Margossian noted that "he hasbeen in serious communicationswith several companies" and thatwith "MIT's excellent insurancetrack record" he expects the 23fraternities to have a new andbetter blanket insurance policy"within the next few weeks."

More will be requiredfrom fraternites

Last Friday, Margossian andEisenmann called a meeting withall of the IFC house mangers todiscuss the insurance situationand to warn the fraternity housesthat more will be demanded fromthem than ever before. The meet-ing was the first time all of theIFC house managers have offi-cially met to discuss the issue ofinsurance with the MIT adminis-tration since Mark Ertel resignedin July.

After an extensive question-and-answer session with thehouse managers concerning theMassachusetts fire safety code,Margossian stated that almost allof the fraternities he visited overIndependent Activities Periodand in February had major fire

accountsASA can consider denying recog-nition to groups only on a caseby case basis. "The ASA clausesfor denying recognition are veryweak," Kantrowitz noted. "Therehave to be serious grounds for agroup to lose recognition."

However according to DeeptoChakrabarty '88, president of theMusical Theatre Guild, this ruledoes not exist. "I spoke to peopleat the ODSA [Office of the Deanfor Student Affairs] and they saidit is not an MIT rule. Rather theysaid it was something the UAcame up with," he said.

Kantrowitz asserted that thisrule exists and its purpose is toenable MIT to seize any fundsthat it feels are being inappropri-ately used by a student activity.

"There have been complaints[from the administration] thatFinboard tends to fund big, inde..pendent organizations," Hen-dricks said. Part of the reasonthis happens is that Finboard justdoes not know how much outsidefunds a particular activity has, he

said. Thim, Sty Pald issiled a fina!sixty-day warning at the end ofFebruary, he added.

St. Paul is primarily a propertyinsurance company and only asmall amount of its business in-volves administering the type ofcasualty insurance demanded byfraternity systems, Eisenmann ex-plained. After new legislation inboth Massachusetts and Cam-bridge complicated the insuranceguidelines for fraternities, St.Paul "felt uncomfortable insur-ing that many independentfraternities," Margossian said.

Margossian, working throughthe Office for the Dean of Stu-dent Affairs, and MIT's insur-ance broker, Fred James, areshopping for a better insurancepolicy. "Several companies havealready shown vigorous interestin insuring the MIT fraternities,"Margossian said.

However, according to Eisen-mann, the search for a good poli-cy will not leave the 23 MIT fra-ternities uninsured for any periodof time. MIT is taking the timeand effort to search for thebest possible long-term policy,Margossian said.

The St. Paul Insurance Corn-pany has announced it will dis-continue its blanket insurancecoverage of 23 MIT fraternitieson April 30, according to StevenP. Margossian '88, consultant tofraternities.

According to Andy M. Eisen-mann '75, senior staff associateof residential and campus activi-ties, St. Paul chose to drop theMIT fraternities because "theysaw no improvement in the firesafety condition of the frats intheir preliminary investigations inFebruary."

Throughout last December andJanuary MIT had been communi-cating with St. Paul. trying tocome to an agreement about in-surance coverage, Margossiansaid. "On January 23, St. Paulgave the 23 MIT fraternityhouses a thirty day warning ofdismissal which they laterretracted," Margossian stated.

However, the insurance com-pany's inspector, Peter Wilcox,was not satisfied with the im-provements made by the fraterni-ty houses in February, Eisenmann

Overloading during second term

Manning said he thought that,by the second term, most stu-dents had completed their transi-tion into MIT. The CFYP con-cluded that second term passifailshould be eliminated, he said, be-cause students "overload" oncoursework in their second term,and because the non-uniform useof hidden grades wasproblematic.

Manning -said --that,- accordingto statistics from the Registrar'sOffice, courseload is highest dur-ing a student's second term. Fig-ures from a 1985 profile of thefreshman year showed that eleven

"really need" second term pass/fail grading, said Beth Leibowtiz'89, who spoke yesterday at anopen forum with the Committeeon the First Year Program.Leibowitz, one of about 15 stu-dents who attended the forum,said she would have left the Insti-tute during her second term ifnot for pass/fail.

Leibowitz's comments came inlight of the CFYP's proposedelimination of second term pass/fail grading, which have ap-peared in a draft of a report thecommittee is preparing for theCommittee on the UndergraduateProgram.

Leibowitz also criticized theCFYP's proposal to create a one-class per term credit/no-creditoption beginning in the secondterm, saying it was "too rigid."She said the proposal should berevised to-allow students to takeseven credit/no-credit courseswith scheduling at their owndiscretion.

Other students questioned thedesirability of spreading the sci-ence core requirements beyondthe freshman year, though nonewere directly opposed to it. Pro-fessor Kenneth Manning, chair ofthe CFYP, said that one of thecommittee's major goals was in-creasing the flexibility of the firstyear - encouraging students todefer science core subjects in or-der to explore other academic

The letter also addressed stu-dent activities that do not receivefunding from Finboard by threat-ening them with loss of their offi-cial recognition from the Associ-ation of Student Activities theyfail to comply.

Loss of recognition from ASAcan result in complete seizure ofall the office and auditorium-space that an activity uses.

However the letter explainedthat this fate could be avoided ifan activity transferred all of itsoutside funds into MIT accounts.

The action was taken by Fin-board in order to gain greater ac-countability for its funding deci-sions and to enforce an old MITrule that had fallen by the way-side in recent years, Hendricksstressed.

Mark Kantrowitz '89, presidentof ASA, agreed with the purposeof the letter but stressed that

By Kaushik BagchiA total of six computers was

stolen from offices and ProjectAthena clusters during springbreak, according to Jeffrey I.Schiller '79, operations managerof Athena. In response, Athenashut down all the clusters onMarch 21 for security upgrades,with a few reopening on March23.

In addition to closing someclusters and restricting hours atothers, Athena is considering in-stalling alarm systems similar tothose used in cars, according atoJames D. Bruce '60, vice-president of Information Sys-tems.

On the first weekend of springUICea, two 3IBM PC/NAT's werestolen from 6-218M. Then, onthe following Monday (3/21),two DEC Vax workstations werestolen from 37-318. The third

IBM AT was stolen from 6-218Mon the same day. On the follow-ing Sunday (3/27), an IBM PC/RT was stolen from 1-124D,Schiller said.

In the past four weeks over$60,000 worth of equipment hasbeen stolen including two Micro-Vaxes and several Apple laserprinters, Bruce said. In all of1987, $160,000 of computers andcomputer accessories were stolen,Bruce noted. Also, there werethree times as many major com-puter thefts in 1987 as in 1986.

Schiller and Bruce believe thattwo distinct groups of thieveswere involved in the recent thefts.One group resorted to bruteforce by using fire-extinguishersto break windows in order to eni-ter the computer facilities,Schiller said.

Warm and moist forremainder of week

Early spring is the season for the "cut-off" in thenortheast United States. A "cut-off" is a low-pressure system which becomes stationary, unlikethe generally eastward propagating stovrms ofwinter-time. These disturbances can persist for aslong as a week. The local influence upon weather isquite dependent upon the position of the "cut-off."For example a "cut-off" positioned to our southeastwill result in a cool-damp northeasterly flow here inBoston. It appears as if a "cut-off" is forming toour west. As a result we would expect a warm andmoist, flow to develop from the south and persist asthe weekend approaches.

Today: Skies will be partly-cloudy with hightemperatures near 55°F (13°C). Winds will beonshore during the day.

Tonight: It will clear, calm and cool with lows 40-45 °F (5-7 °C).

Wednesday: Parly sunny with highs 55-60°F (13-15 °C).

Thursday: Chance of showers. Highs 53-58°F (11-14 °C).

Mecham is impeachedEvan Mecham is now the former governor of Arizona.

He left the state senate chamber smiling after the senateconvicted of two counts of wrong doing at his impeach-ment trial. Mecham said, "They donlt like my poiitics."He became the first governor in 59 years to be impeachedand removed from office. The senate convicted him of at-tempting to thwart a death threat investigation and ofmisusing funds. Arizona's new governor is Rose Moffard.

Meese faces another probeEdwin Meese will be the subject of yet another probe.

Justice Department sources say the Attorney Generalfaces an ethics investigation by the department's Office ofProfessional Responsibilty. The review, which was haltedwhen independent counsel James McKay launched hiscriminal investigation of Meese last year, will resume onceMcKay's probe is complete. The process could ultimatelyresult in a recommendation to President Reagan thatMeese be fired.

Simon predicts good finishAlthough polls suggest differently, Senator Paul Simon

(D-IL) said he will do well in today's Wisconsin primary.Simon has indicated he needs a good showing in Wiscon-sin in order to continue his campaign. His only victory sofar has come in his home state of Illinois. Polls say Jack-son and Dukakis are the front-runners.

Memory of King celebratedAs one civil rights leader put it, "They killed the mes-

senger, but they could not kill the message." Supportersof Martin Luther King Jr. say that on this, the twentiethanniversary of his death, people should renew their com-mittment to his struggle. Yesterday, hundreds marched tothe Lorraine Motel in Tennessee - the site of hisassassination.

Jackson admonishedDemocratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson was

the target of a gentle rebuke by State Department offi-cials. Jackson had disclosed that he sent a letter to Nor-iega last month urging him to step down. Yesterday, aspokeswoman said, "Proliferation of channels is a tacticNoriega likes to use to buy time," and contended thatsuch communications could prolong Noriega's hold onpower.

FDA to regulate cosmeticsNearly two dozen cosmetic companies have been given

30 days to stop claiming their over-the-counter creams canreverse or retard aging of skin. The Food and Drug Ad-ministration warns that any cosmetic product that isclaimed to counteract, retard or control the aging process,or repair or rejuvenate the skin will be subject to the samekind of regulation applied to drugs.

US sends 1300 troops to PanamaThe US has said there are no plans for military action

in Panama but 1300 American troops are being sent theretomorrow. Officials say it is part of a plan to beef up secu-rity for Americans living in Panama.

George Shultz's PhD '49 peace mission. Yesterday's talksbetween Shultz and Israeli leaders focused on the US pro-posal for Palestinian self-rule.

Noriega levels threatHearings into Panamanian strongmnan Manuel Norie-

ga's drug dealings continue on Capitol Hill. Yesterday,Jose Blandon, former military aid to General Noriega,testified that Noriega possesses embarassing informationabout US officials. Blandon told the investigating Senatecommittee that Noreiga sent a letter to Panamanian offi-cials containing material which suggests that certain USofficials at least condoned drug trafficking in CentralAmerica. Blandon was not asked for details during yester-day's questioning.

US ambassador chasedUS officials are talking tougher after Sunday's incident

involving Ambassador Arthur Davis. His car was pursuedfor two miles by a Panamanian military vehicle with sirenwailing and red lights flashing. The State Departmentcalled it a case of deliberate harrassment. Panamanian of-ficials claim that the event began when a policeman sawgunmen following the ambassador's car. Panama's JusticeMinister suggested that the US staged the chase to justifyan eventual invasion.

Nicaraguan ceasefire in troubleBoth sides in the Nicaraguan war accused each other

yesterday of violating a cease-fire agreement. A pro-gov-ernment newspaper said rebels killed two soldiers overEaster weekend. An underground rebel station quoted acontra spokesman as saying Sandinista troops have beenfiring on rebels daily since the truce began. The reportscame as talks appeared stalled in efforts to work out apermanent end to Nicaragua's six-year-old civil war.

Dukakis advisor may be investigatedState officials are refusing to comment on a report that

a former advisor to Governor Dukakis is the target of astate investigation into a $15 million contract at the Uni-versity of Lowell. The first assistant Attorney General saidyesterday that his office would have no statements on thematter. The Boston Globe quoted unidentified sources inreporting that the state probe involved Gerard Indelicato,who is under indictment on federal corruption charges.

Massachusetts considerschild care law

Business interests are expressing opposition to legisla-tion requiring employers to offer workers up to eighteenweeks for parental leave with partial wage replacementand job guarantees. Richard Mastrangelo of the Associat-ed Industries of Massachusetts said yesterday that Massa-chusetts would be the only state in the country to forceemployers to take on such a burden. The employee wouldhave his or her job restored or be allowed to fill a compa-rable position upon returning to the job.

Kansas Wins NCAA titleThe University of Kansas has capped its basketball sea-

son with an 83-79 win over Oklahoma in NCAA champi-onship game yesterday in Kansas City. It is the sixth timein the past seven years that the college championship hasbeen decided by fewer than five points. Danny Manningclinched the victory for the Jayhawks by sinking four freethrows in the final 14 seconds. Manning finished with 31points, 18 rebounds, five steals, and a sensational clutchperformance. Kansas with 11 defeats has more losses thanany other champion in NCAA history. Kansas wasunranked going into the tournament. Compiled by Annabelle Boyd

and was perceptive to the pre-viously mentioned incidents.However, the incident thatstunned me most was the per-former dressed as a stereotypicalArab toting a machine gun. Astereotype quite prevalent inAmerica and the media- itstrongly suggests that all Arabsor Muslims are blood-thirsty ter-rorists or filthy rich oil sheiks. Itis not uncommon to hear in thenews about actions committed byan Arab terrorist, or worse, aMuslim terrorist. Being Arab orMuslim has nothing to do withtheir actions so why use theseterms to describe them? Contrastthis impression to the activities inIreland, where we don't hearabout Catholic, Christian, orIrish terrorists; instead they are

Further, I think the Chorallar-ies do equal justice to majoritiesas to minorities at MIT. Some ofthe songs that elicited the mostlaughter from the audience werethose that made fun of the MITengineer, for example "TheEngineers' Song."

Richmond ends his column bysuggesting that the day he andthe Chorallaries can laugh to-gether is a long way off. Perhapsif he had laughed at their con-cert, that day would already bepast.

To the Editor:I have been intrigued by the re-

cent articles in The Tech concern-ing the Chorallaries concert andtheir jokes made at the expenseof deeply offending women, ra-cial minorities, and the physically

hlandicapped. Some neople feelthat these vicious attacks are per-missible since they were made inthe name of "humor." It is quitedisheartening to discover thatsome people feel stereotypingand bigotry is acceptable as longas it is funny to the majority.Taken to an extreme, I wouldimagine this argument wouldcondone the lynching of a blackman by the Ku Klux Klan as longas laughter and joviality were inthe air.

I was present at this concert

C:horallairiesjustice to alTo the Editor:

In his column [" 'Humor' re-flects prejudices," April 11, Jona-than Richmond G lives up to theexpectations of the day by illus-trating his own prejudice againsthumor. He levels two basiccharges against the Chorallariesand Allen Grove '89; that theyoffend people by their humor andthat they "focus and re-infbrce bigoted beliefs" in thecommunity.

The first accusation can onlybe answered by noting that theConcert in Bad Taste is simplythat, and anyone who attends ex-pecting humor in good taste de-serves what he gets. I might ex-cuse Richmond himself, if he wassent by his editor to review theevent for The Tech, but thiswould hardly be in the spirit ofobjective journalism.

The second accusation is a farmore serious one and deservesthe attention of all members ofthe community. In Richmond'sown words, it is time to face upto these problems, to surfacethese hurtful beliefs and try tocast them off. However, he doesnot suggest how this is to be ac-complished, except by saying'use a little imagination."

I submit that a little imagina-tion is exactly what the Choral-laries are using. By making funof the admissions officer whorates physical disability and eth-nic origin above intellectual pow-ii

the paper approached the profes-sor in his classroom for a com-ment. Although the paper's re-presentatives may have beenconfrontational in their ap-proach, they did nothing morethan what the "60 Minutes" re-porters do every week; they dis-played some rudeness which isoften necessary in investigativejournalism. These tactics were re-warded with charges of invasionof privacy and harassment. Be-cause the professor in questionwas a minority, they also carriedthe taint of racial prejudice.

What punishment should suchstudents receive? At Gallaudet,student protestors who shutdown their college for severaldays were viewed heroically. Hereat MIT obnoxious whistle blow-ers are casually exonerated. Cer-tainly such "justice" is notunique to the universities men-tioned; college activists rarely re-cieve more than a slap on thewrist.

More specifically, liberal col-

lege activists are seldomly pun-ished. The conservative reportersat Dartmouth found quite an-other system of justice applied tothem. John Sutter, the executiveeditor, and Christopher Baldwin,the editor-in-chief, were suspend-ed until 1989. John Quilhot, thephotography editor, was suspend-ed until this fall, and Sean No-lan, a writer, received a one-yearprobation.

The unwarrantedly stiff penal-ties were not enough, however.Dartmouth College PresidentJames Freedman decided to addinsult to injury and took this op-portunity to lambaste the Dart-mouth Review. Freedman stated,"1 do not criticize a newspaperbecause it is conservative. Rather,I deplore a pervsely provocativestyle of journalism that vulgar-izes responsible conservativethought." More aptly put, youcan have your conservative news-paper as long as you don't offendany liberals.

It not often happens that a ma-jor university and the presidentthereof severely punish a groupof students whose expressed goalsare to imnrove academic stan-dards. VWhen such an incidentdoes occur, the public outcry, orat least the protestations fromcollege groups, should be deafen-ing. Such an outcry would nowbe present, no doubt, if the col-lege group in question were notthe editors of the notoriouslyconservative Dartmouth Review.

In an effort to maintain highstandards at their university, thenewspaper published an articleabout a course on the oral tradi-tion in American music. This ar-ticle described the course as "oneof Dartmouth's most academical-ly deficient courses." From manyaccounts, this course is one ofthose requirement-fillers so com-mon in today's course offerings,the intellectual equivalent to Bas-ket Weaving 101.

Then, in a follow up to thisoriginal story, four members of

IRA activists.Jonathan Richmond G further

perpetuates this racial stereotype,either intentionally or throughnegligence or ignorance, by fail-ing to point it out in his criticismof the Chorallaries. This stereo-type was blat1.t, in that it couldnot be missed since the performerwas quite prominent and presentduring the entire concert. Per-haps Richmond is implying thatArabs are open game for racialattacks.

The concert is just one ofmany places this attitude is ex-pressed. I was present at a recentlunch that featured Middle East-ern food sponsored by a group atMIT. At this lunch some people,including myself, decided to wearcostumes depicting Middle Eeas-tern people. I was fascinatedwhen people suggested my cos-tume wasn't complete because Iwas lacking a weapon. It was notan attitude that I was expectingto encounter at a campus thatprides itself with intelligence.

There are close to a billionMuslims and over 200 millionArabs in this world. Less than 15percent of Muslims are Arabsand there are large numbers ofJewish and Christian Arabs. Tomake such broad and viciousgeneralizations about any race orreligion is not fair. I am not anArab, my only concern is the cal-lous attacks made by members ofthe MIT community against mi-norities. I write this letter topoint out that there still does ex-ist a racial problem at MIT whichneeds to be addressed.

(Continued from page 4)The more telling statement

from Freedman - and the state-ment which gets to the crux ofthe problem - was, "DartmouthCollege must not stand by silent-ly when a newspaper recklesslysets out to create a climate of in-tolerance and intimidation thatdestroys our "utual sense ofcommunity."

I have often wondered whyradical liberalism always flour-ished so on college campuses.Certainly naivete and youthfulexuberance as well as a certainproclivity towards rebellionagainst the "Establishment" arepossible sources for this situa-tion. However, all the pieces didnot quite fit together until I readthe words "our mutual sense ofcommunity."

This community can be likenedto a close group of friends dis-cussing the world's problems inthe wee hours of the morning.The close scrutiny of the realworld has now been eased andsince only comrades are present,even the wildest of plans is in nodanger of censure. Indeed, withthe constant reinforcement ofcompanions in such cases, thewildest of plans can become themost plausible and soon all prob-lemss cease to exist, It is all sosimple!

The climate on today's campusis as uncritical of every new ideaas the above community offriends would be. To question aradical's claims is often construedas intolerance, and to openly de-mand some type of proof or jus-tification is clearly taken to be in-timidation. The DartmouthReview has attempted to be thelight of day which inevitablycomes to clear the heads of theunrestrained compatriots, but,not wishing to be awakened, therevelers have drawn the blinds.

The type of radical liberal ele-ment which the Review seeks toconfront and expose is best de-scribed by Dostoevsky in Crinmeand Punishment when writing ofAndrey Semenovich:

"He was one of thatcountless and multifariouslegion of nondescripts, pu-

trescent abortions and un-informed obstinate foolswho instantly and infalliblyattach themselves to themost fashionable currentidea, with the immediateeffect of vulgarizing if and

THE WANNSEE CONFERENCEStarring Dietrich Maftausch, Anita Maally,Peter Fitz, and Gerd Bockmann.Produced by Manfred Korytowski.Directed by Heinz Schirk.Plays Wednesday through Friday at theSomerville Theater (Davis Square).

drinking too much brandy.During the meeting, the discussion cen-

ters on how to best consolidate the mecha-nisms for mass extermination under onecommand for maximal efficiency. ReinhardHeydrich, the chief of the Nazi SecurityPolice and Secret Service, who convenedthe meeting, is particularly pleased whenthe conference participants readily agreeto support his plan to implement the finalsolution. Not only does it bolster his ownpolitical ambitions (he was designated asHitler's successor), it masks the responsi-bility for the decision behind a collectivecommittee decision.

The biggest controversy that Heydrichhas to tackle during the meeting concernsprisoners of mixed lineage. Arguing thathalf of their blood is Aryan and thereforeought not be eliminated, Wilhelm Stuck-art, the Reich Minister of the Interior, pro-poses a compromise that half-Jews be ster-ilized rather than killed. Heydrich,however, firmly asserts that anyone withJewish blood will be considered a Jew. Heargues that it simplifies the bookkeeping.After some debate, the others quickly givetheir assent, relieved that this sticky pointhas been resolved.

Director Heinz Schirk makes No attemptto comment or highlight any of this. Helets the meeting and the participants speakentirely for themselves. The most tellingcomment made by Schirk is in his camerawork. After showing the exterior of thehouse and a few other establishing shots,the camera enters the conference roomand does not emerge from the house againuntil the end of the meeting and the film.This is the primary element responsible fortransporting the audience to within the su-persensitized sense of reality pervading thefilm.

While inside the room, the camera al-most seems to adopt the emotional charac-teristic of a Greek chorus, witnessing theevents unflinchingly while being unable toinfluence the seemingly ie.vitable nutscome. Near the beginning of the film, thecamera executes a complete rotation aboutthe long rectangular table at which the

N TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1942, fif-

lg D teen high-ranking members oft the Nazi government attended a

5_~b~ meeting in the upper-class Ber-lin suburb of Wannsee, where a rernark-ably casual sequence of events resulted inthe policy for systematic eradication of theJewish people. Based upon detailed min-utes taken by the secretary, down to thelevel of detail of what the party officialsate for lunch, the film documents the birthof the Holocaust as a formal and officialpolicy.

In 1984, producer Manfred Korytowskicompleted The Wannsee Conference, afilm that directly recreates the conferenceand runs 85 minutes - the exact length ofthe actual meeting. Korytowski's interestwas aroused when he discovered the secre-tary's notes at Yad Vashem, the HolocaustArchives in Jerusalem- He quickly becameconvinced that the conference demanded adefinitive cinematic treatment. After sixyears of intensive research, he managed toaccumulate letters from Heinrich Hinmmlerand Hermann Goerin- as well as the 1961trial records of Adolf Eichmann (a confer-ence participant) and documents from theNuremburg trials. From these records,writer Paul Momrnmertz fashioned a densescreenplay from which the film was made.

The film's approach is to eschew horri-fying images of concentration camps orpersonal testimonials that abound in mostHolocaust polemics. Instead, the film sim-ply presents the Nazis as accurately as therecords allow, without commentary or nar-ration. As the conenrence gets under walethe men crack jokes, flirt with the secre-tary, and drink cognac that the waitersbring out. One man even falls asleep after

,a ResurrezioneOmmerle, Sharon Baker, Catherine Rob-bin, Jeffrey Thomas, and David Thomasdelivered performances ranging from thestrong to the sublime; in particular, Orm-merle's performance as the Angel was re-markable - Handel clearly did not intendhis "supporting roles" to be easy ones.

On the other hand, neither did Handelwrite music that was removed from thepublic; his portrayal of the eternal strugglebetween God and Devil in the oratorio'sscore was vivid and easy to envision. Inparticular, David Thomas' recounting ofhis fall from grace (as the Devil) was ac-companied by somber, downward-slopingphrases in the strings. Anyone interestedin the evolution of programmatic musicwriting is encouraged to start withHaydn's oratorios, this or any other.

The use of original instruments, nowcalled into general controversy among themusical literati, was perfect for this work.Furthermore, a touch of choreography-each soloist entered "as needed" instead ofall together at the start - was highly en-tertaining. Finally, neither overstated norunderdone, Hogwood's tempi and dyna-mics, and the fluidity of the instrumental-ists and vocalists served to make this ren-dition of "La Resurrezione" a smashingHandelian success.

US ALL." remarked PapaHaydn after attending aperformance of Han-

del's Messiah; taken slightly out of con-text, this quotation describes nicely thefeeling that filled the air at Symphony Halltwo Sundays ago.

Christopher Hogwood's Handel andHaydn Society presented the-Boston pre-miere of Handel's "Resurrection" oratorioon March 25, and gave a second perfor-mance the following Sunday. The secondperformance was marked with flair andpanache; the performers were clearly verycomfortable with the work, and the solo-ists delivered strong performances. WhatHogwood did best was bring out the sub-tleties and grandiosities of Handel's mag-nificent musical writing.

Hogwood's direction was energetic andspirited, from the opening ritornetlo to theclose of the final tutti. Soloists Jeanne

(Continued from page 7)scarred emotionally while trying to divorcethemselves from their roles after theshoot.

The filmmakers' demand for completeprecision - even the pens and watches areaccurate - results in a copious use ofNazi jargon. Nevertheless, one need notknow that "Reichsffihrer S.S." refers toHeinrich Himmler to understand the es-sence of what is being discussed. The ex-pressions, tone of voice, and mannerismsall have a universal value that can easily beunderstood. Furthermore, the English sub-titles have been culled from the best ofthree separate translations (one originaltranscript, one by a poet, and one rigor-ously accurate).

The effect of all the elements that com-

prise this film is profoundly disturbing.Because the film approaches such a daunt-ing topic with so muted a style, the viewercannot build defenses or rationalizationsagainst what is on the screen. Mernories ofthis film linger and remain long after thefinal credits scroll by - so much so thatthe ultimate impact is that of a bomb ex-ploding under one's feet.

The filmmakers force the viewer to real-ize that real and live human beings werebehind all the Nazi carnage and therebyprecipitate a test of even the most forgiv-ing definition of humanity. In the end,nothing could be more damning an indict-ment of the Nazis than the Nazis them-selves. The accomplishment of The Wann-see Conference in this regard is nothingshort of devastating.

The unusual Amorphous Ensemble has two guitarists, a flautist, a cellist and akeyboardist. In their Boston premiere, augmented by guest artists, they will perform aGuitar Quartet by Edward Green, Stichomythia for Guitar Solo by TheodoreAntoniou, Summer Music for Cello, Flute and Two Amplified Guitars by MeyerKupferman and works by Marti Epstein and Alexander Jemnitz.

THE WOODENTOPSAt the Paradise, March 18.

muddled by an oppresive bass-heavysound system that plagued the entire show.This also caused Anne Stephensor's key-boards to sound shrill and harsh in com-parison to Rollo's smooth vocals. The mu-sic's quick tempo and high energyoutshone these technical difficulties, how-ever.

The Woodentops have occasionally triedto divert some of their live energy into vi-nyl. Their latest recorded endeavor iscalleod KUoden Foot "V- vr' Th" ;.Lg. -way. Rollo recently said, "We intentionallydon't want to have one focus on the al-bumrn." This time around the block they'vesucceeded at just that. The album is full ofexciting twists and turns, with only an oc-casional dead end.

The album starts out at a ferocious pacewith "Maybe It Won't Last"; its frantickeyboards and raging guitars put thingsinto high gear. "In a Dreamn" is the al-bum's meisterwerk, a frenzied collage thattouts Rollo's ranting vocals over an orches-tral chasm. The band gets down and funkyon "What You Give Out" with the help ofBernie Worrell (Talking Heads) on key-boards and Doug Wimrbash (Mick Jagger,Tackhead) on bass.

The album cruises along smoothly untilit stalls with the weight of "Heaven" and"Tuesday-Wednesday." On "Heaven," TheWoodentops slow down so much that Ihad to check to make sure the batteries of.my Walkman weren't running low."Tuesday-Wednesday" is a soppy little dit-ty with an annoying dripping water faucetin the background.

The album is soon back on track withthe carefree abandon of 'No One MakesMe Feel," a song reminiscent of the hap-py-go-lucky acoustic material on theband's 1986 album Giant.

Perhaps Rollo explains the album's tem-peramental moods best: "To me, it startsin the claustrophobic oppression of thecity; I had New York on a bad day inmind. It starts off really sluggish and thenyou move into the suburbs and then finallyonto the open road."

By PAIGE PARSONS

OLLO MCGINTY never slowsdown. When his band The Woo-dentops play, they possess an in-tensity that can only be appreci-

ated by a live audience. Boston got achance to witness this supernova at theParadise two weeks ago when the bandstopped by to promote their newest al-bum, Woodenfoot Cops on the Highway.

The Woodentops treated their fans to afast, pumped up versions of their classicsincluding "Well, Well, Well," "Have YouSeen the Light," and 'Move Me." Theband's goal for the evening appeared to beplaying everything as fast as possible, re-gardless. Benny Staples was a blur of mo-tion on drums as he set the speed for"Love Train." The band kept up the pacewith an even faster "Get It On," as Rollo'slips sent forth the song's sensual messagequicker than a speeding bullet.

Unfortunately, some of the newer mate-rial seemed to lose its funky viscosity ."What You Give Out" was flat and tired;its subtleties and snappy rhythms were

The CFYP initially began con-sidering pass/fail in ternis of itseffect on flexibility Manning said,though the discussion "took alife of its own" after that. Thepresent pass/fail structure, Hausexplained, discourages studentsfrom letting science core subjectsslip over into their thrid term.

But Aimee Smrz '88, claimedthat students themselves have ex-pectations about the science core,that they wanted to keep pacewith other freshmen.

The CFYP will hold a secondforum next Monday.

One student suggested thatminimum competency standards- on an absolute scale, not acurve - could be established forpassing the science core subjects.

Darian Hendricks '89 ques-tioned whether poor performancein the second term might be afnhilhri of the ctiidntc' cllnnnrt

system. Manning said the CFYPwas not laying all of the blameon pass/fail; he suggested, how-ever, that second term was an op-portune time to switch to gradesbecause of the continuity of thefreshman support system. Thepresent transition into the sopho-more year is a difficult one,Manning argued.

Freshman year is seen as"training ground"

Manning likened the presentconception of the freshman yearas that of a "training ground,"saying it was "excessively rigid."Most freshmen are taking pri-marily science core subjects, hesaid, rather than exploring arange of interests. Although thereare no rules requiring students tocomplete the science core in theirfirst year, he said, "there are clearmessages coming from all partsof the Institute that this isdesirable."

But Manning said that mostdepartment heads had agreed,when surveyed, that much couldbe gained if students would

One student said he had seenfreshman deliberately overloadwhile on pass/fail, but that hethought they were small minority.

Kenneth Simons '90 suggestedthat freshmen may merely betesting their limits during the sec-ond term, and not deliberatelytrying to squeeze in more classeson pass/fail. Many students, he

Though Simons admitted thata low credit limit would prohibitexploration, another student sug-gested that excess credits beallowed, but on grades.

Second term work poor

Manning said poor courseworkperformance during the secondterm was an important concernof the CFYP, particularly becausestudents need only do "D" workin order to pass fundamentalsubjects. Faculty teaching upper-classmen often lament their stu-dents' poor background, saidProfessor Herman Haus, a mem-ber of the committee.

But one student countered thatputting students on grades is an"uncreative" and unnecessaryway to get students to do qualitywork. Another said he thoughtthat a full year of pass/fail bene-ficially resulted in low competi-tive spirit at MIT; because fresh-men are not worrying about eachother's quiz averages, he said,they learn to help each other outin classes.

Several students also notedthat raising standards for a pass-

Finboard needs information tofairly disperse its funds, Kantro-witz said. "Finboard exists pri-marily to give money to groupsthat cannot support themselvesfinancially."

In effect Finboard will becomeevery group's accountant, Hen-dricks said. This is not a newidea - about 15-20 groups havehaduu their finances managed b-yFinboard in the past few years,Kantrowitz added.

With the new system individualgroups will retain total controlover their money, Hendricksstressed. "Everyone will have sep-arate accounts and no one butthe authorized members of thegroup will have access to thosefunds," he said. Hendricks addedthat many of the incidental ex-penses such as checking feeswould be avoided.

Kantrowitz, who also is busi-ness manager of The Tech, as-serted that for various studentactivities such as The Tech or theLecture Series Committee, whichhave large cash flows, Finboard"would not be capable of per-forming all the necessary book-

keeping."Chakrabarty noted that MTG

does not intend to comply withFinboard's request. "Often ittakes MIT three weeks to cutchecks," he said. "Sometimes atMTG we have to pay expensesonly on an hour's notice," heexplained.

Chakrabarty said he was fairlycertain that LSC, The Tech, andthe Student Center Committeewould join MTG in nor comply-ing with the request.

Both MTG and The Tech re-ceive no Finboard funding, andaccording to Kantrowitz, "therule does not apply to us."

Chakrabarty asserted that,"they [Finboard] don't have theauthority to put forth such a re-quest. Really it's just apowerplay."

Hendricks conceded that hewould be willing to compromiseif special situations arise. "Myletter was not meant to be anta-gonistic," Hendricks said. Ratherit was intended to convincesmaller groups that if some stu-dent activities need to maintainoutside accounts, they can pre-sent valid reasons for doing so,Hendricks said.
