APRIL 1, 1975 By Mike McNamee No compulsory - Commons meals plan will be instituted in any MIT dormitories next year, the Dean for Student Affairs Office announced last week. The Deans Office, which had been considering the feasibility of requiring residents of Baker, Burton, and MacGregor Houses to take some sort of mandatory meals plan next year, made the announcement after informing the Dormitory Rate Review Committee of its decision a week ago Friday. The announcement put an end to several weeks of specula- tion and student protests against mandatory Commons, which was eliminated by the Deans Office in 1970 - speculation which, according to the Deans Office announcement, generated "mistrust and hostility" among students living the in the affec- ted dormitories. No formal process '' R einstituting compulsory Commons has been proposed almost every year since manda- tory Commons were elimina- ted,"- Dean Carola Eisenberg said in a letter sent to all dormitory residents last week. The consideration this year was neither unusual nor formal Eisenberg said, adding that re- ports of the discussions had implied "that there were de- tailed proposals for compulsory Commons which would be voted upon." "The furor created by publi- cizing the considerations didn't change a thing," Assistant Dean Nancy Wheatley, who studied the compulsory Commons ques- tion for the Deans Office, told The Tech "The decision would have been just the same, and could have been reached more easily, if there hadn't been so much publicity on the issue." Reasons "obvious" The reasons behind the Deans' decision, Wheatley said, were "obvious" in all three qases. Student sentiment in Baker, she said, was strongly against compulsory Commons, leading the Deans to believe that residents of the other two dorms would also oppose required Commons. This, she said, was an important factor in the decision. "We felt that we couldn't require Commons in Burton, because students there were also against the plan," Wheatley explained. "But if we didn't require it in Burton, then we couldn't require it in MacGregor, because MacGregor wouldn't be able to handle the demand." The MacGregor dining hall is expec- ted to serve voluntary Commons to MacGregor, Burton, and New Dorm residents next year; if all MacGregor residents were expec- ted to be on Commons, the hall would not be able to handle the demand. In Baker, Wheatley said, stu- dent opposition to compulsory Commons was "overwhelming" "The overall impact of manda- tory Commons there would be very negative," Wheatley said, "We believe that the house would probably be hurt by it." One expected result of com- pulsory Commons in Baker, Wheatley said, would be damage to coed living in that dorm, which just became coed this year.

MIT students about a- week ago, killing one student and seriously injuring the other. John L. Asinari '76, 20, a pre-medical student majoring in biology, died early on the morning of March 22 of injuries he received when he and Robert Moses '75 were attacked by four youths with whom they were hitchhiking. Moses, a former roommate of Asinari who also is majoring in biology, is now in satisfactory condition in Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Bos- ton. Boston police have arrested Robert Shaughnessy, 23, of South Boston, and charged him with Asinari's murder and as- sault with a deadly weapon in the Moses case. A warrant has also been issued for John J. Blodgett, 23, of Methuen. Police are reportedly seeking two other suspects in connection with the incident. Chancellor Paul E. Gray '54 announced the MIT reward at a press conference Thursday after- noon. "We believe and hope this reward will be useful in getting information for the police to solve this case," Gray said. According to a letter sent to Police Commissioner Robert DiGrazia, the reward will be paid "upon final conviction of the person or persons guilty" for information that helps police solve the case. The letter"also stated that MIT was asking anyone with information on the case to contact the Boston Police. "There is no implication in the offering of the reward that we are not satisfied with the poli6e handling of the case," Gray told reporters at the conference. "We believe that it will be helpful in bringing forward more information."

role in addressing current socialproblems;" others.stressed theimportance of imparting to stu-dents- "greater social awarenessand accountability." In otherwords, once the students be-come alumni, they realize thatthere is more than one field inthe world, and that MIT shouldbe playing more of a social roletoday. That can't be done withnarrow specialization.

The survey doesn't answerthe great question that has beenMIT's problem ever since Presi-dent Johnson made his famousstatement about "a universitypolarized around science andtechnology": How does a tech-nologically-oriented institutionlike MT-..change ...its spots suf-ficiently to provide better educa-tion for its students? The surveydoes clearly point out, that sucha change is desirable, that MIThasn't been successful so far, andthat a lot of work remains to bedone if MIT is ever going tobecome more than a professionalschool. That much has beenestablished; now what is neededfor further efforts to completethe work.

"But what are you going todo?"

"'That's easy. The same thingthe physicists did."

"You mean .. ""That's- right, quantum me-

chanics, or, now, quantum philo-sophy. Think of it - a statisticalinterpretation of God. Now yousee Him, now you don't. Allthose things you couldn't ex-plain with classical philosophybefore, like war, and why Juniordidn't get the bicycle he prayedfor, just become quantum ef-fects. Uncertainty explains it."

"But will the public buy it?""Sure, look at the way they

bought Einstein. Little bit ofrazz!e-dazzle, some Greek let-ters, poof, it's gospel,"

"That was in poor taste.""Excuse me - I'll have to

watch that now."'"Yeah, but what are you

going to do with the kid? He'sstill going to be pretty upset."

"That's no problem If wecan take away his God, we cangive him back the Easter Bunny.Or Santa Claus."

"Or Richard Nixon.""Now you're coolking, Jerry.

We'll make a philosopher out ofyou yet.."

diet their arguments. The secondargument against these conten-tions - the argument that getsstated much less often, butwhich is usually there nonethe-less - is that MIT is what it

-should be, that breadth anddiversity and "university-ness"are not what MIT is about; thisview regards students who com-plain about MIT as misfits who,unlike the majority, just don'tbelong here. The results of thesurvey show both of thesearguments are wrong.

To those who say that com-plaining students are just missingsome aspect of MIT, the reportoffers this statement:

Alumni refer to the Insti-tute most frequently as ascientific-, engineering-, orresearch-oriented institution;rarely did they speak of it asa college or university ...

Clearly, if most of a representa-tive alumni sample don't seeMIT as fulfilling its role as auniversity, then there is more ofa perception problem than beLievers in the first argumeht

would admit to. MIT is notsuccessfully being a "university"if its students and former stu-dents don't think it has fulfilledits role.

The second argument is moresubtle, and harder to deal with.MIT's rhetoric in the last severalyears has stressed the impor-tance of becoming a university,while at the same tirme preser-ving the Institute's uniqueness inits strength in science andtechnology. Still, there seems tobe a sentiment among some ofthe faculty, and among somestudents, that the Institute'sfunction is not to give learningexperiences in broad educationalterms, but to train professionallyori e nte d - specialists. Thesepeople cite the large number ofstudents who don't try to beanything but specialists, profes-sionals in their chosen fields, assupport for the argument thatMIT shouldn't try to be auniversity.

This argument, however,doesn't stand in the light of thealumni survey. Two-fifths of therespondents told interviewersthat MIT should take an "active

administration, or some segmentof MIT officialdom, chose theweek of Spring Vacation topublicize the results of thealumni survey conducted lastspring by the Analytical Studiesand Planning Group. The surveyreport, originally published inJanuary, was summarized in afour-page Tech Talk supplementlast week.

It's a shame that thereport was publicized when amajority of the student bodycould be expected to be awayfrom MIT, because the surveyhas a lot of material that shouldbe of great interest to students.Surprisingly, the survey report isa document that bears stronglyon the quality of life at MIT,now as well as in the past.

The alumni respondents pro-vided strong backing for a viewof MIT life that has been calledin the past "the MIT malady"-the view that many things arelacking from MIT that wouldserve to make this a much betterplace to live and work, thatwould improve the educationavailable to MIT students, andthat would make MIT what theupper echelons of the Institutehave been claiming for sometime it is - a modern university.

While pointing up the "posi-tive and often extremely favor-able comments" volunteered byrespondents about MIT educa-tion, the report also shows that asignificant number of alumni feltthat MIT students were narrowin their studies and interests;that research activities drawmore faculty interest than teach-ing or student interaction; thatstudents did not seem to care tointeract with other studentsaround them; and that MIT wascold and impersonal, almost likea factory turning out a product.

Alumni comments chosen toillustrate points in the reportbear out these views. Onealumnus, asked if he would go toMIT again if he were of collegeage, responded that he would"just grit my, teeth and do itagain." Another alumnus said hetold his children not to attendMIT; a third was quoted assaying, "Work dominated thingsand limited the explorations ofrelationships. I wondered howpeople felt about other people."

Such comments were appar-ently made often; the report saidthat one-third of the respon-dents had mixed feelings abouttheir MIT experiences, and oneeighth expressed negative feel-ings. At the same time, most ofthe alumni made positive state-ments about the value of theirMIT educations -- three-quarterssaid that they would attend the

Institute again, many com-mnented that MIT's reputationhad been useful in their careers,and most praised MI[T's facultyand quality of education intechnical fields, and the useful-ness of what they learned at MITto their careers.

In short, the survey indicatedthat most alumni are happy with"pragmatic assessments" of theireducation, in dollar and promo-tion and career terms; while atthe same time they expressdoubts about the human valueof MhIT in their lives. Theseresults would seem to bear upthe contentions of generationsof student activists and otherswho have said that MIT isnarrow, lopsided in its emphasison technical education, and lackshumanity.

There are two arguments thathave often been used in opposi-tion to those contentions. Thefirst is that the contentions arewrong; that. students who havecomplained about MIT's narrow-ness and lack of humanity justaren't seeing all there is to see ofMIT, and are missing someessential ingredients that contra-

If I were a king (or presidentof MIT, anyway) I'd -call inCartwheel, or whatever his nameis, over there in Philosophy, andask him how things are in hisdepartment. I mean, I wouldnever understand exactly whatphilosophy was, being an electri-cal engineer and all, but I dohave to see to it that all thecorners are worn off our studentsby the time they graduate, somaybe I'd talk to him aboutthat. I'd call him in and ask. . .

"Well, Dick, how's tricks?"

'"Yeah, as a matter of fact, itwas. Why?"

"That clod always screws uphis proofs. Give him a black-board, and he gets more thingsbackwards than Weisskopf."

"Well, could you at least setthe kid straight? He's been havingtrouble sleeping since the class."

'Nope.""Come again?""I'm sorry, Jerry, but I can't

do that.""Why nlot?""Well, if Grobinski showed

this kid a proof that God doesn'texist, then a proof exists thatshows that God doesn't exist,and therefore He doesn't."

'"Wait a minute, I thoughtyou said he had it backwards."

"He did, obviously. But nowwe're stuck with it. A proofs aproof - backwards, forwards,inside out. I always warnedGrobinski about this."

"Well, what are you going todo about it?"

"First off, publish it. Thatway, maybe we can save ourskins."

"But doesn't this undermineyour credibility a bit? I mean, ifyou can prove God exists, andstill prove that He doesn't exist,do,sn't this mean the end ofphilosophy?"

"No way, baby. D'you think Iwant to go back to being.a usedcar salesman now, with theeconomy the-way it' is?'i"

"By showing your contemptfor my discipline, sir, you haveunveiled your ignorance."

"Huh? Oh, don't take is per-sonally, man, I'm just wonderinghow things are going in yourundergraduate humanities, sub-jects. I was speaking to one ofmy advisees the other day, andhe was quite distressed. It seemsthat one of your instructorsproved that God didn't existand .. "

"Wait a minute, was itGrobinski?"

To the Editor:I found Mr. McNamee's

March 18 article (column],"Professional MIT: forgetlearning," very disappointing. Ithink Mr. McNamee could standto learn some manners. Only intwo paragraphs at the end of hisarticle does he attempt sub-stantive criticism of the ideasstated by Professors Melcher,Gould, and Senturia. Most of thearticle is devoted to argument byemotional insult with phrasessuch as "...twisted views ofeducation... older, allegedlywiser minds... destructive, anti-humane perspective on educa-tion .reactionaries." Suchrhetoric is as inappropriate as itis incorrect, It says little for Mr.

McNamee's ability to reason.I think Mr. McNamee's cen-

tral thesis in invalid. People docome to MIT to learn usefulinformation which will makethem employable - profes-sionally trained. Those wishingto "explore" or "adjust to them-selves" would be well advised togo into liberal arts or perhapsthe Hare Krishnas. I suspect thatmost of those who suplort Pass/No Credit, grade inflation, andunlimited course dropping wantprofessional training but wouldalso like to appear more profes-sionally competent than theyare. Elaborate rationalizationssuch as Mr. McNamee's don'tdisguise their motives.

Montgomerypicked by UAto play concert

By Margaret BrandeauThe James Montgomery Blues

Band has been selected by theUndergraduate Association toplay at the Kaleidoscope concertApril 25, according to UA VicePresident Jim Moody '75.

The annual spring concert, tobe held in Rockwell Cage, willfeature unlimited free beer."We're going to try to have fourand a half hours of solid music,"said Moody. The event, he said,"will be a combination beerblast-concert-party."

The UA will pay the band$2500, and plans to spend atotal of $9000 on the concert.Moody said that the UA hopesto sell 3000 tickets for theconcert at $3 each to break even.

Over the past three years, theUA has lost a total of $13,000on the various concerts it hassponsored. "If we lose money onthis concert," said Moody,"there may not be any concertsat MIT for many years tocome." He explained that, withthe tighter budget the UA has towork with, "we just-can't affordto keep up this kind of loss."Last year the UA lost $6000 onthe Aerosmith concert heldduring Kaleidoscope Weekend.

In order to sell tickets,Moody said that the UA mayhave a ticket contest, with aprize going to whoever sells themost tickets. However, this didnot work very well last year, headded, because "some peoplegot over anxious and sold ticketsto urchins," or Cambridge highschool students.

Other events slated for Kalei-doscope weekend, April 25-27,are the Institute Screw Contest,car smashing, silk screening andpottery making, a tricycle race,and a beer drinking contest. LSCwill also be showing the movieGone With the Wind that week-end.

By Lawrence D. David(L-awrence D. David '75 is

MIT's varsity baseball manager.)The MIT baseball team got

off to its best Start ever bywinning six of seven games on itssouthern trip last week, as theBeavers began their quest foranother trip to the NCAA play-offs.

Coach Fran O'Brien's squadmotored all the way from Bos-ton to Melbourne, Florida, anddespite the tiring drive, com-pletely outclassed the FloridaInstitute of Technology on Fri-day, March 21, 7-0, behind thetwo-hit pitching of Mike Royal'76.

Royal had a no-hitter for6-2/3 innings and contributedtwo hits, a walk, and two RBI tothe twelve-hit Beaver attack,which was highlighted by seniorfirst baseman Herb Kummer'ssolo homer in the seventhinning. Royal finished up withfouteen strikeouts and issuedonly two walks.

The following day, theBeavers ran into a pesky FlaglerCollege nine at St. Augustine,and held only a slim 6-5 leadover the Saints after five innings.

Junior Don Proper's fiveinnings of clutch relief pitchingprotected the razor-thin margin,but after eight frames, it was still6-5. In the ninth, center fielderSteve Edelson '76 drilled an 0-1fastball from Flagler's ace JimCrory over the left field fence.Edelson's three-run, 360-footblast iced the game, 9-5.

Steve had another hit to gowith his home run, and he andleft fielder Vince Maconi '76each stole four bases, an MITsingle-game record. The Beaversas a team swiped twelve, also agame record. Proper got the vic-tory, with Rick Olson '78 finish-ing up in the ninth.

Sunday's game with Flaglerwas anticlimactic as the Beaverssteamrolled the Saints, 15-1.MIT collected 15 hits, includinga three-for-three, three RBI per-formance by left fielder DavidLockwood '75. The Beaversscored nine runs in the thirdinning for Kenny Smith '77,who pitched the first six inningsatid claimed the victory.

On Monday and Tuesday,MIT faced Embry-Riddle Aero-nautical at the Montreal Expos'training camp in Daytona Beach.In the first game, the Beaverswere tied, 3-3, after one inning,but parlayed 19 hits and nineEmbry-Riddle errors into an18-4 rout.

Kummer had six hits andthree doubles (both MIT single-game records), four runs and sixRBI in seven trips to the plate.Shortstop Mike Dziekan '76 hada perfect day with four hits,three walks, two runs scored,and two RBI.

Royal baffled Embry-Riddlethe next day, surrendering onlythree hits and three walks ineight innings, as MIT ran itsrecord to 5-0 with a 7-0 troun-cing of the Eagles. Second base-man Roy Henriksson '76 had

three RBI and Royal had an-other good day at the-plate withtwo hits and three walks.

The roof fell in on the.Beavers at Eckerd Thursday, asPhil Johnson, who one-hit super-power Rollins College in theNCAA Florida Regionals lastyear, did not allow a hit ball tothe outfield as he twirled amasterpiece no-hitter past MIT,5-0.

-The Beavers had a horribleday in the field as well, commit-ting six errors that led to threeunearned runs. Rookie Olsoncould not get his curve ball overthe plate in the first two innings,but settled down and allowedonly six singles to the powerfulTritons.

Good teams recover quicklyfrom disappointments, and CoachO'Brien's Beavers did just thaton Friday, rebounding pastArmstrong State College inSavannah, Georgia, by a score of4-1. Royal was touched for fourfirst-inning singles, but was un-conquerable the rest of the way,as the Beaver defense pulled off

two double plays, Royal pickedoff a runner,- and catcher DanSundberg '77 gunned downanother trying to steal, to keepArmstrong off tie board.

For five innings the Beaverscould manage only two doublesoff curve-baller Stanley Walker.However, Walker lost control ofhis breaking pitch in the sixthand issued three walks and hit abatter to force in a run. Hisreplacement immediately walkedanother with the bases loaded. toforce in the -eventual game-winner.

MIT garnished two more runsin the eighth and Royal pocket-ed his third victory of the trip.In his 25 innings of work theBeavers' ace hurler gave up onlyone run (0.36 ERA) and couldbe on his way to the best seasonever for an MIT pitcher.

The 6-1 Beavers open theirnorthern schedule against Bos-ton College at 3:00prm Tuesdayat Briggs Field, followed byhome games against Lowell Techon Friday (also 3:00) andBoston State on Sunday at 1:30.

By Glenn BrownsteinAfter rolling up a 9-2 lead

midway through the secondperiod, the MIT varsity lacrosseteam held on to defeat Roches-ter, 12-8, at Briggs Field Satur-day, snapping the Engineers'28-game losing streak, longest ofits kind in the country.

MIT's last win prior toSunday was on April 29, 1972,when the Engineers defeatedTrinity, 13-4.

The major reasons for MIT'svictory were balanced scoringand consistent ballhandling. Incontrast to last year's 'meageroffense, which usually consistedof giving the ball to co-captainGeorge Braun '75 and waitingfor him to shoot, the Engineers'skillfully demonstrated a quick,switching, fast-moving attackresulting in 42 shots (24 on net)and twelve goals.

Braun led MIT scorers withtwo goals and five assists, butthe rest of the team gave himstrong backing as Bob Connor'75 netted four shots, EvanSchwartz '75 scored three timesand assisted on another goal, andBob Laurenson '75 added threeother tallies.

Al Epstein '75 and defense-man Rick Bye '75 each addedone assist to complete theEngineering scoring.

Reflecting MIT's significantimprovement frorn last yearwere the team statistics, as theEngineers succeeded on 73% oftheir clears (51% average last

year) and scored onfour of theirfirst five man-advantage situa-tions and on six of 15 overall(the team averaged one power-

.play goal in every ten attemptslast year).

The Engineers totally domi-nated first-half play, opening4-1 and 9-4 leads at the end ofthe first and second periods,respectively. Although MITlooked a bit sluggish late in thegame, allowing Rochester tomake the score relatively close,the Engineers generally played asolid all-around game in handingRochester a loss in the first gameof its Boston spring trip.

This year, the varsity lacrosseteam spent its spring vacation inFlorida, practicing daily andplaying unofficial games againstlocal teams.

MIT won one of four gameson the trip, losing to FloridaInternational, Notre Dame, andthe Miami Lacrosse Club, butshocked previously unbeatenMiami, 10-7, as goalie Jeff Singer'77 made 25 saves irrholding offthe powerful Hurricane attack.

The most important factor inthe Engineers' recent winningefforts has been good coaching,as first-year coach Walter Alessiand assistants Harry GarabedianG and Bob Schulte '72 havemolded a well-disciplined andwell-conditioned squad thatshould improve greatly over lastyear's 0-11 mark.

Wu easily defeated his op-ponent, scoring one half-pointon a counter-punch and thesecond and winning half-pointon a front kick. Alvarez showedhis steadily improving form byscoring both half-points on adifficult j ab-counterpunch-roundhouse kick combination.

The second match of theevening was against Boston Col-lege and here the inexperienc.e ofthe MIT team showed in a 3-1loss.

Beginner Howard Hiller G forMIT was ineffective, losing to hismore experienced BC opponent.Jim Davis G and Marty Cybul Gwere defeated despite makingtheir best efforts of the year.

Carlos' reach, combined witha fast front roundhouse kick,kept Wu out of effective attack-ing -range. MIT's only victoryagainst BC was by team captainMilton Austin '76, who madeeffective use of a fast jab-counterpunch combination.
