gathers $815By Mark Munkacsy

As the eight-day Ugliest Manon Campus (UMOC) contestclosed Friday, the sponsoringAlpha Phi Omega officials

murned to each other and beganasking, "What went wrong?"

This year's UMOC check tothe American Heart Fund will beonly $1645.91, the lowest totalsince 1969 and over $1400 lessthan the 1971 total, thecontest's best year so far.

Looking back at the shakyfirst seven days of the contest,APO President Bill Anderson '76told The Tech "We almost didn'thave a contest.'" And the servicefraternity officers areconsidering whether the contestcan continue in its present form.

Thursday evening worried

in I day.APO officials, faced with only$433 collected, called Brian VanDer Workeen '78 (Igor) and askedif he and Count UMOC (BrianHughes '77) would reunite lastyear's winning team to run againand try to help the ailingcontest.

Hughes and Vander Workeensaid they "would considerrunning," and by six thatevening, the Count said, "I gotmy cape and makeup and stuff"and went to work.i, In the remaining 23 hours ofthe contest, the Count and Igorsucceeded in raising $615.87 toeasily win over Rich Goldstein'79, who had $437.44 to showfor eight days' campaigning.

recommended that MIT rejecta proposed "activity fee" planfor funding student activities infavor of the current fundingmethods.

In a letter to Associate Deansfor Student Affairs Robert-blden and Jon Hartshorne, Un-dergraduate Association Presi-dent Lee Allen '76 and other stu-dents concluded that "the pre-sent form of extra-curricular ac-tivity funding would probablybe most suitable to our needs inthe present situation," recom-mending "strongly" that the cur-rent method be kept.

The recommendation is ex-pected to end the administra-tion's consideration of the pro-posed activity funding plan.which would have incorporatedthe cost of activities as an"activity fee" in each student'stuition.bill. Holden and Hart-shorne had chaired a committee

The petition was signed byNobel Prize winners DavidBaltimore, American CancerSociety Professor at MIT,Professor of Chemistry EmeritusHarold C. Urey of the Universityof California at San Diego andBiology Professor James Watsonof Harvard, as well as byProfessors Emeritus of PhysicsPhilip M. Morse and VictorWeisskopf, both of MIT.

Kendall noted that thereliability of nuclear reactors hasnot met what he considersacceptable standards In the'past.There have been more severe

mum amount of funding for stu-dent activities, a lot of peoplewere afraid it would make itvery difficult for activities toget more money when they needit," Allen explained.

The letter to Holden andHartshorne stressed that MIT ac-tivities funding is not struc-tured in the same fashion asfunding at schools that use anactivity fee. "The activities thatwould be funded are not thoseactivities that deal (in terms ofmembership or active interac-tion) with the MIT community aas a whole," the letter said."While the activities funded bythe UA Finance Board all meetthe requirement that they havesome significant impact upon thethe Institute community. theirrespective impacts are segmentedin such a way that it would beinappropriate to fund them witha form of activity fee.'

Allen explained th.at the com-mittee's study of activities feesat other schools showed that thefee was used to fund "mass ac-tivities - concert series, films andand lectures, newspapers, and soforth. But here," he said,"things like LSC, the Sym-phony, The Tech, etc., all takecare of themselves. FinBoard

Hole has found itself embroiledin controversy over proposedcontracts for research and tech-nical development for the gov-ernments of Saudi Arabia andIran - the same governmentswhich MIT was attempting todeal with several months ago inthe Iranian nuclear engineertraining program and a Saudi re-search proposal for water-re-sources studies.

The Woods Hole contracts donot involve the educational ques-tions that were raised by manyMIT faculty and students in thedebate over the Iranian programlast semester, nor do the oppo-nents feel that the institution isbeing "sold" to a foreign govern-ment. But the issue of potentialdiscrimination against research-ers by the Saudi government -the issue which eventually killedMIT's negotiations with theSaudis - has been a matter ofsome cdncern for many WoodsHole staff members and adminis-

concentrates on the small acti-vities like arts groups and specialinterest groups."

Allen said the students in-volved in the study had "feltthere were good intentions in thethe request," but were "worried"about the impact of the fee sys-tem on activities. "We felt thatevery request for more moneyfor activities would result in a'look what student politiciansare trying to do to you' type ofbattle, and we thought thatwould be divisive and wouldn'thelp anyone," he said.

The proposed activities fee "isprobably dead" in the wake ofthe student group's recommen-da3tion. Allen said. HIelden toldThe Tech that he would have todiscuss the recommendation vilthwith the group before he couldact, but that "our committee'sproposal will have to rely heax:ilvon this."

The students' recommenda-tion has sidetracked detailed dis-cussion of what the activity feewould include and how much itwould cost students. "We haven'tgone into great detail on that be-cause we looked at the generaloutlines and decided to suggestthat it be rejected,' Allen ex-plaine d.

trators."There's a very serious ques-

tion at stake here about WoodsHole's attitude on discrimina-tion," Associate Scientist JoelGoldman, one of the major oppo-nents of the program, told TheTech. "The administration ofthe institution has not given usany positive indication that theSaudis won't be allowed to dis-criminate against female andJewish researchers, and we'revery concerned about their lackof a stance."

Under the proposed Saudicontract, Woods Hole wouldagree to help the Saudis estab-lish an oceanographic researchstation at Jidda on the Red Sea.Woods Hole researchers wouldhelp the Arabs choose a site, drawdraw up plans, and develop facil-ities, including a library and aresearch ship.

The Star Market seems tocater to a more internationalclientele than the other stores; ithas a selection of importedcheeses, for example. It also sellslive crabs ($3.49 per pound) andseems to have better lookingvegetables and a larger selectionof them. -

would already be doing. Theidea of giving free labor to anorganization that has not shownoverwhelming sensitivity to theproblems of black people givesme negative vibes.

My strongest objection to theidea, however, is the fear of theprecedent being set. If MIT canincrease its minority recruitmentwithout spending much moneyor putting out much effort, theAdrnissions Office will have noreason to have a minorityrecruitment program or budget.This will mean that each yearthe BSU will be forced tocoordinate minorityrecruitment, a job that it shouldnot have to do. Black studentswill be placed in a position ofhaving to donate time in orderto increase the number of blackstudents at MIT.

As for sending black studentsto do school visiting in areaswhere a large number ofminorities are located,-Richardson hedged. Hequestioned whether there wastime to set up such school visitsand whether high schools wouldaccept black students into theirbuildings. Both concerns arevery weak.

(Please turn to page 5S

number of applicants foradmission to MIT generatedincreases as the amount ofpersonal contact increases. Andsince only 200-300 potentialblack high school studentswould probably be contactedthis year, he welcomed allsuggestions from the BSU toincrease personal contact.

The BSU was appalled byRichardson's position on theissue of hiring a new minorityadmissions officer. The very factthat the only persons who knewof the job opening received thisinformation through direct orindirect word-of-mouth withRichardson's acquaintances isvery distasteful. Furthermore hiswillingness to take the risk ofhiring a person withoutadmissions experience is anaffront to the black communityof MIT. He takes the chance-which he admits is a seriousrisk- because he feels that thereis no admissions office in thiscountry that has been trulysuccessful in recruiting black andminority persons.

Richardson, however, seemsto forget that few admissionsoffices have MIT'seve r-worsening record of"sucess" in this area. If this newblack admissions officer is afailure, Richardson will lose alittle esteem from some of themore progressive elementswithin the MIT community.Black people, however, will lose50 to I 00, or more, potentialengineers, scientists, or'economists of MIT quality.Black people don't see the needto take such a large risk, whenother alternatives are available.We are tired of white folks, withlittle to lose, taking suchmonumental risks with the livesand futures of black Americans.

On the issue of black input inthe hiring decision, Richardsondid agree to have a small groupof black students meetinformally with the finalcandidates for the positionavailable. This agreement is notas significant as it seems, in viewof the manner in whichapplicants have been solicited.Also, since black people werenot involved in the reading ofresumes or the initial interviewprocess, all the BSU would bedoing, at best, is rubberstamping Richardson's decision,At worst, the BSU would bewasting its time, since it has no

-the hiring decision.The second major issue -

how to get black members of theclass of 1980 recruited andadmitted - is still partiallyunresolved. Richardson happilyagreed to an idea presented byJohn W. Arnett, III, co-chairmanof the BSU, that all 1000 of the

finmal top minority high, schoolstudents be contacted through

cided phone calls by minority people.a part The BSU agreed to provideplay. people to look up phone1-that numbers, compile lists of)etter students by geographic

By Philip G. Hampton, IIOn Thursday and Friday,

Oct. 23-24, the Black StudentUnion had a booth in Building10 to distribute a BSU positionpaper on Admission Officeproblems. The BSU membersalso solicited signatures fromthose members of the MITcommunity who supported theBSU's position on theseproblems.

During the next ten days, theBSU Admissions Committee andthe B SU Political Actioncommittee met with blackstudents, administrators, faculty,and John A. Mims, a formerAssistant Director ofAdmissions, in order to clarifyall of the issues and concerns tobe discussed with Director ofAdmissions Peter Richardson.

This group decided:- that an experienced black

person with at least five yearsadmissions at a prestigious whiteInstitution should be .activelysought through a nationwidesearch to replace Mims. Theinput of black students and staffshould be solicited throughoutthe entire selection process.

- that all 1000 minoritystudents considered to be thetop candidates for admission toMIT be contacted directly byMIT through phone calls andschool visiting. If the AdmissionsOffice staff finds this to be animpossible task, then minoritystudents should be used to getthe task done. Seriousconsideration should be given tothe idea of allowing some blackor minority students to' doschool visiting, using guidelinesjointly established by the BSUand the Admissiojis Office.

Eight members of the BSUmet with Richardson.on Nov. 5.Four of these people met againthe next day with the Directorof Admissions. The BSU cameaway from these meetings lessthan happy. In summary,Richardson's position was asfollows:

.- that. he does not believethat previous admissionexperience was a requirement forthe position open in theAdmissions Office. Since he hadalready conducted aword-of-mouth search forcandidates and had interviewedmany candidates, black studentscould not be included in allphases of the-"s~eltion process.

To the Editor:Racism, treatment 'according

to race rather than individualqualities, is always wrong. Yet,each week Philip G. Hampton'scolumn in The Tech advocatespreferential treatment for blackswhich is by definition racist. AsI -understand Mr. Hampton,racism is bad if it means blacksare forced to the back of the tbusand good if it means free tripsfor blacks to MIT. Such logical

inconsistencies cannot be cov-ered simply by calling one's op-ponents "closed,. narrow andbigoted."

Making exceptions in the areaof fundamental ethical principlesis very dangerous. Don't sellyour principles, Mr. Hampton,for the price of train fare toMIT.

E.M. Dunn GOct. 24, 1975

To the Editor:f In the course of my studies at

MIT, I have become increasinglydismayed about the attitude ofmost staff and faculty memberstoward their lunch hour. Hard asit is to believe at this Institute,dedicated as it is to ahigh-speed chase of knowledge,some faculty members I knoware simply not serious at allabout their-lunch hour. Someeven have the audacity to treat itas some kind of break in theirworking day. Witness thefollowing comments from someprofessors I know:

- "Lunch hour is a timewhen I relax and have a goodtime. I would very much missthat opportunity. Generally I dosome reading on my own."

- "Lunch hour really relievesthe pressure. It's the only timeat the Institute when you aren'tswamped by the bureaucracy.It's the only time when thisplace feels at all human."

- "I generally use lunch houras a time for getting out andexploring Boston. I would bevery upset if they took it awayfrom us."

- "I use lunch hour as a timeto regain my sanity. They can'ttake it away from us!"

How have we allowed suchlax attitudes to creep into this

great Institute? Are we tobecome a pleasure palace forthose who can think of nothingbut goofing off on their lunchhour? For the sake of the entireInstitute' community, we mustdo away with lunch. It is anabomination!

Professionalappearance and manner wouldbe required of any studentwishing to go school visiting.

I believe that the BSU hasbeen more than responsible indealing with the AdmissionsOffice. Hopefully ourresponsibility will be rewarded

We are members of an MIT fraternity and we invite you tojoin us on week-long ski trips to Smugglers Notch, Ver-mont. We are planning these trips during each of the lasttwo weeks of January. Novices are welcome since many ofthe people on the trip are likely to be beginners.

Lodging will be conveniently located at the foot of theslopes and, with ski tickets and entertainment, will cost$98. Professional ski lessons and rentals will be available atlow rates. Round-trip transportation will be provided for$15.

Last year we went to Mount Tremblant, Canada, with abusload of friends. That week was so successful that wedecided to make it bigger and better this year. We intend totailor the trip to meet your individual preferences, so if youhave any queries, special requests, or good jokes, be surte tocall us.

with the hiring of a valid personin the Admissions Office todevelop and coordinate aminority recruitment programfor the class_ of '81, and futureclasses. We also hope thatRichardson's office explores allpossible methods of increasingthe number of minorities in theClass of 1980, including schoolvisits by black students. Only inthis way can a trusting,meaningful relationship bedeveloped between the BSU andthe Admissions Office, both ofwhich profess the same goal - toincrease the number of minoritystudents in the MIT community.

(Continued from page 1)Saudi visa provisions aimed atkeeping "Zionists" - whichmany Westerners interpret tomean "all Jews" - out of thecountry.

Woods Hole administratorshave -"been aware of the poten-tial for discrimination in thiscontract since the negotiationsbegan" last spring, according toJames Heirtzler, head of the de-partment of Geology and Geo -,physics and a major figure in theSaudi ta'lks. "We incorporatedseveral clauses in the proposal -that we're making to the Saudisdesigned to ease-fears and en-sure that our researchers' rightsare protected," Heirtzler ex-plained.

But opponents of the programare not convinced that the ad-ministration's moves are strongenough. Goldman and other re-searchers started a petitiondrive which netted about 200signatures calling for "reconsid-eration" of the institution'sdealings with the Saudis - a peti-tion which Goldman said made a"pretty strong impression" onadministrators. A "Women'sCommittee" representing femalestaffers has protested the pro-posed contract.

"WVeve raised the question ofwhat the institution is going todo about discrimination, andthey've taken a very bland atti-tude about it," Goldman said.

Goldman dismissed theclauses which Heirtzler said wereplaced in the proposal as "verypatronizing;" and accused thenegotiator of "total ass-kissingof the Arabs." "After the MITcontract talks last spring and theBig 10 (in which several Mid-western schools turned down aprogram because of potentialdiscrimination) the stage hasbeen set for how Woods Holeshould act," Goldman said. "Butthe administration hasn't actedvery well at all."

Heirtzler argued, however,

that the institution has made itsanti-discrimination positionclear to the Saudis, and they un-derstand Woods Hole's require-ments. "They feel that their dis-crimination is political, not re-ligious or racial, and that they'rekeeping people with whom theyare at war out of their country,"Heirtzler said.

The Jidda proposal has notyet been submitted to the Saudisyet, as Woods Hole "lets thewhole controversy shake itselfout," Heirtzler said. The pro-posed Iranian research - an in-ternational cooperation programin which Iran would pay 40 per-cent of the cost of a study of thePersian Gulf and the Gulf ofOman, with the National ScienceFoundation supporting the re-mainder - has run into less con-troversy and is well on the wayto being a signed contract, accor-ding to.Associate ScientistDavid Ross."

"It's a small scale program,just involving two or three ofour people in oceanographic re-search and some training,"Ross explained.

The Iran program hasn'traised the questions of discrimi-nation - "this is business asusual for Woods Hole," Rosssaid. But some researchers at theinstitution are looking at thatprogram as a means of develop-ing the broad question of howWoods Hole should deal withforeign governments in general.

"I feel that we should try towork with any country as longas the institution makes it clearjust where we stand on protect-ing the rights of scientists," Rosssaid. "The Saudi thing has justgotten out of hand becausepeople are feeling insecure aboutwhere Woods Hole will come out:Internal communications arewhat are lacking."

David Anick '77, this year'slUMOC chairman, said this year'spoor total, compared to previousyears, was caused by "thatholiday in there" on Tuesday."It was effectively a three-dayUMOC," he explained.

Officially lasting eight days,UMOC this term was longer thanmost in recent years. "It didn'tdo much good," said Anick.Candidates said the long UMOC"demanded too much," citingloss of a week's worth of studyas a major problem.

When asked what was in thefuture for UMOC, considering

Kendall stated emphaticallythat there are "problems all overthe place. Westinghouse (a majormanufacturer) is being sued bySweden for selling defectiveequipment. The "nuclear boomis definitely over."

Asked about WASH 1400,Kendall flatly stated, "I don'tbelieve it." While he did notimply that the report was biased,Kendall said that his view ofwhat constitutes "acceptable"safety margin and WASH 1400'sview do not coincide.

Delta Tau Delta took fifthplace on the strength of134-pound John Kenny '79 and158-pound Mike Raphael '79(who wrestled with a brokennose), each of whom took firstplace in his weight division.

A three-man team labeled EP(which allegedly stands forExtemporaneous Persons) tiedfor tenth place with Delta KappaEpsilon solely on the efforts ofBill Williams '76 who capturedthe title in the 150-poundweight class.

This year's annual intramuraltournament was the largest inrecent history, with 116students participating, a greatincrease over the 87 whowrestled last year. Theofficiating of the 145 matcheswas excellent due to theexpertise of the MIT varsitywrestlers who served as refereesand officials. There were severalovertime matches during the dayand twice contests weredetermined by judges' decisionsafter even scores at the end ofthe overtime periods.

The fastest pin of the daycame in the first round whenKim Rulon '76 of LCA stuck hisopponent in twenty seconds.Outstanding individual effortscame from Steve Sifferlen '78(FIJI) and Zuerndorfer, whopinned all their opponents totake the championship of theirrespective dividions. Sifferlentook only 4:58 of total wrestlingtime in three matches and,Zuerndorfer took 7:29 in fourmatches to coup first place.

Blancha of Baker had threepins. and Kenny and Raphael ofDTD, the latter wrestling in thelargest and possibly toughestclass, had two sticks apiece onthe way to their crowns.

Final team standings were asfollows: SAE 'A' 68, SC 65.Baker 'A' 53, FIJI 43. LCA 32.DTD 29, PKS 26, ATO 25%/.BTP I8, EP 13, DKE 1 3, DU I 1.East Campus 91V2, PLP 3, ET

By Glenn Brownstein`"A4 PJ - The Utah and Virginia franchises in the A merican

Basketball Association said yesterday that neither has sufficient-fuzds to meet payrolls they must pay by tomorrow, meaningthe b eleaguered ABA could lose two more teams. "

An the past two months, one professional sports league (theWorld Football League) has folded and another is in gravecondition (the ABA), bringing us to the subject of the ever-increasing money being poured into professional sports (mainlyfor salaries) and ever-decreasing returns.

The WFL tried to go too far too quickly_ adding eleven root-ing interests to a public already saturated by 26 pro and 150major college football teams. Attendance inconsistencies damagedthe league's credibility and fantastic salaries ruined its chances torsurvival.

The ABA's problem is primarily related to long-term salariesthat the clubs (or in the case of the now-defunct Baltimore andSan Diego teams, the league) must pay. Having been in existenceeight years now, the league has two confirmed money-makers, theDenver Nuggets, averaging 15,000 fans per game, and the New -York Nets, averaging only about 9000, but profiting from thesame ownership that has since done so well with the Islanders ofthe NHL.

San Antonio, Kentucky, and.Indiana, while losing relativelysmall amounts of money, have survived well with lower payrollsin basketball-hungry areas, but St. Louis, Utah, and Virginia, thelatter two franchises plagued with noncompetitive teams, are indeep financial trouble.

The Spirits of St. Louis (yes, another catchy franchise name),despite Marvin Barnes and Don Chaney, are drawing barely 1500fans to each contest in a city with no highly popular college bas-ketball program.

The problem is that even if the league drops to five or sixteams, the long-term contracts it must honor may very likelycause it to fold, with the possibility (not large) that the NBA willaccept the Nets and Denver next year in an expansion to 20teams.

In any case, it is likely that the problems of non-establishedleagues and unchecked expansion will lead to more and moredifficulty, until finally the number of pro teams is reduced tomanageable size, and the fans begin to get their money's worthafter barely tolerating the inevitable quality decrease of the prosports product.

Speaking of money's worth, the official reason for FenwayPark's new electronic scoreboard is that thf Red Sox can sell com-mercial time and make money. It makes little difference that itwill look quite anomalous propped above the 1910-era ballpark,and damage its unique atmosphere. It's just kind of a shame thatthe overwhelming influence of money (and the lack of it) onprofessional sports has pressured Sox owner Tom Yawkey todeface an otherwise beautiful baseball stadium with a gadget thatbelongs with the domes and the artificial turf, not with FenwayPark.

On the subject of money, it appears to be a concern for col-leges burdened with running pro-level football programs thatmoved the NCAA to establish roster limits for collegiate sports.The proposal, supported by many Division I and several DivisionII colleges, has for obvious reasons met with serious objectionsfrom Division III (small college, no athletic scholarships) mem-bers.

For MIT, establishing a roster limit goes against the purpose ofthe Institute.s intercollegiate program, which endeavors to maxi-mize participation of students rather than to make money or towin national publicity and gain donations from chauvinisticalumrni.

In the past, MIT teams have not cut anyone who wanted tomake a commitment to participate for an entire season, whichideally (I think) is what intercollegiate athletics should be.

Putting a limit on the number of participants is fine forschools interested in minimizing the, cost of a "big-time" program,but it has no place in athletic programs where the purpose is tomaximize opportunity, not revenue.

By Glenn BrownsteinThe :MIIT women's volleyball

team completed its sensationalseason Saturday at BostonU-lversity by winning theDivision PI Massachusetts statevo Ile- b a l cha m p io nshi p,defeating defending titleholderEastern Nazarene in atightly-contested final, 1 5-9,I 5-9.

The win was MIT's 15th of theyear against only one defeat (thatto 'Nazarene during the regularseason) and garnered for thesquad its second tournamenttitle in as many weeks (MIT wonthe Metropolitans last Saturday).

-In the tourney's first round,MIT handled Holy Cross instraight games in the first round,and then split the first twogames of its semifinal matchagainst Wheaton.

In the third and decidinggame, MIT's title hopes appearedto be dastwed when Wheaton ran

up a 1I0-0 lead against a suddenlyineffective Engineer squad.

MIT, however. ran off elevenstraight points and hung ongamely to notch a 15-13 victoryand move into the championshipshowdown against EasternNazarene, whom the Engineershad beaten to win theMetropolitans last week.

The squad's match againstNazarene was by far the mostdecisive of the three the rivalshave played this year.

Despite opening up an 1 1-2lead on the strong serving ofKaryn Altman '78, Sheila Luster

'78, and Lisa Albright '79, andthe spiking of Linda Yester '76,MIT faded to allow Nazarene torun off six points and make thegame competitive again.

Altman served three points tobring MIT within one point ofgame, though, and KathyMensler '77 hit a game winningspike on MIT's second serve

following.In the second game, the same

pattern was followed. Altmanserved six straight points (fourof which were not returned) toopen up a 7-2 lead for theEngineers.

Yet Nazarene rallied on thestrength of some sloppy MITplay to take a 9-7 lead andapparent control of the game.This time Lisa Jablonski '77 wasthe stopper, serving out sixpoints, and spiking through apoor Nazarene block four serveslater to give MIT the title.

Although MIT's tournamentvictory capped a very successfulyear, the team's season did endon a disappointing note, as thehoped-for bid to the Easternsnext - weekend did notmaterialize, as only SpringfieldCollege was selected among allMassachusetts schools to takepart in the regionalchampionship.
