Stone, Editor of I.. Stone's Bi-Weekly, castigate present American mili- tary policy as the diabolical pro- duct of a malevolent elite. Continuing, Stone said that Americans would have no faith in the up-coming Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) if they viewed disarmament attempts in historical perspective. Of the many disarmament conferences since the first in 1897, not one has produced any lastin desirable effects. Fro example, he said, the British and French were on the verge of a cessation of naval competitions until the aged and doddering Duke of Wellington told the British that new French steamships could secretly land 50,000 troops near London and overrun the capital. Agreements with the French collapsed, and a new arms race began as the British became mesmerized, by national paranoia. Indeed, throughout the con- ference, the missed chances for general disarmament was a cen- tral theme. Stone listed three occasions during the nuclear age when the U.S. missed chances for disarmament. The first was in 1955 when the Russians ac- cepted the Western proposals for c o nm pr e e n s ive disarmament, however, the West backed down from its previous postion. The second opportunity was just be- fore Kennedy's inauguration when Soviet' officials told Science Advisor Jerome Wiesner that they were ready to nego- tiate if the U.S. would not con- tinuously talk of a dangerous missile gap; but the U.S. did and built a thousand ICBMs. Again, in 1963, a third chance occured when the Soviet Union was pre- pared to accept a total test ban treaty, but Kennedy became cautious in his proposal to Con- gress in order to placate the hawks. The U.S. began another round of underground testing and the possibility for agree- ment was lost.

With these words, HerbertWoodson, Housemaster of Bur-ton House, characterized the.cul-prit, presumably a student,whose innocent "'hack" caused aflood of the first order on thefirst floor. of Burton HouseMonday night.
Several huge wads of com-puter tape were found at thebottom of the main drain; theyhad effectively stopped up thedrain so that no water could passthrough. As a result, the waterbacked up the drain, - floodingthe men's rooms, and ultimatelythe whole floor.
A plumber who was called into repair the damage stated thatthe cost .of fixing the back-upwould be very high, and that hewas convinced that the block-upwas -deliberate. Several peopleinvolved expressed the opinionthat the hack was accomplishedby flushing long lengths of thetape down the toilet-repeatedlyuntil a jam had been effected.The practical jJoker had ob-viously spent the better part ofseveral hours to accomplish hisdeed.
The clean-up process beganabout midnight. Because of thejam, a pipe had overflowed inthe vicinity of the elevator,causing it to cease functioning.Consequently residents had touse the stairs for the most of theevening to ascend to theirrooms. All the rugs on the firstfloor had to be taken up, be-:cause they were saturated with

president and Dave Slesinger forjunior class president.
Curtis Reeves, '73, whotermed the 400 vote turnout"not too bad" said he had nodefinite plans yet. He plans totalk to Steve Allen and com-plete the unfinished. -businessof the freshman council. Grate-ful to the members of 'the classwho voted for him, he will try toget rid of some of the apathy.Reeves said the class will deft-.uitely have a Junior Prom andplans to get started on class ringsas soon- as possible. He alsohopes to initiate communityprojects.
Reeves stated that while hewas for student government, hewould communicate with mem-bers of the class to find out whatthey think the role of studentgovernment should be, admittingthat "perhaps student govern-ment as it stands should bechanged."
"I'm going to cry"Pete White, '72, when he
learned of his victory, reportedlysaid, "I'm going to cry, theycan't do this to me." He refusedfurther comment saying onlythat he would resign as NightEditor of The Tech because ofhis new duties. His campaign hadbeen based on the premise thathis class should have a choice.
Howie Siegal, '71, empha-sized that class government cando almost anything it wants todo. Commenting on the lack ofcandidates, he said that there is"more and more of an apathytowards everything." Siegal'smain effort as president will beto "collect the reflections ofclass members on the changes ofthe last four years." Some of thechanges that he noted were thedeath of student committees,and recent anti-war activities.Siegal felt ambivalent to thechange at the Institute, seeing itas both good and bad.
Steve Carhart, '70, stated thathe was "really interested inworking on Commencement."He plans to try to make itmeaningful in the present politi-cal context. He also wants to setup some means for alumni todesignate the money theydonate to the alumni fund to beused for socially needed changes.

The Tech would lke to congratulate the newlyelected Undergraduate Association President, Wells -Eddleman, and his running mate Steve Ehrmann.
They take over a student government which hashad little impact on the student body which itrepresents. For student government to becomemore than just shallow words will require muchwork and a great deal of involvement by individualstudents.
An encouraging note is the fact that almost1900 students voted in the election, the largestturnout in years. Perhaps this indicates the kind ofinterest- and support that Wells and Steve weredescribing in their campaign.

Exactly what courtesies aredue a foreign dignitary travellingin one's country?
This is a question most con-cerned Americans have had todeal with in the last few days,particularly concerning the statevisit of French premier GeorgesPompidou.
Pompidou has complained vo-cally and angrily about the treat-ment he received in this countryfrom pro-Israel demonstrators,and criticized the Chicago Policefor not taking stronger actionagainst them. Just how justifiedare Pompidou's claims; and doeshe have a right to expect thekind of security he claims heshould have had in this country?
To answer this question re-quires a brief look at the historyof French and American digni-taries travelling abroad and atthe kind of receptions they havereceived. Most poignantly, take alook at Nixon's ventures intoSouth America. There he wastreated very roughly, and whiledispleased with .the anti-American crowds, he never criti-cized or blamed the governmentof the nation involved. Rather,the President accepted his treat-mernt as a way of life in thecountries he visited and did nottry to coerce the governments ofthose countries in any obviousway.
Consider now the treatmentthat foreign dignitaries get whentravelling in France. In thatcountry,: crowds are never al-lowed to disrupt in any mannerthe visitof a foreign dignitary. Ifdemonstrators become too po-tentially. raucus, the police donot hesitate to use riot clubs to
'break up a crowd, and certainlydo not worry about any violationof the civil rights of the indivi-duals they club. Thus, in France,dignitaries never receive the sortof reception that Pompidou didin Chicago.
Now, the question is, whatobligation did American policehave towards the French pre-mier? Pompidou no doubtthought that he would betreated in a foreign country injust the same as any foreign VIPwould be treated in his. Here,though, he made a logical error.
Undeniably, Pompidou had aright to expect sufficient se-curity precautions such that hislife and property would not beendangered. Also, he had a rightto expect a certain amount ofprotocol from the officials ofthe government he was visiting.Beyond -that, however, the res-ponsibility of the receiving go-vernment ends. Pompidou mustremember that while in Francethe demonstrators would havebeen treated more harshly, hewas not in France.' le wastouting America, and b y doingso, was agreeing tacitly not tovioate any of the rules of that
placate Pomnpidou still further,'might start to make concessionsto him that could owily lead toan ultimate worsening of rela-tions between our two countries.Furthermore to "get even,"Nixon might just sell the Israelisdown the river, and not agree topromise them any more aircraftto balance France's new sale--of10 Mirage jets to the Arabs,
thus putting Israel in a danger-ous strategic, position. Finally,Ponpidou's outburst, coupledwith his refusal to meet-wIthAmerica's Jewish leaders, canonly lead to a worsening of thealready deteriorating relationsbetween France and Israel.
Hence we see that-Pompi-dou's behavior while in thiscountry cannot bode well forthe future of the "Free World,"which cannot long stay that wayif Pomrnpidou deliberately con-tinues on the course he seems tohave charted froor himself andfor his nation.
country, and was also agreeingnot to ask that the civil rights ofsomeone else in this country beviolated, for the sole purpose ofhis going unscathed.
Pompidou's feelings werehurt privately, and he had everyright to let this fact slip toNixon, so that Nixon might tryto assuage him somewhat, or atthe very least take official cog;-nizance of Pompidou's dis-pleasure. What Pompidou choseto do, however, was fo publiclyask that the rights of law bedenied to some American citi-zens, for a certain period oftime, so that" he could travelblithely through the country.This sort of request is intoler-able. What may ultimately beeven more intolerable, however,is the unfortunate consequencesthat Pompidou's -spur-of-the-moment outburst might have forFranco-American, , Israeli-American, and Franco-Israeli re-lations. Nixon, in an attempt to
One has to realize how muchthis proposal differs from thepresent system. Now politicalconsiderations are out of order;in this scheme they wvould be theorder of the day.

It is easy tosee that this plan will,-never beadopted; is it as simple to justifythat fact?

Special Labs'(Ed. note: Although this was notreceived as a letter, we run 'thisas an open statement to thecoImrunity.}To the MIT Faculty:
In regard to the coming facul-ty vote on March 11, as mem-bers of the Research, Develop-ment and Technical Employees'Union, we feel retaining theSpecial Labs is vital to the entireMIT community.
People are important, Thefirst impact will e the loss ofmany jobs - faculty, staff, andsupport employees. Another im-pact will be the- loss of import-ant revenue to the Institute. Theseparation of the Special-Labswill -mean that Campus Labs willhave to make up a loss of$8,000,000 that goes for thesupport of maintaining facilitiesused by faculty members, stu-dents, and the entire MIT com-munity (such as medical, library,and plant operation).
MIT's existence as a first rateuniversity is in no small way dueto the Special Labs which pro-vide an additional source ofknowledge and realistic training
Judicial process(Ed. note: This was received byThe Tech as an open letter tothe colmmunity).Dear Professor Smullin:
If you remember, I wasspeaking to you and some othermembers of the Task Force onthe Judicial Process last Tues-day. You asked me to describemy version of a good judicialsystem at MIT. I said that politi-cal cases should be handled in away so tiat the just nature ofthe cause would be taken intoaccount. For example, studentswho hold a disruptive demon-stration in opposition to MIRVwould not be punished. Youwanted to know how one couldapply that principle to cases tenyears hence, and so here is myanswer.
A discipline committee wouldhave to inquire into both thefacts and the issues. A just causewould be one that championedthe interests of the discrimi-nated against and the poor inopposition to the rich and pow-erful. Of course, a fair evaluationof the issues would require anindependent judiciary, whowould not be afraid to rule infavor of a disruption. Theywould h.a-v to be free to say thatthe demonstrators .should not bepunished and that the adminis-tration is wrong. The MIT ad-ministration's current action ofpressing civil and disciplinarycharges against Pete Kramer, aformer member of the Disci-plinary Committee, would notbe allowed under such a system.Another requirement f an in-dependent judiciary is that theirminds be open.
that has and can continue tobenefit students, employees, andfaculty.
If it is important for MIT andthe faculty to ahve a say in the,guidance of the Special Labs,then it is important for theSpecial Labs toremain as part ofMIT.
Your vote not only directlyaffects your own welfare, butalso the ten thousand membersof the MIT community and theirfamilies.

Action plansThe action was planned at a
meeting Monday. night by lessthan 50 people. Sponsored byMITSDS and SMC, the meetingconsidered several possible tac-tics, ranging from a militant ac-tion to a rally. The idea of amilitant action received littlesupport: most of the hour and ahalf was spent discussing -thebest place for a demonstration/picket line.
Confront vs. buildThe issue addressed by most
of those present was whether itwas more important to confront,the recruiter-or to build supportfor the movement. This was re-flected by disagreement on thebest location for the demonstra-tion. Since it was felt that anydemonstration in the area ofE19 would not be very visible,

The ElectionAn innovation for this year's
election was to tabulate the bal-lots by computor. The computertabulation for UAP showed Eand E a head of Dresser-Bovarnick by 55 votes on thethird ballot, but 60 cards did notregister in the computer tabula-tion because they were eitherincorrectly punched or notpunched at all.
This situation prompted JohnGunther, '72, who was workingon the tabulation, to request ahand recount, which was made.The results of this hand countwere announced at 1:00 am andare considered the officials re-sults.
The problems with the com-puter tabulation began when thepre-punched ballot cards wouldnot be accepted by the sorter.They were then duplicated on anIBM 360 and started through thesorter. Next the tabulation crewwas forced to leave the sorter inthe computation center and hadto take the cards to a machine inBuilding E19.
Kryzwicki felt that publicityefforts for this year's electionmight have been improved, andsuggests that new publicity ap-proaches be looked into for nextyear's election. Another practiceinstituted this year was to havethe candidates supply the pollworklefs.

Next Wednesday's faculty.meeting will discuss these resolu-tions more formally and proba-bly vote on whether to retainthe labs, convert them to non-military research, OrFask MIT to.divest itself completely of thecontroversial laboratories.
Several UCS members havesaid that one of the reasons forthe meeting is to allow peoplewho support differing actionsfor similar reasons to reachagreement. For -example, someare calling for divestment so thatMIT will no longer be associatedwith military research, whileothers are asking for retention sothat the labs might be converted
Speakers at the meeting willinclude' Professor Bernard Feld,VIII, Professor Philip Morrison,VIII, Professor Ascher Shapiro,II, Professor Thomas Sheridan,II, and Professor Wallace VanderVelde, XVI.

ervation of "academic freedom."However, academic freedom isan attribute of the whole univer-sity - of- students and juniorfaculty as well as tenured fac-ulty. Others might even considertenure as a threat to academicfreedom as it often has beenused (in the same manner asgrades) to reward conformityand specialization and punishcreativity and diversity; Nisbetwrites, "Its [tenure's] crime, isnot its cost in dollars but increativity." However, tenurecould be used to reward thiscreativity. If tenure were elimin-ated, the staff would have morefreedom, but this does not meanthat they would be morecreative than at present. Scholar-ly creativity is a characteristic ofthe individual, independent ofhis contractual circumstances..
What I think disturbs stu-dents most about te.ure is theignoring of "teaching ability" asa criterion in tenure decisions.One of the reasons (rationaliza-tions?) why "teaching ability"has been seemingly ignored bythe departments is the difficultyand ambiguity of defining and.applying this standard (thisseems a particularly difficulttask for behavioralists). Hexterraises the question: on the basisof "teaching ability" alone,ceteris paribus, should a univer-sity give tenure to (or valuemore highly) the excellent lec-turer who is a poor seminarleader or to the poor lecturerwho is an excellent seminarleader? It is far simpler, andmore in their area of expertise,for the faculty to rationalizethat research publications haveintrinsic, educational value forstudents in the field, and, con-sidering that most learning todayis done (or should be done).byreading, that the publication of amajor work represents great"teaching ability" to a large,national student audience.
The Political Science Depart-ment investigated the teachingprowess of Fein, Johnson, andSaloma; its ambiguous and un-differentiable results only con-firm those observations. If stu-dents wish to modify the presentcriteria of tenure, they face theprocedural difficulty of aiiscover-ing fair and standard measures ofdifferentiating good teachersfrom bad 'teachers. Of course,the near impossibility of reach-ing any consensus as to "what isa good teacher?" will limit theirsuccess; however, the faculty atthis time seems amenable to newapproaches. Yet, the fruitless-ness of this strategy at presentshould not be underestimated.
Because tenure is not an aca-demic (i.e. unimportant) issuefor students today - as evi-denced by refusals of tenureprecipitating campus unrest ac-ross the nation - I have decidedto add to this series a fourtharticle describing possible strate-gies and tactics of changing thepresent system.

munity. Since such communitieswere small and tightly-knit, in-tegration of new members oc-cured either soon after arrival ornot at all; so, the tenure decisionwas probably more consensual,more, a matter' of compatibilitythan a "rejection" of one profes-sor in favor of another.
However, the academic com-mu nication-network expandedbeyond the individual collegewhen the writing of a professorat one end of a continent couldreach and inspire students at theother -end during his lifetime.The frequency and ease of thiscommunication increased radi-cally 'through breakthroughs incommunications (and transpor-tation) technology; particularlynotable were the developmentsof academic (and professional)journals and paperbacks. A pro-·fessor's name became associated.less with his "liquid" assets (Le.lecturing and teaching - oral -prowess) at a particular univer-sity and more with his "solid"assets (i.e. books and writings) inhis specialty. A national publica-tions market removed the bar-riers separating universities; withthis increased interaction amongprofessors on a regional and na-tional level, individual univer-sities became homes within anational "academic- commun-ity." This development might beviewed as an increase in horizon-tal mobility or the establishmentof-a national (vs. local) market-place for academic ideas andtalents.
--Meanwhile, American univer-_sities had received the aid andencouragement of both business.and government; MIT for instan-ce, was established under theLand-Grant Act of 1862. In timeof national emergency, thesesame universities. willingly re-moved their academic garb'andcontributed significantly to thesolution of these crises. Indeed,the help of a collegiate "brain-trust" in extricating the nationfrom a Depression is evidence ofthis; the development of theatonmic bomb by university pro-fessors was conclusive proof oftheir worth. By the end of WorldWar 11, both government andbusiness recognized the value oftraditional, "academic" profes-sors outside their classrooms andwere willing to pay well for their

This development meant greatervertical mobility for professorsthan ever before and freed themfrom their traditional depend-ence on academia.
These two developments shat-tered the relative isolationism ofthe universities that had charac-terized their existence for cen-
'turies. A professor now com-petes on an open market acrossthe nation for jobs in corporatebodies, including universities.Because of this, his "success"significantly relates to hisachievements and competence inhis specific professional arearather than his performance as ateacher. The ethos of these menis no longer Scholasticism andteaching, but professionalismand careerism.
In short, as the professorialoutlook has changed, the histori-cal justification for tenure hasdisappeared. Professors have ac-quired the economic mobilityand flexibility, the absence ofwhich tenure was intended as acompensation; a professor's af-filiation with a particular univer-sity has become more transientthan communal.
However, tenure has taken onnew meanings. As a professor isawarded tenure by peers in hisfield (i.e. by the departmentwithin his university) on thebasis of the worth to the profes-sion of his research (as usuallyrevealed in his publications) ten-ure is a sign of status as aprofessional. The possibility ofultimately receiving tenure at amajor university can inducejunior faculty members to stayon; the status of appointment tosuch a prestigious post is aninducement to remain. However,because professors often are of-ferred tenure at several univer-sities concurrently, the professormay feel little affiliation withthe particular school he chooses.For example, in 196g two -ten-ured political science professorswere asked by their departmenteither to return from leave toteach or to resign; both chose toleave.
F Furthermore, universities usetenure as a quality control de-vice to insure that their staff isof the highest caliber. In thissense, tenure represents a "locallicensing" procedure in highereducation, which has been not-'able in its (e.g. AAUP's) refusalto even consider the problem oflicensing in the professions. Ten-ure might best be seen as apass/fail grading system for thecream of academia. However, aswith grades, once tenure hasbeen awarded, the universityloses most of its leverage on aprofessor's performance. As ten-ure is a discriminatory-rewardssystem, people can aTgue pro-and-con the need for such asystem, the validity of choosingparticular differentiating stan-dards and the reliability of thesecriteria.
Alternatively, some state thattenure is necessary for the pres-
