Veteran campaigner challengessix-term representative

Alvin Thompson, a former as-sistant city manager for commu-nity relations, is campaigning forthe 28th district state representa-tive seat held by Saundra Gra-ham. Graham, who is endorsedby the Ward 2 Democrats, is run-ning for a seventh term.

Thompson, if elected, said thathis first priority would be tomake himself more visible thanprevious representatives. Thomp-son, who differs little from Gra-ham on th issues, felt that Gra-ham has nIt been accessible tothe public. The social issues con-cerning the two are affordablechild care (which Graham consid-ers to be her first priority), hous-ing and education. However, eventhough both candidates supportsocial programs, they realize thatthe state's potential fiscal crisismust also be addressed.

Graham supports limited bud-get cuts which would not affect

human setrices. Thompson, onthe other hand, feels that newtaxes, including higher driver's li-cense fees, would be effective inbringing additional revenues forthe state.

Graham and Thompson alsosupport a bond-issue to alleviatethe cost burden of the BostonHarbor clean-up.

Thompson, currently a truantofficer, ran unsuccessfully forstate representative in 1964 andfor Cambridge City Council in1980 and 1982.

Thursday's primary also in-cludes candidates for the US Sen-ate and House of Representa-tives. However, neither theDemocrats nor the Republicanshave a contested nomination.

Nothing could have prepared mefor the first few moments with myroommate. "Anique'--nothing more,just "Anique'--was her name. Changethe"A" to a "U"and you've got adescription.

When they asked what type ofroommate l wanted, I didfn't know thatI needed to be more specific than non-smoker. I could swear I saw a pictureof Anique on a postcard I got from London. Within five minutes, -I foundout that she was an Art History stu-dent, into the Psychedelic Furs, and

total ly totally against the domesti-cation of animals.

I was just about ready to put infor a room transfer when she

reached into her leatherOr backpack, pulled out a

- can of Suisse Mocha and offered me a cup. Okay, I

decided I'd keep an open mind. As we sipped our cups, I

found out that Anique and I share :

the same Fondness for Cary Grant iPmovies, the same disdain for wilnecoolers, and the same ex-boyfriend.

That gave us plenty to talk about.

The hurricane isexpected to strengthen even more today as it headson a course slightly north of west into the Gulf ofMexico. The extreme southern tip of Florida willget brushed with some gusty winds and rain today.The projected track of Gilbert takes it to the Texascoast by Friday. At 7 pm local time the storm waslocated at 18.4°N 78.6°W or just on the western tipof Jamaica.

Our weather will be influenced by the remains ofHurricane Florence which moved on shore inLouisiana this past weekend. Moisture associatedwith the remains of Florence will interact with acold front to produce some showers in theCambridge area. Once the front exits the area earlythis evening, a couple of reinforcing fronts will passthrough the area through Wednesday keeping ourweather cool and relatively dry.

Seoul prepares for OlympicsFinal preparations are underway for the Summer Olym-

pics in Seoul which start later this week. More than threemillion pots of flowers have been planted already in an-ticipation of the athletes of the world gathering, with ahalf million more due to be planted before the games be-gin. More than 400 athletes arrived in the South Koreancapital yesterday, bringing the total number to over 4500.

But all is not well with the Olympics. East Germanytried to get West German swimmer Jens Peter Berndt dis-qualified from the games because he defected from theEast in 1985. The International Olympic Committeeturned down the request. IOC President Juan Antonio Sa-maranch blasted the North Koreans for boycotting theOlympics, saying the country manipulated its athletes forpolitical reasons.

Botha meets Mozambique leaderSouth African President P.W. Botha and President Joa-

quim Chissano of Mozambique will be discussing a 1984non-aggression treaty during Botha's first summit-levelmission into "Black Africa." The treaty lapsed in 1985when Mozambique accused South Africa of helping arebel movement. Botha said South Africa is no longeraiding the rebels.

Zimbabwean peace urged by PopePope John Paul 1I is preaching reconciliation and peace

in Zimbabwe. He celebrated mass yesterday in a provin-cial capital that was the center of a tribal-based insurgen-cy that began shortly after Zimbabwe gained indepen-dence in 1980. Hundreds of people, including tenCatholic missionaries, were killed in the conflict betweenthe rebels and government troops.

Snow hinders park fireSeveral inches of snow that fell on Yellowstone Nation-

al Park have firefighters shivering in their boots, but italso eased their battle against wildfires. Up to four inchesof snow fell in some areas yesterday. Humidity is as highas 90 percent and temperatures dropped into mid 30s. Itgot so cold that some firehoses froze up.

The weather is not giving a break to firefighters in Cali-fornia's Sierra Nevada foothills. A fire fanned by 40 mile-per-hour gusts has destroyed up to 30 buildings, including13 homes, in Lake Wildwood. Residents, who were evacu-ated on Sunday and allowed to return home yesterdaymorning, have been evacuated again. State officials saythe blaze has blackened I10,00 acres.

Duklakis pledges torestore US leadership

Michael Dukakis yesterday promised a foreign policythat would "restore respect for American leadership in achanging world." The Democratic presidential nomineesaid he will focus on a strong domestic economy to bol-ster the US position in world trade. He said other keypoints are unwavering opposition to terrorism and an ex-panded effort to stop international drug trafficking.

EPA misdirected, study saysA report by more than forty scientists says the Environ-

mental Protection Agency's efforts are misdirected. TheBoston Globe reported yesterday the study says the agen-cy should focus on early detection and prevention of pol-lution, rather than clean-up efforts. The report, due to bereleased this week, was commissioned by the EPA.

W.est German hostage releasedA West German man held for 20 months in Lebanon

has been freed by his kidnappers. Rudolf Cordes wasfreed in West Beirut hours after his kidnappers said thebusinessman would be released because of the interven-tion of Syria and Iran. The statement said Syrian and Ira-nian officials had assured the Shiite kidnappers theywould aid in -winning the release of two comrades held inWest Germany.

American hostage freedAn American engineer was freed last night, one day af-

ter being kidnapped by gunmen in Lebanon. US officialssaid Kenneth Wells, who works in Saudi Arabia, was tak-en captive in Lebanon on Sunday, but there are conflict-ing reports on how he was freed. One report said Wellsoverpowered his captors. Another said Syrian soldiersfreed him.

Hurricane hits JamaicaJamaica was racked from one end to the other over-

night by Hurricane Gilbert. The storm hit the island with115 mph winds and torrential rains. It ripped roofs offhomes and buildings in Kingston, uprooted trees anddowned power lines. But officials reported no serious in-juries last night.

Next in the storm's path is the resort island of GrandCayman. Planeloads of travelers have been arriving in Mi-ami after cutting their vacations short. One tourist report-ed people running around in the lobby of a hotel "likechickens with their heads cut off."

Editorials, marked as such and printed in a distinctive for-mat, are the official opinion of The Tech. They are written bythe editorial board, which consists of the chairman, editor inchief, managing editor, executive editor, news editors, and opin-ion editor.

Columns and editorial cartoons are written by individuals andrepresent the opinion of the author, not necessarily that of thenewspaper.

Letters to the Editor are welcome. They must be typed doublespaced and addressed to The Tech, PO Box 29, MIT Branch,Cambridge MA 02139, or by interdepartmental mail to RoomW20-483.

Letters and cartoons must bear the authors' signatures, ad-dresses, and phone numbers. Unsigned letters will not be ac-cepted. No letter or cartoon will be printed anonymously with-out express prior approval of The Tech. The Techa reserves theright to edit or condense letters. Shorter letters will be givenhigher priority. We regret we cannot publish all of the letters wereceive.

The term was coming to aclose, and "NB," a student at asmall liberal arts college in Hick-town, USA, wanted to celebrate.Unlike most college students,who might drink a beer or two orsimply jump up and down, NBdecided to take some LSD. Infact, he took nine times the nor-mal dose.

Needless to say, the hallucino-gen took hold, and NB foundhimself on a desert island withthe surf washing up on the shore.He stripped the clothes from hisbody and went wandering alongthe beach (actually outside hisdormitory). Unfortunately forNB, the island natives (actuallythe Hicktown police) interceptedhim. Wearing nothing but a pairof handcuffs, NB informed thenatives of his plight.

The police were excited - theynow had a chance to becomewarriors in the War on Drugs.But these eager soldiers faced atremendous hurdle - NB had noclothing, let alone drugs on hisperson. They needed evidence,and they needed it now. But theFourth Amendment (which pro-hibits warrantless searches) stoodin their way.

'Wait a minute!" exclaimedone member of the Hicktownforce. "If this is a War on Drugs,then we can suspend the Consti-tution. After all, if the CoastGuard can seize boats after find-ing a teaspoon of marijuana andthe government can randomlydrug test us, almost anythingshould be okay."

Convinced that the Constitu-tion was superseded by the War,these eager soldiers conducted asearch of NB's premises (he hadbeen carted off to a hospital).The search proved fruitful - NBhad been growing some marijua-na in his room. But even moreexciting were the substances onhis desk - a white granular pow-der and a large bag of whiterocks. To the casual observerthese would appear to be table

sugar and marble chips, but to asoldier in the War on Drugs thesewere the two main enemies -co-caine and crack!

These newly enlisted soldiersbegan confiscating all relevantevidence from the room - litera-ture on the Soviet Union ("Thosecommies must have something todo with this"), some British andAmerican literature ("It's proba-bly subversive"), and coloredlight bulbs ("This proves he usesdrugs"). The drug warriors alsoconfiscated an answering ma-chine with contained messages inforeign tongues ("This doesn'tsound kosher") and the picturewas complete. The police chiefproudly proclaimed the biggestdrug bust in Hick County historythe next day.

Alas, the warriors could notincarcerate their find immediate-ly. Even though this was war,there was a court system to con-tend'with. The soldiers searchedNB for the enemy, but he testednegative for all drugs (they didnot test for LSD).

They hired expert translators infive languages to decipher an-swering machine messages. Theresults included greetings froman Italian uncle, a Germanfriend, and some unprintable re-marks in French from NB's girl-friend. Code and cipher expertshave been brought in, but neitherheads nor tails can be made ofthe seemingly innocent (yet obvi-ously criminal) communications.

And even though an entire lab-oratory was given the sole task offinding a trace of drugs in NB'spossessions (which they testedgram by gram), they somehowkept showing that cocaine was ta-ble sugar and crack was marblechips.

The soldiers now realize thatNB is a formidable foe - he usessophisticated codes and can de-feat laboratory examinations.They continue to postpone ac-tion, searching for an offensethat will penetrate the enemy and

bring victory to the Forces ofGood. Too much has been invest-ed in this battle to let go now!

NB has been waiting patientlyparrying blows and losing bloodand money of his own. It hasbeen four months now, and all hewants at this point are his col-ored light bulbs, Soviet literature,and a truce in this ridiculous on-going battle.

The War continues...

Andrew L. Fish, a senior in theDepartments of Chemistry andPolitical Science, is editor inchief of The Tech.

To the Editor:I would like to welcome back

MIT graduate students to anoth-er academic year; however, I havesome bad news for you.

Just when we thought it safe tobe graduate students again afterthe 1986 Tax Reform Act, our as-suredness has been shattered.Unlike the TRA, which was an-nounced in advance so that Deanof the Graduate School Frank E.Perkins '55 could budget for in-creased stipends to offset the fed-eral taxation, the Governor andLegislature passed legislation inlate June (when many studentswere away) and made the statetax code conform to the federalcode retroactively to the begin-ning of calendar 1988. Thismeans that we are under-withheldfor the retroactive period, thatno tax relief in the form of in-creased stipends has been budget-ed for fiscal year 1988, and thatit will cost each graduate about$400, probably more for marriedgraduates on a per person basis.

To correct this situation at thestate level, a student write-incampaign to the Governor,Speaker Keverian, and Rep. JohnFlood, chairman of the TaxationCommittee, must be started im-mediately. Write a quick notenow while you are stillmotivated.

The Governor, who is runningas the "education president" (sois his opponent, by the way),must be made aware of this anti-education tax. Speaker Keverianmust be pressed to reconvene theHouse so that a bill to fix thisproblem can be filed. Representa-tive Flood, with whom I have metand will meet again soon, mustbe informed by graduate studentsthat we care about the bad ef-fects of this tax so that a bill can

be written and filed, lest thechange become permanent. Thelonger we delay, the less likelywill be the reversal.

If you want to overturn this"taxation without representa-tion," please write to these peo-ple and to your state representa-tive. To know more about whatcan and will be done, contact theOffice of the Dean of the Gradu-ate School and the Graduate Stu-dent Council office.

On the federal front, Congressis contemplating some "technicalcorrections to the TRA," al-though I do not believe that mak-ing stipends exempt again (Sec-

tion 117) is one of them.Unfortunately, the EmployeeEducation Assistance Program,Section 127, expires this year andwill hurt severely people takingcourses outside their work. Grad-uate students, whose tuition maybe taxed due to Section 127's ex-piration, and workers, whose tu-ition will be certainly taxable,should write and tell them to re-authorize Sections 127 and 117,which made fellowship and RAstipends non-taxable.

Graduate Student CouncilPresident

inportanceTo the Editor:

In her letter ["Showing porndestroys freedoms", Sept. 9],Georgia Nagle contemplates thatbecause 'our founding fathers es-tablished our nation on religiousand moral principles," MIT por-nography policy should adhere tothose principles. She concludesthat "it is a totally immoral useof freedom to show pornographicfilrms on campus, considering themental, emotional, and physicaldamage (including loss of life)which is known to result from[them]."

In my opinion, it is unfortu-nate that such flawed reasoningcan perpetuate itself in this aca-demic environment. If Nagleused similar criteria to evaluatethe morality of an MIT educa-tion, I'm certain she would callon MIT to ban itself, consideringthe mental, emotional and physi-cal damage (including loss of life)which is known to result frombeing an MIT student, as has

of freedomnbeen documented in The Tech inthe past year.

Clearly, such reasoning ignoresthe benefits that can go alongwith such dangers, and is just asincorrect as concluding that be-cause our founding fathers estab-lished this country on the princi-ples of racial inequality, sexualinequality and religious intoler-ance, we should therefore striveto discriminate against blacks,women and people who teachCreationism.

The debate over MIT's pornog-raphy policy is fascinating be-cause it must weigh the benefitsof freedom of expression againstthe potential for personal injuryand anguish. While I admit thatAdam Dershowitz '89 might beirresponsible by showing DeepThroat in order to protest a banon freedom of expression, I be-lieve that taking that freedom forgranted as Nagle does is equallyirresponsible.

BOSTON FILM FESTIVALPresented by USA Cinemas.At the Copley Place Cinema.Thursday, September 15 throughThursday, September 22.

By MANAVENDRA K. THAKUR

T'S THE FIRST day of classes. Every-one is either dreading their firstciass, eagerly anticipating it, orpunting it. But that's what makes it

the perfect time to spend any summer sav-ings on the films being shown later thisweek and next week at the Boston FilmFestival. Problem sets won't be due tillnext Tuesday, and there certainly aren'tany tests to waste time studying for. Andthe best part is that the Festival is lots offun.

Sure it's fun. Who doesn't like to watchmovies? Okay, not everyone likes to watchfilms, but there are some movies in thisyear's Festival too. As a matter of fact, alot of the "films" in this year's festival arereally movies. But why bother with a filmfestival at all? Because it's a fabulous op-portunity to see the types of films thatdon't ordinarily get released. They may besomewhat obscure films, or maybe they'llbe as hard to grasp as Predator or DieHard. But it's all in the spirit of fun andadventure. The Festival is one the few inthe country run by a major theater chain,so the Boston Film Festival isn't nearly as

snotty and elitist as, say the Telluride (Col-orado) film festival.

Here are some tips from a seasoned fes-tival goer to help make it easier (andcheaper).

Split a Director's Series coupon booklet($55 for ten admissions) with a couple of

Several films are being shown on morethan one day, so it's a good idea to checkthe schedule carefully if the screenings onthe first day sell out.

Film distributors routinely use festivalsto test how certain films will do commer-cially. They sometimes have personnelhanging around the screenings. Feel free todump any opinions on these haplessfellows.

it'li be easy to impress friends in themonths ahead by citing a "film that playedat the Boston Film Festival last Septem-ber." This is guaranteed to work at parties

but only if the film hasn't alreadyopened. Because if it has, then some wise-guy will yell across the room "Yeah? I justsaw it yesterday." Yes, everyone knows thefellow's lying, but it'll be damn hard toprove it. Moral: it's better to focus onfilms that won't obviously be released (i.e.any film without Richard Gere or Amy Ir-ving) the day after the festival ends.

Most importantly, check out the reviewsthat will be appearing in the pages of var-ied journalistic publications. They reallywill help separate the worthless junk fromthe truly sublime. The poor Boston areacritics have fizzled their brains away overthe past three weeks to provide this trulyessential service. The ads in the major pa-pers will also list the show times. Checkthem daily for any changes.

Armed with these tips, every moviegoercan hit the big leagues. The Festival only

comes once a year, and it's the beginningof the term. There's no better way to getacquainted with the artistic richness ofBoston while getting to know the intimatecurves of the smudge on the screen in the-ater number three. And that's no joke.

The following films will play thisThi/red~ lc1 1,.t a . ,, f'~lb . En.,i. e,_.:

day's issue of The Tech for reviewsof the weekend films.

WE THE LIVING Somehow, it's not terri-bly surprising that a film made more thanfour decades ago is one of the few goodfilms in the Festival. But it is surprising-considering that this 1942 italian film ad-aptation of the popular Ayn Rand novelwas completed despite Fascist censorshipduring World War II - is well-acted, lav-ishly produced, and expertly directed. It'sfortunate that the Fascist authorities didnot destroy the negatives when theybanned the film five months after its origi-nal release.

Set in Russia during the turbulent early1920s, this tragedy-drama is about a ro-mantic - and political - triangle that de-velops when young college student KiraArgounova (Alida Valli) has to dupe adedicated communist and idealistic Partyofficial named Andrei Taganov (Fosco

Most of the writing, acting, and direc-tion is first-rate: I was impressed at howFrank was not a romanticized crusader forfarm justice. The film is marred, however,by a weak role for Penelope Ann Miller.She plays Sally, a defense lawyer's daugh-ter and more of a plot device than a char-acter. Too conveniently, she falls in lovewith Terry on first sight. Since she figuresmost prominently at the end of the story, I

(Andrea Dworkin'sand other revolutionary feminists' theorieson sexual penetration have never seemedmore vividly valid than in this film.)

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM It's hardto tell whether director Ken Russell is seri-ously trying to scare people with his latestexploration of extremes, or if he's just be-ing silly. But it's clear he hasn't lost histouch for outraging or shocking his audi-ence. Lair of the White Worm is an ener-getic conglomeration of shocking imagesthat, surprisingly enough, actually hassome coherence. Fans of Russell's previousefforts (Tommy, Altered Sfates) will likethis kinetic offering much more than lastyear's Gothic or the recent Salome's LastDance.

Based on a 1911 novel by Bram Stoker,Lair tells .-- with typical Russellian goodtaste - a story about a modern-day clashbetween paganism and Christianity. Ayoung English archaeologist (Peter Ca-paldi) finds a prehistoric skull, which-(somehow) allows Lady Sylvia Marsh(Amanda Donohoe), a high priestess of asnake cult, to undertake a ritual whichawakens a huge hibernating worm. Sparksfly, venom flows, and long incisors bitenecks as good battles evil.

Russell is at his best during the three orfour dream sequences, when Lady Sylvia'spagan goons terrifyingly assault the hero-

enough inflection in his voice at times, buthis manner was justly confident, right upto his fulsome bow Murray was accompa-nied by pianist Beverly Gibbons. Her styleof ivory-tickling was such that one wouldassume that she was taking pains not todraw attention away from him. For thefirst three songs, she played just enoughnotes to periodically remind the audienceof her presence, but the opening chord ofthe fourth one was nearly deafening.

Murray also belted out a resoundingrendition of Dover Beach, somewhat simi-lar to Mtelodies but in English. This time,he was accompanied by the Quartet, whodid an admirable job accentuating the vo-cals, but I still had trouble with some ofthe words.

After the intermission, the group per-formed the last piece of the evening, Bar-ber's String Quartet Op. II, a beautifuland impassioned work. The second move-ment, Molto Adagio, was the most gor-geous of all. So ended a partly pining,partly peppy, sometimes harried, alwaysvaried medley of musical merriment.

Strinag Quartet, a delightful romp acrossthe octaves._The beginning was a slow andpoignant one, with stirring strains. Thesecond movement, was livelier, more emo-tional. There was one plucked [pizzicato]section in this movement that soundedsomething like the Twilight Zone theme.

Next on the agenda was Melodies Passa-geres, an operatic collection of shortFrench songs. They were sung by DavidMurray, who has a magnificent baritonevoice, although I needed the text to under-stand a word he was saying. He held on tosome notes for too long, and there wasn't

ther is shortchanged, and neither over-shadows the other. The film is a romantictragedy, a political tract, and a historicaldocument all in one. And although thenovel could easily have been adapted intoa stage play due to the small number ofcharacters and locales, the film's use ofcinematic tools such as close-ups and edit-ing serve the narrative well. The film is byno means a timeless classic of internation-al cinema, but it certainly has a power andvalue of its own.

manages to etch out its themes, and thefilmmakers have no idea what to do withall the small touches they've put in.

Some sparks do fly when Arnaud con-fesses his guilt to Pierre's fiance, Hen-riette. But the film focuses way too muchon Pierre's non-exploits in battle, when itshould focus on Arnaud, whose internalfeelings are the only interesting aspect ofthis film. The film could have helped toshed some dispassionate light on an explo-sive issue, but it seems content with arriv-ing at the right place and time with abso-lutely nothing to say.

Opening night films nor yet seen by TheTech's critics include the following:

SALAAM, BOMBAY Mira Nair's highlyacclaimed film Salaam, Bombay exploresthe life of street children in Bombay, In-dia. It won the prized Camera d'or awardat this year's Cannes Film Festival, and ithas already been compared to Bunuel'sLos Olvidados. Salaam, Bombay promisesto be one of the major highlights of thisyear's film festival.

PAPERHOUSE The Festival will also pre-sent the American premiere of BernardRose's Paperhouse, a psychological thrillerabout a young girl's harsh life and secretfantasies. It stars Charlotte Burke andGlenne Healy.

(Continued from page 12)came away thinking of her poor character-ization, not the film's better points. It'stoo bad that the writer, Chris Gerolmo,couldn't bring Miles Fronm Home anotherstep away from melodrama by developinghis heroine more.

Seth Gordon

THE KITCHEN TOTO Why is it thatfilmmakers can't seem to make a filmabout black Africans without throwing insome white characters for audiences tochew on? Films like A World Apart, WhiteMischief, Cry Freedom, and Out of Africahave either shamelessly ignored the blackmajority or portrayed grossly diluted ver-sions of black experiences in Africa. TheKitchen Toto is only somewhat more suc-cessful at maintaining its integrity.

It's about a young boy named Mwangi(Edwin Mahinda) who goes to work as aservant for a white police officer (BobPeck) in early-1950s Kenya, which wasthen under British rule. A rebellion move-ment, led by a secretive terrorist societycalled Mau Mau, had begun after the endof WWII and resulted in numerous grislymachete-murders. Mwangi finds his loyal-ties divided when he and the other blackservants are pressured by Mau Mau intokilling whites to fight colonial rule.

The film is a reasonably fair debut fea-ture by writer-director Harry Hook (whogrew up in Kenya), and the drama is ap-propriately understated rather than polem-ical. Still, the film focuses largely on by-standers in the rebellion and never showsthe rebels as anything more than ciphers.The film could have been more successfulas an intimate portrayal if only it had fo-cused more on the master/servant rela-tionship between Mwangi and the officer's

young son (who ends up shooting his ownmother during a skirmish). Instead, thefilm's point of view vacillates from blacks'to whites', and the power of the film isaccordingly diluted.

TRACK 29 Nicolas Roeg loves to erase thedistinction between reality and fantasy.This film is about a bored alcoholic house-wife (Theresa Russell, Roeg's real-lifewife) who desparately wants to break themonotony of her marriage to an older

The fantasy part concerns a young man(Gary Oldman, who vividly portrayed SidVicious in Sid and Nancy) who claims tobe the long lost son of Russell. He's acreepy chap, alternating between childishoutbursts and semi-rational comments. It'senough to make Russell (and viewers)doubt whether he really exists. Oldmancreates a bizarre sexual tension betweenhim and Russell, and ultimately gives Rus-sell enough courage to violently changeher life for the better. Or at least that'swhat it seems on first glance.

Track 29 borrows many motifs from Al-fred Hitchcock's Psycho, including an ee-rie house. Roeg's film can't match the psy-chological impact of Hitchcock'smasterpiece, but at least Track 29 is morecoherent than the other Roeg film in theFestival, Castaway. Track 29 offers somevivid images (Oldman smashing baby dollsbetween onrushing model trains), and thecharacters aren't as completely offensiveas in Castaway. Stanley Myers' music isparticularly subtle and sensitive.

CHAMP D'HONNEUR {FIELD OFHONOR] It's 1869 and the Franco-Prus-sian War is heating up. A young peasantnamed Pierre decides to sell his lucky lot-tery number, which ensures he won't bedrafted, to a young wealthy fellow namedArnaud Florent. Pierre goes off to war inArnaud's place and dies. Arnaud's con-science eventually wakes up, and he learnsof Pierre's "destiny" on the dav he joinsup.

can put higher education withinthe reach of almost any qualifiedstudent," College Board Presi-dent Donald M. Stewart told TheChronicle of Higher Education.

Stewart added that a total of$24 billion in scholarships, loans,and work-study assistance wouldbe available this academic year.

Julianne Still Thrift, executive

vice president of the National As-sociation of Independent Col-leges and Universities, told TheChronicle that she was not sur-prised by the fact that tuition atmany private schools was risingfaster than inrflation. In order toattract low-income and minoritystudents, private colleges areguaranteeing the availability offinancial aid - $2 billion in insti-tutional aid last year.

"Given the option of meetingJ...a ~--. ----- ~ L. .illt UILIOIIs.ud.znt needu u! having a '-ui.i...increase, or by freezing tuitionand closing out large numbers ofstudents, we're going to increasetuition," she said.

Part of the reason MIT's tu-ition rose as much as it did wasbecause the administration decid-ed to keep the self-help level -the amount an undergraduate isexpected to earn during the year-at $4,900 for the fourth yearin a row. If the self-help level hadrisen by more, low-income stu-dents might be discouraged fromattending MIT, James J. Culli-ton, vice president of financialoperations, said last spring.

Drexel University, filed a $1.5million lawsuit in September 1986charging the Institute withbreaching his First Amendmentrights by denying him tenure onpolitical, not academic, grounds.

Claire Kramsch resigned herpost as head of the foreign lan-guages and literatures section ofthe Department of Humanitieseffective June 30. Kramsch saidshe perceived a "breakdown incommunications" regarding therole of foreign languages at MITand felt she "could not give anyleadership to the sectionanymore."

Kramsch was concerned aboutrecent changes in the FLL curric-ulum that have taken place as aresult of the revisions to the Hu-manities, Arts, and Social Sci-ences requirement that were ap-proved by the faculty last May.Kramsch feared some of thechanges conflicted with the goalsof language teaching.

A. Bartlett Giamatti, soon tobe commissioner of baseball,gave the commencement address,urging students to "have thecourage to connect with peopleof all ideologies." Students mustbe open to all forms of discus-sion, Giamatti said.

'The enemy of a university isX . nX .... -'-+ot disagree-

Record number of minorities

A concerted effort by the Ad-missions Office produced a re-cord number of underrepresentedminority students among thisyear's freshman class. The num-ber of such students rose from132 last year to 175 this year -an increase of 33 percent. Theminority students include 88blacks, 55 Mexican-Americans,21 Puerto Ricans, and 11 NativeAmericans.

At the same time, the percent-age of incoming women was de-clined somewhat from the recordset two years ago. Thirty-threepercent of the Class of 1992 are

Rejecting these arguments, theOffice of the Dean for StudentAffairs suspended Pi LambdaPhi's rush privileges for the fall.The house was allowed to rushupperclassmen and transfer stu-dents this R/O Week, but itfailed to gain a single pledge. Itmay be allowed to house fresh-men in the spring.

Kang, Ola face charges

An MIT student was chargedearly last month with assault andbatter with a dangerous weap-on, kidnapping, and attemptedrape. Thomas S. Kang '91, whosethroat was slashed by the womanhe allegedly tried to abduct, filedcounter-charges saying that hewas instead the victim of an un-provoked attack.

Maria Foppiano, an Arlingtonwoman, claimed Kang attackedher on Harvard Bridge at 2:30am on August 9. According toFoppiano, Kang grabbed her anforced her to a baseball field atthe corner of Memorial Driveand Brookline Street. Foppianohad a razor in her purse, andsliced Kang's throat with it. Dur-ing the struggle, Foppiano alsosuffered minor facial woundsfrom the razor.

Kang charged that Foppianowas the aggressor. In his state-ment, he stated that Foppiano at-tacked him without provocation,inflicting a sharp and deepwound to his throat. Kang hassince recovered from the injuriesand is free on his own recog-

When a member of the audi-ence asked if the protesters' ob-jection was to pornography ingeneral or simply to DeepThroat, another demonstratorsaid that if the film were "ero-tica" with mutually consentedacts she would not be upset.

"I'm showing this film becauseof the policy of censorship atMIT," Dershowitz responded."There is a small group of peoplewho want to say this stuff is badin their eyes so you should notsee it." Any definition of pornog-raphy is arbitrary, Dershowitz ar-gued, and he noted that oppo-nents of pornography simplylabeled acceptable films as ero-tica. Individuals should decidewhether they want to see thefilm, he asserted.

A leaflet distributed by theprotesters argued that "the de-bate over the MIT pornographypolicy has recently been reducedto a mindless sparring match be-tween Dershowitz and the admin-istration." The leaflet said "whenthe issue is the exploitation ofwomen, we do not have to sidewith either group of these fight-ing boys. We can create our ownsolution together."

"The issues raised by pornog-raphy's exploitation have been allbut ignored," the leaflet said. Itattacked MIT for "failing to actin support of women students un-til pushed to do so" and thenseeking "an easy way out of asticky situation."

The leaflet called for: regularprogramming to discuss pornog-raphy, sexism and harassment;the development of a more con-sistent, long term pornographypolicy; and record keeping of ha-rassment complaints along with awritten policy for handling seri-ous cases of sexual or racialharassment.

Approximately 50 peoplewatched Deep Throat after theprotesters left.

Applications to MIT rose onepercent to a record 7436. Twenty-five percent of the applicantswere admitted. There are about1010 freshmen this year.

Other news

A controversial housing policywhich set aside "untenured"rooms for first-year graduate stu-dents was cancelled by the Officeof Housing and Food Services inJuly. In a letter sent to all unten-... d~ e,.: ...t. off vEastgate, V'U st-

gate, and tang Hall, the HousingOffice stated that "all assign-ments made to campus housingwhich were previously designateduntenured have automaticallybeen changed to tenured ones."Had the policy remained in ef-fect, untenured residents wouldhave been forced to move out oftheir apartments by August 31.

Former faculty member DavidNoble filed a motion at the endof last term in Massachusetts Su-perior Court to lift confidential-ity restrictions from documentspertaining to MIT's decision todeny him tenure in 1984.

The documents reveal "a ma-jor scandal," according to No-ble's attorney. "I have never seena process rigged like this," hesaid.

Noble, now a professor at

nizance.A probable hearing case in the

attack has been scheduled forOctober 7.

Another student, Uche O. Ola'90, faces a pre-trial conferencetoday. He is accused of 32 countsof larceny involving the theft of$50,000 worth of Institute com-puter equipment that was foundin his room at the end of lastterm.

Ola pleaded not guilty at hisarraignment in East CambridgeDistrict Court on May 9. He hasa tentative trial date of Octoberii0

The arrest came in the midst ofgrowing campus concern overequipment security. Computertheft rose from $38,000 in 1986to $140,000 in 1987, according tothe Campus Police.

Gray, Giamatti address graduates

President Paul E. Gray '54 toldgraduating students that theireducation was "more than a mealticket" and should be used toserve "the public interest and thecommon good." Gray's remarkswere at MIT's 122nd commence-ment on May 27. A total of 1733students received 1899 degrees atthe ceremony.

"You, above most others inthis society, possess the gift of re-markable intellect, enriched andenabled by superb education,"Gray said. "Yours is the obliga-
