He~ S a j o oncourse proposes toecone part of EE By Bob Wasserman The Concourse program has submtted a proposal to become a permanent program under the jursdcton of the Electrcal Engneerng Department. Concourse was created as a temporary program n as an alternatve to the tradtonal freshman currculum wth the stpulaton that after fve years the program would be revewed to negotate ts future status. Ths sprng a subcommttee of the Commttee on Educatonal Polcy (CEP) evaluated Concourse along wth the Expermental Study Group. The CEP concluded that Concourse must reman a temporary program admnstered by CEP durng the academc year. CEP reported that Concourse must "fnd an approprate admnstratve department" by the end of the 1976 fall semester or t wll not gan permanency. Professor of Electrcal Engneerng Davd Ader sad he was "optmstc" about the possblty of Concourse ganng permanent status, possbly by the sprng term.

Jeff Casper'77, Frday Nght Drector for the SC seres, attrbuted the smaller crowd to the fact that SACC was runnng "'Catch-22'' n the same tme frame. Accordng to Casper, the small attendance meant that after-payng for '"heaver," more poltcallyorented topcs after SACC had establshed a reputaton wth ts ntal run of feature flms. Members antcpate that the move seres wll act as a catalyst, veneratng greater poltcal awareness n the MT communty. Geller stated that he felt that the workngs of "student government should ultmately reflect the wants of the students." n an.effort to better assess the wants Both grups have establshed ther cses - the ssue now goes before the ASA _ the cost of the flm, the cost of havng Campus Patrol present, and mscellaneous other costs (such as publcty and flm transportaton), very lttle proft remaned. Casper explaned that SC's concern about proft stems from the fact that the fundng of ther lecture seres s to a large part dependent on these profts. SC rs attemptng he sad, to provde a servce to the students of MfT by presentng ts lecture seres at the lowest cost possble. f profts go down, ts ablty to effectvely contnue ths servce wll decrease. On the other hand, SACC representatves also nsst that ther organzaton s attemptng to provde an mportant servce to the local communty by offerng an alternatve to the SC,flms. Although SACC's present.schedule of flms offers shows of' much the same type as those to be shown by SC,, mem hers seemed hopeful that the theme of -the seres would later dverge nto of the students, SACC wll be crculatng a petton ths week to document the amount of nterest that SACC members beleve the student body has n ther flm project. Both groups have establshed ther cases - the ssue now goes before the ASA. f the appeal fals, Geller says that SACC wll try agan wth the General Assembly. Whatever the outcome of a GA appeal - f t goes that far - Geller says that SACC wll abrde by the decson. FOREGN ANGUAGES TRANSATON Translators n all languages for part-tme on call work.

The safety rulng, whch went nto effect Jan. 1, 1975, has a clause requrng that the large crcular starcases be enclosed as E deterrent to the spread of fre fron floor to floor. The code also calls for two safe means -of ext from each floor, a need the renovated starways would meet.

Although SAE had seven chances to score. aded by a pass nterference call aganst Trojan defender Peter Mamons '77, the drve stalled and Baker took over deep n ts own terrtory. Two penaltes and three plays later, the Trojans put the ball n PlaY on ther own three, second down and ten yards to go. Quarterback John Doyle '76 arched a loopng pass toward Mamons, standng near the rght sdelne 25 yards away. The- ball was deflected by one SAE defender through Marnons' hands, was E tpped by another SAE player, 5 and fell nto the arms of Baker's X surprsed Clff Red '79, who carred t past the unprepared SAE defense for a touchdown.
