of Dr. Martin Luthor King came-quickly on the MIT campus as the Institute joined the nationin mourning in a special mem-orial service held at noon Fri-day in Kresge. Hastily organ- ized Thursday night and Friday morning by an ad hoc group of Pfaculty, students, and membersof the administration, the pro-gram consisted principally ofreadings from Dr. King's writ-hsings.

Although lack of time limitedthe publicity to hastily posted 3 -notices, the audiWorium wasnearly filled. Most of the usualnoontime stream of peopleleaving Building 7 filed directlyinto Kresge, talking quietlyamong themselves until theprogram began.

Although the flight of AS-502 (Apollo 6) last week has been officially described by NASA as afailure, it was in fact about 75% successful, and the MIT-designed guidance system itselfso well that it embarrassed the space agency

This reporter was at CapeKennedy for the Thursday launch,and heard General Philips, incharge of the mahned spaceprogram at Kennedy SpaceflightCenter, term the flight a "fai-lure" on NASA's books becauseall primary test objects hadnot been met. One of theseobjectives had been a success-ful restart of the S-IVB thirdstage from orbit, and thatstage's failure to do so wasthe second malfunction of theday.

SW antsaianment chang$d;Jefferson Airplane crashes

By Bob Dennis

A flurry of rumors concerning a change in the Saturday afternoonentertainment at Spring Weekend has been confirmed. Speaking toThe Tech prior to a Sunday night meeting with social chairmen,Committee Chairman Gordon Logan announced that the JeffersonAirplane made a "last-minute cancellation" of their scheduledperformance.

Plans have been nearly finalized to replace the Airplane withthe Union Gap, a group whose two recent records, "Woman Woman"'

and "Young Girl," ' both reached the top of the national charts.Unusual yet legal

The cancellation of the Airplane was due to very unusual, yetunfortunately legal circumstances, according to Logan. Foilowinga verbal agreement with the Airplane's manager, his committeeforwarded their contract and a deposit on February 7. During thenext two months, the committee received publications on the Air-plane as well as cornmunications concerning sound equipment andmotel accomodations.Although their contract was not yet signed and

Classes canceledBy Tom Pipal

All classes between 9 am and 1 pm today have been cancelledin order to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King and to allow stu-dents to attend special seminars dealing with the problems he at-tempted to -solve during his lifetime. This action resulted fromSunday afternoon's Inscomm meeting, which was originally intendedto consider various aspects of student affairs. When discussioncentered on tile possibility of Inscomm's recommending that allstudents skip classes Monday as a tribute to the fallen civil rightsleader, Dean Kenneth Wadleigh suggested that classes be cancelledfrom 9 to 1 on Tuesday instead. Inscomm then passed a resolutionrecommending that the Institute cancel classes at the suggestedtime, and Dean Wadleigh and Professor Walter Rosenblith, Chairmanof the Faculty, announced that'classes would be cancelled.

Seminars plannedFrom 9 to 11 am, Inscomm will sponsor a panel discussion in

Kresge entitled "Racism in America." Panel members include Pro-fessor Jerome Lettvin, Professor Salvator Luria, Profsssor HaroldIsaacs, Professor Philip Morrison, Professor Leonard Fein, andAl Silverstone, G.

At 11 am, the topic will shift to the role of MIT in the problemof civil rights. UAP Maria Kivisild '68 will chair a panel consistingof Associate Professor Bernard Frieden,. Robert Tinker, G, ShirleyJackson '68, Professor Leon Trilling, and (tentatively) ProfessorRoland Greeley, Director of Admissions. The admission of Negroesto MIT and urban concern on the part of the university will be twospecific topics which will be explored.

Harvard University is also planning an extensive tribute to Dr.King. On Monday, a major rally was held in Harvard Yard. Thereare no classes today between nine and one, and those scheduledfor later than one will deal with the problem of racism.

!tu nities restructuredBy Scott Hartley

Next fall's freshman class will enter the Institute to find themost diverse humanities program ever offered here. Professor RichardDouglas head of the humanities department announced recently thetitles and general descriptions of five courses, four completely new,all to be offered incoming members of the class of 1972.

The only course to be kept intact is the Greek Tradition-Euro-pean Tradition series, renamed The Western Tradition: the ClassicalHeritage-the European Heritage.

Replacing the two discontinued courses are the four new oneswhich will investigate indentity and autobiography, language andculture of primitive and modern civilizations, conflict in Americansociety, and western religious philosophy.

Asked what inspired the changes, Professor Douglas explainedthat the entire humanities program is now -in a state of evolution,with new courses being constantly designed and introduced. Thedecision to institute five course options came last fall and metwith considerable support from other members of the humanitiesstaff.

To criticisms of present offerings as being too narrow in scope,Douglas responded. by saying that the so-called "survey course"'of literature has never enjoyed much popularity at the Institute.

Other changes in the freshman courses may include an increasein the amount of writing required.

Titles of the new courses are Identity and Autobiography: theNineteenth Century-Twentieth Century; Language, Culture, andCommunity: Primitive Culture and Ancient Civilization-ElizabethanEngland and Modern America; and Conflict and Community in Ameri-ca; and God and Logic: the Philosophy of Western Religion.

Due To Muorderlike Santo Domingo or someother revolution-torn, capitalfilmed for a newscast. Comingon the heels of the assassina-tion of Dr. Martin Luther King,the outbreak of looting andfirebombing near the hotel inwhich we of Eugene McCarthy'sresearch staff are temporarilyquartered has sent much of thewhite population fleeing fromthe city and brought commerceto a standstill. .At one pointthe automobile exodus becameso dense that troops calledinto the city to quell the riotingwere unable to enter the troubledareas.

Strange signMy first knowledge of the

assassination came as I-walkedby Washington's famous cherrytrees and saw a small sign infelt marker which someone hadset up. Weird news in a weirdform can only spawn disbelief,but the story was confirmed onthe news media that night. Afarmore vivid confirmation cameFriday morning when I contacteda student at Howard University(Washington' s predominantlyNegro university) who told me,"I can't help you now-they'rerioting outside my dormitory.'-'

Some four minutes after thesecond stage engines fired,two of the five shut down pre-maturely. The vehicle, however,managed to attain orbit anywayby burning all the fuel in thesecond stage, and- more thirdstage fuel than had been plann-ed. The margin was still suf-ficient, however, to permitcompletion of the mission.

to restart. At that point, undercommand of theguidance system,the spacecraft separated fromits booster, and the SPS- wasburned from -a different orien-tation than that planned, placingthe spacecraft in the orbitplanned for it, 15,192 nauticalmiles high, unaided by theS-IVB.

This maneuver, however,used up all but 23 seconds ofSPS burn, about 400 feet persecond of .additional velocity.The spacecraft's new orbit wasnot good for entry, accordingto the first data available, andan interesting dialogue tookplace between the I Lab peopleand NASA.

Professors in data roomI had been taken to a data

room in the Manned SpacecraftOperations Building. Prominantamong those there were Dr. JohnMiller of the Instrumentation Lab,and Prof. Wallace VanderVelde., Department of, Aero-nautics and Astronautics.

ConferenceA -fast conference was then

held, when Miller called- IL 7in Cambridge to see what theengineers standing by therethought. The proposal wasmade to NASA in Houston, butrejected. NASA felt that thetime the.SPS would burn wouldbe too.short for the gimbal onthe motor to swivel enoughshould an enexpected correctionbe required. The last bit fuelthus went unburnt, and NASApredicted that the -spacecraftwould fall about 200 nauticalmiles short.- of its plannedimpact point.

To allow for this, the primerecovery ship from Hawaii, theaircraft carrier Okinawa, wasordered to steam west, andrecovery aircraft were relocatedaround the new impact point.Even so, it was expected thatthe carrier would'still be about100 miles away at splashdown.

NASA embarrassedNASA, however, was em-

barrassingly wrong in its pre-diction of the splash point. Theguidance · computor on-boardthe spacecraft was still underorders to try'for the old, plannedlocation. By. tilting the capsuleso a:s to get the maximum lift,and skipping the capsule onceoff the top of the atmosphere,the guidance computor put thecapsule on the water just 38miles from the impact pointwhich NASA had designatedbefore lift-off. This put thespacecraft about 80 miles be-hind the Okinawa, which hadto turn around and sail backinto 'the prime area.

The people from MIT, aswell as engineers from ACElectronics and Raytheon,which actually built the guidancesystem, were elated over thesuccessful performance of theirsystem under adverse conditions.But the fact remains that themission probably was not suc-cessful enough to allow NASAto man rate the Saturn V booster-i.e . permit men to fly on thenext test of the AS-503 vehicle,which is currently nearby readyto be moved to the launch padfrom the Vehicle AssemblyBluilding at the Cape.is

Perhaps the recent ruling by GeneralHershey was a good antidote for this atti-tude. Now it is virtually impossibel to igonore what is happening outside the class=room. The student is forced to fight (in onesense or another) for what he believes in.It is unfortunate that the NAACP cannot passa similar resolution calling for the cancell-ation of "'violence deferments" for theneighborhoods and homes of most of thestudents here, It appears to us that this isthe only way to stimulate the large majoritynow is the time for all good men to come'of the student body.

At the memorial service for Dr, MartinLuthor King held Friday in Kresge, Presi-dent Howard Johnsoln stated that the onlyappropriate way to honor the memory of sogreat a man was to re-examine our own be-liefs in light of his words.

We would, therefore, like to present oneof his statements with our analysis of howit affects the MIT students and faculty. Dr.King said that "the greatest obstacle tointegration is the white moderate, who wouldrather have peace and security than justice."Look around you. What is the reaction of thecommunity to something like the SocialService Committee's Operation Target?Apathy. What is the reaction to protestmarches, both for and against the war, forand against the draft-in fact, marches foreach side of practically any issue of impor-tance? Apathyz what is the reaction to prac-tically any worthwhile project that a groupcares to undertake? Apathy. It is apparentthat the avarage MIT student would muchrather- have "peace and security" inside

Students at the Universityof Utah and the University ofOregon were somewhat surprised,to say the least, to discoverthat the man who had lecturedthem one night several weeksbefore (and charged $1000) wasnot noted underground film maker,Andy Warhol, but an impostersent by Mr. Warhol. Suspicionswere first aroused when a stu-dent wrote to the Daily UtahChronicle saying that the lec-turer did not ressemble pictureshe had seen of Warhol, nor didhis talk reflect any of the"'genius" that he is supposedto have. Following a two monthinvestigation the Utah Acti-vities Director questioned Mr.Warhol, who readily admittedto the fraud, stating that hewould return the lecture feeto them, as well as three otherwestern colleges who were not

yet aware of the hoax that hadbefallen them.

Bonfire at the Indiana Instituteto Technology came to an ab.rupt halt when fire companiesput out the fire and dismantledthe 35 foot high structure. Itseems there is a city ordinancelimiting the size of fires to anarea of six feet square and notexceeding four feet high. Un-known to the firemen, they haddone more-than enforce a cityordinance. The next day, anexamination of the 'rubble re.vealed the presence of a bombwith a heat sensative fusewhich fortunately for onlookersdid not explode during the shorttime the borfire was lit.

The advisory system at MIThas been under perennial fire-and for good reason. It accom-plishes very Little either on thefreshman or departmental level.With rare exceptions the studentmay go through the Institutewith literally no instance ofvaluable advice from his "ad-visor. ' -

The advisors themselves aregenerally uninformed and if thestudent has a question, theadvisor must frequently look upthe answer or call the Registrar.A modestly informed studentis often more informed than hisadvisor about methods of string°pulling, who-to;go-to and otherbasic necessities for wendinghis academic way through the--Institute.

My sophomore year, my as-signed advisor was himself a'freshman,' The entire sopho-more recruitment of that depart-ment was an Assistant Prbfes-sor who had never even taughta class at the Institute.

Each year there are criesfrom the students simply to"orienti or to "educate" theadvisor. Secretariat ChairmanBruce Enders i69 made this apart of his UAP platform. Butthere remains the problem thateven if the advisor is know-ledgeable he may not take theinitiative at the right time-orat all. It is no good for theadvisor to know the options ofattending Harvard classes ifhe does not-tell his advisees,who may not even have heardof our exchange program there.

Right now the freshmanadvisor serves little more thanto join the student in the rotelisting of his courses eachterm. Indeed, the stuident hasalready -made his only realchoice before he meets hisadvisor: the selection of hishumanities option (which, in-cidentally, is being broadenedto five options next year).Whether the advisor shouldserve a greater function thanthis may be an open questionanyway, so long as there existsa full-time specified curriculumfor the freshman.

The upperclass (departmen-tal) advisor is another case,supposedly. But even here, theadvisor generally serves nomore a -purpose than does thecomputer which each term printsout on the grade report whatrequirements remnain to be filled,By the time senior year rollsaround with it the only other

faculty and asking a professorof his choice to be his advisor.

If the Institute scrapped itswhole policy of appointingdepartment advisors, it wouldnot sacrifice, a:s mentionedabove, a great deal of pastinvestment in advisor orienta.tion; and it would probably gainfrom having each student asso-ciate with a professor of hischoice more deeply.

Then, rather- than educatethe advisors, the Institutecould concentrate-as Harvarddoes-on more direct informationto the students themselves orsuch topics as course options,fellowships, and graduateschools. Many departments (myown included) are totally de-linquent -in this area, and ofcourse the placement office isitself out of touch with theentire student body, as discuss-ed in a recent article in thispaper. Even if the advisorysystem remains the same, theInstitute should increase itsexpenditure on such handbooksand mailings. Although theremay exist at the Institute someexceptionally good and out°going advisors, the Instituteshould take some measures toassure the fact that studentswho are denied such advisorsstill receive the basic informaotion pertaining to their educa-tion and the opportunities opento them.

Beyond that, we may be con-tent to treat the advisor as wedo now: as a bureaucratic hacktotally separate from those pro-fessors to whom we may growclose.

Theadvisee is then somewhat so-bered when-as is often thecase-his advisor tells him hedoes not know him well enough.

Surely the presentadvisory system must existonly to delude those who donot know how it works, or tocomfort those who do know howit works but would like to thinkit was more than the mechanicalinsignificance which it is.

I assume that the Institutewould like the- advisor to bemore than a registration officer,that it does want him to be a"'faculty counselor/, which.is,incidentally, the advisors offi-cial title.

It would seem that one ofthe prerequisites to being acounselor would be that theadvisor share some interestswith the student.

-Star Trek livesAs we noted earlier this

year, there was a vehementprotest at Caltech over thethreatened cancellation of

."Star Trek" in the comingseason. Public opinion seemsto have prevailed, for NBCannounced Tuesday that theprogram would be retained.This ,disclosure should easethe :worries of many at MIT, aswell as at Caltech, who fearedthe loss of their regular Fridayevening diversion.

By Pete LindnerPlanet of the Apes is from

the book by the Pierre Boulle,author of the "'Bridge over theRiver Kwai.' Although thebook was weak, the movie isbetter, but not by much. Thestory is based on an expeditionfrom earth to another galaxie,320 light years away. Thetravelers find that evolutionhas made apes the superiorcreature, while man is an un-civilized animal which roamsthe forests. Charlton Hestonplays the lead role as the onlyremaining earthman. Since theship has crashed and theirclothes were stolen, it is re-

A latively hard to convince theinhabitants that men can think.

Heston has a throat woundthat prevents him from talking.But more significantly, the re-ligious doctrine which insistson man's lack of intelligencestops his efforts to convincethe scientists. In effect, itis a Scopes trail. But the dif-ference is significant: theChief Science Director andKeeper of the Faith ("Ithe

titles are not contradictory")realizes that there exists anintelligent man.

The exposition is interestingbut not to too great a degree.Rod Serling and Mike Wildsenadapted the book for the screenand did a creditable job. Nodoubt most readers have alreadyheard that the make-up andcostumes are tremendous. Withthis I cannot argue. It is rareto see such accuracy andrealism in facial compositionand "wardrobe" (in effect,since all the inhabitants areapes.)

The photography is alsocreditable. The music by J.Goldsmith is unnerving, erraticand usually not related to theaction. Kim Hunter played -abelievable female doctor whotries to convince the board ofscientists that humans mayhave a form of intelligence.Linda Harrison plays the girlwho is given to Heston as areward for his attempts tospeak. Since she is a human,she never says a word, butshe does smile nicely.

By Ray ErgasSunday afternoon, the MIT

Glee Club was joined by theSarah Lawrence College GleeClub for a performance of CarlOrff's Carmind Burana, alongwith Francis Hester, bass,Carolyn Friguglietti, soprano,and Karl Sorensen, tenor. JohnOliver and William Grossmanwere the pianists and Prof.Klaus Liepmann conducted.Miss Friguglietti and Mr. SQren-sen appeared with the GleeClub only three weeks ago atthe Glee Club's performance ofKing David.

Carmina Burana was writtenby Orff in 1935 and 36. It wasoriginally scored for orchestrawith augmented percussions,celesta, and two pianos. Prof.Liepman chose to play it in theadaptation for two pianos andpercussion, along with soprano,baritone, and tenor soloistsand male and female choruses.This was possibly an unforetunate decision, because someof the passages could havebeen much more effective witha full orchestra.

The work consisted of soet

tings of some 25 songs from the13th century monastery at Bene-diktbeurern. Orff set all thesongs in Latin, and this washis first real use of the langu-age, as well as the first of hisreally excellent compositions.

The performance itself wasquite good. Francis Hester wasmarvelous considering he (abass) was singing a baritonepart and had to strain to hitsome of the higher notes. Thechoruses, when they stayedtogether, did a nice job. Prof.Liepmann has a tendency, whichI remember from the King Davidconcert, to go a little heavywith the instrumental parts ofthe ensemble at the expense ofthe singers. In loud passages,the chorus was very difficult tohear. The percussion sectionhad a field day, for Orff is areal "boom-boom" and "ding-dong" composer. He loves touse tympani, bass drum, bells,chimes, triangles, xylophone,etc. and the players enjoyedthemselves thoroughly.

Heavies trail BU, NUas crew season begiMS

By Harry DrabTech's heavyweight varsity

crew got its first taste of ac-tion last Saturday. R.acingagainst BU and Northeastern,the "heavies" found North-eastern's relatively recently-formed squad just a bit too hot*to handle.

Both the varsity and juniorvarsity boats raced over the-Charles' 2000-meter course, in-stead of the old traditionalmile-and-three-quarter distanc e.This is due to a recent de-cision by most coaches to rowthe shorter metric course. Con-ditions for the races were fair.The JV race was held in atailwind of 5-10 miles ari hour,with some chop to the water.Dur-ing the varsity race, the

On Saturday Captain Dick Smith '69 skipperedthe, A division boat and led MIT with two firstsin five races, Bill Michels '70 and Chuck Wayne'70 alternated as his crew. In B division SteveMilligan '70 skippered with Li Liang '70 as hiscrew. MIT quickly jumped out to a small leadwith Smith's first victory but this was short livedas the engineers fell victim to sprained anklesand mental lapses, The former incapacitatedMIT's original B skipper and the latter resultedin two needless foul outs. With these misfortunesand good sailing by the opposition, MIT endedthe first day 30 points out of first and in the Imiddle of the 16 school field,

On-Sunday Michels-, Wayne, Dave McComb '70and Tony Piccardi '70 left to co-skipper in aminor regatta at Emerson, and Bob Berliner '70threw away his crutches to skipper in B division.Milligan then crewed for Berliner and Liangswitched to A division and crewed for Dick. Bothskippers sailedconslstently well and Tech movedinto second place after the 15th race. Unfortun-ately, the Yale team finished even stronger andedged out MIT by five points for second. Thiswas mainly due to Tom Seaver, their A divisionskipper, who won his last three races and edgedout Smith for high point skipper in the regatta byfive points. Coast Guard won the regatta with271, while Yale had 255, and MIT fnllowed with250.
