Bv Harold SternBiogen, a Cambridge-based

pharmaceutical company, an-nounced it has begun the firsttests of gamma interferon, a drugproduced through use of recom-binant DNA on humans in Swvit-zerland.

Biogen must follow federalguidelines on genetics researchand also comply with a 1981Cambridge ordinance regardingthe use of recombinant DNAtechnology in the city.

The ordinance established theCambridge Biohazards Commit-tee (CBC), whose purpose is-overseeing all use of recombin-ant DNA in the City of Cam-bridge." All institutions wishingto use recombinant DNA mustobtain a permit from the Comn-missioner of Health and Hospi-tals and the approval of theCBC.

Clin'ical trials for gamma inter-feron are scheduled to start laterthis year in the United States.

Dr. Walter Gilbert, chairmanof Biogen, said, "As [it is] a nat-ural protein normally producedby white blood cells, gamma in-terferon has the potential of be-ing far safer than many of thechemotherapeutic agents currelt-ly in use."

The problem with many of thepresent drugs, he explained, isthat they are unable to discrimi-naate between cancer cells andrapidly growing normal cells.This causes many dangerous sideeffects, including vomiting, riskof infection, and damage to theheart, lungs, liver and kidneys.

Gam~ma interferon should in-hibit cancer cell growth and alsocould possibly kill tumoer cellsand act against viral infection.Cancer patients, who often havea low resistance to infection,could benefit significantly fromthis effect.

Gamma interferon has been, incurrently completed tests, signifi-cantly more effective than alphainterferon, Gilbert said. Alphainterferon wtill be marketed in1984 by Biogen's licensee, theSchering Corporation, accordington Gilbert.

Bio-en is not claiming thatgamma interferon is a cure forcancers salid Peter Feinstein, vicepresident of the company. "Ifv ou take a cancer that's ninetypercent faltal, or one hundredpercent fastal, and if you ca3n get aten percent or a1 twenty percentcure rate, or extend a1 life for ayears then that's a significantoharrmalceutical,'' he said.

The company will use volun-teers to determine the effective-ness of the drug and to find anypossible side effects. The volun-teers will be people who have hadall the normal treatments for can-cer, Feinstein said.

"cWe must make sure it's non-toxic, and we must prove that thedrug helps," he continued.

Later tests will determine prop-er dosages, and further studieswill attempt to give additional in-formation about the effectivenessand safety of the new drug, Fein-stein said. The tests will take ap-proximately three to four years tocomplete, and the approval ofnational regulatory agencies willtake another year, he said.

Rich McKennen, a spokesmanfor Cambridge Mayor Alfred E.Vellucci's office, explained thatBiogen is regulated by the city."They can't do anythi ng untilthey go to the CBC. They mustexplain the type of research to bedone, and the city has the rightto inspect the facilities." McKen-nen said, however, he was unsurewhether any inspection s have ac-tually been made.

All salaries and expenses of thestaff of the CBC will be dividedamong the institutions holdingpermits under the DNA technol-ogy ordinance.

Cambridge residents must uphold the right of free researchby voting against the Nuclear Free Cambridge Act in city elec-tions Tuesday. The act, under the pretense of limiting nuclearweapons production, would restrict free thought and expressionin the city, and at the universities in the city. The communitymust oppose this act, for it threatens the freedom of MITand,more importantly, the rights guaranteed by the Constitution:

The referendum is an improper response to a very pressingproblem. The proliferation of nuclear weaponry must be con-trolled to ensure the safety of all people on this planet, but thesolution to the problem does not lie in restricting the right topursue research which might further the production of thoseweapons.

An exclusionary clause in the referendum may exempt re-search at M IT and Harvard from the act. The veryh presence ofsuch a clause illustrates the act's weaknless. Any bill which issubject to that kind of varied interpretation cannot properlyserve the interests of the community, including its proponents.

The United States prides itself on its attempts to allay con-cerns of special interest groups without restricting individualrights, an accomplishment of which few other countries canboast. Respect for the freedom of the individual is of para-mount importance, even when the consequences are as fearedas those of nuclear war. Individuals' freedom to research mustnot be revoked solely because the consequences of the researchmay be undesirable.

The act would be unconstitutional, were it to pass, both dueto its wording and its implications. Residents of Cambridge, bysupporting the act, would endorse the vitiation of constitution-al rights. Those in favor of nuclear disarmament must find away to defuse the danger of cl nuclear confrontation that stayswithin precepts on ou.,- country was founded.

The MIT community- students, and members of the faculI-ty, staff, and administration of the Institute - represents asubstantial block of voters in Cambridge. The referendum re-quires support of one-third of registered voters, and one-half of'those voting. The community must exercise its right to voteand prevent the Nuclear Free Cambridge Act from becominglaw.

about, beielfit leePresident Paul E. Gray '54 holds regular open office hours

to allow discussion of MIT policy with the members of thecommunity. Students must take advantage of that time Mon-day, between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., by expressing to Gray theircollective disappointment that he has refused to exempt studentactivities from the burden of contributing an amount- equal to33.91 percent of their student payrolls to the MIT employeebenefit fund.

The requirement is detrimental to student activities. It in noway helps the activities or the MIT undergraduates, who willbear most of the burden while deriving none of the benefits.

The I nstitute will assume students accept the requirementunless they strongly express their concerns to the contrary. Stu-dents, whether or not members of student activities, must actto preserve the well-being of activities, which are so vital to lifeLt MHIT

Gray has opened his office to learn the interests and conl-eerns of community members, they must, in response, take full,advantage of his offer and ensure the continued livelihood ofstudent activities.

If you cannot get an appointment, stop by the president's of-fice a3nyway. Sit down in the reception area and write Gray anote expressing your displeasure. Students canno-t and mustnot -wait for "someone else" to take a stand.

To tne Editor:I went to college at Tufts, in

..Now the townies watched usmove in, goof off for a few years,raise hell in their neighborhood,and then blow out of town inDad's car with a B3.A. stashed inthe trunk. Snots, they called us,

In my four years at Tufts, I didnot break down these barriers.Relations with the neighborswere bad, except for when eitherof us got drunk, and then theywere very bad.

Draper is developing weaponswhich may be used against Drap-er, or -at least weapons that willprovoke the use of similar weap-ons against the country thatDraper lives in. Draper could bethought of as a focal point of asociety that is striving to invent"better" methods of committingsuicide.

The Nuclear-Free Cambridgereferendum is not aimed at forc-ing Draper to relocate. It isaimed at improving civilizationby redirecting our resources fromdestructive to constructive too]building. I see no necessity tochange the location, personnel,or even the salaries at Draper toaccomplish such a change in di-rection. I implore the intelligent,productive people of Draper'Labs to join the rest iof us inmaking Cambridge and the worlda better place to livYe.

To the Editor:As a mzember of the greater

M IT high-tech community, I re-spect the resources of DraperLabs. The facility contains sig-nificant computing facilities, cre-ative scientists and knowledgableengineers. This know-how is acredit to Cambridge and -the ca-pabilities of human-kind.

Flexible tools such as those atDraper can be u~sed for manypurposes. Sadly, influential forcesin our society want Draper to useits tools to develop weapons toharm people. Due to our com-plex global arms race, the in-crease in number and "'effectivenl-ess" of weapons increases thelikelihood that the weapons waillbe used. By whom and againstwhom?

The United States has a policyto give away weapons. It hasbeen known to arm both sides ofconflicts (i.e., the Mideast). Theweapons developed at Draper in1983 will. be used by the US mili-tary next decade and by whomthe current President decides togive them to a few years aftert h an

Impications ofinvasion ad

The day of the United States-led invasion of Grenada,the organizers of a protest posted photocopies of TheBoston Globe report of the action, together with the timeand location of the protest, around the Institute. Someoneunknown wrote uponl nearly all of them, "COMMU-NISTS! When the US is overrun, you won't protest ... !"

This statement is disturbing in a number of ways. Thefirst is the knee-jerk labeling of protestors as Commu-nists. It is sad, though unfortunately not surprising, to seesuch red-baiting in 1983. Ther~e are far too many peoplewho still have not accepted the idea that one can object toand fight against particular actions of the United Statesand still be a loyal American. Protesting when things arewrong is an important. part of that loyalty.

The graffiti, artist also completely accepted the notionthat without Amsericanl intervention, the entire WesternHemisphere would soon succumb to the evil forces of Ha-vana and Moscow, From there, naturally, it would be sim-ple for the Communists to overrun the United States.Let's be reasonable. It is almost inconceivable that acountry as tiny as Grenada could pose a threat even to itsneighbors, let alone to the IOnited States. The Commu-nists will not creep across the Rio Granlde in the dead ofnight and take over the country while everyone is sleep-ing.

I do not want to condemn the government's action outof hand; it is possible, though unlikely, that the invasionwill turn out to have- been justified. The public may neverknow, since all the facts may never be released.

The news blackout of the invasion is one of the mostdamning pieces of evidence against our government. Ihave heard somve fellow students say they are glad thepress was banned from the island, since the governmentwould otherwise have had difficulty explaining itself tothe public. Considering opinions such as those of theanonymous graffiti artist, it seems the government has ex-tplained its side better than it could have dreamed.

The president's spokesman, Larry Speakes, actually hadthe nerve to maintain that reporters were being bannedfor their own safety. H~ow many of us believe that the ad-ministration cares about Sam Donaldson's well-being?Corresp~ondents have gone into combat since the Revolu-tionary War. Some have been hurt, and some have been.killed, but that was a risk they voluntarily accepted. Theinference is clear: The government's true motive was tohide something from the public.

There is further evidence to cast doubt on the governl-ment's veracity. The "multinational" force- consistingof almost 2000 US troops and a token contingent of sol-diers from the six other involved countries combinedwas supposedly sent at the request of Grenada's neigh-bors.

The prime minister of Dominica, however, said theUnited States initiated the idea to invade. US PresidenltRonald Reagan, in his television address, justified the in-vasion by referring to a mutual assistance pact among theCarribbean nations involved. This treaty, however, is anagreement that all members will come to the aid of oneattacked, not a license to overthrow governments that-make the others nervous. The invasion violates both theUnited Nations Charter and the Organization of Ameri-can States treaty.

This Is not toy understate the apparent viciousness oftose who overthrew the governlment of Maurice Bishop-himself a "leftist thug." Cubans and Soviets were in

Xm= - pno --Grenada invasion sparks debate~~~~~~~~~~~0

No excuse forUS heemnony

Fifteen hundred US troops swarmed the tiny island ofGrenada a week ago Wednesday morning, virturally de-claring war on the Marxist country of I111,000 people.Despite Reagan's rhetoric, the history of the situation il-lustrates there is not a single valid excuse for, the Grena-cdian invasion,

Eric Gairy camne to power in British-ruled Grenada inthe early 1960s, using his position to line his pockets withGrenadian money. In 1970, Maurice Bishop led a demon-stration calling for more jobs for the people. In response,Gairy doubled police power, curtailed citizen's actions,and formed a terrorist gang to check his political oppo-nents.

In 1973 Bishop and the New Jewel Movement orga-nized strikes and called for Gairy's resignation. Bishopwas thrown in jail and tortured for his efforts. In 1974 theNew Jewel Movement organized an island-wide strike,after which Grenada became an independent country,though it remained part of the British Commonwealth.

Gairy formed alliances with the right-wing regimes ofChile and South Korea. The United States ignored theseactions. Gairy won reelection in 1976, though many dis-puted its validity. In March of 1979, while Gairy was outof the country, the New Jewel Movement bloodlessly tookcontrol of Grenada and declared Bsishop prime minister.

Since the revolution, the United States has tried to un-dermine it. Bishop quoted a State Department documentclaiming Grenada's greatest threat to the United Stateswas as an Englishspeaking revolutionary country. TheUgnited States cut off all direct economic aid and pres-suredi other countries to do the same.

The United States practiced the invasion of Grenada-an island in the Grenladines -in 1981. Operation "OceanVenture '81" was a excercise in overthrowing a fictionalisland government - "Amber" in the "Amberdines" -under the pretext of rescuing trapped American citizensand installing a regime favorable to "ithe US way of life."

The United States has also slashed Grenada's prosper-ous tourist industry significantly. Heeding false claims ofdanger, many US tourists avoided Grenada. To increasetourism, Grenada began work on an international airport,one of several that size in the Caribbean. Grenada firstasked the United States for aid. Reagan refused, claimingSoviet and Cuban planes would use the airport. Grenadafinally received funds from the European Common Mar-ket, the Scandinavian countries, and Cuba. Several hun-dred of the workers were Cuban, thus explaining the largeCuban presence on the island.

In April 1979, Grenada asked for US aid to defend it-self against Gairy's counter-revolution. Jimmy Carter in-stead gave arms to Gairy and threatened Bishop not toseek Cuban aid.

The United States also rejected a Grenadian request tohelp with its literacy and health -campaigns. Cuba sentteachers and doctors.

Grenada's socialist revolution prospered. The majorityof Grenadians supported it and continue to support it. Asthe economy grew, unemployment went from 48% in

I*~~~~~ amlftvasion givesfreedomn ack

The U~nited States invasion of Grenada was designedneither to bring new revenue to the United States to takecontrol of the American continent. It was an attempt onthe part of the United States to free a country from totali-tarian rule; it in no way abridged the rights of the freeand independent state of Grenada.

Nations do not have rights. Rights are just and fairclaims that belong to individuals by virtue of their beinghuman. I have a right to my life; I do not have a right toyour property.

Nations, as creations of man, cannot have rights. Theyare subordinated to him because they are created by him.A nation can no more have righ-ts than any of man's othercreations: computers or bookcases, paintings or ideas.

Whlen the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, it wasnot violating the "rights" of the country of Afghanistan;it was violating the rights of each Afghan. The distinctionis an important one. Since Russia has not improved thecivil climate in Afghanistan by its invasion, that invasion-las morally wrong.

The US invasion of Grenada, in contrast, was an at-temlpt to restore to the people of Grenada many of theirbasic rights which they had been denied under the formerMarxist regime. The United States was not morallybound to free the people of Grenada, but the choice wasmorally sound, especially when the action was in agree-ment with the interests of the United States.

The United States had many good reasons for invadingGrenada: most prominently, 500 American students whowere in great danger. The leftist thugs that were control-ling the country had already threatened the lives of thestudents with a 24-hour, shoot-on-sight curfew. It wasonly a matter of time before those thugs would take thestudents hostage- perhaps to prevent US intervention inthe area, perhaps simply to extort money or favors. Hadthe students been taken hostage, the United States wouldhave been left powerless to take military action.

Grenada was also well on the way to becoming a sec-ond Cuba. It does not matter whether the murderers incharge would have acted on their own or been the pawnsof Cuba or Russia; they would still have contributed tothe destruction of freedom in Central America. The quan-tity of weapons recovered in Grenada is proof enough theisland was planned as a supply depot for Marxists andterrorists in Central America.

The conflict in Grenada is a manifestation of the globalwar between freedom and slavery. The forces of slavery,marshalled under the red banner, are winning that war.The Communists are winning the war because they will atstop at nothing to achieve their goal: world domination.

The Communists understand their goal and they workconsistently toward it. They do not, like Westerners, hlavea misguided conscience which tells them it is wrong to de-stroy that which is evil and wrong to protect that which isright.

Westerners believe one should be kind to one's enemyand live with him in peace. The Communists are neverkind to their enemv. They believe they will only be safe

To this end, Section 7of the act not only provides for60 days of imprisonment and a$5000 fine for each day of viola-tion of the act, but gives "con-cerned Cambridge citizens" wide-ranging powers to sue for dam-ages.

To the Editor:The so-called Nuclear-Free

Cambridge act is an extremel ydangerous piece of legislationwith disturbing implications. TheMIT community and Cambridgevoters should be under no illu-sions as to the nature of the pro-posed measure.

The basic philosophy of the actis contained in Section 4, whichstates that; "the funds, personnel,and other resources" engaged inresearch with possible nuclearweapons applications should beredirected to "human services,"the conversion process beingoverseen by the "Peace Comrnis-sion" provided for by Section 5.Thus, the private property andeven the employees and studentsof high-tech firms and universi-ties are mere "resources" to bedisposed of at the whim of politi-cal activists.

Do you, dear reader, consider

Early in the King administra-tion, a Massachusetts cabinet-lev-el official was removed from of-fice because of false educationalclaims on his resume.

Crime Watch program aroundtheir houses; some are going toshovel snow for their neighbors;some are offering to drive elderlyneighbors to stores; and some aregoing to clean the Boston PulblicGardens.

The most important ingredientfor good community relations isadequate communication, Im-merman said. Several fraternitieshave established programs to reg-ularly meet with their neighborsto discuss problems. In severalcases, this was enough to solvethe relation problems.

"In general, people are notoverly unhappy with MIT frater-nities," said Russell A. GaudreauJr., chairman of the NABB. Hesaid he was "very impressed"with the response of M ITand thefraternities to the complaint letterhe sent to Gray Sept 28.

Gaudreau was "very pleased"that a dialogue was set up be-tween the NABB, the Dean's Of-fice, the Interfraternity Confer-ence, and the officers from thedifferent fraternities. He said hefelt that should the "sporadicnoise problems reoccur," theycould be solved with the newlymade contacts.

"I feel very good about the si-tuation," Gaudreau said, "...the school is very responsible andthe students are responsible.These things [noise complaints],they happen."

Gaudreau noted several meet-ings have occured between mem-bers of the MIT administrationand the NABB. He praised the

[against the fraternities] has actu-ally decreased this' year," Sher-wood commented, "but their seri-ousness has increased." He notedthat the Boston Police tended toignore the noise complaints in thepast, but this year, have beenhassling the fraternities by threat-ening actions like arrest.

Immerman agreed the numberof complaints against MIT frater-nities has decreased. He also not-ed that the situation of the lodg-ing licenses is fragile. Bostondoes not want any more fraterni-ties to move into the city; in1979, the,newly-formed Zeta Psiwanted to move into a burnedout funeral parlor near KenmoreSquare, but since the city refusedto issue lodging licenses, the tfra-ternity had to find another loca-tion.

Legal action has been takenagainst certain fraternities in thepast, Immerman said. About fiveyears ago, neighbors filed suitagaint Sigma Alpha Epsilon forproducing excessive noise. Ajudge decided to enjoin the fra-ternity to stay within a specificdecibel level.

One of the reasons for the anti-fraternity sentiment in the BackBay area, according to Immer-man, is the increasing propertyvalues. He noted many of the fra-ternities moved into Boston dur-ing the period of falling real es-tate prices due to an exodus tothe suburbs. Recently, however,the trend has reversed, and peo-ple are moving back into the city,causing land prices to rise. A fra-ternity neighbor is seen as lower-ing the value of a condominium.

Frats improving relations ·Many fraternities have under-

taken community projects to im-prove their image in the BackBay, according to Sherwood. Sev-eral fraternities are starting a

Sherwood shared the sameconcern. "If the B.U. campus p0.lice acquired these powers, theycould hassle the MIT frats nearthe B.U. dorms. ... In the past,there have been some less thanpleasant encounters betweensome frats and the B.U. campuspolice."

Sherwood noted the root of theproblem is that B.U. has a set ofvery strict noise rules for theirstudents - stereos must beplayed through headphones andexcessively loud students can getkicked out of university housing,Since there are several MIT fra.ternities next to B.U. dormi.tories, their campus police blamethe MIT students for inciting theB.U. students by having partiesnext door.

John Doyle, the chief of theB.U. campus police, confirmedthat they are seeking deputy sher-iff powers. B.U. campus policecurrently have special police pow-ers in Boston which gives themarrest powers around B.U. Hesaid, however, that Harvard Uni.versity campus police already has those powers and that Northeast.ern campus police will be getting deputy sheriff status Nov. 17.

"[The Boston University cam.pus police] has a good working relationship with the MIT frats," Doyle said. He said he feels that !there "will be no problem" with the MIT fraternities in the future and that both groups could bene- fit from a responsive and cooper- ative atmosphere.

community improvement projectsstarted by several fraternitiessuch as the "Alley Rally" inwhich fraternity brothers cleanthe litter in the alleys in BackBay. .

"After the first few weeks inSeptember when we had severalcomplaints against some fraterni-ties- to be perfectly honest- Idon't have anything bad to sayabout them," said'Deputy Super-intendent Paul Evans, night com-mander of Boston Police Area D,which contains all the fraternitiesin Boston.

Evans noted that other collegestudents are more of a problemthan MIT fraternities. "Otherstudents - probably Northeast-ern students - live around 'Sym-phony ... that area has muchmore problems than I ever hadon Beacon Street."

B.U. wants frat houses"It is no secret that Boston

University wants to control allthe property [including the frater-nities on Bay State Road]," saidImmerman, noting this adds tothe community relation problem."This is a perceived, if not realthreat."

One of the concerns of theDean's Office is that Boston Uni-versity campus police are seekingdeputy sheriff powers, a countyauthority which will allow themto make arrests anywhere in thecity of Boston, Immerman said.M IT campus police officers donot have authority off of thecampus.

(Continued from page 1 )student affairs.

"As condo development con-tinues, people - who are activeand professionals, understandtheir rights, pay substantial prop-erty taxes, and are generally moreactive in civic activities - aremoving into the area and expectto have the right 'to quiet enjoy-ment of their homes,' " Immer-man said.

"It is fair to say MIT fraternity-members are responsible people,"Immerman commented, "butthey also like to have parties."

Joseph H. Solano '85, Interfra-ternity Conference community re-lations chairman, also agreed."Things in Back Bay are chang-ing - the frats aren't the onesthat have changed. The neighborsused to be 2 to 3 year transients... in many cases they didn'tcomplain. Now the propertyowners feel different.

"It's a give and take situation,"Solano continued. "[The neigh-bors] are right and wrong. Some-times they have a reason to com-plain, but sometimes they areoverly picayune."

The problems with neighborshave only developed in the pastcouple of years, since the NABBhas gained many more members,Solano said.

Serious action threatenedThe NABB's letter to Gray

warned the association may takelegal action against disruptivefraternities. Possibilities cited bythe letter include a move to re-cind the lodging licenses held bythe fraternities.

The fraternities need the lodg-ing licenses to operate as unifiedliving group. Without the li-censes, the buildings would haveto be converted into apartments,according to Sherwood.

By Eflen L. SperoThe Undergraduate Associ-

ation General Assembly unani-mously decided last night to senda letter to Massachusetts Gov.Michael S. Dukakis requesting hedelay action on a bill to takeaway state financial aid fromthose students who have not reg-istered for the draft.

The legislation, Massachusettsbill 50-7a, is an extension of theSolomon Amendment, which de-nies federal financial aid to draftnon-registrants.

"We urge the governor not totake action on this bill until thefederal courts have determinedthe constitutionality of similarlegislation on the federal level,"the motion stated.

The US Supreme Court is pres-ently considering the constitu-tionality of the Soloman Amend-ment. Dukakis has until Nov. 12to sign the bill into law.

The General Assembly also en-dorsed a letter written by Under-graduate Association PresidentMichael P. Witt '84 to Gray ex-pressing, "disappointmenlt at theInstitute's decision to bill studentactivities for a portion of the em-ployee benefit fund."

"It seems unreasonable andunjust for undergraduates andundergraduate activities to be co-erced into helping to fund gradu-ate and research programs," theletter stated, ". . . especially whentheir expected contribution, al-though insignificant in the totalpicture, is so vitally important tothe student organizations.

"I urge you to consider thismatter and then forgive this sur-charge for all student activities,"Witt conclcuded.

The General Assembly debateda proposal to have the MIT com-munity vote whether or not theyfavor the showing of pornogra-phy on campus. The proposers ofthe. referendum, Ishai Nir '85,member at large of the ExecutiveCommittee of the General As-sembly, and James A. MacStravic'84, said the referendum would bea "vehicle for obtaining commu-nity standards on pornography."

Steven E. Barber '83, chairmanof the Student Committee oneEducational Policy, said actionsto reduce the overcrowding in theDepartment of Electrical Engi-neering and Computer Sciencewi'II be taken by IMIT before thefull of 1984,

Possibilities considered by theFaculty Committee of' Education-al Policy include having peopleapply to a speci fic departmentwhen entering MIT, choosing stul-dents for different departmentsbased upon their freshman yearperformance, and reviewing theirrecords after sophomore year toalllow them to remain in variousdepartments, according to Bar-ber.

Witt announced that a forumon academic honesty will be heldat the beginning of next term. Hedistributed a questionnaire on thesubject that stated, "the issue ofacademic honesty, both insideand outside the classroom, ispresently becoming a major con-cern at MIT."

George W. Treese '86 reportedthe appropriations made by theUndergraduate Association Fi-nance Board at its last meeting.The board allocated $225 to theChess Club for the Pan Americanchampionships, $600 to the Hun-ger Action Group for its confer-ence on Nov. 19, $215 to theBowling Club, $580 to the Kore-an Students Association, and$600 to the Disarmament StudyGroup.

King would offer Flynn a posi-tion in his administration, hesaid, "if he's able to meet thequalifications and criteria for thejob." King had previously said hewould form a panel of neigthbor-hood and business representativesto screen applicants for city of-fices.

Should a victorious Flynn offerhim a position, King said hewould accept, ''assuming I couldmeet the qualifications for thatjob. I'm not sure that that is athing that I would do."

(Continuedfrom page i)not understand what you meanwhen you say the legislature givesyou a windfall, and then to saywhat the spending priorities are.

"I've established employmentopportunities and development,both human and economic, asthe places where I want to putthe additional money that wouldcome with the windfall," he said.He would also develop youthtraining programs, he said.

Flynn against payroll tax

Flynn again criticized King'sproposed payroll tax on busin-esses in the metropolitan area."We are having problems rightnow with development in ourneighborhoods, he said. Busin-esses would prefer to operate out-side Boston should the city im-pose a payroll tax.

"A payroll tax is a regressivetax," Flynn said.

To caj.ole the state legislatureto approve the payroll tax andthe M BTA takeover, King said,he would form al "coalition" with"legislators find people from oth-er cities aind towns in the region.

"It's in their interest to get theMBTA off of their backs . . . be-cause it is a1 drain on their fiscalalffairs,"' he said. His coalitionwould alpproalch the le~gislalturewith a "good cross-section ofpeople.''. Should the legislalture reject theproposals, King staid he couldstill rely on an additional $30million in Lid to Boston fromMassachusetts. The new mnayormust be "is6!calily respon~sible" be-caluse many budget cuts would benecessalry, he said.

"' I feel thalt there is al strongsense that something needs to bedone by next years but not neces-sarily any long-term p~lan," Lom-balrdi solid.

The forum will be held Tues-daly, Nov. 8, in 26-100 from 4p>. ill. t o 6 p. m.

King claimed earlier in the de-bate that as director of the MITCommunity Fellows Program hegained much experience in "run-ning and managing programs"and balancing a budget. "My op-ponent, Mr. Flynn, doesn't haveany of that kind of experience."

King then pointed out that theBoston City Council had defeat-ed the budget cuts Flynn pro-posed. "I don't think that that in-dicates an ability to handle a fis-cal a situation in a way that iscredible," he said.

Flynn countered, "My recordis very, very progressive, and it'svery, very clear I'm a person whocan get things done, work withcoalitions."'

Flynn said he "was the onlycandidate for mayor to submit acomprehensive tax reform pack-eige in the state legislature. Thatpackage includes a 15 percentparking excise tax, which wouldrais~e $1 2 to $15 m illion, and a2.3 percent increase in the hote3-motel tax, which would raise an:-other $2 to $4 million.

would not put aon the taxpayersBoston," Flynn

Colleges not paying enough

Flynn also had harsh words forthe tax-exempt institutions whichoccupy 47 percent of Bostonland. "They're not paying taxesin any significant way to the peo-ple of the city. Why, at least,can't they be making in-lieu-ofcontributions'?

'Those universities and thosecolleges, those hospitals, ought tobe participating with the city ad-ministration, with the people ofthe city to help out on the neigh-borhood community health cen-ters, to help out in our publicschool system,' Flynn said.

King said he would formgroups similar to local schoolboairds to discuss the placementof police and firemen in the city.

When Mayor Kevin H. Whiteseverly cut support for those de-palrtments, King said, "Peopledid not get a chance to sit downwith the mayor, or the policecommissioner, or the fire com-missioner, with respect to whattheir needs were."

Clinton opposes the nuclearreferendum. "For ten years wetried to get jobs into Kendallsquare and now these same peo-ple are trying to get this referen-dum passed. You hear that wehave to send a signal to Washing-ton," Clinton said. "We alreadyhad a referendum on that. Whatgood is it going to do to take nu-clear research out of Cambridgewhen it's still in Boston, Somer-ville and other places."

Incumbent Councilman Thom-as W. Danehy bases his campaign"on the preservation of neighbor-hoods ... back in 1971 we weretalking about preserving neigh-borhoods when it wasn't even fa-shionable." He "favors develop-ment - proper development," al-though he is "a great believer ofneighborhoods controlling theirown destiny."' He opposes theNuclear Free Cambridge referen-dum.

Danehy is "basically a fiscalconservative I am in some casesconsidered by some to be tooconservative, although some peo-ple who supported me in the be-ginning tell me I'm getting too li-beral." He prefers to weigh allsides of an issue and "decideeach issue separately."

John W. Downing Jr. is "run-ning primarily as a taxpayer's ad-vocate."* He notes city govern-

to live." He stresses the need to"keep controls on rent and con-dominium conversion to allow adiverse group of people to con-tinue to live in the city - andthat includes a lot of MIT stu-dents."

Sullivan says "I think I've beenthe leader on the council in sup-porting these issues." He take noposition on the nuclear referen-dum. "I am urging people to votetheir conscience." he said.

Cambridge Mayor Alfred E.Vellucci said he is "concernedwith the poor people of this city.I am concerned with the peoplewith no place to live. I'm concer-ened with the big squeeze thatdrove all the housing out ofCambridge." He is worried aboutelderly housing and public educa-tion.

Vellucci said he is "concernedwith the competition betweenMIT, Harvard, and the rich peo-ple of the city with the poor. It'sa war between the haves and thehavenots." He refused to state aposition on the nuclear referen-dum. "I'mn so busy helping thepoor people, I don't have time forworld affairs."

Afice Wolf thinks the most im-portant campaign issues are de-velopment and the city budget.She wants to insure that commer-cial development doesn't signifi-cantly change the city and that itprovides jobs for city develop-ments. She "hopes to be a cata-

most important issue for the citycouncil, and we have to look forways to improve low and moder-ate income housing." He has noposition on the Nuclear FreeCambridge referendum.

Durette thinks Cambridge col-leges impose too much on hous-ing. "The universities have to becontained," he said. He feels "theSimplex site should contain anumber Of housing units for peo-ple of low and moderate inco-mes." Since the Caragianes peti-tion which MINT has supported"does not guarantee any housingon the site, I do not support thatpetition."

Incumbent Council memberSaundra Graham has "been onthe council for 12 years and hasworked on housing, employment,job training, and affirmative ac-tion." She sees herself as a"staunch advocate for the elderly,the working poor, the unem-ployed, the underemployed, peo-ple of color, and women."'

Graham is very concerned with"child care, citizen participationin the government, and a budgetthat provides for quality humanservice programs." She was oneof the petitioners to put the Nu-clear Free Cambridge referendumon the ballot.

Incumbent Council memberDavid E. Sullivan said he feels"the most important issue iskeeping Cambridge a place wherepeople of all incomes can afford

ment spending has been risingmuch faster than inflation in re-cent years, wh'ile "city serviceshave not improved at all." He is"certain that services can be im-proved at no additional cost tothe taxpayer."

Downing has "been active inpolitics for 20 years, but this isthe first time I've run [for the citycouncil]." He has "come outstrongly against the Nuclear FreeReferendum. I feel it's absolutelyabsurd and even scary that youcan try to stop that kind of basicresearch.

Incumbent council memberFrancis H. Duchay is "very con-cerned with the financial aspectsof the city government." He is''interested in working moreclosely with the state to channelsome of the money back to thecities," in order to "alleviatesome of the problems caused byproposition 2 I/2." Duehay notedSS5o of Cambridge land is taxexempt, and since the city relysprimarily on property taxes forrevenues, this has caused fundingproblems.

Duehay emphasized his con-cern with the environment andeducation. He-sees himself as-somewhat of a concensus build-er on the Council,'! and he is notsupporting the Nuclear FreeCambridge referendum.

MIT dominated the first gamein the best-of-five match, holdingSpringfield to just three points.The Engineers jumped out to a 7-O lead with Michelle Heng '84and Janette Kauth '85 serving forfour and three points, respective-ly. Springfield came back withthree of its own, one the result ofan MIT player's hitting the net.

The Engineers came right baskas Jennifer Smith '86 served,matching Springfield's threepoints to raise the score to 10-3.With the help of Lori Cantu '85at the net, Barbara Wesslund '84brought the game home, servingfive straight poinlts, despiteSpringfield's attempt to break hermomentum by calling a time outat 12-3.

With a commanding victoryunder its belt, MIT jumped outto a 5-1 lead in game two on theserving of Anella M unro '85.Springfield called a time out,
