ARelativity to be testedby Quasar

By Joseph Kashi 1Einstein's General Theory of

Relativity is about to be retested byentists at MIT Lincoln Labs. The

tram, headed by Professor BernardBurke, will attempt to measure the

ting of beams of light from quasarsnder the influence of the suens

avitational field.Einstein predicted a shift of about

1.76 degrees of arc, which ispproximately twice the shiftpedictedby Newtonian mechanics. If the shift isnot coincident with that predicted byfhe General Theory of Relativity,intensive investigation into Einstein's

theory, which is the basis of modernphysics, will result. The only attemptto confirm this part of Relativity waspefomed bySir Arthur Eddinegton in1919, 'but the results are ofquestionable accuracy.

The Lincoln Lay group, composedf!f Pofessor Burke, Professor Irwinhapiro, Dr. James Moran, Hans

K/visi/d, Mathis walk outBy Tom Pipal

The Institute Committee came within four votes of abolishing itseltf Thursday night, wlien a motion to tnrit effect putforward by Mark Mathis '69 was defeated 8-6. The motion, which was made following more than an hour's lively debate onthe structure and purpose of Inscomm, was seconded by Mike Ginzberg '69. Following its defeat, he, Mathis, Peter Harris'69, Seep Chairman, and UAP Maria Kivisild '69 walked out of the meeting; and the meeting, and possibly the organizationitself, was effectively finished.

Climax

The walkout climazed a series of investigations and committee reports on reorganizing InsComm. Within the past threemonths, three separate committees were formed to examine the possibility of changing the structure of Institute Committee.The first two committees' reports werejointly written by Steve Ehrmonn '71 and presented at the first Inscom F a ult xamines creditsmeeting this year.

An unfinished plaster job and delayed paint order is thecause of dissatisfaction among some students of RunkleHall of Senior House. In an interview with The Tech, JamesEbright '69 discussed living conditions and related eventswhich preceded the present controversy.

Painting overdue

At the beginning of 1966-67, the Campus HousingOffice recognized the need for repainting the thenbattle-ship gray interior and, according to Ebright, promisedto paint Senior House halls.

Finding the halls unpainted in, fall 1967, the studentsorganized a painting party. The group worked weekendsuntil the Runkle sixth floor was painted Viking-red withbronze gold trim.

The house government had filed complaints with theHousing Office about paint peeling and shower leaking. In....... ,,, L au, ILCvtoo! t1 ytUiIulMC Fad organizedand painted that floor blue and yellow with enamel paint.Dick Hodgman, head of student facilities committee,organized a tour of Senior House for James Cross,Administrative Asst. of Campus Housing, and severalarchitects. They agreed, the house needed improvementsbut were dismayed because the students who painted theRunkle sixth floor had used a latex paint, and the architectssaid painting over it with oil based paints was impossible.Seeing the area above the stairwell painted also shocked theadministration personnel because of the danger involved inpainting it.

No funds

It was at this time, says Ebright, that Lawrence Bishoff,Director of Dining and Housing, promised to do something.The only reason-the work could not begin immediately wasmoney shortage.

l 11,.b ay $i., Ebrightn

This ceili ng on R unkle 6th floor has been the causeof disputes between students and physical plant-itisn't painted.

The Housing Office did, however, allow an architect,Harry Ellenzweig, to come in and discuss with the students,color schemes. In several meetings, the final color schemeswere worked out, Ebright claims that the students were still

dissatisfied with the color scheme. but because of increasingapathy, finally agreed. Jery Gross, on the other hand, saysthat despite all the. meetings with the architects, thestudents finally agreedon an off-while color for the ceilingand green stripe where hands touch the walls in the halls.This scheme, says Gross, was suggested by the architectsoriginally but the students disliked it at first. The studentsthen changed their minds and wanted it.

Student Enterprises, the oneorganization which has at once arousedmore curiosity and suspicion on thepart of the MIT community at largethan any other such activity. Yet aclear attempt has been made over thepast months to allay much of themisgiving which it has facedthroughout its short history.

Technology Student Enterpriseswas created as an independentchartered corporation by the Dean'sOffice and the Institute Committeewith the purchase of $5000 of TSEstock by MIT. At that time, its'purposewas to be basically twofold, that ofproviding entrepreneurial experiencefor interested students and in additionperforming services at low cost to theMIT community. TSE was thusrecognized as the only legalprofit-making organization at MIT, initself enough to make its relationshipwith the undergraduate communityone of continuous apprehension. Atrep.t cl>1o'.i~f th., <tte,~;,-,',,' ........ ...~_,

TSF (i.e. that they are taking advantageof the MIT community) is unfounded.TSE's management in the past has beenentirely too unconcerned withrevealing information to theundergraduate community whencomplaints were voiced. It has also notbeen effective in communicating itsproposed plans to student governmentwhen those have at times been counterto what student groups may beattempting. Indeed several specificinstances have been revealed over thepast years which have severelytarnished the TSE image. One proposalthat was put forth was to give TSE anon-voting seat on InstituteCommiittee. This proposal received

Another rvern~~~~~~~posal has been to create an informal iangernent for the president of TSE pI meet at specified instances with the aconmm Executive Committee to wange new information about TSE aI Inscomin projects. The question of t; however, has been more than one Dn'Iy of communication. Rather, it is tiseries of questions concerning in

0osophy, organizational control, and id

ganizatiolial responsibility.Dennis Bovin ('69), President of in

E states that programs and reforms nve taken shape which will help the s,anization reform its tattered image mthe months to come. Indeed many t!the problems which had troubled r

pup affiliation in choosing new rLdership. SAE has supplied the last r

ree full-term presidents, and Bovin inself assumed leadership only after

resignation of Jack Anderson ('69), yother SAE. Bovin told The Tech that tch procedures are a thing of the pastmore than ever emphasis is being (aced on recruiting -reputable and tdustrious people into theganiation regardless of residence. iThe core of TSE is composed of a tli group of men called Central i

any such new agency limited liabilitysince an agency manager was notresponsible for financial lossesincurred, yet he reaped most of theprofits. Then, ' however, as soorfn -as theagency grew large and profitable, itwould sever its ties with TSE. Severalattempts have been made to stop thisrend. First, the CorporateDevelopment Branch is entrusted withhe responsibility of generating newnnovations rather than waiting for newideas from without. Secondly, if auseful suggestion is provided by anindividual outside TSE, he becomesmanager of an organization staffed andtrictly regulated by TSE personnel. Hemust also sign a contract stating that inhe event of severing ties with TSE hemnay not take any money or personnelwith him. A tighter financial setup hasalso greatly restricted losses among thenember agencies by holding managersnore responsible for why losses arebeing incurred.

TSE's financial problems are notyet a thing of the past. Although itpaid well over $10,000 in wages lastyear, the net profit returning to theCorporation was only $750 on a grosstotal of services and products totalling$235,000 dollars. Bovin emphasizes,however, that the emphasis of TSE isto give its members experience andprovide service to the MIT communityrather than "milking" it financially.Thus there has been no desire to gocooperative as has its predecessor atHarvard, the Harvard Student Agencies.

By Don D'AmicoLast Thursday the Columbia Program was held as part of the SOSI Series. Newsreel no. 14, a film made by Columbian

students concerning the Columbia situation last year, was shown as a basis for the panel discussion after the film. The panelconsisted of students from both MIT and Columbia; teachers from Columbia, Harvard, and MIT; and the editor of theNewsreel. However, the panel set-up soon dissolved and gave way to discussion and debate with the audience.

The triggering incident in the Columbia affair, as brought out in this discussion, was the school's proposal to build a gymon the site of a playground in a predominantly Negro neighborhood. Although the university planned to reserve floors of thebuilding for neighborhood use only, the plan met with severe disapproval on the part of the neighborhood and the stvlents.Deever issues soon were on the scene. The students protested violently to like, as

Off-campus living?

SeminarThe Seminar of Social inquiry will

distribute a questionnaire Wednesdayto measure the potential of on-campusundergraduates who would prefer tolive off-campus in .rartments: a majorfactor contributing to high rents inCambridge.

The rents in Cambridge, as anytudent looking for an apartment willtttest, have risen unreasonably in thepast year. While this is a source ofiscontent' to prospective studententers, it is of more immediateoncern to the residents of Cambridge,nd in particular the elderly, of whom57% are now spending more than half)f their limited income on rent. This

problem is visible in the currentlyactive movement for rent control inCambridge.

One of the major causes of highrents is the influx of students intoCambridge apartments, over 1200 ofthem MIT students. Obviously, threestudents can afford to pay more thanone elderly couple for an equivalentapartment. As a result, the studentpopulation increases in Cambridge, and

Morever, to securethese finances, the university acquireda number of military contracts, manyof these being directly concerned withthe Vietnam War. The -studentsobjected to this as turning theuniversity into a tap to use the studentsand their efforts to possiblyobjectionable ends. The students feltthat they were denied any initiative orinfluence in their own university.

In an attempt to make theiropinions known, the black and thestudent factions took bodily control ofAvery and Mathematics Halls, alongwith several other school buildings. Theblacks were there primarily to stop thegym, the students to confront theadministration'

During these days of occupation,the students were adamant on theirposition that the university was a "warmachine." It appeared that theadministration maintained anoutwardly calm attitude. The facultywas caught in between.

The students stated their own basicposition as follows: They had takenaway the buildings from an illegitimateand irresponsible administration. Thegym was being built against the will ofthe people of Harlem. They refused toplay the game called "Trustees," i.e.business men - Pres. Kirk - napalm.

The buildings were finally cleared,and the usual charges of policebrutality occurred.'

Long after his expected drubbingtwo and a half weeks from now,Hubert H. Humphrey will probably bethe subject of deep academic analysisto determine his "subversion" awayfrom the liberal camp which he used tochampion. Currently, liberalacademicians are more disgruntled thanthey are intrigued by the evolutionwhich the Vice President hasundergone since assuming the NumberTwo post four years ago.

On one side there is the argumentthat he has not evolved,,that in fact hisliberalism never extended pastdomestic issues, especially not intoforeign policy. Humphrey -has neverbeen in the position of questioning thiscountry's past or current actions somuch as in the position of outliningnew directions in which the countrymust go domestically.

Humphrey, as a Senator, supportedthe Anti-Communist Control Act of1954, an amendment to the originalInternal Security Act'of 1950 whichRichard Nixon sponsored.

On the topic of Vietnam,Humphrey's phraseology counters anyexplanation that he is really a dovewho cannot sever his politicalcommitment for practical reasons. SenEugene McCarthy and he are as muchas speaking separate languages in theirnegotiations for accomodation.Humphrey speaks negatively of"imposing" a coalition on the SouthVietnamese by admitting the Viet Cong

and peace forces into the politicalsystem. The wording implies that everycommunist sympathizer in the Southmust have come from the North, andthat the-curcent, one-sided governmentis not itself "imposed" upon thereelements.

If one were really at attackHumphrey's defection from the liberalcamp, he hardly need turn to thequestion of Vietnam. The VicePresident's domestic "liberalism" hason its own assumed a vacuousnesswhich is out of tune with a founder oAmericans for Democratic ActionHumphrey seems hardly sensitive t¢

an Undergraduate student to a Graduate student orfrom a Graduate student to a Professor. We are allstudents, striving at times by very different and atother. times by very similar means to further oureducation. Therefore student government needs toinvolve all members of the coammnunity. Because atown meeting approach would be impractical, theselection of representative is essential. This can bestbe accomplished by eliciting representatives from allof the 'University's subcultures with the onestipulation that the group is relevant to a student'seducation and that the representative is willing towork in a responsible way. The meetings should bedevoted to interchanging of ideas and discussion ofrelevant issues. The only justification for studentgovernment is the fact that education is an activeinvolvement of all people and not a passivereception of input by Undergraduates andGraduates ffom the Faculty under the auspices-ofthe administration. Students who feel there is nopurpose in student government are automaticallycutting off a major part of their education. AUniversity is a highly enriched environment thatmaintains certain teaching practices for conveniencesake, but there is-a lot more to education thanclassrooms and there is a lot more to studentgovernment than now exists.

Peter Q. Harris '69Chairman, Student Committee on

Educational Policy

Student government should be concerned solelywith the education of the student body. Byeducation, we are, referring to any aspect of astudent's life that contributes to the knowledge,wisdom or character development of the student.These aspects range from academics, environment,and extra-curricular activities, to all socialinteractions, The relative importance of each ofthese factors is impossible to access until one is faraway from the University environment. It isapparent, however, that extremes in any directionare detrimental. The student who engages only insocial activities is going to be as poorly educated asthe student who studies full time to maintain a 5.0cum, Likewise, a student government that haslimited representation of all aspects of educationcan't help but fail.

We do Riot suggest that student governmentshould try to educate a small electorate in all.aspects of education and breed mediocrity amongstits membership. Rather that it should strive to getequal representation from all factions thatcontribute to a student's education rather thantrying to get equal representation for each student.

It is important to realize that the student bodyincludes all members of'the University community.There are certain problems that are unique toUndergraduates, Graduates, Faculty members orAdministration and there is no reason why businesscan't be conducted at times by each groupseparately. However there is no magical change from

(Ed. note: This is the second of a two-part articleon the Sloan Convocation, October 8-1O. The first]prtappeared on October 1S.)

Chairman of the Board Killian kicked off theFriday afternoon session commending thejitiative, skil and imagination of business andjdustrY in dustry in stepping up to some of the,probliems of the cities. He gave as an example theBoston coalition group formed by former MayorJohn Collins, comprised of many businesses andindustries. The non-profit Boston UrbanFoundation, the first of its kind iit the country,tas set up to collect funds to make low interestloans for business enterprise. A skills grouplincluding many Boston bank financial officersvolunteered to work with the young companies.in addition, the foundation makes a loan, a groupof banks will come together to supplement theloan commercially, to provide the total capitalneeded to get the new enterprise under way.,his is the kind of managerial initiative it takesto deal with urban problems, "Killian said.

Cambridge CorporationHe also told one of the newest MIT efforts,

te formation, with Harvard, of the non-profitCambridge Corporation whose purpose is toproduce reasonable housing for the elderly andthe poor, suggesting that we look to institutional'arrangements to bring resources to bear.

lie called the impact of science andtechnology on society an international problemand noted the need for the formation of aNational Board for Technical Assessment.

Killian finished on an optimistic note, that

with the combination of scientific knowledge andmanagerial talents we can solve these problems.

Charles MeyersCharles Meyers, Sloan Fellows Professor of

Management, considered what developments arelikely to occur in the next decade that will havesignificance for management. The four aboutwhich he spole were changes in the compositionof our labor force resulting from better-educatedand differently motivated employees; rapidlyincreasing use of the computer in managerialareas: further crises in our cities; and expandingopportunities as well as problems formulti-national corporations.

The labor market over the next ten years willhave a significant decrease in the managerial laborsupply while all other segments will be growing.The youngest group will be much better educatedand will have many more options than theirpredecessors, and ways will have to be devised tochallenge and interest them, Meyers warned.Another problem whichwill arise will be themanagement group reaching retirement age.Should older .retirement limits be established?Should men retire from one job and pick upanother one? Meyers. left these questionsunanswered.

Computers discussedHowever, he continued to pose more

questions. Will the computer take the manager'splace or will it relieve him of certain aspects of hisjob leaving him free to concentrate on otherfacets of it? Will computers be used for moreconfinement or more freedom? Meyers theorized

that managers will become more involved in urbanproblems and that there will be 'more joint workbetween government and business. He talked ofthe establishment of data banks to help get bettermodels for simulation, and the problem of whowill have access to what information. He talked ofthe potential of the present hard-coreunemployed and added that it will require publicpolicies to continue growth and keep dow nunemployment and the consequences of urbanunrest.

John Collins, Visiting Professor of UrbanAffairs and former mayor of Boston surveyed thepotential of the management sector in the urbansection.

Until recently, he noted, the urban problemhad loomed so large and the programs to combatit so small, that people have supported themwithout much thought. But with a nationalcommitment, more than intutition is needed. Thepublic sector, Collins stated, cannot do the jobalone. The private sector must insist that thepublic sector offer the right incentives to involvethe private sector; profit motivation is thehonorable way. Full participation from everysegment is needed. Default to the city mayors orthe federal government is not enough.

Wood speaksThe final speaker of the day was Robert C.

Wood, Under Secretary of the U.S. Department ofhousing and Urban Development and Head of theDepartment of Political Science (on leave.)

This year sees us moving into stage two-of ourefforts to mobilize the public and private against

urban problems he said, we have r,: ,j andacknowledged an urban problemn .x%.c evenpassed a few experimental probe

million in appropriations have grown into $2.4billion. The model cities program has turned froman idea into a law and an actuality. The first rentsupplement experiment has gone through; theground rules have been changed, and what wasonce fought vociferously is now endorsed by all.

The last legislature is now known as the mostliberal urban aid Congress because the 1968Housing and Development Act was passed. Amove has been made tfrom qualitative toquantitative consideration of the problem',. Underthe act year by year specifications have beenmapped out, including where and how units are tobe built.

An effort will be made, according to Wood, tosolicit entrepeneurship, to bring business intobuilding housing for the poor. A nationalpartnership would be formed in which nationalcorporations can invest and then form localpartnerships.

By Randy Hawthorne

Saturday night Richie Havens came

to MIT, gave a memorable performance

and added another thousand people to

his list of friends and admirers. To seeHavens run through a set of songs isalways a pleasure with the only regretis that he shows a reluctance to moveon to newer and fresher material fromtime to tiem. Havens has changedsomewhat in the past year of concertsand performances and 'probably themost evident aspect of theimprovement is in his ability to handlean audience. Whereas the emotion andconcern that he showed for his songsonce seemed to be directed inward,now he is quite capable of transforningthis feeling into a group thing. It isquite a performance that has an

. audience at various times clapping and

singing along (with "A Day in-theLife") and then standing and yellingfor more when the time has come forthe end.

Interpretation

Outside of this, . Havens hasremained. basically unchanged. In hislive performances he pounds out hischord patterns on the guitar while his

accompanist weaves an intricate andmuted string of spiraling notes through-out the chordal phrasings. In his man-ner of interpretation and handling ofwords he excels. This becomes clearlyevident in such a song as Boy Dylan's"Just l,ike A Woman" where Havens'

Havens has a conscience that is easilymoved by riots and wars; and in thissense he becomes an outlet of emo-tions, emotions expressed in a veryeasily understandable way to the youthof today. He relates to the difficultiesof today and the problems of yester-day. He communicates because he re-lates.

Shoddy handling

The concert proved to be a totalartistic and entertainment success. Itwas, however, marred slightly by thehandling afforded by the sponsoringorganization, APO. The performance,scheduled for 8:30 finally began some-time after 9. Also, in a more personallight. Scheduled interview with Havenswas never kept, and the reviewer'stickets were sold.

eeger's paciflst standsupports war resiestance

By Richard WhitePete Seeger appeared Friday night at Symphony Hall in a concert unusually

devoted to the pacifist movement. Seeger normally seems preoccupied with thepure folk aspects of his songs. This is evident on his albums and his NETTelevision show (Sunday afternoon, 2pm on channel 2) where his concern is topresent folk songs as the people of America, Ireland, Germany, Cuba, etc.presented them to him.

So it came as a great surprise, a very pleasant one, that Seeger used his concertto further the cause of peace. While almost every song was to some degree pacifist,the most entertaining was "Talking Baintree," and the most significant was"Muddy Waters."

Talking Baintree

"Talking Baintree" is talking blues to which Seeger's banjo is well adapted.The proper function of the banjo is to talk blues hillbilly and solo country andwestern in the style of Flatt and Scruggs. When the banjo. is used to accompanyevery song it loses its effectiveness. I only hope that Seeger uses his guitar more infuture concerts.

"Talking Baintree" is the story of a southern (USA) city that is invaded by theViet Cong. Of course, the local general orders a bombing attack to save the city;after all the VC look just like the citizens, so how can they expect to restrictivelydistroy only the VC? After the napalm, which led to only 2,000 deaths and30;000 homeless the survivors thank the great American general for saving them.The analogy to Vietnam is too self-evident to bother explaining.

Muddy Waters"Muddy Waters" is Seeger's most controversial song. It has in fact been

censored from NET telecasts in certain cities' because it implies that themaximization of death, VC and American is the conscious desire of the Amercanleadership. The song is the story of a platoon crossing a river that Sergeant PeteSeeger and the anti-war movement believes is too deep to safely cross, but theCaptain, LBJ, demands that they f6rd even after they are unable to stand inwater, leading to demise of the company, country, until the sergeant takescommand. At the time it was written Seeger wanted the sergeant to takecommand before the river destroyed them.

This song was conspicuously absent from his New York Central Park concertthis summer. Seeger felt it was too easy to sing the song for his responsiveaudience and it would be better if they would petition the 'television networks toease their restrictions. But now his point has been made and the song may sung.

By his own admission at least one of the songs he sang was seditious, "KissesSweeter Than Wine." This was seditious in the sense that in the world today aperson dies every 4 seconds-of starvation. Such songs that advocate reproductipnwill have to be watched closely in the future.

can be had at little or no cost, as wellas at high cost. A noteworthy exampleof the former case was the concertgiven Thuysday night at Jordan Hall bythe New England Conservatory ofMusic's Symphony Orchestra. This freeconcert, under the direction ofFrederik Prausnitz, played to a half-fullhouse despite the fact that- no ticketswere required.

The first half of the concertconsisted of -Beethoven's Overture,"The Consecration of the House", Op.124, Ferruccio Busoni's "BerceuseElegiaque", Op. '42, and ArnoldSchoenberg's "Five Pieces forOrchestra", Op. 16.' The -first twoworks were played very competantly,with solid brass support, but a slightlynasal string coloration. The Busocni, asubdued evocation -of mood, was givenan especially effective interpretation by'the conductor. The chaotic Schoenbergwork was not as successful, and theconsiderable demands for ensemblework which it requires seemed to bebeyond the capabilities of theorchestra. The intricate rhythmicstructure and difficult individual partsput this work ii a class apart from theothers. on the program, which weremore conventional.

After intermission, there was asingle work, the Dvorak Symphony No.5 in F; Op. 76 (Old No. 3).Unfortunately, this beautiful andmelodic piece is little known anda-seldom played, being lost in theshadow of the final three Dvoraksymphonies. In this symphony, theorchestra truly came into its own and

Theater has this month produced a hauntingly effective version of Bertolt Brecht'ssecular cantata, "The Measure's Taken." Like many of his works, this one ispatterned after the fourteenth century No-plays of Japan. Becht has merelysupplanted the Buddhist ideology with a Marzist dialectic.

A "control chorus" addresses three Russian Communist agitators who havereturned fronm a mission in China, and praises them for their success. But theagitators announce the death of one of their comrades, a compassionate, sensitiveyouth, whom the three were forced to kill when he jeopardized the entiremovement by giving way to personal feelings. They ask for a verdict, and thechorus requests them. to reenact the whole enterprise, that it may pass judgment.So the story of "The Measure Taken" is presented.

The play is prefaced and concluded with a short, frantic satire on theDemocratic Convention in an attempt to draw a parallel between the turmoil ofGermany in the thirties, which inspired the play, and the current politicalupheaval in America. This indulgence on the part of director Stan Edelson is moresuperfluous than instructive. The uncluttered Brechtian perspective, almost half acentury old, needs no such introduction.

The stylized theater of Brecht is one of the play's strongest points, and thevitality and imagination of the talented cast more than compensate for its lack ofsophistication. With remarkably well-coordinated staging and generally simplistictechniques, the four actors are able to create an appropriate surrealism forBrecht's message; and this aspect of the play alone makes the evening worthwhile.

Jello center-piece. Sellers seems unreal as:an almost sane, almost responsible,well-mannered, well-dressed, and filthyrich lawyer. One gets the dishearteningfeeling that he would let Sellers handlehis legal work. The innumerablemembers of the Mixican family withneck braces for whiplash injuries, thelecherous law partner, the chatter-boxfiance, the hippie brother are strained

Harvard tops kickers

7-ml as Ghanan starsThe freshman soccer and cross-country teams both suffered defeats against

traditional rivals this past weekend. The soccer team travelled to Harvard, wherethey lost 7-1; while the corss-country men fell to their hosts from Concord, theUniversity of New Hampshire, by a 21-37 score.

Saturday morning's soccer game with Harvard was a definite misnatch, but theTech frosh played admirably. Harvard offers many soccer scholarships to potentialplayers all over the world. As a result, their team was composed of many foreignathletes with years of soccer experience. In this game, Harvard was paced byCharlie Thomas, who scored four goals. Thomas was high scorer in a Ghana league

before coming to America. The Crimson played a very well-balanced game, scoringtwice in each of the first three periods and once in the last. On the other side,Glen Dining regestered the engineers only tally in the third quarter. Despite thealmost insurmountable odds, MIT showed lots of spirit and desire, never giving upthe fight.

Harriers loseIn crosscountry, New Hampshire showed a very fine team effort in topping

the Tech harriers. UNH, paced by Pregent in 13:17, took the first three places, aswell as sevenths eighth, and ninth. Craig Lewis was fnst across for MIT, finishingfourth in a time of 14:05. Rich Goldhor and Chip Kimball followed in times of14:25 and 14:28. Bob Myers finished tenth and Allan Kirkpatrick was twelfth toround out the scoring. This Saturday the team will participate in its fourth andfinal triangular meet-this time against Tufts and Williams, before beginning theopen meets for Greater Boston and New England which conclude the season.

In A division skipper Pete Nesbeda '71 and hlis crew Dana Pettegill'71 won their first race but had to settle forsecond in their other one. This made Nesbeda second high point skipper.

The regatta was hampered from the beginning by rain and strong. shifty winds. This finally caused the regatta to be
