The Advisory Committee on the selection of a new dean, chaired by Professor A. P. French, has not yet "concluded the process" which will eventually result in a list of two to six can- didates to be presented to the Chancellor. According to Vice President Constantine Simonides, who conducted- a review of the Office of-the Dean for Student Affairs (OSDA) last year, '"rl is vitally important that the Com- ,mpneted mittee. which has come this far, be allowed to complete its deliberations." French said that the advisory committee would not meet again until September 7 and it was un- clear whether that meeting would prove sufficient to conclude their business. Since the list of can- didates must then be evaluated by the Chancellor, it seems unlikely the new dean will be selected before the end -of September. Simonides said the new dean would take office immediately, although commitments to his cur- rent position could delay his ac- turlly assuming duties. French blamed many of the delays in the process on difficulties in assembl- ing the committee and applicants over the summer. Delays were compounded by the unexpectedly large number of applicants (300 to 400) as well as French's three- week mid-summer trip to China. Meanwhile, changes continued in the makeup of the ODSA.

The five so-affected dormitories would be BalderH ouse, -McCor- mick, MacGregor, Next House, and East Campus. The remaining five houses would be considered "cooking" houses, although their residents would still be able to purchase a meal plan if desired.

They may take part in the ac- tivities of any fraternity, including the all inale ones. The -five coed independent living groups at M IT are: PiKA, the Number Six Club, Epsilon Theta, Student House, and Fenway House. Fenway is going to be coed for the first time this year. The Women's Indepen- dent Living Group (WI IG) is an alternative for those womeon who would prefer single sex housing. In the dormitory system the fol- lowing areas are coed: all of Baker, Burton, French, German, Russian, Spanish, and Senior Houses; and seven floors (out of ten) of East Campus. All-female portions of the dormitory system are McCormick and one floor in New House (3rd floor of #5).

While the details have yet to be 'worked out, as in many of the recommendations, it is expected that the McCormick dining hall would be accessible by all un- dergraduates. In addition to the new dining f~acility, plans for Next House call for inclusion of enough storage and freezer space to permit system-wide bull; purchases.

The 20-year-eold drinking age has raised some problems for those in charge of Residence/Orientation (R/O) Week. The Institute above all wants to make sure that both the incoming freshmen and MIT are protected. To achieve the former, Acting Dean for Student Affairs Robert L.

Moree inmpor- tant, however, is the fact that over 95% of the Freshmen are under age and are therefore not allowed to drink with or without ID's. The fines for getting caught are stiff'. 1epending upon the situa- tion, they can be 200 or 300 doi- lars per person per offense.

The 20-year-eold drinkingage has raised some problems forthose in charge ofResidence/Orientation (R/O)Week.

The Institute above all wants tomake sure that both the incomingfreshmen and MIT are protected.To achieve the former, ActingDean for Student Affairs RobertL. Halfman has written a letter in-forming the Classof'83 of the newdrinking law s. The letter is, part ofthe Freshmen Packet along with asummary of the pertinent regula-tions. Halfman will probably alsoaddress the subject in his speechat the Freshman Picnic. ·

MlT has taken the precautionof alerting those concerned(specifically the dormitories andf'raternities) that they are the onesresponsible. "The onus is on thedispenser," Bob Sherwood, As-sociate Dean for Student Affairsin charge of the ResidenceProgram admitted. "There areonly two legal ID's that can be ac-cepted. The server is responsiblefor checking."

The acceptable ID's are a Mas-sachusetts State Driver's or Li-quor License. Obviously very fewof the incoming students will pos-sess one of these. Moree inmpor-tant, however, is the fact that over95% of the Freshmen are underage and are therefore not allowedto drink with or without ID's.

The fines for getting caught arestiff'. 1epending upon the situa-tion, they can be 200 or 300 doi-lars per person per offense. If onefraternity, for example, is busted,this can run into many thousands

of dollars. "The Institute is notgoing to be paying the bills,"Sherwood affirnled.

The alcohol situation has threesides to it. First, how will the liv-ing groups cope with it'?

Captain Lyons of the MITCampus Patrol expressed similarsentiments. "'t's the-law. You'renot supposed to drink uinder 20*We're not going to scout around1ooking for people who do so.That's the responsibility .. ofthe 'people runni'ng thegatherings."

MIT officials say they sincerelyhope that the Cambridge orBoston police do not need to getinvolved since this would straincurrently good relations betweenthe institute and these authorities.Sherwood, and others, see themain point of friction as beingneighbors to MIT fraternities."There are some neighbors andlandlo~rds who are pretty fed upwith some- M IT houses. They mayuse the drinking law as an excuseto have Cambridge or Bostonauthorities take action againstthese frats."

_Sherwood also commented on)the final issue: how the new drink-ing age will affect Rush Week.,,'"Some houses are encouraging,their upperclass brothers not todrink. The houses that are doingthat are being very empathetic tothe situation."

Hfe also' mentioned that therewill be a reciprocal effect. "Itworks both wtays.

Bob Sherwood, Associate Deanfor Student Affairs in charge ofthe Residence Program com-mented, "With the fact that we'veadded four additional areas forwomen to live (included above),we're hoping that McCormick asfirst preference will diminish. Plusthe number of women acceptedseems a little shy of what washoped for.'

The overall nu mbeir offreshmen is not optimal, however.Current figures have 1074 for thesize of the class of '83. Sherwoodhopes that this will eventually bepared down to 1066 actual ar-rivals. Even then there will besonle overcrowding. The exactnumber is difficult to determinebut there are likely to be between

75 to lUU75 arid 100 overcrowded students.Sherwood hopes that no one willtake this as gospel, however.

Complete information is foundin the pamphlet entitled HousingNoles /or Freshmren f1979), whichis part Of tEhe Freshman Packet.The situation this year ISworsened since graduate andtransfer students are having ex-trreme difficulty in finding off-campus housing.

Sherwood hoops that most ofthe housing difficulties will be al-leviated when the new dormitory,dubbed Next House, is opened inSeptember, 1981. "It's projectedto reduce the crowding and to al-low us to accommmodate transfersand re-admits." Voluntarycrowding would rernain since thispermits reduced rents.

For two weeks in July, 1979 aninternational conference of theWorld Council of Churches metat MIT to discuss how faith andscience can contribute to advanc-ing a just, participatory-, andsustainable society. This wasperhaps the only large inter-national meeting ever held whosemembership was evenly dividedbetween scientists andtheologians. The seminar willreview the conference papers andother publications that deal notonly with the relationship ofscience and faith, but also withsuch issues as biomedicalengineering, energy policy, thearms race and maldistribution ofresources between rich and poornations.

Last~ minte a viceon living / Week

Okay, freshmen, this is 'it! R/O Week is finally here. Yes, that fun-filled week of excitement that you've heard so much about all summeris upon us and now you are going to get to ,xperience it. Here are thelast bits oaf information you will get to , oide you through it:

Fresh'man picnicR/O Week begins this afternoon with the Freshman Picnic. Barring

rain, the picnic will be held in Killian Court, which in case you haven'tfound it already, is located just inside those imposing gray buildings onthe east side of Massachusetts Avenue., The Court is one of the fewserene settings on campus and later on, it will be a good pla-ce to take abreak from the Institute if not actually get away from the Institute (it isafter all surrounded on three sides by MIT buildings).

At the picnic you- will be served some chickeln and be given severalwelcoming speeches. For the mnost part, the speeches are dry greetingrituals which must be endured, but almost every year the monotony isbroken by some student speaker who gets up and tells you either thatthe MrlrTadministration is a bunch ofjierks or that the Institute is one ofthe coldest places on the face of the earth. Don't be surprised if andwhen it happens.

Finally, someone will say, "'Let the rush begin!t" and you will be onyour way inlto the most exciting part of R/O Week.

- ~The rushThle rush begins as a quite literal rush of hundreds of fraternity

brothers and other independent living group representatives into- Kil-lian Court. Don't be hesitant about going off to the fraternities. Even ifyou are sure you don't want to join a fraternity, you should at least goand get a weekend's worth of free food. Who knows; you might evenrind that fraternities'aren't quite what you thought they were and youmight even want to join one.

On the other hand, if you think you do wanzt to join a frat, don'tthink you can join one by just saying, "'This place looks nice; i think I'llIlive here." In most cases, the fraternity brothers will have to decide thatthey want you first. This means that you will have to sell yourself toethem.

By Saturday, most of the dormitories will have started their ownrush. You won't have to sell yourself to the dormitory residents inorder to get into the dorm, but you should still look around for a placewhere you feel accepted since living somewhere where you- don't fit inisn't much fun.

By early next week you will probably have found a place to live.Then you can move on to the orientation part of R/O Week.

Academic orientation"Trying to take a drink from a firehouse" is the most commonly used

phrase to describe selecting courses at MIT. However, when you are afreshtman, the choice isn't quite so difficult; most freshmen take onephysics course, one math course, one chemistry course, one, humanitiescourse, and sometimes a seminar. The Freshmana Handbook gives youinformation on the various options.

*'hen you are making out your schedule~don't automatically sign upfor the most difficult options., Remnember this isn't high school, the dif-ficult courses here are really difficult. Unless you have a compellingreason to do otherwise, take the regular options.

Also, don't take as many courses as you possibly can. There is noreal need to graduate in three years, and you can overextend yourself ifyou try.

Finallly, don't try to establish yourself as a genius by trying to ace allyour courses. If you end up with a straight A average, people here aremore likely to think of you as a gnurd than as a genius. But do tryt topass your courses-, you don't really want to find out all aboutnegotiated withdrawal.

After you choose your courses, the final phase of R/O Week begins.

Activity and athletic orientationYou may be tired by this time but don't let this opportunity to check

out activities go by. Activities can give you some of the most rewardingexperiences of your college education.

Don't just join the types of activities you were involved with in highschool. Most Of the Executive Board members of this newspaper werenever even involved in journalism in high school.

And don't think you will be handed the most menial positions if youjoin an orF-jinizaltion, nearly all activities are understaffed and can give.you significant duties. So check otst the athletic and activity midwaysnext week.

-The endLike all good things, R/O Week must end, and unfortunately, it ends

with classes. So enjoy the week while it lasts, you'll never have anotherexperience quite like it at MIlT.

Finally, speaking of timetables,it appears the new Dean will betaking over in mid-stream.Even though the DSA review peo-ple are to be recommended formaintaining the "integrity" of thesystern, it's still going to be a lotlike hopping on a bronc after itsleft the chute.

While -}it will, be easier, ofcourse, for a Dean chosen fromwithin MIlT, let's hope the ad-visory committee and ChanlcellorGray do not let -this bias them,subconlsciously, against outsiders.Let's also hope the Deans' Officewill find the funds to physicallyrestructure itself to match its neworganization.-.After all, following nine

months of upheaval, this is notime for compromise.

By Kent Massey

By Steve SolnickLate August is generally known

as the time of the "'dog days" ofsummer. or, in some journalisticcircles, as the "silly season." Asyou might be able to guess, thisconjures up im~ages of new-spapermen sitting around theirtypewriters trying to make themost of a flying saucer -sighting oran old man wi th six ringers orsome big outdoor poicnlic.

Here at MIT^, however, muchof th-e journalistic season is the".silly season,"' in large part due tothe absentce of a journalismdepart ment at MIK T to supplycampus newspapers with a poolof Citizen Kane's-to-be.

Also, in large part, due to theabsence of more than one newrs-oriented camnpus newspaper.

But that's another story. WhatI'm concerned with now are threestories of capus matters whichwill emerge clearly from this "Xsillyseason" in the weeks to co me.They are what one administrationofficial classed as the "three U~s".

The first is the new dormn nextto New House. Se far this dormhas been lots of fuln. It was savedby a big last minute gift, it wasplanned with the help of studentsand we casn call it anything we likesince it hasn't got a name yet.

It becomes somewhat less en-joyable. though, after some morethought. Students on the planninggroup had originally hoped to usethe increased housing spaceprovided by the dorm to ease thehousing crunch felt by transfersand readmitted students. It seemsnow, however, that most of theadditional room will be used toincrease the incoming class size toi I100 while eIim i nat in gov~ercrowdilig. Just what thisneans for dreams bf added flex-ibility in the housing systemdeserves a closer look in weeks tocome.

Another itemi deserving of aclioser look Is the new report fromnthe Commlwittee on Campus dining.This is the little docurent whichwould among other things placecerw-in dormlitories on combi nedrvoom and board plans.

First: Relax, freshnzen, you'resaie! The plan would begin withthe Class of '84 and be phased inwith succeeding years.

Second: To all - let's all tryp todiscuss the report on the basis ofthe issues. T~hat is, personalities
