Loel leaves .MIT moonstruc i It Ed. note: 'This is a personal comment on the issues raised by Captain Lovel's visit to MITrr last Thursday. I By Robert Dennis Captain James Lovell's visit to the ii Institute Thursday was another stop on Photos by Al Goldberg NASA's public relations campaign since & George Flynn the Apollo 8 flight to maximize public support for the space program. In the background, however, lay the in- evitable question of what will be the size and extent of the program follow- ing Project Apollo. Astronaut Lovell proved himself to be affable, humble, and, above all, human. In the question and answer session in -the Sala de Puarto Rico following a presentation to him by UAP Maria Kivisild '69, he Commented on the projected mission to Mars which would take more than one year in duration. On a trip of such extent, Captain Lovell declared, "I'd obviously need more than Frank and Bill along." On the crucial general question of federal funding for post-Apollo plans, the astronaut, as well as his superiors from NASA, were understandably less candid and forthright. Answering a question on this subject during the press conference prior to his Kresge appearance, Captain Lovell stated that, in addition to its other numerous ad- vantages, the space program was a boon to the nation's "prestige." Considering that American prestige has fallen to miasmic lows in many parts of tihe world during the Vietnam War, this argument is certainly a valid one since our successful space missions, and the open manner in which they have been presented to the world, have at least won worldwide admiration for the vi- vid displays of our technological pro- gress. Yet, one might forcefully argue that the prestige to be gained a few times a I year from the space program is worth less than -the prestige to be gained from efforts toward correcting the unfor- tunate view of our nation that the rest f . of the world sees every day - that is, to concentrate all possible resources toward making. our cities more livable, reducing poverty, and eliminating the many forms of violence and strife that have shaken our nation -wand its image - in recent times. The space program, of course, has greatly benefited the nation in the contributions it has made to many fields (such as medical technology) from work arising from space research. It has certainly been useful in providing employment for thousands of engineers and technicians. Most of all, it is successfully' and spectacularly satisfy- ing man's quest both for adventure and for knowledge about his universe and its origins. Opponents many still argue, however, that the space program is a type of luxury item that should be put aside, or at least slowed down, until we take meaningful steps to make America truly a land of promise and oppor- tunity for all. Opponents of the space program should also consider that its annual budget is only about orne t'-ntie't of the total federal outlays for defense of $81 billion. Considering the Vietnam War (which itself comprises an annual drain of $25 billion) and some other questionable aspects of our defense policies, space opponents might be better motivated to concentrate their pressures on pruning the defense bud- get. With the moon landing expected sometime this year, the Administration will soon be faced with making the difficult decisions that wil determine the future of the space program. An early and lasting end to the Vietnam War would certainly give more flexibi- lity to the decisions, but this unfortun- ately does- not seemr likely at the present time. In any event, when the time of decision comes, I would like to see the Administration give top priority to the domestic social problems. For while the space program could conceiv- ably be slowed down somewhat with- out great harm and the defense budget might be proportionately cut through proper new foreign policies, our urgent problems/at homrne cannot wait much "iongei.- - IAGE 6 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1969 THE TECH __

New dance class opened to MLIT, ·ant The MIT Drunashop and the Department of Athletics will offer two courses in dance, taught by a welld known New York choreographer, e~ieerwh James Waring. Classes will be held in the Dance Studio of McCormick Hall for ten weeks on Tuesdays, beginning this evening. A technique class for elernen- fary and intermediate students at 6:30P.M. wDil be followed at 8:00 P.M. by a class in dance composition which will be suitable for beginners and more advanced students. Either class -may be WL taken separately. The course in elements of dance composistion will be divided into the following parts: Movement analysis', pattern and texture; motive, phrase and sentence; focus; structure and sources, and group improvisation. Work to be done by students will range from strictly limited to very free assg- to get away ments, and will include optional work r - w~ in related areas.

Prof. John Graves, Humanities, said that while- there are some individual exceptions, as a whole the system is bad. Part of the problem is that there seems to be different conceptions of what role should be played by the advisor. Should he be a registration officer, a counselor, a guide through the intricacies of the Institute rules,' a combination of the above, or just what?

Alternate ways of assigning students to advisors was also discussed. Included were students picking advisors, and assigning on a living group basis, an advisor for a floor, or something similar.

Discussion broke up into a social hour, after which the members of the committee went to various dorms and fraternities, to meet more students and gain a better picture of student life at MIT. Some members of the committee said that they were happy with the open discussion but wished that it could have gone on longer.
