"The job of the facilitator isnot to tutor, but to get studentsto motivate one another, Cherystressed. "He should not solve alltheir questions, and should be-come less and less in' charge asthe term progresses."

Participants may also enroll intwo other seminars offered inconjunction with the program.Students in the Expository Writ-ing (21.730) seminar must havecompleted the writing componentof Project Interphase, for theywill work on an essay that wasassigned to them in the summer.A mathematics seminar (18.091)will help students taking CalculusI master the subject and can besubstituted for the XL mathstudy group.

Student leaders are still tryingto obtain facilitators for subjectslike Principles of Chemical Sci-ence (5.11) and Introduction toSolid-State Chemistry (3.091).

and physics, six units of credit, alecture series entitled "You CanBe a Success at MIT; -and a rec-ommended credit limit of 54units are among the offerings ofa new freshman program admin-istered by the Office of MinorityEducation.

The goal of Program XL,which developed in the wake ofstrong student protest last Juneagainst plans to make ProjectInterphase a combined sumnmerand fall educational program, isto "ensure -academic excellence,"according to the OME brochure.Yonald Chery G. assistant to thedirector of Program XL, stressedthat the program, is "for studentswho want to be proficient."

Unlike the proposed fall con-tinuation of Project Interphase,Program XL is voluntary andopen to all freshmen, though if itis oversubscribed, priority will goto Interphasers and other under-represented minority students.The program can accommodate60 students; thus far, 48 studentshave registered, 23 of whom areInterpkasers.

Participants, are encouraged totake no more than 54 units, ofwhich six will come from XL. Inadditioin to attending regular lec-tures and recitations, they willbecome involved; in study-groupsessions. These will have ftvevto-,six, studenits who have- registeredfor- the same calculus-.or-physic's

tations will be taught by teachingassistants from each participatingdepartment.

The first semester will consistlargely of an amalgamation ofconcepts from 3.091 and 5.1 1with some strands of biology in-serted, according to Silbey."When we talk about molecularstructure, this will lead to an un-derstanding of the structure ofproteins; when we talk about'therm-iyxmc d ld-eactio-n

rates, this leads to enzyme miet-ics, for example, " he explained.

The amount of biology dis-cussed in the course will gradual-ly increase, and the spring termclass, SP02, whill largely focus onthe biology of the cell.

The Schools of Engineeringand Science initially conceived ofan integrated two-term sequenceas a way to incorporate biologyinto the science core. The pilot-class, which was debated by thefaculty last spring, was met byobjections from members of eachof the three departments. Somefaculty felt the subject wouldpresent only a watered-down sur-vey of the three subjects withoutexamining enough topics in-depth. At Aprii's faculty meetingmembers of both the biology andchemistry departments said theyplanned to come up with theirown alternatives to SPOL.

According to Chemistry De-partment head Mark Wrighton,while this two-semester coursepresents a challenge to its teach-ing staff, the staff will be able tomeet that challenge. "The threedepartments will be regularlymonitoring feedback form SPOIfaculty and students to evaluate

The class, Chemistry, MaterialsScience, and Biology (SPOI), isthe first part of a two-semestersequence, and will be taught byprofessors from the three depart-ments involved - Robert J.Silbey (Chemistry), Ronald M.Latanision (Materials Science andEngineering), and -Vernon M.Ingram (Biology).

Athena officials expect thatadding computers to existingpublic clusters and the develop-ment of departmental and privateclusters will ease the load. Moreworkstations will also be installedin MIT faculty offices.

"We're trying to cram moreworkstations into public spaces,"Orcutt said. The largest publiccluster expansion is taking placein the Student Center, Orcusttnoted.

Project Athena has encourMalethe formation of departmenaclusters because of the difficultyin obtaining new space for publicclusters. "Since we don't haveany more spaces, we've gone tothe departments" to find spacefor a "non-trivial" number ofworkstations, Orcutt said.

If a department has space forat least six workstations, ProjectAthena will install a departmen-tal cluster. Each department willbe able to decide who has accessto its clusters, Orcutt said.

Early requests for departmen-tal clusters came from the De-partment of Electrical Engineer-ing and Computer Science andthe Department of Chemical En-gineering. Their clusters and fac-ulty office workstations havealready been deployed.

The dial-in service for remoteusers will also be expanded inabout one month. Its present ca-pacity is only about 22 lines, andthe electrical current is not satis-factory, Orcutt said. After theinitial improvements, there will

Another organization whichhas been helped by the center isthe Salvation Army, whichreported that, simply as a re-sult of the Public Service Midwayrun by the center last Spring,they recruited 25 new studentvolunteers.

Yet another success story forthe center is Tutoring Plus, a 25-year-old community a-ge'ncy

which, like Cambridge SchoolVolunteers, has always had strongties with MIT. Last year a totalof 233 MIT student volunteershelped them, mainly on largeprojects.

Democrats clash overdrug program funding

Senate and House Democrats are not seeing eye-to-eyeon funding -a Democratic-backed drug program. SenatorRobert Byrd (DOWN) has proposed adding more than $2billion to the nearly $8 billion that President Bush wants.Byrd suggests across-the-board funding cuots to pay forthe boost. But Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) says the-de-fense budget should be cut, sparing hard--pressed domesticprograms.

Vincent electedbaseball commissioner

Fay Vincent was elected baseball commissioner to re-place the late Bart Giamatti, who died of a heart attackless than two 'weeks ago. The 51-year-old former motionpicture executive, who had been deputy commissioner un-der Giamatti, will serve the balance of Giamatti's termthrough April 1, 1994. Shortly after his election Wednes-day', Vincent said that this year's World Series will bededicated to Giamatti.

Vincent began his career as a securities lawyer, workedbriefly for the Securities and Exchange Commissian,spent nearly ten years as chief executive officer of Colum-bia Pictures Industries, and most recently headed base-ball's negotiations with Pete Rose.

Some owners had expressed thoughts of turning else-where for -a new commissioner, but the consensuls-was thatthere could be no delay because collective bargaining ne-gotiations with the Major tLeague Baseball Players Associ-ation start after the World Series. Vincent is baseball'seighth commissioner.

New England Patriots head Patrickc Sullivan said thestate should stay oult of the football gambling business.This came in response to a p'Ian to legalize football bet-ting which-would~brnag the state an estimated $50 milliona year. But, Sullivan said, this added revenue would costthe National Football League its integrity.

Japan bans ivory importsJapan has responded to concerns about what the ivory

trade is doing to Africa's elephant population by banningivory imports, at least until the end of the year. Japan isthe world's leading consumer of ivory. The United States,Britain, France and W~est Germany have already bannedivory imports.

US official meets OrtegaFor the first time in nearly five years, the United States

had high-level contacts with Nicaragua. The State Depart-ment said an assistant secretary of state met with Presi-dent Daniel Ortega over the weekend. However, a depart-ment spokeswoman said the United States will not resumea dialogue with the Sandanistas until Ortega's governmentnegotiates directly and seriously with the Nicaraguan op-position. The United States is pressing the Sandanistas togive the opposition a fair chance in the national electionsin February.

immigration comes under fireThe Bush Administration has come under fire for its

plans to restrict to 50,000 the number of Soviet refugeesallowed to enter the United States next year. Many ofthose fleeing are expected to be Jews. Yesterday, the ad-ministration backed off on part of its tough immigrationstance. Attorney General Dickc Thornlburgh has ordered areevaluation of all refugee applications filed by Sovietemigres now in Rome.

Dole backs food aid to PolandSenate GOP leader Robert Dole said yesterday a deci-

C~ape Town march largestin South Africa's history

The white mayor of Cape Town, South Africa, joinedArchbishop Desmond Tutu and other black activists in ahuge march to protest police brutality Wednesday, repre-senting the biggest anti-government march ever permittedin that country. Such demonstrations are usually out-lawed, but the white minority government agreed to letthe march through Cape Town go on and police did notinterfere.

El Salvador talks openThe government of El Salvador has opened another

Colombian cocaine cartel defector Diego ViafaraSalinas warned Wednesday that top US officials, includ-ing Presidzent Bush, could be targets of drug lords' hitsquads. Salinas, who spent six years with a narco-paramilitary group and is now under federal protection,told a Senate subcommittee that the Colombian drugkingpins have plenty of contacts in the United States.

Koop urges tobacco restrictionSurgeon General C. Everett Koop told a House panel

Wednesday that there is no-logical reason for the doublestandard in controlling tobacco and alcohol sales. Hetook aim at cigarette vending machines, saying that chil-dren are not allowed to buy alcohol, so they should notbe allowed access to cigarettes and other addictive sub-stances. Koop, who has conducted a tough anti-smokingcampaign during his tenure, retires later this month.

Retail sales on riseThe Commerce Department says high-gear car business

has been helping to keep retail sales rolling. Overall salesrose by seven-tenths of one percent -a moderate amount- last month. The government said auto dealers werebusy because of end-of-model-year sales, and consumers'expectation that 1990 models would cost more.

It is crucial that such an ac-counting take place, because ofVietnam's withdrawal and theprospect o~f the Khmer Rouge re-turriing to power. They are con-tinuing their genocide in theregions they still control.

After Adolf Hitler, it wasvowed that such atrocities wouldnever again be allowed to occur.We must nsow renew that vow,and set an example for humanrights abusers to let them knowthat they will be punished.

quire each flyer posted to bear asymbol indicating the group isparticipating in the program.(Each poster would not need sep-arate approval, reducing the ad-ministrative overhead and cost toMIT.) Third, require each flyer tohave a "'to be removed by" dateon it. Flyers whose date haspassed,, or whose date is morethan a week from -the present,would be removed by that day'sdesignated removal group. Final-ly, place a mnaximum on the num-ber of flyers per group perboard, either one flyer per boardor four posters per building.

Groups violating these ruleswould lose postering privileges

and could then be fined accord-ing to the policy currently beingconsidered.

Current pestering takes placebecause it is an effective way toreach students who would nottake the time to read a dailyevents board in Lobby 7. Ratherthan eliminating the practice,which would hurt small groupswhile having less impact on moreestablished groups -who havedesignated space along the Infi-nite Corridor - I believe thatMIT would best serve the com-munity by givting all groups equalopportunity to this 'valuablepublicity resource.

As president of a studentgroup that relies on posting flyersfor much of its publicity, I wouldlike to offer some thoughts -onthe new poster policy ["Groupworks to devise new pesteringpolicy," Sept. 12].

The Tech's article cites a spaceplanner for Physical Plant as say-ing that the present' number ofbulletin boards is "adequate.' Itook a walk down the InfiniteCorridor and counted the num-ber of bulletin boards. I don'tknow what happened to theboard that I remember at theBuilding 4 intersection, but Icouldn't find a single board thatwas not designated for a specificactivity. I suspect that few wouldfind no space to be "adequate"space

It seemed to me from your ar-ticle that MIT's main objectionsto postering are the time involvedin removal of posters and thedamage to the paint that postertape causes. I believe the follow-ing proposal would solve 'bothproblems.

Place bulletin boards on anylarge, uncovered wall. Keep theseboards "undesignated." Allowany group to -post on theseboards, provided they adhere tocertain guidelines.

First, require every groupwhich wishes to participate to doposter-removal duty twice a term.This would reduce MIT's removalcost almost entirely. Second, re-

(Editor's note: The Tech re-ceived a copy of thie fiollowingletter, addressed t o SecretaryGeneral Javier Perez de Cuellarof the United Nations.)

During their rule of Cambodiafrom 1975 to 1979, the KhmerRouge slaughtered two or threemillion inhabitants -over one-fourth of Cambodia's total popu-lation! I request that the UnitedNations investigate the extent ofthe atrocities committed by theKhmer Rouge, and put the lead-ers on trial for cries against hu-manity. Those convicted shouldthen be either executed orsentenced to long prison terms.

In addition, as the primarysupporter (financial and other-

No pos er

T'he use of Institute corridors for postering, a time-tested way ofgetting information out on campuses for no more than the cost ofthumb tacks, is acceptable at MIT. The Institute should not try toregulate it.

Other ways to reduce'the. cost of cleaning up the corridorsshould certainly be sought. Providing more bulletin board spacewould provide one incentive to posterers to keep away from morevulnerable wall spaces. There may be a case, also, for removingposters less often, since they tend to spring up again as soon asthey come down. Targeting cleanups for times when the Institutemust look especially good might be one path to follow.

The case for regulation crumbles under the problem of enforce-ment. How can fines be collected from the many student groupswith little or no money? And would it be fair to fine studentsgiven that it would be impossible to collect penalties from theplethora of commercial interests whose flyers are continually plas-tered to Institute walls? Some groups might also try playing practi-cal jokes on their opponents by putting up posters in their namesto try to get them penalized. How could the Institute prove whohad really put a poster up?

While the new student/administration group on postering mightcome up with some useful advertising alternatives -the proposedcalendars and daily events boardz for example -pestering will re-main one of the most effective means of communicating with theMIT community. Posters may not beautify the corridors, but theyare a sign of an active campus.

Do not forget Cambodian atrocities

The -ech -FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 5,1989

Alen Brien, British journalist,quoted in Newsweek March 20, 1967:

A newspaper is not a place to go to see peopleearning a living, though journalists like to pretendthey never stop sweating over a hot typewriter. It ismuch more like a brothel - short rushed bursts ofreally rather enjoyable activity interspersed withlong, lazy stretches of gossip, boasting, flirtation,drinking, telephoning, strolling about thecorridors, sitting on corners of desks, planning tostart everything tomorrow.

Each of the inmates has a little specialty toplease the customers. The highest paid onesperform only by appointment, the poorest take oneverything and anybody. The editors are likemadams - soothing, flattering, disciplining theirnaughty, temperamental staff but rarely obliged tosatisfy the clients personally between the printedsheets.

_pl~l E~'PAGE 12 The Tech FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1989

By Shawn MastrianThe MIT men's soccer team

began its season Wednesday witha 4-0 loss to Harvard University.The Crimson, a Division I team,used superior ball handling andsharp passing to pressure the En-gineers' defense and score twicein each half.

The MIT defenders did well inresisting the Harvard attack atthe start of the game. No shotswere taken by either team untilthe 24:05 mark when a Crimsonattacker rolled a weak shot to-wards the net. This was savedeasily by goaltender John Olsen'91. Harvard had had a numberof previous opportunities toscore, but a spirited Tech defensekept them at bay.

The Crimson broke the dead-lock at the 28:43 mark when a re-directed corner kick found theback of the net.

The Engineers finally got theirfirst shot on goal'about a minutelater, but for the rest of thegame, their scoring opportunitieswere few and far between. Never-theless, MIT kept their quickeropponents at bay. A slide tackleby Nabil Istafanous '90 thwartedone excellent scoring opportunity,and Olsen stopped a few shots

otherwise destined to score.Despite these efforts and those

of the rest of the team, Harvardmanaged to break through foranother goal just before the half.A Crimson forward brokethrough the defense and slippedan impossible-angle shot into thegoal.

Shortly after intermission,sharp passing led to another Har-vard goal. The Crimson workedthe ball in towards the goal andscored as one of the attackersgolfed a shot into the upper leftcorner of the net.

The notoriously slow gamepicked up a little as WillieScruggs '92 earned himself ayellow-card at the 63:54 mark.Words were exchanged, but playresumed without incident.

Harvard iced the game with afinal goal at 82:22.

Head Coach Walter Alessipraised his team's effort, statingthat Harvard definitely had thefaster team. He noted that therewere a few "breakdowns," butattributed some of that to thefact that three to four key playershad just come off injured reserveafter missing the pre-season.Overall, Alessi had a positiveoutlook for the team' future.

The Shields, which are muchlarger (30 feet) sailed much long-er courses and were faced withvariable currents that proved tobe the deciding factor in most, ifnot all, the races. More thanonce, the MIT sailors were pre-pared to drop anchor in theShields to prevent themselvesfrom losing ground in the strongcurrent. At times the winddropped to nothing and, the onlyexcitement was the occasionalsighting of a seal or two.

In the Laser A division, DaleHinman '90 finished fourth outof twelve sailors, while WilGorgen '91 placed third in B divi-sion. Their combined finishes re-sulted in a third place finish in

the lasers for MIT.In the 420 Division, MIT sailed

to an overall tie fob fourth placewith Boston University. KyleWelch '90 and Warren Wu '90saled A division, while MikeBowers '92 and Mike Leary '91sailed to an impressive secondplace finish in the strong Bdivision.

On the Shields course, MIToutsailed five other schools tocapture top honors. The crew ofDrew Freides '90, Andreas Lewin591, Scott Davies '91, and BillHall '91 were tied for the lead af-ter the first day of the regatta butwere able to win the two races onSunday to clinch their division.

(Drew Freides '90 is captain ofthe varsity sailing team.)

By Drew FreidesThe MIT varsity sailing team

began its 1989-90 season with asolid performance this past week-end at the Bag-A-Deuce Regatta.The regatta, held at Maine Mari-time Academy in Castine, ME,featured five different divisions- two laser, two 420, and oneShields division.

The winds for the series werevery light and shifty, with astrong current playing havoc onthe fleet throughout. The din-ghies (420's and lasers) sailed, forthe most part, in a uniform cur-rent with either one side of thecourse or the. other paying off,due to the small lengths of theirraces.
