of account information. The motionwas later tabled for discussion at thenext UA Council meeting.

Kessler has admitted to sendingcopies of transaction records of theVannevar Bush ' 16 Fund to TheTech, The Thistle, andCounterpoint. The $4,500 a yearfund is under the discretionary con-trol of the UAP. Recent controversyhas focused on the use of the fundby current UAP FHans C. Godfrev'93 and his recent predecessors.

In a joint resignation letter,Kessler, Juvkam-Wold, and Kirtleysaid they stepped down becausethey were "apologetic for giving theVannevar Bush '16 Fund transac-tion reports to the MIT campusnewspapers."

At an informal meeting of coun-cil members last Wednesday, Chita-

ley and UA Vice President Anne S.Tsao '94 expressed their disappoint-ment that Kessler had gone to thepress instead of approaching theUAC directly about his concernwith the Bush Fund.

As further reason for resignation,Kessler and the former officers saidthey believed the UA executive offi-cers were making a "coordinatedattempt to undermine the effective-ness of the Finance Board." TheFinboard leaders were concernedthat UA infighting has jeopardizedthe fund allocation process.

The officers' resignation comesat an important time for Finboard.The spring term budget compilationmeeting, where funding is allocatedto student groups for next term, iscoming up in the next few weeks.

Godfrey said that in light of the

recent events, he will ask the UACto postpone the budget meeting forone week so that Finboard can reor-ganize. No student groups will beinconvenienced by the Finboardproblems, according to both God-frey and Chitaley.

Argument over fund disclosureAt yesterday's executive cem-

mittee meeting, Chitaley chargedthat Kessler's actions were illeealand that he should be removed fromhis office. "I think [Kessler's]actions were despicable, duplici-tious, and dubious," said Chitaleyafter the meeting.

Chitaley argued that the BushFund is governed by the same rulesthat govern student association

Last night, Undergraduate Asso-ciation Finance Board Chair DavidJ. Kessler '94 and two Finboardofficers resigned from their posi-tions. Their resignation is the latestdevelopment in the controversy sur-rounding the UA President's use ofa discretionary fund and the disclo-sure of the fund's records to campuspublications.

The action by Kessler, FinboardVice Chair Per E. Juvkam-Wold'94, and Finboard Secretary JamesT. Kirtley Jr. G followed a meetingof the UA Executive Committeeyesterday afternoon. At the meetingUA Treasurer Raajnish A. Chitaley'95 made a motion to suspendKessler from his office for violatingUA rules governing the disclosure inboard, Page 9

Students DiscussSafety Patrol

By Lawrence K. ChangSTAFF REPORTER

The formation of a student escort and patrol service got under wayon Tuesday when the Graduate Student Council and the Undergradu-ate Association iheld an organizational meeting. About 20 t'o 30 peo-ple attended the meeting in the GSC Lounge at Walker Memorial.

GSC and UA student leaders presented their vision of the studentescort and patrol service to students and administrators, and solicitedstudent interest in forming a committee to oversee the developmentof the program.

Chief of Campus Police Anne P. Glavin expressed her support forthe implementation of the program, and discussed the role of theCampus Police in its relationship with the student-run service.

"if the program did nothing more than to make people feel bet-ter... that's extremely important," Glavin said. "People should beable to focus 100 percefit on why they are here, their education, andnot have to be afraid of going outside."

A brief discussion followed the meeting to raise student concernsand opinions, and the next meeting date was set to begin the draftingof the specific details of the program.

Faculty amass awards

The extensive list of awards andimpressive degrees earned by mem-bers of the music faculty is stillgrowxing. Every professor and loc-turer on staff has a busy profession-al life, whether his or her field beperformance, composition, orresearch. Assistant Professor MartinM. Marks, a musicologist specializ-ing in film music, is currently writ-ing a series of three books on theevolution of film music. He alsoplays the piano accompaniment tosilent films in area festivals.

In addition, the Aardvark JazzOrchestra, directed by LecturerMark S. Harvey, just recorded itsfirst CD, which is prominently dis-played among the new jzz releasesat Tower Records. Ziporyn recentlypurchased a Gainelan, an orchestraof traditional Balinese instrumentsthat is now the focus of a new per-formance group on campus and thatwill be incorporated into his worldmusic course.

Associate Professor Peter Child,whose compositions have wonacclaim from such organizations asTanglewood and the New England

The music department offers awide variety of unique opportunitiesfor undergraduates. This is partlybecause there is no graduate pro-gram to steal the attention of thevery talented faculty, and partlybecause the Institute is willing tostructure the curriculum around fac-ulty members' expertise, instead ofrequiring a strict, standard program.

What MIT students outside themusical community may not realizeis that the department's academiccurriculum is rich and rigorous, andis taught by a faculty that wouldmake any conservatory student jeal-ous. Consider a world music coursetaught by Lecturer George E. Ruck-ert, who studied in India with therenowned sarodist Ali Akbar Khan,or Assistant Professor EvanZiporyn, whose work in Balinesemusic earned him a Fullbright Fel-lowship in 1987.

This year's fundraising goal wasset at $40,000, above last year'sexceeded goal of $35,000. All fundswere solicited over the air, anddonors called in to make pledges.

'Our goal was $40,000, but[$37,000] is dam close and it was avery ambitious goal," Cochran said."It's more than we've ever raised inthe past," she said.

In the past, money has been usedto upgrade the studios, to buy CDplayers and to maintain turntablesand tape decks, said AngelynnGrant, host of Coffeetime, a Tues-day evening jazz program.

Walker Memorial BasementRadio (WMBR), 88.1 FM, collectednearly $37,000 during its annualfundraising drive that ended thisweek. The drive, which began lastThursday, was regarded as a suc-cess, according to station personnel.

The station, located appropriate-ly in Walker Memorial, receivesspace and utilities at no cost fromthe Institute, in addition to $15,000yearly to cover basic operatingexpenses. However, with a yearlybudget close to $60,000, thefundraiser is needed to meet the dif-ference.

Over 100 volunteers, includingstudents, alumni, and communitymembers, contribute to all aspectsof the station's management. About60 percent are students.

GOP Manipulation in JerseyCampaign Allegedly Confirmed

LOS ANGELES TIMES

NEW YORK

A co-chairman of the Black Ministers Council of New Jersey saidThursday that some clergyman have confirmed that they were offeredcash donations to cooperate in an effort to hold down the black voteby Republicans working to elect Christine Todd Whitman governor.

Owens, a Camden, N.J., minister, said that so far his group hadbeen able to confirm that attempts were made to enlist clergyman inthe northern part of New Jersey. Inquiries are continuing, he said.

The effort to suppress black voter turnout was first disclosed byEdward J. Rollins, Whitman's campaign manager, who later soughtto retract his statement.

Democrats have asked the U.S. Justice Department to conduct acriminal investigation for possible violations of the Voting RightsLaw. The New Jersey Democratic State Committee plans to go intofederal court next week, seeking to subpoena Rollins under oath.

At a breakfast in Washington with reporters earlier in the week,Rollins said Whitman's campaign had funneled about $500,000 in*',!k.i n oranrt Cone" tn hint- minictors and crme Democraticorganizers to suppress the turnout for Florio.

But a day later, Whitman's chief strategist denied he had ever saidit, declaring: "My remarks left the impression of something that wasnot true and did not occur."

WASHINGTON

Presideni Clinton spent his firstVeterans Day in office Thursdaypaying tribute to those who haveserved in the military and pluggingfor his heal-h-care-reform plan andthe North kmerican Free TradeAgreement.

First at a breakfast meeting with17 of the special-forces memberswho served in Somalia, then atArlington National Cemetery andfinally at a veterans hospital in WestVirginia, the president wove thehealth and trade themes into hisremarks at solemn ceremoniesmarking the 75th anniversary of theend of World War I.

Clinton twice sought to link themood of isolationism that followedthat conflict to what is happening inthe country today as Congressdebates the trade agreement. At thebreakfast meeting, Clinton saidAmericans must answer the samequestions that faced World War Iveterans: "To what extent mustAmerica engage with the rest of theworld? To what extent can we juststay home and mind our own busi-ness?"

Later at Arlington, Clinton posedthe question again, noting that withthe collapse of communism, a newgeneration is being asked "whetherwe will swell the global tide of free-dom by promoting democracy andopen world markets or neglect theduty of our leadership" by with-drawing.

After laying a wreath at theTomb of the Unknowns at Arling-ton, Clinton saluted the 17 ArmyRangers by hits side, saying theyplunged into a "terribly difficultfirefight" in Mogadishu on Oct. 3

Clinton socught to assure veteransthat their future health care wouldbe secure under the plan. "No vetcr-an in need of health care would everbe turned away from a VA hospitalif our plan became law," he toldthem.

The president did not addresswhether veterans hosptials in remotelocations will be able to survive inwhat is envisioned in the health planas a competitive environment. Hepraised Sen. John D. "Jay" Rocke-feller IV, D-W.Va., chairman of theSenate Veterans Affairs Committee,for his leadership of veterans issuesbut did not mention that last weekRockefeller had to cajole the admin-istration into assuring greater fund-ing for the VA hospitals under thehealth-care plan.

Thomas H. Weaver, director ofthe Martinsburg VA facility, said inan interview that he had no doubtabout the hospital's future. Veteransfrom as far away as Warrenton, Va.,and Cumberland, Md., would con-tinue to go to Martinsburg for healthcare, he said. The hospital operatesone outpatient clinic in Cumberlandand is planning a network of threeto five more at a cost of nearly S5million in order to compete with pri-vate health-care providers in thefour-state area it serves.

"We feel that there is going to bechange in health care," said Weaver."And, obviously, we're going to bepart of that change."

after a U.S. helicopter was downedin a raid on a Somalian gang sus-pected of killing members of a U.N.peacekeeping force. Eighteen Amer-ican troops died in that fight becausethey wanted to avoid leaving thebody of a wounded colleaguebehind, the president said.

"I want you to let them knowthat we know that they did theirmission well and we are proud ofthem," Clinton said in leading astanding ovation for the soldiers.

An hour later, Clinton flew toMartinsburg, W.Va., to visit a veter-ans hospital. The 950-bed facility isa hospital that "any Americanwould be proud to be a part of, towork in, or be a patient in," thepresident told a gathering of patientsand hospital workers.

With its 1,168 employees and its$70.6 million annual budget, the 9-year-old hospital is a VeteransAffairs Department showpiece and amajor economic power in Martins-burg.

But the hospital, which last yeartreated 4,655 veterans as inpatients,faces a new, uncertain future underClinton's proposal to reform healthcare. If Congress approves Clinton'splan, the VA hospital would, for thefirst time, compete directly with thearea's two private hospitals forpatients because veterans could joinprivate health-care alliances insteadof the one offered by the VA hospi-tal.

A top official in charge of security at Ukraine's nuclear power sta-tions has painted a picture of dangerously lax conditions and sloppystandards.

As a result, Anatoly Marushchak said in an interview Wednesday,thieves were able to walk out of the Chernobyl nuclear power stationwith two uranium-filled reactor control rods, officials discovered latelast month. "Our atomic power stations are not secure against theft,"he said.

Western nations have repeatedly expressed concern about safetyand policing standards in Eastern Europe's aging nuclear powerindustry. Marushchak's comments are likely to increase that concern.

The 3-yard-long zirconium rods and the 454 uranium pellets theycontain are valued locally at more than $1 million. "This looks likethe work of a specialist, someone who knows the price and value ofthe fuel rods," Marushchak said.

So far, however, smugglers have not been able to get hold ofweapons-grade uranium, according to William Potter, nuclearweapons control expert at the Institute of International Studies inMonterey, Calif.

Ultraviolet Ray Increase LinkedTo Ozone Depletion

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Measuring radiation over a heavily populated region, Canadianscientists have made a compelling case that links a significantincrease in harmful ultraviolet radiation over the past four years tothe depletion of the ozone layer.

Scientists Jim Kerr and C.T. McE!roy reported Thursday in thejournal Science that, from 1989 through 1993, ultraviolet radiationover Toronto rose by 5.3 percent every winter, when the ozone layeris thinnest, and by nearly 2 percent every summer, when ultravioletrays are most intense.

"We saw large increases in ozone depletion and large increases inultraviolet radiation over the same period," said Kerr, who headsozone research and monitoring at Environment Canada, a govern-ment agency that overseas the country's weather service. "Before, wedidn't have long records (measuring) ultraviolet radiation. This is thefirst link which attributes it directly to ozone."

The study, however, notes that the radiation may not continue toincrease at such a rapid pace because the ozone layer could begin aslow healing process by the end of the decade. The scientists alsospeculated that the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philipinesmay have contributed to the recent ozone loss.

How hot is Howard Stern? Too hot to handle, at least in Caldor,the big discount chain.

Fearing that many of its customers would complain about theshock jock's best-selling book, "Private Parts," Caldor is refusing tosell the 446-page monologue/memoir that's topping The New YorkTimes best-seller list.

But Caldor also went a step further - it removed the tract fromits in-store posting of hot books, which is based on the Times' rank-ing, a highly unusual move that angered the newspaper and the authorand forced the retailer to make an embarrassed apology.

"If you told me when I wrote this book that it would be banned bysome stores, I would not have been surprised," Stern said Thursdayin a statement. "But to change The New York Times best-seller list toexpress your critical opinion is the work of meaner minds than mine"

Caldor was contrite about altering the list. "It was a mistake andit's been corrected," Caldor President Marc Balmuth said.

"It was done at a lower level of management and as soon as weheard of it, we changed ... (the list) back."

That soothed the angry Times."There are no circumstances under which we ever allow The New

York Times to be altered," said the paper's spokeswoman. A lawsuit.however, is not being contemplated because Caldor Thursdayremoved the altered list from its stores.

President Clinton has rejected an appeal from Capitol Hill to inter-vene with the British government to head off operation of a contro-versial new plant that will produce plutonium for use in nuclearpower plants.

The United States has for many years opposed the use of plutoni-um for civilian purposes, but Clinton said in an Oct. 20 letter to mem-bers of Congress that he would not try to persuade other countries tofollow the same course. Doing so, he wrote, would "lead to con-frontation with Russia and our allies," including Britain, which favorthe use of plutonium as an energy source.

He rejected the request from 33 House members, mostly Dcmoc-rats, that he try to block operation of a commercial plutonium produc-tion factory in Britain known as the Thermal Oxide ReproccssingPlant, or THORP.

In a Sept. 27 speech at the United Nations, Clinton called for aworldwide treaty to ban the production of plutonium for weapons.The United States has already halted plutonium production, and withwarhead stockpiles shrinking because of arms-reduction agreementshas no plans to produce any more.

But nuclear scientists and arms-control specialists say there is noreal distinction between plutonium intended to generate energy andplutonium destined for use in explosive warheads.

The Air Force has told TRW and Lockhed that it will end the$13.3 billion program for a new satellite system to warn of a ballisticmissile attack, marking the first major cancellation of a military spaceprogram since the end of the Cold War.

The demise of the program - known as the Follow-on EarlyWarning System, or FEWS - came in a private meeting last weekwhen Undersecretary of Defense John Deutch ordered senior AirForce officials to end the effort, according to an internal Air Forcememo obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

The spacecraft industry, meanwhile, is mounting an effort toreverse the decision, and some senior Air Force officials oppose thedecision as well.

Maj. Gen. Garry Schnelzer, the Air Force's senior space acquisi-tion official, told Deutch during last week's meeting that FEWSshould be preserved. But Deutch cut off any further debate, saying:"Let me start over. ... FEWS is zero," according to the memo.

The cancellation signals in graphic terms the Pentagon's reluc-tance to support high-cost space systems that have borne little of thebrunt of defense spending cuts so far.

ther, although the social and legal definitionsof harassment are connected to discriminationand inequality, these are largely absent tfromtthe current guide. Harassment is reduced to"offensive behavior" and the offenders aremostly characterized as ignorant- peoplewho will be very willing to change theirbehavior once informed. This emphasis onignorance and offensiveness leads to the trivi-alization and minimization of harassment asan abuse of power.

One the key failings of the current systemis that because of the crushing power differen-tial in many harassment situations, some vic-tims are unable to fully avail themselves ofthe machinery that already exists and feelharassed by the system itself in pursuing acomplaint. As a result we believe that MITneeds a professionally trained staff that willserve as advocates for victims of harassmentand help to guide people through all stages ofthe harassment process. This staff would alsobe responsible for education, training, andcontinued development of the policies andprocedures.

In addition we suggest creating the equiva-lent of the Committee on Discipline for.harassment complaints. A standing committeewould ensure some consistency from case tocase, and would not be dominated by one per-son's biases or views. Associate ProvostSamuel J. Keyser has strongly objected to thisidea. It also appears that high level adminis-trators and faculty are very reluctant to bejudged by anyone who is not one of their own.

A final point is one of reporting and statis-tical tracking of harassment complaints, whichis central to stopping repeat offenders. Theguide repeatedly mentions reporting but pro-vides no coherent statement on what specificinformation will be gathered, and what will bedone with it. It emphasizes that privacy willbe preserved in informal approaches to harass-ment since no records are kept, but why notkeep records without names and still trackimportant information? Names of the accusedand/or the complainant could be optional, butstrongly encouraged, and perhaps victimscould specify a time after which their com-plaint could be used to substantiate a patternof harassment. In addition, perhaps accuratestatistics of harassment at MIT would breakthrough some people's denial about the seri-ousness of this issue.

coverage in The Tech, the actions of some 20students should not be assumed to reflect theviews of the student body as a whole. Webelieve that the handbook is actually a valu-able resource and a good step in dealing withharassment at MIT.

This handbook, "Dealing with Harassmentat MIT," attempts to address the issue ofharassment at MIT. Harassment is not a jok-ing matter. Not only does it happen with sig-nificant frequency, but nobody who is beingharassed really knows how to respond. On apersonal note, there were two instances thissummer in which we were approached by realpeople dealing with harassment here at MIT.Harassment primarily concerns offensivebehavior, not offensive speech alone, and it isa very touchy and complicated issue.

Oh yes, it is easy to criticize. Those com-plaining about "free speech" issues are wor-ried that the guidebook goes so far in protect-ing people from harassment that it endangersthe rights of others. Others, anticipating thepublication of this handbook, were worriedthat the guide wouldn't go far enough in deal-ing with this issue. As founders of the speechand debate teams here at MIT, we instinctive-ly recognize the need to periodically reaffirmour rights to express ourselves without penal-ty. And when we take a look at the problemson campus today, we find that freedom ofspeech issues are much less of a problem thaninstances of harassment. That the MIT admin-istration should take up this topic is com-mendable. That they should be willing to putinto writing, "What to do if you are harassedor accused of harassing another person?"-- iscaring. This guidebook would have been veryhelpful this summer.

This guidebook has merit. It is long, notbecause it is complicated, but because it isredundant. Issues ofthrassmnt are , vc; com-plex; what may be harassing to some may bedownright amusing to others, When peoplefrom widely varying backgrounds interactclosely, allowance needs to be made for dif-ferent attitudes. Because of this, there areoptions presented in the guidebook to helppeople with many types and degrees ofharassment. Redundancy in this handbook isimportant because, when we deal with a par-ticular case of harassment, the authors want usto find all the information that we need in afew pages. This is a guidebook, meant to bereferenced and not read trom cover to cover.

Harassment is a serious issue and attemptsto deal with it are easy to criticize. However,we believe that the administration's attempt todeal with this issue is valuable. Perhaps if theprotesters had thought about this, they wouldnot have tossed their guides into a fire after abrief skim. Burning these books is truiy aremarkable way to reaffirm our right toremain ignorant of the issues of harassment.

Early Retirement CouldReduce 400 PositionsIn recent weeks, the MIT community has

been notified of the impending deficit and thecutbacks needed to minimize future deficits.The projected cutback of 400 positions overfour years has many of the staff worried abouttheirjob security.

All of the recent articles have given us thesame predictions, but none has mentioned theobvious solution: early retirement options as ameans to reduce staff and payroll. I havecalled the Payroll and Personnel Departments,and have written to the Provost's office, in aneffort to determine if this is an upcomingoption, but so far have not been able to get adefinitive answer.

I believe if MIT were to offer a so-called"Golden Handshake," it would be able toreduce the staff by 400 or more positions in amuch shorter time span. State, federal, andprivate sectors have chosen this route, and ithas proven to be an effective way of reducingcosts.

Fairness ProblemsWith Harassrment Policy

We write both to applaud and to criticizethe most recent effort by the administration toclarify MIT's harassment policies and proce-dures. The new guide is a notable improve-ment over past efforts. One specific point thatwe felt would be very helpful was the pull-outresource chart, which offers an extensive listof people to contact who may be helpful atvarious stages of a complaint process.

Our central critique of the guide and amulti-access system in general is not that peo-ple shouldn't have many choices, but that theimplementation of the policies is unlikely tobe consistent, fair, and supportive of victims.Every supervisor will interpret the numerousvague passages in the guide to fit his or herown particular style and views, and it proba-bly will """; .,,> t,, ,, s1, '>> ' ......'

Fund is not, and never has been, part of stu-dent activitv fund-s Money is not being divert-ed away from any student activity. With thatin mind, and the fact that Hans is self-support-ing, I could not care less if he spent the moneyon an all-expense paid trip to Jamaica. I'mjust happy that he decides to spend the majori-ty of it on student projects that would other-wise go unfunded.

Why don't we focus on real issues thataffect the lives of our fellow students morethan the Bush Fund? Why can't a student feelsafe when walking across campus at night?How is the quality of teaching at MIT? Whatare these card reader things that are going onthe dorms? These are the kind of issues Hansfocuses on every day. So if he buys himselfdinner, good for him.

If people want to focus on sources of inef-ficient or "questionable" spending, find outhow much the Institute spends on renovatingoffices. Or how about how much money isspent on flowers for the President's house?That figure alone probably makes the BushFund pale in comparison.

Ron Peters '94

Everyone seemed to forget that I am alwaysavaihabie to talk about any issues relaied to thewelfare of MIT's undergraduates, and if Ihave not conveyed as such, I am truly sorry.From now on though, if any of you have ques-tions or concerns on any issues, please stop bythe office, write e-mail, or call and I would bemore tham happy to talk.

Now for the people behind this imbroglio,and what it means for the future. I can onlysay the following: Ignore everything thatyou've seen in print about this issue. The factsof the matter have become so convoluted thatit's hard to distinguish them from fiction. Iwill say that there are several investigationsgoing on both internal and external to the UAgovernment about the appropriateness andlegality of certain individuals actions (not meif you're wondering) and reports will beissued in due course. I (and probably TheTech) will keep you posted on any furtheractions in this matter, but I do not feel that itis proper for me to malign others as theymaligned me.

Despite the personal effect this issue hashad on me, my main concern lies in the effectit might have on the student body and studentactivities. The information on the Bush Trustis kept in the same database as the studentactivities accounts. Unfortunately, each groupkeeping an account with the UA or the Dean'sOffice must now question whether or not itsinformation is safe from similar manipulation.I can not answer that question for the studentgroups, but I urge them to speak with DeanSmith or me if they are afraid that this mayhappen.

I am also afraid that people who don't careabout the student body will now run for officein order to get their hands on the Bush Trust(even though it really isn't worth it). I'm nottoo concerned, though, because I think thatthis type of unsavory character will usually beeliminated during the election process.

I urge each of you to keep an open mindwhen you read anything in any paper. Every-one has an agenda of some sort, and his inter-ests are usually not your interests. In the finalanalysis, I believe this situation has led to apositive result: The student body is now moreaware of my existence, and will hopefully feelmore comfortable in approaching me and my

successors. I would like very much if you did.so in the Uays ah.ll 1%..

Hans C. Godfrey '93Undergraduate Association President

UAP Deserves Free UseOf Bush Fund

As an Undergraduate Association Councilmember and a brother of Kappa Sigma, I seeHans in and out of the UA office. He spendsso much time in the office that when I wakeup in the morning and I want to talk to Hans,my first impulse is to pick up the phone andcall the UA office. Ask anyone who lives atKappa Sig, "Where's HEans?" You'll get thesame response, "I don't know. Probably theUA office."

So should Hans have personal control over$4,000? My answer is that four grand is notenough for the amount of work that he putsinto his job. If the UAP received an officialsalary, I might have a problem with it, but theUAP doesn't, so i don't. The student bodypresident of Northeastern gets full tuition anda $500 per month stipend.

OPINION

Bush Fund BrouhahaObscures Issue

Now that both The Thistle and The Techhave exhaustively covered the story of thebeleaguered Vannevar Bush Trust, I believe itis the right time to cut through the misinfor-mation, and give you my perspective.

The critical donor document of the BushTrust says: "without accountability." It saysthat no one, not the president of MIT, not theundergraduate or graduate student bodies ofMIT, is supposed to have any say in how thisfund is spent. I agree that everyone shouldknow about the existence of the ftnd; but howthe fund is spent is between the Ondergradu-ate Association president, MIT (throughArthur C. Smith, dean for undergraduate edu-cation and student affairs), and VannevarBush, who did all his talking forty years ago.

People complain that the UA has staged acover-up concerning the Bush Trust, and thatit should have done this or that. As far as Iknow, no UA president has ever given muchthought to the matter. Although $4,500 mayseem like a good chunk of money, it's nothingcompared to the money that various deans,officials, and departments have in discre-tionary funding. I'm more than happy to sitdown with students and student groups to findthem sources of funding if none are apparent-ly available (I do that on a daily basisalready); up to this point I've always beenable to squeeze a couple of bills here andthere out of MIT.

Before I lay the matter to rest, I want to dotwo things: first, apologize to the students forallowing this matter to take up too much oftheir time with unsightly drivel; and second,chastise some people and give some advice tothe undergraduate student body.

First, I make no apology for using some ofthe money to pay my house bill. It was notonly legal, it was appropriate because I wouldnot be able to stay at MIT, because of finan-cial constraints; then, I would not be able toperform my duties as UA president since Iwouldn't be a student. However, I do apolo-gize to the students because this whole situa-tion was sensationalist garbage that wasspecifically meant to harm certain people.

Even with prestigious faculty,the music department lacks anadvanced degree programn. Therehas been talk of one, but opinionsare mixed on the issue. Harvey saidthat more in-depth teaching wouldgive him new ideas for his ownwork. Another professor thinks

Others oppose the idea, claimingit would destroy the heart of whatIarbison calls "an exceptional

Harbison, who has beenhere since 1969, said that MIT ingeneral has become a part of themainstream, which is more interest-ed in standardization than innova-tion. But Child said that the depart-ment is not headed in this direction.

When Lecturer Corley came toM IT in 1948, he wondered if he wasdoing the right thing. He had beeninvited here by Klaus Liepmann,then Director of Music, to fill a needfor a greater variety of performanceopportunities on campus. Corleyattended a Wednesday eveningrehearsal of the concert band, whicha student was conducting at thetime, and was so impressed by thequality of the repertoire and theenthusiasm of the students that hetook charge of the group that verynight. His acceptance of a positionas part-time instructor increased thenumber of the music faculty tothree, only two of them full-time.

The formal music program hadbegun just one year before, whenLiepmann becarne the first professorof music at the Institute. Prior tothat time, students had been forcedto take musical matters into theirown hands, and although there wasno official academic recognition oftheir efforts, the Institute enjoyed asurprisingly rich, if turbulent, musi-cal tradition. A variety of clubssprang from students' creativity.

She pointed to last year's crime asstimulus for greater student concernfor campus safety.

GSC President Caryl B. BrownG pointed to the Boston CollegeStudent Walking Patrol Service as amodel. He summarized a report thatsaid the program has marketingvalue for parents and students, addsto the efficiency of BC's equivalentof MIT's A Safe Ride, and is "a ral-lying cry to fight back [againstcrime]." The BC program also pro-vides employment opportunities forstudents.

The BC program costs less than$50,000 per year. There are 21 stu-dents involved, and the programruns from 7 p.m. to 2 a.n1. The pro-gram initially operated on a trial

basis, running on Thursday, Frideand Saturday nights. The prograrnsuccess has allowed it to expand.

On Jan. 28, 1993, the GSC coducted a campus safety poll oil 9students. Results showed that I1students out of the students suveyed, 13 percent, would volunte"to monitor the corridors of the acdernic buildings at night."

Source of funding uncertain

UA President Hans C. Godfr.-'93, said that no funding is availa'rat the moment for the student esccand patrol program. He suggest-that volunteer groups could workestablish the program, Upon its sucess, the program could seek fun-ing from the UA and GSC.

Others felt that if the prograwas successful on a voluntary bas-.it would be unable to obtain fundir,in the future. Students suggest!that the funding could come frodiverse private sources, and thtsimilarly be turned over to the Ins.tute upon the program's success.

The students that attended t--meeting recognized financi;restraints as a significant factor T.

the program's future. But as wievery other aspect of the service, t'funding possibilities are still ovifor discussion, for nothling has be,set.

Baker was happy with Tuesda--meeting '"I am really pleased wlthe turnout. People are enthusiast'and I have really big hopes that vcan pull this together," he said.

The specific details of the pr-gram will be discussed further at t--next rneeting, at 6 p.m. Nov. 23the GSC Lounge at Walker.

communications, uniforms (onesthat the students would select), andequipment.

Student escort/patrollers wouldface very low risks of harm them-selves, based upon similar programson other college campuses, accord-ing to Glavin.

Although a similar program hasnever been attempted here at MIT,the programs are not new, Glavinsaid. Colleges across the nation,including universities in the area,already have these programs. Glavinspeculated that the reason MIT hadnever established such a program inthe past could have been the resultof MIT's intense academic pressure.

Patrol, from Page I that the student positions would notub onet;s of law en 'Iiocmirct aridconfrontation, but ones of observa-tion and deterrence.

The patrollers will be in directcontact with the Campus Policethrough walkie-talkies, acting onlyas "eyes and ears." According toGlavin, the visibility of the studentpatrollers and the sense of securitythat they.would instill in studentsare significant reasons for imple-menting the program.

Glavin also said that the commu-nity must work with the police,because there is a limit to what thepolice can do by themselves. Shesaid that people often becomedesensitized by Campus Policeurges for safety measures, and thatthis organization is especiallyimportant because it comes from thestudents.

She said that the Campus Police

safely around campus at night.Baker said many MIT students arewary of walking by themselves atlate hours. Others mentioned thatthe program will be ideal for thosewho are reluctant to call the CampusPolice or friends to walk themhome.

Students can obtain escorts bycalling a dispatcher who will thencontact a patroller in the vicinity ofthe student. Also, students candirectly obtain escorts by merelyapproaching them.

The student escorts would patrolthe interior of the Institute, watchingfor suspicious activity, according toBaker. With students patrollinginside, the Campus Police can befree to allocate more tirc to patrolthe exterior of the buildings.

London Records, L'Oiseau-Lyre, 433 848-2.

By Jonathan RichmondADV'ISORi'BO A R

recording, pianist Gerald Moore.All the songs in this collection are con-

nectcd with water, and Ainslcy continues hisrecital with a gentle and touching rendition ofthe song Am Strome ("Beside the River"),Lubin providing a sensitive lullaby-likeaccompaniment which highlights the pathos.

Auf dem S'ee ("'On the Lake") is taken a lit-tle too slackly for my taste. but the ensuing"Erlafsee" calls for a relaxed pace and isbeautifully colored by Ainsley, whose reflec-tive singing goes to the heart of both musicand text. An Eine Quelle, ("To a Spring") alove song, is sung romantically, while thelonging in the lover's voice comes throughpoignantly in the next song, Der Jiingling amBache ("The Young Man Beside the Brook"),not only in Ainsley's singing, but in Lubin'squite rhapsodic accompaniment. The recitalends wit'h Der Schiffer ("Thte Oarsman"),vividly sung and tightly accompanied onpiano.

It seems tiiat Steve Lubin has recentlybecomne quite 'hooked on fish: Hle's also writ-ing an epic poem for children about a recalci-trant young fish called Gish who runs awayfrorn his "school:"

Forr an hour or so he swtam along,Sang hzimselg a happy soltg.

Gish's song was by Schubert, no doubt.Given all his recent delvings into metafishics,(the term is Lubin's!), I inquired if Lubin eatsfish. The news is that he does. But you don'tneed to think of that as you enjoy his terrificnew CD, a recording guaranteed to make youfeel decidedly happy. Go buy it!

LubiLn plys anr R. J. Re,-gier fortepnano

based on a Conrad Graf of around 1824, andthe focused sound of each note penetratingthrough (shut off more rapidly than on a mod-emn piano which can blur intricate passage-work with its longer sound decay times)heightens the sense of inventiveness anddrama inherent in Schubert's music. The rela-tionship between strings and piano worksespecially well, the fish-faced piano tran-scending the rapids of turbulent-but-always-graceful strings.

If the frenetic side of the first movement ispowerfully drawn, the legato of the Andanteprovides a beautiful - and touching -response. Piano playing here is unmannered

but nuanced, strings evoking a heartbeat to

carry the keyboard aloft. There's great drive

to the third movement. Terriic hnigtl-iciissi-i

violin work by Simon Standage and deep-

voiced double bass thrusts from Amanda

MlacNarnara highlight the percussive har-

monies thrown out by Lubin.

The famous variations movement opens

with a dance-like statement of the main theme

of elegance and serenity. We're taken on a

gondola ride, gently rippling down a canal.

And then Lubin enters, cast in the role of the

lead fish: a playful carefree fish at first, then a

more worried, introspective beast as the varia-

tions darken (one may surmise that, as in the

song inspiring the movement, the fish is in the

process of discovering the concept of the fish-

erman). The movement ends on an especially

happy note, Lubin and crew having ensured

that on this occasion the fish does not become

fillet. The warmth and buoyancy of the strings

focuses on the piano's pure delight, making

for a chamber experience of intimacy thatadds up to the elusive whole-greater-than-the-sum-of-the-parts.

Tensions fly as the Allegro giusto boringsthe work to a close, but humor is never faraway, game-like exchanges between stringsand piano adding many a felicitous touch.This is a winning recording which everyonewill want to have.

- 02 Ping familiar with the singing of Diet-rich Fisher-Dieskau, the world's mostesteemed exponent of Schubert lied,can make it problematic to listen to

anyone else singing his trademark repertoire.Fisher-Dieskau can make color leap fromevery word, and his every tone is rapture. Soperhaps I committed a particularly iniquitoussin "y playing -..,y rccordin., of DFn singingDlie Forelle before listening to the new one byJohn Mark Ainsley. Fisher-Dieskau's attack isvigorous, making the listener live the life-and death -of the fish. The opening is care-free, but then darkness descends as the fisher-man turns up. The finial verse opens with astring as the word "Doch" is held, and onefeels the fish expiring as Fisher-Dieskau singsof it dangling on the rod: As his voicedeflates, so too does the fish.

Ainsley doesn't begin as lightly as Fisher-Dieskau -I find his opening verse a tadheavy -- and doesn't find the powerful con-trasts DFD: so astonishingly fathoms. Ainsleyis certainly lyrical, but his drama is sup-pressed when compared to Fischer-Dieskau's.Lubin, perhaps taking his lead from thesinger, isn't quite as extrovert an accompanisthere as his counterpart in the Fischer-Dieskau

f you thought there was something ratherfishy about Steve Lubin's Trout, you'd beabsolutely right. His fingers leap andswing along in fishy vein, evoking pure

joy as they dive into the depths of Schubert'sserene music.

The new recording of Schubert's TroltQuintet by Lubin and the Academy of AncientMusic Chamber Ensemble is cleverly con-tained on the sanle disk as the song - DieForelle - upon which the famous Quintetvariations are based. Six other songs areincluded, too, with tenor John Mark AinsleyJoining Lubin to complete a delightful Schu-bertiade, such as might have taken place in ahome at Schubert's time.

The Quintet performance is a high-energyaffair, and is marked by a clarity and sharp-ness which grips, then enthralls, and continu-ously entertains. Witness the suspense of thefirst movement opening: It is driven by ananimation among strings, which is sharpenedby restraint. Leapfrogging merrily in the midstof the strings, Steve Lubin's piano - a clownon a journey through tragi-comedy - has acarefree spunkiness about it. Even the darkermoments are transmitted smilingly.

***'/z The Age of InnocenceThe film version of Edith Wharton's novel

homes in on of the conflict felt by NewlandArcher (DanieI Day-Lewis), who must bal-ance the rigid social code of 1870s New Yorkand his passion for Ellen Olenska (MichellePfeiffer). his fiancee's independent and Intel-lectual sister. Despite the Victorian setting,this is obviously the work of director MartinScorsese, who specializes in movies aboutpeople's struggles to make decisions. Thedirecting is meticulous and the sense ofauthenticity is impressive. The chemistrybetween Day-Lewis and Pfeiffer is also pow-erful, but the camera focuses on the internalstruggles of the two and thankfully avoids thetorrid sex scene typical of Hollywood movies.--Craig K. Chang. ioews Harvard Square

** Demolition ManAlthough the advertising for this film has

portrayed this film as primarily about a 21stcentury duel between a.cop and a criminalfrom the 20th century, the actual emphasis ofthis film lies elsewhere. It is the exploration ofthe futuristic society that dominates the film'sscreen tire and is one of the film's few suc-cess. In 1996, LAPD Sgt. John Spartan(Sylvester Stallone) and psychopathic crimi-

nal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are bothsentenced to a cryopenitentiary. When theyresurface in 2032, they resume the battlewhere they left off. Although this provides theplot for the Film, the actual emphasis is inexploring the futuristic, Orwellian society thewriters envisage, complete with a big brotherfigure in Mayor/Govenor Raymond Cocteau(Nigel Hawthorne). Cocteau's society isdevoid of social evils like violent crime andfoods high in cholesterol. This film features arather interesting virtual sex scene in place ofthe standard Hollywood fare, as well. Ulti-mately, however, Demolition Man is unsatis-fying. The lamne plot combined with the woe-fullly banal dialogue is only partially salvagedIby the clever picture of the 2 1st century. It isinteresting, but not all that exciting. -JoshuaAndresen. Loews Cinema 57

*** Cool RunningsBased on the true story of 1988 Jamaican

Bobsled Team, the film is actually quite enjoy-able despite its overused themes. StarringLeon (remember Madonna's "Like a Praiser"video?), Doug E. Doug, and John Candy, heefilm follows four Jamaican athletes and theircoach on an adventure from a sunny island tothe Calgary Winter Olympics. The underdogstory has its own unique scenario, and man-ages to pass as a sweet mixture of comedy andheart. --KC. Loews Copley Place

Fatal Instinct, stars Armand Assante, SeanYoung, Kate Nelligan, and Sherilyn Fenn. Thetitle is a clear spoof on Fatal Attraction andBasic Instinct, as are many other scenes andimages in the movie, but overall, these spoofsjust aren't funny. This movie could have beena killer. It had all the possibilities of a greatsatire of one of the easiest movie genre to sati-rize. But it's problem is that it tries to spooftoo many things and it causes the movie tolose a lot of its cohesion. Armand Assantedoes a good job in this movie, given what hehas to work with. The rest of the actors allmuddle in a pool of boring mediocrity. Shouldyou have the misfortune to actually see thismovie, then I'd suggest ignoring the maincharacters and looking trying to find the icecream scooper hidden in the picture. Sort oflike a Where's Waldo book. -PatrickMahoney. Loews Copley Place

*** FearlessDirector Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets

Society) does a masterful job of capturing theaudience in this story about the survivor of aplane crash. All the performances are superb,but Jeff Bridges (as Max, the survivor) turnsin a remarkable performance as a man whohas been reborn as the master of his fate; Maxbelieves that he has already passed throughdeath and has become invincible. IsabellaRossellini and Rosie Perez also star. Despite afew lapses of emotional restraint, Weir directswith assurance and makes good use of thecamera. In short, Fearless is an entertaining

and competiiig story.Copley Place

STmake you nappy. -rivl. itcrvw ,-,hurysee him as a man driven by a single desire in

life. Ned Beatty plays the groundskeeper whobefriends Rudy. Over time, the friendshipbetween the two of them grows. What adds alot of clout to this movie is the role of thecoach who transfers in from the Green BayPackers. He's a mean guy and doesn't reallycare how hard Rudy plays because the factremains that Rudy has no talent. The movie isinspirational, though; it shows that hard workcan make dreams come true. It's an overlysentimental movie, but that's okay. It's a storywith a happy ending, and sometimes happyendings are sappy. Much of the sentimentalitycan be explained because the movie is basedon a true story. All of the characters are devel-oped and there is plenty of substance to thefilm. The music score also succeeds in settingthe moments well throughout the film. On thewhole, this is an excellent film, right up therewith ".e Pait,, as and Fel,..of Dreams. ..Se i.

It williPlacethis action movie is that it has a creative plot

twist, not something that action films areknow for. -PM. LSC Sunday

*1/2 Robocop 3This third installment in the Robocop

series typifies the repulsive aspects of Holly-wood moviemaking, though it manages someenjoyable stunts and cute scene involving ayoung girl infiltrating a police armory. Other-wise, it is the same combination of maximumviolence on minimum plot. Robert Burke hastaken on Peter Weller's title role, and KarenAllen's character dies. -SD. Loews Cinema57

r*** The Scarlet PimpernelLeslie Howard stars in this 1934 film about

a Frenchman, Sir Percy Blakely, who risks hislife to save aristocrats from the French Revo-lution. Howard's performance is supreme,both humorous and convincing. He reallyplays his role as an overtly ditzy, yet secretlycunning, mastermind of the evacuation to per-fection. Definitely a movie to see, if not forHoward's performance, then for the excellentcostumes and scenery. -PM. LSC FridayClassic.

Meg Ryan as (surprise!) a slightly ditzyblonde and Tom Hanks as the widower shefalls for after hearing him on a late-night radiotalk show confessing his love for his deadwife. Ryan, realizing how perfectly empty herrelationship with her fiancee is, embarks on aquest to find Hanks, while Hanks' precociousson Jonah (Ross Malinger) pushes his fatherto answer the pile of love letters he's receivedafter the talk show stint ... and guess whoseletter Jonah most wants his father to answer?The movie is consistently funny in a low-key,inoffensive way, Hanks is adequate, Ryanisn't too annoying - but Nora Ephron'sscript ties every loose end so neatly thatthere's no room for unpredictability. -- Debo-rah A.

* **r Tim Burton's The NightmareBefore Christmas

The animation of this film is incredible, asare the characters, though sadly this level of

excellence is not matched in the writing or themusic. Set in a land where each holiday has itsown world, Nightmare gives the account ofJack Skellington, the leader of Halloween-town. Tired of exporting Halloween each yearto the "real" world, Jack decides instead tobring Christmas to everyone. His planincludes kidnapping "Sandy Claws" so that hehimself may deliver all the toys made for himby the ghouls and goblins in Halloweentown.Unfortunately, his good intentions do nottranslate into a successful Christmas. Themost striking feature of the film is the impec-cable animation. The movements of theextremely lank Skellington are impossiblysmooth as he dances across the screen. TimBurton's characters are what make this filmtruly entertaining, from the ebullient Skelling-ton to the nasty Oogie-Boogie (who wants toeat Santa Claus for dinner). Unfortunately, theplot lacks interesting twists, and the songslack originality. Despite the flaws, thisremains a fun film overall. -JA.

2. Confidence In our ability.

3. An expectation that many false starts may

be necessary.

4. Suimci.ent Immersion In the problem to

engage all our faculties.

5. A willingness to pursue solutions until a

breakthrough Is achieved.

6. Analysis of each attempt to aid In the

development of Insight.

In these cases where a task appears to

be routine, we may also need to Intention-

ally "spark" the creative process. We do this

simply by asking how the task can be done

better, Ifor "better" Implies a different ap-

proach, which in turn requires creativity.

There are, of course, other considerations.

Especially Important are the environment

within which we work and the caliber of our

associates. As edth every other part of the

problem solving process. Interaction 1Lth

capable assocliatcs can be an Important cata-

lyst. Ilowever, most Imnportant is Ihe awareness

that the foundations for crce3ltlty rest Inward

lOth our attltudes T'hls Includes a recgnllltion

that sulperlor creatlSty Is sornmcthingwue muist

Inlanscly desire and that success does not

occur without effort and many false starts.

During our education. we usually are

faced with solving problems that have two

characteristics: A) We know that a3 solution

exists. Bf) We know that the so!ut!lons can tbe

obtlalned with the techniqulles under stLiudy.

When we begin work, these conditlions

do not hold, and yet we face the challenge of

finding solutions. i w are aware of the

foundations of creatlivitly durring our edulcation

we can better prepare ourselves for this

challenge.

The purpose of education Is to develop

basic thinking skills and to obtain a basis of

knowledge In our chosen field. This providesthIe 1^un lad t Lv. fn 0 hlatn -vlm rhtint. 0 hlliAb ll!

Ibl ~LILU.l~lrlV lqVl ~IVVl'll.ill O~/VL*Ill~ UtJilI·Il~,

across a range of disciplines.

However. development of better solutions

to challenging problems requires dimensions

beyond basic thinking skills and knowledge of

the field; It requires creativity In conception

and In approach.The ability to be "creative" Is often

regarded with a sense of mystery and appre-

hension. Sometimes It Is considered the

exclusive purview of artists or others with the

"right aptitudes".

Of the many studies of creativity there Is

one common conclusion; If we give crcativity

enough attention. we get better at It. This

suggests that creativity Is a challenge like any

other, a "problem" to be solved. it also sug-

gests that, as with any other challenge, our

attitude towards It, our desire for a solution,

and our belief In the Intrinsic worth of the

task are the most Important Ingredients for

success.

The principle obstacle to achieving

creative breakthroughs is a premature con-

clusion that a better solution Is not possible.

For a "creative" solution Is by deflnition one

that Is different from those that have pre-

ceded it and one that often runs counter to

accepted knowledge.

To overcome this obstacle we need to add

to our basic thinking skills and technical

foundation the tollowlng elements of

attitude:1. A strong desire for a creative break-

through.
