By Ivan Fongi "We definitely rely heavily on

our student volunteers to keepthings going," commentedA/nderson Boston Political Direc-tor Mike Marinelli, "and because% they generally have more timeand are more politically active; weget thousands of students just inBoston alone."-

"These students volunteer theirtime to campaign door-to-door,in the streets, and at crowdevents. They are Anderson'snatural constituency," saidMarinelli.

Volunteers \were recruited atthe beginning of the school year.Boston Coordinator of SchoolsLaura Jenkins says that she andDavid Sullivan, MassachusettsCoordinator of Schools, con-tacted Boston area campus coor-dinalors and had tables set up toget a list of names and phonenumbers of interested students.They then separated the list byliving group and, In some cases,by dornitory floor, and used aphone tree to notity students ofcampaign events.

Jenkins esti mates an Andersonforce of 5000 student volunteersin Boston and "maybe-.doublethat for all of Massachusetts."Most students in Boston comefrom the larger schools, such asMIT, Harvard, Tufts, and BostonCollege, according to Jenkins.

"The volunteer student cam-paign is incredibly important tous because the people who donate 16

By Sarah Bingman"I would stand on my head to

keep Reagan from gettingelected," commented RobertSolow, Professor of Economicsand signer of a petition lastThursday supporting Carter'sreelection.

The petition, which was signedby professors from MIT, Har-vard, and other universitiesaround the country, asserted thatCarter was "better qualified"than Reagan. In the petition,fiaculty admitted that "Carter isnot a flawless candidate," butthat Reagan is "potentiallydanmaging' to the country.

MIT President EmeritusJerome Wiesner also signed theCarter statement. "Carter sup-ports science, technology, andsociety which I feel is important,"remarked Wiesner.- "He is prettygood on energy." WViesner sees-preventingnuclear war as thenumber onejob" and Reagan as apotential instigator of a "majorarms race.

John Deutsch, Professor ofChemistry at MIT and Carter'sUndersecretary. of the Depart-ment of Energy until last .Ajpril,also signed the petition. PresidentCarter "has done right by scienceand technology with good sciencepolicies," he said.

Asked what impetus there was17r such a faculty move, Deutschreplied that "there was a group ofscientists who thought it was im-portant to express their choiceover the alternatives." IDeutschconcluded, "It shows the generalsupport Carter has."

Solow admitted he is "not anenthusiastic Carter supporter,"find "I wouldn't call it an en-dorsement, but the alternativesare incomparably worse." Solow,a lifelong Democrat, recentlychanged his support fromAnderson to Carter, as he believesthat Anderson is not gainingenough votes to win. Solow fearsthat Anderson may be taking suf-ficient votes from Carter -toenable Reagan to win.

Wiesner concluded, "I likeAnderson, but I finally came tothe conclusion that he couldn'tget elected.",

"It [the Carter -endorsements]didn't come as a surprise, saidJohn Moffitt, Reagan-Bush Cam-patign D~irector for Massachusetts."We find the Reagan campaign

doesn't do well in academia in theEast." Moffitt mentioned thatseveral individual professors fromaround the country have en-dorsed Reag~an. - " Endorsementsdon't count very muchif1n this dayand age," he added.

Rel'erring to the Carter en-dorsernlents, the political director-for the Anderson-kucey Cam-

paign, Michael Marinelli, said, "I'think they [the professorsf-bad-!-it on his record in educaltion."* Headded -that each academic grouphas i'ts own ideas, and likes tochoose canldidates, but that "en-dorsemients don't mean much inthis election."' Marinelli said thatsonic "very notable" -professorshave come out, in support ofAnderson, one be~ing -BruceM azlish, Professor of IH{umanitiesat M IT.

Props 2 /21By Kenneth Snow

Proposition 2 1/2, a bill to limitproperty tax to 2 1/2 percent ofits market value, will be on theMassachusetts ballot for theNovember 7 election.

Proposition 2 1/2 will limit notonly property tax, but will limitexcise tax and given renters. a taxbreak as well. It will alsoend:;hool-board autonomy andbinding arbitration for police andfirelighting personnel.

Proposition 2 1/2, officiallyQuestion 2, would impose a limiton state and local taxes on real es-tate and personal property to 21/2 percent of the full and faircash value of the property beingtaxed. If a locality presently has atax rate of greater than 2 1/2 per-cent, the tax will be decreased by

15 percent each year until the 21/2 level is reached. If a localitypresently imposes a tax rate ofless than 2 1/2 percent, it wouldnot be allowed to raise the taxrate. Also, the law provides thatthe tax rate could not be increasedby more than 2 1/2 percent of thetotal taxes of the proceeding year.'This. provision can be overruledby a 273 majority vote at ageneral election.I rhe law also provides that no

new law or regulation which imi-poses additionall costs on a Scity ortown could be i mposed un less thestate agreed to cover the ad-ditional cost. The State- Auditor'sD~epartment would deternmine theI inanciall ef'rect of' any laws orregulations.

The, law provides that thearnlount of money for publicschools would be limited to theamount appropriated by the locali p pro pri at ing authority,

efirnlina~ting the autonomy of 1ocal1school boards. Presently 'in Mas-salchusetts, school boards can askfor tany budget that they deem isneceissary to operate the schools.

The question further providesthat no county, district, ortiuthority could raise the costs ini-posed on any locality by morethan 4 percenlt of' the totall of theyear betore. The masximunl excisetax rate on motor vehicles would

be cut l'romi $66 to $25 per thou-salnd aind would aillow a state in-

coine tax deduction equal to onehalf' of' the rent paid lor Li talx-palyer's prilicipall place of'

residence.IThis bill was disapproved by

the MIassachusetts House ofKepresenlttives on May 6, 1980by Li vote ol 5 to 14h. The Senatehas taken no action on this bill.lThe question was put on the ball-lot by initiative petition.

Citizens {or Limited Taxation(CUF1 i) is leading the fight in favorol' Question 2,· while the Vote Noon Question 2 Committee, isleading the opposition. The latterorganization is supported by theILeague ol Women Voters of Mas-sachusetts (LWVM ). The Mbas-sachusetts Teachers Associationas well as various labor unionshave also come out againstProposition 2 1/1.

'According to LWVM, citiesand towns would have to cut localservices lunded by local taxes tounascceptable levels. These ser-vices include Ifire and policeprotection, sanitation services- ind public schools. Under theproposition's terms, taxes couldonly be raised by 2 i /2 percent ofthe previous year's taxes. The cur-rent inflation rate, much greaterthan 2 1/2 percent, will insurethill city services will have to becut continually, said the kWVM.

All override requires 2/3 ol' acommllunity's voters in a biennialgeelleral election or aL Novemberelection called by the StateILcgislature. No community mayCa1ll itfs oWn7 special election for thepurposc- of an override. Since theovrri~de would not comfee untilI'fOur montolhs zither the fiscall vearstaIrts. I'iMnclial chaos will prevail salid the I-WVNM,

Chip Fttilkner, asssistant direc-tor ol CIAt1, asserts that Mlas-salchI.Sctts has the highest aIvcragcetax rate ill tle continetntl UnitiedStates. Second only to Alaska,Masslchusetts taxes are 7() pcr-cent ;above the national( average.Also he saidi, iprorperty taxes arenot a t'hir mlethodd of' taxationlT his hill will give Lid tohonlmowners who desperattelyneed it, Faulkner said. As for thepolice and fire protection cuts,I aLulkner caliled the LWVMvl'sstatcimients a "cscalre tactic.Whenever you wish to win overvotes, just mention the loss of'police;and fire protection." Thecity budgets will only be cut by 15percent, leaving 85 percent of thebudget intact. This is certainlyenough to cover "basic police and

money for the campaign usuallycan't afford the time. We hopethat the volunteer time spent bythe students will help influencethe undecided voters, rather thanget other students to vote. Wedon't have a nationally organizedpolitical party as the Democratsdo, so we have to set up ourown," said Harvard sophomoreJenkins.

"We are now giving a last pushduring this last week before theelection and, contrary to what theBos.to GClobe says, we still haveour hopes up and are not about toquit," she emphasized.

Alluding to the unusually highpercentage of undecided votersthis year, Jenkins noted that,"this election -will be won in thelast 24 hours Of the campaign."When asked about the recentcharges that Anderson has "flip-tlopped" on many of the issues,Jenkins conceeded that though 20years ago John Anderson "couldhave been labelled a conser-vative," she also pointed out-radical changes" in Carter'spositions as well. She said that shefelt Anderson's record islegitimate,. and people are al-iowed to change their minds."

STS rogram seeks nicheprogram requiring somewhatover 360 units. The degreeprogram is seen by Blackmer asain "important and useful degreefor a small number of studentsnot going on in science andtechnology.-"

... the program -has "1not ye!gotten around tofocusing onstudents."1

The question -remains ofwhat to do with the large numberof students wh'o are "'going on"' inscience alnd technology. PresidentPalul Gray's Inaugural addresscalled for M IT to "rededicatescience and technology as sociallypowerful activiti'es. Gray made itclear' that such an enterprisewould have to involve e'veryone tobe successful: humanist-principles-must be'reflected in the lives andactivities of all who choose to be apart of this institution." .

One reason for the anonymityis reflected in the'admission ofSiTS Program Director DonaldBlackimer that the program has-not yet gotten around to focus-

ing on students."' The programhas spent most of the time sinceits founding in 1977 building up afaculty and a reputationoutsideM IT.

Meanwhile, back at the I n-stitute, one of the basic questionsof' the prog4rn's existence hasgone unresolved. Convenientlyensconced in their ivory~tower, aselect group of dedicated profes-sors and interested ,students planI'dr the coming of a College ofScience. Technology and Society.Left unanswered is the short-termquestionl of whether the im-medi~ate objective should be toconcentrate on serving the needsOf the whole student body or con-tinuing the current, narrow focus.

According to Blackmer, tlielong-term goal of STS is to designal way for science and engineeringstuden ts-large numbers ofthemnto do serious work ons)ciall aspects-of science as part -oftheir regular degree program. Theshort-terml approach is to presentto. the f~aculty, sometime in theFairly near future, a proposal foran extremely intensive STS degree

(conitinuedfrom page 4)'program may serve as a usefulfirst step in bringing humanisticthinking to the barbarous massesat M IT. Some, however, express alegitimate fear that afte'r a smallprogram.is firmly established, itwill be tagged as a final solutionto the problem of making scienceand society mix. Blackmer dismis-ses these fears as rationalizationsby_ people opposed to STS formore subjective' reasons. He ad-mits that instilling--humanisticvalues into students "as part oftheir academic program cannotbe the responsibility-of any oneprogram. But, he adds that thisresponsibility must be centralizedif anything is to be accomplished.

This debate comes close to ad-dressing the real paradox of therole of' STS at MIT. It is impor-tant, especially in light of Presi-dent Gray's professed priorities,to bring the tenets of STS to asmany students. as possible. It is

also difficult to accomplish. A fullcomplement of technical classes,combined with numerous STSand humanities courses, might goa long way toward achieving oneof President Gray's goals. Itwould have an equally un-desirable influence on one of thePre'sident's other objectives,however-slowing the pace of lifeat MIT.

On the other hand, it is easierto orient a degree programtoward, those feew students mostinterested in the subject. It is-probably more interesting for theprofessors and mitight, asBlackmnr noted, attract a dif-terent kind of student to MIT.This is the approach currently be-ing taken.

Consensus probably lies far inthe future. Three years of study,funded by the National ScienceFoundation, have not yetresolved the problems of settingup a joint-STS-enginceringdouble

degree. The proper weighting oflong- and short-term goals will beeven more difficult and con-troversial.

The first step in resolving thedebate must be to bring studentsinto the fray. The program'sinwardly-focused orientationcould become a fatal error. It ispure folly to assume that theluture leaders of the US are in-capable of making decisionsabout the best way to bringhumanistic values into theireducation.

The STS debate must focus onstudents, as they are the ones be-ing trained to leave and join thereal world. IDictating the mannerin which ethical values will be im-bued is both unproductive andcontradictory. The first steptoward humanism at MIT mustbe an open debate on how itshould be taught, held with thefull participation Of all those whowill be affected.

Tos thZe Eilitors:The article of your previous is-

sue, -LSC Mulls Investment," isvery misleading. It mistakenlystates that LSC is considering in-vestnient in private companies,s uch as ai cominpany by the na me of. Monley Mart". The article leaves

Athe false i mpression that this al-leged investment would be similarto ai stock purchase-

What LSCA;is actually consider-irg is particip^ationi n a moneyFilarket mutual fund. This is an in-vestment providing a higher rateof' interest than a NOW accountwith- no real risk, while still main-.aining easy access to the funds. It.is ufbortunate that the reporterwho wrote the article had littleunderstanding of the- true'-story.

Aftter being interviewed by thereporter, 'I spoke, to the personwho had assigned her. i explained'the lacts of the matter to him?, andexpressed my 'concern'that such

an article could easily be mis-construed. I also told him that theactions being considered by LSC-consisted of only the change of atechnicality in our by-laws, andwas really not of interest to thoseoutside LiC. Despite my effortsto nalke the Facts clear, TBe Techwent ahead and printed a highlyinaccurate article.

This .type 'of, carelessness- orapathy toward accurate reportingis unacceptable from a newspaperwith The Trecih.s position oncampus. A news story shouldeither be researched deeplyenough to verify the basic facts,or it should not be published atal. This is not the first time that a

ATech article has been poorlyresealrehed, as last May's articleconcerning our price increase wasalso highly inaccurate.

For LSC to wrisely.manage itsmovie revenue~s-is to the advan-

1;age ol all students. All of' ourrevenues are used to provideniovies and lectures for the MITcormilunity. To gain a higher rateol interest tIr our working catpitalmlleans that more money will beavailable to provide these ser-vices. To distort sound moneymanagement in such a way that itsounds like speculation is ir-responsible journalism, and an in-justice to LSC.

It is impeprative, Felid asserted,tha~t SALT 11 I (the Strategic Arms~Limitaltion Tal'ilks treaty) be

ra~tiked bf v the Senate aind thatSALT II 1I negotiatio ns be: started

watrheads on each of their heavierthrow-weight missiles than wecan. SALT I sets limits on thenum~ber ol'iiissiles but not on thenurnber of' warheads. SALT 11would set linlits on the number ofwar-headds per niissile.

Another mistake, in Feld'sview, is the attempt of new presi-dents to renegotiate treatiesrather -thaln take up whereprevious negotiations have leftoff'. When President Carter cameto ol'fice, he did just that; a yearwa~s lost i n f~utile negotiations, andlie finally had to go back to thea~gr reetil n s made by PresidentFord,-d which were a rudimentaryl'orni o 0' SALT 11, Feld said.

When asked his opinion of aR~eagan presidency, Feldaniswered obliquely that he feelsthat the prospects f'or arnis limita-tion are bleak enough even in theIadvent of' Carter's reelection. Asto whether Carter can deliverSALT 11I through the Senate, Feldsaiid that he is "a little less pes-,simnistic" lately since public opi-mon has showShOWI renewed concernl'or disarmanment andl ratification-of' SALT 11 I has reemerged as acampaigin issue.,

Feld also decried theimrplem~entation~ of' "counter-l'Orce" missile tarrgeting, made of-ficiall last August by P~residentCartelr's D~irective 59, as a p~ar-ticularly dangerous step, pavingthe way lior both limited war andfirst strike scetlario~s.

costume I have ever seen. His sureness ofchtll-acter, coupled with a rare lack of visi-ble actor-egotism, lend the production analmost palpable glow of vigour.

Iveryone in this production of Henry,with the exception ot Mr. Rumsey, has atleast two roles to play, and this multiplerole-playing, rather than being an accursedtwist of' klte, turns out to be a great chal-lenge for each actor, forcing a heightened'sense ol' character and immediacy. No ac-lor c;an aiflord to he lLzy - and none is.

TIhat Ignazsio Bellafiore's comicchalracters should come ofl so well is ex-pected (his L)romio in 7'1 0m C°ljledi! ol'Er-W ,W:s is very good), but that he shoulddevelop Li firmness of style and, what isImlore illlportant, a willful self-restraintbelies prediction. And though his Henry isoltcn ralther dead (belore, that is to say, heactually dies), Mr. Bellalfore's portrayal ofthe' aging nmonarch gives many indicationsthat he is capable of' more than just thecomledy which he does-best.

Anltne Frates, Kichard Michaelski, andD)ar ia Martel demonstrate their variousstrengths. Miss Frltes' babbling portrayalof' Mistress Quickly, tavern hostess, is adelight,; s is Mr. Michaelski's two-canedCrouching ("stooping" is too weak a word)JtlStiCC Silellce.

Special mention and commendationmnust be givell to Bill Glickman and DavidBraclkllanl. Althoulgh Mr. Glickman'sI Ien ry P'ercy is a bit weak, it is by no meanshbad. His slivering Snare is tremendously

I'ulnly, briel as it is.

The Peking Opera is at the SchubertThLeaire through November 2.

Their swordplay is as adroit as'that inany Errol Flynn movie, their slapstickrivals the best of Chaplin or Keaton, andtheir acrobatic stunts make Olga Korbut-look like she's playing hopscotch. They're'the actors -and actresses of the PekingOpera. in Boston for two weeks in the finalstop of a ten-city US tour, and they're spec-tacular.

The Peking style of drama, often termed"Peking Opera," is a comparatively recentinvention. It was developed in the middleof' the nineteenth century from severalprovincial theater styles which date backhundreds of years. In its present form, itweaves music, dance, song, mime andacrobatics together with plots based onChinese folk-tales to create a truly uniquetheatrical experience.

Chinese theater is very different -fromthat of the West. The actor is the focus ofattention throughout; there is little or noscenery, and the costumes and hand propsare designed to assist and emphasize the ac-tors' movements. The music is also verystrange-sounding to the Western ear; it isproduced on -a collection of cymbals,gongs, drums, horns and stringed instru-nients specifically designed to accompanythe shrill, -nasal whine of the Chinese ac-lor's singing voice. While it- may jar thesenses of the untutored 'Westerner, thisvoice is considered a fine gift, necessary tothe craft of a skilled Chinese actor. And,m1ost obviously, the costumes and make-upare very elaborate and gloriously colorsd.It may take an actor-up to three hours justto paint his face, but the resulting effect ismuch worth the effort. - -

One of the hallmarks of the Chinesetheater is the use of standardized roles.There are four main types of role: male,temale, painted face and comic. Each ofthese, in turn, is subdivided into variationsof' the main role. Every role has its ownspecific techniques of'song, movement andspeech, in addition to its own particularcostume and make-up styles. An actor istrained to specialize in one of these roles;although a talented actor may learn to playseveral of his role's variations, he will nevertake on a second type of role. An actortrained for a given type of role plays it forthe rest Of his life.

The traditional "Xoperas"' were somewhatadapted and excerpted for performance inthe US. The pieces which were performedemphasized dance, mime, acrobatics andother movement rather than sung orspoken dialogue (a very wise move- as faras most of the audience was concerned, theactors could have been reciting the menu atJoyce Chen's). The resulting presentationlWAS a very well-put-together programshowing many examples of the differentaspects Of Chinese theater.

In an excerpt from The White Snake,Zhao Huiying, in the title role,demonstrated her skill and dexterity in theart of stage Fighting. This technique in-

*volves both swordplay and juggling ofspears and -lances, and the --transformedsnake used it well against celestial deer andstorks as she battled for possession of amagic helrb.

Mhe 7hree-Forked Crpssroad broughtout the more comical aspects of stagefighting as two assasins, Jeni T'ang-hui andLiu Li-hua, sought each other out in a darkbedroom. The stage, of course, was fully

Jen T ang-hui and Liu Li-hua stalk each other in the "dark" in a scene from Thev lhrc(r-2FME-ked(/ (o'ssiJ-v-oidt1.

lit. Yang Shaochun and Zhang Laichunshowed remarkable timing and Agility inthese roles as they slashed at each other(and missed by millimeters) in the "dark."

The evening's last offering, The Goddevssof the Green Ripples, was probably themost varied piece of the evening. It in-cluded examples of all four- different typesof' role, in addition to Fighting, dance,acrobatics, singing and dialogue. As such,it was the most interesting with regard to

the diftlrence between Eastern andWestern theatrical styles. The arias becamea bit tedious, though, as I had very little ap-preciation for the music, and even less forthe lyrics.

The Peking Opera is a wonderful way tospend an evening. Hopefully, cultural ex-change between the US and the People'sRepublic oi China will bring more enter-talinimient like it.

The BSO might be able to get by with tworehearsals with a guest conductor, but ttXMIT Symphony cannot. The conductor,Frances Steiner, had rehearsed theorchestra for only two two-hour sessions(fsollowing- more extensive preparation un-der Neal Stulberg). I really wonder, underthese circumstances, whether there is moreof a case For inviting guest conductors thanin perpetuating a deep, disciplined, con-tinuing relationship with one individualfrom first rehearsal to final performance. Ido hope that this fine orchestra addressesissues sucli as these, and that we are notdisappointed again. I

sitive piano introduction, the stringsentcrLed sXmoothly, their balance with thepiano just right, to creaue an atmosphere ofrInystery, olf serenity, of' time-stoppingpeace. Latvin' s fine playing continued tothe end, though there were patches of trou-hle in parts of the orchestra during somepassages oi the third novyement.

Unpreparedness showed through mostin the linal piece, Brahms' Sl'rnphonj, no. 2.IThcre was a lack oi cohesiveness at severalpoints that really was rather worrying. Theinlroduction of the cellos in the first move-nment was tirm, and there was somne in-teresting coloration in the strings ingeneral. But, certainly once the second

movement arrived, the whole was, ift\nything, less than the sum of the parts. Inthe third movement there were noticeableproblems among the woodwinds, thoughthere was one passage where the stringsrecreated that magical, serene effect I had

andmired earlier on. As we entered the

fourth movement, though, there was more

sloppy, untidy playing, unfortunately per-

sisting to the end.;

There may be lessons to be learned

from this kind of experience. Excellent

though the MIT Symphony Orchestra is,

its members are not professionals but, in

the main,_ college students with a lot of

things on their minds other than music.

If you're a junior or senior, majoring in sciences like math, physics or engineering, the Navyhas a program you should know about.It's called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate Collegiate Program (NUPOC-Cfor short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as $800 a month right through yoursenior year. Then after 1 6 weeks of Off icer Candidate School, you'll get an additionalyear of advanced technical education. This would cost thousands in a civilian school,but in the Navy, we pay you.It isn't easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicantswill be selected. But if you make it, you'll have unequaled hands-on responsibility, a$30,000 salaryafterfouryears, andgilt-edgedqualificationsforjobs both inthe Navyand out.
