Q: Have there been any preliminary results from the De-fense Department's internal investigation of the matter?A: That is not completed yet; I hope it will be availablenext week [the week of Jan. 12].Q: How effective are Soviet anti-ballistic missile defenses?A: There are two kinds of ABM systems. They have atraditional ground-based ABM. It is interconnected witha very large number of quite sophisticated radar. So thatour B-52s (at least after a year or two) probably won't beable to penetrate it in any way safely. The B-Is will. Wehave a new advanced bomber which will be coming online in the early 1990s which we think will be table to pene-trate very nicely because it uses Stealth technology.

What you do when you cutyour defense budget is you take achance .... It just adds to therisk, because it adds to the Sovietbelief that they could make asuccessful attack.

I think those defenses, particularly around Moscow, arequite strong. We started such a system in North Dakota,and abandoned it, after we'd invested $1 billion a longtime ago. One of the reasons was that it was only about50 percent effective [against missiles).

The Soviets have been working, for 17 years, on a stra-tegic defense system. That is what we have started afterthe President's speech in 1983. They are further alongthan we are, which isn't surprising, in some aspectslaser work and some of the directed energy physics.

Some of it is technology they have stolen from us overthe years, or that we improvidently sold them. One way oranother they have made very good progress. But they donot have, and they are not now ready to deploy, a trulystrategic defense system ... that would block and destroymissiles before they hit targets on earth. /

They try to block us, and they try to persuade us tostop it. They try to get agreements that will forbid it. ButI hope we never sign such an agreement. In the first place,they are not verifiable in any way. Secondly, I think itwould be a lot better world if we had effective defensesagainst nuclear missiles. It would not just enable us tohave agreements to cut them out, or to eliminate them,but we would have absolute assurance that they couldn'tget through.Q: Will the Soviets hold to the ABM treaty?A: They have broken the ABM treaty already. They brokethe ABM treaty with their radar out at Krasnoyarsk. Itsprimary, and sole, purpose is to complement, and workwith, a system to defend against missiles of the kind thatis forbidden by the ABM treaty. We are getting prettyclose to the point where we would be able to possible de-ploy parts of such a system. The ABM treaty does forbiddeployment, but the ABM treaty provides that signatoriescan state that they will no longer be bound by it, andafter [six months], they are free.Q: How is the SDI program progressing?A: It is coming along very well . .. much more rapidlythan we thought possible.Q: Do you see a possible deployment date for SDI in themid-1990s?A: I would hope we get it sooner than that.Q: How do you perceive the role of universities in defenseresearch?A: We would like universitites to be able to maintain anacademic environment and to have full and perfect free-dom. We are convinced that the only way that will be sureto happen is for us to be strong militarily. We like to go tothe places where the best capabilities are, and that is theuniversities, for research and for ways of keeping thecountry strong and free. I think there is a great contribu-tion universities could make, and it is something we hopethey would want to make.

I don't find anything incompatible with it, and ...think it is an essential part of good citizenship. Most ofthis research has a very important civilian aspect and fall-out. By every token I think it is an important thing to do.I cannot conceive of any argument for not doing it. Thietheory that if we, in particular, universities do not do re-search into military matters, then somehow that will con-tribute to the world's peace and freedom, is about as dan-gerously wrong as it can be.

We do have to have a verylarge amount of money. Wewould much rather not haveto. -But we do not know of anyother way that we can re-equip, modernize, and keepready the forces that we needto deter attack. I

The Soviets do this, without any publicity, without anypublic opinion, without the slightest opposition. Theyalso steal our technology whenever they can and copy it.it is vital that we keep the one major lead that the Westhas and put it to use. I assume and accept and ferventlybelieve in our good use of that in preserving our freedomand our peace. I would very much hope that the universi-ties, as one of the best places to help the country in thisregard would want to do so.

By Harold A. SternCaspar W. Weinberger was nominated by President

Reagan to be secretary of defense in Dec. 1980, and wasconfirmed by the US Senate on Jan. 20, 1981.

Weinberger, 59, earned an AB degree from Harvardand an LLB from Harvard Law School. He joined thearmy as a private in the infantry during World War II,and left active duty four years later as a captain.

Under President Nixon, Weinberger was chairman ofthe Federal Trade Commission, director of the Offce ofManagement and Budget, and secretary of Health, Edu-cation, and Welfare, a position he also held under Presi-dent Ford until his 1975. resignation. Before becoming sec-retary of defense, Weinberger was vice president andgeneral counsel of the Bechtel Group.

This interview was held with representatives from 11campus newspapers. Weinberger first addressed the mili-tary budget proposals for Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989, andthen opened the floor to questions.

[Two consecutive years of negative real growth] in themilitary budget has had very bad effects on our ability todo the things we have to do to protect the country. Weshouldn't concentrate too much on just percentage growthor percentage figures or dollar increases. We ought reallyto look at why we need a defense budget at all, which isof course because of the threat to our national interestsand our own agenda.

I think it would be a lotbetter world if we had effectivedefenses against nuclearmissiles.

We have a very limited agenda. All we really want is tobe left alone in peace and freedom and have that for ourallies. We have no aggressive tendencies. We want to dothings to protect ourselves; we want to do things that pre-vent [the] defense of our nation [from] being complicatedby aggression, or by lodgement in our areas of bases fromwhich aggression could be launched.

Essentially, we have had the same basic strategy thathas been adopted and followed by this country at leastsince World War II - that is, to be strong enough to de-ter an attack on us. That involves, in a sense, getting intothe minds of potential enemies - primarily the SovietUnion - and trying to figure the degree of retaliatory ca-pability that would convince them that they couldn'tmake a successful [first] strike.

It is always a difficult thing under that kind of strategyto figure how much is enough. If we do not have enoughwe will not know it until it is too late to do anythingabout it. We try to do what we can to maintain the degreeof strength that will prevent anyone attacking us.

During the 1970s, [defense spending declined] 20 per-cent in real terms. That happened to coincide with thesecond decade of Soviet expansion. So our ability to detereroded substantially during that period.

As [the Reagan administration] came into office in Jan-uary 1981, we found that we had to do a very great deal.We had to modernize our entire strategic defenses all atonce. They hadn't been modernized for over 20 years. Wealso had to build up our conventional strength and regainour morale.

Almost everyone at my confirmation hearings in 1981insisting that we needed a draft. The president and I werestrongly opposed to a draft because of the way it practi-cally pulled the country apart during the Vietnam years.We wanted to make the volunteer system succeed; wethink [that has been] our greatest accomplishment.

The all-volunteer system has been working extraordi-narily well. We are now getting all the people, and more,than we can use. If you want to go into the military, youhave to wait now.

We are getting very high-quality people. Ninety-six per-cent high school graduates, many more people in groupsone to three on the aptitude tests, fewer ones in groupsfour and below. We are retaining over 50 percent re-enlist-ments after one year as opposed to about 30 percent a fewyears ago. All of those statistics are very encouraging.

We have a very limitedagenda. All we really want is tobe left alone in peace andfreedom an d hav e that for ourallies. We have no aggressivetendencies.

These two budgets that we now submit call, after twoyears of negative growth, for a three percent growth inreal terms. Essentially, that is to continue the moderniza-tion of the strategic systems which is just about completednow, and to regain some increased conventional strength.Mostly, it is to add to the readiness of the forces we have.

The force strength remains pretty much level for thenext two or three years. There are some increases in thenavy as more ships come on line, but basically, no in-crease in strength, no increase in number of units. Somefewer units [result from] consolidation in the air force.

[NWe are asking for] substantial allocations after a cou-ple of years of drout to research and development invest-

Harold A. Stern/The Tech

Q: Realistically, what do you think your chances of get-ting a three percent real growth in the fiscal 1988 budgetare?A: I never try to guess what the Congress is going to do.All I can really say is that it is urgently needed. I think wewould be putting ourselves at a much greater risk if wedon't get at least that much.

This is not a budget that allowed much expansion.There is only about five or ten percent new starts in thatbudget. The rest of it is maintenance, additional readi-ness, additional sustainability, personnel benefits, thingsof that kind, with a fair amount for some new researchand development. About two percent of it is Strategic De-fense Initiative. About 13 percent for strategic nuclearforces. The rest of it is conventional personnel and so on.I _

The theory that if . . .·universities do not do researchinto, military matters, thensomehow that will contribute tothe world's peace andfreedom, is about as dangerouslywrong as it can be. `

What you do when you cut your defense budget is youtake a chance. It is exactly like sharply reducing or elimi-nating insurance policies. It just adds to the risk, becauseit adds to the Soviet belief that they could make a success-ful attack. That weakens deterrence.Q: What effect do you think the Iranian arms deal had onmorale, and the likelihood of Congress approving an in-creased military budget?A: I hope it wouldn't have any effect on either one. Noneof those events, whatever they may be (and we really donot know yet, and they should be investigated thorough-ly), changed the necessities of the United States to bestrong enough to deter an attack. None of them shouldhave any effect on morale or the willingness or the desireof people to serve in the military, which has been extraor-dinarily good. They don't change the basic system: theydon't reduce the threat against us from the Soviets, andthey don't reduce the need for the country to stay strong.Q: How do you think the President can best get over theaffair? Should it be downplayed?A: I think he should continue doing what he is doing,which is calling for full disclosures and full investigations,and begging the Senate [committee] to release their re-port.Q: Is it true, as The New York Times reported, that whenyou and Secretary of State George Shultz PhD '49 wereinformed of the possibility of the alleged arms deal inJanuary 1986, you expressed the opinion that it shouldnot be done?A: Yes, we have testified to that effect in committee.

ments in the future, so that we can try and make sure thatwe can apply the latest and the best technology to thepeople who are in uniform defending us.

The structure of the budget is important. Close to half- about 45 to 47 percent, depending upon the year -goes to personnel. Salaries, retirement, medical benefits,educational benefits, are things that add to, and are vitalto, the quality of life. The comparable figure in the Sovietmilitary budget is nine percent, which says quite a lotabout the differences between the societies.

We do have to have a very large amount of money. Wewould much rather not have to. But we do not know ofany other way that we can re-equip, modernize, and keepready the forces that we need to deter attack. The defensebudget is still only about six percent of the gross nationalproduct; it used to be eight percent. In the 1950s it wasabout 14 percent of the gross national product.

The defense budget is 28 percent of the total budget ofthe United States. That is a great deal less than it was inthe 1960s, and a great deal less than it was in the '50s,when it was actually over 55 percent of the federal bud-get.

We do not think we are in a situation where we are inany way exhorbitant. We don't think we are in a situationwhere the country can't afford it. If we can't afford tokeep our freedom then it would be a very different choice.

it calls a "spy of the Zionist regime." The person enteredIran with a false passport and masqueraded as a journal-ist, the report continued. Iran recently took 57 foreign re-porters to the front of the war with Iraq, but there is noword on whether the alleged spy was part of that group.(AP) L= -l

United States knew of arms sales'High Pentagon officials knew more than a year ago of

plans by private arms dealers to illegally ship 39 Americanfighter planes and large numbers of other weapons -more than $1 billion worth - to Iran, but did not stopthe sales, according to confidential documents and partici-pants who informed the government. Two congressionalcommittees and a federal special prosecutor are currentlyinvestigating American arms sales to Iran.

The efforts were allowed to continue because militaryofficials hoped to gain intelligence information, includinginformation on Iran as well as advanced Soviet tanks thatthe Iranians had captured from Iraq, the sources said.

Although the Pentagon confirmed that it knew of thedealings by Dec. 1985, various arms dealers said in inter-views that some high Government officials knew of theproject by early 1984. (The New York Times)

To the Editor:If it were given today, the sen-

ior class gift would be as mean-ingless as the gifts that have beengiven in the past. Class govern-ment has seen to it that no for-mal, binding class consensus willbe taken. The class council hasbent.over backwards to please theMIT bureaucracy before seeingto the wishes of those the councilprofesses to represent.

MIT, via the Alumni Office,has found a very apathetic classgovernment and has been very in-sistent that its wishes be heededby this government. According toBarbara Peterson, student pro-grams coordinator for the MITalumni fund, "We cannot worktowards a gift that does not di-rectly benefit MIT."

It is not clear that the seniorclass wants a gift. The Class of1987 has failed to provide the in-put necessary to consider any giftas representative of the class'wish. Is a handful of responseson a mailed survey an adequatereason to have any gift whatso-ever?

Nonetheless, the senior classgift selection process forgesahead, or more accurately, ismerely helped along. Traditional-ly, the senior class council has

Another beginniengToday's issue marks the beginning of the 107th year of publi-

cation of The Tech. As new editorial staffs assume their posi-tions, there is often a shifting of priorities, a change in editori-al stances. But since 1881, the 'paper's primary goal hasremained unchanged: "To publish a newspaper on a regularbasis, and to provide experience in journalism and publishingfor students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

The Tech is dependent upon the continued participation andsupport of the student body for its survival. MIT has no jour-nalism department from which we might recruit staff, and pro-vides no financial support or any other sort of supervision.

We hope to continue receiving the support of the studentbody, and pledge to maintain the highest possible standards,including the fair and accurate reporting of news events thataffect the MIT community. We will continue to serve as a fo-rum for the community to discuss issues that shape our campusand our world, from all points of view - not only the view-points popular with our editors.

Tomorrow afternoon, the sec-ond MIT Colloquium on SouthAfrica is being held. Because it islikely to be very educationalabout South Africa and the roleof foreign investment there, we ofthe Coalition Against Apartheidand People Against Racism urgeeveryone to attend.

However, those who attendshould recognize that this Collo-quium is different from most. Inaddition to being educational, it,like the South Africa colloquiumheld a year ago last fall, is also apolitical event. I don't mean thisin the sense that the problem inSouth Africa is a political prob-lem (although it is), but that theexistence of this colloquium is aproduct of the politics here atMIT.

Therefore, to regard it as sim-ply another in a series of primar-ily educational forums would beto overlook an essential compo-nent necessary for understandingwhat goes on tommorrow inKresge, in the Student Centerand especially at the evening dis-cussions in living groups withMIT Corporation members.

What will go on tomorrow willbe another event in the ongoingpolitical struggle within the MITcommunity. Although the appar-ent focus of this struggle is the

South Africa divestment issue,the essence of it is somethingmore. For it is not merely a dif-ference of opinion over the effec-tiveness of this or that tactic foropposing apartheid that is atstake, as President Paul E. Gray'54 would have us believe, butrather a fundamental conflict ofpriorities.

On the one hand are the priori-ties of the MIT Corporation.This is the group of people whomake the important decisionsabout how MIT will be run.Their priorities are first and fore-most-the priorities of corporatecapital. And these are, as they al-ways have been, profit and con-trol.

On the other hand are the in-terests and priorities of humanlives. Not only the lives of blackSouth Africans, but of peoplehere at MIT and in the surround-ing community as well. I amthinking particularly of MIT'sfood service workers whose hard-earned pensions MIT is nowsummarily eliminating, or of theresidents of Cambridgeport,whose housing concerns MIT ig-nores while taking over theirneighborhood.

The human priorities of thesepeople, however, are largely ig-nored. After all, according to the

corporate priorities of profit andcontrol, such people aren't reallyvery important. They are mostlypoor and have little power overeven their own lives. They are faraway in South Africa or they arein the way here, and, in any case,they don't have much money anda lot of them are black, so whocares?

Tomorrow at the Colloquiumthe members of the Corporationwill present you with an image.The image will be that the Cor-poration is concerned about thepeople of South Africa, that itwants to do what is best for bothMIT and South Africa and thatthe reason they are participatingin the Colloquium is to learnabout the issue and find out whatstudents think so they can betterassess the divestment question.

That image is a lie. After deal-ing with the MIT administrationand Corporation on this issue foralmost two years now, we in theCAA have learned that such inm-agei often have little content.

Last spring, for example, theCorporation announced ["ACSRaffirms Sullivan principles,"March 4] that MIT was divesting$6.5 million worth of stocks be-cause they were in Sullivan Cate-gory III companies (Category III

been responsible for organizingthe gift selection process. Theysend out surveys to class mem-bers, but do not reach everybody. From the returned surveys, thecouncil narrows the possibilities.

Uncomfortable with the lackof feeling and thought that such agift would undoubtedly have, Idecided to challenge this tradi-tion. Last October, I introducedto the senior class council thepossibility of donating our classgift to the MIT Endowment forDivestiture.

My motivation for doing thiswas as clear and as compellingthen as it is now: I strongly be-lieve it is a common goal ofmany MIT seniors to destroy theracist apartheid system in SouthAfrica. I also find it popularamong my classmates that donat-ing directly to MIT, while it isstill carrying out business as usu-al in that country, is in directconflict with many of their valuesand beliefs. The Endowment forDivestiture would be a way ofgiving money to MIT withoutsupporting the systematic slaugh-ter and detention of thousands ofanti-apartheid activists.

At that meeting of the classcouncil I asked for full supportfor this very appropriate and uni-

fying senior class gift, which byits mere existence would send amost meaningful message fromthe Class of 1987 to all presentand future students, faculty, staffand administration.

In order to keep the classaware of these developments, Iwrote an open letter to GraceUeng '87, class president, pro-posing a binding class-wide, pref-erential ballot vote to decide on asenior class gift. In that letter["Senior class should hold vote todetermine class gift," Dec. 9] Ialso proposed that the EFD be onthat ballot.

Finals week ended, IAP beganand my previous optimism dwin-dled. Ueng never responded tomy letter. A sympathetic classcouncil member alerted me to ascheduled council meeting wherethis issue would be decided ononce and for all.

I'was furious. What happenedto the class vote? What happenedto the plan which would demo-cratically decide the single high-est symbolic act any one classcould give to its ahnlma mater?

I acted quickly. BarbaraPeterson said that because dona-tions to EFD would not go di-rectly to MIT, or at least into anaccount MIT has control over,

To the Editor:In a Nov. 25 guest column

["Evidence of faculty racismquestionable"], Professor ArthurMattuck expressed concern atquotations from the 1985 BlackAlumni Survey which accuse thefaculty of racist behavior.

He wrote, "When the reporton sexual harassment came out,it struck resonant chords: we allknew faculty with sexist attitudesand we had heard stories. Bycontrast, the minority reportcaught me by surprise: I don'tknow of any racist mathematicsfaculty, and have heard nostories."

I chaired the committee whichissued the sexual harassment re-port in 1980. 1 make two obser-vations based on that experience.

The first has to do with visibil-ity and belief. Sexual harassmenthad been invisible by convention,in our society, and at MIT. Somemembers of our committee hadheard a few stories, but we allheard much more when we beganto ask.

Racial harassment has certainlybeen visible in the society at largefor some time, but most facultydon't expect it at MIT and aresurprised by reports of its pres-ence. I expect that we will hearmore about the incidents in ourpopulation of black colleaguesand students now that we havestarted to ask about their exper-ience here.

The sexual harassment com-mittee heard a few real "horrorstories" about the behavior ofsome of our faculty towards theirstudents. I could hardly believemy colleagues capable of suchbehavior.

The Racial Climate on the MITCampus states that about 15 per-cent of the 137 black alumni re-spondents voluntarily mentionedspecific racial incidents involvingMIT faculty. That amounts to 20events, likely involving fewer fac-ulty members, not all real horrorstories.

If all these incidents are realand each is reported only once,then these sketchy numbers sug-gest an expectation of less thanone racist incident at the "horrorstory" level in the mathematicsfaculty. Professor Mattuck's esti-mate that there are no racist fac-ulty in the mathematics depart-ment may be correct.

But I no longer find it unbe-lievable that the least considerateone percent of the MIT facultymay show some bizarre, insensi-tive and gross behavior, at leastuntil administrative and faculty

action makes it clear that suchbehavior is unacceptable.

It is encouraging that the re-porting of complaints which Pro-fessor Mattuck urges is judged byMary Rowe to have been some-what successful in sexual harass-ment cases since the 1980 report.For example, a much larger frac-tison of the complainants are nowwilling to discuss incidents direct-ly with those they accused. Veryfew persons with whom a com-plaint has been discussed havebeen the subject of a later com-plaint.

The fraction of complaintswhich represent real "horrorstories" has decreased greatly.The typical time between an inci-dent and complaint ahs droppedfrom years or months to days.No level of sexual harassment issatisfactory, but the number ofcomplaints has not grown whilethe population of women at MIThas. Administrative and facultyaction on sexual harassment mayhave helped bring about thosechanges. Further action may helpgenerate more, and more promptand successful, complaint report-ing in racial cases.

My second point has to dowith the wide differences betweenthe perceptions of the two partiesin a typical incident leading to asexual harassment complaint.Even in some "horror stories,"the two perceptions were that athesis supervisor had issued aflattering and exciting invitation,'while his student had received anauseating and coarsely -stateddemand, to be denied only at the.cost of her professional career.

Perceptions may be even fur-ther at variance in less extreme

cases. Misplaced chivalry canmake it difficult for women tolearn how to do their own experi-mental work. Misplaced benevo-lence can lead some faculty, wholack Professor Mattuck's sensitiv-ity, to give easy tasks to minoritystudents. People with these mo-tives would like to be helpful, butsome of us need to learn how.Others use words and phrases-which are perceived as racist, butnot by the speaker.

Professor Mattuck gave abeautiful example from his MITexperience:

Many years ago, the math-ematics department held up thegraduation of a student; he feltthis was unjust. A year later thecase was discussed again in an In-stitute committee, and I wasurged to give him his degree with"Look, you've already gottenyour pound of flesh. "J As it happens, I am Jewish andthe student was obviously not. Iwas sure then and now that thefaculty member who made thatremark was and is not antisemi-tic, but after 15 years the mem-

. ory is still fresh.A Jewish student, less mature

and generous than ProfessorMattuck, exposed to a number ofsuch faculty comments duringfour years at MIT, might wellconclude that MIT was an unwel-coming and anti-Semitic environ-ment and say so when asked tocomment on the MIT experiencein a telephone poll of Jewishalumni. Surely the issue Mat-tuck's story raises is not whetherthe Institute committee memberwas or is anti-Semitic, but how tosensitize him so that he stops

To the Editor:The SCC midnight movie of

Jan. 24, "Midnight Express,"caused much distress among theMIT Turkish community -enough so that the MIT TurkishStudent Association distributedleaflets before its showing.

The movie concerns the arrestfor drug smuggling out of Turkeyof a young American, WilliamHayes, and his subsequent con-viction, imprisonment and es-cape.

The movie is "based" on a truestory, but deviates wildly fromsome of the most basic facts aspublished in the book with thesame title.

The prison where he was actu-ally incarcerated was a minimumsecurity facility located on an is-landin the Aegean Sea. It had no

walls and the prisoners were al-lowed to swim in the sea. Theprisoners also had jobs pickingfruit of which they ate. These fewexamples alone indicate condi-tions much different from thoseportrayed in the movie.

But this is not the offense. Isimply pointed out these detailsto say that as the movie misrepre-sents Billy Hayes' story, it alsogrossly misrepresents the charac-ter of the Turkish people. I havepersonally found Turkish peopleto be quite friendly, loyal andhospitable. The movie may dealwith some interesting themes andexperiences, but it does not re-present the Turkish people anymore realistically than "Dallas"or "'Dynasty" represent theAmerican people.

This alternative layout was acomposite of MIT.students' de-sign projects based on interviewsof community residents,Fernandez explained_ He saidthat this model was highly specif-ic since it was composed from de-tailed layouts. Neither the BlueRibbon Committee nor the CityCouncil has so far consideredthis model.

Councillor Saundra Grahamcommented, 'The communitycan accept this [Blue Ribbon]plan or tear it up . . . This maynot be the best report because ofcompromises, but if we do noth-ing, MIT has the right to build.We need to put some controls onMIT."

Representatives from MIT andits developer, Forest City, wouldonly agree to a proposal thatwould be acceptable to MIT, andtheir position became "too muchof a limitation" in formulating aproposal, said Councillor CasperSullivan.

Chermayeff said the committeemade many compromises. He ex-plained, "A sterile office environ-ment was desired by MIT andForest Cities [while] the rest ofthe Blue Ribbon committee want-ed shared territory - R&D [re-search and development] mixingwith community, making publicspace a place full of life."

The City Council appointedthe committee's nine members toplan the revitalization of Cam-bridge into "Cambridgeport In-dustriai District" in 1985. Thecommittee included representa-tives from MIT, MIT's developerForest Cities, the Cambridgecommunity, and outside planningexperts.

The committee met for twohours every two weeks, andreached the present compromiseafter a year.

THE MIT SHAKESPEARE ENSEMBLE

had only one full show last year,but it was a winner. The ac-"F claimed production of "'A Mid-

summer Night's Dream," which turned theSala de Puerto Rico into fairyland for oneweek last,November, was chosen as one ofthe best college productions in New Eng-land.

On Friday, the Ensemble will take theshow to Keene, NH, to perform at theAmerican College Theater Festival region-al competition for New England. Six otherschools are taking part in the contest:Trinity College of Hartford, CT; the Bo0s-ton Conservatory of Music, D~ance andTheater; St Michael's College ofWinooski, VT; Keene State College; theUniversity of Maine at Orono; 4nd Provi-dence College.

The seven schools were selected by sift-ing through 53 shows, which were evalulat-ed by a team of theater educators and pro-fessionals. The winners of the regionalcompetitions will be invited to the nationalfinal held in April at the Kennedy Centerin Washington, DC.

In addition, Ensemble member CarlKraenzel '87 will take part in the IreneRyan scholarship competition as part ofthe Keene festival. Andrea McGimsey '87was also invited to take part in this com-petition but decided that she did not haveenough time to devote to rehearsals.

Although the Ensemble has taken thepresent "Dream' on the road once before,to play for a group- of Alumni in New

A scene from the MIT ShakespeareYork over IAP, that performance was notdone with full costumes and staging. Bycontrast, the performance in Keene will beadapted to the demands of a 650 seatauditorium, surrendering some of the inti-macy gained in the Sala performances.

On Sunday it was time for a last run-

er Night's Dream."

Yet the show was the same. The loverswere wearing jeans and sweatpants, themechanicals performed without lion's heador wall, and Oberonx was in an MIT shirt.But the story played itself out as usual.

Well... not quite as usual. This is aspecial adaptation of 'Drearn," in whichdirector Derek Campbell has made themost of the dream motif by transposingthe waking sequences of Bottom and thelovers to the beginning of the play. The re-sult is that the whole production is not ourdream but theirs. Puck's role is playeddown, and the mechanicals are played upby making them disguised fairies, donningrustic homespun and mannerisms for theirown amusement, and ours.

While aware of the need to prepare forcompetition, the actors on Sunday weremore anxious to have fun. The roles weresometimes played as broadly as possible.Helena, for instance, swung between pre-paring to rape Demetrius and submittingto his brutalisation with masochistic de-light. Instead of props, actors grabbedwhatever happened to be lying around -a coke can, for instance, or a bananastanding in for a sword.

Campbell was left to take notes as besthe could, sorting the directorial problemsfrom the high-spirited tomfoolery. But itwas clear that none of the refined excel-lence of the production had been lost.

As Campbell judged after the rehearsal,"if the audience enjoys themselves half asmuch as you [actors] did this afternoon,we have an absolute winner."

Ensemble's production of "A Midsumethrough before the competition. A bareroom on the fourth floor of the StudentCenter was in contrast to the temporaryfairyland once constructed in the Sala. Aborder of masking tape and string on thefloor marked the beginning and end of theAthenian forest.

competitionkind of physicalization ... to representthe deformity." He demonstrated, thrust-ing out his chest, dropping one side andpulling back his twisted hands in a frozenposture which almost parodies Oberon'sfluid, stopmotion sequence of poses.

The abstraction of stance and voice pro-vides for the audience "a window to Mer-rick's soul," he said. "They can look at myface and see what I'm thinking.

"It's kind of an artistic choice, represen-tational art instead of realistic art."

Although he will not be obviously de-formed, "the other actors react as if theysee the deformity." La Flamme will pro-vide the reactions as Mrs. Kendal, a fam-ous actress who becomes Merrick's onlytrue friend.'During the scene, she claimsto be showing her true self, although shereally is acting to control her revulsion.She realizes that she is maintaining a fa-cade, and so is able to see through Mer-rick's facade to his true self.

Kraenzel decided that he wanted to dothis scene to provide a contrast to the hu-mourous Dopey scene. Dopey is a charac-ter whom Kraenzel describes as "on theslightly dim side." He elaborated, "Themonologue is on cockroaches and howthey are going to take over the world-and this is very important to him." Al-though it is not entirely offbeat, he thinksit will provide a "contrast to the heavy, de-pressing and somewhat distressing" "Ele-phant Man' scene.

Kraenzel also spoke of the upcomingEnsemble production of "King Lear"which will be performed this month inAshdown after being in the works most oflast year. By contrast to the polished anddelicate "Dream," it will be done in an ex-perimental style, he said, and will "not bepresented as a full, technically supportedproduct."

"The idea is to come and see what we'vedone," he declared.

7 is poor choicecase talentawful this is, try singing the word"Joseph" with an artificial French accent.)The musical is too short without thesenumbers but with them it seems too longby half.

Those songs also must be hammed up.The spectacle of second millenium Hebrewfarmers singing calypso is just so campythat it turns the whole production into acamp extravaganza. Realizing this, MTGrightly went for sight gags and silliness allthe way.

Judged by these standards, the showdoes rather well. It was certainly better,for instance, than the production whichhas been touring Britain since the 1970s.That is billed as "a show the whole familycan enjoy." In other words: if you havekids, bring them along; otherwise, stayhome.

There was no r6ason to stay home fromthis "Joseph." There were plenty of laughs,and most of the singing was good. Severalprincipals had real problems on openingnight, but the chorus and orchestra carriedthe day. In light of this, we will overlooksome of the timing difficulties, especiallyas the choreography was set at the lastminute.

Rix Marino sang the role of Jacob -wrongly - as an old and frail man. Buthe was better as Potiphar, neatly done upas a toffin a straw boater. His wife (LindaDulaney) was a corn-rowed flapper whostepped out of the chorus, did her stuf~and retreated with wig and costume incomplete disarray. If anyone noticed, shealso had an excellent voice.

Pharoah (Saul Resnikoff '88) was veryindistinct, and I have seen many betterElvis Presley impersonators. But his wasan entertaining song. I do not contradictmyself: I think it is fine to have characterswho wander along from different eras, butI do not like songs tossed in to lampoonvarious genres. Only the latter should becut.

The other thing I would cut is the an-noying prologue - however fetchinglysung - which makes the point that we areall dreamers, and that this might explainthe universal appeal of the story. True, weall have dreams, but not like these. Josephmade his way in life. through two things:innate political tact, and that mutantdream power.

Stephen Gilman was not as strong-voiced as a Joseph should be. His "CloseEvery Door" was sung with the pain of aconvict rather than the strength of a be-liever and would not have made a suitablefinale for the first act. Fortunately, narra-tor Denning was there to step in onceagain, with the upbeat "Go, go, goJoseph." The second act wrapped up justas well with the appealing 'Any Dreamwill Do.'

HAKESPEARE ENSEMBLE MEMBER

Carl Kraenzel '87 will take part inthe Irene Ryan scholarship compe-tition as part of the Keene Region-

al Festival. On Sunday he played Oberonas the sensual, controlled presence watch-ing over fairyland in the Ensemble's pro-duction "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

The "Dream" fairies were making care-ful, sudden motions of fingers, limbs, eyesand heads. Kraenzel's motions were pre-cise and deft, and from his positionperched at upstage center he seemed tocontrol the action of the play.

Kraenzel took a break from playingpuppet master, and I caught him in thehall outside the production room. I toldhim I would be seeing the Ryan competi-tion, travelling up on Thursday morning.

"I hope I'm still there on Thursdaymorning," he replied, explaining that theRyan competition begins on Wednesday."That would mean I'm in the finals." Sev-enty actors were invited to take part in thecompetition, from which 12 will be chosenas finalists.

Kraenzel will be given a six minute audi-tion to impress the competition judges.The time must be divided between amonologue and a scene with another actor,he explained. For his monologue, Kraenzelhas selected a speech by Dopey from"Balm in Gilead" by Lamford Wilson,which he describes as "a very depressingcomedy, well pseudo-comedy."

Kraenzel will also perform a scene from"The Elephant Man," together with AnneLaFlamme '88. He plays the title charac-ter, a Victorian called John Merrick whowas born with serious physical deformitiesand became popular in London societywhere he was regarded as a freak.

Merrick is conventionally portrayed onstage, Kraenzel explained, with "some

good. He also has a sort of mutant powerto interpret prophetic dreams. This gener-ates extreme sibling rivalry and his broth-ers sell him into slavery in Egypt.

When irn Memphis, learn to walk like anEgyptian, figures Jo, and his is soon a ris-ing star. One day he sorts out thePharoah's troubling dreanls, to everyone'srelief, and a miniature Camp David en-sues. Finally he is elevated to a positionwhere he can deal with his brothers in aNew Testament sort of way, proving hereally is ahead of his time.· If you want any more detail than that,look up Genesis 39. The important thing isthat much singing is generated by thewhole process.

Although it is difficult to fault the Musi-cal Theater Guild's execution of the task athand, I wonder why exactly they chose todo this show, in this particular way. I love"Joseph" and it has some wonderful mo-ments. But there are two problems whichare hard to make vanish. One relates tothe cast, the other to the material.

The first difficulty is that the musicalsimply does not showcase all of the talentwhich MTG traditionally has at its dispos-al. There is no dancing to speak of andvery few roles for women.

As one might expect from an Old Testa-ment story, there are almost no women in-volved in the whole production. I fully ex-pected to see half a dozen female brothers,and why not? But the few women in theshow were by and large relegated to a rowof legs at the back of the stage, high-stepping forward to deliver brief solos.

The only female principal was thenarrator, Pam Denning, who sang clearlyand with a lot of spunk. Her costuming,with a yarmulke tilted to one side as afashion accessory, reflected her characterand immediately gave the show a contem-porary look.

The second difficulty is that some of themusic just does not belong. "Joseph" wasoriginally a short piece to be performed byschoolchildren. I firmly believe that it oncehad a pleasing cohesiveness, but the addi-tion of later material destroyed that. So weare treated to the cast singing like cow-boys, singing like Jamaicans, singing likeFrenchmen. (If you want to imagine how

fContinued front page 1)chance of getting housing, Were-ley added.

First-year graduate studentsneed Institute housing, Wereleycontinued. Around 40 percent ofthe graduate students are fromforeign countries and many ofthem have problems with lan-guage and customs. New studentsthat are refused Institute housingare crowded into convertedlounges while they attempt tofind housing, he noted.

The housing problem has beenincreasingly mentioned by accept-ed graduate applicants who de-clined to attend MIT. Around 14percent of accepted applicantswho turned down MIT's offer ofadmission in 1986 said the hous-ing situation was a negative fac-tor in their decision, according toa GSC letter to Perkins. In 1978,none of the accepted studentssaid they turned down MIT be-cause of a lack of housing, theletter noted.

O~ne of ten MIT graduate stul-dents would have been dissuadedfrom coming had they knowabout the housing situation, ac-cording to the Graduate StudentSurvey Report of 1986. Givinghousing to students who are newto the Bostonl area would be of

"trernendous benefit," NVereleysaid.

The policy was designed tomaximize revenues and to pro-vide more first year graduate stu-dent housing. Because studentscan lease the rooms only on afull-year basis, more rooms willbe occupied during the summermonths, thereby increasing rentrevenues.

The GSC spent the past yeardesigning the policy, Wereley ex-plained. "It's a great example ofstudents, administrators, and fac-ulty working together to achievea common goal," Wereley said.

If MIT decides to reverse thisplan in the future, it may be diffi-cult to restore the original atmo-sphere of the houses, Kirkpatricksaid. The Tang committee pro-posed an alternative plan de-signed to avoid these potentialproblems, but MIT decided toadopt the GSC proposal.

Kirkpatrick was also upset thathis committee was never consult-ed before the plan was approved."Many of the housing residentshave no clue that this is goingon,' he commented.

will provide between 150 and 225rooms, Dickcson said. MIT can-not begin converting the buildinguntil the present occupants moveout.

The new facility may housegraduate students as early as Sep-tember 1989, but will more likelyopen in 1990. The housing willprobably consist of apartmentsrather than dormitory rooms.The site is close enough to beconsidered on-campus, Dicksonsaid -

Dickson discussesnew dorm location

In addition to the new housingassignment policy, the adminis-tration hopes to develop enoughgraduate housing for 50 percentof the graduate population, ac-cording to Senior Vice PresidentWilliam R. Dickson '56.

The Institute will probablyconvert an existing building to anew graduate dormitory, which

Tang opposes plan

Douglas Kirkpatrick G. presi-dent of the Tang Hall ExecutiveCommittee, said his committeeopposed the plan. The Tang com-mittee objected to the idea of cre-ating tenured and untenured"classes" of residents.

Because the untenured studentsknow that their leases are one-year long, they will be less likelyto make any investments into theapartments and halls, such asfurniture and dishes, Kirkpatrickexplained. They will also be lesslikely to try to get along withtheir neighbors and participate insocial activities, he added.

(Continued from page 28)Gasparini '88 made an amazingsliding save on a breakaway, theMIT defense fanned on the puckin an attempt to clear it out ofthe crease, allowing an opponentto put it over the sprawling Ga-sparini.

The Beavers received a chanceto demonstrate their power-playabilities a couple of minutes lateras a WPI player was sent to thebench for charging. Thirty sec-onds into the power play, BrianBalut '87 passed to Jessiman be-hind the net, who brought thepuck around the goal and stuffedit in.

MIT finally extended its slimlead to a more comforting mar-gin at the 13:11 mark when JeffBates '90 made a beautiful rink-wide pass in the WPI zone to anopen Brian Balut '87, who putthe puck between the goaltender'slegs.

Unfortunately for the Beavers,there would not be many scoringchances in the second period.The officials were beginning tolose control of the game as bothteams played rough hockey.There was all too much elbowing,

with only 19 seconds left in theperiod, a 2-on-1 WPI breakawayresulted in a goal as a pass acrossthe-mouth of the net was liftedover the sliding Gasparini.

The first eight minutes of playin the deciding period were excit-ing but scoreless. During the ear-ly part of the period the Beaversput on all the pressure, gettingseveral scoring chances but un-able to put the puck in the net.The tide then shifted as WPIkept the puck in the MIT zone,but also could not score.

The breakthrough finally cameat the 8:39 mark as a pass frombehind the MIT goal line to anopen WPI forward was easily putpast Gasparini - no amazinggoal, the MIT defense had simplyfailed to cover that forward.Now tied at 4-4, and WPI havingscored three unanswered goals, itdid not, seem anymore like aneasy win for the Beavers.'

The next six minutes were nailbiters, as neither team couldscore. But the clincher, the mostbeautiful goal of the game, camewith just less than four minutesleft in the game.

The puck in the WPI zone,

holding, and late hits that weregoing unnoticed by the referees.The officials tried to reign in therowdiness by assessing severalpenalties, with WPI bearing thebrunt of this reprisal.

During the first half of the pe-riod, six penalties were assessedto WPI while only one wag givenout to the Beavers. The Beavers'usually productive power playseemed off, however, as they wererepeatedly prevented from ex-tending their lead.

Finally, at the 8:52 mark, RickRussell G put a long low shotfrom the back of the left faceoffcircle into the lower right of thenet. Now three goals up with thegame half over, it seemed that theBeavers had the game clinched.

Not so. The second half of theperiod proved to be MIT's chanceto sit on the penalty bench. Be-ginning with a cross-checking callat the 11:38 mark, the Beaverswere assessed four penalties with-in a span of two minutes, givingWPI almost a full four minutesof 5-on-3 powerplay adavantage.It seemed certain that WPIwould come out with at least twogoals from this turn of events.

Cheered on loudly by thecrowd, the Beavers put on a bril-liant display of defense as theykept WPI scoreless for the fullfour minutes. Good pressure bythe lone forward and hard check-ing by the defense frustratedWPI. After this impressive showof defensive stalling, it seemedthat the MIT win was again se-cure.

But MIT seemed to play betterwith only three skaters on the ice.With five skaters, the Beaverssimply could not move the puckand hence had no opportunity toreplace the tired penalty killingplayers who had yet to leave theice.

This proved fatal as a WPIforward tried stuffing the puck inone side from close in. Gasparinislid to one side of the net tomake the initial save, but the for-ward took the puck around theback of the net to slide it in fromthe opposite side. The fatigue ofthe MIT players showed as theycould not check the forward offthe-puck or clear the puck intothe corners.

The margin of the MIT leadwas dimished even further when,

Brian Luschwitz G took a lowshot from the right point whichthe WPI goaltender stopped butallowed to rebound to his left.Brian Fabes G, alone in front ofthe net, then took the puck.

The obvious attempt wouldhave been to try to slap a shotpast the goaltender but it wouldprobably have been fruitless asthe near side had been smotheredby the goaltender's pads. Rather,Fabes brilliantly hesistated just asecond to fake the goaltenderinto sliding the wrong way, andthen slid the puck around thegoaltender into the opposite side.

The game was won. Despitepulling their goaltender in thelast two minutes of play to tryand again even the score, therewas no way that the Beaverswould be denied the victory.

The MIT men's hockey teamextended its winning streak tothree games as they beat the Uni-versity of Hartford by a score of6-0 Sunday in Hartford, CT. TheBeavers face the University ofSouthern Maine in Portland, MEon Wednesday then return homeon Saturday to face Clark Uni-versity.

The second period of thegame, although faster paced, sawfewer goals and fewer shots onnet. Longer passes up the ice cre-ated more exciting, open ice skat-ing. Despite the added excite-ment, the only goal of the periodwas scored when Schermer wentrink long from the MIT blue line,outskated the Connecticut de-fenders, and slipped the puck un-derneath the goaltender.

The MIT defense was out-standing in the second period, al-lowing no shots on goal. Withgood poke checking, the defensetime and again stopped the Con-necticut forwards at the MITblue line. Despite this show of ex-cellent defense, the Engineers didnot dominate the period as theyhad the first. The visitors' de-fense tightened as well, and gaveup fewer shots on goal. Althoughthe puck did not find its way tothe MIT goal, it did spend a sub-stantial part of the period in theMIT zone.

The final period of the gamewas uneventful as ConnecticutCollege, down 4-0, saw littlechance of winning the game. TheMIT defense lost a bit of its con-centration. Connecticut tookmore shots on goal than in thefirst two periods combined. De-spite the increased pressure, theEngineers still allowed no goalswhile Bonugli and Tanya Jegeris'89 put the puck into the net.

strong perfBy Eric M. Reifschneider

The MIT men's gymnasticsteam suffered its first defeat ofthe season Saturday in a narrowloss to the University of Ver-mont. Vermont set a school re-cord in scoring 200.35, while-MITequalled its season high with197.2. MIT's record is now 4-1.

After a long, five-hour trip tothe Vermont campus on Saturdaymorning, MIT started sluggishlyon the first two events. Vermont,meanwhile, was up for the meetand took an early lead. MIT triedto come back on the last fourevents, but the Vermont gymnastshit their routines and managed tohold on for the victory.

As in its victory over Vermonton Jan. 24, MIT fell behind byabout three points on floor exer-cise. Co-captain Brian Hirano'87 and Vermont's Al Acostaeach did double back flips andtied for the highest score onfloor, 8.2. Mark Malonson '89scored 7.9 for a routine includingseven back, front, or side flips.

In their first competition, MIToutscored Vermont by nearly sev-en points on pommel horse totake control of the meet. Satur-day, however, none of tlie MITgymnasts hit his whole routine,and Vermont extended its lead tomore than five points.

The teams were nearly equalon the next three events. MIT didits best vaulting of the season,

'ormancesgetting scores of 7.95 from AlanNash '89, 8.05 from Malonsol,8.2 from Eric Reifschneider '89,8.25 from Norman Chen '88, and8.45 from Hirano.

MIT was also strong on paral-lel bars. Carl Weiner '87 startedthe team off with a solid plancheand V-seat for a career-high 6.5.Malonson scored 6.55, Nash6.65, Reifschneider 7.55, andHirano 8.15.

But the Vermont gymnastswere just as tough. They didsome difficult vaults such as ahandspring front flip by CraigSecrest and a handspring fulltwist by Billy Mitchell. The teamhad many fewer form breaks andextra swings in its parallel barroutines than in the first meet.

Going into the last event, highbar, Vermont led by 6.3° MIT'shigh bar team of Nash, JasonKipnis '87, Chiu Cheng '87,Reifschneider, Chen, and Hiranodid their best routines of the sea-son and outscored Vermont bymore than three points, but itwasn't enough to pull out acomeback. Mitchell sealed thevictory for Vermont with a nicehalf-twisting front flip dismountfor a 7.9.

Mitchell won the all-aroundcompetition with a score of 47.2,including 8.05 on floor, 8.6 onvault, and 8.45 on parallel bars.Hirano, who had trouble landing

I Kyle G. Peltonen/The TechJeff Bates '90 crashes into the glass in Saturday's game vs.WPI. MIT won 5-4, bringing its record to 8-3-1.

However, unlike previous match-es, the goal did not come frombrilliant play or pressure deep inthe opponents' zone, but insteadfrom a gaffe on the part of aWPI defenseman.

At the 1:43 mark, after win-ning a faceoff in their own zone,WPI moved the puck behind itsown net. A WPI defenseman at-tempted a long pass to the blueline, but instead bounced thepuck off the back of his goalten-der's leg and into the net. NoMIT player touched the puck,but the goal was credited to PaulTiao '89 who had taken the fa-ceofre

The game began at a quickclip. Plenty of dumping andchasing, combined with littlestickhandling, contributed to thefurious pace.

onds after the initial goal, theBeavers were assessed a penaltyfor high sticking.

A tripping penalty just undertwo minutes later combined togive WPI an extended power-playadvantage of almost four min-utes. But despite WPI's pressureand man advantage, MIT keptWPI scoreless.

Luck accounted for some ofthe penalty killing. MIT hadsome trouble clearing opponentsout of the slot, and WPI was giv-en too many chances close in onthe net. WPI, despite thesechances, simply could not putshots on the goal.

Three minutes after the secondpenalty ore the Beavers had ex-pired, WPI evened the score atthe 8:53 mark. After Goalie Peter
