-What is expected to bringBryant to Massachusetts is theeffort by the state's gay peopleto win legal protection againstdescrimination. Bryant, whogained national publicity thisspring as a result of her ";'SaveOur Children" campaign.which resulted in a vote torepeal a Dade County(Florida) ordinanceprohibiting discriminationagainst gays, is expected tolaunch a similar effort herenext year.

Actually, Massachusettsgays-and their supporterswould be pleased to seeBryant, because her presencewould mean that thelegislature would have enactedamended version of a bill toprohibit discriminationagainst gays in public employ-ment.

By Kent PitmanThe Committee on Academic

Performance (CAP) has preparedan analysis recommending thatthe drop date be located earlier inthe term than its present date.

The analysis, submitted by theCAP to the Committee onEducational Policy (CEP), wasobtained by fiursday and quotedin part by Ron Newman '79 inyesterday's issue.

"That report is being discussedin the CEP today," Professor ofPhysics Robert Hulsizer,Chairman of the CEP, told TheTech )esterday morning.

Huisizer w-ent on to sav that hefeels it "isn't crucial" that thesubject be heard immediately atthe next Faculty Committeemeeting (scheduled for Oct. 19),and that he would like the CEP tohave "ample time for discussionand hearings before we makerecommendations to theFacultv.-

Elaborating on his personalveiws of the situation, Hulsizerpointed out that there are basical-Iy two factors involved.

.. It [a late drop date] puts anextra load on the faculty." Thecurrent policy leads students todelay their decision to drop acourse for such an extendedperiod that extra work on the partof the faculty is called for, gradingpapers and in other ways aidingstudents who have not firmlycommitted themselves to theclass, when their efforts couldperhaps be better spent directedat a smaller number of moreserious students.

"The other problem," con-tinued Hulsizer, "is a more subtleone. People are also concernedabout grades. ... A lot of stu-dents, if they know they are goingto make a bad grade in a course,will drop it." This is one of theways that MIT students maintainsuch high averages; people don'tget bad grades here bemuse theydrop the courses in which they aredoing poorly, he noted, addingthat he did not feel that this wasnecessarily bad because the flex-

David Soule'79 has issued a letterof apology to those offended bythe inclusion of the Grogo picturein the Technology CommunityAssociation produced Pic-turebook.

The Committee on Discipline(COD) received a third complaintabout the photograph on Mon-day. The firsi complaint called forthe expulsion of Soule; the secondasked for the expulsion of the en-tire TCA membership.

Soule's letter (see box at right);states in part that "I cannot ex-pect to fully understand the insultsome people saw in the picturebut I am now aware of the insult.My inclusion of the picture was agrave mistake and I want toapologize to those people whom Ihave offended."

His letter was given to The Techtogether with a letter from aUgandan student who had beenone of the original students tocomplain about the picture(seeletter. P. 4). Petero Kwizera G

Eary dro

stated in that letter that Soule"has come to realize the basis ofthe pain (caused by the publica-tion) among some members of[the] MIT community. Further-more, I feel that his apology is inearnest."

The new charges were broughtby a group of East African stu-dents against the editoral boardof the Pictureb6ok, according to awell-informed source.

They state that the picture ofthe gorilla statue called Grogo,and its caption, "Harvey Grogo- Kampala, Uganda," weredirected against Ugandan Presi-dent Idi Amin. They say that it isinsensitive to joke about Amin,because his actions are a seriouspolitical matter that affects manyAfricans.

In addition, the charges saythat the racial implications of thepicture cannot be ignored.

The students ask for anapology - the charges were is-sued before Soule's letter wasreleased - for suitable dis-ciplinarN action, and for the

withdrawal of all copies of thepicturebook. They do not specifyhow this withdrawal was to be ac-complished, according to thesource.

Assistant Director of Admis-sions John Mack '73 spoke withThe Tech on Monday evening

concerning his charge calling forthe expulsion of the entire TeAstaff.

Mack said that he had beentold by some of the students in-volved that the picture Aasdirected against Amin, and thatTCA's Sept. 13 letter of explana-tion, which denied that the p.c-ture was intended to be political.showed "a total iack of conccrn,ith getting the truth of mattersout" alnd "complicity A th Soule"in his actions.

He said that he has seen and isendorsing the charges presentedby Assistant Professor of PoliticaiScience Willard Johnson. Ahoasked for the explusion of Soule.Mack said that he realized thatthe COD does not normall, ac-cept charges w hich name nospecific persons. but that he feltthat TCA should identify thoseresponsible. or those not respon-sible should come forward anddisclaim TCA's actions.

The Interfraternity Conferencet:met Tuesday, but it issued nostatement on the matter.

Areview of Wednesday's concertincluding a back-stage inter-view appears in Arts. --------------p6At the New England Women'sSingle-Handed Cham-pionship, MIT sailors tookfour of the top six spots.

To the mnembers of the MITcornmuni ot:

During the past two weeks Ihave tried to understand whatI did when I published the pic-ture of Grogo. I now realizethat I cannot expect to fullyunderstand the insult somepeople saw in the picture but Iam now aware of the insult.My inclusion of the picturewas a grave mistake and Iwant to apologize to thosepeople whom I have offended.I am very sorry and if I weregiven a second chance, I wouldnever allow the picture to bepublished.

Sincerely,David P. Soule '79

ibilitv offered by a late drop dategives students avgreater chance oftrying to become involved withother activities without a com-plete loss of grade security.

At the CEP meeting yesterday,these topics were discussed,however no decisions have beenmade.

The article in yesterdav's thurs-day alleged that the CAP was notinterested in the students' views ofan early drop date because "theresponses would probably not beobjective ones, since there is anatural reaction against anychange which limits one's op-tions."

Commenting on this statement,Hulsizer said that to the best ofhis knowledge, the only reasonthat some form of student pollhad not been conducted was thatthe CAP study was made over thesummer, and the majority of thestudent body was unavailable forcomment.

The drop date issue originallyarose when Professor of ElectricalEngineering William Siebertbacked a resolution proposingthat facultv advisors in Course VIshould not sign drop cards afterthe fifth week of the term.Siebert's proposal, which wasbrought before his department'sUndergraduate Education PolicyCommittee was approved, andwas to take effect this term (seeThe Tech, Thursday, May 19,1977).

In an effort to maintain a un-iform drop date policythroughout MIT, Course VI wasasked to defer its action until amore detailed study could be per-formed by the CAP.

The provision for having adrop date at MIT is covered in adocument entitled The Rules andRegulations of the Faculty.Hulsizer explained the differencebetween rules and regulations:Rules must be posted for a monthbefore any final decision can bemade about them by the FacultyCommittee. Regulations may beacted upon immediately. Drop

-date is controlled by a regulation.

The matter ,,ill. therefore, be proposed change could be voteddiscussed by the CEP thoroughly upon immediatelx and actionin order to decide whether it could be taken at any- time. If ap-should be heard by the Faculty proved, the new drop date couldand with what recommendations. go into effect as early as thisOnce obtained by the faculty, the spring.

Baker House traditions springfrom its unique architecture.Baker's serpentine brick edificewas derived from noted Finnisharchitect Alvar Aalto's fantasy ofa pregnant worm squirming alongthe Charles. Architecture studentsfrom all over the world come tomarvel at Aalto's strange crea-tion. The undulating constructiongives most of the "up-to-28-walled rooms" a view of the riverand the Boston skyline. The widecorridors. numerous lounges, andexpansive staircases combine tocreate a high degree of interac-tion, friendship, commitment topersonal growth, and spiritamong the students living in thehouse.

Self-styled as the largest frater-nity on campus, Baker 'is largeenough to provide for in-dependence and growing space,but small enough to provide thesecurity of a large family. Thehousemasters, Nafi and HelenaToksoz personify the Baker spirit

The University of Georgia hasbeen looking for a new vice-president for academic affairs.Opposition developed on theSe-arch committee to one of the,finalists - Virginia Y. Trotter,of the Department of Health,Education, and Welfare.

Her critics, reported theAthens (Ga.) Observer, wereupset over some of Ms. Trot-ter's publications in her field,home ecomomics. Amongthem, noted the critics withgreat scorn: "Many T-HousesCould be Remodeled,"' "NoStoop, No Stretch Kitchen,""Cleaning Supplies - KeepThem Handy," and "A Roomfor the Pre-School Child."

If Ms. Trotter gets the job,the Observer quoted onesearch-committee member assaying, "There's going to be noway for intellectual values tobe championed on this cam-pus."

Soule's apology sincere

j

Editor's note: The following let-ter, submitted by one of the flvestudents who originaliy broughtforth grievances against the Grogophoto, was received by The Techtogether with David Soule'sapology letter. {see page onel

To the Editor:As a Ugandan student at MIT,

I couldn't help being involved in

the Freshman Picturebook con-troversy; I have talked over thematter several times over the lasttwo weeks-with Mr. Soule. Myunderstanding is that he has cometo realize the basis of the pain(caused by the publication)among some members of [the]MIT community. Furthermore Ifeel that his apology is in earnest.

The Tech received a cop3' of thisletter to Doctor David F. NobleTo the Editor:

Have you a bone to pick withthe MIT Administration? Why doyou have a chip on your shoulder?Do you honestly feel the PhysicalPlant identification badges arediscriminatory? I must ask you toreconsider.

Consider service employees inmany industries are asked to wearidentification badges, whileworkers around them do not. Thereason? The service employees en-joy a much greater. physicalmobility than others. In generalPhysical Plant employees work amuch greater area, and come ingreater contact with people thanother employees. Secretaries andLab technicians usually maintainone or two offices, and seldomhave occasion to work on shortterm projects in many areas.

This policy of asking the groupof employees with the greatestmobility to wear badges seemsconsistent. Employees of Housingand Food Services (except forwatchmen) do not wear badges-

the usually work a fixed locationwithin a single building. Theseemployees are on a similiar, if notlower. wage scale compared toPhysical Plant employees.

You point out that PhysicalPlant employees have noresources to "resist the policy,whereas faculty, administrators,and students do." I beg to differ:Physical Plant employees are un-ionized, whereas the others arenot. The unions serving MIT havestraightforward grievance chan-nels that could be brought intoplay.

Regarding the use of timecards: may I point out the factthat students use time cards aswell as Physical Plant, not tomention Housing and Food Ser-vices. Time cards are used, in fact,by all employees paid by the hour.Faculty, administration, and staffare paid by the week, and are ex-pected to finish the tasks assignedto them, regardless of the time in-volved.

To the Editor:.-I would like to take issue with

Tomrn Russ's letter to the Editor(The Tech. Tuesday, Sept. 20). inthat he seems to take into con-sideration David Soule's right tofree expression. but ignores theoffense made in the Freshman Pic-turebhook, which equally violatesthe equal rights of the Black stu-dents on campus. What TomRuss seems to be saving is thatthere are two different kinds ofequal rights and freedom of ex-pression; in other words what is ineffect important. is our right tofree expression. not theirs.

jection to the Consumer Guidearticle, in my opinion, appearedto be that it was morally offensive,rather than that it attacked cer-tain members of the MIT com-munity. A more appropriatesimilarity to the current situationwas an earlier objection by anumber of concerned women oncampus about evidence of sexualstereotyping in Last Word sectionin thursdav articles. As a matter ofrecord. the editorial response tothe allegations at that time wasthat it was unintentional.

Third point is that, neitherDavid Soule's nor his colleagues'response ("Gorillas are in-

digenous to Africa"), seems to beadequate, in response to Profes-sor Johnson's allegations; andmay I also mention that DavidSoule's publication, seems to me,more the logical conclusion of thecurrent whipped up hysteriaagainst Uganda and its despicabledictator Idi Amin. in. this senseSoule is probably a victim of mis-conception.

The fourth point I want tomake in connection with this mat-ter. is to call on' attention to theBakke case, which is of immenseimportance to minoritv students(International Students included).

Eddie Mezrahi G

To the Editor.'Reading the statement of

charges against Mr. David P.Soule one is struck by the state-ment: "Being a person of normalor abov-e intelligence. prita faciaevidence of which is his prior ad-m!ission to M IT as a regularstudent .... " Asst. ProfessorA illard R. Johnson, being aperson of normal or above intel-ligence must have been aware thatthis statement contained one ormore of the folloing implica-t/on. any one of which %vou!d beinappropriate in a documentw hich is presented as an officialcomplaint to the Committee onDiscipline:a. That being a non-regular stu-

dent at MIT is not prila faciaevidence of normal or aboveintelligence.

b. That since it cannot be as-sumed that non-regular stu-dents are of normal or aboveintelligence there must besome >ho are not of normal or

above intelligence.c. That inasmuch as M IT accepts

students who are not of nor-mal or above intelligence asnon-reguiar students, MIT_does not require non-regularstudents to be of normal orabove intelligence.

d. That since MIT requires non-regular students to havedemonstrated a capacity to dowork at T11' at a reasonablelevel, one does not need nor-mal or above intelligence to dosork at MIIT at a reasonablelevel.

e. That in as much as one doesnot need normal or above in-telligence to do reasonablewell in MIT courses, thereforeregular students are acceptedto MIT who do not have nor-mal or above intelligence.

f. That in as much as regular stu-dents are accepted to MIT·who do not have normal orabove intelligence, prior ad-mission to MIT is not primafacia eviderfce that Mr. Soulehas normal or above intel-ligence and therefore the state-ment quoted was sarcastic.

Any one of these inferenceswould suggest that Asst. Profes-sor Johnson not only harboursmisguided views of MIT non-regular students, but, further-more, since he was willing to putthis statement in an official com-plaint which would be dealt withby the administration and even-tually by the MIT community, hecan be deemed to disrespect therights of students at MIT and thecharacter of the Institute.Therefore, it would seem that ac-cording to the properties of ex-tended rationality whichAsst. Professor Johnson has ap-plied to thi case, Asst. ProfessorJohnson should call for his ownremoval from the community.

Doctor Noble replied with this let-ter.To the Editor:

Mr. Shelton has confirmed thefact that the ID-Badge policy isdiscriminatory and has merelyrestated the official explanationoffered at the outset. As I said inmy letter, it is a thin argument forsuch -a blatantly discriminatorypolicy, one which has arousedconsiderable indignation on thepart of Physical Plant employees.Mr. Shelton has brought up anadditional point, however, onewhich merits serious attentioneven thought it doesn't negate mycharges.

It is certainly true, as Mr.Shelton points out, that PhysicalPlant personnel are unionized.But the current situationregarding ID-Badges hardlyspeaks'well for union Local 254SEIU (Service Employees Inter-national Union). Where has theunion been on this issue?Employees do indeed have a"straightforward grievanceprocedure" to go through on suchmatters. But where does it leadand how long does it take to getthere? One Physical Plant shopsteward lhas been waiting over ayear just to get before an ar-bitrator t: a routine grievance. Itis an open and, at present, a hotlycontested question whether or notthe Local serves the membershipeffectively, a question which is

now being considered by theDepartment of Labor following astate-wide Local election in whichone ballot box was provided for amembership of 10,000. It came asno surprise to many members, inshort, when their local president- the winner of the election -resigned to take a job with MITmanagement.

I wrote my letter because I waspersonally disgusted by the dis-criminatory ID policy, which soclearly violates the' dignity ofthose affected, and because peo-ple I know in the Physical PlantDepartment were similarly out-raged. Unfortunately, I had towait two months. until The Techwas back in business, before Icould express my thoughts on thismatter, and by this time the policyhas already become routine. Butbetter late: than never.- Since myletter appeared four days ago Ihave received a number of callsfrom Physical Plant people ex-pressing their concern and rage.Most were reluctant to join in thepublic dabate over the issue,however, out of fear that theywould be branded as "trouble-makers" and thus jeopardize theirjobs.

This, of course. is preciselywhat Mr. Shelton is trying to dowith me in his opening adhominem remarks. It is a time-honored tactic, however logicallyinvalid, to try to dismiss an argu-

ment by dismissing the debater.But there is really no debate here;we agree that the policy is dis-criminatory. The issue is whetheror not to get rid of it. I insist thatwe should and, fortunately forme, the chip on my shoulder isnot mine alone. The US Constitu-tion, The Department of Labor,and HEW carry some of theburden.

Grogo issue draws silencefrom community officials

By Mark JamesThe latest wrinkle in the Grogo

controversy centers around inac-tion, specifically the art of not is-suing statements.

Perhaps everyone has beenwaiting for David Soule to saysorrething, as he has done. TheBlack Student Union met Sundayand did not release a statement.The Interfrater-nity Conferencemet Tuesdayand alsoremained silent.More surprisingly, no administra-tion statement on the matter ap-peared in Wednesday's TechTalk.

There are good reasons for thissilence. The controversy has andstill is evolving so fast that anystatement issued yesterday, forexample, might become obseletetoday after Soule's apology wasprinted.

In addition, many of those whohaven't said anything recognizethat in a sensitive situation suchas this one, a hasty statement maylimit the options of those behindit.

In their now-famous Tech Talkstatement, President JeromeWiesner and Chancellor PaulGray may have placed themselvesin such a situation - they solidlybacked the charges of racism, andat the same time made referenceto the Committee on Disciplinecharges. Soon after issuing the

statement, Gray said that he hadnot seen the specific charges, butit was easy for most readers of thestatement to have concluded thatGray and Wiesner supportedthese charges. an assumption thatma) well be incorrect.

The original charges of Wil-lard Johnson are highlyemotional and also largely il-

logical, and it seems unlikely thatmany peopie are really behindthem, even though many personsdid feel offended by the pictureand do feel that some actionshould be taken.

Man) of the aggrieved partiesmay be satisfied with Soule'sapology. Others may findsatisfaction in non-judicialremedies, such as programs to en-courage understanding btetweenthe races, programs which aresorely needed at MIT.

But for the time being, mostgroups have chosen to workbehind the scenes, instead of issu-ing public positions. Through thisroute, the controversy may beresolved without the divisivenessthat would be a result of a Com-mittee on Discipline decision.whatever that decision might be.So if it appears that no one is say-ing anything. that may be the bestsolution after all.

Another problem scrutinizedTo the Editor:

It seems that Dave Soule is for-tunate that nobody has broughtcharges to the Committee onDiscipline about the picture of anon-existent person captionedHerman Q. Witherspoon ofNow here, Arkansas on page 50 ofthe Freshman Picturebook. ByJohnson's logic, the Picturebookimplies:a. That a non-existent person is a

member of the freshman class.b. That the non-existent person is

a resident of the state ofArkansas.

c. That the students who comefrom Arkansas to the Institutedo not exist.

Need a ride to Stop & Shop tomorrow?

Buses will come by every 7-8 minutes, stops are located nearall dorms. The Eastgate stop is also around the corner fromKendall station on the Red Line.

Tickets are 50¢ round-trip, available in lobby 10 today11am to 2pm and at dorm desks all week long, includingSaturdays.

The service is sponsored by Dorm Con.

d. That inasmuch as Arkansansare Southerners. Southernersdo not exist.

e. That inasmuch as Southernersare Americans, Americans donot exist.

f. That inasmuch as \Americansare people. that people do notexist.

Accepting this chain of reason-ing, or any part of it, we have toassume that Mr. Soule harborssome irrational hostilits and mis-guided cognitions aboutArkansans, Southerners, and

1

Americans. and perhaps mnis-anthropic proclixitles in general

It v ould seem that thesecharges are at least as sier)iou asthose concerning H;arre, (irogoe'picture. and I am surprised thatnobody has brought them be,:oreCOD) vet.

By Drew Blakeman

"Get ready, 'cuz we're gonna play 'emall for you!" So claimed Geils' lead singerPeter Wolf, and the group very nearlyfulfilled his promise. Two hours of non-stop frenzy plus two encores delighted sell-out crowds at the Music Hall on Tuesdayand Wednesday nights, as Geils celebratedtheir tenth anniversary of working togetheras a band.

Geils, formerly known as The J. Geils

Band, recently shortened its name because'everybody was calling it 'Geils' anyway,"according to drummer Stephen Bladd.Under an5' name, this six-man group canrock with anyone. The sheer power of theirlive performances makes their concertsfantastic, almost an event. This one was noexception. In fact, they seemed to havereally wanted to do an especially good jobfor their diehard hometown fans. Theysucceeded.

Formed in the Boston area in 1967, the

old J. Geils Band released its first album in1971. Its nanth and latest release, MonkeyIsland, wasfeatured heavily in the quick-paced set, which included the title cut andthe current single "You're the Only One."But Geils also included many of their olderand more familiar rockers, songs like"Serves You Right to Suffer" and "WhereDid Our Love Go."

After a half-hour delay, Geils opened theshow with rollicking renditions of "DetroitBreakdown" and "Homework." Thegroup moved swiftly from song to song,never lingering too long on any particularone. This enabled the band to play morethan thirty- numbers during the concert, alarge majority of their recorded material.

Geils is composed of six members: PeterWolf on lead vocals, Seth Justman onkeyboards, Stephen Bladd on drums,Danny Klein on bass. Magic Dick onmouth harp, and J. Geils himself on leadguitar. All six turned in outstanding per-formances, both individually and together.Geils and the rest of the band all keep a lowprofile on stage compared to Wolfs antics.His stage presence is awesome; he -iseverywhere at once and in no one place forvery long.

It is amazing that the group couldc sustain such an intense level of energy

throughout the entire length of the concert_ without more than an occasional very shortC break. Peter W\olf never stopped moving

the entire time. He jumped, he leaped.-heshook, he rolled on the floor. He incited

Geils handled their solos superbly. In-stead of having a few long and drawn out

-solos as many groups do, Geils kept themshort but had a large number of them.Everyone in the band was spotlighted for aspecial performance during virtually everysong. A twenty-five-minute-long drum sololoses audience interest quickly, but twenty-five one-minute-long solos spacedthroughout a set help to better maintain arousing pace.

At one point during the show, ip themiddle of a boisterous "Must of GotLost," Wolf jumped off the stage and intothe front row of the screaming audience.Most of the crowd in the first dozen rowssurged forward in order to maul Wolf,grasping at him and trying to shake hishand. The ushers tried to keep people back,but were trampled in the crunch. Wolf thenleaped back on the stage, his clotheshanging on his body in tatters, andcontinued the song.

Wolf then brought out some champagne,hich had been cooling off in ice-filled,rash cans backstage, popped the corks.mnd doused the first few rows of seats withit. He tossed a few bottles into the mass ofpcople who were surging op to the stageand told them to "celebrate with us."

The Music Hfall exploded· ith whoops and cheers, but until thenprobably no one even cared that the RedSox were playing the Yankees at Fenway

Park. (The Sox eventually won. 3-2.)

Geils saved most of their 'really bignumbers for the end of the concert and thetwo encores. After pleading with the groupto do "Whammer Jammer" all evening, theaudience worked itself into a frenzied pitchwhen that song was played. "Lookin' for aLove" and "House Party" also drewecstatic responses from the .Music Hallcrowd. Geils' most widely successful song,"Give it to Me," capped off the two-hourlong set.

Geils is as good now is they ever havebeen, and they proved it beyond any doubtduring these concerts. They are at their bestin concert. mainly because they exude acertain vitality during live performanceswhich cannot come through on records.Everyone who saw Geils at the Music Hallthis week was thoroughly pleased.

Oakland given nodover Steelers, 31-28

By Drew BlakemanLast week there were a couple

of major upsets, but in general thefavorites prevailed. The AtlantaFalcons may be in sole possessionof first place now, but don't counton them being there at the end ofthe season.

Kansas City 24, San lDiego 13- The Chiefs looked mightygood in their close'loss to thePatriots and could prove to beamore viable force than wasthought earlier.

Minnesota 27, Tampa Bay 6-Ricky Bell has a chippedanklebone. Goodbye Tampa Bayoffense. The Vikes -shouldrebound smartly from their over-time loss to Dallas.

Baltimore 31, New York Jets 7-The Jets did not score at all lastweek but someday they may,They wont do much against theColts, though.

Cincinnati 34, Seattle 17 - TheBengals were almost totally shutdown by the Browns in a mild up-set, but should be able to scoreagainst the defensively weakSeahawks.

Denver 28, Buffalo 13 - If 0. J.Simpson has a good day, the Billsmight get close. 'The Broncsshould prove too tough at MileHigh Stadium: they can alreadysmell the playoffs.

Chicago 31, St. Louis 27 -Both these clubs have high-powered offenses and will movethe ball. If Walter Payton repeatshis fantastic performance againstthe Lions, the Bears should win.

lNew Orleans 27. Detroit 23 -Wihen the Saints are thrown intothe Lions' den, on Sunday. theyshould be able to squeak past atough Detroit squad.

Houston 20, Green Bay 17 -The Oilers had no trouble shut-ting out the Jets, but thoe Packersought to prove moretroublesome. Turnovers shouldbe the key in this game.

Los Angeles 20, Philadelphia 6-The Eagles managed to beatTampa Bay, but that isn't sayingmuch. The Rams will be back ontrack after their disaster at thehands of the Falcons.

San Francisco 17, Miami 13-Neither team was particularlyimpressive in their seasonopeners. Bob Griese should havetrouble against a superior 49erdefense.

Oakland 31, Pittsburgh 28 -This is the.best match-up in thisweekend's slate and should be agreat game (read grudge match).Ken Stabler will be the key here.

Dallas 24, New York Giants 10- Both teams were lucky to winlast week, but the Giants shouldmake the majority of the mistakesin this game.

Washington 34. Atlanta 13 -The Redskins are going to gainrevenge for their last-second lossto the Giants by trouncing thehigh-riding Falcons.

New England 28, Cleveland 27- Howard Coseli

notwithstanding, this should be agreat Monday night affair. Watchfor trick plays and good old-fashioned razzle-dazzle.
