Long of Conell Unveksty pedcted a modeate ncease n Unted States eseach and development effots n the conmng yeas. Long was speakng at the Physcs Colloquum, "New Dectons, fo US Polces fo Scence and Technology." He futhe pedcted that we can easonably expect stong suppot fo basc eseach, though basc eseach pogams wll be- plagued by a lack of suppot fo students and pessue fo socetal pogams. Oveall, thee wll be a dual set of newe potes: cvllan eseach wll be nceased, though he beleves that olde pogams cannot be affected - although thee wll be pessue to cut back on mltay spendng. Long began by notng that t technology has splt the people, especally the geneal academc communty, nto two camps. Thee ae those who ae exceedngly skeptcal of the vtues of technology and feel that t s oveated and possbly even detmental. Some of these ndvduals beleve that, whle technology may have been all ght once, t has appoached ts,: lmts of gowth. : The othe goup stands on, Co le-e n a statement eleased Wednesday' M T Pesdent Jeome B. Wesne joned wth the pesdents of Bown Unvesty, Columba, Conell, Datmouth, Havad, Pennsylvana, Pnceton, and Yale n publcly denouncng the ecent escalaton of the wa n ndochna. The tmely announcement comes as all the top admnstatos ae cuently O;faced wth the pospects of 4 student stkes and elated?! ant-wa actons on the vaous, unvesty campuses. The ant-wa actons ae also elated -to an edtoal whch an n!~ newspapes of most of the C! nvolved unvestes eale ths week, callng fo a student stke t; aganst the wa. -The statement, epotedly X dafted befoe Tuesday nght's Havad Squae actons n Camnbdge, also dected the!attenton of the unvesty Pesdents to the poblems they.ae facng wth denonstatons n the nea futue. t called fo ant-wa actvty, but advocated ~Wokng wthn the poltcal ystlem to acheve the same end Gown the fact that scence has been benefcal on the whole. They say that they cannot see any easonable futue that does not eque geate quantty and qualty of technology. Many feel that thee s too much pue scence. 'They call fo appled eseach wth mmedate socal applcatons. Although such effots ae on the ncease, Long noted that most of the technology s amed at gowth and thee s vey lttle beng done n the aea of qualty of lfe. Howeve, Long -beleved that unvestes would be equed to play moe of a socetal ole.and move somewhat away fom pue scence. "We have a pogam, who has the polcy?" aptly descbes the somewhat chaotc eseach stuaton n the US. "We have no polcy, fo scence," sad Long. The US h a s m a n y nte-connected but ndvdualstc pogams. Long ponted out that ths s only possble n a vey ch county. Othe natons ae fa ahead of us n oganzed effot n that they have made fa moe delbeate attempts to set polces of natonal goals; examples ae Fance, Japan. West Gemany, and (Please tun to page 2) as othe moe mltant actvtes. All of the unvestes nvolved have seen ant-wa acton on campus aleady. Wednesday's statement has been the fst offcal wod fom college admnstatos snce the actons began, wth the excepton of Bown Unvesty, whose pesdent last week sent Pesdent Rchad Nxon a telegam deplong the bombng of Noth Vetnam. The text of the statement follows: Although none of us can speak fo hs nsttuton, all of us pesonally oppose a natonal polcy whch seems to be based on the belef that the Unted States must at almost any cost wn the wa n whch t s engaged n ndochna. The costs of such a polcy n human lfe and suffeng ae appallng and unjustfed. We theefoe deploe the bombng of Noth Vetnam and ts cvlan populaton. Ameca's wthdawal fom ths butal wa would epesent a ecognton that ths county can ovecome past mstakes, fo whch they must assume the By Noman Sandle Memoes of 1970 showed though at a meetng of the M1T Spng Ant-wa Commttee Wednesday, when some 350 pesons voted fo a stke begnnng today to potest the wa n ndochna. The stke vote comes followng smla votes at many othe colleges thoughout the Boston aea, as students plan nmassve demonstatons and ant-wa actons po to demonstatons to be held n New Yok Cty tomoow. MT's Spng Ant-wa Co m m t t e e s p o n s o e d Wednesday nght's meetng; howeve, seveal factons wthn the oganzaton became vey notceable thoughout the couse of the dscusson suoundng the questons of whethe to stke, the natue of the stke, and the duaton of the potest. t was decded that the stke would begn today, but would last ndefntely. Notceable at the meetng wee epesentatves fom MTSDS, the Socalst Labo Paty, the Student Moblzaton Commttee, and seveal fom the By Lee Gguee n the fst optstc fnancal note n many months, Chancello Paul Gay, addessng Wednesday's faculty meetng, noted a "modeately mpovng clmate" fo eseach fundng. n the mddle of a long dscusson of MT's Affmatve Acton Pogam, Gay commented that mnoty hng mght be helped by the upswng. n patcula, he epoted that both the Dape and Lncoln Laboatoes, as well as on-campus eseach, ae expeencng a "modeate gowth" n suppot afte thee yeas of declne at the two a ac at vwa.

We beleve full dsengagement should be pessed and oppose the contnuaton of the a wa fo any pupose othe than the mmedate potecton of Unted States toops n the pocess of wthdawal. All of us feel deeply the need fo Amecans of all ages to fnd nonvolent constuctve outlets fo the expesson of the vews, the dstess, and the concens. We suppot actvtes to ths end as long as they ae not at the expense of the ghts of othes o at the expense of the contnuaton of constuctve, educatonal, and scholaly actvty of unvestes and colleges. We theefoe suppot the effot of those who wok n behalf of canddates sympathetc to the vews o communcate the feelngs to appopate govenment offcals. We do not condone coesve acton by ndvduals o goups seekng to mpose the patcula convctons o concens on othes. People's Coalton of Peace and Justce, whch had sponsoed yesteday's mach fom the Common to Havad Squae. The SDS nfluence was quckly ascetaned when the mass of people voted ovewhelmngly to am the stke at both MT and the wa. oncally, the edtoal whch was publshed by a numbe of Boston-aea college newspapes eale ths week called fo a stke, but aganst the wa and explctly not aganst the unvestes. Othe membes of SDS and of t h e Spng Ant-wa Commttee mplcated MT Pesdent Jeome Wesne n the objectves.of the stke, clamng that he should be consdeed as one of the stke tagets, as he "nvented the automated battlefeld," now beng used by the mltay n ndochna. Thee was not a geat deal of nta-goup contovesy ove the mets of a stke at ths tme. Most of the pesons pesent wee thee n ode to voce the opnons fo the stke, so when t was detemned that a vote should be taken Wednesday :e poxs x se n zuz specal labs and thee yeas of constant fundng levels fo on-campus pojects. The faculty also head epots fom Pofesso Mathematcs Hatley Roges on the Semna/Reseach pogam and on expemental undegaduate educatonal pogams and fom Pofesso of Mathematcs W. Ted Matn on nomnatons to faculty commttees. n addton, the faculty unanmously appoved motons elmnatng the post of assstant secetay of the faculty and estuctung the Lbay System's Commttee. Acton on a moton to change the gade N to P was tabled due to dssatsfacton wth the wodng of the moton. The substance of the moton would be to change the lette gade tself wthout alteng ethe ts meanng o applcaton as cuently defned. Gay began hs epot wth a evew of MT's affmatve acton pogam snce Affmatve Acton (AA) Plannng, Gay explaned, was ntated thee yeas ago when then-pesdent Howad Johnson apponted an ad hoc Task Foce chaed by then-vce-pesdent Jack Runa. Repotng n Septembe of '69, the Task Foce ecommended that AA plannng should nvolve the ente communty and that each opeatng unt should set ts own goals. Tunng to last month's HEW epot on MT's AA pogam (see The Tech Mach 21, 24), Gay stated that the MT admnstaton saw seveal poblems wth the epot. Fst, he noted that whle the epot s dated on Mach 17, HEW's n v e s t g aton ended the pecedng Septembe and the data on employment used n the epot was only up to Novembe. Thee was no menton, he sad, of changes that had occued. Futhe, Gay clamed that the epot s EVE CENTS at tday athe than Thusday, thee was vey lttle opposton. When the stke queston eached the floo, t was passed almost unanmously, although detals had not yet been decded on the couse of acton to be taken. The couse of acton poved to be the pont whch dvded those n attendance, as many felt that the stke should begn on Thusday, whle othes agued that Thusday should be eseved fo a day of nfomaton fo students havng no knowledge of the stke poposal. Ths nfomaton campagn was appaently to be a huge undetakng. A suppot ally scheduled fo yesteday n the Sala nealy faled to matealze as appoxmately thty students showed up to plan last nght's teach-n. Sentment at the ally was not as enthusastc as Wednesday evenng's cowd, and topcs dfted fom the stke aganst MT because of the wa to a stke nsped by MT's stockholdngs n Gulf Ol Company, whose actvtes n Angola have allegedly hampeed Angola ndependence. selectve n ts use of data and that the data chosen wee moe fequently n eo than s easonable. Fnally, he stated that the chage that MT has not acted "n good fath" s not documented. MT's esponse to the epot, Gay told the faculty, would consst of thee pats. Fst, Pesdent Jeome Wesne, n a lette dated Apl 10, acknowledged the epot and commented on ts staleness. Second, Gay stated that MT would, ths week, send to HEW a pont-by-pont esponse to the epot. Thd, n May, the nsttute wll espond n detal to the ecommendatons. (Gay explaned that the eason the epot had so fa seen only lmted cculaton was that the admnstaton felt t was necessay to elease t along wth ts esponse, due to the staleness of the data.) Dscussng the stuaton n the aea of faculty hng, Gay emphaszed that "t's absolutely essental to go beyond tadtonal mechansms" n hng. "An magnatve seach poduces ndvduals fully up to the mak." Admttng that n the past, the hng of blacks has been lmted by the supply, he sad the stuaton "s lkely to be allevated because nsttutons ae nceasng the numbes of black students." Gay also noted that nceasng the numbe of black students at MT has been n the hands of the Task Foce on Educatonal Oppotunty snce Septembe of '68. Whle the goup, whch Gay chas, was ognally concened only wth blacks, he noted that t has also tuned ts attenton to Spansh-Amecans. An mpotant job fo the Task Foce, Gay commented, s "evesng the stuaton that has led to a decease of black applcants n the last two yeas." (Please tun to page 7)

On the whole, the ato of R&D} to the GSoss Natonal Poduct clmbed to 3.0%,,- n the md sxtes fom 1.7% n the fftes, but has snce dopped back to about 2.6%- Long analyzed these fgues, notng that n the ealy fftes the fedeal govenment was fundng about Half of all R&D. t made gans n the followng yeas, but snce the R&D budget has' been mantaned at appoxmately the same level. Thus, due to nflaton, the fedeal contbuton has actually declned- The money hats also been edstbuted. Cvlan pogams, defense, and AEC weapons wok have ganed at the expense of space. Those cvlan pogams that ae beng expanded nclude tanspotaton, enegy, c~ance, and an't-dsaste. These ae the pncpal pogam changes n the domestc aea, and planned expendtues that show healthy gowth: development of clean, fast tanspotaton should be up 46%; eseach fo a cance cue up 27%; wok on clean and bountful souces of electcal powe nceased 22%; eseach nto educaton up 39%; educton of the sks fom natual dsastes up 46% (ths s lagely the eathquakce watch pogam); pojects n housng, uban development, and povety elef to be nceased 37%; and study of the health effects of pollutants up 344%. Long agan asked hs audence to note how lttle of the pojected nceases lay n the aeas dealng wth the qualty of lfe. Long showed a sees of tables outlnng the expendtues n vaous fedeal and ndustal aeas. Of the total, basc eseach eceved some $2 bllon to $3.5 fo appled wok ad $2.5 fo development. Long ponted out the ways the bggest goups spead the money aound. DOD sends 60% to ndusty and keeps 30% n house. Unvestes eceve f o u - ffths of the Natonal Scence Foundaton funds and about half of those of HEW. NASA does 40%0 of ts wok n-house. New fedeal agences have come on the scene and seveal ae aleady mpotant. The Depatment of Tanspotaton, the Depatment of Housng and Uban De velopment, the Envonm enta Potecton Agency, and seveal moe that ae stll n the poposed stage may become majo souces of eseach evenue to unvestes. Long applauded the ncluson of the Offce. of Scence and Technology n AD, statng that t was about tme that technologcal poblems of developng natons wee ecognzed. Long felt that one of the most sgnfcant aspects of the past yea was Nxon's specfc efeences to pomotng scence n thee sepaate addesses: the State of the Unon, the budget message, and the Fst Specal Message on Scence and Technology. Thus, Nxon has aleted Congess and the county that scence s agan comng nto favo. The appontment of Wllam Magude, head of the New Technology Oppotuntes Pogam, has not come to much, stated Long. Howeve, he dd feel that Pete G. Petesos's becomng Secetay of Commece wl be mpotant. As fome chef offce of Bell and Howell and specal advso to the Pe sdent, Peteson can be expected to contnue to push the cause of technologcal advance. ~~~~~_] * AU students should obtan an examnaton schedule at the nfomnaton Cente, oom 7-1TL1.

Appeang on the Apl 25th ballot wll be a feld of 12 Democatc contendes fo the pesdental nomnaton, although only sx of the canddates have campagned at all n the Bay State. Among that goup of sx ae McGoven, Muske New Yok Repesentatve Shley Chsolm, Akansas Repesentatve Wlbu Mlls, Washngton Senato Heny (Scoop) Jackson, and Hatfod socal woke Ned con. Thusfa, the Massachusetts campagn has nolved only McGoveln, Chsolm, Mauske, Mlls and Coll, wth Jackson slppng nto Boston one day last week fo an unscheduled appeaance and athe quck depatue late that day. oncally, both McGovem and Muskce wee also n Boston the day of Jackson's shot campagn. Scholm New Yok's Shley Chsolm, who at the begnnng of the quest fo the pesdency shocked poltcal onlookes by assetng she was a seous canddate, has played pmaly to the college vote dung he appeaances n the Boston aea. Campagnng on the fact that she s a poltcal "feak," she states that she s actually challengng the Ame-'an poltcal system to elect a pesdent tuly of, by, and fo the people. n fact, the populst contenton has untl now been he majo campagn ssue. Beng bon and ased n the ghettos of New Yok, she has told suppotes that she s the only eal populst canddate n 1972, by vtue of the fact that she knows. the poblems confontalg the poo, the blacks, the Chcanos, and othe mnoty goups, once havng lved though t all heself. She has not totally evaded the ssues of the campagn whch othe canddates ae now debatng, howeve. She suppots busng to ve equal educatonal oppotuntes to poo chldena, and has, of couse, made publc he stand aganst the unestcted behavo of lage copoatons and publc nteest goups n poltcs, makng the compason that she s "unbossed and unbought" by specal nteest goups n Washngton. Thle Chsolm oganzaton s athe well-un and we'll-oganzed, but the campagn has lacked substance and wll contnue to do so unless the New Yok Conbgesswomanl eveses he campagn stategy to focus moe on the ssues and less on pesonaltes. McGoven Geoge McGoven appeas to be the fontunne fo next week's pnmay n ths bascally lbeal state, whch may be a blow to Muske, fom the neghbong state of Mane. McGosven has been spendng a consdeabble amount of tme n the Bay State, allyng wdespead publc suppot, much the same as he succeeded n donsg n the closng two weeks of the Wsconsnl pmay of thee weeks ago. len an effot to establsh contact wth the eve-mpo3ant labo and wokng class vote, McGoven has splt hs tme the past two weeks between the Massachusetts campagn, whee he campagns vtually unopposed, and the ace fo the Pennsylvana pmay, also scheduled fo next Tuesday. Towads the begnnng of the Massachusetts campagn, McGoven was attemptng to -eaffm hs sold campus suppot. Howeve, he has ealzed that the caffpus vote wll be a nea sue-thng fo Bm, and s concentatng hs appeasances on vaous shoe, textle, and leathe factoes outsde of the metopoltan Boston aea, whee suppot fom the wokng class wll be so cucal n wnnng the ente state fom Maske- Dung the campagn, the South Dakota lawmake has stuck close to the ssues, makng cetan that he s no longe seen as stctly a one-ssue canddate, a label he eaned fom ealy opposton to the wa n ndochna. He has been cam pagnng had n opposton to the ecent escalaton to the wa, and thusfa the only ssue whch he has been obseved to teat lghtly s that of aboton efom, a vey touchy ssue n the Catholc state of M5assachusetts, and he commented that he thought ths was "a state ssue, and not a dect concem of the fedeal govenment." McGoven stll consdes hmself tle undedog, but hs supeb oganzaton may pove to be agan the detemnng facto n next week's vote. call Ned Coll, pehaps the least known of all the canddates on the pmay tcket n Massachusetts, cakled a meetng of student newspape edtos eale ths week. He was hopng to gan Suppot not fo hs canddacy, but fo hs ant-povety pogams. At 32 yeas of age, Co1l s pevented by law fom sevng as Pesdent; howeve, he s unnng n the hope that he can bng cetan ssues to the suface. The black plastc at whch he ntoduced dung the 'canddates' debate wth Geoge McGoven, Edmund Muske, Sam Yoty, and Vance H~atke, whch peceded the New Hampshe pmay, s hs symbol of povety, volence, and acsm n Ameca. On Tuesday, Coll made t clea that when he efes to povety, he also ncludes 'povety of pupose" o apathy. He feels that wdespead apathy s somethng -whch has gown up n Ameca snce the ealy 1960's. n 1964, he stated what he tems a "pvate peace cops," an ogan - zaton called the Revtalzaton Cops. He sad, "The ealy sxtes was a tme when dealsm was looked upon as a good thng." The pogams of the Revtalzaton Cops nclude the tutong of 1Q00 students a week n Hatfod, and povdng tanspotaton fo famles to vst psones. Coll s hopng to convnce the TV netwoks to a a pogam ths fall, n whch a panel consstng of a pson nmate, a membe of the Congessonal Black Caucus, a peson epesentng the Amecan ndans and pehaps a student, would challenge membes of the Congess, the pess, epesentatves of the Amecan educatonnal system and othes, n the hope that some people wll ealze that they can do moe to help people. Coll seems to thnk that students have sentng themselves to othe goups. He says, " want to be a catalyst fo fomng coaltons." One such coalton he suggests, mght consst of students, unon leades, teaches and polce. AX these thngs show, as Coll says, "The Revtalzaton Cops s not just one happy btch sesson." Coll says that the opposton of the govenment s no excuse fo nactvty. "Agnew doesn't stop anybody fom gong to South Boston to tuto a kd." "Whle am cyncall on ou leadeshp, am not cyncal on ou ablty to change thngs." Akansas Repesentatve Wlbu Mlls, poweful chaman of the House WCays and Means Commttee, has been n the Boston aea to ally suppot fo hs lmted campagn- fo the Delmocatc nomnaton. Mlls began hs "quest" fo the nomnaton n a wte-n campagn dung the New Hampshe pmay, dung whch the Southen llegslato spent an estmated $150,000 fo the 5,000 votes he eceved. Hs campagn n Massachusetts appeas to be takng the same o smla shape, as he has but a small oganzaton, ncludng hs own bodyguads, and has been unnng a wde televson and newspape campagn, whch should have appoxmately the same effect as n New HPampshe.

By Lee Gguee Eale ths week,'sxteen college newspapes took edtoal stands suppotng a natonwde student stke. ncensed by the Nxon admnstaton's sudden escalaton of Anecan nvolvement n etnam, the edtos of those papes saw the need fo damatc acton: they chose to call fo a stke aganst the wa. The Tech was not among them. Ou decson was not an easy one - t was made afte seveal hous of heated dscusson among the membes of the pape's edtoal boad. t was not that we dd not oppose the wa- although we may dffe n ou poltcal vews none of us suppots the daly kllng n Vetnam. The essental queston n makng ou decson was not whethe the -wa should be opposed, but whethe a student stke, whch must necessaly be a stke aganst ou unvestes, s a poductve tactc. Would a natonwde student stke be the most effectve way to oppose a natonal' polcy of volence? Ou concluson was that t would not. A stke, no doubt, s a vey damatc way of demonstatng ou concen ove the wa: but s t damatc acton that s needed to effect a change n ths county's pohcy? Two yeas ago thee was a natonwde student stke that attacted a geat deal of attenton. Does the evdence show that t poduced any majo changes n the polcy of the Nxon admnstaton? A change n tactcs yes, but t appeas that the effect was-only supefcal. Besdes ths damatc effect, a stke would seve to do lttle moe than ease the conscences of those who patcpated. Wth almost no effot on the To the edto: Although we jon SDS, SAW, el al n condemnng -the Vetnam Wa as an atocty and a blot on the natonal conscence, we condemn wth equal fevo the methods employed by these goups n futheng ou common cause. We oppose the poposed stke on thee gounds: 1) t unduly cutals the student's ght to attend classes. MT each yea wtes a contact wth each of ts students that upon ecept of an exobtant sunm, t wll povde two full semestes of schoolng. Whle anyone who wshes to cetanly has the peogatve to skp classes fo the advancement of hs own cause, be has no ght to compel othes who may oppose hs cause to patcpate n hs potest. 2) Any effect the stke may have wll be to pepetuate the Vetnam Wa. Just as Geoge Wallace gans wth evey Black Panthe acton, Gallup Polls have consstently egsteed an ncease n Pesdent Nxon's populaty n the wake of cvl dstubances. t s clea that any acton on ou pat would seve only to heghten and haden the feas of Mddle Ameca, the people to whom Pesdent Nxon esponds. No do any stkes o moatoa exet a dect postve nfluence on ou natonal leades. That thee ae thousands of MT students and mllons of college students who oppose the Vetnam Wa comes as no supse to Rchad Nxon - he s aleady well awae of t. 3) Futhemoe, compellng absence fom classes wll dull any mpact the acton mght have snce t pemts poltcans to atonalze, "most students ddn't beleve n t anyhow." We conclude, theefoe, that the stke povdes an mmoal, neffectve and Counltepoductve answe to an mmoal, neffectve, and countepoductve wa. Lay Swummes'75 Rchad L. Gebel '75 Pete K. Hadley'72 To the edto: X am wtng to coect cetan of you statements concenng the ecent tashng of the CFA and BM buldngs. 1t s not tue that "ocks wee thown dectly at wndows n whch pofessos wee vsble." When the cowd aved at the buldng, no one.as vsble fom the outsde, and ndeed many people wee supsed when one (count 'emn, one) pofessos-lookng peson late came outsde of the CFA accompaned by a pat, a vast numbe of students wouldbe eleved of any sense of esponsblty they mght have felt to do somethng about the govenment's polces. Futhe, the effect of a stke s lkely to be a polazaton of feelng among students and also between students and much of the xest of the county's populaton. Many students would not suppot a stke: the ant-wa commtment s not that stong. Beng pessed by the moe mltant elements of the campus to stke, they wll nstead eact aganst any antwa effot. Two yeas ago, t became clea that ant-wa sentment among students was not shaed by the lage majoty of the naton's adults. Whle nealy evey student was appalled by the kllngs at Kent State, many adults wee not - they consdeed what happened a just etbuton fo the "dsupton" they saw students foment. A stke sn't lkely to wn the sympathy of many of these people. Unless a stke s coupled wth some sot of pogam, ts only effect wll be to make the patcpants feel -bette- any change n natonal polcy s lkely to only be supefcal. What ae the altenatves? One s a moatoum. A one-day stoppage would seve to damatze ou concen about the wa, but lastng only one day, would t have any long-tenm effects? n 1969 and '70, Nxon was able to gnoe a sees of majo moatoa whch ganeed fa moe suppot than any acton ths yea s lkely to. Yet at the tme he sad they ddn't matte. (Even though ths s an electon yea, such one-day events ae easy fot natonal Lettes o ',.Te Tech peson who was appaently a janto. Secondly, The Tech neglects to menton that one of the easons Ethel BM buldng was not tashed was the vsble pesence of people n the buldng, whom most of the cowd dd not want to njue. The "undentfed... mmgant fom Euope" who spoke at the st-n outsde the ecutment offces dd at least dentfy hmself as a Geman who had suvved Htle.. Not that ths poves anythng, but t dd lend a sense of dama to hs ugngs fo Amecans not to be "good Gemans." One of the easons the cowd was not notfed of the destnaton of the mach, as explaned epeatedly by vaous people (suely not all The Tech epottes wee asleep!) was pecsely because thee wee "polce watng n Havad Squae." thnk most people wee glad that the polce wee not gven advance notce of the taget of the mach. No one lkes to get busted. Howeve, the taget of the mach was obtanable by smply askng those n the cowd who had been desgnated "leadeshp" at the meetng at MT Sunday. Thus some people wee notfed even befoe the mach left Boston. t s futhe unfotunate that The Tech chose to quote someone who mpled that most of the. maches wee BU people. n fact, a smple, cusoy questonng of the cowd evealed students fom Havad, MT, Notheasten and othe schools, as well as fom Boston Unvesty. n addton, thee was a popoton who wee not gong to school at all, but wee wokng n Boston. thnk thee ae mpotant questons ased by the ssue of tashng: Patculaly, the tashng of an nsttuton so closely connected wth the begnnngs of the Southeast Asan Wa, wth ou polces thee, and wth Nxon's most mpotant foegn polcy advso cannot be esolved on a smple moal ~cale.

What ole students can play-n poltcs s undetemned. T.hs yea, howeve, we ae moe than nteested bystandes - we can take an actve ole f we choose to do so. Belevng, as we do, that the US should get'out of Vetnam, we could ty to communcate ou belef to othes - we could ty to "educate" them. Ths type of actvty was an mpotant pat of ant-wa actons two yeas, ago, now hadly any one talks about t. Ths type of educaton can't be accomplshed by wtng pamphlets and makng speeches - f we want to communcate a belef n the value-of human lfe we wll have to do t n a human manne.

We can look fo new ways of lvng among men so as to demonstate that human socety s possble. But ths calls fo long-ange commtment. And t also calls fo an end to the atfcal baes that sepaate students fom the est of socety. A natonwde student stke would only stengthen those baes by emphaszng ou appaent dffeences whle oveshadowng the eal dffeences between people.

Bannng smokng n classooms mght be necessay fo the equanmty of those who object, and ffty mnutes does not seem too long to ask a smoke to abstan. But bannng smokng n an examnaton would be an unfa buden on smokes; the tenson of an examnaton s geat enough aleady. A moe sensble plan would be to set asde smokng sectons, as ASH has poposed fo dnng ooms. Second, lobbes and codos have always been the pefeed place fo smokng -- fo the smple eason of coutesy to non-smokes. f smokng s banned n classooms, t wll--be patculaly mpotant to allow t n codos. Ths would be a way of etunng the coutesy. Ths ant-smokng dve appeas to be motvated by two athe unhealthy tends: neo-putansm and ovesell of envonmental ssues. Ou cusadng fends clam to be motvated by concen fo the health of non-smokes, but the atttude betays a sometmes-spoken, sometmes-unspoken condemnaton of smokes. Excusng ant-smokng measues on the bass that "they should qut anyway" s usupng the ndvdual's ght of choce. n a fee and open socety, t should be no one's busness what one man wants to do wth hs lungs. n patcula, t should not be any busness of the govenment. queston the ethcal and moal valdty of bannng televson advetsng of cgaettes; f cgaettes ae not llegal, why should t be llegal to advetse them?

On June 10; 1972, Nxon wll have een Pesdent fo pecsely the same ngth of tme whch Roosevelt and tunan eqed to moblze a foce n xcess of 12,000,000 fghtng pesonnel lnd defeat Gemany n Wold Wa 1; on ctobe 7, 1972, Nxon wll have been esdent fo exactly the same length of e equed to defeat Japan. Yet to ths ate, he has been unable to smply ~thdaw 500,000 men fom Vetnam. Knowng M. Nxon to be an honoble man, the votes should take hm at s Wod and vote fo a new Pesdent f e ncumbent has not been able to end he Amecan nvolvement n the wa by 7, Electon Day. M. Nxon's tack Cod, even wth espect to the two goals e has poclamed fo hs Vetnamn polcy, Poo.

Nxon had been n offce fo ove two yeas mplementng hs vaunted "secet plan" to end the wa, thee was only one canddate n the South Vetnamese pesdental electon. Relable souces have epoted that the Unted States ambassado to the Republc of Vetnam (RVN), Ellswoth Bunke, who s the ankng offcal epesentatve of PM.

Thus the Nxon Doctne has not nceased the ablty of the South Vetnamese people to detemne the destny n a democatc fashon and, n fact, thee was no choce fo the electoate a the 1971 electon, afte- two-and-one-half yeas of Nxon's Admnstaton, whle the 1967 electon featued thee canddates. Nomnee fo Best Move Dalogue of the Yea Move: The Godfathe Scene: Mchael Coleone poposng to Kay Adams Mchael: My fathe s lke any othe busnessman. He takes cae of the people who wok fo hm, just lke a Senato o Pesdent. Kay: Don't be nave, Mchael. Senatos and Pesdents don't kll people. Mchael: You'e beng nave. Rchad Nxon, whle pofessng deep pesonatl empathetc feelngs fo the POW's has, n fact, callously exploted the captued Amecans and the famles n a caefully ochestated publc elatons effot to sustan publc suppot fo hs wa polcy. He has mantaned that one of the easons fo keepng US toops n Southeast Asa s to effect the etun of the POW's. Agan, look at the ecod. n July, 1971, the Noth Vetnamese poposed a seven pont peace plan n Pas. One of the ponts of ths plan called fo the epataton of captued Amecans at the same ate that Amecan toops wee wthdawn fom South Vetnam. Le Duc Tho, a membe of the Noth Vetnamese Poltbuo stated that the ponts could be negotated sepaately. n othe wods, an exchange of POW's fo the emoval of Amecan soldes fom.the RVN could have been negotated. The Nxon Admnstaton obfuscated, efused to even dscuss ths poposal, and was able to counteact the assocated publcty by announcng Kssnge's msson to Chna at whch pont the matte was fogotten. Altenatvely, the Pesdent could have negotated the ssue n good fath and f he had detemned that the Noth Vetnamese posed unacceptable condtons, the matte could have been dopped. That he was not wllng to ty s an ndcaton of hs tue concen fo the POW's. An exchange of POWs n etun fo a cease fe and wthdawal of Amecan toops would have been a vable altenatve to the stategy Nxon adopted. Nxon's decson has esulted n the combat deaths of tens of Amecans and the captue of addtonal US foces not to menton uncounted non-combat deaths. (Accodng to the Defense Depatment the non-combat death ate s the same as t would be fo a smla populaton goup n the US. A "noncombat death not caused by enemy actons" s ecoded, fo nstance, when a helcopte cashes afte beng ht by gound fe o a solde happens to get n the way of a guela who s caeless wth a hand genade.).~_qn the othe hand, f the Noth Vetnamese offe had been accepted, all US toops and POW's would be safely home fom Southeast Asa. The Admnstaton objects to wthdawng all toops snce t clams that a bloodbath would ensue; last week ove 8000 Vet- namese ded n the wa. s Vetnamese blood any less ed than Amecan blood; s black blood any less ed than whte blood? On the whole, evaluatng M. Nxon's actons, not hs wods, t would seem that he has pefomed pooly, betayed the tust the county placed n m by electng hnm Pesdent afte he pledged to end the wa and bng the boys home, and should be voted out of offce n Novembe f the Amecan people follow the advce he gave them dung the 1968 campagn. One often heas that the last Amecan toops n South Vetnam would be vulneable to an.attack as they wthdew. That s tue but t also s a specous agument. Accodng to an unclassfed, study by pofessonal mltay analysts, the US has the capablty to wthdaw appoxmately 20,000 toops n 24 hous. Ths numbe could be nceased by dspatchng to Vetnam the US passenge shps whose buldes eceved govenment subsdes and pehaps the UJS 747 fleet. Tue, such a move would cause dscomfot n the domestc scene fo a few days but t would be one method of nsung that the last toops wee noabt klled befoe they could be wthdawn. The vast Amecan toop tanspot capablty coupled wth ovewhelmng a and naval supeoty would nsue the safety of the last US toops n Vetnam wthout focng the US to ely fo the safety on the Noth o South Vetnamese. Thee s an ncedble sense of deja vu about the ente stuaton today. Repots of a D)emnocatc Republc of Vetnam (DRV) attack on US naval foces n the Gulf of Tonkn ae banneed on the font pages, the campuses ae about to go on stke fo lack of a bette dea, and Hano and Haphong ae bombed to demonstate the Pesdent's esolve (N.Bd the announced pupose of the ad was to potect ou foces n the RVN, but the effect won't be felt thee fo seveal months; the tue pupose was to send a message to the Russans and to gve the Pesdent a poston of "stength" fo hs talks n MoSCOW). The Chaman of the Jont Chefs of Staff, Admal Thoman Mooe, jouneyed to Captol Hll to nfom the Congess of the latest battles. Mooes, advocatng a puely mltay soluton n keepng wth the tadton of othe Chamen of the Jont Chefs, complaned that "domestc estants" pevented US foces fom takng the equed mltay acton. Ths s akn to lamentng ove the excess of democacy n Ameca. "Domestc estants" ae what a democacy s all about. f thee wee no domestc estants ths would be a totaltaan dctatoshp. The esoluton the Pesdent has shown may aptly be temed Tonkn Gulf esoluton. Fotunately, ths tme aound the Navy ealzed the damage caused to the destoye Woden was caused by Amecan weapons and not by a DRV attack. Afte the 1964 Tonkn Gulf ncdnets, seven yeas passed befoe the tuth was evealed even though questons wee ased at the tme. A queston as to why the DRV chose ths patcula tme fo an attack athe than watng untl close to the electon. Pat of the answe may le n the appoachng monsoon season and pat of the eason may le n the tps to Pekng and Moscow. f the DRV had the foces posed about the DMZ eady to attack whle the Pesdent was n Moscow the Russans would have been able to use the theat of a DRV attack as a baganng chp n ode to gan concessons n the talks wth M.

Olvez ponts out that the numnbe of aests fo cmes on MT could possbly be hghe, "ou ecods only cove those aested by the Campus Patol - the Cambdge and Boston Polce foces have made some aests n the past."

Thus fa the job oppotuntes have been lght, but Langdale feels an upsuge of job notces should begn to come n about the begnnng of May. These notces wll all be placed on the job bulletn boad a the Student ALd Offce. "We once agan have set up ou summne job notebooks.

The numbes of vstos to MT s about the same as the numbe of people belongng to the communty, whch s appoxmately 30,000. Geoge Petevch, Admnstatve Offce fo Physcal Plant, ponts out that thee s an essental dffeence between stealng fom ndvduals and fom an establshed nsttuton. Many offendes consde ths to be qute a dffeence; they would steal fom MT and not have any second thoughts, but fom an ndvdual they just would not do t. "Vandalsm costs MET $40-50,000 pe yea o about $ 16 pe yea fo each student," emaks Petevch. Ths does not nclude theft, only acts of destucton such as beakng wltake some ntatve on the pat of that student to fnd a wothwhle job. "Students should stat makng contacts wth advses, pofessos, and nstuctos they know, to see what's avalable. n othe wods, my advce s that students just stat knockng on doos."

Wth ths n mnd the Student Ad Offce s next yea plannng to send notces to paents askng fo job leads. t s Langdale's opnon that not many students get the jobs fom the job notebooks, but he does feel that these books can seve as a stmulus fo the student wth ntatve.
