1 Jeffrey. Cohen G By Adnan H. Lawa Dgtal Equpment Corporaton hndered a computer scence student, who was workng at DEC under the V-A nternshp program, from completng a master's thess because t was afrad the thess would leak propretary nformaton, alleged Jeffrey. Cohen G, the student. Cohen left the V-A program last fall. But Joel Moses PhD '67, head of the Department of Electrcal Engneerng and Computer- Scence, sad that unavodable delays n software development - not ntentonal DEC nterference - had prevented Cohen from completng hs thess n a tmely manner. Cohen was n the fnal phase of hs nternshp wth DEC, one of the largest partcpants n the program. He was workng on software desgn whch nvolved copyrghted algorthms. Accordng to Cohen, he had no dea when he began hs work that he would be workng wth propretary materal or that he would run nto such a controversy. Last fall, however, Cohen was nformed by DEC that t dd not want certan propretary materal to be made publc, accordng to ass Tewhley ts Bexley to change ru= sh poractlces By Mchael Gojer Assocate Dean for Student Affars James R.

One of ts suggestons was that he wrte a thess that would be sgned by hs advser and would enable hm to use hs desgn - but that would not be publshed. Ths would be an unacceptable soluton, Cohen sad. However, Moses, who s MT's lason wth DEC, sad some propretary ssues had arsen, but had been straghtened out at the tme that Cohen submtted hs thess proposal last summer. By Mchael Gojer and Thomas T. Huang The Offce of the Dean for Student Affars s "serously consderng" changng MT's alcohol polcy to requre students to regster wth the Campus Actvtes Offce both prvate and publc partes where alcohol s served n dormtory common areas, accordng to Barbara M. Fenman, drector of student actvtes. The current polcy only requres such regstraton for publc partes. The proposed change s only n the dscusson phase, Fenman stressed. A Feb. 9 draft memorandum outlnng the proposed change strred anger among student leaders. Thomas P. Knght '90, charman of the Undergraduate Assocaton Commttee on the Alcohol Polcy, clamed that Assocate Dean for Student Affars ntern alleges DEC hndered vvork Cohen admtted that he was never actually prevented from gong ahead wth hs work. But he felt that DEC put many stumblng blocks n ths way whch made t very dffcult for hm to proceed. Accordng to Moses, t became evdent last fall that Cohen needed certan crucal software for hs project. Ths software was stll beng developed, and t was apparent that t would be unavalable for a long tme, Moses sad. (Please turn to page 6) Faculty wll consder twog resolutons on ABS By Andrew L. Fsh The faculty wll consder two resolutons concernng the dsbandng of the Department of Appled Bologcal Scences at tomorrow's regular meetng. One resoluton, drafted by members of the department, calls on Presdent Paul E. Gray '54, Provost John M. Deutch '61, and Charman of the Faculty Bernard J. Freden MCP '57 to "appont a faculty commttee to revew the process that led to the closng of the department" n order to "determne the lessons to be learned ley durng R/O week, but had not receved any complants of that nature regardng other dormtores.

Bexley dd not fll all of ts beds untl October, although there were 147 total crowds at other nsttute houses ths year, accordng to Tewhey. n a Feb. 29 letter to all Bexley resdents, Tewhey sad that "the dmnshed popularty of the house s drectly attrbutable to the way students are treated durng R/O and to the appearance of some sectons of the house." Tewhey sad that some freshmen had been dened tours or gven abrupt tours durng R/O week, told that they dd not belong, or told that there were "no rooms at. the nn."

The other resoluton, proposed by sx faculty members ncludng one professor n ABS, s crtcal of the "precptous announcement n January" that the department would be dssolved. The resoluton sad the decson "has caused severe and contnung dffcultes for the students, faculty and staff of ABS," and has also created problems for departments whch "must absorb new faculty and students nto ther programs." The resoluton states that the faculty "deplores the absense of due process and procedure n the dsbandng of ABS," and that such decsons should requre consultatons wth the executve commttee of the MT Corporaton, the deans of the schools nvolved, the heads of the departments nvolved, and the departments' vstng commttees.

Because the UA receved a $10,000 "emergency" grant from Assocate Provost S. J. Keyser last fall - n order to help meet soarng demands from student actvtes - Rodrguez sad that the UA had receved $66,300 ths year. McBay sad she asked Provost John Deutch '61 for the ncrease n funds two months ago durng the yearly budget revew for her offce, and that Deutch approved the request. She sad the ncommon area (halls, lounges, and any other area[s] of the lvng group)" but that prvate rooms were excluded from the polcy.

The proposed polcy orgnated n her offce and was shown to MT lawyers for consultaton, she added.

Bexley has no formal house government, and house ssues must be resolved at house meetngs. Whle some Bexley resdents have ndependently volunteered to devse an R/O strategy, no frm decsons have been made on how to establsh communcaton wth the ODSA. Tewhey sad he antcpated that the stuaton at Bexley would mprove. He declned to comment, however, on what measures he would take f t dd not.

He sad he had found hmself repeatedly havng to defend the appearance of the walls durng R/O week, and that he could not justfy t.

As we walk down a drt path nto the woods, he tells me about 14-year-old Shaun Oullette. n 1986, Shaun was the new kd n town - Canton, MA - and he was eager to ft n wth the crowd at school. He found sknny, redhared classmate Rod Matthews to be especally frendly. What Shaun ddn't know was that Rod was mentally ll. '"Rod was sufferng from hyperactvty and takng Rtaln, whch causes radcal changes n mood and behavor," the lawyers explaned upon seeng the damage, as f the drug were the culprt. Shortly before Halloween, Rod began to play wth fre, lghtng peces of paper and lettng them burn down to hs fngers. Rod began to talk wth hs frends about kllng somebody to see how t felt. He even wrote a letter to a hs hgh school health teacher about t, but the teacher ddn't respond. "Granted, he commtted the crme, but ths s a sck boy. He run free and mad - should be n a mental hosptal. He's not n hs rght mnd... He was cryng for help. f we had known he had wrtten that letter, we would have been able to help hm," Rod's father explaned, as f untl the kllng he had never notced hs son was gong mad. On Nov. 20, 1986, Rod lured Shaun nto the Canton woods, supposedly to buld a fort n the snow. Then, n the quet of the forest, Matthews beat hs class- - -a o r pt C---ce-olpr - Searchng for a moral to the grsly n rl lurder story Hello, darkness. At the edge of the forest, we meet.

Why dd he kll hm? Ddn't he have everythng he could possbly want? What s the meanng? What s the moral to the story? So he was crazy! So t was senseless! What could we have done to prevent t? Why can't we just forget about t? "Darkness, answer me! Do you create ths human msery, or are you only here to lap up the tears that follow?" ask.

To the Edtor: On Feb. 25, the Black Graduate Students' Assocaton and the Black Students' Unon sponsored an nformal roundtable dscusson wth guest speaker Presdent Paul E. Gray '54. The vews n the letter wrtten by Stephen Fernandez '88 ["Mnorty dalogue was nadequate," March 4] about ths roundtable dscusson may have been nterpreted as beng representatve of all Latno and Black students at MT. For example, Fernandez's concluson stated that, "The meetng wth Gray just showed me agan that f we want to a- cheve any gans for our people, we cannot expect the support of the admnstraton. We have to work for t ourselves.'' Ths concluson does not necessarly represent the vews of all Latno students at MT. The efforts to make the MT communty a pluralstc envronment are renforced by ndvduals from many dfferent backgrounds. Although the dscusson wth Gray was problematc n that t seemed to vascllate between true dalogue durng some tmes and a forum for rhetorcal confrontatons at other tmes, ts orgnal ntent represented a step forward. Several students rased mportant ssues such as undergraduate, graduate, and faulty recrutment and the establshment of permanent ethnc studes and womens' studes departments. Although no solutons were offered, the meetng set a precedent for future communcaton of deas between admnstraton, students, and faculty about mnorty ssues.

Urbanowsk's statement dd not specfy what concerns Stephanan rased wth Gray. The bank was told that publcaton was mmnent, and the book's ntegrty could not be mantaned f the chapters were removed, Taylor sad. Accordng to Teresa A. Ehlng, acqustons edtor at the MT Press, Howell sought to have the book's publcaton delayed untl after the electon. At frst MT Press offcals thought the bank was concerned that the book had a pro-dukaks tone, snce the bank has a "hyperconservatve" mage, Ehlng sad. But now t seems that the truth may be just the opposte. The bank's poston s not clear, Ehlng sad. Ehlng thought the bank's explanaton was rather "lame." The artcles for the Wook had been selected n the fall, she sad. Why the bank wated untl last week to rase objectons s a mystery. "Clearly, there was some concern n the hghest levels [of the bank]" about the book, Lampe sad. But Lampe was not famlar wth the nternal poltcs of that organzaton. Dukaks role debated Dukaks s basng hs presdental campagn on the clam that hs admnstraton was responsble for Massachusetts' economc "mracle" - a mracle that he could spread to the whole country as presdent. But the book does not credt Dukaks wth beng responsble for the recovery. "t s dffcult for any governor to have an mpact on a regonal economy," accordng to Lampe, who s also assstant drector of MT's ndustral Lason Program. The role of the governor s not to create a "mracle," but to acknowledge and support t. Also, t would be wrong to draw black-and-whte conclusons about so complex a topc, Lampe sad. Lampe and Ehlng dd not beleve the book was "ant- Dukaks" or had a specfc poltcal thrust. "Dukaks has, lke any poltcal person,... taken credt for somethng n whch he may not have been [a key partcpant]," Ehlng sad. But she dd credt Dukaks wth encouragng the recovery. Snce the Globe artcle appeared, the controversy has been heavly covered n the news meda. On the one hand, "we'll sell a lot more books," Ehlng sad.

Fnals featurng Vtal Scence, 3 Card Monte, Bucket O' Lunch, and Negatve Ren'forcement. Walker Memoral, Saturday, March 12. By PETER DUNNT xw ~THLE SCC has often scheduled nnovatve and dverse bands V for ther Thursday nght V~ V pubs, and whle ther Battle of the Bands s n one respect meant to promote growth and dversty n MT's rock communty, the judges' tendency to favor the more pop-orented/party-rock bands can only stultfy just such varety. Although four strong and dfferent bands competed n last Saturday's fnals of SCC's Battle of the Bands, ths prejudce surfaced to gve Bucket O' Lunch an upset vctory over Negatve Renforcement for the ttle of Best Orgnals Band. Vtal Scence (Jeanette Ryan, Wellesley, vocals; Ray Zepeda '88, saxophone; Scott Lchtman '88, gutar; John Bartholomew G, bass; Gary Leskowtz '88, drums; Erc Ostlng '88, keyboard) began the nght off as the frst of the two covers bands. Despte a competent lead snger n Ryan, ther vocal harmones were not exceptonally strong, evdent n a weak rendton of Mssng Persons' "What Are Words For?" to lead off the set. Ths weakness would become more apparent later n a poor attempt at a densely harmonzed Yes cover. Stll, Vtal Scence showed tght playng and a full sound, thus strengthenng ther performance after a slow start by playng to ther forte. After audence members flled the dance floor, the band got Walker rockng wth strong rendtons of The (Englsh) Beat's "Mrror n the Bathroom" and Herbe Hancock's "Karmba." Most defntely a dance band, Vtal Scence played well when not strayng too far from ther nche. 3 Card Monte (Andrew Howe '9, vocals, harmonca; Evan Hansen '88, gutar; Chad Raymond '88, drums) followed as Vtal Scence's compettor for Best Covers Band, and surely rased qute a quandary for the judges. t's hard enough when you get two strong bands but even harder when ther muscal tastes dverge so wdely. n stark contrast to the more manstream pop qualty of Vtal Scence, 3 Card Monte stuck to smple blues. Crsp but sparse drums, gutar, and harmonca combned wth the gravel voce of lead snger Howe for the requred understated sound. Bucket O' Lunch (Peter Gasparn '88, vocals, harmonca; Don Woodlock '88, Cheftans brng THE CHEFTAN S Wang Celebrty Seres. Symphony Hall, Frday, March 11. Event n The Tech Performng Arts Seres.

The Cheftans, no strangers to Symphony Hall, were a good choce to add some tradtonal sensblty to the seres. They came together 25 years ago under the leadershp, of Sean O'Rada, a composer who late n lfe came under the spell of the rural musc of hs natve country. Known then as Ceoltor Chualann, these former post offce workers were dssatsfed wth the almost classcal style of O'Rada's ensemb:. and formed the Cheftans to contnue playng the rural musc they had been playng regularly n a Dubln pub. Over the years, personnel changes have had an effect on the band and ts repertore. The addton of classcal harpst Derek Bell n the md-70s swung the group back towards the musc of 17th-century rsh composer Turlough O'Carolan, but the more recent addton of Matt Molloy,(formerly of the Bothy Band) has re- A 12 s best covers band gutar; Krsztna Holly '89, bass; Peter Blaynev '88, drums) took the stage as the frst orgnals band, and once agan brought the contest back to the party-rock sound. Walker Memoral s not the best place for a band to play - the large cavernous room gves a boomy qualty to the sound - and ths proved Lunch's worst enemy as they mxed the drums too far forward and Gasparn's vocals too far back. Ths drawback became most notable on Lunch's covers of the most manstreampop of ho and Scruffy the Cat songs, "Squeeze Box" and "My Baby (She's Alrght)." Both songs have a strong nstrumental and vocal flavor to them, yet ths was lost beneath the drums n both cases. Lunch's second drawback also manfested tself n ther two covers: a lack of consstent personalty.

Frday, they demonstrated ther abltes n both areas. They featured dance tunes and ppng ars n equal parts, wth musc from the varous soundtracks they have been featured on and of course, a lberal smatterng of the harp tunes of Carolan. We knew where they were headed from the start, as they opened wth an ar from the PBS specal, "Ballad of the rsh Horse" that quckly changed nto a Kerry-style polka set. We also knew that we, the audence, were n a bt of trouble, as the sound was muddy and dstant, much akn to lstenng to a record through earmuffs rather than headphones. t one of the most acoustcally perfect halls n New England, the sound engneerng could have been better handled. The outstandng pece of the evenng, earnng the longest ovaton, was by Molloy, who showed why many consder hm the best flautst ever to play rsh musc. An achngly beautful ar was followed by a reel, n whch he actually dueted wth hmself by settng up a gentle rhythm wth low tones and overblowng the melody on top. t s a shame that hs brllance n the ensembles was lost due to a poor sound mx. The damage dd not stop there. Sean Keane's fddle s exceptonally sharp and cuttng, as though wrapped n cellophane. The sound system made t seem that each note was covered n wet wool. Hs playng of "The ron Man," a Scottsh strathspey, was outstandng, but badly marred by the lack of hgh end sound. Derek Bell moved deftly from harp to T tompan (rsh cymbalom or hammered dulcmer) to electrc harpschord and even to pano for a rousng run-through of Cotton Eyed Joe, descrbed as "the natonal anthem of Texas." Keven Conneff plaved adequate percusson, even f he does have an annoyng way of waverng nto a note as f fndng t by tral and error. Paddy Moloney was as always the genal host, explanng hs plumbng (the complex Ulleann ppes) and descrbng the band's latest explots, whch nclude a trp to Chna and a soundtrack for a new Meryl Streep move. Other hgh ponts of the evenng were provded wth the cooperaton of the evenng's guests, The Nelson Vllage Dancers from New Hampshre. They met the Cheftans durng a performance several years ago, when the avd contra dancers jumped up for a quck fgure durng an encore. The band was charmed to see dancng much lke rsh set dancng so far from home, and have nvted the dancers to jon them on four other dates on ths tour. Band and dancers sent the crowd joyfully nto ntermsson but ther return n the second half was even better, as Moloney ntroduced one of New England's fnest muscans and wrters of dance tunes, Bob McQullen, to jon them on pano. Bob was not expectng to make hs Symphony Hall debut, but gracefully consented when he was paged at halftme and joned the band attred n work shoes and nsulated vest. Though the sets seemed short, and the band seemed tred, they generously returned for a long encore and an assurance that they would be back agan. musc together MAKNG MUSC TOGETHER Openng Concert.

The opener of the "Makng Musc Together" festval whch has brought 285 Sovet muscans, dancers, composers and poets to Boston -was a nghtmare. Well, not qute a nghtmare. After the de rgueur performances of the Sovet and Amercan natonal anthems, Sez Ozawa started the evenng proper by conductng the Festval Orchestra - whch ncluded 37 Sovets and 60 Amercans - n musc from Prokofev's Romeo and Julet. The rhythmc drve of Montagues and Capulets was undenably exctng and there was energy and drama to the other two movements too; on the other hand, there was very lttle subtlety. The strngs lost focus at tmes, and the orchestra sometmes played on the loud sde. Stll, the Prokofev was undenably enjoyable. Then the horror began (and 'm not just talkng about Ozawa's falure to understand that n the Sovet Unon men as well as women accept flowers at the ends of performances, even f they do have pnk rbbons attached). Dzhansug Kakhdze took the podum, and launched voln solost Serge Stadler and the orchestra nto Andre Petrov's Concerto for Voln and Orchestra. Now, Lev Gnsburg, vho we are led to beleve by a press release s "one of the Sovet Unon's leadng musc crtcs and muscologsts," tells us that Petrov "s deeply nterested n subjects of unversal mportance such as the msson of art, the artst and hs envronment, the hstory of hs home country, war and ts btter aftermath, and the preservaton of lfe on earth," but hs concerto sounded lke a seres of warm-up exercses and was empty of muscal nterest. felt sorry for the solost, Serge Stader, for t was no fault of hs that he had to spend so much tme sawng away amlessly. Orchestral textures, meanwhle, were domnated by a nasty cky syruppy thckness of relentless and suffocatng dmensons. Come ntermsson, t was tme for a breath of fresh ar. Rodon Shchedrn's Self-Portrat opened the second half. t started off nterestngly, wth woodwnd parts addng attractve coloraton, but then took on massve but turgd proportons. The undrected volence of the musc seemed to lack ratonale, and made one wonder about the self-esteem of someone who mght choose such demonc and unmuscal epsodes for a self-portrat. But there was worse to come. Kanchel's seemngly endless Symphony No. 6 took loud vulgarty to new dmensons. There (Please turn to page 12)

Conductor Alan Yamamoto, apparently unaware that hs players were ready to begn the second half of the concert, dd not appear onstage. Had he left the theater? Would the show go on? Fnally, after about forty-fve curous seconds, one of the trumpets snuck n a practce run, and the tenson dsspated n laughter. Yamamoto made hs entrance and closed the evenng wth a stellar rendton of Stravnsky's Symphony n Three Movements. t was hghly dramatc thoughout. Nearly all of the lls dsplayed n the Mozart magcally vanshed; the strngs were suddenly crystal clear, and the horns and trumpets came alve wth a floursh. Especally crsp were the syncopated dalogues between pano and orchestra n movement one, the pzzcat n the basses and cellos, and the motons of Yamamoto's baton. The woodwnds retaned ther breathtakng tone qualty (thers was really the only secton to dstngush themselves n any way before ntermsson), and the voln coheson was ten tmes ts former self. Stravnsky's mages of World War and the German war machne came alve here, a dronng behemoth, frst assured, then falterng, collapsng nwards upon tself nto utter cacophony and defeat. The growng confuson ended by transformng tself nto a swellng of unversal consonance whch brought shouts of "Bravo!" from ths revewer and others. Partcular kudos to the flutes, woodwnds, panst Marc Ryser G and harpst Susan Robnson for ther close-to-professonal calber performances. The Mozart, whle dsmal, dd have ts moments. A -to~ s. hem,,. dcs. were excellent throughout; furthermore, the strngs joned n for a fun tme n the thrd movement - detunng between frst and second volns seemed to attenuate somewhat, and prevously absent bass support fnally clocked n to form a wellbalanced sound. The rest of the pece, however, was hardly a pleasant experence. Every scale the strngs were called upon to perform bombed out upon encounterng any mnor thrds. There was lttle defnton of lne (so vtal to Mozart's horzontal musc), and no unformty of strng tone whatsoever. Yamamoto's tempo selecton was spotty, n that most of hs players ether couldn't keep up wth them, or grew lazy and fell behnd. The Fnale contaned panful examples of both. But the concluson of the evenng was so dramatc and effectve, that one can only wonder what knd of spnach awated the players n the locker room at halftme. Whatever happened, they came back strong, revtalzed, and assured; and the crowd that left Kresge Audtorum at evenng's end was, on the whole, a pleased one, after all. Kyle G.

W'hy has ths late play wated more than 30 years for ts US premere, when other plays of the same perod had ther frst productons n New York? Prmarly because t s a deeply flawed play, havng at best a collecton of ramblng plots wth lttle coheson. Nevertheless, O'Casey's natural rsh humour, razor-sharp dalogue, and fnely etched characters are all ntact, and t s scandalous that t should have wated so long for a local producton. The Lyrc stage has met the challenge smartly, and can be proud of ther producton. The play s almost bereft of focus and has no obvous leads, so ten strong characters are requred, and ten strong actors have been found. Of these, Dck Carranaun was partcularly good as the ntemperate Protestant known as the Prodcal, who can't stay on the wagon. He spends most of the play dspensng useless advce, droppng malapropsms n bog Latn, and feudng wth hs Catholc fol, the overly pous Rchard Rankn (energetcally and amusngly played by Ed Peed). The frendly, ever-feudng laymen have a relgous parallel n the materally-mnded Canon Burren (a frostv and precse Derek -. Campbell) and the more consderate and humane Father Boheroe. Robert J.

The star-crossed couples n need of advce are the two daughters of the local Councllor (John Drabk) and ther swans. Danel (Paul Cannng) loves the flrtatous Keeln (Stacey Vaughan), but s socally beneath her, and s prevented by her self-mportant father from marryng her. Foorawn (Dorothy Gallagher), refusng to abandon her self-mposed vows of chastty, refuses to acknowledge her love for the pnng Manus (Tmothy Scranton). Although the women are both well drawn n ther conflctng passons, t s a lttle dffcult to tell the two bucks apart, untl events push them toward ther separate destnes n the fnal act. Ron Rtchell, who drected the producton, also takes on a not nconsderable part as the Codger, a cyncal old man whose rreverent outbursts make hm the parsh voce of moderaton and reason, and who s consequently gnored by all and sundry. What these ten characters are dong s watng for the arrval of the bshop, a local lad made good who s returnng to vst a town he has not seen n decades. (f ths sounds remnscent of The Vst by Fredrch Drrenmatt, t s, n as far as the pendng vst brngs out the best and worst n the townspeople awatng the occason.)

The Codger recommends dong "the decent thng be makn' a bonfre of Ballyoonagh, Bshop, books an' all!" The bshop never makes t onto stage, and the acton wnds about between the buldng of a wall, the purchase of a semmagcal table ornament (whch s symbolc, though utterly confusng), a casual drnkng party, a murder (yes, a murder), and a good measure of phlosophsng. t s a slce-of-lfe play, and much of lfe s here: youth, age, wsdom, foolshness, all presenrved as though under amber or n a state of paralyss. The play s enormously funny, and much of the humor s characterstcally rsh. The audence was swft to pck up on t both n stuaton and dalogue, despte havng two levels of rshness to perce: accent and language. For ther part, the actors caught the rsh cadences as well as North Amercan actors could be expected to, and dd not let ths necessary encumbrance ntrude on the performance. But there are sudden swngs between comedy and deep tragedy. These are most dzzyng at the suddenly shockng concluson of the play, where a partcularly effectve pece of comc relef comes rght after a dsturbng and emotonally wrenchng scene.

Other related elements n the set nsulted women at MT as a whole, stereotypng them as superfcal and less ntellgent than the men. But ths wasn't all. The skt focussng on the affrmatve acton delberatons of the MT Admssons Offce had an equally chllng effect. n ths act, the Admssons Offce was shown to grant admsson to a number of people clearly not qualfed to attend the nsttute, solely on grounds of affrmatve acton crtera. The audence found the case of the "Female Amercan ndan Crppled Chnese Buddhst" partcularly amusng. Members of the Chorallares should have tred to magne how they would have felt f they were, say, an Amercan ndan from a communty wth few educatonal opportuntes, who had nonetheless worked bs damnedest to make t to MT and was now beng told he (Contnued from page 11) prse for the lsteners; relef would be a more approprate descrpton of ther mental state. When dscussng the work after the concert, found that could not recall any of the subdued passages, perhaps because they were completely domnated by more objectonable neghbors. Much less dffcult, dscovered, was namng each and every pece of percusson scored by Kyr where he ran out of muscal deas. Solosts Judth Kellock and Jeffrey Gall hardly made the concert any more pleasant.

The problem was that Lunch had no dstnctve style nto whch they could mold these covers, and so they seemed pontless. Ths splled over nto the band's orgnal materal where the Lunch would wander between party tunes, harder rockers, and an occasonal borderlne punk. nstead of showng off dversty, a lack of drecton resulted n an unnervng sense of lack of coheson. Not to take too much away from the band, asde from a poor mx and an overall lack of style, Bucket O' Lunch played exceptonally well on each ndvdual song. Gasparn's charsmatc nature kept the audence permanently hgh and Woodlock and Holly's gutar lcks were tght and clean. The songwrtng was catchy and danceable, f always a lttle cautous (though the lyrcs were at tmes charmngly defant). Nlegatve Renforcement (Cndy Bugbee, Wheelock, vocals; Rch Molnar, BU, vocals, gutar; Dan McMahll '91, gutar; VE Phlharm onc er Aaron Copland's popular work Appalachan Sprng was true to the overall character of the evenng's performance. The ensemble played wth an nsgnfcant dynamc range and a general lack of expresson. Obvously descendng passages that suggest a wndng-down of ntensty and tempo were gnored by Feldman, who conducted passage after passage wth unceasng regularty. A symphony orchestra that plays wth a mechancal beat mght be expected to play well together; a mechancal, or predctable, beat would seem to be the easest to follow.

Wth most of Bucket O' Lunch's fans havng left, the audence sze was cut n half, but ths ddn't keep the remanng vocal Renforcement fans and other dehards from partyng t up. Veerng away from the manstream sound, the band took advantage of Walker's acoustcs wth a wall-of-sound approach reverberatng throughout the hall. Renforcement kept to ther dstnctve style, more gutarbased, deeper, and fuller - a sound followers of local Boston bands mght closest assocate wth Nova Mob. Renforcement 's sense of drecton showed tself most clearly wth ther two covers', Jefferson Arplane's "Don't You Want Somebody To Love" and the kller fnale, the Munsters theme, each of whch they shaped nto new, dstnctve tunes. Bugbee's soarng, well-traned voce mght have been a bt of an overkll to some, but flled n perfectly the hgh ends of the band's songs. Gutarsts Molnar and McMahll kept the musc smple and drvng, and somehow stll danceable. f Renforcement had a fault t would be ther falure to try and please all muscal tastes, nstead stayng wth ther own style of musc. Consderng the strengths but dssmlar flavors of Vtal Scence and 3 Card Mfonte,the Best Covers Band mght have gone n favor of ether. Although Bucket O' Lunch showed competence, smart gutar lcks, more stage charsma. and an attempt at dversty, they were hampered by a poor mx, lack of consstent tone, and an ultmately catchy but hollow character. Negatve Renforcement, although lmted by a dstnctve sound that mght not be appealng to more manstream ears, permeated Walker wth a fuller, deeper sound, and should have won the Best Orgnals Band wth a more darng, professonal character. SCC's judgng bas towards the party/ manstream sound reared ts ugly head however as Vtal Scence and, qute unfarly n ths revewer's eyes, Bucket O' Lunch took the top honors.
