Simplicity, overall, is the true beauty of this book. Text is text, and photos are photos, and never the twain shall meet. Initials printed at the bottom of each page signify the title of the section in which the page falls, seeming almost to have been placed there in order to keep the lonely page numbers company. It is a small detail, but that much more elegant for the simple, unobtrusive way in which it adorns the page. There are no "artsy" graphics cluttering up Technique's space with unneces- sary flourishes. The photography and brief prose are allowed to speak for themselves. Most of what they have to say is good. One of the more lucid statements is a photo of Building 4, taken from Killian Court by Yueh Z. Lee '95. Full of angles and contrasts, the picture at first glance is relentlessly dominated by the building, which seems to jut out of the page, looming huge and intimidating over the tree and sculpture nearby. But should your eyes happen to catch the figure seated at the bottom left of the photo, reclining against the building's monstrous pillar, suddenly all attention is diverted in there to that tiny speck of humanity, the only one in the photo. This man takes on almost an heroic stature, resting so casually beside the imposing face of MIT's main building. Then, when you manage to tear your gaze from him, perhaps you'll be drawn to notice the incredibly subtle, yet totally obvious, shadow thrown on the build- ing by the flag flying high on its pole, waving in the breeze. But the most gripping photograph in the book is of Christina Park, a vibrant young woman tragically killed in a plane crash earli- er this year. The picture, taken by Stephen S. Hau '94, shows Christina on a balcony of the church at Copley Square, looking back over her left shoulder at some person or obIject unidentified in the photograph, but replaced in Technique by a picture of the Senior House on the facing page. Wilfredo Sanchez, Jr. '94 took this photograph from above the yard, aid the combined effect of the two pictures r.akes it appear that Christina is looking at once back at her home, and yet beyond the commotion of the courtyard festivities. The photo of Christina is charming; its placement is intelli- gent, poignant, more heart-warming than heart-breaking. It is a fitting tribute to a woman so full of life. This single photographic moment makes the book a success in my eyes, but I have to admit to a biased opinion. Imagining for a moment that this pair of pictures does not exist, there are plenty of other merits to the book. Some have already been mentioned. There is also the collection of color skyline photos that has come to he expected in Tech- nique. The two-page spread, by Eric G. Scharin G, of a fiery pre-dawn sky reflected in the glassy Charles River is particularly bril- liant. The book's strengths are bold and obvious. To find its weaknesses you have to look closer Technique 1994 than most people probably ever will. 9. Millionaires inprison. TOP TEN MOST CLUELESS 5.

The book reveals the spirit, the joys, the frustrations, and the torments of the MIT experience.

Technique is a wholly student-run publication which receives no funding from the Institute.
