Fuel financing Finds frats frozen
By Tim Kneale Many MIT fraternities have received an unexpected financial jolt by increases in fuel oil prices triggered by the Reagan Ad;inistration's decontrol of domestic oil prices. Some twenty-three of MIT's thirty-three independent living groups use oil for heating their buildings, said Steve Immerman, Business Advisor to Fraternities and Independent Living Groups. Twenty-two of these twenty-three currently belong to a cooperative which buys its oil from the Gibbs Oil Company. Prices the cooperative has paid have escalated from 96 cents per gallon in late November to $1.17 per gallon this week- an increase of over 20 percent so far this

I am amazed. For an institution that claims to depend greatly upon alumini endowments to survive, this school of yours seems suicidally determined to create a whole generation of disenchanted alurns. It may seem quite reasonable to you to jack up tuition to absurd levels to increase your income, and for the twenty or thirty percent of the student body, that can actually pay it it m1ay well work, but what about the rest of' us'? What about those Of us w ho are already at or near the debt ceiling, and who are treated so casually by your ''finantcial aid'' people'? What about those of us who are tryingt to finish up our degree requiremnelts, and who can't just call up daddy and say "Hey, Pappy, toss
hundred-plus kilobuck garden parties at our expense? Oh, I know, it was only to bolster the Institute's sagging academic prestige. It's good of you to watch out for the value of our degrees in this way. Do you really think that the student body will sit still as the man who moved into the l're:sideaxt's house to ''be closer to student life" proceeds to totally ignore the realities of that life? Do you expect us to just sit quietly and give you ever more money to give us ever more garbage?

SIPB: only students

To the Editor:. I am writing this letter because I am angry at the manner in which the SIPB was mentioned in Richard Salz's editorial "Keeping it pure." I would not object to the SIPB's inclusion in this article if Mr. Salz had any given any justification for including it; he at least offered somejustification for including each of the other organizations mentioned. The SIPB does not have any student/non-student ratio problems as far as anyone's concerned, which Mr. Salz would have found out had he bothered to ask. The SIPB's voting membership is restricted to currently enrolled students, and only they can hold office or vote on issues presented to the board. There are associate non-student members who serve as advisors and assistants to the board, and whose experience and expertise is heavily relied on. They do not, however, in any way discourage student members from taking on responsibilities. Mr. Salz obviously wasn't aware of any specific problem of the SIPB's or else he would have addressed it in his editorial instead of taking a cheap shot at the SIPB. If The Tech's staff is really concerned with the lack of student participation in student organizations, I have a positive suggestion. Why not run a weekly or biweekly feature article on a particular organization, slanted to describe why it is rewarding to be a member of that organization. Perhaps you could even-get members in each organization to write, or assist in writing, the article (I volunteer). These features whould prove interesting to your general readers, and would possib!y be the most effective publicity available to student

organizations.

Many financial aid students will get help, said Frailey, even though the equity or self-help level will increase $400. However, Frailey added that he "can't guarantee" that, in general, financial aid will keep pace with the increase, since it is unclearjust what cuts the Reagan Administration plans for federally supported loan programs.

"at least 13 percent but probably less than 20 percent." A concern of many students was the effect the tuition hike will have on admitted students, but Frailey pointed out that the nmiddle two income quartiles have remained "invariant" at aIbout 50 percent of MIT undergraduate and graduate students. Frailey also indicated that the percentage of applicants who decline adnmission because of tuition or who decide to matriculate at a less expensive school has renmain unchanged over the last few years. The student audience was also.annoyed by the suddenness of the alnncuncemtent, and suggested that student input be considered b\ thosc \who set the tuition level. A\n informed ,source reported that

Non-students in LSC
To the Editor: To anyone who read Richard Salz's May article about LSC, it is not surprising that last week's column ("Keeping'it pure") was full of inaccuracies and erroneous statements. The clear impression given was that many student organizations are run by "oldtimers" and that some are even "bereft of students." As LSC was the most frequently mentioned organization in the column, I thought a clarifying response was appropriateT LSC has the largest active membership of any activity on campus. Of our approximately 160 active members this term, fewer than 20 are non-students. Our officers (cumulatively known as the Executive Committee), as elected last November consisted of ten students and only one nonstudent (Class of '79). None were "five-year alumni." Contrary to the implication in his column, LSC members do not stay around to make money from our publicity facility (LSC does not pay its members for anything: however, press operators and designers may use LSC facilities for outside organizations and charge them for their labor). In fact, we "old-timers" enjoy working for LSC and take pride in having worked for what we believe is the best-run and most responsible activity on campus. For an organization the size of ISC, having "old-timers" around has some distinct advantages. Old members can serve as a "corporate memory," supplying not only information on the way things have been handled in the past, but (hopefully) the reasons for doing so as well. Often, conditions have changed such that prior considerations have become irrelevant. As frequently, however, the knowledge of an old Execomm member can save the Committee from major mistakes, embarrassment. or worse. The current Execomm may choose to either use or ignore such knowledge. Making it unavailable seenms rash and counterproductive. l.ong-time members are also invaluable to major projects, such as the recent improvements to the 26-100 projection booth and sound system. Without people silling to make such a long-term co0mmittlmenet, most large projects

Fencing splits pair

By Nicholas Rowe The men's fencing team administered a severe trouncing to Brown yesterday by taking 24 bouts to Brown's four. Tech fencers swept all three events (sabre, foil, and epee) in a very lopsided contest. In the foil event, M IT took seven of nine bouts. J im Friedah 'aind Oscar Estell '83, members of last year's Iron Man Trophy foil championship team, had little trouble disposing of their opponents. The fact that the third memnber of last year's chamipionship team, Eric Debeus '82, was sidelined with an injury did not seem to make a major diffierence.
The major story of the night concerned Brown epe eist Henry Chalng. Chang figured to be a niajofr factor in Brown's attempt to secure a victory, however, he dropped three close bouts for a very frustraltingt evening. Chang fell vic~timl to Geolf Pingree '81,
M IT's top fencer, and Ray' Holden '83, which secured MIT's victory. MIT continues to prove that it is one of the top teams in the East. The team easily showed this last year when it won the New England Collegiate Championship without losing a single bout. The women's fencing team was not so fortunate, dropping a 9-7 squeaker to the Bruins. Nancy Robinson '81 performed commendably in ;a losing cause, taking four of four-bouts. This match also saw an interesting matchup between Robinson and Chris Golde, Brown's top female fencer. Last December, Robinson defeated Golde for the New England Intercollegiate Chamnpionship. This time, Golde was foiled in her attempt for revenge as Robinson mustered a small victory. Both squads face a tough challenge this Friday, when they face Cornel here at '-rn_
