Student activity members metin a day-long conference Satur-day to discuss ways to improvetheir management and organiza-tional skills.

"Student activities are havingtrouble getting new members,"said David M. Libby '85, chair-man of the Undergradute Associ-ation Nominations Committee."We want to see what the prob-lem areas are."

The Undergraduate Associ-ation and the Office of the Deanfor Student Affairs sponsored theconference to help student activ-ity leaders become more effectivein financial management, public-ity, and recruitment of members,Libby said.

Almost 1000 students took theoptional writing examination,Walters said. "Students don'tseem to realize that there are oth-er" ways to meet the writing re-quirement.

Eight students satisfied the firsthalf of the new requirement byscoring 750 or higher on the Col-lege Board Achievement Test inEnglish Composition with Essay,Walters said.

Students may also completethe first part of the requirementby receiving a grade of pass inone of four expository writingsubjects, a "very popular op-tion," she said.

"Most students have a goodidea of how they write," Walterssaid. The writing requirement is

transfer students who took thefreshman writing evaluation lastmonth failed the examination, ac-cording to Bonnie Walters, coor-dinator of the Committee on theWriting Requirement.

Another 30 percent were givengrades of "marginal pass," andthe remaining 30 percent passedthe test, Walters said.

ing," he warned. "I don't want totalk about the issues that have.come up about the legitimacy" ofa student activity.

"I don't think I know of a timewhere activities have had morelatitude and more independence"than now, Simonides said.

"There is no distinct line be-tween [a group run] by the stu-dents and [one] run by the uni-versity," he claimed. 'The ques-tion is not who does the running,but how well things are done."

Stephen D. Immerman, assis-tant dean for student affairs, saiddecisions made by the Dean's Qf-fice in regard to the operation ofstudent activities are not "ab-solute."

"Students know students betterthan we do," he said, and agroup run by students "is thebetter way." The Dean's Office isconcerned more with the learningthat occurs in a student activitythan with the services renderedby the activity, he said.

Were the Dean's Office con-cerned with the services renderedby activities. his title would be

Vanessa Cruz '85, a member ofthe Association for \Vomen Stu-dents, said the conference was"an excellent idea, but I think thepeople running this thing shouldhave shown up."

Undergraduate AssociationPresident Michael P. Witt '84 wasscheduled to welcome the activityleaders but did not attend be-cause he was ill, explained IngeGedo '85, vice president of theUndergraduate Association.

The low turnout for the confer-ence - approximately 30 stu-dents-was unfortunate, Libbysaid. "However, I am still gladwe were able to have one," hecontinued. "I'm glad that we hadthe people who were able tocome. It's a good start."

The activity members discussedthe issues of balancing time spentin activities and academics, pre-venting members from "burningout," and recruiting new mem-bers, They also discussed the In-stitute's role in student activities.

Constantine B. Simonides,MIT vice president, told the re-presentatives how student activi-ties should be viewed. "I reallydon't want to contribute to flam-

By Sam Cable"This year will show if MIT

needs a group like Urban Ac-tion," said Arunas A. Chesonis'84, co-director of the service or-ganization.

Chesonis, who helped revivethe group in the summer of 1982,now co-directs it with Linda Y.Lee '85.

Urban Action performs twofunctions, Chesonis said: recruit-ing and placing volunteers insuitable programs, and 6rganiz-ing group service projects.

"So far, it seems that MITneeds a group like this," he said.;'" think we're here to stay." Thegroup has 25 volunteers, Che-sonis said, and about 35 morepeople are "in the process of vo-lunteering."

Urban Action will organize atleast nine service projects withfraternities before the end of Oc-tober, Chesonis said. It organizedmore than 20 last year.

The projects include outingsand Halloween parties for ele-mentary school children, con-struction projects, and Halloweenparties at nursing homes, he said.

Last year was "experimental"for Urban Action, Chesonis said.The organization was created-inthe late sixties and was popularuntil the middle seventies, but"died out as the times changed."

"hMost people think they don'thave the time to volunteer," Leesaid. "But the time could be aslittle as two hours a week."

"It's very hard to convince

people to volunteer if they don'twant to," Chesonis said. '"We justtry to make sure that everyonewho would be interested in vol-unteering knows about us.

"director of student activities" or"club coordinator," Immermansaid.

"'We haven't described well therole of the Dean's Office," Im-merman said. The duty of theDean's Office is to support stu-dent activities, he claimed, but"we have not gotten to the pointwhere we are good" at it.

"How do we provide the wel-fare for these services?" Immer-man asked. "'How do we maxi-mize the [extracurricular], envi-ronment and learning?"

The student body should first"establish a framework for effec-tive and representative govern-ment" which could obtain a cen-sus of the community's concerns,Immerman said.

Student groups must develop abetter way to share and redistrib-ute resoiirces such as money and

space, Immerman said. Such asystem should also be able to ac-commodate change, he said.

"Finally, you must develop asystematic way of showing theInstitute what your needs are,"Immerman said.

Witt later said he believed thatalthough some student activitieshave good leadership, there is nocentral framework for organiza-tion of all student groups.

The conference was a good op-portunity for activity leaders toget together and talk about theirproblems, said Marc T. DiNardo'84, chairman of the NIT Dra-mashop.

Dramashop has fought withother theater and musical groupsin recent years for time in KresgeAuditorium, DiNardo said.Learning to work together wouldhelp studen-t activities resolvesuch conflicts.

General AssenblynNoIw is irMe to act

As Undergraduate Association President Michael Witt '84calls a newly elected General Assembly to order Thursday eve-ning, students and administrators alike will wonder if studentgovernment will choose to be a viable, constructive force onthe hMIT campus.

For years,'the -Undergraduate Association has been generallyineffective, unresponsive and impotent. On those few occasionsthe General Assembly has asserted itself, however, it has dem-onstrated it can be an important and influential advocate forundergraduate students at MIT.

The General Assembly, as the representative body of the un-dergraduates, should play an active role within both the stu-dent community and the broader Institute cornmunity. Itshould take decisive action in defining the roles students and;the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs are to play in theTmanagement of student activities. It should thoughtfully exam-ine the complex relationships among the various committees,boards and councils comprising student government, and es-tablish workable mechanisms for their, accountability to theirstudent constituency. It should evaluate the range of govern-mental functions and' services and -determine how they can bemost effectively managed. It should insist that it alone holdsthe authority-to set policy and to speak on behalf of the under-graduates.

General Assembly representatives should take seriously thetask before them this year. Their decisions, their actions ande~ve,. -heir attitudes will greatly affect the future course of stu-fdent governance and- student activities. Not only today's MITstudents but also tomorrow's rely upon them to do their jobwell.

UrbnAnccon brin~gs;Mconmunn Vn o-nfact

It is too easy for MIT students to become withdrawn fromthe "outside world," to forget the concerns of other people,,and even to forget how to interact with them. Urban Action, acommunity service. organization revived-at MIT l ast--sumnmer,can help bring MIT students into closer contact with the com-munity in which they live.

Urban Action has two purposes: matching prospective vol-unteers with groups they will find rewarding and helping MITgroups organize-their own service projects.- It has placed MITstudents in the Big Brother and Big Sister programs and in vol-unteer positions in local hospitals and other groups. Urban Ac-tion has helped several fraternities organize construction pro-jects, such as rehabilitating abandoned dwellings for use bylow-income families. It has also organized outings with elemen-tary school children and Halloween parties with senior citizens.

Urban Action presents MIT students with an opportunity todo something that will take them outside their own concernsand immediate goals: to communicate with other people 'and tohelp meet community needs. The organization will be a valu-able asset to MIT and the Boston area if it receives the supportand interest it is due. Already it has assisted in 20 communityprojects; it plans nine more by the end of October. Urban Ac-tion can bring students to people who need them, and bringstudents to peple thLee need.

Thus with sufficient research, it isquite possible to determine exact-ly what work-falls under the act'sprimary purpose of developmentclause.

It should further be noted- thatthe act very clearly defines "nu-clear weapons" to include suchtechnologies as guidance systems,but only if such systems are "-de-stroyed or rendered useless in thenormal propelling, triggering, ordetonation of the weapon." Thusgenera l ..wori~ ..zn ., Lc~h. ,sys.tems,e.g., for coftimercial airplanes, isnot covered under this act.

The rest of the column is amixture of ludicrous logic and anodd type of technocratic attitude.Garfinkel interprets the statement"the use of resources for nuclearweapons prevents these resourcesfrom being used for direly neededhuman services" to mean that theact calls for researchers to beforced to design and drive-buses.The word "resources" in the actactually refers mainly to our taxdollars, which year after year arewasted on the instruments ofdeath instead of being invested insocial needs.

Obviously there are problemswhenever a company modifies itsproduct line, --or a federal con-tract runs out. This type of job

insecurity, though Sfon-optimalfrom the workers' standpoint, isquite the norm in American soci-ety, and especially in the defenseindustry. It should be noted herethat the disappearance of jobs onnuclear guidance systems at theDraper Laboratory might be par-tially cushioned by the fact thatDraper already does some com-mercial guidance work. UnlessDraper decided to move, onewould expect that they would ex-p-.Pand that commercial , works-.:. .. .

-eGarfinkel's - technocrat-el-itistattitude is shown in the statement"the people in the group do notfeel comfortable with technologythey cannot understand." Appli-cation of this line of thought,usually used by nuclear poweradvocates, to the area of nuclearweapons is rather- odd. Onedoesn't need to know 'a lot ofmath to realize the staggeringnumbers of people wvho will bekilled if nuclear weapons are everused again. And one doesn't needto be a political science major torealize that the new, accuratefirst-strike weapons, made possi-ble by the sophisiticated guidan-ce-system work done at Draper,are an all-too-likely route to theoutbreak of nuclear war.

Donald Raines '84

To the Editor:In his column, "Misrepresenta-

tion and fear fuel -nuclear-freemeasure" [Sept. 273, Simson L;Garfinkel seriously distorts themeaning of the Nuclear FreeCambridge Act by way of omis-sion of an important exclusionarypassage.

At the heart, of Garfinke-l's ar-gument against the initiative'actis his belief that if the act passes,MIT will not be "allowed to-teach .a~t-more:,oourses- on:-nucle-ar devices or nuclear war ... "The text of the act, however,gives quite a different story. Sec-tion 6(3) states "Nothing in thisact shall be construed to prohibitor regulate . . . basic research, theprimary purpose of which is notto work towards the developmentof nuclear weapons."

The act thus covers no activi-ties that occur on this campus, orHarvard's, for that matter. Anyproject having a primary purposeof developing nuclear weapons isclassified, and MIT has a policyof not doing classified work onits Cambridge campus. Also, anysuch work is, by its very nature,federally funded by specific con-tracts that are available undervarious existing legal routes.

Is there any difference beaween oppos-ing the creation of a nuclear-free zone inCambridge and supporting a ban of por-nographic movies at MIT?

The case against a nuclear-free zone-or any restrictions on scientific research- is pretty strong. Nuclear weapons re-search is certainly a waste of money thatcould be better spent on social problems,but that is true of a large portion of theresearch at MIT.

Current nuclear weapons research maybe used to harm people some day - yetthat is true of all the research that goeson at MIT. And like most research, inuchof that involved for nuclear-weapons hasits beneficial applications, such as im-provements in inertial guidance systemsso commercial Jetliners do not stray offcourse.

Nuclear weapons research may be eviland immoral, but if morality is the basisfor research restrictions, and if Cam-bridge can, on election day, vote "impmoral" or "moral," then those who op-pose nuclear weapons had better be preppared for votes on a lot of moral issues.

Why should Cambridge allow the exis-tence of a Communist Party? Commu-nists shoot down passenger planes. Andwhy should Cambridge have abortionclinics?

Come to think of it, if Cambridge

didn't have minorities, there could not beany interracial violence, and since minor-ities are, by definition, in the minority,they could easily be voted out one byone. Moreover, if Cambridge didn't haverich or poor people, it probably wouldn'thave so many criminals or victims.

In fact, if there were no people what-soever in Cambridge, there would be noone around to do anything bad to any-body, or to be a target in a nuclear war.Perhaps a people-free zone should be setup in Cambridge.

Quite naturally, MIT opposes any at-tempt to limit the researchl it does. Por-nography, on the other hand, is supposedto be different. Whlile MIT should befree to do whatever research it pleases,many think that MIT itself can andshould limit free expression one this cam-pus.

Perhaps MIT can, but it seems some-what hypocritical. The exploitation anddegradation of any group of people, in-cluding women, should be discouraged atall times. Yet, most movies and televisionshows exploit women and minorities.The ever-popular James Bond movies areparticularly degrading to women, Ocio-pussy- being the latest. and perhaps mostobvious example. Men do niot fare sowell in them either. James Bond is little

turn it on full blast, all those loud-mouthed, long-haired activists won't beagitating all over the place, and thenmaybe we'll have some peace and quietaround here, eh?"

Not surprisingly, MIT undergraduatesfigured prominently in the developmentof-the Apathy Ray. "You see," Spankersaid, "we needed to test this thing, whichmeans we needed a control group ofcompletely apathetic people. We couldn'tget enough professors togetheri, so weused MIT students. It was on for threedays last week and nobody noticed.When we aimed it at-a Save the DyslexicBaby Whales rally at Harvard, everybleeding heart in the place-went scor-pion-bowling at the Hong-Kong."

. Dr. Spanker said future plans for theApathy Ray include -contracts with theBursar's Office and- the MIFBTA, and ne-gotiations are underway with severalThird-World governments. Spanker ad-ded that research is underway on an An-ti-Apathy Ray, but progress is slow because neutralizing an Apathy Ray in-volves turning it on -first, with the resultbeing that nobody cares about trying toneutralize it anymore.

In a few weeks, local residents willvote on a referendum to declare Cam-bridge a nuclear-free zone. If the measureis passed, nuclear weapons research with-in the city limits would be prohibited.While bureaucrats wage the battle on thelegal front, crack scientists at DraperLaboratory are readying a new devicewhich they hope will enable them to re-main in Cambridge unmolested-

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Fred W.Spanker, head of Double Secret Stuff atDraper, revealed that-grumpy eggheadsthere decided to construct the first of anew generation of particle beam weap-ons, the Apathy Ray.

Says Dr. Spanker, "Once you get set-tled into a lab, it is a royal pain to moveyour tubes and wires without mixingthem all up. Why, last year I was makinga heads-up radar display for the NavyROTC van, and I moved some stuffacross the hall to make room for a ja-cuzzi. Anyway, when I hooked the gizmoup again, all I could get on it- was rerunsof I Love Lucy."

Dr. Spanker gave the details of thenew weapon. "This little beauty is goingto beam out all over the city from. thetop of the Green Building. Once it bitssomebody, they just don't give much of ahoot about anything. We figure if we

more than a hired assassin, evenif he only kills super bad guys.

Not muchi protest is heard onthis campus against these movies,and MIT would never considerbanning them. Director of Ad-missions Peter Richardson, how-ever, feels that showing porno-graphic movies, particularly inSeptember, gives the messagethat "'MIT is insensitive to wo-men." He implies that MITshould forbid such showings. Yetsuch movies are shown in Bostonon a regular basis and are appar-ently permitted by this nation'sjudicial system. Does this give themessage to incoming studentsthat Boston and the entire judici-al system of this country are in-sensitive to women? Or does itmean that the right to free speechis more important thian Richard-son believes?

Since it's not currently illegalto show most pornographic mov-ies, opposition to showing themis founded mainly on claims thatthey are immoral, offensive anddegrading, especially to women.Such arguments apply muchmore strongly to'nuclear weap-ons. Considering that a merehundredth of the United Statesnuc!ear arsenal could kill- over100 million Soviets, spending tensof billions of dollars on buildingeven more nuclear weapons in anage of widespread hunger andpoverty is far more immoral, of-fensive, and degrading to all peo-ple than pornography could everbe.

By Ron NormanMassachusetts law enforcement

agencies are taking increasinglystrong measures to controldrunken driving around colleges,Gov. Michael S. IDukakis said ata press conference at the StateHouse yesterday.

"We're not doing this to arrestkids," Dukakis said. He said thestate hopes students "will be partof the solution, not part of theproblem - or heaven forbid,part of the statistics."

About 650 people will die intraffic accidents in Massachusettsthis year, according to Charles V.Barry, state secretary of publicsafety. Over half the deaths willbe related to alcohol, and halfthose killed will be under age 24,he said.

Over the last 10 years, Dukakissaid, October has been the worstmonth for deaths on state high-ways, perhaps because of the in-flux of college students and thestart of the football season.

The state's roadblock program,under which police have beenstopping large numbers of motor-ists on weekends to check for in-toxication, is a recent effort tocurb drunken driving, Dukakissaid.

The state began the programJuly I to deter driving under theinfluence of alcohol. The pro-gram will continue at Dukakis'urging, according to a letter sentto college presidents in August.

The federal government givesMassachusetts $2 million eachyear to enforce drunken drivingprevention laws, Dukakis ex-plained, including $250,000 forthe roadblock program. Thecommonwealth pays the remain-ing costs for the roadblocks, headded.

Massachusetts saw fewer high-way fatalities this summer thanin any summer in the last 20years, Dukakis said. BetweenJuly, and Labor Day weekend,117 people were killed on high-ways, compared to 139 for thesame period last year.

'The roadblocks ... have hada significant deterrent effect,"Dukakis said. The state will setup roadblocks at college cam-puses, much like those at highschool proms last spring, he ad-ded.

Drunken driving laws in Mas-sachusetts call for a fine of $100to $1000, up to two years impris-onment and a one-year licensesuspension for first-time offend-ers. The offender may instead beplaced on probation and requiredto attend an alcohol educationprogram-costing $480, with a 30-day license suspension.

Second convictions carry a fineof $300 to $1000, a one-weekmandatory jail sentence and pos-sible imprisonment for up to twoyears. The offender may instead

bMe placed on probation and re-quired to attend a two-week resi-dential alcohol -treatment pro-gram at a $370 fee, with a two-year license suspension.

Third offenders may be fined$500 to $1000, must serve 60

days in jail, may be sentenced toup to two years' imprisonment,and will lose their licenses forfive years.

"It's a tough law - a secondoffense and you go to jail," Barrysaid.

Everybody's Rockin' raises two impor-tant questions: What are NeilYoung's mo-tives, and are they artistic or-commercial?It does not seem that he cuts albums forpure commercial purposes - were this thecase, he could make far more money bymining his Rust Never Sleeps vein. In ad-dition, Young has become notorious foralienating his'soft-core fans; in all probab-lility this record will alienate the few fanshe managed to acquire from his electroni-cally-oriented Trans album.

Neil Young changes musical styles as of-ten as Dylan changes religions. To someextent this album is little more than pub-lished musical exploration for Young but itis also a warm--albeit humorous - tri-bute to the rockabilly era, reminiscent ofcomedian Robert Klein's loving doo-woptributes.

As to the accusation that Neil Young istrendy: Trends play a large part in all popmusic. Young grew up with rockabilly andhas probably had a long-standing hanker-ing to pay homage to the early rockers.Rockabilly seems the perfect vehicle forYoung's distinctive voice, which contrib-utes greatly to the success of Everybody'sRockin'. It's not a musical masterpiece,but it is a heartfelt work that takes the lis-tener back to rocks roots.

The only unanswered question that re-mains is what will be the next musicalgenre that Neil Young will interpret?Whatever he chooses, as long as it retainsthe Neil Young voice and creativity, it iscertain to be an controversial interpreta-tion. And one day, he will combine thefruits of all his musical explorations andproduce the extraordinary album we allknow he can create.

John Stein

.Mary Kay Place ("Mary Hartman,Mary Hartman") and Jobeth Williams(Poltergeist) round off the leads as Megand Karen. Karen is married to a bore andwants to rekindle old romances and Megdecides that she wants a baby and decidesto grab the spark from one of the gatheredmales. Meg Tilly- turns in a fine supportingrole as Alex's young girlfriend.

One may think a story with this mena-gerie would be impossible to follow. Kas-dan has therefore eliminated all but thebare essentials of narrative and focused in-stead on actions, throughts, and emotions.Music from The Stones, Proco1 Harem,The Temptations, and many other musicgreats spices scenes tastefully, lyrics chosento suit different moods. In one priceless se-quence the gang slips on the Rascals andboogies while cleaning up from dinner.Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have playeda role in all their lives; how their attitudeshave cha~nged toward these and other vicestypifies the real-life transitions of the six-ties' radical vouth.

This type of character is already emerg-ing strongly in movies as a new generationof entertainers comes of age. Film will notdiminish to a sea of sequels and special ef-fect epics, but will instead embrace thisnew breed of Americans. The death of aclose friend often evokes the same feelingsisolated and then integrated by Kasdan inThe Big, Chill. When one life passes, manyothers wave; if they see each other waving,they know they've all been saved.

Mark DeCew

Everybody's Rockin', N~eil Young on GeffenRecords.

Why is Neil Young playing rockabilly?Is he trying to csh in on the success ofthe trend as evidenced by the popularity ofthe Stray Cats and Billy Joel's new album?Does Neil Young merely follow trends?These are only some of the questions Ever-ybody's Rockin' raises.

Neil Young and his new band The'Shocking Pinks perform four rockabillycovers and six clever originals; songs thatcover the range from clever and zany towarm and touching. "Payola Blues,", re-plete with a `~cash-a-wadda-wadda" cho'-rus, is a sarcastic remembrance of the pay-ola scandals from the rock's adolescence:

Here's three thousandThat ought to get it onThanks a lot man/ love your new songHow about this new Mercedes-BenzThat ought to get it onThanks a lot, manla// play it all day long

In ''Kinda Fonda Wandal", Young enu-merates the names of about fifty' girl-friends in under two minutes, but, he as-serts: "I'm kinda fonda Wanda/BecauseWanda always wanna wanna wanna." Thetitle track pays tribute to- and recapturesthe energy of early rock, adding a touch orwry political humor: "Ronnie and Nancydo the bop on the lawn/They're rockin' inthe White house all nighit long.''

Despite his desire to recapture rockabil-ly's primitive drive, Young does little jus-tice to his renditions of covers that virtual-ly define the genre: "Betty Lou's Got aNew Pair of Shoes,"' "Mystery Train" and" Bright Lights." Despite his fascinationwith the genre, the covers display a para-doxical lack of interest: instead of "'Train

Bi Chllc

Kept a Rollin'," they just chug along.The sound of Neil and The Shocking

Pinks is crisp and well-balanced, with am-ple use of harmonica, piano and saxo-phone in solos and upright bass and snaredrum providing the driving backbeat."Doo-Waa" vocals are well integrated into

the mix, never becoming annoying, or up-staging Young'& voice. One caveat for therecord purchaser: Although the album isdigitally mastered with exceptional soundquality, the total playing time for tensongs is a bit over 24 minutes, or approxi-mately one-half an album.

who have been brought together for the-funeral of one of their own. Alex's suicidehas suddenly put their lives in perspective;turbulent waves of peace marches and acidtrips have settled and calmed to familiesand careers. This emotional event hasstruck like a seed crystal, suddenly solidi-fying their interrelated existences.

Lawrence Kasdan has co-written and di-rected a wonderful film he describes as a"comedy of values." Kasdan's previousscreenwriting efforts for George Lucas(Raiders of the Lost Ark. The EmpireStrikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) havetrained him well for handling the multi-player ensemble bits here. The main char-acters are equal in both importance andscreen time and all their personalities arewell fleshed-out. As in his first film, BodesHieat, Kasdan's camera moves in on his ac-tors- demanding and receiving top-notchperformances on many levels.

The acting is, in fact, what really makesThe Big Chill so special. Hollywood agentsshould love this display of rising and ma-turing talent. William Hurt, who workedw ith Kasdan on Bodv! Heat, is most im-oressive as Nick, the fre-wheeling cocainedealer. Sam and Michael (Tom Berengerand Jeff Goldblum) represent similar play-boys; Sam, an actor in a "Magnum, PI."rip-off and Mike, a writer for People mag-azine. Academy Award Nomirnee GlennClose (the World According to Garp) andKevin-Kline are Sarah and Harold, nowmarried and hosting the reunion at theirBeaufort. S.C., home.

The new album, Mum-mer, continues in the pastoral mode firsthinted at on English Settlement, while in-corporating various strands of the band'searlier sound into a seamless fabric.

Mummer's strongest element is its lyricalcontent; one finds oneself reading ahead ofthe soils on the first listen. Consequently,the muswsal background, while just asimaginative and expressive, seems lessstrong than that of previous XTC albums.This seeming imbalance does not detractfrom the ability of the new material tocaptivate the ear: "Beating Of Hearts"

fl opens the album with a slinky Orienitaltheme sustained by a dark instrumental

it mix, which is followed by a crystal-clear; serenade, the aptly named "Wonderland."

Other tunes incorporate a more folky sen-sibility, even echoes of Van' Morrison, asfound in "Ladybird." Other songs featuremutated re-gae ("Human Alchemy"),Beatles-esque strings ("Great Fire"), andpsychedelia - with mellotrons and every-

@ thing ("Deeliver Us From the Elements").Ironically, "Funk Pop a Roll" 's',promis-

ing title yields the most unremarkable mu-gsic. The tune decries the synthetic dreck

that has infested the airwaves in the nameof "new music," but fails to induce toe-

rf tapping. XTQ need not criticise the lesscreative elements of the music biz to make

i its statement; the quality of its own workspeaks loudly enough. Longtime fans maymiss the out-and-out quirkiness that made

'.'Making Plans for Nigel" such a catchySong, but the Mummer's sound maintainsXTC's distinctive, artistic stance.

Andy Partridge has reconciled his moreimpressionistic writing style with a new in-ner calm, so that his compositions are nowjust as "commercial" as those of bassistand number one Paul McCartney fan Co-lin Moulding. Partridge's "Love On aFarmboy's Wages," with its gentle acousticguitar picking and sparse percussion, re-veals a yearning for a simpler, rural life:

High climbs the summer sunHigh stands the cornAnd tonight when my work is doneWe will borrow your father's carriageWe wvill drink and prepare for m7arriageSoon my darling, soon my darlingShilling fao the fellowWho brings the sheep inShilling for the fellowWho milks the herdShilling for the fellowWith a wife for keepingHow can we feedLove on a farmboy's wages?

This style lies a good country mile awayfrom the cleverness and irony of Partrid-ge's earlier songs. His voice has.movedfrom the eccentric, mannered hiccoughingon XTC's first two albums to a more com-rmunicative instrument.

-As if to make up for XTCs long ab-sence from the -marketplace, Virgin Re-cords in England has already releasedthree singles from the album, giving die-hard fans the opportunity to acquire sixmore non-LP tracks. Notable among theapochrypha are "Gold", two instrumentaltracks from the "Homo-Safari" ethnologi-cal forgery series (all found on the "GreatFire" 12-inch release), and "Desert Is-

- Vland," from the double single package what this talented collection of musicianscontaining "Love On a Farmboy's Wages." can bring to the seemingly tired formats ofMummer has not yet been released in popular music. XTC finds the right mix ofAmerica (it will probably be on the Epic old and new, personal and universal, con-label), so if you just can't wait, you'll have ventional and novel, that is in the bestto shell out about $10 for the disk. pop, and on Mumn"er, it sheds whatever

While it is not the ground-breaking col- veneer of irony that had marked it as be-lection of songs that XTC usually pro- ing "too clever for its own good" before.duces, Mummer is yet another example of Robert P. Krajewski

Jerky Versions of the Dream, Howard De-voto on IRS Records.

Howard Devoto at the Paradise, Thursday,Sept. 29.

Howard Devoto brought his own par-ticular Jerky Versions of the Dream totown last week, and he seems to be sleep-ing better thar, he has been in vears. Hisnewest release shows him to be at leastcontented, if not truly happy, withl his lotin life: a marked change from his previouswork. It has been said that a musician'swork suffers when he is in love; if that isthe case, Devoto must currently be in-volved In the relationship of his life. TheDream contains more "silly love songs"than any of his earlier albums, althoughthe genre underegoes a vast lyrical trans-formation when attacked by Devoto.

It is virtually impossible to seperateHoward D3evoto from his past, since hehas had such a big impact on popular mu-sic in the new wave era. As co-founder ofthe Buzzcocks, one of the seminal punkbands (along with the Sex Pistols andSiouxie and the Banshees), he influenced ahorde of followers to adopt his angryyoung man pose and stinging, bash-it-outperformance style. .

Devoto opted out of the Buzzcocks in1976 before they achieved the minor starstatus they would eventually hold. His newband, Magazine, tended toward a heaviersound, more keyboard-laden than the sole-ly guitar-oriented thrashing and bright ex-uberence embraced by the Buzzcocks. TheMagazine-era Devoto saw him playing so-phisticated pop star with a modest degreeof success, but his idea of pop music neverseemed to jibe with the record-buying pub-lic.

After Magazine split in 1981, Devotowent into semi-seclusion, and is only nowemerging in his latest guise- as "sensitiveartiste" with his new album and backupband.,Although Devoto is technicallyworking as a solo act, this tour may aswell have been titled "The Return of Ma-gazine." Keyboard player Dave Formula isthe only Magazine holdover appearing onThe Dream (co-credited with Devoto asmusical arranger), but the other instru-mentalists play in a style virtually indistin-guishabl, from their predecessors. Of par-ticular note is guitarist Alan St. Clair,whose ringing distorted feedback whinetended to dominate most songs to chillingeffect during the concert.

This is not the case on the album, whereFormula's keyboard work takes the frontseat. In Magazine, he generally employed

Aside from Devoto's visceral perfor-mance style, his strong point has alwaysbeen his wry, almost apologetically hang-dog lyrics. "Some Will Pay (For WhatOthers Pay to Avoid)" bemoans a failinglove affair:

lt's just a matter of time

Oh, how my memories press us together

And the dream is catching up.Some will pay ,for whatOthers pay to avoid.According to these memoriesI'm just mnad about youOur jerky visions of The DreamMade it all seem so trueBecause / was nakedI was afraid to have my feelings displayedBut now its comie to thisI will deliberately miss you.

He also has a thing for bleak weather.'Cold Imagination" and "Rainy Season"from The Dream, "Permafrost" from Mla-gazine's Secondhand Daylight, and the lastMagazine album Magic, Murder and theWeather should give some indication of hisintimate familiarity with this particularmetaphor.

His concert featured material culled pri-marily from Thee Dream, with the sound agood deal punchier in the live setting, aneffect particularly pronounced because ofthe, well, wimpiness of the album com-pared to the tight, powerful performanceturned in by Devoto and company. Themost appealing and compelling songs werethose originally performed by Magazine,particularly "Permafrost", the encore"Parade" and "Because You're Frighten-ed." The last is Devoto's best to date,melding hook after hook with a driving.though not overpowering, beat - the onlygenuinely danceable tune played.

Jerky Versions of the Drearn, which cer-tainly would have been a poor Magazinealbum, should not be judged in the con-text of the group, but rather as Devoto'sfirst attempt at complete artistic control.Someone unfamiliar with his work mightdo better to investigate a Magazine record- in particular The Correct Use of Sorap

- in order to get a better handle on whatDevoto can do at his best. There is hope,however. In "Rainy Season," he laments:

/ am on fire and its' the rainy seasonIn this desert you made me create

Those who are unhappy in love makemusic which has an unsettled, almost tor-tured, edge to it; unfortunately for him,Howard Devoto seems to be at his bestwhen he is unhappy.

Drew Blakeman

ceedings never quite teach that state of af-fairs due to Devoto's unique vocals, whichmove about the scales like a slide whistle.His emotional intensity almost carries ev-erything off, but the arrangements andproduction (by Devoto and Greg Walsh)simply do not work within the context ofthis record's songs.

a ponderous synthesizer drone whichwashed over everything else, but on TheDream everything else is more or lesswashed out and a lighter piano-basedsound takes over. When coupled with anoveruse of female background vocals, theend result approaches the frothy fluff ofwhich radio playlists are made. The pro-

Walters said members of theCommittee on the-Writing Re-quirement and four paid gradu-ate students performed most ofthe grading, and that she read ev-ery exam.

She has met with 180 freshmenand transfer students to discussthe grading, she said, but haschanged only one mark.

The expository writing pro-gram formerly offered two sub-jects and six sections, but thisyear replaced them with threesubjects and 10 sections, Paradissaid.

Paradis, who graded 25 fresh-man writing evaluations, said hedoes not think he graded harder

because the requirement was ineffect. "I sort of have a way" ofgrading, he said. "I've doneenough of it."

"My sense is that people wouldgrade easier," he said. The in-crease in the number of freshmenfailing the examination "wouldhave to do with who precisely isdoing the grading."

By Ellen L. SperoThe Rarvard Cooperative Soci-

ety, in reaction to an investiga-tion by MIT Campus Police intothefts of shoppers' property atthe Tech Coop store, is consider-ing new' security nneasures forpossessions left at the- entrance tothe textbook section.

The recent concern for securityat the book drop-is largely the re-sult of a Campus Police investi-gatior into the reported theft of abackpack belonging to Maya F.Paczuski '84, according to JamesOlivieri, chief of police.

"'Our efforts turned the Cooparound," Olivieri said. CampusPolice started an investigationafter the Coop told Paczuski itwould not take responsibility forthe missing items, according toboth Olivieri and Paczuski.

The Coop did-not take respon-sibility for the missing items untilCampus Police informed it of itslegal responsibility, Olivieri said.The Coop must provide a safe

: holding place for books, -bagsand briefcases since it does not

i allow entry to the textbook areag with the items, he said.

Mark O'Brien, executivetrainee for the Coop, said,"There was a misunderstanding.Yes, the Coop is responsible."

O'Brien, present when Pac-zuski complained to Coop man-agement about the theft, said

. they told Paczuski to "Give us aN, few days. It might turn up." But

Paczuski denied she was ever toldthis.

.Paczuski's backpack was laterreturned, with all contents intact,by a student who said he had ac-cidently taken it, according to

iSf Olivieri."The returning of the bag

doesn't change the fact that theprocedures they were using at

ii: check-in left a lot to be desired,"he added.

"Even though I got it back, Iwish it didn't happen to me. Itwas so unnecessary," Paczuskisaid; "The system the way it ex-ists is blind to reality. I don'tknow of any other store that getsaway with it," she added.

Adam Bernard '86 and James.1 H. Koenig '87 wrote in a letter to

Samuel '84 to "follow the guide-lines better."

The Student Center Committeeis looking for bands for a Dec. 2party, Fradd announced, but "thetalent in -Boston right now ispretty dry." Pi Lambda Phi mayco-sponsor a toga party with thecommittee, she said.

One sign warns patrons to"Please take all wallets, check-books, keys, etc.,. from bag beforeleaving it at book drop." Anolder sign informing shoppers to"leave all books, bags, briefcases,etc. at the book drop behindyou" remains posted.

The Tech Coop is consideringthe use of a system for checkingpossessions at the entrance to thebook section, Cunningham said."We are as much concerned asthe victims are, if not more so,than anybody else about the si-tuation," he added.

The Harvard Square Coop sta-ples a patron's belongings into alarge bag at the entrance to thetextbook section, Cunninghamsaid. "However, we have spacelimitations, where the Harvard'Coop might not," he added.

Ernesto Faillace G filed a re-port in April with Campus Policethat his backpack had been sto-len from-the book drop. Thebackpack neither has been re-turned nor has reimbursementbeen made, Faillace said.

The Coop told him it was notresponsible for the loss, he ad-ded.

By Edward WhangProfessor Seymour A. Papert,

inventor of the computer learninglanguage Logo, defended the useof 'computers by childrenWednesday at a Cambridge Fo-rum lecture titled "Are Comput-ers Bad for Children?"

"No," he answered. "Anythingcan be bad, even food. For exam-ple, children can overeat, but wedon't say food is bad for chil-d ren. "

Whether the computer controlsthe child, Or the child controlsthe computer, is of major impor-tance, Papert said. "Too often,when used in school, the comput-er is in charge" an-d usually leadsthe student through exercises, hesaid. "fIn this case, the computeris programming the child."

The child, instead, should beallowed to experiment with thecomputer, Papert said. Paperthas performed extensive researchon computer educationl, and de-'signed Logo to achieve the goal.

One of the features of Logo is"turtle graphics," Papert said. Itallows a child to, move an imageof a turtle by typing commandsfor distance and direction. Theturtle follows the specified pathand draws pictures on the termi-nal screen.

First-graders were allowed to"play with the computer" duringdemonstrations of Logo at localelementary schools, Papert said.They learned, for example, thatdrawineg a figure with four sidesof equal length and angles of 90degrees produced a square, hesaid.I

Mathematics education is "oneof the most damaging aspects ofschool," he said. "Math is taught-in school as a dead Ian uage.Children learn. by experimenta-tion, he claimed, and should begiven the opportunity to discovermathematics.

First-graders using Logo wereable to take charge of the com-puter, to get a ''sense ofempower ment," to have a posi-tive learning experience, and to

sa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~t,

-~~~ fie B~irth of a Career..

!ist Engineering is an excellent way to gain abroad perspective on a growi ng worl d-wide

market. You'll learn incredibly sophisti-cated automated test equipment for

state-of-the-art VLSI components from\ ~the user's end. it' s an outstanding\ ~springboard toward challenges in

research and developmnent, product\ ~marketing, sales engineering, Or..\ ~somre of our best engineers stay

/ age ~hooked on Test Engineering.

< V~~~~~~ega who?

Wte're the fastest growing innovator inAutomatic Test Eq~uipment. W\t*e're very

,good at a lot- of things, icuighvn\ ~a good time. If you'ire a smnart EE and< w~"ould like to hear mnore v-i-e'll be on

'campuls Friday October 21 andPMonday October 24, at thre Caereer

Plning and Pla-ement Cen`-er.

Three-martini lunlches, slick phrases, fatexpense accounts. UGH! No self-respectingengineer wants anything to do with selling,right? Wel I consider this: recentresearch showes that the most suJccess-ful., intlovxative highn tech compan~ieshave a strong orientation to the custo-mner. And Megatest has an on-the-'obtraining program for engineers who ,want a career path toward leadership in 5innovation.

I The Death of a Safesman..-

We call it Test Engineering. It's notsales, but rather wofrking with salesengineers to directly serve our custo-

mestechnical applicatio' ed.A

Short of being a test pilot, it's about the -most exciting, fast-paced job-you can-

Iget: the front line of high-tech busine-s-s N copettio. ina turl-w 'de arena. It takes

intelligence. Iexpertise and a full deck of cards.

Although Lyons was the onlyEngineer to place in the top 20overall, the team's grouped finishenabled MIT to score wellagainst the other Division IIIschools.I

MIT coach Halston Taylor waspleased with his team's perfor-mance, as it not only finishedwell, but also each of the top fin-ishers set his own personal record-on the cool, rain-slicked five-milecourse.

By George WalrondThe MIT men's rugby club

split a two-game series with theQuincy Rugby Football Club Sa-trurday, the "A" side winning theopening game 12-7, while the'"B" side dropped the second-game 40-4.

The "A" side game was a ha~rd-fought defensive struggle up tothe final whistle. Quincy startedthe game by committing severalpenalties in a row, one of whichwas in front of its own goalposts. MIT fullback Mike Hunter'84 converted the penalty into asuccessful kick, and the scorestood 3-0.

Later in the half, Quincy boot-ed a penalty kick to even thescore at 3. The game remainedtied until MIT's Robert Whitelaw'85 made a penalty kick to givethe Beavers a 6-3 lead.

The lead did not last long.With ten minutes left in the

game, Quincy back Ed Hanrattydove into the corner of the MITtry zone to go ahead 7-6.

The Beavers were not about tosettle for a third consecutive one-point loss, and spent the rest ofthe game hammering at theQuincy goal line. Persistence fi-nally paid off when, with threeminutes left, MIT's Reg Gottdrove in for a try. Hunter's con-

version made the score 12-7.The "iB" side game was the

complete opposite of the defen-sive "A" side contest. Quincycame out in a first-half scoringflurry that left MIT inl a daze andthe halftime score at 26-0. Theonly bright spot for MtIT wasgraduate Sean Routhier's 40-yardscamper to score the Beavers'only try.

and another incomplete pass end-ed the drive.

Neither team came near scor-ing for the remainder of the halfas both offenses found runningthe ball very difficult on the sod-den field.

The Engineer defense set upthe first score early in the thirdq uarter. Hartford received theopening kickoff on its own 14,but coulld advance only twoyards. Pressure on George Falus,the Hawks' punter, resulted in aX12-yard kick and excellent-fieldposition for MIT.

Strong running by Fred Allen'84 and Chris Adams '87 broughtthe Engineers to the 15, wherethe offense bogged down onceagain. Coach Dwight Smith, opt-

igfor three surer points, sentout his kicking teamn and-was re-warded by Hastings' second field,goal of the season.

The defense played a more di-rect role in MIT's only touch-down, which came late in thefourth quarter. The Hawks tookcontrol of the ball on their own

16 but were forced backward onthe next two plays.

Hartford quarterback TornRodgers was forced to pass, butfumbled. MIT defensive endRichard Rice '87 alertly recov-ered the ball on the Hartford-four.

A good block by Adams on thesecond rushing play of the seriesallowed Allen to run in. widefrom the three for the touch-down.
