Catnpus Elections Bob Fried
If elected, I wiU set up a committee to experiment with alternative methods for improving communication and represen· tation. I will make sure that the student body is notified about everything that has to do with student government through Newspeak and a bulletin board for club and student government notices, including a list of all S. G. officers.
In the beginning of each year, students are appointed to faculty committees. After that, student government never hears from them again . Many of these students never attend their cummittee meetings. The rest of "" being acUve in student the student body has no com· for the past three munlcalion with these committees. I'm tired or watching it do If elected, I will post the mem· and not being m a position bers of each committee and what enough to do anything the committees are doing.

Student Body President
l've probably had more experience in student government than any other student in the junior class . In my freshman year I was elected class representative. I have been one of the mm;t vocal members of S. G. at meetings to the administration and in N~wspeak. I did more than just talk. For instance, last year I proposed having an open forum on the Plan. They thought it was a great idea, but didn't have the ambition to set11 up. So l set it up almost single handedly. Student Government gave it the name "The Difference Between WPI". Over 100 people, including students, facully and ad· ministration attended. I also wrote "What's Up", for a while, and a number of articles in Newspeak about student government. Even though I was not re-elected class rep. at the end of last year, I have still remained active in the executive committee. This year I've been on the faculty committee on student evaluation of facUlty and have written a number of articles on this committee and on things that I felt should be discussed. I've also been active on the Student Activities BOard for tbe past two years.

I am running for the office of Student Body President with the desire or forming a closer unity among the student at WPI. My contact with students from all classes through committees, fresh· men orientation, registration and living in tbe dorms for the past 3 years has caused me to realize the needs of the student body as a whole. I feel the students and Student Body President can easily work together to make the Student Government act effectively and reflect student desires .

The Social Chairman must be both hard wo-rking and, at the same time, imaginative. It Is his responsibility to make the coUege experience more than textbooks and sliderules.

He must, of coune, be organized, and, in addition, be must be representative of the enUre school.

diverse segments of the faculty, administration and student population. Above all, he must be psyched and he must generate psyche in those aroWld him so that W.P.l. will not fall vicbln to the tedious grind that epitomizes many engineering institutions. It is because I think that I could fulfill these requirements that I ask you to vote for me for President in the upcoming election. The turnout for campus elections is traditionally very poor at W.P .I. I ask you not to lellbat be the case this year. Each and every vote is important if a truly representative group or officials is to be elected. Every dorm resident, every apartment dweller, every fraternity man or commuter should consider his vote the deciding one. Please vole, Thursday, March 14, in Daniels Hall from 10:00 a.m . to 4:00p.m.
I am running for the office of Student Body President without all the answers to the nwnerous problems that have plagued the Student Government for years. I do however have a genuine desire to tackle these problems and do the best job possible. The Student Government's biggest problem is, of course, a lack of direction. The purpose of the Student Government at WPI Is to coordinate actlvlties. distribute
One of the biggest problems wh1ch I feel has to be overcome is the student apathy oo campus. If the student body works together wilh the Student Government, then it wiH be easier for the problems or the students to be realized and solved. I hope to open up com· municatioo between the students and the Student Government. This can be accomplished only by close contact between the Student Body President and the students themselves. I feel one of the other problems on this campus is the social life which every student, both commuter and resident, is exposed to. The Student Body President could act as a mediator by relaying ideas of the students, which the Social Committee Itself may not be aware of, and by suggesting im· provements.
These are a few of the problems which I .see could be tackled by the Student Body President. However, they can not be accomplisbed Without the help of the student body, so please get involved and show your i~terest by voting on Thunday. FWlds and to stimulate student interest. Student apathy is another big problem which we may not be able to overcome, but I feel we can make it less of a binderence. A student government can never hope to be effective unless it is actually a representative organization. By opening more channels of comnnmication belween the Student Government and the student body, and by involving a greater number of students in tbe actual MechanJcs of the Student Government, it can become a body that will effectively accomplish Its goals. 1see the Student Government as a small group of students serving as the voice of the rest of the student body, with its ovenll fWlction being to look after the Interests of ALL WPI students. Only with a well defined set of goals and directions as weD as a good communication and more student input can Student Government act effectively and reOect student desires. As Student Body President, I will do my best to meet these difficult chaJJengea.

The track record of tbe chabTnen haa not been ey have shown themselves proficient at presenting after concert with little IIIDell'th,~ as to what is presently in the music scene.

There is no reason why we equal or better their records. 11 takes is a little dedication lo

This task will not be easy. We have lost a lot of ground over the last two years. Yet I sense a desire by many or you to put it all in the past and start over fresh, realizing that we must work together to achieve our ends. The goals will be up to you and your support. Good music can be presented here. Concerts on a large scale in con· junction with consortium schools is a possibility The revitalization of the coffee house and free jau in Alden can happen. A lot depends on your making the right choice on Thursday. A vote for me wall get the ball rolllng. Please think it over before you vote. For those who would prefer to have the1r social fee spent on music and en· tertamment which appeals Lo a larger part of the WPI community, I will support your cause.
Paul O'Brien and David Salomaki We are candidates for co-social chairman, with an idea we feel is worthwhile. It can easily be seen from past years that having one or two JX'Ople in charge of all social life on campus is most inadequate and too much of a job for those people. Having attended this past year's intersesslon course, "Tbe making of a social chairman'', we came into contact with many important thoughts which could be incorporated into next year's Social Committee. Because or the vast responsibitities this committee holds, we feel it should be broken up into six or so different subcommittees: included would be booking, public tty, tickets, secunty, stage management, and ::;et up·clean up. Any person in· terestcd in helping out with any of these subdivisions would be urged to do so, and in order to implement this, open invitations would be extended to the entire campus a few limes during this and next year
so that all who want to will be able ' 3> make a greater eHort to work to become involved. ll should be with and &ain more information emphasized that these would be from other Worcester Colleges' active committees, and we would oversee and help out In all respects. This plan would return more of the planning and responsibility for tile social life on this campus to a greater number of those interested. Along with this greater involvement, we would also hope to implement another form of participation. At least three limes during the school year we would hold an open meeting for the entire student body to air grievances and to offer suggestions for the bet· termenl of the WPI social life. Some or the other ideas we feel are worthwhile and should be attempted include the following : 1> circulale a questionnaire in order to get student opinion for social life and concerts: 2> publicize all financial tran· sactions in Newspf'ak:
Social Committees; 4) possibly obtain block-seating tickets for Boston and area con· certs for which there might be sufficient Interest. We feel our ideas are extremely conducive to a better social life here at WPI, and they are the basis of our campaign. We both have worked extensively with the Social Chairmen this past year, and feel that well qualified to accept the accompanying responsibilities with being Social Chairmen . U any person has any questions pertaining to these ideas or to our campaign. we will be more than happy to discuss them any lime. Utilization of these plans and participation of the entire student body can make the next year a more enjoyable and meaningful one

Ne wspeak's handling of camp us elections was grea tly questioned last year. This year in a n a ttempt to promote fairness we have tr1ed to give equal coverage to a ll candidates. However , because o f the nature of this year 's election we felt it was a ppropriate to s upport a candidate for Student Body President . F rom experience we know that most students do not know enough about the candidates to make a good choice. Therefore, in an effort to avoid what we feel would be an unwise choice for Student Body President, we are attempting to show students why they should vote for Denise Gorski. We feel that Dt>ruse can give WPI the most effective service of any of the candidates for Student Body President. Her sincerity could not be exceeded by any of the other candidates. In her three years at WPI she has attained a high level of rapport with more students on campus than one could ever conceive. Thus, her position on campus illustrates an ability to communicate freely with students. Denise's relationship with faculty and admnistration can be shown by her presence on the Trustee Committee on Athletics. She exhibited tremendous ambition in the tedious effort she put forth in order that she might be appointed to this committee. For thole ma1e chauvanist pigs who shy away from a female candidate, it's never too late to change your attitude. Denise by no means has or will demonstrate a polarity toward the female members of the WPI community. Many males will gladly attest this fact. Thus, we feel that Denise Gorski is the only candidate we ~n confidently support in Thursday's election. The choice ls left to you. For Social Chairman, we feel that there is little debate in supporting Dave Salomati and Paul O'Brien for Social Chairmen. They have obtained a vast amount of experience by working with the present Social Committee. WPI students would have to be ignorant to support any other canc:Udate(s). <The above editorial opinions are those or John M. FitzPatrick and John C. Matte only.)
To the Ed itor : At the close of 1973 we all read man y words about the v1r tues and faults of a physical education requuem e n l a t WPJ.

At its December meeting the faculty, acting in a spirit of frustration Cor cowardice > refused to remove the motion from the table 1 reel that the physical education requirement deserves more than being swept under the rug and dealt with in an unproductive manner, so I write this letter to offer an alternative solution to the problem . There Is no value In comparing the P .

mrroa To the Editor : Thursday is election day for student body president, social chairman, and student representatives to the campus hearing board. The student body has the grave responsibility of picking the best possible people for the above posts. Being a senior, I have seen three other similar elections. Unfortunately , the candidates were not elected because of their superior experience, or on the basis of new ideas they might have had on nmning student life al Tech. 'lbey were a1ways elected on the basis of their popularity. It's time for a change. Instead of voting for someone just because you might blow him ; read their articles in Newapeak, speak to them, find out what the various candidates stlnd for, and then pick the best one. Only by taking this election seriously can there be any real improvement in student life at Tech . Name Withheld Upon Request

-,ptrllul the Plan but an Ute sp1rit of my personal convu:uons I beheve that there should be a physical education requirement ror all undergraduate students at WPI w1lh the· major objective being to help each student develop hab1ts leadmg to a better per5onal interest tn his own phys1cal fit ness while at WPI and arter grad ua tion. I do not beht!ve, however, that the wa ys o f m eet ing the pres ent require ment satisfy what l con· sider to be the main objective of a P . E. r equirement nor do they represent a qualific a tion in physical fitness . I endorse mos t of the po1nts being developed in the WPI Physical Education Program as stated by Professor Pritchard in h.is article in the Newspeak of March 5, 1974, but the present requirement and the ways or satisfying it do little to bring out the merits of those points. A student can currently satisfy the P . E . requirement in a single year. What does that do ror him <her) during his other yean at WPI? When a student takes a course involving a life-time sport, what requirement must he meet to pass the course? Discussions with some students have led me to believe that some students chooee a particular life-time sport course <like recreational bowling> as the path of least resistance in satisfying the requirement. When WPI proclaims that a student qualifies for graduation after satisfying the P. E . requirement, what is he qualified to do? Can WPI certify anything at all about a person's physical fitness or athletic ability upon graduating? I offer the following ideas as food for thought and, hopefully, as groWldwork for a serious effort to examine the P . E . requirement in a meaningful manner. I propose that each student satisfy the P . E . requirement by meeting several objectives of his <her > own choice from a well thought out list or reasonable objectives. Examples will be · given below . This requirement should be repeated during each or the years a student is enrolled full time at WPI. An alternative way of satisfying the requirement for a given year would be ror the student to participate on a varsity, sub-vanity, or club intercollegiate sport team, adequate participation to be detennined by the team coach. Examples or possible objectives are listed below : 1. Run two miles in 16 minutes or
mintmum Squash . Handball . Bowhng, Golf. etc . 5. Finish m the upper half 01 competitors in a long dlst bicy<'IP race ISO miles or g rea 6 Finish m the upper half of mile road race. 7. Perform a prescribed set exer c1se feats lgy mnastJcs, Y etc. > · I am sure that the membtq the "Phys1cal Educalion ment could add many other jectives to the list. It mtght appear that my U. yery II objectives places Wldue em eams on winning . I do not feel candi winning is the most im ~tUde aspect of athletics, participe T My list only represents sugg peri~ anyway I sum up my feelU. referring to an article in pt t• Worct'Ster Standay T~&n• Govet a110 u April 8, 1973 with the h pLan I " MIT Stresses Sports B Not Quality" In which A Director Ross Smith states, offer athletica as a service to students.

Eric Hertz M) name is Er1c Hertz and I am very mterested in serving on our Campus Hearmg Board. I m•ght suggest before you read any further mme or any other candidates statements, that you pick up a copy of the Operational Catalog and read the Constitution of the Campus Jud1cial System , or which the Hearing Board is one of three branches, so that you m1ght better know to what kind of postlion you are electing us.
The only thing I feel I can realistically promise you is my honesty and sincere attempt at an unbiased opinion in any situation that may arise. I feel my experience as Student Government and Key Club President In h1gh school provides me good background to hold this position on the Hearing Board and to fulfill this promise. In these previous positions I dealt With faculty , administration, and the surrounding commun1ty on behalf of our student body at a time when our school system was begin· ning a dif£1cult transition of educational plans, somewhat like what is happening here at WPI. One thmg of extreme 1mportance to this Board is that the protection of the " rights of the individual" be high on the1i.st of ideas as I'm sure it is. I feel I can contribute a great deal to you and the WPI community working on our Campus Hearing Board and hope that when you are considering candidates for the job, you will vote for me. Eric Hertz.
JeremJ Jones The Campus Hearmg Board bas been, and is, a vital entity of WPI affairs, and as much demands a major effort on the part of its members to try to maintain an objective point of view. This tends to be generally impossible when judging cases concerning fellow students. If eJected to the Hearins Board, t do not promise to be objective in the performance of my job, u il ta an im~ible promise to keep. However, I will promise to make a positive effort to prevent personal emotions from clouding my judgment. I believe this to be an honest pledge and one which I will be able to complete.
William Rutter I am a candidate for the Campus Hearing Board. If elected, I will do my utmost to carry out the duties required of a member or the Campus Hearing Board, acting jusUy and tmbiaaedly in all of its proceedinp. Some of my activities include membenhip in Phi Gamma Delta, varsity baaketbaU, active participation in S.P.U.D. cStudent Prosrama Cor Urban Development> and the Associate Big Brother Procram. This fall I was fortunate in being able to spend terms A and B at The City University in London as part of our exchange program. Now that I've returned, I would like to become actively involved in atudeot government and I feel that the opportunity to be a member or the Campus Heartna Board iJ the best way for me to carry out this desire. Please give careful consideration to all or the candidates for all of the poaitions and don't forget to Vote on Thursday, March 14th. Best or luck to all the candidates.

7' 10, or 14 Weeks? On Thursday, February 17, the Curriculum Subcommittee on Term Length presented its report , summanzing there ults of the questionnaire filled out by students on Term C Registration Day. and a s1milar questionnaire circulated among the faculty . This report will be available on a lim1ted basis <with each R.A., at each fraternity. with the Commuter Advisor. and on reset'\le m the Library ), In essence, the repart recommends the adoption or three-ten week tnmesters, as agreed on by the four faculty members or the Sub· committee. The student member submitted a minority report, recommending that the present system be modified to allow more nexibility in presenting more fourteen week courses worth one-third, one-half, or two· thirds of a unit, depending on the course expectations. The trimester proposal is to be voted on April 4, the next Curriculum Committee meeting, and what is decuied will be presented to the faculty at their next meeting after that date. Some major points in the debate that ls shaping up is as follows : Cor ten weeks : it Is a compromise between semesters and terms; it would spread a course over more time with more class contact hours, while still having 12 COUI"SeS a year as the normal load. For 7-14 weeks : it allows more flexibility in scheduling (4 terms, not 3) ; ideal for full lime offcampus project work (if a major project continues to equal 3 courses); and it fils better with the Consortium, with graduate programs, and with exchange programs (City University in London ). Discussion and comments are welcome on this topic - the Curriculum Committee haa only wo active student members and the faculty would appreciate more student input. Any concerned student Is urged to read this report. Written commentl may be addressed to P .O. Box m; please feel free to contact Jobn Forster at 752-9581 for comments or an explanation of the report.

f Paul FredericU. ~------Open Dorm Meeti n~ by Bruce MlDsky The open dorm meeting held the Wedae last Wednesday peared to be a vocal match tween the Ellsworth· residents and the majority of freshman student body and upper claasmen. The major met dealt with the administr or tenure to the E-F residents. residents argued that they apartments and if a si situation arose off eampua present reaidenta of the apart would be given prefere Another araument was that the F residentl should be entitled some retribution due to the a of work they did to furnish apartments and get them "on feet".

The Ruaalan version of "Twelve Chairs" la the biggest disappointment of the Clnematech series so far this year. Il was too common and too long. The sight gags were similar to thoee of Charlie Chaplain's but without Chaplains humor. Three people, two on the aame side, go looldng for a fortune ln diamonds bidden away in one of 12 chain, and by the time the movie ends, the viewer does not care who got wbat. Durin8 the movie, towards the end, all I could do waa to wish there were only five chairs to find.
this is )OOf key 1o unprecedented calculating a.pacity. Only Hewleu-Padalrd offers it It Jets you "speak" to your calculator with total consistency, because it lets you load data Into a 4-Reglster Stack This means: ( 1) you always enter and process your data the same way, no matter what your problem; (2) you don't have to re-enter data; (3) you can see a// intermediate data anytime. Our HP-45 is one of two pre-programmed scientific pocket-sized computer calculators with this key. That's one reason it's the most pow· erful pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Here are three of many others: 1. It's pre-programmed to handle 44 arithmetic, trigonometric and logarithmic functions and data manipulation operations beyond the basic four ( +. -, x, +) 2. It lets you store nine constants 1n its nine Addressable M~mory Registers, and it g1ves you a "Last X" Register for error correct1on or multiple operations on the same number. 3 It displays up to 10 significant digits in either fixed-dec1mal or scientific notation and automat1catly positions the decimal point through· out its 200-decade range Our HP-35 is the other.lt handles 22 functions, has one Addressable Memory Register and also displays up to 10 dig1ts in either fixed-deer mal or scientific notation. It's the second most powerful pre-programrtted pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Both of these exceptional instruments are on display now. If you're looking for unprecedented calculating capac1ty for your money, by all means see and test them.

"Twelve Chairs" is a good fUm for children, if they can watch a movie for two hours and forty minutes, &ivlng tbe impression that that was who tbe movie was intended for. However, there were subUe digs at the reigning regime and the military, which suggests that the director put more lnto it. Unfortunately, the director put too much Into it. He included blackand-white sequences, cartoon sequences, trick photo(p'aphy, fast paced action, slow paced acUon and anything else technology could give him. These tricks are reminiscent or Friedkin'a selfadmitted potpourri of direction ideas seen in "The Night Tbey Raided Minsky's" . A good fUm editor may have helped this film a lot, but unfortunately, we were treated to the full range of teclmolosicaJ Lricks. tn the beginning, the movie shows signs of promise, but as each chair Is encountered and found lacking the diamonds, and the director, Leonid Gaida!, uses up his bag of Lricks, the film gets more tiresome. To save you from watching two hours of search and despair, I will give away the ending. One of three men finds the chair, but does not get the money. The diamonds were found by someone else and used to buy a clubhouse.

One dean commented that the whole thing was rather disap· pointing . the streakers came through, the secretaraes watched, and then for the most part went back to work. The secretaries did seem disappointed <judging from the reaclion), in spite of reports that the first floor was ready and lined up in the halls The most common reaction was that it all went by too fast or in the wrong direction. Two secretaries reportedly recognized one or more of the streakers. When asked how lsince they were all wearing ski masks or the like>, the only answer was "from their sneakers." Observant or them. '

Point &etters for WPI were John Pallt.sch In 2 individual events; Scott Wilson , Leo Letendre, John Palit.ach and John Dieten in the Medley Relay. Others that swam respectably but did not place were Alan lifl,hnel, Rick A.BeJtlne, BOb ' Komlch and Barry Livingston. Alan broke the WPI 500 yd . freestyle record; Bob broke the 200 yd. freestyle record in helping the 800 yd. freestyle relay break that relay record.

Basketball Championship this past week. The finals on Tuesday saw Lambda Chi, 8-0, during the regular season, come up against SAE, S-1, llurlng the season in a game that was marked by errant passes and sloppy p&ay. But it was an exciting game, one fitting the finals for a Wild IM 11110n. The aame was a close battle aU the way, and like several of the preceding playoff games, it came down to the last minute of play to decide the winner. With the clock showing 30 seconds, SAE bad a one point lead, and more important, they had the ball. But a errant pau out of llowds turned the ball over to LCA with 24 aeconds left. With 12 seconds ., the clock, Dave Rybacbi, a clutch man for LCA in all the playoffs, ,amped in a 20 footer and LCA was on top to stay. A technical foul sealed lilt victory and the championship, 42-40. To get to the playoffs, the final three teams came down to LCA, SAE, llld Kap. SAE received the bye and so, on Monday night, LCA played Kap lu rematch of their first tremendous game <LCA won the one by 1). In a IDe display of shooting, Alan Briggs led the Xap to a early lead only to see I drift away at the end of the first half. In the second hall, the Kap came • and scored 8 unanswered points to grab the lead, but LCA rudn 't ftak, In a tremendous team effort, they hung in there and just kept Clllting Kap's lead. They grabbed the lead in the last minute of play and a.g on to advance them into the finals versus SAE. The final score : LeA • · Kap 36. This year saw many consolation games played to decide the 2nd, 3rd, lb, 5th, and 6th places in the final stanrungs. On Monday FIJT defeated lie Cavaliers and SP defeated the Hawks. Tuesday FIJI played SP and .._ted them 42-32, to take 4th place. Wednesday SAE played KAP, and ita pme dominated by SAE In the first half and KAP in the second, SAE Wd on to win 41-40. Also on Wednesday, the Cavaliers defeated SP to hold 11 lo 5th place. The final stanrungs show LCA in first, SAE in second, KAO In third, M in fourth, CAVS in fifth , and SP in sixth. A special thanks should be given to Coach King and Coach Massuco lar their help in setting up the games; and a special thanks to Glen Frazier for aU the work he put into this basketball season. He scheduled Ill the games and was in charge of the referees, wbo I might add, did a IDe job, and Glen really put out this season for 1M Basketball, ao Glen, ~a lot. In closing, congratulations are in order to Lambda Chi on a weU W1led championship. When their big man, Alan Mikus was sidelined a leg Injury, they came through and won the championship, despite setback. Congratulations Lambda Chi. Also thanks to all who participated In this year's IM Basketball, we a.pe it was worth your while.

Allin aU the Varsity Swim Team swam quite weU this put weekend and in fact for most of the season. Achieving a rarity of a winning season for Tech team but not so rare for a Coach Petenon Swim Team. Highlighting the 7-5 winning season had to be the big win In the last dual meet of the seasoo against Tufts University. Goina Into the meet aa aUght underdogs, the mermen swam well and reaped . a victory in front of many fans who went out of their way to go down to the Boys' Club to watch a " home" meet. Again this year our inadequate swimming facllltles did not allow us to swim meets of our caliber at home. But even with these poor facilities the WPI Mennen swam hard and won.

1974 WPI Crew Schedule
Almost every WPI student has heard of the Crew Team, bul few have ever seen a racing boat up close or have been to a race. Thouunds of students go to basketball or football games, while at a large number of crew races there are sometimes more eon· testants on the water, rowing, than there are people watching and cheerinf(. Out of the thirteen rowing meets <or regattas ) that the WPI team is attending, only three are " home" meets <held on Lake Quin· slgamond). But these Regattas are fairly large and important with as many as fourteen lchools par· ticipating with over 50 boats racing throughout the day. We would like to see a reasonable number of WPI students attending these three meets and cheering the Tech oarsmt-n to victory. The WPI oarsmen have been working hard all winter and are currently lifting weights and running while waiting for the ice on Lake Quinsig to melt completely so that they can row . During the spring vacation , the Crew will not go home, but will stay at school and row twice a day in preparation for the excellent season ahead. We welcome students to come down to the lake to watch a practice be· tween 4 and 6:30p.m. during Term 0 and to get a close look at what rowing is about. 1£ anyone has · any questions about the Crew and-or Rowing in general, ask "Groucho", Box 1329.
