By Charles R. JankowskciDouglas J. Wilson '78, Project

Athena's manager of system op-erations and system development,will leave MIT to join a softwaredevelopment firm effective April

[Wilson will become a co-i founder of Cognition Inc., a lo-cal company specializing in com-puter-assisted engineering; This isa "new product area," accordingto Wilson.

Wilson was responsible for theinstallation and maintenance ofAthena hardware, including com-puter mainframes, terminals, andnetworks. He also managed allsoftware development done byAthena stafE

Before joining Athena, Wilsondirected the Joint Computer Fa-cility (JCF) from' 1980 to 1983.The departments of Civil Engi-neering, Mechanical Engineering,Aeronautics/Astronautics, andOcean Engineering share the JCF.

Wilson became Athena's firstofficial employee when Prof.James D. Bruce '60 appointedhim to his present position. inJuly, 1983.

A replacement has not beenchosen yet, Wilson said. Steven

R. Lerman '72, director of Pro-ject Athena, and Jerome H.Saltzer '61, Athena's technical di-rector, will probably jointly selectWilson's successor, he added.

Wilson anticipates no maiorchanges in Athena following hisdeparture. "I think the projecthas matured to a point where oneperson leaving will not signifi-cantly affect the flow of things,"he said.

Athena "has well laid out plansfor at least the next year," Wil-son continued.

Cognition will develop soft-ware'to serve aga "tool for engi-neers to work with in early designstages," he said. Present softwaretakes engineers' designs and com-pletes schematic diagrams or wir-ing arrangements.

Wilson's title will be "managerof external software and systemarchitecture," and his job will beto "integrate software from out-side vendors into a complete sys-tem."

Several of Cognition's ten co-founders are from MIT. PhilippeVillers '60, who previouslyfounded two other companies, isthe president. Robert A. Light'79 will also be involved in thenew company.

Gray warns MIT faculty ofsexual harassment problems

Gray gave the following examplesof "sexualizing education ...-and abusing authority" at MIT:

X A professor tells women ina class, "Women belong in thekitchen . . . and in bed."

* A woman's progress on herthesis is blocked by the insistenceof her advisor on sexual favors.

v A faculty member has anaffair with one student in a re-search group. "This special rela-tionship makes it impossible forhim to treat the other membersof the group fairly," Gray said.

9 A post-doctorate feels shemust leave because her unwilling-ness to comply with her principalinvestigator's sexual demands ispoisoning the atmosphere for ev-eryone else. The investigator thenwrites letters to her potential em-ployers claiming she is unstable.

"These are all real - and veryrecent - examples," Gray said.

By Diana ben-AaronPresident Paul E. Gray '54

warned that the Institute wouldnot tolerate sexual harassment orthe harassment of other minoritygroups at MIT at a faculty meet-ing Wednesday.- In a demonstration of what hecalled "the power of specifics,"

He omitted identifying details toprotect the privacy of those in-volved.

Disciplinary action has beentaken in some of the cases de-scribed, Gray said. The names ofthe harassers were not publicizedbecause of the victims' fears ofreprisals, he added.

In a typical case of harass-ment, Gray said, the victim -reluc-tantly tells a resource person, "Ihave to tell you this, but youcan't tell a soul.' The resourceperson then advises the victim towrite a letter to the harasser de-scribing the harassing behaviorand pointing out that it is a prob-lem.

"The [harasser] may fly into arage, deny it, exacerbate it,Gray said.

The people who deal with in-stances of harassment show "ex-

" The sexually explicit con-tent and thetemotional content-should strive to equally reflect theviewpoint and the sexual feelingsof both men and women."

Screening Committee voted to al-low the Lecture Series Committee(LSC) to show the sexually ex-.plicit movie Body Talk withoutrestrictions. The vote of 6-2 wastaken following an open screen-ing Feb. 11.

The film may now be shown onthe same basis as a non-explicitfilm. If the movie had not beenapproved, LSC would have beenable to show it anyway, howevercertain restrictions -outlined lastsummer in the MIT policy onpornography statement.

LSC would not have been al-lowed to show the movie on Reg-istration Day or in Kresge Audi-torium had the committee. notapproved it. The committee didnot approve The Opening of Mis-ty Beethoven, a sexually explicitfilm, last December. LSC plans topresent the filmm on March 2.

Nine members attended themeeting which was chaired bySenior Vice President William R.Dickson '56. John Hildebidle,chairman of the committee, wasunable to attend due to illness.

Approval of the film requires atwo-thirds vote of those memberspresent. Dickson, as chair, ab-stained after six members votedin favor of unrestricted showing.

The committee approved themovie because it was 'not detri-mental .ea or demeaning" ac-cording to Kenneth M. Weems'85, one of three committeemembers who also belong toLSC. "I don't think it was objec-tification of sex," he added.

Movies are judged by the fol-lowing criteria as stated last sum-mer in the official committeeguidelines, Hildebidle said: -

There has been a continuingeffort to create new opportunities-.for graduate housing, Brammersaid.

This effort began in 1983 whenall rents on graduate housingwere raised to ninety percent ofcommercial rent levels im order tobuild a capital flnd, he said. Thefund is intended to finance fur-ther improvements in graduatecampus housing, he added.

Consumer advocate RalphNader was the keynote speakeron Feb. 14 for last -week's Alter-native Jobs Fair. MIT StudentPugwash was the chief sponsorof the fair, which was designed tohelp students looking for employ-ment in non-traditional jobs.

Nader's talk centered on the.role of the engineer in "citizen-action: " work concerning theconsumer's well-being.

"Business schools are full ofseminars on ethics that could dis-place the sleeping pill industry,"he started. "They never talkabout the decisions that are madeon the drawing board and in theexecutive suite."

Nader chastised engineers forsurrendering their freedom tocorporations. "The brighter youare, the more indentured youare," he said. Engineers are "toofocused on a single discipline."

He suggested engineers and sci-entists "develop the field beforegetting funding," rather than go-Hig where the money is, as hap-pens now. -h ne money came nfstand the brains followed," he not-ed. "I might have a higher opin-ion of human intelligence if thebrains came first and the moneyfollowed."

"if there were a Department ofPeace with a large budget, MITwould jump to set up programsin peace," he said.

Nader criticized MIT for notbeing in the vanguard of expos-ing the auto industry. "Thereshould be research programs in

crashworthiness. General Motorsput a car on the market that wasgetting 12 'Y miles to the gallonand the [trend is for mileage] togo down," he said. Without con-sumer-related articles in technicaljournals, he added, public advo-cates have nothing to build on.

"I can't believe the number ofspeeches that have been givenand articles that have been writ-ten about the social responsibilityof scientists and engineers thatcan be summed up in one phrase:evading the -issue," said Nader."Mindblowing ennui."The said when the government

officials think about MIT stu-dents, it is thinking about "thefuture operatives of American in-dustry."

Technology is used more tocontrol people than to help them,he said. 'Why is there no com-puter banking system for com-,parative shopping?

"Technology comes with a realbaggage of prejudice, subjectiv-ity, and power structure," Nadersaid.

"I think we have to ask whattail is wagging what dog," Nadersaid in relation to engineers'choice of jobs. "Could it be thedistinction between pure researchand applied research?"

"Cduld it be an implied as-sumption that engineers will sup-ply the means and corporationswill supply the ends?" Is there' an"unwillingness to incur contro-

meeting onBy Tony Zamparutti

The Harvard Bridge should re-main open to pedestrians and bi-cyclists, and possibly cars as well,during its planned two-year re-construction, said consultants tothe Massachusetts Department ofPublic Works (DPW) at a publicmeeting held Tuesday at MI T.

The majority of the nearly 100people in attendance were mem-bers of MIT fraternities in Bos-ton. At the meeting, preliminarydesigns were presented and pro-posed alternatives for construc-tion were discussed.

Over 1000 MIT students livingin Boston, and many faculty andstaff members, need to cross thebridge to reach the Institute.

Approximately 30,000 vehiclesand 6000 pedestrians use thebridge each day, according toRobert Fitzgerald of the E. Lio-nel Pavlo Engineering Company,which is making preliminary re-construction plans for the DPW.

When asked if there was a 100percent certainty of keeping thebridge open to pedestrian traffic,Fitzgerald replied, "I think so."

The cities of Bostonl and Cam-bridge, in addition to the MITcommunity, are pressuring theDPW to maintain vehicular traf-fic, he added.

Thomas Joyce of Pavlo Engi-neering explained that 'we haveto, under any case, maintain theexisting telephone lines over thebridge' during construction.

But for short periods of con-struction, the bridge will have tobe completely closed, said Joyce.The officials at the meeting wereuncertain whether this would in-clude pedestrian traffic.

People often form opinions onmatters they know little about.Some don't have the time -tothink. Others don't care aboutwhat they say.

They read newspaper articlesand editorials and make theirjudgments. Most won't look fur-ther into the issues to fully un-derstand them. That is why thereis a burden on the newswaver

The newspaper must Eind andreport all sides to a story. Oftenit fails. Many officials aren't will-ing to explain their views.

It is then up to the public tofind out what is going on. Butthroughout this nation we seemto be unwilling.

Hey man, got a light?Study Darrell Cabey's junior

high school graduation picture.Try not to make judgments. Agown conceals most of his check-ered shirt and brown tie. The capsits askew on his head, hiding thetop of his short Afro. His eyes,stare off to the distance behind aflat nose. His black skin reflectsthe flash of the camera.

In 1973, Cabey's father waskilled by a man who stole hiscab. Cabey is a high school drop-out. He lives with five brothersand one sister in a five-roomapartment in the Bronx. He wasarrested for trying to rob threemen with a shotgun.

"He's the type of kidk who'svery polite, mannerly and wantsto help,' his mother says. 'Butwhen he got around- his friends- peer pressure, I guess -therewas a difference. He had hisproblems, living ua the area welive in, being in the wrong placeat the wrong time.'

He lies in a hospital bed, para-lyzed from the waist down. He is19 years old, in critical condition.He has fallen into a coma.

Hey man, got the time?Bernhard Hugo Goetz i's losing

his hair. In b~londe straggles,, itlies matted on his forehead. Hesweats and leaves his parka openand the top button of his shirtundone. His face is thin andpale. It ends in a. sharp red cutwhich is his mouth.

When Goetz was thirteen, hisfather was arrested on charges of

molesting two teenage boys..Goetz pretended to be mentallyill to avoid the draft during theVietnam War.

He is a 37-year-old self-em-ployed electronics engineer whoworked on petitions to put trashcans and trees in his neighbor-hood. 'He was more concernedwith other people's well-beingthan most people are-" one of hisneighbors says.

But in January, 1981, in a sub-way station,-- three young menrobbed him of S1000 of electron-ics equipment. One tried to shovehim through a glass door, tearingcartilage in Goetz's chest. - Themugger's case would be settled ina. non-criminal mediation pro-cess. Goetz was disilllusioned ieven though his attacker waseventually jailed.

Even way back then, their logicconfounded me. After all, didn'tmy grandmama breast-feed thatbus driver? Didn't she fix theirfood? And, I certainly thought itwas Thomas Jefferson (yes, theTJ) who fornicated with Aunt JeDmima. And the beat goes on.

. I wonder how many of myblack forefathers were forced tostand by and literally watch themaster send their black sisters,weeping, crying and screaming,to the graves of unwed prin-

cesses. From ,deep within thebowels ofI my-ornmordial brain,the mushrooming thought "leaveShirley alone" shatters my con-sciousness.

I have not talked with DeanMcBay' for more than two years.We see msnot issues differently.Nevertheless, I don't want to seeher leave MIT.

I believe she is as competent asanyone who has held that posi-tion during my time here. I be-lieve she can be favorably comn-pared with the typical MIT careermiid-levrel administrator. I believeshe's honest. I believe she has in-terty. I believe she works hard.

But most of all, I believe she'san individual; no homogenizedmilquetoast automation; no Or-wellianl Winston is this lady.

Other than being, born blackand female during the southern1930's .(it's ironical thoat most ofus are southieraers), perhaps hermajor shortcoming is that shedidn't read Paul Laurence Dun-bar: Folks ain't got no right to cen-suahotha folkcs about deh habits;Him dat giv' de squirts de bush-tailsMade de bobtails fug de rabbits.

I disagree with many of her ac-tions and policies, but I wanxt herto stay. I wonder whether the stu-dents surmise that she may stickin the craw of the master evenmore than in their own.

It's 9:57 am, and MIT, indeedthis society, IS moving inexorablytoward technological segregation.Our black sisters, brothers andchildren are techonically ignorant.Yet black (science -and engineer-ing. in particular) faculty and ad-

Today I became a victim of theInstitute Screw. Maybe I'l beperversely proud tomorrow To-day I'm furious. Imagine my sur-prise when I went to class today,the first meeting of a Mondayonly class, and found out it hadbeen cancelled before Reg Day.

The professor's secretary toldme the Exchange Office had notbeen informed'of the cancella-tion. It seems that's not the poli-cy. .

I don't know about the averageMIT student, but most Wellesleystudents are not clairvoyant.Since the Exchange Office didn'tknow, how could I?

Because of this unnecessarystupidity I'm one course short

this semester. T-he first day ofclass was five days after Welles-ley's add date so I can't pick up aWellesley course. Due to my. pre7req's and schedule I can't add an-other MIT course. So where am1?. Score another point for mas-sive bureaucracy.

Fortunately, this mess doesn'taffect my ability to graduate ontime, but it just as easily couldhave. I've heard of similar sto-ries, so I know I'm not an isolat-ed case. . Granted, there aren't

that many of us in the ExchangeProgram; therefore, there's obvi-ously no reason for professors ordepartments to notify the Ex-hange Offices of cancellations.

Since neither school seems will-ing to do anything about coordi-nating significant academic dates,maybe we should have a littlemore sensitivity in other ways to-,ward us intrepid commuters.Please?

versy or risk?" he asked.One criterion of "public-inter-

est" engineering jobs is that theyinvolve preventive maintenmce,in contrast to the usual engineer-ing practice of 'built-in obsoles-cence."

"An airbag is preventive engin-eering," said Nader. 'It preventsyou from being traumatizedagainst your will."

Nader pointed to the contami-nated water problem as one placewhere preventive engineering hasnot taken place. "America's wa-terworks are outdated; the waterbureaucracy is stuff~y, WesternEurope is far ahead of us. Theliterature is not what it shouldbe. There is no motivational con-tent" in the literature, he ex-plained. "Even engineers have tobe motivated." ^

Even so, Nader urged studentsto get public-interest jobs."What's it going to be like every-day to go to work and- leave yourconscience at homes" he asked."bo you know what it's like towork fot something you don't be.lieve in?"

He suggested students "face upto [their social responsibilities)not after some procrastinatoryperiod after- [they've paid theirdebts] but right away."

'Everyday that you are at MIT,you're getting~the corporate per-

should look ahead to the prob-lems 50 years in the future.

Nader is a graduate of Prince-ton University and the HarvardLaw School, after which he wasan editor for the Harvard LawReview.

The youthful Hagen Quartet launchedinto their Kresge Auditorium concert witha performance of Mozart% Qawtle in G.K. 387. Their style was rr byelegance and easy mewi Now, but owr-eagears in attack lent an turity tothe work and.pro~ted any more than asuperiial appreciation of its depths.

The Quartettsatz in C minor, Op.posth., by Schubert came across better.The first violin of Lukas Hagen probedtextual complexities in the foregound,while the other players knitted a cohesivebackdrop. The highlight of the evening,though, was the concluding work,Brahms' Quartet in C minor, Op. 5l,*No. 1. The third movenent, in particularshad several felicitous touches: A gentlesolo on celo, a drone-like drive in tutti, asmooth but profound rendition of theviola pma. And the concluding movementwove a penetrating web of intrigue: Thebite of the first violin, darknesss in cello,the passing of harmonies between instru-ments made for an absorbing experience.

The Boston Symphonqy Chamber Playersset a nice pace for Saint-Saens' Caprice on,,, .,, RED,',,,,i is,3 J-er -ticq, Cpboe,clarinet and piano, Op. 79, and the fluidinterplay of instruments was enjoyable.But, the main draw of the concert, theWorld Premiere of Kirchner's Music forTwelve was disappointing. There wee sev-eral points of interest: Suspense was cre-ated by some imaginative permnations ofinstrumental color, and the cello. in par-ticular had'a catching role. But the pieceas a whole seemed unoriginal and, thoughshort, too long to justify its limited con-tent.

Intermission over, the concert endedwith a stylish reading of Schubert's 7Wo inB-fit for piano, violin and cello, D. 898.Delicate violin plucking by Malcolm Lowecontrasted colorfully with the ilt on Gil-bert Kalish's piano. Jules Esldn's cello car-ried us deeper.

FEBRUARY-22, 1985

Berax Aris Trie. Feb.20, Sanders TheaterThe Beaux' Arts Trio's concert on

Wadnesday %" pure delighit.The concert began with Haydn TRio's in

F sharp minar~and was-played with impec-cable deiicacy, almost to the point of fra-gility. The music itself is perhaps not ofHaydn's best. Howcver, the perforibersbrought out every nuance implied in the

.-music, thereby making what could bve

been a dull perfermance into a ratherbeautiful one. Tim dlicite runs in the Al legro, the plaintive melody of the Adagiocanetabi, and -the energetic dotted rhythm

I -of the Tempo di Menuetto were beautifullyexecited, with a vrewfavorable result.

T'e Ives TWo came as a refreshing blowof unconventionalitr after the refined andmeticulous Haydn. The first movement,Allegro Moderato- began with an extendedduct between cello and piano. The melodywas of complex structure, with extremelylarge intervals in the cello, and detailedrhythmical interplay. The violin thenplayed a duet with the piano, followed byall three instruments playing their parts to-gether. Although the effect was strange, itretained a certain Ivesian charm whichmake the work quite appealing. The sec-ond movement, entitled,7S1AJ, or "Thisscherzo is a joke," was the most accessibleof the three. Ives meshed many Americanfolk tunes in distorted and sometimes a1-most unrecognizable patterns, resulting ina very humerous interlude. At times, itseemed that each performer was playingindependently, as if warming up, while avery complex rhythmic unity underlay thewhole movement. The third movement,Mfoderato con molo. contrasted a vilan-MUSfirst theme with a very peaceful and almostreligious second. The music itself wastechnically very difficult, but the performl-ers never lost sight of the raucous and irre-verant spirit Ives intended.

The Trio's performance of Brahms Trioin B major, oapus 8 can only be describedas sublime-. Greenhouse and Presslerplayed the melody of the first movementwith the sweetest-and most expressive toneiaginable. The schezo, with its lively ric-

ochet bowing, was played perfectly. TheAdagio, my personal favorite, was etherealand almost painfully gorgeous. The finalallegro was lively and interesting through-oUt.

The encore, finalse to Beethoven's opus1, no. 2, was played a little too mulch likea- show piece, espcally by Cohen, butagain, the performess' abilities were shownoff to the utmost. The concert was, as ex-petd, .al -trmedous- succs. -SandersTheater 'is very, fortunaes inded to havewhat is possibly the greatst piano trio ofour time playing tis seies. Rkhard Godlib

7We Mean Season. Staring Kurt RulgJ,Muriel Hemnngwag and Richard Soidan.Directed by Philip Borsos. Opened onFebnruay 15 at the Sork Pi Alley. Rated R.

In its genre, The Mean Season offers anunusually intricate and captivating plot.Based on the thriller novel In the Heat ofthe Summer by John Katzenbach, the sto-ry revolves around the relationship be-tween a maniacal pattern murderer and acrime reporter for The Miami Journal.

After his first victim, Alan Delour(Richard Jordan) calls reporter MalcomAnderson (Kurt Russell) at his office to in-form him that this is only the first in a se-qluence of five. at i9 the hainna a Hpelling symbiotic relationship. Anderson isthe only link with the killer. He is exploit-ed by the police, who wish to capture thepsychopath, and by the killer who cravesfor public attention.

From the beginning, the film sets a fran-tic pace. Time-lapse photography ofthreatening cumulus-nimbus, vicious tropi-cal winds and the helter-skelter news-roomatmosphere are enough to bring any mor-tal to the edge of his seat, popcorn a-spill-ing, mouth gaping.

As the victims fall the film's rhythmchanges. We learn more about Andersonand his relationship with elementaryschool-teacher Christine Connelly (MarielMelmingway). Their love for each other isthreatened by Andersons unavoidable in-volvement with the killer. Eventually,Christine also becomes part of the maca-bre scenario.

It seems that Hollywood filmns-rely on aseries of wellfetablished but frustratingfilm-making -formulae; formulae whichmake u' wonder upon exiting the theater

why 'the obvious thing to do' was notpart of the course of action followed bythe protagonists.

How many times have you caught your-self saying: 'Why didn't she turn on thelight?' or, "Why didn't he call the poli-ce?" The Mean Season is no exception.The ending is almost predictable (if youhave seen enough fits of this genre) andleaves us with a typical Hollywod reality.A shame. The original story seems to havea lot more potential.

However what is really irritating is thefamiliar (and needless) shower scene wherewe the audience can indeed verify thatMariel Hemingwayrs silicon implants, (en-gineered for her leading role in Fosse's Star'80) are sturdy and unquestionably "thereto stay." Otherwise, the film is a worth-while experience.

I would like to -express my deepest'thanks to the Lecture Series Committeefor their screening of The Phantom of theOperas Feb. 18, in Kresge auditorium.Having been the victims of much criticismfor their pornographic jlds, they desnvepraise and -commendation for this imagi-native venture.

The 1925 print of the classic-was accm-panted by the exalting efforts of organistJohn Kiley. Mhe audience was able -s relivethe cinematic experience as it was silxyyears ago. It was no wonder that the audi-ence gave Kiley a standing ovation. Thank-you, LSC and Mr. Kiley, for what today isa rare and unique experience. -am -sum,that I am speaking on behalf of all 'thosewho attended.

wZanussi as introduced as such at theseum of Fine Arts. He was present forbelated official opening of a festival'

nt-day Polish cinemh. A physicist andilosopher by education, he consciouslyts a clear intellectual stamp on his films.s his proclaimed aim to address what hensiders to be the pressing moral, sociald cultural issues of our time.The introduction presented Zanussi to

as an uncompromising cinematic ge-us. Zanussi briefly addressed the audi-ce, submitting his latest product - Thear of the Quiet Sun - to its judgment.Unfortunately; given its credentials - a

rize at the Venice Film Festival amongem - it was disappointing. We follow

otential. But it was unconvincing, espe-ially as the process of falling-in-love wasft out.Problems in communication and the-

ontrast of determination and doubt wereealt with tritely. Several scenes were hack-eyed to the point of being embarrassing.nd, worst of all, editing was clumsy.anussi's comment that the film was "notery fast" was something of an understate-nent: it showed no sense of timing at all.'

The most notable moments in the subse-uent discussion were related to Zanussi'swkward position in his home country. In-eed, sympathy for his political and cul-ural cause may have contributed signifi-antly to the surprisingly favorableeception of the film by the cosmopolitanudience.The Zanussi festival -*9 cRetinue with
