WPI welcomes class of ’94 (W PI News Service) The identify ing characteristic of W PI’s freshman class is balance, says Robert Voss, executive director of adm issions and financial aid. “Last year it was size, as we w elcom ed the second largest fresh man class in WPI history - 713 stu dents. This year our target is 650, so this class will be large and academ i cally and geographically balanced,” he says. As of early August there w ere 713 potential freshmen who had paid their deposits. A pproxim ately 700 fresh men moved in last week, and an exact count will be available after registra tion. The class hails from 38 states and 26 foreign countries and will include about 120 women, or the same num ber o f w omen as last year. A cadem ically, 84.5 percent are from the top two deciles of their high school classes, while 9 percent are ei ther class valedictorians or salutatorians. As in prior years, the m ost popular m ajors will be mechanical and electri

cal engineering (142 and 113 students respectively). O ther popular m ajors are aerospace engineering (93), civil engineering (64) and computer science (50). G eographically, 47 percent com e from M assachusetts and another 28 percent are from the remainder o f New England. The next largest group, 12 percent, are from the M id-Atlantic states, while 4 percent are from the W est, 3 percent from the South and 2 percent from the Midwest. There are 5 percent foreign students. O ther demographics o f the entering freshman class show 119 students with relatives who have attended W PI. Public schools account for 79 percent o f the Class o f ’94. Total undergraduate enrollm ent figures also include the substantial number o f transfer students w ho enroll at the Institute each year. “This year, 70 students will transfer to W PI, mostly as advanced sophom ores,” says Roy Seaberg, director o f special ad missions. “Most come from com m u

nity colleges and 60 percent are nontraditional students, ranging in age from 25 to 52." “We currently compete w ith the top 50 schools in the nation,” Voss says. “ W e’re looking at students consider ing schools like Harvard and Stan ford.” W hat does the Adm issions Office look for in potential freshmen? The high school record is usually a good barometer, Voss notes. “The chances are someone w ho’s performed well in high school should do well in college, but evidence of motivation and partici pation in activities are also important indicators o f college success. Some one w ho’s active and has achieved a leadership role in various activities is a good candidate.” SAT and A CT scores are still required for all candidates, but the weight placed on them in the ad missions process has been greatly re duced, Voss says. Recommendations and an interview are also part o f the process. “W e’re pleased to have had enough interest in WPI to easily exceed our

If you live in H ackfeld House, Schussler, or one of the Trow bridge Houses, you might have noticed that they were repainted, have new carpeting, and, except for H ackfeld, have new furniture this year. As part o f regular dorm itory m ainte nance, Stoddard B had all its rooms refurbished over the sum m er - the car pets, w iring, and draperies were changed. Stoddard A and C w ill be refurbished over the next two sum mers. M any doors in Ellsw orth and Fuller appartments were replaced to m ake them more secure. The ro o f of M organ Hall was com pletely replaced because it was getting old and there were a few leakage com plaints. Sinks, show ers and plum bing were also re placed. Hot water heaters w ere in stalled in Riley as well. Incidentally, the num ber o f incom ing freshm en decreased this year, and there are only 20 triples, instead o f the 50 at the beginning o f last year. Also, all the houses were changed to upper classm en only, and about 25 transfers were accom odated with housing.

Those o f you w ho were here the past two weeks m ight have noticed the pow er shutdowns on two consecutive Saturdays because two new high voltage distributor substa tions were set up, increasing the elec trical capacity o f the campus by 3000 KVA. The east campus and the path to Higgins House underwent extensive road repair. There was also som e work

Repairs for Fuller Labs, which was partially dam aged from the fire last year ( for those of you who remember) are alm ost com plete. When the CS department moved to Fuller Labs last year and the Social Sciences department moved to Atwa ter Kent, quite a bit of space was cre ated in both Atw ater Kent and Salis bury Laboratories, which set the pace for some renovation and departm ent reorganization this year.

Fatal stabbing near WPI by G ary DelG rego E dUor-m -Chief

At approximately 2:10 am Satur day, August 26, Edward L. Dulmaine Jr., 26, of Hubbardston, was fatally stabbed behind the Sunoco Station at the intersection of Boynton and High land streets. Reports indicate that the man, accompanied by friends, saw some one near his car. As he approached his vehicle, the assailant stabbed him in the chest. Dulmaine was in cardiac arrest when transported to Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced

dead. The suspect fled on foot in the direction o f WPI. Worcester Police in cooperation with WPI Police searched the area for the man but were unable to locate him. Police are look ing for a white male, about 6 ’2", with shoulder length blond hair and a mustache. At the time of the stabbing he was wearing a red hat and a grey/ bluejacket, which was found a short distance from the scene. Anyone who might have informa tion concerning this incident is urged to call the Worcester Police detective division.

Living on a college campus often provides a sense of security. How ever, it is important to remember that the streets of New England's second largest city are interspersed with the campus grounds, and that WPI is not immune to the problems of large cit ies. The recent fatal stabbing on High land Street should serve to underscore the need to pay attention to one’s personal safety. While this stabbing may be an isolated occurrence, there have been incidents in the past such as housebreaks, larcenies and assaults both on campus and in the immediate area. Awareness and common sense are the best defense against these types of incidents. Taking a minute to think of ways that one might be victimized usually reveals simple steps which will significantly reduce the likeli hood that such actions will occur. For instance, keeping room doors locked, particularly when sleeping or away from the room (even for a minute) will go a long way toward ensuring per

sonal safety. Locked fire doors add an extra degree of protection, but not if they are left propped open. When out at night, try to travel in groups in well lit areas. Campus Police will provide escorts within a one mile radius of WPI, and SNaP (Student Night assistance Patrol) provides walking escorts between points on campus. WPI Campus Police can be reached at 831-5433 (emergencies call 831-5555), and SNaP can be reached at 831 -5566 be tween 9pm and 2am (3am on week ends). Students should not feel that they are inconveniencing someone by requesting an escort. The service was set up for a reason and its use is encouraged. All suspicious activity should be reported immediately to Campus Police, or to the Worcester Police Department (dial 911) if the activity is off-campus. Report the activity even if it is unclear whether some thing is actually wrong. It is easier for police to investigate a few “false alarms” than to try to solve a crime after it has occurred.

Lutz appointed dean of undergrad studies (WPI News Service) A new dean o f under graduate studies has been announced for WPI. Francis C. Lutz o f Worcester, presently associ ate dean o f undergraduate studies, assumed the post on August l upon the retirement of the incumbent dean, W illiam R. Grogan. WPI President Jon C. Strauss announced the appointment following a recommendation from the search committee and discussions with pro vost Diran Apelian and the executive committee o f the Trustees. “ Professor Lutz brings out standing credentials and background to this important position. His commitment to higher education and the engineering profession w ill serve WPI well in the future,” Strauss said. Lutz came to WPI in 1972 as an assistant professor o f civil engineering. He helped estab lish and served as the first director o f W PI’s Washington DC Project Center. The center provides undergraduates the opportunity to carry out projects with many government agen cies and national organizations and served as the model for WPI centers later established in London and San Francisco. He became the assistant dean for projects and associate profes sor o f civil engineering in 1976 and associate dean for projects and professor of c iv il engi neering in 1980. In 1986 he was appointed the associate dean o f undergraduate studies with responsibilities in cooperative education, ad ministrative computer systems, and administra tion o f the undergraduate program as well as continuing as a professor o f c iv il engineering. His research interests have included hydrology, water resources and water quality. The son o f Pauline and Charles Lutz of Elizabeth, NJ, he attended Saint Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, NJ and received his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from New Jersey Institute o f Technology. He holds a master’ s and doctor o f philosophy in environ mental engineering from New York university. He is a former principal o f the Union, NJ-based environmental engineering firm, M. Disco Associates. In 1988-89 Lutz served as an American Council on Education fellow at Carnegie M el lon University working closely with its presi

dent and provost participation in all aspects of institutional administration. He has been active in administration, teach ing, research and civic and community activities while at WPI. He has also been involved in a variety o f initiatives including the Issues Re search Collaborative Program, the NASA/ ASEE Space suit Glove Design Competition, the MITRE/W PI Space Shuttle Program, and the WPI Advanced Space Design Program. Lutz has assisted Dean Grogan, W P I’ s first dean o f undergraduate studies, in a range o f adminis trative responsibilities including interviewing faculty candidates, coordinating elements o f the accreditation review process, as well as serving

(WPI News Service) A cooperative effort between WPI and Zeta Mu Corporation has resulted in a new location for Tau Kappa Epsi lon (TKE). As a result o f an agreement signed on June 7, TKE w ill relocate from 1 Massachusetts Ave nue to 63 and 65 Wachusett Street. The move is expected to take place during the fall of the coming academic year. “ We’ve been working on this agreement with TKE and their parent corporation, Zeta Mu Corporation, for quite some time and believe it ’s in the best interest of WPI, the fraternity and the neighborhood,” says Steve Hebert, secretary o f the WPI Corporation. “ It w ill give the frater nity more room for members as well as better facilities.” The tum-of-the-century structures on Wachusett Street w ill be w ill be renovated for dining, cooking, meeting and housing facili ties for an estimated 48 students. About 20 members are housed at the Massachusetts Ave nue location. The agreement mentioned the TKE objective

also serves as a reviewer for the National Sci ence Foundation. Lutz, speaking about the appointment said “ Our position of innovative leadership in higher education makes the dean o f undergraduate studies at WPI a special position indeed. The person holding that position w ill be called upon as spokesperson to many audiences on behalf o f undergraduate engineering, science and man agement education, as well as on behalf of WPI. I am looking forward to the challenges and the opportunities of this decade and the next.”

S tr e e t

o f creating a facility for fraternity use which provides a superior standard o f fraternal living for their undergraduate members. Included in the restoration and renovation work is wiring for phone, data and cable T V to the majority of the rooms. The facility w ill also have a computer room for use by the undergraduate members. The Massachusetts Avenue property has been placed on the market by Zeta M u Corpora tion. This designated historic property is being marketed by Norbro Realty Co. o f Northborough, Massachusetts. Though the property requires renovations to return it to residential use, the property represents a wonderful oppor tunity to renovate a historical Worcester house, according to Zeta Mu. The relocation o f the fraternity to Wachusett Street was made possible by a variety of coop erative financing steps developed by WPI and TKE. Facilitating the agreement were Thomas Amoruso o f Boylston, Massachusetts (WPI Class o f 1982) and Paul Engstrom (WPI Class of

1985), president and treasurer o f Zeta Mu Cor poration, respectively. “ We are very excited about this project,” says Amoruso. “ The new facilities w ill provide our undergraduate members w ith the best pos sible facilities. This is a major undertaking o f our corporation. Our volunteer board of direc tors has worked on this concept for about four years. This effort has involved not only the corporation and WPI but also our dedicated alumni, our international organization, the architects and engineers, and o f course, our undergraduate members. It’s exciting to see all these cooperative efforts finally come to gether.” The fraternity renovations were de signed by Ramon H. Hovsepian Associates o f Worcester. TKE at WPI was founded on January 10 1959 and has been located at the Massachusetts Avenue address since 1960. The relocation effort w ill be completed on or before the 32nd anniversary ofT K E at WPI on January 10,1991.

I t ’s time to be back at WPI once again (or for the first time) and going back to school always reminds me of those idiotic “ What I did on my sum mer vacation” essays from grade school. Last year I began the year by doing one, but 1 was very limited in what I could write about. This year I decided that there were many more things that I didn't do, so I made up my mind to write about them instead. Without further ado. here is “ What 1 didn’t do on my summer vacation.” W ell first o f all, I didn’t stay single.

I didn’t spend any time on a tropical island, although I'm not sure if that’s my idea o f fun anyway. I didn’t spend enough time fishing or playing golf. I didn’t visit the Soviet Union and rub elbows with Gorbachev, in fact 1didn’t even cross the Atlantic. 1didn’t phone the Emir o f Kuwait and express my concern for his country (I didn’t think he’d accept a collect call.) 1didn’t get away from here during E-term. And 1 didn’t dog sled through Alaska. 1 really wanted to single-handedly establish a Lunar colony, but NASA wouldn’t cooperate; so 1 didn’t. 1 thought that it would be a good idea to bulldoze the Middle East and turn it

We’re on Film Two Hip Films by G e o ff L ittle fie ld a n d R ic h a rd O ’Steel

Geoff: Welcome back to school everyone. Whether you werHooking forward to returning (or arriving, in the case o f freshmen) o r not is immaterial. Y ou’re here and you have to deal with it one way or another. To help you through the trying times, Rich and I are going to attempt to keep you up to date on what movies might give solace. Rich: That’s right, we have re turned from our summer jobs (I worked at a book store and Geoff whittled away his summer at the WPI library) to face our final year and to put our two cents in concerning recent film releases. I f there’ s any question in your mind,-trust me, you can trust us. Geoff: We have a special treat this week, kiddies, instead o f one movie, we have reviewed TW O releases cur rently in the theaters. We shall start with Presumed Innocent. Rich: Based on the best-selling novel by Scott Turow, this film stars Harrison Ford as a deputy DA charged with the murder of a colleague. It may sound a bit trite, but the plot takes so many twists and turns, i t ’ s impossible to figure out ‘ whodunit’ before the very end. O f course, this makes for a rather gripping movie as you try to determine whether Ford is innocent or not. New evidence pops up continu ously that points in one direction, then back in another, and Ford's straightfaced performance makes it difficu lt to find the right one as you look on. Geoff: Besides the twisted, gnarled plot and Ford’s excellent performance, Bonnie Bedelia (from the Die Hard movies) also performs well as the devoted wife and Brian Dennehey (from Coccoon and Best Seller) is in triguing as the politically-motivated head DA and friend. The supporting actress portraying the victim in flash backs and Paul W infield (who also put in a special guest performance in one of my dreams as Pres. John Strauss - yes, Virginia, it was a W PI nightmare) also put in good performances. Overall, I give Presumed Innocent an Aztec pyramid and a twisty old oak tree that’ s great for climbing. Rich: And I present Presumed In nocent with a pint o f Rainforest Crunch ice cream and a summer in Bermuda.

Geoff: Next up, we have Flatliners. This film has been notoriously shot down by critic after critic. But, being the w ild and spontaneous rebels we are. Rich and I both liked it. Performances aren’t the question here. When you’re dealing with the likes o f Julia Roberts, Kiefer Suther land, and Kevin Bacon, you know the film at least stars competent actors. Flatliners, in a nutshell, is about a group o f medical students who try to discover the secrets o f the afterlife by inducing death in one o f their number thereby causing a near-death experi ence, and then bringing the subject back to life after a couple o f minutes. The four students who “ die” are haunted after their resurrections by a sin of guilt from their past. The rest o f the film is about them coming to terms with their pasts and atoning for their wrongdoings. Rich: What made Flatliners excep tionally notable, however, was not the plot nor the performances. It was the cinematography. Other, more “ re spected” critics than myself or Geoff dismissed the incredible sets and scenes and camerawork as some sort of two-hour-long music video. It just goes to show that the same people who are admonishing Hollywood for not doing anything original are the people who can’t accept a film in which some original work is actually done. Flatlin ers was visually dazzling and artisti cally haunting and even had a decent script with some interesting charac ters. The medical school that the stu dents attend is Gothic and dim with Faustian statuary everywhere. I ’ ll admit, for the first few minutes o f the movie, I was getting a little sick o f all the stonework, but I soon got used to the setting and began to enjoy it. A ll in all, I give Flatliners a plati num cross and a large, leatherbound edition o f Poe’s work. Geoff: Personally, I was relieved that finally a director had the guts to make a setting look very UNrealistic. Flatliners was supposedly set in Chi cago, but the city looked far different from the Chicago I know. This film is a mood film . It evokes a feeling rather than just trying to get the plotline across. From me, Flatliners receives a sixpiece wind ensemble, the nifty little shiny rock I found on the beach, and an Ionic column.

events o f this summer. For those of you who have never read this column before (i.e. the freshmen,) it began my freshman year on the fourth floor of Morgan Hall. Since then it has oozed out o f Morgan and spread out to cover a good portion o f the campus. Basi cally I talk about what’s on my mind, like next week I ’ ll probably talk about Benito Durgin, head of the ME depart

ment, and his summertime antics. I would also like to comment that I think I like Provost Apelian as he seems to be w illin g to challenge the whim and word o f Herr Strauss. Well, that seems to be all for this week. There is always more to talk about after a week in hell, and believe me I ’ll find something to say (I always do.)

The Wilderness Writer by A the na Demetry ' Class o f 1991 C lim b the mountains and get the ir good tidings. N ature's peace w ill flo w into you as sunshine flo w s into trees. The winds w ill blow the ir own fre s h ness into you, and the storms the ir energy, w hile cares w ill drop o ff like autumn leaves. - John Muir

A moss-covered oak rises out o f no discemable soil, but from the rock it self. The granite, in turn, is shaded by the ever-present live oak leaves and so boasts a healthy carpet of luxurient moss and showy-silver lichen. The meadow is golden in the heat and drought o f late August; the sign reads “ Van Wyck Meadow, Pop: 3 stellar jays,” but today the jays seem to prefer the cool, silent redwood forest to the buzz and whirr o f the sunspotted meadow. Descending into the forest, the sharp-eyed observer may find the single spot on the 2-mile trail where the migratory ladybugs have chosen to hibernate for the summer. It is easy just to walk under the reddish-brown leaves of a deadeni ng tree, but to detect that these leaves are alive and moving - are really clusters o f thousands of ladybugs, a shifting sheath o f red and black - is the tricky and exciting part. This meadow and redwood forest of M uir Woods, California, were my back yard this summer; the beaches o f San Francisco were my office. I worked three months for the National

Park Service at the Golden Gate Na tional Recreation Area, running the native plant nursery, where I propa gated and cared for native Californian plants that w ill be used to rebuild the dunes - restore the native habitat along a 3-mile stretch o f beach. It’s hard to believe that soon I ’ ll be back at ol’ Whoopie Tech in a depres sive grand-funk. suffering from my typical wildemess-withdrawal symp toms: a disinclination to do school work; compulsive reading o f the es says, prose, and poetry o f wilderness writers; and attempts at writing o f my own. So I thought, what better way to treat my symptoms than to write a weekly column for Newspeak, sharing my favorite writings. Thus, “ The Wilderness W riter” is bom. In this column I w ill try to bring to you some o f the beauty and excitement of the natural world beyond WPI beyond tales o f Daka woe or wedge-rat controversy or Boynton Hall-bashing. Since we can’t escape to the grand western wilderness very often, the next best way to experience its rejuvinating effects is to read about it. Setting aside Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County A lm a nac or Thoreau’s Walden after a tenminute read, you may find yourself with a clear mind and a peaceful out look, the world and your problems again in proper perspective. And as engineers in a world in which human resources must be shifted away from the military/industrial complex and toward restoring the health o f our Earth

if we are to survive, it is important that we become sensitive to the intricate ways Nature works. As Edward Ab bey wrote: The m oral I la b o r tow ard is that a landscape as splendid as that o f the C olorado Plateau can best be under stood and given human significance by poets who have the irfe et planted in the concrete - concrete data - and by scien tists whose heads and hearts have not lost the capacity f o r wonder. Any good poet, in our age at least, must begin w ith the scientific view o f the w o rld; an d any scientist w orth listening to must be something o f a poet, must possess the a b ility to communicate to the rest o f us his sense o f love and wonder at what his work discovers.

So, please read, enjoy, discover, and contemplate wilderness with me each week, and remember: We can never have enough o f na ture.

We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander. - Henry David Thoreau

WPI Health Update

___________ Welcome Class of 1994, Transfers and Upperclassmen by Jo A n n Van Dyke, R.N.

Now that you have arrived at WPI, unpacked and have begun to settle in, it ’s time to think about how you w ill change in the next four years. Certainly, academic growth w ill occur, hopefully leading to a rewarding career, letting go o f old friends, establishing new friendships, and opening doors to new opportunities. As you begin this new journey, I hope you take the time to think about what changes may occur in your health. For many students, college marks the begin ning of self-care. Up until now, you may have relied on your parents for the diagnosing and treatment o f all your illnesses, but now the responsibility is yours. Basically, as college students you make up one o f the healthiest segments o f society. However, many o f the health-related behaviors begun in college w ill become habits for the rest o f your life. How and what you eat, your exercise patterns, your use and abuse o f alcohol or other drugs, your sexual attitudes and prac tices, the contraceptive methods you choose, your use o f seatbelts (automobile accidents are the leading cause o f death among college stu dents,) and how you handle stress are all compo nents of well being and examples o f health issues you must face. You are young, and may have a sense o f invulnerability, which is fine (you should) but look ahead to the future too! Just as you are evaluating your course selec tion, you should consider your current health habits to see i f and how they might lead you to a goal of maximum health. View your health as something you can achieve, and please take advantage o f the programs and services avail able at the WPI health services and other offices on campus. The WPI Health Office, on Hackfeld Road in the bottom o f Stoddard C is open Monday through Friday from Ham until 5pm. JoAnn Van Dyke R.N..

Freshmen orientation this year took a new twist. Instead o f spending a week in June on campus with their parents, the class o f ’94 arrived Wednesday, August 22. The students arrived with their parents late Tuesday and Wednesday. Activities began almost immediately. Wednesday was the orien tation day for the parents, then they went home, leaving their son or daughter to become ac quainted with WPI. The Orientation program this year revolved heavily around the special opportunities that WPI provides. Many lectures were given by the faculty on a wide range o f topics. There were presentations about the different services of fered by WPI, such as the Major Selection program and M *A *S *H , to name a few. The orientation w ill continue until the first day o f classes. We would like to welcome the class o f ’94 to campus and wish them the best for their life at WPI.

W PI p r o fe s s o r (WPI News Service) NASA has selected a WPI professor as one o f four candidates for two payload specialists on the Space Shuttle STS-53 mission. The mission is scheduled to carry the U.S. Microgravity Laboratory-1 (U SM L-1) in March of 1992. Albert Sacco Jr., head o f the WPI Chemical Engineering Department, is one o f the candidates. Two o f the candidates w ill be selected for the flight and the other two w ill serve as backup crew members. The selection is expected to take place next March. The Microgravity Laboratory w ill be the first shuttle dedicated purely to microgravity science experiments, according to Sacco. “ This w ill be our showcase to the rest o f the world and an opportunity to perform important experiments, especially in microgravity,” he says. “ It w ill give us a better understanding o f catalysis and

zeolites and the potential to improve under standing of the zeolite growth process.” The laboratory is considered the centerpiece o f the United States’ efforts in materials proc essing in space. During the 13-day mission the crew w ill conduct more than 30 scientific and technological experiments in materials, fluids and biological processes in the spacelab envi ronment. As part o f the selection process Sacco spent a week at the Johnson Space Center in Houston for an extensive physical evaluation as well as a variety o f tests and interviews by an Investiga tive Working Group composed o f scientists and engineers. “ This is a dream come true. I ’ve worked with NASA in the past and the people are a dedicated group o f professionals,” he says. Sacco’ s re

search and teaching interests have concentrated on catalysis, solid-gas reactions, catalyst deacti vation, zeolites, carbon filaments, and materials processing in space. Sacco has headed up re search aimed at growing larger zeolite crystals in the microgravity o f space. Zeolites are highly structured inorganic materials composed o f aluminum, silicon and oxygen used in catalysis to generate either hydrocarbons, or they are used to separate and purify materials. On earth zeolite crystals are extremely small and difficult to grow. “ If we grow them large in space, there’s great potential for their use in the medi cal and chemical industries,” he says, “ espe cially in the purification and production o f gaso line, drugs and chemicals.” As a member o f the Clarkson University and Battelle Laboratories

Centers for the Commercial Development o f Space he is currently working on developing space-based zeolite crystal growth experiments which w ill be aboard USML-1. The other candidates selected along with Sacco are Law rence J. DeLucas o f the University o f Alabama at Birmingham, Eugene H. Trinh o f Jet Propul sion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and Joseph Prahl o f Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Sacco, originally from Belmont, Mass., earned his bachelor’s degree in chemical engi neering from Northeastern University and his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the Massa chusetts Institute o f Technology. While at M IT he worked on regenerative life support systems with NASA.

Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a good summer. I ’ve been busily planning the schedule for this year as well as putting finishing touches on the newly renovated darkroom. Joining the club gives you full access to the darkroom and to numerous trips, lectures and information sessions. For more information, visit out booth at the upcoming activities fair.

Welcome back to Worcester! The ISO was moderately active during the summer. On August 19, the Mayor o f Worcester declared India Day in recognition o f all the Indians in Worcester. There was a function at Holy Name High School organized by the India Society o f Worcester, where there was a booth by the ISO, for which thanks go to Aseem, Manish, Sushil, Ankur, and Vineet. There was Indian food and free medical screening available, besides dances put up by Indians in the Worcester area. We have also been picking up, with advance notice, Indian students arriving at the Worcester and Boston airports, for which thanks go to Ankur (the official ISO car chauffeur) and Narayanan for driving when necessary, and helping find apartments for new Indian graduate students. There were more new Indian students at WPI this year, so this is definitely going to be another fun year at WPI. We w ill resume our weekly activities as soon as possible, so keep in touch.

h o u s e (WPI News Service) The Aluminum Casting Research Laboratory (ACRL), which relocated from Drexel University in Philadelphia to WPI this summer, w ill host an Open House for members o f the WPI community on Friday, Aug. 31, beginning at 3:30 p.m. The press is cordially invited to view the newly renovated facilities and discuss ongoing research activities with the director, Satya Shivkumar, and with Provost Diran Apelian, who is closely associ ated w ith the laboratory. The ACR L is located in Washbum Laboratories, room 009. The ACRL, founded in 1988, is sponsored by a consortium of companies from the aluminum casting industry. Its purpose is to address scien tific and engineering problems associated with the production and use o f aluminum castings through a cooperative effort between industry and academia. The laboratory conducts stateof-the-art research on various aspects o f alumi num casting technology. The research staff at the laboratory includes a postdoctoral research associate, research engineers and graduate and undergraduate students. The membership of the ACRL unanimously decided to relocate the laboratory to WPI when Apelian and Shivkumar assumed the posts of provost and assistant professas, respectively, on July 1. The membership felt that the direction and guidance these individuals give to research projects is important to the success o f the overall program. The Open House w ill also give members o f the press the opportunity to meet inform ally with Apelian. There has been a significant growth in the use o f aluminum alloy castings over the last two decades, primarily because of expanding mar kets in aerospace, agricultural, automotive and m ilitary applications. Domestic production and sales o f aluminum castings has risen steadily and is projected to reach about $8.3 billion by the mid-1990s. Foreign competition, however, has resulted in a steady decline in the U.S. share o f the domestic market. A need exists for new tech nology and better efficiency with existing tech nology, notes Shivkumar.

Call 1800 654-0471 and you won’t have to wait till spring to get a break.

There’s nothing like a call to keep in touch with people you really care about. But there’s nothing like a lot of long distance calls to cut into a student’s budget. Which is why AT&T has a whole program of products and services called AT&T S tu d e n t S a ver Pius. It includes the AT&T R e a ch O u t ® A m erica P lan, which gives you savings 24 hours a day 7 days a week. For example, you'll get 25% off our already low evening prices:* You’ll even save when you call during the davtime.
