hesaid, "Harvard has taken no of-ficial action on the project otherthan to approve faculty partici-pation through its Committee onResearch Policy."

Professor Ithiel Pool saidthat the most important resultofthe controversy was thatagreement was reached in ad-vance that Harvard participantswould not seek the involvementof Harvard as an institutionalsponsor.

None of the principals in theproject expected lack of officialinstitutional representation byHarvard to have a significanteffect on participation of Har-vard faculty in the project.

'COMMITTEE SETSPRIVACY GOALSBy Werner Schlegal

The preliminary report ofthe Committee on the Privacy ofInformation at MIT, recently re-

,leased to the community, ad-dresses itself to the-problem ofprotecting individuals against theinvasion of their rights of pri-vacy. The report observes thatno serious violations of individu-al privacy have come to thecommitte's attention ;.,there is avery real danger.

AccessaliilityThe basic suggestions of the

committee cover the setting upof guidelines .for -ate assimila-tion, use, and dissemination ofinformation concerning mem-bers of the MIT community.One of the important issues dis-cussed is the accessability ofinformation. The individual, ac-cording to the report, shouldhave access to information- per--taining to himself. That is, hehas the right to know whatrecords exist about him, theaccuracy of the information, andits potential use by other peopleoutside his control.

Concerning the collection ofinformation, the guidelines callfor justification for information.gathered, an indication of in-tended use included on question-naires and other forms, and aseperation of sensitive personalmaterial from other records.Forms such as applications foradmission and financial aid,which contain an implicit sanc-tion against non-compliance,would have a statement of con-sequences, if any, for withhol-ding information. Also includedis a suggestion that personal in-formation be destroyed after ithas ceased to be useful.

Physical securityThe physical security of in-

formation was also touched up-on. The committee found- that,-on the whole, files were ade-quately locked and supervisedexcept in a few instances. Thepossibility of unauthorized andanonymous use of informationwas also discussed, and it wasfelt that with adaquate safe-guards this problem would beavoided.

The committee also sur-veyed the present state of lawconcerning the privacy of infor-mation in order to determinewhat protection an individualhas under the law and to deter-mine where action can be takento expand present legal protec-tions. For example, present lawswhich cover the immunity tosubpoena of such priveleged in-formation as communicationsbetween religious counselors andmembers of their congregationscould possibly be extended toinclude written communicationsof a private nature between astudent and his advisor.

on(Continued from page 1)ment, President Johnson addedin his statement that he was"suprised and disappointed'that the new NASA facility wasbeing closed down. He empha-tically -denied, however, thatMIT was enthusiastic about theclosing so that it could buy thecenter for itself. Issued simultan-eously with the President's state-ment was a denial by Dr. Draperof what the Globe reporter tookto be_ his previous remarks.Draper said in the Public Rela-tions release that "he had made

Significantly, this statement wasnot specifically denied either byPresident Johnson, Dr. Draper,or Vice President Ruina. In fact,Ruina, when queried as to thepossible structure of the I-Labsfive years hence, stated that hesaw two real possibilities emer-ging. First, a successful conver-sion of the Lab to doing bothmilitary and civilian work mightoccur; secondly, circumstancesmight dictate that the Labs bespun off. Whatever the casethough, Ruina added- that hewould be "greatly surpised" ifthe NASA center .were actuallypurchased outright by MIT forthe exclusive use of the Labs.

A more realistic possibility,he imagined, would be for thecenter to become a federal re-search lab, with MIT involved insome of the 'projects it wouldundertake. This, he indicated,would be the most desirablesolution of all for the problem,because, it would make the bestpossible use of the already builtcenter, would involve the Insti-tute in research projects in someways, and also would take ad-vantage of the general wealth ofthe Boston area in scientificknowledge.

The report emphasized the.role played by open communica-tion between members of theInstitute community in prevent-iing the occurrance of violence."Shocking violence did not oc-cur, but it is felt that this camefrom the words directed to itsavoidance rather than the hand-ling of events." Miss Wattel alsoemphasized the importance ofthe role played by the campusmedia and the ad hoc informa-tion center in providing mem-bers of the community withaccurate information about whattook place.

The report also notes that"this was the first time thatstudents were allowed in the

.. Faculty Council meetings as par-iticipants, referring tio the Stu-dent Advisory Group.

Prof. Lyndon then summar-ized the section of the reportdealing with'faculty reactions.'He said that now "a large num-ber of faiculty did have a greater

.sense 'of Urgency" in'looking atthose issues'presented by NAC.The resuits of the week, how-ever, Were to chafge priorities.rather than add new informa-"tion. ILyndon said that there is';cofisiderable "concern amongthe .faculty' to organize themsel-ves -to ome .fo grips ', - vith theseissues. He als6 pointed out that,as is stated in the re6ij6t, there is'anxiety on some people's partthat 'political staice' 'will enterinto academic questions."

The third section of the re-port summarized the legal ac-tions taken 'by MIT with respectto the NAC. It states that MIThas not yet made its final reportto the court and has left openthe possibility -Of legal actionagainst those named in the tem-porary restraining order.

The- fourth section reviewsthe events of the week in the

':context of how both' sides actedto avoid violence.

The report closes with a briefsummary of the questions facingthe Institute. which the' Novem-ber Actions served to emphasize.It cites the need for "both acommunal spirit and a clearlyunderstood common law." Italso repeatedly states that thereis a' need' for -a new systemwithin the Institute for formu-Iating community goals and de-termining both priorities and thesolutions to new questions.

Miss Wattel concluded herpresentation by saying that theonly position of the subcommnit-tee was that it is-"of the highestimportance that these questionsbe answered, not by smallgroups but by large groups ofpeople coming together."

In the discussion that fol-lowed, Marv Keshner '71, poin-ted out that rules governing re-search should come from withinand not be the result of externalforce,' whether.fhfiS-be some sortof artificial legislating within thecommunity or the result of thedecisions of some funding organ-ization such as the government.He said that the guidelinesshould be 'decided upon bythose people whose freedom isgoing to be restricted."

The difficulty of the taskfacing MIT was emphasized byone person who pointed out thatin the past it's always been easierto set up new institutions tosolve technological problemsrather than convert old ones.Comparing this to the greatercomplexities of social conver-sion, he asked, "can social con-version succeed?"

Gregory Smith, chairman ofCJAC, noted:

"There comes a time whenyou have to ask if discussion istaken seriously." He then endedthe meeting by saying: "I thinkit is taken seriously at this Insti-tute."

By Lee GiguereA lively discussion of the

effect of the November Actionson MIT took place at an openmeeting of the CorporationJoint Advisory Committee justbefore the Christmas vacation.

The meeting, which was heldon Friday, December 19, openedwith the presentation by KarenWattel of the Committee's re-port on "observations and reflec-tions" concerning the NovemberActions.

The report was prepared by aspecial subcommittee consistingof: Randy Hawthorne '71,Karen Wattel '70, Prof. Hay-wood Alker, Prof. DonlynLyndon,,and James Champy, amember of the Corporation.While the report was issued by.OJAC, it was not signed by thefull committee because "theydid not feel they necessarilyagreed with every detail."

In her opening remarks, MissWattel explained that the reportwas "not meant to be a total'overview of the November, Ac-tions." She followed this with asummary of the first p~it of thereport which- concerned. com-munications during the week ofthe November Actions.

been offered "a total of $130million worth of new militaryresearch work to be done overthe next four or five years."

The controversy stimulated wasparticularly high, due to a state-ment contained therein thatshould Dr. Draper be successfulin bringing the new contracts tothe Instrumentation Lab, thatthe nature of these contractsmight necessitate "a split-offfrom MIT." In short, this meansthat the Labs might be spun off.

There were three reasons givenfor Albert's expulsion. The firstwas his participation at the dis-ruption of the Alumni meetingin the early fall of 1969. Thesecond was his presence at andparticipation in the disturbanceat the Placement Office at thetime of the recruiting by Gen-eral Electric representatives. Thethird was his show of "dis-respect" before the Committee

on Discipline during its in-vestigation of the GE incident. Ihave nothing to say about thefirst incident, for which Mikeand several other students wereadmonished. The last two in-cidents, however, seem to mre toshow -clearly that the real chargeagainst Mike is that he has dif-ferent views than the ad-ministration of MIT and that heexpresses them in a way which isunintelligible to many membersof the administration andfaculty.

The disturbance at the Place-ment Office at the time of theGE recruiting is a clear case ofdiffering political views: the ad-ministration taking one view,and a number of studentsanother. The Committee onPlacement Services establishedthe right that any "bona fideemployer" has the right to re-cruit MIT students. This policywas established after a picketand sit-in had taken place at thetime of recruiting by DowChemical in 1967, in which over

UAP expulsionThe manner in which the Discipline Committee handled the case

of UAP IMike Albert represents a dangerous precedent and a threatto. the rights of students in due process in disciplinary matters. Itillustrates the utter bankruptcy of the Institute's current judicialstructure and the need for thorough reforms.

There have been a number of incidents, both during theNovember Actions and in other circumstances, which have involvedAlbert and might be appropriate for judicial action, perhaps leadingto expulsion. However, the events which are cited as cause for thecommrnr, -ecommendation strike us as being a cover for the realreason for the expulsion: Albert's activities in organizing theNovember Action Coalition. Yet the Rogers Panelwhich investigatedthe events of November determined that organizational activities onbehalf of NAC did not constitute grounds for disciplinary action.

One incident contributing to the committee's recommendationwas Albert's disruption of the Discipline Committee hearings onDecember 17. While we do not condone disruption of thoseproceedings, neither do we know of any authority which thatcommittee has to inflict punishment for what amounts to contemptof court, and in light of the way the proceedings have been handled,we hardly find the defendants' frustration suprising.

The other cause -given for the recommendation is "activeparticipation" in a demonstration (October 29 outside the Place-ment Office in a protest against GE recruiting) in which violence waspresent. It an individual is to be expelled, it should be because ofsome concrete act of violence commited by him rather than hispresence in a group which is judged by subjective standards to be"violent". We find it significant that Albert was singled out of thecrowd of demonstrators when he was no more "violent" thananyone else.

There were other instances of lack of due process as well. Forreasons we cannot understand, the MIT judicial system still placesthe Dean "for" Student Affairs in the multiple roles of plaintinff,prosecuting attorney, and member of the jury. The fact that he doesnot vote in the final decision is immaterial; the system amounts tohaving the plaintiff and his counsel present during the deliberationsof the jury. Furthermore, the short notice of the proceedings -mailed only 96 hours before the session - did not allow thedefendants time to arrange for the presence of witnesses to speak ontheir behalf. We have not and do not condone violence on thiscampus. While we -agree with the point of view that any violencewhich has occurred here is miniscule in relation to what the US hasdone in Vietnam, it is not clear that violence here will solveanything. At the same time, we wish that those who object mostloudly to "violence" at home would devote as much time and energyto ending the violence we are perpetrating abroad.' We cannot support expulsion of students except after due

process has been followed. The entire matter should be reopenedafter safeguards for due process are established.

-Wel done, Last April, a possible new era in university-community relationsbegan as MIT announced a proposal for "A Housing Program inCambridge". The Institute was ending its years of communityaloofness with a proposal of truly significant magnitude. It hadassembled five sites in the city which had the potential for 1600 newdwelling units, representing a 5% increase in the city's total housingstock. About 750-of these units would-be developed under federalprograms for low-income families and elderly persons, representing a45% increase in the city's supply of subsidized units for poorhouseholds.

As iAntony Herrey, MIT Real Estate Officer and co-ordinator ofMIT's, housing efforts, explained in a recent article in UrbanactionMagazine: "We were seeing mounting evidence of hardships inhousing experienced by MIT personnel and Cambridge residentsalike... As a citizen of Cambridge, we concluded, the time had comefor us to assist the city by-taking a firm initiative."

The word "initiative", had been stressed in MIT's announcement.The proposal Was an offer, not a promise; its- viability was entirelydependent on the support 'of the city government and the citizensfrom the neighborhood s involved. Considering the suspicion andmisrust .which, many citizens held mwarrd the universities, thissrpport certainly could not be take for granted at the outset.

'During thepast s6¢iral mnolths, MIT has worked tirelessly to allayfTears of those who might have questioned its motives. After agrueling schedule. of planning meetings, neighborhood surveys,coffeehoursj open houses; and bus tours, MIT succeeded in winning

,sifficient community support so that, by the end of 1969, theCambridge City Council approved the necessary zoning changes forfour Of the five sites.

Despit e the fact that MIT has succcumbed to the pressure of.neighborhood fears and biases in agreeing to develop mostly unitsfor the elderly rather than for low-income families andnotwithstanding the fact that the yet-to-be approved fifth sitecomprises about half the total units in the program, it is apparentthat MIT deserves congratulations for the progress it has made on itshistoric program.

Not until the developments are completed, inhabited, andevaluated will we know for sure whether MIT's ambitious departurefrom the ivory tower has been truly successful. Hopeful that theprojects will continue on their slow but well-guided path tocompletion, we commend the Institute's exemplary effort atbecoming a major and constructive citizen of the Cambridgecommunity.

250 students sat in at the Place-ment Office to protest. There isa question which the Committee

* on Placement Services did notanswer, however, in determiningits policy; i.e., is a companywhich is the object of a-nation--wide strike a "bona fide em-ployer" at the time of thestrike? The answer, to me, isthat it is not; the university istaking sides in the dispute byhelping such a company recruitworkers at a time when otherworkers are striking, and isthereby taking a political stand.This is the view of the strikingworkers who distributed leafletsat MIT urging MIT students toboycott the recruiting and notto scab. It is entirely reasonable-to demand that a companywhich is the object of a nation--wide strike postpone itsrecruiting until after the termination of the strike, with what-ever attendant difficulties suchpostponement would engender.If such questions had ever beenasked by the Committee onPlacement Services, there mighthave been a policy along theselines. The fact is that the Com-mittee on Placement Servicesconceived of a "bona fide em-ployer" in a very simplistic andnarrow way, excluding from itsdecision considerations of thistype, 'which are critical for any-one who takes a pro-labourview. The issue is entirely apolitical one.

The situation itself might nothave become as fraught withpotential for physical violence,however, if several - but not all- of the members of the Com-mittee on Placement Serviceshad not taken it upon them-selves to decide the question ofwhether G.E. - with a national

.strike on its hands- had the-right to recruit, and to enforcetheir decisions themselves. Thus,when Walter Rohsenhow, Chair-man of the Committee, heardthat there was a plan to picketthe G.E. recriiter, he tried tocontact the members of his com-mittee to ask them to come tothe Placement Office in case oftrouble. Pete Eagleson and ErikMollo-Christianson both showedup, and both placed themselvesin a position to "defend" theentrance to the PlacementOffice. Micheal Piore, anothermember of the Committee, re-fused to go to the PlacementOffice, because he felt that thebest policy would have been toinform the demonstrators thatdisciplinary charges would bebrought against them in theevent of obstruction, and not toconfront the demonstratorsphysically. Rohsenow replied tothis suggestion of Piore's byclaiming that disciplinary pro-cedures would be ineffective.Thus, he and a few members ofhis committee decided to giveG.E. the right to recruit and toenforce that right. This is, ex-actly, the same thing that thestudents did: they decided to

refuse G.E. the right to recruitand to enforce that decisionthemselves. Both sides claimthat they intended to obstructthe other side, but not to in-itiate violence, Some pushingoccured. There is no reason tobelieve that the students are anymore responsible for that push-ing than the members of theCommittee on Placement Ser-vices whp were at the scene thatmornig.

The decision to- consider theevents at the G.E. recruiting - afactor in. disciplining Mike Al-bert - or any other student -istherefore a political decision,based on a view of the legit-imacy of recruiting during a

The recent decision of theCommittee on Discipline toexpel Mike Albert '69 calls intoquestion the role which dis-ciplinary procedures should haveat MIT. There is no doubt that,at other universities, the role ofuniversity disciplinary com-mittees has been a political one,designed to serve university ad-ministrations by repressing un-desired political activity. Thus,though there are already Federa!laws which serve to regulate pol-itical activity, such as thosewhich would make it illegal forany university to administerFederal fellowships to studentswho have participated in dis-ruptive activities, governmentauthorities clearly believe that themost effective form of re-pression is internal universitydiscipline. In particular, there isa widespread feeling that stu-dents are far more unwilling toface expulsion from a universitythan court charges for trespass,assault, or the other chargeswhich might be expected toarise from a demonstration. Astatement to this effect wasmade, for example, by Mass-achusetts Attorney GeneralQuinn this past fall at a pressconference following a con-ference of university presidents.In this light, the decision toexpel Albert must be carefullyexamined to see if it is not apolitical decision, one whichamounts to punishing a man forhis ideas and life-style.

Engineers want DODresearc to continue

I

By Robert Elkin

(Editor's note: This article is theresult -of two weeks of interviewswith the staff and administration ofthe Instrumentation Laboratories, aswell as studi'es of nrious faculty and3dininistraton reports and releases)

Once considered heroes bytile nation for their contributionto space flight and national de-fence, now suddenly condemnedby their own community forcontinuing to do this very samework, the Instrumentation.Lab-oratories face an uncertain fu-ture.

The attack on the labs beganlast spring with Agenda Days.Following this, the administra-tion created a special panel toreview the operations and pro-grams of the special laboratories.Now there is the present intensedebate by faculty members andstudents on the implementationof the reccomendations of thereview panel or the adoption ofother alternatives. In addition,the founder and leader of thel-Labs, Dr. Charles Stark Draper,

oratory brought the total mem-bership to 22.

A majority of engineers andtechnicians feel that .there weretoo many members on the panelrepresenting the radical point ofview and not enough repre-senting the laboratory. Notingthe presence- of Chomsky, Pro-fessors Peter Elias and VictorWeisskopf, both members of theUnion of Concemned Scientists,and Jonathan Kabat and JeromeLerman, members of SACC, sev-eral engineers called it a"stacked" panel.

No strong defence viewSteven Allen, an engineer at

IL-3, stated that, "I can't reallyidentify the people on the panelwho stood up for defence or, asit is frequently called, war-related research. I can identifypeople who have strongly stoodup in opposite directions."

Amplifying this view, manyworkers noted the absence ofany laboratory representativecurrently engaged in classifiedmilitary research. Gilbert S.

all other working papers. Strat-ton was a former president, andMorison while a member of theMIT faculty was concerned withthe issues.

Major questionMuch of the dissatisfaction withthe Pounds Panel report revolvesaround one question: What typeof research should the Labs doand who should determine it?

The Pounds Panel found thatthe present programs at the labsare "limited in range of spon-sorship, to a large extent mil-itary in orientation, and large intotal scale." This represented aserious problem of' imbalancecompared with the entire scopeof research done at MIT. Thepanel therefore called for a bet-ter overall mix in MIT researchprograms.

To accomplish this aim, thepanel recommended that "thelaboratories and MIT should en-ergetically explore new projectsto provide a more balanced re-search program," and that MITshould establish a standing com-mittee on the special lab-oratories to review new con-tracts and make re-commendations concerning pro-grams at the laboratories.

While some I-Lab employeesfeel that a change is .desireableand inevitable, a majority believethat the present scope of DODwork should be continued.Many cite the need to maintainAmerican military superiority inthe light of recent advances inweaponry in the Soviet Union.They feel that as long -as thegovernment wants the lab-oratories to continue doing sig-nificant amounts of defene re-search, the laboratories shoulddo it.

Many support the position ofAlfred Freeman, engineer atIL-3, who believes that "thelaboratories should perform thekind of work they are bestcapable of performing, and ofcourse the work that is mostneeded. I can concieve of asituation in which the specificlaboratories do nothing but de-fence work or nothing butsocially-oriented work."

However, Richard Haltmaier(an assistant, director of thePoseidon project) stated de-finitively, "I have no intention

to "successfully convert thelabs." Most feel that this isinevitable but few forsee it inthe near future.

The question of whether con-version is technically feasibledrew divergent answers. Mostfelt that the InstrumentationLaboratories could expand intorelated civilian areas since a largepart of military research hascivilian applications. Sapuppofeels that the I-Labs have anadaptable enviornment and. thetechnical capability to do thiswork, provided that there issome continuity in defencework. However, a large numberof staff members feel that a longtransition period would beneeded for the laboratory toreach its potential.

Others, however, are of theopinion that the particular tal-ents are not there to work insuch areas as air pollution. Oneengineer, while acknowledgingthat the laboratories could dosomething on air traffic control,termed the number of such areaslimited.

While undecided on whetherthe government, the MIT ad-ministration, or the laboratoryitself should make the decisionsconcerning the mix and scope ofresearch, a large number of tech-nicians, engineers, and lab-

oratory administrators had re-servations about the ability of astudent-faculty committee togive advice in this area. Manyagree that the concept of havinga group of some sort pass onwhat sort of work is done at thelaboratory is reasonable andproper, but believe that thereview committee as set uptoday is unsatisfactory.

One engineer stated that astanding committee should havesome responsibility for theoperation of the laboratory aswell as "just the ability at whim.to make recommendations thatare extremely important to the.continued existance of the lab."He referred to the section of thePounds Panel report whichrecommends that the standingcommittee not have a formalveto power but recognized that"a strong recommendation bythe committee would be hard toresist."

Steven Allen -declared that

ministration's whims, having novoice at faculty meetings.

Terming the faculty arrogantand aristocratic, Kenneth Fertigremarked that in something de-fined as a three-part community,composed of faculty,' students,and staff, "the faculty assumeseverything. The faculty has norecognition of those below."

Engineers cite examples to sub-stanitiate their charge. PhilipBowditch notes that while grad-uate students do their-researchunder the direction of an I-Labengineer, theses can only besupervised by faculty members.Another engineer noted thatseveral years ago, a committeecomposed entirely of facultymembers, in the process of re-viewing faculty and staff patentrights, made changes granting thefaculty greater privileges.

Many staff members of the lab-oratory have seriously con-sidered the possibility of divest-ment as an alternative to thepresent situation. In fact, accord-ing to one group leader, therehave already been several meet-ings of senior staff members todiscuss the feasibility of sep-arating the laboratories fromMIT.

While many engineers,especially those who are alumniof the Institute, would prefer theI-Labs to remain a part of MIT,there is an almost unanimousfeeling on the part of all em-ployees that divestment might bea necessity in order to "maintainthe integrity of the laboratory."They cite restraints imposed bythe faculty on contracts, one--sided control exercizsed throughthe standing committee, andpersonnel cuts brought about bythe expected loss of funds re-sulting from the discontinuanceof defence research as factorswhich will contribute to a de-cision.

There is no single answer towhether the laboratories can ef-fect a separation by themselves.All contracts are with the In-stitute and not the laboratory.While most of the equipmentincluding desks, tables, andchairs is owned by the govern:ment, it is also leased to theInstitute for the duration of thecontract. For these reasons,many believe that any form ofseperation would require themutual agreement of the lab-oratories and MIT.

Unilateral separationSeveral engineers feel that the

I-Labs can unilaterally force aseparation. They point out thatthe government has the author-ity to break contracts at anytime. Therefore, with the co-operation of the government, theI-Labs could be set up as a sep-erate entity without the agree-ment of'the Institute. Accordingto one engineer, it.would be as"simple as repainting the signson the door."

'David Hoag feels 'that such amove can,. be, 'successful.,- Hestated,: "we. are sitting with ahair.trigger. If the faculty votesfor either conversion o'rdivestment and starts down oneof the. roads in an impractical.sense... the majority of the.labpeople, an organized movementby the lab as a whole, will effecta separation in the way they arehappy."

As the situation appears now,there is not .enough moneyavailable for non militaryresearch projects to cover thepotential loss of major militarycontracts. A significant portionof the faculty is currently infavor of divestment. Therefore,it appears that by May, when theseven-month trial period for theimplementation of the PoundsPanel recommendations comesto an end, the InstrurmentationLaboratories will no longer be apart of MIT.

was retired by the MIT adminis-tration from the job of directorsix months in advance of a pre-viously agreed-upon date.

The employees of the l-Labsfeel they have been 'given thebad side of a very raw deal. Theybelieve that the I-Labs haveplayed a major part in makingMIT the prestigious technologi-cal institution it is supposed tobe, and are thus very critical ofwhat they consider the Insti-tute's shabby treatment of thelabs during the past few months.Much of this criticism is directedagainst the operations and find-ings of the Review Panel on theSpecial Laboratories (commonlyknown as the Pounds Panel).

The Pounds Panel was cre-ated, had its members ap-pointed, and held its first officialmeeting in the space of threedays. President Howard John-son, in a letter to the MITcommunity dated Friday, April25, 1969, announced the forma-tion of the review panel to "con-duct a full assessment of thelaboratories' relationship toMIT." He requested a prelimi-nary report from the panel byMay 31, with the final reportdue October 1. Johnson alsoincluded a list of people whomhe intended to ask to serve onthe panel.

The panel met informally onthe following day, and held itsfirst official 'meeting (i.e., of-ficial transcripts of the pro-ceedings began with this session)on Sunday.

,Citing such factors as an al-legedly unrepresentative panelcomposition and a too-earlydeadline, many l-Labs workersfeel that the Pounds Panel couldnot have done a proper job ormade fair and impartial recom-mendations.

Composition of panelChaired by William F.

Pounds, Dean of the SloanSchool of Management, the,panel was originally composedof 18 members: two from theadministration, eight facultymembers, two engineers repre-senting the Lincoln and Instru-mentation Labs, two ¢graduatestudents and one undergraduatestudent, one alumnus, and 'twomembers of the MIT Corpora-tion. The panel added ProfessorNoam Chomsky XXI and grad-uate student Jerome Lerman atits initial meeting April 26. Sev-eral days later, the addition ofPhilip Bowditch of IL-11 andGerald Dinneen of Lincoln Lab-

Stubbs, an assistant director atIL-7, pointed out that WilliamDenhard, the only I-Lab em-ployee considered for the panelwho was currently involved insuch work, was rejected.

David Hoag, member of thepanel and director of the Apollogroup at IL-7, agrees that theimpartiality of the panel washurt by the lack of a personrepresenting classified war re-search. Such a representativecould have produced a bettercross-section of I-Lab input.Noting that he had not workedon military programs since 1961,Hoag feels he was forced to takea role he was not prepared toassume.

One employee, however, de-bated whether any particularperson could represent as diversea group as the labs. A minorityfelt that the laboratories actuallyhad adequate representation inthat a mechanism existed where-by I Lab workers could presentinformation through statementsand testimony before the panel.

Certain I-Lab staff membersfeel that the four to five weekworking period of the panel wastoo short a time to adequatelydeal with the issues. Dr. MicheleSappupo of IL-1 stated that hecouldn't really see how theycould have assimilated all thedata concerning the workings ofthe labs in that time. PhilipBowditch believes that it wasimpossible to properly assess andfully understand the subject in amcv.th.

Hoag stated that the problemwas one of such an urgent naturethat a massive attack was calledfor. Though the panel spentmuch of May listening to speechafter speech of people's personalviews, he feels that it wasn'tuntil the last few days in Maythat the panel really faced theissues.

Uninterested participantsOne engineer strongly at-

tacked what he felt was an ap-parent hack of participation onthe part of two panel members,Prof. Elting Morison of YaleUniversity and Julius Stratton,Corporation member and formerMIT president. He asserted thatneither man spent more thanfour days actually attendingpanel proceedings.

Pounds replied that this didnot affect the report in any waysince both men were familiarwith the operation of the labor-atories and received copies ofthe proceedings' -transcripts and

of leaving DOD flat in any cir-cumstance. DOD needs me."

This leads to the question ofwhether conversion or a shift inthe present mix of 50% DODsponsored work and 50% NASAand non-defense research ispossible.

Shift possibleMost of the I-Lab employees

point out the present lack offunding for major projects innon-defence areas. Paul Watson,an engineer at IL-7 and a par-ticipant in the SACC ConversionConference, pointed out that"the laboratory to a large extentis a reflection of our society,especially the government.Presently, many branches of thegovernment are not supportinglarge amounts of non-militarywork."

Kuri Kunimi, engineer atIL-1, commented on Con-gressional allocation of funds toDOD. "As soon as they allocatethat kind of money to DOD,then we won't be able to havefunds necessary to undertakesignificant work in civilian anddomestic areas, unfortunately."

Several engineers remarkedthat only a reordering ofnational priorities would pro-duce sufficient sources of funds

the guidelines used by thecommittee must be clear andsufficiently general. Accordingto Samuel Forter, definitions thecommittee makes on what areacceptable contracts and whatare not accepts'.; Is must bereasonably brc . hey are tobe practical. A narrow definition"could lead to' nothing buttrouble."

However, .one staff engineerw-arned that it would be"s.omewhat assinine to considerthese people capable of judgingvarious contracts." KennethFerteg, group leader , at 1L-6,agrees with many that thestudents and faculty have noexperience, and, not knowingthe full ramifications of manycontracts, are incapable ofjudging the type of work that iscoming in.

I-Labs disenfranchisedThe situation has been ag-

gravated by the feeling of amajority of l-Lab employees thatthey might have no voice in theMIT community, especiallywhen it considers policy mattersrelating to the laboratories. Ac-cording to Philip Bowditch,many have the feeling that theyare slaves. captives of the ad-

Some perspective before I begin in earnest. Massacres in Viet-nam and throughout the ThirdWorld, death and degradationdue to racism and chauvinism,poverty both economic and spi-ritual that reigns everywhere dueto systems- we have been taughtto call Democratic or perhapsprimitive, it is of these that Ihave written in the past. Imperi-alism which enslaves us all anddemocratic socialism which willfree even the masters are thecenter of concern in this lettertoo, though in a more round-about fashion than usual.

Ever since 'barnyard fever'began to rear its piggish head atMIT even the most apoliticalhave talked about repression-what it is and what to do about

myself who were doing some-thing I could do - but wasn'tdoing. I decided that in thefuture I would think before Icheered and that I would do thethings I admired others fordoing. That left me with twoimmediate alternatives: either Ihad to start doing what I likedor I had to stop liking it. Howmany of you, fearing to act, arealready conveniently forgettinghow to applaud for those on theleft who are fighting in all ournames? That's polarization.That's why we talk about beingsolution or problem - and that'swhy most deny the validity ofour claim. Most non-leftists pre-fer the quiet liberal backslideinto apathetic injustice and evilover the loud facist leap intoactive injustice and evil.

"To live outside the law youmust be honest." Bob Dylan saidthat and its meaning is clear. Ifobeying the rules doesn't comenaturally there is no escaping thelaw. If you disobey it as yournature entails you will be jailedby the state, but to obey itmeans you have chosen to jailyourself. You know as well as Ithat in a society that preservesthe sanctity of profit above thedignity of man a good person is"dishonest". According to thegreat rulebook in the capitalistsky we are all natural-borncriminals whose only real choiceis which type of jail to habitu-ate. Well there's a new choicethat some are proposing. Weconquer ourselves and we con-quer the state and we do itsimply by organizing and fight-ing together, side by side, untilwe win. It's the choice of theVietnamese and the Cubans; it'sthe choice of the Panthers and itmust become the choice of everyman and woman who will everunderstand the meaning of the

.words freedom and love. 'For those at MIT who dislike

my politics because it threatenstheir interests, be they they ac-tual or prospective, all I can sayis tough shit. And for the hypo-crites who pretend only to dis-'like style and tactics while livingcomfortably and quietly in themost violent and destructivecountry the world has everknown, it is your hypocrisy thatwill be responsible for a greatmany of the lives that will belost in coming years here andabroad.

And for the rest who don'tknow, well, as The Band hassaid, "You can go straight to theright or turn to the left, self-imposed hell or a tough hardroad that leads to a new kind ofheaven."

Repression ..(Continued from page 6)

even told what they werecharged with until the first hear-ing opened. The measure of im-partiality of the Committee onDiscipline may be judged by theopening remarks of its Chair-man, Roy Lamson, who in-formed the defendants thatthere were five witnesses for"our side", and that the de-fendants could bring "their"witnesses. The entire procedingsand final decisons took placeduring vacation, when studentscould not make their views felt.There is yet a hope that Pres-ident Johnson will not supportthe decision, and will either dis-miss or re-open the case. Onecan only hope that he will takeone of these courses. Of not, aflagrant case of repression andpunishment for ideas and man-ner of expression will have oc-curred.

it. Now that the fever has caughthold and repression commenced'friends' keep approaching mewith comments like "Well youknew.it was coming" or "wellyou don't really care that muchanyway, do you?" These aremostly friends who are less thanpolitically active and might besaid to savor the thought ofgetting their own little paperticket, their own personal de-gree. Certainly at least they havenot rushed to risk it by crossingthe disciplinary committee, ortheir teachers, or the state oranyone else either. These peoplewho-want-very much- not to have-to think that I was 'punished' orhurt, for then their lack of res-ponse would be slightly harderfor them to rationalize. Well, onthose counts at least, I won't letthem down, I knew that I wouldbe kicked out; I didn't know itwould be such a clumhsy affairbut I had no doubts as to itshappening. As to losing the de-gree, well, from one perspectiveit would offer slightly moreflexibility in the future, butfrom another the degree is justanother 2-S deferment exceptthis time the war is one I believein. I felt a little, pain, but mostlyjust ambivalence.

I knew what was to happen,and in fact, I posed it as aninevitability to a number of ad-ministrators late last spring andearly this fall. The response ofthe rulers was memorable. Wies-ner said it couldn't happen. Hesimply wouldn't allow the back-ward elements to chuck me forpolitical reasons. 'Simonides

thought I was crazy to anticipateanything like that and of coursehe'd have nothing to do withpolitical repression; he just wan-ted to know me better as anindividual. Sorenson said he'dquit if they went after me forpolitical reasons. I told them allthat they'd sit and warch, evenparticipate, saying all the timethat I had gone too far and "ofcourse this isn't an act of politi-cal repression." Well fellows, Istill think I was right, and ofcourse, dignity unruffled, youthink you're all honorable mendoing difficult and productivejobs better than most anyoneelse could. Of course you ago-nized over the decision-I'm sureyour few moments of pain easedyour consciences, but how is itthat I knew the result beforeyou began your struggle to doright. What's most disturbing tome is that you're probably moreupset about your role in shaftingme than you are about warresearch or the death of FredHampton. That's called racismand intellectual bigotry andwe've all been fed a little of thatmixture. Of course not all of usliked the taste enough to ask fora bigger dose, but then not all ofus have to find ways to rationa-lize and defend corporate powerand genocide either.

When I was a sophomore Iwent down to the ArlingtonStreet Church and watched oneof the early draft-card turn-ins.It was quite an experience butwhat struck me most was thatmy applause and admirationwere being given to people like

I shall remain vice-presidentof the student body with thepresidential post either open or

-filled by Mike Albert: His expul-sion upon grounds of disruptionof the disciplinary committeeproceedings is a farce.

There may be many thingswhich hurt people in this worldtoday over which we may haveno control. There are systemswhich seem beyond reach, whichis the excuse many people offerfor not doing something aboutthem.

Therefore, when it comes toan unreasonable system which isobviously within our control, itis incumbent upon us to improveit, and certainly not to employ itwhile it is in question. Yet ourjudicial process, declared unsatis-factory by students, faculty, andadministration long ago, is stillbeing used, to establish order onthis campus.

We find, too, that our aca-demic, intellectual school mustbe practical rather than humane.When there's conflict betweenwhat the students want andwhat Washington wants, it's easi-er to fight the sutdents than tofight Washington; a student paysonly $2150 while Washington isa basic source of income for theInstitute.

It is also easier for an institu-tion to rid itself of a dissatisfiedmember than to evaluate andchange itself in a Pareto optimalway. And it is always moreconvenient to effect change in

leisure time rather than to workon it immediately, even if theimmediate work would be di-rectly useful.

I think it is true that a univer-sity is in many ways defenseless;it does not have high brick wallsaround it with guns at the en-trance ways. However, it is notdefenseless with respect to beingable to exercise complete powerover students being allowed in orout.

A university may wish tooperate without disruption,but,as difficult as it may be, it mustthen make sure that its path is agood onle, and must not use itsfew defenses arbitrarily in des-peration, fear, or panic. Ad-hering to the judicial process atpresent does not insure any ofthese principles; it means merelythat a certain sustem is beingused.

While the judicial committeemay have spent long arduoushours. these hours may havebeen misdirected. It is honestlyfelt that Mike's presence in theInstitute was more than it couldtolerate, for certain reasons,these should have been madeclear, rather than veiled in theaccumulation of small points up-on.which they could trip him.Maybe he was foolish to havetaken the bait which so obvious-ly would lead to this kind ofaction, but perhaps it was worthit to him to point out thefoolishness behind the facade.

They continued to pull awaysteadily until they led 37-25 atthe half. Brown scored 18 of his25 points in the first half WhileCleveland dropped in 10.

Coach Barry had started 6'9"sophomore Dave Miller for thefirst time this season in order toget some extra height in thelineup.
