By Gordon Hunter"1 feel we know so many

dangerous things in our environ-ment, that I should do what I canto reduce the risks", declaredProfessor of NutritionalPathology Paul. Newberne of thedepartment of nutrition-and foodscience, who directed the studylinking nitrites to cancer for theUS Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA).

As study director, Newbernedesigned all of the experiments inthe project and had to view all ofthe thousands of tissue samplesfor the 2200 rats involved in thestudy. He also had the ultimateresponsibility for the project andhad to go to Washington to testifyon the findings.

Nitrite is added to processedmeats like hot dogs, bacon, can-ned ham and cold cuts as a preser-vative to protect against-botulismfood poisoning. It is also the cur-ing agent which gives thecharacteristic flavor and red colorto cured meats. There is noknown substitute for nitrite toprotect against botulism.

The move to immediately banall nitrites, that started when thestudy's findings first becamepublic, was part of whatNewberne sees as a "hysteria inthis country concerning cancer".He fears this hysteria not onlybecause of the immediate danger.of banning possible cancer caus-ing agents without examining theeffects. of such a ban, but alsofrom the backlash that usuallyfollows the hysteria, which in thiscase, might prevent the discoveryof a cure for cancer by withdrawalof research money. He sees thisbacklash already starting as moreand more people are saying"what's the use of studying it,everything causes cancer."

The main weapon of those who

are trying to ban carcinogens isthe controversial Delany Amend-ment. It basically says that anysubstance that causes cancer inany anilal in any dosage must bebanned. Newberne pointed outthat the phrase in the amendmentreading ."when used in ap-propriate tests 'is usually ig-nored, making it very inflexible.

"We ought to consider modify-ing the .Delany Amendment insuch a way that scientific judge-ment can be exercised over theresults of scientific studies", sug-gested Newberne. He stated thatthis would be "a matter of chang-ing the legal language" and wouldallow tfor greater flexibility andjudgement in any action taken.

He added that is was very impor-tant to balance the risks andbenefits of any action.

Newberne had no complaintswith what was being done aboutnitrites in Washington. "First, Iwould not want to see a ban. Thiswould be too dangerous becauseof botulism. Second,. what is be-ing done now is right. It allowstime for public debate and seriousconsideration of the facts. Third,I feel strongly enough about thestudy's findings that where wedon't need them for protectionagainst botulism, we shouldreduce, eliminate or substitutenitrites". He added thai govern-ment and industry togethershould be able to find a substitute

but that "government shouldn'tmake'industry do anything."

Newberne's research has shownnitrite to be a weak carcinogen."It is not a carcinogen per su," ac-cording to Newberne, but rather a"'promoter", which acts like acatalyst on "initiaters" whichdirectly cause the cancer to startand grow.

Newberne explained how thedigestive tract also convertsnitrates into nitrites and then intothe carcinogenic nitrosamines.Nitrates occur naturally in sub-stantial amounts- in leafyvegetables, root vegetables anddrinking water. Newberne addedthat the body chemistry could

By Bruce NemnichEditor's note: Bruce Nemnich

'82 is among the group organizingthe revival of the Tech Show.

There will be an organizationalmeeting of Tech Show sponsoredby the Musical Theatre Guild forall those interested in any aspectsof the Show this Thursday, Oc-tober 5 at 7:30pm in room 407 ofthe Student Center.

Tech Show, a unique concept inMIT student theatre, was anoriginal full-length musical con-ceived, written, composed,produced, directed, and per-formed by niembers of the stu-dent body. Originated in 1898, itgrew to become'a prime focus ofMIT student life. By the 1920'sthe Show had grown worthy ofextravagant $30,000 budgets (in1920 dollars), rented downtowntheatres such as the Schubert andtoured in a private train. By themid-thirties financial problemshad beset even the-Tech Show,and it was discontinued.

Tech Show was reborn, aboutfifteen years later and rose once

again to prominence in the 1950's.And again; in the sixties, it fadedaway due to a shift of attention toanother stage, the Viet Nam warand general student political un-rest.' The last production was"Tech Show 1969."

There have been some indica-tions within the last year ofrenewed interest in Tech Show.Because of this interest, theorganizational meeting has beenscheduled. -Its aims are twofold I)to gauge the specific types of in-terest in the Show, and. 2) todevelop some concrete plans forthe: future. Of particular need toany -realistic future production at-tempt, large or small, aremanagerial-type people,playwriters, composers, per-formers and directors interestedin such a production.

It should be emphasized thatthe immedilte future of TechShow does not automaticallyimply a full-scale production. Infact, such a thing could be quitedangerous without first buildingthe specific talents- and con-fidences a production of this sortrequires. Therefore the goals ofthe near future are likely to bemuch smaller, on .the order ofworkshops or small experimentalproductions 'of some type. AnIAP mini-show this January is agood possibility,

Hopefully, if all goes well, TechShow will reoccupy its positio n asa major campus event in years tocome. In order to help it off to agood start,.everyone. with any in-terest ·related in any way to TechShow is encouraged to attend themeeting and share their ideas.

Dept. Heads arepicked slowly

By Lenny MartinEditor's note: This article, the

first in a three part series' onDepartment Heads, focuses on howthey are chosen and how- they viewtheir jobs.

Choosing a new DepartmentHead in a school at MIT is a long,tedious process. It typically in-volves extensive research leadingto a recommendation by a searchcommittee, appointment by theschool's Dean and final approvalby an administrative committeecomposed of the President,Provost and Chancellor.

Head of the Department ofMechanical Engineering HerbertRichardson '53 was recom.mended for his post by a searchcommittee having two facultymembers from each of the depart.ment's three divisions and twcfrom outside the departmentWilliam Hawthorne oCambridge" U'niersitys' Department of Mechanical Engineerinlserved as a consultant. The Dearof the School of Enginneeerinjasked all mechanical engineerinlfaculty members to provide inputand the search committee interviewed most of them personally

Perkinshowever, was asked by the Deaof the School of Engineering to bacting Head -as well as the searccommittee chairman - logic:choices he. feels, since he did ncwant the job, but, ironically, theled to his changing his mind.

Photo-rnag znesget a new LIFE

By Bob Wasserman"Life is back" proclaims the first page of the October 1978 issue of

the revived Time-Life, Inc. publication, and indeed it is, complete withall full-color picutres and an excerpt from Mario Puzo's new novel,Fool's Die. Life is making a comeback since it ceased regular publica-tion in 1972, and from all indications, it will probably be around for awhile.

Lifie's demise earlier in this decade is attributable to several events.First, the growing power of television' took away much of the impact ofphoto-magazines and placed this power in 'the hands of television's im-mediate coverage. Life makes a stab at TV in its assessment of themodern readership of the 1970's: "Bombarded daily by television pic-tures bounced off satellites... it is a sophisticated audience, hard tosurprise. How do we make a successful claim for their time? Lijkeasks,and that is the biggest question which confronts -the revitalizedmagazi ne.

This brings us to readership, advertising, and mone) Many of Life"s_ 1 ~~~~~~~advertisers switched to

_ television spots in the 60'sand 70's, following the at-

_ _ - _ _ | > tention of the nation's con-_ 11|1 a j ~~~~~~Sumrs, Lift seems lo, have

found a good number ofadvertisers for their first is-

sue, including car manufacturers, cosmetics companies, scotch- dis-tributors, and even McDonald's. These advertisers take advantage ofLifi,'s large page-size and glosssy print for effective and attractive ads.

LiJe's new motto is undoubtedly the 'Power of the Pictuire", and themagazine is brimmingopver with them. Financially, though, one has towonder about the number of photos. One of the biggest problems fac-ing photo-magazines is the cost of the high quality paper needed forpictures, and L'/es newsstand price' is only $1.50. In comparison, Tinesells for $1.00 and Sports ltbrated for $1.25. Lift has arrived at thisprice through seveiral compromises including using only free-lancephotographers, but a rate-hike'n~ay be'coming at the first signs of therevived magazine's success.

The best pieces i~ this first issue are two photo-essays. The coverstory on ballooning is good, if not spectacular, and should-be a popularfeature after the Atlantic crossing of the American balloon this sum-mer. The prize Of'She magazine,:though, is azsection not done expresslyfor Lift, the portfolio on Antarctica taken from Eliot Porter's newbook on the land. . .. : ~: . .. ',,

Journalistically, the October issue is disapPointing The introductionstates "our pictures and :o'ur'stories will have to convey the continuingsense that this 'new' LiJe is deeply involved with- thi World it covers".But several stories.make thisinvolvement doubtful.,..lnside a royalretreat" portrays the Shiah of 'rna's sunmmer vacation without lendingany insights into the character of this-wealthy, powerful, and-enigmaticruler. Nor does it do, much-more than casually remark that the Shah'sheir attends the US Air ForcesAcademy:, an Unusua!'pta cice for an all-American service academny. ...-

Other features seemn like they come right off the pages of Peoplemagazine. There is'a large, unexciting piece on 'American family reu-nions, and another trendy article on clothes designer Halston. And thelast page shows an attractive phot o of child star Brooke Shields andanother thirteen year old, Lisatnnc Falk, in look-alike swimsuits.

Some articles show promise, however, such as' the one on the originsof writing. An ancient Sumerian hollow clay ball containing tokensprovides Dan interesting comparison and link with the earliest examplesof writing onl tablets. A piece on Auoust's events in Vatican City turnedout well, as it focuses not on the new Pope John Paul 1, but rather onthe funeral and subsequent coronation which the Catholic Church willtragically undergo once again this month. Other noteworthy articlesinclude a single pic of a goring in it Spanish bullfighting-ring and an ar-ticle oil the making of The Wiz, an expensive new movie.

Overall, Lifi is enjoyable. Everyone loves -an underdog, especially ina publishing world with maiss-produced events and public figures.There is something lively and immortal inja photograph, and let's hopeL.'/b is around to capture all of these moments in the future.

Each year this office makes hous-ing projections for the followingyear, and each year a basic set ofassumptions has been used tomake these projections. One ofthe assumptions which held cons-tant for a number of years wasthat over the summer approx-imately 130 spaces would open updue to upperclassmen cancellingtheir dormitory assignments forthe fall. This year, because fewapartments were to be found,fewer people moved off campus,and we received only 84 up-perclass cancellations. This 46-space difference is the reason for-the additional overcrowding thisyear, and it is something that wedid not foresee.

nted in the 9/29 issue of The:h.[ do agree with Mr. Kesten

en he urges seniors to getin-Ived in Technique. I'd even go·ther and urge anyone at MITget involved in Technique. OurLff meetings are every Saturdayarting at ;around 1 Iam.)wever, that is our only point ofreement.I take exception with' hismark that there is "..,.aLucity of those [pictures] whichpture some facet of MIT life."we were attempting to producebook with a preponderance.ofhat Mr. Kesten calls "merely ar-;tic" photographs, we most cer-:inly would not have -Living

Groups, Seniors, Activities,Sport s , or Journal sections. Thesecompose more than 2/3 of thebook, Considering Karl TaylorCompton's definition of a .goodyearbook (quoted by Mr.Kesten), we've scored at least 70percent so far.

Technique attempts to present aview' of MIT life. An importantelement of the "MIT experience"is the city environment. SinceMIT-is located in a Frimarily in-dustrial. section of Cambridge(and a depressed. one at that),.wefelt -that a look 'at the-neighborhood surrounding MITbelonged in our book. AndHaymarket, the shopping place ofmany MIT students, also con-tributes to the ". .. panorama ofthe life and activities of a class."Since there is such a wide diver-sity in the experiences that con-tribute to the year at MIT, thebest we can do is try to present

some of the morephotographable. Nobody on thestaff believes the book is perfect(if it were, why would we be try-ing again this year?), but we dotry to produce a product that wecan be proud of.

I confess, we were occasionallymotivated by mere artistic con-siderations in some places. OurFree Form section is where weprint the photographs that wecouldn't fit into an essay-or sec-tion, but thought merited a placein the book. If we offended Mr.Kesten by our flagrant display ofartistic sensibility, we are indeedsorry.

Please, if you want to have a-, say in what goes into the year-

book, get involved. We canalways use the help. Express youropinions through action - get in-volved in Technique.

To the Editor:We came in search of insight

and what we got was demagogy.Those who went to hear James

Tisdale attack the Bakke decisionand defend affirmative action inhis informal debate with NathanGlazer went home disappointed.Instead of outlining, as didGlazer, the contrasting Supreme

Court philosophies add taking aposition on each,-Tisdale electedto evade the Bakke subject asmuch as possible in favor of issu-ing a series of flagrant appeals toemotion. Blacks, said he asthough someone needed to betold, were dragged to this countryfrom Africa. They were kept in astate of bondage until 1865. Theyhave been discriminated againstever since, etc. etc. Yes, yes, yes.Though all of that is true, none ofit by any means can begin toresemble a decisive argument forthe anti-Bakke forces, Nor does iteven begin to address the prosand cons of the decision itself.

the bad, we must impose the dis-cipline of logic upon our minds atall- times (not just in the clas-sroom) and realize that it is insound reasoning and notemotional indugence that insightlies. Unless we do this, those whovalue justice might just as wellstep aside right now and yield thelecture halls to the sophists.

Roger Kolb

Nowhere was Tisdale's lack ofbalance and perspective more evi-dent than in his gargantuanparanoia. White people, said he,are presently engaged in a'global" conspiracy to oppress

the black race. European im-migrants were lured to thiscountry after the Civil War, headded in a discussion afterwards,specifically for the purpose of tak-ing jobs away from blacks("There is no document," he saidwhen pressed to furnish one asevidence.) His practice of assign-ing people of a particular kind animmutable pattern of behaviorand of attributing sinister motivesto everyone who does not belongto his group may appeal to thearch, idealogue, but to even themost casual observer of humanlife-it will seem a ludicrous fraud.

If the M IT community is totake a step in the direction ofjustice now and then, it mustabandon the Manichean practiceof dividing mankind into 'goodguys' and 'bad guys' andrecognize that good and evil existwithin each and every individual.To cultivate the good and control.

represented by Chuck' Markham '81, whoplays the -farm boy image to the hilt:similarly, Ginny Fowler shines as Secretaryof the Interior (decorating; that is): she isconsistent as a Georgetown hostess andSouthern socialite. The German-accentedSecretary of State (Liz Ginsburg) is a bitwearisome, however - a routine thatshould have left public life with itsprototype in i976.

We see very little of any one character,with the limelight shared nearly equally byO'Henna, her Cabinet, Clover, Sleuth, andher two comic assistants, Huskay (JoanHuffer) and Starch (Amy Markowitz). As a substitute for dramatic excellence, lastyear's double entendres are replaced by theincessant puns. But as a musical, The)'oung and Redless succeeds, both inwriting and execution. Starting with Ber-nard's poignant "Nine-to-Five Affair", themusic (written by Wigrizer and conductorDebra Weinstein, among others) scores onseveral numbers. "Stranded at Park Street"is first-rate, both musically andchoreographically, with the chorus singingand dancing on benches under the replicaof an MBTA map.

Probably the best nditnber features "Ba-by Face" Watson (John Zbeske '78) andhis three gangsters as the contemplate whatto do with the things they have stolen fortheir unseen boss - predictably, theforlorn Clover. Wigrizer and Nelson give agood performance in "Recollections", inwhich they contemplate their days at Wel-lesley through rose-colored glasses.Without this, one would be unaware ofWigrizer's fine voice, vwhich is unimpressivein the opening number, "I Can Cope".This also gives an insight into Sleuth, whois rather overbearing throughout theremainder of the play.

By Joel WestThe Wellesley Junior Show, playing to a

packed Alumnae Hall last weekend, wasnot a play of any lasting merit - few ofthem, if' any, are. The Young and theRedless (or All My Red Things) is severelywanting in character .development andplot: the show is a hack, pure and simple.

The story revolves around a future U. S.President, S c a r lett O'H enna(FayWigrizer), who is (not surprisingly) aWellesley alumna. The show opens in theOval Office, with the President surroundedby Secret Service agents, who spend the en-tire show in their own particular disguise.Leigh Passman '81 gives a shining perfor-mance as General Electric, the floor lamp.

As in last year's who, the play features.ayoung man's lament & in this case the un -

requited love of Crimson N. Clover(Richard Bernard), the Preisdent's per-sonal secretary. However, O'Henna's onlyclose friend appears to be her old "room-mate Sleuth Rouge (Leslie Nelson).Sleuth's character is berst indicated by thefact that she considers her own career as a"world-famrnous detective" more importantthan her friend's minor achievement.

The plot unfolds haphazardly with thedisappearance of the Red Sox, St. LouisCardinals, lobsters, tomatoes, and the RedLine, the last of which goes virtually un-noticed. In what is the dullest part of theplay, these and similar tragedies arepresented to O'Hlenna's Cabinet by severalcitizen-supplicants. these little skits give usan' indication of what is to come: a nonstopbarrage of bad puns and inside jokes.

As in recent Cabinets, this one has itsshare of mediocrity: Clark Jarvis, as-.theTonka-loving Secretary of Transportation,and Speaker of the House Alec Clarke donot bring their- parts off in' their limitedtime onstage. However, Agriculture is well-

'formed well under Weinstein's talentedbalton, the stage work was equally com-petent. The defects in the show are due tothe limitation inherent in the Junior Show

In atightly fought contest, Tech's in-experience contributed to a I0-15,15-13, 1 2-155 loss Wednesdaynight- to returning Division-- IIchamps Salem State.

Salem led early in the firstgame, but the Beavers foughtback to an I 1-10 deficit. After along deadlock, Salem pulledahead to win: the first game, 15-10_-:

M IT came right back, however,and ran up an 11-3 lead in the se-cond game. The women showedsuperb teamwork, both physicallyand verbally, by executing fineset-ups and by capitalizing onSalem mistakes. With victory insight, 'Tech suddenly began to getvery sloppy and Salem rallied.Salem. racked up seven un-answered points and then wentahead, 13-12. MIT regained ser-vice with a shot by Barbara Hoerz'82. With Smith serving, Chriendrilled home the winning spike.

-weekend since MIT had soundlydefeated BC just two weeks ago.Coach John Benedick blamed theloss on the team's pre-game at-titude that' "this is just another-game. We will win it easily." Atthe end of the first quarter, BChad a two goal lead and MIT wasforced to play a game of catch-upball against a fired-up BC club.

Benedick, however,-is "notconcerned at all with the losssince we know we are the betterteam."

Tomorrow, the team heads toCalifornia for a week of intensivetraining and games with a varietyof California teams.

By Gordon HaffPlaying before possibly the

largest crowd to watch M IT waterpolo in at least four years, the var-sity squad splashed its way to adisappointing fourth in the MITInvitational Water Polo Tourna-ment held last weekend.

On Friday night, MIT led offthe weekend with a 12-4 loss toArmy, the eventual winner of thetournament and the iumber oneteam in the Mid-Atlantic con-ference last year. Throughoutmost of the game, MIT failed topressure the Army attack andthus permitted the Cadets to getoff shot after shot. At the sametime, consistent pressure by theArmy defense all but shut downthe MIT attack. -

Saturday started off on a betternote with the Tech squad

many excellent scoring chanceswas due in part to a fine perfor-mance by the Trinity goalie.

MIT outshot the opposition 28to 19, and was fouled a total of 33times. Varsity soccer's record isnow 2-2. The team will seek itsthird win. Saturday against Batesin Steiribrenner Stadium.

By Dennis SmithEditor's note: Dennis Smith is a

nemlber of the soccer team.Varsity soccer was upset by

Trinity 3-1 in overtime Saturdayin Hartford in a very frustrating,heartbreaking game. The finalIscore, was not at all indicative ofhow the teams played, however.

MIAT, which last week receivedvotes in the New England Coi-legiate Soccer Poll, was caught offbalance just 52 seconds into thegame as a long Trinity shotcaught the strong wind and slip-ped beneath the crossbar to makethe score 1-0) Trinity.

Faced with this deficit so earlyin the game, MIT quicklyrecovered and began to establish'its game plan, but through thefirst hall', MIT could not come upwith a goatl to tie the score.

Beginning with'the second halfkickoff, tile ga;ie was all MIT.Trinity was outhustled and out-played to the point of embarrass-mient, but was saved lime andtime again by the failure of MITto put the ball in the net.

Finally the MlT squad brokethrough with just 12:15 left toplay aLs Zanda lori '79 lifted aperfect pass over the heads of theTrinity defensive line for the swiftBill Uhle '81 who pushed the ballpalst the charging goalie for theequalizer.

The furious MIT attack con-tin1ued until the end of regulationtime but to no avail, and the gamewas sent into overtime. In the firstof two 10-m11inute overtimeperiods. MIT again controlledplay almost comnpletely, but none-theless Trinity managed to goalheaid 2-1 on a *well-placed shotwith just two seconds to go in thefirst period.
