Students air views at open meeting by Ray Bert
Editor-/n-Chief
Flansburgh and Associates again gathered together theirchartsand schematics last Thursday, this time troop· ing off to Perreault Hall to present their ideas to anyone on campus who cared to show up. The meeting, scheduled as a response to concerns from many areas on campus that the entire community should have the opportunity to see the plans, attracted about 150 people, of which approximately sixty percent were students. Lasting nearly two hours, the meet· ing generated much discussion on the relative importance of WPI's needs. With the exception of Karen Rohleder of the Management department and Bill Durgin from Mechanical Engi· neering, all of those asking questions or making comments were students; interesting since the meeting was originally a response to faculty complaints of a lack of representation at the architectural firm's first presentation several weeks ago.
Flansburgh 's proposals represented some changes !Iince the meeting of September 22, presumably resulting from questions and suggestions arising from that meeting. Significantly, the negative response to altering the Higgins Lawn area seems to have been heard. Though proposals still exist for an 80 space parking lot or the reloca- / tion of tennis courts to the lawn area, / they appear to figure less prominently , in the plans than before. And witb more, universally negative com men; tary for those proposals on Thursday, that trend may continue. Secretary of the Corporation Stev Hebert spoke at the outset of the meet· ing, outlining the plan of action for implementation of a campus plan. Op October t 6th Aansburgh will deliver~ full report with dollar figures to thf trustees. "Your input will relate dt· . rectly," said Hebert, who went on to stress that this report would not result in a mandate. Through November, December and January, more discussions and open meetings will take place and the Blue Ribbon Task Force will continue to
meet and discuss issues. They will deliver a report to the board of trustees on February 20th and make financial recommendations. March and April will see more discussion, with final recommendations and a timetable orrived at on Ma 21st at the annual meeting of the ~rporation . Ffansburgh then presented their latest ideas, consisung primarily of throe options ,ror dea~g with Mccbanic:al EnJinee~g s~ problcm~ tbreo fof. ~ Qlm s.eioter, $even fot a,rking nU lbeo v~fjl pp~ibilities for ways ~nedlf~r toptions.

ing a new classroom and office building to make Strauon Hall available for ME use (Strauon was actually originally an ME building). Concerns expressed about the ME
plans focused on the use of Alden Research Labs in Holden. Located six miles away, there was much concern over acc.ess to the facility and removing labs and faculty from the campus. Confusion still seems to exist over exactly what would be moved to this location. Campus Center options remain unchanged from the meeting of the ~nd. Renovating all of Riley for &be Center, which would require a MVJ residence hall, would cost approximately St2 million. Using the fir 1 two floors of Riley, and connecting Riley and Daniel's with a new structure is the lowest cost option at $7.3 million, but leaves the problem of a mixed use of Riley. Finally, a new building (at $14.175 million) offers the greatest design flexibility, docs not displace any beds, and could measurably improve the visual image of the campus. Aansburgh envisions a new building located near the current quad area, coupled with the elimination of parking from the quad (other than two small visitor lots), and incorpo-
rating a "campu!. green" area leading up to the Campus Center, as well as a slightly smaller version of the existing quad on the other side. Predictably, students cominued on page 9

Clark professor speaks to WPI Student Pugwash about overpopulation by Stephen Foskett
WP/ Student Pup'4Sit President
Bruce London came to speak to the WPI chapter of Student Pugwash USA last Tuesday afternoon. He discussed the challenges facing Third World development and modernization from their own population growth. After presenting an overview of the problem, Prof. London joined the Pugwash group in open discussion of the problem and some possible solutions. In many countries, for instance, a single large city is the center of all economic development and commerce.
People from the surrounding rural areas, lured by the prospect of wealth, migrate to these cities, swelling them to overcapacity. Most of these people remain un- or under-employed, draining the city's resources. This contrasts strongly, London says, with the prevalent development pattern in the First World, where many large cities dot the countryside in a productive web of commerce. The population oft he Third World, though, is multiplying rapidly, and Third World cities are quickly overtaking First World ones in tenns of population. In fact , it is estimated that by the year 2000, 8 of the top 10 populated cities will be in the Third World, with only New York and To-
kyo representing the First World. This surging population poses a grent problem to these developing economics. This issue greatly concerned many Pugwash members. The WPI SS and PS department will be offeri11g a course, called "Populo~ tion and Modernization" which will investigate these problems more fully. SS 2209, taught by Professor London, will be offered in B-Term of this year. Bruce London is H'ead of Sociology at Clark University and Adjunct Professor to the WPI Department of Social Sciences and Policy Studies. Student Pugwash is an international group of High Schools and Colleges dedicated to the study and discussion
of problems to society as awhole caused by science and technology. We believe that people should make their own decisions about these issues, and that educated scientists can be trusted
to make the correct choices. WPI Stu· dent Pugwash meets every Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in SL 123. For more infonnation, contact pugwash@wpi or mail pugwash.
New grants integrate science and humanities education Washington, Oct. t - An unprecedented collaboration among three federal agencies has resulted in the awarding of nine grants, totaling $1 ,080,000 for undergraduate curricula development projects that integrate the study of science with the humanities. The nine grants, which were announced today by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Edu-
cation (FIPSE), will help colleges and universities improve both science and humanities I iteracy among students by examining the interrelationships that exist between the two areas. These awards are the first of their kind. They also represent the first time these three federal agencies havejointly evaluated grant applications and produced collaborative awards.

On Thursday, October 8th, the second College Bowl competition for 1992-93 was held in Salisbury 104 and 105. Twenty teams participated in tenminute competitions which began al 7 pm. Each team consisted of three to four members. The teams ranged from freshmen whose teams were put together by College Bowl, to a team made up of seniors from Zeta Psi, one of the first teams to be fonned when College Bowl came to WPI. For those that don't know about College Bowl, here's how it works. College Bowl is an event where two teams use their knowledge to try to cam the most points by answering questions. Questions ranged from naming the structures of the propane molecules to an identification of a painting by the

French Impressionist Monet. Each game is made up of two five-minute rounds. Ten-point toss-up questions are asked. Both teams are given the opportunity 10 answer the toss-up. If the first team answers the question incorrectly then the question is turned over to the other team, with no penalty given to the fi rst team unless that team interrupted the moderator, where five pointS are taken off. If the team answers the toss-up question correctly, then the moderator chooses a bonus question of either twenty or thirty pointS, and that team may confer on the answers. Only that team may answer the bonus question. The team with the most points at the end of the second round wins the game. Today was the second of six compe· titions, the first being held on October I and the last on December 3. The next competition is on October 29 in· Salisbury 104 and 105.

New ruling on gender equality raises issues about future by John Gross~ Sports Editor
and Lezit Chutoranslcy, Newspeak Staff A Utica, New York, U.S. Magistrate, David N. Hurd, recently handed down a decision that could greatly affect college, high school, and organized athletics in general. He ruled that Colgate University must, under federal antidiscrimination laws, move the women's hockey team from club to varsity status. Implying that schools would have to field co-ed teams or create equivalent teams for men and women, the ruling is creating confusion as schools attempt to solve new dilemmas that it poses. A committee created the NCAA earlier this year has started looking at the changes necessitated by recent court rulings and development ofsociety. They focused on following a set of guidelines for gender equality with equal benefits for all, including men wishing to play field hockey and women looking to enter allmale sports like football. Recently, Holy Cross Athletic Director Ron Perry surmised that"gender equality is not really being defined." Instead of tackling the

gender equality issue at the heart of the debate, some schools may be simply throwing money at the problem in hopes that it will go away by creating parallel teams. Others without bollomless coffers to support multiple sports teams are facing serious decisions. They may end up supporting both a woman's version of the team, and a man's. Ron Perry feels compliance could create less athletic activity than more if schools eliminate sports because they simply can't fund
two teams in that sport. Writer's Note: As most people who were here last C-term can tell, the funding for sport路 ing activities is very limited. But money is not the only issue here. The question remains are these issues of equality and fairness going to be dealt with from an economic point of view or a societal one? Admiuedly, most universities may not be
capableorwilling to come to grips with the issue of gender equality. Dealing with the issue should begin with the students. The students need \O evaluate where they stand on these issues. The writers would like to develop an idea of where WPI students stand on these matters. What do you feel about the issue of gender equality in the sporting arena? Direct thoughts to John Grossi at box 2700, or email newspeak@wpi, by Spm on October 29th.

Field Hockey wins by Shtllte !tlorthtad Contributing Writer
Last Thursday night the WPI field hockey team played cross town rival Clark University at Alumni Field. The Engineers, ranked first in New England in the NCAA weekly poll, shut out the fifth ranked Clark, 2-0. Led by tricaptains Sue Tarallo, Donna Underwood, and Nickie Humer, WPI has had a stellar year so far. With a record of 10-0-0 as of Friday (Ed. Note: they defeated Mt. Holyoke 2-1 on Saturday in a NEW-8 conference game to go 11 -0),the team has allowed only two goals all season, while putting thirty-six in their opponent's net. Clark's goalie had ten saves in Thursday night's match-up, but was unable to stop junior Oanielle Luongo from scoring on a penalty oomer pass from Tarallo in the first half. The second goal was scored in the second half by Kristi Henricksen with an assist by Christie Hinkley. WPI goalkeeper Hunter had three saves and was assisted by WPI's consistently superb defensive play. The f1eld hockey team's next home game will be today, Oct. 13at7路15pm against Nichols College. Come outaod support the team as they bid for another bid post season berth in the NCAA tournament.

Aluminum Tracks: A review of REM, Peter Gabriel and Consolidated by St~ph~n Fosbtt News~alc Slliff
R.E.M.: AutomatJc tor the People
Yes, R.E.M.'s much-anticipated followup to the hugely successful 1991 album, OutOfTimc, is here. lt'sNOT OutOrTimcH. It'sNOTGrecnll. It's not even Document Tl. rr I had to compare it to an R.E.M. album, my choice would be Green, but it's not much like Green. It's really a new direction entirely for the band, which is no surprise after their la.st album. The songs are low and da rk, but not really sad. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a really sad sentiment on the entire disc. It's cenainly not the dark-turtleneck "life is pain" album I had feared. At first listening, I really was not sure what to think of it, but like everything R.E.M. has done, it grew on me after more listcnings. Unlike Out Of Time, there are really no songs I'd rather skip, but there are no strong standout tracks, either. Maybe that will come with time, too.
The first single, " Drive", though a great song, is not really representative of the album. To really get a feel for this one, wait for the second single, "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight". Though it is supposedly taken from "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", "Sidewinder" has almost nothing in common with that song. Instead, it'san uptempo song with a downbeat character and an indecipherable chorus. In other words, perfect R.E.M. The othersingle to come, "lgnoreland", is a political song with piles of lyrics ala ''It's The End OfThe World..." Listen closely to this one and the one after it, "Star Me Kiuen", and you'll find yourself wondering why this disc didn't get a Tipper "Explicit Lyrics" Sticker. Reportedl y, Warner Brothers forced R.E.M. to change the title of the song to "Star Me IGtten" to avoid one of these labels, though they didn't change the lyrics. The band was goilfg to call the album Star to go with this In joke, too, but settled on the Automatic... slogan of a local restaurant In all, Automatic For The People is
Foothills Theatre Presents "I Hate Hamlet" by Jennifer KllvluJ Fetllur~s
Edilor
From now until October 25, I Hate Hamlet will be playing at Foothills Theatre. A comedy wrillen by Paul Rudnick, who also wrote the Outer Critics Circle Award winning Poor Uttle Lambs, Raving and Cosmetic Surgery, it is a modem play and takes place in the present, despite the rctro title. The play opens up in a dusty New York City Apartment that is completely packed with cardboard boxes. This is obviously not your average apartment with the marble stairs and the stained glass windows. Actor Andrew Rally (played by Diego Arcinigas) who is famous for his role as a doctor in "LA. Medical", a popular T.V. show moves into the apartment after dcc1ding to move to New York City from Holly· wood. Felicia Dantine (played by Marina Re) is the real estate broker who gets Andrew this apanment and who convinces him to stay. Felicia has the " New York accent" and wears very colorful fashionable clothes. Lillian Troy (played by Eve Johnson) is Andrew's agent and is an older lady from Germany who recogni~es the apartment from a rendezvous a long time ago with a great man named John Barrymore (played by M1chacl Balcanoff). Deirdre McDavey (played by Phoebe McBride) is Andrew's very romantic and virgin girlfriend. Gary Peter Lefkowitz (played bJ Thomas . Ouleue) is Andrew's producer who tries to convince Andrew to go back to
Hollywood. Andrew is brought to New York City to play Hamlet in the summer theater in the park because his girl· friend wants him to. He does not want to play the part, and during a brief seance with Deirdre and Felicia to call back the ghost of John Barrymore, who once played Hamlet, he exclaims " I Hate Hamlet." Later that night, John Barrymore visits Andrew and convinces him to play Hamlet and woo Deirdre at the same time. It takes six weeks be· fore Andrew plays Hamlet and he is disappointed with his performance. Gary, Andrew's producer, wants him to go to Hollywood and do a television show which would make him famou9. Andrew has a choice - play Hamlet for nothing but pride as an actor- or make three million dollars in one pilot and five episodes of"Night School." This play is very funny and very well performed. The set was well done and very realistic, with boxes full of Andrew's thin~ that get thrown around during sword fights and nowers the day of Andrew's first performance. The costumes were beautiful , especially those of Hamlet and Ophelia whom Deirdre played. The play took some adjustment in order to understand it, what with ghosts coming back in human formallowingonlyspecificpeople to see him. It was a very creative and thoroughly modem play. Student rush tickets arc available before each show for six dollars with a student 10. The Foothills Theatre is located next to the Galleria and parking in the garage is two dollars with validation from the theatre.
a good disc, cenainly worth the money, but only time will tell if it joins the ranks of my favorite R.E.M. albums.
Peter Gabriel: Us At long last, Peter Gabriel has released a followup to the 1986 album, So. I was worried about how he would go about topping his last release, but no more. Us is every bit as good as So without being too derivative. With the exception of a few weak songs, ("Steam" sounds too much like "Sledgehammer" for my tastes) Us is really a strong, though odd, disc. The production and mixing is what gets this disc an odd rating. The first song, "Come Talk To Me", is really a great song, but, like many other tracks, the music is muffled, with all the instruments mixed way down. This disc really begs to be turned all the way up. Sine,~d O'Connor sings backup on this and another track, and Peter shares the instrumental work with numerous musicians from around the world. Another odd production job shows up on the disc's first single, "Digging in the
Din". It is mixed in four repeating stages, from mufned music and vocals, to clear vocals, to strong vocals and music, to quiet but clear vocals and music. Other songs take similar paths, often with bass and vocals dominating the mix. It all works well on a Peter Gabriel disc, but I don 't know how well it would have worked for any other artist. In general, Us is a great disc, also well worth the money. Incidentally, both this and the R.E.M. disc arc shipped without the long cardboard box, though the R.E.M. disc is also available with the long box. Consolidated: Play More Music For those who don't know, Consolidated are, in their own words, "crusadi ng", "nauseating middle class white guys in a political band." In short, extreme liberal rappers. Oh, and the music is pretty good too. This album, all27 tracksofit, is just as great, or horrible, depending on your perspective, as their last one, 1991's Friendly Fascism. Though pre-
dominantly rap over a heavy beat, unless you count the 30 minutes or so of comments from their audience interspersed between tracks, there arc a few surprises here. One song, "Accept Me For What I Am", is soft vocals and samplcsovermusicby the Texas metal band, Paris. Another, "You Suck", though a rap, is an, how shall I say this, amusing position on oral sex from the perspective of two female guest-rappers. Still another, ''The Men's Movement", is just audience samples over music. Finally, two other tracks feature some really pissed-off black rappers talking about the inner city. This album is not for the faint of heart or the intolerant. I don' t agree with them all the time, but Consolidated say what they want, and, on this disc, accept that they can be "Hip-oCrits" sometimes. And in case you wondered, they didn 't get a Tipper Sticker, but only because the disc was pressed and sold out of Canada. Instead it came with a sticker reading "Warning: Jew, Commie, Homo, Vegetarian Sympathizing Lyrics Contained Within."

Boccherini Ensemble by Dlln Wriglel
Classo/'95 "Fantastic" is the word that comes to mind when thinking of the Bocchcrini Ensemble. The highly acclaimed musical group performed in Alden Hall's Great Hall on October 3rd to an enraptured audience. This was the ensemble's first performance in Massachusetts since their federally funded Iowa tour. Because of this, it was the first or second time that they had performed many of their new songs. Their musical styles arc as varied as their talent A piece by J.S. Bach opened the evening as the group displayed their evident talent in the classical music genre. Prom there, pieces included a pop song by the Police, a bluegrass tunc called " Blueberry Blossom," and some original tunes written by the group. That was only some of the first half. After a brief intermission, they continued with "Grave Fandango" by Luigi Bo<:cberini and proceeded to play a plethora of varied rock songs, some blues., and an origi-
nal ballad called "Do You Ever Think of Me." They finished with a blues song entitled "Stormy Monday" Their talents arc as varied as their musical styles. Founder Jonathan Mishne plays classical and electricguitar. Chaz Baldwin, cellist, also sings and sometimes plays an electric, five stringed cello that he built. Frank Molina carries the beat behind the drum set. Violinist Hasan Sumen rounds out the group with fellow violinist Kate Russo, who also plays keyboards, saxophone, and has a fine singing voice. The ensemble is named after Luigi Bocchcrini, a contemporary of Mozan. A fin e composer in his own right, Boccherini's music was far overshadowed by that of Mozan. The piece played by the group included Bocchcrini's use of the Spanish guitar in chamber music, an innovation that may be centuries old, but begins to bridge the modem gap between classical and popular music. The group has plans to return to Iowa, but if they are ever in your area, I highly recommend that you attend. The price of admission is well worth the enjoymetlr. • '

Emergency Medical Services originated as an lOP project by three WPI students three years ago. Feedback about the treatment of cases has been very positive. In 1992, EMS won the Outstanding Student Organization Award. EMS has a response time of two to three min· utes. If you have a medical emergency, do not hesitate to call EMS at831-5797. Volunteers are all WPI students. Some are emergency medical technicians (EMT's), and all have CPR training. EMS personnel carry two-way radios or pagers for 24-hour contact with campus police and work in teams of two. EMS has its own hierarchy: a chief of operations, a chief of services and a chief of person· nel. EMS operates underrhe auspices ofthe cam· pus police, and all officers have emergency medical care training. If an incident is serious enough, the patient will be transported to the hospital, either by cruiser or by ambulance. In September, there were fifteen transports by WPI police and eight by the Worcester City EA. The WPI police also assist EMS with dispatch. In September, EMS responded to 41 calls. Thirty-two percent of all calls were of a serious nature, including dislocations, broken bones, sprains, illness, and other major medical prob· Iems. Fifty-six percent of EMS calls were minor incidents, such as lacerations, bums, and for· eign objects in the eyes. These calls do not include ETOH, an acronym that stands for EThyl alcOHol and is used by EMS to refer to alcohol related incidents. Only twenty-sevenpercent of the calls were ETOH related. Calls come in a variety of types. EMS responded to six categories of calls in Septem· ber. These included: four incidents of illness or
pain of an unknown cause; four calls involving major medical treatment, such as broken bones; and one instance for minor medical treatment, such as lacerations. There were several major spons injuries, such as sprains. There were four ETOH accidents, and one of them was serious. There were also five incidents of intoxication requiring medical treatment.
In sum, EMS personnel are on call 24 hours a day, as are campus police. They will respond to an emergency anywhere on campus. If you have a medical emergency, call EMS at 831· 5797. O.stt•Duled Oy Tr!Oune Me<l<a Se<•ces

This epic takes place 200 years after The Avatar had last visited and brought peace be· tween the Human and Gargoyle races. However, times are not the same, and the division between rich and poor widen further and further over the decades. King British is naive to this fact and does not yet know about it. A society known as the fellowship has been established by three highly respected citizens in order tp ~elp out ~he lives of others during these past years. But no force may be enough to halt the coming of Britannia's greatest threat ever. The entity who appeared on The Avatar's computer M:rcen now presented itself as the
newest and greatest threat Britannia has ever faced, but thankfully, has not arrived yet. He could only arrive through one device, which still remains unknown. The Avatar must complete hi.s (or her) series of quests in order to find out how to complete the most dangerous quest ever in the history of Britannia. The Ultima series begins its third trilogy with a bang. The action in the game is unreal, the graphics are the most spectacular I've ever seen for VOA. The plot of the game is intricate and complicated. It is a game that, even with the clue book, is impossible to solve without at least a couple weeks of play, or 80 straight hours of play. The only other problem, other than the muteness of the game without a sound board, is the amount of room the game takes on the hard drive ·21MB worth. Still, for those who are in the mood to play what will definitely be one of the best gamesofthc year, or if you' re a die-hard role-playing fan, this game will provide you many hours of great entertainment. Ultima VII: The Black Gate for the IBM is the pick of the term for best game and is a candidate for best game of the year. That's all for Term A! See you in November!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Weight Room: .. Check Your Ego at the Door To the Editor: Early this year WPI had the good fortune of having a brand new weight room installed for use of students, faculty , and friends. This weight room was quite an improvement over the old weight room, even though it lacked in some manners. Namely there is a lack of a decent triceps pull down machine, a rowing machine, and a decent calf machine. Sure, there are ways to exercise these muscles but not as well as you could ifthe weight room was more adequately equipped. However, my problem with the weight room is not with the machinery, quite frankly I think it is quite good. My problem is with the two testosterone totin', gut suckin' in, Cro-Magnon gentlemen who appear to run the facility. These two gentlemen are rude, disturbing and
don't know enough about total body fitness to exercise Arnold Schwarz;eneggar's dog. To begin with, on several occasions I have asked these gentlemen whether or not I could do a certain exercise, such as dumb bell curls, over by the far end of the gym where it is less crowded. This would decrease the traffic in the dumb bell area, and would lower the likelihood of an injury to someone using the facility due to over crowding, sounds like a reasonable request, huh? Well when asked, one of the gentlemen responded with a snotty "the dumb bell area is for dumb bells only and the other area is for bar bells, you can't do that," and then he scratched himself in a certain phallic area. This may seem like small potatoes, butt he two gentlemen are constantly stopping people from doing the exercises that they
Sports coverage suggestion To the Sports Editor, This is in response to the Editor's Note to the "concerned sportsman" in the last week 's (10/6) issue of Newspeak. First of all, why should a player from a Varsity sport, for example Field Hockey and Men's Soccer, be asked to write an article for their sport while the Football articles are being written by a Newspeak staff member every week. Field Hockey and Men's Soccer arc cunently undefeated (as of 10/9) and are also number on in the New England Division ln. Seeing that you also ag.reed that "equality would be nice", I wish to propose an idea to aid sports coverage. Since Newspeak has only two writers covering sports, I suggest that the writers rotate which sports to cover each week. Perhaps Soccer and Cross Country one week, Football and Volleyball the next week, Field Hockey and Golf the following week, etc. This is one method that Newspeak could use to achieve the equality that they want and the athletes desire. Over 200 athletes participate in fall Varsity sportS alone. This isn't including the many more that participate in
Winter and/or Spring Varsity sports. All these athletes practice and work hard at their sports for a couple hours everyday, and represent WPI with pride everytime they go to a game, match, or meet. I plead for you to give them the equal recognilion that they so richly deserve. I do agree that Newspeak needs some more writers for all sports here at WPI, but until then, maybe you could rry my suggested method. And maybe as the result of this issue on Sports Coverage being brought up, concerned students will come to Newspeak and ask to write for the Sports Column. You never know!!
Thank you for listening, Brooke Kuffel '95 Ed. Note: Not a bad idea at aiL Point well taken - though we are studenJS as well and have our own schedules to work around when attempting to cover events, which unfortunately compromises equality at times. But, on the positive side, this issue seems to be generating more interest in the coverage ofthe sports scene- which is better for all of us. Thanlcs for the suggestion.
Parking proposal problems To the editor, Try to park your car on a side street within 4 blocks of our lovely campus at lOam any day of the week, and you might as well be trying to get tickets to 1 U2 concert for under $30 bucks, or trying to park in downtown New York at lunch. And the Worcester City Council is attempting to make it even more impossible. The latest proposal for residential parking would render us helpless and parking-spot-less, and if the residents around WPI petition we would be out of luck. The new ordinance would state that you must be a resident of a street, with a car registered at that address, and pay a S10.00 per year sticker fee to park on 1 designated pan of the said street So, being a student from Connecticut or Maino or wherever, you would have to go through the trouble of re-registering your car in Massachusetts and applying for a new parking sticker every time your address changes here in Worcester. Not only that, but you could only park your car on the street where you re.<tide, therefore people living on cam· pus or a small distance from campus could not park at all on the streets surroundingtheWPicampus. Tbisisaimed to please the Worcester residents around the WPI and Oark campuses who have been complaining for years about the problem of overcrowded streets. The school of course gives us the alternative to buy a $30 on campus parking sticker, but for those of us who did shell out the cash, we well know that a sticker for the Stoddard Lot does not necessarily guarantee a parking spot there. So what now,the City Council has us at its will, but do they aCtually realize what the consequences of their actions maybe,andhowdeeplyhavetheylooked intolhisproblem? lfthismeasurepa.c;.~ we will need a parking garage •t WPI (not th~at we don't need one ;.1~'\d)•), and the adminisuatJUnwill not be pleased
to shell out the additional funds. We, the students, support a big part of this city. and by making it a harder place to park. the city is pushing us out, and hurting themselves and the businesstl> we support. I do admit that the residents surrounding WPI deserve some respect too, just because they live around WPI doesn't mean they should have to put up with their drive-ways being blocked, and streets a mess. Alii can hope is that the petition process is too hard for them to actually follow through on, and that we do realize this is an apparent problem. Sinurely, Tricia Gagnon
would like to, and consequently need to do. Now you might be saying "Maybe it's because they areconcemed about your health." Well, you are wrong. The other day I was doing a hamstrings exercise on a flat bench when one of the gentlemen came over and said we could not use the bench to do the exercise. He was very rude about it from the outset even though we were never infonned about such a rule. It 's guys like him that make weight lifters look like a bunch of drooling baboons. The thing that really made
me realize that this guy had no clue about body fitness was that when we asked where we could do the exercise were performing to effectively work out hamstrings he suggested the Jat machine or the rowing machine which are two exercises for your back. Well, I got news for you coach, Your hamstrings are in the back of your legs not your back. Why don't you get your head out of your gluteals and stan running our weight room like it should be run. This means by showing the patrons of the weight room a little

respect and helping them out a bit You don't have to be a manly man all the time now do you? If something in the weight room is being used in a manner which you see as unfit, then deal with the situation like an adult and not like a ranting child. Although there will always be tough guys like this they do serve one purpose. They have named one of the weight room instruments after them. I believe they call them.....dumb bells.

Resident Advisor selection process To the editor, My name is Scott Griffiths, and I am a Resident Advisor on Daniel's 2 this year. I am writing this Jetter to inform the campus that the RA selection process will be starting soon. There will be posters advertising the beginning of selection when we return from break. Selection begins
with an informational session, which is where the applications are available. The applications will be due approximately two weeks after that. If you have an interest in being a resident advisor, please attend one of the informationa I sessions to see what it involves. All it takes is a caring, open-minded, and responsible person
to make an RA. If you have questions, wait until you see the posters, and then, if you still have questions, con· tact Residential Services at831-5645. Have a great break, and hope to see you 8-Term.

COMMENTARY

Shooting from the Lip 5: " The AAR Position or Life, the Ultimate Freedom by John Dunktlberg
Newspeak Staff SuggestioflSand com1111!11taryon top· ics of current interest are solicited from all. The author can be reached by email at johndunk@wpi, or by physi· cal mail toJohn Dunkelberg in care of the Department of Computer Science. /Having voiced the Pro-AbortionRights and Anti-Abortion-Rights positions, I plan to leave this topic for tile time being. If you ha1'e topics you would lilce to see covered and discussed, drop me a line. Quotes and quanlltative data: 1992 Information Please Almanac.J "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." (Preamble of the U.S. Constitution) We like to think of America as the "Land of the Free", where a person can rise from any background to become successful, noted, powerful, and rich. The land of opportunity for anyone, regardless of their gender, ethos, or creed. But there is a trend in America to deny the most basic of freedoms to U.S. citizens, to deny the most basic of rights ... Life. How can we claim to
"secure the blessings of liberty" for a life by ending it? At CQnception, an important event has happened. Without outside interference or internal trauma, that event will lead to the birth of a new human being. Nowhere along that chain of events can we claim that an organism has disappeared and a human beings has appeared. Conception is the causation of a life, a human life. There is no rationale for a dividing line at the end of the second trimester or at any other point. We must realize thdt terminating a pregnancy is the same thing as ending a life. And without dispute, ending a life is murder. To allow someone to commit murder, without recourse to our criminal justice system, fundamentally undermines our society. Our nation, whose Constitution pledges to "promote the general welfare", cannot allow the 1.5 million murders per year that we call abortion, to continue. As such, stronger legislation must be made, and legal precedence rendered, to overturn Jaws which support this practice. How can one argue that abortion is between a mother and her doctor? Are they not leaving out the party most involved: the child? We do not allow a mother to kill her child after birth, and we have shown that there is no difference in the "aliveness" of a child before or after birth. We do not allow the murder of a disabled child, yet
abortions, combined with modem prenatal medical practice, allow for the selective murder of children which do not meet our standards of perfecl. The simple facts are out there. If you have sexual intercourse, you have tho chance of beginning a new life. Even if you use a condom, or are on the pill, or use any other contraceptive means, you must accept that responsi· bihty. The price of that pleasure is that you may find that your life has changed. There are alternatives, such as adop· tion, but your responsibility ro see that life to birth cannot be shrugged. The source of that life should not be a factor in whether or not it is given the same protections as any other human life. If the child is by rape, or incest, or just a lover who is no longer in favor does not matter. We should not Jay the crimes of the father on the child, and certainly not murder the child for the crimes of the father. What justice can we offer to our citizens, that a blame· less child could be killed. So, in conclusion, a child is a human life from the moment of conception to birth and beyond. We can no more tolerate the murder of a pre-natal life than we can tolerate the murder of a post-natal lifo. This is not a matter of choice, this is a matter of defending the citizens of this country. A matter of providing for them the ultimate right, the ultimate choice, the ultimate freedom... Life.
WPI Dining Services... To the Editor: Well, we have given it a full term. One term completed and we can see more and more clearly that nothing has changed. New names, new policies and new faces haven't helped and tho real issue has still not been addressed. No, I'm not talking about the presiden· tial campaign, but DAKA ...or WPI Dining Services, if you prefer. We were promised changes, and admittedly, they delivered. We are no longer refered to as "Customers," but "Guests," and as such, we are invited to "Guest Forums" instead of " React to Management" days. DAKA is now WPI Dining Services and wow, what a difference it makes in the taste of the food! In addition to pizza, Woks and Diner 's Plus Cards (legitamate changes), that's it, folks. My point is that what is most important about any meal is the quality of the food and in this regard, DAKA is still a disappointment You can't taste phiiCJsophy. Brion Keagk Classof '94

Student Government Association Meeting Octobu 13th, 1992, 5:30pm, Goat's Head Conference Room (basement of Riley, Alden side) This week's meeting will be informal and will consist of pizza, soda, and discussion.
<
Treasurer's Report Michelle Giglio reported on the current status of the SGA budget. SGA allotted itself $3415 for this fiscal year, and expenditures thus far in A-term have totalled $684. Expenses have included Newspeak ads, Plant Services set-up fees for the Activities Fair, office supplies, photo copier rental and paper, and net losses on soda. Giglio will be delivering this report on a weekly basis. Open Meeting Discussion • With the approach of the open meeting presenting Flansburgh and Associates' preliminary ideas for the campus plan, debate centered on the issue of publicizing the meeting. Senator Erik Currin suggested publicizing as fully as possible. General sentiment was to let people know about the meeting, but not to hype it as vigorously as last year's open meeting. As successful and persuasive as the large turnout last year was, the discussion was seen as too chaotic at times. This meeting was primarily with the architectural firm, and not with those making the final decision on the campus plan. An informal decision was reached to rely on the large ad in Newspeak and for SGA to spread the news by word of mouth, hopefully producing a student turnout by those who are truly interested. Soda Policy Giglio gave a detailed rationale for the discontinuation of25 cent sodas. Approximately $5/week was lost to people not paying and an additional $5/week due to a rise in soda prices (25 cents no longer covers the cost). She suggested resuming offering soda at a price of 35 cents. Erik Felton pointed up problem of making change for that amount, and Giglio responded by noting that thesenatoron duty in the office would probably need to accept payment and make change using the cash box, which should also alleviate the problem of stealing the soda. Erik Currin asked if senators should have been involved in the decision to discontinue the soda in the first place. Giglio noted that SGA was losing money and she took steps to correct that. There was general consensus that the executives should have the power to make these kinds of decisions.
Announcements John Grossi asked for volunteers to officially update the constitution to reflect changes made in the last year and to ensure that it is consistent. The group may be a standing committee or ad-hoc, a decision which will be made later. Felton again called for more help on the publicity and safety committees, which he currently chairs. Giglio spoke again about two new committees, for fundraising and student organization funding. The Iauer was quickly formed and will be drafting a letter to the trustees pointing out the need for more funding for student groups.
continued from page 1 expressed a strong preference for this option. The parking options were many and varied, including the possibility of un· der the quad (to go along with a new Campus Center), a parking garage in the library lot, across Park Ave, on the softball field and others. The softball field option would require the reloca· tion of softball activities to A.J. Knight field. Various objections were expressed to many of these suggestions. In the discussion which followed the presentation, a wide variety of comments was elicited. Student Government Senator-Elect Warren Smale called for the school to exhibit forethought and spend the money now to do it right. Speaking for a new Campus Center building, he quoted Fisk's Insider's Guide to Colleges' character· ization of social life at WPI: "Join a fraternity or sorority, drink heavily and pray for better days to come." Many other students directly or indirectly called for a new building· including a plea to preserve the heritage of Riley as a residence hall. Ruhlederspoke for several minutes, voicing concern over the proposed moving of the Management department to the Ellsworth-Fuller complex. She pointed out the need for maintain· ing "physical and intellectual proxim· ity" to the rest of the academic departments, which would be compromised by the move. From comments that piled up over the course of the discus· sion, agreement seems widespread that the move would be unfair and not in the department's best interests.
IN THE NEWS Compiled from tht Boston Globe by Erik Currin AssociiJie EdiiJJr Wortd Serb shells in Sarajevo aimed at hotels, apartment complexes, and municipal buildi ngs set off raging fires on Monday. Children will stan starving in large numbers if reliefsupplies are withheld. The U.N.Securlty Council formed a war crimes commission to investigate alleged atrocities, especially within Bosnia-Herzegovinia and Croatia. It also plans to form a military field hospi· tal in addition to the peace-keeping foroe. Many elections were held in differ· ent countries during the week. In Estonia, a former Bosnia republic, an advocate of free markets, Lennan Merl, defeated Communist leader Arnold Ruttel to become the first post-Soviet presiden~ofthe republic. Kuwait held it first democratic election for its 4irst-(;Jass citizens," which excludes women and other government classified "secondclasscitizens." In its first election,oppo· sition candidates won most of the seats. Thiny-five out of the fifty seats went to liberal, lslamic, or independent opposition candidates in a clear sign that the Kuwaiti people want change. Under Kuwait's current situation, however, old government officials are automatically elected. ltbrahim Babangida, president of Nigeria, suspended civilian rule in the country after evidence was found of voting fraud in Nigeria's first election. Civilian rule is suspended indefinitely pending a review by the government. An inquiry was launched to investi· gate alleged massacring of hundreds of prisoners in a Brazilian jail, causing a large scale prisoner riot. Luiz Antonio Fleury Filho, the governor ofSao Paulo, Brazil, dismissed his aide, Pedro Franco de Campos. who ordered that more than 100 prisoners be summarily executed. Twenty to one-hundred twenty Palestinians were injured in Jerusalem in a stone throwing clash with soldiers firing rubber-bullets and tear-gas on Wednes· day. The confrontations occurred as troops tried to break up rallies support· ing the hunger strike in an Israeli jail. The Israeli government announced the following that it would accept Palestineans from outside territories in
Middle East peace talks in, a major step forward in the peace negotiations. In Lima, Peru, a military tribunal convicted Abimael Guzman, the leader of the Shining Path guerrilla movement responsible for approximately 25,000 deaths and 22 billion dollars in damages, to a Hfe in prison without parole. Ten other leaders were also convicted and given the same sentence. Lawyers and international supporters protested against the trial, which was a brief and closed. During the trial Abimael was jailed and blindfolded, and never formally told what he was being tried for. The population from Peru seems to believe, on the other hand, that his punishment wasn't severe enough. Hong Kong's new govemor, Chris Patten, introduced sweeping democratic changes to the British colony's political system in a speech that would take place before the year 1997, when Hong Kong would be handed over to Communist China. The changes would attempt to protect Hong Kong's way of life while the colony was still able to do so. People in Black See resort region, Sukhum, the capital of the Abkhazian seperationaJist republic, fled in mass numbers to avoid imminent war with Georgia. President Boris Yeltsin will meet with both sides next Tuesday to anemptto stop a war which is likely to draw in Russia, who has been accused ofsend battle tanks to theseperationalist. NatJonal The Congress was busy during the week trying to pass a number of bills before they adjourned for the year. They overrode Bush's veto of the bill to reregulate cable television. The veto was the first to be overridden ever in Bush's administration. The health bill to re authorize the National Institute of Health failed due mainly to Republican opp<~Silion in the House. The bill would allow, among other things, the use of fetal tissues from abortion in experi· ments. Republican opposition centered around the belief that the bill would encourage abortions. A bill to help Gulf War veteran's with health problems was passed. The bill guarantees free medical exams and relating testing for veterans, as well as keeps their medical logs. The GlobaJ Warming treaty was signed by the Senate after a 3 year debate. The
U.S. is the first to ratify the treaty which reduces emissions of so-called "greenhouse gases." The Congress passed the $27 billion tax bill, though it is expected to be vetoed by Bush. The bill includes urban aid and expanded IRA accounts, paying with them with selected tax in· creases. The bill making anned car hijacking a federal crime is still pending. lne United States Supreme Court received many new cases also. The Bush Administration's policy of returning Haitian refugees back to Haiti without a hearing will be examined for issues of legality. They heard the case on whether Operation Rescue should be forced to stop protestoutside clinics. No decision was reached. Mennwhile, a couple of companies across the country were getting in legal trouble. Aetna Life Insurance Company agreed to pay the Somerville Re1ire· ment commission over $1.5 million dollars to avoid legal problems resulting from secret dealing with the investment broker Carmen Elio. The retirement board were persuaded by the broker to invest money with Aetna, who received a $ 1 million dollar commission without the board's knowledge. Fleet Financial Group lnc. announced a 40 million dol· Jar plan to assist aggrieved homeowner amidst allegations that its Providence Bank engage in unfair lending prac· tices. Mary D. Fischer, a HIV positive woman, was appointed head of the National Commission on AIDS, to address the real needs of AIDS victims. She replaces former basketball star, Eatvin "Magic" Johnson, who quit after com· ploining about Bush's lack of suppon . Politics Perot's re-entry into the presidential race has had little effect on the race so far, with Perot'sex-advisor,John White, joining the Ointon Campaign. Perot's first30 minute commercial appeared on national television just before the National League baseball play-offs. The commercial warned of the economic and political danger the country was in, using graphs and figures. A debate among all three of the political candi· dates will occur this Sunday night. Both Bush and Ointon are preparing for the debate by having mock debates with
stand-in's for their opponents, while Perot is taking a more unorthodolt approach. In more bad news for smokers, re· searchers at Harvard School of Public Health found evidence of second hand smokecausingprecanoerouschanges in the lungs of nonsmokers. The group is the first to find evidence of actual dam· age, reaffirming the connection between second hand smoke and higher percentages of cancer. Nonh Eastem University announced that it will ban all tobacoosales and smoking in public buildings based on the findings. The move adds Nonh Eastern to a list of college campuses enactingsimilar rules because of health concerns.
life 10 the Gulf of Mexico. Local Oovemor Weld signed a new law to curb the escalating rate of domestic vio· lence. The bill allows a judge to with· hold bail for a person who is considered likely to pose a personal danger in such a case. State political leaders urged people to help raise money for battered women by participation in the October 25 Walk for Women Safety. A study by the Federal Reserve Bank ofBostonshows that banks in the Greater Boston area discriminate against blacks and Hi!>panics when they apply for mortgages. The study stated that a black or Hispanic was 60% more likely to be denied 11 mortgage than a white person, even when they had better credit. Boston high schools scored below the national average on standardized test in math and English in nine out ol fifteen public schools. Some students were graduating as functional illiterates.
Environmental First, the good news. The Congress approved a sweeping energy bill that sets new standard for everything from better lights and shower heads to mak· ing it easier to build nuclear power plants. It also triples tax breaks for workers taking mass transit. Also, according to the National Atmospheric Administration, the amount of halon, a chemical that depletes the ozone layer, is l ' '. \' finally leveling off, with a possible decrease by 1993. •H-1 Visas The trend is mainly due to thephasingoutofhalon fire •Permanent Residence extinguishers.

Poetry Slam in Boston Wednesday
1992
.. CANDYMAN .. sneak
by J ennifu Principe
CIJJss of '96 Starting this Wednesday, October 14th, the third annual poetry slam group competitions will be held in 8o ton. Poetry slams give the art of poetry an urban twist and allow amateur poets to perform and be judged in a casual atmosphere. The slams are currently popular in 20 major cities nationwide, and have often been described as a literary "Gong Show." Poetry slams are a relatively new concept, originating only eight years ago in Chicago. The goal of the performing poet is to draw the audience into the poem and make them feel as he or she did when writing the poem. The judges are all picked from the audience, making the slam a true audience participation event. This is also the first time that a slam will include a team from a foreign country, as a Swedish team makes its debut performance in America. The events have effectively brought a new audience to poetry, as they bring this exciting form of human expression out or an academic atmosphere and back to the general public. If you are staying here over break and have a means to get to Boston this weekend, this is a guaranteed good time. The main and final event will be held Saturday from 7:00.midnight at the Atrium at One Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. The $2000 grand prize will be awarded to the winning team that night. Tickets arc $10 at the door, but are expected to sell out in advance. To reserve tickets or get more information on this and other slam events contact Tim Mason at (508) 79 I -5876.

Islam, compared to other religions like Christianity and Hinduism, is relatively recent. it rose from Arabia where the diversity of Arabian religion was nominal, or formal, or superstitious. Arabpagarism has started losing tis hold on the local people ....who found themselves frightened and conscious of their evil deeds. At that time, tribal religion played a major role in the environment. God and cult were the badge of identity, and apostasy was equated with treason. So then one might ask: does Islam simply represent the Bedouin mind projected into the realm of religion or is it a religion that developed in an urban environment that took on urban characteristics. Modem research, however,

has shown what scholars call untenability of the common assumption of the Bedouin origin of Islam. The development of the first Islamic century, according to scholars like Gibb, "confirm the character of Islam as a strong, self-confident and conquering faith. From this has come its unyielding attitude towards everything that lay outside itself, but also its record of broad tolerance of diversity within its own community, refusal to persecute those of other communities, and the dignity with which it endured moments of eclipse." What was astonishing at the time was the speed of conquests, and the orderly character of the approach. It is important to know that the military undertakings of the Muslims accompanied the immediate release of their intellectural energies. Neither of these
master science governing Muslims is law. Islamic law was as crucial then, as it is now, to the development of Mus lim society. This is due to its social, moral, and political role. Becauseoflslam's far-reaching and effective laws, at the end of the tenth century a great civilization had been built up which was brilliant, wealthy and !... enterprisingM'qaiS~a:!tthe visible embod~ ment of the spiritual and intellectual might of Islam. Since then, the circumstances commanded different challenges, and gradually the Muslim state diverged from earlier generations. Political disintegration was not accompanied by a break-down of Muslim society. In fact, the decline of political power has injected new life into Islamic intellectual and social forces. It is these same forces that drive modern frontiers of Islamic development.

discuss the need for college curriculum imt~rovements that cross traditional academic disciplines to present students with a coherent, interrelated view of the various fields of human knowledge. One year ago the Endowment, NSF and APSE called for grant proposals that would improve core curricula, develop integrated course sequences, create new minors and majorsand have the potential to become models for colleges and universities across the nation. Nine proposals have received funding. The recipients are from six states and the District of Columbia. With a grant of $38,000, WPI will develop a capstone course to explore the themes of light, vision and understanding in the sciences and the humanities. The course will examine how knowledge is represented in the humanities and the sciences. During the next three years, the Endowment, NSF and FJPSE plan award approximately $1 .8 million for as many as 15 granlS annually. The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent federal agency that supports education, research, preservation and public programs in the humanities. The National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that supportS scientific research, engineering and science education. The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, a program within the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education, supports campus reforms aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of post-secondary.

CLUB CORNER
American Society of Civil Engineers We are the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. We are here to sponsor events and contests and provide a connection with the national organization. If you wish to join contact Jean Henault at Box# 1667 for applications. We would like to thank all of those who showed up to the first sociaVinformation session. The alumni speakers were impressed with the turnout. We are going to enter the Steel Bridge Contest this year. This contest involves constructing a steel bridge witch spans 20'. If you took CE2002 or CE3006 and want to give us a hand, let Bill Lewis know at Box # 1013 To sponsor the concrete canoe construction we will be taking orders forT-shirts beginning next te rm. The winning t-shirt design was the CO-ED NAKED SURVEYrNG design. On Thursday, October 29 we will be having a Halloween Party.
AIChE Hi! So, this is my last article for a while. Sorry for the absence last week (not that I had a clue as to what was going on anyways). This past week, we had our last general meeting for the term. I hope everyone paid their dues. And thanks to Todd for taking care of the survey and to everyone who showed up to help him out! And then we had the presentation from Procter & Gamble. For those of you who missed it, that's too bad- it was reallycool (and we got free pizza, and they took our resumes!) And then Friday, the officers had a luncheon with Professor Sacco (more free food!) Thanks to everyone for coming. And next week: we have finals; good luck everyone! and then it's Au revoir! As a fi nal note I'd just like to say that the more you participate in AIChE, the more input you can put towards changes in your department and the happier you 'II be with your major. If you have any ideas, you can talk with your class representatives or any of the other officers. 89MCRB

The pledge class officers are Mike Doherty, President; Travis Bergh, SVP; Justin Koller, FVP and Chris Reilly as Court Jester. Have a good break! Jen If you want my signature you must bring me a shrubbery-Tony....Cheesecake! ...You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring....The duck weighs more.......What is the budget, Dave? .... Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?.....What is the wing velocity of an unladen swallow?...... hmmmm,sounds like a good lOP qucstion!. ...l need the cheesecake!
European Student's Association At our meeting last Wednesday (7 October) we discus ed quite a few things. The big thing coming up, hopefully next term, will be a forum on the changes in Eastern Europe. What'sgoing on there, and what do people think about it? (f you know anybody who might be interested in speaking about this topic, let us know as soon as possible. We also had a short discussion about the Maastricht Treaty, and whether or not England was being dorky about it. No conclusions were reached. We still have Official ESA T-shirts available. They are of very nice quality and only cost $1 0. The really big thing, though, was our participation in the Penny War last week. I walked by late Friday, and it looked like we were doing very well. If we win, we plan on donating the proceeds to a Yugoslavian Relief Fund. Thanlcs to everyone who participated in that! We will not behaving a meeting this Wednesday, as it will be finals week. Our next meeting should be the first or second week of B-term. Wednesdays at4:30 in HL20 I. Hope to see you there. If you have any advice or comments or complaints just drop a note into the ESA box in the Student Activities Office, or send us email to esa@wpi.wpi.edu.
Christian Bible Fellowship Finals are here! I hopeyou're nottoostressed. I know I'm not. I let off all my steam at the end of term "Go Nuts B4 Finals" get together! Last
Friday's bash was extremely interesting. There were some fantastic peanut races and the much requested "electricity" game. The skits were also very enlightening. You might say they "cracked" me up. As far as upcoming events are concerned, th~ regular Friday meetings for the next two weeks are nonexistent, becauseof Octoberbreak. However, the Life Chain around Worcester is scheduled during break. For more information call 792-9483. "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" Psalm 8:3,4 The Lord is so awesome, majestic and mighty. He created the heavens and the earth. Sometimes when we try to take the troubles of this world on our own shoulders, it is easy to think that God j ust does not care about us. However, God is very near to each one of us, and He cares for every individual person. All we have to do is ask Christ into our lives and then prayerfully lift up all the worries and burdens in our lives to him. "Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:26,27

GREEK CORNER
AXP This is it folks, the end of A-Term looms before us. Last week saw some great action at the Round the World party, which is as always, a lot of fun in its own way. Crack and his team managed to pull off the behind the scenes job necessary to make our second annual Penny Wars a success. (Without Cracking) Of course the winner has been already determined by the time this sees print, but right now the war is still in progress. We won 't mention organization names to protect the innocent, but rumor has it that a certain red, buff, and green sorority is near the lead, closely followed by a blue and yellow sorority. A third sorority is near the end of the pack, a bunch of other fraternities trailing the original two sororities, and a certain annoying set of Luggage residing far beneath sorority 113. Rushees, keep coming down! We'll be up there to visit too. Remember, mealtimes are great times to hang out, 12 noon and Spm. Pool sharks, come on down and try to take out Bob, Stacy, Gerry, Pooter, or any one of these guys who think they can play. By the way, watch out for those Dover St. clowns. It seems they've enrolled Artie into their twisted web ofwackiness. Okay that shall be all for this column, and this term. Seniors have one term left before they can start blowing off FBH and wait-ons with a vengeance. Have a great break everyone, and lets hope nobody experiences any October Snow. (Precedes No-vember Rain).
Hi!! ! How's life??? Okay, about this time J can feel the stress emanating from everybody from finals week. This computer lab is occupied by 20 severely snarljng, cross-eyed people (Michelle, Rhonda, Holly) trying to work. I wonder if they realize that their faces can stay that way. No more teachers, no more book, no more .....Well, Happy Break! I hope everybody is thinking about RUSH! Get psyched AGO! Hmmm, the decision of the week - Mud Wrestling or Hotel Partying (Thank you to ATO and SAE). Sorry Nicole, You're doing an awesome job with the socials. It 's just that every time I went to raise my hand I could see my computer project leap before my eyes. Happy Birthday to (drum roii)...Sue, Chris (Cafa), Debbie, and Toni!!! We love you.
Debbie, I'm glad you know the whole tune of Yankee Doodle and Edelweiss, or Sara and I would have been dead in the water. Come along, join our throng (This word seems to be controversial. Did I spell it wrong? I guess in our Win, Lose, or Draw game this would be a sounds like.) Jen and Darlene, are you sure that Pooh is a Darwin theme? Thank you both for stress reliever, we appreciate it. Rho Chi's and Panhell - thanks for all the work you're doing for Rush! Okay, l can't spell (I go to WPf)-lt's Pineo of the Mr. Pineo and the Appliance Dancers, not Pruneo. The bridge looked great-thanks to everybody and Mary' special green wrapping. Go Donna U.!

Congrats to Tucker"Danvers" and Matt Cote, who scored his first(??) goal of the season. If I didn' t know nay better, I'd say the soccer team is NCAA bound. Keep it up, guys. By the way, Mitch and 0'0, I heard Stanford bas a beautiful campus.
ITKS Well Brothers, intramurals went well with the demoralizmg victory over Theta Chi. Unfortunately, after they discovered a technicality, the decision was overturned. Well Theta Chi, it's ama1ing what a bucket fu ll of tears will do for you! On another note, everyone enjoyed watching Brother Bennett make a PB & F (peanut butter and Fooz) on Saturday night.
l:AE Well, where should we start! BOWL-ATHON '92! But just as soon as it started, it was over (Just like Hooch's sex life) It was another immortal MMHH, one for the record books. Once again we learn that "every party has a poopa!" To the victims at the condemned BowlFest, names will not be changed to protect the guilty (Jippy, Sted, Chinny, D-cup, AISheila, Numnuts, Mercury, Spax, Jibbs) especially you Jibbs! Way to be good sports, to the rest. MEURPI MEURP! Well, Rush is under way and going well, congrats to Sash. Oh, quick draw are you rushing, so I hear from a beaker chick. So how do you like the house? Bouch, pick up everyone at the Dentist. You had long enough time! Could Snazz be in the zoo? A question to be announced. How awful could you get? Chase, god forbid you could get any! Hate to pan with the U.C. I hear, well, happy hunting! Five Apples!!
TKE I would like to thank all the Freshman who came dow n for Python & Blues and lhe TKE Connection. What was the most exotic thing you've had in your mouth???? Last week Jan and Shane got their wheels back and we celebrated by making a run to the border. Can I have extra cheese nachos? By the way Bahlz, excellent use of the Jedi Mind trick on Faass on the way there. TKE Cross Country came in first place in the cross country meet for all Fraternities, thank you. We had a strong team captained by Stimpy and Markus. Good luck to everybody on their finals, have kick ass vacation, keep your shirt on and don't give Mez anymore shaving cream. Oh, and one more thing... RUSH TKE!!!!
ex Ahh, Yeah ....On the new front this week yet another story involving hostages and the use of political prisoners arises. It appears a leftist group planned the attack and siege of Jimmy G's hideaway in an effort to secure the secret weapon code name "Skye". The attack was led by his estranged ex and an assortment of other upset females. They stormed the room wearing gas masks while toting large amounts of hair spray. No one was seriously hun by the attack except Smitty who upon being sprayed lost
control of his motor skills and involuntarily lost all his extra men in Prince of Persia (as of this writing there is a suit pending for punitive damages). Taz was also affected by the spraying but in a different way (he locked himself and Monty in the chem lab in an attempt to recreate the "wonder" drug). In unrelated news Griffiths broke down and was admitted to a mental health institute two days ago. According to his mother he fell extremely lonely on the hill and as his repeated cries for help went unanswered he sunk lower into his depression. His last words were, "you guys know that you can visit me, right? right?"...After he was taken away A-ron also attested to the fact that loneliness is tough, "Sometimes I wonder if anyone hears my cry for help". He was promptly booted out the window by anti-sentiment leader Butland...Thats all for now...gp l
zw First of all, on behalf of the Leukemia Society, I would like to thank everyone who bought a ticket in the TV raffle. And congratulations are in orderto the winner of the brand new stereo TV.
On a lighter note, things in our kitchen this past week have been, to say the least, interesting. The Rice Krispies stopped saying "Snap, crackle, pop." Now it sounds something like "Fnap, Merkle, Chops." Oh well, I guess it was time for a change anyway. I would like to take some space here to remember all of the poor innocent chickens who lost their lives in the great chicken travesty of last Thursday night. What he was trying to cook we shall never know. Maybe he worked in Daka too long last year. Well last night's rush event was Monday night football and killer subs, I hope everyone had their fill. But keep your eye out for Thursday's movie and pizza night. Imagine yourself watching choice movies while enjoying the finest pizza Worcester has to offer. Besides it's the perfect study break if you just want to come down for some quick free pizza. So there's A-term for you. Good luck to all on your finals and we shall see you again to kick off B-term. But as you study for these finals so that you may graduate and lead a successful life remember Mark Twain: "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure."
