By Danifl NathanThe Committee on Academic

Performance intends to uphold anew policy requiring that a stu-dent must finish work for whichhe has received an Incompletebefore the end of the fifth weekof the next term unless specialpermission is obtained.

The new student academicregulations and working policiesof the CAP are set forth in the"Supplement to Guide forUndergraduates and FacultyCounselors.

Included among the new setof policies are rules concerningthe grade of I, or Incomplete.According to the Supplement,"it is to be used only for sub-jects for which a minor portionof the work required has notbeen completed, and a passinggrade is to be expected when thework is completed."

The new rule asserts that "ifthe work is not completed be-fore the end of the fifth week of

Severe restriction - of photo-copying would disrupt thepresent free flow of infomationin education, industry and re-search, and would "probably bethe biggest handicap that couldpossibly -happen," according toPeter R. Scott, head of MIT'sMicroreproduction Laboratory(MicroLab).

The law holds implicationsspecifically for MIT's enormousduplicating services, which costthe Institute some $750,000 lastyear while churning out 28 mil-lion duplicated pages. 'Nobodyknows how much of this outputis duplication of copyrightedmaterials, although Special Assis-tant to the Provost LouisMenand guesses that most facul-ty copying involves copyrightedmaterials since "most faculty areindifferent to the question ofcopyright."

On the other hand, GeneralCounsel for Patents and Copy-rights Arthur A. Smith Jr. thinksthat there is "very little un-authorized copying at MIT," andsaid that the Institute at presentis not "concerned with the prob-lem" because anything cshouldhappen to the Senate-approvedbill while it is in the House ofRepresentatives. While MIT "isaware that there could be someproblem," Smith feels that thepresent copying within the Insti-tute should fall within the 'fairuse' doctrine.

Smith noted, however, thatdespite attempts to clarify "fairuse." the bill's wording orl the

The only excep-tions to the new rule are thosecases in which laboratory facili-ties are not constantly available.

In the past, despite rules tothe contrary, incompletes werefreely given and seldom com-pleted within the next academicterm.

In order to allow for adjust-ment to this new policy, thisacademic year will be a period ofgrace for Incompletes recordedin the spring term of 1975 orearlier. Graduating seniors, how-ever, will have to submit a peti-tion with the incomplete coursesintended to be completed fordegree requirements.

-The basic function of theCAP, a faculty committee whichconsists of three students, sevenfaculty members, and is headedby Dean Hill, is to review under-graduate records, give out warn-ings concerning poor academicperformance, and evaluatestudent petitions, all in coopera-tion with the MIT faculty.

According to Jane Dickson,

By Mike McNameeMIT has met most of its

Affirmative Action goals for hir-ing women in the last two years,but, hiring of minority facultyand staff has lagged behind thegoals set by the Institute in1973.

The July, 1975, report onMIT's Affirmative Action plan,submitted by Chancellor Paul E.Gray '54 to the Department ofHealth, Education, and Welfare,showed that overall employmentof women rose by 7 percentbetween December, 1973, andJuly, 1975, while employmentof minorities increased 11 per-cent and total black employ-ment increased 9 percent.

But the Institute fell short ofits goals for 1975 in hiring ofblack faculty - 18 employed ofa goal of 31; women faculty -54 employed of a goal of 69;

A bill it Congress to restrict photocopying of copyrighted materials has caused concern at MIT, whereover 28 million copies of copyrighted and uncopyrighted materials is made annually.

,'rule setthe CAP's Administrative Assis-tant, the new rule was made sothat the Committee could have aworking policy which could beuniformly enforced. In previousyears, many students took ad-vantage of the Committee'sleniency by letting incompletesstand for periods up to threeyears and then completing therequirements. With the new rul-ing, the CAP is forcing the stu-dents to complete their workwithin a prescribed period oftime.

Because of limited funds, theSupplement was printed thisyear instead of a revised edi-tion of the complete Guide as inprevious years.

Other changes which weremade by the CAP, or voted bythe faculty, include:I) The form for carrying a re-duced load must be submitted tothe Registrar's Office before theend of the fifth week of theterm or a $25 charge is made tothe student..2) An undergraduate may nottake a total of two electivespass-fail in the third and fourthyears.3) The deadline for addingcourses has been moved to theend of the fifth week of theterm, while the drop date is nowthe third to last week of theterm.

and black non-faculty staff - 69employed out of a goal of 119.MIT's worst performance was inhiring of minority office/clericalworkers, where only 216 personswere employed out of a goal of279 - 63 percent below goal.

"We have effectively met ouroverall goals for July, 1975, forthe appointment (or promotion)of women to faculty and staffpositions," Gray said in a letterto the Office of Civil Rights ofHEW. "Further, we judge ourprogress to be good in the re-cruitment of minorities into ouroffice/clerical and service o-ccupations.

"On the other hand," Graycontinued, "we are disappointedthat we are unable to approachmore closely our goals for blackfaculty and staff despite whatwe believe are serious efforts ingood faith to search for candi-dates for faculty and staff posi-tionrs."

"While saying she was"happy" with the overall pro-gress in hiring of women, SpecialAssistant to the President andChancellor Mary Potter Rowetold The Tech she felt therewere still "serious shortfalls."

"The shortfall for women fac-ulty is about 15, and I feel that'stoo high," Rowe said. "Andwe're not doing at all well with

Ali of the approximately 300dormline telephones for NewHouse, MIT's newest West Cam-pus dormitory, have been instal-led, and most of them are work-ing, according to Dennis Baron,Technical Assistant to the Direc-tor of Telecommunications. ' Butabout 15 phones are known tobe out of-service, and Baron saidhe suspects that many more arenot working.

"Last week, we thought wehad all of them fixed and work-ing," Baron explained. "But wefound that wiring for a block ofabout 50 was fouled up, and sowe think that many phonesaren't working but haven't beenreported yet."'

Pinball is an exacting science. With precision,the plunger is drawn back, slowly released, andzap! The ball is rocketing off the rubberbumpers, the lights are flashing, and the bellsare ringing.

At first, the cacophony that results raspsagainst your nerves. It makes for fine headachematerial. In time, however, the din becomessoothing, almost hypnotic.

No matter how soothing the effect is onnon-players, though, it is positively electrifyingfor enthusiasts.

The noises pique the favor that rages withinardent participants. Pinball can be terriblyaddictive. In moderation, it provides for a fineway to socialize. But in excess, it can havemany harmful effects.

Another pinball enthusiast was heard to say,"If I wasn't here tonight, I'd probably be hometooling, and ruining rmyeyes."

"Now," he said, "I'm down here ruining myeyes, and my ears too."

By Peter G. BalbusThe MIT community features individuals

who spend large amounts of time acquiring anddeveloping skills which enable them to flashlights, activate bells, and achieve high scores.No, these people are not engineers or tech-nicians, but pinball players.

Pinball enjoys widespread popularity at MIT.In addition to the. thirteen machines in thieStudent Center, there are two in WalkerMemorial. Between the eight Institute housesthere are seven machines. Some fraternitieseven possess their own private pinball machines;

Veteran pinball players see their efforts asfurther refinements to the state-of-the-art ofpinball playing. One MIT student is creditedwith playing pinball continuously for nearlyfive hours. It cost him 25 cents. Such feats-prompted one non-player to remarlck, "I've got afriend like that . . . he's crazy!"

Well, maybe not crazy, but pinball en-thusiasts are decidedly dedicated. A manage-menrt science student carrying a 72-credit loadsaid, "H always try to get an hour or two ofpinball a day no matter how pressed for time Iam. I find pinball to be far more satisfying thanthe courses I'm taking."

But -besides the notion that pinball is tiuly

satisfying, what is it that motivates-'the MITpinball wizards to collectively part with over$25,000 annually to play the silver ball?

An unidentified pinball enthusiast remarked:"It's the psych factor. With pinball, you've gota good chance to beat the machine; withcomputers, forget it. Pinball gives you therespect computers take away .... ."

An observer agreed, "I derive great pleasure_watching the machine lose." Another quippedthat "it's a great way to relieve a lot of yourtension. It's good for the soul."

When one veteran pinball wizard was askedthe best way fo win at pinball, he grinned andsaid,- "the most efficent way is to thrash themachine."

The only -frustrating thing about playing thepinball is having your ego crushed by a brightorange TILT in the middle of the game.

By Peter PeckarskySeventy-six United States

Senators are finding themselvessandwiched between a rock anda hard place. Several monthsago, these solons sent a letter toPresident Ford recommendingcontinued American militarysupport to the state 6f Israel.That sentiment was merely anexperession of long-standingAmerican foreign policy in theMiddle East. The senators nodoubt envisioned the continuedprovision of conventional ord-nance - e.g., non-nuclearbombs, bullets, fighter planes,and anti-aircraft missiles.

When Secretary of StateHenry A. Kissinger returnedfrom signing the new Egyptian-Israeli accords early this month,the senators were for the mostpart pleased that the squeezehad been taken off an old ally.Kissinger held a press conferencein which he said in essence thatCongress would be fully in-formed of all details of theaccords as well as any secretunderstandings, buat that therewas a point beyond which hewould not go in revealing thesubstance of the negotiations toCongress. In the finest Nixontradition, he took back with hisright hand what he gave with hisleft.

As far as the public knew, theUS commitment to Israel in theaccords was to supply conven-tional ordnance and to guaranteethe Israelis one year's oil supplyand the storage facilities there-for. Then Jack Anderson wentto work.

It soon was revealed thatKissinger, without consultingDefense Department civilian ormilitary leaders, had promised to"view with extreme favor" anIsraeli request for F- 16 fighers -which are not yet operational-inour forces - and Pershing mis-siles capable of carrying nuclearwarhe a ds some -450 miles.Kissinger was caught red-handeddissembling again; he had prom-ised full disclosure and had notprovided it. Hugh Scott R-Pa.,and Mike Mansfield, 3D-Mont..,the Republican and Democraticleaders in the upper chamber,had not been informed of thePershing commitment. It re-mains to be seen whether theCongressional committees whichshould have been informed ofthe weapons promises wereapprised of them by the StateDepartment.

All Pershing missiles pro-duced so far have been built tocarry a nuclear warhead. IsraeliDefense Minister Shimon Peres,in Washington to confer on new

Israeli weapons requests, prom-ised that Israel would not armthe missiles with nuclear tips. Ifthe Israelis do, in fact, 'receivePershings, which seems doubtful,the- missiles will be produced inthe US and designed to carryconventional explosives.

However, the Israelis can al-ways modify the warhead sec-tion to enable the Pershing tocarry a nuclear package.-Further,reports -indicate that the Per-shing's guidance section is tooinaccurate to be used effectivelywith anything but a nuclear tip.Thus, if Secretary Kissinger hashis way, one price of the latestMideast agreement, which wasintended to stabilize the region,-will be that the US will- intro-duce a 'terribly destabilizingweapon into the Israeli order ofbattle.

The Boston Globe recentiyreported that the Israelis havenuclear weapons in their arsenal.While the range of F-4 figher-bombers currently in the IsraeliAir Force at least equals thePershing's range, and thus theIsraelis could deliver nuclearbombs with F-4's, effective anti-aircraft systems on both sides ofthe Arab-Israeli conflict wouldmake that task difficult, as wasdemonstrated during the firstdays of the 1973 war. No na-tion, not even the US or theUSSR, has an effective anti-ballistic missile defense.

The Israelis want 'the Per-shings to deter their neighborsfrom an attack. The neighborswill be inclined to conclude thatthe Pershings will be nuclear-tipped notwithstanding Peres'assurances. Israeli acquisition oflong-range missiles would be apowerful incentive for Isarel'senemies to develop or procuretheir own atomic weapons anddelivery. systems as a counter-deterrent. The relative political.instability of the nations· sur-rounding and opposing Israelmeans there is a greater likeli-hood of unauthorized use ofsuch weapons in these countriesthan 'there is in Israel.

The United States shouldreconsider any moves whichincrease the availability, or causegreater incentive for acquisition,o f nuclear - weapon deliverysystems in -a region which hassuffered four wars in the last 27years.

By Michael McNameeThe graffitti spots on campus

this week amre reflecting the latestnews. One set of wall scribblinrgssaid: "Ford 2, Women 0; Ford2, California O; Secret Service 1,Marines 1, Radicals 0." Anotherset suggested what happened toPatty Hearst during those weeksshe was locked up in a closet bythe Symbionese LiberationArmy. And a third batch ofscribblings cheered on Lynette"Squeaky" Fromme; rightrunder"'Free Paul Ross," -it said,. 'FreeSqueaky and Charlie." Right un-der that, it said, "Who wouldpay for them?"

Opinion is divided on wheth-er or not graffiti-represents the-true concerns of a society. Butmost people assume that themass communications- mediadoes reflect, in some sort ofday-to-day fashion, what is im-portant to the goings and con.ings of the affairs of the world.Why else would they put theNew York Times in time cap-sules - to prove that twentieth-century man worships cheapgray paper?

-Unfortunately, if anyoneopening up a time capsule in theyear 2100 finds a set of news-papers from Wednesday, Sept.24 or a videotape of the televi-sion news for Tuesday, Sept. 23,1975, he would have to cbn-elude that the most importantthings in America that day werethe momentary veneration ofthree strange radical females ofthe species. Patty Hearst wastelling the court in San Fran-cisco'that she had been brain-washed; Squeaky Fromme wasgetting permission to serve as herown counsel. when she goes ontrial for trying to shoot Presi-dent Ford; and Sara Jane Moorewls making headlines as theFBI-informa n t-turned-radicalwho made California's secondtry at shooting the President.

The person opening the timecapsule would also be confront-ed with strong signs of thecontinuing worship of the beingcalled "President," signs which

-would be particularly strong onthe editorial pages, where thesentiments would be mingledwith love/hate of the handgun,another animal Americans bothvenerate and fear.

All in all, Tuesday was what anews-wire editor on any Ohionewspaper mighi 'refer to as a"simply fantastic news day."The problem. with a good newsday is that it forces so manychoices, so many decisions andthe pieces of news that lose inthe choices are usually -the-

dle-of-the-road-ism or status-'quo-ism''All those are importantconsiderations, even if they aresometimes based on rather pobroly-documented charges. But thebiggest problem of the Americannews media is - they are trivial.

MIT Political Science Lec-turer Edwin Diamond, writing inthe current issue of ColumbiaJournalrnm Review points out'that "the current celebrificationof practically .everyone" hasreached epidemic proportions inthis country. Public leaders, ar-tists, scientists, spokespersonsfor serious movements - all be-

'come celebrities for a moment-,and then fade off the screen,'back into the morass as "lastweek's topic."

What's the result? "'Finally, ascomplex stories are reduced topersonality stories," Diamondwrote, "world events and thenews itself becomes trivalized."The cheap personality story -gossip is easier to find, easier toreport, easier to write about,easier to read and digest -isgiving hard competition to thehard-to-report, write, edit andunderstand news of what's reallyhappening in the world..

Patty, Squeaky, aind Sara aregood "copy" - colorful female'suspects in colorful cuimes. Butare they important? The deci-sions of ediftors all over thecountry apparently was yes -while the man in 21 00 will haveto wonder about the priorities ofa society that lets its news organ-

-izations sink to -the level. ofgraffitti.

Uncle Walter - as the realfans of the Managing Editor ofCBS Evening News call him devoted the first 10 minutes ofhis half-hour newscast Tuesdaynight to Squeaky, Patty andSara. Near the end, when hereads off a litany of 30-secondbriefs of "less consequential"news, he managed to tell us thatthe-_ House of Representativeswas preparing a new oil-pricingpla n which differs in almostevery way from that of PresidentFord. He might have mentionedthat the Soviet Union was callingfor a return to the Geneva talkson the Middle East, or that- NewYork's juniot. Senator was repu-diating New York's largest city,or' that the Shah of Iran wasworking on developing a for-

-eign-aid program for under°developed nations. He mighthave, but none of those itemsgot anywhere near the- "play" ormention that Patty, Squeaky,and Sara drew.

Television news was not alonein the blame. The New YorkTimes had all--those items on itsfront page, but half the page wasdevoted to Sara and Patty andSqueaky obviously-ranked highon the editors' lists. The BostonGlobe buried the oil story in theEconomy section, and failed, asfar as I could find, to play theother stories anywhere.

The problem of the newsmedia in the United States is notbias; not censorship; not controlby the Establishmnent; not liber-alness or conservativism or mid-

To the Editor:Upon first reading your Sept.

23 article on the4atte that so,often befalls the recommendas.tions of academic commissions, 1thought you had hit upon amethod we could suggest tofuture chairmen to ensure thattheir groups would not studyinva-n:

Don't worry too much aboutwhat's in your committee's'Jeport. Just be sure it men-tions a couple of the impor-tant educational innovationsgoing on in your institutionand then get your friend thenewspaper editor to attributethem to the work of yourcommnittee. This will guaran-itee your success even beforeyou -start. The only thingyou'll have to do is figure outhow to keep a muzzle on thepeople who actually brought

about. But that should beeasy, if you use all the time ·

you save on report writing.It would be nice to be able to

say that UROP and the Fresh-man Seminars at MIT grew outof the recommendations of'theCommission on MIT Education.But; tOo many people know itisn't so. They were thrivingwhen the Commission started.The Rogers Task Force, whichgrew out of the Commission, didperhaps give them a boost whenit placed strong emphasis on theseminar-research experience edu-cation at MIT, but their pointwas not that we needed suchactivities but that the existingones should be encouraged andexpanded.

terms of capacity, it is this inde-pendent copying sector whichmay be affected most by anycost increase imposed by. theprcrposed law. .

' While Graphic Arts andMicrol.-ab" run a largely break-even business requiring onlysmall subsidies (their rentingcosts covered in their own bud-gets and are not included in thecost figures quoted above) theindependent photocopying facil-ities are heavily subsidized bydepartmental budgets.

Several departments dropped-their photocopying contractsafter a budget freeze was im-posed three -years ago, andCusick said-that any extra pho-tocopying costs "would have aneffect" on the remaining ninedepartments' retention of theirown machines.

While the departments claimthat running their own machinesis less expensive than usingGraphic Arts, Cusick thinks thatthese departments are not in-cluding the -full labor cost ofusing their own facililties. Whilethere is no question that the

-(Continued from page I) -al 1.1 million "rapid-prints" aremade on the ten five-cent.SCMmachines and one ten centXerox that are open to thepublic.

How -much of MicroLab'sproduct concerns copyrighted.material is anybody's guess, andthe same is true of Graphic Artswhich does ten times more aca-demic copying. According toVernon Raine, Assistant Direc-tor of Graphic Arts, most aca-demic copying handled byGraphic Arts is done at twomajor and two minor copycen-ters which churn out a total ofroughly 9 million copies per yearthrough xerographic processesand an additional 10.6 millionmore on offset-type systems.

Graphic Arts does a totalbusiness of $500,000 per year.While no statistics exist on howmany duplicates are made fromcopyrighted material, the fourcopy center supervisors estimatethat 15 percent of their outputconcerns books, and another25-35 percent concerns periodi-cals.

In addition to Graphic Artsand MicroLab, nine departmentsmaintain their own photocopy-ing machines, each of which canchurn out 30,000 copies over-night, according to-Vice-Presi-dent for Fiscal Relations Paul V.Cusick. These departments andcenters- Chemical Engineering,Biology, Nutrition and Food Sci;ence, Earth and Planetary Sci-ence, Research Lab for Electron-ics, the Center for Material Sci-ence and Engineering, ElectricalEngineering, and the Center forInternational Studies rent theirown machines to avoid waitingin line at Graphic Arts.

The rental of machines fromXerox by these departments isthe largest item in the $750,000total photocopying budget -contracts with Xerox for rent-ing, maintenance, and occasionalpurchase ran to $592,000 lastyear, with arn additional $70,000going to SCM, IBM, and 3M. In

Beyond the problem of pho-tocopying, MIT Library person-nel see the bill as attackinglibraries in general. Scott ofMicroLab said that most ad-vanced technology explored bylibraries, such as microfiche andcomputer-, storage of book-ab-stracts and article-summaries, areinfringement of copyright. Scottsaid he had recommended topublishers years ,ago_ that thepublishing industry adopt thesenew methods for itself, 6ut in-stead the publishers have chosento "entrench and hope for astrict enforcement of the copy-right statute."'

By Bob Nilsson(Bob Nilsson '76 is a member

of the Varsity Golf ream.)The MIT golfers burned up

the course to upset the two NewEngland golfing powers ofBentley and Bost6n College intheir second match of the sea-son. After a weak opening matchlast week the Engineers cameback to take the home openerwith four of its six scores in the70 's.

The team defeated BostonCollege in the match play com-petition 4-2 with victories byMark Swenson '78, Bob'Kneeland '77, and Mark Hughes'79. and ties from. Captain PeteWolczanski '76. and Leo Bonnell'77. Bentley was downed 3½1-2/on wins by Swenson, Bonnell,and Mike Varral '79, and a tiefrom Wolczanski. Returningsophomore Swenson led theteam with a round of 77 fol-lowed by Wolczanski, Kneeland,and Varral with 79's. The lowscore of the day was shot byBentley's number three manJohn Janangelo, who carded athree under par 69. The matchrepresented one of MIT's finestshowings as a group and shouldstart the golfers toward anotherwinning season.

The season opened on theroad last week with defeats toSt. Anselm's and PlymouthState. The team bowed in themedal play competition byscores of 441 for MIT, 406 forSt. Anselms and 436 for Ply-mouth State. These scores repre-sent the low five medal scores ofthe seven golfers. The team'srecord now stands at 2-2.

By Chris Donnelly(Chris Donnelly '77 is a mem-

ber of the men's sailing team.)Last weekend the MIT wom-

en sailors took five of the topten places in the New EnglandSingle-Handed Championshipson the Charles River. Saturday,the men's varsity qualified forthe McMillain Cup and split in athree crew team race regatta atHarvard.

Thirty-six women raced TechDinghies in the two day Single-Handed Championships. The topeighteen skippers in Saturday'squalifying races competed onSunday in the finals.

Allana Connors '"8 finishedsecond overall in the nine raceseries, only two points behindSally Newman of Wellesley Col-lege.

The men travelled to CoastGuard last Saturday to sail in aqualifying round for the eastcoast intercollegiate yawl cham-pionship, the McMillian Cup.The racing in the forty-fourboats turned out to be a matchrace against BU when one schoolfailed to arrive.

The MIT boat, helmed byPaul Erb '76 with crews LarryDubois '76, John Anderson '76,George Todd '76, Bill Critch '77,Steve Ryan '77, Chris Donnelly'77. and Wally Corwin "78, lostthe opening race. With the pres-sure on, MIT won the second

For the first time the teamhad to make cuts due to a recordturnout of players and limita-tions placed on the team size bythe MIT home golf dourse, BraeBurn Country Club. Joining thereturning lettermen are four verycapable freshmen.. Mark Hugheshas already played vwell in-bothmatches and Mike Varral andLes Suna have played in toneeach. Freshman John Lowellwould have played in the BC andBentley match had either teambrought a seventh man. How-ever, due to a misunderstandingof new NCAA rules regardingroster limits both teams arrivedwith onlyisix men.

On the schedule for thegolfers are two regional tourna-ments: the New England Cham-pionship and the ECAC Cham-pionship. The team will beplaying off this weekend to de-ternmine which five go to com-pete in these tournaments.

X-country:'best season ever?By Dave Dobos

With nine of last year's toptwelve runners returning, CoachPete Close's talented MIT crosscountry squad could -ehnjdy itsmost successful season in his-tory.

The optimism' is justified.Five of the record-breaking sixsub 26:00 5-milers' from the1974 team are back. MIT's lar-gest squad ever of 30 men willprovide a great deal of intrateamcompetition as was evidenced inthe time trials last week when

race -to deadlock the best-of-three series.

In very light, fluky winds,MIT came from behind on the

.final upwind leg to win the thirdand deciding race, advancing tothe championship round to besailed next month in Annapolis.

The format for the team racesheld on Saturday at Harvard wasdifferent than a regular regatta.Rather than separate A and Bdivisions, three boats from eachschool sailed against each otherin the same race.

The team of Doug Abramson'77, Chris Berg '77, John Stahr'78, Gary Smith '78, MartyLurie '78, Spahr Webb '78, andElliot Rossen '79 co-skipperedInterclubs (dinghies lighter thanTechs) and Larks.

In their first match againstHarvard, MIT lost two races toone, dropping the final rac-e10-11 Against Yale, however,the sailors won two of threeclose races to even their recordfor the day at 1-I.

The freshmen sailed theirsecond regatta of the season onSunday at Tufts. Sailing Larks,Elliot Rossen with crew TimBallarid finished fourth in A-Divi-sion. In B-Division Eric Greenewith Jordan Kreidberg crewingplaced second, one point shortof first place. Overall the froshplaced fourth in the regatta.

The sailors face a big schedulethis weekend featuring three tro-phy regattas. The men sail in theLane Trophy on Saturday andthe Jack Wood trophy on Sun-day, while the women go for thePresident's Trophy at BU onSunday.

each athlete ran an average of 30seconds faster than his particularposition did last year. There isalso confidence among the mem-bers of the team that this seasoncan be a very good one.

How good is very good?Close, in his third year as coach,is looking to improve last year'sperformance in the-champion-ship meet in which Mfl' placed8th in the Easterns and 15th inthe New Englands and to equalor better the 1974 dual meetrecord of 9-2. If the Engineerthinclads can achieve these two

-goals, then they will be ready forthe NCAA Division Ill Champi-onships at Beoston's FranklinPark on November 15.

Highlights on the dual -meetseason include tomorrow's Engi-neer's Cup with RPI adn WPI atWorcester. MIT is looking toavenge WPI's 1974 upset andbring the trophy back to Cam-bridge for the seventh time inthe past decade. MIT tangleswith New Hampshire, BostonCollege, and Williams in subse-quent Saturday meets. Theschedule's climax is on October25 with Brandeis, Boston Uni-versity, and Bentley. Brandeisdefeated MIT last year and thenwent on to a fourth place perfor-mance in the Nationals.

The squad's big gun is FrankRichardson '77 who in Mayearned All-American honors in

the 3-mile by placing fourth inthe Division III Track Champi-onships. He has lost only onedual meet during his MIT career.Hot on Richardson' heels are4:17 miler -Jeff Baerman '76,and last year's number one fresh-man, Chris Svendsgaayd °78. Thesquad. will rely heavily on theperformances of much improvedJohn Krolewski '77 as those ofSteve Keitfh- '77 and second yearcaptain Courtney McCracken'76. ,

Freshmen Tom Clark andBarry Bayus should contributesignificantly to the varsity cause.Jim Walton '76, Stan- Martin '77,Dave Dobos '77, Al Knauf '78,Jaxk Reeves '77, Frank Kenney'78, Eric Carr '78, Jeff Kaste'78, and Rudy Bellinger '79 willgive tremendous competition forthe remaining spots on the var-sity squad, pushing the leadersto better times.

The JV. team looks muchbetter than its 1974 counterpart.Steve Munoz '77, Steve Kissel'77, Dave McDonough '76, KimEastman '79, Stu Wagner '79,Phil Veatch '79, Mark Schwartz'79, Todd Peltzer '79, CharlesKeilers '79, Kevin Crystal '79,Adonis Neblett '79,. RichardAllen '79, Marv Chartoff '79,and those mentioned above thatdo not make the varsity willassuredly become one. of thebest JV's in New England.

Averbach and Perone have neverlost -an intercollegiate match atan MIT double team.

Returning at No. 1 singlesthis year is Chris Vogdes '78.Vogdes lost a close match 6-4,7-6 (5-4 in the tiebreaker).

The team sports a new headcoach in Gay Kinney. Kimeywas assistant coach last seasonand has taken over the helm thisyear with an opening win.

The team will -play' its nexthome, match October 2 againstTufts.
