Since 1881"I- Since 1881 "

By Greg Bernhardtand Duff McRoberts

Signs of increasing politicalpolarization were evident thisweek as various student groupsexpressed their positions on theNovember Action days.

There will be a quiet,candle-lit vigil by the Great Sailat 7 pm Monday evening, be-cause, in the words of the organ-izers, "We will not support vio-lence, and we want people toknow it." There will be no

Ad speakers, nor leaflets circulated.g As for the issues addressed bytg

November Action, according toWayne Wenger, one of the organ-izers, "this vigil will take nosides."'/ ~ Petitions

At least two separate groups- were circulating petitions against

s violence in the actions plannedfor Tuesday and Wednesday.

n One petition, sponsored byr Ergo, collected 340 signatures ini- the first five hours Wednesdaya afternoon.- A second petition was drawns up by a group of students after- the Tuesday evening meeting ofe the General Assembly. While nota sanctioned by the Assembly, thes initiators sought to reflect the

consensus of the Assembly. The

MIT planquickly be shut down in theevent of a seizure. While official

n policy dictates that operating;e personnel leave quietly, an insideT T source says that personnel plane- to resist occupation attempts.)r The buildings also contain the

classified records of Institute re-is search of all kinds. The records,

if taken by unauthorized person-Ys, can result in up to 10 years ina prison and a $10,000 fine. The/e same applies to the l-Labs. BothY buildings are patrolled afterd hours.a- In a letter to the members ofa the General Assembly Wednes-

petition states "tactics of disrup-tion and violent confrontationcannot help but set precedentswhich will endanger the futureof the MIT community. We op-pose these tactics." The latestavailable count showed over 400signatures.

The Ergo petition took thestronger stand, urging that theadministration use defensiveforce "againslt the initiators offorce;" and that the Institute"withdraw financial support andofficial sanction from any stu-dent group that engages in extor-tion or intimidation."

SACC positionSACC stated that they "agree

with the substance of the No-vember Action Coalition's de-mands," but they took thestance that "violence will divertattention from the substantiveissues. We call for an active,massive, peaceful demonstrationof support from all members ofthe MIT community who standwith us on this issue." SACC willmeet independently of the NACon the morning of November 4.

By Alex Makowski-Under the curious eyes of at

least fifty spectators, the Gen-eral Assembly Tuesday unequiv-ocally denounced the the use ofviolence on campus and calledon President-ohnson to use thepolice, if necessary, to maintainorder.

Provost Jerome Weisner,Dean for Student Affairs DanNyhart, I-Lab representatives,and dozens of students saw theAssembly reverse an earlier closevote denying qualified supportto President Johnson's October22 statement to the Faculty.

Violence was the mainconcern of the fifty-fiVe dele-gates present. Discussion beforevotes on the four or five motionspresented swirled around chargesof MIT and SDS-perpetratedviolence. Whether the NovemberAction Coalition is justified ininitiating coercion became the

central issue.Albert defends coercion

UAP Mike Albert and Ex-ecomm member Stan.Pomerantzinsisted that the Coalition hadthe right, indeed the moral ob-ligation, to end such research asthe MTI and CAM projects. Asfor the academic freedom issue,Pomerantz argued that it's "a

perversion to say that whenwe'remaking weapons for the DefenseDepartment we're free."

The delegates rejected theirposition with a 34-20 vote onAndy Gilchrest's motion. Aphrase supporting the Coalition'sgoals was struck out when dele-gates objected to giving a "blankcheck" to the demonstrators.The roll call ended more than anhour of discussion.

Rapid passage of two othermotions followed. Besides out-lining a specific catalogue ofsuch objectionable "violentacts" as "prevention of free ac-cess to any MIT offices" and"theft or destruction of files,"the delegates endorsed a resolu-tion demanding a continuedappraisal of the special labs.

Student decision-makingAn attempt by Gary Gut to

create a committee of ten under-graduates to advise Johnsonduring the November Action wasthe only new business. His mo-tion was amended to include acondemnation of any actionJohnson takes without the pa-nel's approval.

Several delegates objectedthat the plan was unfeasable.How, they pointed out, couldthese ten students be selected?

The proposal was overwhelmingly defeated by a show-of-handvote.

Yet the issues have not beerresolved. Hardly twenty-fouhours had passed before a petition was circulated calling foraspecial meeting tomorrow afternoon. Feeling that the delegateshad voted without carefully consuiting their constituencies, thepetition's authors called for reconsideration of all motionvoted on Tuesday.

l-labs,By Greg gernardt

While the November ActioCoalition continues to promismass militant action, the MI]administration has remained relatively quiet about its plans foNovember 4.

Most administration officialdeclined to comment abouwhatever contingency plans mahave been prepared. However,number of preparations havbeen made at some of the likeltargets that could be occupieby NAC members. NAC is promrising an estimated 1000 demonstrators.

The Instrumientation Labs arlikely to be a prime target fathe demonstrators. While manof the NAC members have denied plans to enter the labs, thbuildings have still been equipped with heavy latches on thinsides of the doors. BernarFeldman, an associate directoof the labs, stated that he saw nreason why the labs would nooperate as usual.

by Steve CarhartAs November 4 approaches,

the situation on campus seenmsto be growing increasingly cen-trifugal. Meetings, vigils, peti-t i o n s , a n d o t he rcounter-measures to the Novem-ber Adtions seem to be prolifer-ating. Late Thursday night thefaculty joined the ranks ofgroups planning meetings, as arequest for the use of Kresgefrom 9:30 to 1 on both Novem-ber 3 and 4 was submitted bythe faculty. It is not knownwhether this request will takeprecedence over SACC's plans tohave a meeting at 10 am onNovember 4.

Latest NAC plans which are,of course. subett to change upto the last minute include a rallyat noon on the fourth, followedby the simultaneous occupationof administration offices and theCIS that afternoon. Around 5pm another rally is planned forthe Student Center, from whichNAC will march to Tech Square(home of CAM and CIA) pastthe l-labs.

F;rom there the marchers willgo to Howard Johnson's house,and then down Memorial Driveto the Student Center for ateach-in and mass meeting. Thefollowing morning, militantaction is planned against iL.

One cannot help comparingthe prsesent situation with thatat Hlarvard last year and notingseveral differences. The most im-portant difference is that thedissident organization has beenspeaking openly of violence for along period of time. Violence is,for the moment at least, associ-ated more with the radicals thanthe police or administration inthe minds of most menmbers ofthe community. This, coupledwith the fact that the NAC ismostly non-MIT people, suggeststhat the MIT commnunity is un-likely to fragment as was thecase at Harvard. This likelihoodhas been further reduced by theconsultation procedures whichthe administration has set tiupwith the various segments of thecommunity.

By Bruce SchwartzTwo days of picketing over

the presence of a General Elec-tric recruiter on campus has pro-vided a preview of planned ad-ministration responses tomilitant protests. At a confron-tation Monday in E19, ViciPresident Kenneth R. Wadleighthreatened disciplinary actionfor MIT students present, andarrest for outsiders.

The action was hastily organ-ized Tuesday night by an ad hocgroup- from RLSDS and thenewspaper The Old Mole, whichalong with other members of theNovember Action Coalition issupporting the strike of GtE:workers at the plant at Lynn.14,000 workers there and134,000 elsewhere are strikingfor a wage increase and the rightto collective bargaining on anindustry-wide basis.

Monday marchOn Wednesday, the group,

some 50 strong, marched to E19

following a noontime rally onthe Student Center steps. UAPMike Albert '69 and severalother members of RLSDS wereobserved in the group along withnumerous unidentifited persons,presumably NAC people' fromoff-campus.

Met by WadleighAfter a detour through the

Hayden Building the marcharrived at E19, surging up thestairs to the 4th floor. There thedemonstrators were met byVice-President Kenneth R.Wadleigh, Captain James Olivieriof the Campus Patrol, and twouniformed Patrolmen, who wereblocking the door. Olivieri offer-ed the demonstrators the -priv-ilege of sending in tow represent-atives to talk to the GE re-cruitcrs. The demonstratorsresponded by attempting topush their way into the place-ment office.

City votBy Bob Dennis

In Cambridge, November 4will mean different things todifferent people. At MIT, themain focus will be on the Insti-tute's struggle to retain its viabil-ity as an institution. For the restof Cambridge, Tuesday is theday when the electorate willchoose the city's leadership forthe next two years.

As the campaign signsthroughout the city indicate, thenine seats on the City Counciland the six posts on the SchoolCommittee will be at-stake.

Cambridge elections are ra-ther unique since this city is theonly major community in thenation that still employs theproportional representationsystem. Under this system, vot-ers select their choices preferen-tially and their second, third,and even fourth choices oftenprove crucial.

As The Cambridge Chroniclenoted last week, "With PR vot-ing, it doesn't pay for one candi-date to make a personal attackon any other candidate" since itmight cost him the chance ofgaining some of the secondaryvotes of another candidate.

Not issue-oriented

While the PR system has suc-ceeded in making the electionsfree of mud-slinging and has led

Tuesdaysive, has this year endorsedCoates, Moncreiff, and Solo-mons in addition to the incum-bents Barbara Ackermann,Edward Crane, and ThomasMahoney.

The Cambridge Citizens forLow-Income Housing, a newly-formed group concerned withthe housing crisis, has endorsedincumbents Ackermann,Mahoney and Alfred Vellucci, aswell as challengers Coates, Solo-mons, James Carragianes, DanielConnellv and Henrv Owens.

Councillor from MIT

In an interview, CouncillorThomas H. D. Mahoney, Profes-sor of' History in the MITDepartment of Humanities, dis-cussed his campaign. He hasrelied mainly on coffee hours,mailings and signs (about 125are up in all sections of the city).

In his campaign, CouncillorMahoney has raised such issuesas the maintenance of profes-sionalism in the office of CityManager, housing, solid wastedisposal, recreation and traffic.

He has given special emphasisto the "filthy condition" of theCambridge streets. Believing that"the morale of the city is deter-mined by its environment", herecently proposed a nine-pointprogram to the Council. Amongthe points were that the CityManager should seek to employstudent assistance in this areaand that businesses shouldassume more responsibility forthe cleanliness of the city.

Councillor Mahoney isespecially proud of the leader-ship role he played in the for-mation of tenant councils inpublic housing projects and iiaprocuring modernization fundsfor the projects.

One of.the four Councillorswho voted in favor of rentcontrol this summer, CouncillorMahoney asserts that he favoredthe ordinance on the basis of"justice and humanity." He feelsthat rent control is desirablebecause of the many evictionsthat have been occuring and inorder to assist those citizens offixed income who cannotcompete with the rising demandfor housing in the city.

School Committee

In the School Committeerace, there are twelve candidatesfor six positions. The CCA hasendorsed incumbents FrankDuehay and David 'Wylie andchallengers Lorraine Butler,Francis X. Hayes, and DonFantini. Of the other incum-bents, William Fitzgerald andJohn Good are seeking re-elec-tion while Clinton and Solomonsare running for the City Council.

The only issue seems to bethe general question of the qual-ity of the school system. Whilethe CCA candidates say thatmuch more could be done, theother incumbents lead thedefense of the present system.

A group of MIT and Wellesleystudents has been activelyinvolved in Lorraine Butler'scampaign. Students who wouldlike to serve as pollworkers onelection day should contactSteve Young at the UrbanAction office, W20-437, x 2894.

i es nextcandidates to offer a more posi-tive approach, the system hasnot succeeded in making thecampaigns more issue-oriented.Despite heated controversiesover housing and rent controlduring the past year, a campaignobserver at City Hall commentsthat "This city doesn't work onissues."

There are 26 candidates forthe nine-man City Council. Twoof the incumbents are not seek-ing re-election. Attorney RobertMoncreiff and former CouncillorThomas Coates (one of threeblacks in the race) are consider-ed the leading contenders for theseat of Cornelia Wheeler. SchoolCo mmittee members DanielClinton and Gustave Solornonsand contractor Leonard Russellare considered the most likely tocapture the consistuency beingvacated by Bernard Goldberg.All incumbent candidates, withthe possible exception of DanielHayes, are expected to win re-election.

The election results should beinteresting since two incumbentCouncillors, Edward Crane andThomas Danehy, are basing theircampaigns on a strong "law andorder" theme.

ruptive " actions planned by NA C Besides our fearthat the violence implied ain these actions will becounterproductive to changing natitnal policy, werecognize that such acts have no place at auniversity. These acds, by polarizing people over afalse issue, will not strengthen President Johnson'shand in obtaining conversion money, but may wellstrengthen the hand of those outside MIT whowould restrict the freedom of both MIT and -otheruniversities.

Nor are we prepared to condone actions by anyperson or group designed to coerce anyone elseinto accepting a certain sense of morality. We feelthat continued pluralism of opinion, coupled withopen discussion, will serve MIT best over the longhaul.

We agree that the problem of conversion, thewar, and MIT are here. We urge everyone to attendthe SACC discussion of the conversion and NAAC inKresge at 10 pm Tuesday. Additionally, we feel itis intellectually dishonest to march with NACunless one supports both the politics and tactics ofthat group, and are willing to accept their con-sequences.

To those who will be on the receiving end ofthe actions, we offer these suggestions: I) Cooper-ate with the radicals- see if they will follow theirstatements- that they will not initate violence.There is no need to knuckle under, but minimalcooperation may keep police off the campus. 2) Ifpolice must be used, they should be accompaniedby an officer of the Institute at all times. 3) Priorwarning should be given before any police action istaken.

NaovembTomorrow marks the start of the November

Actions, which will focus on MIT during the nextweek. The stated goals of the November ActionCoalition are 1) an end to "war-related" researchprojects on this campus; 2) "raising the cost of thewar in Vietnam;" and 3) building a radicalmovement at MIT and throughout the nation.

We find we can agree with NA C on at mostonly the first of thesegoals. Beyond a doubt, suchprojects as MIRV are not appropriate for univer-sity research and development, if indeed they- areappropriate for this world at'ill. It seems to us,too, that a consensus is growing on this campuswhich, given time, will bring these projects to anend. Although we find this time scale dis-couragingly long, the growth of consensus mustnot 'be stifled by premature acts which willalienate many who seek a change in MIT's researchpriorities.

While we support an immediate end to USinvolvement in Vietnam, actions at MIT will notraise the cost of the war on a national level.,On thenational level, where this influence must be felt,the inevitable distortion of the real issue of thewar by the issue of violence will polarize citizens'views around the wrong problem and obscure thetrue one.

The same distortion will make it impossible tobuild an effective mass movement-too manyoutside people will misunderstand what happenshere. Some misunderstanding may prematurelyprovoke the repression not only of radical but ofliberal movements.

fEd. note: The follovning is continuedfromt the previous issue.)

Another project in the consi-deration stage that has question-able overtones is-one doing adetailed study of the relation-ship between (I) military aidand assistance to underdevel-oped countries and (2) thestimulation of the civilian econo-my. The reason for this study isamazingly relevant: it is felt thatsuch military aid and assistanceis a diversion from the realcivilian needs of food clothing,shelter, jobs, etc. Too bad thisreason isn't applied here in theU.S. This project seems to havethe possible interest of. the ArmsControl and DisarmamentAgency for several reasons.Benoit of Columbia Universityfound that underdevelopedcountries' military establish-ments are determined to havewell-equipped modern armies.As a result, they turn to otherthan the U.S. if the U.S. refusesto sell to them. The.problem is(and it is certainly not the onlyproblem) that the money is stilldiverted from the civilian econo-my. Believe it or not, it has beensuggested that the U.S. createinexpensive weapons or givehuge discounts so that thesavings can be invested in publicservice. Naturally I immediatelyinterjected that such thoughtswere quite infantile and pureinsanity (contact me if thereasons aren't immediately obvi-ous). Another finding of Benoitluckily doesn't'lead to that typeof thinking. Initially this researchof his indicated that the amountof military aid correlated highlywith civilian economic growth.Upon hearing this I asked ifthere were not another moresignificant variable than militaryaid. Millikan's reply was thatfurther research showed thathigh military aid normally oc-curred simultaneously with higheconomic aid.

By Dave deBronkart Racial tensions which have

since involved several portions ofthe Institute, including the Presi-dent's Office, have resulted froman incident at East Campusfreshman shower night, Oct. 22.

A Black freshman who chosenot to participate in the activi-ties became alarmed when theupperclassmen attempted toforce entry to his room. TheCampus Patrol was summonedon two occasions to disperse thecrowd of upperclassmen, and agroup of Black students fromBurton House arrived at onepoint for the purpose of aidingthe threatened freshman.

The Black Students' Unionresponded to the incident withdemands that President Johnsonissue. a written condemnation ofthe uppe rclassmen's "illegalacts," that the upperclassmen bepunished, that The Tech apolo-gize for its allegedly inaccuratereporting of the incident, andthat the Campus Patrol "ap-proach Biack students in particu-lar, and all students generally, ina mannier that will produce aconstructive attitude of all par-ties involved."

President Johnson issued astatement Wednesday expressinghis concern over the incident. Hecharged the Dormitory CouncilJudiciary Committee with inves-tigating individual involvementsin the incident, and with review-ing the entire system of hazing.He further announced that Prof.Paul Gray, Associate Provost,would begin an investigation ofthe incident centering on itsracial overtones.

The incident began the nightbefore the first freshman quiz;when the residents of the hallinvolved arrived at the door ofMichael Fant, -who was 'insidestudying with two friends. Thet/pperclassmen pounded on, hisdoor; he replied that he did notwish to participate, a not un-common response which was ig-nored as usual.

Fant eventually called theCampus Patrol, who arrived anddispersed the crowd. The Patroldid not enter Fant's room at thispoint, and left after speaking tothe crowd.

Residents of another floorsoon showed up, having finishedwith their floor and looking for

more action. They found thatFant had not been showered,began pounding on his dooragain, and tried to enter throughthe connecting door from thenext room.

Fant contends that racial epi-thets and slurs were shoutedthrough the door; the Whitesinvolved claim vehemently thatno such comment was hurled athim.

A resident of the other floorthen obtained pliers, and {ailingother methods of gaining entry(door-tolling and coop-carding),began to attack the lock on thedoor. He broke the lock andremoved the cylinder and thedoor-knob. A resident of Fant'sfloor then removed a posterfrom the door which derided the"pigs" and demanded "all powerto the people." The poster wasdestroyed.

Re orter's(Ed. note: The folloruing is a personalstatement by Dave deBronkart, au-thor of an article whticht appeared inThe Tech Oct. 24, about that article.Tiis statement is not in'tended torepresent editorial opinion of TheTech.)

By Dave deBronkartIt is my intent here to explain

my stand on the article of the24th. The straight news storywhich accompanies this state-ment of may opinion is an at-tempt to reconstruct as fully aspossible the events of that night;I was not present, but I havecontacted as many people as Icould find, Black and White,who were there.

First, let me reconstruct theevents leading to my writing ofthe article. I heard of the inci-dent, as it happened on the floorbelow me, from those involved. Iwent down to see -what wasgoing on, as I was disturbed bythe story I had heard. Variousresidents of the floor told megrossly alarming stories, recount-ing up to "30 of themn, and theyhad knives." I questioned theallegation of knife-carrying, andthey admitted to suspicion andfear but not knowledge of suchconditions. As accurately as pos-

At this point tFant againcalled the Campus Patrol. Theresponse at this point was slowin coming, so he then calledsome of his friends in BurtoniHouse. When the Patrol arrived,some Whites made commentsabout Fant's calling the "fascistpigs" for help when his anti-pigsposter was destroyed.

A crowd of black students,estimated at up to 30, thenarrived. The Black Students'Union contends that those pre-sent were not carrying weaponsof any sort; others who werepresent disagree. In particular,-Al Epstein, head of Judcomm inEast Campus, has specificallystated that he saw lengths ofiron rod; other witnesses and atleast one of the Blacks.presenthave added slats of wood to thearticles reportedly carried by theparty. t

. The issue of racial epithetsstands unsolved. The freshmenin the room claim that thecrowd was yelling, "Kill the nig-gers," whereas the upperclass-men outside say firmly that theywere shouting, "Kill the fresh-men." Notices on at least onebulletin board were set afire byBlacks, and were extinguishedby Whites before damage wasdone.

pages 6 and 7same thing happening to myposter.

On Wednesday night, October22, I, Michael Fant, was subjectto a malicious affront by whitesresidents of the East Campusdorm. This was the night whenthe so-called "shower parties"roamed the halls looking forfreshmen to throw into theshowers, fully clothed, as somesort of initiation. When myroom. was approached by thecrowd, I was busy studying withtwo black-friends of mine, alsoof the East Campus dorm. Afterthe group made their presenceknown on the opposite side ofmy door, I told them that I didnot wish to participate in theirinitiation and that I would notbe thrown into the shower. Theyreplied with a great deal ofheavy banging on both of mydoors. I was constantly tellingthem how i stood on this mat-ter, but they didn't listen. Whenit seemned that my door wasabout to be broken in, I calledthe campus patrol. They cameand dispersed the crowd.

A few minutes later thecrowd was back beating on mydoor more heavily than before.

(Ed. note: The following is a state-ment by President Howard Johnsonconcerning the East Canapus showerincident and rolated matters.)

To Members of the MIT Com-munity:

Last week an incident occur-red in one of the Institute house-s which has brought up onceagain the issue of personal rightson this campus. This incidentcentered around the hazing of ablack student, who felt stronglythat the activities of the fresh-man shower party were a deli-berate invasion of his privacy.Gurthermore, he and other blackstudents felt deeply that theincident and its reporting in thecampus press revealed consider-able racial bias. These are seriouscharges that the MIT communitymust deal with urgently, and Ishall personally see to it that thisis done.

I have spoken out many timeson my belief that we as a com-munity must respect and protectthe basic rights of individuals tofreedom of action and freedomof expression. It is equally im-portant in my view to protectthe right of each indicidual toenjoy. reasonable personal pri-vacy and to expect of othersrespect for his dignity, his indi-viduality, and his right toself-determination.

incident does not recur, and toavoid, if possible, further mis-understandings, I have taken thefollowing steps: 1. I have askedthe Dean for Student Affairs torequest that the judicial commit-tee in the house, and. if appro-priate, both the DormitoryCouncil and its judicial commit-tee, investigate the circumstance-s surrounding this incident witha dual purpose: first, to reviewthe actions of the individualswho were centrally involved and,second, to take a contemporarylook at the "common law" con-cerning hazing. It is my hopethat these objectives can be met.within the structure of the stu-dent judicial system. If theycannot, the Committee on Disci-pline will be asked to review thesituation. 2. 1 have asked Profes-sor Gray and those who havebeen most directly involved inefforts to expand educationalopportunity for black studentsat MIT to examine directly andimmediately the serious problemof racial resentments and te-nsions on this campus.Specifically, I have asked DeanNyhart and Professor Gray toorganize meetings with studentsand housemasters in residencegroups, in order to discuss thepurposes and principles of.these

to further familiarize studentswith the relevant facts and goals.I hope that in this way we candevelop a mechanism for thecontinuing exploration andamelioration of these problems.I would welcome further sug-gestions from the comnmunity asto ways in which we can makethis effort a meaningful one.

We have been most encour-'aged with the development andthe progress of the efforts aimedat making the Institute morerelevant Lo black students. MITas an institution is committed totheir success, and we count oneach of you as individuals to givethese effors your full supportand understanding. This reientexample has shown us that indi-vidual acts sonmetimes havefar-reaching effects that mayoverride even the best efforts ofthe institution.

MIT is a pluralistic cominiuni-ty. Its value to each of us as aplace in which to live and studydepends in large imeasure on howmuch efb)rt each od ls invlests tomake that commlt(lnit ' work. torespect the dignity. individuality.and personal worth of everVother person here. I urge each ofyou to think very carefullyabout what that means, foryourself and for all of us.

about the October 22, 1969East Campus Shower Incident

Just as background informa-tion, I would like to bring up animportant point. About a weekand a half to two weeks beforethe shower party incident tookplace, a white resident on myfloor called a poster on my door"garbage" told me that he didn'tlike it, and that the rest of thehall was "right-wing" andwouldn't like it either. He wenton to relate an incident concern-ing a socialist who lived on thefloor the year before and hadhad his poster burned while itwas still on his door. He thenimplied the possibility of the

Statementsible,'I weeded their stories untilI arrived at a plausible version,upon which all present agreed.

Exercising what I judged atthe time to be discretion, I didnot intervi6w the Black fresh-men in question; I felt he wouldbe in a very tense state, and notreceptive to a random newspaperreporter on top of everythingelse that happened that evening.Rather, in writing the story, Ispecifically aimed at wateringdown the article even further, ina totally honest attempt to be100% fair to those involved. Ihereby assume all responsibilityfor the content of that articleand these followups, as theywere entirely of my own author-ing. This includes the qualifyingeditor's note on the original arti-cle, which I requested.

The article, as it appeared,has been repeatedly verified asfactual in context, specificallyby Jim Bishop, assistant to theDean's Office. The problem hasarisen in the supposed "errors ofomission" which have led tomisgivings on the part of theBSU. My response to theseclaims is as follows.

unruldy Blacks, by leaving out tiedistinguishing features of thisparticular shower namely, the

iepithets, remarks, and the actsof the siower participants.

You mentioned that, "Noviolence was precipitated; at-tempts were made by the Whites

,involved-to reconcile the situa-tion." We wonder how violentthe situation would have ap-peared if a group of black stu-dents converged on a White stu-dent's room, hurled equivalentepithets and remarks at the resi-dent, and tore the lock off thedoor while attempting to break

in. An irresponsible grcu pmight use this shower ritual assafront for any acts they mightchoose to commit. What semsi-ble person would allow such agroup to enter his room? Whydidn't the participants in theshower activity cease as soon asthey saw that the resident,Michael Fant, was viewing theiractions as a harassment? Whydid they allow such characterswho had hostile racist attitudesparticipate in the first. place?Why was it necessary for theparticipants to tear Fant's publi-cations off the walls adjacent tohis door and what other ulterior-motives were presenit? Severaldays before this incidence, Fantwas approached by a resident ofthe floor who informed him thatthe hall-was right-winged, thatthe residents had a distaste forithe publications he had postedand that if he didn't removethem, they would be removedfor him eventually. We can onlyconclude from these ,facts' thatthe atmosphere in this particularhall in Bemis was hostile, tenseand threatening and Fant wasjustified in exercising caution forhis safety and summoning helpwhen he saw the:situation wasgetting out of hand.

From what we can ascertain,the other resident David Leewho summoned help was notthreatened in a manner deemedabnormal beyond the normalshower party ritual. He'had beeninformed of the undesirable situ-ation at the Fant shower partywhich, occurred earlier and hadder',¢d not to participate inorder to. avoid any unsavoryincidents. When he requestedthat he be allowed not to partici-pate in the shower ceremony, hewas told that if he didn't comeout, the shower party partici-pants on his floor would come inand get him and bring him outphysically. When the showerparty participants attempted toenter his room, he summonedhelp. We feel that because of theprecedence set'by the residentsat the other shower party, Leewas- justitied also in exercisingconcern for his safety and wealso feel that his request not toparticipate should have beengranted.

In conclusion, in view-of allthe aforementioned sholtcom-ings, we maintain that The TPechdid not give a fair and completeaccount or_ description of thisarrair and" the actions of thepersons involved. We are disap-iointed that standards of hones-ty, accuracy, and rigorous fact-finding which we feel are imper-ative for campus publicationsand other mediums of communi-cation (university affiliated ornot) to adopt and adhere towere taken so lightly or dis-missed entirely at the time thisarticle was- conceived by-theauthor and The Tech staff. Wewould be more sympathetic ifthis article had just the featuresof a "rmsh job." But in lieu ofthe fact that you found it neces-sary to mention such far-fetched, ridiculous, and un-founded fears as "knives in um-brelas" in the place of the factswhich this article nmore thanwarranted, that you didn't find

(Please turnt to page 9)

(Ed. note: 17re following is a letterfrom the Black Student Union ex-pressig their view of the October 22incident and The Tech 's coverage ofit.)

The members of the BlackStudent Union forthrightly ex-press their gravest concern overthe great disservice done to theMIT community by Tile Techand the discredit it did to itselfby presenting a news story"Shower ritual irks Blacks" TheTech, Friday: Oct. 24) so biased,incomplete, and devoid of facts,that it-pleads for reproach.

If there is any understate-ment to be made about thisarticle it is the fact that it wasill-conceived with little or nocompetent fact-finding, verylittle gathering of evidence, nopreparation, and a disregard forstandards of responsible and fac-tual reporting. The fact that TheTech had not bothered to evenconsult the two BMack residentsof East Campus, the personsdirectly involved in this incident,attests to the poor quality ofthis article among other things.Even the prefatory statements of

the article hints as a device toexcuse off its'poor quality andlack of soundness, mentioning asits prime source of reliable infor-mation-a phantom East Campusresident.

Furthermore, if there wereany understatements in this ar-ticle, they -were more thanatoned for by the inclusion ofthe fearful visions of the EastCampus residents involved. (Whocan imagine knives in umbrel-las?) We can conceive of personscarrying knives in their pocketseven in their shoes (though theBlack students involved have as-sured us that they haven't eversubairibed to such practices) butknives in umbrellas is a new oneon ail of us. We see this asnothing but sensationalism de-signed by the East Campus resi-dents who were consultedand/or The Tech.staff to drumup fear and hostility towards theBlack students involved.

Between 1:00 and 2:00 lastThursday morning, as I was pre-paring to go to bed, I received aknock at the-door. I opened thedoor and saw a group of guysstanding around, of whom I onlyrecognized one, Ed Bennett ourhall chairman. They said that Ihadn't been thrown in theshower yet and that it was now

ANT'S STAT(Continued from page S)

My two friends were holding thehall door and I was holding thedoor that leads to the otherroom. They took a wrench and literally ripped the lock out ofmy door along with taking thedoor knob out. Then they rip-ped the poster off the front ofmy door and tore it -up whilemaking slanderous and abusiveremarks about -me and blackpeople in general. After this Icalled other black friends ofmine on campus to ask for assis-tance, a couple of minutes later,after it sounded like my doorswere ready to crumble, I againcalled the campus police. Onlyafter the campus police arrivedand convinced me that theywere the campus police did Iopen my door. Shortly after-wards a contingency of blackstudents arrived in reply to mycall for aid. Almost immediatelythe campus patrol asked themwhere they were from althoughthey were wearing MIT T-shirtsand jackets. The C.P. also askedthem what they werethere although it was obviousthat I was under a violent andmalicious attack by whites. I wasalso told by the campus patrol,"Tell your boys to go home",while the whites were still milling around the halls. Later, bothgroups dispersed.

Nylon. Reverse osmosis.A fiber that started making girls' legs more beauti-

ful some 30 years ago.And a process that's been around a lot longer.But when Du Pont scientists and engineers look

at them in a new way, they combine into an idea thatcan change the world.

Reverse osmosis is a purification process thatrequires no phase change. It's potentially the cheap-est way to desalinate water.

Du Pont's innovation? Hollow, semipermeable ny-lon fibers much finer than human hair. Symmetrical,with an outer diameter of ,002 inch and a wall thick-ness of .0005 inch, with an accuracy of manufacturemaintained at close to 100%, Twenty-five to 30 millionof them encased in a precisely engineered unit 14inches in diameter by 7 feet long,

The result: a semipermeable surface area of about85,000 square feet-the size of a 2-acre lot-and upto 10,000 gallons of desalted water per day.

So far "Permasep "® permeators have been usedexperimentally to purify brackish and polluted water,and in various industrial separations. But the po-tential to desalt seawater, too, is there.

So Du Pont scientists and engineers are even nowworking toward improved fibers, units and plantdesigns that should make it possible to get freshwater from salt at a price that any town or nationcan afford.

Innovation-applying the known to discover theunknown, inventing new materials and putting themto work, using research and engineering to createthe ideas and products of the future--this is theventure Du Pont people are now engaged in.

In another effort, a group ofstudents have set up an informa-tion center in the Bush Room.They "hope to promote the ex-change of ideas, to minimizespeculation, due to lack of infor-mation, and to help reduce un-necessary tensions."

up on a radiator and said, "Letme introduce myself." The pro-testors responded that theyknew who he was, whereupon hecame close to repeating hisnear-legendary "Anybody herein five minutes..." speech ofthe tuition riot a few years ago.Specifically, he said thatstudents who remained would besubject to disciplinary actionand non-students would be con-sidered trespassers. He repeatedthe offer of allowing two repre-sentatives in to talk tohe (SGEinterviewers.

BATTLE OF MITSEEMV S I MNENTThere remain but four days

to what may be remembered asthe battle of MIT. Violence ofsome sort seems almost inevit-able. Police action is certain.Leaders of the November Actionfully expect to go to jail. Theadministration has said nothingabout expulsions, but they seemlikely. As it has shaped up overthe past few weeks, the Novem-ber Action has taken on almostthe aspect of a historical inevita-bility, like World,,War I. Could ithave been avoided? Can it?Should it? Observe the set of theplay, the historical background,the players and powers, andjudge.

Especially should the facultyof MIT take notice. In recentdays this writer has noted whatseems to be an amazing ignor-ance of what is going to happenTuesday. So get it: There will be-1000 or more demonstratorsfrom all over the Boston areacoming to MIT to picket theInstrumentation Lab and toseize the buildings housing theCIS and the Administrativeoffices. The demonstrators seethis as an action agaisnt an insti-tution that is supportive ofImperialism, the exploitation ofpeople for the gain of the Amer-ican ruling class. Howard John-

son has issued statements sayingthat "academic freedom" and"freedom of access" will beprotected. And the NovemberAction Coalition says that suchfreedom is totally meaninglesswhen compared to what MITstands for.

Let us examine this conten-tion. Let us range over the yearsand see if there might be a grainof truth in the contention thatMIT may be harmful or evenfatal to one's health. Let usconsider the projects-0f the CISfor the CIA which involve thewar in Vietnam, consider thatthis is research in ,support and inthe services of an agency and agovernment that seeks to imposeits will upon not only Vietnambut also Laos and Thailand andmost of Southeast Asia andSouth America as well and indoing so has been at least in partresponsible for perhaps a milliondeaths in 'Vietnam and Godknows how many more in Laoswhere we're bombing, and inThailand, where we're alsobombing. Nor should we forgetthe maimed, the victims ofnapalm and shrapnel. Millionsmore. Now, gentlemen, conjureup a pile of a million' corpses, acharnel h.ouse to rivalBuchenwald. Put it on one sideof a cosmic scale. Upon theother side place your academicfreedom. Which weighs heavier?I would like for the faculty, andthe Corporation, to rememberthis when it comes time to deal

with this Action. Perhaps youwill understand that it is thisvision that drives America's chil-dren into the streets.

Considering that Mr. $ohnsonhas come out against the war, itis somewhat odd that he hasn'tcome out against activity thatsuipports that very war. Ofcourse, there are pressures uponhim. Pressures to stand fast inthe face of intimidation. Pres-sures to protect academic'free-dom. And he's kind of trapped.After all, where will the moneycome from if not from thegovernment?

So we fin d ourselves here in akind of war - yeah, it's war -between those who see Americatypified by the Pentagon asoppressive and murderous, andthlose who don't. Caught in themiddle are those like some mem-bers of the administration whodon't like what's going on butwould lose their source of liveli-hood if they opposed it. There isno compromise - possible. Theradicals will not bend - onedevelops or does not develop;researches or does not research.The Institute probably cannot

Now, as this tragedy of his-tory enters its fnmal acts, wewait. We tremble a little. Awe-some forces are afoot in theland. MIT will never be the sameafter this week. Right nowpeople are making decisions. Tojoin? Tosupport? To oppose?To fight? '

Here is- my position, notnecessarily the opinion of thisnewspaper. Mine. BecausZ I liketo think it matters.

I support the aims and goalsof the November Action. I amagainst what the United Stateshas done and continues to doand the role MIT plays in it. Ichoose not to participate in theAction itself because I do notbelieve that it will advance.its

goals or win many converts.Then again I may be wrong. Andalso. I must admit. I do notbelieve it will 'be effectiveeo..agh.to warrant risking myfreedom or safety. Mike Alberttold mine he expects to go to jail.And rm not. quite ready forthat. It may be out of coward-ice.

But given a few more monthsof war, given growing repression

Our opinion of the activitiescurrently planned is that theyneedlessly encourage violence.We believe that right here, rightnow, violence is not an accept-able form of dissent. In anydecision-making process, toinject violence is to push outreason. Certainly the resolutionof the war-research issue willrequire every drop of rationalitythat MIT can muster.

To symbolize these beliefs,we will hold a quiet, candle-litvigil by the Great Sail at 7Monday evening. We will inviteno speakers, pass out no leaflets,and erect no posters. We will notbe out to build an organization,but to be counted.

Withl respect to the substant-ive issues of November Action,this vigil will take no sides. Withregard to the proposed tactics ofNovember 4 and 5, we are ofone mind. We will not supportviolence, and we want people toknow it.

If you feel as we do, pleasejoin us Monday evening.B.Y.O.C.

With -only one minute gone inthe second period,' Mundhutnk,

BC's. right inner, took a passfrom Cash and slipped it 'pasthandcuffed Tech goalie TomAiden '72.

Play see-sawed up and downthe field until 11'38 in the samequarter, when Gerry Maskiewicz

'71 dribbled down the left side,delayed, and then rolled a per-fect pass to Dave, Peterson '71.Peterson promptly kicked theball past goalie Wasowki to tiethe score at 1-1. -

The Tech eleven came out inthe third period as if they wereintent on running the Eagglesback to Newton. With Maskie-

wicz and halfback Steve Young'70 controlling the ball onlyexcellent goaltending by BC's

Wasowki prevented Tech fromripping the game wide open.

However, with about threeminutes to go in the period, theTech attack seemed to run outof gas. The Eagles started toapply pressure, and this time itwas a couple of fine saves byAiden which prevented BC fromicing the game.

This pattern of play con-tinued through the first part ofthe fourth quarter, but withabout ten minutes left in thegame the Engineer attack righteditself. Maskiewicz brought theball deep into the BC zone and

centered it into a mass of playersin front of the Eagle net. Co-captain Val Livada '70 got hisfoot on it, but he just missed theopen net with a shot thatbounced off the post. The re-bound came out to Tony Reish'72, who quickly rifled a chest-high shot towards the BC goal. Itwas blocked, but by a BC de-"fenseman's hands. Young wascalled upon to convert the penal-ty kick, and he did with a lowshot to the far cornet.

The Eagles fought back andhad some excellent chances in-cluding an indirect penalty kickof their own, but the Tech de-fense held on for the win.

set up under the lee shores. Thismade for very confused finishes.McComb & Co. started well ineach of the five races that dayand beat Yale, whom theythought to be their most seriousopposition, in four of the races.But: it wars Tom Dykstra fromRhode Island who despite poorstarts worked his way out to asix-point lead over Tech by theend of the day.

On Sunday, MIT won thefirst race, after which they were

'tied with Dartmouth and Yaleand four points down to URI. Afourth and a third in races sevenand eight left them tied withl theGreen. Meanwhile, Chris Seaverof Yale made up his deficit onURI.

At the start of the next race,however. skipper McComb elec-ted to- change his tactics withonly a few seconds to go. He feltthat he could not cross thestarting line in good shape with-out jibing. Due to the low-cutjibs on the Ravens he was unableto see the Bowdoin boat ap-proaching to leeward on the

opposite tack and bore off to hitthem amidships at full speed.Several minutes later the Techcrw found themselves on the'way back to the shore, soon to

be ten points behind at theconclusion of the race. Perhapsthe letdown was too great. Inany case, they finished last in

the next race and. rounded outthe regatta with a fourth.

The eleventh a final race didnot determine the winner. Astart was given before the 4:00pm deadline, and the crewssailed the course only to find thereach mark missing. The restart,however, was given after-4:00,-and though Yale won the race

(and seemingly,the regatta),URIprotested this last start. The

matter will go to the ExecutiveCommittee of the New EnglandIntercollegiate Sailing Assoc-iation. to be resolved onNovember 7. Strangely, asMcComb is president of thatorganization, the Tech crew

zarried the trophy. back to3oston with them! Sadly, it will

lot stay.

The sailing team did not dowell last weekend. On Sunday,they sent a team to BrownUniversity to sail the Hoyt Tro-phy, Brown's fall season inter-sectional regatta. Plagued bypoor winds, the race committeeonly managed to get off fourraces in each division, although12 teams participated. Harvard

won, with MIT finishing seventh.Tom Bergen, '72 in A divisiondid not fare too poorlyexceptforone race in which he fouled out.Dana Pettengill, '71, in B divi-sion, never managed to tame thelight winds and Beverly dinghies.

Last weekend also, DaveMcComb, '70, Bill Michels, '70,Pete Nesbeda,'71 and Chuck

Wayne,'70, took on five otherschools in an attempt to defendthe White Trophy for the NewEngland Sloop 'Championship,held in 24-foot Ravens at theCoast Guard Academy. Thetwo-day event began on Satur-
