Rent controls endorsedby Housing Convention

By Bob DennisThe second Cambridge Housing Convention called for strong rent control

regulations for Cambridge in a mass meeting Saturday.At the convention, held in St. Mary's Hall in Central Square, progress reports

and recommendations were heard from the subcommittees appointed at the firstconvention held in September.

The meeting was attended by more than 200 persons, mostly elderly. Theattendence did not come near the number who attended the first meeting atwhich demands were made for action on the lack of low-rent housing for theelderly and charges were brought against the student housing policies of the

m- universities.

Daniel C. Connelly, convention chairman, told those assembled that: "Rentcontrol is not only possible and legal, but also absolutely essential in Cambridge if

.. ... .. we are to prevent the 50 percent increase in rents in the next tow years that has;· i t.3~4 - happened in the past two years."

Connelly went on o report that, "Unfortunately, we have no firmcommitments to the report today," but that meetings had- been held with cityboards and university officials on the subject.

Three Cambridge City Councilmen, including MITr Professor Thomas H. D.Mahoney, have gone on record in favor of the proposed regulations.

Rents frozenThe draft of the rent-control regulations was prepared by a subcommittee

chaired by Sister Loretta Monaghan and AMrs. Nell Baun. The purpose of the~- proposed regualtions would be to have all rents in Cambridge frozen at the

No commitmentsInmanother report, Rev. Richard Butler; chairman of the University Negotiating

Team, said that the meetings with Harvard and MIT have produced no firmcommitments.

In an interview following the convention, Father Butler discussed some of themajor aspects of the negotiations. He reports that MIT seems cooperative, andHarvard less co-operative, toward malking some of thei residential units availableto the Leased Housing Program. Regarding a commitmntent of the universities tocease purchasing residential housing, he has received assurancefrom MITthfat most,but not all, of their future purchases will be in industrial areas but zrets thatHarvard has refused to discuss the matter.

As tor his hopes for future progress, Father uEtler declares that, although heremains dubious of Harvard's sincerity, "MIT has come a little closer tounderstanding its responsibility" and that the two sides are beginning to progresstoward common terms.

Since the last convention, the Cambridge City Council has appointed a specialcommittee to investigate and recommend on the problems of low-rent housing forthe elderly.

Kennedy rewarded Sargent for his excellent work b;offering him the directorship of all National Park Services."I debated the thihg, but decided to turn it down. I missedNew England, and I missed the climate here at the StateHouse." Later on, for the same reasons, he turned down anoffer from then Gov. Pat Brown of California to becomeDirector of Parks and Recreation in that state.

"By this time, I had made up my mind to becomeGovernor." He began his quest in 1962 in an unsuccessfulrun for a State Senate seat from Cape Cod. Within the next'year, however, Governor Endicott Peabody named SargentAssociate Commissioner of the Department of PublicWorks. When Governor Volpe wort the State House for thesecond time in 1964, he promoted Sargent to theCommissioner's job.

In 1966, when Elliot Richardson stepped down asLieutenant Governor to run for Attorney General, Sargentwon the Republican nomination for the post after a bitterfight and went on the win the election after what "TheBoston Globe" called a "tireless, imaginativre campaign."

Now that the prize has fallen to him, Sargent feels surerthan ever of his motto: "Everything comes to him who'waits - provided he works like hell while he's waiting."While having to serve as acting governor for about half thetime during the past several months (including thetension-filled days following the assassination of Dr. IMartinLuther King) during Governor Volpe's ubiquitous travels insupport of Richard Nixon, Sargent has also been recognizedas the most available public speaker in the state. "Nobodyever died of overwork. If you can achieve what yjmre after,it makes it worthwhile."

By Bob DennisAn MIT graduate will be assuming the reins of

Massachusetts government as soon as governor John Volpeleaves for Washington to assume his post as Secretary ofTransportation. Francis W. Sargent, who has beenLieutenant Governor for two years, graduated in theDepartment of ArchiteCture in 1939.

Hie received a special degree since he chose to leave afterfour years in the five-year program. He had been on theDean's List each year and received a scholastic prize. Afterworking briefly for a Boston architectural fimn, Sargentenlisted in the U.S. Infantry and earned a bronze star duringhis service in northern Italy.

An example of the oft-heard axiom that one's collegemajor often has little relation to one's career, Sargentrelated that, after the war, "the last thing I wanted to dowas to go back to architecture or go into politics." Instead,he opened a sporting goods store on Cape Cod. He ran acharter boat and became involved in commercial fishing.After being an outspoken critic of certain fisn-operations,Governor Robert Bradford appointed him Director ofMarine Fisheries. He spent the next ten years in that postand in his subsequent role as Commissioner of NaturalResources.

In the late 1950's, President Eisenhower asked Sargentto become director of a special Federal Outdoor RecreationResources Review Commission. Sargent recalls: 'Theassignment lasted four years and I liked it. It gave mecontacts in all states and I got friendly with the eightcongressmen on the commission."

80 girls atsekBy Karen Wattel

About 80 girls from Vassar, SarahLawrence, Wheaton, and Smithdescended on Calhoun College at Yaleso that they and Yale -could"experience rather than study"coeducation.

Many hope that the coeducationweek (the second to be held at Yalehis year) will help to smooth the way

te housing the upperclass coeds with&e rest of the upperclassmen inseparate entries of the existingColleges, by showing that it is possibleand feasible to live in such a setup.

The girls, mostly freshmen andSophomores, many planning to applyto transfer to Yale for next year,arrived Monday evening after spendingonly a day back at their owninstitutions after ThanksgivingVacation, and were housed for theWeek in rooms around the Calhoun quad vacated by obliging Yalies. Asseveral of the girls remarked, "I wasmore than happy to escape again" and,"This is just so much morestimulating."

Livelier PlaceOver 5000 inquiries from women

have been processed in the last threeWeeks in response to Yale's recentannouncement that it would accept250 female freshmen and 250 femaletransfers for the next academic year.Dean of Undergraduate Admissions atYale, R. Inslee Clark noted that theyexpect to receive about 1500 to 2000Qapplicants for each set of 250 places.

Room 6-120 was again the scene of lively discussionFriday afternoaon as the seminar "The Scientist and Man"took up the question of "The Decision to Drop the Bomb."

Dr. Victor F. Weisskopf, Head of the PhysicsDepartment, began the session by stating that he was "verysorry I wasn't here last week as I'm told I missed aperformance of the Living Theatre," he said in reference tolast week's heated discussion. He allowed the students todiscuss broader areas of interest this week.; last week, Dr.I.I. Rabi, Compton Professor of Physics, restricted thequestions to the decisions of the scientist based on what heknew at the time that the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

Professor Weisskopf started with a defense of hisattitude. He felt that the bomb was necessary, saying, "Wewould not have been able to impress the world with itsterrible power if the bomb had not been used." He feelsthat the .present hesitance of the world in using atomicweapons is due to the impression made by Hiroshima.

Professor Weisskopf then continued with a discussion otthe scientist's role in nuclear disarmament. He presented thetwo basic doctrines of the scientific community - theDuBridge theory and the Pauling theory. The former,named for the president of Cal Tech, Lee DuBridge, tries towork within the prevailing power structure by slowlygaining control and then using influence to turn the headsof the world leaders to peace.

The latter plan, named for Nobel prize laureate LinusPauling, assumes that the attack on the military-industrialcomplex must come from without, by showing thegovernment the strong opinion that the scientificcommunity has on the-question of disarmament.

A student then asked what type of pressures a scientistcould put on the government. For example, what would bethe administration's view if, for moral reasons, a scientistrefused to work on a scientific project. Professor Rabianswers, "If he resigned, another man would take his place.

The fellows,representing both the departments inthe University and figures from theoutside world, such as Norman Mailer,often lunch in the colleges and come into conduct special seminars.

Classes are held regularly -in thecolleges too. The masters open theirhomes in the colleges to the studentsfor tea and cookies, intellectualstimulation, pleasant company, andadvice.

AcademicsFormal grades have been exchanged

for a pass-with-honors, high pass, pass,etc. system with the hope that therewill be less grade-grubbing.Except in afew cases where the teacher just has nocomprehension of the system, the Yalestudents feel, the system does workbetter than numbers and letters.Students are required to complete acertain number of courses (18) ratherthan compile a given quota of credits.

A number of students each year areallowed to become scholars of thehouse which exempts them from allformal classes and grades for the year.They spend time working on anoutlined project which they present toan evaluation committee at the end ofthe year.

y YaleTradition exerts its influence

despite the modern world standing ofthe University. "The Game" (Harvardvs. Yale) is a strong tie on the campus.Academic and social societies (openand secret) make life more pleasant(the Elizabethan Society is Open tomembers daily for tea, cookies, and,company). They keep communicationlines open (the Aurelian society hasgood weekly lunches for itsmembership which includes. importantstudents from all aspects of life at Yaleas well as faculty and administrationmembers). They exist also in otherforms and for other purposes (as Skulland Bones and the several smallYale-Vassar t-groups.)

Coed RoleIn some of these traditions the

coeds will have no trouble fitting. Inothers it may take many years. Thestudents in general look forward tohaving girls in their classes. The girlslook forward to being part of a goodschool with immediate high-class malecompanionship.

It will be interesting to see to whatextent the Yale coeds will become anintegrated part of the academiccommunity-intellectual equals of theboys; and to what extent they willmaintain a strict male-female sense aswas very evident throughout theweek.

By Karen WattelNorman Mailer, a small man in a

dark three-piece suit, entered the livingroom of the Master's house at Yale,December 4.

Quietly and expectantly theaudience of about 30 college studentswaited as he settled himself in acomfortable chair with his tall drink.Quietly he explained that since heplanned to deal with black power whenhe spoke to a large group after dinner,he wanted to discuss the left and SDS.

As the audience had not yet caughtthe rhythm of this seance, Mailerbegan to speak. Chicago was verymuch on his mind, even after his bookabout it. He was also very conscious ofhis own role, "more journalist thanparticipant."

Fielding questions from the floor,Mailer noted that Humphrey wouldhave incited the people more thanNixon will, maybe because people willexpect less of Nixon. He suggested thatwe give the President-elect a chancebefore jumping on him. Having beenout of office for eight years and feelinga greater necessity for a more organizedstructure, the Republicans may have awell-organized socio-economictechno-program. Mailer theorized.

Refusing to talk about writing,Mailer -dodged, "I haven't met aliterary man yet who will say why hewrites. We just write." But he was moreeager to talk about his newest media ofcommunication, the movie. (He hasjust produced "Wild 90" and "Beyondthe Law" in which he acted, directedthe acting, and edited the film.) In thefilm, Mailer said, more can be said thanin linear book media in which a fewnotions are the limit. If he wanted tomake a western, he explained he wouldlook around at the people he knew,finding the western traits theyexhibited. He would gather thesepeople, set the situation up for them,and leave them and a good filmmakerto construct the rest. At the end hewould edit it. "Seeing what people's

speaks4idea of something is as valuable asseeing it," Mailer concluded.

Disliked mikeThat evening after dinner he

addressed a packed dining room ofabout 300. "Since I'm opposed toelectronics i'd like to see how long Ican go without it (not turning on hismicrophone at first, and then turning.iton.) You see the -difference. Thetrouble is your nervous systems havebeen attuned to it." Throughout histalk he continued to jibe both hisaudience and their society.

After being hissed Mailer returnedstrongly; "Dare your opposition early.You will be disliked but you willremain substantial. Since you are allYalies, it is important that you remainsubstantial." A couple of sentenceslater he threw at the audience, "-'Beforewe begin, let's get into the footballgame, "which he saw as a Harvardman.Continuing to talk about The Game,Mailer teased, "They won't becauseHarvard was good, but because Yalewas being punished. It was beingpunished because it was a left-winginstitution."

Getting on into the poltical game,"You realize that if Richard Nixonwere not President, you would havenothing between you and the guillotinebut triple hips." Mailer picturedHumphrey as scuttling back and forth

between the right and the left. '"Thedilemma, now, of the right," Mailercountered, "is that they may have togo in and fight for Richard Nixon."And speaking of the state of theaudience, "If you kids can't play mychanges, what are you going to dowhen the right wind takes over? Theyhave nothing but changes."

Much of the evening was taken upas Mailer read from a not yet printedarticle he wrote for Life, from MalcolmX, from Leroi Jones, and from othersources. From his own, "Our Americanmass media language is no moreequipped to describe black power thanit is to describe a ... trip to themoon." "Progress," he said, "dependson anesthesizing the past. The problemis, what if we're not interested inprogress?"

Answering a question Mailesquipped, "The American middle classmay not be the enemy. It may be themanagerial class ... Or there may beno enemy." Focusing often ontechnology Mailer charged that"Technological America is programmedto live only with the answers" and is"incapable of facing death, dread, realdanger, or black power." The black,Mailer said, have a tight to seek analternative and should be encouragedto set up their own local government,industries, and life.

And, just like clockwork, we aredisappointed. So, here we find ourselves, at the endof another year, with another handful of'achieve-ments which are probably best left ignored. How-ever, we'll give you all one more chance to mendyour ways. if you don't, don't say we didn't warnyou.

way to aid the situation would be torelabel some existing courses assatisfying that requirement. This iswhat the CEP Task Force recommends.1 feel, as did many people whoattended the open meeting, that newcourses must be developed. These newcourses could cover the same materialin existing courses in a different way ornew material altogether. There doesseem to be practical resistance amongthe departments to provide time,effort, and funds in order to developcourses for students outside of theirown department. In many cases,individual students can push for a newcourse and receive a positive answer.The initiative required to formulateideas and see them through to thedevelopment of a new course might beso difficult that it discourages freshideas.

I would 'lice to propose that thefaculty form a new committee thatwould operate with student membersto facilitate the development of newcourses. It would have the samrne statureas CEP or the Committee onEnvironment. It would solicit studentinput at open meetings or in writing, aswell as propose its own ideas. It shouldevaluate suggestions in sufficient detailto allow the department to decide ifsuch a course would appeal tosufficient numbers of students andfaculty but would not have to plan thecomplete curriculum. Thus, it wouldact as a funnel for ideas in an efficientway for the MIT departments. It couldalso provide pressure where necessary ifthe resources are lacking. Such acommittee would, if successful,recreate many times the kind of eventsthat lead to the development of theRindge Teaching Seminar. Forexample, the committee could lookinto a course in the history of sciencein the wave-particle controversy. Thismight placate certain humanitiesmajors as.well as proirde an approachthat would attract large numbers ofphysics majors.

To the Editor:

I trust you recogrde, more thanyour editorial of Nov. 26 indicates,that there are a number of reasons forkeeping a core requirement inchemistry-broader acquaintance with'students and staff in other areas thanones own, a better feeling for how achemist thinks and views his world,greater freedom later to minor in fieldssuch as biology, chemistry, materials,medicine, or pollution-control, easierchanging to one of those fields as amajor, and an introduction to a sciencecomplex enough so that much of itwill, for'a generation anyway, have tobe handled and often developed in aless rigorous way than mathematics orphysics (although not all chemistswould agree with me). Are thesereasons not also vralid, with otherweighting factors, for students inarchitecture, city planning,management, and humanities and socialsciences? To be sure, these objectivesare not now being perfectly met, evenwith the current alternatives to 5.01.They could also be met in other ways,but will they be, and at what cost?

Will you forgive my quoting anincident in a democratic (2) meeting, asdefined in Paul Beckerman's letter ofNov. 22? After balancing these factorsagainst the difficulties with the presentsubject and the advantages of moreelective freedom, the. mechanicalengineering faculty last year votedunanimously to the effect that it wouldwish to require a chemistry subject, ifone could be developed that wouldserve better than 5.01 to help students

Dear Professor French,As you know, I attended the two

open meetings of the CEP task Forcewhere the proposed changes in GeneralInstitute Requirements were presented.In fact, I was on a committee thatpresented another proposal. Manysuggestions were made at these opennaetings, but one unifying themeoccurred to me. Any system ofrequirements does indeed powe burdensto the student and justifiably so. Formany people (either throughimnmaturity or ignorance) the conceptof General Institute Reqguiements is tothe students' long range good. Themain drawback of a system that wouldremove all requirements is thetheoretical and practical emphasis ofrelying on the experiences of oneperson, i.e. the advisor, when a studenttries to form a satisfactory program.

The main avenue of compromisebetween a policy of no requirementsvs. some requirements is to make thecourses that satisfy the reqguirementsattractively interesting. Thenrequirements will not be viewed withthe presently applied stigma of'encroachment upon personal

freedsom." One way that courses maybe made attractively interesting is tolisten to student feedback. This is apart of most of the freshmen coresubjects and the Student Committee onEducational Policy has done extensivework in this area, as well as theprofesors in charge of the courses.

I do see, however, somethinglacking in the MIT system at thepresent time. That is, the selection ofcourses is numerically chafinmg (for aspecific example, courses satisfying theScience Distribution Requirement asviewed by Humanities, PolificalScience, or Economics majors). One

~0 the editor,Recently I had occasion to visit a

ocal eastern institute, where I~erheard the following interestingOnversation. ThEe setting was thie officef the Dean of Student Adnassion.

',Why, come in Miss Jenkins. Wh at

Day I do for you?""As you know, Dean, I represent

he Women Student Union. We've beenavestatdig the tuaation here at Tech,id we've uncovered some rather

iscouraging statistics. Did you knowhat, whereas 5 1% of this nation's

population is female, the ratio of girls'

here is only about 5%? WSU has drawn

up a list of demands, steps which weexpect the administration to pursue torectify. this tragic and morallyreprehensible situation.

"But Miss Jenkins, this is ascientificly oriented school. You can't.expect us to accept the proper ratio ofgirls."

"Do you dare to suggest that thefemale sex is inferior?"

"Of course not. I'm only sayingthat, because of the way our society isstructured, most girls do-not receive astrong enough scientific education tosuccessfully compete with boys foradmission."

"Dean, I didn't come here to listento a lot of excuses. Our demands canbe summed up by two main proposals:to be certain that girls have every

5:00 pm or later, rather than in themorning?

Briefly, I feel that 8:00 am quizzesare an unnecessary inconvenience overwhich students have little power ofprotest, and that the matter should bepetitioned to -whoever has to be peti-tioned.

To the editor:

While neither student, alumnus, orprofessor, I am an occasional visitorand friend of MiT; and, perhaps, you'lllet me add a comment to a recentarticle in The Tech by Charles Mamnn.

In the searching for ways towardcommunity identity and involvement,may I suggest a thought for a programof explaining science to localunderpivileged Cambidge anoRstonkids say on the high school level theteaching being done not by 'iacultypeople but by MIT student -volunteeared MIT students. This is notto suggest that there is anythingwanting wit the former. The MITfaculty has no peer.

Somebody has said that the learningprocess includes teaching others quiteas much as being taught to. And anexciting picture of dialog betweenmany, amny, and many mliing kidsand their MIT meators, freshly attainedresponsibities probably easily borne,springs to mind.

Of course, there'd have to be someground rules. Let the children - notthe school teachers - select their ownrepresentafives to come. And Saturdaysonly. And all The braries left inviolate.Verboten; sacrosanct to the MITers.But these are things that have a way offimding solutions.

chance of applying, we want a morecomprehensive program of recruitmentand financial aid to potential womenstudents, and to guarantee trueequality, we want 51% of next year'sfreshman class to be women."

"I can agree with the principlebehind your fnrst demand. Womenstudents should be given everyopportunity to attend our Institute.But your second demand is morallyunjust; it amounts to prejudice. If wehave trouble meeting your quotabecause few girls are applying, wewould be forced to accept studentswho may possess no otherqualifications than the gender of theirsex. Should I be considering twopeople for admission, one boy and onegir, I could be compelled to decide infavor of the gir, even though the boymight be far more qualified and far

more likely to succeed. Don't you findthat 'morally reprehensble'? After all.neither that boy nor this Institute isresporasile for any of seiety'sprejudices. Why should we_ atone forthem?"

"I said I wouldn't hear anydoubletalk. This is a black and whiteissue;'there are no shades of grey. Youeither meet our demands or suffer theconsequences."'

Since then, I've been watching thenewspapers, waiting to see how theInstitute would react.

Early quizzes

To the Editor:

I am appealing for some crusader totake up the cause of seeing that 8:00am quizzes are prohibited in coursesnot regularly scheduled at that time.Besides the widely-felt inconvenienceof early-morning quizzes, Qthee'areseveral good reasons for' disallowingthem. For example, students who com-mute are frequently forced to contendwith pre-7:30 am public transportationwhich is (at besO unreliable. Anaotherreason: Performances on other quizzesscheduled the same day suffer becauseof the disruption of the dailywork-sleep cycle (as well as because ofthe loss of sleep). And when are stu-dents supposed to eat breakfast? Cer-tainly most breakfasts are served be-tween 7:30 and 9:30. but this is thetime students must spend traveling ortesting.

In general, it appears that the rea-son for most 8:00 am quizzes is a largecourse enrollment which makes sched-uling at other times during the daydifficult or impossible. In these cases,why can't the quiz be scheduled at

bus shelters, etc. The architects for this project (The Cambridge 7) willdiscuss background and progress to date. The Client Team and PlanningOffice encourage all interested members of the MIT community to attend.

We stock, sell and service the very best in audio components, many more than we could list above, and at prices as low or lower than anyone

in the area, on compacts all the way to Marantz. (Example: AR 25% off list.)

Come hear the speaker system that is the envy of the Cambridge "establishment" ... fhe Bose 901, or come see a beautiful 180 watt integ

Their albumssince Revolver, and tthier movies since Help!,9? have been fartoo self-findulgent - a Uistener/viewer is reminded of JohnaLennon's reply to an interviewer's question, "D~o you haveto be inspired to wrrite your songs?"

script was prepared. The: director went to further, however; thme characters' actionswere left to the actors to decide. Up to six cam-eras were placed in differentlocations, so they could do things as they feit them Mith few interruptions forsetting things uap. And the result was a true group effort, plus scenes looking everybit as unplanned as the events they are supposed to portray.

Even the expfositiora of the situation is accomplished through longstretches of dialogue, rather than a sequence of short establishing scenes.

Close-ups Predominate

Photography, f~mally, is a point that can hardly be mlissed. In most movies,characters are generall shot at medium distance; close-ups are: reserved for raremlomentss of great emotion, since their overuse tends to make the presenace of the

.;amnerarmanl too obvious. rCassavetes, however, uses close-ups a-lmost continually.Their success is, if nothing more, surprising; but, then, the Mmm is. conciernedmainly with immediate emotions, which are most effective at close range.Encomapassting not only the characters, but the objects around them as well, theclose shots are the film's most distinctive, pervading feature, and theyundoubt'edly give it its name.

Faces, in conclusion, is basicatlly a film about a middle-aged sulburbanm coupgle,and some people arournd them. It will mean the most to the sort of people it isabout -burt its effect should not be lost on anyone. Youe've (probably), nevrer seenanything Uke it,

Sunday afternoon Pension FundConcert at Syrmphany H~all providedJoan Sutherland with the oppoftunityto make~ her fffist appea~rance with theorchestra. She was joinedc by conductorKSichard Bonysnge, hear husband, andAnastasios V~renios, tenor, in a programof eighteenth and nineteenth century"furn" music. The program vasunabashedly light weight, and nopre-tensions were made aboutseriousness, wit the result th1at,theconcert provided a pleasant afternoonbut not much more hi' the way ofmusical experience.

Miss Suatherlaand's first appearanceon the stage was. cause for aneenthusiastic ova~tiio, She began withtwo arias by Hanndel, "With Pl~aintiveNot~es" from "Samnson" and "DaTernpeste" from "Giul~io Cesare". Tkhefizslt aria, a rather subdued piece, foundM~iss Sutherland's sinaginge tentative andhier pitch uncertain.

She redeemed6 herself to a certainextent in the "Da Temp~este", one of

the glories of Baroque' opera. Thisbeautiful and florid piece received aheavily-ornamaentedd and excitingrendition. It was rather distressing,though, to hear Sutherland, the leadingccoloratura soprano of our time, slur-ring notes .in her runs, trils and ar-peggios. Although her floriture is notas clean as it should ble, her vocal~weight and the resonant overtones. of:her voice are still unique.

Mr. Vrenios made his firstappearance in the aria, "La speranzasua soave", from R os raly ni'ss"Semiramide". His voice proved to be,small and light, and it was quitedifficult to hear him over the orchestra.He showed agility in dealtng with theelaborate figures, but his voice was noteasily produced and he frequentlyshowed poor intonation.fl

His second performance, the aria,"Ferme tes yeuxu" from Auber's "LaMuett~e die Portici~", was some~whatmore successful, since it was hessdramatic and less demanding than theRossini aria3. Mgp. Venios s4imply doesnot have the power to be a trure belcasnto tenor, which means that bis-unusually bigb range and ability tobold soft notes for extendeda periods oftinae can not be fully appreciated.

MBr. Varenios joined Miss Suthaerlandfor three duets in the middle of thepro~gram. Ile first one, `E A soldelll'anima" from "Rigoletto",,vasdisappointingmg and received ae ratherdrab performance characterized bypoor vocal ensemble. It was not easy to

By Robert Foulrer,,'You've never seen a movie like it before"' - certainly that's a well worn

advertising phrase. Radical advances in the cinema seem to be announced almostcontinually. Yet most of them (if they are any good at all) are just cleverer ormore inspired variations of. w~hat had gone befoxe. Wbhen a filmn is reallyconceptually different, the differences are hard to-,miss; as, for instance, in JohnCassavetes' "Faces", one of the most striking American films in recent years.

Faces maps a crisis in the lives of a middle-aged, mriddle-c~lass California~n manand his wife. It begins as he and a f~rienad pick up a woman in a bar after wrork,,spend a brief time at her house, and his dejected return home. The next day, he

The Technology CommunityAssociation's annual charity driveended in a flurry of eleventh-hourcontributions as ZBT netted a total of

$7.36 per man-to win the competitionfor the fourth year in a row. The first

prize, a complete stereo systemdonated by Tech Hifi, went to ZBT asa tremendous last-minute contributionput them over the top. The secondprize. a quarter keg of Budweiser beerfrom the Mrine Cellar, went to the MITStudent House.

The competition grew fierceWednesday afternoon as the indicatedtotals for each living group wereremoved for the last half-hour of thedrive. Contributing representatives ofat least 8 living groups were present tomake sealed, unposted contributions.The total amount contributed in thedrive was the highest on record as TCAcollected over $2900, and about $1600in the last half-hour. The breakdownwas: Biafra $151(; United Fund,$675;World Univeisity Service, $230; andAmerican Cancer Society, $265.

It was decided that students wouldtake more interest in the contest ifdormilttories whose floors werecomparable to average fraternities(40-50 m en) could competeindividually. So that floors which didnot have their own lounges would notpool their contributions with those ofanother floor, only dorms whose floorshad individual lounges, i.e. Burton,Conner, East Campus, and M.cCormack,were allowed to compete this way.

MIT's varsity track team smotheredColumbia 6040 to even its record attwo victoris and two defeats beforethe Christmas break. MIT showed itsusual strength in taking more than itsshare of firsts, but in this meet, theBeavers managed to cop exactly half ofthe seconds and thirds. It is the firsttime MIT has demonstrated the depthwhich is essential to a winning season.

Ben Wilson continued undefeated ashe won both his specialities. Wilson wasthe only man to place first in twoevents for either team as he wasvictorious in the one and two mileruns. He won the one mile with a timeof 4:28.9, and later finished the twomile course in 9:42.8. Through the firstfour meets Wilson has consistantlyoutclassed his competition. The factthat he can win the two mile race afterhe has'already run one mile bodes wellfor his future success.

Eight Tech fretsIn addition to Wilson's paw, the

Institute totaled six other blue ribbonevents. Joel Hemmelstein '70 led aclean sweep in his debut in the 50 yarddash. Heemmelsteinjust beat teammatesLarry Kely '70 and Bill McLeod '69 tothe tape in a tine of 5.7 seconds.McLeod was also among those whoplaced first as he won the broad jumpwith a leap of 21 feet 9%/2 inches. HenryHall '70 was another point scorer forthe victors winning the 45 yard highhurdles with a respectable clocking of6.2 seconds . . . Jim Glowienka '71 andStan Kozubek '69 complete the list ofTech winners. Glowienka went to 10feet 6 inches to capture top honors inthe pole vault. Kozubek turned a timeof 2:21.9 which was good enough towin the 1000 yard run.

Tech sweeps SO, 1000The Institute really built up its lead

by sweeping not only the 50 yard dash,but also the 1000 yard race. Rightbehind Kozubek were John Wargo '70and Rich Poulson '71. The only otherfirst was rung up by the one mile relay
