IN THE NEWS to volunteers w ho do n o t have HIV and those who d o have HIV virus, but d o not show any AIDS sym ptom s. T his is the first test in the US; it follow s a test th at occurred in France with 23 volunteers that show ed no side effects. The G EM 91 oligonucleotide is m eant to bind with the m essenger RN A and prevent the pro duction o f proteins that the A ID S virus needs.

International News Force Ruled Out T he w ord from the W hite H ouse co n cern ing d iplom acy, recently has been a consistent reluctance to use m ilitary force. In the p ast the US has provided m ilitary aid in m any o f the U N ’s d ealings, but it is now backing away from that policy. O n A pril 3rd, D efense Secretary W illiam J. Perry ruled out m ilitary action to save a Bosnian tow n from Serbian attack. The tow n o f G orazade has been de clared a safe zone by the UN S ecurity C ouncil and there are observers in the area. The US has expressed a w illingness to provide air strike support to protect official UN Peacekeepers, but w ill not extend the o ffer further. The takeover o f G orazade could result in further civilian death in the M uslim -Serb conflict, as well as displace many inhabitants due to the ethnic cleansing o f the region. C oncern has been expressed that the US reluctance to use force against this attack will give Serbs the green light to continue attacks. In further reluctance to back US policy w ith force, ad m inistrators have ruled out using a pre-em ptive m ilitary strike against N orth Korea if they continue to deny access to their nuclear plants. Brent S coucroft, N ational Security A dvisor to G eorge Bush, com m ented that current policy undercuts diplom atic pressures.

by D ennis Obie Newspeak S ta ff W hat would happen if, during the New Voices festival, half o f the cast went out drinking, d e stroyed a bar, were put in jail, and could not show up for opening night? Ten by 6 or Ten Nights in a Barroom by Richard Kinter presents this scenar io and tells the story o f a cast o f six actors that attempts to put on a play that requires ten. The W orcester Foothills Theatre Company performs this funny, musical spoof on the evil o f “drink” from April 6 through April 24th. T he story o f Ten by 6 revolves around a traveling troupe o f actors in a repertory c o m pany in the late 19th century. As the com pany begins to prepare fo r their perform ance o f T en

her spotlight. G allager Flugg (portrayed by M ichael G. D ell’orto) - A most serious actor who aspires one day to play all the leading roles. B e lin d a B u n so ft (p o rtra y e d by L eslie K incaid) - An actress w hose m ade her name playing ch ild parts. N evertheless, the cast q u ick ly pulls togeth er and decides to double u p parts and perform the show. The plot o f Ten Nights in a Barroom in volves tw o fam ilies and th e effects of alcohol on them . As the cast perform s this m usical, jokes and laughs come from all sides. Many com edic situations are caused by the lack o f actors and their ability to g et the show off. For exam ple, during one of the scenes, Mr. Romaine, played by G allager Flugg (w ho is por trayed by M ichael G. D e ll’orto) says “Boy, I would sure like to meet that scoundrel Mr. Harvey G reenly (who he also portrays).” One o f the cast m em bers asides, “not tonight you w on’t!” Furtherm ore, th e m usical num bers

are funny and the choreography o f the dances are very com ical and add trem endously to the hum or o f the w hole show. The cast m em bers also encourage audience participation in the show. T hroughout m any scenes the actors w ould coax the audience to react to the situations on stage. For exam ple, w henever the villian came onto the stage, he gestured to the audience to boo and hiss. F ur therm ore, w hen the cast needed one m ore actor to appear in a small part in a scene, they asked for a volunteer from the audience. So be prepared to becom e an actor for a few m inutes. The acting in the show w as superb (in clu d ing the volunteer) and the entire cast did a great job with th eir various parts. In addition, the m usical num bers were very w ell directed and choreographed; I highly recom m end the show . Student rush tickets are available for seven dollars w ith valid ID for all perform ances.

COMMENTARY

Just a Thought What we live by by Stephen Brown Protestant Campus Ministry Last Sunday, I lo st a friend... for aw hile. C harles K urault had hosted CBS Sunday M orning for 15 years and had decided to retire from telev i sion and w rite. For those o f us loyal enough to get up on Sunday m orning, we were treated to 90 m inutes o f new s, com m entary, and reports on the A rts and A m erican life in G eneral. K urault was a m aster story teller, w eaving into the program a lyric, alm ost poetic kind o f w riting that has vanished not just from television, but from our lives. We d o n ’t have tim e for stories m uch an y m o re. “Ju st the fa c ts, M a’am !” “W h at’s the bottom line?” “D on’t confuse m e w ith stories and tales, ju st tell me what I need to know .” I know that is certainly the attitude you find am ong college students. They want to know exactly what they need to know in ord er to pass the exam s and

get an A for the course. H ere at W PI, if m ost students had their w ay, they w ould skip the H istory and L iterature and all that “other s t u f f ’ and ju st co n centrate on the engineering courses; the “ s t u f f ’ they cam e here for. L et us leave aside for the m om ent my d eep prejudice that anyone g rad u ating from college w ho does not know h is/her history or the great literature o f th eir culture has no business g et ting any kind o f degree. N o, another problem with assum ing you ju s t need the “ fa c ts”, the vital know ledge to help you do the jo b you are training to do is that facts are not enough. They may be helpful here and there, but “ facts” , num bers, equations and all the scientifically “proven s t u f f ’ is not what w e live by. W hat we really live by is the stories we know and tell. It may be nice to know what is causing the O zone to deplete, or what percentage o f infla tion will help or m ess up the economy.

Help clean up Institute Park On April 23, a pre-Earth Day clean up will be occurring in Institute Park. W P I’s chapter of the Global A ffairs Party in cooperation with the City o f W orcester w ill be picking up refuse and debris in and around Institute Pond. Sign up sheets have been d eliv ered to all the cam pus clubs, sororities and fraternities. T here are also sign

tion, but it w ill be the fam ily and personal stories that w ill m ake the difference. T hat is why I have com e to believe that bom barding college kids with ju st the “ F A C T S” about HIV/AIDS will not really m ake chang e s in their behaviors. Y oung p eo p le’s stories do not have young lovers d y ing from sexually transm itted diseas es. Kids grow up w ith stories where the young lovers overcom e great odds to live happily ever after. N ot until they hear and leam N EW STORIES w ill they begin to change their sexual behavior. W hat is true for persons is true for countries. W e A m ericans have not given up on the “ rugged individualist,” “ let’s conquer the frontier” stories. So w e allow m ore guns per person than any other industrial nations. And all the crime statistics and m urder cases leading o ff the 11 o ’clock news will not make us seriously change our love affair with guns. Facts are nice, but it

is the story that m atters. R eligion is the sam e way. W e just celebrated E aster as C hristians this past week. N ow , if you ask m e to explain the R esurrection or give you the exact historical facts concerning the life of Jesus, I c a n ’t do that. The Bible is not a history book; it is a book of beliefs, o r theology. W hat m atters is the stories and w hat they m ean to the believer. I believe the resurrec tion story m eans that death is not the final statem ent about hum anity but life is, and the life o f Jesus m eans that I am called to live and practice broth erhood and sisterhood, feed the hun gry, heal the sick, and free the op pressed. It is the STO R Y O F JESUS that m atters, not the history o f his life, m ost o f w hich w e do not know. So m aybe you ought to look more kindly at the hum anities you have to take along your college journey. They are great places to leam and develop your ow n stories.

COMMENTARY

Just a Thought What we live by by Stephen Brown Protestant Campus Ministry Last Sunday, I lost a friend... for awhile. C harles Kurault had hosted CBS Sunday M orning for 15 years and had decided to retire from televi sion and w rite. For those o f us loyal enough to get up on Sunday m orning, we w ere treated to 90 m inutes o f news, com m entary, and reports on the Arts and A m erican life in G eneral. Kurault was a m aster story teller, w eaving into the program a lyric, alm ost poetic kind o f w riting that has vanished not just from television, but from our lives. W e d o n 't have time for stories m uch an y m o re. “Just the facts, M a'am !” "W h at’s the bottom line?” "D o n 't confuse m e with stories and tales, ju st tell me what 1 need to know .” I know that is certainly the attitude you find am ong college students. They want to know exactly what they need to know in o rd erto pass the exam s and

Or w e may want to read Consumers Report before buying a car or truck. But in the end, 1 believe we make decisions based more on which stories we believe than which facts we know. Take buying the car. 1 can look all I want to at a Ford, but my w ife’s family does not buy Fords. They be lieve that FORD stands for Found on the Road Dead or Fix O r Repair Daily. It d o esn ’t m atter how nice a Ford might look or ride, they will not buy one. They buy C hevy’s. So if you drive by my house, you will see a Chevy C a price and a GM C Safari (alm ost a Chevy) in my driveway. You will not see, nor are you likely to see in my w ife’s lifetime a Ford there. We d o n ’t believe in Fords, so we d o n ’t buy them. We go by the family story. M aybe that is a trivial exam ple, but I think it holds for all o f us in a greater way than we think. When m aking decisions about our lives, we may look at the facts in a given situa

get an A fo r the course. H ere at W PI, if m ost students had th eir way, they w ould skip the History and Literature and all that “other s tu f f ’ and ju st co n centrate on the engineering courses; the “ s tu f f ’ they cam e here for. Let us leave aside for the mom ent my deep prejudice that anyone g radu ating from college who does not know his/her history or the great literature o f their culture has no business get ting any kind o f degree. No, another problem with assum ing you just need the “ facts” , the vital know ledge to help you do the jo b you are training to do is that facts are not enough.

Global Affairs Party Hi G apsters! W e’ve been m issing a lot o f people at m eetings recently, we could get a lot more done if more people would com e. At the last m eeting we discussed changing m eeting times to try to accom m odate more m em bers, but we need your input to know if that should be done. W e also have a new G A P stu ff on Internet, so everyone can post stu ff and find out what th e y ’ve been missing. Earth Day activities are com ing together, so keep your eyes and ears open for ways you can help out. If you plan to help out at the cleanup email Jennx at jen@ w pi to tell her w hen you can make it, cleanup is from I0am -2pm Sat, April 23rd. W e’re thinking of having a party to watch som e globally oriented m ovies, eat, and generally h av e fun. The next m eeting will be April 14th at 6:30pm in AK, as usual. Hope to see you there.

This may com e as a shock, but we have at most three m ore Friday evening m eetings be fore this school year is over. Great things are being planned for each one, so don’t miss Higgins 10 1 at 7 p.m. W ednesday night prayer and share meetings continue to encourage and uplift as we see God answ ering our prayer requests. Join us in Founders C ountry K itchen at 8 p.m. Saturday m orning sports meet in front of Alumni Gym at 10:30 a.m. C ongratulations to our soccer team for some great playing! The last two gam es are W ednesday and next Tuesday at 9 p.m. Come cheer the team on if you can. Principal num ber four for staying in the race: Know G o d 's Word. “ Study to show thyself approved unto G od, a workman that needeth not to be asham ed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Tim othy 2:15). One of the first signs that we aren't staying in the race is a loss of regular quality time studying G od’s word. The best way to combat this is to make it a habit, som ething you cannot get through your day without doing. As we hit the downhill side of the term, schedules get busy, and soon sum m er com es. I challenge you to make time in G o d ’s word a daily priority so we can stay in the race these last weeks and all sum m er long! Study of the Bible is not an option, or som ething we should do, but something God commands. And the reward of daily spending the time will be growing closer to God and a growing desire to spend the time with Him each day.

W ow, go o d thing I rem em bered the club corner. T oo bad I d o n ’t have any info to put in. Hope the concert went well and living arrange ments w eren ’t a problem ...

T h a t’s ok. I’m the one w h o ’s got the map. They think I know the way. 1 c o u ld n ’t find my own behind. Bought a ticket for the tram - BIG m istake. Rode it up and down three tim es. I ’m a fake. Looks like I had better find another route to take. It’s a dead end. Begin again. Chorus: W rong way Bridge: I took the wrong way. Marched right dow n another street. W hat a day!

Ultimate Whoopi Well a lot has happened over the past two weeks. First off, let us thank Megan for that tremendous diss in the W orcester M agazine. We owe her a great deal o f thanks for focusing on the only Ultimate team in W orcester and its mem bers. Hey Beth ... while Will “ N othm ard” is preparing for final (w hoever that is), w e’ll be out on the field. Sorry to all those who cam e out bloodied and bruised at the photo shoot and d idn’t make it into the publication. The reputation of Liquid Scream must be spreading or som ething. Corporate club mem bers and players from other universities have suddenly started appearing at practice wanting to play with us. (Are they professional scouts or just nervous about spring season com petition?) In what other WPI sport will this happen? Then there is the phenom enon of last Thurs d ay ’s practice. I don’t think there has ever been as many bad passes and fumbled catches in Ultimate history as there was in just the tw o and a half hoursof our practice. I would like to make a public apology to the team for being responsi ble for half o f those statistics. Let’s try and get the coordination of a 3 year old for this w eek’s practices. “When it is cold, when it is windy, when it is r a in y ,... it requires dive ju ice.”

Storytim e... 9 m iles to go... T om orrow night has been official d esig n at ed “ D estroy Dority N ight.” Any gripes, co m plaints, or qualm s with him can be settled then. All are w elcom e... Benefits will be co n trib u t ed to the National M ultiple Sclerosis Society. 8 m iles to go... Pearl Jam sucks!!! Spree Day... W ill Johnny hang out and get m ade fun o f with the C ranberries on their tour bus and continue the tradition? W ill we find Fred? Do we want to find Fred? W ill D ority drink? W ill Len find a place w here he fits in? W ill G ifford wet h im self or will he stay hom e and do M Q P instead? W ill we all m ake friends? W ill we be accused o f being rig h t w inged fascist pigs? T une in next w eek to find out all o f our stories on our excursion to C lark... 7 miles to go... Steve c a n ’t we ju st give the m oney... Hey Phil, th at’s the attitude we like to see... Is it me o r do project partners suck in gener al? Hide all your breakables and sharp objects because Saturday is C lam bake. Festivities all day with e v ery b o d y ’s favorite alum ni and p ar ents. And th a t’s not all... Party that night with a band... A whole w eekend full o f fun and excitem ent.

6 m iles to go... L e t’s stop at that liquor store up ahead... See you next T uesday!!!

0X B W G W N B ...T his w ould be a hell o f a lot easier if som eone would d o som ething cool every once in a w hile. T opping the headlines this w eek: the ro o f is allegedly fixed, so no more endless hours o f enjoym ent dodging co n tam inated w ater drops, n o m ore refreshing glasses o f w ater straight from the springs o f insulation, and no more taping up B ow ie and exposing him to C hinese w ater toture. W hile we m ay n ot be ab le to hang out on the roof any m ore, nobody really has tim e anym ore with the recent epidem ic o f basketball fev er spreading rapidly thro u g h o u t the house, “ I t’s like an addiction fo r me n o w ”, said Sam m y after fin ishing up one o f his patented 360 degree re verses. N ow a q uick word on intram urals: cup! and in a related story both A and B team s m ade hockey headlines again this w eek as the B team squeaked o u t a w in after Jake “ the enforcer” helped take out o n e o f the oppositions toughest defenders. A team , on the other hand, rolled over their opposition with a shut-out pitched by Ewen R oy thanks to the excellent defense o f Sean C helios, Ryan B ourque, and Tom Iafrate...O h yah, the offense scored alot too. W ell Mik did get that social he w anted after all, com ing out o f his recent sentencing he had this to say “ I guess having fun is illeg al”, w hich I guess is true if you have a really m essed up idea o f fun. A m idget with an um brella “Bob and Stan go to a m ovie, during a quiet scene B ob pulls out a gun and shoots Stan. W hen leaving the theatre Bob is surrounded by a m ob o f people w ho detain him until the p olice show up and let him g o .” I gotta go play basketball and vamp.

TKE Hello, w here should I start? Rollz seem s like a good place. Easter Sunday night w hat a m iserable w reck. Loses control o f many bodi ly functions. G ets a call the next day to star in new D epends com m ercial with the two other 50 year old w om en talking about occasional bladder control problem s. M aybe we can put him on a runner too. Enough o f DAKA m an. How do I close the m inutes for the last house m eeting? D ue form is not in order. H ockey and Soccer are both rolling along m errily. T m inus four days till Sewer Fest 94. The M ighty T h o r’s w edding w ill be the pre-festivity en ter tainm ent. If you ev er w ake up and feel it is definitely going to be a bad day, just d o w hat I do. C om e to Room 22 (the room with H eath and the dog... no they a re n ’t one in the sam e) and open the door and look straight ahead at the room across the hall. W hat you will see will cause you to view your life in a new , brighter sense. “Thank god, at least I am not that” will undoubtedly run through your head. Pet peeve o f the week: People who w alk around cam pus holding C heese. As usual if you d o n ’t like this colum n.:, go w rite your own or run for m y jo b next year. See ya!!!!! Z4> Ok, give it back I tell ya, give it back. You know w ho you are. Y eah, you, the stupid looking one over in the com er. G ive our flag back. D o n ’t even have the guts to say you did it. Ha. W hat a loser! You d id n ’t even use any style. I m ean if I were to do som ething dum b like that I w ould d o it with class and at least a little style. You d id n ’t even leave a note. W hat a schm uck. A schm uck I tell yeah! Ok, o ff to never never land... K lew ienHows the hand? B en -W h ere’s the hair? W oogW here’s the party? Nick- W h e re ’s the m oney? A nybody- W h e re ’s the roofer guys? How m any o f you saw it rain in the b ase ment all last w eek? I tell ya the rain forests aren ’t dying, th e y ’re m oving to our house! W hich I hope is still standing after S pring M adness. Holy Party Batm an! Did som eone get the num ber o f that C hicken Boo? M etal M irror on the w all, w h o 's the greatest Phi o f all? **W ith bottle kills provin’, it’s gotta be Bill Klew ien** Larry, C hris— hows our favorite pledgem an doing ? Fine. G ood.
