West Street strikes again!

Goddard oil spill by Crei'g Vickery tat week on March 2nd, West Street lddld another accident to its list. A homed!t/ittftrv type oil truck owned by Marr Oil Mrtumed at the intersection of West end Sllilburv streets after skidding down the ley road by Goddard Hall. They driver was not hurt, but was taken to the hospital as a piiCIUtion. A Marr Oil representative said thll the truck skidded down the road lideways as the driver attempted to turn anto Salisbury. The truck overturned when thl wheels hit the clear pavement of Sllilbury broadside. He also remarked that 1111 driver was "lucky he wasn't killed" blcluae If he had hit the triangle, the stone monument there might have gone through lhe passenger's side window and "he was tlwown over on that side." A negligible

amount of oil was spilled but the road was blocked off and the fire department called as a safeguard. The WPI ground crftW spread sand on the glazed road to prevent more accidents. The most astonishing aspect of this accident is that the road was not sanded by the City of Worcester. The City cannot possibly sand all of its roads at once, but certainly it can find time to sand such an 1mportant artery as West St., a road deemed so crucial by the city traffic engineer as to banish any thought of closing it. The driver of that truck Isn't the only one that was lucky. Every student and every driver that crosses West St. or uses Salisbury should be glad they were not In the path of that truck.

America: parting shots \

by JeH Sleeman It seems that there is no escape from the leY grasp of Woopie Tech.

But travelling out west in the States Wlln't quite the sun· soaked trip I thought it WOUld be. We got off to a good start by iledvenantly turning up at Niagra Falls in a lnowstorm at 2 o'clock in the morning, at \lthkh lime the tourist season Isn't exactly Ill full swing.

that time of day must be either loony or British (or both) We followed that up by a trip to the top of the Sears building in Chicago, neatly timed to coincide with one of the worst snowstorms in years. We couldn't even see the ground, let alone the panoramic views advertised. In fact, snow seemed destined to follow us all the way to Califorma. My illusions of Santa Fe as a sun-baked stagecoach pull-up were shattered as we drove in to be greeted by a howling bliz· zard, whipped by 50 mph winds. Swapping our sombreros for Yukon Jack hats and our ponchos for overcoats, we headed out to the Grand Canyon (needless to say liberally covered in snow). From there we struck on to Las Vegas then Death Valley, one of the hottest places in the world (though not at 5:00 in the morning 1n late December, I can assure you). Eventually the sunshine of southern California began to seep through, and there I was - a lifetime's ambition realized .

Thanks given

Collection a success by Mt1rio Wunderlich The students that make up the WPI Gu&temala Relief Group are very pleased to report to the WPI community that In 1ts three day Pffort in the Wedge and Daniels Hall it was able to collect $500.93, an amount that exceeds by far our wildest expectations. This grand total is made up by the contributions of hundreds of students and faculty, and by an extraordinary contribution donated by Theta Chi, which was totally unexpected but nonetheless very pleasant. By this medium we extend our appreciation to all those who helped us with

their contributions, and to Boynton Hall and the editors of Newspe11k for their full support toward the success of this cam· pa1gn. In subsequent editions of Newspeak we will keep our readers informed on how the Pan American Development Foundation is using your money to help rebuild. Guatemala.

1 To all those who are Interested in contributing at this time, you can do so at the office of Public Relations of Boynton Hall. Make your checks payable to the WPI Guatemala Relief Fund.

Preliminary conclusion

The Plan is working by Rory O'Connor This Is more or less tha initial conc1uston of Dr Karen Cohen, who hes been studying the Plan since 1972, under a grant from the National Science Foundation. The first part of a ten-year study was recently completed, with another six-year period to begin soon. Ms Cohun tegen working here four years ago when a search committee at WPI began looking for eiCternal people to evaluate the Plan and its effects on students and faculty. She was among those recommended to the search com· m1ttee and after Interviews was accepted. Her first contacts were with non-plan students, with whom she compared the plan students she eventually talked to. Each student and each faculty member were asked a fixed set of questions, and were allowed to elaborate on their feelings about the Plan. The general conclusion that was arrived at was that the Plan was working and doing a better job than the program it replaced at attaining its objectives.

There were some interesting particular conclusaons, also. In terms of competency, WPI under the plan continues to attract freshmen of the same academic caliber as before the plan was implemented. The quality of academic achievement has been as good or better than pre-plan days. The Plan ls also making people here more aware of their abilities and the possibilities for e)(pans1on into " non-traditional" areas of engineering . Students coming here do so more for the program offered than other people at comparison schools. Students here feet that WPI1s " broader. faster, more changrng, less stable, more hopeful", or in general more fluid than the comparison schools. Another interesting fact is that most students here seem to be concerned w1th working w1th 1deas, and are not as concerned about large incomes as are those It comparason schools.

Editorials: Hurrah (almost)!

Generosity It seems that the spirit of generosity has once again made its presence felt at WPI. While those who worked for the Guatemala fund drive felt that they had done much better than they dreamed, I maintain that they didn't do nearly as well as they should have. One Fraternity house contributed about 20 per cent of the total. If each undergraduate had contribut&d fifty cents they would have double what they do now. It is sad to think that so few could find it inside themselves to do without a couple of beers to help put some people back in their homes. I guess we all learn from our elders, though ... the accreditation committee walked right past the table (after a couple of "I gave at the office" jokes). Perhaps it is time to stop taking example and to set 11 . The problem isn't gone, and there's still time to help out. There always will. Rory J . O' Connor

On the Mass. primary All the people who went around with bumper stickers saying " Don't blame me, I'm from Massachuset1s," after the 1972 Presidential elec· tions have now got to get used to a new reputation for staunch con servatism. Forty per cent of the "active" Democratic voters in Massa chusetts' primary last week voted for either Henry Jackson or George Wallace. That is quite an about face from 1972. Whether there has been a subtle shift in popular opinion or the voters all happened to just (randomly?) choose these two candidates, is t.ard to tell. Whatever the case may be, I hope this year will be a repeat of four years ago when Massachusetts did not vote with the re~t of the coun1ry. My reasons for disliking Jackson stem from his foreign policy, especially concerning U.S. relations with Russia . I question the political awareness of a powerful person who tries to use that power to dictate another country's domestic policy. My reasons for disliking Wnllace stem from his opinions on racial discrimination. One may think that I am ignoring the good qualities of both candidates, however it IS the can didates themselves who have made such big issues out of foreign policy and racism and both candidates are vehement in their opinions conconcerning these issues. Foretgn policy and racial discrimmatton are issues which are too delicate and too important for the American people or the President to fool around wtth. I don't belteve either of these candidates can act responsibly or fairly in these areas. If anyone were to ask, "Now, if you don't like Jackson or Wallace, who do you like?" I would have to say that Jimmy Carter is the best candidate around to run this country tor the next four years. (That's what it means to be President, you know. Four years is a long time.) I won't go into the plusses and minuses of Carter here, (for information on Carter, yo~ can read Gary Davis' fine article on page 4 in this week's Newspeak), but I can say that I agree with him on nearly every issue, and I hope that in about four months I'll be able to say "Don't blame r.1e, I'm from Rhode Island." after R.I. voters show their support o f Carter and carry him to a runaway victory.

Something has finally been done at the intersection of West S and Institute Road , namely the installation of four-way stop signs at corners. I applaud this step by the City of Worcester, and the fact that they saw fit to patrol the area with police for some time the first days. While this is admirable, however, I still think it is not enough waited at the corner for five minutes last weekend and saw separate vehicles run the stop sign on Institute. While it is true t takes time for people to get used to such things, these people to take no notice whatever. Certainly, if the City admits that the tersection is dangerous enough to warrant four-way stop signs, service aides' car on a snowy day to prevent people from climbing West St. hill, then it would not be an unwarranted expense to electric signals there, or even to consider WPI's former pro close that section of West Street on which only the campus abuts? a very dangerous hill; there was almost a fatality on the Salisbury West Street last week and there certainly co uld be a real death is f oolish to take the chances with pedestrians' lives and those motorists as well for the sake of a street that is really not at all as portent as some people make it seem. It is time to take a perma definite step in this direction.

Letters: Sin, by any other name To the Ed1tors: II 11 an undeniable fact that man has not always been; his existence started at some def1ntte pomt of ttme m the past. However, th1s does not mean that th9re was nothing before man appeared m the scene. Where dtd he come from? If we really want to have a true knowledge of man and what good for his tole, it 1s absolutely necessary for us to first of all lind out where he came from This is because lhe reasonableness of any direction we choose for h1s life depends on how well we know how he got here. But the victim of modern existenual thought does not want to do this. Having lost h1s moorings on reality, he dnfts about in the dark sea of existentialism. In his unregenerate state, he is totally committed to self·gratification as the end of his betng. And bemg so selfish, he is intensely PfeJudiced against a benevolent God. Mr. Eric Zucker, in his well·written letter, published in the March 2 issue of NtiWspesk, admits that he does "not know whether this eanh is the creation of some supreme hand or the chance combmation of molecules". He then goes on to say that he does not care because he knows "that happtness Is possible on this eanh for rational men". Just imagine such words coming from the pen of somebody who proouses satisfying life to those who are wilhng to embrace his system of thought. Such a etate of m ind IS jult like that of somebody who wants to erect an imposing skyscraper without caring to take the foundation into serious conlideration. If this is the fruit of whet the cultured heethen means by retionality, then I do not hesitate to IIY that I lay no cleim to itt In a previous lett8f, Mr. Zucker 111d thet concern for onnelf " doa not entail a morel Judgement". But he now tiel morality to the necealty for men to meke choices. Does concern for oneeelf lespeclllly as expounded by Mr. Zucktlf) not involve making a choice? If it doee, then doa it now meen thet it entails a moral judgement7 By the way, Mr. Zucker teems to expr.a the belief that instinctive behavior Ia something found only In lower crNtu1111 like the ent, but not In man . .This Is obviouely false. Man doee exhibit instinctive behavior. For example, men's dalire to mete w1th the oppoeite se• ia purely in· stinctive.

I dod not say "respect, the pan, requires love, whole", as he would have us believe. essence of what I satd is that the love the B1ble calls for tnctudes respect, and anyone thinks that such love is wrong then he must necessarily respect to be wrong too, since the an mtegral pan of the former.

To the Ed1tors: would hke to clarify some of the points 1 made 1n the letter entitled " Pub Brutality." 0qe to a direct Involvement in one of the in(;identS mentioned, I know this letter tt~ns some good arguments, but there CO: lot more that needs to be pointed out. "(M current Pub manager is e81eblishing and enforcing with violence a policy of di1Qim1natlon against those whom he doelll't personally like. That Is, he ignores violltions of Pub rules by some people and aniMCel them beyond all reasonable limits on others. The result of this has been a Jlriet of incidents where he has physically anfOfced his will on several students whom he was hired to serve. By a series of ties to his superiors on the Pub board, he has rntde it appear that his actions are completelY reasonable. For example, he once lhrtW someone out of the Pub for a month for getting high. He has the authority to do such thulgS, but if you were there on .,.leUr talent night when it happened, you know there were 50 to 100 other people including everyone on the stage with this periOtl doing the same thing. He told them, when the matter was brought to their

attention, that this w as the only penoon he saw even though he first smelt the smoke some two hours before he caught someone. Even if this were true It still implies that he ;hirked his duty to protect the license which was jeopardized by the actions of several people besides the one he blamed for two hours of a cloud of smoke filling the Pub. This Is meant as an example since there are several other aimilar incldenta of discriminatory treatment. If this were all of the things that he has done to Tech students it would still be too much. While someone banned from the Pub haa no right to enter, the use of force is an entirely different situation no matter what reason Is given. This is not a Worcester Bar and the idea that violence is all that can be understood is absurd when applied to a college pub. I wish at this time to demand the removal of the present Pub manager. His actions against members of the WPI community are far more criminal than those of anyone he has carried on his crusades against. Chuck D' Ambra

Unwarranted force To the Editors: 1 would like to commend Paul Mcloughlin for speaking up In last week's Newspllk . This letter concerned dtacipllnary action taken by the rnell8glfllent of the Goat's Head Pub recently. My only criticism of his letter is t11et he describes such disciplinary action as wam~nted. I wish to cite one case in which It was not. A number of people, Including myself, were appalled at the Incidents of brutality invoMng the Pub Management and Raffi Holililn. However, since Raffi had been penn~~~~nrJybenned from the Pub previous to theM Incidents, we concentrated our efforts towards convincing him not to return there. Two weeks ago I witnessed an unwemntad infringem4\_nt upon the rights of a SIUdlrlt of WPI by the Pub Management. Appnntty, a friend of Raffi'1 , Charles Oltyfua, was being denied admiuion to the P1ib without raMOn being given. Realizing t1t1t Tom and God are not one and the -.; he entered. He was bodily r..-noved, or, to be more specific, he was huried through the dOOf'S onto the floor. If it were noc for the Intervention of one of the

bouncers, Tom Daley surely would have caused some blood to flow. After several minutes of debate, a reason for Mr. Dreyfus' removal was finally given. Accusations were made to the effect that Dreyfus procured a beer for Holllsian. The validity of this obviously trumped up accusation was proven by the readmittance of Dreyfus later that week against the wishes of Tom Daley. The condition attached to Dreyfus' readmittance was he is not to spreak to Ratti while in the Pub. Such an incident raises the question of the necessity of such actions on the part of a manager. I would like to know why Tom Daley decided to take the matter of Dreyfus' removal into his own hands. When Sargeant Joseph Campbell arrived on the scene, the commotion quickly subsided. I would like to commend Sgt. Campbell for his civilized handling of the matter, he prevented Chuck from reentering the Pub without the unneceuary element of violence exhibited by Daley. Ia Daley trying to change the atmosphere of the Goat's Hud Pub Into that of the Ale & Bun? Gillian M. Baker G. J . Pierce

Another view To the Editors: In lflV incident, there are as many verlionl of the story as there are witnesses.

That ia a known fact. I, as one of the en IOICIII of the rules of the Goats Head Pub,

WOUld like to give my version of the " Pub

llfutalitv Story."

Filii, however, some very important !acts about the Pub are publicly known, but not

well known among the student

body, One fact is that due to prior instances 11

the Pub, the Massachusetts State Liquor Association has threatened to put the Pub Und8! sorveillance. Many people get upset at the rule whtch we must enforce. Howe-..er, most peoplo don't realize the 1 1 11l1 ficat10ns 1f they aren't. The few rules of the Pub, due to the State of Massachusetts 1111 d tho admii11Stratlon. are thal the alcoholic bevernges sorved m thu Pub Under tho license rnay not he removed from 1he r>tem1sus, i.e. outs1de of the doors or the Pub. Also no alcoholic beverages other than thoc;c sarv1 t.1 tn the Pub. 1e. beer and Yllne, may be 111tuwed 1n the Pub If m· fratuons of thuse rules occur at ull. the Goats Head Pub would be dosed 1n· delinllely and llllfllCtllately Also 1f mariJUana IS smoked 10 or on the Pub PletniSes, WPI would not hesitate to close the Pub. Now as to our Pub brutality. The case m Which the particular offender IS m"olved is mote complex than most of the students realize The particular offender 1n question has caused trouble and problems 10 the Pub 00 more than four occasions Hts pub Pf•VIIeges were suspended for a per~od of 11flle afler each offent>e They ranged from a ¥o~eek, to a month, to the year, and mdeflmtely On lhese dtlferent occasions, he had broken the rulas and put us in danger

of closing on each occasion. He bodily assaulted the present manager of the Pub on one occasion; and after all these, his privileges to use the Pub were suspended indefinitely. This might seem unfair, but he was duty warned many times. The offender had tried to " push" his way into the Pub many times by physically harassing the enforcement staff. As to the mcident in question, the offender and his friend tried to physically assault the bouncers of the Pub. We enforced the rules of the Pub and protected ourselves. We have the right legally to remove an offender of the Pub in any way necessary. However, we controlled our use of th1s priv1lege. We don't enjoy pummeling our fellow students, but we don't apprectate getting scratched with fingernails and getting hodlly assaulted. As to the action that could pos!.ioly be taken against either us. or thp Puh •hsituatton 1s reversoq. '{'{£ ~~~!~ ~~~~ ~!~~ offender to court and pro:.ocute on more than one charge. We try to keep a peaceful and congemal atmosphere in th1s establishment, and we usually succeed. I restate ono thmg m clos1ng. Due to any one person's reckless actions, the Pub could be closed mde finitely. Keep thts 1n m 1d next time you go down to the 1-'ub tor a oeer anu dll tney can serve 1s soft dnnks. That would be your only alternative, that is 1f the Pub weren't closed completely. We bouncers are pa1d to prov1de a service. Without that service you would not have a place to unwmd and relax. Remember that next time we ask for an I. D. or ask you to lt:ave your drink down tn the Pub. We do it for you. MarkS. Etro

WPI award

To the Editors: Two weeks ago there was an article on the energy saving program at WPI. We would like to add that WPI was given a Merit Award in lighting and Thermal Operations by the Federal Energy Administration. During the period 7-73 to 6-74, WPI saved 31.98 per cent energy over the previous year, 7-72 to 6-73.

IFC Corner: KAP

by Stlfrk L111st week concluded one of the busiest times of the year with the end of help week and the election of the new house council. Already by far the largest fraternity on campus, the addition of 25 new brothers will only help to keep us on top. Of the new brothers, many possess outstanalng achievements; academically and athletically, both in high school and In the past two semesters here at WPI. Our new officers are: President - Robert Dolan Vice President - Rich Clapp Secretary - Brian Beliveau Treasurer - Dean Arvidson

Recently, the Board of Trustees of PKT awarded our chapter, "The Official Recognition and High Commendation Award" for the work done by the brothHS in the recolonization of our chapter at MIT this past fall. The brothers are also very proud of these accompliahmenta with the Big Brothers program in Worcester. One of the brothers is the first coflege student to be elected to the Board of Dlrectcn and the houM currently • 13 brothera active in the program. With the addition of many of the new brothers who are currently seeking membership In the Big Brothers Program, the number will soon be increased. I

Lambda Chi The C-term activities at Lambda Chi are now coming to an end. Last week, we Initiated 22 new brothers (19 freshmen and 3 sophomores). This large claea has brought our current list of active brothers up to seventy-seven. The brothers hope that they cen continue to get large associate member classes to expand our chapter. In intramural basketball it was a bad year and all three of our teams were eliminated from the playoffs. The house hockey t•m is doing well and looking forward to their game Wednesday against the Kap. This should be the strongest team we have faced this year. One asset to our athletic program at Lambda Chi is the representation on the WPI varsity team. Even though they had a losing record, the

What's teching? Massachusetts restdents to do anyth1ng, many WPI students are from states where the vote has yet to be taken. It IS not easy to label Carter by dumpmg h1m 1nto a simple category like "liberal." In fact. in a recent CBS·New York Times nation·wtde poll, 22 per cent thought Carter to be a conservative, 36 per cent thought he was a moderate. and 22 per cent thought he was liberal Whether it was the conservattves who thought he was liberal was not made clear, but whether he is liked or hated, clearly he IS a complex candidate Commg from a state next to Wallace, Caner has stressed throughout his cam· paign that he is a totally different person. He supports equal nghts, both for blacks and women (he whole-heartedly supports the ERA). Like almost every candidate other than Wallace, he favors decrimtnalization of pot. And he plans a ma1or reorganization of the feder~tl government. From the liberal point of view, there are several things about Carter which · are worrysome. Even if he shakes it off, Carter is from the deep south. He is highly religious, which many people find offputting. He has a strong military background. And, when his campaign started out, the major issue seemed to be peanut farming. Except for the religious issue, Carter seems to have revolted against his roots. He now favGrs a large cutback in defenae speudlng. And though lor maybe because) he is a nuclear engineer who spent several years aboard an atomic submarine, he does not favor continued nuclear research. He rather prefers the poaaibllltlea of aolar energy, and w11nts existing atomic plants to be carefully controlled. Possibly his biggest lsaue Is the reorganization of government. He reorganized Georgia's by combining. streamhntng, and eliminating most of the

Even though it seems as if we JUSt got a new president, it's already almost ume for another election. Republicans don't really have 100 much trouble makmg a selectton; th6re are only two candidates, and they have fairly different vtews, besides which there may be only one .. •thin a few weeks. Like 1972. though. the Democrats have to choo;;e between a good number of candida\es, many of whom have sim1lar or unclear views. The candidates range from a rather right Wallace to a left Harris with Jackson, Carter. and Udall in between (to name Just a few} The issue, to many, becomes not " who do I like best" but " who do I dislike least." Worse, we fear what mtght happen if "the other guy" w1ns. In selecting a candidate, it is important to consider not only if his views are tolerable bt.t whether he has a chance of winning. It might be more sensible to vote for a candidate that you like less than your favorite, but who has a better chance of winning over someone whom you greatly dislike. With th1s idea in mind, this week's "What's Teching" will study Jimmy Carter. Carter has surprised many people to the point of taking a closer look. From a nationally unknown JUst a few montha ago, he has risen to be a universally known, 1f n.:>t liked, candidate. While his showing las~ week in Massachusetts was rather poor, t>e has won tM two other states to hold elections and haa done well in most of the caucuses held in non-primary states. What doea this mean1 Are his views more acceptable to the American Public than the other ca.,ciidates7 And why is this of any concern, since the Mass. primary Ia already a thing of the past and Worcestorians can just sit back and watch the reat of the country? The issue of Carter is stiH important becauae he appears to have a good chance of winning and, while it Ia too late fOf

agenctes, and hopes to do the same thing to the federe~l government when elected." People didn't lose jobs through his maneuvers (he claims). and efficiency was greatly increased. One federal agency ~ ...me would like to soe abolished Is the CIA. Carter feels that it must be more tightly controlled, but that It has a vital function. In his words, 1t should ,be a source of information for policy makers, nOt a maker of policies. And he feels very strongly that the president must be accountable for the actions of the executive branch of government. If wrong· doings are discovered, the president must inform the people of them and take actions to correct them. Most of the Democratic candidates are weak on foreign policy. Carter Is no exception, but he does rave some ideas. like many, he feels that detente it important, but that the U.S. must be sure that it isn't getting the ehort end of the stick. While the Soviet Union needs our wheat, we could use some of its oil. On the tricky subject of the Middle East, though, Carter's position Is strong. He feels that the U.S. must guarantee Israel's right to exist, and that Israel must not give up territory without being guaranteed of security by the Soviet Union, the NATO countries, and the other Middle Eastern nations. He feels that the U.S. should not support or recognize a Paleatlnian state until the Palestinians recognize and guarantee aecurity to Israel. His poaition ia asking for a lot of guaranteeing, but it has more insight than many other liberala have shown. Carter does not favor the legalization of marijuana at this time, but rether favora decriminalization along the linea of Oregon's system. Carter is very strong on equal rights for women. His mother, at the age of 66, joined t,he Peece Corpa and apent _,.,.. VMfS In

India, an event which strongly influen~ him. He believes that women not only need to have greater opportunity, but must lll'llt the nght to equal pay tor equal work. In thla area, he feels that the enforcement of the laws ts as important as making them, 1M that the •aws must be strongly enforced. Carter does not personally favor abo!w tion, and would recommend h1s against it. He feels that nn•1· m••nn11nn adoption are better means of curTin......._ the problem, and he put family plannilli clinics in all 159 of Georgia's However, he feels that abortion ia women's right and does not favor amendment prohibiting it. Bussing is currently a crucial Issue Boston, and Carter would like to sea bussing system that was Atlanta considered in other places bussing is required. Under his plan, no can be bussed against his will, but student desiring bussing to increae tegration should be bussed at the expense. The economy II a rnajor iaaue, Carter. like moat Democrats, favora employment through the creation government joba. The government be better off spending ita money for ployment than for unemployment, welfare should be resented for t~ need it. He notes that especially among the young and the is currendy extremely low. Coming from extremely poor area of Georgia, he difference between the poor black and poor white, and wants to help them Is Carter the anawer to the problems, and will the country realize This is a question that only time, and can answer.

I con 't. from page 1I like to have a more diverse type of suf· ticiency. Ms. Cohen's work is far from over - she will spend the next f&W years tracing graduates through employmeht and Graduate schools to study the effect of the Plan once a student is no longer an undergraduate here. She is soliciting ideas from students at the present time as to areas they feel important. Her office Is Boynton 304. The comparison schools were Clarkson College of Technology and Stevens In· stitute of Technology.

However, as always, not everything about the Plan Is poaiti'Ve. The philoaphy of the plan it generally accepted as being fine, but the implementation of certain parts of tilt plan Is questionable. The Competency \examinationit the primary victim of doubt, bUt it is still in an experimental stage. The lOP is not really questioned, even though it is not strictly defined. The MOP is seen as a "grounding in one's own field" according to Ms. Coehn. Many people are unhappy with the sufficiency; it Ia seen aa a "dif· ferent" experience as opposed to the broadening experience, and many would

skeletons byCh•ron ·•Good morning gentlemen and thank ~for being here on such short notice. I clled you all here because we seem to hiVf 1 problem on our hands and I need hiP in its solution. But first let me give you ~ blckground information. 111 the spring of 1974 thirteen senior me~~~berS of our firm banded together to f«<ll a committee that was supposed to die all of our problems. They called ;.mse~ves "The thirteen Committee." 1111 committee then broke itself up Into ffi/IM sub-committees that poked their ,.,..Into all sorts of things. A few of their rrongs were even useful. In the Fall of 74 the Committee opened its membership to ~ buey·bodv who was Interested, mainly 1c1 the reason that all of the members of tile original Committee had retired the ~ spring. During the year that lolloWed, this new committee all but ~· There were occasional rumors dill it still existed. But theM were neither Q)llfifmed or denied. So by Spring of 76, we hid decided that whatever was left of "rhe Thirteen Committee" had died. Jlltullllv it was assumed that this was the ,..,.. of the fact that there were no more

problems to be resolved. Off the record, a collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the management levels of the firm. Then in the Company Guide that is handed out every year to new members of our corporate family, on page thirty (the page you all have copies ofl " The Thirteen Committee" made a new appearance. This "page" of Information sent tremors all through the company and all manner of mquiry appeart-d at my office. Needless to say I attempted to answer all questions. I tried to locate members of the committee so that I could give the correct answers. But I could not locate any of its " mem- · bers." They seem to have disappeared entirely. So gentlemen, the task I am assigning you is to find this committee, by whatever means necessary and once and for all put an end to it. One other word of caution, your activities will be secret and after this meeting I will have never heard of any of you. If any of your activities do become public knowledge, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Thank you and good-day.

Humanities project grants Washington, D.C. - The Youthgrants program of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEHI. making its eleventh series of competitiVe awards, wtll support ten more projects developed by young people around the nation. Or. Ronald S. Berman. Chairman of the Endowment, announced · he grants in Washmgton Now in its fourth year, the Youthgrants program was developed to encourage substantive work in the humanities by young persons. It has provided an opportunity for them to obtam Federal funds for protects similar to those conducted by experienced professionals. The enterprise of the over 100 provious Youthgrantees has yielded translations and archiving, indexing and..ediung accomplishments which have rendered new material usable to scholars; oral histories. film and photographic documentaries, and ar· chaeological preservation acttvities that have made Americans tn many commumttes more aware of their antecedents; and educational materials implemented by local schools, published in community newspapers, or carried by local broadcast media. Volumes on Revolutionary War mustc (to be pubhshed next year by the UniversttY of Illinois Press} and on the unto,tzation struggle of Appalachian coal mmers originated as Youthgrants, as drd such award·winf'ing films as " A Matter of Indifference" ton agingl and "Gypsies The Other Americans." Ovsr 300 prints of the Youthgrant-funded film "The Emerging Women" are in crrculation. A Youthgrantee's study of nineteenth century American folk artist Sheldon Peck has culminated rn a touring exhibit of Peck's works now being shown at New York's Whitney Museum. The following are examples of the projects recentlv funded:

A grant of $6,988 and an offer of up to $3,000 m gifts-and-matching funds have been made to Leland and Gray High School in Townshend, Vermont Fifteen students at the school are producing a 30-minute film called " Pendulum" about communityschool relations in a changing community. The film •s intended to offer some historical perspectives from which citizens, students, and educators can launch discussions ot the role of the local community in the future of public education. The students are studymg Vermont culture and customs and the history of American public education, particularly community-school disputes. They are also arranging community-school events tor example, discussions - which will be filmed. An· drew S. Field, a 21 -year old filmmaker and student at New York University, is directing the project. Stephen W . Plattner of St. Paul, Minnesota, will use a grant of $3,790 to prepare an exhib1t of Depression-era photographs from the Farm Security Administration. The 21 year old senior at Macalester College will select the prints from collectrons in the Library of Congress and at the University of Louisv1lle. He will then develop a multi·media exhibit, write descriptive brochures, publicize the exhibit, and conduct tours in the Macalester College Gallery during March, 1976 A grant of $2,518 will support Linda L. Layne, 19, of Los Angeles in examining the degree to which the present status, behavior, and values of Algerian women originated in the differing social climates of their adolescences. She will examine three groups: women who came of age during the last years of colonial rule; those who came of agt1 during the struggle for in· dependence, and those whose adolescence occurred dunng the present period of " Islamic Sociahsm."

She IS a Junior at the University of Southern California majoring in The Dynamics of Social Change. Edward Gray of New York City hat been awarded $9,396 to produce a half-hour 16mm color documentary film on AfroAmerican music featuring jazz drummer Elvm Jones. The film intended for a general audience w1ll •nclude interviews with Mr. Jones and with jazz musicologists. Scenes of Mr. Jones performing will be used in a visual analysis of the complex rhythms of jazz improvisation. Mr. Gray is a 25-year old professional filmmaker with an M.F.A. degree from New York University. Robert A . Griffith, 24, of DeSoto, Illinois,

Curdo wins WPI $600 by Hugh Boylsn For two days and one night (Sat. and Sun., Feb. 28th and 29thl Alden Memorial Auditorium became the battle field of one of the most intense wars this campus has ever seen. Over 130 people from all walks of life and various political Ideals joined together to fight it out to the death. The victors would return home to their families with weary smiles on their faces and money m therr pockets. The losers would go home las the Spartan heroes were returned home! on their shields. In this case, the "shields" were chessboards and the " battlefields" and " warriors" were chessboards and chessmen. During the last weekend in February the WPI $600 Open Chess Tournament was held rn Alden Hell. Some of the finest players in the Massachusetts area participated in the two-day competition. Players' USCF ratings ranged from under 1200 to over 2000. Highest rated player in the tournament was John Curdo, a master and one of the best players from the Worcester area and from WPI Due to the unexpected number of players entering the competition, the total prize money was raised from $600 to $720. Entry fee was $8 or $12, depending on time of entry. There were two sections in tha tournament: an Open section for the top half of the players and a Reserve section for the bottom half. A five-round Swiss system was used to determine the wmner. In this type of system, w1nners are matched against wmners and losers against losers, so each new round assures a more difficult opponent for the winners. The player with the hrghest score after five rounds of play wins the tournament. Rounds were started at 10:00 a.m.. 3:00 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. Saturday and 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Sunday. There were some surprises durrng the tw o- day c ompetiti on, but the least unaxpect&d event happened (as ex·

pectedl ). John Curdo won the whole with a perfect 5 point total. Although may make it seem like Curdo had an time 1his nearest competition posted 1 score) the decision was not final un11 won his fifth game in the final rouu ......opponent, Rlzzitano, a young player rating somewhere around 1600, had very well , going undefeated and u in the first four rounds, and was hopi"' an upset victory over Curdo but the beat him rather easily In the fifth rOIII& Curdo, however, did earn the prize manit he won, for he had to work very hard • was in trouble more than a few times In • early rounds Any visitor to Alden Hall during il tournament would have been im~ w1th the tense atmosphere which pr.,.,... throughout the weekend Plav. seemtngly at ease, would wander arcMf the hall to watch other games, know~~!~ that the next move they made could blil their downfall.

Worcester Art Museum: liThe Ear y Republic" The second of three major bicentennial hlbltlons at the Worcester Art Museum is ~he early Republic: Consolidation of RevoiUtlonary Goals." It is supported by a h from the Wyman·Gordon Company, ~orcester. It covers a dramatic half centurv In the nation's history from the ning of the Declaration of Independence 519 July 4, 1n6 to the date exactly 50 years 011 liter July 4, 1826, that saw the deaths of bOih.

A fully illustrated catalogue has been publilhed by the Museum written by MUieUm Registrar Stephen B. Jareckie, ' organizer of " The Early Republic." It is Milable at the Museum Shop, priced at t4.50 !members' price $4.051. The catalogue is similar in format to that of "TM Colonial Epoch" by Dagmar E. Aeuthnger, Curator of the Collection. The trio of bicentennial publications will be completed w1th " Art in the United States: the Second Fifty Years" by Timothy A . Rw. Assistant Curator, for the third

bicentennial exhibition September 24, 1976-January 23, 19n. In the catalogue, Mr. Jareckle writes: ''The artists (in the exhibition! were in effect carving out a fresh tradition In a new country; they worked to establish art forms in a political setting, where statesmen first defined their goals in the Declaration of Independence, then refined their goals by framing the Constitution and set out to make the new nation a power In the world. " The robust spirit of the artists is reflected in the subjects Included in the exhibition. The first works were created in a revolutionary environment while later works, more sophisticated in character, came from a period when the country asserted itself by meeting challenges from foreign nations on the high seas and by proving that the republic was viable and enduring." The show opens with a transitional figure, Winthrop Chandler, still working in the simplistic tradition of the colonial limner. It includes two notable Worcester County artists: Ralph Earl painted charming portraits of the young William Carpenter and his sister Mary Ann while studying in England, and later one of the first American landscapes in a scene near Worcester, "looking East from Denny Hill", while Edward Savage was a self-taught artist and entrepreneur who created the best-known likenesses of the first President. The expatriate Benjamin West worked in london, and conveyed European styles to many Americans who studied with him there, among them Washington Allston, Gilbert Stuart, Charles Willson Peale, Thomas Sully, John Trumbull, and James Earl, brother of Ralph, all represented in this exhibition. Visitors to "The Early Republic" Consolidation of Revolutionary Goals" will find a series of individual settings of charm and elegance in which major works of painting or graphic art are enhanced by appropriate. decorat•ve arts from the Federal period, such as furniture, silver, glass and porcelain. Highlights include a famous profile drawing of Thomas Jefferson by the French artist Charles Fevret de St. Memin, a noble likeness first owned by the third

President himself: Gilbert Stuart's lovely glowing portrait of " Mrs. Perez Morton" and his fine series of Worcester's eminent Salisbury family: three portraits by the gifted Danish artist, Christian Gullager, whose work is most completely represented in Worcester collections; a large, dramatic canvae, "Christ Healing the Sick" by Washington Allston illustrating the new interest in the Romantic movement, and a fine, small still life by James Peale in the Dutch manner; a lively and exquisitely embroidered picture of " libeny" done in 1804 by Mary Green after Savage's print of the same title; Chinese export porcelain; cut-glass tableware; a silver tea service by Ebenezer Moulton of Newburyport and a teapot and coffee pot by Paul Revere in his post-Revolutionary style. In conjunction with the exhibttion a

•special day-long symposium will be held Saturday, April24 from 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on " The Art and Culture of the Early Republic." Speakere will be Kathryn C. Buhler, Curator Emerita of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts: Jay E. Cantor, speciali5_! in 19th-century American art; Jonathan l .

by C. Johnson The WPI hockey team finished off its season th1s past week w1th a brilliant win over Assumption College 12-5. After a week start following the Christmas vacation. the team fmished strong with four straight wins over Clark (9-31, Worcester Jr., (5-31, Curry (4-3), and Assumption (12· 5). leading the team to its winning season. 7-6-1, was the superb goal scoring of Joe Menard. Unable to find the net so many times during the first half of the season, Menard exploded with 1 1 goals and 7 assists in the final four games including 3 hat tricks. Backed by AI Reggiri and Dave Blackstone, the awesome first lina matched that of any of the opponents. The moat Impressive wins of the season were over Worcester Jr. and Curry College. After taking a beating just three nights earlier to the same team, the Engineers took it to the strong Worcester Jr. squad. Trailing 3·1 after the first period, Greg O'Hallaran, AI Reggirf, and Joe Menard ell scored to put the score at 4-3. Menerd p\J1 the game away scoring once egeln after leaving the penalty box to up the lead to 53. The key to the win, however, was the magnificent goaltending of John Janas, n he shut the Worcester Jr. team out for the final two periods coming up with several key stops. Two nights later, the WPI hockey telm faced anothet' 3-1 deficit against Curry

College after the first period. Once again the troublesome threesome of Menard, Reggiri, and Blackstone went to work and again took a 4-3 lead. The excellent defense of Ed Shea, Bill Schoffield and Roger Perry along with the backchecking of Jim Leary, • Phil Scarrell, and Dave Freni lifted the team to a come-from-behind win. Once again John Janas played a fine game In net" turning away 37 shots. In the final game of the season, the entire WPI hockey team played all out. From the start the game was in control of the Engineers. Clean passing, fast breaking, and perfect stick handling seemed to stun the Assumption team. Mike Walker and Dave Femside each played offense and defense at the same time. Again Joe Menard got his already common hat trick but was outshined by the goal scoring of Blackstone, Searrell, Reggiri, Shea, Welker, and Fernside. The entire squad let everything go as they totally humlllated Assumption. Jim Muterty held the opponents to only five ~ coming up with some good uvea. The only drawback to the game, was the cheap play of the Assumption squad. As the game was coming to an end, both Ed Shea and Roger Perry took cheep hits thus resulting in serious injury. In the end, however, the victory was all WPI's as the scoreboard read 12-5. Next year's eeaaon lqoka even mont promising.

Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world's Arst scientific pocket calculator bade in 1972, and we've shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the Arst of oursecond generation. Both offeryou technology you probably won't And in competitive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations.

It's display is fully formatted, so you can choose between Axed decimal and sdentiAc notation. Our HP-25 does all that-and much, much more. It's programmable, which means it an solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes necessa·y to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10 digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things : ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and sec- for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them.
