E m e rg e n c y c a re g ro u p c o m e s to W P I There is a new group on the W P I campus this fall. Under the direction of John J. Hanlon Jr.. W P I Public Safety Director, a group of volunteer students are providing emergency medical care lo the enter W P I community in the form of a first responder unit. The students are trained by Sgt. Seven Hill, and officer George Burnham, both of the W P I Police. Once in full operation, the students will provide 24 hour a day coverage.

The service was started as an Inter­ active Qualifying Project advised by Prof. Helen Vassallo. Three students, Kevin L'Heureux, Paul Sincaglia, and William Wong (all Massachusetts

E M T 's ) last year began looking into starting the unit, anil its practicality in the W P I area. This effort was coordi­ nated through the W P I Campus Police and the office of Health Services. It was decided that due to the decreased hours of Health Services, and the in­ creased responsibilities of the W P I Campus Police (the current providers) that a first responder unit was justifi­ able.

Work began last year to put the program in place. The three EM T 's rode on periodic shifts with the campus police to learn their existing proce­ dures. Also, meetings were held with the Department of Residential Life, the

Dean of Students office. Central Mas­ sachusetts E M S office, and the Busi­ ness Office at W P I. Over the summer, medical packs were ordered, bought by Health Services, and uniform jackets were purchased by the Campus Police for the unit. The E M S team is now providing periodic coverage, placing emphasis 011 weekends and evenings, times in the past that have shown the most need. They will also be present at large sporting events, and any other functions that may require their pres­ ence. It is hoped that by C term 24 hour coverage will be provided.

Training courses for interested stu­ dents are being offered starting at the

end of September. This training will be done by members of the E M S team, in accordance with state standards. The course will be about 30 hours long, and includes C P R . controlling bleeding, management of illnesses, and care for other medical emergencies. The team will also include Massachusetts certi­ fied EM T 's. The E M T 's training goes tor 140 hours and covers much more intensely the first responder material as well as detailed anatomy and physi­ ology, advanced care of shock, cardiac care, childbirth, handling motor ve­ hicle accidents and much more. These same E M T 's also work for ambulance and fire/rescue services, some for as

long as 6 years.

Once in full operation, W P I E M S will be dispatched day and night by Campus Police. The E M S crew and Campus Police will respond and deter­ mine if, in the event it has not already been called, an ambulance is needed.

At night, the crew will sleep oncampus in specially arranged sleeping quarters and will respond at any hourto medical emergencies. As a service to the W P I community, and to keep their own certifications up to date, they will pro­ vide courses in C PR and first aid. They also plan to help train the Resident Advisors and the Student Night Patrol in these fields.

by Christine C liff ton Newspeak S ta ff The position of Dean of Under­ graduate Studies, formerly held by Professor Grogan, was filled August I , 1990 by Professor Frank Lutz. After receiving his Ph.D. from New York University in 1971 and opening a con­ sulting firm in New Jersey, Professor Lutz came to W P I. Since 1972 he has been a professor in the Civil Engineer­ ing department, the Associate Dean of Projects, the Associate Dean of Under­ graduate Studies, and his current posi­

tion, the Dean of Undergraduate Stud­ ies.

The Dean of Undergraduate Studies “ assures the integrity" of academics for undergrads here at W P I — a "Champion of Undergraduate Stud­ ies.” He does this not by controlling the departments, but by addressing the other areas of academics, those that concern all faculty and all depart­ ments, like the IQ P and MQP. The Dean also helps out with both the admissions and registration processes.

The Dean plays an active role in the many academically focused groups

Open Houses for prosective freshmen scheduled

by Jo h n n a Coggin Associate D irector o f Adm issions The Office of Admissions w ill be sponsoring two open house programs for prospective students and their par­ ents this year. The programs are sched­ uled for Monday, October 8 and M on­ day, November 12.

These days are designed to give prospective students an opportunity to visit our campus and take a close look at what makes W P I such a unique and special place.

The activities will begin in Harring­ ton Auditorium with a presentation of The W P I Plan by Lance Schacterle, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, on October 8, and Francis Lutz, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, on November 12. Visitors will then have a student-conducted tour of the

campus. Following the tour, partici­ pants will select from various aca­ demic department presentations.

The program will also include a luncheon in Harrington Auditorium with music provided by the W P I Med­ win String Ensemble, under the direc­ tion of Douglas Weeks. Lunch will conclude with an Admissions and F i­ nancial Aid presentation.

The afternoon will consist of op­ tions to attend panels concerning stu­ dent life, cooperative education, career planning and placement and opportu­ nities for women at W P I. The Admissions Office is expecting about 600 students and parents at each program, so they will be very busy and informative days.

Anyone having questions regarding these programs should please contact Johnna Coggin.

Associate Director of Admissions.

The Winners...

and committees here at W P I. He sits in on faculty committees regarding aca­ demic policy, operations, and advis­ ing. He’s also a part of the academic council which develops strategic alter­ natives for the school, placing a strong emphasis on the years ahead. As a member of the executive staff, he works closely with the President. VicePresident. Student Body President, and others who will share information and views on the operations of W P I. Professor Lutz is working towards

specific goals that will enhance the academic environment of W PI. Along with the people he works with, they arc considering the possibility of reading days. These would be days in which no classes were scheduled to allow the students to reflect on the assignments more and actually gain a deeper under­ standing. A project which holds great importance and a bundle of engineer­ ing opportunities is the opening of the Project Center in Puerto Rico in which Prof. Lutz is actively involved. This

center would be the second one he's helped to establish as in 1974-75 he established the Washington D.C. cen­ ter. This new center will open the door to Latin and South America. Also currently underway are projects to promote women to attend W P I. The position of Dean of Under­ graduate Studies presents major re­ sponsibilities; however, it is clear that the position has been appropriately filled with someone having a sufficient background in the area.

A bit of advice from SMART/SADD

by Bria n O 'H a ra The absolute worst thing a person can do after drinking a few. other than passing out and not waking up. is grab his or her car keys and take on the road.

The second worst thing is to wander around a party (or campus) and make a walking hazard of oneself. I'm not only referring to stumbling, falling, passing out, or vomiting around other partygoers, but also to making a gen­ eral nuisance of oneself. This is often caused by making false assumptions and plain ignorance in terms of alcohol responsibility and awareness. Believe it or not. there is more to alcohol aware­ ness than being aware that it’s in front of you and that it’s relatively easy to obtain. I hope to illustrate some of this in the following story, some of which may sound familiar: A certain person who I ’ll identify as Joe Schmodecided to got to a party and got very plastered on a nigh-200 proof

punch. Joe had five or six 12 oz. cups of this mix.

Mistake Number I : Joe's limit was 5 beers — not cups of jet fuel, but beers. You're guaranteed to be rela­ tively safe and have more fun if you know your limit and stick with it.

Joe also figured he would pace the drinks so he could "ride the buzz."

Also a mistake: After about two hours he experienced rebound. You see. the effects of alcohol have many stages not just buzzed, drunk and passed out.

Not long after the buzz phase, a person will become agitated, which can lake on many forms. In Joe's case, he be­ came increasingly obnoxious, and at one point began to make loud com­ ments to some of the female partygo­ ers.

Four hours into the party. Joe no­ ticed he was getting more than a bit sloppy, so he tried to find ways to sober up quickly. He saw a pot of coffee that had not been emptied and put away.

The tradition continues F re s h m e n a n d S o p h o m o re s s q u a r e o f f o v e r th e p o n d The rivalry between the freshman and sophomore classes can trace its history back to the early days of W P I. In the past the rivalry has been com­ posed of many events. Over the years, however, most of these events were phased out leaving us with the paddle rush, rope pull and basketball game.

In an attempt to revive the competition between the classes, a more extensive schedule o f events has been planned forthe upcoming year. The class that is victorious can then rightfully engrave their class year upon the Goat's Head.

Homecoming holds the special significance as the kickoff for the rivalry. Because of this we would like to announce the first event, the rope pull, to be held one half hour after the football game in Institute Park.

Freshmen should contact Paul Wojciak at 831-7719 and sophomores should contact their class officers for organizational details. Hope to see you at the pond!

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Participants from a past rope poles learn it first hand.

Since he was too wasted to heat il in the microwave, he took an empty mug and poured himself some. This was Joe's thisrd mistake: One drunkard plus one cup o f coffee equals one wide awake drunkard. Nothing, I repeat, nothing makes a drunk sober except time. The same thing goes for the morning alter.

Joe was destined to make one more mistake that night. After being propo­ sitioned by him, one of the women told her boyfriend, who happened to be the host of the party. After awhile, he and a few of his friends found Joe. told him to leave, and offered him an escort home. His last mistake was this: He argued with them. He was carried to his apartment by four guys. Halfway there. Joe pulled a technicolor yawn and felt better.

Until the hangover came.

T o avoid being another Joe Schmo, follow the bits of advice in the story.

Y o u 'll still have a good time.

NEWSPEAK

Tuesday October 2,1990

NEW S International News Iraq was further isolated from the rest of the world last week, as its bor­ ders became even more sealed. The UN security council voted I4-I (with Cuba voting against) to impose an air embargo against Iraq, which would include all flights but those for “ hu­ manitarian” purposes. There still are some problems about the embargo that need to be worked out-mainly those that deal with civilian aircraft attempt­ ing to fly to Baghdad. Iranian officials arrested 29 people who were attempt­ ing to smuggle food into Iraq, which shows that Iran may be abiding by the UN resolution to end trade with Iraq.

The U S Navy stopped a ship bound for Iraq in the Red Sea by firing over its bow.

While the blockade was tightening, the rhetoric was increasing.

Last weekend, before the air embargo was imposed, Saddam Hussein threatened a wide scale war in the Mid East that would include Israel if the Western nations tried to "strangle” its citizens.

At the UN, French President Francois Mitterand denounced Saddam Hussein and his government. Bush said that there would be no negotiations with Iraq- and that they must pull out en­ tirely from Kuwait.

Hussein re­ sponded that Iraq was prepared to fight to retain Kuwait "for I.(KM) years.”

Hussein later added that an American conflict in the Mideast would be blood­ ier than Vietnam.

In Washington, Turkish leader Ozal said that he would support armed intervention in Iraq if the UN was to support such a measure.

In Baghdad, Iraqi officials de­ manded a list of all non diplomats stay­ ing in diplomatic missions. Secretary of State Baker claimed that Iraq was going to kill Americans and others who hid western hostages, although Iraq laterclaimed that the warning had been issued to their.citizens only. Iraq also ordered all former Kuwaiti citizens to apply for Iraqi citizenship.

The US is aiding its allies in the region- there is talk of an immediate sale of $7.5 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia, which would be the first part of a $20 billion plan. Turkey was re­ warded with greater economic and military assistance. On a side note, the World Bank issued a statement that said they might need more money to handle shocks from the gulf crisis.

South African President F. W . de Klerk visited Washington, and was the first South African leader in over 40 years to meet with a President of the United States. Bush praised de Klerk for his “ dramatic progress" in moving South Africa away from Apartheid.

During his three day trip, de Klerk said that he would support the system of one man, one vote if minority groups were guaranteed their rights. He also met with members of Congress and some businessmen to discuss the US role in leading South Africa from Apartheid.

Meanwhile in South Africa, police imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in an attempt to stop the fighting among blacks, although the A N C said its main intention was to create an appearance of calmness while de Klerk was in the US. Mandela’s wife was charged with kidnapping and assault that led to the death of a black youth in 1988.

After a lengthy debate, Gorbachev was given major new powers to lead the economy to one governed by mar­ ket forces. Gorbachev now has the right to issue decrees in just about every aspect of economic and social life until 1992- these include but are not limited to control over wages, prices and the financial system and government budget. The U S S R for­ mally adopted a law that prohibits the state from interfering with religion, and the first church service was held in the Kremlin in over 70 years. The service was led by Patriarch Alexi II of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has been controlled by the Communist Party.

There was a cease fire declared last Saturday in Liberia, and U S sponsored Peace talks have been scheduled in the neighboring country of Sierra Leone.

The cease fire appears to be holding, and U S Marines airlifted supplies to

the capital of Monrovia on Wednes­ day. Monrovia has been with out elec­ tricity, telephone service or running water for over three months.

Filipino President Corazon Aquino said that the she was satisfied with the U S proposal to gradually phase down the use of its Subic Bay Navy base in the Philippines. However, the next day. Communist rebels claimed that Aquino secretly had negotiated with the US to keep its military bases there in the years to come, and they ended a cease fire. Right wing government officials threatened a coup. On Thurs­ day, the Filipino Supreme Court con­ victed 16 and acquitted 20 people of taking part in the assassination attempt against Benigo Aquino, Corazon s husband. The convicted were fined $300,000 and sentenced to life in prison.

A law in India that reserved half of some government jobs for Hindus of lower castes was the source o f many problems in northern India last week.

On Tuesday, two people were killed and seven were injured in New Delhi.

On Wednesday, students rioted and refused Prime Minister Singh's pro­ posal for negotiation, and seven people were killed in 3 cities, as there was widespread rioting across northern India. On Thursday. 15 people died, included a Policeman, as rioting con­ tinued to spread.

East Germany formally pulled out of the Warsaw Pact, and will merge with West Germany on October 3.

Zambia's president agreed to end two decades of one party rule, and agreed to hold multiparty elections. In Portugal, the Marxist Angolan government be­ gan peace talks with the U S backed UN1TA rebels, led by Jonas Savimbi.

Mohawk Indians surrendered to Cana­ dian Police after an 11 week conflict involving a land dispute, because Canadian officials want to build a golf course on what the Mohawks say is sacred ancestral lands. Tens of thou­ sands gathered to see Algerian inde­ pendence leader Ben Bella return to Algiers. Algeria after nearly 10 years exile in Europe. He called for the governments resignation and urged Algerians to fight for Saddam Hussein.

National News The major news of the week on domestic affairs concerned the Budget summit. Congressional leaders must have reached an agreement by October I. or extended the deadline. Other­ wise. across the board cuts would take effect due to the Graham Rudman Hollings act.

Republican Senate leader Bob Dole said that he would support a higher income tax on the rich if there was a capital gains tax cut.

Capital gains are income derived from profit on investments.

Supreme Court Justice nominee Souter was approved by the Senate Judiciary committee by a vote of 13-1.

Massachusetts Senator Edward Ken­ nedy was the only Senator to vote against the nomination. The entire

Senate is going to vote on the nomina­ tion on October 3.

The Magellan spacecraft sent back pictures of Venus- and revealed that there was a massive crater and a solidi­ fied lava canal that was over 20 miles long.

Economic and Business News The stock market hit its lowest point in over 14 months, as it sank below the 2500 level. Borrowed stock, which is used to short stocks, is up 15c/< since July. Shorting a stock means that you borrow it and instantly sell it. Then you hope the price goes down so you can buy it back at a lower price. (Since you originally borrowed it, you have to buy it back eventually.)

Chase Manhattan cut back its divi­ dend. and announced that it would lay off 5.0(H) employees. It appears as if many banks are in trouble- Bank of Boston also cut its dividend, from 31 cents to 10 cents a share. Bank of Boston has the longest history of pay­ ing dividends, and has done so for over 200 years. Bank of Boston also an­ nounced it would lay off 1500 people.

M C A stock prices soared as there was talk it would be taken over by Matsushita, a Japanese conglomerate.

President Bush's son Neil, along with other officials of a failed Colo­ rado Savings and Loan, were sued for $200 million. Meanwhile, Lincoln Savings and Loan President Charles Keating remained in jail because the judge refused to lower a $5 million

Sports News The N F L season week 3 concluded.

The Giants overwhelmed the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Packers 17-3 and the New England Patriots were dominated by the Bengals, 4 1-7. In the locker room after the game, a Boston Herald reporter, Lisa Olsen, claimed that she was sexually harassed by several nude Patriots play­ ers. The incident has caused several people to question whether or not female reporters, or any reporters at all, should be allowed into the locker rooms.

Men’s X-Country remains undefeated

by D avid Cortese Dave Bcrlhiautne chalked up his second victory Saturday to lead the W P I CrossCountry Team to wins over Babson. Framingham State, and St. Josephs (M e.) The final score of the meet was W P I 30, Babson 38. St. Jo ­ sephs 70 and Framingham State 106.

Berthiaume dominated Babson's 5.0

mile course setting a new course record of 27:06 in route to his first place finish. Once again seniors prevailed as W P I's top finishers with Carl Benker finishing 5th and Mike Cummings following up in 6th place. Frosh Sean McFaul was Tech's next finisher coming in 8th while junior Dave C ortese rounded off the top five in 10th place. Jel l Levesque and Rob Douglas

followed up within a breath o fT e ch ’s top five and added outstanding depth to W P I’s first place finish.

The Men’s Cross Country Team now stands at 5-0 with their next battle slated against the city schools this Sat­ urday in Holden. The team remains ranked 8th in New England as of the most current polls.

W om en’s Cross Country continues to win

by Christine Cliffton Newspeak S ta ff Once again, the W P I Women's Cross-Country Team captured first place. Saturday, September 22. the xcountry team travelled to Babson Col­ lege where they competed against 4 other schools. W P I women won with 15 points, followed by Framingham State with 56 points and Babson C ol­ lege with 68 points. Worcester State and St. Joe's were the other teams; however, they didn't have enough

runners to complete a team and tally a score.

All 9 W P I runners were in the top 11 places with only 2 girls from Framing­ ham State breaking them up. O ffi­ cially. senior Maura Collins took first place w ith a time of 19:36. Finishing within three minutes of her was the rest ol the herd: Karen Daly, Jen Harmon, Kathy McKenna, Del Carraway. Kelly McQueeney. Chris Clifton, Athena Demetry, and Jen Do. Freshman Tracy Clifford was unable to attend because of Parents' Day. and Sue Daly is out

due to severe shin splints.

The three-mile course took the women through the woods. It was a pretty course, although the runners faced quite an incline in the last half mile. It was the first time this particular course had been used, but it was marked well so no one was lost.

This weekend the herd is here in Worcester running against the other city teams. It should prove a challeng­ ing meet as W P I has never beaten Holy Cross.

W P I w o m en ’s field h ock ey team fights for possession against F ra m in g h a m Sta te last T u e s d a y night.

After a whole day of lectures on parents day about the excellence o f the school, it was the football team’s turn to show their stuff. Even if you just looked at last week's Newspeak. you already know that they did it in dra­ matic fashion, coming from behind to win 17-14. The game was won on the last play of the game, a 22 yard field goal by Chris Burke.

Coming into the game, the Engi­ neers had a 2-0 record and were ranked third in the northeast. Their opponent was the Coast Guard Academy, who had a l -1record. Last year, W P I lost to the Coast Guard away in a high scoring game. One of the reasons they lost was that they missed a number of field goals.

This time it was a defensive battle, even though both teams moved the ball well. W P I gained 281 yards and the Coast Guard 395 yards. The Bears played a very one-sided game: they

ran. In fact, during the whole game they did not complete a single pass in theirsix attempts, and were intercepted twice. W P I had a very balanced attack: 45 rushes and 39 passing attempts.

The first half saw the Bears score first on a twenty-five yard touchdown run by Cook. W P I countered on the next drive with a one yard touchdown pass from Ceppetelli to Padulla. After that W P I had one good scoring chance when Joaquin intercepted a pass on Coast Guard's 32 yardline. On the next play, however, the Bears intercepted Ceppetelli's throw. Coast Guard did not score again in the half. Going into the half W P I had a problem: they had been able to stop the Bears only twice on downs. They had capitalized on three fumbles and an interception to stop the Bears effective running game.

On the first play of the second half after receiving the ball. Kevin Talley of the Bears ran 90 yards for a touch­ down. After that W P I was not able to get any further than the Coast Guard's

40 yard line, until they scored with 5 minutes remaining in the game on another touchdown pass from Ceppetelli, caught by Wooley. During the second half the Bears threatened twice but each time the fumbled and lost the ball. With l:55 to play, W P I got the ball back but was unable todoanything with it. so we had to punt. Coast Guard decided to go for the win with 55 sec­ onds remaining. Their first pass was intercepted by Randy Plasse. Now W P I was at their own 37 yard line with 39 seconds to play. In five plays they got to the Bears' five yard line and Burke kicked a 22 yard field goal with no lime remaining. The final score was W P I 17, Coast Guard 14. W P I’s Dave Ceppetelli completed 14 passes for 174 yards and was intercepted twice.

Paul M iller caught 7 passes for l K) yards. Rushing, Tony Padulla and Jason Wooley gained 180 yards. Je ff Joaquin and Jim Constantine also had excellent games, recording 18 and 12 tackles respectively.

TKE/Phi Sigma Sigma bedsheet volleyball tournament comes to WPI The upcoming bedsheet volleyball tournament, created and organized by Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Sigma Sigma, is bringing together the W P I community for a fun and charitable event. The two day tournament is designed to stress fun and contribution, with the benefits going to the National Kidney Foundation and the Special Olympics. Bedsheet volleyball is an easy and enjoyable variation on vol­ leyball. It uses bedsheets covering the nets so that the two teams cannot see each other. Little volleyball skill is required to be competitive, the empha­ sis during the game is having fun.

The tournament is to be held on Wednesday, October 10th and Thurs­ day. October I I th in Harrington Audi­

torium and Alumni Gym. On Wednes­ day, the tournament will last all day in both Harrington and Alumni gym. The playoffs will be held on Thursday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Alumni Gym. Teams from many groups w ill be par­ ticipating. Mainly, the field consists of 1 or 2 teams from each fraternity and sorority, and freshman teams. There will be a table in the Wedge on October I st and 2nd ( Monday and Tuesday) for anyone wishing to sign up on a team.

Approximately 30-32 teams will be participating, consisting of 6-10 play­ ers each. They will be competing for a $ 100 first prize and plaques or medals.

This will be a great opportunity to meet new people and socialize. Everyone is encouraged to come to watch, cheer

the teams on or just hang out.

This is the first time an event like this has been held at W P I. and thanks to the efforts of Phi Sigma Sigma and Tau Kappa Epsilon, and the support of W P I Greeks and local sponsors, it will be a successful and lun charity event. A l­ though the event is strongly supported by fraternities and sororities, theessential element to its success is participa­ tion from the rest of the student body, especially the freshman classs. Sign up and play or just come and watch, it will be fun. This is a great opportunity lor the W P I community to unite for an enjoyable and charitable event. It will be an ideal lime for freshmen to meet and participate with others in the W P I student body.

F r e s h m a n C la s s C a n d id a t e s President

President Fellow members of the class of 1994. My name is John Coyle and I am running for the office of" Class President. There are several reasons why I have entered the election. I feel that I am not only qualified to serve as presi­ dent but that I have the proper attitude to fill the position.

M y decision to run for president is based on the “ right” reasons. I want to be president because I feel it is the best way for me to get involved and serve my class. W e all know from high school how important it is to get involved. The idea of “ drifting" through four or five years at W P I is not appealing to me at all. To me, being involved means more than just participating in everyday events on cam­ pus. It means making them happen. And I feel confident that I can keep making things hap­ pen for our class at W P I. M y experiences in high school qualify me to serve as president. Having been involved in Student Council and numerous advisory com­ mittees is an example of my qualifications, but it takes more than that. To be an effective

leader it is necessary to be a well rounded individual. Ability to communicate effec­ tively is of key importance. Also important arc the skills gained outside of the classroom.

Playing a sport, which for me has meant soc­ cer, is an educational experience perhaps more valuable for the high school curricula itself.

The ability to be a team player as well as the development of new skills and the physical person is very important for someone in a leadership role.

As a candidate for Class President I am making no bogus promises. All of us fresh­ men have only been here a short time and I will not pretend to know the needs of our class well enough. If elected I of course promise toserve to the best of my abilities. But I also promise to be open and receptive to concerns, com­ plaints. ideas, and suggestions. In this I will fulfill the often forgotten responsibility of leaders in our society: to represent the popu­ lous as well as to lead it.

Thank you.

John Coyle

Forthe rest of you whom I have not yet met.

I have qualifications which may be beneficial to our class, not to mention I'm a really great guy. When in high school I held a class office and was an active member in most of the committees throughout the year. I attended Montana Boy's State where I learned valuable leadership skills, one o f which was listening. I intend on using these skills to the fullest of my ability if elected. I am currently a member of the Residence Hall Council. I already have a few ideas to work on and I'm looking for more.

G'day mates.

B y now most of you may have seen me wandering around in your residence halls. For those of you who haven't, you will. M y name is nice and easy to remember, two first names, and I'm running for the position of Freshman Class President.

I believe it's important for each member of the Class to talk with the candidates on a one to one basis, asking questions and relating ideas.

Each of the candidates for all the offices should be put on the spot. Ask questions that will help you decide which candidate is the best for the position.

As I walk about the hallways talking to people. I encourage them to ask me questions.

It's the only way I know to find out what the class as a whole is thinking. I'm also finding out what issues are important. A president who doesn't know what the majority wants can't do diddley.

Now it’s time to tell you a little about myself. W ell, first. I'm from Montana, not the

President The office of Class President is a somewhat mportant position to hold. Therefore, when ^ou vote, you should weigh the decision care'ully. I hope I can convince you that I am the 5est person for the job.

My name is Doug Wright and I am running or President of the Class of ’94. I have had eadershipexperience in high school as the Vice

Class Representative Greetings class of '94. my name is Dan Beauregard and I am running for Class Rep­ resentative. I feel that I am will qualified to act as a liaison between my class and student government. I know I can communicate certain tasks effectively and get the job done.

So who am I and why should you vote for me? W ell, in high school I was President of the Honor Society and Captain o f the tennis team. I was also involved in many other outside activities. Getting involved is very important in college life, and I feel I have the knowledge to accept the position of Class Representative.

In high school, people ran for class offi­ cers because it looked "great" on college ap­ plications. But in college it’s different, there are many other responsibilities. Being Class Representative, for me, is a way to get in­ volved in school politics, as well as a way to get involved with my classmates. A repre­ sentative must represent his class in a way that will help the class and not oneself. He must be willing to listen to his classmates and not leave decisions untouched. He must not turn his back on his fellow students or leave them in the cold. I know we’ve only been here a little over a month, and I probably know no more than you. But, if you vote for me, I promise to follow the guidelines set, and to work with you, the Class of ’94, and try to represent “ us” as best as possible.

Thank you.

Class Representative Hello, fellow members of the freshman class, I would like to introduce myself. I am Stephen Foskett, an M E major living on Riley I st, and I am running forthe position of Freshman Class Representative. I will start by telling you all of my interpretation of the duties of this position. I see the job of the Class Representative as that of a middleman between the Executive Council and the stu­ dents. He should know of and impartially report the activities and attitudes of his class to the Council. Following meetings, the Representative should inform the class of the decisions which would affect them.

How will I do this? I plan to regularly write articles for Newspeak to tell the class of any information which they may need to know. To better serve and understand the class, I will run my box and phone numbers and request opinions from members of the class. Any concerns which they tell me of would then be passed on to the Council.

I believe that I am the right person for this position. I will serve the class to the best of my ability and I am eager to become more involved with the operation of the class.

Thank you.

Stephen Foskett

Treasurer

Vice President Greetings Class of '94!!

My name is Tracey Clifford and I will be running for the office of Vice President in this fall’s Freshman elections.

Like many others on campus. I ’m alsoeager to become an integral part of the W P I commu­ nity. I was very involved in my high school and have started to become involved here, by being an active member of the Residence Hall Coun­ cil and Cross-Country. I've had prior experi­ ence with leadership roles, such as a member of Student Body, class representative, board on a service organization, and most important to me, my school’s Cross-Country Captain.

I feel I ’ve been able to manage my time well in the past with a part time job. athletics, aca­ demics, and social functions. I ’m very com­ fortable with this school (academics, athletics.

L is t o f F r e s h m a n C a n d id a t e s President: John Coyle Shawn Pete Douglas Wright Vice President: Tracey Clifford Laurence Bell Secretary: Mary Auger Treasurer: Adelbert (Pat) Custodio Richard J. Fuller Michelle Giglio Class Representative: Steven Foskett Daniel Beauregard

Elections are on October 4th and 5th near the Daniel’s Ticket Window from 10am to 3pm

and social) and feel I have enough time and energy to fulfill my duties as Vice President.

I feel one of the most important needs for our class, now that we are settled, is to estab­ lish a presence on campus. I'm getting really psyched for Homecoming Weekend (the R O P E P U L L ) as well as all the other Freshman-Sophomore Rivalry events, because this class has a lot of psych! (A good example of our enthusiasm is sitting in on one of Beall’s lectures forC H IO IO .)

So. let’s get psyched for the time of our lives and remember to vole for Tracey C lif­ ford for Vice President - and let's get things done and make the best of the year ahead!

Tracey Clifford Vice Presidential Candidate

STO P! You should have only one thing on your mind right now. T H IN K ! Freshman class elections are right around the corner.

C H O O SE! You must elect the best freshman for each office A C T ! Go to the elections and cast your vote for the best freshman in each office.

M y name is Rich Fuller, candidate for Freshman Class Treasurer. The main reason I decided to run for office is that I want to be involved in school politics. I am serious about this election and I hope that you are as well.

When l think of the office of Treasurer. I think of someone who keeps track of funds.

They must also be contribute to the raising of these funds.

I believe that I am well qualified to assume the role of your Treasurer. I have held this office for various high school clubs. I want to take this time to tell you about the one that was

most important to me.

At the beginning of my junior year in high school I made a commitment to be Treasurer of my International Club. The idea of the club was to plan a trip and raise money so it would be as cheap as possible. I helped to plan two concerts that raised over $ 18,000 for a group of 12 students. Imagine what we can do as club with members counting 600 strong.

I really enjoyed raising this money. Now all I need from you is your support so I can try again and this time go all out. There is no reason why we can not do some major fund raising and plan a spectacular end of year event.

I hope that you think that I will be the best student for this office. Whether you want me as your treasurer or not. you should still vote, so that your choice is not made for you by others.

LETTERS / COMMENTARY

G o m p e i’s h e rita g e w ill re m a in in ta c t To the Editor: I just saw your letter to the Editor in Newspeak and wanted toclear up what may be a misconception.

The renovation of Gompei's pri­ marily has to do with the back rooms (i.e. the rooms that now house two pool tables, the walk-in cooler, and the office). The renovations for these two rooms arc somewhat extensive; new flooring, paint, new furniture, new lighting and artwork.

I sense that you are more concerned with what we (i.e. administration) refer to as the front room - that part of Gompei’s most often used by SocComm, M W Rep. etc.. In discussions with the designer for D A K A , it was agreed that the place needed brighten­ ing up - but not at the expense of the facility's heritage. This posed a chal­ lenge for her and influenced the colors and materials she worked with in the design for the back rooms. The crux of

the situation was to develop a back room area that was inviting and excit­ ing. while at the same time keeping it within a framework that would not clash too much with a relatively un­ touched front room. There needed to be a flow from one room to the other, and yet not alter the front room a great deal.

So, what is planned for the front room is: 1. A new coat of paint - a little whiter than the existing coat.

2. New, panic bar security doors these hopefully could be made from wood to match the existing paneling.

3. Remove the bar - the front room bar would be moved to the Harrington concession area thereby opening up more floor space.

4. New tables and chairs - COMF O R T A B L E c h a irs with arms that you wouldn’t mind sitting in for 90 min­ utes. Enough seating and tables for I04. (Much talk has gone into the

Students should not listen to advice To the Editor: I would like to express a bit of comment concerning W illia m Katzman’s letter which in effect told the freshmen that, “ they will soon know what homework they can get away with not doing.-' This attitude bothers me. and I assume thal most freshmen will ignore Katzman's socalled advice. However, for those freshmen who actually bothered to waste their time reading the end of this letter, I want you to know that his “ advice" is completely off the mark. I will agree that some assignments are not completely necessary in the form of material that will be tested, but let's face it; W P I professors are some of the best in the nation, and if you don't think that this is true, just talk to people who go to other colleges. Professors give

selection of these because of the con­ sideration for the history of the facil­ ity).

To the Editor: Picture this. You are in a movie theater waiting to see the film that you have been wanting to see for months.

Then through a series of events, you are prohibited from seeing that film.

For those o f you who do not know, this is what happened last Tuesday. A lle­ gro Non Troppo only lasted twenty minutes instead of the full ninety min­ utes. The reason involved was a simple one. That print of the film was of poor quality; it was old and dirty. Combine that with with the amount of stress that a projector puts on the film, and what

do you get? Broken film.

I would like to thank the people who showed up and saw reel one of Allegro Non Troppo. It seemed like it was going to be one outstanding film.

Second, whenever something goes wrong with the film just remember that it just might be film’s fault. Exceptions are on cross-overs when human errors could be involved. These errors in­ clude the film being out of focus, the top of the picture being at the bottom, and vice versa. But be patient with all difficulties. Yes, Y E S , scream and laugh at the film, besides it’s fun.

Lastly, I am trying to see if I can get Allegro Non Troppo for B-term, but this time on videocassette. Knowing my luck, the V C R w ill chew up the tape and spit it back out at me. So look for it. If I can not get it, S O R R Y . Just for the record, 1did not have to pay for last weeks rental.

In the meantime, enjoy all events brought on to campus by all groups, including SocComm.

Othello is a dark-skinned character, but if this is the reason why the actor’s race was cited, Currin should also have labeled the others as “ white actor,” “ female actor,” etc., according to their personal characteristics and those of the characters they played. It is a standard in professional journalism to refrain from labeling the ethnicity or race of a particular person unless there

If you freshmen begin your college careers intelligently, that is by going to all classes and doing all assignments, you will train yourself to work hard and to always strive to do your best. This is important, because you don’t suddenly enter into a career as an engineer, law­ yer, physician or teacher and suddenly possess confidence and the ability to work hard. These are characteristics that you leam either before or during college, not once you have a job! If you fall into lazy habits now, you may end up carrying them with you during your career, and at that point it will be diffi­ cult or impossible to change.

ture on Monday. Tres bon! Magnifique! Wunderbar! ( I ’d keep going but those are all the foreign exclamations I know.)

As in all large college lectures, there are always those people who are chronically late (Hey Craig, sound familiar?), particularly loud or just damned inconsiderate. Such is the case with one of the guys (other than Craig) in my 10 am differential equations class. In two instances, which I have noted mentally, he has come in late and let the Kinnicutt Hall doors slam shut with their patented “ death rattle” (which just happens to be Prof. Davis' pet peeve) and once after finishing our first test in just 20 minutes, he, then standing in the second row, hurdled over the front row seats in order to pass in the test. He, of course, managed to do this with absolutely no grace what­ soever and end it with a resounded thud which distracted the entire class. Just what we need, a distraction during a diffcq’s test. It's bad enough that this guy will probably blow the curve any­ way. W ell, on Monday he happened to be late again, and of course he let the door slam. W h y be inconsistent? The 1st two rows of the lecture hall were pretty packed with the exception of 2 or 3 seats in the middle of the second row.

To him this was no big deal, but he just had to sit in his usual second row seat

(directly behind Bob Uecker). As Prof.

Davis began his lecture, this student informed two others that they were going to lean in opposite directions (as if they were polarized or something) so he could jump over them and into his seat. He added a little Moses-like mannerism (parting the water, ya know) and proceeded to do his best Edwin Moses imitation over the two victims who were paralyzed by the fear of being kicked in the head by this knave. Prof. Davis, upon seeing this tactless display of idiocy, confronted our hurdler-friend and asked if he was comfortable. The student, who was rummaging through his back pack said yes and produced a few sheets of paper.

The papers were his homework which he gave to Prof. Davis upon his request.

Being just a little more than annoyed by this scene, (get your Johnny Most voice ready) crumpled it up, made an amazing move and head fake, spun around, and from 22 feet out sank a perfect swish. A ll net, no doubt. I loved it. 1 would have given Prof.

Davis a high five but I didn’t want to interrupt class.

Thank you. Prof.

Davis, for that, oh so poetic, touch of class.

And for the low, low price of $ 19.95 you toocan bitch, moan, and complain.

Just send cash, check or money order to Matt Meyer, box 1589.

Having partied the night before when I shouldn’t have, still suffering from se­ vere shin splints, and quietly bearing the indig­ nity of falling from number one runner to the back of the pack in the space of four months, I would sooner have stayed in bed that morning.

But once done with that 3.1 miles, I was so glad I had come. This course approached the joy of a true cross-country course, not on walkways and tracks, but among woods, over stumps, through mud.

you'd think that placing twelfth instead of first, you should feel that you haven't worked so hard, but it doesn't seem to work that way. The tiredness and pain is still the same, but instead of the trees frantically whipping by you as you stride past them at a frenzied pace, you have a bit more time to notice the ferns by the trailside. to wonder what kind of perky orange flower it is that's cheering you on, and maybe, for a pre­ cious, stolen breath or two, to breathe-in deep the rank, woodsy, balsam smell of fall. Maybe for one or two races you even have the perfect fall day. with a crisp breeze that seems to blow right through the autumn leaves and leech some of their orange, yellow, and red hues through to the air. coloring it the very essence of fall.

Even though I'm not a superstar any more. 1 still find that there’s something about running that has me hooked. Since I enjoy track work­ outs very little (right, Coach?), it is obviously much more than the physical act of running that’s in my blood. Rising at five-forty-five, running six miles, and still making it to an eight o’clock class may sound crazy, as it does to me now, but for two years I followed that schedule

by Alton Reich W ell it’s another week that I ’ve survived, but I ’m dead tired. It all started on Monday night and I haven’t caught up yet.

9:30 Monday night Beth decides she isn’t feeling well, so it’s off to the hospital. I will admit that 9:30 was a good time to pick on her part. If she had not felt well at say, 2:30 am, she might have been going alone. W ell, we get there and the doctor pokes, prods, and finally hooks her up to a monitor. About 11:00 he decides she is having contractions when she shouldn’t be.

W e chat and the decision is reached to give Beth some drugs to suppress the contractions for a few weeks. Nothing significant yet, just another night in my life, right?

Beth asks the doctor about side effects, and he tells her that the medicine (actually I think that it might be an artificially produced hormone) will make her jittery and irritable.

Quoth Alton: Irritable, thanks doc. W hy don’t you just cut my he^rt out with a spoon and get it over with quick. The doctor turned out to be a real nice guy, though. I had a chance to chat with him when Beth sent me out to get her some water

at about 11:45. He and the resident were sitting around watching the football game (they even knew that the Bills were winning). The first thing I thought was, “ Don’t you two have any babies to deliver?!’’ Well, anyway, we chatted for a few minutes, and at about midnight we went home.

The point of all this is that if you’ve ever dealt with a pregnant woman you know that they are nothing if not a little round and very touchy.

Now Beth was these; plus irritable. It’s a won­ der that I ’ve gotten any sleep this week at all.

Normally she cleans when she’s upset, but I won’t let her. Three guesses what I ’ve been doing the past few days. Five more weeks of this, and I ’ll be out mopping the sidewalk.

W ell Wednesday was Lamaze night again, and I learned something new. Ever notice that pregnant women spend a great deal of time in the bathroom. I now know why. The instructor showed us full color cut-away drawings of my wife, and the bladder is squashed flatter than a McDonald’s pancake (as opposed to the light, fluffy ones your grandmother makes). See you next week (if I survive another week with Atillathe-Hunny).

religiously. I needed that run to set the course of my day - remember meetings to go to. home­ work that must be done, problems to solve: I even composed many a paper while running past the mist of Indian Lake. Running the same route daily. I saw the small changes o f the neighborhoods, taking delight when a hedge was trimmed or noting the succession of roses to bloom, tracking the progress of all the gardens on my path. Spring runs are especially fun. as you watch the hint of buds first emerge as fuzzyred tips, then the palest of green, turning to a deeper, lacy fringe, and finally at some unde­ tectable point, you'd say, "Yes! The leaves are out!" And then there were those moments when my mind was clear of all thoughts - no cars nearby, Indian Lake mirror-smooth with a wispy touch of mist a foot above its surface, one green, sculpted pine standing on a little penin­ sula, alone against the sky, and that sky - soft pink diffusing through the chill air and illumi­ nating the lake, seeping into your pores, bring­ ing everything intoa sharp focus in youreye and your mind so that you just say "yes. this is it” to that one moment and everything is right. And then the "huff-puff' starts again as you labor over Indian Hill.

Back from the run. you're tired, breathing hard, but that blood is pumping and you're awake and alive, with a full, wonderful day ahead of you in glorious perspective. That’s the beauty of the morning run, if you can just get out of bed, which I can’t seem to do any more at the ripe age of twenty-one. But how worth it it is!

And when you’re in shape, there's the added bonus of feeling like you could run through those trees at break-neck speed forever. You're long, lean, strong - all legs and power, muscle and bone - nothing extra, just pure power, your whole body focused on economy of motion and smoothness -to run smooth, light, and effortless

through the woods.

Hanging on to O 'Rork these past two miles had been possible through a dreary combina­ tion o f w ill power and wishful thinking. Coast, you bastard. Cassidy told himself. Then he put his mind into neutral, locked onto the freckled shoulder and obtained his mental abstracts: gliding, floating, covering ground...He even thought o f tossing it in. not an unusual senti­ ment, hut knew it wouldn't happen (John Parker).

I've lost that purely strong, physical, powerfeeling for now; the running is more laborious as I struggle to get back into shape. But I ’m still hooked and hope to get back to strong, solitary morning runs. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the trails and the roads at a more leisurely pace and having fun jiving at practice with you totally cool people in the Herd! (Hey Herd, remember "The Herd Goes Hawaiian” this Friday and wear your grass skirts and madras!)

Cassidy raced along toa niglil rhythm, pocketa pocketa. a steady tatoo o f pleasant solitary effort which starred him under many street lights, rendered him anonymous in dark neigh­ borhoods, sent him smoothly up and down the gentle hills of Kernsville while dogs howled and Mom and Pop passed the maslied potatoes.

W hile a passerby might have thought him in a trance, he missed nothing in his darkling backdrop: the smells of winter blooming flow­ ers. clean coolness of blackjack oak. damp pepper of Spanish moss. The sounds were of early evening video madness, dinner.children’s squabbles. He was a shaded meteor plumbing a twinkling universe. The night made even more acute the runner's senses, lent more poignancy to his aloneness. made his pace seem even faster, generated an urgency, a subdued excite­ ment in the act of solitary motion.

P a r e n t's D a y

by Jo g e r Well, Parent’s Day has passed, and home­ coming is, well, coming. But really, what are the importance of these events?

Well, Parent’s Day, as the name might give away, is for the parents to come and check out just what happens to their children after they get sent away to this W P I place. But I have a couple of complaints with it. First of all, it is much too soon after the students get here. It’s barely been a month, and here come the parents, trudging to see their kids. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.

I suppose there are the kids out there who look forward to seeing their parents, and vice-versa, but if either party is that sick to see their family, they would have been home by now for a visit anyway, ‘cause I kinda think that only the stu­ dents who live close-by will have parents show up anyway. I wonder just how many non-New England parents came by. 1 personally would not think it worth the trip otherwise.

On the other hand 1have also heard of parents who don’t live that far, who just blow off their kid outright. One girl 1know of, although not on this campus, her parents said that they weren’t going to go just because they wanted to go to a son’s soccer game (which they can go to any

J

other week) and that they wanted to spend some time alone. Harsh. Very Harsh. Cruel even.

Why not tell her they couldn't care less and get it over with. She's a Freshman, and I think it is worthwhile, despite what I ’ve said previous, for parents to show up the first year. I could go on forever about what I think about parents who don’t care, but not today.

1like the events that go on, though. It livens up things around here a bit. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to be around for them this year, which I was upset about because I wanted to go see DO AH . but couldn’t.

I hear it was excellent.and I also hear that the Chinese Magic Review was good. too. I always miss the good stuff.

I find it interesting that everything is free on Parent’s Day weekend, though. I guess the logic is that they pay more than enough every year to warrant free events on their weekend. I ’m suspicious, however, that Strauss doesn’t like it, and cringes just at the thought of free events.

But that's just his way I guess. Just because H IS kids wouldn't have to pay for an education here.

He also warrants a whole separate column, or is he even worth talking about? Oh well. I think I've gone on without a real purpose long enough, so I'll adjourn.

Class dismissed.

AIDS: Common Sense vs. Common Dollars

by Thomas A. Pane In the last eight years or so. the health issue that has received the most attention has been A ID S. Every time you pick up a paper or watch the news, there wi 11be a piece concerning A ID S .

Gay activists frequently claim that not enough money is being spent on research. Due to the nature of A ID S , I understand their concern, but I must let these groups know that they are mis­ taken. To put it bluntly, not enough effort is being spent on A ID S prevention. As scientifi­ cally oriented people, W P I students know that it is far easier to prevent a disease than it is to go into the lab and sweat out a cure.

I recently discussed A ID S with Dr. Bentivenga, an ophthalmologist in my home town.

He told me that,” ...a cure is in the far future if it will be found at all. Since w e’re dealing with a shifting virus, there may be no cure.” The only way to stop A ID S is to stop its spread, not to wait eagerly fora miracle cure. Thanks to the former U S Surgeon General, we know how to prevent A ID S. ( I ’m not going to preach, so if you want a condom speech go find one)

Now that A ID S has come forth as a recog­ nized disease, anyone who contracts it has himself to blame, with four exceptions: I) Babies born to infected mothers, 2) People who have been infected as a result of a medical acci­ dent (transfusion, needle stick, etc.), 3) Hus­ bands/wives who contract the virus from a sup­ posedly monogamous spouse, and 4) Victims of infected rapists People sharing “ clean” needles, or having unsafe sex with anyone, are at risk. Putting yourself “ at risk” too often w ill eventually wind up becoming H IV positive, because lots of car­ riers don’t even know that they’re infected, so they can’t protect you. You’ve got to protect yourself. Infected people often look up after hearing their positive test result and experience the phenomenon known as “ 20/20 Hindsight” .

College students are labelled as a “ high risk” A ID S category, for obvious reasons. Ignorance and unsafe sex may place the average college student at a higher than normal risk, but at W P I this should not be the case. A ll it takes is the utilization of a fraction of the good sense it takes to get into this school to graduate with a degree rather than a death certificate.

Committee of Concerned Students Greetings. What a productive meeting we had. For starters, guest speaker Brian Beaure­ gard spoke to us about the possible changes in the layout of the bookstore. Are these changes really necessary?!? Must all of the conven­ ience items be moved to the back right hand corner of the store? What will these changes accomplish? Brian is the student representa­ tive on the Bookstore Committee and is open to all student input.

Here are some more highlights from our last meeting: - exploring the possibilities of instituting a credit/charge system for the bookstore - Gompei’s Place serving alcohol to alumni - could this be a possible stepping stone?

- set of guidelines mixing old and new traditions for showing the Goat’s Head (re­ quested by the Alumni Office) - school dance (great idea!)

F Y I: The Student Government/SAB/ Panhel/IFC Office has been renamed the Stu­ dent Organizations Office (SOO ).

Did you know that books sold at the W P I bookstore are actually (pennies) cheaper than the same books sold at the student run M IT bookstore?!?

If you are interested in joining CCS. come to meeting. It’s that simple. Meeting are held every Thursday at 8:30 pm in the SOO. If you have any suggestions, there will be a sugges­ tion box in the SO O or you can address them to Student Government/CCS and put them in the mail drop.

The major topic of discussion for this week’s meeting will be the snackbar reloca­ tion. ‘Til then...

M en’s Bowling Club Hello, and welcome to another inane club comer of the M en’s Bowling Club! (clap, clap) Thank you.

First up, Russ and I w ill be going to W N E C on Sunday. (B y the time you read this, how­ ever, it will have already happened). W e will find out the schedule at this meeting and I'll write it in here next week.

Second, practice! The gods look favorably upon people who practice often.

The Killer C 's are champs now, but for how long?

Dino asked for another Joke of the week, so here it is: What did the pool hustler do when, on a crucial shot, a mosquito bit him? He scratched!

See you next week... JD .

M en ’s C rew Team W ell, we're off to a good start. W e currently have over forty new novice rowers and two varsity 8 boats. Novices... keep up the good work and food luck in your first race at the Head of the Connecticut ihie Sunday. Varsity crew dogs... well you know... it's time to send those purple Crusaders led by. no one in par­ ticular. back home. So let's beat 'em up. eat 'em up. ?#$(a>! 'em up. Y E A H ! Hey Bung, you’ve just got to learn not to stop at the half slids. Once engaged in a full stroke, get in the rythm and go all the way!

To the entire W P I community - make plans now to go to the Head of the Charles on Sunday.

Oct 2 1. One quarter of a million people show up every year to witness this spectacular event.

This race occurs over fall break and it promises to be a great time with thousand of college students roaming the banks of Boston's Char­ les River. Be there. W e need your support.

M en ’s Cilee Club Yes, here it is. the 2nd installment of W P IM G C Club Corner for the year. Amaz­ ingly enough, those of us who have been around a little know that it has been quite a while since w e’ve had two consecutive W P IM G C C C ’s. Hopefully, this will change.

Good show at Parent's Day, folks. I ’m not sure if the sound was ‘luscious,’ but it certainly was acceptable. This was our first concert, and it went well. Jordass. your energetic conduct­ ing is always a sight to behold. I think we really woke them up with that ear-splitting version of “ Long Bri..." (oops) "Long Worcester."

Moses, the stage directing went without a hitch, and special thanks to Abdow for filling in while Moses was out. The ties and tails looked real good. Try to keep them that way.

Hanging your tails up on a hanger is a good way lo maintain their neatness. Using them to wipe daka slop off your shirt is not... G E T T H E P IC T U R E ?

The Walking Wounded award for the con­ cert goes to Marty, and a Lifetime Achieve­ ment Award for the same thing goes to Shaggy.

I think I did forget some new members last week. Sorry, Jason. I owe you a guest appear­ ance in a subsequent Corner.

O f note. Speedy seems to be trying to live up to his nickname.

No more stupid stuff to say. so it's T R IV IA T IM E : 1. For a Slim Whitman C D - Who was Janet Earle's husband? (hint - not Louis) 2. For a New Kids Voodoo Doll - What is your name? (I want everyone to get it right!)

3. For a Butterfinger - Does a roast beef sandwich belong in the Cow group or in the Sandwich group?

Pathw ays Hi everyone, nice club corner huh? Well.

A-term is kicked off and meetings have started up again. We have flyers going up all over campus. If you would like to help with public­ ity, or anything else for that matter, contact

Dave Scampoli, box 5 150. And, as always, we arc looking for submissions, (poetry, short stories, artwork, black and white pictures) bring them to box 5150, which is located in the S T U D E N T A C T IV IT IE S O F F IC E , not inter­ campus mail. Those boxes only go up to 3000 or so. Have a nice day!

Pugwash What? You mean there's actually a chapter of Student Pugwash here at W P I? W ow . Yes, ladies and gentles, we have a freshly rejuve­ nated group and we need *members* like you wouldn't believe. W e can’t very well have most of the events we want to without a good following, can we? If you have even the slightest interest in talking about something besides plain old calculus, physics, and biol­ ogy. and would like to talk about Kurt Vonnegut. ethics in engineering, or global warm­ ing. come and sit in! We promise it won't hurt.

We meet every O T H E R Wednesday at 3:30 in the Social Sciences lounge (that’s in A K , now, folks), which starts this Wednesday.

Yes, tomorrow. Our next event? W e ’ve invited someone to come in and lecture on why ethics aren't being taught in the engineering fields as much as it should. Come help us plan it and get the word out to the rest of campus!

Students for Social Awareness Sorry about last week, guys, but I was busy and I forgot. So sue me! (M y head’s been like a hole, lately...) Anyway, thanks to everyone who attended the picnic. Our first social gath­ ering was a success (except we forgot the music, oh well...)

Environmentally speaking, we are pro­ gressing along. W e 'll be helping A P O and doing anything else we can to be environmen­ tally aware. The petition to the parents on Parent's Day was a success. W e told them of the lack of recycling and our idea of an Envi­ ronmental Engineering program here at W PI... most were enthusiastic.

Now it’s time to think of ideas for our float on Homecoming Day... hmmm. Make sure to make it to our next meeting in Salisbury Lounge on Thursday at 6:00 pm, where maybe you can find out about our first ever contest... cuz I sure don't know anything about it. See ya!

W om en’s Crew For all of you who are on the ball, varsity Lamaze class was beautiful! Along with get­ ting a new launch. Sue and Kevin have decided to purchase a Schoenbrod especially for our new “ babies.” “ Push... out” etc. “ Tinted window in the Red V an ?" Look for new scars on Kris’ arms... coming soon to a theatre near you.

No bathroom on the bus? There are always the windows. Cathy in 3 seat? Miracles never cease.

Psyche is building for the fall, whatever happend or doesn't happen - have fun and row hard! A M F

Good luck to everyone this week, the term is winding down and 1 hope everyone takes advantage of study hours.

F IJI A football has not met its match yet, out scoring her opponents upwards of 132 - 0! Jim “ Wheels” Detora’s arm has simply baffled enemy defensive forces with perfect complements on the receiving end in the likes of Smitty and Matt Jeffers. Doug, Niff, and T-Bird provide the defense, which as of yet has not been tested. Norm is 12-13 in extra-point attempts. One was mysteriously blocked by a member of our own team (Danny D.). Special congratulations to Jim on his 40 yard touchdown reception versus Theta Chi last week. He’d like to thank Dave Elario and his 'Hulk Rules’ t-shirt for making it all hap­ pen.

A warning to all the lovely ladies who would like to paint the rock. Guido “ Eagle Eye" Girard has finally tasted victory. A pack of women were intercepted last Thursday eve­ ning and met a most horrible fate. "There will be no mercy in the future," he said scraping the shells from his slippers.

Sophomores get ready for the Rope Pull!

Thunder, get on that tux!

A ll for now.

Phi Sigma Sigma Hola, muchachas! That's my new vocabu­ lary word, complements of Carmen! First and foremost, let's wish Deb L. a very happy 21st birthday, and also thank her for getting all of our reports out to Nationals on time!

The big event this week is naturally Home­ coming. I know everyone is psyched to build like ihe hottest float in the universe! (Do I sound like Nancy?) I'm sure Donna wouldn't mind saying, "O ff with her head!” We also have the Blessing of the House to look forward to, not to mention the ever popular Alumnae Reception lo follow the football game.

Maryellen has been working her coolie off to get things set for that wild and zany Volley­ ball Tournament with T K E . so let's show her some support. And if you haven't given her the cash How for Wael yet, cough it up!

A standing O to Melissa L. for the super rush workshop, and the following festivities. Once again, her outstanding organizational skills were evident. Thanks to Theresa, our first crowned “ Sister of the W eek," for all the hard work she put in to the phonathon. as well as all the money she raised!

And now, for the answer to the question I've been asked all week. Who was sporting the Outstanding Outfit of the Week on a Faculty Member? This week we have not on, but two winners. First. Janet Begin Richardson, Dean of Students, who always seems to be at the height of fashion, and Physics Professor Robert Long. I should note here that Professor Long was chosen not so much for his fashion know-how, but for the manner in which he presents himself.

In the personals this week we have some pressing questions. Hey, Andrea, how was your date? How many "friends" does Dara really have? W ill Stacey’s tarot cards really come true? And last but not least, how many kids can Cathy really afford lo put through college? Personal hellos to Lisa P. from Terra, to Keith Crank from Cathy F „ to Jim and Tim from Julie and Dara, and to Lisa G. (I really like that sweater) and Lisa D., and Tori, who has been seen at odd times throwing fruit remnants onto our street, and finally to Cari, because she’s just plain awesome! Finally a spot of friendly advice from Bobby Slayton, “ If you can’t laugh at yourself, make fun of other people." LITP. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Our first rush event. "Ice Cream with Becker" went over well, with lots of scooping going on. W e would like to thank the Becker girls for keeping the atmosphere of the gutter much like a pool hall, and bringing their own sound and lighting show. And girls you'll be happy to know that Rm. 14 is the safest room on campus! Get ready runners to toss some donuts after Thursday's X-country meet.

Good job to all those mondos on Monday's sports extravaganza. Brothers get pumped up for the Springfield Indians Hockey on Friday, and show our alumni what it means to party.

On Saturday, hands off the purple (white) door.

In the immortal words of Room 16. the seniors will never haze us! Fly A If.

full swing. After our big Casino Night and our Monty Python Film festival you may ask what is next? W ell how about the T K E Comedy Night. Thats right live comedy strait from the club stages in Boston, now in basement of one Mass Ave. It’s Funny and Free. That is this Friday night at 7:30, don’t be late. Then on Monday night come on over and eat some popcorn at the T K E Movie night. Also be on the look out for the T E K E Connection, a chance for you to W IN an all expense paid date on the town with a T K E little sister. Hey you can't beat them Apples.

Special thanks goes out to all the members of Phi Sig Sig and T K E who have been working so hard to turn our joint fund-raiser from a great idea into a Fantastic reality. Phi Sig Sig and T K E will be holding the first annual Bed Sheet Volleyball tournament on October l()th and I Ith. So start organizing your teams (Greek and Non-Greek are Welcome). More informa­ tion and sign-ups will be available soon.

Vote. Megan Taylor for Homecoming Queen.

Hey Sean, how was the water last week?

Anything to add Steve or Pete? Hey big thanks to fraters Waterson and Kingsland, who after covering the house in flyers. Threw one of the best House parties with the annual T K E Drop Zone, "Thirty Seconds...” Hey with fun like this you might forget you were at school. Hey lets keep up the good work and remember."

T K E the Time is Now....”

Theta Chi The brothers of Theta Chi would like to welcome this year's freshman class to another exciting season of rush at W P I. W e hope all freshmen will take advantage of this opportu­ nity to explore the Greek system. Our rush chairman, J.J. Callahan, was excited about Monday night’s turnout to see Homey the Clown and his portable carnival. Unfortu­ nately, Homey didn’t play dat. Lucky for us, Homey likes pizza and is going to return for this Friday night’s rush event.

At this time, we would like to apologize for out recent absence from the Greek Corner and wish the previous author a speedy recovery of his recent spinal injury. W e are glad to have Matt back from a much more serious appendix operation.

There has been tremendous activity in the house so far this year, cleanup weekend was once again a success, for most people. A 1990 Foosball ladder had been initiated (copyright Elvis 1990) inspiring some Hall of Famers to reappear. The question is how did Murph, that egotistical, conceited, pretentious, sensa­ tional, incomparable, unsurpassable Foos

player get to the top so fast. STO P! Melvin Time. Webster's Dictionary - “ Melvinism is alumni anesthesia." Twenty-five years ago Bo Derek wasa 10, now. I'd give her a 4. DavieC. says "I'd due ah." Otis last seen playing frisbee in the park by himself barking the word ‘R a­ dius.’ Barry's rat escapes and discovers his 4 year supply of Joe Weider's nucleic protein Carbo Fuel. Last seen jammin" with the Teen­ age Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Tri-Fanged Killer Rodents in the basement and chowim' on a few dozen Domino’s Swiss cheese pizzas.

Multiple turd plunks found in Sumo’s mailbox.

J.J. puked halfw ay through a psych mid-term, then spent the rest of the time reflecting on his life. Vroman tries out for a guest apprearance on the new T V series 'Babes.'

For the second week in a row closet football-a-holic has won the pool, congrats to Zman. Finally, we would like everyone to know that Lugnut's 20 Greatest Surveillance Re­ cordings starring none other than Randy the MachoMan ‘Savageder,’ is now available in the W P I Bookstore.

Thanks for listening. Next week.

Zeta Psi Greetings from the local pound. Yes, I had to go and bail out Taz again for eating prospec­ tive freshmen. Maybe he’s had enough of hamburger and chicken.

Here's a suggestion. Instead of heat this winter, let's all drink some antifreeze. Nega­ tive Man can supply us. But did you notice the chicken was cooked all the way through?

Lucas, phone! What is this, the deja-vu house?

Hey Pete and Pyro, I know it’s getting colder, but do you need to have a tourch fight? How fast will denim catch? I know Fred is the eggman but who is the walrus? Marshal says he’s a gas. How many games of Bonk can I play before becoming one with the machine? So, who watched that two hour Nintendo ad the other night?

I need Stigmata! Polar makes the root beer from hell. Marshal, still jonesing for raspberry-lime? The latest musical nuance in the house is Ethel Merman sings Guns ‘n Roses, just ask Numba the Tumbla for a request. What the hell is a sploft? I ’m getting tired of your sploftitude. It’s DeVries of the Iguana People!

Enough of that. Things are looking up this rush. Our “ Exotic Dancer” was awesome. I know we all enjoyed her muchly. Great car smash on Friday, who know V W ’s broke so easily? Keep coming down you Freshmen.

Feel free to hand out and have fun with the brothers.

Anyway, til the Pope wears a condom for Mother Theresa, nuff said.
