Vellucci asked the city council lastweek to change the name of theCharles River.

The council discussed themayor's proposal to rename theCharles the Kwa Na Ha NeeRiver at its August 2 meeting, buttook no action on the plan.

City councilors did not opposethe name change, but somequestioned the city's authority torename the river, since it bordersseveral other cities and towns.

Kwa Na Ha Nee means "site ofthe waters, great motherland,place of the birth of all native firstpeople and first nations; the turtleisland," said Fox Tree, a nativeAmerican supporter of thechange, speaking before the coun-cil.

By Barry S. SurmanAn article revealing details of a

self-evaluation report drafted bythe Department of ElectricalEngineering and ComputerScience (EECS) has departmentofficials upset.

The story, published in the July30 issue of The Tech, said EECSfears it may lose its ranking as thepremier electrical engineeringschool in the country, and slip tothird in computer science.

"It is unfortunate that it cameout in The 7 ech," said Course VI1Head Joel Moses '67.

Moses claimed the' story mayhave given readers the impressionLECS gave the report to the new-spaper. "We did not," he said.

The Tech's account on theEECS computer system wasclosed within four days of the ar-ticle's appearance. "This strikesme as a purely punitive action,"said Richard Salz '83, projectdirector for The Tech's newelectronic newsroom system.

Moses said he suspected TheTech obtained the report throughits EECS computer account, butdenied any connection betweenthe news story and the closing ofthe account.

"I thought the account wouldbe reopened," Moses said. Hesaid he played no part in the deci-sion to close the account.

"What really annoys me," Salzsaid, "is [that] they never ap-proached us with theirsuspicions."

'The account would have beenclosed at the end of the summer."

Moses said, but could remainopen if Tlhe Te(/h reapplied for ac-cess.

Moses "doesn't understandwhat's going on," Eric M.Ostron-i, EECS conputer systelns

nzanager, slid. "He doesn't kno,-kanfthing, he's just the departmenthead."

"A lot of accounts are goinglwa;y now, saisid Ostrom. Sum-mer systen users with "strvngconnections to living groups" areroutinely denied access, he said,while the Residence/Orientationweek Clearinghouse system fortracking freshmen is on the corn-pu ter.

The account, used by The Techto develop software for its newelectronic composition system,was expected to be available untilaround registration day, Salzsaid. He expected some noticebefore the account was to beclosed, he added.

"There's no guarantee what-soever," said Ostrom. He claimedclosing accounts without warningis standard EECS procedure.

A message recorded on TheTech's telephone answeringmachine last week said, "Myname is Eric Ostrom and you peo-ple are in deep trouble," butOstrom denied saying anythingabout the article in The Tech.

Moses did not deny the ac-curacy of The Tech's report on theEECS draft, but said he now feltit likely that M IT will continue tobe ranked first in the nation inelectrical engineering.

Tech Photo by Rod WesterThe Charles River will be renamed the Kwa Na Ha Nee River, if Cambridge Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci hashis way.

First People, a group planning aweekend festival in lateSeptember, celebrating AmericanIndian culture. The festivalshould be held on the Charles'banks, Vellucci said.

Vellucci and Fox Tree will tryto arrange a meeting to discussthe name change with BostonMayor Kevin H. White, theCambridge mayor said this week.

"Now that I can say [Kwa NaHa Nee]," Vellucci told the coun-cil, "I think it sounds nicer thanCharles River."

"I don't want to change thename," Vellucci explained thisweek. "The Indians want tochange it."

Fox Tree named Vellucci anhonorary Indian chief torecognize the mayor's support forthe name change.

The mayor used his new Indian

name, chief Little Velvet, severaltimes during the council meeting.He chose the name from atranslation of his Italian surname.

Several of the councilors raiseddoubts about the feasibility ofNative First People's Septemberfestival.

The city would welcome theevent, said councilor David Sul-livan '74, but "a lot of logisticalproblems could arise. It is goingto cost a lot of money to host atribal festival."

The council asked the citymanager to study the group'splans and report its cost to thecity.

Vellucci led a successful cam-paign earlier this year to changethe name of Boylston Street inHarvard Square to John F. Ken-nedy Street. The change took ef-fect May 29.

The-Tech FRIDAY AUGUST 13, 1982

Washington, DC, is America's mecca for tourists, particularly in spr-ing and summertime. Swarms of Legionnaires, Scouts, and studentsperiodically invade the city, and are ferried to and fro by tour busses orbollixed by the ultra-modern subway system. They strive to see as manysights in as short a time as possible, recording it all as snapshots withMom and the kids in the foreground.

Their routes are predictable: they visit the Washington, Jefferson,and Lincoln Memorials; the Smithsonian Museum, the White House,and the Supreme Court. Inevitably, they climb the stairs that lead tothe Capitol.

In addition to the thousands of pleasure-seekers swathed in polyesterdouble-knit or Izod Lacostes who visit the Capitol, many protestgroups bring their agenda to the steps, where temporary visitors fromthe hinterland (their more permanent representatives inside) or anypassing journalist or television cameraman may be introduced to thatday's cause.

Last Tuesday, under the shadow of the Capitol dome and withinsight of the Supreme Court, a group of fundamentalist Christians ex-plained America's problems. They were no ordinary group of small-town gospel-banging evangelists: not content simply to announce theirbeliefs, they came equipped with props. A life-sized, plastic statue of abeatific Jesus Christ stood on the steps. not alone, but with a trustyvinyl disciple by his side. (Christ wore his light blue cloak Tuesday. Onone previous visit to the same site he had worn a crimson velvet cloakinstead. Why had he changed his clothes? The crimson was much morephotogenic.) Next to Jesus and his follower were two plastic lambs,looking suitably innocent and possibly bored. (It is not easy being alamb these days, even one in divine service.) Behind the statues, a tinyloudspeaker blared patriotic tunes.

While Christ and his charges quietly observed, two men bellowedinto a portable public address system. One brandished a sign describingthe evils of American civilization - abortion, drugs, feminism, lawles-sness, lack of prayer in public schools - while another proclaimed inthe rhythmic cadence of a square dance caller how to redeem lost souls.If America abolished abortion, drugs, feminism, and lawlessness- hedid not say how - prayed in schools and accepted his particularreligious beliefs, all would be saved forever and the United Stateswould rule the world again.

Most bystanders appeared unconvinced. Christ did not comment, hisfeatures frozen forever in synthetic splendor.

Earlier this month, with the fullsupport of President Reagan, theUnited States Senate voted 69 to31 in favor of a Constitutionalamendment requiring a balancedbudget. If this astonishing act ofpolitical courage is matched bytwo thirds of the House ofRepresentatives, then statelegislatures across the countrywill have the opportunity toenshrine in our Constitution theabsolute cure for all of oureconomic woes: a mandate for abalanced federal budget.

What is singularly strikingabout this wonderful amendmentis its simplicity. Just imagine- ifthis amendment were part of ourConstitution today, we would nothave the projected deficits of 500billion dollars over the next threeyears. We would make the dif-ficult political choices necessaryto reduce deficits. We would havea balanced budget!

Now that the Senate has putour government well on the waytoward solving our budgetarydilemma, we should set our sightson finding constitutionalremedies for the other difficultproblems we now face.

Take unemployment, for exam-ple. Last month, the unemploy-ment rate reached 9.8 percent, itshighest level since 194 1. Somepoliticians have tried to deal withthis important problem by design-ing policies to stimulate invest-ment, increase productivity, andimprove our ability to compete ininternational markets. Other

leaders, including PresidentReagan, have tried to cut un-employment benefits and toblame the media for exaggeratingthe significance of this issue. Butthese approaches overlook theobvious solution: we must adopta Constitutional amendment re-quiring that every American begiven a job. It would work thesame way as does the balancedbudget amendment, and its ad-vantages should be evident toevery politician up for reelection.

But there is no need to stopwith a full-employment amend-ment. This country has a numberof difficult problems that needquick, sensible solutions. Foryears, Americans have been ter-rorized by an ever-increasingwave of crime. We need to fix thisproblem. We need to fix it now.We need a Constitutional amend-ment prohibiting crime. Byadopting such an amendment, wecould avoid all the tough ques-tions about prisons, the insanitydefense, the death penalty, andgun control. (Of course, it may benecessary to exempt certaingroups, sunch as Congressmen,from this amendment to gain thesupport needed for passage.)Similarly, to counter the growingSoviet military threat, we couldadopt a Constitutional amend-ment mandating US military.superiority. There would be nomore need to worry about Sovietexpansionism. We would ensurepeace through strength!

Clearly, the possibilities are

seemingly endless. It is a shamewe did not figure this out sooner.To build a better America, wemust design, propose, and ratifyConstitutional amendments, andwe should start by ratifying anamendment that requires abalanced federal budget.

Vinyl Confessions, by Kansas on CBSRecords. Playing time 42 minutes.

Private Audition, by Heart on EpicRecords. Playing time is 40 minutes.

After nearly ten years, Kansas haschanged: John Elefante has joined thegroup and Steve Walsh has left. Theirnewest album, Vinyl Confessions, is un-predictable and depends on yelling to makea point. All but two cuts start out well andthen rapidly deteriorate. "Play the GameTonight," the only track to hit the charts sofar, sounds familiar on first listening butbranches off to become an enjoyablemelody. "Chasing Shadows," possibly thebest track of the album, is reminiscent of"Dust in the Wind" and could make ahigh-selling single if released in that style.The scng-is just over three minutes andwould fit well in AM Musicradio formats.

As for the rest of the album, one songopens with a movie soundtrack tear-jerking instrumental; another opens withElton John-like sound effects-both soon

ye trail into similiar sounding raunch. Thee longest cut, "Crossfire," opens with a pret-

j ty though slightly strained solo, a catchybeat, and would merit interest if it didn't

i drag on with an interminable (and poor)i Instrumental, more strained solo singing,and more yelling, "caught in a crossfire."On the plus side, lyrics are on the inside

the album, this is not a hard-core discorelease ("I Feel Love"). Besides thepresence of Springsteen and Vangelis keep-ing the album away from that style, there isalso a 1949 Billy.Strayhorn ballad, "LushLife," which brings us to, but not beyondSummer's limitations as a singer.

The repetitious throbbing disco of thepast, ("Love to Love You") has beenreplaced by interesting lyrics, changingrhythm, and a new style. Disco is not dead;it has merely evolved into a new life form.I-nterestingly enough, the first cut from thealbum to be released as a single is "Love isIn Control," the most early-disco-liketrack on the record; when last. seen, the cuthad hit number 27 in five weeks. Next out,hopefully, will be "Mystery of Love."

The quality of the pressing is very high;lyrics are included. At the very least, youcan check your speaker's frequencyresponse - have a good time!

Donna Summer by Donna Summer onGeffen Records, a Quiex If Limited EditionPressing. Playing time is 41 minutes.

Since 1975, Donna Summer has had a

triple platinum album, a double platinumalbum, a platinum album, and numerousplatinum and gold singles as well as a fewgold albums. Summer's second album withGeffen, sometimes known as Thae Summerof '82, shows great promise. Bruce Springs-teen and Vangelis both contributed to thecomposition of "Protection" and "State ofIndependence," respectively. Backgroundsingers include Chris Cross, MichaelJackson, Kenny Loggins, DionneWarwick, and Stevie Wonder. The super-

star conglomeration shows in the finalresult. Moreover, there is some fantastic in-strumentation here besides the familiar

synthesizers, there's an acoustic piano,polymoog and vocoder, and a SynclavierII.

Toto IV byv Toto on Columbia Records.Total playving time is 42 minutes.

Toto is a group with many sounds- andsix men to produce them. Since their 1978debut album, we have seen such disparatetunes as -99" and "Hold the Line" hittingthe charts. "Rosanna," from their newestalbum, has been in the top 100 for 18weeks.

Toto knows how long a track shouldlast. Only two of the ten on Toto IV lastless than 3:30 - three of them last about

five minutes. Fortunately, the three longestare also the three best. First of these is

"Rosanna," which at five and 30 includinga beautiful instrumental lends itself to be-

ing cut to ribbons by some radio stations.The second is "I Won't Hold You Back," a

calm easy-moving tune which, unlike mostothers of its ilk, doesn't sound like all fiftyof Manilow's hits. The third is also the

close of the album: "Africa" oughta be thenext single - yeah, they used marimbas(Joe Porcaro)- but by all means, if it isn'treleased as a single, but the album for thiscut alone. Wildly different from "Rosan-na," "Africa" also contains a magnificantinstrumental section, this one using themarimba (Jim Horn).

If you enjoy listening to "99,5 try"Waiting For Your Love" for a reminder

of the old harmony. Skip the first of sidetwo which seems to lack any identifiablestyle or rhythm. Lyrics are missing, butdon't miss Toto IV. . a definite winner.

Buy "Chasing Shadows" as a 45, if itbecomes available.

Unlike the Kansas portion of the adver-tising promo, the cut chosen for the Heartsection, "City's Burning," is one of thepoorest on Heart's newest album. There isno possible melody here-that the listenercan pick up and hum, and constant humm-ing of a song probably leads to thepurchase of that song on many occasions.Well, not here ... within only a few weeksof release, Private Audition began plum-meting off the charts. But wait! it's not thatbad. It has something for everybody: funk("This Man is Mine"), background music("Angels"), jump-up-and-down-to music("Bright Light Girl"), music to write aHUM-D paper to ("Hey Darlin Darlin"),and yelling and screaming ("Fast Times").

Missing are the sexy, sultry sound of"ooooh, Barracuda," but there are someunusual sounds worthy of your attention.There's even a southern twang to the titlecut, which has a definite l1975-ToniTennille-Starland Vocal Band-sound.

Nothing here will hit number one, butnearly all of them could be received well onalbum-oriented rock (AOR) stations, es-pecially "Bright Light Girl." Lyrics are in-cluded, so go for it.

Dust and ash from the volcanohave banded the earth from theequator to about 30° Northlatitude att an altitude of about 16kilometers. In this band scientistshave noticed the greatest decreasein radiation, although the effectslowly decreases to the north andsouth.

Boston is north of the band ofdebris.
