I Director of Student Financial Services Jack Frailey should I I therefore postpone implementation of the new systemn at least I until next fall, and take some timie to examine thoroughly and I alter appropriately the proposal. I Both Frailey and Dean for Student Affairs Shirley McBay are C rightly concerned about the effects of the new system on needy I students. Frailey's finding that relatively few students on finan- cial Lid use deferred payments, however, simply indicates that those receiving Institute grants have no use for such a1program. I

The students who need the deferral option, and who w1i/1 be hurt 3 by the fee system, are those who receive no financial aid and pay a I for their own education, often by working during the term.

ii The Soul of a New Machine, by Trcy Kid- 2 der. Ant Allantic· Book. R In a world where science is blamed for 3ut does it do windowIs? 0 many of mankind's problems, it is rare to a see the publication of a book which at- tempts to understand science rather than to decry it. It is an even more unusual even when this book deals with applied science or technology rather than "pure" science. When such a book does appear, and its publication is hailed by critics, scientists, and general readers alike, a true milestone in nonfiction science writing has been achieved. The Soul of a New Machine is such a book. The setting is only a few miles from Cambridge - the Westborough site of the minicomputer manufacturer Data General. The cast of characters is a group of Data General (DG) engineers. including several MIT alumni. The plot is the development of' the Eagle 32-bit "supermini," a com- puter which will help Data General con- tinue its phenomenal growth rate. This backdrop may not sound promising to anyone but computer engineers, but Tracy Kidder turns it into a story of interest to anyone concerned -with the American workplace or the workings of "the scien- titic mind." The book's framework is documentary, with occasional forays into the backgrounds of the major characters. There are several factors, however, which Kidder's biggest contribution to the uni- book raises a central question: Why would The'Soul of a New Machine is a unique prevent this book from being a dry account que style of this book is his eye for detail. an engineer, fresh out of college, work book with many facets.
