Despite an increase in overallgraduate student enrollment, thepercentage of underrepresentedminority graduate students at MIThas not significantly changed overthe last two decades, according toAssociate Dean of the GraduateSchool Isaac M. Colbert.

On a national level, the numberof doctorates earned by minoritiesincreased by 27 percent over thepast decade, according to a studyreleased last month by the AmericanCouncil on Education. However, thestudy, which was reported in an arti-cle in The New York Times, alsoshowed that degrees awarded toblacks dropped by 9 percent anddegrees awarded to black males fellby 20 percent.

The number of doctorates award-ed to American Indians doubled to0.6 percent in the 10-year period,while Latinos posted a 41 percentgain. Asian-Americans accountedfor 3.2 percent of doctorates issuedin 1992, up 1.9 percent from 1982,according to the study.

SSC Falls

Congress' decision to cut thefunding to complete the construc-tion of the Superconducting SuperCollider last October dealt a heavyblow to particle physics research,both at MIT and around the nation.

"The physics community feltthat [the SSC] was extremelyimportant for research into the mostfundamental [physical] interac-tions," said Henry W. Kendall, J. A.Stratton professor of physics. "Ithad a design that would help it solvesome of the outstanding problems inphysics."

According to Vincent D. Rose'94, an astrophysics major and pres-ident of the Society of Physics Stu-dents, "The real cost is the trend thatit reflects that the U.S. governmentis investing less in science" and tak-ing less interest in it.

Overall, the SSC was the unfor-tunate victim of a variety of prob-lems, which included a sluggisheconomy, federal budget realloca-tions, public misunderstanding, anddifficulties in "big science," accord-ing to the physics community.

those minorities whose representationis less than the national demograph-ics. They comprise 3.8 percent, orapproximately 200, of the 5024 grad-uate students at MIT, Colbert said.

·No change for 20 yearsAt MIT, "trends are flat" for stu-

dents from underrepresented groupswho are in graduate degree pro-grams, Colbert said. Increases inminority enrollment have been off-set by increases in the entire gradu-ate student population-

"We really have to do better interms of providing opportunities"for African Americans and otherunderrepresented minorities at MIT,Colbert said. "If there are any excel-lent students of color out there, weought to be able to attract them," hesaid, referring to both underrepre-sented black and Latino students.

The cancellation of the SSC"was a disaster to high-energyphysics because it has shut off apath to the future," said InstituteProfessor Jerome I. Friedman.Friedman shared the 1990 NobelPrize in Physics with Kendall andCanadian Richard E. Taylor for thediscovery of quarks, which areamong the simplest and most impor-tant of elementary particles.

The SSC was designed to inves-tigate the fundamental nature ofmatter by smashing togetherextremely high-energy subatomicparticles and observing the results.As these particles split apart, theyrelease energy and form other fun-damental particles. These areobserved when they hit highly sen-sitive detectors.

When subatomic particles col-lide, the energy released is strongenough to break the bonds betweenthe even smaller particles that arethe most basic components of theuniverse.

Physically, the proposed SSCwould have been an 86-kilometer

Coretta Scott King to Speak FridayEvent Marks MIT's 20th Annual Commemoration of M.L. King Jr.By Daniel C. StevensonASSOCIA TE NEWS EDITOR

On Friday, Coretta Scott King,widow of slain civil rights leaderRev. Martin Luther King Jr., willspeak at MIT as part of the 20thannual MIT celebration of the lifeand work of her husband.

King, who is president and chiefexecutive officer of the MartinLuther King Jr. Center for Nonvio-lent Social Change, will speak inKresge Auditorium about "TheMovement for Economic and SocialJustice: 1994 and Beyond." Her talkis part of a program which includesreadings and performances in Lobby7 and a symbolic march from Lobby7 to Kresge.

The program in Lobby 7 beginsat 9:45 a.m. and includes a musicaland dance presentation choreo-

graphed by Robin Offley, adminis-trative assistant in the admissionsoffice. Additionally, there will bereadings and recitations by membersof the MIT community, according toArnold R. Henderson Jr., assistantdean for Student Assistance Ser-vices

The march begins at 11:45 a.m.,and participants will walk fourabreast, as Rev. King marched inthe 1960s.

At noon, President Charles M.Vest will speak, then Coretta ScottKing will speak.

"We're trying to create betterunderstanding among people hereand the differcnt groups at MIT. ...I've asked all of the people and allthe speakers to frame their com-ments about reaching out to eachother," Henderson said.

The extensive program is an"opportunity for this whole commu-nity to be able to communicate andvalue differences," Henderson said.

"Each year we have a distin-guished person come from outsidethe community to commemorateMartin Luther King and his contri-butions and the way it impacts onMIT," said Professor of PhysicsMichael S. Feld, an organizer of theevent.

This year's event "represents the20th year that we have commemo-rated Dr. King's dream, and that iswhy we felt it was important tobring Mrs. King to MIT," said Pro-fessor Leo Osgood, another pro-gram organizer.

Rone Marrow Drive to Be Held for Young Child with Leukemia~~~~~~~~~~~~~ d y i t h h o p t l " t ' n o b g d a " f o r t h en

By Andy StarkSTAFF RFaORTER

There will be a bone marrow drive atMIT on Mar. 4 to try to find a match fortwo-year-old Patrick McDonough, aleukemia patient who needs a transplant.The drive, which will be in La Sala de Puer-to Rico in the Student Center, falls duringNational Bone Marrow Drive Week.

Craig Venezia, assistant communicationsconsole operator of Physical Plant, is help-ing to organize the drive, beginning with ameeting today in Room 66-148 at 4:30 p.m.Volunteers are needed to "try to get a smallcampaign together," to promote the driveand prepare for it, Venezia said.

Venezia does not know McDonough, buthe decided to plan the upcoming drive afterrunning a similar one for his nephew lastmonth.

The initial step in trying to find a matchfor McDonough is to take two tablespoonsof blood from potential donors. The blood istested for a match of four out of the six anti-gens, specific genetic markers which areunique to each person. Donors with success-ful matches are called back for further test-ing. The overall chance of finding someonewhose marrow Patrick can use is less thanone in 20,000, Venezia said.

In addition, records of all donors' anti-gens will be entered into a national reg-

istry's data banks, where they may matchsomeone in need of a bone marrow trans-plant in the future. However, some doctorsbelieve that a perfect match is not even pos-sible.

If a close match is found after the secondtest, doctors would then extract bone mar-row from the hip of the donor to inject intothe patient.

McDonough would have all of his owncancerous marrow drained. With no bonemarrow, McDonough would have to stay ina Clean Room - a carefully ventilated andprotected room - to assure that he does notget infected with even the slightest illness.

The donor would only spend about one

day in the hospital. "It's no big deal" for thedonor, Venezia said. "If you see what thosekids go through you'd do anything forthem."

The transplant has the greatest chance ofsuccess when the patient is in remission,meaning that the cancer is not active. This iswhen the chemotherapy is most likely to killall the cancer.

McDonough is currently in his first remis-sion,. but doctors do not know exactly howlong he will remain in this condition. Testingfor the four-antigen match takes three weeks,and testing for a full match takes up to anoth-er month. Thus, it is essential to hold the mar-row drive soon, Venezia said.

THE WASHINGTON POST

CAPE CANAVERAL

Bedeviled by technical snags, the space sh-uttle Discove.r astro-nauts gave up trying to launch a cantankerous satellite Monday. Butofficials said the device, anchored to the shuttle's robot arm, stillmanaged to demonstrate a promising new technique for producinghigh-speed semiconductors.

Frustrated in their work to launch the Wake Shield Facility satel-lite, the U.S.-Russian crew enjoyed a late-afternoon call from Presi-dent Clinton, who praised the mission as a step toward a jointly oper-ated space station later this decade.

"Wes're going to do everything we can to keep supporting thespace program and the space station," Clinton said from mission con-trol in Houston.

"I hope what America is seeing of you today, particularly thecooperation between the United States and Russia," he said, " ... willstrengthen the support amongthe American people for the space pro-gram and the space station in particular."

Floating in front of Russian and American flags on the wall ofDiscovery's lower deck, the six-member crew thanked the presidentfor his support. They called the 60th shuttle mission a success despitetechnical problems that prevented them from launching the $12.5million Wake Shield.

Islamic guerrillas in southern Lebanon killed four Israeli soldiersand wounded five Monday in a daylight ambush against an armoredpatrol that brought Israeli retaliation with artillery and rockets.

The Iranian-backed Hezbollah fundamentalist organization said itcarried out the ambush to mark the second anniversary of the assassi-nation of its leader, Sheik Abbas Musawi, who was killed by anIsraeli helicopter raid.

Israel's military chief of staff, Ehud Barak, told reporters thepatrol was ambushed as it made its way through dense terrain nearSojoud in a portion of. southern Lebanon held by Israel.

The armored patrol was attacked by light weapons and rocket-pro-pelled grenades from close range, joined by missiles from fartheraway. The attack was followed by an hour-long battle as Israel calledin helicopters, planes and artillery.

News reports from Lebanon said Israel attacked three villages afew miles north of the ambush site, but there were no immediaterepo.s .n the extent of caualties frrom the retaliatory attacks. Reutersaid the villages hit by Israeli airstrikes included Jarjou and AinQana, both northwest of Sojoud, and Mlita, in the Iqlim Toufah area,a mountainous ridge held by Hezbollah.

WASHINGTON alter the spending and deficit out-look.

Leon E. Panetta, director of theWhite House Office of Managemientand Budget, said that the bulk of thereduction in the projected 1995shortfall is attributable to passagelast year of Clinton's economicplan, which raised taxes and cutspending in an effort to improve thelong-term health of the economy.

"This is the most consistentdeficit reduction effort in 40 years,"Panetta said during a White Housenews conference. "This is a budgetintended to keep the nation, our eco-nomic recovery, and the investmentstrategy the president began lastyear on track."

Although the president and hislieutenants outlined their budgetaryobjectives in expansive terms, Clin-ton's second budget really representsa standstill spending plan for a gov-ernment caught in an ever-tighteningfiscal vise. It proposes a total of $30billion in cuts in discretionarydomestic outlays in 1995, partly off-set by $16 billion in new spendingon other domestic programs.

For example, to find money fbrsuch priorities as the Head Startpreschool program, the hiring of100,000 new police officers and anexpanded job training and youthapprenticeship initiative, Clintonwants to reduce funding for masstransit systems by 25 percent,sharply scale back energy assistancefor the poor and stop funding con-struction of public housing units.

Most of the net savings projectedby Clinton's budget would comefrom reductions in the defense bud-get, as the Pentagon continues toadjust its. operations, to the realities

of the post-Cold War world.Domestic departments, in contrast,would use most of the funds gener-ated by cuts in some of their pro-grams to pay for increases in others.

Clinton has been forced by thespending caps in last year's deficitagreement to draft a budget thatcalls for a slight decline in total"discretionary" outlays for defenseand domestic programs. Discre-tionary spending, at $542 billion,accounts for roughly a third of thetotal federal budget.

The remaining two-thirds of thebudget, some $976 billion, is allo-cated to "mandatory" spending:benefits paid under Medicare, Med-icaid, Social Security and other enti-tlement programs and interest on thenational debt. Those outlays are notsubject to the annual appropriationsprocess and will continue to growunder Clinton's spending plan.

In fact, administration officialssaid their new budget provides freshevidence that health care costs arenow the main culprit in driving thedeficit, underscoring the need forcomprehensive health care reform.They said they believed the loomingbattle over health care reform woulddominate the budgetary and eco-nomic agendas for 1994.

Since the administration is notproposing any broad new taxes, thebudget battle in Congress is expect-ed to be less brutal than last sum-mer's struggle over Clinton's five-year economic plan. Still, the 1995budget contains a few revenue-rais-ers: Clinton wants to quadruple thefederal cigarette tax to 99 cents apack to help pay for health carereform and he is proposing $1.5 bil-lion in new fees paid by gun dealers,national park visitors and otherusers .of federal- services........

President Clinton Mondayunveiled an austere federal budgetfor 1995 that calls for elimination of115 long-established programs, sig-nificant reductions in defense andmost domestic outlays and onlyslight increases for the administra-tion's top priorities.

The administration's $1.52 tril-lion budget is designed to advancethe president's agenda within themodest bounds permitted by toughnew spending caps, while still meet-ing the deficit reduction targetsincluded in the economic planpassed by Congress last August.

Yet the funding shifts and pro-gram curtailments it proposes arecertain to provoke bitter strugglesamong affected interest groups andtheir allies in Congress. LiberalDemocrats already are accusingClinton of failing to honor his cam-paign promises to reverse the effectsof 12 years of Republican rule andreinvigorate social spending.

Clinton, speaking to a businessgroup in Houston, said that the newbudget demonstrates that "we meanbusiness" about bringing down thefederal deficit. "It's the toughestbudget on spending cuts that Con-gress has yet seen," the presidentdeclared.

The White House estimates thatits budget will leave the governmentwith a defciit of $176 billion nextyear, down from $235 billion thisyear. Next year's projected shortfallis far below the $305 billion esti-mate made a year ago.

The numbers could change yetagain: the budget reflects very littleof Clinton's health care and welfarereform initiatives, which will be

WASHINGTON

U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders and five of her predeces-sors added their endorsement Monday to a Clinton administration-backed plan to protect Americans from the dangers of secondhandcigarette smoke by severely restricting smoking in most of thenation's public buildings.

Legislation introduced by Rep. Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif.,would prohibit smoking in public buildings used regularly by morethan 10 people unless separately ventilated rooms were provided forsmokers.

Waxman's subcommittee on health and the environment - partof the House Committee on Energy and Commerce - held a hearingMonday on the bill, known as the Smoke-Free Environment Act of1993.

Last year, an Environmental Protection Agency study identifiedsecondhand smoke as a deadly carcinogen and blamed it for 3,000lung cancer deaths annually in adults and as many as 300,000 casesof bronchitis and pneumonia in children.

The gathering of Elders and the former surgeons general - Anto-nia C. Novello, C. Everett Koop, Julius B. Richmond, S. Pail Ehrlichand Jesse L. Steinfeld - marked the first time they had met to sup-port a single piece of legislation.

But Tobacco institute consultant Charles 0. Whitley claimed thattestimony favoring a ban on smoking in public buildings was basedon old reports and questionable EPA studies.

ly covers the cost of universal healthcare. White House and key Democ-ratic members of Congress predictedthat CBO will cautiously endorse theadministration assertion that premi-ums, higher cigarette taxes and sav-ings in other health programs will beenough to cover the cost and leave asmall amount for deficit reduction.

Others outside the administrationsaid CBO was going to challengethe cost estimates, which would be afurther blow to prospects for theClinton plan.

Although the CBO is a congres-sional agency, so far its estimatesand rulings have been accepted bythe Clinton administration asgospel..Because of its status, admin-istration officials worked franticallyto convince the- CBO to keep the-health plan off-budget. Until recent-ly, they thought they had prevailed.

Indeed, in early December TheWashington Post quoted congres-sional sources as saying that CBOhad agreed to keep the bulk of the

spending included in the president'splan off the federal budget.

CBO Director Robert D. Reis-chauer declined to commleni.

If the advance reports on the tes-timony Reischauer will give Tues-day afternoon to the House Waysand Means Committee are correct,CBO will not use the word "taxes"to describe the payments allemployers would be required tomake to cover 80 percent of the costof their employees' health coverage.

Rather, they would be classifiedas one of the "miscellaneous or off-setting receipts," akin to grazing andmining fees and other payments thegovernment receives from peoplewho derive specific benefits inreturn for these assessments.Medicare Part B payments also gointo this category. It was not imme-diately clear under the CBO planwhether the accounts would be dis-played as part of the traditional uni-fied budget or separately in a specialbudget category or appendix.

LOS ANGELES

In the aftermath of last month's earthquake, thousands of policeofficers, sherilffl deputies and 'National ,.uard tops helped keepcriminals off the streets in record numbers, according to internalpolice records.

Day-by-day records gathered by the Los Angeles Police Depart-ment and obtained by the Los Angeles Times show that so-calledrepressible crime - those crimes that experts say can be deterred byuniformed police officers - dropped by 21.5 percent during the sec-ond half of January, the period following the Jan. 17 earthquake.

The repressible crime statistics - which include murders, mostassaults, robberies, burglaries, thefts from cars and automobile thefts- bolster arrest numbers released by the department during the daysafter the earthquake and help dispel any suggestion that arrests weredown only because the department was busy performing other dutiesrather than arresting suspects.

Moreover, while some of the decreases in reported crimes arealmost certainly attributable to the outpouring of good will that fol-lowed the early-morning quake on Jan. 17, the breadth of the crimedrop suggests to many analysts that the department's mobilization,which put thousands of additional officers on the streets, had amarked impact on crime in the city.

A mobilization was activated within hours of the earthquake, as offi-cers throughout the department were ordered to work 12-hour shifts.

musician to appreciate good music.Also, the comment "His direction of the

orchestra is also limp" is totally uncalled for. Ithink my response to this comment would be,"Your review of The Foundling is also limp."(Just a side note: I mention again that this let-ter is responding to this person's review, notto the person)

The reviewer has failed to truly review themusic. The production Saturday night wentvery well, and the crowd really liked it.Repeat: Really liked it. Not any sort of "flop,"as this reviewer would have you believe.Also, they did not seem to think it was toolong. Apparently this reviewer has never beento an opera, a concert, or something that couldpossibly take up the better part of an evening.There are in fact 20 songs in this production.Even if every song was only three minuteslong, that would require at least an hour justfor singing. There is also a large amount ofdialogue in this play, most of whi-ch is quitfunny. This is somewhat of a two-faced play,because it has very good music and still hasgood humor along the sidelines.

Regarding the music again, most peoplewho listen to a lot of music know that mostpieces of music that would appear in an opera

or concert are longer than three minutes each.In fact, to have a song of 10 minutes or moreis not surprising. However, for someone whoreally loves this kind of music, 10 minutesmay not be long enough. I am one of thesepeople, and to me, there should be more ofwhat I hear in The Foundling. It is really goodmusic. The fact is that not everyone will likeit. However, if you really love music, such asChopin, Mozart, Debussy, Gershwin and evenAndrew Lloyd Webber, then you should enjoythe music in The Foundling. One more point.This is a comedy. It is supposed to be funny.In fact, there is a lot of good humor in thisproduction. You are not there to just listen tothe story, but to enjoy a few of laughs (for meit was a lot) along the way.

Throughout the play, there are many songsthat I do not play in, so I also get to listen andenjoy. And even though I have heard theentire play twice, I will still enjoy hearing itagin. I hope that the review did not mislead

people too much, because The Foundling is avery good production, and it is facing theproblem that two people will never give thesame review, regardless of the quality of theproduction.

Jeffrey S. Poore '97

Lest anyone accuse mcie of being biased, Iwill acknowledge with pride that I am of Jew-ish background, and I have been brought up tobe watchful for anti-Semitism, and in fact,prejudice of any kind. However, dislike ofanti-Semitism does not make me at all preju-diced against Muslims or any other groups;quite the contrary. In earlier columns in TheTech, I have called for intervention to assistthe Bosnian Muslims, likening their terribleplight to that of the Jews in the Holocaust, andI have always taken a stand against perceivedracism or hatred of any kind.

Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews) everywhereshould remember the Holocaust, as ThomasKennealy, an Australian non-Jew and authorof the book "Schindler's List" wrote. "TheHolocaust is the most extreme version of root-less race hate in European history," Kenncalysaid, and it is important for Jews and Gentilesalike to "retain the memory of the Holocaustand to receive the warnings inherent in it."

Salman Rushdie deserves recognition as anoteworthy author and a champion of the free-dom of speech. Rushdie champions the rightto express controversial opinions, but toindoctrinate opinions into education repre-sents a blatant perversion of this right. Bigotslike Tony Martin should not be granted thesame respect and recognition as Rushdie andhis colleagues.

writing, not any controversial meaning.If, however, Rushdie were to teach a

course using The Satanic Verses as the defini-tive source on the Muslim world and theQu'ran, he would be guilty of the same inex-cusable bigotry afflicting Martin. Martin'sworks can be defended to the point where theyare seen as presenting an alternative view. Butwhen wrongful, false descriptions of history,misattributions to sources, and the other faultsin Martin's writing are taught in a historyclass, they clearly represent prejudice, bigotry,and the indoctrination of hate.

Wellesley College, or any other institu-tion, should no more defend Martin's teach-ing of his book as a source of historical factthan it should defend Bradley R. Smith or hisCommittee for Open Debate on the Holo-caust. I am all for defending free speech andfor allowing people to express their ownopinions. In fact, I strongly agree with Coun-terpoint's motto, "I do not agree with a wordyou say, but I will defend to your death yourright to say it," rightfully attributed toVoltaire (not Patrick Henry, as Khan asserts).However, when these opinions are masked inthe guise of fact and are taught and incorpo-rated into education as fact, they transgressfree speech and approach brainwashing andthought control reminiscent of Orwell's1984.

Column by Daniel C. StevensonASSOCIA TE ANEWS EDITOR

In a column in the January issue of Coun-terpoint, editor in chief Samira Khan rightful-ly called for an end to censorship, particularlystate- or institution-sponsored censorship ofblasphemous or potentially insulting works.Following upon this idea, Khan correctlyasserts that we should condemn the fatwa, ordeath threat, placed against author SalmanRushdie almost five years ago by then-Ayatol-lah Khomeini of Iran. But Khan's argumentsare fundamentally flawed when he extends hisdefense of unpopular thought to include theworks of Wellesley College history professorTony Martin. Khan declares that Martin, whoteaches courses using his book The SecretRelationship Between Blacks and Jews,deserves the same respect and honor bestowedupon Rushdie, who received a citation andhonorary visiting professorship from MIT lastNovember.

The problem with Khan's argument andthe principal distinction between the twoauthors lies in the fact that Rushdie wrote anovel, The Satanic Verses, a work of fictionthat prompted the fatwa and the ensuing con-troversy, whereas Martin teaches a historycourse from his text. The Satanic Versesshould not be seen as any more historical thanDante's Inferno or Swift's Gulliver's Travels

it is an interesting, possibly inflammatoryfictional account of debatable literary merit.As Khan points out, Rushdie's literary great-ness stems mainly from his other works,including Midnight's Children, for which hewon the prestigious Booker Award.

The works by Dante Alighieri or JonathanSwift also contain insults like those attributedto The Satanic Verses - Dante portrays a hellwhere unbelievers or Dante's rivals are tor-tured in infernal pits, and Swift is notoriousfor reaming Catholics. Yet no professor wouldteach Dante's Inferno or any work of Swift asan accurate historical account of realisticevents, save for the references to setting andsome of the characters. The same argumentdemonstrates the difference between Rushdieand Martin: Rushdie writes fiction, with a pos-sibly historical setting, which should beappreciated and interpreted for its literarymerit or inspiration, not for the truthfulness ofits content. Any recognition of Rushdieshould stem from the literary merits of his

Tech ReviewOf The Foundling

Unfair to ProductionI am one of the orchestra players for The

Foundling, and I am quite shocked at thereview given by Jonathan Richmond PhD '91["Student-written Foundling yearns for edit-ing," Feb. 4]. The first thing I disagree with ishis opening statement, "It's rarely a good ideato allow writers to direct their own work." Ihappen to very much disagree, not only as amusician, but as someone who listens to agreat variety of music. If I were to ever com-pose music, I would insist that I conduct, notsome conductor who guides the playersthrough the notes, especially since it would bemy dream on paper.

The next thing that really upset me was thetone of the reviewer. I do not know the review-er, and this is certainly not enough to make aproper judgment of his character, but I amshocked at the way he is so rude in his review.Even if I was not a musician, I would still lovethe music. Maybe it is that musical part of methat likes the music, but you don't have to be a

humorous content to Carrey, and her deliv-ery of her own lines is uninspired.

Marino is an acting flop as well. It istruly pitiful that the man cannot even por-tray himself believably. Though perhaps acute gimmick, Marino really brings downthe ending of the film. Carrey could easilyhave carried the film himself without rely-ing on a celebrity role of such significantimportance as Marino's.

One interesting production aspect wasthe use of animals. Aside from the dolphin,more than 25 animals grace the screen, mostof which appear in two scenes in Ace'sapartment. The first is silly, as all the ani-mals come out from their hiding places togreet Ace when he comes home. The sec-ond is much better and involves nearly theentire animal cast (including a skunk, a cou-ple of penguins, and a monkey) watching inawe during the goofy sex scene.

The music is also well chosen. Drawingfrom various other film scores, it always fitsthe mood on the screen at the time, often inan amusing or ironic way. Listen for thetheme from The Crying Game in an oddlyappropriate spot. The use of the tune alonedraws several well-deserved laughs.

Though indisputably stupid, Ace Ventu-ra: Pet Detective is also genuinely funny, andCarrey excels in the lead role. If there weresuch a category, he would win hands down anAcademy Award for best facial contortions. Infact, he'd probably be the only nominee.

A dmiitedly, this movie sounds stupid atthe outset. A pet detective looking fora kidnapped dolphin? Surely you jest!But Jim Carrey is nothing if not a

In context, these are hilarious. Nomatter what happens in the rest of the screen,Carrey's expression is always amusing.

that took the stage that night. Phish drummerJon Fishman was already on-stage as theDude's drummer and it was rumored beforethe show that Phish guitarist Trey Anastasiowould join them.

Those rumors turned out to be true. WhenTrey took the stage, the audience went wildwith excitement. It was like a small hurricaneof flannel, dotted with prep school caps and"Is it Live or is it Dead?" T-shirts.

songs before they were joined by Phish bassistMike Gordon, whose appearance took thecrowd copiip'letely by SurPiJIS. TAhe itrlduc-tions were ideally spaced for optimal crowdreaction, and the crowd did react. The air tin-gled with energy and excitement. With three-quarters of Phish on-stage, the Dude of Lifelaunched into "I Don't Care About AnybodyBut Myself."

Although Trey stayed for the whole set,Mike left after two or three numbers. Hisreplacement, the Dude of Life's bassist, optedfor more traditional baselines, but redeemedhimself by singing the band's cover of"Respect" by Aretha Franklin.

The Dude himself was kind of a dork.With his top hat and his gold-trimmed redcape, he bore an uncanny resemblance to bothSlash and the evil prince from The PrincessBride. Besides singing poorly, the Dude doesnot play any instruments. This means that hehas absolutely nothing to do while the instru-mentalists solo. Nothing, that is, except lookmore like a dork by nodding or shaking his

head to the beat of the song.Supposedly, at the Dude's concert in

Northamprton, he outdlid himself by wearingstockings, a green dress, a top hat, and gog-gles. At that concert, he threw rubber sharksand a rubber pig into the crowd. The audienceat the Paradise had to settle for one rubberchicken, which he taunted us with first.

The Dude's primary strength is purportedto be as a lyricist. He wrote the words to"Dinner and a Movie" and "Fluffhead," bothcuts from Phish's Junta album. However, thelyrics for "Dinner and a Movie" consistentirely of (no joke): "Let's go out to dinnerand see a movie." At the Paradise, the Dudecame out as lyrically insane. His songsbetrayed a twisted sense of humor, not thekind of humor to bond to an audience with.

Because of Trey's presence, the Dude's-backup band was hard to appraise. Theycouldn't seem to blend with Trey's guitarsolos, and Trey seemed to have no desire tomatch their less jazzy style. The resultant lackof coherence left the music less satisfying

than it could have been.The Dude's guitarist was good, in spite of

his penchant for Phish-like off-key solos. Thekeyboardist, however, was exceptionally bad.He forced the band to let him solo, thetnsounded horrible. The band actually cut hissolo short and did not encourage him to soloagain.

The set list included "Lucy in the Subwaywith Daffodils," "She's Bitchin' Again," and"Family Picture." The band also covered theBeatles' "Sexie Sadie" (which they performedvery well), "Respect," Steppenwolfs "ILivin'After Midnight (Rockin' till the Dawn)," andJames Brown's "I Feel Good."

The show turned out to be pretty good,though there's no telling how it would havegone if the Dude of Life had had to stand onhis own, without Trey Anastasio or Mike Gor-don. On the other hand, the show with Treyand Mike could have been better with a littlerehearsing.

If you're going to see the Dude of Life, seethem where Phish won't let them fall flat, like

It's interesting what happens when you give extraordinary people an extraordinary amount ofautonomy and support.

They innovate like crazy. Then their company takes off and grows like very few others have.Case in point: San Diego's own QUALCOMM. We've gone from 8 employees in 1985 to over

1,300 today. That makes us one of America's fastest growing high-tech companies.It also doesn't hurt to have the company launched by communications visionaries like Dr. Irwin

M. Jacobs and Dr. Andrew J. Viterbi.The trick, of course, is to keep the entrepreneurial spirit flourishing despite phenomenal growth.

That's why we give our engineers as much freedom and encouragement as possible. This includesan open door policy company-wide, the latitude to set your own hours, the private space providedby your own office, and more.

In response, QUALCOMM people have spearheaded many of our industry's most challengingtechnologies. Among them are mobile satellite communication networks, dual mode (analog andCDMA) mobile and portable phones, VLSI products, full-custom ASIC design, low earth orbitsatellites, and more.

Say SSC (play an increasing role, as "the scopeof the apparatus" used to investigateparticle phvsics "certainly makes itlook like the way to go," Rose said.

Particle physicists now look toresearch at existing accelerators,such as the Stanford Linear Acceler-ator and CERN, Europe's mainaccelerator facility. In fact, CERNcurrently has plans for building anew, larger collider, dubbed theLarge Hadron Collider.

"There will be a solace to find interms of joining the LHC which isan accelerator proposed to be con-structed at the CERN laboratory,"Friedman said. "It's a somewhatlower energy machine [than theSSC], but will provide informationfor physics beyond the standard[physical] model."

Budget, waste were factorsOne overwhelming factor that

weighed against the proposed accel-erator was the runimor of mismanage-ment, according to physicists. TheSSC was nearing completion at atime of great concern about thedeficit, Friedman said.

"A number of people in theHouse [of Representatives] had thefeeling that this kind of researchwas a luxury," Friedman said.

However, Friedman pointed outthat "the yearly construction budget[of the SSC] was on the order of'two shuttle flights, so it was not as ifthis was an extraordinary expense incomparison to what they werespending at the time."

"This particular project didwaste some money," Lightman said."I don't know whether the govern-ing bodies were lax in their manage-ment, but it is well known thatmoney was wasted."

As a result of "the loss of thisgreat project, the U.S. particlephysics community is regrouping,"Kendall said. "We have to now seewhether there will be the funds to

establish the benefits of research atits outset, one had to be very cau-tious about its [being supportedl"

"We have no way of knowing"what the future benefit of SSCresearch may have been, Rose said,"since projects like this are on thefrontier of technology."

Supporters of the SSC expectedthe new technology to have unfore-seen spin-offs in applied science.Historically, endeavors in pure sci-ence have provided the foundationsfor the development of applicationsin fields such as engineering, medi-cine, and chemistry, as well as inphysics, Friedman said.

"Pure knowledge is a noblehuman pursuit," said Lightman, "butyou can also argue for its applica-tions." For instance, "whenMaxwell worked out the equationsfor electromagnetism [in the late19th century], that was pure sci-ence," he said. "Pure science alwayshpcrnm sAnnliprl QcienrP "

The public's doubt over the SSCwas not whether its research couldlead to applications, but whether itcould lead to applications of compa-rable importance to society.

According to MIT physicists,historical evidence seems to indicatethat such windfalls would have beena possibility. One example has beenthe development of Magnetic Reso-nance Imaging. "Nuclear magneticresonance was invented first forphysics research," said Rose. "Mag-netic resonance imaging, CAT scans... have been used for everything,not only for medical applications."

Another application, has beensynchrotron radiation, which hasbeen "extremely important to biolo-gy, medicine, chemistry, and mate-rials science," said Friedman.

However, "experiments in purephysics really have a great difficultyin convincing the public," saidLightman, who does not see the fail-ure of the SSC as a failure on thepart of physicists.

"I think the support of pure sci-ence has always faced an uphill bat-tle," he said, "but if we look at thesituntion historically it's clear thatpure science has always paid off,"said Lightman.

"There's also this quest for truththat science is worth investing in,for itself," said Rose.

continue current research."Kendall sees this cut in funding

as a national trend. "Research at MITis underfunded badly," he said. "Thisis generally true in the country."

Lack of public confidence alsoplayed a key role in the SSC'sdemise. The initial problems withthe lens of the Hubble Space Tele-scope raised public doubt as to thedependability of so-called "big sci-ence" - projects whose costs rangein the billions of dollars.

"Congress-people questionwhether they should be spending taxdollars on the project" when otherprojects in big science, notably theHubble, did not appear to be repayingtaxpayers' investment, Lightman said.

"It's hard to pinpoint" the causesof the SSC's cancellation, saidFriedman, pointing to delayed shut-tle flights as another reason behindthe lack of public confidence."There was a feeling that big sci-Pnce was not rl.nPndablep " hpsaid. "The confidence in the sciencecommunity was one of the elementsinvolved" in the death of the SSC.

The combination of rumoredwaste of taxpayer dollars and lackof public confidence in big sciencewas "devastating," Lightman said.

Doubtful merit fueled oppositionOver the past two years, public

debate increasingly focused onwhether the benefits of the Super-collider's research would be worthits billion-dollar price tag. Manyquestioned how the discovery ofsubatomic particles or confirmationof a "grand unified theory" couldhave any bearing on contemporaryAmerican lifestyle.

According to Friedman, the SSC"became the symbol of somethingso esoteric, we could not support it."

The SSC faced a national "atti-tude that put basic research at not avery high priority in the country,"said Friedman. "Unless one could

The SSC project began to takeform in 1983, when groups of parti-cle physicists met to discuss whatthe next step in particle physicsresearch should be, Friedman said.They concluded that the construc-tion of the SSC would present thebest prospects for further researchinto the nature of matter.

The SSC was to be "a continua-tion in U.S. programs which stretchedsince the 1950s. It would have been aculmination in research ... that hasbeen enormously fruitful for theU.S." in the past, Kendall said.

The project was supportedthrough three presidential administra-tions until coming under question inthe early 1990s, Friedman said. Thedeath of the SSC raises many ques-tions among physicists as to what thefuture of particle physics will be.

"The cancellation of [the SSC]so abruptly after 10 years of govern-ment support ... really stresses rela-tions between the government andthe technological community,"Kendall said.

political repercussions. I am con-cerned about the [shrinking] invest-ment in science, and that is what haspeople concerned in the world ofphysics," said Rose, who plans toattend graduate school. "I hope thatI will be able to continue inphysics," he said. "I hope there willbe funding for that."

The general sentiment is thatfuture, particle physics projects willhave to depend more on internation-al collaboration to avoid the prob-lems that plagued the SSC.

Department participation neededColbert attributed part of this

low representation to the academicdepartments. "If the faculty wantedthese students here in greater num-bers, they would be here," he said.

When Tyler was on leave for ayear, the number of minority appli-cants dropped dramatically, accord-ing to Colbert. This trend demon-strated that departments were notdoing enough recruiting on theirown, and were relying on the gradu-ate office, he said.

"The problem lies in departmentsthat make the decisions" about admit-ting graduate students, said ClarenceG. Williams, special assistant to thepresident and assistant equal opportu-nity officer. When choosing students,the departments should recognize "allof the constituent elements" of the

applicant pool, Williams said."We do have representation in

departments where it is very difficultto get minority applicants," Colbertsaid. The division of toxicology divi-sion and the departments of physics,aeronautical and astronautical engi-neering, and mechanical engineeringhave led in improving minority rep-resentation recently, he added.

Emphasis at pre-college levelBoth Williams and Colbert point

to placing a greater emphasis on thepre-college level as a way toencourage minority participation inundergraduate and graduate scienceprograms.

Along with encouraging capableminority applicants, MIT should"continue to see where we can helpon the pre-college level," Williamssaid.

Primary and secondary schools

need to "do a great deal more" toemphasize curriculums that will"point these students to math, sci-ence, and engineering," Colbertadded.

"In terms of black males, it is notsurprising that the numbers havegone extremely downward when youlook at the number of black maleswho do not finish high school,"Williams said. The pre-college level"is probably one of the most impor-tant places"' where science educationneeds to be emphasized.

Twenty-six percent of black andLatino males are "enmeshed in ourlegal system," according to Colbert,either imprisoned, under indictment,or with previous criminal records."Society has sort of written off theblack male and the Latino male."

New program has some successIn 1991, Provost Mark S.

Wrighton introduced a program toencourage the hiring of minorityfaculty. The program has noi pro-duced "stunning results," Colbertsaid, but it has "made very clearwhat the Institutional priority is."

Wrighton's initiative is "a veryphysical step to be taken," Colbertsaid, and it is one that few otherinstitutions follow. By establishingthe program, "the administration iswilling to make sure that theavenues are open and available fortargets of opportunity," Colbertsaid.

This is "probably the mostimportant program that I think wehave seen here," Williams said."We may not see exactly a greatdeal of progress so far, but I thinkthere are some promising aspectsabout the program to attract womenfaculty and minority faculty mem-bers."

however, "MIT is viewed generallyas doing very well in this regard,"Colbert said, with "quite a numberof effective outreach programs."

Colbert observed that in thetrend of constant representation ingraduate enrollment, there has beena moderate increase in AfricanAmerican students in the past year.The study is due to be released inupcoming weeks, he added.

This change is mainly the resultof a concerted effort by Colbert andMargaret D. Tyler, assistant dean ofthe graduate school for recruitment,an effort which "certainly has paidoff," according to Colbert.

"It seems to me that MIT is mak-ing an effort to recruit more blackstudents to get higher degrees," saidAndrew C. Humphrey G, presidentof the Black Graduate Student

King, from Page 1 gram has "been a very importantevent for the last 20 years," and forthe 20th anniversary "it would beappropriate to have someone of[Coretta Scott King's] stature andstanding in the community tocome," Feld said.

"MIT deserves a lot of credit formaking it an official holiday beforeit became a national holiday," said

Clarence G. Williams, special assis-tant to the president and assistantequal opportunity officer, whodeveloped and led the event for thefirst 14 years. Martin Luther KingJr. Day became a national holiday in1986.

"I think that probably the thingthat stands out in my mind" is thatthe top MIT administration at thetime of the program's inception'played a major role and moved tomake it an official holiday beforeany other universities or colleges inthe state of Massachusetts,"Williams said.

"We have had over the last threeyears very, very good nationalspeakers," Osgood said. "I think theInstitute will continue to try tosecure a person of a national promi-nence in the future."

Past speakers at the annual pro-gram have spoken on "veryprovocative themes," Osgood said.Last year, Rev. William H. Gray III,president and CEO of the UnitedNegro College Fund, delivered thelecture. In 1992, Benjamin Hooks,executive director of the NationalAssociation for the Advancement ofColored People, spoke at the pro-gram.

Roundup, from Page 15 national rankings in singles. In theprevious fa!! season, Muelhoeferand Walpole had won the 1992Rolex National Small College Divi-sion III Doubles Championships.

The graduation of Bhatia andWalpole gave the team a new lookin the Fall portion of the 1993-94season, as two freshmen occupiedthe bottom two starting positions tofill the void left by the top two play-ers. Things did not look bright earlyon, when the Engineers were blownout by Division I opponents BostonCollege and Boston University.However, the team managed to winall of its matches against DivisionIII competition, defeating BabsonCollege and Clark University, to fin-ish the fall season at 2-2.

The highlight of the fall seasonwas the Rolex New EnglandRegional Small College TennisChampionship, held at MIT, whereMuelhoefer ancd 1ic hk Tsai '94 madea miraculous comeback victory inthe finals against a team from theUS Coast Guard Academy. As aresult, the duo earned a trip to theRolex National Small College Ten-nis Championships. It was a returntrip for Muelhoefer, who he won histhird consecutive title in the region-al tournament, with three differentpartners. He also managed to reachthe semifinals of the singles tourna-ment after coming close to elimina-tion twice in the earlier rounds.Unfortunately, Muelhoefer andTsai, who had come into the nation-al tournament with high expecta-tions, were eliminated in the first

round. However. they were able tosalvage a seventh place finish,which placed them currently rankedninth in Division III in doubles. Theteam is presently ranked 25th in thenation among Division III schools.

In terms of competitive success,1993 was the best year ever for theteam, according to coach CandyRoyer. A team qualification to theNCAA Division III ChampionshipTournament earned by a virtue of a14-5 record was the unquestionedhighlight of the year for the:o.men's tennis team. The team hadnever before qualified for theNCAA's and the 14 wins represent-ed a tie for the highest win total in asingle season for women's tennis.

In the fall, the team got off to- aquick start, winning its first eightmatches. Unfortunately, back toback New England Women's 8 con-ference losses to Smith Collegeended the hopes of an unbeaten sea-son. However, revenge was s-wcet 1n

College of St. Thomas (6-3), beforedefeating Smith College, to finishthe season ranked 1 1th in the nation.

Individual players in the nationalrankings at the end of the '92-'93were Frederica Turner '95 at num-ber 34 in singles, and Turner andTan were the 22nd ranked DivisionIII doubles team. The squad chosenot to select a most valuable player.

The fall campaign of the 93-94season went quite well for the team,with a ninth-place finish at the NewEngland's, and a third place finishin the NEW 8 Conference. The teamcompeted in the New England tour-nament without the services of itsnumber one singles player, Frederi-ca Turner '95, who is currentlyranked ninth in the East. The team'spost-seasons hopes were derailedwith a 4-3 loss to eventual champi-on Brandeis University in the NEW8 tournament.

Cup, a series of meets between thebest track teams in the New Englandto determine the best "dual meetteam." MIT track was undefeatedgoing into the last meet as wasWi liamrs College. Williams provedto be a little too strong, but MIT fin-ished the regular season with arespectable 11-I record. Champi-onships were again a strong point asthe Engineers finished 6th in theNational Championships due to a2nd place finish by Matt Robinson'94 in the pole vault with a new var-sity record of 16' 3 1/2" and a 3rdplace by Mike Piepergerdes '92 inthe 1,500-meter run.

Men's Outdoor Track andField

Captains: Jay Chiang '94, DanCorcoran '94

MVP: Mike Piepegerdes '93Record: 6-1As the track team headed oult-

doors they took their aspirationswith them. Because of a lack ofsprinters and quarter-milers theEngineers did not expect to do aswell as they did Indoors. Hard workand great competitiveness provedthat expectation incorrect. The regu-lar season was an average 6 and 1,but was highlighted by a very inspi-rational victory over Division IIopponent Springfield. The team set20 personal bests in that meet. TheChampionships saw a less talentedteam defeat many top teams in theNew England Division III Champi-onships for a third place finish, nar-rowly missing second place. At theNational Championships MIT con-tinued its succesful ways. MikePiepergerdes ran very well in win-ning his trials in the 1,500-meter,but had some complications due tograduation. Mike fnew back" u. II MlTright after his trials and flew back toClevland immediately after gradua-tion because his final was 1 1/2 daysafter his trial. This did not seem toaffect Mike as he ran a perfect raceto finish second to the defendingnational champion in a schoolrecord of 3:50.36.

Matt Robinson showed remark-able courage by vaulting wellenough to make the finals in thepole vault despite a very badlysprained ankle. He actually limpeddown the runway before vaulting,and considering vaulting's deper.-dence on speed, his accomplish-ments were remarkable. In thefinals they changed the pit aroundbecause of a change in wind direc-tion, thus delaying the start of theevent by an hour. By this timeMatt's ankle was cold and evenmore swollen, leaving him unable toget off the ground.

Four-year letter winner: ManishBhatia '93

Record: 8-7 (Combined seasons)The team started out its spring

season quite well, but ended up withdisappointing results. During thespring campaign, the Engineers hadlost only one match against DivisionIII schools until the final two dualmeets, with crushing losses at thehands of Williams College (6-3),and Amherst College (5-4). As aresult, the team was denied its thirdstraight trip to the NCAA DivisionIII Championships, and finishedranked 19th in the nation in Divi-sion II, lower than in past years.

However, some members of theteam turned out some remarkableindividual performances. Walpolebecame the first MIT tennis playerto be named an All-America in bothsingles and doubles. He and Muel-hoefer, the team's top doubles pair,were for most of the season, at thetop of the national rankings, andgained an entry to the individualtournament of the NCAA Champi-onships. Bhatia, who never playedlower than Number 2 singles in hiscareer at MIT, qualified for the sin-gles tournament, along with Wal-pole. Muelhoefer and Walpolereached the semifinals of theNCAA's, losing a close two-setterto the eventual champions, fromClaremont College. The duo fin-ished the season ranked fourth inDivision III, and Walpole (22nd)and Bhatia (49th), both attained

Record: 4-0A perfect 4-0 record which came

as a result of wins in two triangularmeets gave the women's track andfield team a very strong showing fora second year varsity program. TheEngineers took a tight meet overWorcester and Rensselaer Polytech-nic Institutes and followed that witha win over Bentley College andBrandeis University.

Invitational and championshipmeets followed, and the inexperi-enced Engineers proved to be talent-ed beyond their years. At the NewEngland Division III Champi-onships the team finished I Ith outof 30 teams. In the weight events,Kristin Ratliffl' 95 and Jcl.. Bcyl-

ing season does not necessarilymean that it was not a successfulone. This was the case for awomen's swimming team, whocompleted the 92-93 season with a3-5 record. Even so, nine swimmersand one diver earned a trip to Wes-leyan University for the New Eng-land Swimming and Diving Cham-pionships. They returned with an1 Ith place finish as a team, among afield of 31.

Karen Pfautz proved herselfworthy of being voted most valu-able player by taking a third in the100-yard butterfly, and a second inthe 50-yard butterfly, in the meet.Although she was edged in the latterevent, she swam well enough toqualify for the national champi-onships. Unfortunately, injuries pre-vented her from competing in thenational event.

At the meet, two relay teamsplaced in the top eight. The teamthat swam the 200-yard freestylerelay team consisted of Pfautz,Holly Goo '95, Miranda Fan '95,and Christine Harada '94. Pfautz,Goo, Fan, and Clara Yang '94 madeup the 400-freestyle relay team.Many of the swimmers who com-peted in the meet posted personalbest times.

Off the springboards, DebbieGustafson '95 performed well in herfirst New Englands. She placed fifthin the 3-meter competition, and I I thoff the l-meter board. Along withmany teano members, she would

-return the next year to do somemore damage.

Despite posting a 0-3 record indual meets during the first semesterof the 1993-94, the Engineers stillfeatured some impressive individualperformances. Gustafson was againa force to be reckoned with in div-ing, as she routinely won both thecompulsory and optional rounds of1-meter springboard competition.

about the success of MIT squash.The Engineers had gone up againstsome of the finest competition in thenation, and ended up ranked 14thnationally. The team's jump from20th of the previous season, allowedit to earn the Barnaby Award, givento the most improved team.

Other accomplishments includedhaving the second player in Institutehistory to be named All-America insquash, as number one player MattTrevithick G was named to the sec-ond team. Another feat of the Engi-neers was a 6-3 victory-over TuftsUniversity, its first win over theJumbos in 15 years.

Things did not look too good atthe outset of the 1993-94 seasonwhen the Engineers were soundlybeaten, 9-0, by the US Naval Acad-emy, at home. However thingsimproved for MIT, which ended1993 with a 9-0 win over ColbyCollege, to end up with a 3-2record.

MVP: MeadeFour-year letter winners: Bandy,

season was a foursome breakingtwo New England Records. Theteam of Jim Bandy '93, ChadGunnlaugsson '93, Brian Meade'93, and Bob Rockwell '93 accom-plished the feats in the 400-yardfreestyle and 800-yard freestylerelays. In the same events, they fin-ished eighth and sixth, respectively,in the NCAA Division III Champi-onships.

For both the men's and women'sswimming teams, the fall portion ofthe season is a time of rigorousworkouts, in preparation for thenumerous competitions in thespring. The team was 1-1 in dualmeets; after easily defeating SalemState College, the Engineers had atougher time against the CoastGuard Academy. Coach JohnBenedick attributed the result partlyto not being allowed enough pooltime to practice, due to variousevents that interfered with theschedule. However, the team man-aged to rebound and crush competi-tion from Colby College and Uni-versity of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, in the UMass-Dart-

In hismatch, he had run up leads of 9-0and 13-1. In the final game, hebroke a 4-4 deadlock by winning 11points in a row.

Other highlights included superbperformances from the top two play-ers, Irfan Chaudhry '96 and captainSafroadu Yeboah-Amankwah G.Chaudhry won the first game, 15-8,but then ran into some trouble in the

second game, as his opponent forceda 13-13 tiebreaker. Chaudhry endedup winning the game, 18-14, thencruised through the final game, win-ning with a score 15-7. Yeboah-Amankwah had an easier time, win-ning with scores of 15-3, 15-6, and15-10. In a match that was neverclose, he had leads of 8-0 in the firstgame, and 8-1 in the second. Inter-estingly, both Chaudhry andYeboah-Amankwah were recoveringfrom knee injuries, which left coachJeff Hamilton doubtful about evenhaving them play in the match.

At the sixth position, Amit Desai

'94 played while recovering from aflu, and had to struggle beforepulling out the match, which includ-ed two tie-breakers. Desai started offquickly by capturing the first game,15-4. His opponent then fought backto win 17-15. Desai soon retaliatedby taking the third, 15-7, causing hisopponent to take a break betweenthe third and fourth games. Thebreak gave Desai a chance to recov-er from a visible state of exhaustion.In the last game, he fought valiantly,and was able to chase almost everyball down. His opponent's greatestefforts seemed to return the ball

right to him. Desai forced enougherrors late in the game to win the tiebreaker, and the match, 15-4, 15-17,15-7, and 18-15.

The team will play almost everydual meet at home this month,before heading to the National Inter-collegiate Squash Racquets Associ-ation Team and Individual Champi-onships at Yale University. The nextfew matches will be a chance for theEngineers to earn a higher seedingin the team competition there. Theywill play this afternoon againstTufts University, and then nextweek against Harvard University.

The squash team broke a three-game losing streak Thursday, byshutting out Babson College, 9-0, atthe DuPont Gymnasium. The teamearned its first win in 1994 andimproved its record for the season to4-5, overall.

Each of the MIT players per-formed well, limiting their oppo-nents to single-digit scoring in atleast one game of every individualmatch, and losing only one game inall nine matches. John de Souza Gat fifth singles gave up the least

ice hockey team in the 1992-93 sea-son, as it outscored opponents 125-76, and earned a record of 12-6-1for the season. Rob Silva '93 hadthe most notable performance, lead-ing the New England CollegiateClub Hockey Association (NEC-CHA) in scoring with 14 goals and15 assists.

When the Engineers returned tothe ice to begin the second semesterof the season, they lost four of theirfirst six games, but then went on tofive games in a row. Their effortspropelled them into the NECCHAChampionships. Unfortunately,Springfield College shattered titlehopes of the Engineers by defeatingthem 6-4 in the first round.

The first half of the 1993-94 sea-son seemed to be a frustrating onefor the Engineers as they went fivegames before capturing a win,which came against Worcester Poly-technic Institute, 5-2. The teamopened the season at home againstFranklin Pierce College, in a gamethat featured a capacity crowd, andhard-hitting excitement. Unfortu-nately, MIT fell in that game 2-4.Ties were a major source of frustra-tion, as the Engineers had three ofthe next four games. The weekbefore final exams, the pucksters

Competitionincluded Division I schools such asthe University of Vermont, YaleUniversity, and Brown University.The Engineers consistently scoredbetween 140 and 150 at each meet,but were no match for their strongeropponents.

Julie Lyren '93 had the best indi-vidual season in the history of MITwomen's gymnastics. She setrecords in the all-around and bal-ance beam, and tied school marks inthe vault and floor exercise. Herperformance made her the first MITwoman to qualify for the USAGymnastics Division II-III Champi-onships. At the competition, shewas named a USA GymnasticsScholar Athlete.
