By Walter Middlebrook "A group of 30 to 40 persons

gathered in the lobby of Build-ing 7 Friday afternoon protes-ting the latest actions of the USin SE Asia. During_the 45minutes of the rally, speakers of'SDS and -the University ActionGroup also charged MIT withcontributing to the cause of thewar.

After the rally, a group of 20demonstraters set out to theoffice of Provost Jerome Wiesnerto present theii grievances anddemands. Because of Wiesner'sabsence the demonstrators werenot allowed admittance to hisoffice. ;

According to the speakers,the reason for this latest attackon US policy in Asia was thealleged recent invasion of Laosby allied forces. It was alsoclaimed that during the lastweek "25,000 Vietnamese mer-cenaries and 9000 US groundtroops crossed the border intoLaos; escalating the war." Ac-cording to the Progressive LaborParty, "this action has beenquite evidePrnt from television pic-tures transmitted from Laosshowing US ground troopswhich .had been there forweeks."

During the rally, speakers ac-cused MlT of making a contribu-tion to the war. It was pointedout that members of the MITCorporation are directors ofcompanies which are profiting

yesterday afternoon heard hlisreport of discussions with thestudents chargned. but details ofthe imeeting were not released.Apparently several of the stu-dents involved are interested inmore clarification andl discussionof thile proposal.

Both sides in this iudicialmatter have stressed working outtheir differences in ain atmios-phIere free from tenision or out-side pressure.. BSU and adminis-tration spokesmen have repeat-edly refused to force a publicclash over the Faculty Club in-cident; early SDS efforts to whipup student reaction against theadministration failed to attractsupport.

After the twenty-eight blacks,mostly freshmen and sopho-mores, were charged, it waswidely assumed that there wouldbe a full Discipline Committeehearing on the matter, similar tothe ones that were held formembers of Rosa LuxemburgSDS last year which resulted inseven students being expelledfrom the Institute.

For the last several weeks,counsel for the twenty-eight de-fendants have been meeting withAdministration officials andmembers of the Discipline Com-mittee, trying to work out asettlement agreeable to bothsides. A special mediating panelwas set up by the DisciplineCommittee to hear the disputeand make recommendations asto its settlement. The panel con-sisted of Dean for Student Af-fairs J.

Metropolitan newspapersaround the country Saturdayhailed a team of Draper Labsengineers for saving the Apollomoon landing.

Electronics problems croppedup as the lunar spacecraft read-

ied for descent, and the MITexperts had three hours to devel-op a method to restore faultlessoperation.

In an interview withThe TechD-Labs engineers made light ofmass media "sensationalism"while explaining the details of amalfunction that could havethrown -the module back intolunar orbit just as the capsulebegan its descent.

Midnight FridayNear midnight Friday night

an abort switch sporadicallyshorted and lighted an abortlight on the module instrumentpanel. The spaceshi p computer isprogrammed to ignore signalswhile the craft is in orbit, butfiring the braking rockets to

begin the ride down to themoon's surface might have trig-gered the abort mechanism.

Lab engineers credited DonEyles, a 1966 Boston Universitymathematics major, with devel-oping a retnedy. Eyles recom-mended overlapping the. orbitand descent programs to misleadthe guidance computer aboutwhat stage of flight the capsulewas in. This abort switch bypassnecessitated in-flight keyboardcorrections for the spacecraft'son-board computer and manualstarting and throttling of thebraking engines.

By Lee GiguereThis March's UAP ballot is to

include a referendum to abolishthe General Assembly and the'post of UAP.

The referendum would insti-tute regular meetings, probablytwice each semester, of frater-nity and dormitory presidentsand establish a five-man execu-tive board that would coordinatestudent activities.

According to Tom Pipal, whohas been working on the propo-sal over January with UAP GregChisholm '73, anrd two fresh-men, the president's meetingwould serve exclusively to "dis-cuss" issues, but would have nolegislative role as does the pre-sent GA.

The proposal, Pipal ex-plained, had provisions for equalnumerical "representation" fordormitory residents. The execu-tive board would be empoweredto elect its own chairman.

Subcommittees

The ancillary structures ofthe present student governmentwould remain as they are now,reporting to the-executive boardinstead of the GA. The board,.Pipal explained; would be ableto veto --the Nominations Com-mittee and the Finance Boardwith the vote of, four of its fivemembers. This provision wasmeant- to provide a check inexceptional cases.

The General Assembly shouldbe abolished, Pipal claimed, be-cause "it pretends to be a repre-sentative body but isn't becauseof apathy on the part of therepresentatives." The GA is com-posed mainly of freshmen, he

noted, and' has "little continu-ity."' Further, he argued thatsince the GA was "never heldresponsible for implementing itsideas, -most of them were oflittle value." The idea of a Stu-dent Body President, Pipaladded, carries connotationswhich aren't really included inthe job.

DutiesThe proposed structure

would carry out the principleroles now 'filled by the currentgovernment: putting students onfaculty committees, and servingas an integrating group for pro-ject oriented people, while elimi-

By Peter MaternaA series of six lectures on

"Human Sexuality" and a num-ber of other lectures on indivi-dual topics are being planned bythe Lecture Series Committeefor this semester, in addition tothe regular weekend movies.

The six sex lectures, co-spon-

sored by LSC along with theDean for Student Affairs and theStudent Committee on Sex Edu-cation, will be given on Wednes-day nights starting February 17and ending March 24. Speakersfor the lectures will be Dr. AlanGuttmacher; Harriet Pilpel, At-torney at Law; Margaret Mead,PhD.; Dr. Irving Cushner; Dr.Allen Barnes; and a sixth, as yetunselected speaker.

Following the sex lecturesJohn W. Gardner, former Health,Education and Welfare Secre-tary, will explain his nationalpeople's lobby, "CommonCause." Other speakers duringMarch will be Phillip Luce, for-mer New Left leader, currently aprominent member of YoungAmericans for Freedom andwell-known college speaker; andGrace Thorpe, daughter of ath-lete Jim Thorpe, a leader of theIndians Liberation movementand member of the' group whichtook over Alcatraz Island in Cali-fornia.-

LSC's objectives are to pre'-sent a movie series that wouldentertain the MIT communityand obtain funds to finance alecture program thatis socially,scientifically and politicallystimulating. Organizationally, itis composed of a General Com-mittee composed of about 100members of the student bodywhich meets once a month tomake decisions of major impor-tance, and the Executive com-mittee, composed of 10 yearlyelected officers.

Movie scheduleLSC has not yet decided on

its movie schedule for the entiresemester, but those selected forthe next few weekends are "theWild Bunch" (February 12);"The Ballad of Cable Hogue"(Feburary 13); "Anne of aThousand Days" (February 19);"John and Mary" (February 20);"Two Mules for Sister Sara"(February 26); "What Do YouSay to a Naked Lady?" (Febru-ary 27); "Cotton Comes to Har-lem" (March 5); and "The Good,the Bad, and the Ugly" (March6). No concerts are beingplanned, due to the financiallosses suffered as a result of thepast few.

During January, The Tech suggested that thepresidency-search bureaucracy make a fresh effortto gain input during the waning weeks of the huntfor a new chief executive by distributing thecriteria it had established. Subsequently, the Cor-poration Joint Advisory -Committee (CJAC) didrelease a list of specifics (see page three) but werather doubt now that this will prove a fruitfulmove.

The material CJAC released reveals to thecommunity very little of that group's thoughts onthe presidency. The list is certainly non-controver-sial: none of the items could be expected toprovoke any complaints, and nothing appears tohave been omitted. Summarizing the various attri-butes any university president could be expectedto hold, the criteria might -well prove useful as acheck-off list for students and faculty mulling overprospects. What remains unrevealed though, arethe all-important priorities CJAC set. Which is

more crucial, for example - that "the candi-date... have a strong commitment to the aimsand interests of students" or "that the candi-date... be effective with sources of funding?"'Answers to questions like this, not a bland list ofpersonality traits, will determine the type of manto succeed President Johnson; neither CJAC northe Corporation selection committee has providedthese answers.

It is probably already too late now to correctthe flaws in the selection process; hindsight sug-gests that such an aggressive move as distributingthe -names of the candidates was necessary longago to spark community input. Further, werecognize that CJAC's own hands were tied bystrictures from the Corporation committee. Wecannot but conclude, however, that the recentlyreleased set of criteria represents a rather shallowand meaningless attempt to involve the campus inthe selection of MIT's next president.

inadequacies of our system ofengineering education, and amwriting to summarize my think-ing about the problem of how itmight be improved. Contrary tomany public statements, I be-lieve that MIT has not shownleadership in this area in recentyears. We have refined -and im-proved the system continuouslyover the years and have beenproud of our accomplishments,but my suspicion is that thesystem is wrong - that we havebeen modernizing a battleshipwhen air power is needed. Morefrequent discussions of engineer-ing education by the faculty ofthe School of Engineering wouldseem desirable. -

The fact that the pattern ofengineering education has notchanged .-appreciably in morethan sixty years is in itselfgrounds for suspicion that stag-nation has set in. We continue tostamp men as graduate engineersafter four years of residence.The four years are spent as in1890, "taking"-a series of sub-"-jects which make up a curnricu-lum. Subjects- are made up oflectures, recitations, problem as-signments, and quizzes. Labora-tory "experiments'" (which arenot experiments at all) continueto be mixed in with classroomwork in about the same propor-tion. The list of subjects makingup the typical curriculum, as, forexample, in mechanical engineer-

ing, rate students by a gradingsystem which shows a highlyunsatisfactory correlation withthe students' later performanceas graduate engineers.

There is a story about a celloplayer who sawed away contin-uously on a single note. His wiferemarked to him that other celloplayers seemed to move theirfingers up and'down the strings,producing less monotonoussounds. "Oh!" replied the man,"they are looking for the note.I've found it!" I cannot believethat in engineering education wehave "found the note."

It is true that a great manychanges have been made withinthe confines of the pattern. Sub-ject matter has been condensedand organized. Mathematics isused.,more freely and effectively.Subjects dealing with empiricalengineering practices have beeneliminated to make room formore "fundamentals." The pro-gram in the humanities has beenstrengthened and students arenow permitted to devote 20 percent of their four years in thisarea, though the minimum re-quirement of 16 per cent is notchanged. (This change in thehumanities, though hardly earth-shaking, has been widely

,publicized.) But these changesare not much to be proud of -we should be ashamed of our-selves if they had not beenmade. The pattern of our pro-gram remains unchanged.

MIT is not unaffected by thecreeping regimentation whichappears to be strangling the heal-thy development of educationalpractices in all areas. At itsworst, as in many state schools,the bad effects of this regimen-tation are not hard to recognize.Formulas for automatic pay in-creases and promotion based onyears of service, formulas forteaching loads, and all such,make it impossible for a schoolto get top-flight professors, and

a vicious downward spiral is init-iated. (The Dean of amotherschool once thought that I waslying when I claimed-we.had noformula for the proper teachingload for a departmental head!)The ECPD system of accreditingschools leads to the copying ofcurricula of accreditied schools,and accredited curricula over thecountry are now so similar as tomake any thoughtful person un-easy. Despite the good inten-tions -of the budget committee,our own system of staff recog-nition is more automatic thanwe sometimes claim it.to be, andthe.spread of salaries narrowerthan it was in 1939. (The idea of10 per cent raises for youngerstaff-and 5 per cent for highest-paid professors seems hard toresist.) My own opinion is thatthe tenure system leads, in thelong run, to deterioration ofstaff calibre. These commentsregarding regimentation mayseem irrelevant, but I hope torelate them shortly to my maintheme.

I suggest that there are twokinds of engineers: the routineand the creative. The large ma-jority are in the routine class,which I mean 'to include notonly the high-,class techniciansbut also the many MITgraduate sin production, technical sales, es-timating, and the "followers" insuch engineering activities as re-search, design, and development.These are impo.rtant people. andwe are proud of most such gra-

;duates. But if we are honest withourselves we must admit thatmany other schools do essen-tially the same job we do intraining such people. The coun-try-wide standard engineeringcurricula are designed to trainthe routine engineers. If that isalso our purpose, then we shouldretain',the traditional pattern ofengineering education, attempt-ing simply to do a better job,

By M.I. KalbertA front page article in The

Washington Past of February 7,1971, described the manner. inwhich Federal Bureau of Investi-gation Director J. Edgar Hoovercovers his tracks in his annualtestimony before Congress onthe affairs of the FBI in general-and in particular the number ofphone taps his agency has inoperatio n at the time. Quitesimply, the Director orders hisagents to turn off the wiretapsfor a day or two before and afterhis testimony on Capitol Hill.Thus, the taps remain in place,ready to use, but they are nottechnically in operation. Hence,J. Edgar Hoover has always beenable to state with absolute can-dor that less than 100o FBI wire-taps are in operation during hisyearly accounting to the legisla-tors.

* " If there's no meaning in it,that saves a world of trouble, aswe needn't try top find any.' "-The Kirig of Hearts

By Rob HunterDavid and Albert Maysles are

both graduates of Boston Uni-versity, and, since their gradua-tion, they have become quite acredit to the school. Their latestproduction is a definite success:Girmme Shelter, a documentaryof the Rolling Stones' 1969 tourof the US, is frightening, oc-casionally humorous, and at alltimrnes extremely pointed - it iscertainly one of the best "nowgeneration" films ever to comealong.

The film climaxes, of course,at the dramatic Altamont freeconcert, with slow-motion re-plays of the murder of a blackby Hell's Angels. Along the way,there is a graphic exposition ofthe life of the Stones and theproblems they face. One almostsympathizes as Keith Richardavoids the clutches of high-school chicks doing tfieir best toruin his performance, until itfinally becomes obvious thatthose high-school chicks are partof his performance. There is, ofcourse, a lot of good music inthe soundtrack; the listing lookslike a composite "Best of theStones" album. Ultimately,though, the title says it all - itwould be so nice just hide fromall the noise and people andhassle.

By Harvey BakerThe Charles Playhouse re-

opened after a fashion last weekby staging the Atma TheatreCompany's production of IWho'sAfraid of Virginia Woolf byEdward Albee.

Perhaps the single most dis-tinguished feature of the play is-its length - almost four and ahalf hours. Nonetheless, the playis not boring, and for the greaterpart of the last act, the audiencesits transfixed before the actionon stage. -

Frank McCarthy; who playsthe leading male role of George,is the standout actor in the play.While Cathy Robinson (his wifeMartha) is supposed to share thelimelight with him, his conquestof her in the final act serves tosolidify his mastery of the situa-tion.

Who's Afraid of VirginiaWoolf is a three act drama oftwo couples and the "fun andgames" that one perpetuates onthe other. What it amounts to isthat George and Martha, amiddle-aged couple at a smallNew England college, are givento taunting both their guests andone another with fantasies. Theguests, Al Ronzio ,and LoriHeineman, are made to watch asa pseudo-drama is played-out infront of them; George andMartha flay each other and playa game called "Get the Guests,"with George doing whatever pos-sible to ruin the youngercouple's relationship.

Cathy Robinson as Martha in a scene from the Atma production ofWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Now being presented at the CharlesPlayhouse through February 28.

George and Martha have con-structed themselves a neo-reality. In it; George innocentlykilled both his parents. He is in arut as a history professor at thecollege, even though Martha isthe president's daughter. Marthahas a son, twenty-one years oldtomorrow, but George doesn'twant to talk about him.

If a real killing can be tragic,what can be even more tragic isthe killing of their reality. WhenGeorge decides to put an end toit in the last act, Martha isshattered, almosrt ,as if Georgehad really killed their only son.

Partly because it was openingnight and partly because the

intermissions were very long theplay seemed to go on intermin-ably. Either the play should startearlier, or the intermissionsshould be shorter, or some ofthe text should be cut, becauseone am is no time for a play toend in downtown Boston. None-theless; in parts it is brilliantlyacted, and when Martha spits inGeorge's face and you see thespittle fly, it becomes clear youare looking at a serious dramaticproduction.

The Charles Playhouse, whichis hosting Virginia Woolf, hashad a management. shakeup, and,after closing its doors a fewmonths ago,. hopes to get backon the road. Rumor has it thatthe Charles would like to estab-lish its own resident company.

If you want to see a half-decent. play, spend an enjoyableevening at the theatre, and helpsupport Boston's only profes-sional non-profit playhouse,drop by the Charles some night.On Warrenton Street, in down-town Boston. And make sureyou have a ride home.

(Continued from page 4)than the others. But it will be alosing battle as far as the under-graduate program-is concerned,for we shall -have to competewith inexpensive state schools.,My own guess (see my 1951report as Dean) is that followingthis path (as we are) we will giveu p u nd ergraduate programswithin a generation.

Creative engineers, in manu-fac turing, research, develop-ment, and., business, are pro-du ced in quantity and are notnecessarily the most brilliant gra-duates. I do not argue that thepresent educational system inhi-bits the development of creativeengineers - only that it is notdesigned to produce them. Itwould doubtless be unwise forall engineering schools to con-centrate on the production ofcreative engineers, even if theway- of doing so were known,but it would seem highly logicalfor MIT to study the possibilitiesin this direction. If we couldwork out an effective programfor the -education of creativeengineers we would -regain thedistinctive leadership in ejfgi-neering education which we heldin the thirties, before the stateschools got the wherewithal to'copy what we do.

This probably sounds likeBush's advice to the HarvardEngineering School to concen-trate on the training of leaders -Harvard to work out the details.But we have a, staff of peoplewho are active in creative workto a degree not even approachedby other engineering schools. Nogroup is in a better position todevise effective programs for thleeducation of creative as distinctfrom routine engineers.

Any discussion of this prob-lem might, for example, lead toabandonment of' the traditionalconcept of "subjects of in-struction. Most lectures are re-phrasings of material in goodtextbooks. All students leamn atdifferent rates, but all now getessentially the same treatment.Problem assignments are toohard for the poorer student anda waste of time for the brightstudent. Why should creativeprofessors spend half their timeteaching physics, or applied me-chanics, or thermodynamics inessentially- 'the same way these

subjects have been taught at MITand at other schools for gener-ations? Is there any reason whystudents should be required totake- any particular subject,other than tradition and ourown rules defining the meaningof an MIT degree?

This sounds extremely radi-ca'l, but I am very serious. Themost famous university in theworld - Oxford - has no "sub-jects" in our sense, and anOxford degree may mean nomore than a certification ofthree years of residence.'(I sug-gest you, read Stephen Leacock'selegant and perceptive analysisof the Oxford system). Spec-ifically, I can visualize the appli-cation of the tutorial system atthe graduate level to studentspreparing for the general exami-nations for the doctorate. Thesemen (in Chemical Engineering)spend an average of three termsfull-time in preparation for theseexaminations. I believe I couldguide the preparation of ten or adozen men who would not takeany subjects, and who would bebetter prepared and who wouldget a better perspective on chem-ical engineering, in two terms. Iwould like to hear the facultydiscuss the possibilities of varia-tions of such a system for under-graduates.

Discussion of the basic prob-lem of the education of creativeengineers might question othertime-honored appurtenances - ofour present system. I suspectthat- we might question the habitof giving grades if we could butsweep away the cobwebs in ourthinking and look clearly at ourbasic objectives. If the tutorialsystem were employed, wouldnot a letter of recommendationfrom the tutor summarizing thestudent's accomplishments andcharacter mlean infinitely moreto both parentls and empjlyerthan a rating of 3.68?

1 'would even question the-value of awarding degrees. Thepresent S.B. fronm MIT certainlyindicates almost anything andtherefore nothing as to the gra-duate's professional promise.Some graduates are broadly edu-cated men who become highlysuccessful in professional life.Others are mediocre technicians,yet we give them all the samedegree, Even under the 'presentsystem employers are more in-

terested- il letters from staffthan in either rating or degree.The degree means little becauseit is non-discriminating, butthere oan be as many differentletters of recommendation asthere are graduates.

I visualize MIT as a companyof creative scholars where stu-dents might learn and gain per-spective at whatever pace theycan go. Faculty members wouldprovide guidance, stimulation,perceptive and standards, butstudents. would be required tofollow no set program or cur-ricula. Factual learning would beprimarily from books. Tutorswould suggest readings, prob-lems, and exercises at the appro-priate level for each individualstudent. As in the present Gra-duate House, much of the educa-tional value and stimulationwould be gained from other stu-dents, No grades would be given.Quite possibly there would be noexaminations At appropriateperiods a tutor or departmentwould prepare and file state-ments. of the student's character,accomplishments, and promise,very much like a letter of re-commendation to an employer.Some students would do little ornothing, but these should go tostate schools, which follow the-traditional pattern of en-gineering education. The otherswould benefit in proportion totheir ability and efforts, andMIT might become known as thesource of creative engineeringtalent.

In brief, I suggest that theengineering faculty ought to de-vote time to discussions of engi-neering education. I urge thatthese discussions be directed tothe question as to how MITmight provide a distinctive vari-ety of engineering education forthe training of creative engi-neers. I suggest further that theproblem is one of developing anew pattern of engineering edu-cation, not of perfecting theexisting system, which is direc-ted primarily to the training ofwhat I would call routine engi-neers.

has come up with a film ofAcademy Award potential withhis latest release, Arthur Penn's"Little Big Man." Hoffman playsthe role of Jack Crab, a 19thcentury white boy brought upby the Indians. This film has, forthe first time, represented theIndian culture as somethingmore than a motley collection ofuncivilized, barbaric savages, infact, by the time itreaches itsconclusion, the Indian cultureseems possibly more desirablethan our own.,

Concurrent with the releaseof this film, Sack Theatres andBadamericlub are promoting aninteresting contest which willgive all you would-be movie re-viewers a rather rewarding op-portunity to express your feel-ings. The contest, open to allcollege students, involves thewriting of a 500-or-less wordessay on anything related to'Little Big Man." The prizes arequite valuable: first prize is anoptional trip with Badamericlubmembers to either Nassau orEurope, and subsequent prizesinclude things from cameras toBoston After Dark subscriptions.The contest is running from nowthrough February 24th, and en-tries should be submitted toSack Theatres, care of Miss JaneBadgers.

lOver 1700 people flocked tolsge Auditorium last Wednes-

night to see what was prob-l the worst film ever to playthe MIT campus.

IA m Curious (Blue) sold outfirst show and about half ofsecond, as Lecture Series

nmittee cleaned up -on theirond semester opener.

he film was such a bore thateral people fell asleep duringh show, and the only reasont more didn't was because theling and shouting of the dis-ointed audience kept them

l only fifty cents, one studentoed the, feelings of most ofse in attendance when helmented, "What a ripoff."other suggested that LSCht to take all their profits

m the show and 'redistributem among the people."

After the .first showing, assge was being cleared so thatple waiting to get into thet show could come in, some-noticed that the crowd was

ng exited through the.doorsthe front of the Auditorum,ile those waiting to come inuld enter from the rear, andasked why. An LSC member,O refused to be identified,wered him. "Do you thinkwant all these guys leavingshow to tell the ones coming

low shitty it is?" Presumably,word got around to some

ple, however, as attendancethe second show was poorer

in at the first.

,Scott Wurcer of LSC, whoected the movie, wasmptly showered by his Eastnpus neighbors after he re-

ded from its showing.

Thie Tech asked several stu-ts, as they left Blue, whatir criticism of that film was.d one, "There wasn't even

skin. At least, if thereulda been some skin... "d another, "I've seen moreat than that at a Mt. Idaler." And a third, "You knowv the Army puts saltpeter in

GI's food to act as a sexressant? Well, we -could gom one better and give them

I ious Blue to be shown fullgth every week. It would killprostitution business."

Several students expressedmay that the piicture of the

'1 ued n th Ble publicity

flier wasn't even in the movie,and wondered out loud if themovie hadn't been censored. TheTech looked into this, and askedthe LSC person responsible forthe flier where he had gotten thepicture, and if it was connectedwith Curious (Blue). "Nah, wegot it-,out of the June Playboy,"he remarked, as he sped off tothe bank.

For those of you who didn'tsee the movie, it is impossible tosummarize the plot, since therewasn't any. Apparently, some-Swedish tart runs around askingpeople in the street if they thinkSweden is a class society. Every-body answers yes or no, the girlget the clap, and that's the endof the picture.

Although -the film may notboast much in the way of re-.

-- deeming social value, youneedn't worry because it doesn'-tboast much obscenity or yorno-graphy either. At the secondshow, several horny tools tookup the chant "Skin, skin, skin,"'in the hope that they couldsomehow turn the direction ofthe movie around, but it was tono avail.

Several The Tech staff mem-bers took it upon themselves tostation themselves outside thedoor to the auditorium after thefirst showing to warn peopleabout how bad the movie was,and try to dissuade them fromgoing in. Despite repeated ef-forts only one person could beso convinced, and reportedly, hesneaked back in later to see theshow.

The referendum, Pipal added,would have no effect on nextmonth's election. The proposal,if- passed, would -go into effectafter the election -of a new exec-utive committee at the first Gen-eral Assembly meeting. The GAwould then dissolve and theExecutive Committee memberswould become the executiveboard. However, the UAP,UAVP-and the Secretary-Generalwould forfeit their titles and anew chairman would be elected.

In succeeding years, the exec-utive board would be elected atlarge on a preferential-type bal-lot. Pipal noted that the struc-ture was similar to the town-council type of government.

a fine performance last Satur-day, placing sixth out of 22teams in the Coast Guard Aca-demy Invitational Tournament.
