ODSA. shPould m nrot t i i restrict freec oins r rl i While most of the students were away from MIT this sum- I ff mer, the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs (ODSA) re- 5 leased a policy for campus films. On July 12, Dean for Student w R Affairs Shirley M. McBay convened a group to establish re- m strictions on the right of the Lecture Series Committee (LSC) i and other campus groups to show sexually explicit films. EF The policy says the Institute will "not categorically deny 52 space to an MIT-recognized group for the showing of sexually explicit or pornographic films. The Institute will, however, make decisions regarding the time, circumstances, and location of the showing of such films. . ." The Dean's Office will appoint an ad hoc committee of ap- proximately 12 people who are to be a representative cross-section of the MIT community to "develop and adopt criteria for those sexually explicit films that may be shown on- campus" and to judge whether individual films meet those criteria. The supposed cross-sections will consist of three LSC members, three faculty members, three staff members, and three other students nominated by the Undegraduate Association Nominations Committee. Under the veil of representing everyone affected by campus films, the Dean's Office will create an arbitrary group which will impose its tastes and standards on the entire MIT community. The committee will review all X-rated or unrated sexually ex- Guest Column/Alex B. Rosen plicit films. If a film does not meet the committee's criteria, it cannot be shown on Registration Day of either term or during the R/O period and it cannot be shown in Kresge Auditorium.

Over the last few years, it has housed astronomical instruments, drawings of MIT, and complex polyhedral sculptures colored according to mathematical schemes by Morton Bradley, all of which are now semi-permanent exhibits at the MIT Museum.

Hayden Gallery, Building 14, first floor, opposite the Science Library [moving to E-15, Arts a Media Technology Building, this winter]; open 10-4 weekdays, 1-5 weekends, North Beacon Street Bridge closed for random intervals between shows. The Hayden gallery displays mostly enig- matic and avant-garde art, similar to the campus sculpture collection. This art is often called "installations" to distinguish it from easily categorizable and therefore ba- nal forms like painting and sculpture. The first exhibit of the fall is always a collection of (mostly pop art) posters and prints, with the special attraction that individual students and living groups can borrow the art for the rest of the year after the Arsenal Street Bridge exhibit. Just fill out a form to enter the poster loan lottery. The material freaks out from there; by the end of the year, you should have seen things ranging from a huge blank gray canvas that turns out to be a window ("Batten," 1983) to a display of common objects from the 1930's and 1980's showing how ideas of "streamlining" and "modernism" have changed. The turnover in the Hayden Gallery is much faster than almost anywhere else, so go early, go often. - Diana ben-Aaron
