WPI budgeting changes completed

by Stephen Nelson Associate Editor At this time every year, the Institute looks ahead to next year. Classes, programs, mainte­ nance projects, expansion and other school functions must be planned well in advance to insure their funding. The Budget Process here at WPI is a long procedure that must take into account all the goals of the WPI faculty, staff, and students and, the direction in which the institute is heading. The final product is a budget which will best meet the goals of the institute and its constituency.

The budgeting process for 1989, the ’88-’89 academic year, is now drawing near comple­ tion. The most noteworthy change is the pro­ jected 11.1% increase in tuition which will bring next year’s tuition to $ 12,000. 2% of this

increase is attributable to cost increases due to inflation, the rest is a result of the costs that will be incurred to effect improvements on campus.

Various departments make requests every year for increased funding to implement pro­ grams, add staff and faculty members, or to buy equipment. Due to the limited amount of avail­ able funds, not all of these requests can be met but it is hard to deny any request since they would all benefit WPI. To facilitate this proc­ ess, each request is assigned a priority category: Committed, Necessary, or Desirable. An in­ crease in the amount budgeted for electricity due to an increase in electric rates would be a committed change, adding a professor to an understaffed department would be a necessary change, a request to replace all the white toilets on campus with crimson and gray toilets would be desirable.

President Strauss proposed to include all

those changes classified as either committed or necessary in the 1989 Budget, but this increase would have resulted in a projected 2.5 million dollar deficit. After the budget model was adjusted for the 11.1% tuition increase, the projected deficit was only about 1.8 million dollars. A memo was then issued by President Strauss to the Executive Staff ordering that mandatory cuts in spending be made in order to create a balanced budget. Among the areas where cuts were made are Financial Aid, Plant Services and the President’s Office. These cuts, it must be remembered, were cuts in requests for additional funds, not cuts in present operating funds. The budget process mainly involves deciding where extra funds will be allocated after it has been determined all present funding can be maintained with an increase to com pen­ sate for inflation.

O f particular interest to students is the fact that while tuition is increasing by 11.1%, finan­ cial aid will be realizing an effective increase of 18.8%. This is due to the need for funds to implement a “full need” student aid policy, whereby the institute will try to meet full fund­ ing need for all its students. This implementa­ tion began 2 years ago with the class of 1990 and for each class entering thereafter the financial aid office does its best to meet full need for every student in that class for the time they are at WPI. Other increases worthy of note are the funding for the new fiber optics telecommuni­ cations system, maintenance funds for the vari­ ous campus computer systems and funds to enhance the use o f computers in mathematical instruction. Without an increase in tuition, none o f these or any other improvements would be possible.

Student Activities Board expands to hold clubs

by David Toupin, '89 Due to the past decentralization o f various student organizations on campus, the Student Activities Board (SAB) is being expanded to accomodate the growing number o f clubs here at WPI. This reorganization has been approved by the Student Government and endorsed by the Dean o f Student’s Office as an official student

World House gains theme

by Gary M. Pratt Newspeak Staff Next year the current World House, lo­ cated at 16 Elbridge Street, will be updated into the first theme house at WPI. It will focus on international and cultural issues and will give 16 students a chance to live together and share common interests.

The plan for WPI to incorporate theme houses or floors was looked into last year by a committee task force which sent out a small survey to each student asking if that student would be interested in living in a theme related environment with a faculty member. Perhaps you remember that sur­ vey? The net result was only 20 people answering, with 4 showing no interest. The remainder showed interest mainly in US student - International student relations of current issues. This was a poor overall showing of interest for a potentially great idea and was “back- bumered” by the task force.

The drive for this new attempt at a theme house is by Tom Thomsen, Assistant Dean of Students, w ho believes in a more student oriented environment that caters to the interests of the students living at the world house. Such activities and programs would relate to the house’s theme but would be student planned and run with help from the house advisor and the house RA. Th­ omsen is the advisor and hopes students will take advantage of the opportunity that the world house offers.

As for who can apply, the selection process is open to any student that is inter­ ested in international themes. You do not have to be an international student to apply.

The world house is not on the housing lottery and requires a special application.

The deadline for this application, which can be picked up in the assistant Dean of Stu­ dents office, is February 24, and on assign­ ment will be completed by February 29.

The application is not long but asks you to complete two questions related to the inter­ national theme o f the house.

organization. The organizations that are pro­ vided for under the Student Government constitution (SOCCOM, IFC, class officers, Panhellenic Association. Residence Hall Coun­ cil, SAS), and the Athletic Dept, teams will still remain outside o f the SAB. There are a great many benefits to the new SAB structure. Being recognized by the Dean of Student’s Office and the SAB means being able to use the WPI facilities free of charge, being included in the Student Handbook and directories, maintaining a mailbox, using the SAB van, and using the WPI name. There will be an increased amount o f communication among the various clubs themselves as well as with the campus community. This should lead to a better co-ordination of activities and more publicity. Seminars will be offered on leader­ ship, organizational skills, and recruiting new

members. Undergraduate groups which exist on campus will not be given any of the privi­ leges granted to an SAB- member organization nor will they be recognized by the school.

The new SAB is made up of five councils and committees. The President’s Council, which consists o f a representative from each club as well as the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, is the overall govern­ ing body of the SAB. The Executive Council is made up o f the four officers, a chairm an from each committee, and two representatives and is responsible for the daily administration of the SAB. There also exists a Budget Committee, Van Committee, and Club Sports Committee.

At present, positions are open for the Club Sports Committee Chairman and for seats on the three committees. Anyone interested in these positions should sign up at the SAB

meeting this Wednesday, February 10 at 7:30 p.m. in SL 104. This is the first meeting of the new SAB and all clubs that are presently on the SAB are requested to attend or they will be fined 5% of their SAB allocation and/or lose voting priveleges. Any club that is not presently a member and has a copy of their constitution on file in the Dean of Student’s Office needs to sent a representative to the meeting. All other clubs must submit a copy of their constitution to the SAB (mailbox 5800) and should also be repre­ sented at this w eek’s meeting.

The meeting on Wednesday will cover an explanation of the new structure, membership information, and the budget process for this year. It is important that all clubs be repre­ sented. Any questions can be directed to the SAB mailbox in the central mailroom.

Jazz events highlight fine arts at WPI (W PI) - Tw o of the top names in jazz today — world reknowned trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and pianist M akoto Ozone — will perform on the WPI campus in February. Gillespie will appear in Harrington Auditorium at 8 p.m. on February 12. O zone’s trio will perform in Alden Hall at 8 p.m. on February 15.

The artists will be in town for Jazz W orc­ ester 1988, a nine-day festival which will in­ clude appearances by some of the finest jazz musicians in the world. The festival is spon­ sored by the Jazz W orcester Society and the Worcester Cultural Commission in cooperation with WPI. Among those slated for the Festival are the

Scott Hamilton Quartet, the Alan Dawson Quartet, the Jazz Pops Ensemble and Katie Webster. WPI will also host a film and lecture presentation, “The World of Jazz,” as part of the Festival.

The Makoto Ozone concert— also a part of WPI’s “Spectrum Fine Arts Series” — is one of seven m ajor cultural events scheduled to take place at WPI during the month of February. In addition to the Jazz W orcester events, the WPI Social Committee (SOCCOMM) has scheduled three other “ Spectrum” performances and a “Cinematech Film Series” presentation.

He has also been a guest artist with the Cleveland and Tokyo Quartets and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and is currently on the faculties of the Eastman School of Music and Boston University.

On February 16 at 8 p.m., poet Allen Ginsberg will appear in Alden Hall. Ginsberg is best known as a founding m ember of the “ Beat Generation," and the author of “Howl,” a highly controversial poem written in the mid1950s. His resume lists associations with writ­ ers Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, as well as singers Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. He is a past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a grant from the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and has been a contributing editor for The New York Times. Atlantic Monthly, New Yorker, and Rolling Stone magazines.

The American Vocal Arts Quintet will ap­ pear in Alden Hall at 8 p.m. on February 29. The ensemble is made up of four singers and a pianist whose individual credits include Tanglewood Fellowships and performances with major musical organizations such as the Boston Symphony and the Santa Fe Opera. The pro­ gram will include selections from theirdiverse repertoire spanning the world of vocal music.

All three performances are a part of the “ Spectrum” series.

The “Cinematech" presentation, on Febru­ ary 9, will feature the 1985 film, “What Hap­ pened to Kerouac.” The one and one-half hour documentary includes rare recordings of Ker­ ouac reading some of his own works, as well as appearances by his contemporaries Allen Ginsberg, W illiam Burroughs and Neal and Carolyn Cassady. The film will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Alden Hall.

Black History Month Continues at WPI

Infirmary Hours Inaccurate To the Editor:

For the second consecutive year, WPI is actively celebrating February as Black History month. People might wonder why a campus with such a small number o f black students and administration would be so involved in the celebration. The answer is that not only should the achievements o f black people be celebrated, but so should those o f all races. And, as WPI has many international students, this program provides a good reason for all o f the WPI com­ munity to think about the great strides the human race has made.

At the beginning o f C-term, there was a breakfast held at Quinsigamond Community College with Makeziwe Mandela as the key- note speaker. During her speach, Mandela stressed that despite the easing o f racial tensions in the United States since the I960's, the feelings can still be fe lt in today's society. People in America still refer to Asians, Blacks, Native Americans, Women and other groups as “minorities" not stopping to think that these people make up a large majority o f the world population and that they are fa r from the “minority ” in most other countries.

Many o f these groups that people classify as being ‘‘minorities’’ are descendants o f countries that had been well developed thousands o f years before America was even discovered. The contributions to technology made by countries such as China, and from people such as Galileo. Archimedes, and the Pythagoras are invaluable and are the basis on which our society rests. To discriminate against an entire group o f people only shows ones' ignorance. People belonging to a group do not like to be classified as a certain type just because o f the actions o f one member, they want to be thought o f as individuals and responsible fo r their own actions, not those o f others.

WPI students might be asking themselves what the big deal is since we do not have a large number o f blacks on campus. This is true, but we do have many students that some would consider minorities, and therefore, WPI should celebrate this event in a broader sense, rec­ ognizing not only blacks but all our fellow students and administration. WPI is not a closed society; it is a community developed fo r thought, learning, and friendship. So, as Black History Month continues, think about the achievements and contributions made by all people throughout the world, as well as those o f Blacks. cn

A little while ago I decided to visit the WPI Infirmary to see about my sore throat. It was about 4:45 p.m. I found the infirmary door locked so I rang the bell several times. No one was inside. A sign taped to the inside of the door read: Worcester Polytechnic Institute Health Office Office Hours: Monday - Friday 7 a.m. - 11 p.m.

Saturday & Sunday 7 a.m. - 11 p.m.

IF YOU NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE WHEN THE OFFICE IS CLOSED, PLEASE CALL CAMPUS POLICE 793-5543

I thought it a little unusual that no one was there during the hours posted as open. My curiosity aroused, I returned to my room and called the number given for campus police (793-5543) several times. I got no answer any of the times. Both the infirmary office hours and the campus police phone number posted on the door were inaccurate. In my case this resulted in merely a slight inconvenience. In an em er­ gency situation, however, it could result in a dangerous delay for a seriously injured person.

I hope in the future the infirmary staff will take more care to at least post accurate information on their door.

A concerned patient.

Outgoing Leaders of SOCCOMM Commended To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to publical ly acknowledge the significant contri­ butions made by a number of our student leaders since my tenure at WPI began this past July.

Although there is a continuous “changing of the guards” in most student groups. I’d like to concentrate on the outgoing leadership of the major programming board on campus, SOC­ COMM. This fall I arrived at WPI to find a program­ ming board totally funded by a Student Activity Fee (approximately $69 per student) under the capable leadership of Kathi Sherry '89. I found Kathi to be truly concerned about the quantity and quality o f programs offered to the WPI community. I was also quick to see that she had surrounded herself with extremely creative, organized, and energetic committee chairper­ sons by the names of Sue Morena (Concerts), Kathy Murray (Special Events), Steve Hall (Coffeehouse), Chris Hines and Janis Berka (Publicity), Matt Keamy (Films), Rudy Minar (Pub), and Dave Caiati (Spectrum). Overseeing the expenditures of the group’s $130,000

budget was Edie Mickey, another dedicated, hard worker.

Over the past six months this group and their respective committees have provided a variety o f successful programs for their peers ranging from Steven W right, to John Stockwell’s CIA Lecture, to comedy nights in the pub, films, and so on. They have also been active in planning the events for C & D Terms.

Recently a new set of leaders were elected who are now under the experienced leadership o f Brian Horgan who has been in SOCCOMM for the past 3 years. Their challenge is to continue providing quality programs o f high interest, creativity, and diversity.

Any student can be involved in planning SOCCOMM events by simply contacting Brian Horgan. It’s your programming dollars.

I wish SOCCO M M ’s new leadership con­ tinued success and again, thank the outgoing leadership for all their hard work!

1LETTERS Where Has Intersession Gone?

To the Editor: Winter break has come and gone, and many have noticed Intersession somehow disap­ peared this year. I do not remember any an­ nouncements to the student body about its can­ cellation. It seems someone has pulled a fast one on us.

One can read about Intersession in the 87-88 Undergraduate Catalog (page 178) which was scheduled for January 11- 15. Apparently, when the school calender was changed in September, so did the plans to hold Intersession 1988.

However, in the new 88- 89 Undergraduate Catalog all information about Intersession has been entirely eliminated. Thus, I can only conclude that this is a permanent change.

According to the Catalog, Intersession is “An integral part of the academic year at WPI.”

How can such an integral part of our year go by without anyone saying something about it?

There were many good things about Inters­ ession. Most importantly it allowed one to sample courses which they otherwise would probably never take. Registration fees for courses taken during Intersession were in­ cluded in the regular yearly tuition costs. For $ 15,000 a year, it was one o f those extra things to help seem like you were getting your money’s worth. Although tuition is rising 11% next year, our Intersession is gone.

What happened to Intersession and why has it been kept so quiet? I think we deserve some answers.

My View from the Fourth Year Secede From the Union

by Joshua Smith Newspeak Staff Last week you all received a notice from the “parking committee” announcing their meeting last Thursday. Not too many students attended the meeting, but the place was packed with faculty, administration, and staff. There were a lot of suggestions, gripes, and concerns floating around, but nobody there was able to propose a viable solution to W PI's parking problem. In formulating a solution, we have to keep in mind the factors of aesthetics, cost, and whether we are going to have an inward- or outward-looking campus. That last one was brought up by a number of faculty members (perhaps becausc the meeting was held in Kaven Hall, “the Kave”). It seems that although the campus was originally designed to look “urban" with all the doors to the various buildings facing out onto the street, many of the faculty feel that we should try to redirect the attention of the build­ ings inward. It is felt that by harboring a feeling of isolationism, the school can encourage more inter-departmental interaction.

Keeping all these things in mind, I have come up with a perfect solution to the parking problem: WPI should secede from the Union.

One of the biggest problems the school has had with previous parking solutions is that the City of W orcester w on’t cooperate in the solving of the problem. We want to close West Street.

They won’t let us. We wanted to put in a parking lot on the land where the W orld House used to be. It took the city a couple years, and a lot of arm twisting, to approve that. But if we were to simply declare ourselves an independent na­ tion, our problems with the city would be over.

We would not only be able to close West Street, but we would also be able to close Salisbury Street and Institute Road. We could annex ail the land we needed in the area, and use the lots therein for parking. Salisbury is four lanes — we could park over 100 cars there if we reduced it to one one-way lane.

I know what you’re thinking, “The Feds would never let us get away with it.” Well, you’re wrong. We have a nuclear facility chock

full of weapons grade radioactive material. You think the G overnm ent’s worried about Iran having a nuclear bomb? Just think o f their reaction when we tell them we’ve put one in the hands of CAP — a group whose collective level of insanity makes Komehni look like Aristotle.

We could draw our borders along Salisbury Street at either end o f Institute park. Our Insti­ tute borders would run similarly from Park Ave

Simpletons Don’t Procrastinate: They Wait

by Simpleton Despite its appropriateness, it is a mistake that I wear an analog watch. If not wound, it gives the illusion that time has stopped and waited for me. This, of course, is not true. Thus, it has been two issues since I wrote my article of introduction. My articles will continue to be intermittant. One cannot force spontaneity, and although many things in life fan be anticipated, an idea cannot. So, I’ve tried to avoid the real issue at hand, waiting patiently for a thought.

Here it is: I admit it; the Simpletons of the world pro­ crastinate. T otry tobeeuphem isticissilly; we do put things off. To use Webster’s once again, to procrastinate is “to dawdle, delay, and loiter."

Again, Webster has made Simpletons look bad.

I was not discouraged, however, because I no­ ticed that the very next word in my edition is “procreate.” Only a Simpleton could be com ­ forted by this fact. The perfect word - after “procrastinate” comes “procreate," and on the very same page comes the related word “pro­ lific.” But before I lose you, let’s look at “procreate.” I’m speaking of intellectual pro­ creation, o f course. And, like its biological counterpart, it is a lengthy, exhausting process which ends in a painful but beautiful separation from its creator. Then comes the wonderful process of nurturing.

Sim ilarly, an idea, particularly a Simpleton’s, must be immediately attended to.

To use a common metaphor, a Simpleton’s idea is like a castle in the air that most desperately needs a foundation before it crashes to the ground with a resounding thud. So why not build the foundation first? Quite simply, to start

Jo e C ool

at the beginning, so to speak, will always have predictable results. And predictability and creativity live together about as comfortably as oil and water. There is a risk, however. A large, ambitious castle might come crashing down on top of a fortress of intellectual inertia long since constructed from the foundation up. It seems to me there is just too much emotional investment in the status quo, defended so carefully in such fortresses. In short, building castles in the air is not a risk.

In fact, a Simpleton would relish to see a hundred ideas pursued if any one had a chance of going anywhere. If we bet only on the definite and the predictable, we will become quietly stagnant.

So what is the process that builds up the foundation, that nurtures a new creation? What any Simpleton would do would be to simplify it and retrace his steps. There is nothing impres­ sive about the lofty and intellectually complex.

The best of ideas are those that you can. at least in part, explain to five year- olds. Then, you can say “wow" together. Making the idea this easily communicable is difficult but important fo ra Simpleton, because a Simpleton is, by defini­ tion. lazy at building foundations. A weakness, perhaps, but the world already has enough foun­ dation builders.

Enough said. I now owe some lime to respond to a letter sent to the paper last week concerning my first article: please take the time to read my article again. Thank you for your interest.

O f course, 1 welcome further rr ninses. regardless of the nature.

to Sigma Pi. And West Street from Highland to Institute would be o u r Check Point Charlie.

That’s five places where we would need armed guards (and according to a friend of mine in Army ROTC, the school has about five working M-16s — perfect). Boynton H all’s roof is already configured for long range defense by expert snipers (look at it some time, it looks like there were once cannons where the rain gutters are now). Institute Pond would, o f course, be our North border.

Money would be no problem. Not only does WPI have an endowment about the size of the national budget, but we would be free from taxation (I’ve heard that WPI has to pay taxes on some o f the houses it owns and leases out to Realtors). Morale wouldn’t be a problem either.

WPI could reinstitute drinking on campus.

t K\

There were two reasons it was eliminated: Mas­ sachusetts has this silly law which prevents most college-age students from drinking, and the insurance companies w ouldn’t insure us if we served alcohol. Of course we wouldn’t need to worry about laws anymore, being an inde­ pendent nation and all. And we w ouldn’t need insurance if we refused to be tried in United States courts.

We could try to foster good diplomatic rela­ tions with the United States, like Canada does.

This would prevent the need for Passports and Visas whenever we wanted to leave the com­ pound to do some shopping.

As far as government is concerned, a little relabeling and we would be all set. Call the faculty “Congress.” President Strauss could keep his title (provided he doesn’t get over­

thrown in any civil wars or anything). We already have a judicial system. The police would be the “Army.” Most states have an official or unofficial church, so we could annex that one next to Higgins House and the one next to Founders Hall (sort of a branch office).

Marshall law would be a good idea, at least for the first 20 years or so. Capital punishment for violation of parking rules would be in order (that should be in the Constitution, by the way).

W e’ve got our own power plant. We could ask the gang down in Civil Engineering to arrange for water and sewage treatment. We even have firemen, in case we need them. With all the engineers floating around WPI, we could be one of the best-educated, most technologi­ cally superior countries in the world. Look out Japan, here we come!

Issac Asimov Insects Deserve More Respect

I.A TIMKS SYNDICATE

bv Isaac Asimov

The American Museum of Natural history in New York bought a mineral collection from Columbia University in 1980. The mineral collection included pieces of amber, and a couple of months ago, a museum curator, David Grimaldi, looking over the bits of amber, found himself staring at a bee that was over 80 million years old.

It may not seem like much to those of us who dismiss insects as annoying pests, but the fact is, insects are the most successful forms of life on Earch. An alien from a distant planet who was examining Earth dispassionately might well report back to his superiors that Earth was an insect world with an unimportant scattering of other types of life as well.

Consider that almost a million different species of insects are known. This is a far greater number than the total of all other species of life (ital) combined (unital). In fact, about five out of every six species of life on Earth are insects.

W hat's more, this only includes the life forms that are known. There are many millions of species that have not yet been discovered, named and described — especially in the tropi­ cal forests — and of these it is confidently estimated that almost all are insects o f one sort or another. There may be anywhere from 2 million to 5 million species of insects actually in existence and it is possible that up to 97 percent of all species are insects.

Why are insects so successful? They are small and they are fecund, laying uncounted numbers of eggs. There may be as many as 4 million individual insects in one acre of land.

This means that insects are difficult to wipe out. Kill 99 out of I (K) and those who manage to survive will lay enough eggs to restore the

population in no time. In fact, although human beings have easily driven toextinction various large forms of life, including mammoths and mastodons, and are endangering many others today, it would appear that despite our best efforts, we have never managed to wipe out a single insect species. Roaches and mosquitoes flourish, for instance, though every person’s hand is against them.

The vast turnover in numbers means that evolution proceeds at an enorm ous rate among insects, so that new species with new character­ istics are being formed much more quickly than is true for the ordinary animals about us. Every once in a while we slaughter insects with insec­ ticides and kill billions of them. A relatively few, however, just happen to be naturally resis­ tant to a particular insecticide. They survive and rapidly have millions of descendants, all resis­ tant. In the space o f a few years, the insecticide loses its value and a new one has to be found.

Paleontologists would dearly love to have the details o f the evolutionary development of insects, but they are small and leave few fossils.

The oldest traces of insects are those of very primitive "springtails," insects that have no wings and can do no more than spring in an attempt to get away when frightened. (Such springtails still exist today.) Sprintgtails lived at least 370 million years ago.

About 280 million years ago, giant dragonfl ies had evolved with a wingspread of up to 27 I/2 inches, the largest insects that ever lived.

But the evolutionary record o f insects is full o f gaps. And yet we have one lucky break.

Occasionally insects were trapped in the sticky resin exuded by the ancient (now-extinct) ever­ green trees. The resin fossilized into the mate­ rial we now call amber and the amber kept the insect bodies entombed for millions of years.

The oldest insects thus found are 120 million years old.

The bee that was found very recently in am ber (a piece that originated in Burlington Country, N.J. isn’t quite that old but it is twice as old as any other bee relic ever located, and yet, even after 80 million years ago, bees must have formed long before that — perhaps an­ other 80 million years before. This is of impor­ tance in connection with plants. It is thought that flowering plants evolved along with bees (and similar insects), for the two are connected.

Bees live essentially on the nectar of flowers, while flowers reproduce bec*use*bees carry pollen from one flower to the next. Flowering plants are thought to have originated about 135 million years ago. but if bees are older than that, then so are flowers.

Paleontologists continue to look. Every insect found in amber is precious.

MQP SEMINAR

Private Colleges May Raise Tuition For Appearance's Sake (CPS) - Some private college raise their tuition rates not to meet rising expenses, but to look more selective and prestigious, David Breneman, president o f Kalamazoo College in Michigan told a college finance conference recently.

“Right or wrong,” Breneman told the Na­ tional Center for Postsecondary Governance and Finance conference Jan. 21, “price is a message to the public of what we are. I do nothing for my college if I am a good citizen and I raise tuition only 5 percent.”

Keeping Kalamazoo’s tuition lower than other independent colleges’, he said, would lead potential students to think the school isn’t as good as its competitors.

It may be good marketing, but the revelation didn’t sit well with some o f Breneman’s stu­ dents.

Cheryl Harants, Kalam azoo’s student gov­ ernment president, called Breneman’s views “a very shortsighted analysis.” Although school officials say they’re committed to establishing a diverse student body, tuition increases designed to maintain prestige are turning Kalamazoo into

Tuition, room and board at Kalamazoo cost $12,183 this year, up 7 percent since the 1986 87 school year. Spokesman Terrence A. Taylor said Kalamazoo’s fees are among the lowest of the schools in the Great Lakes College Associa­ tion, a group o f private midwestem liberal arts colleges.

The College Board reported last summer that tuitions at 4-year private colleges rose an average of 8 percent for the 1987-88 school year. Tuitions at public 4-year institutions rose 6 percent.

U.S. Secretary o f Education W illiam Ben­ nett long has charged colleges raise their tui­ tions not to meet their financial needs, but because the market will bear it.

In mid-January, he again told the American Council on Education convention he suspected some private colleges raise tuition each year to maintain their “snootiness.”

Stanford Becomes First To Ban Most Outdoor Smoking (CPS) W hile hundreds o f cam puses in recent years have designated no- smoking areas, Stanford University apparently became the first to ban smoking in many outside areas as well. Starting January 29, smoking will be prohibited at all the school’s outdoor athletic facilities, associate athletic director Alan Cummings announced.

Cummings said banning smoking just from certain areas o f the facilities w ould have “dis­ rupted the seating o f longtime ticket holders.”

Moreover, they “can move to concourses or otheroutdoor spaces if they wish to smoke,” he added.

Various places found ways to restrict the “weed” during the past year. Harvard banned

smoking in “public places” which was inter­ preted to mean offices. O hio State University instituted a similar ban, while the University of Texas decided to permit residents to smoke only in their bedrooms o r other designated areas.

The University o f Iowa banned smoking in dining halls. The University of Arizona re­ moved its last cigarette vending machine.

But at the University o f Illinois, a resolu­ tion banning smoking in all buildings at Champagne-Urbana was defeated. The vote left in effect a regulation allowing smoking in of­ fices, seminar rooms, lounges, restrooms and corridors.

Regional Online Catalog Installed at Gordon Library (W PI) During the last few weeks, many WPI library users have taken advantage of a new resource available in Gordon Library.

Located near the card catalog are four AT&T 6300s connected to a regional database that provides library users with online access to Gordon Library’s holdings as will as the hold­ ings o f about forty other academic and public libraries. For the next few months Godon Library and the Milford Public Library will be testing this regional online catalog in coopera­ tion with C/W MARS (Central Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing), a network of academic and public libraries in the central and western parts o f the state. Besides WPI, C/W MARS libraries in W orcester include Clark University, UMass Medical Center, Worcester Public Library, and W orcester State College.

The online catalog lets you search for mateials by author name, title, subject, and keyword. It is also possible to com bine search requests using the Boolean operators AND, OR, and ANDNOT.

At the present time, periodicals, most audio­ visual material, and uncataloged items, such as newspapers and most of the microfiche techni­ cal reports, are not searchable online. For mateials in the catalog, you can determine if WPI owns an item, its call number and location in the library, its status (charged out, on the shelf, etc.), and the date due if it is charged out.

You also can find out the call number and status for items at other C/W MARS libraries. The online catalog will be refined and enhanced over the next several monts. You can help in this process by using the catalog and providing the library staff with you comments by filling out a user questionaire at the terminal. A l­ though the online catalog will replace the card catalog in the future, it presently may not contain all of the information found in the card catalog. Therefore, it may be necessary to check both sources, especially during the on­ line catalog test period. Printed instructions and online help are available, and library staff will be happy to assist you.

11:00 am until 2:00 pm to talk about the Peace Corps experience, the requirements, and bene­ fits. Peace Corps will also sponsor a special film presentation, “The Toughest Job You’ll Ever Love” with free admission on Tuesday, February 9 from 7:00-9:00 pm in Higgins Hall, Room 109.

Recruiters will interview interested stu­ dents in Boynton Hall on February 9. Students are requested to sign up through the Career Office.

While the Peace Corps is able to utilize the skills o f people with a wide variety of back­ grounds, college graduates with degrees in certain “scarce skill” areas are particularly needed. A math major might find themselves teaching in a secondary school with 100 village students in Fiji in the South Pacific, an engi­ neering major may be assigned to help plan and construct schools in a remote area o f Gabon, Africa, a biology major might be placed at a site in the Caribbean to determine how to use available energy resources where deforesta­ tion has taken a heavy toll. The possibilities are vast and the creative endeavors of the volunteers are limitless.

“The professional growth gained from ex­ perience overseas as a Peace Corps volunteer is invaluable,” stated Judie Jackson, Peace Corps recuritment coordinator for WPI and former volunteer in The Gambia, Africa. “Recent graudates are working at a level that is hard to match here in the U.S. without years of expe­ rience,” Jackson explained.

Volunteers serve in 60 developing coun­ tries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Carib­ bean and the South Pacific. During their last 2 years o f service, they receive a living allow­ ance, paid travel and training, com plete medi­ cal care, and a post-service readjustment al­ lowance o f $5,400 ($200 per month served).

Students unable to see a representative during the recruitment drive, as well as those who do not have access to placement services, should write to Peace Corps, 10 Causeway Street, Room 450, Boston, MA 02222 or call the Peace Corps office collect at (617) 5655555.

A Look Around Town

by Jeffrey Coy Features Editor The Worcester Art Museum has decided to extend its showing of “A Panoram aof Photog­ raphy: 150 Years Since Daguerre,” an exhibi­ tion celebrating the 150th anniversary of pho­ tography.

Organizer and curator Stephen B. Jareckie, who has skillfully guided the Museum's photo­ graphic collection since its inception in 1962, acted on the exhibit’s overwhelming popular­ ity and extended the closing date to February 14. On view in the M useum ’s First Floor Hiatt Wing, the collection traces both the techno­ logical and aesthetic advances o f the medium since its invention by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre in a cluttered Parisian studio in 1837.

It also recognizes the twenty-fifth anniversary o f the W orcester Art M useum ’s collection, which now numbers over 1500 works. Among the pieces included are several by such no­ tables as Man Ray, Alfred Steiglitz, and, of course, Ansel Adams. For further information, contact the Museum at 799-4406.

For area hockey fans, Monday, February 29 will be an important date. Horizons for Youth, a non-profit organization providing outdoor and camping programs for needy and under­ privileged children, will host its 18th annual “Salute to the Boston Bruins.” Held at the Caruso Diplomat in Saugas at 6:00 p.m., the program will give attendees the chance to meet all of the Bruins players, coaches, and manage­ ment in person. The fully tax deductible tick­ ets, which cost $55 each, provide for a fullcourse roast beef dinner, autograph sessions, a souvenir program booklet, and a question and answer period. For reservations and further information, call 828-7550.

Budding WPI poets may be interested in entering this year’s Coastal Classic Poetry Contest.

For those people interested in learning more about religion, history and literature, a new school opening next fall may be the an­ swer.

Alan Uliman, assistant rabbi at Temple Emmanuel and teacher at Anna Maria college for two years, has decided to open a school in September. He will be teaching courses on a variety of different subjects including the ten commandments, M oses’ teachings. Genesis and the theory of Creation, and Jewish mysti­ cism. These courses will not be taught as a study in religious content of the bible and other works, but instead, will contain a literary per­ spective of the stories, looking at literary form and how form affects content.

The courses for next fall will meet one hour per week for a total of thirteen weeks. Any person eighteen or older may apply, and, since the courses involve literature more than reli­ gion, the courses will be interdenominational.

The tuition for the school is $100 per course

ISPORTS Women’s Basketball Slump Continues

by Helen Webb Associate Editor must "increase the team shooting percentage, increase rebounding, decrease tum -overs, and decrease fouls." This will be a challenge, but Graves believes the team is capable o f playing competitive basketball.

Asked if there are any other bright spots.

Coach Graves replied, ‘‘the team is. at least, having fun. Theircoach isn't, but the team is.”

The Engineers travel to Amherst tonight to begin an away-game string that includes WNEC. Emmanuel, and SMU. The team re­ turns to Harrington Auditorium Saturday, February 20 at 2:00 p.m. to take on Anna Maria, the Engineers beat Anna Maria in their first meeting this year.

Losses to U. Mass - Boston. Colby and Brandeis last week brought the WPI W om en's basketball record to 2-13. However, although the team continues to be unable to win. all is not bleak, according to head coach Naomi Graves.

“We have been improving," said Graves, “al­ though this improvement is not showing in the final score.” Engineers who are doing well include Jody Normandin. who is averaging 19.9 points per game and is second in threepoint shots among New England Division III competitors. Graves also praised the play o f Engineers Eileen Sullivan (WPI’s second lead­ ing scorer). Donna DeFraitesand DebCarelli.

The four players scored in double figures to beat a strong W illiams team. Ayotte lead the team with 25. He was followed by Sioui (22 pts, 13 rebounds), Czerepusko (22 pts, 20 rebounds), and Ken W illis (18 pts).

Thursday, WPI will be away to take on MIT. They will return home on Saturday to play Salve Regina.

The men’s basketball team continued their winning ways by knocking off Coast Guard 7877, and Williams 100-93, to raise their record to 9-7.

Coast Guard came into the game with a 93 record and was heavily favored to beat the Engineers at home. But that did not stop WPI. Down 41 -38 at the half, WPI stormed back and went on a 11 -0 run to give themselves the lead.

During the second half, it was all WPI, as they held Coast Guard to shooting under 50%, and at some points had them down by 12. Coast Guard would not give up though, and at times looked as though they might come back and

(s p o r t s l WPI Grapplers Drop Close One to Coast Guard

by Roger Burleson Sports Editor The meet between the number one Engi­ neers and the number two Coast Guard Acad­ emy came right down to the w ire. Coast Guard ended up on the winning side 2 1- 18.

The capacity crowd was brought to its feet as WPI swept the first three matches. Rick Maguire (118) beat his man by the score o f 106. His match was followed by two straight technical falls. Todd Wyman ( 126) and Jason Benoit ( 134) manhandled their opponents by the scores of 15-0 and 19-4 respectively. WPI owned a 13-0 lead at this point. Dave Daniels (142) ran out of time in his match, as he had his man on his back when the final buzzer sounded. He ended up losing 14-8. M attOney (150) battled back against his opponent to score a 9-9 draw. Toby Wyman (158) dropped aclose7-5 match and WPI still had a 15-5 lead.

Brian Glatz (167) upped the lead to 18-8 by winning his match 6-2. It would come down to the three remaining matches to decide the outcome of the meet. Jeff Graveline, normally 167, was bumped up to 177 where he lost 122. Seung-Ho Choi was moved up to 190 where he faced defending 177 pound champion Vito Roselli. He was laterpinned in the match, and the meet stood tied at 18-18. Jim Rogers was then asked to give up a lot of weight and wrestle heavyweight. Jim wrestled him close and at times looked as if though he might pull it off.

But in the end Coast Guard prevailed and won the match 21-18.

It was a disappointing loss for WPI. as they had high hopes of beating Coast Guard. But, they still have the New England Tournament coming up February 26-27 to get even. WPI is the defending tournament champion. This weekend they will see action in the Northern flaqo iiii. *

New England Tournament. Their next meet will be on the 13th against Trinity and Wesleyan at Wesleyan. W PI’s record now stands at 11-3.

Women’s Swimming Victorious Over Bridgewater The Engineer’s had five first-place finish­ ers as the women earned a 119-110 victory over Bridgewater State. First place finishers in­ cluded seniors Katherine Cushing in the 1000 m freestyle, and Diane Fryer in the 200 m freestyle. Junior Kim Kuzmitski won in the 50

m and 500 m freestyles. The 400 m freestlye relay team also won. The team consisted of sophomore Jennifer Tobin, Fyrer, Cushing, and Kuzmitski.

Well, let me tell you, when I saw those beautiful flowers in that fine porcelain bowl it drove me wild.

Besides, this glorious bouquet also came with a note pad and pencil with which I’ve written my Valentine every day.

And smart Valentines know it doesn’t cost much to send us anthemaniacs into this flower frenzy.

Just ask your florist to have FTD send one for you.

THETA C H I Greetings Brothers: Congratulations to our ice hockey team who edged out the previously undefeated GAM. 4-3.

Special thanks to Jeff, a recent transfer from Minnesota and our Bud-light player of the game. (When did he graduate anyway?)

Sparked by two goals from Dave “Luck-o-thelrish" Coppola and some outstanding penalty killing, we were able to jum p out to a 4 - 1 lead.

With this victory and two games in hand, we lire assured of a playoff berth. Also contributing were Billy Ray and Rick Driscoll (one goal each). Jay O ’Duse (2 assists), and Vince McGinty (assist and two penalties). There is currently a three-way scoring tie between Cop­ pola, O ’Duse, and McGinty (each with four points) while McGinty holds the team and league lead in penalties. From the opening faceoff it was apparent that the boys in blue would play like never before. This was due in part to the long awaited return of “skin” Macies who just flew in from doing his IQP in Washing­ ton. B-term bowling (like Chicopee) is the balls at 30-2.

Also congratulations to Fred and Adam for doing a great job on their first party as social chairmen. Looking forward to many more!!

Z E T A PSI Another week - another letter! We have so much to be pleased about this week. Our intramural basketball team finished all six games undefeated, we had a very successful “L et’s-Blow-Off-The- Battle-Of-The-Bands” Party last Saturday, and we elected new mem­ bers to our Supreme Council.

The party was a rousing success, for those that remember it. Brad - bless you, and your interesting punch (exactly what was floating in the bowl?). Thank you, Adam, for sharing the contents of your stomach with everyone in the living room. W e’d also like to thank Eucker, our beloved Love-God, for not hugging every­ one (but, we do love you...), and we wouldn’t want to leave out Fiji’s invaluable contribution to the party’s overall success.

We have new members on our Supreme Council (a.k.a. KGB), which are as follows: Adam Pease, Jim Sitomer, Stanley Kim, and Dennis “Thank You” Whaley.
