Student interest and the CSFbudget have waned since the latesixties. This is a "reflection ofchanging moods," said Miller,"but interest is perking up." TheCSF budget in the late sixties wasaround $60,000; today it is half ofthat. The CSF budget is made upentirely from donations,predominantly from MIT alumniand the MIT community. "CSF iswholly separate from the MIT ad-ministration," said Miller.

CSF has an annual spring fund-raising drive to encourage theMIT commun.ity to donate to the

-fund. CSF also sends out requestsfor support-to MIT alumni eachyear. A campaign to raise fundsfrom the student body endedyears ago when CSF discoveredthat the effort was costing moremoney than was being donated.

The senior dinner program isdesigned to increase studentawareness of the AA and what itdoes both at MIT and around thenation. The goal of the program isfor 'future alumni to rememberMIT so that they might supportthe Institute some time later withmonetary or other grants or byworking in the AA itself.

The AA has programs by which;t can help students and alumni;these are further described at thedinners.

Student reaction to the dinnershas been fair to good. The AAmade it clear that no contribu-tions at the door are expected ofseniors.

(Continuedfrom page I )According to- Amalrik, the

Soviet Union depends heavily onAmerican science and technologyin its military efforts and for itsextensive industrial complex.Both Amalrik and Yankelovichmaintained that contact betweenAmerican and Soviet scientistsshould be contingent upon Sovietcompliance with human rights de-mands.

Besides the monitoring ofhuman rights abuses, the USgovernment can exert pressuredirectly on the USSR. For exam-ple, New York Senators Javitsand Moynihan have led a-specialeffort on behalf of Shcharanskyby threatening the Soviet Unionwith a trade embargo. It was men-tioned that Americans can playan important part with threat ofan "embargo" on importantscientific exchanges with theUSSR.

Yankelovich stated that while acommon attitude of scientists isthat "science is supreme," moralsand science can coincide ifAmerican scientists demand anexchange with only the leadingscientists of the Soviet Union andrefuse to welcome those of onlymediocre ability. These inferiorscientists, according toYankelovich, are allowed to visitthe US because of their "moraland ideological convictions": thatis, their ability to utter "pseudo-Marxist incantations." An ex-change with a truly intelligentelite of the USSR would hopeful-ly pave the road to honest reformefforts such as those of Sakharov.

The final speaker, Moshe Git-terman, a physicist at Bar I lanUniversity in Israel, mentionedthe important role that both MITand the National Academy ofSciences can play in exerting pres-sure on US-USSR scientific ex-changes. As a leading organizer ofIsraeli efforts on behalf of Soviet

WorldLebanese terrorists strike in Tel Aviv - From 20 to 30 Israelicivilians were killed during a gunfight between police and agroup of.terrorists who seized a bus in Tel Aviv last Friday. Thebus burst into flames, wounding about 70 persons in the vicinity.Al Fatah, a terrorist faction based in Beirut, has claimed respon-sibility for the incident, which was deliberately staged just beforePrime Minister.Begin's visit was scheduled to begin. Begin, whohas postponed the visit, gave'indications Sunday that officialmilitary reprisal might be planned.Leftists gain slight, edge in French elections - Preliminaryreturns in the first round of general elections being held in Francethis week show that the Communist, Socialist, and other leftistparties are supported by a very slight majority of the Frenchpublic. It is impossible, though, to predict the final outcome atthis stage. The first round in the French election process serves asa kind of "primary" which narrows down the multitude of eligi-ble candidates. The.right-wing coalition now in power has by nomeans given up hope, especially since returns'are as yet very in-complete.

NationAmerican Nazis form 'crntral organization -- Groups of self-proclaimed Nazis from all over the nation held a conventionwhich ended Sunday, having officially formed the NationalSocialist Party of America. The new party is headed by FrankCollin of Chicago.

Science -Cosmologists are making rapid advances -It is generallyagreed among astronomers and cosmologists today that a "leap"in our knowledge of the universe should occur in the near future.Age-old philosophical questions on the origin and nature of theuniverse are beginning to be answered in more and more depth.Scientists are divided-into two schools: one holds that the visibleuniverse contains less than one atom per 88 gallons of space onthe average. This leads to the conclusion that there is not enoughmatter for gravitational effects to'pull the expanding universeback together, and that it will continue to dissipate forever. Thismeans that the universe must have had one definite, "final"beginning. The other school holds that there is in fact enoughmatter to cause the expansion to eventually stop and reverseitself. This would imply a continual repetition of cosmologicalhistory - a "big bang", expansion, development, slowing down,retraction, collapse, then another big-bang, etc. This theory rulesout the possibility of a definite time of "birth" of the universe.

mistken ¢that no middle ground was possi-ble. I call for the same decision ontheir part. Do they favor the useof violent methods to further theirobjectives? Will they allythemselves with supporters ofviolence in pursuit of their goals?The Young Socialists shouldanswer these questions directlyrather than. make dark hintsabout the alternative to abortivelegislation.

T'he ag'encies of worldimperialism are not in a weakposition today, as the YoungSocialists stated in their letter.Only those capable of wildstr6tches of crazed fantasy can say

. that the imperialistic Russian ac-tions in Africa 'are for the purposeof liberating workers. The Rus-sians and their Cuban cohorts arein Africa to extend their dom-ina-tion of countries -too weak- to de-fend themselves. Nor does the

imperialistic PLO (trying to as-sociate the miners' desires for bet-ter working conditions and moremoney with the aims of the PLOand SWAPO was a gross mis--representation) reject violence as,a method for achieving what itwants.

Does art matterin todays world?

By Bob WassermanThe Committee on the Visual Arts has succeeded in placing several

large and even famous pieces of modern art on the MIT Campus in thepast decade. There must be a reason behind these acquisitions some ofwhich, such as Transparent Horizons, were quite controversial.

One question remains, however: Why is MIT concerned with instill-ing an awareness of art in its largely technological student body?

The answer to this question is that art and science have much to offereach other in today's society. According to Robert E. Mueller, "Thereis a danger that the denial of the artistic vision of man could fundamen-tally affect the creative vision of science." Mueller, a 1948 graduate ofMIT, asserts in The Science of Art that art influences science by ar-ticulating humanness and by nurturing creativity.

Science and art were not always at opposite ends of the specirum;many Renaissance men fused these two disciplines of knowledge.

_e _c Alberti, an early Italian_~ ! || 1 w w architect, helped develop

the science of perception._- g' ' t~ i Brunelleschi, who solved

_$ 11 1 the puzzle of the design of_ 11z.the Florentine .Dome, was

_-C - 1 l not only a masterfularchitect but also an expert engineer, for he oversaw much of the con-struction of the dome. Michelangelo studied anatomical science inorder to fully understand the human physique, and along the same linesan unknown artist contributed the excellent illustrations for Vesalius'text on human anatomy, the first of its kind.

- The Northern European painters were more concerned with portray-ing detail then were their Italian contemporaries and thus thesepaintings offer a valuable document of sixteenth century Europeantechnology. The March 1978 issue of Scientific American featuresPieter Brueghel and his '"Tower of Babel", a painting which effectivelyshows the European construction technology of Brueghel's day.

Perhaps the greatest fuser of Renaissance science and art, however,was Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo's early sciiooling was as a painter,and he used his incredible imagination throughout his life, both in hisartistic and in his scientific endeavors. Leonardo was quite proud of hisengineering ability, also and his~,humenous drawings and notes laid thefoundation for modern scientific observation.

New technology of the past century has permanently changed ~art,and perhaps the beauth of the Renaissance artistic master pieces willnever be repeated. Photography has replaced painting as the perfectcapturer of detail, thus modern art has become almost exclusivelyabstract. The development of the motion picture has made film themost important and most popular art form today. Many subjects ofmodern art as well as art techniques are concerned with examples ofour technologically oriented society, .. ~ . . ,

Twentieth Century Science seems to awe and even dominate themodern artists, and technology sometimes seems to ever rule the entireworld today. One gets the feeling that every MIT student would go tosee the Mona Lisa or any other work of Leonardo's several times,although Henry Moore's and Louise Nevelson's pieces are ignored.Mueller otters an excellent appraisal of many MIT student's attitudestowards modern art: "It is as if art is refused a position [in today'sworld] because it is not immediately obvious, and because it is not im-mediately, practically rewarding."

In today's specialized world no one will ever be able to matchLeonardo's mastery of both science and art. That does not mean,however, that everyone today can not learn from and even appreciatemodern art. Furthermore, as Mueller points out, "Man's science com-prehends nature best, in perceptual areas that art has proliferateddeepest." Who knows, perhaps one hundred years from now art of thetwentieth century will be revered while today' s technology -will beforgotten.

As one referencestates, "illegal and violent actionsby extremist supporters of thegovernment, the regime's failureto attain - majority support, andpoorly planned socialist economicprograms led to political andfinancial chaos and drasticdeclines in production."

If the US wants to perpetrateimmense inhumanity, as theYoung Socialists accuse, we couldstart by collecting the moneyalmost every friend and foe in theworld owes us. But we are not do-ing that. No one listened toHitler; the 'Young Socialistswould 'have us ignore Russia'simperialistic plans to dominatethe world while they accuse theUS of imperialism.

An individual must decide forhimself what his responsibilitiesto society are; these respon-sibilities might include carefulevaluation of issues. What givesthe Young Socialists the right tosay, in effect, "your responsibilityis the building of a politicalleadership dedicated tosocialism?" Let each personchoose for himself. The YoungS~ocialists should try to rememberthat the democratic process stillexists in the USA. Whether or notthe Young Socialists believe thatthe CIA is a democratic institu-tion is irrelevant to the fact thatthe CIA deserves due process atMIT. When the Young Socialiststry to use the methods of the peo-ple they are trying to remove, itsays little for their own integrity.

SocaliBy Dan McDonough

The recent letter from the M ITYoung Socialists Club, calling forthe removal of the CIA from thecampus, causes wonder about thevalidity of their position.Removal without compromise orwaiting for the Report of the AdHoc Committee is hardly aproper approach in this type ofmatter. When the YoungSocialists abuse their right to free'speech in an attempt to deny theCIA of its rights, their use of thiscountry's laws for private pur-poses is demonstrated. Why notwait for the Committee's reportbefore accusations are made?Half the members of the' Com-mettee have said that they favorstudent representation, which ishardly indicative of a white wash,as the Young Socialists charge.

The CIA has the right to fundresearch, openly, with all-those in-volved aware of =--their participa--"""; '. ' "tion.

Dictating to a personwhat his work shall be only opensthe door further to even moregovernment regulation.. ThieYoung Socialists said that any at-tempt to control the CIA throughlegislation is abortive. Are theysuggesting violent removal as thesolution?

style. The music was well rehearsed and theband ran through the challenging rhythmswith apparent ease. The band had an excel-lent- sound; each section was individuallystrong. The ensemble performance wasvery good and the progressive jazz bandsound exciting.

Overall the program was good and aneasy entrance into the jazz world. TLe con-cert was well attended by an interestedaudience.

Several jazz evenfts are coming up soonand merit mention. Lowell will be hostinga jazz weekend on April 7-8. Featured per-formanlces will be by the Ramsey Lewis

with their improvisations. Tenor sax TomOlivierie was particularly outstanding onhis several solos.

The Harvard Jazz Band was third on theprogram. Their performance was adequatebut their audience impact was greatlyreduced by following the Lowell bnad."Footprints," a Wayne Shorter sextetensemble number, provided a welcomebreak from the main group.

The MIT Festival Jazz Ensemblefinished out the show and departed fromthe earlier music styles with their selec-tions. Several of the songs were recentlywritten for the band and are progressive in

Sextet and the Herb Pomeroy band.Also the Boston Glove Jazz Festival runs

from March 14 through tke 18 and packsseveral big-name Jazz concerts into thesefive days. Tuesday, drummers Roy Haynes

,and Tony Williams will play at Berklee.Wednesday, Lionel Hampton and his All-Star Alumni Band mark Hampton's fiftiethyear in music at Symphony Hall. The SamRiver Quartet will be performing on Thurs-day at Emmanuel Church. Tenor sax StanGetz will be at Berklee on Friday evening,Closing the festival on Saturday will beCount Basie and his Orchestra at the MusicHall.

By Clark BiselThis past Friday MIT saw the return of

the spring jazz festival in KresgeAuditorium. The four featured bands werethe IlIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, MITConcert Jazz Band, Harvard UniversityJazz Band, and the University of LowellStudio Orchestra. All of the bands werewell received and attending the concert wasa pleasant way to spend an evening.

The MIT Concert Jazz Band opened theprogram with a variety of big band songsfrom the past. The opener, "Big SwingFace," a Buddy Rich piece, was quick andlively with accentuated dynamics, settingthe tone for the evening. The band sloweddown with a Basie number and thenfinished with an up-tempo piece, "KillerJo(."

The trumpets and rhythm sectionsturned in consistant performances andseemed to run the band. The reeds neededbetter balence and were uncertain on manyof the technical passages in the pieces.

The University of Lowell StudioOrchestra was the second group to per-form. They played more contemporary bigband pieces and their performance was ex-cellent. The performance was cohesive,with the band sustaining a tight, balancedsound. - Soloists were excellent andprovided fresh thoughts into the music

& Coma, an MGM film released throughUnited Artists, starting Genevieve Bujold,Michael Douglas, Elizabeth Ashley, RipTorn, and Richard Widmark; produced byMartin Erlichman; written and directed byMichael Crichton; playing at the SackCheri; rated R.

By Bruce NawrockiComa is an exciting thriller based on

Robin Cook's bestseller. Genevieve Bujolcdoes a terrific job as Dr. Susan Wheeler,

the only doctor at Boston MemorialHospital who believes that somethingstrange is happening there. Her best friendis admitted to the hospital, goes into acoma during a routine operation, Pnd laterdies.

Susan starts her investigation into why adozen young, healthy patients went into ir-reversible comas during surgery in the pastyear. She is at first, helped in her search byher lover, Dr. Bellows (Michael Douglas).He later hinders her, since he feels that his

upcoming promotion to Chief Residentmay be put in jeopardy by his relationshipwith a snooping young doctor. Susanthen starts to dig deeper into the mystery,and to-her horror, she finds herself huntedby a murderer. At this point, the moviequickens its pace and stays in high gear un-til the very end.

Coma is an antiseptic chiller carefullycontrived to keep the shocks coming. Andthey do. Director Michael Crichton preyson everyone's fear of hospitals and the ut-ter helplessness that a patient feels when heis waiting for surgery.

There is little comic relief here. Onenurse exclaims ludicrously that a patienthas an innie (navel). Susan miraculouslyfinds a parking space right across from thehospital's entrance, and she also gets on agreen line MBTA car that is almost empty.Besides this, there is little time for-even ner-vous laughter. Although Coma was partial-ly filmed in Boston, there are very fewscenes of Boston itself, since most of the ac-tion takes place inside the hospital.

-One of the most interesting sequences isfilmed inside the fictional Jefferson In-stitute, a futuristic intensive-care facility.There are few windows, and the concreteand steel interiors with diffused lightingseem to drain all the color out of the film.It is an eerie place with a very suspicious-looking nurse (Elizabeth Ashley) andbodies hanging from threads. The buildinglooks like an I.M. Pei creation stuck in themiddle of a forest.

For those who have read the book, thefilm follows the same basic plot, with a fewchanges. For example, the scene from thebook about Kendall Square and the SloanSchool is cut from the movie. But becauseof the film's pace, the changes aren'tnoticed until the end.

Go see Coma. As thrillers go, it is plausi-ble, well written and acted, and good for afright or two.

continues as usual. Ben's "stepfather" (hismother's loverf becomes furious when Benstays out late one night. His anger towardBen reaches such a height that the "step-father" feels he must leave, and does, buthe soon returns. Then it's Ben's mother'sturn to go into a fit of rage and leave, Butshe comes to her senses. Then granny locksherself in her room becauseshe feels no oneneeds her. But she later sees the light. Ben'sturn: He screams at everyone that they'reall a bunch of nobodies, so his "stepfather"chases after Ben- across town to punishhim. This whole process repeats over andover.

If this all sounds episodic, melodramatic,and foolish, that's because it is. Every tinmea climax is reached, a long denouement fol,lows, in which the Frantic Four settle down

to their boring lives. Seeing this, you pickup your coat aifd start to leave the theatre,with the intention of demanding yourmoney back. But, wait! It's mother's turnto have a breakdown! So you sigh and con-tinue watching. When the end finallycomes, you wonder if this is really the end.

Besides the poor Script, the photographyand acting are also lacking. There are onlytwo interesting scenes in the entire movie.The first is when granny does a "shakedance"; the other when Ben's mother takesa bath in indigo blue dye (Why? TO wardoff evil spirits, what else?).

During all this Ben spouts deepphilosophical witticisms, such as the title.If he were truly knowledgeable, he wouldhave known that a Hero ain't nothin' but a-turkey sandwich.

Draw the Line - Aerosmiih on ColmbiaRecords.

This album represents the latest ofAerosmith's musical endeavors, withSteven Tyler still boasting one of theraspiest voices in the business. And typical-ly characteristic of all Aerosmith albums,this LP contains truly fine instrumentalperformances, including some wild sax-ophone and banrjo ad jibbing. The moredevoted Aerosmith fans might also be in-terested in knowing that harmonica play-ing still remains an integral part of theirstyle.

Cuts such as Kings and Queens easilysober the listener, while others including IWanna Know Why and Critical Massrestore the deep, heavy beat people havecome to expect from this group. Silky sm-ooth guitar performance is of-utmost im-portance as well, and few bars need beheard before the listener is reminded of themusical maturity of the ban~d's members.

Though much can be said of this album'ssimilarities to previous releases, some dif-ferences are also worth noting as well.

-These- include the possible over-exploitation of lead guitar performance,which can at times be dissonant and annoy-ing. Also, the bass line through most of thiscuts seems to dull much of the excitementinl the higher pitched guitar lines.-However, it would be best to concludeupon a more satisfactory note, and confirmAerosmith's new-found success with Drawthe Line. Their well-bred talent deserveslistening and respect, and in turn an at-tempt open one's minid to a standard 1970'sclass of hard rock enjoyment.

- Kenneth E. Nordhaulser

Baurning Rose -Billy Falcon on Manhattan Records

When a group combines the soothingsentimeintality df-the traditional rock-lovesong, the rhythm of the 'new wave sound,and adds the self-parody that's hard to finedemployed well in rock music, the groupgenerally succeeds in producing a en-joyable and expressive album.

Billy Faicon is such a group, and theirfirst album shows it. The album includeslove songs, hard-rock rhythms and weli-placed humor.

Sail A waydis a particularly moving songabout a young man who dreams of takinghis girl away as soon as he gets somemoney. Friday Niighe!, a song reminiscent ofBruce Springsteen, is a soft tribute to theless celebrated evening of the weekend.Boys and Girls is a satire of the entireweekend party scene which is especially ef-fective in its hard-driving sound. AnotherLonely Night has a reggae-style theme thatshows the well-rounldness of the group'smusical talents.,

Overall, the album is an outstanding firsteffort by a group that has put together aunique mixture oi cleaning, rhythmn andhumor. I _ . _
