Aftershock ROCKS Ls Angees After 4-Day Lull LOS ANGELES TMES LOS ANGELES A magntude 4.5 aftershock to the Jan. 17 magntude 6.6 temblor Thursday mornng broke a four-day lull of only scattered mld aftershocks n the magntude 3 range, but scentsts reterated that such moderately strong earthquakes are to be expected. "The aftershocks are followng a very normal pattern for Calfornan earthquakes," sad a statement by four nsttutons actvely studyng the geology of the Northrdge earthquake - the Calforna nsttute of Technology, the U.S. Geologcal Survey, the Southern Calforna Earthquake Center at the Unversty of Southern Calforna and the Jet Propulson Laboratory n Pasadena. "f the aftershocks contnue at ths rate, the probablty of a magntude 5 aftershock n the next week s about one n fve," the nsttutons sad. "We expect one or two more aftershocks of magntude 4.5 or greater n the next week." Thursday mornng's aftershock, whch authortes sad would prompt some renspecton of buldngs for damage n the area near ts north San Femando Valley epcenter, was the 36th between magntude 4.0 and 4.9 snce the Northrdge earthquake. THE WASHNGTON POST Belarus Lkely to Replace Reforl-Mnded Leader MOSCOW A day after oustng ts reform-mnded leader, the Communstdomnated parlament of Belarus appeared lkely to replace hm wth one of two poltcans who strongly oppose radcal reform and support close economc and securty tes wth Russa. The vote on a successor to Stanslav Shushkevch s expected soon, and f t goes as most analysts predct, t could complete what has been a gradual but dramatc change of drecton for the former Sovet republc of 10.4 mllon, whch borders Poland on the west and Russa on the east. The effect of the shft, analysts say, would be to make Belarus less of an ndependent state and more a vrtual protectorate of Russa. Zenon Poznyak, leader of the opposton Belarusan Popular Front, descrbed the ouster of Shushkevch as "a creepng Communst coup amed at elmnatng Belarusan statehood and mposng a dctatorshp" under Prme Mnster Vyacheslav Kebch. n the poltcal struggle that has been gong o0u n Mnsk for months, Kebch, a veteran Communst and oppomne-t of free-market reform, has been Shushkevch's chef antagonst. n a parallel vote n parlament on Wednesday, Kebch survved a move to dsmss hm as prme mnster by a vote of 175 to 101.

The presdent dsmssed crtcsm that the new government would gut hs reforms as "excessve dramatzaton." Yeltsn's spokesman, Vyacheslav Kostkov, renforced the presdent's message Thursday, declarng that f there s even a partal return of old-style command economcs, "the presdent wll np ths tendency n the bud." The Russan leader's remarks appeared to respond to mountng fears, both nsde Russa and n the West, that the new Russan government wll mplement back-to-thefuture polces that wll roll back the free market advances of the past two years. Yet what remaned unclear was whether Yeltsn s losng control over hs own government, or whether he has made a calculated strategc retreat n the wake of last month's parlamentary electons, n whch pro-reform partes fared poorly. As usual, there were few clues about Yeltsn's thnkng. He has appeared n publc seldom durng the past several months and ssued only occasonal and laconc communques. Rumors of hs drnkng, hs ll health, hs despondency and hs detachment are part of Moscow's daly scuttlebutt. Some of Yeltsn's advsers, such as state televson chef Alexander Yakovlev, have told hm n the strongest terms that he must explan hmself and hs ntentons to the naton, often. Yeltsn has not heeded ther advce. Ella Pamflova, former mnster of socal protecton who qut Jan. 16 to protest the shft n government, sad she met wth Yeltsn on Wednesday to formally tender her resgnaton. "The presdent appeared to me to be sufferng and lonely," she sad on Russan televson Thursday. "My God! How few people there are on whom he can lean." Pamflova's remarks are part of a growng chorus of doomsayers. Crtcs as vared as the U.S. drector of central ntellgence, Yeltsn's dsmssed chefs for fnance and economcs, Western economc advsers and leaders of former Sovet republcs on Russa's perphery have all warned of dre consequences should the new Russan government change course. Yeltsn's comments came a day after Fnance Mnster Bors Fyodorov resgned n anger, accusng the new government of carryng out an "economc coup" led by "red managers." He sad the economc management of the country was now n the hands of "a cabnet of lfeless and ncompetent state plannng deology." Fyodorov was replaced by hs deputy, Serge Dubnn. Dubnn s well regarded as a technocrat, but s thought unlkely to be able to play as dynamc a role n the government as Fyodorov. He also wll not have the rank of deputy prme mnster that Fyodorov enjoyed. Along wth former economcs chef Yegor Gadar, who qut Jan. who had been declared KA/BNR were ndeed klled as reported." The Senate vote Thursday followed hours of sometmes passonate debate Wednesday afternoon. The basc argument was ths: Would lftng the trade embargo encourage Vetnam to contnue makng remans, documents and artfacts avalable to U.S. teams searchng for those stll mssng, or would t remove all leverage and reward Vetnam even as t contnues to avod tellng the truth? But n a larger sense, the debate was about whether the war s fnally over or not. Kerry argued that more than half of Vetnam's 70 mllon people are under the age of 24 and had nothng to do wth the war. Mantanng a U.S. trade embargo whle Japan, France and other economc compettors are dong busness there "s an embargo aganst ourselves," Kerry sad. The resoluton, attached to the Sae Department authorzaton bl, does not call for establshng dplomatc relatons wth Vetnam or sendng an ambassador. That step appears to be years away, even f the trade embargo s lfted soon. Among the senators who joned McCan and Kerry n votng for the resoluton were Sam Nunn, D-Ga., charman of the Armed Servces Commttee, and John W. Warner, R-Va., the commttee's secondrankng Republcan; Barbara Mkulsk, D-Md., a longtme supporter of veterans' groups; John Glenn, D- Oho, a former Marne Corps offcer; and Nancy Landon Kassebaum, R-Kan., a former member of the Senate Select Commttee on POW- MA affars. tdfeds erem 16, Fyodorov was regarded as the most promnent champon of the free market n the cabnet. Whle a number of reformers reman n the upper echelons of the government, none s as regarded as so hgh-profle, well-connected or energetc as Gadar and Fyodorov. There are already sgns that the new government, led by Prme Mnster Vktor Chernomyrdn, wll abandon free-market practces and renew massve subsdes to bloated and neffcent state factores and farms. Chernomyrdn has spoken of "non-monetarst" methods of controllng nflaton, whch crtcs have taken to mean prce controls. Hs agrculture mnster has spoken of pumpng bllons of dollars n subsdes nto alng farms and agrcultural enterprses begnnng ths year. Such a spendthrft polcy mght temporarly blunt complants from workers who have not been pad full salares lately and managers whose perqustes have been squeezed by the tght money polces of recent months. But n all probablty, the rapd prntng of money needed to resurrect Russa's wasteful farms and vast, dlapdated ndustral base would also lead to nflaton well beyond the 1993 rate of around 900 percent. Crtcs ncludng Fyodorov and CA Drector R. James Woolsey predct such a course would spark socal upheaval n Russa's already unstable poltcal clmate. A leadng pro-reformn bloc n the Russan parlament urged Yeltsn Thursday to fre Chernomyrdn. But Yeltsn, for the tme beng at least, appears to have gven hs prme mnster vrtual carte blanche. Chernomyrdn, 55, a former boss of the Sovet ol and gas ndustry, has shown n many statements that he s no frend to reform and no student of economcs. w r z k 9 LL f -lp

Heymann, the Justce Department's second-rankng offcal, announced hs resgnaton Thursday, ctng a lack of "chemstry" wth Attorney General Janet Reno and dfferences n ther management styles. Deputy Attorney General Heymann's surprse departure comes at a tme when a number of hgh-level postons reman unflled at the Justce Department, promptng congressonal crtcsm that the Clnton admnstraton has left too many crtcal postons vacant more than year nto offce. t also follows mountng complants from both wthn and outsde the department over what crtcs descrbed as Heymann's lack of axau, o lu, d otxaso au :.. o lzl y.to follow through on key department ntatves, ncludng the crme bll and revew of mandatory mnmum sentences.

"That s a judgment share." Reno sad that no successor had been pcked and Heymann wll reman n offce untl a replacement s found. Pressed about whether Heymann had been fred, Reno prased Heymann's contrbutons to the department and sad durng her weekly news conference: " thnk we reached a mutual agreement."

The admnstraton's proposal, outlned at a Thursday mornng brefng at the Commerce Department, would extend exclusve federal jursdcton over companes that offer both cable and telephone servces or other two-way, broad-band dgtal communcatons servces. Currently, telephone companes are regulated as so-called common carrers by both state and federal regulators. By contrast, cable TV operators have no oblgaton under federal or state law to provde unfettered access to anyone wth the means to pay to transmt communcatons.

Although the four natons, collectvely known as the "Four Frends of the U.N.

However, because we provded selecton numbers to the departments ths early, they were able to add fve new sectons. There s a tradeoff between requrng early responses and havng enough tme to act on the responses; n ths case, thnk havng 125 new seats added to the most popular classes shows that we made the rght decson. The reason for ntally havng two lotteres was to allow for the nevtable uncertantes of a new system. Now that the system has been proven to work, we agree wth Takamor that the advantages of a sngle lottery outwegh the dsadvantages, and consequently, n the future we wll hold a sngle lottery on regstraton day. f students make ther selectons early enough, we wll stll be able to provde ths nformaton to the departments n tme for them to add new sectons before the lottery. - - By Anders W. Hove ASSGCA TE OPNON EDTOR When most of us thnk about bg government, we conjure up mages of some dark, smoky room where fat, ugly Washngton pols would gather to fgure out the best way to screw ther consttuents. 'Wel 've got news for you. Lookng for bg government? t's rght under your tres. n 1956 Congress passed the nterstate Hghway Act. The nterstates had been promoted by an rresstble array of nterests, ncludng the automoble, steel, tre, asphalt and cement ndustres. Because the new roads would lnk almost every cty of over 50,000 people, the bll had the support of almost everyone n Congress. t s sgnfcant that the largest publc works project n the hstory of government was proposed by a republcan presdent, Dwght Esenhower. Under the provsons of the 1956 law, 41,000 mles of dvded, lmted access, mult-lane hghway were lad down. Hundreds of thousands of people worked, and stll work, to make sure that mddle class consttuents n almost every congressonal dstrct have somewhere to drve ther cars. Government poured more concrete than would be needed to buld Los Angeles hundreds of tmes over. By buldng the nterstates, government twsted the free market n several mportant ways. Of course, no prvate frm has ever constructed a freeway. But before the government began subsdzng automoble frms and truckng companes by buldng ther roads for them, the country dd have a perfectly vable transportaton system: the ralroads and streetcars that had drven the economy for ffty years. Prvate corporatons - the ralroads - somehow managed to shp both goods and people all around the country n a tmely and effcent manner. People n many towns used to set ther clocks by the whstle of a tran. By 1970, almost all commercal passenger lnes had gone out of busness, and so had a number of key freght lnes. The government became worred that ts freeways would put the ralroads out of Busness altogether - so worred, n fact, that t got nto the ralroadng busness tself. Frut s now shpped from LA to Boston All n all, we beleve the system worked very well: 1119 students of the 1206 who entered the lottery (over 90 percent) got ther nrst-cnoc-e class. AD Takamor notes, even he got the class he wanted! (Enrollment for the second lottery, for those who dd not lke ther ntal assgnment or dd not enter the frst lottery, remans open untl noon on Jan. 27, and results wll be returned by mdnght of that day. To enter the second lottery from Athena, type "add hass-d" followed by "xenroll" or "enroll.") Andy Oakland, Programmer, Dstrbuted Computng and Network Servces Proportonal Representaton Not the Answer n readng Lan Guner's argument for proportonal representaton [The Tech, Jan. 191, was struck by how close she has come to the classc arguments of free market advocates. Realzng the tyranny of the majorty, she proposes gvng a certan number of votes to each person. These are then expended as they are used on a number of rval optons. Thus, the majorty loses ts power as t uses up ts votes, whle the mnorty may concentrate and hoard ts votes to wn targeted ssues of great mportance. n a market system, where people "vote" wth ther dollars, the wealthy are lkewse on government trans; the Conral tracks are rght over here by Vassar Street. Government dd not run prvate transt out of busness on ts own. n 1925 General Motors began ts campagn to drve Amercan streetcar lnes out of busness. t succeeded n buyng up and tearng out streetcar lnes n such ctes as Portland and New York. n 1938, GM, Standard Ol, and Frestone Tre & Rubber formed a subsdary called "Pacfc Cty Lnes" to dsmantle lnes n San Jose, Stockton and Fresno. n 1943 the same three companes bought out the tracks n 19 more ctes, ncludng the "Bg Red" lne n Los Angeles. n 1949 a federal grand jury ndcted GM for crmnal conspracy n the "Bg Red" case, and threatened further legal acton. Nevertheless, GM managed to rp out over 100 streetcar systems natonwde by By the tme anttrust nvestgators could go to work, the deed was done. Amercan mass-transt was dead. 0M L r, ,, - - C C s - -- r -s ,, forced to expend ther money n order to purchase goods n the marketplace. As they do so, they are left wth less money to compete wth those who have hoarded t for certan mportant ssues lke attanng the basc goods requred for lfe. Replace 10 votes wth 10 dollars and the proportonal votng system becomes almost a market votng system. The only problem wth Guner's system s that the number of votes allocated remans fxed. Whle the mnorty gans some power, they wll be doomed to only wnnng those fewest ssues of greatest mportance because the majorty wll always have more votes from the start. The market addresses ths problem by grantng more dollars to each person who produces better or cheaper products for the whole. Thus a very resourceful mnorty can buld up "votes" n the marketplace by "votng" wsely n ways that produce more for the whole. Better stll, the folks who ddn't gan 'votes" stll wn as here are better products for the whole to partake of. Supporters of proportonal representaton should concur that the best vehcle for mnorty empowerment s n fact a free marketplace of both products and deas. Resolute support of the Bll of Rghts and lmtaton of government ntrusveness wll go a lot farther towards that end than new votng schemes.

Chung OPNON EDTOR The recent passage of the Brady b puts a fve-day watng perod on the purchase of frearms. The tme s to be used to do background checks on persons purchasng guns. f the buyer s found to be a convcted felon, mentally unstable, or otherwse dangerous, the gun wll not be sold to hm. Also, ths tme s alleged to reduce the chances of "passon crmes" and sucdes by provdng a "cool-down" perod for the would-be assalant. However, watng perods for gun purchases are neffectve n reducng volent crme, and n no way attack the root of the problem. Perhaps the most sgnfcant statstc n analyzng crmnal gun use s the result of a 1985 Justce Department study. Accordng to ths report, "only 21 percent of felons' handguns were obtaned through retal channels." f background checks are done, ths fgure wll certanly declne as crmnals who mght ordnarly purchase guns from legtmate sources change ther shoppng habts. On televson news, gang members across the naton commented that f background searches are put nto effect, then there wll stll be numerous sources avalable to obtan guns on the black market. r n rl The underlyng premse of nearly every type of gun control s that crme wll be reduced. Ths s not necessarly the case. Gun control nevtably delays the purchase of a weapon by honest people who need a gun for self defense. Sometmes extreme crcumstances requre quck response. For nstance, several years ago, a seral kller was on the loose n Ganesvlle, Florda. Naturally. Deople who wanted to defend themselves chose to do so, be t wth guns, knves, or baseball bats. A 1985 Natonal nsttute of Justce report by professors James Wrght and Peter Ross found that "the armed ctzen or the threat of the armed ctzen s possbly the most effectve deterrent to crme and the naton." More than 1,800 prsoners were ntervewed, and t was found that "85 percent agreed that the 'smart crmnal' wll attempt to fnd out f a potental vctm s armed; 75 percent felt burgars avoded occuped dwellngs for fear of beng shot; 53 percent dd not commt a specfc crme for fear the vctm was armed, and 57 percent of 'handgun predators' were scared off or shot at by armed vctms." Many acts of volent crme, ncludng rape and robbery, have been prevented through effectve and proper use of a frearm. Accordng to "Gun Rghts Fact Book" by Alan Gottleb, handgun use n self-defense was the best Angeles. 15,000 people went to work on the new trans on ther frst day of servce. The nstant success of the lne s even more ncredble when one consders that t was bult n four days, statons and all. Offcals of the Calforna Transportaton Authorty smply borrowed prvate freght lnes and purchased a few passenger cars on cheaply - a smple matter compared wth the bllons of dollars t wll take to rebuld those collapsed freeways. The ease wth whch the lne was opened begs the queston: Why don't we buld more such lnes? Calfornan polcy makers had been workng on ral-transt long before last week's quake. n 1991 eager Angelenos packed the cty's newly opened 114-mle "Metro Lnk," bult entrely wth publc funds. Though fares were hgh, the system took aan estmated 40,000 cars off the roads "per peak traffc perod." The $1 bllon prce tag on a complete, 450-mle system shocked some; whle others made prce comparsons wth constructon on the valley's freeways. The cost ssue was drven home n 1992, after the completon of the 10-mle, $10 bllon "Century Freeway." When the new route opened, transt authorty offcals announced that no major freeway would ever be constructed n the greater Los Angeles area agan. Massachusetts offcals made a smlar announcement n the 1960s, after proposals for a concrete corrdor lnkng Beacon Hll and Needham were scrapped even after the groundbreakng. nstead the already bulldozed route was planted wth trees. Roxbury Communty College was constructed at what would have been an nterchange. Wth the -- -j r -- -m 6 n T_ age 5 preventon aganst crme (66 percent rate) from results of Chcago robberes n the 970s. However, t s true that vctms have used guns ncorrectly: for nstance, shot someone wthout proper justfcaton, shot to kll when not necessary. t s therefore logcal that anyone who purchases a gun should have hs entre famly go through a gun educaton and handlng semnar seres. Whether the "rules of the famly gun" are taught wthn the household or by an authorty, t s vtal that those around a gun know how t s to be used. Such programs surely would be an effectve way of promotng gun safety and awareness, and a better use of publc funds than payng for background checks. The smple fact s that crmnals wll fnd a way to commt crmes. Whle t s a sound dea that background checks be made to determne whether a person s trustworthy of ownng a gun, they do not justfy the vast amounts of effort and money requred to establsh an effectve system. f an mplemented system were deal, the results would be obtanable nstantly. Ths means that gun dealers or polce statons would have establshed databases and advanced computng systems. n emergency cases, polce offcals would have authorzaton to allow gun purchases f the usual route of procedure s blocked. However, f ths deal system were n place, crmnals would become aware of t and obtan ther guns elsewhere. n the unlkely case that all frearms n the world were confscated, they would use dfferent weapons or even fabrcate ther own guns. There s lttle evdence that gun control s effectve n curtalng crme. n fact, n the 1960s, New Jersey and Hawa mplemented strct gun control laws only to see murders, rapes, and robberes soar by staggerng amounts - up to 326 percent over the followng fve years. Therefore, mplementaton and mantenance of watng perods and background check equpment wll cost large amounts of tme, money, and taxpayers' money, only to result n an essentally useless network. Such resources would be better used n punshng convcted crmnals more severely so that further crme s prevented, as "60 percent of volent offenders were rearrested for a felony or msdemeanor," accordng to James Wootton, presdent of the Safe Streets Allance n Washngton, DC. mposng a watng perod and rasng lcense fees for gun dealers wll be neffectve n reducng volent crme n the US. ocus Must Shft Toward Provdng Publc lansdortaton w. t _-- r- A _ %-.s or an.nuve, rrom rage 4 One of the largest sperm banks n the Unted States s lookng for donors, ML 3 got ts start at MT... v JL Century Freeway, t seemed that polcy makers n another L.S. ctb had learned ther lesson.

By Mark Messer SPECAL TO THE TECH. mage may not be everythng to the Kronos Quartet but t certanly counts for a lot. Snce the Quartet's ncepton n 1973, the twce-grammy-nomnated chamber group has often seemed to market tself more as a rock band than a strng quartet. Assertng ther ndvdual personaltes wth leather boots, flashy shrts, and n one case an elegant gown, the members of Kronos present a dstnctly urban edge whch carres over nto ther musc. The n(ugtett ha aggressvely d~vc!gtrpcn a completely contemporary repertore commssonng works from composers all over the world. The range of ths repertore s vast, ncludng more conventonal works by Shostakovch, Webernm, and Barber; mnmalsts such as Terry Relly; Steve Rech, and Phllp Glass; to less lkely sources lke Charles Mngus, Howln' Wolf and Jm Hendrx. How many other quartets possess the ablty and atttude necessary to go from the rapd, volent stylstc and dynamc shfts of hard-core composer John Zorn to the ntensely ntroverted ptch exploratons of Morton Feldman's 80 mnute Pano and Strng Quartet? Thus one could say that the program presented at Jordan Hall on Jan. 22 as part of the Bank of Boston Celebrty Seres was typcal Kronos. None of the peces on the program was more than a year old, and the fve composers came from around the globe: two Amercans and three representatves of former Sovet States from Uzbekstan, Russa, and Azerbajan; three women, two men. The program opened wth Dmtr Yanov- Yanovsky's Chang Musc V. Ths s the fourth n a seres of works for varous nstrumental combnatons nspred by the tradtonal Chang percusson musc of the composer's natve Uzbekstan. Yanov-Yanovsky was the youngest composer on the program and hs musc was also some of the freshest. The only pece on the program to use no electroncs, Chang Musc V exploted the extended technques avalable to Kronos. From the long easternnspred glssand of the medtatve ntroducton to the shmmerng hgh harmoncs of the volns, the openng secton contrasted the strng-quartet-turned-percusson-ensemble that ntroduced the second theme. Rappng the bodes of ther nstruments wth ther fngers, the muscans dsplayed ther uncanny rhyth- FESTVAL JAZZ ENSEMBLE nternatonal Assocaton Of Jazz Educators Conference. Sheraton Boston Hotel.

These performers are content to smply play old warhorse tunes that are well known and have been crtcally acclamed for the past mllennum. Ths s especally true n the Classcal world, where there are lterally hundreds of pansts who specalze n playng peces of only a sngle composer, or perhaps a certan perod. On the other sde are performers who put ther talents to another use. Whle they may play a few relable standbys once n a whle, they are much more progressve. They beleve n the growth of musc, and wll dare to play peces that are fresh, new, and nterestng. Not everythng that s new s good, of course, but n the name of progress they serve an mportant role n the musc world. The MT Festval Jazz Ensemble les n the second of these two spheres. For three decades or so, ths group has premered many peces from new (and n some cases unknown) composers, wth lttle fanfare.

To ther credt, ther setlst was rather progressve; some of the peces were wrtten recently by composers present n mc sense executng Yanov-Yanovsky's ntrcate and wtty rhythmc combnatons. Lke many post-mnmalsts, Yanov- Yanovsky has rejected both seralsm and mnmalsm, drawng upon ethnc sources for hs harmonc and rhythmc vocabulary. Hgh voln tremolos gradually asserted the openng texture, brngng the pece to a concluson. From the youngest composer, the program shfted to ts most experenced. Although extremely thoughtful, Sofa Gubadulna's Quartet No. 4 also contaned some of the least satsfyng passages n the frst half of the program. As they would throughout the nght, Kronos took advantage of dramatc lghtng effects for ths pece. From complete darkness the pece opened wth a snakng quaver on ltape. A va. t ~ Cl'vallvC occlud anll attempt to recreate ths effect, as all the players rapdly bounced ther bows off ther strngs. Ths moment hghlghted what kept the pece from workng: although the Gubadulna explored many nterestng textures, ncludng a Bartok-esque canon, sectons callng for the use of mallets to pluck the strngs, etc., she faled to connect these sectons, makng them seem almost arbtrary. The musc was not entrely nelegant, however. The fnal mnor sonortes of the pece, accented by a truly nspred sparse lghtng of the organ n Jordan Hall, effected an mpressvely mperal mood before the pece faded nto the darkness from whch t had emerged. The gem of the program proved to be Los Verk's Rver Beneath the Rver. Wrtten n what the composer descrbed as "exponental form," the pece employed a wde varety of textures and harmonc areas to gradually and contnually develop a sngle muscal dea. Rhythmcally ths pece was the most ntense, layerng complex fgures one on top of the other whle stll clearly artculatng a constant, drvng quarter note pulse. As the pece drove "exponentally" to ts clmax, frayng more than a few bow strngs, the tenson of the openng phrases was uncorked as the process creatng the musc snowballed nevtably towards ts end. Franghz Al-Zadn's Mugam Sayag concluded the frst half of the program. Before the pece, whle they were tunng, the members of the Quartet left the stage one-by-one, leavng the solo cello n the spotlght. The swoopng cello ostnato was joned by the vola from off-stage, gradually addng volns and. Smulatng gutar feedback wth raucous double stops, the cello called the players back to the stage. Muscal fragments darted across the Quartet as f at the tp of an artst's brush n a vrtuosc dsplay of the complete ensemble. the audence. However, f there were a Ten Commandments for muscans, one of them would be to choose peces that sut the performer's sklls. True, t s mportant for any performer to take a chance every now and then, but the key s to pck somethng that s wthn hs or her lmts. n ther performance on the 13th, the MT ensemble's choces volated ths rule several tmes, thus yeldng mxed results. The problems began wth ther frst pece, an arrangement of Ray Charles' "Rockhouse." The brass secton, n part perhaps due to dffcultes wth the sound system, sounded cohesve but terrbly harsh. Ths led rght nto the alto saxophone solo by Damon Bramble '97, whch was amless and more of a fnger exercse than anythng else. The rhythm secton dd provde excellent support, however, and the hghlght of the pece came towards the end, wth an excellent, ncsve solo from gutarst Dan Hosken G. The band contnued wth a composton by Darrell Katz that was enttled, "Varatons on a Theme - Manc Depresson." Ths was a dubous choce for several reasons. For one thng, the ttle tself was msleadng - ths composton was not a theme and varatons, but a sort of medley based on Jn Hendrx's "Manc Depresson." n fact, as even the composer hmself stated, only perhaps a thrd of the pece was composed by Hendrx - and even that part was dffcult to dscern. Worse stll, the performance tself was muddled, as the band had serous problems keepng together and n tme. Add yet another msguded alto saxophone solo from Bramble and an annoyng, half-hearted, msft gutar chord at the very end of the pece, and the result was a Drawng mostly upon materal from ndan classcal musc, Al-Zadn brought together many elements effectvely, ncludng a balletlke second theme, electronc effects such as added reverberaton and a taped Tamboura part, vocal effects, percusson parts, and cello lnes vergng on hard blues. As the pece wound down the players agan left the stage, leavng the solo cello alone - a ghost of the openng strans. The second half of the program was dedcated to Lee Hyla's settng of Allen Gnsberg's Howl. Wth Gnsberg hmself readng hs own work on tape, the Quartet's role was somewhat ambguous.' Hyla wanted to "have the musc emerge from the poem/readng and then, as the pece evolves, have the musc become ndependent, commentng and colldnlg wtl the poemul alu tllowlls'lt llto a varety of textural relefs." However, t worked n just the opposte sense. Whle the Quartet stayed n step wth Gnsberg's readng, both the musc and the readng were garbled as they competed for the same space. As the Quartet's role changed, Gnsberg's ncessant drawl became more dstnct. Gradually the poem domnated the pece and the',, musc became almost dstractng as Gnsberg generated an mpetuous pulse wth hs Whtman-nspred lsts, and dramatc relef wth hs wt. Overall the musc seemed nconsequental, and made the pece on the whole harder to understand, sendng more than a few n the audence to the exts. Those who left, however, would surely regret havng done so f they knew what they'd mssed. Breakng the barrer that had dstanced the muscans from ther audence all nght, frst volnst Davd Harrngton ntroduced the encore as "the only thng we have that could follow Howl : Mchael Dorty's Elvs Everywhere." ncorporatng a male Elvs mpersonator, female voce, and honkytonk bartone saxophone on tape, the Quartet booge-wooged through an rreverent and eclectc shuffle that was part Vegas revew and part free jazz. Though the effect was hystercally humorous, causng the audence to laugh out loud, Kronos executed the pece wth the same ntensty and precson as every other pece on the evenng's program. The Quartet let the voces on tape acknowledge the audence and say good-bye. "You've been a great audence, thank you very much," Elvs sad before we were told. "Elvs s leavng the buldng. Rght about now, Elvs s leavng the buldng. Elvs has left the buldng..."

The Kronos Quartet wll perform at the New England Conservatory. Setlst produces mxed results for jazz ensemble huge bomb. That was not the most dsappontng pece, however. That award goes to ther last number, "Blues for Red" by Jamshed Sharf. f the band had showed poor judgment before, here t reached ts clmax. Ths pece was smply too techncally dffcult for the ensemble to handle. t had syncopated chorus and response sectons wth very demandng rhythm patterns. n ths case, the band smply was not up to the task and was dsorganzed, so that the pece stumbled and fell to peces. The only flashes of lfe were a stellar, pontlst solo from Solomon Douglas '96 on pano and a fery soprano saxophone solo from Susan Ward G, but these turned out to be only temporary resptes from utter chaos. However, all ths should not cast a pall on the entre performance. Wtness "Lola," by Gullermo Klen. n ths pece, the band showed welcome restrant. Ths was a charmng tune that featured a nce blendng of the saxophone secton. The solos, too, were an mprovement. The trombone solo by Erc Scherer was muted and mellow - almost lke a lonely old man on a park bench, wavng hello. The pano accompanment by Douglas was ary and lght; perfect n that t ddn't obscure the solo but played around t and complemented t. Ths pece showed the band n ts best lght, wth excellent use of solosts, and nterestng muscal contrasts. As f to strengthen ths pont, the very next pece, John LaPorta's "Crossng Tme Zones," succeeded for many of the same reasons that "Lola" dd. t contaned two fascnatng, contrastng solos by Josh Goldberg '96 on alto saxophone and Joel Johnson G on trombone; Goldberg's solo was brllant and showed good technque, whle Johnson's was less flamboyant and more melodc. The key for both solos was that they were both n context and made muscal sense wthn the pece. The rhythm secton kept the band n tme, and the ensemble truly swung. Perhaps ther performance of Bob Neske's "Teacher" was most ndcatve of the entre show's effect. Here agan the band had serous problems wth the rhythmc arrangements; the trumpets sounded ncoherent and out of tme. What saved the pece was yet agan some superb s?,' work. Bramble redeemed hmself on tenor saxophone and fnally showed some of hs tremendous talent. nstead of tryng to play as many notes as possble, he started phrasng notes together and came up wth some beautful melodc swrls. He was joned Al Azarbayanjan G on Flugelhorn for a duet of sorts that showed excellent ntonaton. Afterwards, the lstener may reflect on the facts: True, the Festval Jazz Ensemble may have overreached tself n ts setlst choces. True, they may need work on stayng together and n tempo. However, the dazzlng array of solos throughout the performance practcally kept the lstener rooted to hs seat. The rhythm secton, especally Douglas and Hosken, played admrably wth lttle attenton from the audence (perhaps they should have been gven a separate ovaton!). And most of all, despte a few stumbles, the band accomplshed what t set out to do: wth pardons to Gene Roddenberry, t sought strange, new musc, to boldly go where no muscan had gone before.

Mchael Andresen ARTSEDTOR ust as too many cooks can spol a broth, so can too many subplots run a move. Slnk tres to delver a heartwarmng tale about a woman strugglng to redscover herself, a passonate love story, and a grppng murder mystery plot all at the same tme. Unfortunately, t fals on all three counts on what s an ntrgung, f unnecessarly complex, story lne. Madelene Stowe s Emnma, a volnst for the alternatve band The Drovers, who was blnded n chldhood by an abusve mother. She regans her sght followng eye surgery. Though her vson remans very blurred, she sometmes gets a clear "flashback" of ssomethng she had actually seen the day before. t s n ths sort of flashback that Emma wtnesses a seral kller escapng the scene of a mur- She goes to the polce, but they don't She goes to the; polce, but they don't beleve her because she s stll mostly blnd. When DptecrtveL John qhstrom_ ^ta;'^ Qunn) s assgned to the case, however, he has no choce but to beleve that she actually dd see the murderer. He struggles throughout the move to protect Emma from the murderer, who knows he was seen, and to fnd ths man before he strkes agan. f ths was the only plot, then the flm mght have worked. As t s, the two subplots hamper the executon of the murder mystery. Emma's struggle to deal wth self-mage problems that go along wth reganng her sght s gven some attenton at the begnnng of the move, but s not mentoned agan. A female reporter does a feature on Emma's story, and durng the ntervew Emma keeps lookng from the reporter to her own body. Havng no concept of what consttutes beauty, Emma asks the reporter, "Are you pretty?" Unfortunately ths self-examnaton never reaches a concluson. Emma also works through feelngs she has for the mother who blnded her as a chld of lve by smashng her face nto a mrror. Whe ths makes way for some frghtenng hallucnatons, t s nether very well ntroduced nor 1n+ wow;+; ; Ad : t_. ; %vus. andl 1o Uay Ya,>. L 13 lltully PUU1C;U as an added detal. The love story s also nadequately developed. t starts out as a trangle of sorts between Emma, John, and Emma's ophthalmologst. John wns out easly, though, and we never really learn why. They go out for coffee once and the next day end up n bed together, madly n love. There s almost no development whatsoever. We plod through these subplots to fnally reach the clmax of the mystery, whch was also dsappontng. Good mysteres are made by good crmnals, and the bad guy here was anythng but that. Hs motve for the seral kllngs was nterestng, but he hmself was rather nsane. Somehow, mysteres are more satsfyng when there s an evl and devous crmnal mastermndng the whole affar. Gvng the honors to an dot dmnshes ths satsfacton and makes one wonder how he could have gotten away wth everythng so easly. Blnk does have ts moments, though. t gves an ntrospectve look nto what t s lke to be blnd. When Emma frst gets back to her apartment after reganng her sght, she stumbes up the starcase that she probably successfully navgated hundreds of tmes whle completely blnd. When she gets back to her room, she turns the televson on, only to fnd a fuzzy screen of snow: she had been able to lsten to the televson before, unaware of the lack of pcture. One partcularly nterestng nsght s made when a frend nqures about what t's lke to have sex when blnd. The techncal aspects of ths move are mpeccable. The scene when Emma frst opens her newly restored eyes s amazng. The sequence from total blackness to a dzzyng array of lghts and mages s terrfyng, much lke t mght be to someone reganng sght for the frst tme after 20 years. The few shots of the eye surgery tself were fascnatng as well. Throughout the flm, Emma experences mutatng hallucnatons/flashbacks that come off effectvely on the screen. The musc by The Drovers (an actual band, apparently) was also qute nce. The group was approprately showcased as they performed almost all of the musc for the flm.

Ther 56-year rvalry burns cly fresh when the vvacous, sensual wdow Arel Truax (Ann-Margaret) moves nto the house across the street from them.

Shot almost entrely n black and whte, the flm takes you to the Poland of the late 30s and early 40s. Neeson s great, carefully portrayng the slow change from a man who only cares about money to one who cares only about savng lves. Ben Kngsley perfectly plays tzhak Stern, Schndler's Jewsh accountant who cunnngly sdesteps Naz offcals. Ralph Fennes portrays the unswervngly-loyal Amon C-oeth, the Commandant of the Naz labor camp.

Starrng Stephen Rea and Snead Cusack Harvard Flm Archve. Jan. 29, 30. By Jeremy Hylton CHARMAN he begnnng of Wm Wenders' new flm Faraway, So Close s dzzyng. Wenders' camera fles across the top of East Berln and begns to crcle the Angel of Vctory statue. The camera moves n closer and closer as t splls faster and faster around the Valkyre-lke head. Suddenly a man s standng between the head and wng of the gant wan or. t s a movng and beautful sequence. As the background of the cty blurs nto a confuson of moton, Cassel (Otto Sander) stands serenely n the foreground surveyng the chaos. And then he jumps, and fles through the cty. Faraway, So Close, you see, s about angels. The sequence captures the tmelessness of angels that Wenders tres to convey; as the world spns by at dzzyng speeds, angels stand serenely by and watch. Two of those angels are Cassel and Raphaela (Nastassja Knsk), surveyors of post-cold War Berln. They move through the cty and watch ther human charges, but can make contact wth them only n dreams. The openng scenes of the move shot n a lumnous black and whte show Cassel strugglng aganst the boundary between men and angels. Cassel moves, seemngly at random, from place to place, watchng Konrad (Henz Ruhmann) an aged chauffeur tnker wth hs 50-year-old cars, or Hanna (Monka Hansen), a workng sngle mother, care for her sck, young daughter Rassa (Alne Krajewsk), or stands behnd Mkhal Gorbachev (as hmself) ponderng the world's future. There s an odd, but ntrgung dynamc at work n these scenes: Cassel longs to make contact wth these people, and Sander captures perfectly the terrble sadness Cassel's dstance generates; hs face, mouth betray no emoton, but hs eyes ache. At the same tme, Cassel watches so ntently that t s hard not to be uneasy. s ths guy an angel or a voyeur? There doesn't seem to be much plot n these early scenes, untl Cassel the watcher s joned hy another spy; a man (Rudger Volger), who watches Cassel's charges. Just as ths complcaton starts to develop, though, Rassa falls off the balcony of her loth-floor apartment. Cassel s forced to act, and n an nstant, he s standng on the ground below wth the chld n hs arms - and the move s now n color. He has gven up hs serene, angelc exstence for the colorful, fast-paced lfe of a human. Sander s agan wonderfully expressve as a man-chld learnng what t s lke to be human. Sander navgates an enormous emotonal range, capturng Cassel's absolute joy at seeng the world as t s (we magne that THE ARTS Sander caes brllant, complex Faraway, angels see n black and whte, too), and the pognancy of hs separaton from Raphaela. n one panful scene, Cassel sts n a booth to have hs pcture taken, and he longs to be wth her; the flm moves abruptly to black and whte and we see that Raphaela s actually there, holdng hm and muggng the camera playfully, but he can't see her. So Close The bggest change for Casse n the new world s hs sudden concern for tme. t s also one of the weak ponts of the scrpt, by Wen- ders, Ulrch Zeger, and Rchard Retnger.l Apparently, angels have trouble gettng useds to tme and the scrpt tres to set up some great Faraway, Page 13 O tylc,-p\ L, bld, a9~~~ ' One Week Party Package ncludes: Olher Locatons: Sponsored By:r..

Great sgnfcance must be nvested though n Wllem Dafoe's character Emt Flest ("tme tself' backwards, n case you weren't ht over the head wth t). Flest s some knd of supernatural fgure, able to speak to angels and men at once, and the fol to Cassel. He makes several efforts to end Cassels human lfe: n once scene, he ntroduces Cassel to booze, sendng hm nto a long declne of drunkenness and msery. After some nghts sleepng on the street, gettng thrown out of a Lou Reed concert, and holdng up a few small stores wth a gun he fnds, Cassel s rescued from hs drunken stupor by a sleazy busnessman, Tony Baker. Baker takes on Cassel as hs man servant, and a strange mutual respect develops between them, strange because Cassel doesn't see the underhanded sde of Baker. After Cassel saves Baker's lfe, Baker offers to let hm n on a pece of the busness, whch unfortunately for Cassel s a mx of pornography and arms dealng. Baker, fully revealed, stands for everythng Cassel became human to stop, and Cassel flees Baker to re-thnk hs msson as a human. At ths pont n the flm, Wenders starts to draw together the network of loose ends he has left over the course of the flm. He turns the flm away from the beautful, ramblng tale of Cassel comng to terms wth humanty. n the last half-hour or so of the flm, Wenders bulds connectons between Konrad, Manna and Rassa, Baker, and a host of other characters Cassel has met, ncludng Peter Falk as hmself, tyng the whole package up n a whz bang fnale. The endng s ncredbly straned. Wenders can't decde what knd of move he s makng and at tmes the fnal mnutes seem grafted onto a wholly dfferent earler flm. Wenders had the same trouble wth the brllant, but uneven Untl the End of the World, whch changed mdstream from chase move to a reflecton on dreams and solpssm. Despte the contrved endng, Wenders and Sander both gve brllant performances that more than compensate for the scrpt's problems. Behnd the camera, Wenders has an enchantng vsual style, and makes good use of a soundtrack ncludng songs by U2, Nck Cave, and Jane Sberry.

On the screen, Sander s left to carry the flm, appearng n nearly every scene, and he succeeds masterfully.

Gerry works n the cty plannng offce; he's a curmudegon, he doesn't ever seem to comb hs har, and he lkes to work secretly on comc strp-lke drawngs of hmself and hs wfe.

There s whole host of superb supportng characters that move through the McAllster's lfe: There's Howard Spnks (Phlp Jackson), a two-bt, slmeball real estate developer who tres to charge them bogus consultng fees, Ray and Roy (Phl Danels), thle twns who fx the bathroom, and Sophe (Sara Todd), Gerry's exctng younger co-worker.

Vest asked Ltster to head an nvestgaton of the nsttute's records. Ltster has not concluded hs revew of all the radaton tests recently dscovered, but hs calculatons for Harrs' nutrton tests ndcate that the dosages nvolved were very small. Ltster sad that the purpose of the nvestgaton was to ascertan the amount of rsk people were exposed to, and to determne the harm caused by the exposure. "t s mportant to recognze that the purpose of these studes was to mprove understandng of nutrtonal processes n order to promote the health of young people, and that the radaton exposure appears to have been well wthn today's lmts," Vest sad. Kennedy hearng Kennedy chared a meetng of the Senate Commttee on Labor and Raautoun Tetn:g Human Resources at the Fernald School. The hearng focused prmarly on the ssue of nformed consent. "We want to know what records exst, how great the dangers were, how much consent, f any, was obtaned from the research, and how much harm was done," Kennedy sad n hs openng statement. "Once we have ths nformaton, we can enact legslaton to help the vctms and prevent any repettons of these abomnable practces," Kennedy contnued. n the 1970s, Kennedy ntroduced legslaton that effectvely ended expermentaton wthout the nformed consent of the subjects, accordng to a spokesman n Kennedy's offce. Accordng to Masse, to the best of hs knowledge. no formal revew polces exsted at MT n the late 1940s and 50s when the studes were done.

Mathematca for Students lets ndvdual students take th'e power of Mathematca home for ther own collulters. the Fernald School acted as a custodan for the patents and permtted them to partcpate. "t was apparently customary for the physcan, who allowed access to the patents, to assume responsblty for securng approprate nformed consent," Ltster testfed. Accordng to a report publshed n The Boston Globe, parents of the youths at the Fernald school were probably not told that the nutrtonal experments ther chldren would be partcpatng n nvolved radoactve tracers. Current polcy at MT requres radaton experments to be approved by the Commttee of the Use of Humans as Expermental Subjects and the Commttee of Rada-ol Exposure t,urnan.o S..:bjcs.

Wastod was unconventonal The wnnng robot was unconventonally desgned. Lerner sad, "We just wanted to make the coolestworkng robot.... We had an dea that no one n-the lab was close to, so that was what drove us on." " was very surprsed t won," sad Pankaj Obero, one of ths year's organzers. "t defes the concepts you try to teach people, lke makng t smple. The [team members] were n my rectaton, and kept tellng them to make t smpler." Obero added, "The thng that made them wn was the robustness of ther software, whch made the robot sense the other robots better. When ther robot went to the other sde, t would predct where the other [team's] robot was gong and go the opposte way." Wastod's strategy was to cross over to the opponent's sde, pck up foam blocks one at a tme, and throw them back to ts own sde. Each successful block throw netted Wastod four ponts. The catapult was made of rubber bands and LEGO components. Lerner sad that the team worked an average of at least 12 hours each day through the three weeks pror to the contest. Wastod's vctory was a complete surprse to the team members. "t ddn't work relably n lab. An hour before the competton, [the robot] ddn't work rght once n ten tres. And then as soon as the competton started, t worked fne," Lerner sad. "We told each other that we are just rdng ths luck." Sandng table helped Wastod Lemrner sad that the robot dd not work pror to the prelmnary round, because the table had just been repanted and was stcker, and made the calbratons slghtly off. Before the rounds started, however, organzers sanded the table down smooth. Wastod worked perfectly on ths surface, accordng to Lerner. "The best thng... was hearng the crowd. There was one lttle boy jumpng up and down n the asles and callng out, 'Wastod, Wastod,' " Lerner sad. Wastod lost only one round, but only because of a loose sensor. The thrd-place team of Ells Ch '96, Nmsha V. Mehta '96, and Jang Zhu '96 followed a defensve strategy. Mehta sad, "We were tryng to get all the bottles and two foam blocks [on our sde] before the other robot comes. We knocked them nto a cage [on our robot]. We pulled the blocks nto a space on the bottom of our robot." Contest s student run s a completely studentrun competton. Ths year's organzers were: Matthew L. Domsch '94, Pankaj Obero G, Karsten P. Ulland '94, Sanjay S. Vakl '94, and Anne Wrght. The competton requres $40,000 worth of component parts, of whch the Department of Electrcal Engneerng and Computer Scence allocates $15,000. Corporate sponsors, ncludng the Mcrosoft omlp., Motorola Se.Econduc.tor nc., LEGO Systems nc., Polarod nc., and Gates Energy Products nc. provded the money and the rest of the components. Sponsors also provded shrts and snacks to the teams. " thnk t was probably the best contest we ever had," Obero sad. "There were a lot of dfferent types of robots. n past years, the robots tended to be smlar." "Ths year was much harder than other years. t nvolved a lot more creatvty, and made for dfferent robots," Calderon sad. The varety of robot desgns resulted from the greater complexty of the contest ths year, Obero sad. "There was no smple way to get across the other person's sde. The peces were dffcult to pck up. There was no smple strategy to get a lot of ponts. You had to really worry about what the other robot was dong. n past years, t wasn't worth t to come across to the other robot's sde. Ths year, we rewarded a robot that could go on the offensve strategy." Lerner sad, "At lab, everyone was workng together, people were helpng each other out. Most people ddn't consder t a cut-throat competton. None of us had ever worked so hard n our lves." Shah sad, "t was a great experence because t was so much dfferent from courses and lectures. Every day we would go there and work and t was fun." Y e m _l-bc v y n 1 C Mehta sad, "We learned teamwork. t was really frustratng at tmes, when we ddn't agree on thngs, but then everythng worked out." THOMAS R.

Just the publcty s what we need at ths pont... and that's what's gong to allow the servce to work." "Many M1T students are wary of walkng by themselves at late hours," sad Jonathan D. Baker G, co-char of the Graduate Student Councl Housng and Communty Affars Commttee. Others mentoned that the program would be deal for students who would normally be reluctant to ask the Campus Polce or a frend to walk them home. Safe Walk escorts wll accompany students anywhere on campus, but not to off-campus fraterntes or ndependent lvng groups, Porter sad. The emphass s on "safety n numbers" and the knowledge that the escorts have a drect rado lnk to Campus Polce,!pr sad. For off-campus destnatons, Safe Walk members wll escort students to the nearest Safe Rde stop, Porter added. n addton, Safe Walk zones wll be restrcted to areas deemed acceptable by the Campus Polce. Escorts to Central Square, for example, wll not be provded, snce the Campus Polce has recommended that students avod ths area after dark, and provdng servce would put the escorts at rsk. Snce Safe Walk s run by students, both Baker and Chef of Campus Polce Anne P. Glavn stressed that the escort poston would not be one of law enforcement, but rather one of observaton and deterrence. Students are stll advsed to use cauton when travelng at nght, Glavn sad. The Safe Walk project orgnated from a commttee sponsored by the Undergraduate Assocaton and the Graduate Student Councl. The two governments tred "to put ths together as a unfed student event," pr sad. Results of a survey taken n September reflected an ncreasng concern wth crme among students. Wth close to 20 members, Safe Walk has now become an ndependent student actvty, under the faculty advsement of Assstant Dean of Resdence and Campus Actvtes Neal H. Dorow. t s stll, however, lookng for new recruts. "We're lookng for gung-ho students wth the rght atttude," Porter sad, "who can nerfonrm ther dutes n a nonconfrontatonal manner."

January 28, *.... a.sptort e , TE TECH Page 25" Cowboys Offensve Lne Leads Stronger Sde of Team Argue, from Page 29 ground game domnates and 2) the Blls have been been able to use a sgnfcant home-feld advantage to reach the Super Bowl when there may have been better teams n the AFC. n three of the last four years, the Blls have gotten home-feld advantage throughout the playoffs by feastng on a steady det of Dolts, Jets, and Pats. They may not have gotten to all four Super Bowls f the Blls had to travel outsde the frendly and frgd confnes of Rch Stadum. The 'Boys, on the other hand, have clearly been the best team n the league for the last two years. Credt here s also due the coach, Jmmy Johnson, and the front offce, notably Jerry Jones. Both showed cajones grandes n takng the team away from legendary Tom Landry and Tex Schramm, gettng rd of the Herschel Factor, and droppng 15 of 16 n They, of course, followed the rght track by cashng n ther chps and tradng a sngle 1-15 season, followed by two Super Bowls, for 5 seasons of 8-8 medocrty. Ther talent pool s hard to match, partcularly on the offensve lne, whch makes Troy Akman's job pretty easy, and they are playng wth unchecked, but wellearned confdence. Havng only one week off between the conference champonshp and the Super Bowl should help keep Buffalo n t. The 'Pokes wll wn convncngly, but a late score led by Frank "Declne and Fall of the Thrd" Rech wll brng the Blls wthn the spread. The Matchups selectons, and probably could have had one or two more as well. The offensve lne s the anchor, allowng Troy "Boy" Akman enough tme to do a problem set before he throws the ball and creatng gaps for Emmtt to poke through. Nate Newton, who plays the part of jolly fat man better than anyone wth the possble excepton of hs bggest fan, John Madden, and tackle Erk Wllams are gong to the Pro Bowl. More mportantly, Newton has also made the All-Madden team for the 5th tme. Kevn Gogan and John Gesek could also have made t, and they lead a crew rounded out by the supurb Mark Tune. Coach Jmmy Johnson wll lkely lne Wllams up aganst Bruce Smth, a matchup that may determne the outcome of the game. The backfeld conssts of Akman, Smth, and Daryl "Moose" Johnston. Johnston s gong to the Pro Bowl as a fullback, despte rushng for only 74 yards for the season, a testament to hs blockng and recevng (hs 50 catches were thrd on the team) and the team's ablty to feature Ermmtt Smth play after play. When Smth s not n, bruser Lncoln Coleman can step n adequately, and although rooke Derrck Lasse has good sklls, he lacks suffcent pro experence. Akman was the second hghest rated quarterback ths season at 99.0, whle rackng up some amazng numbers lke completng 69.1% of hs passes and throwng sx nterceptons all season, ncludng the one that ended the regular season game versus Buffalo. (By comparson, Drew Bledsoe had fve n a sngle game aganst the Steelers n Week 13). Troy s not flashy, but s a perfect complment to the offense by makng good decsons when passng and by gettng out of Smth's way after he hands t off. He s not rreplacable, though. Because Dallas s so strong all over, they can stll wn ths game f the legendary Berne Kosar has to come off the bench. The crew that catches Akman's passes s also pretty good. The wde outs are led by Mchael rvn, who s almost as good as he thnks he s, and s headed to the Fve-0 as well. He led the team wth 88 catches for 1330 yards and 7 TD receptons, and s a threat both deep and short. Although not as acrobatc as some NFL recevers, rvn has great hands (much lke Sr Vx) and great concentraton. On the other sde, Alvn Harper s prmarly a deep threat, averagng 21.6 yards a catch; he lkes to catch the quck slant and take t for a long gan, as seen n the last two NFC Champonshp games. Tght end Jay Novacek had a down year compared to prevous years, especally 1992, catchng only 44 balls for 445 yards and only 1 TD. Although crtczed by Todd Chrstenson ths year, Novacek remaned the best tght end n the NFC manly because no one else stepped up to clam the ttle, and he was rewarded wth a trp to the Aloha State. Despte the other facets of the offense, t s clear that Emmtt Smth s the key to the entre Dallas team. He was a clear choce for the NFL MVP. Dallas has lost 4 games all season, and n none of them dd Emmtt play all four quarters. He led the league wth 1486 rushng yards, despte sttng out the frst two games versus Washngton and Buffalo. More mportantly, hs 5.3 yards/carry average allows the Cowboys to run hm on frst down and leave the defense vulnerable wth 2nd and short stuatons. He showed hs toughness by playng n extreme pan aganst the Gants and Packers. f Emmtt has to go out due to hs shoulder njury, the Blls could captalze. Dallas wll look to mantan the same offensve scheme that got them to The Dance, and whch wll make Norv Turner rch next year. They wll try to feature Emmtt Smth as a prmary means for steamrollng over Buffalo. Buffalo's only chance wll be to stop the Boys up front, at the lne of scrmmage where the Blls are strongest. f the Boys can block the D-lne, though, Buffalo wll have to try agan next year. Regardless of the lne play, t wll be nterestng to watch the matchup of the talented Dallas recevers gong aganst the unheralded Buffalo secondary of Nate Odomes, Mark Kelso, Henry Jones (quetly ganng the ttle of "Most Underrated Player"), and Thomas Smth. Buffalo on Defense Wth the Blls offense usng the no-huddle approach, the defensve players wll be on the feld for over half of the game (Buffalo's average tme of possesson was 27:30 n the regular season). Ths could be a problem, especally f Emmtt's shoulder s fne, as the Bg Dallas Offensve lne may be able to wear out the Blls front three, resultng n long sustaned scorng drves for the Boys. Wth Nate Odomes gvng away 4 nches to Mchael rvn, t s mperatve that the D-lne gets pressure on Akman so that he s not able to spot up and throw the deep pass to number 88. Ths s an opportunstc defense (47 turnovers n the regular season, league-hgh), however, and, combned wth Akman's penchant to force the ball, could come up wth some of the bg plays the Blls need to have a chance. On the lne, Buffalo has arguably the league's most domnant player n Bruce Smth. Smth wll need to put hs father's health n the back of hs mnd or use t as motvaton as he needs to come up wth a bg game. Despte beng constantly double-teamed, Bruce was able to regster 13 1/2 sacks ths year, second n the league. Whle the attenton has been focused on Smth, nosetackle JeffWrght (5 1/2 sacks) and defensve end Phl Hansen (3 1/2) quetly had nce years. Ther ablty to get pressure on Akman so that Troy has to hurry (and force) hs passes and to contan Emmtt by forcng hm nsde so that the Blls excellent lnebackng corps may tackle hm wll be keys to the game. The Blls lnebackers - All Pro Cornelus Bennett, Darryl Talley (career hgh 137 tackles), Marvcus Patton (12 tackles vs. the Raders), and Mark Maddox (9 vs. Kansas Cty)-are very talented. Bennett and Talley are money players and wll need to step up n Sunday's game. As Dallas uses Emmtt and Novacek effectvely n ther short passng game, they wll have ther hands full. They wll have to read the play acton passes so that Novacek sn't able to slp n between them and the Blls secondary for a 15 yard pckup (when the Blls play zone) or go for the bg ganer (when the Blls are n man coverage). Ther ablty to tackle Emmtt on the frst try wll be a key, as Smth has the knack for bouncng off the ntal would-be tackler and pckng up 5 addtonal yards. Therefore, the Blls wll have to use ther body (.e., square the shoulders) and not rely on arm-tacklng to brng Emmtt down. The secondary has all pro comer Nate Odomes and the steady Henry Jones at safety. Although the defense had 23 pcks durng the season, they do get burned, especally by crossng patterns over the mddle (see Tm Brown n the Raders game) and passes deep. f Kelso btes on the play acton, falls for Akman's pump fakes, or s forced to help the lnebackers n coverng Novacek, watch for rvn and Harper to go long. When the Blls Have the Ball Buffalo on Offense The Blls run the no-huddle. Although t results n a lot of quck scorng drves, t also produces quck 3's and out. They do, however, have the ablty to run the ball and grnd out the clock. The Blls fnshed 6th n the league n total 0, so the ablty to score a lot of ponts s there. They also do not turn the ball over very often and are not heavly penalzed. f they can get some drves gong (especally early) n order to gve the defense a rest and do not have the drve kllng holdng penaltes, Kelly wll be able to have the bg day needed n order to brng the trophy to the frozen shores of Lake Ere. The backfeld s superb, led by All World runnng back Thurman Thomas (led the AFC n yards from scrmmage for an NFL-record ffth straght tme). Despte a ho-hum performance aganst the Raders, Thomas was able to turn t up a Dallas on Offense The better half of the Dallas team s ts extremely talented offense. The 'Boys are strong n every facet of offense, led by the offensve lne. Dallas fnshed the season 4th n the league n total offense, second to the Gants n rushng and 7th n passng. They are sendng seven out of starters, ncludng the entre backfeld, to Honolulu n two weeks as Pro Bowl Argue, Page 23 _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thers.

On Jan. 12, the Engneers engaged n a dual meet aganst the defendng natonal champon, Sprngfeld College. Ten days later, they traveled north to compete aganst the Unversty of Vermont. On both occasons, the Engneers showed great potental and promse. The Sprngfeld College tournament showcased many of MT's fne gymnasts. For the frst tme n many years, MT had a full,:n. n a competton. The meet began wth dynamte floor routnes and explosve tumblng passes. Rob Cooper '97 topped off the event wth a one-and-a half, punch front earnng hm a score of 8.5. The pommel horse, perhaps the most dffcult apparatus, took ts toll on the team score. Wth many form breaks and a few major deductons, the team came out wth a low score of The undaunted Engneers contnued on to the stll rngs, where they exhbted great strength and dffculty wth such moves as the ron cross and L-cross. n the vaultng horse, Jeff Phllppe '95, a newcomer to the team, scored a 7.25 wth a welldone front handsprng. Bran Young '96 executed a fne front handsprng whch earned hm the hghest score of the team, an n the parallel bars, Scott Lazerwth '95 dazzled the audence and the judges wth hs one arm handstand, whle Andy Lobban '97 fnshed the event wth the hghest score of n the fnal event, the hgh bar, the team suffered from falls and breaks, perhaps due to fatgue.

Addtonally, tools needed by you to effectvely do your job are elmnated n order to supplement the actvtes of other ' co-workers (e.g., Prop 42 and the elmnaton of an assstant coach for Men's teams n order to free up some dough for other sports), coworkers who never brng n enough t revenue to cover ther expenses. You, the worker, would fnd ths unfar. So, whle gender equty s a major ssue n all of college athletcs, the current means beng used to solve ths problem are wrong. Usng the above-mentoned as a sprngboard, we recommend to the NCAA that t splt tself up nto separate governng bodes: one for college football, one for college basket- ball, and one each for the remander of Dvson,, and athletcs. Ths way the governng body can spend ts tme addressng the approprate needs of ts members. The Bg East Conference as we know t today s n serous trouble.

To complcate matters further, Rutgers s beng mentoned as a possble 12th member of the Bg 10, as the Bg 10 would love to crack the New York meda market (whch Bg East offcals fear) and Penn State would lke an Eastern partner.

Auburn Although your humble scrbes care for Notre Dame less than the 'Tute cares about plowng the brdge followng a snowstorm, we have to admt that Lou Holtz and hs "golden boys" offcally got the shaft - no elevator ncluded - by the football pollsters. f two teams have the same record, the frst and most obvous te breaker should be the head-to-head (.e., Geromo) record, just lke the NFL. f only A&M's hook and lateral play had worked, however. Followng ths year's natonal champonshp debate, Menudo offers the followng suggeston n order to clear up the confuson: the AP football poll should not come out untl the ffth week of the season. Ths wll gve sportswrters a better sense of who s for real (see Nebraska and Wsconsn) and whch teams are jokes (see Syracuse and Georga). t wll also help to elmnate "voter bas." Ths bas s from sportswrters votng for the teams they pcked n ther pre-season publcatons (whch go to press way back n May) and stckng wth them all year, wn or lose, n order to "look good" so that more publcatons can be sold next year (how else can you explan a non-ranked team beatng a Top 10 team n week one of the season yet, n week two, stll not beng ranked whle the 0-1 team slps to 16th n the polls). Also, the problem wth leap-froggng won't be as pronounced. Some teams don't get ranked as hghly at the end of the season as they deserve (see West Vrgna), because they were ether unranked at the start of the season (therefore had to spend all season movng up the polls) or not ranked that hghly. n college basketball, the AP poll means squat because the tournament selecton commttee uses the RP (power ndex) n order to both select and seed the teams nvted to the Bg Dance. Therefore, the natonal champonshp s decded on the court, not "on the throne" at the spou-t.s-. depa^.rms.- vof-r~- r.t.aj' papers. n football, however, voters decde the matchups for most of the major bowls. Therefore, one sportswrter from Butte could determne whether or not FSU plays Nebraska n the Orange Bowl (the fnal two mnutes were the best n college Bowl hstory, by the way) wth the stroke of hs pen. Otherwse, the Bowl coalton should use computer power rankng's (based on strength of schedule, opponents' strength of schedule, vctory margn, etc.) n order to determne bowl matchups. Ths wll also help to elmnate the tradtonal cup cake non-conference schedules some schools play.

Three tmes they have tred n the Super Bowl, and three tmes they have faled. t s hard to fgure that they wll do anythng dfferently ths tme around. On the one hand, they have been domnant n the AFC for the last 5 years, no small feat n the NFL due to the dffcult schedule and low draft pcks for dvson wnners. On the other, they have been soundly trounced by far better opposton n the Super Bowls (except for the Gants who domnated them wth superor ball control). How can ths be the case? On the good sde, an mmeasurable amount of credt must be gven to Marv Levy, who has not only been a superor tactton, but has also managed to keep hs teem focused and motvated for 5 years at tmes when t would have been easy for the team to qut. Credt must also be gven to former GM Bll Polan for turnng around a sorry franchse that played n a stadum rvalng only Foxboro n shabbness and for amassng such a wealth of talent (Kelly, Thomas, Smth, Bennett, etc.) and keepng them happy. Durng a tme when top draft pcks wouldn't play for Tampa Bay, the Blls management turned ther number ones nto All-Pros, wth ther players havng to lve n Buffalo to boot.

Wth all of those football games on and the start of Bg Monday, Super Tuesday, etc., we hope you were able to fnd tme to do somethng constructve ths past AP. Before we dve nto our Super Bowl prevew, we must address some other sports topcs... Although t was a senseless act of volence, the manner n whch the Nancy Kerrgan case was handled was a lttle extraordnary - to say the least. Assgnng the FB and a specal unt from the Detrot Metro Polce to nvestgate the gongs-on of a woman gettng whacked on the leg wth a rod s a bt rdculous. The Motor Cty s not known as the safest cty n the hemsphere, so t's not lke Detrot's fnest had tme to spare. Lkewse, the Feds should have somethng better to do than to track down Nancy's attacker (she wasn't even left n the hosptal overnght, by the way). As soon as other crmes are solved n such a swft manner, then can our tax dollars go to solvng such relatvely trval cases. Unless, of course, the FB! wants to nvestgate and solve the mystery of why our damn furnace won't work for more than two hours n a row... By the way, how s t possble that a gorlla of a man lke Shane Stant can ht a 24 year-old woman n the knee wth a sold metal rod and cause damage only so mnor that Nancy could be not only ce skatng wthn a week, but skatng at a Olympc calber level wthn two weeks? And how could any group of thugs not lookng to get caught, leave a paper trat longer than the A F Syracuse Unversty Dvson of nternatonal Programs Abroad 119 Eucld Avenue Syracuse, New York lne to get a LaVerde's sub at noon at every place that Kerrgan was at for two weeks pror to the attack? As jucy as the Hard Copy epsodes and USA "Up All Nght" moves for ths escapade are gong to be, wouldn't t be even more outrageous f ths entre scheme was actually mastermnded by someone n Kerrgan's entourage as a publcty stunt for the Stoneham Bscut? t's tme for the Baseball Hall of Fame commttee to wake up and get a clue. Players should be on the Hall of Fame ballot for 3 years, max. Ths practce of allowng players to reman on the ballot for 15 years s rdculous. When a player s brought up n conversaton, there should be no debate over whether he belongs n the Hall; he's ether a Hall of Famer or he's not, case closed (ths s a senstve ssue here at Let's Argue as the great-great uncle of one of your humble scrbes s enshrned at Cooperstown). Why should a player be able to put on a meda bltz n the last few years of hs elgblty (see Orlando Cepeda and Ron Santo) n order to woo some more votes from the Baseball wrters? f he dd not get nto the Hall durng year three of hs elgblty, what the hell has he done that makes hm a shoo-n durng year ffteen? Nothng, save some serous butt-kssng. Three years of elgblty s enough and should be used for the followng reasons: Frst, only the truly exceptonal deserve to be voted n durng ther frst year of elgblty (Aaron, Ruth, Cobb, ROSE). Secondly, voters won't put more than fve players nto the Hall durng any one year. Therefore, on the off chance that someone wasn't voted n because he was n the same class as 5 other Hall of Famers, he would have the opportunty to get _ PBBOPB SYR AC USE ABRO Somethng to wrte home about! NNEGNFBr- L voted n the next year. Therefore, a player should get 3 chance to, make t to Cooperstown before he s removed from the ballot. Ths would also spare everyone the charade of seeng Phl Nekro, Bake McBrde, and Dave Kngman's name n the news each year, nstead of fadng nto trva queston anonymty, where they belong. Besdes, sn't t three-strkes-andyou're-out at the old ball game? We take ths tme to gve a hearty Let's Argue "Two Thumbs Up" to ESPN's Prme Tme hghlght show, an hour-long wrap up and comedy extravaganza for the pro football junke, sandwched n between the end of the 4 p.m. game and the start of the Sunday nght 8 p.m. contest. The best part of the show s that the crew - Chrs "Boomer" Berman, Tom Jackson, Joe Thesman, and Robn Roberts- - shows a the relevant plays n a game; for nstance, the 12-yard run on thrd and fve and the 18-yard pass play that really set up a score, not just the "hghlght" of the fullback lungng over from the one. The analyses are also superor to what s usually found on one of the shows on the networks. Jackson and Thesman are straght forward and accurate wth crtcsms and salute offensve lnemen who played well for a losng team, quarterbacks for wnnng teams, etc. A telltale example of the greatness of the show came durng the last week of the season, when several playoff spots were stll up for grabs. When the Raders- Broncos game went nto overtme, cuttng nto the frst half of Prme Tme, the crew let Robn descrbe all the meanngless games (as s always the case), and saved the mportant games for Berman to do durng the second half of the show A D APORTS Programs n Afrca, Australa, Belgum, Czech Republc, England, France, Germany, Hungary, srael, taly, Poland, and Span * Pror foregn language not always necessary SU credt * Feld trps/travelng semnars e nternshps * Study for a semester, a year, or a summer * Home or lmted apartment placements SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM N CELL AND MOLECULAR BOLOGY AND THE NEUROSCENCES NEW YORK UNVERSTY SCHOOL OF MEDCNE JUNE 6 - AUGUST 12, 1994 The NYU School of Medcne's Summer Undergraduate Research Program n Cell and Molecular Bology and the Neuroscences s desgned to offer undergraduates who have completed ther junor year of college and plan to pursue a research career as M.D.-Ph.D. or Ph.D. students n the Bomedcal Scences an opportunty to partcpate n the research actvtes of a laboratory at the School of Medcne under the drecton of a faculty member.

The NFL must be as happy as the NBA s that a strong rooke crop played well ths year, ensurng the league of havng stars of the future. Asde from the well-publczed rsh backfeld of Rck "No Tme To Wallow n the" Mrer, Jerome Betts, and Regge Brooks, Drew Bledsoe and several runnng backs stood out: Natrone "Refred" Means (SD), Ron "For a Few Dollars" Moore (Phoenx), Erc Peagram (Atlanta), Terry Krby (Mam), and two 'Sotans, Scotte Graham and Robert Smth. Bledsoe has the best tools, and s gong to be the best QB n the NFL n 3 to 4 years - hs experence coupled wth the retrement of some of the greats. For the runners, look for Smth, f he stays healthy and gets the PT, and Moore to have great careers. Recever/returner OJ McDuffe stood out ths year, whle the Sants' Wlle Roaf was the best rooke offensve lneman. Of course, Dana Stubblefeld was an excellent choce for defensve rooke of the year... Why dd the Gants look so flat aganst the Nners and the Raders run out of gas n the second half versus Buffalo? t s a result of bonehead schedulng by the Lords of the Grdron. Both the Gants and the Raders had to play wth only sx days of rest, whle ther opponents each had 13. LA had to play the late game on the West coast, then travel across the country (losng 3 hours) and play the early Saturday game aganst the Blls, whle the Gants also had to cross the contnent and play a day early after beatng the Vkngs, who had nne days off pror to the game n the Meadowlands. Of course ths s supposed to be the advantage of wnnng the dvson, nstead of a wld card, but the advantage s too great, especally n lght of the fact that both KC and Green Bay, who played on the frst Saturday, could easly have played on the second Saturday, nstead of gettng eght days' rest. Also, the Gants had a better record than the 'Nners, but ddn't have the luxury of playng n a dvson n whch the next best team was 8-8. Yet, as s always the case, when the tele-vrcrn eveos bark, the NFL lstens. The current power struggle between the Natonal Assocaton of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the unversty presdents goes far beyond Prop 42 (n whch the NCAA would have restored a 14th scholarshp to be used by Dvson schools) and t certanly sn't a racal ssue. For years, the presdents have dctated the rules by whch the NABC must adhere to - rules made wthout nput from coaches. The falure of Proposton 42 to pass smply brought the pot to bol. A walkout by NABC or BCA (Black Coaches Assocaton) members would be a strong message to Unversty Presdents, mplyng that enough s enough and that ts tme to ncorporate coaches nto the decson makng process. The followng lsts some of the crtcal ssues that led to the current stuaton: 1.] Prop 42. n Dvson 1-A football, teams are alloted 85 scholarshps. Wth 22 poston players per team needed (players can double up for specal teams dutes), ths translates to a 3.9 rato, compared to 2.6 for basketball. t s not as f football produces 150 percent more revenue for the unversty (as ther admnstraton and travel costs tower over those of basketball programs - n whch $250,000 s the average basketball budget at D-1 schools). n fact, most basketball programs contrbute more to the bottom lne than football does. Addtonally, for a basketball team to practce full tlt, ten players are needed (for 5 on 5). f a player s hurt, needs a sub, or msses practce January 28 because of a class, the coarently has only 3 subs to ch replacement from.

B3y Danel Wang STAFF REPORTER When the women's basketball team took the floor at Rockwell Cage, Monday nght aganst Anna Mara College, the stuaton seemed lke just another game. The goal that Mar Casserberg '94 scored off of a pass from C.J. Doane '95 seemed lke any other. But the basket scored about four mnutes nto the frst half was one of the bggest of her athletc career, and n the hstory of MT athletcs. The crowd went wld when Casserberg took the ball n front of the basket, bounced t off the glass; t ht the rm and fell through the net. Casserberg had become the second player n women's basketball hstory to score over 1,000 ponts. The game stopped for a few mnutes, as people came onto the court to congratulate her.

Throughout the frst half, the Engneers seemed to take advantage of poor shootng and sloppy ball handlng from part of Anna Mara. Wth the Amcats dsplayng a lack of nsde defense, MT players were able to penetrate for easy baskets. Casserberg scored her frst two feld goals on fast break layups. MT had ts bggest lead fath around nne and a half mnutes remanng n the frst half, wth the score Several tme guard Tammy Porter '94 was able to catch her defender lookng the other way and had many fast break opportuntes.

Wth 1:20 left before halftme, guard Sarah Davs '97 drew some amazement from the crowd when she cleanly slapped a feld goal attempt out of the ar. The Amcats' nablty to put the bal through the hoop helped the Engneers to a halftme lead.
