Radio Club provides Space Shuttle video

by Alex Kuhn Newspeak Sta ff

When the space shuttle Chal­ lenger lilted off the launch pad 0 11 what would turn out to be it's final flight some 2 1/2 years ago, there was little doubt that it would reach it's destination and return safely. In con­ trast. those who viewed Discovery's liftoff last Thursday seemed more inclined to keep their fingers crossed.

As the final seconds of the countdown approached, crowds in front of televi­ sion sets located throughout the cam­ pus were growing steadily. Then came the sighs of relief once the shuttle's main engines had completed their task and Discovery was safely in orbit.

The television pictures of Discovery’s launch being broadcast throughout the campus Thursday morning originated directly from the NASA Select transponder on the Satcom 2 satellite. Members of the W PI Wireless Association (Amateur Ra­ dio Club) were able to acquire the NASA transponder signal using a satellite receiving station donated to the club last year.

According to Robert Taylor, prin­ cipal Mechanical Engineering Lab Technician and advisor to the Wire­ less Association, the satellite receiv­ ing equipment was donated to the Wireless Association by an affiliate of Prof. Durgin so that the progress of WPI experiments on board future space shuttle (lights could be more closely monitored. Taylor adds that the equipment was given to the Wire­ less Association because of the club members' experience in installing and maintaining this type of equip­ ment and their proven dependability in providing public service functions.

"They wanted to know for certain that when our experiments finally do blast off, that we’d be there watching; no slip ups. no problems,’’ remarks Tay­ lor.

Bob Inderbitzen. Wireless Asso­ ciation President, notes that club members had spent many hours over the past few weeks fine tuning equip­ ment in anticipation of Discovery’s launch. “ We were afraid that the sig­ nal from the satellite might be a bit weak, but it's been OK so far" says Inderbitzen.

Last week, club members in­

stalled a temporary television cable between the satellite receiver in Salis­ bury Labs and the Instructional Media Center (IM C ) in Higgins Labs so that live space shuttle video could be broadcast over the campus closed circuit network (WPIC-TV). Inder­ bitzen explains that "we wanted to gel the most out of our equipment, and showing a taped broadcast of the shuttle just wouldn't have been the same, so it was worth the extra effort to do it live."

Inderbitzen points out that IMC personnel have been quite helpful in broadcasting the shuttle video cam­ pus-wide. Radio club members also installed a temporary cable to the Salisbury Lounge in order to reacti­ vate the television set there. The origi­ nal cable which fed that set had to be disconnected because of construction activity. Since the temporary cable installed comes directly from the sat­ ellite receiver, the shuttle video was shown full time on the Salisbury tele­ vision set during the shuttle’s flight.

Wireless Association members hope to provide video for future shuttle missions as well. They plan to work with the IM C in establishing a

couple of requests to provide special satellite programming and expects to be able to handle them. "Right now we're playing it by ear." says Inder­ bitzen, “ but it looks like this satellite capability could turn out to be quite an asset for the Institute.”

National greek system under pressure to reduce risk

by H eidi Lundy Newspeak S ta ff

Fraternities nationwide have been under a lot of pressure lately as to how they handle the risk of alcoholrelated lawsuits and medical claims.

Fraternities and sororities rank sixth on Denver Post’s list of 30 Top Risks in relation to insurance. Many ques­ tions are floating around W P I’s cam­ pus about what our fraternities and so­ rorities are doing to reduce the risk and what kind of organizations they have to help themselves.

The fraternities at W PI are united in a group called the Interfraternity Council (IFC). This group consists of the presidents and one representative from every house. There are also executive offices including President, Vice-President, and Secretary. Any issues that concern all the fraternities come before this council. More than half the time of their meetings is spent on risk management. After the school’s change of policy this year, fraternity parties are now registered through the IFC. The IFC does not consider a fraternity to be having a

party unless there are over 30 guests and alcohol is being served. This kind of event must be registered 48 hours in advance. Registration consists of fill­ ing out an Event Registration Form and having it validated by the council.

The IFC has written up several other guidelines dealing with the fra­ ternities responsibility at a party.

Some examples are: only closed par­ ties are allowed: publicity of parties is prohibited; all social events must end and guests must be gone at 2:(X) am: and stamps or wrist bands should separate legal drinkers from others.

Some of the guidelines enforce Mas­ sachusetts State laws. For example, if alcohol is being served, there must be some other nonalcoholic beverage and food available. There must be no money exchanged at the party. The list of guidelines from the IFC states lastly that all of it’s members should abide by all Massachusetts State and local laws.

Different houses have different rules and regulations for their parties, some stricter than others. There must be several sober people on duty at every party. These people stand at the

Rush changes proposed

by Pat Charles Newspeak S ta ff

The transition to college from high school is one of the most signifi­ cant changes a student will encounter.

The student must learn to achieve scholastically while at the same time learning to balance the many experi­ ences that never entered into the high school experience. Students must cope with the stresses of living in a new environment, meeting new people, eating DAKA, and compen­ sating for time spent in a variety of new activities.

Sometimes students are unable to offset the influx of new responsibili­ ties with which they are faced. As a result, many students suffer academi­ cally. In the last few years, the number of freshmen who failed more than half of their courses at W P I increased.

Changes in Rush may be instituted to alleviate some of the stresses put on freshman students early in the year.

The changes, suggested by Dean of Undergraduate Studies W illiam

Grogan, are oriented toward deferring Rush activities, possibly to the fourth week in A term. According to Dean Grogan, by later in A term, most stu­ dents are familiar with the amount of fraternity and social activities that they can handle beyond their aca­ demic load. Grogan also suggests a later pledging period. In the proposed system. Rush would begin in the fourth week of classes and end at the beginning of B term, and pledging would not begin until January. Addi­ tionally, potential pledges would be required to “ qualify" before being allowed to pledge. Just as there are scholastic prerequisites for sports players in the NCAA division, there would be a distribution prerequisite for pledging. Under such conditions, the student would have to pass 4 of 6 credits in terms A and B before con­ tinuing as a pledge in term C. Although many factors contribute to the increasing failure rate at WPI, the changes recommended by Grogan are part of an attempt to assist students in the transition to college life.

door, check ID ’s, make sure people aren’t too intoxicated to get home safely and make sure no alcohol is leaving the Fraternity house. If a rule or guideline is broken by one of the Fraternity houses, and is reported, the matter is brought before the IFC. If judged guilty the fraternity is pun­ ished by a social probation of 2-4 weeks.

The IFC is the only form of gov­ ernment for fraternities on campus, but if the fraternities are caught break­ ing Massachusetts state laws, they

will most likely receive more than 24 weeks probation. However, the IFC is trying to handle the risk more re­ sponsibly. They are sponsoring a lec­ ture on October 10 by Dr. Keim who will speak on Demytholizing the Animal House. This refers to the stereotype which fraternities have gotten from the movie.

Still, everyone knows that the reason why fraternities exist is to supply W P I with parties on Tuesday.

Friday, and Saturday nights, right?

Peter Mullen, President of the IFC

says that this is entirely false. "The brothers of the fraternities at W PI are good, responsible people." he stated.

The houses support many alternate social activities like walkathons. food drives, and other fundraisers. Several brothers of various chapters report that on any given night of the week members can be found studying to­ gether. Fraternities are the places where strong qualities such as leader­ ship. fellowship, and sportsmanship are begun.

Foothills announces sparkling second season

by Je ffre y Coy Features Ed itor

Just coming off a hugely suc­ cessful first season, the Worcester Foothills Theater Company recently announced the schedule for its up­ coming second season.

Again headed by Artistic Director and Executive producer Marc Smith, this season will provide more vari­ ety than last. Offerings will range from slapstick comedy to classic drama.

The season will begin on a riot­ ous note with Noises Off by Michael Frayn. This British farce follows the antics of a second rate theater com­ pany doing a third rate play. Having seen this hilarious play at the Cleve­ land Playhouse, I can assure that it promises an evening of unpredict­ able fun. Noises Off will run from October 6 to October 30.

November will see the perform­ ance of Deathtrap, a mystery by Ira Levin. The combination of spine tingling suspense and irreverent comedy has delighted audiences

throughout both the United Kingdom and the United States. A film version of the work achieved popularity in the early eighties. The play will run through November 27.

The I940’s Radio Hour, a back­ stage look at the radio era, will play from December 1 to January 1. I also saw a production of this show at the Cleveland Playhouse, and it too offers a wide variety of fun and music.

The New Year will be welcomed in by The Diary of Anne Frank, a familiar drama. Intense in its scope, the story is drawn from a young girl’s experiences hiding out in World War II Amsterdam. As she faces the hor­ rors of nazism, Anne displays “ those qualities which give grace and mean­ ing to life: courage, hope, ideals, imagination, and the capacity to love.”

On a lighter note, the season will continue with Herb Gardner’s 1986 Tony Award-winning I ’m Not Rappaport. This story, which follows two lively seniors who meet daily in New York's Central Park, was called “ Uproarious . .. the funniest and most

touching play of the season’’ by Time Magazine. It will run from February 2 to February 26.

Hedda Gabler. arguably Henrik Ibsen’s masterpiece, will see the light of the Foothills stage from March 2 through March 26. As w-ith most of Ibsen’s works, the play explores human spirit entrapped by social restrictions. Hedda Gabler has moved audiences since its initial production in Victorian times.

Tom Lehrer’s Tomfoolery' will close the Foothills season. With music and lyrics by one of our age’s most talented social critics, topics range from “ Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” to “ The Vatican Rag.” The New York Times called Tomfoolery “ . . . witty naughtiness . . . always clever.” It will run through April 23.

Tickets can be reserved by con­ tacting the Foothills box office at 754-4018. In addition, students can purchase discounted tickets at Fif­ teen minutes prior to curtain time.

Thus, the best and brightest of thea­ ter can be yours at affordable prices.

Grogan receives ASEE award

by M elanie W allace Newspeak S ta ff

William Grogan. Dean of Under­ graduate Education, has been awarded the American Society for Engineering Education Liberal Edu­ cation Division, Olmsted Award for Innovative Contributions to the Lib­ eral Arts within Enginecering Educa­ tion.

Previously, he has won several

awards for his contributions to the Plan: the Worcester Engineering Society’s Scientific Achievement Award, the American Society for Engineering Educations (A S E E ) Chester F. Carlson Award for Innova­ tion in Engineering education, and A S E E ’s William E. Wickendon Award.

Engineers have typically been typecast as only technically oriented, with no humanitarian interests. Con­

sequently, engineers tend to view themselves the same way. Two dec­ ades ago, W PI decided to change that attitude. Dean Grogan, at that time a professor of EE, and five others, were chosen to develop a solution to this problem. Their solution was “ The Plan.”

Cadets conquer Crowe

by M ichael Sexton

On Saturday, October I. Army ROTC cadets and students from local colleges spent the day learning to how to rappel at Crowe Mountain in Leom­ inster State Park. Rappelling is a tech­ nique of descending a cliff face safely by using a rope. In addition to Rappel­ ling, those who attended were given an opportunity to compete in various events and learn a variety of skills.

The Rappelling Day was spon­ sored by the Pershing Rifles, a frater­ nal organization that fosters a spirit of friendship and cooperation and main­ tains a high level of military skills.

The Pershing Rifles were also respon­ sible for providing the training, plan­ ning, and organization of the Rappel­

ling Day. Many students and Army cadets from the local colleges who wanted to learn to rappel attended.

The rappelling was organized in a manner similar to that of a ski resort.

There was a "bunny hill" for begin­ ners, an “ intermediate” hill for the more advanced, and an "expert or mogol” hill for the experts. The bunny hill was a small cliff about 15 feet high that was used to acquaint the inexperienced with the equipment and methods of rapelling an build confidence. The intermediate hill was approximately 50 feet high and was used by those who were more experi­ enced. The expert hill was about 60 feet high and was steeper than the intermediate slope. All of the rappellers enjoyed the rappelling, and went

down the intermediate and expert cliffs several times. During the rap­ pelling and the whole day. safety was heavily stressed.

In addition to the rappelling, those who attended the weekend were given instruction in basic first aid and ran a medical relay race, were given a chance to build a one-rope bridge and cross a two-rope bridge, and were given a chance to compete in groups in the grenade assualt course. Cadets and students alike competed in these events against other cadets and stu­ dents. On the whole, the weekend was very succesful; prospective cadets, cadets, and students were given a chance to interact in a social atmos­ phere and enjoy themselves.

Fencing demonstration to be held at Higgins Armory Museum (News Release)- The academy of Fencing of Watertown, M A will demonstrate the basics of fencing on Saturday, October 8 at 12:30 pm. at the Higgins Armory Museum. The demonstration will provide a look at each of the three "weapons" of mod­ ern fencing - foil, epee and sabre - and an opportunity to learn more about this exciting, but often overlooked martial art. The event is free with regular Museum admissions; Mem­ bers of the Higgins Armory Museum are admitted free.

Fencing - the art of swordsman­ ship - has been practiced for centuries, evolving from the deadly combat of the duel to the modem athletic sport that it is today. In the Middle Ages swords were heavy and clumsy, and great strength rather than skill was required to wield them. The wide­ spread use of armor until the 16th Century made it necessary to use the battle axe, a mace or a great doublehanded sword to bludgeon the wellprotected adversary into submission.

With the invention of gunpowder, armor gradually fell into disuse, and

swordsmanship developed into an art.

Without the protection afforded by armor, the more skilled use of the sword became of paramount impor­ tance nad resulted in the rapid evolu­ tion of lighter and more manageable weapons.

One of the original sports of the Modern Olympics, fencing is today practiced by both men and women throughout the world. It requires a high degree of physical coordination and mental concentration and is often likened to a game of chess played at lightning speed.

The Higgins Armory Museum, located at 100 Barber Avenue, Worc­ ester, MA, is open Tuesday through Sunday. Weekday hours are 9 am - 4 pm: weekend hours are 12 pm -4 pm.

The Armory is closed on holidays.

General admission is S3.75, $2.50 for senior citizens and children 5-12.

Members are admitted free. Ample free parking is available.

The Higgins Armory Museum is the only institution in the Western Hemisphere dedicated solely to arms and armor. Programs and operations

at the Armory are funded in part by the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, a state agency, and the Institute of Museum Services, a Federal agency.

Grogan most often met through a specified number of unrelated introductory courses. Dean Grogan felt that the humanities study needed to be con­ solidated into something more coher­ ent. This was the beginning of the Sufficiency. By requiring students to take thematically related courses cul­ minating in a mini-thesis, they re­ ceived a deeper understanding in one area, rather than just scratching the surface of several topics.

The second key facet to the Plan is the Interactive Qualifying Project.

The IQP is designed to give the stu­ dent an awareness of th relationship between technology and society. It gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to something other than pure technology.

Minutes from the executive council meeting September 22, 1988 Meeting called to order at 7:05 by Ellen Sloan, Members present were: Ellen Sloan, President; Jon Lam kins. Vice President; Leslie Reed, Secretary; Brian Morgan. Soccomm; Mark Weil, SA B; Kim Lemoi, Class of 90; Chris Gray, Class of 89; Jacqueline O ’Neill, Newspeak; Chris Talbot, RHC; James Connelly C H B; Pete Mullen IFC; and Janet Richardson, Advisor.

Committee Reports: C H B -James Connelly will be the representative for Executive Council for A & B terms then Jon Tucker will take over for C & D terms. Professor Crusberg will serve as Chief Justice Tempore. Training for the new jus­ tices will be starting soon. C H B is also developing procedures for the board of inquiry.

R H C - Elections tor the positions of floor/house reps will be held dur­ ing the week of Oct. 3. They are con­ sidering changes to their constitution.

SO C C O M M - Glen Cavanaugh and Chris Eddy are die new concert

ties from W PI, along with the neigh­ bors in Worcester, had a cleaning party at Bancroft Tower last week­ end. The goal is to make the tower more usable as a picnic area.

Class of 90 - For fundraisers, they would like to sell concessions liefore major events on campus.

Newspeak - They have received the results from the Columbia Scho­ lastic Press Critique. Newspeak earned a second place finish.

Discussion on West Bank to be held

by Athena Demetry Newspeak Stuff Should the West Bank be estab­ lished for the Palestinian people as their own national homeland? Are the Israelis being over repressive in their efforts to crush the Palestinian uprising? Or are the Israelis right in defending their national borders, being surrounded by neighbors who don’t recognize their right to exist?

Should the U.S. be involved in bring­ ing peace to the Occupied Territo­ ries?

These are just a few of the issues involved in the nearly year-long Pal­ estinian uprising that has been oc­ curring iri the Israeli Occupied Terri­ tories — the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Arab/Israeli dispute is at the heart of much of the violence that is perpetrated in the Middle East; its resolution would most likely bring a long-awaited peace to the region.

A panel discussion, “ Dialogue on the Occupied Territories," is

being sponsored by the W P I Inter­ national Relations Council to help us understand the conflict. The panel will consist of Scott Schaeffer-Duffy and Reverend David Miller to represent the Arab point of view, and Attorney Richard Silver and Etai Shilony to represent the Israeli point of view. ShaefferDuffy recently returned from a three-week tour of the West Bank and Gaza, where, as part of a 14 member team, he stayed with Pales­ tinian families and observed human rights abuses. Shilony is an Israeli citizen who worked as a newspaper journalist and a radio broadcaster in Israel. He has also written a book on the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.

The discussion will be held on Wednesday, October 5, at 7:30 pm in Kinnicutt hall and is open to the public as well as the W P I commu­ nity. It promises to be a provocative, informational experience, so come and show some concern for die world outside W PI!

SAB president's council meeting minutes September 27, 1988 The meeting was called to order at 7:32 pm.

Kyle Kelliher (Lens and Lights) was nominated for the Van Commit­ tee. The motion was passed by accla­ mation.

Kathey Foley (Women’s Crew) and Karen Tiegan (Ski Team) were nominated for the Budget Committee Representative. A hand-vote was called, which resulted in a tie. The Mark Weil (S A B President) cast the deciding vote for Kathy Foley.

The subject of club recognition was then discussed. In order for a club or sports team to be recognized by the SA B and Dean of Students Office

must first be recognized by some of­ fice on campus. The list of all of those who are recognized will be available soon.

A request was made for lists of the current officers in all the clubs and sports teams.

The treasurer then made his state­ ment. All forms for purchases go first to Nancy Denney to be signed. The SA B is thinking about holding a raffle, the some of the proceeds of which can be used by each club for their fund-raising requirement. The SA B also has about $11,000 in re­ serve.

Greeks support Bancroft Tower clean-up

by D avid J . Stec

On Saturday, September 17, 1988, a community service project took place at Bancroft Tower Park which involved the W PI Greek system, the Greater Hammond Heights Neigh­ borhood Group, the City of Worcester Parks Dept., Bartlett Tree Co., and W P I’s Plant Services. The project consisted of general trash removal, lawn maintenance, and most impor­ tantly, the clearing of underbrush and unwanted trees from the area below the parking lot lookout point. The latter portion of the project had the most impact on the area since we now can enjoy a beautiful view of Worc­ ester from the parking area. The neighbors and the city of Worcester were extremely impressed with the hard efforts put forth by W PI's frater­ nity and sorority members. The

neighbors showed their support by offering the Tower’s use for Greek sponsored picnics and special events.

It is their wish that with more use of the Tower for positive reasons and events that it will decrease the vandal­ ism and negative actions that the Tower area has faced in the past.

I would like to thank all the members of each chapter that partici­ pated on Saturday (especially the Morning crew!) for creating a positive and appealing image of the W PI Greek system. Chapters participating were: Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Phi Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta. Phi Sigma Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Pi. Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, and Zeta Psi. Thank you for your hard work, and keep up the support of our Greek system.

Cadets conquer Crowe bx M ichael Sexton

On Saturday. October I. Army ROTC cadets and students from local colleges spent the day learning to how to rappel at Crowe Mountain in Leom­ inster State Park. Rappelling is a tech­ nique of descending a cliff lace safely by using a rope. In addition to Rappel­ ling. those who attended were given an opportunity to compete in various events and learn a variety of skills.

The Rappelling Day was spon­ sored by the Pershing Rifles, a frater­ nal organization that fosters a spirit of friendship and cooperation and main­ tains a high level of military skills.

The Pershing Rilles were also respon­ sible for providing the training, plan­ ning. and organization of the Rappel­

ling Day . Many students and Army cadets from the local colleges who wanted to learn to rappel attended.

The rappelling was organized in a manner similar to that of a ski resort.

There was a "bunny hill" for begin­ ners, an "intermediate" hill for the more advanced, and an "expert or mogol" hill for the experts. The bunnv hill was a small cliff about 15 feet high that was used to acquaint the inexperienced with the equipment and methods of rapelling an build confidence. The intermediate hill was approximately 50 feet high and was used by those who were more experi­ enced. The expert hill was about 60 feet high and was steeper than the intermediate slope. All of the rappel Iers enjoyed the rappelling, and went

down the intermediate and expert cliffs several times. During the rap­ pelling and the whole day . safety was heavily stressed.

In addition to the rappelling, those who attended the weekend were gisen instruction in basic first aid and ran a medical relay race, were given a chance to build a one-rope bridge and cross a two-rope bridge, and were given a chance to compete in groups in the grenade assualt course. Cadets and students alike competed in these events against other cadets and stu­ dents. On the w hole, the weekend was very suceesful; prospective cadets, cadets, and students were given a chance to interact in a social atmos­ phere and enjoy themselves.

Fencing demonstration to be held at Higgins Armory Museum (News Release)- The academy of Fencing of Watertown. MA will demonstrate the basics of fencing on Saturday. October S at 12:30 pm. at the Higgins Armory Museum. The demonstration will provide a look at each of the three "weapons" of mod­ ern fencing - foil, epee and sabre -and an opportunity to learn more about this exciting, but often overlooked martial art. The event is free with regular Museum admissions; Mem­ bers of the Higgins Armory Museum are admitted free.

Fencing - the art of swordsman­ ship -has been practiced for centuries, evolving from the deadly combat of the duel to the modern athletic sport that it is today. In the Middle Ages swords were heavy and clumsy, and great strength rather than skill was required to wield them. The wide­ spread use of armor until the 16th Century made it necessary to use the battle axe. a mace or a great doublehanded sword to bludgeon the wellprotected adversary into submission.

With the invention of gunpowder, armor gradually fell into disuse, and

swordsmanship developed into an art.

Without the protection afforded by armor, the more skilled use of the sword became of paramount impor­ tance nad resulted in the rapid evolu­ tion of lighter and more manageable weapons.

One of the original sports of the Modern Olympics, fencing is today practiced by both men and women throughout the world. It requires a high degree of physical coordination and mental concentration and is often likened to a game of chess played at lightning speed.

The Higgins Armory Museum, located at 100 Barber Avenue. Worc­ ester. MA. is open Tuesday through Sunday. Weekday hours arc V am 4 pm: weekend hours are 12 pm -4 pm.

The Armory is closed on holidays.

General admission is S3.75. S2.50 for senior citizens and children 5-12.

Members are admitted free. Ample free parking is available.

The Higgins Armory Museum is the only institution in the Western Hemisphere dedicated solely to arms and armor. Programs and operations

at the Armory are funded in part by the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, a state agency, and the Institute of Museum Services, a Federal agency.

Grogan most often met through a specified number of unrelated introductory courses. Dean Grogan felt that the humanities study needed to he con­ solidated into something more coher­ ent. This was the beginning of the Sufficiency. By requiring students to take thematically related courses cul­ minating m a mini-thesis, they re­ ceived a deeper understanding in one area, rather than just scratching the surface of several topics.

The second key facet to the Plan is the Interactive Qualifying Project.

Shocked, colleges fail to stop rapes (CPS) — Shocked when 16 vic­ tims of campus rapes came to it for help within a six-week period, the Rape Treatment Center of Santa Monica (Cal.) Hospital last week pub­ licly asked college presidents to step up efforts to prevent sexual assaults on students.

The center decided to issue it's report, called "Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges Can Do," af­ ter treating the 16 women, an "inordi­ nate number proportionate to our cli­ entele," recalled Marybeth Roden of the center.

"Universities,” she said, “ have a responsibility to protect students.”

While sexual assaults on the nation's campuses seem to be happen­

ing more frequently, colleges them­ selves do not know how to prevent them or treat them when they happen, the report claimed.

As an example, the report cited a case in which a rape victim at one college lived down the hall from her assailant for several weeks after the attack while campus officials ground through their disciplinary procedures.

Such insensitivity amounts to ‘“ revictimizing* the victim," the report said.

The Santa Monica report wasn't the only effort to draw campus atten­ tion to the problem last week.

Indiana University students rebuilt a “ shanty" aimed at shaming adminis­ trators into funding a rape crisis center.

"Campus is not a safe place," ex­ plained junior Laurie Nicholson, "and a crisis center is a valuable system that other universities provide."

Keeping the shanty up, moreover, has become a political issue in itself at Indiana. It has been torn down six times and vandalized 16 times since it was first build May 7. The structure was almost destroyed in August when somebody threw a homemade fire bomb in it.

Some believe the shanty has been vandalized to support Indiana basket­ ball coach Bobby Knight. Knight out­ raged many — but apparently not all — Indiana students when he told an interviewer, “ I think if rape is inevi­ table, relax and enjoy it.”

But the shanty, said Indiana alum­ nus Mike Evans, was built to increase awareness of campus sexual assaults that happened long before Knight’s statement.

A lot of awareness may be needed on campuses nationwide.

In a 1987 survey of 6,000 students at 32 colleges, one in six female stu­ dents reported being raped during the previous year. The majority of those assaults were "acquaintance rapes" in which the victim 'and the assailant knew each other.

In the same study, conducted by University of Arizona researchers, one of every 15 men said he had committed rape or had attempted rape during the

same time period.

To stop it, the Santa Monica report urges colleges to adopt official poli­ cies that condemn sexual assaults, es­ tablish procedures to change living quarters when the victim and the al­ leged assailant live in the same dorm, implement educational programs about sexual assault, improve security measures and start better programs to treat victims.

SUch programs wouldn’t be popu­ lar. if the persistence of Indiana’s vandals is emblematic of general campus thought. IU ’s Evnas doesn't have high hopes for the rebuilt shanty. " If we keep it up for the first two weeks of school it will be a victory.’’

WPI whips Worcester colleges in Men’s X-C

by Alan Fos berry The W PI Men’s Cross-Country team soundly defeated all competition in the Worc­ ester City Championships Saturday. W PI took 1st through 6th places in defeating Holy Cross, Assumption, Clark, and Worcester State. Sen­ ior An Resca defended his title as City Cham­

He was followed by junior Chris Labarre (3 1:27). sophomore Dave Berthiaume (31:59). freshman Dave Cortcse (32:13), freshman Rob Lanctot (32:19), and junior Alan Fosberry (32:33). Other W PI fin­ ishers were sophomores Carl Benker and Chris Kinkade. and freshman Jeff Levesque. Team scores were: W PI (15), Assumption (50), Clark

(7X). Worcester State (136), and Holy Cross did not finish five runners. This increases the team's record to 9-0 going into the Tri-State Meet next week. The team has been ranked 6th by the Div. Ill New England Coaches weekly poll. This marks the first time in W PI history the team has been ranked in the top 10.

EDITORIAL

Rape Awareness Stressed Last Thursday evening, a Rape Awareness Program was held in Gompei’s Place. This program was designed to give information to both men and women about what rape is, how to be more aware of your personal safety, and how to say “ no". However, one of the main points that was made is that rape does occur more often then people think.

Although the presentation was well attended, the in­ formation presented, needs to be shared with those who did not attend. Many students are misinformed about the facts of rape, especially on the W PI campus.

The legal definition of a rapist is "Whoever has sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse with a person, and compels such person to submit by force and against his/her will, or compels such person to submit by threat of bodily injury and if either such sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse results in or is committed with acts resulting in serious bodily injury, or is commit­ ted by a joint enterprise, or is committed during the commisssion or attempted commisssion of (a feloneous) offense...shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years."

There arc several types of rape, the most prevelent being date rape or acquaintance rape. In this instance the rapist is known by the victim, whether it be a boyfriend or girlfriend, a newly met friend, a co-worker, or a husband or wife. And yes. a man can be raped. Rape by joint

Geoff: Hey Todd, that green mold on my pizza is beginning to move on its own now.

Todd: Really? Did you know my pet gerbil is pregnant?

Geoff: No. Hmmm. Can you folks tell we don't want to talk about Night­ mare on Elm Street 4? Personally, I think it was better than Part 3, but it was still pretty bad. The makers took what began as an original, satirical look at slasher films and turned it into just another slasher flick. Although it did have a few mystical points of Freddy's character.

Todd: In the typical fashion of the Nightmare series the plot went some­ thing like this, ( l ) someone falls asleep (2) neat special effects (3) stale one liners (4) someone dies. One can see the same sort of plot in the current Presidential campaigns, except for #4 of course. Nightmare 4 also continues the tradition of having parents who are uncaring and do not understand their kids, and the kids having to deal with Freddy on their own, i.e. present gen­ eration inherits screw-up’s of apa­ thetic last generation. Oh, yes. And what about that product peddling, eh.

Geoff?

Geoff: Simply put. it was horrible.

There were scenes of Pepsi spilling in slow motion and a guy playing with a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy fruit gum as if he was twiddling his thumbs. If that isn't blatant advertisement. I don't know what is. All in all. I can see plenty of other less expensive, more

worthwhile things to do than seeing this movie. I give this movie a warm dill pickle and two hairbalIs. Todd: Yes, spend your money on video games or pay your SFS dues (blatant plug), but don’t waste $5.25 on this movie. I give it a bowl of dAKA pudding and a third world dic­ tator. Since we didn't want to talk about Nightmare very much we thought you'd like to hear about some better movies (can't get much worse) that will be coming out soon. First off, a potential killer flick, the Batman Movie. Rumored to star Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. This ought to be a good one folks, unless too many exec’s get a hold of it.

Geoff: Other potential good'uns include: Punchline, starring Tom Hanks and Sally Fields, about a successful comic (Hanks) who is asked by a housewife (Fields) to teach her the business.

Alien Nation, set in the near future when a spaceship crash lands on Earth. The survivors of the crash are some 250,000 aliens who assimilate themselves into Earth culture. James Caan and Terence Stamp star as two cops, one human, one Newcomer (alien) who investigate a series of crimes including the murder of Caan's former partner. This is one we shall definitely review.

Spellbinder, a satanic-theme movie in which Timothy Daly, an L.A. attorney is smitten with the dev­ ilish charms of Kelly Preston. If the makers aren’t careful, this could turn

Helping the handicapped owes it’s origins to Scout troops. Over the years the Scouts of America have made assisting the handicapped part of their lives. However, they are by no means the only ones. Some IQPs that will begin in B term are closely related to the Scouts’ idea. The purpose of these IQPs, however, are not aimed at assisting the physically handicapped.

Instead, the project students plan to deal with another group - learning disabled students on the elementary school level.

These children have normal IQ's but are disabled in some way, such as being blind, deaf, or just slow learn­ ers. The goal of these IQPs is to make the task of teaching these students easier for the teacher as well as more enjoyable for the students.

The IQ P proces is long and rigor­ ous. Students working on these IQP's begin work in A term for no academic predit. They attend seminars explain­ ing how to deal with and teach learn­ ing disabled students. The IQP stu­ dents gain the understanding of what these disabled students might be like.

The next step is to actually go to a “ resource room’’ at an elementary school and observe the classroom situation. At this point the IQP stu­

dents decide on what aspect of teach­ ing they want to address, and the proj­ ect is formed.

Last year, one project group learned sign language and taught deaf children about health and personal hygiene. Another group taught dis­ abled children about time manage­ ment and how to study. A third IQP questioned why computers were not used to a great extent as a learning tool in teaching math. It was discovered that the teachers had not had the time to research this possibility. So the IQ P team researched computer programs that taught math, selected one, and the team wrote a manual for the teachers so that the teachers could implement the computers into their curriculum.

(The aspect of the computer as a tool is one of the main focuses of these projects.)

One very exciting side to these projects is that the IQP students spend six to seven weeks at the schools they are working with and actually teach these students themselves.

The person who coordinates these projects is Mr. Schlichte, a resource room teacher and the vice principal of the McGrath school in Worcester.

John van Alstytne is the W PI project advisor for these projects. If your are interested in this type of project for next year and possibly this year. John van Alstyne, located in the Project Center, is the man to contact.

out to be what Todd likes to call a "cheesy demon flick." I. for one, hate to see that happen to A N Y movie, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

They Live, a film directed by John Carpenter on Halloween and Prince of Darkness fame (the major allure of the movie at this point) about aliens di­ recting the Reagan revolution (a thought that I find humorously attrac­ tive.)

Without a Clue, starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley. Kingsley portrays Dr. Watson who has created a fictional Sherlock Holmes to whom he attributes the credit for solving the crimes that he actually does. When Holmes begins to. get popular. Dr. Watson hires an actor (Caine) to be­ come the famous consulting detec­ tive.

Cocoon: The Return. The cast from the original movie returns to Earth for the alien cocoons they left behind. I’m interested to see if they can match the success of the first one.

Todd: Well, that does it for this week. We are not expecting to be able to afford a column for next week, but we are always open to suggestions on which movies to see, or your opinions on how good or bad a movie is. We also like to talk about foreign policy, power, religion, music etc. So send all comments, suggestions, money, soft­ ware, merchandise, slocks, bonds, etc. etc. to one of us at Box 2696 (me) or Box 2646 (what’s his name.)

enterprise is rape by more than one person. The maximum sentence for a rape is 20 years. In a case where rape occurs along with a second felonous offense, such as kidnapping, armed robbery or murder, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment. This is also true of rape by joint enterprise, aggrivated rape, or a second offense rape.

Students attending the presentation were advised their rights should they be raped while at WPI. Cheryl Martunas, a W PI police officer, explained that a victim should go to the hospital and have an exam, whether they plan to prosecute or not. All the victims names are kept confiden­ tial in all cases. All students should realize that if their partner ays "no", and is ignored, a rape has occurred.

Although in past years, only three rapes have gained publicity on the W PI campus, there are many sexual assaults reported at W PI each year that go unpublicized because there is not a prosecution. But just because rapes don't make the headlines every week doesn't mean stu­ dents should become lax in their safety precautions. Stu­ dents should relize that rape does occur and that victims do have choices. In recents weeks, several assaults have occured close to the W PI campus. Students are advised and encouraged not to walk alone and to be careful about locking their doors. Above all, students need to realize that W PI is not immune to the crime of rape. Rape is a real concern that should not be ignored. .

COMMENTARY

Thanks for a memorable graduation To the administration, faculty, and staff of WPI: Thank you for all the efforts you put in to make last spring's graduation ceremony so memorable. The Gradu­ ation Weekend events that I partici­ pated in were extremely well-run. in particular the graduation day brunch.

Simpleton On: Good Books

The graduation ceremony also ran very smoothly, the grounds and the auditorium looked great, etc. In sum, I was very pleased with all of the WPIrun events and I thank all those re­ sponsible for their work.

V______________________________________________________ _____________ / Even though I am not shedding any tears over the resignation of the Secretary of Education Bill Bennett.

I'll be the first to admit that there might be some value in the "great books". After all. we need a kind of common "frame of reference". He has felt strongly about this, and is

opening a special center to teach the "great books".

Maybe America would be a better place if all of us yes, even the underpriveleged - knew enough about the "great books" to get on Jeopardy, or at least ask “ Who is MacDuff" at home while Alex is in the middle of the ever-popular "Kings

Questions created by asteroid theory

by Isaac Asim ov

The wildfires that consumed much of the American West during the summer of 1988 have been a dis­ aster, but they are nothing compared with a much greater fire that may have happened 65 million years ago.

That age. which is when the dino­ saurs disappeared, has become a familiar topic of scientific discussion in recent years. Many scientists have speculated about the possibility tht a dramatic catastrophe from outer space was the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction.

In the rocky layers that were laid down about 65 million years ago. there is a surprisingly large quantity of the rare metal iridium. Iridium is very rare in the Earth's crust, but it is more common in meteorites and comets. This 65-million-year-old iridium layer has been found wher­ ever scientists have looked, so the supposition is that a large asteroid or comet struck the Earth 65 million years ago. and killed off most of the living species on Earth, including the dinosaurs.

Why were they killed all over the Earth, if the asteroid hit only in a single place? The first answer was that the asteroid kicked up a huge cloud of powdered rock. soil, and dust that spread throughout the upper atmos­ phere and blocked the light of the sun

for months. That would have killed most of the world's plant life and animal life, too. since animals depend on plants for food, directly or indi­ rectly.

If that weren't enough, a large strike like that was bound to make itself felt in other ways. For instance.

70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, so that the asteroid is likel to have splashed into the ocean. It would, of course, penetrate right through to the ocean floor and still kick up the deadly dust that would block the sunlight. It would, however, also splash the water, forming a huge tsunami, or tidal wave.

A group of geologists led by Joanne Bourgeois were studying the rocky layers in eastern Texas and came across a thick layer of sandstone more than two feet thick. In it were fragments of sea shells, wood, fish teeth and so on. In the upper region there were signs of ripples that might have been caused by waves. And all of this was laid down about 65 million years ago.

The geologists therefore sug­ gested. in July of this year, that the asteroid or comet that struck the Earth at that time may have plunged into the Gulf of Mexico. The sandstone then would be the result of the huge wall of water that splashed onto the shores of the Gulf and was slowly sucked back, creating havoc.

Such a tsunami would expend its force only over a limited portion of the Earth, but if the sandstone layer is being correcly interpreted, it at least lends force to the suggestion of a huge strike from outer space.

The asteroid, however, may have had an even worse effect. Recently.

Edward Anders of Chicago Univer­ sity and other researchers reported on that key layer of rock laid down 65 million years ago in places as diverse as Switzerland. Denmark and New Zealand. Wherever they looked, they found a layer of soot, anywhere from 100 to 10.000 times as concentrated as seemed reasonable to expect.

This soot seemed most likely to have been the remains of a fire, and by studying the exact nature of the soot, the quantity of carbon present and the proportion of different atomic varie­ ties (or "isotopes") it contained, the geologists came to the conclusion that it was all one fire, taking place at one time, something that was global in nature.

Here is the scenario. The huge inrushing object from outer space must have punctured the Earth's crust and. in addition, in order to send up a vast cloud of dust and walls of water, also must have allowed the heated rock ("magma") beneath the crust to spew upward. The magma may have arisen both at the site of the primary puncture and elsewhere on Earth as

the strike cracked and shoved the Earth's crustal plates.

Enormous volcanic activity would have set fires in many different places at the same time and all may have joined in a roaring, more or less world-wide (at least over the land surface) conflagration. The soot is rich in organic compounds, indicating that vast quantities of microscopic life died at the time.

There is also the possibility that enough carbon dioxide was produced lo bring about a warming trend through the greenhouse effect. Nitro­ gen oxides might have been produced that would have resulted in a vast period of acid rain. Carbon monoxide and various other small carbon-con­ taining compounds must have been formed that poisoned the atmosphere for a while.

It's a dreadful picture and I won­ der if it can be entirely correct. I can't help but see it as a kind of overkill.

What with dust in the upper atmos­ phere, walls of water, continental fire storms, carbon dioxide, acid rain, poisons of all sort, the catastrophic scenario is simply too much. If it all happened 65 million years ago, then, of course that's what killed the dino­ saurs. The question then becomes, how could ANY life survive? How is it that we ourselves are here today?

and Queens” category. Well, anyway, to the point.

My idea of a “ frame of reference" is speaking the same language, and sharing the same planet. Unfortu­ nately. Simpletons often lack one of those criteria. We have a tendency to be, well - I admit it - objective. This is not a bad thing, but it makes me wonder if N LP is possible for us.

What is it? It's an interesting game CS types play. You know how Spock says "computer, how far away is that asteroid?", well its like that making computers understand Eng­ lish instead of code. Well, it would be nice so that's why people play with NLP - natural language processing.

How are Computer Scientists going to make N LP work for Simps? I mean, after all. I start my sentences with “ It s kind of like this..." How is a computer going to understand that?

Never mind the bizarre analogies.

Like if something strikes me as weird.

I'm apt to compare it to something weird like that feeling you get when you drink O.J. after brushing your teeth, or when someone asked me what E-term was like at W PI, I com­ pared it to being in the middle of the road of life, waiting for the light to change.

II only w ith the help of Bill Ben­ nett we all shared the same "frame of reference" - kind of like "cultural lit­ eracy" (See. my articles have some cohesion alter all - I mentioned "cul­ tural literacy" a couple of weeks ago that makes this kind of a companion piece.)

Then when the computer mistakingly "terminates" someone in a big company, instead of hiring a programmer to investigate the prob­ lem. simply tell the computer, "a man is not a piece of fruit", and everything will work out. It would really be the perfect way to solve the N LP problem.

Simps, computers, and everyone else will speak the language of the "great books” .

Music Notes The Beat of a Drum

by Troy Nielsen Newspeak S ta ff

Ever since the origin of “ organ­ ized music", the drums have been one of the most essential instruments in most forms of music. Everything from jazz to rap relies on the infinite number of rhythms the drummer can create for the band. Without the driv­ ing force of creative yet functional drumming, a band's intensity and energy is quickly lost.

In most forms of music, especially reggae, rock, and funk, the drums and bass guitar are supposed to be playing interlocking and interweaving rhythms that provide a foundation for the band to build and improvise on.

Without that strong foundation, the band will collapse, so to speak. Even a band that relies on rhythmic power chords and few solos for guitar parts can still make music that will blow you away because the anchor of the band plays the way it should play. The Clash and The Rolling Stones are good examples of this concept. The emphasis on bass and drums piaying together to create “ one instrument' is

the sole basis of reggae music. The guitar part consists of merely a “ chink" on the upbeats.

In most forms of current pop music, the drums are incredibly bor­ ing and misplaced.

Most of pop music’s purpose is to be danceable and not too creative. Therefore, most of the drum rhythms boil down to something a drum machine (or a 2year old) can play. There are excep­ tions to the rule: some pop groups spoil a latin influence, which makes their songs more interesting than the average. Unfortunately, most bands resort to the annoyingly loud, elec­ tronic drum sound on beats 2 and 4.

Since there is no driving force behind these pop bands, the music goes nowhere fast.

In the area of rock music, some of the better groups use the drums as a creative instrument just like guitar and keyboards, without losing its function as an anchor for the band.

And yes, there are other bands in the world that do this besides Rush. Led Zeppelin, the Police, the Violent Femmes, and Yes are just a few of the bands besides Rush that use drums

just as they would use a guitar. And ironically, most of these drummers are totally overlooked as excellent musicians.

Instead everyone wor­ ships Tommy Lee because he can play while someone turns him upside down. That’s just plain stupid. Drum­ mers like Bill Bruford, John Bonham, and Stewart Copeland have so much finesse and sense of musicality on percussion that they don’t have to rely on stupid gimmicks to get attention.

There are. however, great rock bands that ignore this bass and drums concept and still sound great when playing together. The first band 1 think of that fits this description is The Who. Keith Moon doesn't even try to lay down a groove most of the time; instead he drums like a madman. In all actuality. Keith Moon is an in­ credibly orchestral drummer. The album "Tommy" is a prime example of his uncanny sense of how to create rhythm patterns that complement Pete Townsend's songwriting style. But most bass players would go mad trying to play in synch with him. John Entwistle realizes this and conse­ quently he totally changes the concept

of the bass guitar. John makes the bass more of a lead instrument, and lets Pete Townsend become the rhythm player.

When a group has all solo players and no foundation, the music is disor­ ganized and goes nowhere. A good example of this is the group Cream, but only when they performed live would this disorganization come

about. In the studio. Cream seemed to perforin much better. Even though the trio consisted of three fabulous musicians, they sounded awful live because all three of them soloed at the same time for 10-20 minutes straight with no foundation to solo on. It's a shame that three great players couldn’t overcome their ten ton egos to play great music.

Anyway, when last we left our hero, he was facing the man with the sword. Still.

Fred looks at the hand holding the glass rod.

The man in black lifts his sword over his head.

Fred looks at the hand holding the piece of wool. The man charges. Fred becomes in­ spired. He rubs the two together and a glow of light surrounds his hands nad the items in them.

The spell takes effect. The light grows in intensity and the wool flies out of Fred’s hand and into the man's mouth. The glass rod flies over and starts hitting him over the head. He drops his sword and struggles, but to no avail.

He expires in a burble of strangulation, leaving Fred to wonder what just transpired.

Student Alumni Society The Student Alumni Society held a meet­ ing last Monday, September 27. During this meeting possible future activities were dis­ cussed and people seemed psyched on reviving many of W PI traditions. To do this we need a lot of help from the W PI community specially in participation. The activity we’re sponsoring is Homecoming on Saturday, October 8. It’s going to be a lot of fun. if you wish to help out on preparations, and we need some people to help out in order to have a successful activity, so please contact Jen Tobin, Box 423. See you there, by the way don’t miss the floats and a

chance to hear interesting stories from the Alumni about how W PI looked like in their time.

Wireless Association Well. Boxboro was a blast! We brought in a pretty good amount for our parts-from the Brute, but it still wasn't as much as we had hoped. Congrats to Bob for getting such an awesome deal on his new radio... hope they don’t find out.

Well, the shuttle has gone up and come

down and we all loved the pictures of the satellite. It was great to see it launch, but wfe were all a little nervous at around 72 seconds.

In the future, a permanent line from the Satel­ lite Dish to IMC may be run to allow for downlinks more frequently. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped with running the cable and aligning (and re-aligning) the dish.

This is a little short this week, because my arms still hurt from carrying that transformer.

See you later this week!

Going Greek in ’88

by Christine Cray and Peter M ullen

A-term is almost over, and we all have been busy with Rush. With Rush finished it's time to move on to other things. Everyone has new pledges that bring a new hope and ex­ citement for the future of their chapter.

Fraternities have been active organiza­ tions in American colleges since the 18th century. Here at W PI, fraternities have been an important part of the school since 1891, which marked the installation of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity on this campus. Through the years the campus has grown to accommodate twelve national fraternities and three na­ tional sororities. There are over 1,000 stu­ dents involved in the Greek system here at W PI. The Interfraternity Council (IFC ) and Panhellenic Council are the self-governing bodies that establish rules and regulations and develop various activities to benefit W PI students, faculty and the city of Worcester.

The Greek system has a tremendous impact on the W PI community. Greeks maintain heavy involvement in virtually all aspects of school activities from the year­ book staff to academic honor societies on campus. Not only are these members strong within their own chapters but they also demonstrate leadership skills and qualities in

many organizations on campus. Athletics are an integral part of any educational program.

Here at W PI many Greeks choose to spend extra time participating in one or more of the many sport activities, whether it be varsity, club or intramural teams.

Each fraternity manages and maintains its own house, as does one of the sororities.

This responsibility alone develops leader­ ship, organization and time management.

The houses also provide a social atmosphere to strengthen friendships and self-esteem.

The fraternity and sorority chapters as a whole provide a social life that brings the campus closer together by creating a place for people to get together.

Most of you chose W PI because of its strong educational program. The fraternities and sororities encourage academic success with the interaction between members that often can offer advice or any needed extra help. There always seems to be someone around, especially when it's too late to find a TA or professor. It truly helps to have another person there to work with on a problem set or to complete a project together.

We wish you luck with your Greek years here at W PI. It's a learning experience you will always associate with your college years. Take full advantage and get involved within the Greek system and campus activi­ ties. Always be proud to be Greek!

GREEK CORNER Alpha Chi Rho Well guys, its all over. Another year, another amazing Rush for A X P! Thanks to Jeff and John for sacrificing health, liberty, and the pursuit of academic happiness so that we will have another great year at the Crow house.

Congratulations, also, to the new Postulants,

for being such good sports at the PostulantBrother Football Game. Imagine how rough it would have been if you didn't have the Alumni on your team!

The Parent's Day cocktail hour was im­ pressive and classy as usual. My mom was so pleased to see Mikey serving all the Brothers

BUD L IG H T

BUD LIGHT

Iced Teas instead of those less innocuous beverages. (She wonders what "Long Island" has to do with it). Thanks to Dupes & Co. for a great job.

Parties at A X P have just been unbelievable.

I don't know what Mikey has been doing (I think budget depletion may be involved), but

Friday Nite was just the most high energy, hard-partying, outrageous good time you could want. Thanks, also to OHB, Mark and his roommates for risking it all last week to put on a blowout at the apartment, and Seano for getting everyone to buy me drinks at the Cave party.

Finally, this weekend is Homecoming and the l()th Anniversary of Alpha Chi Rho. so lets show the Grads that we are proud of what they left us with another winning float and a great time!

Good Luck, Postulants, and have fun!!!

Delta Phi Epsilon Six packs to the pledges!! Congrats go to our six new pledges: Pete. Repete, K, Evil, Julie, and a fish called Wanda. Don’t worry Wilma and Betty we haven’t forgotten you.

Happy hour certainly was interesting. Are R A ’s allowed to be puddles? Has anyone been in library cubicles? What were those sticky bits? Remember pledges at anytime when you least expect it someone could walk up to you and say ... H APPY M IN U TES!!!

Sue, Jules, and Chris- that's V= 6.74 wanna fight about it? Or does V= 7.4??? Snort it Bridgette (Yes. that’s about you Tam!) Tau Kappa Epsilon Hi! Last weekend we had one of our best parties, the Around the World Party. The House was overflowing with people, that is Happy people. Spirits were high at this party and it was a total success. On the athletic side, the team of X. Trevisani, J.P. Trevisani are in the Ping-Pong semi-finals. On the wild side thanks to little sister Cheryl Pegnam for calling W A A F. to tease our Sergeant-at-Arms, Ken O'Connor. Ken was called by Drew and Karen of W A A F who were impersonating the Fire Marshall. They questioned him about viola­ tions of the fire code, and overflowing the house with 1200 people. Ken answered them as a professional, and the call was broadcasted at 6:00 am Wednesday, of last week.
