By iReuvena M. Lerner The faculty discussed possible changes in freshman housing and a proposed pornography policy at their monthly meeting on Wednesday. Professor Mary C. Potter, who chaired the Freshman Housinlg Committee, summarized her committee's report for the faculty. She said that the "4residenltial experience is essential" for a full undergrad- uate educational experience, and described the present system of as- signing 'living groups as "~exciting, but chaotic."' Potter said that under the new programn, all freshmen would be pre- assigned to dormitories before arriving at 1MIT, and would live there for at least one year. Instead of the currenzt Residence/Orientation Weeks freshmen would participate in "Orientation Weekc," during which freshmen wo:uld participate in "mcore effective" orientation ac- tivities than presently exist. Faculty reactions to the proposal were generally negative. Associate Professor James L. Kirtley '67 said he was "caught by surprise" by the housing report, and called it a "'lousy idea." He also disputed the committee's opinion that foreign and minority students are underrep- resented at ILG's. Kirtley said that while this might have been true in the past, it is nlo longer the case. Undergraduate Association President Paul Antico '91 said that while freshmen might be unhappy with the residence choices they Williamn Chu/The Tech make, "choice based on limited knowledge is better than no choice at Students slept on the sculptures and enjoyed the last days of -Indiana summer this all."

This informal opportunity to hear. brainchild of graduate stu- dent Kevin, Gurne-y, had its premiere this Mnonday night, featuring a variety of performers, includ- ing MIT students, staff, and local stars. Monday night's music was mostly in the folk vein, ranging from bluegrass to folk/ rock to Irish folk. The performers were generally good, but there, were a couple of problems. For one, the music was very quiet for Lobdell, discouraging people from talking or moving around during the sets, so there was the feeling that it was a formal con- cert, which is what the event was trying to stray from. And, although the music var- ied between different kinds of folk, it was all folk, and it seemed that its appeal, judging from the turnout, is narrow. Gur- ney says he was cautious for the first night to make sure everything would go smnoot~h- ly, but will deal with some of the problems for future nights, and feature more music. outside of the '.folk" label.

Paul Resnickc G and Jonathan Amsterdamn G played guitar, and fiddle. They played some English tunes as well as some country. They were good musicians, but it seemed, except for- a few hot moments, that they could have I let more rosin fly. John Hanekamp G was next, playing guitar, joined by Gurney for a couple of songs.
