Completed 1-9 form necessary for pay by David Perreault Advertising/Business Editor The 1-9 form is a new form which Immigration and Naturalization Serv ice (IN S ) requires all employees to complete it if they were hired after November, 1986. Everyone who is working, regardless of whether or not they are a foreigner or a U S citizen, is required to fill out this form. The form is a result of the Immigration and Reform Act of 1986, which states that employers “ should hire only Ameri can citizens and aliens who are au thorized to work in the United States." The penalties for allowing some one to work without the complete 1-9 form are as follows: First offense: $250 - $2000 per employee
Second offense: $2000 - $5000 per employee Third offense: $3000 - $10,000 per employee The Human Resources office did send out memos to each department explaining that several students had not filled out the 1-9 and listed the names of the students so that the indi vidual departments would know who to notify. The other measure the Human Resource department made was to pass out a memo at registration so that students would be informed about the 1-9. Unfortunately the form was only passed out to those students who knew that they were on work study. In addition, Financial Aid was told to inform students who were get ting work study cards that the 1-9 form needs to be filled out by everyone.
Unfortunately, even with all of these measures to inform the students, there are still around 120 people who are not getting paid because they ei ther did not complete the 1-9 form correctly or the department has not completed the paper work for that person. If you are not getting your paychecks and you have not filled out the 1-9, go to the Human Services office in Stratton Hall and fill out the form. If you are not being paid and you have filled out the 1-9 form, you should check with the payroll office and see if the department you are working for has completed the paper work or if the 1-9 form has been filled out incorrectly. There are several people who have filled out the I- 9, but since the department paperwork hasn't been completed, the student can’t get paid.
When filling out the 1-9 form you should bring proof of employment eligibility. The forms of legitimate identification are as follows: Type A: (1) US Passport (2) Certificate of US citizenship (3) Certificate of naturalization (4) Unexpired foreign passport with attached employment authoriza tion (5) Alien Registration Type B: ( I ) State issued driver's license or state issued ID card with photograph or information including name, sex, date of birth, height, and color of eyes. (2) US military ID TypeC: (l)Original Social Secu rity Card
(2) A birth certificate issued by state, county, or municipal authority bearing a seal or other certification. (3) Unexpired INS employment authorization You need to bring with you either one Type A item; or, one Type B and one type C item. The 1-9 form needs to be com pleted only once each academic year. However, all students are terminated at the end of D-term and rehired at the beginning of A-term. The Human Services department doesn't know, yet, whether or not this means stu dents will have to fill out a new form each year. As soon as the payroll office learns any new information about the 1-9 form they will forward the information to the rest of the campus.

WPI defeats Amherst in Homecoming by Roger Burleson Sports Ed ito r
W PI football defeated Amherst before a small homecoming crowd to up its record to 2-3. In a game that was played on a rainy, 37 degree, and winds of eighteen miles an hour, one would expect a low scoring game, and that was what the fans got. a 9-6 victory for WPI. After a first quarter of trading the football back and forth, the second quarter started with a W PI drive that resulted in a 24 yard field goal by Kevin Buckler. The Engineers had a
first and goal at the seven yard line but a holding call put them back to the seventeen. On third down, freshman Marc Buchan’s (subbing for the in jured Greg Whitney) pass fell incom plete. That set up the chance for Buckler who converted at the ten minute mark to put W P I up by three. The rest of the second quarter was controlled by the defenses, and just like every time this season. W PI went into the locker room with a lead at the half. W PI fumbed the ball during their first drive and Amherst recovered at the W PI 35. Amherst was threatening

W PI and the W PI student chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers will spon sor live demonstrations of residential sprinkler systems.

systems based on state-of-the-art techology, are now being installed in many homes, apartment complexes, hotels and other residential buildings around the country. The exhibit in cludes a special trailer designed to look like a room in a home. While observers watch from outside the trailer, a volunteer sits in the room and a fire is ignited and then quickly extin guished by a sprinkler system similar to those that can be installed in homes. Representatives from Worcester’s In spection Department and Fire Depart ment will be on hand for the first demonstration at 11 am. On Thursday. October 13 at 3 pm. Dougal D. Drysdale, lecturer in the fire safety in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ed
inburgh, Scotland, will talk about “ Ignition and Fire Growth Scenar ios.'' Drysdale will focus on the theory of ignition and fire growth and will also examine the controversial fire that swept through the Kings Cross subway station in London earlier this year. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held in Higgins 109. Drysdale, who helped organize the University of Edinburgh's fire protection engineering program, served as the C IG N A Visiting Profes sor of Fire Protection Engineering at W PI in 1982. During that year, he wrote the first definitive textbook on fire dynamics. It has become the stan dard textbook in the field.
